PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR

 

 

 

Up to 12,500,000 Shares of CaliberCos Inc. Series B Preferred Stock convertible into 12,500,000 Shares of CaliberCos Inc. Class A Common Stock

Minimum Individual Investment: 500 Shares $2,000.00

 

CaliberCos Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “Caliber”, “us” or “we”), is a leading vertically integrated regional private equity real estate sponsor providing a full suite of traditional real estate services. We own, operate, and invest in real estate both on our own and through our investment management platform. We are offering a minimum number of 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a maximum number of 12,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into our Class A Common Stock. The offering price of each share of Series B Preferred Stock is $4.00 (the “Offering Price”). The conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock is at no additional cost and therefore the Offering Price includes the conversion price. This offering circular qualifies both the shares of Series B Preferred Stock offered hereby and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares.

 

This offering is being conducted on a “best-efforts” basis. We intend to offer and sell our Series B Preferred Stock in this offering to accredited investors and non-accredited investors. We have engaged SI Securities, LLC to serve as our lead placement agent and managing broker-dealer to assist in the placement of our Series B Preferred Stock. We will pay SI Securities, LLC in accordance with the terms of an Issuer Agreement between the Company and SI Securities, LLC, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. SI Securities, LLC may engage sales agents in connection with the offering to assist with the placement of our Series B Preferred Stock. The Company and its officers will not receive any commission or any other remuneration for any sales of Series B Preferred Stock. See “Plan of Distribution”.

 

The aggregate initial offering price of Series B Preferred Stock will not exceed $50,000,000 in any 12-month period. We expect to offer Series B Preferred Stock in this offering until the earlier of  (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold; (ii) February 28, 2021, the date that is 12 months from the date that this offering is qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission) or (iii) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion, which may occur at any time. The Company will undertake closings at least once a month on the first business day of each month once the minimum offering amount is sold. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available by The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (“Bryn Mawr”) to the Company. The Company has engaged Bryn Mawr as escrow agent to hold funds tendered by investors. In the event we have not sold the minimum amount of shares by the earlier of: (i) the date that is six months from the date that this offering is qualified by the Commission; or (ii) the date the offering has been terminated by the Company, any money tendered by potential investors will be promptly returned by Bryn Mawr.

 

 

 

 

The proceeds of this offering will be used primarily for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness and the cost of this offering. Approximately $7.8 million will be used to redeem shares of Class A Common Stock held by our executive management team and a significant beneficial owner on a pro rata basis. The per share price of the shares to be so redeemed is equal to the per share price of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock offered by means of this offering circular. Management believed the repurchase price represented the fair market value of the shares to be so redeemed. No shares shall be redeemed until an aggregate of $5.0 million of shares offered pursuant to this offering circular have been purchased and after an aggregate of $25.0 million of shares offered pursuant to this offering circular have been purchased, no additional shares of Class A Common Stock held by such persons. In connection therewith, an applicable number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by members of our executive management team will convert on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock to be so redeemed. See “Use of Proceeds”. For a description of the total amount each individual member of our executive management team and a significant beneficial owner will receive if the Company raises $25 million, see “Interest Of Management and Others in Certain Transactions — Repurchase and Redemption of Shares” in the Offering Circular

 

The Series B Preferred Stock has limited rights, preferences and privileges which are substantially unlike traditionally offered shares of preferred stock. For more information on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being offered, see “Securities Being Offered — Series B Preferred Stock”.

 

Series B Preferred Stock may be purchased by accredited investors and non-accredited investors. This offering circular does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sales of Series B Preferred Stock in any states where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful, prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state.

Incorporation by Reference of Offering Circular

 

The Offering Circular, including this PQA No. 2, is part of an Offering Statement (File No. 024-11016) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We hereby incorporate by reference into this PQA No. 2 (i) all information contained in the Offering Circular to the extent permitted pursuant to General Instruction III(a)(2) of Form 1-A and (ii) Items 1 through 6 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 1-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on June 19, 2020. Information incorporated by reference to the Offering Circular is further amended, updated and/or replaced as set forth below under “Amended and Updated Information”. Note that any statement that we make in this PQA No. 2 (or have made in the Offering Circular) may be further modified or superseded by us in a subsequent offering circular supplement or post-qualification amendment.

 

Amended and Updated Information

 

The following sections of the Offering Circular are amended as set forth below.

 

Summary – Recent Update

 

The following disclosure is added on page 3 of the Offering Circular under the Section entitled “Summary – Recent Update”:

   

 1 

 

 

Disclosures with respect to COVID-19

 

Recently, there is an ongoing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) first identified in China which has since spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic which has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities for the past few months domestically and abroad. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe there is a risk that our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be adversely affected, especially for our hospitality related investments where we are already starting to experience significant declines in occupancy and reductions in reservations. It is unclear whether the effects of COVID-19 will have a lasting and prolonged effect on asset values in the long term. The extent and pervasiveness of the impact to our results of operations will also depend on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 or mitigate its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.

 

The reduction in travel has adversely affected the hospitality industry on a global basis. Due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the indeterminate length of time it will affect the hospitality industry, we have taken certain proactive measures to address liquidity, capital preservation and cost mitigation:

 

·All of our hotels currently remain open, despite the current low occupancy caused by the COVID-19 disruption. In response to the effects of COVID-19 on our business, we have reduced operating costs (including reducing food and beverage operations in accordance with government regulations and furloughing any non-essential employees) and are expected to continue to remain open so long as incremental savings are achieved as compared to the cost of closure of one or more properties.

 

·We have been proactively pursuing alternative uses and sources of revenue from our hotel properties such as providing housing for first responders and healthcare workers through our Operation Sleep Safe initiative and providing special government rates for essential workers.

 

·We have significantly reduced staffing levels at our hotels to further preserve cash.

 

·We have maintained essential management and sales staffing to allow our hotels to capture new business when the hotel market begins to correct.

 

·We are acting as an early adopter, to the extent our hotels are brand-franchised, of brand led cleaning and wellness initiatives to re-assure guests of the Company’s commitment to safe travel.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

CaliberCos Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CaliberCos Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

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

 

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

Note 1 – Organization and Liquidity

 

CaliberCos Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “Caliber”, “we”, “our”, and “us”), is an asset manager of private equity real estate funds and provider of a full suite of traditional real estate services. The Company was formed in November 2014, and originally began as Caliber Companies, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, which commenced operations in January 2009. Our real estate asset management business includes the management of our own self syndicated private equity real estate funds and direct real estate investments in residential, commercial, and hospitality assets. We also provide capital raising services to the private equity real estate funds we manage. The Company provides real estate services for assets it manages, as well as for third party customers, including construction, development, real estate brokerage, and property management services. In addition to providing asset management and real estate services, the Company owns a portfolio of single-family homes which are held for rental and/or sale. Our business is organized into eight reportable segments, which we analyze in two categories (i) real estate services (Fund Management, Construction & Development, Property Management and Real Estate Brokerage) and (ii) real estate operations (Hospitality, Residential, Commercial, and Diversified). As of December 31, 2019, we had operations in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utah.

 

In general, our private equity real estate funds are organized as operating partnerships, in which multiple unrelated passive investors own partnership interests. In addition, we are designated as the manager and/or general partner of the partnership. Depending on the legal structure and arrangements between us and the funds, we may or may not consolidate the partnerships for financial reporting purposes. For funds in which we are determined to be the controlling party for financial reporting purposes, the fund is consolidated, and the passive investors’ ownership is presented as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For funds in which we are not determined to be the controlling party for financial reporting purposes, the fund is not consolidated, and any fees earned from the fund are included in fund management revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more detail.

 

In December 2019, the Company filed a Form 1-A related to a Regulation A offering (“Reg A Offering”). Reg A is an exemption to the securities registration requirement found in the Securities Act of 1933 which allow private companies to make exempt public offerings of up to $50 million in securities, as required by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. Concurrently with the Reg A Offering, the Company entered into an agreement with SI Securities, LLC regarding the Company’s proposed offering of Series B preferred stock (“Series B”) convertible into Class A common stock pursuant to the Reg A Offering. In January and February 2020, the Company made amendments to and refiled its Form 1-A to its Reg A Offering. The offering was subsequently qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2020.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has four separate real estate loans outstanding, with outside lenders, totaling $35,265,000 as of December 31, 2019. These loans have various maturity dates within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date these financial statements were issued. The majority of these loans include extension options which allow the Company to extend the maturity dates ranging from six months to two years, subject to certain terms and conditions. Management is actively managing the extensions of the applicable loans, pay off, or refinancing of these facilities and believes that we will be able to enter into new financing arrangements with third-party lenders. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available. See Note 6 – Notes Payable for additional details.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. First identified in late 2019, the outbreak has impacted thousands of individuals worldwide. In response, federal, state and local governments have imposed measures to combat the outbreak, which have impacted global business operations. Due to government travel restrictions, mandated closure of businesses, among other actions, our hospitality segment was significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19. Our hotels from mid-March 2020 through June 2020 have experienced significant declines in occupancy and reservations. Furthermore, there has been a recent spike in the number of reported COVID-19 cases in the state of Arizona where a substantial portion of the Company’s business and operations is located.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty in the outbreak, we are not in a position to predict when normal business operations will resume; however, the Company is taking actions to reduce costs and improve business operations including, but not limited to, (i) implementation of remote work arrangements effective mid-March, and to date, these arrangements have not materially affected our ability to maintain our business operations; (ii) suspending any unnecessary capital improvements to our assets, unless for fire, life and safety; (iii) reducing food and beverage operations, within our hotels, in accordance with government regulations; (iv) furloughing any non-essential employees; (v) participating in the Paycheck Protection Program and other Small Business Administration and other governmental relief programs; and (vi) having constant communications with lenders to receive additional facilities, convert current reserves into operational reserves and suspend the minimum debt service coverage ratio requirement for a 12 month period. Through May 2020, we were successful at obtaining a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, through the CARES Act, for our real estate services division and each one of our individual hotel entities. The amounts of the PPP loans received total approximately $5.1 million.

 

According to the PPP terms the loans may be forgiven if the PPP loan proceeds are used for permitted expenses, as outlined in the CARES Act, including 75% of the PPP loan proceeds being used for payroll related costs. The amount that may be forgiven will be calculated in part with reference to the Company's full-time headcount during the eight-week period following the funding of the PPP loan. The portion of the PPP loan not used within the allotted time will be subject to an interest rate of 1% per annum and will require monthly principal and interest payments.

 

In addition, as a result of COVID-19, the Company launched Operation Sleep Safe, which provides assistance to medical staff and front-line responders in our community with free hotel rooms in hotel properties which we own. While the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of its hospitality segment was significantly impacted the overall impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, we will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on our business.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our consolidated subsidiaries, which include variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where we are considered the primary beneficiary and voting interest entities (“VOEs”), where we have determined that we have a controlling financial interest, under the “Consolidations” Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (Topic 810). The equity and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

CALIBERCOS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

We determine if an entity is a VIE based on several factors, including whether the equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We make judgments regarding which types of activities most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. We analyze any investments in VIEs to determine if we are the primary beneficiary. A reporting entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE.

 

Determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is primarily a qualitative analysis focused on identifying which reporting entity has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgement. We consolidate any VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary and disclose significant VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary, as well as disclose our maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs that are consolidated. See Note 3 – VIEs for more detail.

 

Voting Interest Entities

 

Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally assessed for consolidation as VOEs. For VOEs, we consolidate the entity if we have a controlling financial interest in the entity. We have a controlling financial interest in a VOE if (i) for legal entities other than partnerships, we own a majority voting interest in the entity or, for limited partnerships and similar entities, we own a majority of the entity’s kick-out rights through voting limited partnership interests and (ii) non-controlling shareholders or partners do not hold substantive participating rights, and no other conditions exist that would indicate that we do not control the entity.

 

Use of Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are made and evaluated on an ongoing basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

 

If an entity is not a VIE, our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to our investments in limited liability companies and other investments is based on voting control. For our managing member interests in limited liability companies, we are presumed to control (and therefore consolidate) the entity, unless the other limited partners have substantive rights that overcome this presumption of control. These substantive rights allow the limited partners to remove the general partner with or without cause or to participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the entity’s business. We account for our non-controlling investments in these entities under the equity method. Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, but do not control, or entities which are VIE in which we are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under the equity method.

CALIBERCOS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company uses the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value (“HLBV”) approach to account for its equity method investments as the capital structure of its equity method investments results in different liquidation rights and priorities than what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership interests as defined by the equity method agreements. Simply applying the percentage ownership interest to GAAP net income in order to determine earnings or losses does not accurately represent the income allocation and cash flow distributions that will ultimately be received by the investors. Under the equity method, the investor’s share of the investee’s earnings or loss is calculated by the investor’s capital account at the end of the period assuming that the investee was liquidated or sold at book value, plus cash distributions received by the investor during the period, minus the investor’s new investments in the investee during the period, and minus the investor’s capital account at the beginning of the period assuming that the investee was liquidated or sold at book value. Accordingly, our share of the earnings or loss from these equity-method investments are included in consolidated net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Our determination of the appropriate accounting treatment for an investment in a subsidiary requires judgment of several factors including the size and nature of our ownership interest and the other owners’ substantive rights to make decisions for the entity. If we were to make different judgments or conclusions as to the level of our control or influence, it could result in a different accounting treatment. Accounting for an investment as either consolidated or using the equity method generally would have no impact on our net income or members’ equity in any accounting period, but a different treatment would impact individual income statement and balance sheet items, as consolidation would effectively “gross up” our statement of operations and balance sheet. In addition, under the equity method, impairment losses are recognized upon evidence of other-than-temporary losses of value.

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amount of our investments in unconsolidated entities was $1,372,190 and $570,351, respectively, which is included in prepaid and other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In certain situations, the Company has invested only a nominal amount of cash, or no cash at all, into a venture. However, as the manager of the venture, we are entitled to 25 – 35% of the residual cash flow produced by the venture after the payment of any priority returns.

 

Accounting for Real Estate Investments

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, a determination is made as to whether the acquisition meets the criteria to be accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. The determination is primarily based on whether the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed meet the definition of a business. The determination of whether the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed meet the definition of a business includes a single or similar asset threshold. In applying the single or similar asset threshold, if substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are not considered a business. Most of our acquisitions meet the single or similar asset threshold, due to the fact that substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is attributable to the real estate assets acquired.

 

Acquired real estate properties accounted for as asset acquisitions are recorded at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The Company allocates the cost of real estate properties to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated relative fair values. We determine the fair value of tangible assets, such as land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, using a combination of internal valuation techniques that consider comparable market transactions, replacement costs and other available information and fair value estimates provided by third party valuation specialists, depending upon the circumstances of the acquisition. We determine the fair value of identified intangible assets or liabilities, which typically relate to in-place leases, using a combination of internal valuation techniques that consider the terms of the in-place leases, current market data for comparable leases, and fair value estimates provided by third party valuation specialists, depending upon the circumstances of the acquisition.

 

If a transaction is determined to be a business combination, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any identified intangibles are recorded at their estimated fair values on the transaction date, and transaction costs are expensed in the period incurred.

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation

 

We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our construction and development activities. Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with capital addition activities at the asset level. We also capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment, development and construction projects are in progress. We commence capitalization of costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital addition activities, at the point in time when activities necessary to get the assets ready for their intended use are in progress. This includes when assets are undergoing physical construction, as well as when apartment homes are held vacant in advance of planned construction, provided that other activities such as permitting, planning and design are in progress. We cease the capitalization of costs when the assets are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, which is typically when construction has been completed and apartment homes or other properties are available for occupancy. We charge the cost of ordinary repairs, maintenance and resident turnover to operating expense, as incurred.

 

Depreciation for all tangible real estate assets is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of our real estate assets are as follows:

 

Building and building improvements 15 – 40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3 – 7 years

 

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, depreciation expense was $8,365,932 and $7,034,166, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the carrying amount of the asset is determined to not be recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset, excluding interest charges. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not record an impairment loss related to certain single-family homes. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded impairment losses of $839,250 related to certain single-family homes. The estimated fair value (Level 3) of the single-family homes, which was based on a combination of internal valuations using available market data and third-party valuations, was determined to be less than the carrying value at the respective measurement date.

Real Estate Assets Held for Sale

 

An asset or asset group is classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met including management’s approval for sale, the availability of the asset or asset group to be sold in its present condition, and the likelihood of the sale occurring within the next twelve months is probable. At such time, if the asset was being depreciated, depreciation is no longer recognized. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value, or estimated net realizable value, less costs to sell. The estimates used in the determination of the net realizable value of real estate held for sale are based on known factors to the Company at the time such estimates are made and management’s expectations of future operations and economic conditions. Should the estimate or expectations used in determining net realizable value deteriorate in the future, the Company may be required to recognize impairment charges or write-offs related to these real estate assets held for sale. In the event an asset classified as held for sale no longer meets the criteria for held for sale classification the asset is reclassified as held for use at the lower of the fair value or the depreciated basis as if the asset had continued to be used.

 

Advance Key Money

 

We have entered into certain arrangements in which hotel franchisors or their affiliates have provided the Company with financing as part of a franchise arrangement. The Company has been advanced funds upon entering into a franchise agreement and is not required to repay the funds as long as the franchise agreement is not terminated prior to its scheduled maturity. The potential amount of funds that would be required to be repaid decreases with the passage of time. The Company records a liability equal to the initial amount of funds received, which is amortized over the term of the franchise agreement and recorded as a reduction of franchise fee expense, which is included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Cash

 

Cash includes cash in bank accounts. The Company deposits cash with several high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed FDIC limits. Although the Company bears risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits and cash reserves required by certain loan agreements for capital improvements and repairs. As improvements and repairs are completed, related costs incurred by the Company are funded from the reserve accounts. Restricted cash also includes cash held in escrow accounts by mortgage companies on behalf of the Company for payment of property taxes, insurance, and interest.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are generated from the management, ownership and/or operations of real estate assets located in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah. The Company mitigates the associated risk by:

 

diversifying our investments in real estate assets across multiple asset types, including office, hospitality, single-family, multi-family, and self-storage properties;

 

diversifying our investments in real estate assets across multiple geographic locations including different markets and sub-markets in which our real estate assets are located;

 

diversifying our investments in real estate assets across assets at differing points of stabilization, and in varying states of cash flow optimization; and

 

maintaining financing relationships with a diversified mix of lenders (differing size and type), including large national banks, local community banks, private equity lenders, and insurance companies.

 

Mezzanine Equity

 

The Company may issue one or more series of preferred stock. Preferred stock, which is subject to mandatory redemption by the Company, is presented as temporary, or mezzanine equity, and presented separate from permanent equity on the accompanying consolidated balances sheets. The Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) are mandatorily redeemable at a fixed price on a fixed or determinable date. Series A contains a put option which allows the holder to convert the Series A into Class A common stock of the Company at any time prior to redemption. As a result, the Company concludes that the Series A would not meet the characteristics of being mandatorily redeemable until the conversion option expires. Accordingly, the Series A are presented as mezzanine equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Mezzanine equity is initially recorded at fair value on the issuance date. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the carrying amount of the instrument is accreted up over time using the effective-interest method, such that the carrying value equals the redemption value on the redemption date. See Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity and Share-Based Payments and Note 13 – Redeemable Preferred Stock for more detail relating to preferred stock.

 

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

 

We report the unaffiliated partners’ interests in the net assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships as noncontrolling interests within the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. Noncontrolling interests consist primarily of equity interests held by limited partners in consolidated real estate partnerships. We generally attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of income or loss of the consolidated partnerships based on their proportionate interest in the results of operations of the partnerships, including their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance within our equity and partners’ capital accounts.

 

The terms of the partnership agreements generally require the partnerships to be liquidated following the sale of the underlying real estate assets. As the general partner in these partnerships, we ordinarily control the execution of real estate sales and other events that could lead to the liquidation, redemption or other settlement of noncontrolling interests. The terms of certain partnership agreements outline differing classes of equity ownership, some of which are redeemable by the partnership at the partnership manager’s discretion.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term debt and are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt obligation using the straight-line method. Amounts amortized are reported as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. U.S. GAAP requires that the effective interest method be used to recognize amortization; however, the effect of using the straight-line method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained under the effective interest method. Capitalized deferred financings costs, net of accumulated amortization, are offset against and included in notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 provides comprehensive guidance for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when the entity transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance includes a five-step framework that requires an entity to: (i) identify the contract(s) with customers, (ii) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Topic 606 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature and timing of the Company’s revenue transactions, as well as new quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including the disaggregation of revenues and descriptions of performance obligations. The amendments in Topic 606 are effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2018.

 

On January 1, 2019 (the effective date), the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, applying the guidance to contracts with customers that were not substantially complete as of January 1, 2019. The Company did not make any policy elections affecting the measurement and recognition of revenue. We have identified all of our revenue streams and have concluded that our revenues primarily consist of hospitality, construction and development, real estate sales, rental income and fund management as noted in detail below.

 

The results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605. For contracts which were modified before the adoption date, the Company has not restated the contract for those modifications. Instead, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price, if necessary. The cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 would be applied as an adjustment to the opening balance of retaining earnings. The Company has analyzed the effect and found the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on its financial statements and its recognition is consistent with the historical accounting policies. Rental income for leasing activities is accounted for in accordance with other applicable GAAP.

 

Hospitality

 

Hospitality revenues are comprised of charges for room rentals, food and beverage sales, and other hotel operating activities. Revenues are recognized as earned, which is defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax.

 

We have performance obligations to provide accommodations and other ancillary services to hotel guests. As compensation for such goods and services, we are typically entitled to a fixed nightly fee for an agreed upon period and additional fixed fees for any ancillary services purchased. These fees are generally payable at the time the hotel guest checks out of the hotel. We generally satisfy the performance obligations over time, and we recognize the revenue from room sales and from other ancillary guest services on a daily basis, as the rooms are occupied, and we have rendered the services.

CALIBERCOS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

For food and beverage, revenue is recognized upon transfer of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company received in exchange for those services, which is generally when payment is tendered at the time of sale.

 

The Company receives deposits for events and rooms. Such deposits are deferred and included in advance deposits on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deposits are credited to income when the specific event takes place.

 

Construction and Development

 

The Company provides construction related services to affiliates and third parties, which include the build-out of tenant space, the renovation of hospitality, residential, and commercial real estate, and general real estate repair and maintenance services. In addition, the Company provides development services for ground-up development and repositioning of real estate assets.

 

These contract revenues are primarily derived from fixed price construction contracts. The Company has determined that these fixed-price construction projects provide a distinct service and, therefore, qualify as one performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. Revenue is recognized over time, because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer as work is performed at the customer’s site and, therefore, the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed. The cost-to-cost measure of progress continues to best depict the transfer of control of assets to the customer, which occurs as costs are incurred.

 

Revenues from time-and-material contracts are billed to customers as work is performed. The Company determined that time and material contracts cover a single performance obligation, with transfer of control continuously as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits. Therefore, revenue for time and material contracts is considered to be recognized over time.

 

Cost of revenues earned include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. The cost of uninstalled materials or equipment are generally excluded from the recognition of gross profit as such costs are not considered to be a measure of progress. Costs to mobilize equipment and labor to a job site prior to substantive work beginning are capitalized as incurred and amortized over the expected duration of the contract. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no capitalized mobilization costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

 

Certain construction contracts include retention provisions which ensure that the Company will provide complete services to customers which are in accordance with the terms of the related contract and, therefore, are not considered financing. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to these provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project by the customer. The Company has determined that there are no financing components included in construction contracts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed contracts receivable, retainage receivable, and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets) on the accompanying balance sheets. The contract asset, “Costs in excess of billings” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The contract liability, “Billings in excess of costs”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. See Note 5 – Prepaid and Other Assets and Note 8 – Other Liabilities for information on contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Contract Estimates

 

Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of techniques to estimate total contract revenues and costs. Total contract revenues for contracts may include variable considerations, which include approved change orders, claims, and other contract provisions. The Company includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in total contract revenues are based on an assessment of the anticipated performance in addition to all information (historic, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. The effect of variable consideration on the total contract revenue of a performance obligation is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $2,173,080 of estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied).

 

Real Estate Sales

 

Real estate sales are comprised of sales proceeds from the sale of certain single-family homes that are treated as inventory. All other real estate assets sold are recognized in other (income) expenses. We recognize real estate sales at a point in time. Each transaction is treated as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized when the transaction is completed, when the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Rental Income

 

Rental income includes the revenues generated primarily by the rental operations of the residential (multi-family and single-family) properties owned and/or managed by the Company. The Company’s revenues generated by residential properties, consists of rental income that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease and are reported on a straight-line basis over the initial noncancelable term of the lease, net of any concessions, and recognized when earned and collectability is reasonably assured. These revenues are recorded net of any sales and occupancy taxes collected from tenants. Rental income is not within the scope of ASU 2014-09 and would fall under Topic 840 - Leases (or Topic 842 - Leases, when effective).

 

Fund Management

 

Revenues from contracts with customers includes fixed fee arrangements with its affiliates to provide certain set up and capital raising services associated with marketing, soliciting, and selling member interests in the affiliated limited partnerships. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on appropriate measurement of the Company’s progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable considerations should be applied due to uncertain future events. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

Set up services are a one-time fee for the initial formation, administration, and set up of the private equity real estate fund. These fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance under the contract is complete. Set up fees earned during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $75,000 and $200,000, respectively.

 

Asset management fees are generally based on 1.5% of the unreturned capital contributions in a particular fund and include reimbursement for costs incurred on behalf of the fund, including an allocation of certain overhead costs. Asset management fees are recalculated on an annual basis. These customer contracts require the partnership to provide management services, representing a performance obligation that the partnership satisfies over time. Asset management fees earned during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $6,221,061 and $3,491,815, respectively.

 

Capital raising fees are earned over time as equity capital is raised into our managed funds in proportion to the total capital specified in the related contract. Services include marketing, offering, registering, and ultimately raising capital. Capital raising fees earned during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $3,016,994 and $906,781, respectively. See Note 16 – Segment Reporting for a disaggregated presentation of revenues from contracts with customers.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from guests or groups for hotel rooms and services provided by the hotel properties. Accounts receivable also include due, but unpaid, rental payments. The Company continually reviews receivables and determines collectability by taking into consideration the history of past write-offs, collections, current credit conditions, tenant payment history, the financial condition of the tenants, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is uncertain, the Company will record an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Amounts that are determined to be uncollectible with a high degree of certainty are written-off through bad debt expense, which is included in other expenses, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Interest Rate Caps

 

The Company utilizes interest rate caps, derivative financial instruments, to reduce interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities require the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those instruments are reported in earnings or other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of the derivative and the effect on the financial statements will depend on its hedge designation and whether the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value of cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s interest rate caps were estimated to have fair values (Level 3) equal to zero. See Note 6 – Notes Payable for more detail.

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company less dividends on Series A and accretion of mezzanine equity value by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders further assumes the potential dilutive effect of potential common shares, which includes common shares, consisting of (a) stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, and (b) convertible debt and preferred stock using the if-converted method. To the extent the inclusion of potential common shares is anti-dilutive, the potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders. See Note 14 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share for the calculation of earnings per share.

 

Related Parties

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions with related parties. Related parties include affiliates of the entity, entities under common control of the Company, significant stockholders and executive management and members of their immediate families, and other parties that can significantly influence the management and operating policies of the Company.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws and are released in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

A valuation allowance is required to reduce the balance of a deferred tax asset if it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized due to the lack of sufficient taxable income or other limitation on the Company’s ability to utilize the loss carryforward.

 

We recognize the impact of an income tax position, if that position is more-likely-than-not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Related interest and penalties are classified as income taxes in the financial statements. See Note 9 – Income Taxes for more detail.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We disclose the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”. We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and established valuation methodologies. The estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

 F-19 

 

 

CALIBERCOS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s fair value measurement and disclosures consist of a three level valuation hierarchy. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the ability to observe the inputs employed in the measurement using market participant assumptions at the measurement date. An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting company’s own data).

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company has granted stock to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions as compensation for services provided. For stock grants to non-employees, the fair value of the share-based payment is determined based upon the measurement date fair value. The measurement date may be either (i) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (ii) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. The fair value of the Company’s common stock grants is estimated using market factors, such as the current private market selling price of the Company’s common stock at the measurement date, depending on the terms of each arrangement. Non-employee share-based payment charges are recognized based on the terms of each arrangement, and share-based payment charges are generally recognized as the related service is provided. The average vesting period is four years.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

In July 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which was amended in June 2018 to authorize the issuance of up to 5.0 million shares of common stock. In June 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and issued approximately 3.0 million employee stock options to existing employees. The total stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, was 3,697,322 and 3,004,824, respectively.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires certain assumptions that can materially impact the estimation of fair value and related compensation expense. The assumptions used to estimate fair value include the price of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of stock option awards. Management elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur pursuant to ASU 2016-09 “Compensation — Stock Compensation”. As a result, no forfeiture rate was assumed.

Segment Information

 

The Company’s operations are organized into eight reportable segments for management and financial reporting purposes, which are divided into two categories; (i) real estate services (Fund Management, Construction & Development, Property Management and Real Estate Brokerage) and (ii) real estate operations (Hospitality, Residential, Commercial, and Diversified). In accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, in determining the most appropriate reportable segments, we considered the information our chief operating decision maker assesses when evaluating the operating performance of our assets, based on our share of operating income (loss), including similar economic and other characteristics, and the nature of operating or revenue producing activity.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications relating to certain business activity adjustments from our Residential to Real Estate Brokerage segment were made to prior year presentation for comparative purposes. Due to the change in segment reporting approximately $6.6 million and $6.8 million in revenues and expenses, respectively, were reclassified for the year ended December 31, 2018. Such reclassifications did not impact the net loss or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

 

Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In addition, to the above referenced newly adopted pronouncements, see additional newly adopted and recent accounting pronouncements below.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months, with the result being the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and the disclosure of key information about the entity’s leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e., capital leases under current U.S. GAAP) and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods in its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required for existing leases that have not expired upon adoption. We are currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock Compensation

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance identifies, evaluates and improves areas of GAAP for which cost, and complexity can be reduced while maintain or improving the usefulness of the information provided. The amendments in that update expanded the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. For entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2018-07 (adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2018 as disclosed in prior year consolidated financial statements), the updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company early adopted ASU 2019-08 as of January 1, 2019 (the effective date) and did not have any reclassifications or material impacts on our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption.

Management has determined that the equity holders in these entities, as a group, lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and/or have disproportionate voting rights relative to their equity. In addition, the Company has all the decision-making power with respect to the activities of these entities, and none of the equity holders in the entities have substantive protective or participating rights to remove the power from the Company. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of each of these entities since it has the power to direct the activities of the entities and the right to absorb losses, generally in the form of guarantees of indebtedness that are significant to the individual entities.

 

Generally, the assets of the individual consolidated VIEs can be used only to settle liabilities of each respective individual consolidated VIEs and the liabilities of the individual consolidated VIEs are liabilities for which creditors or beneficial interest holders do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company has provided financial support to certain consolidated VIEs in the form of short-term financing and guarantees of the debts of certain VIEs. In general, our maximum exposure to loss due to involvement with the consolidated VIEs is limited to the amount of capital investment in the VIE, if any, or the potential obligation to perform on the guarantee of debts.

 

The table below outlines the classification and carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs that are included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered cumulative losses as a significant piece of negative evidence and established a full valuation allowance of $2,457,570 and $4,113,978 against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

The changes to the Company’s valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

 

   2019   2018 
Valuation allowance at the beginning of the year  $4,113,978   $3,973,166 
Changes in valuation allowance recorded during the year   (1,656,408)   140,812 
Valuation allowance at the end of the year  $2,457,570   $4,113,978 

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the following significant taxing jurisdictions: U.S., Arizona, Alaska, Utah, California, Colorado, and Nevada. The Company is currently not under income tax examination in any tax jurisdiction.

 

Although we believe our tax returns are correct, the final determination of tax examinations and any related litigation could be different from what was reported on the tax returns. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the United States Internal Revenue Service as well as state taxing authorities for the past four years.

 

We apply U.S. GAAP related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before recognition in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. We do not believe that there are any positions taken by the Company which would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Legal Matters

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mercadyne Advisors, LLC (“Mercadyne”) and 6831614 Manitoba Ltd. (“Manitoba”) (collectively, the “Consultants”). Per the agreement, the services to be provided by the Consultants were business consulting related services primarily focused on assisting the Company in accessing capital markets and designing, implementing, and completing a public offering. In exchange for the services, the agreement outlined the Consultants’ compensation to include a $25,000 monthly fee paid in cash and a contingently exercisable warrant to purchase a 15.00% equity interest in the Company for an aggregate exercise price of $1,000, exercisable upon the completion of a public offering. The agreement was amended in February 2015, for the purposes of amending the compensation to be a grant of equity rather than a warrant to purchase a 15.00% equity interest in the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the amendment, for a price of $1,000, and to memorialize that all services required to be provided in connection with the agreement had been provided, although a public offering had not been completed. The agreement does not include a stated number of shares of common stock to be issued in exchange for the services provided. In March 2017, the Company and Mercadyne entered into a stock subscription agreement which finalized the number of shares of common stock to be issued to Mercadyne in connection with the consulting agreement and related amendment. The final number of shares issued to Mercadyne in connection with the agreement was 1,325,324. At the time of the settlement our liability was reduced by $1,126,525, with a corresponding increase to stockholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company and Manitoba were in the process of negotiating the number of shares of common stock to be issued to finalize the arrangement, and the Company had a remaining liability recorded in the amount of $1,381,526.

 

On January 27, 2020, Manitoba, and its President, filed a complaint in Maricopa County Superior Court in the State of Arizona against the Company and each of the members of its Board of Directors claiming among other things, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and fraud in the inducement, in connection with the above equity grant. The complaint seeks damages in the amount of $10,905,575, but in no event less than $8,126,620, treble damages under the argument that the unissued shares are wages under Arizona law, or, alternatively, specific performance that the Company issue Manitoba 2,181,115 shares of Class A Common Stock, but in no event less than 1,625,324 shares. The complaint also seeks fees, costs, interest and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. At the Company’s urging, a stipulation to place the entire matter into private, binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accord with the parties’ prior agreement documentation was executed by counsel for the parties. On March 27, 2020, the Court ordered the parties to AAA arbitration, to be commenced within thirty days of said order. The arbitration commenced and, on May 29, 2020, the respondents submitted their answering statement and counterclaim to the AAA. No additional dates have yet been set by the AAA, but the next dates will be for an administrative conference with AAA staff, followed by arbitrator selection, followed by a scheduling conference with the arbitration panel. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. The ultimate outcome of this legal matter cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, any adjustment that might result from the resolution of this matter has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. If all shares demanded further to the aforementioned complaint are ultimately issued to Manitoba, investors’ relative ownership interest will experience additional dilution.

 

Construction Contracts

 

In connection with our development, redevelopment and capital improvement activities, we have entered into various construction related contracts and we have made commitments to complete certain projects, pursuant to financing or other arrangements. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our commitments related to these activities were $2,048,303 and $2,864,007, respectively.

Ground Leases

 

In November 2012, we acquired a hotel property in Phoenix, Arizona, which is subject to a ground lease and requires monthly lease payments of approximately $78,000, subject to annual adjustments through December 2049, at which time the ground lease expires. The ground lease, accounted for as an operating lease, required a deposit of $325,000, which is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. At the time of acquisition, it was determined that the lease rate of the ground lease was at a rate which management estimated was above the fair market lease rate. Accordingly, we recorded a liability in the amount of the estimated fair value (Level 3) of the above market lease. The above market lease is amortized as a reduction to lease expense over the term of the lease. Accumulated amortization of the above-market lease intangible as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $898,760 and $773,351, respectively.

 

In October 2014, we acquired a hotel property residing on land which is subject to a ground lease and is subleased to the Company. The sublease requires monthly lease payments of approximately $17,000 which consist of base rent, taxes, and other charges, and are subject to annual adjustments. The amount of the base rent increases over time. The original sublease expires in May 2056; however, the sublease includes two 5-year extension options and a third extension option for an additional 27 months.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the estimated future minimum lease payments on the ground leases and the future amortization of the related above market lease intangible for each of the years ending December 31, are as follows:

 

Year  Lease
Payments
   Intangible
Amortization
   Net Lease

2020  $1,028,672   $(125,409)  $903,263

Total  $33,601,704   $(3,762,256)  $29,839,448 

 

Rent expense was $1,561,562 and $1,369,398 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which includes rent expense related to operating leases for office space and ground leases. In addition to the arrangements outlined above, the Company regularly enters into short-term equipment and other rentals. Rent expense is included within operating expenses or general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, depending on the nature of the individual rental arrangement.

 

Environmental Matters

 

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate assets, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

Buyback Program

 

In September 2018, the Company agreed to repurchase all 6,239,846 shares (“Buyback Program”) owned by one of its non-participating founders for $2.70 per share of common stock in exchange for an amendment to such non-participating founder’s shareholder voting rights and other Company protections. Among other things, the Company’s obligation to reacquire the non-participating founder’s shares terminates when the Company’s common stock is listed on a national exchange. The shares are being reacquired at various amounts ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 units on a monthly basis until such time as the Company has satisfied the termination conditions or until all of the shares have been reacquired, which could be in 2075. Due to the length of time of the liability, the Company recorded a liability of $13,645,954 and a corresponding reduction to equity in treasury stock at the inception of the Buyback Program using a present value discount rate of 10.00%. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company repurchased 99,500 and 18,000 shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of the liability was $13,310,580 and $13,577,152, respectively, which is included in buyback obligation on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The remaining number of shares to be repurchased as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 6,122,346 and 6,221,846, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the future aggregate principal payments related to the Buyback Program for each of the years ending December 31, are as follows:

Note 14 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all potential dilutive common shares, consisting of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt and preferred stock using the if-converted method.

 

The Company considered the two-class method in calculating the basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2019. However, it was determined that there was no impact to the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders as Class A and Class B Common Stock share in the same earnings and profits, thus, having no impact on the calculation.

 

The Company has calculated the basic and diluted earnings per share during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 as follows:

 

   Years Ended December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Numerator:        
Net income (loss) attributable to CaliberCos Inc.  $6,467,490   $(2,992,701)
Preferred stock dividends   (439,876)   (390,508)
Convertible debt interest   127,539    - 
Accretion of mezzanine equity value   -    (51,327)
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of CaliberCos Inc.  $6,155,153   $(3,434,536)
Denominator:          
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic   28,031,275    27,405,332 
Dilutive shares - options, net   3,190,710    - 
Dilutive shares - warrants, net   25,668    - 
Dilutive shares - preferred shares   2,071,745    - 
Dilutive shares - convertible debt   434,860    - 
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted   33,754,258    27,405,332 
           
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders  $0.22   $(0.13)
Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders  $0.18   $(0.13)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there have been no exclusions of potential additional common stock from the computation of diluted income per share attributable to common stockholders as none of the potential exercise of stock options and warrants or the potential conversion of preferred shares and convertible debt were antidilutive. The number of antidilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2018, consisting of exercised warrants and stock options and conversion of preferred shares, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share were as follows:

 

   Years Ended December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Additional common shares, if warrants were exercised   -    211,895 
Additional common shares, if preferred shares were converted   -    2,071,745 
Additional common shares, if stock options were exercised   -    3,004,824

Note 15 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company estimates fair values of financial instruments using available market information and established valuation methodologies. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

Financial instruments that approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The fair values of long-term debt, advance key money, and interest rate caps have been estimated based on current rates available for similar instruments with similar terms, maturities, and collateral. The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt, advance key money, and interest rate caps as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximated fair value, except for the long-term debt instruments listed below, all of which were measured with Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair values for the instruments below were determined by management based on a discounted future cash-flow model.

Note 17 – Subsequent Events

 

In addition to matters discussed above in Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity and Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies, the following is a summary of subsequent events through the date of this filing:

 

·In February 2020, HMC and its existing hotel management agreements were acquired by Highgate. Highgate assumed HMC’s hotel management responsibilities for all our existing and future hotel assets.

 

·On April 17, 2020, the board of directors and holders of shares of Series A of the Company approved and adopted that certain second certificate of amendment to the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company (“the “Second Amendment”). The amendments to the Second Amendment included, but not limited to, the following:

 

“Upon the determination of the board of directors of the Company that the value of the Class A common stock of the Company on a fully converted basis is at least $100 million, which determination must be supported by the valuation conducted by an independent audit firm, the Series A will automatically be converted into the number of shares of Class A common stock into which such shares of Series A would be converted on the date of such occurrence, in accordance with Section 4 of the Second Amendment. “

 

As such, simultaneously with the filing of the Second Amendment, the Company issued shares of Class A common stock to the Series A stockholders in connection with the conversion at a conversion rate of one and one-quarter shares of Class A common stock for every one share of Series A.
