NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

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

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 include the collectability of accounts and note receivable, valuation of investment in equity securities, the useful life of rental properties and property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets including rental property and investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of derivative liability related to interest rate swap liability, 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 State legalized and regulated cannabis industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the Arizona market or any changes in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws or changes in state laws could potentially have a negative effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, substantially all of the Company’s real estate properties are leased under triple-net leases to tenants (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant Tenants”). For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, revenues associated with Significant Tenants amounted to $605,575 and $385,294, respectively, which represents 88.0% and 41.1% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3).

Fair value of financial instruments

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

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

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

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

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy of its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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.

(Unaudited)

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

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

Information regarding the interest rate swap is as follows:

Cash

Cash is carried at cost and represents cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. The Company had no cash equivalents on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company’s cash is held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash. On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $2,422,000 and $3,586,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Accounts receivable

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts and notes receivable considered at risk or uncollectible. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in general and administrative expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record any allowances for doubtful accounts.

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

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

ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

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

Long-term investments

Long-term investments include investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence and are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments is less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in non-operating income (loss). On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, long-term investments consist of an investment in convertible preferred stock that does not have a readily determinable fair value (see Note 5).

Rental properties

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

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

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

If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, the Company’s evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to its consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 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 requires certain additional disclosures. 

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

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

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

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

Contract Liabilities

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

Lease accounting

The FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

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

The Company records revenues from rental properties for its operating leases where it is the lessor on a straight-line basis. Any revenue on the straight-line basis exceeding the monthly payment amount required on the operating lease is reflected as deferred rent. 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. Additionally, in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Michigan property acquired in December 2022, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from December 2022 to March 2023. These rent abatements and the effect of recording rent on a straight-line basis resulted in aggregate deferred rent as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of $306,406 and $204,079, respectively (see Note 3). Additionally, if the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.

For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, where the Company is the lessee, at the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. For leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s administrative office lease, the Company analyzed if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.

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

Basic and diluted loss per share

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

The following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 

Segment reporting

Beginning on January 1, 2022, the Company changed its method of internal reporting and determined that the Company operates in two reportable segments which consist of (1) the operations, leasing and management of its leased commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) advisory and brokerage services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company has determined that these reportable segments were strategic business units that offered different products. Currently, these reportable segments are being managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

Income tax

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

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation

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

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and a modified retrospective approach is required, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which delayed the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies which applies to the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its future consolidated financial statements.

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

On December 1, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with its tenant for the lease of its recently acquired property located in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan (the “Woodward Lease”).

The Tempe Lease, Kingman Lease, Chino Valley Lease, Green Valley Lease, and the Woodward Lease are considered significant and the tenants are referred to as the Significant Tenants.

Chino Valley, AZ

On May 1, 2018, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow terminated the prior Chino Valley Lease dated April 6, 2015, as amended, in consideration of (i) entry into that certain Licensed Medical Marijuana Facility Triple Net (NNN) Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2018 between Chino Valley and Broken Arrow (the “2018 Chino Valley Lease”), with a term of 22 years, expiring April 30, 2040, and (ii) abatement of rent that would otherwise have been due for the month of April 2018 under the prior Chino Valley Lease. The 2018 Chino Valley Lease provided for payment by Broken Arrow of a fixed monthly base rent of $35,000, as well as real property taxes, personal property taxes, privilege, sales, rental, excise, use and/or other taxes (excluding income or estate taxes) levied upon or assessed against Chino Valley. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Chino Valley Lease, Broken Arrow agreed to maintain insurance in full force during the term of the 2018 Chino Valley Lease and any other period of occupancy of the premises by Broken Arrow. On January 1, 2019, Chino Valley and Broken Arrow entered into that the First Amendment to the 2018 Chino Valley Lease (the “2019 Chino Valley Lease Amendment”), pursuant to which the monthly base rent was increased from $35,000 to $40,000. Except for the increase in base rent, the terms of the 2018 Chino Valley Lease remain in full force and effect.

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

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

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES AND EQUITY SECURITIES

Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures

On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held investments with aggregate carrying values of $56,824 and $58,293, respectively. The entities listed below are partially owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise financial and operating control over these entities. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where the Company’s investment may not be recoverable. A summary of the Company’s original investments in the unconsolidated affiliated entities and net carrying value amount is as follows:

On April 22, 2021, ZP Data 1 entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Beakon Operating Agreement”) with a non-affiliated joint venture partner in connection with the formation of Beakon, LLC (“Beakon”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on April 16, 2021. Pursuant to the Beakon Operating Agreement, ZP Data 1 purchased 50 units of Beakon for $50, which represents 50% of the membership interests of Beakon. Each unit represents, with respect to any member, such member’s: (i) interest in Beakon’s capital, (ii) share of Beakon’s net profits and net losses (and specially allocated items of income, gain, and deduction), and the right to receive distributions of net cash flow from Beakon, (iii) right to inspect Beakon’s books and records, and (iv) right to participate in the management of and vote on matters coming before the members as provided in the Beakon Operating Agreement. The transactions discussed above resulted in a joint venture, in accordance with ASC 323-10 – Investments- Equity and Joint Ventures, between ZP Data 1 and the non-affiliated party. Each of the entities has 50% equity ownership and voting rights, and joint control in Beakon. ZP Data 1 accounts for its investment in Beakon under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company contributed $86,000 to Beakon. Currently, the licensing company and Beakon have completed the creation of the foundational design, technology platform, and market positioning for Beakon to launch in the cannabis industry. However, in order to successfully launch, the technology platform relies upon a required merchant banking component. This was the primary risk for the Company in its financial investment and for Beakon in moving to a successful launch. While Company management knew this risk was a major factor going into the investment, it was not foreseen exactly when an appropriate merchant banking solution would be available given the federal status of regulated cannabis and specifically the federal banking status as it relates to regulated cannabis, even for ancillary services such as Beakon. During the fourth quarter of 2021, a negative open memo was published and distributed by Visa regarding merchant banking in regulated industries. The Company believes that this occurrence has unexpectedly and significantly increased the risk to the Beakon project and must be remedied prior to the launch of Beakon. The uncertainty related to cannabis banking reform and regulation at the federal level, which the Beakon platform relies upon, is now so uncertain that the Company believes it is most appropriate to cause an impairment of the Beakon investment at this time, while also understanding that Beakon may still very well create material value for the Company in the future. The Company has no further financial or investment obligations at this time. Accordingly, on December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $73,970 because it was determined that the fair value of its equity method investment in Beakon was less than its carrying value. Based on management’s evaluation, it was determined that due to market and regulatory conditions, implementing the Company’s business model was at risk and that the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment in Beakon was impaired. Beacon is currently inactive.

On May 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement”) with a non-affiliated joint venture partner in connection with the formation of Zoneomics Green, LLC (“Zoneomics Green”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 1, 2021. Zoneomics Green’s goal is to utilize advanced property technology to provide solutions for property identification in regulated industries such as regulated cannabis. Pursuant to the Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement, the Company purchased 50 units of Zoneomics Green for a capital contribution of $90,000, which represents 50% of the membership interests of Zoneomics Green and the other joint venture partner received 50% of the membership interests for no capital contributions. Each unit represents, with respect to any member, such member’s: (i) interest in Zoneomics Green’s capital, (ii) share of Zoneomics Green’s net profits and net losses (and specially allocated items of income, gain, and deduction), and the right to receive distributions of net cash flow from Zoneomics Green, (iii) right to inspect Zoneomics Green’s books and records, and (iv) right to participate in the management of and vote on matters coming before the members as provided in the Zoneomics Green Operating Agreement. The transactions discussed above resulted in a joint venture, in accordance with ASC 323-10 – Investments- Equity and Joint Ventures, between the Company and the non-affiliated party. Each of the entities has 50% equity ownership and voting rights, and joint control in Zoneomics Green. In June 2021, the Company contributed $90,000 to Zoneomics Green.

The following represents summarized financial information derived from the financial statements of the Beakon and Zoneomics Green Joint Ventures, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1,469 and $7,819, respectively, which represents the Company’s proportionate share of losses from its joint ventures.

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

Prior to First Amendment executed on December 7, 2022 in which the Company exercised its Early Amortization (see below), all advances under the MAL were to bear interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate plus 2%, or (b) a floor rate equal to the sum of the prime rate as of July 11, 2022 plus 2.25%. From July 11, 2022 to July 11, 2023, Zoned Arizona was to make interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the MAL. From and after July 11, 2023 and continuing until July 11, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”), Zoned Arizona would pay principal together with interest on the MAL in 60 monthly installments based on the interest rate set forth in the Note and a principal amortization schedule of 25 years from July 11, 2023 (or if Zoned Arizona makes the Early Amortization Election, from the date such election is made).

Zoned Arizona may prepay the outstanding principal under the Note, at any time, subject to the provisions of the Note. If Zoned Arizona prepays all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance of the MAL at any time until July 11, 2023, then Zoned Arizona will also pay a premium equal to 1% of the amount prepaid.

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

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

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

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

The preferred stock is not convertible into any other class or series of stock. The holders of the preferred stock are entitled to fifty (50) votes for each share held. Voting rights are not subject to adjustment for splits that increase or decrease the common shares outstanding.

(B) Equity incentive plans

On August 9, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The 2016 Plan was approved by shareholders on November 21, 2016. The 2016 Plan’s purpose is to encourage ownership in the Company by employees, officers, directors and consultants whose long-term service the Company considers essential to its continued progress and, thereby, encourage recipients to act in the stockholders’ interest and share in the Company’s success. The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of awards in the form of options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, options that do not qualify (non-statutory stock options) and grants of restricted shares of common stock. Restricted shares granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan are amortized to expense over the vesting period. Options vest and expire over a period not to exceed seven years. If any share of common stock underlying a stock option that has been granted ceases to be subject to a stock option, or if any shares of common stock that are subject to any other stock-based award granted are forfeited or terminate, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the 2016 Plan. As of March 31, 2023, 1,102,500 stock option awards are outstanding and 428,750 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan. As of December 31, 2022, 1,102,500 stock option awards are outstanding and 367,500 options are exercisable under the 2016 Plan.

The 2014 Plan has been superseded by the 2016 Plan. Accordingly, no additional shares subject to the existing 2014 Plan will be issued and the 1,250,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options will be issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan, if exercised. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, options to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock are outstanding and 1,200,000 options are exercisable pursuant to the 2014 Plan.
