Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our August 22, 2024 letter. Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition, page F-10 1. We note your response to our prior comment 1 and the company s position that it will not adjust its cash basis of accounting for leases in its portfolio until cannabis is federally legalized and regulatory uncertainty is alleviated. With a view towards enhanced disclosure, please describe in further detail the process the company performs at lease commencement and on an ongoing basis in assessing collectability of lease payments, including a description of all the factors the company considers in making its determination. As part of your discussion, please clarify whether the company views the federal regulatory uncertainty of the cannabis industry, including December 17, 2024 Page 2 that cannabis remains illegal under federal law, as the single, determinative factor in its assessment of collectability of lease payments. Please contact Babette Cooper at 202-551-3396 or Jennifer Monick at 202-551-3295 if you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters.
