OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY

This offering summary highlights material information regarding our business and this offering. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire offering circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section before making a decision to invest in our Class B Common Stock.

Rise Companies Corp.

We are an online investment technology company, that owns and operates a leading web-based, direct investment and origination platform, located at www.fundrise.com (the “Fundrise Platform”). We believe technology-powered investment is a more efficient mechanism than the conventional financial system to invest in real estate and other assets. Enabled by our proprietary technology, we aggregate thousands of individuals from across the country to create the scale of an institutional investor without the high fees and overhead typical of the old-fashioned investment business. Individuals can invest through the Fundrise Platform at ultra-low costs for what we believe is a more transparent, web-based experience. Investors use the Fundrise Platform to potentially earn attractive risk-adjusted returns from asset classes that have generally been closed to many investors and only available to high net worth investors and institutions. We generate revenues from, among other activities, the sponsorship of investment opportunities that are offered to investors through the Fundrise Platform, including the following:

real estate investment trusts offered directly to investors online on the Fundrise Platform, without any brokers or selling commissions (“eREITs^TM”); and

investment opportunities for which our affiliates serve as issuers of promissory notes tied to the performance of specific real estate assets (the “Project Dependent Notes”, together with the eREITs^TM, the “Programs”)

Since inception, we have originated approximately $200 million in both equity and debt investments deployed across more than approximately $1.15 billion of real estate property, while collecting and processing more than 55,000 investor dividends, distributions, investments and principal re-payments since we sponsored our first online investment in 2012. Our real estate debt and equity originations have increased at a compound annual growth rate of 780% (from $0.9 million to $70.9 million) for the three-year period starting January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2015 and had a year-over-year growth rate of 129% (from $45.1 million to $103.4 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, none of our sponsored Programs (as described below) have suffered any loss of principal or projected interest; however, there can be no assurance that such performance will continue in the future. In addition, as of September 30, 2016, we have yet to generate any profits from our operations and are incurring net losses, and do not expect to generate any profits, if ever, until our assets under management, or AUM, through our Programs is substantially larger.

Note, that beginning in September 2016, we suspended, indefinitely, our Project Dependent Notes Program. While, as of December 2016, $36,330,737.91 of securities remain outstanding under the Project Dependent Notes Program, we have no plans to sponsor the offering of any additional series of Project Dependent Notes in the immediate future.

In November 2015, we expanded our product offerings by launching the first ever eREIT^TM investment, an intended diversified real estate investment trust, available directly to investors online. As of December 15, 2016, we had sponsored five (5) eREITs^TM (Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC (the “Income eREIT^TM”), Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC (the “Growth eREIT^TM”), Fundrise East Coast Opportunistic REIT, LLC (the “East Coast eREIT^TM”), Fundrise West Coast Opportunistic REIT, LLC (the “West Coast eREIT^TM”), and Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC (the “Heartland eREIT^TM”)); as of September 30, 2016, all five eREITs^TM had qualified offerings under Regulation A. As of their recent public filings prior to December 15, 2016 our sponsored eREITs^TM had collectively raised approximately $115 million, including approximately $50 million raised by the Income eREIT^TM and approximately $50 million raised by the Growth eREIT^TM.

Our office is located at 1601 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20009. Our telephone number is (202) 584-0550. Information regarding the Company is also available on our web site at www.fundrise.com.

Use of Proceeds		The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility. As of the date of this offering circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Currently, we intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. For additional information, see “Use of Proceeds.”

Investment Requirements		The minimum investment in our Class B Common Stock for initial purchases is [ ] shares, or $[__] based on the per share price. For investors that have satisfied the applicable minimum purchase requirement for initial purchases, there are no minimum purchase requirements for additional purchases. We intend to initially limit the offer and sale of our Class B Common Stock in this offering solely to investors who have purchased one or more investments sponsored by us. For additional investment requirements, see “State Law Exemption and Purchase Restrictions.”

Liquidity Event		Subject to then existing market conditions, we may consider alternatives for providing liquidity to our stockholders within three to five years from the completion of this offering. However, there can be no assurance that a suitable transaction will be available or that market conditions for a transaction will be favorable during that time frame. Our board of directors has the discretion to consider a liquidity transaction at any time if it determines such event to be in our best interests, such as, but not limited to, a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange or a similar transaction. We do not have a stated term, as we believe setting a finite date for a possible, but uncertain future liquidity transaction may result in actions that are not necessarily in the best interest, or within the expectations of, our stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders should be prepared to hold the shares of Class B Common Stock indefinitely.

Risk Factors		Investing in our Class B Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of this offering circular, beginning on page 7, which contains a detailed discussion of the material risks that you should consider before you invest in our Class B Common Stock.

An investment in our Class B Common Stock involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this offering circular before purchasing shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this offering circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

The growth of our business depends in large part on our ability to raise capital from investors. If we are unable to raise capital from new or existing investors or existing investors decide to withdraw their investments from our Programs, our Programs will be unable to deploy such capital into investments and we will be unable to collect additional fees, which would have a negative effect on our growth prospects.

Our ability to raise capital from investors depends on a number of factors, including many that are outside our control. Investors may choose not to make investments with alternative asset managers, including sponsors of real estate investment programs and private real estate investment funds, and may choose to invest in asset classes and fund strategies that we do not offer. Poor performance of our Programs could also make it more difficult for us to raise new capital. Investors and potential investors in our Programs continually assess the performance of our Programs independently and relative to market benchmarks and our competitors, and our ability to raise capital for existing and future Programs depends on our performance. If economic and market conditions deteriorate, we may be unable to raise sufficient amounts of capital to support the investment activities of our new and future Programs. In addition, one of our key growth strategies is the expansion of our product offerings through the development of new and future Programs. If we are unable to successfully raise capital for our existing and future Programs, we will be unable to collect additional fees in connection with our management of our Programs (which fees currently consist primarily of (i) origination fees charged to real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our Programs and (ii) asset management fees charged to our Programs), which would have a negative effect on our growth prospects.

In addition, investors are typically permitted to withdraw their investments from our Programs through various redemption plans. In difficult market conditions, the pace of investor redemptions or withdrawals from our Programs could accelerate if investors move their funds to investments they perceive as offering greater opportunity or lower risk. Although investments in our Programs may generally be redeemed only at a discount to the original investment amount and redemptions are subject to other restrictions, redemptions could have the effect of decreasing the capital available for investments in our Programs and reduce our revenues and cash flows.

We are currently incurring net losses and expect to continue incurring net losses in the future.

We are currently incurring net losses and expect to continue incurring net losses in the future. Our failure to become profitable could impair the operations of the Fundrise Platform by limiting our access to working capital to operate the Fundrise Platform. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may never become profitable. In future periods, we may not have any revenue growth, or our revenue could decline.

The loss of our executive officers or key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business. Our ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals is critical to our success.

We depend on the investment expertise, skill and network of business contacts of our executive officers and key personnel. Our executive officers and key personnel evaluate, negotiate, structure, execute, monitor and service our investments. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of our executive officers and key personnel. In particular, Benjamin S. Miller, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, is critical to the management of our business and operations and the development of our strategic direction. The departure of Mr. Miller or of any other executive officers or key personnel could have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective.

The ability of the Programs to achieve their investment objectives depends on our ability to identify, analyze, invest in, finance and monitor real estate investments that meet their investment criteria. Our capabilities in structuring the investment process and providing competent, attentive and efficient services to our Programs depend on the employment of investment professionals in adequate number and of adequate sophistication to match the corresponding flow of transactions. To achieve the investment and growth objectives of the Programs, we may need to hire, train, supervise and manage new investment professionals to participate in our investment selection and monitoring process. We may not be able to find investment professionals in a timely manner or at all. We also face competition from other industry participants for the services of qualified investment professionals, both with respect to hiring new and retaining current investment professionals. Failure to support our investment process could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not carry any “key man” insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event of the death or disability of our executive officers or key personnel.

Our business model depends to a significant extent upon strong relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market for sources of investment opportunities. The inability of our executive officers or key personnel to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.

We expect that certain of our executive officers and key personnel will maintain and develop our relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market, and our Programs will rely to a significant extent upon these relationships to provide them with potential investment opportunities. Certain key persons and companies in the real estate market regularly provide us with access to their transactions. If our executive officers and key personnel fail to maintain their existing relationships or develop new relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market for sources of investment opportunities, we will not be able to grow the investment portfolios of our Programs. In addition, individuals with whom our executive officers and key personnel have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities, and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will generate investment opportunities for our Programs.

The investment management business is intensely competitive, with competition based on a variety of factors, including investment performance, continuity of investment professionals and relationships with key persons in the real estate market, the quality of services provided to partner real estate operators, corporate positioning, business reputation and continuity of differentiated products. A number of factors, including the following, serve to increase our competitive risks:

If we are unable to compete effectively, our revenue would be reduced and our business could be adversely affected.

Poor performance of our Programs would cause a decline in our revenues and results of operations and could adversely affect our ability to raise capital for future Programs.

We generate the majority of our revenue from (i) origination fees from debt and equity investments paid by the real estate operators with which we partner, (ii) asset management fees paid quarterly by investors in our Programs, and (iii) interest income. However, despite that, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, a significant portion of our revenue was generated from the net interest income we earned as a result of the Project Dependent Note Program. We have, as of September 2016, suspended the Project Dependent Note Program, indefinitely, and thus interest income is not expected to be a material part of our future revenue.

If any of our Programs perform poorly, either by incurring losses or underperforming benchmarks, as compared to our competitors or otherwise, our investment record would suffer. As a result, our revenues may be adversely affected and the value of our assets under management could decrease, which may, in turn, reduce our fees. Moreover, we may experience losses on investments of our own capital in our Programs as a result of poor investment performance. If a Program performs poorly, we will receive little income or possibly losses from our own principal investment in such Program. Poor performance of our Programs could also make it more difficult for us to raise new capital. Investors in our Programs may decline to invest in future Programs we form as a result of poor performance. Investors and potential investors in our Programs continually assess performance of our Programs independently and relative to market benchmarks and our competitors, and our ability to raise capital for existing and future Programs and avoid excessive redemption levels depends on our Programs’ performance. Accordingly, poor performance may deter future investment in our Programs and thereby decrease the capital invested in our Programs and, ultimately, our revenues. Alternatively, in the face of poor performance of our Programs, investors could demand lower fees or fee concessions for existing or future Programs which would likewise decrease our revenues.

The performance of our Programs depends primarily on the performance and net value of the underlying properties that our Programs own or in which our Programs make debt or equity investments. Lack of performance or a reduction of the net value of some of these properties may adversely affect the performance of our Programs, and our financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.

Our success depends significantly upon the performance and net value of the properties that our Programs own or in which our Programs make debt or equity investments. The performance and net value of these properties is subject to risks typically associated with real estate, which include the following many of which are partially or completely outside of our control:

Fees received in connection with the management of our Programs comprise a significant portion of our revenues and a reduction in or elimination of such fees, including from the termination of certain relationships with our Programs, could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

Our primary sources of revenue currently consist of (i) origination fees from debt and equity investments paid by the real estate operators with which we partner, (ii) asset management fees paid quarterly by investors in our Programs, and (iii) interest income. However, despite that, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, a significant portion of our revenue was generated from the net interest income we earned as a result of the Project Dependent Note Program. We have, as of September 2016, suspended the Project Dependent Note Program, indefinitely, and thus interest income is not expected to be a material part of our future revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2015, these and other fees that we earned in connection with the management of our Programs were approximately 65% of our total net revenue, in the aggregate. If the total assets or net investment income of our Programs were to decline significantly for any reason, including without limitation, due to short-term changes in market value, mark-to-market accounting requirements, the poor performance of our Programs’ investments or the failure to successfully access or invest capital, the amount of the fees we receive would also decline significantly, which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

In addition, fees paid to us could vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including a Program’s ability to invest in properties or other real estate assets that meet its investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities it acquires, the level of its expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which it encounters competition in the market, its ability to fund investments and general economic conditions. Variability in fees we received would have an adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and could cause volatility or a decline in the value of our Class B Common Stock.

In addition, the advisory, management or other arrangements between us or our affiliates on one hand, and any of our Programs on the other hand, may be terminated. For example, the manager of an eREIT^TM may be removed for “cause” upon the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding common shares of such eREIT^TM. Additionally, the arrangement between Fundrise Servicing, LLC (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ours) and our Programs, pursuant to which Fundrise Servicing, LLC receives certain servicing and other fees, may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the insolvency of Fundrise Servicing, LLC or its failure to comply with the terms of the applicable servicing agreement. If any such arrangements between us or our affiliates on one hand, and any of our Programs on the other hand, are terminated, we would experience a reduction in or elimination of such fees, resulting in a significant decline in revenues.

Future pressures to lower, waive or credit back our fees could reduce our revenue.

We have on occasion lowered, waived or credited the fees otherwise payable to us in connection with our management of our Programs to improve projected investment returns and attract investors. There has also been a trend toward lower fees in some segments of the third-party asset management business, and fees payable to us in connection with our management of our Programs could follow these trends. In order for us to maintain our fee structure in a competitive environment, we must be able to provide investors with investment returns and service that will incentivize them to pay such fees. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in providing investment returns and service that will allow us to maintain our current fee structure. Fee reductions on existing or future Programs could have an adverse impact on our revenue.

The historical returns attributable to our Programs may vary significantly from the future results of our Programs, our new investment strategies, our operations or any returns expected on an investment in our Class B Common Stock.

We have presented in this offering circular the returns relating to the historical performance of our Programs. The returns are relevant to us primarily insofar as they are indicative of revenues we have earned in the past and may earn in the future, our reputation and our ability to form new Programs. The returns of our Programs are not, however, directly linked to returns on our Class B Common Stock, since an investment in our Class B Common Stock is not an investment in any of our Programs (although we typically invest capital in our Programs to create an alignment of interest with investors in our Programs). Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of our Programs will necessarily result in positive returns on an investment in our Class B Common Stock. However, poor performance of our Programs will cause a decline in our revenue from such Programs, and would therefore have a negative effect on our performance and the value of our Class B Common Stock. Moreover, the historical returns of our Programs should not be considered indicative of, and may vary significantly from, the future returns of these or any future Programs we may form, in part because our Programs’ returns have benefited from investment opportunities and general market conditions that may not repeat themselves, including the availability of debt capital on attractive terms, and there can be no assurance that our current or future Programs will be able to avail themselves of profitable investment opportunities.

In addition, the internal rate of return, or IRR, for any current or future Program may vary considerably from the historical IRR generated by any particular Programs, or for our Programs as a whole. Future returns will also be affected by the risks described elsewhere in this offering circular, including risks of the industries and businesses in which a particular Program invests.

The Programs face competition for investment opportunities, which could reduce returns and result in losses to the Programs and reduce our revenues.

Even though our Programs are focusing on investments consisting primarily of small balance commercial real estate assets, which we believe are not targeted by institutional funds, the Programs compete for the acquisition of properties and other investments and the origination of loans with certain other companies, including REITs, insurance companies, commercial banks, certain private investment funds, hedge funds, specialty finance companies, online investment platforms and other investors. Several of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we or our Programs do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not available to us or the Programs. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we or our Programs have. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more relationships and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than we are able to do for our Programs. We may lose investment opportunities for our Programs if we do not match our competitors’ pricing, terms and structure. If we are forced to match our competitors’ pricing, terms and/or structure, we may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on investments for the Programs or such investments may bear substantial risk of capital loss, particularly relative to the returns to be achieved. Furthermore, a significant increase in the number and/or the size of our competitors in our target market could force us to accept less attractive investment terms for the Programs. Moreover, some of our competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 imposes on the manager of our eREITs^TM.

The significant growth we have experienced, particularly with respect to assets under management and revenues, will be difficult to sustain.

Our assets under management increased from approximately $4.8 million as of December 31, 2014 to approximately $200 million as of December 15, 2016. The continued growth of our business will depend on, among other things, our ability to devote sufficient resources to maintaining existing investment strategies and developing new investment strategies and Programs, our ability to raise adequate capital for our Programs, our ability to identify and source appropriate real estate assets and investments, our ability to maintain and further develop relationships with real estate operators and other sources of investment opportunities, our success in producing attractive returns from our investment strategies, our ability to extend our distribution capabilities and direct investor traffic to the Fundrise Platform, our ability to deal with changing market conditions, our ability to maintain adequate financial and business controls and our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements arising in response to the increased sophistication of the real estate investment management market. Any failure to sustain the level of growth we have achieved historically could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and control our expenses.

Our failure to manage future growth effectively may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may experience continued rapid growth in our operations, which may place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part upon the ability of our executive officers to manage growth effectively. Our ability to grow also depends upon our ability to successfully hire, train, supervise and manage new employees, obtain financing for our capital needs, expand our systems effectively, allocate our human resources optimally, maintain clear lines of communication between our transactional and management functions and our finance and accounting functions and manage the pressures on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to accurately anticipate and respond to the changing demands we will face as we continue to expand our operations, and we may not be able to manage growth effectively or to achieve growth at all. Any failure to manage our future growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We intend to expand into new investment strategies and geographic markets and may enter into new lines of business, each of which may result in additional risks and uncertainties in our businesses.

If market conditions warrant, we intend to grow by increasing assets under management in existing businesses and expanding into new investment strategies and geographic markets and may enter into new lines of business. We may develop new strategies and Programs organically through the Fundrise Platform. We may also pursue growth through acquisitions of critical business partners or other strategic initiatives.

Attempts to expand our businesses involve a number of special risks, including some or all of the following:

Entry into certain lines of business may subject us to new laws and regulations with which we are not familiar, or from which we are currently exempt, and may lead to increased litigation and regulatory risk. If a new business does not generate sufficient revenues or if we are unable to efficiently manage our expanded operations, our results of operations will be adversely affected. Our strategic initiatives may include joint ventures, in which case we will be subject to additional risks and uncertainties in that we may be dependent upon, and subject to liability, losses or reputational damage relating to systems, controls and personnel that are not under our control. Further, as we expand existing and develop new Programs that are not permanent capital vehicles, we may be subject to a greater risk of, among other things, investor redemptions and reallocation. Because we have not yet identified these potential new investment strategies, geographic markets or lines of business, we cannot identify all the risks we may face and the potential adverse consequences on us and your investment that may result from any attempted expansion. The risks described above, including those we cannot identify, may prevent us from growing our business through expanded product offerings or result in unexpected costs that may lead to a decline in our financial position and the value of our Class B Common Stock.

Operational risks may disrupt our business, result in losses or limit our growth.

We are heavily dependent on the capacity and reliability of the technology systems supporting our operations, whether owned and operated by us or by third parties. Operational risks such as interruption of our financial, accounting, compliance and other data processing systems, whether caused by fire, other natural disaster, power or telecommunications failure, cyber-attacks or other cyber incidents, act of terrorism or war or otherwise, could result in a disruption of our business, liability to investors, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. If any of these systems do not operate properly or are disabled for any reason or if there is any unauthorized disclosure of data, whether as a result of tampering, a breach of our network security systems, a cyber-incident or attack or otherwise, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to our Programs, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Insurance and other safeguards might be unavailable or might only partially reimburse us for our losses. Although we have back-up systems in place, our back-up procedures and capabilities in the event of a failure or interruption may not be adequate.

The inability of our systems to accommodate an increasing volume of transactions also could constrain our ability to expand our businesses. Additionally, any upgrades or expansions to our operations or technology may require significant expenditures and may increase the probability that we will suffer system degradations and failures.

Employee misconduct and unsubstantiated allegations against us could expose us to significant reputational harm.

We are vulnerable to reputational harm, as we operate in an industry where integrity and the confidence of investors in our Programs are of critical importance. If an employee were to engage in illegal or suspicious activities, or if unsubstantiated allegations are made against us by employees, stockholders or others, we may suffer serious harm to our reputation (as a consequence of the negative perception resulting from such activities or allegations), financial position, relationships with key persons and companies in the real estate market, and our ability to attract new investors. Our business often requires that we deal with confidential information. If our employees were to improperly use or disclose this information, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial position and current and future business relationships.

It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in all cases. Misconduct by our employees, or even unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct, could subject us to regulatory sanctions and result in an adverse effect on our reputation and our business. See “Directors, Executive Officers and Significant Employees—Recent Developments Regarding a Former Executive Officer.”

If our techniques for managing risk are ineffective, we may be exposed to unanticipated losses.

In order to manage the significant risks inherent in our business, we must maintain effective policies, procedures and systems that enable us to identify, monitor and control our exposure to market, operational, legal and reputational risks. Our risk management methods may prove to be ineffective due to their design or implementation or as a result of the lack of adequate, accurate or timely information. If our risk management efforts are ineffective, we could suffer losses or face litigation, particularly from our clients, and sanctions or fines from regulators.

Our techniques for managing risks in our Programs may not fully mitigate the risk exposure in all economic or market environments, or against all types of risk, including risks that we might fail to identify or anticipate. Any failures in our risk management techniques and strategies to accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks in those Programs or to seek positive, risk-adjusted returns. In addition, any risk management failures could cause fund losses to be significantly greater than historical measures predict. Our more qualitative approach to managing those risks could prove insufficient, exposing us to unanticipated losses in the net asset value of the Programs and therefore a reduction in our revenues.

We may be required to repay loans that we guarantee in order for our Programs to finance the acquisition of properties.

From time to time we may provide certain guarantees of loans in order for our Programs to finance the acquisition of properties. If, in the future, we are called upon to satisfy a substantial portion of these guarantees, our results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

A significant amount of our Programs are qualified as REITs, which are generally not subject to federal corporate income tax on their net income that is distributed. If any such Program fails to satisfy the requirements necessary to permit this favorable tax treatment, we could be subject to claims by investors and our reputation for structuring these Programs would be negatively affected, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We structure some of our Programs as public non-traded REITs. A REIT is generally not subject to federal corporate income tax on its net income that is distributed, which substantially eliminates the “double taxation” (i.e., taxation at both the corporate and shareholder levels) treatment that generally results from an investment in a corporation. This treatment permits REITs to make larger distributions to investors (i.e. without reduction for federal corporate income tax). If a REIT fails to satisfy the complex requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we could be subject to claims by investors as a result of such REIT being subject to federal corporate income (and possibly increased state and local) tax and a reduction in the funds available for distribution to investors in our Programs. In addition, any failure to satisfy applicable tax REIT requirements in structuring our Programs would negatively affect our reputation, which would in turn affect our ability to earn additional fees from new Programs. Claims by investors could lead to losses and any reduction in our fees would have an adverse effect on our revenues.

The investment management industry faces substantial litigation risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations or cause significant reputational harm to us.

We depend to a large extent on our network of relationships and on our reputation in order to attract and retain investors. If an investor in our Programs is not satisfied with our products or services, such dissatisfaction, especially communicated to others, may be more damaging to our business than to other types of businesses. We make investment decisions on behalf of investors in our Programs that could result in substantial losses to them. If investors in our Programs suffer significant losses, or are otherwise dissatisfied with our services, we could be subject to the risk of legal liabilities or actions alleging negligent misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment or fraud. These risks are often difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude often remain unknown for substantial periods of time, even after an action has been commenced. We may incur significant legal expenses in defending against litigation. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could cause significant reputational harm to us and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Any failure to protect our own intellectual property rights could impair our brand, or subject us to claims for alleged infringement by third parties, which could harm our business.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark and other rights, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate or circumvent our copyright, trade secret, trademark and other rights or applications for any of the foregoing. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our industry. From time to time, third parties may claim that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing on such rights. We may, however, be unaware of the intellectual property rights that others may claim cover some or all of our technology or services.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. In addition, any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering investments in our Programs or operating the Fundrise Platform or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and our business.

Because no public trading market for our shares currently exists, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares and, if you are able to sell your shares, you will likely sell them at a substantial discount to the public offering price.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not require us to list our shares for trading on a national securities exchange by a specified date. There is no public market for our shares and we currently have no plans to list our shares on a stock exchange or other trading market. Until our shares are listed, if ever, you may not sell your shares unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Additionally, we currently have no redemption plan in place and do not expect to adopt any redemption plans in the future. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount to their public offering price. It is also likely that your shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. Because of the illiquid nature of our shares, you should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.

If we do not successfully implement a liquidity transaction, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period.

Although we presently intend to list our shares of Class B Common Stock on a stock exchange or other trading market at some point in the future in order to provide liquidity to our stockholders, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not require us to pursue such a liquidity transaction, nor will we enter into any registration rights agreement with stockholders. Market conditions and other factors could cause us to delay the listing of our shares on a stock exchange or other trading market exchange. If we decide to pursue a liquidity transaction, we would be under no obligation to conclude the process within a set time. If we decide to list our shares on a stock exchange or other trading market, the timing of such listing will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions, and federal income tax effects on stockholders, that may prevail in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in listing our shares. If we do not decide to list our shares, or delay such a listing due to market conditions, your shares may continue to be illiquid and you may, for an indefinite period of time, be unable to convert your investment to cash easily and could suffer losses on your investment.

This offering and the offerings of our eREITs^TM are focused on attracting a large number of investors that plan on making relatively small investments. An inability to attract such investors may have an adverse effect on the success of our and our eREITs’^TM offerings, and we may not raise adequate capital to implement our business strategy.

Our Class B Common Stock and the common shares of our eREITs^TM are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A). “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (which, in the case of natural persons, (A) have an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person, or (B) earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year) and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in the particular issuer does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). However, our Class B Common Stock and the common shares of our eREITs^TM are currently being offered and sold only to those investors that are within the latter category (i.e., investors whose investment in our Class B Common Stock or in the common shares of an eREIT^TM, as applicable, does not represent more than 10% of the applicable amount), regardless of an investor’s status as an “accredited investor.” Therefore, our target investor base inherently consists of persons that may not have the high net worth or income that investors in a traditional initial public offerings have, where the investor base is typically composed of “accredited investors.”

Our reliance on attracting investors that may not meet the net worth or income requirements of “accredited investors” carries certain risks that may not be present in traditional initial public offerings. For example, certain economic, geopolitical and social conditions may influence the investing habits and risk tolerance of these smaller investors to a greater extent than “accredited investors,” which may have an adverse effect on our ability to raise adequate capital to implement our business strategy. Additionally, our focus on investors that plan on making, or are able to make, relatively small investments requires a larger investor base in order to meet our goal of raising $[__] in this offering and each eREIT’s^TM annual goal of raising $50,000,000 in its offering. We may have difficulties in attracting a large investor base, which may have an adverse effect on the success of this offering and the eREITs’^TM offerings, and a larger investor base involves increased transaction costs, which will increase our and our eREITs’^TM expenses. Further, if our eREITs^TM are unable to successfully raise capital for their respective business strategies, we will experience a decrease in the fees that we collect from our eREITs^TMor from real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our eREITs^TM, which would have a negative effect on our growth prospects.

Because we are limited in the amount of funds we can raise in this offering, we may be unable to form an adequate number of new Programs in order to achieve our growth potential.

This offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis and we may begin to use net proceeds from this offering immediately after we have received subscriptions for at least $1,000,000 in this offering. See “How to Subscribe.” Under Regulation A, we are allowed to raise only up to $50,000,000 in any 12 month period (although we may raise capital in other ways). Failure to raise substantial funds may limit our ability to expand our business, preventing us from attaining our growth objectives. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a public reporting company, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in this offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

We will continue to be controlled by our executive officers who hold shares of our capital stock, and their interests may conflict with those of our other stockholders.

Upon the completion of this offering (that is, assuming that we are able to raise $[ ] in this offering), our executive officers who hold shares of our capital stock, one of whom is Benjamin Miller, our Chief Executive Officer, will collectively hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of our capital stock (after giving effect to the voting rights of the holders of preferred stock, voting on an as-converted basis). So long as our executive officers continue to collectively hold, directly or indirectly, shares of capital stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of our capital stock, they will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors (and therefore our management and policies), amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. The control exercised by our executive officers may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company or discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares, which could prevent stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares. These actions may be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. The interests of our executive officers may not always coincide with the interests of other stockholders, and our executive officers may act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of our other stockholders.

The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Class F Common Stock could restrict our ability to enter into various corporate transactions that may be beneficial to our business strategy.

So long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, we are generally prohibited from, among other things, the following:

Additionally, so long as any shares of Class F Common Stock are outstanding, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class F Common Stock, we are generally prohibited from, among other things, the following:

These restrictions may limit our ability to engage in activities which could expand our business, including obtaining future financing, making needed capital expenditures, or taking advantage of business opportunities such as strategic acquisitions and dispositions.

Holders of our Class B Common Stock have no voting rights, except under limited circumstances, and your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions of the company, including a change in control, are limited.

Holders of our Class B Common Stock do not have voting rights, except as may be required by Delaware law, and will have no right to vote for any members of our board of directors. The holders of our Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock, Class M Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our Class F Common Stock are entitled to ten (10) votes per share and the holders of our Class M Common Stock are entitled to nine (9) votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Class F Common Stock and Class M Common Stock control the voting power of our capital stock and therefore will control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. Furthermore, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have contractual rights to approve certain corporate transactions, including effecting a change of control of our company. The holders of our Class F Common Stock, Class M Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class B Common Stock.

Our Class B Common Stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and a company repurchase option, both of which could restrict your ability to sell your shares or realize a profit on your shares.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of our Class B Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class B Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors or our chief executive officer, except for certain exempt transfers. Our board of directors or chief executive officer may withhold consent to any prohibited transfer in its absolute discretion. Accordingly, if you intend to sell or otherwise transfer your shares of Class B Common Stock, and the intended transfer is prohibited, you may not be able to consummate the sale or transfer without prior consent, and the board of directors or chief executive officer have no obligation to approve the sale or transfer. In such circumstance, you may be required to hold your shares indefinitely or transfer them at a later time and for a lower price per share than you originally proposed selling them for.

Additionally, pursuant to subscription agreements that we will enter into with each holder of Class B Common Stock, we have the right to repurchase, at the original purchase price, all of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by a holder if such holder fails to conform their personal conduct to accepted standards of good citizenship or if such holder conducts itself in a way that reflects poorly on our company, as determined by our board of directors or chief executive officer in their sole discretion. If we repurchase your shares of Class B Common Stock under the above circumstances, you will not realize any profit on your shares, regardless of the current fair market value of those shares. These restrictions on transfer and our repurchase option on the Class B Common Stock could also have an adverse effect on the marketability of our Class B Common Stock, which could decrease the value of the Class B Common Stock.

As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board committees.

As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, while we have a board of directors and have adopted guidelines relating to director conflicts of interests and policies relating to related-party transactions, we do not have, nor are we required to have (i) a board of directors of which a majority consists of “independent” directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (ii) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (iii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (iv) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (v) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.

Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could hinder, delay or prevent a change of control of the Company.

Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company, even if a change of control would be beneficial to the interests of our stockholders. For example, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction by which that person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a business combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior did own, 15% or more of voting shares. Although Section 203 is not applicable to us as of the date of this offering circular, because we do not currently have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders (one of which must be true in order for Section 203 to apply), we may become subject to Section 203 in the future. As an additional example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that so long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, we are generally prohibited from effecting a change of control.

The offering price of our shares of Class B Common Stock was not established on an independent basis; the actual value of your investment may be substantially less than what you pay.

We established the offering price of our shares of Class B Common Stock on an arbitrary basis. The selling price of our shares bears no relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing shares. Because the offering price is not based upon any independent valuation, the offering price may be substantially more than the actual value of your investment. Further, the offering price may be significantly more than the price at which the shares would trade if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers.

Your interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of your investment.

Potential investors in this offering do not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have authority to issue an aggregate of [____] shares of capital stock, consisting of [____] shares of common stock (of which 43,000,000 are Class A Common Stock, [____] are Class B Common Stock, 10,000,000 are Class F Common Stock, and 18,000,000 are Class M Common Stock) and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and, subject to certain protective provisions, our stockholders may amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares, although, under Regulation A, we are only allowed to sell up to $50,000,000 of our shares of Class B Common Stock in any 12 month period (although we may raise capital in other ways). After your purchase in this offering, our board of directors may elect to issue or sell additional shares in future public or private offerings. To the extent we issue additional shares after your purchase in this offering, your percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our investments, you may also experience dilution in the book value of your shares.

By purchasing shares in this offering, you are bound by the arbitration provisions contained in our subscription agreement which limits your ability to bring class action lawsuits or seek remedy on a class basis.

By purchasing shares in this offering, investors agree to be bound by the arbitration provisions contained in Section 14 of our subscription agreement. Such arbitration provision applies to claims that may be made regarding this offering and, among other things, limits the ability of investors to bring class action lawsuits or similarly seek remedy on a class basis.

Section 14 of the subscription agreement allows for either us or an investor to elect to enter into binding arbitration in the event of any claim in which we and the investor are adverse parties, including claims regarding this offering. While not mandatory, in the event that we elected to invoke the arbitration clause of Section 14, the rights of the adverse stockholder to seek redress in court would be severely limited.

Further, Section 14(f) of the subscription agreement restricts the ability of individual investors to bring class action lawsuits or to similarly seek remedy on a class basis, unless otherwise consented to by us. These restrictions on the ability to bring a class action lawsuit is likely to result in increased costs, both in terms of time and money, to individual investors who wish to pursue claims against us.

By purchasing shares in this offering, an investor agrees to waive certain inspection rights set forth in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, which limits such investor’s ability to obtain certain corporate information from us.

Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware allows a stockholder of a company to inspect for any proper purpose, a company’s stock ledger, list of stockholders, and other books and records and the books and records of a company’s subsidiary in certain circumstances. By purchasing shares in this offering, investors agree to waive the inspection rights set forth in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Despite our obligation to publicly file certain reports under Regulation A, such waiver will limit an investor’s ability to obtain information from us for certain proper purposes under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, which may prevent or delay an investor from evaluating our business or such investor’s investment in our securities.

We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business, and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of the value of our Class B Common Stock, which may never occur.

Economic recessions or downturns may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Economic recessions or downturns may result in a prolonged period of market illiquidity, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unfavorable economic conditions also could reduce investments on our Fundrise Platform by Program investors and engagement by real estate operators. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, have resulted in and could continue to result in a general decline in acquisition, disposition and leasing activity, as well as a general decline in the value of real estate and in rents. These events could adversely affect our demand among investors and negatively impact our ability to generate the fees that we collect from our Programs or from real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our Programs, which will impact our results of operations.

During an economic downturn, it may also take longer for our Programs or for the real estate operators that may be borrowers or joint venture partners with our Programs to dispose of real estate investments, or the disposition prices may be lower than originally anticipated. As a result, the carrying value of such real estate investments may become impaired and our Programs could record losses as a result of such impairment or could experience reduced profitability related to declines in real estate values. These events could adversely affect the performance of our Programs and, in turn, our business, and negatively impact our results of operations.

Negative general economic conditions could continue to reduce the overall amount of sale and leasing activity in the commercial real estate industry, and hence the demand for the securities offered by our Programs, which may in turn adversely affect our revenues. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the current disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the United States and other countries.

Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or a government shutdown could negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and earnings.

Recent U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of additional credit rating downgrades and economic slowdowns, or a recession in the United States. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on multiple occasions, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States. The impact of this or any further downgrades to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect the United States and global financial markets and economic conditions. With the improvement of the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve may continue to raise interest rates, which would increase borrowing costs and may negatively impact our ability or the ability of our Programs to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, disagreement over the federal budget has caused the U.S. federal government to essentially shut down for periods of time. Continued adverse political and economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Global economic, political and market conditions and economic uncertainty may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The current worldwide financial market situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, may continue to contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets, and may cause further economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Economic uncertainty can have a negative impact on our business through changing spreads, structures and purchase multiples, as well as the overall supply of investment capital. Since 2010, several European Union, or EU, countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, have faced budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries. Additionally, the precise details and the resulting impact of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit,” are impossible to ascertain at this point. The effect on the United Kingdom’s economy will likely depend on the nature of trade relations with the EU following its exit, a matter to be negotiated. The decision may cause increased volatility and have a significant adverse impact on world financial markets, other international trade agreements, and the United Kingdom and European economies, as well as the broader global economy for some time. Further, there is continued concern about national-level support for the Euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among European Economic and Monetary Union member countries. In addition, the fiscal policy of foreign nations, such as China, may have a severe impact on the worldwide and United States financial markets. We do not know how long the financial markets will continue to be affected by these events and cannot predict the effects of these or similar events in the future on the United States economy and securities markets or on our investments. As a result of these factors, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully monitor developments and manage the investments of our Programs in a manner consistent with achieving their investment objectives.

Our ability to implement our business strategy is dependent, in part, upon our ability to successfully conduct this offering, and the ability of our Programs to conduct their offerings, through the Fundrise Platform, which makes an investment in us more speculative.

We will conduct this offering primarily through the Fundrise Platform, which we own through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fundrise, LLC. Only a limited number of investment opportunities, including investment opportunities in our Programs, have been offered through the Fundrise Platform prior to this offering. The success of this offering, and our ability to implement our business strategy, is dependent upon our ability to sell shares of Class B Common Stock to investors through the Fundrise Platform. If we are not successful in selling shares of Class B Common Stock through the Fundrise Platform, our ability to raise proceeds through this offering will be limited and we may not have adequate capital to implement our business strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our business strategy, you could lose all or a part of your investment.

Our ability to implement our business strategy is also dependent upon the ability of our Programs to conduct their offerings through the Fundrise Platform. If our Programs are not successful in conducting their offerings through the Fundrise Platform, their abilities to raise proceeds through their offerings will be limited and they may not have adequate capital to implement their business strategies. If our Programs are unsuccessful in implementing their business strategies, we would experience a reduction in or elimination of the fees that we collect in connection with our management of our Programs, which could harm our business and results of operations.

We are a development stage company with limited operating history and no profits to date. As a company in the early stages of development, we face increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties.

We have a limited operating history. In order for us to be successful, the volume of Programs sponsored on the Fundrise Platform will need to increase, which will require us to increase our facilities, personnel and infrastructure to accommodate the greater obligations and demands on the Fundrise Platform. The Fundrise Platform is dependent upon the website to maintain current listings and transactions in real estate-related assets comprising our Programs. We also expect to constantly update our software and website, expand our customer support services and retain an appropriate number of employees to maintain the operations of the Fundrise Platform. If our business grows substantially, we may need to make significant new investments in personnel and infrastructure to support that growth. If we are unable to increase the capacity of the Fundrise Platform and maintain the necessary infrastructure, or if we are unable to make significant investments on a timely basis or at reasonable costs, the Fundrise Platform may experience periodic downtime, which may cause disruptions to the business and operations of our Programs. Such disruptions may in turn adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations, and if we fail to obtain additional funding, we may be unable to continue operations.

At this early stage in our development, we have funded substantially all of our operations with proceeds from private financings from individual investors. To continue the development of the Fundrise Platform, we will require substantial additional funds. To meet such financing requirements in the future, we may raise funds through equity offerings (such as this offering), debt financings or strategic alliances. Raising additional funds may involve agreements or covenants that restrict our business activities and options. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds for the operation of the Fundrise Platform, we may be forced to reduce or terminate its operation, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

If we were to enter bankruptcy proceedings, the operation of the Fundrise Platform and the activities with respect to our operations and business would be interrupted and subscription proceeds held in a segregated account may be subject to the bankruptcy.

If we were to enter bankruptcy proceedings or to cease operations, we would be required to find other ways to meet obligations regarding our operations and business. Such alternatives could result in delays in the filing of reports or could require us to pay significant fees to another company that we engage to perform services for us.

If the security of the confidential information of investors in our Programs stored in our systems is breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, your secure information may be stolen.

The Fundrise Platform may store investors’ bank information and other personally-identifiable sensitive data. The Fundrise Platform is hosted in data centers that are compliant with payment card industry security standards and the website uses daily security monitoring services provided by Symantec Corporation. However, any accidental or willful security breach or other unauthorized access could cause your secure information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes, and you would be subject to increased risk of fraud or identity theft. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, the Fundrise Platform and its third-party hosting facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, many states have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause investors in our Programs and our partner real estate operators to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation, resulting in a potential loss of investors and adverse effect on the value of your investment in us.

Any significant disruption in service on the Fundrise Platform or in its computer systems could reduce the attractiveness of the Fundrise Platform and result in a loss of members.

If a catastrophic event resulted in a platform outage and physical data loss, the Fundrise Platform’s ability to perform its functions would be adversely affected. The satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our technology and our underlying hosting services infrastructure are critical to our operations, level of customer service, reputation and ability to attract new members and retain existing members. Our hosting services infrastructure is provided by a third party hosting provider (the “Hosting Provider”). We also maintain a backup system at a separate location that is owned and operated by a third party. The Hosting Provider does not guarantee that members’ access to the Fundrise Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Our operations depend on the Hosting Provider’s ability to protect its and our systems in its facilities against damage or interruption from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality, temperature, humidity and other environmental concerns, computer viruses or other attempts to harm our systems, criminal acts and similar events. If our arrangement with the Hosting Provider is terminated, or there is a lapse of service or damage to its facilities, we could experience interruptions in our service as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities. Any interruptions or delays in our service, whether as a result of an error by the Hosting Provider or other third-party error, our own error, natural disasters or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, could harm the success of this offering, our Programs’ ability to perform any services for project investments or maintain accurate accounts, our relationships with our members and our reputation. Additionally, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and it may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage at a facility operated by the Hosting Provider. These factors could prevent our Programs from processing or posting payments on the corresponding investments, damage our brand and reputation, divert our employees’ attention, and cause members to abandon the Fundrise Platform.

We rely on third-party banks and on third-party computer hardware and software. If we are unable to continue utilizing these services, our business and our Programs’ ability to service the corresponding project loans and equity investments may be adversely affected.

Our Programs and the Fundrise Platform rely on third-party and FDIC-insured depository institutions to process their transactions, including payments of corresponding loans and equity investments and distributions to their shareholders or noteholders. Additionally, we rely on such institutions to process subscriptions under this offering. Under the Automated Clearing House (ACH) rules, if we experience a high rate of reversed transactions (known as “chargebacks”), we may be subject to sanctions and potentially disqualified from using the system to process payments. The Fundrise Platform also relies on computer hardware purchased and software licensed from third parties. This purchased or licensed hardware and software may be physically located off-site, as is often the case with “cloud services.” This purchased or licensed hardware and software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the Fundrise Platform cannot continue to obtain such services elsewhere, or if it cannot transition to another processor quickly, our and our Programs’ ability to process payments will suffer.

We are subject to extensive regulation, and failure to comply with such regulation could have an adverse effect on our business.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation. In particular, we are subject to regulation by the SEC under the federal securities laws, and the manager of our eREITs^TM is subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or the Advisers Act.

The various legal statutes and regulatory rules that we and our subsidiaries are subject to are extremely complex, and compliance with them can be a time-consuming and difficult task. For example, the Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on investment advisers, including record keeping, advertising and operating requirements, disclosure obligations and prohibitions on misleading or fraudulent activities. The Advisers Act also imposes an overriding fiduciary duty on investment advisers. As we develop new investment strategies and businesses, we expect to become subject to additional regulations and oversight by regulatory agencies with which we do not currently have experience.

Failure to comply with various laws and regulations applicable to us and our subsidiaries could have an adverse impact on our business. These include the possibility of significant civil or criminal fines, censure, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions (including the possibility of being barred from the industry) or the revocation of the registration of the manager of our eREITs^TM as an investment adviser. Moreover, even if the announcement of a sanction imposed against us, one of our subsidiaries or our personnel by a regulator is for a small monetary amount, the adverse publicity related to the sanction could harm our reputation, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our businesses in a number of ways, making it harder for us to form new Programs and discouraging others from doing business with us. Additionally, the bringing of a significant enforcement action against us could cause irreparable damage to our business reputation and ability to remain in business, regardless of the merits of the claim against us.

Pursuant to the Advisers Act, operating agreements between certain of our subsidiaries who are U.S. registered investment advisers, and the eREITs^TM are not assignable without the consent of the relevant eREITs^TM. Assignment, as generally defined, includes direct assignments as well as assignments that may be deemed to occur, under certain circumstances, upon the direct or indirect transfer of a “controlling block” of the voting securities of the respective subsidiary. A transaction is not an assignment under the Advisers Act, however, if it does not result in a change of actual control or management of the relevant subsidiary.

We could decide to sell a controlling block of our voting securities in the future, in which event the contractual anti-assignment and termination provisions of the operating agreements between our U.S. registered investment adviser subsidiaries and the eREITs^TM may be implicated. If an assignment of the operating agreements between the eREITs^TM and our U.S. registered investment adviser subsidiaries is deemed to occur, and the eREITs^TM do not consent to the assignment or enter into new agreements, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The regulatory environment in which we operate is subject to continual change and regulatory developments designed to increase oversight and may adversely affect our business.

The regulatory environment in which we operate has undergone significant changes in the recent past, including the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the adoption of many new rules and regulations in response. We believe there may be more regulatory changes in our industry, which would result in subjecting participants to significant additional regulation. The requirements imposed by our regulators are designed to ensure the integrity of the financial markets and to protect investors and other third parties who deal with us. These regulations often serve to limit our activities, including through customer protection and market conduct requirements. New laws or regulations, or changes in the enforcement of existing laws or regulations, applicable to us may adversely affect our business. Our ability to function in this environment will depend on our ability to constantly monitor and promptly react to legislative and regulatory changes. For investment management firms in general, there have been a number of highly publicized regulatory inquiries that focus on the asset management industry. These inquiries already have resulted in increased scrutiny in the industry and new rules and regulations for investment managers. This regulatory scrutiny may limit our ability to engage in certain activities that might be beneficial to our stockholders.

In addition, as a result of the recent economic downturn, acts of serious fraud in the asset management industry and perceived lapses in regulatory oversight, U.S. governmental and regulatory authorities may increase regulatory oversight of our businesses. We may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations imposed by the SEC, other U.S. governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise the financial markets. We also may be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any of the proposals will become law. The enactment of new laws or regulations could make compliance more difficult and expensive and affect the manner in which we conduct business.

We are offering our shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to recent amendments to Regulation A promulgated pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Tier 2 issuers will make our shares of Class B Common Stock less attractive to investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we will be subject to scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, which may make our shares of Class B Common Stock less attractive to investors who are accustomed to traditional initial public offerings that are subject to enhanced disclosure and more frequent financial reporting. In addition, given the relative lack of regulatory precedence regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty in regards to how the SEC or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our shares of Class B Common Stock, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to. If our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, or regulatory uncertainty regarding Regulation A, reduces the attractiveness of our shares of Class B Common Stock, we may be unable to raise the necessary funds necessary to continue developing our Programs, which could severely affect the value of our shares of Class B Common Stock.

Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standard that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with all public accounting standards.

This offering and the offerings of many of our sponsored Programs rely on new and relatively untested regulatory regimes, most notably Regulation A promulgated pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Act. Accordingly, we and many of our sponsored Programs face heightened regulatory uncertainty regarding how to conduct such offerings, as well as potential enforcement actions from state and federal regulators regarding the compliance of such offerings with applicable regulatory regimes.

Given the relative lack of regulatory precedence regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty in regards to how the SEC or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our shares of Class B Common Stock and our Programs’ common shares, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to. As the first company to sponsor multiple offerings under Regulation A, we have led the way in establishing regulatory norms and precedents for offerings undertaken as a Tier 2 issuer, including with regard to our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements and our plan of distribution. While we endeavor to comply with all regulatory regimes with regard to this offering and our sponsored Programs’ Regulation A offerings, as a result of the novelty of our business practices surrounding such offerings, we expect to be subject to heightened regulatory focus while the regulatory norms and precedents surrounding Regulation A offerings become established, which may result in inquiries, investigations, or other enforcement actions from state or federal regulators, which could severely affect the value of our shares of Class B Common Stock.

Our use of Form 1-A and our reliance on Regulation A for this offering may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it, as compared to if we were conducting a traditional initial public offering on Form S-1.

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us under Regulation A and because we are only permitted to raise up to $50,000,000 in any 12-month period under Regulation A (although we may raise capital in other ways), we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we will not need to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are a Tier 2 issuer. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

If we or our Programs were deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have an adverse effect on our business.

An entity will generally be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), if: (a) it is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; (b) it is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type; or (c) it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

We believe that we are engaged primarily in the business of providing asset management services and not in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We do not issue face-amount certificates of the installment type. We hold ourselves out as an asset manager and do not propose to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Furthermore, we do not have any material assets other than (i) equity interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries, which in turn have no material assets (other than intercompany debt and/or real estate-related assets, including capital or debt interests in our Programs), (ii) equity interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries that are managers of entities that in turn invest in real estate-related assets, (iii) equity interests in a wholly owned subsidiary that is the manager of the general partner of Fundrise, L.P., which was formed to provide warehousing and financing support to assets originated and facilitated by the Fundrise Platform, (iv) equity interests in a wholly owned subsidiary that is the trustee of an entity that issues the Project Dependent Notes and (v) cash and cash equivalents. The wholly owned subsidiaries are vested with all management and control, directly or indirectly, over their subsidiaries. We do not believe that our equity interests in these wholly owned subsidiaries are investment securities. Moreover, because we believe that our capital interests in the Programs are neither securities nor investment securities, we believe that less than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis are comprised of assets that could be considered investment securities. Accordingly, we do not believe we are an investment company as defined in Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. In addition, we believe we are not an investment company under Section 3(b)(1) of the Investment Company Act because we are primarily engaged in a non-investment company business.

We do not believe that any of our Programs are investment companies as defined the Investment Company Act. Our Programs make equity and debt investments in diversified portfolios of commercial real estate and real estate-related assets (i) directly, (ii) through wholly-owned subsidiaries, (iii) through majority-owned joint venture subsidiaries, and, (iv) to a lesser extent, through minority-owned joint venture subsidiaries. In connection with the Section 3(a)(1)(C) analysis, the determination of whether an entity is a majority-owned subsidiary of a Program (which generally means that the interests of such Program in such entity are not “investment securities” for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(C)) is made by such Program. The Investment Company Act defines a majority-owned subsidiary of a person as a company 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned by such person, or by another company which is a majority-owned subsidiary of such person. The Investment Company Act further defines voting security as any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote for the election of directors of a company. Our Programs treat companies in which they own at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities as majority-owned subsidiaries. Our Programs also treat subsidiaries of which they or their wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary is the manager (in a manager-managed entity) or managing member (in a member-managed entity) or in which our Programs’ agreement or the agreement of our Programs’ wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary is required for all major decisions affecting the subsidiaries (referred to herein as “Controlled Subsidiaries”), as majority-owned subsidiaries even though none of the interests issued by such Controlled Subsidiaries meets the definition of voting securities under the Investment Company Act. Our Programs reached this conclusion on the basis that the interests issued by the Controlled Subsidiaries are the functional equivalent of voting securities. Our Programs have not asked the SEC staff for concurrence of their analysis, their treatment of such interests as voting securities, or whether the Controlled Subsidiaries, or any other of their subsidiaries, may be treated in the manner in which they intend, and it is possible that the SEC staff could disagree with any of our Programs’ determinations. If the SEC staff were to disagree with our Programs’ treatment of one or more companies as majority-owned subsidiaries, our Programs would need to adjust their strategy and assets.

Certain of our Programs’ subsidiaries may rely on the exclusion provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. Section 3(c)(5)(C) is designed for entities “primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate.” This exclusion generally requires that at least 55% of the entity’s assets on an unconsolidated basis consist of qualifying real estate assets and at least 80% of the entity’s assets consist of qualifying real estate assets or real estate-related assets. These requirements limit the assets those subsidiaries can own and the timing of sales and purchases of those assets. To classify the assets held by our Programs’ subsidiaries as qualifying real estate assets or real estate-related assets, we will rely on no-action letters and other guidance published by the SEC staff regarding those kinds of assets, as well as upon our analyses (in consultation with outside counsel) of guidance published with respect to other types of assets. There can be no assurance that the laws and regulations governing the Investment Company Act status of companies similar to ours, or the guidance from the SEC or its staff regarding the treatment of assets as qualifying real estate assets or real estate-related assets, will not change in a manner that adversely affects our operations. Furthermore, although we and our affiliates intend to monitor the assets of our Programs’ subsidiaries regularly, there can be no assurance that our Programs’ subsidiaries will be able to maintain their exclusion from registration.

The Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operation of investment companies. Among other things, the Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, generally prohibit the issuance of options and impose certain governance requirements. We and our Programs intend to conduct our operations so that neither we nor our Programs will be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If anything were to happen which would cause us or our Programs to be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, requirements imposed by the Investment Company Act, including limitations on our and our Programs’ capital structure, ability to transact business with affiliates and ability to compensate key employees, could make it impractical for us and our Programs to continue our respective businesses as currently conducted, impair the agreements and arrangements between and among us, our Programs, our and their affiliates and our and their executive officers and directors, or any combination thereof, and adversely affect our and their business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we and they may be required to limit the amount of investments that we and they make as a principal or otherwise conduct our or their business in a manner that does not subject us or them to the registration and other requirements of the Investment Company Act.

We are not subject to the banking regulations of any state or federal regulatory agency.

We are not subject to the periodic examinations to which commercial banks and other thrift institutions are subject. Consequently, our financing decisions and our decisions regarding establishing loan loss reserves are not subject to periodic review by any governmental agency. Moreover, we are not subject to regulatory oversight relating to our capital, asset quality, management or compliance with laws.

Recent legislative and regulatory initiatives have imposed restrictions and requirements on financial institutions that could have an adverse effect on our business.

The financial industry is becoming more highly regulated. There has been, and may continue to be, a related increase in regulatory investigations of the trading and other investment activities of alternative investment funds. Such investigations may impose additional expenses on us, may require the attention of our senior management and may result in fines if we are deemed to have violated any regulations.

As Internet commerce develops, federal and state governments may adopt new laws to regulate Internet commerce, which may negatively affect our business.

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal and state governments becomes more likely. Our and the Fundrise Platform’s business could be negatively affected by the application of existing laws and regulations or the enactment of new laws applicable to our business. The cost to comply with such laws or regulations could be significant and would increase our operating expenses, which could negatively impact our Programs. In addition, federal and state governmental or regulatory agencies may decide to impose taxes on services provided over the Internet. These taxes could discourage the use of the Internet as a means of raising capital, which would adversely affect the viability of the Fundrise Platform.

Laws intended to prohibit money laundering may require us to disclose investor information to regulatory authorities.

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”) requires that financial institutions establish and maintain compliance programs to guard against money laundering activities, and requires the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury (“Treasury”) to prescribe regulations in connection with anti-money laundering policies of financial institutions. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), an agency of the Treasury, has announced that it is likely that such regulations would subject certain pooled investment vehicles to enact anti-money laundering policies. It is possible that there could be promulgated legislation or regulations that would require us or our service providers to share information with governmental authorities with respect to prospective investors in connection with the establishment of anti-money laundering procedures. Such legislation and/or regulations could require us to implement additional restrictions on the transfer of our shares of Class B Common Stock to comply with such legislation and/or regulations. We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of prospective stockholders and the source of the payment of subscription monies, or as is necessary to comply with any customer identification programs required by FinCEN and/or the SEC. In the event of delay or failure by a prospective stockholder to produce any information required for verification purposes, an application for, or transfer of, our shares of Class B Common Stock may be refused.

All of the agreements and arrangements between us and our affiliates, including those relating to fees and compensation, are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. Rather, such arrangements are determined by our executive officers based on industry standards and expectations of what our executive officers would be able to negotiate with a third party on an arm’s length basis. Some of the conflicts inherent in transactions with our affiliates, and the limitations on such parties adopted to address these conflicts, are described below. We will attempt to balance our interests with those of our affiliates. However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than us, these actions could have negative impact on financial performance.

The interests of our executive officers, directors and affiliates may conflict with our interests.

We may have conflicts of interests with our executive officers, directors and affiliates. This risk is increased by the involvement of Benjamin Miller, who is our Chief Executive Officer and who participates, or expects to participate, directly or indirectly in offering by us and our affiliates, as well as in the management of our Programs. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

We have adopted guidelines relating to director conflicts of interests and policies relating to related-party transactions. However, we cannot assure you that conflicts of interest, such as those listed above, will not result in claims by investors, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

As we establish additional Programs in the future, there may be conflicts of interests among the various Programs, which may result in opportunities that would benefit some Programs over others. Our failure to adequately address such conflicts of interest could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.

We have in the past, and expect to continue in the future, to establish and sponsor additional eREIT^TM offerings, and to continue to offer investment opportunities primarily through the Fundrise Platform, including offerings that will acquire or invest in commercial real estate equity investments, commercial real estate loans, and other select real estate-related assets. Some of our eREITs^TM have overlapping investment objectives, and potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to our decisions regarding how to allocate investment opportunities among those Programs. The manager of our eREITs^TM has adopted an investment allocation policy that governs the allocation of investment opportunities among our Programs. To the extent an investment opportunity is appropriate for one of our eREITs^TM, the manager of our eREITs^TM will adhere to its investment allocation policy in order to determine to which eREIT^TMto allocate the opportunity. If a sale, financing, investment or other business opportunity would be suitable for more than one eREIT^TM, the manager’s investment committee will allocate it according to the policies and procedures adopted by the manager. Any allocation of this type may involve the consideration of a number of factors that the manager’s investment committee determines to be relevant. Although the manager’s investment committee will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, any of our eREITs^TM could be adversely affected to the extent investment opportunities are allocated to other eREITs^TM. There is no guarantee that the manager’s investment committee will make the correct decision in such allocation.

Except under any policies that may be adopted by us or the manager in the future, no eREIT^TM or other Program will have any duty, responsibility or obligation to refrain from:

In addition, any decisions by our us or our affiliates to renew, extend, modify or terminate an agreement or arrangement, or enter into similar agreements or arrangements in the future, may benefit one Program more than another Program or limit or impair the ability of any Program to pursue business opportunities. In addition, third parties may require as a condition to their arrangements or agreements with or related to any one particular Program that such arrangements or agreements include or not include another Program, as the case may be. Any of these decisions may benefit one Program more than another Program.

Potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest, such as those described above, could give rise to investor or stockholder dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. Adequately addressing conflicts of interest is complex and difficult and we could suffer significant reputational harm if we fail, or appear to fail, to adequately address potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest. This could result in a loss of assets under management and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

The conflicts of interest policies we have adopted may not adequately address all of the conflicts of interest that may arise with respect to our activities and are subject to change or suspension.

In order to avoid any actual or perceived conflicts of interest, such as those described above, we have adopted conflicts of interest policies to specifically address some of the conflicts relating to our activities. There is no assurance that these policies will be adequate to address all of the conflicts that may arise or will address such conflicts in a manner that is favorable to us. Our board of directors may modify, suspend or rescind such policies, including any resolution implementing the provisions of such policies, in each case, without a vote of our stockholders.

We make statements in this offering circular that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this offering circular or in the information incorporated by reference into this offering circular.

The forward-looking statements included in this offering circular are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this offering circular. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this offering circular and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this offering circular will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this offering circular, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this offering circular, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors,” the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this offering circular will be achieved.

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of Class B Common Stock in this offering will be approximately $[ ] million, based upon (i) the sale of the maximum number of shares of Class B Common Stock being offered under this offering circular and (ii) an offering price of $[ ] per share, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility. As of the date of this offering circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Currently, we intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Other than the payment of officers’ salaries, none of the proceeds of this offering will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to our or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors.

Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to us to acquire businesses, products, services or assets. We do not, however, have agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions at this time. Accordingly, our management will have discretion in the application of the net proceeds to us from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the use of these net proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds to us as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds to us in short-term and long-term interest-bearing obligations, including government and investment-grade debt securities and money market funds. We cannot predict whether the proceeds invested will yield a favorable return.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, including the Class B Common Stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any further determination to pay dividends on our capital stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.

If you invest in our Class B Common Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our Class B Common Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class B Common Stock immediately after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per share offering price of our Class B Common Stock is substantially in excess of the pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to the existing equity holders. Net tangible book value represents net book equity excluding intangible assets, if any.

Our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2016 was approximately $[_________], or approximately $[_________] per share of our Class B Common Stock. Pro forma net tangible book value represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents pro forma net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.

The following table illustrates the substantial and immediate dilution per share of Class B Common Stock to a purchaser in this offering:

The following table sets forth, on the same pro forma basis, as of June 30, 2016, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid, or to be paid, and the average price per share paid, or to be paid, by existing stockholders and by the new investors, calculated at an assumed offering price of $[______] per share, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us:

The table above does not give effect to shares of our Class B Common Stock that may be issued upon the conversion of restricted shares or the exercise of options that we expect to grant under our stock-based compensation plans after the time of this offering. To the extent shares of our Class B Common Stock are issued upon exercise or conversion, there will be further dilution to new investors.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in this offering circular. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and in this offering circular, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

We own and operate the Fundrise Platform, a leading online, direct investment platform located at www.fundrise.com. We believe technology-powered real estate investment is a more efficient mechanism than the conventional financial system to invest in real estate and other alternative assets. Enabled by our proprietary technology, we aggregate thousands of individuals from across the country to create the scale of an institutional investor without the high fees and overhead typical of the old-fashioned investment business. Individuals can invest through the Fundrise Platform at ultra-low costs for what we believe is a better, more transparent web-based experience. Investors use the Fundrise Platform to potentially earn attractive risk-adjusted returns from asset classes that have generally been closed to many investors and only available to high net worth investors and institutions.

We believe that, as our business scales, while our growth may increase in absolute terms, our individual performance metrics are likely to slow. Accordingly, it may be insufficient to rely solely on any specific performance metric as a measurement of our success.

The origination fees we receive from originating debt and equity investments range from 0% to 2% of the initial principal amount of the investment. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, we generated gross origination fee and other acquisition fee revenue of $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2016, we generated gross origination fee and other acquisition fee revenue of $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) we are required to defer the net of debt origination fees and costs and recognize the revenue over the life of the loan. This treatment may not accurately reflect the amount of origination fee income received by us and used in operations for a given year.

Investors pay us an annual asset management fee that is currently generally equal to 1% annually of the net offering proceeds as of the end of each quarter or the net asset value (“NAV”) at the end of each prior quarter as set forth in the filings of each respective eREIT^TM. In some instances, Fundrise Advisors, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Manager of the eREITs^TM may waive the asset management fee in whole or in part and will, as a result, forfeit any portion of the asset management fee that is waived.

The equity capital we invest in the real estate assets enabled through the Fundrise Platform comes directly from investors. Our model is built specifically to leverage the economies of scale created by the Internet to cut out excessive fees, while also lowering execution costs and reducing both time and manual resources. Our end-to-end integrated web-platform transforms the real estate origination, underwriting, funding, and servicing processes, replacing expensive sales and management teams with online applications, implementing data driven decision making, and automating transactions through payment processing APIs (application programming interfaces).

In November 2015, we expanded our product offerings by launching the first ever eREIT^TM investment, an intended diversified real estate investment trust, available directly to investors online. As of September 30, 2016, we have a total of five sponsored eREITs^TMqualified under Regulation A. Through the Fundrise Platform, we reduced upfront fees and costs by up to 90% when compared to publicly traded REITs and public non-traded REITs, by eliminating high-fee broker-dealers and investment bankers, while removing the double promote (where sponsors receive returns in more than one place in the distribution waterfall) common with real estate private equity. Our direct online investment model allows us, through our sponsored programs, to more efficiently raise capital than conventional institutional capital. The average size of the real estate assets originated by us and our affiliates has increased from approximately $0.5 million to $1.6 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The average size of the real estate assets originated by us and our affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was approximately $5.7 million.

Other than our co-investments as the sponsor in the various eREITs^TM, we typically do not assume the long-term credit risk of the investments facilitated through the Fundrise Platform. However, from time to time, we or our affiliates, may bridge or warehouse investments for the eREITs^TM or other sponsored programs. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fundrise, L.P. – Sidecar Investment Fund.” As a result, a portion of our revenue comes from (i) interest earned from real estate assets we hold in this warehousing capacity and (ii) distributions from investments we make in our Programs.

Program investors can invest in one or all of the following channels that are offered through the Fundrise Platform, which we refer to in this offering circular as our Programs:

We have experienced significant growth since the Fundrise Platform launched in 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, we sponsored investments available to third party investors through our platform of approximately $9.0 million and $58.0 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 544%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sponsored roughly $103.4 million in investment in real estate assets through the Fundrise Platform, including investments made through the eREITs^TM, representing an increase of approximately 129% from the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, our total net revenue was $0.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of over 1,000%. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our total net revenue continued to increase to roughly $3.5 million. We believe that our revenue in 2015 has lagged our growth in assets under management as a result of a deliberate low-fee model similar to the Vanguard mutual fund investment philosophy, where the costs of investment vehicles are kept to a strict minimum. For example, with respect to the Income eREIT^TM, which is the first eREIT^TM investment vehicle we sponsored, our wholly-owned affiliated manager, Fundrise Advisors, LLC, agreed to waive its asset management fees until December 31, 2017 if the Income eREIT^TMdoes not achieve an annual, non-compounded return equal to 15%. We consider this low-fee, investor-centric approach a form of radical investment accountability.

Our historical measured growth rates in facilitating investments through the Fundrise Platform reflect a deliberate strategy that allowed us to build and develop the various enterprise functions to support our scale, including operations, risk controls, customer support, compliance and technology. Demand from real estate operators and investors will continue to inform our business and investment product decisions, but we have so far refused to compromise the long-term quality of our underwriting to pursue excessive near-term growth rates that we believe would result in investment performance below our standards.

The following graph represents the total, cumulative dollar amount of debt and equity investments that we (or our affiliates) have originated from third-party sources since January 2013 through December 23, 2016:

The following graph represents the total cumulative dollar amount of real estate property that we (or our affiliates) have originated from third-party sources since January 2013 through December 23, 2016:

We incurred net losses of $4.1 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of December 20, 2016, we have forty-three (43) full time employees, primarily based in Washington, DC.

The core elements of our growth strategy include enrolling new investors, broadening our origination capabilities, enhancing our technology infrastructure, expanding our product offerings, and extending customer lifetime value. We plan to continue to invest significant resources to accomplish these goals, and we anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future, particularly our sales and marketing, technology, and origination expenses. These investments are intended to contribute to our long-term growth, but they may affect our near term profitability.

Our revenues have grown since 2014 primarily as a result of growth in originations. Growth in originations has been driven by the addition of new assets under management, increasing investment from our existing and new investors, and increasing average investment size.

We anticipate that our future growth will continue to depend in part on attracting new investors and real estate operators. We plan to increase our sales and marketing spending to attract these customers as well as continuing to increase our origination efforts to better attract potential real estate operators. As we have invested more funds in our digital marketing efforts and focused on developing relationships with real estate operators, we expect to increase our investments at a faster rate than in the past.

We originate our real estate investments with the Fundrise Platform and through our in-house real estate team. We generate revenue from origination fees paid by real estate operators in connection with debt and equity investment originations. We believe originations are a key indicator of the growth rate of our marketplace, credibility of our brand, scale of our business, strength of our network effect, and economic competitiveness of our products and future growth. Real estate originations have increased significantly over time due to the increased awareness of our brand, our high real estate operator and investor satisfaction rates, the effectiveness of our acquisition channels, a strong track record of investment performance and the expansion of our capital base. Factors that could affect debt and equity investment originations include the interest rate and economic environment, the competitiveness of our cost of capital, the success of our operational efforts to balance demands from investors and real estate operators, our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products for real estate operators and investors, the success of our sales and marketing initiatives and the success of developing relationships with real estate operator and acquiring and retaining investors.

The demand for our products from real estate operators and investors is dependent upon, respectively, the cost of capital offered to real estate operators and the return earned by our Program investors relative to other comparable or substitute products. General economic factors and conditions, including the general interest rate environment and unemployment rates, may affect real estate operators’ willingness to seek investment capital for real estate investment opportunities and investor ability and desire to invest in real estate. For example, a significant interest rate increase could cause potential real estate operators to defer new projects or financing. Additionally, if weakness in the economy emerges and actual or expected default rates increase, investors in our Programs may delay or reduce their investments. However, we believe our platform will continue to offer an attractive value proposition to real estate operators and investors in all economic and interest rate environments relative to other alternatives.

Our ability to attract real estate operators and investors to our platform is significantly dependent on our ability to effectively evaluate the quality and future performance of a real estate investment opportunities. Our ability to effectively underwrite the risk impacts our ability to offer attractive investment returns for investors as well as our ability to offer competitive cost of capital for real estate operators with which we partner, both of which directly relate to our members’ confidence in our platform. Our proprietary underwriting process and digital data backbone provide us with an efficient system to assess the risk and creditworthiness of each real estate investment opportunity. Our internal database driven system is constantly collecting new data points. Since our inception, we have received and reviewed more than 3,000 real estate transactions through our proprietary underwriting process. As our data set continues to expand with each new investment that is submitted for review and each ongoing monthly and quarterly detailed asset level report received, our internal infrastructure grows and analytical capabilities improve. Because the entire system is built on web-based, cloud technology and utilizes data driven analysis and decision-making, the model is continuously improving and increasing in efficiency as the volume of data points increase exponentially and our automated processes undergoes constant optimization.

Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, origination and servicing and general and administrative expenses, which includes engineering and product development and other general and administrative expenses.

Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of engagement of real estate operators and enrollment of investors in our Programs, including costs attributable to marketing and selling our products. This includes costs of building general brand awareness, and salaries and benefits expenses related to our investments and marketing teams.

Sales and marketing expense was $0.9 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, an increase of 181%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in marketing and push for enrollment of investors as we debuted our first eREIT^TM.

Sales and marketing expense was $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of 49%. The decrease was primarily due to the reimbursement of organizational and offering costs, including certain marketing costs in relation to the offering of shares by the eREITs^TM, to Fundrise Advisors, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Origination and servicing expense consists of costs attributable to activities that most directly relate to origination and servicing loans for real estate operators that are borrowers under our Programs and investors in our Programs, in addition to the salaries and benefits expense of our real estate team.

Origination and servicing expense was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, an increase of 27%. The slight increase was primarily due to a greater number of deals originated and serviced, but did not increase at the same rate as deal originations due to a substantial increase in the size of the deals being originated.

Origination and servicing expense was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 15%. The slight increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount in our real estate underwriting and origination teams.

Engineering and product development expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits expense for our engineering and product management teams. These teams work on the development and maintenance of the Fundrise Platform. Engineering and product development expense also includes non-capitalized hardware and software costs.

Engineering and product development expense was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, an increase of 70%. The increase was driven by investment in the Fundrise Platform and product development, which included an increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount.

We capitalized $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million in software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Engineering and product development expense was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 19%. The increase was driven by investment in the Fundrise Platform and product development, which included an increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount.

We capitalized $0.3 million and $0.4 million in software development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Other general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits expense for our accounting, legal, and operations teams, stock-based compensation for all eligible employees, and professional services fees. Other general and administrative expense also includes facilities and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Other general and administrative expense was $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, an increase of 18%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and stock-based compensation expense related to increased headcount as we continue to invest in infrastructure and support teams.

Other general and administrative expense was $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 54%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and stock-based compensation expense related to increased headcount as we continue to invest in infrastructure and support teams.

We regularly review a number of metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. (Tabular amounts in thousands, except percentages, or as noted.)

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our total net revenue was $2.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of over 1,000%. Total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 included $0.8 million of net origination fee revenue and $1.4 million of net interest income. Total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $0.1 million of net origination fee revenue and approximately $45,000 of net interest income.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our net origination fee revenue was $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 743%. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, loan origination fees and related loan origination costs for certain loans shall be offset and only the net amount shall be deferred over the life of the loan. Due to this GAAP reporting requirement, our Consolidated Statements of Operations only reflect the net amount of loan origination fee revenue and not the actual amount of loan origination fee income that was received by us and used in operations. Gross origination fee revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our total net revenue was $3.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 300%. Total net revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2016 included $1.3 million of net origination fee revenue and approximately $1.9 million of net interest income. Total net revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2015 included $0.3 million of net origination fee revenue and $0.6 million of net interest income.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our net origination fee revenue was $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 346%. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, loan origination fees and related loan origination costs for certain loans shall be offset and only the net amount shall be deferred over the life of the loan. Due to this GAAP reporting requirement, our Consolidated Statements of Operations only reflect the net amount of loan origination fee revenue and not the actual amount of loan origination fee income that was received by us and used in operations. Gross origination and other acquisition fee revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Note that gross origination and other acquisition fee revenue figures exclude amortization of net origination fees and costs that were previously deferred. For assets that are originated by us in our capacity as manager of the eREITs^TM, we recognize the full amount of our origination fees and costs immediately as the loan is held by each respective eREIT^TM, and our obligation with respect to origination activities is complete immediately once the asset is transferred to the eREIT^TM.

Stock-based compensation includes the expense related to restricted Class A Common Stock grants made to our employees. All stock-based awards made to employees are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their estimated fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of the shares granted has been established by our board of directors primarily based upon a Section 409A valuation provided by an independent third-party valuation firm or prepared by management.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of 4 years.

Share awards issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, which is estimated using the same methodology described above.

Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures, such that expense is recorded only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest. Forfeitures of awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates or if future forfeitures are expected to differ from recent actual or previously expected forfeitures. Our management has used an estimated forfeiture rate of 4% to modify the fair value of stock based compensation expense as of date of grant. The assumed forfeiture rate is the annual percentage of unvested stock options that are assumed to be forfeited or cancelled due to grantees discontinuing employment with us. Because service-based share awards normally vest over a four-year period, the forfeiture assumption is used to estimate the number of shares that are expected to vest in future periods, which affects the estimate of the forfeiture-adjusted aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to the shares. The forfeiture assumption was developed considering our actual annual forfeiture rates for unvested stock awards over the past four years and analyzing the distribution of unvested stock awards held by directors, executive officers, and other employees as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has not changed its forfeiture rate or other assumptions with respect to stock-based compensation expense. Holding other assumptions constant, a higher forfeiture rate reduces the number of shares expected to vest in future periods, which lowers the estimated forfeiture-adjusted aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to any affected stock awards.

Since inception through September 30, 2016, we have financed our operations primarily through private offerings of our equity securities.

We primarily hold our excess unrestricted cash in short-term interest-bearing money market funds at highly-rated financial institutions. We believe that our current capital position is sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs for at least the next 24 months, however, there can be no assurance that our current capital position will meet our liquidity needs for such period.

Since inception, we have raised $24.7 million from the sale of convertible preferred stock to third parties and management, in our Series A Preferred Stock financing commencing in April 2014. The funds received from the issuance of our Series A Preferred Stock are currently our primary source of capital for operating expenditures. We also use a portion of this capital to finance a small percentage of the asset volume we originate.

In addition, in July 2016, we raised $1,800 from the sale of Class M Common Stock to management. On December 10, 2016, the Company redeemed all of the Class M Common Stock for the original purchase amount. As of December 23, 2016, no shares of our Class M Common Stock remain issued and outstanding.

As part of the 2014 Series A Preferred Stock financing, we raised a $10 million sidecar private fund called Fundrise, L.P., which was formed to provide warehousing and financing support to assets originated and facilitated by the Fundrise Platform. Fundrise, L.P., is managed by Fundrise GP I, LLC, our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary.

As of June 30, 2016, we have issued and outstanding approximately $2 million of unsecured, variable interest rate demand promissory notes (the “Demand Notes”), which are payable upon demand from the holders of such Demand Notes, and have a variable annual interest rate that declines over time, depending on the length of time such Demand Notes are outstanding, as follows: (i) 1-30 days – 3.0%; (ii) 31-60 days – 2.0%; (iii) 61-90 days – 1.0%; (iv) 91+ days – 0.5%. In addition, we may redeem the Demand Notes at any time, without penalty, at our sole discretion.

In September 2016 we suspended, indefinitely, the sale of new Demand Notes and redeemed all outstanding Demand Notes.

At Rise Companies, our mission is to provide a simple, low-cost alternative for individuals to earn a better, more stable return on their investments.

Today, the primary option for individuals to invest their savings is the Wall Street model of public markets. We believe that these public markets are broken and now operate at the expense of the individual investor rather than on their behalf. Too often, we have seen investment managers choose to maximize their own short-term gains at the expense of their investors. They are bogged down by conflicts of interest and inefficiencies created by an old-fashioned, legacy system. This results in high costs and fees, a high degree of uncertainty, and too low returns for individual investors.

Fundrise is a direct-to-investor alternative investment model with a mission to deliver better overall, stable returns by using a vertically integrated web-based technology platform and new regulations to allow retail investors to invest in real estate.

We believe that to earn the trust of investors in our Programs, we must act differently than the accepted industry norm by giving the early adopters of our investment model the opportunity to participate with us in any potential future success of Rise Companies (the occurrence of which cannot be assured).

We believe that in order to continue pursuing this mission, we must not only create a simple, transparent, low-cost model, but must also align our long-term interests with those of investors in our Programs. Accordingly, as the next step in this ongoing mission, we are giving our investors an opportunity to become owners with us of Rise Companies.

We intend to initially limit the offer and sale of our Class B Common Stock in this offering solely to investors who have purchased one or more investments sponsored by us. While a variety of institutional capital options exist (in the form of venture capital funds, private equity funds, and other institutional capital sources), we believe that choosing to offer shares of our Class B Common Stock to our most loyal investors is in the best long-term interests of Rise Companies and its ability to pursue its central mission.

As real estate investors and developers, our founders saw first-hand the potential benefits of investing in and owning commercial real estate. However, too often, much of the profits from those investments ended up lost in the current inefficient, old-fashioned institutionalized investment system, with little opportunity for individual investors to participate on favorable terms.

So, we created the Fundrise Platform, an online investment platform located at www.fundrise.com, with one simple idea: use technology to drive a better, more stable investment alternative for everyone.

As of December 2016, we have more than 123,000 members and we sponsored approximately $200 million in both equity and debt investments by our members deployed across more than approximately $1.15 billion of real estate property.

Through our proprietary web-based technology, we make the process of investing in quality commercial real estate simple, efficient, and transparent. By giving people the power to invest directly online, we are able to dramatically lower costs, which we believe will result in better returns.

The following graph represents the total, cumulative dollar amount of debt and equity investments that we (or our affiliates) have originated from January 2013 through June 30, 2016:

We believe the trends in the traditional real estate capital markets have created an opportunity for our online, direct investment model to facilitate more efficient deployment of capital and achieve both lower-cost of financing for real estate operators and more attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors in our Programs.

We own and operate the Fundrise Platform, a leading online, direct investment technology platform located at www.fundrise.com. We believe technology-powered investment is a more efficient mechanism than the conventional financial system to invest in real estate and other assets. Enabled by our proprietary technology, we aggregate thousands of individuals from across the country to create the scale of an institutional investor without the high fees and overhead typical of the old-fashioned investment business. Individuals can invest through the Fundrise Platform at ultra-low costs for what we believe is a more transparent, web-based experience. Investors use the Fundrise Platform to potentially earn attractive risk-adjusted returns from an asset classes that have generally been closed to many investors and only available to high net worth investors and institutions.

Excluding whole loan co-investors and real estate debt and equity originated but not fully drawn down, the average amount invested across both the eREIT^TM and Project Dependent Notes programs is approximately $15,750 per unique investor and the average amount invested in the eREIT^TM program is approximately $9,780 per unique investor.

By combining sound investment principles with our proprietary web-based technology, we believe we have built a solution that will transform how the real estate capital markets operate, increasing their efficiency and transparency. Our model is built specifically to leverage the economies of scale created by the Internet to cut out excessive fees, while also lowering execution costs and reducing both time and manual resources.

We believe we are participating in and driving the third wave of a paradigm shift in the financial industry similar to the invention of and move to online brokerages and online payment systems that occurred in the late 1990s and 2000s, and the “marketplace lending” and automated registered investment advisors movements in the 2000s and 2010s.

We believe that the first wave of this paradigm was from physical brokerages to online brokerages, such as E*TRADE Financial Corp., TD Ameritrade Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp. According to each of their Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2016, E*TRADE Financial Corp., TD Ameritrade Corp., and Charles Schwab Corp. have grown their customer bases to 3,254,000, 6,777,000, and 9,869,000 accounts, respectively, with $284.5 billion, $711.2 billion, $2,556.7 billion in client assets, respectively. In addition, this wave of innovation saw the rise of online payment systems companies, such as PayPal Holdings, Inc. and Square, Inc. According to its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, PayPal, Inc. currently has approximately 188 million active customer accounts and processed approximately $167 billion in online payments during the six-months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, according to its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2016, Square, Inc. processed approximately $316 million in payments to millions of sellers during the six-months ended June 30, 2016.

We believe the second wave of this paradigm shift is represented by “marketplace lending” companies such as LendingClub Corp. and Prosper Marketplace, Inc., as well as the move towards automated registered investment advisors, such as Wealthfront Inc. and Betterment, LLC. According to their respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2016, LendingClub Corp. and Prosper Marketplace, Inc. have cumulatively originated, since their respective inceptions, approximately $21.5 billion and $4.5 billion in consumer loans, respectively. In addition, according to their Forms ADV, dated August 10, 2016 and August 2, 2016, respectively, Wealthfront Inc. and Betterment, LLC have grown their assets under management to approximately $4.0 billion (with 80,975 accounts) and $5.1 billion (with 215,402 accounts), respectively.

However, unlike online brokerage platforms, online payment processors, marketplace lending platforms, or automated registered investment advisors, we are focused on sponsoring and directly offering to investors (without the costs associated with such intermediaries), alternative investments, in particular real estate, which, according to a February 2015 report by McKinsey & Company, as an asset class (defined as real estate, private equity and hedge funds) hit a record high of $7.2 trillion in 2013 and was growing at 10.7% per year – twice the annualized rate of traditional investments.

Our end-to-end integrated web-platform transforms the real estate origination, underwriting, funding, and servicing processes; replacing expensive sales and management teams with online applications, implementing data driven decision-making, and automating transactions through payment processing APIs (application programming interfaces). Through our direct-to-the-investor investment platform, we believe we allow an individual investor to invest in the value (price per square foot) and yields available in the private real estate market.

Simultaneously, the web-platform allows for the seamless purchase of interests in private real estate investments, performance tracking and reporting through a personalized dashboard, and automated account management and maintenance, including financial updates and tax reporting. This allows us to service thousands of investors at a fraction of the cost of conventional, offline management typical in real estate.

Because the entire system is built on web-based, cloud technology and utilizes data driven analysis and decision-making, the model is continuously improving and increasing in efficiency as the volume of data points increase exponentially and our automated processes undergo constant optimization. As shown in the chart below, this efficiency has resulted in the fee loads paid by investors potentially being reduced by 490 basis points if they invest in an online platform rather than in a traditional private equity firm.

We believe that investors in general, and younger investors in particular, prefer to invest through a web platform rather than a conventional paper or in person process. As of June 30, 2016, the average age of investors in our Programs was 38 years old. According to a 2011 Aite Group report, New Realities in Wealth Management, online brokerages manage 19% of the wealth management industry’s $13.5 trillion in client investment assets, versus the 38% managed by the wirehouses. The study also reported that, at the end of 2010, the four largest wirehouses (Bank of America Merrill Lynch, UBS, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo Advisors) represented slightly more than 55,000 financial advisors and $5.2 trillion in total client assets. Combined with the fact, per Thomson Reuters, that the average revenue per financial advisor is nearly $700,000 per year, there is approximately $38.5 billion a year in advisory fees at risk of technology driven disintermediation.

Our eREIT^TM Programs have adopted a redemption plan whereby on a quarterly basis, shareholders may request that the eREIT^TM redeem at least 25% or more of their shares. Based on an assessment of the eREIT’s^TM liquid resources and redemption requests, the eREIT’s^TM Manager, Fundrise Advisors, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, has the authority, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions by each shareholder during any quarter, including if the Manager deems such action to be in the best interest of the shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the redemption program, for the first eighty-nine days following the settlement of the common shares subject to the redemption request (the “Introductory Period”), the per share redemption price will be equal to the purchase price of the shares being redeemed less any distributions received during that period. Shareholders that redeemed during the introductory period will not be allocated any dividends that were declared but unpaid during this period.

Beginning on the ninetieth day following the settlement of the common shares the eREIT^TM may redeem shares with a per share redemption price calculated based on the most current Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share. The redemption price is subject to the following discounts, depending upon when the shares are redeemed:

In addition, the redemption price will be reduced by the aggregate sum of distributions, if any, declared on the shares subject to the redemption request with record dates during the period between the quarter-end redemption request date and the redemption date.

Because the eREIT’s^TMNAV per share will be calculated at the end of each quarter based on the schedule set forth by each eREIT^TM, the redemption price may change between the date the eREIT^TM receives the redemption request and the date on which redemption proceeds are paid. As a result, the redemption price that a shareholder will receive may be different from the redemption price on the day the redemption request is made.

The following graph shows the total, cumulative amount of distributions, including distributions of returns and principal, that our Programs have made to investors since January 2014 through June 2016:

* “REIT Dividends” represents the total cumulative amount of distributions that have been made to common shareholders of the eREITs^TM.

Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC’s dividend distributions have been entirely from its operating income.

In Q1 2016 and Q2 2016, Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC’s dividend distributions exceeded income from investments by $0.257 million. This was done to (i) ensure Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC meets the requirement of annually distributing 90% of taxable income to ensure qualification as a real estate investment trust, and (ii) to provide for daily dividends to ensure that early investors were not disadvantaged vis-a-vis later investors once the assets began cash-flowing. Generally, when dividend distributions exceed current quarter funds from operations, a portion of these distributions are sourced by offering proceeds. We believe that, by the beginning of fiscal year 2017, all of the dividend distributions from Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC will be deemed to have been from taxable income and not offering proceeds.

* “Distributions (PDN Portfolios)” represents the total cumulative amount of distributions that have been made to the holders of portfolios of Project Dependent Notes. PDN Portfolios were pre-set bundles of Project Dependent Notes that were made available for purchase by investors. As with the other Project Dependent Notes, while certain amounts of securities remain outstanding, the offering of PDN Portfolios was suspended indefinitely in September 2016.

* “Distributions (Project Dependent Notes)” represents the total cumulative amount of distributions that have been made to the holders of individual series of Project Dependent Notes.

We believe, over time, real estate capital sourcing will move online to a digital search and online application process due to our superior process and pricing.

We believe the following competitive strengths differentiate us and serve as barriers for others seeking to enter our market:

Rise Companies is a high growth technology company with plans in the next three years to expand its current suite of sponsored offerings from five (5) eREITs^TM and other Regulation A qualified offerings to as many as twenty, or more, eREITs^TM and other Regulation A qualified offerings. Accordingly, management believes that, with each eREIT^TM permitted to raise up to $50 million per year pursuant to Regulation A, Rise Companies could potentially have $500 million to a $1 billion of annual fundraising capacity each year. In such a scenario, assuming a reasonable amount of continued growth, over a three to five year period, Rise Companies could build up to $3 to $5 billion of investment assets under management through the eREITs^TMand other sponsored offerings.

Beginning with inventing real estate crowdfunding in 2011 to introducing the eREIT^TM concept in 2015, Rise Companies has a history of product innovation. Rise Companies continues to invest in research and development, including legal, financial and technological innovations, among others, and has a number of new real estate technology and investment products under various stages of planning and development, none of which are guaranteed to come to fruition or be successful when introduced to the market. One of our current research and development projects, internally titled “Project X”, aims to solve one of the major real estate crises of our era, by unleashing the true power and potential of the crowd. While there can be no assurances that Project X or any other of our initiatives will be successful, we and our management strongly believe that long term success will come in the form of innovation towards the end goals of lowering the costs of intermediation, increasing transparency, and consistently improving the customer experience.

Our growth strategy is to increase the number of people that invest in commercial real estate through an online portal and thereby increase our fees and other revenue. Key drivers of our growth strategy include:

We own and operate, via a wholly-owned subsidiary or ours, the Fundrise Platform, which allows investors to become equity or debt holders in real estate opportunities that have been historically difficult to access for non-accredited investors. Through the use of the Fundrise Platform, investors can browse and screen real estate investments, view details of an investment and execute subscription documents online.

We are an online investment and asset management company that specializes in real estate investments. We use industry-specific expertise to evaluate, originate, service and manage investment opportunities through our real estate, financial fund management. As a specialized asset manager, we seek to develop real estate investment vehicles for external investors, for which we provide asset management services, typically under long-term management arrangements either through a contract with, or as the manager or general partner of, our sponsored investment vehicles.

We limit our investment vehicle development and management services to asset classes where we have specific expertise. We believe this strategy enhances the return on investment we can achieve for our investment vehicles. In our real estate operations on behalf of our Programs, we concentrate on the ownership, operation and management of multifamily and commercial real estate and real estate mortgage loans, including whole mortgage loans, first priority interests in commercial mortgage loans, known as A notes, subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, known as B notes, mezzanine loans, joint-venture equity, and investments in “value-added” properties, which require substantial improvements to reach their full investment potential.

We operate nationally, with our Programs collectively, as of December 1, 2016, having real estate investments in 18 states, with investors in our Programs collectively from all 50 states:

Our board of directors is comprised of 4 members. The holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Class M Common Stock are entitled to elect two directors at any election of directors. So long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect one director at any election of directors. The remaining director is elected by holders of Series A Preferred Stock (voting on an as-converted basis) and Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Class M Common Stock, voting as a single class. As of December 10, 2016, there were no shares of Class M Common Stock outstanding.

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Messrs. [______] do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors would qualify as “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, if such rules applied to us. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions.”

On February 8, 2016, Mr. Michael McCord, our former Controller, and the former Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the manager of our eREITs^TM, abruptly and without notice, presented us with a severance agreement requiring a payment to Mr. McCord of approximately One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), as well as the vesting of all his outstanding stock awards in our Company. Mr. McCord claimed that if the severance agreement was not executed within approximately 2 hours, that he would provide the SEC with evidence of us improperly handling two real estate transactions. Due to Mr. McCord’s refusal to participate in our internal review, Mr. McCord was placed on administrative leave on February 8, 2016, and, following further disruptive acts on the part of Mr. McCord, was terminated on February 9, 2016.

Although we believe the claims to be baseless, we immediately provided Mr. McCord with an opportunity to provide more clarity as to his claims, as well as engaged a registered public accounting firm, which is not affiliated with Aronson LLC (the “Public Accounting Firm”) to conduct an investigation of our prior investment programs. Based on the results of our own investigation, as supported by the report of the Public Accounting Firm, we continue to believe that there is no merit or reasonable basis to Mr. McCord’s allegations.

In addition, we concluded that our methodology for valuing the two assets that were involved in the transactions was generally consistent with typical valuation methodology and were considered reasonable. The resulting fair value conclusions for the two real estate transactions were each greater than our financial basis in the investments, and were deemed reasonable based on independent testing by the Public Accounting Firm of the applicable approaches to value. Further, based on the Public Accounting Firm’s research of joint-venture equity structures in the marketplace, as well as current mezzanine loan interest rates, we concluded that the financial basis in each of the investments was reasonable. Further, as discussed in Note 3 and Note 6 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, none of the Company’s loans were deemed impaired and all investments were considered to be performing as of the end of each fiscal year. Further, as discussed in Note 3 to the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the six-months ended June 30, 2016, management did not deem any loans to be impaired and all investments were considered to be performing as of the end of the six-month period.

Finally, the Public Accounting Firm was engaged to review the cash inflows and outflows with respect to the Project Dependent Note investment program. Based on such review, which included tracing funds to the applicable investment and bank statements, we concluded that all funds received and distributed (through interest and repayment) were appropriately accounted for without exception.

The following table sets forth information about the annual compensation of each of the three highest paid persons who were executive officers or directors during 2015, which was our last completed fiscal year.

(1) Mr. Shin’s other compensation included (i) a cash bonus of $8,250 and (ii) a grant of 50,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $5,500 at the time of grant. The vesting schedule of Mr. Shin’s grant of restricted shares follows the vesting schedule described in footnote 3 below.

(2) Mr. Hall’s other compensation included (i) a cash bonus of $8,750 and (ii) a grant of 100,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock, valued at $11,000 at the time of grant. The vesting schedule of Mr. Hall’s grant of restricted shares follows the vesting schedule described in footnote 3 below.

(3) Under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, we may grant unrestricted and restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, executives, directors, and consultants. An aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under the 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan. The restricted stock granted through December 31, 2015 generally follows a vesting schedule whereby 25% of the award vests twelve months from the vesting commencement date, and 6.25% vest quarterly thereafter, provided the grantee remains continuously employed by us through each vesting date; however, the board of directors retains the authority to grant shares or options with different terms. Currently, there are nor performance formulas or measures in effect, other than the passage of time, for the time period over which the restricted stock grants vest.

The aggregate annual compensation of our directors as a group (which consists of 4 persons) during 2015 was approximately $200,000.

Compensation to be paid to the three individuals listed in the table above as well as to our directors for 2016 is expected to be at the same levels as 2015.

Other than the 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, we do not have any other ongoing plans or arrangements whereby compensation may be paid in the future.

In addition to the compensation arrangements, discussed in the section “Compensation of our Directors and Executive Officers” and the registration rights described in the section “Securities Being Offered,” the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2014 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

We were conceived of by Benjamin Miller, and self-funded by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller from inception in 2012 until 2014. In April 2014, in exchange for contributing to us the intellectual property and other assets used by us, Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller each received 5,000,000 shares of Class F Common Stock.

Additionally, we have granted restricted shares of Class A Common Stock under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan to our executive officers, directors and certain holders of more than 10% of a given class of our outstanding capital stock, in their capacities as our employees. See “Security Ownership of Management and Certain Securityholders.”

From April 14, 2014 through October 10, 2014, we sold an aggregate of 11,865,046 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at a cash purchase price of $2.1872 per share or pursuant to the automatic conversion of certain convertible promissory notes, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24.7 million (including the purchase price paid for the convertible promissory notes).

The following table summarizes the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by our executive officers, directors, holders of more than 10% of a given class of our outstanding capital stock or any immediate family member.

The related parties who are signatories to the Voting Agreement include Benjamin Miller, Daniel Miller, Herb Miller, Patrice Miller, Renren Linahe Holdings, David Miller, Caroline Miller, Tal Kerret, and WestMiller Capital Partners, LLC. Certain other individuals who are not related parties are also signatories to the Voting Agreement.

The initial three real estate properties we used to assess the effectiveness of the Fundrise Platform were managed and owned by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller. Specifically, from 2011 to 2014, each of 1351 H Street NE, LLC, 906 H Street NE, LLC, and 1539 7^th Street NW, LLC, all of which invested in properties located in Washington, DC, utilized the Fundrise Platform to conduct three separate Regulation A offerings to raise $325,000, $350,000, and $350,000, respectively. We received no transaction-based compensation from these deals and, at the time, we were wholly-owned by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller. These properties currently continue to use the Fundrise Platform solely for online investor relations and dividend distributions.

Through April 2014, we raised $3,359,041 in convertible notes from a number of parties, including related parties. Convertible notes of $545,825 from Benjamin Miller, $545,825 from Daniel Miller, and $806,365 from WestMill Capital Partners LLC, a private limited liability company jointly and equally owned in its entirety by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller, were converted into a total of 867,793 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. Additional related party investments in the convertible notes included Herbert Miller (Messrs. Millers’ father), Patrice Miller (Messrs. Millers’ stepmother and mother, respectively), David Miller (Messrs. Millers’ brother), and Caroline Miller (Messrs. Millers’ sister), which investment amounts totaled $157,193, $131,219, $80,260, $80,260, respectively. These related party investments were made under the same terms as other investors in the convertible notes.

Benjamin Miller, Daniel Miller, and Herbert Miller each have invested in Project Dependent Notes issued by our sponsored Programs. In all cases, these Project Dependent Notes were purchased under the same terms as any other investor on the Fundrise Platform and the parties received no special benefits not shared on a pro-rata basis by all holders of the notes.

See the section titled “Securities Being Offered—Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors.”

We intend that all future affiliated transactions be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. We previously implemented a conflicts of interest policy, which requires a majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors to approve affiliated transactions.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding capital stock as of December 15, 2016 for the following: (i) each of the our directors and executive officers, (ii) all persons who are our directors and executive officers as a group and (iii) any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of our outstanding capital stock.

We calculated percentage ownership prior to this offering based on 24,498,321 shares of our capital stock outstanding as of December 15, 2016, which consisted of 2,633,275 shares of Class A Common Stock, 0 shares of Class B Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class F Common Stock, 0 shares of Class M Common Stock and 11,865,046 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. In computing the beneficial ownership of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, we deemed a person to be the beneficial owner of all restricted shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued to such person under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan regardless of whether such shares have vested, as our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan provides that, unless we provide otherwise, a grantee of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to vote such shares regardless of whether such shares have vested. Unless noted otherwise, no person listed in the table below has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares of capital stock within 60 days of December 15, 2016.

To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes below, each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock shown as beneficially owned by that stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each person named in the table below is c/o Rise Companies Corp., 1601 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20009.

The following is a summary of the rights of holders of our Class B Common Stock (the securities being offered), as well as the rights of holders of our other classes of common stock and preferred stock, and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws as they are currently in effect. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to this offering circular.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we have the authority to issue an aggregate of [_______] shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) [________] shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 43,000,000 are designated as “Class A Common Stock,” [________] are designated as “Class B Common Stock,” 10,000,000 are designated as “Class F Common Stock” and 18,000,000 are designated as “Class M Common Stock,” and (ii) 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, all of which are designated as “Series A Preferred Stock.”

Selected provisions of our organizational documents are summarized below. In addition, you should be aware that the summary below does not describe or give full effect to the provisions of statutory or common law which may affect your rights as a stockholder.

As of December 15, 2016, 2,633,275 shares of Class A Common Stock, 0 shares of Class B Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class F Common Stock and 0 shares of Class M Common Stock were issued and outstanding. As of December 15, 2016, we had 2,633,275 outstanding restricted shares of Class A Common Stock granted to employees and other service providers, and an additional 1,966,725 shares of Class A Common Stock available and reserved for issuance pursuant to our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan. Our Class M Common Stock, which was redeemable (at par plus any declared but unpaid dividends) at any time at our election or the election of a majority of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, was redeemed in full as of December 10, 2016.

In addition to the rights provided under Delaware law, certain rights and obligations of the common stock are set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. In addition to the approval requirements of Delaware law, an amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws may also require the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of our preferred stock pursuant to the protective provisions set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Voting rights. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of our Class B Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our Class F Common Stock are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our Class M Common Stock are entitled to nine (9) votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Class M Common Stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters, and are entitled to elect two directors at any election of directors.

Dividends, distributions and stock splits. Holders of our common stock, on a pari passu basis with holders of our preferred stock, are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. In the event that such dividends are paid in the form of shares of common stock or rights to acquire common stock, the holders may only receive such shares or rights to acquire such shares from their respective classes of stock.

Liquidation. In the event of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the our assets, (ii) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity (unless it is a merger or consolidation in which the holders of our capital stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of our capital stock or the capital stock of the surviving or acquiring entity), (iii) closing of the transfer of our securities to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of our securities) if after such closing such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of our outstanding voting stock (or of the surviving or acquiring entity), or (iv) dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary ((i) through (iv) each being a “Liquidation Event”), after payment of our debts and other liabilities and making provisions for any holders of our preferred stock who have a liquidation preference, our remaining assets will be distributed ratably among the holders of common stock.

Fully paid. All the shares of our common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and nonassessable.

Conversion rights. Holders of our Class B Common Stock do not have any conversion rights. Holders of our Class F Common Stock may convert each share of Class F Common Stock into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at any time upon written notice to our transfer agent. Each share of Class F Common Stock will automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer, provided however, that such automatic conversion will not be triggered if (i) such transfer is between (x) a Class F stockholder (or any of such Class F stockholder’s Permitted Entities (as such term is defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation)) and (y) any other Class F stockholder or such Class F stockholder’s Permitted Entities or (ii) a transfer by a Class F stockholder to any of the Permitted Entities. Each share of Class F Common Stock will automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the death of such holder of Class F.

Redemption rights. Holders of our Class B Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Class A Common Stock have no redemption rights. Holders of our Class M Common Stock have certain redemption rights as described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. We have a call option on our Class M Common Stock such that, at any time, we will have the ability to redeem any outstanding shares of Class M Common Stock by paying in cash a sum per share equal to the par value for such shares of Class M Common Stock plus all declared but unpaid dividend on such shares (the “Redemption Price”). Additionally, if at any time we receive a written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock (voting together as a single class and not as a separate series, and on an as-converted basis), we are required to redeem that number of shares of Class M Common stock as the preferred holders so specify at the Redemption Price. However, as of December 23, 2016, there were no shares of Class M Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Registration rights. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for our securities. Certain holders of our Class F Common Stock have piggyback registration rights pursuant to our Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement dated as of April 14, 2014 (the “IRA”).

Transfer restrictions. Holders of our Class B Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class B Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer if our board of directors delegates such authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such transfer restrictions shall not apply (i) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock who is an individual, to certain transfers made without consideration for bona fide estate planning purposes and (ii) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock that is an entity, to certain transfers made without consideration to such entity’s stockholders, members, partners, other equity holders or affiliates. Holders of our Class M Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class M Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer if our board of directors delegates such authority.

Personal Conduct Repurchase Option. In the event that a holder of our Class B Common Stock fails to conform his/her/its personal conduct to common and accepted standards of good citizenship or conducts himself/herself/itself in a way that reflects poorly upon us, as determined by our board of directors in its sole, but good faith, discretion, our board of directors may elect, at its sole discretion, to cause us to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder of Class B Common Stock. In connection with any repurchase of Class B Common Stock, the price paid to the applicable holder of Class B Common Stock shall be equal to the aggregate original purchase price paid for the shares plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

Inspection Rights. Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware allows a stockholder of a company to inspect for any proper purpose, a company’s stock ledger, list of stockholders, and other books and records and the books and records of a company’s subsidiary in certain circumstances. Holders of our Class B Common Stock will agree to waive the inspection rights set forth in Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. However, as a company subject to the reporting requirements under Regulation A, we must publicly file certain annual, semi-annual and current reports, which will include audited financials and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 15, 2016, 11,865,046 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

Voting rights. Each share of our preferred stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock into which such preferred stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder will have equal voting rights and powers to that of holders of Class A Common Stock. So long as at least 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect one director at any election of directors and are entitled to certain protective provisions.

Dividends, distributions and stock splits. Holders of our preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis with holders of shares of common stock when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends. Dividends will be distributed among holders of preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of preferred stock were converted.

Liquidation. In the event of any Liquidation Event, the holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable original issue price of $2.1872 per share, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share.

Conversion rights. Holders of our preferred stock may convert each share of preferred stock into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock, determined by dividing the applicable original issue price for such shares of preferred stock by the applicable conversion price for such series, as adjusted for certain anti-dilution protections. The issuance of our Class B Common Stock will not trigger any conversion price adjustments for the preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the conversion rate at the time in effect, immediately upon the earlier of the closing of the sale of our common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act or the date or event specified by vote, written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Other rights. Holders of our preferred stock have other rights such as demand, piggyback, and S-3 registration rights, information rights and preemptive rights pursuant to the IRA. The holders of our preferred stock also have rights of first refusal and co-sale with respect to certain transfers made by certain holders of our common stock. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, no capital stock may be repurchased or redeemed by us without the approval of the majority of the then outstanding shares of our preferred stock, except for the repurchase of shares of common stock from persons performing services for us pursuant to agreements under which we have the option to repurchase such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment or service, pursuant to a right of first refusal, or pursuant the redemption of Class M Common Stock set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation permits us to provide indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to very limited exceptions.

We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that will, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify executive officers and directors against certain liabilities, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct, that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. We are also required to advance amounts to or on behalf of our officers and directors in the event of claims or actions against them. We believe that these indemnification arrangements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as our directors and executive officers.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain certain provisions that could discourage potential takeover attempts and make it more difficult for our stockholders to change management or receive a premium for their shares.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover provision, generally prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. A “business combination” includes a merger, sale of 10.0% or more of our assets and certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. For purposes of Section 203, an “interested stockholder” is defined to include any person that is:

Although Section 203 is not applicable to us as of the date of this offering circular, because we do not currently have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, we may become subject to Section 203 in the future. In the event that we become subject to Section 203 or otherwise, our stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, elect for us not to be governed by Section 203, effective 12 months after adoption. Currently, neither our amended and restated certificate of incorporation nor our bylaws exempt us from the restrictions imposed under Section 203. It is anticipated that, if applicable to us, the provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Appointment and Removal of Officers and Directors. Members of our board of directors may be removed with the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, with or without cause. Vacancies and newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of our directors then in office, though less than a quorum. In lieu of filling any vacancy, the board of directors may reduce the number of directors. The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board of directors, establish one or more committees consisting of one or more directors that can exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors, limited by any action expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be submitted for stockholder approval or the amendment of the bylaws.

Our officers will consist of one or more presidents, a treasurer, a secretary, and such other officers, including, without limitation, a chief executive officer and one or more vice presidents, assistant vice presidents, assistant treasurers and assistant secretaries, as determined by the board of directors. The board of directors may remove any officer with or without cause by a majority vote of the directors.

Amendments to Charter and Bylaws. Generally, we reserve the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, except with respect to certificate provisions relating to the indemnification of directors, officers, employees, agents or other persons. The amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires the adoption of a resolution by our board of directors and a majority vote of stockholders at either a special meeting or the next annual meeting of stockholders. Any amendment to our bylaws requires the approval of stockholders or the board of directors, provided that (i) the board of directors may not amend any provision of the bylaws which by law, by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or by our bylaws requires action by the stockholders and (ii) any amendment of our bylaws by the board of directors and any new bylaws adopted by the board of directors may be amended by the stockholders.

Restrictions on Transferability. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains restrictions on the holders of Class B Common Stock to transfer their shares. See “Plan of Distribution – Transferability of our Class B Common Stock” for more information.

As of the date of this offering circular, we have not engaged a transfer agent, and do not intend to engage a transfer agent until such time as we are required to do so in order to satisfy the conditional exemption contained in Rule 12g5-1(a)(7) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

We are offering up to 2,000,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock pursuant to this offering circular. Our Class B Common Stock being offered hereby will be primarily offered by associated persons of ours through the Fundrise Platform at www.fundrise.com. In conducting this offering, such persons intend to rely on the exemption from registration contained in Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1. For additional information about the Fundrise Platform, please see “Offering Circular Summary—About the Fundrise Platform.”

The Fundrise Platform is not subject to the registration requirements of Section 304 of the JOBS Act because it does not offer and sell securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act, and, therefore, does not meet the definition of a “funding portal.”

This offering circular will be furnished to prospective investors upon their request via electronic PDF format and will be available for viewing and download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the Fundrise Platform website, as well as on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

In order to subscribe to purchase our Class B Common Stock, a prospective investor must electronically complete, sign and deliver to us an executed subscription agreement in the form attached to this offering circular as Appendix A, and wire or ACH funds for its subscription amount in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

Settlement will be delayed for subscription agreements delivered before the $1,000,000 minimum threshold is met until such minimum threshold is met, and, after such minimum threshold is met, may occur up to 30 days after a prospective investor submits a subscription agreement, depending on the volume of subscriptions received. An investor will become a stockholder, including for tax purposes, and the shares will be issued, as of the date of settlement. Settlement will not occur until an investor’s funds have cleared and we accept the investor as a stockholder.

We intend to initially limit the offer and sale of our Class B Common Stock in this offering solely to investors who have purchased one or more investments sponsored by us.

We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Section 18(b)(4)(D)(ii) of the Securities Act. 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.

Our Class B Common Stock is being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A, this offering will be exempt from state “Blue Sky” law review, subject to certain state filing requirements and anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Class B Common Stock offered hereby is offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Class B Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange. “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Class B Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). However, our Class B Common Stock is being offered and sold only to those investors that are within the latter category (i.e., investors whose investment in our Class B Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the applicable amount), regardless of an investor’s status as an “accredited investor.” Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

We will not issue certificates. Instead, our Class B Common Stock will be recorded and maintained on our share register.

Holders of our Class B Common Stock may not transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber shares of Class B Common Stock (or any interest therein) without the prior written consent of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer if our board of directors delegates such authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such transfer restrictions shall not apply (i) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock who is an individual, to certain transfers made without consideration for bona fide estate planning purposes and (ii) in the case of a holder of Class B Common Stock that is an entity, to certain transfers made without consideration to such entity’s stockholders, members, partners, other equity holders or affiliates.

The proceeds of this offering will not be placed into an escrow account. We will offer our Class B Common Stock on a best efforts basis primarily through the online Fundrise Platform. We will not accept subscription payments associated with subscription agreements until we have raised at least $1,000,000 in this offering. At the time the minimum threshold is met, we will accept subscription payments, shares of Class B Common Stock will be issued, and investors will become stockholders. If we do not meet the minimum threshold within 12 months after commencing the offering, we will cancel the offering and release all investors from their commitments.

In addition to this offering circular, subject to limitations imposed by applicable securities laws, we expect to use additional advertising, sales and other promotional materials in connection with this offering. These materials may include information relating to this offering, the past performance of our Company and our affiliates, property brochures, articles and publications concerning real estate, or public advertisements and audio-visual materials, in each case only as authorized by us. In addition, the sales material may contain certain quotes from various publications without obtaining the consent of the author or the publication for use of the quoted material in the sales material. Although these materials will not contain information in conflict with the information provided by this offering circular and will be prepared with a view to presenting a balanced discussion of risk and reward with respect to our Class B Common Stock, these materials will not give a complete understanding of this offering, us or our Class B Common Stock and are not to be considered part of this offering circular. This offering is made only by means of this offering circular and prospective investors must read and rely on the information provided in this offering circular in connection with their decision to invest in our Class B Common Stock.

We intend to initially limit the offer and sale of our Class B Common Stock in this offering solely to investors who have purchased one or more of the investments sponsored by us. Investors seeking to purchase our Class B Common Stock who have purchased one or more investments sponsored by us and who satisfy the “qualified purchaser” standards (see “State Law Exemption and Purchase Restrictions”) should proceed as follows:

By executing the subscription agreement and paying the total purchase price for our Class B Common Stock subscribed for, each investor agrees to accept the terms of the subscription agreement and attests that the investor meets the minimum standards of a “qualified purchaser”, and that such subscription for Class B Common Stock does not exceed 10% of the greater of such investor’s annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).

The minimum offering amount is $1,000,000 and we may not accept subscriptions until such time as we have received subscriptions equaling the minimum offering amount. Prior to our achieving the minimum offering amount, subscribers may revoke their subscription by providing us with a written notice requesting such rescission, to be sent to the following address:

We will not draw funds from any subscriber until the date we achieve the minimum offering amount or the date your subscription is accepted, whichever is later. If we accept your subscription, we will email you a confirmation.

The minimum investment in our Class B Common Stock for initial purchases is [ ] shares, or $[__] based on the per share price. For investors that have satisfied the applicable minimum purchase requirement for initial purchases, there are no minimum purchase requirements for additional purchases.

The financial statements of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC, a partially-owned and consolidated subsidiary of Rise Companies, for the year ended December 31, 2015 and included in the consolidated financial statements of Rise Companies for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been so included in reliance upon the report of RSM US, LLP, independent auditor, upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said report.

We have filed with the SEC an offering statement under the Securities Act on Form 1-A regarding this offering. This offering circular, which is part of the offering statement, does not contain all the information set forth in the offering statement and the exhibits related thereto filed with the SEC, reference to which is hereby made. Upon the qualification of the offering statement, we will be subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to Tier 2 companies whose securities are registered pursuant to Regulation A, and accordingly, we will file annual reports, semi-annual reports and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy the offering statement, the related exhibits and the reports and other information we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. You can also request copies of those documents, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing to the SEC. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information regarding the operation of the public reference rooms. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, information statements and other information regarding issuers that file with the SEC.

You may also request a copy of these filings at no cost, by writing, emailing or telephoning us at:

So long as we remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Regulation A, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year we will file on the SEC’s EDGAR website an annual report on Form 1-K. The annual report will contain audited financial statements and certain other financial and narrative information that we are required to provide to stockholders.

We also maintain a website at www.fundrise.com, where there may be additional information about our business, but the contents of that site are not incorporated by reference in or otherwise a part of this offering circular.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Rise Companies Corp., which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Loss, Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, and Cash Flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

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

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the 2015 financial statements of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC, a partially owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of approximately $13,399,000 as of December 31, 2015, and total revenues of approximately $30,000 for the period May 15, 2015 (inception) through December 31, 2015. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC as of December 31, 2015, and for the period May 15, 2015 (inception) through December 31, 2015, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

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

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rise Companies Corp. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the period from May 15, 2015 (inception) through December 31, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, financial statements).

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

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from May 15, 2015 (inception) through December 31, 2015, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts, ratios, or as noted)

Rise Companies Corp. (“Rise”, “Rise Companies Corp.”, “we”, “our”, the “Company”, and “us”) is the parent company of Fundrise, LLC (“Fundrise”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. Fundrise owns and operates an online investment platform, www.fundrise.com, (the “Fundrise Platform”) that allows investors to become equity or debt holders in alternative investment opportunities. Fundrise Lending, LLC (“Fundrise Lending”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise and a licensed finance lender in the State of California that facilitates real estate loans (“Loans”). National Commercial Real Estate Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise and that has historically acquired loans from Fundrise Lending, LLC and held them for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased project-dependent notes (“Notes”) issued by the Trust and that are related to specific underlying loans for the benefit of the investor. Fundrise Investments Manager, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise, acts as a Class B Member and manager of Fundrise 3 World Trade Center, LLC. Fundrise Advisors, LLC (“Fundrise Advisors”) is a registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise that acts as the non-member manager for the real estate investment trusts sponsored by the Company and offered for investment via the Fundrise Platform. As of December 31, 2015, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC was the first of these real estate investment trust sponsored programs (the “eREITs^TM”). Fundrise, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fundrise, L.P.”), is an affiliate of Rise and was created with the intent to directly benefit Rise by driving its growth and profitability. Additionally, Rise owns 1.96% of Fundrise, L.P. and has the ability to direct its assets.

Rise Companies Corp. became the parent company of Fundrise, Fundrise Servicing, LLC, and Popularise, LLC, all entities under common control, as of March 27, 2014. The entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Rise.

The Company was conceived of by Benjamin Miller, and founded by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller (together, the “Founders”) in 2012.

The Company intends to file an offering statement on Form 1-A with the SEC with respect to an offering (the “Offering”) of shares of Class B Common Stock.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Rise, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and certain affiliated entities where Rise has the majority of the voting control. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the SEC.

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

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. These judgments, assumptions, and estimates include but are not limited to the following: (i) fair value determinations for Loans and Notes; (ii) stock-based compensation; (iii) provision for income taxes, net of valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and (iv) consolidation of variable interest entities. These judgments, estimates, and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature and actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material.

Deal origination fees are paid by borrowers and are determined by the term and credit grade of the loan. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, origination fees ranged from 0.00% to 2.00% of the aggregate loan amount. Origination fees are included in the annual percentage rate calculation provided to the borrower and are subtracted from the gross loan proceeds prior to disbursement of the loan funds to the borrower. Origination fee revenue is recognized over the life of the loan as non-interest operating revenue beginning at loan issuance. A loan is considered issued when upon completion of an ACH transaction, initiated by us, to transfer funds from our bank account to the borrower’s settlement agent or borrower’s bank account.

Origination fee revenue is reduced by the deferral of net origination fees less origination costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310. The net amount of origination fees less origination costs is amortized over the expected life of the loan. The net deferred amount, less amortization, is included in the carrying value of the real estate debt investments on the consolidated balance sheets.

Due diligence fees are included in origination fees in the operating revenue section of the consolidated statements of operation. These fees are paid by borrowers and are assessed commensurate with the time required to perform diligence when underwriting a loan. Due diligence fees are assessed prior to the loan origination and are recognized over the life of the loan beginning once origination of the loan has concluded. In the event Rise elects not to underwrite the underlying loan, due diligence revenue is recognized upon communication of that decision to the prospective borrower.

Servicing fees are paid by Note investors and based on the principal and interest payments serviced on the related loan. The servicing fee compensates the Company for managing payments from borrowers and to investors and maintaining investors’ account portfolios. Servicing fees are subtracted from gross interest and principal redemption distributions to Note investors. The Company records servicing fees as a component of non-interest operating revenue when earned. Servicing fees can be, and have been, modified or waived at the discretion of the management of the Company.

Software as a service fees are paid by developers for monthly back end access to the Fundrise Platform. Software as a service fees are assessed monthly (in arrears) and are recognized once the monthly service has concluded.

Asset management fees are paid by investors via wholly-owned, affiliated, or managed entities based on various agreements with those entities. Management fees are a component of non-interest operating revenue and are recorded as earned. Management fees can be, and have been, modified or waived at the discretion of the management of Rise.

Fundrise Investments Manager, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise, acts as a Class B Member and manager of Fundrise 3 World Trade Center, LLC. The manager and its affiliates may be entitled to an annual asset management fee equal to 0.15% of the then outstanding principal amount of the bonds.

Other revenue consists of reimbursable fees related to loan origination, a 0.2% trust custody fee paid to the Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise, by Note investors, and fees paid by real estate operators for use of the Fundrise Platform.

A variable interest entity, or a VIE, is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes consideration of various factors. These factors include review of the formation and design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements, and analysis of the forecasted cash flows of the entity. The Company makes an initial determination upon acquisition of a VIE, and reassesses its initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain events.

A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering various factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of the Company and the other interests. The Company reassesses its determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the future performance of investments held by VIEs and general market conditions. The maximum risk of loss related to our investments is limited to our recorded investment in such entities, if any.

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not hold any investments in entities which are considered to be VIEs.

Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted deposits with financial institutions in checking, money market and short-term certificate of deposit accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with stated maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, custodial escrow accounts relating to loans serviced by the Company totaled $1.3 million and $0.07 million, respectively. These amounts are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are not Company assets.

Restricted cash consists primarily of checking, money market, and certificate of deposit accounts that are: (i) special member distribution reserves held by the Company to disburse an amount equal to the amount of the special member preferred return due and payable to investor on such date; (ii) investors’ funds transactions-in-process that have not yet been transferred to their external bank accounts off of the Company’s platform; and (iii) pledged through a subscription agreement with an investor, but not yet settled as held Notes.

The Company, by way of its affiliates and wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in real estate lending. In general, these real estate debt investments are either real estate loans are made by Fundrise Lending and held by the Trust for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased Notes issued by the Trust and that are related to the specific underlying Loans for the benefit of the investor or real estate debt investments held by a consolidated entity. To maximize the value of the real estate debt investment, the intent is to hold all real estate debt investments until the stated maturity date noted in the contractual loan terms. Since management has the positive intent and ability to hold the real estate debt investments to maturity, they are classified and valued as held to maturity. Accordingly, these assets are carried at cost, net of deferred loan origination fee revenue, repayments, and unfunded commitments, if applicable, unless such loans are deemed to be impaired.

The Loans are generally secured unsecuritized debt securities. The Notes are unsecured debt securities not subsequently securitized. The Trust is contractually obligated to pay proceeds from a certain loan to the note holder.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded as either short term (current) or long term (non-current) on the consolidated balance sheets, based on the contractual maturity date and are stated at amortized cost. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities as some borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

Loan origination fees and related incremental direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for actual prepayments. The amortization of deferred fees and costs is discontinued on loans that are contractually 120 days past due or when collection of interest appears doubtful. Any remaining deferred fees or costs associated with loans that pay off prior to contractual maturity are included within income in the period of payoff.

The Company’s real estate debt investments and preferred equity investments, and those of its consolidated entities, that earn interest based on debt-like terms are typically secured by senior liens on real estate properties, mortgage payments, mortgage loans, or interests in entities that have interests in real estate similar to the interests just described. The Company considered investments for which it expects to receive full payment of contractual principal and interest payments as “performing.”

The allowance for loan impairment is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover inherent loan losses at the balance sheet date. The Company has implemented and adheres to an internal review system and impairment allowance methodology designed to provide for the detection of problem receivables and an adequate allowance to cover loan losses.

In determining the allowance for loan impairment, the Company evaluates the loans on an individual basis, including an analysis of the borrower’s credit worthiness, cash flows and financial status, and the condition and estimated value of the collateral. Those amounts may be adjusted based on an analysis of macro-economic and other trends that are likely to affect the borrower’s ability to repay the loan according to the loan terms. Given these evaluations, the amount of the allowance is based on the summation of general valuation allowances and allocated allowances.

General loan impairment allowances relate to loans with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and are determined by applying against such receivable balances loss factors for each major loan type that consider past loss experience and loan duration. Allocated allowances relate to loans with well-defined deficiencies or weaknesses and are generally determined by loss factors based on loss statistics or are determined by the excess of the recorded investment in the loan over the fair value of the collateral, where appropriate.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan impairment through a charge to allowance for loan impairment. Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of collateral of impaired loans are included in the allowance for loan impairment. Upon disposition of an impaired loan, loss of principal, if any, is recorded through a charge-off to the allowance for loan impairment.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, management did not deem any loans impaired. Additionally, the Company did not have any historical trend of loan losses off which to base an estimate for allowance for loan impairment.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, all investments are considered to be performing. In the event that an investment is deemed other than performing, the Company will evaluate the instrument for any required impairment.

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders’ equity unless management determines that a security is other than temporarily impaired (“OTTI”). Realized gains and losses from sales of securities available for sale are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other income (loss). Purchases and sales of securities available for sale are recorded on the settlement date of the transaction.

Management evaluates whether securities available for sale are OTTI on a quarterly basis. Debt securities with unrealized losses are considered OTTI if the Company intends to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell such security before any anticipated recovery. If management determines that a security is OTTI under these circumstances, the impairment recognized in earnings is measured as the entire difference between the amortized cost and then-current fair value.

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) to measure the fair value of securities available for sale. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s available for sale securities consisted of New York Liberty Development Corporation Series 2014 Class 1 Bonds.

Interest income on loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Accrued interest on loans, including impaired loans, that are 120 days or more past due or when collection of interest appears doubtful is generally reversed and charged against interest income. Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received and the principal balance is expected to be recovered. Such loans are restored to an accrual status only if the loan is brought contractually current and the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make future payments of principal and interest.

Property and equipment consists of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures, which are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Computer equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life, generally two to five years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Costs associated with construction projects are transferred to the leasehold improvement account upon project completion. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term excluding renewal periods or estimated useful life.

The Company evaluates potential impairments of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that could result in impairment include, but are not limited to, underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. The determination of recoverability of these assets is based on whether an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition exceeds the net book value of the asset. If the asset is not recoverable, measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was no impairment of assets.

Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit, which may include straight-line or accelerated methods of amortization. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Since useful life cannot be determined, the Company evaluates these assets for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant when the carrying value of the asset may not be recovered. If the carrying value is not determined to be recoverable, the intangible asset will be reduced to fair value.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (i) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (ii) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (iii) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of the asset. The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumption about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was no impairment of intangible assets.

Internally-developed software is capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Capitalized costs for internally-developed software primarily related to the Fundrise Platform consist of salaries and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly involved in development efforts. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities, including training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements that are considered to be probable to result in additional functionality are capitalized.

Capitalized costs of platform and other software applications are included in intangible assets. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally four years, on a straight-line basis. Management evaluates the useful life of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. The amortization of costs related to the platform applications is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Trademarks are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of two to fifteen years and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $5,542 and $2,534, at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Amortization expense charged to operations was $3,008 for 2015 and $1,953 for 2014.

Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten to twenty-five years and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The patent balance of $39,533 and $37,018 at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, represents costs incurred during the patent application process. Costs, such as legal fees, associated with patent applications are capitalized, but are not currently amortized as the useful life is not yet determinable. Upon issuance of a patent, its respective cost will be amortized over the patent’s estimated remaining useful life. Costs associated with abandoned applications will be charged to operations.

Costs to obtain and register an Internet domain are capitalized. Domain costs are not amortized as the Company considers the useful life to be indefinite as only a nominal fee is charged for renewal. As the useful life cannot be determined, the Company evaluates the fair market value of the domain names on an annual basis.

Offering costs include all expenses incurred by sponsored programs in connection with the qualification of the offering, and the marketing and distribution of shares, including, without limitation, expenses for printing, and amending offering statements or supplementing offering circulars, mailing and distributing costs, telephones, Internet and other telecommunications costs, all advertising and marketing expenses, charges of experts and fees, expenses and taxes related to the filing, registration and qualification of the sale of shares under federal and state laws, including taxes and fees and accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.

Offering costs are amortized ratably based on the proportion of gross proceeds raised to the total gross proceeds expected to be raised when the sponsored offering is complete. Total offering costs incurred for sponsored programs that were qualified by the SEC as of the date of these financial statements were $323,403 and $0 as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The deferred offering costs balance of $257,611 and $0 as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are net of $65,792 and $0 in accumulated amortization and are included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets

The Company intends to establish and sponsor a number of programs as real estate investment trusts that will be similar in structure to Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC. As Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC is the first such program, it is anticipated that the legal fees and other formation and structuring expenses incurred by its non-member manager, Fundrise Advisors, in qualifying this offering may be substantially higher than those of future similar programs. Accordingly, the Company, via Fundrise Advisors, has agreed to allocate legal fees incurred in establishing the first ten such programs (including Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC) that exceed the estimated legal fees of $312,500 per program, to other programs sponsored by the Company. As a result, each of the ten sponsored programs will be required to reimburse Fundrise Advisors for up to $312,500 in legal fees incurred in preparing such offerings. The Company believes that this allocation of legal fees to future similar programs is the most equitable way to ensure that all of the first ten programs bear the burden of establishing a working framework for similar offerings under the newly revised rules of Regulation A. If the Company is not successful in organizing an offering for each of the other nine programs, the Company will bear the legal costs that exceed the portion allocated to the real estate investment trusts.

The Company anticipates that, pursuant to the operating agreements of the eREITs^TM, the eREITs^TM will be obligated to reimburse Fundrise Advisors for organizational and offering costs that have been paid by Fundrise Advisors, the Company, or one of our affiliates. When Fundrise Advisors requires such reimbursements, payments will be made in monthly installments; however, the aggregate monthly amount reimbursed can never exceed 0.50% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from a particular offering. If the sum of the total unreimbursed amount of such organizational and offering costs for any particular offering, plus new costs incurred since the last reimbursement payment, exceed the reimbursement limit described above for the applicable monthly installment, the excess will be eligible for reimbursement in subsequent months (subject to the 0.50% limit), calculated on an accumulated basis, until Fundrise Advisors has been reimbursed in full.

As of the date of these financial statements, Fundrise Advisors has not required the eREITs^TM to reimburse any such costs, and no such reimbursement payments have been made. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include $789,213 and $0 related to formation costs included in sales and marketing as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Settling subscriptions presented on the consolidated balance sheets represent equity subscriptions in sponsored programs for which funds have been received but common shares have not yet been issued. Under the terms of the Offering Circulars for the eREITs^TM, subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within thirty days of receipt. Once a subscription agreement is accepted, settlement of the shares may occur up to fifteen days later, depending on the volume of subscriptions received; however, shares are generally issued the later of five business days from the date that an investor’s subscription is approved by our affiliate or when the funds settle. As of December 31, 2015, the total amount of settling subscriptions for Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC was $2,944,800, based on a $10 per share price.

Settling investments represent investments in the Notes for which funds have been received but Notes have not yet been issued. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total amount of settling investments was $149,573 and $680,000, respectively.

The Company offers unsecured, variable interest rate debt of the Company in the form of notes (“demand notes”). The Company may elect to suspend this offering at any time. Demand notes are offered and sold to accredited investors in a private placement under Regulation D, Rule 506 promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company may use the proceeds of the demand notes for any purpose that it deems appropriate for the continued operation and expansion of its business.

Interest rates associated with the demand notes are variable and decline over time following the original issue date of a demand note. Outstanding principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest shall be due and payable upon the demand of the investor. The due to investor balance on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 represents $2,463,125 in principal and $20,282 in accrued interest.

Stock-based compensation includes the expense related to restricted Class A Common Stock grants made to employees of the Company. All stock-based awards made to employees are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their estimated fair value on the date of grant. The fair value of the shares granted has been established by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) primarily based upon a Section 409A valuation provided by an independent third-party valuation firm or prepared by management.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of 4 years.

Share awards issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, which is estimated using the same methodology described above.

Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures, such that expense is recorded only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest. Forfeitures of awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates or if future forfeitures are expected to differ from recent actual or previously expected forfeitures. The Company’s management has used an estimated forfeiture rate of 4% to modify the fair value of stock based compensation expense as of date of grant. The assumed forfeiture rate is the annual percentage of unvested stock options that are assumed to be forfeited or cancelled due to grantees discontinuing employment with us. Because service-based share awards normally vest over a four-year period, the forfeiture assumption is used to estimate the number of shares that are expected to vest in future periods, which affects the estimate of the forfeiture-adjusted aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to the shares. The forfeiture assumption was developed considering the Company’s actual annual forfeiture rates for unvested stock awards over the past four years and analyzing the distribution of unvested stock awards held by directors, executive officers, and other employees as of December 31, 2015. Holding other assumptions constant, a higher forfeiture rate reduces the number of shares expected to vest in future periods, which lowers the estimated forfeiture-adjusted aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to any affected stock awards.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes a valuation allowance which reduces the deferred tax assets to the amount we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Since the Company’s inception in 2012, we have elected to file our tax returns on a cash basis, and all tax returns through December 31, 2014, have been filed using that accounting method. For the tax year ended December 31, 2015, the Company intends to elect to change its accounting method to the accrual basis on its tax return. This accounting method does not require consent from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and we currently estimate that it will result in a favorable adjustment that will be recognized on our 2015 tax return.

One of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC, operates in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, our subsidiary must meet certain organization and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, our subsidiary will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its shareholders. Even if our subsidiary qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. No material provisions have been made for federal income taxes on these financial statements related to this subsidiary, and no gross deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recorded related to Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step process whereby (i) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position (“more-likely-that-not recognition threshold”) and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income tax in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, loans financed directly by the Company and the related accrued interest receivable, and deposits with service providers. Cash and cash equivalents may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company mitigates credit risk by placing cash with major financial institutions. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on the above-mentioned financial instruments.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, introducing an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, modifies the impairment method for available-for-sale securities debt securities and provides for a simplified account model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, providing multiple provisions intended to simplify and improve various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method in previous periods when an investor initially obtains significant influence over an investee. The new guidance requires an investor to apply the equity method prospectively from the date the investment qualifies for the equity method. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, changing the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The FASB also clarifies the guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance should be applied prospectively from that date. Early adoption is permitted regarding the guidance on the presentation of the change in fair value of financial liabilities under the fair value option for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, amending guidance related to the presentation of deferred income taxes, effective January 1, 2017. The guidance simplified the presentation to require that all deferred income taxes be presented as non-current on a classified statement of financial position. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, simplifying the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The guidance eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, the guidance requires that an acquirer recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, providing new guidance related to accounting for customer’s cloud based computing fees, which will be effective January 1, 2016. The guidance clarifies what a customer must consider in determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. If the arrangement contains a software license, the customer would account for fees related to the software license element consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses; if the arrangement does not contain a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, improving targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The guidance changes what an investor must consider in determining whether it is required to consolidate an entity in which it holds an interest. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, providing guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued 2014-12 clarifying accounting for stock-based compensation awards that provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period, which is effective January 1, 2016. The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and is achievable after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued 2014-09 providing new guidance on revenue recognition, which is effective January 1, 2018. The guidance clarifies that revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized in a manner that depicts both the likelihood of payment and the timing of the related transfer of goods or performance of services. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is the amount of net loss available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is the amount of net loss available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include incremental shares issued for stock awards and convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

We calculate EPS using the two-class method. The two-class method allocates net income (loss), that otherwise would have been available to common stockholders, to holders of participating securities. We consider all series of our convertible preferred stock to be participating securities due to their non-cumulative dividend rights. In a period with net income, both earnings and dividends (if any) are allocated to participating securities. In a period with a net loss, only declared dividends (if any) are allocated to participating securities. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted-average common shares outstanding.

The fair value of our available-for-sale securities totaled $2.1 million and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. There are no continuous unrealized losses in excess of one (1) year.

In general, the Company’s real estate debt investments include both real estate loans made by Fundrise Lending and held by the Trust for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased Notes issued by the Trust and that are related to the specific underlying real estate Loans for the benefit of the investor and real estate debt investments held by a consolidated entity.

The following table presents the Company’s investments in real estate related assets and those of its consolidated, affiliated subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, none of the Company’s real estate debt investments were considered impaired, and no impairment charges have been recorded in these financial statements. We have invested in 42 real estate debt investments via the Company’s Notes program, and six real estate debt investments via affiliated and consolidated entities as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The following table describes our real estate debt investment activity for the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Generally, the Trust acquires loans from Fundrise Lending and holds them for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased Notes issued by the Trust and that are related to specific underlying Loans for the benefit of the investor.

The scheduled maturities, as of December 31, 2015, for the aggregate principal balance of the Loans and Notes are shown below:

A holder of the Notes (“Noteholder”) may request a redemption of Notes if: (i) the Noteholder holds Notes of at least 10 separate Note series; (ii) the redemption request applies to at least 10 separate Note series; (iii) each of the 10 separate Note series have been held for at least 3 months; and (iv) each of the 10 separate Note series continue to be performing. The redemption price of each Note will be 98.5% of the outstanding principal amount of such Note on the redemption date. The redemption request cannot exceed 2.5% of the total principal of all performing Note series prior to the redemption request.

The real estate debt investments of our subsidiaries are also considered to be classified as held-to-maturity; however, since the affiliated entity was not the recipient of the origination fee revenue or responsible for the origination costs of the related investments, upon consolidation, these investments are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees, discounts, repayments and unfunded commitments, if applicable, unless such loans or investments are deemed to be impaired.

The Company has certain investments that are legally structured as equity investments with rights to receive preferred economic returns. The Company reports these investments as real estate debt investments as the borrowers or common equity holders of the borrowers have a contractual obligation to redeem our preferred equity interest at a specified date.

The Company is required to disclose an estimate of fair value of our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which such financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. For certain of our financial instruments, fair values are not readily available since there are no active trading markets as characterized by current exchanges by willing parties.

We determine the fair value of certain instruments in accordance with the fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy includes the following three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs, which were used for categorizing the assets or liabilities for which fair value is being measured and reported:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Valuation generated from model-based techniques that use inputs that are significant and unobservable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, real estate debt investments, available for sale securities, notes payable, accrued interest payable, accounts payable, and payables to investors that it owns. The carrying values of all financial instruments, except available for sale securities, are reasonable estimates of their fair value.

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets to measure the fair value of securities available for sale. The fair value of our available-for-sale securities totaled $2.1 million and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Depreciation expense on property and equipment was $12,499 and $9,757 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company did not record an impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Amortization expense related to internally developed software for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $187,616 and $81,566, respectively. The expected future amortization expense for intangible assets as of December 31, 2015 is as follows:

As mentioned in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, some of our intangible assets are not amortized either due to the nature of the asset or due to legal rights not yet issued. The carrying value of these assets not subject to amortization as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows:

Under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, we may grant unrestricted and restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, executives, directors, and consultants. An aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under the 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan as of December 31, 2015. The restricted stock granted through December 31, 2015 generally follow a vesting schedule whereby 25% of the award vests twelve months from the vesting commencement date, and 6.25% vest quarterly thereafter, provided the grantee remains continuously employed by the Company through each vesting date; however, the Board retains the authority to grant shares or options with different terms.

The Company has not paid cash dividends and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore used an expected dividend yield of 0.0% for price adjustments.

A summary of shares granted, unvested shares, and share forfeitures at December 31, 2015, is as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, 245,147 shares of Class A Common Stock with a total fair value of $46,578 and 620,937 shares of Class A Common Stock with a total fair value of $68,614, respectively, were vested. There is no exercise price associated with these shares.

The Company recognized $26,668 and $80,998 of stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards during 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, total unrecognized compensation cost was $77,948 and these costs are expected to be recognized over the next 4 years.

No net income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense.

The Company maintains an employer-sponsored simple IRA plan that covers all of our employees. Participants may elect to contribute any portion of their annual compensation up to the maximum limit imposed by federal tax law. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 100% of an eligible employee’s elective deferral up to 3% of that employee’s compensation. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company made matching contributions of $51,259 and $15,662, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not record a provision for income taxes related to pre-tax net loss due to the Company’s net deferred tax assets that were subject to, and offset by, a full valuation allowance. For the period from January 1, 2014, through April 13, 2014, the Company did not record an income tax provision due to its tax status as an S corporation and the fact that any taxable or deductible temporary differences passed through to its owners. For the period from April 14, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the Company did not record a benefit for income taxes on its pre-tax net loss due to the Company’s net deferred tax assets that were subject to, and offset by, a full valuation allowance.

The Company’s effective tax rate for both 2015 and 2014 was 0% as a result of our valuation allowance in both years, which fully offsets net deferred tax assets. The following table presents a reconciliation of the statutory federal tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The following table presents the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities (in thousands):

In April 2014 the Company’s election to be taxed as an S corporation terminated and it became taxable as a C corporation. From April 2014 forward, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities for deductible and taxable future temporary differences. For the 2014 tax return period for which the Company was taxable as a C corporation, the Company filed its tax return on a cash method of accounting. We intend to elect to change accounting methods from cash to accrual on the 2015 tax return. The cumulative temporary differences as of December 31, 2014 related to accrual-to-cash adjustments will be recognized in a section 481(a) adjustment as a result of the Company’s intended accounting method change on the 2015 tax return.

Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2015, a full valuation allowance of $3.0 million has been recorded to recognize only deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $7.7 million, to offset future taxable income. The Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin expiring in 2034.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company did not record any cumulative unrecognized tax benefits on its consolidated balance sheets.

The Company identifies the U.S., District of Columbia, and Delaware as its major tax jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s tax returns for 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

In March 2014, the Company declared a 1:1,000,000 stock split of the original common shares, then issued and outstanding. All information related to common stock has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.

In April 2014 the Company issued, via private placement 7.9 million shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A”) at $2.1872 per share for aggregate gross cash consideration of $17.2 million. The shares are convertible into shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, initially on a one-for-one basis, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Rise amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In connection with our private placement of Series A, the Company incurred transaction expenses of $0.4 million that were recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital.

Pursuant to terms negotiated with certain holders of convertible promissory notes, the Series A financing triggered these notes to convert into shares of Series A. The total amount of principal associated with the convertible promissory notes at the time they converted was $3.0 million with accrued interest outstanding of $0.4 million. The convertible promissory noteholders included the Founders of the Company or entities controlled by the Founders of the Company, as well as other parties related to the Founders of the Company (see Note 16 – Related Party Transactions). The convertible promissory notes held by the Founders or by entities controlled by the Founders received a conversion price of $2.1872 for aggregate principal and interest outstanding per share of Series A. The convertible promissory noteholders other than the Founders of the Company received a conversion price of $1.20 for aggregate principal and interest outstanding per share of Series A.

The aggregate principal and interest outstanding with respect to the Founders’ convertible promissory notes or convertible promissory notes held by entities controlled by the Founders which received a conversion price of $2.1872 was $1.9 million, and the aggregate principal and interest outstanding with respect to other convertible promissory notes outstanding which received a conversion price of $1.20 was $1.5 million. A beneficial conversion feature of $0.3 million was recognized for those holders of the convertible notes of the Company that were issued convertible notes subsequent to March 12, 2014 with a fair market value in excess of their conversion price.

In connection with the sale of Series A in April 2014, we filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the State of Delaware, which limited the total number of shares of capital stock that we are authorized to issue to 55,000,000 shares, 40,000,000 shares of which are designated as common stock, and 15,000,000 shares of which are designated as preferred stock.

From April 14, 2014 through October 10, 2014, we sold an additional $4.2 million of Series A. In aggregate, as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had sold 11,865,046 shares of Series A at a cash purchase price of $2.1872 per share or pursuant to the automatic conversion of certain convertible promissory notes, for an aggregate net purchase price of approximately $24.7 million (including the purchase price paid for the convertible promissory notes).

The outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock are not mandatorily or otherwise redeemable. The sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets, a consolidation or merger with another company, or a transfer of voting control in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power are all events which are deemed to be a liquidation and would trigger the payment of liquidation preferences under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. All such events require approval of the Board; however, in such events, all holders of equal or more subordinate equity instruments would also be entitled to receive the same form of consideration after any liquidation preferences. Therefore, based on the guidance of ASC 480-10-S99 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the non-redeemable convertible preferred stock has been classified within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The significant terms of outstanding Series A are as follows:

Conversion – Each share of Series A is convertible, at the option of the holder, initially, into one share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustments for events of dilution). Each share of convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted upon: (i) the election of a majority of the outstanding shares of such series of preferred stock; or (ii) the consummation of an underwritten registered public offering with aggregate proceeds in excess of $35,000,000 (a “Qualified Public Offering”). The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains certain anti-dilution provisions, whereby if the Company issues additional shares of capital stock for an effective price lower than the conversion price for a series of preferred stock immediately prior to such issue, then the existing conversion price of such series of preferred stock will be reduced. The Company determined that while its convertible preferred stock contains certain anti-dilution features, the conversion feature embedded within its convertible preferred stock does not require bifurcation under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Liquidation preference – Upon any liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any common stock, the holders of convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share of Series A equal to $2.1872 (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar events) plus all declared and unpaid dividends (the “Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference”). However, if upon any such Liquidation Event, our assets are insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of convertible preferred stock of their respective liquidation preferences, then the entire balance of the Company’s assets legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority between the preferred holders based upon the amount of each such holders’ Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference. Any excess assets, after payment in full of the liquidation preferences to the convertible preferred stockholders, are then allocated to the holders of the common stock, pro-rata.

Dividends – If and when declared by the Board, the holders of Series A and common stock, on a pari passu basis, will be entitled to receive dividends. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we have not declared any dividends on preferred stock.

Voting rights – Generally, preferred stockholders have one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. Voting as a separate class, the Series A stockholders are entitled to elect one member of the Board. The holders of common stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two members of the Board. The remaining member of the Board is elected by the preferred stockholders (voting on an as-converted basis) and the holders of common stock, voting together as a single class. The Company has adopted a multiple-class common stock structure, pursuant to which each share of Class A Common Stock will have one vote per share and each share of Class F Common Stock will have ten votes per share. See Note 19 – Subsequent Events.

In 2012, each of the Founders received one-half of one share of common stock in the Company with a par value of $100 for services rendered.

On March 27, 2014, the Board authorized and executed a 1:1,000,000 forward stock split for all shares of the capital stock of the Company that were issued and outstanding which, at the time, consisted of the single share of common stock of the Company. Immediately following this transaction, the Board consented to a conversion of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock to 1,000,000 shares of Class F Common Stock. In addition, the holders of Class F Common Stock contributed three legal entities (Fundrise, Fundrise Servicing, LLC, and Popularise, LLC) in exchange for 9,000,000 additional shares of Class F Common Stock. As the entities contributed were under common control, assets and liabilities of the entities were transferred to the Company at net book value.

The Company has also granted restricted shares of Class A Common Stock under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan to our executive officers, directors and certain employees.

On April 14, 2014, we entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “IRA”) with certain holders of our common stock and preferred stock, certain of our executive officers and directors and entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated. Pursuant to the IRA, the holders of certain shares of our common stock and preferred stock are entitled to certain registration rights, information rights and preemptive rights.

On April 14, 2014, we entered into a First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (“Co-Sale Agreement”) with certain holders of our common stock and preferred stock, certain of our executive officers and directors, and entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated. Pursuant to the Co-Sale Agreement, the holders of our preferred stock have rights of first refusal and co-sale with respect to certain transfers made by certain holders of our common stock.

On April 14, 2014, we entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with certain holders of our common stock and preferred stock, our executive officers and directors, and entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the holders of certain shares of our common stock and preferred stock have agreed to vote their shares on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors.

We have incurred operating losses since our inception through December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2014 we had net losses of $4.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2015 we had net losses of $3.7 million. We have an accumulated deficit of $10.5 million and stockholders’ equity of $37.0 million, including $22.6 million of interest in non-controlling entities, at December 31, 2015.

The Company formed Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC in 2015 to primarily focus on real estate loans and preferred equity participation in real estate for the purpose of earning income. In December 2015, the initial offering for Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC began via the Fundrise Platform and raised over $10 million at $10 per share by December 31, 2015. The Company is entitled to receive reimbursements for costs associated with the formation and operating expenses of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC. As of December 31, 2015, the receivable outstanding from Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC was $343,461, which has been eliminated upon consolidation.

As a means to provide liquidity during capital raising periods, the Company issued a promissory grid note to Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC in the amount of $5,000,000. The loan bears a 2% interest rate and was initially set to expire on March 31, 2016 (see Note 19 – Subsequent Events). As of December 31, 2015, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC has not drawn against the promissory grid note and has not paid any interest to the Company.

The Company is a member of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and holds 100 shares as of December 31, 2015.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the executive officers of the Company and their positions and offices are as follows:

Benjamin S. Miller currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and has served as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company since its inception in March 2012; additionally, he has served as Interim Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer since October 2015.

Brandon T. Jenkins currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and has served in the same role for the Company since February 2014, prior to which time he served as Head of Product Development and Director of Real Estate.

Kenneth Shin currently serves as Chief Technology Officer of the Company and has served in the same role for the Company since its inception in March 2012.

Bjorn J. Hall currently serves as the General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Corporate Secretary of the Company and has served in such capacities for the Company since February 2014.

Several of the Company’s executive officers and directors (including immediate family members) have opened investor accounts on the Fundrise Platform and have purchased notes and shares of sponsored programs and received related redemptions. All Notes and sponsored-program equity share subscriptions and redemptions were made in the ordinary course of business and were transacted on terms and conditions that were not more favorable than those obtained by third-party investors.

On June 25, 2014, the Company amended the limited partnership agreement of Fundrise, L.P. to admit Tal Kerret, a member of the Board, as a means of director compensation. As a result of this amendment, Tal Kerret obtained the profits interest related to the portion of capital that the Company had contributed to Fundrise, L.P. upon its initial subscription. The Company retains the right to its initial capital contribution, but will cease to earn profits thereon.

Benjamin Miller, Daniel Miller, Herbert Miller (Messrs. Millers’ father), and Joseph Chen, a member of the Board, have each invested in Notes issued by our sponsored Programs. In aggregate, the total investment of these related parties is approximately $4.6 million. In all cases, these Notes were purchased under the same terms as any other investor on the Fundrise Platform and the parties received no special benefits not shared on a pro-rata basis by all holders of the Notes.

Additional related party investments in the convertible notes included Herbert Miller, Patrice Miller (Messrs. Millers’ stepmother and mother, respectively), David Miller (Messrs. Millers’ brother), and Caroline Miller (Messrs. Millers’ sister), which investment amounts totaled $157,193, $131,219, $80,260, $80,260, respectively. These related party investments were made under the same terms as other investors in the convertible notes.

The following table summarizes the Series A stock purchased by our executive officers, directors, holders of more than 10% of a given class of our outstanding capital stock or any immediate family member.

The Company reports segment information using the “management approach.” Under this approach, operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by us for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Based on this approach, we have one reportable segment. The Company’s management reporting process is based on our internal operating structure, which is subject to change and is not necessarily similar to that of other comparable companies.

We have committed $5.1 million in construction draws for certain debt investments to be drawn down within the next 12 months. The draws are expected to be made until the funds are fully drawn down.

On December 29, 2014 we renewed our lease for our Washington, DC Corporate Headquarters for a twelve-month term expiring on February 29, 2016. On June 1, 2015 we entered into an additional lease for a suite in the same building for a nine-month term expiring on February 29, 2016. Subsequent to year-end, additional extensions have been entered into such that the lease term expires on September 30, 2016.

The Company also maintains three satellite offices. The Seattle, WA, Los Angeles, CA and San Francisco, CA satellite offices are contracted on a month-to-month basis. The Company entered into a lease for our New York City satellite office on March 15, 2015 for a six-month term that expired on September 30, 2015.

Total facilities rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $135,089 and $87,542, respectively. As part of these lease agreements, we currently have pledged $12,210 of cash as security deposits. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has not entered into any lease agreements with a term longer than 12 months.

Pursuant to a Distribution Support Agreement, Fundrise, L.P., an affiliate of the Company and a member of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC, has agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 in additional common shares of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC to support the sponsored program’s quarterly distribution payments to shareholders. If adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) in any calendar quarter during the distribution support period is less than the amount that would produce a 15% annualized return, then Fundrise, L.P. will purchase shares following the end of such quarter at the net asset value per share then in effect for an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount by which AFFO for such quarter is less than the 15% annualized amount. This arrangement provides liquidity to the sponsored affiliate for distributions, but does not in any way require that the sponsored affiliate distribute an amount that would represent a 15% annualized return. The distribution support commitment will only be provided until the earlier of (i) the purchase by Fundrise, L.P. of an aggregate of $1,000,000 in common shares or (ii) December 31, 2017.

The Company is subject to Subscription Agreements with Note investors. The Subscription Agreements require the Company to pledge and restrict cash in support of its contingent obligation to fund a debt investment underlying the investor’s Note. The restricted cash contributed is premised upon the investor’s subsequent purchase of a Note tied to the performance of the underlying Loan. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was pledged and restricted to support this contingent obligation.

As of the date of the consolidated financial statements, we are not currently named as a defendant in any active or pending litigation. However, it is possible that the company could become involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although we are unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, management is not aware of any litigation likely to occur that we currently assess as being significant to us.

Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure in these consolidated financial statements through August 5, 2016, which was the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

The financial information presented should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual audited financial statements to obtain full disclosure information.

Rise Companies Corporation (“Rise”, “Rise Companies Corp.”, “we”, “our”, the “Company”, and “us”) is the parent company of Fundrise, LLC (“Fundrise”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. Fundrise, LLC owns and operates an online investment platform, www.fundrise.com, (the “Fundrise Platform”) that allows investors to become equity or debt holders in alternative investment opportunities. Fundrise Lending, LLC (“Fundrise Lending”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise and a licensed finance lender in the State of California that facilitates real estate loans (“Loans”). National Commercial Real Estate Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise and that has historically acquired loans from Fundrise Lending, LLC and held them for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased project-dependent notes (“Notes”) issued by the Trust and that are related to specific underlying loans for the benefit of the investor. Fundrise Investments Manager, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise, acts as a Class B Member and manager of Fundrise 3 World Trade Center, LLC. Fundrise Advisors, LLC (“Fundrise Advisors”) is a registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise that acts as the non-member manager for the real estate investment trusts sponsored by the Company and offered for investment via the Fundrise Platform. As of June 30, 2016, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC were the first two of these real estate investment trust sponsored programs qualified by the SEC, herein referred to as “eREITs”. Fundrise, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Fundrise LP”), is an affiliate of Rise and was created with the intent to directly benefit Rise by driving its growth and profitability. Additionally, Rise owns a capital interest of 1.96% of Fundrise LP and has the ability to direct its assets.

Rise Companies Corp became the parent company of Fundrise, Fundrise Servicing, LLC, and Popularise, LLC, all entities under common control, as of March 27, 2014. The entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Rise.

The Company was conceived of by Benjamin Miller, and founded by Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller (together, the “Founders”) in 2012.

The Company intends to file an offering statement on Form 1-A with the SEC with respect to an offering (the “Offering”) of common shares.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, and reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the audited annual financial statements that are included in the Company’s Form 1-A filing, which was filed with the SEC on August 29, 2016, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 1-A filing.

These consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting pursuant to Form 1-A and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

Deal origination fees are paid by borrowers and are determined by the term and credit grade of the loan. As of June 30, 2016, origination fees ranged from 0.00% to 2.00% of the aggregate loan amount. Origination fees are included in the annual percentage rate calculation provided to the borrower and are typically subtracted from the gross loan proceeds prior to disbursement of the loan funds to the borrower. Origination fee revenue is recognized over the life of the loan as non-interest operating revenue beginning at loan issuance for loans held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. A loan is considered issued upon the funding of the loan, or the closing date specified in the loan agreement.

In the instances of real estate loans held by one of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Rise Companies Corp typically for the purpose of offering investment in the assets via the Project-Dependent Notes Program, origination fee revenue is reduced by the deferral of net origination fees less origination costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310. The net amount of origination fees less origination costs is amortized over the expected life of the loan. The net deferred amount, less amortization, is included in the carrying value of the real estate debt investments on the consolidated balance sheets.

In the instances of real estate loans or assets acquired directly by or transferred to the eREITs, the performance obligation by the Company is to underwrite and originate the loan. The performance obligation of the Company to originate and underwrite loans acquired by its affiliates in the Company sponsored Programs allows the Company to recognize the such fees as fee income, not as an adjustment to yield. The future benefits and obligations of the real estate loans or assets acquired by the eREITs are to be recognized over the life of the loan or investment by the affiliates, or eREITS. The portion of the future benefits or obligations from these loans or assets is recognized in comprehensive income by the Company based on its ownership share of the affiliate.

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest or otherwise, including those entities in which the general partner or manager has a controlling financial interest.

The Company has a controlling interest in Fundrise LP because Fundrise GP I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as the general partner of the partnership and has the sole ability and power to direct activities of the partnership and receives the majority of the benefits from the partnership.

Fundrise Advisors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the non-member manager of both Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC. Fundrise Advisors has controlling interests in the eREITs because a simple majority of equity holders do not possess substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights.

Accordingly, the Company consolidates Fundrise LP, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC and records non-controlling interests to reflect the economic interests of the limited partners of Fundrise, LP and the non-controlling equity interests in Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, custodial escrow accounts relating to loans serviced by the Company totaled $4.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are not Company assets.

Restricted cash consists primarily of checking, money market, and certificate of deposit accounts that are: (i) special member distribution reserves held by the Company to disburse an amount equal to the amount of the special member preferred return due and payable to the Company on future payment dates; (ii) investors’ funds for which external funds transfer is in process but not yet complete; (iii) pledged through a subscription agreement by an investor, but not yet settled by the Company and issued as Notes; and (iv) pledged through PDN subscription agreements.

The Company, by way of its affiliates and wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in real estate lending. In general, these real estate debt investments are either real estate loans made by Fundrise Lending and held by the Trust related to corresponding project-dependent notes (“Notes”) or real estate debt investments held by a consolidated entity. To maximize the value of the real estate debt investment, the Company intends to hold all real estate debt investments until the stated maturity date. Since management has the positive intent and ability to hold the real estate debt investments to maturity, they are classified and valued as held to maturity. Accordingly, these assets are carried at cost, net of deferred loan origination fee revenue, repayments, and unfunded commitments, if applicable, unless such loans are deemed to be impaired.

For loans held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, typically the Trust or Fundrise Lending, where it is the intent of management to hold the loan until the stated maturity date, loan origination fees and related incremental direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for actual prepayments. The amortization of deferred fees and costs is discontinued on loans that are contractually 120 days past due or when collection of interest appears doubtful. Any remaining deferred fees or costs associated with loans that pay off prior to contractual maturity are included within income in the period of payoff.

The Company’s real estate debt investments and those of its consolidated entities are subject to continual analysis for potential loan impairment.

The allowance for loan impairment is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover inherent loan losses at a given balance sheet date. The Company has implemented and adhered to an internal review system and impairment allowance methodology designed to provide for detection of potentially impaired receivables and an adequate allowance to cover loan losses.

In determining the allowance for loan impairment, the Company evaluates the loans on an individual basis, including an analysis of the borrower’s credit worthiness, cash flows and financial status, and the condition and estimated value of the collateral. These amounts may be adjusted based on an analysis of macroeconomic and other trends that are likely to affect the borrower’s ability to repay the loan according to loan terms. The Company performs this analysis quarterly using the reporting it receives from borrowers on a quarterly basis and through direct communication with borrowers about the assets they manage.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it believes it probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan impairment through a charge to allowance for loan impairment. Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of collateral of impaired loans are included in the allowance for loan impairment. Upon disposition of an impaired loan, loss of principal, if any, is recorded through a charge-off to the allowance for loan impairment.

When the Company determines that no loans are individually impaired pursuant to ASC Topic 310, it evaluates its loan pools for potential impairment using the general loss contingency guidance in ASC Topic 450.

As of June 30, 2016, management did not deem any loans impaired and did not recognize any impairment loss in the financial statements. Additionally, the Company did not have any historical trend of loan losses off which to base an estimate for allowance for loan impairment.

Total offering and organizational costs incurred by sponsored programs qualified by the SEC as of the date of these financial statements were approximately $1.7 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The eREIT deferred offering and organizational costs balances of $0.6 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are net of $1.2 million and $0.1 million in accumulated amortization and are included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company anticipates that, pursuant to the operating agreements of the eREITs, the eREITs will be obligated to reimburse Fundrise Advisors for organizational and offering costs that have been paid by Fundrise Advisors, the Company, or one of our affiliates.

As of June 30, 2016, Fundrise Advisors has required Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC to reimburse $0.2 million. The reimbursement payment occurred in July 2016. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include $0.6 million related to formation costs included in sales and marketing as of June 30, 2016.

The Company, by way of its consolidated affiliates, the eREITs, accounts for all investments in which it has determined to have, or is otherwise presumed to have, significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, but for which consolidation is not appropriate, using the equity method of accounting.

The carrying value of equity method investments is determined based on amounts invested by the eREITs, adjusted for the equity in earnings or losses of the investee allocated based on the respective partnership agreements, less distributions received. The eREITs evaluate investments in equity method investees for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the eREITs had made approximately $17.9 million new investments in equity method investees and recognized $0.1 million of related equity in earnings. No impairment losses were recorded related to equity method investees for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) to measure the fair value of securities available for sale. On May 20, 2016, the Company sold its remaining available for sale securities which consisted of New York Liberty Development Corporation Series 2014 Class 1 Bonds.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, there was no impairment of intangible assets.

Capitalized costs for internally-developed software are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally four years, on a straight-line basis. Management evaluates the useful life of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. The amortization of costs related to the platform applications is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Trademarks are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of two to fifteen years and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization of $8,359 and $5,542, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Amortization expense charged to operations was $2,817 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $1,305 for six months ended June 30, 2015.

Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten to twenty-five years and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The patent balance of $48,645 and $39,533 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, represents costs incurred during the patent application process.

Some costs, such as legal fees, are capitalized as intangible assets, but are not currently amortized as the useful life is not yet determinable.

Settling subscriptions presented on the consolidated balance sheets represent equity subscriptions in sponsored programs for which funds have been received but common shares have not yet been issued. As of June 30, 2016, the total amount of settling subscriptions for the eREITs was $4.5 million, based on a $10 per share price.

The Company offers unsecured, variable interest rate debt of the Company in the form of notes (“demand notes”). As of June 30, 2016, demand note outstanding principal and accrued interest combined comprised approximately $2.0 million of the Due to Investor balance on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s consolidated eREIT affiliates have adopted a redemption plan whereby on a quarterly basis, shareholders of the eREIT may request redemption of their shares. Fundrise Advisors, acting as the manager of the eREITs, has the authority, in its sole discretion, to limit redemptions. Fundrise Advisors, may amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time in its sole discretion, without notice, including if it believes that such action is in the best interest of the shareholders of the eREIT as a whole.

Affiliates of Fundrise Advisors, including the Company and Fundrise LP, are prohibited from requesting redemption of their interests under the redemption plan.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company sponsored program redemption amount payable totaled approximately $0.4 million.

Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC declared daily distributions for each day during the six months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, $2.4 million in shareholder distributions had been declared, of which $0.2 million had been paid. Of the amount declared, $13,893 was payable to related parties of the Company.

Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC declared daily distributions during the period from April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, a total of $0.9 million in shareholder distributions had been declared, of which $0 had been paid. Of the amount declared, $3,989 was payable to related parties.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income tax in the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2016, no unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded.

Fundrise Management, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the sole member and manager of Fundrise GP I, LLC, the general partner of Fundrise, LP. As of June 30, 2016, the Company owns a capital interest of 1.96% of Fundrise LP based on a $0.2 million capitalization into the partnership and has the ability to direct its assets.

As general partner of Fundrise LP, Fundrise GP I, LLC has the sole ability and power to direct activities of the partnership and therefore stands to receive some benefits or losses due to our percentage ownership and intent to benefit the Company’s growth with the funds from the partnership. The Company assigned its profits interest to a third party; as a result, none of the net income from Fundrise LP is attributable to the Company. The Company stands to absorb any losses of Fundrise LP based on its capital ownership percentage. The Company’s investment in Fundrise LP, net of any partners’ distributions, is eliminated upon consolidation. The remaining partnership equity, plus any retained earnings or accumulated deficit, is consolidated to non-controlling interests.

As general partner of Fundrise LP, Fundrise GP I, LLC may, at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion, redeem the partnership interest of any partner or assignee for cash equal to the fair market value of such interest.

As of June 30, 2016, the total partners’ capital balance of Fundrise LP is approximately $10.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Fundrise LP had net income of $0.1 million.

Fundrise Advisors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as the non-member manager for the eREITs sponsored by the Company and offered for investment via the Fundrise Platform. The Company directly owns $1,000, or 100 shares, in each of the eREITs qualified as of June 30, 2016. The Company’s common equity ownership in each eREIT is less than 1% of the total members’ equity of each sponsored program. Additionally, Fundrise LP owns more than $0.7 million in both qualified eREITs, combined. Fundrise LP’s common equity ownership in each eREIT is less than 1% of the total members’ equity of each sponsored program.

Due to the decision-making power, contractual arrangements and benefits that Fundrise Advisors and its affiliates have secured in the first two eREITs, it has been determined that Fundrise Advisors, LLC will consolidate Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC. The investments by the Company and Fundrise LP in both qualified eREITs, net of any distributions or amortized offering costs, are eliminated upon consolidation. The remaining partnership equity, plus any retained earnings or accumulated deficit, is consolidated to non-controlling interests.

Affiliates of Fundrise Advisors, including the Company and Fundrise LP, are prohibited from requesting redemption of their interests under the eREIT redemption plan. The equity ownership by the Company and Fundrise LP in the eREITs is not redeemable. The remaining common shareholders of both eREITs may request redemptions under each eREIT's quarterly redemption plan, which provides shareholders the ability to redeem their shares on a quarterly basis, subject to redemption price discounts based on the length of time such shares have been held. Fundrise Advisors may approve or reject redemption requests at its discretion.

As of June 30, 2016, the total members’ equity balance of related and unrelated parties, less any amortized offering costs, distributions and redemptions, is $38.6 million and $20.0 million for Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC had net income of $1.5 million and $34,726, respectively. The Company recognized $36 and $2 of net income based on its ownership percentage in Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC and Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC, respectively.

Fundrise Investments Manager, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as a Class B Member and manager of Fundrise 3 World Trade Center, LLC.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Fundrise Investments Manager, LLC sold its remaining interests in the New York Liberty Development Corporation Series 2014 Class 1 Bonds and dissolved Fundrise 3 World Trade Center, LLC and its non-controlling Class B Member interests. The Company’s non-controlling interest from Class B Membership was eliminated upon the sale and return of membership interests.

Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have difference effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these consolidated interim financial statements may not be comparable to companies that adopt accounting standard updates upon the public business entity effective dates.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, introducing an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, modifies the impairment method for available-for-sale securities debt securities and provides for a simplified account model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, providing multiple provisions intended to simplify and improve various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, changing the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The FASB also clarifies the guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be applied prospectively from that date. Early adoption is permitted regarding the guidance on the presentation of the change in fair value of financial liabilities under the fair value option for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, amending guidance related to the presentation of deferred income taxes, effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance simplified the presentation to require that all deferred income taxes be presented as non-current on a classified statement of financial position. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, simplifying the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The guidance eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, the guidance requires that an acquirer recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, providing new guidance related to accounting for customer’s cloud based computing fees, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance clarifies what a customer must consider in determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. If the arrangement contains a software license, the customer would account for fees related to the software license element consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses; if the arrangement does not contain a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, improving targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The guidance changes what an investor must consider in determining whether it is required to consolidate an entity in which it holds an interest. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued 2014-09 providing new guidance on revenue recognition, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance clarifies that revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized in a manner that depicts both the likelihood of payment and the timing of the related transfer of goods or performance of services. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is the amount of net loss available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is the amount of net loss available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issued for stock awards and convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

The Company sold the available-for-sale securities on May 20, 2016 at a gain of $0.2 million. The Company distributed $0.1 million of the gain from the sale of the securities to Class B Members, and the remaining $0.1 million of the gain was retained by the Company acting as the Class A Member.

The fair value of our available-for-sale securities totaled $0.0 million and $2.1 million as June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There are no continuous unrealized losses in excess of one year.

In general, the Company’s real estate debt investments include both real estate loans made by Fundrise Lending and held by the Trust for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased project-dependent notes payable (“Notes”) issued by the Trust and that are related to the specific underlying real estate debt investment (“Loans”) for the benefit of the investor and real estate debt investments held by a consolidated entity. The Company also invests in certain unconsolidated joint venture equity investments with rights to receive preferred economic returns (referred to in these notes as “Unconsolidated JV Investments”) where the investee is contractually obligated to redeem our interest at a specified date. We account for these Unconsolidated JV Investments as debt for financial reporting purposes, and report the preferred returns we receive therefrom as interest income.

The following table presents the Company’s investments in real estate related assets and those of its consolidated, affiliated subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, none of the Company’s real estate debt investments were considered impaired, and no impairment charges have been recorded in these financial statements. We have invested in 42 real estate debt investments via the Company’s project dependent note program, and 16 real estate debt investments via affiliated and consolidated entities as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The following table describes our real estate debt investment activity as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Generally, the Trust acquires loans from Fundrise Lending and holds them for the sole benefit of certain investors that have purchased project-dependent notes issued by the Trust and that are related to specific underlying loans for the benefit of the investor. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Trust has not acquired any new loans from Fundrise Lending and the project-dependent notes program has not originated any new offerings.

The Unconsolidated JV Investments of our subsidiaries are also considered to be classified as held-to-maturity; however, since the affiliated entity was not the recipient of the origination fee revenue or responsible for the origination costs of the related investments, upon consolidation, these investments are carried at cost, net of discounts, repayments and unfunded commitments, if applicable, unless such loans or investments are deemed to be impaired.

The table below presents the activity of the eREIT investments in non-consolidating equity method investees as of, and for, the periods presented:

Distribution Support Commitment – Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC

Pursuant to a Distribution Support Agreement, Fundrise LP, an affiliate of the Company and a member of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC, has agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $1.0 million in additional common shares of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC to support the sponsored program’s quarterly distribution payments to shareholders. If adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) in any calendar quarter during the distribution support period is less than the amount that would produce a 15% annualized return, then Fundrise LP will purchase shares following the end of such quarter at the net asset value per share then in effect for an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount by which AFFO for such quarter is less than the 15% annualized amount. This arrangement provides liquidity to the sponsored affiliate for distributions, but does not in any way require that the sponsored affiliate distribute an amount that would represent a 15% annualized return. The distribution support commitment will only be provided until the earlier of (i) the purchase by Fundrise LP of an aggregate of $1.0 million in common shares or (ii) December 31, 2017.

On April 11, 2016, Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC announced the results of its operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016. As a result of the eREIT’s AFFO for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, Fundrise LP was obligated to purchase 32,977 shares of Fundrise Real Estate Investment Trust, LLC for $0.3 million. The purchase of such common shares was executed April 18, 2016 and effectively reduced Fundrise LP’s total commitment under the Distribution Support Agreement.

To mitigate the effect of Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC’s lack of assets, revenue, and operating history, Fundrise Advisors has agreed to make a payment to the eREIT of up to $0.5 million if the distributions paid upon liquidation (together with any distributions made prior to liquidation) are less than a 20% average annual non-compounded return. More specifically, Fundrise Advisors, LLC will make the following payments to Fundrise Equity REIT, LLC upon liquidation if its liquidating distribution is less than an average annual non-compounded return of at least 20%:

On September 2, 2016, the Company entered into a four-year lease, expiring November 30, 2020, for new office space in Washington, DC. The Company entered into the new office space lease in order to meet the demand of employee headcount growth. The Corporate Headquarters will be relocated to the new space.

Due to the regulatory uncertainty surrounding the ability of an online platform to sponsor both public offerings under Regulation A and private offerings under Rule 506(b), in September 2016, the Company voluntarily suspended its Rule 506(b) program indefinitely. The programs impacted by the voluntary suspension of private offerings under Rule 506(b) are the Project Dependent Note and Demand Note programs. Given that revenue derived from the Rule 506(b) programs was mostly in the form of deferred origination fees, we do not anticipate that the suspension of these types of offerings will have a material effect on the Company’s revenue, as the Company anticipates that its origination, or acquisition, volume will not be materially and adversely affected by the suspension of these programs.

3.19 The Subscriber confirms that the Subscriber has been advised to consult with the Subscriber’s independent attorney regarding legal matters concerning Fundrise and to consult with independent tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of investing through Fundrise. The Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber understands that any anticipated United States federal or state income tax benefits may not be available and, further, may be adversely affected through adoption of new laws or regulations or amendments to existing laws or regulations. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Fundrise is providing no warranty or assurance regarding the ultimate availability of any tax benefits to the Subscriber by reason of the Purchase.

5.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to the following transactions:

(a) in the case of a Stockholder who is an individual, the transfer without consideration of any Shares made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during a Stockholder’s lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to (i) his or her spouse or Spousal Equivalent, child (natural or adopted), sibling, or any other direct lineal antecedent or descendant of such Stockholder (or his or her spouse or Spousal Equivalent) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other relative approved by the Corporation upon resolutions duly approved by the Board of Directors or (ii) any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company solely for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, such Stockholder or any such family members. “Spousal Equivalent” as used herein shall mean an individual who is registered with any state governmental entity as a domestic partner of the relevant person to whom such individual may be a Spousal Equivalent (a “Registered Domestic Partner”) or who (i) irrespective of whether or not the relevant person to whom such individual may be a Spousal Equivalent and the Spousal Equivalent are the same sex, they are the sole spousal equivalent of the other for the last twelve (12) months, (ii) they intend to remain so indefinitely, (iii) neither are married to anyone else nor a Registered Domestic Partner with anyone else, (iv) both are at least 18 years of age and mentally competent to consent to contract, (v) they are not related by blood to a degree of closeness that which would prohibit legal marriage in the state in which they legally reside, (vi) they are jointly responsible for each other’s common welfare and financial obligations, and (vii) they reside together in the same residence for the last twelve (12) months and intend to do so indefinitely; or

(b) in the case of a Stockholder that is an entity, the transfer without consideration of any Shares by a Stockholder to its stockholders, members, partners, other equity holders, or affiliates.

5.3 In the case of any transfer consented to by the corporation or described in Section 5.2 above or otherwise, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares subject to the provisions of this Section 5, and there shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accordance with this Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3.

7.1 In the event that the Subscriber fails to conform his/her/its personal conduct to common and accepted standards of good citizenship or conducts himself/herself/itself in a way that reflects poorly upon Fundrise, as determined by the Board of Directors of Fundrise (the “Board”) in its sole, but good faith discretion, the Board may elect, at its sole discretion, to cause Fundrise to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares held by the Subscriber; provided, however that the Board may delegate the power to make the decision to cause Fundrise to repurchase the Subscriber’s Shares under this Section 7 to Fundrise’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”).

7.2 In the event that the Board (or the CEO if the Board has delegated its power to the CEO), elects to cause Fundrise to repurchase any Shares pursuant to this Section 7, Fundrise shall, within fifteen (15) business days of such election, send written notice to the Subscriber stating that Fundrise is exercising its right to repurchase the Subscriber’s Shares pursuant to Section 7 (the “Repurchase Notice”).

7.3 In connection with any repurchase by Fundrise of Shares pursuant to this Section 7, the price paid to the Subscriber shall be equal to the aggregate original purchase price paid for the Shares plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares (the “Repurchase Price”). The Repurchase Price paid pursuant to this Section 7 shall be delivered to the Subscriber within fifteen (15) business days after the Repurchase Notice is provided to the Subscriber. The date on which Fundrise pays or tenders the Repurchase Price to the Subscriber shall be referred to herein as the “Repurchase Date”.

7.4 On or before the Repurchase Date, the Subscriber shall surrender any certificate or certificates representing such Shares (or, if the Subscriber alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to Fundrise to indemnify Fundrise against any claim that may be made against Fundrise on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to Fundrise, in the manner and at the place designated in the Repurchase Notice.

7.5 On the Repurchase Date, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the Shares so called for repurchase shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such Shares shall forthwith after the Repurchase Date terminate. Any Shares that are repurchased shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired.

10.1 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof).

10.2 All notices and communications to be given or otherwise made to the Subscriber shall be deemed to be sufficient if sent by electronic mail to such address as set forth for the Subscriber at the records of Fundrise (or that you submitted to us via the Fundrise Platform). You shall send all notices or other communications required to be given hereunder to Fundrise via email at investments@fundrise.com (with a copy to be sent concurrently via prepaid certified mail to: Rise Companies Corp., 1601 Connecticut Ave., NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20009, Attention: Investor Relations.

As used in this Section, “business day” shall mean any day other than a day on which banking institutions in the State of Delaware are legally closed for business.

10.3 This Agreement, or the rights, obligations or interests of the Subscriber hereunder, may not be assigned, transferred or delegated without the prior written consent of Fundrise. Any such assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of this section shall be null and void.

10.4 The parties agree to execute and deliver such further documents and information as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

10.6 If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, rule or regulation, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

10.7 In the event that either party hereto shall commence any suit, action or other proceeding to interpret this Agreement, or determine to enforce any right or obligation created hereby, then such party, if it prevails in such action, shall recover its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and costs of appeal, if any.

10.8 This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules attached hereto) and the documents referred to herein (including without limitation the Shares) constitute the entire agreement among the parties and shall constitute the sole documents setting forth terms and conditions of the Subscriber’s contractual relationship with Fundrise with regard to the matters set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral, written or electronic, between us.

10.9 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, or facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10 The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

A Tax Document provides important information you need to complete your tax returns. Tax Documents include Form 1099. Occasionally, we are required to send you CORRECTED Tax Documents.

You will also need a printer if you wish to print Tax Documents on paper, and electronic storage if you wish to download and save Tax Documents to your computer.

(a) Either party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 14 (this “Arbitration Provision”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Washington, DC. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and Fundrise (or persons claiming through or connected with Fundrise), on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Share, the Fundrise Platform, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of Section (e) below) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

(b) The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply.

(c) If we elect arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator’s rules. We shall pay the administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney’s fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

(d) Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate an individual Claim that you may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party, or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this sub-section (f), and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this sub-section (f) shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

(g) This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

(h) This Arbitration Provision shall survive (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure, or amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any party hereto or other party; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Share or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any other party. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than sub-section (f) is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in sub-section (f) are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of sub-section (f) to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

	·	Enhance Technology Infrastructure and Analytics Capabilities. We plan to make substantial investments in our technology infrastructure and analytics capabilities, including servicing, tax management, asset management, business process automation, automated underwriting, and data driven origination. Investing in our platform leads to increased automation of our operations and, we believe, will continue to provide a significant time and cost advantage over traditional capital sources run on legacy systems that are inflexible and slow to evolve. Our technology platform significantly reduces the need for physical and human infrastructure and lowers our costs, which provides us with significant operating leverage. By developing a model that increases in efficiency and performance as it scales, we are able to leverage our growth to improve our overall operations.

	·	Expand Product Offerings. Following the successful introduction of our line of eREIT^TM investment vehicles, over time we plan to expand our offerings by introducing new real estate products. We believe there are opportunities to expand our investment targets to focus on other real estate verticals, to offer greater variety and more niche focused opportunities. While we intend to fund the expansion of our product offerings in part from the proceeds we receive from this offering, we have not yet finalized the specific products we will introduce or established a particular timeline to expand our product offerings, which we believe will be dependent in part upon overall market conditions and ongoing feedback from our existing investor base.

(1)	Renren Lianhe Holdings is a record owner of 7,856,395 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which amounts to 66.2% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock), and certain other holders, some of which are listed in the table above, are record owners of the remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. However, pursuant to the Voting Agreement described in footnote 6 below, Renren Lianhe Holdings is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 100.0% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock because, as a majority owner of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (i) Renren Lianhe Holdings is entitled to nominate the one director allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the remaining holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have effectively agreed to vote in accordance with Renren Lianhe Holdings with respect to such director.
(2)	Voting power with respect to common stock is calculated by taking into account the votes of Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock and Class M Common Stock all voting together as a single class, with Class A Common Stock carrying one (1) vote per share, Class F Common Stock carrying ten (10) votes per share, and Class M Common Stock carrying one (9) votes per share. As of December 23, 2016, there were no shares of Class M Common Stock issued and outstanding.
(3)	Voting power with respect to capital stock is calculated by taking into account the votes of Class A Common Stock, Class F Common Stock, Class M Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock all voting together as a single class (with Series A Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis), with Class A Common Stock carrying one (1) vote per share, Class F Common Stock carrying ten (10) votes per share, Class M Common Stock carrying one (9) votes per share, and Series A Preferred Stock carrying one (1) vote per share.
(4)	Mr. Miller’s beneficial ownership of 618,236 shares of Series A Preferred Stock consists of (i) 249,557 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Miller, and (ii) 368,679 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by WestMill Capital Partners LLC, with respect to which Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller have shared voting and investment power.
(5)	The holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock are restricted shares issued under our 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan. The holder is entitled to vote all such shares even though not all such shares have vested.
(6)	On April 14, 2014, in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock financing described in “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions”, we entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with certain Class A and Class F holders of our common stock and Series A holders of our preferred stock, including persons who held more than 10% of any class of our outstanding capital stock, our executive officers and directors, entities with which certain of our officers and directors are affiliated, and family members of certain of our officers and directors. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the holders of certain shares of our common stock and preferred stock have agreed to vote their shares on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors, in accordance with the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares eligible to vote on such matter. The Voting Agreement creates a beneficial ownership group under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which group is comprised of certain holders of our Class A Common Stock, all holders of our Class F Common Stock and all holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.
(7)	Mr. Miller’s beneficial ownership of 618,236 shares of Series A Preferred Stock consists of (i) 249,557 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Miller, and (ii) 368,679 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by WestMill Capital Partners LLC, with respect to which Benjamin Miller and Daniel Miller have shared voting and investment power.
