Item 1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

The information discussed in this item should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes appearing under Item 3 of this Semi-Annual Report.

 

Overview

 

Paradyme Equities, LLC is an emerging growth company that was formed on May 16, 2017. Our current focus is to invest in multifamily, self-storage and mixed-use commercial properties. The Company

 

Prior to the start of 2021, we had commenced only limited operations, primarily focused on organizational matters in connection with our offering of Class A Interests pursuant to our Offering Circular under Regulation A+ that was qualified on October 14, 2020.

 

We began actively seeking potential investment opportunities in 2021, and have acquired and/or invested in three properties and have made one loan which has already been repaid. We do not intend to make additional investments at this time.

 

Havasu RV / Boat Luxury Storage Condominium Project

 

On September 9, 2021, the Company completed a $4 million equity investment in a luxury 208 unit condominium development project for RV and Boat storage on a 224,000 square foot site in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The purchase price was $2,500,000.

 

The project is located within an “Opportunity Zone.” An Opportunity Zone is a designation and investment program created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 allowing for certain investments in lower income areas to have tax advantages.

 

Our anticipated exit strategies are to either resell all of the units or resell a portion of the units while keeping the remaining units as long-term rental units with lease periods in excess of twelve (12) months.

 

Pine Street Project

 

In Q3 of 2021 the Company acquired a $1.1 million investment opportunity in the Pine Street Apartments in San Antonio, Texas being developed by Figurd, LLC.  The Pine Street Apartments will be a 21-unit urban infill apartment complex in a neighborhood currently experiencing high growth and renewal. Pine Street Apartments is located on a corner lot with alley access. This three-floor, 29,000 square foot residential condominium project will offer 100% market-rate units.

 

We have submitted our plans to the city and were granted the full approvals and permits for the project.  They are ready to be assigned to a general contractor once a contract is in place.  In the meantime, we hired a project manager to review the budget, market study and plans, to continue to value engineer the budget to ensure that all possible options have been considered.

 

Tracy Lane

 

In February 2022, the Company made a $500,000 secured loan to Greater Nashville Development Company, LLC to acquire approximately 43 acres of land located at 0 Tracy Lane, Clarksville, TN 37040. The loan was repaid in September, 2022. The property is owned by an Affiliate of the developer and our Manager and will be purchased and developed by an Affiliate of our Manager.

The Ranch

 

In or around March of 2022, the Company acquired a property at 703 Williams Rd, Rogersville TN, 37857 via its wholly owned subsidiary, 703 Williams Ranch, LLC a Tennessee limited liability company. The purchase price for the property was $1.1M with a seller carry back of $600K at 4%. The Company intends to remodel the property to serve as a corporate retreat property. On March 17, 2022, Paradyme Equities loaned out to its affiliate $600,000 for the purchase of land, located at 703 Williams Ranch, Rogersville, TN and took ownership of 703 Williams Ranch, LLC as security.  The purpose of the loan is to evaluate the potential for the land and property to be utilized as a location for a corporate retreat facility.  The property is currently undergoing renovations to build a second dwelling on the property and to update the primary structure.  Renovations would add approximately 2400 sq ft of living space and is estimated to increase the property’s value by $400,000, leaving the after-renovation value at an estimated $2,200,000.  The Company’s Manager intends to buy the Company out of its position in the property through a refinance at some time in the future and return the invested amount with interest of 8%.

 

At this point, our Regulation A offering has expired, and we do not intend to raise additional funds. Consequently, the Company’s only investments will be those above detailed.

 

Investment Holding Periods and Exit Strategies

 

During the initial 12-48 months of owning and managing a property, the Company will analyze the market conditions in the area where the project is located. Simultaneously, we will investigate current interest rates. The Company will then determine whether the property should be maintained, refinanced, restructured (i.e. condominium conversion), or sold (disposition).

 

The Manager currently intends to operate the Company for up to four (4) years. The Manager may employ multiple exit strategies including, but not limited to, the following:

 

 

·

Sale of Properties. If the market allows for a successful sale of the properties to third parties or to Affiliate of the Manager so that the Members may realize appreciation, the Company will look to sell all of the properties owned by the Company to such third-party or Affiliates of the Manager.

 

 

 

 

·

Refinance the Properties and hold. The Manager expects the Properties owned by the Company will have leverage not to exceed a 80% loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio. If the then appraised values of the properties show all Members may receive: a) their return of capital, and b) realized appreciation on the properties, the Company may elect to refinance the properties and return capital and any remaining appreciation.

 

 

 

 

·

Sale to a Public Real Estate Investment Trust. The Manager may find that the properties are attractive purchases for certain public Real Estate Investment Trusts. The Manager may elect to a) sell the properties outright to the individual trust; b) sell the properties to the real estate investment trust in exchange for equity in the trust (stock) and cash (depending on the appreciation value); or c) create its own real estate investment trust to which the properties may be sold or exchanged. Note: if the Members were to receive stock of the purchaser real estate investment trust in exchange for their Interests, the Members may be able to sell their shares on the public exchange of which the public real estate investment trust is traded, so long as it is traded.

 

The Company will make a decision regarding the appropriate exit strategy at the time in accordance with market conditions.

 

Impact of Covid-19 on Our Business

 

Since first reported in December 2019, the novel coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.  The pandemic has significantly adversely affected U.S. and global economic activity, resulting in a global recession, and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, in the United States, certain states and cities, including in our geographic target markets, have reacted by instituting various restrictive measures such as quarantines, restrictions on travel, "stay at home" rules, limitations on the size of gatherings, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting almost every industry directly or indirectly and is having an outsized impact on the U.S. real estate industry. For the Company, we may experience increased construction costs, trouble in obtaining services and materials, eviction moratoriums, increased operating costs, or other consequences unforeseen at this time. The full impact that the pandemic may have on the Company cannot be ascertained at this time.

Results of Operations

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022

 

As we began operations in 2021, we generated limited revenues of $360 for the period ended June 30, 2022. This is $360 more than the $0 we generated for the period ended June 30, 2021.  We incurred no expenses associated with sales and marketing activities for the period.

 

Assets

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had current assets of $575,665.60, consisting of cash on hand of $575,665.60.  Cash on hand is associated with the funds we had received from investors in connection with our Regulation A offering.   This compares to total current assets of $815,881 consisting of $790,000 cash on hand in the same period of the prior year.  In addition, we had fixed assets of $7,337,246.52 consisting of real estate investments and holdings.  This compares to total fixed assets of $250,000 in the same period of the prior year.  As of June 30, 2022, our total assets were $7,912,912.12.

 

Liabilities

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had an outstanding liabilities of $8,564,071.32.  After net-income and other adjustments, total liabilities and member equity was $7,912,912.12.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 2, 2021, the Company had raised $5,040,926 pursuant to the Regulation A offering.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company had raised $8,564,071.32 pursuant to the offering.  We believe that the amount we have raised to date in the Regulation A offering may not be sufficient to fund our expenses over the next twelve months. The Company may be required to raise additional equity or take on additional debt. 

 

The Company currently has no binding agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.  As such, in order for us to close successfully on any potential investments we will need to either raise sufficient additional funds in the Offering or be able to borrow adequate funds.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Since our formation, our Manager had loaned the Company $79,365 on a no interest basis.  Of that amount, $79,365 has been utilized for the payment of legal and accounting costs.  Subsequent to June 30, 2021 the Company had raised a sufficient amount of capital such that our Manager agreed to convert this loan into a Class B equity interest, thereby increasing the Class B Member’s capital account balance with respect to such interests.  In February 2022, the Company made a $500,000 secured loan to Greater Nashville Development Company, LLC to acquire approximately 43 acres of land located at 0 Tracy Lane, Clarksville, TN 37040. The loan was repaid in September, 2022. The property is owned by an Affiliate of the developer and our Manager and will be purchased and developed by an Affiliate of our Manager.  On March 17, 2022 the Company loaned out $600,000 to an affiliate for the purchase of land, located at 703 Williams Ranch, Rogersville, TN and took ownership of 703 Williams Ranch, LLC as security.  The Company’s Manager intends to buy the Company out of its position in the 703 Williams Ranch property through a refinance at some time in the future and return the invested amount with interest of 8%

Going Concern Consideration

 

Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern and our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of the date of this Semi-Annual Report. we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our Members or investors.

 

Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act 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 that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and thus, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of other reporting companies. Accordingly, until the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively opt out of the exemption, upon the issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

PARADYME EQUITIES, LLC (“the Company”) is a limited liability company established by the manager to invest in real estate investments.  The Company is headquartered in California.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the years presented have been included. 

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history.  The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States.  A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, changes in regulations or restrictions in imports, competition, or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company is operating as a going concern.  See Note 9 for additional information.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account.   The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.  As of June 30, 2022 the Company had $575,665.60 cash on hand.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, primarily requiring payment before services are rendered.   Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice.  The Company routinely assesses its outstanding accounts. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.  The Company generally collects all service fees as a brokerage at the time the service is provided.

 

Sales Taxes

Various states impose a sales tax on the Company’s sales to non-exempt customers.  The Company collects the sales tax from customers and remits the entire amount to each respective state.  The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the states from revenue and cost of sales. 

 

Long-Lived Assets

Assets are recorded at cost if the expenditure exceeds $1,000.  Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

 
F-5

Table of Contents

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to fifteen years depending on the asset type.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition.  In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets.  The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company maintained fixed assets with a net book value of $7,337,246.52. 

 

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has determined the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

A fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.

 

 

·

Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset or liability.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset or liability.

 

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed as a partnership for US federal tax purposes.  Items of income, loss, credit, and gain are passed through to the members of the Company.  The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

 

The Company has incurred taxable losses since inception but is current in its tax filing obligations. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2019 (the “transition date”) using the full retrospective method. There was no transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASC 606.  Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue has not yet been earned by the Company. 

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees," to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2017-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.  The Company will adopt this standard after required to and when applicable to the Company.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company, or (iv) are not expected to have a material impact the Company’s financial statements.
