NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015 and 2014 (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 September 30, 2015, the Company owned 473 single family homes in the Houston, Jacksonville, Memphis and Atlanta metropolitan areas.

 

 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 Article 8 of Regulation S-X 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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results of such period. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2015 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 acquired property 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 the impairment of investments in real estate 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 September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Cash

 

The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and escrow deposits 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. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Property Tax and Insurance Reserves

 

Property tax and insurance reserves represent amounts held in accordance with the terms of the Company’s notes payable for property taxes and insurance. During the first quarter of 2015, the lender waived this requirement and the amounts previously held in escrow have been released to the Company.

 

Escrow Deposits and Prepaid Expenses

 

Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash and earnest money on deposit with third parties for future property purchases.

 

Deferred Loan Fees

 

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. Deferred loan costs and fees totaled $499,768 and accumulated amortization totaled $97,146 as of September 30, 2015. Amortization expense for these loan fees was $24,984 and $68,094 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Loan fees totaled $266,503 and amortization expense totaled $13,326 as of September 30, 2014.

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

 

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 performed within one year. These costs are 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s single family homes are leased under short term rental agreements of generally one year with individual tenants and revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is currently being taxed as a “C” corporation, but 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 ending December 31, 2015. Management believes that the Company will be able to satisfy the 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 are 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 are distributed. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company 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.

 

The tax benefit or liabilities 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

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, and 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.

 

On April 4, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 48,750 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2012 Plan to the members of the Board of Directors as compensation for their services.

 

On October 16, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and 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.

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

 

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculations were 263,588 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants granted in conjunction with the convertible notes.

 

On November 5, 2014, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the issued common stock. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership and proportional voting power generally remained unchanged as a result of the reverse stock split. All applicable share data, per share amounts and related information in the condensed consolidated financial statements and noted thereto have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the 1-for-20 reverse stock split.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company is currently evaluating all 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 entire balance of principal and accrued interest is due and payable on April 5, 2020. The note provides for monthly interest only payments at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate (interest rate is 4.25% per annum at September 30, 2015) until April 5, 2017. Thereafter, monthly payments of interest (1.00% over the prime rate) 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 April 5, 2017. There is no prepayment penalty on amounts paid after such date.

 

The terms of the notes also provide for lender reserve accounts for taxes and insurance reserves. As of December 31, 2014, a total of $260,123 was held in these lender escrow accounts. During the first quarter of 2015, the lender waived this requirement and the amounts previously held in escrow have been released to the Company.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $188,434 and $517,009, respectively, of interest expense related to the notes payable, which includes $24,984 and $68,094, respectively, of amortization of deferred loan fees. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $50,603 and $66,415, respectively, of interest expense related to the notes payable, which includes $13,326 and $13,326, respectively, of amortization of deferred loan fees.

 

 

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On November 5, 2014, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of issued common stock. In conjunction with the reverse stock split, the Board of Directors approved a change in the number of authorized common shares from 600,000,000 to 100,000,000, which change was made immediately after the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. Additionally, the par value of the shares was modified from $.02 to $.001 per share so that the par value per share of the common stock before the reverse stock split and after the reverse stock split remained at $.001 per share. References in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been adjusted to retroactively account for the effects of the reverse split.

 

The Company currently has warrants outstanding allowing its holders to purchase up to 263,588 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.  The warrants will expire on September 27, 2018, if not exercised prior to that date. No warrants were exercised in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 7. STOCK COMPENSATION

 

On April 4, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and the Company issued, an aggregate of 48,750 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2012 Plan to the members of the Board of Directors as compensation for their past services. These shares were issued to compensate the members for past services and valued at $4.00 per share, based on the grant date fair value, for a total expense of $195,000 which has been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Due to the Company’s low trading volume, the grant date fair value was determined based on similar issuances of stock in the Company’s private placements.

 

On October 16, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and 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. At the time of filing, there is no assurance that these milestones will in fact be achieved and that the shares will in fact vest in the future. No expense was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

 

NOTE 8. 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,511,000. 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 ending December 31, 2015, when it meets all requirements allowing it to do so. At that time, the Company would generally not be subject to income taxes assuming it complied with the specific distribution rules applicable to REITs. The Company has also incurred current period and prior year net operating losses; thus, it does not expect to incur current income tax expenses. Additionally, due to the Company’s expectations of electing REIT status commencing in 2015, it does not expect to realize any future tax benefits from the current years, or prior years’ operating losses.

 

 

NOTE 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company sub-leases 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 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Rental payments totaled $9,000 and $27,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Rental payments totaled $9,000 and $25,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 10. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and, therefore, no accrual has been recorded as of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Security Deposits

 

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $382,329 and $306,004, respectively, in resident security deposits. Security deposits are refundable, net of any outstanding charges and fees, upon expiration of the underlying lease.

 

Escrow Deposits and Prepaid Expenses

 

Escrow deposits and prepaid expenses include earnest deposits for the purchase of properties. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had entered into agreements to purchase 240 residential properties for an aggregate amount of approximately $18,118,000 and had corresponding refundable earnest deposits for these purchases of $181,177. At December 31, 2014, the Company had entered into agreements to purchase residential properties for an aggregate amount of $8,700,000 and had corresponding refundable earnest deposits for these purchases of $87,000. However, the Company may not consummate the real estate purchase because properties may fall out of escrow through the closing process for various reasons and these purchases are contingent on the Company’s ability to acquire the debt or equity financing required to fund the acquisition.

 

 

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events up until the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

 

Note Payable

 

On October 14, 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received $4,452,382 of loan proceeds and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $5,015,060 to Silvergate Bank, secured by deeds of trust encumbering 121 of the Company’s homes located in Florida. Proceeds totaling $562,678 are subject to a holdback agreement with the bank and will be released contingent on future home purchases. 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 (current interest rate is 4.25% per annum at September 30, 2015) 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.

 

Recent Investments in Real Estate

 

On October 14, 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company purchased a portfolio of 45 single family homes, located in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area for approximately $3,057,000. This purchase was part of an original purchase and sale agreement for 140 homes for a total purchase price of approximately $9,418,000. The remaining homes may be purchased in the future subject to the Company’s completion of a satisfactory due diligence process regarding the single family homes.

Overview

 

We are an internally-managed real estate investment company focused on the acquisition, leasing, and management of recently renovated and stabilized single-family properties in select markets in the United States. Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long term through dividends and capital appreciation. We generate virtually all of our revenue by leasing our portfolio of single-family properties. As of September 30, 2015, we owned 473 single-family properties, of which 201 are in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area, 168 are in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, 95 are in the Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area, and nine are in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. The average investment in the 473 homes is approximately $73,500 per home. Of the 473 homes owned at September 30, 2015, 446 were occupied, or 94%. The per-home average rent for the portfolio is approximately $940 per month.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 78 residential homes located in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area. The purchase price for the 78 homes was approximately $5,194,000. On October 14, 2015 we completed the purchase of an additional 45 homes located in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area for a purchase price of approximately $3,057,000.

 

In order to supplement our financial resources, we received $3,526,985 of loan proceeds from Silvergate Bank on March 13, 2015. The loan is secured by deeds of trust encumbering a majority of our homes located in Florida. The entire balance of principal and accrued interest is due and payable on April 5, 2020. The note provides for monthly payments of interest only at a rate of 1.00% over the prime rate (interest rate is 4.25% at September 30, 2015) until April 5, 2017. Thereafter, monthly payments of interest (1.00% over the prime rate) and principal, assuming a 25 year amortization rate, will be made until maturity.

 

On October 14, 2015, we received an additional $4,452,382 of loan proceeds from Silvergate Bank and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $5,015,060 to Silvergate Bank, secured by deeds of trust encumbering 121 of our homes located in Florida. Proceeds totaling $562,678 are subject to a holdback agreement with the bank and will be released contingent on future home purchases. 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 4.25% per annum at September 30, 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 $3,057,000 of the proceeds were utilized to purchase 45 homes in the Jacksonville Florida metropolitan area mentioned above.

 

We plan to continue to acquire and manage single-family homes with a focus on 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 home prices in our markets, the inventory of properties available through our acquisition channels, competition for our target assets, available capital for investment, and the cost of that capital. We believe the housing market environment in our markets remains attractive for single-family property acquisitions and rentals. We also believe that pricing for housing in our markets remains attractive and demand for housing is growing. 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 core markets have appreciated over the past year. Despite these gains, we believe housing in our markets continues to provide attractive acquisition opportunities and remains inexpensive relative to replacement cost and affordability metrics.

 

  14  

 

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2015, we have entered into agreements to purchase approximately 240 additional residential properties for an aggregate amount of approximately $18,118,000. However, we may not consummate the real estate purchases because properties may fall out of escrow through the closing process for various reasons and these purchases are contingent on our ability to acquire the debt or equity financing required to fund the acquisitions. As mentioned above, 45 of these homes were purchased on October 14, 2015 at an approximate purchase price of $3,057,000.

 

We intend to take all necessary steps to qualify, and elect to be taxed as, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code, effective for the year ending December 31, 2015. However, no assurance can be given that we will qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations and financial condition will be affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. The key factors we expect to impact our results of operations and financial condition include our pace and costs of acquisitions, rental rates, the varying costs of external property management, occupancy levels, rates of resident turnover, turnover costs, changes in homeownership rates, insurance costs, real estate taxes, our expense ratios, and our capital structure.

 

Three Month Period ended September 30, 2015 compared to Three Month Period ended September 30, 2014

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we had total rental income of $1,219,419 compared to total rental income of $740,778 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The increase in total rental income is due to the increase of rental homes owned from 293 as of September 30, 2014 to 473 as of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, 446, or approximately 94%, of our 473 homes were occupied. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we had 70 home leases turnover, which represented approximately 15% of our end of the quarter portfolio. We experienced an average turnover cost per home in the approximate amount of $2,360 for the third quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2014, 280, or approximately 96%, of our 293 homes were occupied. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we had 12 home leases turn over, which represented approximately 4% of our end of the quarter portfolio. We experienced an average turnover cost per home in the approximate amount of $1,880 for the third quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2015, we had 82 delinquent tenants, or 17% of all tenants, for an aggregate amount of $33,680 in rents and other payments owed, compared to 17 delinquent tenants, or 6% of all tenants, for an aggregate amount of $7,110 at September 30, 2014. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we had collection losses of approximately 5%. Collection losses were approximately 3% during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Collection losses are reflected in our total net rental income. We anticipate that the turnover frequency, costs, and collection losses experienced in the third quarter ending September 30, 2015 will be reflective of our future operations. The turnover frequency, costs, and collection losses experienced in the third quarter ending September 30, 2014 were lower due to the fact that most of our portfolio had been owned less than one year, thus we had not yet experienced a full lease turnover cycle.

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we had property operating and maintenance expenses of $355,238 compared to property operating and maintenance expenses of $168,496 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Property operating and maintenance expenses consist of insurance, property management fees paid to third parties, repairs and maintenance costs, homeowner association fees, and other miscellaneous property costs. The increase in property operating and maintenance expenses from 2014 to 2015 reflects the corresponding increase in our inventory of single-family homes.

 

Real estate taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $194,985 compared to $93,815 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Again the increase is due to our increase in single-family homes owned during the period.

 

Acquisition costs totaled $37,341 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Acquisition costs consist of closing costs, due diligence costs and reports, and legal fees relating to our acquisitions of single-family homes along with auditing and accounting costs related to our reporting requirements related to our real estate portfolio acquisitions. Acquisition costs totaled $256,764 during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The acquisition costs were higher during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 due to increased acquisition activity during that period last year.

 

Depreciation and amortization of our investments in real estate increased to $295,344 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to $240,650 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the corresponding increase in our inventory of single family homes.

 

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $419,022 compared to general and administrative expenses of $278,543 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, outside director fees, occupancy fees, public company filing fees, and other general expenses. The increase is due to increases in director fees, personnel costs, and occupancy costs as a result of our increase in operations.

 

Legal and accounting expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $44,609 compared to $49,809 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

  15  

 

 

Interest expense on our notes payable was $188,434 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense consisted of interest on our loans of $15,049,125 from Silvergate Bank. Interest expense was $50,603 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as our outstanding debt was significantly lower during the period when compared to our current note balance.

 

Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $315,554 compared to a net loss of $397,902 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased to 7,016,796 from 6,591,796 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a net loss per share of $0.04 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss per share of $0.06 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

Nine Months ended September 30, 2015 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had total rental and other income of $3,602,192 compared to total rental and other income of $1,716,758 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in total rental income is due to the increase of rental homes owned from 293 as of September 30, 2014 to 473 as of September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had 160 home leases turnover, which represented approximately 34% of our end of the period portfolio. We experienced an average turnover cost per home in the approximate amount of $1,980 for the nine months ended September 30. 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had 37 home leases turnover, which represented approximately 13% of our end of the period portfolio. We experienced an average turnover cost per home in the approximate amount of $970 for the nine months ended September 30. 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had collection losses of approximately 4%. We had collection losses of approximately 1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Collection losses are reflected in our total net rental income.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had property operating and maintenance expenses of $1,133,704 compared to property operating and maintenance expenses of $463,169 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Property operating and maintenance expenses consist of insurance, property management fees paid to third parties, repairs and maintenance costs, homeowner association fees, and other miscellaneous property costs. The increase in property operating and maintenance expenses from 2014 to 2015 reflects the corresponding increase in our inventory of single-family homes.

 

Real estate taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $546,702 compared to $219,531 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Again the increase is due to our increase in single-family homes owned during the period.

 

Acquisition costs totaled $362,447 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Acquisition costs consist of closing costs, due diligence costs and reports, and legal fees relating to our acquisitions of single-family homes along with auditing and accounting costs related to our reporting requirements related to our real estate portfolio acquisitions. Acquisitions costs totaled $295,122 during in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Depreciation and amortization of our investments in real estate increased to $848,587 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $430,325 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reflecting the corresponding increase in our inventory of single family homes.

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $1,379,431 compared to general and administrative expenses of $988,790 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, outside director fees, occupancy fees, public company filing fees, and other general expenses. The increase is due to increases in director fees, personnel costs, and occupancy costs as a result of our increase in operations.

 

Legal and accounting expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $311,970 compared to $219,661 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Interest expense on our notes payable was $517,009 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense consisted of interest on our loans of $15,049,125 from Silvergate Bank. Interest expense was $66,415 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As our first borrowing occurred in June of 2014, the interest expense in the prior period is reflective of our lower note balances outstanding during the period.

 

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1,497,658 as compared to a net loss of $966,255 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased to 7,016,796 from 5,610,265 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a net loss per share of $0.21 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss per share of $0.17 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

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 position at September 30, 2015 included $1,301,453 of cash and $181,177 of escrow deposits, for a total of $1,482,630. As of December 31, 2014, the cash balance was $3,343,236 and escrow deposits totaled $96,483, for a total liquidity position of $3,439,719. The decrease in liquidity position was caused primarily by our acquisition activity during the nine month period.

 

We believe our present working capital, and the expected cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund the present level of our operations over, at least, the next 12 months. 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. 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.

 

On October 14, 2015, we entered into a fourth loan transaction with Silvergate Bank where we received an additional $4,452,382 of loan proceeds and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $5,015,060, secured by deeds of trust encumbering 121 homes located in Florida. Proceeds totaling $562,678 are subject to a holdback agreement with the bank and will be released contingent on future home purchases. 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 4.25% per annum at September 30, 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 $3,057,000 of the proceeds were utilized to purchase 45 homes in the Jacksonville Florida metropolitan area also on October 14, 2015.

 

 

Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our operating activities provided $176,461 of cash. This resulted from adding back depreciation and amortization of $848,587, amortization of deferred loan fees of $68,094, and adding the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $757,438 to the net loss of $1,497,658.

 

We used $110,971 in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

 

Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we invested $5,388,544 in acquiring and improving homes, $115,279 in lease origination costs, and $84,694 in escrow deposits, resulting in $5,588,517 of cash used for investing activities.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used $9,808,865 of cash in investing activities to acquire and improve homes, $123,569 in lease origination costs, and $745,417 in escrow deposits, resulting in $10,677,851 of cash used for investing activities.

 

 

Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received $3,526,985 of loan proceeds per the terms of a promissory note due on April 5, 2020 secured by deeds of trust encumbering a majority of our homes located in the state of Florida. Loan costs totaled $137,172 and payments of stock issuance costs were $19,540 resulting in $3,370,273 of net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received $8,372,270 of proceeds from the issuance of common stock, paid $437,357 of common stock issuance costs, received $7,570,000 of note proceeds, and paid $266,503 of loan fees resulting in $15,238,410 of net cash provided by financing activities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, 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 September 30, 2015.  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 September 30, 2015
