NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida corporation. In June 2019, the Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company; it was formerly known as Korth Direct Mortgage, LLC. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of J. W. Korth & Company, L.P. (“J. W. Korth”), an SEC and FINRA registered broker dealer. The Company was created to sell Notes secured by mortgage loans.

The Company and J. W. Korth executed a support agreement that provides financial, managerial, and office support to the Company until it is fully operational and a going concern. Pursuant to this agreement, for any moneys owed by the Company to J. W Korth, J. W. Korth may not seek reimbursement from the Company until the Company shall maintain a liquid net worth of at least $1,000,000 for a minimum period of 90 days.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying financial statements are solely for the Company. The financial statements of the parent company, J. W. Korth, have these accounts consolidated within them.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with GAAP.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

MORTGAGE VALUATION

Mortgages that are current are carried at the principal value owed by the borrower, as of the date of the financial statements, according to the amortization schedule for the loan. All mortgages owned as of the date of these financial statements are current. The net present value of the servicing revenue is recorded as mortgage servicing rights, at fair value on the Unaudited Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized on the Unaudited Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on mortgages owned.

MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES

The Company funds the mortgage loans that it makes by issuing Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs”), which are secured by those same mortgages. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has funded loans totaling $32,140,250 and it issued MSNs secured by those loans, also in the amount of $32,140,250. The deals have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, SEC registered deals, and 144A offerings.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has three primary sources of revenue: origination fees, servicing fees, and processing fees.

Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent revenue earned from originating mortgage loans, net of any credits given to the borrower. Origination fees may be on loans where KDM or another party is lender and KDM has acted as a broker in the transaction. Loan origination fees generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts and are recognized as revenue at the time the loans are funded.

 6

Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees represent revenue earned for servicing loans for various investors. Loan servicing fees are a percentage of the outstanding unpaid principal balance and represent the difference between the Corresponding Mortgage Loan (“CM Loan”) interest received and the MSN interest payable. Servicing Fees are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are received; similarly, loan servicing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Processing Fees

Processing fees are collected from the borrower at the time the commitment letter is signed and cover a variety of expenses during the underwriting process. If the Company cancels the transaction, then unused fees are refunded. If the transaction is unable to proceed for any reason not the fault of the Company, then the Company keeps the full processing fee. Revenues from processing fees are recognized at closing or at the time a transaction is canceled.

Unrealized Gain on Mortgages Owned

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, we have a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates.

ESTIMATES

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

DUE TO PARENT AND PAYABLES

Items due to parent are operating expenses due to the parent company, J. W. Korth, pursuant to the support agreement. On June 30, 2019, the Company owed J.W Korth $18,513. On May 2, 2019, and as of March 31, 2019, J. W. Korth forgave its receivable of $548,802 that was on the Company’s balance sheet as Due to Parent in order to assist the Company in strengthening its balance sheet and Stockholder’s Equity.

INCOME TAXES

The Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company in June of this year. The Company was previously a limited liability company and disregarded entitiy. Given the recency of the conversion, we are still in thr process of calculating a provision for income taxes.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 – Income Taxes, management has evaluated uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax returns. In order for a benefit to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained when challenged or examined by the applicable taxing authority. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions to be accounted for in the financial statements.

NOTE 3 - RESTRICTED CASH

The Company maintains two segregated accounts in trust for borrowers and investors. The value of these accounts is carried under the asset “Restricted Cash.”

The “In Trust for 1” account holds the monthly tax and insurance payments collected from borrowers and distributes payments annually, on behalf of borrowers, to the appropriate tax authority and insurance companies. This account corresponds to the Escrow Payable liability. As of June 30, 2019, this account has a balance of $345,330.

The “In Trust for 2” account receives payments from borrowers, distributes payments to investors, and pays the servicing fee to the Company. This account corresponds to the Due to Investors liability. As of June 30, 2019, this account has a balance of $27,860 (commitment fees/accrued interest). 

 7

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS

The Company relies partially on its parent, J. W. Korth, to provide office space, internet connectivity, phone service, and incidentals through the end of 2019. 

NOTE 5 - INDEMNIFICATIONS

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

NOTE 6 - CUSTOMERS

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has eleven customers. The Company defines customers as borrowers that have an active loan with the Company, or are in the midst of the underwriting process and have a commitment fee on deposit with the Company. Currently, 28% of loans, by unpaid balance, are geographically concentrated in the state of Ohio and 30% are concentrated in the state of New Jersey.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Due to Parent account has been forgiven as of March 31, 2019 pursuant to the agreement dated May 1, 2019 by and between J. W. Korth (parent) and the Company. The Company was previously largely supported by its parent company, J. W. Korth. The Company owed J. W. Korth $548,802 on March 30, 2019. The cancelation of this liability resulted in a one-time gain, which is included on the Unaudited Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company owed J.W. Korth $18,513 and $494,122 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Support Agreement between the Company and J. W. Korth remains in place should it be necessary.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE

GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs utilized in measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

 8

Valuation Process

Cash and cash equivalents: 

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1. 

Mortgages Owned and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable:

All of the loans on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 are carried at principal value, as are the corresponding Mortgage Secured Notes Payable. The Company has determined that the fair values were determined by the market at the time of sale and should be classified as Level II of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts for these items approximate the fair value. For amortizing loans, the Company discounts those to remaining principal value.

Due to the fact that the Company issues notes secured directly by underlying loans, our assets and liabilities in this category have identical values and assets have offsetting balances.

Mortgage Servicing

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated as an unrealized gain. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, constant prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, we have a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates, but have engaged a third party, MIAC Analytics, to assist us in our valuation of this asset. The amount is included on the Unaudited Statement of Financial Condition as “Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value.”

Ending balance at June 30, 2019	$	813,820

The Company’s policy for recording transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize as of the financial statement date. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no transfers between levels.

The Company has established valuation processes and policies for its Level 3 investments to ensure that the methods used are fair and consistent in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Company’s valuation committee performs reviews of the Level 3 investments’ valuations, which include reviewing any significant price changes reported from the prior period. When a Level 3 investment has a significant price change, the valuation committee reviews relevant market data to substantiate the price change. 

The following table presents quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs the Company uses to determine the fair value of Level 3 investments held as of June 30, 2019:

Investment type	Fair Value		Valuation technique	Unobservable inputs	Values

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

The following is a discussion of our historical consolidated financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with (i) our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2019; and (iii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2018 Form 10-K. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the statements we make in this section due to a number of factors that are discussed in “Forward-Looking Statements” herein and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Overview

Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (“KDM,” the “Company”, “we,” or “us”) was organized in Florida on July 24, 2009, under the name HCMK Consulting LLC.  On June 3, 2019 we converted under the laws of the State of Florida to a corporation. We were formerly known as Korth Direct Mortgage LLC. As a result of this conversion, James W. Korth was named Chief Executive Officer, Holly MacDonald-Korth was named President and Chief Financial Officer, and a board of directors was appointed.

Our principal executive offices are located at 2937 SW 27^th Avenue Suite 307, Miami, Florida 33133, and our telephone number is (305) 668-8485. Our website address is www.korthdirect.com.

Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. began its formal operations in October of 2016 when we engaged our Chief Lending Officer. KDM is a licensed Mortgage Lender Servicer with the State of Florida. Our NMLS License Number is 1579547. Our operating history is limited. J. W. Korth & Company, L.P. (“J.W. Korth & Company”), a FINRA and SEC registered broker-dealer founded in 1982, owns the all of our stock. We believe we will become independent from our parent company by the end of 2019.  Over this period, we believe that we will achieve adequate revenue and cash-flow through making and servicing our mortgage loans to make us self-sufficient. During this period, we expect no research and development expenses and no expenses for plant and equipment, and that office space will continue to be shared with our parent company. We anticipate renting office space and adding staff as necessary as our lending and servicing grow; these expenses would be paid for by ordinary revenues.

The total support we have received from J. W. Korth & Company through March 31, 2019, was $752,302. In November 2018, $203,500 was repaid to J.W. Korth & Company, and subsequently, as of March 31, 2019, J.W. Korth & Company forgave the remaining receivable from KDM of $548,802. For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, KDM owed J W Korth & Company $18,513, as part of inter-company receivables. The Support Agreement remains in place. 

Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 2019

The Company had net income of $1,088,952 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, largely attributed to a one-time gain from the cancelation of payable to J.W. Korth & Company of $548,802. The Company brought in $700,245 of revenue during the six-month period, 92% of which was attributable to origination revenue, and for the period we had servicing and processing revenue of $46,462 and $1,500, respectively. Servicing revenue was low because the majority of servicing rights were sold for 18 months beginning in January 2019. Costs were dominated by the mortgage broker and brokerage underwriting expense of $203,025 and $269,775, respectively, which together accounted for approximately 86% of direct costs. Current monthly servicing revenue from the one loan closed in the second quarter is $6,203. Gross profits grew to $153,305 a 1375% increase over the same period in 2018, when gross profits amounted to $10,394. Operating expenses rose as well, but at a slower pace of 27% ($211,516 for the current period vs $166,016 for the same period in 2018) as we shift more salaries and expenses to KDM that were previously being paid by J. W. Korth.

Higher expenses and costs were offset by the unrealized gain on mortgages owned, which was $598,361 at June 30, 2019, an increase of $198,836 over the prior quarter due to new lending. A discussion of the assumptions underlying the valuation can be found in Note 8 of the Notes to our Unaudited Financial Statements. We had anticipated closing an additional $10 million of lending in the second quarter but had to back away from two deals during the underwriting process.

 11

Financial Condition for the six Months Ended June 30, 2019

As of June 30, 2019, we had nine loans on our balance sheet for a total of $32,103,492 at fair value. The original loan amounts totaled $32,140,250; however, two loans are amortizing and are carried at their remaining principal balances. We have recognized an unrealized gain of $598,361, which is the change in net present value of the future servicing income we receive from the loans made to date. This value is highly subjective and includes such variables as constant prepayment rate (CPR), discount rate, and market pricing data; this value will be recalculated quarterly. The current value was provided by a third-party consulting firm and uses 15.0% for the discount rate and includes a 10.06% constant prepayment rate (“CPR”), along with other assumptions customary to the industry.

When J. W. Korth & Company forgave its receivable from the Company, it resulted in a large one-time gain as well as decline in the Due to Parent liability, resulting in a corresponding substantial increase to Stockholder’s Equity of $548,802.

We have grown our origination team to 4 members and have a goal to close an additional $75M of loans this year. We do not expect to increase support staff by a material amount until we have sufficient pipeline and servicing to warrant additional outlay.

Capital and Liquidity Needs

Although our liquidity needs are very close to being met by operations, the Company has chosen to raise capital through a private placement of preferred equity. The Company is attempting to raise $10,000,000 to close its first tranche of convertible perpetual preferred capital and has commitments for approximately 65% of that amount. We expect to close the preferred financing once the minimum of $10,000,000 has been reached. Should we attract investors for more than that amount, we may choose to increase the amount of the offering. Similarly, we may choose to close a smaller tranche if we fail to raise $10,000,000.

Status of KDM Loans

We have decided to start including our annual reviews of CM Loans as exhibits to our quarterly filings. Loans that are held by outside investors or securitized and reach the anniversary of their inception in the current quarter are included for review. Please see section 99 of the Exhibit list for the appropriate reports.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We have no instruments subject to market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, as required by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c). In making our assessment, we have utilized the criteria set forth by the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We concluded that based on our evaluation our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2019.

	KDM Estimated NOI and DSCR			Review
	2019	2018	2017	The projected Rental income for 2019 is based on the April 2019 rent roll.  The decrease in rental income is due to vacancies.  Each property is experiecing 2 unit vacancies each, which calculates an overall Vacancy rate of 20.00%.  Based on historical vacancy times, the landlord projects the vacant units will be occupied in the next 3-5 months.   Although the DSCR has decreased, the loan is performing with no late or missed payments reported by the landlord, who is confident it will lease up quickly. A letter from the original appraiser confirms his last appraisal valuation for each of the two properties

1. 2019 Rental Income is an annualized projection of the April 2019 Rent Roll.
2. The 2019 Vacancy Rate is 20.00% therefore no additioal haircut is applied.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida corporation. In June 2019, the Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company; it was formerly known as Korth Direct Mortgage, LLC. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of J. W. Korth & Company, L.P. (“J. W. Korth”), an SEC and FINRA registered broker dealer. The Company was created to sell Notes secured by mortgage loans.

The Company and J. W. Korth executed a support agreement that provides financial, managerial, and office support to the Company until it is fully operational and a going concern. Pursuant to this agreement, for any moneys owed by the Company to J. W Korth, J. W. Korth may not seek reimbursement from the Company until the Company shall maintain a liquid net worth of at least $1,000,000 for a minimum period of 90 days.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying financial statements are solely for the Company. The financial statements of the parent company, J. W. Korth, have these accounts consolidated within them.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with GAAP.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

MORTGAGE VALUATION

Mortgages that are current are carried at the principal value owed by the borrower, as of the date of the financial statements, according to the amortization schedule for the loan. All mortgages owned as of the date of these financial statements are current. The net present value of the servicing revenue is recorded as mortgage servicing rights, at fair value on the Unaudited Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized on the Unaudited Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on mortgages owned.

MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES

The Company funds the mortgage loans that it makes by issuing Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs”), which are secured by those same mortgages. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has funded loans totaling $32,140,250 and it issued MSNs secured by those loans, also in the amount of $32,140,250. The deals have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, SEC registered deals, and 144A offerings.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has three primary sources of revenue: origination fees, servicing fees, and processing fees.

Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent revenue earned from originating mortgage loans, net of any credits given to the borrower. Origination fees may be on loans where KDM or another party is lender and KDM has acted as a broker in the transaction. Loan origination fees generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts and are recognized as revenue at the time the loans are funded.

Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees represent revenue earned for servicing loans for various investors. Loan servicing fees are a percentage of the outstanding unpaid principal balance and represent the difference between the Corresponding Mortgage Loan (“CM Loan”) interest received and the MSN interest payable. Servicing Fees are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are received; similarly, loan servicing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Processing Fees

Processing fees are collected from the borrower at the time the commitment letter is signed and cover a variety of expenses during the underwriting process. If the Company cancels the transaction, then unused fees are refunded. If the transaction is unable to proceed for any reason not the fault of the Company, then the Company keeps the full processing fee. Revenues from processing fees are recognized at closing or at the time a transaction is canceled.

Unrealized Gain on Mortgages Owned

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, we have a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates.

ESTIMATES

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

DUE TO PARENT AND PAYABLES

Items due to parent are operating expenses due to the parent company, J. W. Korth, pursuant to the support agreement. On June 30, 2019, the Company owed J.W Korth $18,513. On May 2, 2019, and as of March 31, 2019, J. W. Korth forgave its receivable of $548,802 that was on the Company’s balance sheet as Due to Parent in order to assist the Company in strengthening its balance sheet and Stockholder’s Equity.

INCOME TAXES

The Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company in June of this year. The Company was previously a limited liability company and disregarded entitiy. Given the recency of the conversion, we are still in thr process of calculating a provision for income taxes.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 – Income Taxes, management has evaluated uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax returns. In order for a benefit to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained when challenged or examined by the applicable taxing authority. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions to be accounted for in the financial statements.

NOTE 5 - INDEMNIFICATIONS

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

FAIR VALUE

Fair Value

FAIR VALUE

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE

GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs utilized in measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Valuation Process

Cash and cash equivalents: 

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1. 

Mortgages Owned and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable:

All of the loans on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 are carried at principal value, as are the corresponding Mortgage Secured Notes Payable. The Company has determined that the fair values were determined by the market at the time of sale and should be classified as Level II of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts for these items approximate the fair value. For amortizing loans, the Company discounts those to remaining principal value.

Due to the fact that the Company issues notes secured directly by underlying loans, our assets and liabilities in this category have identical values and assets have offsetting balances.

Mortgage Servicing

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated as an unrealized gain. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, constant prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, we have a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates, but have engaged a third party, MIAC Analytics, to assist us in our valuation of this asset. The amount is included on the Unaudited Statement of Financial Condition as “Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value.”

The Company’s policy for recording transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize as of the financial statement date. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no transfers between levels.

The Company has established valuation processes and policies for its Level 3 investments to ensure that the methods used are fair and consistent in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Company’s valuation committee performs reviews of the Level 3 investments’ valuations, which include reviewing any significant price changes reported from the prior period. When a Level 3 investment has a significant price change, the valuation committee reviews relevant market data to substantiate the price change.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies Abstract

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying financial statements are solely for the Company. The financial statements of the parent company, J. W. Korth, have these accounts consolidated within them.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with GAAP.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents

MORTGAGE VALUATION

MORTGAGE VALUATION

Mortgages that are current are carried at the principal value owed by the borrower, as of the date of the financial statements, according to the amortization schedule for the loan. All mortgages owned as of the date of these financial statements are current. The net present value of the servicing revenue is recorded as mortgage servicing rights, at fair value on the Unaudited Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized on the Unaudited Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on mortgages owned.

MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES

MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES

The Company funds the mortgage loans that it makes by issuing Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs”), which are secured by those same mortgages. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has funded loans totaling $32,140,250 and it issued MSNs secured by those loans, also in the amount of $32,140,250. The deals have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, SEC registered deals, and 144A offerings.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has three primary sources of revenue: origination fees, servicing fees, and processing fees.

Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent revenue earned from originating mortgage loans, net of any credits given to the borrower. Origination fees may be on loans where KDM or another party is lender and KDM has acted as a broker in the transaction. Loan origination fees generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts and are recognized as revenue at the time the loans are funded.

Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees represent revenue earned for servicing loans for various investors. Loan servicing fees are a percentage of the outstanding unpaid principal balance and represent the difference between the Corresponding Mortgage Loan (“CM Loan”) interest received and the MSN interest payable. Servicing Fees are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are received; similarly, loan servicing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Processing Fees

Processing fees are collected from the borrower at the time the commitment letter is signed and cover a variety of expenses during the underwriting process. If the Company cancels the transaction, then unused fees are refunded. If the transaction is unable to proceed for any reason not the fault of the Company, then the Company keeps the full processing fee. Revenues from processing fees are recognized at closing or at the time a transaction is canceled.

UNREALIZED GAIN ON MORTGAGES OWNED

Unrealized Gain on Mortgages Owned

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, we have a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates.

ESTIMATES

ESTIMATES

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

DUE TO PARENT AND PAYABLES

DUE TO PARENT AND PAYABLES

Korth forgave its receivable of $548,802 that was on the Company’s balance sheet as Due to Parent in order to assist the Company in strengthening its balance sheet and Stockholder’s Equity.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

The Company converted to a corporation from a limited liability company in June of this year. The Company was previously a limited liability company and disregarded entitiy. Given the recency of the conversion, we are still in thr process of calculating a provision for income taxes.

In order for a benefit to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained when challenged or examined by the applicable taxing authority.
