The minimum investment for any investor is $1,000. There is no minimum offering amount and no provision to return or escrow investor funds if any minimum number of Bonds is not sold.

 

We are offering “1yr Bonds” and “3yr Bonds.” 1yr Bonds will accrue interest at 8% per annum and 3yr Bonds will accrue interest at 10% per annum. Upon subscribing for Bonds, Investors may elect to be paid interest monthly or have interest compound monthly until paid at maturity. See “Securities being Offered” for more information on the Bonds being sold pursuant to this offering.

  

We have not engaged a broker-dealer for this offering. We reserve the right to engage the services of a registered broker-dealer who will offer, sell and process the subscriptions for the Bonds, although we do not presently expect to engage such selling agent. If any broker-dealer or other agent/person is engaged to sell our Bonds, we will file a post-qualification amendment to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part disclosing the names and compensation arrangements prior to any sales by such persons. See “Plan of Distribution” in this offering circular.

 

The sale of Bonds will commence once this offering is qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and on a continuous basis thereafter. We may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to us. After the initial closing of this offering, we expect to hold closings on at least a monthly basis. The termination of the offering will occur on the earlier of (i) the date that subscriptions for the Bonds offered hereby equal $75,000,000 or (ii) three years from the date this offering circular is qualified by the SEC.

 

No public market has developed nor is expected to develop for Bonds, and we do not intend to list Bonds on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotational system.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that you could lose all of your investment. Please read the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this offering circular about the risks you should consider before investing.

 




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

Some statements in this offering circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for more information regarding forward-looking statements.

 

Risks Related to our Company

 

We are an early-stage startup with limited operating history, and we may never become profitable.

 

We do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to obtain or maintain profitability, we may not be able to attract investment, compete, or maintain operations or repay the Bonds or the interest due thereon.

 

Our management has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report with respect to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

We are an early-stage startup with limited operating history, and we may never become profitable. Our management has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, that states that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain necessary financing to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will achieve success in selling the Bonds.

 

We are dependent on the funds to be raised in this offering in order to be able to implement our business plan.

 

We have not generated any revenues and we are dependent on the proceeds from this offering to provide funds to implement our business model. Given the uncertainty of the amount of Bonds that we will sell makes it difficult to predict our planned operations. If we do not raise sufficient funds in this offering we will not be able to implement our business plan, or may have to cease operations altogether.

We have limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

 

We have limited operating history in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Assessing our business and future prospects is challenging in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

 

 

Acquire assets;

 

 

 

 

Sell our assets at a profit;

  

 

Favorably compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the business of building homes or investing in digital assets;

 

 

 

 

Successfully navigate economic conditions and fluctuations in the market; and

 

 

 

 

Effectively manage the growth of our business.

 

We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could harm our business and cause our operating results to suffer.

 

Competition for employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the employees whom we need to support our business.

 

Competition for personnel is extremely intense, and we or our Manager could face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified individuals in many areas of our business. We or our Manager may not be able to hire and retain such personnel. Many of the companies with which we or our Manager will compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we have and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, we or our Manager may invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them.

 

We operate in a competitive market which may intensify, and competition may limit our ability to implement our business model and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We operate in a competitive market which may intensify, and competition may limit our ability to implement our business model and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our competitors may be able to have a lower cost for their services which would lead to borrowers choosing such other competitors over the Company. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of loans and investments, offer more attractive pricing or other terms and establish more relationships than us.

 

The amount of repayments to Bond holders at a given time may exceed the amount of funds we have available to make such payments which may result in a delay in repayment or loss of investment to the Bond holders.

 

We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to honor repayment of Bonds. In the event there is more requirement for repayment than our cash and cash equivalents on hand available, we may be required to (i) liquidate some of investments, (ii) seek commercial banks and non-bank lending sources, such as insurance companies, private equity funds and private lending organizations, for the provision of credit facilities, including, but not limited to, lines of credit, pursuant to which funds would be advanced to us, or (iii) seek capital contributions from our parent company or Manager. If the above sources of funds to honor repayments cannot be realized within the time frame of the repayment requirements, Bond holders might have to wait for repayment until the above sources are realized. If the above sources do not generate enough funds to repayment, there is a risk that the Bond holders may lose some or all of their investment in the Bonds.


5



Our risk management efforts may not be effective.

 

We could incur substantial losses, and our business operations could be disrupted if we are unable to effectively identify, manage, monitor, and mitigate financial risks as well as operational risks related to our business, assets, and liabilities. Our risk management policies, procedures, and techniques may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks we are exposed to, mitigate the risks that we have identified, or identify concentrations of risk or additional risks to which we may become subject in the future.

   

Our ability to protect the confidential information of our investors may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions.

 

We process certain sensitive data from our investors. While we have taken steps to protect confidential information that we receive or have access to, our security measures could be breached. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our systems could cause confidential borrower and investor information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our software are exposed and exploited, our relationships with investors could be severely damaged, and we could incur significant liability.

 

Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, federal regulators and many federal and state laws and regulations require companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause borrowers and investors to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation, we could lose borrowers and investors and our business and operations could be adversely affected.

 

Any significant disruption in service on our platform or in our computer systems, including events beyond our control, could result in a loss of investors. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract new and retain existing investors.

 

Any interruptions or delays in our service, whether as a result of third-party error, our error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm our relationships with our investors and our reputation. Additionally, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage.

 

We contract with third parties to provide services related to our online subscription platform. We will be dependent on them to implement safety protocols to protect against the above risks.

 

We are reliant on the efforts of Joseph Robert.

 

We rely on our management team and need additional key personnel to grow our business, and the loss of key employees or inability to hire key personnel could harm our business. We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our Manager’s manager, Joseph Robert, whose expertise could not be easily replaced if we were to lose his services.

 

Compliance with Regulation A and reporting to the SEC could be costly.

 

Compliance with Regulation A could be costly and requires legal and accounting expertise. After qualifying this Form 1-A, we will be required to file an annual report on Form 1-K, a semiannual report on Form 1-SA, and current reports on Form 1-U.


6



 

Our legal and financial staff may need to be increased in order to comply with Regulation A. Compliance with Regulation A will also require greater expenditures on outside counsel, outside auditors, and financial printers in order to remain in compliance. Failure to remain in compliance with Regulation A may subject us to sanctions, penalties, and reputational damage and would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. Therefore, we 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 our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

 

We 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 semiannual 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 semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year. Therefore, our investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from exchange traded public companies.

 

The profitability of the properties is uncertain.

 

We intend to invest in properties selectively. Investment in real estate entails risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. In undertaking these investments, we will incur certain risks, including the expenditure of funds on, and the devotion of management’s time to, transactions that may not come to fruition. Additional risks inherent in real estate investments include risks that the properties will not achieve anticipated sales price and that estimated operating expenses and costs of construction may prove inaccurate.

 

Our properties will not be diversified.

 

Our properties will not be diversified by type and/or geographic location. Our performance is therefore linked to economic conditions affecting single family homes and the regions in which we will invest in properties and in the market for real estate properties generally. Such conditions could result in a reduction of our income.

  

We may not have control over costs arising from construction of properties.

 

We will retain independent general contractors to build our properties and will be subject to risks in connection with a contractor’s ability to control construction costs, the timing of completion of construction, and a contractor’s ability to build in conformity with plans and specification.

 

Inventory or available properties might not be sufficient to realize our investment goals.

 

We may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our investment criteria, or consummating acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failures in identifying or consummating acquisitions or investments would impair the pursuit of our business plan. Moreover, our investment strategy could involve significant risks that could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our operating results, including the following: increases in asking prices by acquisition candidates to levels beyond our financial capability or to levels that would not result in the returns required by our investment criteria; diversion of management’s attention to expansion efforts; unanticipated costs and contingent or undisclosed liabilities associated with investments; failure of the assets we invest in to achieve expected results; and difficulties entering markets in which we have no or limited experience.


7



The consideration paid for our investments may exceed fair market value, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

The consideration that we pay will be based upon numerous factors, and the assets may be purchased in a negotiated transaction rather than through a competitive bidding process. We cannot assure anyone that the purchase price that we pay for an asset, or its appraised value will be a fair price, that we will be able to generate an acceptable return on such property.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse conditions.

 

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties or investments in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions may be limited. These risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations, or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by sale, other disposition, or refinance at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. An exit event is not guaranteed and is subject to our Manager’s discretion.

  

We may experience general risks of real estate investing.

 

Factors which could affect the Company’s ownership of real property might include, but are not limited to any or all of the following: changing environmental regulations, adverse use of adjacent or neighboring real estate, changes in the demand for or supply of competing property, local economic factors which could result in the reduction of the fair market value of a property, uninsured losses, significant unforeseen changes in general or local economic conditions, inability of the Company to obtain any required permits or entitlements for a reasonable cost or on reasonable conditions or within a reasonable time frame or at all, inability of the Company to obtain the services of appropriate consultants at the proposed cost, changes in legal requirements for any needed permits or entitlements, problems caused by the presence of environmental hazards on a property, changes in federal or state regulations applicable to real property, failure of a lender to approve a loan on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, lack of adequate availability of liability insurance or all-risk or other types of required insurance at a commercially-reasonable price, shortages or reductions in available energy, acts of God or other calamities, inflation or deflation, inability to control future operating costs, inability to attract tenants, vandalism, rent strikes, collection difficulties, uncertainty of cash flow, the availability and costs of borrowed funds, the general level of real estate values, competition from other properties, residential patterns and uses, general economic conditions (national, regional, and local), the general suitability of a property to its market area, governmental rules and fiscal policies, and other factors beyond the control of the Company. Furthermore, there could be a loss of liquidity in the capital markets such that a refinance or sale of a property may be hindered.

 

We may experience uninsured or underinsured losses.

 

Our properties may be located throughout the United States. Depending on the location of a specific property, that geographic area may be at risk for damage to property due to certain weather-related and environmental events, including hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, wildfires, tornados, earthquakes, and flooding. To the extent possible, our Manager will attempt to acquire insurance against fire or environmental hazards. However, such insurance may not be available in all areas, nor are all hazards insurable as some may be deemed acts of God or be subject to other policy exclusions.

 

All decisions relating to the type, quality, and amount of insurance to be placed on each property are made exclusively by our Manager. Certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods) may be uninsurable, not fully insured or not economically insurable. Additionally, a property may now contain or come to contain mold, which may not be covered by insurance and has been linked to health issues. This may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full prevailing market value or prevailing replacement cost of each property. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it unfeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after the property has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds received might not be adequate to restore that property.


8



Recently, the cost of certain types of extraordinary insurance coverage for such things as hurricanes, floods and earthquake has risen substantially. These types of losses are not generally covered in a standard hazard and liability insurance policy. In certain locations, this type of insurance may be unavailable or cost prohibitive. The Company may proceed without insurance coverage for certain extraordinary risks if it cannot secure an appropriate policy or if our Manager believes that the cost of the policy is too high with respect to the risks to be insured.

 

Furthermore, an insurance company may deny coverage for certain claims, and/or determine that the value of the claim is less than the cost to restore a property, and a lawsuit could have to be initiated to force them to provide coverage, resulting in further losses in income to the Company. Additionally, a property may now contain or come to contain mold, which may not be covered by insurance and has been linked to health issues.

 

We may experience liability for environmental issues.

 

Under various federal, state and local environmental and public health laws, regulations and ordinances, the Company may be required, regardless of knowledge or responsibility, to investigate and remediate the effects of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases (including in some cases natural substances such as methane or radon gas) and may be held liable under these laws or common law to a governmental entity or to third-parties for property, personal injury or natural resources damages and for investigation and remediation costs incurred as a result of the real or suspected presence of these substances in soil or groundwater beneath a property. These damages and costs may be substantial and may exceed insurance coverage the Company has for such events.

 

Buildings and structures on a property may have contained hazardous or toxic substances or have released pollutants into the environment; or may have known or suspected asbestos-containing building materials, lead based paint, mold, or insect infestations (such as roaches or bed bugs), that the Company may be required to mitigate. Undetected or unmitigated conditions such as these may cause (or be suspected to cause) personal injury and/or property damage, which could subject the properties, our Manager, and/or the Company to litigation with and liability to third parties.

 

Our Manager will attempt to limit exposure to such conditions by conducting due diligence on a property, however, all or some of these conditions may not be discovered or occur until after that property has been acquired by the Company.

 

Federal, state, and local regulations may change.

 

There is a risk of a change in the current federal, state and local regulations as it may relate to the operations of a property in the area of fuel or energy requirements or regulations, construction and building code regulations, approved property use, zoning and environmental regulations, or property taxes, among other regulations.

 

Title insurance may not cover all title defects.

 

Our Manager intends to acquire title insurance on each property, but it is possible that uninsured title defects could arise in the future, which the Company may have to defend or otherwise resolve, the cost of which may impact the profitability of each property and/or the Company as a whole.

 

Due diligence may not uncover all material facts.

 

Our Manager will endeavor to obtain and verify material facts regarding the properties. It is possible, however, that our Manager will not discover certain material facts about a property, because information presented by the sellers may have been prepared in an incomplete or misleading fashion, and material facts related to such property may not yet have been discovered.


9



We might obtain lines of credit and other borrowings, which increases our risk of loss due to potential foreclosure.

 

We may obtain lines of credit and long-term financing that may be secured by our assets. As with any liability, there is a risk that we may be unable to repay our obligations from the cash flow of our assets. Therefore, when borrowing and securing such borrowing with our assets, we risk losing such assets in the event we are unable to repay such obligations or meet such demands.

 

Blockchain technology is a relatively new and untested technology. The risks associated with blockchain technology may not emerge until the technology is widely used.

 

A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that records transactions between two parties in a verifiable and permanent way using cryptography. Transactions on the blockchain are permanently recorded on the blockchain in collections of transactions called “blocks.” Blockchain networks are based upon software source code that establishes and governs their respective cryptographic systems for verifying transactions.

 

 

Blockchain is a nascent and rapidly changing technology that is novel and untested and may contain inherent flaws or limitations. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, theft, destruction or inaccessibility and there can be no assurances that the blockchain and the creation, transfer, or storage of the tokens will be uninterrupted or fully secure.

 

Technological developments may lead to technical or other flaws (including undiscovered flaws) in the underlying blockchain technology, including in the process by which transactions are recorded to a blockchain or the development of new or existing hardware or software tools or mechanisms, which could negatively impact the functionality of the blockchain systems, all of which could impact the participation of potential investors and negatively impacting potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

      

The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies and digital assets is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may adversely affect the Company’s business plan.

 

Regulation of digital assets, blockchain technologies, and token exchanges is being developed and likely to rapidly evolve. Regulations on token offerings vary significantly by type of token and among international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions and are subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future, adopt laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which may severely impact the development, growth, adoption, and utility of such tokens. Failure by the Company or certain users to comply with any laws, rules, and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines. This could adversely affect the Company’s business plan, which involves acquiring, holding, and selling digital assets.

 

As blockchain networks and blockchain assets have grown in popularity and in market size, federal and state agencies have begun to take interest in, and in some cases regulate, their use and operations.

 

In the case of virtual currencies, state regulators like the New York Department of Financial Services have created new regulatory frameworks and special licenses for virtual currency business activities in the State of New York. Others, as in Texas, have published guidance on how their existing regulatory regimes apply to virtual currencies. Some states, like New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Washington, have amended their state’s statutes to include virtual currencies into existing licensing regimes. Treatment of virtual currencies continues to evolve under federal law as well. The Department of the Treasury, the SEC, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), for example, have published guidance on the treatment of virtual currencies. The IRS released guidance treating virtual currency as property that is not currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although there is no indication yet whether other courts or federal or state regulators will follow this classification. Both federal and state agencies have instituted enforcement actions against those violating their interpretation of nine (9) existing laws. The regulation of non-currency use of Blockchain assets is also uncertain. The CFTC has publicly taken the position that certain Blockchain assets are commodities, and the SEC has issued a public report stating federal securities laws require treating some Blockchain related assets as securities. To the


10



extent that a domestic government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over a Blockchain network or asset, tokens may be adversely affected.

 

Recent disruptions in the cryptocurrency markets could negatively impact our reputation, invite increased regulation, and make it more difficult to raise capital needed to purchase digital assets.

 

Recent disruptions in the cryptocurrency markets have resulted in increased interest in governmental regulation of all forms of digital representations of assets. Increased regulation or decreased investment could hinder our ability to purchase digital assets or generate returns, and could negatively impact the potential liquidity and value of our digital assets.

 

Use of digital asset exchanges and custodians may subject us to risks.

 

Investors should be aware that while the Company may open accounts with different digital asset exchanges to try its best to reduce the risks of theft, loss, damage, destruction, malware, hackers or cyber-attacks, a lack of stability in the digital asset exchange market and the closure or temporary shutdown of a digital asset exchange due to fraud, business failure, hackers or malware, or government-mandated regulation could significantly hinder these efforts by the Company and may reduce confidence in the cryptocurrency market and result in greater volatility. These potential consequences will adversely affect the Company’s investments and consequently an investment in Bonds.

 

The digital asset exchanges on which digital assets trade are relatively new and largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to theft, fraud, and failure than established regulated exchanges for other products. In general, digital asset exchanges are currently start-up businesses with no institutional backing, limited operating history, and publicly available financial information.

 

Digital asset exchanges and custodians are targets for cybercrime, hackers, and malware. It is possible that while engaging in transactions with various digital asset exchanges located throughout the world, any such exchange may cease operations due to theft, fraud, security breach, liquidity issues, or government investigation. In addition, banks may refuse to process wire transfers to or from exchanges.

 

Risks Related to Being Deemed an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act

 

We intend to avoid being classified as an investment company.

 

Under the Investment Company Act, an “investment company” is defined as an issuer which is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, an “investment adviser” is defined, in relevant part, as any person who, for compensation, engages in the business of advising others, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the value of securities or as to the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities, or who, for compensation and as part of a regular business, issues or promulgates analyses or reports concerning securities.

 

We intend to operate in such manner as not to be classified as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as we intend to acquire mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate. In addition, our Manager is not an investment adviser registered with the SEC, will not be governed by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and will not be acting in such capacity with respect to the Company because the Company will not be investing in assets which fall within the definition of a security under U.S. federal securities laws. Our management and our investment practices and policies of ours are not supervised or regulated by any federal or state authority. As a result, investors will be exposed to certain risks that would not be present if we were subjected to a more restrictive regulatory situation.


11



We could be materially and adversely affected if we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

We do not believe that at any time we will be deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. However, if at any time we may be deemed an “investment company,” we intend to rely on the exception set forth in Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, which excludes from the definition of investment company “any person who is not engaged in the business of issuing redeemable securities, face-amount certificates of the installment type or periodic payment plan certificates, and who is primarily engaged in one or more of the following businesses… (C) purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate.” The SEC Staff generally requires that, for the exception provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) to be available, at least 55% of an entity’s assets be comprised of mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate, also known as “qualifying interests,” and at least another 25% of the entity’s assets must be comprised of additional qualifying interests or real estate-type interests (with no more than 20% of the entity’s assets comprised of miscellaneous assets). We intend to acquire assets with the proceeds of this offering in satisfaction of such SEC requirements to fall within the exception provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C), and do not intend to acquire any miscellaneous assets unrelated to real estate. Notwithstanding, the staff of the SEC could possibly disagree with any of our determinations. If the staff of the SEC were to disagree with our analysis under the Investment Company Act, we would need to adjust our investment strategy. Any such adjustment in our strategy could have a material adverse effect on us. If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to register as an investment company if we are unable to dispose of the disqualifying assets, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Registration under the Investment Company Act would require us to comply with a variety of substantive requirements that impose, among other things:

 

 

limitations on capital structure;

 

 

 

 

restrictions on specified investments;

 

 

 

 

restrictions on leverage or senior securities;

 

 

 

 

restrictions on unsecured borrowings;

 

 

 

 

prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and

 

 

 

 

compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly increase our operating expenses.

 

If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we could be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. Registration with the SEC as an investment company would be costly, would subject us to a host of complex regulations and would divert attention from the conduct of our business, which could materially and adversely affect us. In addition, we would no longer be eligible to offer our securities under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) if we were required to register as an investment company.

 

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act and are therefore ineligible to rely on Regulation A to sell securities, the unregistered issuance of our securities to investors pursuant to this Offering would be considered in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act if there was no other available exemption from registration for this issuance giving the investors a right of rescission.

 

If the Company is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we would no longer be eligible to offer our securities under Regulation A of the Securities Act in this Offering, or at all. If this occurs, the Company will have to immediately terminate this Offering. The unregistered issuance of our securities to investors pursuant to this Offering would be considered in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act if there was no other available exemption from registration for this issuance. The securities sold in this Offering prior to such termination would be


12



subject to a private right of action for rescission or damages by the purchasing investors. Additionally, the Company may not have the funds required to address all rescissions if a large number of investors seek rescission at the same time, and as a result, we may be delayed in the delivery of funds for such rescissions and may be required to sell some of our assets, which may take significant amounts of time and may yield less than is needed to meet our rescission obligations. Additionally, the Company would not be able to raise funds in any other offering pursuant to Regulation A to meet such rescission obligations, as the Company would not be eligible to do so.

 

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act and are therefore ineligible to rely on Regulation A for this Offering, it could result in a large number of investors demanding repayment in a short period of time, and the Company may not have funds to satisfy those demands.

 

In the event that the Company is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we would no longer be eligible to offer our Bonds under Regulation A of the Securities Act in this Offering, or at all. If this occurs, it could result in a large number of investors demanding repayment in a short period of time, and the Company may not have funds to satisfy those demands. As a result, we may be delayed in the delivery of funds and may be required to sell some of our assets, which may take significant amounts of time and may yield less than is needed to meet our obligations. Additionally, the Company would not be able to raise funds in any other offering pursuant to Regulation A to meet such demands, as the Company would not be eligible to do so.

 

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act and sell securities in reliance on Regulation A and operate as an unregistered investment company, we could be subject to liability under Section 5 of the Securities Act.

 

If the Company is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and if we sell securities in reliance on Regulation A and operate as an unregistered investment company due to a failure to qualify for the Section (3)(c)(5)(C) exception of the Investment Company Act, for any Bonds sold by us in reliance on Regulation A, the Company could be liable for violating Section 5 of the Securities Act if any of the securities issued in this Offering would be considered to be an unregistered issuance of securities if no other exemption from registration is available. Section 5 allows purchasers to sue the Company for selling a non-exempt security without registering it; the purchasers may seek rescission with interest, or damages if the purchaser sold his securities for less than he purchased them. The Company could also be subject to enforcement action by the SEC that claims a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Additionally, if the Company was required to register as an investment company but failed to do so and therefore operated as an unregistered investment company, the Company could be subject to monetary penalties and injunctive relief in an action brought by the SEC.

 

Qualifying for an exception from the Investment Company Act may restrict our operating flexibility.

 

As stated above, if at any time we may be deemed an “investment company,” we believe we will be afforded an exception under Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. To qualify for this exemption, we must ensure our asset composition meets certain criteria. Generally, 55% of our assets must consist of qualifying mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate and the remaining 45% must consist of other qualifying real estate-type interests. Maintaining this exception may adversely impact our ability to acquire or hold investments, to engage in future business activities that we believe could be profitable, or could require us to dispose of investments that we might prefer to retain. If we are required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, then the additional expenses and operational requirements associated with such registration may materially and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

Risks Related to Bonds and this Offering

 

The characteristics of the Bonds, including interest rate, maturity date, lack of collateral security or guarantee, and lack of liquidity, may not satisfy your investment objectives.

 

The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for you, and we advise you to consult your investment, tax and other professional financial advisors prior to purchasing Bonds. The characteristics of the Bonds, including maturity date, redeemable by us, interest rate, lack of collateral security or guarantee, and lack of liquidity, may not satisfy your investment objectives. The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for you based on your ability to withstand a loss of interest or principal or other aspects of your financial situation, including your income, net worth, financial needs, investment risk profile, return objectives, investment experience and other factors. Prior to purchasing any Bonds, you should consider your investment allocation with respect to the amount of your contemplated investment in the Bonds in relation to your other investment holdings and the diversity of those holdings.

 

Holders of Bonds are exposed to the credit risk of the Company.

 

Bonds are our full and unconditional obligations. If we are unable to make payments required by the terms of the Bonds, you will have an unsecured claim against us. Bonds are therefore subject to non-payment by us in the event of our bankruptcy or insolvency. In an insolvency proceeding, we cannot assure you that you will recover any remaining funds. Moreover, your claim may be subordinate to that of any senior creditors and any secured creditors to the extent of the value of their security.

 

The Bonds are unsecured obligations.

 

The Bonds do not represent an ownership interest in any specific assets or their proceeds. The Bonds are unsecured general obligations of the Company. The Bonds will be general unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured debt unless such debt is senior to or subordinate to the Bonds by their terms. We may issue secured debt in our sole discretion without notice to or consent from the holders of Bonds. Therefore, as unsecured obligations, there is no security to be provided to the holders of the Bonds.

 

There is no public market for Bonds, and none is expected to develop.

 

Bonds are newly issued securities. Although under Regulation A the securities are not restricted, Bonds are still highly illiquid securities. No public market has developed nor is expected to develop for Bonds, and we do not intend to list Bonds on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotational system. You should be prepared to hold your Bonds as Bonds are expected to be highly illiquid investments.

 

Holders of the Bonds will have no voting rights.

 

Holders of the Bonds will have no voting rights and therefore will have no ability to control the Company. The Bonds do not carry any voting rights and therefore the holders of the Bonds will not be able to vote on any matters regarding the operation of the Company. As a bondholder purchaser in this offering will have no right to vote upon or receive notice of any corporate actions we may undertake which you might otherwise have if you owned equity in our Company.

 

There is a risk that the our website will not be able to handle a large number of investors subscribing to this offering.

 

Although our website will be designed to handle numerous purchase orders and prospective investors, we cannot predict the response of our website to any particular issuance of Bonds pursuant to this offering circular. You should be aware that if a large number of investors try to access our website at the same time and submit their purchase orders simultaneously, there may be a delay in receiving and/or processing your purchase order. You should also be aware that general communications and internet delays or failures unrelated to our website, as well as website capacity limits or failures may prevent purchase orders from being received on a timely basis by our website. We cannot guarantee you that any of your submitted purchase orders will be received, processed and accepted during the offering process.


14



 

The Bond holders may be subject to fees.

 

Bond investors that purchase Bonds will not be charged a servicing fee for their investment. You may be charged a transaction fee if your method of payment requires us to incur an expense. The transaction fee will be equal to the amount that the Company will be charged by the payment processor. Other financial intermediaries, however, if engaged by you, may charge you commissions or fees.

 

Because the Bonds will have no sinking fund, insurance, or guarantee, you could lose all or a part of your investment if we do not have enough cash to pay.

 

There is no sinking fund, insurance or guarantee of our obligation to make payments on the Bonds. We will not contribute funds to a separate account, commonly known as a sinking fund, to make interest or principal payments on the Bonds. The Bonds are not certificates of deposit or similar obligations of, and are not guaranteed or insured by, any depository institution, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or any other governmental or private fund or entity. Therefore, if you invest in the Bonds, you will have to rely only on our cash flow from operations for repayment of principal and interest. If our cash flow from operations are not sufficient to pay any amounts owed under the Bonds, then you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

By purchasing Bonds in this Offering, unless you opt-out in accordance with the terms of the Bond Investor Agreement, you are bound by the arbitration provisions contained in our Bond Investor Agreement to be used for subscriptions in this offering which limits your ability to bring class action lawsuits or seek remedies on a class basis and waives the right a trial by jury.

 

By purchasing Bonds in this offering, unless you opt-out in accordance with the terms of the Bond Investor Agreement, you agree to be bound by the arbitration, jury waiver and class action waiver provisions contained in Section 13 of our Investor Purchase Agreement to be used for subscriptions on this offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Bond Investor Agreement, the holders of Bonds and the Company will agree to (i) resolve disputes of the holders of Bonds through binding arbitration, instead of through courts of general jurisdiction or through a class action and (ii) waive the right to a trial by jury and to participate in any class action. Pursuant to the terms of the Bond Investor Agreement, if a holder of Bonds does not agree to the terms of the arbitration provision, the holder of Bonds may opt-out of the arbitration provision by sending an arbitration opt-out notice to the Company within thirty (30) days of the holder’s first electronic acceptance of the Bond Investor Agreement. If the opt-out notice is not received within thirty (30) days, the holder of Bonds will be deemed to have accepted all terms of the arbitration provision, including the class action and jury waiver. If the investor opts out of the arbitration provision, the investor has also opted out of the jury trial and class action waivers. As arbitration provisions in commercial agreements have generally been respected by federal courts and state courts of Delaware, we believe that the arbitration provision in the Bond Investor Agreement is enforceable under federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware. Although holders of Bonds will be subject to the arbitration provisions of the Bond Investor Agreement, the arbitration provisions do not preclude holders of Bonds from pursuing claims under the U.S. federal securities laws in federal courts. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OF THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY ANY HOLDER OF BONDS OF THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OF THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT DO NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECURITIES ACT.


15



The Bond Investor Agreement provides that, to the extent permitted by law, each party to the Bond Investor Agreement waives the right to a jury trial or class action of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to our Bonds or the Bond Investor Agreement. If we were to oppose a jury trial or class action demand based on such waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based upon the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable state and federal law, including whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial or class action. The bondholders of Bonds will be subject to these provisions of the Bond Investor Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. THE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION CONTAINED IN THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY ANY HOLDER OF BONDS OF THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THE JURY WAIVER AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT DO NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECURITIES ACT.

 

If the investor opts out of the arbitration provision, the investor has also opted out of the jury trial and class action waivers. If an investor does not opt-out, as described above, the rights of the adverse bond holder to seek redress in court would be severely limited. These restrictions on the ability to bring a class action lawsuit may result in increased costs and/or reduced remedies, to individual investors who wish to pursue claims against the Company.

 

SPECIAL INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements in this offering circular are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth above under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. 

 

We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non-reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering. 

 

DILUTION

 

The Company is not offering equity and, therefore, investors will not experience dilution. 


16



PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering up to $75 million of our Bonds pursuant to this offering circular. There is no minimum offering amount and no provision to return or escrow investor funds if any minimum number of bonds is not sold. We are offering “1yr Bonds” and “3yr Bonds.” 1yr Bonds will accrue interest at 8% per annum and 3yr Bonds will accrue interest at 10% per annum. Upon subscribing for Bonds, Investors may elect to be paid interest monthly or have interest compound monthly until paid at maturity. The minimum investment for any investor is $1,000.   

 

We have not engaged a broker-dealer for this offering. We reserve the right to engage the services of a registered broker-dealer who will offer, sell and process the subscriptions for the Bonds, although we do not presently expect to engage such selling agent. If any broker-dealer or other agent/person is engaged to sell our Bonds, we will file a post-qualification amendment to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part disclosing the names and compensation arrangements prior to any sales by such persons. See “Plan of Distribution” in this offering circular.

 

The sale of Bonds will commence once this offering is qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and on a continuous basis thereafter until the maximum number of Bonds offered hereby is sold or awarded. We may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to us. After the initial closing of this offering, we expect to hold closings on at least a monthly basis. The termination of the offering will occur on the earlier of (i) the date that subscriptions for the Bonds offered hereby equal $75,000,000 or (ii) three years from the date this offering circular is qualified by the SEC.

 

No public market has developed nor is expected to develop for Bonds, and we do not intend to list Bonds on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotational system.

 

Investor Suitability Standards

 

Our Bonds are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in Bonds does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

 

For an individual potential investor to be an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:

 

1. an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person and the mortgage on that primary residence (to the extent not underwater), but including the amount of debt that exceeds the value of that residence and including any increase in debt on that residence within the prior 60 days, other than as a result of the acquisition of that primary residence (this definition of net worth will also apply to investors that are non-accredited natural persons for purposes of determining whether they are qualified purchasers); or

 

2. earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year.

 

If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details. For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

 

If you live outside the United States, it is your responsibility to fully observe the laws of any relevant territory or jurisdiction outside the United States in connection with any purchase, including obtaining required governmental or other consent and observing any other required legal or other formalities.


17

In addition, within the subscription agreement, investors must agree to indemnify the Company for their misrepresentations to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not requiring, and cannot require, investors to waive any of their rights to bring claims against the Company under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or similar state laws.

 

Our Manager will be permitted to make a determination that the subscribers of Bonds in this offering are qualified purchasers in reliance on the information and representations provided by the subscriber regarding the subscriber’s financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable federal thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to http://www.investor.gov. Our Manager may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason at all.

 

An investment in our Bonds interests may involve significant risks. Only investors who can bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time and the loss of their entire investment should invest in our Bonds.

Electronic Book-Entry of Bonds

 

Bonds will be maintained in your name in book-entry form. Physical Bond certificates are not available. Interest does not accrue until your subscription has been accepted. The Company will maintain its Bond registry.

  

Tax and Legal Treatment

 

Bonds will receive interest income. At the end of the calendar year, investors with over $10 of realized interest will receive a form 1099-INT. These will need to be filed in accordance with the United States Tax Code. Investor’s tax situations will likely vary greatly and all tax and accounting questions should be directed towards a certified public accountant.

  

Auto-Invest Program

 

We may elect in the future to establish an auto-invest program (“Auto-Invest Program”), which will allow investors to automatically invest in additional Bonds on a recurring basis (e.g., daily, bi-weekly or monthly) subject to an amount and investment parameters that they designate.

 

If they elect to participate in the Auto-Invest Program, we will automatically place orders for Bonds that match the amount and parameters they designate. Investors may affirmatively elect to participate or cancel their participation in the Auto-Invest Program by selecting “on” or “off” in their investment account. As part of affirmatively electing to participate in the Auto-Invest Program by selecting “on”, the investor will choose the frequency of such investor’s recurring investments (e.g., daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) and the amount of such recurring investment. In addition, the investor will choose which bank account from which the funds would be drawn for purposes of the Auto-Invest Program. Upon affirmatively electing to participate in the Auto-Invest Program, the investor will be asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the Bond Investor Agreement. Prior to each “auto investment,” the investor will be asked to reconfirm the terms and conditions of the Bond Investor Agreement which they originally agreed to, such as that the

investor continues to be either an accredited investor or in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering. Such communication will contain a URL hyperlink to, or an electronic copy of, this offering circular as revised from time to time by supplements filed with the SEC, in accordance with SEC Rule 251(d)(1). If no reconfirmation is received by us from the investor prior to a scheduled “auto-investment,” the “auto-investment” shall not be executed. If a reconfirmation is received by us from the investor prior to a scheduled “auto-investment,” we will send a confirmatory email to the investor denoting the amount invested upon such “auto-investment” and containing a URL hyperlink to, or an electronic copy of, this offering circular as revised from time to time by supplements filed with the SEC, in accordance with SEC Rule 251(d)(2).

 

Holders of Bonds will have access to current information regarding their Bonds by viewing their account on our website. Users can review, adjust, cancel, pause, or restart the Auto-Invest Program at any time by making the appropriate selection within their account or by contacting us.

 

We intend to treat any sales of Bonds made pursuant to the Auto-Invest Program as sales chargeable against the aggregate total of offered securities pursuant to the offering circular and to include such sales when calculating the $75 million cap in offering proceeds raised under any qualified offering statement within a 12-month period in accordance with SEC Rule 251(a).

  

Exchange of Bonds for Existing Debt

 

The Company may, in lieu of accepting cash for Bonds, accept as payment for Bonds cancellation of notes issued by the Company’s parent, RV Yield AI LLC, to its investors. Such investors will complete a subscription agreement the same as all other investors. Upon acceptance of a Bond subscription by a previous note holder, the previous noteholder will be instructed to tender its note from RV Yield AI LLC for cancellation. Upon cancellation, the previous note holder will be issued a Bond in the principal amount equal to the principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest and fees due under the note being cancelled.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Company

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 3, 2022. We operate via our subsidiaries, KS OBX LLC (“RE Subsidiary”) and RV Digital LLC (“Digital Subsidiary”). Our RE Subsidiary holds our real estate assets and our Digital Subsidiary holds our digital assets. We own 70% of our RE Subsidiary and 100% of our Digital Subsidiary.

 

We are managed by Robert Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Manager”).

 

Our address is 2810 N. Church St., #28283, Wilmington, Delaware 19802 and our telephone number is (302) 404-6341.

Our Business

 

Robert Ventures Holdings is committed to strategically investing in digital assets and real estate. 

 

Real Estate

 

The Company intends to invest approximately thirty to seventy percent of the amount raised in real estate, but may have a greater or lower amount invested at any given time. The amount of capital deployed will be based on market conditions, opportunities available in the market, and the cashflow needs of ongoing home construction.  

 

The first area of focus will be the Outer Banks region of North Carolina. This is where our Manager has over twenty years of knowledge and experience. There are already established broker relationships in the area that allow us to view certain properties before the public, and there are occasional direct marketing campaigns that may be executed to generate leads. This market is very attractive for buyers as it has been noted many times as one of the best rated beaches in the USA and top destinations for kiteboarding and water activities. These amenities draw buyers from all over to the area to purchase property. 

 

The Company will focus on buying land and building new homes for the new home entry price points. The price per lot will vary from $75,000 to $250,000 per building site, with a cost to build in the $300,000 to $500,000 range. The target sales price will be in the $500,000 to $800,000 price range when sold. Robert Ventures anticipates that the typical timeframe on these projects will be about 10 months from the time the building permits are issued to the sale of the property. We may acquire our properties using special purpose entities. 

 

We expect to selectively employ additional leverage to acquire and build our real estate. Our target portfolio wide leverage after we have acquired an initial substantial portfolio of investments is secured debt of between 50% and 85% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our real estate assets. We will seek to secure structured leverage that is long term, nonrecourse, non-mark to market financing to the extent obtainable on a cost-effective basis; however, may use floating rate, construction financing and other available loan types as well. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion.  

 

Our Manager has the authority to make all the decisions regarding our real estate investments. The criteria that our Manager will consider when evaluating prospective investment opportunities include: 

  

macroeconomic conditions;

  

real estate market factors that may influence real estate valuations;

  

analysis of the real estate, zoning, operating costs and the asset’s overall competitive position in its market;

 

the estimated costs and timing associated with development and building of the real estate;

 

a valuation of the investment, comparable properties and the likely ability to liquidate an investment through a sale;

 

review of third party reports, including appraisals, engineering and environmental reports; and

  

physical inspections.


22



Digital Assets

The Company will also invest in digital assets, including proven cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), to foster significant growth and stability. These investments present robust potential and align with the ongoing digital revolution in finance and beyond. The Company's expects to focus on Bitcoin and large-cap, liquid digital assets and protocols with alternative staking systems to the proof-of-work method utilized by cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. In addition, our focus may extend to select altcoins that underpin the infrastructure of future digital advancements, particularly Web3. This approach allows us to participate in changes in the underlying value of the token while simultaneously generating returns from staking. Robert Ventures is poised to take advantage of the burgeoning digital assets market, offering its investors interest generated from a unique blend of growth potential and market resilience. 

The Company intends to use our Managers proprietary models that it has built to determine optimal times to purchase digital assets. Our investment objective will be achieved by meticulously identifying suitable digital assets backed by rigorous fundamental and technical analyses. This investment strategy ensures that Robert Ventures is poised to embrace and leverage the next evolution of the internet, thus maintaining a competitive edge in the dynamic digital asset landscape. 

The Company will optimize investment value by engaging in yield-generation activities like staking and earning methods while holding these digital assets. These processes present the dual advantage of enhancing the intrinsic value of its investments and generating consistent cash flow. While the strategy is to adhere to these parameters, the company reserves the right to deviate from or modify the strategy as market conditions evolve, always prioritizing investors' interests, there is a possibility that such tokens may be deemed a security. Still, it is the company's goal to minimize exposure to any such tokens that may be deemed a security. If the Company believes that one of its digital assets could be deemed a security, it will seek to hold and dispose of such asset in accordance with applicable state and federal securities laws.  

The Company intends to invest approximately thirty to seventy percent of the amount raised in digital assets, but may have a greater or lower amount invested at any given time. The amount of capital deployed will be based on market conditions and opportunities available in the market.  

The Company will hold its digital assets with reputable custodians such as Coinbase, Bitgo, or other qualified parties.  We will aim to hold these digital assets for multiple years as it captures the appreciation and growth of the digital asset sector. 

Employees

  

We do not have any employees. We are dependent upon the services provided through our Manager.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, nor are we aware of any threatened or pending legal proceedings, that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation if determined adversely to us.

 

Government Regulation

The Company’s real estate business is subject to multiple laws, including regulations applicable to ownership and construction of properties. Regulations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from state to state. In any jurisdictions or states in which we operate, we may be required to obtain licenses and permits to conduct business.


23



With regards to our digital assets, the regulation of cryptocurrencies is uncertain. To the extent that any cryptocurrency is classified as a security, its purchase and sale would be governed by the federal and state securities laws. To the extent that any cryptocurrency is classified as a commodity, its purchase and sale could be governed by the commodities trading laws. 

While the Company will use its best efforts to comply with all laws, including federal, state, and local laws and regulations, claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against us by individuals or governmental authorities. These legal actions could expose the Company to significant damages, legal fees or other penalties that would adversely affect the Company and its ability to distribute income to Investors.

Competition

 

The Company competes with many others engaged in real estate and digital asset investment including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds. Significant increases in the number of listings for entry level housing in the geographic areas where the Company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact the value of our real estate assets. 

 

Reporting

 

Our Manager must keep appropriate books and records with respect to the business of the Company. 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 Manager in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. 

 

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, and will include audited financial statements for the previous fiscal year. The Company will make semi-annual filings on Form 1-SA, 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 investors of record and have filed at least one Form 1-K. 

 

Under the Securities Act, the Company must update this offering circular upon the occurrence of certain events, such as asset acquisitions. 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 and updated disclosures. 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 and the Company’s website. You should read all the available information before investing. 

 

No Public Market

 

Although under Regulation A the Bonds are not restricted, Bonds are still highly illiquid securities. No public market has developed nor is expected to develop for Bonds, and we do not intend to list Bonds on a national securities exchange or interdealer quotational system. You should be prepared to hold your Bonds as Bonds are expected to be highly illiquid.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this offering circular. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this offering circular. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no guaranty or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 3, 2022 to invest in real estate and digital assets. To date, we have focused mainly on creating and beginning to implement our business plan, raising capital, and preparing for this offering.

 

Results of Operations

 

We have not had any revenues to date and do not expect to generate revenues for approximately the first 12 months from the date this offering circular is qualified by the SEC. For fiscal year 2022, we had $440 of general and administrative expenses and $13,060 of such expenses for the period January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Due to its recent formation and limited operating history, the Company has limited assets on its balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, we had $971,247 in assets, consisting mainly of cash contributed by our sole member. We had no liabilities as of the same date. As of June 30, 2023, we had $1,127,845, consisting mainly of property held for investment as a result of us beginning to implement our business plan. We had liabilities as of $549,623, consisting of loans from our member, and debt incurred in conjunction with the purchase of our assets. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash on hand of only $14,606.  

 

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 this offering and sale of some of its real estate assets. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.  

 

Plan of Operations

 

During the next 12 months, assuming sufficient capital is raised through this offering or otherwise, we intend to begin to build homes on our already acquired lots. We hope to complete approximately 6-10 homes during such period. We also intend to acquire up to three more lots to develop. We expect to sell approximately 6-10 properties over the next 12 months. We also intend to acquire digital assets representing 30%-70% of our asset portfolio, but may have a greater or lower amount invested in digital assets at any given time. We do not expect to sell any digital assets in the first 12 months but may do so if necessary to fund other acquisitions or construction.


26



Trends

 

The Company has a limited operating history and no significant historical operating data for trend analysis. Nonetheless, the Company’s business is subject to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. Events including, but not limited to, recession; inflation; downturn or otherwise; government regulations and political policies; travel restrictions; changes in the real estate market; and interest-rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations. 

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 3 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this offering circular, and we believe those accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

Bonds

 

General. We may offer Bonds, with a total value of up to $75 million on a continuous basis, under this offering circular. The Bonds will be offered in increments of $10.00. We will not issue more than $75 million of Bonds pursuant to this offering circular in any 12-month period.

 

Maturity. Bonds are payable within 90 days from written demand by a holder, subject to a one year or three year lock up period, as elected by each holder when subscribing for Bonds.

 

Interest. Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the fixed interest rate of 8% per annum for 1yr Bonds and 10% for 3yr Bonds. Investors may elect to be paid interest monthly or have interest compound monthly until maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to have all bonds held in IRAs to receive compounding interest only, without the option of monthly interest payments.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days based on the actual number of days elapsed. Interest will begin to accrue once an investor’s subscription has been accepted. Monthly payments of interest will occur prior to the 10th business day of each month for the prior month.

  

Redemption by Company. Each Bond is redeemable by us at any time at par value plus any accrued but unpaid interest up to but not including the date of redemption. The Bonds are redeemable upon five days’ notice by the Company to the bond holder and the outstanding principal balance together with the interest will be credited to the bond holder’s account within five business days following the redemption date.

 

Security; Ranking; Sinking Fund. The Bonds will be general unsecured obligations, and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured debt unless such debt is senior to or subordinate to the Bonds by their terms. We may issue secured debt in our sole discretion without notice to or consent from the holders of Bonds. There is no sinking fund.

 

Fees. Bond investors that purchase our Bonds are not charged a servicing fee for their investment. Investors may be charged a transaction fee if your method of payment requires us to incur an expense. The transaction fee will be equal to the amount that the Company will be charged by the payment processor. Other financial intermediaries, however, if engaged by you, may charge you commissions or fees.

 

Form and Custody. Bonds will be issued by computer-generated program and electronically signed by us in favor of the investor. The Bonds will be digitally stored by us and will remain in our or our agent’s custody for ease of administration with a copy available in investor’s Bond account.

 

Transfer. The Bonds are not transferrable without written consent from the Company. In order to transfer a Bond, its holder must request transfer from the Company, including the identification of the transferee. The Company will have 30 days from request to approve or reject the request for transfer. The Company is not obligated to approve any transfer and holders should be prepared to hold their Bonds indefinitely.

 

Conversion or Exchange Rights. The Bonds are not convertible or exchangeable into any other securities.

 

Events of Default. The following will be events of default under the Bonds:

 

 

if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days;

 

 

 

 

if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due whether by demand of a bond holder or by our redemption and such failure continues for ninety (90) days; and

 

 

 

 

if we file, or have an involuntary case filed against us, for bankruptcy, are insolvent or make a general assignment in favor of our creditors.


29



Upon an Event of Default, the Bond holder will have the right to declare all amounts due under the Bond immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default of Bonds may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

 

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. No incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer, director, affiliate or subsidiary of ours will have any liability for any obligations of ours due to the issuance of any Bonds.

  

Governing Law.

 

Bonds and the Bond Investor Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Arbitration.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Bond Investor Agreement, the holders of Bonds and the Company will agree to (i) resolve disputes of the holders of Bonds through binding arbitration, instead of through courts of general jurisdiction or through a class action and (ii) waive the right to a trial by jury and to participate in any class action.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Bond Investor Agreement, if a holder of Bonds does not agree to the terms of the arbitration provision, the holder of Bonds may opt-out of the arbitration provision by sending an arbitration opt-out notice to the Company within thirty (30) days of the holder’s first electronic acceptance of the Bond Investor Agreement. If the opt-out notice is not received within thirty (30) days, the holder of Bonds will be deemed to have accepted all terms of the arbitration provision, including the class action and jury waiver. If the investor opts out of the arbitration provision, the investor has also opted out of the jury trial and class action waivers.

 

As arbitration provisions in commercial agreements have generally been respected by federal courts and state courts of Delaware, we believe that the arbitration provision in the Bond Investor Agreement is enforceable under federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware. Although holders of Bonds will be subject to the arbitration provisions of the Bond Investor Agreement, the arbitration provisions do not preclude holders of Bonds from pursuing claims under the Exchange Act and Securities Act in federal courts. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OF THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY ANY HOLDER OF BONDS OF THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OF THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT DO NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECURITIES ACT.

 

Jury Trial and Class Action Waivers.

 

The Bond Investor Agreement provides that, to the extent permitted by law, each party to the Bond Investor Agreement waives the right to a jury trial or class action of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to our Bonds or the Bond Investor Agreement. If we were to oppose a jury trial or class action demand based on such waiver, the court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based upon the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable state and federal law, including whether a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial or class action. The bondholders of Bonds will be subject to these provisions of the Bond Investor Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. THE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION CONTAINED IN THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE DEEMED A WAIVER BY ANY HOLDER OF BONDS OF THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THE JURY WAIVER AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THE BOND INVESTOR AGREEMENT DO NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND SECURITIES ACT. If the investor opts out of the arbitration provision, the investor has also opted out of the jury trial and class action waivers.

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To Joseph Robert, CEO

Robert Ventures Holdings LLC and Subsidiary Dover, DE

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Robert Ventures Holdings LLC (a State of Delaware LLC), and subsidiary (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, member’s equity, and cash flows for the period May 3, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Robert Ventures Holdings LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2022 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period May 3, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022 then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered


F-1



material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:

·Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 

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

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

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

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

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Period May 3, 2022 (Inception) Through December 31, 2022


Note 1. Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Robert Ventures Holdings LLC and its subsidiary, RV Digital LLC, (the Company) were incorporated in Delaware in May of 2022. The Company is committed to strategically investing in digital assets and real estate. The Company will invest approximately thirty to seventy percent of the amount raised in real estate, initially in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina. The Company will focus on buying land and building new homes for the new home entry price points and anticipates that the typical timeframe on these projects will be about ten months from the time the building permits are issued to the sale of the property. The Company will also invest in digital assets, hold them for multiple years, and store them in custody solutions. The Company intends to deploy thirty to seventy percent of its capital to digital assets. The market opportunity will determine the final amount and how Robert Ventures underwrites risk at certain price levels. The company intends to use proprietary models it has built to determine optimal times to purchase.

 

While the strategy is to adhere to these parameters, the company reserves the right to deviate from or modify the strategy as market conditions evolve, always prioritizing investors' interests. Robert Ventures is poised to take advantage of the burgeoning digital assets market, offering its investors interest generated from a unique blend of growth potential and market resilience.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Robert Ventures Holdings LLC and RV Digital LLC, which are related through common ownership and management. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies of similar size in its industry, including, but not limited to, the need to identify appropriate property for development, the need for additional capital (or financing) to fund operating losses (see below), competition from larger companies, and dependence on key individuals.

 

The Company has cash available on hand and believes that this cash will be sufficient to fund operations and meet its obligations as they come due within one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s long-term success is dependent upon its ability to successfully raise additional capital as needed, increase revenues, and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Robert Ventures Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Period May 3, 2022 (Inception) Through December 31, 2022


Note 1. Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company maintains its records on the accrual basis for consolidated financial statements purposes.

 

Income Tax Status

 

The Company is organized as a limited liability company. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, taxes related to income earned by the Company represent obligations of the member and have not been reflected in the consolidated income statement. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to account for uncertain tax position. The Company is not aware of any significant tax positions taken by management which are subject to uncertainty or pose a reasonable possibility of change by Federal or state tax authorities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments available for current use with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents whose use is limited are not considered cash and cash equivalents, for purposes of the statement of cash flows.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. A receivable is considered past due if the Company has not received payments based on agreed-upon terms. The Company generally does not require any security or collateral to support its receivables. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts for the period May 3, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense was $0 for the period May 3, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022.

 

Compensated Absences

 

The Company does not record a liability for unpaid accumulated sick and vacation pay since there is no policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from service.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

During February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. This ASU was the result of a joint project of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance in this ASU affects any Company that enters into a lease (as defined in this ASU), with some specific scope exemptions. The guidance in this ASU will supersede current topic 840, Leases. This ASU provides that lessees should recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases that exceed 12 months in duration, including leases existing prior to the effective date of this ASU. This ASU also requires enhanced leasing arrangement disclosures. The amendments of ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for non-public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning one year later, December 15, 2022. The Company had no leases as of December 31, 2022.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Period May 3, 2022 (Inception) Through December 31, 2022


Note 2. Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively, known as ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) effective May 3, 2022. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised property is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for that property.

 

Note 3. Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company places its cash, which may at times be in excess of FDIC insurance limits, with high quality financial institutions. At various times throughout the period May 3, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022, amounts exceeded the federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $720,264 included in cash and cash equivalents that were not FDIC insured. Management believes the risk of loss is minimal.

 

Note 4. Subsequent Events

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 15, 2023, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosures in these financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

During February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. This ASU was the result of a joint project of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance in this ASU affects any Company that enters into a lease (as defined in this ASU), with some specific scope exemptions. The guidance in this ASU will supersede current topic 840, Leases. This ASU provides that lessees should recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases that exceed 12 months in duration, including leases existing prior to the effective date of this ASU. This ASU also requires enhanced leasing arrangement disclosures. The amendments of ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for non-public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning one year later, December 15, 2022. The Company had no leases as of June 30, 2023.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively, known as ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) effective May 3, 2022.
