(1)The company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC (“Dalmore”), to perform administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. This includes the 1% commission but it does not include the one-time expense allowance of $5,000, or consulting fees of $20,000 payable by the company to Dalmore. See “Plan of Distribution” for details. The company intends to distribute all offerings of Series Interests in any Series of the company principally through Whimsy Properties LLC as described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution and Subscription Procedure.”

 

  (2) The company anticipates incurring approximately $175,030.00 of offering expenses (not including commissions or state filing fees), which it expects to allocate among all Series, including those created in the future, with commissions allocated directly to the Series Interests being sold in the offering.

 

Sales of these securities will commence on approximately [date].

 

Our company can offer up to $75 million within a rolling 12-month period pursuant to Regulation A. Our company intends to offer additional series within such limit and will file post qualification amendments for the offerings of such series with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The offerings of such series will be made available to investors from the date such amendment is qualified by the Commission. There will be separate closings with respect to each offering. An offering for a series will terminate at the earlier of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold, (ii) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company at its sole discretion, (iii) one year from the date such offering circular or amendment thereof, as applicable, is originally qualified by the Commission in the event the series does not reach the minimum offering amount. At least every 12 months after this offering has been qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the company will file a post-qualification amendment to include the company’s recent financial statements. The Offering covers an amount of securities that we reasonably expect to offer and sell within two years, although the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part may be used for up to three years and 180 days under certain conditions.

 

The company has engaged North Capital Private Securities Corporation as agent to hold any funds that are tendered by investors. The company may undertake one or more closings for each Series on a rolling basis after the minimum offering amount for that Series, if any, is reached and, after each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to such Series.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

current reports for certain material events.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

6 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

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

SUMMARY

 

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

 

The Company

 

Whimsy Properties LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company formed on February 1, 2024, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Whimsy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Whimsy Properties is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific long or short-term rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management. The marketability and value of the properties will depend upon many factors beyond the control of our management. There is no assurance that there will be a ready market for the properties, since investments in real property are generally non-liquid. The Managing Member has not offered prior investment programs that would be considered direct participation programs as defined in FINRA Rule 2310(a)(18) and 2310(b)(3)(D).

 

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

 

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

 

For example, an investor who acquires Series Interests in Series #1 will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to Villa #1 located at 15290 Block 7, San Pedro West Caye, 3 miles northwest of San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize District, Belize. An investor who acquires Series Interests in Series #1 will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to that property.

 

9 

 

 

Whimsy will serve as the managing member (the “Managing Member”) responsible for the day-to-day management of the company and each Series. Each Series may purchase the property from a third party or from Whimsy or its subsidiary.

 

Organizational Chart

 

For ease of understanding the company’s business structure, it has included the organizational chart below:

 

 

(1)Whimsy LLC is the Managing Member of Whimsy Properties LLC and is wholly owned by our CEO, Edwin Carrasquillo.

 

The Current Offering

 

Securities Being Offered:  

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

 

Each Series of Series Interests is intended to be a separate Series of our company for purposes of assets and liabilities. See “Securities Being Offered” for further details. The Series Interests will be non-voting except with respect to certain matters set forth in our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Whimsy Properties LLC dated August 1, 2024, as amended from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”) including the Series Designations applicable to the Series. The purchase of Series Interests in a Series is an investment only in that Series of our company and not an investment in our company as a whole.

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

RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Liability of investors between Series.

 

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

 

11 

 

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Each Series will rely on its property manager to manage each property.

 

Following the acquisition of any property, the property will be managed by a third-party property manager. In addition, such property manager will be entitled to certain fees in exchange for its day-to-day operations of each property. Any compensation arrangements will be determined by Whimsy and such property manager.

 

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

 

We intend to establish additional Series and acquire additional vacation rental properties in the future. As we do so, we will be increasingly reliant on the resources of Whimsy to manage our properties and our company. Currently, Whimsy operates with practically no staff and will likely need to hire additional staff. If its resources are not adequate to manage our properties effectively, our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

12 

 

 

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

 

The company’s future depends, in part, on Whimsy’s ability to attract and retain key personnel. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of the executive officers and other key personnel of Here, each of whom would be difficult to replace.

 

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

 

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

 

Currently, Whimsy is the Managing Member of Whimsy Properties and each Series. Whimsy expects to create more Series in the future as additional attractive vacation rental properties are identified. It is foreseeable that at certain times the various Series will be competing for time from the management team.

 

The company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate.

 

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

 

Application of existing tax laws, rules or regulations are subject to interpretation by taxing authorities.

 

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

 

13 

 

 

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

 

We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation, or exposure to additional tax liabilities.

 

Our future tax liabilities may be adversely affected by legislative and other changes to taxing regimes, as well as changes in our business operating structure and the mix of revenue and earnings in countries with differing tax rates. Any substantial changes in tax policies or legislative initiatives may materially and adversely affect our business, the taxes we are required to pay, our financial position, and results of operations.

 

Taxing jurisdictions around the world have focused legislative efforts on tax reform, transparency, base erosion, and have enacted or are considering enacting digital services taxes, which could lead to inconsistent and potentially overlapping international tax regimes. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") continues to advance proposals relating to its initiative for modernizing international tax rules, with the goal of having the participant countries implement a modernized and aligned international tax framework. Many of the current tax laws, rules, and regulations imposing taxes and other obligations were enacted before the growth of the digital economy. Certain jurisdictions have enacted legislation directed at taxing multi-national businesses. If existing tax laws, rules, or regulations change, by amendment or new legislation, the result could increase our tax liabilities and reporting obligations. The outcome of these changes may have an adverse effect on our business or financial performance.

 

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

 

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

 

14 

 

 

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

 

The determination of whether to dispose of the Underlying Assets associated with any Series is entirely at the discretion of the company. Even if the company decides to dispose of such Underlying Assets, the company cannot guarantee that it will be able to dispose of them at a favorable price to investors.

 

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

 

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

 

The risks of doing business internationally, or in a particular country or region, could lower our revenues, increase our costs, reduce our profits, or disrupt our business.

 

For any Series located outside of the United States will be subject to the risks related to doing business in a foreign country, including:

 

·the costs of complying with laws, regulations, and policies, including taxation policies, of foreign governments relating to investments and operations; the costs or desirability of complying with local practices and customs; and the impact of various anti-corruption and other laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad;
·currency exchange rate fluctuations or currency restructurings;
·evolving local data residency requirements that require data to be stored only in and, in some cases, also to be accessed only from within a certain jurisdiction;
·U.S. taxation of income earned abroad;
·import and export licensing requirements and regulations, as well as unforeseen changes in regulatory requirements, including the imposition of tariffs or embargoes, export regulations, controls, and other trade restrictions;
·political and economic instability;
·health and safety protocols, including global care and cleanliness certifications, at our portfolio of properties;
·uncertainties as to local laws and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights and occasional requirements for onerous contract clauses; and
·rapid changes in government, economic, and political policies; political or civil unrest; acts of war or terrorism; or the threat of international boycotts or U.S. anti-boycott legislation.

 

15 

 

  

While these factors and the impact of these factors are difficult to predict, any one or more of them could lower our revenues, affect our operations, increase our costs, reduce our profits, or disrupt our business.

 

In addition, conducting business in currencies other than U.S. dollars subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, currency devaluations, or restructurings that could have a negative impact on our financial results.

 

For some of our investments we may just own the building and not the land.

 

For underlying assets were we do not own the land, we have rights to the land via a lease. For those properties, there can be no guarantee that the lease will be renewed upon expiration or that the terms of the lease are as favorable to the company.

 

Risks Related to an investment in Series #1

 

We will not own the underlying land where the villa will be located.

 

Series #1 will only own the actual villa whereas an affiliate of the Managing Member, Tranquillo Living LLC, owns and will continue to own the underlying real estate. Series #1 will enter into a lease agreement with Tranquillo Living with a 10 year lease. Upon expiration of the 10-year term of the lease, the company and Tranquillo Living LLC have a year to renegotiate the lease. If they are unable to come to an agreement, Tranquillo Living may purchase Villa #1 at a discount. This provision could incentivize Tranquillo Living to not agree to renew the lease in order to acquire the villa at a discount to its market price. In such event, your financial returns would be adversely affected.

 

There could be uncertainty regarding property valuation and market conditions.

 

The value of the villa being purchased is inherently tied to the value of the underlying real estate, which is owned by Tranquillo Living. Any changes in the affiliate’s ownership, control, or development plans for the land could directly impact the value of the Villa. Additionally, the property may not be as easily marketable as other real estate investments, especially if demand for vacation homes on the specific type of land or in the particular location decreases due to economic or market conditions.

 

The terms of the company’s lease of the underlying property, including the 10 year term, were not negotiated at arms’ length.

 

The company will lease land where Belize Villa #1 is located from Tranquillo Living LLC, an affiliate of the company. While the company believes that the terms of the lease, including the monthly payments, will be commercially reasonable and fair to the company and its investors, this opinion may be unintentionally influenced by the relationships between the company and its affiliates and the motivation for each to generate fees.

 

There is only one third party property manager available in the vicinity of the property.

 

The company intends to employ the services of a local property manager. The company is aware of only one property manager in the vicinity of the property, Isla Bonita Property Management. If the company is unable to secure this property manager’s services it may be difficult for the company to find a replacement property manager and the lack of other property managers may impact the terms of any agreement with the property manager. In such event, the company may be forced to manage the property itself or engage an affiliate of the Managing Member to act in such capacity. There can be no guarantee that the company or an affiliate would be able to successfully manage the property and the company’s performance could be adversely affected.

 

Economic and political conditions in Belize may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The first villa we are building for Series #1 will be located in Belize. Consequently, our financial condition and results of operations depend significantly on macroeconomic and political conditions prevailing in Belize. Decreases in the growth rate, periods of negative growth, increases in inflation, changes in law, regulation, policy, or future judicial rulings and interpretations of policies involving exchange controls and other matters such as (but not limited to) currency depreciation, inflation, interest rates, taxation, banking laws and regulations and other political or economic developments in or affecting Belize may affect the overall business environment and may, in turn, adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations in the future. The Belize government may intervene in Belize’s economy and from time to time makes significant changes in monetary, fiscal and regulatory policy. Our business and results of operations or financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in government or fiscal policies, and other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments that may affect Belize. We cannot predict what policies the Belize government will adopt and whether those policies would have a negative impact on the Belize economy or on our business and financial performance in the future.

We cannot assure you whether current stability in the Belize economy or its tourism industry will be sustained. If the condition of the Belize economy or its political stability and tourism industry were to deteriorate, we would likely be adversely affected. 

 

If we are unable to manage the risks presented by our international operations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

 

Our first Series will be for property located in Belize. Managing international operations is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, and requires significant management attention. In addition, conducting international operations subjects us to risks, which include:

 

●operational and compliance challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences; 

 

●the cost and resources required to localize our platform and services;

 

●differing, more restrictive and conflicting laws and regulations, including those governing Internet activities, short-term and long-term rentals, tourism, taxes, licensing, payments processing, messaging, marketing activities, registration and/or verification of guests, ownership and protection of intellectual property, content, data collection and privacy, security, data localization, data transfer and government access to personal information, and the lack of familiarity and the burden of complying with them;

 

●uncertainty in the enforceability of legal rights, and uneven application of laws and regulations to businesses, in particular to U.S. companies;

 

●competition with companies that understand local markets better than we do, or that have a local presence and pre-existing relationships with potential homeowners and guests in those markets;

 

●differing levels of social acceptance of our brand and offerings;

 

●legal uncertainty regarding our liability with respect to our properties and other third parties and uncertain resolutions of litigation or regulatory inquiries;

 

●variations in, and increased operational complexity around, payment activity between us, property managers, guests, and inability to offer local payment forms like cash or country-specific digital forms of payment;

 

●potentially adverse tax consequences, including resulting from the complexities of foreign corporate income tax systems, value added tax ("VAT") regimes, tax withholding rules, lodging taxes, and other indirect taxes, tax collection or remittance obligations, and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

 

●difficulties in managing and staffing international operations, including due to differences in legal, regulatory, and collective bargaining processes;

 

●fluctuations in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar;

 

●regulations governing the control of local currencies and their impact on our ability to collect and remit funds to homeowners in those currencies or to repatriate cash into the United States;

 

●oversight by foreign government agencies whose approach to privacy or human rights may be inconsistent with those taken in other countries;

 

●increased financial accounting and reporting burdens, and complexities and difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls in an international operating environment;

 

●political, social, and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks, and security concerns in general; and

 

●operating in countries that are more prone to crime or have lower safety standards, or have higher risk of corruption.

 

Increased operating expenses, decreased revenue, negative publicity, negative reaction from our guests and other stakeholders, or other adverse impacts from any of the above factors or other risks related to our international operations, could materially adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.

Risks Related to our Managing Member

 

Our Managing Member has a limited operating history and no profits to date. As a result, our Managing Member faces increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties.

 

Our Managing Member has a limited operating history. Our Managing Member is currently comprised of one real estate professional. If our business grows substantially, our Managing Member and its affiliates may need to make significant new investments in personnel and infrastructure to support that growth. If our Managing Member is unable provide the necessary infrastructure and is unable to make significant investments on a timely basis or at reasonable costs, you may experience delays in receipt of distributions from your investments or other disruptions to our business and operations.

 

The Managing Member has limited experience on which investors can rely.

 

You will be totally reliant upon the skill, judgement and expertise of our Managing Member and its principals, employees and third party service providers. Our Managing Member, Whimsy LLC, has limited experience developing and managing real property both domestically and abroad. There can be no guarantee that our principal executive or our Managing Member will be successful at developing the property or properly managing the property once it has been built.

 

We are reliant on our Managing Member and its affiliates.

 

Part of our business plan rely on the ability of our Managing Member for the management of our assets. If any our Managing Member were to cease operations or enter bankruptcy proceedings, we may not be able to find replacements on similar terms or on any terms at all. This could result in delays in the disbursement of distributions or the filing of reports or could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We have agreed to limit remedies available to us and our members for actions by our Managing Member that might otherwise constitute a breach of duty.

 

Our Managing Member maintains a contractual, as opposed to a fiduciary relationship, with us and our member. Accordingly, we and our members only have recourse and are able to seek remedies against our Managing Member to the extent it breaches its obligations pursuant to our operating agreement. Furthermore, we have agreed to limit the liability of our Managing Member and to indemnify our Managing Member against certain liabilities. These provisions are detrimental to members because they restrict the remedies available to them for actions that without those limitations might constitute breaches of duty, including fiduciary duties. By purchasing our interests, you will be treated as having consented to the provisions set forth in the operating agreement. In addition, we may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the operating agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with our Managing Member.

 

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

 

There are conflicts of interest between us, our Managing Member and its affiliates.

 

Our Managing Member’s principal, Edwin Carrasquillo, is also the principal of Tranquillo Living, LLC, the owner of the real estate in Belize from whom the company will be leasing property on which the villas will be built. All of the agreements and arrangements between the company and Tranquillo Living, LLC as it relates to the lease of the property are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. There can be no guarantee that the terms of the lease will be as favorable to the company had they been negotiated with a third party at arm’s length.

 

Furthermore, the terms under which the villa is built, sold, or leased could be influenced by the interests of Tranquillo Living rather than those of the investors. 

 

We are dependent on Tranquillo Living’s financial condition and performance.

 

The success of the investment is partially dependent on the financial stability and performance of Tranquillo Living. If Tranquillo Living encounters financial difficulties, such as insolvency or the inability to maintain the property, it could impact the value of the investor’s interest in the villa or the potential for any future rental income or capital appreciation.

  

18 

 

 

We are dependent on the Managing Member and its affiliates and their key personnel who provide services to us through the operating agreement, and we may not find a suitable replacement if the operating agreement is terminated, or if key personnel leave or otherwise become unavailable to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our performance.

 

We do not expect to have any employees and we are completely reliant on the Managing Member to manage the company oversee our operations. We expect to benefit from the relationships and experience of the Managing Member and expect to benefit from the same resources we need for the implementation and execution of our investment strategy.  The Managing Member will have significant discretion as to the implementation of our operating policies and strategies. Accordingly, we believe that our success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts, experience, diligence, skill and relationships of the executive officers and key personnel of the Managing Member. The executive officers and key personnel of the Managing Member will evaluate, negotiate, close and monitor our properties. Our success will depend on their continued service.

 

In addition, we offer no assurance that the Managing Member will remain the managing member or that we will continue to have access to the Managing Member’s principals and professionals. If the operating agreement is terminated and no suitable replacement is found to manage us, our ability to execute our business plan will be negatively impacted.

 

The ability of the Managing Member and its officers and other personnel to engage in other business activities, including managing other similar companies, may reduce the time the Managing Member spends managing the business of our company and may result in certain conflicts of interest.

 

Other business activities may reduce the time the Managing Member spends managing our business. Further, if and when there are turbulent conditions in our industry or other times when we will need focused support and assistance from the Managing Member, the attention of the Managing Member’s personnel and executive officers and the resources of the Managing Member may also be required by other manager-sponsored vehicles. In such situations, we may not receive the level of support and assistance that we may receive if we were not managed by the Managing Member. In addition, the Managing Member and its personnel may have obligations to other entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us or any of our investors. The Managing Member’s personnel may face conflicts of interest in allocating sale, financing, leasing and other business opportunities among the real properties owned by the various companies and our series.

 

The terms of the operating agreement make it difficult to end our relationship with the manager.

 

Under the terms of the operating agreement, holders of interests in the company have the right to remove our Managing Member as managing member of our company, by a vote of two-thirds of the holders of all interests of our company voting together, in the event our Managing member is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a series of interests or our company. Unsatisfactory financial performance does not constitute grounds to terminate and remove the Managing Member under the operating agreement. These provisions make it difficult to end our company’s relationship with the Managing Member, even if we believe the Managing Member’s performance is not satisfactory. 

 

The operating agreement contains provisions that reduce or eliminate duties (including fiduciary duties) of the Managing Member.

 

The operating agreement provides that the Managing Member, in exercising its rights in its capacity as the Managing Member, will be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting us or any of our investors and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by our bylaws, or under any other law, rule or regulation or in equity. These modifications of fiduciary duties are expressly permitted by Delaware law.

 

We do not have a policy that expressly prohibits our directors, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any transaction to which we or any of our subsidiaries has an interest or engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us.

 

We do not have a policy that expressly prohibits our managers, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any asset to be acquired or disposed of by us or any of our subsidiaries or in any transaction to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or have an interest. Additionally, we do not have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us.

  

19 

 

 

The Managing Member’s liability is limited under the operating agreement, and we have agreed to indemnify the Managing Member against certain liabilities.  As a result, we may experience poor performance or losses for which the Managing Member would not be liable.

 

Pursuant to our company’s operating agreement, the Managing Member will not assume any responsibility other than to render the services called for thereunder. Under the terms of the operating agreement, the Managing Member, its officers, investors, members, managers, directors and personnel, any person controlling or controlled by the Managing Member and any person providing sub-advisory services to the Managing Member will not be liable to us, any subsidiary of ours, our board of directors, or our investors, members or partners or any subsidiary’s investors, members or partners for acts or omissions performed in accordance with and pursuant to the operating agreement, except by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties under the operating agreement. Accordingly, we and our investors will only have recourse and be able to seek remedies against the Managing Member to the extent it breaches its obligations pursuant to the operating agreement. Furthermore, we have agreed to limit the liability of the Managing Member and to indemnify the Managing Member against certain liabilities. We have agreed to reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Member, its officers, investors, members, managers, directors and personnel, and any person controlling or controlled by the Managing Member with respect to all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims in respect of, or arising from, acts or omissions of such indemnified parties not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the Managing Member’s duties, which have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, we may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the operating agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with the Managing Member.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Risk Factors Related to the Real Estate Market

 

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

 

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

 

·natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods;

 

·pandemics, such as COVID-19;

 

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

 

20 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·the potential for uninsured or underinsured property losses.

 

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

 

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

 

To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our coastal destinations could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels causing damage to our properties and result in reduced bookings at these properties. Climate change may also affect our business by increasing the cost of, or making unavailable, property insurance on terms we find acceptable in areas most vulnerable to such events, increasing operating costs, including the cost of water or energy, and requiring us to expend funds to repair and protect our properties in connection with such events. For instance, our Series 1 asset located in Belize could be adversely impacted by climatic conditions such as rising sea levels, increased intensity of hurricanes, subsidence and erosion. If some of those events were to occur the property and land may be unusable or we may incur significant damages as well as costs to repair or maintain our asset. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

21 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

22 

 

 

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

 

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

 

Series that own vacation rental properties are subject to legal and regulatory risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

 

The alternative accommodation industry is subject to regulatory risks related to an evolving regime. For example, certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions have adopted or are considering statutes or ordinances that prohibit or limit the ability of property owners and managers to rent certain properties for fewer than 30 consecutive days, including laws that place many difficult obligations on property owners that must be complied with to offer their properties, or that regulate platforms’ ability to list alternative accommodations, including prohibiting the listing of unlicensed properties. Other domestic and foreign jurisdictions may introduce similar regulations. Many homeowners, condominium and neighbourhood associations have adopted rules that prohibit or restrict short-term rentals. In addition, many of the laws that impose taxes or other obligations on travel and lodging companies were established before the growth of the internet and the alternative accommodation industry, which creates a risk of those laws being interpreted in ways not originally intended that could burden property owners and managers or otherwise harm our business. Governments also are looking at additional taxes specific to alternative accommodations that, if implemented, could make the business of operating an alternative accommodation less attractive or prohibitively expensive.

 

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

 

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

 

23 

 

 

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

 

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

 

The alternative accommodations market is cyclical and adverse global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth could adversely affect our revenues and profitability as well as cause a decline in or limitation of our future growth.

 

Consumer demand for our products and services is closely linked to global and regional economic conditions and is sensitive to business and personal discretionary spending levels. Changes in consumer demand and general business cycles can subject, and have subjected, our revenues to significant volatility. Adverse general economic conditions, health and safety concerns, risks or restrictions affecting or reducing travel patterns, lower consumer confidence, high unemployment, or adverse political conditions can result in a decline in consumer demand, which can lower the revenues and profitability by leading to decreased bookings, cancellations and lower rental rates.

 

If economic weakness were to affect any particular regions of the world, specifically where a Series Underlying Asset is located, it could have an adverse impact on our revenues and negatively affect our profitability.

 

In addition to general economic conditions, new alternative accommodation as well as hotel room supply is an important factor that can affect our industry's performance. Excessive growth in lodging supply could result in returns that are substantially below expectations or result in losses, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues, profitability, and future growth prospects.

 

As a result of these trends, the company may reduce revenue, potentially resulting in losses and lower resale value of properties, which may reduce your return.

 

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

 

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

 

24 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

25 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. For instance, the asset to be developed by Series 1 will be located in Belize which is subject to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums the company pays for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, to the extent the company finances the acquisition of an Underlying Asset, mortgage lenders in some cases insist that property owners purchase coverage against flooding as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at reasonable costs, which could inhibit the company’s ability to finance or refinance its properties if so required. In such instances, the company may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. The company may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of the properties incur a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of the assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which may reduce the value of investor interests. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves the company may establish, the company has no additional sources of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent the company must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, it could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to investors.

Risks Related to Forum Selection and Jury Waivers

 

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

 

Investors in this offering will be bound by the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement, both of which include a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim, other than claims arising under federal securities laws, that they may have against the company arising out of or relating to these agreements. By signing these agreements, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.

 

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

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

 

Plan of Distribution

 

We are offering, on a best efforts basis, Series Interests of each of the open Series of our company in the “Series Offering Table” herein. The offering price for each Series was determined by our Managing Member.

 

The company plans to market the securities directly on a “best efforts” basis. The company intends to use its website and an offering landing page to offer the Series Interests to eligible investors. The officers, directors, employees, and advisors of the company or its Managing Member may participate in the offering. When applicable, the company intends to prepare written materials and respond to investors after the investors initiate contact with the company, however no officers, directors, employees or advisors to the company or its Managing Member will orally solicit investors.

 

The Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors in this offering via download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the company’s website https://whimsy.xyz.

We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason. If the offering terminates or if any prospective investor’s subscription is rejected, all funds received from such investors will be returned without interest or deduction.

 

After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the company for its use. At the initial closing, Whimsy, our Managing Member, must purchase a minimum of 1% and may purchase a maximum of 51% of Series Interests through the Offering, or such other minimum and maximum percentage amount as set forth in the applicable Series Certificate of Designations.

We will conduct separate closings with respect to each offering of Series Interests. The termination of an offering for a Series will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold, (ii) or the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company at its sole discretion, (iii) one year from the date such offering circular or amendment thereof, as applicable, is originally qualified by the Commission in the event the series does not reach the minimum offering amount. The company intends to create additional Series that may be added to this offering only upon qualification of an amendment to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part. The offering of Series Interests pursuant to the Offering Statement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount of all Series Interests has been sold, (ii) the date which is three years from the date such offering circular or amendment thereof, as applicable, is qualified by the Commission, or (iii) any date on which our Managing Member elects to terminate this offering in its sole discretion.

The company has also engaged Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”) a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA, to perform the following administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

As compensation for the services listed above, the company has agreed to pay Dalmore a commission equal to 1% of the amount raised in the offering to support the offering on all newly invested funds after the issuance of a No Objection Letter by FINRA. In addition, the company has paid Dalmore a $5,000 one-time advance expense allowance to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore in connection with this offering. Dalmore will refund any amount related to this expense allowance to the extent it is not used, incurred or provided to the company. The company has also agreed to pay Dalmore a one-time consulting fee of $20,000 to provide ongoing general consulting services relating to this offering such as coordination with third party vendors and general guidance with respect to the offering, which will be due and payable within 30 days after this offering is qualified by the SEC and the receipt of a No Objection Letter from FINRA.  Assuming the offering is fully-subscribed, the company estimates that total fees due to pay Dalmore, including the one-time advance expense allowance fee of $5,000 and consulting fee of $20,000, would be $32,300.

31 

 

 

Any potential investor will have ample time and is advised to review the Subscription Agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision.

 

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

 

Escrow Agent

 

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

 

The Escrow Agent is not participating as an underwriter or placement agent or sales agent of this offering and will not solicit any investment in the company, recommend the company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such, or distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors. The use of the Escrow Agent’s technology should not be interpreted and is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by it of the company or this offering. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to the company.

 

For its services, the Escrow Agent will receive fees of approximately $14,300, assuming the maximum offering amount is raised in this offering.

Selling Securityholders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the company.

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

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

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the agreement, other than claims arising under federal securities laws. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. In addition, by agreeing to the provision, subscribers will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Series #1

 

Assuming a maximum raise of $730,000, and after deducting brokerage commissions of $7,300 (representing fees to Dalmore but excluding other offering expenses that will be apportioned among all Series as discussed in footnote 2 below), the net proceeds of this offering of Series #1 Interests would be approximately $722,700. The table below sets forth the uses of proceeds of the company’s Series #1 Interests.

The minimum offering amount is $445,000, resulting in $440,550 of net proceeds after deducting brokerage commissions, which we would use first to purchase the property and the balance would be applied to the sourcing fee. The company may chose to expense the balance of the sourcing fee, which would be deducted from revenues generated by the Series #1 property, or increase its investment in Series #1 Interests to cover the balance of the sourcing fee.

 

The company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of the company.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Whimsy Properties was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 1, 2024. Whimsy Properties is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

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

 

Whimsy Properties is a wholly owned subsidiary of Whimsy. As discussed in further in the Operating Agreement of Whimsy Properties, Whimsy is the Managing Member of Whimsy Properties. Whimsy was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 18, 2022. Whimsy is a real estate investment platform that allows individual investors to have direct access to quality long and short term rental real estate investment opportunities and invest in individual rental properties.

 

Intended Business Process

 

Generally, the company and Whimsy intend to arrange for the purchase or lease of a specific short and long term property either directly by the Series or by Whimsy or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, as described below:

 

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

 

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

 

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

Property Overview

 

On July 31, 2024, Whimsy Properties established Series #1 for the purpose of developing the first villa on the property located at 15290 Block 7, San Pedro West Caye, 3 miles northwest of San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize District, Belize (“Belize Property”). The Belize Property is currently owned by Tranquillo Living LLC, an affiliate of the company (the “Property Owner”). The first villa will be a single family 2 bedroom unit. This Series will lease a portion of the Belize Property from the Property Owner for a term of 10 years. The lease will automatically renew at the conclusion of the term for additional 1-year periods. In the event the lease is terminated, the company will have an additional year to renegotiate the terms of the lease or sell the buildings on the property. If the buildings are not sold and no renegotiated lease is agreed upon in that time then the tenant must continue renewing the lease until the properties are sold or allow the property owner to buy the buildings at a discounted market price. The above information is preliminary and should not be considered indicative of future performance.  See “Risk Factors – The performance of any real estate asset is likely to fluctuate significantly due to seasonality.”

~Represents the total acreage of the property. Additional units not owned or developed by this series will be built on the property in the future.

 

Property Management

 

The company entered the property management agreement on December 3, 2024. If the villa is not built and operational within twelve months of execution, the agreement will be null and void. The terms, which may be amended from time to time by the company and the property manager, for the first series are as set forth below. There is currently only one property manager in the area, Isla Bonita Property Management.

 

Authority: The property manager shall have sole authority and complete discretion over the care, custody, maintenance and management of the property for Series 1 and may take any action that it deems necessary or desirable in connection with such property, subject to the limits set for in the agreement. The property manager will collect rental payments, pay any and all taxes associated with the property, complete the annual hotel license renewal application, and provide quarterly and annual profit and loss statements.

 

Compensation and Expenses: Series 1 will pay, monthly, the following fees for the associated services:

 

- $400 plus 12.5% goods and services tax for services related to physical property management which will include property inspections, taking photographs of the property to enable the company to see conditions of the property, contracting for or making repairs as needed, managing the exterior of the property, supply acquisition, and staff management.
- $200 plus 12.5% goods and services tax for services related to accounting services which will include collection of guest rental payments, Belize Tourism Board BTB accounting and payment of hotel tax, payment of business taxes, payment of utilities, and preparation of quarterly and annual profit and loss statements.

 

In the event that a dollar amount equal to 20% of rental income collected by the company for a given month would be higher than the combined fees described above, than the property manager will receive such amount in lieu of the fees described above. 

 

The fees payable to the property manager described above include certain guest services to include managing online booking sites, replying to guest inquiries, payment processing, confirming reservations, arranging guest tours and excursions, managing guest check in, overseeing housekeeping, and managing overall guess experience and resolving complaints.

 

36 

 

 

Each Series will bear all expenses of the applicable Underlying Asset and shall reimburse the property manager for any such expenses paid by the property manager on behalf of the applicable Series together with a reasonable rate of interest.

 

Duration and Termination: The agreement shall expire one year after the date on which it is signed and renewed annually by agreement of the company and the property manager.

 

Market Outlook

 

Short-term Rental Market

 

General

 

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

 

In Q1 2023, short-term rental demand grew by 16% compared to Q1 2022. The increase in demand has been driven by the pandemic as people choose vacation rentals over hotels for privacy and flexibility. The demand for short term rental platforms continues to grow.

 

Series #1 – Villa #1 on the Belize Property

 

Our initial villa will be a single family 2 bedroom unit which will be developed on a property located at 15290 Block 7, San Pedro West Caye, 3 miles northwest of San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize District, Belize.

 

We anticipate that the modern designed luxury building will be used for short term vacation rentals. The single family style property will be a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit with an open kitchen/living room floor plan concept. The building will have stairs leading to the second floor where you can find the master bedroom and bathroom of the property. Downstairs is where you can find the first bedroom and shared bathroom amongst the kitchen and living room space which all share a front door access to the exterior of the property.

 

We anticipate that the property will be 100% self-sustaining. This means that all power and water will be built into the design of the home. Electricity on the property will function off of solar power and battery energy storage and a butane generator for backup. Water will be separated into two types; Drinking and Waste.

 

37 

 

 

-Rain water catch & filter and purchased water from local delivery services will be used for drinking water

 

-Waste water will utilize an on location septic system

 


The design of the property will be a steel frame and ECO EPS Cement Panel building system. This system generally makes building fast and effective and is able to withstand up to category 4 hurricane winds. The interlocking design makes the construction a faster process and reduces the necessary labor that a traditional build would require. This also reduces the need to mix materials on location and should speed up set up time as well. We can benefit from both time and labor savings which we intend to reinvest into the property for additional amenities that will attract future bookings.

 

Seasonality

 

The Ambergris Caye Secret Beach location has a strong seasonal tourism season due to its location in the Caribbean. 8 months a year Belize is booming with tourism. It is only during the rainy season that vacation traffic is lower.

 

The Company believes that when rented out it will be able to charge approximately $290-$386 nightly, based on its internal research and calculations of comparable units. The amount received per unit will be variable based on competition, weather, etc. and a host of variables beyond our control.

 

Marketing/Distribution Channels

 

Location

 

Because the area that we are developing on is very new and underdeveloped we believe this will enable us to be one of the very few in the popular Secret Beach location. Currently, there are not that many rentals in the area that are more than 1 bed/ 1 bath units. We believe this luxury unit will give tourists an additional option that was never there before.

 

Marketing

 

Below representants some of our current plans to attached guests:

 

·Travel Influencers: We plan to work with travel influencers on YouTube that generate between 200k-700k views per video targeting remote workers and self-employed professionals.

 

38 

 

 

·Social Media Campaigns: We plan to use paid social media campaigns focused on video content about the accommodations and activities available on Ambergris Caye to generate bookings.

 

·Social Media Content: We plan to create content to increase interest in our location as well as to attract interest in the area.

 

·Multi-Platform Listings: We plan to use multiple platforms and have the technical expertise to arrange for use of this system without overbooking a location. Our main focus will be on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Hopper and Bonvoy by Marriott.

 

Competition

 

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

 

Employees

 

Whimsy Properties does not currently have any employees.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The company does not hold any registrable intellectual property.

 

Regulation

 

All accommodations in Belize must meet tourism industry quality standards and meet the requirements set forth in the Hotels And Tourist Accommodation Act, Chapter 285 of the Laws of Belize Revised Edition 2011 and the Hotels And Tourist Accommodation Act, Chapter 285S Of The Laws Of Belize Revised Edition 2003.

 

There is a registration process that must be completed prior to advertising with any marketing and/or booking agents such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Homeaway, Trip Advisor etc. The registration process, in addition to fees includes a whole binder materials including certification, approval from local town (if applicable), occupancy certification and may include an inspection to check on the items such as signage and appropriate furnishings. The process can take several months.

 

39 

 

 

In addition, in Belize, we must also comply with the taxes, licensing requirements and other regulations, including:

 

·Rental taxes and certifications (e.g., “Tourism Gold Standard Certification”)

 

·Construction approvals (e.g., environment processing approval; building clearance to start building)

 

·Health and Fire Department inspection and clearance
   
 ·Occupancy Certification

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

 

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

 

Overview

 

Whimsy Properties LLC was formed on February 1, 2024 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware. Whimsy Properties is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

Whimsy is the company’s Managing Member. As the company’s Managing Member, it will manage the company’s day-to-day operations. Whimsy is also the Managing Member of each Series.

 

Going Concern

 

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

 

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

 

42 

 

 

Results of Operations

 

The company was formed on February 1, 2024 and has had no significant operations and no revenues since that date. The company’s sole asset is deferred offering costs, which are charged to member’s equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of June 30, 2024 and February 1, 2024 (Inception), the company has deferred $48,179 and $44,250 of offering costs, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

Plan of Operations

 

Once this Offering is complete, Whimsy plans to accomplish the following in the following 12 months:

 

Months 1-2

 

Pre-construction preparation, permitting and surveying.

 

Months 3 – 6

 

Construction and furnishing

  

Month 7

 

List property and hire property management

 

Month 8 - 12

 

Focus on nothing but promotion using our planned marketing/distribution channel strategies. The goal here is to funnel enough customers so that we can start generating income within the first month of going live on the booking websites.

 

Trend Information

A host of factors beyond the company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including but not limited to: recession, downturn or otherwise; government policies surrounding tenant rights; local ordinances where properties reside as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; travel restrictions; changes in the real estate market; and interest-rate fluctuations. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

For our sole Series, Whimsy Properties LLC - Series #1, Whimsy LLC is the managing member.

 

Whimsy Properties is managed by its Managing Member, Whimsy LLC. Whimsy LLC is operated by the following executives and directors all work for the company on a full time basis.

 

Edwin Carrasquillo, Chief Executive Officer and Manager of Whimsy LLC

 

Mr. Carrasquillo has been the CEO and Manager of our manager, Whimsy LLC, since 2022. He worked at Datadog.inc as a Sales Engineering Regional Director

from 2018 until February 2023. Edwin built a globally reaching team in the LATAM region for the Datadog company. This team was built from the ground up and strategically aligned with the sales organization so that we could hire and on board new sales engineers as the sales team continued to grow year over year. This was not only the team that Edwin built and managed in his tenure at Datadog. Edwin’s main obligation was the North America’s team for 1 year until later training the next leader for our eventual split of the region into East & West. Towards the end of Edwin’s career at Datadog he grew the East team to a sizable 35 sales engineers and trained and promoted 7 of them to become his team leads to manage their individual offices. This East coast team later was split once again into North and South for the region. The final metrics that can be shared is that for the year the East coast and LATAM teams generated and closed over $10M in new revenue for the final quarter of the year before Edwin’s departure from the company. These skills attest to Edwin’s ability to build and grow successful and efficient teams that can produce results that led to an overall company success.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

 

Proposed Transactions

 

Real Estate Lease

 

Series #1 will enter into a lease agreement with Tranquillo Living, an affiliate of the company, to lease the Belize property. The lease term will commence on January 1, 2025, and will end on December 31, 2035. Series #1 will pay a monthly lease payment of $350, due on the first of each month throughout the initial term. Upon the expiration of the initial term, the lease will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless either party provides written notice of termination at least 90 days before the expiration of the current term. The monthly lease payment for any renewal term will be adjusted to $500, subject to mutually agreed upon adjustments based on market rates..

 

All of the agreements and arrangements between the company and Tranquillo Living, LLC as it relates to the lease of the property are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. There can be no guarantee that the terms of the lease will be as favorable to the company had they been negotiated with a third party at arm’s length.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

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

 

General

 

The managing member of Whimsy is also the key professional of Whimsy Properties and has legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to the company. In addition, in the future, any manager of Whimsy and other affiliates of Whimsy may organize other real estate-related entities.

 

Allocation of the Company’s Affiliates’ Time

 

The company relies on Whimsy’s real estate professionals and other staff, who act on behalf of Whimsy and the company for the day-to-day operation of their respective businesses. Mr. Carrasquillo is the Chief Executive Officer and managing member of Whimsy, the Managing Member of the company, as well as the sole member and Manager of Tranquillo Living and the other affiliates of Whimsy. As a result of his interests in other Whimsy entities, his obligations to other investors and the fact that he engages in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of himself and others, Mr. Carrasquillo will face conflicts of interest in allocating his time among the company, Whimsy, other related entities and other business activities in which he is involved, and we may not receive the level of support and assistance that we might otherwise receive if we were internally managed.

 

Negotiation of Agreements

 

Mr. Carrasquillo is the Chief Executive Officer and managing member of Whimsy, the Managing Member of the company, as well as the sole member and Manager of Tranquillo Living and the other affiliates of Whimsy.  As a result, he and other future employees, if any, who have similar roles will have a conflict of interest with respect to our agreements and arrangements with the manager and/or affiliates of the manager, which were not negotiated at arm’s length, and their terms may not have been as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated at arm’s length with an unaffiliated third party.  For instance, the proposed lease for Series #1, see “Proposed Transactions – Real Estate Lease” above.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

The following descriptions of the company’s Series Interests, certain provisions of Delaware law, the Series Designation for each Series and the Operating Agreement are summaries and are qualified by reference to Delaware law, the Series Designation of the relevant Series and the Operating Agreement.

Managing Member, Whimsy

 

Whimsy is the Managing Member of each Series.

 

The Managing Member may amend any of the terms of the Operating Agreement of Whimsy Properties or any Series Designation as it determines in its sole discretion. However, no amendment to the Operating Agreement may be made without the consent of the holders holding a majority of the outstanding Series Interests, that: (i) decreases the percentage of outstanding Series Interests required to take any action under the Agreement; (ii) materially adversely affects the rights of any of the members holding Series Interests (including adversely affecting the holders of any particular Series Interests as compared to holders of other Series Interests); (iii) modifies Section 11.1(a) of the Operating Agreement or gives any person the right to dissolve the company; or (iv) modifies the term of the company.

·         the creation of such reserves as the Managing Member deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future operating expenses,

 

48 

 

 

will be applied and distributed, first, 100% to the members of such Series on a pro rata basis (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include the Managing Member or its affiliates that hold Series Interests) until the Members have received back 100% of their Capital Contribution, and, second 20% to the Managing Member and 80% to the Members of such Series on a pro rata basis.

 

“Free Cash Flows” means any available cash for distribution generated from the net income received by a Series, as determined by the Managing Member to be in the nature of income as defined by U.S. GAAP, plus (i) any change in the net working capital (as shown on the balance sheet of such Series) (ii) any amortization of the relevant Underlying Asset (as shown on the income statement of such Series) and (iii) any depreciation of the relevant Underlying Asset (as shown on the income statement of such Series) and (iv) any other non-cash Operating Expenses less (a) any capital expenditure related to the Underlying Asset (as shown on the cash flow statement of such Series) (b) any other liabilities or obligations of the Series, including interest payments on debt obligations and tax liabilities, in each case to the extent not already paid or provided for and (c) upon the termination and winding up of a Series or the Company, all costs and expenses incidental to such termination and winding as allocated to the relevant Series in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, net income received by a Series shall reflect the deduction of applicable Property Management Fees and Asset Management Fees as expenses of the Series.

 

Asset Management Fees

 

On a quarterly basis beginning on the first quarter end date following the initial closing date of the issuance of Series Interests, the Series shall pay the Managing Member an asset management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 1.50% (6% annualized) of Asset Value as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.

 

“Asset Value” at any date means the fair market value of assets in a Series representing the purchase price that a willing buyer having all relevant knowledge would pay a willing seller for such assets in an arm’s length transaction, determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion.

 

Restrictions on Transfer

 

No Transfer of any Series Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective, and no transferee will become a substituted Member, unless the written consent of the Managing Member has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Furthermore, no transfer of any Series Interests, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective unless the Managing Member determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the company that such transfer will not, unless waived by the Managing Member:

 

49 

 

 

·         result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of 19.9% of the aggregate outstanding Series Interests;

 

·         result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series, as specified in Section 12(g)(1)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act, unless the Series Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

 

·         cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;

 

·         adversely affect the company or such Series, or subject the company, the Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause the company to be disqualified as a limited liability company or subject the company, any Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective affiliates to any tax to which it would not otherwise be subject;

 

·         require registration of the company, any Series or any Series Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

 

·          violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Member.

 

Voting Rights

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

50 

 

 

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

 

Confidential Information

 

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

 

Reports to Members

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

52 

 

 

Other Rights

 

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

 

Forum Selection Provisions

 

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

53

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As of June 30, 2024 and for the period from February 1, 2024 (inception) to June 30, 2024

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Whimsy Properties LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on February 1, 2024. The Company was formed to permit public investment in individual residential construction projects, each of which will be held by a separate property-owning subsidiary owned by a separate series of limited liability interests, or “Series”, that management intends to establish. The Company is managed by Whimsy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and managing member of the Company (the “Manager”).

 

As a Delaware series limited liability company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such Series, as provided under Delaware law.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not yet commenced operations. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to commence the Company’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company has adopted a calendar year as its fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to member’s equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of June 30, 2024 and February 1, 2024 (Inception), the Company has deferred $48,179 and $44,250 of offering costs, respectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As of June 30, 2024 and for the period from February 1, 2024 (inception) to June 30, 2024

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.

 

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

Revenues will be recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

No revenue has been earned or recognized as of June 30, 2024.

 

Expense Allocations

 

Each Series is responsible for its costs to acquire the Series asset, brokerage fee, offering expenses, acquisition expenses and sourcing fee. Each Series shall be responsible also for its operating expenses. The Company’s Manager will allocate any common costs to the applicable Series following its judgment and allocation policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As of June 30, 2024 and for the period from February 1, 2024 (inception) to June 30, 2024

 

Organizational Costs

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a limited liability company. Accordingly, under the Internal Revenue Code, all taxable income or loss flows through to its members. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the statements. Income from the Company is reported and taxed to the members on their individual tax returns. The Company intends for each Series to elect to be taxed as a corporation.

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statement, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

 

The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception.  The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.    

 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not commenced planned principal operations, plans to incur significant costs in pursuit of its capital financing plans, and has not generated any revenues or profits as of June 30, 2024. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to obtain capital financing from investors sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such capital to produce profitable operating results. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statement of Whimsy Properties LLC (the “Company”) which comprises the balance sheet as of February 1, 2024 (inception), and the related notes to the financial statement.

 

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of February 1, 2024 (inception) 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 (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement 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 audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

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

 

The accompanying financial statement has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company has not commenced planned principal operations, plans to incur significant costs in pursuit of its capital financing plans, and has not generated any revenues or profits as of February 1, 2024 (inception). These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statement

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement 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 the financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statement, 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 financial statement is available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, 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 financial statements.

 

·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. 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 financial statement.

 

·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.

WHIMSY PROPERTIES LLC

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT

As of February 1, 2024 (inception)

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Whimsy Properties LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on February 1, 2024. The Company was formed to permit public investment in real estate, each of which will be held by a separate property-owning subsidiary owned by a separate series of limited liability interests, or “Series”, that management intends to establish. The Company is managed by Whimsy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and managing member of the Company (the “Manager”).

 

As a Delaware series limited liability company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such Series, as provided under Delaware law.

 

As of February 1, 2024 (inception), the Company has not yet commenced operations. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to commence the Company’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company has adopted a calendar year as its fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to member’s equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of February 1, 2024 (inception), the Company has deferred $44,250 of offering costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT

As of February 1, 2024 (inception)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.

 

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

Revenues will be recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

No revenue has been earned or recognized as of February 1, 2024 (inception).

 

Expense Allocations

 

Each Series is responsible for its costs to acquire the Series asset, brokerage fee, offering expenses, acquisition expenses and sourcing fee. Each Series shall be responsible also for its operating expenses. The Company’s Manager will allocate any common costs to the applicable Series following its judgment and allocation policies.

 

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

Organizational Costs

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

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a limited liability company. Accordingly, under the Internal Revenue Code, all taxable income or loss flows through to its members. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the statements. Income from the Company is reported and taxed to the members on their individual tax returns. The Company intends for each Series to elect to be taxed as a corporation.

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statement, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statement. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

 

The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception.  The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.

 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying balance sheet has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not commenced planned principal operations, plans to incur significant costs in pursuit of its capital financing plans, and has not generated any revenues or profits as of February 1, 2024 (inception). These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to obtain capital financing from investors sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such capital to produce profitable operating results. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement, the Manager will provide certain management and advisory services, as well as management team and appropriate support personnel to the Company and to each of the Company’s series and subsidiaries, if any.

 

The Manager will be responsible for directing the management of our business and affairs, managing our day-to-day affairs, and implementing our investment strategy. The Manager has a unilateral ability to amend the operating agreement and the allocation policy in certain circumstances without the consent of the investors.
