CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

Ÿour lack of significant revenues and history of losses,
Ÿour ability to continue as a going concern,
Ÿour ability to raise additional working capital as necessary,
Ÿour ability to satisfy our obligations as they become due,
Ÿthe failure to successfully commercialize our product or sustain market acceptance,
Ÿthe reliance on third party agreements and relationships for development of our business,
Ÿthe control exercised by our management,
Ÿthe impact of government regulation on our business,
Ÿour ability to effectively compete,
Ÿthe possible inability to effectively protect our intellectual property,
Ÿthe lack of a public market for our securities and the impact of the penny stock rules on trading in our common stock should a public market ever be established.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements including those made in this report, in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other sections of this report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors 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. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

ALPHA INVESTMENT INC

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Alpha Investment Inc, formerly GoGo Baby, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 22, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.

 

On March 30, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing its name from “Gogo Baby, Inc.” to “Alpha Investment Inc.” to better reflect the new business focus.   The name change and a corresponding change in the Company’s OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.

 

On March 11, 2019, the Company, through a newly formed LLC or Special Purpose Vehicle “SPV” called Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC executed an operating agreement with Alameda Partners LLC. Alameda Partners is a Utah Limited Liability Company which made a capital contribution of $1,000,000, which was paid to the Company, for 10% ownership of the SPV, and will be the managing member.  The capital shall be used to implement the strategy of acquiring commercial real estate performing notes and support other related growth initiatives and assets acquisitions for the Company of which is positioning for its up-listing to the NYSE. The Members of Alameda Partners LLC have decades of experiences in the commercial real estate industry as property developers, owners, and managers and currently holds over $50 million in commercial real estate assets. They have been appointed as the Managing Members of the SPV, while ALPC controls and holds 90% ownership.  In exchange for its 90% interest in the SPV, the Company is required to contribute 4,015,667 shares of common stock for the purchase of performing notes for the SPV. The special purpose vehicle was organized to acquire the membership interests, develop, own, hold, sell, lease, transfer, exchange, re-lend, manage and operate the underlying assets and conduct activities related thereto the ownership of commercial real estate mortgage notes and REO’s. The initial $1,000,000 was recorded as additional paid in capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Alameda Partners is entitled to monthly distributions in cash and stock equal to $10,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has recorded $90,000 of distributions as reductions to non-controlling interest, which has been accrued and included in Distributions Payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet totaling $190,000 as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC has not completed any transactions.

 

On June 2, 2020, the Company acquired a 19% membership interest in Legacy Sand Group, LLC (“Legacy”), which owns real property and mining rights comprised of approximately 1,200 acres that encompass an asset of 110 million tons of Tier 1 Northern White Fracking Sand in Wisconsin. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 3,382 shares of 2020 Convertible Preferred Stock, which is convertible into 3,804,750 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recorded its interest in Legacy at the estimated fair value of the preferred stock of $33,323,000. The Company accounted for its investment in Legacy using the cost method and does not consolidate Legacy, or use the equity method because it does not hold a controlling interest and exert significant influence over the management of Legacy.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC, which is controlled by the Company through its 90% ownership interest, and Paris Med CP-LLC (“Paris Med”), variable interest entity for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 periods presented. The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations and loss contingences. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash Held in Escrow

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $2,500,000 of restricted cash held in escrow from the sale of commons stock to an investor that has the right to require the Company to repurchase the common stock for $2,500,000 through June 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the investor exercised its right to require the Company to acquire the common stock, resulting in the release of the escrowed cash to the investor in exchange for the return of the common stock.

 

Loans Receivable, net and Allowance for Losses

 

The Company records its investments in loans receivable at the lower of cost or fair value. Costs are the gross loan receivables less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.

 

When a loan receivable is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is charged to bad debt of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, since all loans receivable are considered performing according to their payment terms, no loans are on non-accrual status.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on its investments in real estate loans receivable for estimated credit impairment.  Management’s 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 borrower’s ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan.  Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge 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 first as a reduction to the allowance for loan losses.  Generally, subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recognized as income.

 

Estimating allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect loan collections or taking possession of the property on an individual loan receivable basis.  Management determined that no allowance for loan losses was necessary as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment and fixtures will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated asset lives, 5 years.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-25, Income Taxes – Overall – Recognition (“ASC Topic 740-10-25”) with respect to the accounting for uncertainty of income tax positions. ASC Topic 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30, 2020, tax years since 2013 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.

 

Revenue Recognition and Investment Income

 

Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans. The Company records interest income in accordance with ASC subtopic 835-30 "Imputation of Interest", using the effective interest method. The following is a summary of the components of the Company’s net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   2020   2019   2020   2019 
Interest Income  $11,393   $13,112   $33,612   $78,112 
Accretion of Loan Origination Fees   23,919    23,919    71,758    103,187 
Amortization of Loan Issuance Costs   (25,785)   (25,785)   (77,356)   (103,141)
Net Investment Income  $9,527   $11,246   $28,015   $78,158 

 

When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is charged to bad debt of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.

 

The Company suspends recognizing interest income when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all payments according to the contractual terms of the underlying agreements. Management considers all information available in assessing collectability. Collectability is measured on a receivable-by-receivable basis by either the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective rate, the observable market price for the receivable or the fair value of the collateral if the receivable is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous receivables, such as pre-settlement funding transactions, are collectively assessed for collectability. Receivables, including those arising from the sale of loan origination services, is charged off when in the Company's judgment, the receivable or portion of the receivable is considered uncollectible.

 

Payments received on past due receivables and finance receivables the Company has suspended recognizing interest income on are applied first to principal and then to accrued interest. Interest income on past due receivables and finance receivables, if received, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. Additionally, the Company generally does not resume recognition of interest income once it has been suspended.

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company holds a 10% interest in Paris Med, of which the remaining 90% interest is held by Omega financial Corp, Inc.  Through December 31, 2019, the Company has provided 100% of the funding to Paris Med, which has provided a construction loan to a third party.  This loan receivable is the sole asset of Paris Med.  The Company determined that Paris Med was a variable interest entity based on various qualitative and quantitative factors including but not limited to: 1) financing of Paris Med’s sole asset was received by the Company, which is disproportionate to the Company’s ownership interest and 2) the Company and Omega, a related party, organized the entity for the purpose of facilitating the Company’s activities.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary because it has provided substantially all of its financial support and is the only party at risk.  As of September 30, 2020, Paris Med has total assets of $558,000, consisting solely of advances made pursuant to its third party construction loan agreement, and had no liabilities.  See Note 3.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Paris Med had no activity other than accruing interest on outstanding principal.  The Company will evaluate its investments in Paris Med each reporting period to determine if it is still the primary beneficiary, and if no longer considered the primary beneficiary, deconsolidate Paris Med in the period in which circumstances change or events occur causing a change in its assessment.  The Company has attributed 90% of interest earned on Paris Med’s sole asset to non-controlling interests.

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s loans receivable approximate fair value because their terms approximate market rates.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. 3,971,417 shares underlying convertible preferred stock and 350,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, because their impact was anti-dilutive. 350,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2020.

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825- 10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The provisions of the update require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment. The update also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. It also eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The update requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by category and form on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, the update clarifies 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. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), Conforming Amendments Related to Leases. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. The ASU requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses (“ECL”), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (ex. loans and held to maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (ex. commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable). The ECL should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating the ECL. The ASU also amends the current available for sale security impairment model for debt securities whereby credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments will be applied through a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently planning for the implementation of this accounting standard. It is too early to assess the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU clarify the proper classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments, including clarification on debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, among others. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Advisory Agreement

 

In June 2019, the Company entered into an advisory agreement, pursuant to which it agreed to compensate a third-party advisor a percentage of future capital raises facilitated by the advisor. Compensation includes non-refundable cash compensation based on a percentage of capital raised. The advisor may elect to receive certain percentage-based fees in the form of equity. Upon the closing of a transaction, the advisor will receive five-year warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 8% of the number of shares issued in the transaction at a strike price of the transaction value as defined the agreement. As of the date of this report, no amounts have been earned and no equity instruments have been issued as transaction-based fees pursuant to this agreement.

 

NOTE 6 – GOING CONCERN

 

Future issuances of the Company’s equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Company’s present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,635,125 as of September 30, 2020 and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Securing additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Loans receivable

 

The Company has extended lines of credit and loans to related parties. See Note 3.

 

Management Fee

 

The Company pays its parent company, Omega Commercial Finance Corp (“Omega”) management fees pursuant to a corporate governance management agreement executed on June 1, 2017. Omega is to provide services related to facilitating the introduction of potential investors for compensation of no less than $150,000 per year, not to exceed $300,000 per year. The agreement remains in effect until cancelled by Omega. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, no amounts have been paid and $112,500 has been accrued.

 

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s Incentive Plan provides for equity incentives to be granted to its employees, executive officers or directors or to key advisers or consultants.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”  In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  See “Forward-Looking Statements.”  Our results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

 

Until December 31, 2020, we will be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public disclosure requirements for this report. Business Overview

 

General 

 

We intend to provide capital directly to borrowers seeking financing for commercial real estate properties either for refinancing or acquisitions. These loans will encompass originating performing commercial first mortgage loans, subordinate financings, and other commercial real estate-related debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to operate our business so that we do not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, we do not plan to primarily engage in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and we do not plan to acquire investment securities (such as commercial mortgage-backed securities) having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the Company’s total assets.

 

We expect to offer financing across a broad-spectrum of asset backed and commercial real asset type collateral of any property type such as office, retail, industrial, multi-family, and hospitality. The Company will coordinate its lending initiatives with outside commercial real estate loan brokers, which have access to commercial real estate owners seeking financing or refinancing opportunities, and with loan origination firms that have borrowers seeking loans. We believe that this will enable ALPC to broaden its access to new borrowers and to develop and implement financing solutions for these other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners. In the event the Company uses third party loan origination services and underwriters, the Company will cover these costs in accordance with industry standard practices.

 

The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through public or private offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully raise such capital or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be unable to honor funding commitments or be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives.

 

Investment Strategy

 

To identify attractive lending opportunities, the Company expects to continue to deploy its capital through the origination of commercial mortgage loans, subordinate financings and other commercial real-estate related debt investments at attractive risk-adjusted yields. The Company targets lending opportunities that are secured by commercial real estate. The Company’s underwriting includes a focus on stressed in-place cash flows, debt yields, debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios, property quality and market and sub-market dynamics.

 

Results of Operations

 

General

 

We have recognized income from related parties of approximately $18,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $67,000 for the same period in 2019, resulting from the amortization of loan origination fees received in the form of cash and notes receivable, offset by the amortization of loan costs incurred.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $4.5 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we generated approximately $28,000 in net investment income, compared to $78,000 in 2019. Net investment income in 2020 resulted from interest income of $34,000, the amortization of loan origination fees of $72,000, offset by the amortization of loan costs of $77,000.   Net investment income in 2019 resulted from interest income of $78,000, the amortization of loan origination fees of $103,000, offset by the amortization of loan costs of $103,000.  We incurred $603,526 in operating expenses during the 2020 period, compared to $1,176,517 in 2019. In 2019, the Company recognized interest expense of $620,000 related to the Jersey Walk financing, which was rescinded upon rescission of the Jersey Walk acquisition in June 2019, resulting in a gain on deconsolidation of $317,000 in 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Omega, the principal stockholder of the Company, made an additional capital contribution to the Company of $425,000 In addition, during such period, the purchaser of 166,667 Shares in September 2017, exercised its right to cause the Company to repurchase the Shares for the original purchase price of $2.5 million, which had been held in and was released from escrow.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 periods presented. The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of the allowance for loan losses, loss contingencies, useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations and loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

 

Loans Receivable, net and Allowance for Losses

 

The Company records its investments in loans receivable at cost less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.

 

18 

 

 

When a loan receivable is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on its investments in real estate loans receivable for estimated credit impairment.  Management’s 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 borrower’s ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan.  Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge 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 first as a reduction to the allowance for loan losses.  Generally, subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recognized as income.

 

Estimating allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect loan collections or taking possession of the property on an individual loan receivable basis.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no 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.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level in that:

 

·We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
·We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transaction s, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Our president evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
