NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Alpha Investment Inc, formerly GoGo Baby, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 22, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.

 

On March 17, 2017, Omega Commercial Finance Corp. (“Omega”) purchased all 35,550,000 outstanding “restricted” shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Control Share Sale”) from Malcolm Hargrave (35,000,000 shares), DTH International Corporation (500,000 shares) and Lisa Foster (50,000 shares) for aggregate consideration of $295,000. The Control Share Sale was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered between Omega and Mr. Hargrave, acting individually and on behalf of the other selling stockholders. Upon completion of the Control Share Sale, a “Change in Control” of the Company took place and the Company became a subsidiary of Omega. The Company did not elect to apply push-down accounting. In connection therewith, Mr. Hargrave resigned as the Company’s sole director and officer and Omega, as the new majority stockholder of the Company, elected Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D. as President, Chairman of the Board and a director and Todd C. Buxton, Omega’s Chief Executive Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and a director.

 

In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to shift the focus of the Company’s business to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing its name from “Gogo Baby, Inc.” to “Alpha Investment Inc.” to better reflect the new business focus.   The name change and a corresponding change in the Company’s OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.

 

On January 31, 2019, the Company, through Jersey Walk Phase I, LLC, entered into a Sale of Membership Interest Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CMT Developers LLC (“CMT”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of CMT’s membership interests, in exchange for the issuance to CMT of 3,000,000 shares of common stock.  Through its ownership of CMT, the Company now holds title to an approximately six-acre parcel of land in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on which 274 luxury apartments are under construction in Phase 1 of the development with an additional 400 units to be added in Phase II of the development. Furthermore, the property has a September 20, 2018 MAI “As Is” appraised value of $44,800,000.  Moreover, the Company intends to complete a new appraisal for GAAP reporting requirements as a public company.

 

On March 11, 2019, the Company, through a newly formed LLC or Special Purpose Vehicle “SPV” called Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC executed an operating agreement with Alameda Partners LLC. Alameda Partners is a Utah Limited Liability Company that contributed $1,000,000 for 10% ownership of the SPV, and will be the managing member.  The capital shall be used to implement the strategy of acquiring commercial real estate performing notes and support other related growth initiatives and assets acquisitions for the Company of which is positioning for its up-listing to the NYSE. The Members of Alameda Partners LLC have decades of experiences in the commercial real estate industry as property developers, owners, and managers  and currently holds over $50-million in commercial real estate assets. They have been appointed as the Managing Members of the SPV, while ALPC controls and holds 90% ownership.  The special purpose vehicle was organized to acquire the membership interests, develop, own, hold, sell, lease, transfer, exchange, re-lend, manage and operate the underlying assets and conduct activities related thereto the ownership of commercial real estate mortgage notes and REO’s.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

 

8  

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations and loss contingences. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash Held in Escrow

 

The Company has $2,500,000 of restricted cash held in escrow from the sale of commons stock to an investor that has the right to require the Company to repurchase the common stock for $2,500,000 through June 2019.

 

Loans Receivable, net

 

The Company records its investments in loans receivable at cost less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.

 

When a loan receivable is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria. As of March 31, 2019, since all loans receivable are considered performing according to their payment terms, no accounts receivable aging schedule or credit quality indicators are necessary.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on its investments in real estate loans for estimated credit impairment.  Management’s estimate of losses is based on a number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan.  Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and are based on an assessment of certain factors, which may indicate estimated losses on the loans.  Actual losses on loans are recorded first as a reduction to the allowance for loan losses.  Generally, subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recognized as income.

 

Estimating allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect loan collections or taking possession of the property on an individual loan receivable basis.  Management determined that no allowance for loan losses was necessary as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment and fixtures will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated asset lives, 5 years.

 

9  

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-25, Income Taxes – Overall – Recognition (“ASC Topic 740-10-25”) with respect to the accounting for uncertainty of income tax positions. ASC Topic 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As December 31, 2018, tax years since 2013 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.

 

Revenue Recognition and Investment Income

 

Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans. The Company records interest income in accordance with ASC subtopic 835-30 "Imputation of Interest", using the effective interest method.

 

When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.

 

The Company suspends recognizing interest income when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all payments according to the contractual terms of the underlying agreements. Management considers all information available in assessing collectability. Collectability is measured on a receivable-by-receivable basis by either the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective rate, the observable market price for the receivable or the fair value of the collateral if the receivable is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous receivables, such as pre-settlement funding transactions, are collectively assessed for collectability. A receivable is charged off when in the Company's judgment, the receivable or portion of the receivable is considered uncollectible.

 

Payments received on past due receivables and finance receivables the Company has suspended recognizing interest income on are applied first to principal and then to accrued interest. Interest income on past due receivables and finance receivables, if received, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. Additionally, the Company generally does not resume recognition of interest income once it has been suspended.

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company holds a 10% interest in Paris Med, of which the remaining 90% interest is held by Omega.  Through December 31, 2018, the Company has provided 100% of the funding to Paris Med, which has provided a construction loan to a third party.  This loan receivable is the sole asset of Paris Med.

 

10  

 

 

The Company determined that Paris Med was a variable interest entity based on various qualitative and quantitative factors including but not limited to: 1) financing of Paris Med’s sole asset was received by the Company, which is disproportionate to the Company’s ownership interest and 2) the Company and Omega, a related party, organized the entity for the purpose of facilitating the Company’s activities.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary because it has provided substantially all of its financial support and is the only party at risk.  As of March 31, 2019, Paris Med has total assets of $558,000, consisting solely of advances made pursuant to its third party construction loan agreement, and had no liabilities.  See Note 3.  For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Paris Med had no activity.  The Company will evaluate its investments in Paris Med each reporting period to determine if it is still the primary beneficiary, and if no longer considered the primary beneficiary, deconsolidate Paris Med in the period in which circumstances change or events occur causing a change in its assessment.  The Company has not attributed any of its net loss or equity to non-controlling interest because Paris Med’s sole asset is amounts owed to the Company, which is eliminated in consolidation, and there was no material income earned or losses incurred to date by Paris Med.

 

Fair Value

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument. The carrying value of the Company’s loans receivable approximate fair value because their terms approximate market rates.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. 166,667 shares underlying convertible preferred stock and 350,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019, because their impact was anti-dilutive. 350,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2018.

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,  Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825- 10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The provisions of the update require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment. The update also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. It also eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The update requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by category and form on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, the update clarifies 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. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

11  

 

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842), Conforming Amendments Related to Leases . This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. The ASU requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses (“ECL”), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (ex. loans and held to maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (ex. commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable). The ECL should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating the ECL. The ASU also amends the current available for sale security impairment model for debt securities whereby credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments will be applied through a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently planning for the implementation of this accounting standard. It is too early to assess the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,  Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The amendments in this ASU clarify the proper classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments, including clarification on debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, among others. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is not presently involved in any litigation.

 

NOTE 6 – GOING CONCERN

 

Future issuances of the Company’s equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Company’s present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,629,940 as of March 31, 2019 and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Securing additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

 

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

1. Loans receivable - The Company has extended lines of credit and loans to related parties. See Note 3.

 

2. Management fee - During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omega Commercial Finance Corp was paid $162,500 in management fees pursuant to a corporate governance management agreement executed on June 1, 2017.  Omega is to provide services related to facilitating the introduction of potential investors for compensation of no less than $150,000 per year, not to exceed $300,000 per year.  The fee paid in 2019 is for services to be rendered throughout 2019. Accordingly, $121,875 is reflected in prepaid expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and $40,625 was recognized as expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s Incentive Plan provides for equity incentives to be granted to its employees, executive officers or directors or to key advisers or consultants. Equity incentives may be in the form of stock options with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the underlying Shares as determined pursuant to the Incentive Plan, restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The Incentive Plan is administered by the board of directors. 5,000,000 Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards under the Incentive Plan.  The number of shares so reserved automatically adjusts upward on January 1 of each year, so that the number of shares covered by the Incentive Plan is equal to 15% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2019, there are 1,375,000 shares available for issuance under the plan and no options outstanding.

 

Temporary Equity

 

On September 20, 2017, 166,667 shares of common stock were issued at a value of $15.00 per share to one company in exchange for cash of $2,500,000.  Pursuant to the subscription agreement the investor has the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares for $2.5 million at anytime through December 2017.  Accordingly, the amounts received are presented as a temporary equity as of December 31, 2018.  In December 2017, the Company negotiated and amended its agreement with the investor to extend this right through May 15, 2018. As part of this extension, the investor was granted warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $15.00 per share over a five-year term. Because the shares are classified as a temporary equity, and the investors rights to require repurchase of the shares initially expired in 2017 the Company recorded the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a discount against the proceeds to be amortized as interest expense through February 2018, the initial extension date.   In March 2018, the Company entered into a third amendment to the subscription agreement, extending the option period to May 15, 2018. The option was further extended in May and June 2018.  As consideration for the extensions, the Company’s parent company, Omega Commercial Finance Corporation, agreed to issue to the investor, 65,000 shares of its Series Z preferred stock, and the Company agreed to reimburse the investor for $21,894 of legal fees incurred related to the extension.  The Company estimated the fair value of the Series Z preferred stock based on recent sales for cash, and recorded additional discounts of $184,394, including the accrued legal fees, against the common stock to be amortized into interest expense through the extended expiration of the option in May 2018.  In October 2018, the option period was further extended to November 19, 2018.   As consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to allow the investor to direct the investment of the restricted cash into one more investment types, such stock, money market accounts or similar investments.  The investor was also granted the right to withdrawal any restricted cash in excess of $2.5 million.  In November 2018, the option was further extended to January 12, 2019.   In March 2019, the option period was extended to June 2019.   There is no remaining unamortized discount as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

On November 27, 2017, 16,667 shares of Series 2018 Convertible Preferred stock were issued at a value of $15.00 per share to one entity in exchange for cash of $250,000.  The shares have 350,000 warrants attached, each warrant entitling the holder to one additional share with an exercise date of up to 5 years from the issuance date of the shares. The preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable 10 years after issuance.  The Company allocated $236,897 the proceeds from the sale of the preferred stock to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount against the preferred stock and is to be amortized as a deemed dividend through the 10-year redemption date.  The balance of the preferred stock reflected in temporary equity as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $45,268 and $39,346, respectively, net of unamortized discounts of $205,311 and $211,233, respectively.

 

In November 2017, The Company also issued to the investor, 7,333 shares of Series 2018 Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the subscription agreement.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company has yet to receive the proceeds for these shares as presents the par value of these shares as subscription receivable.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series 2018 Convertible Preferred Stock to its chief executive officer as compensation for services provided.   The Company estimated the fair value of the shares, based on recent sales for cash, of $300,000, as compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Common Stock

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares for the acquisition of CMT. The shares were recorded based on the fair value of the underlying assets of CMT. See Note 1.

 

15  

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold 30,400 shares for gross proceeds of $456,000, of which $30,000 has yet to be received as of March 31, 2019 and is presented as subscription receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Preferred Stock

 

In November 2017, the Company’s board of directors designated 100,000 authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”). Each share of Series A has a par value of $15.00 and have no voting or dividend rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or wining up, the holders of Series A shares are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company, if any, ratably with the common stock holders. Each share of Series A is convertible within one year of issuance into two shares of common stock of the Company. At any time after 180 days of issuance, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Series A shares by paying cash, common stock, or a a combination of both an amount equal to the par value of the Series A shares. On the one-year anniversary of issuance, the Company has an obligation to redeem the Series A shares for an amount equal to the par value of the Series A shares.

 

In 2017, the Company sold 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for cash proceeds of $15,000. Because of the redemption obligation after one year, absent an election by the holders to convert, the Company has reflected the redemption amount as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Capital Contributions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omega Commercial Finance Corp made a cash contribution to the company of $87,100. This was classified as capital contribution and recorded in additional paid-in capital.

 

Sale of Minority Interest in Subsidiary

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold a 10% interest in a newly formed subsidiary for $1,000,000. See Note 1.

 

Common Stock Warrants

Overview

 

We intend to provide capital directly to borrowers seeking financing for commercial real estate properties either for refinancing or acquisitions. These loans will encompass originating performing commercial first mortgage loans, subordinate financings, and other commercial real estate-related debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to operate our business so that we do not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, we do not plan to primarily engage in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and we do not plan to acquire investment securities (such as the above-referenced commercial mortgage-backed securities) having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the Company’s total assets.

 

We expect to offer financing across a broad-spectrum of asset backed and commercial real asset type collateral at all points within an asset’s capital property type such as office, retail, industrial, multi-family, and hospitality. The Company will coordinate its lending initiatives with outside commercial real estate loan brokers, which have access to commercial real estate owners seeking financing or refinancing opportunities, and with loan origination firms that have borrowers seeking loans. We believe that this will enable ALPC to broaden its access to new Borrowers and to develop and implement financing solutions for these other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners. In the event the Company uses third party loan origination services and underwriters, the Company will cover these costs in accordance with industry standard fees.

Furthermore, Omega Commercial Finance Corporation, a publicly-held Wyoming corporation (“ Omega ”), who is the Company’s principal shareholder, has the ability to introduce financing transactions to the Company to develop and implement customized financing solutions for borrowers. As a publicly-held financial services holding company Omega is the owner of an umbrella of diversified financial service related companies.

 

On January 31, 2019, the Company, through Jersey Walk Phase I, LLC, entered into a Sale of Membership Interest Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with CMT Developers LLC (“ CMT ”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of CMT’s membership interests, in exchange for the issuance to CMT of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Through its ownership of CMT, the Company now holds title to an approximately six-acre parcel of land in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on which 274 luxury apartments are under construction in Phase 1 of the development with an additional 400 units to be added in Phase II of the development. Furthermore, the property has a September 20, 2018 MAI “As Is” appraised value of $44,800,000.  Moreover, the Company intends to complete a new appraisal for GAAP reporting requirements as a public company.

 

On March 11, 2019, the Company, through Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC, a special purpose vehicle (the “ SPV ”) entered into an operating agreement for the SPV (the “ SPV Operating Agreement ”) with Alameda Partners LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ Alameda Partners ”). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, Alameda Partners contributed $1,000,000 for a ten percent (10%) ownership interest in the SPV and will be the SPV’s manager. The capital is being used to implement the Company’s strategy of acquiring commercial real estate performing notes and support and asset acquisitions. The members of Alameda Partners have significant long-term experience in the commercial real estate industry as property developers, owners, and managers  and currently hold title to over $50-million in commercial real estate assets.

 

The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through its pending direct public offering (which has generated $456,000 in gross cash proceeds to date), from alternative offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully complete its pending direct public offering or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2018

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated approximately $27,000 in net investment income, compared to $8,000 in 2018, resulting from the amortization of loan origination fees received in the form of a notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $430,000, offset by the amortization of loan costs incurred.  All of the investment income was generated from the Company’s lending operations following completion of the Control Share Sale.  Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is presented net of $420,000 in service costs, primarily loan broker fees which are being amortized over the life of the related loans.  We incurred $243,349 in operating expenses during the 2019 period, compared to $53,962 in 2018, reflecting our increased level of operations. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $929,108 resulting from the amortization of the discount on redeemable common stock.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omega, the principal stockholder of the Company, made an additional capital contribution to the Company of $87,100, we sold a ten percent interest in the SPV to Alameda Partners for $1,000,000 and the Company received proceeds of $456,000 from the sale of 30,400 shares of common stock in our direct public offering.

 

The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through its pending direct public offering (which has generated 456,000 of gross cash proceeds to date), from alternative offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully complete its pending direct public offering or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives. Even if we are successful in raising additional financing, there is no assurance regarding the terms of any additional investment and any such investment or other strategic alternative would likely substantially dilute our current shareholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment and the useful lives of intangible assets.

 

Loans Receivable, net

 

The Company records its investments in loans receivable at cost less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.

 

19  

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws.  Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year.  In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies.  If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required.  Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.  For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level in that:

 

· We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
· We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transaction s, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Our president evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
