Zoned Properties Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Financial ResultsPosted by On


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–()–Zoned Properties®, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: ZDPY), a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to provide real estate and sustainability services for the regulated cannabis industry, positioning the Company for real estate investments and revenue growth, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Company Highlights

  • Zoned Properties successfully leveraged its Arizona property portfolio to receive a commitment of at least $8 million from our significant tenant, to be applied toward infrastructure expansion. To date, nearly $8 million has been invested into the expansion projects located in Arizona, primarily in Chino Valley. Development and delivery of the current expansion is in its final stages of completion, with anticipated operational readiness by the end of the second quarter of 2021. The completion of operational readiness at Chino Valley triggers an amendment to the lease, which Zoned Properties anticipates will lead to a material increase in rental revenue when completed.
  • Zoned Properties completed an initial $100,000 strategic investment into national cannabis retail franchisor, The Open Dør, and then increased its investment to $200,000 subsequent to year-end. Zoned Properties will benefit both directly and indirectly from this investment as the Company will receive a portion of all initial franchise fees and renewal fees and may convert its investment for up to a 33% equity stake in the franchisor organization. Zoned Properties also anticipates playing a significant role in real estate operations and investments as the franchisor’s real estate partner.
  • The Company advanced many of its existing and new growth divisions, and expects to have material updates in the coming months. Existing and new growth divisions include the Company’s Advisory Services, Brokerage Services, Franchise Services, and Real Estate Data Services.
  • In Arizona and across the nation, the advancement of regulated cannabis legislation reflects the overwhelming support from the majority of American voters for the regulated cannabis industry.

Full-Year 2020 Financial Results

  • Revenues were $1.22 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1.26 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should not place any undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control which could, and likely will, materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Any forward-looking statement reflects the Company’s current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity.

COVID-19 Statement

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. Currently, all of the properties in our portfolio are open to our Significant Tenants and their customers and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. We did not experience in 2020, and we do not foresee in 2021, any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. Our tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.
