Item 1. Business

 

Overview

 

370 Markets LLC d/b/a Rares Markets is a Delaware series limited liability company formed June 29, 2020. Rares Markets has been formed to permit public investment in specific Underlying Assets, each of which (or groups of which, as the case may be) will be owned by a separate Series of the Company that we intend to establish. Each Series will hold the specific Underlying Asset that it acquires in a wholly-owned subsidiary which will be a Delaware limited liability company. The Company’s core business will be the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of individual Underlying Assets for the benefit of the Investors. Each Series is intended to own a either a single asset or a group of assets. These Underlying Assets may be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Underlying Assets” or each, individually, as an “Underlying Asset.”  

 

370 Legacy Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the Manager of the Company and the each of the Series of our Company 370 Legacy, Inc. also owns and operates a mobile app-based investment platform and website called Rares (the Rares Platform and any successor platform used by the Company for the offer and sale of Shares is known as the “Rares Platform”) through which the Shares of each of our Series are offered and sold. The Manager presently owns 100% of each of the Underlying Assets of each Series. At the final closing of each Offering. The Manager will, together with its affiliates, own at least 2% of the Shares of each Series. However, the Manager may sell some or all of the Shares acquired in such Series after the closing of a Series’ Offering.

 

Series Offerings

 

The Company offers “Shares” in each of the Series of the Company, which represent limited liability company interests in such Series of the Company. All of the Series of the Company offering hereunder may collectively be referred to herein as the “Series” and each, individually, as a “Series.” The Shares of all Series collectively be referred to herein as the “Shares,” or “our securities” and each, individually, as a “Share” and the offerings of the Shares may collectively be referred to herein as the “Offerings” and each, individually, as an “Offering.”

 

The Shares represent an investment in the various Series and thus indirectly into the Underlying assets of each Series and do not represent an investment in the Company or the Manager generally. We do not anticipate that any Series will own any assets other than the Underlying Assets described to investors in our offering materials. However, we expect that the operations of the Company, including the issuance of additional Series of Shares and the acquisition of additional assets, will benefit investors by enabling each Series to benefit from economies of scale.

 

The Company’s core competency is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of investment grade collectible sneakers for the benefit of the investors. In addition, through the use the Rares Platform, the Company aspires to offer a seamless, transparent and unassuming investment process as well as unique and enjoyable experiences that enhance the utility value of investing in passion assets. The Company, with the support of the Manager and through the use of the Rares Platform, aims to provide investors with access to collectable sneakers for investment, portfolio diversification and potential secondary market liquidity for their Shares (although there can be no guarantee that a secondary market will ever develop or that appropriate registrations to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained).

 

Our objective is to become the leading marketplace for investing in collectable sneakers and, through the Rares Platform, to provide investors with financial returns commensurate with returns in the collectible sneaker market, to enable deeper and more meaningful participation by sneaker enthusiasts in the hobby, to provide experiential and social benefits comparable to those of a world-class sneaker collector, and to manage the collection in a manner that provides exemplary care to the assets and offers potential returns for investors.

(v) any indemnification payments;

 

(vi) any and all insurance premiums or expenses incurred in connection with the Underlying Asset(s); and

Legal Proceedings

 

None of the Company, any series, the Manager, nor any director or executive officer of the Manager is presently subject to any material legal proceedings.

 

Allocations of Expenses

 

To the extent relevant, Offering Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Operating Expenses, revenue generated from Underlying Assets and any indemnification payments made by the Company will be allocated amongst the various Shares in accordance with the Manager’s allocation policy, a copy of which is available to Investors upon written request to the Manager. The allocation policy requires the Manager to allocate items that are allocable to a specific series to be borne by, or distributed to (as applicable), the applicable series of Shares. If, however, an item is not allocable to a specific series but to the Company in general, it will be allocated pro rata based on the value of Underlying Assets or the number of Shares, as reasonably determined by the Manager or as otherwise set forth in the allocation policy. By way of example, as of the date hereof it is anticipated that revenues and expenses will be allocated as follows:

Sneaker Market Assessment

 

We believe the sneaker market to be on the cusp of global expansion. Over the last 5 years, we have seen a rise in the sneaker culture, from an underground and urban phenomenon to a more mainstream and growing market. This has to do, in part, with a growth in social media and access to various methods of sourcing and acquiring rare and vintage sneakers. Alongside the growth of various methods for collecting and acquisition, we have seen new online portals to buy and trade sneakers. This shift from a primarily in-person and auction-based asset sales channel to online disposition helps to magnify the market potential. Thus, we have seen a significant rise in the volume of transactions and associated businesses within the industry.

However, despite the shift to a more mainstream market, the sneaker industry has always had a strong connection to celebrities, endorsements, athletes and cultural icons. Most people attribute the sneaker culture to the Chuck Taylor Converse era, most prominently seen in basketball in the early 1900’s. In the early 1980’s, Nike and Air Jordan dominated the sneaker industry, and started the cultural phenomenon we recognize today. As an illustrative example, original pricing of the Air Jordan on release in 1985 was $65.00 retail. According to a CNN article published in August 2020, a pair of Nikes worn by Michael Jordan broke the record for the most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction at the time, fetching $615,000. Largely, the vintage sneaker market can be classified into three current eras (not taking into account specialty, game-work or highly collectible one-of-a-kind assets): “vintage sneakers (1980’s – 1995),” “hip-hop and urban (1995 – 2014)” and “hype drops (present).” We believe there are strong and growing markets for each era of sneaker, as well as the collectible one-of-a-kind market.

 

With the growth of this market, and the popular trends associated within, we believe the market to be consistent and strong. Market demographics range from individual collectors to enthusiasts. Furthermore, we believe the collectible sneaker market to be a global industry.

 

There are risks associated with collecting sneakers: most notably, with fraudulent or counterfeit sneakers. We believe this risk can be mitigated with a strong sourcing protocol, and adequately verifying the authenticity of sneakers through its provenance, ownership history and chain of custody verification. We believe dealing with reputable collectors will mitigate this risk substantially.

 

Depreciation

 

The Company treats sneakers as collectible, and therefore will not depreciate or amortize the Series’ going forward. The Company may depreciate or amortize any materials used in the maintenance of collectible sneakers going forward.

 

Multiple Series

 

The Manager has acquired multiple assets, which will be divided into various series’ (“The Collection”) based on their relevance and respective collector value. The Manager will convey title for each asset into the various Series prior to the Offering against a note payable back to the Manager for the cost.  In each Series, the Series will hold title to the assets prior to the Offering of any Shares to investors.

 

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

 

370 Markets LLC d/b/a Rares Markets is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on June 29, 2020. We have only conducted limited operations prior to the date of this Annual Report and will not conduct any business activities except for activities relating to the Underlying Assets. We are considered to be a development stage company, since we are devoting substantially all of our efforts to establishing our business and planned principal operations have only recently commenced. We are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that will materially affect our operations or the liquidity or capital resources of the Manager.

 

Operating Results

 

Revenues

 

Revenues are generated at the Series level and are expected to be derived from the sale of each underlying asset in the associated Series. As of December 31, 2021, neither the Company nor any Series of the Company has generated any revenues. We have no definitive plans for generating revenues with any Underlying Asset.

Operating Expenses

 

The operating expenses incurred prior to the Closing of an offering related to any Underlying Asset is being paid by 370 Markets LLC. After acquiring an Underlying Asset, each Series will be responsible for its own operating expenses, such as storage, insurance or maintenance.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred $10,533 in operating expenses from our own operations, compared to $1,149 for the year ended December 31, 2020. No expenses were incurred at the Series level in either 2020 or 2021. Our operating expenses were primarily comprised of advertising & marketing expenses and payments of Management Fees to the Manager in both 2020 and 2021.

 

Net Loss

 

As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, we generated a net loss of $10,533 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,149 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

From inception, the Company has financed its business activities through capital contributions, and each Series has been supported by intercompany loans from our Manager. The loans are recorded as current liabilities and will be paid back out of the proceeds of successful offerings. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash or cash equivalents of $19,714.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $2,353,355 in total collectibles assets, comprised of the Underlying Assets held by the Series of the Company.

 

In March of 2022, the offering of Series HOVA Shares closed, which generated $24,960 in proceeds, and was the first Series offering of the Company to close to date.

 

Inter Company Loans

 

In connection with the acquisition of the Underlying Assets, our Manager has advanced funds to each of our Series in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note, which will be repaid out of the proceeds of each Series Offering. As of December 31, 2021, the Manager had loaned the Company a total of $2,192,911. The loans are non-interest bearing with no formal repayment terms or other loan terms and are considered payable on demand. The Company used these funds to acquire the Underlying Assets of each Series.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The Company plans to launch additional offerings of various Series in the next twelve months. The proceeds from any offerings closed during the next twelve months will be used to acquire additional collectible sneakers, which we anticipate will enable the Company to reduce operating expenses for each series.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

April 29, 2022

 

To:Board of Directors, 370 MARKETS, LLC
Re:2021-2020 Financial Statement Audit

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of 370 MARKETS, INC. (a series limited liability company organized in Delaware) (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in member equity, and cash flows for the calendar year period ended December 31, 2021 and the inception period from June 29, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and the related notes to such financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

F-2

 

 

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations, changes in member equity and its cash flows for the calendar year period ended December 31, 2021 and for the inception period from June 29, 2020 to December 31, 2020 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in the Notes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020

And for the calendar year period ended December 31, 2021 and the period from June 29, 2020
(inception) to December 31, 2020

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

370 Markets, LLC (the “Company”) was formed on June 29, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company was organized primarily to originate, invest in, and manage a series of entities holding collectible and iconic alternative assets. Substantially all the Company’s business will be externally managed by its manager, 370 Legacy, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), a Delaware corporation.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not allocated collectible assets to its Series LLCs nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities, initial sourcing of collectible assets and preparations to raise capital. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses, and acquire substantial assets. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Company’s planned operations or failing to operate the business profitably.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

 

The Company adopted the calendar year as its basis for reporting.

 

Use of 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 balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020

And for the calendar year period ended December 31, 2021 and the period from June 29, 2020
(inception) to December 31, 2020

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair value.

 

Collectibles

 

Collectible assets are recorded at cost. The cost includes the purchase price, including any deposits for the collectibles funded by the manager and acquisition expenses, which include all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the evaluation, discovery, investigation, development and acquisition of the collectibles incurred prior to the closing, including brokerage and sales fees and commissions, appraisal fees, research fees, transfer taxes, third-party industry and due diligence experts, auction house fees and travel and lodging for inspection purposes.

 

The Company treats the collectibles as long-lived assets and are subject to an annual test for impairment but are not depreciated or amortized. These long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

As of December 31, 2020,  the Company determined that none of its collectibles are impaired.

 

Organizational and Offering Costs

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 720, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.

370 MARKETS, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020

And for the calendar year period ended December 31, 2021 and the period from June 29, 2020
(inception) to December 31, 2020

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

Organization and offering costs of the Company are initially being paid by 370 Legacy, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) on behalf of the Company prior to the Company’s planned Regulation A offering (the “Offering”) once qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a limited liability company. Accordingly, under the Internal Revenue Code, all taxable income or loss flows through to its members. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the financial statements. Income from the Company is reported and taxed to the members on their individual tax returns.

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date.  In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company’s policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.  For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.

 

The Company may, in the future become subject to federal, state, and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception.  The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.   

 

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company is a business that has not commenced planned principal operations, plans to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its capital financing plans and has not generated any revenues since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to obtain capital financing from investors sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such capital to produce profitable operating results. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020

And for the calendar year period ended December 31, 2021 and the period from June 29, 2020
(inception) to December 31, 2020

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

NOTE 4: MEMBER’S EQUITY

 

The Company has denominated its membership interests as a single class of common units. The Company has appointed 370 Legacy, Inc. as its manager and issued to 370 Legacy, Inc. 100 common units, representing 100% ownership of the Company. The Company’s founder and CEO contributed capital for a total amount of $80,520 upon formation in 2020.

 

The debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, are solely the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, and no member of the Company is obligated personally for any such debt, obligation, or liability.

 

NOTE 5: RELATED PARTIES

 

As of December 31, 2021, 370 Legacy, Inc. had loaned the Company a total of $2,192,911. The loans are non-interest bearing with no formal repayment terms or other loan terms and are considered payable on demand. The Company used these funds to acquire collectible assets to seed into the Series before raising funds in the Series to repay the loans.

 

The Company intends to engage 370 Legacy, Inc. and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition, and disposition decisions, the sale of the Company’s common shares available for issuance, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company, including accounting services and investor relations. As a result, the Company will be dependent upon 370 Legacy, Inc., and its affiliates. If these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would have to find alternative providers of these services.

 

NOTE 6: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605—Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC.  The core principle within this ASU is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which deferred the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, while providing the option to early adopt for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  Transition methods under ASU 2014-09 must be through either (i) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) retrospective application with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of initial application.  The Company adopted this new standard effective on its inception date.

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on its financial reporting and disclosures.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying balance sheet. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

NOTE 7: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Fundraising Commencement

 

In 2022, the Company began raising funds for its Series after receiving qualification from the US Securities and Exchange Commission to issue securities exempt from registration under Regulation A. The Company plans to continue seeding collectible assets in its various Series and raising funds for each Series.

 

Management’s Evaluation

 

Management has evaluated all subsequent events through April 29, 2022, the date the financial statement was available to be issued. There are no additional material events requiring disclosure or adjustment to the financial statement.
