Business
Energea Portfolio 2 LLC ("Company")
is a limited liability company, treated as a corporation for tax purposes, and organized
under the laws of Delaware. The Company and its day-to-day operations are
managed by Energea Global LLC ("Manager"). The Company was created to
invest in the acquisition, development, and operations of community solar
energy projects in Brazil (each a "Project"). The Projects will be
rented to groups of residential households and to businesses (which we collectively
refer to as "Subscribers") for monthly payments based on the amount of
electricity produced by the Project credited to them. Although some Subscribers
will default, we expect them to be replaced quickly by others, allowing the
Projects to produce a stable and predictable stream of cash flow.
Projects will be owned by
special-purpose entities (each, an "SPE"). Each SPE is organized as a Brazilian
Limitada or Ltda, the Brazilian equivalent of a U.S. limited liability company.
Under Brazilian law, the assets and liabilities of a Ltda are distinct. Thus,
the liabilities of a Project held in one SPE will not affect the assets of
another Project held in a different SPE.
Typically, the Company owns
100% of each SPE, although there could be instances where the Company is a
partner in a SPE with another party, such as the Development Company (defined
below). In all cases, the Company exercises complete management control over
the SPE.
Each of our Projects are
structured around five main contracts which the Manager causes the SPE to enter
into:
|
·
|
Land Lease: The SPEs lease (rather than buy) the land where
the Project is located, pursuant to a contract we refer to as a "Land
Lease."
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Construction Contract: To build the Projects, the SPE hires a third party
to provide engineering, procurement, and construction services pursuant to a
contract we refer to as a "Construction Contract."
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Project Rental Contract: In all cases, the SPEs rent the Projects to
Subscribers (so that the Subscriber is, in form, generating its own solar
power) pursuant to a contract we refer to as a "Project Rental Contract."
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Operations and
Maintenance Contract: As the SPE
rents the Project to a Subscriber pursuant to a Project Rental Contract, the
Subscriber simultaneously hires the SPE to operate and maintain the Project
pursuant to a contract referred to as an "Operations and Maintenance
Contract."
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Project Maintenance
Contract: The SPE then hires a
third party to operate and maintain the Projects pursuant to a contract we
refer to as a "Project Maintenance Contract." In some cases, the SPE
may hire a subsidiary of Energea to operate and maintain the Projects.
|
Each of these contracts are
bi-lingual, both in English and in Portuguese, the national language of Brazil.
Although the final terms and conditions might differ from Project to Project,
the rights and obligations of the parties will generally be consistent across
all of the Projects.
The revenue from our Projects
consists primarily of the payments we receive from Subscribers under Project
Rental Contracts and Project Operations and Maintenance Contracts. The Projects
will make a profit if their revenues exceed their expenses.
Currently,
the Company plans to hold the Projects indefinitely, creating a reliable stream
of cash flow for Investors. Should the Company decide to sell one or more
Projects, however, the Manager's experience in the industry suggests that the
Projects could be sold for a profit:
|
·
|
Yield and Cashflow: Many investment funds look for reliable cashflows
generating a targeted yield. From the perspective of such a fund, any of the
Projects or indeed the entire portfolio of Projects would be an attractive
investment. With both revenue and most expenses locked in by contract, the
cash flow should be predictable and consistent for as long as 20 years.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Project Consolidation: Some of the Projects will be too small or unusual
for institutional buyers to consider on their own. The Company could package
these Projects into a larger, more standardized portfolio that will be
attractive to these larger, more efficiency-focused players. In the
aggregate, the portfolio of Projects is expected to generate 50+ megawatts of
power with relatively uniform power contracts, engineering standards, and
underwriting criteria. A portfolio of that size can bear the fees and diligence
associated with an institutional-grade transaction or securitization.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Cash Flow Stabilization: When the Company buys a Project, it will typically
share the construction risk with the development company that originated the
Project. Larger investors are generally unwilling to take on construction
risk and will invest only in projects that are already generating positive
cash flow, referred to as "stabilization." Thus, the Company will acquire
Projects before stabilization and sell them after stabilization.
Institutional investor interest in the Portfolio should increase as the
portfolio stabilizes.
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Increase in Residual
Value: When the Company acquires a
Project, the appraisal is based solely on the cash flows projected from
executed Project Rental Contracts, with no residual value assumed for the
Project. There is a high probability that a Project will continue to create
revenue after its initial contract period in the form of a contract
extension, repositioning, or sale into the merchant energy markets. This
creates a sort of built-in "found value" for our Projects, which may be
realized upon sale.

Item 1. Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and
beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in
the Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Unless otherwise
indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2023.
Offering
Results
On August 13, 2020, the
Company commenced its offering to the public of limited liability company
interests denominated as Class A Investor Shares under Regulation A (the "Offering")
and an Offering Circular dated June 30, 2020, as updated and amended from time
to time (the "Offering Circular"). The Offering Circular is available
through the SEC's EDGAR site (LINK), and
may also be obtained on the Platform or by contacting the Manager. We refer to
the purchasers of Class A Investor Shares as "Investors".
We initially offered up to
$50 million in our Class A Investor Shares in our Offering. The SEC has since
adopted an amendment to increase the maximum offering amount under Tier 2 of
Regulation A from $50 million to $75 million per rolling twelve-month period.
This amendment was effective March 15, 2021, and the Company intends to utilize
this increased offering amount in the future. The Offering is being conducted
as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning
that while the offering of securities is continuous, active sales of securities
may occur sporadically over the term of the Offering. As of June 30, 2023, we
had raised total offering proceeds of
$8,224,365, net of stock issuance costs of $157,509, from settled subscriptions
resulting from the sale of 10,201,781 Investor Shares.
We expect to offer Class A
Investor Shares in our Offering until we raise to the amount of capital needed
to afford the capital expenses of all Projects approved by the Investment
Committee. If we have fully-funded the cost of all Projects through the Offering,
we will stop raising money until a new Project is approved for investment by
the Company.
Share
Price Calculation
The
price for a Class A Investor Share in the Company is computed on the Platform
to equalize Investors in response to differences between them that could arise
from buying Class A Investor Shares at different times. For example, changes in
the value of the Company and/or the Projects at different times could result
from:
|
·
|
changes
in USD/BRL FX rate that differ from the FX rates we estimated when the
initial share price was calculated;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
changes
in U.S. and Brazilian inflation rates that differ from the rates we estimated
when the initial share price was calculated;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
investing
in new Projects or selling Projects would change the projected cash flow for
the Company;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
distributions
received by earlier investors;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
changes
in baseline assumptions like Project costs, expenses and/or changes in tax
rates or electric rates.
|
Page 5
To
determine the share price for a Class A Investor Share of the Company, we
compute an algorithm that resolves:
rIRR
= pIRR
Where:
|
·
|
rIRR
= Realized IRR of all existing Class A Investor Shares;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
pIRR
= Projected lifetime IRR of a hypothetical $1 investor at share price "x".

Below
is a table of the price of Class A Investor Shares (the only class of investor
shares) at the close of each month since the initial offering.

Our Investments
In June 2023, the Company
sold seven solar Projects; Aparecida do Taboado I, Frei Inocencio, Monte Sião,
Nova Lacerda, Formiga II, Naque and Itabapoana. We had invested $711,434 into
the seven Projects and sold them for $894,014, with a profit of $182,580.
Currently, the Company plans to sell one more project and hold the other
Projects indefinitely, creating a reliable stream of cash flow for Investors.
After the sale in June 2023,
the Company owns eleven (11) Projects, each of which were described more fully
in the Offering Circular and in various filings with the SEC since the date our
Offering was qualified by the SEC (e.g. August 13, 2020).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are dependent upon the net
proceeds from the Offering to conduct our proposed investments. We will obtain
the capital required to purchase new Projects and conduct our operations from
the proceeds of the Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from
secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from undistributed
funds from our operations. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $796,350 of
cash on hand which will be used to pay for the remaining costs of constructing
the Pedra do Indaia Project and the Divinopolis II Project. As we continue to
raise capital from the offering, we expect to commence construction of the
Divinopolis III Project, Araxá I Project and Araxá II project into the first
half of 2024. To the extent that capital raised from the Offering is
insufficient to construct the Projects, we may borrow additional capital from
the Lender to make up the difference.
Outlook and
Recent Trends
One
recurring trend we have experienced while constructing the Projects in Brazil has
been delays in interconnecting our Projects to the utility-owned grid.
Interconnecting our larger-format Projects requires a tremendous level of
coordination between the utility company, contractors, construction management
to run lines for miles, install significant electrical infrastructure and shut
portions of the grid down for periods of time. To date, the Company has
experienced abnormal delays in this process, delays that exceed our schedule
when commencing construction. Fortunately, long term financial impact of these
delays has been immaterial and modeled projection have been adjusted to reflect
this trend.
Other
than the trends described above and factors that will impact the Company's
success discussed in this semi-annual report, in the Annual Report, and in the
"Risks of Investing," section of
the Offering Circular,
the Company is not aware of any trends, uncertainties,
demands, commitments, or events that are reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on our revenues, income from continuing operations,
profitability, liquidity, or capital resources. We caution, however, that any
of the items in this semi-annual report, in the Annual Report, and in the
Risks of Investing," section of the
Offering Circular could have a material adverse impact.
That
said, we believe that the solar market in Brazil for community solar projects
remains one of the most attractive markets to develop solar projects anywhere
in the world. Recent improvements to the laws that enable this type of project
development have increased demand for these assets while the Company's
experience in the market, and that of the Manager, continue to result in
additional deal flow and promising prospects for long term cash flow.
Method of
Accounting
The
compensation described in this section was calculated using the accrual method
of accounting.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization, Operations and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
Business organization
and operations
Energea Portfolio 2 LLC is a Delaware Limited Liability
Corporation formed to develop, own and
manage a portfolio of renewable energy projects in Brazil. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Energea Portfolio 2 LLC and its
wholly owned Brazilian single purpose entities ("SPEs"): Energea Iguatama
Aluguel de Equipamentos e Manutençao Ltda, Energea Pedra do Indaia Ltda,
Energea Divinopolis II Ltda, Divinopolis III Ltda, Energea Formiga I Ltda, ,
Energea Diamantina II Ltda, Energea Micros I Ltda, Energea Corumbaiba Ltda,
Energea Araxa I Ltda, Energea Araxa II Ltda, Energea Aparecida do Taboado Ltda,
Energea Portfolio Holding Ltda and Energea Portfolio Holding de Conexoes Ltda
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
Company and its day-to-day operations are managed by Energea Global LLC
("Manager"). The Company works in close cooperation with stakeholders, project
hosts, industry partners and capital providers to produce best-in-class
results.
The Company's activities consist principally of
organization and pursuit costs, raising capital, securing investors and project
development activity. The Company's activities are subject to significant risks
and uncertainties, including the inability to secure funding to develop its
portfolio. The Company's operations are funded by the issuance of membership
interests and debt at the Company level. There can be no assurance that any of
these strategies will be achieved on terms attractive to the Company. During
2021, the Company initiated a Regulation A Offering for the purpose of raising
capital to fund ongoing project development activities. As of June 30, 2023,
the Company has invested in its eleven projects. The Company is offering to
sell interests designated as Investor Shares to the public up to $75,000,000.
The initial price of the Investor Shares was $1.00 per share. Through June 30,
2023, the Company had raised total offering proceeds of $8,224,365, net of
stock issuance costs of $157,509, from settled subscriptions resulting from the
sale of 10,201,781 Investor Shares.
Basis of
presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash
equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits
at commercial banks and short-term cash equivalents maturing within 90 days.
Capitalization and investment in project assets
A project has four basic phases: (i) development, (ii)
financing, (iii) engineering and construction and (iv) operations and
maintenance. During the development phase, milestones are created to ensure
that a project is financially viable. Project viability is obtained when it
becomes probable that costs incurred will generate future economic benefits
sufficient to recover those costs.
Examples of milestones required for a viable project
include the following:
- The identification,
selection and acquisition of sufficient area required for a project;
- The confirmation of a
regional electricity market;
- The confirmation of
acceptable electricity resources;
- The confirmation of the
potential to interconnect to the electric transmission grid;
- The determination of limited
environmental sensitivity; and
- The confirmation of local
community receptivity and limited potential for organized opposition.
All project costs are expensed during the development
phase. Once the milestones for development are achieved, a project is moved
from the development phase into the engineering and construction phases. Costs
incurred in these phases are capitalized as incurred, included within
construction in progress ("CIP"), and not depreciated until placed into
commercial service. Once a project is placed into commercial service, all
accumulated costs are reclassified from CIP to property and equipment and
become subject to depreciation or amortization over a specified estimated life.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment costs of projects completed and is stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range
from 20 to 30 years. Additions, renewals, and betterments that significantly
extend the life of the asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not
be fully recoverable. During the period ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended
December 31, 2022,
there was no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.
Page 12
Revenue recognition
All
of the SPE's have Equipment Rental Agreements. These rental agreements are with
various subscribers who will pay a monthly fee for the renewable energy upon
completion of the projects. Projects are considered complete when they are
tested, commissioned, interconnected to the grid and capable of producing
electricity as designed. Revenue will be recognized as it is earned on a
monthly basis. The agreements are in effect for twenty-five years from the
completion date and are expected to have a combined gross revenue $156,852,140
from all projects when operational.
Comprehensive Loss
GAAP
requires the reporting of "comprehensive loss" within general purpose financial
statements. Comprehensive income/(loss) is comprised of two components, net
income/(loss) and comprehensive income/(loss). For the period ended June 30,
2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had foreign currency
exchange losses relating to currency translation from Brazilian real to U.S.
dollar reported as other comprehensive loss.
Income taxes
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company has elected to be
taxed as a C-Corporation for Federal, State and local income tax reporting
purposes. 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
bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
deferred taxes of approximately $159,712 and $76,444, respectively, have been
fully reserved by a valuation allowance. Any income taxes currently due are not
material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2022 or 2021.
The Company also concluded that there are no uncertain
tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial
statements. Interest on any income tax liability is reported as interest
expense and penalties on any income tax liability are reported as income taxes.
The Company's conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to
review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of tax laws,
regulations and interpretations thereof, as well as other factors.
Leases
Adoption
- ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) -
The amendments in this update require lessees to recognize, on the balance
sheet, assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases.
The guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The adoption
requires either a modified retrospective transition where the lessees and
lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the
earliest period presented, or a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of
adoption. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2022 and as a
result, the Company recorded a lease right-of-use asset and lease liability of
$648,373 through a cumulative effect adjustment as of that date. In July 2018,
the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which provided a practical expedient package
for lessees. The Company elected to use the expedient package and did not
reassess whether any existing contracts contain leases; did not reassess the
lease classification for existing leases; and did not reassess initial direct
costs for any existing leases. As a result, all leases are considered operating
leases.
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease
right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying
asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the
Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU
assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the
present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do
not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate
based on the information available at commencement date in determining the
present value of lease payments. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease
payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options
to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company
will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with
lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
Foreign Currency Exchange
Transactions
Purchases
of products and services for the Brazilian subsidiaries are transacted in the
local currency, Brazilian real (R$), and are recorded in U.S. dollar
translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the
transaction. Balances are translated into U.S. dollar using the exchange rates
at the respective balance sheet date. Realized exchange gains and losses are
included in foreign currency exchange loss on the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Unrealized exchange gains and
losses are included in other comprehensive loss on the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Unrealized
translation losses for the period ended June 30, 2023 and years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021 were $72,049, $112,255 and $137,511, respectively. Realized
translation losses for the period ended June 30, 2023 and years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 3,192, $2,266 and $-0-, respectively.
Page 13
Concentrations
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains
its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits at high credit quality financial
institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Each
bank account held in Brazil has a revolving line of credit associated with it
intended to cover any shortfall in the cash accounts and carry interest at
13.99% per month. The lines have credit limits of $209 to $10,438.50. There
were no draws on these lines of credit during the period ended June 30, 2023 or
year ended December 31, 2022.
Extended Transition Period
Under
Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, the Company is
permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
This permits the Company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards
until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company
has elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section
7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting
standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies
until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging
growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended
transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the
transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these
consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that adopt
accounting standard updates upon the public business entity effective dates.
Subsequent events
In
connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the
Company monitored and evaluated subsequent events for the period ended June 30,
through September 29, 2023, the date on which the consolidated financial
statements were available to be issued.
There are no material subsequent events that require disclosure.
Note 2 - Construction in Progress
The Company is in the process of developing and
constructing renewable energy facilities in Brazil. All project costs are being
capitalized and include hard costs, such as equipment and construction
materials, and soft costs, such as engineering, architectural, legal, permits,
developer fees and other costs. The balance of CIP on June 30, 2023 and
December 31, 2022 was $ 6,551,091 and $4,357,702, respectively. The Company
expects to incur an additional $12,141,150 of costs to complete the projects
that have not yet completed or begun construction which include the projects
owned by Energea Araxá I Ltda, Energea Araxá II Ltda, and Energea Divinopolis
II Ltda, Energea Divinopolis III Ltda, and Energea Micros I Ltda, Energea Pedra
do Indaia Ltda.
Note 3 - Line of Credit
In
October 2020, the Company, along with its majority member-manager, entered into
a revolving credit agreement (the "Agreement") with a debt provider to provide
funding for the construction projects in Brazil. The Agreement calls for a line
of credit with total availability of $5,000,000 to be used solely to finance
the purchase, development and construction of the two Brazilian projects.
Interest is payable in quarterly installments at an annual rate of 15% through
the date of maturity of September 30, 2023.
The
Company may elect to defer up to 50% of each quarterly interest installment,
provided that such deferred interest will be treated as principal and repaid in
accordance with the Agreement. The line of credit is secured by a pledge of the
Manager's Class A Investor Shares and Common Shares in the Company as well as a
fiduciary lien on the assets owned by Energea Iguatama Aluguel de Equipamentos
e Manutençao Ltda and Energea Pedra do Indaia Ltda.
The
Company may repay or prepay outstanding revolving notes with prior approval of
the lender. In addition, the Company is required to repay outstanding principal
with the proceeds of any sales of the projects within ten days following
receipt of the sales proceeds, or in the event a project is canceled or unable
to be completed.
If
any projects have completed construction prior to the line of credit maturity
date, the Company may elect to convert the revolving line of credit to a term
loan, subject to certain limitations, provided the Company has met all
financial covenants and other requirements, as defined. Term loans require
quarterly repayments of principal plus interest at 13% per annum, in advance,
over a term of ten years. The company intends to exercise this option, so the
line of credit is recorded as long-term on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
The
Company's balance outstanding under the line of credit on June 30, 2023 and
December 31, 2022 was $4,553,001 and $4,075,001, respectively. Interest
incurred during the construction phase is capitalized as CIP. Interest
capitalized and paid during the period ended June 30, 2023 was $292,456.
Interest capitalized and paid at the year ended December 31, 2022 was $766,631.
