Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
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, Inc. 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, Inc., its subsidiaries, and the partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of Murphy Canyon up until September 22, 2023, when it completed its business combination.  Murphy Canyon was a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") for which we served as the financial sponsor (as described herein), and which was deemed to be controlled by us as a result of our 65% equity ownership stake, the overlap of three of our executive officers as executive officers of Murphy Canyon, and significant influence that we exercised over the funding and acquisition of new operations for an initial business combination (see Note 2, Variable Interest Entity). All intercompany balances, prior to deconsolidation and loss of control on September 22, 2023, have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the NetREIT Partnerships as part of consolidated net (loss) income in 2024 and 2023 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 consolidated statements 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 consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, private warrants, the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between the components of 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 could 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 attributable 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  $4,641 and  $4,974 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 $17,526 and $17,526 for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 actively seeking a buyer, and the disposition is considered probable within one year.  Additionally, real estate sold during the current period is classified as “real estate assets held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Mortgage notes payable related to the real estate sold during the current period are classified as “mortgage notes payable related to properties held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying 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. Properties considered held for sale are recorded at the lesser of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.  As of December 31, 2024, three commercial properties, Union Town Center, Research Parkway, and Dakota Center met the criteria to be classified as "held for sale", and  9 model homes were classified as "held for sale", but are not considered discontinued operations or a strategic shift in our operations.

 

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. Impairment is recognized on a property held for sale when the fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying amount. The calculation of both discounted and undiscounted cash flows requires management to make estimates of future cash flows that are determined based on a number of inputs and assumptions such as the intended hold period, market rental rates, leasing assumptions, capitalization rates and discount rates. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. 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.

 

We review the carrying value of each of our real estate properties regularly to determine if circumstances indicate an impairment in the carrying value of these investments exists. During the year ended  December 31, 2024, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of approximately $1.8 million, with approximately $0.4 million related to model homes and approximately $1.4 million related to our commercial properties Dakota Center and 300 NP.  

 

The impairment on our commercial property, Dakota Center, was the result of the loan maturing in July and the Company not being able to reach an agreement with the lenders regarding a loan modification or extension. In October, the lender has agreed to a sale of the property to settle the balance of the non-recourse loan.  Due to the uncertainties in the Fargo market, we decided to impair the property’s book value, in accordance with ASC 360-10.  As such, for the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.7 million. The impairment on 300 NP, totaling approximately $0.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2024, related to changing cap rates in the area and low historical occupancy.  This property is not listed for sale and has no debt.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets.  Intangible assets, including goodwill and lease intangibles, are comprised of finite-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Lease intangibles represent 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  and , respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 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. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we have recorded an impairment charge to the goodwill of NTR Property Management for approximately $0.2 million.  See Fair Value Measurements below for additional information.

 

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, 2024 and 2023 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, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash.  At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had approximately $8.0 million and $6.5 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, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.0 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, mortgage payment reserves, and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $5.0 million of restricted cash.  At December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0.7 million in deposits in financial institutions that exceeded the federally insurable limits. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $3.7 million of restricted cash.

 

Accounts 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, 2024 and 2023, the balance of allowance for possible uncollectable tenant receivables included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately  $0 and  $91,718, 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, 2024 and 2023, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately  $1.7 million and  $1.7 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately  $0.5 million and  $0.5 million, respectively, and is included in the total for depreciation and amortization noted above.

 

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, 2024 and 2023, unamortized deferred financing costs related to mortgage notes payable were approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, total amortization expense related to the mortgage notes payable deferred financing costs was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 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, 2024 and 2023, we have incurred approximately zero and $5,000, respectively, in deferred offering costs as of the end of each period related to our registration statement on Form S-3.

 

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, 2024, 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 one of our entities, have elected to treat certain subsidiaries as a 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 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. 

 

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, 2024, we did not hold any marketable securities, excluding our investments in Conduit's common stock and common stock warrants.  As of  December 31, 2023, our marketable securities (excluding our investments in Conduit's common stock and common stock warrants), held at a third party broker, presented on the consolidated balance sheets within other assets were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices and totaled approximately $45,149, with a cost basis of approximately $40,315. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

On April 22, 2024, the Company entered into a lockup agreement with Conduit pursuant to which the Company agreed not to transfer or sell 2,700,000 of its 4,015,250 shares of Conduit common stock for a period of one year.  In consideration for entering into the lockup agreement, Conduit issued the Company a warrant ("Private CDT Warrants") to purchase 540,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.12 per share, with a two year term and exercisable one year after the date of issue.  The Private CDT Warrants meet the ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities ("ASC 321") scope exception for derivative instruments and are accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). As such, the Private CDT Warrants were recorded at fair value on the date of issuance and subsequently measured at fair value each period, with changes in fair value reported in gain or loss on Conduit Pharmaceuticals marketable securities.  As of April 22, 2024, the Private CDT Warrants were valued at $891,000 based on a Level 3 fair value measurement.  As of  December 31, 2024, the Private CDT Warrants fair value was adjusted to zero, and is included in the total Investment in Conduit Pharmaceuticals marketable securities on the December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet.  Our investments in Conduit's common stock (CDT) and public common stock warrants (CDTTW) presented on the consolidated balance sheets were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices, taking into account the adoption of ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, and totaled approximately $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The combined value of our Investment in Conduit Pharmaceuticals marketable securities, including the Private CDT Warrants, totaled $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Our investments in Conduit's common stock and public common stock warrants presented on the consolidated balance sheet were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices as of  December 31, 2023, and totaled approximately $18.3 million.  The adjustments to the fair value of our investment in Conduit Pharmaceuticals marketable securities are recorded in net loss in Conduit Pharmaceuticals marketable securities on our consolidated statement of operations.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings per share (EPS). The EPS on common stock has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share.  The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted stock, which contains rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per share of common stock.  In accordance with the two-class method, earnings per share have been computed by dividing the net income less net income attributable to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

 

Dilutive common stock equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common stock equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common stock shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. Securities that are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common stock, because their inclusion would have been antidilutive, are:

Total potentially dilutive shares

  17,700,874   17,291,064 

 

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 year ended December 31, 2024, the basic and diluted net loss per share was $2.25, since all potentially dilutive securities were determined to be anti-dilutive, and for the year ended December 31, 2023 the basic and diluted net earnings per share are equivalent at $0.68 per share because the Company had incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders causing any potentially dilutive securities to be anti-dilutive.

 

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. Additionally, we recognize transaction fees associated with the leasing of our model homes on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases, and are included within rental income on our consolidated statement of operations.  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 was involved in the formation of an entity considered to be a VIE, prior to September 22, 2023, when Murphy Canyon completed its business combination. The Company evaluated 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 in January 2022, we determined that Murphy Canyon was a VIE in which we had a variable interest because we participated in its formation and design, manage the significant activities, and Murphy Canyon did 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 did not have substantive rights, and their equity interest constituted temporary equity, outside of permanent equity, in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A. As such, we have concluded that, prior to the business combination, we were the primary beneficiary of Murphy Canyon as a VIE, as we had 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 impacted Murphy Canyon's economic performance. Since we were the primary beneficiary, Murphy Canyon was consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 Investment in Conduit Pharmaceuticals for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

 

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

Shares Subject to Possible Redemption. Given that the shares of Murphy Canyon Class A common stock issued to investors in its IPO 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 the Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was allocated in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Murphy Canyon Class A common stock was subject to ASC 480-10-S99. In addition, because it was probable that the equity instrument would become redeemable, we had 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 became 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 occurred and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. We elected to recognize the accretion resulting from changes in redemption value immediately during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and every quarter since then, until September 22, 2023 as noted above.  See Note 9 Investment in Conduit Pharmaceuticals for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

 

Excise Tax Policy [Policy Text Block]

Excise Tax. In accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the Company accrues the expected excise tax obligation at the end of each reporting period as a cost of redeeming any shares as of that date. In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal for the SPAC, holders of 11,037,272 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares of Class A Common Stock for the aggregate redemption amount of $114,068,280.  As such the SPAC had recorded a 1% excise tax liability in the amount of $1,140,683 during January 2023. The liability did not impact the statements of operations or statement cash flows and is an offset against additional paid in capital, to the extent available, and accumulated deficit.  On September 22, 2023, Murphy Canyon completed its business combination with Conduit  Pharma and shareholders and debtholders of Conduit Pharma were issued 65,000,000 shares of Conduit common stock.  The excise tax liability recorded in connection with the January 2023 redemptions was reversed in full by the issuance of Conduit shares on  September 22, 2023.

 

Immaterial Error Corrections, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Immaterial Error Corrections. During the second quarter of 2024, management determined that its prior treatment of accruing restricted compensation expense as a liability and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets should be treated differently. Management determined that the restricted stock compensation should be treated as equity and included in additional paid in capital in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the prior years in accordance with ASC 718. Compensation - Stock Compensation. Accordingly, the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in equity as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2024, respectively, reflects an adjustment to include restricted stock compensation.

 

On the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflects a reduction of $21,189 and additional paid-in capital reflects an increase of $21,189.  On the consolidated statements of changes in equity, the three months ended March 31, 2023,  June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 reflect the addition of restricted stock compensation of $232,106, $228,657, and $270,564, respectively, and the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes restricted stock compensation of $317,077. The corrections did not affect Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in any prior periods.

 

During the third quarter of 2024, management determined that the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023, overstated the amount of cash outflows for building and tenant improvements as a portion of those additions were in accounts payable at the end of each period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023, $850,918 and $295,567, respectively, should have been disclosed as a supplemental disclosure of cash flow information as unpaid building and tenant improvements. Additionally, management has determined that debt financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 totaling $246,557 should be reclassified from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to payment of debt financing costs under cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Thereby, increasing net cash provided by operating activities and reducing net cash provided by financing activities by $246,557.  The net effect of adjusting unpaid building and tenant improvements and debt financings costs amounts to a $49,010 decrease to operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023. These errors impact  the consolidated statement of cash flows and do not affect the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statements of changes in equity. 

 

As such, the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, reflects an adjustment to reduce cash outflows for unpaid building and tenant improvements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities, as previously reported, of $488,137 was reduced by $850,918 and net cash provided by investing activities, as previously reported, of $128,168,785 was increased by $850,918.  Additionally, the $295,567 of unpaid building and tenant improvements that were recorded in accounts payable as of December 31, 2023, and paid in January 2024, are included in the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The effect of correcting the errors in operating and investing cash flows for unpaid building and tenant improvements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $48,207 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $204,054, which will be reflected in the Company’s interim financial statements the next time these periods are presented.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2024, management determined that its prior treatment of including amortization of model home transactions fees in fees and other income should be reclassified to rental income on the consolidated statement of operations.  For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the total fees reclassified amounted to $757,704 and $649,166, respectively.  There was no change to total revenues in either period.

 

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications. Certain prior year balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows accounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not affect net income in the prior year's consolidated statement of operations.

 

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Warrant Instruments SPAC. Murphy Canyon accounted 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 statements of operations. The warrants meet the criteria for classification as equity because they were not exercisable until after the SPAC business combination, which occurred on September 22, 2023, 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 / Conduit.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.  In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes, to enhance income tax disclosures, provide more information about tax risks and opportunities present in worldwide operations, and to disaggregate existing income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We have adopted ASU 2023-09 and have updated our financial statement disclosures accordingly.

 

In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, establishing improvements to reportable segments disclosures to enhance segment reporting under Topic 280. This ASU aims to change how public entities identify and aggregate operating segments and apply quantitative thresholds to determine their reportable segments. This ASU also requires public entities that operate as a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures in Topic 280, not just entity level disclosures. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and the amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We have adopted ASU 2023-07 and have updated our segment financial statement disclosures accordingly.

 

In March 2024, the SEC issued final climate-disclosure rules to enhance and standardize climate‐related disclosures by public companies. With regards to financial statements, the rules requires disclosure of (i) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, charges, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to applicable one percent and de minimis disclosure thresholds; (ii) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, and losses related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates (RECs) if used as a material component of a company's plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets or goals; and (iii) if the estimates and assumptions the company uses to produce the financial statements were materially impacted by risks and uncertainties associated with severe weather events and other natural conditions or any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans, a qualitative description of how the development of such estimates and assumptions was impacted. The rules are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and are to be applied prospectively. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review as a result of litigation.

 

In November 2024, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2024-03, Income StatementReporting Comprehensive, IncomeExpense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”).  This ASU is to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development).  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.  In January 2025, this was updated by ASU 2025-01—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.  The amendment in this Update amends the effective date of Update 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of Update 2024-03 is permitted.  We have not yet adopted ASU 2024-03 and are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
