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 identify, develop, and lease sophisticated, safe, and sustainable properties in emerging industries, including the licensed medical marijuana industry. Zoned Properties is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, the Forbes Real Estate Council, and the U.S. Green Building Council. The Company focuses on the strategic development of commercial properties that face unique zoning challenges; identifying solutions that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. Zoned Properties targets commercial properties that can be acquired and re-zoned or permitted for specific purposes. Zoned Properties does not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis or any substances regulated under United States law such as the Controlled Substances Act.

The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:

On May 1, 2018, the Company and the related party tenants cancelled their existing lease agreements. Also on May 1, 2018, the Company entered into new lease agreements relating to the same properties and confidential advisory services agreements with these related parties (see Note 6).

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.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared by us 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 financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 include the collectability of rent, 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are 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. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $435,000 and $574,000, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits.

Fair value of financial instruments 

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, note receivable – related party, prepaid expenses and other current 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.

Accounts and note receivable

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any accounts receivable balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts and notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in general and administrative expense.

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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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. As discussed below under “revenue recognition”, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a write-off of deferred rent – related parties of $1,853,539.

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

Effective on January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from contracts with tenants.

Rental income includes base rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of rent abatements under the leases. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use.

Through April 30, 2018, certain of the Company’s leases contained rental increases at specified intervals. The Company recorded as an asset, and included in revenue, deferred rents receivable that were to be received if the tenant made all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. At December 31, 2017, deferred rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the cumulative difference between rental revenue recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the prior lease terms. On May 1, 2018, the Company and the related party tenants cancelled their existing lease agreements. Also on May 1, 2018, the Company entered into new lease agreements relating to the same properties (See Note 6). These leases provide for payments with fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases. Accordingly, the Company reviewed its deferred rent receivable and determined that the deferred rent receivable of $1,853,539 should be written off since, pursuant to the new lease terms, the deferred rent receivable was not collectible. Accordingly, on May 1, 2018, the Company recorded a write-off of deferred rent receivable – related parties of $1,853,539 in operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidation statements of operations.

Basic and diluted income (loss) per share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net 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 earnings (loss) per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) 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 table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

The following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Segment reporting

The Company’s business is comprised of one reportable segment. The Company has determined that its properties have similar economic characteristics to be aggregated into one reportable segment (operating, leasing and managing commercial properties). The Company’s determination was based primarily on its method of internal reporting.

Income tax

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

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) became effective and, among other items, reduces the current federal income tax rate to 21% from 34%. The rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018, and is permanent.

ZONED PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

The Act has caused the Company’s deferred income taxes to be revalued. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), as of December 31, 2017, the Company recognized the provisional effects of the enactment of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. Since the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the revaluation of the deferred tax assets did not have a material impact on any period presented. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to the Company’s continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued as a result of the Act.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. 

The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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 and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director 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 and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 permits the election of an accounting policy for forfeitures of share-based payment awards, either to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures over the vesting period of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and the cumulative impact of this change did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Through March 31, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 – “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. Using a Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the options, and the Company adjusted the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the second quarter of 2018, and the adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 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. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption and is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. However, the Company currently believes that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will not have a material impact for operating leases where it is a lessor and will continue to record revenues from rental properties for its operating leases on a straight-line basis. However, for leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s administrative office lease, the Company will be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption. In addition, direct internal leasing overhead costs will continue to be capitalized, however, indirect internal leasing overhead costs previously capitalized will be expensed under ASU 2016-02.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which addresses eight cash flow classification issues, eliminating the diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The retrospective transition method, requiring adjustment to all comparative periods presented, is required unless it is impracticable for some of the amendments, in which case those amendments would be prospectively applied as of the earliest date practicable. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

NOTE 3 – RENTAL PROPERTIES

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, rental properties, net consisted of the following:

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, depreciation and amortization of rental properties amounted to $72,430 and $57,812, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, depreciation and amortization of rental properties amounted to $195,797 and $162,503, respectively.

Madison Drive in Tempe, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price of $2.125 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract, the Purchaser paid a deposit of $20,000 within three days of entry into the Purchase Contract, which amount was being held in escrow by a third party. In 2017, the Purchaser deposited an additional deposit of $20,000. The remainder of the purchase price ($2.085 million) was due at closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract, the purchase closed on March 15, 2017. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $831,000. In connection with the sale of its buildings on March 15, 2017, the Company repaid all outstanding principal and interest due on the mortgage payable.

NOTE 5 – NOTE RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

(B) Convertible notes payable – related parties

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 Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, 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 1^st 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. On March 1, 2018, the Company and Alan Abrams entered into a Reaffirmation Agreement whereby Mr. Abrams reaffirmed his personal guarantee of his obligations under certain of the Company’s commercial leases. Additionally, Mr. Abrams affirmed that the principal of the Abrams convertible debt in the principal amount of $2,000,000 was acknowledged as collateral within the scope of the guaranty included in the commercial lease agreements.

The Company’s Prior Leases contained rental increases at specified intervals. Accordingly, through April 30, 2018, rental income includes base rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and was reported on a straight-line basis over the term of the Old Lease, which included the effects of rent abatements under the leases. Through April 30, 2018, the Company recorded as an asset, and included in revenue, rents receivable that will be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. At December 31, 2017, deferred rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the cumulative difference between rental revenue recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms. Based on the terms in the New Lease agreements discussed above, the New Leases do not contain rental increases at specified intervals and base rent revenue will be constant over the New Lease terms.

Pursuant to the terms of the Parachute Agreement, the parties will cooperate in good faith to complete due diligence during a period of 45 days following execution of the Parachute Agreement. The closing is 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 will have 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 October 2017, the Company and a third party entity that is a developer of personalized cannabis medicines and a provider of advanced cultivation methods and processes have entered into a letter of intent outlining three independent agreements to complete research and development projects for licensed medical marijuana facilities to be located in Tempe, Arizona, Parachute, Colorado, and Stockdale, Texas or other locations to be determined after approval of a provisional license under the Texas Compassionate Use program. Under the terms of the letter of intent, the two companies will work together to mutually agree upon terms, provisions and obligations of three simultaneous, independent agreements. Execution of any of the three individual agreements is subject to, among other things, satisfactory due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, each of which will contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. There is no assurance that any or all of the agreements will be executed. The letter of intent included a one-time, non-refundable payment of $25,000 to the Company which was paid in 2017. In 2018, the Company received an additional non-refundable deposit of $25,000 from the third party entity. The payments are consideration for entering into the letter of intent and represents a deposit to be applied towards the potential assignment of the Company’s Parachute development rights which have been valued at $250,000 within the letter of intent.

Rental income and rent receivable – related parties

The Company entered into lease agreements with non-profit companies, CJK and Broken Arrow, who are owned, in whole or part, directly or indirectly, by Messrs. Abrams and Carra, each whom is a significant stockholder of the Company. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2015 and as amended during 2016 and 2017, the Company entered into lease agreements with C3C3, a company indirectly owned by Messrs. Abrams and Carra. Additionally, on March 30, 2017, in connection with a fourth amendment to the commercial lease agreement with C3C3, the Company agreed to defer rent and applicable taxes due for March, April and May 2017 in the form of a note receivable to C3C3 at an 8% interest rate commencing March 1, 2017 and payable over 12 months commencing January 1, 2018. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, note receivable amounted to $46,447 and $182,365, respectively.

On May 1, 2018, the Company and C3C3, CJK, and Broken Arrow cancelled their existing lease agreements. Also on May 1, 2018, the Company entered into new lease agreements relating to the same properties and confidential advisory services agreements with CJK and Broken Arrow (see Note 6). This related party lease restructuring will cause a reduction in the Company’s revenue for the remainder of 2018 of approximately $283,000.

Beginning in 2019, there can be no assurance that the revenues generated under these confidential advisory services agreements will be sufficient to offset any reduction in revenues recognized under the cancelled leases. Any additional reduction in revenue from or loss of such related party leases would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, rental revenue associated with the related party leases described above amounted to $249,638 and $522,103, which represents 95.1% and 97.5% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2018, and the same may be updated from time to time in documents that we file with the SEC.

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 financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Zoned Properties is a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to identify, develop, and lease sophisticated, safe, and sustainable properties in emerging industries, including the licensed medical marijuana 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 the strategic development of commercial properties that face unique zoning challenges; identifying solutions that could potentially have a major impact on cash flow and property value. We target commercial properties that can be acquired and re-zoned or permitted for specific purposes. 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”).

We target commercial properties that can be acquired and potentially re-zoned for specific development purposes, including but not limited to, licensed medical marijuana dispensaries or cultivation facilities. The core of our business involves identifying and acquiring properties that exist within highly regulated zoning regions and may be candidates for re-zoning. This is an essential aspect of our overall growth strategy because we target uniquely zoned properties that are developed as candidates for specific industry operators. Once the properties have been acquired and/or re-zoned, their value may be substantially higher as demand for properties within the specific zoning region increases.

We manage a portfolio of properties that we own, lease, and provide direct development on each property we acquire. This can include complete architectural design and subsequent build-outs, general support, landscaping, general up-keep, facilities management, and state of the art security systems. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, improvements made to rental properties amounted to $421,283 and $368,450, respectively.

In May 2018, we transitioned to a new and strategically important business model designed to better align our interests with those of our tenants and clients, positioning us to benefit from the growth of the medical marijuana industry.

Under the new model, we and our primary tenants in Arizona, Broken Arrow and CJK, doing business as Hana Meds, have agreed to the following:

Our intention with this business pivot was to enable us to grow more significantly alongside our tenants and clients, thereby positioning us to benefit from the growth in the medical marijuana industry, especially as more states consider legalization of medical marijuana and we establish new client relationships. Our tenants have recently expressed to us concern regarding their ability to sustain the 10% gross revenue rent payments, and we are considering whether those arrangements will be mutually beneficial to us and our tenants. We are revisiting the structure of those arrangements, as well as the rent that we could realistically charge, considering the financial impact to our tenants and their ability to sustain these arrangements.

The end of 2018 and 2019 will be heavily focused on the growth of a diversified revenue stream. We intend to accomplish this by prospecting new advisory services across the country for private and municipal clients. We believe that strategic real estate advisory services are likely to emerge as the growth engine for Zoned Properties and are moving to take advantage of new opportunities to create sustainable shareholder value.

As discussed above, on May 1, 2018, the Company and the related party tenants cancelled their existing lease agreements. Also on May 1, 2018, we entered into new lease agreements relating to the same properties and confidential advisory services agreements with these related parties. As of November 1, 2018, a summary of rental properties owned by us, which includes the cancellation of the existing related party lease agreements and the signing of new related party lease agreements, consisted of the following:

Recent Developments

In October 2017, we and a third party entity that is a developer of personalized cannabis medicines and a provider of advanced cultivation methods and processes entered into a letter of intent outlining three independent agreements to complete research and development projects for licensed medical marijuana facilities to be located in Tempe, Arizona, Parachute, Colorado, and Stockdale, Texas or other locations to be determined after approval of a provisional license under the Texas Compassionate Use program. Under the terms of letter of intent, the two companies agreed to work together to mutually agree upon terms, provisions and obligations of three simultaneous, independent agreements. Execution of any of the three individual agreements is subject to, among other things, satisfactory due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, each of which will contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. There is no assurance that any or all of the agreements will be executed. The letter of intent included a one-time, non-refundable payment of $25,000 to the Company which was paid in 2017. In 2018, the Company received an additional non-refundable deposit of $25,000 from the third party entity. The payments are consideration for entering into the letter of intent and represents a deposit to be applied towards the potential assignment of the Company’s Parachute development rights which have been valued at $250,000 within the letter of intent. During 2018 the letter of intent expired and the Company recognized $50,000 of non-refundable deposits as other income. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, deferred revenue related to this letter of intent amounted to $0 and $25,000, respectively.

Currently, 33 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia have passed laws permitting their citizens to use medical cannabis. Marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”), and the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and therefore it is illegal to grow, possess and consume cannabis under federal law. On September 27, 2018, however, the DEA announced that drugs, including “finished dosage formulations” of cannabidiol (“CBD”) and tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) below 0.1%, will be considered Schedule 5 drugs as long as the medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. THC and CBD are two natural compounds found in cannabis plants. THC is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana, while CBD is an antagonist to, and inhibits the physiological action to, THC. The CSA bans cannabis-related businesses; the possession, cultivation and production of cannabis-infused products; and the distribution of cannabis and products derived from it. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court has confirmed that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, including for medical purposes, and that federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use.

Under the Obama Administration, the DOJ previously issued memoranda, including the so-called “Cole Memo” on August 29, 2013, providing internal guidance to federal prosecutors concerning enforcement of federal cannabis prohibitions under the CSA. This guidance essentially characterized use of federal law enforcement resources to prosecute those complying with state laws allowing the use, manufacture and distribution of cannabis as an inefficient use of such federal resources when state laws and enforcement efforts are effective with respect to specific federal enforcement priorities under the CSA.

On January 4, 2018, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a written memorandum rescinding the Cole Memo and related internal guidance issued by the DOJ regarding federal law enforcement priorities involving marijuana (the “Sessions Memo”). The Sessions Memo instructs federal prosecutors that when determining which marijuana-related activities to prosecute under federal law with the DOJ’s finite resources, prosecutors should follow the well-established principles set forth in the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual governing all federal prosecutions. The Sessions Memo states that “these principles require federal prosecutors deciding which cases to prosecute to weigh all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General, the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.” The Sessions Memo went on to state that given the DOJ’s well-established general principles, “previous nationwide guidance specific to marijuana is unnecessary and is rescinded, effective immediately.”

It is unclear at this time what impact the Sessions Memo will have on the medical-use marijuana industry. In addition, pursuant to the current omnibus spending bill previously approved by Congress, the DOJ was prohibited from using funds appropriated by Congress to prevent states from implementing their medical-use cannabis laws. This provision, however, expired on September 30, 2018 and has not been renewed. There is no assurance that Congress will approve inclusion of a similar prohibition on DOJ spending in the appropriations bill for 2019. Although we are not engaged in the purchase, sale, growth, cultivation, harvesting, or processing of medical-use marijuana products, we lease our properties to tenants who engage in such activities, and therefore strict enforcement of federal prohibitions regarding marijuana could irreparably harm our business, subject us to criminal prosecution and/or adversely affect the trading price of our securities.

On May 23, 2018, our chief financial officer resigned and became a consultant to the Company providing accounting and financial reporting services.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, revenues consisted of the following:

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, total revenues amounted to $262,514, including related party revenues of $249,638, as compared to total revenues of $535,394, including related party revenues of $522,103, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $272,880, or 51.0%. This decrease in revenues was attributable to a decrease in rent revenues – related parties of $272,465, or 52.2%, coupled with a decrease in third party rent revenues of $415, or 31.1%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total revenues amounted to $974,416, including related party revenues of $937,137, as compared to total revenues of $1,580,602, including related party revenues of $1,512,609, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $606,186, or 38.4%. This decrease in revenues was attributable to a decrease in third party rent revenues of $30,714, or 45.2%, caused by the sale of one of our Tempe buildings that was leased to a third-party tenant during the first quarter of 2017, as well as a decrease in rent revenues – related parties of $575,472, or 38.0%.

The decreases in rent revenues - related parties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was attributable to the restructuring of related party leases on May 1, 2018, which caused a material reduction in our rent revenues from related party leases. We expect an additional decrease in rent revenues – related parties for the remainder of 2018 of approximately $228,000.

Operating expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, operating expenses amounted to $270,071, as compared to $326,121 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $56,050, or 17.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, operating expenses amounted to $2,821,114, as compared to $1,087,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $1,733,737, or 159.4%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, operating expenses consisted of the following: 

Income (loss) from operations

As a result of the factors described above, including the termination of old related party lease agreements and entering into new related party lease agreements, which caused a decrease in rental income, and the write off of deferred rent receivables related to the old lease agreements, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, loss from operations amounted to $(7,557), as compared to income from operations of $209,273 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a change of $216,830, or 103.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, loss from operations amounted to $(1,846,698), as compared to income from operations of $493,225 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a change of $2,339,923, or 474.4%.

Other income (expenses)

Other income (expenses) primarily includes interest expense incurred on debt with third parties and related parties, and also includes other income (expenses). For the three months ended September 30, 2018, total other income, net amounted to $20,929, as compared to total other expense of $(27,464), representing an increase in other income of $48,393, or 176.2%. The change was attributable to other income of $50,000 related to recognizing a deposit from an expired letter of intent. The increase was slightly offset by a decrease interest income of $1,607. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total other expense, net amounted to $(35,991) as compared to total other income of $695,404, representing a decrease of $731,395, or 105.2%. Pursuant to the terms of a Commercial Real Estate Purchase Contract (the “Purchase Contract”) with a third party dated December 22, 2016, we sold our property located at 422 S. Madison Drive in Tempe, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price of $2.125 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract, we recognized a gain on the sale of this building of approximately $831,000 in 2017. In addition, interest expense decreased by $42,983, and interest expense - related parties decreased by $8,088, as compared to 2017, and other income increased by $50,000 related to recognizing a deposit from an expired letter of intent.

Net (loss) income

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net income amounted to $13,372, or $0.00 per common share, and $181,809, or $0.01 per common share, respectively. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net (loss) income amounted to $(1,882,689), or $(0.10) per common share, and $1,188,629, or $0.06 per common share, 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 $685,045 and $824,240 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Our primary uses of cash have been for salaries, fees paid to third parties for professional services, property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and the acquisition and development of rental properties. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business. We have received funds from the collection of rental income, and from various financing activities such as from the sale of our common stock and from debt financings. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in changes in our liquidity over the near to long term:

We currently budget that we would need to spend approximately $2,500,000 for the acquisition and development of our Parachute Project. These capital expenditures are contingent upon several factors, including the Company obtaining financing for the acquisition and development of the project on such terms and provisions as are acceptable to the Company in our sole and absolute discretion from a lender approved by us in our sole discretion. Accordingly, we can delay or cancel these planned capital expenditures, if necessary.

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 report. Other than revenue received from the lease of our rental properties, funds received from the sale of our common stock and funds received from debt, 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, 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.

As discussed, on May 1, 2018, we cancelled our existing related party lease agreements and entered into new related party lease agreements relating to the same properties. Pursuant to the terms of the new leases, we expect our cash flow to decrease for the remainder of 2018. During the remainder of 2018, the decrease in collections of base rent will be approximately $228,000. This decrease in cash flows will be partially offset by a decrease in property operating expenses such as insurance upon the expiration of current insurance policies, maintenance and utilities. The decrease in operating expenses during the remainder of 2018 will range from approximately $25,000 to $37,500. Beginning in January 2019 when the strategic advisory fees commence, cash flows from the new revenue stream could be greater than what our previous rental revenue model would have yielded. Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion and our future advisory fees effectively could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. However, our tenants have recently expressed to us concern regarding their ability to sustain the 10% gross revenue rent payments, and we are considering whether those arrangements will be mutually beneficial to us and our tenants. We are revisiting the structure of those arrangements, as well as the rent that we could realistically charge, considering the financial impact to our tenants and their ability to sustain these arrangements.

Our future operations are dependent on our ability to manage our current cash balances and on the collection of rental revenues. Our real estate properties are leased to related party tenants under triple-net leases for which terms and expirations vary. We monitor the credit of all tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. We monitor tenant credit by (1) reviewing financial statements and related metrics and information that are publicly available or that are provided to us upon request, and (2) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an assets concentration related to our related party leases. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these related party tenants represented approximately 86.6% and 90.0% 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 less than our current rate per square foot.

We intend to 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 Nine Months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $282,088 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared net cash flow used in operating activities of $110,298 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a change of $392,386.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to $421,283 and consisted of cash used in the development of rental properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash flow provided by investing activities amounted to $1,615,739 and consisted of net proceeds from the sale of a building and related improvements of $1,984,188, offset by cash used in the development of rental properties including the expansion of rentable space by remodeling hoop houses and upgrading ventilation, plumbing and electrical systems of $365,863 and the purchase of property and equipment of $2,586.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $1,080,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received proceeds from convertible debt of $2,020,000, repaid a mortgage payable of $2,100,000 and repaid convertible notes payable of $1,000,000.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

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

The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

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 shareholder’s 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 Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from contracts with tenants.

Rental income includes base rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of rent abatements under the leases. We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use.

Through April 30, 2018, certain of our leases contained rental increases at specified intervals. We recorded as an asset, and included in revenue, rents receivable that was to be received if the tenant made all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. At December 31, 2017, deferred rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the cumulative difference between rental revenue recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the prior lease terms. On May 1, 2018, we and the related party tenants cancelled their existing lease agreements. Also on May 1, 2018, we entered into new lease agreements relating to the same properties. These leases provide for payments fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases with no base rent increases. Accordingly, we reviewed our deferred rent receivable and determined that the deferred rent receivable of $1,853,539 was impaired since, pursuant to the new lease terms, the deferred rent receivable was not collectible. Accordingly, on May 1, 2018, we recorded an a write-off of deferred rent receivable – related parties of $1,853,539 in operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidation statements of operations.

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 and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director 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 and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 permits the election of an accounting policy for forfeitures of share-based payment awards, either to recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures over the vesting period of the award. We elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and the cumulative impact of this change did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Through March 31, 2018, pursuant to ASC 505-50 – “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, all share-based payments to non-employees, including grants of stock options, were recognized in the consolidated financial statements as compensation expense over the service period of the consulting arrangement or until performance conditions are expected to be met. Using a Black-Scholes valuation model, we periodically reassessed the fair value of non-employee options until service conditions are met, which generally aligns with the vesting period of the options, and we adjusted the expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements accordingly. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of the stock-based compensation guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but entities may not adopt prior to adopting the new revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. We early adopted ASU No. 2018-07 in the second quarter of 2018, and the adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 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. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption and is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We will continue to evaluate the effect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. However, we currently believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will not have a material impact for operating leases where we are a lessor and will continue to record revenues from rental properties for our operating leases on a straight-line basis. However, for leases where we are a lessee, primarily for our administrative office lease, we will be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption. In addition, direct internal leasing overhead costs will continue to be capitalized, however, indirect internal leasing overhead costs previously capitalized will be expensed under ASU 2016-02.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which addresses eight cash flow classification issues, eliminating the diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The retrospective transition method, requiring adjustment to all comparative periods presented, is required unless it is impracticable for some of the amendments, in which case those amendments would be prospectively applied as of the earliest date practicable. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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

See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex accounting and financial reporting issues, (2) we had not implemented adequate system and manual controls, (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 and (4) the recent resignation of our Chief Financial Officer who is now is an accounting consultant to the Company. Until such time as we expand our staff to include additional accounting personnel and hire a full time chief financial officer, it is likely we will continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting since the filing of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
