Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

The company is not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because the company is not registering its securities under the Exchange Act.  Rather, the company will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

  annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding two fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than two years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),

 

  semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and

 

  current reports for certain material events. 

 

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which the company’s offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, the company may immediately suspend its ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A. 

 

If and when the company becomes subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during its last fiscal year, it will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company, the company:

 

  will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

  will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing its compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with its principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);

 

  will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from its unit holders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

 

  will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

 

  may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and

 

  will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

The company intends to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. The company’s election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare its financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, the company may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after its initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that the company no longer meets the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that the company would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if it has more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of its common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that the company may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

SUMMARY

  

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in the company’s Series Interests, you should carefully read this entire Offering Circular, including the company’s financial statements and related notes. You should also consider, among other information, the matters described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

The Company

 

Here Collection LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company formed on June 15, 2021, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Here, a Delaware corporation. Here Collection is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific vacation rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

The company intends to establish separate Series for the holding of vacation rental properties to be acquired by the company. Notably, the debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series of the company will be enforceable against the assets of the applicable Series only, and not against the assets of the company. In addition, Here Collection will manage all Underlying Assets related to the various Series including the sales of property, property vacation bookings, maintenance and insurance.

 

It is not anticipated that any Series would own any assets other than its respective real estate property and associated assets, the reason for which the applicable Series was created (“The Underlying Asset(s)”), plus cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to such Underlying Assets and amounts earned by each Series from the monetization of the Underlying Asset. It is intended that owners of a Series Interest in a Series will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the specific Underlying Assets owned by that Series.  

 

For example, an investor who acquires Series Interests in Series #1 will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the property located at 1989 Loraine Rd., Largo, FL 33774. An investor who acquires Series Interests in Series #1 will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to that property.

 

Here PM, a subsidiary of Here, will serve as the property manager responsible for managing each Series’ Underlying Assets (the “Property Manager”) as described in the Property Management Agreements between Here PM and the respective Series.

 

Here will serve as the managing member (the “Managing Member”) responsible for the day-to-day management of the company and each Series. Each Series may purchase the property from a third party or from Here or its subsidiary, such as is the case with Series #1.

The Current Offering

 

Securities Being Offered:   We are offering the minimum and maximum number of Series Interests of each Series at a price per Series Interest set forth in the “Series Offering Table” section above. Our Managing Member will own a minimum of 1% and may own a maximum of 51% of the Series Interests of each Series at closing, although such minimum and maximum thresholds may be waived or modified by our Managing Member in its sole discretion. Our Managing Member may sell these Series Interests at any time after the applicable closing. 

Each Series of Series Interests is intended to be a separate Series of our company for purposes of assets and liabilities. See “Securities Being Offered” for further details. The Series Interests will be non-voting except with respect to certain matters set forth in our Amended and Restated Series Limited Liability Company Agreement of Here Collection dated January 28, 2022, as amended from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”) including the Series Designations applicable to the Series. The purchase of Series Interests in a Series is an investment only in that Series of our company and not an investment in our company as a whole.

     
Minimum and maximum subscription:   The minimum subscription by an investor is 100 Series Interests and the maximum subscription by any investor is for Series Interests representing 19.9% of the total Series Interests of a particular Series, although such minimum and maximum thresholds may be waived or modified by our Managing Member in its sole discretion. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders” for additional information.
     
Use of Proceeds:   Net proceeds from the sale of Series Interests will be used to purchase the relevant Underlying Assets set forth in the “Series Offering Table” above, pay a sourcing fee to Here, and to create a maintenance reserve for the applicable Underlying Assets.  Our Managing Member initially bears all offering expenses, other than brokerage commissions, on behalf of each Series and such expenses will be allocated among and reimbursed by all Series established by Here Collection . See “Use of Proceeds to Issuer” for further details.

 

Selected Risks 

 

The company’s business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the company or any Underlying Asset. 

 

If the company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then investors may have to share any liabilities of the company with all investors and not just those who hold the same Series Interests as them.

 

Each Series will rely on its Property Manager, Here PM, to manage each property.

 

If we fail to manage our growth, we may not have access sufficient personnel and other resources to operate our business and our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

If Here fails to attract and retain its key personnel, the company may not be able to achieve its anticipated level of growth and its business could suffer.

 

 

3

 

 

 

There is competition for time among the various entities sharing the same management team.

 

The company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate.

 

Possible changes in federal tax laws make it impossible to give certainty to the tax treatment of any Series Interests.

 

The company’s Managing Member can determine in its sole discretion whether to suspend the redemption provision of the company’s Operating Agreement.

 

The company’s consolidated financial statements include a going concern opinion.

 

If the company does not successfully dispose of real estate assets, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period.

 

Competition with other parties for real estate investments may reduce the company’s profitability.

 

The company may not raise sufficient funds to achieve its business objectives.

 

The company’s management has full discretion as to the use of proceeds from the offering.

 

There is currently no trading market for the company’s securities.

 

The purchase prices for the Series Interests have been arbitrarily determined.

 

The company’s real estate and real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate.

 

We face possible risks associated with natural disasters and the physical effects of climate change, which may include more frequent or severe storms, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

The performance of any real estate asset is likely to fluctuate significantly due to seasonality.

 

The underlying value and performance of any real estate asset will fluctuate with general and local economic conditions.

 

The market in which the company participates is competitive and, if it does not compete effectively, its operating results could be harmed.

 

The company will be dependent on the vacation rental platforms through which it lists its properties.

 

A vacation rental property could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on the Underlying Assets.

 

The company may decide to sell property which could conflict with an investor’s interests.

 

A decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which each property is located or in the United States generally could lead to a decrease in bookings, cancellations and lower rental rates in those markets.

 

Lawsuits may arise between the company and its tenants resulting in lower cash distributions to investors.

 

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce the company’s net income and the cash available for distributions to its investors.

 

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to the company’s investors.

 

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions.

 

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce the company’s cash flows and the return on investment.

 

The company’s Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement each include a forum selection provision, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action against our company.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under these Agreements.

 

The company’s results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect the company’s business.

RISK FACTORS

 

The SEC requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as cyber-attacks and the ability to prevent those attacks). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risks Relating to the Structure, Operation and Performance of the Company

 

An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the company or any Underlying Asset. A purchase of Series Interests in a Series does not constitute an investment in either the company or an Underlying Asset directly, or in any other Series Interest.  This results in limited voting rights of the investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Operating Agreement, of the company, described further herein.  Investors will have limited voting rights. Thus, the Managing Member and the Property Manager retain significant control over the management of the company, each Series and the Underlying Assets.  

 

Furthermore, because the Series Interests in a Series do not constitute an investment in the company as a whole, holders of the Series Interests in a Series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from, or be subject to the liabilities of, the assets of any other Series.  In addition, the economic interest of a holder in a Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided interest in an Underlying Asset because, among other things, a Series will be required to pay corporate taxes before distributions are made to the holders, and the Property Manager will receive a fee in respect of its management of the Underlying Asset.

 

Liability of investors between Series. The company is structured as a Delaware series limited liability company that issues a separate Series Interests for specific Underlying Assets. Each Series will merely be a separate Series and not a separate legal entity. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”), if certain conditions (as set forth in Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act) are met, the liability of investors holding Series Interests in one Series is segregated from the liability of investors holding Series Interests in another Series and the assets of one Series ts are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other Series.  

 

Although this limitation of liability is recognized by the courts of Delaware, there is no guarantee that if challenged in the courts of another U.S. State or a foreign jurisdiction, such courts will uphold a similar interpretation of Delaware corporation law, and in the past certain jurisdictions have not honored such interpretation.

 

If the company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then investors may have to share any liabilities of the company with all investors and not just those who hold the same Series Interests as them and account for them separately and otherwise meet the requirements of the LLC Act, it is possible a court could conclude that the methods used did not satisfy Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act and thus potentially expose the assets of a Series to the liabilities of another Series.  The consequence of this is that investors may have to bear higher than anticipated expenses which would adversely affect the value of their Series Interests or the likelihood of any distributions being made by a particular Series to its investors.

 

In addition, the company is not aware of any court case that has tested the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18-215(b) in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one Series should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other Series or the liabilities of the company generally where the assets of such other Series or of the company generally are insufficient to meet its liabilities.

 

If any fees, costs and expenses of the company are not allocable to a specific Series, they will be borne proportionately across all of the Series (which may include future Series to be issued).  Although the Managing Member will allocate fees, costs and expenses acting reasonably and in accordance with its allocation policy (see “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses” section), there may be situations where it is difficult to allocate fees, costs and expenses to a specific Series and therefore, there is a risk that a Series may bear a proportion of the fees, costs and expenses for a service or product for which another Series received a disproportionately high benefit.

 

5

 

 

Each Series will rely on its Property Manager, Here PM, to manage each property. Following the acquisition of any property, the property will be managed by Here PM, a subsidiary of Here. In addition, Here PM will be entitled to certain fees in exchange for its day-to-day operations of each property. Any compensation arrangements will be determined by Here sitting on both sides of the table and will not be an arm’s length transaction.

 

If we fail to manage our growth, we may not have access sufficient personnel and other resources to operate our business and our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer. We intend to establish additional Series and acquire additional vacation rental properties in the future. As we do so, we will be increasingly reliant on the resources of Here and Here PM to manage our properties and our company. Currently, Here operates with a small staff of 4 people and may need to hire additional staff. If its resources are not adequate to manage our properties effectively, our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

If Here fails to attract and retain its key personnel, the company may not be able to achieve its anticipated level of growth and its business could suffer. The company’s future depends, in part, on Here’s ability to attract and retain key personnel. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of the executive officers and other key personnel of Here, each of whom would be difficult to replace.

 

In particular, Corey Ashton Walters, the Chief Executive Officer of Here, is critical to the management of the company’s business and operations and the development of its strategic direction. The loss of the services of Mr. Walters or other executive officers or key personnel of Here and the process to replace any of those key personnel would involve significant time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of the company’s business objectives.

 

There is competition for time among the various entities sharing the same management team. Currently, Here is the Managing Member of Here Collection and each Series, and Here PM is the Property Manager for each Series. Here expects to create more Series in the future as additional attractive vacation rental properties are identified. It is foreseeable that at certain times the various Series will be competing for time from the management team.

 

The company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate. The company and each Series were recently formed and have not generated any revenues and have no operating history upon which prospective investors may evaluate their performance. No guarantee can be given that the company or any Series will achieve their investment objectives, the value of any Underlying Assets will increase or that any Underlying Assets will be successfully monetized.

 

Possible changes in federal tax laws make it impossible to give certainty to the tax treatment of any Series Interests. The Code is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations of the Code may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury Department through changes in regulations and by the Internal Revenue Service through its audit policy, announcements, and published and private rulings. Although significant changes to the tax laws historically have been given prospective application, no assurance can be given that any changes made in that law affecting an investment in any Series of the company would be limited to prospective effect.

 

For instance, prior to effectiveness of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, an exchange of the Series Interests of one Series for another might have been a non-taxable ‘like-kind exchange’ transaction, while transactions would only qualify for that treatment with respect to real property.  Accordingly, the ultimate effect on an investor’s tax situation may be governed by laws, regulations or interpretations of laws or regulations which have not yet been proposed, passed or made, as the case may be.

 

The company’s Managing Member can determine in its sole discretion whether to suspend the redemption provision of the company’s Operating Agreement. Under Section 7.5 of the company’s Operating Agreement, the company is instituting a redemption plan for redeeming Series Interests, which are at set ratios. The ratios in the first 24 months after the acquisition of the relevant Series Interests would require redemption below the prices at which the Series Interests were issued. The company’s Managing Member has the sole discretion whether to suspend redemptions, which may occur in cases of limited liquidity of the company.

 

6

 

 

The company’s consolidated financial statements include a going concern opinion. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. We are newly formed and have not generated revenue from operations. We will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.

 

If the company does not successfully dispose of real estate assets, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period. The determination of whether to dispose of the Underlying Assets associated with any Series is entirely at the discretion of the company. Even if the company decides to dispose of such Underlying Assets, the company cannot guarantee that it will be able to dispose of them at a favorable price to investors.

 

Competition with other parties for real estate investments may reduce the company’s profitability. The company will compete with other entities engaged in real estate investment for the acquisition or sale of properties, including financial institutions, many of which have greater resources than the company does. Larger entities may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital. Such competition could make it more difficult for the company to obtain future funding, which could affect the company’s growth as a company.

  

Risks Relating to the Offering

 

The company may not raise sufficient funds to achieve its business objectives. There is no minimum amount required to be raised before the company can accept your subscription for the Series Interests, and it can access the funds immediately. The company may not raise an amount sufficient for it to meet all of its objectives, including acquiring the Underlying Assets. Once the company accepts your investment funds, there will be no obligation to return your funds. Even if other Series Interests are sold, there may be insufficient funds raised through this offering to cover the expenses associated with the offering or complete the purchase of the Underlying Assets and the development and implementation of the company’s operations. The lack of sufficient funds to pay expenses and for working capital will negatively impact the company’s ability to implement and complete its planned use of proceeds.

 

The company’s management has full discretion as to the use of proceeds from the offering. The company presently anticipates that the net proceeds from the offering will be used by us to purchase the Underlying Assets of the Series and as general working capital. The company reserves the right, however, to use the funds from the offering for other purposes not presently contemplated herein but which are related directly to growing its current business. As a result of the foregoing, purchasers of the Series Interests hereby will be entrusting their funds to the company’s management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions.

 

There is currently no trading market for the company’s securities. There is currently no public trading market for any Series Interests, and an active market may not develop or be sustained.  If an active public or private trading market for the Series Interests does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your Series Interests at any price.  Even if a public or private market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your Series Interests.

 

The purchase prices for the Series Interests have been arbitrarily determined. The purchase price for the Series Interests has been arbitrarily determined by the company and bears no relationship to the company’s assets, book value, earnings or other generally accepted criteria of value. In determining pricing, the company considered factors such as the purchase and holding costs of the Underlying Assets, the company’s limited financial resources, the nature of its assets, estimates of its business potential, the degree of equity or control desired to be retained by Managing Member and general economic conditions.

Risk Factors Related to the Real Estate Market

 

The company’s real estate and real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate. The properties the company acquires will be subject to the risks typically associated with the travel industry and real estate, which may be adversely affected by a number of risks, including:

 

  natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods;

 

  pandemics, such as COVID-19;

 

  acts of war or terrorism, including the consequences of terrorist attacks;

 

  adverse changes in national and local economic and real estate conditions;

 

  an oversupply of (or a reduction in demand for) vacation rentals in the areas where particular properties are located and the attractiveness of particular properties to prospective travelers;

 

  changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance therewith and the potential for liability under applicable laws;

 

  costs of remediation and liabilities associated with environmental conditions affecting properties; and

 

  the potential for uninsured or underinsured property losses. 

 

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic reductions in travel generally as countries, and many states in the United States, imposed stay at home orders and adopted social distancing measures. Through travel has since resumed, it remains subject to restrictions, including mask mandates and restrictions on international travel that time, which could continue to dampen the level of travel both within the United States and internationally. The value of each Series is also related to its ability to generate cash flow and net income, which in turn depends on the amount of booking revenue or other income that can be generated net of expenses required to be incurred with respect to the property. Many expenditures associated with properties (such as operating expenses and capital expenditures) cannot be reduced when there is a reduction in income from the properties.

 

We face possible risks associated with natural disasters and the physical effects of climate change, which may include more frequent or severe storms, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our coastal destinations could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels causing damage to our properties and result in reduced bookings at these properties. Climate change may also affect our business by increasing the cost of, or making unavailable, property insurance on terms we find acceptable in areas most vulnerable to such events, increasing operating costs, including the cost of water or energy, and requiring us to expend funds to repair and protect our properties in connection with such events. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 

 

The performance of any real estate asset is likely to fluctuate significantly due to seasonality. The performance of any vacation rental property is likely to fluctuate significantly during the course of a year, reflecting periods of lower or higher demand depending on the location of the property. We may experience declines in occupancy rates and revenues during low seasons, while costs and expenses do not decline at the same rate, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, cash flow and ability to make distributions to investors.

 

The underlying value and performance of any real estate asset will fluctuate with general and local economic conditions. The successful operation of any real estate asset is significantly related to general and local economic conditions. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for vacation rentals, declining real estate values, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, can result in reductions in the underlying value of any asset and result in poor economic performance. In such cases, investors may lose the full value of their investment, or may not experience any distributions from the real estate asset.

The market in which the company participates is competitive and, if it does not compete effectively, its operating results could be harmed. The company competes with many others engaged in real estate in general and vacation rental operating activities in particular, including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds. In particular, the company intends to list its vacation rental properties through established vacation rental booking platforms, such as AirBNB and Vrbo, and the company’s properties will compete will all other properties listed in those sites in the vicinity of the company’s property, as well as other traditional accommodations such as hotels which may have built-in client bases and significantly greater resources and the ability to withstand economic downturns or off-peak vacancies. This market is competitive and rapidly changing. Significant increases in the number of listings for short-term vacation rentals in the geographic areas where the company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand for short-term rentals, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact to value of the Underlying Asset. The company expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to generate sufficient rental income from its vacation properties or acquire additional properties on terms that investors find to be reasonable.

 

The company will be dependent on the vacation rental platforms through which it lists its properties. The company intends to promote its vacation rental properties through vacation rental booking platforms such as AirBNB and Vrbo and will rely on these platforms to facilitate bookings, communications with renters, collection of rental amounts and taxes, and to remit those payments appropriately. If these platforms were to experience disruptions or fail to meet users expectations, our business could suffer. Furthermore, if one or more of these platforms were to cease operations or to reject our listing, we may have difficulty renting our vacation property, which could have a material adverse effect on our results, profitability and the ability to make distributions to investors.

 

A vacation rental property could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on the Underlying Assets. A vacation rental property may incur losses due to extended periods of vacancy and may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available for distribution to its investors. In addition, the resale value of the Underlying Assets could be diminished if the market value of the Underlying Assets declines, due to a decrease in cash flow generated by property or decline in real estate market values. Such a reduction in the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of investors Series Interests.

 

The company may decide to sell property which could conflict with an investor’s interests. The company may determine when to sell any property at any time in accordance with the management rights afforded to the Managing Member. Investors will not have a say in this decision. The timing and decision to sell a property may conflict with investors personal interests, beliefs or theories regarding the real estate market. Further, it is possible the sale was not done at an optimal time. In any case, investors would not have any cause of action against the company or Managing Member for such sales.

 

A decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which each property is located or in the United States generally could lead to a decrease in bookings, cancellations and lower rental rates in those markets. As a result of these trends, the company may reduce revenue, potentially resulting in losses and lower resale value of properties, which may reduce your return.

 

Lawsuits may arise between the company and its tenants resulting in lower cash distributions to investors. Disputes between landlords and tenants are common. These disputes may escalate into legal action from time to time. In the event a lawsuit arises between the company and a tenant it is likely that the company will see an increase in costs. Accordingly, cash distributions to investors may be affected.

  

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce the company’s net income and the cash available for distributions to its investors. Real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment and human health. The company could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building materials and other health and safety-related concerns. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Activities of the company’s tenants, the condition of properties at the time the company buys them, operations in the vicinity of its properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect its properties. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly manage or remediate these substances, may hinder the company’s ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties or damages the company must pay will reduce its ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of your investment.

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to the company’s investors. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us booking the property. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances and governments may seek recovery for natural resource damage. The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury, property damage or natural resource damage claims could reduce or eliminate the amounts available for distribution to you.

 

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions. Each Underlying Asset may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Any funds used for ADA compliance will reduce the company’s net income and the amount of cash available for distributions to investors.

 

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce the company’s cash flows and the return on investment. There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums the company pays for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, to the extent the company finances the acquisition of an Underlying Asset, mortgage lenders in some cases insist that property owners purchase coverage against flooding as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at reasonable costs, which could inhibit the company’s ability to finance or refinance its properties if so required. In such instances, the company may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. The company may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of the properties incur a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of the assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which may reduce the value of investor interests. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves the company may establish, the company has no additional sources of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent the company must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, it could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to investors.

Risks Related to Forum Selection and Jury Waivers

 

Investors will be subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. As part of this investment, each investor will be required to agree to the terms of the Subscription Agreement included as Exhibit 4 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is part. The Subscription Agreement requires investors to indemnify the company for any claim of brokerage commissions, finders’ fees, or similar compensation. Legal conflicts relating to the Subscription Agreement will likely be heard in Delaware courts and will be governed by under Delaware law.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under these Agreements. Investors in this offering will be bound by the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement, both of which include a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim, other than claims arising under federal securities laws, that they may have against the company arising out of or relating to these agreement. By signing these agreements, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.

 

If you bring a claim against the company in connection with matters arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, other than claims under the federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against the company. If a lawsuit is brought against the company under one of those agreements, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.

 

In addition, when the Series Interests are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations, and restrictions applicable to the Series Interests or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the Series Interests, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the Series Interests, including the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement.

 

The company’s Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement each include a forum selection provision, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action against our company.

 

The Operating Agreement of Here Collection includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with the Operating Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, other than matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. Our Subscription Agreement for each manner of investing and class of security includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding arising from the Subscription Agreement, other than matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in a state of federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. These forum selection provisions may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

 

Risks Related to Covid-19

 

The company’s results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread to many countries, including the United States, and was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified, and the U.S., Europe, and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The full impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. Reduced demand for travel, whether as a result of regulatory restrictions or the fear of risks that travel may cause , may adversely impact the company’s and each Series’s revenue and financial condition. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could also negatively impact the the company’s and each Series’s revenue and financial condition, as well as the value of the Series Interests and investor demand for the Series Interests generally.

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase the company’s cost of capital and adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets in the future. The continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect Here’s business, results of operations, or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects the company’s financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on travel, general commercial activity and the world economy, and the company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect the company’s business. The company’s business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could adversely affect the company’s and each Series’s business and financial condition. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities would further negatively impact the company’s and each Series’s business and could also disrupt the company’s operations if employees, who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work.

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control, or earnings of the units the investor owns.

14

 

 

Once the minimum offering amount is reached, the company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their Series Interests on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds by check, wire transfer, or ACH transfer to the an account maintained by the Escrow Agent until the company has accepted the investor’s subscription. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available by the Escrow Agent to the company for its use. The company has the right to refuse to sell the Series Interests to any prospective investor or for any reason in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, if such prospective investor does not promptly supply all information requested by the company in connection with such prospective investor subscription. In addition, in the company’s sole discretion, it may establish a limit on the purchase of Series Interests by particular prospective investors.

 

Escrow Agent 

 

The company has entered into an Escrow Agreement with Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”). Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering. All subscribers will be instructed by the company or its agents to transfer funds by check, wire transfer or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. The company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving Series Interests; escrowed funds may be returned.

Forum Selection Provision

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the company based on the Agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Agreement, excluding any claims under federal securities laws. Although the company believes the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting the company’s litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to various forums so they may continue to focus on operations of the company.

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the Agreement, excluding any claim under federal securities laws. By signing the Subscription Agreement, an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If the company opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Here Collection was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 15, 2021. Here Collection is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific vacation rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

The company intends to establish separate Series for the holding of vacation rental properties to be acquired by the company. Notably, the debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series of the company will be enforceable against the assets of the applicable Series only, and not against the assets of the company. In addition, Here Collection will manage all Underlying Assets related to the various Series including the sales of property, property vacation bookings, maintenance and insurance.

 

Here Collection is a wholly owned subsidiary of Here. As discussed in further in the Operating Agreement of Here Collection, Here is the Managing Member of Here Collection. Here was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 22, 2021. Here is a real estate investment platform that allows individual investors to have direct access to quality vacation rental estate investment opportunities and invest in individual vacation rental properties.

 

Intended Business Process

 

Generally, the company and Here intends to arrange for the purchase of a specific residential property either directly by the Series or by Here or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, as described below:

 

If the Here or one of its subsidiaries purchased the property directly, then, after the relevant Series has obtained sufficient financing, it would sell the property to that Series for an amount equal to the original purchase price (including closing costs) plus holding costs, renovation costs and furnishing expenses incurred by Here prior to the sale to the Series as well as the applicable sourcing fee specified in the Series Designation for the relevant Series.

 

In cases where Here identifies and intends to have the Series purchase that property directly from a third party Seller, it would include a financing condition in the purchase contract for the property. If the Series fails to raise sufficient funding in the offering, the company would terminate the purchase contract without purchasing the property.

 

The company generally expects to set a minimum offering amount for each Series such that the net proceeds would be sufficient to finance the purchase of the Underlying Assets.

 

Property Overview

 

On August 1, 2021, Here Collection established Series #1 for the purpose of acquiring the property at 1989 Loraine Rd., Largo, FL 33774 (“Largo Property”) from Here Acquisitions, a subsidiary of Here, the company’s Managing Member.

Market Outlook

 

Short-term Rental Market

 

General

 

Following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for short-term rentals declined significantly initially, but was followed by a partial recovery in 2020 and a marked shift toward small cities/rural markets and destination/resort locations (mountain/lake and coastal) and away from large city/urban markets.

 

In 2020, short-term rental demand contracted by 16.1% for the year, a significant portion of which was related to private and shared rooms or 1- or 2-bedroom apartments listed on Airbnb and primarily located in large metropolitan areas. In the first quarter of 2021, the United States hit a new bookings record each month leading up to April 2021 when demand (nights) surpassed 2019 levels for the first time since February 2020. Looking at changes in occupancy rates in April 2019 versus April 2021, the US short-term rental market shows the following:

 

67% increase in small cities/rural markets

 

25% increase in destination/resort locations (mountain/lake and coastal)

 

8% increase mid-size cities

 

13% decline in suburban markets

 

41% decline in the 50 largest U.S. cities based on population

Source: Outlook Report published by AirDNA, an intelligence platform for short-term rental hosts and investors.

 

Trends in the supply of short-term also indicate this movement towards small cities and rural areas and away from urban areas. Historically, according to the AirDNA Outlook Report, owners add units during high-demand periods and remove them when demand dissipates; and this trend generally held over the past year, with 40% fewer available nights in urban areas compared to 25% more nights available in small city/rural locations. Destination/resort areas have somewhat bucked this trend, per the Report, with destination markets near major cities seeing increased demand for single-family housing but many owners removing properties, preferring to use second homes themselves.

 

AirDNA projects that, with demand having shifted to larger homes in destination markets, with higher average daily rates in 2020/21:

 

High levels of demand and a delayed expansion of available supply of new short-term rental units will mean at least two years of elevated occupancy levels for U.S. properties

 

This same factor, but now in reverse, will cause average daily rates to decline in 2022 as demand returns to the cities and smaller properties, with 2022 average rates being 7.5% higher than in 2019

 

Total revenues will increase by 42% over the four-year period from 2019 through 2022, despite a decline in revenue per unit (RevPAR) in 2022.

Series #1 – Largo Property

 

Our initial property is located in Largo, FL and according to AirDNA, as of December 6, 2021, the Largo vacation rental market shows:

 

primarily entire home rentals with an average of 2.5 bedrooms and accommodating an average of 6.4 guests

 

strong rental demand (83 points out of 100)

 

a median occupancy rate of 77% over the past 12 months

 

an average rating on airBNB of 4.79 (out of 5)

 

a 6% quarterly growth on average in the number of active rentals since Q3 2018)

 

Real Estate Market

 

According to the National Association of Realtors®’ recent research of December 2020, nationwide existing-home sales median price went up 14.9% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the total number of home sales dropped 1.5%, and the average days on market rose slightly from 17 days to 22 days.

 

Sales of new single-family houses in August 2021 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 740,000, according to estimates released jointly today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is 24.3 percent below the August 2020 estimate of 977,000. The median sales price of new houses sold in August 2021 was $390,900. The seasonally-adjusted estimate of new houses for sale at the end of August 2021 was 378,000. This represents a supply of 6.1 months at the current sales rate.

 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 11.0% of the housing units in the United States in the second quarter of 2021 were vacant. Purchasing a home is often one of the largest investments that individuals make. Home ownership accounts for a significant portion of households’ net worth in the United States. Owner-occupied housing units made up about 58.2% of total households, while renter-occupied units made up around 30.8% of the inventory in the second quarter of 2021.

 

CBRE, the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, forecasts a return to pre-COVID vacancy levels and a 6% increase in net effective rents in 2021, with a full market recovery occurring in early 2022. The economic rebound will lead to rising multi-family demand, largely from “unbundling”—certain renters moving out of their parents’ homes or those of friends as job opportunities provide more financial flexibility to live independently.

 

Looking at the professional publication “Emerging Trends in Real Estate® 2021”, undertaken jointly by PwC and the Urban Land Institute, the marketplace will continue to see home price and sales growth in 2021 even though U.S. gross domestic product is down as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. At the same time, new constructions are also projected to develop at a smooth pace.

 

Marketing/Distribution Channels

 

We market our properties primarily through the following vacation rental platforms:

 

AirBNB

Vrbo

Expedia (which integrates Vrbo listing)

 

Each of these platforms enables travelers to search for available lodgings in a particular city or geographic area for the duration of their intended stay. The platforms facilitate travelers bookings by reserving the days booked at a particular property, accepting traveler payments, including security deposits, remitting payments to us and refunding, as needed, security deposits and payments related to cancellations.

 

23

 

 

We pay these platforms the following fees in connection each property that we list on the site:

 

Platform 

Service Fee

(% of total booking amount)

  Other Fees
AirBNB
  3% of total booking amount  n/a
VRBO (including Expedia)  5% of total booking amount  3% credit card processing fee

 

Competition

 

The company competes with many others engaged in real estate in general and vacation rental operating activities in particular, including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds. In particular, the company intends to list its vacation rental properties through established vacation rental booking platforms, such as AirBNB and Vrbo, and the company’s properties will compete will all other properties listed in those sites in the vicinity of the company’s property, as well as other traditional accommodations such as hotels which may have built-in client bases and significantly greater resources and the ability to withstand economic downturns or off-peak vacancies. This market is competitive and rapidly changing. Significant increases in the number of listings for short-term vacation rentals in the geographic areas where the company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand for short-term rentals, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact to value of the Underlying Asset. The company expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to generate sufficient rental income from its vacation properties or acquire additional properties on terms that investors find to be reasonable.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The company intends to focus on acquiring properties located in the United States, that are expected to include:

 

Single family homes,

 

Condos and

 

Small multi-family properties.

 

The company may borrow funds to purchase its properties and, if it does, would expect to have a 30-90% loan to value ratio.

 

The company chooses properties based on large-scale historical and marketing data and rich real-estate experiences from our team’s real-estate experts. Some factors we look to include:

 

Properties located in vacation destinations

 

Above local average market cap rate for all types of real estate properties, such as multi-families, single-families, commercial buildings, etc.

 

Located in a geographic region where there is room for appreciation.

 

Well-maintained structures to avoid future risks.

 

Well-organized existing lease agreements to minimize legal risks.

 

24

 

 

As part of our plan of operations, we intend to execute the following milestones over the course of the next 12 months:

 

Build, develop and grow an efficient property management relationships across multiple locations/ states.

 

Close 10 additional Underlying Assets.

 

Reach 20,000 users/investors.

 

Employees

 

Here Collection currently has 0 full-time employees and 0 part-time employees.

 

Here, as the Managing Member of the company and the Managing Member of the Property Manager and of each of the Series, currently has 4 full-time employees, including its CEO Corey Walters, all of whom work remotely.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Here has applied for the trademark protection for “Here.”

 

Regulation

 

As an owner/operator of vacation rental properties, we are subject to federal, state and local regulations governing short-term rental operations, most notably tax regulations and licensing requirements that differ from state to state and city to city. For example, Florida’s 6.0% state sales tax, plus any applicable discretionary sales surtax, applies to rental charges paid to occupy living quarters or sleeping or housekeeping accommodations for rental periods of six months or less. Such accommodations include hotel and motel rooms, condominium units, timeshare resort units, single-family homes, apartments or units in multiple unit structures, mobile homes, beach or vacation houses, campground sites, and trailer or RV parks. An operator must obtain a certificate of registration from Florida’s department of revenue for each place of business before collecting any taxes. Individual Florida counties may impose a local tax on transient rental accommodations, such as the tourist development tax, convention development tax, tourist impact tax, or municipal resort tax. Currently our properties are subject to Florida state taxes but not any additional county taxes. We are also not currently subject to any licensing requirements.

 

We are also subject to federal state and local laws that affect property ownership generally, including environmental laws, certificates of occupancy limitations, and laws related to accommodations for persons with disabilities. See the discussion in “Risk Factors” regarding some of these regulations and the risks they pose for our business.

 

The company believes it is in compliance with all necessary federal, state, and local regulations involved in its business.

 

Litigation

 

The company is not a party to any current litigation.

 

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

 

Here Collection currently does not own or lease any property. Here, the company’s Managing Member leases its corporate headquarters in Miami under a one-year lease for monthly rent of $2,520.00.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of the financial statements and financial condition of Here Collection (formerly Here 001 LLC) and results of its operations together with its financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting the company’s current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

 

Overview

 

Arrive Collection LLC was formed on June 15, 2021 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware. On July 6, 2021, an amendment to the Certificate of Formation was filed to change the name of the entity to Here 001 LLC and, on January 11, 2022, a second amendment to the Certificate of Formation was filed to change the name of the entity to Here Collection LLC. Here Collection is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific vacation rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

Here is the company’s Managing Member. As the company’s Managing Member, it will manage the company’s day-to-day operations. Here is also the Managing Member of each Series and Here PM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Here, is the Property Manager of each Series and will manage each property that a Series acquires.

 

Going Concern

 

The company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. The company is newly formed and has not generated revenue from operations. The company will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. These matters raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the next 12 months, the company intends to fund operations through member advances and debt and/or equity financing. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the company.  If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development and operations, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The company’s accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

26

 

 

Results of Operations

 

The company was formed on June 15, 2021 and has had no significant operations and no revenues since that date. During the period ended June 15, 2021, the company’s member advanced the company $230 to pay for initial formation costs, resulting in total expenses of $230 and a net loss of $230.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Due to its recent formation, the company has no cash, assets or liabilities reflected on its balance sheet. The company’s capital resources would be derived from operating cash flow, once it has raise sufficient funds through the offering of Series Interests to acquire vacation rental properties. The Series will be dependent on the net proceeds from this offering for funding to acquire these properties For information regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from this offering, see “Use of Proceeds.”

 

Trend Information

 

The company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue from intended operations.  The company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide 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: recession, downturn or otherwise; government policies surrounding tenant rights; local ordinances where properties reside as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; travel restrictions; changes in the real estate market; and interest-rate fluctuations. 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.

 

On January 20, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economic and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. Measures taken by various governments to contain the virus have affected economic activity. Due to our recent formation, the impact on our business and results has not been significant. We will continue to follow the various government policies and advice, and, in parallel, we will do our utmost to continue our operations in the best and safest way possible without jeopardizing the health or our stakeholders.

 

Long-term decreased demand in the travel and rental housing industry would adversely affect our business model. Demand for rental and vacation housing is tied to the broader economy and factors outside the Company’s control. Should factors such as COVID-19 pandemic result in continued loss of general economic activity, we would experience a slower growth rate in demand for our products and services.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

 

Existing Transactions

 

Property Management Agreement

 

Series #1 has entered into an Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement with Here PM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Here. See “The Company’s Business – Property Management Agreement with Here PM” for a description of this agreement.

 

Real Estate Purchase

 

Here Collection has entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with Here Acquisitions (formerly Arrive 1 LLC) a wholly owned subsidiary of Here, dated November 29, 2021. The Agreement provides for Here Collection’s purchase of the Largo property, plus all furniture, fixtures and linens, at a purchase price of $344,716 plus closing costs; and is subject to an inspection condition.

 

Advances

 

During the period ended June 15, 2021, the company’s member advanced the company $230 to pay for initial formation costs.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

The company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with Here, the company’s Managing Member, and its affiliates. These conflicts are discussed below.

  

General

 

The officer and director of Here is also the key professional of Here Collection and has legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to the company. In addition, in the future, any officers or directors of Here and other affiliates of Here may organize other real estate-related entities.

 

Allocation of Acquisition Opportunities

 

From time to time, Here may create new entities that will acquire real estate assets and make offers of securities to accredited investors, foreign investors and under Regulation D or Regulation A or otherwise. Here will, in its sole discretion determine which entity will be responsible for acquiring a specific asset.

  

Allocation of the Company’s Affiliates’ Time

 

The company relies on Here’s real estate professionals and other staff, who act on behalf of Here and the company for the day-to-day operation of their respective businesses. Mr. Walters is the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and sole director of Here, the Managing Member of the company, as well as the Manager of Here PM and the other subsidiaries of Here. As a result of his interests in other Here entities, his obligations to other investors and the fact that he engages in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of himself and others, Mr. Walters will face conflicts of interest in allocating his time among the company, Here, other related entities and other business activities in which he is involved. However, the company believes that Here and its affiliates have sufficient real estate professionals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the Here entities for which they work.

cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;
   
adversely affect the company or such Series, or subject the company, the Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause the company to be disqualified as a limited liability company or subject the company, any Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective affiliates to any tax to which it would not otherwise be subject;
   
require registration of the company, any Series or any Series Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or
   
violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Member.

 

Redemption

 

In order to provide an opportunity to investors who need to establish liquidity after acquiring Series Interests, the company is providing a limited redemption right to investors. Unless stated otherwise in the respective Series Designation and Subject to Section 7.5 of the Operating Agreement, a Member associated with one or more Series may request the redemption of his, her, or its Series Interests as follows:

 

For redemption requests made in the first twelve (12) months following the acquisition of Series Interests in an offering, the redemption price will be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the purchase price of the Series Interests being redeemed reduced by (i) the aggregate sum of distributions already paid to the Member with respect to such Series Interests, rounded down to the nearest cent, and (ii) the aggregate sum of distributions, if any, that are declared but unpaid with respect to such Series Interests subject to the redemption request.
   
For redemption requests made in the second twelve (12) months following the acquisition of Series Interests in an offering, the redemption price will be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price of the Series Interests being redeemed, which will not be reduced by the aggregate sum of distributions, if any, that have been paid with respect to such Series Interests prior to the date of the redemption request or have been declared by the Managing Member but are unpaid with record dates during the period between the redemption request date and the redemption date.
   
For redemption requests made thereafter, the redemption price will be equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price of the Series Interests being redeemed and will similarly not be reduced by paid or declare but unpaid distributions.

 

32

 

 

The Managing Member may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without prior notice, including to protect the Series’ operations and non-redeemed Members, to prevent an undue burden on the Series’ liquidity, to maintain the Company’s tax status, to comply with federal securities laws and regulations, or for any other reason.

 

Voting Rights

 

Investors have limited voting rights, and substantial powers are delegated to our Managing Member under Section 5.1 of the company’s Operating Agreement for which a vote of the Series Interest holders is not required. 

 

When submitting a matter of vote, a holder of a Series Interest, is entitled to one vote per Series Interest on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of members generally. No separate vote or consent of the holders of Series Interests of a specific Series shall be required for the approval of any matter, except for matters specified in the Series Designation of such Series.

 

For each existing Series, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Series Interests of the Series then outstanding shall be required for: (a) any amendment to the Operating Agreement (including the Series Designation) that would adversely change the rights of such Series Interests; (b) mergers, consolidations or conversions of such Series or the company; and (c) all such other matters as the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, determines shall require the approval of the holders of the outstanding Series Interests of such Series voting as a separate class.

 

The affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the total votes that may be cast by all outstanding Series Interests, voting together as a class, may elect to remove the Managing Member at any time if the Managing Member is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a Series or the company and which has a material adverse effect the company. If the Managing Member is so removed, the members, by a plurality vote, may appoint a replacement managing member or approve the liquidation and termination of the company and each Series in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Operating Agreement. In the event of the resignation of the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall nominate a successor Managing Member and the vote of a majority of the outstanding Series Interests shall be required to elect such successor Managing Member. The Managing Member shall continue to serve as the Managing Member of the company until such date as a successor Managing Member is so elected.

 

Confidential Information

 

The purpose of Article XIV of the Operating Agreement is to protect confidential information of the company that would be available to Series Interest holders but not subject to disclosure under federal securities laws or otherwise publicly available. Such information would include personal information of other investors held by the company, personal information provided in connection with bookings, and other information in the books and records of the company that is not public and to which a Series Interest holder requests and receives access. Note, this confidentiality obligation does not extend to disclosures which are required by law or to which the Managing Member consents. 

 

Reports to Members

 

The Managing Member must keep appropriate books and records with respect to the business of the company and each Series business.  The books of the company shall be maintained, for tax and financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, unless otherwise required by applicable law or other regulatory disclosure requirement.  For financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, the fiscal year and the tax year are the calendar year, unless otherwise determined by our Managing Member in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.

 

33

 

 

Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Series Designation, within 120 calendar days after the end of the fiscal year and 90 calendar days after the end of the semi-annual reporting date, the Managing Member must use its commercially reasonable efforts to circulate to each Member electronically by e-mail or made available via an online platform:

 

a financial statement of each Series prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which includes a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and a cash flow statement; and

 

confirmation of the number of Series Interests in each Series outstanding as of the end of the most recent fiscal year;

 

provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the company or any Series is required to disclose financial information pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including without limitations periodic reports under the Exchange Act or under Rule 257 under Regulation A of the Securities Act), then compliance with such provisions shall be deemed compliance with the above requirements and no further or earlier financial reports shall be required to be provided to the Economic Members of the applicable Series with such reporting requirement.

 

Our Managing Member intends to file with the Commission periodic reports as required by applicable securities laws.

 

Under the Securities Act, the company must update this Offering Circular upon the occurrence of certain events, such as asset acquisitions. The company will file updated offering circulars and offering circular supplements with the Commission. The company is also subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to Tier 2 companies whose securities are qualified pursuant to Regulation A, and accordingly, the company will file annual reports, semiannual reports and other information with the Commission. In addition, the company plans to provide Series Interest holders with periodic updates, including offering circulars, offering circular supplements, pricing supplements, information statements and other information.

 

The company will provide such documents and periodic updates electronically by email or made available through the company’s platform.

 

Distribution Upon Liquidation of a Series

 

Subject to the terms of Article XI of the Operating Agreement and any specific Series Designation, any amounts available for distribution following the liquidation of a Series, net of any fees, costs and liabilities (as determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion), will be applied and distributed as follows:

 

First, 100% to the members on a pro rata basis (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include the Managing Member and its Affiliates if they hold Series Interests) until the members have received back 100% of their capital contribution; and
   
Second, 20% to the Managing Member and 80% to the members on a pro rata basis (including Managing Member and its Affiliates if they hold Series Interests).

 

Other Rights

 

Holders of Series Interests shall have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund, appraisal rights, no preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the company and no preferential rights to distributions of Series Interests. 

 

Forum Selection Provisions 

 

The company’s Operating Agreement includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with the Operating Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, excluding matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of California.

 

This forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

ONGOING REPORTING AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR

 

The company will be required to make annual and semi-annual filings with the SEC. The company will make annual filings on Form 1-K, which will be due by the end of April each year and will include audited financial statements for the previous fiscal year. The company will make semi-annual filings on Form 1-SA, which will be due by September 28 each year, which will include unaudited financial statements for the six months to June 30. The company will also file a Form 1-U to announce important events such as the loss of a senior officer, a change in auditors, or certain types of capital-raising. The company will be required to keep making these reports unless it files a Form 1-Z to exit the reporting system, which it will only be able to do if it has less than 300 unitholders of record and have filed at least one Form 1-K.

 

At least every 12 months, the company will file a post-qualification amendment to the offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, to include the company’s recent financial statements.

 

The company may supplement the information in this Offering Circular by filing a Supplement with the SEC.

 

All these filings will be available on the SEC’s EDGAR filing system. You should read all the available information before investing.

 

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

 

If the company becomes a public reporting company in the future, it will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which the company refers to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as the company remains an “emerging growth company,” the company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 

  not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

  taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

 

  being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the company’s periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

  being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and unit holder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

If the company becomes a public reporting company in the future, the company expects to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. The company would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of its Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, the company would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.

 

If the company does not become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for any reason, the company will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

 

In either case, the company will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” and its unitholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the managing member of Here 001 LLC

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Here 001 LLC (the “Company”) as of June 15, 2021, the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period June 15, 2021 (Inception) through June 15, 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 15, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period June 15, 2021 (Inception) through June 15, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

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’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

HERE 001 LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Arrive Collection LLC was formed on June 15, 2021 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware. On July 6, 2021, an amendment to the Certificate of Formation was filed to change the name of the entity to Here 001 LLC. The financial statements of Here 001 LLC (which may be referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s headquarters are located in Miami, Florida.

 

Here 001 LLC is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific vacation rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the Company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is newly formed and has not generated revenue from operations. The Company will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the next 12 months, the Company intends to fund operations through member advances and debt and/or equity financing. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company.  If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development and operations, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1  - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  Level 2  - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

  Level 3  - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

  

Fair-value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 15, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to their short-term nature.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue from intended operations.  The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide 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: recession, downturn or otherwise; government policies surrounding tenant rights; local ordinances where properties reside as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; travel restrictions; changes in the real estate market; and interest-rate fluctuations. 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.

 

On January 20, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economic and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. Measures taken by various governments to contain the virus have affected economic activity. Due to the Company’s recent formation, the impact on our business and results has not been significant. We will continue to follow the various government policies and advice, and, in parallel, we will do our utmost to continue our operations in the best and safest way possible without jeopardizing the health or our stakeholders.

 

Long-term decreased demand in the travel and rental housing industry would adversely affect our business model. Demand for rental and vacation housing is tied to the broader economy and factors outside the Company’s control. Should factors such as COVID-19 pandemic result in continued loss of general economic activity, we would experience a slower growth rate in demand for our products and services.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company will determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identification of a contract with a customer;

 

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

Determination of the transaction price;

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. No revenue has been generated to date.

HERE 001 LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is taxed as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the shareholders are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of the Company’s taxable income. The Company will pay state income taxes at reduced rates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be credit worthy.  Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a 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. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. The Company believes those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

 

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is not currently involved with and does not know of any pending or threatening litigation against the Company.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the period ended June 15, 2021, the Company’s member advanced $230 to pay for initial formation costs. These advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.

 

NOTE 5 – MEMBER’S DEFICIT

 

The Company accounts for membership units as a percentage. As of June 15, 2021, the Company only has one member, its Managing Member. Allocation of income, losses, and voting is based on the percentages held by holder.

 

The Managing Member of the Company may, at any time and from time to time cause the Company to establish in writing (each, a “Series Designation”) one or more series as such term is used under Section 18-215 of the Delaware Act (each a “Series”). The Series Designation shall relate solely to the Series established thereby and shall not be construed: (i) to affect the terms and conditions of any other Series, or (ii) to designate, fix or determine the rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Shares associated with any other Series, or the Members associated therewith. The terms and conditions for each Series shall be as set forth in the operating agreement and the Series Designation, as applicable, for the Series. There have been no Series Designations as of June 15, 2021.

 

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On August 1, 2021, the Company established Series #1 for the purpose of acquiring the property at 1989 Loraine Rd., Largo, FL 33774 (the “Largo Property”) from Here Acquisitions, a related party. Concurrently, the Company has entered into a Property Management Agreement with Here PM, another related party, to manage the property under Series #1. Under the agreement, the Company will pay Here PM a monthly fee equal to 25% of the gross receipts for the rental of the property. On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a real estate purchase agreement with Here Acquisitions LLC (formerly Arrive 1 LLC), a related party. The Agreement provides for the Company’s purchase of the Largo property, plus all furniture, fixtures and linens, at a purchase price of $344,716 plus closing costs; and is subject to an inspection condition.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after June 15, 2021 through December 9, 2021, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There have been no other events or transactions during this time which require adjustment or disclosure in these financial statements.
