2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

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

 

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights. We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Fair value measurement

 

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value we apply the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Related parties

 

Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trusts for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

We maintain our cash balances at commercial banks and through investment companies, the deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not maintain balances in excess of the insured amount.

 

Income taxes

 

We are a “C” corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we are included in the May Realty Holdings, Inc. (the “MRHI”). consolidated group for tax purposes. We have a tax sharing agreement that specifies the manner in which the group will share the consolidated tax liability and also how certain tax attributes are to be treated among members of the group.

 

Comprehensive income

 

Net income and comprehensive income (loss) are the same for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

 

Use of estimates

 

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, it is necessary for management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense for the year ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
