NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005
(Unaudited)
NOTE A ORGANIZATION
We were organized in December 2000 as a Nevada limited liability company for the purpose of investing in mortgage loans. We invest in loans secured by real estate through deeds of trust and mortgages. We commenced our business operations in June 2001. We will continue our operations until December 2020 unless dissolved prior thereto or extended by vote of the members under the provisions of our operating agreement. During June 2004 we discontinued the offering of our Units. Our manager is Vestin Mortgage, Inc., a licensed mortgage broker in the State of Nevada (Vestin Mortgage, or Manager). Vestin Mortgage is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vestin Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Vestin Group). Vestin Groups common stock currently trades in the pink sheets published by Pink Sheets, LLC. On April 5, 2005, Vestin Groups majority shareholder, Michael V. Shustek commenced a tender offer to acquire any and all of the outstanding shares of Vestin Group common stock which he does not currently own. As a result, Vestin Group may become a privately held company in the near future. Through its subsidiaries, Vestin Group is engaged in asset management, real estate lending and other financial services. In this quarterly report, from time to time, we will refer to our company, Vestin Fund II, LLC, as the Company.
We invest in mortgage loans throughout the areas in which Vestin Mortgage and its correspondents have experience, primarily California, Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, New York, and Texas. The loans we invest in are selected for us by Vestin Mortgage from among loans originated by Vestin Mortgage or non-affiliated mortgage brokers. When Vestin Mortgage or a non-affiliated mortgage broker originates a loan for us, that entity identifies the borrower, processes the loan application, makes or invests in the loan, and brokers or sells the loan to us. We believe that our loans are attractive to borrowers because of the expediency of Vestin Mortgages loan approval process, which takes about ten to twenty days.
Vestin Mortgage, Inc. is also the manager of Vestin Fund I, LLC, (Fund I), Vestin Fund III, LLC (Fund III) and inVestin Nevada, Inc., entities in a business similar to that of the Company.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.
The results of operations for the interim periods shown in
this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. In the
opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make
the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operation. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial statements to conform with current year presentation.
8
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
2. INVESTMENTS IN MORTGAGE LOANS AND LOCAL AGENCY BONDS
Investments in mortgage loans and local agency bonds are secured by trust deeds and mortgages. Generally, all of our mortgage loans require interest only payments with a balloon payment of the principal at maturity. We have both the intent and ability to hold mortgage loans until maturity and therefore, mortgage loans are classified and accounted for as held for investment and are carried at amortized cost. Loans sold to or purchased from affiliates are accounted for at the principal balance and no gain or loss is recognized by us or any affiliate. Loan to value ratios are based on appraisals obtained at the time of loan origination and may not reflect subsequent changes in value estimates. Such appraisals are generally dated within 12 months of the date of loan origination and may be commissioned by the borrower. The appraisals may be for the current estimate of the as-if developed value of the property, which approximates the post-construction value of the collateralized property assuming that such property is developed. As-if developed values on raw land loans or acquisition and development loans often dramatically exceed the immediate sales value and may include anticipated zoning changes and timely successful development by the purchaser. As most of the appraisals will be prepared on an as-if developed basis, if a loan goes into default prior to any development of a project, the market value of the property may be substantially less than the appraised value. As a result, there may be less security than anticipated at the time the loan was originally made. If there is less security and a default occurs, we may not recover the full amount of the loan.
3. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
We maintain an allowance for loan losses on our investments in mortgage loans for estimated credit impairment inherent to our loan portfolio. The Managers estimate of losses is based on a number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan. Changes to the allowance are provided through an adjustment to earnings and are based on an assessment of certain factors which may indicate estimated losses on the loans. Actual losses on loans are recorded as a charge-off or a reduction to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are added back to the allowance or included in income when the asset is disposed.
4. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE
Real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is carried at the lower of cost or the propertys estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. We seek to sell properties acquired through foreclosure as quickly as circumstances permit. The carrying values of real estate held for sale are assessed on a regular basis from updated appraisals, comparable sales values or purchase offers.
5. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE SELLER FINANCED
Seller financed real estate held for sale includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and resold to independent third parties where we have provided the financing and the borrower has not met certain criteria in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 66 (FAS 66). FAS 66 requires the borrower to have a certain percentage equity ownership (typically 20%) to allow us to record the sale of a property. In addition, the borrower must maintain a minimum commitment in the property on a continuing basis. Therefore, until the borrower meets these requirements, the real estate is retained as real estate held for sale.
6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
9
Investments in marketable securities consist of bonds secured by real estate. Fair value is determined by market quotes for securities which are actively traded. When securities are not actively traded, fair value is estimated based on market quotes of similar securities. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
The appropriate classification of investments in marketable securities is determined at the time of purchase and such determination is reevaluated at each balance sheet date. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. Debt securities for which the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2005 we did not have any debt securities classified as Marketable Securities.
7. SECURED BORROWINGS
Loans in which third party investors participate through inter-creditor agreements (Inter-creditor Agreements) are accounted for as secured borrowings in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 140). The Inter-Creditor Agreements generally provide us additional funding sources for mortgage loans whereby a third party investor (the Investor) may participate in certain mortgage loans with us and/or Fund I and/or Fund III (collectively, the Lead Lenders). In the event of borrower non-performance, the Inter-creditor Agreements generally provide that the Lead Lenders must repay the Investors loan amount either by (i) continuing to remit to the Investor the interest due on the participated loan amount; (ii) substituting an alternative loan acceptable to the Investor; or (iii) repurchasing the participation from the Investor for the outstanding balance plus accrued interest.
Additionally, an Investor may participate in certain loans with the Lead Lenders through participation agreements. In the event of borrower non-performance, the participation agreement may allow the Investor to be repaid up to the amount of the Investors investment prior to the Lead Lenders being repaid. Mortgage loan financing under the participation agreements are also accounted for as a secured borrowing in accordance with SFAS No. 140.
