PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Forward-Looking Information

This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “we believe,” “we intend,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “could” and similar expressions denoting uncertainty or an action that may, will or is expected to occur in the future. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include:

·

the timing of the development of future products;

·

projections of costs, revenue, earnings, capital structure and other financial items;

·

statements of our plans and objectives;

·

statements regarding the capabilities of our business operations;

·

statements of expected future economic performance;

·

statements regarding competition in our market; and

·

assumptions underlying statements regarding us or our business.


The ultimate correctness of these forward-looking statements depends upon a number of known and unknown risks and events. We discuss our known material risks under Item 1.A “Risk Factors contained in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11. Many factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.


The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

American Realty Funds Corporation

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)


Note 1:  Background and Basis of Presentation



American Realty Funds Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated on February 22, 2010 (Date of Inception) in the State of Tennessee.  The Company focuses on acquiring, renovating and reselling residential real estate.

The Company is a development stage company as it has not yet begun to generate revenues from its planned principal operations.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement, have been included.  The reported results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the period February 22, 2010 (date of inception) to June 30, 2010.


Note 2:  Going Concern and Operations


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred losses, has had negative operational cash flows since inception, and has had no revenues.  The future of the Company is dependent upon future profitable operations and the development of the business plan.  Management expects to raise additional funds via equity offerings.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Note 3:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted accounting principles 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 reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities from date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of balances on deposit with domestic banks.  


Inventory- Residential Properties

Pre-renovated residential properties acquisitions, materials, other direct costs, interests and other indirect costs related to acquisition and renovation of the real estate properties are capitalized. Indirect costs of renovating several real estate properties are allocated to individual real estate based on their relative sales value. Capitalized costs of residential properties which is held for sale are recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Other costs like marketing, etc. incurred in connection with renovated real estate properties and other selling and administrative costs are charged to earnings when incurred.  If the Company has a continuing obligation to complete renovations subsequent to the sale of the property, an estimate of the costs to complete are charged to cost of sales with a corresponding liability at the time of sale.   



5




Revenue Recognition

Sales of the Company’s real estate property will occur through the use of a sales contract where revenues from renovated real estate property sales will be recognized upon closing of the sale.  In accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, the Company will use the accrual method and recognize revenue on the sale of its renovated properties when the earnings process is complete and the collectability of the sales price and additional proceeds is reasonably assured, which is typically when the sale of the property closes.   

The Company anticipates selling most of its real estate properties through land contracts where the Company conveys to the purchaser real estate by a warranty deed if the purchaser pays a down payment on the delivery of the contract and pays the remaining sales amount over 30 years at a specified interest rate. During the time when payments are made, the purchaser has use of the real estate.  In the event of a default by the purchaser, the Company may void the contract and the property and all the payments made under the contract would be forfeited to the Company as rental for the use of the real estate and the Company may declare all amounts remaining unpaid under the contract due and payable.  In accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, the Company will account for these Land Contract sales under the deposit method as the Company does not transfer to the purchaser all the risk and rewards of ownership of the real estate upon the sale of the property.  For a sale under the deposit method, the Company will not initially record a profit on the sale, will not record a notes receivable, will continue to carry the property as an asset on it financial statements, and will recognize the down payment and subsequent monthly payments as a Deposit liability.

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, the Company will recognize profit on these land contracts when the earnings process is complete and the collectability of the sales price and additional proceeds is reasonably assured.  This will typically occur when the purchase price and all interest is paid in full and legal title to the property has transferred to the purchaser.


Net Loss per Share


Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As the Company is in a net loss position, there are no outstanding potentially dilutive securities that would cause diluted earnings per share to differ from basic earnings per share.


Income Taxes


The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The Company has established a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets (consisting of net operating loss carryforwards) as of March 31, 2011 as it has not determined that such assets are likely to be realized.


Note 4:  Investment in Real Estate Assets


Investment in real estate assets consist of residential properties held for sale and subject to land contracts.  As of March 31, 2011 the Company sold properties subject to land contracts with a cost basis of $484,496, which have been reclassified from the Company’s inventory of real estate and is depreciated over life of 30 years.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company has received payments that have been recorded as a deposit liability totaling $36,678.


Note 5:  Income Taxes

 

The Company has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company had net operating loss carry forwards at March 31, 2011 of $244,041 which expire in 2031.  The Company has provided a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards.


Income taxes are summarized as follows for the nine months ended March 31:

Note 6:  Shareholders’ Equity


On February 22, 2010, the Company was incorporated and authorized to issue up to 10,000,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $10 per share, 90,000,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with no par value and 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  The Company issued 8,240,000 shares of common stock to its founding shareholders.  There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding at March 31, 2011.

In May 2010, the Company recorded an expense for services performed for the Company by a non-employee in exchange for 360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recorded an expense of $144,000 based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date services were performed.  

In May 2010, the Company recorded an expense for services performed by a non-employee in exchange for warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The warrants issued were at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  The warrants were fully vested at the date of grant and the Company recognized an expense of $391,120 during the period from inception to June 30, 2010 equal to the grant date fair value of the warrants using the following assumptions: volatility of 61%; risk-free interest rate of 2.29%; and expected term of 5 years.  The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The warrants expire on May 18, 2015 and have a remaining contractual life of 4.13 years as of March 31, 2011.  There are no other warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2011.

In February 2010, the shareholders contributed $5,000 to the Company which is reflected as paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company entered into a sublease agreement with the Company’s shareholders to occupy their current facility.  The agreement is for one year beginning July 1, 2010 and requires the Company to pay rent of $500 per month.  The Company also made improvements to facilities owned by the majority shareholder totaling $4,428 that were capitalized as part of property and equipment and are being depreciated over a period of one year. 


On August 11, 2010, the Company entered into a property renovation agreement with Diversified Group Partnership Management, LLC ("DGPM"), which is owned by the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers Joel Wilson and Michael Kazee.  During August and September of 2010, the Company paid DGPM a total of $181,815 for labor and materials related to the renovations on the properties the Company owned.  These amounts have been allocated to individual properties and included in investments in real estate assets as of March 31, 2011.


In October 2010, the Company finalized a real estate sales contract to purchase seven residential real estate properties from the DGPM.  DGPM purchased seven properties for $107,500 and under the terms of the contract sold these properties to the Company for $217,404.

From October 2010 to March 31, 2011, the Company sold ten properties to third parties.  These properties were sold pursuant to a land contract which required the buyers to pay 10% down payment on delivery of the contract and pay the remaining sales amount over 30 years at an interest rate of 9.9% per year. For nine of the ten properties sold, the down payments made by the third parties were all or partially funded by a loan from Diversified Lending Services, LLC, an entity controlled by one the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers.  The land contracts contain a cross-default clause with each down payment loan.

We initially raised $598,994 in a private placement which closed on October 4, 2010.We recently acquired eleven residential real estate properties in Michigan for approximately $297,331 and as of March 31, 2011, we used $227,526 to pay for labor and materials to renovate our properties.


From October 2010 through March 31, 2011, we entered into land contracts for the sale of ten properties with a total transaction value of $553,794 in which we already received $55,379 and expect to receive $498,415 over the next thirty years.  The land contracts can be pre-paid with no prepayment penalty.


Our officers have entered into material agreements with entities they control and will continue to do so in the future, which could result in decisions adverse to our general stockholders. Our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Joel Wilson and Michael Kazee, have executed several agreements between us and companies they control. These related party agreements contained significant conflicts of interest.


Our officers intend to enter into related party agreements in the future where significant conflicts of interest may exist. The interests of our officers differ from the interests of other stockholders and their decisions may negatively impact the value of your investment. Our officers may earn a profit from related party transactions while our investors may lose their entire investment.


Plan of Operations


Our specific goal is to acquire, renovate and resell residential real estate at a profit. Our plan of operations is divided into three phases, as follows:


(i)

acquire properties we believe can be renovated and be sold for a profit;

(ii)

complete any required renovation;

(iii)

 market the property through independent real estate agents to attract buyers and

(iv)

sell property through the use of land contracts.


We began implementing parts of our business plan in February 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we had acquired eleven properties and completed all planned renovations and have begun marketing all of our properties for sale.  


From October 2010 through March 31, 2011, we hired 1 Stop Realty and Mortgage Services, LLC (“1 Stop”) to sell eleven properties we own. 1 Stop is a licensed real estate agency controlled by Michael Kazee, our co-Chief Executive Officer. They are paid a flat-fee of $2,500 for each of our properties we engage them to sell. Their fee is paid when the real estate sale transaction is completed. As of March 31, 2010, they have sold ten of our properties through land contacts and we have paid them $25,000 in total fees. They may be paid an additional $2,500 for the remaining property they are currently marketing for sale. We may engage 1 Stop or other independent real estate agents to market properties we may purchase in the future.

Investment Policies


Investment in Real Estate


Our investment objectives are to achieve sustainable long-term growth and maximize stockholder value. Our policy is to acquire assets for immediate sale, which will typically occur under a land contract agreement whereby we expect to be paid the sales price over thirty years.  We expect to pursue our objective primarily through the direct ownership of real estate. Future investment activities will not be limited to any geographic area or type of real estate. While we may diversify in terms of property locations, size and market or submarket, we do not have any limit on the amount or percentage of our assets that may be invested in any one property or any one geographic area.  We may incur debt in connection with financing of real estate. Principal and interest on our debt will have a priority over any dividends with respect to our common stock and preferred stock. While not prohibited from doing so, we have no current intention to acquire development land or to pursue ground up development.


Dispositions of Real Estate


We will dispose of properties at a time and price deemed opportunistic by our management. We may sell our properties for cash or under a land contract.


Other Investment Policies


We do not intend to: (i) invest in any securities such as bonds, preferred stocks or common stock; (ii) make loans to other persons; (iii) reacquire any of our own common shares; (iv) underwrite securities for other issuers; (v) acquire properties in exchange for securities; (vi) invest in real estate mortgages; or (vii) invest in securities of or interests in others engaged in real estate activities.


Financing Policies


We may employ leverage in our capital structure in amounts determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors has not adopted a policy which limits the total amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Our charter and bylaws do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness that we may incur nor do they restrict the form in which our indebtedness will be taken (including recourse or non-recourse debt, cross collateralized debt, etc.). Our board of directors may from time to time modify our debt policy in light of the then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our properties, general market conditions for debt and equity securities, fluctuations in the market price of our common stock, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors. To the extent that our board of directors determines to obtain additional capital, we may, without stockholder approval, issue debt or equity securities or pursue a combination of these methods.


Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred shares with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a transaction or a change in control in us that might involve a premium price for holders of common shares or otherwise might be in their best interests. Additionally, preferred shares could have distribution, voting, liquidation and other rights and preferences that are senior to those of our common shares.


Results of Operations


From inception on February 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011, we have generated no revenues and have incurred a net loss of $698,368.  Our net loss for this period is primarily attributable to $535,120 of non-cash stock-based compensation.  Operating expenses also include rent and salaries expense, which were $4,500 and $68,451, respectively, from inception on February 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011, respectively.


For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we generated a net loss of $55,955, which is primarily attributable to salaries expense of $26,451, professional fees of $10,925 and other operating expenses of $12,833.




10



The results of operations for the period February 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011 are not indicative of the results for any future interim period.  We expect to considerably increase our operating expenses in the future, particularly expenses in sales, marketing, travel and general working capital. As of May 1, 2011 we have not identified any additional specific properties we intend to acquire or lease. Although we anticipate generating operating cash flows in 2012, we do not expect to generate income due to the accounting required under land contracts (see Revenue Recognition below).


Critical Accounting Policies


The summary of critical accounting policies below should be read in conjunction with the Company’s accounting policies included in Note 3 to the financial statements of the Company. We consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical:


Investment in Real Estate Assets


Inventory of Real Estate


Pre-renovated residential properties acquisitions, materials, other direct costs, interests and other indirect costs related to acquisition and renovation of the real estate properties are capitalized. Indirect costs of renovating several real estate properties are allocated to individual real estate based on their relative sales value. Capitalized costs of residential properties which is held for sale are recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Other costs like marketing, etc. incurred in connection with renovated real estate properties and other selling and administrative costs are charged to earnings when incurred. If the Company has a continuing obligation to complete renovations subsequent to the sale of the property, an estimate of the costs to complete are charged to cost of sales with a corresponding liability at the time of sale.


Real Estate Subject to Land Contracts


Residential properties that are sold under Land Contracts are removed from our inventory of real estate and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the Land Contract.


Revenue Recognition


Sales of the Company’s real estate property will occur through the use of a sales contract where revenues from renovated real estate property sales will be recognized upon closing of the sale.  In accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, the Company will use the accrual method and recognize revenue on the sale of its renovated properties when the earnings process is complete and the collectability of the sales price and additional proceeds is reasonably assured, which is typically when the sale of the property closes.  


The Company anticipates selling most of its real estate properties through Land Contracts where the Company conveys to the purchaser real estate by a warranty deed if the purchaser pays a down payment on the delivery of the contract and pays the remaining sales amount over 30 years at a specified interest rate. During the time when payments are made, the purchaser has use of the real estate.  In the event of a default by the purchaser, the Company may void the contract and the property and all the payments made under the contract would be forfeited to the Company as rental for the use of the real estate and the Company may declare all amounts remaining unpaid under the contract due and payable.  In accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, the Company will account for these Land Contract sales under the deposit method as the Company does not transfer to the purchaser all the risk and rewards of ownership of the real estate upon the sale of the property.  For a sale under the deposit method, the Company will not initially record a profit on the sale, will not record a notes receivable, will continue to carry the property as an asset on it financial statements, and will recognize the down payment and subsequent monthly payments as a deposit liability.


In accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, the Company will recognize profit on these land contracts when the earnings process is complete and the collectability of the sales price and additional proceeds is reasonably assured.  This will typically occur when the purchase price and all interest is paid in full and legal title to the property has transferred to the purchaser.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Net cash used in our operating activities from inception on February 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was $629,960. Net loss of $698,368 was decreased by noncash expenses of $542,444 (including depreciation and share-based compensation).  Net loss was also increased by changes in assets and liabilities of $474,036 (including deposit liabilities, prepaid and other current assets, notes payable, and real estate held for sale).


Net cash used in our investing activities from inception on February 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was $4,428 which relates to the purchase of non-real estate property and equipment.  


Net cash provided by our financing activities from inception on February 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was $642,143 which relate to advances to shareholders of $38,149 and proceeds of from the issuance of common stock of $603,994.  


As of March 31, 2011, our total assets were $531,213 and our total liabilities were $90,467. As of March 31, 2011, we had $7,755 in cash after paying $297,331 for eleven residential real estate properties and renovations of $227,526.


Most of our cash came from the issuance of shares in a private placement which closed on October 4, 2010 in which we raised $598,994. In addition, on January 4, 2011 we entered into a promissory note whereby we borrowed $50,000 from Diversified Lending Services, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Kazee. Under the terms of the unsecured promissory note, we were obligated to pay one lump sum of principal and all interest accrued at the rate of 10% per annum on or before January 1, 2026. The purpose of the loan was to ensure we had sufficient working capital if needed. On February 1, 2011, we determined there was no need for the loan proceeds and since there was no interest due, we returned the check to repay the entire $50,000 in principal we borrowed. We have no agreement to borrow additional funds from Diversified Lending Services, LLC.


Over the next 12 months, we anticipate needing at least $600,000 to acquire, renovate and sell other properties and for other operating expenses. We are totally dependent on external sources of financing for the foreseeable future, for which we have no commitments.


In the future, we plan to try and raise additional capital through the issuance of additional common shares or Series A Preferred Shares. If we issue additional common shares, our then-existing shareholders may face substantial dilution. If we issue Series A Preferred Shares, we would be obligated to pay a substantial amount of interest which would reduce our cash available for working capital, property acquisitions and renovations.  In addition, holders of Series A Preferred Shares would be entitled to be paid out of any assets we have in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, before the holders of common share would be paid anything.


Currently, we do not have any arrangements for any financing, whether it be through the sale of common shares or the sale of Series A Preferred Stock or any other method of financing, and we can provide no assurances to investors that we will be able to obtain any financing when required. The only cash currently available to us is the cash in our bank account. We have no other sources of capital.


No assurance can be given that we will obtain access to capital markets in the future or that adequate financing to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business strategies will be available on acceptable terms.  Our inability to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect upon the results of our operations and financial condition. Our failure to raise additional funds if needed in the future will adversely affect our business operations, which may require us to suspend our operations and lead you to lose your entire investment.


Although we anticipate generating operating cash flows in 2012, we do not expect to generate income due to the accounting required under land contracts (see Revenue Recognition). The extent of these losses will be contingent, in part, on the amount of gross profit we generate from the purchase, renovation and sale of any real estate transactions we are able to complete. It is likely that our operating losses will increase in the future and it is very possible we will never achieve or sustain profitability.



12



We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall or other unanticipated changes in our industry. Any failure by us to accurately make predictions would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Off-balance sheet arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
