OFFERING CIRCULAR

 Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC.

Ten Series of Limited Recourse Obligations

Totaling $1,583,030

Dated: May 26, 2020

This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 6 (this “PQA”), made on the Form 1-A disclosure format, amends the offering circular of Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC, dated November 15, 2019, as qualified on November 27, 2019, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Offering Circular”), to add additional securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering Circular. This PQA relates to the offer and sale of up to an additional $1,583,030 in aggregate amount of Limited Recourse Obligations (the “LROs”) to be issued by Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Unless otherwise defined below, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Offering Circular. See “Incorporation by Reference of Offering Circular” below.

We make LROs available for investment on our web-based investment platform www.groundfloor.com (the “Groundfloor Platform”). Our principal offices and mailing address are located at 600 Peachtree Street, Suite 810, Atlanta, GA 30308. The phone number for these offices is (404) 850-9225.

We will issue the LROs in distinct series, each corresponding to a real estate development project (each, a “Project”) financed by a commercial loan from us (each, a “Loan”). The borrower for each Project is a legal entity (the “Borrower”) that owns the underlying property and has been organized by one or more individuals (each, a “Principal”) that own and operate the Borrower. This PQA relates to the offer and sale of each separate series of LROs corresponding to the Projects for which we extend Loans, as described below (the “Offering”).

The LROs will be unsecured special, limited obligations of the Company. The LROs are not listed on any national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system. There is no market for the LROs. Our obligation to make payments on a LRO is limited to an amount equal to each holder’s pro rata share of amount of payments, if any, actually received on the corresponding Loan, net of certain fees and expenses retained by us. See the sections titled “General Terms of the LROs,” “The LROs Covered by this Offering Circular,” and “Project Summaries” of the Offering Circular, as amended hereby, for the specific terms of the LROs covered by this PQA.

We do not guarantee payment of the LROs in the amount or on the time frame expected. The LROs are not obligations of the Borrowers or their Principals, and we do not guarantee payment on the corresponding Loans. We have the authority to modify the terms of the corresponding Loans which could, in certain circumstances, reduce (or eliminate) the expected return on your investment. See the “General Terms of the LROs—Administration, Service, Collection, and Enforcement of Loan Documents” section on page 106 of the Offering Circular.

The LROs are speculative securities. Investment in the LROs involves significant risk, and you may be required to hold your investment for an indefinite period of time. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 12 of the Offering Circular.

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering to the extent that the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(c) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

We will commence the offering of each series of LROs promptly after the date this PQA is qualified by posting on the Groundfloor Platform a separate landing page corresponding to each particular Loan and Project (each, a “Project Summary”). The offering of each series of LROs covered by this PQA will remain open until the earlier of (1) 30 days, unless extended, or (2) the date the offering of a particular series of LROs is fully subscribed with irrevocable funding commitments (the “Offering Period”); however, we may extend the Offering Period for a particular series of LROs in our sole discretion (with notice to potential investors) up to a maximum of 45 days. We will notify investors who have previously committed funds to purchase such series of LROs of any such extension by email and will post a notice of the extension on the corresponding Project Summary on the Groundfloor Platform.

This Offering is being conducted on a “best-efforts” basis, which means that our officers will use their commercially reasonable best efforts in an attempt to sell the LROs. Such officers will not receive any commission or any other remuneration for these sales. In offering the LROs on our behalf, the officers will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREUNDER ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

⁽¹⁾ We estimate all expenses for this Offering to be approximately $1,000, which will not be financed with the proceeds of the Offering.

⁽²⁾ Assumes no promotions or discounts applied to any offerings covered by this PQA.

Results of Operations

Summary Financial Information

The consolidated statements of operations data set forth below with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are derived from, and are qualified by reference to, the consolidated financial statements included in this Offering Circular and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and notes thereto.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 include a going concern note from our auditors. Since Groundfloor’s inception, Groundfloor has financed its operations through debt and equity financings. Groundfloor intends to continue financing its activities and working capital needs largely from private financing from individual investors and venture capital firms until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7.0 thousand and $5.2 thousand, respectively. The Company serviced 2 and 7 developer loans during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Loan servicing revenue are fees incurred in servicing the developer’s loan.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand, respectively. The increase in gross profit was due to an increase of $1.8 thousand in net revenue, coupled with an decrease in cost of revenue of $3.0 thousand. Cost of revenue consists primarily of vendor costs associated with facilitating and servicing loans.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $7.0 thousand and $2.0 thousand, respectively, a decrease of $3.2 thousand or 61.8%. General and administrative expenses consists primarily of management fees charged by Parent in reimbursement of servicing costs paid by Parent.

Net Income

Net income for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0 and $0, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The consolidated financial statements included in this Offering Circular have been prepared assuming that Parent will continue as a going concern; however, the conditions discussed below raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should Parent be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has retained earnings as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, of $0. Since our inception, the Company has financed its operations through debt and equity financing from various sources. The Company is dependent upon raising additional capital or seeking additional equity financing to fund its current operating plans for the foreseeable future. Failure to obtain sufficient equity financing and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations could adversely affect our ability to achieve its business objectives and continue as a going concern. Further, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which the required financing and capital might be available.

Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7.0 thousand and $0, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities includes loan servicing costs.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $23.6 thousand and $2.8 million, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities primarily represents repayment of loans to developers and proceeds from sales of properties held for sale.

Net cash used in financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $34.9 thousand and $3.1 million, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities primarily represents proceeds from the issuance of LROs to investors through the Groundfloor Platform offset by repayments of LROs to investors.

Material Trends, Events, and Uncertainties

Despite COVID-19, funding of draws on outstanding loans to developers has remained relatively steady in March through the end of May 2020, as much of the Southeast United States, where our borrower projects are concentrated, did not require cessation of construction projects. To date, we have not had significant difficulty funding our operations through LRO offerings, other Regulation A offerings, and other financing sources. We continue to see adequate credit performance in our Loan portfolio, and see robust demand for Loans by commercial borrowers. Our retail investment channel continues to invest in LROs on our platform and we continue to sell a relatively small number of loans to institutional purchasers. Moreover, our technology platform has enabled the Company to deploy a work from home environment for its employees, such that work continues more or less normally.

As a result, the Company has not yet experienced material changes in the funding amounts provided to developers due to material trends, events and uncertainties, including COVID-19. However, if the economic impacts of COVID-19 are sustained through the summer of 2020 and into the fall of 2020, our business may be materially impacted. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the amounts of funding provided to developers and the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

Effective August 5, 2015, Groundfloor changed its domiciliary state to Georgia under the name Groundfloor Finance Inc. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Groundfloor’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Groundfloor GA (as defined below), which was created for the purpose of financing real estate properties in Georgia, Holdings, which was created for the purpose of facilitating our loan advance program by entering into the Revolver, and GRE 1, which sold and issued LROs through the Groundfloor Platform from May to July 2017.

Summary Financial Information of Groundfloor Finance

The consolidated statements of operations data set forth below with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are derived from, and are qualified by reference to, the consolidated financial statements included in this Offering Circular and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and notes thereto.

Funding Loan Advances

To date, the Company has entered into four financial arrangements designed to facilitate Loan advances.

In November 2016, the Company entered into the Revolver credit facility to fund Loan advances (as defined below). The terms of the credit facility are as follows: Interest accrues at the greater of 10.0% per annum or the weighted average annual interest rate of the Loans then held by Holdings which have been originated with proceeds from the credit facility. The revolving credit facility was originally limited to $1.5 million with an option to increase the limit to $15.0 million (under certain circumstances). As of December 31, 2019 the capacity is $10.5 million and the maturity date is November 2, 2020, and is extendable for another additional year. The Company has given a corporate guaranty to Revolver Capital, now ACM Alamosa DA LLC, as additional support for the credit facility. ACM Alamosa DA LLC will also have a lien on the general assets of Holdings—which is made up exclusively of Loans that Holdings has originated. However, only Holdings, and its successors and assigns, are identified as a secured party in any documentation used to secure the advanced Loans. At no point will Holdings hold (or provide ACM Alamosa DA LLC a securities interest in) any Loan for which LROs have been issued.

When Holdings is not able to draw sufficient funds from this credit facility fast enough, the Company may elect to provide Holdings with a short term, non-interest bearing, full recourse loan using its operational capital to fund advances.

On January 11, 2017, Groundfloor entered into the ISB Note (as defined below) for a principal sum of $1.0 million, which was subsequently increased to $2.0 million, for the purpose of using the proceeds for our loan advance program, but may use the proceeds for other purposes in our sole discretion. The outstanding principal and accrued interest on the ISB Note were repaid in full in September 2019.

Starting in November 2018 and continuing throughout 2019, Groundfloor entered into various GROUNDFLOOR Notes, secured promissory notes, with accredited investors. The GROUNDFLOOR Notes are used for the purpose of the Company to originate, buy, and service loans for the purpose of building, buying, or rehabilitating single family and multifamily structures, or buying land for commercial purposes. The principal outstanding as of December 31, 2019 was $6.8 million.

In November and December 2019, Groundfloor entered into various short-term, secured promissory notes with accredited investors. Proceeds from the notes are used by the Company for originating, buying, and servicing loans to developers for the purpose of building, buying, and rehabilitating single family and multifamily structures, or buying land for commercial purposes. The aggregate principal outstanding of these loans as of December 31, 2019, was $1.3 million.

Financial Position and Operating History

In connection with their audit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our losses and cash outflows from operations. To strengthen our financial position, Groundfloor have continued to raise additional funds through convertible debt and equity offerings.

Groundfloor has a limited operating history and have incurred a net loss since our inception. Our net loss was $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. To date, Groundfloor has earned limited revenues from origination and servicing fees charged to borrowers in connection with the loans made by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GRE 1 and Groundfloor GA corresponding to the LROs and Georgia Notes. Groundfloor has funded our operations primarily with proceeds from our convertible debt and preferred stock issuances, which are described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Over time, Groundfloor expects that the number of borrowers and lenders, and the volume of loans originated through the Groundfloor Platform, will increase and generate increased revenue from borrower origination and servicing fees.

The proceeds from the sale of LROs described in this Offering Circular will not be used to directly finance our operations. Groundfloor will use the proceeds from sales of LROs exclusively to originate the Loans that correspond to the corresponding series of LROs sold to investors. However, Groundfloor collects origination and servicing fees on Loans Groundfloor is able to make to Developers, which Groundfloor recognizes as revenue. The more Loans Groundfloor is able to fund through the proceeds of our offerings, the more fee revenue Groundfloor will make. With increased fee revenue, our financial condition will improve. However, Groundfloor does not anticipate this increased fee revenue to be able to fully support our operations through the next twelve months.

Groundfloor’s operating plan calls for a continuation of the current strategy of raising equity and, in limited circumstances, debt financing to finance its operations until Groundfloor reach profitability and become cash-flow positive, which Groundfloor does not expect to occur before 2020. Groundfloor’s operating plan calls for significant investments in website development, security, investor sourcing, loan processing and marketing, and for several rounds of equity financing before Groundfloor reaches profitability.

Groundfloor completed its Series A Financing in December 2015, through which Groundfloor raised an aggregate of approximately $5.0 million (including the cancellation of the 2015 Bridge Notes (as defined below). Groundfloor raised an aggregate of $2.1 million as of December 31, 2017 through Groundfloor’s 2017 Note Financing (as defined below). Groundfloor has raised approximately $4.2 million in a 2018 Common Stock Offering and $3.1 million in a 2019 Common Stock Offering, as well as $3.6 million through Groundfloor’s 2019 Note Offering, in order to fund operations. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company facilitated the origination of 646 and 325 developer loans during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Origination fees and loan servicing revenue was earned through the origination of developer loans. Origination fees are determined by the term and credit risk of the developer loan and range from 1.0% to 6.0%. The fees are deducted from the loan proceeds at the time of issuance. Loan servicing revenue are fees incurred in servicing the developer loans. Additionally, Groundfloor incurred net interest income during the loan advance period. The increase in net interest income is due to the increase in overall portfolio size as the Company originated 99% more loans than the previous period. Groundfloor expects operating revenue to increase as its loan application and processing volume increases.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $5.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The increase in gross profit was due to $3.5 million in additional net revenue, offset by an increase in cost of revenue of $0.3 million. Cost of revenue consists primarily of payment processing and vendor costs associated with facilitating and servicing loans. Groundfloor expects gross profit to increase as its loan application and processing volume increases.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, an increase of $0.8 million or 41.3%. General and administrative expenses consists primarily of employee compensation cost, professional fees, consulting fees and rent expense. The increase was driven primarily by additional employees added in 2019, and secondarily by higher rent expense attributable to a full year in a new office space. Groundfloor expects general and administrative expense will continue to increase due to the planned investment in business infrastructure required to support its growth. 

Sales and Customer Support

Sales and customer support expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million or 19.6%. Sales and customer support expense consists primarily of employee compensation cost. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation related to increased headcount during the year to build out the sales and origination functions to support current and future growth. Groundfloor expect sales and customer support expense will continue to increase due to the planned investment in developer acquisition and customer support required to support its growth.

Development Expense

Development expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million or 17.8%. Development expense consists primarily of employee compensation cost and the cost of subcontractors who work on the development and maintenance of our website and lending platform. The increase was primarily due to increases in compensation cost related to increased headcount. Groundfloor expects development expense will continue to increase due to the planned investments in our website and lending platform required to support our technology infrastructure as Groundfloor grows.

Regulatory Expense

Regulatory expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0.2 million, respectively. Regulatory expense consists primarily of legal fees and compensation cost required to maintain SEC and other regulatory compliance. Groundfloor did not pursue additional regulatory paths during the year-ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and therefore fees remained consistent to the prior period. Groundfloor expects regulatory expense may increase due to the additional expense related to qualifying our offerings with the SEC, including our transition to Tier 2 under Regulation A, which will require complying with ongoing reporting requirements with the SEC and certain filing fees with applicable state regulatory authorities.

Marketing and Promotions Expense

Marketing and promotions expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.7 million or 30.1%. Marketing and promotions expense consists primarily of consulting expense, compensation cost as well as promotional and advertising expense. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in investor and borrower acquisition, which drove a decrease of $0.4 million in advertising and promotions. Groundfloor expects that marketing and promotions expense will increase due to the planned investment in investor and developer acquisition activities required to support its growth.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, excluding interest paid on limited recourse obligations and GROUNDFLOOR Notes, was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million. The company incurred $0.8 million in interest expense warehousing loans on the Revolver. Cash paid for interest on the Revolver was $0.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense related to the 2017 Subordinated Convertible Notes and 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes (as defined below) of $0.1 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense related to the 2017 ISB Note of $0.2 million was recognized during the year end December 31, 2019. Cash paid for interest related to the 2017 ISB Note was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense related to various other short-term notes issued in late 2019 was less than $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, and is accrued in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” as of December 31, 2019.

Net Loss

Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, a net loss decrease of $2.3 million or 37.1%. Gross profit increased $3.1 million or 124.0% in 2019 relative to 2018, while operating expenses increased only $0.7 million or 9.8% over the same period, reflecting that the Company’s investments in its workforce, brand, and technology in prior years have driven higher revenues and gross profit in the current year. Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $8.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation cost, legal fees, consulting and subcontractor cost as well as advertising and promotional expense. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation cost as Groundfloor added more staff to support business growth, increased consulting expense related to marketing operations, increased professional service fees and increased software development expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The consolidated financial statements included in this Offering Circular have been prepared assuming that Groundfloor will continue as a going concern; however, the conditions discussed below raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should Groundfloor be unable to continue as a going concern.

Groundfloor incurred a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and have an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2019 of $21.5 million. Since our inception, Groundfloor have financed our operations through debt and equity financing from various sources. Groundfloor are dependent upon raising additional capital or seeking additional equity financing to fund our current operating plans for the foreseeable future. Failure to obtain sufficient equity financing and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations could adversely affect our ability to achieve its business objectives and continue as a going concern. Further, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which the required financing and capital might be available.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.8 million and net cash (used in) for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $5.1 million. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities funded salaries, expense for contracted marketing, development and other professional service providers and expense related to sales and marketing initiatives.

Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $40.1 million and $18.7 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities primarily represents loan payments to developers offset by the repayment of loans to developers.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $40.0 million and $23.5 million, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily represents proceeds from the issuance of Georgia Notes and LROs to investors through the Groundfloor Platform, proceeds from the 2019 Common Stock Offering and issuance of convertible notes, offset by repayments of Georgia Notes and LROs to investors.

Groundfloor issued and sold 91,259 shares Series Seed Preferred Stock at an initial closing on December 5, 2014 (the “Series Seed Initial Closing”), for total proceeds of $475 thousand, pursuant to the Series Seed Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series Seed Purchase Agreement”), dated December 5, 2014 between us and the investors named therein (the “Series Seed Investors”).

Pursuant to the Series Seed Purchase Agreement, the Company sold each share of Series Seed Preferred Stock for $5.205 per share. In connection with the Series Seed Financing, Groundfloor also entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement with the Series Seed Investors and certain holders of our common stock, which was subsequently amended and restated in connection with the Series A Financing. The shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock were offered and sold pursuant to the federal exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Series Seed Financing terminated following the final Series Seed Subsequent Closing and Groundfloor does not intend to sell any additional shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock.

The 2015 Bridge Notes Financing terminated with the closing of the Series A Financing.

In addition, Groundfloor issued and sold 709,812 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at an initial closing on November 24, 2015 and subsequent closings through December 2015, for total gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

On November 1, 2016, Holdings, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, as borrower, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with Revolver Capital. The credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for revolving loans up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitments”).

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $7,000 of available borrowings and $10.5 million outstanding under the Revolver as presented within revolving credit facility on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company reflected $33,000 and $7,000, respectively, of deferred financing cost related to the Revolver as a reduction to the revolving credit facility on the consolidated balance sheets.

On January 11, 2017, Groundfloor entered into the ISB Note in favor of ISB for a principal sum of $1.0 million. Groundfloor paid to ISB an origination fee of $10 thousand concurrently with the funding by ISB of the principal of the ISB Note. Groundfloor subsequently entered into an amendment to the ISB Note extending the repayment schedule in return for a $5 thousand amendment fee, a second amendment increasing the principal amount outstanding to $2.0 million for a $30 thousand amendment fee, and a third amendment further extending the repayment schedule among other terms described below in return for a $10 thousand amendment fee.

The ISB Note incurs interest at the rate of 8% per annum from January 11, 2017 until September 30, 2017 and 14% per annum from October 1, 2017 until payment in full of the ISB Note, in each case calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

The ISB Note includes certain financial covenants related to the Company’s quarterly financial results and operating capital. The ISB Note is subject to customary event of default provisions. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the interest rate under the ISB Note shall increase by 7%.

Among other things, the security interest specifically excludes (i) any assets serving as collateral for the Company’s credit facility with Revolver Capital; (ii) any Loans for which a series of LROs has been issued, regardless of whether such Loans and corresponding series of LROs have been originated and issued by us or one of our subsidiaries; and (iii) the equity interest in any subsidiary formed by us for the sole purpose of issuing Loans and corresponding series of LROs.

In connection with the third amendment to the ISB Note, the Company agreed to issue to ISB a warrant for the purchase of shares of our common stock on the first day of each quarter commencing on October 1, 2017 until the ISB Note is repaid in full for the purchase of the following number of shares: (i) for each quarter until and including the first quarter of 2019, 4,000 shares of common stock; (ii) for the second quarter of 2019, 3,500 shares of common stock, (iii) for the third quarter of 2019, 2,300 shares of common stock; and (iv) for the fourth quarter of 2019, 1,100 shares of common stock.

On April 1, 2019, the 2017 Note was amended and restated for a fee of $10,000, to be deferred and amortized over the life of the 2017 Note. The stated interest rate under the amended and restated promissory note and security agreement (“Restated Note”) was increased to 14%. Under the terms of the Restated Note, $50,000 of the principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon was due and payable commencing on April 30, 2019, and each month thereafter; $1.0 million of the principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest was due and payable on September 30, 2019; and any remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest was due and payable on December 31, 2020.

From March 2017 to December 2017, Groundfloor issued subordinated convertible notes (the “Subordinated Convertible Notes”) to investors for total proceeds of $2.1 million (the “2017 Note Financing”). On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into amendments to the outstanding Subordinated Convertible Notes and related Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement raising the principal amount of Subordinated Convertible Notes that may be sold to $2.0 million, extending the maturity date, and allowing the Subordinated Convertible Notes, at the option of the holders, to convert outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock as described below. In November 2017, Groundfloor issued Subordinated Convertible Notes to investors for additional proceeds of $675 thousand. Furthermore, in December 2017, Groundfloor oversubscribed and issued Subordinated Convertible Notes to investors for additional proceeds of $550 thousand. The notes incur interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable on the earlier of September 30, 2019 or the consummation of a sale of the Company by consolidation, merger, change of majority ownership, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). In the event of a closing of a preferred stock financing with gross proceeds of at least $8.0 million (“Qualified Preferred Financing”) prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest would become automatically converted into shares of our preferred stock issued in the financing at a price per share equal to 75% of the price per share of the preferred stock financing. In the event of a closing of a common stock financing under Regulation A with gross proceeds of at least $3.0 million (“Qualified Common Financing”) prior to the Maturity Date, then each holder may elect, in its discretion, to convert the outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest into shares of our common stock issued in the financing at a price per share equal to 90% of the price per share of the common stock financing. The indebtedness represented by the Subordinated Notes is subordinated in all respects to the principal of (and premium, if any), unpaid interest on and amounts reimbursable, fees, expenses, costs of enforcement, and other amounts due in connection with the Revolver and ISB Note.

On February 9, 2018, Groundfloor launched an offering of our common stock under Tier 2 of Regulation A pursuant to an offering statement on Form 1-A qualified by the SEC (the “2018 Common Stock Offering”). As described in this Offering Circular, Groundfloor is offering up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at $10 per share, with a minimum investment of $100, or 10 shares of common stock. The aggregate initial offering price of our common stock will not exceed $5,000,000 in any 12-month period, and there is no minimum offering amount. Groundfloor is also offering a Bonus Share Program where Groundfloor may issue up to 30,000 additional bonus shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of this Offering Circular. As of December 31, 2018, Groundfloor issued 437,917 shares of common stock in the 2018 Common Stock Offering for $4.2 million in proceeds.

On October 12, 2018, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement for private placement of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for proceeds of $1.5 million.

In January 2019, the Company launched an offering of its common stock under Tier 2 of Regulation A pursuant to an offering statement on Form 1-A qualified by the SEC (the “2019 Common Stock Offering”). The Company offered up to 900,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share, with a minimum investment of $150, or 10 shares of common stock. According to the terms of the offering statement, the aggregate initial offering price of the common stock will not exceed $13,500,000 in any 12-month period, and there is no minimum offering amount. The Company may issue up to 30,000 additional bonus shares through an incentive program available to investors who had provided a previous indication of interest in investing in the Company.

The 2019 Common Stock Offering closed on a rolling basis from January 2019 to July 2019. As a result of the offering, the Company received gross proceeds of $3.1 million in exchange for the issuance of 214,535 shares of common stock, including 6,800 bonus shares issued through the incentive program described above.

In conjunction with the 2019 Common Stock Offering, certain holders of Restated Subordinated Convertible Notes converted their outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock at a contractually agreed upon 10% discount to the offered price. In 2019, $60,000 in notes principal and accrued interest were converted into 4,440 shares of common stock.

From September 2019 to December 2019, the Company issued subordinated convertible notes (the “2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes”) to Investors for total proceeds of $3.6 million. The 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable on the earlier of August 30, 2021, or the consummation of a sale of the Company by consolidation, merger, change of majority ownership, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). In the event of a closing of a preferred stock financing with gross proceeds of at least $8.0 million (“Qualified Preferred Financing”) prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest may be converted into shares of preferred stock issued in the financing at a price per share equal to 90% of the offering price per share in the Qualified Preferred Financing. At any time after six months after the issuance of a 2019 Subordinated Convertible Note, the investor may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock at 90% of the per share price of common stock at the time of conversion, as reasonably determined by the Board. The indebtedness represented by the 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes is subordinated in all respects to the principal of (and premium, if any), unpaid interest on and amounts reimbursable, fees, expenses, costs of enforcement, and other amounts due in connection with the Revolver.

Because of the contractual right of noteholders to convert their holdings to common stock at a discount to fair value, the Company determined that the 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes contain a beneficial conversion feature. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and component of additional paid-in capital at the in-the-money amount of $0.4 million at the time of issuance. The discount is being amortized to interest expense until the earlier of maturity or exercise of the conversion option.

Certain investors in 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes purchased their shares through the issuance of advance agreements to the Company (“Advances”). The Advances accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum and are payable to the Company within an initial term of 30 days, with an investor option to extend the term by 30 days, after which the Advances begin accruing interest at a rate of 14% per annum. The funds advanced to the investors are subject to recourse by the Company against the investors. The Advances, with principal sum of $0.3 million as of December 31, 2019, are recorded as a component of “Other current assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Principal of $3.6 million on the 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes, net of an unamortized discount of $0.4 million, was outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Accrued interest on the 2019 Subordinated Convertible Notes, presented within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $69,000 as of December 31, 2019.

Groundfloor has incurred losses since its inception, and Groundfloor expects it will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Groundfloor requires cash to meet its operating expenses and for capital expenditures. To date, Groundfloor has funded its cash requirements with proceeds from its convertible note and preferred stock issuances. Groundfloor anticipate that it will continue to incur substantial net losses as it grows the Groundfloor Platform. Groundfloor does not have any committed external source of funds, except as described above. To the extent our capital resources are insufficient to meet its future capital requirements, Groundfloor will need to finance its cash needs through public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Additional equity or debt financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Plan of Operation

Prior to September 2015, Groundfloor’s operations were limited to issuing Georgia Notes solely in Georgia to Georgia residents pursuant to an intrastate crowdfunding exemption from registration under the Securities Act and qualification under Georgia law. On September 7, 2015, the SEC qualified Groundfloor’s first offering statement on Form 1-A covering seven separate series of LROs corresponding to the same number of Projects in eight states and the District of Columbia. Subsequently, Groundfloor has not issued, and do not intend to issue in the future, any additional Georgia Notes. Since that time, Groundfloor has qualified two additional offering statements on Form 1-A in addition to an offering statement on Form 1-A qualified for GRE 1, its wholly-owned subsidiary, in each case under Tier 1 of Regulation A. In January 2018, Groundfloor’s offering statement relating to the offer and sale of limited recourse obligations (the “LRO Offering Circular”) was qualified by the SEC under Tier 2 of Regulation A, raising the annual aggregate amount of LROs which Groundfloor may offer and sell to $50 million, less any other securities sold by Groundfloor under Regulation A (including pursuant to this Offering Circular). Groundfloor has filed, and intends to continue to file, post-qualification amendments to the LRO Offering Circular on a regular basis to include additional series of LROs. Groundfloor expects to expand the number of states in which Groundfloor offers and sells LROs during the next 12 months. With this increased geographic footprint, Groundfloor expects that the number of borrowers and corresponding investors, and the volume of loans originated through the Groundfloor Platform, will increase and generate increased revenue from borrower origination and servicing fees.

As the volume of Groundfloor loans and corresponding offerings increase, Groundfloor plans to continue the current strategy of raising equity and, in limited circumstances, debt financing to finance our operations until Groundfloor reaches profitability and becomes cash flow positive, which Groundfloor does not expect to occur before 2020. Future equity or debt offerings by Groundfloor will be necessary to fund the significant investments in website development, security, investor sourcing, loan processing and marketing necessary to reach profitability. Groundfloor expects to hire more staff to support its expected growth in operations and to invest heavily in marketing throughout the next year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities. We do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.

Material Trends, Events, and Uncertainties

Despite COVID-19, funding of draws on outstanding loans to developers has remained relatively steady in March through the end of May 2020, as much of the Southeast United States, where our borrower projects are concentrated, did not require cessation of construction projects. To date, we have not had significant difficulty funding our operations through LRO offerings, other Regulation A offerings, and other financing sources. We continue to see adequate credit performance in our Loan portfolio, and see robust demand for Loans by commercial borrowers. Our retail investment channel continues to invest in LROs on our platform and we continue to sell a relatively small number of loans to institutional purchasers. Moreover, our technology platform has enabled the Company to deploy a work from home environment for its employees, such that work continues more or less normally.

As a result, the Company has not yet experienced material changes in the funding amounts provided to developers due to material trends, events and uncertainties, including COVID-19. However, if the economic impacts of COVID-19 are sustained through the summer of 2020 and into the fall of 2020, our business may be materially impacted. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the amounts of funding provided to developers and the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

Report of Independent Auditor

To the Board of Directors
Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC
Atlanta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, member’s (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not earned any significant revenues since its inception which result in substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans in regard to that matter also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Notes to Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

GROUNDFLOOR Real Estate 1, LLC (the “Company”), a Georgia limited liability company formed on December 16, 2016. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GROUNDFLOOR Finance Inc. (“GROUNDFLOOR”), a Georgia corporation.

Description of Business

GROUNDFLOOR has developed an online investment platform designed to crowdsource financing for real estate development projects, which GROUNDFLOOR utilizes to provide investment opportunities to investors. With this online investment platform, investors are able to choose between multiple real estate development investment opportunities, and developers of the projects are able to obtain financing. GROUNDFLOOR believes this method of financing real estate has many advantages including reduced project origination and financing costs, lower interest rates for real estate development financing, and attractive returns for investors. GROUNDFLOOR will identify which loans it seeks to originate, and will sell limited recourse obligations (“LROs”) which correspond to those loans. GROUNDFLOOR’s primary business is the sale of LROs and the Company’s primary purpose is the servicing of loans which correspond to those LROs.

Basis of Accounting and Liquidity

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Operations since inception have consisted primarily of organizing the Company. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has earned limited revenue since its inception. The ultimate success of the Company is dependent on management’s ability to develop and market its products and services at levels sufficient to generate operating revenues in excess of expenses. Management evaluated the condition of the Company and has determined that until such sales levels can be achieved, management will need to secure additional capital to continue to fund product development and sales and marketing.

Management intends to fund operations by capital obtained from GROUNDFLOOR. However, there are no assurances that the Company can be successful in obtaining the additional capital or such financing will be on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company or GROUNDFLOOR. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of uncertainties described in the financial statements. In addition, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets nor the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue primarily results from fees earned on the loans to the Developers (the “Loans”). Fees include “Loan servicing revenue” which are paid by the Developers.

GROUNDFLOOR REAL ESTATE 1, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

Effective for 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company has evaluated the impact of this accounting standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and concluded that the Company’s contracts with customers continue to fall within the scope of existing guidance. Servicing fees, origination fees, net interest income, and gains and losses on sales of loans remain within the scope of ASC topic 310—Receivables or ASC topic 860—Transfers and Servicing. Consequently, there was no transition adjustment required on the accompanying financial statements for adopting Topic 606.

Loan Servicing Revenue

The loan servicing revenue is recognized by the Company, upon recovery, for costs incurred in servicing the Developer’s Loan, including managing payments to and from Developers and payments to Investors. The Company records loan servicing revenue as a component of revenue when collected.

Interest Income on Loans to Developers and Interest Expense on Limited Recourse Obligations

The Company recognizes “Interest income” on Loans and “Interest expense” on the corresponding LROs (if issued by GROUNDFLOOR Real Estate 1, LLC) using the accrual method based on the stated interest rate to the extent the Company believes it to be collectable. For the purposes of these Financial Statements, “Limited recourse obligations, net” refers to LROs. LROs are the Company’s currently registered securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. From time to time, the Company could maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company believes credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents to be minimal.

Loans to Developers and Limited Recourse Obligations

“Loans to developers, net” and the corresponding “Limited recourse obligations, net”, used to fund the Loans are originally recorded at outstanding principal. The interest rate associated with a Loan is the same as the interest rate associated with the corresponding LROs.

The Company’s obligation to pay principal and interest on an LRO is equal to the pro rata portion of the total principal and interest payments collected from the corresponding Loan. The Company obtains a lien against the property being financed and attempts reasonable collection efforts upon the default of a Loan. The Company’s lien may be senior or junior to the Borrower’s other financing obligations. The Company is not responsible for repaying “Limited recourse obligations, net” associated with uncollectable “Loans to developers, net”. Amounts collected related to a Loan default are returned to the Investors based on their pro rata portion of the corresponding LROs, if applicable, less collection costs incurred by the Company.

The Loan and corresponding LROs are recorded on the Company’s Balance Sheets to “Loans to developers, net” and “Limited recourse obligations, net”, respectively, once the Loan has closed. Loans are considered closed after the promissory note for that Loan has been signed and the security interest has been perfected.

GROUNDFLOOR REAL ESTATE 1, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Accrual of interest on “Loans to developers, net” and corresponding “Limited recourse obligations, net” is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the collection of the interest income appears doubtful. “Interest income” and “Interest expense” on the “Loans to developers, net” and the corresponding “Limited recourse obligations, net” are discontinued and placed on nonaccrual status at the time the Loan is 90 days delinquent unless the Loan is well secured and in process of collection. A Loan may also be placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s judgment, the collection of the interest income appears doubtful based on the status of the underlying development project, even if the Loan is not yet 90 days delinquent. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The “Loans to developers, net” and corresponding “Limited recourse obligations, net” are charged off to the extent principal or interest is deemed uncollectible. All interest accrued but later charged off for “Loans to developers, net” and “Limited recourse obligations, net” is reversed against “Interest income” and the corresponding LROs recorded “Interest expense”.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. Impaired loans include Loans on nonaccrual status. When determining if the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the Company considers the borrower’s capacity to pay, which includes such factors as the borrower’s current financial position, an analysis of global cash flow sufficient to pay all debt obligations and an evaluation of secondary sources of repayment, such as collateral value and guarantor support. The Company individually assesses for impairment all nonaccrual Loans and all Loans in fundamental default. If a Loan is deemed impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the Loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the Loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis.

Allowance for Uncollectable Loans and Undeliverable Limited Recourse Obligations

Payments to holders of LROs, as applicable, depend on the payments received on the corresponding Loans; a reduction or increase of the expected future payments on Loans will decrease or increase the reserve for the associated LROs. The Company recognizes a reserve for uncollectable Loans and corresponding reserve for undeliverable LROs in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on management’s estimates and analysis of historical bad debt experience, existing economic conditions, current loan aging schedules, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific, identifiable Developer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Expected losses and actual charge-offs on Loans are offset to the extent that the Loans are financed by LROs, as applicable, that effectively absorb the related Loan losses.

“Loans to developers, net” are presented net of a reserve for doubtful accounts of $0 and $0 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. “Limited recourse obligations, net” are presented net of a reserve for doubtful accounts of $0 and $35,054 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

GROUNDFLOOR REAL ESTATE 1, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

Other Real Estate Owned

Foreclosed assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Any write-down to fair value at the time of transfer to foreclosed assets is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Costs of improvements are capitalized up to the fair value of the property, whereas costs relating to holding foreclosed assets and subsequent adjustments to the value are charged to operations. 

Income Taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company is not a taxpaying entity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, its taxable income or losses are allocated to its member based on the provisions of the operating agreement and are included in the members’ income tax returns. The financial statements, therefore, do not include a provision for income taxes. Similar provisions apply for state income tax purposes.

Management has assessed the effect of the guidance provided by U.S. GAAP on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management has evaluated all tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements and determined the Company had no uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic: 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The amendment changes the accounting for equity investments, changes disclosure requirements related to instruments at amortized cost and fair value, and clarifies how entities should evaluate deferred tax assets for securities classified as available for sale. Affected entities should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance in these pronouncements related to equity investments and deferred tax assets for securities classified as available for sale did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The guidance further eliminates a requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public entities, and eliminates a requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The FASB subsequently issued a number of pronouncements amending or clarifying ASU 2016-13, including the following: in November 2018, Accounting Standards Update 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”); in May 2019, Accounting Standards Update 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief (“ASU 2019-05”); in November 2019, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019-10”); and in November 2019, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2019-11”). ASU 2016-13 and the subsequent related pronouncements significantly change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The new standard will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures, which include, but are not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13 simplifies the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2029; for all other public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020; for all other entities (private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans), the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, ASU 2016-13 provides for a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

GROUNDFLOOR REAL ESTATE 1, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) and in November 2016 issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The ASUs will be effective January 1, 2019, and amend the existing accounting standards for the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following nine cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle; and restricted cash. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the periods presented.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions in Topic 740 and introducing other changes intended to clarify and improve existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020; for all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company purchases notes that provide financing to borrowers for real estate-related loans. Real estate loans include loans for unoccupied single family or multifamily renovations costing between $20,000 and $2,000,000 over six months to a year.

The Company uses three performance states to better monitor the credit quality of outstanding loans. Outstanding loans are characterized as follows:

Current - This status indicates that no events of default have occurred, all payment obligations have been met or none are yet triggered.

Workout - This status indicates there has been one or more payment defaults on the Loan and the Company has negotiated a modification of the original terms that does not amount to a fundamental default.

Fundamental Default - This status indicates a Loan has defaulted and there is a chance the Company will not be able to collect 100% of the principal amount of the Loan by the extended payment date of the corresponding LROs.

GROUNDFLOOR uses a proprietary grading algorithm to assign one of seven letter grades, from A to G, to each Loan. The letter grade generally reflects the overall risk of the Loan, with A indicating less risk and G indicating higher risk.

GROUNDFLOOR REAL ESTATE 1, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

The following table presents the carrying amount of “Loans to developers, net” by letter grade and performance state as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A Loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s judgment, the collection of the interest income appears doubtful. “Interest receivable on loans to developers” that has been accrued and is subsequently determined to have doubtful collectability is charged to “Interest income” and the corresponding “Accrued interest on limited recourse obligations” that has been accrued and is subsequently determined to have doubtful collectability is charged to “Interest expense”. Interest income on Loans that are classified as nonaccrual is subsequently applied to principal until the Loans are returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Past due Loans are loans whose principal or interest is past due 30 days or more. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company placed Loans of $0 and 157,070 recorded to “Loans to developers, net” on nonaccrual status, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

“Other real estate owned” in the Company’s Balance Sheet was $166,973 and $23,569 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company transferred $157,070 from “Loans to developers, net” and $9,903 from “Interest receivable on loans to developers” to “Other real estate owned”. Other real estate owned met the held for sale criteria and have been recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. There was no impact to the Company’s Statements of Operation from this transfer. The Company did not record a decrease to “Loans to developers, net” or an offsetting decrease to “Limited recourse obligations, net”.

GROUNDFLOOR Finance Inc.

GROUNDFLOOR will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s Offering, and the servicing and sale of the Company’s LROs.

The Company will also reimburse GROUNDFLOOR for actual expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with the servicing of a Loan, to the extent not reimbursed by the borrower. The Company will reimburse GROUNDFLOOR for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to the Company. This does not include GROUNDFLOOR’s overhead, employee costs borne by GROUNDFLOOR, utilities or technology costs. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, GROUNDFLOOR incurred $7,045 and $5,100 of costs on the Company’s behalf, respectively. No such costs were due and payable to GROUNDFLOOR as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

GROUNDFLOOR GA Holdings LLC

GROUNDFLOOR GA Holdings LLC may close and fund a Loan prior to its being acquired by the Company. The ability to warehouse Loans allows us the flexibility to deploy the offering proceeds as funds are raised. The Company then will acquire such LROs at a price equal to the fair market value of the Loan (including reimbursements for servicing fees and accrued interest, if any), so there is no mark-up (or mark-down) at the time of purchase. 

Subsequent events were evaluated through February 29, 2020, the date the Financial Statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, it was determined that no subsequent events occurred that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 21, 2019, expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not earned any significant revenues since its inception which result in substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans in regard to that matter also are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Description of Business

The terms "we," "our," “GROUNDFLOOR,” or the "Company" refer to Groundfloor Finance Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company was originally organized as a North Carolina limited liability company under the name of Fomentum Labs LLC on January 28, 2013. Fomentum Labs LLC changed its name to Groundfloor LLC on April 26, 2013, and converted into a North Carolina corporation on July 26, 2013. In connection with this conversion, all equity interests in Groundfloor LLC were converted into shares of GROUNDFLOOR Inc.’s common stock. In August 2014, GROUNDFLOOR Inc. converted into a Georgia corporation and changed its name to Groundfloor Finance Inc. The accounting effects of these conversions were reflected retrospectively in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Groundfloor Holdings GA, LLC is the holder of the Revolver, as defined in Note 7. Groundfloor Properties GA LLC was created for the purpose of financing real estate in Georgia. Groundfloor Real Estate 1 LLC and Groundfloor Real Estate 2 LLC were created for the purpose of financing real estate in any state. Groundfloor Real Estate, LLC is currently inactive and management does not have plans to use this entity in the near future.

The Company has developed an online investment platform designed to crowdsource financing for real estate development projects (the “Projects”). With this online investment platform (the “Platform”), public investors (the “Investors”) are able to choose between multiple Projects, and real estate developers (the “Developers”) of the Projects are able to obtain financing. GROUNDFLOOR’s financing model replaces traditional sources of financing for Projects with the aggregation of capital from Investors using the internet.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include Groundfloor Finance Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Groundfloor Properties GA LLC; Groundfloor Real Estate, LLC; Groundfloor Holdings GA, LLC; Groundfloor Real Estate 1 LLC; and Groundfloor Real Estate 2, LLC (collectively the “Company” or “GROUNDFLOOR”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Operations since inception have consisted primarily of organizing the Company, developing the technology, and securing financing. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses and cash outflows from operations since its inception. The ultimate success of the Company is dependent on management’s ability to develop and market its products and services at levels sufficient to generate operating revenues in excess of expenses.

Management evaluated the condition of the Company and has determined that until such sales levels can be achieved, management will need to secure additional capital to continue growing working capital and fund product development and operations.

Management intends to raise additional debt or equity financing to grow working capital and fund operations. Management believes the Company will obtain additional funding from current and new Investors in order to sustain operations. However, there are no assurances that the Company can be successful in obtaining the additional capital or that such financing will be on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.

As of the issuance date but subsequent to the date of these financial statements, the Company has commenced an equity offering through which it may raise up to $5.0 million in new financing. At the time of issuance, the Company has closed on approximately $0.3 million in new financing. See Note 13, “Subsequent Events.”

There is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern for at least 12 months following the date these Consolidated Financial Statements are issued, without additional financing based on the Company’s limited operating history and recurring operating losses.

The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets nor the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue primarily results from fees earned on the loans to the Developers (the “Loans”). Fees include “Origination fees” and “Loan servicing revenue” which are paid by the Developers.

Effective for 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company has evaluated the impact of this accounting standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and concluded that the Company’s contracts with customers continue to fall within the scope of existing guidance. Servicing fees, origination fees, net interest income, and gains and losses on sales of loans remain within the scope of ASC topic 310—Receivables or ASC topic 860—Transfers and Servicing. Consequently, there was no transition adjustment required on the accompanying financial statements for adopting Topic 606.

Origination Fees

“Origination fees” are paid by the Developers for the work performed to facilitate the Loans. The amount to be charged is a percentage based upon the terms of the Loan, including grade, rate, term, and other factors. Origination fees range from 1.0% to 5.0% of the principal amount of a Loan. The origination fee is paid when the Loan is issued to the Developer and deducted from the gross proceeds distributed. A Loan is considered issued when formal closing has occurred and funds have transferred to the Developer’s account, which occurs through an Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”).

The origination fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the Loan, while direct costs to originate Loans are recorded as expenses as incurred.

Loan Servicing Revenue

Loan servicing revenue is recognized by the Company, upon recovery, for costs incurred in servicing the Developer’s Loan, including managing payments to and from Developers and payments to Investors. The Company records loan servicing revenue as a component of revenue when collected. Direct costs to service Loans are recorded as expenses as incurred.

Whole Loan Sales

Under loan sale agreements, the Company sells all of its rights, title, and interest in certain loans. At the time of such sales, the Company may simultaneously enter into loan servicing agreements under which it acquires the right to service the loans. The Company calculates a gain or loss on a whole loan sale based on the net proceeds from the whole loan sale, less the carrying value of the loans sold. All unamortized origination fees incurred in the origination process are recognized directly to Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded to “Origination fees”. For sold loans for which the Company retains servicing rights, the Company compares the expected contractual benefits of servicing to the expected costs of servicing to determine whether a servicing asset or servicing liability arises from the transaction. No servicing rights assets or liabilities have been identified for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Interest Income on Loans to Developers and Interest Expense on Limited Recourse Obligations

The Company recognizes “Interest income” on Loans and “Interest expense” on the corresponding Investor Georgia Notes (if issued by Groundfloor GA) or LROs (if issued by Groundfloor Finance Inc.) using the accrual method based on the stated interest rate to the extent the Company believes it to be collectable. For the purposes of these Consolidated Financial Statements, “Limited recourse obligations, net” refers to both Georgia Notes and LROs. Georgia Notes are securities that the Company has issued through its previously registered Georgia-exclusive securities offering, which has since been terminated. LROs are the Company’s currently registered securities. Both Georgia Notes and LROs represent similar obligations of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. From time to time, the Company could maintain cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company believes credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents to be minimal.

Each investor’s escrow account receives Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage on cash balances subject to normal FDIC coverage rules. Investor funds, whether committed through a LRO or held in escrow, are not included as a part of the Company’s cash balance.
