MORTGAGE VALUATION
Mortgages that are current are carried at the principal value owed by the borrower, as of the date of the financial statements, according to the amortization schedule for the loan. All mortgagesMortgages owned as of the date of these financial statements are current. The net present value of the servicing revenue is recorded as mortgage servicing rights, at fair value on the consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized on the Statementconsolidated Statements of OperationsIncome as an unrealized gain on mortgages.
MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES
The Company primarily funds the mortgage loans (”CM Loans”) that it makes by issuing Mortgage Secured Notes (“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 the date of these financial statements,June 30, 2022, the Company has funded CM Loansloans totaling $317,658,746$454,012,345 since inception and it issued MSNs secured by those loans in the amount of $313,670,750. Currently, the Company has $281,403,866 in Mortgages Owned, with $298,421,866 of MSNs outstanding. There is one CM Loan that was part of a single MSN series issuance that did not close as of the quarter end, resulting in an excess value of MSNs compared to Mortgages Owned of approximately $18,018,000.$402,712,364 since inception.
PORTFOLIO LOANS
The Company recognizes loans made with its own capital, or those not securitized, under the caption “Portfolio Loans” on the balance sheet.statement of financial condition. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company had issued Portfolio Loans in the amount of $9,384,423. These$26,670,623 and currently holds $23,897,064. Of this amount, $15,050,000 is a portion of the MSNs not funded by the warehouse line, and the balance are loans that were funded by the Company as well as affiliates.
PARTICIPATIONS
From time to time, the Company sells all or part of its loans as loan participations to banks or other lending Institutions that prefer to hold their mortgage investment in that manner. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had issued Loan Participations in the amount of $6,500,000, all of which are still outstanding. These participations are included in the Mortgages Owned number and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable.
GOODWILL
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB 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 ending SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are origination fees, servicing fees, processing fees, underwriting income, trading profits, and interest income.
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 StatementStatements 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, then unused fees are refunded. If the transaction is unable to proceed for any reason not the fault of the Company, then 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.
9 |
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.
Interest Income
Interest Income is primarily derived from interest earned on Portfolio Loans and includes interest earned on cash and securities.
LEASES
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUAccounting 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 balance sheetstatement of financial condition and disclose key information about leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. Leases will be classified as financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease standard on January 1, 2019, and has chosen to use that date as the effective date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new lease guidance provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedient,” which permits it to not reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs.GAAP. As part of the adoption of this standard, the Company recognizedrecognizes 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. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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.
Unrealized Gain on Mortgages OwnedOWNED
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.
DUE TO CLEARINGHOUSE BROKERS
J.W. Korth, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, operates as an SEC and FINRA registered securities broker dealer. Securities transactions are traded through broker clearinghouses and, upon settlement, funds are transferred in and out of the Company’s bank accounts. Unsettled transactions create short-term payables and receivables due to and from the broker clearinghouses. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a net amount due from clearinghouse brokers of $10,911.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of three to seven years.
INCOME TAXES
On June 6, 2019, the Company converted from a Florida limited liability company into a Florida corporation. Effective with the conversion into a Florida corporation, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the 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 consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on 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 expenseexpense.
DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF RELATED PARTY AFFILIATEDebt 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 consolidated statements of financial income.

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.

NOTE 7 - 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 it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for these indemnifications.

NOTE 1312 – 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:
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
Cash and cash equivalents:
The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.
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, we have 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 StatementConsolidated Statements of Financial Condition as “Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value.”
Mortgage Secured Notes Receivable:
From time to time the Company may buy-back mortgage secured notes previously issued to investors. These securities are available for sale, but may be held until maturity. These securities are recorded at fair value each quarter with the change in fair value recognized as an unrealized gain or loss each reporting period. The fair value estimate 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, we have 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.
Securities
J. W. Korth holds $225,000 of defaulted Banco Cruzeiro del Sur bonds which it reasonably believes it will receive par value for from the receiver handling the liquidation in Brazil. Local counsel has informed us that the bank has sufficient cash to pay off our bonds. We therefore carry them at par value.
KDM also holds a small amount of its own MSNs in an account which it may buy from time to time to provide liquidity to clients of J. W.J.W. Korth. These bonds are carried at the published statement values.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company closed on a $100,000,000 financing repurchase facility on March 31, 2022.

Status of KDM Loans
All CM Loans are currently paying as agreed.
Except as set forth below, all of our CM Loans as of the date of this filing are performing. One of our CM Loans that we reported was in technical default last quarter has refinanced out in Q2 2022. Another of our loans that had a second mortgage that went into maturity default is paying the first mortgage as agreed under the lockbox and is working to refinance. The borrower executed a deed in lieu of foreclosure, which KDM is holding in escrow pending a successful refinance. KDM does not believe that there would be a deficiency on a sale of the property under either the first or second mortgage, but anticipates that in the event that it acquires the property, it may invest an additional $1,500,000 to complete a secure information facility build out in progress, which would maximize the value of the building on sale. KDM expects that during such time, debt service from collected rents would continue to be adequate to service the first mortgage, and other than the initial costs associated with the build out described above, expects to recover all principal, interest and build out costs subsequent to a proposed sale.

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 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 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, 2021, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.
