NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Zoned Properties, Inc. (“Zoned Properties” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2003. In October 2013, the Company changed its name to Zoned Properties, Inc. and in April 2014, the Company shifted its business model to address commercial real estate in the regulated cannabis industry. Zoned Properties is a technology-driven property investment company focused on acquiring value-add real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States. The Company aspires to innovate within the real estate development sector, focusing on direct-to-consumer real estate that is leased to the best-in-class cannabis retailers. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its standardized investment model backed by its proprietary property technology. Zoned Properties has developed a national ecosystem of real estate services to support its real estate development model, including a commercial real estate brokerage and a real estate advisory practice. The Company operates in two organized segments; (1) the operations, leasing and management of its commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) the advisory, brokerage and technology services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company targets commercial properties that face unique zoning or development challenges, identifies solutions that can potentially have a major impact on their commercial value, and then works to acquire the properties while securing long-term, absolute-net leases. The Company does not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis or any substances regulated under United States law such as the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, as amended (the “CSA”).

ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2024.

 

Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company generated net income of $96,473 and cash provided by operations of $207,218 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $1,519,903 and stockholders’ equity of $5,352,650.

 

The cash balance and positive net cash provided by operating activities serves to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the Company has sufficient cash and positive cash flows to meet its obligations for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this filing.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of investment in equity securities, the useful life of rental properties and property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets including rental property and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of derivative asset or liability related to interest rate swap, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, including options and stock-based compensation.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business in states that have legalized and regulated cannabis. Additionally, the Company’s tenants operate in the state-legalized and state-regulated cannabis industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the state markets in which the Company operates or any changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws or changes in state laws could potentially have a negative effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, substantially all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net leases to tenants (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant Tenants”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenues associated with Significant Tenants amounted to $596,707 and $592,848, respectively, which represents 71.3% and 86.1% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3).

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, capitalized permit costs, escrow deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
(Unaudited)

 

The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

  Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

Other than the interest rate swap, the Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value, on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

 

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy of its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Interest rate swap

 

In connection with a bank loan executed in 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk related to debt that accrues interest at variable rates. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreement in accordance with the guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. Interest payments receivable and payable under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement are accrued over the period to which the payment relates and the net difference is treated as an adjustment of interest expense related to the underlying liability. Because the variable interest rates used to calculate payments under the terms of the swap agreement are calculated using different benchmarks than those included in the Company’s variable rate debt agreement, the swap agreement is not considered an effective cash flow hedge.

 

Accordingly, changes in the underlying market value of the remaining swap payments are recognized into income as an increase or decrease to other income (expense) each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company believes values provided by East West Bank (the “Counterparty”) represent the fair value of its swap agreement. The Company believes that the quality of the Counterparty to its swap agreement mitigates the Counterparty credit risk.

 

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is determined by the Counterparty based on market data used by Counterparty and is reflected as a derivative asset or liability on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value reflected in change in fair value of interest rate swap on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage interest rate risks and not as investment vehicles.

Cash

 

Cash is carried at cost and represents cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. The Company had no cash equivalents on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s cash is held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $993,000 and $2,555,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Accounts receivable

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.

 

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

 

The Company has equity investments in various privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments either under the equity method or cost method of accounting depending on the Company’s ownership interest and level of influence. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded based upon the amount of the Company’s investment and adjusted each period for its share of the investee’s income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its investments in these entities for consolidation. It considers its percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

 

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective joint venture and the Company’s share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities.

 

Long-term investments

 

Long-term investments include investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence and are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments is less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in non-operating income (loss). On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, long-term investments consisted of an investment in convertible preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value (see Note 5).

 

Rental properties

 

Rental properties are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 39 years. Tenant improvements paid for by the Company are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocates the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

The Company’s rental properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared.

 

If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

 

The Company has land which is not subject to depreciation.

 

Escrow deposits

 

The Company is in the business of pursuing real estate acquisitions and investments that may include various contractual instruments to secure a property, such as an Option Agreement or a Purchase and Sale Agreement. These agreements often include the requirement to make escrow deposits. Escrow deposits include cash deposits made by the Company for the future acquisition of properties or for the option to acquire a property. In most cases, upon closing of the acquisition of a property, the escrow deposit will be applied to the purchase price. In some cases, the Company may discontinue pursuit of an acquisition of a property and therefore terminate an existing agreement, which can cause forfeiture of escrow deposits if those deposits are non-refundable. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company forfeited escrow deposits of $21,600 and $15,000, respectively, which is reflected in operating expenses as part of property portfolio business development costs on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, escrow deposits amounted to $278,716 and $177,048, respectively.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The Company uses a five-year life for office equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures, and five to ten years for vehicles. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.

 

The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Property Investment Portfolio Revenues

 

Rental income is accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 842 “Leases” and includes base rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of rent abatements under the leases. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

 

Currently, the Company’s leases provide for payments with fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases or annual percentage increases in base rent over the term of the lease. The leases also require the tenant to remit estimated monthly payments to the Company for property taxes and common area maintenance. These payments are recorded as rental income and the related property tax expense is reflected separately on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate Services Revenues

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), except for revenues from lease contracts within the scope of ASC 842, which are excluded from ASC 606. This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and requires certain additional disclosures. 

 

Revenues from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with clients and collectability is probable.

 

Brokerage revenues primarily consist of real estate sales commissions and are recognized upon the successful completion of all required services which is likely to occur upon a lease commencement, when escrow closes on the sale of a property, or as otherwise negotiated between the Brokerage and its clients. In accordance with the guidelines established for reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent in ASC Topic 606, the Company records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in ASC Topic 606, the Company is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service, has credit risk, and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications. Brokerage revenues that are payable upon payment of rent or other events beyond the Company’s control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.

 

Contract liabilities

 

Contract liabilities include advisory fees received in advance that are deferred and recognized when the services are complete or over the actual or expected contract term, rental revenue received in advance, and other deferred revenue for when the Company receives consideration from an agreement before certain criteria have been met for revenue to be recognized in conformity with GAAP. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, contract liabilities activities were as follows:

Lease accounting

 

The FASB’s ASC Topic 842, “Leases” sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

 

For leases entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessor, at the inception of the contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease by reviewing the terms of the lease and determining if the lessee obtains control of the underlying asset implicitly or explicitly. If a change to a pre-existing lease occurs, the Company evaluates if the modification results in a separate new lease or a modified lease. A new lease results when a modification provides additional right of use. The new lease or modified lease is then reassessed to determine its classification based on the modified terms. As disclosed in Note 3, on January 24, 2022 and effective on March 1, 2022, the Chino Valley lease was amended and the monthly base rent was increased to $87,581 due to additional space of 30,000 square feet being leased to the lessee, increasing the premises to a total of 97,312 square feet of operational space. In connection with this lease amendment, the Company paid $500,000 to the tenant as a tenant improvement allowance or lease incentive for investment into the premises, which was capitalized as a lease incentive receivable and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term as a reduction to the lease income. The increase in monthly rent was commensurate with the additional space being leased; therefore, this modification qualifies as a separate contract under ASC 842 which does not require lease classification reassessment. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12-months or less as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-lines basis over the lease term.

The Company records revenues from rental properties for its operating leases where it is the lessor on a straight-line basis. Any revenue on the straight-line basis exceeding the monthly payment amount required on the operating lease is reflected as deferred rent. In 2020, the Company amended its leases for which it is the lessor on its Chino Valley, Tempe, Kingman and Green Valley properties. The amendments resulted in an abatement of rent for the months of June and July 2020. Additionally, in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Michigan property acquired in December 2022, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from December 2022 to March 2023, and in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Chicago property acquired in January 2024, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from January 2024 to August 2024. These rent abatements and the effect of recording rent on a straight-line basis resulted in aggregate deferred rent as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $459,520 and $371,472, respectively (see Note 3). Additionally, if the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

 

For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessee, at the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. For leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s administrative office lease, the Company analyzed if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASC 842.

 

Operating lease right of use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate of 6% based on the information available at the adoption date or execution of a lease agreement in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

 

Basic and diluted loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive common shares and participating securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses. The Company’s preferred stock is considered a participating security since the preferred shares are entitled to dividends equal to common share dividends and accordingly, are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing (loss) income per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines (loss) income per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

Segment reporting

 

The Company operates in two reportable segments which consist of (1) the operations, leasing and management of its leased commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company has determined that these reportable segments were strategic business units that offered different products. Currently, these reportable segments are being managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

 

Income tax

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Chino Valley, AZ

 

On May 1, 2018, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow entered into a Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2018 between Chino Valley and Broken Arrow (the “2018 Chino Valley Lease”), with a term of 22 years, expiring April 30, 2040, and the abatement of rent that would otherwise have been due for the month of April 2018 under the prior Chino Valley Lease. The 2018 Chino Valley Lease provided for payment by Broken Arrow of a fixed monthly base rent of $35,000, as well as real property taxes, personal property taxes, privilege, sales, rental, excise, use and/or other taxes (excluding income or estate taxes) levied upon or assessed against Chino Valley. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, Broken Arrow agreed to maintain insurance in full force during the term of the 2018 Chino Valley Lease and any other period of occupancy of the premises by Broken Arrow. On January 1, 2019, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow entered into that the First Amendment to the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, pursuant to which the monthly base rent was increased from $35,000 to $40,000. Except for the increase in base rent, the terms of the 2018 Chino Valley Lease remain in full force and effect.

 

On May 29, 2020, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow entered into a Second Amendment to the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, as amended (the “2020 Chino Valley Amendment”), effective May 31, 2020 (“Effective Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Chino Valley Amendment, among other things, the base rent was adjusted to $32,800 per month, and the base rent was abated from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Any increase in the rentable area of the leased premises will result in an increase in all amounts calculated based on the same, including, without limitation, base rent. Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Chino Valley Amendment, the parties agreed that if there is any change in laws such that the dispensing, sale or cultivation of marijuana upon the premises is prohibited or materially and adversely affected as mutually and reasonably determined by Chino Valley and Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow may terminate the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, as amended, by delivering written notice to Chino Valley, together with a termination payment which shall be the sum of (i) any unpaid rent and interest, plus (ii) 5% of the base rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the term. In addition, the parties agreed that from the period from the Effective Date to June 30, 2022 (the “Improvement Period”), Broken Arrow will and/or Broken Arrow will cause its affiliate, CJK, to invest a combined total of at least $8,000,000 of improvements (“Investment by Tenants”) in and to the property that is the subject of the Chino Valley Lease and the property that is the subject of the Tempe Lease (discussed below, and collectively referred to as the “Facilities”). The Company’s Significant Tenants completed the Investment by Tenants to the Facilities totaling in excess of $8,000,000 and have satisfied the contractual obligations related to the same.

 

On August 23, 2021, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Chino Valley Amendment”) to the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, as amended (the “Chino Valley Lease”), effective September 1, 2021. The parties previously agreed that the base rental payments under the Chino Valley Lease would increase commensurate to any and all expanded and operational square footage on the premises by calculating the fixed rate of $0.82 per square foot per month by the new operational square footage. Accordingly, in the Third Chino Valley Amendment, the parties agreed that, as of September 1, 2021, the rental payment is increased to $55,195 per month base rental payment, plus additional rental payments, as a result of the increase in the square footage to 67,312 square feet of operational space. This lease modification qualified as a separate contract as the modification grants the tenant additional right of use not included in the original lease, as amended, and the increase in monthly rent payments is commensurate with the standalone price for the additional square footage being leased.

Asset concentration

 

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to Significant Tenants under absolute-net and triple-net leases that terminate through March 2037 and April 2040, respectively. The Company monitors the credit of all tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. The Company monitors tenant credit by (1) reviewing financial statements and related metrics and information that are publicly available or that are provided to us upon request, and (2) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an asset concentration related to the Significant Tenants. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Significant Tenants collectively leased approximately 73.6% and 69.4% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. Through March 31, 2024, all rental payments have been made on a timely basis.

 

Industry risk

 

Downturns relating to certain industries or business sectors or the financial stability of the Company’s significant tenants may have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s assets and its ability to pay its operating expenses or pay dividends than if the Company had a diversified property portfolio and service offerings. The Company’s total assets are concentrated into a limited number of tenants who were considered significant tenants. To the extent that the Company’s total assets are concentrated in a limited number of tenants that are in the regulated cannabis industry, downturns relating generally to such industry or business sector, or a decline in the financial stability of the Company’s Significant Tenants may result in defaults on all of the Company’s leases within a short time period, which may reduce the Company’s net income and the value of the Company’s common stock and accordingly, limit the Company’s ability to pay our operating expenses or pay dividends to its stockholders. If the Company’s tenants are prohibited from operating or cannot pay their rent, the Company may not have enough working capital to support its operations and the Company would need to consider seeking out new tenants at rental rates per square foot that may be less than its current rate per square foot.

On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held investments with aggregate carrying values of $4,923 and $4,923, respectively. The entities listed below are partially owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise financial and operating control over these entities. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where the Company’s investment may not be recoverable. A summary of the Company’s original investments in the unconsolidated affiliated entities and net carrying value amount is as follows:

Total investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities          $176,000   $4,923   $4,923 

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement”) with a non-affiliated joint venture partner in connection with the formation of Zoneomics Green, LLC (“Zoneomics Green”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 1, 2021. Zoneomics Green’s goal is to utilize advanced property technology to provide solutions for property identification in regulated industries such as regulated cannabis. Pursuant to the Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement, the Company purchased 50 units of Zoneomics Green for a capital contribution of $90,000, which represents 50% of the membership interests of Zoneomics Green and the other joint venture partner received 50% of the membership interests for the contribution of its intellectual property and a number of non-monetary contributions. identified in the Zoneomics Green Operation Agreement but provided no capital contributions. Each unit represents, with respect to any member, such member’s: (i) interest in Zoneomics Green’s capital, (ii) share of Zoneomics Green’s net profits and net losses (and specially allocated items of income, gain, and deduction), and the right to receive distributions of net cash flow from Zoneomics Green, (iii) right to inspect Zoneomics Green’s books and records, and (iv) right to participate in the management of and vote on matters coming before the members as provided in the Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement. The transactions discussed above resulted in a joint venture, in accordance with ASC 323-10 – Investments- Equity and Joint Ventures, between the Company and the non-affiliated party. Each of the entities has 50% equity ownership and voting rights, and joint control in Zoneomics Green. In June 2021, the Company contributed $90,000 to Zoneomics Green. Currently, the Zoneomics Green team has completed the creation of the foundational design, technology platform, and market positioning for Zoneomics Green to launch in the cannabis industry. However, in order to successfully launch, the technology platform relies upon a required merchant banking component. While Company management knew this risk was a major factor going into the investment, it was not foreseen exactly when an appropriate merchant banking solution would be available given the federal status of regulated cannabis and specifically the federal banking status as it relates to regulated cannabis, even for ancillary services such as Zoneomics Green. The regulatory status related to cannabis banking reform and regulation at the federal level, which the Zoneomics platform relies upon, is uncertain and the Company believes it is appropriate to cause an impairment of the Zoneomics Green investment at this time, while also understanding that Company believes Zoneomics Green may still create material value for the Company in the future. Additionally, the Company is using the Zoneomics Green technology within its own business to generate leads for new projects. The Company has no further financial or investment obligations at this time. Accordingly, on December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $45,000 because it was determined that the fair value of its equity method investment in Zoneomics was less than its carrying value. Based on management’s evaluation, it was determined that due to market and regulatory conditions, implementing the Company’s business model was at risk and that the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment in Zoneomics was impaired.

East West Bank Swap note

 

On July 11, 2022, Zoned Arizona entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of July 11, 2022, by and between Zoned Arizona and East West Bank (the “Bank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, subject to and upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Zoned Arizona could request advances under a multiple access loan (“MAL”) during the term of the MAL. On July 11, 2022, in connection with the Loan Agreement, Zoned Arizona paid loan and other fees of $176,472, and in connection with the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement discussed below, paid additional fees of $8,124. These loan and other fees aggregating $184,596 were reflected as a debt discount and are being amortized ratably and charged to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

 

At any time before July 11, 2023, Zoned Arizona may elect to commence paying principal together with interest on the MAL (the “Early Amortization Election”) in accordance with the repayment terms set forth in the variable rate note initially evidencing the MAL, executed by Zoned Arizona in favor of the Bank (the “Note”). If Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election, then (i) Zoned Arizona will not be entitled to any further advances under the MAL, and (ii) the 25-year amortization schedule referenced in the Note will be from the date Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election.

 

The Loan Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. Among other things, the Loan Agreement provides as follows: (a) upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding principal balance of the MAL will not at any time exceed 65% of the Property’s most recent appraised value; (b) upon the occurrence of an event of default, Zoned Arizona will maintain a minimum Non-Cannabis Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) of 1.40 to 1.00; (c) Zoned Arizona will at all times maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.0; and (d) Zoned Arizona and the Company, collectively, will maintain at all times, liquid assets of at least the sum of all tenant securities deposits under leases, plus $350,000 in operating reserves.

 

On December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona and the Bank entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, Zoned Arizona has elected to make its Early Amortization Election (defined in the First Amendment and Loan Agreement), which election requires Zoned Arizona to commence paying principal and interest on the MAL as set forth in the Amended Note (defined below). Except as provided in the First Amendment, the terms of the Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and First Amendment, on December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona issued an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”) to the Bank. The Amended Note has an original principal amount of $4,500,000, a 50% loan-to-value as determined by the bank-ordered appraisal completed on the Tempe Property. The Amended Note requires Zoned Arizona to pay monthly principal and interest payments to the Bank at an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.75% (9.25% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023). The Amended Note matures 10 years after its effective date and payments are calculated based on a 30-year amortization schedule. In connection with the Amended Note, in 2022, Zoned Arizona received gross proceeds of $4,500,000 and paid fees of $184,596.

 

Zoned Arizona may prepay the outstanding principal under the Swap Note, at any time, subject to the provisions of the Swap Note.

 

Also as previously disclosed, on July 11, 2022 and pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company executed a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of the Bank, pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee all indebtedness of Zoned Arizona to the Bank arising under or in connection with the MAL or any of the loan documents. On December 7, 2022, the Company executed an Acknowledgement of Amendment and Reaffirmation of Guaranty (the “Reaffirmation”) in favor of the Bank. The Reaffirmation reaffirms the Guaranty and provides the Company’s consent to the First Amendment and Swap Note.

 

On December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona and the Bank entered into an Interest Rate Swap Transaction Confirmation (the “Confirmation”). The Confirmation incorporates by reference the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. as if the parties to the Confirmation executed such agreement in such form. The Confirmation provides the terms and conditions governing the interest rate swap transaction afforded to Zoned Arizona, including a fixed interest rate of 7.65%. The Company recorded the swap at fair value in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded contemporaneously in earnings. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate variability in interest payments on its variable-rate debt.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, amortization of debt discount amounted to $4,615 and $4,615, respectively, which is included in interest expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

(C) Equity incentive plans

 

On August 9, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The 2016 Plan was approved by shareholders on November 21, 2016. The 2016 Plan’s purpose is to encourage ownership in the Company by employees, officers, directors and consultants whose long-term service the Company considers essential to its continued progress and, thereby, encourage recipients to act in the stockholders’ interest and share in the Company’s success. The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of awards in the form of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, options that do not qualify (non-statutory stock options) and grants of restricted shares of common stock. Restricted shares granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan are amortized to expense over the vesting period. Options vest and expire over a period not to exceed seven years. If any share of common stock underlying a stock option that has been granted ceases to be subject to a stock option, or if any shares of common stock that are subject to any other stock-based award granted are forfeited or terminate, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the 2016 Plan. As of March 31, 2024, 1,012,500 stock option awards are outstanding and 646,250 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, 1,012,500 stock option awards are outstanding and 585,000 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 8,987,500 and 8,987,500 shares, respectively, were available for future issuance.

 

The Company also continues to maintain its 2014 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), pursuant to which 1,250,000 previously awarded stock options are outstanding. The 2014 Plan has been superseded by the 2016 Plan. Accordingly, no additional shares subject to the existing 2014 Plan will be issued and the 1,250,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options will be issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan, if exercised. As of March 31, 2024, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,225,000 options are exercisable pursuant to the 2014 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,225,000 options are exercisable pursuant to the 2014 Plan.

 

(D) Stock options

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in connection with the accretion of stock-based option expense, the Company recorded stock option expense over the vesting period of $116,643 and $336,755, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there were 2,262,500 options outstanding and 1,810,000 options vested and exercisable. As of December 31, 2023, there was $100,181 of unvested stock-based compensation expense to be recognized through September 2031. The aggregate intrinsic value on December 31, 2023 was $0 and was calculated based on the difference between the quoted share price on December 31, 2023 of $0.50 and the exercise price of the underlying options.

 

On October 1, 2023, the Company cancelled 90,000 non-vested stock options that were forfeited due to the resignation of an executive officer of the Company.

On February 23, 2024, ZPRE Holdings provided an approval notice to the Seller (as hereinafter defined) of the Surprise Property (as hereinafter defined), related to the Company’s intent to consummate the purchase of the Surprise Property, following notice from the City of Surprise that the Company had received final approvals of its cannabis entitlements, after satisfaction of the appeal period (the “Cannabis Approvals”), related to a use-permit for a cannabis retail dispensary to be developed at the Surprise Property. As used herein, the “Surprise Property” refers to that certain property commonly known as Bella Fiesta Pad B in Surprise, Arizona, which property is a certain tract or parcel of land containing approximately 1.114 acres, together with all improvements, buildings, leases, rights, easements, and appurtenances pertaining thereto. Previously, on January 23, 2023, ZPRE Holdings entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions, by and between NWC Dysart & Bell LLC (the “Seller”) and ZPRE Holdings as the buyer. Such agreement was subsequently amended on May 12, 2023, October 25, 2023, and December 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell to ZPRE Holdings, and ZPRE Holdings agreed to purchase, the Surprise Property in exchange for a purchase price of $1,100,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Seller also agreed to complete a number of on-site and off-site improvements to the Surprise Property (the “Seller’s Work”) in exchange for ZPRE Holdings’ reimbursement of up to $250,000 for the off-site work and reimbursement of up to $350,000 for the on-site work (collectively, the “Reimbursements”). The obligation to complete the Reimbursements is conditioned upon the closing of the sale of the Surprise Property to ZPRE Holdings. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ZPRE Holdings deposited the following amounts into escrow: (i) $50,000, for the initial earnest money deposit, and (ii) $47,500, for additional earnest money deposited related to extensions to the Agreement (collectively, the “Earnest Money”). The Earnest Money will be applied as a credit upon closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is subject to several conditions, including the successful receipt of the Cannabis Approvals, and the successful completion of the Seller’s Work. In addition, ZPRE Holdings has the right to conduct inspections on the Surprise Property. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, if, during the inspection period, ZPRE Holdings determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Surprise Property is not suitable for ZPRE Holdings’ purchase and use for any reason or no reason, ZPRE Holdings may terminate the Agreement.

NOTE 12 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY

 

On March 15, 2022, the Company entered to an Assumption of Lease and Consent Agreement with a landlord, whereby the landlord consented to the assignment of an office lease, as amended, from the original tenant to the Company. The lease term shall begin on March 15, 2022 and expire on November 30, 2024, provided the Company has the option to extend the lease for an additional five years. The monthly base rent shall be $2,932 per month through November 30, 2021, $3,005 from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023, and $3,078 from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024.

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, the Company had elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs (see Note 2). In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less. Since the terms of the Company’s operating lease for its office space prior to March 15, 2022 was 12 months or less on the date of adoption, pursuant to ASC 842, the Company determined that the lease met the definition of a short-term lease, and the Company did not recognize the right-of use asset and lease liability arising from this lease. Upon signing of the Assumption of Lease and Consent Agreement on March 15, 2022, the Company analyzed the new lease and determined it is required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheet, at fair value.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K as filed on March 26, 2024, as the same may be updated from time to time.

 

We caution that these factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

Zoned Properties, Inc. (“Zoned Properties” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2003. In October 2013, the Company changed its name to Zoned Properties, Inc. and in April 2014, the Company shifted its business model to address commercial real estate in the regulated cannabis industry. Zoned Properties is a technology-driven property investment company focused on acquiring value-add real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States. The Company aspires to innovate within the real estate development sector, focusing on direct-to-consumer real estate that is leased to the best-in-class cannabis retailers. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its standardized investment model backed by its proprietary property technology. Zoned Properties has developed a national ecosystem of real estate services to support its real estate development model, including a commercial real estate brokerage and a real estate advisory practice.

 

The Company operates in two organized segments; (1) the operations, leasing and management of its commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) the advisory, brokerage and technology services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company targets commercial properties that face unique zoning or development challenges, identifies solutions that can potentially have a major impact on their commercial value, and then works to acquire the properties while securing long-term, absolute-net leases. The Company does not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis or any substances regulated under United States law such as the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, as amended (the “CSA”).

 

The core of our business operations involves identifying, securing, acquiring, and leasing commercial properties that intend to operate within highly regulated industries, including the legalized cannabis industry. Within highly regulated industries, local municipalities typically develop strict regulations, including zoning and permitting requirements related to commercial real estate, that dictate the specific locations and parameters under which regulated properties can operate, including cannabis properties. We often refer to these requirements as cannabis approvals. These regulations often include complex permitting processes that require longer development timelines than traditional commercial real estate and can include non-standard codes governing each location; for example, restricting a regulated property or facility from operating within a certain distance of any parks, schools, churches, or residential districts, or restricting a regulated property from operating outside a defined set of hours of operation. When an organization can collaborate with local representatives, a proactive set of rules and regulations can be established and followed to meet the needs of both the regulated operators and the local community.

 

31

 

 

Due to the complex nature of the Company’s core business operations and target investment properties, the Company may secure dozens of potential property candidates for acquisition and prospective tenant candidates for leasing at any given time, all in the normal course of business. The process of securing a potential property candidate may include completing contractual agreements such as an option agreement or a purchase agreement, which may include various contingencies and conditions precedent related to the ultimate consummation of the acquisition, investment, or transaction. Simultaneously with the securing of potential property candidates, the Company will advertise and market a property to prospective tenant candidates for a long-term, absolute-net lease agreement, which may include various contingencies and conditions precedent related to the ultimate commencement of the lease and tenancy. In order to deliver a successful investment property transaction, the Company must collectively receive all cannabis approvals from state and local governing authorities that may be required at a given property, secure a qualified tenant to lease and operate the property, and complete the acquisition of the property.

 

The Company’s current investment properties are located in Arizona, Illinois, and Michigan with 100% occupancy and a weighted average lease term over 10 years. Each of the Company’s leased properties is occupied by a commercial cannabis tenant.

 

Zoned Properties maintains a portfolio of properties that it owns, develops and leases. As of March 2024, the Company leases land and/or building space at the six properties in its portfolio to licensed and regulated cannabis tenants in areas with established cannabis regulations and zoning procedures. Four of the leased properties are zoned and permitted as regulated cannabis retail dispensaries, and two of the leased properties are zoned and permitted as regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facilities. The Company considers the two cultivation sites in its portfolio as legacy properties, and may consider selling or leveraging those properties to unlock equity and create capital availability in the future. The Zoned Properties investment thesis has evolved over the years as the cannabis industry has emerged, and is currently focused on investing capital into direct-to-consumer properties, located in state-markets with robust cannabis consumer demand in the industry.

Results of Operations

 

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, which are included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results discussed below are for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

 

Revenues

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenues by reportable business segments were as follows: 

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2024   2023 
Revenues:        
Property investment portfolio  $691,292   $610,474 
Real estate services   145,760    77,550 
Total revenues  $837,052   $688,024 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total revenues amounted to $837,052, including property investment portfolio revenues $691,292, which consists of rental revenues, as compared to total revenues of $688,024, including rental revenues of $610,474, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an overall increase of $149,028, or 21.7%. This increase was attributable to an increase in rental revenues of $80,818, or 13.2%, and a net increase in real estate services revenues of $68,210, or 88.0%, attributable to an increase in commissions earned on real estate listings of $142,460, offset by a decrease in advisory services revenues of $74,250.

 

The increase in property investment portfolio revenues was primarily due to the signing of a new lease with a new tenant at our recently acquired property located in Chicago, Illinois which began in January 2024. All of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under absolute-net or triple-net leases with our tenants. Additionally, beginning in August 2023, we began receiving additional rental revenue of $3,500 per month in connection with a Sublease Agreement with CJK and a subtenant in connection with our Kingman property.

 

Operating expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating expenses amounted to $708,143 as compared to $711,410 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $3,267, or 0.5%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, operating expenses consisted of the following:

 

   Years Ended
December 31,
 
   2023   2022 
Compensation and benefits  $265,164   $345,495 
Professional fees   122,270    142,662 
Brokerage fees   103,330    - 
General and administrative expenses   78,776    78,923 
Depreciation and amortization   89,647    97,582 
Real estate taxes   27,356    31,748 
Business development costs   21,600    15,000 
Total  $708,143   $711,410 

 

33

 

 

  For the three months ended March 31, 2024, compensation and benefit expense decreased by $80,331, or 23.2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $26,768 related to a decrease in accretion of stock option expense, a decrease in health insurance expense of $16,386, and a decrease in other compensation and benefits of $37,177.
     
  For the three months ended March 31, 2024, professional fees decreased by $20,392, or 14.3%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in public relations fees of $20,080.
     
  For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded brokerage fees amounting to $103,330 and $0, respectively, representing an increase of $103,350, or 100.0%. Brokerage fees occur as the result of various percentage-based commission splits we pay to our licensed brokerage team members who participate in various real estate listing transactions.
     
  General and administrative expenses consist of expenses such as rent expense, insurance expense, insurance expense, travel expenses, office expenses, telephone and internet expenses, advertising and marketing expense, and other general operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $147, or 0.20%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

  For the three months ended March 31, 2024, depreciation expense decreased by $7,935, or 8.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
     
  For the three months ended March 31, 2024, real estate taxes decreased by $4,392, or 13.8%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
     
  For the three months ended March 31, 2024, business development costs increased by $6,600, or 44.0%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was attributable to an increase in costs related to forfeited escrow deposits and the write off of costs related to projects which we decided not to pursue.

 

Income (loss) from operations

 

As a result of the factors described above, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, income from operations amounted to $128,909 as compared to a loss from operations of $(23,386) for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a positive change of $152,295, or 651.23%.

 

Other (expenses) income, net

 

Other (expense) income primarily includes interest expense incurred on debt with third parties and a related party and also includes other income (expense). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total other expenses, net amounted to $32,436 as compared to total other expenses, net of $284,793, respectively, representing a decrease of $252,357, or 88.6%. This decrease was attributable to an increase in interest expense of $3,539 primarily related to an increase in notes payable, offset by an increase in income in fair value from an interest rate swap of $255,896.

 

Equity method loss

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred an equity method loss of $0 and $1,469, respectively, a decrease of $1,469, or 100.0%.

 

Net income (loss)

 

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, net income (loss) amounted to $96,473, or $0.01 per common share (basic and diluted), and $(309,648), or $(0.03) per common share (basic and diluted), respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had cash of $1,519,903 and $3,099,795 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

34

 

 

Our primary uses of cash have been for the acquisition of new property investments, compensation and benefits, fees paid to third parties for professional services, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses, and the development of rental properties and other lines of business. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business. We receive funds from the collection of rental income, and real estate services, which primarily includes advisory fees and brokerage fees. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in changes in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

  An increase in working capital requirements to finance our current business,
     
  Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
     
  The cost of being a public company,
     
  An increase in investments in joint ventures and other projects, and
     
  An increase in investments in rental properties.

 

We may need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to continue to generate positive cash flows from our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations for the next 12 months from the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Other than revenue received from the lease of our rental properties and real estate services, and from a bank note, we presently have no other significant alternative source of working capital.

 

We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, acquire and develop rental properties, invest in joint ventures and notes receivable, and to grow our company. We may need to raise significant additional capital or debt financing to acquire new properties, to develop existing properties, to assure we have sufficient working capital for our ongoing operations and debt obligations, and to invest in new joint venture and other projects.

 

East West Bank Swap and Amended Note

 

On December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona and the Bank entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, Zoned Arizona has elected to make its Early Amortization Election (defined in the First Amendment and Loan Agreement), which election requires Zoned Arizona to commence paying principal and interest on the MAL as set forth in the Amended Note (defined below). Except as provided in the First Amendment, the terms of the Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and First Amendment, on December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona issued an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”) to the Bank. The Amended Note has an original principal amount of $4,500,000, a 50% loan-to-value as determined by the bank-ordered appraisal completed on the Tempe Property. The Amended Note requires Zoned Arizona to pay monthly principal and interest payments to the Bank at an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.75% (9.25% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023). The Amended Note matures 10 years after its effective date and payments are calculated based on a 30-year amortization schedule. In connection with the Amended Note, in 2022, Zoned Arizona received gross proceeds of $4,500,000 and paid fees of $184,596.

 

Zoned Arizona may prepay the outstanding principal under the Swap Note, at any time, subject to the provisions of the Swap Note.

 

Also as previously disclosed, on July 11, 2022 and pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company executed a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of the Bank, pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee all indebtedness of Zoned Arizona to the Bank arising under or in connection with the MAL or any of the loan documents. On December 7, 2022, the Company executed an Acknowledgement of Amendment and Reaffirmation of Guaranty (the “Reaffirmation”) in favor of the Bank. The Reaffirmation reaffirms the Guaranty and provides the Company’s consent to the First Amendment and Swap Note.

 

On December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona and the Bank entered into an Interest Rate Swap Transaction Confirmation (the “Confirmation”). The Confirmation incorporates by reference the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. as if the parties to the Confirmation executed such agreement in such form. The Confirmation provides the terms and conditions governing the interest rate swap transaction afforded to Zoned Arizona, including a fixed interest rate of 7.65%. The Company recorded the swap at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded contemporaneously in earnings. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate variability in interest payments on its variable-rate debt.

 

35

 

 

On March 31, 2024, principal and interest due on the East West Bank Swap Note amounted to $4,436,449 and $7,520, respectively. On December 31, 2023, principal and interest due on the East West Bank Swap Note amounted to $4,447,068 and $8,861, respectively.

 

23616 Land Contract Note Payable

 

On December 5, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of the Woodward Property located in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan, the Company entered into a land contract note in the amount of $1,425,000 (the “Woodward Property Note Payable”). The Woodward Property Note Payable bears interest at 9% per annum and is due in full as follows:

 

  1) 60 monthly payments of principal and interest of $12,821 beginning on January 1, 2023, and
     
  2) A balloon payment of $1,274,117 including the remaining principal and interest on or before December 1, 2028.

 

On March 31, 2024, principal and interest due on the 23616 Land Contract Note Payable amounted to $1,402,071 and $0, On December 31, 2023, principal and interest due on the 23616 Land Contract Note Payable amounted to $1,408,962 and $0, respectively.

 

23634 Land Contract Note Payable

 

On February 24, 2023, in connection with the 23634 Land Contract dated February 24, 2023 (see Note 4), the Company entered into a land contract note payable of $430,000 (the “23634 Land Contract Note Payable”). The 23634 Land Contract Note Payable accrues interest at the rate of 7% and is payable in 48 monthly installments of $3,865, beginning April 1, 2023, until the purchase price and interest are fully paid, provided that such purchase price and all interest will be fully paid on or before March 31, 2027. On March 31, 2024, principal and interest due on the 23634 Land Contract Note Payable amounted to $415,986 and $0, respectively. On December 31, 2023, principal and interest due on the 23634 Land Contract Note Payable amounted to $420,270 and $0, respectively.

 

Our future operations are dependent on our ability to manage our current cash balance, on the collection of rental and real estate services revenues and the attainment of new advisory and brokerage clients. Our real estate properties are leased to Significant Tenants and other tenants under triple-net leases for which terms vary. We monitor the credit of these tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. We monitor tenant credit by (1) reviewing financial statements and related metrics and information that are publicly available or that are provided to us upon request, and (2) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an asset concentration related to our Significant Tenant leases. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2023, these Significant Tenants represented approximately 73.6% and 69.4% of total assets, respectively. If our Significant Tenants are prohibited from operating due to federal or state regulations or due to COVID-19, or cannot pay their rent, we may not have enough working capital to support our operations and we would have to seek out new tenants at rental rates per square less than our current rate per square foot.

 

We may secure additional financing to acquire and develop additional and existing properties. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow our business operations.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

 

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

 

   Payments Due by Period 
Contractual obligations:  Total   Less than
1 year
   1-3 years   3-5 years   5 + years 
Convertible notes  $2,000   $-   $-   $-   $2,000 
Interest on convertible notes   730    150    240    240    100 
Notes payable   6,254    114    582    1,445    4,115 
Total  $8,984   $264   $822   $1,683   $6,215 

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than discussed below, we have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. Our off-balance sheet arrangement includes the notional amount of our interest rate swaps which we use to hedge a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Currently, our interest rate swap fixes the variable rate interest on our bank swap note payable. We intend to fund our interest rate swap payments utilizing cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2024, the notional amount of our interest rate swaps was $4,450,642. In interest rate swaps, the notional amount is the specified value upon which interest rate payments will be exchanged. The notional amount in interest rate swaps is used to come up with the amount of interest due.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including the critical ones related to an interest rate swap, the allowance for accounts receivable, impairment of rental properties, the valuation of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Interest rate swap

 

In connection with a bank loan executed in 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk related to debt that accrues interest at variable rates. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreement in accordance with the guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. Interest payments receivable and payable under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement are accrued over the period to which the payment relates and the net difference is treated as an adjustment of interest expense related to the underlying liability. Because the variable interest rates used to calculate payments under the terms of the swap agreement are calculated using different benchmarks than those included in the Company’s variable rate debt agreement, the swap agreement is not considered an effective cash flow hedge.

 

Accordingly, changes in the underlying market value of the remaining swap payments are recognized into income as an increase or decrease to other income (expense) each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company believes values provided by its counterparty represent the fair value of its swap agreement. The Company believes that the quality of the counterparty to its swap agreement mitigates the counterparty credit risk.

 

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is reflected as a derivative liability on the accompanying balance sheet with changes in the fair value reflected in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage interest rate risks and not as investment vehicles.

 

Information regarding the interest rate swap is as follows:

 

Description  Notional

   Interest

December 7, 2022 interest rate swap  $4,450,642    7.65%  December 10, 2032  $2,724   $122,879 

 

Accounts receivable and notes receivable

 

We recognize an allowance for losses on accounts receivable and notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts and notes receivable considered at risk or uncollectible. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.

 

Rental properties

 

Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 39 years. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

 

38

 

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

 

Our properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results.

 

Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of our rental properties exceeds its recoverable amount. For our rental property, we considered the recoverable amount to be the respective properties fair value less costs to sell (FVLCS) plus its value in use (VIU). The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell (FVLCS) and its value in use (VIU). FVLCS and VIU as defined as follows:

 

Fair Value Less Costs to Sell (FVLCS):

 

Fair value is typically determined by market prices or appraisals or tax value.

 

Subtract any costs that would be incurred to sell the asset (like commissions).

 

Value in Use (VIU):

 

This is the present value of the future cash flows the asset is expected to generate.

 

Cash flows should be based on leases in place.

 

We have capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.

 

Investment in joint ventures

 

We have equity investments in various privately held entities. We account for these investments either under the equity method or cost method of accounting depending on our ownership interest and level of influence. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded based upon the amount of our investment and adjusted each period for our share of the investee’s income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable. We evaluate our investments in these entities for consolidation. We consider our percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under either the equity method of accounting. If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, our investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective joint venture and our share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities.

 

39

 

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation –Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex accounting and financial reporting issues, (2) we had not implemented adequate system and manual controls, and (3) a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems. Until such time as we expand our staff to include additional accounting personnel and hire a full-time chief financial officer, it is likely we will continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

In October 2013, the Company changed its name to Zoned Properties, Inc. and in April 2014, the Company shifted its business model to address commercial real estate in the regulated cannabis industry. Zoned Properties is a technology-driven property investment company focused on acquiring value-add real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States. The Company aspires to innovate within the real estate development sector, focusing on direct-to-consumer real estate that is leased to the best-in-class cannabis retailers. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its standardized investment model backed by its proprietary property technology. Zoned Properties has developed a national ecosystem of real estate services to support its real estate development model, including a commercial real estate brokerage and a real estate advisory practice.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Mar. 31, 2024
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2024.

 

Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company generated net income of $96,473 and cash provided by operations of $207,218 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $1,519,903 and stockholders’ equity of $5,352,650.

 

The cash balance and positive net cash provided by operating activities serves to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the Company has sufficient cash and positive cash flows to meet its obligations for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this filing.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of investment in equity securities, the useful life of rental properties and property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets including rental property and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of derivative asset or liability related to interest rate swap, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, including options and stock-based compensation.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business in states that have legalized and regulated cannabis. Additionally, the Company’s tenants operate in the state-legalized and state-regulated cannabis industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the state markets in which the Company operates or any changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws or changes in state laws could potentially have a negative effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, substantially all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net leases to tenants (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant Tenants”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenues associated with Significant Tenants amounted to $596,707 and $592,848, respectively, which represents 71.3% and 86.1% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3).

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, capitalized permit costs, escrow deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

 

The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

  Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

Other than the interest rate swap, the Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value, on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

 

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy of its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Description  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Interest rate swap asset (liability)  $
   $2,724   $
   $
   $(122,879)  $ 

 

Interest rate swap

 

In connection with a bank loan executed in 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk related to debt that accrues interest at variable rates. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreement in accordance with the guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. Interest payments receivable and payable under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement are accrued over the period to which the payment relates and the net difference is treated as an adjustment of interest expense related to the underlying liability. Because the variable interest rates used to calculate payments under the terms of the swap agreement are calculated using different benchmarks than those included in the Company’s variable rate debt agreement, the swap agreement is not considered an effective cash flow hedge.

 

Accordingly, changes in the underlying market value of the remaining swap payments are recognized into income as an increase or decrease to other income (expense) each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company believes values provided by East West Bank (the “Counterparty”) represent the fair value of its swap agreement. The Company believes that the quality of the Counterparty to its swap agreement mitigates the Counterparty credit risk.

 

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is determined by the Counterparty based on market data used by Counterparty and is reflected as a derivative asset or liability on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value reflected in change in fair value of interest rate swap on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage interest rate risks and not as investment vehicles.

Cash

 

Cash is carried at cost and represents cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. The Company had no cash equivalents on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s cash is held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $993,000 and $2,555,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Accounts receivable

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.

 

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

 

The Company has equity investments in various privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments either under the equity method or cost method of accounting depending on the Company’s ownership interest and level of influence. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded based upon the amount of the Company’s investment and adjusted each period for its share of the investee’s income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its investments in these entities for consolidation. It considers its percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

 

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective joint venture and the Company’s share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities.

 

Long-term investments

 

Long-term investments include investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence and are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments is less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in non-operating income (loss). On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, long-term investments consisted of an investment in convertible preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value (see Note 5).

 

Rental properties

 

Rental properties are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 39 years. Tenant improvements paid for by the Company are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocates the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

 

The Company’s rental properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared.

 

If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

 

The Company has land which is not subject to depreciation.

 

Escrow deposits

 

The Company is in the business of pursuing real estate acquisitions and investments that may include various contractual instruments to secure a property, such as an Option Agreement or a Purchase and Sale Agreement. These agreements often include the requirement to make escrow deposits. Escrow deposits include cash deposits made by the Company for the future acquisition of properties or for the option to acquire a property. In most cases, upon closing of the acquisition of a property, the escrow deposit will be applied to the purchase price. In some cases, the Company may discontinue pursuit of an acquisition of a property and therefore terminate an existing agreement, which can cause forfeiture of escrow deposits if those deposits are non-refundable. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company forfeited escrow deposits of $21,600 and $15,000, respectively, which is reflected in operating expenses as part of property portfolio business development costs on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, escrow deposits amounted to $278,716 and $177,048, respectively.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The Company uses a five-year life for office equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures, and five to ten years for vehicles. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.

 

The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Property Investment Portfolio Revenues

 

Rental income is accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 842 “Leases” and includes base rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of rent abatements under the leases. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

 

Currently, the Company’s leases provide for payments with fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases or annual percentage increases in base rent over the term of the lease. The leases also require the tenant to remit estimated monthly payments to the Company for property taxes and common area maintenance. These payments are recorded as rental income and the related property tax expense is reflected separately on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

 

Real Estate Services Revenues

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), except for revenues from lease contracts within the scope of ASC 842, which are excluded from ASC 606. This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and requires certain additional disclosures. 

 

Revenues from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with clients and collectability is probable.

 

Brokerage revenues primarily consist of real estate sales commissions and are recognized upon the successful completion of all required services which is likely to occur upon a lease commencement, when escrow closes on the sale of a property, or as otherwise negotiated between the Brokerage and its clients. In accordance with the guidelines established for reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent in ASC Topic 606, the Company records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in ASC Topic 606, the Company is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service, has credit risk, and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications. Brokerage revenues that are payable upon payment of rent or other events beyond the Company’s control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.

 

Contract liabilities

 

Contract liabilities include advisory fees received in advance that are deferred and recognized when the services are complete or over the actual or expected contract term, rental revenue received in advance, and other deferred revenue for when the Company receives consideration from an agreement before certain criteria have been met for revenue to be recognized in conformity with GAAP. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, contract liabilities activities were as follows:

Lease accounting

 

The FASB’s ASC Topic 842, “Leases” sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

 

For leases entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessor, at the inception of the contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease by reviewing the terms of the lease and determining if the lessee obtains control of the underlying asset implicitly or explicitly. If a change to a pre-existing lease occurs, the Company evaluates if the modification results in a separate new lease or a modified lease. A new lease results when a modification provides additional right of use. The new lease or modified lease is then reassessed to determine its classification based on the modified terms. As disclosed in Note 3, on January 24, 2022 and effective on March 1, 2022, the Chino Valley lease was amended and the monthly base rent was increased to $87,581 due to additional space of 30,000 square feet being leased to the lessee, increasing the premises to a total of 97,312 square feet of operational space. In connection with this lease amendment, the Company paid $500,000 to the tenant as a tenant improvement allowance or lease incentive for investment into the premises, which was capitalized as a lease incentive receivable and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term as a reduction to the lease income. The increase in monthly rent was commensurate with the additional space being leased; therefore, this modification qualifies as a separate contract under ASC 842 which does not require lease classification reassessment. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12-months or less as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-lines basis over the lease term.

 

The Company records revenues from rental properties for its operating leases where it is the lessor on a straight-line basis. Any revenue on the straight-line basis exceeding the monthly payment amount required on the operating lease is reflected as deferred rent. In 2020, the Company amended its leases for which it is the lessor on its Chino Valley, Tempe, Kingman and Green Valley properties. The amendments resulted in an abatement of rent for the months of June and July 2020. Additionally, in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Michigan property acquired in December 2022, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from December 2022 to March 2023, and in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Chicago property acquired in January 2024, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from January 2024 to August 2024. These rent abatements and the effect of recording rent on a straight-line basis resulted in aggregate deferred rent as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $459,520 and $371,472, respectively (see Note 3). Additionally, if the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

 

For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessee, at the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. For leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s administrative office lease, the Company analyzed if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASC 842.

 

Operating lease right of use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate of 6% based on the information available at the adoption date or execution of a lease agreement in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

 

Basic and diluted loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive common shares and participating securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses. The Company’s preferred stock is considered a participating security since the preferred shares are entitled to dividends equal to common share dividends and accordingly, are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing (loss) income per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines (loss) income per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

Segment reporting

 

The Company operates in two reportable segments which consist of (1) the operations, leasing and management of its leased commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company has determined that these reportable segments were strategic business units that offered different products. Currently, these reportable segments are being managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

 

Income tax

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In addition, under the Tempe Amendment the parties agreed to an Investment by Tenant (as defined above in the subheading Chino Valley) to the property that is the subject of the Chino Valley Lease and the property that is the subject of the Tempe Lease. If Broken Arrow and/or CJK fails to deliver to the Company receipted bills for hard and soft costs of improvements to the Facilities totaling at least $8,000,000 on or before June 30, 2022, Broken Arrow and CJK will be in default under the Chino Valley Lease and Tempe Lease, as amended. The Company’s Significant Tenants have completed the Investment by Tenants to the Facilities totaling in excess of $8,000,000 and have satisfied the contractual obligations related to the same.

 

In connection with a promissory note (See Note 8), on July 11, 2022 and reaffirmed on December 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Deed of Trust Agreement that secures the Company’s performance under the promissory note. The Deed of Trust Agreement transfers and assigns to the lender the right to sell the assets of Tempe and rights to rental income in case of default under the promissory note.

 

On November 30, 2022, Zoned Arizona, CJK, and VSM entered into that Second Amendment (the “Tempe Second Amendment”) to the Tempe Lease, as amended. Concurrently with the execution of the Tempe Second Amendment: (i) CJK assigned all its interest in the Tempe Lease to VSM (the “Assignment”), and (ii) VSM subleased a portion of the Premises (as defined in the Tempe Lease), pursuant to that certain Sublease dated November 30, 2022 between VSM, as sublessor, and CJK, as sublessee.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Tempe Second Amendment, among other things, and in consideration of Zoned Arizona’s agreement to enter into the Tempe Second Amendment: (i) VSM paid Zoned Arizona $300,000 (the “Assignment Fee”), (ii) VSM agreed to commit at least $3,000,000 to be spent toward capital improvements to the Premises within two years after the effective date of the Tempe Second Amendment (the “Capital Commitment”), (iii) VSM agreed to deposit an additional security deposit (the “Additional Security Deposit”) of $147,600 to be held by Zoned Arizona per the terms of the Tempe Lease, and (iv) VSM agreed to cause its affiliate, GDL Inc. (doing business as Green Dot Labs) (“GDL”) to execute and deliver to Zoned Arizona that Guaranty of Payment and Performance dated on the same date as the Tempe Amendment, which Guaranty of Payment and Performance requires GDL to guarantee and be liable for VSM’s compliance with and performance under the Tempe Lease. The Guaranty of Payment and Performance was entered into on November 30, 2022. If VSM fails to deliver to Zoned Arizona invoices or other documentation acceptable to Zoned Arizona showing the Capital Commitment has been satisfied in a timely manner, VSM will be in default under the Tempe Lease. No other terms of the Tempe Lease were modified. Therefore, the Company’s accounting for the lease remained unchanged subsequent to the Tempe Second Amendment and Assignment.

 

Pursuant to ASC 842-10-25, the lease modification was not accounted for as a separate contract and the Company shall account for the modification as if it were a termination of the existing lease and the creation of a new lease that commenced on the effective date of the modification. Accordingly, the Company recorded the $300,000 as a contract liability and will amortize the $300,000 Assignment Fees into rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease through April 2040. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liability related to this lease modification amounted to $277,033 and $281,340, respectively, which has been included in contract liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. 

 

Additionally, on the Tempe property, the Company leases parking lot space for an antenna location to a third party.

Asset concentration

 

The Company’s real estate properties are leased to Significant Tenants under absolute-net and triple-net leases that terminate through March 2037 and April 2040, respectively. The Company monitors the credit of all tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. The Company monitors tenant credit by (1) reviewing financial statements and related metrics and information that are publicly available or that are provided to us upon request, and (2) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an asset concentration related to the Significant Tenants. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Significant Tenants collectively leased approximately 73.6% and 69.4% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. Through March 31, 2024, all rental payments have been made on a timely basis.

 

Industry risk

 

Downturns relating to certain industries or business sectors or the financial stability of the Company’s significant tenants may have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s assets and its ability to pay its operating expenses or pay dividends than if the Company had a diversified property portfolio and service offerings. The Company’s total assets are concentrated into a limited number of tenants who were considered significant tenants. To the extent that the Company’s total assets are concentrated in a limited number of tenants that are in the regulated cannabis industry, downturns relating generally to such industry or business sector, or a decline in the financial stability of the Company’s Significant Tenants may result in defaults on all of the Company’s leases within a short time period, which may reduce the Company’s net income and the value of the Company’s common stock and accordingly, limit the Company’s ability to pay our operating expenses or pay dividends to its stockholders. If the Company’s tenants are prohibited from operating or cannot pay their rent, the Company may not have enough working capital to support its operations and the Company would need to consider seeking out new tenants at rental rates per square foot that may be less than its current rate per square foot.

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

 

On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held investments with aggregate carrying values of $4,923 and $4,923, respectively. The entities listed below are partially owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise financial and operating control over these entities. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where the Company’s investment may not be recoverable. A summary of the Company’s original investments in the unconsolidated affiliated entities and net carrying value amount is as follows:

Total investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities          $176,000   $4,923   $4,923 

 

On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement”) with a non-affiliated joint venture partner in connection with the formation of Zoneomics Green, LLC (“Zoneomics Green”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 1, 2021. Zoneomics Green’s goal is to utilize advanced property technology to provide solutions for property identification in regulated industries such as regulated cannabis. Pursuant to the Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement, the Company purchased 50 units of Zoneomics Green for a capital contribution of $90,000, which represents 50% of the membership interests of Zoneomics Green and the other joint venture partner received 50% of the membership interests for the contribution of its intellectual property and a number of non-monetary contributions. identified in the Zoneomics Green Operation Agreement but provided no capital contributions. Each unit represents, with respect to any member, such member’s: (i) interest in Zoneomics Green’s capital, (ii) share of Zoneomics Green’s net profits and net losses (and specially allocated items of income, gain, and deduction), and the right to receive distributions of net cash flow from Zoneomics Green, (iii) right to inspect Zoneomics Green’s books and records, and (iv) right to participate in the management of and vote on matters coming before the members as provided in the Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement. The transactions discussed above resulted in a joint venture, in accordance with ASC 323-10 – Investments- Equity and Joint Ventures, between the Company and the non-affiliated party. Each of the entities has 50% equity ownership and voting rights, and joint control in Zoneomics Green. In June 2021, the Company contributed $90,000 to Zoneomics Green. Currently, the Zoneomics Green team has completed the creation of the foundational design, technology platform, and market positioning for Zoneomics Green to launch in the cannabis industry. However, in order to successfully launch, the technology platform relies upon a required merchant banking component. While Company management knew this risk was a major factor going into the investment, it was not foreseen exactly when an appropriate merchant banking solution would be available given the federal status of regulated cannabis and specifically the federal banking status as it relates to regulated cannabis, even for ancillary services such as Zoneomics Green. The regulatory status related to cannabis banking reform and regulation at the federal level, which the Zoneomics platform relies upon, is uncertain and the Company believes it is appropriate to cause an impairment of the Zoneomics Green investment at this time, while also understanding that Company believes Zoneomics Green may still create material value for the Company in the future. Additionally, the Company is using the Zoneomics Green technology within its own business to generate leads for new projects. The Company has no further financial or investment obligations at this time. Accordingly, on December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $45,000 because it was determined that the fair value of its equity method investment in Zoneomics was less than its carrying value. Based on management’s evaluation, it was determined that due to market and regulatory conditions, implementing the Company’s business model was at risk and that the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment in Zoneomics was impaired.

 

The following represents summarized financial information derived from the financial statements of the Zoneomics Green Joint Venture, as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Investment in equity securities

 

On June 24, 2022, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ZP Data Platform 2 LLC, purchased 875 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of Anami Technology, Inc., a California corporation, for $50,000, or $57.14 per share. The Company’s ownership percentage is less than 20% and it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence as described in ASC 323-10-15-6. This equity instrument does not have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, the Company elected to measure this equity security at its cost minus impairment, if any. If the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, the Company shall measure the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. If the Company subsequently elects to measure this equity security at fair value, the Company shall measure all identical or similar investments of the same issuer, including future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer, at fair value. The election to measure this equity security at fair value shall be irrevocable. Any resulting gains or losses on the securities for which that election is made shall be recorded in earnings at the time of the election. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, investment in equity securities amounted to $50,000.

East West Bank Swap note

 

On July 11, 2022, Zoned Arizona entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated as of July 11, 2022, by and between Zoned Arizona and East West Bank (the “Bank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, subject to and upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Zoned Arizona could request advances under a multiple access loan (“MAL”) during the term of the MAL. On July 11, 2022, in connection with the Loan Agreement, Zoned Arizona paid loan and other fees of $176,472, and in connection with the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement discussed below, paid additional fees of $8,124. These loan and other fees aggregating $184,596 were reflected as a debt discount and are being amortized ratably and charged to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

 

At any time before July 11, 2023, Zoned Arizona may elect to commence paying principal together with interest on the MAL (the “Early Amortization Election”) in accordance with the repayment terms set forth in the variable rate note initially evidencing the MAL, executed by Zoned Arizona in favor of the Bank (the “Note”). If Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election, then (i) Zoned Arizona will not be entitled to any further advances under the MAL, and (ii) the 25-year amortization schedule referenced in the Note will be from the date Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election.

 

The Loan Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. Among other things, the Loan Agreement provides as follows: (a) upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding principal balance of the MAL will not at any time exceed 65% of the Property’s most recent appraised value; (b) upon the occurrence of an event of default, Zoned Arizona will maintain a minimum Non-Cannabis Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined) of 1.40 to 1.00; (c) Zoned Arizona will at all times maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.0; and (d) Zoned Arizona and the Company, collectively, will maintain at all times, liquid assets of at least the sum of all tenant securities deposits under leases, plus $350,000 in operating reserves.

 

On December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona and the Bank entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, Zoned Arizona has elected to make its Early Amortization Election (defined in the First Amendment and Loan Agreement), which election requires Zoned Arizona to commence paying principal and interest on the MAL as set forth in the Amended Note (defined below). Except as provided in the First Amendment, the terms of the Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and First Amendment, on December 7, 2022, Zoned Arizona issued an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”) to the Bank. The Amended Note has an original principal amount of $4,500,000, a 50% loan-to-value as determined by the bank-ordered appraisal completed on the Tempe Property. The Amended Note requires Zoned Arizona to pay monthly principal and interest payments to the Bank at an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.75% (9.25% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023). The Amended Note matures 10 years after its effective date and payments are calculated based on a 30-year amortization schedule.

The preferred stock is not convertible into any other class or series of stock. The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to fifty (50) votes for each share held. Voting rights are not subject to adjustment for splits that increase or decrease the common shares outstanding. Upon liquidation, the holders of the shares will be entitled to receive $1.00 per share plus redemption provision before assets distributed to other shareholders. The holders of the shares are entitled to dividends equal to common share dividends. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding.

  b. Create any new class of stock having preferences over the Preferred Stock.

(C) Equity incentive plans

 

On August 9, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The 2016 Plan was approved by shareholders on November 21, 2016. The 2016 Plan’s purpose is to encourage ownership in the Company by employees, officers, directors and consultants whose long-term service the Company considers essential to its continued progress and, thereby, encourage recipients to act in the stockholders’ interest and share in the Company’s success. The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of awards in the form of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, options that do not qualify (non-statutory stock options) and grants of restricted shares of common stock. Restricted shares granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan are amortized to expense over the vesting period. Options vest and expire over a period not to exceed seven years. If any share of common stock underlying a stock option that has been granted ceases to be subject to a stock option, or if any shares of common stock that are subject to any other stock-based award granted are forfeited or terminate, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the 2016 Plan. As of March 31, 2024, 1,012,500 stock option awards are outstanding and 646,250 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, 1,012,500 stock option awards are outstanding and 585,000 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 8,987,500 and 8,987,500 shares, respectively, were available for future issuance.

 

The Company also continues to maintain its 2014 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), pursuant to which 1,250,000 previously awarded stock options are outstanding. The 2014 Plan has been superseded by the 2016 Plan. Accordingly, no additional shares subject to the existing 2014 Plan will be issued and the 1,250,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options will be issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan, if exercised. As of March 31, 2024, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,225,000 options are exercisable pursuant to the 2014 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,225,000 options are exercisable pursuant to the 2014 Plan.

 

(D) Stock options

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in connection with the accretion of stock-based option expense, the Company recorded stock option expense over the vesting period of $116,643 and $336,755, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there were 2,262,500 options outstanding and 1,810,000 options vested and exercisable. As of December 31, 2023, there was $100,181 of unvested stock-based compensation expense to be recognized through September 2031.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Employment Agreement, the Company agreed to continue to pay Mr. McLaren his then-current base annual salary of $215,000, and to award Mr. McLaren with an annual and/or quarterly bonus payable in either cash and/or equity of no less than 2% of the Company’s net income for the associated period.

  (ii) immediately, if Mr. McLaren receives benefits under the long-term disability insurance coverage then provided by the Company or, if no such insurance is in effect, upon Mr. McLaren’s disability;
     
  (iii) on the expiration date, as the same may be extended by the parties by written amendment to the 2018 Employment Agreement prior to the occasion thereof;

  (vii)  by Mr. McLaren at any time without Good Reason, upon not less than three months’ prior written notice to the Company.

 

In the event of a Termination for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, or upon the expiration date of the 2018 Employment Agreement, whichever comes first, all rights and obligations under the 2018 Employment Agreement shall cease (i) as to the Company, except for the Company’s obligations for the payment of applicable severance benefits thereunder, and for indemnification thereunder, and (ii) as to Mr. McLaren, except for his obligation under the restrictive covenants in the 2018 Employment Agreement.

  (d) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom Mr. McLaren is required to report, including a requirement that Mr. McLaren report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board;

 

  (e) a material diminution in the budget over which Mr. McLaren retains authority;

 

  (f) a material breach under any agreement with the Company to continue in effect any bonus to which Mr. McLaren was entitled, or any compensation plan in which Mr. McLaren participates immediately prior to the change in control of the Company which is material to Mr. McLaren’s total compensation;
     
  (g) a material breach under any agreement with the Company to provide Mr. McLaren benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by him under any of the Company’s life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which he was participating at the time of the change in control of the Company, the failure to continue to provide Mr. McLaren with a Company automobile or allowance in lieu of it, if Mr. McLaren was provided with such an automobile or allowance in lieu of it at the time of the change of control of the Company, the taking of any action by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive him of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by him at the time of the change in control of the Company, or the failure by the Company to provide him with the number of paid vacation days to which he is entitled on the basis of years of service with the Company in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect at the time of the change in control of the Company;

 

Following a change in control of the Company, upon termination of Mr. McLaren’s employment or during a period of disability, Mr. McLaren will be entitled to the following benefits:

 

(i)During any period that he fails to perform his full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Mr. McLaren will continue to receive his base salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all amounts payable to him under any compensation plan of the Company during such period, until the Golden Parachute Agreement is terminated.

 

(ii)If Mr. McLaren’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Mr. McLaren other than for Good Reason, disability, death or retirement, the Company will pay Mr. McLaren his full base salary through the date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts and benefits to which he is entitled under any compensation plan of the Company at the time such payments are due.

c.The Company will pay to Mr. McLaren any deferred compensation allocated or credited to him or his account as of the date of Termination.

 

  d. In lieu of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, if any, granted to Mr. McLaren under the Company’s stock option plans (which options shall be cancelled upon the making of the payment referred to below), Mr. McLaren will receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess of the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on or nearest the date of Termination (or, if not so reported, on the basis of the average of the lowest asked and highest bid prices on or nearest the date of Termination), over the per share exercise price of each option held by Mr. McLaren (whether or not then fully exercisable) plus the amount of any applicable cash appreciation rights, times (ii) the number of the Company’s common stock covered by each such option.

 

  e. The Company will also pay to Mr. McLaren all legal fees and expenses incurred by him as a result of such Termination.

OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY

NOTE 12 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY

 

On March 15, 2022, the Company entered to an Assumption of Lease and Consent Agreement with a landlord, whereby the landlord consented to the assignment of an office lease, as amended, from the original tenant to the Company. The lease term shall begin on March 15, 2022 and expire on November 30, 2024, provided the Company has the option to extend the lease for an additional five years. The monthly base rent shall be $2,932 per month through November 30, 2021, $3,005 from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023, and $3,078 from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024.

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, the Company had elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs (see Note 2). In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less. Since the terms of the Company’s operating lease for its office space prior to March 15, 2022 was 12 months or less on the date of adoption, pursuant to ASC 842, the Company determined that the lease met the definition of a short-term lease, and the Company did not recognize the right-of use asset and lease liability arising from this lease. Upon signing of the Assumption of Lease and Consent Agreement on March 15, 2022, the Company analyzed the new lease and determined it is required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheet, at fair value.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, in connection with its operating leases, the Company recorded rent expense of $9,264 and $9,259, respectively, which is included in operating expenses on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

 

The significant assumption used to determine the present value of the lease liability in March 2022 was a discount rate of 6% which was based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, right-of-use asset (“ROU”) is summarized as follows:

 

   March 31,
2024
   December 31,
2023
 
Office lease right of use asset  $90,710   $90,710 
Less: accumulated amortization   (67,104)   (58,497)
Balance of ROU assets  $23,606   $32,213 

 

On March 31, 2024, future minimum base lease payments due under a non-cancelable operating lease are as follows:

 

Year ended March 31,  Amount 
2025  $24,626 
Total minimum non-cancelable operating lease payments   24,626 
Less: discount to fair value   (545)
Total lease liability on March 31, 2024  $24,081

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On May 1, 2024, ZP Woodward and Rapid Fish, LLC (the “Parties”), with individual Guarantors, Thomas Nafso and Ammar Kattoula (the “Guarantors”), entered into a First Amendment to the Absolute Net Lease Agreement (the “First Amendment”) pertaining to premises located at 23600-23634 Woodward Ave, Pleasant Ridge MI 48069 (See Note 3). The Parties also agreed to a fully executed Reaffirmation of Guaranty from the Guarantors.

 

According to the terms of the First Amendment, the following changes have been agreed to by the Parties:

 

Amended Rental Payment Schedule

 

The First Amendment provides that as long as the Company’s Conditions, as outlined in this First Amendment, are satisfied including a Renovation Completion Commitment, the Rental Payment Schedule of the Lease will be amended to the schedule set forth in the First Amendment.

 

Capital Commitment

 

The First Amendment provides for the inclusion of the Capital Commitment as follows: Tenant shall cause a total of at least $850,000 to be spent toward capital improvements to the Premises (the “Commitment Improvements” and/or the “Capital Commitment”). Any such Commitment Improvements shall be made in accordance with the Lease as amended. Commitment Improvements to be counted toward satisfying the Capital Commitment shall include capital improvements to the Premises and any part thereof, as well as other improvements approved in advance in writing by the Company, and shall exclude soft costs, permit, design, architectural and engineering fees, and legal fees. Tenant acknowledges that the Capital Commitment is material to the Company and the Company would not have agreed to enter into this First Amendment but for Tenant’s obligations in this paragraph. If the Capital Commitment is not completed in the prescribed time period, as evidenced by invoices or similar documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company, Tenant’s failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Lease.

 

Renovation Completion Commitment

 

The First Amendment provides for the inclusion of the Renovation Completion Commitment as follows: Tenant shall cause its Capital Commitment at the Premises (the “Renovation Completion Commitment”) to be completed within three (3) months after the First Amendment Effective Date (the “Renovation Completion Commitment Date”). In order to satisfy the Renovation Completion Commitment, Tenant must satisfy the following prior to the Renovation Completion Commitment Date (i) deliver to the Company the appropriate deliverables evidencing renovation completion (the “Renovation Completion Deliverables”) (as defined below) (ii) open for business to the public for its intended Use of the Premises (the “Store Opening”), (iii) and complete its first bona fide sale to the public. The Renovation Completion Deliverables include the following: (x) Tenant has furnished to the Company a copy of a commercially reasonably detailed final cost breakdown for Tenant’s Work and the Company has inspected the Premises to confirm that Tenant’s Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner according to the Tenant’s Approved Plans; (y) Tenant has furnished to the Company commercially reasonable final affidavits and final lien releases from Tenant’s general contractor, if any, all subcontractors and all material suppliers for all labor and materials performed or supplied as part of Tenant’s Work (whether or not the Allowance is applicable thereto); (z) a copy of the certificate of occupancy from the governmental authority having jurisdiction has been delivered to the Company. Tenant acknowledges that the Renovation Completion Commitment is material to the Company and the Company would not have agreed to enter into this First Amendment but for Tenant’s obligations in this paragraph. If the Renovation Completion Commitment is not completed in the prescribed time period, Tenant’s failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Lease. the Company shall grant Tenant up to two (2) additional 30-day extension upon request, so long as at the time of the extension the site is conducting inspections toward certificate of occupancy.

 

North Lot

 

The First Amendment also provides that if within 18 months of the date of this First Amendment, Tenant is able to complete all of the following related to 23634 Woodward Ave, Pleasant Ridge MI 48069 with an APN of 25-27-181-003 (the “North Lot”): (i) obtain authorization from all required jurisdictions (including the City of Pleasant Ridge) that the use of the North Lot parking spaces is no longer required and releases the Company from all obligations related to the North Lot under the Declaration of Restrictions and Parking Easement (the “Parking Agreement”), and (ii) confirm that the Tenant is able to continue to use the lot for purposes of ingress and egress, and (iii) Tenant is able to arrange a deal with the seller of the North Lot, which is currently under a Land Contract with outstanding installment payments, that (x) provides the Company with indemnity from Tenant that completely releases the Company of any operational obligations or liabilities related to the North Lot, (y) provides the Company with indemnity from Tenant that completely release the Company of any financial obligations or liabilities related to the North Lot, and (z) does not cause any encumbrance or legal liability to the remaining properties at the Premises; then within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of written confirmation from all appropriate parties that all requirements noted above have been satisfied, at the Company sole discretion, the Company agrees that the parties shall enter into a Lease Amendment acknowledging the same and modifying Tenant’s lease base rental rate to be reduced by $3,846 for the Lease.

 

Reaffirmation of Guarantee

 

In consideration of the First Amendment, the Guarantors executed and delivered a Reaffirmation of Guaranty, attached to the First Amendment as Addendum B (the “Reaffirmation of Guaranty”) effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date, May 3, 2024. Related to the Guaranty and the Original Guarantors, The Company agrees, that so long as there are no uncured Events of Default and Tenant remains in good standing under the Lease, then the Original Guarantors shall be released of their guarantees following the original lease term of fourteen and a half (14.5) years. The Company also agrees that, provided the Company has given written approval, at its discretion, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, then the Original Guarantors may be permitted to transfer the obligations under their Guarantees in the event of a Permitted Transfer, on to a new Guarantor(s) that are of at least equal or greater credit than the Original Guarantors, to be determined by the Company in its discretion, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2024.

Liquidity

Liquidity

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company generated net income of $96,473 and cash provided by operations of $207,218 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $1,519,903 and stockholders’ equity of $5,352,650.

The cash balance and positive net cash provided by operating activities serves to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the Company has sufficient cash and positive cash flows to meet its obligations for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this filing.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of investment in equity securities, the useful life of rental properties and property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets including rental property and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of derivative asset or liability related to interest rate swap, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, including options and stock-based compensation.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure. The Company conducts a significant portion of its business in states that have legalized and regulated cannabis. Additionally, the Company’s tenants operate in the state-legalized and state-regulated cannabis industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the state markets in which the Company operates or any changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws or changes in state laws could potentially have a negative effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, substantially all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net leases to tenants (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant Tenants”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, revenues associated with Significant Tenants amounted to $596,707 and $592,848, respectively, which represents 71.3% and 86.1% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3).

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, capitalized permit costs, escrow deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

 

The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

  Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
  Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Other than the interest rate swap, the Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value, on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy of its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

   March 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Description  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Interest rate swap asset (liability)  $
   $2,724   $

   $(122,879)  $ 
Interest rate swap

Interest rate swap

In connection with a bank loan executed in 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk related to debt that accrues interest at variable rates. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreement in accordance with the guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. Interest payments receivable and payable under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement are accrued over the period to which the payment relates and the net difference is treated as an adjustment of interest expense related to the underlying liability. Because the variable interest rates used to calculate payments under the terms of the swap agreement are calculated using different benchmarks than those included in the Company’s variable rate debt agreement, the swap agreement is not considered an effective cash flow hedge.

Accordingly, changes in the underlying market value of the remaining swap payments are recognized into income as an increase or decrease to other income (expense) each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company believes values provided by East West Bank (the “Counterparty”) represent the fair value of its swap agreement. The Company believes that the quality of the Counterparty to its swap agreement mitigates the Counterparty credit risk.

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is determined by the Counterparty based on market data used by Counterparty and is reflected as a derivative asset or liability on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value reflected in change in fair value of interest rate swap on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage interest rate risks and not as investment vehicles.

Cash

Cash

Cash is carried at cost and represents cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. The Company had no cash equivalents on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s cash is held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $993,000 and $2,555,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

The Company has equity investments in various privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments either under the equity method or cost method of accounting depending on the Company’s ownership interest and level of influence. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded based upon the amount of the Company’s investment and adjusted each period for its share of the investee’s income or loss. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its investments in these entities for consolidation. It considers its percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective joint venture and the Company’s share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities.

Long-term investments

Long-term investments

Long-term investments include investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence and are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments is less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in non-operating income (loss). On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, long-term investments consisted of an investment in convertible preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value (see Note 5).

Rental properties

Rental properties

Rental properties are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 39 years. Tenant improvements paid for by the Company are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities (such as acquired below-market leases) and allocates the purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions.

 

The Company’s rental properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared.

If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any impairment losses.

The Company has land which is not subject to depreciation.

Escrow deposits

Escrow deposits

The Company is in the business of pursuing real estate acquisitions and investments that may include various contractual instruments to secure a property, such as an Option Agreement or a Purchase and Sale Agreement. These agreements often include the requirement to make escrow deposits. Escrow deposits include cash deposits made by the Company for the future acquisition of properties or for the option to acquire a property. In most cases, upon closing of the acquisition of a property, the escrow deposit will be applied to the purchase price. In some cases, the Company may discontinue pursuit of an acquisition of a property and therefore terminate an existing agreement, which can cause forfeiture of escrow deposits if those deposits are non-refundable. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company forfeited escrow deposits of $21,600 and $15,000, respectively, which is reflected in operating expenses as part of property portfolio business development costs on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, escrow deposits amounted to $278,716 and $177,048, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The Company uses a five-year life for office equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures, and five to ten years for vehicles. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.

The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

Property Investment Portfolio Revenues

Rental income is accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 842 “Leases” and includes base rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of rent abatements under the leases. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded by the Company is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

Currently, the Company’s leases provide for payments with fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases or annual percentage increases in base rent over the term of the lease. The leases also require the tenant to remit estimated monthly payments to the Company for property taxes and common area maintenance. These payments are recorded as rental income and the related property tax expense is reflected separately on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

 

Real Estate Services Revenues

The Company follows ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), except for revenues from lease contracts within the scope of ASC 842, which are excluded from ASC 606. This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and requires certain additional disclosures. 

Revenues from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with clients and collectability is probable.

Brokerage revenues primarily consist of real estate sales commissions and are recognized upon the successful completion of all required services which is likely to occur upon a lease commencement, when escrow closes on the sale of a property, or as otherwise negotiated between the Brokerage and its clients. In accordance with the guidelines established for reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent in ASC Topic 606, the Company records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in ASC Topic 606, the Company is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service, has credit risk, and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications. Brokerage revenues that are payable upon payment of rent or other events beyond the Company’s control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities include advisory fees received in advance that are deferred and recognized when the services are complete or over the actual or expected contract term, rental revenue received in advance, and other deferred revenue for when the Company receives consideration from an agreement before certain criteria have been met for revenue to be recognized in conformity with GAAP. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, contract liabilities activities were as follows:

Lease accounting

Lease accounting

The FASB’s ASC Topic 842, “Leases” sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

For leases entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessor, at the inception of the contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease by reviewing the terms of the lease and determining if the lessee obtains control of the underlying asset implicitly or explicitly. If a change to a pre-existing lease occurs, the Company evaluates if the modification results in a separate new lease or a modified lease. A new lease results when a modification provides additional right of use. The new lease or modified lease is then reassessed to determine its classification based on the modified terms. As disclosed in Note 3, on January 24, 2022 and effective on March 1, 2022, the Chino Valley lease was amended and the monthly base rent was increased to $87,581 due to additional space of 30,000 square feet being leased to the lessee, increasing the premises to a total of 97,312 square feet of operational space. In connection with this lease amendment, the Company paid $500,000 to the tenant as a tenant improvement allowance or lease incentive for investment into the premises, which was capitalized as a lease incentive receivable and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term as a reduction to the lease income. The increase in monthly rent was commensurate with the additional space being leased; therefore, this modification qualifies as a separate contract under ASC 842 which does not require lease classification reassessment. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12-months or less as an accounting policy election and recognizes rent expense on a straight-lines basis over the lease term.

 

The Company records revenues from rental properties for its operating leases where it is the lessor on a straight-line basis. Any revenue on the straight-line basis exceeding the monthly payment amount required on the operating lease is reflected as deferred rent. In 2020, the Company amended its leases for which it is the lessor on its Chino Valley, Tempe, Kingman and Green Valley properties. The amendments resulted in an abatement of rent for the months of June and July 2020. Additionally, in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Michigan property acquired in December 2022, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from December 2022 to March 2023, and in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Chicago property acquired in January 2024, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from January 2024 to August 2024. These rent abatements and the effect of recording rent on a straight-line basis resulted in aggregate deferred rent as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $459,520 and $371,472, respectively (see Note 3). Additionally, if the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessee, at the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. For leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s administrative office lease, the Company analyzed if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASC 842.

Operating lease right of use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate of 6% based on the information available at the adoption date or execution of a lease agreement in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Basic and diluted loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive common shares and participating securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses. The Company’s preferred stock is considered a participating security since the preferred shares are entitled to dividends equal to common share dividends and accordingly, are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing (loss) income per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines (loss) income per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

Segment reporting

Segment reporting

The Company operates in two reportable segments which consist of (1) the operations, leasing and management of its leased commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company has determined that these reportable segments were strategic business units that offered different products. Currently, these reportable segments are being managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

Income tax

Income tax

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
