EXPLANATORY NOTE

Strawberry Fields REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) is amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K to add Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting to Part II, Item 9A.

Current certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. Additionally, because this Amendment does not include financial statements, the Company is not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and financial officer, is responsible for and has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. In May 2013, the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (the “2013 Framework”) was released by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The 2013 Framework updates and formalizes the principles embedded in the original Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued in 1992 (the “1992 Framework”), incorporates business and operating environment changes and improves the original 1992 Framework’s ease of use and application.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In conducting this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by COSO in the 2013 Framework. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company has maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.

Limitations on Controls

Our system of internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
