Item 1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information discussed in this item should be read together with the Company’s financial statements and related notes (unaudited) appearing under Item 3 of this Report.
Business and Our Investments
Money With Meaning Fund, LLC (the “Company” and sometimes as “we”, “us” or “our”), was formed on May 8, 2017, and its offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A (the “Offering”) was “qualified” by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 3, 2019.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had investments in 35 residential mortgage loans for a total of $679,069. The Company also invested in 2 promissory notes for a total of $154,954 and maintained cash and cash equivalents for an amount of $72,289.
Results of Operations
On September 10, 2019, we commenced operations upon satisfying the $250,000 minimum offering requirement for our initial Offering. For year ended December 31, 2019, we had losses in the amount of $58,093. For the six months beginning January 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2020, we had an income of $488.
In March 2020, The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout United States and the world. As of the date of this semiannual report, there is considerable uncertainty around the expected duration of the pandemic. The Company may be significantly impacted by the pandemic, which could result in material future changes to the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of the Company’s investments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Revenue
Interest Income and Realized Gain/(Loss)
For the six month period between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 (the “First Half of the Year”), we had interest income of approximately $30,891 and interest expense of $8,187. We had interest income of $9,336 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the First Half of the Year, we had realized gain of approximately $6,821. The realized gain for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,342 and $0 for the year ended December 31,2018.
Expenses
General and Administrative
For the First Half of the Year, we incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $35,903. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $63,635 and $40,199, respectively, which included auditing and professional fees, bank fees, and other costs associated with operating our business.
Capital Resources
Apart from our efforts to raise money via the sale of Class A Units in the Offering, and the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Company, we are not aware of any material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in our capital resources, or any expected material changes in the mix and relative cost of such resources. We have raised capital of $670,700 as of June 30, 2020 of which $606,500 was raised in the year ended December 31, 2019. We did not raise any money in the year ended December 31, 2018. During the First Half of the Year, we also redeemed capital of $16,849.
1
Asset Management Fees
For the First Half of the Year, we were reimbursed $4,695 by the manager. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we paid asset management fees of $5,152 and $0, respectively
The Manager is entitled to a monthly management fee of (i) one-sixth of one percent (0.167%) of the aggregate capital accounts of the Investor Members on the last day of such month, and (ii) $60 for each active asset of the Company. The Company is also required to reimburse the Manager for all costs and expenses incurred solely on behalf of the Company including fees paid to and expenses of third-party service providers, other than those expenses that are specifically the responsibility of the Manager pursuant to the agreement.
The increase in the amount of the asset management fee is attributable to increase in our NAV, as the fee is calculated as percentage of NAV each month and increase in the number of investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is seeking to raise up to $15,000,000 of capital in this Offering by selling Class A Investor Shares to Investors. As of June 30, 2020, we have raised $670,700 in capital resources.
To provide more “liquidity” – meaning cash – we might borrow money from banks or other lenders, secured by the loans and other property owned by the Company. Typically, we are able to borrow approximately 70% of the purchase price of loans.
The Company does not currently have any unfunded capital commitments. We expect to deploy most of the capital we raise in the Offering in buying loans, as described in the “Use of Proceeds” section of our Offering Circular. Should we need more capital for any reason, we intend to either sell more Class A Investor Shares or sell other classes of securities.
In selling Class A Investor Shares or other securities, we might be constrained by the securities laws. For example, we are not allowed to sell more than $50,000,000 of securities using Regulation A during any period of 12 months.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Money With Meaning Fund, LLC (the “Company”), is a limited liability company organized May 8, 2017 under the laws of Delaware. The Company was formed to invest in (buy) primarily non- performing mortgage loans, meaning loans that are secured by a mortgage on real estate (typically a single-family residential property) and delinquent in payment, and work with homeowners to resolve the nonperforming loans in a socially conscious manner.
The Company is managed by Cloud Capital Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Florida limited liability company and also a member of the Company. Cloud Capital Management, LLC (a related party) has exclusive control over all aspects of the Company’s business in its role as Manager.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company has commenced its planned principal operations and has started generating revenue. The Company is offering its Class A Units to raise further capital. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the continuation of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Company’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company commenced its planned principal operations and has started generating revenues. The Company holds $72,289 in cash as of June 30, 2020.
If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned loan operations, which could harm the business, financial condition and operating results. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
11
NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company adopted the calendar year as its basis of reporting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to continue to operationalize the Company’s plans or failing to profitably operate the business
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has $72,289 in its bank accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.
12
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The following table presents information about the Company’s investments shown by major category within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020:

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. The company has net income of $488 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Organizational Costs
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 720, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal fees incurred in connection with an offering the Company has commenced during 2019 under Regulation A. The offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A (the “Offering”) was “qualified” by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 3, 2019. Prior to the offering, these costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, there were $111,420 in offering costs that were charged to the member’s equity.
The Company capitalizes costs of its offering of securities which will be applied against proceeds received if successful. If unsuccessful, such costs will be expensed. The following table presents information about the deferred offering costs during the six months ended June 2020 and the year ended 2019 respectively:

Income Taxes
The Company is a Delaware limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, under the Internal Revenue Code, all taxable income or loss flows through to its sole member. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Income from the Company is reported and taxed to the member on its individual tax return.
The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more- likely-than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.
The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.
Loans Held for Investment
Loans held for investment will be carried at amortized cost, net of discounts and premiums, deferred loan origination fees and costs. Net deferred loan origination fees and costs on loans are amortized or accreted using the interest method over the expected life of the loans. Amortization of deferred loan fees and costs are discontinued for loans placed on nonaccrual. Any remaining deferred fees or costs and prepayment fees associated with loans that payoff prior to contractual maturity are included in loan interest income in the period of payoff. Loan commitment fees received to originate or purchase a loan are deferred and, if the commitment is exercised, recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield or, if the commitment expires unexercised, recognized as income upon expiration of the commitment. Loans held for investment are not adjusted to the lower of cost or estimated market value because it is management’s intention, and the Company has the ability, to hold these loans to maturity.
Interest on loans is credited to income as earned. Interest receivable is accrued only if deemed collectible. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest is past due 90 days based on contractual terms of the loan or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to collection of interest. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote.
15
Loans Held for Investment (continued)
Interest payments received on such loans is applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest.
A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We review loans for impairment when the loan is classified as substandard or worse, delinquent 90 days, determined by management to be collateral dependent, or when the borrower files bankruptcy or is granted a troubled debt restructure. Measurement of impairment is based on the loan’s expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, measured by reference to an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is deemed collateral dependent. The Company selects the measurement method on a loan-by-loan basis except those loans deemed collateral dependent. All loans are generally charged-off at such time the loan is classified as a loss.
Note: Manager has the option to change the specific terms due to their discretion.

Real Estate Owned
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at fair value less cost to sell with any excess loan balance charged against the allowance for estimated loan losses. The Company will obtain an appraisal and/or market valuation on all real estate owned at the time of possession. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management. Any subsequent fair value losses are recorded to other real estate owned operations with a corresponding write-down to the asset. All legal fees and direct costs, including foreclosure and other related costs are expensed as incurred.

On July 1, 2017, the Company defined the limited liability interests in the Company in the agreement. Such interests are denominated into 20,000,000 “Shares”, consisting of 1,000,000 units and 19,000,000 “Investor Shares”.

The Manager of the Company is authorized to further divide the Investor Shares into one or more series and must document the number of shares, and the rights and preferences of such series in formal authorizing resolutions. An authorizing resolution providing for issuance of any series of Investor Shares may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Investor Shares of any other series except to the extent prohibited by the terms of the authorizing resolution establishing another series of Investor Shares. As Manager of the Company, Cloud Capital Management, LLC has full and complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of the Company and to make all decisions regarding such matters. Investor Shares do not have voting rights; however, voting rights may be conferred upon all or any series of Investor Shares by the Manager of the Company in an Authorizing Resolution. On November 1, 2017, the Manager authorized the Company to issue 5,000,000 Investor Shares designated as “Class A Investor Shares,” at no par value, priced at $10.00 each, with the rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications, and limitations set forth in a formal authorizing resolution. The minimum amount the Company was seeking to raise was $500,000. On June 24, 2019, the Manager changed the number to $250,000. As of the date of any distribution, owners of Class A Investor Shares (“Class A Members”), are entitled to receive a Class A Preferred Return equal to a compounded return of 10% with respect to its unreturned investment since the date of such Class A Member’s capital contribution. Class A Members have priority in distribution relative to owners of Common Shares (“Common Members”), wherein a Class A Member will first receive the Class A Preferred Return and next its unreturned investment prior to any remaining balance being distributed to Common Members. The Manager may at any time increase or decrease the authorized and/or outstanding number of Shares of any class, including Common Shares, provided that any increase or decrease in the number of Shares outstanding shall be made pro rata with respect to all Members owning the outstanding Shares of such class.
The Member’s equity balance was $442,887 as of June 30, 2020.

NOTE 5: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Expenses since inception have been paid by the Manager of the Company, Cloud Capital Management, LLC (a related party), on the Company’s behalf. Per the LLC Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Manager and its affiliates, without interest, for expenses they incur in connection with the formation of the Company.

The denomination of the Manager’s ownership interests to Common Shares did not diminish the Manager’s ownership, and the Manager retained all of the Common Shares of the Company.
NOTE 7: MANAGEMENT INDEMNIFICATIONS
The agreement protects the Manager and its employees and affiliates from lawsuits brought by Investors. For example, it provides that the Manager will not be responsible to Investors for mistakes, errors in judgment, or other acts or omissions (failures to act) as long as the act or omission was not the result of the Manager’s fraud or willful misconduct. This limitation on the liability of the Manager and other parties is referred to as “exculpation.” The agreement also requires the Company to indemnify (reimburse) the Manager, its affiliates, and certain other parties from losses, liabilities, and expenses they incur in performing their duties. For example, if a third party sues the Manager on a matter related to the Company’s business, the Company would be required to indemnify the Manager for any losses or expenses it incurs in connection with the lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees. However, this indemnification is not available where a court or other juridical or governmental body determines that the Manager or other person is not entitled to be exculpated under the standard described in the preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no exculpation or indemnification is permitted to the extent such exculpation or indemnification would be inconsistent with the requirements of federal or state securities laws or other applicable law.
