STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

We make statements in this Annual Report on Form 1-K (“Annual Report”) that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The words “outlook”, “believe,” “estimate,” “potential,” “projected,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” “could,” 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 Annual Report or in the information incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

 

The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report 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:

 

  · our ability to effectively deploy the proceeds raised in our offering (the “Offering”);

 

  · our ability to attract and retain members to the online investment platform located at www.fundrise.com (the “Fundrise Platform”) of Rise Companies Corp. (our “Sponsor”);

 

  · risks associated with breaches of our data security;

 

  · changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and securities markets specifically;

 

  · limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

 

  · increased interest rates and operating costs;

 

  · our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;

 

  · risks associated with derivatives or hedging activity;

 

  · our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor, our property manager and their affiliates;

 

  · expected rates of return provided to investors;

 

  · the ability of our Sponsor and its affiliates to source, originate and service our loans and other assets, and the quality and performance of these assets;

 

  · our ability to retain and hire competent employees and appropriately staff our operations;

 

  · legislative or regulatory changes impacting our business or our assets (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidance related to Regulation A (“Regulation A”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”));

  · changes in business conditions and the market value of our assets, including changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, operator or borrower defaults or bankruptcy, and generally the increased risk of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;
     
  · our ability to implement effective conflicts of interest policies and procedures among the various real estate investment opportunities sponsored by our Sponsor;

 

  · our ability to access sources of liquidity when we have the need to fund redemptions of common shares in excess of the proceeds from the sales of our common shares in our Offerings and the consequential risk that we may not have the resources to satisfy redemption requests;

 

  · our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

 

  · our compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), the Investment Company Act and other laws; and

 

  · changes to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

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 Annual Report. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Annual Report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Annual Report 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 Annual Report, 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 Annual Report, 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 Annual Report will be achieved.

Item 1. Business

  

Fundrise Income eREIT II, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed on November 19, 2015 to originate, invest in, and manage a diversified portfolio of real investments and other real estate-related assets. We may also invest in real estate-related debt securities (including commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, and REIT senior unsecured debt) and other real estate-related assets. We may make our investments through majority-owned subsidiaries, some of which may have rights to receive preferred economic returns. The use of the terms “Fundrise Income eREIT II”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Annual Report refer to Fundrise Income eREIT II, LLC unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

As a limited liability company, we have elected to be taxed as a C corporation. Commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2018, the Company operates in a manner intended to qualify for treatment as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our portfolio was comprised of approximately $20.4 million and $0, respectively, of gross capital deployed in real estate investments, not taking into account distributions, that in the opinion of Fundrise Advisors, LLC (our “Manager”), meets our investment objectives. See Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments for information concerning our investments since December 31, 2018. We intend to diversify our portfolio by investment type, investment size and investment risk with the goal of attaining a portfolio of real estate assets that provide attractive and stable returns to our investors. We make our investments through direct loan origination, the acquisition of individual loan or securities assets or by acquiring portfolios of assets, other mortgage REITs or companies with investment objectives similar to ours.

 

We are externally managed by our Manager, which is an investment adviser registered with the SEC and a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Sponsor, Rise Companies Corp., the parent company of Fundrise, LLC, our affiliate. Fundrise, LLC owns and operates the Fundrise Platform that allows investors to become equity or debt holders in real estate opportunities that may have been historically difficult to access for some investors. Our Manager has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, subject to the limitations in our operating agreement and the direction and oversight of our Manager’s investment committee. Our Sponsor also provides asset management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf. Accordingly, we do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us.

  

Investment Strategy

 

We intend to originate, acquire, asset manage, operate, selectively leverage, syndicate and opportunistically sell investments in a variety of real estate loans (including senior mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans (also referred to as B-Notes), mezzanine loans, and participations in such loans) and investments in real estate (through majority-owned subsidiaries with rights to receive preferred economic returns). We may also invest in real estate-related debt securities (including CMBS, CDOs and REIT senior unsecured debt), and other real estate-related assets. We will seek to create and maintain a portfolio of investments that generate a low volatility income stream that provide attractive and consistent cash distributions. Our focus on investing in debt and debt-like instruments will emphasize the payment of current returns to investors and the preservation of invested capital, with a lesser emphasis on seeking capital appreciation. We expect that our portfolio of investments will be secured primarily by U.S. based collateral and diversified by security type, property type and geographic location.

 

We may selectively employ leverage to enhance total returns to our shareholders through a combination of senior financing on our real estate acquisitions, secured facilities, and capital markets financing transactions. Our target portfolio-wide leverage after we have acquired an initial substantial portfolio of diversified investments is between 40-60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring our initial portfolio, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets (that will also result in greater leverage of the interim portfolio) in order to quickly build a diversified portfolio of assets. We will seek to secure conservatively structured leverage that is long-term, non-recourse, non mark-to-market financing to the extent obtainable on a cost effective basis. To the extent a higher level of leverage is employed it may come either in the form of government-sponsored programs or other long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion. However, other than during our initial period of operations, it is our policy not to borrow more than 75% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. We cannot exceed the leverage limit of leverage policy unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by our Manager’s investment committee.

In executing on our business strategy, we believe that we benefit from our Manager’s affiliation with our Sponsor given our Sponsor’s strong track record and extensive experience and capabilities as an online real estate origination and funding platform. These competitive advantages include:

 

·our Sponsor’s experience and reputation as a leading real estate investment manager, which historically has given it access to a large investment pipeline similar to our targeted assets and the key market data we use to underwrite and portfolio manage assets;

 

·our Sponsor’s direct and online origination capabilities, which are amplified by a proprietary technology platform, business process automation, and a large user base, of which a significant portion are seeking capital for real estate projects;

 

·our Sponsor’s relationships with financial institutions and other lenders that originate and distribute real estate debt and other real estate-related products and that finance the types of assets we intend to acquire and originate;

 

·our Sponsor’s experienced portfolio management team which actively monitors each investment through an established regime of analysis, credit review and protocol; and

 

·our Sponsor’s management team, which has a successful track record of making real estate investments in a variety of market conditions.

 

Investment Objectives

 

Our primary objectives are:

 

· to pay attractive and consistent cash distributions; and

 

· to preserve, protect and return shareholders’ capital contributions.

 

We will also seek to realize growth in the value of our investments by timing their sale to maximize value. However, there is no assurance that our investment objectives will be met. We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that the value of our assets will not decrease. Furthermore, within our investment objectives and policies, our Manager will have substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of our assets.

 

Competition

 

Our net income depends, in large part, on our ability to originate investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields. In originating these investments, we compete with other mortgage REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, private funds, other lenders, governmental bodies and other entities, as well as online lending platforms that compete with the Fundrise Platform, many of which have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital available to them than we have. In addition, there are numerous mortgage REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours, and others may be organized in the future, which may increase competition for the investments suitable for us. Competitive variables include market presence and visibility, size of loans offered and underwriting standards. To the extent that a competitor is willing to risk larger amounts of capital in a particular transaction or to employ more liberal underwriting standards when evaluating potential loans than we are, our investment volume and profit margins for our investment portfolio could be impacted. Our competitors may also be willing to accept lower returns on their investments and may succeed in buying the assets that we have targeted for acquisition. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete effectively in each facet of our business, there is enormous competition in our market sector and there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit our ability to conduct our business effectively.

 

Risk Factors

 

We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the real estate industry generally. These risks are outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Offering Circular filed August 24, 2018 (the “Offering Circular”), which may be accessed here, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. These risks could result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this Annual Report. 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. For further information regarding forward-looking statements, see “Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information.” Unless otherwise indicated, latest results discussed below are as of December 31, 2018.

 

Offering Results

 

 We have offered, are offering, and will continue to offer up to $50.0 million in our common shares in our Offering. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had raised total gross offering proceeds of approximately $25.9 million and $5,000, respectively, from settled subscriptions (the 2018 figure includes $100,000 received in the private placements to our Sponsor, and Fundrise, LP, an affiliate of our Sponsor), and had settled subscriptions in our Offering and private placements for an aggregate of approximately 2,588,000 and 500, respectively, of our common shares. Assuming the settlement for all subscriptions received as of December 31, 2018, approximately 2,360,000 of our common shares remained available for sale to the public under our Offering.

 

We expect to offer common shares in our Offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered, unless terminated by our Manager at an earlier time. Until December 31, 2018, the per share purchase price for our common shares was $10.00 per share, an amount that was arbitrarily determined by our Manager. Thereafter, the per share purchase price is adjusted semi-annually and, as of January 1st and July 1st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter), will equal the greater of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) the sum of our net asset value, or NAV, divided by the number of our common shares outstanding as of the end of the prior semi-annual period (NAV per share). The per share purchase price of our common shares has been and will be $10.00 per share from inception through April 30, 2019. Although we do not intend to list our common shares for trading on a stock exchange or other trading market, we have adopted a redemption plan designed to provide our members with limited liquidity on a monthly basis, after observing a mandatory 60-day waiting period, for their investment in our shares. 

 

Distributions

 

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our members of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain), and to avoid federal income and excise taxes on retained taxable income and gains we must distribute 100% of such income and gains annually. Our Manager may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status and/or avoid such taxes on retained taxable income and gains depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our Manager deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare distributions based on daily record dates and pay distributions on a quarterly or other periodic basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

 

While we are under no obligation to do so, we have in the past and expect in the future to declare and pay distributions quarterly in arrears; however, our Manager may declare other periodic distributions as circumstances dictate. In order that investors may generally begin receiving distributions immediately upon our acceptance of their subscription, we expect to authorize and declare distributions based on daily record dates.

 

During fiscal year 2018, our distributions have been funded from both cash flow from our real estate investments and offering proceeds with a majority of such distributions being funded from our cash flow provided by real estate investments.

On October 8, 2018, we paid out our first distribution to members for the distribution period of September 6, 2018 through September 30, 2018. In addition, our Manager has declared daily distributions for members of record as of the close of business on each day from September 6, 2018 through April 30, 2019, as shown in the table below:

 

Distribution Period  Daily Distribution
Amount/Common Share
   Date of
Declaration
   Payment Date (1)   Annualized Yield (2) 
09/06/18 – 09/30/18   0.0019178082    09/04/18    10/08/18    7.00%
10/01/18 – 10/31/18   0.0019178082    09/26/18    01/07/19    7.00%
11/01/18 – 11/30/18   0.0016438356    10/29/18    01/07/19    6.00%
12/01/18 – 12/31/18   0.0019178082    11/29/18    01/07/19    7.00%
01/01/19 – 01/31/19   0.0020547945    12/27/18    04/10/19    7.50%
02/01/19 – 02/28/19   0.0019178082    01/30/19    04/10/19    7.00%
03/01/19 – 03/31/19   0.0019178082    02/28/19    04/10/19    7.00%
04/01/19 – 04/30/19   0.0021917808    03/28/19    07/21/19    8.00%
Weighted Average   0.0019357262(3)   -    -    7.07%(4)

 

(1)Dates presented are the dates on which the distributions were, or are, scheduled to be distributed; actual distribution dates may vary.

 

(2)Annualized yield numbers represent the annualized yield amount of each distribution calculated on an annualized basis at the then current rate, assuming a $10.00 per share purchase price. While the Manager is under no obligation to do so, each annualized basis return assumes that the Manager would declare distributions in the future similar to the distributions for each period presented, and there can be no assurance that the Manager will declare such distributions in the future or, if declared, that such distributions would be of a similar amount.

 

(3)Weighted average daily distribution amount per common share is calculated as the average of the daily declared distribution amounts from September 6, 2018 through April 30, 2019.

 

(4)Weighted average annualized yield is calculated as the annualized yield of the average daily distribution amount for the periods presented, using a $10.00 per share purchase price.

  

Any distributions that we make directly impact our NAV by reducing the amount of our assets. Our goal is to provide a reasonably predictable and stable level of current income, through quarterly or other periodic distributions, while at the same time maintaining a fair level of consistency in our NAV. Over the course of your investment, your distributions plus the change in NAV per share (either positive or negative) will produce your total return.

 

Our distributions will generally constitute a return of capital to the extent that they exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution is treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will reduce a holder’s adjusted tax basis in the holder’s shares, and to the extent that it exceeds the holder’s adjusted tax basis will be treated as gain resulting from a sale or exchange of such shares.

 

Redemption Plan

 

We have adopted a redemption plan whereby, on a monthly basis, after observing a mandatory 60-day waiting period, a shareholder may obtain liquidity as described in detail in our Offering Circular, Our Manager may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed shareholders, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason.

 

As of December 31, 2018, approximately 15,000 common shares had been submitted for redemption and 100% of such redemption requests have been honored.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way, that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe our critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our financial statements, for a more thorough discussion of our accounting policies and procedures.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has released several Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) that may have an impact on our financial statements. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements in our financial statements for discussion of the relevant ASUs. We are currently evaluating the impact of the various ASUs on our financial statements and determining our plan for adoption.

 

Extended Transition Period

 

Under Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 financial statements may not be comparable to companies that adopt accounting standard updates upon the public business entity effective dates.

 

Sources of Operating Revenues and Cash Flows

 

We expect to primarily generate revenues from net interest income on our real estate debt investments and for income to primarily be derived through the difference between revenue and the cost at which we are able to finance our investments. We may also seek to acquire investments which generate attractive returns without any leverage. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition, in our financial statements for further detail. 

 

Results of Operations

 

On September 5, 2018, we substantially commenced operations upon our satisfying the $1.0 million minimum offering requirement for our initial Offering (not including the $100,000 received in the private placements to our Sponsor and Fundrise, LP). For the year ended December 31, 2018, we earned total net income of approximately $247,000 primarily attributable to interest income from our investments. We did not have any net income or loss for the year ended December 31, 2017, as operations had not yet commenced.

 

Revenue

  

Interest Income

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we earned interest income of approximately $455,000 and $0 respectively, from our real estate debt investments. The increase in interest income is primarily attributable to our being operational in 2018, as opposed to 2017.

 

Equity in Earnings (Losses)

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred equity in earnings (losses) of approximately $(117,000) and $0 from our equity method investees, respectively. The decrease in equity in earnings is due to adding investments in equity method investees during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Expenses

 

General and Administrative

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $115,000 and $0, respectively, which included auditing and professional fees, bank fees, and other costs associated with operating our business. The increase in general and administrative expense is due to operations commencing in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We require capital to fund our investment activities and operating expenses. Our capital sources may include net proceeds from our Offerings, cash flow from operations, net proceeds from asset repayments and sales, borrowings under credit facilities, other term borrowings and securitization financing transactions.

 

We are dependent upon the net proceeds from our Offering to conduct our operations. We obtain the capital required to primarily originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our Offering and from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of December 31, 2018, we had deployed approximately $20.4 million for the investments discussed above and had approximately $6.0 million in cash. In addition to our investments of approximately $20.4 million, we had future funding commitments up to an $7.1M related to our investments. As of December 31, 2018, we anticipate that proceeds from our Offering will provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding commitments and costs of operations. 

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had no outstanding debt.

 

We may employ leverage to enhance total returns to our members through a combination of senior financing on our real estate acquisitions, secured facilities, and capital markets financing transactions. Our target portfolio-wide leverage after we have acquired an initial substantial portfolio of diversified investments is between 50-85% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring our initial portfolio, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets (that will also result in greater leverage of the interim portfolio) in order to quickly build a diversified portfolio of multifamily rental properties and development project assets. We seek to secure conservatively structured leverage that is long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing to the extent obtainable on a cost-effective basis. To the extent a higher level of leverage is employed it may come either in the form of government-sponsored programs or other long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing.

 

Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors. However, other than during our initial period of operations, it is our policy to not borrow more than 85% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. We cannot exceed the leverage limit of our leverage policy unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by our Manager’s investment committee. From August 17, 2018 through January 31, 2019, in order to manage this liquidity, we executed a Promissory Grid Note that allowed us up to $10.0 million in additional liquidity in an agreement executed with our Sponsor (see Note 7, “Related Party Arrangements - Rise Companies Corp, Member and Sponsor” in our financial statements). Additionally, we have the ability to raise an additional amount of our common shares representing the maximum number of shares available to be offered out of the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount of $50.0 million in our common shares. 

 

If we are unable to raise $50.0 million in common shares, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we have certain direct and indirect operating expenses. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions. 

 

Outlook and Recent Trends

 

We believe that the near and intermediate-term market for investment in real estate loans, real estate and other real estate-related assets is compelling from a risk-return perspective. Given the prospect of low growth for the economy, we favor a strategy weighted toward targeting senior and mezzanine debt which maximize current income, with significant subordinate capital and downside structural protections. In contrast, returns typically associated with pure equity strategies are mostly “back-ended” and are dependent on asset appreciation, capitalization rate compression, cash flow growth, aggressive refinancing and/or sale of the underlying property. We believe that our investment strategy combined with the experience and expertise of our Manager’s management team provide opportunities to originate investments with attractive current and accrued returns and strong structural features directly with real estate companies, thereby taking advantage of changing market conditions in order to seek the best risk-return dynamic for our shareholders.

Management’s Responsibility for the 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.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 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 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.

 

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fundrise Income eREIT II, LLC as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fundrise Income eREIT II, LLC

 

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

1.Formation and Organization

  

Fundrise Income eREIT II, LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 19, 2015, as a Delaware Limited Liability Company, and substantially commenced operations on September 5, 2018. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Fundrise Income eREIT II, LLC except where the context otherwise requires.

 

The Company was organized primarily to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of real investments and other real estate-related assets. The Company may make its investments through majority-owned subsidiaries, some of which may have rights to receive preferred economic returns.

 

The Company’s business is externally managed by Fundrise Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Manager is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company.

 

 We believe we have operated in such a manner as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 2018. We hold substantially all of our assets directly, and as of December 31, 2018 have not established an operating partnership or any taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) or qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”), though we may form such entities as required in the future to facilitate certain transactions that might otherwise have an adverse impact on our status as a REIT.

 

The Offering(s) is being conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of securities is continuous, active sales of securities may happen sporadically over the term of an Offering. A maximum of $50.0 million of the Company’s common shares may be sold to the public in its Offering in any given twelve-month period. However, each Offering is subject to qualification by the SEC. The Manager has the authority to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The Company’s initial offering of $50.0 million in common shares was qualified on August 22, 2018

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, after redemptions, the Company has net common shares outstanding of approximately 2,573,000 and 500 respectively, including common shares to Rise Companies Corp. (the “Sponsor”), the owner of the Manager. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Sponsor owned 500 common shares. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, Fundrise, L.P., an affiliate of the Sponsor, had purchased an aggregate of 9,500 common shares at $10.00 per share in a private placement, for an aggregate purchase price of $95,000. At December 31, 2017, Fundrise, L.P. had committed to purchase 9,500 common shares at $10.00, but had not yet purchased any common shares. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the total amount of equity outstanding by the Company on a gross basis was approximately $25.7 million and $0, respectively, and the total amount of settling subscriptions was approximately $516,000 and $0, respectively. Both of these amounts were based on a $10.00 per share price.

 

The Company’s Manager, Fundrise Advisors, LLC, has established various plans by which individual clients of the Manager may elect to have distributions received from eREITs and eFunds reinvested across such individual client’s Fundrise portfolio according to such individual client’s selected preferences (“Reinvestment Plans”). Shares purchased through such Reinvestment Plans are done so at the effective price at the time of distribution issuance. As of December 31, 2018, $7,000 of distributions declared by the Company have been reinvested directly into the Company through such Reinvestment Plans.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the SEC. 

 

F-6

 

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

 

Cash 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 with respect to cash.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the year.

 

Organizational and Offering Costs

 

Organizational and offering costs of the Company were initially paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company. These organizational and offering costs may include all expenses to be paid by the Company in connection with the formation of the Company and the qualification of the Offering, and the 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, 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. Pursuant to the Company’s second amended and restated operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the Company will be obligated to reimburse the Manager, or its affiliates, as applicable, for organizational and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company. The Manager has decided that the Company shall only reimburse the Manager for the organizational and offering costs subject to a minimum net asset value (“NAV”), as described below.

 

After the Company has reached a NAV greater than $10.00 per share (“Hurdle Rate”), the Company is obligated to start reimbursing the Manager, without interest, for organizational and offering costs incurred, both, before and after the date that the Hurdle Rate was reached. The total amount payable to the Manager will be based on the dollar amount that the NAV exceeds the Hurdle Rate, multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. Reimbursement payments will be made in monthly installments, but the aggregate monthly amount reimbursed shall not exceed 0.50% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from the Offering provided. No reimbursement shall be made if the reimbursement would cause the NAV to be less than the Hurdle Rate. If the sum of the total unreimbursed amount of such organizational and offering costs, plus new costs incurred since the last reimbursement payment, exceeds 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 the Manager has been reimbursed in full.

 

The Company recognizes a liability for organizational costs and offering costs payable to the Manager when it is probable and estimable that a liability has been incurred in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. As a result, there will be no liability recognized until the Company reaches the Hurdle Rate. Upon the Company’s NAV exceeding the Hurdle Rate, it will recognize a liability with a corresponding reduction to equity for offering costs, and a liability with a corresponding expense to for organizational costs. 

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Manager had incurred cumulative organizational and offering costs of approximately $332,000 and $247,000, respectively, on behalf of the Company. The Hurdle Rate was met as of December 31, 2018 and approximately $53,000 and $0 of offering costs were reimbursed or were reimbursable to the Manager at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not reimburse the Manager for any offering costs. As such, approximately $53,000 and $0 remained payable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Of this $53,000 due to the Manager as of December 31, 2018, approximately $10,000 was related to organizational costs and included as an expense in the statements of operations.

Settling Subscriptions

 

Settling subscriptions presented on the balance sheets represent equity subscriptions for which funds have been received but common shares have not yet been issued. Under the terms of the Offering Circular for our common shares, subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within thirty days of receipt by us. 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, we generally issue shares the later of five business days from the date that an investor’s subscription is approved by our Manager or when funds settle in our bank account. We rely on our Automated Clearing House (ACH) provider to notify us that funds have settled for this purpose, which may differ from the time that cash is posted to our bank statement.

 

Investments in Equity Method Investees

 

If it is determined that we do not have a controlling interest in a joint venture through our financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or through our voting interest in a voting interest entity (“VOE”) and we have the ability to provide significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur, with losses limited to the extent of our investment in, advances to, and commitments to the investee.

 

The Company evaluates its investment in equity method investees for impairment semi-annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. To do so, the Company would calculate the estimated fair value of the investment using various valuation techniques, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the entity, the financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, and the expected term of the investment. If the Company determined any decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company would recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of its investment to fair value. No impairment losses were recorded related to equity method investees for the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no equity method investees during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Real Estate Debt Investments

 

Our real estate debt investments may include first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgage and mezzanine loans and participations in such loans and preferred equity interests in unconsolidated joint ventures.

 

Our real estate debt investments are classified as held to maturity, as we have both the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity. Accordingly, these assets 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’s real estate debt investments are subject to semi-annual analysis for potential loan impairment.

 

A debt related investment is impaired when, based on current information and events (including economic, industry and geographical factors), it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the agreement. When an investment is deemed impaired, the impairment is measured based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate. As a practical expedient, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASC Topic 310, Receivables, which permits a creditor to measure an observable market price for the impaired debt related investment as an alternative to discounting expected future cash flows. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor should measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable. A debt related investment is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). A TDR occurs when we grant a concession to a borrower in financial difficulty by modifying the original terms of the loan. Impairments on TDR loans are generally measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan.

 

We have certain investments that are legally structured as equity investments in majority-owned subsidiaries with rights to receive preferred economic returns (referred to throughout these Notes as “preferred equity” investments). We report these investments as real estate debt securities when the common equity holders have a contractual obligation to redeem our preferred equity interest at a specified date.

 

Share Redemptions

 

Share repurchases are recorded as a reduction of common share par value under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our members, subject to certain exceptions, conditions, and limitations. The maximum number of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our Manager.

 

F-8

 

 

The Company has adopted a redemption plan whereby, on a monthly basis, an investor has the opportunity to obtain liquidity monthly, following a minimum 60-day waiting period after submitting their redemption request. Pursuant to the Company’s redemption plan, a member may only (a) have one outstanding redemption request at any given time and (b) request that we redeem up to the lesser of 5,000 shares or $50,000 per each redemption request. In addition, the redemption plan is subject to certain liquidity limitations, which may fluctuate depending on the liquidity of the real estate assets held by the Company. Redemptions are also subject to declining discounts on the redemption price over the course of the time the member has held the shares being redeemed. 

 

In light of the SEC’s current guidance on redemption plans, we generally intend to limit redemptions in any calendar month to shares whose aggregate value (based on the repurchase price per share in effect as of the redemption date) is less than or equal to 0.50% of the NAV of all of our outstanding shares as of the first day of such calendar month, and intend to limit the amount redeemed in any calendar quarter to shares whose aggregate value (based on the repurchase price per share in effect as of the redemption date) is 1.25% of the NAV of all of our outstanding shares as of first day of the last month of such calendar quarter (e.g., March 1, June 1, September 1, or December 1), with excess capacity carried over to later calendar quarters in that calendar year. However, as we intend to make a number of real estate investments of varying terms and maturities, our Manager may elect to increase or decrease the number of common shares available for redemption in any given month or quarter, as these real estate assets are paid off or sold, but we do not intend to redeem more than 5.00% of the common shares outstanding during any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to redeem common shares under the redemption plan.

 

In addition, our Manager may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without prior notice, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed members, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason. However, in the event that we amend, suspend or terminate our redemption plan, we will file an offering circular supplement and/or Form 1-U, as appropriate, and post such information on the Fundrise Platform to disclose such amendment. Our Manager may also, in its sole discretion, decline any particular redemption request if it believes such action is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT.

 

Therefore, a member may not have the opportunity to make a redemption request prior to any potential termination of the Company’s redemption plan.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a limited liability company, we have elected to be taxed as a C corporation. Commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2018, the Company operates in a manner intended to qualify for treatment as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational 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 distributions paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with US GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying distributions to its shareholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation 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 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. No gross deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recorded as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

 

All tax periods since inception remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities in all jurisdictions where we are subject to taxation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and any related premium, discount, origination costs and fees are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Interest income is recognized on real estate debt investments classified as held to maturity securities, and investments in joint ventures that are accounted for using the cost method if the terms of the equity investment includes terms that are akin to interest on a debt instrument.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, which would make the guidance effective for the Company’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has elected to adopt this standard under the modified retrospective approach, effective January 1, 2019. After performing an initial assessment, we have determined that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

F-9

 

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Financial Instruments – Overall, which changes 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. We do not anticipate the adoption will have a significant impact on the presentation of these financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases, which changes the accounting for leases for both lessors and lessees. The guidance requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for virtually all of their leases, including leases embedded in other contractual arrangements, among other changes. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of these financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.

 

 In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated 2016-1 (“ASU 2016-15”), Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on the presentation and classification in the statement of cash flows for specific cash receipt and payment transactions, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”) Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation requirements of restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. The changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during the period should be included in the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balance reconciliation on the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one-line item within the statement of financial position, an entity shall calculate a total cash amount in a narrative or tabular format that agrees to the amount shown on the statement of cash flows. Details on the nature and amounts of restricted cash should also be disclosed. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. This standard has no material impact on the presentation of these financial statements.

 

Extended Transition Period

 

Under Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 financial statements may not be comparable to companies that adopt accounting standard updates upon the public business entity effective dates.

Credit Quality Monitoring

 

The Company’s real estate debt investments 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 preferred interests in real estate similar to the interests just described. The Company evaluates its debt investments at least semi-annually and differentiates the relative credit quality principally based on: (i) whether the borrower is currently paying contractual debt service or guaranteed preferred equity payments in accordance with its contractual terms; and (ii) whether the Company believes the borrower will be able to perform under its contractual terms in the future, as well as the Company’s expectations as to the ultimate recovery of principal at maturity. The Company considered investments for which it expects to receive full payment of contractual principal and interest payments as “performing.” As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, all investments were considered to be performing, as such, no impairment charges have been recorded. In the event that an investment is deemed other than performing, the Company will evaluate the instrument for any required impairment.

6.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We are required to disclose an estimate of fair value of our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the 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 investments 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.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s significant financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, distributions payable, and real estate debt investments. With the exception of real estate debt investments, the carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature. The aggregate fair value of our real estate debt investments including PIK interest is based on unobservable Level 3 inputs, which management has determined to be its best estimate of current market values. The method utilized generally includes a discounted cash flow method (an income approach). Significant inputs and assumptions include the market-based interest or preferred return rate, loan to value ratios, and expected repayment and prepayment dates.

 

As a result of this assessment, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, management estimated the fair value of our real estate debt investments including PIK interest to be $13.1 million and $0, respectively.

7.Related Party Arrangements

 

Fundrise Advisors, LLC, Manager

  

The Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s Offering, and the acquisition, management and sale of the Company’s real estate investments.

 

The Manager is reimbursed for organizational and offering expenses incurred in conjunction with the Offering upon meeting the Hurdle Rate. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Organizational and Offering Costs for the amount of organizational and offering costs incurred and payable for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Company will also reimburse the Manager, subject to the reimbursement limit previously described in Note 2, for actual expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with the selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, to the extent not reimbursed by the borrower, whether or not the Company ultimately acquires or originates the investment. The Company will reimburse the Manager for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to the Company. This does not include the Manager’s overhead, employee costs borne by the Manager, utilities or technology costs. Expense reimbursements payable to the Manager also may include expenses incurred by the Sponsor in the performance of services pursuant to a shared services agreement between the Manager and the Sponsor, including any increases in insurance attributable to the management or operation of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Manager incurred approximately $21,000 and $0 of costs on our behalf, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $7,000 and $0 were due and payable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

The Company will pay the Manager a quarterly asset management fee of one-fourth of 0.85% of our NAV, which, until December 31, 2018, will be based on our net offering proceeds as of the end of each quarter, and thereafter will be based on our NAV at the end of each prior semi-annual period.

 

The Manager has agreed, for a period from inception until December 31, 2018 (the “Fee Waiver Period”), to waive its asset management fee. Following the conclusion of the Fee Waiver Period, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, continue to waive its asset management fee, in whole or in part. The Manager will forfeit any portion of the asset management fee that is waived.

 

Accordingly, during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not incur any asset management fees. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, no asset management fees were payable to the Manager.

 

Additionally, the Company is required to pay the Manager for servicing any non-performing asset. The Company is required to reimburse the Manager for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the special servicing of non-performing assets. The Manager will determine, in its sole discretion, whether an asset is non-performing. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Manager has not designated any asset as non-performing and no special servicing fees have been paid to the Manager.

 

The Company will also reimburse the Manager for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the liquidation of any of our equity investments in real estate. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, no equity investments had been disposed of, and accordingly no disposition expenses were reimbursed. 

 

Fundrise Lending, LLC

 

As an alternative means of acquiring loans or other investments for which we do not yet have sufficient funds, and in order to comply with certain state lending requirements, Fundrise Lending, LLC or its affiliates may close and fund a loan or other investment prior to it being acquired by us. The ability to warehouse investments allows us the flexibility to deploy our offering proceeds as funds are raised. We then will acquire such investment at a price equal to the fair market value of the loan or other investment (including reimbursements for servicing fees and accrued interest, if any), so there is no mark-up (or mark-down) at the time of our acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company purchased two and zero investments, respectively, that were warehoused or owned by Fundrise Lending, LLC.

For situations where our Sponsor, Manager, or their affiliates have a conflict of interest with us that is not otherwise covered by an existing policy we have adopted or a transaction is deemed to be a “principal transaction”, the Manager has appointed an independent representative (the “Independent Representative”) to protect the interests of the members and review and approve such transactions. Any compensation payable to the Independent Representative for serving in such capacity on our behalf will be payable by us. Principal transactions are defined as transactions between our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates, on the one hand, and us or one of our subsidiaries, on the other hand. Our Manager is only authorized to execute principal transactions with the prior approval of the Independent Representative and in accordance with applicable law. Such prior approval may include but not be limited to pricing methodology for the acquisition of assets and/or liabilities for which there are no readily observable market prices. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, fees of approximately $5,000 and $0, respectively, were paid to the Independent Representative as compensation for those services.

 

Fundrise, L.P.

 

Fundrise, L.P. is a member of the Company and held 9,500 shares as of December 31, 2018. Fundrise, L.P. did not hold any shares at December 31, 2017, but was committed to purchase 9,500 shares. One of our Sponsor’s wholly-owned subsidiaries is the general partner of Fundrise, L.P.

 

Additionally, as an alternative means of acquiring loans or other investments for which we do not yet have sufficient funds, Fundrise L.P. may provide capital to Fundrise Lending, LLC for the purposes of acquiring investments where there would otherwise be insufficient capital. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Fundrise, L.P. did not provide capital to Fundrise Lending, LLC for the purposes of acquiring investments on behalf of the Company.

 

Rise Companies Corp, Member and Sponsor

 

Rise Companies Corp is a member of the Company and held 500 shares as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

As a means to provide liquidity during capital raising periods, Rise Companies Corp. issued a promissory grid note to the Company and its affiliates in the amount of $10.0 million. The note was in effect for the Company as of August 17, 2018, bears a 3.00% interest rate, and expired on January 31, 2019. The total drawn between the ten noteholders may not exceed $10.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had drawn $6.8 million on the grid note, all of which was repaid as of December 31, 2018. The Company incurred $13,000 in related interest for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Sponsor incurred approximately $14,000 and $0 of costs on our behalf, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $12,000 and $0 were due and payable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

8.Economic Dependency

 

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage Fundrise Advisors, LLC and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of the Company’s common shares available for issue, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon Fundrise Advisors, LLC and its affiliates. In the event that these companies were unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

 

9.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Reimbursable Organizational and Offering Costs

 

The Company has a contingent liability related to potential future reimbursements to the Manager for organizational and offering costs that were paid by the Manager on the Company’s behalf. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately $332,000 and $247,000 of organizational and offering costs incurred by the Manager may be subject to reimbursement by the Company in future periods, based on achieving specific performance hurdles as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Organizational and Offering Costs.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

As of the date of the 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.
