MORTGAGE VALUATION

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

MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES

The Company primarily funds the mortgage loans (”CM Loans”) that it makes by issuing MSNs in series, each of which MSN series is secured by the mortgage or mortgages funded from proceeds of the MSN series. Our MSNs have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, SEC registered offerings, loan participations, and Rule 144A offerings. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has issued MSNs secured by these loans in the amount of $585,780,000 since inception and has redeemed $91,655,614 of its MSNs since inception.

PORTFOLIO LOANS

The Company recognizes loans made with its own capital, or those not securitized or sold via participation, under the caption “Portfolio Loans” on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. This number also includes the cash we have invested in loans on our warehouse line as “haircut capital.” As of June 30, 2023, the Company had issued Portfolio Loans in the amount of $39,409,104 and currently holds $5,613,038 of Portfolio Loans.

PARTICIPATIONS

From time to time the Company sells all or part of its mortgage loans as loan participations to banks or other lending institutions that prefer to hold their mortgage investments in that manner. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had issued loan participations in the amount of $21,500,000, all of which are still outstanding. These participations are included in the Mortgages Owned number and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable.

GOODWILL

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 350 requires an annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value of the mortgages owned, andreporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value is recognized onhigher than the Statement of Operations asfair value or there is an unrealized gain.


MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES
The Company funds the mortgage loansindication that it makes by issuing Mortgage Secured notes “MSNs,” which are secured by those same mortgages. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has funded CM Loans totaling $4,200,250, and it issued MSNs secured by those loans, also inimpairment may exist, a second step must be performed to compute the amount of $4,200,250. Two deals, totaling $2,800,000 have been funded with privately placed MSNs, while pending SEC effective dates. A third loanthe impairment. Management conducted its annual assessment of goodwill impairment and determined that there were no indicators of goodwill impairment and therefore did not record an impairment loss for $341,250 was funded with a privately placed MSN sold to an affiliate, and has not been included in any registration statement to date.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has threeCompany’s primary sources of revenue:revenue are origination fees, servicing fees, processing fees, underwriting income, trading profits, and processing fees.interest income.

On November 22, 2022, we obtained control of an income producing property and started collecting leasing revenue. We recorded rental income of $596,782 for the period ending June 30, 2023, which is reported as leasing revenue on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent revenue earned from originating mortgage loans.loans; net of any credits given to the borrower. Loan origination fees generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts and are deferred and recognized as revenue atover the timelife of the loansloan. The associated loan origination costs are funded.


also deferred and recognized as expense over the life of the loan. The deferred portion of the loan origination fees is netted against the deferred portion of the loan origination costs, which include mortgage broker expenses, and reported as a net deferred revenue liability on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition.

Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees represent revenue earned for servicing loans for various investors. Loan servicing fees are a percentage of the outstanding unpaid principal balance and represent the difference between the CM Loan interest received from our CM Loans and the MSN interest payable. Servicing Feesfees are recognized intoas revenue as the related mortgage payments are received,received; similarly, loan servicing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Processing Fees

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


UNREALIZED GAIN ON MORTGAGES

Underwriting Income

Underwriting income represents revenue earned by J.W. Korth for underwriting and distribution of the Company’s securities. Revenues from underwriting income are recognized on the settlement date of the trades.

Trading Profits

Trading profits represent revenue generated through the trading of securities either for its own account or on behalf of J.W. Korth’s clients. Revenue from trading profits is recognized upon settlement of the securities transactions.

Leasing Revenue

Leasing revenue represents revenues generated through KDM Stafford for rental income earned from operating leases at rental properties majority-owned and controlled by KDM. Leasing revenue generated from operating leases are recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Interest Income

Interest Income is primarily derived from interest earned on Portfolio Loans and includes interest earned on cash and securities.

LEASES

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The standard requires organizations to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition and disclose key information about leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. As part of the adoption of this standard, the Company recognizes lease liabilities with a corresponding ROU leased asset of approximately the same amount based on the present value of the remaining lease payments pursuant to current leasing standards for existing operating leases.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company estimates the fair values of share-based payments on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires assumptions for the expected volatility of the share price of our common stock, the expected dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the stock-based award. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Unrealized Gain on Mortgages OWNED

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

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of three to thirty-nine years.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedstatement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingenttheir respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities atare measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the dateyears in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from such position are measured by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense.

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the reported amountsterm of revenuesthe respective obligation, using the straight-line method. Amortization expense of debt issuance costs is recorded in interest expense in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU updates the existing incurred loss model to a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for financial assets and expenses duringnet investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through earnings. The amendments affect cash and cash equivalents, reverse repurchase agreements, certain loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures and any other financial assets not excluded from the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The MSNs have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, loan participations, and 144A offerings exempt from registration, and through SEC registered offerings.

The MSNs are typically five-year interest-only notes with the principal balance due at maturity, but terms can vary. Interest rates on the senior MSNs have ranged from 4.25% to 8.82% and mature at various dates from September 2023 to April 2038. The MSNs are non-recourse to KDM and are payable to the support agreement.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on its balance sheet. The Company owed J. W. Korth & Company $382,627 and $334,324 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 8 –FAIR VALUETable of Contents

GAAP

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs utilized in measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:

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

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


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


ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Valuation Process

Cash and cash equivalents:
The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.

Mortgages Owned and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable:

If a decline in fair values were determined byvalue below the marketcarrying balance is other-than-temporary, an unrealized impairment loss is recorded, and the loan is recorded at the time of sale and should be classified as Level II of thelower fair value hierarchy.

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

This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, constant prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, we haveit has a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates.rates, but have engaged a third party, MIAC Analytics, to assist us in our valuation of this asset.

J. W. Korth holds $225,000 of defaulted Banco Cruzeiro del Sur bonds, for which it reasonably believes it will receive par value from the receiver handling the liquidation in Brazil. Local counsel has informed J.W.Korth that the bank has sufficient cash to pay off J.W. Korth’s bonds. We therefore carry them at par value.

KDM also holds a small amount of its own MSNs in an account in which it will hold MSNs it may buy from time to time to provide liquidity to clients of J.W. Korth. These bonds are carried at the published statement values.

In July of 2022, we created an additional subsidiary to issue our MSNs, KDM Funding I LLC (“KDMF”). KDMF solely issues the Notes and does not have any other operations and there are no stand-alone financial statements prepared for KDMF. KDM is the servicer of the loans. The revenue and expenses associated with the Note issuance and the underlying loans are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations. However, when reporting on deal level information, we will continue to be supportedbreak out the deals by our parent company through 2018.  Over this period, we believe that we will achieve adequate revenue and cash-flow through making and servicing our mortgage loans to make us self-sufficient. We do not anticipate the need to raise any funds to finance our operating expenses during this period. During this period, any staffing requirements will be supplied by our parent company. These services and office space are provided free of charge in anticipation of the future success of KDM by the owners of the parent. During this period, we anticipate no research and development expenses and no expenses for plant and equipment, and that office space will be provided by J. W. Korth & Company. We intend to rent space and hire employees or assign employees from J. W. Korth & Company to KDM as business development requires. As we hire or are assigned employees the expenses of those employees will accrue to us.

Results of Operations for the Threesix Months Marchended June 30, 2023

The Company generated revenues of $4,862,296 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $209,888 compared with revenues of $5,072,184 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a 4% decline. As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned mortgages of $485,500,864 compared with mortgages of $447,407,141 as of December 31, 2018


First quarter net income came2022, and $417,102,419 as of June 30, 2022, an 8% and 14% increase, respectively.

Gross profit decreased by $391,702 (-11%) to $3,213,786 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with gross profit of $3,605,488 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in at $91,892, 36% ofgross profit was due to the increase in administrative expenses.

Operating expenses were $3,318,112 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was attributablean increase of $343,454 (12%) compared with operating expenses of $2,974,658 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by the increase of $297,752 in depreciation and amortization and $187,090 in office expenses.

Other (expense)/income decreased by $4,182,746 to origination and servicing revenue, totaling $32,850, while($636,547) during the remaindersix months ended June 30, 2023, compared with other (expense)/income of $3,546,199 during the net six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in other (expense)/income was andue primarily to the unrealized gain on mortgages of $90,290 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to unrealized gain of $130,043, which represents$3,577,109 during six months ended June 30, 2022. The decline in unrealized gain, as well as the net presentcurrent loss, is due to a drop off in originations due to current interest rate environment combined with mark to market value of our servicing book.

During the future servicing income. Two new loans were originatedsix months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $171,913 in deferred income tax benefit compared with $1,067,117 of deferred income tax expense during the period, earning a total of $26,825, or 82% of revenue. Salaries, at $28,382, and Professional & Legal, at $34,050 made up 91% of expenses together, due to higher legal and audit expenses in the first quarter of the year. The two new loans that we made were not yet securitized, so there were no ratings or underwriting expensesix months ended June 30, 2022.

Net loss is $551,085 for the period.


We have received strong demand forsix months ended June 30, 2023, compared with net income of $3,109,912 during the Notes. We issuesix months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily attributed to the Notes pursuant to registration statements of which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commissiondecrease in unrealized gain on Form S-1. Echoing the sentiment from our 10-K, a significant risk to our business model is the rate at which we are able to close loans. We are still in the process of obtaining a warehouse line of credit to help cover the gap between closings and the time when registration statements for the sale of Notes to loans which we make become effective. Shortening the time between the date we file a registration statement for Notes and the effective date for our registration statements will be key to profitability.

Financial Condition for the Threesix Months Ended June 30, 2023

As of June 30, 2023, we had $8,273,944 in cash, $19,770,822 in restricted cash, $2,500,000 in restricted investment, loans totaling $504,434,081, consisting of $485,500,864 in mortgages and participations, and $5,613,038 in portfolio loans, and Mortgage Servicing Rights with a fair value of $13,320,179 on our unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. The increase in restricted cash, mortgages owned, and mortgage servicing rights from December 31, 2022, is primarily due to the issuance of a new $55,000,000 MSN in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company closed on a $100,000,000 financing repurchase facility on March 31, 2018


2022. From time to time, we may need additional haircut capital to use the repurchase facility, which we may fund in a variety of ways, on either a short or long-term basis. Haircut capital is the cash on hand necessary to fund the portion of the loan not funded by the Line. The Company generates servicing revenues on its Mortgages owned with maturity dates ranging from September 2023 to April 2038 as well as income from its investments and portfolio loans with maturity dates ranging from April 2024 to March 2028.

We anticipate raising additional capital to fund our lending and development in the second half of 2023.

Status of KDM Loans

As of March 31, 2018, we had four loansJune 30, 2023, there are two CM Loans in payment default. On June 26, the parent company of one of our CM Loan borrowers filed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in FL. KDM has filed a proof of claim in this proceeding and expects that upon liquidation of the assets, it shall be made whole on the balance sheet forloan.

A CM Loan is currently in a total“suspended” state of $4,317,904 at fair value.default. Although the CM Loan Borrower has been delinquent in the payment of its loan, the payments have been accrued pending a potential restructuring of the Borrower’s debt that will bring the account current.

Subsequent to the filing of this report, KDM has had two additional Loan enter into a 30-day payment default. One of the loans is in these loans is expected to be brought current in the immediate future and no further collection action is expected. The original loan amounts totaled $4,200,250; however,parent company and principal of CM Loan Borrower on the second of these two loans are amortizing, which we carry at its remaining principal balance. We have recognized an unrealized gainbeen involved in litigation with investors on other unrelated transactions that appear to have triggered liquidity issues. The loan has as of $130,043 whichAugust (subsequent to the date of this report), gone 30 days delinquent and KDM is pursuing options with the net present value ofBorrower and third parties to acquire the future servicing income we receive from the loans made to date. We did not include this category of income on our year end financial statements, and it is a new category. This value is highly subjective and includes such variables as discount rate, prepay rate, and default rate; this value will be recalculated monthly and discount rate will change as interest rates change. The current value uses 6.5% for the discount rate and includes 0% constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) and default rates. We have no basis for estimating the CPR and default rate due to our newly formed operations, and are actively looking for a data provider to assist us with these estimates as our portfolio grows.

We expect to become cash flow positive by year end if we meet projections of closing $75 million in loans. We do not expect to increase staff by a material amount until we have sufficient pipeline and servicing to warrant additional outlay. Our liquidity needs in the meantime will be met by our parent company, J. W. Korth & Company, which has sufficient capital to support our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Risk.

We have no instruments subject to market risk.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Procedures.

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


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


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


Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2023, as required by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c)13a- 15(c). In making our assessment, we have utilized the criteria set forth by the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We concluded that based on our evaluation our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2018.


Changes in internal control over financial reporting
We have made changes to our internal control procedures with respect to financial reporting to further tighten our internal processes. Our financial reports are now reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure proper disclosure of report elements and classification of expenses.
