CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Shepherd’s Finance, LLC, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” or other similar words identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this report, including without limitation, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, trends affecting the markets in which we operate, our business, financial condition and growth strategies.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on the economy and housing markets; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; the rate and the pace of economic recovery following economic downturns; and those other risks described in other risk factors as outlined in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with our business, and important factors that could cause our actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, please refer to the factors set forth in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of the documents we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep these risk factors, as well as the other cautionary statements in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 in mind. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We are not obligated to update forward-looking statements.

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Information presented throughout these notes to the consolidated financial statements is in thousands of dollars.

 

1. Description of Business

 

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) was originally formed as a Pennsylvania limited liability company on May 10, 2007. We are the sole member of two consolidating subsidiaries, 339 Justabout Land Company, LLC and Builder’s Assistance, LLC. The Company operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement by and among Daniel M. Wallach and the other members of the Company effective as of March 16, 2017, and as subsequently amended.

 

The Company extends commercial loans to residential homebuilders and invests in land transactions (in 20 states as of June 30, 2025) to:

 

  construct single family homes,
     
  develop undeveloped land into residential buildings lots, and
     
  purchase and improve for sale older homes.

 

In addition, the Company develops property which is subdivided into two parcels. One parcel is under lot development and available for home construction. The second parcel will be developed into a new phase of lots and available for construction once completed.

 

On March 14, 2025, the Company changed the name of its consolidated subsidiary, Shepherd’s Stable Investments, LLC, to Builder’s Assistance, LLC (“Builder’s Assistance”). Builder’s Assistance was established to provide accounting and other business support services to third parties, primarily customers of the Company. Revenue generated from operations at Builder’s Assistance was insignificant during the periods presented.

For loans greater than 12 months in age that are individually evaluated, appraisals are ordered and prepared if the current appraisal is greater than 13 months old and construction is greater than 90% complete. If construction is less than 90% complete the Company uses the latest appraisal on file. At certain times the Company may choose to use a broker’s opinions of value (“BOV”) as a replacement for an appraisal if deemed more efficient by management. Appraised values are adjusted down for estimated costs associated with asset disposal. Broker’s opinion of selling price, use currently valid sales contracts on the subject property, or representative recent actual closings by the builder on similar properties may be used in place of a broker’s opinion of value.

 

Appraisers are state certified and are selected by first attempting to utilize the appraiser who completed the original appraisal report. If that appraiser is unavailable or unreasonably expensive, we use another appraiser who appraises routinely in that geographic area. BOVs are created by real estate agents. We try to first select an agent we have worked with, and then, if that fails, we select another agent who works in that geographic area.

 

In addition, our loan portfolio includes performing, forbearance and nonaccrual loans. The Company’s policies with respect to placing loans on nonaccrual and individually evaluated if they are past due greater than 90 days unless management deems the loan an exception. A fair market value analysis is performed and an allowance for credit loss is established based on the results of the analysis.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments

 

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $19,612 and $22,515 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The ACL is calculated at an estimated loss rate on the total commitment value for loans in our portfolio. The ACL on unfunded commitments is calculated as the difference between the ACL on commitment value less the estimated loss rated and the total gross loan value for loans in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the ACL for unfunded commitments was $74 and $88, respectively, and we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.

All distributions, liquidation rights and conversion features are determined based on the undiscounted value of the Series C preferred equity units, which was $8,825 and $6,430 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 

On March 31, 2025, the Company terminated its relationship with a partner who owned 2,969 units of Class A common equity. Effective April 1, 2025, the Company executed a unit exchange agreement with the respective partner where all 2,969 units of common equity with a carrying value of $287 were exchanged for 2,329.533 units of Series C preferred equity with a fixed value of $2,330. The difference between the carrying value of the Class A common units and the fixed value of the Series C preferred units of $2,043 is reflected as a discount on preferred equity.

 

On May 30, 2025, the Company redeemed 251.10821 of the Series C preferred equity beneficially owned by the Company’s CEO and his wife, at a redemption price of $251,108.21.

 

On April 19, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”) with an effective date of March 31, 2024. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, after six years from the date of investment, instead of being entitled to the right of redemption, the holders of Series C Preferred Units will be entitled to convert all or a portion of the Series C Preferred Units to the common units of the Registrant, on a 1 for 1 basis, after a 12-month waiting period after the notice of conversion is given.

 

In addition, the Fourth Amendment restricted the right to require the Company to redeem the Series C Preferred Units for cash; therefore, the units were reclassified from mezzanine equity to Members’ Capital.

 

The following table shows the earliest conversion options for investors in Series C Preferred Equity as of June 30, 2025:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit risk, and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $19,612 and $22,515 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There are no additional off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Other expenses were $207 and $78 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase of $129 in the current year is driven by higher bank fees, entity-level tax and licensing fees and higher insurance costs.

 

14. Subsequent Events

 

Management of the Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 8, 2025, the date these interim consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

On August 6, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, 339 Justabout Land Company, LLC, for total consideration of $10,367. 339 Justabout Land Company operated the Company’s real estate investment segment. This transaction occurred subsequent to the June 30, 2025 reporting period and did not impact the financial position or results of operations presented in these interim financial statements. The Company funded the purchase of 339 Justabout Land, LLC, by increasing the maximum commitment available under an existing credit agreement with the purchasers to $13,450, which includes $10,367 to fund the purchase price.

 

The Company is in the process of determining the final gain on sale and expects to recognize the transaction in its third quarter financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

(All dollar [$] amounts shown in thousands.)

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report and with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes and other consolidated financial data (the “2024 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

 

Overview

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company continued to focus on the reduction of non-interest earning assets. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 21 loans classified as nonaccrual with gross loan values of $2,085 compared to 21 loans with gross loan values of $ 4,971 as of December 31, 2024. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, we had four or $1,514 foreclosed assets, net compared to four or $1,356 as of December 31, 2024.

 

The estimated loss on interest income resulting from non-interest earning assets for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $252 and $504 compared to $275 and $550 for the same periods of 2024. Looking ahead, we expect the balance of non-interest earning assets to remain somewhat constant.

 

While the Company continues to face risks as it relates to the economy and the homebuilding industry, management has decided to focus on the following during the remainder of 2025 and the beginning of 2026:

 

  1. Continue to manage the balance of non-interest-bearing assets, which includes foreclosed real estate and nonaccrual assets.
  2. Control SG&A expenses.
  3. Maintain gross margin prior to loan loss.
  4. Maintain liquidity at a level sufficient for loan originations.
  5. Manage loan loss and impairment expense.
 

6.

7.

Reduce our cost of funds, which in turn reduces our interest rate charged to our customers.

Expand our customer base and increase revenues in the Builder’s Assistance program.

 

27

 

 

While some geographic markets are seeing some declines in pricing at some price levels, generally we are not seeing reductions in selling prices as something that is creating losses for us. There is still a housing shortage, and many homeowners are not moving out of their sub 3% interest rates. The tariff situation is providing some general uncertainty nationwide, but from a cost perspective to our homebuilder customers, this is not a major factor for them today (though it may be more significant in the future). The National Association of Homebuilders has a very low estimate of the cost of the tariffs for builders. The larger risk to our builders is a risk of the sales market due to general uncertainty of their customers. We have not seen a slowdown in payoffs from our customers. Home prices in many markets are falling. In particular, home prices in the “move up” market are dropping. These are homes being sold in the mid-price range, not the starter homes or the high end homes. These drops may eventually cause more builder failures and losses. We believe that long term interest rates for our builders’ customers will be lower by fall of 2026 than they are today, so we don’t intend to curtail lending today.

 

We had $47,180 and $48,387 in loan receivables, net as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Loans receivables decreased $1,207 as of June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 due primarily to the reclass of $909 to foreclosed assets and an increase in payoffs. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 162 construction loans with 54 borrowers and eight development loans with eight borrowers in 20 states.

 

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold eight 339 lots for both revenue and cost of land parcels sold of $2,805. No gains or losses were recognized from the sale of the land parcels during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no sales of land parcels.

 

Net cash provided by operations increased $1,685 to $3,617 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. The increase in operating cash flow was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of 339 land parcels of $2,805 offset by changes in other assets.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

To assist in evaluating our interim consolidated financial statements, we describe below the critical accounting estimates that we use. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See our 2024 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, for more information on our critical accounting estimates. No material changes to our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2024, unless listed below.

 

Loan Losses

 

Fair value of collateral has the potential to impact the calculation of the loan loss provision (the amount we have expensed over time in anticipation of loan losses we have not yet realized). Specifically, relevant to the allowance for loan loss reserve is the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the outstanding loan balances. Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Due to a rapidly changing economic market, an erratic housing market, the various methods that could be used to develop fair value estimates, and the various assumptions that could be used, determining the collateral’s fair value requires significant judgment.

 

Change in Fair Value Assumption  June 30, 2025
Loan Loss
Provision
Higher/(Lower)
 
Increasing fair value of the real estate collateral by 35%*  $- 
Decreasing fair value of the real estate collateral by 35%**  $4,173 

 

* Increases in the fair value of the real estate collateral do not impact the loan loss provision, as the value generally is not “written up” except to the extent that previously recognized reserves may be reduced or eliminated if the fair value of collateral increases on loans that are individually evaluated.

 

** Assumes the loans were non-performing and a book amount of the loans outstanding of $47,180.

 

28

 

 

Foreclosed Assets

 

The fair value of real estate will impact our foreclosed asset value, which is recorded at 100% of fair value (after selling costs are deducted).

Foreclosed

Assets

Higher/(Lower)

 
Increasing fair value of the foreclosed asset by 35%*  $- 
Decreasing fair value of the foreclosed asset by 35%**  $529 

 

* Increases in the fair value of the foreclosed assets do not impact the carrying value, as the value generally is not “written up” except to the extent that we remove previously established reserves if the fair value of the property increases after initial impairment. All other T gains would be recognized upon asset disposal.

 

** Assumes a book amount of the foreclosed assets of $1,514.

29

 

 

Primarily three main components impact our interest spread:

 

Difference between the interest rate received (on our loan assets) and the interest rate paid (on our borrowings). Our loan originations include interest rates which are based on our cost of funds, with a minimum rate of 10.25%. Primarily, the margin is fixed at 2.5%; however, for our development loans the margin is generally fixed at 7%. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity). For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, interest income on loans was 15% compared to 13% for the same period of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest income on loans was 15% compared to 14% for the same period of 2024.

 

We anticipate our standard margin to be 2.5% on all future construction loans and generally 7% on all development loans, which yields a blended margin of approximately 3.5%. This 2.5% margin may increase because some customers run past the standard repayment time and pay a higher rate of interest after that.

 

Fee income. Our construction loan fee is 5% on the amount we commit to lend, which is amortized over the expected life of each loan. When loans terminate before their expected life, the remaining fee is recognized at that time. During 2022, we started charging an annual fee on most of our development loans which varies.

 

Fee income on loans before deferred loan fee adjustments was 5% for both the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 4% for the same periods of 2024.

 

Amount of non-performing assets. Generally, two types of non-performing assets negatively affect our interest spread which are loans not paying interest and foreclosed assets.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, foreclosed assets were $1,514 and $1,356, respectively, which resulted in a negative impact to our interest spread.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

 

Provision for credit losses (expense throughout the period) was $120 and $387 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $183 and $868, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses is due to the reduction of certain individually evaluated loan assets. As of June 30, 2025 nonaccrual loans, net, decreased to 21 or $2,085 compared to 21 or $4,313 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease is a result of several payoffs in 2025 of loans with substantial reserves as of December 31, 2024. The Company believes it has properly reserved for all foreclosed and individually evaluated loans.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Revenue from the Sale of Land Parcels

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold three and eight 339 land parcels and recognized $968 and 2,805, respectively. No 339 land parcels were sold during the same periods of 2024.

 

Option Fee Income

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized 339 option fee income of $120 and $274, respectively. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized 339 option fee income of $223 and $371, respectively.

 

30

 

 

Other Income

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we consulted for three and two of our construction and development loan customers; respectively, which included accounting guidance. Other income related to our consulting fees were $101 and $28 for the six month periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We anticipate continuing our consulting services to our customers on an as needed basis during 2025.

Our SG&A expense increased $371 to $957 during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. The change in SG&A during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to higher salaries and related expenses and other of $200 and $83, respectively. The increase in salaries and related expenses related to additional employees hired during the period ending June 30, 2025 which resulted in higher compensation costs. The increase in other was due primarily to timing of property tax expenses, and higher office supplies.

 

Other expenses were $207 and $78 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase of $129 in the current year is driven by higher bank fees, entity-level tax and licensing fees and higher insurance costs.

 

Loss on Foreclosed Assets

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we transferred two loan receivable assets to foreclosed assets, which resulted in a loss on foreclosure of $18. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we transferred six loan receivable assets to foreclosed assets, which resulted in a loss on foreclosure of $159.

 

Cost of Land Parcels Sold

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold three and eight 339 land parcels and recognized cost on the sales of $968 and $2,805, respectively. No 339 land parcels were sold during the same period of 2024.

For loans greater than 12 months in age that are individually evaluated, appraisals are ordered and prepared if the current appraisal is greater than 13 months old and construction is greater than 90% complete. If construction is less than 90% complete the Company uses the latest appraisal on file. At certain times the Company may choose to use a broker’s opinions of value (“BOV”) as a replacement for an appraisal if deemed more efficient by management. Appraised values are adjusted down for estimated costs associated with asset disposal. Broker’s opinion of selling price, use currently valid sales contracts on the subject property, or representative recent actual closings by the builder on similar properties may be used in place of a broker’s opinion of value.

 

Appraisers are state certified and are selected by first attempting to utilize the appraiser who completed the original appraisal report. If that appraiser is unavailable or unreasonably expensive, we use another appraiser who appraises routinely in that geographic area. BOVs are created by real estate agents. We try to first select an agent we have worked with, and then, if that fails, we select another agent who works in that geographic area.

 

In addition, our loan portfolio includes performing, forbearance and nonaccrual loans. The Company’s policies with respect to placing loans on nonaccrual and individually evaluated if they are past due greater than 90 days unless management deems the loan an exception. A fair market value analysis is performed and an allowance for credit loss is established based on the results of the analysis.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments

 

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $19,612 and $22,515 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The ACL is calculated at an estimated loss rate on the total commitment value for loans in our portfolio. The ACL on unfunded commitments is calculated as the difference between the ACL on commitment value less the estimated loss rated and the total gross loan value for loans in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the ACL for unfunded commitments was $74 and $88, respectively, and we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.

Preferred Equity and Members’ Capital

 

The Series C Preferred Units have a fixed value of $1 per unit in addition to preferred liquidation and distribution rights. Yearly distributions are payable at a fixed rate, currently of 12% of the Series C Preferred Units’ undiscounted value, and are made on a quarterly basis.

All distributions, liquidation rights and conversion features are determined based on the undiscounted value of the Series C preferred equity units, which was $8,825 and $6,430 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 

On March 31, 2025, the Company terminated its relationship with a partner who owned 2,969 units of Class A common equity. Effective April 1, 2025, the Company executed a unit exchange agreement with the respective partner where all 2,969 units of common equity with a carrying value of $287 were exchanged for 2,329.533 units of Series C preferred equity with a fixed value of $2,330. The difference between the carrying value of the Class A common units and the fixed value of the Series C preferred units of $2,043 is reflected as a discount on preferred equity.

 

On May 30, 2025, the Company redeemed 251.10821 of the Series C preferred equity beneficially owned by the Company’s CEO and his wife, at a redemption price of $251,108.21.

 

On April 19, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”) with an effective date of March 31, 2024. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, after six years from the date of investment, instead of being entitled to the right of redemption, the holders of Series C Preferred Units will be entitled to convert all or a portion of the Series C Preferred Units to the common units of the Registrant, on a 1 for 1 basis, after a 12-month waiting period after the notice of conversion is given.

 

In addition, the Fourth Amendment restricted the right to require the Company to redeem the Series C Preferred Units for cash; therefore, the units were reclassified from mezzanine equity to Members’ Capital.

 

The following table shows the earliest conversion options for investors in Series C Preferred Equity as of June 30, 2025:

 

Year Convertible 

Total Amount

Convertible

 
     
Currently eligible to request conversion  $2,987 
2025   198 
2026   309 
2027   1,333 
2028   206 
2029 and thereafter   3,792 
      
Total  $8,825 

 

We strive to maintain a reasonable (about 15%) balance between (1) preferred equity plus members’ capital and (2) total assets. Using undiscounted Series C value, the ratio of preferred equity plus members’ capital to total assets was 15.4% and 12.4% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Using the discounted Series C equity value, the ratio of preferred equity plus members’ capital to total assets is 12.4% as of June 30, 2025. We anticipate this ratio to increase as more earnings are retained in 2026 and additional preferred equity may be added.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity management objective is to meet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and customers. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had combined loans outstanding of 170 and 183, respectively. In addition, loans receivables were $48,819 and $51,138 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $19,612 and $22,515 as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. For off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the estimate of expected credit losses has been presented as a liability on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. Other than unfunded commitments, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.

 

Originations and modifications for the first half of 2025 and 2024 were $26,979 and $21,026, respectively. We expect to continue to have stronger originations through the remainder of 2025.

 

To fund our combined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt, and equity, which are described in the following table:

 

Source of Liquidity 

As of

June 30, 2025

  

As of

December 31, 2024

 
Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs  $20,291   $21,102 
Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs  $34,442   $35,213 
Members’ Capital  $8,440   $8,573 
Cash and cash equivalents  $1,382   $3,347 

 

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents was $1,382 and $3,347, respectively.

 

Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs decreased $811 to $20,291 as of June 30, 2025, compared to $21,102 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in secured debt was due primarily to repayments to our loan purchase and sale agreements lenders.

 

Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs decreased $771 to $34,442 as of June 30, 2025, compared to $35,213 as of December 31, 2024.

 

Members’ Capital decreased $133 to $8,440 as of June 30, 2025, compared to $8,573 as of December 31, 2024.

 

52

 

 

We anticipate equity to remain approximately the same and not change during the six months subsequent to June 30, 2025, mostly through retained earnings. If we are not able to maintain our equity, we will rely more heavily on raising additional funds through the Notes Program.

 

The total amount of our debt maturing through year ending December 31, 2025 is $22,075, which consists of secured borrowings of $16,813 and unsecured borrowings of $4,662.

 

Secured borrowings maturing through the year ending December 31, 2025 significantly consists of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance and S. K. Funding) and several lenders. These secured borrowings are listed as maturing over the next 12 months due primarily to their related demand loan collateral.

 

The following are secured facilities listed as principal maturing in 2025 with actual maturity and renewal dates:

 

  Swanson – $6,090 with various due dates and automatically renews unless notice given;
  Shuman – $125 due July 2026 and automatically renews unless notice is given;
  S. K. Funding – $4,500 due July 2026 and automatically renews unless notice is given;
  S. K. Funding – $2,000 of the total due January 2026;
  Builder Finance, Inc – $2,356 with no expiration date;
  New LOC Agreements - $2,965 generally one-month notice and nine months to reduce principal balance to zero;
  Line of credits with affiliates - $408 and due upon demand
  Line of credit United Bank - $725 due January 2030
  CEDARS United Bank - $1,135 due January 2027

 

Unsecured borrowings due by December 31, 2025, consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $3,620 and $1,642, respectively. To the extent that Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program are not reinvested upon maturity, we will be required to fund the maturities, which we anticipate funding through the issuance of new Notes in our Notes Program. During the last twelve months, approximately 76% of our Note holders reinvested upon maturity. The 36-month Note in our Notes program has a mandatory early redemption option, subject to certain conditions. Our other unsecured debt has historically renewed. For more information on other unsecured borrowings, see Note 7 – Borrowings. If other unsecured borrowings are not renewed in the future, we anticipate funding such maturity through investments in our Notes Program.

 

Summary

 

We have the funding available to address the loans we have today, including our unfunded commitments. We anticipate an increase in our assets during the remainder of 2025 due to an increase in our marketing efforts. We are prepared for an increase in assets through the net sources and uses (12-month liquidity) listed above as well as future capital from debt, preferred equity, and regular equity. Although our secured debt is almost entirely listed as current due because of the underlying collateral being demand notes, the vast majority of our secured debt is either contractually set to automatically renew unless notice is given or, in the case of purchase and sale agreements, has no end date as to when the purchasers will not purchase new loans (although they are never required to purchase additional loans).

 

Inflation, Interest Rates, and Housing Starts

 

Since we are in the housing industry, we are affected by factors that impact that industry. Housing starts impact our customers’ ability to sell their homes. Faster sales generally mean higher effective interest rates for us, as the recognition of fees we charge is spread over a shorter period. Slower sales generally mean lower effective interest rates for us. Slower sales also are likely to increase the default rate we experience.

 

53

 

 

Housing inflation has a positive impact on our operations. When we lend initially, we are lending a percentage of a home’s expected value, based on historical sales. If those estimates prove to be low (in an inflationary market), the percentage we loaned of the value actually decreases, reducing potential losses on defaulted loans. The opposite is true in a deflationary housing price market. It is our opinion that values are well above average in many of the housing markets in the U.S. today, and our lending against these values is having more risk than prior years. In most of our markets, prices of homes sold are dropping. This is both because some homes are selling for less and because the average home selling is smaller (more affordable). However, we anticipate significant declines in home values in some markets over the next 12 months. Specifically, we expect prices of mid-range homes are most likely to drop by the largest percentage, as those sales are mostly based on interest rate and price. The low-priced homes are based on rate and price, but also on trends is rent rates, and rent rates continue to rise. The high-end market is currently resilient, which seems to be based more on the economy and stock market.

 

Interest rates have several impacts on our business. First, rates affect housing (starts, home size, etc.). High long-term interest rates may decrease housing starts, having the effects listed above. Housing starts have been in a tight range over the last year, and generally payoffs appear stable. Higher interest rates will also affect our investors. We believe that there will be a spread between the rate our Notes yield to our investors and the rates the same investors could get on deposits at FDIC insured institutions. We also believe that the spread may need to widen if these rates rise. For instance, if we pay 7% above average CD rates when CDs are paying 0.5%, when CDs are paying 5%, we may have to have a larger than 7% difference. This may cause our lending rates, which are based on our cost of funds, to be uncompetitive. High interest rates may also increase builder defaults, as interest payments may become a higher portion of operating costs for the builder.

 

However, we note that one difference between the current housing cycle compared to prior cycles is that the supply of used homes in the market is low due to the number of homes owned with lower interest rates. Due to the new data on used homes in the market, this makes understanding future results an issue for the Company. Meanwhile, as housing cycles start to decline, foreclosures increase and with their initial interest rate at 3% or less if started within the last 24 months, foreclosures may not have as large of an impact.

 

While most central banks worldwide have lowered their short term rates more than the United States Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), we think the logic from the Fed is based on concerns over tariffs. We also note, based on the July 2025 FOMC statement, the Fed has been gradually reducing its holdings of mortgage-backed securities by capping reinvestments at $35 billion per month. This pace is expected to continue. On top of that, as of April 30, 2025, the U.S. Office of Debt Management estimated that nearly one-third of the national debt was scheduled to mature within one year . Those things all lead to higher than desired interest rates. The Company believes that next fall many of these items will have run their course, and rates mortgage rates for our customers’ buyers will be lower, aiding the homebuilding industry and those financing the builders.

 

Below is a chart showing three-year U.S. treasury rates and 30-year fixed mortgage rates. The U.S. treasury rates, are used by us here to approximate CD rates. Both the short- and long-term interest rates have risen slightly to historically normal levels, which we expect to drop by fall 2025.

Housing prices are also generally correlated with housing starts; therefore, increases in housing starts usually coinciding with increases in housing values, and the reverse is generally true. Looking at the chart below, housing starts have fallen back from the pandemic high; however, since then the change remains relatively flat.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit risk, and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $19,612 and $22,515 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had no additional off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any other such arrangements or obligations.
