NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Lines of Business

 

Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (formerly White Dove Systems, Inc., Interfoods Consolidated, Inc., and then Sitestar Corporation) was incorporated in Nevada on December 17, 1992. On June 1, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Enterprise Diversified, Inc.” Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in this Report, the “Company,” “ENDI,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to Enterprise Diversified, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

During the periodquarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company operated through fivefour reportable segments:segments: Asset Management Operations, Real Estate Operations, Internet Operations, Home Services Operations, and Other Operations. Other Operations include corporate operations and investmentnonrecurring or one-time strategic funding or similar activity that is not considered to be one of our primary lines of business. As of January 1, 2019, legacy real estate operations, previously reported under Other Operations, are now being reported underDuring periods prior to the Real Estate Operations segment. Asquarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company also operated through a fifth reportable segment, Home Services Operations. However, as of the periodquarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and for all prior periods presented, home services operationsHome Services Operations are reported as discontinued operations. The management of the Company also continually reviews various investmentbusiness opportunities for the Company, including those in other lines of business.

 

Note Regarding Recent Transactions

On May 24, 2019, as per the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 28, 2019, the Company completed an asset sale transaction of its Home Services Operations, via its subsidiary, Specialty Contracting Group, LLC (formerly known as HVAC Value Fund, LLC), to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser, Rooter Hero Plumbing, Inc. (“Rooter Hero”). In the transaction, the Company sold and conveyed all of the subsidiary’s personal property and customer lists and records, excluding stock inventory and other current assets. As part of the transaction, Rooter Hero assumed the subsidiary’s obligations under lease and/or loan agreements for all outstanding vehicles and equipment, as well as the obligations to service all of the subsidiary’s customer accounts going forward. No cash consideration was exchanged in the transaction. As consideration for the transaction, Rooter Hero will pay monthly royalties for the next 60 months following the closing, calculated on the basis of revenue received from the customer accounts sold. Under such royalty arrangements, the Company will receive 7.5% of monthly revenue generated from qualified sales during the first year, and 5% of monthly revenue during years two through five. The operations of Specialty Contracting Group, LLC are considered a component of, and the sale reflects a major strategic shift in, the Company’s business.  As such, Specialty Contracting Group, LLC historical operations are now classified as “discontinued operations” in the Company’s financial statements. See Note 3 for more information.

Additionally, on June 27, 2019, as per the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2019, the Company sold 65% of its membership interest in Mt Melrose, LLC to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser, Woodmont Lexington, LLC (“Woodmont”). As consideration for the transaction, Woodmont paid the Company $100,000 and agreed to assume full responsibility for the management and operation of Mt Melrose and its real estate portfolio.  The Company has retained a 35% membership interest in Mt Melrose, with Woodmont owning the other 65% membership interest. While the operations of Mt Melrose, LLC are considered a component of the Company’s business, the sale did not represent a major strategic shift in the Company’s business. While we deconsolidated the operations of Mt Melrose, LLC on June 27, 2019, as a result of no longer having a controlling financial interest, Mt Melrose, LLC’s historical operations continue to be reflected as “continuing operations” in the Company’s financial statements. See Note 4 for more information.

Note Regarding Historic Consolidation of Old Mt. Melrose

Previously, as of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018, the Company had determined that Old Mt. Melrose (as defined below) was a “variable interest entity” because the seller’s equity interests in Old Mt. Melrose were not effective in determining whether the seller or New Mt Melrose (as defined below) had a controlling financial interest, and that New Mt Melrose’s rights under the Cash Flow Agreement were deemed to be variable interests in Old Mt. Melrose. As its primary beneficiary, New Mt Melrose previously consolidated Old Mt. Melrose’s financial results beginning on January 10, 2018. The fair values of the assets and liabilities of Old Mt. Melrose had been allocated accordingly on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018.

However, as of November 1, 2018, pursuant to a certain Termination of Master Real Estate Asset Purchase Agreement and Cash Flow Agreement, New Mt Melrose no longer had a controlling financial interest in Old Mt. Melrose and was no longer considered Old Mt. Melrose’s primary beneficiary. Consequently, as of November 1, 2018, the Company no longer consolidates the assets and liabilities of Old Mt. Melrose, and the balance of noncontrolling interest as of December 31, 2018, is appropriately reflected as zero on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. See Note 5 for additional information.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The December 31, 20182019 consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018.2019.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with GAAP, in the United State of America, the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including, among other items, those related to fair value of investments, revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, fair value of goodwill, fixed asset lives and impairment, lease right-of-use assets and impairment, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowance, other assets, the present value of lease liabilities, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accountsnote receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the FDIC and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

TheFor purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

 

Investments

 

The Company holds various recurring investments through its asset management operations and real estate operations segments. Additionally, one-time investments canmay be held and reported under the Company’s “other” segment. Assets held through these segments do not have a readily determinable value as these investments are not publicly traded, nor do they have published sales records. These investments are remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 65 for more information.

 

As of September 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company also holds its remaining 35%equity investment in Mt Melrose, LLC through its real estate operations segment. The Company has determined that its remaining equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value, and the Company will account for the investment at cost, less any impairment, as adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes. When fair value becomes determinable, the investment will be marked to fair value on a periodic basis.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are written off from the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account or invoice is individually determined to be uncollectible.

 

Real estate operations segment rental accounts are typically paid by tenants via cash or check no later than the fifth of the month. Any accounts collected after the fifth are charged either a flat-rate late fee or a daily-rate late fee based upon the lease agreement. If payments are not provided in a timely manner, then the amount due is designated as an account receivable. If accounts remain uncollected, then standard operating procedures are followed to commence a notice process for the tenant to either pay the amount due or vacate the property. Accounts receivable from rental revenue are generally considered unrecoverable after 90 days unless the Company reasonably believes that recovery is probable. These procedures typically result in low amounts of past due receivables.

 

The internet operations segment attempts to reduce the risk of non-collection by including a late-payment fee and a manual-processing-payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than 90 days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts receivable more than 30 days are considered past due. 

 

InventoryAs of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, allowances offsetting gross accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled $615 and $307, respectively. For the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, bad debt expense from continuing operations was $405 and $5,863, respectively.

 

Inventory is carried on the balance sheet at either the lower of purchased cost or net realizable value. Inventory is evaluated periodically for any obsolete or damaged stock.

11

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives for each of the following asset classifications:

 

Furniture and fixtures (in years)5

Equipment (in years)

  7 

Building improvements (in years)

  15 

Buildings (in years)

  27.5 

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets to be heldProperty and usedequipment are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

 

The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assetsProperty and equipment to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company tests its goodwill annually as of December 31st or whenmore often if events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable.

No impairment adjustments were recorded during the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting-unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment). The impairment test involves calculating the impairment of goodwill based solely on the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the reporting unit. Prior to performing the impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, an impairment adjustment of $754,958 was recorded to goodwill held through the home services segment. As noted above, various qualitative factors were considered before preparing a quantitative analysis. Qualitatively, a general underperformance of previously acquired home services businesses triggered the quantitative analysis. As part of the quantitative analysis, management estimated the fair value of the home services segment at the enterprise level using a discounted cash flow approach. The results were then tested for reasonableness using a market approach by analyzing comparable firms’ growth rates, margins, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. During the period ended June 30, 2019, an additional impairment of the remaining home services segment goodwill of $1,024,592 was recognized and reported as a component of the loss on the sale of Specialty Contracting Group, LLC’s assets.

Intangible assets (other than goodwill) consist of domain names attributed to the internet segment.operations segment. The Company owns 228 domain names, of which 106 are available for sale. TheseThese domains are valued at historical cost. When management determines that material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account internal and external appraisals. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related intangible asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

 

Real Estate

 

Real estate properties held for resale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. All costs directly related to the improvement and carrying of real estate are capitalized, including renovations and property taxes, to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property. If the cost of the real estate exceeds the estimated fair value, then the excess is charged to expense. Fair value is estimated based on comparable sales in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Fair value is evaluated annually by management or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the real estate may not be recoverable.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, anNo impairment adjustment of $964,743 wasadjustments were recorded to real estate held for resale through Mt Melrose, LLC in order to properly reflect market value for those properties held at the end of the year. This adjustment was the result of 62 properties being transitioned to “held for resale” from “held for investment” as part of a portfolio redirection. See Note 5 for more information. Recent tax assessments, valuations, and local real estate agents were used to value this portfolio of held-for-sale properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, an impairment adjustment of $64,038 was recorded to real estate held for resale through EDI Real Estate, LLC in order to properly reflect market value for those properties held during the year. This adjustment was the result of a deteriorating building that was purchased by prior management in 1998. During the periodquarterly periods ended September 30, 2019, impairment adjustments of $42,407 were recorded on real estate held for resale through EDI Real Estate, LLC in order to properly reflect pending sales activity as of the period ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Real estate properties held for investment are carried at the cost basis plus additional costs where the cost extended the life of or added value to the property. Otherwise, the cost is expensed as incurred. Properties categorized as real estate held for investment are not expected by management to be sold in the next 12 months. This determination is periodically reviewed by management.

During the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, two residential rental properties within the EDI Real Estate, LLC portfolio wereMarch 31, 2020, $43,917 of real estate held for investment was transferred from “heldto real estate held for investment” to “held for resale” based on management’s intents.resale.

Leases

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), which. The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840 and established ASC Topic 842. ASU No. 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. Accordingly, atASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance using the inception of a contract we determine if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term; and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term; for finance leases, a portion of rent expense is classified as interest expense.following practical expedients:

 

the Company did not reassess if any expired or existing contracts are leases or contain leases;

the Company did not reassess the classification of any expired or existing leases; and

the Company did not reassess whether the classification of existing costs associated with expired or existing leases should be classified as initial direct costs.

The

Additionally, the Company has made certainongoing accounting policy elections whereby it (i) does not recognize ROUright-of-use (ROU) assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12 months or less) and (ii) combines lease and non-lease elements of theirour leases. In

Revenue Recognition

 

Asset Management Operations and Other Investment Revenue

 

The Company earns revenue from investments through various fee share and consulting agreements, as well as through realized and unrealized gains and losses, which may result in negative period or quarterly revenues. Management fees earned are recorded and paid out monthly and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Performance fees earned are accrued monthly, paid out annually, and are also included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Consulting fees are billed, outpaid, and recorded on a monthly after services have been performed. As long-term investments do not qualify as available-for-sale securities, long-termbasis. Long-term investments are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized as revenue in the period of adjustment.

 

Management notes that the structure of these arrangements leaves a very low possibility for nonperformance. While the amount of revenue varies from month to month, collectability is very high. No contract assets or liabilities are recognized or incurred.

 

Additionally, the Company earns revenue from direct investmentsparticipation in various private investment funds, primarily the Alluvial Fund. Due to the nature of the investment, the asset management segment recognizes revenue using specialized accounting guidance for investment companies.  This results in the realized and unrealized gains and losses within a fund such as the fundAlluvial Fund being recognized as revenue, or a decrease in revenue, on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Real Estate Revenue

 

The Company earns real estate revenue through rental agreements on real estate held for investment, as well as through the sale of real estate held for resale.

 

Rental revenue from real estate held for investment is recognized when it is earned, generally on the last day of each month or at another regular period agreed upon by the Company and the tenant. Tenants generally provide a security deposit at the time of possession. This deposit is held separately from revenue and only applied to revenue when rental payment comparable to the security deposit amount is not provided in a timely manner and considered unlikely to be recovered. Otherwise, the security deposit is returned in a timely manner after the property is surrendered back to the Company. Management has concluded that the nature of the performance obligation is cyclical and predictable with a very low possibility for nonperformance. No contract assets or liabilities are recognized or incurred.

 

Revenue from real estate held for resale is recognized upon closing of the sale (transfer of control), as all conditions for full revenue recognition have been met at that time. All costs associated with the property sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and charged to cost of revenue at that time.

 

Internet Revenue

 

The Company sells internet services under annual and monthly contracts. Under the annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under the monthly contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the period to which the service relates. Domain name registration revenue is recognized at the point of registration. Sales of computer hardware are recognized as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. Management has concluded that the nature of the performance obligation is cyclical with a very low possibility for nonperformance. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) were recognized in the amount of collections received in advance of services to be performed. No contract assets or liabilities arewere recognized or incurred.

 

The Company generates revenue in its internet operations segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services for downstream ISPs, web hosting, third-party software as a reseller, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic, and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may also subscribe to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. Internet revenue is affected by the changing composition of revenue sources. In some years, this shift can be significant.

Discontinued Revenue - Home Services Revenue

 

Prior to the saledivestiture transaction on May 24, 2019, the Company performed HVAC and plumbing service repairs and installed HVAC units for its customers through its home services operations segment. Revenue was recognized upon completion of the installation or service call. Sales were adjusted for any returns or allowances. A return or allowance situation would arise based on the two-year workmanship warranty that typically conveyed with the installation of a new unit. There was also a two-year assurance warranty on newly installed parts and equipment that was honored by the manufacturer. If an installation was performed over multiple days, then it was accounted for using work-in-process (WIP) accounting in accordance with GAAP.accounting. Contract progress was measured by comparing materials and labor hours incurred to materials and labor hours expected per the contract. These types of contracts were typically completed within one month’s time. A small portion of revenue was from the sale of annual service agreements. Revenue attributable to these agreements was appropriately recognized over the life of the agreement.

 

If payment was received prior to contract completion, then the amount of revenue attributable to the unperformed work was designated as unearned revenue. If payment was not provided in advance or at the time of service or installation completion, then the amount due was recognized as revenue and as an account receivable.

 

Management has acknowledged that these performance obligations were recognized at designated points in time during the contract, including the completion of each contract, whether it be at a point in time or over a period of time.the contract. As the customer controlled the asset and had the right to use it during the contract, the Company had the right to payment for performance completed to date. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) were recognized in the amount of collections received in advance of services to be performed. No contract assets or liabilities were recognized or incurred.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet or real estate rentalhome services to be performed. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations have been met.in the period service is provided. Total deferred revenue from continuing operations decreased from $204,960 at December 31, 2019 to $201,430 at March 31, 2020. During the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $127,957 and $126,393, respectively, of revenue from continuing operations was recognized from prior-year contract liabilities (deferred revenue).

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment, inclusive of the recent tax reform act. The most recent three tax years, fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018,, December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016,2017, are open to potential IRS examination.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The basicBasic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

In periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all potentially dilutive common shares is anti-dilutive. In periods of net income, diluted earnings per share is computed using the more dilutive of the “two class method” or the “treasury method.” Dilutive earnings per share under the “two class method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders as adjusted for the participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all other potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying common stock equity incentives. Dilutive earnings per share under the “treasury method” are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted averageweighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares outstanding. Diluted income perunderlying common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except thatstock equity incentives.

None of the denominator is increased to includepotentially dilutive securities had a dilutive impact during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020. No potentially dilutive securities existed for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (Topic 805). The amendments in the update provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in the update (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output, and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. Lastly, the amendments in the update narrow the definition of the term output so that the term is consistent with how outputs are described in Topic 606. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption was permitted under certain criteria. The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, this ASU on January 1, 2018. While this ASU did notwould have a material effect on the Company’saccompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements on the date of adoption, the Company did follow the new guidance in determining that its acquisition of properties from Old Mt. Melrose in January 2018 was an asset acquisition. See Note 5 for additional information.statements.

NOTE 3. HOME SERVICES SUBSIDIARY ASSET SALE

 

On May 24, 2019, as perreported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 28, 2019, the Company completed an asset sale transactiona divestiture of its Home Services Operations, via its subsidiary, Specialty Contracting Group, LLC (formerly known as HVAC Value Fund, LLC), to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser, Rooter Hero Plumbing, Inc. (“Rooter Hero”). In the transaction, the Company sold and conveyed all of the subsidiary’s personal property and customer lists and records, excluding stock inventory and other current assets. As part of the transaction, Rooter Hero assumed the subsidiary’s obligations under lease and/or loan agreements for all outstanding vehicles and equipment, as well as the obligations to service all of the subsidiary’s remaining customer accounts going forward. No cash consideration was exchanged in the transaction. AsRather, as consideration for the transaction, Rooter Hero willagreed to pay monthly royalties for the next sixty (60) months following the closing, calculated on the basis of any revenue received from the customer accounts sold.transferred. Under such royalty arrangements, the Company will receive 7.5% of any monthly revenue generated from qualified sales during the first year, and 5% of any monthly revenue during years two through five. Royalties received will be reduced by pre-approved warranty-related costs for select customers.

 

As reported in prior periods, the home services subsidiary had failed to meet approved budgets and had underperformed since its inception in 2016. Management noted that the largely decentralized management approach was not a good fit for this industry, and the extensive operating requirements were not conducive to smaller company capacities. The cyclical nature of the business also resulted in unpredictable cash flows, which created immediate and significant needs for additional Company resources. Due to the past performance of the company, management determined that additional resources should not be allocated to this subsidiary. 

The decision was made to exit the business during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The operations of Specialty Contracting Group, LLC arewere considered a component of, and the sale reflectsdivestiture reflected a strategic shift in, the Company’s business. As such, Specialty Contracting Group, LLC'sLLC’s historical operations are nowhave been classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements. The asset sale of the home services subsidiary resulted in an initial pre-tax loss of $1,158,733, which has been included on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in discontinued operations and under the home services segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. The loss from discontinued operations has been determined using a loss recovery approach, as the “Loss Recovery Approach.”collection of future royalties is uncertain and a reasonable estimate could not be made. This approach requires that the contingent consideration, the future royalties to be received, be valued at the lesser of the amount of the “probable,” defined as a greater than 50% likelihood, future proceeds or the carrying value of the disposed assets. Due to the unpredictability of the contingent consideration, and management’s inherent lack of control over the buyer’s operations, management determined it would not be most prudent notreasonable to attempt to value the contingent consideration. This resulted in assigning the contingent consideration a current valuation of zero. As and to the extent any royalties are deemed probable, they will be subsequently recognized as a “gain“recovery from discontinued operations” on the statements of operations and will offset, or recover, the initial loss recorded. Accordingly, during the periodquarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, an offsetting $12,183 gain$11,019 recovery on discontinued operations is includedwas recognized within the $31,151 reported loss on reported $10,756 of net income from discontinued operations.

NOTE 4. SALE OF CONTROLLING INTEREST IN REAL ESTATE SUBSIDIARY

 

Transaction

On June 27, 2019, the Company sold 65% of its membership interest in Mt Melrose, LLC to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser, Woodmont Lexington, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Woodmont”). As consideration for the transaction, Woodmont paid the Company $100,000 and agreed to assume full responsibility for the management and operation of Mt Melrose and its real estate portfolio. The Company has retained a 35% membership interest in Mt Melrose, with Woodmont owning the other 65% membership interest. Subsequent to the transaction, however, Woodmont, as the manager of Mt Melrose, has purported that the Company’s membership interest in Mt Melrose has been diluted to 20.8%. The Company disputes this assertion and maintains that it has retained its 35% membership interest.

The

Prior to this transaction, the Company had grown uncomfortable with the extreme amounts of high-priced debt that the Mt Melrose subsidiary had taken on. There were significant principal payments due over the next 12 months at the subsidiary level that the portfolio’s cash flows could not offset and the Company’s corporate entityCompany was unwilling to subsidize. As reported in previous quarterly and annual reports, onin November 1, 2018 management implemented a right-sizing strategy for the Mt Melrose portfolio. This strategy included the hiring of a dedicated third-party property manager, a restructuring of overhead expenses, the divestiture of non-cash-flowing properties, and a focus on refinancing high-interest debt. The property manager was responsible for all day-to-day operations including, but not limited to: tenant relations and communications, property repairs and renovations, vacancy marketing, and turnover procedures. This allowed management to remain passive operationally and focus on property sales and refinancing opportunities. Subsequent to the sale on June 27, 2019, the property manager continues to fulfill the day-to-day operational responsibilities, and, to management’s knowledge, Woodmont continues to act on management’s previous right-sizing efforts by liquidating non-cash-flowing properties and pursuing refinancing options.

 

In connection with thethis transaction, the Company and Woodmont entered into a certain Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Mt Melrose, LLC dated June 27, 2019 (the “A&R LLC Agreement”). The A&R LLC Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions governing the arrangements between the two members. The A&R LLC Agreement provides that the business and affairs of Mt Melrose will be managed exclusively by one or more managers; and Woodmont is designated as the sole manager. In addition, the Company has expressly agreed to a three-year “standstill” arrangement, during which time the Company will not in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in the management or control of Mt Melrose; and with respect to any matters requiring a vote of the members, the Company will vote with (i.e., the same as) Woodmont. This arrangement allows the Company to maintain its passive management structure, while still owning a significant portion of the partnership.

 

Under the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement, distributions of cash, from whatever source, may be made to the members at such times, and in such amounts, as the manager, Woodmont, determines; provided, however, that any such distributions will be made in accordance with the following priorities: (i) distribution of amounts up to a cumulative total of $2,000,000 will be made pro rata in accordance with the members’ respective percentage interests (as expressly specified in the A&R LLC Agreement); (ii) then, distribution of cumulative amounts in excess of $2,000,000 and up to $3,000,000 will be made 67% to the Company and 33% to Woodmont; and (iii) thereafter, distribution of cumulative amounts in excess of $3,000,000 will be made pro rata in accordance with the members’ respective percentage interests (as expressly specified in the A&R LLC Agreement).

 

Deconsolidation Due to Transfer of Control

 

Prior to the sale of 65% of its Mt Melrose interest, the Company owedowned 100% of the membership interests in Mt Melrose, LLC and controlled the entity by virtue of its voting interests. As a result, the Company consolidated Mt Melrose under the “voting interests” (“VOE”)(VOE) consolidation model.

 

By virtue of the revisedA&R LLC operating agreement,Agreement, and the aforementioned standstill agreement, Woodmont is the sole “manager” responsible for all management and operating decisions of Mt Melrose. Management determined that as of June 30,27, 2019, the Company no longer has a “controlling financial interest” in Mt Melrose and will no longer consolidate Mt Melrose. Furthermore, the Company has concluded that Mt Melrose does not qualify as a “variable interest entity” as Mt Melrose has sufficient equity at risk to permit operations and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Mt Melrose’s activities. All activity prior to the deconsolidation event has been included on the accompanying unaudited condensedour consolidated statements of operations for the period ended September 30, 2019,given prior reporting periods in continuing operations, and under the real estate segment. As of June 30,27, 2019, all previously consolidated assets and liabilities of Mt Melrose, LLC have been removed from the accompanying unaudited condensedour consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s 35% membership interest in Mt Melrose willis now be accounted for as an investment in the equity of Mt Melrose in the Company’s reported financial statements.

 

Accounting for Remaining Mt Melrose Investment

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2016-01 generally requires entities to measure equity investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. However, entities are able to elect a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have a “readily determinable fair value.” The Company has determined that its equity investment in Mt Melrose does not have a readily determinable fair value at the time of deconsolidation. The Company’s inability to “exercise significant influence” due to the previously mentioned standstill agreement, also supports the use of the measurement alternative. Under this alternative, the Company will measure the Mt Melrose investment at its implied fair value and assess it for impairment at each reporting date, or more often if indication of a potential impairment exists. When fair value becomes determinable, from observable price changes in orderly transactions, the Company’s investment will be marked to fair value on a periodic basis. Future dividends will be recognized as income and returns of capital recognized as a reduction in the Company’s investment when and if received.

 

Using the $100,000 transaction price for a 65% interest in Mt Melrose, LLC, the implied value of the retained 35% interest at the time of the transaction is $53,846. This amount is included under the long-term investment amount on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for the period ended September 30,as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Effective on June 27, 2019, the Company recognized a loss on the partial sale of Mt Melrose in the amount of $3,519,053, which has been reported separately on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in continuing operations and under the other segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. The amount of the loss is based upon the value of the Company’s remaining interest in the subsidiary, less the Company’s previous carrying value of the subsidiary.

NOTE 5. ASSET ACQUISITION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES

Historical Acquisition

On December 10, 2017, the Company entered into a certain Master Real Estate Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mt. Melrose, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“Old Mt. Melrose”), that owned and managed a portfolio of residential real estate in Lexington, Kentucky. Old Mt. Melrose was owned by Jeffrey I. Moore (“Moore”), a former Company director.

On January 10, 2018, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Mt Melrose, LLC (“New Mt Melrose”), completed the first acquisition of 44 residential and other income-producing real properties under the Purchase Agreement for a total purchase price of $3,956,389, which consisted of $500,000 in cash, 120,602 shares of common stock valued at $1,658,270, and the assumption of $1,798,119 of existing debt.

The Company accounted for the initial purchase of properties as an asset acquisition (consisting of a concentrated group of similarly identifiable assets, including land, buildings, improvements, and in-place leases) following the guidance contained in ASU No. 2017-01. The total purchase price, along with approximately $45,250 of transaction expenses, was allocated to the land and buildings acquired based on their relative fair values, as follows:

Land

 $800,328 

Buildings

  3,201,311 

Total Value

 $4,001,639 

On June 29, 2018, New Mt Melrose completed the second acquisition of 69 residential and other income-producing real properties under the Purchase Agreement for a total purchase price of $5,174,722, which consisted of 148,158 shares of common stock valued at $2,407,564, and the assumption of $2,767,158 of existing debt.

The Company accounted for the second purchase of properties as an asset acquisition (consisting of a concentrated group of similarly identifiable assets, including land, buildings, improvements, and in-place leases) following the guidance contained in ASU No. 2017-01. The total purchase price, along with approximately $7,394 of transaction expenses, was allocated to the land and buildings acquired based on their relative fair values, as follows:

Land

 $1,036,423 

Buildings

  4,145,692 

Total Value

 $5,182,115 

Pursuant to that certain Termination of Master Real Estate Asset Purchase Agreement entered into effective November 1, 2018, between the Company and Old Mt. Melrose, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Purchase Agreement as of November 1, 2018. Accordingly, neither the Company nor New Mt Melrose has any further rights or obligations concerning additional acquisitions of real properties from Old Mt. Melrose under the Purchase Agreement. A third-party property manager was engaged as of November 1, 2018, to manage certain of the real properties previously acquired. Management determined that it was necessary to right-size New Mt Melrose operations to reduce its level of high-interest debt. Accordingly, New Mt Melrose began to immediately sell various properties with an emphasis on selling properties that have high-interest-rate loans and do not produce income. 

In an effort to expedite the optimization of the Mt Melrose portfolio, management determined that a dedicated operator was necessary to manage the subsidiary. On June 27, 2019, as per the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2019, the Company sold 65% of its membership interest in Mt Melrose, LLC to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser, Woodmont Lexington, LLC (“Woodmont”). As consideration for the transaction, Woodmont paid the Company $100,000 and agreed to assume full responsibility for the management and operation of Mt Melrose and its real estate portfolio.  The Company has retained a 35% membership interest in Mt Melrose, with Woodmont owning the other 65% membership interest.  See Note 4 for more information.

Historical Variable Interests

As of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018, the Company had determined that Old Mt. Melrose was a “variable interest entity” because Moore’s equity interests in Old Mt. Melrose were not effective in determining whether Moore or New Mt Melrose had a controlling financial interest, and that New Mt Melrose’s rights under a certain Cash Flow Agreement that had been entered into on January 10, 2018 with Old Mt. Melrose (the “Cash Flow Agreement”) were deemed to be variable interests in Old Mt. Melrose. At those times, the Company had determined that New Mt Melrose was the primary beneficiary of Old Mt. Melrose since substantially all of Old Mt. Melrose’s activities had been conducted on behalf of New Mt Melrose and because New Mt Melrose may have been required to provide financial support to Old Mt. Melrose under the Cash Flow Agreement. As its primary beneficiary, New Mt Melrose previously consolidated Old Mt. Melrose’s financial results beginning on January 10, 2018. The fair values of the assets and liabilities of Old Mt. Melrose had been allocated accordingly on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018. As noted on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity during those quarters, the ending noncontrolling interest allocated to the variable interest entity represented the remaining equity held by Old Mt. Melrose for properties that had not yet been acquired under the Purchase Agreement. The ending noncontrolling interest amount also included any income or loss generated by the remaining properties that were to be acquired under the Purchase Agreement for the period then ended.

As of November 1, 2018, pursuant to the termination of the Master Real Estate Asset Purchase Agreement and Cash Flow Agreement noted above, New Mt Melrose was no longer the primary beneficiary of Old Mt. Melrose. Additionally, as of November 1, 2018, New Mt Melrose no longer had a controlling financial interest in Old Mt. Melrose. Consequently, as of November 1, 2018, the Company no longer consolidates the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Old Mt. Melrose, and the balance of noncontrolling interest as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, is appropriately reflected as zero on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 6.5. INVESTMENTS

 

Certain assets held through the Company, Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC, Enterprise Diversified, Inc., or EDI Real Estate, LLC do not have a readily determinable value, as these investments are not publicly traded, nor do they have published sales records. The investmentsinvestment in Alluvial Fund, LP Bonhoeffer Fund, LP, and Willow Oak Select Fund, LP areis measured using net asset value (NAV) as the practical expedient and areis exempt from the fair value hierarchy. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and allocated based on total fund contributions. Due to the nature of the Mt Melrose, LLC (subsequent to the loss of control resulting from the sale of 65% of the equity in New Mt Melrose on June 27, 2019 (see Note 4)) and Huckleberry Real Estate Fund II, LLC investments, the investments are measured at cost basis as cost approximates fair value is not determinable until additional inputs and measurements become available.

NOTE 7.6. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820GAAP defines fair value as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820date, and establishes a hierarchy for disclosing assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the inputs used to value them. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:

 

 

Level 1: Inputs1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Thisaccess; this category includes exchange-traded mutual funds and equity securities.securities;

 

 

Level 2: Inputs2 - inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.indirectly; Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates or yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Thisintervals; this category includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. agency and municipal debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and derivative contracts.contracts; and

 

 

Level 3: Inputs3 - inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Theliability; the measurements are highly subjective.

On September 19, 2016, the Company, through Willow Oak, announced that it had entered into a letter of intent agreement with Alluvial Capital Management, LLC (“Alluvial Capital”) to make a seed investment through Willow Oak Asset Management in Alluvial Fund, LP, a private investment partnership that was launched by Alluvial Capital on January 1, 2017 (“Alluvial Fund”). Alluvial Capital acts as the general partner and the Company, through Willow Oak Asset Management, has invested in Alluvial Fund as a limited partner.

On January 1, 2018, pursuant to an amendment to the Alluvial Side Letter Agreement, dated December 15, 2017, Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC withdrew $3,000,000 from its $10,000,000 investment in Alluvial Fund, LP in order to partially fund the first close of the Mt Melrose Transaction. Arquitos Capital Partners, LP, which is managed by our director and principal executive officer Steven L.

The Arquitos investment into Alluvial counts toward Willow Oak’s seed investment total for purposes of Willow Oak’s agreement with Alluvial.

ENDI created a wholly owned subsidiary named Mt Melrose, LLC (“New Mt Melrose”) on January 10, 2018, which has acquired a portfolio of residential and other income-producing real estate in Lexington, Kentucky, pursuant to a certain Master Real Estate Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on December 10, 2017, with a like-named seller, Mt.

NOTE 14. SHARE ADJUSTMENT, CANCELLATION AND SALE OF TREASURY SHARES, AND REVERSE STOCK SPLITOther: Mt Melrose-related Proceedings

 

CancellationVarious disputes have arisen and Saleare continuing between the Company and Woodmont Lexington, LLC (“Woodmont”), the entity to whom the Company sold, on June 27, 2019, 65% of Treasury Sharesthe Company’s membership interest in Mt Melrose, LLC (“Mt Melrose”). 

In undertaking a sale of its membership interests in Mt Melrose, the Company had sought to partner with an operator who, in exchange for being granted a substantial equity interest at a significant discount to the amounts the Company had invested in Mt Melrose, would assume full responsibility for the management and operation of Mt Melrose and its real estate portfolio and endeavor in good faith to generate favorable returns inuring to the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Shortly following the closing of the Mt Melrose transaction, however, the relationship between the Company and Woodmont soured. Woodmont, by its representative, Tice Brown, unexpectedly proceeded to make numerous claims and demands upon the Company, which the Company determined to be unfounded and frivolous, if not disingenuous to the parties’ understandings. Woodmont also has submitted four formal claims for indemnification under the parties’ purchase agreement, each of which were considered by the Company and then rejected and disputed in short order as unfounded.

In addition, Woodmont, acting as the sole manager of Mt Melrose, purported to unilaterally amend and restate as of August 29, 2019 the Mt Melrose limited liability company agreement among the parties, purporting to change the terms of the distribution waterfall the parties had expressly agreed to and purporting to reallocate the parties’ respective interests in Mt Melrose – unilaterally reducing the Company’s percentage membership interest from 35% to 20.8% while increasing Woodmont’s percentage membership interest from 65% to 79.2%. The Company has rejected and disputed these purported changes and Woodmont’s conduct.

In connection with the primary disputes between the Company and Woodmont and following the Company’s Delaware Action (as defined below), on December 5, 2019, Woodmont also filed a verified complaint in the Fayette County, Kentucky Circuit Court against the Company and a third party who was then-under contract with the Company for such party’s purchase of the Company’s warehouse and associated real property located in Lexington, Kentucky – seeWoodmont Lexington, LLC, et al. v. Enterprise Diversified, et al., Fayette Circuit Court, Civil Action No. 19-CI-04304 (the “Kentucky Action”). The Court in the Kentucky Action enjoined the Company and the warehouse purchaser from removing or cleaning out the various items of building materials and salvage owned by Mt Melrose that had been placed in the warehouse premises, and required the Company and the warehouse purchaser to provide rent-free access so that Woodmont and Mt Melrose could realize “full value” on their liquidation of the stored personal property until February 1, 2020. The Company believes that Woodmont’s attempt to hold up the sale of an $850,000 warehouse and property because it wanted to store spare toilets, doors, floor tiles and other residential building materials there, rent free, for more than six months, was disingenuous and intentionally injurious to the Company. On December 27, 2019, the Company filed verified counter-claims in the Kentucky Action against Woodmont, alleging, among other things, Woodmont’s tortious interference with the Company’s business and Woodmont’s unjust enrichment. The Company is seeking, among other relief available against Woodmont, declaratory relief; trial by jury on all issues; money damages, including all special and consequential damages, in amounts to be determined at trial; and the Company’s costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees; together with pre- and post-judgement interest.The parties to the Kentucky Action have recently engaged in settlement negotiations, although they have not been successful. This action remains pending in the Fayette County, Kentucky Circuit Court.

All the while, since the closing of the Mt Melrose transaction, Woodmont, by its representative, Tice Brown, has made repeated “low ball” offers to buy out the Company’s remaining interest in Mt Melrose, insisting that the Company relinquish its Mt Melrose interest in order to avoid further claims and demands and in order to avoid threatened public disparagement (including by way of statements made on various social media by Woodmont’s representative, Tice Brown). All such offers have been rejected or not responded to by the Company, as being unfavorable, undesirable and not in the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

On May 26, 2018,January 7, 2020, Woodmont, acting as the sole manager of Mt Melrose, also caused Mt Melrose to distribute a $600,000 cash dividend directly to Woodmont. Woodmont expressly excluded the Company signed a stock purchase agreement with an unaffiliated third partyfrom receiving any portion of this distribution. The Company has rejected and disputed the propriety of this distribution and Woodmont’s conduct.

The Company believes that Woodmont, directly and by its representative, Tice Brown, has engaged, and continues to sell 1,633,500 shares ofengage, in intentionally injurious and harassing conduct concerning Mt Melrose that runs counter to the Company’s common stock held as treasury shares to such party for $0.11036586 per share. The settlement date for the sale was July 31, 2018. The number of shares transferred on the settlement date was adjusted for the Company’s reverse stock split to 13,068 shares. To the extent that this sale of previously registered shares held as treasury shares required an exemption from registration, this sale of shares of common stocklong-term best interests of the Company was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D Rule 506,its shareholders. Accordingly, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Reverse Stock Split

As previously reported in ourthe Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 7, 2018, the Board of Directors ofNovember 20, 2019, the Company previously approved, on March 29, 2018,filed a reverse stock splitverified complaint in the Court of all of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to which every 125 shares of Common Stock of the Company were reverse split, reconstituted, and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Stock Split”). To effectuate the aforesaid Reverse Stock Split, the Company previously filed on May 23, 2018, a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.209 (the “Certificate of Change”) with the Secretary of StateChancery of the State of Nevada,Delaware on November 20, 2019, commencing a civil action against Woodmont – seeCivil Action No. 2019-0928-JTL (the “Delaware Action”). The Delaware Action was filed by the Company in response to the repeated claims and demands and injurious conduct by Woodmont and its representative, Tice Brown. On March 9, 2020, the Company filed further an amended verified complaint against Woodmont in the Delaware Action, expanding its claims against Woodmont. On April 6, 2020, Woodmont filed an answer to the complaint in the Delaware Action, along with a specified effective filing dateverified counter-claims against the Company for Woodmont’s previously-asserted claims for indemnification under the parties’ purchase agreement. The Company is seeking, among other relief available against Woodmont, injunctive, declaratory and equitable relief, and relief for, among other things, Woodmont’s breaches of June 1, 2018.contract and unjust enrichment, along with attorneys’ fees and expenses. This action remains pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

 

The Company submitted an Issuer Company Related Action Notification regardingManagement intends to vigorously prosecute the Reverse Stock Split toCompany’s claims, and defend the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on May 22, 2018.  FINRA declared the Reverse Stock Split effectiveCompany’s rights, against Woodmont and its representative, Tice Brown, in the marketplace July 23, 2018 (the “FINRA Effective Date”).  Accordingly, while the Certificateall of Change became effective under Nevada state corporate law on June 1, 2018, the Reverse Stock Split did not become effective as to shareholders or the marketplace until the FINRA Effective Date.   these Mt Melrose-related proceedings.

cable modems, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) programs, and fiber. These competitors have extensive scale and significantly more resources than Sitestar.net. Competitors often offer incentives for customers to purchase internet access by offering discounts for bundled service offerings (i.e., phone, television, Internet). While we are a reseller of broadband services including DSL and fiber services, our profit margin is heavily influenced by these competitive forces.

There are currently laws and regulations directly applicable to access or commerce on the internet, covering issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, characteristics and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights, information security, and the convergence of traditional telecommunications services with Internet communications.

For the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s remaining investment in Mt Melrose is carried on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for $53,846.

By way of the Mt Melrose transaction, the Company was able to significantly reduce direct and overhead expenses, improve net cash flows, and fully deconsolidate approximately $6.4 million of debt. Additionally, the Company was afforded the opportunity to refocus growth opportunities to its asset management operations segment. These circumstances, rather than the cash consideration received, are what strategically prompted the majority sale of the Mt Melrose entity. Additional debt restructurings and sales of previously inactive real estate properties have allowed the portfolio to continue its redirection, which management believes will provide long-term returns greater than its current carrying value.

Discussion Regarding COVID-19 Potential Impacts

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced, and continues to expect, market volatility as it relates to its investment in the Alluvial Fund. As reported during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, this volatility can create periods when the asset management operations segment produces negative revenue amounts. Due to the size of the investment, these negative revenue amounts can also have a sizable impact on the Company’s balance sheets at a given point-in-time. The nature of this investment has inherent market risks, and while short-term results can be unpredictable, the Company’s overall investment strategy continues to be ultra-long-term focused. These periods of volatility do not have significant short-term cash flow impacts on the Company.

Management continues to monitor and assess all Company operations for additional potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, the Company has not been forced to make significant operational changes as a result of the pandemic. Management does not anticipate additional challenges in meeting existing obligations, nor do we expect significant customer or vendor interruptions. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately may impact our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations likely will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on employees, customers and service providers, as well as the U.S. economy, and the actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objective. Based upon this evaluation, and based upon material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified as of the date of our most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

 

Changes in Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (f/k/a Sitestar Corporation) v. Frank Erhartic, Jr.

 

On April 12, 2016, the Company filed a civil action complaint against Frank Erhartic, Jr. (the “Former Erhartic CEO”), the Company’s former CEO and director (prior to December 14, 2015) and currently an owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock, alleging, among other things, that the Former Erhartic CEO engaged in, and caused the Company to engage in to its detriment, a series of unauthorized and wrongful related-partyrelated party transactions, including causing the Company to borrow certain amounts from the Former Erhartic CEO’s mother unnecessarily and at a commercially unreasonable rate of interest, converting certain funds of the Company for personal rent payments to the Former Erhartic CEO, commingling in land trusts certain real properties owned by the Company and real properties owned by the Former Erhartic CEO, causing the Company to pay certain amounts to the Former Erhartic CEO for lease payments under an unauthorized lease as to a storage facility owned by the Former Erhartic CEO, causing the Company to pay rent on its corporate headquarters owned by the Former Erhartic CEO’s ex-wife in amounts commercially unreasonable and excessive, and to make real estate tax payments thereon for the personal benefit of the Former Erhartic CEO, converting to the Former Erhartic CEO and/or absconding with five motor vehicles owned by the Company, causing the Company to pay real property and personal property taxes on numerous properties owned personally by the Former Erhartic CEO, causing the Company to pay personal credit card debt of the Former Erhartic CEO, causing the Company to significantly overpay the Former Erhartic CEO’s health and dental insurance for the benefit of the Former Erhartic CEO, and causing the Company to pay the Former Erhartic CEO’s personal automobile insurance. The Company is seeking, among other relief available, monetary damages in excess of $350,000. This litigation matter is currently pending in the Circuit Court for the City of Lynchburg (Lynchburg, Virginia).

 

Other: Mt Melrose-related Proceedings

Various disputes have arisen and are continuing between the Company and Woodmont Lexington, LLC (“Woodmont”), the entity to whom the Company sold, on June 27, 2019, 65% of the Company’s membership interest in Mt Melrose, LLC (“Mt Melrose”). 

In undertaking a sale of its membership interests in Mt Melrose, the Company had sought to partner with an operator who, in exchange for being granted a substantial equity interest at a significant discount to the amounts the Company had invested in Mt Melrose, would assume full responsibility for the management and operation of Mt Melrose and its real estate portfolio and endeavor in good faith to generate favorable returns inuring to the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Shortly following the closing of the Mt Melrose transaction, however, the relationship between the Company and Woodmont soured. Woodmont, by its representative, Tice Brown, unexpectedly proceeded to make numerous claims and demands upon the Company, which the Company determined to be unfounded and frivolous, if not disingenuous to the parties’ understandings. Woodmont also has submitted four formal claims for indemnification under the parties’ purchase agreement, each of which were considered by the Company and then rejected and disputed in short order as unfounded.

In addition, Woodmont, acting as the sole manager of Mt Melrose, purported to unilaterally amend and restate as of August 29, 2019 the Mt Melrose limited liability company agreement among the parties, purporting to change the terms of the distribution waterfall the parties had expressly agreed to and purporting to reallocate the parties’ respective interests in Mt Melrose – unilaterally reducing the Company’s percentage membership interest from 35% to 20.8% while increasing Woodmont’s percentage membership interest from 65% to 79.2%. The Company has rejected and disputed these purported changes and Woodmont’s conduct.                    

In connection with the primary disputes between the Company and Woodmont and following the Company’s Delaware Action (as defined below), on December 5, 2019, Woodmont also filed a verified complaint in the Fayette County, Kentucky Circuit Court against the Company and a third party who was then-under contract with the Company for such party’s purchase of the Company’s warehouse and associated real property located in Lexington, Kentucky – seeWoodmont Lexington, LLC, et al. v. Enterprise Diversified, et al., Fayette Circuit Court, Civil Action No. 19-CI-04304 (the “Kentucky Action”). The Court in the Kentucky Action enjoined the Company and the warehouse purchaser from removing or cleaning out the various items of building materials and salvage owned by Mt Melrose that had been placed in the warehouse premises, and required the Company and the warehouse purchaser to provide rent-free access so that Woodmont and Mt Melrose could realize “full value” on their liquidation of the stored personal property until February 1, 2020. The Company believes that Woodmont’s attempt to hold up the sale of an $850,000 warehouse and property because it wanted to store spare toilets, doors, floor tiles and other residential building materials there, rent free, for more than six months, was disingenuous and intentionally injurious to the Company. On December 27, 2019, the Company filed verified counter-claims in the Kentucky Action against Woodmont, alleging, among other things, Woodmont’s tortious interference with the Company’s business and Woodmont’s unjust enrichment. The Company is seeking, among other relief available against Woodmont, declaratory relief; trial by jury on all issues; money damages, including all special and consequential damages, in amounts to be determined at trial; and the Company’s costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees; together with pre- and post-judgement interest.The parties to the Kentucky Action have recently engaged in settlement negotiations, although they have not been successful. This action remains pending in the Fayette County, Kentucky Circuit Court.             

All the while, since the closing of the Mt Melrose transaction, Woodmont, by its representative, Tice Brown, has made repeated “low ball” offers to buy out the Company’s remaining interest in Mt Melrose, insisting that the Company relinquish its Mt Melrose interest in order to avoid further claims and demands and in order to avoid threatened public disparagement (including by way of statements made on various social media by Woodmont’s representative, Tice Brown). All such offers have been rejected or not responded to by the Company, as being unfavorable, undesirable, and not in the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

On January 7, 2020, Woodmont, acting as the sole manager of Mt Melrose, also caused Mt Melrose to distribute a $600,000 cash dividend directly to Woodmont. Woodmont expressly excluded the Company from receiving any portion of this distribution. The Company has rejected and disputed the propriety of this distribution and Woodmont’s conduct.

The Company believes that Woodmont, directly and by its representative, Tice Brown, has engaged, and continues to engage, in intentionally injurious and harassing conduct concerning Mt Melrose that runs counter to the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2019, the Company filed a verified complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on November 20, 2019, commencing a civil action against Woodmont – seeCivil Action No. 2019-0928-JTL (the “Delaware Action”). The Delaware Action was filed by the Company in response to the repeated claims and demands and injurious conduct by Woodmont and its representative, Tice Brown. On March 9, 2020, the Company filed further an amended verified complaint against Woodmont in the Delaware Action, expanding its claims against Woodmont. On April 6, 2020, Woodmont filed an answer to the complaint in the Delaware Action, along with verified counter-claims against the Company for Woodmont’s previously-asserted claims for indemnification under the parties’ purchase agreement. The Company is seeking, among other relief available against Woodmont, injunctive, declaratory and equitable relief, and relief for, among other things, Woodmont’s breaches of contract and unjust enrichment, along with attorneys’ fees and expenses. This action remains pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Management intends to vigorously prosecute the Company’s claims, and defend the Company’s rights, against Woodmont and its representative, Tice Brown, in all of these Mt Melrose-related proceedings.
