Risk Factors

The following risk factors starting on page 16 of the Offering Circular are replaced in their entirety, as follows:

Our auditor previously expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, included a going concern note from our auditors. We incurred a net loss for the years ending December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and had an accumulated deficit as of $3,704,156 and $1,755,741 as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We incurred a net loss for the year ending December 31, 2016 and the six months ending June 30, 2017, and had an accumulated deficit of $7,441,025 and $9,404,137 as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, respectively. In view of these matters, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, we have financed our operations through debt and equity financings. We intend to continue financing our future activities and our working capital needs largely from private financing from individual investors and venture capital firms until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The failure to obtain sufficient debt and equity financing and to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objective and continue as a going concern.

We have incurred net losses in the past and expect to incur net losses in the future. If we become insolvent or bankrupt, you may lose your investment.

We have incurred net losses in the past, and we expect to incur net losses in the future. Our accumulated deficit was $7,441,025 as of December 31, 2016 and $9,404,137 as of June 30, 2017. We have not been profitable since our inception, and we may not become profitable. In addition, we expect our operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our operations. If our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset these increased expenses, we may never become profitable. In September 2017, we implemented a broad based salary reduction program in order to reduce our short-term expenses to manage upcoming liquidity needs of the Company. In future periods, we may not have any revenue growth or our revenue could decline. Our failure to become profitable could impair the operations of our Platform by limiting our access to working capital required to operate our Platform. If we were to become insolvent or bankrupt, it is likely that we would default on our payment obligations under the LROs, and you may lose your investment.

Employees

The following information updates and replaces the information in the section titled “Description of the Company’s Business—Employees” on page 72 of the Offering Circular:

We subsequently qualified two additional offering statements: the second (File No. 024-10488) was qualified on October 29, 2015 and the third (File No. 024-10496) was qualified on December 15, 2015. Beginning in mid-January 2016, we began qualifying additional series of LROs through post-qualification amendments (each, a “PQA”) to the offering statement qualified on December 15, 2015. In May 2017, Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC (“GRE 1”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, began offering LROs through the Platform pursuant to an offering statement (File No. 024-10670) that was qualified that same month.

Status of LRO Offerings and Loan Originations for GFI

The tables below outline, as of the date indicated below, the total number of series of LROs (and resulting aggregate sales proceeds) for GFI and GRE 1 that (i) have been sold, (ii) are in the process of being sold, and (iii) are in the process of being qualified. The table below also indicates the total number of series of LROs (and the resulting aggregate value) that GFI or GRE 1 have abandoned or that have been withdrawn (i.e., those series of LROs that were withdrawn and later qualified by a subsequent PQA).

¹ For the purpose of this calculation, excludes LROs offered and sold pursuant to other exemptions from federal and state registration requirements, including Regulation D under the Securities Act.

While this data reflects a high incidence of abandonment, we believe this was due primarily to the delay involved in our offering procedures in place before we made advances. Many borrowers have fixed closing dates for their real estate transactions. Prior to our ability to advance Loans, borrowers were forced to wait to receive financing until after the corresponding LROs were qualified and sold. This process took too long, so many borrowers were forced to withdraw and find alternate financing from other sources due to their internal deadlines. With the enactment of the loan advance program, however, we do not expect the rate of abandoned series to be as high in the future.

The tables below include information related to the status of Loans GFI and GRE 1 have issued under the LRO program (by letter grade) as of September 21, 2017. For these purposes, outstanding Loans are characterized as follows:

Repaid: Loans that have been paid either:

at or before maturity (through prepayment),

after the original maturity date (following extension, modification or other workout arrangement), or

after a fundamental default (where a portion of the principal amount of the Loan has been written off as uncollectable).

Unpaid: Includes Loans that are:

“current” (i.e., no events of default have occurred, all payment obligations have been met or none are yet triggered),

subject to “workout” (i.e., there has been one or more payment defaults on the Loan and GFI or GRE 1, as applicable, has negotiated a modification of the original terms that does not amount to a fundamental default) (see “Description of the Company’s Business—Project Funding and Payment of Expected Yield—Servicing and Collection of Loans” above for more information), or

subject to a “fundamental default” (i.e., where a loan has defaulted and there is a chance that GFI or GRE 1, as applicable, will not be able to collect 100% of the principal amount of the Loan by the Extended Payment Date of the corresponding LROs).

Status of Loan Collection and Servicing under the LRO Program

GFI determined on February 1, 2017 that it would not be possible to collect 100% of the principal amount of 174 Timothy Drive, Dallas, GA 30132 by the Extended Payment Date of the corresponding LROs. This Loan (graded A, with an original principal amount of $90,000) was repaid and corresponding LRO Payments processed to investors, subject to a write off of $22,000 of principal and $7,385 of accrued interest. GFI informed investors who had purchased LROs corresponding to this Loan of the determination that this Loan was in fundamental default on February 3, 2017, and the LROs were repaid the same day. This loss resulted from unforeseen circumstances with the septic system engineering and a previously unknown encroachment issue, but is nevertheless in line with the normal risks of GFI’s business.

GFI determined on June 4, 2017 that it would not be possible to collect 100% of the principal amount of 4626 Brooks Street NE, Washington, DC 20019 by the Extended Payment Date of the corresponding LROs. GFI was in a second lien position and the first lienholder foreclosed on the property on August 1, 2017. GFI has exercised every remedy available to it, and was unable to recover the full principal amount or any interest outstanding. The total principal loss on this loan was $66,000.The risk of loss is in line with a second lien Loan graded F.

The tables below reflect information about the historical workout treatment of Loans covered by the LRO program (by letter grade) as of September 21, 2017. Collection procedures for Loans in default typically involve the pursuit of one or more remedies. For example, a loan may be extended for up to six months before determining it to be in fundamental default. The table below reflects the most extreme collection status of each particular Loan (i.e., the Loan that had been placed into fundamental default at the reporting date would not also be reflected as having been extended). See the discussion above as well as “Description of the Company’s Business—Project Funding and Payment of Expected Yield —Servicing and Collection of Loans” for a more detailed discussion of the characterization of Loans subject to workout.

We believe that the number of Loans GFI and GRE 1 have originated to date is too small to see a grade distribution of Loans in workout that tracks the grade distribution of Loans originated on a risk adjusted basis. We expect to see a more normal distribution as loan volume increases. Grades are an assessment of risk of loss should a default occur, and cannot predict defaults resulting from idiosyncratic events.

Georgia Notes Program

Prior to September 2015, only Groundfloor Properties GA, LLC (“Groundfloor GA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GFI, had issued non-recourse, limited recourse notes, referred to herein as Georgia Notes, through GFI’s Platform. The Georgia Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the federal and state exemptions from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act and the Invest Georgia Exemption, Rule 590-4-2-.08, respectively. Groundfloor GA has not issued any additional Georgia Notes since commencing the LRO program and do not intend to issue any additional Georgia Notes in the future. While similar in structure to the LRO program, the Georgia Notes program (as summarized below) operated under a different legal structure and documentation establishing rights and obligations distinct from those under the LRO Program described in this Offering Circular. As a result, comparisons to the LRO program may not be meaningful, and prospective investors in the series of LROs covered by this Offering Circular should not rely upon the past results of the Georgia Notes and corresponding real estate development projects as indications of the future performance of the LRO program or any Project related to a particular series of LROs thereunder.

The Georgia Notes correspond to commercial loans to real estate developers of between $8,000 and $100,000, at interest rates that range between 6% and 20%, maturing six to 12 months from the date when each loan was made. Payment on each series of Georgia Notes is dependent upon Groundfloor GA’s receipt of payments on the corresponding loan, including principal and accrued interest. The borrower with respect to each loan is the developer that controls the real estate development project. These loans were applied toward a real estate project’s acquisition and/or renovation or construction costs. The real estate developer uses the loan proceeds to complete the real estate project, repaying principal and interest as a balloon payment at maturity. Once the loans are repaid, Groundfloor GA makes payments on the corresponding Georgia Notes. It is expected that investors in the Georgia Notes would profit solely from the interest earned on the Georgia Notes (which corresponds to the interest charged on the corresponding loan). Groundfloor GA takes a lien on the real estate underlying the project to secure each loan; however, investors in the corresponding series of Georgia Notes do not have any recourse against the real estate developer. The recourse against Groundfloor GA is limited to an amount equal to an investor’s pro rata share in value of the loan payments received by Groundfloor GA. Real estate developers are charged origination and servicing fees (ranging from 2% to 4% of the funds needed for the project), which may be included in the total amount of the loan. In addition, in certain circumstances, there are additional processing fees charged to the developer.

Status of Georgia Notes Offerings and Loan Originations

As of September 2015, Groundfloor GA had issued Georgia Notes totaling approximately $1,881,000, funding a total of 36 commercial loans for real estate development for an aggregate principal amount of $1,881,000. Loan sizes ranged from $8,000 to $100,000, with an average loan size of approximately $52,000.

The table below includes information related to the status of total amount of Loans Groundfloor GA has issued under the Georgia Notes program (by letter grade) as of September 21, 2017 (utilizing the same characterizations as outlined above).

Status of Loan Collection and Servicing under Georgia Notes Program

As indicated in the table above, as of September 21, 2017, of the 36 loans funded, 34 loans have been paid back in full, one loan has paid back with full principal and reduced interest, and one loan is currently outstanding. That loan went into default and has been modified and extended past the original maturity date. It is currently the subject of a title insurance claim with our title insurer, but has not gone into fundamental default. The title insurer is pursuing a court action to obtain title and/or damages on Groundfloor GA’s behalf. See “Management Discussion and Analysis—Overview—Georgia Notes Program” for additional information.

The table below reflects information about the historical workout treatment of loans covered by the Georgia Notes program (by letter grade) as of September 21, 2017 to the extent they are not written off. Groundfloor GA’s collection procedures for loans in default typically involve the pursuit of one or more remedies. For example, Groundfloor GA may extend a loan for up to six months before determining it to be in fundamental default. The table below reflects the most extreme collection status of each particular loan (i.e., the loan that had been placed into fundamental default at the reporting date would not also be reflected as having been extended). See our discussion above as well as “Description of the Company’s Business—Project Funding and Payment of Expected Yield —Servicing and Collection of Loans” for a more detailed discussion of our characterization of loans subject to workout.

Other than the defaults referenced above, Groundfloor GA is not aware of any adverse business developments that have occurred in the course of its operations.

Funding Loan Advances

To date, the Company has entered into two financial arrangements designed to facilitate Loan advances.

In November 2016, the Company entered into the Revolver credit facility to fund Loan advances (as defined below). The terms of the credit facility are as follows: Interest accrues at the greater of 10.0% per annum or the weighted average annual interest rate of the Loans then held by Holdings (as defined below) which have been originated with proceeds from the credit facility. The revolving credit facility was originally limited to $1,500,000 with an option to increase the limit to $15,000,000 (under certain circumstances). The term of the credit facility is one year, and is extendable for up to two additional years. The Company has given a corporate guaranty to Revolver as additional support for the credit facility. Revolver will also have a lien on the general assets of Holdings—which is made up exclusively of Loans that Holdings has originated. However, only Holdings, and its successors and assigns, are identified as a secured party in any documentation used to secure the advanced Loans. At no point will Holdings hold a (or provide Revolver a securities interest in) any Loan for which LROs have been issued.

When Holdings is not able to draw sufficient funds from this credit facility fast enough, the Company may elect to provide Holdings with a short term, non-interest bearing, full recourse loan using its operational capital to fund advances.

On January 11, 2017, Groundfloor Finance entered into the ISB Note (as defined below) for a principal sum of $1,000,000, which was increased to $2,000,000 on June 15, 2017, for the purpose of using the proceeds for its loan advance program, but may use the proceeds for other purposes in its sole discretion.

Financial Position and Operating History

In connection with their audit for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our losses and cash outflows from operations. To strengthen our financial position, we have continued to raise additional funds through convertible debt and equity offerings.

We have a limited operating history and have incurred a net loss since our inception. Our net loss was $3,736,869 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $1,963,112 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. To date, we have earned limited revenues from origination and servicing fees charged to borrowers in connection with the loans made by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Groundfloor GA corresponding to the LROs and Georgia Notes. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from our convertible debt and preferred stock issuances, which are described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Over time, we expect that the number of borrowers and lenders, and the volume of loans originated through our Platform, will increase and generate increased revenue from borrower origination and servicing fees.

The proceeds from the sale of LROs described in this Offering Circular will not be used to directly finance our operations. We will use the proceeds from sales of LROs exclusively to originate the Loans that correspond to the corresponding series of LROs sold to investors. However, we collect origination and servicing fees on Loans we are able to make to Developers, which we recognize as revenue. The more Loans we are able to fund through the proceeds of our offerings, the more fee revenue we will make. With increased fee revenue, our financial condition will improve. However, we do not anticipate this increased fee revenue to be able to support our operations through the next twelve months.

Our operating plan calls for a continuation of the current strategy of raising equity and, in limited circumstances, debt financing to finance our operations until we reach profitability and become cash-flow positive, which we do not expect to occur before 2018. Our operating plan calls for significant investments in website development, security, investor sourcing, loan processing and marketing, and for several rounds of equity financing before we reach profitability. We completed our Series A Financing in December 2015, through which we raised an aggregate of approximately $5,000,000 (including the cancellation of the 2015 Bridge Notes (as defined below)), and we have raised an aggregate of $825,000 as of September 21, 2017 through our 2017 Note Financing, in order to fund operations over the next six months. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Material Weakness in Internal Controls

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

We utilize an external firm to prepare our financial statements and disclosures. The consolidated financial statements are prepared by a contract controller and reviewed by a contract chief financial officer. During the audit of our financial results for 2014, our independent auditors determined that the financial reporting controls over the presentation of our cash flow statement did not operate effectively, resulting in a material adjustment to the presentation of cash flows from operating and financing activities. In the past, we have utilized manual checks to pay certain bills and entered these checks into the accounting system at a later date. In addition, we utilized different check stock for disbursements such that there was not a consistent check sequence maintained for check disbursements. Our independent auditors recommended that our management improve its controls over check disbursements to utilize one check stock for each bank account and to issue checks in sequential order. In addition, our independent auditors recommended that checks should be recorded in the accounting system once issued in a timely manner. Our management adopted internal policies to implement our independent auditors’ recommendations. See “Risk Factors—Our independent auditors previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Such weaknesses, if not remedied, could have a significant adverse effect on our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely in the future.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

Software and Website Development Costs

Internal use software and website development costs are capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Internal use software and website development costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the project’s estimated useful life, generally three years. Capitalized internal use software development costs consist of fees paid to third-party consultants who are directly involved in development efforts. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities, including training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements that are considered to be probable to result in additional functionality are capitalized. Development costs of our website incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation using the fair value method of accounting which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date). The expense associated with share-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award.

Provision for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $443,188 and $46,764, respectively. We began principal operations in early March of 2014. Groundfloor GA facilitated 14 and 22 developer loans in Georgia during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the Company facilitated 148 and 23 developer loans as part of its multistate operations during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenue was earned from origination and servicing fees related to these loans. These fees are determined by the term and credit risk of the developer loan and, as of December 31, 2016, ranged from 4% to 6% of the issued principal balances. The fees are deducted from the loan proceeds at the time of issuance. We expect net revenue to increase as our loan application and processing volume increases.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $409,883 and $40,380, respectively. The increase in gross profit was due to $396,424 in additional net revenue, offset by an increase in cost of revenue of $26,921. Cost of revenue consists primarily of payment processing and vendor costs associated with facilitating and servicing loans. We expect gross profit to increase as our loan application and processing volume increases.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation expenses, professional fees, consulting fees and depreciation and amortization expenses. General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $1,260,749 and $548,232, respectively, an increase of $712,517 or 130.0%. The increase was primarily due to compensation expenses related to the additional employees added throughout the year, increased accounting and auditing professional fees and increased consulting fees. We expect that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase due to the planned investment in business infrastructure required to support our growth.

Sales and Customer Support

Sales and customer support expense consists primarily of employee compensation expenses. Sales and customer support expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $891,852 and $188,742, respectively, an increase of $703,110 or 372.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, travel and consulting expenses. We expect that sales and customer support expenses will continue to increase due to the planned investment in developer acquisition and customer support required to support our growth.

Development Expense

Development expense consists primarily of employee compensation expenses and the cost of subcontractors who work on the development and maintenance of our website and lending platform. Development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $724,658 and $204,969, respectively, an increase of $519,689 or 253.5%. The increase was primarily due to equal increases in compensation and subcontractor expenses. We expect that development expenses will continue to increase due to the planned investments in our website and lending platform required to support our technology infrastructure as we grow.

Regulatory Expense

Regulatory expense consists primarily of legal fees and compensation expenses required to maintain Commission and other regulatory compliance. Regulatory expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $447,306 and $485,503, respectively, a decrease of $38,197 or 7.9%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees. We expect that regulatory expenses will increase due to the additional expenses related to qualifying our offerings with the Commission, including the increased cost of compliance resulting from increased state regulatory filings required to expand on our national footprint.

Marketing and Promotions Expense

Marketing and promotions expense consists primarily of consulting expense, compensation expenses as well as promotional and advertising expenses. Marketing and promotions expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $814,937 and $560,054, respectively, an increase of $254,883 or 45.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, consulting, advertising and promotional expenses. We expect that marketing and promotions expenses will continue to increase due to the planned investment in investor and developer acquisition activities required to support our growth.

Net Loss

Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $3,736,869 and $1,948,415, respectively, a net loss increase of $1,788,454 or 91.8%. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses, legal fees, consulting and subcontractor costs as well as promotional expenses. Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $4,146,752 and $1,988,795, respectively, an increase of $2,157,957 or 108.5%. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs as we added more staff to support business growth, increased consulting expense related to marketing operations, increased professional services fees, increased promotional expenses and increased software development expenses which were offset by a decrease in regulatory expenses.

Net Revenue

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $804,936 and $106,578, respectively. The Company facilitated 309 and 119 developer loans during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Revenue was earned from origination and servicing fees related to these loans. These fees are determined by the term and credit risk of the developer loan and, as of June 30, 2017, ranged from 4% to 6% of the issued principal balances. The fees are deducted from the loan proceeds at the time of issuance. We expect net revenue to increase as our loan application and processing volume increases. Additionally, we incurred net interest income as loans were warehoused on the Revolver.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $687,349 and $96,653, respectively. The increase in gross profit was due to $436,192 in additional non-interest revenue and $262,116 in additional net interest income, offset by an increase in cost of revenue of $107,662. Cost of revenue consists primarily of payment processing and vendor costs associated with facilitating and servicing loans. We expect gross profit to increase as our loan application and processing volume increases.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation expenses, professional fees, consulting fees and depreciation and amortization expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $464,089 and $718,373, respectively, a decrease of $254,284 or 54.8%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in consulting fees, corporate legal fees, accounting and auditing professional fees, recruiting fees and relocation fees during the period. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in the long run due to the planned investment in business infrastructure required to support our growth. In September 2017, we implemented a broad based salary reduction program in order to reduce our short-term expenses to manage upcoming liquidity needs of the Company.

Sales and Customer Support

Sales and customer support expense consists primarily of employee compensation expenses. Sales and customer support expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $666,163 and $347,488, respectively, an increase of $318,675 or 47.8%.

We expect that development expenses will increase due to the planned investments in our website and lending platform required to support our technology infrastructure as we grow.

Regulatory Expense

Regulatory expense consists primarily of legal fees and compensation expenses required to maintain Commission and other regulatory compliance. Regulatory expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $257,738 and $265,881, respectively, a decrease of $8,143 or 3.2%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees. We expect that regulatory expenses will increase due to the additional expenses related to qualifying our offerings with the Commission, including our intended transition to Tier 2 under Regulation A, which will require compliance with ongoing reporting requirements with the Commission and certain filing fees with applicable state regulatory authorities.

Marketing and Promotions Expense

Marketing and promotions expense consists primarily of consulting expense, compensation expenses as well as promotional and advertising expenses. Marketing and promotions expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $669,464 and $442,648, respectively, an increase of $226,816 or 33.9%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, consulting, advertising and promotional expenses. We expect that marketing and promotions expenses will continue to increase due to the planned investment in investor and developer acquisition activities required to support our growth.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $302,180 and $0, respectively, an increase of $302,180. The company incurred $226,610 in interest expense warehousing loans on the Revolver and incurred $40,986 in interest expense on the ISB Note.

The increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs as we added more staff to support business growth, increased consulting expense related to marketing operations, increased professional services fees, increased promotional expenses and increased software development expenses, which were offset by a decrease in corporate legal fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The financial statements included in this Offering Circular have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern; however, the conditions discussed below raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We incurred a net loss during the period ended June 30, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and have an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2017 of $9,404,137. Since our inception, we have financed our operations through debt and equity financing from various sources. We are dependent upon raising additional capital or seeking additional equity financing to fund our current operating plans for the foreseeable future. Failure to obtain sufficient equity financing and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations and positive cash flows from operations could adversely affect our ability to achieve its business objectives and continue as a going concern. Further, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which the required financing and capital might be available.

Pursuant to the Series Seed Purchase Agreement, the Company sold each share of Series Seed Preferred Stock for $5.205 per share. In connection with the Series Seed Financing, we also entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement with the Series Seed Investors and certain holders of our common stock, which was subsequently amended and restated in connection with the Series A Financing. The shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock were offered and sold pursuant to the federal exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Series Seed Financing terminated following the final Series Seed Subsequent Closing and Groundfloor Finance does not intend to sell any additional shares of Series Seek Preferred Stock.

During November 2015, we entered into promissory notes with investors for total proceeds of $250,000 (the “2015 Bridge Notes”). The notes incur interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest was due and payable on the earlier of May 5, 2016 or the closing of an equity financing with gross proceeds of at least $4,250,000.

On November 2, 2016, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Groundfloor Holdings GA LLC (“Holdings”), as borrower, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with Revolver Capital, LLC. The credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for revolving loans up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Revolving Credit Commitments”). The Revolver will be used for bridge funding of underlying loans pending approval from the Commission. The Revolver will mature on October 31, 2017 unless the lender agrees to extend the maturity of its loans under the Revolver.

On November 14, 2016, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000. On November 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder from $2,500,000 to $3,500,000. On January 30, 2017, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder from $3,500,000 to $4,500,000. The other terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $726,391 of available borrowings and $2,773,609 outstanding under the Revolver as presented within “Revolving credit facility” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company reflected $36,250 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolver as a reduction to the “Revolving credit facility” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $1,136,981 of available borrowings and $3,363,019 outstanding under the Revolver as presented within “Revolving credit facility” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2017, the Company reflected $20,833 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolver as a reduction to the “Revolving credit facility” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On January 11, 2017, we entered into a promissory note and security agreement (the “ISB Note”) in favor of ISB Development Corp., an affiliate of Mr. Kouzmine (“ISB”), for a principal sum of $1,000,000. We entered into the ISB Note for the purpose of using the proceeds for the loan advance program, but may use the proceeds for other purposes in our sole discretion. We paid to ISB an origination fee of $10,000 concurrently with the funding by ISB of the principal of the ISB Note. The ISB Note incurs interest at the rate of 8% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. We subsequently entered into an amendment to the ISB Note extending the repayment schedule in return for a $5,000 amendment fee. On June 15, 2017, we entered into a Second Amendment to the promissory note and security agreement. The amendment increased the principal sum to $2,000,000. The ISB Note, as amended, must be repaid as follows: (i) $250,000, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, was due and payable on June 30, 2017, (ii) $250,000, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is due and payable on September 30, 2017, and (iii) any remaining outstanding principal amount, plus any remaining accrued but unpaid interest, is due and payable on December 31, 2017. We intend to negotiate a further extension of the payment due September 30, 2017, however no assurances can be given that such an extension will be agreed to by ISB on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. As of the date hereof, the principal sum of $1,750,000 remains outstanding.

The ISB Note is subject to customary event of default provisions. As collateral security for the ISB Note, the Company granted to ISB a first priority security interest in all of its assets, subject to certain exceptions. Among other things, the security interest specifically excludes (i) any assets serving as collateral for the Company’s credit facility with Revolver; (ii) any Loans for which a series of LROs has been issued, regardless of whether such Loans and corresponding series of LROs have been originated and issued by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, including GRE 1; and (iii) the equity interest in any subsidiary formed by the Company for the sole purpose of issuing Loans and corresponding series of LROs such as GRE 1.

From March 2017 to May 2017, we issued subordinated convertible notes (the “Subordinated Convertible Notes”) to investors for total proceeds of $825,000 (the “2017 Note Financing”). The Company anticipates issuing additional Subordinated Convertible Notes in one or more subsequent closings. The notes incur interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable on the earlier of September 27, 2018 or the consummation of a sale of the Company by consolidation, merger, change of majority ownership, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). In the event of a closing of a financing with gross proceeds of at least $8,000,000 (“Qualified Financing”) prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest would become automatically converted into shares of our stock issued in the financing at a price per share equal to 75% of the price per share of the financing. The indebtedness represented by the Subordinated Notes is subordinated in all respects to the principal of (and premium, if any), unpaid interest on and amounts reimbursable, fees, expenses, costs of enforcement, and other amounts due in connection with the Revolver and ISB Note.

We have incurred losses since our inception, and we expect we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We require cash to meet our operating expenses and for capital expenditures. To date, we have funded our cash requirements with proceeds from our convertible note and preferred stock issuances. We anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial net losses as we grow our Platform. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Additional equity or debt financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Plan of Operation

Prior to September 2015, our operations were limited to issuing Georgia Notes solely in Georgia to Georgia residents pursuant to an intrastate crowdfunding exemption from registration under the Securities Act and qualification under Georgia law. On September 7, 2015, the Commission qualified our first offering statement on Form 1-A covering seven separate series of LROs corresponding to the same number of Projects in eight states and the District of Columbia. Subsequently, we have not issued, and do not intend to issue in the future, any additional Georgia Notes. Since that time, we have qualified two additional offering statements on Form 1-A. We have filed, and intend to continue to file, post-qualification amendments to this Offering Circular on a regular basis to include additional series of LROs. With this increased geographic footprint, we expect that the number of borrowers and corresponding investors, and the volume of loans originated through our Platform, will increase and generate increased revenue from borrower origination and servicing fees.

As the volume of our loans and corresponding offerings increase, we plan to continue the current strategy of raising equity and, in limited circumstances, debt financing to finance our operations until we reach profitability and become cash-flow positive, which we do not expect to occur before 2018. Future equity or debt offerings by us will be necessary to fund the significant investments in website development, security, investor sourcing, loan processing and marketing necessary to reach profitability. We expect to hire more staff to support our expected growth in operations and to invest heavily in marketing throughout the next year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities. We do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2017 and 2016

NOTE 1:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include Groundfloor Finance Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Groundfloor Properties GA LLC, Groundfloor Real Estate, LLC, and Groundfloor Real Estate 1, LLC (collectively the “Company” or “Groundfloor”).

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in this filing. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, below have the meaning set forth in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto.

Subsequent events were evaluated through September 20, 2017, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Basis of Accounting and Liquidity

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Operations since inception have consisted primarily of organizing the Company, developing the technology, and securing financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses and cash outflows from operations since its inception. The ultimate success of the Company is dependent on management’s ability to develop and market its products and services at levels sufficient to generate operating revenues in excess of expenses. Management evaluated the condition of the Company and has determined that until such sales levels can be achieved, management will need to secure additional capital to continue growing working capital and fund product development and operations.

Management intends to raise additional debt or equity financing to grow working capital and fund operations. Management believes the Company will obtain additional funding from current and new investors in order to sustain operations. However, there are no assurances that the Company can be successful in obtaining the additional capital or such financing will be on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets nor the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2:

PROMISSORY NOTES

Promissory Notes

During 2017, the company entered into a promissory note with investors for total proceeds of $2,000,000 (the “ISB Note”). The ISB Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

As of the date hereof, the principal sum of $1,750,000 remains outstanding. As of June 30, 2017, the Company reflected $35,833 of deferred financing costs related to the ISB Note as a reduction to the “Notes payable” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Convertible Notes

During 2017, the company issued subordinated convertible notes to investors for the total proceeds of $825,000. The notes incur interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable on the earlier of September 27, 2018 or the consummation of a sale of the Company by consolidation, merger, change of majority ownership, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

NOTE 3:

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 2, 2016, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Groundfloor Holdings GA LLC, as borrower, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with Revolver Capital, LLC. The credit agreement provides for revolving loans up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The Revolver will be used to bridge funding of underlying loans pending approval from the SEC. The Revolver will mature on October 31, 2017 unless the lender agrees to extend the maturity of its loans under the Revolver.

On November 14, 2016, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) which amended the existing Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2016, among Groundfloor Holdings GA LLC, as borrower, and Revolver Capital, LLC, as lender. The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000. The other terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

On November 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) which amended the existing Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2016, among Groundfloor Holdings GA LLC, as borrower, and Revolver Capital, LLC, as lender. The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder from $2,500,000 to $3,500,000. The other terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

On January 30, 2017, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) which amended the existing Credit Agreement dated November 1, 2016, among Groundfloor Holdings GA LLC, as borrower, and Revolver Capital, LLC, as lender. The Third Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder from $3,500,000 to $4,500,000. The other terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $1,172,814 of available borrowings and $3,327,186 outstanding under the Revolver as presented within “Revolving credit facility” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2017, the Company reflected $20,833 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolver as a reduction to the “Revolving credit facility” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 4:

STOCK OPTIONS

In August 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides incentives to eligible employees, officers, and directors in the form of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The Company had reserved a total of 250,000 and 125,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. Of these shares, 64,774 shares are available for future stock option grants as of December 31, 2016.

F-25

The Board of Directors has the authority to administer the Plan and determine, among other things, the interpretation of any provisions of the Plan, the eligible employees who are granted options, the number of options that may be granted, vesting schedules, and option exercise prices. The Company’s stock options have a contractual life not to exceed ten years. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 24,000 stock options and 1,336 stock options were exercised.

As of June 30, 2017, there were 40,774 options available for grant, and there was approximately $50,165 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The Company recorded $6,500 and $15,314 in non-employee and $10,137 and $7,404 in employee share-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 5:

INCOME TAXES

The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception and is forecasting additional losses through December 31, 2017. Therefore, no United States federal, state, or foreign income taxes are expected for 2017 and none have been recorded as of June 30, 2017.

Due to the Company’s history of losses since inception, there is not enough evidence at this time to support the conclusion that it will generate future income of a sufficient amount and nature to utilize the benefits of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company fully reduced its net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, since it has been determined that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions which limit the ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards in the case of certain events including significant changes in ownership interests. If the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are limited, and the Company has taxable income which exceeds the permissible yearly net operating loss carryforwards, the Company would incur a federal income tax liability even though net operating loss carryforwards would be available in future years.
