Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Shepherd’s Finance, LLC, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” or other similar words identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this report, including without limitation, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, trends affecting the markets in which we operate, our business, financial condition and growth strategies. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of the events described in “Risk Factors” occur, they could have an adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep these risk factors, as well as the other cautionary statements in this report and in our 2017Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 in mind.

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Information presented throughout these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) is in thousands of dollars.

 

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of Business

 

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC and subsidiary (the “Company”) was originally formed as a Pennsylvania limited liability company on May 10, 2007. The Company is athe sole member of a consolidating subsidiary, 84 REPA, LLC. The Company operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, as amended, by and among Daniel M. Wallach and the other members of the Company effective as of March 16, 2017.

 

As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company extends commercial loans to residential homebuilders (in 1721 states) to:

 

 construct single family homes,
 develop undeveloped land into residential building lots, and
 purchase and improve for sale older homes.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying (a) interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017,2018, 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, 2018.2019. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 20172018 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (the “2018 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (the “2017 Statements”“2018 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 20172018 Financial Statements.

 

Accounting Standards Adopted in the Period

 

Accounting Standards Update (“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.

8

 

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 goods or services is transferred to the 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.March 31, 2019.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation.

 

2. Fair Value

 

The Company had no financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

Overview

 

Net income for the first quarter of 2019 increased by $65 when compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in net income was mainly due to an increase in net interest income of $280, partially offset by increases in loan loss reserve and impairment of $82 and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $127. As of March 31, 2019, we had a total of 19 employees compared to 17 at March 31, 2018.

We had $41,819$49,991 and $30,043$46,490 in loan assets as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. AsIn addition, as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we have 245had 289 construction loans in 1721 states with 6875 borrowers and seven development loans in three states with 4three borrowers.

Our net incomeCash provided by operations increased $1,088 for the second quarter and sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2017 due primarily to increased loan originations which was partially offset by payroll cost increases due to anof 2018. Our 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 2018was due primarily to higher loan originations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

To assist in evaluating our interim condensed 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 2018 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, 20172018 unless listed below.

 

Loan Losses

 

Fair value of collateral has the potential to impact the calculation of the loan loss 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.

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%7%. For most loans, the margin is fixed at 2%3%; however, for our development loans the margin is fixed at 7%. Future loansLoans originated after June 30, 2018 are anticipated to be originated at an increase of 1% to approximately 3% margin, older loans are at a 2% margin. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity).

For the six monthsperiod ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the difference between interest income and interest expense was 4%on loans decreased by 1% compared to 3% forthe prior year’s same period due to foreclosed assets which we now own (and which are not paying interest) were performing loans in the same period of 2017.last year. The increase relates to an increase in defaultdifference between the interest rate forreceived on our loans and the classified accruing loan duringinterest we paid was 3%, as compared to 5%. The 3% is lower due to the first quarterdollar amount of 2018.loans that are not paying interest. The 5% from last year was higher than typical because of the dollar amount of loans we had paying default rate interest. Some of those loans have since paid off, and some have become foreclosed assets. While our stated margin is 3%, our actual is different because 1) some loans pay higher than the stated margin, 2) some loans are not paying interest, and 3) the dollar amount of loans may be different than the dollar amount of debt. Another factor that impacts this margin is the percentage of loans which are development loans paying the 7% margin.

 

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 3% for the remainder of 2018.2019. With the increase in our pricing which started with loans created in the third quarter of 2018, we anticipate our standard margin to be 3% on all future construction loans and 7% on all development loans which yields a blended margin of approximately 3.4%. These factors should yield us a spread in the low 3%’s until the foreclosed asset balance is reduced significantly, and then in the low 4%’s thereafter, assuming no other significant changes to our business. Our largest foreclosed asset, a property in Sarasota, Florida, is completed and on the market.

 

Fee income. Our construction loans have a 5% fee on the amount that 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 terminate quicker than their expected life, the remaining unrecognized fee is recognized upon the termination of the loan. When loans exceed their expected life, no additionalOur fee income is recognized. In 2018increased due to a modification fee charged to our fee income decreased 1% due tolargest customer of $125, and an increase in loans that exceeded their expected life. our loan turns.

We currently anticipate that fee income will continue at the same 6% ratebe 5% for the remainder of 2018.2019.

22

 

Amount of nonperforming assets. Generally, we can have threetwo types of nonperforming assets that negatively affect interest spread: loans not paying interest and foreclosed assets,assets.

21

As of March 31, 2019 and cash. All2018, $2,617 and $3,776, respectively, 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 ininterest. Slightly more than half of the six months ended June 30, 2018.2019 amount is due to the death of a customer.

 

Foreclosed assets do not provide a monthly interest return. In AprilAs of March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $3,897 from Loan receivables, net to Foreclosedhad $6,069 and $1,079, respectively, in foreclosed assets, on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, which resulted in a negative impact on our interest spread.

 

The amount of nonperforming assets is expected to riseincrease over the next twelve months,quarter due to expected development costs related tosome of the nonperforming loans becoming foreclosed assets, anticipated foreclosureand will decrease as we sell some of assets, and idle cash increases related to anticipated large borrowing inflows.those properties.

 

Non-Interest Income

For 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 and recognized a gain of $77. We do not anticipate Non-interest income for 2018.

Legal and accounting expensesOur SG&A expense increased $127 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to additional work performed relatedsignificantly 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.following:

Salaries and related expenses increased due to our hiring of additional employees; and
Loan and foreclosed asset expenses increased due to an increase in additional loan title and search fees related to higher originations and an increase in foreclosed asset expenses related to work performed to complete certain of our foreclosed assets.
These items were partially offset by a decrease in accounting expenses that resulted from changing audit firms based on a competitive proposal process.

 

Impairment Loss on Foreclosed Assets

 

We owned fivesix and four foreclosed assets as of June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, compared four as of December 31, 2017.respectively. Three of the foreclosed assets are lots under construction, one is a completed home, and the remaining two have completed homes on theare land 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. We finished our largest foreclosed asset in Sarasota, Florida and recorded an impairment of $80 during the quarter on that property.

 

Loan Loss Provision

 

Our loan loss provision increased $19 and $59by $7 for the quarter and six month ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, compared to $15 and $26 for the same periodsperiod of 20172018. In both quarters we increased our loan loss percentage on the collective reserve, and the increase of $7 was due to an increase inthe larger loan balances and qualitative reserve percentagein 2019 as a result of the change in housing values.compared to 2018.

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.

S.K. Funding will have a priority position as compared to the Company in the case of a default by any of the borrowers.

Redeemable Preferred Equity and Members’ Capital

 

We strive to maintain a reasonable (about 15%) balance between (1) redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital and (2) total assets. The ratio of redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital to assets was 10%11% as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 13%12% as of December 31, 2017.2018. We anticipate this ratio droppingfurther decreasing until more preferred equity is added. We are currently exploring potential increases in preferred equity.

 

In January 2018, our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Operations purchased 2% and 1% of our Class A common units; respectively, from our CEO. In March 2018, our Executive Vice President of Sales purchased 14.3% of our Class A common units from our CEO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity management objective is to meet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and customers. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we had 252296 and 171,268, respectively, in combined loans outstanding, which totaled $44,803$52,931 and $32,375,$49,127, 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$30,422 and $19,312$25,258 as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. We anticipate a significant increase in our gross loansloan receivables over the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 by directly increasing originations throughto new and existing customers.

 

To fund our combined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt, and equity, which are described in the following table:

Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $9,414$2,827 during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, which consisted of an increase in loan purchaseborrowings secured by loans and sale agreements, balances onforeclosed assets of $2,886 offset by a decrease in affiliate lines of credits with affiliates and mortgage payable of $6,887, $1,877 and $650, respectively.$59. We anticipate increasing our secured debt by roughly half of the increase in loan asset balances over the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 through our existing loan purchase and sale agreements.agreements and additional lines of credit.

 

TheWe anticipate that 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$596 during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018, which consistedMarch 31, 2019, unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs changed due to an increase in our Notes Programprogram of $1,187 and an increase$1,241, which was offset by a decrease in other unsecured debt of $645. The change in other unsecured debt was due to the balanceselimination of the of unsecured linesportion of the line of credit from Paul Swanson of $2,678.$1,014, which was off set by two new promissory notes of $369. We anticipate an increase in our unsecured debt through increased sales in the Notes Program to cover most of the increase in loan assets not covered by increases in our secured debt during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

 

Equity increased $255$379 during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, which consisted of an increase in Series C cumulative preferred units (“Series C Preferred Units”), Series B cumulative preferred units, and Class A common equity of $68, $40$72, $60, and $147,$247, respectively. We anticipate an increase in our equity during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2017March 31, 2019, through the issuance of additional Series C Preferred Units. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, we increased the amount of Series C Preferred Units outstanding by $1,097.$1,288. If we do are not able to increase our equity through the issuance of additional Series C Preferred Units, we will look to ourrely more heavily on raising additional funds through the Notes Program for the increase.Program. If we anticipate the ability to not being able to fund our projected increases in loan balances through the means listedas discussed 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 was 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 endedending December 31, 2019 is $33,284,$32,914, which consists of secured borrowings of $20,429$25,506 and unsecured borrowings of $12,855.$7,408.

 

Secured borrowings maturing through year endedending December 30,31, 2019 significantly consists of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance, Inc. and S. K. Funding)Funding, LLC) and two lenders (Stephen K. Shuman and Paul Swanson). Our secured borrowings are mostly showing as due by 2019 because the related collateral is demand loans. The following lists our secured facilities with maturity and renewal dates:

 

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 lenders have lines of credit with the Company described as follows:

Stephen Shuman’s line of credit (“Shuman LOC”) is due July 2019 and unless terminated will automatically renew 60 days prior for an additional 12 months. If the Shuman LOC does not renew, $1,325 will be due in July 2019, which we would expect to fund through loan payoffs.

Paul Swanson’s line of credit (“Swanson LOC”) is due on December 31, 2018 and unless terminated will automatically renew 120 days prior for an 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.

Swanson – $7,000 due April 2020, will automatically renew unless notice is given;
Shuman – $1,325 due July 2019, will automatically renew unless notice is given;
S. K. Funding, LLC – $3,500 of the total due July 2019, will automatically renew unless notice is given;
S. K. Funding, LLC – $3,408 no expiration date;
BuilderFinance, Inc. – $6,254 no expiration date;
London Financial Company, LLC – $3,250 due September 2019, renewal available;
Wallach LOC – $142 no expiration date;
Myrick LOC – $616 no expiration date; and
Mortgage payable – $645.

 

Unsecured borrowings due on December 31, 20182019 consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $8,805$5,521 and $4,050,$1,887, respectively. To the extent that Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program are not renewedreinvested upon maturity, we will be required to fund the maturities, which we anticipate funding through the issuance of new Notes in our Notes Program. Historically, approximately 82% of our Note holders reinvest upon maturity. 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 future, we anticipate funding such maturities through investments in our Notes Program.

 

To help manage our liquidity, we:Summary

 

do not offer demand deposits (for instance, a checking account). We manage the duration of our Notes through the interest rates we offer at any time;
fund loan requests with varying sources of capital, not just from proceeds of our Notes Program; and
match our interest rate to our borrower to our cost of funds.

The following table containsWe have the funding available to address the loans we have today, including our unfunded commitments. We anticipate growing our assets through the net sources and uses (12-month liquidity) listed above as well as future capital increases from debt, redeemable preferred equity, and regular equity. Although our secured debt is almost entirely listed as currently due because of liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2018underlying collateral being demand notes, the vast majority of our secured debt is either contractually set to automatically renew unless notice is given or, in the case of purchase and 2017:sale agreements, has no end date as to when the purchasers will not purchase new loans (although they are never required to purchase additional loans).

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.

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.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During 2018, we hired a Vice President of Administrative Operations and Product Development to further implement segregation of duties. In addition, we placed into service an internally developed proprietary software system to assist in the management of our Notes Program, which replaced an electronic spreadsheet system. The development of the proprietary software system was designed in part to enhance the overall system of internal controls over financial reporting through further automation of various business processes. Except for the above-mentioned items thereThere has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
