Information as Lessor Under ASC Topic 842

 

To generate positive cash flow, as a lessor, the Trust leases its facilities to tenants in exchange for payments. The Trust’s leases for its railroad, solar farms and greenhouse cultivation facilities have lease terms ranging between 5 and 99 years. Payments from the Trust’s leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or on a cash basis for tenants with collectability issues. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Trust wrote off a net amount of $0 in straight-line rent receivable against rental income. Total revenue from its leases recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is approximately $489,000 and $923,000, respectively.

 

Due to significant price compression in the wholesale cannabis market, many of our cannabis related tenants are currently experiencing severe financial distress. Unfortunately, starting in 2022, collections from the CEA portfolio has diminished to a nominal amount. The Trust is exploring strategic alternatives with respect to the CEA portfolio and has listed some of the assets for sale and may list additional assets.

 

Historically, the Trust’s revenue has been concentrated to a relatively limited number of investments, industries and lessees.
