This mortgage is secured by the Company’s properties in New Bedford, MA and Middleboro, MA.

The Company has a second mortgage with Bank of New England that is secured by the Company’s property in Wilmington, DE. The mortgage matures in 2031 with monthly principal and interest payments at a rate of 5.25% per annum through September 2021, and thereafter the rate adjusting every five years to the then prime rate plus 1.5% with a floor of 5.25% per annum. At September 2021, the interest rate remained at 5.25%.

The Company maintains a mortgage agreement with DuQuoin State Bank (“DSB”) for its purchase of properties in Anna, IL and Harrisburg, IL. On May 5th of each year, this mortgage is due to be repaid unless it is renewed for another year at a rate determined by DSB’s executive committee. The mortgage was renewed in May 2021 at a rate of 6.75% per annum.

In July 2021, the Company purchased the land and building in which it operates its cannabis dispensary in Metropolis, IL. The purchase price consisted of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were valued at $705,000 on the date of the transaction, and payoff of the seller’s remaining mortgage of approximately $1.6 million. In connection with this purchase, the Company entered into a second mortgage agreement with DSB in the amount of $2.7 million that matures in July 2041 and initially bears interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum which is adjusted each year based on a certain interest rate index plus a margin.
