FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report, including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Wellings Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”), current and prospective portfolio investments, industry, beliefs and the Fund’s assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Fund’s control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including:

 

business prospects and the prospects of the Fund’s portfolio companies;

 

changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets;

 

the ability of the Investment Adviser to locate suitable investments for the Fund and to monitor and administer the Fund’s investments;

 

the ability of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

 

risk associated with possible disruptions in the Fund’s operations or the economy generally;

 

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of the companies in which the Fund invests;

 

the ability of the companies in which the Fund invests to achieve their objectives;

 

the dependence of the Fund’s future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which the Fund invests;

 

the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of the Fund’s investments;

 

the adequacy, availability and pricing of the Fund’s financing sources and working capital;

 

actual or potential conflicts of interest with the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;

 

contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

 

the economic downturn, interest rate volatility, loss of key personnel, and the illiquid nature of investments; and

 

the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report.

 

Although the Fund believes that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Fund to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can the Fund assess the impact of all factors on the Fund’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Report should not be regarded as a representation that the Fund’s plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Report. Moreover, the Fund assumes no duty and does not undertake to update the forward-looking statements.

WELLINGS REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Organization

 

Wellings Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust incorporated on March 3, 2022, and is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

 

The Fund is externally managed by its investment adviser, Wellings Capital Management, LLC (“Wellings” or the “Adviser”), an investment adviser that registered with the SEC on May 13, 2022 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

The Fund intends to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments, which will consist of the following primary asset classes: acquiring limited partnership (“LP”) equity securities issued by entities that invest in manufactured housing communities (“MHCs”), self-storage facilities, industrial real estate, recreational vehicle parks, and/or multifamily residences, as well as any other commercial real estate assets, throughout the United States indirectly through the Fund’s ownership in funds, pooled investment vehicles, and syndications controlled by such entities that own such real estate interests and that qualify as eligible portfolio companies under the 1940 Act, collectively the “Targeted Assets”.

 

The Fund was seeded on March 30, 2022, with an initial capital contribution of $200,000. The Fund commenced operations on July 1, 2022, and as of December 31, 2023, the Fund had made investments totaling $42,455,066 in qualified investment opportunities, as defined by the Fund’s Form 10. The organizational and offering costs are subject to reimbursement by the Fund, and the Fund was required to begin reimbursing the Adviser upon reaching $20.0 million in investor subscriptions, which was achieved during the year ended March 31, 2023. The Fund will continue to reimburse the Adviser during the next few operational quarters until the full reimbursement amount is paid. The Adviser will on occasion pay invoices on behalf of the Fund, of which the Adviser is due reimbursement.

 

The Adviser is actively evaluating opportunities to invest in other qualifying investments commensurate with the Fund’s available equity capital.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on June 29, 2023. The interim results for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2024 or for any future periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income including realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents can include demand deposits with financial institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and similar type instruments). Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Fund places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund holds no cash and short-term investments in the amount of $8,120,872. Cash equivalents totaling $3,326,294 as of March 31, 2023 were reclassified to short-term investments to conform with current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on earnings or net asset value as of March 31, 2023.

 

7

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

 

Investments at Fair Value

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and can include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, and can include the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

 

The valuation of the Fund’s investments is determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period (the “Valuation Date”), which is generally quarterly.

 

Distributions received in advance relate to special terms from the Fund's preferred equity investments. Due to the general complexities and terms of these deals, the Fund may receive future cash flow at the time of investment. Prior to being recognized as dividend income, cash is held in the Distributions received in advance account.

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for overseeing the Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Adviser on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.

  

The Board has delegated day-to-day management of the valuation process to the Adviser as the appointed valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) and has authorized the Adviser to utilize independent third-party valuation and pricing services that have been approved by the Board. The Adviser has established a valuation committee (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”) to carry out this function. The Valuation Designee is subject to the oversight of the Board. The Valuation Designee is responsible for assessing and managing key valuation risk, and is generally responsible for the review, approval and testing of valuation methodologies and the determination of the fair value of the Fund’s investments.

 

The Fund applies FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and requires disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value.

 

The valuation policies approved by the Board provide that, where deemed appropriate by the Adviser and consistent with the 1940 Act, investments may be valued at cost. Cost would be used only when cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the particular investment under consideration. For example, cost may not be appropriate when the Fund is aware of sales of similar securities to third parties at different prices or in other circumstances where cost may not approximate fair value (which could include situations where there are no sales to third parties). In such a situation, the Fund’s investment will be revalued in a manner that the Adviser Valuation Committee, in accordance with the valuation procedures, determines in good faith best reflects fair value. Valuation methodologies which may be utilized include the public market methodology, private market methodology, analytical methodology (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis), cost methodology, or the use of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the investment as a practical expedient to fair value (see below).

 

The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed in the fair value hierarchy below:

 

  Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and registered investment companies where the value per share (unit) is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date;

 

  Level 2—investments with other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, benchmark yields, bids, offers, transactions, spreads, cash collateral, and other relationships observed in the markets among market securities, underlying equity of the issuer, proprietary pricing models, credit risk, etc.); or

 

  Level 3—investments with significant unobservable inputs (which may include the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

8

 

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. The Fund discloses transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

 

The following is a summary categorization of the Fund’s investments based on the level of inputs utilized in determining the value of such investments as of December 31, 2023. Investments valued at NAV as a practical expedient (see below) are listed in a separate column to permit reconciliation to the total value of investments:

The Fund’s portfolio investments will generally not be in publicly traded securities. Investments for which observable market prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Investment Adviser under consistently applied policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser to be the Valuation Designee to prepare Portfolio Company valuations. The Valuation Designee has adopted appropriate segregation protocols to minimize the Fund portfolio managers’ influence on the Adviser’s Fair Value process. The types of factors that the Investment Adviser will take into account in determining fair value, subject to review and ratification where required by the Board of Trustees with respect to such non-traded investments, will include, as relevant and, to the extent available, the Portfolio Company’s earnings, the markets in which the Portfolio Company does business, comparison to valuations of publicly traded companies in the Portfolio Company’s industry, comparisons to recent sales of comparable companies, the discounted value of the cash flows of the Portfolio Company, the rights and preferences of the specific securities held, and other relevant factors. This information may not be available because it is difficult to obtain financial and other information with respect to private companies. In considering the extent and nature of information utilized in the valuation process, management will generally apply a greater weighting to that information which is recent and observable. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain and may be based on estimates, the determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would be assessed if a readily available market for these securities existed. Based on these factors, the investments in private companies will generally be presented as a Level 3 investment. Changes in accounting standards may not be adopted consistently by issuers or at the same time, and as a result varied implementation may make it more difficult for the Fund to properly evaluate or compare financial information provided by Portfolio Companies of the Fund or to determine the validity of data of publicly traded company comparables for purposes of valuing the Fund’s portfolio holdings.

 

The Fund is permitted to invest in investments that may not have a readily determinable fair value. The Fund may use the NAV reported by the investment as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment will be sold at a value significantly different than the reported NAV. A listing of the categories of investments held by the Fund which are reported using NAV as a practical expedient (and their respective redemption-related attributes) as of December 31, 2023, are as follows:

Qualifying Assets

 

Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, or “qualifying assets,” unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund does not hold any non-qualifying assets.

 

Allocation of Profits and Losses

 

On each Valuation Date, the Fund will allocate income, gains, losses, and deductions for the period since the last Valuation Date pro rata in proportion to the balances in the opening capital accounts in the Fund on the first day of the period (after taking into account any subscriptions, distributions and redemptions since the previous Valuation Date). The profits and losses for any period will reflect unrealized profits and losses on the value of the Fund’s assets during the period, as well as realized capital gains and losses, and any income during the period.

 

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and can include amortization of discounts or premiums. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded as earned or on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had interest income of $86,410 and dividend income of $715,279. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had interest income of $244,480 and dividend income of $1,466,473. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund had interest income of $30 and dividend income of $22,056. For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund had interest income of $52 and dividend income of $22,026.

Fee Income

 

The Fund may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business from portfolio companies such as underwriting, structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, and other non-recurring upfront fees or miscellaneous fees for services rendered by the Fund to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. Other fee income as presented on the statement of operations relates to similar fees received from prospective investments that are not consummated. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had $153,119 and $472,033 of fee income, respectively. For each of the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund had $85,000 of fee income.

  

3. Investment Management and Related Parties

 

The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Adviser. Subject to the oversight of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing day-to-day administrative services to the Fund either directly or through others selected by it for the Fund.

 

Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to a Management Fee, calculated and payable monthly in arrears, at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily Targeted Assets during such period (the “Management Fee”).

 

The Adviser is eligible to receive an incentive fee consisting of an income-based component and a capital gains component, each as described below (the “Incentive Fee”). The Incentive Fee amount, or the calculations pertaining thereto, as appropriate, is pro-rated for any period less than a full calendar quarter or year, as applicable. The portion of the Incentive Fee based on income is determined and paid quarterly in arrears commencing with the first calendar quarter following the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC and equals 20% of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of a 2.5% quarterly (or 10% annually) “hurdle rate.” There are no catch-up provisions applicable to income-based Incentive Fees under this Agreement. The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital-gains is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears, equals 20% of cumulative realized capital gains from the date of the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC to the end of each calendar year, less cumulative net realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, there was $42,204 of Incentive Fee accrued and $127,058 in Management Fee was incurred as presented on the Statement of Operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2022 there was no Incentive Fee accrued and $35,415 in Management Fee was incurred as presented on the Statement of Operations.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, there was $88,412 of Incentive Fee accrued and $322,217 in Management Fee was incurred as presented on the Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended December 31, 2022 there was no Incentive Fee accrued and $56,141 in Management Fee was incurred as presented on the Statement of Operations.

 

4. Indemnifications and Commitments

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund, and therefore cannot be established, however, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund has no unfunded commitments with any investments.

 

5. Organization and Offering Costs

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Fund has expensed as incurred total organizational expense in the amount of $96,025 since inception. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund has incurred total offering costs in the amount of $146,426 since inception which have been recorded and accounted for as a deferred asset and consist primarily of legal fees in connection with the Fund’s registration and public offering. Since the Fund’s shares are offered through a continuous offering, deferred offering costs are amortized over the 12 months beginning with the first sale of shares in July of 2022. Offering costs, organizational expense and expenses of the Fund’s administrator and the Adviser that are eligible for reimbursement by the Fund will be reasonably allocated to the Fund on the basis of time spent, assets under management, usage rates, proportionate holdings, a combination thereof or other reasonable methods determined by the administrator. The Fund was only required to reimburse the Adviser for any organizational expenses and offering costs upon the Fund’s receipt of $20 million in investor subscriptions, which occurred in January 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund’s organizational expense and offering costs since inception in the amounts of $0 and $92,451, respectively, are subject to reimbursement to the Adviser. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Adviser was reimbursed $45,000 of offering costs. Of this amount, $38,974 was charged to the Fund in the form of recoupment for the fees previously expensed and waived by the Adviser in prior periods, and $6,606 in accruals that were previously expensed, but not waived or reimbursed to the Adviser. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Adviser was reimbursed $21,025 of organizational expense and $53,975 of offering costs. Since inception, the Adviser has recouped organizational expense in the amount of $96,025 and offering costs in the amount of $53,975.

6. Capital Stock

 

The Fund conducts private placements of its common shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”), any of which may be a finite offering or a perpetual offering. The Fund offers the Shares in each such offering pursuant to a confidential private placement memoranda prepared by the Fund (each, a “Memorandum”). The offering of Shares pursuant to the Memorandum consists of private placements, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (the “Private Offering”) from suitable investors. The Adviser reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept additional purchases of Shares of up to $50 million (for a maximum initial Offering of $100 million).

 

The Fund expects to enter into separate subscription agreements with a number of investors in the Private Offerings. To purchase Shares in the Private Offerings, an investor must complete and sign a subscription agreement for a specific dollar amount equal to or greater than $50,000 and pay such amount at the time of subscription. Subscriptions will be effective only upon the Fund’s acceptance, and the Fund reserves the right to reject any subscription in whole or in part. All purchases will be made at a per-share price as determined by the Board (including any committee thereof). The per-share price shall be at least equal to the net asset value per share, as calculated within no more than 48 hours of share issuance, in accordance with the requirement contained under Section 23 of the 1940 Act. The Board (including any committee thereof) may set the per-share price above the net asset value per share based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, to ensure that investors acquiring Shares in the Fund after other investors have already done so are apportioned their pro rata portion of the Fund’s organizational expense and offering costs. Prior to a Liquidity Event (defined below), no investor who participated in the Private Offerings will be permitted to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of its Shares unless the Fund provides its prior written consent, and the transfer is otherwise made in accordance with applicable law.

 

In addition, at the discretion of the Board, the Fund may provide liquidity to investors by one or more Liquidity Events. A “Liquidity Event” means, at the discretion of the Board a sale of all or substantially all of the Fund’s assets. However, since the Fund expects that many of the operators and managers of the entities that constitute the Targeted Assets may determine to liquidate the Targeted Assets prior to a contemplated Liquidity Event of the Fund, no sale of all or substantially all of the Targeted Assets may be necessary to return investors’ investments. The Fund will only consider a Liquidity Event if the terms of such Liquidity Event will be in the Fund’s investors’ best interests.

 

7. Fund Distributions

 

The Fund generally intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders out of assets legally available for distribution. The Fund’s monthly distributions, if any, will be determined by the Board. The Fund expects targeted annual distributions of approximately 5-8% of its net assets. The Fund has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) whereby shareholders may have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares from which such distributions were derived. Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP must opt-in and will not automatically be enrolled. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan at any time.

 

The following table summarizes the Fund’s distributions during the nine months ended December 31, 2023:

There were no distributions during the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

 

8. Federal Income Taxes

 

The Fund operates as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not subject to income taxes as a separate entity. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual shareholders. Each shareholder is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and the realized and unrealized gains/(losses) of the Fund. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Based on its analysis, there were no tax positions identified by management of the Fund which did not meet the “more likely than not” standard as of December 31, 2023.

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

 

The following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. The discussion and analysis contained in this section refers to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

The Fund is a closed-end management investment company that has elected its fiscal year end to be March 31 and to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund invests in a variety of commercial real estate asset classes, including, but not limited to, manufactured housing communities, self-storage facilities, RV parks, multifamily, and small-bay industrial properties through investments in limited liability companies (“LLCs”) or limited partnerships (“LPs”). The operators within these asset classes primarily focus on value-add opportunities to increase net operating income, which is then passed on to the investors through free cash flow from operations. In addition, the Fund has elected to be treated as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2022. The investment adviser for the Fund is Wellings Capital Management, LLC (“the Adviser”).

 

The Fund was seeded on March 30, 2022, with an initial capital contribution of $200,000. For the period from April 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022, the Fund's Adviser managed the Fund's registration and organizational readiness processes and incurred organizational and offering costs, respectively, on behalf of the Fund. The organizational and offering costs are subject to reimbursement by the Fund, and the Fund was required to begin reimbursing the Adviser upon reaching $20.0 million in investor subscriptions, which was achieved during the year ended March 31, 2023. The Fund will continue to reimburse the Adviser during the next few operational quarters until the full reimbursement amount is paid.

 

Business proceedings and operations officially commenced on July 1, 2022, and the first fiscal year end was March 31, 2023. The Fund is now in its second year of operations. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund raised approximately $6.25 million and $21.89 million, respectively.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund generated $868,398 from fee income and dividend income from the Fund’s underlying investments in certain LLCs and LPs and $86,410 in interest income, totaling $954,808 for the period.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund generated $1,938,506 from fee income and dividend income from the Fund’s underlying investments in certain LLCs and LPs and $244,480 in interest income, totaling $2,182,986 for the period.

 

Key Components of Operations

 

Investments

 

The Fund's level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available, and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make. As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), “eligible portfolio companies” include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.

 

For existing investments, the Adviser monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company on an ongoing basis to determine if it is meeting its respective business plan and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. In addition, our Investment Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include (i) assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants; (ii) periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor to discuss the financial position, requirements and accomplishments; (iii) comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any; (iv) attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and (v) review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.

Investment Income

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Fund's portfolio consisted of 21 common and preferred equity commercial real estate investments, which are expected to generate stable and consistent cash flow over the long term. The Fund generates revenues in the form of distributions that we receive from the LLC and LP interests that we own. Distribution amounts are determined entirely by the Managing Members/General Partners of those entities and allocated to us based on our proportionate interest in those investments. Distributions we receive are analyzed to determine the amount of the distribution that represents income or return of capital based on the financial information reported to us by the Operator of the underlying investment.

 

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund generated $954,808 and $2,182,986, respectively, in income, coming from fee income, dividend income, and interest income. This is primarily derived from cash flow distributions from the fund’s underlying investments. The interest income came as a result of the fund’s short-term investments in money-market accounts. The Adviser believes that the Fund will continue to generate income during each quarter of the Fund’s operations.

 

Expenses

 

The Fund's primary operating expenses include the payment of the audit expense, management fee to the Adviser, legal and professional fees, interest expenses, and other operating expenses. These expenses are incurred in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement and are necessary to ensure the proper functioning and management of the Fund. The Management Fee and Incentive Fee compensate the Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing, and monitoring our investments. The Fund bears all other expenses of its operations and transactions, including operational expenses, fees and expenses related to investments and prospective investments, brokers’ commissions, legal, auditing or accounting expenses, taxes or governmental fees, officers and directors’ expenses, marketing expenses, valuation expenses, filing expenses, and the fees and expenses of our administrator, transfer agent or sub-transfer agent. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in the aggregate and decrease as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to decrease in the aggregate and increase as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset declines. Additionally, costs relating to future offerings of securities would be incremental.

 

Investment Activity

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund made one new investment and three follow-on investments across varying opportunities, bringing the total to 21 total investments since the Fund’s inception. This brought the total invested since inception to $42.46 million. In addition, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund raised approximately $6.25 million and $21.89 million, respectively, which was used to support the new investments and increase the Fund's liquidity, bringing the total capital contributions to $50.16 million.

 

Details regarding the acquisition costs, investment type, and representative percentage of the Fund’s total net assets can be found in the Schedule of Investments and footnotes to the financial statements included in this filing.

Professional fees

 

The Fund’s professional fees primarily relate to auditing, legal, and valuation services. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund incurred professional fees of $195,571 and $93,991, respectively. The significant increase year-over-year was due to the increased scope of the Fund’s service providers. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund incurred significantly higher legal expenses due to the complex nature of structuring preferred equity deals. These expenses were offset, however, by the fee income received from the operators of the preferred equity deals.

 

Directors and Officers Expense

 

The directors and officers expenses are fees for services related to attending periodic board and committee meetings. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund incurred directors and officers costs of $44,570 and $30,000, respectively.

 

Management Fee

 

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to a Management Fee, calculated and payable monthly in arrears, at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily Targeted Assets during such period. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund incurred management fees of $127,058 and $35,415, respectively.

 

17

 

 

Offering Costs

 

The offering costs consist primarily of legal fees for preparing the prospectus and statement of additional information in connection with the Fund’s registration and public offering. Since the Fund’s shares were offered through a continuous offering, the offering costs were deferred and amortized over the 12 months beginning with the first sale of shares in July 2022. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund amortized offering costs of $0 and $51,644, respectively.

 

Marketing and Distribution Fees

 

The marketing and distribution fees include expenses related to investments and prospective investments, brokers’ commissions, as well as expenses for the marketing and advertising of the Fund in compliance with SEC rules and regulations. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had marketing and distribution costs of $38,400 and $38,000, respectively.

 

Incentive Fee

 

Incentive fee expense represents fees related to the incentive fee owed to the Adviser, as noted in the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement. The Fund is to accrue, but not pay, this amount to the Adviser as the balance related to unrealized appreciation of the Fund’s investments. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had incentive fee expense of $42,204.

 

Accounting and Administrative Fees

 

Accounting and administrative fees represent services provided by a third-party to perform accounting and administration of the Fund. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund incurred accounting and administrative expenses of $20,127 and $9,500, respectively.

 

Insurance Expense

 

Insurance expense represents fees related to the E&O/D&O insurance policy that the Fund has in place. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had insurance expenses of $7,827 and $9,586, respectively.

 

Custody and Transfer Agent Expense

 

The custody and transfer agent expenses represent fees for services provided by a third-party organization. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had custody and transfer agent fees of $10,656 and $1,374, respectively.

 

Organizational expenses

 

Organizational fees represent costs that were incurred to form the Fund. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had organizational fees of $0 and $(64,630), respectively. The reason 2022 saw a negative balance was due to the fact that the Adviser paid all organizational expenses and offering costs prior to the Fund reaching $20.0 million in subscriptions. Upon reaching the $20.0 million threshold, the Fund began to reimburse the Adviser for these expenses.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses primarily include subscriptions and other miscellaneous general and administrative expenses incurred by the Fund. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had other expenses of $38,502 and $18,712, respectively.

 

Recoupment by Adviser of previously reimbursed expenses

 

Recoupment by Adviser of previously reimbursed expenses consists of expenses that were originally paid by the Adviser and subject to reimbursement by the Fund upon achieving $20.0 million in subscriptions. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had recoupment by Adviser of previously reimbursed expenses of $38,394 and $0, respectively.

 

Reimbursement from Adviser

 

Reimbursement from Adviser primarily includes organizational and offering expenses that were incurred by the Fund but paid by the Adviser prior to the Fund receiving $20.0 million in subscriptions. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had reimbursement from Adviser of $0 and $(8,583), respectively.

 

Net Change In Unrealized Appreciation (depreciation)

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had net change in unrealized appreciation of $211,018 and $117,850, respectively. This came as a result of the value of several investments within the Fund being marked at fair value. When performing a fair value assessment of the investments, the Valuation Designee monitors industry cap rates, interest rates, performance of the underlying properties and investments in the Fund, net operating income at the property and fund levels, debt, and overall micro and macroeconomic trends. Each investment considers all factors of the Fair Value hierarchy. Key inputs in these valuations, as referenced in the footnotes to the financial statements, include capitalization rates, net operating income, and debt at the property levels.

 

Details regarding the investments, amounts, valuation methodologies, and results of the valuations can be found in the financial statements and footnotes in this Report.

Net Change In Unrealized Appreciation (depreciation)

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Fund had net change in unrealized appreciation of $422,059 and $117,850, respectively. This came as a result of the fair market value of several investments within the Fund being adjusted as of the reporting date. When performing a fair value assessment of the investments, the Valuation Designee monitors industry cap rates, interest rates, performance of the underlying properties and investments in the Fund, net operating income at the property and fund levels, debt, and overall micro and macroeconomic trends. Each investment considers all factors of the Fair Value hierarchy. Key inputs in these valuations, as referenced in the footnotes to the financial statements, include capitalization rates, net operating income, and debt at the property levels.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Fund had $8.12 million in short-term investments. The investments are liquidated into cash for investing and general corporate purposes at the discretion of management. We believe we have adequate capital resources to meet our liquidity needs.

 

The Fund’s cash used in operating activities was $21.13 million and $17.20 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively, and the Fund’s cash provided by financing activities was $21.08 million and $18.57 for the same periods. The Fund’s operating activities used cash primarily for the Fund’s investment activities and the Fund’s financing activities provided cash primarily due to proceeds of $21.89 million from shares issued.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Fund closed offerings at the beginning of each calendar month, raising $21.89 million in cash that was available for the Adviser to invest in qualified investments. The Fund intends to continue to invest available capital in accordance with its investment strategy. The Adviser believes that the Fund has adequate liquid assets to meet any and all obligations that arise while continuing to make opportunistic investments.

 

Equity

 

The Fund officially began accepting capital contributions on July 1, 2022. From inception to December 31, 2023, the Fund has received total capital contributions of $50.16 million in equity, and the Adviser anticipates this number to continue growing for the foreseeable future.

 

The Fund has made distributions of $1.34 million to investors during the nine months ended December 31, 2023. Cash available for distributions was generated from the Fund’s underlying investments. These distributions are at the sole discretion of the Adviser.

 

The Fund accepted additional subscriptions of $1,887,522 and $3,085,000 on January 1, 2024 and February 1, 2024, respectively. The Fund distributed additional cash of $219,361 as a return on capital to investors on January 22, 2024.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

 

The Fund’s critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:

 

Investment Valuations

 

The valuation of the Fund’s investments is determined as of the close of business at the end of each reporting period, generally quarterly. The board of trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for overseeing the Fund’s valuation policies, making recommendations to the Adviser on valuation-related matters, and overseeing implementation by the Adviser of such valuation policies.

 

21

 

 

The Board has delegated day-to-day management of the valuation process to the Adviser as the appointed valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”). The Adviser has established a valuation committee (the “Adviser Valuation Committee”) to carry out this function. The Valuation Designee is subject to the oversight of the Board. The Valuation Designee is responsible for assessing and managing key valuation risk, and is generally responsible for the review, approval and testing of valuation methodologies and the determination of the fair value of the Fund’s investments.

 

The Fund applies FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and requires disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value.

 

The valuation policies approved by the Board provide that, where deemed appropriate by the Adviser and consistent with the 1940 Act, investments may be valued at cost. Cost would be used only when cost is determined to best approximate the fair value of the particular investment under consideration. For example, cost may not be appropriate when the Fund is aware of sales of similar securities to third parties at different prices or in other circumstances where cost may not approximate fair value (which could include situations where there are no sales to third parties). In such a situation, the Fund’s investment will be revalued in a manner that the Adviser Valuation Committee, in accordance with the valuation procedures, determines in good faith best reflects fair value. Valuation methodologies which may be utilized include the public market methodology, private market methodology, analytical methodology (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis), and/or cost methodology.

 

The inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed in the fair value hierarchy below:

 

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and registered investment companies where the value per share (unit) is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date.

 

Level 2—investments with other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, benchmark yields, bids, offers, transactions, spreads, cash collateral, and other relationships observed in the markets among market securities, underlying equity of the issuer, proprietary pricing models, credit risk, etc.); or

 

Level 3—investments with significant unobservable inputs (which may include the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Excluding the Fund’s Level 1 short-term investments in overnight accounts, all of the Fund’s investments are classified as Level 3.

 

22

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

  

The Fund is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in the Fund’s earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because the Fund expects to fund a portion of its investments with borrowings, its net investment income is expected to be affected by the difference between the rate at which the Fund invests and the rate at which it borrows. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s net investment income.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Fund’s management, under the direction, supervision, and involvement of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) of the Fund. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures in place at the Fund are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Fund’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Fund’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e)and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act).

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Neither the Fund nor the Investment Adviser or Administrator is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to the Fund’s knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Fund, or against the Investment Adviser or Administrator.

 

From time to time, the Fund, the Investment Adviser, or the Administrator may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Fund’s rights under contracts with the Fund’s portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Fund does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon the Fund’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A of the fund’s Form 10-K (File No. 000-56432), which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On October 1, November 1, and December 1, 2023, the Fund sold $2,675,000, $1,875,000, and $1,699,000, respectively, aggregating approximately $6.25 million of unregistered common shares of beneficial interest to accredited investors.
