NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2016 and 2015 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION

 

Reven Housing REIT, Inc. is a Maryland corporation (Reven Housing REIT, Inc., along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are also referred to herein collectively as the “Company”) which acquires portfolios of occupied and rented single family homes throughout the United States with the objective of receiving income from rental property activity and future profits from the sale of rental property at appreciated values.

 

As of March 31, 2016 the Company owned 527 single family homes in the Houston, Jacksonville, Memphis and Atlanta metropolitan areas.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC for the offer of a minimum of 3,000,000 shares and a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public at an offering price of $5.00 per share. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on May 10, 2016. The common shares are being offered by the Company on a best-efforts basis. Unless the minimum offering is completed by June 30, 2016, or the Company elects to extend the minimum offering for up to an additional 60 days, the offering will terminate. If the minimum offering is completed by such date, the offering will continue until the earlier of (1) all shares are sold; (2) the Company’s decision to terminate the offering; or (3) December 31, 2016.

 

 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Reven Housing REIT OP, L.P., Reven Housing GP, LLC, Reven Housing REIT TRS, LLC, Reven Housing Georgia, LLC, Reven Housing Texas, LLC, Reven Housing Florida, LLC, Reven Housing Florida 2, LLC, and Reven Housing Tennessee, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to their short term nature. The Company’s short term financial instruments consist of cash, rents and other receivables, property tax and insurance reserves, escrow deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and security deposits.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable, as reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to their floating market interest rate and due to the fact that their security and payment terms are similar to other debt instruments currently being issued.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Investments in Real Estate

 

The Company accounts for its investments in real estate as business combinations under the guidance of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and these acquisitions are recorded at their estimated fair value. The purchase price is allocated to land, building and the existing leases based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition, with acquisition costs expensed as incurred. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge and published market data. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases represents the expected costs the Company would have incurred to lease the property at the date of acquisition. Each portfolio of single family homes acquired is recorded as a separate business combination.

 

Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 to 27.5 years using the straight-line method. Lease origination costs are amortized over the average remaining term of the in-place leases which is generally less than one year. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expenses as incurred.

 

The Company assesses its investments in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its fair value. Should impairment exist, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Cash

 

The Company maintains its cash at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions typically exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes that the risk is not significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.

 

 

Rents and Other Receivables

 

Rents and other receivables represent the amount of rent receivables, security deposits and net rental funds which are held by the property managers on behalf of the Company, net of any allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company has not recognized any allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

Escrow Deposits

 

Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash and earnest money on deposit with third parties for future property purchases. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had offers accepted to purchase residential properties for an aggregate amount of $14,486,000 and had corresponding earnest deposits for these purchases of $143,901. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company terminated these agreements. Approximately $57,000 of these deposits were forfeited and have been expensed as acquisition costs during the period ended March 31, 2016 and $87,000 has been refunded to the Company.

 

Deferred Stock Issuance Costs

 

Deferred stock issuance costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses in conjunction with the future raising of additional capital to be completed within one year. These costs are expected to be netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of the stock issuance upon closing of the respective stock placement.

 

Security Deposits

 

Security deposits represent amounts deposited by tenants at the inception of the lease. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $450,708 and $435,267, respectively, in resident security deposits. Security deposits are refundable, net of any outstanding charges and fees, upon expiration of the underlying lease.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Property is leased under short term rental agreements generally with a one year term, and revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Income Taxes

 

The tax benefit of uncertain tax positions is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority, having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Management believes that the Company will be able to satisfy these requirements for qualification as a REIT. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be subject to federal income tax, provided that it qualifies as a REIT and distributions to the stockholders equal or exceed REIT taxable income.

 

However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the Company’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Internal Revenue Code related to the percentage of income that is earned from specified sources, the percentage of assets that fall within specified categories, the diversity of capital stock ownership, and the percentage of earnings that is distributed. The Company believes that the current composition of our shareholders, if unchanged before the second half of 2016, would not comply with the ownership requirement for qualification as a REIT. Nevertheless, the Company intends to timely comply with this requirement as a result of the issuance of shares in our current offering, although no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, or that we will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and the Company may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state or local income taxes.

 

Incentive Compensation Plan

 

During 2012, the Company established the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated in December 2013 (“2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan allows for the grant of options and other awards representing up to 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such awards may be granted to officers, directors, employees, consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company or any related entity. Under the 2012 Plan, options may be granted at an exercise price greater than or equal to the market value at the date of the grant, for owners of 10% or more of the voting shares, at an exercise price of not less than 110% of the market value. Awards are exercisable over a period of time as determined by a committee designated by the Board of Directors, but in no event longer than ten years.

 

A total of 496,359 shares have been issued under the 2012 plan as of March 31, 2016.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. For the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculations were 263,588 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants granted in prior years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and presents deferred financing costs as a reduction to the note payable in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

The Company is currently evaluating all other recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

The note provides for monthly interest only payments at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate (current interest rate is 4.50% per annum at March 31, 2016) until November 5, 2017. Thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal, based on a 25 year amortization rate, will be made until maturity. The note has a prepayment penalty of 3% calculated on principal amounts prepaid prior to November 5, 2017. There is no prepayment penalty on amounts paid after that date.

 

Deferred loan fees

 

As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and presents deferred financing costs as a deduction to the note payable in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Costs incurred in the placement of the Company’s debt are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loans as a component of interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The amount of unamortized fees are further deducted from the remaining principal amount owed on the corresponding notes payable. Deferred loan costs and fees totaled $606,648 and accumulated amortization totaled $156,019 as of March 31, 2016. Deferred loan closing costs and fees totaled $606,648 and accumulated amortization totaled $125,692 as of December 31, 2015.

 

During the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $258,157 and $140,549, respectively, of interest expense related to the notes payable, which includes $30,327 and $18,126, respectively, of amortization of deferred loan fees.

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK COMPENSATION

 

On October 16, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 425,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2012 Plan to certain officers and consultants of the Company. The shares issued are subject to restrictions and future vesting conditions based on the Company reaching certain future milestones. None of the shares were vested as of the issuance date. Compensation expense will be recognized in the applicable future periods should the applicable milestones be achieved in accordance with the vesting schedule. As of March 31, 2016 there is no assurance that these milestones will in fact be achieved and that the shares will in fact vest in the future.

 

On February 1, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 22,609 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2012 Plan to certain officers and consultants of the Company. The shares were valued at a per share price of $5.00 per share consistent with the price of the Company’s current registered stock offering. There was $113,045 of stock compensation recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 due to this share issuance.

 

The Company has outstanding warrants that allow holders to purchase up to 263,588 shares at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.  The warrants will expire on September 27, 2018, if not exercised prior to that date.

 

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

 

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and expected carry-forwards are available to reduce taxable income. The Company records a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize some or all deferred tax assets. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015 the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $2,900,000. The federal and state tax loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2032, unless previously utilized.

 

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, use of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within a three year period. Management believes that such an ownership change had occurred but has not performed a study of the limitations on the net operating losses.

 

The Company plans to elect REIT status effective for the year ended December 31, 2015, should it meet all requirements allowing it to do so. The Company would then generally not be subject to income taxes assuming it complied with the specific distribution rules applicable to REITs. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating whether it will meet the REIT requirements for 2015. The Company believes that the current composition of our shareholders, if unchanged before the second half of 2016, would not comply with the ownership requirement for qualification as a REIT. Nevertheless, the Company intends to timely comply with this requirement as a result of the issuance of shares in our current offering, although no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, or that we will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. The Company has also incurred current and prior year net operating losses, thus is not expecting to incur current income tax expenses, and due to its expectations of electing REIT status commencing in 2015, is not expected to realize any future tax benefits from the current years, or prior years’ operating losses.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company sub-leased office space on a month-to-month basis from Reven Capital, LLC which is wholly-owned by Chad M. Carpenter, a shareholder of the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, through January 31, 2016. This arrangement was terminated upon the Company relocating its office space and signing a new lease agreement with an unrelated party. Rental payments under this sub-lease totaled $3,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Effective February 1, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Reven Capital, LLC where Reven Capital, LLC sub-leases space from the Company for $500 per month on a month to month basis.

 

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal and Regulatory

 

The Company is subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established for those claims. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, therefore, no accrual has been recorded as of the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Overview

 

We are an internally managed Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition, ownership and operation of portfolios of leased single family homes in the United States. We operate our portfolio properties as single family rentals, or SFRs, and we generate most of our revenue from rental income from the existing tenants of the SFRs we have acquired.

 

As of the date of this report, we have invested an aggregate of approximately $38.6 million and own a total of 527 homes, of which 256 homes are in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area, 168 homes are in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, 94 homes are in the Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area (with two of the Memphis homes located just across the border in Mississippi) and nine homes are in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.

 

We intend to expand our acquisitions to other select markets in the United States that fit our investment criteria as we continue to evaluate new investment opportunities in different markets. As of March 31, 2016, our portfolio properties are currently 94.1% occupied. All of our portfolio properties to date have been acquired from available cash and with the proceeds from four secured loan transactions pursuant to which we have borrowed a total of $19,890,410. Our loan transactions are secured by first priority liens and related rents on 168 homes in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, 256 homes in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area and 92 homes in the Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area.

 

Our principal objective is to generate cash flow and distribute resulting profits to our stockholders in the form of distributions, while gaining home price appreciation, or HPA, at the same time through the ownership of our portfolio properties. With this objective in mind, we have developed our primary business strategy of acquiring portfolios of stabilized or leased SFRs. We believe the execution of this strategy will allow us to generate immediate and steady cash flow from the rental income from the SFRs that we acquire while potentially gaining significant HPA over time. While our goal is to grow our company and generate available cash flow from the rental income of our SFRs that will allow us to pay all of our operating costs for the operation of our portfolio properties and distribute profits to our stockholders in the form of quarterly dividends, there can be no assurance we will be able to do so.

We plan to continue to acquire and manage single-family homes with a focus on current income yield, long term earnings growth and appreciation in asset value. Our ability to identify and acquire single-family properties that meet our investment criteria will be affected by our capital available for investment, and the cost of that capital, home prices in our markets, the inventory of properties available through our acquisition channels, and competition for our target assets. We believe the housing market environment in our markets remains attractive for single-family property acquisitions and rentals. At the same time, we continue to face relatively steady competition for new properties and residents from local operators and institutional managers. Housing prices across all of our markets have appreciated over the past year. Despite these gains, we believe housing in certain of our markets continues to provide attractive acquisition opportunities and remains inexpensive relative to replacement cost and affordability metrics.

 

We anticipate continued strong rental demand for single-family homes. While new building activity has begun to increase, it remains below historical averages and we believe substantial under-investment in residential housing over the past years will create upward pressure on home prices and rents as demand exceeds supply.

 

Public Offering

 

We have filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC for the offer of a minimum of 3,000,000 shares and a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public at an offering price of $5.00 per share. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on May 10, 2016. The common shares are being offered by us on a best-efforts basis. Unless the minimum offering is completed by June 30, 2016, or we elect to extend the minimum offering for up to an additional 60 days, the offering will terminate. If the minimum offering is completed by such date, the offering will continue until the earlier of (1) all shares are sold; (2) our decision to terminate the offering; or (3) December 31, 2016.

 

Proceeds of this offering will be used primarily for future acquisitions of homes. If we are unsuccessful in completing this offering, our future acquisition activity will be limited.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had total rental income of $1,378,979 compared to total rental income of $1,114,787 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in total rental and other income is due primarily to the increase in rental homes owned for the 2016 time period as compared to 2015. We owned 527 homes during the entire quarter ended March 31, 2016. In 2015, we started the year with 395 homes and owned 468 by March 31, 2015.

 

As of March 31, 2016, 496, or approximately 94%, of our 527 homes were occupied. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we had 30 home leases turnover, which represented approximately 5.7% of our end of the quarter portfolio. As of March 31, 2015, 447, or approximately 96%, of our 468 homes were occupied. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we had 22 home leases turnover, which represented approximately 4.7% of our end of the quarter portfolio.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we had property operating and maintenance expenses of $401,236 compared to $283,576 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Property operating and maintenance expenses consist of insurance, property management fees paid to third parties, repairs and maintenance costs, home owner association fees, and other miscellaneous property costs. Real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $213,162 compared to $162,501 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in property operating, maintenance and real estate taxes from 2015 to 2016 is due to a corresponding increase in our inventory of single family homes along with an increase in repairs and turn costs due to the fact that many of our homes were recently acquired during the 2015 period, thus we had yet to experience a normal expense and turn cost cycle.

 

12 

 

 

We had net operating income from rentals of $764,581 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to net operating income from rentals of $668,710 in the corresponding prior year’s quarter. The increase in net operating income is due primarily to the increase in rental homes owned during the current 2016 period. This results in a net operating income margin of approximately 55.4% in 2016 compared to a net operating income margin of 60.0% in 2015. The decrease in margin relates primarily to a proportional increase in property operating and maintenance expenses in 2016 when compared to 2015 expenses due to the fact that a large proportion of our homes were newly acquired in 2015 and we had not yet experienced a normal turn and repair cycle.

 

Real estate acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $57,864 compared to $246,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to a reduction in acquisition activities in 2016. Real estate acquisition costs consist primarily of closing costs, due diligence costs, abandoned project costs, and legal and accounting fees relating to our acquisitions of single family homes.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased to $325,416 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $266,888 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, reflecting the corresponding increase in our inventory of single family homes.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $448,058 compared to general and administrative expenses of $482,283 for the prior year. General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, outside director fees, occupancy fees, public company filing fees, and other general expenses. The decrease in our general and administrative expenses is due primarily to reductions in bonus compensation paid and accrued in 2016 when compared to the prior period.

 

Legal and accounting expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $52,966 compared to $155,320 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This reduction is due to a decrease in the amount of professional services required during the past quarter due to a reduced amount of acquisition activity compared to the prior year period.

 

Interest expense was $258,157 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $140,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This difference is a result of the increase in our outstanding debt balances during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015, along with the fact that the effective interest rate was approximately 1% higher in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the corresponding period in 2015.

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $377,880. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $622,415. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased to 7,031,618 from 7,016,796 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, resulting in a net loss per share of $0.05 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and a net loss per share of $0.09 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make interest payments and fund other general business needs. Our liquidity, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. Our near-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of acquiring properties, funding our operations, and making interest payments.

 

Our liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 2016 consisted primarily of cash of $1,626,158. We believe our current liquidity and the expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the present level of our operations through December 31, 2016. However, our future acquisition activity will depend primarily on our ability to raise funds from the further issuance of shares of our common stock combined with new loan transactions secured by our current and future home inventories. In order to purchase additional single family homes, we intend to opportunistically utilize the capital markets to raise additional capital, including through the issuance of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to access adequate liquidity sources on favorable terms, or at all.

 

Silvergate Credit Facility

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we entered into two loan transactions with Silvergate Bank pursuant to which we borrowed a total of $11,522,140 secured by deeds of trust encumbering a portion of our single family homes. The proceeds of the loans were used by us to purchase additional single family homes. In June 2014, we issued Silvergate a promissory note in the amount of $7,570,000 and in November 2014 we issued Silvergate a promissory note in the amount of $3,952,140. The June 2014 note provides for monthly interest only payments at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate until July 5, 2016 and, thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal, based on a 25 year amortization rate until maturity. The entire balance of principal and accrued interest under the June 2014 note is due and payable on July 5, 2019. The November 2014 note provides for monthly interest only payments at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate until December 5, 2016 and, thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal, based on a 25 year amortization rate until maturity. The entire balance of principal and accrued interest under the November 2014 note is due and payable on December 5, 2019.

 

On March 13, 2015, we entered into a third loan transaction with Silvergate Bank where we issued a promissory note in the amount of $3,526,985. The note provides for monthly interest only payments at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate until April 5, 2017 and, thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal, based on a 25 year amortization rate until maturity. The entire balance of principal and accrued interest under the note is due and payable on April 5, 2020.

 

13 

 

 

On October 14, 2015, we entered into a fourth loan transaction with Silvergate Bank where we received an additional $4,875,898 of loan proceeds secured by deeds of trust encumbering 131 homes located in Florida. The entire balance of principal and accrued interest is due and payable on November 5, 2020. The note provides for monthly interest only payments at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate (interest rate is 4.50% per annum at December 31, 2015) until November 5, 2017. Thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal, based on a 25 year amortization rate will be made until maturity. Approximately $3,480,516 of the proceeds were utilized to purchase 55 homes in the Jacksonville Florida metropolitan area in October and December, 2015.

 

The notes are secured by first priority liens and related rents on 168 homes in the Houston, Texas area, 93 homes in the Memphis, Tennessee area and 125 homes in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

 

Public Offering

 

We have filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC for the offer of a minimum of 3,000,000 shares and a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public at an offering price of $5.00 per share. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on May 10, 2016. The common shares are being offered by us on a best-efforts basis. Unless the minimum offering is completed by June 30, 2016, or we elect to extend the minimum offering for up to an additional 60 days, the offering will terminate. If the minimum offering is completed by such date, the offering will continue until the earlier of (1) all shares are sold; (2) our decision to terminate the offering; or (3) December 31, 2016.

 

Proceeds of this offering will be used primarily for future acquisitions of homes. If we are unsuccessful in completing this offering, our future acquisition activity will be limited.

 

Operating Activities

 

We had net cash used by operating activities of $317,040 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. This resulted from a net loss of $377,880, after adding back depreciation and amortization of $325,416, stock compensation of $113,045 and amortization of deferred loan fees of $30,327, and then decreasing the amount by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $407,948.

 

We had net cash provided by operations of $91,259 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. This resulted from a net loss of $622,415 after adding back depreciation and amortization of $266,888, amortization of loan fees of $18,126, and the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $428,660.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we invested $96,721 in capitalized improvements to our homes and $22,292 in lease origination costs, for a total of $119,013 of cash used in investing activities. This amount was lower than in the corresponding prior year’s quarter due to the fact that we did not purchase any additional homes during the period

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we invested $4,847,503 in acquisitions of single family homes, and $54,447 in lease origination costs relating to those acquisitions, for a total of $4,901,950 of cash used in investing activities.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 we incurred $78,087 of deferred stock issuance costs. This was the only financing activity during this time period.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $3,389,814 derived from $3,526,985 from the issuance of notes payable, less $137,171 of deferred loan fees relating to those notes.

  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Net Operating Income

 

We define net operating income (or NOI) as total revenue less property operating and maintenance and real estate taxes. NOI is a non-GAAP measurement that excludes acquisition costs, depreciation and amortization, general and administration, legal and accounting, and interest expenses.

 

We consider NOI to be a meaningful financial measure when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe NOI is helpful to investors in understanding the amount of income after operating expenses which is generated in a given period.

 

The following is a reconciliation of our NOI to net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 
   2016   2015 
   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited) 
         
Net income (loss)  $(377,880)  $(622,415)
           
    Acquisition costs   57,864    246,085 
Depreciation and amortization   325,416    266,888 
    General and administration   448,058    482,283 
    Legal and accounting   52,966    155,320 
    Interest expense   258,157    140,549 
           
Net Operating Income  $764,581   $668,710 
           
Net operating income as a percentage of total revenue   55.4%   60.0%

 

NOI should not be considered an alternative to net loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance or as measures of liquidity. Nor is NOI necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs or distributions to shareholders. In addition, although we use NOI for comparability in assessing our performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute the same non-GAAP measure of NOI. Accordingly our basis for computing this non- GAAP measure may not be comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in property operating and maintenance expenses incurred by, and real estate taxes applicable to, different companies and the significant effect these items have on NOI.

 

Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations

 

Funds From Operations (or FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (or NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO.

 

Core Funds From Operations (or Core FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We believe that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of our performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period. We adjust FFO for expensed acquisition fees and costs, share-based compensation, and certain other non-comparable costs to arrive at Core FFO.

 

FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although we use these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing our performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute the same non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization policies have on FFO and Core FFO. Real estate costs which are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and depreciated over time, whereas real estate costs that are expenses are accounted for as a current period expense. This affects FFO and Core FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO and Core FFO. Conversely, real estate costs associated with assets that are capitalized and then subsequently depreciated are added back to net income to calculate FFO and Core FFO.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP and our calculations of FFO and Core FFO for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 
   2016   2015 
   (Unaudited)   (Unaudited) 
         
Net income (loss)  $(377,880)  $(622,415)
           
   Add back depreciation and amortization   325,416    266,888 
           
Funds from operations  $(52,464)  $(355,527)
           
   Add back acquisition costs   57,864    246,085 
   Add back stock compensation   113,045    - 
           
Core funds from operations  $118,445   $(109,442)

 

Note for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not sell any of our real estate investments. Therefore we did not have any gains or losses on the sale of assets. Additionally, we have not incurred any impairments in value of any our real estate investments over these same periods.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2016.  Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer 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 Commission's rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.
