The Series B Preferred Stock being offered will rank, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as our Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.067 per share each month; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.083 per month. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series B Preferred Stock is $10.00. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a call price equal to 150% of the original issue price of our Series B Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares. The Series B Preferred Stock will have no voting rights (except for certain matters) and are not convertible into shares of our Common Stock. See “Description of Securities” beginning on page 1 for additional details.

Our Company
 
Overview
 
We are a self-administered, self-managed, vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities.

We own and operate eight manufactured housing communities containing approximately 613 developed sites, and a total of 98 company-owned manufactured homes, including:
 
Pecan Grove – a 81 lot, all-age community situated on 10.71 acres and located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Manufactured Housing Community Industry
 
Manufactured housing communities are residential developments designed and improved for the placement of detached, single-family manufactured homes that are produced off-site and installed and set on residential sites within the community. The owner of a manufactured home leases the site on which it is located and the lessee of a manufactured home leases both the home and site on which the home is located.
 
We believe that manufactured housing is accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick-built single-family housing. We believe that the affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very attractive housing alternative. Manufactured housing is one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. Demand for housing affordability continues to increase, but supply remains static, as there are virtually no new manufactured housing communities being developed. We are committed to becoming an industry leader in providing this affordable housing option and an improved level of service to our residents, while producing an attractive and stable risk adjusted return to our investors.
 
A manufactured housing community is a land-lease community designed and improved with home sites for the placement of manufactured homes and includes related improvements and amenities. Each homeowner in a manufactured housing community leases from the community a site on which a home is located. The manufactured housing community owner owns the underlying land, utility connections, streets, lighting, driveways, common area amenities, and other capital improvements and is responsible for enforcement of community guidelines and maintenance of the community. Generally, each homeowner is responsible for the maintenance of his or her home and upkeep of his or her leased site. In some cases, customers may rent homes with the community owner’s maintaining ownership and responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the home. This option provides flexibility for customers seeking a more affordable, shorter-term housing option and enables the community owner to meet a broader demand for housing and improve occupancy and cash flow.

Our Competition
 
There are numerous private companies, but only three publicly-traded real estate investment trusts, or REITs, that compete in the manufactured housing industry.  Many of the private companies and one of the REITs, UMH Properties, Inc., may compete with us for acquisitions of manufactured housing communities. Many of these companies have larger operations and greater financial resources than we do. The number of competitors, however, is increasing as new entrants discover the benefits of the manufactured housing asset class. We believe that due to the fragmented nature of ownership within the manufactured housing sector, the level of competition is less than that in other commercial real estate sectors.
 
Our Competitive Strengths
 
We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively:
 
Deal Sourcing. Our deal sourcing consists of marketed deals, pocket listings, and off market deals.  Marketed deals are properties that are listed with a broker who exposes the property to the largest pool of buyers possible. Pocket listings are properties that are presented by brokers to a limited pool of buyers. Off market deals are ones that are not actively marketed.  As a result of our network of relationships in our industry, only two properties in our portfolio were marketed deals, the rest were off-market or pocket listings.   
 
Centralized Operations. We have centralized many operational tasks, including accounting, marketing, lease administration, and accounts payable.  The use of professional staff and technology allows us to scale efficiently and operate properties profitably by reducing tasks otherwise completed at the property level. 
 
Deal Size. We believe that our small capitalization size with non-institutional deals of less than 150 sites are accretive to our balance sheet.  These sized properties typically have less bidders at lower prices than larger properties.  We can profitably operate these smaller properties through our centralized operations.
 
Creating Value. Our underwriting expertise enables us to identify acquisition prospects to provide attractive risk adjusted returns.  Our operational team has the experience, skill and resources to create this value through physical and/or operational property improvements.
 
Our Growth Strategy
 
Our growth strategy is to acquire both stable and undervalued and underperforming manufactured housing properties that have current income. We believe that we can enhance value through our professional asset and property management. Our property management services are mainly comprised of tenant contracts and leasing, marketing vacancies, community maintenance, enforcement of community policies, establishment and collection rent, and payment of vendors. Our lot and manufactured home leases are generally for one month and auto renew monthly for an additional month.
 
Our investment mission on behalf of our stockholders is to deliver an attractive risk-adjusted return with a focus on value creation, capital preservation, and growth. In our ongoing search for acquisition opportunities we target and evaluate manufactured housing communities nationwide.
 
We may invest in improved and unimproved real property and may develop unimproved real property. These property investments may be located throughout the United States, but to date we have concentrated in the Southeast portion of the United States. We are focused on acquiring communities with significant upside potential and leveraging our expertise to build long-term capital appreciation.
 
We are one of four public companies in the manufactured housing sector, but we are the only one not organized as a REIT, thereby giving us flexibility to focus on growth through reinvestment of income and employing higher leverage upon acquisition than the REITs traditionally utilize due to market held norms around 50-60%. This can give us a competitive advantage when bidding for assets. Additionally, due to our small size, non-institutional sized deals of less than 150 sites, which have less bidders and lower prices, are accretive to our balance sheet.

Our Risks and Challenges
 
Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similar companies. Our ability to realize our business objectives and execute our strategies is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following:
 
General economic conditions and the concentration of our properties in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee may affect our ability to generate sufficient revenue.
 
We may be unable to compete with our larger competitors, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability.
 
Costs associated with taxes and regulatory compliance may reduce our revenue.
 
Rent control legislation may harm our ability to increase rents.
 
Environmental liabilities could affect our profitability.
 
Losses in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured losses could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
We may not be able to integrate or finance our acquisitions and our acquisitions may not perform as expected.
 
New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative impact on our operations.
 
We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.
 
We face risks generally associated with our debt.
 
We face risks related to “balloon payments” and re-financings.
 
Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition.
 
A change in the United States government policy regarding to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) could impact our financial condition.
 
We may not be able to obtain adequate cash to fund our business.
 
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We have one stockholder that can single-handedly control our company.
 
There is no present market for the Series B Preferred Stock and we have arbitrarily set the price.
 
We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends.
 
You will not have a vote or influence on the management of our company.
 
In addition, we face other risks and uncertainties that may materially affect our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. You should consider the risks discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this offering circular before investing in our Series B Preferred Stock.
 
Recent Developments
 
During the first quarter of 2019, we entered into agreements to acquire the assets of three manufactured housing communities totaling approximately $10,715,000.
 
In April 2019, we completed the first acquisition of the Hunt Club Forest community described above for a purchase price of $2,211,570.
 
In May 2019, we completed the second acquisition of the B&D community described above for a purchase price of $2,500,000.
 
We expect to close the remaining acquisition in the second quarter of 2019.

Emerging Growth Company
 
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
 
have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
 
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
 
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
 
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
 
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
 
We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

The Offering 
 
 
 
Securities being offered:
 
 
Up to 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for a maximum offering amount of $10,000,000.
 
 
 
Terms of Series B Preferred Stock:
 
 
Ranking - The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock will not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series B Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
 
Dividend Rate and Payment Dates -  Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock being offered will be cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.067 per share each month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share described below; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.083 per month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 10% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share described below. Dividends on shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.
 
Liquidation Preference - The liquidation preference for each share of our Series B Preferred Stock is $10.00. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares.
 
Company Call and Stockholder Put Options - Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a call price equal to 150% of the original issue price of our Series B Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares.
 
Further Issuances - The shares of our Series B Preferred Stock have no maturity date, and we will not be required to redeem shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at any time except as otherwise described above under the caption “Company Call and Stockholder Put Options.” Accordingly, the shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our call right, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock exercises his put right.
 
Voting Rights - We may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend our articles of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.
 
No Conversion Right - The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of our Common Stock.

Procedures for Subscribing through Cambria Capital, the My IPO Platform or Other Broker-Dealers.
 
Cambria Capital is an SEC registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Cambria Capital has been appointed by us and Digital Offering, our managing broker-dealer, as a soliciting dealer for this offering. Cambria Capital operates the My IPO platform as a separate unincorporated business division. Cambria Capital’s clearing firm, who we refer to as the Clearing Firm, is an SEC registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC and is authorized to act as a clearing broker-dealer. Cambria Capital and its My IPO division clear through the Clearing Firm as do other broker-dealers who may participate in this offering. We refer to such other broker-dealers that clear through the Clearing Firm and who may participate in this offering as Other Broker-Dealers.
 
Prospective investors investing through Cambria Capital, My IPO or Other Broker-Dealers will acquire shares of our Series B Preferred Stock through book-entry order by opening an account with Cambria Capital, My IPO, or an Other Broker-Dealer, or by utilizing an existing Cambria Capital account, My IPO account or account with an Other Broker-Dealer. In each such case, the account will be an account owned by the investor and held at the Clearing Firm, as the clearing firm for the exclusive benefit of such investor. The investor will also be required to complete and submit a subscription agreement. Subscriptions for shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired through an account at Cambria Capital, My IPO or an Other Broker-Dealer are all processed online.
 
The process for investing through Cambria Capital, My IPO or through Other Broker-Dealers will work in the following manner. The Clearing Firm will enter into a custody agreement with us pursuant to which we will issue uncertificated securities to be held at the Clearing Firm, and the shares of Series B Preferred stock held at the Clearing Firm will be reflected as an omnibus position on our records and the transfer agent's records in the name of the Clearing Firm, for the exclusive benefit of customers. We will open a brokerage account with the Clearing Firm and the Clearing Firm will hold the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be sold in the offering in book-entry form in our company’s Clearing Firm account. When the shares of Series B Preferred stock are sold, the Clearing Firm maintains a record of each investor's ownership interest in those securities. Under an SEC no-action letter provided to the Clearing Firm in January 2015, the Clearing Firm is allowed to treat the issuer as a good control location pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3(c)(7) under these circumstances. The customer's funds will not be transferred into a separate account awaiting the initial closing, or any other closing, but will remain in the customer's account at the Clearing Firm pending instructions to release funds to us if all conditions necessary for a closing are met.
 
In order to subscribe to purchase the shares of Series B Preferred Stock through Cambria Capital, My IPO or through an Other Broker-Dealer, a prospective investor must electronically complete and execute a subscription agreement and provide payment using the procedures indicated below. When submitting the subscription request through Cambria Capital, My IPO or an Other Broker-Dealer, a prospective investor is required to agree to various terms and conditions by checking boxes and to review and electronically sign any necessary documents. We will not accept any subscription agreements prior to the SEC’s qualification of this offering.
 
After any contingencies of the offering or any particular closing are met, we will notify the Clearing Firm when we wish to conduct a closing. The Clearing Firm executes the closing by transferring each investor's funds from their Cambria Capital, My IPO or Other Broker-Dealer accounts to our Clearing Firm account and transferring the correct number of book-entry shares to each investor’s account from our Clearing Firm account. The shares are then reflected in the investor's online account and shown on the investor's Cambria Capital, My IPO or Other Broker-Dealer account statements. Cambria Capital, My IPO and Other Broker-Dealers will also send trade confirmations individually to the investors.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our Series B Preferred Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully read and consider all of the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained or referred to in this offering circular, before making an investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following events occur, our financial condition, business and results of operations (including cash flows) may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the value of your Series B Preferred Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
Real Estate Industry Risks
 
General economic conditions and the concentration of our properties in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee may affect our ability to generate sufficient revenue.
 
The market and economic conditions in our current markets may significantly affect manufactured housing occupancy or rental rates. Occupancy and rental rates, in turn, may significantly affect our revenues, and if our communities do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, current cash flow and ability to pay or refinance our debt obligations could be adversely affected. As a result of the current geographic concentration of our properties in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, we are exposed to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real estate market conditions that could adversely affect occupancy rates, rental rates, and property values in these markets.
 
Other factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include:
 
the national and local economic climate which may be adversely affected by, among other factors, plant closings, and industry slowdowns;
 
local real estate market conditions such as the oversupply of manufactured home sites or a reduction in demand for manufactured home sites in an area;
 
the number of repossessed homes in a particular market;
 
the lack of an established dealer network;
 
the rental market which may limit the extent to which rents may be increased to meet increased expenses without decreasing occupancy rates;
 
the safety, convenience and attractiveness of our properties and the neighborhoods where they are located;
 
zoning or other regulatory restrictions;
 
competition from other available manufactured housing communities and alternative forms of housing (such as apartment buildings and single-family homes);
 
our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance;
 
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities; and
 
the enactment of rent control laws or laws taxing the owners of manufactured homes.
 
Our income would also be adversely affected if tenants were unable to pay rent or if sites were unable to be rented on favorable terms. If we were unable to promptly renew the leases for a significant number of sites, or if the rental rates upon such renewal or reletting were significantly lower than expected rates, then our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, certain expenditures associated with each property (such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs) generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.
 
 
10
 
 
We may be unable to compete with our larger competitors, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability.
 
The real estate business is highly competitive. We compete for manufactured housing community investments with numerous other real estate entities, such as individuals, corporations, REITs, and other enterprises engaged in real estate activities. In many cases, the competing concerns may be larger and better financed than we are, making it difficult for us to secure new manufactured housing community investments. Competition among private and institutional purchasers of manufactured housing community investments has led to increases in the purchase prices paid for manufactured housing communities and consequent higher fixed costs. To the extent we are unable to effectively compete in the marketplace, our business may be adversely affected.
 
Costs associated with taxes and regulatory compliance may reduce our revenue.
 
We are subject to significant regulation that inhibits our activities and may increase our costs. Local zoning and use laws, environmental statutes and other governmental requirements may restrict expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. These regulations may prevent us from taking advantage of economic opportunities. Legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act may require us to modify our properties at a substantial cost and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Future legislation may impose additional requirements. We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted or amended or what costs we will incur to comply with such requirements. Costs resulting from changes in real estate laws, income taxes, service or other taxes may adversely affect our funds from operations and our ability to pay or refinance our debt. Similarly, changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
Rent control legislation may harm our ability to increase rents.
 
State and local rent control laws in certain jurisdictions may limit our ability to increase rents and to recover increases in operating expenses and the costs of capital improvements. We may purchase additional properties in markets that are either subject to rent control or in which rent-limiting legislation exists or may be enacted.
 
Our investments are concentrated in the manufactured housing/residential sector and our business would be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector.
 
Our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the manufactured housing/residential sector. This concentration may expose us to the risk of economic downturns.
 
Environmental liabilities could affect our profitability.
 
Under various federal, state and local laws, as well as local ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances at, on, under or in such property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous substances. A conveyance of the property, therefore, does not relieve the owner or operator from liability. As a current or former owner and operator of real estate, we may be required by law to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at or from the properties we currently own or operate or have in the past owned or operated. We may also be liable to the government or to third parties for property damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the contamination. Contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility owned or operated by another person. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for the management and disposal of asbestos-containing materials and for the release of such materials into the air. These laws may provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials. In connection with the ownership, operation, management, and development of real properties, we may be considered an owner or operator of such properties and, therefore, are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, and also may be liable for governmental fines and injuries to persons and property. When we arrange for the treatment or disposal of hazardous substances at landfills or other facilities owned by other persons, we may be liable for the removal or remediation costs at such facilities. We are not aware of any environmental liabilities relating to our investment properties that would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, or results of operations. However, we cannot assure you that environmental liabilities will not arise in the future and that such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operation.

Of the seven manufactured housing communities we currently operate, four are on well and septic systems. At these locations, we are subject to compliance with monthly, quarterly and yearly testing for contaminants as outlined by each state’s Department of Environmental Protection Agencies. Currently, we are not subject to radon or asbestos monitoring requirements.
 
Additionally, in connection with the management of the properties or upon acquisition or financing of a property, we authorize the preparation of Phase I or similar environmental reports (which involves general inspections without soil sampling or ground water analysis) completed by independent environmental consultants. Based on such environmental reports and our ongoing review of its properties, as of the date of this offering circular, we are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. These reports, however, cannot reflect conditions arising after the studies were completed, and no assurances can be given that existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of a property or neighboring owner or operator did not create any material environmental condition not known to us, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist with respect to any one property or more than one property.
 
Actions by our competitors may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties which could adversely affect our business.
 
We compete with other owners and operators of manufactured housing community properties, some of whom own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. The number of competitive manufactured housing community properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease sites and increase rents charged at our properties or at any newly acquired properties. In addition, other forms of multi-family residential properties, such as private and federally funded or assisted multi-family housing projects and single-family housing, provide housing alternatives to potential tenants of manufactured housing communities. If our competitors offer housing at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire. As a result, our financial condition, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.
 
Losses in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured losses could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
We generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies covering business operations, employees and assets. However, we may be required to bear all losses that are not adequately covered by insurance. In addition, there are certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to riots or acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated profits and cash flow from the properties and, in the case of debt that carries recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the properties. Although we believe that our insurance programs are adequate, no assurance can be given that we will not incur losses in excess of its insurance coverage, or that we will be able to obtain insurance in the future at acceptable levels and reasonable cost.
 
We may not be able to integrate or finance our acquisitions and our acquisitions may not perform as expected.
 
We acquire and intend to continue to acquire manufactured housing communities on a select basis. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
 
we may be unable to acquire a desired property because of competition from other well capitalized real estate investors, including both publicly traded REITs and institutional investment funds;
 
even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, it is usually subject to customary conditions for closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction, which may not be satisfied;
 
even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price;
 
we may be unable to finance acquisitions on favorable terms;
 
acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;
 
 
12
 
 
acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
 
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations.
 
If any of the above were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
In addition, we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were to be asserted against us based on ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative impact on our operations.
 
We intend to continue to acquire manufactured housing communities. However, newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected and could pose risks for our ongoing operations including the following:
 
integration may prove costly or time-consuming and may divert management’s attention from the management of daily operations;
 
difficulties or an inability to access capital or increases in financing costs;
 
we may incur costs and expenses associated with any undisclosed or potential liabilities;
 
unforeseen difficulties may arise in integrating an acquisition into our portfolio;
 
expected synergies may not materialize; and
 
we may acquire properties in new markets where we face risks associated with lack of market knowledge such as understanding of the local economy, the local governmental and/or local permit procedures.
 
As a result of the foregoing, we may not accurately estimate or identify all costs necessary to bring an acquired manufactured housing communities up to standards established for our intended market position. As such, we cannot provide assurance that any acquisition that we make will be accretive to us in the near term or at all. Furthermore, if we fail to realize the intended benefits of an acquisition, it may have a negative impact on our operations.
 
Development and expansion properties may fail to perform as expected and the intended benefits may not be realized, which could have a negative impact on our operations.
 
We may periodically consider development and expansion activities, which are subject to risks such as construction costs exceeding original estimates and construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased construction costs and lower than expected revenues. Additionally, there can be no assurance that these properties will operate better as a result of development or expansion activities due to various factors, including lower than anticipated occupancy and rental rates causing a property to be unprofitable or less profitable than originally estimated.
 
We regularly expend capital to maintain, repair and renovate our properties, which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may, or we may be required to, from time to time make significant capital expenditures to maintain or enhance the competitiveness of our manufactured housing communities. There can be no assurances that any such expenditures would result in higher occupancy or higher rental rates.
 
 
13
 
 
We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.
 
Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly and, therefore, will tend to limit our ability to vary our property portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions to our stockholders.
 
Financing Risks
 
We face risks generally associated with our debt.
 
We finance a portion of our investments in properties through debt. As of the December 31, 2018, our total long-term indebtedness for borrowed money was $12,432,026. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. In addition, debt creates other risks, including:
 
failure to repay or refinance existing debt as it matures, which may result in forced disposition of assets on disadvantageous terms;
 
refinancing terms less favorable than the terms of existing debt; and
 
failure to meet required payments of principal and/or interest.
 
We face risks related to “balloon payments” and re-financings.
 
Certain of our mortgages will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as “balloon payments.” As of December 31, 2018, our total future minimum principal payments were $12,731,292. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance the debt on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we cannot refinance debt on favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, either of which would have an adverse impact on our financial performance and ability to service debt and make distributions.
  
We may become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and an increase in debt service requirements that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.
 
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. We could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
 
Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition.
 
The terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If we were to default under our credit agreements, our financial condition would be adversely affected.
 
A change in the United States government policy regarding to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) could impact our financial condition.
 
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are a major source of financing for the manufactured housing real estate sector. We could depend on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to finance growth by purchasing or guarantying manufactured housing community loans. In February 2011, the Obama Administration released a report to Congress that included options, among others, to gradually shrink and eventually shut down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We do not know when or if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will restrict their support of lending to our real estate sector or to us in particular. A final decision by the government to eliminate Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or reduce their acquisitions or guarantees of our mortgage loans, may adversely affect interest rates, capital availability and our ability to refinance our existing mortgage obligations as they come due and obtain additional long-term financing for the acquisition of additional communities on favorable terms or at all.
 
 
14
 
 
Other Risks
 
We may not be able to obtain adequate cash to fund our business.
 
Our business requires access to adequate cash to finance our operations, distributions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, development and redevelopment costs and property acquisition costs, if any. We expect to generate the cash to be used for these purposes primarily with operating cash flow, borrowings under secured and unsecured loans, proceeds from sales of strategically identified assets and, when market conditions permit, through the issuance of debt and equity securities from time to time. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to fund our business, particularly if we are unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire according to our expectations.
 
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our auditors have indicated in their report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and substantial decline in our working capital. A “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of equity, incurring debt, or other financing alternatives. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the availability and terms of future funding, and continued growth in operating activities.
 
Disruptions in financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on us and the market price of our securities.
 
Since 2008, the United States stock and credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market prices of many stocks and debt securities to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. War in certain Middle Eastern countries, the slowing of the Chinese economy and the recent decline in petroleum prices, among other factors, have added to the uncertainty in the capital markets. Uncertainty in the stock and credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our ability to acquire properties and otherwise pursue our investment strategy. A prolonged downturn in the stock or credit markets may cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and may require us to adjust our investment strategy accordingly. These types of events in the stock and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of the Common Stock, preferred stock or debt securities. The potential disruptions in the financial markets may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our securities, and the return we receive on our properties and investments, as well as other unknown adverse effects on us or the economy in general.
 
We have one stockholder that can single-handedly control our company.
 
Our largest stockholder is Gvest Real Estate Capital LLC, an entity whose sole owner is Raymond M. Gee, the Chairman of our board of directors and our president and chief executive officer. At present, Gvest Real Estate Capital owns 67.04% of our total issued and outstanding Common Stock. Under Nevada law, this ownership position provides Mr. Gee with the almost unrestricted ability to control the business, management and strategic direction of our company. If Mr. Gee choses to exercise this control, his decisions regarding our company could be detrimental to, or not in the best interests of our company and its other stockholders.
 
We are dependent on key personnel.
 
Our executive and other senior officers have a significant role in our success. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract suitable replacements should any members of the management group leave depends on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flow. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.
 
 
15
 
 
Our management is inexperienced in running a public entity. 
 
With the exception of Michael Z. Anise, our chief financial officer and a director, our management does not have prior experience with the operation and management of a public entity. As a result, they will be learning as they proceed and may be forced to rely more heavily on the expertise of outside professionals than they might otherwise, which in turn could lead to higher legal and accounting costs and possible securities law compliance issues.
 
We may amend our business policies without stockholder approval.
 
Our board of directors determines our growth, investment, financing, capitalization, borrowing, operations and distributions policies. Although our board of directors has no intention at present to change or reverse any of these policies, they may be amended or revised without notice to stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders may not have control over changes in our policies. We cannot assure you that changes in our policies will serve fully the interests of all stockholders.
 
Future terrorist attacks and military conflicts could have a material adverse effect on general economic conditions, consumer confidence and market liquidity.
 
Among other things, it is possible that interest rates may be affected by these events. An increase in interest rates may increase our costs of borrowing, leading to a reduction in our earnings. Terrorist acts affecting our properties could also result in significant damages to, or loss of, our properties. Additionally, we may be unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable economic terms for losses resulting from acts of terrorism. Our lenders may require that we carry terrorism insurance even if we do not believe that this insurance is necessary or cost effective. Should an act of terrorism result in an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits, we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types would adversely affect our financial condition.
 
We are subject to risks arising from litigation.
 
We may become involved in litigation. Litigation can be costly, and the results of litigation are often difficult to predict. We may not have adequate insurance coverage or contractual protection to cover costs and liability in the event we are sued, and to the extent we resort to litigation to enforce our rights, we may incur significant costs and ultimately be unsuccessful or unable to recover amounts we believe are owed to us. We may have little or no control of the timing of litigation, which presents challenges to our strategic planning.
 
Geographic concentration of our current property portfolio.
 
The properties we own at present are located in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The market and economic conditions in our current markets may significantly affect manufactured housing occupancy or rental rates. Occupancy and rental rates, in turn, may significantly affect our revenues, and if our communities do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to pay or refinance our debt obligations could be adversely affected. As a result of the current geographic concentration of our properties, we are exposed to the risks of downturns in the local economy or other local real estate market conditions which could adversely affect occupancy rates, rental rates, and property values in these markets.
 
We face risks relating to the property management services that we provide.
 
There are inherent risks in our providing property management services to the manufactured housing communities on the properties that we own. The more significant of these risks include:
 
Our possible liability for personal injury or property damage suffered by our employees and third parties, including our tenants, that are not fully covered by our insurance;
 
Our possible inability to keep our manufactured housing communities at or near full occupancy;
 
Our possible inability to attract and keep responsible tenants
 
Our possible inability to expediently remove “bad” tenants from our communities
 
Our possible inability to timely and satisfactorily deal with complaints of our tenants;
 
Our possible inability to locate, hire and retain qualified property management personnel; and
 
Our possible inability to adequately control expenses with respect to our properties.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Series B Preferred Stock
 
There is no present market for the Series B Preferred Stock and we have arbitrarily set the price.
 
We have arbitrarily set the price of the Series B Preferred Stock with reference to the general status of the securities market and other relevant factors. The offering price for the Series B Preferred Stock should not be considered an indication of the actual value of such securities and is not based on our net worth or prior earnings. Although our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace, our Series B Preferred Stock will not be eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter market. Accordingly, it will be very difficult for you to liquidate your shares of Series B Preferred Stock and we cannot assure you that the such securities could be resold by you at the price you paid for them or at any other price.
 
We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends.
 
Our ability to pay dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations and the operations of our subsidiaries. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay dividends as required by the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock.
 
We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the value of the Series B Preferred Stock.
 
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets before distributions to our shareholders. Any preferred securities, if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation that is senior to the preference of the Series B Preferred Stock, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.
 
Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, we can change our leverage strategy from time to time without approval of holders of our preferred stock or Common Stock, which could materially adversely affect the value of our preferred stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock.
 
You will not have a vote or influence on the management of our company.
 
All decisions with respect to the management of our company will be made exclusively by the officers, directors, managers or employees of our company. You, as an investor in our Series B Preferred Stock, have very limited voting rights and will have no ability to vote on issues of company management and will not have the right or power to take part in the management of the company and will not be represented on the board of directors of our company. Accordingly, no person should purchase our Series B Preferred Stock unless he or she is willing to entrust all aspects of management to our company.

As of the date of this offering circular and except as explicitly set forth herein, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we may invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing investment grade instruments.
 
The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.
 
The above description of the anticipated use of proceeds is not binding on us and is merely description of our current intentions. We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of our company.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
There is no trading market for our Series B Preferred Stock and we do not expect any trading market to develop for the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock was sold at par and it is expected that after the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering we will either exercise our right to call the Series B Preferred Stock for redemption at a call price equal to 150% of par (i.e., of the original issue price of the Series B Preferred Stock) or that holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will exercise their right to put their shares of Series B Preferred Stock to us at 150% of par. Accordingly, the $10.00 price per share of Series B Preferred Stock is arbitrary and represents the amount of investment made by an investor for purposes of determining the redemption price upon a put or call (i.e., the redemption price will be 150% of the purchase price or $15.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock).

DIVIDEND POLICY
 
Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock being offered will be cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.067 per share each month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.083 per month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 10% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.
 
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8% of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.
 
We have never declared dividends or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. Our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our plans and financial condition. The following selected financial information is derived from our historical financial statements should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” explanation included herein.
 
Overview
 
We are a self-administered, self-managed, vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. We earn income from leasing manufactured home sites to tenants who own their manufactured home and the rental of company-owned manufactured homes to residents of the communities.
 
We originally incorporated in the State of Nevada as Frontier Staffing, Inc. on September 3, 2003. Since our incorporation, we have experienced several name changes and have been engaged in several different business endeavors. On October 12, 2017, Mobile Home Rental Holdings LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, which engaged in acquiring and operating manufactured housing properties, merged with and into our company. In connection with the merger, the name of our company was changed to Manufactured Housing Properties Inc., the former business and management of Mobile Home Rental Holdings LLC became the business and management, respectively of our company.
 
As of December 31, 2018, we owned and operated seven manufactured housing communities containing approximately 440 developed sites, and a total of 97 company-owned manufactured homes. The communities are located in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
 
Our Business Strategy
 
Our business strategy is to acquire both stable and undervalued and underperforming manufactured housing properties that have current income. We believe that we can enhance value through our professional asset and property management. Our investment mission on behalf of our stockholders is to deliver an attractive risk adjusted return with a focus on value creation, capital preservation, and growth. In our ongoing search for acquisition opportunities we target and evaluate manufactured housing communities nationwide.
 
We are one of four public companies that acquire, own, manage and operate communities in the manufactured housing sector, but we are the only one not organized as a REIT, thereby giving us flexibility to focus on growth through reinvestment of income and employing higher leverage upon acquisition than the REITs traditionally utilize due to market held norms around 50 % to 60%. This can give us a competitive advantage when bidding for assets. Additionally, due to our small size, non institutional sized deals of less than 150 sites, which have less bidders and lower prices, are accretive to our balance sheet.
 
Recent Developments
 
During the first quarter of 2019, we entered into agreements to acquire the assets of three manufactured housing communities totaling approximately $10,715,000. The three transactions will be accounted for as asset acquisitions.
 
In April 2019, we completed the first acquisition of Hunt Club Forest manufactured housing community for a purchase price of $2,211,570. The 79-pad property is located in the Columbia, SC metro area.
 
In May 2019, we completed the second acquisition of B&D manufactured housing community for a purchase price of $2,500,000. The 97-pad property is located in Chester, SC.
 
We expect to close the remaining acquisition in the second quarter of 2019.
 
In March of 2019, we refinanced a total of $4,920,750 from our current loans payable to $8,241,609 of new notes payable from five of our seven existing communities, resulting in an additional loan payable of $3,320,859. We used the additional loans payable proceeds from the refinance to retire our Convertible Note Payable of $2,754,550 plus accrued interest. $4,573,000 of the total $8,241,609, representing the refinancing portion for Azalea, Holly Faye, and Pecan Grove required a personal guarantee from our chief executive officer.
 
In January 2019, we agreed to acquire the 25% minority interest in Pecan Grove from a related party, and we issued 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to Gvest Real Estate for the minority interest acquisition which were valued at the historical cost value of $537,502.

Revenues
 
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had total revenues of $2,000,312, as compared to $689,788 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $1,310,524. The increase in revenues between the periods was primarily due to an average 10% increase in occupancy and rates, and the acquisition of five manufactured housing communities during the fourth quarter of 2017 (one manufactured housing community was acquired during the first quarter of 2017). During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded $4,000 of property management revenues from a related party, and $21,000 from the sale of two manufactured homes for cash.
 
Expenses
 
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had total expenses of $3,242,653, as compared to $1,175,121 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $2,067,532. Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 consisted of community operating expenses of $676,381, corporate payroll and overhead expenses of $1,030,527, depreciation and amortization expense of $534,290 and interest expense of $1,001,455, while total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 consisted of community operating expenses of $271,330, corporate payroll and overhead expenses of $184,754, depreciation and amortization expense of $162,680, interest expense of $251,798 and reorganization costs of $304,559.
 
Community Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had total community operating expenses of $676,381, or 34% of revenues, as compared to $271,330, or 39% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $405,051. The increase in community operating expenses between the periods was primarily due to the ramp up of operations from our acquisitions of five manufactured housing communities acquired during the fourth quarter of 2017.
 
Corporate Payroll and Overhead Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had corporate payroll and overhead expenses of $1,030,527, or 52% or revenues, as compared to $184,754, or 27% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $845,773. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our corporate payroll and overhead expenses were mainly comprised of payroll expenses of $588,646, stock-based compensation expense of $171,569, and audit and legal fees of $193,957. Corporate payroll and overhead increased as we hired additional employees to support the five acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2017 and to support growth and future acquisitions, as well as due to additional legal and audit costs related to our reverse merger transaction and acquisitions, and stock-based compensation issued to consultant.
 
Interest Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had interest expense of $1,001,455, as compared to $251,798 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $749,657. The increase in interest expense was due to additional debt incurred related to the five acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2017, and an increase in imputed interest of $37,207.
 
 
24
 
 
Net Loss
 
The factors described above resulted in a net loss of $1,296,393 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $506,087 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, acquisitions, capital improvements, development and expansions of properties, debt service, and purchases of manufactured home inventory and rental homes.
 
In addition to cash generated through operations, we use a variety of sources to fund our cash needs, including acquisitions. We intend to continue to increase our real estate investments. Our business plan includes acquiring communities that yield in excess of our cost of funds and then investing in physical improvements, including adding rental homes onto otherwise vacant sites. Our ability to continue acquiring communities are dependent on our ability to raise capital. There is no guarantee that any of these additional opportunities will materialize or that we will be able to take advantage of such opportunities. The growth of our real estate portfolio depends on the availability of suitable properties which meet our investment criteria and appropriate financing.
 
Our working capital has been provided by our operating activities and our related party note. As of December 31, 2018, the related party entity with a common ownership to our president loaned us $890,632 for costs related to reorganization cost and working capital. The related party note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal payments are deferred to maturity date for a total credit line of $1.5 million. Except our line of credit, generally, our promissory notes on our acquisitions range from 4.5% to 7.0% with 20 to 25 years principal amortization. Two of the promissory notes had an initial 6 months period on interest only payments. The line of credit is interest only payment based of 10%, and 8% deferred till maturity to be paid with principal balance. We plan to meet our short-term liquidity requirements of approximately $1,053,174 for the next twelve months, generally through available cash as well as net cash provided by new acquisitions, operating activities, and availability under our existing related party note of $890,632. We also have availability from our lenders under our loan agreements for capital expenditure needs on our acquisitions. We expect these resources to help us meet operating working capital requirements. The ability of our company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes.
 
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Significant accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgment and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies are affected by our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
25
 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We follow Topic 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) Identify the Contract with a Customer, (2) Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract, (3) Determine the Transaction Price, (4) Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract, and (5) Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligation. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was no impact to revenues as a result of applying ASU 2014-09 for year ended December 31, 2018, and there have not been any significant changes to our business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. We recognize rental income revenues on a monthly basis based on the terms of the lease agreement which are for either the land or a combination of both, the mobile home and land. Home sales revenues are recognized upon the sale of a home with an executed sales agreement. We have deferred revenues from home lease purchase options and records those option fees as deferred revenues and then records them as revenues when (1) the lease purchase option term is completed and title has been transferred, or (2) the leaseholder defaults on the lease terms resulting in a termination of the agreement which allows us to keep any payments as liquidated damages.
 
Real Estate Investments
 
We apply FASB ASC 360-10, Property, Plant & Equipment to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded.
 
Upon acquisition of a property, we apply ASC 805, Business Combinations, and allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements and rental homes. We allocate the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.
 
We conducted a comprehensive review of all real estate asset classes in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-21, which indicates that asset values should be analyzed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. The process entailed the analysis of property for instances where the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. We utilize the experience and knowledge of its internal valuation team to derive certain assumptions used to determine an operating property’s cash flow. Such assumptions include lease-up rates, rental rates, rental growth rates, and capital expenditures. We reviewed our operating properties in light of the requirements of ASC 360-10 and determined that, as of December 31, 2018, the undiscounted cash flows over the holding period for these properties were in excess of their carrying values and, therefore, no impairment charges were required.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these consolidated 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
Our significant accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the consolidated financial statements were the estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity and derivative instruments. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
 
 
26
 
 
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
 
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuing equity-based transactions, valuation of deferred tax assets, depreciable lives of property and equipment and valuation of investment property.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
All stock-based payments to employees, non-employee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period. Stock-based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are non-forfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
We follow paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments and Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award are subject to the guidance on modification accounting under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. Entities would apply the modification accounting guidance unless the value, vesting requirements and classification of a share-based payment award are the same immediately before and after a change to the terms or conditions of the award. ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income -Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.” ASU 2017-05 provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers, unless other specific guidance applies. The standard requires a company to derecognize nonfinancial assets once it transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset. Additionally, when a company transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, we are required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. The guidance requires companies to recognize a full gain or loss on the transaction. As a result of the new guidance, the guidance specific to real estate sales in ASC 360-20 will be eliminated. As such, sales and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. We have evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We believe that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
27
 
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this Update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the good or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

OUR BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
We are a self-administered, self-managed, vertically integrated owner and operator of manufactured housing communities. We earn income from leasing manufactured home sites to tenants who own their own manufactured home and the rental of company-owned manufactured homes to residents of the communities.
 
As of December 31, 2018, we owned and operated seven manufactured housing communities containing approximately 440 developed sites, and a total of 97 company-owned manufactured homes. The communities are located in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
 
The Manufactured Housing Community Industry
 
Manufactured housing communities are residential developments designed and improved for the placement of detached, single-family manufactured homes that are produced off-site and installed and set on residential sites within the community. The owner of a manufactured home leases the site on which it is located and the lessee of a manufactured home leases both the home and site on which the home is located.
 
We believe that manufactured housing is accepted by the public as a viable and economically attractive alternative to common stick-built single-family housing. We believe that the affordability of the modern manufactured home makes it a very attractive housing alternative. Manufactured housing is one of the only non-subsidized affordable housing options in the U.S. Demand for housing affordability continues to increase, but supply remains static, as there are virtually no new manufactured housing communities being developed. We are committed to becoming an industry leader in providing this affordable housing option and an improved level of service to our residents, while producing an attractive and stable risk adjusted return to our investors.
 
A manufactured housing community is a land-lease community designed and improved with home sites for the placement of manufactured homes and includes related improvements and amenities. Each homeowner in a manufactured housing community leases from the community a site on which a home is located. The manufactured housing community owner owns the underlying land, utility connections, streets, lighting, driveways, common area amenities, and other capital improvements and is responsible for enforcement of community guidelines and maintenance of the community. Generally, each homeowner is responsible for the maintenance of his or her home and upkeep of his or her leased site. In some cases, customers may rent homes with the community owner’s maintaining ownership and responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the home. This option provides flexibility for customers seeking a more affordable, shorter-term housing option and enables the community owner to meet a broader demand for housing and improve occupancy and cash flow.
 
We believe that manufactured housing communities have several characteristics that make them an attractive investment when compared to certain other types of real estate, particularly multifamily, including:
 
Significant Barriers to Entry. We believe that the supply of new manufactured housing communities will be constrained due to significant barriers to entry in the industry, including: (i) various zoning restrictions and negative zoning biases against manufactured housing communities; (ii) substantial upfront costs associated with the development of infrastructure, amenities and other offsite improvements required by various governmental agencies, and (iii) a significant length of time before lease-up and revenues can commence.
 
Diminishing Supply. Supply is decreasing due to redevelopment of older parks.
 
Large Demographic Group of Potential Customers. We consider households earning between $25,000 and $50,000 per year to be our core customer base. This demographic group represents about 43 percent of overall U.S. households, according to 2016 U.S. Census data.
 
Stable Resident Base. We believe that manufactured housing communities tend to achieve and maintain a stable rate of occupancy, due to the following factors: (i) residents generally own their own homes; moving a manufactured home from one community to another involves substantial cost and effort and often results in the abandonment of on-site improvements made by the resident such as decks, garages, carports, and landscaping; and (iii) residents enjoy a sense of community inherent in manufactured housing communities similar to residential subdivisions.
 
 
30
 
 
Fragmented Ownership of Communities. Manufactured housing community ownership in the United States is highly fragmented, with a majority of manufactured housing communities owned by individuals. The top five manufactured housing community owners control approximately 7% of manufactured housing community home sites.
 
Low Recurring Capital Requirements. Although manufactured housing community owners are responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of the community, each homeowner is responsible for the upkeep of his or her own home and home site, thereby reducing the manufactured housing community owner’s ongoing maintenance expenses and capital requirements.
 
Affordable Homeowner Lifestyle. Manufactured housing communities offer an affordable lifestyle typically unavailable in apartments, including lack of common walls, a yard for each resident, the ability to park by the front door, and a sense of community.
 
Competition
 
There are numerous private companies, but only three publicly-traded REITs that compete in the manufactured housing industry.  Many of the private companies and one of the REITs, UMH Properties, Inc., may compete with us for acquisitions of manufactured housing communities. Many of these companies have larger operations and greater financial resources than we do. The number of competitors, however, is increasing as new entrants discover the benefits of the manufactured housing asset class. We believe that due to the fragmented nature of ownership within the manufactured housing sector, the level of competition is less than that in other commercial real estate sectors.
 
Competitive Strengths
 
We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively:
 
Deal Sourcing. Our deal sourcing consists of marketed deals, pocket listings, and off market deals.  Marketed deals are properties that are listed with a broker who exposes the property to the largest pool of buyers possible. Pocket listings are properties that are presented by brokers to a limited pool of buyers. Off market deals are ones that are not actively marketed.  As a result of our network of relationships in our industry, only two properties in our portfolio were marketed deals, the rest were off-market or pocket listings.   
 
Centralized Operations. We have centralized many operational tasks, including accounting, marketing, lease administration, and accounts payable.  The use of professional staff and technology allows us to scale efficiently and operate properties profitably by reducing tasks otherwise completed at the property level. 
 
Deal Size. We believe that our small capitalization size with non-institutional deals of less than 150 sites are accretive to our balance sheet.  These sized properties typically have less bidders at lower prices than larger properties.  We can profitably operate these smaller properties through our centralized operations.
 
Creating Value. Our underwriting expertise enables us to identify acquisition prospects to provide attractive risk adjusted returns.  Our operational team has the experience, skill and resources to create this value through physical and/or operational property improvements.
 
Our Growth Strategy
 
Our growth strategy is to acquire both stable and undervalued and underperforming manufactured housing properties that have current income. We believe that we can enhance value through our professional asset and property management. Our property management services are mainly comprised of tenant contracts and leasing, marketing vacancies, community maintenance, enforcement of community policies, establishment and collection rent, and payment of vendors. Our lot and manufactured home leases are generally for one month and auto renew monthly for an additional month.
 
Our investment mission on behalf of our stockholders is to deliver an attractive risk-adjusted return with a focus on value creation, capital preservation, and growth. In our ongoing search for acquisition opportunities we target and evaluate manufactured housing communities nationwide.
 
 
31
 
 
We may invest in improved and unimproved real property and may develop unimproved real property. These property investments may be located throughout the United States, but to date we have concentrated in the Southeast portion of the United States. We are focused on acquiring communities with significant upside potential and leveraging our expertise to build long-term capital appreciation.
 
We are one of four public companies in the manufactured housing sector, but we are the only one not organized as a REIT, thereby giving us flexibility to focus on growth through reinvestment of income and employing higher leverage upon acquisition than the REITs traditionally utilize due to market held norms around 50-60%. This can give us a competitive advantage when bidding for assets. Additionally, due to our small size, non-institutional sized deals of less than 150 sites, which have less bidders and lower prices, are accretive to our balance sheet.
 
Regulation
 
Federal, State and/or Local Regulatory Compliance
 
We are subject to a variety of Federal, state, and/or local statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations covering the purchase, development and operation of real estate assets. These regulatory requirements include zoning and land use, worksite safety, traffic, and other matters, such as local rules that may impose restrictive zoning and developmental requirements. We are subject to various licensing, registration, and filing requirements in connection with the development and operation of certain real estate assets. Additionally, state and/or local governments retain certain rights with respect to eminent domain which could enable them to restrict or alter the use of our property. These requirements may lead to increases in our overall costs. The need to comply with these requirements may significantly delay development with regard to properties, or lead us to alter our plans regarding certain real estate assets. Some requirements, on a property by property evaluation, may lead to a determination that development of a particular property would not be economically feasible, even if any or all necessary governmental approvals were obtained.
 
We believe that each community has all material operating permits and approvals.
 
Environmental Regulatory Compliance
 
Under various Federal, state and/or local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of a property may be required to investigate and/or clean-up hazardous or toxic substances released at that property. That owner or operator also may be held liable to third parties for bodily injury or property damage (investigation and/or clean-up costs) incurred by those parties in connection with the contamination at that site. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or otherwise caused the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances or other regulated materials also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such persons.
 
The costs of remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances can be substantial, and the presence of contamination, or the failure to remediate contamination discovered, at a property we own or operate may adversely affect our ability to develop, sell, lease, or borrow upon that property. Current and former tenants at a property we own may have, or may have involved, the use of hazardous materials or generated hazardous wastes, and those situations could result in our incurring liabilities to remediate any resulting contamination if the responsible party is unable or unwilling to do so.
 
In addition, our properties may be exposed to a risk of contamination originating from other sources. While a property owner generally is not responsible for remediating contamination that has migrated on-site from an off-site source, the contaminant’s presence could have adverse effects on our ability to develop, construct on, operate, sell, lease, or borrow upon that property. Certain environmental laws may create a lien on a contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government may incur to remediate that contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on a property, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which that property may be used, or how businesses may be operated on that property, thus reducing our ability to maximize our investment in that property. Our properties have been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times; however, the identification of new areas of contamination, a change in the extent or known scope of contamination, or changes in environmental regulatory standards and/or cleanup requirements could result in significant costs to us.

Insurance and Property Maintenance and Improvement Policies
 
Our properties are insured against risks that may cause property damage and business interruption including events such as fire, business interruption, general liability and if applicable, flood. Our insurance policies contain deductible requirements, coverage limits and particular exclusions. It is our policy to maintain adequate insurance coverage on all of our properties; and, in the opinion of our management, all of our properties are adequately insured. We also obtain title insurance insuring fee title to the properties in an aggregate amount which we believe to be adequate.
 
It is also our policy to properly maintain, modernize, expand and make improvements to its properties when required.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2018, we had 10 employees, including officers, all of whom are full-time employees.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
 
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

Corporate Governance
 
Our current board of directors is comprised of five members: Raymond M. Gee, Michael Z. Anise, Terry Robertson, James L. Johnson and William H. Carter. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Robertson, Johnson and Carter are independent directors as that term is defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
Our board of directors currently has two standing committees, an audit committee and a compensation committee, which perform various duties on behalf of and report to the board of directors. Each of the standing committees is comprised of a majority of independent directors. From time to time, the board of directors may establish other committees.
 
Governance Structure
 
Currently, our chief executive officer is also our Chairman. Our board of directors believes that, at this time, having a combined chief executive officer and Chairman is the appropriate leadership structure for our company. In making this determination, the board of directors considered, among other matters, Mr. Gee’s experience and tenure, and believed that Mr. Gee is highly qualified to act as both Chairman and chief executive officer due to his experience, knowledge, and personality. Among the benefits of a combined chief executive officer/Chairman considered by the board of directors is that such structure promotes clearer leadership and direction for our company and allows for a single, focused chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans.
 
 
37
 
 
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
 
Our board of directors plays an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of our risks and strategic direction. Our board of directors regularly reviews information regarding our liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. Our audit committee oversees the process by which our senior management and relevant employees assess and manage our exposure to, and management of, financial risks. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed about such risks.
 
Audit Committee
 
Our audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Robertson, Anise and Carter, with Mr. Robertson serving as chairman. Our board of directors has determined that each member of our audit committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in such member’s financial sophistication. Our board of directors further determined that Mr. Robertson possesses the accounting or related financial management experience that qualifies his as financially sophisticated within the meaning of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and that he is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 
The primary purposes of our audit committee are to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of our company and audits of our financial statements, including (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) preparing the audit committee report to be filed with the SEC; (viii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (ix) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter. The role and responsibilities of our audit committee are more fully set forth in a written charter adopted by our board of directors, which is available on our website at www.mhproperties.com.
 
Compensation Committee 
 
Our compensation committee currently consists of Messrs. Johnson, Robertson and Gee, with Mr. Johnson serving as chairman. The primary purposes of our compensation committee are to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to determine the compensation of our executive officers and directors and to approve and evaluate the compensation policies and programs of our company, including (i) reviewing from time to time and approving our corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation and our executive compensation structure and compensation range; (ii) evaluating the chief executive officer’s performance in light of the goals and objectives and determining and approving the chief executive officer’s compensation based on this evaluation; (iii) determining and approving the compensation paid to our chief financial officer and any other executive officers; (iv) determining the compensation of our independent directors; (v) granting rights to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses to any officers, employees or directors; (vi) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (vii) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter. The role and responsibilities of our compensation committee are more fully set forth in a written charter adopted by our board of directors, which is available on our website at www.mhproperties.com.
 
The policies underlying our compensation committee’s compensation decisions are designed to attract and retain the best-qualified management personnel available. We routinely compensate our executive officers through salaries. At our discretion, we may reward executive officers and employees through bonus programs based on profitability and other objectively measurable performance factors. Additionally, we use stock options and other incentive awards to compensate our executives and other key employees to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders. In establishing executive compensation, our compensation committee will evaluate compensation paid to similar officers employed at other companies of similar size in the same industry and the individual performance of each officer as it impacts our overall performance with particular focus on an individual’s contribution to the realization of operating profits and the achievement of strategic business goals. Our compensation committee will further attempt to rationalize a particular executive’s compensation with that of other executive officers of our company in an effort to distribute compensation fairly among the executive officers. Although the components of executive compensation (salary, bonus and incentive grants) will be reviewed separately, compensation decisions will be made based on a review of total compensation.

Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.
 
We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules.

This note has a five-year term with no annual interest and mandatory principal payment is deferred until the maturity date. As of December 31, 2018, the amount owed by us to Mr. Gee under this note is $890,632, and no payments have been made by us since the date we issued this note to Mr. Gee.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
General
 
The following description summarizes important terms of the classes of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws which have been filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.  
 
As of May 8, 2019, there were 12,895,062 shares of Common Stock and 280,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. No other shares of our preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of such date.
 
Common Stock
 
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights.  Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock, our Common Stockholders are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by our board.  Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets upon our dissolution or liquidation after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of our Preferred Stock then outstanding.  Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of our stock.  The shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions.   The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock that we may issue in the future.
 
Preferred Stock
 
Our articles of incorporation further authorize the board of directors to issue, from time to time, without stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our board may, from time to time, authorize the issuance of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval. Subject to the provisions of our articles of incorporation and limitations prescribed by law, our board is authorized to adopt resolutions to issue shares, establish the number of shares, change the number of shares constituting any series, and provide or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on shares of our Preferred Stock, including dividend rights, terms of redemption, conversion rights and liquidation preferences, in each case without any action or vote by our stockholders.
 
One of the effects of undesignated Preferred Stock may be to enable our board to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The issuance of Preferred Stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders by, among other things: restricting dividends on the Common Stock; diluting the voting power of the Common Stock; impairing the liquidation rights of the Common Stock; or delaying or preventing a change in control without further action by the stockholders.
 
Series A Preferred Stock
 
On May 8, 2019, we filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to establish our Series A Preferred Stock. We designated a total of 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as “Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.” Our Series A Preferred Stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:
  
Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock will not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
 
 
43
 
 
Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.017 per share each month, which is equivalent to the rate of 8% of the $2.50 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.
 
Liquidation Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is $2.50. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares.
 
Stockholder Optional Conversion. Holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock may at any time convert shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in full, but not in part, into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share of Common Stock. In the event that such conversion might result in the issuance of a fractional share of our Common Stock, the number of shares of our Common Stock issued to the holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
 
Company Call and Stockholder Put Options. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at a call price equal to $3.75, or 150% of the original issue price of our Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to $3.75, or 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares.
 
Further Issuances. We will not be required to redeem shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at any time except as otherwise described above under the caption “Company Call and Stockholder Put Options.” Accordingly, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our call right, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock exercises his put right or the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock converts such stock into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not subject to any sinking fund.
 
Voting Rights. We may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend our articles of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.
 
Series B Preferred Stock
 
Prior to the initial closing of this offering, we will file a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to establish our Series B Preferred Stock. We will designate a total of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as “Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.” Our Series B Preferred Stock will have the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:
 
Ranking. The Series B Preferred Stock will rank, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock will not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series B Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
 
Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock being offered will be cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.067 per share each month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.083 per month, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 10% of the $10.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings.
 
Liquidation Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series B Preferred Stock will be $10.00. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares.
 
 
44
 
 
Company Call and Stockholder Put Options. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a call price equal to $15.00, or 150% of the original issue price of our Series B Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to $15.00, or 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares.
 
Further Issuances. We will not be required to redeem shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at any time except as otherwise described above under the caption “Company Call and Stockholder Put Options.” Accordingly, the shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our call right, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock exercises his put right. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not be subject to any sinking fund.
 
Voting Rights. We may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend our articles of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of our Series B Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.
 
No Conversion Right. The Series B Preferred Stock will not be convertible into shares of our Common Stock.
 
Underwriter Warrants
 
At the closing of this offering, we are required to issue the underwriter a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the total amount raised in such closing divided by $2.50, which is the price per share at which shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock, at an exercise price of $10 per share. The underwriter warrants will have a five-year term and contain a standard cashless exercise provision. The underwriter warrants will contain other customary terms and conditions, including without limitation, provisions for piggy back registration rights, and the underwriter warrants are being registered under the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.
 
Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law
 
Business Combinations
 
The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; or after the expiration of the three-year period, unless:
 
the transaction is approved by the board of directors or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or
 
if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.
 
A “combination” is defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, or (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. In general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.
 
These provisions could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
 
 
45
 
 
Control Share Acquisitions
 
The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which apply only to Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and which conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada, prohibit an acquiror, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquiror obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. These provisions specify three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Once an acquiror crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition, and acquired within 90 days thereof, become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.
 
Anti-takeover Effects of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
 
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also contain certain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of our company or changing our board of directors and management.
 
As noted above, our articles of incorporation authorize our board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock without further stockholder approval. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any Preferred Stock could diminish the rights of holders of Common Stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such Common Stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of Preferred Stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of the board to issue Preferred Stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock.
 
In addition, according to our articles of incorporation and bylaws neither the holders of Common Stock nor the holders of Preferred Stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace the board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing the board of directors. The bylaws also contain a limitation as to who may call special meetings as well as require advance notice of stockholder matters to be brought at a meeting. Additionally, our bylaws also provide that no director may be removed by less than a two-thirds vote of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on the removal.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is First American Stock Transfer, Inc. with an address at 4747 North 7th Street Suite 170, Phoenix AZ 85014. Their phone number is (602) 485-1346.

UNDERWRITING
 
Engagement Agreement with Digital Offering
 
We are currently party to an engagement agreement with Digital Offering LLC, who we refer to as the underwriter. The underwriter has agreed to act as our managing broker-dealer for the offering. The underwriter has made no commitment to purchase all or any part of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being offered but has agreed to use its best efforts to sell such shares in the offering.
 
The term of the engagement agreement began on April 30, 2019 and will continue until the earlier to occur of: (i) the closing of this offering and (ii) ten (10) business days after either party gives the other written notice of termination.
 
The engagement agreement provides that the underwriter may ask other FINRA member broker-dealers that are registered with the SEC to participate as soliciting dealers for this offering. We refer to these other broker-dealers as soliciting dealers. Upon appointment of any such soliciting dealer, the underwriter is permitted to re-allow all or part of its fees and expense allowance as described below. Such soliciting dealer is also automatically entitled to receive the benefits of our engagement agreement with the underwriter, including the indemnification rights arising under the engagement agreement upon their execution of a soliciting dealer agreement with the underwriter that confirms that such soliciting dealer is so entitled. We will not be responsible for paying any placement agency fees, commissions or expense reimbursements to any soliciting dealers retained by the underwriter that is in excess of the fees and expense reimbursement provided for under our engagement agreement with the underwriter.
 
None of the soliciting dealers are purchasing any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in this offering and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Series B Preferred Stock, but will instead arrange for the sale of securities to investors on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that they need only use their best efforts to sell the securities.
 
Underwriter Compensation
 
Cash Commission and Underwriter Warrants
 
We will pay the underwriter concurrently with each closing of the offering a cash placement fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of such closing. As additional compensation to the underwriter, we will issue to the underwriter at each closing a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the total amount raised in such closing divided by $2.50, which is the price per share at which shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock, at an exercise price of $10 per share. The underwriter warrants will have a five-year term and contain a standard cashless exercise provision. The underwriter warrants will contain other customary terms and conditions, including without limitation, provisions for piggy back registration rights, and the underwriter warrants are being registered under the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.
 
The underwriter warrants and the shares of our Common Stock underlying the underwriter warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. Digital Offering, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the underwriter warrants or the shares of our Common Stock underlying the underwriter warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the underwriter warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the applicable closing. In addition, the underwriter warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases. The demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the date on which this offering statement is qualified in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(iv). The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the date on which the offering statement is qualified in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(v). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the underwriter warrants other than any underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the underwriter warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the underwriter warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Common Stock at a price below the underwriter warrant exercise price.
 
 
47
 
 
Underwriter Expenses
 
We will be responsible for paying or reimbursing the underwriter for all of its reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the offering including, without limitation, the underwriter’s legal expenses, cost of background checks and independent third party due diligence reports on our company, travel expenses, photocopying, and courier services subject to a cap of $30,000.
 
Retainer Amount
 
Upon entering into the engagement agreement with the underwriter, we paid the underwriter a $15,000 retainer, which was used by the underwriter for the payment of the legal and other expenses described above. The retainer amount will be set off against and credited toward the expenses described above. Any unused portion of the retainer amount will be returned to us if the offering is terminated for any reason.
 
Company Expenses
 
We are responsible for all of our own costs and expenses relating to the offering, including, without limitation:
 
all filing fees and communication expenses relating to the qualification of the securities to be sold in the offering with the SEC and the filing of the offering materials with the FINRA under FINRA Rule 5110,
 
the My IPO investor platform is paperless, should we want paper offering documents, the costs of all mailing and printing of the offering documents, the offering statement, the offering circular and all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto and as many preliminary and final offering circulars as the underwriter and we may reasonably deem necessary,
 
the costs of preparing, electronically delivering certificates representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock sold in the offering,
 
the costs and expenses of the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock, and
 
the costs and expenses of our accountants and the fees and expenses of our legal counsel and other agents and representatives.
 
We estimate the expenses of this offering payable by us, not including commissions, will be approximately $115,000, which includes the underwriter expense reimbursement of up to $30,000, but excludes any commissions attributable to the sale of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock in the offering.
 
Purchase of Securities by Our Officers and Directors
 
Our officers and directors and affiliates of our officers and directors are permitted to purchase shares in the offering. Any such purchases shall be conducted in compliance with the applicable provisions of Regulation M. 
 
Pricing of the Offering
 
Prior to the offering, our Common Stock has been eligible for quotation on the Pink Open Market, however, there has been very little trading of our Common Stock on such market. The public offering price for our Series B Preferred Stock was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriter. The principal factors considered in determining the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock and the public offering price include:
 
the information set forth in this offering circular and otherwise available to the underwriter;
our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
our past and present financial performance;
our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;
the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;
the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded Common Stock of generally comparable companies;
the price and terms upon which we sold shares of our Series A Preferred Stock; and
other factors deemed relevant by our underwriter and us. 
 
 
48
 
 
Indemnification and Control
 
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter and soliciting dealers against liabilities relating to the offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, liabilities arising from breaches of some or all of the representations and warranties contained in our engagement agreement with the underwriter or the Representation Letter (as defined in the engagement agreement) or agreements with soliciting dealers, and to contribute to payments that the soliciting dealers may be required to make for these liabilities.
 
The underwriter and the soliciting dealers and their respective affiliates are engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriter and the soliciting dealers and their respective affiliates may in the future perform various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
 
Our Relationship with the Underwriter and Soliciting Dealers
 
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriter and soliciting dealers and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of our company. The underwriter and soliciting dealers and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

The process for investing through Cambria Capital, My IPO or through Other Broker-Dealers will work in the following manner. The Clearing Firm will enter into a custody agreement with us pursuant to which we will issue uncertificated securities to be held at the Clearing Firm, and the shares of Series B Preferred stock held at the Clearing Firm will be reflected as an omnibus position on our records and the transfer agent's records in the name of the Clearing Firm, for the exclusive benefit of customers. We will open a brokerage account with the Clearing Firm and the Clearing Firm will hold the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be sold in the offering in book-entry form in our company’s Clearing Firm account. When the shares of Series B Preferred stock are sold, the Clearing Firm maintains a record of each investor's ownership interest in those securities. Under an SEC no-action letter provided to the Clearing Firm in January 2015, the Clearing Firm is allowed to treat the issuer as a good control location pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3(c)(7) under these circumstances. The customer's funds will not be transferred into a separate account awaiting the initial closing, or any other closing, but will remain in the customer's account at the Clearing Firm pending instructions to release funds to us if all conditions necessary for a closing are met. We intend to apply for DTC eligibility of our shares and if our shares gain DTC eligibility then the shares held in the Clearing Firm accounts will be included in the position of DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., on the records of our transfer agent. 
 
In order to subscribe to purchase the shares of Series B Preferred Stock through Cambria Capital, My IPO or through an Other Broker-Dealer, a prospective investor must electronically complete and execute a subscription agreement and provide payment using the procedures indicated below. When submitting the subscription request through Cambria Capital, My IPO or an Other Broker-Dealer, a prospective investor is required to agree to various terms and conditions by checking boxes and to review and electronically sign any necessary documents. We will not accept any subscription agreements prior to the SEC’s qualification of this offering.
 
The funds that will be used by an investor purchasing through Cambria Capital, My IPO or an Other Broker-Dealer that clears through the Clearing Firm to purchase the securities are deposited by the investor prior to the applicable closing date into a brokerage account at the Clearing Firm, which will be owned by the investor. The funds for the investor's account held at the Clearing Firm can be provided by check, wire, Automated Clearing House, or ACH, push, ACH pull, direct deposit, Automated Customer Account Transfer Service, or ACATS, or non-ACATS transfer. Under an SEC no-action letter provided to the Clearing Firm in July 2015, the funds will remain in the customer’s account after they are deposited and until the conditions of the offering are satisfied and the offering closes, the prospective investor’s offer is cancelled, or this offering is withdrawn or expired.
 
After any contingencies of the offering or any particular closing are met, we will notify the Clearing Firm when we wish to conduct a closing. The Clearing Firm executes the closing by transferring each investor's funds from their Cambria Capital, My IPO or Other Broker-Dealer accounts to our Clearing Firm account and transferring the correct number of book-entry shares to each investor’s account from our Clearing Firm account. The shares are then reflected in the investor's online account and shown on the investor's Cambria Capital, My IPO or Other Broker-Dealer account statements. Cambria Capital, My IPO and Other Broker-Dealers will also send trade confirmations individually to the investors. 
 
Other Procedures for Subscribing
 
Investors not purchasing through Cambria Capital, My IPO or an Other Broker-Dealer that clears through the Clearing Firm must complete and execute a subscription agreement for a specific number of shares and pay for the shares at the time of the subscription. Subscription agreements may be submitted in paper form, or electronically, if electronic subscription agreements and signature are made available to you by your broker-dealer or registered investment advisor. Generally, when submitting a subscription agreement electronically, a prospective investor will be required to agree to various terms and conditions by checking boxes and to review and electronically sign any necessary documents. You may pay the purchase price for your shares by: (i) check; (ii) wire transfer in accordance with the instructions contained in your subscription agreement or (iii) electronic funds transfer via ACH in accordance with the instructions contained in your subscription agreement. All checks should be made payable to “[ ], as Escrow Agent for Manufactured Housing Properties Inc.” Completed subscription agreements will be sent by your broker-dealer or registered investment advisor, as applicable, to Digital Offering at the address set forth in the subscription agreement. Subscription payments should be delivered directly to the escrow agent. If you send your subscription payment to your broker or registered investment advisor, then your broker or registered investment advisor will immediately forward your subscription payment to the escrow agent. Subscriptions will be effective only upon our acceptance, and we reserve the right to reject any subscription in whole or in part.

Before the qualification date, you may only make non-binding indications of your interest to purchase securities in the offering. For any subscription agreements received after the qualification date, we have the right to review and accept or reject the subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. If rejected, we will return all funds to the rejected subscribers within ten business days. If accepted, the funds will remain in the escrow account until all conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived, at which point we will have an initial closing of the offering and the funds in escrow will then be transferred into our general account. Following the initial closing of this offering, we expect to have several subsequent closings of this offering until the maximum offering amount is raised or the offering is terminated. You will receive a confirmation of your purchase promptly following the closing in which you participate.
 
Right to Reject Subscriptions
 
After we receive your complete, executed subscription agreement (a form of which is attached to the offering statement as Exhibit 4.1) and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been transferred to the escrow account, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.
 
Acceptance of Subscriptions
 
Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:
Manufactured Housing Properties, Inc.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Manufactured Housing Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related notes. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced net losses since inception and negative cash flows from operations and has relied on loans from related parties to fund its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
 
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
(A) Organization
 
The Company is a Nevada corporation whose principal activities together with its affiliates, acquires, owns, and operates manufactured housing communities. Mobile Home Rental Holdings (“MHRH”) was formed in April 2016 to acquire the assets for Pecan Grove MHP in November 2016 and Butternut MHP in April 2017. To continue the acquisition and aggregation of mobile home parks, MHRH intend to raise capital in the public markets. Therefore, on October 21, 2017, MHRH was acquired by and merged with a public entity Stack-it Storage, Inc. (OTC: STAK). As part of the merger transaction, Stack-it Storage, Inc. changed its name to Manufactured Housing Properties Inc. (OTC: MHPC).
 
For accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and has been treated as a recapitalization of Stack-it Storage, Inc. with Manufactured Housing Properties, Inc. as the accounting acquirer.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements under the accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
The Company’s subsidiaries are all formed in the state of North Carolina as Limited Liability Companies. The acquisition and date of consolidation are as follows:

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company follows Topic 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition and ASU 2014-09. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the five following criteria are met: (1) Identify the Contract with a Customer, (2) Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract, (3) Determine the Transaction Price, (4) Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance Obligations in the Contract, and (5) Recognize Revenue When (or As) the Entity Satisfies a Performance Obligation. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. There was no impact to revenues as a result of applying ASU 2014-09 for year ended December 31, 2018, and there have not been any significant changes to our business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. The Company recognizes rental income revenues on a monthly basis based on the terms of the lease agreement which are for either the land or a combination of both, the mobile home and land. Home sales revenues are recognized upon the sale of a home with an executed sales agreement. The Company has deferred revenues from home lease purchase options and records those option fees as deferred revenues and then records them as revenues when (1) the lease purchase option term is completed and title has been transferred, or (2) the leaseholder defaults on the lease terms resulting in a termination of the agreement which allows us to keep any payments as liquidated damages.
 
F-7
 
 
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts currently due from residence. Accounts receivables are reported in the balance sheet at outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs and the allowance for losses. The Company records an allowance for bad debt when recievables are over 90 days old.
 
Acquisitions
 
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and allocates the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, which generally consist of land, site and land improvements, buildings and improvements and rental homes. The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired property generally determined by internal evaluation as well as third-party appraisal of the property obtained in conjunction with the purchase.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method. Total dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled 541,334 and 698,000 stock options, respectively and 793,683 and 786,695 convertible shares, respectively, which are not included in dilutive loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
 
The Company’s significant accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the consolidated financial statements were the estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity and derivative instruments. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
 
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
 
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuing equity-based transactions, valuation of deferred tax assets, depreciable lives of property and equipment and valuation of investment property.
 
Investment Property and Equipment and Depreciation
 
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation for Sites and Building is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 15 to 25 years). Depreciation of Improvements to Sites and Buildings, Rental Homes and Equipment and Vehicles is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (ranging from 3 to 25 years). Land Development Costs are not depreciated until they are put in use, at which time they are capitalized as Sites and Land Improvements. Interest Expense pertaining to Land Development Costs are capitalized. Maintenance and Repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of property sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the financial statement and any gain or loss is reflected in the current year’s results of operations.
 
F-8
 
 
Impairment Policy
 
The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Property, Plant & Equipment (“ASC 360-10”) to measure impairment in real estate investments. Rental properties are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from a rental property is less than the carrying value under its historical net cost basis. These expected future cash flows consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. Upon determination that a permanent impairment has occurred, rental properties are reduced to their fair value. For properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair value of the property, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
The Company maintains cash balances at banks and deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's cash are financially secure and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no cash balances above the FDIC-insured limit, respectively.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
All stock based payments to employees, nonemployee consultants, and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors, including any grants of restricted stock and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of operations as compensation or other expense over the relevant service period. Stock based payments to nonemployees are recognized as an expense over the period of performance. Such payments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date a performance commitment is reached or the date performance is completed. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are nonforfeitable the measurement date is the date the award is issued. The Company recorded stock option expense of $69 and $245 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
We follow paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award are subject to the guidance on modification accounting under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. Entities would apply the modification accounting guidance unless the value, vesting requirements and classification of a share-based payment award are the same immediately before and after a change to the terms or conditions of the award. ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
F-9
 
 
On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income -Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.” ASU 2017-05 provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers, unless other specific guidance applies. The standard requires a company to derecognize nonfinancial assets once it transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset. Additionally, when a company transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, the cCompany is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. The guidance requires companies to recognize a full gain or loss on the transaction. As a result of the new guidance, the guidance specific to real estate sales in ASC 360-20 will be eliminated. As such, sales and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the potential impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements and determined that it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
F-10
 
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07“Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this Update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the good or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 
The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Our working capital has been provided by our operating activities and our related party note. As of December 31, 2018, the related party entity with a common ownership to the Company’s president loaned the Company $890,632 for costs related to Reorganization cost and working capital. The related party note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal payments are deferred to maturity date for a total credit line of $1.5 million. Except our line of credit, generally, our promissory notes on our acquisitions range from 4.5% to 7.0% with 20 to 25 years principal amortization. Two of the promissory notes had an initial 6 months period on interest only payments. The Line of Credit is interest only payment based on 10%, and 8% deferred till maturity to be paid with principal balance. We plan to meet our short-term liquidity requirements of approximately $1,053,174 for the next twelve months, generally through available cash as well as net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our existing related party note of $890,632. We also have availability from our lenders under our loan agreements for Capital expenditure needs on our acquisitions. We expect these resources to help the Company meet operating working capital requirements. The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes.

NOTE 5 – PROMISSORY NOTES
 
During the years ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into promissory notes from lenders related to the acquisition of seven manufactured housing communities.
 
Except our line of credit, generally, the promissory notes range from 4.5% to 7.0% with 20 to 25 years principal amortization. Two of the promissory notes had an initial 6 months period on interest only payments. The Line of Credit is interest only payment based on 10%, and 8% deferred till maturity to be paid with principal balance. The Line of Credit awarded the lender 455,000 shares of common stock as compensation, which resulted in making the lender a related party due to their significant ownership. The promissory notes are secured by the real estate assets of which $3,004,119 for four assets were also secured by the guarantee of the owner of the principal stockholder of the Company. The line of credit is secured by the Company's guarantee and by the guarantee of the owner of the principal stockholder of the Company.

(*) As of December 31, 2018, a related party entity with a common ownership to the Company’s founder loaned the Company $890,632 for reorganization cost and working capital. The note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal payments are deferred to maturity date. The Company recorded an In-kind contribution of interest in the amount of $44,695 and $7,493 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
(**) The line of credit, which is guaranteed by the owner of the principal stockholder of the Company, has a conversion option whereby the lender can convert the ratio of total outstanding debt at time of exercise of the option into an amount of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock equal determined by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $3,000,000 multiplied by 10% with a cap of 864,500 shares. As of December 31, 2018, the indebtedness under the line of credit was $2,754,550 and this amount would have resulted in a conversion into 793,683 newly issued shares Note that the line of credit was amended during the first quarter of 2019 (see note 10).
 
(***) Note that these loan payables were refinanced during the first quarter of 2019 (See Note 10).

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise that may harm its business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
 
NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Preferred Stock
 
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, further authorize the Board of Directors to issue, from time to time, without stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock ($0.01par value). As of the date hereof, no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
 
In the first quarter of 2019, we executed Subscription Agreements relating to the sale of 280,000 shares of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for a total of $700,000 in cash. This is a part of a total of $10,000,000 that we are seeking through the sale of shares of our preferred stock to acquire assets of manufactured housing communities in our pipeline. The preferred share that will be issued will provide purchasers with an annual return of 8% annually, paid in monthly distributions, and 1.5 times the initial investment at redemption after 5 years for a total IRR of approximately 16%. Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stockholder shall have the right to convert into common stock at $2.50 per share at any time. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause a conversion of the shares of its Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share of Common Stock when the Market Price of the shares of our Common Stock reaches $2.50. Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock have liquidity rights over our common shareholders. Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock requires that the Company may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Shares as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation or amend our charter to materially and adversely change the terms of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.

The Company, under its Equity Incentive Plan, issues options to various officers and directors. One third of the options vest immediately, and two thirds vest in equal annual installments over a two-year period. All of the options are exercisable at a purchase price of $.01 per share.
 
The Company recorded stock option expense of $69 and $245 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company owned 75% of membership interest in Pecan Grove MHP LLC. During December of 2018, The Company's Chief Executive Officer acquired the 25% minority interest in Pecan Grove MHP from an unaffiliated investor. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company made a total distribution of $55,105 and $27,707 to the non-controlling interest, respectively (see note 10).
 
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company issued 4,824,155 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2017, for cash totaling $165,437 to its founder and Chairman of the Board.
 
As of December 31, 2018, an entity with a common ownership to the Company’s founder loaned the Company $890,632 for reorganization cost and working capital. The note has a five-year term with no annual interest and principal payments are deferred to maturity date. The Company recorded an In-kind contribution of interest in the amount of $44,695 and $7,493 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
The Company entered into a debt agreement for a revolving line of credit. The Line of Credit is interest only payment based on 10%, and 8% deferred until maturity to be paid with principal balance. The Line of Credit is personally guaranteed by the owner of the principal stockholder of the Company. The Line of Credit awarded the lender 455,000 shares of common stock as consideration of the note. The fair value of shares was $15,603, based on the recent cash price and was treated as a debt discount, which resulted in making the lender a related party due to their significant ownership.
  
The line of credit, which is guaranteed by the owner of the principal stockholder of the Company, has a conversion option whereby the lender can convert the ratio of total outstanding debt at time of exercise of the option into an amount of newly issued shares of the company’s common stock equal determined by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $3,000,000 multiplied by 10% with a cap of 864,500 shares. As of December 31, 2018, the indebtedness under the line of credit was $2,754,550 and this amount would have resulted in a conversion into 793,683 newly issued shares.
 
The line of credit also gives the lender an option to purchase up to 864,500 shares of newly issued common stock for a purchase price of $3,000,000 minus the value of the outstanding principal of the Note, if any, previously converted into equity.
 
In December 2018, The Company recorded $4,000 in revenues related to property management consulting services provided to an entity with common ownership as our founder and Chairman of the Board.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
 
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) that significantly reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 (though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely); modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits, including reducing the business tax credit for certain clinical testing expenses incurred in the testing of certain drugs for rare diseases or conditions generally referred to as “orphan drugs”; and repeal of the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”).
 
At December 31, 2017, the Company had deferred tax assets principally arising from the net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes multiplied by the Federal statutory tax rate of 34%. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been established at December 31, 2017.
 
The significant components of the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
During the first quarter of 2019, we entered into agreements to acquire the assets of three manufactured housing communities totaling approximately $10,715,000. The three transactions will be accounted for as asset acquisition, and we expect to close them in the second quarter of 2019.
 
In March of 2019, we refinanced a total of $4,920,750 from our current loans payable to $8,241,609 of new notes payable from five of our seven existing communities, resulting in an additional loan payable of $3,320,859. The Company used the additional loans payable proceeds from the refinance to retire our Convertible Note Payable of $2,754,550 plus accrued interest. $4,573,000 of the total $8,241,609, representing the refinancing portion for Azalea, Holly Faye, and Pecan Grove required a personal guarantee from our Chief Executive Officer.
 
In February of 2019, we executed an amendment to our Convertible Note Payable to make available the $3,000,000 line of credit for redeployment under the same terms. The amendment requires the Company to issue the lender an additional 545,000 shares of common stock to the lender with a fair value of $16,350. The amendment eliminated the convertible option to the lender to purchase up to 864,500 shares of newly issued common stock for a purchase price of $3,000,000 minus the value of the outstanding principal of the Note, if any, previously converted into equity. The amendment gives the lender the right and option to purchase its pro rata share of debt or equity securities issued in order to allow lender to maintain a 10% equity interest into the Company for seven years from the date of the amendment.
 
In January 2019, we agreed to acquire the 25% minority interest in Pecan Grove, and we will issue 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to Gvest Real Estate for the minority interest acquisition which were valued at the historical cost value of $537,502.
 
In the first quarter of 2019, we executed Subscription Agreements relating to the sale of 280,000 shares of our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for a total of $700,000 in cash. This is a part of a total of $10,000,000 that we are seeking through the sale of shares of our preferred stock to acquire assets of manufactured housing communities in our pipeline. The preferred share that will be issued will provide purchasers with an annual return of 8% annually, paid in monthly distributions, and 1.5 times the initial investment at redemption after 5 years for a total IRR of approximately 16%. Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stockholder shall have the right to convert into common stock at $2.50 per share at any time. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause a conversion of the shares of its Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share of Common Stock when the Market Price of the shares of our Common Stock reaches $2.50. Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock have liquidity rights over our common shareholders. Our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock requires that the Company may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Shares as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation or amend our charter to materially and adversely change the terms of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.

The Soliciting Dealer Agreement shall be in such form as we reasonably determine.
 
2. Fees and Expenses.
 
(a) As compensation to Digital Offering for its services hereunder, the Company agrees to pay Digital Offering, concurrently with each closing of the Offering, a cash placement fee (the “Placement Fee”) equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. In addition, on the date of each closing of the Offering, the Company will issue to Digital Offering a five-year placement agent warrant (the “Agent Warrant”) for the purchase a number of Securities that is equal to the quotient of (i) five percent (5%) of the of the dollar amount of Securities sold at such closing divided by the price per share paid by investors for Securities sold at such closing, unless the Securities sold in the Offering are not priced, in which case, such amount would be divided by $2.50, which represents the conversion price per share of preferred stock sold by the Company in its last financing. The Agent Warrant will have an exercise price equal to the price per share paid by investors in the Offering, or, if priced Securities are not issued in the Offering, then an exercise price equal to $2.50, which is the conversion price per share of preferred stock sold by the Company in its last financing transaction. The Agent Warrant will contain customary terms and conditions, including without limitation, provisions for cashless exercise and the Agent Warrant will be registered under the offering statement for the Offering. Digital Offering understands and agrees that there are significant restrictions pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA Rule 5110 against transferring the Agent Warrant and the underlying Securities during the one hundred eighty (180) days after the qualification date of the offering statement for the Offering and by its acceptance thereof shall agree that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the Agent Warrant, or any portion thereof, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the qualification date of the offering statement for the Offering to anyone other than (i) an underwriter or selected dealer in connection with the Offering or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of Digital Offering or of any underwriter or selected dealer; and only if any such transferee agrees to the foregoing lock-up restrictions.
 
 
 
 
(b) The Company will be responsible for paying or reimbursing Digital Offering for all of its reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the Offering including, without limitation, legal fees, travel expenses, photocopying, and courier services subject to a cap of $30,000. Except for the retainer amount, Digital Offering’s out-of-pocket expenses shall be paid at the closing and out of the proceeds of the Offering or upon termination of this engagement by the Company or Digital Offering.
 
(c) The Company will pay a $15,000 refundable retainer to Digital Offering within five days of executing this agreement. This retainer will be used to cover actual expenses incurred by Digital Offering in connection with the Offering. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Digital Offering will return to the Company the unused portion of such retainer.
 
(d) In addition, the Company shall pay for fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the Offering, including without limitation, (i) all filing fees and communication expenses relating to the qualification of the Securities to be sold in the Offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the filing of the offering materials with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) under FINRA Rule 5110, (ii) the costs of all mailing and printing of the Offering documents, the Offering Statement (as defined below), the Offering Circular (as defined below) and all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto and as many preliminary and final Offering Circulars as Cambria may reasonably deem necessary, (iii) the costs of preparing, printing and delivering electronic certificates representing such Securities; (iv) the costs and expenses of the transfer agent for such Securities; (v) the costs and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of the Company’s legal counsel and other agents and representatives.
 
(e) Upon the execution of the engagement letter, Digital Offering shall obtain background checks on the Company’s officers, directors and significant stockholders and obtain a due diligence report from FactRight or a similar third-party due diligence service provider. The expenses for the background check and due diligence report are expected to be approximately $15,000 in the aggregate and will be covered by retainer described in Section 2(c). Digital Offering shall apply the retainer against these expenses. Digital Offering’s engagement with these service providers will permit Digital Offering to rely on these reports.
 
(f) The Company will be required to make the Offering available online for investors through the My IPO platform, which is operated by Cambria Capital LLC, an affiliate of Digital Offering (“Cambria”). Cambria is an SEC registered broker-dealer that is a FINRA member and member of SIPC. The My IPO platform is an online deal marketing, investor outreach and technology platform that makes the process of investing simple. Cambria will handle all KYC, CIP, AML, OFAC for investors participating under the My IPO platform. Through the My IPO platform, Cambria will provide for electronic subscriptions and account set up. At each closing investor funds are journaled from each funded customer My IPO brokerage account to the Company’s My IPO brokerage account, then the Company may wire these funds from its My IPO brokerage account to its operating bank account. Each investor will have an online brokerage account with My IPO. Free trading shares will be deposited into brokerage account at closing electronically by the Company’s transfer agent.
 
 
 
 
The fees payable by investors on the My IPO platform are currently as follows:
 
Stock Deposit and Issuance Fees: None
 
Online Trade Fees (for public companies): $10
 
Broker Assisted Trade Fees (for public companies): $50
 
No fees to establish or maintain an individual brokerage account
 
The Company will enter into a separate agreement with Cambria that is mutually agreeable to Cambria and the Company in order to utilize the My IPO platform.
 
(g) All fees and any other amounts payable hereunder are payable in U.S. dollars, free and clear of any United States or foreign withholding taxes or deductions, and shall be payable to an account designated by Digital Offering.
 
3. Term of Engagement; Relationship of Parties.
 
(a) The term of Digital Offering’s engagement hereunder (the “Term”) shall commence on the mutual execution of this Agreement and end on the earlier to occur of: (i) the closing of the Offering and (ii) ten (10) business days after either party gives the other written notice of termination hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, either Digital Offering or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time on 10 days’ prior written notice. Upon termination, we will be entitled to collect all fees, if any, earned through the date of termination, and the Company will pay or reimburse Digital Offering for its out-of-pocket expenses, subject to Section 2(b) hereof. The Company agrees that: (a) any termination or completion of Digital Offering’s engagement hereunder shall not affect the Company’s obligation to indemnify Digital Offering, the Soliciting Dealers and the affiliates of Digital Offering and the Soliciting Dealers as provided for herein, (b) any termination of Digital Offering’s engagement hereunder shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay fees as provided for in Section 3(b) hereof; and (c) any termination of Digital Offering’s engagement hereunder shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay fees and reimburse the expenses accruing prior to such termination as provided for herein.
 
(b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise, if at any time after the termination of this agreement and on or before the twelve (12) month period following the termination of this Agreement (the “Residual Period”), the Company enters into a definitive commitment relating to the sale of Securities to any person or entity (including such person or entity’s affiliates, and each of its and such affiliates’ respective equity holders, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents) that Digital Offering introduced to the Company and/or with whom Digital Offering had substantive communications with on behalf of the Company, the Company shall pay to Digital Offering fees in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2(a) hereof.
 
 
 
 
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to place Digital Offering and the Company in the relationship of partners or joint ventures. Neither Digital Offering nor the Company shall represent itself as the agent or legal representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever nor shall either have the power to obligate or bind the other in any manner whatsoever. The Company’s engagement of Digital Offering is not intended to confer rights upon any person not a party hereto (including shareholders, directors, officers, employees or creditors of the Company) as against Digital Offering or its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, successors or assigns. Digital Offering, in performing its services hereunder, shall at all times be an independent contractor. No promises or representations have been made, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and the parties have not relied on any promises or representations except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Nothing contained herein should be construed as creating any fiduciary duties between the Company and Digital Offering.
 
4. Right of First Offer. The Company agrees that if, but only if, the Offering is successfully consummated, it shall provide Digital Offering the right of first refusal for six (6) months from the date of the consummation of the Offering to act as financial advisor or to act as joint financial advisor on at least equal economic terms on any public or private equity financing (collectively, “Future Services”). If the Company notifies Digital Offering of its intention to pursue an activity that would enable Digital Offering to exercise its right of first refusal to provide Future Services, Digital Offering shall notify the Company of its election to provide such Future Services, including notification of the compensation and other terms to which Digital Offering claims to be entitled, within thirty (30) days of written notice by the Company. In the event the Company engages Digital Offering to provide such Future Services, Digital Offering will be compensated on a basis to be mutually agreed upon. For the avoidance of doubt, this right of first refusal shall not apply to any transaction in which the Company does not engage a financial advisor, investment bank, finder or similar advisor.
 
5. Offering Materials; Representations and Warranties.
 
(a) If the proposed offering is a Regulation A offering, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the date hereof, prepare and file with the Commission and the appropriate state securities authorities, an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) under the Securities Act, and an Offering Circular included therein (the “Offering Circular”) covering the Securities to be sold in the Offering. The Offering Statement (including the Offering Circular therein), and all amendments and supplements thereto, will be in form satisfactory to Digital Offering and counsel to Digital Offering and will contain such interim and other financial statements and schedules as may be required by the Securities Act and rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Digital Offering and its counsel shall be given the opportunity to make such review and investigation in connection with the Offering Statement and the Company as they deem desirable. Digital Offering and the Company shall mutually agree on the use of proceeds of the Offering, which shall be described in detail within the Offering Circular, it being further understood and agreed that, except as may expressly approved by Digital Offering, no proceeds from the Offering will be used to pay outstanding loans owed by the Company to any Company officers, directors or stockholders or to redeem any securities of the Company.
 
(b) The Offering Statement will include this Agreement as an exhibit to the Offering Statement.
 
 
 
 
(c) You hereby represent, warrant and agree with Digital Offering that upon qualification of the Offering Statement, the Offering Circular will comply with the Securities Act, Regulation A promulgated thereunder and any other rules and regulations (as applicable) of the Commission (the “Rules and Regulations”), and the Offering Circular and any and all authorized printed sales literature or other sales materials prepared and authorized by the Company for use with potential investors in connection with the Offering (“Authorized Sales Materials”), including without limitation, all testing the waters material under Rule 255, when used in conjunction with the Offering Circular, will not contain any untrue statements of material facts or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c) will not extend to such statements contained in or omitted from the Offering Circular or Authorized Sales Materials as are primarily within the knowledge of Digital Offering and are based upon information furnished by Digital Offering in writing to the Company specifically for inclusion therein.
 
(d) You hereby authorize Digital Offering to transmit to the prospective Investors the Offering Circular and Authorized Sales Materials. The Company will advise Digital Offering immediately of the occurrence of any event or any other change known to the Company which results in the Offering Statement, including the Offering Circular, or the Authorized Sales Materials containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein or previously made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(e) The Company further agrees that Digital Offering may rely upon, and shall be a third-party beneficiary of, the representations and warranties and applicable covenants and agreements made to the investors in connection with the Offering. In addition, immediately prior to the initial closing of the Offering, the Company shall execute and deliver to Digital Offering a representation letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Digital Offering (the “Representation Letter”) pursuant to which it will make representations and warranties to Digital Offering of the type that are customarily found in placement agency and underwriting agreements for offerings like the Offering. Such Representation Letter and the representations made therein are incorporated into this Agreement by reference as if set forth in full herein.
 
6. Conditions to Initial Closing the Offering. The Offering shall be conditioned upon, among other things, the following:
 
(a) Satisfactory completion by Digital Offering of its due diligence investigation and analysis of: (i) the Company’s business, prospects, industry, financial condition and its arrangements with its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, customers and suppliers, (ii) the audited historical financial statements of the Company as required by the SEC (including any relevant stub period reviews), and (iii) the Company’s projected financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 and 2019;

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has, either prior to the initial filing or the qualification date of the Offering Statement, made any offer or sale of any securities which are required to be “integrated” pursuant to the Securities Act or the regulations thereunder with the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to the Offering Statement;
 
(e) The Company maintaining a PCAOB registered firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Digital Offering and the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s existing auditor (which Digital Offering agrees is acceptable), which will have responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements and the financial exhibits to be included in the Offering Statement, it being agreed that the Company will continue to engage a PCAOB registered accounting firm of comparable quality (as may be determined by the Company’s audit committee or board of directors) for a period of at least three years after the Closing so long as the Company is required to file reports with the SEC during such period;
 
(f) The Company maintaining a transfer agent that is FAST eligible for the Company’s Securities reasonably acceptable to Digital Offering and continuing to retain such transfer agent for a period of two (2) years after the Closing;
 
7. Indemnification, Contribution, and Confidentiality. The Company agrees to indemnify Digital Offering and its controlling persons, representatives, and agents in accordance with the indemnification provisions set forth in Appendix I hereto, and the parties agree to the confidentiality provisions of Appendix II hereto, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. These provisions will apply regardless of whether the Offering is consummated.
 
8. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed therein without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles or rules. The Company and Digital Offering agree that any dispute concerning this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration before FINRA pursuant to its arbitration rules. Arbitration will be venued in Los Angeles County or Orange County, California USA (the “Agreed Forum”). Each of the Company and Digital Offering agree that the Agreed Forum is not an “inconvenient forum” for proceedings hereunder, and each hereby agree to the personal jurisdiction of the Agreed Forum and that service of process by mail to the address for such party as set forth in this letter (or such other address as a party hereto shall notify the other in writing) constitute full and valid service for such proceedings.
 
9. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company agrees that neither Digital Offering nor its affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives of Digital Offering, its affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling Digital Offering or any of its affiliates, shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the engagement and transaction described herein in an amount excess of the actual fees paid to Digital Offering hereunder.
 
 
 
 
10. Announcement of Offering. If the Offering is consummated, Digital Offering may, at its own expense, place a customary announcement in such newspapers and periodicals as Digital Offering may desire announcing the closing of the Offering, the name of the Company, the securities issued and the gross proceeds of the Offering. The parties agree that any such announcement will be subject to approval by the Company prior to dissemination by Digital Offering and that such approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
 
11. Advice to the Board. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by us to you is solely for benefit and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to, without our prior written consent.
 
12. Other Engagements.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it does not claim any proprietary interest in the identity of any other entity in its industry or otherwise, and that the identity of any such entity is not confidential information under Appendix II of this engagement letter.
 
13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes and cancels any and all prior or contemporaneous arrangements, understandings and agreements, written or oral, between them relating to the subject matter hereof.
 
14. Successors and Assigns. The benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the parities hereto, their respective successors and assigns and to the indemnified parties hereunder and their respective successors and assigns, and the obligations and liabilities assumed in this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

APPENDIX I
 
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
 
Capitalized terms used in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.
 
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Digital Offering and its respective affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, including any and all Soliciting Dealers, and controlling persons (Digital Offering and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions, including shareholder actions, in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise, which are related to or result from the performance by Digital Offering of the services contemplated by, or the engagement of Digital Offering pursuant to, this Agreement, the breach by the Company of any covenant, agreement or representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in the transaction documents for the offering contemplated by this Agreement, or in the Representation Letter and will promptly reimburse any Indemnified Party on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense arising from any threatened or pending claim, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement provisions, (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Digital Offering’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of Digital Offering pursuant to, or the performance by Digital Offering of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Digital Offering’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
 
 
 
 
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any intention or threat to commence an action, suit or proceeding or notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and an Indemnified Party may employ counsel to participate in the defense of any such action provided, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or that a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Company that makes it impossible or inadvisable for counsel to the Indemnifying Party to conduct the defense of both the Company and the Indemnified Party (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (iii) the Company has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, suit or proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of the Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay fees and expenses for more than one firm of attorneys representing Indemnified Parties unless the defense of one Indemnified Party is unique from that of another Indemnified Party subject to the same claim or action. Any failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give the notice referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Company, or prejudices its ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
 
If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is for any reason held unenforceable by an Indemnified Party, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held unenforceable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and Digital Offering on the other hand, of the Offering as contemplated whether or not the Offering is consummated or, (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand and Digital Offering, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits to the Company and Digital Offering of the Offering as contemplated shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value received or contemplated to be received by the Company or its shareholders, as the case may be, as a result of or in connection with the Offering bear to the fees paid or to be paid to Digital Offering under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that Digital Offering shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which fees paid to Digital Offering hereunder (excluding reimbursable expenses), exceeds the amount of any damages which Digital Offering has otherwise been required to pay.
 
 
 
 
The Company agrees that without the prior written consent of Digital Offering, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement (in which Digital Offering or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.
 
In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse Digital Offering on a monthly basis for all expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.
 
If multiple claims are brought with respect to at least one of which indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this Agreement, the Company agrees that any judgment or arbitration award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for, except to the extent the judgment or arbitrate award expressly states that it, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which indemnification is not available.
 
 
 
APPENDIX II
 
INFORMATION TO BE SUPPLIED; CONFIDENTIALITY
 
Capitalized terms used in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement to which this Appendix is attached.
 
In connection with the activities of Digital Offering on behalf of the Company as set forth in the engagement agreement to which this Appendix is attached (the “Agreement”), the Company will furnish Digital Offering with all financial and other information regarding the Company that Digital Offering reasonably believes appropriate to its engagement (all such information so furnished by the Company, whether furnished before or after the date of this Agreement, being referred to, collectively with the Placement Materials, as the “Confidential Information”). The Company will provide Digital Offering with access to the officers, directors, employees, independent accountants, legal counsel, and other advisors and consultants of the Company. The Company recognizes and agrees that Digital Offering (i) will use and rely primarily on the Confidential Information and information available from generally recognized public sources in performing the services contemplated by this Agreement without independently verifying the Confidential Information or such other information, (ii) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or such other information, and (iii) will not make an appraisal of any assets or liabilities owned or controlled by the Company or its market competitors.
 
Digital Offering will maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information during the Term of this Agreement and following the termination or expiration of the Term and, unless and until such information shall have been made publicly available by the Company or by others without breach of a confidentiality agreement, shall disclose the Information only to its officers, employees, legal counsel, and authorized representatives, as authorized by the Company or as required by law or by order of a governmental authority or court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that Digital Offering is legally required to make disclosure of any of the Confidential Information, Digital Offering will: (i) give prompt notice to the Company prior to such disclosure, to the extent that Digital Offering can practically do so, (ii) reasonably assist the Company at the Company’s cost in seeking a protective order or other relief from the disclosure of the Confidential Information and (iii) if compelled to disclose Confidential Information, limit such disclosure to only those matters which it is compelled to disclose.
 
The term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure thereof by Digital Offering or any Investor; (ii) was available on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure; or (iii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a third party source who is not known to be under a confidentiality obligation.
 
 
 
 
              Notwithstanding the foregoing, Digital Offering, as a FINRA Member Firm, shall be permitted to retain one copy of any Confidential Information provided hereunder to the extent required by its compliance procedures and may disclose such Confidential Information to representatives of FINRA or the SEC, to the extent required by applicable rules and regulations of such regulatory bodies, without prior notice to the Company.
 
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of Digital Offering or its respective affiliates to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial advisory or any other business relationship with entities other than the Company, notwithstanding that such entities may be engaged in a business which is similar to or competitive with the business of the Company, and notwithstanding that such entities may have actual or potential operations, products, services, plans, ideas, customers or supplies similar or identical to the Company’s, or may have been identified by the Company as potential merger or acquisition targets or potential candidates for some other business combination, cooperation or relationship. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that it does not claim any proprietary interest in the identity of any other entity in its industry or otherwise, and that the identity of any such entity is not Confidential Information for purposes hereof.

(c) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each Holder to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall, if a Holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such Holder.
 
(d) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the Redemption Shares is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the Holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.
 
(e) Put Option. Commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Series A Original Issue Date, unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, any Holder may, by providing a written request to the Corporation, require the Corporation to purchase some or all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder at a price per share equal to $3.75, or 150% of the Series A Original Issue Price (the “Repurchase Price”), and the Corporation shall promptly purchase such shares of Series A Preferred Stock so specified and owned by the Holder thereof. Any such written request shall be accompanied by, the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), and thereupon the Repurchase Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event that a Holder shall require the Corporation to purchase a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that is less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not so repurchased shall promptly be issued to such Holder.

Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed or repurchased pursuant to Section 7 herein, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock following redemption.
 
Section 9. Conversion Rights. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:
 
(a) Conversions Price. The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall equal $2.50, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).
 
(b) Optional Conversion.
 
(i) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Series A Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof and without the payment of additional consideration, into that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price of such share of Series A Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price.
 
(ii) Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall give written notice to the Corporation by providing the Corporation with the written notice (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation to such Holder. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such delivery of shares of Common Stock, and the person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares on such date.
 
(c) Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the trading price of the Corporation’s Common Stock is greater than the Series A Original Issue Price, the Corporation may deliver a written notice to all Holders to cause each Holder to convert all or part of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock (as specified in such notice). The Corporation shall promptly deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 9(c) to each Holder. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such delivery of the Conversion Shares, and the person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of the Conversion Shares on such date.
 
 
6
 
 
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
(e) Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of a Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term “Common Stock Event” shall mean (i) the issue by the Corporation of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
 
(f) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(a), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Section 9(e), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Conversion Shares into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 9(f) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 9 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
(g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the Corporation’s authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a number of the Corporation’s authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that shall from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders, except that a waiver by the Requisite Holders or two-thirds of the Holders, as applicable, will constitute a waiver of all Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation on any other occasion.

(a) Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation Event”) or Deemed Liquidation Event, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid a liquidation preference out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, but pari passu with the holders of shares of Parity Securities on a pro rata basis (as provided in Section 4 above) in an amount per share equal to the Series B Original Issue Price, plus any Accrued Dividends. The Corporation shall provide written notice of any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event promptly to each Holder, and not less than 15 days prior to the payment date stated therein.
 
(b) Insufficient Assets. If upon any such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the Holders the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 5, the Holders shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
 
Section 6. Voting Rights. As long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of Holders, voting together as a class, (a) authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior in rights to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend and other distribution rights, preference or other rights on redemption, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation (other than in connection with the acquisition of assets in a transaction that is approved by the Requisite Holders) or (b) amend its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely alter or change the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation in a manner that materially and adversely alters or changes the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock. Except as set forth in this Section 6, Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
 
Section 7. Redemption; Put Option.
 
(a) Redemption Generally. Unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Series B Original Issue Date, any or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Shares”) may be redeemed by the Corporation at a price per share equal to $15.00, or 150% of the Series B Original Issue Price (the “Redemption Price”). On each date of such redemption (the “Redemption Date”), the Corporation shall redeem, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by each Holder, the Redemption Shares.
 
 
 
4
 
 
 
(b) Redemption Notice. The Corporation shall send written notice of the redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each Holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock not less than forty (40) days prior to each Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice shall state:
 
(i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Holder that the Corporation shall redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;
 
(ii) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price; and
 
(iii) for Holders of shares in certificated form, that the Holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
 
(c) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each Holder to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall, if a Holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such Holder.
 
(d) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the Redemption Shares is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the Holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.
 
(e) Put Option. Commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Series B Original Issue Date, unless prohibited by Nevada law governing distributions to stockholders, any Holder may, by providing a written request to the Corporation, require the Corporation to purchase some or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder at a price per share equal to $15.00, or 150% of the Series B Original Issue Price (the “Repurchase Price”), and the Corporation shall promptly purchase such shares of Series B Preferred Stock so specified and owned by the Holder thereof.

In the event that a Holder shall require the Corporation to purchase a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that is less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock not so repurchased shall promptly be issued to such Holder.

“19.            
Use of Note Proceeds; Purpose and Conditions to Usage. The Company can only use the Note proceeds as the equity component, up to 25% of the total capitalized cost, in the Company’s investment acquisitions of manufactured housing properties. Further, the Company shall not, without the written consent of Holder, permit the indebtedness (including without limitation any senior debt, junior debt and seller financing) on any investment acquisition of a manufactured home property in which Note proceeds are used to complete the acquisition to exceed 75% of the total capitalized cost of the investment acquisition. The phrase “total capitalized cost” in the foregoing sentence shall mean all costs necessary to acquire a manufactured home property, including without limitation, the purchase price, closing costs, commissions, fees, tax adjustments and other ordinary costs of acquisition. In addition to the foregoing, the Company is required to expend 10% of the principal amount of this Note (i.e., $300,000 in the aggregate) separate and apart from the Note proceeds as equity investments in acquisitions of manufactured housing properties. (As of May 8, 2017, the Company has provided evidence satisfactory to Holder of the Company’s minimum $300,000 of equity investment in relation to the acquisition of manufactured housing properties by the following: (a) Butternut MHP Land LLC and Butternut MHP Homes LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company, and (b) Pecan Grove MHP LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company.) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Company allow or cause (i) any indebtedness to be placed at any Person comprising an investment, or (ii) Note proceeds to be used to repay the 10% equity investments (and such 10% equity must be maintained at all times during the term of this Note), in each case, without the prior written consent of Holder. The proceeds of this Note shall be available in multiple draws (in a minimum of at least $50,000 increments unless such draw is for the entire remaining undisbursed principal) but this Note is not a revolving note and no amount prepaid or repaid will be available for borrowing. The Company shall provide Holder with at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of the amount and date of any requested draw of Note proceeds along with evidence demonstrating compliance with the conditions herein stated (each a “Draw Request”). Section 7 above notwithstanding, a Draw Request may be made by email communication and will be deemed delivered when acknowledged by Holder.
 
8. Except as modified in paragraphs 1 through 4 above, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as originally written.
 
9. This Amendment may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which constitute collectively, one agreement; but in making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart.

If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding changes by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the number and kind of securities subject to and reserved under the Plan, together with applicable exercise prices, shall be appropriately adjusted. No fractional shares shall be issued pursuant to the Plan and any fractional shares resulting from adjustments shall be eliminated from the respective Incentive Awards, with an appropriate cash adjustment for the value of any Incentive Awards eliminated.
 
ARTICLE 5
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
5.1           Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Options under the Plan. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the initial grant of a Stock Option for the subsequent automatic grant of additional Stock Options for the number of shares, if any, that are subject to the initial Stock Option and surrendered to the Company in connection with the exercise of the initial or any subsequently granted Stock Option. Stock Options shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. In addition, the Committee may vary, among Participants and among Stock Options granted to the same Participant, any and all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Options granted under the Plan. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Stock Options granted to each participant. The Committee may designate whether a Stock Option awarded to an employee is to be considered an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code. In no event shall the aggregate Market Value (determined at the time the option is awarded) of Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and all Subsidiaries) exceed $100,000. Any options granted in excess of this limit shall be treated as nonqualified stock options.
 
5.2           Stock Option Agreements. Stock Options shall be evidenced by stock option agreements containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall from time to time determine. To the extent not covered by the stock option agreement, the terms and conditions of this Section 5 shall govern.
 
 
 
5
 
5.3           Stock Option Price. The per share Stock option price shall be determined by the Committee, but shall be a price that is equal to or higher than the par value of the Company's Common Stock; provided, that the per share Stock Option price for any shares designated as incentive stock options shall be equal to or greater than 100% of the Market Value on the date of grant.
 
5.4           Medium and Time of Payment. The exercise price for each share purchased pursuant to a Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be payable in cash or, if the Committee consents, in shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock to be received upon a simultaneous exercise) or other consideration substantially equivalent to cash. The time and terms of payment may be amended with the consent of a Participant before or after exercise of a Stock Option. The Committee may from time to time authorize payment of all or a portion of the Stock Option price in the form of a promissory note or other deferred payment installments according to such terms as the Committee may approve. The Board may restrict or suspend the power of the Committee to permit such loans and may require that adequate security be provided.
 
5.5           Stock Options Granted to Ten Percent Stockholders. No Stock Option granted to any Participant who at the time of such grant owns, together with stock attributed to such Participant under Section 424(d) of the Code, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be designated as an incentive stock option, unless such Stock Option provides an exercise price equal to at least 110% of the Market Value of the Common Stock and the exercise of the Stock Option after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant of the Stock option is prohibited by its terms.
 
5.6           Limits on Exercisability. Stock options shall be exercisable for such periods, not to exceed ten years from the date of grant, as may be fixed by the Committee. At the time of the exercise of a Stock Option, the holder of the Stock Option, if requested by the Committee, must represent to the Company that the shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Committee may in its discretion require a Participant to continue the Participant's service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for a certain length of time prior to a Stock Option becoming exercisable and may eliminate such delayed vesting provisions.
 
5.7           Restrictions on Transferability.
 
(a)
General. Unless the Committee otherwise consents (before or after the option grant) or unless the stock option agreement or grant provides otherwise; (i) no incentive stock option granted under the Plan may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and (ii) non-qualified stock options with or without tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may be transferred by a Participant to Permitted Transferees, and may be exercised either by the Participant, his guardian or legal representative, or by a Permitted Transferee, provided, that as a condition to any such transfer the transferee must execute a written agreement permitting the Company to withhold from the shares subject to the Incentive Award a number of shares having a Market Value at least equal to the amount of any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes associated with or resulting from the exercise of a Stock Option. "Permitted Transferees" means a member of a Participant’s immediate family, trusts for the benefit of such immediate family members, and partnerships in which the Participant and/or such immediate family members are the only partners, provided that no consideration is provided for the transfer. Immediate family members shall include Participant’s spouse, descendants (children, grandchildren and more remote descendants), and shall include step-children and relationships arising from legal adoption.
 
 
 
6
 
(b)
Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option under the Plan as the Committee deems advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.
 
5.9            
Termination of Status.
 
(a) 
General. If an employee ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for any reason, if a director ceases to serve as a director of the Company for any reason, or if a consultant ceases rendering services for the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than the Participant's death, disability, or termination for Cause, the Participant may exercise his Stock Options only for a period of three months after such termination of employment, director or consultant status, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Options on the date of termination, unless the Committee otherwise consents, or the terms of the stock option agreement or grant provide otherwise, or as provided in this Article Five with respect to nonqualified stock options. For purposes of the Plan, the following shall not be deemed a termination of employment status: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) an employee's leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) an employee's leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided that the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract.
 
(b) 
Death. If a Participant dies either while an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or after the termination of employment other than for Cause but during the time when the Participant could have exercised a Stock Option under the Plan, or if a director or consultant dies while serving as a director or consultant of the Company or after ceasing to be a director or consultant but during such time as the director, former director, consultant or former consultant could have exercised a Stock Option under the Plan, the Stock Option issued to such Participant shall be exercisable by the personal representative of such Participant or such other successor to the interest of the Participant for one year after the Participant's death, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Option on the date of death or termination of employment or status as a director or consultant, whichever first occurred, unless the Committee otherwise consents or the terms of the stock option agreement or grant provide otherwise.
 
(c) 
Disability. If a Participant ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, due to the Participant's disability, the Participant may exercise a Stock Option for a period of one year following such termination of employment, director or consultant status, but only to the extent that the Participant or director was entitled to exercise the Stock Option on the date of such event, unless the Committee otherwise consents or the terms of the Stock Option agreement or grant provide otherwise.
 
 
 
7
 
(d) 
Participant Retirement. If a Participant Retires as an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or if a director retires, any nonqualified Stock Option granted under the Plan may be exercised during the remaining term of the Stock Option, unless the terms of the stock option agreement or grant provide otherwise.
 
(e) 
Termination for Cause. If a Participant is terminated for Cause, the Participant shall have no further right to exercise any Stock Option previously granted, unless the Committee and the Board determine otherwise.
 
5.10           Investment Purpose. Each Option under the Plan shall be granted on the condition that the purchase of the shares of Common Stock thereunder shall be for investment purposes, and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof; provided, however, that in the event the shares of stock subject to such Option are registered under the Securities Act or in the event a resale of such shares of stock without such registration would otherwise be permissible, such condition shall be inoperative if in the opinion of counsel for the Company such condition is not required under the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, or rule of any governmental agency.
 
 
ARTICLE SIX
 
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
 
6.1           Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan and such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. A Stock Appreciation Right may relate to a particular Stock Option and may be granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the Stock Option to which it relates. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as Stock Options under Article Five of the Plan. To the extent granted in tandem with a Stock Option, the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall, in exchange for the right to exercise a related Stock Option, entitle a Participant to an amount equal to the appreciation in value of the shares covered by the related Stock Option surrendered. Such appreciation in value shall be equal to the excess of the Market Value of such shares at the time of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the option price of such shares.
 
6.2           Exercise; Payment. To the extent granted in tandem with a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only when a related Stock Option could be exercised and only when the Market Value of the stock subject to the Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of the Stock Option. The Committee shall have discretion to determine the form of payment made upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, which could take the form of shares of Common Stock.

7.2            
Termination of Employment Status.
 
(a) 
General. In the event of termination of employment status during the Restricted Period for any reason other than death, disability, Retirement or termination for Cause, then any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restrictions at the date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company; provided, that in the event of a voluntary or involuntary termination of the employment status of a Participant by the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such shares of Restricted Stock and/or may add such new restrictions to such shares of Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate. For purposes of the Plan, the following shall not be considered a termination of employment status: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed of 90 days; (iii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided that the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract.
 
(b) 
Death, Retirement of Disability. Unless the Committee otherwise consents or unless the terms of the restricted stock agreement or grant provide otherwise, in the event a Participant terminates his employment with the Company because of death, disability or Retirement during the Restricted Period, the restrictions applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock shall terminate automatically with respect to that number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to such Participant multiplied by the number of full months that have elapsed since the date of grant divided by the maximum number of full months of the Restricted Period. All remaining shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company; provided, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the restrictions remaining on any or all such remaining shares of Restricted Stock either before or after the death, disability or Retirement of the Participant.
 
(c)

The shares represented by this certificate were issued subject to certain restrictions under the Cap Rock Energy Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). A copy of the Plan is on file in the office of the Secretary of the Company. This certificate is held subject to the terms and conditions contained in a restricted stock agreement that includes a prohibition against the sale or transfer of the stock represented by this certificate except in compliance with that agreement and that provides for forfeiture upon certain events.
 
7.5           Representations and Warranties. A Participant who is awarded Restricted Stock shall represent and warrant that the Participant is acquiring the Restricted Stock for the Participant's own account and investment and without any intention to resell or redistribute the Restricted Stock.

A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to Restricted Stock held of record by such Participant as if the Participant held unrestricted Common Stock; provided, that the unvested portion of any award of Restricted Stock shall be subject to any restrictions on transferability or risks of forfeiture imposed pursuant to Article Seven of the Plan. Unless the Committee otherwise determines or unless the terms of the restricted stock agreement or grant provide otherwise, any noncash dividends or distributions paid with respect to shares of unvested Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate.

ARTICLE EIGHT
 
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
 
8.1           
Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Restricted Stock Units under the Plan and such RSU’s shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any RSU issued pursuant to the Plan will be a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock solely for purposes of the Plan and this Award Agreement. Each RSU issued pursuant to the Plan shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to the Participant if such RSU vests pursuant to the applicable RSU award agreement.

ARTICLE TEN
 
TAX BENEFIT RIGHTS
 
10.1           Grant. A Participant may be granted Tax Benefit Rights under the Plan to encourage a Participant to exercise Stock Options and provide certain tax benefits to the Company. A Tax Benefit Right entitles a Participant to receive from the Company or a Subsidiary a cash payment not to exceed the amount calculated by multiplying the ordinary income, if any, realized by the Participant for federal tax purposes as a result of the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, or the disqualifying disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option, by the maximum federal income tax rate (including any surtax or similar charge or assessment) for the Company, plus the applicable state and local tax imposed on the exercise of the Stock Option or the disqualifying disposition.
 
 
 
11
 
10.2           Restrictions. A Tax Benefit Right may be granted only with respect to a Stock Option issued and outstanding or to be issued under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries that has been approved by the Stockholders as of the date of the Plan and may be granted concurrently with or after the grant of the Stock Option. Such rights with respect to outstanding Stock Options shall be issued only with the consent of the Participant if the effect would be to disqualify an incentive stock option, change the date of grant or the exercise price or otherwise impair the Participant's existing Stock Options.
 
10.3           Terms and Conditions.

ARTICLE ELEVEN
 
CHANGE IN CONTROL

If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, then, unless the Committee or the Board otherwise determines with respect to one or more Incentive Awards, without action by the Committee or the Board: (a) all outstanding Stock Options shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable during the remaining term thereof, regardless of whether the Participants to whom such Stock Options have been granted remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary; and (b) all other outstanding Incentive Awards shall become immediately fully vested and nonforfeitable.
 
11.2           Cash Payment for Stock Options. If a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, then the Committee, in its sole discretion, and without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, may determine that some or all Participants holding outstanding Stock Options shall receive, with respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Options, as of the effective date of any such Change in Control of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the greater of the excess of (a) the highest sales price of the shares on the securities exchange or market on the date immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control of the Company or (b) the highest price per share actually paid in connection with such Change in Control of the Company, over the exercise price per share of such Stock Options.
 
 
ARTICLE TWELVE
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
12.1           No Rights to Award. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Incentive Award under the Plan and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of Participants or Participants or beneficiaries of Incentive Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Incentive Awards of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a waiver or modification of any Incentive Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect to each Participant.
 
 
 
12
 
12.2          Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary shall be entitled to: (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of a Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to a Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Award, including, without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an Incentive Award or a disqualifying disposition of Common Stock received upon exercise of an incentive stock option; or (b) require a Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action with respect to an Incentive Award. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, withholding may be satisfied by withholding Common Stock to be received upon exercise or by delivery to the Company of previously owned Common Stock. The Company may establish such rules and procedures concerning timing of any withholding election as it deems appropriate to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Act.
 
12.3          Compliance with Laws; Listing and Registration of Shares. All Incentive Awards granted under the Plan (and all issuances of Common Stock or other securities under the Plan) shall be subject to all applicable taws, rules and regulations, and to the requirement that if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of such Incentive Award or the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, such Incentive Award may not be exercised in whole or in part, or the restrictions on such Incentive Award shall not lapse, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
 
12.4          No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from approving or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
 
12.5           No Right to Employment. The grant of an Incentive Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any written agreement with a Participant.
 
12.6           Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada and applicable federal law.
 
12.7           Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
 
 
 
13
 
12.8           Employee’s Agreement to Serve. Each employee of the Company shall, as one of the terms of the Incentive Award, shall agree that such employee will remain in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary for a period of at least one (1) year from the date on which the Incentive Award shall be granted or issued, as applicable, to such employee; and that such employee will, during such employment, devote such employee's entire time, energy, and skill to the service of the Company or a Subsidiary as may be required by the management thereof, subject to vacations, sick leaves, and military absences. Such employment, subject to the provisions of any written contract between the Company or a Subsidiary and such employee, shall be at the pleasure of the Board of Directors of the Company or a Subsidiary, and at such compensation as the Company or a Subsidiary shall reasonably determine. Any termination of such employee's employment during the period which the employee has agreed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 to remain in employment that is either for cause or voluntary on the part of the employee shall be deemed a violation by the employee of such employee's agreement. In the event of such violation, any Incentive Award held by such employee, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall forthwith terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the preceding, neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan nor any action taken by the Company, a Subsidiary or the Committee under the provisions hereof shall be construed as granting the employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, or to limit or restrict the right of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, with or without cause.
 
12.9           
Adjustments on Changes in Capitalization.
 
(a) 
Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the Stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Incentive Award, the exercise price per share thereof specified in each Incentive Award, and the rights and privileges attendant to any outstanding Incentive Award shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company after the date such Incentive Award is made.
 
(b) 
Reorganization, Dissolution or Liquidation. Subject to any required action by the Stockholders of the Company, if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, each outstanding Incentive Award shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Incentive Award would have been entitled. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, shall cause each outstanding Option and each outstanding SAR to terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Committee (which date shall be as of or prior to the effective date of any such dissolution or liquidation or merger or consolidation); provided, that not less than thirty (30) days written notice of the date so fixed as such termination date shall be given to each Holder, and each Holder shall, in such event, have the right, during the such period of thirty (30) days preceding such termination date, to exercise such Holder's Options and SARs, as applicable, in whole or in part in the manner herein set forth. In the event of any recapitalization, reorganization, extraordinary dividend or distribution or restructuring transaction (including any distribution of shares of stock of any Subsidiary or other property to Participants of shares of Common Stock) affecting the Common Stock, the number of shares issuable under this Plan shall be subject to such adjustment as the Committee may deem appropriate, and the number of shares issuable pursuant to any Option or rights related to any SARs theretofore granted (whether or not then exercisable) and/or the exercise price per share of such Option and/or the rights related to such SARs, as applicable, shall be subject to such adjustment as the Committee may deem appropriate with a view toward preserving the value any of such Option and any such SARs, respectively.
 
 
 
14
 
(c) 
Change in Par Value. In the event of a change in the Common Stock of the Company as presently constituted, which change is limited to a change of all of its authorized shares with par value into the same number of shares with a different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any change shall be deemed to be the Common Stock within the meaning of the Plan.
 
(d) 
Notice of Adjustments. To the extent that the adjustments set forth in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 12.9 relate to the capital stock or securities of the Company, such adjustments, if any, shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive, provided that each incentive stock option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not be adjusted in a manner that causes the incentive stock option to fail to continue to qualify as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The Company shall give timely notice of any adjustments made to each holder of any Incentive Award under this Plan and such adjustments shall be effective and binding on the Participant.
 
12.10                      Effect of Certain Corporate Actions Upon Participants. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the holder of an Incentive Award shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, merger, reorganization, or consolidation, or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation, and any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to the Incentive Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made with respect to the number or price of shares subject to any Incentive Award granted hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
 
(a) 
The grant or exercise of any Incentive Awards which may be made (or, in the case of stock options, exercised) under the Plan or under any other employee benefit plan of the Company whether or not such Incentive Awards were outstanding on the date of making of the Incentive Award or thereafter made;
 
(b) 
The sale of any shares of Common Stock in any public offering of securities by the Company, including, without limitation, shares sold upon the exercise of any overallotment option granted to underwriters in connection with such offering;
 
(c) 
The issuance, sale or exercise of any warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock whether or not such warrants were outstanding on the date of making of any Incentive Award or thereafter issued;
 
(d) 
The issuance or sale of rights, promissory notes or other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such securities (the "Convertible Securities") whether or not such Convertible Securities were outstanding on the date of the making of the Incentive Award or were thereafter issued or sold;
 
(e) 
The issuance or sale of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, whether or not any adjustment in the purchase price was made or required to be made upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and whether or not such Convertible Securities were outstanding on the date of an Incentive Award or were thereafter issued or sold; or
 
 
 
15
 
(f) 
Upon any amendment to or change in the terms of any rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase, or options for the purchase of, Common Stock or Convertible Securities or in the terms of any Convertible Securities, including, but not limited to, any extension of any expiration date of any such right, warrant or option, any change in any exercise or purchase price provided for in any such right, warrant or option, any extension of any date through which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any change in the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.
 
12.11                      Right of Company to Make Adjustments. The grant of an Incentive Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or to suspend, terminate, amend or modify the Plan.
 
12.12                      No Obligation to Exercise Option or SAR. The granting of an Option or SAR pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation upon the Holder to exercise such Option or SAR.

  Exhibit 15.1
 
MANUFACTURED HOUSING PROPERTIES INC.
 
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
 
1.
Introduction.
 
1.1. The Board of Directors of Manufactured Housing Properties Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) has adopted this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (this “Code”) in order to:
 
(a) promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest;
 
(b) promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;
 
(c) promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
 
(d) deter wrongdoing; and
 
(e) ensure accountability for adherence to this Code.
 
1.2. All directors, officers and employees are required to be familiar with this Code, comply with its provisions and report any suspected violations as described below in Section 6.
 
2.
Honest and Ethical Conduct.
 
2.1. The Company’s policy is to promote high standards of integrity by conducting its affairs honestly and ethically.
 
2.2. Each director, officer and employee must act with integrity and observe the highest ethical standards of business conduct in his or her dealings with the Company’s customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, employees and anyone else with whom he or she has contact in the course of performing his or her job.
 
3.
Conflicts of Interest.
 
3.1. A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s private interest (or the interest of a member of his or her family) interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. A conflict of interest can arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.
 
 
 
 
 
3.2. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, employees or their family members are of special concern and could constitute improper personal benefits to the recipients of such loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, any director or executive officer are expressly prohibited.
 
3.3. Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest should be avoided unless specifically authorized as described in Section 3.4.
 
3.4. Persons other than directors and executive officers who have questions about a potential conflict of interest or who become aware of an actual or potential conflict should discuss the matter with, and seek a determination and prior authorization or approval from, their supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer. If the Company does not have a Chief Compliance Officer, then references in this Code to Chief Compliance Officer shall be deemed to be references to the Company’s President. A supervisor may not authorize or approve conflict of interest matters or make determinations as to whether a problematic conflict of interest exists without first providing the Chief Compliance Officer with a written description of the activity and seeking the Chief Compliance Officer’s written approval. If the supervisor is himself involved in the potential or actual conflict, the matter should instead be discussed directly with the Chief Compliance Officer.
 
3.5. Directors and executive officers must seek determinations and prior authorizations or approvals of potential conflicts of interest exclusively from the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists.
 
4.
Compliance.
 
4.1. Employees, officers and directors should comply, both in letter and spirit, with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the cities, states and countries in which the Company operates.
 
4.2. Although not all employees, officers and directors are expected to know the details of all applicable laws, rules and regulations, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from appropriate personnel. Questions about compliance should be addressed to the Chief Compliance Officer.
 
4.3. No director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any Company securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company, nor may any director, officer or employee purchase or sell another company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding that company. It is against Company policies and illegal for any director, officer or employee to use material non-public information regarding the Company or any other company to (a) obtain profit for himself or herself; or (b) directly or indirectly “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of that information.

5.
Disclosure.
 
5.1. The Company’s periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including all financial statements and other financial information, must comply with applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules.
 
5.2. Each director, officer and employee who contributes in any way to the preparation or verification of the Company’s financial statements and other financial information must ensure that the Company’s books, records and accounts are accurately maintained. Each director, officer and employee must cooperate fully with the Company’s accounting and internal audit departments, as well as the Company’s independent public accountants and counsel.
 
5.3. Each director, officer and employee who is involved in the Company’s disclosure process must: (a) be familiar with and comply with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting; and (b) take all necessary steps to ensure that all filings with the SEC and all other public communications about the financial and business condition of the Company provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.
 
6.
Reporting.
 
6.1. Actions prohibited by this Code involving directors or executive officers must be reported to the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists.
 
6.2. Actions prohibited by this Code involving any other person must be reported to the reporting person’s supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer.
 
6.3. After receiving a report of an alleged prohibited action, the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists, the relevant supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer must promptly take all appropriate actions necessary to investigate.
 
6.4. All directors, officers and employees are expected to cooperate in any internal investigation of misconduct.
 
7.
Enforcement.
 
7.1. The Company must ensure prompt and consistent action against violations of this Code.
 
7.2. If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by a director or executive officer, the Audit Committee determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the Audit Committee will report such determination to the full Board of Directors.
 
7.3. If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by any other person, the relevant supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer will report such determination to the President or the General Counsel, if the Company has a General Counsel.
 
 
 
3
 
 
7.4. Upon receipt of a determination that there has been a violation of this Code, the Board of Directors or the President or General Counsel will take such preventative or disciplinary action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, reassignment, demotion, dismissal and, in the event of criminal conduct or other serious violations of the law, notification of appropriate governmental authorities.
 
8.
Waivers.
 
8.1. Each of the Audit Committee (or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists) (in the case of a violation by a director or executive officer) and the President or General Counsel (in the case of a violation by any other person) may, in its discretion, waive any violation of this Code.
 
8.2. Any waiver for a director or an executive officer shall be disclosed as required by SEC rules and the applicable rules of any trading market on which the Company’s securities are listed or quoted.
 
9.
Prohibition on Retaliation.
 
The Company does not tolerate acts of retaliation against any director, officer or employee who makes a good faith report of known or suspected acts of misconduct or other violations of this Code.
