Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Presidio Property Trust and its subsidiaries, NetREIT Advisors, LLC and Dubose Advisors LLC (collectively, the “Advisors”), and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. The consolidated financial statements also include the results of the NetREIT Partnerships, and the Model Home Partnerships. As used herein, references to the “Company” include references to Presidio Property Trust, its subsidiaries, and the partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of (a) Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp. ("Murphy Canyon"), which is a SPAC, for which we serve as the financial sponsor (as described below), and which is deemed to be controlled by us as a result of our 23.5% equity ownership stake, the overlap of three of our executive officers as executive officers of Murphy Canyon, and significant influence and operational control that we currently exercise over the funding and acquisition of new operations for an initial business combination ("IBC"). (see Note 2, Variable Interest Entity). All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the NetREIT Partnerships as part of consolidated net income (loss) in 2022 and 2021 and has included the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of equity since inception in February 2010. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interest will be remeasured, with the gain or loss reported in the statement of operations. Management has evaluated the noncontrolling interests and determined that they do not contain any redemption features.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between land, building and intangible assets acquired including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants’ ability to pay. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Real Estate Assets and Lease Intangibles. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost, including tenant improvements and lease acquisition costs (including leasing commissions, space planning fees, and legal fees). The Company capitalizes any expenditure that replaces, improves, or otherwise extends the economic life of an asset, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties between the acquired tangible assets and liabilities (consisting of land, buildings, tenant improvements, and long-term debt) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (including the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships), in each case based on their respective fair values.

The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the property was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land, building and building improvements are based on many factors, including, but not limited to, comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area and independent third-party valuations. In estimating the fair values of the tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities acquired, the Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre‑acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.

The value allocated to acquired lease intangibles is based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include, but are not limited, to the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease, the tenant’s credit quality, and other factors.

The value allocable to the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below-market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Amortization of above and below-market rents resulted in a net increase in rental income of approximately $55,000 and $18,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expenses over the remaining term of the respective leases, which range from less than a year to ten years. The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount allocated to unamortized lease origination costs is determined by what the Company would have paid to a third-party to secure a new tenant reduced by the expired term of the respective lease. The amount allocated to tenant relationships is the benefit resulting from the likelihood of a tenant renewing its lease. Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Real Estate Held for Development and Sale, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. We generally reclassify assets to held for sale when the disposition has been approved, it is available for immediate sale in its present condition, we are activity seeing a buyer, and the disposition is considered probable within one year. Additionally, real estate sold during the current period is classified as “real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Mortgage notes payable related to the real estate sold during the current period is classified as “notes payable related to real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we record the operating results related to real estate that has been disposed of as discontinued operations for all periods presented if the operations have been eliminated and represent a strategic shift and we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property following the sale.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairments of Real Estate Assets. We regularly review for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Impairment is recognized on a property held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than the carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. The calculation of both discounted and undiscounted cash flows requires management to make estimates of future cash flows including but not limited to revenues, operating expenses, required maintenance and development expenditures, market conditions, demand for space by tenants and rental rates over long periods. Since our properties typically have a long life, the assumptions used to estimate the future recoverability of carrying value requires significant management judgment. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Although our strategy is to hold our properties over the long-term, if our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to fair value and such loss could be material.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded its Highland Court property (“Highland Court”) as held for sale and subsequently entered into a purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) with an unrelated third-party. Highland Court had a book value of approximately $10.5 million prior to entering into the PSA. The final selling price as agreed upon in the PSA was approximately $10.2 million. As such, the Company recorded a $0.3 million non-cash impairment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations at March 31, 2021. The sale was completed in May 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an impairment of 300 N.P. totaling approximately $0.3 million in connection with an updated appraisal. There were no impairments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets, including goodwill and lease intangibles, are comprised of finite-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Lease intangibles represents the allocation of a portion of the purchase price of a property acquisition representing the estimated value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs, tenant relationships and land purchase options. Intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite-lived assets are not amortized. Amortization expense of intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operation.

The Company is required to perform a test for impairment of goodwill and other definite and indefinite lived assets at least annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered to be unrecoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. No impairment was deemed to exist at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization [Policy Text Block]

Depreciation and Amortization. The Company records depreciation and amortization expense using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. The costs of buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 39 years, the costs of improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or term of the tenant lease (which range from 1 to 10 years), the costs associated with acquired tenant intangibles over the remaining lease term and the cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over 4 to 5 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $5.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, and is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had approximately $16.5 million and $14.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively. The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include money market funds. Cash balances in individual banks may exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). No losses have been experienced related to such accounts. At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $8.8 million in deposits in financial institutions that exceeded the federally insurable limits. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow for Company lenders for properties held as collateral by the lenders. The funds in escrow are for payment of property taxes, insurance, leasing costs and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $4.4 million of restricted cash. At December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $7.3 million in deposits in financial institutions that exceeded the federally insurable limits. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow for Company lenders for properties held as collateral by the lenders. The funds in escrow are for payment of property taxes, insurance, leasing costs and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has approximately $4.7 million of restricted cash.

Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivables. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease agreements. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable that arises from straight lining of rents. The Company exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 , the balance of allowance for possible uncollectable tenant receivables included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately $138,000 and $70,000, respectively.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Leasing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with successful property leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized to leasing commission expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases which generally range from one to five years. Deferred leasing costs consist of third-party leasing commissions. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the tenants and economic and market conditions change. If management determines the estimated remaining life of the respective lease has changed, the amortization period is adjusted. At December 31, 2022 and 2021 , the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred, including legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees, in connection with debt financing are capitalized as deferred financing costs, are amortized using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the contractual term of the respective loans and recorded as an offset to the carrying value of the debt. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, unamortized deferred financing costs related to mortgage notes payable were approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, total amortization expense related to the mortgage notes payable deferred financing costs was approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Offering Costs. Deferred offering costs represent legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our offerings. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have incurred approximately $117,000 and $135,000, at the end of each period. These costs are related to various registration statements and our offering of common and preferred stock in connection with the sponsorship, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Murphy Canyon Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), of a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) initial public offering as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the costs related to the preparation of a registration statement for the Company have gone stale and were fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there were no deferred offering costs.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, for federal income tax purposes.To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. We are subject to certain state and local income taxes. As of December 31, 2022, we have estimated approximately $18.0 million of Federal net operating loss (NOLs) carryforwards to offset potential future federal tax obligations. We may not generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to be able to realize fully the tax benefits of our NOL carry-forwards.

We, together with our subsidiary, NetREIT Dubose, have elected to treat such subsidiary as taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed any significant interest or penalties for tax positions by any major tax jurisdictions.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The guidance requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:

•

Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•

Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, we utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement.

Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third-party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third-party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our marketable securities presented on the balance sheet were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices and totaled approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, with a cost basis of approximately $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Additionally, when determining the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Sales of Real Estate Assets. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets or in substance nonfinancial assets that do not meet the definition of a business. Generally, our sales of real estate would be considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset as defined by ASC 610-20.

ASC 610-20 refers to the revenue recognition principles under ASU No. 2014-9. Under ASC 610-20, if we determine we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the asset and the arrangement meets the criteria to be accounted for as a contract, we would derecognize the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivables. We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and record amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, rental revenue begins when the tenant takes possession or has control of the physical use of the leased space and any tenant improvement allowance, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that the tenant can take in the form of cash or a credit against its rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors, including, but not limited to:

•

whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

•

whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;

•

whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

•

whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and

•

whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

We record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.

We make estimates of the collectability of our tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rent receivable, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, deferred rent receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, we will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.

Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Variable Interest Entity. We determine whether an entity is a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. Our determination of whether an entity in which we hold a direct or indirect variable interest is a VIE is based on several factors, including whether we participated in the design of the entity and the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, and then a quantitative analysis, if necessary.

We analyze any investments in VIEs to determine if we are the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate our direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. A reporting entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is primarily a qualitative approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment.

We consider a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, including, but not limited to, the ability to direct operating decisions and activities. In addition, we consider the rights of other investors to participate in those decisions. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time we become involved with a variable interest entity and reconsider that conclusion continually. We consolidate any VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary.

The Company is involved in the formation of an entity considered to be a VIE. The Company evaluates the consolidation of this entity as required pursuant to ASC Topic 810 relating to the consolidation of such VIE. The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties have the power to direct activities of the VIE and are exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards of the entity.

Following the completion of the Murphy Canyon IPO, we determined that Murphy Canyon is a VIE in which we have a variable interest because we participated in its formation and design, manage the significant activities, and Murphy Canyon does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We have also determined that Murphy Canyon's public stockholders do not have substantive rights, and their equity interest constitutes temporary equity, outside of permanent equity, in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A. As such, we have concluded that we are currently the primary beneficiary of Murphy Canyon as a VIE, as we have the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity, as well as the power to direct a majority of the activities that significantly impact Murphy Canyon's economic performance. Since we are the primary beneficiary, Murphy Canyon is consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

Shares Subject to Mandatory Redemption, Changes in Redemption Value, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shares Subject to Possible Redemption. The Company accounts for common stock issued by the SPAC (which is consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements), that is subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Under ASC 480, shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of common stock (including shares of common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as shareholders’ equity.

All of the Public Shares of Murphy Canyon SPAC (Class A Common Shares) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the SPAC's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the SPAC's initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the SPAC's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022, the Public Shares are presented as temporary equity, outside the shareholder's equity section of the Company's December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet.

Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants which were classified as permanent equity as described below), the proceeds and initial carrying value of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was allocated in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Murphy Canyon Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. In addition, because it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, we have the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. We have elected to recognize the accretion resulting from changes in redemption value immediately during the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Warrant Instruments SPAC. The Company and Murphy Canyon account for warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 480 and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Under ASC 815-40 and ASC 840 warrants that meet the criteria for equity treatment are recorded in stockholder’s equity. The warrants are subject to re-evaluation of the proper classification and accounting treatment at each reporting period. If the warrants no longer meet the criteria for equity treatment, they will be recorded as a liability and remeasured each period with changes recorded in the statement of operations. The warrants meet the criteria for classification as equity because they are not exercisable until after the SPAC business combination is completed, at which point the common shares are no longer redeemable and because they are indexed to Murphy Canyon's common stock and meet the other criteria for equity classification. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income (Loss) per Common Share. Basic income (loss) per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (Numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (Denominator) during the period. Diluted loss per common share (Diluted EPS) is similar to the computation of Basic EPS except that the Denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the Numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest recognized in the period associated with any convertible debt. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 , the basic and diluted net loss per share are equivalent at $0.57 and $0.46 per share because the Company had incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders causing any potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive.

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016- 13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, amended in February 2020 with ASU No. 2020- 02, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016- 13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016- 13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. While ASU 2016- 13 was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, the issuance of ASU 2020- 02 has allowed for the delay in adoption for certain smaller public companies and is now effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Retrospective adjustments shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption did not have an impact to our financial statements as this was effective January 1, 2023.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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). This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance with no material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions in order to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting as it relates to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions by allowing companies to modify contracts that previously contained LIBOR rates without evaluating whether the modification constituted a new contract. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022 and are used on a prospective basis upon adoption. In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”), which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024 after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company adopted this guidance of ASU 2020-04 as of March 31, 2020 noting no material impact to the financial statements and does not expect the update in ASU 2022-06 to have a material impact to our financial statements.
