Zoned Properties Provides Update on Chino Valley Cultivation Development

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoned Properties, Inc. (OTCQX: ZDPY), a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to identify, develop and lease sophisticated, safe and sustainable properties in emerging industries, including the licensed medical marijuana industry, today announced that it remains on schedule to complete the development of 50,000 square feet of operational space at its licensed medical marijuana cultivation facilities located in Chino Valley, Arizona. The Company expects that its primary tenant and client, Hana Meds, will have the 50,000 square feet of developed cultivation space operational and producing by the end of 2018. The completion of this phase of development will amplify Zoned Properties' ability to recognize both fixed rental revenue and variable, percentage-based advisory fee revenue equal to 10% of Hana Meds gross revenue beginning in January 2019.

"Expansion of the Chino Valley Cultivation Facility will provide Hana Meds with the operating space it needs to serve a rapidly growing demand for its own vertically-integrated products in addition to the overall medical marijuana market in Arizona," commented Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties. "Moving forward, the Chino Valley development will continue to add operational capacity in what is becoming a premier marijuana cultivation area in the Southwest Region of the United States. With completion of this phase of construction, we will meet our commitment to the local community and to our shareholders to develop sophisticated, safe and sustainable properties that increase the value of the property itself and the surrounding area. Just as important, meeting our project commitments supports our transition to a business model that eliminates the ceiling on revenue generation and allows us to implement a more aggressive growth strategy. As previously announced, the company's variable, percentage-based advisory fees will commence in January 2019 adding a new revenue stream that we believe will exceed the revenue stream we would have achieved under our previous leasing model."

Zoned Properties and its primary tenant and client, Hana Meds, have agreed to a set of long-term leases of the entirety of the company's licensed medical marijuana facilities in Arizona; properties located in Chino Valley, Green Valley, Tempe and Kingman through the year 2040, with plans to further expand the developments as operational growth increases over time. In addition, Zoned Properties and Hana Meds have entered into a long-term strategic advisory relationship, under which Zoned Properties will assist Hana Meds in all aspects of building and facility performance, aiming to increase efficiency, sustainability and profitability. Zoned Properties will receive an advisory fee equal to 10% of gross revenues, paid monthly beginning January 2019.

Completion of the 50,000 square feet of operational space is anticipated to provide Hana Meds with the ability to yield up to 75 pounds of medical marijuana per week, or up to 3,750 pounds per year, which could provide Hana Meds enough capacity to obtain up to 6% of Arizona's medical marijuana market demand. Arizona's medical marijuana market sold over $400 Million worth of medical marijuana products in 2017 and is anticipated to sell over $500 Million worth of products in 2018.

The 50,000 square feet of operational space represents only a small fraction of the roughly 25 acres of operational space dedicated to medical marijuana cultivation and processing under a long-term master plan approved by the Town of Chino Valley. The municipality granted Zoned Properties a five-year Protected Development deal to build out its entire 47.6-acre Master Plan, which includes corporate office space for management, sustainable housing for on-site workers, a large-scale solar power installation to support energy requirements in addition to its medical marijuana facilities.
