BUSINESS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. As used in this annual report on Form 10-K and unless otherwise indicated, the terms the terms “Zoned Properties”, “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Zoned Properties, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Gilbert Property Management, LLC, Green Valley Group, LLC, Kingman Property Group, LLC, Chino Valley Properties, LLC, Zoned Oregon Properties, LLC, Zoned Colorado Properties, LLC, Zoned Illinois Properties, LLC, Zoned Arizona Properties, LLC, Zoned Advisory Services, LLC and Zoned Properties Brokerage, LLC, as the context may require. Overview 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 specialized real estate and sustainability services for clients in the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for real estate investments and revenue growth . We intend to pioneer sustainable development for emerging industries, including the regulated cannabis industry. We are an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council. We focus 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. We provide development strategies and advisory services that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. We do 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. ● Kingman Property Group, LLC (“Kingman”) was organized in the State of Arizona on April 15, 2014. ● Green Valley Group, LLC (“Green Valley”) organized in the State of Arizona on April 15, 2014. ● Zoned Oregon Properties, LLC was organized in the State of Oregon on June 16, 2015. ● Zoned Colorado Properties, LLC (“Zoned Colorado”) was organized in the State of Colorado on September 17, 2015. ● Zoned Illinois Properties, LLC was organized in the State of Illinois on July 15, 2015. ● Zoned Arizona Properties, LLC (“Zoned Arizona”) was organized in the State of Arizona on June 2, 2017. ● Zoned Advisory Services, LLC (“Zoned Advisory”) was organized in the State of Arizona on July 27, 2018. ● Zoned Properties Brokerage, LLC (“Zoned Brokerage”) was organized in the State of Arizona on March 17, 2021. 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. The Company did not experience in 2020, and does not foresee in 2021, 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. Our Business Zoned Properties is a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide specialized real estate and sustainability services for clients in the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for real estate investments and revenue growth . We intend to pioneer sustainable development for emerging industries, including the regulated cannabis industry. We are an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council. We focus 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. We provide development strategies and advisory services that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. We do not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis or any substances regulated under United States law such as the CSA. 1 We are in the process of developing and expanding multiple business divisions; including an advisory services division, a licensed commercial real estate brokerage division, a real estate division focused on franchise services, a real estate division focused on real estate data, 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. We believe 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 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 currently lease land and/or building space at all five 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. There are significant challenges that take place when zoning, permitting, and developing facilities that intend to operate within a regulated industry, including the regulated cannabis industry. Each state and local jurisdiction may adopt specific zoning and permitting regulations that may be unique compared to alternative jurisdictions. The Company has gained valuable knowledge and developed best practices in this area by successfully completing four major projects in the state of Arizona, a highly regulated market for the regulated cannabis industry. The Company intends to replicate this business model in other states as markets mature and rules and regulations are established. The process for obtaining zoning authorizations and permitting for a regulated cannabis facility can take several months to complete. The process primarily involves working directly with the local government representatives. Notwithstanding proper zoning and permitted use, we may work with local zoning authorities in order to revise zoning codes and regulations. The Company has been involved with local representatives for each of the properties currently held in our portfolio and on behalf of third-part client properties. For example, the Company worked directly with local representatives in Tempe, Arizona to update the local zoning code that regulates licensed cannabis facilities. The successfully adoption of these code amendments directly impact the continued development of any licensed cannabis facilities that operate within municipal limits. In the event a property is not currently zoned or does not currently allow permitted use as a regulated cannabis facility, we may work with local authorities to seek changes to existing zoning or permitted use. Our efforts may not be successful. For example, our property located in Gilbert, Arizona has not been successfully zoned and permitted for a prospective regulated cannabis facility nor has it been leased to a licensed cannabis operator. We may lease this property to a non-cannabis tenant in the interim or divest our ownership of the property entirely. The Company has established a network of experts in the fields of real estate, design, construction, operations, and corporate social responsibility in order to provide tenants and clients with comprehensive solutions to best meet their needs. We require our prospective tenants and clients to go through extensive due diligence in order to meet the Company’s standards as sophisticated and experienced operators. Our vision is to be recognized for setting the standard in sustainable development for emerging industries, while increasing community prosperity and shareholder value. We believe that a focus on real estate and the sustainable development of properties will bring value to the local communities in which we operate and to local stakeholders. While we intend to expand into a variety of emerging industries, our current focus is on developing projects within the regulated cannabis industry. We are the sole member of nine limited liability companies: Zoned Advisory Services, LLC (“Zoned Advisory Services”), Zoned Arizona Properties, LLC (“Zoned Arizona”), Gilbert Property Management LLC (“Gilbert Management”), Green Valley Group LLC (“Green Valley Group”), Kingman Property Group LLC (“Kingman Property”), Chino Valley Properties LLC (“Chino Valley Properties”), Zoned Colorado Properties LLC (“Zoned Colorado”), Zoned Illinois Properties LLC (“Zoned Illinois”), and Zoned Oregon Properties LLC (“Zoned Oregon”). Five of these entities own our properties: Zoned Arizona, Gilbert Management, Green Valley Group, Kingman Property, and Chino Valley Properties have all acquired land and/or real property. Multiple state-licensed operators from across the United States have approached Zoned Properties for strategic partnership and/or advisory services for development and prospective sale-lease back arrangements. We are continuously evaluating these projects as we seek development partnerships, prospective sale-lease back arrangements, and explore financing terms with capital funding sources. 2 We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from ancillary development opportunities that the regulated cannabis industry presents without having to deal with the risk of directly cultivating, distributing, or dispensing the product, which is still illegal under federal law. Our initial holdings and acquisition targets have been in the State of Arizona. Unlike many other states that have legalized and regulated cannabis, Arizona’s program has some of the strictest regulations in the country and limits the number of dispensaries that will be allowed to be open and operate within the state. While there are hundreds of dispensaries in Denver, Colorado, the entire state of Arizona can have a maximum of 130 operating dispensaries under current legislation. Two of our properties in Arizona (Kingman and Green Valley) are leased to licensed operators that have been awarded dispensary licenses. This limitation on the number of dispensaries permitted to operate in Arizona under current legislation will limit our ability to purchase additional property in Arizona for lease to dispensary operators. Recent Corporate History and Transactions On April 22, 2016, Zoned Colorado Properties, LLC (“Zoned Colorado”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate (the “Parachute Agreement”) with Parachute Development Corporation (“Seller”) pursuant to which Zoned Colorado agreed to purchase, and Seller agreed to sell, property in Parachute, Colorado (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $499,857. Of the total purchase price, $274,857, or 55%, was to be paid in cash at closing and $225,000, or 45%, was to be financed by Seller at an interest rate of 6.5%, amortized over a five-year period, with a balloon payment at the end of the fifth year. Pursuant to the terms of the Parachute Agreement, the parties cooperated in good faith to complete due diligence during a period of 45 days following execution of the Parachute Agreement. The closing was subject to certain contingencies, including that Zoned Colorado must obtain acceptable financing for the purchase and development of the Property, the grant of a special use permit by the Town of Parachute, approval of a protected development deal or equivalent agreement by the Town of Parachute, execution of a lease agreement by a prospective tenant and the prospective tenant’s obtaining a license to cultivate on the Property. Pursuant to the terms of the Parachute Agreement, Zoned Colorado had a right of first refusal on eleven additional lots owned by Seller in Parachute, Colorado. In April 2016, the Company paid a refundable deposit of $45,000 into escrow in connection with the Parachute Agreement. In January 2021, the Parachute Agreement was mutually terminated and the refundable deposit of $45,000 was returned to the Company. On May 1, 2018, Zoned Arizona, Green Valley Group, Kingman Property, and Chino Valley Properties executed lease agreements with our Significant Tenant at each of the respective properties. These locations generate rental revenue. The lease agreements have a 22-year term, expiring on April 30, 2040. Additionally, we own land located in Gilbert, Arizona that is leased as vacant land. The leases dated May 1, 2018, with Zoned Arizona, Green Valley Group, Kingman Property, and Chino Valley Properties each include a Guarantee of Payment and Performance by Mr. Abrams and the tenant organizations. Also on May 1, 2018, the Company entered into that certain Confidential Advisory Services Agreement by and between the Company and Broken Arrow Herbal Center, Inc. (“Broken Arrow”) (the “Broken Arrow CASA”), with a term expiring on April 30, 2040, unless earlier terminated as provided in the Broken Arrow CASA. Additionally, on May 1, 2018, the Company entered into that certain Confidential Advisory Services Agreement by and between the Company and CJK, Inc. (“CJK”) (the “CJK CASA”), with a term expiring on April 30, 2040, unless earlier terminated as provided in the CJK CASA. Each of the Broken Arrow CASA and the CJK CASA may be terminated prior to the expiration of the respective term upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) by the Company for any reason at any time upon 30 calendar days’ written notice to the other party; (b) by either party immediately upon the mutual agreement of the parties, evidenced by a writing signed by the parties; or (c) immediately by either party in the event of an actual finding, by a court of competent jurisdiction, of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the other party in connection with these agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Broken Arrow CASA and CJK CASA, Broken Arrow and CJK engaged the Company to perform certain advisory services in exchange for a fee equal to 10% of Broken Arrow’s and CJK’s gross revenues (the “Revenue Fee”), commencing January 2019. The Revenue Fee was to be paid on a monthly basis, no later than 30 calendar days following the end of the immediately preceding calendar month, and the amount of such monthly payment of the Revenue Fee is equal to the product of (a) 10%, multiplied by (b) the gross revenues of Broken Arrow or CJK, as the case may be, for such immediately preceding calendar month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the filing of the federal or state tax returns of Broken Arrow or CJK, as the case may be, (i) the advisory client shall calculate the Revenue Fee based on the amount of the advisory client’s gross revenue reported on such federal or state tax returns, and (ii), if the amount of such calculation is greater than the sum of all monthly Revenue Fees payable to the Company under the Broken Arrow CASA or the CJK CASA, as the case may be, the applicable advisory client is required to pay to the Company the amount of such difference, which amount is in addition to all monthly Revenue Fees due to the Company under the Broken Arrow CASA or the CJK CASA. Through December 31, 2018, each of Messrs. Abrams and Carra was a significant stockholder of the Company. 3 Effective January 1, 2019, the Company, Christopher Carra, Alan Abrams, Clayton Abrams Revocable Trust (the “Clayton Abrams Trust”), and Kyle Abrams Revocable Trust (the “Kyle Abrams Trust” and together with the Clayton Abrams Trust, the “Trusts”) entered into a Stock Redemption Agreement (the “Stock Redemption Agreement”). Prior to entry into the Stock Redemption Agreement, (i) Mr. Carra was the owner 2,028,335 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 11.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of January 1, 2019, and (ii) Mr. Abrams, together with the Trusts (collectively, the “Abrams Affiliates”), owned 3,611,669 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 20.7% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of January 1, 2019. Pursuant to SEC rules, each of Messrs. Carra and Abrams 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, the parties agreed that the Company would redeem an aggregate of 5,640,004 owned by Mr. Carra and the Abrams Affiliates (the “Stock Redemption”) such that Messrs. Carra and Abrams would no longer be stockholders of the Company and would no longer be deemed to be “related persons” under SEC rules. In exchange for the Stock Redemption, the parties agreed that: ● The Company and Broken Arrow, which was owned at the time of the transaction, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Messrs. Abrams and Carra, amended the Broken Arrow CASA to reduce the gross revenue fee payable by Broken Arrow from 10% of gross revenue to 0% of gross revenue, ● The Company and CJK, which was owned at the time of the transaction, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Messrs. Abrams and Carra, amended the CJK CASA to reduce the gross revenue fee payable by CJK from 10% of gross revenue to 0% of gross revenue, ● The Company and Mr. Abrams amended the convertible debenture dated January 9, 2017 (the “Abrams Debenture”) to extend the maturity date of the Abrams Debenture from January 9, 2022 until January 9, 2030, and ● Chino Valley and Broken Arrow amended the Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2018 (the “Chino Valley Lease”) to increase the monthly base rent payable by Broken Arrow from $35,000 to $40,000. Following effectiveness of the Stock Redemption and the transactions set forth above: ● Messrs. Carra and Abrams no longer beneficially own any shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, they are no longer be significant stockholders of the Company or “related persons” under the SEC rules. ● The Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2018 between Chino Valley and Broken Arrow continues in full force and effect, except as amended by the Chino Valley Lease Amendment to increase the monthly base rent payable by Broken Arrow from $35,000 to $40,000. ● The Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2018 between Green Valley and Broken Arrow continues in full force and effect. ● The Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement (concerning the Company’s Tempe, Arizona property) dated May 1, 2018 between Zoned Arizona and CJK continues in full force and effect. ● The Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2018 between Kingman and CJK continues in full force and effect. Chino Valley On May 29, 2020, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow entered into a second amendment to the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, as amended (the “2020 Chino Valley Amendment”), effective May 31, 2020 (“Effective Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Chino Valley Amendment, among other things, the base rent was adjusted to $32,800 per month, and the base rent was abated from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Any increase in the rentable area of the leased premises will result in an increase in all amounts calculated based on the same, including, without limitation, base rent. Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Chino Valley Amendment, the parties agreed that if there is any change in laws such that the dispensing, sale or cultivation of regulated cannabis upon the premises is prohibited or materially and adversely affected as mutually and reasonably determined by Chino Valley and Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow may terminate the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, as amended, by delivering written notice to Chino Valley, together with a termination payment which shall be the sum of (i) any unpaid rent and interest, plus (ii) 5% of the base rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the term. In addition, the parties agreed that from the period from the Effective Date to June 30, 2022 (the “Improvement Period”), Broken Arrow will and/or Broken Arrow will cause its affiliate, CJK, to invest a combined total of at least $8,000,000 of improvements (“Investment by Tenants”) in and to the property that is the subject of the Chino Valley Lease and the property that is the subject of the Tempe Lease (discussed below, and collectively referred to as the “Facilities”). If Broken Arrow and/or CJK fails to deliver to the Company receipted bills for hard and soft costs of improvements to the Facilities totaling at least $8,000,000 on or before June 30, 2022, Broken Arrow will be in default under the Chino Valley Lease and Tempe Lease, as amended.

The parties also agreed that if there is any change in laws such that the dispensing, sale or cultivation of cannabis upon the premises is prohibited or materially and adversely affected as mutually and reasonably determined by Green Valley and Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow may terminate the Green Valley Lease by delivering written notice to Green Valley, together with a termination payment which shall be the sum of (i) any unpaid rent and interest, plus (ii) 5% of the base rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the term. 4 Tempe On May 29, 2020, Zoned Arizona and CJK entered into the First Amendment (the “Tempe Amendment”) to the Tempe Lease, effective May 31, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Tempe Amendment, among other things, the base rent was increased to $49,200 per month, and the base rent was abated from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Any increase in the rentable area of the leased premises will result in an increase in all amounts calculated based on the same, including, without limitation, base rent. Pursuant to the terms of the Tempe Amendment, the parties agreed that if there is any change in laws such that the dispensing, sale or cultivation of cannabis upon the premises is prohibited or materially and adversely affected as mutually and reasonably determined by Zoned Arizona and CJK, CJK may terminate the Tempe Lease by delivering written notice to Zoned Arizona, together with a termination payment which shall be the sum of (i) any unpaid rent and interest, plus (ii) 5% of the base rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the term.

Kingman On May 29, 2020, Kingman and CJK entered into the First Amendment (the “Kingman Amendment”) to the Kingman Lease, effective May 31, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Kingman Amendment, among other things, the parties agreed to abate the $4,000 base rent from June 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020. In addition, the Kingman Amendment provides that any increase in the rentable area of the leases premises will result in an increase in all amounts calculated based on the same, including, without limitation, base rent. The parties also agreed that if there is any change in laws such that the dispensing, sale or cultivation of cannabis upon the premises is prohibited or materially and adversely affected as mutually and reasonably determined by Kingman and CJK, CJK may terminate the Kingman Lease by delivering written notice to Kingman, together with a termination payment which shall be the sum of (i) any unpaid rent and interest, plus (ii) 5% of the base rent which would have been earned after termination for the balance of the term. CJK and Broken Arrow, together, operate under the company brand, “Hana Meds”, and are referred to as the Company’s Significant Tenants. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, rental and advisory revenue associated with the Significant Tenants amounted to $1,176,666 and $1,146,654, which represents 96.8% and 91.0% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had an asset concentration related to the Significant Tenants. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Significant Tenants represented approximately 83.2% and 87.1% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. KCB Jade Holdings, LLC Investment 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 “Original Debenture”) dated March 19, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”) in the original principal amount of $100,000. The Original 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 Original 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 Original Debenture at any point after 18 months following the Issuance Date, in whole or in part. However, if KCB elects to prepay the Original Debenture prior to the Maturity Date or prior to any conversion as provided in the Original 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 Original 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 Original Debenture. Conversion rights terminate upon acceptance by the Company of payment in full of principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due under the Original Debenture. 5 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 Original 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. For purposes of the Original Debenture, an “Event of Default” will be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) KCB fails to make any payment of the principal, interest, costs, indemnities, or expenses pursuant to the Original Debenture when and as the same shall become due and payable; (b) There occurs any default, whether in whole or in part, in the due observance or performance of any obligations or other covenants, terms or provisions to be performed by KCB under the Original Debenture or any of the representations and warranties of KCB ceases to be true and correct in all respects; (c) KCB makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (d) KCB applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator, liquidator or similar official for itself or any of its assets and properties; (e) KCB voluntarily commences any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, general assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, the “Debtor Relief Laws”); (f) An involuntary proceeding is commenced or an involuntary petition is filed against KCB seeking (1) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of KCB or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Debtor Relief Law, or (2) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator, liquidator or similar official for itself or any of its assets and properties; (g) KCB consents to the institution of or fails to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (f) above. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Original Debenture, and all other obligations of KCB under the Original 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 Original 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. The Original Debenture contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of KCB. On February 19, 2021, after the end of the 2020 fiscal year, the Company 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 same date (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. 6 Gilbert Commercial Lease On March 3, 2021, subsequent to the 2020 fiscal year end, Gilbert Property Management, LLC (“Gilbert”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zoned Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into that certain Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Lease”), dated as of February 26, 2021, between Gilbert and AZ2CAL Enterprises, LLC (the “Tenant”). Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Gilbert agreed to rent the property located at 988 S. 182 nd Place, Gilbert, AZ (the “Property”) to the Tenant for a term of 24 months, from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2023, for monthly rent of $2,750; provided, however, that no rent is due for the month of April 2021. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the Tenant has an option to purchase the Property (the “Option”) that can be exercised any time after the fourth month of the lease term, but no later than the end of the 12 th month of the lease term. The purchase price of the Property would be $335,000. If the Tenant exercises its Option, $750 of each lease payment made prior to close of escrow, along with the security deposit will be credited toward the purchase price of the Property. If the Tenant exercises its Option, close of escrow will occur no later than 30 days after opening of escrow. The parties agreed to make every reasonable attempt to fully execute a purchase contract within seven business days of the Tenant’s notice of its desire to exercise the Option. Clients We target clients who require assistance with the identification and development of regulated cannabis properties. Our ideal prospective clients will have a commitment to sophisticated, safe, and sustainable project development. The most significant barrier to success for many industry operators and prospective clients includes distractions from primary business operations. These distractions often include services related to the identification, zoning, permitting, and development of real estate. We complete significant due diligence on prospective tenants and prospective clients regardless of industry focus. Credit-worthiness, character, and cash flows are all important traits that contribute to a sophisticated client for the Company. Marketing Currently, the Company does not actively market its services using any direct marketing campaigns. Industry reputation, word-of-mouth, and networking are the primary tools used to complete the marketing of our services. We maintain an updated website, shareholder presentation, and profile outlining the Company’s services. These tools are created for transparency of operations and activities. Our executive management believes the reputation of having integrity is an essential tool for marketing and business development. Competition The commercial real estate market is highly competitive. We believe finding properties that are zoned for the specific use of allowing regulated cannabis operations may be limited as more competitors enter the market. Several competitors have recently entered the marketplace. We face significant competition from a diverse mix of market participants, including but not limited to, other public companies with similar business models, independent investors, hedge funds and other real estate investors, hard money lenders, as well as would be clients, regulated cannabis operators themselves, all of whom, who may compete against us in our efforts to acquire real estate zoned for cannabis grow and retail operations. In some instances, we will be competing to acquire real estate with persons who have no interest in the regulated cannabis business, but have identified value in a piece of real estate that we may be interested in acquiring. Government Regulation Real Estate & General Business Regulations We are subject to applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws and to regulations specifically governing the real estate industry, including those governing fair housing and federally backed mortgage programs. Our operations will also be subject to regulations normally incident to business operations, such as occupational safety and health acts, workmen’s compensation statutes, unemployment insurance legislation and income tax and social security related regulations. Although we will use our best efforts to comply with applicable regulations, we can provide no assurance of our ability to do so, nor can we fully predict the effect of these regulations on our proposed activities. In addition, zoning commercial properties for specific purposes, such as regulated cannabis dispensaries or cultivation facilities, is subject to specific regulations to the zoning requirements for the city, county and state related to any regulated cannabis facility. We expect regulations to get tighter as time goes on. Federal and State Regulation of Cannabis The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use for medicinal purposes. 7 The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) defines Schedule I drugs, substances or chemicals as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified form of the drug CBD, a non-psychoactive ingredient in the cannabis plant, for the treatment of seizures associated with two epilepsy conditions. The FDA has not approved cannabis or cannabis compounds as a safe and effective drug for any other condition. Moreover, pursuant to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “Farm Bill”), CBD remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA, with a narrow exception for CBD derived from hemp with a tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) concentration of less than 0.3%. The Company maintains its operations so as to remain in compliance with the CSA. Even in those jurisdictions in which the manufacture and use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, the possession, use and cultivation all remain violations of federal law that are punishable by imprisonment and substantial fines, and the prescription of marijuana is a violation of federal law. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they intentionally aid and abet another in violating these federal controlled substance laws, or conspire with another to violate them. The inconsistencies between federal and state regulation of cannabis were addressed in a memorandum (the “Cole Memo”) which then-Deputy Attorney General James Cole sent to all U.S. District Attorneys in 2013 outlining certain priorities for the DOJ relating to the prosecution of cannabis offenses. The Cole Memo acknowledged that, notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level, several states had enacted laws authorizing the use of cannabis for medical purposes. The Cole Memo noted that jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing cannabis in some form have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, processing, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis. As such, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to implicate the Cole Memo’s enforcement priorities. The DOJ did not provide (and has not provided since) specific guidelines for what regulatory and enforcement systems would be deemed sufficient under the Cole Memo. In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Cole Memo concluded that the DOJ should be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis, such as distribution of cannabis from states where cannabis is legal to those where cannabis is illegal, the diversion of cannabis revenues to illicit drug cartels and sales of cannabis to minors. On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a new memorandum which rescinded the Cole Memo (the “Sessions Memo”). The Sessions Memo stated, in part, that current law reflects “Congress’ determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug and cannabis activity is a serious crime,” and Mr. Sessions directed all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress by following well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to cannabis activities. The Company is not aware of any prosecutions of investment companies doing routine business with licensed marijuana related businesses in light of the DOJ position following issuance of the Sessions Memo. However, there can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce federal laws relating to cannabis in the future. As a result of the Sessions Memo, federal prosecutors are now free to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities, despite the existence of state-level laws that may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions. No direction was given to federal prosecutors in the Sessions Memo as to the priority they should ascribe to such cannabis activities, and thus it is uncertain how active U.S. federal prosecutors will be in relation to such activities. Federal prosecutors appear to continue to use the Cole Memo’s priorities as an enforcement guide. Merrick Garland, who became Attorney General on March 10, 2021 has indicated that he would deprioritize enforcement of low-level cannabis crimes such as possession, and has shared his view that the government should focus on large-scale criminal enterprises that circumvent state legalization laws instead of going after people who abide by local cannabis policies. The Company believes it is too soon to determine what prosecutorial effects will be created by the rescission of the Cole Memo or any replacement thereof and when or if the Sessions Memo will be rescinded. President Joseph R. Biden, who assumed office in January 2021, has not yet indicated whether and when he will decriminalize or legalize cannabis and has previously stated that he is opposed to legalization. The sheer size of the cannabis industry, in addition to participation by state and local governments and investors, suggests that a large-scale federal enforcement operation would more than likely create unwanted political backlash for the DOJ and the current administration. It is also possible that the change of Congressional leadership in January 2021 could change the priorities of Congress and encourage reconciliation of federal and state laws. Regardless, at this time, cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level. The U.S. federal government has always reserved the right to enforce federal law in regard to the sale and disbursement of medical or adult use cannabis, even if state law authorizes such sale and disbursement. It is unclear whether the risk of enforcement has been altered. One legislative safeguard for the medical cannabis industry, appended to the federal budget bill, remains in place following the rescission of the Cole Memo. For fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, Congress adopted a so-called “rider” provision to the Consolidated Appropriations Acts (formerly referred to as the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment and currently referred to as the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment) to prevent the federal government from using congressionally appropriated funds to enforce federal cannabis laws against regulated medical cannabis actors operating in compliance with state and local law. The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was included in the fiscal year 2018 budget passed on March 23, 2018. The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was included in the consolidated appropriations bill signed into legislation by former President Trump in February 2019. In signing the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment, former President Trump issued a signing statement noting that the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment “provides that the Department of Justice may not use any funds to prevent implementation of medical marijuana laws by various States and territories,” and further stating “I will treat this provision consistent with the President’s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.” On June 20, 2019, the House approved a broader amendment that, in addition to protecting state medical cannabis programs, would also protect state adult use programs. On September 26, 2019, the Senate Appropriations Committee declined to take up the broader amendment but did approve the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment for the fiscal year 2020 spending bill. On September 27, 2019, the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was renewed as part of a stopgap spending bill, in effect through November 21, 2019, and was then renewed through a series of stopgap spending bills passed in 2020. On December 27, 2020, the amendment was renewed through the signing of the fiscal year 2021 omnibus spending bill, effective through September 30, 2021. Despite the rescission of the Cole Memo, the DOJ appears to continue to adhere to the enforcement priorities set forth in the Cole Memo. 8 The Cole Memo and the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment gave licensed cannabis operators (particularly medical cannabis operators) and investors in states with legal regimes greater certainty regarding the DOJ’s enforcement priorities and the risk of operating cannabis businesses. While the Sessions Memo has introduced some uncertainty regarding federal enforcement, the cannabis industry continues to experience growth in legal medical and adult use markets across the United States. Vice President Kamala Harris is the lead sponsor of the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act, which seeks to end the federal prohibition of marijuana, among other things, but in March 2020, it was reported that Vice President Harris has adopted the same position as President Biden, who opposes legalization. Currently, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will remain in place or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. Unless and until the U.S. Congress amends the CSA with respect to cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law criminalizing cannabis. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, and federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use, cannabis is largely regulated at the state level. State laws that permit and regulate the production, distribution and use of cannabis for adult use or medical purposes are in direct conflict with the CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical and/or adult use cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under federal law under any and all circumstances under the CSA. Although the Company’s activities are believed to be compliant with applicable state and local laws, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor may it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. As of December 31, 2020, 35 states, plus the District of Columbia (and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands), have legalized the cultivation and sale of cannabis for medical purposes. In 15 of those states, the sale and possession of cannabis is legal for both medical and adult use, and the District of Columbia has legalized adult use but not commercial sale. In November 2020, voters in Arizona, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota voted by referendum to legalize cannabis for adult use, and voters in Mississippi and South Dakota voted to legalized cannabis for medical use, and in February 2021, the Virginia legislature approved a bill that would legalize cannabis for adult use beginning in 2024. The Virginia bill is awaiting signature by the governor, and if signed, Virginia will be the first southern state to legalize cannabis for adult use. Also in February 2021, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed three bills into law that legalize cannabis for adult use. In addition, in November 2010, Arizona voters passed the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (“AMMA”). The AMMA designates the Arizona Department of Health Services (“ADHS”) as the licensing authority for the program. ADHS is tasked with issuing Registry Identification Cards (“RIC”) to qualifying patients, designated caregivers, and dispensary agents, as well as selecting, registering, and providing oversight for nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries. With permission from ADHS, qualifying patients or their caregivers may cultivate marijuana if the patient lives more than 25 miles from a dispensary. Qualifying patients can legally possess and purchase medical marijuana under Arizona law as long as they hold a RIC. They acquire their medicine from non-profit medical marijuana dispensaries. These dispensaries acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture, deliver, transfer, transport, supply, sell, and dispense medical marijuana. Arizona is divided into 126 Community Health Assessment Areas (each, a “CHAA”) and each CHAA may only have one dispensary located within it. Dispensaries are the only place patients are legally allowed to purchase medical marijuana in Arizona. Arizona law permits the number of CHAAs to change based on the number of registered pharmacies in Arizona. In order to operate, a dispensary must have a Dispensary Registration Certificate and Approval to Operate Certificate from ADHS. The first dispensaries began operation in 2012, and it is anticipated that at maturity, there will be about 112 dispensaries statewide - one in each CHAA not part of one of Arizona’s Native American Indian Reservations. We will continue to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis in accordance with our compliance program and standard operating procedures. While our operations are in full compliance with all applicable state laws, regulations and licensing requirements, such activities remain illegal under federal law. For the reasons described above and the risks further described in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” there are significant risks associated with our business. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by marijuana-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statute and the Bank Secrecy Act. Previous guidance issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“FinCEN”), clarifies how financial institutions can provide services to marijuana-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. Prior to the DOJ’s announcement in 2018 of the rescission of the Cole Memo and related memoranda, supplemental guidance from the DOJ directed federal prosecutors to consider the federal enforcement priorities enumerated in the Cole Memo when determining whether to charge institutions or individuals with any of the financial crimes described above based upon marijuana-related activity. 9 Consequently, those businesses involved in the marijuana industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing banking relationships, which may increase over time. Our inability to maintain our current bank accounts would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan. The inability of our current and potential tenants to open accounts and continue using the services of banks will limit their ability to enter into triple-net lease arrangements with us or may result in their default under our lease agreements, either of which could materially harm our business and the trading price of our securities. Local, state and federal marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on its operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our proposed business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. Employees As of December 31, 2020, we had one full-time employee, our chief executive officer, and multiple part-time employees who operate as independent contractors of the Company. We have established an extensive network of external partners, contractors, and consultants to which we outsource various operational tasks in an effort to minimize administrative overhead and maximize efficiency. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should not invest in our stock unless you are able to bear the complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as other information provided to you in this annual report on Form 10-K, including information in “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” before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing Zoned Properties. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry Because we have limited operating history in the real estate industry, we may not succeed. We have limited operating history or experience in procuring, building out or leasing real estate for agricultural purposes, specifically medical marijuana grow facilities, or with respect to any other activity in the cannabis industry. Moreover, we are subject to all risks inherent in a developing a new business enterprise. Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with establishing a new business and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate. For example, the regulated cannabis industry is new and may not succeed, particularly should the federal government change course and decide to prosecute those dealing in medical marijuana. If that happens there may not be an adequate market for our properties or other activities we propose to engage in. You should further consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses, delays and or complications with build outs, zoning issues, legal disputes with neighbors, local governments, communities and or tenants. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment. We may be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not successfully raise additional capital. We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings, as well as obtain credit from vendors to be able to fully execute our business plan. If we cannot raise additional capital, we may be otherwise unable to achieve our goals or continue our property development. While we believe that we will be able to raise the capital we need to continue our operations, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in these efforts or will be able to resolve any liquidity issues or eliminate our operating losses. In addition, any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute your ownership interest. We may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds or credit from our vendors, we may be unable to execute our business plan and you could lose your investment. 10 Because we may be unable to identify and or successfully acquire properties which are suitable for our business, our financial condition may be negatively affected. Our business plan involves the identification and the successful acquisition of properties, which are zoned for medical cannabis businesses, including cultivation and retail. The properties we acquire will be leased to regulated cannabis operators. Local governments must approve and adopt zoning ordinances for medical cannabis facilities and retail dispensaries. A lack of properly zoned real estate may reduce our prospects and limit our opportunity for growth and or increase the cost at which suitable properties are available to us. Conversely a surplus of real estate zoned for medical cannabis establishments may reduce demand and prices we are able to charge for properties we may have previously acquired. In addition, some jurisdictions, such as Arizona, impose limits on the number of medical cannabis dispensaries that will be permitted to operate within designated geographic areas. Such limitations inherently place constraints on the number of properties we acquire for lease to operators in the cannabis industry. If we fail to diversify our property portfolio or advisory and real estate services offered, downturns relating to certain industries or business sectors or the financial stability of our significant tenants may have a significant adverse impact on our assets and our ability to pay our operating expenses or pay dividends than if we had a diversified property portfolio and service offerings. While we intend to diversify our portfolio of properties, we are not required to observe specific diversification criteria. Therefore, our total assets are concentrated into a limited number of tenants who were considered related parties through December 31, 2018 and are considered Significant Tenets thereafter. To the extent that our total assets are concentrated in a limited number of tenants that are in the regulated cannabis industry, downturns relating generally to such industry or business sector, or a decline in the financial stability of our Significant Tenants may result in defaults on all of our leases within a short time period, which may reduce our net income and the value of our common stock and accordingly, limit our ability to pay or operating expenses or pay dividends to our stockholders. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had an asset concentration related to our Significant Tenant leases at our Tempe, Chino Valley, Green Valley and Kingman, Arizona properties. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, these Significant tenants represented approximately 83.2% and 87.1% of total assets, respectively. If our tenants are prohibited from operating 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 foot that may be less than our current rate per square foot. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in the medical cannabis industry could adversely affect our operating results and our ability to collect rent from out tenants, pay our operating expenses or pay dividends to our stockholders. As included in exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 to this report, we have included audited financial statements of our Significant Tenants since they represent material information and are necessary for the protection of investors. Because our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by our tenants’ consumers, any negative trends will adversely affect our business operations. Out tenants are substantially dependent on continued market acceptance and proliferation of consumers of regulated cannabis. We believe that as cannabis becomes more accepted, the stigma associated with cannabis use will diminish and as a result, consumer demand will continue to grow. And while we believe that the market and opportunity in the cannabis space continues to grow, we cannot predict the future growth rate and size of the market. Any negative outlook on the cannabis industry will adversely affect our tenants’ business operations and their ability to pay rent to us. In addition, it is believed by many that large well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the cannabis industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly does not want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. For example, medical cannabis will likely adversely impact the existing market for the current “marijuana pill” sold by the mainstream pharmaceutical industry, should cannabis displace other drugs or encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry’s products. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical cannabis movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical could make in halting the impending cannabis industry could have a detrimental impact on our proposed business. Because we buy and lease property, we will be subject to general real estate risks. We will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including: (a) changes in general economic or local conditions; (b) changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties in the area; (c) bankruptcies, financial difficulties or defaults by tenants or other parties; (d) increases in operating costs, such as taxes and insurance; (e) the inability to achieve full stabilized occupancy at rental rates adequate to produce targeted returns; (f) periods of high interest rates and tight money supply; (g) excess supply of rental properties in the market area; (h) liability for uninsured losses resulting from natural disasters or other perils; (i) liability for environmental hazards; and (j) changes in tax, real estate, environmental, zoning or other laws or regulations. For these and other reasons, no assurance can be given that we will be profitable. 11 Our growth depends on external sources of capital, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all. In addition, banks and other financial institutions may be reluctant to enter into lending transactions with us, including secured lending, because our properties are used in the cannabis industry. If this source of funding is unavailable to us, our growth may be limited and our business may be materially adversely affected. Our ability to acquire, operate and sell properties, engage in the business activities that we have planned and achieve positive financial performance depends, in large measure, on our ability to obtain financing in amounts and on terms that are favorable. The capital markets in the United States in general, and in the cannabis sector in particular, have undergone a turbulent period in which lending was severely restricted. Although there appear to be signs that financial institutions are resuming lending, the market has not yet returned to its pre-2008 state. The cannabis sector experienced significant volatility in 2019 and 2020 and such volatility is expected to continue in 2021. Obtaining favorable financing in the current environment remains challenging. In order to grow our business, we may seek financing through newly issued equity or debt. We may not be in a position to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities for growth if we are unable, due to global or regional economic uncertainty, changes in the state or federal regulatory environment relating to the medical-use cannabis industry, changes in market conditions for the regulated cannabis industry, our own operating or financial performance or otherwise, to access capital markets on a timely basis and on favorable terms, or at all. Our access to capital will depend upon a number of factors over which we have little or no control, including general market conditions and the market’s perception of our current and potential future earnings. If general economic instability or downturn, or volatility within the cannabis sector, leads to an inability to borrow at attractive rates or at all, our ability to obtain capital could be negatively impacted. In addition, banks and other financial institutions may be reluctant to enter into lending transactions with us, particularly secured lending, because our properties are used in the cultivation, production or dispensing of medical-use cannabis. If this source of funding is unavailable to us, our growth may be limited and our business may be materially adversely affected. If we are unable to obtain capital on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, we likely will have to curtail operations and reduce the number of properties we purchase in the future. In addition, our ability to refinance all or any debt we may incur in the future, on acceptable terms or at all, is subject to all of the above factors, and will also be affected by our future financial position, results of operations and cash flows, which additional factors are also subject to significant uncertainties, and therefore we may be unable to refinance any debt we may incur in the future, as it matures, on acceptable terms or at all. All of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. In addition, securities clearing firms may refuse to accept deposits of our securities, which may negatively impact the trading of our securities and have a material adverse impact on our ability to obtain capital. Because we will compete with others for suitable properties, competition will result in higher costs that could materially affect our financial condition. We will experience competition for real estate investments from individuals, corporations and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of whom have greater financial resources than us. Competition for investments may have the effect of increasing costs and reducing returns to our investors. Because we are liable for hazardous substances on our properties, environmental liabilities are possible and can be costly. Federal, state and local laws impose liability on a landowner for releases or the otherwise improper presence on the premises of hazardous substances. This liability is without regard to fault for, or knowledge of, the presence of such substances. A landowner may be held liable for hazardous materials brought onto a property before it acquired title and for hazardous materials that are not discovered until after it sells the property. Similar liability may occur under applicable state law. Sellers of properties may make only limited representations as to the absence of hazardous substances. If any hazardous materials are found within our properties in violation of law at any time, we may be liable for all cleanup costs, fines, penalties and other costs. This potential liability will continue after we sell the properties and may apply to hazardous materials present within the properties before we acquire the properties. If losses arise from hazardous substance contamination, which cannot be recovered from a responsible party, the financial viability of the properties may be adversely affected. It is possible that we will purchase properties with known or unknown environmental problems, which may require material expenditures for remediation. Because we may not be adequately insured, we could experience significant liability for uninsured events. While our tenants currently carry comprehensive insurance on our properties, including fire, liability and extended coverage insurance, there are certain risks that may be uninsurable or not insurable on terms that management believes to be economical. For example, management may not obtain insurance against floods, terrorism, mold-related claims, or earthquake insurance. If such an event occurs to, or causes the damage or destruction of, a property, we could suffer financial losses. If we are found non-compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, we will be subject to significant liabilities. If any of our properties are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”), we may be required to pay for any required improvements. Under the ADA, public accommodations must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA requirements could require significant expenditures and could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. We cannot assure that ADA violations do not or will not exist at any of our properties. 12 Our inability to effectively manage our growth could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition . Our strategy envisions growing our business. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems. As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. We also will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention. We cannot assure you that we will be able to: ● expand our business effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner; ● allocate our human resources optimally; ● meet our capital needs; ● identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or ● effectively incorporate the components of any business or product line that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth. Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. 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 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. We will be required to attract and retain top quality talent to compete in the marketplace. We believe our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, sales and marketing, and finance personnel. There can be no assurance of success in attracting and retaining such personnel. Shortages in qualified personnel could limit our ability to compete in the marketplace. We are dependent on Bryan McLaren, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board, and the loss of this officer could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner. In view of his direct relationships with industry partners that directly contribute to our business development strategy, our success depends substantially upon the continued services of Mr. McLaren. In January 2019, we purchased a one-year key person life insurance policy on Mr. McLaren with a base coverage amount of $8,000,000 renewable annually at a 10-year fixed guaranteed premium. The policy was renewed in January 2021. The loss of Mr. McLaren’s services could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Risks Related to Government Regulation Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and therefore, strict enforcement of federal laws regarding marijuana would likely result in our inability and the inability of our tenants to execute our respective business plans. Marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA. Even in those jurisdictions in which the manufacture and use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, the possession, use and cultivation all remain violations of federal law that are punishable by imprisonment and substantial fines, and the prescription of marijuana is a violation of federal law. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they intentionally aid and abet another in violating these federal controlled substance laws or conspire with another to violate them. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers’ Coop. and Gonzales v. Raich that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize marijuana, even for medical purposes. We would likely be unable to execute our business plan if the federal government were to strictly enforce federal law regarding marijuana. On January 4, 2018, then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued the Sessions Memo, rescinding the Cole Memo and related internal guidance issued by the DOJ regarding federal law enforcement priorities involving marijuana. 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.” 13 Federal prosecutors appear to continue to use the Cole Memo’s priorities as an enforcement guide. Attorney General Merrick Garland has indicated that he would deprioritize enforcement of low-level cannabis crimes such as possession, and has shared his view that the government should focus on large-scale criminal enterprises that circumvent state legalization laws instead of going after people who abide by local cannabis policies. The Company believes, however, it is too soon to determine what prosecutorial effects will be created by the rescission of the Cole Memo or any replacement thereof and when or if the Sessions Memo will be rescinded. At this time, cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level. The U.S. federal government has always reserved the right to enforce federal law in regard to the sale and disbursement of medical or adult use cannabis, even if state law authorizes such sale and disbursement. It is unclear whether the risk of enforcement has been altered. It is unclear at this time what impact the Sessions Memo will have on the medical-use marijuana industry. One legislative safeguard for the medical cannabis industry, appended to the federal budget bill, remains in place following the rescission of the Cole Memo. For fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, Congress adopted a so-called “rider” provision to the Consolidated Appropriations Acts (formerly referred to as the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment and currently referred to as the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment) to prevent the federal government from using congressionally appropriated funds to enforce federal cannabis laws against regulated medical cannabis actors operating in compliance with state and local law. On September 27, 2019, the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was renewed as part of a stopgap spending bill, in effect through November 21, 2019, and was then renewed through a series of stopgap spending bills passed in 2020. On December 27, 2020, the amendment was renewed through the signing of the fiscal year 2021 omnibus spending bill, effective through September 30, 2021. Despite the rescission of the Cole Memo, the DOJ appears to continue to adhere to the enforcement priorities set forth in the Cole Memo. Federal prosecutors have significant discretion, however, and no assurance can be given that the federal prosecutor in each judicial district where we own a property will not choose to strictly enforce the federal laws governing marijuana production or distribution. Any change in the federal government’s enforcement posture with respect to state-licensed cultivation of medical-use cannabis, including the enforcement postures of individual federal prosecutors in judicial districts where we own or may purchase properties, would result in our inability to execute our business plan, and we would likely suffer significant losses with respect to our investment in marijuana facilities in the United States, which would adversely affect the trading price of our securities. Furthermore, following any such change in the federal government’s enforcement position, we could be subject to criminal prosecution, which could lead to imprisonment and/or the imposition of penalties, fines, or forfeiture. Owners of properties located in close proximity to our properties may assert claims against us regarding the use of the property as a marijuana dispensary or marijuana cultivation and processing facility, which if successful, could materially and adversely affect our business. Owners of properties located in close proximity to our properties may assert claims against us regarding the use of our properties as cannabis dispensaries or for cannabis cultivation and processing, including assertions that the use of the property constitutes a nuisance that diminishes the market value of such owner’s nearby property. Such property owners may also attempt to assert such a claim in federal court as a civil matter under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. If a property owner were to assert such a claim against us, we may be required to devote significant resources and costs to defending ourselves against such a claim, and if a property owner were to be successful on such a claim, our tenants may be unable to continue to operate their business in its current form at the property, which could materially adversely impact the tenant’s business and the value of our property, our business and financial results and the trading price of our securities. We and our tenants may have difficulty accessing the services of banks, which may make it difficult to contract for real estate needs. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by cannabis and cannabis-related conduct can form the basis for prosecution under the federal money laundering statutes, unlicensed money transmitter statute and the Bank Secrecy Act. Previous guidance issued by FinCEN clarifies how financial institutions can provide services to marijuana-related businesses consistent with their obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act. Prior to the DOJ’s announcement in 2018 of the rescission of the Cole Memo and related memoranda, supplemental guidance from the DOJ directed federal prosecutors to consider the federal enforcement priorities enumerated in the Cole Memo when determining whether to charge institutions or individuals with any of the financial crimes described above based upon marijuana-related activity. It is unclear what impact the rescission of the Cole Memo will have, but federal prosecutors may increase enforcement activities against institutions or individuals that are conducting financial transactions related to marijuana activities. The increased uncertainty surrounding financial transactions related to marijuana activities may also result in financial institutions discontinuing services to the marijuana industry. Consequently, those businesses involved in the marijuana industry continue to encounter difficulty establishing banking relationships, which may increase over time. Our inability to maintain our current bank accounts would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges and could result in our inability to implement our business plan. The inability of our current and potential tenants to open accounts and continue using the services of banks will limit their ability to enter into triple-net lease arrangements with us or may result in their default under our lease agreements, either of which could materially harm our business and the trading price of our securities. 14 Laws and regulations affecting the regulated cannabis and marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could materially adversely affect our operations, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us. Local, state and federal marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on its operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our proposed business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business. FDA regulation of marijuana and the possible registration of facilities where medical marijuana is grown could negatively affect the marijuana industry, which would directly affect our financial condition. Should the federal government legalize marijuana for medical use, it is possible that the FDA would seek to regulate it under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including cGMPs (certified good manufacturing practices) related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of medical marijuana. Clinical trials may be needed to verify efficacy and safety. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where medical marijuana is grown be registered with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the medical marijuana industry, what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we or our tenants are unable to comply with the regulations and or registration as prescribed by the FDA, we and or our tenants may be unable to continue to operate their and our business in its current form or at all. Risks Related to Our Common Stock Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, which may limit the liquidity and price of our common stock more than if our common stock were listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or another national exchange. Our securities are currently quoted on the OTCQB, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities. Quotation of our securities on the OTCQB may limit the liquidity and price of our securities more than if our securities were listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) or another national exchange. As an OTCQB company, we do not attract the extensive analyst coverage that accompanies companies listed on national securities exchanges. Further, institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict or prohibit investing in securities traded on the OTCQB. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock. The trading price of our common stock may decrease due to factors beyond our control. The stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for smaller reporting companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of their common stock in the public market, the price of our common stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity-related securities, in the future at a price we deem appropriate. The market price of our common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control: ● variations in our quarterly operating results, ● changes in general economic conditions and in the real estate industry, ● changes in market valuations of similar companies, ● announcements by us or our competitors of significant new contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or capital commitments, ● loss of a major customer, partner or joint venture participant and ● the addition or loss of key managerial and collaborative personnel. Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss. 15 The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you. The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price. Our preferred stockholders together have voting control, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control. Each of our preferred stockholders beneficially owns 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock entitles the holder to 50 votes per share. In contrast, each share of our common stock has one vote per share. Each of our two preferred stockholders holds approximately 46.1% and 45.7% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, respectively. Because of the 50-to-1 voting ratio between our preferred stock and our common stock, our preferred stockholders together control a majority of the combined voting power of our capital stock and therefore are able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. The preferred stockholders may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock. We may face continuing challenges in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any failure to comply or any adverse result from management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse effect on our stock price. As a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Section 404 requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The report must include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. Failure to comply, or any adverse results from such evaluation, could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the trading price of our equity securities. Management concluded that our internal controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020 were not effective. Management realizes there are deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control that adversely affect our internal controls, and management considers such deficiencies to be material weaknesses. As of the end of our fiscal year, management had identified the following material weaknesses: ● we had not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls; ● we had not implemented adequate system and manual controls; and ● we did not have sufficient segregation of duties. Achieving continued compliance with Section 404 may require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with Section 404 or that we will be able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective at fiscal year-end. As a result, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our securities. We have never paid dividends on our common stock, and cannot guarantee that we will pay dividends to our stockholders in the future. We have never paid dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain our future earnings, if any, in order to reinvest in the development and growth of our business and, therefore, do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. However, in the future, our board of directors may declare dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, investors may need to sell their shares of our common stock to realize a return on their investment, and they may not be able to sell such shares at or above the price paid for them. We cannot guarantee that we will pay dividends to our stockholders in the future. 16 Our common stock is a “penny stock” under SEC rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as “penny stock.” Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Unless we maintain a per-share price above $5.00, these rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as “established customers” or “accredited investors.” For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Legal remedies available to an investor in “penny stocks” may include the following: ● If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment. ● If a “penny stock” is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages. However, investors who have signed arbitration agreements may have to pursue their claims through arbitration. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that is or becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock. Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments. For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance that our common stock will not be classified as a “penny stock” in the future. Rule 144 Related Risks Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months is entitled to sell his or her securities provided that: (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following: ● 1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding; or ● the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale; provided , in each case that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale. Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144. 17 In addition, as a former shell company, we are subject to additional restrictions. Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, shell companies, such as Zoned Properties. Rule 144 is not available for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met: ● The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company, ● The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, ● The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than current reports on Form 8-K, and ● At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS This Item 1B is not applicable to smaller reporting companies. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal executive office is currently located at 14269 N. 87th Street, #205, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. Effective April 1, 2019, we extended our one-year operating lease for our office space in Scottsdale, Arizona to end on March 31, 2020. The annual base rent increased from $7,800 to $9,107. On July 16, 2019, we added additional office space and our monthly base rent increased to $1,325 per month. On March 6, 2020, we extended our lease for twelve months to end on March 31, 2021 at an annual base rent of $16,695. On March 17, 2021, we extended our lease for twelve months to end on March 31, 2022 at an annual base rent of $17,583. We are in the business of property acquisition, development, and commercial leasing and intend to primarily structure lease agreements with prospective tenants using a triple-net lease model. The property portfolio currently includes (i) land and real property constructed in Green Valley, Arizona, (ii) land and real property in Kingman, Arizona, (iii) vacant land in Gilbert, Arizona, (iv) land and real property in Tempe Arizona, and (v) land and real property of approximately 47 acres in Chino Valley, Arizona. The properties in Tempe, Green Valley, Kingman, and Chino Valley, Arizona are currently leasing space to tenants that operate licensed medical cannabis facilities. We lease our vacant land in Gilbert, Arizona to a third party. Each of these leased properties is generating revenue to date. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no pending or threatened legal or administrative actions pending or threatened against us that we believe would have a material effect on our business. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable. 18 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, operated by the OTC Markets Group, under the symbol “ZDPY.” Trading in OTCQB stocks can be volatile, sporadic and risky, as thinly traded stocks tend to move more rapidly in price than more liquid securities. Such trading may also depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their common stock. The following table reflects the high and low closing price for our common stock for the period indicated. The bid information was obtained from the OTC Markets Group, Inc. and reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. Quarter Ended High Low December 31, 2020 $ 0.53 $ 0.22 September 30, 2020 $ 0.48 $ 0.12 June 30, 2020 $ 0.19 $ 0.11 March 31, 2020 $ 0.27 $ 0.13 December 31, 2019 $ 0.33 $ 0.21 September 30, 2019 $ 0.46 $ 0.20 June 30, 2019 $ 0.42 $ 0.21 March 31, 2019 $ 0.53 $ 0.27 On March 30, 2021 the closing price of our common stock on the OTCQB was $0.13 per share. Holders of Common Stock As of March 30, 2021, there were approximately 103 record holders of our common stock. The number of record holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of banks, brokers, nominees or other fiduciaries. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities None. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers None. Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans On August 9, 2016, our 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’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 (the “Code”), 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 three-year 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, 2020, 75,000 stock option awards have been granted under the 2016 Plan. At December 31, 2020, 9,925,000 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 December 31, 2020, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2014 Plan. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES General Outstanding Shares and Holders As of March 30, 2021, our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, 12,141,548 of which were issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, 2,000,000 of which were issued and outstanding. 19 Common Stock Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that our board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock. Preferred Stock Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorizes our board of directors, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval, to establish and to issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock. Each class or series of preferred stock will cover the number of shares and will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights and redemption rights. Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders. The certificate of designation for the preferred stock provides that the shares are not convertible into any other class or series of stock. Holders of preferred shares are entitled to 50 votes for each share held. Voting rights are not subject to adjustment for splits that increase or decrease the common shares outstanding. Upon liquidation, holders of preferred stock will be entitled to receive $1.00 per share plus redemption provision before assets are distributed to other stockholders. Holders of preferred shares are entitled to dividends equal to common share dividends. Once any shares of preferred stock are outstanding, at least 51% of the total number of shares of preferred stock outstanding must approve the following transactions: ● alteration of the rights, preferences of privileges of the preferred stock, ● creation of any new class of stock having preferences over the preferred stock, ● repurchase of any of our common stock, ● merger of consolidation with any other company, other than one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, ● sale, conveyance or other disposal of, or creation or incurrence of any mortgage, lien, or charge or encumbrance or security interest in or pledge of, or sale and leaseback of, all or substantially all of our property or business, or ● incurrence, assumption or guarantee of any indebtedness maturing more than 18 months after the date on which it is incurred, assumed or guaranteed by us, except for operating leases and obligations assumed as part of the purchase price of property. Holders of a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation. Holders of preferred shares vote along with common stockholders on each matter submitted to a vote of security holders. As a result of the multiple votes accorded to holders of the preferred stock, Greg Johnston and Alex McLaren have the ability to control the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. On those matters that require the approval of at least 51% of the preferred stock, both Mr. Johnston and Mr. McLaren must provide their approval inasmuch as each of them owns 50% of the outstanding preferred stock. Dividends Historically, we have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations. However, in the future, our board of directors may declare dividends on our common stock. Payment of future dividends on our common stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the agreements into which we may enter in the future, including indebtedness, may impose limitations on our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions on our capital stock. We cannot guarantee that we will pay dividends to our stockholders in the future. Holders of preferred shares are entitled to dividends equal to common share dividends. Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation, as Amended, and Our Bylaws These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. Preferred Stock. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize our board of directors to issue from time to time any series of preferred stock and fix the voting powers, designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series of preferred stock. 20 Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer, and shall be called by the chairman of the board or the secretary (i) when so directed by the board, or (ii) at the written request of stockholders owning shares representing at least 25% of voting power in the election of directors. Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before a meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Removal of Directors; Vacancies. Our bylaws provide that a director may be removed from office by stockholders for cause, or without cause by a majority vote of the stockholders. A vacancy on the board of directors may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office. ITEM 6. RESERVED ITEM 7. 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 annual report on Form 10-K 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 this annual report on Form 10-K. 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 elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. Overview Zoned Properties is a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide specialized real estate and sustainability services for clients in the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the company for real estate investments and revenue growth . We intend to pioneer sustainable development for emerging industries, including the regulated cannabis industry. We are an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Forbes Real Estate Council. We focus 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. We provide development strategies and advisory services that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. We do not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis or any substances regulated under United States law such as the CSA. We are in the process of developing and expanding multiple business divisions; including an advisory services division, a licensed commercial real estate brokerage division, a real estate division focused on franchise services, a real estate division focused on real estate data, 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. We believe 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 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. 21 For the year ended December 31, 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. We currently lease land and/or building space at all five 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. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we made improvements to rental properties of $9,565. No improvements were made during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, a summary of rental properties owned by us consisted of the following: Location Tempe, AZ Chino Valley, AZ Gilbert, AZ Green Valley, AZ Kingman, AZ Description Industrial /Office Greenhouse/ Nursery Vacant Land Retail (special use) Retail (special use) Current Use Cannabis Facility Cannabis Facility Vacant Land Cannabis Dispensary Cannabis Dispensary Date Acquired March 2014 August 2015 January 2014 October 2014 May 2014 Lease Start Date May 2018 May 2018 April 2021 May 2018 May 2018 Lease End Date April 2040 April 2040 March 2023 April 2040 April 2040 Total No. of Tenants 1 1 1 1 1 Total Properties Land Area (Acres) 3.65 47.60 0.80 1.33 0.32 53.70 Land Area (Sq.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use for medicinal purposes. The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The DOJ defines Schedule I drugs, substances or chemicals as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” However, the FDA has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified form of the drug CBD, a non-psychoactive ingredient in the cannabis plant, for the treatment of seizures associated with two epilepsy conditions. The FDA has not approved cannabis or cannabis compounds as a safe and effective drug for any other condition. Moreover, pursuant to the Farm Bill, 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 Company maintains its operations so as to remain in compliance with the CSA. Even in those jurisdictions in which the manufacture and use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, the possession, use and cultivation all remain violations of federal law that are punishable by imprisonment and substantial fines, and the prescription of marijuana is a violation of federal law. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they intentionally aid and abet another in violating these federal controlled substance laws, or conspire with another to violate them. The inconsistencies between federal and state regulation of cannabis were addressed in the Cole Memo, which then-Deputy Attorney General James Cole sent to all U.S. District Attorneys in 2013 outlining certain priorities for the DOJ relating to the prosecution of cannabis offenses. The Cole Memo acknowledged that, notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level, several states had enacted laws authorizing the use of cannabis for medical purposes. The Cole Memo noted that jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing cannabis in some form have also implemented strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, processing, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis. As such, conduct in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to implicate the Cole Memo’s enforcement priorities. The DOJ did not provide (and has not provided since) specific guidelines for what regulatory and enforcement systems would be deemed sufficient under the Cole Memo. In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Cole Memo concluded that the DOJ should be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis, such as distribution of cannabis from states where cannabis is legal to those where cannabis is illegal, the diversion of cannabis revenues to illicit drug cartels and sales of cannabis to minors. On January 4, 2018, former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued the Sessions Memo, which rescinded the Cole Memo. The Sessions Memo stated, in part, that current law reflects “Congress’ determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug and cannabis activity is a serious crime,” and Mr. Sessions directed all U.S. Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted by Congress by following well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to cannabis activities. The Company is not aware of any prosecutions of investment companies doing routine business with licensed marijuana related businesses in light of the DOJ position following issuance of the Sessions Memo. However, there can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce federal laws relating to cannabis in the future. As a result of the Sessions Memo, federal prosecutors are now free to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities, despite the existence of state-level laws that may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions. No direction was given to federal prosecutors in the Sessions Memo as to the priority they should ascribe to such cannabis activities, and thus it is uncertain how active U.S. federal prosecutors will be in relation to such activities. Federal prosecutors appear to continue to use the Cole Memo’s priorities as an enforcement guide. Merrick Garland, who became Attorney General on March 10, 2021 has indicated that he would deprioritize enforcement of low-level cannabis crimes such as possession, and has shared his view that the government should focus on large-scale criminal enterprises that circumvent state legalization laws instead of going after people who abide by local cannabis policies. The Company believes it is too soon to determine what prosecutorial effects will be created by the rescission of the Cole Memo or any replacement thereof and when or if the Sessions Memo will be rescinded. President Joseph R. Biden, who assumed office in January 2021, has not yet indicated whether and when he will decriminalize or legalize cannabis and has previously stated that he is opposed to legalization. The sheer size of the cannabis industry, in addition to participation by state and local governments and investors, suggests that a large-scale federal enforcement operation would more than likely create unwanted political backlash for the DOJ and the current administration. It is also possible that the change of Congressional leadership in January 2021 could change the priorities of Congress and encourage reconciliation of federal and state laws. Regardless, at this time, cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance at the federal level. The U.S. federal government has always reserved the right to enforce federal law in regard to the sale and disbursement of medical or adult use cannabis, even if state law authorizes such sale and disbursement. It is unclear whether the risk of enforcement has been altered. 23 One legislative safeguard for the medical cannabis industry, appended to the federal budget bill, remains in place following the rescission of the Cole Memo. For fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, Congress adopted the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment to prevent the federal government from using congressionally appropriated funds to enforce federal cannabis laws against regulated medical cannabis actors operating in compliance with state and local law. The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was included in the fiscal year 2018 budget passed on March 23, 2018. The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was included in the consolidated appropriations bill signed into legislation by former President Trump in February 2019. In signing the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment, former President Trump issued a signing statement noting that the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment “provides that the Department of Justice may not use any funds to prevent implementation of medical marijuana laws by various States and territories,” and further stating “I will treat this provision consistent with the President’s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.” On June 20, 2019, the House approved a broader amendment that, in addition to protecting state medical cannabis programs, would also protect state adult use programs. On September 26, 2019, the Senate Appropriations Committee declined to take up the broader amendment but did approve the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment for the fiscal year 2020 spending bill. On September 27, 2019, the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was renewed as part of a stopgap spending bill, in effect through November 21, 2019, and was then renewed through a series of stopgap spending bills passed in 2020. On December 27, 2020, the amendment was renewed through the signing of the fiscal year 2021 omnibus spending bill, effective through September 30, 2021. Despite the rescission of the Cole Memo, the DOJ appears to continue to adhere to the enforcement priorities set forth in the Cole Memo. The Cole Memo and the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment gave licensed cannabis operators (particularly medical cannabis operators) and investors in states with legal regimes greater certainty regarding the DOJ’s enforcement priorities and the risk of operating cannabis businesses. While the Sessions Memo has introduced some uncertainty regarding federal enforcement, the cannabis industry continues to experience growth in legal medical and adult use markets across the United States. Vice President Kamala Harris is the lead sponsor of the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act, which seeks to end the federal prohibition of marijuana, among other things, but in March 2020, it was reported that Vice President Harris has adopted the same position as President Biden, who opposes legalization. Currently, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will remain in place or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. Unless and until the U.S. Congress amends the CSA with respect to cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current U.S. federal law criminalizing cannabis. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, and federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use, cannabis is largely regulated at the state level. State laws that permit and regulate the production, distribution and use of cannabis for adult use or medical purposes are in direct conflict with the CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical and/or adult use cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under federal law under any and all circumstances under the CSA. Although the Company’s activities are believed to be compliant with applicable state and local laws, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor may it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. As of December 31, 2020, 35 states, plus the District of Columbia (and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands), have legalized the cultivation and sale of cannabis for medical purposes. In 15 of those states, the sale and possession of cannabis is legal for both medical and adult use, and the District of Columbia has legalized adult use but not commercial sale. In November 2020, voters in Arizona, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota voted by referendum to legalize cannabis for adult use, and voters in Mississippi and South Dakota voted to legalized cannabis for medical use, and in February 2021, the Virginia legislature approved a bill that would legalize cannabis for adult use beginning in 2024. The Virginia bill is awaiting signature by the governor, and if signed, Virginia will be the first southern state to legalize cannabis for adult use. Also in February 2021, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed three bills into law that legalize cannabis for adult use. The Company will focus heavily on the growth of a diversified revenue stream in 2021. 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 year ended December 31, 2020 by $179,000. In addition, the parties agreed that from the period from May 31, 2020 to June 30, 2022, our 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. We did not experience in 2020, and we do not foresee in 2021, 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. 24 Results of Operations The following comparative analysis of results of operations was based primarily on comparative consolidated financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which are included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. The results discussed below are for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Revenues For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, revenues consisted of the following: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Rent revenues $ 1,125,346 $ 1,115,861 Advisory revenues 90,096 144,560 Total revenues $ 1,215,442 $ 1,260,421 For the year ended December 31, 2020, total revenues amounted to $1,215,442, including Significant Tenants revenues of $1,176,666, as compared to $1,260,421, including Significant Tenant revenues of $1,115,861, for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $44,979, or 3.6%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the decrease in revenues was attributable to a decrease in advisory revenues of $54,464, or 37.7%, and an increase in rent revenues of $9,485, or 0.9%. Substantially all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net leases to the Significant Tenants. Operating expenses For the year ended December 31, 2020, operating expenses amounted to $1,177,709 as compared to $1,259,706 for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $81,997, or 6.5%. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, operating expenses consisted of the following: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Compensation and benefits $ 342,692 $ 383,648 Professional fees 195,684 233,940 General and administrative expenses 190,806 196,299 Depreciation and amortization 362,833 361,940 Real estate taxes 85,694 83,879 Total $ 1,177,709 $ 1,259,706 ● For the year ended December 31, 2020, compensation and benefit expense decreased by $40,956, or 10.7%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 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. ● For the year ended December 31, 2020, professional fees decreased by $38,256, or 16.3%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 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 $7,853, a decrease in accounting fees of $5,515, and a decrease in other professional fees of $10,980 related to the decrease in advisory fees. ● 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 year ended December 31, 2020, general and administrative expenses decreased by $5,493, or 2.8%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in travel expense of $4,736, a decrease in due and subscription fees of $7,030, a decrease in filing fees of $8,262 and a decrease in other general and administrative expenses of $10,888, offset by an increase in advertising and promotion expense of $3,084 related to attending conferences, an increase in technology fees of $7,076, an increase in rent expense of $4,520. and an increase in insurance expense of $2,039. Additionally, in the 2019 period, we received a tax refund of $8,704 which we did not receive in the 2020 period. ● For the year ended December 31, 2020, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $893, or 0.3%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. ● For the year ended December 31, 2020, real estate taxes increased by $1,815, or 2.2%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. 25 Income from operations As a result of the factors described above, for the year ended December 31, 2020, income from operations amounted to $37,733 as compared to income from operations amounted to $715 for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $37,018, or 5,177.3%. 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 year ended December 31, 2020, total other expenses, net amounted to $116,071 as compared to total other expenses, net of $12,996, respectively, representing an increase of $103,075, or 793.1%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized other income of $108,204 related to a cash rebate received from the utility company as compared to nil during the year ended December 31, 2020. Net loss As a result of the foregoing, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, net loss amounted to $78,338, or $(0.01) per common share (basic and diluted), and $12,281, 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 $699,335 and $639,781 of cash as of December 31, 2020 and 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. 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 annual report on Form 10-K. 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. 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. 26 ● 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. 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had an asset concentration related to our Significant Tenant leases. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, these Significant Tenants represented approximately 83.2% and 90.7% 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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 Flow For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $170,040 for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared net cash flow provided by operating activities of $284,914 for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing a decrease of $114,874. ● Net cash flow provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily reflected net loss of $78,338 adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of $362,833, stock-based compensation expense of $24,200 and accretion of stock-based stock option expense of $24,231, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of an increase in deferred rent receivable of $173,757 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 year ended December 31, 2019 primarily reflected net loss of $12,281 adjusted for the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of $361,940, stock-based compensation expense of $31,100 and accretion of stock-based stock option expense of $23,612, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of a decrease in accounts payable of $(117,984), and net changes in other operating assets and liabilities of $(1,473). For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to $110,486. 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 $9,563 and for the purchase of property and equipment of $923.We did not have any investing activities for the year ended December 31, 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. 27 The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. Payments Due by Period Contractual obligations: Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years 5 + years Convertible notes $ 2,020 $ - $ 20 $ - $ 2,000 Interest on convertible notes 1,126 155 241 240 490 Total $ 3,146 $ 155 $ 261 $ 240 $ 2,490 Off-balance Sheet Arrangements 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 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 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 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. 28 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. 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. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See Index to Consolidated Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statement Schedules appearing on pages F-1 to F-24 of this annual report on Form 10-K. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. 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 annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses, which we identified in our report on internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was 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. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Changes in internal control over financial reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

His service as a chief financial officer at Advanced Benefit Solutions, Inc. (d/b/a 44 North), Wilcox Associates, Inc. and Wolohan Lumber Co., together with his accounting and management experience, make him a valued member of our Board, Compensation Committee and Strategic Committee, and an effective Non-Executive Chair of the Audit Committee. Mr. Honaman meets the definition of an “audit committee financial expert” as established by the SEC. Derek Overstreet, PhD. Dr. Overstreet has served as a director since April 2017.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past 10 years: 1. any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; 2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); 3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; 4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; 5. being the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease- and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or 6. being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. Code of Ethics We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those employees responsible for financial reporting. The code of business conduct and ethics is available on our corporate website, www.zonedproperties.com. We intend to disclose any amendments to our code of business conduct and ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website or in filings under the Exchange Act to the extent required by applicable rules and exchange requirements. 32 Director Independence Three of our five board members are independent. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Friedman and Honaman and Dr. Overstreet is an independent director pursuant to the NASDAQ listing standards. Under the NASDAQ rules, no director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us (directly, or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). In assessing the independence of our directors, the Board considers all of the business relationships between the Company and our directors and their respective affiliated companies. This review is based primarily on the Company’s review of its own records and on responses of the directors to questions in a questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with the Company and our management. Where relationships exist, the Board determines whether the relationship between the Company and the directors or the directors’ affiliated companies impairs the directors’ independence. After consideration of the directors’ relationships with the Company, the Board has affirmatively determined that none of the individuals serving as non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 had a material relationship with us and that each of such non-employee directors is independent. Bryan McLaren was not considered an independent director during his service on the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 because of his employment as our CEO, President, Treasurer, Secretary and Chairman of the Board. Alex McLaren, MD was not considered an independent director during his service on the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 because Bryan McLaren is the son of Dr. McLaren. Board of Directors and Board Committees All of our directors and director nominees are encouraged to attend the annual meetings of our stockholders. The Board of Directors held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Each of our current directors attended 100% of the aggregate number of the meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees on which he or she served. Our Board currently has three committees: the Audit Committee, the Strategic Committee, and the Compensation Committee. As of March 30, 2021, the members and Chairs of our standing Board committees were: Audit Compensation Strategic Independent Directors Art Friedman X Chair X David G. Honaman Chair X X Derek Overstreet X X X Non-Independent Director Alex McLaren, MD X Chair Audit Committee All Audit Committee members are “independent” under the NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Our Board of Directors has determined that one of the members of the Audit Committee, Mr. Honaman, meets the definition of an “audit committee financial expert” as established by the SEC, and that Mr. Friedman and Dr. Overstreet, the two other members of the Audit Committee, meet the definition of “financially literate” as established by the SEC. The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the quality and integrity of the financial reports of the Company. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint, review and discharge our independent accountants, and has established procedures for the receipt, retention, response to and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and audit matters. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for: ● reviewing the scope, results, timing and costs of the audit with our independent accountants and reviewing the results of the annual audit examination and any accompanying management letters; ● assessing the independence of the outside accountants on an annual basis, including receipt and review of a written report from the independent accountants regarding their independence consistent with the independence standards of the board; ● reviewing and approving the services provided by the independent accountants; ● overseeing the internal audit function; and ● reviewing our significant accounting policies, financial results and earnings releases, and the adequacy of our internal controls and procedures. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are more fully described in the Audit Committee’s charter. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. 33 Compensation Committee All Compensation Committee members (except for Dr. McLaren) are “independent” under applicable NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to executive compensation, employee compensation and benefit programs and plans, and leadership development and succession planning. In addition, the Compensation Committee is responsible for: ● reviewing the performance of our Chief Executive Officer; ● determining the compensation and benefits for our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers; ● establishing our compensation policies and practices; ● administering our incentive compensation and stock plans (except for the issuance of securities to non-employee directors for services which is administered by the Board); and ● approving the adoption of material changes to or the termination of our benefit plans. The Compensation Committee reviews and discusses with management the disclosures regarding executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are more fully described in the Compensation Committee’s charter. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Strategic Committee All Strategic Committee members (except for Dr. McLaren) are “independent” under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. The Strategic Committee assists the Board in developing and maintaining the Company’s business strategies and any related matters required by federal securities laws. In addition, the Strategic Committee is responsible for: ● Review the Company’s current business strategies. ● Explore new business strategies for the Company. ● Report business strategy analyses to the Board. The Strategic Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, there were no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board. ITEM 11.

On May 23, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. McLaren (the “2018 Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Employment Agreement, the Company agreed to continue to pay Mr. McLaren a base annual salary of $214,500, and to award Mr. McLaren with an annual and/or quarterly bonus payable in either cash and/or equity of no less than 2% of the Company’s net income for the associated period. The 2018 Employment Agreement has a term of 10 years. The term and Mr. McLaren’s employment will terminate (a “Termination”) in any of the following circumstances: (i) immediately, if Mr. McLaren dies; (ii) immediately, if Mr. McLaren receives benefits under the long-term disability insurance coverage then (iii) provided by the Company or, if no such insurance is in effect, upon Mr. McLaren’s disability; (iv) on the expiration date, as the same may be extended by the parties by written amendment to the 2018 Employment Agreement prior to the occasion thereof; (v) at the option of the Company for Cause (as hereinafter defined) upon the Company’s provision of written notice to Mr. McLaren of the basis for such Termination; (vi) at the option of the Company, without Cause; (vii) by Mr. McLaren at any time with Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company delivered not later than within 90 days of the existence of the condition therefor; or (viii) by Mr. McLaren at any time without Good Reason, upon not less than three months’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event of a Termination for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, or upon the expiration date of the 2018 Employment Agreement, whichever comes first, all rights and obligations under the 2018 Employment Agreement shall cease (i) as to the Company, except for the Company’s obligations for the payment of applicable severance benefits thereunder, and for indemnification thereunder, and (ii) as to Mr. McLaren, except for his obligation under the restrictive covenants in the 2018 Employment Agreement. The Company and Mr. McLaren also entered into a Golden Parachute Agreement (the “Golden Parachute Agreement”) on May 23, 2018. No benefits shall be payable under the Golden Parachute Agreement unless there shall have been a change in control of the Company, as set forth below. For purposes of the Golden Parachute Agreement, a “change in control of the Company” shall mean a change of control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Company is in fact required to comply with that regulation, provided that, without limitation, such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or (B) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of the Golden Parachute Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses (A) or (D) of this paragraph) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority; (C) the Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a change in control of the Company; or (D) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to it continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. For purposes of the Golden Parachute Agreement, “Cause” means termination upon (a) the willful and continued failure to substantially perform duties with the Company after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that duties have not substantially been performed, or (b) the willful engaging in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of the Golden Parachute Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without express written consent, the occurrence after a change in control of the Company of any of the following circumstances unless, such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the date of Termination specified in the notice of Termination: (a) a material diminution in Mr. McLaren’s authority, duties or responsibility from those in effect immediately prior to the change in control of the Company; 35 (b) a material diminution in Mr. McLaren’s base compensation; (c) a material change in the geographic location at which Mr. McLaren performs his duties; (d) a material diminution in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom Mr. McLaren is required to report, including a requirement that McLaren report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board; (e) a material diminution in the budget over which Mr. McLaren retains authority; (f) a material breach under any agreement with the Company to continue in effect any bonus to which Mr. McLaren was entitled, or any compensation plan in which Mr. McLaren participates immediately prior to the change in control of the Company which is material to Mr. McLaren’s total compensation; (g) a material breach under any agreement with the Company to provide Mr. McLaren benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by Mr. McLaren under any of the Company’s life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which he was participating at the time of the change in control of the Company, the failure to continue to provide Mr. McLaren with a Company automobile or allowance in lieu of it, if Mr. McLaren was provided with such an automobile or allowance in lieu of it at the time of the change of control of the Company, the taking of any action by the Company which would directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive Mr. McLaren of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Mr. McLaren at the time of the change in control of the Company, or the failure by the Company to provide him with the number of paid vacation days to which he is entitled on the basis of years of service with the Company in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in effect at the time of the change in control of the Company; Following a change in control of the Company, upon termination of Mr. McLaren’s employment or during a period of disability, Mr. McLaren will be entitled to the following benefits: (i) During any period that Mr. McLaren fails to perform his full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Mr. McLaren will continue to receive his base salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all amounts payable to Mr. McLaren under any compensation plan of the Company during such period, until the Golden Parachute Agreement is terminated. (ii) If Mr. McLaren’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Mr. McLaren other than for Good Reason, disability, death or retirement, the Company will pay Mr. McLaren his full base salary through the date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts and benefits to which Mr. McLaren is entitled under any compensation plan of the Company at the time such payments are due. (iii) If employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company other than for Cause, death or disability or (b) by Mr. McLaren for Good Reason, Mr. McLaren will be entitled to benefits provided below: a. The Company will pay Mr. McLaren his full base salary through the date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given, plus all other amounts and benefits to which Mr. McLaren is entitled under any compensation plan of the Company. b. In lieu of any further salary payments to Mr. McLaren for periods subsequent to the date of Termination, the Company will pay as severance pay to Mr. McLaren a lump sum severance payment (together with the payments provided in clauses (c) and (d) below) equal to five times the sum of Mr. McLaren’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the circumstance giving rise to the notice of Termination given in respect of them. c. The Company will pay to Mr. McLaren any deferred compensation allocated or credited to Mr. McLaren or his account as of the date of Termination. d. In lieu of shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, if any, granted to Mr. McLaren under the Company’s stock option plans (which options shall be cancelled upon the making of the payment referred to below), Mr. McLaren will receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess of the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on or nearest the date of Termination (or, if not so reported, on the basis of the average of the lowest asked and highest bid prices on or nearest the date of Termination), over the per share exercise price of each option held by Mr. McLaren (whether or not then fully exercisable) plus the amount of any applicable cash appreciation rights, times (ii) the number of the Company’s common stock covered by each such option. e. The Company will also pay to Mr. McLaren all legal fees and expenses incurred by Mr. McLaren as a result of such Termination. (iv) In the event that Mr. McLaren is a “disqualified individual” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the parties expressly agree that the payments described herein and all other payments to Mr. McLaren under any other agreements or arrangements with any persons which constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code are collectively subject to an overall maximum limit. Such maximum limit shall be $1 less than the aggregate amount which would otherwise cause any such payments to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the Company. 36 Outstanding Equity Awards at 2020 Fiscal Year-End The following table sets forth information as options outstanding on December 31, 2020.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans On August 9, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized 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 Code, 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 three-year 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, 2020, 75,000 stock option awards have been granted under the 2016 Plan. At December 31, 2020, 9,925,000 shares are available for future issuance. The Company also continues to maintain its 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 December 31, 2020, options to purchase 1,325,000 shares of common stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2014 Plan. The table below sets forth information as of December 31, 2020.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE We do not have a written policy for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related parties or conflicted transactions. When such transactions arise, they are referred to the audit committee for consideration for referral to our board of directors for its consideration. Convertible Notes Payable On January 9, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture (the “Abrams Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 in favor of Alan Abrams, a significant stockholder of the Company, in exchange for cash from Mr. Abrams of $2,000,000. Also on January 9, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture (the “McLaren Debenture” and together with the Abrams Debenture, the “Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000 in favor of Bryan McLaren, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (effective May 23, 2018, Mr. McLaren also assumed the title of Chief Financial Officer), in exchange for cash from Mr. McLaren of $20,000. Each of Mr. Abrams and Mr. McLaren is referred to herein as a “Holder.” Each of the Debentures accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum payable quarterly by the first of each quarter and matures on January 9, 2022. The Company may prepay the Debentures at any point after nine months, in whole or in part. Pursuant to the terms of each of the Debentures, the Holder is entitled to convert all or a portion of the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest due under the respective Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $5.00 per share. If the Company defaults on payment, the Holder may at his option, extend all conversion rights, through and including the date the Company tenders or attempts to tender payment in full of all amounts due under the Debenture. Any amount of principal or interest, which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in each Debenture), the Holder may (i) declare the entire principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Debenture immediately due and payable, and (ii) exercise any and all rights, powers and remedies available to the Holder at law or in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Debenture and proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of the Holder. Pursuant to a Stock Redemption Agreement, effective January 1, 2019, the Company and Mr. Abrams amended the Abrams Debenture to extend the maturity date of the Abrams Debenture from January 9, 2022 until January 9, 2030. Director Independence Three of our five board members are independent. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Friedman and Honaman and Dr. Overstreet is an independent director pursuant to the NASDAQ listing standards. Under the NASDAQ rules, no director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us (directly, or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). In assessing the independence of our directors, the Board considers all of the business relationships between the Company and our directors and their respective affiliated companies. This review is based primarily on the Company’s review of its own records and on responses of the directors to questions in a questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with the Company and our management. Where relationships exist, the Board determines whether the relationship between the Company and the directors or the directors’ affiliated companies impairs the directors’ independence. After consideration of the directors’ relationships with the Company, the Board has affirmatively determined that none of the individuals serving as non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 had a material relationship with us and that each of such non-employee directors is independent. Bryan McLaren was not considered an independent director during his service on the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 because of his employment as our CEO, President, Treasurer, Secretary and Chairman of the Board. Alex McLaren, MD was not considered an independent director during his service on the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 because Bryan McLaren is the son of Dr. McLaren. 39 ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES The following table sets forth the fees that were billed or that will be billed to our company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 for professional services rendered by D. Brooks and Associates CPAs, P.A.: Fees 2020 2019 Audit Fees $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Audit-Related Fees 0 0 Tax Fees 0 0 Other Fees 0 0 Total Fees $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Audit Fees Audit fees were for professional services rendered for the audits of our financial statements and for review of our quarterly financial statements. Audit-Related Fees During 2020 and 2019, our independent registered public accountants did not provide any assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review or our financial statements that are not reported under the caption “Audit Fees” above. Tax Fees As our independent registered public accountants did not provide any services to us for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning during 2020 and 2019, no tax fees were billed or paid during those fiscal years. All Other Fees Our independent registered public accountants did not provide any products and services not disclosed in the table above during 2020 and 2019. As a result, there were no other fees billed or paid during 2020 and 2019. Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures Our Audit Committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee before the respective services were rendered. Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent registered public accounting firm and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining their respective independence. 40 PART IV ITEM 15.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zoned Properties, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements) In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters. D. Brooks and Associates CPAs, P.A. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

F- 6 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 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. ● Kingman Property Group, LLC (“Kingman”) was organized in the State of Arizona on April 15, 2014. ● Green Valley Group, LLC (“Green Valley”) organized in the State of Arizona on April 15, 2014. ● Zoned Oregon Properties, LLC was organized in the State of Oregon on June 16, 2015. ● Zoned Colorado Properties, LLC (“Zoned Colorado”) was organized in the State of Colorado on September 17, 2015. ● Zoned Illinois Properties, LLC was organized in the State of Illinois on July 15, 2015. ● Zoned Arizona Properties, LLC (“Zoned Arizona”) was organized in the State of Arizona on June 2, 2017. ● Zoned Advisory Services, 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 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. F- 7 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 Effective January 1, 2019, the Company and certain beneficial shareholders entered into a Stock Redemption Agreement (See Note 8). Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 would no longer be deemed to be “related persons” under SEC rules. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2019, the Company will no longer reflect transactions and balances related to these beneficial shareholders as related party transactions. Use of estimates The preparation of 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 years ended December 31, 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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, rental and advisory revenue associated with the Significant Tenants amounted to $1,176,666 and $1,146,654, which represents 96.8% and 91.0% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3). Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts reported in the 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 on December 31, 2020 and 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. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had approximately $449,000 and $390,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. Accounts receivable The 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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any allowances for doubtful accounts. F- 8 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 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 years ended December 31, 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 is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The Company uses a five-year life for office equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures, and five to ten years for vehicles. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Revenue recognition The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“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. 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. F- 9 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 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 income (loss) 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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. December 31, 2020 2019 Convertible debt 404,000 404,000 Stock options 1,325,000 1,290,000 1,729,000 1,694,000 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, and advisory services related to 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying 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 . F- 10 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 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 December 31, 2020 of $173,757 (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 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. Recently issued accounting pronouncements Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. F- 11 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC.

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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had an asset concentration related to the Significant Tenants. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Significant Tenants represented approximately 83.2% and 87.1% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms of the Broken Arrow CASA and CJK CASA, Broken Arrow and CJK engaged the Company to perform certain advisory services in exchange for a fee equal to 10% of Broken Arrow’s and CJK’s gross revenues (the (“Revenue Fee”), commencing January 2019. F- 14 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 On January 1, 2019, as part of a Stock Redemption Agreement, the Company, on behalf of Chino Valley, and Broken Arrow entered into the First Amendment to Confidential Advisory Services Agreement (the “Broken Arrow CASA Amendment”). The Broken Arrow CASA Amendment amended the Broken Arrow CASA to (i) reduce the gross revenue fee payable by Broken Arrow from 10% to 0%, and (ii) add a $250 hourly advisory fee payable by Broken Arrow.

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

As of December 31, 2020 and 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,150,000 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 years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in connection with the accretion of stock-based option expense, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $24,231 and $23,612, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there were 1,325,000 options outstanding and 1,225,000 options vested and exercisable. As of December 31, 2020, there was $34,582 of unvested stock-based compensation expense to be recognized through December 2024. The aggregate intrinsic value on December 31, 2020 was nil and was calculated based on the difference between the quoted share price on December 31, 2020 of $0.43 and the exercise price of the underlying options.

F- 19 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 Following effectiveness of the Stock Redemption and the transactions set forth above: ● Messrs. Carra and Abrams will no longer beneficially own any shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, they will no longer be significant stockholders of the Company or “related persons” under the SEC rules.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES The Company maintains deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets on December 31, 2020 and 2019 consist of net operating loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of the attainment of future taxable income. The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Income tax benefit at U.S. statutory rate $ (16,311 ) $ (2,579 ) Income tax benefit – state (5,092 ) (798 ) Non-deductible expenses 6,663 6,920 Change in valuation allowance 14,740 (3,543 ) Total provision for income tax $ - $ - The Company’s approximate net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Deferred Tax Asset: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Net operating loss carryforward $ 485,172 $ 470,432 Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 485,172 470,432 Valuation allowance (485,172 ) (470,432 ) Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - F- 20 ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 The net operating loss carryforward was approximately $1,764,000 on December 31, 2020. The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred income tax asset as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 because it was not known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. Additionally, the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income is subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that occurred in 2014 and may occur in the future. Based on the Company’s analysis to determine the limitation on the utilization of its net operating loss carryforward amounts, in 2018, the deferred tax asset was reduced by any carryforward that cannot be utilized or expires prior to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. In 2020, the valuation allowance increased by $14,740. The potential tax benefit arising from the loss carryforward will expire in 2040. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2020, 2019 and 2018 Corporate Income Tax Returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 1, 2021, the Company granted a consultant 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 1, 2021 and the option expires on January 1, 2031. The option vests as to (i) 25,000 of such shares on January 1, 2021; and (ii) as to 10,000 of such shares on January 1, 2022 and each year thereafter through January 1, 2031. 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 117%; risk-free interest rate of 0.93%; and an estimated holding period of 10 years. In connection with these options, the Company valued these options at a fair value of $48,677 and will record stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period. On January 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 130,000 shares of common stock to members of the Company’s board of directors for services rendered. The shares were valued at their aggregate fair value of $52,000 using the quoted per share price on the date of grant of $0.40. In connection with these grants, in January 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $52,000 which will be included in compensation and benefits on the consolidated statements of operations. In January 2021, the Parachute Agreement was mutually terminated, and the refundable deposit was returned to the Company (see Note 11). On February 19, 2021 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company made an additional investment of $100,000 into KCB (the “Additional Investment”) (See Note 6). In exchange, 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 KCB Debenture (see Note 6). Pursuant to the A&R Debenture, the Company and KCB agreed to certain new terms that did not exist in the KCB 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 KCB Debenture (See Note 6). On March 3, 2021, Gilbert entered into that certain Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Lease”), dated as of February 26, 2021, between Gilbert and AZ2CAL Enterprises, LLC (the “Tenant”). Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Gilbert agreed to rent its vacant land in Gilbert, AZ (the “Property”) to the Tenant for a term of 24 months, from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2023, for monthly rent of $2,750; provided, however, that no rent is due for the month of April 2021. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the Tenant has an option to purchase the Property (the “Option”) that can be exercised any time after the fourth month of the lease term, but no later than the end of the 12 th month of the lease term. The purchase price of the Property would be $335,000. If the Tenant exercises its Option, $750 of each lease payment made prior to close of escrow, along with the security deposit will be credited toward the purchase price of the Property. If the Tenant exercises its Option, close of escrow will occur no later than 30 days after opening of escrow. The parties agreed to make every reasonable attempt to fully execute a purchase contract within seven business days of the Tenant’s notice of its desire to exercise the Option. On March 17, 2021, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Zoned Brokerage, LLC. that was organized in the State of Arizona. F- 24
