Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1 –GENERAL INFORMATION
Power REIT (the “Registrant” or the “Trust”, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries or “Power REIT”, unless the context requires otherwise) is a Maryland-domiciled, internally-managed real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) that owns a portfolio of real estate assets related to transportation, energy infrastructure and Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”) in the United States.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Trust, as defined below, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.
The Trust is structured as a holding company and owns its assets through seventeen direct and indirect wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiaries that have been formed in order to hold real estate assets, obtain financing and generate lease revenue. As of March 31, 2026 the Trust’s assets consisted of approximately 112 miles of railroad infrastructure and related real estate which is owned by its subsidiary Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad (“P&WV”), approximately 447 acres of fee simple land leased to a utility scale solar power generating project with an aggregate generating capacity of approximately 82 Megawatts (“MW”) and approximately 77 acres of land with approximately 330,000 square feet of CEA properties in the form of greenhouses (the “Greenhouse Portfolio”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Trust did not declare a quarterly dividend of approximately $163,000 ($0.484375 per share per quarter) to holders of Power REIT’s 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
On February 11, 2026, the PW CO CanRE Mav 14 LLC (“Mav 14”) property was sold at action. 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.
The Trust has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a REIT, which means that it is exempt from U.S. federal income tax if a sufficient portion of its annual income is distributed to its shareholders, and if certain other requirements are met. In order for the Trust to maintain its REIT qualification, at least 90% of its ordinary taxable annual income must be distributed to shareholders. As of December 31, 2024, the last tax return completed to date, the Trust has a federal net operating loss of $41.0 million, which may reduce or eliminate this requirement.
2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
The Trust considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Power REIT places its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Trust’s deposits may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage limits which are currently set at $250,000 per depositor. The Trust has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
Stock Based Compensation Accounting Policy
The Trust records all equity-based incentive grants to officers and non-employee members of the Trust’s Board of Trustees in general and administrative expenses in the Trust’s Consolidated Statement of Operations based on their fair value determined on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term of the outstanding equity awards.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Power REIT and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similar to basic net loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The dilutive effect of the Trust’s options is computed using the treasury stock method. As of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total number of common stock equivalents was 187,500, composed entirely of stock options.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share:
| Three Months Ended | ||

| March 31, | ||
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss | $(893,272) | $(1,413,112) |

| Denominator: | ||
| Denominator for basic and diluted EPS - Weighted average shares | 3,672,274 | 3,389,661 |
| Basic and diluted loss per common share | $(0.29) | $(0.47) |
Real Estate Assets and Depreciation of Investment in Real Estate
The Trust expects that most of its transactions will be accounted for as asset acquisitions. In an asset acquisition, the Trust is required to capitalize closing costs and allocates the purchase price on a relative fair value basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no acquisitions. In making estimates of relative fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Trust utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property, its own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in its portfolio and other market data. The Trust also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the relative fair value of the tangible acquired. The Trust allocates the purchase price of acquired real estate to various components as follows:
| ● | Land – Based on actual purchase if acquired as raw land. When property is acquired with improvements, the land price is established based on market comparables and market research to establish a value with the balance allocated to improvements for the land. |
| ● | Improvements – When a property is acquired with improvements, the land price is established based on market comparables and market research to establish a value with the balance allocated to improvements for the land. The Trust also evaluates the improvements in terms of replacement cost and condition to confirm that the valuation assigned to improvements is reasonable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line method over the useful life of the improvements. |
| ● | Lease Intangibles – The Trust recognizes lease intangibles when there’s an existing lease assumed with the property acquisitions. In determining the fair value of in-place leases (the avoided cost associated with existing in-place leases) management considers current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases in arriving at an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period from vacant to existing occupancy. In estimating carrying costs, management includes reimbursable (based on market lease terms) real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, as well as estimates of lost market rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods. The values assigned to in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the lease. The fair value of above-or-below market leases is estimated based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of market lease rates measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. An above market lease is classified as an intangible asset and a below market lease is classified as an intangible liability. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a reduction of, or an addition to, rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases. |
| Intangible assets related to leasing costs consist of leasing commissions and legal fees. Leasing commissions are estimated by multiplying the remaining contract rent associated with each lease by a market leasing commission. Legal fees represent legal costs associated with writing, reviewing, and sometimes negotiating various lease terms. Leasing costs are amortized over the remaining useful life of the respective leases. | |
| ● | Construction in Progress (CIP) - The Trust classifies greenhouses or buildings under development and/or expansion as construction-in-progress until construction has been completed and certificates of occupancy permits have been obtained upon which the asset is then classified as an improvement. The value of CIP is based on actual costs incurred. |
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 20 years for greenhouses,10 years for the MIP,39 years for auxiliary buildings, except for PW CA Canndescent, LLC for which it was determined that the buildings have a useful life of 37 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately $11,000 and $3,000 depreciation expense was recorded, respectively.
Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Trust has several properties that are considered assets held for sale. See Note 7 for discussion of its assets held for sale.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property might not be recoverable, which is referred to as a “triggering event.” A property to be held and used is considered impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying value of the property. This estimate takes into consideration factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors.
If there is a triggering event in relation to a property to be held and used, the Trust will estimate the aggregate future cash flows, less estimated capital expenditures, to be generated by the property, undiscounted and without interest charges. In addition, this estimate may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or when a range of possible values is estimated.
The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management, including the expected course of action at the balance sheet date that would lead to such cash flows. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in the anticipated action to be taken with respect to the property could impact the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could materially affect the Trust’s net income. To the extent estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the estimated fair value of the property.
While the Trust believes its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding a number of factors, including market rents, listing prices, economic conditions, and occupancies, could significantly affect these estimates. When impairment exists, the long-lived asset is adjusted to an estimate of fair value. In estimating fair value, if appraisal reports are available, the Trust uses the sales comparable approach methodology where applicable within appraisal reports; when appraisal reports are not available, the Trust uses opinions of value from brokers involved with listing properties for sale and other market value information available to it. The Trust will record an impairment charge if it believes that there is other than a temporary decline in market value below the carrying value of the investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, an impairment charge was expensed in the amount of approximately $247,000 and $0, respectively
Any decline in the estimated fair values of the Trust’s assets could result in impairment charges in the future. It is possible that such impairments, if required, could be material.
Revenue Recognition
The Railroad Lease (“P&WV Lease”) is treated as a direct financing lease. As such, income to P&WV under the Railroad Lease is recognized when received.
Lease revenue from solar land and CEA properties are accounted for as operating leases. Any such leases with rent escalation provisions are recorded on a straight-line basis when the amount of escalation in lease payments is known at the time Power REIT enters into the lease agreement, or known at the time Power REIT assumes an existing lease agreement as part of an acquisition (e.g., an annual fixed percentage escalation) over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment, with the difference between the contractual rent receipts and the straight-line amounts recorded as “deferred rent receivable” or “deferred rent liability”. Collectability is assessed at quarter-end for each tenant receivable using various criteria including past collection issues, the current economic and business environment affecting the tenant and guarantees. If collectability of the contractual rent stream is not deemed probable, revenue will only be recognized upon receipt of cash from the tenant. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Trust did not write off any straight-line rent receivable against rental income. Expenses for which tenants are contractually obligated to pay, such as maintenance, property taxes and insurance expenses are not reflected in the Trust’s consolidated financial statements unless paid by the Trust.
The following table provides the breakdown of rental income recognition (not including the direct finance lease):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Straight-Line Rent | $200,779 | $200,779 |
| Cash Basis Rent | 14,900 | 10,000 |
| Rental income | $215,679 | $210,779 |
Deferred rent receivable as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is approximately $529,000 and $328,000, respectively.
Intangibles
A portion of the acquisition price of the assets acquired by PW Regulus Solar, LLC (“PWRS”) has been allocated on the Trust’s consolidated balance sheets between Land and Intangibles’ fair values at the date of acquisition. The total amount of in-place lease intangible assets established was approximately $4,714,000, which is amortized over a 20.7-year period. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately $57,000 of the intangibles was amortized.
Intangible Assets are evaluated whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. There wereno impairment charges recorded for Intangible Assets for the three ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The following table provides a summary of the Intangible Assets:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accumulated Amortization · Accumulated Amortization | ||||
| Cost | Through 12/31/25 | Through 3/31/2026 | Net Book Value | |
| Asset Intangibles - PWRS | $4,713,548 | $2,664,103 | $56,872 | $1,992,573 |

| 2028 | $227,488 |
| 2029 | $227,488 |
| 2030 | $227,488 |
| Thereafter | $912,005 |

Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease – Railroad
P&WV’s net investment in its leased railroad property, recognizing the lessee’s perpetual renewal options, was estimated to have a current value of $9,150,000, assuming an implicit interest rate of 10%.
Fair Value
Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Trust measures its financial assets and liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
| ○ | Level 1 – valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds. |
| ○ | Level 2 – valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 includes U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and agency debt securities, and certain corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| ○ | Level 3 – valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. |
In determining fair value, the Trust utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk.
The carrying amounts of Power REIT’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their relatively short-term maturities. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Trust owns publicly traded REIT securities with a fair market value of $52,160 and $86,537, respectively, based on the closing prices of those dates.

If the property taxes remain delinquent, the remaining Greenhouse Portfolio will be subject to tax foreclosure actions.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
The Trust has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements and believes either they are not applicable or that none of them will have a significant effect on the Trust’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” to improve disclosures about the nature of expenses in commonly presented financial statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3 –LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE
The Trust’s objectives when managing its capital are to seek to ensure that there are adequate capital resources to safeguard the Trust’s ability to continue operating and maintain adequate levels of funding to support its ongoing operations and development such that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders. The Trust’s management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
As of March 31, 2026, the Trust had incurred recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows. However, Trust believes that, based on its current forecasts, its cash on hand, together with cash flow from operations, should be sufficient to fund the Trust’s capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of its consolidated financial statements. The Trust can make no assurance regarding its ability to achieve its forecasts, which are materially dependent on the Trust’s financial performance and the ever-changing market.
On a consolidated basis, the Trust’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,036,085 as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $199,221 from December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the decrease in cash was primarily due to the monthly expenses related to the vacant greenhouse properties, general and administrative expenses and paydown of the indebtedness.
The Trust intends to continue to focus on maximizing the value of the greenhouse properties. This will include entering into new leases and selling properties based on market conditions. The Trust will also continue to focus on improving cash collections from existing tenants. In addition, the Trust is exploring strategic alternatives that may or may not include real estate investments in an effort to increase shareholder value. The Trust may also raise capital in the form of debt or equity to provide liquidity. However, the Trust cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of these actions to generate liquidity.
4 –DISPOSITIONS
2026 Dispositions
On February 11, 2026, the PW CO CanRE Mav 14 LLC (“Mav 14”) property was sold at action. 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.
2025 Dispositions
On June 9, 2025, a wholly owned subsidiary of Power REIT, PW CO CanRE MF LLC, sold a cannabis related greenhouse cultivation property located in Ordway, Colorado. The property was described in prior filings as Tam 13 and was vacant. The purchaser was an unaffiliated third party who had previously acquired two adjacent properties from subsidiaries of the Trust and the price was established based on an arm’s length negotiation. The sale price was $125,000 and the subsidiary of the Trust provided $105,000 of seller financing which amortizes over a 60-month period at an interest rate of 11% per annum. There was an approximately $8,000 loss on sale based on previous impairments taken.
As previously disclosed, a subsidiary of the Trust had a loan secured by most of the greenhouse properties which was non-recourse to the Trust and in default and the lender had initiated litigation including foreclosure actions. On April 11, 2025, Power REIT resolved issues with its lender concerning the Greenhouse Loan by providing deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure for greenhouse properties in Michigan and Nebraska. 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.
On January 31, 2025, a wholly owned subsidiary of Power REIT, PW CO CanRE JAB LLC, sold one of its interests in a cannabis related greenhouse cultivation property located in Ordway, Colorado. The property was described in prior filings as Tam 18 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 $200,000 and the net proceeds were used to pay down the Greenhouse Loan and pay other accrued expenses related to the property. There wasno gain/loss on sale recognized based on previous impairments.
5 –DIRECT FINANCING LEASES AND OPERATING LEASES
Information as Lessor Under ASC Topic 842
To generate positive cash flow, as a lessor, the Trust leases its facilities to tenants in exchange for payments. The Trust’s leases for its railroad, solar farms and greenhouse cultivation facilities have lease terms ranging between 5 and 99 years. Payments from the Trust’s leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or on a cash basis for tenants with collectability issues. During the three ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Trust wrote off a net amount of $0 in straight-line rent receivable against rental income. Total revenue from its leases recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is approximately $444,000 and $439,000, respectively.
The following table provides the breakdown of revenue:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Lease income from direct financing lease - Railroad | $228,750 | $228,750 |
| Rental income from operating lease - Solar farm lease | $200,779 | $200,779 |
| Rental income from operating lease - Greenhouse - Cannabis lease | $14,900 | $10,000 |
| Lease income | $444,429 | $439,529 |
Due to significant price compression in the wholesale cannabis market, the Trust’s cannabis related tenants have experienced severe financial distress. Unfortunately, starting in 2022, collections from the CEA portfolio has diminished to a nominal amount. The Trust intends to continue to focus on maximizing the value of the CEA portfolio. This will include entering into new leases and selling properties based on market conditions. The Trust will also continue to focus on improving cash collections from existing tenants. In addition, the Trust is exploring strategic alternatives that may or may not include real estate investments in an effort to increase shareholder value.
Historically, the Trust’s revenue has been concentrated to a relatively limited number of investments, industries and lessees. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Power REIT recognized approximately 96% of its rental income and lease income from direct financing lease from two properties. The tenants are Norfolk Southern Railway and Regulus Solar LLC which represent 51% and 45% of rental income and lease income from direct financing lease, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Power REIT collected approximately 98% of its rental income and lease income from direct financing lease from two properties. The tenants were Norfolk Southern Railway and Regulus Solar LLC which represented 52% and 46% of rental income and lease income from direct financing lease, respectively.
The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rentals on non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2026 for assets and assets held for sale where revenue recognition is considered on a straight-line basis:
| Assets Held for Use | |
|---|---|
| 2026 (9 months remaining) | 718,814 |
| 2027 | 828,155 |
| 2028 | 836,388 |
| 2029 | 844,703 |
| 2030 | 853,099 |
| Thereafter | 3,457,460 |

ATM Program
On January 24, 2025, the Trust entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with AGP pursuant to which the Trust 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 the Trust can sell pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Trust sold 10,781 common shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $10,945.

On July 15, 2022, the Trust granted non-qualified stock options (“options”) to acquire 205,000 common shares at a price of $13.44 to its independent trustees, officers and an employee. The term of each option is 10 years. The options vested over three years as follows: in a series of thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments measured from the Vesting Commencement Date on the same date of the month as the Vesting Commencement Date which is August 1, 2022. The options are fully vested.
The Trust accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. The Trust recognizes all share-based payments in its financial statements based on their grant date fair values and market closing price, calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
The following assumptions were made to estimate fair value:
| Expected Volatility | 63% |
|---|---|
| Expected Dividend Yield | 0% |
| Expected Term (in years) | 5.8 |
| Risk Free Rate | 3.05% |
| Estimate of Forfeiture Rate | 0% |
The Trust uses historical data to estimate dividend yield and volatility and the “simplified method” as described in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin #110 to determine the expected term of the option grants. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve on the grant date. The Trust does not have historical data of forfeiture, and as a policy, has used a 0 percent forfeiture rate in calculating unrecognized share-based compensation expense and will instead, account for forfeitures as they occur. On January 31, 2023,6,250 options were forfeited and on April 30, 2023,1,250 options were forfeited by an employee who is no longer employed by the Trust. On February 29, 2024,4,722 options and on August 29, 2025,5,278 options were forfeited due to the death of a Trustee.

| Summary of Activity - Options | |||
|---|---|---|---|
