CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

In this Annual Report on Form 1-K (the “Form 1-K”), the terms “Rhove Real Estate”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC. The information contained in this Form 1-K includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered “forward-looking statements.” Such 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 our company, each series offering of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express the expectations, hopes, beliefs, and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts for 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 Form 1-K are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. The Company, the Managing Member of the Company, the asset manager for any Series, or the cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting any Series will be as currently anticipated. Furthermore, the Company cannot guarantee its future performance or its parent company or affiliates will not have an impact on any Series. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which, including the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus, 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.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are detailed under the headings “Risk Factors” in the most recent amendment to the offering statement on Form 1-A filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as may be amended, and in our subsequent reports and offering statements filed from time to time with the Commission. 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.

 

The market data and certain other statistical information used throughout this Form 1-K are based on independent industry publications, governmental publications, reports by market research firms, or other independent sources that we believe to be reliable sources. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys, and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. We are responsible for all of the disclosure contained in this Form 1-K, and we believe that these sources are reliable. We have not independently verified the information contained in such publications. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any third-party information presented in this Form 1-K, their estimates, in particular, as they relate to projections, involve numerous assumptions, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors.

PART II

 

Item 1. Business

 

Overview

 

Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Rhove Real Estate 1” or the “Company”) is a Delaware series limited liability company that has been formed to enable public investment into the places that they live, work, and play, and to lower the barriers to entry of commercial real estate more generally. The Company will designate each series (“Series”) to invest in an individual real estate property or project (a “Property”) by acquiring an ownership interest in the business entity that holds title to such property (such ownership interest, an “Asset”). The rights associated with such Assets will range from a controlling interest, to a right to vote on certain major decisions, to a purely passive ownership stake in the underlying property or project (each, a “Property”). In the event that the rights associated with an Asset constitute anything other than a controlling interest, then we will rely substantially on the management decisions of our joint venture partner (“Property Partner”).

 

The managing member of the Company is Roost Enterprises Inc. d/b/a Rhove (“Managing Member”, “Manager” or “Roost”), a Delaware corporation, which is a technology business that enables investors to invest in individual commercial and multifamily real estate assets. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roost.

 

Subsequent to the reporting period, Roost was acquired by reAlpha Tech Corp. (“reAlpha”) in March 2023. The Managing Member is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of reAlpha Tech Corp. In connection with that transaction, Rhove changed its headquarters to 6515 Longshore Loop, Dublin, OH 43017.

 

Series Offerings

 

The Company offerings are interests (“Shares”) in each of the Series of the Company, which represent fractional shares of ownership in such Series of the Company. The Shares represent an investment solely in a particular Series and, thus, indirectly in a property through the Series ownership of an Asset. The Shares do not represent an investment in the Company or the Managing Member. The Company currently anticipates that the operations of the Company, including the designation of additional Series and the corresponding acquisition of additional Assets, will benefit investors by allowing investors to participate in the ownership of the places that they live, work, and play, as well as lowering barriers to entry in commercial real estate investment more generally.

 

The Managing Member

 

The Company is managed by Roost. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement dated July 13, 2021 (the “LLC Agreement”), the Managing Member has full power and authority to do all things and on such terms as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company and each Series in pursuit of the Company’s purpose without a vote of approval by the investors. With respect to each Series, the Managing Member may appoint an asset manager (“Asset Manager”) to oversee the day-to-day management of such Asset.

 

Employees

 

Currently, the Company does not have any full-time employees.

 

Bankruptcy, Receivership or Similar Proceedings.

 

None of the Company, any Series, the Managing Member, nor any director or executive officer of the Managing Member is presently subject to any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

None of the Company, any Series, the Managing Member, nor any director or executive officer of the Managing Member is presently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation, Purchase/Sale of Assets

 

The Company’s Managing Member, Rhove (“Managing Member”), was purchased by reAlpha Tech Corp., a Delaware corporation (“reAlpha Tech Corp.”) on March 24, 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Since its formation in March 2021, the Company has been engaged in identifying and acquiring the option to purchase equity in Properties for its series, and developing the financial, offering and other materials to begin fundraising. We are considered to be an early-stage company. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including but not limited to credit risk and changes to regulations governing the Company’s industry. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Additionally, on March 24, 2023, the Managing Member was sold to reAlpha Tech Corp. to enhance capitalization and operational capabilities.

 

Operating Results

 

Revenues

 

Revenues are generated at the Series level. As of the date of this 1-K, no Series has retained any revenues. Subscribers to each series have been refunded their principal investment including any fees associated with subscription as of June 2023. No other Series has commenced operations as of the date of this Form 1-K. For additional information on our prior offerings, we refer you to the Form 1-A POS filed on August 26, 2022 and which was qualified on September 2, 2022, and our subsequent offering circulates dated September 26, 2022, October 12, 2022, October 24, 2022

 

Operating Expenses

 

The Company has incurred $401,029 in Operating Expenses for the period since inception through December 31, 2022. Each Series will be responsible for its own Operating Expenses, such as taxes, insurance, accounting, audit, filing and other fees beginning on the closing date of the Offering of such Series. In addition, the Series will reimburse the Managing Member for Offering Fees and Expenses incurred, not to exceed 3% of the offering.

Net Loss

 

As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, we generated a net loss of $168,312 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $147,119 for the period ended December 31, 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2022, Empire Series had $5,584 cash and cash equivalents.

 

As of December 31, 2022, The Washington (Sandusky) Series had $1,951 cash and cash equivalents.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company, Honokea and City Park Quad Series of Shares had no cash or cash equivalents. 

 

Material Deficiency in Liquidity and Subsequent Event

 

During the reporting period, the Issuer experienced a material deficiency in liquidity, which necessitates disclosure as required. In November 2022, the Managing Member, who provides capitalization for the Issuer's operations, faced a significant liquidity challenge. This deficiency was primarily a result of a difficulty to raise capital due to the rapid historic deterioration of the venture capital markets in the second half of 2022, stemming from rising interest rates and the broader capital market's uncertainty.

 

To address this liquidity deficiency, the Managing Member initiated discussions with potential buyers regarding the acquisition of both the Managing Member and its subsidiary, the Issuer, during the fourth quarter of 2022. These talks aimed to identify a strategic partner that could provide the necessary financial resources to remedy the liquidity deficiency and support the continued operations of the Issuer.

 

A material subsequent event to the reporting period unfolded in March 2023. The Managing Member and its subsidiaries, including the Issuer, were successfully acquired by reAlpha Tech Corp. This acquisition effectively addressed the material deficiency in liquidity that the Managing Member had encountered. As a result of the acquisition, the Issuer gained access to the financial backing and resources provided by reAlpha Tech Corp., assisting continuity of operations. 

 

As of the date of this filing, neither our Company nor any Series had any financial obligations beyond the due to affiliate balances disclosed in the Financial Statements. The decision to refund investors was a voluntary decision, not based upon terms of the transactions in effect from an accounting perspective.

 

Trend Information

 

The following section provides an overview of the significant trends observed in production, sales, and inventory, as well as the state of the order book, costs, and selling prices. Additionally, it discusses known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments, or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Issuer's net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity, or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

 

While the Company is not actively involved in any Series Offering and there are no additional significant order book matters to disclose, it is important to note that the Company may launch crowdfunding initiatives specifically for short term rental properties (“STRs”) in the second half of 2023. These initiatives aim to expand the Issuer's real estate portfolio and capture new investment opportunities within the growing STR market. Recent market turmoil and a raising interest rate environment may have an adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to execute these initiatives, and could negatively impact future performance and operations of the Issuer and Managing Member.

 

In 2021, the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initiated a series of interest rate increases. These rising interest rates have the potential to impact sales, production, inventory, and performance in the real estate market. This may, in turn, have adverse effects on the performance of future offerings and the Issuer's ability to raise capital, acquire, and operate real estate projects. The precise impact of rising interest rates on the real estate market is uncertain and could vary depending on various factors, including market dynamics, investor sentiment, and the overall economic environment. The tightening of monetary policy by the Fed can have ripple effects on consumer spending, business investment, and economic growth, which can in turn impact the real estate market and the Issuer's operations.

Many markets are now experiencing slower growth, a reduction of real estate prices, and lower rents. Moreover, shifts in employment levels, wage growth, and consumer confidence resulting from changes in economic conditions can further contribute to uncertainties and potential fluctuations in the real estate market. These interrelated factors emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring, adaptability, and prudent risk management to navigate potential challenges and seize opportunities as they arise.

 

Looking ahead, the Issuer acknowledges the potential impact of various trends, uncertainties, and events that could affect net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity, or capital resources.

 

Specifically, the Issuer foresees the following factors as potentially material to its future operating results and financial condition:

 

Changes in travel patterns, regulations, and market competition could influence the performance of STR properties and impact the Issuer’s revenue generation.

 

Fluctuations in economic conditions, interest rates, and the overall real estate market could influence the Issuer’s ability to acquire new properties, maintain occupancy rates, and achieve rental rate growth.

 

Economic uncertainties, including the potential impact of global events and market disruptions, may also contribute to changes in the Issuer’s financial performance.

 

The Issuer acknowledges the importance of compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing real estate crowdfunding and STR operations. Changes in regulatory requirements, tax policies, or legal interpretations could result in additional compliance burdens or operational constraints that may impact the Issuer’s business operations and financial results.

As previously disclosed, the Company was not able to file its Form 1-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022,by the deadline due to circumstances related to the sale of Roost Enterprises, Inc., the Company’s sole member (“Rhove”), on March 24, 2023, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with reAlpha Tech Corp., Rhove and certain investor sellers of Rhove (the “Rhove Transaction”). Specifically, the Company was unable to file the Form 1-K by the original filing deadline because the audit of the Company’s financial reports have not yet been completed as the Company’s audit did not begin until after the consummation of the Rhove Transaction.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC (the “Company”) on a consolidated basis, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity/(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each listed Series of the Company, which comprise each listed Series’ balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity/(deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from March 30, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021 for each listed Series, and the related notes to each listed Series’ financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and each Series’ financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the financial position of each listed Series as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the results of the Company’s consolidated operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, and the results of each listed Series’ operations and cash flows for the periods ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Each Series’ Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and each listed Series and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s and Each Listed Series’ Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company and each listed Series will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company and each listed Series are a business that has not commenced planned principal operations and has not generated revenues or profits since inception. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit and working capital deficit of $307,735, and limited liquid assets to satisfy its obligations. The Company and each series are reliant upon the Managing Member for continued payment of its obligations, and as discussed in Note 1 the Managing Member was insolvent as of December 31, 2022. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability and each listed Series’ ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements and Each Series’ Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability and each listed Series’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Each Series’ Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the periods then ended and each listed Series’ financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the periods then ended are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control or each listed Series’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and each listed Series’ financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability and each listed Series’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

RHOVE REAL ESTATE 1, LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, for the year ended December 31, 2022, and
for the Period from March 30, 2021 (Inception) to December 31, 2021

 

1.ORGANIZATION

 

Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC (the “Company”) is a series limited liability company organized on March 30, 2021 under the laws of Delaware pursuant to Section 18-215 of the Delaware Act that has been formed to (a) promote, conduct, or engage in, directly or indirectly, any business, purpose, or activity that lawfully may be conducted by a series limited liability company organized pursuant to the Delaware Act, (b) acquire and manage interests in commercial, residential, and mixed-use real estate developments (each a “Project”). Each such Project to be identified in the applicable “Series Designation” (one or more series as used under section 18-215 of the Delaware Act, each, a “Series”) and, to exercise all of the rights and powers conferred upon the Company and each Series with respect to its interest therein, and (c) conduct any and all activities related or incidental to the foregoing purposes. Each Series of the Company will acquire and manage an ownership interest in a Project (each such ownership interest, an “Asset”) separate and apart from the assets and liabilities of each other Series. Each Series will operate, to the extent practicable, as if it were a separate limited liability company.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had received SEC qualification on the following series: the Empire Series, City Park Quad (Columbus) Series, Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series, Washington (Sandusky) Series; however, due to the managing member’s inability to raise funds, the decision was made to halt fund raising efforts and refund investors of the Empire Series, City Park Quad (Columbus) Series, Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series and the Washington (Sandusky) Series until funds could be raised to continue operations. Investors were notified on November 23, 2022 that the managing member was going out of business and 100% of investor deposits would be refunded.

 

The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities and preparations to raise capital. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Company’s planned operations or failing to operate the business profitably.

2.MEMBERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company is managed by its sole member, Roost Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Managing Member”) and each Series is managed by the Managing Member or its designee, as set forth in the Series Designation. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement dated July 13, 2021 (the “LLC Agreement”), the Managing Member has all powers and authority of the Company and each Series and their subsidiaries shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Managing Member. The Managing Member will provide certain management services to the Company and to each of its Series.

 

The Managing Member is the sole member of the Company and each Series will have multiple investor members (“Investors”) who are entitled to their pro rata share of distributions of free cash flow from the underlying Project in respect to their interest. All interests shall constitute personal property of the owner thereof for all purposes and the member has no interest in specific assets of the Company or applicable assets of a particular Series.

 

The Managing Member will be responsible for directing the management of the Company’s business and affairs, managing its day-to-day affairs, and implementing its business plan. The Managing Member and its officers will not be required to devote all their time to the Company’s business and are only required to devote such time to the Company’s affairs as their duties require. The Managing Member has a unilateral ability to amend the LLC Agreement and the allocation policy in certain circumstances without the consent of the Investors.

 

Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Managing Member or its designee is entitled to receive compensation in exchange for the performance of asset management services, calculated for each Series, as set forth in the applicable Series Designation.

 

The Company does not record subscription receivables on Series Interest commitments until they are closed as closing is the point in time that the subscription agreements become fully executed and formally subscribed. Amounts held by the Company’s escrow agent are not recorded to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 as these amounts are held by the escrow agent and instructed for refund to the investors at such time.

Payments for operating expenses, including payments as consideration for fee services performed by the Managing Member, will first be made to the Managing Member or its designee for its management fees before any distributions to Investors.

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

These consolidated financial statements present the Company’s consolidated balances and results, as well as separate financial statements for each of its Series.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history and has not yet generated revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including but not limited to credit risk and changes to regulations governing the Company’s industry. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations. The current COVID-19 pandemic has introduced a host of additional risks to the Company’s intended operations and could have material detrimental impact on the Company’s planned business operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g. quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value.

 

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company has $7,535 and $0 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

 

F-12

 

 

Subscription Receivable

 

The Company records share issuances at the effective date. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a subscription receivable as an asset on the consolidated balance sheet. When subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under FASB ASC 505-10-45-2, the subscription is reclassified as a contra account to members’ equity/(deficit) on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to members’ equity/(deficit) upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

 

During 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an attorney to forgive $85,597 of legal costs accrued. Of such costs, $60,833 were included in deferred offering costs and therefore were charged to legal expenses in the consolidated statement of operations upon the forgiveness. As of December 31, 2022, $59,431 of offering costs remained capitalized to deferred offering costs as the Company intended to find a buyer of its managing member to utilize its existing Regulation A offering filings to which these costs related for future offerings. Since all existing offerings were refunded or were to be refunded as of December 31, 2022, no offering costs were charged to any Series’ offering in 2022.

 

Subject to any cap set forth in an applicable Series Designation, the following fees, costs, and expenses in connection with any initial offering and the sourcing and acquisition of a Series Asset shall be borne by the relevant Series: (a) Costs to acquire the Series Asset, (b) Brokerage fee, (c) Offering expenses, (d) Acquisition costs, (e) Operating expenses, (f) Asset management fee and (g) Sourcing fee.

 

Any brokerage fee, offering expenses, acquisition expenses, sourcing fee, asset management fee and operating expenses shall be allocated by the Managing Member in accordance with the allocation policy.

 

Each Series will pay or reimburse the Managing Member for all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with evaluation, discovery, investigation and executing the offering, not to exceed 3% of the offering.

 

Organizational Costs

 

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 720, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.

 

F-13

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a limited liability company and intends to be taxed as a disregarded entity. Accordingly, under the Internal Revenue Code, all taxable income or loss flows through to its members. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statement, 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 or 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 consolidated 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 may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.

 

Upon an initial closing of a Series, purchasing investors will be admitted as Members of such Series and such Series will elect for treatment as a partnership for income tax purposes. The Company may make an election for each Series to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although no such election has been made.

Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series

 

The Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series of the Company (“Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series”) has been established to enable investors to participate in the ownership of a Hawaiian surf-themed, mixed-use resort attraction anchored by a man-made 6-acre surfing cove located in Kapolei, Honolulu County, Hawaii (the “Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series Property”). The Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series Property will be developed, owned, and operated by Honokea Kalaeloa, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series Joint Venture” or “Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series JV”). The Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series JV is managed by HK Management, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (the “Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series JV Manager” or “Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series Property Partner”), which has broad authority to make decisions on most Honokea Wave Park (Kapolei) Series JV actions.

4.GOING CONCERN

 

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. The Company and each Series are a business that has not commenced planned principal operations and has not generated revenues or profits since inception. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit and working capital deficit of $307,735, and limited liquid assets to satisfy its obligations. The Company and each Series are reliant upon the Managing Member for continued payment of its obligations, and as discussed in Note 1 the Managing Member was insolvent as of December 31, 2022. In November 2022, the Managing Member, who provides capitalization for the Company and each Series, faced a significant liquidity challenge. This challenge resulted from difficulty raising capital due to the deterioration of the venture capital markets in the second half of 2022, stemming from rising interest rates and the broader capital market’s uncertainty. To address this liquidity deficiency, the Managing Member initiated discussions with potential buyers regarding potential acquisition of the Managing Member and its subsidiaries. During March 2023, the Managing Member and its subsidiaries were acquired by reAlpha Tech Corp. The Company’s and each Series’ ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon the Company’s and each Series’ ability to raise sufficient capital from outside investors and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. No assurance can be given that the Company or any Series will be successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company and/or each Series to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company or any Series be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

5.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Managing Member or its designee is entitled to payment as consideration for the performance of asset management services, calculated for each Series, as set forth in the applicable Series Designation.

 

The Managing Member or its affiliate is entitled to payment as consideration for the performance of sourcing a Series Asset, as specified in each Series Designation.

 

Subject to any cap set forth in the applicable Series Designation, each Series shall be responsible for payment (or reimbursement to the Managing Member) of its own acquisition costs, brokerage fees, operating expenses, asset management fee, sourcing fee, offering costs, dissolution costs, and costs to acquire assets.

 

No payment has been made to the Managing Member for the periods ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

 

Due to Affiliate

 

Due to affiliate represents expenses paid for on behalf of the Company by a related party, Roost Enterprises Inc., the Company’s Managing Member. The outstanding payables for each entity as of December 31, 2022 are as follows: $20,714 for City Park Quad Series, $31,718 for Empire Series, $24,078 for Honokea Series, $16,124 for The Washington Series and $282,067 for Rhove Real Estate 1, LLC. Debt forgiveness of $85,597 from outstanding legal expense obligations were reduced from the amount due to affiliate during 2022. These payables do not bear interest and are considered due on demand.

6.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize the right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this new standard on the Company’s financial reporting and disclosures during 2022 and the adoption of such did not have an impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), simplifying Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

7.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome, if any, arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

The Company’s Managing Member entered into a legal agreement with Almerico Law on April 4, 2021. This agreement includes deferred legal fees to be paid as follows: $40,000 in fees will be paid after $1,000,000 is raised in any Regulation A offering and an additional $60,000 will be paid after the Company has raised $2,000,000 in any Regulation A offering.

 

8.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
