KORTH DIRECT MORTGAGE INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 i 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (the “Company” or “KDM”) is incorporated in the State of Florida. The Company was created to originate mortgages and fund those mortgages with Notes secured by mortgage loans. J.W. Korth & Company Limited Partnership (“J.W. Korth”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of KDM.

 

J.W. Korth is a securities broker dealer registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the states of Michigan, Florida, and various other states and an SEC registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. J.W. Korth is a licensed member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, as well as a Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) registrant.

 

On July 28, 2022, KDM created a new wholly owned subsidiary, KDM Funding I LLC (“KDMF”), which is an additional issuer of Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs”). KDM is the servicer of KDMF’s loans, and all revenue and expenses are passed through to the Company and consolidated within these financial statements. Although KDMF’s deal history is broken out by KDM and KDMF as issuers in KDM’s annual reports on Form 10-K as well as its securities memoranda there are no stand-alone financial statements prepared for KDMF. See the current report Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 5, 2022, for more information concerning the business of KDMF.

 

KDM owns a controlling interest in KDM Stafford LLC, which is a special purpose entity that owns a building KDM acquired in Virginia in November 2022. KDM also owns Citrus Servicing LLC, which is an entity that is a servicer for our small balance loan program.

 

The Company may create and operate other special purpose and pass-through entities typically organized as limited liability companies in order to own real estate and issue additional securities. These entities will be consolidated into these financial statements and Notes.

 

 i 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 i 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries J.W. Korth, KDM Stafford LLC, Citrus Servicing LLC and KDM Funding I LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 i 

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have also been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

 i 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we have condensed certain categories of information in our consolidated financial statements to enhance the readability and understanding of those statements by making them more succinct. As a result, certain footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted but remain prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present our unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition, operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

 

 i 

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 i 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 8

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to amounts shown in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2023, and 2022:

 

 i 
Schedule of cash and cash equivalents        
   2023   2022 
Cash and Cash Equivalents  $ i 2,458,853   $ i 2,709,719 
Restricted Cash    i 20,107,712     i 17,122,141 
   $ i 22,566,565   $ i 19,831,860 
 / 

 

The Company maintains cash and restricted cash balances at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures eligible accounts up to $ i 250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. The Company holds cash and restricted cash at well-known banks and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

 / 
 i 

MORTGAGE VALUATION

Mortgages that are current are carried at the principal value owed by the borrower as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, according to the amortization schedule for the loan. Mortgages owned as of the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements are current. The net present value of the servicing revenue is recorded as mortgage servicing rights at fair value on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the change in the fair value is recognized on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on mortgages.

 

 i 

MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES

The Company primarily funds the mortgage loans (”CM Loans”) that it makes by issuing MSNs in series, each of which MSN series is secured by the mortgage or mortgages funded from proceeds of the MSN series. Our MSNs have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, SEC registered offerings, loan participations, and Rule 144A offerings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has issued MSNs secured by these loans in the amount of $ i 591,180,000 since inception and has redeemed $ i 96,110,594 of its MSNs since inception.

 

 / 
 i 

PORTFOLIO LOANS

The Company recognizes loans made with its own capital, or those not securitized or sold via participation, under the caption “Portfolio Loans” on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. This number also includes the cash we have invested in loans on our warehouse line as “haircut capital.” As of September 30, 2023, the Company had issued Portfolio Loans in the amount of $ i 44,234,104 and currently holds $ i 7,674,873 of Portfolio Loans.

 

 / 
 i 

LOANS HELD FOR SALE 

The Company purchases small balance commercial loans classified as held for sale which are carried at the lower of amortized cost basis or market value. We determine the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale by using a discounted cash flow model.

 

 i 

PARTICIPATIONS

From time to time the Company sells all or part of its mortgage loans as loan participations to banks or other lending institutions that prefer to hold their mortgage investments in that manner. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had issued loan participations in the amount of $ i 21,500,000, all of which are still outstanding. These participations are included in the Mortgages Owned number and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable.

 

 / 
 i 

GOODWILL

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 350 requires an annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value or there is an indication that impairment may exist, a second step must be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. Management conducted its annual assessment of goodwill impairment and determined that there were no indicators of goodwill impairment and therefore did not record an impairment loss for the period ended September 30, 2023.

 

 i 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are origination fees, servicing fees, processing fees, underwriting income, trading profits, and interest income.

 

On November 22, 2022, we obtained control of an income producing property and started collecting leasing revenue. We recorded rental income of $ i 830,782 for the period ending September 30, 2023, which is reported as leasing revenue on the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

 

 9

 

Origination Fees

Loan origination fees represent revenue earned from originating mortgage loans; net of any credits given to the borrower. Loan origination fees generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts and are deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the loan. The associated loan origination costs are also deferred and recognized as expense over the life of the loan. The deferred portion of the loan origination fees is netted against the deferred portion of the loan origination costs, which include mortgage broker expenses, and reported as a net deferred revenue liability on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.

 

Servicing Fees

Loan servicing fees represent revenue earned for servicing loans for various investors. Loan servicing fees are a percentage of the outstanding unpaid principal balance and represent the difference between the interest received from our CM Loans and the MSN interest payable. Servicing fees are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are received; similarly, loan servicing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Processing Fees

Processing fees are collected from the borrower at the time the commitment letter is signed and cover a variety of expenses during the underwriting process. If the Company cancels the transaction unused fees are refunded. If the transaction is unable to proceed for any reason, which is not the fault of the Company, the Company keeps the full processing fee. Revenues from processing fees are recognized at closing or at the time a transaction is canceled.

 

Underwriting Income

Underwriting income represents revenue earned by J.W. Korth for underwriting and distribution of the Company’s securities. Revenues from underwriting income are recognized on the settlement date of the trades.

 

Trading Profits

Trading profits represent revenue generated through the trading of securities either for its own account or on behalf of J.W. Korth’s clients. Revenue from trading profits is recognized upon settlement of the securities transactions.

 

Leasing Revenue

Leasing revenue represents revenues generated through KDM Stafford for rental income earned from operating leases at rental properties majority-owned and controlled by KDM. Leasing revenue generated from operating leases are recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 

Interest Income

Interest Income is primarily derived from interest earned on Portfolio Loans and includes interest earned on cash and securities.

 

 / 
 i 

LEASES

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The standard requires organizations to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition and disclose key information about leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. As part of the adoption of this standard, the Company recognizes lease liabilities with a corresponding ROU leased asset of approximately the same amount based on the present value of the remaining lease payments pursuant to current leasing standards for existing operating leases.

 

 i 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company estimates the fair values of share-based payments on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires assumptions for the expected volatility of the share price of our common stock, the expected dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the stock-based award. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

 

 

 i 

UNREALIZED GAIN ON MORTGAGES OWNED

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has a short operating history and a small number of loans outstanding, we have a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates.

 

 i 

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of  i three to  i thirty-nine years.

 

 10

 

 / 
 i 

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets 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. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from such position are measured by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense.

 

 i 

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the respective obligation, using the straight-line method. Amortization expense of debt issuance costs is recorded in interest expense in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

 

 i 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU updates the existing incurred loss model to a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through earnings. The amendments affect cash and cash equivalents, reverse repurchase agreements, certain loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope.  There are also limited amendments to the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The Company adopted CECL in 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 i 

NOTE 3 – CONTINGENT LIABILITY

 

As part of the acquisition of J. W. Korth, the Company agreed to pay (i) the Preferred Capital Interest partners of J.W. Korth accrued and unpaid dividends of  i 6% per annum through  i July 31, 2020; (ii) the J.W. Korth Preferred Capital Interest Partners quarterly dividends concurrently with its payment of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock dividends at least annually; and (iii) in such years as it pays Series A Preferred Stock dividends, redeem  i 25% annually of the J.W. Korth Preferred Capital Interest partners through a capital contribution to J. W. Korth.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

 

As stated in Note 2 the Company funds the majority of the mortgage loans that it makes by issuing MSNs, which are secured by those same mortgages. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding loans securing MSNs totaling $ i 495,069,406 and $ i 447,407,141, respectively, and issued MSNs secured by those loans in the amount of $ i 496,488,218 and $ i 454,883,011, respectively. The MSNs have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, loan participations, and 144A offerings exempt from registration, and through SEC registered offerings.

 

The MSNs are typically five-year interest-only notes with the principal balance due at maturity, but terms can vary. Interest rates on the senior MSNs have ranged from  i 4.25% to  i 9.00% and mature at various dates from January 2024 to July 2038. The MSNs are non-recourse to KDM and are payable to the extent that the Company receives payment from the borrower of the borrower’s mortgage loans. Payments made to KDM by borrowers are distributed by KDM to MSN noteholders in accordance with the terms of their MSN Notes.

NOTE 5 - RESTRICTED CASH

 

The Company maintains multiple segregated accounts in trust for borrowers and investors. The value of these accounts is carried under the asset “Restricted Cash.”

 

The “In Trust for 1” account holds the monthly tax and insurance payments collected from borrowers and distributes payments annually, on behalf of borrowers, to the appropriate tax authorities and insurance companies. This account corresponds to the Escrow Payable liability. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, this account had balances of $ i 559,190 and $ i 626,414, respectively.

NOTE 6 – ACQUISITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY

 

In November 2022, through a Settlement in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement, the Company obtained majority ownership and the controlling interest in rental property located in Stafford, Virginia. As part of the agreement, a $9.5 million mortgage held by the Company was assigned to a newly created special-purpose entity, KDM Stafford LLC, which is majority owned and controlled by the Company. The original borrower maintains a minority interest in the special-purpose entity. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $ i 26,941. In addition, a portfolio loan held by the Company in the amount of $7.5 million was classified as an investment in the special-purpose entity.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS

 

The Company maintains office space in Coral Gables, Florida. In November 2020, the Company signed a lease for office space in Miami, Florida, for a term of sixty-two months with the right to extend the term of the lease for two additional, successive terms of two years upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term. In December 2020, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement to sublet a portion of the office space described above. The subtenant has agreed to cover the proportionate amount of the lease costs associated with the office space based on essentially the same terms as the lease described above, including the rights to extend for two successive two-year terms.

 

The Company also maintains an office in Lansing, Michigan for J.W. Korth.

 

The net present value of future lease payments pursuant to the operating lease agreements are included in the ROU Leased Asset and the Lease Liability accounts on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. The ROU Leased Asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the remaining lease term. The Lease Liability represents the obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements.

 

Rental expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $ i 195,238 compared to $ i 191,137 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, this includes additional expenses for common area, direct operating expense, utilities, parking, and taxes.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the net present value of the future lease liabilities, using the weighted-average discount rate of  i 4.24%, which is commensurate with the Company’s secured borrowing rate, over the weighted average remaining life of  i 2.3 years was $ i 598,573.

NOTE 8 - INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely the Company will have to make material payments under these indemnification arrangements, and it has not recorded any contingent liability in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for these indemnifications.

 

 i 

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

From time to time the Company purchases MSNs and holds them in its brokerage account. These MSNs are included on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition as mortgages owned. Also, from time to time second lien or balance sheet loans may be all or partially funded by entities controlled by KDM directors or employees and are serviced by KDM. In some circumstances where MSNs are in default, in the event a foreclosure becomes necessary, KDM may acquire properties as a deed in lieu of foreclosure. KDM may create special purpose entities to take title to such properties, liquidate them to satisfy any debts due under an MSN, or keep such properties and repay the MSN from its own funds. The Company has created one such special purpose entity to date, KDM Stafford. KDM Stafford owns one building located in Virginia, which the Company acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

NOTE 10 – DEFERRED REVENUE, NET

 

Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the respective loan. The associated loan origination costs are also deferred and recognized as expense over the life of the loan. The deferred portion of the loan origination fees is netted against the deferred portion of the loan origination costs and reported as a net deferred revenue liability on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition.

NOTE 11 – EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR STOCK OPTIONS

 

On June 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock Option Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of both incentive and non-statutory stock options to key employees, directors or other persons having a service relationship with the Company. Effective December 8, 2022, the Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of authorized option shares to  i 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s unissued, or reacquired, common stock, $ i 0.001 par value.

NOTE 12 – PREFERRED EQUITY

 

On September 27, 2019, the Company issued  i 200,000 shares of its Series A 6% Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ i 0.001 per share, for net proceeds of $ i 4,750,000. The Company paid $ i 250,000 in expenses related to the preferred stock issuance to J. W. Korth as underwriter and distributor. Each share was sold for $ i 25 and is  i convertible into common stock at a ratio of 5 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. On September 15, 2021, June 28, 2022, and March 23, 2023, the Company sold an additional 100,000, 480,000, and 160,000 shares, respectively, of its Series A 6% Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $2,375,000, $11,856,480, and $3,896,000.

 

On August 12, 2022, the Company repurchased and retired  i 480,000 shares of its Series A 6% Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $ i 25.25 per share, for a total of $ i 12,120,480. The Company paid $ i 640,000 in interest expense.

 

On June 29, 2021, the Company issued  i 19,000 shares of its Series B 6.50% Cumulative Non-Voting Redeemable Secured Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $ i 1,000 per share, for net proceeds of $ i 18,302,500. The Company paid $ i 697,500 in expenses related to the preferred stock issuance to its financial advisor and placement agent.

 

The Series B preferred stock is non-convertible and pays cumulative dividends, if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at a rate of  i 6.50% per annum. Dividends declared will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. The Series B preferred stock ranks senior to KDM’s common stock and Series A 6% Cumulative Preferred Stock in dividend rights and upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, and will rank pari passu with, or senior to, all future issuances of preferred stock of KDM.

 

The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization, or NRSRO, rating for so long as any shares of Series B preferred stock remain outstanding. If the Company fails to maintain an NRSRO rating for the Series B preferred stock of at least BBB (or the equivalent thereof), the dividend rate applicable to the Series B preferred stock will be increased by 25 basis points, and in the event the Company fails to maintain an NRSRO rating of at least BBB- (or the equivalent thereof), the dividend rate applicable to the Series B preferred stock will be increased by an additional 25 basis points. The Company’s current corporate rating is BBB+.

 

The Series B preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, on or after June 29, 2026, at a redemption price per share equal to $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any. Subject to applicable law, the Company is required to redeem the Series B preferred stock, in each case at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, as follows:

 

·10% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2027;
·10% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2028;
·10% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2029;
·20% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2030; and
·50% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2031.

 

The Company’s obligations to redeem the Series B preferred stock are secured by a security interest on servicing fees, as specified in each mortgage secured note issued by the Company, which is the difference between the interest payable pursuant to the mortgage secured note and the interest receivable pursuant to the related commercial real estate mortgage loan. The requisite holders of Series B preferred stock will be entitled to exercise rights and remedies pursuant to such security interest in the event that the Company does not pay the relevant mandatory redemption price (inclusive of any accrued and unpaid dividends) within thirty (30) days of the applicable redemption date, except with respect to the final redemption date, which is not subject to a thirty (30)-day grace period.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE

 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not assumptions specific to the entity.

 

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs utilized in measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:

 

 15
 Table of Contents

 

Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

 

Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

Valuation Process

 

Mortgages Owned and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable:

Mortgage loans for which the Company has the intention and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal balances, net of any unearned income, premiums or discounts. If a decline in fair value below the carrying balance is other-than-temporary, an unrealized impairment loss is recorded, and the loan is recorded at the lower fair value at each reporting period. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment losses related to the mortgage loans.

 

Due to the fact that the Company issues notes secured directly by underlying loans, our assets and liabilities in this category have identical values and assets have offsetting balances.

 

Mortgage Servicing: 

The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated as an unrealized gain. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, constant prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, it has a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates, but have engaged a third party, MIAC Analytics, to assist us in our valuation of this asset. The amount is included on the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition as “Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value.”

 

Securities

 

J. W. Korth holds $ i 225,000 of defaulted Banco Cruzeiro del Sur bonds, for which it reasonably believes it will receive par value from the receiver handling the liquidation in Brazil. Local counsel has informed J.W.Korth that the bank has sufficient cash to pay off J.W. Korth’s bonds.   

 

KDM also holds a small amount of its own MSNs in an account in which it will hold MSNs it may buy from time to time to provide liquidity to clients of J.W. Korth. These bonds are carried at the published statement values.

NOTE 16 – WAREHOUSE LINE OF CREDIT

 

On March 31, 2022, The Company entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract (the “Agreement”) with Signature Bank (“Signature”) for the provision of an uncommitted warehouse facility of up to $100,000,000 (the “Line”). The Agreement provides for approximately a three-year term and may be terminated in accordance with the Agreement.

 

The Agreement provides that from time to time the Company may receive proceeds under the Line to originate first priority lien mortgages on real property. Signature will purchase the first lien commercial real estate mortgage loans (the “Loans”) pursuant to the Agreement. Each of the Loans will be originated in accordance with the underwriting and ratings criteria of the Company as further described in the Agreement. The Company will repurchase the Loans from Signature coincident with securitization or other disposition or pooling of the Loans under the terms and timeframes set forth in more detail in the Agreement.

 

The Line has a back-up security interest grant secured by collateral specified in the Agreement in the event the Agreement is recharacterized as a secured loan. The Agreement contains financial covenants of the Company, including limitations on the Company’s incurrence of certain debt and requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and minimum net worth.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

The Line is floating rate and both the haircut percentage and SOFR-linked interest rate spread vary according to property type and time on the line. The Line offers up to 75% leverage on investment grade loans and is designed for 30 to 90 day hold periods but can accommodate up to a 12-month holding period, with decreasing leverage as time passes.

 

In connection with entering into the Line, the Company incurred loan fees of approximately $ i 1,589,783 which is netted against the amount drawn on the line and is included in the warehouse line of credit, net in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition. Loans fees associated with the Line will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Line.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a balance of $ i 10,164,436 on the warehouse line. The total amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and recorded as interest expense is $ i 438,374.

 

On March 20, 2023, Signature Bank announced that much of its assets, including our warehouse line would now operate under the New York Community Bancorp’s Flagstar Bank, N.A.

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements through November 14, 2023, which is the date that the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. During this period, there following events requiring disclosure.

 

-

On October 13, 2023, KDM MFB LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “KDM MFB”), a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a $100,000,000 Master Repurchase and Securities Contract credit facility with Churchill MRA Funding I LLC (the “Agreement”). The Company vis a vis KDM MFB, will use the credit facility provided by the Agreement (the “Line”) to finance the Company’s expansion of its lending operations in multi-family and multifamily bridge financing. See Form 8-k filed October 19, 2023 for more information

 

-Subsequent to the date of the financial statements, three of KDM’s mortgage loan borrowers have had their loans go into payment default.  The three loans in question are all commercial office spaces in various states.  KDM is pursuing remedies to each situation individually.  These loans are also the source of payments to the holders of KDM’s mortgage secured notes (“MSN(s)”).  KDM’s MSNs are special obligations of KDM secured by individual mortgage loans.  Pursuant to the terms of the MSNs, KDM must remit payments received in connection with the underlying mortgage loan in accordance with the terms of the MSN and to the extent that they are received from the mortgage borrower. While it is not an event of default for KDM under the MSNs if a mortgage loan borrower goes into payment default and fails to make a loan payment, to the extent the mortgage borrower does not pay as agreed, KDM’s service revenue for such loan will be impacted.  MSN holders will receive updates on any defaulted mortgage loans affecting their notes via the investor portal at www.korthdirect.com.  

 

-In late October, we were notified that the value of the Banco Cruzeiro bonds that we hold in face value of approximately $250,000 will only be worth approximately $85,000 when J W Korth is finally repaid. The fair value will be updated for the next quarterly report.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following is a discussion of our historical unaudited consolidated financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with (i) our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2023; and (iii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2021 Form 10-K. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the statements we make in this section due to a number of factors that are discussed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Overview

 

Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (“KDM,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) began operations in October of 2016. We were founded by J. W. Korth & Company, LP, a FINRA and SEC registered broker-dealer, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 135 San Lorenzo Avenue, Suite 600, Coral Gables, Florida 33146, and our telephone number is (305) 668-8485. Our website address is www.korthdirect.com. We also operate under the trade name KDM Financial, and our principal subsidiary is J.W. Korth & Company, Limited Partnership (“J. W. Korth”).

 

We are licensed in Florida as a Mortgage Lender Servicer. Our NMLS License Number is 1579547.

 

We originate, fund and service loans which are made to commercial borrowers. The loans are held by KDM as the lender. We fund our loans in a variety of ways, including directly in the capital markets through issuance of Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs” or “Notes”), which are sold through J.W. Korth as underwriter or placement agent through exemptions from registration available under Rule 144A, Regulation D, and other exemptions from registration. We also fund loans via loan participations and direct investments as well as on our warehouse line.

 

In July of 2022, we created an additional subsidiary to issue our MSNs, KDM Funding I LLC (“KDMF”). KDMF solely issues the Notes and does not have any other operations and there are no stand-alone financial statements prepared for KDMF. KDM is the servicer of  the loans. The revenue and expenses associated with the Note issuance and the underlying loans are consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations. However, when reporting on deal level information, we will break out the deals by issuer.

 

KDM also has a wholly owned subsidiary named Citrus Servicing LLC which services the loans in our small balance multifamily program.

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2023

 

The Company generated revenues of $7,274,155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $382,879 compared with revenues of $7,657,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a 5% decline. As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned mortgages of $495,069,406 compared with mortgages of $447,407,141 as of December 31, 2022, and $442,476,958 as of September 30, 2022, an 11% and 12% increase, respectively.

 

Gross profit decreased by $390,752 (-8%) to $4,809,038 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with gross profit of $5,199,790 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in gross profit was due to decline in servicing fees and underwriting income from lack of new lending.

 

Operating expenses were $5,062,143 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was an increase of $636,655 (14%) compared with operating expenses of $4,425,758 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by the increase of $477,411 in depreciation and amortization and $212,075 in office expenses. Office expenses and depreciation expenses increased due to now owning the Stafford, VA property.

 

Other (expense)/income decreased by $4,437,661 to ($1,020,421) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with other (expense)/income of $3,417,240 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in other (expense)/income was due primarily to the unrealized gain on mortgages of $71,922 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to unrealized gain of $4,265,739 during nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decline in unrealized gain, as well as the current loss, is due to a drop-off in originations due to current interest rate environment combined with mark to market value of our servicing book.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $162,166 in deferred income tax benefit compared with $1,006,274 of deferred income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Net loss is $1,273,796 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with net income of $4,191,272 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in 2023 was primarily attributed to the decrease in unrealized gain on mortgages due to slowed originations.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $2,458,853 in cash, $20,107,712 in restricted cash, loans totaling $521,804,233, consisting of $495,069,406 in mortgages and participations, $7,674,873 in portfolio loans and $5,758,143 in loans held for sale, and Mortgage Servicing Rights with a fair value of $13,301,811 on our unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition. The increase in restricted cash, mortgages owned, and mortgage servicing rights from December 31, 2022, is primarily due to the issuance of a new $55,000,000 MSN in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company closed on a $100,000,000 financing repurchase facility on March 31, 2022. From time to time, we may need additional haircut capital to use the repurchase facility, which we may fund in a variety of ways, on either a short or long-term basis. Haircut capital is the cash on hand necessary to fund the portion of the loan not funded by the Line. The Company generates servicing revenues on its Mortgages owned with maturity dates ranging from January 2024   to July 2038 as well as income from its investments and portfolio loans with maturity dates ranging from April 2024 to July 2028.

 

We anticipate raising additional capital to fund our lending and development in the coming months.

 

Status of KDM Loans

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were two CM Loans in payment default. On June 26, 2023, the parent company of one of our CM Loan borrowers filed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in FL. KDM has filed a proof of claim in this proceeding and expects that upon liquidation of the assets, it shall be made whole on the loan.

 

A CM Loan went into 30 day default after missing its July payment. KDM suspended payments to its bondholders and entered into an agreement to sell the note. KDM closed on the note sale transaction in October and paid off the bondholders at par plus one month of accrued interest.

 

We currently have 3 office loans that have gone into default since the date of these financial statements. KDM is pursuing a variety of remedies for these loans including a proposal of deed in lieu of foreclosure, foreclosure, and forbearance.

Please see the investor portal at korthdirect.com for information on individual loans and securities.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk .

 

We have no material positions subject to market risk.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such item is defined by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a - 15(f). Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, as required by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15(c). In making our assessment, we have utilized the criteria set forth by the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We concluded that based on our evaluation our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2023.
