Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, as defined below, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2014.

Power REIT (the “Registrant” or the “Trust”, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we”, “us”, the “Company” or “Power REIT”, unless the context requires otherwise) is a Maryland-domiciled real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) that holds, develops, acquires and manages real estate assets related to transportation and energy infrastructure in the United States. Within the transportation and energy infrastructure sectors, Power REIT is focused on making new acquisitions of real estate that are or will be leased to renewable energy generation projects, such as utility-scale solar farms and wind farms, that have low or minimal technology risk.

The Trust is structured as a holding company and owns its assets through five wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiaries, with one subsidiary owning another subsidiary, that have been formed in order to hold real estate assets, obtain financing and generate lease revenue. As of June 30, 2014, the Trust’s assets consisted of approximately 112 miles of railroad infrastructure and related real estate which is owned by its subsidiary Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad (“P&WV”) and approximately 630 acres of fee simple land leased to a number of solar power generating projects with an aggregate generating capacity of approximately 105 Megawatts (“MW”). Power REIT is actively seeking to expand its portfolio of real estate related to renewable energy generation projects and is pursuing investment opportunities that qualify for REIT ownership within solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, transmission and other infrastructure projects.

P&WV is a business trust organized under the laws of Pennsylvania for the purpose of owning railroad assets that are currently leased to Norfolk Southern Railway (“NSC”) pursuant to a 99-year lease that became effective in 1964 and is subject to an unlimited number of 99-year renewal periods under the same terms and conditions, including annual rent payments, at the option of NSC (the “Railroad Lease”). P&WV’s assets consist of a railroad line of approximately 112 miles in length, extending through Connellsville, Washington and Allegheny Counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through Brooke County in the State of West Virginia and through Jefferson and Harrison Counties in the State of Ohio, to Pittsburgh Junction in Harrison County, Ohio. There are also branch lines that total approximately 20 miles in length located in Washington and Allegheny Counties in Pennsylvania and Brooke County in West Virginia. NSC pays P&WV base cash rent of $915,000 per year, payable in quarterly installments. In addition, Power REIT believes NSC is responsible for additional rent, which is currently the subject of litigation. (See Note 8).

PW Salisbury Solar, LLC (“PWSS”) is a Massachusetts limited liability company that owns approximately 54 acres of land located in Salisbury, Massachusetts that is leased to a 5.7 MW operational solar farm. Pursuant to the lease agreement, PWSS’ tenant is required to pay PWSS rent of $80,800 cash for the year December 1, 2012 to November 30, 2013, with a 1.0% escalation in each corresponding year thereafter. Rent for the year December 1, 2013 to November 30, 2014 is $81,608. Rent is payable quarterly in advance and is recorded by Power REIT for accounting purposes on a straight-line basis. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 rent has been recorded in the amount of $44,747. For each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 rent has been recorded in the amount of $22,374. At the end of the 22-year lease period, which commenced on December 1, 2011 (prior to being assumed by PWSS), the tenant has certain renewal options, with terms to be mutually agreed upon.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

PW Tulare Solar, LLC (“PWTS”) is a California limited liability company that owns approximately 100 acres of land leased to a number of solar farms, with an aggregate generating capacity of approximately 20MW, located near Fresno, California. PWTS’s interest was structured to provide it with initial monthly rent payments from the seller of the land, until the solar farm tenants achieved commercial operations which has occurred. The solar farm tenants are currently obligated to pay PWTS an aggregate annual rent of $157,500 cash, payable in advance and without escalation during the 25-year term of the leases. At the end of the 25- year term, which commenced in March 2013 (prior to being assumed by PWTS), the tenants have certain renewal options, with terms to be mutually agreed upon. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, PWTS recorded rental income of $88,207 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, PWTS recorded rental income of $42,177 and $0, respectively.

PW Regulus Solar, LLC (“PWRS”) is a California limited liability company that owns approximately 447 acres of land leased to a solar project with an aggregate generating capacity of approximately 60 and 82 Megawatts (AC and DC respectively) that is under construction and is in Kern County, California near Bakersfield. PWRS’s lease was structured to provide it with initial quarterly rental payments until the solar farm achieves commercial operations which is targeted for December 2014. During the primary term of the lease which extends for 20 years from achieving commercial operations, PWRS will receive an initial annual rent of approximately $735,000 per annum which grows at 1% per annum. The lease is a “triple net” lease with all expenses to be paid by the tenant. At the end of the primary term of the lease, the tenants have certain renewal options with rent calculated as the greater of a minimum stated rental amount or a percentage of the total project-level gross revenue. The acquisition price, not including transaction and closing costs, is approximately $9.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, PWRS recorded rental income of $169,425 and $0 respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, PWRS recorded rental income of $169,425 and $0 respectively. The 2014 rent recorded is from April 14, 2014 (the date of closing on the acquisition) to June 30, 2014.

Power REIT Financo, LLC (“Financo”), a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Power REIT, entered into a $26.2 million credit facility in April 2014 with a major institutional lender (the “Credit Facility”). Financo is the owner of PWRS.

The Trust was formed as part of a reorganization and reverse triangular merger of P&WV that closed on December 2, 2011. P&WV survived the reorganization as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust.

The Trust has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a REIT, which means that it is exempt from U.S. federal income tax if a sufficient portion of its annual income is distributed to its shareholders, and if certain other requirements are met. In order for the Trust to maintain its REIT qualification, at least 90% of its ordinary taxable annual income must be distributed to shareholders.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Power REIT and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Trust considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of a money market fund reported in the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Railroad Lease is treated as a capital lease, and income to P&WV under the Railroad Lease is recognized as earned based on an implicit rate of 10% over the life of the lease, which is assumed to be perpetual for the purposes of revenue recognition and recording the leased assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Lease revenue from land that is subject to an operating lease with rent escalation provisions is recorded on a straight-line basis when the amount of escalation in lease payments is known at the time Power REIT enters into the lease agreement, or known at the time Power REIT assumes an existing lease agreement as part of a land acquisition (e.g., an annual fixed percentage escalation).

Lease revenue from land that is subject to an operating lease without rent escalation provisions is recorded on a straight-line basis.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2013 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

Other Assets

The Trust records an asset for prepaid expenses and capitalizes other expenses that are expected to provide Power REIT with benefits over a period of one year or longer. The Trust capitalized expenses related to its At-The-Market Offering of Common Stock (“ATM”), its offering of Series A Preferred Stock, the refinancing of the property owned by PWSS and related to Financo’s Credit Facility. The ATM and Preferred Stock related assets will be amortized pro-rata across the offering proceeds. The asset related to the refinancing and the Credit Facility will be amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the loans, which approximates the effective interest method. The Trust expects to amortize the shelf-offering expenses proportionately upon each draw. (See Note 6).

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Intangibles

A portion of the acquisition price of the assets acquired by PWTS have been allocated on The Trust’s consolidated balance sheet between Land and Intangibles related thereto based on a report from an independent consultant. The total amount of intangibles established was $237,471, which will be amortized over a 24.6-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amount of this intangible that was amortized was $4,827 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amount of this intangible that was amortized was $2,413 and $0, respectively.

A portion of the acquisition price of the assets acquired by PWRS have been allocated on The Trust’s consolidated balance sheet between Land and Intangibles related thereto based on an analysis generated by the management of the Trust. The total amount of intangibles established was $4,713,548 which will be amortized over a 20.7-year period which is the estimated primary term of the lease. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amount of this intangible that was amortized was $47,991 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amount of this intangible that was amortized was $47,991 and $0, respectively.

Land

Land is carried at cost. Newly acquired investments in land with in-place leases are accounted for as business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” Upon the acquisition of land, management assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, improvements and identified intangibles such as above- and below-market leases and acquired in-place leases) and acquired and assumed liabilities (if any), and allocates the acquisition price based on these assessments. Newly acquired investments in land without in-place leases are recorded at cost (including costs related to the acquisition of the land).

Net Investment in Capital Lease – Railroad

P&WV’s net investment in its leased railroad property, recognizing the lessee’s perpetual renewal options, was estimated to have a current value of $9,150,000, assuming an implicit interest rate of 10%.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trust uses derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risks. Derivatives are measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the Trust’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivatives and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of the derivative and the effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements will depend on its hedge designation and whether the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. The Trust does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes; however, the Trust has not performed the activities necessary to qualify its interest rate swap for hedge accounting. As a result, changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported in earnings.

Fair Value

Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Trust measures its financial assets and liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 1 – valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds.

Level 2 – valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 includes U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and agency debt securities, and certain corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

In determining fair value, the Trust utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk.

The carrying amounts of Power REIT’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, deposits, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their relatively short maturity. Financial assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value were as follows:

(4)

The Trust has entered into swap agreements to hedge interest rate exposure on floating rate debt associated with its Credit Facility. The interest rate swap is designated as a Level 2 instrument. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using observable market inputs such as current interest rates and considered non-performance risk of the Trust and of its counterparties. The liability indicates that interest rates have declined since the inception of the swap which represents an unrealized loss at June 30, 2014.

For financial assets that utilize Level 1 inputs, the Trust utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per common share includes, in periods in which they are dilutive, the effect of those common stock equivalents where the average market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise prices for the respective periods.

During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2014, there were 106,000 potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive. During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2013, there were 166,000 potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Power REIT is actively seeking to expand its portfolio of real estate related to renewable energy generation projects, and is pursuing investment opportunities that qualify for REIT ownership within solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, transmission and other infrastructure projects.

As of July 12, 2013, the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiary PWTS acquired approximately 100 acres of land located in Tulare County, California, near Fresno, for $1,550,000, not including transaction costs. The land is leased to over 20MW of utility scale solar projects with long-term power purchase agreements with either Southern California Edison or Pacific Gas & Electric. As of the date of the filing of this Report, all of the solar projects have achieved commercial operations. Pursuant to the lease agreements, the lessees are required to pay annual cash rent totaling $157,500. Rent is paid annually in advance, in March of each year. At the end of the 25-year terms of the leases, which began running in March 2013 (prior to being assumed by PWTS), the tenants have certain renewal options, with terms to be mutually agreed upon.

As of April 14, 2014, the Trust’s wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, PWRS acquired approximately 447 acres of land located in Kern County, California, near Bakersfield for $9,183,548 not including transaction costs. The land is leased to a solar project with an aggregate generating capacity of approximately 60 and 82 Megawatt (AC and DC respectively). PWRS’s lease was structured to provide it with initial quarterly rental payments until the solar farm achieves commercial operations which is targeted for December 2014. During the primary term of the lease which extends for 20 years from achieving commercial operations, PWRS will receive an initial annual rent of approximately $735,000 per annum which grows at 1% per annum. The lease is a “triple net” lease with all expenses to be paid by the tenant. At the end of the primary term of the lease, the tenants have certain renewal options with rent calculated as the greater of a minimum stated rental amount or a percentage of the total project-level gross revenue.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired as of April 14, 2014:

Land	$	4,470,000
Intangible assets subject to amortization:
Leases in-place		4,713,548
Total assets acquired	$	9,183,548

Financial and non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements consist of land and related assets acquired related to acquisitions made in 2014 and 2013. The fair values of these assets were determined as of the acquisition dates using widely accepted valuation techniques, discounted cash flow analysis, which considers, among other things, leasing assumptions, growth rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, and (ii) income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing market capitalization rates, and (ii) comparable sales activity. In general, multiple valuation techniques were considered when measuring fair values. However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate. All of the fair values of the assets as of the acquisition dates were derived using Level 3 inputs.

4. CAPITAL LEASES AND OPERATING LEASES

Capital Leases

The Railroad Lease provides for a base cash rental of $915,000 per annum, payable quarterly, for the current 99-year lease period. The leased properties are maintained entirely at the lessee’s expense. Under the terms of the Railroad Lease, which became effective October 16, 1964, NSC (formerly Norfolk and Western Railway Company) leased all of P&WV’s real properties, including its railroad lines, for a term of 99 years, renewable by the lessee upon the same terms for additional 99-year terms in perpetuity. Prior to 1983, the Railroad Lease was accounted for as an operating lease in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB] ASC 840, Leases , because the railroad assets as accounted for under “betterment accounting” were considered similar to land. Effective January 1, 1983, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) changed the method of accounting for railroad companies from “betterment accounting” (which was previously used by the P&WV and most railroads) to “depreciation accounting”. The leased assets, under “depreciation accounting,” are no longer similar to land; and, effective January 1, 1983, under the provisions of ASC 840, the Railroad Lease is considered a capital lease and the property deemed sold in exchange for rentals receivable under GAAP accounting.

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Railroad Lease may be terminated by the lessee at the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, or by default of NSC. In the event of termination, NSC is obligated to return to P&WV all properties covered by the Railroad Lease, together with sufficient cash and other assets to permit operation of the railroad for a period of one year. In addition, NSC would be obligated upon default or termination to the extent NSC has not previously paid indebtedness due to P&WV, to settle remaining indebtedness owed to P&WV. The existing indebtedness owed to P&WV, including the ability of P&WV to make an immediate demand for payment of such amounts, is part of the subject of litigation. (See Note 8).

P&WV has determined that the lease term is perpetual (for GAAP accounting purposes only) because it is perceived that it would be un-economic for the lessee to terminate and the Lessee has control over its actions with respect to default and has unlimited renewal options. Accordingly, as of January 1, 1983, the rentals receivable of $915,000 per annum, recognizing renewal options by the lessee in perpetuity, were estimated to have a present value of $9,150,000, assuming an implicit interest rate of 10% as of the date FASB ASC 840 was implemented. P&WV believes it is not being paid all sums it is entitled to pursuant to the Railroad Lease above and beyond the base rental amount it has received in cash. (See Note 8).

Operating Leases

PWSS’ land is subject to a lease agreement with a special purpose entity that owns a solar farm with an original 22-year initial term with two five-year extension options on economic terms to be mutually agreed to between PWSS and the lessee. The lease commenced on December 1, 2011 and has approximately twenty years left on the initial term. The initial term is due to expire December 1, 2033, with two five-year extension options at the lessee’s option at fair market rates to be mutually determined. PWSS assumed the existing lease upon its acquisition of the Salisbury land. Rent is paid quarterly in advance with a 1.0% annual escalation. Rental income in each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $44,747. Rental income in each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $22,373.

PWTS’ land is subject to lease agreements with special purpose entities that own solar farms with an original 25-year initial term (the “PWTS Leases”). The PWTS Leases include two five-year extension options on economic terms to be mutually agreed to between PWTS and the lessees. The PWTS Leases commenced in March 2013 (prior to being assumed by PWTS). PWTS assumed the existing PWTS Leases upon its acquisition of the Tulare land. Pursuant to the PWTS Leases, the lessee will pay PWTS $157,500 of annual cash rent paid annually in advance in March of each year. Rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $88,207 and $0 respectively. Rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $41,276 and $0 respectively.

PWRS’ land is subject to a lease agreement with a special purpose entity that owns a solar project. During the primary term of the lease which extends for 20 years from achieving commercial operations, PWRS will receive an initial annual rent of approximately $735,000 per annum which grows at 1% per annum. The lease is a “triple net” lease with all expenses to be paid by the tenant. At the end of the primary term of the lease, the tenants have certain renewal options with rent calculated as the greater of a minimum stated rental amount or a percentage of the total project-level gross revenue. Rental for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $169,425 and $0 respectively. Rental income in each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $169,425 and $0 respectively.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 14, 2014, Power REIT Financo, LLC (“Financo”), a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Power REIT, entered into a $26.2 million credit facility with a major institutional lender (the “Credit Facility”). As part of the closing of the acquisition by PWRS, approximately $6,941,000 was drawn on the Credit Facility including approximately $173,000 drawn to pay for bank fees. The credit facility is intended to fund additional acquisitions. The Credit Facility has a five-year term and carries an interest rate of 350 basis points over LIBOR during the first three years, and 400 basis points over LIBOR during the remainder of the term. Power REIT has entered into interest rate hedging strategies designed to minimize the risks associated with any refinancing and with interest rate swings.

On July 12, 2013, PWTS borrowed $1,650,000 from Hudson Bay Partners, L.P. (“HBP”), a wholly-owned affiliate of David H. Lesser, our Chairman and CEO, in the form of an A note and a B Note (the “Notes”), to fund the acquisition of property located near Fresno, California. The A note has a principal balance of $1,155,000 and carries an interest rate of 5.0% during the first six months, stepped up to 8.5% thereafter. The B note has a principal balance of $495,000 and carries an interest rate of 9.5% during the first six months, stepped up to 13.5% thereafter. Both notes have an eighteen-month maturity and require interest-only payments at six-month intervals or upon a prepayment. In addition to a first lien mortgage on PWTS’s property, the notes are also secured by a parent guarantee from the Trust.

On July 5, 2013, PWSS borrowed $750,000 from a regional bank (the “PWSS Term Loan”) to refinance a bridge loan that had been extended by HBP in connection with PWSS’ acquisition of leased property in December 2012. The PWSS Term Loan carries a fixed interest rate of 5.0%, a term of 10-years and amortizes based on a twenty-year principal amortization schedule. In addition to being secured by PWSS’ real estate assets, the term loan is secured by a parent guarantee from the Trust. The balance of the PWSS Term Loan as of June 30, 2014 is approximately $730,000.

On December 31, 2012, as part of the Salisbury land acquisition, PWSS assumed existing municipal financing (“Municipal Debt”). The Municipal Debt has approximately 18 years remaining. The Municipal Debt has a simple interest rate of 5.0% that is paid annually, with the next payment due February 1, 2015. The balance of the Municipal Debt as of June 30, 2014 is approximately $109,000.

6. SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT, COMMON STOCK OFFERING AND PREFERRED STOCK OFFERING

In May 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective The Trust’s $100 million shelf registration statement on Form S-3. Under the registration statement, the Trust may from time to time publicly issue any combination of common or preferred equity or equity-linked securities (warrants, options or units) in any amounts up to an aggregate of $100 million.

On March 28, 2013, the Trust entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”) as its agent, and filed a prospectus supplement to its shelf registration statement, pursuant to which the Trust may, through MLV, offer and sell, from time to time, up to $5.4 million of its common shares through “at-the-market” offerings. Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Trust pays MLV fees equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of any such sales. The offering is being conducted as a “takedown” from the Trust’s shelf registration statement.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Trust sold 22,105 common shares, receiving net cash proceeds after fees and expenses of approximately $219,000. During the year ended December 31, 2013, in connection with these sales, the Trust amortized approximately $3,000 to additional paid in capital of previously capitalized expenses related to its shelf registration statement and the March 28, 2013 prospectus supplement.

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2014, Power REIT has an ongoing offering up to 175,000 shares of its 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, Liquidation Preference $25 per Share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The offering of Series A Preferred Stock is being made on a direct and continuous basis pursuant to a public offering prospectus supplement dated January 23, 2014 and an accompanying prospectus pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Trust at par ($25 per share) on or after February 28, 2019. The Series A Preferred Stock is the first issuance by Power REIT of equity securities other than its common shares. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to our common shares. As of June 30, 2014, 130,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been sold for total gross proceeds of $3,250,000.

7. LONG-TERM COMPENSATION

The Trust grants awards pursuant to its 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which was approved at the Trust’s 2012 annual shareholder meeting. The Plan provides for grants of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other equity incentive awards to employees, officers and other persons providing services to the Trust and its subsidiaries, including outside directors. Compensation may be awarded under the Plan until it is terminated or until the ten-year anniversary of the Plan.

The initial number of shares of stock available for issuance under the Plan was 200,000 shares. During the third quarter of 2012, 30,000 shares of restricted common stock, and options to acquire 166,000 shares of common stock, were granted. During the second quarter of 2013, 1,600 shares of restricted common stock were granted to the trustees in lieu of cash compensation. During the first quarter of 2014, 6,667 shares of restricted common stock that had not vested were forfeited pursuant to the terms of the grant. During the first quarter of 2014, options to acquire 40,000 shares of common stock that had not vested were forfeited pursuant to the terms of the grant. During the second quarter of 2014, options to acquire 20,000 shares of common stock were exercised. During the second quarter of 2014, 1,500 shares of restricted common stock were granted to the independent trustees in lieu of cash compensation that vest over four quarters commencing with the second quarter of 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, 40,000 shares of restricted common stock were granted to Mr. Lesser in lieu of cash compensation that vest over 12 quarterly periods commencing with the second quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, 7,567 common shares remain authorized and available for issuance. The Plan contains an “evergreen” provision that automatically adjusts the number of shares available for future issuance, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan (subject to certain adjustments) as follows: “the number of shares of Stock which shall be made available for issuance under the Plan shall be increased by the positive number of shares equal to the lesser of: (i) (A) 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Stock, calculated on a fully diluted and consolidated basis (including the OP Units of our Operating Partnership, if any), less (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan as of such date, plus (2) the aggregate number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and unvested shares of Restricted Stock or other unvested equity compensation granted under the Plan as of such date, or (ii) a lesser amount determined by the Compensation Committee. For clarity, if the amount determined in the formula in the preceding sentence is negative, the number of shares available for issuance shall neither be increased nor decreased.

Summary of Plan Activity – Options

The summary of Plan activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014, with respect to the Trust’s stock options, was as follows:

	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance at December 31, 2013		166,000		$	7.96	$	182,600
Plan Awards		-			-		-
Options Exercised		(20,000	)		7.96		(22,000	)
Options Forfeited		(40,000	)		7.96		(44,000	)
Balance as of June 30, 2014		106,000			7.96	$	116,600

Options exercisable as of June 30, 2014		35,334			7.96	$	38,867

For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the weighted average fair value of options vested, not vested and granted is $0.96 per share. The Aggregate Intrinsic Value is based on the difference between the option exercise price and the closing stock price of $9.06 at June 30, 2014.

Summary of Plan Activity – Restricted Stock

The summary of Plan activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014, with respect to the Trust’s restricted stock, was as follows:

	Number of Shares of Restricted Stock			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2013		20,400		$	8.08
Plan Awards		41,500			9.06
Restricted Stock Vested		(4,108	)		9.19
Restricted Stock Forfeited		(6,667	)		7.96
Balance as of June 30, 2014		51,125			8.80

Plan Award Assumptions

The term of each option granted during 2012 is 10 years. The Trust recognizes share-based payment expenses based on grant date fair values and market closing price. Restricted stock is valued based on the market price of common stock on the grant date.

The Trust uses historical data to estimate dividend yield and volatility and the “simplified approach” as described in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 and 110 to determine the expected term. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve on the grant date. The Trust does not have historical data of forfeiture, and as a policy, has used an estimate of the forfeiture rate in calculating unrecognized share-based compensation expense. Compensation expenses may be adjusted if the actual forfeiture rate differs from this assumption.

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Stock-based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Trust recorded $75,532 of non-cash expense related to restricted stock and options granted under the Plan compared to $57,470 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Trust recorded $53,762 of non-cash expense related to restricted stock and options granted under the Plan compared to $30,962 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $433,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, which expense will be recognized through the fourth quarter of 2017. The Trust does not currently have a policy regarding the repurchase of shares on the open market related to equity awards and does not currently intend to acquire shares on the open market.

8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously disclosed in its public filings with the SEC, the Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiary P&WV are in litigation with NSC and NSC’s sub-lessee, Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad (“WLE” and, together with NSC, the “Litigants”) concerning matters arising under the Railroad Lease. The case is pending in Federal trial court in Pittsburgh (the “Court”). The Litigants initiated the litigation against the Trust and P&WV in December 2011, seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that NSC was not in default under the Railroad Lease.

P&WV, as lessor, has asserted counterclaims, seeking determinations that NSC is in default under the Railroad Lease for, among other things, failing to reimburse P&WV for certain legal fees incurred by P&WV, failing to permit P&WV to inspect NSC’s books and records as called for under the terms of the Railroad Lease and failing to pay other amounts that P&WV believes are due and owing. P&WV also seeks declarations from the Court (a) that NSC’s obligation to repay the indebtedness owed under the Railroad Lease is not indefinite in duration, and (b) that the indebtedness owed to P&WV is due on demand with interest. If P&WV is successful with its counterclaims, it can terminate the Railroad Lease and demand from NSC payment of the indebtedness.

The indebtedness is the cumulative result of amounts received by NSC from its dispositions of P&WV property, additional rental amounts due and other sums that NSC owes to P&WV but which NSC has elected, under its interpretation of the Railroad Lease, to pay by increasing its indebtedness to P&WV rather than by providing P&WV with cash. According to records maintained by NSC pursuant to the Railroad Lease and provided by NSC to P&WV, as of December 31, 2012 the indebtedness owed to P&WV was approximately $16,600,000. NSC has not provided a more recent update of the indebtedness amount. P&WV believes that the indebtedness amount is understated. The indebtedness has not been included in P&WV’s balance sheets prepared under GAAP, because of the dispute as to when it is due. Similarly, certain additional rental amounts that NSC disputes are due on a current basis, and which have historically been treated as indebtedness, have not been included in P&WV’s income statements or balance sheets prepared under GAAP; however, these additional rent amounts have historically been recorded as taxable income on P&WV’s tax returns.

The Litigants have alleged that the Trust is a successor in interest in respect of the Railroad Lease. If that allegation were to be decided against us in a fact-finding stage of the litigation, it could lead to liability and expenses. The Trust believes that it is not a successor in interest in respect of the Railroad Lease and is not constrained by any of the Railroad Lease restrictions.

The parties have made certain supplements to their respective claims and counterclaims. In August 2013, P&WV filed a second supplement to its counterclaims following the Litigants’ disclosure of previously undisclosed dispositions of P&WV property. P&WV believes that additional amounts are owed to it as a result of these dispositions and, accordingly, asserted new counterclaims, including claims of fraud and conversion. Based on the information available at the time P&WV supplemented its claims, P&WV has estimated that the additional amounts owed to it exceed $8 million, not including potential interest and damages. P&WV also supplemented its counterclaim for additional rental amounts due in order to include the reimbursement of its legal expenses related to the litigation. In response to P&WV’s second supplement to its counterclaims, in January 2014 the Litigants amended their pleadings to add additional claims against both P&WV and the Trust. The Litigants’ new claims seek additional declarations from the Court that the Litigants have not defaulted on or violated the terms of the Railroad Lease.

POWER REIT AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

On September 13, 2013, the Trust filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all of the claims against it primarily based on the fact that the Trust is not a party to the Lease. On January 15, 2014, the Court heard oral arguments from the parties on the Trust’s motion. On October 16, 2013, the Litigants filed a motion seeking leave to supplement their claims to include: (i) nominal damages, (ii) enjoinment of Power REIT from taking actions in breach of the Lease Agreement, (iii) the withdrawal of NSC’s consent to the additional share by PWV; and (iv) the undoing of the reverse triangular merger. On June 19, 2014, the court denied the Trust’s motion but also denied Plaintiff’s motion seeking leave to supplement their claims with the exception of granting the motion to seek nominal damages.

The fact and expert discovery phases of the litigation have been completed with respect to the parties’ original claims and counterclaims, and their initial rounds of supplements thereto. Fact discovery with respect to P&WV’s August 2013 second supplement to its counterclaims, and the Litigants’ January 2014 pleading amendments made in response, was completed on May 31, 2014. At a court conference on July 14, 2014, the court established the remaining briefing schedule such that the parties have a deadline of September 8, 2014 to file motions for summary judgment and all briefing related thereto is scheduled to be completed on October 28, 2014. The court also indicated that it expected to have a final ruling on the case by February 2015. There can be no assurance that this schedule will be met.

In connection with the litigation, P&WV incurred expenses of approximately $955,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $700,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, P&WV incurred expenses of approximately $261,000 and $481,000 respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, P&WV incurred expenses of approximately $148,000 and $241,000 respectively. As of June 30, 2014, P&WV had incurred a total of approximately $1,918,000 of cumulative expenses related to the litigation, of which approximately $219,000 was payable. P&WV believes that the costs associated with the litigation are reimbursable by NSC under the Railroad Lease as additional rent, but NSC has refused to pay such amounts. There can be no assurance that P&WV will prevail in collecting its litigation expenses from NSC; accordingly, the expenses of the litigation are accrued and expensed as incurred.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Trust and its subsidiaries have hired Morrison Cohen, LLP (“Morrison Cohen”) as their legal counsel with respect to general corporate matters and the litigation with NSC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Power REIT is a Maryland-domiciled REIT that holds, develops, acquires and manages real estate assets related to transportation and energy infrastructure in the United States. Within the transportation and energy infrastructure sectors, Power REIT is focused on making new acquisitions of real estate that are or will be leased to renewable energy generation projects, such as utility-scale solar farms and wind farms, that have low or minimal technology risk.

Power REIT is structured as a holding company and owns its assets through five wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiaries, with one subsidiary owning another subsidiary, that have been formed in order to hold real estate assets, obtain financing and generate lease revenue. Power REIT was formed as part of a reorganization and reverse triangular merger of P&WV that closed on December 2, 2011. P&WV survived the reorganization as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The Company’s investment strategy, which is focused on transportation and energy infrastructure-related real estate, builds upon its subsidiary P&WV’s historical ownership of railroad real estate assets, which are currently triple-net leased to NSC.

As of June 30, 2014, the Trust’s assets consisted of approximately 112 miles of railroad infrastructure and related real estate leased to a railway company which is owned by its subsidiary Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad (“P&WV”) and approximately 630 acres of fee simple land leased to a number of solar power generating projects with an aggregate generating capacity of approximately 105 MW. Power REIT is actively seeking to expand its portfolio of real estate related to renewable energy generation projects and is pursuing investment opportunities that qualify for REIT ownership within solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, transmission and other infrastructure projects.

Revenue during the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 was approximately $462,000 and $251,000, respectively. Net loss during the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 was approximately $699,000 and $100,000 respectively. The difference between our 2014 and 2013 second quarter results was principally attributable to the following: $258,000 of additional rental income from acquired properties; offset by a $93,000 decrease of litigation expenses related to the NSC litigation; a $62,000 increase in general and administrative expense; a $361,000 increase in acquisition expenses; a $213,000 increase of unrealized interest rate swap expense; a $106,000 increase in interest expense related to loans to acquire property; and a $81,000 increase in finance expense related to loans to acquire property. The increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable in part to the change of auditor and increased costs associated with preparation of our filing of Form 10K with the SEC.

Revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $760,000 and $503,000, respectively. Net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $642,000 and $210,000 respectively. The difference between our 2014 and 2013 six months ended June 30 results, was principally attributable to the following: $23,000 of additional rental income from acquired properties; offset by a $220,000 decrease of litigation expenses related to the NSC litigation; a $23,000 increase in general and administrative expense; a $365,000 increase in acquisition expenses; a $213,000 increase of unrealized interest rate swap expense; a $144,000 increase in interest expense related to loans to acquire property; and a $81,000 increase in finance expense related to loans to acquire property. The increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable in part to the change of auditor and increased costs associated with preparation of our filing of Form 10K with the SEC.

The Trust’s cash outlays, other than acquisitions and dividend payments, are for general and administrative ("G&A") expenses, which consist principally of legal and other professional fees, consultant fees, trustees' fees, NYSE MKT listing fees, shareholder service company fees and auditing costs. The Trust expects that it will continue to incur substantial litigation expenses during the remainder of 2014 related to the NSC litigation.

To meet its working capital and longer-term capital needs, Power REIT relies on cash provided by its operating activities, proceeds received from the issuance of equity securities and proceeds received from borrowings, which are typically secured by liens on acquired assets.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company completed the sale of 21,940 shares of Preferred Stock that have been sold for total gross proceeds of $548,500.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS – NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. This report contains supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including the measure identified by us as Core FFO. Following is a definition of this measure, an explanation as to why we present it and, at the end of this section, a reconciliation of Core FFO to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Core FFO: Management believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. Management believes that alternative measures of performance, such as net income computed under GAAP, or Funds From Operations computed in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), include certain financial items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's asset portfolio and inappropriately affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include non-recurring expenses, such as those incurred in connection with litigation, one-time upfront acquisition expenses that are not capitalized under ASC-805 and certain non-cash expenses, including stock-based compensation expense amortization and certain up front financing costs. Therefore, management uses Core FFO and defines it as net income excluding such items. Management believes that, for the foregoing reasons, these adjustments to net income are appropriate. The Company believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to employ, including when comparing the Company to other REITs that disclose similarly adjusted FFO figures, and when analyzing changes in the Company's performance over time. Readers are cautioned that other REITs may use different adjustments to their GAAP financial measures than we do, and that as a result, the Company's Core FFO may not be comparable to the FFO measures used by other REITs or to other non-GAAP or GAAP financial measures used by REITs or other companies.
