NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Organization
Zoned
Properties, Inc. (“Zoned Properties” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August
25, 2003. The Company is a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide real estate and sustainability
services for clients in the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for real estate acquisitions and revenue growth.
The Company intends to pioneer sustainable development for emerging industries, including the regulated cannabis industry. The
Company is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council.
The Company focuses on investing capital to acquire and develop commercial properties to be leased on a triple-net basis, and
engaging clients that face zoning, permitting, development, and operational challenges. The Company provides development strategies
and advisory services that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. 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.
●
Chino Valley Properties,
LLC (“Chino Valley”) was organized in the State of Arizona on April 15, 2014.

●

LLC (“Zoned Advisory”) was organized in the State of Arizona on July 27, 2018.
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 their customers and
will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. At this time, the Company does not foresee 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. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this
event on its operations.
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.
5
ZONED
PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER
30, 2020
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 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 the consolidated financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information
and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations
and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 included
in our Annual Report on form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
Effective
January 1, 2019, the Company and certain beneficial shareholders entered into a Stock Redemption Agreement. Pursuant to SEC rules,
each of these beneficial shareholders was deemed to be a “related person” due solely to their status as significant
stockholders of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement, these beneficial shareholders would no longer
be significant stockholders of the Company and are no longer deemed to be “related persons” under SEC rules. Accordingly,
as of January 1, 2019, the Company no longer reflects transactions and balances related to these beneficial shareholders as related
party transactions.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of unaudited 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
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, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, 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 Arizona. Additionally,
the Company’s tenants operate in the medical marijuana 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, rental and advisory revenue associated with the Significant Tenants amounted to $878,759
and $855,659, which represents 96.9% and 91.0% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3).
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying amounts reported in the unaudited 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
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 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 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. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately
$328,000 and $390,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000.

Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts 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 considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated
with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in general and administrative expense. For the nine months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any allowances for doubtful accounts.
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, 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.
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 nine months ended September 30,
2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any impairment losses.
The
Company has capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are 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
On
January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, 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. This standard 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. The Company adopted this standard using the modified
retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective
date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The
adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition
from contracts with tenants.

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.
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 statements of operations.
See
below for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and its impact on our consolidated financial statements
upon adoption.
Revenues
from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with clients and collectability
is reasonably assured.
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 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 potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would
be anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Segment
reporting
The
Company’s business is comprised of one reportable segment. The Company has determined that its properties have similar economic
characteristics to be aggregated into one reportable segment (operating, leasing and managing commercial properties). The Company’s
determination was based primarily on its method of internal reporting.
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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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 .
Recently
adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842)” using a modified retrospective method.
On adoption the Company also applied the package of practical expedients to leases, where the Company is the lessee or lessor,
that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or
existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct
costs for any existing leases.
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 new 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
contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where we are the lessee, at the inception of a contract the Company assess
whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our 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. We allocate the consideration in the contract to
each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Leases entered into prior to January
1, 2019, are accounted for under ASC 840 and were not reassessed.
For
leases entered into on or after the effective date, where we are the lessor, at the inception of the contract the Company assess
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, we evaluate 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. Additionally, 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. At the commencement of the modified terms, the Company reassessed its lease classification and concluded
it remained properly classified as an operating lease.
The
adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the operating leases where the Company is a lessor. The Company will
continue to record revenues from rental properties for its operating leases 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 September 30, 2020 of $176,004 (see Note 3).
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value
upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. Since the terms of the Company’s operating lease for its office space is 12 months or less,
pursuant to ASC 842, the Company determined that the lease meets the definition of a short-term lease and the Company did not
recognize a right-of use asset and lease liability arising from this lease.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Asset
concentration
The
majority of the Company’s real estate properties are leased to the Significant Tenant under triple-net leases that terminate
in April 2040. 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an asset concentration related to the Significant Tenants. As of
September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Significant Tenants represented approximately 84.3% and 87.1% of the Company’s
total assets, respectively. Through September 30, 2020, all rental payments have been made on a timely basis. As of September
30, 2020, the lease agreements with the Significant Tenants were personally guaranteed by Alan Abrams and are collateralized by
convertibles notes of $2,000,000 owed to Mr. Abrams (see Note 6). On March 1, 2018, the Company and Alan Abrams entered into a
Reaffirmation Agreement (See Note 6).
Confidential

On
March 19, 2020, the Company made an initial investment of $100,000 into KCB Jade Holdings, LLC (“KCB”). In exchange
for the investment, KCB issued to the Company a convertible debenture (the “KCB Debenture”) dated March 19, 2020 (the
“Issuance Date”) in the original principal amount of $100,000. The KCB 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 KCB
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 KCB Debenture at any point after 18 months following the Issuance Date, in whole or in part. However, if KCB elects
to prepay the KCB Debenture prior to the Maturity Date or prior to any conversion as provided in the KCB Debenture in whole or
in part, the Company 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, the Company 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 KCB Debenture, 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 KCB Debenture. Conversion rights terminate upon acceptance by the Company of payment in full of principal, accrued interest
and any other amounts due under the KCB Debenture.
If
(i) KCB does not elect to exercise its rights of prepayment prior to the Maturity Date, (ii) the Company does 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 KCB Debenture on the Maturity Date, the Company 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.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the KCB Debenture, the entire principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest
outstanding under the KCB Debenture, and all other obligations of KCB under the KCB Debenture, will be immediately due and payable
and the Company may exercise any and all rights, power and remedies available to it at law or in equity or other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the KCB Debenture and proceed to enforce the payment
thereof or any other legal or equitable right of the Company.
Any
amount of principal or interest not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the due date thereof until
paid.
At
September 30, 2020, convertible note receivable and interest receivable amounted to $100,000 and $3,490, respectively.

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 December 31,
2019, 40,000 stock option awards are outstanding and 40,000 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of September 30, 2020,
75,000 stock option awards are outstanding and 75,000 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of September 30, 2020 and
December 31, 2019, 9,925,000 and 9,960,000 shares are 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, options to purchase 1,250,000
shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,125,000 options are exercisable pursuant to the 2014 Plan.
(D)
Stock options
On
January 6, 2020, the Company granted an employee an option, pursuant to the 2016 Plan, to purchase 125,000 of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The grant date of the option was January 6, 2020 and the option expires
on January 6, 2030. The option vests as to (i) 35,000 of such shares on January 6, 2020; and (ii) as to 10,000 of such shares
on January 6, 2021 and each year thereafter through January 6, 2029. The fair value of this option grant was estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of
0%; expected volatility of 110%; risk-free interest rate of 1.81%; and, an estimated holding period of 10 years. In connection
with these options, the Company valued these options at a fair value of $23,388 and will record stock-based compensation expense
over the vesting period. In July 2020, this employee was terminated and 90,000 unvested options were cancelled.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, in connection with the accretion of stock-based option expense, the Company
recorded stock-based compensation expense of $19,810 and $17,709, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,325,000
options outstanding and 1,200,000 options vested and exercisable. As of September 30, 2020, there was $34,582 of unvested stock-based
compensation expense to be recognized through December 2024. The aggregate intrinsic value at September 30, 2020 was nil and was
calculated based on the difference between the quoted share price on September 30, 2020 of $0.34 and the exercise price of the
underlying options.

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 annual report on Form 10-K 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, 2020.
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 audited financial statements and the related notes that appear in
our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
Overview
Zoned
Properties is a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide real estate and sustainability services
for clients in the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for real estate acquisitions and revenue growth. The Company
intends to pioneer sustainable development for emerging industries, including the regulated cannabis industry. The Company is
an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council. The Company
focuses on investing capital to acquire and develop commercial properties to be leased on a triple-net basis, and engaging clients
that face zoning, permitting, development, and operational challenges. The Company provides development strategies and advisory
services that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. 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 intends to develop and expand multiple business divisions, including a commercial real estate brokerage team, an advisory
services division, and a nonprofit charitable organization to focus on community prosperity. Each of these operating divisions
are important elements of the overall business development strategy for long-term growth. The Company believes in the value of
building relationships with clients and local communities in order to position the Company for long-term portfolio and revenue
growth backed by sophisticated, safe, and sustainable business practices.
The
core of our business involves identifying and developing properties that intend to operate within highly regulated zoning and
permitting regions, including the regulated cannabis industry. Within highly regulated industries, local municipalities typically
develop strict planning and zoning regulations that dictate the specific locations at which regulated properties can operate.
These regulations often create complex permitting processes and can include non-standard setbacks for each location; for example,
restricting a regulated property or facility from operating within a certain distance of any parks, schools, churches, or residential
districts. 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.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, substantially all of our 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.
The
Company currently maintains a portfolio of properties that we own, develop, and lease. In addition, we may provide on-going advisory
services at each property that is leased to operating tenants. Each property undergoes a development life cycle. Areas of development
that may require advisory services can range from initial property identification and zoning authorization to complete architectural
design, utility installation, property management protocol, facilities management systems, and security system installation. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, improvements made to rental properties amounted to $9,565. No improvements were made
during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Currently,
34 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia have passed laws permitting their citizens to use medical cannabis. Additionally,
16 states and the District have legalized cannabis for recreational use by adults. Marijuana remains classified as a Schedule
I controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”), and the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”),
and therefore it is illegal to grow, possess and consume cannabis under federal law. On September 27, 2018, however, the DEA announced
that drugs, including “finished dosage formulations” of cannabidiol (“CBD”) and tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”)
below 0.1%, will be considered Schedule 5 drugs as long as the medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
THC and CBD are two natural compounds found in cannabis plants. THC is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana, while CBD
is an antagonist to, and inhibits the physiological action to, THC. Also, under the 2018 Farm Bill or Agriculture Improvement
Act of 2018, CBD remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA, with a narrow exception for CBD derived from hemp with
a THC concentration of less than 0.3%. The CSA bans cannabis-related businesses; the possession, cultivation and production of
cannabis-infused products; and the distribution of cannabis and products derived from it. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court
has confirmed that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, including for medical purposes,
and that federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use.
Under
the Obama Administration, the DOJ previously issued memoranda, including the so-called “Cole Memo” on August 29, 2013,
providing internal guidance to federal prosecutors concerning enforcement of federal cannabis prohibitions under the CSA. This
guidance essentially characterized use of federal law enforcement resources to prosecute those complying with state laws allowing
the use, manufacture and distribution of cannabis as an inefficient use of such federal resources when state laws and enforcement
efforts are effective with respect to specific federal enforcement priorities under the CSA.
On
January 4, 2018, then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a written memorandum rescinding the Cole Memo and related internal
guidance issued by the DOJ regarding federal law enforcement priorities involving marijuana (the “Sessions Memo”).
The Sessions Memo instructs federal prosecutors that when determining which marijuana-related activities to prosecute under federal
law with the DOJ’s finite resources, prosecutors should follow the well-established principles set forth in the U.S. Attorneys’
Manual governing all federal prosecutions. The Sessions Memo states that “these principles require federal prosecutors deciding
which cases to prosecute to weigh all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney
General, the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes
on the community.” The Sessions Memo went on to state that given the DOJ’s well-established general principles, “previous
nationwide guidance specific to marijuana is unnecessary and is rescinded, effective immediately.”
It
is unclear at this time what impact the Sessions Memo will have on the regulated cannabis and marijuana industry. During the January
2018 confirmation hearings of current Attorney General William Barr, Mr. Barr commented that he would not prosecute marijuana
businesses operating within state law. Also, in April 2019, Mr. Barr stated that he would prefer that Congress enact legislation
allowing states to legalize marijuana, rather than continuing the current approach under the which a growing number of states
have ended cannabis prohibition in conflict with federal law.
In
addition, pursuant to the current omnibus spending bill previously approved by Congress, the DOJ was prohibited from using funds
appropriated by Congress to prevent states from implementing their medical-use cannabis laws. There is no assurance that Congress
will approve inclusion of a similar prohibition on DOJ spending in the appropriations bill for future years. Although we are not
engaged in the purchase, sale, growth, cultivation, harvesting, or processing of medical-use marijuana products, we lease our
properties to tenants who engage in such activities, and therefore strict enforcement of federal prohibitions regarding marijuana
could irreparably harm our business, subject us to criminal prosecution and/or adversely affect the trading price of our securities.
The
Company will focus heavily on the growth of a diversified revenue stream in 2020. 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. We are moving to take advantage of new
opportunities.
Pursuant to the terms of the several lease
amendments our Significant Tenants, among other things, base rent base rent was abated from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020 on all
of our Significant Tenant leases which decreased our cash flow from operation during the nine months ended September 30, 2020
by $179,000. In addition, the parties agreed that from the period from May 31, 2020 to June 30, 2022, Significant Tenants will
invest a combined total of at least $8,000,000 improvements in and to the properties in Chino Valley and Tempe prior to June 30,
2022. 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.
COVID-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures
worldwide. We are 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 our portfolio are open to our Significant Tenants and their customers and will remain open
pursuant to state and local government requirements. At this time, we do not foresee any material changes to our operations from
COVID-19. Our 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 we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential
impact on our 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 our business, including weakened demand
for our properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time,
the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

For the three months
ended September 30, 2020, compensation and benefit expense decreased by $20,037, or 25.2%, as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compensation and benefit expense decreased by $10,739,
or 3.7%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based
compensation related to the accretion of stock option expense and the value of shares issued for services, and a decrease
in salary paid due to the reduction of one employee.
22
●
For the three months
ended September 30, 2020, professional fees decreased by $14,955, or 29.2%, as compared to the three months ended September
30, 2019. This decrease in professional fees was primarily attributable to a decrease in public relations fees of $1,525,
a decrease in legal fees of $4,069, and a decrease in other professional fees of $9,361. For the nine months ended September
30, 2020, professional fees decreased by $35,954, or 19.4%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This
decrease in professional fees was primarily attributable to a decrease in public relations fees of $13,908, a decrease in
legal fees of $8,418, and a decrease in other professional fees of $13,628 related to the decrease in advisory fees.
●
For the three months
ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses consist of expenses such as rent expense, directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance, travel expenses, office expenses, telephone and internet expenses and other general operating
expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses decreased by $18,444, or 30.4%,
as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable in a decrease in advertising
and promotion expense of $4,095, a decrease in a decrease in filing fees of $4,204, a decrease in dues and subscriptions of
$4,210, a decrease in travel expenses of $2,736, and a reduction in other general and administrative expenses of $3,199. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses increased by $10,152, or 7.4%, as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable in an increase in advertising and promotion
expense of $7,461 related to attending conferences, an increase in technology fees of $6,808. and an increase in insurance
expense of $5,364. Additionally, in the 2019 period, we received a tax refund of $8,704 which we did not receive in the 2020
period. These increases were offset by a decrease in filing fees of $7,326 and other general and administrative expenses of
$10,859.
●
For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2020, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $161, or 0.2%, and $530, or 0.2%,
as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
●
For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2020, real estate taxes decreased by $1,756, or 7.7%, and $5,268, or 7.7% as compared to the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Income
(Loss) from operations
As
a result of the factors described above, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, income from operations amounted to $53,751
as compared to income from operations of $34,287 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $19,464, or 56.8%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loss from operations amounted to $3,198 as compared to a loss from operations of
$10,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $7,228, or 69.3%.
Other
(expenses) income
Other
(expenses) income primarily includes interest expense incurred on debt with third parties and a related party and also includes
other income (expenses). For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total other expenses, net amounted to $(28,662) as compared
to $(30,300), respectively, a decrease of $1,638, or 5.4%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total other expenses,
net amounted to $(87,410) as compared to total other income, net of $17,304, respectively, a change of $(104,714), or 605.1%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized other income of $108,204 related to a cash rebate received from
the utility company as compared to nil during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Net
income (loss)
As
a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net income amounted to $25,089, or $0.00 per
common share (basic and diluted), and $3,987, or $0.00 per common share (basic and diluted), respectively.
As
a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net (loss) income amounted to $(90,608), or
$(0.01) per common share (basic and diluted), and $6,878, 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 $577,763
and $639,781 of cash as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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. 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.
23
We
may need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of 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 from advisory fees, 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, and grow our company. We
need to raise significant additional capital or debt financing to acquire new properties, to develop existing properties, and
to assure we have sufficient working capital for our ongoing operations and debt obligations.
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.
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 September 30, 2020 and December
31, 2019, we had an asset concentration related to our Significant Tenant leases. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
these Significant Tenants represented approximately 84.3% and 87.1% 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 Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020, 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.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
Net
cash flow provided by operating activities was $48,470 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared net cash flow
provided by operating activities of $219,433 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $170,963.

●
Net cash flow provided
by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflected net loss of $90,608 adjusted for
the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of $272,086, stock-based compensation expense of
$24,200 and accretion of stock-based stock option expense of $19,810, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities
primarily consisting of an increase in deferred rent receivable of $176,004 attributable to the abatement of May and June
2020 rent as part of lease amendments effective on May 31, 2020.
●
Net cash flow provided
by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily reflected net income of $6,878 adjusted for
the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of $271,555, stock-based compensation expense of
$31,100, and accretion of stock-based stock option expense of $17,709, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities
primarily consisting of a decrease in accounts payable of $111,809 which was primarily attributable to the payment of outstanding
amounts due for property improvements made in 2018.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities:
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to $110,488. This use of cash was
attributable to cash used for an investment in a convertible note receivable of $100,000 as discussed above and cash used in the
improvement of rental properties of $9,565. We did not have any investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
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 September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations
are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

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
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited and unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
25
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 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.
We
have capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.
Revenue
recognition
Effective
on January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-09 and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, 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. This standard 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. We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective
approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording
a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2014-09
did not have any impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from contracts with
tenants.
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.
Revenues
from advisory services is recognized when the Company performs services pursuant to its agreements with customers and collectability
is reasonably assured.
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 .
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842)” using a modified retrospective method. On adoption
we also applied the package of practical expedients to leases, where we are the lessee or lessor, that commenced before the effective
date whereby we elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the
lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases.
26
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 new 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
contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where we are the lessee, at the inception of a contract the Company assess
whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our 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. We allocate the consideration in the contract to
each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Leases entered into prior to January
1, 2019, are accounted for under ASC 840 and were not reassessed.
For
leases entered into on or after the effective date, where we are the lessor, at the inception of the contract we assess 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, we evaluate 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.
The
adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have a material impact on the operating leases where we are the lessor. We will continue to record
revenues from rental properties for our operating leases on a straight-line basis. For leases where we are a lessee, primarily
for our administrative office lease, we analyzed if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset
on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. Since the terms of the Company’s operating
lease for its office space is 12 months or less, pursuant to ASC 842, we determined that the lease meets the definition of a short-term
lease and we did not recognize the right-of use asset and lease liability arising from this lease.

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 September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1A. Risk Factors
Unfavorable
global economic, business or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our
results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets,
including conditions that are outside of our control, including the U.S. presidential election and the impact of health and safety
concerns, such as those relating to the current COVID-19 outbreak. The most recent global financial crisis caused extreme volatility
and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks
to our business, including weakened demand for our properties and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable
terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could strain our tenants, possibly resulting in delays in tenant payments. Any of
the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial
market conditions could adversely impact our business.
To
date, the COVID-19 outbreak has not had a material adverse impact on our operations. However, the future impact of the COVID-19
outbreak is highly uncertain, cannot be predicted and there is no assurance that the COVID-19 outbreak will not have a material
adverse impact on the future results of the Company. The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on future developments, including
actions taken to contain the coronavirus.
