Item
2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results
This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information
so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This quarterly report
on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out
anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever
possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future
actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal
proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially
are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2024, as the same may be updated from time to time.
We
caution that these factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed
in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.
Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to
update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect
the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible
for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent
to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear
elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Zoned
Properties, Inc. (“Zoned Properties” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25,
2003. In October 2013, the Company changed its name to Zoned Properties, Inc. and in April 2014, the Company shifted its business model
to address commercial real estate in the regulated cannabis industry. Zoned Properties is a technology-driven property investment company
focused on acquiring value-add real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States. The Company aspires to innovate
within the real estate development sector, focusing on direct-to-consumer real estate that is leased to the best-in-class cannabis retailers.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its standardized
investment model backed by its proprietary property technology. Zoned Properties has developed a national ecosystem of real estate services
to support its real estate development model, including a commercial real estate brokerage and a real estate advisory practice.
The
Company operates in two organized segments; (1) the operations, leasing and management of its commercial properties, herein known as
the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) the advisory, brokerage and technology services related to commercial
properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company targets commercial properties that face unique
zoning or development challenges, identifies solutions that can potentially have a major impact on their commercial value, and then works
to acquire the properties while securing long-term, absolute-net leases. The Company does not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis
or any substances regulated under United States law such as the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, as amended.
The
core of our business operations involves identifying, securing, acquiring, and leasing commercial properties that intend to operate within
highly regulated industries, including the legalized cannabis industry. Within highly regulated industries, local municipalities typically
develop strict regulations, including zoning and permitting requirements related to commercial real estate, that dictate the specific
locations and parameters under which regulated properties can operate, including cannabis properties. We often refer to these requirements
as cannabis approvals. These regulations often include complex permitting processes that require longer development timelines than traditional
commercial real estate and can include non-standard codes governing each location; for example, restricting a regulated property or facility
from operating within a certain distance of any parks, schools, churches, or residential districts, or restricting a regulated property
from operating outside a defined set of hours of operation. When an organization can collaborate with local representatives, a proactive
set of rules and regulations can be established and followed to meet the needs of both the regulated operators and the local community.
Due
to the complex nature of the Company’s core business operations and target investment properties, the Company may secure dozens
of potential property candidates for acquisition and prospective tenant candidates for leasing at any given time, all in the normal course
of business. The process of securing a potential property candidate may include completing contractual agreements such as an option agreement
or a purchase agreement, which may include various contingencies and conditions precedent related to the ultimate consummation of the
acquisition, investment, or transaction. Simultaneously with the securing of potential property candidates, the Company will advertise
and market a property to prospective tenant candidates for a long-term, absolute-net lease agreement, which may include various contingencies
and conditions precedent related to the ultimate commencement of the lease and tenancy. In order to deliver a successful investment property
transaction, the Company must collectively receive all cannabis approvals from state and local governing authorities that may be required
at a given property, secure a qualified tenant to lease and operate the property, and complete the acquisition of the property.
The
Company’s current investment properties are located in Arizona, Illinois, and Michigan with 100% occupancy and a weighted average
lease term over 10 years. Each of the Company’s leased properties is occupied by a commercial cannabis tenant.
39
Zoned
Properties maintains a portfolio of properties that it owns, develops and leases. As of June 30, 2025, the Company leases land and/or
building space at the seven properties in its portfolio to licensed and regulated cannabis tenants in areas with established cannabis
regulations and zoning procedures. Four of the leased properties are zoned and permitted as regulated cannabis retail dispensaries, two
of the leased properties are zoned and permitted as regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facilities, and one property is leased
for the future development of a licensed medical and adult use marijuana retail dispensary. The Company considers the two cultivation
sites in its portfolio as legacy properties and may consider selling or leveraging those properties to unlock equity and create capital
availability in the future. The Zoned Properties investment thesis has evolved over the years as the cannabis industry has emerged, and
is currently focused on investing capital into direct-to-consumer properties, located in state-markets with robust cannabis consumer
demand in the industry

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, professional fees decreased

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 $985,847
and $1,019,980 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Our
primary uses of cash have been for the acquisition of new property investments, compensation and benefits, fees paid to third parties
for professional services, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses, and the development of rental properties and other
lines of business. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business. We receive funds from the collection
of rental income, and real estate services, which primarily includes advisory fees and brokerage fees. The following trends are reasonably
likely to result in changes in our liquidity over the near term to long term:
●
An increase in working
capital requirements to finance our current business,
●
Addition of administrative
and sales personnel as the business grows,
43
●
The cost of being a public
company,
●
An increase in investments
in joint ventures and other projects, and
●
An increase in investments
in rental properties.
We
may need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to continue to generate positive cash flows from our operations. We
estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under
our present operating expectations for the next 12 months from the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Other than revenue received
from the lease of our rental properties and real estate services, and from a bank note, we presently have no other significant alternative
source of working capital.
We
have used these funds to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, acquire and develop rental properties, invest in joint ventures,
and to grow our company. We may need to raise significant additional capital or debt financing to acquire new properties, to develop
existing properties, to assure we have sufficient working capital for our ongoing operations and debt obligations, and to invest in new
joint venture and other projects.
Recent
Property Acquisitions and Related Note Payables
On
July 8, 2024 (the “Closing”), ZP Dysart acquired a property in Surprise AZ (the “Surprise Property”) from NWC
Dysart & Bell LLC (“NWC”). The Surprise Property is a tract or parcel of land containing approximately 1.114 acres, together
with all improvements, buildings, leases, rights, easements, and appurtenances pertaining thereto. The Surprise Property was acquired
for an aggregate purchase price of $1,712,541, which included (i) $1,100,000, representing the Purchase Price, (ii) reimburse to NWC
for onsite and offsite improvements of $492,022, and (iii) closing costs, commissions, and fees customary to the acquisition of real
estate of $120,519. As previously disclosed, on January 23, 2023, ZPRE Holdings entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint
Escrow Instructions, by and between NWC, as the seller, and ZPRE Holdings, as the buyer. Such agreement was subsequently amended on May
12, 2023, October 25, 2023, and December 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
NWC also agreed to complete a number of on-site and off-site improvements to the Surprise Property (the “NWC’s Work”)
in exchange for ZPRE Holdings’ reimbursement of up to $250,000 for the off-site work and reimbursement of up to $350,000 for the
on-site work (collectively, the “Reimbursements”). The obligation to complete the Reimbursements was conditioned upon the
closing of the sale of the Surprise Property. Subsequent to entry into the Agreement and as approved by NWC under the terms of the Agreement,
ZPRE Holdings designated ZP Dysart as the named buyer for the Closing.
In
connection with the Surprise Property Closing, ZP Dysart entered into the Construction Loan Agreement (the “PMF Loan Agreement”),
dated as of July 8, 2024, by and between ZP Dysart and Private Money Funding, LLC (“PMF”). Pursuant to the terms of the PMF
Loan Agreement, PMF agreed to loan up to $1,620,000 to ZP Dysart, which loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “PMF Note”).
ZP Dysart’s obligations under the PMF Note and the PMF Loan Agreement are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and
Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “PMF Deed”). The PMF Loan Agreement, the PMF Note, any guaranties, and
all other related documents executed and delivered concurrently with the PMF Loan Agreement are referred to herein as the “PMF
Loan Documents.” Pursuant to the terms of the PMF Loan Agreement, on July 8, 2024, ZP Dysart issued the PMF Note with the maximum
principal amount of $1,620,000 to PMF (the “Maximum Amount”). Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, with ZP Dysart
paying interest only in arrears, in monthly installment payments, beginning on August 1, 2024 through July 1, 2029 (the “Maturity
Date”). ZP Dysart may prepay the PMF Loan in full or in part at any time. However, during the first 48 months of the term of the
loan, if ZP Dysart pays any principal payment, ZP Dysart will pay to PMF a prepayment premium equal to (i) 5% of the amount of principal
prepaid in months 1-24; (ii) 2% of the amount of principal prepaid in months 25-36; and (iii) 1% of the amount of principal prepaid in
months 36-48, which amount will be due and payable at the time ZP Dysart pays the principal payment. During the year ended December 31,
2024, the Company borrowed $1,020,000 of the Maximum Amount and received net proceeds of $983,940, net of origination fees and costs
of $36,060. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company borrowed $300,000 of the Maximum Amount and received net proceeds
of $300,000. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the principal amount of the loan is $1,320,000 and $1,020,000, respectively,
and accrued interest payable amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.

On March 3, 2025, ZP Dysart entered into a First Amendment with its
tenant related to the Sunday Goods Lease at the Surprise Property. The First Amendment clarifies and defines the process by which the
tenant improvement Allowance for the Tenant Work at the Surprise Property would be completed. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Sunday Goods Lease, and so long as there is no default ongoing beyond any notice and/or cure period, partial payments of the Allowance
(the “Allowance Payments”) provided by Landlord shall be made to Tenant as follows: (#1) $300,000 was paid upon the full
execution of the First Amendment to the Lease; (#2) $150,000 was paid on March 28, 2025; (#3) $150,000 was paid on May 1, 2025;
and (#4) the remaining $400,000 of the Allowance shall be withheld by Landlord until completion of the Tenant’s Work on the
Property; provided however, Landlord’s obligation to disburse the final $400,000 (Payment #4 of the Allowance Payments) is
expressly conditioned upon Landlord’s receipt of the following “Allowance Deliverables”: (i) Tenant has furnished to
Landlord a copy of a commercially reasonably detailed final cost breakdown for Tenant’s Work and Landlord has inspected the Premises
to confirm that Tenant’s Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner according to the Tenant’s Approved Plans;
(ii) Tenant has furnished to Landlord commercially reasonable final affidavits and final lien releases from Tenant’s general contractor,
and if any, all subcontractors and all material suppliers for all labor and materials performed or supplied as part of Tenant’s
Work (whether or not the Allowance is applicable thereto); and (iii) a copy of the certificate of occupancy from the governmental authority
having jurisdiction has been delivered to Landlord. Throughout the project, Tenant shall be required to provide Landlord with ongoing
accounting reflecting a commercially reasonable breakdown of the Tenant’s Work paid for with the Allowance Payments, and also a
current Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, executed by Tenant.
During
the existence of any event of default, PMF may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the remedies described in the PMF Loan Documents
or otherwise available, including declaring all unpaid indebtedness then evidenced by the Note (including any late charges that are then
due and payable, any advances thereafter made from the loan and any accruing costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees which are the
obligation of ZP Dysart under the PMF Loan Documents) to become immediately due and payable. Unless PMF otherwise elects, such acceleration
will occur automatically upon the occurrence of any event of default described in PMF Loan Agreement or PMF Deed.
After
maturity or during the existence of any event of default, or at any time that ZP Dysart is more than 10 days delinquent in the payment
of money as required by the Note or the other Loan Documents (whether or not Holder has given any notice of default or any cure period
has expired), then all amounts outstanding thereunder will thereafter bear interest at the default rate of 18% per annum from the date
such payment became due until paid, but in no event to exceed the highest rate lawfully collectible under applicable law.
Pursuant
to the terms of the PMF Loan Agreement, following ZP Dysart’s satisfaction of the conditions to funding the PMF Loan and recordation
of the PMF Deed, the loan proceeds will be disbursed in multiple advances through escrow, first in the form of an initial advance in
the amount of $1,020,000 for the purpose of contributing funding towards acquiring the Surprise Property (the “Acquisition Advance”).
The remaining loan proceeds will be used for the purpose of financing for the completion of Sunday Goods’ Work (as hereinafter
defined) (the “Construction Advances”). Following the Acquisition Advance, subject to satisfying the conditions set forth
in the PMF Loan Agreement, ZP Dysart will be entitled to request the Construction Advances from the remaining loan proceeds at the following
stages of completion of the construction of Sunday Goods’ Work: (i) first advance in the amount of $300,000 at 50% completion,
and (ii) final advance in the amount of $300,000 at 100% completion and issuance of certificate of occupancy.
The
PMF Loan Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Unconditional Repayment Guaranty (the “PMF Guaranty”), dated as of July 8, 2024, by the Company, in favor
of PMF, the Company guaranteed to PMF the full and prompt payment of the principal sum of the PMF Note or so much thereof that may be
outstanding at any one time or from time to time in accordance with its terms when due, by acceleration or otherwise, together with all
interest accrued thereon, and the full and prompt payment of all other sums, together with all interest accrued thereon, when due under
the terms of the PMF Loan Agreement, the PMF Note, and in any deed of trust, security agreement, lease assignment and other assignment
or agreement referred to in the PMF Loan Agreement or the PMF Note and/or now or hereafter securing the PMF Note or setting forth any
obligations of ZP Dysart in connection with the loan.
45
We
may secure additional financing to acquire and develop additional and existing properties. Financing transactions may include the issuance
of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required,
it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek
alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution
or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The
inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow our business operations.

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

Off-balance
Sheet Arrangements
Other
than discussed herein, we have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations
of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’
equity. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves
as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides
financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Our off-balance sheet arrangement includes the notional amount of our interest rate swaps which we use to hedge a portion of our exposure
to interest rate fluctuations. Currently, our interest rate swap fixes the variable rate interest on our bank swap note payable. We intend
to fund our interest rate swap payments utilizing cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2025, the notional amount of our interest
rate swaps was $4,395,334. In interest rate swaps, the notional amount is the specified value upon which interest rate payments will
be exchanged. The notional amount in interest rate swaps is used to come up with the amount of interest due.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including the critical
ones related to an interest rate swap, the allowance for accounts receivable, impairment of rental properties, and the valuation of equity
transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our
reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the financial statements.
Interest
rate swap
In
connection with a bank loan executed in 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk related
to debt that accrues interest at variable rates. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreement in accordance with the guidance
related to derivatives and hedging activities. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company agrees
to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed
upon notional principal amount. Interest payments receivable and payable under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement are accrued
over the period to which the payment relates and the net difference is treated as an adjustment of interest expense related to the underlying
liability. Because the variable interest rates used to calculate payments under the terms of the swap agreement are calculated using
different benchmarks than those included in the Company’s variable rate debt agreement, the swap agreement is not considered an
effective cash flow hedge.
47
Accordingly,
changes in the underlying market value of the remaining swap payments are recognized into income as an increase or decrease to other
income (expense) each reporting period. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , the Company believes values
provided by its counterparty represent the fair value of its swap agreement. The Company believes that the quality of the counterparty
to its swap agreement mitigates the counterparty credit risk.
The
estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is reflected as a derivative liability on the accompanying balance sheets with
changes in the fair value reflected in income (loss) from derivative - interest rate swap on the accompanying statements of operations.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to manage interest rate risks and not as investment vehicles.

Accounts
receivable
We
recognize an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under
the current expected credit loss method. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables
aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts receivable considered at risk
or uncollectible. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC
326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required
payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience
and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts
receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.
Rental
properties
Rental
properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renovations and certain costs directly
related to the improvement of rental properties are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 39 years. Tenant
improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.
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.
48
Impairment
occurs when the carrying amount of our rental properties exceeds its recoverable amount. For our rental property, we considered the recoverable
amount to be the respective properties fair value less costs to sell (FVLCS) plus its value in use (VIU). The recoverable amount is the
higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell (FVLCS) and its value in use (VIU). FVLCS and VIU as defined as follows:
■
Fair Value Less Costs
to Sell (FVLCS):
■
Fair value is typically
determined by market prices or appraisals or tax value.
■
Subtract any costs that
would be incurred to sell the asset (like commissions).
■
Value in Use (VIU):
■
This is the present value
of the future cash flows the asset is expected to generate.
■
Cash flows should be based
on leases in place.
We
have capitalized land, which is not subject to depreciation.
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 FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting . Assumptions used in the estimation of stock-based grants may include the volatility of our common stock, expected term
of exercise, our discount rate and our dividend rate.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
