Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

As used herein, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and any of our subsidiaries, including IIP Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (our “Operating Partnership”).

We are an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated cannabis facilities. We have acquired and intend to continue to acquire our properties through sale-leaseback transactions and third-party purchases. We have leased and expect to continue to lease our properties on a triple-net lease basis, where the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term, including structural repairs, maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance.

We were incorporated in Maryland on June 15, 2016. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT structure, in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership, directly or through subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and own, directly or through subsidiaries, 100% of the limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities. From time to time, the Company may acquire properties utilizing a reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Reverse 1031 Exchange”) in order to defer taxable gains on the subsequent sale of real estate properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired four properties for a total purchase price of approximately $82.3 million, excluding transaction costs, as part of Reverse 1031 Exchanges. The acquired properties are in the possession of limited liability companies whose legal equity interests are owned by a qualified intermediary engaged to execute the Reverse 1031 Exchanges until the Reverse 1031 Exchanges are completed or terminated. The limited liability companies were deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary as the Company has the ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and the Company has all of the risks and rewards of ownership. As such, the VIEs, including the acquired properties, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a consolidated VIE until legal title is transferred to the Company upon the completion of the Reverse 1031 Exchanges. There were four consolidated VIEs on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022.

Federal Income Taxes. We believe that we have operated our business so as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable net income, we generally will not be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on such income. The income taxes recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of income represent amounts paid for city and state income and franchise taxes and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying the condensed consolidated statements of income.

7

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Reportable Segment. We are engaged in the business of providing real estate for the regulated cannabis industry. Our properties are similar in that they are leased to the state-licensed operators on a long-term triple-net basis, consist of improvements that are reusable and have similar economic characteristics. Our chief operating decision maker reviews financial information for our entire consolidated operations when making decisions related to assessing our operating performance. We have aggregated the properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities, including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies. The financial information disclosed herein represents all of the financial information related to our one reportable segment.

Acquisition of Real Estate Properties. Our investment in real estate is recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Upon acquisition of a property, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are initially measured based upon their relative fair values. We estimate the fair value of land by reviewing comparable sales within the same submarket and/or region. We estimate the fair value of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements as if the property was vacant, taking into consideration current replacement costs and other relevant market rate information and may engage third-party valuation specialists. Acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. All of our acquisitions to date were recorded as asset acquisitions.

The fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on our assessment of estimated lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amounts recorded for acquired in-place leases are reflected as in-place lease intangible assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a component of depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases.

The fair value of the above-market component of an acquired in-place operating lease is based upon the present value (calculated using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining non-cancellable lease term and (ii) our estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates and rent escalations at the date of acquisition measured over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. The amount recorded for one above-market operating lease is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental revenues over the remaining term of the applicable lease.

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation. We capitalize costs associated with development and redevelopment activities and tenant improvements when we are considered to be the accounting owner of the resulting assets. The development and redevelopment activities may be funded by us pursuant to the lease. We are generally considered the accounting owner for such improvements that are attached to or built into the premises, which are required under the lease to be surrendered to us upon the expiration or earlier termination of the lease. Typically, such improvements include, but are not limited to, ground up development, and enhanced HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other building systems.

Amounts capitalized are depreciated over estimated useful lives determined by management. We depreciate buildings and improvements and tenant improvements based on our evaluation of the estimated useful life of each specific asset, not to exceed 40 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized depreciation expense of approximately $15.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized depreciation expense of approximately $44.4 million and $29.6 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We depreciate office equipment and furniture and fixtures over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. We depreciate the leasehold improvements at our corporate office over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term.

Determining whether expenditures meet the criteria for capitalization and the assignment of depreciable lives requires management to exercise significant judgment. Project costs that are clearly associated with the acquisition and development or redevelopment of a real estate project, for which we are the accounting owner, are capitalized as a cost of that project. Expenditures that meet one or more of the following criteria generally qualify for capitalization:

● the expenditure provides benefit in future periods; and

● the expenditure extends the useful life of the asset beyond our original estimates.

8

We define redevelopment properties as existing properties for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs that are not reimbursements to tenants for improvements at the properties. When existing properties are determined to be redevelopment properties, the net carrying value of the buildings and improvements and tenant improvements are transferred to construction in progress while the redevelopment activities are in process. Costs capitalized to construction in progress related to redevelopment properties are transferred to buildings and improvements and tenant improvements at historical cost of the properties as the redevelopment project or phases of projects are placed in service. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reclassified the net carrying value of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements totaling approximately $59.0 million to construction in progress in connection with the default by Kings Garden Inc. (“Kings Garden”) and the related litigation (see Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation — Kings Garden Lawsuit”).

Provision for Impairment. On a quarterly basis, we review current activities and changes in the business conditions of all of our properties prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarter to determine the existence of any triggering events or impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis. If triggering events or impairment indicators are identified, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows for the properties, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.

Long-lived assets are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment indicators or triggering events for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by project and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market factors. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the property, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives. No impairment losses were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue Recognition. Our leases are triple-net leases, an arrangement under which the tenant maintains the property while paying us rent. We account for our current leases as operating leases and record revenue for each of our properties on a cash basis due to the uncertain regulatory environment in the United States pertaining to the regulated cannabis industry, the limited operating history of certain tenants and the resulting uncertainty of collectability of lease payments from each tenant over the duration of the lease term. Contractually obligated reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes, insurance and operating expenses are included in rental revenues in the period when such costs are reimbursed by the tenants. Contractually obligated real estate taxes that are paid directly by the tenant to the tax authorities are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Construction Loan. In June 2021, we executed a construction loan agreement with a developer, pursuant to which we agreed to lend up to $18.5 million for the development of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California. We have an option to purchase the property, and may execute a negotiated lease with an affiliate of the developer or with another third party, if we determine to exercise our purchase option. The developer is required to complete construction by December 1, 2022, subject to extension in certain circumstances. Interest on the construction loan is payable at maturity, which is December 25, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had funded approximately $17.7 million of the construction loan.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $66.5 million and $72.0 million, respectively, were invested in short-term money market funds, obligations of the U.S. government and certificates of deposit with an original maturity at the time of purchase of less than or equal to three months.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash relates to cash held in escrow accounts for future draws for improvements for tenants in accordance with certain lease agreements.

Investments. Investments consist of obligations of the U.S. government and certificates of deposit with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost.

Exchangeable Notes. The liability and equity components of exchangeable debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon exchange, including partial cash settlement, are required to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonexchangeable debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of our Exchangeable Senior Notes (as defined below) were

9

allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonexchangeable debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the Exchangeable Senior Notes as of the date of issuance. We measured the estimated fair value of the debt component of our Exchangeable Senior Notes as of the date of issuance based on our estimated nonexchangeable debt borrowing rate with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist as we do not have a history of borrowing arrangements and there is limited empirical data available related to the Company’s industry due to the regulatory uncertainty of the cannabis market in which the Company’s tenants operate. The equity component of our Exchangeable Senior Notes was reflected within additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the resulting debt discount was amortized over the period during which the Exchangeable Senior Notes are expected to be outstanding (through the maturity date) as additional non-cash interest expense.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models, and convertible debt proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity components. ASU 2020-06 also updates the earnings per share calculation and requires entities to assume share settlement when the convertible debt can be settled in cash or shares. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $728,000 to the opening balance of retained earnings and derecognized approximately $1.3 million of the remaining equity component relating to the outstanding principal balance of our Exchangeable Senior Notes at the date of adoption.

Deferred Financing Costs. The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation for equity awards is based on the grant date fair value of the equity awards and is recognized over the requisite service or performance period. If awards are forfeited prior to vesting, we reverse any previously recognized expense related to such awards in the period during which the forfeiture occurs and reclassify any non-forfeitable dividends and dividend equivalents previously paid on these awards from retained earnings to compensation expense. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Certain equity awards are subject to vesting based upon the satisfaction of various market conditions. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

Lease Accounting. We adopted Topic 842 effective as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and elected the package of practical expedients that allows an entity not to reassess upon adoption (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, (ii) whether a lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, and (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs, and as a lessor, the practical expedient not to separate certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from the lease component if  the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and associated lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. We also elected the lessor practical expedient, allowing us to continue to amortize previously capitalized initial direct leasing costs incurred prior to the adoption of Topic 842.

As lessee, we recognized a liability to account for our future obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset related to our corporate office lease. The lease liability was initially measured based on the present value of the future lease payments discounted using the estimated incremental borrowing rate of 7.25%, which was the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. In November 2021, we amended the lease to extend the term from April 2025 to January 2027 in connection with an expansion of the leased space which did not commence until February 2022. As a result of the lease amendment, we re-measured the lease liability relating to the existing leased space and measured the lease liability relating to the expansion space based on the present value of the respective future lease payments (excluding the extension option that we are not reasonably certain to exercise), discounted using the estimated incremental borrowing rate of 5.5%, which was the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. Subsequently, the lease liability is accreted by applying a discount rate established at the lease commencement date to the lease liability balance as of the beginning of the period and is reduced by the payments made during the period.

The right-of-use asset is measured based on the corresponding lease liability. We did not incur any initial direct leasing costs and any other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis during the lease term. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized

10

office lease expense of approximately $121,000 and $57,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized office lease expense of approximately $344,000 and $171,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, amounts paid and classified as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the office lease were approximately $282,000 and $176,000, respectively.

As lessor, for each of our real estate transactions involving the leaseback of the related property to the seller or affiliates of the seller, we determine whether these transactions qualify as sale and leaseback transactions under the accounting guidance. For these transactions, we consider various inputs and assumptions including, but not necessarily limited to, lease terms, renewal options, discount rates, and other rights and provisions in the purchase and sale agreement, lease and other documentation to determine whether control has been transferred to the Company or remains with the lessee. A transaction involving a sale leaseback will be treated as a purchase of a real estate property if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset from the lessee. A lease will be classified as direct-financing if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control and will be classified as a sales-type lease if control of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee. Otherwise, the lease is treated as an operating lease. These criteria also include estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of the leased facilities, minimum lease payments, the economic useful life of the facilities, the existence of a purchase option, and certain other terms in the lease agreements. The lease accounting guidance requires accounting for a transaction as a financing in a sale leaseback when the seller-lessee is provided an option to purchase the property from the landlord at the tenant’s option. Substantially all of our leases continued to be classified as operating leases and we continue to record revenue for each of our properties on a cash basis. Our tenant reimbursable revenue and property expenses continue to be presented on a gross basis as rental revenues and as property expenses, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of income. Property taxes paid directly by the lessee to a third party continue to be excluded from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Lease amendments are evaluated to determine if the modification grants the lessee an additional right-of-use not included in the original lease and if the lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price of the additional right-of-use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract. If both conditions are present, the lease amendment is accounted for as a new lease that is separate from the original lease.

Our leases generally contain options to extend the lease terms at the prevailing market rate or at the expiring rental rate at the time of expiration. Certain of our leases provide the lessee with a right of first refusal or right of first offer in the event we market the leased property for sale.

Concentration of Credit Risk. As of September 30, 2022, we owned 111 properties located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The ability of any of our tenants to honor the terms of their leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, competition, natural and social factors affecting the community in which that tenant operates.

We have recovered $10.0 million of funds paid to Kings Garden. See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation — Kings Garden Lawsuit” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

In each of the tables above, these leases include leases with affiliates of each entity, for which the entity has provided a corporate guaranty.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none of our properties individually represented more than 5% of our net real estate held for investment.

(1) Includes expected rentable square feet at completion of construction of certain properties.

(2) The acquisition of the property did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting and therefore, the transaction is recognized as a note receivable and is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(3) The tenant is expected to complete improvements at the property, for which we agreed to provide funding of up to $4.6 million.

(4) The purchase price includes $1.8 million holdback held in an escrow account, which is subject to distribution to the seller upon seller’s completion of certain improvements at the property. As of September 30, 2022, we have distributed approximately $1.4 million of the holdback. The remaining approximately $400,000 is included in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(5) The acquisitions of the MCP MD, Harvest AZ, TILT MA and Texas Original TX properties were made through consolidated VIEs utilizing Reverse 1031 Exchanges that were entered into at the time each of the properties was acquired. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Variable Interest Entities” for more information regarding the Company’s Reverse 1031 Exchanges and consolidation of VIEs.

(6) The tenant is expected to complete improvements at the property, for which we agreed to provide funding of up to approximately $10.0 million. The purchase price includes approximately $908,000 attributable to the property which did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting; therefore, this amount is recognized as a note receivable and is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(7) The purchase price includes approximately $1.0 million held in an escrow account, which is subject to distribution to the seller upon seller’s completion of certain improvements at the property and is included in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 generated approximately $6.6 million of rental revenues (including tenant reimbursements) and approximately $4.8 million of net operating income after deducting property and depreciation expenses. The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 generated approximately $11.9 million of rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) and approximately $10.0 million of net operating income after deducting property and depreciation expenses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the acquisition of the properties which did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting generated approximately $538,000 and $1.4 million of interest revenue, respectively, which is included in other revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

In addition, we acquired additional land adjacent to one of our existing properties in Pennsylvania on February 2, 2022. In connection with the acquisition, we amended the lease for the existing property to incorporate this land into the leased area and reduced the existing improvement allowance under the lease by an amount equal to the purchase price for the land, which was approximately $3.3 million.

7. Debt

Exchangeable Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2022, our Operating Partnership had outstanding approximately $6.4 million principal amount of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Exchangeable Senior Notes”). The Exchangeable Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of our Operating Partnership, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and our Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and are exchangeable for cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our Operating Partnership’s option, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date. The exchange rate for the Exchangeable Senior Notes at September 30, 2022 was 15.86813 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and the exchange price at September 30, 2022 was approximately $63.02 per share of our common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Exchangeable Senior Notes will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year at a rate of 3.75% per annum and will mature on February 21, 2024, unless earlier exchanged or repurchased in accordance with their terms. Our Operating Partnership will not have the right to redeem the Exchangeable Senior Notes prior to maturity, but may be required to repurchase the Exchangeable Senior Notes from holders under certain circumstances. At September 30, 2022, the if-exchanged value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes exceeded the principal amount by approximately $2.6 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 265 and 413,166 shares, respectively, of our common stock upon exchanges by holders of approximately $17,000 and $26.9 million, respectively, of outstanding principal amount of our Exchangeable Senior Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a loss on the exchange totaling approximately $125,000, resulting from the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the debt as of the date of the exchange. The issuance of the shares pursuant to the exchanges resulted in a non-cash increase to our additional paid-in capital account of approximately $17,000 and $26.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Notes due 2026

On May 25, 2021, our Operating Partnership issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes due 2026”). The Notes due 2026 are senior unsecured obligations of our Operating Partnership, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and our Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Exchangeable Senior Notes. However, the Notes due 2026 are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s, the Operating Partnership’s and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries’ future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Interest at a rate of 5.50% per year is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021, until the stated maturity date of May 25, 2026. The terms of the Notes due 2026 are governed by an indenture, dated May 25, 2021, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Company and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, TMI Trust Company, as trustee (as successor-in-interest to GLAS Trust Company LLC), and Securities Transfer Corporation, as registrar (as successor-in-interest to GLAS Trust Company LLC). The terms of the indenture provide that if the debt rating on the Notes due 2026 is downgraded or withdrawn entirely, interest on the Notes due 2026 will increase to a range of 6.0% to 6.5% based on such debt rating.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes due 2026, we recorded approximately $6.8 million of issuance costs, which are being amortized using the effective interest method and recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes due 2026.

The following table details our interest expense related to the Notes due 2026 (in thousands):

The Operating Partnership may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2026 at its option at any time at the applicable redemption price. If the Notes due 2026 are redeemed prior to February 25, 2026, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2026 being redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. If the Notes due 2026 are redeemed on or after February 25, 2026, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2026 being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2026 require compliance with various financial covenants, including minimum level of debt service coverage and limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by the Operating Partnership. Management believes that it was in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2022.

Accrued interest payable for the Notes due 2026 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $6.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

8. Net Income Per Share

Grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company in share-based payment transactions are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, are considered in computing basic earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for calculating earnings per share when a company’s capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Earnings per basic share under the two-class method is calculated based on dividends declared on common shares and other participating securities (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends accruing during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares and participating securities based on the relative percentage of each security to the total number of outstanding participating securities. Earnings per basic share represents the summation of the distributed and undistributed earnings per share class divided by the total number of shares.

Through September 30, 2022, all of the Company’s participating securities received dividends or dividend equivalents at an equal dividend rate per share or unit. As a result, distributions to participating securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been included in net income attributable to common stockholders to calculate net income per basic and diluted share.

The 100,799 and 235,753 shares necessary to settle the Exchangeable Senior Notes on the if-exchanged method basis were dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The 2,193,492 shares necessary to settle the Exchangeable Senior Notes on the if-exchanged method basis were dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the performance share units (“PSUs”) granted to certain employees were not included in dilutive securities as the performance thresholds for vesting of the PSUs were not met as measured as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 78,582 shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs granted to certain employees in January 2021 were included in dilutive securities, as the performance thresholds for the vesting of these PSUs were met as measured as of September 30, 2021 (see Note 10 for further discussion of PSUs).

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the carrying value and approximate fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	At September 30, 2022				At December 31, 2021
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Investments(1)	$	239,674	$	239,126	$	324,889	$	324,772
Exchangeable Senior Notes(2)	$	6,369	$	9,075	$	32,232	$	134,270
Notes due 2026(2)	$	294,794	$	267,267	$	293,860	$	318,486

(1) Short-term investments consisting of obligations of the U.S. government with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months are classified as held-to-maturity and valued using Level 1 inputs.

(2) The fair value is determined based upon Level 2 inputs as the Exchangeable Senior Notes and Notes due 2026 were trading in the private market.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash equivalent instruments consisted of $66.5 million and $72.0 million, respectively, in short-term money market funds that were measured using the net asset value per share that have not been classified using the fair value hierarchy. The fund invests primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury and government securities. Short-term investments consisting of certificate of deposits and obligations of the U.S. government are stated at amortized cost, which approximates their relative fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments.

19

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents invested in certificates of deposit, obligations of the U.S. government with an original maturity at the time of purchase of less than or equal to three months, construction loan receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments.

10. Common Stock Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) to enable us to motivate, attract and retain the services of directors, employees and consultants considered essential to our long-term success. The 2016 Plan offers our directors, employees and consultants an opportunity to own our stock or rights that will reflect our growth, development and financial success. Under the terms of the 2016 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other awards, will be no more than 1,000,000 shares. Any equity awards that lapse, expire, terminate, are canceled or are forfeited (including forfeitures in connection with satisfaction of tax withholdings obligations of the recipient) are re-credited to the 2016 Plan’s reserve for future issuance. The 2016 Plan automatically terminates on the date which is ten years following the effective date of the 2016 Plan.

A summary of the restricted stock activity under the 2016 Plan and related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is included in the table below:

		Weighted-
	Unvested	Average
	Restricted	Grant Date Fair
	Stock	Value

Balance at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022	34,890	$	181.72

(1) Shares that were forfeited to cover the employees’ tax withholding obligation upon vesting.

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $4.4 million for restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of approximately 2.0 years as of September 30, 2022. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $6.9 million.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. RSUs are issued as part of the Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which allows a select group of management and our non-employee directors to defer receiving certain of their cash and equity-based compensation. RSUs are subject to vesting conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan and have the same economic rights as shares of restricted stock under the 2016 Plan:

		Weighted-Average
	Restricted	Grant Date Fair
	Stock Units	Value
Balance at December 31, 2021	60,326	$	120.24
Granted	20,853	$	215.84
Balance at March 31, 2022	81,179	$	144.79
Granted	2,498	$	128.11
Balance at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022	83,677	$	144.30

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $5.5 million for RSU awards is expected to be recognized over an amortization period of approximately 1.8 years as of September 30, 2022.

In January 2021, we issued 70,795 “target” PSUs to a select group of officers, which vest and are settled in shares of common stock (“2021 PSU Award Shares”) based on the Company’s total stockholder return over a period commencing on January 11, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “2021 PSU Performance Period”) relative to two different comparator groups of companies. In January 2022, we issued 102,641 “target” PSUs to a select group of officers, which vest and are settled in shares of common stock

20

(referred to herein together with the 2021 PSU Award Shares as the “Award Shares”) based on the Company’s total stockholder return over a period commencing on January 11, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024 (referred to herein together with the 2021 PSU Performance Period as the “Performance Periods”) relative to two different comparator groups of companies.

At the end of the applicable Performance Periods, a recipient of PSUs may receive as few as zero Award Shares or as many as 150% of the number of target PSUs in Award Shares, plus deemed dividends. PSUs will also be reduced as necessary so the total value at the vesting date does not exceed 800% of the grant date PSU price, and if the Company’s absolute total stockholder return during the applicable Performance Periods is negative, the payout of Award Shares is capped at the target number of PSUs, notwithstanding the Company’s outperformance of comparator groups. No dividends are paid to the recipient during the applicable Performance Periods. At the end of the applicable Performance Periods, if the Company’s total stockholder return is such that the recipient earns Award Shares, the recipient will receive additional shares of common stock relating to dividends deemed to have been paid and reinvested on the Award Shares. The recipient of the Award Shares may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Award Shares for a one-year period following the vesting date of the Award Shares.

The grant date fair values of the PSUs granted in January 2021 and January 2022 were $12.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The fair values were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model based on the following assumptions:

		2021 PSU Award		2022 PSU Award
	Fair Value Assumptions		Fair Value Assumptions
Valuation date		January 6, 2021		January 7, 2022
Fair value per share on valuation date		$169.51		$194.86
Expected term		3 years		3 years
Expected price volatility		57.64%		55.99%
Risk-free interest rate		0.20%		1.17%
Discount for post vesting restriction		12.44%		12.22%

The expected share price volatility was based on the historical volatility of our shares of common stock over a period of approximately the applicable Performance Periods. The risk-free interest rate was based on the zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve on the applicable valuation date. The discount for the post vesting restriction was estimated using the Finnerty model.

Stock-based compensation for market-based PSU awards is based on the grant date fair value of the equity awards and is recognized over the applicable Performance Period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively, relating to PSU awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, relating to PSU awards. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $20.0 million relating to PSU awards is expected to be recognized over the remaining Performance Period of approximately 2.0 years.

As measured as of September 30, 2022, the performance thresholds for the vesting of the PSUs were not met for any of the applicable awards.

Office lease liability	$	1,967

Improvement Allowances. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $127.6 million of commitments related to improvement allowances, which generally may be requested by the tenants at any time up until a date that is near the expiration of the initial term of the applicable lease.

Construction Loan. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $802,000 of commitments related to our construction loan for the development of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California. The developer is required to complete construction by December 1, 2022, subject to extension in certain circumstances.

Environmental Matters. We follow the policy of monitoring our properties, both targeted acquisition and existing properties, for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liabilities that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, or that we believe would require disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Litigation.

Class Action Lawsuit

On April 25, 2022, a federal securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers. The case was named Michael V. Malozzi, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v. Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., Paul Smithers, Catherine Hastings and Andy Bui, Case No. 2-22-cv-02359, and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The lawsuit was purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our common stock and alleges that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements regarding our business in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), SEC Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. According to the filed complaint, the plaintiff is seeking an undetermined amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief on behalf of the putative classes of all persons who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between May 7, 2020 and April 13, 2022. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, at this time, we cannot predict the probable outcome of this action, and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On September 29, 2022, an Amended Class Action complaint was filed under the same Case Number, adding as defendants Alan D. Gold, Tracie J. Hager, and Benjamin C. Regin, and asserting causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. According to the Amended Class Action Complaint, the plaintiff is seeking an undetermined amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief on behalf of the putative classes of all persons who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between August 7, 2020 and August 4, 2022. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, at this time, we cannot predict the probable outcome of this action, and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

22

Derivative Action Lawsuit

On July 26, 2022, a derivative action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The case was named John Rice, derivatively on behalf of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. v. Paul Smithers, Catherine Hastings, Andy Bui, Alan Gold, Gary Kreitzer, Mary Curran, Scott Shoemaker, David Stecher, and Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., and was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. The lawsuit asserts putative derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets against the directors and certain officers of the Company.  The plaintiffs are seeking declaratory relief, direction to reform and improve corporate governance and internal procedures, and an undetermined amount of damages, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 6, 2022, the defendants in this action filed a Consent Motion to Stay the Proceedings, which was granted on October 11, 2022. On September 28, 2022, a second derivative action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The case was styled Karen Drover, derivatively on behalf of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. v. Paul Smithers, Catherine Hastings, Andy Bui, Alan Gold, Gary Kreitzer, Mary Curran, Scott Shoemaker, David Stecher, Defendants, and Innovative Industrial Properties Inc., Nominal Defendant, Case Number 24-C-22-004243, and filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. The lawsuit asserts putative derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks actions to reform and improve the Company, and an undetermined amount of damages, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 19, 2022, the parties to both cases filed a Joint Motion to Consolidate Related Shareholder Derivative Actions and to Appoint Lead and Liaison Counsel for plaintiffs. The Company intends to vigorously defend these consolidated lawsuits. However, at this time, the Company cannot predict the probable outcome of this action, and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Kings Garden Lawsuit

On July 13, 2022, one of our tenants, Kings Garden Inc., defaulted on its obligations to pay base rent and property management fees under each of its six leases with our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, IIP-CA 2 LP, and defaulted on its obligations to reimburse us for certain insurance premiums at the properties incurred by us that are payable by Kings Garden as operating expenses under such leases. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Kings Garden’s monetary default under its lease with us was approximately $5.2 million in the aggregate, consisting of approximately $4.8 million of contractual base rents and property management fees and approximately $369,000 of insurance premiums and property taxes, but excluding applicable late charges and default interest. We applied a portion of the security deposits under the leases, totaling approximately $2.6 million, as payments for these amounts.

On July 25, 2022, IIP-CA 2 LP filed a lawsuit against Kings Garden. The case was named IIP-CA 2 LP, a Delaware limited partnership v. Kings Garden Inc., a Nevada corporation, CK Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation, and JM Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation, and was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California. The lawsuit asserts claims for breach of contract, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief. On August 2, 2022, the case was amended to be named IIP-CA 2 LP, a Delaware limited partnership v. Kings Garden Inc., a Nevada corporation, CK Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation,  JM Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation, Michael King, an individual, Gary LaSalle, an individual, Charles Kieley, an individual, and Laurie Kibby, an individual, and to include claims relating to construction at the expansion project and the property that was under redevelopment as of June 30, 2022 for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conversion, theft by false pretenses, money had and received, and violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (18 U.S.C. Section 1962(c)). The amount related to these project costs reported in construction in progress as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $38.5 million. The amount related to these project costs reported in buildings and improvements and tenant improvements was approximately $11.5 million in the aggregate as of December 31, 2021.

On September 11, 2022, the parties to the lawsuit entered into a confidential, conditional settlement agreement pertaining to matters related to the lawsuit. Pursuant to the conditional settlement agreement, the Company received a $10.0 million partial settlement payment from Kings Garden, which was accounted for as a reduction to construction in progress on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Of the six properties previously leased to Kings Garden, four were operational, with an expansion project at one of those properties, and the other two properties were in development or redevelopment as of September 30, 2022. In connection with the conditional settlement agreement, the Company terminated leases and regained possession of the two properties that were in development or redevelopment as of September 30, 2022.

Out of the amounts included in construction in progress at September 30, 2022, we expect to recover an additional approximately $6.0 million from Kings Garden, and we are in the process of investigating additional costs paid of approximately $9.8 million to determine whether these are potential overpayments. Although there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred in connection with the default by Kings Garden and the related construction projects, as of September 30, 2022, we are unable to make such an estimate.

23

We may, from time to time, be a party to other legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of these proceedings, claims, inquiries, and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the final outcome of these matters is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Regardless of final outcomes, however, any such proceedings, claims, inquiries, and investigations may nonetheless impose a significant burden on management and employees and may come with significant defense costs or unfavorable preliminary and interim rulings.

12. Subsequent Events

On October 11, 2022, we amended our lease with Sozo at one of our Michigan properties, pursuant to which we agreed to apply a part of the security deposit we hold for rental amounts due for the period from October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, which, absent the satisfaction of certain conditions, is subject to full repayment to us on January 1, 2023.

On October 25, 2022, we amended our lease with Holistic at one of our Massachusetts properties, increasing the improvement allowance under the lease by $2.0 million, which also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the base rent for the lease at the property.

On October 27, 2022, we amended our lease with a subsidiary of 4Front Ventures Corp. (“4Front”) at one of our Illinois properties, providing 4Front an option, exercisable until November 11, 2022, to increase the improvement allowance under the lease by an amount between $15.0 million and up to $19.9 million. If 4Front exercises this option, the base rent under the lease will be adjusted accordingly and the term of the lease will be extended.

On November 1, 2022, we sold a Pennsylvania industrial property that was leased to a subsidiary of Maitri Holdings, LLC for $23.5 million (approximately $461 per square foot), excluding transaction costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this report that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market and regulatory conditions, our strategic direction, demographics, results of operations, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: rates of default on leases for our assets, concentration of our portfolio of assets and limited number of tenants; the estimated growth in and evolving market dynamics of the regulated cannabis market inflation dynamics; our ability to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including our inability to remediate the identified material weakness, and the costs and the time associated with such efforts; the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or future pandemics, on us, our business, our tenants, or the economy generally; war and other hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine; our business and investment strategy; our projected operating results; actions and initiatives of the U.S. or state governments and changes to government policies and the execution and impact of these actions, initiatives and policies, including the fact that cannabis remains illegal under federal law; availability of suitable investment opportunities in the regulated cannabis industry; our understanding of our competition and our potential tenants’ alternative financing sources; the demand for regulated cannabis facilities; the expected medical-use or adult-use cannabis legalization in certain states; shifts in public opinion regarding regulated cannabis; the potential impact on us from litigation matters, including rising liability and insurance costs; the additional risks that may be associated with certain of our tenants cultivating, processing and/or dispensing adult-use cannabis in our facilities; the state of the U.S. economy generally or in specific geographic areas; economic trends and economic recoveries; our ability to access equity or debt capital; financing rates for our target assets; our expected leverage; our level of indebtedness, which could reduce funds available for other business purposes and reduce our operational flexibility; covenants in our debt instruments, which may limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition; our ability to maintain our investment grade credit rating; changes in the values of our assets; our expected portfolio of assets; our expected investments; interest rate mismatches between our assets and our borrowings used to fund such investments; changes in interest rates and the market value of our assets; the degree to which any interest rate or other hedging strategies may or may not protect us from interest rate volatility; the impact of and changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates, accounting guidance and similar matters; our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT; our ability to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940; availability of qualified personnel; and market trends in our industry, interest rates, real estate values, the securities markets or the general economy.

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A below. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only of the date on which we make it. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Stockholders and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in the Company’s filings and reports.

The purpose of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is to provide an understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Overview

As used herein, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and any of our subsidiaries, including IIP Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).

We are an internally-managed REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated cannabis facilities. We have leased and expect to continue to lease our properties on a triple-net lease basis, where the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term, including structural repairs, maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance.

We were incorporated in Maryland on June 15, 2016. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT structure, in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership, directly or through subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and own, directly or through subsidiaries, 100% of the limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2022, we had 22 full-time employees.

As of September 30, 2022, we owned 111 properties comprising approximately 8.7 million square feet (including approximately 2.0 million rentable square feet under development/redevelopment) in 19 states. As of September 30, 2022, we had invested approximately $2.2 billion in the aggregate (consisting of purchase price and funding of draws for construction funding and improvements submitted by tenants, if any, but excluding transaction costs) and had committed an additional approximately $162.3 million to fund draws to certain tenants and sellers for construction and improvements at our properties. Of the approximately $162.3 million committed to fund draws to certain tenants and sellers for construction and improvements at our properties, approximately $34.7 million was incurred but not funded as of September 30, 2022. These statistics do not include an $18.5 million loan commitment from us to a developer for construction of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California, of which we have funded approximately $17.7 million as of September 30, 2022.

Of these properties, the 109 properties in our operating portfolio were 100% leased to state-licensed cannabis operators, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 15.5 years. Rent collection for our operating portfolio (calculated as base rent and property management fees collected as a percentage of contractually due base rent and property management fees, but excluding the security deposits applied as a result of the Kings Garden lease defaults commencing in July 2022) was approximately 97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

We do not include in our operating portfolio two of our properties, which were previously leased to Kings Garden, and an expansion project at a property where Kings Garden continues to occupy the property pursuant to a confidential, contingent settlement agreement, all of which were under development as of September 30, 2022, and together are expected to comprise approximately 395,000 rentable square feet upon completion of development.

Factors Impacting Our Operating Results

Our results of operations are affected by a number of factors and depend on the rental revenues we receive from the properties that we acquire, the timing of lease expirations, general market conditions, the regulatory environment in the regulated cannabis industry, and the competitive environment for real estate assets that support the regulated cannabis industry.

Rental Revenues

We receive income primarily from rental revenues generated by the properties that we acquire. The amount of rental revenues depends upon a number of factors, including:

● our ability to enter into leases with increasing or market value rents for the properties that we acquire; and

● rent collection, which primarily relates to each of our tenant’s financial condition and ability to make rent payments to us on time.

The properties that we acquire consist of real estate assets that support the regulated cannabis industry. Changes in federal law and current favorable state or local laws in the cannabis industry may impair our ability to renew or re-lease properties and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease obligations and could materially and adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates for our properties.

26

Conditions in Our Markets

Positive or negative changes in regulatory, economic or other conditions, drought, and natural disasters in the markets where we acquire properties may affect our overall financial performance. The success of our tenants in operating their businesses and their ability to pay rent continue to be significantly influenced by many challenges including the impact of inflation, labor shortages, supply chain constraints on their cost of doing business, and the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. Additionally, market dynamics and the regulatory regime in the states where they operate create challenges that may impact our tenants’ businesses and/or decrease future demand for regulated cannabis cultivation and production facilities. The potential impact of current economic challenges on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties.

Market Dynamics in Regulated Cannabis State Programs

States vary significantly in their market dynamics, driven by many factors, including, but not limited to, regulatory frameworks, enforcement policies with respect to illicit, unlicensed cannabis operations, taxation and licensing structures. For example, in California, according to Global Go Analytics, the illicit market for cannabis remains a much larger portion of overall sales in the state, and state and local authorities have assessed significant taxes on regulated cannabis products, both of which have had the impact of significantly limiting the growth and profitability for operators in the state’s regulated cannabis market.

Many states continue to experience significant declines in unit pricing for regulated cannabis products, with that decline more pronounced in certain states than in others, which compresses operating margins for operators.

Inflation and Supply Chain Constraints

The U.S. economy is experiencing a sustained increase in inflation rates, which we believe is negatively impacting our tenants. This inflation has impacted costs for labor and production inputs for regulated cannabis operators, in addition to increasing costs of construction for development and redevelopment projects. Ongoing labor shortages and global supply chain issues, driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical issues and the war in Ukraine, also continue to adversely impact costs and timing for completion of these development and redevelopment projects, which are resulting in cost overruns and delays in commencing operations on certain of our tenants’ projects.

Reduced Capital Availability for Tenants and the Company

Recently, financial markets have been volatile, reflecting heightened geopolitical risks and material tightening of financial conditions since the U.S. Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates in spring of 2022 and continued uncertainty regarding monetary policy.

Driven in part by overall macroeconomic conditions, capital availability has significantly declined for regulated cannabis operators and for the Company. According to Viridian Capital Advisors (“Viridian”), total equity and debt capital raising for public and private cannabis companies in North America decreased by approximately 64% year-to-date through September 30, 2022 versus the prior year’s period. Even more pronounced, total capital raised for the U.S. regulated cannabis cultivation and retail sector was down 67% year-to-date through September 30, 2022 versus the same period in the prior year, with equity capital raised in the sector down 96% year-to-date through September 30, 2022 and no equity deal in 2022 raising more than $25 million, according to Viridian.

Capital raising activities by U.S. REITs also experienced a steep decline in the three months ended September 30, 2022. According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), U.S. REITs raised $6.3 billion in debt and equity during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $29.4 billion raised during the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing the lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2009.

Significant Tenants and Concentrations of Risk

As of September 30, 2022, we owned 111 properties located in 19 states. Many of our tenants are tenants at multiple properties. We seek to manage our portfolio-level risk through geographic diversification and by minimizing dependence on any single property or tenant. At September 30, 2022, none of our properties accounted for 5% or more of our net real estate held for investment. See Note 2 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the tenants in our portfolio that represented the largest percentage of our total rental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation — Kings Garden Lawsuit” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information regarding Kings Garden leases.

27

Competitive Environment

We face competition from a diverse mix of market participants, including but not limited to, other companies with similar business models, independent investors, hedge funds, lenders and other real estate investors, as well as potential tenants (cannabis operators themselves), all of whom may compete with us in our efforts to acquire real estate zoned for regulated cannabis operations. Competition from others may diminish our opportunities to acquire a desired property on favorable terms or at all. In addition, this competition may put pressure on us to reduce the rental rates below those that we expect to charge for the properties that we acquire, which would adversely affect our financial results.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include general and administrative expenses, including personnel costs, stock-based compensation, and legal, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance, public reporting and compliance with the various provisions of U.S. securities laws. We generally structure our leases so that the tenant is responsible for taxes, maintenance, insurance and structural repairs with respect to the premises throughout the lease term. Increases or decreases in such operating expenses will impact our overall financial performance.

Our Qualification as a REIT

We have been organized and operate our business so as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are subject to restrictions on ownership and transfer that are intended, among other purposes, to assist us in qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT. In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, the relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to certain exceptions, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock or Series A Preferred Stock or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding common stock or any class or series of our outstanding preferred stock.

Revenues.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $16.4 million, or 31%, to approximately $70.3 million, compared to approximately $53.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Approximately $143,000 of the increase in rental revenues was generated by the property acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining approximately $16.3 million increase in rental revenues was generated by properties we acquired in prior periods, including contractual rent escalations and amendments to leases for additional improvement allowances and construction funding at existing properties that resulted in adjustments to rent. Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included approximately $2.6 million in security deposits drawn by us for defaults by Kings Garden in its obligations to pay rent commencing in July 2022. Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included approximately $2.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes.

Rental revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2022 were negatively impacted by non-collection of rent during the quarter totaling approximately $5.7 million (including approximately $5.3 million of contractual base rents and property management fees and approximately $369,000 for tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes) from two tenants, Kings Garden and affiliates of Medical Investor Holdings, LLC (“Vertical”).

Rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $58.9 million, or 40%, to approximately $204.5 million, compared to approximately $145.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Approximately $6.6 million of the increase in rental revenues was generated by the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining approximately $52.3 million increase in rental revenues was generated by properties we acquired in prior periods, including contractual rent escalations and amendments to leases for additional improvement allowances and construction funding at existing properties that resulted in adjustments to rent. Rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included approximately $7.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes.

29

Rental revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were negatively impacted by non-collection of rent during the period totaling approximately $6.5 million (including approximately $6.1 million of contractual base rents and property management fees and approximately $369,000 for tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes) from the two tenants, Kings Garden and Vertical.

Other Revenues. Other revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 consists of interest revenue related to leases for property acquisitions that did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting.

Expenses.

Property Expenses. Property expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $1.5 million and $4.6 million respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to new property acquisitions and additional investment in existing properties which resulted in higher property insurance premiums and property taxes that we paid for our properties. Property expenses are generally reimbursable to us by the tenants under the terms of the leases.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $5.5 million to approximately $10.8 million, compared to approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $11.8 million to approximately $28.3 million, compared to approximately $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to approximately $2.1 million in litigation-related expense incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 related to matters described in Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, higher compensation to employees, the hiring of additional employees and higher public company costs, travel and occupancy costs. Compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included approximately $4.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation. Compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 included approximately $2.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively of non-cash stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was related to depreciation on properties that we acquired and the placement into service of construction and improvements at certain of our properties.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $663,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $1.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in both periods was due to higher balances of interest-bearing investments resulting from proceeds from our common stock offerings and higher interest rates on our interest-bearing investments.

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists of interest on our Exchangeable Senior Notes issued in February 2019 and our Notes due 2026 issued in May 2021. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included approximately $328,000 and $836,000, respectively, of non-cash interest expense; and interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included approximately $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by approximately $1.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to exchanges of approximately $110.4 million outstanding principal amount of our Exchangeable Senior Notes in December 2021 and exchanges of approximately $26.9 million outstanding principal amount of our Exchangeable Senior Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $1.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to our Notes due 2026 issued in May 2021, partially offset by exchanges of our Exchangeable Senior Notes during the comparative periods.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands)

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	178,775	$	140,959	$	37,816
Net cash used in investing activities		(401,736)		(333,474)		(68,262)
Net cash provided by financing activities		215,065		193,807		21,258
Ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		78,523		127,298		(48,775)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $178.8 million and $141.0 million, respectively. Cash flows provided by operating activities were generally from contractual rent and security deposits from our properties, partially offset by our general and administrative expense.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $401.7 million, of which approximately $488.0 million related to investments in real estate and funding of draws for a portion of the improvement allowances, construction funding at our properties and other investments, partially offset by approximately $86.3 million related to net purchases and maturities of short-term investments. Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $333.5 million, of which approximately $398.6 million primarily related to the purchase of investment in real estate and funding of draws for a portion of the improvement allowances and construction funding at our properties, partially offset by approximately $65.1 million related to net purchases and maturities of short-term investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $215.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was the result of approximately $352.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, partially offset by dividend payments of approximately $134.5 million to common and preferred stockholders and approximately $2.4 million related to net share settlement of equity awards to pay the required withholding taxes upon vesting of restricted stock for certain employees.

Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $193.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was the result of approximately $293.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our Notes due 2026, partially offset by dividend payments of approximately $96.0 million to common and preferred stockholders and approximately $3.4 million related to net share settlement of equity awards to pay the required withholding taxes upon vesting of restricted stock for certain employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements. We expect to use significant cash to acquire additional properties, develop and redevelop existing properties, pay dividends to our stockholders, fund our operations, service our Exchangeable Senior Notes and Notes due 2026, and meet other general business needs.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the leasing of our properties and collecting rental income, which includes operating expense reimbursements, based on contractual arrangements with our tenants. This source of revenue represents our primary source of liquidity to fund our dividends, interest payments on Exchangeable Senior Notes and Notes due 2026, general and administrative expenses, property development and redevelopment activities, property operating expenses and other expenses incurred related to managing our existing portfolio and investing in additional properties. Because substantially all our leases are triple net, our tenants are generally responsible for the maintenance, insurance and property taxes associated with the properties they lease from us. If a tenant defaults on one of our leases or the lease term expires with no tenant renewal, we would incur the property costs not paid by the tenant during the time it takes to re-lease or sell the property.

As of September 30, 2022, we owned 111 properties. Of these properties, the 109 properties in our operating portfolio were 100% leased to state-licensed cannabis operators, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 15.5 years. Rent collection for our operating portfolio (calculated as base rent and property management fees collected as a percentage of contractually due base

31

rent and property management fees, but excluding the security deposits applied as a result of the Kings Garden lease defaults commencing in July 2022) was approximately 97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

On July 13, 2022, Kings Garden defaulted on its obligations to pay rent at all of the properties that Kings Garden leases from us (See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information). Two of our properties, which were previously leased to Kings Garden, and an expansion project at a property where Kings Garden continues to occupy the property pursuant to a confidential, contingent settlement agreement, were under development as of September 30, 2022, and together are expected to comprise approximately 395,000 rentable square feet upon completion of development.

We expect to incur some property-level operating costs from time to time in periods during which properties that become vacant are being remarketed. In addition, we may recognize an expense for certain property costs, such as insurance premiums and real estate taxes billed in arrears, if we believe the tenant is likely to vacate the property before making payment on those obligations or may be unable to pay such costs in a timely manner. Property costs are generally not significant to our operations, but the amount of property costs can vary quarter to quarter based on the number of property vacancies and whether we have any underperforming properties. We may advance certain property costs on behalf of our tenants but expect that the majority of these costs will be reimbursed by the tenant and do not anticipate that they will be significant to our operations.

To the extent additional resources are needed, we expect to fund our investment activity generally through equity or debt issuances either in the public or private markets. Where possible, we also may issue limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership to acquire properties from existing owners seeking a tax-deferred transaction.

In May 2021, we received an investment grade rating from a ratings agency. We sought to obtain an investment grade rating to facilitate access to the investment grade unsecured debt market as part of our overall strategy to maximize our financial flexibility and manage our overall cost of capital. On May 25, 2021, our Operating Partnership issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes due 2026. The Notes due 2026 are the Operating Partnership’s general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Exchangeable Senior Notes. The terms of the Notes due 2026 are governed by an indenture, which requires compliance with various financial covenants including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by the Operating Partnership and which require the Operating Partnership to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. Management believes that it was in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2022. Subject to the terms of the indenture, any new subsidiary of the Operating Partnership will also guarantee the Notes due 2026. In addition, the terms of the indenture provide that if the debt rating on the Notes due 2026 is downgraded or withdrawn entirely, interest on the Notes due 2026 will increase to a range of 6.0% to 6.5% based on such debt rating. 

In April 2022, we issued 1,815,790 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering, which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 236,842 shares, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $330.9 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 265 and 413,166 shares, respectively, of our common stock upon exchange by holders of approximately $17,000 and $26.9 million, respectively, of outstanding principal amount of our Exchangeable Senior Notes.

We are party to equity distribution agreements with six sales agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program, or ATM Program, up to $500.0 million in shares of our common stock. In March 2022, we sold 117,023 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of approximately $21.1 million under the ATM Program. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining amount available to be sold under the ATM Program was approximately $209.9 million.

We have filed an automatic shelf registration statement, which may permit us, from time to time, to offer and sell common stock, preferred stock, warrants and other securities to the extent necessary or advisable to meet our liquidity needs.

We expect to meet our liquidity needs through cash and short-term investments on hand, cash flows from operations and cash flow from sources discussed above. We believe that our liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to satisfy our cash requirements. We cannot, however, be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and upon terms acceptable to the Company in sufficient amounts to meet our liquidity needs. Our investment guidelines also provide that our aggregate borrowings (secured and unsecured) will not exceed 50% of the cost of our tangible assets at the time of any new borrowing, subject to our board of directors’ discretion.

In recent months, financial markets have been volatile in general, which has also significantly reduced our access to capital. If sustained, this would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to continue to make acquisitions of new properties and fund investments for improvements at existing properties.

Dividends

The Company is required to pay dividends to its stockholders at least equal to 90% of its taxable income in order to qualify and maintain its qualification as a REIT. As a result of this distribution requirement, our Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. Our ability to continue to pay dividends is dependent upon our ability to continue to generate cash flows, service any debt obligations we have, including our Exchangeable Senior Notes and Notes due 2026, and make accretive new investments.

The following table describes the dividends declared by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

		Amount
Declaration		Per			Dividend
Date	Security Class	Share		Period Covered	Paid Date	Dividend Amount
						(In thousands)
March 14, 2022	Common stock	$	1.75	January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022	April 14, 2022	$	45,830

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Payments Due			Exchangeable
by Year	Notes due 2026		Senior Notes		Interest		Office Rent		Total
2022 (three months ending December 31)	$	—	$	—	$	4,185	$	121	$	4,306
2023		—		—		16,742		496		17,238
2024		—		6,436		16,534		511		23,481
2025		—		—		16,500		526		17,026

Thereafter		—		—		—		45		45
Total	$	300,000	$	6,436	$	60,607	$	2,242	$	369,285

Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $127.6 million outstanding in commitments related to improvement allowances, which generally may be requested by the tenants at any time up until a date that is near the expiration of the initial term of the applicable lease. As of September 30, 2022, we also had approximately $802,000 outstanding in commitments to fund a construction loan, which the developer is required to complete by December 1, 2022, subject to extension in certain circumstances. The commitments discussed in this paragraph are excluded from the table of contractual obligations above, as improvement allowances generally may be requested by the tenants at any time up until a date that is near the expiration of the initial term of the applicable lease and construction loan funding generally may be requested by the borrower from time to time, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

In March 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and created Rule 13-01 to simplify disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities. The amendments became effective on January 4, 2021. Our Notes due 2026 and our Exchangeable Senior Notes are the unsecured senior obligations of our Operating Partnership and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by us and all of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. Only the Notes due 2026 and the related guarantees are registered securities under the Securities Act. See Note 7 “Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a description of certain terms of our Notes due 2026.

The offer and sale of the Exchangeable Senior Notes and the related guarantees were not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and instead were issued in reliance upon an exemption from such

33

registration. Unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act, the Exchangeable Senior Notes and the related guarantees may be offered and sold only in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

As a result of the amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is “full and unconditional” and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of our Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors have not been presented.

Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors because the combined assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the required GAAP presentations, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public and thus such reported measures could change.

Funds from Operations, Normalized Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

Funds from operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation, amortization and impairment related to real estate properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, management believes FFO and FFO per share to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. We believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. We report FFO and FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because FFO per share is consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share.

We compute normalized funds from operations (“Normalized FFO”) by adjusting FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that we believe are infrequent and unusual in nature and/or not related to our core real estate operations. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per share provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of our operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of other companies, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact our operating performance on an ongoing basis. Normalized FFO is used by management in evaluating the performance of our core business operations. Items included in calculating FFO that may be excluded in calculating Normalized FFO include certain transaction-related gains, losses, income or expense or other non-core amounts as they occur.

Management believes that adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and AFFO per share are also appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance. We calculate AFFO by adjusting Normalized FFO for certain non-cash items.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, FFO (diluted), Normalized FFO and AFFO, and FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO per diluted share include the dilutive impact of the assumed full exchange of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for shares of common stock. As a result, for purposes of calculating FFO (diluted), cash and non-cash interest expense of the

34

Exchangeable Senior Notes was added back to FFO, and the total diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding increased by 100,799 shares and 235,753 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which were the potentially issuable shares as if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were exchanged at the beginning of the period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, for purposes of calculating FFO (diluted), cash and non-cash interest expense of the Exchangeable Senior Notes was added back to FFO, and the total diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding increased by 2,193,492 shares for both periods, which were the potentially issuable shares as if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were exchanged at the beginning of the period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the performance share units (“PSUs”) granted to certain employees were not included in dilutive securities as the performance thresholds for vesting of the PSUs were not met as measured as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 78,582 shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs granted to certain employees in January 2021 were included in dilutive securities, as the performance thresholds for the vesting of these PSUs were met as measured as of September 30, 2021.

Our computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs. Further, FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management’s discretionary use. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of operations.

The table below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

35

the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

We continually evaluate the estimates and assumptions we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting estimates are defined as accounting estimates or assumptions made in accordance with GAAP, which involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty or subjectivity and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The following critical accounting estimates discussion reflects what we believe are the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. This discussion of our critical accounting estimates is intended to supplement the description of our accounting policies in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements and to provide additional insight into the information used by management when evaluating significant estimates and assumptions. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Acquisition of Rental Property, Depreciation and Impairment

All of our acquisitions of rental properties to date were accounted for as asset acquisitions and not business combinations because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings, and related intangible assets). The accounting model for asset acquisitions requires that the acquisition consideration (including acquisition costs) be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis.

We exercise judgement to determine key assumptions used in each valuation technique. For example, we are required to use judgment and make a number of assumptions, including those related to projected growth in rental rates and operating expenses, anticipated trends and market/economic conditions. The use of different assumptions can affect the amount of consideration allocated to the acquired depreciable/amortizable asset, which in turn can impact our net income due to the recognition of the related depreciation/amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

We depreciate buildings and improvements and tenant improvements where we are considered the owner for accounting purposes based on our evaluation of the estimated useful life of each specific asset, not to exceed 40 years. Determining whether expenditures meet the criteria for capitalization and the assignment of depreciable lives requires management to exercise significant judgment.

The determination of whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination, we consider numerous factors and perform a detailed evaluation of each individual lease. No one factor is determinative in reaching a conclusion. The factors we evaluate include but are not limited to the following:

● whether the lease agreement requires landlord approval of how the tenant improvement allowance is spent prior to installation of the tenant improvements;

● whether the lease agreement requires the tenant to provide evidence to the landlord supporting the cost and what the tenant improvement allowance was spent on prior to payment by the landlord for such tenant improvements;

● whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or reusable by other tenants;

● whether the tenant is permitted to alter or remove the tenant improvements without the consent of the landlord or without compensating the landlord for any lost utility or diminution in fair value; and

● whether the ownership of the tenant improvements remains with the landlord or remains with the tenant at the end of the lease term.

When we conclude that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes using the factors discussed above, we record the cost to construct the tenant improvements as our capital asset.

We evaluate our real estate assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a given asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Indicators we use to determine whether an impairment evaluation is necessary include:

● deterioration in rental rates for a specific property;

● deterioration of a given rental submarket;

● significant change in strategy or use of a specific property or any other event that could result in a decreased holding period, including classifying a property as held for sale, or significant development delay;

● evidence of material physical damage to the property; and

36

● default by a significant tenant when any of the other indicators above are present.

When we evaluate for potential impairment our real estate assets to be held and used, we first evaluate whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any impairment indicators are present for a specific real estate asset, we then perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis and compare the net carrying amount of the real estate asset to the real estate asset’s estimated undiscounted future cash flow over the anticipated holding period. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flow is less than the net carrying amount of the real estate asset, we perform an impairment loss calculation to determine if the fair value of the real estate asset is less than the net carrying value of the real estate asset. Our impairment loss calculation compares the net carrying amount of the real estate asset to the real estate asset’s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated discounted future cash flow calculations or third-party valuations or appraisals. We recognize an impairment loss if the amount of the asset’s net carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value. If we recognize an impairment loss, the estimated fair value of the asset becomes its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis would be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. If a real estate asset is designated as real estate held for sale, it is carried at the lower of the net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation ceases.

Our undiscounted cash flow and fair value calculations contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flow and property fair values, including determining our estimated holding period and selecting the discount or capitalization rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flow. Estimating projected cash flow is highly subjective as it requires assumptions related to future rental rates, tenant allowances, operating expenditures, property taxes, capital improvements, and occupancy levels. We are also required to make a number of assumptions relating to future economic and market events and prospective operating trends. Determining the appropriate capitalization rate also requires significant judgment and is typically based on many factors including the prevailing rate for the market or submarket, as well as the quality and location of the properties. Further, capitalization rates can fluctuate resulting from a variety of factors in the overall economy or within regional markets. If the actual net cash flow or actual market capitalization rates significantly differ from our estimates, the impairment evaluation for an individual asset could be materially affected.

For each property where such an indicator occurred, we completed an impairment evaluation. After completing this process, we determined that for each of the operating properties evaluated, undiscounted cash flows over the holding period were in excess of carrying value and, therefore, we did not record any impairment losses for these properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation cost for all share-based awards requires an estimate of fair value on the grant date and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period. The grant date fair value for compensation programs that contain market conditions, like modifiers based on total stockholder return (a “market condition”), are performed using complex pricing valuation models that require the input of assumptions, including judgments to estimate expected stock price volatility, expected life, and forfeiture rate. See Note 10 “Common Stock Incentive Plan” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further discussion the assumptions and estimates.

Impact of Real Estate and Credit Markets

In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, during certain periods, the U.S. credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, which may impact our access to and cost of capital. We continually monitor the commercial real estate and U.S. credit markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2022, we had $300.0 million principal amount of Notes due 2026 and approximately $6.4 million principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes outstanding at fixed interest rates, and therefore, if interest rates decline, our required payments may exceed those based on current market rates. It is possible that a property we acquire in the future would be subject to a mortgage, which we may assume.

Impact of Inflation

The U.S. economy is experiencing a sustained increase in inflation rates. We enter into leases that generally provide for fixed increases in rent. During times when inflation is greater than the fixed increases in rent, as provided for in the leases, rent increases may not keep up with the rate of inflation.

37

Seasonality

Our business has not been, and we do not expect our business in the future to be, subject to material seasonal fluctuations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our Exchangeable Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% per annum until maturity and our Notes due 2026 bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per annum until maturity, and collectively are the only debt we have outstanding.

Our investments in short-term money market funds, certificates of deposit and short-term investments in obligations of the U.S. government with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months are less sensitive to market fluctuations than a portfolio of long-term securities. Accordingly, we believe that a significant change in interest rates would not have a material effect on condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under supervision of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022 because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Notwithstanding this material weakness, the Company has concluded that no material misstatements exist in the consolidated financial statements as previously filed and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine-month periods then ended, in conformity with GAAP.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have determined that we did not design and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting related to management’s review and approval of requests for funding disbursements for tenant improvements at the Company’s properties. Specifically, management’s controls are not designed at an appropriate level of precision to prevent or detect a material misstatement in a timely manner.

This control deficiency did not result in a misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, this control deficiency could result in misstatements of interim or annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement that would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Therefore, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Remediation of Material Weakness

We have commenced measures to remediate the identified material weakness. We have provided additional training to personnel regarding policies and procedures around construction projects and the necessary approvals of requests for funding disbursements in connection with qualifying property improvements at our properties. Our remediation efforts also include (1) enhancing the design of existing procedures and controls over the review and approval of funding requests for tenant improvements; (2) providing additional training and developing tools to implement and monitor our policies and procedures; and (3) supplementing existing resources with the engagement of third-party construction consultants. Management is also evaluating the need for additional resources.

While we believe that the efforts taken to date and those planned for remediation will improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, these remediation efforts are ongoing and will require a sufficient period of time to operate for management to be able to conclude that the design is effective to address the risks of material misstatement and that such controls are operating effectively through testing and monitoring of such controls. We may conclude that additional measures are necessary to

38

remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional evaluation and implementation time.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness discussed above, there have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

39

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Except to the extent updated below or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the “Risk Factors” sections in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. The risks as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

We have identified a material weakness in our system of internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If not remediated, this material weakness could result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. We may be unable to develop, implement and maintain appropriate controls in future periods.

Our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Management has concluded that, because of this material weakness, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2022. These operational deficiencies related to the Company’s reviews and approvals of requests for funding disbursements by the Company for tenant improvements at the Company’s properties previously leased to Kings Garden. As a result of the material weakness, the Company’s management, under the supervision of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2022.

Although we are working to remedy the ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and implemented. Until our remediation plan is fully implemented, our management will continue to devote significant time, attention and financial resources to these efforts. If we do not complete our remediation in a timely fashion, or at all, or if our remediation plan is inadequate, there will continue to be an increased risk that our future consolidated financial statements could contain errors that will be undetected. Further and continued determinations that there are one or more material weaknesses in the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting could also reduce our ability to obtain financing or could increase the cost of any financing we obtain and require additional expenditures of both money and our management’s time to comply with applicable requirements. For more information relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the material weakness that existed as of September 30, 2022 and the remediation activities undertaken by us, see Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We have leased and expect to continue to lease our properties on a triple-net lease basis, where the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term, including structural repairs, maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance.

We were incorporated in Maryland on June 15, 2016. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT structure, in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership, directly or through subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and own, directly or through subsidiaries, 100% of the limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities. From time to time, the Company may acquire properties utilizing a reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Reverse 1031 Exchange”) in order to defer taxable gains on the subsequent sale of real estate properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired four properties for a total purchase price of approximately $82.3 million, excluding transaction costs, as part of Reverse 1031 Exchanges. The acquired properties are in the possession of limited liability companies whose legal equity interests are owned by a qualified intermediary engaged to execute the Reverse 1031 Exchanges until the Reverse 1031 Exchanges are completed or terminated. The limited liability companies were deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary as the Company has the ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and the Company has all of the risks and rewards of ownership. As such, the VIEs, including the acquired properties, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a consolidated VIE until legal title is transferred to the Company upon the completion of the Reverse 1031 Exchanges. There were four consolidated VIEs on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022.

Federal Income Taxes. We believe that we have operated our business so as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable net income, we generally will not be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on such income. The income taxes recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of income represent amounts paid for city and state income and franchise taxes and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Reportable Segment. We are engaged in the business of providing real estate for the regulated cannabis industry. Our properties are similar in that they are leased to the state-licensed operators on a long-term triple-net basis, consist of improvements that are reusable and have similar economic characteristics. Our chief operating decision maker reviews financial information for our entire consolidated operations when making decisions related to assessing our operating performance. We have aggregated the properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities, including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies. The financial information disclosed herein represents all of the financial information related to our one reportable segment.

Acquisition of Real Estate Properties. Our investment in real estate is recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Upon acquisition of a property, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are initially measured based upon their relative fair values. We estimate the fair value of land by reviewing comparable sales within the same submarket and/or region. We estimate the fair value of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements as if the property was vacant, taking into consideration current replacement costs and other relevant market rate information and may engage third-party valuation specialists. Acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. All of our acquisitions to date were recorded as asset acquisitions.

The fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on our assessment of estimated lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amounts recorded for acquired in-place leases are reflected as in-place lease intangible assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a component of depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases.

The fair value of the above-market component of an acquired in-place operating lease is based upon the present value (calculated using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining non-cancellable lease term and (ii) our estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates and rent escalations at the date of acquisition measured over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. The amount recorded for one above-market operating lease is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental revenues over the remaining term of the applicable lease.

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation. We capitalize costs associated with development and redevelopment activities and tenant improvements when we are considered to be the accounting owner of the resulting assets. The development and redevelopment activities may be funded by us pursuant to the lease. We are generally considered the accounting owner for such improvements that are attached to or built into the premises, which are required under the lease to be surrendered to us upon the expiration or earlier termination of the lease. Typically, such improvements include, but are not limited to, ground up development, and enhanced HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other building systems.

Amounts capitalized are depreciated over estimated useful lives determined by management. We depreciate buildings and improvements and tenant improvements based on our evaluation of the estimated useful life of each specific asset, not to exceed 40 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized depreciation expense of approximately $15.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized depreciation expense of approximately $44.4 million and $29.6 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We depreciate office equipment and furniture and fixtures over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. We depreciate the leasehold improvements at our corporate office over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term.

Determining whether expenditures meet the criteria for capitalization and the assignment of depreciable lives requires management to exercise significant judgment. Project costs that are clearly associated with the acquisition and development or redevelopment of a real estate project, for which we are the accounting owner, are capitalized as a cost of that project. Expenditures that meet one or more of the following criteria generally qualify for capitalization:

● the expenditure provides benefit in future periods; and

● the expenditure extends the useful life of the asset beyond our original estimates.

We define redevelopment properties as existing properties for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs that are not reimbursements to tenants for improvements at the properties. When existing properties are determined to be redevelopment properties, the net carrying value of the buildings and improvements and tenant improvements are transferred to construction in progress while the redevelopment activities are in process. Costs capitalized to construction in progress related to redevelopment properties are transferred to buildings and improvements and tenant improvements at historical cost of the properties as the redevelopment project or phases of projects are placed in service. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reclassified the net carrying value of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements totaling approximately $59.0 million to construction in progress in connection with the default by Kings Garden Inc. (“Kings Garden”) and the related litigation (see Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation — Kings Garden Lawsuit”).

Provision for Impairment. On a quarterly basis, we review current activities and changes in the business conditions of all of our properties prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarter to determine the existence of any triggering events or impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis. If triggering events or impairment indicators are identified, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows for the properties, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.

Long-lived assets are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment indicators or triggering events for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by project and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market factors. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the property, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives. No impairment losses were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue Recognition. Our leases are triple-net leases, an arrangement under which the tenant maintains the property while paying us rent. We account for our current leases as operating leases and record revenue for each of our properties on a cash basis due to the uncertain regulatory environment in the United States pertaining to the regulated cannabis industry, the limited operating history of certain tenants and the resulting uncertainty of collectability of lease payments from each tenant over the duration of the lease term. Contractually obligated reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes, insurance and operating expenses are included in rental revenues in the period when such costs are reimbursed by the tenants. Contractually obligated real estate taxes that are paid directly by the tenant to the tax authorities are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Construction Loan. In June 2021, we executed a construction loan agreement with a developer, pursuant to which we agreed to lend up to $18.5 million for the development of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California. We have an option to purchase the property, and may execute a negotiated lease with an affiliate of the developer or with another third party, if we determine to exercise our purchase option. The developer is required to complete construction by December 1, 2022, subject to extension in certain circumstances. Interest on the construction loan is payable at maturity, which is December 25, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had funded approximately $17.7 million of the construction loan.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $66.5 million and $72.0 million, respectively, were invested in short-term money market funds, obligations of the U.S. government and certificates of deposit with an original maturity at the time of purchase of less than or equal to three months.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash relates to cash held in escrow accounts for future draws for improvements for tenants in accordance with certain lease agreements.

Investments. Investments consist of obligations of the U.S. government and certificates of deposit with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost.

Exchangeable Notes. The liability and equity components of exchangeable debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon exchange, including partial cash settlement, are required to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonexchangeable debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of our Exchangeable Senior Notes (as defined below) were

allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonexchangeable debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the Exchangeable Senior Notes as of the date of issuance. We measured the estimated fair value of the debt component of our Exchangeable Senior Notes as of the date of issuance based on our estimated nonexchangeable debt borrowing rate with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist as we do not have a history of borrowing arrangements and there is limited empirical data available related to the Company’s industry due to the regulatory uncertainty of the cannabis market in which the Company’s tenants operate. The equity component of our Exchangeable Senior Notes was reflected within additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the resulting debt discount was amortized over the period during which the Exchangeable Senior Notes are expected to be outstanding (through the maturity date) as additional non-cash interest expense.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models, and convertible debt proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity components. ASU 2020-06 also updates the earnings per share calculation and requires entities to assume share settlement when the convertible debt can be settled in cash or shares. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $728,000 to the opening balance of retained earnings and derecognized approximately $1.3 million of the remaining equity component relating to the outstanding principal balance of our Exchangeable Senior Notes at the date of adoption.

Deferred Financing Costs. The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation for equity awards is based on the grant date fair value of the equity awards and is recognized over the requisite service or performance period. If awards are forfeited prior to vesting, we reverse any previously recognized expense related to such awards in the period during which the forfeiture occurs and reclassify any non-forfeitable dividends and dividend equivalents previously paid on these awards from retained earnings to compensation expense. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Certain equity awards are subject to vesting based upon the satisfaction of various market conditions. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

Lease Accounting. We adopted Topic 842 effective as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and elected the package of practical expedients that allows an entity not to reassess upon adoption (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, (ii) whether a lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, and (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs, and as a lessor, the practical expedient not to separate certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from the lease component if  the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and associated lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. We also elected the lessor practical expedient, allowing us to continue to amortize previously capitalized initial direct leasing costs incurred prior to the adoption of Topic 842.

As lessee, we recognized a liability to account for our future obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset related to our corporate office lease. The lease liability was initially measured based on the present value of the future lease payments discounted using the estimated incremental borrowing rate of 7.25%, which was the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. In November 2021, we amended the lease to extend the term from April 2025 to January 2027 in connection with an expansion of the leased space which did not commence until February 2022. As a result of the lease amendment, we re-measured the lease liability relating to the existing leased space and measured the lease liability relating to the expansion space based on the present value of the respective future lease payments (excluding the extension option that we are not reasonably certain to exercise), discounted using the estimated incremental borrowing rate of 5.5%, which was the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. Subsequently, the lease liability is accreted by applying a discount rate established at the lease commencement date to the lease liability balance as of the beginning of the period and is reduced by the payments made during the period.

The right-of-use asset is measured based on the corresponding lease liability. We did not incur any initial direct leasing costs and any other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis during the lease term. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized

office lease expense of approximately $121,000 and $57,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized office lease expense of approximately $344,000 and $171,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, amounts paid and classified as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the office lease were approximately $282,000 and $176,000, respectively.

As lessor, for each of our real estate transactions involving the leaseback of the related property to the seller or affiliates of the seller, we determine whether these transactions qualify as sale and leaseback transactions under the accounting guidance. For these transactions, we consider various inputs and assumptions including, but not necessarily limited to, lease terms, renewal options, discount rates, and other rights and provisions in the purchase and sale agreement, lease and other documentation to determine whether control has been transferred to the Company or remains with the lessee. A transaction involving a sale leaseback will be treated as a purchase of a real estate property if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset from the lessee. A lease will be classified as direct-financing if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control and will be classified as a sales-type lease if control of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee. Otherwise, the lease is treated as an operating lease. These criteria also include estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of the leased facilities, minimum lease payments, the economic useful life of the facilities, the existence of a purchase option, and certain other terms in the lease agreements. The lease accounting guidance requires accounting for a transaction as a financing in a sale leaseback when the seller-lessee is provided an option to purchase the property from the landlord at the tenant’s option. Substantially all of our leases continued to be classified as operating leases and we continue to record revenue for each of our properties on a cash basis. Our tenant reimbursable revenue and property expenses continue to be presented on a gross basis as rental revenues and as property expenses, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of income. Property taxes paid directly by the lessee to a third party continue to be excluded from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Lease amendments are evaluated to determine if the modification grants the lessee an additional right-of-use not included in the original lease and if the lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price of the additional right-of-use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract. If both conditions are present, the lease amendment is accounted for as a new lease that is separate from the original lease.

Our leases generally contain options to extend the lease terms at the prevailing market rate or at the expiring rental rate at the time of expiration. Certain of our leases provide the lessee with a right of first refusal or right of first offer in the event we market the leased property for sale.

Concentration of Credit Risk. As of September 30, 2022, we owned 111 properties located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The ability of any of our tenants to honor the terms of their leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, competition, natural and social factors affecting the community in which that tenant operates.

The following table sets forth the five tenants in our portfolio that represented the largest percentage of our total rental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, including tenant reimbursements:

(1)On July 13, 2022, Kings Garden defaulted on its obligations to pay rent at all of the properties it leases with us, and pursuant to a confidential, conditional settlement agreement executed on September 11, 2022 between us and Kings Garden, we terminated the leases for two properties that were in development or redevelopment as of September 30, 2022 and regained possession of those properties. We have recovered $10.0 million of funds paid to Kings Garden. See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation — Kings Garden Lawsuit” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

In each of the tables above, these leases include leases with affiliates of each entity, for which the entity has provided a corporate guaranty.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none of our properties individually represented more than 5% of our net real estate held for investment.

We have deposited cash with a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

(1) Includes expected rentable square feet at completion of construction of certain properties.

(2) The acquisition of the property did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting and therefore, the transaction is recognized as a note receivable and is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(3) The tenant is expected to complete improvements at the property, for which we agreed to provide funding of up to $4.6 million.

(4) The purchase price includes $1.8 million holdback held in an escrow account, which is subject to distribution to the seller upon seller’s completion of certain improvements at the property. As of September 30, 2022, we have distributed approximately $1.4 million of the holdback. The remaining approximately $400,000 is included in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(5) The acquisitions of the MCP MD, Harvest AZ, TILT MA and Texas Original TX properties were made through consolidated VIEs utilizing Reverse 1031 Exchanges that were entered into at the time each of the properties was acquired. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Variable Interest Entities” for more information regarding the Company’s Reverse 1031 Exchanges and consolidation of VIEs.

(6) The tenant is expected to complete improvements at the property, for which we agreed to provide funding of up to approximately $10.0 million. The purchase price includes approximately $908,000 attributable to the property which did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting; therefore, this amount is recognized as a note receivable and is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(7) The purchase price includes approximately $1.0 million held in an escrow account, which is subject to distribution to the seller upon seller’s completion of certain improvements at the property and is included in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(8) Approximately $16.9 million was included in other assets; $2.8 million was included in restricted cash; approximately $14.5 million was allocated to land; approximately $131.5 million was allocated to building and improvements; and approximately $798,000 was allocated to in-place leases.

The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 generated approximately $6.6 million of rental revenues (including tenant reimbursements) and approximately $4.8 million of net operating income after deducting property and depreciation expenses. The properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 generated approximately $11.9 million of rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) and approximately $10.0 million of net operating income after deducting property and depreciation expenses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the acquisition of the properties which did not satisfy the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting generated approximately $538,000 and $1.4 million of interest revenue, respectively, which is included in other revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of income.

In addition, we acquired additional land adjacent to one of our existing properties in Pennsylvania on February 2, 2022. In connection with the acquisition, we amended the lease for the existing property to incorporate this land into the leased area and reduced the existing improvement allowance under the lease by an amount equal to the purchase price for the land, which was approximately $3.3 million.

Exchangeable Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2022, our Operating Partnership had outstanding approximately $6.4 million principal amount of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Exchangeable Senior Notes”). The Exchangeable Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of our Operating Partnership, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and our Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and are exchangeable for cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our Operating Partnership’s option, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date. The exchange rate for the Exchangeable Senior Notes at September 30, 2022 was 15.86813 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and the exchange price at September 30, 2022 was approximately $63.02 per share of our common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Exchangeable Senior Notes will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year at a rate of 3.75% per annum and will mature on February 21, 2024, unless earlier exchanged or repurchased in accordance with their terms. Our Operating Partnership will not have the right to redeem the Exchangeable Senior Notes prior to maturity, but may be required to repurchase the Exchangeable Senior Notes from holders under certain circumstances. At September 30, 2022, the if-exchanged value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes exceeded the principal amount by approximately $2.6 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 265 and 413,166 shares, respectively, of our common stock upon exchanges by holders of approximately $17,000 and $26.9 million, respectively, of outstanding principal amount of our Exchangeable Senior Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a loss on the exchange totaling approximately $125,000, resulting from the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the debt as of the date of the exchange. The issuance of the shares pursuant to the exchanges resulted in a non-cash increase to our additional paid-in capital account of approximately $17,000 and $26.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Notes due 2026

On May 25, 2021, our Operating Partnership issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes due 2026”). The Notes due 2026 are senior unsecured obligations of our Operating Partnership, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and our Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Exchangeable Senior Notes. However, the Notes due 2026 are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s, the Operating Partnership’s and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries’ future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Interest at a rate of 5.50% per year is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021, until the stated maturity date of May 25, 2026. The terms of the Notes due 2026 are governed by an indenture, dated May 25, 2021, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Company and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, TMI Trust Company, as trustee (as successor-in-interest to GLAS Trust Company LLC), and Securities Transfer Corporation, as registrar (as successor-in-interest to GLAS Trust Company LLC). The terms of the indenture provide that if the debt rating on the Notes due 2026 is downgraded or withdrawn entirely, interest on the Notes due 2026 will increase to a range of 6.0% to 6.5% based on such debt rating.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes due 2026, we recorded approximately $6.8 million of issuance costs, which are being amortized using the effective interest method and recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes due 2026.

The following table details our interest expense related to the Notes due 2026 (in thousands):

The Operating Partnership may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2026 at its option at any time at the applicable redemption price. If the Notes due 2026 are redeemed prior to February 25, 2026, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2026 being redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. If the Notes due 2026 are redeemed on or after February 25, 2026, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2026 being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2026 require compliance with various financial covenants, including minimum level of debt service coverage and limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by the Operating Partnership. Management believes that it was in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2022.

Accrued interest payable for the Notes due 2026 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $6.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share

8. Net Income Per Share

Grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company in share-based payment transactions are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, are considered in computing basic earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for calculating earnings per share when a company’s capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Earnings per basic share under the two-class method is calculated based on dividends declared on common shares and other participating securities (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends accruing during the period. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares and participating securities based on the relative percentage of each security to the total number of outstanding participating securities. Earnings per basic share represents the summation of the distributed and undistributed earnings per share class divided by the total number of shares.

Through September 30, 2022, all of the Company’s participating securities received dividends or dividend equivalents at an equal dividend rate per share or unit. As a result, distributions to participating securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been included in net income attributable to common stockholders to calculate net income per basic and diluted share.

The 100,799 and 235,753 shares necessary to settle the Exchangeable Senior Notes on the if-exchanged method basis were dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The 2,193,492 shares necessary to settle the Exchangeable Senior Notes on the if-exchanged method basis were dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the performance share units (“PSUs”) granted to certain employees were not included in dilutive securities as the performance thresholds for vesting of the PSUs were not met as measured as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 78,582 shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs granted to certain employees in January 2021 were included in dilutive securities, as the performance thresholds for the vesting of these PSUs were met as measured as of September 30, 2021 (see Note 10 for further discussion of PSUs).

Computations of net income per basic and diluted share (in thousands, except share and per share data) were as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the carrying value and approximate fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	At September 30, 2022				At December 31, 2021
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Investments(1)	$	239,674	$	239,126	$	324,889	$	324,772

Notes due 2026(2)	$	294,794	$	267,267	$	293,860	$	318,486

(1) Short-term investments consisting of obligations of the U.S. government with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months are classified as held-to-maturity and valued using Level 1 inputs.

(2) The fair value is determined based upon Level 2 inputs as the Exchangeable Senior Notes and Notes due 2026 were trading in the private market.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash equivalent instruments consisted of $66.5 million and $72.0 million, respectively, in short-term money market funds that were measured using the net asset value per share that have not been classified using the fair value hierarchy. The fund invests primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury and government securities. Short-term investments consisting of certificate of deposits and obligations of the U.S. government are stated at amortized cost, which approximates their relative fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents invested in certificates of deposit, obligations of the U.S. government with an original maturity at the time of purchase of less than or equal to three months, construction loan receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments.

Common Stock Incentive Plan

Common Stock Incentive Plan

10. Common Stock Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) to enable us to motivate, attract and retain the services of directors, employees and consultants considered essential to our long-term success. The 2016 Plan offers our directors, employees and consultants an opportunity to own our stock or rights that will reflect our growth, development and financial success. Under the terms of the 2016 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other awards, will be no more than 1,000,000 shares. Any equity awards that lapse, expire, terminate, are canceled or are forfeited (including forfeitures in connection with satisfaction of tax withholdings obligations of the recipient) are re-credited to the 2016 Plan’s reserve for future issuance. The 2016 Plan automatically terminates on the date which is ten years following the effective date of the 2016 Plan.

A summary of the restricted stock activity under the 2016 Plan and related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is included in the table below:

		Weighted-

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $4.4 million for restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of approximately 2.0 years as of September 30, 2022. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $6.9 million.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. RSUs are issued as part of the Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which allows a select group of management and our non-employee directors to defer receiving certain of their cash and equity-based compensation. RSUs are subject to vesting conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan and have the same economic rights as shares of restricted stock under the 2016 Plan:

		Weighted-Average
	Restricted	Grant Date Fair
	Stock Units	Value
Balance at December 31, 2021	60,326	$	120.24
Granted	20,853	$	215.84
Balance at March 31, 2022	81,179	$	144.79
Granted	2,498	$	128.11
Balance at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022	83,677	$	144.30

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $5.5 million for RSU awards is expected to be recognized over an amortization period of approximately 1.8 years as of September 30, 2022.

In January 2021, we issued 70,795 “target” PSUs to a select group of officers, which vest and are settled in shares of common stock (“2021 PSU Award Shares”) based on the Company’s total stockholder return over a period commencing on January 11, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “2021 PSU Performance Period”) relative to two different comparator groups of companies. In January 2022, we issued 102,641 “target” PSUs to a select group of officers, which vest and are settled in shares of common stock

(referred to herein together with the 2021 PSU Award Shares as the “Award Shares”) based on the Company’s total stockholder return over a period commencing on January 11, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024 (referred to herein together with the 2021 PSU Performance Period as the “Performance Periods”) relative to two different comparator groups of companies.

At the end of the applicable Performance Periods, a recipient of PSUs may receive as few as zero Award Shares or as many as 150% of the number of target PSUs in Award Shares, plus deemed dividends. PSUs will also be reduced as necessary so the total value at the vesting date does not exceed 800% of the grant date PSU price, and if the Company’s absolute total stockholder return during the applicable Performance Periods is negative, the payout of Award Shares is capped at the target number of PSUs, notwithstanding the Company’s outperformance of comparator groups. No dividends are paid to the recipient during the applicable Performance Periods. At the end of the applicable Performance Periods, if the Company’s total stockholder return is such that the recipient earns Award Shares, the recipient will receive additional shares of common stock relating to dividends deemed to have been paid and reinvested on the Award Shares. The recipient of the Award Shares may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Award Shares for a one-year period following the vesting date of the Award Shares.

The grant date fair values of the PSUs granted in January 2021 and January 2022 were $12.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The fair values were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model based on the following assumptions:

		2021 PSU Award		2022 PSU Award
	Fair Value Assumptions		Fair Value Assumptions
Valuation date		January 6, 2021		January 7, 2022
Fair value per share on valuation date		$169.51		$194.86
Expected term		3 years		3 years
Expected price volatility		57.64%		55.99%
Risk-free interest rate		0.20%		1.17%
Discount for post vesting restriction		12.44%		12.22%

The expected share price volatility was based on the historical volatility of our shares of common stock over a period of approximately the applicable Performance Periods. The risk-free interest rate was based on the zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve on the applicable valuation date. The discount for the post vesting restriction was estimated using the Finnerty model.

Stock-based compensation for market-based PSU awards is based on the grant date fair value of the equity awards and is recognized over the applicable Performance Period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively, relating to PSU awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, relating to PSU awards. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $20.0 million relating to PSU awards is expected to be recognized over the remaining Performance Period of approximately 2.0 years.

As measured as of September 30, 2022, the performance thresholds for the vesting of the PSUs were not met for any of the applicable awards.

Office lease liability	$	1,967

Improvement Allowances. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $127.6 million of commitments related to improvement allowances, which generally may be requested by the tenants at any time up until a date that is near the expiration of the initial term of the applicable lease.

Construction Loan. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $802,000 of commitments related to our construction loan for the development of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California. The developer is required to complete construction by December 1, 2022, subject to extension in certain circumstances.

Environmental Matters. We follow the policy of monitoring our properties, both targeted acquisition and existing properties, for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liabilities that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, or that we believe would require disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

Litigation.

Class Action Lawsuit

On April 25, 2022, a federal securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers. The case was named Michael V. Malozzi, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v. Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., Paul Smithers, Catherine Hastings and Andy Bui, Case No. 2-22-cv-02359, and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The lawsuit was purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our common stock and alleges that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements regarding our business in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), SEC Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. According to the filed complaint, the plaintiff is seeking an undetermined amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief on behalf of the putative classes of all persons who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between May 7, 2020 and April 13, 2022. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, at this time, we cannot predict the probable outcome of this action, and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On September 29, 2022, an Amended Class Action complaint was filed under the same Case Number, adding as defendants Alan D. Gold, Tracie J. Hager, and Benjamin C. Regin, and asserting causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. According to the Amended Class Action Complaint, the plaintiff is seeking an undetermined amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and other relief on behalf of the putative classes of all persons who acquired shares of the Company’s common stock between August 7, 2020 and August 4, 2022. It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, at this time, we cannot predict the probable outcome of this action, and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Action Lawsuit

On July 26, 2022, a derivative action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The case was named John Rice, derivatively on behalf of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. v. Paul Smithers, Catherine Hastings, Andy Bui, Alan Gold, Gary Kreitzer, Mary Curran, Scott Shoemaker, David Stecher, and Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., and was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. The lawsuit asserts putative derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets against the directors and certain officers of the Company.  The plaintiffs are seeking declaratory relief, direction to reform and improve corporate governance and internal procedures, and an undetermined amount of damages, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 6, 2022, the defendants in this action filed a Consent Motion to Stay the Proceedings, which was granted on October 11, 2022. On September 28, 2022, a second derivative action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The case was styled Karen Drover, derivatively on behalf of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. v. Paul Smithers, Catherine Hastings, Andy Bui, Alan Gold, Gary Kreitzer, Mary Curran, Scott Shoemaker, David Stecher, Defendants, and Innovative Industrial Properties Inc., Nominal Defendant, Case Number 24-C-22-004243, and filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. The lawsuit asserts putative derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks actions to reform and improve the Company, and an undetermined amount of damages, restitution, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 19, 2022, the parties to both cases filed a Joint Motion to Consolidate Related Shareholder Derivative Actions and to Appoint Lead and Liaison Counsel for plaintiffs. The Company intends to vigorously defend these consolidated lawsuits. However, at this time, the Company cannot predict the probable outcome of this action, and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Kings Garden Lawsuit

On July 13, 2022, one of our tenants, Kings Garden Inc., defaulted on its obligations to pay base rent and property management fees under each of its six leases with our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, IIP-CA 2 LP, and defaulted on its obligations to reimburse us for certain insurance premiums at the properties incurred by us that are payable by Kings Garden as operating expenses under such leases. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Kings Garden’s monetary default under its lease with us was approximately $5.2 million in the aggregate, consisting of approximately $4.8 million of contractual base rents and property management fees and approximately $369,000 of insurance premiums and property taxes, but excluding applicable late charges and default interest. We applied a portion of the security deposits under the leases, totaling approximately $2.6 million, as payments for these amounts.

On July 25, 2022, IIP-CA 2 LP filed a lawsuit against Kings Garden. The case was named IIP-CA 2 LP, a Delaware limited partnership v. Kings Garden Inc., a Nevada corporation, CK Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation, and JM Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation, and was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California. The lawsuit asserts claims for breach of contract, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief. On August 2, 2022, the case was amended to be named IIP-CA 2 LP, a Delaware limited partnership v. Kings Garden Inc., a Nevada corporation, CK Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation,  JM Endeavors, Inc., a California corporation, Michael King, an individual, Gary LaSalle, an individual, Charles Kieley, an individual, and Laurie Kibby, an individual, and to include claims relating to construction at the expansion project and the property that was under redevelopment as of June 30, 2022 for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conversion, theft by false pretenses, money had and received, and violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (18 U.S.C. Section 1962(c)). The amount related to these project costs reported in construction in progress as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $38.5 million. The amount related to these project costs reported in buildings and improvements and tenant improvements was approximately $11.5 million in the aggregate as of December 31, 2021.

On September 11, 2022, the parties to the lawsuit entered into a confidential, conditional settlement agreement pertaining to matters related to the lawsuit. Pursuant to the conditional settlement agreement, the Company received a $10.0 million partial settlement payment from Kings Garden, which was accounted for as a reduction to construction in progress on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Of the six properties previously leased to Kings Garden, four were operational, with an expansion project at one of those properties, and the other two properties were in development or redevelopment as of September 30, 2022. In connection with the conditional settlement agreement, the Company terminated leases and regained possession of the two properties that were in development or redevelopment as of September 30, 2022.

Out of the amounts included in construction in progress at September 30, 2022, we expect to recover an additional approximately $6.0 million from Kings Garden, and we are in the process of investigating additional costs paid of approximately $9.8 million to determine whether these are potential overpayments. Although there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred in connection with the default by Kings Garden and the related construction projects, as of September 30, 2022, we are unable to make such an estimate.

We may, from time to time, be a party to other legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of these proceedings, claims, inquiries, and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the final outcome of these matters is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Regardless of final outcomes, however, any such proceedings, claims, inquiries, and investigations may nonetheless impose a significant burden on management and employees and may come with significant defense costs or unfavorable preliminary and interim rulings.

12. Subsequent Events

On October 11, 2022, we amended our lease with Sozo at one of our Michigan properties, pursuant to which we agreed to apply a part of the security deposit we hold for rental amounts due for the period from October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, which, absent the satisfaction of certain conditions, is subject to full repayment to us on January 1, 2023.

On October 25, 2022, we amended our lease with Holistic at one of our Massachusetts properties, increasing the improvement allowance under the lease by $2.0 million, which also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the base rent for the lease at the property.

On October 27, 2022, we amended our lease with a subsidiary of 4Front Ventures Corp. (“4Front”) at one of our Illinois properties, providing 4Front an option, exercisable until November 11, 2022, to increase the improvement allowance under the lease by an amount between $15.0 million and up to $19.9 million. If 4Front exercises this option, the base rent under the lease will be adjusted accordingly and the term of the lease will be extended.

On November 1, 2022, we sold a Pennsylvania industrial property that was leased to a subsidiary of Maitri Holdings, LLC for $23.5 million (approximately $461 per square foot), excluding transaction costs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Any references to square footage or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities. From time to time, the Company may acquire properties utilizing a reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Reverse 1031 Exchange”) in order to defer taxable gains on the subsequent sale of real estate properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired four properties for a total purchase price of approximately $82.3 million, excluding transaction costs, as part of Reverse 1031 Exchanges. The acquired properties are in the possession of limited liability companies whose legal equity interests are owned by a qualified intermediary engaged to execute the Reverse 1031 Exchanges until the Reverse 1031 Exchanges are completed or terminated. The limited liability companies were deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary as the Company has the ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and the Company has all of the risks and rewards of ownership. As such, the VIEs, including the acquired properties, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a consolidated VIE until legal title is transferred to the Company upon the completion of the Reverse 1031 Exchanges. There were four consolidated VIEs on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal Income Taxes. We believe that we have operated our business so as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable net income, we generally will not be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on such income. The income taxes recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of income represent amounts paid for city and state income and franchise taxes and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Reportable Segment

Reportable Segment. We are engaged in the business of providing real estate for the regulated cannabis industry. Our properties are similar in that they are leased to the state-licensed operators on a long-term triple-net basis, consist of improvements that are reusable and have similar economic characteristics. Our chief operating decision maker reviews financial information for our entire consolidated operations when making decisions related to assessing our operating performance. We have aggregated the properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities, including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies. The financial information disclosed herein represents all of the financial information related to our one reportable segment.

Acquisition of Real Estate Properties

Acquisition of Real Estate Properties. Our investment in real estate is recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Upon acquisition of a property, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are initially measured based upon their relative fair values. We estimate the fair value of land by reviewing comparable sales within the same submarket and/or region. We estimate the fair value of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements as if the property was vacant, taking into consideration current replacement costs and other relevant market rate information and may engage third-party valuation specialists. Acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. All of our acquisitions to date were recorded as asset acquisitions.

The fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on our assessment of estimated lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amounts recorded for acquired in-place leases are reflected as in-place lease intangible assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a component of depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases.

The fair value of the above-market component of an acquired in-place operating lease is based upon the present value (calculated using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining non-cancellable lease term and (ii) our estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates and rent escalations at the date of acquisition measured over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. The amount recorded for one above-market operating lease is included in other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental revenues over the remaining term of the applicable lease.

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation. We capitalize costs associated with development and redevelopment activities and tenant improvements when we are considered to be the accounting owner of the resulting assets. The development and redevelopment activities may be funded by us pursuant to the lease. We are generally considered the accounting owner for such improvements that are attached to or built into the premises, which are required under the lease to be surrendered to us upon the expiration or earlier termination of the lease. Typically, such improvements include, but are not limited to, ground up development, and enhanced HVAC, plumbing, electrical and other building systems.

Amounts capitalized are depreciated over estimated useful lives determined by management. We depreciate buildings and improvements and tenant improvements based on our evaluation of the estimated useful life of each specific asset, not to exceed 40 years. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized depreciation expense of approximately $15.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized depreciation expense of approximately $44.4 million and $29.6 million, respectively, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We depreciate office equipment and furniture and fixtures over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. We depreciate the leasehold improvements at our corporate office over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term.

Determining whether expenditures meet the criteria for capitalization and the assignment of depreciable lives requires management to exercise significant judgment. Project costs that are clearly associated with the acquisition and development or redevelopment of a real estate project, for which we are the accounting owner, are capitalized as a cost of that project. Expenditures that meet one or more of the following criteria generally qualify for capitalization:

● the expenditure provides benefit in future periods; and

● the expenditure extends the useful life of the asset beyond our original estimates.

We define redevelopment properties as existing properties for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs that are not reimbursements to tenants for improvements at the properties. When existing properties are determined to be redevelopment properties, the net carrying value of the buildings and improvements and tenant improvements are transferred to construction in progress while the redevelopment activities are in process. Costs capitalized to construction in progress related to redevelopment properties are transferred to buildings and improvements and tenant improvements at historical cost of the properties as the redevelopment project or phases of projects are placed in service. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reclassified the net carrying value of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements totaling approximately $59.0 million to construction in progress in connection with the default by Kings Garden Inc. (“Kings Garden”) and the related litigation (see Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation — Kings Garden Lawsuit”).

Provision for Impairment

Provision for Impairment. On a quarterly basis, we review current activities and changes in the business conditions of all of our properties prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarter to determine the existence of any triggering events or impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis. If triggering events or impairment indicators are identified, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows for the properties, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.

Long-lived assets are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairment indicators or triggering events for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by project and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market factors. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the property, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives. No impairment losses were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition. Our leases are triple-net leases, an arrangement under which the tenant maintains the property while paying us rent. We account for our current leases as operating leases and record revenue for each of our properties on a cash basis due to the uncertain regulatory environment in the United States pertaining to the regulated cannabis industry, the limited operating history of certain tenants and the resulting uncertainty of collectability of lease payments from each tenant over the duration of the lease term. Contractually obligated reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes, insurance and operating expenses are included in rental revenues in the period when such costs are reimbursed by the tenants. Contractually obligated real estate taxes that are paid directly by the tenant to the tax authorities are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Construction Loan

Construction Loan. In June 2021, we executed a construction loan agreement with a developer, pursuant to which we agreed to lend up to $18.5 million for the development of a regulated cannabis cultivation and processing facility in California. We have an option to purchase the property, and may execute a negotiated lease with an affiliate of the developer or with another third party, if we determine to exercise our purchase option. The developer is required to complete construction by December 1, 2022, subject to extension in certain circumstances. Interest on the construction loan is payable at maturity, which is December 25, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had funded approximately $17.7 million of the construction loan.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $66.5 million and $72.0 million, respectively, were invested in short-term money market funds, obligations of the U.S. government and certificates of deposit with an original maturity at the time of purchase of less than or equal to three months.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash relates to cash held in escrow accounts for future draws for improvements for tenants in accordance with certain lease agreements.

Investments

Investments. Investments consist of obligations of the U.S. government and certificates of deposit with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity and stated at amortized cost.

Exchangeable Notes

Exchangeable Notes. The liability and equity components of exchangeable debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon exchange, including partial cash settlement, are required to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonexchangeable debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of our Exchangeable Senior Notes (as defined below) were

allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonexchangeable debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the Exchangeable Senior Notes as of the date of issuance. We measured the estimated fair value of the debt component of our Exchangeable Senior Notes as of the date of issuance based on our estimated nonexchangeable debt borrowing rate with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist as we do not have a history of borrowing arrangements and there is limited empirical data available related to the Company’s industry due to the regulatory uncertainty of the cannabis market in which the Company’s tenants operate. The equity component of our Exchangeable Senior Notes was reflected within additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the resulting debt discount was amortized over the period during which the Exchangeable Senior Notes are expected to be outstanding (through the maturity date) as additional non-cash interest expense.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt by eliminating the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models, and convertible debt proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity components. ASU 2020-06 also updates the earnings per share calculation and requires entities to assume share settlement when the convertible debt can be settled in cash or shares. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $728,000 to the opening balance of retained earnings and derecognized approximately $1.3 million of the remaining equity component relating to the outstanding principal balance of our Exchangeable Senior Notes at the date of adoption.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs. The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation for equity awards is based on the grant date fair value of the equity awards and is recognized over the requisite service or performance period. If awards are forfeited prior to vesting, we reverse any previously recognized expense related to such awards in the period during which the forfeiture occurs and reclassify any non-forfeitable dividends and dividend equivalents previously paid on these awards from retained earnings to compensation expense. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Certain equity awards are subject to vesting based upon the satisfaction of various market conditions. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

Lease Accounting

Lease Accounting. We adopted Topic 842 effective as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and elected the package of practical expedients that allows an entity not to reassess upon adoption (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, (ii) whether a lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, and (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs, and as a lessor, the practical expedient not to separate certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from the lease component if  the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and associated lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. We also elected the lessor practical expedient, allowing us to continue to amortize previously capitalized initial direct leasing costs incurred prior to the adoption of Topic 842.

As lessee, we recognized a liability to account for our future obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset related to our corporate office lease. The lease liability was initially measured based on the present value of the future lease payments discounted using the estimated incremental borrowing rate of 7.25%, which was the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. In November 2021, we amended the lease to extend the term from April 2025 to January 2027 in connection with an expansion of the leased space which did not commence until February 2022. As a result of the lease amendment, we re-measured the lease liability relating to the existing leased space and measured the lease liability relating to the expansion space based on the present value of the respective future lease payments (excluding the extension option that we are not reasonably certain to exercise), discounted using the estimated incremental borrowing rate of 5.5%, which was the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. Subsequently, the lease liability is accreted by applying a discount rate established at the lease commencement date to the lease liability balance as of the beginning of the period and is reduced by the payments made during the period.

The right-of-use asset is measured based on the corresponding lease liability. We did not incur any initial direct leasing costs and any other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis during the lease term. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized

office lease expense of approximately $121,000 and $57,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized office lease expense of approximately $344,000 and $171,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, amounts paid and classified as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the office lease were approximately $282,000 and $176,000, respectively.

As lessor, for each of our real estate transactions involving the leaseback of the related property to the seller or affiliates of the seller, we determine whether these transactions qualify as sale and leaseback transactions under the accounting guidance. For these transactions, we consider various inputs and assumptions including, but not necessarily limited to, lease terms, renewal options, discount rates, and other rights and provisions in the purchase and sale agreement, lease and other documentation to determine whether control has been transferred to the Company or remains with the lessee. A transaction involving a sale leaseback will be treated as a purchase of a real estate property if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset from the lessee. A lease will be classified as direct-financing if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control and will be classified as a sales-type lease if control of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee. Otherwise, the lease is treated as an operating lease. These criteria also include estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of the leased facilities, minimum lease payments, the economic useful life of the facilities, the existence of a purchase option, and certain other terms in the lease agreements. The lease accounting guidance requires accounting for a transaction as a financing in a sale leaseback when the seller-lessee is provided an option to purchase the property from the landlord at the tenant’s option. Substantially all of our leases continued to be classified as operating leases and we continue to record revenue for each of our properties on a cash basis. Our tenant reimbursable revenue and property expenses continue to be presented on a gross basis as rental revenues and as property expenses, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of income. Property taxes paid directly by the lessee to a third party continue to be excluded from our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Lease amendments are evaluated to determine if the modification grants the lessee an additional right-of-use not included in the original lease and if the lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price of the additional right-of-use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract. If both conditions are present, the lease amendment is accounted for as a new lease that is separate from the original lease.

Our leases generally contain options to extend the lease terms at the prevailing market rate or at the expiring rental rate at the time of expiration. Certain of our leases provide the lessee with a right of first refusal or right of first offer in the event we market the leased property for sale.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk. As of September 30, 2022, we owned 111 properties located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The ability of any of our tenants to honor the terms of their leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, competition, natural and social factors affecting the community in which that tenant operates.
