Forge Innovation Development Corp. and Subsidiary

 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

 

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

 

Forge Innovation Development Corp. (individually “Forge” and collectively with its subsidiary, the “Company”), was initially incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 15, 2016 under the name of You-Go Enterprises, LLC (the “Company Predecessor”). On November 3, 2016, Forge amended its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change the Company Predecessor’s name to Forge Innovation Development Corp. Our current principle executive office is located at 6280 Mission Blvd Unit 205, Jurupa Valley, CA 92509. The Company’s main business focuses on real estate development, land purchasing and selling and property management. The Company’s common stock is currently traded on OTCQB under the symbol “FGNV”.

 

On August 17, 2020, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Forge Network Inc, in the State of California. As of March 31, 2023, we have not generated any income from the subsidiary due to our business strategy adjustment.

 

On March 24, 2023, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Forge and Legend Investment Management, LLC (“Legend LLC” or the “Seller”), the Company acquired 77.3% of Legend LLC’s 66% ownership of Legend International Investment, LP (“Legend LP”). Legend LP owns 100% of Mission Marketplace; a grocery anchored shopping center (the “Property”) located at 6240 Mission Boulevard in Jurupa Valley, California. The Property contains two, one-story and one, two-story buildings containing 48,722 total square foot of gross leasable area situated on a 4.51acre site.

 

A relative of the President of Forge has significant influence of the Seller’s management, therefore the acquisition is being treated as a related party transaction. The Company acquired 51% interest of Legend LP from Legend LLC in exchanged for 1,967,143 common stocks of the Company, valued at $0.70 per share for a total purchase price of $1,377,000. 51% of Legend LP approximate valued at $2,700,000 based on (1) the Property’s valuation appraisal report dated on February 20, 2023, (2) Legend LP’s net book value as of February 28, 2023, and (3) the loan agreement to Legend LP by a third-party lender effective on March 23, 2023. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the Company owns 51% of Legend LP and the Seller owns 15% of Legend LP.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Financial Statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach, which applies the new standard to contracts that are not completed as of the date of adoption. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.

 

Revenue streams that are scoped into ASU 2014-09 include:

 

Property management services: The Company deals directly with prospects and tenants for the owners of properties, which mainly includes marketing property, collecting rent, handling maintenance, repairing issues and responding to tenant complaints. The Company recognizes revenue as earned on a monthly basis and has concluded this is appropriate under the new standard.

 

Real estate sales: The Company accounts for the sale of real estate assets and any related gain recognition in accordance with the accounting guidance applicable to sales of real estate, which establishes standards for recognition of profit on all real estate sales transactions, other than retail land sales. The Company recognizes the sale, and associated gain or loss from the disposition, provided that the earnings process is complete, and the Company does not have significant continuing involvement. Subsequent to the adoption of the new standard, the Company may recognize a gain on a real estate disposition that previously did not qualify as a sale or for full profit recognition due to the timing of the transfer of control.

 

Business Combination

 

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities over the fair value of purchase consideration is recorded as gain on bargain purchase included in other income on the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests are portions of entities included in the condensed consolidated financial statements that are not attributable to the Company. Non-controlling interests are identified separately from the Company’s stockholders’ equity and its net income (loss). Non-controlling interest equity balances include the non-controlling entity’s initial contribution at the date of the original acquisition, on-going contributions, distributions, and percentage share of earnings since inception. The non-controlling interests are calculated based on percentages of ownership.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the current accounting guidance and requires the use of the new forward-looking “expected loss” model, which requires all expected losses to be determined based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, rather than the “incurred loss” model. This guidance amends the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, which had no impact on the beginning balance of the Company’s balance as there was no receivable balances as of January 1, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

The management does not believe that other than disclosed above, the recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial position results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 3 - Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. However, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,093,923 as of March 31, 2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon several factors, including the availability of debt or equity funding upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Company and ultimately achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company’s business plan provides it with an opportunity to continue as a going concern. However, management cannot provide assurance that the Company will meet its objectives and be able to continue in operation.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of Forge Innovation Development Corp. to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 – Income Taxes

 

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the period presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation

 

This 10−Q contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.

 

Overview

 

Forge Innovation Development Corp. is a development stage company and was incorporated in the State of Nevada in January 2016. The Company’s primary objective is commercial and residential land development, including the purchase and sale of real estate, targeting properties primarily in Southern California. We also intend to manage properties we own, and properties owned by unaffiliated third parties. Our activities will include securing acquisition rights to properties, obtaining zoning and other entitlements for the properties, securing financing for purchase of the properties, improving the properties’ infrastructure and amenities and selling the properties to homeowner and commercial owners for restaurants, offices and small businesses.

 

On August 17, 2020, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Forge Network Inc, in the State of California. As of March 31, 2023, we have not generated any income from the subsidiary due to our business strategy adjustment.

 

On March 24, 2023, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Forge Innovation Development Corp. (the “Company” or the “Buyer”) and Legend Investment Management, LLC (“Legend LLC” or the “Seller”), the Company acquired 77.3% of Legend LLC’s 66% ownership of Legend International Investment, LP (“Legend LP”). Legend LP owns 100% of Mission Marketplace; a grocery anchored shopping center (the “Property”) located at 6240 Mission Boulevard in Jurupa Valley, California. The Property contains two, one-story and one, two-story buildings containing 48,722 total square foot of gross leasable area situated on a 4.51acre site.

 

A relative of the President of Forge has significant influence of the Seller’s management, therefore the acquisition is being treated as a related party transaction. The Company acquired 51% interest of Legend LP from Legend LLC in exchanged for 1,967,143 common stocks of the Company, valued at $0.70 per share for a total purchase price of $1,377,000, which equals 51% of Legend LP’s approximate net value of $2,700,000 based on (1) the Property’s valuation appraisal report dated on February 20, 2023, (2) Legend LP’s net book value as of February 28, 2023, and (3) the loan agreement to Legend LP by a third-party lender effective on March 23, 2023. After the closing of the acquisition, the Company will own 51% of Legend LP and the Seller will own 15% of Legend LP.

Results of Operation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had total revenue of $45,000, as compared to $15,604 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $29,396 or 188%. The increase was mainly due to the newly signed property management agreement with Legend LP in 2022.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $42,524 and $36,561, respectively. The increasing was mainly attributable to the increase in legal and audit fees due to the acquisition of Legend LP’s interest occurred in the first quarter of 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our net income was $471,656. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $30,757. The change was mainly due to the gain on bargain purchase resulting from the acquisition of Legend LP’s interest, compared to the same period last year.

 

Equity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses since inception of our business in 2016, except for current quarter, and as of March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,093,923. As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $8,943 and a negative working capital of $4,730,984, compared to cash of $11,734 and a negative working capital of $140,204 as of December 31, 2022. The increase in the working capital deficiency was primarily due to cash used to pay for operating expenses and assumed loans from the acquisition of Legend LP’s interest.

 

Going Concern Assessment

 

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically cash outflow from operating activities, operating losses, accumulated deficit and other adverse key financial ratios.

 

Management’s plan to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include attempting to improve its business profitability, its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations and execute the business plan of the Company in order to meet its operating needs on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing capital expenditures and other requirements.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires making estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The critical accounting policies are discussed in further detail in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
