Item 1: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this Semiannual Report on Form 1-SA. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information contained in our latest offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 30, 2024 as part of the initial offering statement. Except as otherwise required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2024. The consolidated financial statements included in this filing as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited and have not been reviewed, and may not include year end adjustments necessary to make those financial statements comparable to audited results, although in the opinion of management all necessary adjustments have been included to make interim statements of operations not misleading.

 

Business

 

Pacaso Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pacaso”, “we”, “our”, the “Company” and “us”) operates a technology enabled real estate marketplace that facilitates the seamless purchase and management of co-owned vacation homes. Through our proprietary online platform, accessible on the internet and through our mobile application, we connect prospective buyers with luxury vacation homes, streamlining the co-ownership process from acquisition to ongoing management.

 

Using both internal and external data reports and local market insights, Pacaso expertly curates listings across the nation and select international locations, showcasing only the top percentage of homes that meet Pacaso’s rigorous standards for vacation home co-ownership. We have established a set of home criteria, and we use those parameters to curate listings from The MLS through Internet Data Exchange (“IDX”) feeds that meet the baseline criteria to become a future Pacaso. Criteria are set based on a large dataset of vacation home buyer preferences. Once sufficient demand is generated for a property, Pacaso conducts an extensive due diligence process to evaluate the property thoroughly. This includes an assessment of the property location, market dynamics, regulatory compliance and physical condition. Simultaneously, the Pacaso interior design team selects and procures high-quality furnishings and decor tailored to the property’s aesthetic and functional requirements. After this rigorous process, Pacaso purchases the home and then sells co-ownership membership interests in the real estate through special purpose holding entities in the form of limited liability companies (“Holding SPE” or “SPE”) to buyers.

 

Buyers have the opportunity to purchase 1/8 to 1/2 shares of meticulously vetted turnkey properties, significantly reducing the buy-in cost compared to purchasing a whole home. Pacaso generates revenue through the sale of interests in the Holding SPE and through transaction fees charged to buyers for facilitating co-ownership transactions, as well as through interior design services, and our furniture program. These fees, calculated as a percentage of the property and interior furnishing value, contribute to the Company’s revenue upon successful completion of a transaction. Additionally, Pacaso offers services to facilitate owner financing for up to approximately 70% of the share price, with an origination fee associated based on the amount financed and the potential to earn additional interest above the prevailing market rate.

 

A Pacaso home typically remains in the Pacaso ecosystems through subsequent co-owner transactions, and Pacaso serves as a comprehensive property management company and LLC program manager. Pacaso ensures a seamless ownership journey, handling everything from routine maintenance to financial matters. Driven by our proprietary SmartStay™ technology, our user-friendly mobile app simplifies scheduling for co-owners, facilitating efficient planning and equitable access to their vacation home. Our revenue model also comprises recurring management fees for property and LLC program management and the SmartStay™ technology. Pacaso generates money from a mix of recurring revenue and transaction fees, including up-front transaction fees, ongoing management fees, and commissions on resales.

 

Additionally, Pacaso offers a flexible and efficient resale process, empowering owners to sell their shares with expert pricing guidance, robust marketing strategies, and access to a network of interested buyers. Pacaso typically collects a 6% resale fee upon successful transactions, ensuring a smooth and expedited closing process for all parties involved.

 

In addition to our core offerings, Pacaso offers a range of customizable Pacaso Services tailored for individuals interested in self-directed real estate co-ownership. These services include the sale of legal templates for LLC formation and operating agreements, suitable for both vacation home and primary residence co-ownership arrangements. As part of our commitment to enhancing the co-ownership experience, Pacaso plans to expand its service offerings in the future, providing a comprehensive suite of support services for co-owners.

Recent Developments

 

Regulation A Offerings

 

On September 30, 2024, the Company was qualified by the SEC and began offering up to 28,957,528 shares of our non-voting Class D Common Stock under Regulation A at $2.50 per share. The offering will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum offering amount have been accepted, (ii) the date which is three years from the date our Offering Statement, as amended, is initially qualified by the Commission, or (iii) any earlier date on which we elect to terminate the offering.

 

Regulation D Offerings

 

During March 2024, the Company commenced an additional tender process to raise debt funds via a SEC Regulation D offering. Through September 30, 2024 the Company has raised approximately $7.5 million of cash, which offers participants a 15% annual yield and a 24 month term. There are no conversion or other early redemption rights within the debt securities offered and sold to date, except for standard event of default provisions that may cause the principal amounts to become due and payable.

 

Key Business Metrics

 

Management has identified the following key business metrics to evaluate our performance, identify trends, develop financial projections and guide strategic decision-making. Accordingly, these key business metrics are intended to offer investors and stakeholders valuable insights into our business performance and operations. It is important to note that these key business metrics are provided for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may vary from similarly titled metrics or measures presented by other companies.

 

Total Units Transacted

 

A unit represents a ⅛ co-ownership membership interest in a property. Resales units transacted represents where the Company receives a fixed fee upon a successful resale between two third-parties. Pacaso NOW units allow customers to experience a Pacaso home through a program in which they pay an annual fee, which is reflected in real estate services on our statements of operations, with the option to convert into ownership. Units transacted represents the total number of ownership units in a property transacted by Pacaso within a specified period included in revenue and gain from real estate investments on our statements of operations, which also includes Pacaso NOW units that convert into ownership. Deferred units represent units transacted where the Company cannot yet recognize revenue or gain from real estate investments until certain performance obligations are completed. The following metric is useful to management to understand the volume of transactions completed during a given time period.

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Units transacted   65    53 
Resales transacted   61    63 
Units and resales transacted   126    116 
Pacaso NOW units transacted (1)   6    62 
Deferred units recognized   12    - 
Deferred units   (2)   (1)
Total units transacted, net of deferred units   142    177 

 

  (1) In 2023, we introduced a new product called Pacaso NOW, allowing customers to experience a Pacaso home through a program in which they paid an annual fee, with the option to convert into ownership. This fee helped offset the carrying cost of existing inventory and facilitated customer conversions, with over 50% of participants choosing to convert. While the program was successful, it is no longer offered broadly. Moving forward, we plan to use it selectively, which explains the decline in units sold during the first six months of June 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Gross real estate transacted and margin

 

We define Gross real estate transacted as the total dollar value, less any concessions, of co-ownership transacted during the period which includes co-ownership real estate sales, gain from real estate investments presented gross as well as whole home real estate sales transacted, and the applicable margin on such transactions after subtracting the cost of the underlying real estate. The table detailing the components is shown below, which is an indication of the performance of our core business offering of selling co-owned real estate and is a useful measure of the volume of transactions that flow through our platform in a given period, which ultimately impacts gross profit further discussed in segments.

 

   Six Months Ended June 30,   2023 to 2024 
(amounts in thousand)  2024   2023   $ Change   % Change 
                 
Gross real estate transacted, less whole home sales  $64,229   $42,702   $21,527    50%
Gross real estate transacted, less whole home sales margin %   13%   12%          
                     
Whole home real estate transacted  $6,750   $17,580   $(10,830)   (62)%
Whole home real estate transacted margin   4%   (7)%          
                     
Gross real estate transacted  $70,979   $60,282   $10,697    18%
Gross real estate transacted margin %   12%   6%          

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their U.S. GAAP results. These measures have limitations as analytical tools when assessing our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures. We may calculate or present our non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies who report measures with similar titles, and, as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures we report may not be comparable with those of companies in our industry or in other industries. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Excluding Impact of Whole Homes

 

We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit under GAAP adjusted for amortization of developed technology, inventory valuation adjustment in the current period, inventory valuation adjustment in prior periods and share-based compensation. Inventory valuation adjustment in the current period is calculated by adding back the inventory valuation adjustments recorded during the period on homes that remain in inventory at period end. Inventory valuation adjustment in prior periods is calculated by subtracting the inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period. Additionally, we calculate Adjusted Gross Profit Excluding Impact of Whole Homes, which is an indication of the performance of our core business offering of selling and managing co-owned real estate and is a useful measure of the volume of transactions that flow through our platform in a given period.

 

We view this metric as an important measure of business performance, as it captures gross profit performance related to units transacted in a given period and provides comparability across reporting periods.

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
(amounts in thousand)  2024   2023 
         
Gross profit (GAAP)  $12,140   $7,072 
           
Adjustments- add back (deduct):          
Amortization of developed technology (1)   1,098    1,148 
Inventory valuation adjustments- Current period (2)(3)   190    - 
Inventory valuation adjustments- Prior periods (2)(4)   (1,749)   (5,189)
Share-based compensation   20    29 
Adjusted gross profit  $11,699   $3,060 
           
Whole home gross (profit) loss   (281)   1,325 
Inventory valuation adjustments related to whole homes   1,749    5,189 
Adjusted gross profit excluding impact of whole homes  $13,167   $9,574 

 

  (1) Amortization of capitalized internally developed technology.
     
  (2) Inventory valuation adjustment includes adjustments to record real estate inventory and real estate investments at the lower of its carrying amount or its net realizable value.
     
  (3) Inventory valuation adjustments- Current period is the inventory valuation adjustment recorded during the period presented associated with homes that remain in inventory or real estate investments at period end.
     
  (4) Inventory valuation adjustments- Prior period is the inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods associated with real estate inventory or real estate investments that sold in the period presented.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, non-recurring expense, unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency, non-recurring impairment and write-offs, derivative expense and restructuring expense further described below. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted to align the timing of inventory valuation adjustments recorded under GAAP to the period in which the related revenue or net gain on real estate investment is recorded in order to improve the comparability of the measure to our non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted gross profit above. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance adjusted for non-recurring or non-cash items. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
(amounts in thousand)  2024   2023 
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss:          
Net loss (GAAP)  $(13,792)  $(18,922)
           
Interest expense- net   1,133    2,803 
Income tax expense   73    63 
Depreciation and amortization   1,451    1,296 
Share-based compensation   632    906 
Non-recurring expense (1)   907    408 
Inventory valuation adjustments- Current period (2)(3)   190    - 
Inventory valuation adjustments- Prior periods (2)(4)   (1,749)   (5,189)
Unrealized foreign currency loss   804    840 
Impairment and write-off expense   2    - 
Derivative expense (5)   -    166 
Restructuring expense (6)   -    703 
Adjusted EBITDA  $(10,349)  $(16,926)

 

  (1) The six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily consisted of one-time expenses related to the write-off of receivables from SPE’s and one-time costs the Company agreed to pay on behalf of certain SPE’s which are included in holding costs. The six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consists of legal settlements and fees related to the early termination of a certificate of deposit.
     
   (2) Inventory valuation adjustment includes adjustments to record real estate inventory and real estate investments at the lower of its carrying amount or its net realizable value.
     
  (3) Inventory valuation adjustments- Current period is the inventory valuation adjustment recorded during the period presented associated with homes that remain in inventory or real estate investments at period end.
     
  (4) Inventory valuation adjustments- Prior period is the inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods associated with real estate inventory or real estate investments that sold in the period presented.
     
  (5) Expense related to EUR to USD currency derivatives treated as freestanding derivatives that matured in May 2023.
     
  (6) Restructuring costs consist primarily of severance and employee terminations benefits related to strategic restructuring plans to streamline operations and reduce overhead cost.

Components of Real Estate Investments, net, and Real Estate Inventory, net and debt

 

Components of real estate investments, net and real estate inventory, net is an important metric so that management has an understanding of the total gross asset value combined, excluding the impact of associated debt, as real estate investments, net is presented net of holding SPE lines of credit on the Balance Sheet. Holding SPE lines of credit represents lending arrangements and lines of credit obtained from third-party lenders. The company compares the total asset level debt versus the total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets to manage leverage across the portfolio.

 

   June 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Real Estate Investments, Net:          
Real estate investment assets  $44,465   $39,968 
Holding SPE lines of credit liabilities   24,728    24,463 
Real estate investments, net   19,737    15,505 
           
Real estate inventory   24,940    45,245 
Real estate investment assets   44,465    39,968 
Total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets excluding holding SPE lines of credit  $69,405   $85,213 
           
Debt:          
Holding SPE lines of credit  $41,383   $57,590 
Acquisition financing line of credit   2,817    12,057 
Total asset level debt   44,200    69,647 
Total asset level debt as a % of total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets excluding holding SPE lines of credit (1)   64%   82%
Other holding SPE lines of credit (2)   3,525    - 
Regulation D offerings   15,025    7,855 
Holding SPE lines of credit netted in Real Estate Investments   (24,728)   (24,463)
Total debt (GAAP)  $38,022   $53,039 

 

  (1) The total asset level debt as a % of total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets excluding holding SPE lines of credit decrease was primarily related to acquisition financing line of credit which was paid down throughout the six months ending June 30, 2024 due to its maturity in July 2024.
     
  (2)

Other holding SPE lines of credit is debt where no real estate inventory or real estate investment is held, thus it is excluded from the asset level debt above.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

Consolidation and Real Estate Investment Accounting — Co-ownership

 

Until Holding SPEs are deconsolidated, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes all assets and liabilities of those Holding SPEs. For additional information on consolidation and real estate investments accounting, refer to Note 2 and Note 3 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Any amounts received from Members associated with consolidated Holding SPEs are reflected as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Upon deconsolidation of each Holding SPE, the Company accounts for the remaining membership interests held as equity method investments, which are recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as real estate investments, net. The equity method investments represent the Company’s non-controlling equity investment in the unconsolidated Holding SPEs. The real estate value and associated debt obligations associated with these remaining membership interests are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance on a net basis.

 

All operating costs of consolidated Holding SPEs are shared between the Company and the Members based on a pro-rata ownership interest.

 

Real estate sales, net

 

We generate real estate sales revenue from the initial sale of partial membership interests in single family real estate upon deconsolidation of the Holding SPE and the revenue is recorded net of any discounts, or concessions, that may be granted. In addition, real estate sales revenue includes sales of whole homes.

 

7
 

 

Gain on real estate investment sales

 

All membership interests sold after deconsolidation are treated as sales of equity method investments and recognized as net gains on the sale of real estate investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These net gains are also recorded net of any discounts, or concessions, that may be granted.

 

Real estate services

 

Real estate services revenue principally consists of ownership fees related to services the Company provides to Holding SPEs following the sale of membership interests, including fees related to Members who finance, fees earned for resales between two third parties and recurring management fees for property and LLC program management and the SmartStay™ technology. Real Estate services also includes fees related to a program called Pacaso NOW where a one-year agreement is signed and the member of a Holding SPE can trial the home for one year and then put the membership back to the Company or proceed with a full purchase of the membership interest.

 

Cost of real estate and real estate services

 

The Company recognizes a proportionate reduction of real estate inventory as a cost of real estate. Our cost of real estate consists of the proportionate consideration paid to purchase and furnish the property and related acquisition costs. These costs are accumulated in real estate inventory during the holding period and charged to cost of revenue on a proportionate basis when revenue recognition occurs on a specific identification method.

 

Additionally, cost of real estate services consists of personnel-related expenses for personnel directly involved with property management and maintenance services performed by the Company, as well as reimbursable revenue costs which are typically passed through at zero margin.

 

Sales and marketing

 

Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, commissions paid to third-party real estate brokers and expenses related to sales and marketing.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative costs primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, for executive management and administrative functions including finance, human resources and legal. General and administrative costs also include certain professional service fees.

 

Operations

 

Operations costs primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, and logistic expenses in association with operating the Holding SPEs.

 

Holding costs

 

Holding costs include equity method earnings and losses from real estate investments, net, which effectively represent carrying costs related to Holding SPEs that are not yet fully subscribed for the Company’s pro-rata share of operating and capital cost.

 

Technology and development

 

Technology and development costs primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, associated with building and operating the Company’s technology that is not capitalizable, as well as information technology costs.

 

Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, property and equipment consisted of computer and computer related equipment with an estimated useful life of 3 years.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense consists primarily of expenses related to Holding SPE lines of credit, acquisition financing interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on those lines of credit.

 

8
 

 

Income tax expense

 

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. Foreign jurisdictions have different statutory tax rates than those in the United States. Additionally, certain of our foreign earnings may also be taxable in the United States.

 

We have a valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets, including federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain these valuation allowances until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized by way of expected future taxable income in the United States. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense if incurred.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by $25.8 million, or 53%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the type of unit sales. In 2024, Resales and Other units transacted represented 47% of the total units transacted, net of deferred units, compared to 71% in 2023. Resales and other units produce lower overall revenue compared to co-ownership units transacted. Co-ownership units recognized in 2024 were 77 including 12 previously deferred units recognized compared to 53 units in 2023.

 

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

 

Cost of revenue increased by $20.7 million, or 50% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the type of unit sales, as discussed above. Gross profit increased by $5.1 million, or 72% in 2024 compared to 2023.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and Marketing expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily driven by an increase in brand media spend of $1.0 million in 2024 compared to $0.3 million in 2023. During mid-year 2022, we implemented a number of cost reduction initiatives to reduce cash burn, which continued throughout 2023 and included reducing marketing brand spend and opting for a more targeted approach to marketing our product, and reducing employee headcount.

 

9
 

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. General and administrative expenses were relatively consistent when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2024 to the same period in 2023.

 

Technology and Development

 

Technology and development expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. The decrease in technology and development expenses was primarily attributable to cost reduction initiatives, primarily headcount reduction which decreased wages, taxes and benefits by $0.4 million to $1.4 million in 2024 from $1.8 million in 2023.

 

Operations

 

Operations expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. The increase in operations expenses was primarily related to personnel-related expenses which increased by $0.2 million to $1.9 million in 2024 compared to $1.7 million in 2023.

 

Holding Costs

 

Holding costs increased by $938, or 83% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily related to the write-off of receivables from SPE’s of $907 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Depreciation Expense

 

Depreciation expense decreased by $14 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023 due to an increasing number of fully depreciated assets.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower real estate inventory and real estate investments held during 2024 resulting in lower debt balances, primarily on the acquisition line of credit which had an average outstanding balance during 2024 of $6.0 million versus $25.4 million during 2023.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income increased by $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. The increase in interest income was driven by higher yields on cash and cash equivalents, as well as our active management of the loan portfolio. In certain cases, we earned a spread on the interest rates charged to customers.

 

Other Income and (Expense)

 

Other income and (expense) decreased by $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023. The six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consists of legal settlements and fees related to the early termination of a certificate of deposit.

 

SEGMENT OVERVIEW

 

We evaluate segment performance based upon segment gross profit which represents the total revenue less cost of revenue attributable to that segment. We exclude reimbursable revenue and reimbursable cost of revenue because it is a pass through of costs at no margin as well as amortization of developed technology which is not allocated between segments and is consistent with how our CODM evaluates the Company. Refer to the reconciliation of our segments to GAAP revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit table presented below.

 

Co-ownership Real Estate and Financing

 

Our primary business offering includes the marketing and selling of co-ownership membership interests in fully designed and furnished real estate through Holding SPE’s, provides services to facilitate owner financing in connection with the sale and facilitates resales between consumers. This segment also includes gains from the sale of real estate investments, the sale of whole homes and Pacaso NOW fees.

 

Property Operations

 

The Company enters into management agreements with all of the Holding SPE’s to provide day-to-day property management services, maintenance and preparation of books and financial records. These services also include access to our proprietary mobile app for scheduling and subsequent replacement of furnishings. Other services in the property operation segment primarily consist of services related to alarm monitoring and smart locks as well as fees paid for early access to new listings.

Co-Ownership Real Estate and Financing Sales

 

Co-ownership real estate and financing sales segment revenue increased by $22.3 million, or 71% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023 due to the type of units sold, primarily due to the increase of co-ownership unit sales. We sold 77 co-ownership units in the six months ended June 30, 2024 including 12 previously deferred units, compared to 53 in 2023, representing an increase of 45%. In 2024, Resales and Other units transacted represented 47% of the total units transacted, net of deferred units, compared to 71% in 2023. Resales and Other Units yield a lower dollar value per unit compared to our core business offering of selling co-ownership units.

 

Co-Ownership Real Estate and Financing Cost Of Sales and Gross Profit

 

Co-ownership real estate and financing segment cost of sales increased by $18.7 million, or 79% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the mix of unit sales, as discussed above. Segment gross profit increased to $11.0 million in 2024 compared to $7.5 million in 2023, representing an increase of 47%. Gross profit was impacted in 2023 due to whole home sales which were sold at a gross profit loss of $1.3 million versus the whole home sales in 2024 which were sold at a positive gross profit of $0.3 million.

Property Operations Sales

 

Property operations segment revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 52% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the increase in the number of units under management from 1,088 units in 2023 to 1,184 units in 2024.

 

Property Operations Cost Of Sales and Gross Profit

 

Property operations segment cost of sales decreased by $0.2 million, or 15% for the six months June 30, 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due strategic operational changes to create efficiencies in internalizing property management and due to the continued increase in units under management without having to add additional personnel creating better economies of scale. Gross profit increased from $0.7 million to $2.2 million and gross margin increased from 30.5% to 61.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin is attributable to better utilization of personnel and related costs while increasing corresponding revenues and overall units under management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our main sources of liquidity have historically consisted of cash generated from financing activities including equity and debt fundraising activities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $35.8 million and $39.6 million, respectively, which consisted of cash on hand at financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

 

The Company’s debt consists of Holding SPE lines of credit with multiple third-party financial institutions, Regulation D proceeds and a separate acquisition financing line of credit with a third-party lender to facilitate home purchases in certain circumstances. See full description of the Company’s financing arrangements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in Note 7 - Financing Arrangements in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that its revenues and current cash will be sufficient to continue to fund its operations beyond the next 12 months. The Company is raising capital through its Regulation A offering and is not dependent on the Regulation A proceeds to operate for the next 12 months.

 

We expect our working capital requirements to increase over time in order to expand and execute on our business plan. We believe that our cash on hand, together with our operations and funds raised through its Regulation A offering will be sufficient to meet short-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We currently have no commitments with any person for any capital expenditures, with the exception of immaterial purchases of property and equipment necessary for employees. However, our ability to fund our working capital requirements will depend in part on the real estate market conditions in which we operate and in various other general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, geopolitical and other conditions which may be beyond our control. Depending on these and other factors, we may seek additional financing.

 

The Company has agreed with certain Holding SPE lenders to guarantee repayment of any of the Holding SPEs debt related obligations in the event a Holding SPE, and its underlying third-party Members, are unable to fulfill its obligations to lenders. The fair value of such guarantees is immaterial.

 

Historically our financing activities primarily include equity and debt financing activities as well as borrowings and repayments of Holding SPE lines of credit and utilization of our acquisition financing line of credit. Buying and selling of high-valued assets such as single family homes is cash intensive and has a significant impact on our liquidity and capital resources, which are further discussed below in the summarized cash flow information.

 

Summarized Cash Flow Information

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
(amounts in thousand)  2024   2023 
Cash Flow Data:          
Net cash used in operating activities  $(3,525)  $(16,324)
Net cash used in investing activities   (1,167)   (947)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities   950    (18,186)

 

Cash Flows Used In Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.5 million and $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was impacted by our net loss of $13.8 million offset by cash provided by the decrease in total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets excluding holding SPE lines of credit of $15.8 million as well as changes in overall working capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was impacted by our net loss of $18.9 million partially offset by cash provided by the decrease in total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets excluding holding SPE lines of credit of $18.2 million as well as changes in overall working capital. The decrease in total real estate inventory and real estate investment assets excluding holding SPE lines of credit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by whole home sales of $17.6 million which were sold at a negative gross profit of $1.3 million, which was impacted by the impairments recognized in 2022 of $5.2 million.

 

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily attributable to capitalized labor related to technology development.

Cash Flows Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $0.9 million and $(18.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to $31.5 million of debt repayment which excludes $16.9 million of non-cash assignment of debt to Holding SPE’s, offset by $32.7 million proceeds of debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to $50.5 million of debt repayment which excludes $15.9 million of non-cash assignment of debt to Holding SPE’s, partially offset by $24.5 million proceeds of debt.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Investment and Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to interest rate risk related primarily to our investment portfolio and outstanding debt. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on our total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and the fair value of those securities, as well as interest paid on our debt.

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $35.8 million as of June 30, 2024, which consisted of cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements without significantly increasing risk. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. Assuming no change in the outstanding borrowings on our credit facilities as of June 30, 2024, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in the applicable interest rates would have increased our annual interest expense by approximately $0.6 million.

 

Inflation Risk

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability to do so could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Foreign currency Exchange Risk

 

We do not believe that foreign currency exchange risk has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. As we do not maintain a significant balance of foreign currency, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

PACASO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

  1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS

 

Pacaso Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pacaso” or the “Company”) was incorporated in January 2020. The Company facilitates buying, owning, and selling of co-ownership interests in second homes. The Company offers integrated financing, upscale interior design, professional property management, and proprietary technology to make scheduling stays simple. After purchase, the Company manages the home on an ongoing basis and supports the resale process in partnership with licensed real estate professionals. The Company has operations within the United States, Europe, and Mexico.

 

The Company conducts its primary business of acquiring and selling co-ownership interests in single family homes in destination communities through establishment of special purpose holding entities, in the form of limited liability companies (“Holding SPEs”). The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, is the “Non-member Manager” of the Holding SPEs or the owner representative responsible for appointing the program manager. Pacaso is further appointed as the initial “Program Manager” for the management, maintenance, and operation of the homes. The Company sells co-ownership interests in the Holding SPEs to third-party owners (“Members”). Each Holding SPE holds one asset, typically a single-family residential home, and the Company structures the Holding SPE to have up to eight interests that can be sold individually. Generally, Members may own one-eighth and up to four-eighths of an individual Holding SPE.

 

The Company is responsible for forming and establishing each Holding SPE, at which time it typically is the sole economic owner, or membership interest holder, of the Holding SPE and its Non-member Manager. The Holding SPE will contract with a selling real estate holder to acquire a specific property, while also arranging for debt financing to be drawn upon by the Holding SPE or the Company to pay for the balance of funds due to purchase the property at transaction closing. The Company’s initial economic interest placed in a specific property prior to closing is dependent upon the number of Members identified by the time of home closing. The Holding SPE debt is collateralized by the underlying property deed for each property. The Company has agreed with Holding SPE lenders to guarantee repayment of any of the Holding SPEs debt related obligations in the event a Holding SPE, and its underlying third-party Members, are unable to fulfill its obligations to lenders.

 

As the Company sells membership interests, new third-party Members either pay cash in full for their interests or may choose to finance up to 70% of their purchase price directly with the Holding SPE or the Company. The Company sells Holding SPE membership interests based on a fractional allocation of the price to acquire the property and certain costs to procure furnishings for the homes plus a markup paid to the Company for its role in facilitating the structure and property acquisition.

 

As a property is acquired, the Holding SPE enters into an agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Program Manager, to manage the ongoing operations of the Holding SPE through providing various services, inclusive of Holding SPE management services, administrative services, technology services (such as providing for the use of the Company’s proprietary booking and stays technology), property management services, and financial services. As the Holding SPE sells membership interests, each new third-party Member signs the Holding SPE operating agreement. The Company receives a fixed monthly fee from each of the Members for providing services to the Holding SPE. All actual operating costs and capital expenditures of the Holding SPE are passed on directly to Holding SPE Members for payment. If a property has closed, but is not yet fully subscribed, the Company is responsible for making its share of operating and capital cost payments based on its pro-rata level of retained Holding SPE ownership interest during the period. This can be inclusive of any debt service costs, as well as property maintenance costs. These costs represent the Company’s equity earnings or losses associated with its equity method investments and such costs are recorded within holding costs and interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The amount included in holding costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2,064 and $1,126, respectively.

 

Members can remarket their Holding SPE membership interests at a price of their determination, without influence from other third-party owners or the Company. Existing Holding SPE Members are granted a right of first offer if a Member wishes to sell their Holding SPE interest, but existing Members are not compelled to accept these offers. In scenarios whereby an existing Member wishes to sell its interest, the Company may act similar to a listing real estate agent and earn a commission on such sale.

 

Certain Significant Risks and Business Uncertainties The Company is subject to the risks and challenges associated with companies at a similar stage of development, including dependence on key individuals, successful development and marketing of its products and services, competition from substitute products and services, and larger companies with greater financial, technical management, and marketing resources. Further, during the period required to achieve and sustain substantially higher revenues in order to become profitable, the Company may require additional funds that may not be readily available or may not be on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

 

The Company operates in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, management of the Company believes that any of the following factors could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows: rates of revenue growth, the stability of the real estate market, impact of interest rate changes, concentration of financing optionality if current lenders cease to provide financing, local regulations prohibiting the Company from doing business, unanticipated fluctuations in operating results due to economic or political factors that are outside the Company’s control, intense competition, failure to attract and retain key personnel, failure to protect intellectual property, and inability to manage growth.

  2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 1-SA and Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

 

All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any other interim period or for the entire year. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet and certain related disclosures are derived from the Company’s December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements filed on Form 1-A. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 1-A, which was filed with the SEC. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and certain related disclosures are unaudited and have not been reviewed, and may not include year-end adjustments to make those consolidated financial statements comparable to audited results.

 

The consolidated financial statements include Pacaso Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as the Holding SPEs in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Principles of Consolidation—When evaluating an entity for consolidation, the Company first determines whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the entity is deemed to be a VIE, the Company determines whether it would be the entity’s primary beneficiary and consolidates those VIEs for which the Company would be the primary beneficiary. The Company will also consolidate an entity not deemed a VIE upon determination that the Company has a controlling financial interest. See below for further discussion on the Company’s accounting for Holding SPEs used to acquire and sell co-ownership interests.

 

Use of Estimates—The Company prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the net realizable value of real estate inventory and real estate investments, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, capitalized software development, valuation of common stock, share-based compensation, and income taxes. The amounts ultimately realized from the affected assets or recognized as liabilities will depend on, among other factors, general business conditions and could differ materially in the near term from the carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency Translation—The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average rates for operating results. Unrealized translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity and included in net earnings only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiary. When a transaction is denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency, the Company recognizes a transaction gain or loss in other income (expense), net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the transaction is settled.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally places cash and cash equivalents and investments with high-credit-quality counterparties to ensure the financial institutions are stable when the Company’s deposits exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Company limits. The Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions where, at times, deposits exceed federal insurance limits.

 

Consolidation and Real Estate Investment Accounting Co-ownership—Prior to December 31, 2022, the Holding SPE’s operating agreement typically provided that all activities of the Holding SPE’s that most significantly impact the Holding SPE’s economic performance are controlled by non-Pacaso members upon the sale of a single share in an individual Holding SPE. The Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of the Holding SPEs upon the sale of the first membership interest, or group of membership interests, in an individual Holding SPE as the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities of the Holding SPE that most significantly impact the Holding SPE’s economic performance. As a result, the Company deconsolidates the Holding SPE upon the first closing of a membership interest in an individual Holding SPE.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Holding SPE’s operating agreement was amended and the Company has the power to direct the activities of the Holding SPE’s that most significantly impact the Holding SPE’s economic performance until five of eight membership interests in an individual Holding SPE are sold, thus the Company does not deconsolidate until the fifth membership interest are sold in these circumstances.

 

Additionally, in certain limited circumstances, the Company is unable to legally transfer membership interest in the Holding SPE due to a lender restriction and the Company has not deconsolidated Holding SPEs with this lender restriction. Funds received for Holding SPEs with this lender restriction are recorded to deferred revenue until the loan is paid in full, at which time the membership will be transferred, the Holding SPEs will be deconsolidated, and revenue will be recognized.

 

F-8
 

 

Until Holding SPEs are deconsolidated, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes all assets and liabilities of those Holding SPEs. Any amounts received from Members associated with consolidated Holding SPEs are reflected as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

Upon deconsolidation of each Holding SPE, the Company accounts for the remaining membership interests held as equity method investments, which are recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as real estate investments, net. The equity method investments represent the Company’s non-controlling equity investment in the unconsolidated Holding SPEs. The real estate value and associated debt obligations associated with these remaining membership interests are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance on a net basis. Non-refundable cash proceeds received from third-party customers prior to the Company closing on the acquisition of a home are reflected as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refundable deposits received from third-party customers are classified as deposit liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

The deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $3,059 and $5,614, respectively, and consists primarily of cash payments received for Holding SPEs that are not deconsolidated, as well as cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations. Revenue and gain from sale of real estate investments recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to amounts recorded as deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023 was $6,742 and $105, respectively.

 

All operating costs of consolidated Holding SPEs are shared between the Company and the Members based on a pro-rata ownership interest.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost, which approximates their fair value.

 

Accounts and Other Long Term Receivable and Reserves for Credit Losses—Accounts and Other long term receivables are stated at amounts due from customers, net of reserves for credit losses. Reserves for credit losses is a best estimate of credit losses within the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio. The Company estimates its reserves for credit losses by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history, the Company’s judgment as to the specific customer’s current ability to pay its obligation and the condition of the general economy. Account balances are charged against the reserves when they become uncollectible after the Company has exhausted all means of collection. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not record any reserves for credit losses as all amounts are deemed to be collectible.

 

As discussed above, as the Holding SPE sells membership interests, new third-party Members either pay cash in full for their interests or choose to finance up to 70% of their purchase price directly with the Holding SPE. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s accounts receivable was comprised primarily of balances due from new third-party members where an installment agreement was executed with terms less than 12 months. Any amounts due under installment agreements that have payments due over 12 months as of the balance sheet date are recorded as Other long term receivables on our consolidated balance sheet. While the payment terms over 12 months are classified as long term receivables, there is a possibility that the Company either obtains additional debt at the Holding SPE which could reduce this long term receivable, as well as principal paydowns from third-party Members that financed their purchase.

 

Other Long-Term Assets—Other long-term assets as of December 31, 2023 primarily consist of real estate inventory where the Company is unable to legally transfer membership interest in the Holding SPE due to a lender restriction (see Note 2 above). Due to the debt maturity for the associated real estate inventory asset being over 12 months, the Company classified as long-term assets as of December 31, 2023 and was moved to current assets in real estate inventory as of June 30, 2024.

 

Website and Software Development Costs—The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, direct and incremental internal and external costs relating to upgrades or enhancements, and deemed by the Company to be significant, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs (including those costs in the post-implementation stages) are expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the websites (or software) that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives of website and software development activities are reviewed frequently and adjusted as appropriate to reflect upcoming development activities that may include significant upgrades or enhancements to the existing functionality.

 

Capitalized software development costs principally relate to the development of the Company’s mobile applications, including the Company’s SmartStay booking technology, as well as website development and internal process automation. Total capitalized software development costs were $1,116 and $1,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in intangible assets, net within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over an estimated useful life of 3 years. Amortization expense of capitalized software development costs was $1,391 and $1,219 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

F-9
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Real estate sales—The Company generates real estate sales revenue from the sale of partial membership interests in single family real estate and the revenue is recorded net of any discounts, or concessions, that may be granted.

 

As outlined above in Consolidation and Real Estate Investment Accounting — Co-ownership, the Company’s revenue recognition policies are first impacted by its ability to deconsolidate Holding SPE entities from its balance sheet. Once a Holding SPE has met the criteria for deconsolidation, the Company then evaluates the appropriate recognition of revenue and cost for membership interest sales, or in the case of a whole home sale, for the entirety of the home. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 a significant majority of the Real Estate sales revenue was due to whole home sales, primarily due to winding down operations in Spain. Real estate sales revenue is recognized on the Holding SPE membership interest sale if a transfer of control over the interest is deemed to have occurred, which is defined as the point in time when a binding contract has been executed, the underlying Holding SPE share has been provided to a Member who obtains the right to use the home, any rescission or right-of-return periods have expired, and the transaction price has been fully paid or deemed to be collectible. Any amounts received prior to when transfer of control is deemed to have occurred, or prior to deconsolidation, are recorded as deferred revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

As outlined above in Consolidation and Real Estate Investment Accounting — Co-ownership, the Company deconsolidates the Holding SPE upon the first closing, or the fifth closing for Holding SPEs for which the operating agreement was amended in 2023. The first or fifth closing could be associated with the sale of one or multiple membership interests up to and including all eight membership interests. Real estate sales revenue is recognized for all membership interests sold upon the first or fifth closing. Deconsolidation of the Holding SPE occurs after the first closing or fifth closing, at which point the Holding SPE is classified as an equity method investment on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In addition, real estate sales revenue includes sales of whole homes whereby the Company has purchased a home, but found a single buyer for the home as opposed to multiple buyers. In these circumstances revenue is recorded when transfer of control over the home occurs, similar to the criteria for recognizing membership interest sales.

 

Gains on real estate investment sales—All membership interests sold after deconsolidation are treated as sales of equity method investments and recognized as net gains on the sale of real estate investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These net gains are also recorded net of any discounts, or concessions, that may be granted. The Company records gains on sales when the criteria for sale recognition have been achieved, which are largely consistent with criteria evaluated for real estate sales. Membership interests are sold without recourse to investors, and Members are able to pledge or exchange their membership interests received. The Company also does not hold any repurchase rights associated with membership interests sold which would prohibit gain recognition as other criteria for sale recognition have been achieved. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2023, there were limited circumstances in which the Company could not transfer ownership for sold membership interests due to certain provisions in the legal agreements which prohibited gain recognition. The Company recorded the impact of these as failed sales, with cash received from customers recorded as long-term debt. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was $5,423 and $5,682 respectively, included in long term debt on the consolidated balance sheet, and is included in the Holding SPE lines of credit shown below in Note 7. Once these meet the criteria for sale recognition, these sales will be treated as sales of equity method investments and recognized as net gains on the sale of real estate investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Real estate services—Real estate services revenue principally consists of ownership fees related to services the Company provides to Holding SPEs following the sale of membership interests, fees related to Members who finance, and commissions earned. Real Estate services also includes fees related to a program called Pacaso NOW where a one-year agreement is signed and the member of a Holding SPE can trial the home for one year and then put the membership back to the Company or proceed with a full purchase of the membership interest. The Pacaso NOW fees are recognized in Real estate services revenue ratably over the term of the agreement.

 

The Company provides services under the Holding SPE management agreement, which includes certain services associated with managing the Holding SPEs (“Program Management Services”) as well as services associated with day-to-day management of homes (“Property Management”). Program Management services include Holding SPE administrative services, technology services (inclusive of providing for the use of the Company’s proprietary booking and stays technology), financial and accounting services, and oversight of any property management functions. Property Management Services are associated with the Company’s role as the property manager for each Holding SPE, responsible for day-to-day management of the property, including housekeeping and maintenance. The Company may decide to separately engage third-party subcontractors to fulfill its Property Management obligations.

 

The Company is paid a fixed monthly payment by Holding SPE members for the Program Management Services. The Company’s management agreements are currently for an initial five-year term, and are renewed automatically on an annual basis thereafter unless a supermajority of Holding SPE Members choose to replace the Company in the Non-Member managing role. Program Management fees are recognized as revenue on a monthly basis as services are performed.

 

All Property Management Services are charged to Members based on comparable market rates that an unaffiliated third-party would charge. In cases where local property managers are hired, the fee is approved by the Company in its role as program manager, and the services and managers are overseen by the Company. The Company, in its role as program manager is entitled to consideration for reimbursement of operating costs incurred on behalf of the Holding SPE Members in providing Property Management Services (“reimbursable revenue”). These reimbursable revenues include services such as property maintenance and cleaning. Program Management Services and Property Management Services are each evaluated as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized when the services are performed and are recorded as a component of real estate services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reimbursable revenue within real estate services revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $17,139 and $14,879, respectively, with the same amounts recorded in each period in cost of real estate services.

 

F-10
 

 

Real estate services revenue also includes services provided by the Company to facilitate Member loan origination activities when a Member elects to finance a portion of their ownership interest directly with the Holding SPE. The Company typically charges a 1% service fee based on the amount financed and these fees are collected upon the closing of the sale of the membership interest.

 

The Company also, at times, derives revenue from facilitating ownership transfer or paydown transactions on behalf of property owners who wish to convert an existing second home into a Pacaso home. In these instances, the Company may act as an agent of a paydown seller who places a property into a Holding SPE while the Company provides services as a facilitator of the sale of ownership interests to unrelated third-party Members. The Company records net revenue, as a component of real estate services sales revenue, for commissions earned in facilitating paydown transactions based on the fixed markup charged to new Holding SPE Members for their purchase transaction. Revenue is recorded as the Company sells individual Holding SPE interests to third-party owners and its performance obligations as an agent are complete. The Company may also earn a commission when an existing Member wishes to sell its interest and the Company acts as a listing real estate agent and earns a commission on such sale.

 

The Company enters into Holding SPE share agreements at the same time as it signs its initial management agreement. These collective agreements govern the performance of services for two distinct performance obligations: (1) the sale of Holding SPE membership interests, and (2) the performance of managed services (program management services or property management discussed further below). While the Company’s pricing is consistent from arrangement to arrangement the Company evaluates the price charged to customers to ensure the relative amounts allocated to each performance obligation are commensurate with the fair value of such elements on a stand-alone basis.

 

Real Estate Inventory, Net—For homes where a share has not yet been sold, and the Company owns 100% of the Holding SPE, the Holding SPE real estate inventory represents the value of real estate purchased by the Company’s consolidated Holding SPEs. Direct home acquisition, furnishings, and improvement costs are capitalized and tracked directly with each specific property. The Company’s property inventory cost represents the final third-party purchase price paid by the Holding SPE, inclusive of customary closing costs, to acquire and furnish the home, less any buyers credits received at the time of closing. Homes are stated in inventory at cost and are evaluated for realizability. Real estate inventory, net includes a valuation adjustment to record real estate inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company applies the specific identification method whereby each home constitutes a unit of account. If the carrying amount or basis of inventory is not expected to be recovered, an inventory valuation adjustment is recorded to cost of revenue and the related assets are adjusted to their net realizable value. For homes under sales contract, the net realizable value is the contract price less expected selling costs. For homes that are not under sales contract, net realizable value is management’s internally developed projected sales price less expected selling costs. The determination of net realizable value for homes not under sales contract requires management to make significant estimates related to projected sale prices. Changes in these estimates could have a significant impact on the net realizable value and a significant change in net realizable value could cause a significant valuation adjustment. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company did not record any write-down against real estate inventory.

 

Cost of Real Estate and Real Estate Services—Upon deconsolidation of Holding SPEs, the Company recognizes a proportionate reduction of real estate inventory as a cost of real estate. Our cost of real estate consists of the proportionate consideration paid to purchase and furnish the property and related acquisition costs for first share sale transactions. These costs are accumulated in real estate inventory during the holding period and charged to cost of revenue on a proportionate basis when revenue recognition occurs on a specific identification method.

 

Additionally, cost of real estate services consists of personnel-related expenses for personnel directly involved with property management and maintenance services performed by the Company, as well as reimbursable revenue costs which are typically passed through at zero margin.

 

Holding SPE Lines of Credit—Member purchases of homes through Holding SPEs are partially funded with recourse financing through lending arrangements and lines of credit obtained from third-party lenders. The amount of debt financing may vary for each property, but terms allow for the Holding SPEs to borrow up to a maximum amount, on a revolving basis. Each line of credit is unique for each Holding SPE, but typically the facilities have a 10-year term, with interest-only payment terms that place principal repayment in full at the end of the term. The lines of credit are securitized by the underlying properties owned by each Holding SPE, with the Company also providing a guarantee of each Holding SPEs obligation to the lender through a separate agreement directly with the lender. Lines of credit associated with wholly-owned Holding SPEs are recorded within current portion of debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 7 for further details. Lines of credit associated with deconsolidated equity method investments are presented on a net basis within real estate investments, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. See note 3 for further details.

 

Each Holding SPE Member can choose to finance a portion of their ownership interest directly with the Holding SPE. Members are capped at 70 percent financing of their interest. All cash equity placed into a Holding SPE after a home has been purchased, and initial credit facilities have been drawn, is immediately used by the Holding SPE to pay down a portion of the outstanding borrowings. As each Holding SPE Member makes monthly payments to the Holding SPE to satisfy its individual loan from the Holding SPE, these payments are in turn utilized to make payments to the bank on revolving credit facilities.

 

F-11
 

 

If any underlying Holding SPE Member is delinquent on making their loan payments to the Holding SPE, the Company is obligated, under the terms of the Holding SPE operating agreement, to make all interim payments on behalf of the Holding SPE to keep its payment standing current with the lender. After a period of delinquency, if the Member has not brought their account current, the Company, on behalf of the Holding SPE, may repossess ownership of the delinquent borrower’s Holding SPE membership interest, and remarket the share for third-party sale at a price determined by the Company. Any proceeds received from such sales are first utilized to settle all outstanding Member loans with the Holding SPE, which in turn pays down a corresponding amount with the lender. Any remaining proceeds then go to the Company to reimburse for any interim payments made to the lender between the time of delinquency and the time of membership interest resale. Finally, and only after each of the above steps has occurred, would the defaulted Member receive any remaining proceeds.

 

As previously noted, the Company continues to maintain a guarantee to the lender associated with the Holding SPE credit facilities. These guarantees effectively provide that in situations in which an outstanding Holding SPE Member is unable to make payments to satisfy its obligations with the Holding SPE, and after the Member’s share has been sold with the Company being reimbursed for any payments made on behalf of the Holding SPE after the period of delinquency, that the Company would be ultimately liable for any shortfalls to the lender. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total principal outstanding subject to the Company’s guarantee to the lender was $328,987 and $313,264, respectively.

 

These guarantees are recorded at fair value at the time of revenue recognition. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the value of such guarantees is immaterial.

 

General and Administrative—General and administrative costs primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, for executive management and administrative functions including finance, human resources and legal. General and administrative costs also include certain professional service fees. These costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Sales and Marketing—Sales and marketing costs consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, home staging, commissions paid to third-party real estate brokers and expenses related to sales and marketing. Advertising costs totaled $2,011 and $652, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Technology and Development—Technology and development costs primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, associated with building and operating the Company’s technology that is not capitalizable, as well as information technology costs. These costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Operations—Operations costs primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, and logistic expenses in association with operating the Holding SPEs.

 

Holding Costs—Holding costs includes equity method earnings from real estate investments, net, which effectively represent carrying costs related to Holding SPEs that are not yet fully subscribed for the Company’s pro-rata share of operating and capital cost. These costs are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, holding costs included a write-off of receivables from Holding SPE’s of $907 where the Company agreed to pay certain expenses on behalf of certain SPE’s.

 

Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit or that future deductibility is uncertain.

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense if incurred.

 

The Company does not release income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying asset or liability to which the income tax relates has been derecognized from the balance sheet or otherwise terminated.

 

Loss per share—Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Pacaso Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Pacaso Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and the impact of securities that would have a dilutive effect, if any. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements - “Net Loss Per Share” for further discussion.

Segments—Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates its business in the following two segments: (i) Co-ownership Real Estate and Financing and (ii) Property Operations. See Note 16: Business Segments for more information related to our segments.

 

Share-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for share-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, CompensationStock Compensation, which requires compensation expense to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based awards. The compensation expense recognized for each share-based award, based on the grant-date fair value, is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period except for performance-based awards which are recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. As permitted by ASC 718, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company has elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to companies that are not issuers. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 (Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment disclosures), which is intended to improve disclosures about an entity’s reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures), which is intended to improve an entity’s income tax disclosures, primarily through disaggregated information about an entity’s effective income tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The new standard is effective for private companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Receivables from Contracts with Customers, Contract Assets, and Contract Liabilities

 

Our accounts receivable that relates to contracts with customers include amounts associated with our contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations and are settled when the cash is received. The amounts from our contracts with customers included in Accounts Receivable, net as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $4,071 and $6,779, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not record any reserves for credit losses as all amounts are deemed to be collectible. Contract liabilities include payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. Such contract liabilities include funds received prior to the Company closing on the acquisition of a home and prior to the deconsolidation of the Holding SPE. Contract assets were not material as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The following table presents contract liabilities reflected as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet, which also represents our remaining performance obligations.

  5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

 

  Level I: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level II: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
     
  Level III: Inputs are unobservable for the assets or liability and are supported by little or no market activity, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

F-14
 

 

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their recorded values due to their short period of time to maturity. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

   As of June 30, 2024

  7. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company’s debt consists of Holding SPE lines of credit with multiple third-party financial institutions, Regulation D proceeds, a separate acquisition financing line of credit with a third-party lender to facilitate home purchases in certain circumstances, and two general purpose corporate credit facilities. Holding SPE line of credit amounts recorded as debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet typically relate to wholly-owned SPEs. Holding SPE lines of credit associated with deconsolidated equity method investments are presented on a net basis within real estate investments, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 3 for further details.

 

All of the Company’s debt is recorded net of any debt issuance costs, which are amortized to either interest expense over the life of the facility for the acquisition financing line of credit or cost of real estate services for holding SPE lines of credit. The debt issuance cost associated with the Regulation D offerings were immaterial. The underlying homes owned by the Holding SPEs collateralize the Company’s debt. The fair value of all of the Company’s debt approximates carrying value.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s current and long-term debt as of:

 

(amount in thousands)  June 30,
2024
   December 31,
2023

F-15
 

 

Holding SPE lines of credit—The Company enters into mortgage loan program facilities with multiple third-party financial institutions. Borrowings under these facilities are made by each individual Holding SPE and are typically interest-only loans with 10-year terms or less. All borrowings are secured by the underlying homes within each Holding SPE. The advance rates under this credit facility are typically capped at 65% of the appraised value of the underlying home, the interest rate ranges from 3.5% to 11% and none of the borrowings provide the Company with any general credit for corporate purposes.

 

During June 2024, the Company obtained an additional property mortgage loan where the Company is the only obligor for the loan. The mortgage loan has a 5-year term maturing in June 2029, bearing interest at 6.44%, and is reflected as debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

The weighted average borrowing rate on the Holding SPE lines of credit was 4.5% as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company was in compliance with applicable financial covenants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

While the contractual payment terms of certain Holding SPE lines of credit classify the debt as a long-term liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, typically the Company will derecognize the debt balances as Holding SPEs are fully subscribed, the Company no longer retains an economic interest in the Holding SPE and the Company no longer consolidates the Holding SPE, which may be prior to 12 months since the balance sheet date. At this stage, any remaining Holding SPE lines of credit debt has fully become the obligation of any underlying Holding SPE investors who have financed their purchase interests.

 

Due to the nature of Holding SPE line of credit activity, the Company borrows from facilities while it is often the sole Member of an individual SPE entity. When the Company subsequently sells shares to third party Members, the SPE borrowings are reassigned to purchasing Members, as outlined in Note 2. Given the nature of this activity, the Company presents gross SPE borrowings on the Statement of Cash Flows as cash inflows from financing activities. However, the assignment of these borrowings upon sale of SPE interests is presented as a non-cash reconciling item in the Statement of Cashflows, effectively reducing cashflows from operating activities upon the assignment.

 

As outlined in Note 2, the Company has provided a payment guarantee to lending institutions to guarantee payment of SPE lines of credit in the event of default by any Members. The value of these guarantees is immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Acquisition financing line of credit—On February 2, 2022, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility with a third-party financial institution (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”). The facility’s originally scheduled maturity on July 2, 2023 was extended to July 2, 2024 and borrowings under this credit facility are secured by the equity interests of the wholly-owned subsidiary. The advance rates under this credit facility are capped at 85% of the appraised value of the underlying home, the interest rate is 15% on draws up to $25 million and 13% thereafter and none of the borrowings provide the Company with any general credit for corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $2,817 and $12,057 was drawn on the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and the Company was in compliance with the covenants. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility outstanding balance of $2,817 as of June 30, 2024 was paid in full during July 2024 and was not extended.

 

Corporate credit facilities—In May 2022, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a EUR 10 million credit facility with a third-party financial institution that provides the Company with credit available for general corporate purposes. The facility matured in May 2023 and the interest rate is Euribor + 2.5%. In connection with this credit facility, the Company provided EUR 10.3 million of collateral which was deposited into a restricted deposit account. In connection with entering into this facility, the Company executed two separate EUR to USD currency derivatives with $11M USD and 10M EUR notional amounts. The instruments matured in May 2023 and are treated as freestanding derivatives on the Company’s financial statements with any gains or losses recorded immediately to income. During May 2023, the EUR 10 million credit facility was paid in full and the associated restricted deposit account became unrestricted and the currency derivatives matured and were discontinued.

 

In July 2022, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a $16.5 million credit facility with a third-party financial institution (the “July 2022 Europe Credit Facility”) that provides the Company with credit available for general corporate purposes. The facility matured in July 2023 and the interest rate is Euribor + 2.15%. In connection with this credit facility, the Company entered into a standby letter of credit with another financial institution in the amount of $16.5 million. In connection with the standby letter of credit, the Company provided $16.5 million of collateral which was deposited into a restricted certificate of deposit account. On January 31, 2023 the Company paid in full the $16.5 million July 2022 Europe Credit Facility. In conjunction with this payoff, the standby letter of credit of $16.5 million and $16.5 million collateral in the restricted certificate of deposit became unrestricted.

 

Regulation D Offerings—During 2023, the Company commenced a tender process to raise debt funds via SEC Regulation D offerings. The Company raised $7.9 million of cash, which offers participants a 10% yield and a 24 month term. There are no conversion or other early redemption rights within the debt securities offered and sold to date. Funds raised are generally utilized to support SPE financing activities.

 

F-16
 

 

During March 2024, the Company commenced an additional tender process to raise debt funds via SEC Regulation D offerings. Through June 30, 2024 the Company raised $7.2 million of cash, which offers participants a 15% yield and a 24 month term. There are no conversion or other early redemption rights within the debt securities offered and sold to date. Funds raised will generally be utilized to support SPE financing activities.

 

Additionally, in connection with the Company’s Regulation D offerings prior to March 2024, extensions were executed related to $4.0 million of debt securities to extend their terms by 12 months after the initial term with new maturities ranging from February 2026 through February 2027 and increase their yield from 10% to 15%.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has fulfilled its obligations and requirements for exemption related to these Regulation D offerings.

 

Guarantee Liability—As December 31, 2023, the Company also had one property mortgage note where the Company is the only obligor for the note (the “2022 Guarantee Liability”). The mortgage note has a 2-year term maturing in September 2024, bearing interest at 9.6%, and is reflected as a current guarantee liability on the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 17 - Subsequent Events for repayment details.

 

  8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock—As of June 30, 2024, the Company was authorized to issue 301,508,762 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Included in common stock are 150,000,000 shares designated as Class A common stock, 120,000,000 shares designated as Class B common stock and 31,508,762 shares designated as Class C common stock. Each share of Class A common stock shall be entitled to 10 votes per share. Class B common stock are not entitled to any votes. Class C common stock shall be entitled to one vote per share.

 

Simple Agreements for Future Equity—During March and April 2022, the Company entered into SAFE agreements (the “2022 SAFEs”) with various investors in exchange for $15,369 in cash proceeds. Upon a future equity financing, the 2022 SAFEs will convert into the same securities in that equity financing and the 2022 SAFEs have no interest rate or maturity date, and the SAFE investors have no voting right prior to conversion. During June 2023, a portion of the 2022 SAFEs were converted into 7,216,848 shares of Series C preferred stock at $1.76 per share, representing the cancellation of $12,701 of the 2022 SAFE agreements. At the time of the conversion, the Company also sold 372,891 additional shares of Series C preferred stock at $1.76 per share for additional gross proceeds of $656 and issued warrants to investors to purchase an additional 30,299 shares of Series C preferred stock at $1.76 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time for a period of ten years from issuance. The fair value of the warrants were immaterial.

 

The Company’s SAFE agreements are accounted for as liabilities which are marked-to-market each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded through the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as other (expense) income, net in each reporting period. The Company estimated the fair value of the SAFEs as of each issuance date and as of the closing of each preferred stock issuance. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the changes in fair value for the 2022 SAFEs were immaterial.

 

Preferred Stock—Preferred stock is issuable in one or more series, each with such designations, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine at the time of issuance.

 

During June 2023 the Company repurchased 193,327 Series A, 60,330 Series B and 30,450 Series C shares of preferred stock, respectively, at a price per share of $1.76 per share.

 

The following table presents the Company’s authorized and outstanding preferred stock as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

  9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

For additional information regarding our share-based awards, see Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed on the Company’s Form 1-A filed with the SEC.

 

Stock Option Awards—During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repriced 1,497 stock options, reducing the exercise price from an average of $1.85 per option to $1.27 per option. The modification resulted in additional stock compensation expense of $196, of which $109 was recognized at the modification date and the remainder recognized over the remaining vesting period of the options. There were no other changes to the awards modified.

 

The following assumptions were used in the determination of fair value of option awards granted during the period:

  10. NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to Pacaso Inc. by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding. Also, the Company has potential shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding because the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into Class C Common Stock, but no shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and 2023. Additionally, the weighted average common stock shown below includes 2,208,405 shares of Class B Common Stock in both periods presented related to warrants exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01. In all cases, the economic rights and privileges of each class of Common Stock are the same. The only difference between the classes is voting rights.

 

Due to the Company’s multiple common share class structure, the Company utilizes the two-class method in calculating net loss per share. However, all classes of Common Stock share equally in both earnings and losses and the only differentiating factor between the classes is the number of votes per share. Thus, under the use of the two-class method, all classes of common stock result in the same net loss per share. No dividends were declared or paid for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company’s preferred stock, stock options, RSU’s, RSA’s, SAFE’s and remaining warrants not discussed above are considered to be potential common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented, as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

 

   Six Months ended June 30, 
   2024   2023 
(in thousands, except per share data)        
Numerator:          
Net loss  $(13,792)  $(18,922)
Less: Excess amount paid to preferred stockholder over carrying value pursuant to repurchases   -    (19)
Net loss available to Pacaso Inc. Class A and B common stockholders  $(13,792)  $(18,941)
           
Denominator - weighted average:          
Common stock outstanding - basic and diluted   160,652    156,467 
           
Basic and diluted net loss per share to Class A and B common stockholders  $(0.09)  $(0.12)

  11. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a two-step process whereby (i) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position (“more-likely-that-not recognition threshold”) and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

 

The Company recognizes a valuation allowance which reduces the deferred tax assets to the amount we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the value of the deferred tax asset, net of the valuation allowance, was $0.

 

The Company’s component of the expense for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $73 and $63, respectively, related to current state income taxes.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was -0.53% and -0.17%, respectively, and differ from the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the change in the valuation allowance and state taxes.

 

The Company files a consolidated income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Due to the Company’s operating loss carryforwards, the U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for 2020 and onward. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income tax in the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there is no accrued interest or penalties recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

 

  12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is involved in various proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business, inclusive of preliminary challenges by certain local cities and municipalities surrounding the legality of the Company’s business model. While the results of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

  13. RETIREMENT PLAN

 

The Company adopted a 401(k) profit-sharing plan effective July 29, 2020. The plan covers eligible employees as of their hire date. The 401(k) component of the plan allows employees to elect to defer from 1% to 100% of their eligible compensation up to the federal limit per year. Company matching and profit-sharing contributions are discretionary and are determined annually by Company management and approved by the Board of Directors. No matching or profit-sharing contributions were declared for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

  14. LEASES

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s lease portfolio comprised of a single aircraft lease and the Company does not have any finance leases. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. Operating leases are recorded within other long-term assets, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected an accounting policy to combine lease and non-lease components for all leases.

 

F-20
 

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is generally not readily determinable for most leases, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On January 1, 2023, the Company’s single aircraft lease was modified to amend the minimum monthly lease amount to $15 per month and the Company recalculated the present value of the remaining lease term using the incremental borrowing rate at the time of the amendment.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $90 of operating lease expense, excluding short-term lease expense, respectively, which was immaterial. The impact of the Company’s lease portfolio did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

The following table presents supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet information related to the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2024:

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets  $252 
      
Other current lease liabilities  $149 
Long-term operating lease liabilities   103 
Total operating lease liabilities  $252 
      
Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)   1.75 
      
Weighted-average discount rate   9.5%

 

As of June 30, 2024, the maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities were as follows:

 

Remainder of 2024  $90 
2025   180 
2026   45 
2027   - 
2028   - 
Total lease payments  $315 
Less imputed interests (A)   (63)
Total  $252 

 

(A) Calculated using the Company’s average incremental borrowing rate

 

The lease term is for a period of five years with an automatic renewal period of one year. For the purposes of determining the lease term, the automatic renewal period was excluded since it was not reasonably certain at lease commencement the renewal period will be exercised.

 

  15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Employees and non-employee directors are permitted to purchase co-ownership interests in a Holding SPE formed by the Company and are also permitted to finance their purchases under the same terms and conditions available to all other third parties. When this occurs, the Company waives the markup charged to third-party customers for the Company’s role in facilitating the structure and property acquisition. The Company only waives the markup and does not provide employees or non-employee directors any other discounts associated with the purchase of a co-ownership interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company waived no fees associated with co-ownership interest purchases by employees and non-employee directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 one unit was purchased back by the Company from its CEO at the same par value in which it was originally sold. Additionally, upon a resale of co-ownership interests, the Company may act similar to a listing real estate agent and earn a commission on such sale at typical market rates.

 

On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an entity owned and controlled by the Company’s co-founder and CEO for use of an airplane to be used for business travel (see Note 14). The Company has concluded the terms of the agreement are at market rates and consistent, in form and substance, with those involving executives of other companies and the agreement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

F-21
 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s two co-founders both participated in contributing funds towards the debt raised via SEC Regulation D discussed in Note 7. The terms of the agreement are at market rates and consistent with all investors that participated in the offering.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, other current receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $2,150 and $2,851, respectively, amounts due from related Holding SPE’s. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, other current liabilities includes $157 and $1,232, respectively, amounts due to related Holding SPE’s.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no preferred stock repurchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, certain investors sold back 193,327 Series A, 60,330 Series B and 30,450 Series C shares of preferred stock, respectively, at a price per share of $1.76 per share. The difference of $19 between the total initial cost to acquire the shares and the sales price was recorded to accumulated deficit on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As this transaction occurred with related parties, we determined that this is not an arm’s length transaction and is not indicative of the fair value of the preferred stock.

 

  16. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

We operate our business under the following two segments: (i) co-ownership real estate and financing and (ii) property operations. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment asset data, and therefore such information is not represented. We evaluate segment performance based upon segment gross profit which represents the total revenue less cost of revenue attributable to that segment. We exclude reimbursable revenue and reimbursable cost of revenue because it is a pass through of costs at no margin as well as amortization of developed technology which is not allocated between segments and is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker, which is our CEO, evaluates the Company. Refer to the reconciliation of our segments to GAAP revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit table presented below.

 

Co-ownership Real Estate and Financing

 

Our primary business offering includes the marketing and selling of co-ownership membership interests in fully designed and furnished real estate through Holding SPE’s, provides financing in connection with the sale and facilitates resales between consumers.

The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events from July 1, 2024 through November 20, 2024, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. During August 2024, the company paid in full the 2022 Guarantee Liability of $2.8 million, and it was replaced with a new property mortgage note where the Company is the only obligor for the note. The new mortgage note has a 5-year term maturing in August 2029, bearing interest at 6.44%, and a gross advance of $3.1 million. Additionally, on September 30, 2024, the Company was qualified by the SEC and began offering up to 28,957,528 shares of our non-voting Class D Common Stock under Regulation A at $2.50 per share. The offering will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum offering amount have been accepted, (ii) the date which is three years from the date our Offering Statement, as amended, is initially qualified by the Commission, or (iii) any earlier date on which we elect to terminate the offering.
