We
have incurred a loss
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20242025 and may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to cover expenses or
generate net income.
For
the thefiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.8 million. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, we had a net
loss attributable to common shareholders of $25.4 million. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to generate sufficient revenue
to pay our expenses or generate net income.
As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $51.9 million.
On a consolidated basis, the Trust’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $2,235,306 as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $3,720 from December 31, 2024
As
of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit
of $49.7$51.9 million and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $25.4$2.8 million.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, the Trust had approximately
$2.2 million of cash and approximately $17.4$452,000 of accounts payable and approximately
$1.36 million of current loan liabilities. The current loan liabilities includefor approximately
$16.7assets millionheld offor a bank loan secured by the majority of the greenhouse portfolio (the “Greenhouse Loan”) and which is non-recourse
to the Trust.sale.
Of the total amount of cash, approximately $2.2 million
is non-restricted cash available for general corporate purposes and approximately $37,000 is restricted cash related to the Greenhouse
Loan.
The
Trust determined that there was substantial doubt
as to its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from
the date of the filing with the SEC of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K as a result of net losses incurred, and increased property maintenance expenses related
to theits greenhouse portfolio.
While the current liabilities far exceed the currentIt
assets, ifis the Trust’s plan to focus on selling properties, entering into new leases, improving cash collections from existing tenants
tenants and the raising capital in the form of debt or equity is effectively implemented, the Trust’s plan could potentially provide enough
enough liquidity to fund its operations. However, the Trust cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity,
including its ability to sell properties, and the failure to do so could negatively impact its future operations.
In 2024, the Trust sold four properties in an effort
to help with liquidity. The net proceeds from the sale of the Salisbury, MA property was approximately $662,000 of unrestricted cash
and the approximately $504,000 of debt was retired at closing and is eliminated from current liabilities. We sold two greenhouse properties
in a transaction that produced approximately $53,000 of restricted cash at closing and, during 20204, generated approximately $345,000
of restricted cash from the debt service related to the seller financing provided which had a remaining balance of $1,005,000 at December
31, 2024 and should help with liquidity to service the Greenhouse Loan. We sold one greenhouse property in a transaction that produced
approximately $51,000 of net proceeds used to service the Greenhouse Loan.
The Greenhouse Loan is in default and in March 2024,
the lender filed a litigation seeking among other things, foreclosure and appointment of a receiver. The Greenhouse Loan is non-recourse
to Power REIT which means that in the event it cannot resolve issues with the lender and they foreclose on the properties, Power REIT
should be able to continue is operation albeit with a smaller portfolio of assets given that non-restricted cash should provide greater
than twelve months of liquidity for capital needs unrelated to the greenhouse properties which are security for the Greenhouse Loan.
The status with the lender may lead to distressed sales which would have a negative impact on our prospects. A forbearance agreement
with the lender for the Greenhouse Loan was effective on May 10, 2024, which provides additional time to retire the loan. The expiration
date of the original forbearance agreement was September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the PW CanRE Holdings entered into an amendment
to the forbearance agreement which moved the expiration of the forbearance agreement to January 31, 2025. As of the date of this filing,
the forbearance agreement has terminated and the greenhouse portfolio is subject to foreclosure but we continue to explore options for
a resolution with the bank see Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-Subsequent Events appearing elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K).
OurOn
January 24, 2025, the Trust entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with AGP pursuant to which it may, from
time to time, issue and sell its common shares in an “at the market offering,” however, AGP is not obligated to sell any
common shares and there are limits on the dollar amount of common shares it can sell pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In addition, the
Trust’s ability to raise capital
through the sale of securities may be limited by the rules of the SEC and NYSE American LLC (“NYSE
American”) that place
limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that may be sold. There can be no assurances that wethe
Trust will be able to raise the funds
needed, needed through the Sales Agreement, especially in light of the fact that ourits ability to sell securities
registered on ourits registration statement on Form S-3 will
be limited until such time as the market value of ourthe Trust’s voting
securities held by non-affiliates is $75 million or more. AlthoughAs weof have

Unfortunately, our tenants related to the greenhouse
portfolio have failed to perform on their lease obligations which has created a significant liquidity issue related to this portfolio
of assets. Power REIT entered into a Greenhouse Loan with initial availability of $20 million that is non-recourse to Power REIT and
has liens against the Power REIT greenhouse portfolio of properties. The balance of the loan as of December 31, 2024, is approximately
$16.7 million and is in default. In March 2024, the lender filed a litigation seeking among other things, foreclosure and appointment
of a receiver. Unfortunately, this may lead to distressed sales which would have a negative impact on our prospects. If we should fail
to generate sufficient revenue to pay our outstanding secured debt obligations, the lenders may foreclose on the security pledged decreasing
our ability to generate revenue and our ability to pay dividends. In addition, Maryland law prohibits the payment of dividends if we
are unable to pay our debts as they come due. A forbearance agreement with the lender for the Greenhouse Loan was effective on May 10,
2024, which provides additional time to retire the loan. The original expiration date of the forbearance agreement was September 30,
2024. On September 30, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the forbearance agreement which moved the expiration of the forbearance
agreement to January 31, 2025. As of the date of this filing, the forbearance agreement has terminated and the greenhouse portfolio is
subject to foreclosure but we continue to explore options for a resolution with the bank (see Subsequent Events).
We
have require cash flows to satisfy oursubstantial debt service.
and preferred shares outstanding with substantial liquidation preference. These obligations may prevent us from usinglimit our cash flows for other purposes.financial
flexibility. If we are unable to satisfy these obligations, we might
default on our debt and our financial condition and results of operations
would be adversely affected.
Our
obligations arising from our indebtedness and property taxes arrearages could
have other negative consequences to our shareholders, including the acceleration of debt related to the loan secured by the greenhouse
portfolio.shareholders. Our failure
to meet our obligations under our debt, we could loseresult in us losing assets due to foreclosure or sale on unfavorable terms.terms such as happened
with respect to the settlement of the Greenhouse Loan. Also, our indebtedness and debt service might limit our ability to refinance existing
debt or to do so at a reasonable cost, might make
us more vulnerable to adverse economic and market conditions, might limit our ability
to take advantage of opportunities, and might discourage
business partners from working with us.
In
addition to our current debt, we might incur additional
debt in the future in order to finance improvementimprovements or development of properties,
acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes,
which could exacerbate the risks described above. These consequences could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The Greenhouse Loan secured by our greenhouse portfolio
is currently in default and the lender has commenced litigation. There can be no assurance that the lender will not foreclose on the
properties which would have a negative impact on valuations relative to orderly sales which we have been pursuing. In addition, any litigation
to enforce the rights of the lender could result in expensive legal fees being incurred by us.
We
have granted lenders security interests in certain
of our assets.assets and may do so in the future. Incurring secured indebtedness, including
mortgage indebtedness, increases our risk of asset and property losses because
defaults on indebtedness secured by our assets, may result
in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and ultimately our loss of the
property or other assets securing any loans for which we are
in default. Any foreclosure on a mortgaged property or group of properties
could have a material adverse effect on the overall value
of our portfolio of properties and more generally on our business.
We are in arrears on property taxes for certain of the Greenhouse Portfolio properties, which exposes us to the possibility of foreclosure.
We currently are in arrears on property taxes for certain Greenhouse Portfolio properties. Unpaid property taxes represent a senior lien on the real estate asset which can ultimately result in the loss of the property through tax foreclosure.
Further
increasing inflation has raised operating
costs for many businesses and, in the future, could impact demand foreign exchange rates or employee
wages. Inflation rates, particularly
in the United States, have increased recently to levels not seen in years, and increased inflation
may result in increases in our operating
costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity and limits on our ability to access credit
or otherwise raise capital. In addition,
the Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns
about inflation, which coupled with reduced
government spending and volatility in financial markets may have the effect of further increasing
economic uncertainty and heightening
these risks.
Our greenhouse properties are related to a nascent industry resulting in payment and other lease defaults and a significant portion of the Greenhouse Portfolio is vacant which can result in a deterioration of value.
We have a limited operating history and operate
in an industry in its very early stages of development that has experienced significant business challenges.
In
July 2019, we announced our new investment focus
of CEA and our first greenhouse property acquisition. As ourthe greenhouseGreenhouse portfolioPortfolio has
expanded, we continue to be subject to many of
the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise. Furthermore,
our tenants and properties are concentrated
in the regulated cannabis industry, an industry in its early stages of development with significant
uncertainties, and we cannot predict
how tenant demand and competition for these properties will change over time. Unfortunately, the market for cannabis compressed dramatically during 2023 and 2024. This has had a dramatic negative
effect on our Greenhouse Portfolio, with most properties vacant or occupied by tenants that are in default, which can result in a deterioration
of value. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to operate our
business successfully or profitably or find additional suitable investments. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to continue
to generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay our operating expenses and make distributions
to stockholders. The results of our
operations and the execution on our business plan depend on the availability of additional opportunities
for investment, the performance
of our existing properties and tenants, the evolution of tenant demand for regulated cannabis facilities,
competition, the evolution
of alternative capital sources for potential tenants, the availability of adequate equity and debt financing,
the federal and state regulatory
environment relating to the regulated cannabis industry, and conditions in the financial markets and
economic conditions.
A significant portion of our greenhouse portfolio is vacant and
ourOur tenants have limited operating histories and may be more susceptible
to payment and other lease defaults, which could continue to
materially and adversely affect our business
Our greenhouse tenants may be unable to renew or maintain their licenses and authorizations for their cannabis operations, which may result in such tenants not being able to operate their businesses and defaulting on their lease payments.
While
certain states in the U.S. have legalized “medical
cannabis,” “adult-use cannabis” or both, medical and adult-use
cannabis remains illegal under federal law. The U.S.
ControlledCSA Substances Act (the “CSA”)currently classifies “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal
law, a
drug or other substance is placed on Schedule I if:
However, the recently issued Trump Executive Order directs federal agencies to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance under the CSA. Schedule III status acknowledges accepted medical use and a lower potential for abuse, and would ease certain restrictions on research and taxation. Key components of the Trump Executive Order include: (i) directing the Attorney General and DEA to complete the process of moving marijuana to Schedule III as quickly as legally permissible; (ii) directives to work with Congress on ensuring access to appropriate full-spectrum CBD products, while restricting high-risk cannabinoid products; and (iii) directing HHS to improve research methods and real-world evidence collection, with the goal of increasing medical marijuana and cannabidiol (CBD) research. It remains unclear how long the reclassification process will take or whether reclassification will result in cannabis companies no longer being subject to Section 280E of the Code. The reclassification of marijuana as a Schedule III controlled substance under the CSA, once complete, will not federally legalize marijuana.
Certain
of Power REIT’s properties have been
negatively impacted by Statestate and local government regulations and approvals that relate to
cannabis cultivation. Power REIT does not
believe that its business is likely in the future to be negatively impacted by existing or
probable federal government regulation or the need for any
federal governmental approval.
Because
we may distribute a significant portion of
our income to our shareholders or lenders, our business may from time to time require substantial
amounts of new capital to pursue our
growth plans. In addition, in order to continue making acquisitions, we would require additional
capital. We may acquire additional capital
from the issuance of securities senior to our common shares, including additional borrowings
or other indebtedness, preferred shares
(such as our Series A Preferred Stock) or the issuance of other securities. We may also acquire
additional capital through the issuance
of additional common shares.shares which will result in dilution to current shareholders. However, we
may not be able to raise additional capital in the future, on favorable terms or at all. Unfavorable
business, market or general economic
conditions could increase our funding costs, limit our access to capital markets or result in a
decision by lenders not to extend credit
to us.
Historically, the Trust’s revenue has been
derived from
a relatively limited number of investments, industries and lessees. During the twelvefiscal monthsyear ended December 31, 2024,
2025, Power REIT collected
approximately 88%93% of its consolidatedrental revenueincome and lease income from thedirect tenantsfinancing oflease threefrom two properties. The tenants are Norfolk Southern
SouthernRailway Railway,and Regulus Solar LLC and Marengo Cannabis LLC which represent 32%, 28%50% and 28%43% of consolidatedrental revenueincome respectively.
Theand concentration percentages includelease income from direct financing lease, respectively,
for the recognitionfiscal ofyear securityended depositsDecember related31, to defaulted leases.2025.
We
are exposed to risks inherent in this sort of
investment concentration. Financial difficulty or poor business performance on the part
of any single lessee or a default on any single
lease will expose us to a greater risk of loss than would be the case if we were more
diversified and holding numerous investments, and
the underperformance or non-performance of any of its assets may severely adversely
affect our financial condition and results from operations.
Our lessees could seek the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws, which could result in the rejection and termination
of our lease agreements and could cause a reduction in our cash flows. Furthermore, we may continue
our portfolio concentration in the
CEA and cannabis sectors, has performed poorly and may continue to lag the broader market as a whole
and also subjects us to more risks
than if we were diversified across many sectors.
To the extent that significant changes in the climate occur, we may experience extreme weather and changes in precipitation and temperature and rising sea levels, all of which may result in physical damage to or a decrease in demand for properties located in these areas or affected by these conditions. Should the impact of climate change be material in nature, including destruction of our properties, or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, changes in federal and state legislation and regulation on climate change could result in us incurring increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties or to protect them from the consequence of climate change.
We may not be able to timely sell our cannabis-related properties at attractive values, or at all, and the transition could adversely affect our results and financial condition.
Power REIT invested in greenhouses for state-licensed cannabis and food cultivation. Unfortunately, the market for both opportunities has been challenging and the Greenhouse Portfolio has performed poorly. Many of our Greenhouse Portfolio properties are unoccupied and certain tenants have experienced operating pressures, delinquencies, or restructurings. We may need to provide rent deferrals or concessions, pursue enforcement, or re-tenant properties, each with uncertain outcomes and costs. High vacancy levels and tenant distress in the cannabis sector may persist or worsen. Extended vacancy can trigger impairment and reduce net operating income and cash flows.
We are currently focused on monetizing the Greenhouse Portfolio, including focusing on selling and or re-leasing the vacant properties and increasing cash flow from the occupied properties. Market demand for assets historically used for cannabis cultivation is limited, financing for prospective buyers may be constrained, and regulatory uncertainty can depress valuations. Properties historically used for cannabis cultivation may face zoning constraints or environmental issues. Certain municipalities restrict future uses or impose remediation/retrofit requirements (e.g., odor mitigation, electrical upgrades, water/waste systems). We may incur capital expenditures or price reductions to address buyer diligence findings. Marketing processes may be prolonged, bidders may withdraw, and we may incur additional carrying costs (taxes, insurance, security, maintenance) and brokerage/transaction expenses. If sales occur below our carrying values, we could recognize losses or additional impairments. Delays or shortfalls in proceeds could adversely impact liquidity, debt service, and our ability to reinvest.
Power REIT will continue to seek to realize value from the retained assets and is exploring a shift in focus and is evaluating opportunistic real estate situations including properties, loans and companies and other opportunities.
Based
on the state of the cannabis and food cultivation
CEA industry, our current and prior tenants within our CEA portfolio have had difficulty generating profits.
The value of these special
purpose properties mymay continue to decline due to vacancies and the perceived difficulty of operating profitably.
Impairment
of long-lived assets is required to be
recorded as a non-cash operating expense. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the third quarter
of 2023 and in2023, all four quarters of 2024,
2024 and the last three quarters of 2025, the Trust concluded that an impairment of value of certain assets
within its CEA portfolio was appropriate based on market conditions.
These impairments also take into account assets held for sale and
the write off of the lease of any associated lease intangible. In 2025, we recorded approximately $562,000 in non-cash impairment charges,
In 2024,
we recorded approximately $20 million in non-cash impairment charges. In 2023, we recorded approximately $8.2 million in non-cash
impairment impairment
charges. In 2022, we recorded approximately $16.7 million in non-cash impairment charges. Any decline in the estimated fair
values of
our assets could result in additional impairment charges in the future. It is possible that such impairments, if required,
could be material.
There can be no assurance that the impaired carrying values will equate to the ultimately realizable value of such
assets.
Many
factors, including changes in interest
rates and the negative perceptions of the cannabis sector generally, can have an adverse effect
on the market value of our assets, our access to debt financing and the trading price of our securities.
Currently,
the maximum federal income tax rate on
dividends, excluding tax on net investment income, from most publicly traded corporations is 20%.
Dividends from REITs, however, do not
qualify for this favorable tax treatment, and the maximum federal income tax rate on dividends
from REITs is 29.6% (which excludes tax
on new investment income). It is possible also that tax legislation enacted in subsequent years
might increase this rate differential.
Our creditWe facilitieshave limitsuspended ourpayments ability to payof dividends onto our common and preferred shares, subject to certain exceptions, and thus
we have deferred payments on our preferred shares and suspended payments on our common
shares. To the extent we pay dividends in the
future, the differing treatment of dividends received from REITs and other corporations
might cause individual investors to view an investment
in REITs as less attractive relative to other corporations, which might negatively
affect the value of our shares.
Our
common shares are equity interests that rank
junior to our indebtedness and other non-equity claims with respect to assets available
to satisfy claims against us, and junior to our
preferred securities that by their terms rank senior to our common shares in our capital
structure, including our Series A Preferred
Stock. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had outstanding debt in the principal amount of $37.4$20 million including accrued interest and expensesmillion.
related to the Greenhouse Loan. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we have issued approximately $8.5 million of our Series A Preferred Stock not
including dividends which are
cumulative and have not been declared. This debt and these preferred securities rank senior to the Trust’s
common shares in our
capital structure. It is possible that we may incur more debt, and issue additional preferred securities as we pursue
our business strategy.
We
are dependent on the diligence, expertise and
business relationships of our management team, particularly Mr. David H. Lesser our Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer and Susan Hollander
our Chief Accounting Officer, to implement our strategy of acquiring and benefitting
from the ownership of infrastructure-related real
property assets. If Mr. Lesser or Ms. Hollander were unable to function on behalf of
the Trust, the Trust’s business and prospects
would be adversely affected. Moreover, Mr. Lesser has other business interests to
which he dedicates a portion of his time that are unrelated
to Power REIT. Ms. Hollander is also a part time employee. Although Mr. Lesser is one of our major shareholders, on occasion,
those other
interests of his may conflict with his interests in Power REIT, and such conflicts may be unfavorable to us.
On occasion, our management may have financial interests
that conflict, or appear to conflict with the Trust’s interests. For example, four of Power REIT’s properties were leased
by tenants in which Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp., formerly Millennium Investment & Acquisition Company (ticker: MILC) had
controlling interests. David H. Lesser, Power REIT’s Chairman and CEO, is also Chairman and CEO of MILC. MILC established cannabis
cultivation projects in Colorado (through a loan), Oklahoma, and Michigan which are related to our May 21, 2021, June 11, 2021, and September
3, 2021 acquisitions and a food crop cultivation project in Nebraska related to our March 31, 2022 acquisition. Total rental income recognized
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 from the affiliated tenants in Colorado, Oklahoma, Michigan and Nebraska was $785,000 which
represents the recognition of a security deposit as income during the third quarter of 2024. The above leases are currently in default
and the tenants have vacated the properties. Also, a portion of the property improvement budget contained in a lease amendment with NorthEast
Kind Assets, LLC for the property located in Maine, amounting to $2,205,000, was to be supplied by IntelliGen Power Systems LLC which
is owned by HBP, an affiliate of David Lesser, Power REIT’s Chairman and CEO. On January 23, 2023, the lease was amended to restructure
the timing of rent payments and eliminate the funding of remaining capital improvements for the cogeneration project, which includes
eliminating payments that were expected to be paid to IntelliGen, a related party. Based on the amendment of the terms with IntelliGen, a total of $1,102,500 was paid for equipment supplied.
On
occasion, our management may have financial interests that conflict, or appear to conflict with the Trust’s interests. Although
our Declaration of Trust permits this type
of business relationship and a majority of our disinterested trustees must approve, and in
those instances did approve, Power REIT’s
involvement in such transactions, in any such circumstance, there may be conflicts of
interest between Power REIT on one hand, and subsidiaries
ofsuch MILC, IntelliGen, Mr. Lesser and his affiliates and interestsaffiliate on the other hand, and such conflicts may be unfavorable to us.
In
addition, if there are changes to the laws, regulations
or administrative decisions and actions that affect us, we may have to incur
significant expenses in order to comply, or we may have
to restrict or change our operations. For example, changes to the accounting
treatment of leases by both lessors and lessees under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)
could change the presentation of information in our financial
statements and as a result affect the perception of our business and our
growth plans. Changes to Internal Revenue Service interpretations
of “real assets” or changes to the REIT portion of the Internal Revenue
Code could affect our plans, operations, financial
condition and share price.
Changes in interest rates may negatively affect
the value of our assets, our access to debt financing and the trading price of our securities.
The value of our investments in certain assets may
decline if long-term interest rates increase. Interest rates have risen significantly of late relative to their recent historically low
levels which will continue to have a negative impact on the perceived or actual values of our assets and dividends, and consequently
the prices of our securities may decline.
We
could experience fluctuations in our quarterly
operating results due to a number of factors, including variations in the returns on our
current and future investments, the interest
rates payable on our debt, the level of our expenses, the levels and timing of the recognition
of our realized and unrealized gains and losses including potential impairments of assets and sales at valuations which are below the
losses,carrying value on our books, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and other business, market and general economic
conditions. Consequently,
our results of operations for any current or historical period should not be relied upon as being indicative
of performance in any future
period.
We may fail to remain qualified as a REIT,
which would reduce the cash available for distribution to our shareholders and may have other adverse consequences.
Qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
is governed by highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are only limited judicial or administrative
interpretations. Our qualification as a REIT also depends on various facts and circumstances that are not entirely within our control.
In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions might all change the tax laws with respect
to the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of qualification as a REIT.
If, with respect to any taxable year, we were to
fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we would not be able to deduct distributions to our shareholders in computing our taxable
income and would have to pay federal corporate income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income. If
we had to pay federal income tax, the amount of money available to distribute to our shareholders would be reduced for the year or years
involved. In addition, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification
was lost and thus our cash available for distribution to our shareholders would be reduced in each of those years, unless we were entitled
to relief under relevant statutory provisions. Failure to qualify as a REIT could result in additional expenses or additional adverse
consequences, which may include the forced liquidation of some or all of our investments.
Our
failure to remain qualified as a REIT would
subject us to U.S. federal income tax and applicable state and local taxes, which would reduce
the amount of cash available for distribution
to our stockholders and have significant adverse consequences on the market price of our
common stock.shares.
We
elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the U.S. Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2019. We
believe that we have been organized and operated
in such a manner as to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT under the Code for such
taxable year and all subsequent taxable years
to date and intend to continue to operate in such a manner in the future. We have not requested
and do not intend to request a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) that we remain qualified as a REIT,
and the statements in this reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K are
not binding on the Service or any court. Qualification as a REIT involvesfor thefederal applicationincome oftax purposes is governed by highly technical and complex Codeprovisions provisionsof
and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”)Code, for which there are only limited
judicial andor administrative interpretations. Our qualification as a REIT also depends on various
facts and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations
and court decisions might all change the tax laws with respect to the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax
consequences of qualification as a REIT. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance
that we will remain qualified as a REIT.
If
we fail to remain qualified as a REIT in any taxable
year, and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we would
be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable
income at regular corporate rates (and possibly increased state and local
taxes). We will not be able to deduct distributions to our
stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify, nor will we be
required to make distributions to our stockholders. In such a case,
we might need to borrow money, sell assets, or reduce or even
cease making distributions in order to pay our taxes. Our payment of income
tax would reduce significantly the amount of cash
available for distribution to our stockholders. If we fail to remain qualified as a
REIT, all distributions to stockholders, to the
extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, will be taxable to the stockholders
as dividend income (which may be subject
to tax at preferential rates) and corporate distributions may be eligible for the dividends
received deduction if they satisfy the
relevant provisions of the Code. Furthermore, if we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we no
longer would be required to distribute
substantially all of our net taxable income to our stockholders. In addition, unless we were eligible
for certain statutory relief
provisions, we could not re-elect to qualify as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year
in which we failed to
qualify qualify.and thus our cash available for distribution to our shareholders would be reduced in each of those years, unless we were
entitled to relief under relevant statutory provisions. We might not be entitled to the statutory relief described in this paragraph
in all circumstances. Failure to qualify as a REIT could result in additional expenses or additional adverse consequences,
which may include the forced liquidation of some or all of our investments.
Section
280E of the Code provides that, with respect
to any taxpayer, no deduction or credit is allowed for expenses incurred during a taxable
year “in carrying on any trade or business
if such trade or business (or the activities which comprise such trade or business)
consists of trafficking in controlled substances
(within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the Controlled Substance Act) which is prohibited
by federal law or the law of any State
in which such trade or business is conducted.” Because cannabis is a Schedule I controlled
substance under the CSA, Section 280E
of the Code by its terms applies to the purchase and sale of medical-use and adult-use cannabis
products. Although we will not be engaged
in the purchase, sale, growth, cultivation, harvesting, or processing of medical-use and adult-use
cannabis products, we will lease our
properties to tenants who will engage in such activities, and therefore our tenants likely will be subject
to Section 280E of the Code.
If the Service were to take the position that, through our rental agreements with our state-licensed cannabis
tenants, we are primarily
or vicariously liable under federal law for “trafficking” a Schedule 1 substance (cannabis) under
Section 280E of the Code
or for any other violations of the CSA, the Service may seek to apply the provisions of Section 280E of the
Code to our company and disallow
certain tax deductions, including for employee salaries, depreciation or interest expense. If such tax
deductions are disallowed, it
might impact our ability to meet the distribution requirements applicable to REITs under the Code, which
could cause us to incur U.S.
federal income tax and fail to remain qualified as a REIT. Because we are not engaged in the purchase or
sale of a controlled substance,
we do not believe that we will be subject to the disallowance provisions of Section 280E of the Code,
and neither we nor our tax advisors
are aware of any tax court cases or guidance from the Service in which a taxpayer not engaged in
the purchase or sale of a controlled
substance was disallowed deductions under Section 280E of the Code. However, there is no assurance
that the Service will not take such
a position either currently or in the future.
In
order to assist us in complying with limitations
on the concentration of ownership of REIT stock imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, among other purposes,
our charter provides that
no natural person or entity may, directly or indirectly, beneficially or constructively own more than 9.9%
(in value or number of shares,
whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate amount of our outstanding shares of allbeneficial classes. interest.
In addition, our Board of Trustees may,
without stockholder action, authorize the issuance of shares of stock in one or more classes
or series, including preferred stock. Our
Board of Trustees may, without stockholder action, amend our charter to increase the number
of shares of stock of any class or series
that we have authority to issue. The existence of these provisions, among others, may have
a negative impact on the price of our common
shares and may discourage third party bids for ownership of our Trust. These provisions
may prevent any premiums being offered to holders
of common shares.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in
Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act. WeDuring the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we identified
a material weakness in our
controls relating to accounting for complex transactions. Specifically, shares of our 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred
Stock, Liquidation Preference $25 per Share (the “Preferred Shares”)Stock were historically
classified as mezzanine equity instead of being classified as equity.equity which resulted in re-stating our financial statements for the
quarter ended June 30, 2024. The weakness has not yet been remediated.
While
we have hired outside consultants to aid in
our accounting for complex transactions and planhave to taketaken remedial action to address the material
weakness in our internal controls, we
cannot provide any assurance that such remedial measures, or any other remedial measures we take,
will be effective. In addition, a material
weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient
period of time and management has concluded,
through testing, that these controls are designed and operate effectively. AlthoughManagement managementplans believesto thatfully remediate the identified material weakness in
our internal controlscontrols, will be remediated,however, there can be no assurance that the deficiencies will
be remediated in the near future or that
the internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid
material weaknesses in our internal controls
in the future. In addition, due to our small number of employees, there can be no assurance
that another weakness will not occur.
As
a result of our failure to maintain an effective
system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately
report our financial results or prevent fraud.
As a result, security holders could lose confidence in our financial and other public
reporting, which would harm our business and the
trading price of our common stock.shares.
Effective
internal control over financial reporting
is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure
controls and procedures, is designed
to prevent fraud. Our failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls, and any failure
by us to implement required new or
improved internal controls or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to
fail to meet our reporting obligations.
In addition, any testing by us, as and when required, conducted in connection with Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section
404, or any subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, as and when
required, may reveal deficiencies in
our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that
may require prospective or retroactive
changes to our financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement.
As a growing company, implementing
and maintaining effective controls may require more resources, and we may encounter internal control
integration difficulties. Our failure
to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, may result in us not being able
to accurately report our financial
results, detect or prevent fraud, or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may, among
other adverse consequences, cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline in the trading
price of our common stock.shares.

Settlement of Greenhouse Loan
The Greenhouse Loan was secured by most of the Greenhouse Portfolio. The Greenhouse Loan was non-recourse to the Trust and in default and the lender had initiated litigation including foreclosure actions. On April 11, 2025, we resolved issues with the lender of the Greenhouse Loan by providing deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure for Greenhouse Portfolio properties in Michigan and Nebraska. In return, the lender released the remaining collateral that was secured by the Greenhouse Loan back to our subsidiaries and released obligations related to the Greenhouse Loan. We will seek to realize value from the retained assets by leasing and/or selling them, if possible. The transaction related to the Greenhouse Loan resulted in the write-off of the Nebraska and Michigan properties, along with the remaining balance of the Greenhouse Loan. It will also relieve the ongoing costs associated with maintaining the Nebraska and Michigan properties. The balance of the Greenhouse Loan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $0 and $16,720,000 (approximately $13.3 million of principal, $2.1 million of interest and default interest and $1.3 million of loan expenses). During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $554,000 and $850,000, respectively, of late charges, forbearance fees, legal fees, foreclosure fees and appraisal fees which is included in interest expense in Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. As a result of settling the Greenhouse Loan obligations through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure for the Nebraska and Michigan properties, we recognized a non-cash gain of approximately $1,093,000. This gain arose from the write-off of both of the Nebraska and Michigan properties with a combined book value of approximately $17,083,000 and the associated loan obligations which totaled approximately $17,997,000, including accrued interest, default interest, and loan modification expenses (late charges, forbearance fees, legal fees, foreclosure fees and appraisal fees) and the write off of accrued property tax of approximately $179,000.

On January 8, 2024, two wholly owned subsidiaries of Power REIT, PW CO CanRE Sherman 6 LLC and PW CO CanRE MF LLC, sold two cannabis related greenhouse cultivation properties located in Ordway, Colorado to an affiliate of a tenant of one of the properties. The properties are described in prior filings as Sherman 6 (the tenant of which is affiliated with the tenant/purchaser) and Tamarack 14 which was vacant. The purchaser was an unaffiliated third party and the price was established based on an arm’s length negotiation. The sale price was $1,325,000. As part of the transaction, PW MF, a subsidiary of the Trust provided seller financing in the amount of $1,250,000 with an initial 10% interest rate that increases over time to 15% until maturity. The seller financing has a three-year maturity with a fixed amortization schedule of $40,000 for the first and second months, $45,000 for the third month and $15,000 per month thereafter until maturity. On May 30, 2025, PW MF agreed to modify the terms of the note whereby payments are based on a 5-year amortization schedule at an 11% per annum interest rate and with monthly payments of $16,052 from May 1, 2025 to April 1, 2030 and a balloon payment for the balance due on May 1, 2030. The note is secured by a first mortgage on the properties and certain corporate and personal guarantees. The gain on sale recognized was approximately $213,000. The Trust has assessed that this is considered a loan modification.
In
the later part of 2022,
we commenced property reviews to establish a plan for the portfolio and, where appropriate, have been disposing
of and seeking to dispose
of properties that we do not believe meet financial and strategic criteria given economic, market and other
circumstances. Disposing
of these properties can enable us to redeploy or recycle our capital to other uses, such as to repay debt, to
reinvest in other real
estate assets and development and redevelopment projects, and for other corporate purposespurposes. assuming the proceeds are in excess of liabilities.
Along these lines,
in 2023 and 2024 we completed sales of assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $9.89$9.81 million which included approximately $2.1
$2.1 million of seller financing provided to the buyers. During 2025, we completed sales of assets for total gross proceeds of approximately
$325,000 which included approximately $105,000 of seller financing provided to a buyer. We also have several properties that we are marketing
for sale and/or lease
which have been classified as “Assets Held for Sale.”

Expenses
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 decreased by $22,708,143, primarily due to a decrease in impairment expense/allowance for receivable of $18,795,056, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in interest expense of $1,807,694 due to the settlement of the Greenhouse Loan, a decrease in depreciation expense of $756,342 as several properties are considered held for sale, a decrease in property expenses of $1,029,078, and a decrease in general and administrative expense of $319,973.
Expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2024 increased $10,741,325 as compared to 2023. This is primarily due to a larger non-cash impairment charge of approximately
$20.0 million in 2024 versus a non-cash impairment charge of $8.2 million in 2023. The impairment charge relates to a write-down of the
value of greenhouse properties. Property expenses, property taxes, general and administrative expense and depreciation expense all decreased
in 2024 by $398,457, $44,218, $258,658 and $1,440,762, respectively which were offset by an increase in interest expense of $1,164,296
in 2024. The depreciation expense decrease was due to assets within the CEA portfolio considered assets held for sale.
Other income decreased by
$431,295 due to a decrease in the gain on disposal of assets of $806,787 in 2024. In 2023 an expense due to debt modification of $160,000
occurred whereas in 2024, non-cash income increased by $215,492 for forgiveness of accounts payable.
Net loss attributable to
common shareholders during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $25,363,569 and $15,018,342, respectively. Net loss attributable
to common shareholders increased by $10,345,227.
Other Income
Other income increased by $845,608 primarily due to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,092,670, a realized gain on marketable securities of $377,578, offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $19,172, a decrease of forgiveness of accounts payable of $350,704 and a loss on sale of properties of $7,628 compared to a gain in 2024 of $247,136.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net loss attributable to common shares during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2,847,910 compared to a net loss of $25,363,569 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $22,515,659.
During 2024, the Trust’s revenue has been
concentrated from certain tenants. For the fiscal year ended 2024, Power REIT collected approximately 88% of its consolidated
revenue the tenants of three properties. The tenants are Norfolk Southern Railway, Regulus Solar LLC and Marengo Cannabis LLC which
represent 32%, 28% and 28% of consolidated revenue respectively. For the fiscal year ended 2023, Power REIT collected approximately
84% of its consolidated revenue from the tenants of two properties. The tenants were Norfolk Southern Railway and Regulus Solar LLC
which represented 45% and 39% of consolidated revenue respectively. The concentration percentages include the income from the recognition of
security deposits related to defaulted leases.

Our current loan liabilities totaled approximately $760,000 as of December 31, 2025 as compared to $17,400,000 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the results of the settlement described in the next paragraph.
Effective April 11, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement with the lender under the Greenhouse Loan that resulted in the write-off of the Nebraska and Michigan properties, along with the remaining balance of the Greenhouse Loan. The transaction also relieves the ongoing costs associated with maintaining the Nebraska and Michigan properties.
Our current loan liabilities totaled approximately
$17.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The current loan liabilities include approximately $16.7 million of a bank loan secured by the
majority of the greenhouse portfolio (the “Greenhouse Loan”) and which is in default and is non-recourse to the Trust. We
are not current on payment of property taxes for the greenhouseGreenhouse portfolioPortfolio. whichThese taxes are included on the Balance Sheet as accrued expenses

On January 24, 2025, the Trust entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”) pursuant to which it may, from time to time, issue and sell its common shares in an “at the market offering,” however, AGP is not obligated to sell any common shares and there are limits on the dollar amount of common shares it can sell pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In addition, the Trust’s ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by the rules of the SEC and NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that may be sold. There can be no assurances that the Trust will be able to raise the funds needed, especially in light of the fact that its ability to sell securities registered on its registration statement on Form S-3 will be limited until such time as the market value of the Trust’s voting securities held by non-affiliates is $75 million or more. As of December 31, 2025, 271,832 common shares have been sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we generated approximately $239,000 of cash from debt service related to the seller financing provided in 2024 and we sold two properties, one of which included another seller finance agreement for $105,000, which amortized over a 60-month period at an interest rate of 11% per annum. The remaining seller financing agreements have a combined remaining balance of $981,035 as of December 31, 2025.
On a consolidated basis, the Trust’s current
liabilities far exceed current assets. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Trust determined that there was substantial
doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern as a result of current liabilities that far exceed current assets, net losses
incurred, and increased property expenses related to the greenhouse portfolio. If the Trust’s plan to focus on selling greenhouse
properties, entering into new leases, improving cash collections from existing tenants and raising capital in the form of debt or equity
is effectively implemented, the Trust’s plan could potentially provide liquidity to support our operations. However, the Trust
cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity. In addition, we are continuing to explore options related
to a resolution of the Greenhouse Loan (see Note 14 - Subsequent Events to the Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024).
In
2024, the Trust sold four properties in an
effort to help with liquidity. The net proceeds from the sale of the Salisbury, MA property was
approximately $662,000 of
unrestricted cash and the approximately $504,000 of debt was eliminated from liabilities. We sold two greenhouseGreenhouse
Portfolio properties in a
transaction that produced approximately $53,000 of restricted cash at closing andand, during 2024, generated approximately

Power REIT will continue to seek to realize value from the retained assets and is exploring a shift in focus and is evaluating real estate distressed situations including properties, loans and companies.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in operating activities was $68,316 and $1,393,709, respectively. The decrease in cash used of $1,325,393 is primarily due to a smaller net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as well as favorable changes in working capital, including a decrease in prepaid expense and a decrease in accrued expenses. This is partially offset by lower non-cash expenses, including primarily lower impairment expense/allowance for receivable for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 2024 and, to a lesser extent, lower depreciation, and share-based compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024.
The Greenhouse Loan is in default and in March 2024,
the lender filed a litigation seeking among other things, foreclosure and appointment of a receiver. The Greenhouse Loan is non-recourse
to Power REIT which means that in the event it cannot resolve issues with the lender and they foreclose on the properties, Power REIT
should be able to continue as a going concern albeit with a smaller portfolio of assets given that non-restricted cash should provide
greater than twelve months of liquidity for capital needs unrelated to the greenhouse properties which are security for the Greenhouse
Loan. The status with the lender may lead to distressed sales which would have a negative impact on our prospects. A forbearance agreement
with the lender for the Greenhouse Loan was effective on May 10, 2024, which provides additional time to retire the loan. The expiration
date of the original forbearance agreement was September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the PW CanRE Holdings entered into an amendment
to the forbearance agreement which moved the expiration of the forbearance agreement to January 31, 2025. As of the date of this filing,
the forbearance agreement has terminated and the greenhouse portfolio is subject to foreclosure but we continue to explore options for
a resolution with the bank (see Note 14—Subsequent Events to the Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024).
Our
cash outlays at Power REIT (parent company) consist
principally of professional fees, consultant fees, NYSE American listing fees, legal,
insurance, shareholder service company fees, auditing
costs and general and administrative expenses. Our cash outlays related to our
various property-owning subsidiaries consist principally
of principal and interest expense on debts, property maintenance, property taxes,
insurance, legal as well as other property related
expenses that are not covered by tenants. To the extent we need to raise additional
capital to meet our obligations, there can be no
assurance that financing on favorable terms will be available when needed. Although
we entered into the Sales Agreement the rules of the SEC and NYSE American place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities
that may be sold. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise the funds needed. If we are unable to sell certain assets
when anticipated at
prices anticipated, we may not have sufficient cash to fund operations and commitments.commitments beyond the next twelve months.
Cash Provided By Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities during for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $542,861 and $1,759,142, respectively. The decrease of $1,216,281 is mainly due to lower proceeds from property sales and, to a lesser extent, less cash received from mortgage loans for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, offset by investment in marketable securities in 2025.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we generated approximately $239,000 of cash from debt service related to the seller financing provided in 2024 and we sold two properties, one of which produced another seller finance agreement for $105,000, which amortizes over a 60- month period at an interest rate of 11% per annum. The seller financing agreements have a combined remaining balance of $981,035 as of December 31, 2025.
Cash Used In Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was $470,825, compared to $2,238,731 in the prior year. The decrease of $1,767,906 is primarily due to lower principal payments on long-term debt, partially offset by new debt proceeds and proceeds from the sale of 271,832 common shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of $287,604 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

On June 2, 2026, the Trust initiated a one-for-ten reverse stock split of shares of the Trust’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), where every ten issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). At the market open on June 3, 2026 (the first business day after the Effective Time), the Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis and has been assigned a new CUSIP number (73933H 309). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder that held fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split were entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount equal to the applicable fraction multiplied by the $8.30, the closing price of the Common Stock on NYSE American on June 2, 2026 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), without any interest. The Reverse Stock Split was applied to all outstanding shares of Common Stock and did not affect any particular stockholder’s relative ownership percentage of shares of Common Stock, except for de minimis changes resulting from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split also did not affect the relative voting or other rights that accompany the shares of Common Stock, except to the extent that it resulted from a stockholder receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares.
On June 24, 2026, a wholly owned subsidiary of Power REIT, PW OK CanRE Vinita LLC, sold its interest in a cannabis related greenhouse cultivation property located in Vinita, Oklahoma. The property was described in prior filings as Vinita and was vacant. The purchaser was an unaffiliated third party and the price was established based on an arm’s length negotiation. The sale price was $315,000 and the loss recognized was approximately $110,000 which includes closing costs.
On
February 11, 2026, the PW CO CanRE Mav 14 LLC (“Mav 14”) property was sold at action.auction. As part of the sale, the Trust wrote
off accrued property tax of approximately $61,000 and recognized a total loss of approximately $494,000.
In
the later part of 2022, we commenced property reviews to establish a plan for the portfolio and, where appropriate, have been disposing
of and seeking to dispose of properties that we do not believe meet financial and strategic criteria given economic, market and other

Accounting Estimates The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles and generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”), which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting
balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates,
requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. None of the estimates are considered critical accounting estimates.

to the Sales Agreement. In addition, the Trust’s ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by the
rules of the SEC and NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities
that may be sold. There can be no assurances that the Trust will be able to raise the funds needed, especially in light of the fact that
its ability to sell securities registered on its registration statement on Form S-3 will be limited until such time as the market value

Our
management believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. Our management believes that alternative measures
measures of performance, such as net income computed under GAAP, or Funds From Operations computed in accordance with the definition
used by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), include certain financial items that are not
indicative of the results
provided by our asset portfolio and inappropriately affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance.
These items include non-recurring expenses, and
certain non-cash expenses, including stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible lease assets, amortization of debt costs, and
depreciation on land improvements, as well as impairment charges and certaingains upfrontor financinglosses costs.
on sale of property. Therefore, management uses Core
FFO and defines it as net income excluding such items. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental
measure for the investing community to employ, including when comparing us to other REITs that disclose similarly computed Core FFO figures,
and when analyzing changes in our performance over time. Readers are cautioned that other REITs may use different adjustments to their
GAAP financial measures than we use, and that as a result, our Core FFO may not be comparable to the FFO measures used by other REITs
or to other non-GAAP or GAAP financial measures used by REITs or other companies.
A
reconciliation of our Core FFO to net income for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 is included in the table below:
