Shepherd’s Finance, LLC
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Information presented throughout these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) is in thousands of dollars.
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Shepherd’s Finance, LLC and subsidiary (the “Company”) was originally formed as a Pennsylvania limited liability company on May 10, 2007. The Company is a sole member of a consolidating subsidiary, 84 REPA, LLC. The Company operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement by and among Daniel M. Wallach and the other members of the Company effective as of March 16, 2017.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company extends commercial loans to residential homebuilders (in 17 states) to:
● | construct single family homes, | |
● | develop undeveloped land into residential building lots, and | |
● | purchase and improve for sale older homes. |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying (a) interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the unaudited interim condensed consolidated information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Statements”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2017 Statements.
Accounting Standards Adopted in the Period
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (An Amendment of FASB ASC 825).” The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01 in January 2016, and it was intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with improved decision-making information. The amendments of ASU 2016-01 include: (i) requiring equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of an investee, to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; and (iii) clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
8 |
ASU 2016-01 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 added FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and superseded revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and certain cost guidance in FASB ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue should be recognized either over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer. ASU 2014-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue
On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASU 2014-09, codified at ASC Topic 606. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no uncompleted customer contracts and, as a result, no cumulative transition adjustment was made during the first quarter of 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under legacy U.S. GAAP.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through interest earned on financial instruments, including loans, which falls outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. All of the Company’s revenue that is subject to ASC Topic 606 would be included in non-interest income; however, not all non-interest income is subject to ASC Topic 606. The Company had no contract liabilities or unsatisfied performance obligations with customers as of June 30, 2018.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation.
2. Fair Value
The Company had no financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
The following tables present the balances of non-financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Secured Borrowings
Purchase and Sale Agreements
In March 2018, we entered into the Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to our Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “S.K. Funding LPSA”) with S.K. Funding, LLC (“S.K. Funding”).
The purpose of the Seventh Amendment was to allow S.K. Funding to purchase a portion of the Pennsylvania Loans for a purchase price of $649.
The timing of the Company’s principal and interest payments to S.K. Funding under the Seventh Amendment, and S.K. Funding’s obligation to fund the Pennsylvania Loans, vary depending on the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans outstanding at any time, as follows:
● | If the total principal amount exceeds $1,000, S.K. Funding must fund the amount between $1,000 and less than or equal to $3,500. | |
● | If the total principal amount is less than $4,500 then the Company will also repay S.K. Funding’s principal as principal payments are received on the Pennsylvania Loans from the underlying borrowers in the amount by which the total principal amount is less than $4,500 until S.K. Funding’s principal has been repaid in full. | |
● | The interest rate accruing to S.K. Funding under the Seventh Amendment is 10.5% calculated on a 365/366-day basis. |
The Seventh Amendment has a term of 24 months and will automatically renew for an additional six-month term unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew at least six months prior to the end of a term. S.K. Funding will have a priority position as compared to the Company in the case of a default by any of the borrowers.

Overview
We had $41,819 and $30,043 in loan assets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, we have 245 construction loans in 17 states with 68 borrowers and seven development loans in three states with 4 borrowers. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had four and three development loans, respectively, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Loans”).
We have various sources of capital, detailed below:

Total | $ | 47,122 | $ | 33,617 |
Our net income increased for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 due primarily to increased loan originations which was partially offset by payroll cost increases due to an increase the number of employees, and an increase in our loan loss reserve.
Cash provided by operations was $425 as of June 30, 2018 as compared to $742 for the same period of 2017. Our decrease in operating cash flow in 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 was due to a decrease in customer interest escrow of $408 offset by an increase in net loan origination fee deferred of $97.
Critical Accounting Estimates
To assist in evaluating our consolidated financial statements, we describe below the critical accounting estimates that we use. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC, for more information on our critical accounting estimates. No material changes to our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2017 unless listed below.
Loan Losses
Fair value of collateral has the potential to impact the calculation of the loan loss provision (the amount we have expensed over time in anticipation of loan losses we have not yet realized). Specifically, relevant to the allowance for loan loss reserve is the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the outstanding loan balances. Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Due to a rapidly changing economic market, an erratic housing market, the various methods that could be used to develop fair value estimates, and the various assumptions that could be used, determining the collateral’s fair value requires significant judgment.

* Increases in the fair value of the real estate collateral do not impact the loan loss provision, as the value generally is not “written up.”
** Assumes the loans were nonperforming and a book amount of the loans outstanding of $42,153.
Foreclosed Assets
The fair value of real estate will impact our foreclosed asset value, which is recorded at 100% of fair value (after selling costs are deducted).

There are three main components that can impact our interest spread:
● Difference between the interest rate received (on our loan assets) and the interest rate paid (on our borrowings). The loans we have originated have interest rates which are based on our cost of funds, with a minimum cost of funds of 5%. For most loans, the margin is fixed at 2%; however, for our development loans the margin is fixed at 7%. Future loans are anticipated to be originated at an increase of 1% to approximately 3% margin. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity). For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the difference between interest income and interest expense was 4% compared to 3% for the same period of 2017. The increase relates to an increase in default interest rate for the classified accruing loan during the first quarter of 2018.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 the difference between interest income and interest expense was 3%. We currently anticipate that the difference between our interest income and interest expense will continue to be 3% for the remainder of 2018.
● Fee income. Our construction loans have a 5% fee on the amount we commit to lend, which is amortized over the expected life of each of those loans; however, we do not recognize a loan fee on our development loans. When loans terminate quicker than their expected life, the remaining unrecognized fee is recognized upon the termination of the loan. When loans exceed their expected life, no additional fee income is recognized. In 2018 our fee income decreased 1% due to an increase in loans that exceeded their expected life. We currently anticipate that fee income will continue at the same 6% rate for the remainder of 2018.
22 |
● Amount of nonperforming assets. Generally, we can have three types of nonperforming assets that negatively affect interest spread: loans not paying interest, foreclosed assets, and cash. All of our loans were paying interest in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017. One loan was not paying interest in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Foreclosed assets do not provide a monthly interest return. In April 2018, we recorded $3,897 from Loan receivables, net to Foreclosed assets on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, which resulted in a negative impact on our interest spread.
The amount of nonperforming assets is expected to rise over the next twelve months, due to expected development costs related to foreclosed assets, anticipated foreclosure of assets, and idle cash increases related to anticipated large borrowing inflows.
Non-Interest Income
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not recognize non-interest income compared to the same period of 2017. In the first six months of 2017, we sold a foreclosed asset and recognized a gain of $77. We do not anticipate Non-interest income for 2018.

Legal and accounting expenses increased due to additional work performed related to the growth of the Company. Salaries and related expenses increased due to our hiring of 11 new employees, which was partially offset by a reduction in our CEO’s salary.
Impairment Loss on Foreclosed Assets
We owned five foreclosed assets as of June 30, 2018, compared four as of December 31, 2017. Three of the foreclosed assets are lots under construction and the remaining two have completed homes on the lots. We do not anticipate losses on the sale of foreclosed assets in the future; however, this may be subject to change based on the final selling price of the foreclosed assets.
Loan Loss Provision
Our loan loss provision increased $19 and $59 for the quarter and six month ended June 30, 2018 compared to $15 and $26 for the same periods of 2017 due to an increase in loan balances and qualitative reserve percentage as a result of the change in housing values.

Secured Borrowings
Purchase and Sale Agreements
In March 2018, we entered into the Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to our Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “S.K. Funding LPSA”) with S.K. Funding, LLC (“S.K. Funding”).
The purpose of the Seventh Amendment was to allow S.K. Funding to purchase a portion of the Pennsylvania Loans for a purchase price of $649 under parameters different from those specified in the S.K. Funding LPSA.
The timing of the Company’s principal and interest payments to S.K. Funding under the Seventh Amendment, and S.K. Funding’s obligation to fund the Pennsylvania Loans, vary depending on the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans outstanding at any time, as follows:
● | If the total principal amount exceeds $1,000, S.K. Funding must fund the amount between $1,000 and less than or equal to $3,500. | |
● | If the total principal amount is less than $4,500 the Company will also repay S.K. Funding’s principal as principal payments are received on the Pennsylvania Loans from the underlying borrowers in the amount by which the total principal amount is less than $4,500 until S.K. Funding’s principal has been repaid in full. | |
● | The interest rate accruing to S.K. Funding under the Seventh Amendment is 10.5% calculated on a 365/366-day basis. |
The Seventh Amendment has a term of 24 months and will automatically renew for an additional six-month term unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew at least six months prior to the end of a term. S.K. Funding will have a priority position as compared to the Company in the case of a default by any of the borrowers.
Lines of Credit
During July 2017, we entered into a line of credit agreement (the “Shuman LOC Agreement”) with a group of lenders (collectively, “Shuman”). Pursuant to the Shuman LOC Agreement, Shuman provides us with a revolving line of credit (the “Shuman LOC”) with the following terms:
● | Principal not to exceed $1,325; | |

● | Due in July 2019 unless extended by Shuman for one or more additional 12-month periods. |
The Shuman LOC was fully borrowed as of June 30, 2018. Interest expense was $33 and $67 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
During April 2018, we entered into a Master Loan Modification Agreement (the “Swanson Modification Agreement”) with Paul Swanson which modified the Line of Credit Agreement between us and Mr. Swanson dated October 23, 2017. Pursuant to the Swanson Modification Agreement, Mr. Swanson provides us with a revolving line of credit (the “Swanson LOC”) with the following terms:

Redeemable Preferred Equity and Members’ Capital
We strive to maintain a reasonable (about 15%) balance between (1) redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital and (2) total assets. The ratio of redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital to assets was 10% as of June 30, 2018 and 13% as of December 31, 2017. We anticipate this ratio dropping until more preferred equity is added. We are currently exploring potential increases in preferred equity.
In January 2018, our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Operations purchased 2% and 1% of our Class A common units; respectively, from our CEO. In March 2018, our Executive Vice President of Sales purchased 14.3% of our Class A common units from our CEO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity management objective is to meet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and customers. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had 252 and 171, respectively, in combined loans outstanding, which totaled $44,803 and $32,375, respectively, in gross loan receivables outstanding. Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $21,676 and $19,312 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We anticipate a significant increase in our gross loans receivables over the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018 by directly increasing originations through new and existing customers.
To fund our combined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt and equity, which are described in the following table:
Source of Liquidity | As of June 30, 2018 | As
of December 31, 2017 | ||||||
Secured debt | $ | 21,058 | $ | 11,644 | ||||
Unsecured debt | 20,769 | 16,904 | ||||||
Equity | 5,038 | 4,783 |
Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $9,414 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which consisted of an increase in loan purchase and sale agreements, balances on lines of credits with affiliates and mortgage payable of $6,887, $1,877 and $650, respectively. We anticipate increasing our secured debt by roughly half of the increase in loan asset balances over the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018 through our existing loan purchase and sale agreements.
The other half of the loan asset growth will come from a combination of increases in our unsecured debt and equity. Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $3,865 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which consisted of an increase in our Notes Program of $1,187 and an increase in the balances of unsecured lines of credit of $2,678. We anticipate an increase in our unsecured debt through increased sales in the Notes Program to cover most of the increase in loan assets not covered by increases in our secured debt during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018.
Equity increased $255 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which consisted of an increase in Series C cumulative preferred units (“Series C Units”), Series B cumulative preferred units, and Class A common equity of $68, $40 and $147, respectively. We anticipate an increase in our equity during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the issuance of additional Series C Units. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we increased the amount of Series C Units outstanding by $1,097. If we do are not able to increase our equity through the issuance of additional Series C Units, we will look to our Notes Program for the increase. If we anticipate not being able to fund our projected increases in loan balances through the means listed above, we may reduce new loan originations to reduce need for additional funds.
Cash provided by operations was $425 as of June 30, 2018 as compared to $742 for the same period of 2017. Our decrease in operating cash flow in 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 was due to a decrease in customer interest escrow of $408 offset by an increase in net loan origination fee deferred of $97.

The total amount maturing through year ended December 31, 2019 is $33,284, which consists of secured borrowings of $20,429 and unsecured borrowings of $12,855.
Secured borrowings maturing through year ended December 30, 2019 significantly consists of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance, Inc. and S. K. Funding) and two lenders (Stephen Shuman and Paul Swanson).
The purchasers under the loan purchase and sale agreements have an unconditional obligation to fund loans once agreed to purchase; however, Builder Finance, Inc. has put options that could require us to (a) buy back loans after 12 months and (b) buy back 10% of the portfolio commitment value in any 12 months.
Our lenders have lines of credit with the Company described as follows:
Stephen Shuman’s line of credit (“Shuman LOC”) is due July 2019 and unless terminated will automatically renew 60 days prior for an additional 12 months. If the Shuman LOC does not renew, $1,325 will be due in July 2019, which we would expect to fund through loan payoffs.
Paul Swanson’s line of credit (“Swanson LOC”) is due on December 31, 2018 and unless terminated will automatically renew 120 days prior for an additional 15 months. If the Swanson LOC does not renew, $4,000 will be due on December 31, 2018 and $3,000 will be due 120 days after, and which we would expect to fund through loan payoffs used as collateral for the line.
Unsecured borrowings due on December 31, 2018 consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $8,805 and $4,050, respectively. To the extent that Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program are not renewed upon maturity, we will be required to fund the maturities, which we anticipate funding through the issuance of new Notes in our Notes Program. Our other unsecured debt has historically renewed. For more information on other unsecured borrowings, see Note 5 – Borrowings. If other unsecured borrowings are not renewed in the future, we anticipate funding such maturities through investments in our Notes Program.
To help manage our liquidity, we:
● | do not offer demand deposits (for instance, a checking account). We manage the duration of our Notes through the interest rates we offer at any time; | |
● | fund loan requests with varying sources of capital, not just from proceeds of our Notes Program; and | |
● | match our interest rate to our borrower to our cost of funds. |

Source of Liquidity | Six Months Ended | Six Months Ended | Comment and Future Outlook | |||||||

Inflation, Interest Rates, and Housing Starts
Since we are in the housing industry, we are affected by factors that impact that industry. Housing starts impact our customers’ ability to sell their homes. Faster sales generally mean higher effective interest rates for us, as the recognition of fees we charge is spread over a shorter period. Slower sales generally mean lower effective interest rates for us. Slower sales also are likely to increase the default rate we experience.
Housing inflation generally has a positive impact on our operations. When we lend initially, we are lending a percentage of a home’s expected value, based on historical sales. If those estimates prove to be low (in an inflationary market), the percentage we loaned of the value actually decreases, reducing potential losses on defaulted loans. The opposite is true in a deflationary housing price market. It is our opinion that values are average in many of the housing markets in the U.S. today, and our lending against these values is safer than loans made by financial institutions in 2006 to 2008.
Interest rates have several impacts on our business. First, rates affect housing (starts, home size, etc.). High long term interest rates may decrease housing starts, having the effects listed above. Higher interest rates will also affect our investors. We believe that there will be a spread between the rate our Notes yield to our investors and the rates the same investors could get on deposits at FDIC insured institutions. We also believe that the spread may need to widen if these rates rise. For instance, if we pay 7% above average CD rates when CDs are paying 0.5%, when CDs are paying 3%, we may have to have a larger than 7% difference. This may cause our lending rates, which are based on our cost of funds, to be uncompetitive. High interest rates may also increase builder defaults, as interest payments may become a higher portion of operating costs for the builder. Higher short term rates may increase the rates builders are charged by banks faster than our rates to the builder will grow, which might be a benefit for us. Below is a chart showing three year U.S. treasury rates, which are being used by us here to approximate CD rates. Short term interest rates have risen slightly but are generally low historically.
36 |
Housing prices are also generally correlated with housing starts, so that increases in housing starts usually coincide with increases in housing values, and the reverse is generally true. Below is a graph showing single family housing starts from 2000 through today.

To date, changes in housing starts, CD rates, and inflation have not had a material impact on our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During 2018, we hired a Vice President of Administrative Operations and Product Development to further implement segregation of duties. In addition, we placed into service an internally developed proprietary software system to assist in the management of our Notes Program, which replaced an electronic spreadsheet system. The development of the proprietary software system was designed in part to enhance the overall system of internal controls over financial reporting through further automation of various business processes. Except for the above-mentioned items there has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
None.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) | Reinvestments in Partial Series C Cumulative Preferred Units
Investors in the Series C cumulative preferred units (“Series C Preferred Units”) may elect to reinvest their distributions in additional Series C Preferred Units (the “Series C Reinvestment Program”). Pursuant to the Series C Reinvestment Program, on January 31, 2018, we issued approximately 0.0474022 of a Series C Preferred Unit to Margaret Rauscher IRA LLC in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $4,740.22, and approximately 0.0601630 of a Series C Preferred Unit to an IRA owned by William Myrick in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $6,016.30. On February 28, 2018, we issued approximately 0.0478762 of a Series C Preferred Unit to Margaret Rauscher IRA LLC in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $4,787.62, and approximately 0.0607647 of a Series C Preferred Unit to an IRA owned by William Myrick in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $6,076.47. On March 31, 2018, we issued approximately 0.0483550 of a Series C Preferred Unit to Margaret Rauscher IRA LLC in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $4,835.50, and approximately 0.0613723 of a Series C Preferred Unit to an IRA owned by William Myrick in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $6,137.23. On April 30, 2018, we issued approximately 0.0488386 of a Series C Preferred Unit to Margaret Rauscher IRA LLC in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $4,883.86, and approximately 0.06198.60 of a Series C Preferred Unit to an IRA owned by William Myrick in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $6,198.60.

On June 30, 2018, we issued approximately 0.0498202 of a Series C Preferred Unit to Margaret Rauscher IRA LLC in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $4,982.02, and approximately 0.0632320 of a Series C Preferred Unit to an IRA owned by William Myrick in exchange for distribution proceeds of approximately $6,323.20. The proceeds received from the sales of the partial Series C Preferred Units in those transactions were used for the funding of construction loans.
The transactions in Series C Preferred Units described above were effected in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The transactions described above did not involve any public offering, were made without general solicitation or advertising, and the buyer represented to us that it is an “accredited investor’’ within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, with access to all relevant information necessary to evaluate the investment in the Series C Preferred Units. | |
(b) | We registered up to $70,000,000 in Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes in our public offering (SEC File No. 333-203707, effective September 29, 2015).
