[10-Q] Power REIT Quarterly Earnings Report
Power REIT (PW) filed its Q2-25 Form 10-Q. The REIT reported a swing to profitability for the quarter, largely driven by a $1.09 million gain from extinguishing the non-recourse Greenhouse Loan via deeds-in-lieu on Michigan and Nebraska assets. Q2 total revenue was $506.8k (-2% YoY) while expenses fell sharply as 2024’s large CEA impairment charges did not recur; impairment this quarter was only $13.6k. Net income attributable to common shareholders reached $157.7k, or $0.05/share, versus a $19.3 million loss in the prior-year quarter.
For the six months, revenue slipped to $992.6k (-6%), and the Trust posted a $1.4 million net loss. Cash and equivalents declined to $1.48 million from $2.19 million at year-end as operating cash flow remained negative (-$677k). Total assets dropped to $27.9 million from $46.1 million after transferring CEA properties and reclassifying assets held for sale. Debt fell materially: the $16.7 million Greenhouse Loan was eliminated, leaving $20.9 million of debt (fixed-rate railroad and solar loans). Equity stands at $5.95 million.
- No common or preferred dividends were declared; undeclared Series A preferred dividends now total $0.97/share.
- Tenant concentration remains high: 95% of H1-25 revenue came from Norfolk Southern (51%) and Regulus Solar (44%).
- The filing reiterates going-concern risk but management expects asset sales, leasing activity and potential capital raises to fund operations over the next 12 months.
Power REIT (PW) ha depositato il modulo 10-Q per il secondo trimestre 2025. Il REIT ha riportato un ritorno alla redditività nel trimestre, principalmente grazie a un guadagno di 1,09 milioni di dollari derivante dall'estinzione del prestito non ricorrente Greenhouse tramite atti di cessione su beni immobili in Michigan e Nebraska. Il fatturato totale del secondo trimestre è stato di 506,8 mila dollari (-2% su base annua), mentre le spese sono diminuite drasticamente poiché le significative svalutazioni CEA del 2024 non si sono ripetute; in questo trimestre la svalutazione è stata solo di 13,6 mila dollari. L'utile netto attribuibile agli azionisti comuni ha raggiunto 157,7 mila dollari, ovvero 0,05 dollari per azione, rispetto a una perdita di 19,3 milioni di dollari nello stesso trimestre dell'anno precedente.
Nei primi sei mesi, i ricavi sono scesi a 992,6 mila dollari (-6%) e il Trust ha registrato una perdita netta di 1,4 milioni di dollari. La liquidità e le disponibilità sono diminuite a 1,48 milioni di dollari dai 2,19 milioni di fine anno, poiché il flusso di cassa operativo è rimasto negativo (-677 mila dollari). Gli asset totali sono scesi a 27,9 milioni di dollari da 46,1 milioni dopo il trasferimento delle proprietà CEA e la riclassificazione di attività destinate alla vendita. Il debito è diminuito significativamente: il prestito Greenhouse da 16,7 milioni di dollari è stato eliminato, lasciando un debito di 20,9 milioni di dollari (prestiti a tasso fisso per ferrovie e solare). Il patrimonio netto si attesta a 5,95 milioni di dollari.
- Non sono stati dichiarati dividendi comuni o privilegiati; i dividendi privilegiati non dichiarati della Serie A ammontano ora a 0,97 dollari per azione.
- La concentrazione dei locatari resta elevata: il 95% dei ricavi del primo semestre 2025 proviene da Norfolk Southern (51%) e Regulus Solar (44%).
- Il documento ribadisce il rischio di continuità aziendale, ma la direzione prevede che le vendite di asset, l'attività di locazione e potenziali aumenti di capitale finanzieranno le operazioni nei prossimi 12 mesi.
Power REIT (PW) presentó su formulario 10-Q del segundo trimestre de 2025. El REIT reportó un giro hacia la rentabilidad en el trimestre, impulsado principalmente por una ganancia de 1,09 millones de dólares al extinguir el préstamo Greenhouse sin recurso mediante escrituras de cesión sobre activos en Michigan y Nebraska. Los ingresos totales del segundo trimestre fueron de 506,8 mil dólares (-2% interanual), mientras que los gastos disminuyeron drásticamente ya que las grandes cargas por deterioro CEA de 2024 no se repitieron; el deterioro en este trimestre fue solo de 13,6 mil dólares. El ingreso neto atribuible a los accionistas comunes alcanzó 157,7 mil dólares, o 0,05 dólares por acción, frente a una pérdida de 19,3 millones de dólares en el mismo trimestre del año anterior.
En los primeros seis meses, los ingresos bajaron a 992,6 mil dólares (-6%), y el Trust registró una pérdida neta de 1,4 millones de dólares. El efectivo y equivalentes disminuyeron a 1,48 millones de dólares desde 2,19 millones a fin de año, ya que el flujo de caja operativo se mantuvo negativo (-677 mil dólares). Los activos totales cayeron a 27,9 millones de dólares desde 46,1 millones tras transferir propiedades CEA y reclasificar activos mantenidos para la venta. La deuda disminuyó significativamente: se eliminó el préstamo Greenhouse de 16,7 millones, quedando una deuda de 20,9 millones de dólares (préstamos a tasa fija para ferrocarril y solar). El patrimonio neto es de 5,95 millones de dólares.
- No se declararon dividendos comunes ni preferentes; los dividendos preferentes no declarados de la Serie A ahora suman 0,97 dólares por acción.
- La concentración de inquilinos sigue siendo alta: el 95% de los ingresos del primer semestre de 2025 provino de Norfolk Southern (51%) y Regulus Solar (44%).
- La presentación reitera el riesgo de continuidad operativa, pero la dirección espera que las ventas de activos, la actividad de arrendamiento y posibles aumentos de capital financien las operaciones durante los próximos 12 meses.
Power REIT (PW)는 2025년 2분기 Form 10-Q를 제출했습니다. 이 REIT는 이번 분기에 수익성으로 전환했으며, 이는 주로 미시간과 네브래스카 자산에 대한 비소구형 Greenhouse 대출을 권리 이전을 통해 소멸시켜 109만 달러의 이익을 기록한 데 힘입은 것입니다. 2분기 총 수익은 50만 6,800달러(전년 동기 대비 -2%)였으며, 2024년 대규모 CEA 손상차손이 재발하지 않아 비용은 크게 감소했습니다; 이번 분기 손상차손은 13,600달러에 불과했습니다. 보통주 주주에게 귀속되는 순이익은 15만 7,700달러, 주당 0.05달러로, 전년 동기 1,930만 달러 손실에서 크게 개선되었습니다.
상반기 매출은 99만 2,600달러(-6%)로 감소했고, 트러스트는 140만 달러 순손실을 기록했습니다. 현금 및 현금성 자산은 연말 219만 달러에서 148만 달러로 줄었으며, 영업 현금 흐름은 계속해서 마이너스(-67만 7,000달러)를 기록했습니다. 총 자산은 CEA 자산 이전 및 매각예정자산 재분류 후 2,790만 달러로 4,610만 달러에서 감소했습니다. 부채는 크게 줄었는데, 1,670만 달러의 Greenhouse 대출이 제거되어 2,090만 달러의 부채(고정금리 철도 및 태양광 대출)만 남았습니다. 자본은 595만 달러입니다.
- 보통주 및 우선주 배당금은 선언되지 않았으며, 선언되지 않은 A 시리즈 우선주 배당금은 현재 주당 0.97달러에 달합니다.
- 임차인 집중도는 여전히 높으며, 2025년 상반기 수익의 95%가 Norfolk Southern(51%)과 Regulus Solar(44%)에서 나왔습니다.
- 제출 서류는 계속기업 위험을 재확인하지만, 경영진은 향후 12개월 동안 자산 매각, 임대 활동 및 잠재적 자본 조달을 통해 운영 자금을 조달할 것으로 예상하고 있습니다.

Power REIT (PW) hat seinen 10-Q-Bericht für das zweite Quartal 2025 eingereicht. Der REIT meldete eine Rückkehr zur Profitabilität im Quartal, hauptsächlich getrieben durch einen Gewinn von 1,09 Millionen US-Dollar aus der Tilgung des nicht rückzahlbaren Greenhouse-Darlehens mittels Abtretung von Grundpfandrechten an Vermögenswerten in Michigan und Nebraska. Die Gesamterlöse im zweiten Quartal betrugen 506,8 Tsd. US-Dollar (-2% im Jahresvergleich), während die Aufwendungen deutlich zurückgingen, da die großen Wertminderungen der CEA aus 2024 nicht erneut anfielen; die Wertminderung in diesem Quartal betrug nur 13,6 Tsd. US-Dollar. Der auf Stammaktionäre entfallende Nettogewinn erreichte 157,7 Tsd. US-Dollar bzw. 0,05 US-Dollar je Aktie, gegenüber einem Verlust von 19,3 Millionen US-Dollar im Vorjahresquartal.
Für die ersten sechs Monate sanken die Erlöse auf 992,6 Tsd. US-Dollar (-6%) und der Trust verzeichnete einen Nettogewinnverlust von 1,4 Millionen US-Dollar. Zahlungsmittel und Äquivalente sanken von 2,19 Millionen auf 1,48 Millionen US-Dollar, da der operative Cashflow weiterhin negativ war (-677 Tsd.). Die Gesamtvermögenswerte fielen nach der Übertragung von CEA-Immobilien und der Umklassifizierung von zum Verkauf gehaltenen Vermögenswerten auf 27,9 Millionen US-Dollar von 46,1 Millionen. Die Schulden reduzierten sich erheblich: Das Greenhouse-Darlehen in Höhe von 16,7 Millionen US-Dollar wurde eliminiert, sodass noch 20,9 Millionen US-Dollar Schulden (Festzinsdarlehen für Eisenbahn und Solar) verbleiben. Das Eigenkapital beträgt 5,95 Millionen US-Dollar.
- Es wurden keine Dividenden für Stamm- oder Vorzugsaktien ausgeschüttet; nicht deklarierte Dividenden der Serie A Vorzugsaktien belaufen sich nun auf 0,97 US-Dollar pro Aktie.
- Die Mieter-Konzentration bleibt hoch: 95 % der Einnahmen im ersten Halbjahr 2025 stammen von Norfolk Southern (51 %) und Regulus Solar (44 %).
- Die Einreichung bestätigt das Fortbestehensrisiko, aber das Management erwartet, dass Vermögensverkäufe, Vermietungsaktivitäten und mögliche Kapitalerhöhungen die Geschäftstätigkeit in den nächsten 12 Monaten finanzieren werden.
- $1.09 million gain from extinguishing the Greenhouse Loan, eliminating $16.7 million of debt and related default costs
- Q2-25 delivered $157.7k profit vs. a $19.3 million loss YoY as impairment charges subsided
- Total liabilities fell to $21.9 million from $39.3 million, improving leverage metrics
- Six-month period still shows a $1.4 million net loss and $677k negative operating cash flow
- Cash balance declined to $1.48 million, limiting liquidity
- No dividends declared; undeclared preferred dividends accrued to $0.97/share
- Revenue concentration: 95% from two tenants heightens counterparty risk
- Going-concern disclosure indicates reliance on asset sales and external financing
Insights
TL;DR: Debt extinguishment lifts Q2 profit, but liquidity and tenant concentration keep outlook cautious.
The one-time $1.09 million gain removed an over-levered, non-performing loan and sheds carrying costs on vacant greenhouses—clearly positive. However, recurring revenues remain below $1 million per half-year, cash outflow persists, and the Trust is not covering even preferred dividends. The balance sheet is smaller yet still levered at ~3.5× debt/annualised revenue. With 95% of rent tied to two tenants and no near-term growth drivers disclosed, the sustainability of quarterly profitability is uncertain. The filing’s going-concern language and ATM limitations highlight capital-market dependency. Overall impact: neutral—resolution of a major credit issue offsets ongoing structural weaknesses but does not yet reinvigorate the growth or income thesis.

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
During
the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Trust did not declare a quarterly dividend of approximately $
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 $
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 $
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 $
| 7 |
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
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 $
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:

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
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per Share:

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. |
| 9 |
| ● | 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
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.
| 10 |
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 $
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.

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

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 – 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.
| 14 |
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 $
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.

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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 31, 2025 (the “2024 10-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This discussion, particularly information with respect to our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties as described under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should review the disclosure under Part 1, Item 1A of the 2024 10-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Registrant” or the “Trust” refer to Power REIT and “we,” “us,” “our” and “Power REIT” refer to Power REIT, together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Overview
We are 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.
We are structured as a holding company and owns our 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, our assets consisted of approximately 112 miles of railroad infrastructure and related real estate which is owned by our subsidiary Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad (“P&WV”), approximately 447 acres of fee simple land leased to a number of utility scale solar power generating projects 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not declare a quarterly dividend of approximately $163,000 and $326,000, respectively, ($0.484375 per share per quarter) on Power REIT’s 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
Our primary objective is to maximize the long-term value for our shareholders. To that end, our business goals are to obtain the best possible rental income at our properties in order to maximize our cash flows, net operating income, funds from operations, funds available for distribution to shareholders and other operating measures and results, and ultimately to maximize the values of our properties.
| 22 |
To achieve this primary goal, we have developed a business strategy focused on increasing the values of our properties, and ultimately of the Trust, which includes:
● Raising capital by monetizing the embedded value in our portfolio to improve our liquidity position and, as appropriate reducing debt levels to strengthen our balance sheet;
● Selling off non-core properties and underperforming assets;
● Seeking to re-lease properties that are vacant or have non-performing tenants
● Raising the overall level of quality of our portfolio and of individual properties in our portfolio;
● Improving the operating results of our properties; and
●Taking steps to position ourselves for future growth opportunities.
Recent Events
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 the Greenhouse Loan and pay other accrued expenses related to the property. There was no gain/loss on sale recognized based on previous impairments.
On January 24, 2025 we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell our 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 we can sell pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In addition, our 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 we will be able to raise the funds needed, especially in light of the fact that our ability to sell securities registered on our registration statement on Form S-3 will be limited until such time as the market value of our voting securities held by non-affiliates is $75 million or more.
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 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 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. 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $554,000 and $624,000, respectively, of late charges, forbearance fees, legal fees, foreclosure fees and appraisal fees which is included in interest expense in Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $265,000 and $373,000, respectively of late charges, forbearance fees, legal fees, foreclosure fees and appraisal fees which is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of settling the Greenhouse Loan obligations through a deed-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 the 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.

Improving Our Balance Sheet by Reducing Debt and Leverage; Maintaining Liquidity
Leverage
We continue to seek ways to reduce our debt and debt leverage by improving our operating performance and through a variety of other means available to us. These means might include leasing vacant properties, selling properties, raising capital or through other actions.
Capital Recycling
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 purposes. Along these lines, in 2023 and 2024 we completed sales of assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $9.81 million which included approximately $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.”
Improving Our Portfolio
We are currently seeking to refine our property holdings by selling greenhouse properties and/or re-leasing them in an effort to improve the overall performance going forward. Effective April 11, 2025, we closed on a settlement agreement with the lender for the Greenhouse Loan. See “Settlement of Greenhouse Loan,” above, for more information.
The transaction related to the Greenhouse Loan closed on April 11, 2025 and 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. We will continue to seek to realize value from the retained assets and are exploring a shift in focus and are evaluating real estate distressed situations including properties, loans and companies.
Taking Steps to Position the Company for Future Growth Opportunities
We are taking steps designed to position ourselves to create shareholder value. In connection therewith, we have implemented processes designed to ensure strong internal discipline in the use, harvesting and recycling of our capital, and these processes will be applied in connection with seeking to reposition properties.
We may seek to acquire, in an opportunistic, selective and disciplined manner, properties that have operating metrics that are better than or equal to our existing portfolio averages, and that we believe have strong potential for increased cash flows and appreciation in value. Taking advantage of any acquisition opportunities would likely involve some use of debt or equity capital. We will pursue transactions that we expect can meet the financial and strategic criteria we apply, given economic, market and other circumstances. In addition, we are exploring the potential to use our existing corporate structure for strategic transactions including potentially merging assets or companies with us.

Critical 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. The critical accounting estimates that affect the consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described under Part II, Item 7 of the 2024 10-K.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $506,783 and $519,349, respectively. Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025, consisted of revenue from lease income from direct financing lease of $228,750, rental income of $236,139, and other income of $41,894. The decrease in total revenue was primarily related to a $18,926 decrease in interest income offset by an increase of rental income of $6,360 due to new cannabis tenants. Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 decreased by $18,410,419, primarily due to a substantial lower impairment expense in 2025 of $17,435,824, decreased property expenses of $269,665, and a decrease in depreciation expense of $163,127 as several properties are considered held for sale. The difference is also due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $18,101 offset by an increase of property tax expense of $48,733. Other income increased by $1,068,229 primarily due to the gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,092,670 offset by a loss on the sale of a property of $7,628. Net income attributable to common shares during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $157,706 compared to a net loss of $19,308,376 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $19,466,082.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $992,577 and $1,053,961, respectively. Revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025, consisted of revenue from lease income from direct financing lease of $457,500, rental income of $446,918, and other income of $88,159. The decrease in total revenue was primarily related to a $43,500 decrease in rental income from the cannabis tenants due to defaulted leases related to the challenges within the cannabis industry and decrease in other income of $17,884. Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 decreased by $19,546,587 primarily due to a substantial lower impairment expense in 2025 of $17,985,381, decreased property expenses of $235,145, and a decrease in depreciation expense of $648,622 as several properties are considered held for sale. The difference is also due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $144,826 and a decrease in interest expense of $588,689 offset by an increase of property tax expense of $56,076. Other income increased by $644,765 primarily due to the gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,092,670 offset by a loss of the sale of a property of $402,022 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $45,883. Net loss attributable to common shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 1,418,613 and $21,548,581, respectively, a decrease of $20,129,968.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our 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 and 2024, cash used in operating activities was $677,137 and $943,652, respectively. The decrease in cash used is primarily due to a smaller net loss in 2025, as well as favorable changes in working capital, including a decrease in prepaid expense and an increase in accrued expenses. This is partially offset by lower non-cash expenses, including depreciation, impairment expense and share-based compensation. Investing activities during for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $9,822 and $870,642, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to lower proceeds from property sales and a new investment in marketable securities in 2025. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $82,922, compared to $1,096,246 in the prior year. The difference is due to lower principal payments on long-term debt, partially offset by new debt proceeds in 2025.
Our current loan liabilities totaled approximately $738,000 as of June 30, 2025. We are not current on payment of property taxes for the Greenhouse Portfolio. These taxes are included on the Balance Sheet as accrued expenses and liabilities held for sale for approximately $1,119,000. If the property taxes remain delinquent, the Greenhouse Portfolio will be subject to tax foreclosure actions starting in the first quarter of 2026.
| 26 |
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. Following the resolution of the Greenhouse Loan, our management believes that the going concern doubt in our 2024 10-K and previous quarterly reports on Form 10-Q has been alleviated, and that our cash should provide greater than twelve months of liquidity for our capital needs.
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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated approximately $56,000 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 $1,632,198 as of June 30, 2025.
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 beyond the next twelve months.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS – NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) which our management believes to be a useful indicator of our operating performance. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. Core FFO should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position, as Core FFO is not defined by GAAP. The following is a definition of this measure, an explanation as to why we present it and, at the end of this section, a reconciliation of Core FFO to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Our management believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. Our management believes that alternative 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, such as one-time upfront acquisition expenses that are not capitalized under ASC-805 and certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation expense, amortization and certain up front financing costs. 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures (as defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) (to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. The design and operation of a control system must also reflect that there are resource constraints and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we analyzed accounting policies and procedures. In addition, management concluded that material weaknesses previously disclosed in the 2024 10-K regarding accounting for complex transactions still exist and that such controls are not effective. These material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan
To address the material weakness described above, we engaged an independent third party to enhance our analysis of accounting policies.
| 28 |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Trust have been detected. The design and operation of a control system must also reflect that there are resource constraints and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that the historical treatment of our Series A Preferred Stock and the requirement for the restatement thereof, represents a material weakness in our procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and that we had ineffective disclosure control and procedures related thereto. This material weakness relates to the accounting treatment of complex transactions. As part of our process related to the treatment of the Series A Preferred Stock, wet retained a third-party consultant that specializes in accounting treatment and SEC reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
Other than as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, the subject of claims and suits arising out of matters related to our business. In general, litigation claims can be expensive, and time consuming to bring or defend against and could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect financial results. It is not possible to predict the final resolution of the current litigation to which we are party to, and the impact of certain of these matters on our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has adversely impacted our business because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties as described in the 2024 10-K, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the 2024 10-K. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the 2024 10-K and the following risks, together with all the other information in this Report, including our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2024 10-K.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these material weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional weaknesses will not occur in the future.
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. We identified a material weakness in our controls relating to accounting for complex transactions which has not been remediated as of June 30, 2025. Specifically, our Series A Preferred Stock was historically classified as mezzanine equity instead of being classified as equity.
While we have hired outside consultants to aid in our accounting for complex transactions and plan to take 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. Although management believes that the material weakness in our internal controls will be remediated, 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.
| 29 |
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 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 shares.
The investment portfolio is, and in the future may continue to be, concentrated in its exposure to a relatively few numbers of investments, industries and lessees.
Historically, our revenue has been concentrated to a relatively limited number of investments, industries and lessees. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we collected approximately 95% of our consolidated revenue from two properties. The tenants were NSC and Regulus Solar, LLC which represent 51% and 44% of consolidated revenue respectively.
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 to concentrate our investment activities in the CEA and cannabis sectors, which subjects us to more risks than if we were diversified across many sectors. At times, the performance of the CEA and infrastructure sectors may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole.
If our acquisitions or our overall business performance fail to meet expectations, the amount of cash available to us to pay dividends may decrease and we could default on our loans, which are secured by collateral in our properties and assets.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to pay dividends at a specific level or to increase the amount of these dividends from time to time. Also, restrictions and provisions in any credit facilities we enter into or any debt securities we issue may limit our ability to pay dividends. We cannot assure you that you will receive dividends at a particular time, or at a particular level, or at all.
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. A portion of the properties included in the Greenhouse Portfolio secure the Greenhouse Loan which was non-recourse to us and the lender under the Greenhouse Loan has liens against such properties. 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. Power REIT will continue to seek to realize value from these retained assets by leasing and/or selling.
| 30 |
PW Regulus Solar, LLC (“PWRS”), one of our subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement (the “2015 PWRS Loan Agreement”) that is non-recourse to us and secured by all of PWRS’ interest in the land and intangibles. As of June 30, 2025, the balance under the 2015 PWRS Loan Agreement was approximately $6,304,000 (net of unamortized debt costs of approximately $202,000).
Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad (“PWV”), one of our subsidiaries, entered into a Loan Agreement in the amount of $15,500,000 that is non-recourse to Power REIT and secured by our equity interest in our subsidiary PWV which is pledged as collateral. The balance of the loan as of June 30, 2025 is $14,088,000 (net of approximately $262,000 of capitalized debt costs).
We have substantial debt and preferred shares outstanding with substantial liquidation preference, which could adversely affect our overall financial health and our operating flexibility.
We require cash flows to satisfy our debt service. These obligations may prevent us from using our cash flows for other purposes. 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.
In an effort to conserve liquidity and create financial flexibility, we have not declared dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock since the fourth quarter of 2022. As a result, unpaid dividends increase the liquidation preference for our Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2025, the amount of unpaid, undeclared dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is approximately $1,795,000.
Since a significant percentage of our assets are used to secure our debt, this reduces the amount of collateral available for future secured debt or credit support and reduces our flexibility in how we handle these secured assets. This level of debt and related security could also limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other purposes and could limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to service debt.
In addition to our current debt, we might incur additional debt in the future in order to finance improvement 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 issuance of securities with claims that are senior to those of our common shares, including our Series A Preferred Stock, may limit or prevent us from paying dividends on our common shares. There is no limitation on our ability to issue securities senior to our common shares or incur indebtedness.
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 June 30, 2025, we had outstanding debt in the principal amount of $20.9 million and $8.5 million (par value) of Series A Preferred Stock. This debt and these preferred securities rank senior to our common shares in our capital structure. We expect that in due course we may incur more debt, and issue additional preferred securities as we pursue our business strategy.
In the case of indebtedness, specified amounts of principal and interest are customarily payable on specified due dates. In the case of preferred securities, such as our Series A Preferred Stock, holders are provided with a senior claim to distributions, according to the specific terms of the securities. In contrast, however, in the case of common shares, dividends are payable only when, as and if declared by our board of trustees and depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, debt service requirements, obligations to pay distributions to holders of preferred securities, such as the Series A Preferred Stock, other cash needs and any other factors that the board of trustees may deem relevant or that they are required to consider as a matter of law. Incurring additional debt, or issuing of additional preferred securities, may limit or eliminate the amounts available to pay dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and common shares.
| 31 |
From time to time, our management team may own interests in our lessees or other counterparties, and may thereby have interests that conflict or appear to conflict with our interests.
On occasion, our management may have financial interests that conflict or appear to conflict with our interests. For example, four of our 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 three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 from the affiliated tenants in Colorado, Oklahoma, Michigan and Nebraska was $0. The above leases are currently in default and the tenants have vacated the properties and the leases have terminated.
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, our involvement in such transactions, in any such circumstance, there may be conflicts of interest between us on one hand, and subsidiaries of MILC, Mr. Lesser and his affiliates and interests on the other hand, and such conflicts may be unfavorable to us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
We did not sell any equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act other than as previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC.
(b) Use of Proceeds
Not applicable.
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Not applicable.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Trust did not declare a quarterly dividend of approximately $163,000 to holders of Power REIT’s Series A Preferred Stock in order to preserve liquidity. As of August 5, 2025, the amount of unpaid dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is approximately $1,795,000.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2025, no trustee or officer of the Trust
