(1) real property that:
(A) is owned or leased by a business entity that had not more than the amount calculated as provided by Section 31.032(h) in gross receipts in the entity's most recent federal tax year or state franchise tax annual period, according to the applicable federal income tax return or state franchise tax report of the entity;
