1.

Nature of Operations

 

American Housing Income Trust, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) was incorporated on December 17, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 13, 2015, following the acquisition of the majority and controlling shares of the Company by American Realty Partners, LLC (“ARP”), a change of control of the Company took place. On May 11, 2015, the Company converted into a Maryland corporation and changed its name to American Housing Income Trust, Inc.

 

On August 3, 2015, the Company, and Valfre Holdings, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, and James A. Valfre and Pamela J. Valfre, f/k/a Pruitt (collectively, "Valfre") closed on the Company's acquisition of nine single family residences in Arizona through an umbrella limited liability partnership organized in Maryland called "AHIT Valfre, LLP" (“AHIT Valfre”). Pursuant to the AHIT Valfre Agreements, in consideration for the conveyance of the nine single family residences, which were acquired by AHIT Valfre “subject to” existing mortgages, AHIT Valfre issued limited partnership interests to Valfre. On April 8, 2016, AHIT Valfre completed its internal restructuring and the partners in AHIT Valfre restructured their respective interests in the partnership resulting in AHIT Valfre GP, LLC (“AHIT Valfre GP”) and AHIT Valfre Limiteds, LLC (“AHIT Valfre Limiteds”) serving as General Partner and Limited Partner respectively, of AHIT Valfre.

 

The Company is in the business of acquiring and operating residential properties. As of the date of this filing, the Company holds title to 47 residential properties and 1 commercial property.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2016.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 as reported in the Company's Form 10-K have been omitted.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries ARP, and its subsidiary special purpose entities, ARP Pledgor, LLC, ARP Borrower, LLC, ARP Pledgor II, LLC, APR Borrower II, LLC and AHIT Valfre, LLP. All significant intercompany transaction and balances have been eliminated.

 

b) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, and income taxes. 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 values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

 

 

c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties and notes payable are reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if, applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

 

Level 1   Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that management has the ability to access.

 

Level 2   Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (commodity derivatives and interest rate swaps).

 

Level 3   Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The Company does not have any financial instruments that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

d) Non-controlling Interest

 

Limited partnership units in AHIT-Valfre that are not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interest in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Our limited partners do not have the right to share in the net income or losses of AHIT Valfre but have the right to convert all or part of their partnership units to common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis following the one-year anniversary of issuance. At the time of redemption, we have the right to determine whether to redeem the non-controlling limited partnership units of AHIT Valfre for cash, based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at the time of redemption. As of March 31, 2016, there were 300,026 limited partnership units outstanding in AHIT Valfre.

 

e)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated 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.

 

 

 

3. Going Concern

 

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $789,003, and as at March 31, 2016, the Company has accumulated losses of $8,783,650 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has been successful in raising cash through equity offerings in the past. The Company has financing efforts in place to continue to raise cash through equity offerings.

 

Management has developed a plan to continue operations. This plan includes obtaining equity financing and reducing expenses. Although the Company has successfully completed financings in the past fiscal years, the Company cannot assure that the plans to address these matters in the future will be successful.

The Company is a defendant in a civil matter pending in San Joaqin County, California brought by a current shareholder – Ronald Trinchitella and Billie Jean Trinchitella TTEE Trinchitella Family Trust DTD 7/15/1999 (the “Trinchitella Case”). The plaintiff was a member in American Realty prior to the Share Exchange Agreement with the Company was effectuated. The plaintiff is seeking rescission damages against American Realty, i.e. a return of his investment, on the premise that Performance Realty was required to honor his demand for redemption of his units when, according to American Realty, honoring the redemption was at the sole discretion of Performance Realty. The Company is a defendant by virtue of its relationship with American Realty. The Company has denied all allegations and is defending the case.

 

Environmental Matters

 

The Company follows a policy of monitoring its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist at its properties, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to its properties that would have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, or consolidated cash flows. Additionally, the Company is not aware of any material environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that management believes would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

General Description of Business

The Company was incorporated on December 17, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 13, 2015, following the acquisition of the majority and controlling shares of the Company by American Realty Partners, LLC ("ARP"), a change of control of the Company took place. On May 11, 2015, the Company converted into a Maryland corporation and changed its name to American Housing Income Trust, Inc.

The Company is currently in the business of acquiring, renovating, rehabilitating and, in turn, renting single family residence. The Company intends on continuing with this business plan, but with the proceeds from the offering set forth in its pending registration statement on Form S-11/A, it intends on growing its portfolio, adding more diversity and independence to its Board of Directors, and securing more favorable terms on its debt service. The Company intends on operating as a REIT in 2016, and if it meets the qualifications of a REIT, the Company intends on complying with the dividend policy announced in its registration statement on Form S-11/A.

The Company currently operates through related-party/affiliate entities in holding title to those single family residences in its portfolio – American Realty, ARP Borrower, ARP Borrower II and AHIT Valfre, LLP, a limited liability partnership commonly referred to as an UPREIT, or operating umbrella partnership. The Company's commitment to raise additional capital, as set forth in the prospectus under its registration statement on Form S-11/A, underscores its intention of aggressively pursuing its short-term and long-term business plan. The Company believes it is still positioned to declare status as a real estate investment trust for tax year 2016. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

The following table sets forth the summary income statement for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

		Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2016				March 31, 2015
Revenue		$	161,900			$	90,061
Operating Expense		$	955,884			$	862,898
Other Income		$	4,981			$	–
Net Loss		$	(789,003	)		$	(772,837	)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we reported a net loss of $789,003 and $772,837, respectively. The change in net loss between the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was primarily attributable to the increase of $92,986 in operating expense offset by the increase of $71,837 in revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, depreciation increased by $8,314, general and administrative expense increased by $396,397, interest expense increased by $13,275. The increase in operating expense is a result of increased professional and consulting fees incurred in relation to our reporting requirements as a public company and preparing the registration statement and stock-based compensation of $291,058 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 in relation to shares issuable to the Company’s management pursuant to an employment agreement. The net increase of $396,397 in general and administrative expense is mainly related to the increase of $283,573 in management and consulting fees, $186,739 in professional fees, and offset by a decrease of $27,986 in overhead costs and a decrease of $47,467 in advertising and marketing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $291,058 pursuant to an employment agreement which is included in general and administrative expense.

 

Revenue - Rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $166,767, compared to $87,159 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This resulted in an increase of approximately $79,608 or 91% from the comparable period. The increase in revenue is primarily a result of the Company having more rental properties rented out and generating revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015.

Operating Expenses - Operating expenses for the three ended March 31, 2016, was $955,884, as compared to $862,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $92,986 increase is primarily attributable to the increase of $396,397 in general and administrative expense mainly related to the increase of $186,739 in professional fees, $283,573 in management fees, and offset by a decrease of $27,986 in overhead costs and $47,467 in advertising and marketing. The Company also incurred acquisition cost of $325,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 in relation to the reverse acquisition that closed on July 6, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $291,058 pursuant to an employment agreement which is included in general and administrative expense.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations and 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 purchasing our target assets, restoring and leasing properties and funding our operations.

Our long-term liquidity needs primarily of funds necessary to pay for the acquisition and maintenance of properties; non-recurring capital expenditures; interest and principal payments on our indebtedness; and general and administrative expenses. We seek to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, and property dispositions. We have financed our operations and acquisitions to date through the funding by members of our subsidiaries and third party loans, including the debt service identified above in the section titled "Description of Business."

We believe our current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future if we do not receive additional funding. Our assets are illiquid by their nature. Thus, a timely liquidation of assets might not be a viable source of short-terms liquidity should a cash flow shortfall arise that cause a need for additional liquidity. It could be necessary to source liquidity from other financing alternatives should any such scenario arise. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. In that event, we would be required to change our growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, if at all.

Cash Flow Information

 

Net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $302,790 and $867,991, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily related to the increase in revenue and from the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three month ended March 31, 2016 was $202,673 as compared to $522,733 of net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change was due to the proceeds from sale of real estate properties of $211,200 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2015. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company spent $3,411 in improving existing rental properties as compared to $522,733 spent during the three months ended March 31, 2015 on purchase of real estate properties and improvements. The Company also purchased $5,116 of property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net cash used in all financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $21,475 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,326,683 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change was due to proceeds from sale of common stock of $1,216,502 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, and proceeds from issuance of notes payable of $120,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, offset by the repayment of notes payable of $9,819 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $21,475 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our estimated working capital requirement for the next 12 months is $350,000 with an estimated burn rate of $30,000 per month. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had cash of $77,978 at March 31, 2016.

 

 

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have not utilized any derivative financial instruments such as futures contracts, options and swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts or interest rate swaps and futures. We believe that adequate controls are in place to monitor any hedging activities. We do not have any borrowings (however, our wholly-owned subsidiary does service debt related to the properties owned by the subsidiary), and, consequently, we are not affected by changes in market interest rates. We do not currently have any sales or own assets and operate facilities in countries outside the United States and, consequently, we are not affected by foreign currency fluctuations or exchange rate changes. Overall, we believe that our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate changes is not material to our financial condition or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and related financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Investment in Real Estate - We allocate the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets. Fair value for land and building is based on the purchase price for these properties.

Property/SFRs acquired not subject to an existing lease are accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the property recorded at the purchase price, including acquisition costs. We incur costs to prepare our acquired properties to be rented. These costs are capitalized and allocated to building costs. Costs related to the restoration or improvement of our properties that improve and extend their useful lives are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (building and improvements - 27 years).

 

Revenue Recognition - Rental income for property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. We lease single-family residences that we own and manage directly to tenants who occupy the properties under operating leases, generally, with terms of one year. We perform credit investigations on prospective tenants and obtains security deposits. Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate assets are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment - Real Estate Sale. The specific timing of a sale is measured against various criteria in ASC 360-20 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, we defer some or all of the gain recognition and accounts for continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

Related Party - A party is considered to be related to us if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with ourselves. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

Properties

We currently lease an office at the address set forth above. We believe that this space will be sufficient for our initial needs, although as funding and revenues become available, and the Company's operations grow, we anticipate finding other office space as needed.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

None.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

As described in Basis of Presentation in the Annual Report for fiscal year 2015, the Company recently determined that a material weakness existed in the Firm's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2015. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As a result of that determination, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have since concluded that the Firm's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2016.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
