“Our first quarter 2020 financial results mark an exciting milestone for Zoned Properties, as we have begun investing our cash position into strategic market growth opportunities,” commented Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties.
“We believe the ability to leverage our property portfolio in Arizona is on the immediate horizon as the State’s marketplace advances efforts to transition into an adult-use classification. Leveraging our portfolio successfully could allow for significant development expansion, rental revenue growth, and investment opportunities. We have focused on an anti-dilutive and value-driven approach to scaling Zoned Properties with sound business fundamentals and healthy financing tactics, something we believe will ultimately benefit shareholders. Now more than ever, a sustainable and community-based value proposition means scalability, which we believe is the key to long-term value.”

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue” or similar expressions.

Investors should not place any undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control which could, and likely will, materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Any forward-looking statement reflects the Company’s current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity.

COVID-19 Statement
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. As of May 14, 2020, all of the properties in our portfolio are open to our Significant Tenants and their customers and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. At this time, we do not foresee any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. Our tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.
