Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Information presented throughout these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) is in thousands of dollars.
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Shepherd’s Finance, LLC and subsidiary (the “Company”) was originally formed as a Pennsylvania limited liability company on May 10, 2007. The Company is the sole member of a consolidating subsidiary, 84 REPA, LLC. The Company operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, as amended, by and among Daniel M. Wallach and the other members of the Company effective as of March 16, 2017.
As of March 31, 2019, theThe Company extends commercial loans to residential homebuilders (in 21 states)20 states as of June 30, 2019) to:
| ● | construct single family homes, | |
| ● | develop undeveloped land into residential building lots, and | |
| ● | purchase and improve for sale older homes. |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying (a) interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018,June 30, 2019, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 108 of Regulation S-X. While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the unaudited interim condensed consolidated information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (the “2018 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesin the 2018 Financial Statements.
Accounting Standards Adopted in the Period
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 – “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 introduce a new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for certain financial assets, including mortgage loans and reinsurance receivables. The new model will not apply to debt securities classified as available-for-sale. For assets within the scope of the new model, an entity will recognize as an allowance against earnings its estimate of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected on day one of the asset’s acquisition. The allowance may be reversed through earnings if a security recovers in value. This differs from the current impairment model, which requires recognition of credit losses when they have been incurred and recognizes a security’s subsequent recovery in value in other comprehensive income. ASU 2016-13 also makes targeted changes to the current impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, which comprise the majority of the Company’s invested assets. Similar to the CECL model, credit loss impairments will be recorded in an allowance against earnings that may be reversed for subsequent recoveries in value. The amendments in ASU 2016-13, along with related amendments in ASU No. 2018-19 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is reviewing its policies and processes to ensure compliance with the requirements in ASU 2016-13.
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (An Amendment of FASB ASC 825).” The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01 in January 2016, and it was intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with improved decision-making information. The amendments of ASU 2016-01 include: (i) requiring equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of an investee, to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; and (iii) clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
| 8 |
ASU 2016-01 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 added FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and superseded revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and certain cost guidance in FASB ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when (or as) an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue should be recognized either over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer. ASU 2014-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASU 2014-09, codified at ASC Topic 606. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no uncompleted customer contracts and, as a result, no cumulative transition adjustment was made during the first quarter of 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under legacy U.S. GAAP.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through interest earned on financial instruments, including loans, which falls outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. All of the Company’s revenue that is subject to ASC Topic 606 would be included in non-interest income; however, not all non-interest income is subject to ASC Topic 606. The Company had no contract liabilities or unsatisfied performance obligations with customers as of March 31,June 30, 2019.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation.
2. Fair Value
The Company had no financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The following tables present the balances of non-financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

In AprilOn August 1, 2019, the Companywe sold one loan to our Executive Vice President of Sales at its gross loans receivable balance of $214, and as such, no gain or loss was recognized on the sale. The purchase price was funded throughforeclosed asset for $4,800 with a reduction in the principal balance of the line$4,817 which resulted in a loss of credit extended by the Executive Vice President of Sales to the Company.

(All dollar [$] amounts shown in thousands.)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should also be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes and other consolidated financial data (the “20182018 Financial Statements”)Statements) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “20182018 Form 10-K”)10-K).

Overview
Net income for the first quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $129 and $64, respectively, when compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease in net income was mainly due to an increase in loss and impairment of foreclosure of $116 and $191, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, which was offset by a gain on foreclosure of $95 for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019. We reclassified 18 construction loan assets from loan assets, net to foreclosed assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 which resulted in a gain of $95 on five loans and a loss of $169 on 13 loans. The 18 loans had total outstanding balances of $1,432 and were to one customer who died.

In addition, loan loss provision increased by $65 when$132 and $139 for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in net incomeloan loss provision was mainlyprimarily due to the sale of an increaseimpaired asset which resulted in net interest incomea loss of $280, partially offset by increases in loan loss reserve and impairment of $82 and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $127. As of March 31, 2019, we had a total of 19 employees compared to 17 at March 31, 2018.

We had $49,991$50,377 and $46,490 in loan assets as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. In addition, as of March 31,June 30, 2019, we had 289246 construction loans in 2120 states with 7567 borrowers and sevennine development loans in three states with threefour borrowers.
Cash provided by operations increased $1,088$454 for threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. Our increase in operating cash flow was due primarily to higher loan originations.

Critical Accounting Estimates
To assist in evaluating our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we describe below the critical accounting estimates that we use. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See our 2018 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, for more information on our critical accounting estimates. No material changes to our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2018 unless listed below.
Loan Losses
Fair value of collateral has the potential to impact the calculation of the loan loss provision (the amount we have expensed over time in anticipation of loan losses we have not yet realized). Specifically, relevant to the allowance for loan loss reserve is the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the outstanding loan balances. Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Due to a rapidly changing economic market, an erratic housing market, the various methods that could be used to develop fair value estimates, and the various assumptions that could be used, determining the collateral’s fair value requires significant judgment.

There are three main components that can impact our interest spread:
●Difference between the interest rate received (on our loan assets) and the interest rate paid (on our borrowings). The loans we have originated have interest rates which are based on our cost of funds, with a minimum cost of funds of 7%. For most loans, the margin is fixed at 3%; however, for our development loans the margin is fixed at 7%. Loans originated after June 30, 2018 are at an increase of 1% to approximately 3% margin, older loans are at a 2% margin. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity).
For the periodquarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, the interest income on loans decreasedincreased by 1% compared to the prior year’s same periodperiods due to foreclosed assets which we now own (and which are not paying interest) were performingour increase in interest rates from 2% to 3% starting with new loans created in the same period last year. third quarter of 2018.
The difference between the interest rate received on our loans and the interest we paid was 3%, as compared to 5%. for both of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The difference between the interest rate received on our loans and the interest we paid was 3% and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 3% is lower due to the dollar amount of loans that are not paying interest. The 5%4% from last year was higher than typical because of the dollar amount of loans we had paying default rate interest. Some of those loans have since paid off, and some have become foreclosed assets. While our stated margin is 3%, our actual is different because 1) some loans pay higher than the stated margin, 2) some loans are not paying interest, and 3) the dollar amount of loans may be different than the dollar amount of debt. Another factor that impacts this margin is the percentage of loans which are development loans paying the 7% margin.
We currently anticipate that the difference between our interest income and interest expense will continue to be 3% for the remainder of 2019. WithDue to the increase in our pricing which started with loans created in the third quarter of 2018, we anticipate our standard margin to be 3% on all future construction loans and 7% on all development loans which yields a blended margin of approximately 3.4%. These factors should yield us a spread in the low 3%’s until the foreclosed asset balance is reduced significantly, and then in the low 4%’s thereafter, assuming no other significant changes to our business. Our largest foreclosed asset, a property in Sarasota, Florida, is completed and on the market.
●Fee income. Our construction loans have a 5% fee on the amount that we commit to lend, which is amortized over the expected life of each of those loans; however, we do not recognize a loan fee on our development loans. When loans terminate quicker than their expected life, the remaining unrecognized fee is recognized upon the termination of the loan. Our fee income increased due to a modification fee charged to our largest customer of $125, and an increase in our loan turns.
| 22 |
We currently anticipate that fee income will be 5% for the remainder of 2019.
●Amount of nonperforming assets. Generally, we can have two types of nonperforming assets that negatively affect interest spread: loans not paying interest and foreclosed assets.
As of March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018, $2,617 and $3,776, respectively,$1,663 of loans were not paying interest. Slightly more than halfAs of the 2019 amount is due to the death of a customer.June 30, 2018, all loans were paying interest.
Foreclosed assets do not provide a monthly interest return. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018, we had $6,069$7,964 and $1,079,$5,636, respectively, in foreclosed assets, which resulted in a negative impact on our interest spread.spread because the increase in 2018 to $6,323 occurred at the end of the second quarter of 2018.
The amount of nonperforming assets is expected to increasedecrease over the next quarter due to some of the nonperforming loans becomingour largest foreclosed assets, and will decrease as we sell some of those properties.asset being sold during August 2019.

Impairment Loss on Foreclosed Assets
We owned six25 and four foreclosed assets as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In addition, two are vacant lots not under construction; however, on the foreclosed assets are lots under construction,market and one is a completedpartially built home under construction. Of the 18 which we received through foreclosure recently, there were originally 20, two of those which were resolved by us selling one loan to a third party before foreclosure, and twoa different third party buying one of the homes at the foreclosure sale. Of the remaining 18, eight are landpartially built in various stages of construction which we are planning on completing, and the other 10 are lots. We will decide whether to develop on the lots once we have made progress on the eight under construction. As of June 30, 2019, we do not anticipate losses on the sale of foreclosed assets in the future; however, this may be subject to change based on the final selling price of the foreclosed assets. We finished our largest foreclosed asset in Sarasota, Florida and recorded an impairment of $80 during the quarter on that property.

Redeemable Preferred Equity and Members’ Capital
We strive to maintain a reasonable (about 15%) balance between (1) redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital and (2) total assets. The ratio of redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital to assets was 11% as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and 12% as of December 31, 2018. We anticipate this ratio further decreasing until more preferred equity is added. We are currently exploring potential increases in preferred equity.

To fund our combined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt, and equity, which are described in the following table:
| Source of Liquidity | As of March 31, 2019 | As of December 31, 2018 | As of June 30, 2019 | As of December 31, 2018 | ||||||||||||
| Secured debt | $ | 26,085 | $ | 23,258 | $ | 28,690 | $ | 23,258 | ||||||||
| Unsecured debt | 23,231 | 22,635 | 23,635 | 22,635 | ||||||||||||
| Equity | 6,461 | 6,082 | 6,559 | 6,082 | ||||||||||||
Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $2,827 during the three months ended March 31,$5,432 as of June 30, 2019, which consisted of an increase in borrowings secured by loans and foreclosed assets of $2,886 offset by a decrease in affiliate lines of $59.assets. We anticipate increasing our secured debt by roughly half of the increase in loan asset balances over the 12 months subsequent to March 31,June 30, 2019 through our existing loan purchase and sale agreements and additional lines of credit.
We anticipate that the other half of the loan asset growth will come from a combination of increases in our unsecured debt and equity. Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $596 during the three months ended March 31,$1,000 as of June 30, 2019, and unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs changed due to an increase in our Notes programProgram of $1,241,$1,645, which was offset by a decrease in other unsecured debt of $645. The change in other unsecured debt was due to the elimination of the of unsecured portion of the line of credit from Paul Swanson of $1,014, which was off setoffset by two new promissory notes ofwhich both total $369. We anticipate an increase in our unsecured debt through increased sales in the Notes Program to cover most of the increase in loan assets not covered by increases in our secured debt during the 12 months subsequent to March 31,June 30, 2019.
| 33 |
Equity increased $379$477 during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, which consisted of an increase in Series C cumulative preferred units (“Series C Preferred Units”), Series B cumulative preferred units, and Class A common equity of $72, $60,$330, $100, and $247,$47, respectively. We anticipate an increase in our equity during the 12 months subsequent to March 31,June 30, 2019, through the issuance of additional Series C Preferred Units. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we increased the amount of Series C Preferred Units outstanding by $1,288. If we are not able to increase our equity through the issuance of additional Series C Preferred Units, we will rely more heavily on raising additional funds through the Notes Program. If we anticipate the abilityan inability to not fund our projected increases in loan balances as discussed above, we may reduce new loan originations to reduce need for additional funds.
Contractual Obligations

The total amount maturing through year ending December 31, 2019 is $32,914,$33,894, which consists of secured borrowings of $25,506$28,086 and unsecured borrowings of $7,408.$5,808.
Secured borrowings maturing through year ending December 31, 2019 significantly consistsis comprised mostly of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance, Inc. and S. K. Funding, LLC) and two lenders (Stephen K. Shuman and Paul Swanson). Our secured borrowings are mostly showinglargely reported as due by 2019 because the related collateral is demand loans. The following lists our secured facilities with maturity and renewal dates:
| ● | Swanson – $7,000 due April 2020, will automatically renew unless notice is given; | |
| ● | Shuman – $1,325 due July | |
| ● | S. K. Funding, LLC – $3,500 of the total due July | |

| ● | London Financial Company, LLC – $3,250 due September 2019, renewal available; | |
| ● | Wallach LOC – | |
| ● | Myrick LOC – | |
| ● | Mortgage payable – |
Unsecured borrowings due on December 31, 2019 consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $5,521$3,921 and $1,887,$1,925, respectively. To the extent that Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program are not reinvested upon maturity, we will be required to fund the maturities, which we anticipate funding through the issuance of new Notes in our Notes Program. Historically, approximately 82% of our Note holders reinvest upon maturity. Our other unsecured debt has historically renewed. For more information on other unsecured borrowings, see Note 5 – Borrowings. If other unsecured borrowings are not renewed in the future, we anticipate funding such maturities through investments in our Notes Program.

Summary
We have the funding available to address the loans we have today, including our unfunded commitments. We anticipate growing our assets through the net sources and uses (12-month liquidity) listed above as well as future capital increases from debt, redeemable preferred equity, and regular equity. Although our secured debt is almost entirely listed as currently due because of the underlying collateral being demand notes, the vast majority of our secured debt is either contractually set to automatically renew unless notice is given or, in the case of purchase and sale agreements, has no end date as to when the purchasers will not purchase new loans (although they are never required to purchase additional loans).
Inflation, Interest Rates, and Housing Starts
Since we are in the housing industry, we are affected by factors that impact that industry. Housing starts impact our customers’ ability to sell their homes. Faster sales generally mean higher effective interest rates for us, as the recognition of fees we charge is spread over a shorter period. Slower sales generally mean lower effective interest rates for us. Slower sales also are likely to increase the default rate we experience.
Housing inflation generally has a positive impact on our operations. When we lend initially, we are lending a percentage of a home’s expected value, based on historical sales. If those estimates prove to be low (in an inflationary market), the percentage we loaned of the value actually decreases, reducing potential losses on defaulted loans. The opposite is true in a deflationary housing price market. It is our opinion that values are average in many of the housing markets in the U.S. today, and our lending against these values is safer than loans made by financial institutions in 2006 to 2008. The U.S. may be entering into a housing slow down. Some markets seem to be slowing, although most of those markets are not markets in which we lend.
Interest rates have several impacts on our business. First, rates affect housing (starts, home size, etc.). High long termlong-term interest rates may decrease housing starts, having the effects listed above. Higher interest rates will also affect our investors. We believe that there will be a spread between the rate our Notes yield to our investors and the rates the same investors could getreceive on deposits at FDIC insured institutions. We also believe that the spread may need to widen if these rates rise. For instance, if we pay 7% above average CD rates when CDs are paying 0.5%, when CDs are paying 3%, we may have to have a larger than 7% difference. This may cause our lending rates, which are based on our cost of funds, to be uncompetitive. High interest rates may also increase builder defaults, as interest payments may become a higher portion of operating costs for the builder. Higher short termshort-term rates may increase the rates builders are charged by banks faster than our rates to the builder will grow, which might be a benefit for us. Below is a chart showing three yearthree-year U.S. treasury rates, which are being used by us here to approximate CD rates. Short term interest rates have risen slightly but are generally low historically.
Housing prices are also generally correlated with housing starts, so that increases in housing starts usually coincide with increases in housing values, and the reverse is generally true. Below is a graph showing single family housing starts from 2000 through today.
