Basis of Presentation
The accompanying (a) interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 ,2017, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the unaudited interim condensed consolidated information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2018. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 20162017 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 20162017 (the “2016“2017 Statements”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 -–Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2017 Statements.
Accounting Standards Adopted in the Period
Accounting Standards Update (“Note 2”ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (An Amendment of FASB ASC 825).” The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01 in January 2016, and it was intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with improved decision-making information. The amendments of ASU 2016-01 include: (i) requiring equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of an investee, to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; and (iii) clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
8 |
ASU 2016-01 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 added FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and superseded revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and certain cost guidance in FASB ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue should be recognized either over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the notesgoods or services is transferred to the 2016 Statements.customer. ASU 2014-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue
On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASU 2014-09, codified at ASC Topic 606. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no uncompleted customer contracts and, as a result, no cumulative transition adjustment was made during the first quarter of 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under legacy U.S. GAAP.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through interest earned on financial instruments, including loans, which falls outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. All of the Company’s revenue that is subject to ASC Topic 606 would be included in non-interest income; however, not all non-interest income is subject to ASC Topic 606. The Company had no contract liabilities or unsatisfied performance obligations with customers as of June 30, 2018.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation.
2. Fair Value
Utilizing Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 820, the Company has established a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP using a hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, as follows:
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair Value Measurements of Non-Financial Instruments on a Recurring Basis
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, theThe Company had no non-financialfinancial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Fair Value Measurementsbasis as of Non-Financial Instruments on a Non-Recurring Basis
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets consist of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and is recorded at the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value.
Impaired Loans
At June 30, 2017, the Company had impaired loans,2018 and on December 31, 2016, it had none.2017.
A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The analysis of impaired loans includes a comparison of estimated collateral value to the principal amount of the loan. If the value determined is less than the principal amount due (less any builder deposit), then the difference is included in the allowance for loan loss. As values change, estimated loan losses may be provided for more or less than the previous period. For homes which are partially complete, we appraise on an as-is and completed basis, and use the one that more closely aligns with our planned method of disposal for the property. For loans that are individually evaluated for impairment, appraisals have been prepared within the last 13 months. There are also broker’s opinions of value (“BOV”) prepared, if the appraisal is more than six months old. The lower of any BOV prepared in the last six months, or appraisal done in the last 13 months, is used, unless we determine a BOV to be invalid based on the comparable sales used. If we determine a BOV to be invalid, we will use the appraised value. Appraised values are adjusted down for estimated costs associated with asset disposal, generally between 0% and 5%, depending on the type of collateral. Fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.
The following tables present the balances of non-financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 requires disclosureThe Company had no impaired loans as of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Loans Receivable and Commitments to Extend Credit
For variable rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, estimated fair values are based on carrying values at both June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016. Because the loans are demand loans and therefore have no known time horizon, there is no significant impact from fluctuating interest rates. For unfunded commitments to extend credit, because there would be no adjustment between fair value and carrying amount for the amount if actually loaned, there is no adjustment to the amount before it is loaned. The amount for commitments to extend credit is not listed in the tables below because there is no difference between carrying value and fair value, and the amount is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a liability.
2017.
Interest Receivable
The fair value approximates the carrying value at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Customer Interest Escrow
The fair value of the customer interest escrow approximates the carrying value at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Borrowings under Credit Facilities
The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under credit facilities is estimated based on the expected cash flows discounted using the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. As all of the borrowings under credit facilities or the Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes issued pursuant to our public offering (the “Notes”) are either payable on demand or at similar rates to what the Company can borrow funds for today, the fair value of the borrowings is determined to approximate carrying value at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The interest on our Notes offering is paid to our Note holders either monthly or at the end of their investment, compounded on a monthly basis. For the same reasons as the determination for the principal balances on the Notes, the fair value approximates the carrying value for the interest as well. The interest payable makes up the bulk of our accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The table below is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments and the level of the fair value hierarchy (as discussed in Note 2) within which the fair value measurements are categorized at the periods indicated:

Commercial Construction and Development Loans
Pennsylvania Loans
We have three development loans (the “Pennsylvania Loans”) covering two developments. The loans are to the same borrowing group (the “Hoskins Group”). They are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with each other. Our total commitment amount under the Pennsylvania Loans is approximately $5,231 as of June 30, 2017, as described in more detail below. As such, we are currently reliant on a single developer and homebuilder for a significant portion of our revenues. As part of our agreement with the Hoskins Group, they invest in our preferred equity in an amount equal to $10 per closing of a lot payoff in the two developments.
The loans are secured by several first priority mortgages in residential building lots located in the subdivisions commonly known as the Hamlets of Springdale and the Tuscany Subdivision, both in Peters Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, as well as the Interest Escrow.

InDuring April 2018, we entered into a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement with a certain borrower who defaulted on a loan by failing to make an interest payment that was due. The Company reclassified $4,140, consisting of $3,897 of principal from Loan receivable, net and $243 of interest from Accrued interest receivable, to Foreclosed assets on the first quarterbalance sheet as of 2017, we purchased, for $625, a partially completed building. It is our intent to complete the building for operating purposes. As such, we invested $27 in related improvements to the building in the second quarter. No depreciation has been recorded as the building has not been placed in service. We anticipate another $400 in costs associated with this project.June 30, 2018.

The Series B Preferred Units have a fixed value which is their purchase price, and preferred liquidation and distribution rights.

The Hoskins Group’s Series B Preferred Units are also used as collateral for that group’s loans to the Company. There is no liquid market for the Series B Preferred Units, so we can give no assurance as to our ability to generate any amount of proceeds from that collateral. In December 2015, the Hoskins Group agreed to purchase 0.1 Series B Preferred Units for $10 at each closing of a lot to a third party in the Hamlets and Tuscany subdivision.

Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and some of the funding may come from the earlier repayment of the same loan (in the case of revolving lines), the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The Company has several Letters of Credit relating to development loans which are part of the unfunded commitment amount. Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit risk, and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $17,797$21,676 and $11,503$19,312 at June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

The Company plans to fund its new loan growth, unfunded commitment, and principal amounts due on its debt using various sources of funding. In July 2017, we sold a participating interest in the Pennsylvania Loans for $3,000 (see note 13), and became the borrower on a secured line of credit for $1,325. The combined $4,325 added to our liquidity. We sell 70% participating interests in most of the loans we create. The portions of loans sold already that has not been funded is $3,356. There are loans that we have designated for sale which, at 70% funding, will eventually provide $4,442 in liquidity, and there are loans we have not designated for sale, which, if sold at 70% funding, would eventually provide $3,387 in liquidity. In addition, the Company receives payoffs on loans, a portion of which is returned to the loan purchaser, if any. Also, the Company receives funds from new public offering sales, and many of the Notes which mature are renewed, reducing the funding needed.

13.12. Subsequent Events
On July 24, 2017, we entered into the Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to our Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with S.K. Funding, LLC (the “S.K. Funding”). The Agreement was originally entered into betweenManagement of the Company and Seven Kings Holdings, Inc. (“7Kings”). However, on or about May 7, 2015, 7Kings assigned its right and interest inhas evaluated subsequent events through August 8, 2018, the Agreement to S.K. Funding.date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
The purposeOn July 31, 2018, we redeemed all of our outstanding Series C Cumulative Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”), which were held by two investors. On August 1, 2018, we sold 12 of our Preferred Units to Daniel M. Wallach, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of managers, and his wife, Joyce S. Wallach, for the Sixth Amendment was to allow S.K. Funding to purchase portions of the Pennsylvania Loans for a purchasetotal price of $3,000 under parameters different from those specified in the Agreement. The Pennsylvania Loans purchased pursuant to the Sixth Amendment consist of a portion of the Hoskins Group loans. We will continue to service the Loans.$1,200.
The timing of the Company’s principal and interest payments to S.K. Funding under the Sixth Amendment, and S.K. Funding’s obligation to fund the Pennsylvania Loans, vary depending on the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans outstanding at any time. The Pennsylvania Loans had a principal amount in excess of $4,000 as of the effective date of the Sixth Amendment. While the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans exceeds $1,000, S.K. Funding must fund (by paying the Company) the amount by which the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans exceeds $1,000, with such total amount funded not exceeding $3,000. The interest rate accruing to S.K. Funding under the Sixth Amendment is 10.5% calculated on a 365/366 day basis. When the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans is less than $4,000, the Company will also repay S.K. Funding’s principal as principal payments are received on the Pennsylvania Loans from the underlying borrowers in the amount by which the total principal amount of the Pennsylvania Loans is less than $4,000 until S.K. Funding’s principal has been repaid in full. S.K. Funding will continue to be obligated, as described in this paragraph, to fund (by paying the Company) the Pennsylvania Loans for any increases in the outstanding balance of the Pennsylvania Loans up to no more than a total outstanding amount of $4,000.
The Sixth Amendment has a term of 24 months from the effective date and will automatically renew for additional six month terms unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew the Sixth Amendment at least six months prior to the end of a term. Further, no Protective Advances (as such term is defined in the Agreement) will be required with respect to the Pennsylvania Loans. S.K. Funding will have a priority position as compared to the Company in the case of a default by any of the borrowers.

Overview
We were organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2007 under the name 84 RE Partners, LLChad $41,819 and changed our name to Shepherd’s Finance, LLC on December 2, 2011. We converted to a Delaware limited liability company on March 29, 2012. Our business is focused on commercial lending to participants in the residential construction and development industry. We believe this market is underserved because of the lack of traditional lenders currently participating in the market. We are located in Jacksonville, Florida. Our operations are governed pursuant to our operating agreement.
From 2007 through the majority of 2011, we were the lessor in three commercial real estate leases with a then affiliate, 84 Lumber Company. Beginning in late 2011, we began commercial lending to residential homebuilders. Our current loan portfolio is described more fully in this section under the sub heading “Commercial Construction and Development Loans.” Since 2011, we have originated approximately 275 construction loans totaling $77,000. We currently have 10 paid employees, including our Executive Vice President of Operations. We currently use three employees to originate most of our new loans. Our office staff processes, underwrites, documents, and funds our loans. Our office staff also manages our investor relations and relationships with other debt holders. Our board of managers is comprised of Daniel M. Wallach and three independent managers — William Myrick, Eric A. Rauscher, and Kenneth R. Summers. Our officers are responsible for our day-to-day operations, while the board of managers is responsible for overseeing our business.
The commercial loans we extend are secured by mortgages on the underlying real estate. We extend and service commercial loans to small-to-medium sized homebuilders for the purchase of lots and/or the construction of homes thereon. In some circumstances, the lot is purchased with an older home on the lot which is then either removed or rehabilitated. If the home is rehabilitated, the loan is referred to as a “rehab” loan. We also extend and service loans for the purchase of undeveloped land and the development of that land into residential building lots. In addition, we may, depending on our cash position and the opportunities available to us, do none, any or all of the following: purchase defaulted unsecured debt from suppliers to homebuilders at a discount (and then secure that debt with real estate or other collateral), purchase defaulted secured debt from financial institutions at a discount, and purchase real estate in which we will operate our business. In February 2017, we purchased a building in which we intend to operate once renovation has been completed. We anticipate that renovation will be completed in the third quarter of 2017.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Wallach, has been in the housing industry since 1985. He was the CFO of a multi-billion dollar supplier of building materials to home builders for 11 years. He also was responsible for that company’s lending business for 20 years. During those years, he was responsible for the creation and implementation of many secured lending programs to builders. Some of these were performed fully by that company, and some were performed in partnership with banks. In general, the creation of all loans, and the resolution of defaulted loans, was his responsibility, whether the loans were company loans or loans in partnership with banks. Through these programs, he was responsible for the creation of approximately $2,000,000 in loans which generated interest spread of $50,000, after deducting for loan losses. Through the years, he managed the development of systems for reducing and managing the risks and losses on defaulted loans. Mr. Wallach also was responsible for that company’s unsecured debt to builders, which reached over $300,000 at its peak. He also gained experience in securing defaulted unsecured debt.
We had $28,972 and $20,091$30,043 in loan assets as of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2017,2018, we have 147245 construction loans in 1617 states with 5068 borrowers and haveseven development loans in three states with 4 borrowers. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had four and three development loans, respectively, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We have entered into two purchase and sale agreement relationships with third-parties to sell portions of our loans. The first loan portions sold under the program took place during the first quarter of 2015. These agreements have allowed us to increase our loan balances and commitments significantly. In January 2017, we entered into a line of credit agreement with a bank for $500, which we used at times during the first six months of 2017. In March 2017, we added a third class of equity, Series C cumulative preferred units (“Series C Preferred Units”Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Loans”). These Series C Preferred Units have a redemption feature after six years, and therefore appear as mezzanine equity on our financial statements.
We currently have eightvarious sources of capital:capital, detailed below:

Our net income increased for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 due primarily to increased loan originations which was partially offset by payroll cost increases due to an increase the number of employees, and an increase in our loan loss reserve.
Cash provided by operations was $425 as of June 30, 2018 as compared to $742 for the same period of 2017. Our decrease in operating cash flow in 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 was due to a decrease in customer interest escrow of $408 offset by an increase in net loan origination fee deferred of $97.
Critical Accounting Estimates
To assist in evaluating our consolidated financial statements, we describe below the critical accounting estimates that we use. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC, for more information on our critical accounting estimates. No material changes to our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2017 unless listed below.
Loan Losses
Loan losses, as applicable, are accounted for both on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations. On the consolidated statements of operations, management estimates the amount of losses to capture during the current year. This current period amount incurred is referred to as the loan loss provision. The calculation of our allowance for loan losses, which appears on our consolidated balance sheets, requires us to compile relevant data for use in a systematic approach to assess and estimate the amount of probable losses inherent in our commercial lending operations and to reflect that estimated risk in our allowance calculations. We use the policy summarized as follows:
We establish a collective reserve for all loans which are not more than 60 days past due at the end of a quarter. This collective reserve takes into account both historical information and a qualitative analysis of housing and other economic factors that may impact our future realized losses. For loans to one borrower with committed balances less than 10% of our total committed balances on all loans extended to all customers, we individually analyze for impairment all loans which are more than 60 days past due at the end of a quarter. For loans to one borrower with committed balances equal to or greater than 10% of our total committed balances on all loans extended to all customers, we individually analyze all loans for potential impairment. The analysis of loans, if required, includes a comparison of estimated collateral value to the principal amount of the loan. For impaired loans, if the value determined is less than the principal amount due (less any builder deposit), then the difference is included in the allowance for loan loss. As values change, estimated loan losses may be provided for more or less than the previous period, and some loans may not need a loss provision based on payment history. For homes which are partially complete, we appraise on an as-is and completed basis, and use the one that more closely aligns with our planned method of disposal for the property.
For loans greater than 12 months in age that are individually evaluated for impairment, appraisals have been prepared within the last 13 months. For all loans individually evaluated for impairment, there is also a broker’s opinions of value (“BOV”) prepared, if the appraisal is more than six months old. The lower of any BOV prepared in the last six months, or the most recent appraisal, is used, unless we determine a BOV to be invalid based on the comparable sales used. If we determine a BOV to be invalid, we will use the appraised value. Appraised values are adjusted down for estimated costs associated with asset disposal. Broker’s opinion of selling price, currently valid sales contracts on the subject property, or representative recent actual closings by the builder on similar properties may be used in place of a BOV.
Appraisers are state certified, and are selected by first attempting to utilize the appraiser who completed the original appraisal report. If that appraiser is unavailable or unreasonably expensive, we use another appraiser who appraises routinely in that geographic area. BOVs are created by real estate agents. We try to first select an agent we have worked with, and then, if that fails, we select another agent who works in that geographic area.
Fair value of collateral has the potential to impact the calculation of the loan loss provision.provision (the amount we have expensed over time in anticipation of loan losses we have not yet realized). Specifically, relevant to the allowance for loan loss reserve is the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the outstanding loan balances. Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Due to a rapidly changing economic market, an erratic housing market, the various methods that could be used to develop fair value estimates, and the various assumptions that could be used, determining the collateral’s fair value requires significant judgment.

Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets, as applicable, are accounted for both on the consolidated balance sheets and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. On the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, management estimates the amount of impairment to capture when a loan is converted to a foreclosed asset, the impairment when the value of an asset drops below its carrying amount, and any gain or loss upon final disposition of the asset. The calculation of the impairment, which appears on our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as a reduction in the asset, requires us to compile relevant data for use in a systematic approach to assess and estimate the value of the asset and therefore any required impairment thereof. We use the policy summarized as follows:
For properties which exist in the condition in which we intend to sell them, we obtain an appraisal of the asset’s current value. We reduce the appraised value by 10% to account for selling costs. This amount is used to initially record the asset. Typically, prior to the initial booking of the foreclosed asset, the loan has already been reserved to this level. If during ownership, the value of the foreclosed asset drops, an additional impairment is recorded. For assets that need to be improved prior to sale, the above calculation is performed at the time of the booking of the foreclosed asset (an appraisal “as-is”), but subsequent to that, we look at the to be completed value minus 10% and subtract off the estimated cost of remaining work to be done. If this results in additional impairment, it is booked in non-interest expense. For assets which are going to be improved, while the asset is a loan (before it becomes a foreclosed asset) the calculation of the specific loan loss reserve is done based on the to be completed value as compared to the book value plus estimated completion costs. This can result in an impairment at the initial booking of the foreclosed asset.
The fair value of real estate will impact our foreclosed asset value, which is bookedrecorded at 100% of fair value (after selling costs are deducted). Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

* Increases in the fair value of the foreclosed assets do not impact the carrying value, as the value generally is not “written up.” Those gains would be recognized at the sale of the asset.
Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs
We amortize our deferred financing costs based on the effective interest method. As such, we make estimates for the duration of the future investment proceeds we anticipate receiving from our Notes offering. If this estimate is determined to be incorrect in the future, the rate at which we are amortizing the deferred financing costs as interest expense would be adjusted.
Currently, we anticipate** Assumes a consistent average duration of 34 months for the Notes in our current offering. An increasing average duration over the remaining anticipated length of the Notes offering would decrease the amount of amortization reflected in interest in the next 12 months, and a decreasing average duration of investments over the remaining anticipated length would increase the amount reflected in the next 12 months.

Other Loss Contingencies
Other loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and thebook amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysisforeclosed assets of multiple forecasts that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third-parties such as courts, arbitrators, juries, or regulators.$5,636.
Accounting and Auditing Standards Applicable to “Emerging Growth Companies”
We are an “emerging growth company” under the recently enacted JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to: (1) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, (2) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (3) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, or (4) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012, unless the SEC determines otherwise. We intend to take advantage of such extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates. If we were to subsequently elect to instead comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
Other Significant Accounting Policies
Other significant accounting policies, not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements. Policies related to credit quality information, fair value measurements, offsetting assets and liabilities, related party transactions and revenue recognition require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple and recent changes in the authoritative guidance. Certain of these matters are among topics currently under reexamination or have recently been addressed by accounting standard setters and regulators. Specific conclusions have not been reached by these standard setters, and outcomes cannot be predicted with confidence. Also, see Notes 1 and 2 to our 2016 consolidated financial statements, as they discuss accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

There are three main components that can impact our interest spread:
●Difference between the interest rate received (on our loan assets) and the interest rate paid (on our borrowings). The loans we have originated have interest rates which are based on our cost of funds, with a minimum cost of funds of 5%. For most loans, the margin is fixed at 2%; however, for our development loans the margin is fixed at 7%. Future loans are anticipated to be originated at an increase of 1% to approximately the same 2%3% margin. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity). We anticipateFor the six months ended June 30, 2018, the difference between interest income and interest expense was 4% compared to 3% for the same period of 2017. The increase relates to an increase in default interest rate for the classified accruing loan during the first quarter of 2018.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 the difference between interest income and interest expense was 3%.We currently anticipate that the difference between our interest income and interest expense will continue to be between 3% and 4% duringfor the remainder of 2017.2018.
●Fee income. Fee income is displayed in the table above. The two loans originated in December 2011 had a net origination fee of $924. This fee was recognized over the life of the loans, and has been fully recognized as of August 2016. Our construction loans have a 5% fee on the amount we commit to lend, which is amortized over the expected life of each of those loans; however, we do not recognize a loan fee on our development loans. When loans pay backterminate quicker than their expected life, the remaining unrecognized fee is recognized upon the termination of the loan. OurWhen loans exceed their expected life, no additional fee income is recognized. In 2018 our fee income decreased as a percentage of our loan balance because the recognition of our loan fee on our development1% due to an increase in loans was completed in 2016. Ourthat exceeded their expected life. We currently anticipate that fee income increased as a percentage of our loan balance because construction loans increased as a percentage of our total balance, and the fee income on construction loans is generally higher than development loans. These two items resulted in relatively flat fee income when comparing periods from 2017 towill continue at the same period in 20166% rate for the remainder of 2018.

●Amount of nonperforming assets. Generally, we can have three types of nonperforming assets that negatively affect interest spread: loans not paying interest, foreclosed assets, and cash. LoansAll of our loans were paying interest in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.One loan was not paying interest can impact our interest spread. We had no such loans in the first three months of both 2017 and 2016, and two nonperforming loans in the second three month period of 2017. This caused a slight reduction in interest income on loans. Foreclosed assets do not have a monthly interest return. The difference between our average foreclosed asset balance in 2017 as compared to 2016 did not have a major impact on our performance.
Loan Loss Provision
We recorded $19 and $6 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively,2018.
Foreclosed assets do not provide a monthly interest return. In April 2018, we recorded $3,897 from Loan receivables, net to Foreclosed assets on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, which resulted in loss reserve provisiona negative impact on our interest spread.
The amount of nonperforming assets is expected to rise over the next twelve months, due to expected development costs related to our collective reserve (loans not individually impaired). Those numbers were $8foreclosed assets, anticipated foreclosure of assets, and ($2) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Theseidle cash increases were due to increases in loan balances. In the second quarter of 2017, we booked a specific reserve of $7 related to two of our nonperforming loans. No such reserve was made in the first six months of 2016. We anticipate that the collective reserve will increase as our balances rise throughout the remainder of 2017.anticipated large borrowing inflows.
Non-Interest Income
WeFor the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not recognize non-interest income compared to the same period of 2017. In the first six months of 2017, we sold a foreclosed asset in 2017 and recognized a gain of $77. In 2016, we foreclosed on a loan, which resulted in a gain of $44 being booked in the second quarter of 2016.We do not anticipate Non-interest income for 2018.

Legal and accounting expenses increased due to additional work performed related to the growth of the Company. Salaries and related expenses increased due to our hiring of 11 new employees, which was partially offset by a reduction in our CEO’s salary.
Impairment Loss on Foreclosed Assets
We had roughly twiceowned five foreclosed assets as many employees duringof June 30, 2018, compared four as of December 31, 2017. Three of the threeforeclosed assets are lots under construction and the remaining two have completed homes on the lots. We do not anticipate losses on the sale of foreclosed assets in the future; however, this may be subject to change based on the final selling price of the foreclosed assets.
Loan Loss Provision
Our loan loss provision increased $19 and $59 for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 as we did during2018 compared to $15 and $26 for the same periods of 2017 due to an increase in 2016, which increased our payrollloan balances and travel costs. We anticipate adding more staffqualitative reserve percentage as a result of the change in 2017. We will also have expenses related to operating from our new office in the second half of 2017. We added a loan document software package in the second half of 2016, and the amortization of that system is in Other SG&A. Loan expenses, mostly post closing title searches designed to ensure our mortgage is in first position, have increased with the increased volume of loans.housing values.

Consolidated Financial Position
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We try to avoid borrowing on our line of credit from affiliates. To accomplish this, we must carry some cash for liquidity. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $88 and $1,566, respectively, in cash. When we create new loans, they typically do not have significant outstanding loan balances for several months. In January 2017, we executed a line of credit with a bank with a maximum outstanding of $500, which lessens somewhat the amount of cash we carry on our books. We anticipate selling more participating interests in our loans in the third quarter of 2017, increasing our cash position. These sales will be to existing loan purchasers with us. We also anticipate closing on a secured line of credit in the third quarter of 2017, providing additional liquidity and funding. Cash balances were allowed to decline at the end of June, 2017 as we had commitments for additional secured financing of $4,325 which closed in July of 2017.
Deferred Financing Costs, Net
Our deferred financing costs are related to our public offering of unsecured Notes. The deferred financing costs are reflected as a reduction in the unsecured Notes offering liability. The first offering which was effective from October 2012 through September 2015 cost more to create than our second offering, which has been effective since September 2015. As the amortization is much more than the amount we are spending on the offerings during these same periods, the net deferred financing costs have been decreasing. This decrease is expected to continue for the remainder of 2017.

Loans Receivable
In December 2011, we originated two new loans and assumed a lender’s position on a third loan, which, net of unearned loan fees, had total balances of $4,050 and $4,082 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The development loans are referred to herein as the “Pennsylvania Loans.” The purpose of the loans was to develop two subdivisions in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Hamlets subdivision is a five phase subdivision of 81 lots, of which 63 have been developed and sold, 18 are developed and not sold, as of June 30, 2017. The Tuscany subdivision is a single phase 18 lot subdivision, with four lots remaining as of June 30, 2017. We are considering financing several more phases of these subdivisions. If we finance these additional phases, the balances will increase, and if we do not, the balances will decrease due to repayments.
As of June 30, 2017, we have 49 other borrowers, all of whom, along with the Hoskins Group, borrow money for the purpose of building new homes.

Property, PlantDuring April 2018, we entered into a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement (the “Deed Agreement”) with a certain borrower who defaulted on a loan by failing to make an interest payment that was due. As a result, the Company reclassified $4,140, consisting of $3,897 of principal from Loan receivable, net and Equipment
In$243 of interest from Accrued interest receivable, to Foreclosed assets on the first quarterbalance sheet as of 2017, we purchased a partially completed building, for $625, in which we plan to operate, and invested $27 in improvements to the building in the second quarter. No depreciation has been recorded as the building has not been placed in service. We anticipate another $400 in the third quarter of 2017 in costs associated with this project.June 30, 2018.
Customer Interest Escrow
The Pennsylvania Loans called for a funded interest escrow account (the “Interest Escrow”) which was funded with proceeds from the Pennsylvania Loans. The initial funding on the Interest Escrow was $450. The balance as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $311 and $541, respectively. To the extent the balance is available in the Interest Escrow, interest due on certain loans is deducted from the Interest Escrow on the date due. The Interest Escrow is increased by 20% of lot payoffs on the same loans, and by distributions on the Hoskins Group’s Series B preferred equity. All of these transactions are noncash to the extent that the total escrow amount does not need additional funding.
We have 44 and 16 other loans active as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, that also have interest escrows. The cumulative balance of all interest escrows other than the Pennsylvania Loans was $518 and $271 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We anticipate that the interest escrows for existing loans will reduce in the future as those loans use the escrow to cover interest costs. We anticipate that some new loans will increase the escrow. Overall, the escrow balance will reduce over time unless we increase our lending to the Hoskins Group for their development loans.

Purchase and Sale Agreements
We serviceIn March 2018, we entered into the loans we sell inSeventh Amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to our purchaseLoan Purchase and sale agreements. There is typically an unlimited right for us to call any loan sold, however in some cases of such call, a minimum of 4%Sale Agreement (the “S.K. Funding LPSA”) with S.K. Funding, LLC (“S.K. Funding”).
The purpose of the commitmentSeventh Amendment was to allow S.K. Funding to purchase a portion of the Pennsylvania Loans for a purchase price of $649 under parameters different from those specified in the S.K. Funding LPSA.
The timing of the Company’s principal and interest payments to S.K. Funding under the Seventh Amendment, and S.K. Funding’s obligation to fund the Pennsylvania Loans, vary depending on the total principal amount of the buyer must have been received by buyer, or we must make up the difference. Also, Builder FinancePennsylvania Loans outstanding at any time, as follows:
● | If the total principal amount exceeds $1,000, S.K. Funding must fund the amount between $1,000 and less than or equal to $3,500. | |
● | If the total principal amount is less than $4,500 the Company will also repay S.K. Funding’s principal as principal payments are received on the Pennsylvania Loans from the underlying borrowers in the amount by which the total principal amount is less than $4,500 until S.K. Funding’s principal has been repaid in full. | |
● | The interest rate accruing to S.K. Funding under the Seventh Amendment is 10.5% calculated on a 365/366-day basis. |
The Seventh Amendment has a put option, which is limitedterm of 24 months and will automatically renew for an additional six-month term unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to 10%renew at least six months prior to the end of a term. S.K. Funding will have a priority position as compared to the Company in the case of a default by any of the funding provided by Builder Finance under all loans purchased inborrowers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations are subjectprimary liquidity management objective is to certain risksmeet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and uncertainties, particularly relatedcustomers. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had 252 and 171, respectively, in combined loans outstanding, which totaled $44,803 and $32,375, respectively, in gross loan receivables outstanding. Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $21,676 and $19,312 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We anticipate a significant increase in our gross loans receivables over the concentration of12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018 by directly increasing originations through new and existing customers.
To fund our current operations, 23% ofcombined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt and equity, which are to a single customerdescribed in a single geographic region, as well as the evolution of the current economic environment and its impact on the United States real estate and housing markets. Both the concentration of risk and the economic environment could directly or indirectly cause or magnify losses related to certain transactions and access to and cost of adequate financing.following table:

The Company’s anticipated primary sourcesSecured debt, net of liquidity going forward are:
We generated net income of $354 and $332 fordeferred financing costs increased $9,414 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and cash flow from operations2018, which consisted of $742 and $298 for the same periods. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash on hand of $88 and $1,566, respectively, availability on our bank line of $0 and $0, respectively, and our outstanding debt totaled $24,724 and $19,695, respectively, of which $8,820 and $7,322 was secured, respectively. The secured amount is from ouran increase in loan purchase and sale agreements, balances on lines of credits with affiliates and mortgage payable of $6,887, $1,877 and $650, respectively. We anticipate increasing our secured debt by roughly half of the increase in loan asset balances over the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018 through our existing loan purchase and sale agreements.
The other half of the loan asset growth will come from a combination of increases in our unsecured debt and equity. Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $3,865 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which add liquidityconsisted of an increase in our Notes Program of $1,187 and allow usan increase in the balances of unsecured lines of credit of $2,678. We anticipate an increase in our unsecured debt through increased sales in the Notes Program to expandcover most of the increase in loan assets not covered by increases in our business. Assecured debt during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018.
Equity increased $255 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which consisted of an increase in Series C cumulative preferred units (“Series C Units”), Series B cumulative preferred units, and Class A common equity of $68, $40 and $147, respectively. We anticipate an increase in our equity during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2017 through the issuance of additional Series C Units. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we increased the amount of Series C Units outstanding by $1,097. If we do are not able to increase our equity through the issuance of additional Series C Units, we will look to our Notes Program for the increase. If we anticipate not being able to fund our projected increases in loan balances through the means listed above, we may reduce new loan originations to reduce need for additional funds.
Cash provided by operations was $425 as of June 30, 2018 as compared to $742 for the same period of 2017. Our decrease in operating cash flow in 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 andwas due to a decrease in customer interest escrow of $408 offset by an increase in net loan origination fee deferred of $97.

The total amount maturing through year ended December 31, 2016, the amount that we have not loaned, but are obligated to potentially lend to our customers based on our2019 is $33,284, which consists of secured borrowings of $20,429 and unsecured borrowings of $12,855.
Secured borrowings maturing through year ended December 30, 2019 significantly consists of loan purchase and sale agreements with them, was $17,797two loan purchasers (Builder Finance, Inc. and $11,503, respectively. S. K. Funding) and two lenders (Stephen Shuman and Paul Swanson).
The purchasers under the loan purchase and sale agreements have an unconditional obligation to fund loans once agreed to purchase; however, Builder Finance, Inc. has put options that could require us to (a) buy back loans after 12 months and (b) buy back 10% of the portfolio commitment value in any 12 months.
Our availability on ourlenders have lines of credit with the Company described as follows:
Stephen Shuman’s line of credit from our members was $1,500 at both June 30, 2017(“Shuman LOC”) is due July 2019 and December 31, 2016. Our members areunless terminated will automatically renew 60 days prior for an additional 12 months. If the Shuman LOC does not obligatedrenew, $1,325 will be due in July 2019, which we would expect to fund requests under our line of credit. The Company plans to fund its newthrough loan growth, unfunded commitment, and principal amounts due on its debt using various sources of funding. In July 2017, we sold a participating interest in the Hoskins Group loans for $3,000, and became the borrower on a securedpayoffs.
Paul Swanson’s line of credit (“Swanson LOC”) is due on December 31, 2018 and unless terminated will automatically renew 120 days prior for $1,325 (these itemsan additional 15 months. If the Swanson LOC does not renew, $4,000 will be due on December 31, 2018 and $3,000 will be due 120 days after, and which we would expect to fund through loan payoffs used as collateral for the line.
Unsecured borrowings due on December 31, 2018 consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $8,805 and $4,050, respectively. To the extent that Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program are mentionednot renewed upon maturity, we will be required to fund the maturities, which we anticipate funding through the issuance of new Notes in our Notes Program. Our other unsecured debt has historically renewed. For more information on other unsecured borrowings, see Note 5 – Borrowings. If other unsecured borrowings are not renewed in the first bullet point above). The combined $4,325 added tofuture, we anticipate funding such maturities through investments in our liquidity. We sell 70% participating interests in most of the loans we create. The portions of loans sold already that has not been funded is $3,356. There are loans that we have designated for sale which, at 70% funding, will eventually provide $4,442 in liquidity, and there are loans we have not designated for sale, which, if sold at 70% funding, would eventually provide $3,387 in liquidity. In addition, the Company receives payoffs on loans, a portion of which is returned to the loan purchaser, if any. Also, the Company receives funds from new public offering sales, and many of the notes which mature are renewed, reducing the funding neededNotes Program.

Inflation, Interest Rates, and Housing Starts
Since we are in the housing industry, we are affected by factors that impact that industry. Housing starts impact our customers’ ability to sell their homes. Faster sales generally mean higher effective interest rates for us, as the recognition of fees we charge is spread over a shorter period. Slower sales generally mean lower effective interest rates for us. Slower sales also are likely to increase the default rate we experience.
Housing inflation generally has a positive impact on our operations. When we lend initially, we are lending a percentage of a home’s expected value, based on historical sales. If those estimates prove to be low (in an inflationary market), the percentage we loaned of the value actually decreases, reducing potential losses on defaulted loans. The opposite is true in a deflationary housing price market. It is our opinion that values are average in many of the housing markets in the U.S. today, and our lending against these values is safer than loans made by financial institutions in 2006 to 2008.
Interest rates have several impacts on our business. First, rates affect housing (starts, home size, etc.). High long term interest rates may decrease housing starts, having the effects listed above. Higher interest rates will also affect our investors. We believe that there will be a spread between the rate our Notes yield to our investors and the rates the same investors could get on deposits at FDIC insured institutions. We also believe that the spread may need to widen if these rates rise. For instance, if we pay 7% above average CD rates when CDs are paying 0.5%, when CDs are paying 3%, we may have to have a larger than 7% difference. This may cause our lending rates, which are based on our cost of funds, to be uncompetitive. High interest rates may also increase builder defaults, as interest payments may become a higher portion of operating costs for the builder. Higher short term rates may increase the rates builders are charged by banks faster than our rates to the builder will grow, which might be a benefit for us. Below is a chart showing three year U.S. treasury rates, which are being used by us here to approximate CD rates. Short term interest rates have risen slightly but are generally low historically.
36 |
Housing prices are also generally correlated with housing starts, so that increases in housing starts usually coincide with increases in housing values, and the reverse is generally true. Below is a graph showing single family housing starts from 2000 through today.

To date, changes in housing starts, CD rates, and inflation have not had a material impact on our business.
