These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: uncertainties relating to the effects of COVID-19; the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and severity of such outbreak nationally and across the globe; the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; the rate and the pace of economic recovery following economic downturns; and those other risks described in other risk factors as outlined in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the events described in “Risk Factors” occur, they could have an adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with our business, and important factors that could cause our actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, please refer to the factors set forth in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of the documents we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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,June 30, 2020, the Company extends commercial loans to residential homebuilders (in 2120 states) 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 March 31,June 30, 2020, 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 8 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, 2020. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2019 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (the “2019 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2019 Financial Statements.

 

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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-CreditInstruments—Credit Losses,” are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. For smaller reporting companies, the effective date for annual and interim periods is January 1, 2023. The Company is reviewing its policies and processes to ensure compliance with the requirements in ASU 2016-13.

FASB ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value MeasurementMeasurement. This ASU amends the disclosure requirements of Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to remove disclosure of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and to include disclosure of the range and weighted average used in Level 3 fair value measurements, among other amendments. The ASU applies to all entities that are required to provide disclosures about recurring or non-recurring fair value measurements. Amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, except for certain amendments, which should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. TheASU 2018-13 became effective date for the additional disclosures for calender year-end public companies isCompany on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation.

12. Subsequent Events

Management of the Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 11, 2020, the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

In March 2020, the Company told all of its borrowers that it would fund all loans where the underlying house was already under construction, and advised the customers to build as quickly as possible to bring the houses on the market as soon as possible. For loans where the borrower had not yet begun construction of the underlying house, the Company told the borrowers that it would not fund construction and that they should therefore not start construction. As described below, the Company is now beginning to fund additional loans in certain limited circumstances.

17

The Company continues to monitor market conditions overall and in the specific markets in which it lends. Most non-bank competitors are no longer making new loans and some are not funding existing loans. Some markets have had little to no impact from a housing perspective as a result of COVID-19, while other markets have been impacted. Borrowers in Pennsylvania and Michigan have been most impacted by COVID-19 due to the government shutting down home construction completely in those states (Pennsylvania has announced reopening construction on May 1, 2020). Opportunities for home sales for our borrowers in their markets are impacted to varying degrees. The Company is now funding new loans to borrowers in stronger markets for the purpose of developing presold homes, which loans have reduced (60%) loan-to-value ratios. The Company is also considering funding spec loans in those same markets on a case-by-case basis for loans with reduced loan-to-value ratios (50-60%).

Changes in home buyer FICO scores and other requirements by end user lenders is expected to impact the Company’s builders who focus on lower priced homes, and some real estate markets where the primary business is entertainment will be more impacted than most other markets. The Company has some customers in Orlando, Florida, and is working through issues with two of those customers. Some of those customers may have their credit quality downgraded in future quarters, and the Company is working to mitigate any losses it may incur as a result of the virus for those customers and others as they become known.

As of April 20, 2020, the Company informed some of those builders located in stronger markets to begin construction. As a result, the committed amount on the remaining loans that the Company has not released for construction to begin was $4,200 with $3,000 unfunded.

On May 7, 2020, the Company made the decision to reopen lending under normal, pre-COVID-19 terms for a limited group of certain of its customers. In addition, the decision was made to allow rehab loans to builders at terms that are less conservative than the 50% loan to value established in April 2020 but more conservative than terms prior to the arrival of COVID-19.

Management is also contemplating purchasing debt from other similar lending companies at deep discounts, but does not have any serious prospects at this time.

 

On May 5, 2020 wethe Company entered into ana loan agreement (the “PPP Loan”) with LCA Bank Corporation to borrow approximately $362$361 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. The PPP is intended to provide loans to qualified businesses to cover payroll and certain other identified costs. The loan has an interest rate of 1.0% and a term of 24 months. No payments are due for the first 6six months, although interest accrues, and monthly payments, which include interest, are due over the next 18 months to pay off the loan. Funds from the loan may only be used for certain purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities. All or a portion of the loan may be forgivable, as provided by the terms of the PPP. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations. We may prepay the loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

 

Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance (the “EIDL Advance”)

The Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance is a $10 grant for companies that successfully submit an EIDL (“Economic Injury Disaster Loan”) application. During April 2020, the Company received the grant (the “EIDL Advance”) which may be used for payroll and other certain operating expenses. The EIDL Advance will reduce the forgiveness of the PPP Loan depending on certain parameters required by the CARES Act.

13. Subsequent Events

Management of the Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 6, 2020, the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

In July 2020, the Company purchased two loans at cost from Daniel M. Wallach (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of managers) for approximately $198. Those loans had previously been purchased from the Company by Mr. Wallach.

Also, in July 2020, the Company reserved certain loan losses for loans issued to one of its largest borrowers. However, that borrower has agreed to repay most of the amounts written off, contingent upon the borrower receiving revenues from a construction management agreement it has with an unrelated party. Any revenue received from this arrangement will be income to the Company.

The Company is continuously monitoring the markets, builders, and the COVID-19 situation for the remaining loans which the Company has not yet released for construction. Management anticipates revisiting these lending parameters in Mayduring the third quarter of 2020 as the COVID-19 situation continues to develop. Management also notesHowever, due to the continued cases of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still economic uncertainties that while demand for its lending products declined in 2019 due increases in competition, demand during the pandemiccould negatively impact net income (loss). Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impact is increasing.unknown at this time.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

(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 “2019 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

 

Overview

 

The Company faceshas been impacted and continues to face risks related to COVID-19, which has caused significant disruptions to the economy. COVID-19 has spread globally and the outbreak has caused significant disruptions to the economy including in the United States and in all of the markets in which the Company lends. The Company’s operating results depend significantly on the homebuilding industry.

 

During March 2020, the Company made the decision due to the potential impact of COVID-19 to inform its borrowers that the Company would fund all loans where the underlying asset was currently under construction. For borrowers who currently haveBorrowers with loans wherein which the underlying asset was at a non-start position they were informed to not start construction until told to do so by the Company.

 

During April 2020, as the Company continued to monitor market conditions overall and in the specific markets in which the Company lends, the Company observed that some markets had little to no impact from a housing perspective as a result of COVID-19; however, the Company’s borrowers in Pennsylvania and Michigan were significantly impacted due to the government shutting down home construction completely.completely, and customers in Florida were significantly impacted by the changes in lending rules for end users and the high levels of unemployment caused by COVID-19. The Company made the decision to fund new loans to borrowers in stronger markets for the purpose of developing presold homes, which loans have reduced loan-to-value ratios. In addition, the Company will continuecontinued to monitor funding spec loans in some markets on a case-by-case basis for loans with reduced loan -to-valueloan-to-value ratios. The Company also stopped recognizing interest on loans issued to customers impacted by COVID-19 which continued through June and is expected to continue until those loans are paid off. Through June 2020, the amount of estimated unearned interest income due to COVID-19 that was not recognized for the second quarter was $402.

 

On May 7, 2020, the Company made the decision to reopen lending under normal, pre-COVID-19 terms for a limited group of certain of its customers. In addition, the decision was made to allow rehab loans to builders at terms that are less conservative than the 50% loan to valuethose established in April 2020 but more conservative than terms prior to the arrival of COVID-19. Currently, the Company is offering normal terms to approximately 40% of its customers, and restricted terms to approximately 60% of its customers. The Company averaged $2,251 in new loan originations in the first five months of 2020, but under these terms the Company originated $7,247 of loans in June 2020 and $6,374 of loans in July 2020. The fees from these originations is typically recognized over 12 months and has had little impact on our financial statements through June 2020; however, the new loan fees from these two months before deferred loan origination costs was $322 which we will recognize over 12 months. The Company attributes this increase in volume to many of its larger nonbank competitors going out of business or leaving the lending business.

Net income for the first quarter ofand six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $270$2,434 and $2,704, respectively, when compared to the same periodperiods of 2019. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the economic effects stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, which included the following:

 

FeeInterest income decreased $236 or 33%$805 to $484$1,044 and $426 to $3,135 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods of 2019. The decrease was due primarily to direct write offs of interest income of $469 for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, the Company estimated $402 in reduced interest income for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 due to non-performing loans not accruing interest due to COVID-19.

Fee income decreased $293 to $312 and $529 to $796 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019. Originations for the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 were $7,771$10,233 and $18,504, respectively, compared to $18,982$13,879 and $32,861 for the same periodperiods of 2019;2019. The decrease in originations was primarily due to competition and COVID-19.the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Loan loss provision increased $1,409 to $1,560 and $1,397 to $1,595 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019. The increase was due primarily to impairment on loans related to COVID-19. 

Loss

Impairment loss on foreclosed assets due to COVID-19 increased $91 for both the salequarter and impairmentsix months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company anticipates a moderate profit in the third quarter of 2020 and an increase in profit in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2020. To achieve these increases in profits, the Company is focused on the following three things:

1.First, the Company is focused on reducing the number of assets currently not paying interest. Due primarily to the impact of COVID-19, the Company transferred the loan receivables balance of $9,728 for one of our largest borrowers into a non-performing asset. The Company’s reduction of non-performing assets is expected to be achieved by a combination of the selling of foreclosed assets increased $64 dueand the payoff of nonperforming loans;
2.Second, the Company is focused on continuing the higher level of new loan originations that the Company has seen in June and July 2020; and
3.Third, the Company seeks to one certain asset being soldhave the cash to fund new originations through new financing and additional costs incurred to complete constructionthe potential reduction of additional properties.nonperforming assets.

 

We anticipate that the housing market in most of the areas in which we do business will be strong despite the impact of COVID-19, and that doing business with our best customers in those markets will provide good performing loans for our balance sheet. We also anticipate that the losses we incurred in principal related to COVID-19 will not continue, and that the lack of interest due to nonperforming assets from COVID-19 will decrease significantly over the course of the rest of 2020.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company purchased $10,000 of life insurance covering Daniel M. Wallach for the benefit of the Company as a beneficiary, which renews annually.

We had $54,197$49,797 and $55,369 in loan assets as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, as of March 31,June 30, 2020, we had 218223 construction loans in 2120 states with 6764 borrowers and nineeight development loans in four states with five borrowers.

 

Cash used in operations decreased $1,019$1,413 for threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019. Our decrease in operating cash flow was due primarily to a decrease in interest escrowimpairment loss related to impacts of $349, net income of $270 and change in loan origination fees, net of $250.the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 2019 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, 2019 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%. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity).

 

Interest income on loans increased 1%decreased to 8% and 11% for the quarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 14% for both the same periodquarter and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company expensed $469 in interest income for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 due to impairment of 2019 due primarilyloans associated with four of our borrowers directly related to our cost of funds. DuringCOVID-19. In addition, interest not earned during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, our cost of fundsrelated to those borrowers was 10.69% and 10.45%, respectively. In addition, loans receivables, net increased $4,206 to $54,197 as of March 31, 2020 compared to $49,991 as of March 31, 2019. approximately $402.

The difference between estimated interest rate receivedincome on loans due to COVID-19 and the interest paid was 3% for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods ended March 31, 2020 andof 2019, which is our standard margin.

 

We currently anticipate that the difference between our interest income and interest expense will continue to be 3% for the remainder of 2020, however our margin could be compressed as a result of COVID-19. 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%.

 

Fee income. Our construction loan fee is 5% on the amount we commit to lend, which is amortized over the expected life of each loans. In addition, our development loansloan. We do not recognize a loan fee.fee on our development loans. When loans terminate before than their expected life, the remaining fee is recognized at the termination of the loan.

22

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, fee income on loans decreased 3% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our fee income included a modification charge to our largest customer of $125. Excluding the modification charge, fee income on loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was 5%. During the first quarter ofJune 30, 2020, our lower origination of new loans (partlywas primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our lower originations of new loans was partly due to competition and partly due to the COVID-19) causedimpact of the reduction to 4% for fee income inCOVID-19 pandemic. We anticipate that quarter. Higherhigher originations orand a reduction in the balance of old loans willwould result in the fee income returning to 5%.

 

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, 2020 and 2019, $1,581we had 46 impaired loans in the aggregate amount of $12,993 and $2,617eight impaired loans in the aggregate amount of $1,663 that were not paying interest, respectively. As of late April 2020, and directlyNon-performing assets not related to the impact of COVID-19 were $1,504; however, due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company transferred the loan receivables balance of $9,728 for one of our customers in default located in Orlando, Florida enteredlargest borrowers into negotiations to sell half of his loans to another of our customers. We are working with the customer with respect to the remainder of his loans either through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a foreclosure.

non-performing asset.

 

Foreclosed assets do not provide a monthly interest return. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, foreclosed assets were $5,031$5,022 and $6,069,$7,964, respectively, which resulted in a negative impact on our interest spread in both years.

 

21

The amount of nonperforming assets is expected to increase overdecrease in the nextthird quarter due to some of the nonperforming loans becoming foreclosed assets, and will decrease2020 as we continue to sell our assets wherewhen construction is complete.

Salaries and related expenses decreased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 by $216 and $300, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019. The decrease was due to the increase in deferred originations costs of $87 to $181 and $50 to $314 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods of 2019 directly related to the reduction of the number of loan originations. In addition, profit sharing expense decreased to $0 for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 profit sharing expense was $70 and $144, respectively.

Loan and foreclosed asset expenses increased $115for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 by $72 and $187, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019 due to additional construction costs incurred to complete properties. The Company had 15 foreclosed assets under construction as of March 31, 2020 compared to threereal estate owned asset expenses for the same period of 2019;taxes and insurance.

 23Legal and accounting fees increased $12 due to additional costs incurred related to the amendment of our third Indenture;
 Board related expenses increased $9 due to the addition of one board member in April 2019;
Travel increased $27 due to timing of field travel; and
These items were offset by a decrease in salaries and related expenses which resulted from the reduction of two employees and lower Company quota bonuses.

The increase in foreclosed assets was directly related$93 to properties acquired back$200, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019 primarily due to charges as a result of the deathimpact of a borrower in 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we finished our largest foreclosed asset in Sarasota, Florida and recorded an impairment of $80 during the quarter on that property.COVID-19 pandemic.

 

We do not anticipate significant 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.

 

Loan Loss Provision

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On May 5, 2020 the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “PPP Loan”) with LCA Bank Corporation to borrow $361 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. The PPP is intended to provide loans to qualified businesses to cover payroll and certain other identified costs. The loan has an interest rate of 1.0% and a term of 24 months. No payments are due for the first six months, although interest accrues, and monthly payments, which include interest, are due over the next 18 months to pay off the loan. Funds from the loan may only be used for certain purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities. All or a portion of the loan may be forgivable, as provided by the terms of the PPP. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations. We may prepay the loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance (the “EIDL Advance”)

The Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance is a $10 grant for companies that successfully submit an EIDL (“Economic Injury Disaster Loan”) application. During April 2020, the Company received the grant (the “EIDL Advance”) which may be used for payroll and other certain operating expenses. The EIDL Advance will reduce the forgiveness of the PPP Loan depending on certain parameters required by the CARES Act.

 

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.loan assets, net. The ratio of redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital to loan assets, net was 13%9.3% and 12.9% as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.2019, respectively. The ratio decreased significantly due to losses related to COVID-19. We anticipate this ratio to decrease until more preferred equity is added.increase as we retain earnings for the remainder of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity management objective is to meet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and customers. Combined loans outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 227were 231 and 250, respectively. Gross loans receivable as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $56,077$52,905 and $57,608, respectively. Our unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit, and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $15,259$15,585 and $16,662 as March 31,June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

We anticipate an increase in our gross loan receivables over the 12 months subsequent to March 31,June 30, 2020 by directly increasing originations by funding new loans to borrowers in stronger markets for the purpose of developing presold homes, which loans have reduced loan-to-value ratios. During the secondmarkets. Competition has declined and, third quarter of 2020, we expect that loan originations will decrease compared to the same period of 2019 due to risk mitigation in response to COVID-19. In addition, competition has declined; therefore, we believe the ability to return to historical levels may be achieved through 2021.

 

To fund our combined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt, and equity, which are described in the following table:

Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs  27,606   26,520 
Equity  6,963   7,147   4,641   7,147 

 

Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs decreased $937 during the three months ended March$2,698 to $24,293 as of June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2020,2019 which consisted of a decrease in borrowings secured by loans of $1,362$3,159 offset by an increase in affiliate lines of $425.$462. 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, 2020 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 decreases in nonperforming assets, many of which are not used as collateral in secured lines, and increases in our unsecured debt and equity. Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $1,896 during the three months ended March$1,086 to $27,606 as of June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 20202019 due primarily to an increased participation in our Notes programProgram of $725$429 and other unsecured debts of $1,171. 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, 2020.$657.

 

In addition, in May 2020, we borrowed approximately $362$361 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. The PPP is intended to provide loans to qualified businesses to cover payroll and certain other identified costs. Funds from the loan may only be used for certain purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities. All or a portion of the loan may be forgivable, as provided by the terms of the PPP.

 

32

Equity decreased $184$2,506 during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 due primarily to distributions ofthe decrease in net income for Class A common equity of $217 which was offset by earned but not paid distributions of Series C cumulative preferred units of $89.$2,495. We anticipate an increase in our equity during the 12 months subsequent to March 31,June 30, 2020, through retaining earnings and the issuance of additional Series C cumulative preferred equity (“Series C Preferred Units.Units”). If we are not able to increase our equity through retained earnings or the issuance of additional Series C Preferred Units, we will rely more heavily on raising additional funds through the Notes Program.

34

If we anticipate the ability to not fund our projected increases in loan balances as discussed above, we may reduce new loan originations to reduce need for additional funds.

The total amount maturing through the year ending December 31, 2020 is $31,813,$28,532, which consists of secured borrowings of $25,439$23,321 and unsecured borrowings of $6,373.$5,211.

 

Secured borrowings maturing through year ending December 31, 2020 significantly consistsconsist of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance, Inc. and S. K. Funding, LLC) and six lenders. Our secured borrowings are classified as maturing during 2020 due primarily tobecause the related collateral is demand loans. The following lists our secured facilities with maturity and renewal dates:

 

 Swanson – $5,193$4,708 due July 2021, will automatically renew unless notice is given;
 Shuman – $1,325 due July 2020,2021, will automatically renew unless notice is given;
 S. K. Funding, LLC – $3,500 of the total due July 2020,2021, will automatically renew unless notice is given;
 S. K. Funding, LLC – $3,271$2,316 with no expiration date;
 Builder Finance, Inc. – $8,428$7,918 with no expiration date;
 New2019 LOC Agreementsagreements$3,096$2,896 generally one-month notice and six months to reduce principal balance to zero;
 William Myrick – $614$650 with no expiration date; and
 Mortgage payable – $11.$8.

 

Unsecured borrowings due by December 31, 2020 consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $1,949$1,381 and $4,424,$3,830, 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 81%80% of our Note holders reinvest upon maturity. Our other unsecured debt has historically renewed. For more information on other unsecured borrowings, see Note 56 – 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. Our expectation to grow loan asset balances is subject to changes due to changes in demand, competition, and COVID-19. 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. Our analysis of the COVID-19 impact on housing in the markets in which we do business is mixed. In many markets, our customers see demand as outpacing new housing starts. In some markets, few houses are selling due to governmental restrictions on Realtors. In Orlando, Florida we anticipate some(which is our second highest geographic concentration risk by borrower), there has been a significant lack of demand for housing sold by customers who sell more affordable homes, which is likely to lead to reductionshas resulted in selling prices.losses that we recognized in the second quarter of 2020. We note that nationwide, fewer first-time home buyers will qualify for government backed loans due to FICO score and other criteria changes.

 

Interest rates have several impacts on our business. First, rates affect housing (starts, home size, etc.). High long-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 get 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-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-year U.S. treasury rates, which are being used by us here to approximate CD rates. The rates we are paying our investors are going down due to COVID-19, andincluding the rate on our recent offeringthree-month Note which includes shorterhas additional redemption options withbut lower returns.,returns, because other alternative investments are paying lower rates. This in turn will lower the rates to our borrowers over time. We also anticipate some lower cost secured funding in the secondthird quarter of 2020 which will also lower both our cost of funds and the rate we charge our customers.

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.

To date, changes in housing starts, CD rates, and inflation have not had a material impact on our business.

 (a)

During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2020, there was no information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K which was not disclosed in a report on Form 8-K.

On May 5, 2020, we entered into an agreement to borrow approximately $362,000 from LCA Bank Corporation pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. The PPP is intended to provide loans to qualified businesses to cover payroll and certain other identified costs. The loan has an interest rate of 1.0% and a term of 24 months. No payments are due for the first 6 months, although interest accrues, and monthly payments, which include interest, are due over the next 18 months to pay off the loan. Funds from the loan may only be used for certain purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, and utilities. All or a portion of the loan may be forgivable, as provided by the terms of the PPP. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations. We may prepay the loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

The foregoing description of the loan obtained pursuant to the PPP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement and the Note attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
