three-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. You should refer to the Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction
with this discussion.
Results
of Operations
General
We
commenced operations in March 2015, which, until June 2015, were limited to organizational and business development activities.
We began implementing our business plan in June 2015. We are real estate advisory and consulting company that assists real estate
investor professionals, as well as established companies, with advisory and consulting services focused on providing research,
analysis and acquisition opportunities to them. In August 2016, we launched a real estate acquisitions division, which specializes
in student housing income properties and the development of real estate opportunities located near Los Angeles Metro stations
within the Los Angeles Metro/Subway system.
On
August 18, 2016, we entered into a purchase contract (the Zinnia Agreement”) with Zinnia Investments, LLC (“Zinnia”),
a Wyoming limited liability company, which was 100% owned by Esteban Coaloa. On January 3, 2017, Zinnia amended its operating
agreement to admit Jacaranda Investments, Inc. (“Jacaranda”) as a 45% member and the Marisol Trust, Lorenzo Soria,
as Trustee, as a 10% member. On January 3, 2017, all of the members of Zinnia approved the sale of Zinnia to us. Jacaranda is
100% owned by our Chairman and CEO and Esteban Coaloa was our Vice President until his death in 2017. Under the terms of the Zinnia
Agreement, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Zinnia for $910,695 (the “Purchase Price”). Zinnia’s
sole asset is the real property located at 2909 South Catalina Street, Los Angeles, California (the “Property”). Under
the terms of the Zinnia Agreement, our consideration for the Purchase Price is: (1) a $655,000 All Inclusive Deed of Trust, secured
by the Property, and a promissory note (the “Note”), which bears interest at 6%, interest only, with $145,000 due
in one (1) year and the balance due on in two (2) years; and (2) 270,000 share of our Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock at
an issuance price of $1.00 per share, for $270,000 (the “Zinnia Preferred Stock”). The interest rate on the Note will
decrease to the greater of 3.5%, principal and interest or the 11
th
District Cost of Funds Index plus 2.8% principal
and interest, rounded up to the nearest 0.125% and adjusted every six (6) months starting the 1
st
day of month 6 following
the $145,000 payoff, and adjusting every 6 months thereafter. The Zinnia Preferred Stock is convertible into our common stock
at the lesser of $0.50 per share or a 10% discount to the average closing price of our common stock for the five (5) days prior
to the holders’ date of conversion. The Zinnia Preferred Stock pays a 5% dividend in-kind, annually. Under the terms of
the Zinnia Agreement, the closing was subject to our verification of title, rental income and our satisfaction with the completion
and results of Zinnia’s audited financial statements. On April 10, 2017, we closed the acquisition of Zinnia.
On
September 26, 2016, we entered into a purchase contract (the Akebia Agreement”) with Akebia Investments, LLC (“Akebia”),
a Wyoming limited liability company, which was 100% owned by Esteban Coaloa, our former Vice President. On January 2, 2017, Akebia
amended its operating agreement and admitted Jacaranda as a 90% member. On January 2, 2017, all of the members of Akebia approved
the sale to us. Jacaranda and Esteban Coaloa are related parties as described above. We agreed to acquire 100% of the membership
interests of Akebia for $882,463 (the “Purchase Price”). Akebia’s sole asset is the real property located at
3711 South Western Avenue, Los Angeles, California (the “Akebia Property”). The terms of the Akebia Agreement, our
consideration for the Purchase Price is: (1) a $710,000 All Inclusive Deed of Trust, secured by the Akebia Property and a promissory
note (the “Akebia Note”), which bears interest at 6%, interest only, with $100,000 due in one (1) year and the balance
due on August 1, 2019; and (2) 180,000 shares of our Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock at an issuance price of $1.00 per share,
for $180,000 (the “Akebia Preferred Stock”). After the $100,000 is paid off, the interest rate on the balance of the
note will decrease to 4% principal and interest. The Akebia Preferred Stock is convertible into our common stock at the lesser
of $0.50 per share or a 10% discount to the average closing price of our common stock for the five (5) days prior to the holders’
date of conversion. The Akebia Preferred Stock pays a 5% dividend in-kind, annually. Under the terms of the Akebia Agreement,
the closing was subject to our verification of title, rental income and our satisfaction with the completion and results of Akebia’s
audited financial statements. On April 10, 2017, we closed the acquisition of Akebia.
During
the 6 months ended June 30, 2018, we installed Solar Panels at 3711 S. Western Ave, Los Angeles (“Western”). The cost
was $28,300 of which we borrowed $26,500 at 6%. Western is a master metered property for utilities.
We
expect to reduce our electric utility bill at Western by approximately $5,000 per year. After providing for the cost of the loan
we expect to recover the money in approximately 7 to 8 years. The value of the property also increased by approximately $100,000
because of the increase to the bottom line.
Our
mission statement is Strategic Growth through Smart Ventures, which is designed to focus us on real estate opportunities that
we believe are recession proof and have limited downside risk, while offering high upside potential in equity appreciation and
cash flow. We will also continue to assist investors and professionals in the early stage analysis of market opportunities and
the evaluation of properties prior to them committing capital for the purchase or the leasing of real estate properties. For our
consulting services, we are focusing our marketing efforts in the commercial markets; however, we are also looking at residential
and income producing markets. We are using the Internet as well as the services of independent sales consultants to market our
services to investors and professionals in Southern California with our primary efforts focused in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles
near the University of Southern California campus. Our real estate acquisitions division will actively be pursuing real estate
acquisitions near the University of Southern California campus. We have had limited consulting operations and have limited financial
resources.
We
are offering services to investors and professionals with the mission to assist them in investment and property evaluation strategies
and provide hands-on support to reduce evaluation time and resources and increase the speed for them to determine whether to proceed
with a real estate lease or investment. Besides general property evaluation services, we are offering services to assist the principals
with property development ideas and investment structure.

In
addition to executing two purchase contracts and expanding our staff, we updated and launched our website and began marketing
the company on various social media platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
As
of June 30, 2018, we had $11,975 cash on hand and in the bank. Management does not believe this amount will satisfy our cash requirements
for the next twelve months. We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements - primarily the working capital required for operations
by loans from our shareholders or additional equity financing from related or third parties. The additional equity financings
will likely be in the form of private placements of common stock. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has borrowed $407,400
from its majority shareholder.
Management
believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate sales revenue within the following twelve months
thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail
to satisfy our future cash requirements.
If
we are unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through a private placement offering, we will then have to seek additional
funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new development stage company with nominal assets to secure.
Therefore, we are highly dependent upon the success of a future private placement offering and failure thereof would result in
our having to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to us. However, if such
financing were available, because we are a startup company with no operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional
costs associated with high-risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required,
management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth
and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of our common stock or secure debt financing,
we would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment.
At
the present time, we intend to seek various investors to obtain additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in obtaining additional capital from these negotiations. If are unable to raise additional capital, we will
either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph
and the preceding paragraphs, we have no other financing plans.
We
are encouraged by the effectiveness under which our properties are operating. Net Operating Incme on our properties is much greater
than industry standards of competitive properties in similar locations. To continue to keep our costs low, management does not
plan to hire additional employees at this time. Our officers and directors, as well as independent contractors, will be responsible
for providing consulting services.
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial
statements for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, together with notes thereto, which are included in

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (
“GAAP”
). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective
interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported.
These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding
contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP
and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Areas
where significant estimation judgments are made and where actual results could differ materially from these estimates are the
carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources and the classification of net
operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.
The
following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated
financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
Management
has determined that all of the Company’s leases with its various tenants are operating leases. Rental income is generally
recognized based on the terms of leases entered into with tenants. In those instances, in which the Company funds tenant improvements
and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially
completed, and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant.
Asset
Impairment
We
review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the
asset to aggregate future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceed the fair value.
