Use of Terms

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

The information contained in this report includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of the Company, its Manager, Commonwealth Markets Inc., each Series of the Company and the Commonwealth Platform (defined below); and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express the Manager’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. Neither the Company nor the Manager can guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting the Company, the Manager or the Commonwealth Platform will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things:

 

  Our ability to purchase interests in competitive Thoroughbreds depends on our ability to maintain relationships with leading racing operations, trainers, bloodstock agents, consultants, and Thoroughbred owners.
     
  The current challenging operating environment for racetracks could cause the number of racetracks, racing days, and races to decrease, which would likely reduce the total purses available to Thoroughbred owners.
     
  Injury, infertility, or death of a Series’ Thoroughbred, which cannot always be fully covered by insurance, could diminish revenue and net asset values.
     
  We rely on third parties to provide training, boarding, maintenance, and veterinary care of the Thoroughbreds in which our Series hold interests.
     
  The market for Thoroughbreds depends on the state of the economy and other factors that are difficult to accurately predict, such as the amount of money available for investment purposes, the level of interest of foreign and domestic investors and enthusiasts in horse racing, the availability of purses and racing opportunities, the attractiveness of other investments, and currency exchange rates.
     
  Our failure to accurately evaluate a Thoroughbred’s ability to compete successfully due to intangible behavioral factors that affect performance.
     
  Increased government regulation of the Thoroughbred racing industry.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the risks and uncertainties listed above, as well as those described in greater detail in the Offering Circular included in our Form 1-A Offering Statement under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the parties’ assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Item 1. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Commonwealth Thoroughbreds LLC is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on June 12, 2019. The Company’s manager is Commonwealth Markets Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Company aims to provide horse racing enthusiasts with the opportunity for greater involvement in the sport by enabling them to acquire a diversified portfolio of equity interests in Thoroughbreds and equine assets through the Commonwealth Platform, our website and related proprietary application. As of the date of this Semiannual Report, the Company has completed offerings in eleven Series which have admitted investors and acquired equine assets. Two offerings were terminated without admitting investors. The Company currently expects to conduct additional offerings in 2023.

 

Our principal objective is to acquire interests in Thoroughbreds with the pedigree, conformation, and athletic potential to compete successfully, thereby creating opportunities to generate revenue, provide long and short-term capital appreciation, and ultimately distribute Free Cash Flow to equity investors in the Series that hold the underlying equine assets. “Free Cash Flow” is defined as the net income (as determined under U.S. GAAP) generated by the Series plus any change in net working capital and depreciation and amortization (and any other non-cash Operating Expenses) and less any capital expenditures related to the Series’ Thoroughbred asset.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in this Semiannual Report. See “Index to Financial Statements.”

Operating Expenses

 

The Company incurs legal, accounting and compliance expenses to set up the legal and financial framework and compliance infrastructure for the marketing and sale of the offerings by its Series. During the six-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 these organizational expenses totaled $16,812 and $98,061, respectively. These organizational expenses were recorded as operating expenses by the Company and as a corresponding capital contribution by the Manager. The Manager is entitled to receive an organizational fee equal to 3.0% of the proceeds received from the initial offering of each Series of Units as reimbursement for organizational expenses.

 

The Company also incurs racehorse management, general and administrative, and depreciation expenses. In general, racehorse management expenses represent the pro rata portion of the Series Thoroughbred’s training, boarding, healthcare, travel and insurance expenses that each Series pays to our racing stable co-manager, based on the Series’ ownership interest. During the six-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 racehorse management expenses totaled $64,046 and $50,693, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $219 and $3,690 respectively. Depreciation expenses for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $65,095 and $31,923 respectively.

 

As a result of operations, the Company generated net loss of $123,856 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 after incurring a net loss of $183,004 during the corresponding period of 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

See Consolidated Balance Sheets in the Consolidated Financial Statements section for details of each Series’ financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $687,231 in cash, and current financial liabilities of $73,129 of accounts payable, $57,375 of accrued fees-related party, $6,148 of accrued interest, accrued income taxes of $324,000, accrued distributions of $32,648, and $423,652 of notes payable. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $1,577,384 in cash, and current financial liabilities of $55,174 of accounts payable, $119,512 of accrued fees-related party, $324,000 of accrued income taxes, $9,772 of accrued distributions, a $3,833 note payable and $2,184 of associated accrued interest.

 

From inception, the Company has financed its own business activities and its Series business activities through capital contributions from the Manager or its affiliates. The Company and each Series expect to continue to have access to ample capital financing from the Manager going forward. Until such time as a Series has the capacity to generate cash flows from operations, the Manager may cover any deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Units in any individual Series.

 

Each Series will repay any loans used to acquire its underlying asset, plus accrued interest, with proceeds generated from the closing of the offering of the Series. No Series will have any obligation to repay a loan incurred by the Company to purchase an underlying asset for another Series. To the extent a Series repays less then all of a loan and acquires a smaller interest in a Thoroughbred, the Company will transfer the residual interest in the Thoroughbred in repayment of the loan.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The Company plans to launch additional offerings, the proceeds from which will be used to acquire additional Thoroughbred assets. In doing so, the Company intends to continue its relationships with WinStar Farm LLC, Gandharvi, LLC, Marquee Bloodstock LLC and other racing operations. The Company also intends to continue engaging in racing, sales, and breeding activities, the commencement of which will depend on the stage of development and training of Thoroughbreds when they are acquired. We intend these activities will generate revenues for each Series to cover, in whole or in part, the ongoing post-closing operating expenses of the Series. However, a Thoroughbred racing and breeding business is subject to numerous risks, and there can be no assurance that the Thoroughbred assets of any series will produce sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenses, much less fund distributions to its Unit holders. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

A substantial portion of the proceeds from each Offering will be used to establish reserves to cover boarding, training, medical and other operating expenses until such time as the Series would be able to generate racing revenue sufficient to cover these ongoing operations.

 

Trend Information

 

The Company’s main focus over the next twelve months is to continue to launch additional offerings. For a description of the Thoroughbred industry, including trends that could affect the financial condition and operations of each series of the Company, see the “Thoroughbred Industry” section of our Report on Form 1-K for the six-month transition period ended June 30, 2022, starting on page 16.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Description of Organization and Business Operations

 

Commonwealth Thoroughbreds LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on June 12, 2019 and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The Company’s fiscal year has been changed from December 31 to June 30. Commonwealth Markets Inc. is the sole owner of units of membership interest of the Company. The Company was formed to engage in the business of acquiring and managing Thoroughbred racehorses and related equine breeding and sales activities. The Company has created and expects to continue to create several separate Series of membership interests (the “Series” or “Series”), different Thoroughbred assets will be owned by separate Series, and the assets and liabilities of each Series will be separate in accordance with Delaware law. Investors will acquire units of membership interest (“Units”) of a Series and will be entitled to share in the return of that particular Series but will not be entitled to share in the return of any other Series. Commonwealth Markets Inc. (the “Manager”), a Delaware corporation formed on January 10, 2019, is a technology and marketing company that operates the Commonwealth Platform and App (“the Platform”). The Manager manages the Company, the assets owned by the Company and the assets of each Series.

 

The Company intends to sell Units in several separate and individual Series of the Company. Investors in any Series acquire a proportional share of the assets, income and liabilities pertaining to a particular Series. The Manager has the authority to conduct the ongoing operations of each Series in accordance with the Company’s limited liability company agreement, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”). Unit holders have only the limited voting and management rights provided in the Operating Agreement or required by law.

 

Going Concern and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying 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.

 

From inception, the Company has financed business activities through capital contributions from the Manager or its affiliates. The Company and each Series expect to continue to have access to ample capital financing from the Manager going forward. Until such time as the Series have the capacity to generate cash flows from operations, the Manager may cover any deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Units in any individual Series. In addition, parts of the proceeds of future offerings may be used to create reserves for future operating expenses for individual Series at the sole discretion of the Manager.

 

The Company’s and Series’ ability to continue depends upon management’s plan to raise additional funds, capital contributions from the Manager and the ability to achieve profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is not able to continue as a going concern.

 

Offerings

 

The Company’s offerings are described in the Offering Circular included in the Offering Statement on Form 1-A POS filed with the SEC on April 11, 2023. Proceeds from the offerings will be used to repay the respective loans or options used to acquire the Thoroughbred assets (See Notes 2 and 3) and pay for other offering related fees and expenses. These will include a fee of $10,000 plus 1% of the amount raised in the offering (excluding any Units purchased by the Manager or its affiliates) payable to the clearing broker upon completion of the offering.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

 

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 periods presented have been included.

 

Any offerings that close of the date of the financial statements are issued under Tier 2 of Regulation A and qualified under an offering statement. As such, upon the closing of the Series, separate financial statements are presented for each such Series, and each is consolidated in the financial statements of the Company after eliminating inter-company balances and transactions, If any. In the consolidated financials, the Commonwealth column includes all transactions non-series related including legal, travel, organization and Commonwealth Thoroughbreds share of racehorse expenses like percentage of offerings not closed and horses that have not been series offered.

 

In the attached consolidated financials, the Company has changed its presentation from previously filed financial statements. Each Series’ net financial position, operating results, and cash flows are now presented separately. The consolidated results have changed from the results previously filed on April 27, 2023 for the December 31, 2022 financial position as presented below.

 

   As Previously Reported   Adjustments   As Restated 
Total Assets  $1,195,871   $(8,659)  $1,187,212 
Total Liabilities   914,532    2,419    916,951 
Member’s Equity   281,339    11,078    270,261 
Operating Cash Flows   (56,045)   (18,491)   (74,536)
Financing Cash Flows   (843,909)   18,491    (825,418)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near-term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from Company 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, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Cash

 

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.

Offering Expenses

 

Offering Expenses relate to the offering for a specific Series and consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, escrow, compliance, filing and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to a proposed offering and will generally be charged to member’s equity upon the completion of the proposed offering. Offering expenses that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering for that Series are being funded by the Manager and will generally be reimbursed through the proceeds of the offering related to the Series. The Manager has agreed to limit the reimbursement of offering expenses by each Series to no more than 10% of the offering proceeds. Should the proposed offering prove to be unsuccessful, these costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to the Manager.

 

In addition to the discrete offering expenses related to a particular Series, the Manager has also incurred legal, accounting and compliance expenses to set up the legal and financial framework and compliance infrastructure for the marketing and sale of all subsequent offerings. The Manager will receive an Organizational Fee equal to 3.0% of the proceeds received from the offering of each Series of units as reimbursement for these expenses.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses related to a particular horse include stabling, training, insurance, transportation (other than the initial transportation from the horse’s location to the Manager’s boarding facility prior to the offering, which is treated as an “Acquisition Expense”, as defined below), maintenance, annual audit and legal expenses and other equine-specific expenses as detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy. The Company distinguishes between pre-closing and post-closing operating expenses. Operating Expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Except as disclosed with respect to any future Series offering, expenses of this nature that are incurred prior to the closing of an offering of Series are funded by the Manager and are not reimbursed by the Company, Series or economic members. These are accounted for as capital contributions by the Manager for expenses related to the business of the Company or a Series.

 

Upon closing of an offering, a Series becomes responsible for these expenses and finances them either through revenues generated by a Series or available cash reserves at the Series. Should revenues or cash reserves not be sufficient to cover operating expenses the Manager may (a) pay such operating expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the operating expenses to the Series at a reasonable rate of interest and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), and/or (c) cause additional units to be issued in order to cover such additional amounts.

 

Thoroughbred Assets

 

Thoroughbred assets are recorded at cost. The cost of the Thoroughbred includes the purchase price, including any deposits paid by the Manager, the Sourcing Fee, Brokerage Fee and “Acquisition Expenses”, including transportation of the asset to the Manager’s stables, pre-purchase medical examinations, pre-offering expenses, and other costs detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy.

 

The Brokerage Fee and Sourcing Fee are paid from the proceeds of any successfully closed offering. Should an offering be unsuccessful, these expenses do not occur. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company conducted two offering: Tshiebwe and Mage and one closing: Tshiebwe.

 

Acquisition expenses related to a particular Series are initially funded by the Manager but may be reimbursed with the proceeds from an offering related to the Series, to the extent described in the applicable offering document. Acquisition expenses are capitalized into the cost of the horse as per the table below. Should a proposed offering prove to be unsuccessful, the Company will not reimburse the Manager and these expenses will be accounted as capital contributions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on useful lives of the asset. Thoroughbred assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over 36 months with no estimated salvage value. A horse is treated as placed in service upon its acquisition by the Company. The Company reviews the carrying value of Thoroughbred assets 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 use of the property, and the effects of health, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

 

Income Taxes

 

The separate Series have elected and qualify to be taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The separate Series will comply with the accounting and disclosure requirement of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Series A-1, the master Series of the Company is taxed as a “partnership” or a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes and will not make any election or take any action that could cause it to be separately treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The Company has recorded a tax provision estimate for the Series Country Grammer and We The People based on taxable income incurred in the 2022 fiscal year. No tax provision has been recorded for any other Series for the six-month period ended December 31, 2022 as each is in a taxable loss position or taxable earnings deemed nominal and no future tax benefits can be reasonably anticipated.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles from reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the Company’s contracts to provide goods to customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects for those goods. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligation under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with the customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally recognizes revenues upon earning income from its horses at a point in time. Horse racing revenues are generally recorded on a net basis based on the lack of a controlling interest in the horse. The Company and Series are entitled to their share of the net earnings from a race.

 

Earnings per Membership Unit

 

Upon completion of an offering, each Series intends to comply with accounting and disclosure requirement of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” For each Series, earnings per membership unit will be computed by dividing net income for that particular Series by the weighted average number of outstanding units in that particular Series during the period. For a period of net loss, basic and diluted earnings per unit are the same as the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt are anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 3RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

At December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company accrued fees to the Manager of $57,375 and $119,512, that primarily reflected management fees earned from race winnings.
