Genesis Financial, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization:
Genesis Financial, Inc. (“the Company” or “GFI”) was incorporated in Washington State on January 24, 2002 and on January 26, 2016 we moved our corporate domicile to the State of Wyoming. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing and selling real estate receivable loans and periodically providing bridge capital funding. Loans consist of real estate loans and mortgage notes collateralized by primarily first position liens on residential and commercial real estate. The loans collateralized by real estate are typically non-conventional either because they are originated as a result of seller financing, or the underlying property is non-conventional.
The Company invests in loans using investor funds, equity funds and funds generated from external borrowings including a line of credit facility from an affiliated stockholder.
The financial statements of GFI, presented in this Form 10Q are unaudited and reflect, in the opinion of Management, a fair presentation of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. All adjustments of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.
Summary of Significant 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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used herein include those relating to management’s estimate of fair value of loans held for sales, real estate owned, and long-term investments. It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those and other estimates used in preparing these financial statements and such differences could be material.
Fair value measurements - The following information for each class of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value is disclosed:
1.
the fair value measurement;
2.
the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3);
3.
for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following:
a.
total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings are reported in the statement of operations;
b.
the amount of these gains or losses attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets or liabilities still held at the reporting period date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported;
c.
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); and
d.
transfers into and/or out of Level 3.
4.
the amount of the total gains or losses for the period in (3)(a) included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations; and
6
Genesis Financial, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
5.
in annual periods only, the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period.
Real estate leasehold interest – Leasehold interests in real estate are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, an adjustment to the carrying value of the property is made to reduce it to its estimated fair value. Project costs clearly associated with the development of the leasehold interest are capitalized. As portions of the leasehold interest are rented, depreciation expense is recognized over the term of the leasehold interest. Rental income received on the interests is recognized in the period earned.
Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Loans held for sale are then re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value for these loans is determined by assessing the probability of borrower default using historical payment performance and available cash flows to the borrower, then projecting the amount and timing of cash flows, including collateral liquidation if repayment weaknesses exist. The Company considers any valuation inputs related to loans held for sale to be Level 3 inputs. Interest on loans held for sale is included in interest income during the period held for sale. Typically, the Company attempts to sell loans three to twelve months after acquisition. It is the policy of the Company not to hold any loans for investment purposes.
Real estate owned – Real estate owned (“REO”) (acquired through a loan default) is recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Upon transfer of a loan held for sale to REO, properties are recorded at amounts which are equal to fair value of the properties based on the following inputs: (1) appraisal provided by a certified appraiser, (2) BPO (Broker’s Pricing Opinion) provided by a qualified real estate broker, (3) site inspection by qualified management of the Company, or (4) a combination of all of the above. Periodically, non-recurring fair value adjustments to REO are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the same inputs. The Company considers any valuation inputs related to REO to be Level 3 inputs. The individual carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and any additional impairment charges are expensed to operations.
Income tax – Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets, subject to a valuation allowance, are recognized for future benefits of net operating losses being carried forward. The Company effective tax rate for 2017 is expected to be 0%.
Earnings per share – Basic earnings per common share have been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the number of shares that are currently outstanding plus the number of shares that would be issued pursuant to outstanding warrants, stock options and common stock issuable on conversion of preferred stock unless such shares are deemed to be anti-dilutive such as when a net loss is present. The dilutive effect of options, convertible debt and convertible securities, in periods of future income, would be as follows as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016;
| March 31, | ||
| 2017 |

Stock options | - |
| 261,000 |
Convertible preferred stock | - |
| - |
Convertible debt | - |
| - |
Total possible dilution | -0- |
| 261,000 |
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of reported operations or stockholders’ equity.

On February 24, 2015, the Company converted the loan into 300,000 shares of common stock of Digi Outdoor Media, Inc. (“Digi”), the successor in interest to Placer. The Company determined that the fair value of the shares received on the conversion to be $150,000 based upon the loan balance of $150,000 because Digi is not publicly traded and has had no recent cash sale of its common stock. The fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

The note accrues interest at eight (8%) percent per annum with interest and balance initially due on December 15, 2012. The note is convertible at any time by Mr. Coghlan into one (1) share of the Company’s Series “B” Preferred stock for every $1.00 outstanding of the note payable and related accrued interest. In connection with the issuance of this note, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $128,750 that resulted in a discount to the note payable. The discount was amortized into earnings over the initial term of the note and was fully amortized at December 31, 2012. The note is collateralized by 290,000 shares of the Company’s Series “B” Preferred stock. On October 16, 2012, the Company and Coghlan agreed to extend the due date of the note to December 15, 2016.
On February 8, 2016, Mr. Coghlan elected to convert his note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The note was originally convertible into 250,000 shares of Series "B", or 625,000 shares of common stock equivalents, at the option of Mr. Coghlan. However, Mr. Coghlan agreed to accept 725,000 common shares in lieu of full payment. The 100,000 additional common shares represents a financing cost to the Company and as such, financing expense of $29,000 was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Note Payable:
In 2013, the Company assumed a note payable totaling $62,699 relating to a loan it had made in 2005. When the Company funded the loan in 2005, it sold 100% of its interest to various investors. During 2013, the Company began foreclosure proceedings on behalf of the investors because the borrower was delinquent on payments. During the proceedings, it was determined that the Company had failed to obtain first position in the underlying property and that a separate creditor was in first position. To uphold its agreement with the investors, the Company assumed the balance of the note with the creditor and recognized a loss for the entire amount in 2013. The term of the assumed note is 9.5% until paid in full and monthly payments are $832. At March 31, 2017, the balance owing is $26,002.
NOTE 7 — SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK:
On November 11, 2010 the Company filed Articles of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation creating 2,290,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The designated Series B Preferred Stock consists of 2,000,000 shares with a par value $1.00; is non-dividend bearing, convertible to Common Stock at $.40 per share subject to any recapitalization. The Company subsequently amended the share amount to 2,290,000. The holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any Distributions of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock. Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into two and one-half common stock shares at the option of the holder. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock can be automatically converted immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written request for such request for such conversion from the holders of the majority of the Series B Preferred Stock holders.
On May 18, 2015, the Company by majority consent of Preferred Shareholder agreed to convert all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred to common stock. On June 26, 2015, 1,649,500 shares of Series B Preferred were converted into 4,123,750 common shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
When used in this Form 10-Q and in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words or phrases will likely result, management expects, or we expect, will continue, is anticipated, estimated or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. Actual results may differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Background
Genesis Financial, Inc. is engaged in the business of buying and selling seller financed real estate loans ("loans"), and originating commercial real estate hard money loans and providing startup capital funding. We purchase loans at a discount and hold them for sale for a relatively short period to provide seasoning and value appreciation. After the holding period, we sell the loans. We expect to derive operating revenues from resales of loans at a profit, and from interest income derived from loans during the holding period. We originate commercial real estate loans and sell the loan, or participations in those loans, to accredited private investors. From time to time, we also consider other forms of cash flow instruments when warranted. Genesis has also invested in two private companies with a view toward diversifying its investment portfolio.
Additional details about our business are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources and results of operations. You should read this analysis in conjunction with the financial statements and notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This section contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies and financial performance. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth under "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
Over the course of the next twelve months, we will continue to concentrate on resolving delinquencies and repossession situations, raising capital to acquire income producing real estate, and make new short term bridge loans in the real estate industry. We are not capitalized at a level that allows holding of significant amounts of loans and as a result, we will continue to work toward short term turnover.
We plan to reduce the number of loan purchase transactions. We intend to focus our efforts on real estate development lending transactions both as a lender or as a participant which we believe will improve our cash flow.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Revenues
Total revenues for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 were $10,147 compared to $25,030 for the same quarter ending March 31, 2016. The majority of the revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was from interest, loan fee and rental income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017 there was a significant decrease in rental income due to the decline in oil price that impacted our rental property in North Dakota.
Net income (loss) from operations was ($54,209) and $84,009, respectively, for the quarters ending March 31, 2017 and 2016.
14
Of the loans held for sale at March 31, 2017, loans held for sale with value of $179,167 were in payment default. We believe the defaults and repossessions are directly related to the national real estate market collapse.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $47,490 and $61,662, respectively. G&A primarily consists of management and professional fees for legal and auditing, which can be found under Salaries, Rental property expense and Office occupancy and other on the statement of operation. The changes for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $14,172 and $2,109, respectively.
Interest Expense
For the quarters ending March 31, 2017 and 2016, interest expense amounted to $11,279 and $3,691, respectively.
Interest expense was incurred on borrowings under lines of credits with Riverbank, an unaffiliated lender, and the Coghlan Family Corporation, an affiliated company.
We are currently operating under a primary $250,000 line of credit with Riverbank, an unaffiliated lender, with a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate index rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1%, with a floor of four and one-half percent. The line of credit also included a one-half percent origination fee. The line of credit expires December 1, 2017.
We also are currently operating under a secondary $2,500,000 line of credit with Coghlan Family Corporation, an affiliated company, with a variable interest rate equal to the prime index rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal), plus 1%. The line of credit also includes a one-half percent origination fee. Because of the weak economic conditions, effective January 1, 2012, CFC had agreed to (1) extend the due date to January 1, 2016, waive all interest beginning October 1, 2010, (2) waive the 12% default rate, (3) waive the financial covenants and (4) waive the commitment fee. Effective August 1, 2016, the company amended the Warehouse Line of Credit Promissory Note Agreement to four (4%) percent interest to be paid monthly in common stock. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock valued at $5,000 as a loan renewal fee.
We consider the terms of the lines of credit to be acceptable. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balances on the lines of credit were $1,120,000 and $1,130,000, respectively. Interest expense on the line of credit will fluctuate in future periods with inventory levels.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash available of $63,928 and $10,639, respectively, and $80,000 and $70,000 were available under our bank line of credit. Management considers the capital resources to be adequate to meet the current operating needs of the Company for the next twelve months.
Genesis is currently operating under a primary $250,000 line of credit with Riverbank, an unaffiliated lender, with a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate index rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1%, with a floor of four and one-half percent. The line of credit also included a one-half percent origination fee. The line of credit expires December 1, 2017. The line is payable on demand and is personally guaranteed by John and Wendy Coghlan. At March 31, 2017 the balance was $170,000.
At March 31, 2017, the Company had a $2,500,000 Line of Credit Agreement with the Coghlan Family Corporation, Inc. (“CFC”) with a balance of $950,000. CFC is an affiliated company controlled by a director and principal shareholder of the Company. The interest rate on the line is a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate index (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1%. The line has a term of 12 months and an origination fee of 1/2% or $12,500. The credit line is collateralized by all of Genesis’ assets but is subordinate to the RiverBank line of credit. The line of credit agreement requires that the Company maintain a debt to equity ratio of no greater than 3.0. Borrowings under the line are personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company. Because of the weak economic conditions, effective January 1, 2012, CFC had agreed to (1) extend the due date to January 1, 2016, waive all interest beginning October 1, 2010, (2) waive the 12% default rate, (3) waive the financial covenants and (4) waive the commitment fee. Effective August 1, 2016, the company amended the Warehouse Line of Credit Promissory Note Agreement to four (4%) percent interest to be paid monthly in common stock. In addition, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock valued at $5,000 as a loan renewal fee.
15
Our capital resources have been adequate to fund our operations at a reasonable level during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. We have paid close attention to our contract purchases and loans and maintained our funding requirements within our available resources. We receive interest and principal reductions (typically monthly) on contracts and loans which we hold in inventory. We would require an increase in our capital base to grow the company, and become profitable.
For the quarters ending March 31, 2017 and 2016, our net cash flows from operating activities were ($31,053) and ($177,660), respectively. The reason for the decrease in 2016 was the sale of a loans held for sale.
For the period ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 the cash flows used by investing activities was $ 96,140 and $389,934, respectively. The reason for the increase in 2016 was the sale of a real estate limited liability company.
During these periods our net cash provided by (used by) financing activities was ($12,383) and ($170,376), respectively. The reason for the decrease for the period ended March 31, 2016 was the pay down of the Riverbank line of credit.
The Company’s principal sources of cash are from interest, loan fees, rental income, related party loans, unaffiliated party loans, funding agreements and common and preferred stock private placements. The Company anticipates that our primary uses of cash will need to be supplemented in order to meet the demands upon its current operations, and the need for additional funds to finance ongoing acquisitions of seller financed real estate receivables and originations of commercial real estate hard money loans, and the expense of the litigating of delinquent contracts and loans, and the maintenance and resale costs of repossessed properties.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, 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. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2017 to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
16
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
