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, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
The Trust is structured as a holding company and owns its assets through twenty-four 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 June 30, 2025 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 82 acres of land with approximately 357,000 square feet of CEA properties in the form of greenhouses (the “Greenhouse Portfolio”).
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Trust did not declare a quarterly dividend of approximately $326,000 ($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 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 a nominal loss on sale based on previous impairments.
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 a loan previously secured by the Trust’s Greenhouse Portfolio (“the Greenhouse Loan”) and pay other accrued expenses related to the property. There wasno gain/loss on sale recognized based on previous impairments.
On January 24, 2025 the Trust entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners pursuant to which it may, from time to time, issue and sell its common shares, however, the Sales Agent 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.
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, 2023, the last tax return completed to date, the Trust has a net operating loss of $30.8 million, which may reduce or eliminate this requirement.
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, Power REIT resolved issues with its lender concerning 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 back to subsidiaries of Power REIT and released obligations related to the Greenhouse Loan. Power REIT will continue to seek to realize value from these retained assets by leasing and/or selling. The transaction related to the Greenhouse Loan resulted in the write-off of the Nebraska and Michigan properties in the amount of approximately $16,904,000, which includes the write off of accrued property tax of approximately $179,000, along with the remaining balance of the Greenhouse Loan in the amount of approximately $17,997,000. The transaction also relieves the ongoing costs associated with maintaining the Nebraska and Michigan properties. As a result of settling the Greenhouse Loan obligations through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for the Nebraska and Michigan properties, the Trust recognized a non-cash gain of approximately $1,093,000.
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; however, amounts are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC. Amounts previously included in restricted cash represented funds held by the Trust related to debt service payment reserves required by the lender of the Greenhouse Loan but since that obligation was satisfied in April, 2025, the restricted cash as of June 30, 2025 is $0.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the Trust’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash that sums to the total of those amounts at the end of the periods presented on the Trust’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $1,481,349 | $2,194,502 |
| Restricted cash | - | 37,084 |
| Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | $1,481,349 | $2,231,586 |
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.
Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the total number of common stock equivalents was 192,778 and composed of stock options.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per Share:
| Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, | June 30, | |||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net income (loss) | $320,913 | $(19,145,169) | $(1,092,199) | $(21,222,167) |
| Preferred Stock Dividends | (163,207) | (163,207) | (326,414) | (326,414) |
| Numerator for basic and diluted EPS - income (loss) available to common shareholders | $157,706 | $(19,308,376) | $(1,418,613) | $(21,548,581) |

| Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share | $0.05 | $(5.70) | $(0.42) | $(6.36) |
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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $20,000 and $183,000 depreciation expense was recorded, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $23,000 and $672,000 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 June 30, 2025 and 2024, an impairment charge was expensed in the amount of approximately $14,000 and $17,449,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, an impairment charge was expensed in the amount of approximately $14,000 and $17,999,000, respectively, of which approximately $13,209,000 was for the Michigan and Nebraska properties that are no longer owned by the Trust.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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.
Lease revenue from land that is subject to an operating lease without rent escalation provisions is recorded on a straight-line basis.
The following table provides the breakdown of rental income recognition (not including the direct finance lease):
| Three Months Ended · Six Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, | June 30, | |||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Straight-Line Rent | $200,779 | $200,779 | $401,558 | $401,558 |
| Cash Basis Rent | 35,360 | 29,000 | 45,360 | 88,860 |
| Rental income | $236,139 | $229,779 | $446,918 | $490,418 |
Deferred rent receivable as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is approximately $489,000 and $338,000, 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 June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $57,000 of the intangibles was amortized. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $114,000 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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The following table provides a summary of the Intangible Assets:
| Cost | Accumulated Amortization Through 12/31/24 | Accumulated Amortization Through 6/30/2025 | Net Book Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asset Intangibles - PWRS | $4,713,548 | $2,436,615 | $113,744 | $2,163,189 |
The following table provides a summary of the current estimate of future amortization of Intangible Assets for the subsequent years ending December 31:
| 2025 (Six months remaining) | $113,744 |
| 2026 | $227,488 |
| 2027 | $227,488 |
| 2028 | $227,488 |
| 2029 | $227,488 |
| Thereafter | $1,139,493 |
| Total | $2,163,189 |
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 June 30, 2025, the Trust owns publicly traded REIT securities with a fair market value of approximately $161,000, based on the June 30, 2025 closing prices. As of December 31, 2024, the Trust owned publicly traded REIT securities with a fair market value of approximately $10,000, based on the December 31, 2024 closing prices.
Mortgage Loan Receivables
On October 30, 2023, PW ME CanRE SD LLC (“PW SD”) provided seller financing in connection with the sale of the two Maine properties in the form of an $850,000 note with an 8.5% interest rate that will accrue until maturity on October 30, 2025. The note is secured by a second mortgage on the property and certain corporate and personal guarantees. On December 10, 2024, the property owner sold one of the two properties, and PW SD received a payment in the amount of $253,000 which paid down the note to a balance of $597,000. The net note payment was paid to the lender of the Greenhouse Loan. PW SD assessed the collectability and deemed no allowance was needed as of June 30, 2025. The principal balance of the note was $597,000 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
On January 6, 2024, PW CO CanRE MF LLC (“PW MF”) provided seller financing in conjunction with selling the Sherman 6 and Tamarack 14 properties in the amount of $1,250,000 with an initial 10% interest rate that increases over time to 15% until maturity. The seller financing had a three-year maturity with a fixed amortization schedule of $40,000 for the first month and second months, $45,000 for the third month and $15,000 per month thereafter until maturity. The note is secured by a first mortgage on the properties and certain corporate and personal guarantees. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the loan was $930,000 and $1,005,000 respectively. On June 9, 2025, PW MF agreed to modify the terms of the note whereby payments are based on a five-year amortization schedule at an 11% per annum interest rate and with a balloon payment for the balance due on May 1, 2030. PW MF assessed the collectivity and deemed no allowance was needed as of June 30, 2025.
On June 9, 2025, PW MF provided seller financing in conjunction with selling the Tamarack 13 property in the amount of $105,000 with an 11% per annum interest rate until maturity. The seller financing has a five-year maturity and fully amortizes over the life of the note with fixed monthly payments of $2,283 per month. The note is secured by a first mortgage on the property and a personal guarantee of the owner of the entity which purchased the property. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the balance of the loan is $105,000 and $0, respectively. PW MF assessed the collectivity and deemed no allowance is needed as of June 30, 2025.

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.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and Administrative Expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is approximately $341,000 and $359,000, respectively, which includes a non-cash share-based compensation expense of approximately $143,000 and $191,000, respectively. General and Administrative Expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is approximately $668,000 and $813,000, respectively, which includes a non-cash share-based compensation expense of approximately $286,000 and $407,000, respectively.
Preferred Stock
As of June 30, 2025, the Trust has issued approximately $8.5 million of its Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no stated maturity, are not currently subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless they are redeemed, repurchased or converted.
3 –GOING CONCERN
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 December 31, 2024, the Trust had incurred recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows and had current liabilities that were in excess of current assets. However, management has developed and is implementing a plan intended improve liquidity and fund the Trust’s ongoing operations. The plan included a transaction related to the resolution of the Greenhouse Loan. The Trust believes that, based on its current forecasts, its cash on hand, together with cash flow from operations and potential borrowings through either equity raises or debt issuances, 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. However, 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 $1,481,349 as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $750,237 from December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the decrease in cash was primarily due to the monthly expenses related to the vacant greenhouse properties and paydown of the indebtedness.
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. In return, the lender released the remaining collateral back to subsidiaries of Power REIT and released obligations related to the Greenhouse Loan. 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 Trust intends to continue 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 to provide liquidity. However, the Trust cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of these actions to generate liquidity.
Power REIT’s cash outlays at the parent company level consist principally of professional fees, consultant fees, NYSE American listing fees, legal, insurance, shareholder service company fees, auditing costs and general and administrative expenses. The Trust’s cash outlays related to its 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 the Trust needs to raise additional capital to meet its obligations, there can be no assurance that financing on favorable terms will be available when needed. If the Trust is unable to sell certain assets when anticipated at prices anticipated, the Trust may not have sufficient cash to fund operations and commitments.

The Plan’s purpose is to secure and retain the services of Employees, Trustees and Consultants; to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Trust and to provide a means by which such persons may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the common shares through the granting of awards. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate number of shares of common shares that may be issued pursuant to outstanding awards is currently 2,348,710 which is subject to adjustment per the Plan.
Summary of Share-Based Compensation Activity – Options
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 vest 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 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 used a 0% forfeiture rate in calculating unrecognized share-based compensation expense and will account for forfeitures as they occur. On February 29, 2024,4,722 options were forfeited due to the death of a Trustee.
The summary of share-based compensation activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025, with respect to the Trust’s stock options, is as follows:
