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. The Company renamed the corporation, Zoned Properties, Inc., and shifted its business model during the first quarter of 2014. The Company is now a real estate development firm for emerging and highly regulated industries, including regulated cannabis. The Company is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its integrated growth services. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties has developed a full spectrum of integrated growth services to support its real estate development model; the Company’s Property Technology, Advisory Services, Commercial Brokerage, and Investment Portfolio collectively cross-pollinate within the model to drive project value associated with complex real estate projects. With national experience and a team of experts devoted to the emerging cannabis industry, Zoned Properties is addressing the specific needs of a modern market in highly regulated industries. Zoned Properties is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council. 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 Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
● | Gilbert Property Management, LLC (“Gilbert”) was organized in the State of Arizona on February 10, 2014. This subsidiary was dissolved on July 5, 2022. | |
● | Chino Valley Properties, LLC (“Chino Valley”) was organized in the State of Arizona on April 15, 2014. | |

● | ZP Data Platform 2, LLC (“ZP Data 2”) was organized in the State of Arizona on June 21, 2022. |
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Company is monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. Currently, all of the properties in the Company’s portfolio are open to its Significant Tenants and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. The Company did not experience in 2020 or 2021 and does not foresee in 2022, any material changes to its operations from COVID-19. The Company’s tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties, and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while the Company does not anticipate an impact on its operations, it cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the Company’s business, including weakened demand for its properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 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 June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 condensed 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, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include the collectability of accounts and note receivable, 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 joint ventures, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, including stock 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 Arizona. Additionally, the Company’s tenants operate in the regulated
cannabis industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the Arizona market 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 that are controlled by one entity (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant
Tenants”). For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, rental and advisory revenue associated with the Significant Tenants
amounted to $
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the convertible note receivable approximates fair value based on the current interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820.
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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The majority of 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
Accounts and convertible notes receivable
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts and notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. 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. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in general and administrative expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any allowances for doubtful accounts.
Investment in 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 either 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 June 30, 2022, equity investments consist of an investment in convertible preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value (see Note 7). On December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any investment in equity securities.
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
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 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
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.
The Company has capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation. 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment losses.
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,
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
The Company follows ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“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 also requires certain additional disclosures.
Rental income 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 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. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with clients and collectability is reasonably assured.
Brokerage revenues primarily consist of real estate sales commissions and are recognized upon the successful completion of all required services which is when escrow closes. 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.

Lease accounting
The FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” 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 existing 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 1, 2019, the Chino
Valley lease was modified to increase the monthly base rent from $
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 a deferred rent receivable. Effective May 31, 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. This rent abatement resulted in a deferred rent receivable as of June 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021 of $
For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessee, at the inception of a contract, the Company assess 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 ASU 2016-02.
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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Basic and diluted (loss) income per share
Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income 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 loss. 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.

Segment reporting
Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company determined that its properties had similar economic characteristics to be aggregated into one reportable segment (operating, leasing and managing commercial properties, and advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties). The Company’s determination was based primarily on its method of internal reporting. Beginning on January 1, 2022, the Company changed its method of internal reporting and determined that the Company operates in two reportable segments which consists of (1) the operations, leasing and management of its leased commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) advisory, brokerage and franchise 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed 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
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and a modified retrospective approach is required, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which delayed the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies which applies to the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its future consolidated financial statements.
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 consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company determined that its properties had similar economic characteristics to be aggregated into one reportable segment (operating, leasing and managing commercial properties, and advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties). The Company’s determination was based primarily on its method of internal reporting. Beginning on January 1, 2022, the Company changed its method of internal reporting and determined that the Company operates in two reportable segments which consists 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 offer different products. Currently, these reportable segments are being managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.
Information with respect to these reportable business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

NOTE 13 – 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
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 month 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.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, in connection with its operating leases, the Company recorded rent expense of $

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 24, 2022.
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 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 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 condensed 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. The Company is a real estate development firm for emerging and highly regulated industries, including regulated cannabis. The Company is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its integrated growth services. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties has developed a full spectrum of integrated growth services to support its real estate development model; the Company’s Property Technology, Advisory Services, Commercial Brokerage, and Investment Portfolio collectively cross-pollinate within the model to drive project value associated with complex real estate projects. With national experience and a team of experts devoted to the emerging cannabis industry, Zoned Properties is addressing the specific needs of a modern market in highly regulated industries. Zoned Properties is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council. 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”).
27
We operate our business in two reportable segments consisting of (i) the operations, leasing and management of its leased commercial properties (the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (ii) advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties (the “Real Estate Services” segment). We are in the process of developing and expanding multiple business divisions, including a property technology division, and a property investment portfolio division focused on acquisitions to expand our property holdings. Each of these operating divisions is an important element of the overall business development strategy for long-term growth. We believe in the value of building relationships with clients and local communities to position the Company for long-term portfolio and revenue growth backed by sophisticated, safe, and sustainable assets and clients.
The core of our business involves identifying and developing commercial properties that intend to operate within highly regulated industries, including the regulated 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. These regulations often include complex permitting processes 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.
The Company currently maintains a portfolio of properties that we own, develop, and lease. We lease land and/or building space at all four of the properties in our portfolio. Four of the properties are leased to licensed and regulated cannabis tenants and are located in areas with established zoning and permitting procedures. Two of the leased properties are zoned and permitted as licensed and regulated cannabis dispensaries, and two of the leased properties are zoned and permitted as licensed and regulated cannabis cultivation facilities. Each regulated property may undergo a non-standard development process. Various development requirements in this process may include initial property identification, zoning authorization, and permitting guidance in order to qualify a commercial property for subsequent architectural design, utility installation, construction and development, property management, facilities management systems, and security system installation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, substantially all of our Property Investment Portfolio revenues were generated from triple-net leases to tenants that are controlled by one entity (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant Tenants”), which is located in the State of Arizona. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Real Estate Services segment revenues included $0 and $4,750 that were generated from the Significant Tenants. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Real Estate Services segment revenues included $0 and $14,000 that were generated from the Significant Tenants.

The Company is focusing heavily on the growth of a diversified revenue stream in 2022 and is moving to take advantage of new opportunities. We intend to accomplish this by prospecting new advisory services across the country for private, public, and municipal clients. We believe that strategic real estate and sustainability services are likely to emerge as the growth engine for Zoned Properties.
Pursuant to lease agreements with our Significant Tenant, from the period from May 31, 2020 through June 30, 2022, our Significant Tenants invested a combined total of at least $8,000,000 improvements in and to the properties in Chino Valley. The increase in the rentable area of the leased premises resulted in an increase in all amounts calculated based on the same, including, without limitation, base rent.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Company is monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. Currently, all of the properties in the Company’s portfolio are open to its Significant Tenants and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. The Company did not experience in 2020 or 2021 and does not foresee in 2022, any material changes to its operations from COVID-19. The Company’s tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties, and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while the Company does not anticipate an impact on its operations, it cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the Company’s business, including weakened demand for its properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, which are included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, total revenues amounted to $498,652, including Significant Tenants revenues of $445,479, as compared to $550,064, including Significant Tenant revenues of $291,982, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $51,412, or 9.3%. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in revenues as compared to the 2021 comparable period was attributable to an increase in rental revenue from our Significant Tenant of $155,342 due to an increase in rental revenue at our Chino Valley facility related to a fourth amendment to our lease agreement in connection with an increase in rentable square footage, an increase in advisory revenues of $22,000, and an increase in franchise fees earned of $5,000, offset by a decrease in brokerage revenues related to commission earned on real estate listings of $233,754. Substantially all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net leases to the Significant Tenants.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, total revenues amounted to $1,437,353, including Significant Tenants revenues of $830,773, as compared to $895,909, including Significant Tenant revenues of $588,462, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $541,444, or 60.4%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in revenues as compared to the 2021 comparable period was attributable to an increase in rental revenue from our Significant Tenant of $253,250 due to an increase in rental revenue at our Chino Valley facility related to a fourth amendment to our lease agreement in connection with an increase in rentable square footage, an increase in brokerage revenue of $277,350 related to commission earned on real estate listings, and an increase in franchise fees earned of $11,250, offset by a decrease in advisory revenues of $406.

● | For the three months ended June 30, 2022, compensation and benefit expense increased by $200,533, or 3142.5%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation of $75,009 and increase in compensation and benefits of $125,524. The increase in stock-based compensation related to an increase in stock-based compensation from the accretion of stock option expense. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, we began to hire additional staff related to the diversification of our services into brokerage services and the expansion of our advisory services. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, compensation and benefit expense increased by $341,519, or 174.9%. as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits of $217,416 and an increase in stock-based compensation of $124,103. The increase in stock-based compensation was from the accretion of stock option expense offset by a decrease in the value of common shares issued for services. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, we began to hire additional staff related to the diversification of our services into brokerage services and the expansion of our advisory services. | |
● | For the three months ended June 30, 2022, professional fees decreased by $42,093, or 38.8%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in consulting fees of $45,760 due to the hiring of certain consultants that are now employees and a decrease in accounting fees of $880 offset by an increase in legal fees of $3,146 and an increase in public relations fees of $1,625. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, professional fees decreased by $20,194, or 10.0%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in consulting fees of $39,721 due to the hiring of certain consultants that are now employees, offset by an increase in legal fees of $7,113 and an increase in public relations fees of $12,250. | |
● | For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded brokerage fees amounting to $1,419 and $118,296, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded brokerage fees amounting to $357,966 and $118,296, respectively. 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, income from operations amounted to $314 as compared to income from operations of $96,285 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $95,971, or 99.7%.
Other (expense) income
Other (expense) income primarily includes interest expense incurred on debt with third parties and a related party, and includes other (expense) income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, total other expenses, net amounted to $29,859 as compared to total other expenses, net of $27,059, respectively, representing an increase of $2,800, or 10.3%. This increase was attributable to an increase in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures of $3,101 offset by a decrease in interest expense of $300. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, total other expenses, net amounted to $65,073 as compared to total other expenses, net of $55,026, respectively, representing an increase of $10,047, or 18.3%. This increase was attributable to an increase in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures of $10,920 offset by an increase in interest income of $873 attributable to interest earned on the convertible note receivable
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net (loss) income amounted to $(39,063), or $(0.00) per common share (basic and diluted), and $112,594, or $0.01 per common share (basic and diluted), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, net (loss) income amounted to $(64,759), or $(0.01) per common share (basic and diluted), and $41,259, or $0.00 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 $891,244 and $1,191,940 of cash as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Our primary uses of cash have been for 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 advisory 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, and | |
● | The cost of being a public company. | |
● | An increase in investments in joint ventures and other projects. | |
● | An increase in funds used for lease incentives paid to our Significant Tenant. |
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, from advisory fees, from brokerage revenues, and from franchise services, we presently have no other significant alternative source of working capital.
We have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, 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.

On March 19, 2020, we made an initial investment of $100,000 into KCB Jade Holdings, LLC (“KCB”). In exchange for the investment, KCB issued to us a convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) dated March 19, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”) in the original principal amount of $100,000. The Debenture bears interest at the rate of 6.5% per annum and matures on March 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest on the outstanding principal sum of the Debenture commences accruing on the Issuance Date and is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable annually due by the first day of each calendar anniversary following the Issuance Date. KCB may prepay the Debenture at any point after 18 months following the Issuance Date, in whole or in part. However, if KCB elects to prepay the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date or prior to any conversion as provided in the Debenture in whole or in part, we will be entitled to receive a number of KCB units, in addition to such prepayment amount, constituting 10% of the total outstanding units and 10% of the total percentage interest following such issuance and at the time of such issuance. On or after six months from the Issuance Date, we may convert all or a portion of the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest due into a number of units equal to the proportion of the outstanding amount being converted multiplied by 33% of the total number of units issued and outstanding at the time of conversion, constituting 33% of the total percentage interest (the “Conversion Percentage”). If KCB defaults on payment of the Debenture, we may, at its option, extend all conversion rights, through and including the date KCB tenders or attempts to tender payment in full of all amounts due under the Debenture. Conversion rights terminate upon acceptance by the Company of payment in full of principal, accrued interest, and any other amounts due under the Debenture. If (i) KCB does not elect to exercise its rights of prepayment prior to the Maturity Date, (ii) we do not elect to exercise its rights of conversion, and (iii) KCB pays to the Company all outstanding principal and interest accrued and due under the terms of the Debenture on the Maturity Date, we will still be entitled to receive a number of units, in addition to such payment amount, constituting 8% of the total outstanding units and 8% of the total percentage interest following such issuance and at the time of such issuance.
On February 19, 2021, we made an additional investment of $100,000 into KCB (the “Additional Investment”). In exchange, the KCB issued to the Company an amended and restated convertible debenture (the “A&R Debenture”) on the Amendment Date. The A&R Debenture amends and restates in its entirety the Original Debenture. Pursuant to the A&R Debenture, the Company and KCB agreed to certain new terms that did not exist in the Original Debenture, which are described below.
● | Interest Accrual Commencement: Pursuant to the A&R Debenture, interest on the Initial Investment begins accruing as of March 19, 2020, while interest on the Additional Investment begins accruing on February 19, 2021. |
● | Franchise Fees. In the A&R Debenture, the parties acknowledge that each time that KCB sells one of its franchise locations, KCB earns a fee (an “Initial Fee”), and that KCB also earns a fee when one of its franchise locations renews its franchise with KCB (a “Renewal Fee”). Pursuant to the A&R Debenture, the Company and KCB agreed that, as additional consideration for the Additional Investment, KCB will pay to the Company, in perpetuity, 5% of any Initial Fee received by KCB after the Amendment Date, as well as 5% of any Renewal Fee received by KCB related to any franchise locations sold after the Amendment Date, in each case to be paid within five (5) days of receipt of KCB thereof. |
In addition, following the Amendment Date, KCB agreed not to decrease the amount it charges its franchise locations for an Initial Fee or any Renewal Fee as in effect on the Amendment Date without the prior written consent of the Company, or to take any other actions that would reduce the value of KCB’s obligation to the Company with respect to these franchise fee payments. KCB’s obligation to pay the Company the franchise fees listed above will survive any termination, repayment, or conversion of the A&R Debenture. Failure by KCB to pay the Company the franchise fees in the manner described above will result in an event of default, and, among other things, any due and unpaid franchise fees will accrue interest at 12% per year from the date the obligation was due.
Apart from the terms described above, the terms of the A&R Debenture are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Debenture.
On August 2, 2021, KCB issued to the Company a second amended and restated convertible debenture (the “Second A&R Debenture”). The Second A&R Debenture amends and restates in its entirety the A&R Debenture. Pursuant to the Second A&R Debenture, the Company and KCB agreed to revise certain terms in the A&R Debenture, as described below.
Right of Prepayment. KCB may prepay the Second A&R Debenture at any point after 18 months following the Issue Date, in whole or in part. However, if KCB elects to prepay the Second A&R Debenture prior to March 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) or prior to any conversion in whole or in part, the Company will be entitled to receive a number of KCB Class B units (“Class B Units”), in addition to such prepayment amount, constituting 10% of the total outstanding KCB Units (as defined in KCB’s Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”)), for the avoidance of doubt, being 10% of the total of KCB’s Class A units (“Class A Units”) and the Class B Units together, and 10% of the total Percentage Interest (as defined in the Operating Agreement) following such issuance and at the time of such issuance.
Voluntary Conversion. On or after six months from the Issue Date, the Company is entitled to convert all or a portion of the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest due under the Second A&R Debenture (the “Outstanding Amount”) into a number of Class B Units equal to the proportion of the Outstanding Amount being converted multiplied by the Conversion Percentage, as defined below). Should KCB default on payment hereof, the Company may, at its option, extend all conversion rights, through and including the date KCB tenders or attempts to tender payment in full of all amounts due under the Second A&R Debenture. Conversion rights will terminate upon acceptance by the Company of payment in full of principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due under the Second A&R Debenture.
Conversion Percentage. The Conversion Percentage will be 33% of the total number of Units (for the avoidance of doubt, being 33% of the total of the Class A Units and the Class B Units together), issued and outstanding at the time of conversion, constituting 33% of the total Percentage Interest (the “Conversion Percentage”).
Right of Maturity Units. If (i) KCB does not elect to exercise its prepayment rights prior to the Maturity Date, and (ii) the Company does not elect to exercise its conversion rights, and (iii) KCB pays to the Company all outstanding principal and interest accrued and due under the terms of the Second A&R Debenture on the Maturity Date, then the Company will still be entitled to receive a number of Class B Units, in addition to such payment amount, constituting 8% of the total outstanding Units (for the avoidance of doubt, being 8% of the total of the Class A Units and the Class B Units together) and 8% of the total Percentage Interest (as such term is defined in the Second A&R Debenture) following such issuance and at the time of such issuance.
33
Apart from the terms described above, the terms of the Second A&R Debenture are substantially identical to the terms of the A&R Debenture.
As discussed in the Overview section and elsewhere, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we contributed $86,000 to the Beakon joint venture and we contributed $90,000 to the Zoneomics Green joint venture. Additionally, on December 31, 2021, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $73,970 because it was determined that the fair value of our equity method investment in Beakon was less than its carrying value. Based on management’s evaluation, it was determined that due to market conditions and lack of committed funding, our ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment in Beakon was impaired as of December 31, 2021.
Our future operations are dependent on our ability to manage our current cash balance, on the collection of rental and advisory revenues and the attainment of new advisory clients. Our real estate properties are leased to Significant 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had an asset concentration related to our Significant Tenant leases. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these Significant Tenants represented approximately 73.3% and 79.2% 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 included audited financial statements of our Significant Tenants as Exhibit 99.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022 since such audited financial statements represent material information and are necessary for the protection of investors.
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.
Line of Credit
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 may request advances under a multiple access loan (“MAL”) during the MAL Advance Period (as hereinafter defined) in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $4,500,000. The “MAL Advance Period” means the shorter of (i) a period of one year from July 11, 2022, or (ii) a period commencing on July 11, 2022 and ending on the date that Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election (as hereinafter defined). On July 11, 2022, Zoned Arizona paid the Bank a $45,000 loan fee. Amounts borrowed under the MAL may not be re-borrowed.
The proceeds of each advance under the MAL may be used by Zoned Arizona to refinance the real property at 410 S. Madison Drive, Tempe, AZ 85251 (the “Property”) or to conduct certain acts related to the acquisition, improvement and maintenance of real property. On termination of the MAL, all unpaid principal, unpaid and accrued interest, and all other amounts due under the MAL will be immediately due and payable.
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.
Provided that Zoned Arizona has previously drawn one or more advances equal to or greater than $1 million under the MAL, at any time during the MAL Advance Period, Zoned Arizona may elect to reset as to such advances from the variable interest rate set forth in the Note to a fixed interest rate for the remaining term of the MAL (the “Fixed Rate Option”). In the event Zoned Arizona elects the Fixed Rate Option for any advances, such advances will become subject to a new SWAP note (a “SWAP Note”) in a principal amount of at least $1 million based on an interest rate equal to the prime rate then in existence as of the effective date of the new SWAP Note plus 0.75%.
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.
All advances under the MAL bear interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate plus 2%, or (b) a floor rate equal to the sum of the prime rate as of July 11, 2022 plus 2.25%. From July 11, 2022 to July 11, 2023, Zoned Arizona agreed to make interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the MAL. From and after July 11, 2023 and continuing until July 11, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”), Zoned Arizona will pay principal together with interest on the MAL in 60 monthly installments based on the interest rate set forth in the Note and a principal amortization schedule of 25 years from July 11, 2023 (or if Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election, from the date such election is made).
Zoned Arizona may prepay the outstanding principal under the Note, at any time, subject to the provisions of the Note. If Zoned Arizona prepays all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance of the MAL at any time until July 11, 2023, then Zoned Arizona will also pay a premium equal to 1% of the amount prepaid.

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 or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited 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 those related to income taxes, and the 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 policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements.
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.
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 several 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.
We have capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.
Lease accounting
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” 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 existing 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.
36
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 1, 2019, the Chino Valley lease was modified to increase the monthly base rent from $35,000 to $40,000. On May 31, 2020, the Chino Valley lease was modified to decrease the monthly base rent from $40,000 to $32,800 and the Tempe lease was modified to increase the monthly base rent from $33,500 to $49,200. On August 23, 2021 and effective September 1, 2021, the Chino Valley lease was amended, and the monthly base rent was increased to $55,195 due to additional space of 27,312 square feet being leased to the lessee. 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 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 the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. At the commencement of the modified terms, the Company reassessed its lease classification and concluded it remained properly classified as an operating lease.
The Company records revenues from rental properties for its operating leases on a straight-line basis where it is the lessor. Any revenue on the straight-line basis exceeding the monthly payment amount required on the operating lease is reflected as a deferred rent receivable. Effective May 31, 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. This rent abatement resulted in a deferred rent receivable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of $160,276 and $164,770, respectively. 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 assess 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 ASU 2016-02.
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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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.
37
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).
Revenue recognition
We follow ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“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 also requires certain additional disclosures.
Rental income 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. We commence 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, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When we are 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.
Currently, the Company’s leases provide for payments with fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases. The leases also require the tenant to remit estimated monthly payments to the Company for property taxes. These payments are recorded as rental income and the related property tax expense reflected separately on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with clients and collectability is reasonably assured.
Brokerage revenues primarily consists of real estate sales commissions and are recognized upon the successful completion of all required services have been performed which is when escrow closes. In accordance with the guidelines established for Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent in the 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 revenue that are payable upon payment of rent or other events beyond the Company’s control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.
38
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 Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and a modified retrospective approach is required, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which delayed the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies which applies to the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its future consolidated financial statements.
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 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 June 30, 2022, 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 period ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
