(“Zoned Properties” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2003. In October 2013, the Company changed its name to Zoned Properties, Inc. and in April 2014, the Company shifted its business model to address commercial real estate in the regulated cannabis industry. Zoned Properties is a technology-driven property investment company focused on acquiring value-added real estate within the regulated cannabis industry in the United States. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Zoned Properties is redefining the approach to commercial real estate investment through its standardized investment model backed by its proprietary property technology. Zoned Properties has developed a national ecosystem of real estate services to support its real estate development model, including a commercial real estate brokerage and a real estate advisory practice. The Company operates in two organized segments; (1) the operations, leasing and management of its commercial properties, herein known as the “Property Investment Portfolio” segment, and (2) the advisory, brokerage and technology services related to commercial properties, herein known as the “Real Estate Services” segment. The Company targets commercial properties that face unique zoning or development challenges, identifies solutions that can potentially have a major impact on their commercial value, and then works to acquire the properties while securing long-term, absolute-net leases. The Company does not grow, harvest, sell or distribute cannabis or any substances regulated under United States law such as the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, as amended (the “CSA”).</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

As reflected in these consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,854,415 and had cash provided by operations of $781,476 during the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $837,767 and stockholders’ equity of $3,067,626. Furthermore, on December 31, 2025 and effective January 1, 2026, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Absolute Net Lease Agreements with certain tenants (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events). The Amended and Restated Absolute Net Lease Agreements include, among other provisions, (i) a right of first refusal with a right of first refusal period of up to 60 days and (ii) a short-term exclusive option that permits the tenant to purchase, on an all-or-none basis, three leased properties (Chino Valley, Green Valley and Kingman). The Purchase Option originally stated that the Purchase Option may be exercised during an option period ending March 30, 2026; however, the parties have subsequently agreed that optionee will have until April 10, 2026 to exercise the Purchase Option, and if exercised, requires a closing no later than June 30, 2026. Additionally, on January 15, 2026, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of its properties to a company owned by management (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events). The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent upon the Buyer obtaining financing. If the Company sells some or all of its properties, it will have minimal or no operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this Annual Report. There can be no assurance that the Company will sell its properties. If the Company sells its properties, the Company’s cash flow provided by operating activities would decrease substantially and the Company may need to raise capital through debt and/or equity financings to fund any ongoing operations, may need to curtail its operations, or may decide the liquidate the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b> </b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Use of estimates</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 include the collectability of accounts and other receivables, 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 of the lease liability and related right-of-use asset, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of derivative asset or liability related to interest rate swap, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, including options and stock-based compensation.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Risks and uncertainties</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 states that have legalized and regulated cannabis. Additionally, the Company’s tenants operate in the state-legalized and state-regulated cannabis industry. Consequently, any significant economic downturn in the state markets in which the Company operates 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 or absolute-net leases to tenants (each, a “Significant Tenant” and collectively, the “Significant Tenants”). For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, revenues associated with Significant Tenants amounted to $2,393,049 and $2,366,645, respectively, which represents 57.8% and 62.4% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively (see Note 3).</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Fair value of financial instruments</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, capitalized project costs, escrow deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, <i>Fair Value Measurement</i> (“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.

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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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.

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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Accounts receivable</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method.

In accordance with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Investment in equity method unconsolidated joint ventures</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b> </b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company has equity investments in various privately held entities.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3,118,716 due to (1) the damage and demolition of its building located in Chicago, IL, where a vehicle crashed into the building, causing significant structural damage, and the City of Chicago declared the building unsafe and ordered its demolition, and (2) in an effort to avoid litigation related to the defaults under the lease, the Company is currently in negotiations to sell the Woodward Property to the New Tenant for approximately $600,000 in cash plus the assumption of the notes payable outstanding on the Woodward Property. If the Company sells the Woodward Property for $600,000, the net carrying value of the Woodward Property of approximately $2,700,000 would exceed the $600,000 sale price by $2,100,000. While the Company believes the sale is likely to occur, there is a possibility that the sale will fail to occur, in which case there is a strong likelihood that the New Tenant will be unable to continue paying rent, causing an ongoing default under the lease.

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 previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 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 property investment portfolio revenues. 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. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $1,000,000 to the tenant of ZP Dysart as a tenant improvement allowance for investment into the premises. The $1,000,000 payment to the tenant was used by the tenant to construct a building on the land as well as for the buildout of the property. Since ZP Dysart will own the building and related improvements at the end of the lease, the $1,000,000 tenant improvement allowance was capitalized to rental properties and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the building and related improvements beginning when the building and related improvements is placed in service, which occurred in September 2025. 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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company records revenues from rental properties for its operating leases where it is the lessor on a straight-line basis.

Additionally, in connection with operating leases on various properties, the Company abated certain lease payments. These rent abatements and the effect of recording rent on a straight-line basis resulted in aggregate deferred rent as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 of $1,084,413 and $747,504, 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation.

As reflected in these consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,854,415 and had cash provided by operations of $781,476 during the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $837,767 and stockholders’ equity of $3,067,626. Furthermore, on December 31, 2025 and effective January 1, 2026, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Absolute Net Lease Agreements with certain tenants (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events). The Amended and Restated Absolute Net Lease Agreements include, among other provisions, (i) a right of first refusal with a right of first refusal period of up to 60 days and (ii) a short-term exclusive option that permits the tenant to purchase, on an all-or-none basis, three leased properties (Chino Valley, Green Valley and Kingman). The Purchase Option originally stated that the Purchase Option may be exercised during an option period ending March 30, 2026; however, the parties have subsequently agreed that optionee will have until April 10, 2026 to exercise the Purchase Option, and if exercised, requires a closing no later than June 30, 2026. Additionally, on January 15, 2026, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of its properties to a company owned by management (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events). The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent upon the Buyer obtaining financing. If the Company sells some or all of its properties, it will have minimal or no operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this Annual Report. There can be no assurance that the Company will sell its properties. If the Company sells its properties, the Company’s cash flow provided by operating activities would decrease substantially and the Company may need to raise capital through debt and/or equity financings to fund any ongoing operations, may need to curtail its operations, or may decide the liquidate the Company.

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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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, <i>Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures</i>, 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 asset or liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value reflected in change in fair value of interest rate swap on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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.</p> 328000 510000 250000 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Accounts receivable</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries under the current expected credit loss method. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. In accordance with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is recognized in general and administrative expenses.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Investment in equity method unconsolidated joint ventures</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company has equity investments in various privately held entities. The Company accounts for these investments either under the equity method. 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company’s equity method 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 equity method unconsolidated joint ventures.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Investment in cost method investees</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company accounts for its interests in entities where the Company has virtually no influence over operating and financial policies under the cost method of accounting. In such cases, the Company’s original investments are recorded at the cost to acquire the interest and any distributions received are recorded as income. During the year ended December 31, 2025, through its wholly-owned subsidiary ZPRE Holdings, the Company invested $84,110 in ZP Ohio B for a 5% ownership interest in ZP Ohio B, which is accounted for under the cost method and reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet under “investment in cost-method investee.” ZP Ohio B plans on developing several projects.

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”). This equity instrument does not have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, the Company elected to measure this equity security at its cost minus impairment. In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performed a qualitative impairment assessment on a quarterly basis and shall recognize an impairment loss if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investment is less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in non-operating income (loss). On December 31, 2025, based on its qualitative assessment, the Company impaired its equity investment and recorded an impairment loss on equity securities of $50,000 (see Note 5).</p> 84110 0.05 50000 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Rental properties</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Rental properties are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

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. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3,118,716 due to (1) the damage and demolition of its building located in Chicago, IL, where a vehicle crashed into the building, causing significant structural damage, and the City of Chicago declared the building unsafe and ordered its demolition, and (2) in an effort to avoid litigation related to the defaults under the lease, the Company is currently in negotiations to sell the Woodward Property to the New Tenant for approximately $600,000 in cash plus the assumption of the notes payable outstanding on the Woodward Property. If the Company sells the Woodward Property for $600,000, the net carrying value of the Woodward Property of approximately $2,700,000 would exceed the $600,000 sale price by $2,100,000. While the Company believes the sale is likely to occur, there is a possibility that the sale will fail to occur, in which case there is a strong likelihood that the New Tenant will be unable to continue paying rent, causing an ongoing default under the lease. Based on these conditions, our projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, and market conditions have changed. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an impairment loss of $2,100,000..

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 previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 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 property investment portfolio revenues. 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. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $1,000,000 to the tenant of ZP Dysart as a tenant improvement allowance for investment into the premises. The $1,000,000 payment to the tenant was used by the tenant to construct a building on the land as well as for the buildout of the property. Since ZP Dysart will own the building and related improvements at the end of the lease, the $1,000,000 tenant improvement allowance was capitalized to rental properties and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the building and related improvements beginning when the building and related improvements is placed in service, which occurred in September 2025. 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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. In prior years, the Company has amended certain leases which resulted in the abatement of rent. Additionally, in connection with operating leases on various properties, the Company abated certain lease payments. These rent abatements and the effect of recording rent on a straight-line basis resulted in aggregate deferred rent as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 of $1,084,413 and $747,504, 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.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 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 ASC 842.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">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 consolidated statements of operations.</p> 87581 30000 97312 500000 1000000 1000000 1000000 1084413 747504 0.06 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Basic net 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.

Pursuant to the Sunday Goods Lease, ZPRE Holdings has agreed to provide a tenant improvement allowance for up to $1,000,000 to Sunday Goods to be reimbursed in tranches following completion of tenant’s work. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $1,000,000 to Sunday Goods as a tenant improvement allowance. The $1,000,000 payment to the tenant were used by the tenant to construct a building on the land as well as for the buildout of the property. Since ZP Dysart will own the building and related improvements at the end of the lease, the $1,000,000 tenant improvement allowance was capitalized to rental properties and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the building and related improvements beginning in September 2025. In September 2025, Sunday Goods completed the construction of a new retail dispensary building on the Surprise Property and opened for business. Pursuant to the terms of the Contingent Lease, on February 27, 2024, Sunday Goods executed a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of ZP Holdings, guaranteeing the prompt and complete payment and performance of all of Sunday Goods’ obligations to ZPRE Holdings arising under the Contingent Lease. As of July 8, 2024, all contingencies were satisfied and the Contingent Lease commenced on July 13, 2024. Pursuant to the Sunday Goods Lease, beginning in July 2025, Sunday Goods began paying monthly base rent of $25,000 which shall be paid through June 2026, with an annual increase of 3% per annum through June 2040.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On March 3, 2025, ZP Dysart entered into a First Amendment with its tenant related to the Sunday Goods Lease at the Surprise Property. The First Amendment clarifies and defines the process by which the tenant improvement Allowance for the Tenant Work at the Surprise Property would be completed. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sunday Goods Lease, and so long as there is no default ongoing beyond any notice and/or cure period, partial payments of the Allowance (the “Allowance Payments”) provided by Landlord shall be made to Tenant as follows: (#1) $300,000 was paid upon the full execution of the First Amendment to the Lease; (#2) $150,000 was paid on March 28, 2025; (#3) $150,000 to be paid on May 1, 2025; and (#4) the remaining $400,000 of the Allowance was paid on October 21, 2025 upon completion of the Tenant’s Work on the Property; provided however, Landlord’s obligation to disburse the final $400,000 (Payment #4 of the Allowance Payments) is expressly conditioned upon Landlord’s receipt of the following “Allowance Deliverables”: (i) Tenant has furnished to Landlord a copy of a commercially reasonably detailed final cost breakdown for Tenant’s Work and Landlord has inspected the Premises to confirm that Tenant’s Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner according to the Tenant’s Approved Plans; (ii) Tenant has furnished to Landlord commercially reasonable final affidavits and final lien releases from Tenant’s general contractor, and if any, all subcontractors and all material suppliers for all labor and materials performed or supplied as part of Tenant’s Work (whether or not the Allowance is applicable thereto); and (iii) a copy of the certificate of occupancy from the governmental authority having jurisdiction has been delivered to Landlord.

In 2025, the Company was notified that a vehicle crashed into the building, causing significant structural damage. The City of Chicago declared the building unsafe and ordered its demolition. As such, the Ashland Avenue Property remains a vacant lot of land. Based upon the most recent information received by the Company from Justice Grown, the Company believes that the development of the new retail dispensary building will still be completed, and the tenant will open for business in late 2027; however, challenges related to the ongoing permitting and development process required through the City of Chicago may continue to cause delays. The Company’s tenant is expected to continue to pay full rent pursuant to the Justice Grown Lease. If Justice Grown does not construct the new building, the Company may need to pursue recovery through legal claims. In connection with the damage and demolition of the building, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,018,716.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On July 8, 2024, ZP Dysart acquired a property in Surprise AZ (the “Surprise Property”) from NWC Dysart &amp; Bell LLC (“NWC”). Surprise Property is a tract or parcel of land containing approximately 1.114 acres, together with all improvements, buildings, leases, rights, easements, and appurtenances pertaining thereto. The Surprise Property was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $1,712,541, which included (i) $1,100,000, representing the Purchase Price, (ii) reimbursement to NWC for onsite and offsite improvements of $492,022, and (iii) closing costs, commissions, and fees customary to the acquisition of real estate of $120,519.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><span style="text-decoration:underline">2025</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $1,000,000 to Sunday Goods as a tenant improvement allowance. The $1,000,000 payment to the tenant was used by the tenant to construct a building on the land as well as for the buildout of the property. Since ZP Dysart will own the building and related improvements at the end of the lease, the $1,000,000 tenant improvement allowance was capitalized to rental properties and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the building and related improvements beginning when the building and related improvements was placed in service, beginning in September 2025. In September 2025, Sunday Goods completed the construction of a new retail dispensary building on the Surprise Property and opened for business.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">During the third quarter of 2025, New Tenant faced operational challenges that impaired its ability to meet contractual rent obligations. Beginning in July 2025, New Tenant remitted approximately 50% of the rent then due. In August 2025, the Company sent a demand notice to New Tenant to remit full payment of outstanding rent. In September 2025, New Tenant remitted full payment of all outstanding rent that was previously due and has received all rent payments due through December 31, 2025. Subsequent to year-end 2025, the Company sent New Tenant at the Woodward Property a written notice default related to the New Tenant’s failure to i) make timely rental payments and ii) fulfill its obligations related to non-monetary terms under the Woodward Lease. As of the date of this filing, the Company remains in discussions with New Tenant about curing these events of default and regarding future operations at the Woodward Property. In an effort to avoid litigation related to the defaults under the lease, the Company is currently in negotiations to sell the Woodward Property to the New Tenant for approximately $600,000 in cash plus the assumption of the notes payable outstanding on the Woodward Property. If the Company sells the Woodward Property for $600,000, the net carrying value of the Woodward Property of approximately $2,700,000 would exceed the $600,000 sale price by $2,100,000. While the Company believes the sale is likely to occur, there is a possibility that the sale will fail to occur, in which case there is a strong likelihood that the New Tenant will be unable to continue paying rent, causing an ongoing default under the lease. Based on these conditions, our projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, and market conditions have changed. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an impairment loss of $2,100,000.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence but does not exercise financial and operating control over this entity. 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. The Zoneomics Green team has completed the creation of the foundational design, technology platform, and market positioning for Zoneomics Green to launch in the cannabis industry; however, the project has stalled over the past year. In order to successfully launch, the technology platform needs to rely upon a required merchant banking component, which is has been unable to identify. The Company does not currently know when an appropriate merchant banking solution will become 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 Zoneomics Green. The regulatory status related to cannabis banking reform and regulation at the federal level remains uncertain and the Company believes it is appropriate to cause an impairment of the Zoneomics Green investment at this time. The Company has no further financial or investment obligations at this time. On December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $45,000 because it was determined that the fair value of its equity method investment in Zoneomics 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 Zoneomics was impaired.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

During the year ended December 31, 2025, through its wholly-owned subsidiary ZPRE Holdings, the Company invested $84,110 in ZP Ohio B, for a 5% ownership interest in ZP Ohio B, which is being accounted for under the cost method and reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet under “investment in cost-method investees.” ZP Ohio B plans on developing several projects.

The Company’s ownership percentage is less than 20% and it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. This equity instrument does not have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 321-10-35-2, the Company elected to measure this equity security at its cost minus impairment. If the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, the Company shall measure the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. If the Company subsequently elects to measure this equity security at fair value, the Company shall measure all identical or similar investments of the same issuer, including future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer, at fair value. The election to measure this equity security at fair value shall be irrevocable. Any resulting gains or losses on the securities for which that election is made shall be recorded in earnings at the time of the election. On December 31, 2025, based on its qualitative impairment assessment, the Company impaired its equity investment and recorded an impairment loss on equity securities of $50,000. </p> 0 4923 0.50 45000 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred income tax asset as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 because it was not known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. Additionally, the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income is subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that may occur in the future. The 2017 estimated loss carry forward of approximately $1,026,401 expires on December 31, 2037. Subsequent to 2017, all estimated loss carry forwards may be carried forward indefinitely subject to annual usage limitations. Based on the Company’s analysis to determine the limitation on the utilization of its net operating loss carryforward amounts, in 2018, the deferred tax asset was reduced by any carryforward that cannot be utilized or expires prior to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. In 2025, the valuation allowance increased by $727,049. The potential tax benefit arising from certain loss carryforwards will expire in 2038.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position.

margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On December 31, 2025, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Chino Valley, Green Valley, and Kingman (collectively, the “Landlords”), entered into Amended and Restated Absolute Net Lease Agreements (the “A&amp;R Leases”) with the respective tenant entities Broken Arrow Herbal Center, Inc. (Chino Valley and Green Valley) and CJK, Inc. (Kingman) (each, a “Tenant”), each with an effective date of January 1, 2026. Each A&amp;R Lease provides for an initial term of 14 years commencing January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2039, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms. The A&amp;R Leases are contingent upon, among other conditions, the consummation of a change of control transaction involving the Tenant(s), including the transfer of majority ownership and control of the applicable Tenant to A&amp;R Consultants, LLC (or its designee) and the transfer of the applicable cannabis license to A&amp;R Consultants, LLC (or its designee). Pursuant to the A&amp;R Leases, A&amp;R Consultants, LLC will provide a guaranty of payment and performance in favor of each Landlord. Base rent under the A&amp;R Leases varies by property and is set forth in the respective rent schedules (including, for example, monthly base rent of $3,500 for the Green Valley property and $4,000 for the Kingman property, and a step-up schedule for the Chino Valley property). The A&amp;R Leases include, among other provisions, (i) a right of first refusal with a right of first refusal period of up to 60 days and (ii) a short-term exclusive option that permits the Tenant to purchase, on an all-or-none basis, the three leased properties (Chino Valley, Green Valley and Kingman) for an aggregate purchase price of $9.0 million (the “Purchase Option”). The Purchase Option may be exercised during an option period ending March 30, 2026; however, the parties have subsequently agreed that optionee will have until April 10, 2026 to exercise the Purchase Option, and if exercised, requires a closing no later than June 30, 2026. The Purchase Option contemplates (a) a $400,000 non-refundable earnest money deposit to be applied toward the down payment, (b) a $4.0 million cash down payment at closing, and (c) $5.0 million of seller financing. The seller financing would bear interest at 7% per annum over a 36-month term with payments calculated on a 15-year amortization schedule and a balloon payment at maturity, and would be secured by loan documentation (including a loan agreement, promissory note and deeds of trust) against all three properties. The properties would be conveyed on an as-is/where-is basis without representations or warranties from the applicable landlord/seller. In connection with the anticipated change of control transaction for the Chino Valley Tenant, on December 30, 2025, the Company, through Chino Valley Properties, LLC, entered into a Consent of Landlord and Agreement Regarding Lease (the “Consent Agreement”) with Broken Arrow Herbal Center, Inc., AC Management Group, LLC (the existing guarantor), A&amp;R Consultants, LLC (the new guarantor) and Elevate Holdings, Group, LLC. The Consent Agreement provided, among other things, that the Landlord’s consent to the sale transaction is conditioned on the payment to Landlord at closing of (i) $389,984 for past due rent, additional rent and late charges and (ii) $965,000 as compensation for rent concessions reflected in the A&amp;R Lease, both of which were received by the Company on March 31, 2026. Upon receipt of such amounts, the Consent Agreement provided for the release of the existing guarantor from liability for periods after closing and A&amp;R Consultants, LLC executed a new guaranty of the A&amp;R Lease.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><i>Management Buyout Asset Purchase Agreement</i></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On January 15, 2026, the Company entered into the MBO APA by and among the Seller Parties and the Buyer.

As of the date of this filing, the Company remains in discussions with the tenant about these events of default and regarding future operations at the Woodward Property. In an effort to avoid litigation related to the defaults under the lease, the Company is currently in negotiations to sell the Woodward Property to the New Tenant for approximately $600,000 in cash plus the assumption of the notes payable outstanding on the Woodward Property. If the Company sells the Woodward Property for $600,000, the net carrying value of the Woodward Property of approximately $2,700,000 would exceed the $600,000 sale price by $2,100,000. While the Company believes the sale is likely to occur, there is a possibility that the sale will fail to occur, in which case there is a strong likelihood that the New Tenant will be unable to continue paying rent, causing an ongoing default under the lease.
