iCap Vault 1, LLC and Subsidiary
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Note 1. Nature of Business
iCap Vault 1, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on July 30, 2018 pursuant to and in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act for the purpose of acquiring real estate investments in the United States and providing a rate of return to its investors. The Company was organized for the principal purposes of (a) sourcing, acquiring, financing and managing a portfolio of investments and (b) engaging in all activities incidental or ancillary thereto as the Manager, iCap Vault Management, LLC (the “Manager”), deems necessary or advisable. The Company’s Limited Liability Company Agreement dated August 1, 2018 (the “Operating Agreement”) provides for one class of membership units. The Company had 1,000 units issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021, all of which are held by one member. The Operating Agreement was amended and restated on September 18, 2020 to clarify that the member’s liability is limited to the member’s equity plus any debt for which a personal guarantee has been given by the member. The Operating Agreement continues until the Company is dissolved.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Vault Holding, LLC (“Holding”) and Vault Holding 1, LLC (“Holding 1”) formed September 27, 2018 and April 28, 2020, respectively. Each entity was formed with the intention of owning one or more standalone subsidiaries (each a “Portfolio SPE”), which itself will hold real property investments and real estate-based financial instruments. Both Holding and Holding I provide guarantees to secured noteholders of the Company. Holding provides the guarantee to holders of private placement notes. Holding 1 provides a guarantee to holders of publicly available variable denomination floating rate demand notes the Company offers through a public registration. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Holding owns six townhomes through an SPE subsidiary, VH Willows Townhomes, LLC and has invested in four loans (See Notes 3 and 4), whereas Holding 1 has not commenced operations and has no assets and liabilities.
The Company generates revenue from rentals of real property investments and interest on investments in financial instruments secured by real estate. Management intends for the Company to generate additional revenue from price appreciation of real properties upon their disposition.
Management intends for the Company to fund its operations and investments through demand notes issued pursuant to a $500,000,000 private placement (“Private Placement Notes”) and $500,000,000 of Variable Denomination Floating Rate Demand Notes (“Public Demand Notes”).
On September 18, 2020, the Company, Holding 1 and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as trustee, entered into an Indenture, which complies with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, under which the publicly registered demand notes are offered.
On November 24, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11/A (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the SEC on November 2, 2020, effective and the Company is authorized to sell $500,000,000 of Public Demand Notes on a continuous basis, in a direct public offering. On April 29, 2021, the Company filed with the SEC Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. The SEC declared Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 effective on May 5, 2021. No additional securities were registered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have been consistently applied. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Principles of Consolidation:
The financial statements represent the consolidation of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Holding, Holding 1 and their wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting for Acquisitions
The Company allocates the purchase price of investment properties to the underlying assets (and liabilities, if applicable) based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Investment properties generally consist of land and buildings. Management estimates the fair values at the date of acquisition using either internal valuations or third-party appraisals. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash are held at major commercial banks which hold balances that at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.
The Company reserves a minimum of between 5-10% of the outstanding principal balances of Private Placement Notes to accommodate demand payments permitted by the private placement memorandum (see Note 6).
Notes Receivable and Interest Income:
Notes receivable are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (“balance sheets”) at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. Interest income is recognized at the contractual rate of interest over the term of the note. The accrual of interest is discontinued when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the amount ultimately to be collected will be insufficient to cover the additional interest payments. The Company designates notes as non-performing at such time as (i) the note has a maturity default; or (ii) in the opinion of management, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note.
The Company may fund a specific note receivable origination net of an interest reserve to ensure timely interest payments at the inception of the note. Any interest reserve is amortized over the period that the amount is prepaid. In the event of an early note payoff, any unapplied interest reserves would be first applied to any accrued but unpaid interest and then as a reduction of principal.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Management routinely reviews notes receivable for impairment and provides an allowance for credit losses if all or a portion of the note is determined to be uncollectible. Notes are charged off to the allowance for credit losses when the contractual amount is no longer realizable.
Investment Property
Investment property consists of land and buildings and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization as applicable. Buildings are depreciated using a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 40 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations in the period realized.
Management evaluates investment properties for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from that investment property is less than the carrying values under its historical net cost basis. When estimating expected future cash flows, management considers factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other pertinent factors. Upon determination that there is a permanent impairment, the carrying values of the applicable investment properties are reduced to their relative fair values. For investment properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair values, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the investment property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded
Rental Income
Rental income includes revenue derived from fixed lease payments and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable period of the lease. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the underlying asset is available for use by the lessee. The Company’s leases are short-term and are one-year or less.
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
The costs of materials, consulting, payroll, and payroll related costs incurred in developing internal use computer software are capitalized when incurred. The cost of certain upgrades and enhancements to internal use software that result in additional functionality are also capitalized. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post implementation stages are charged to expense as incurred. Once a development project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use, software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a three-year estimated useful life.
Management reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Indicators include but are not limited to a significant decrease in the market value of an intangible asset group or if there are material differences between operating results and the Company’s forecasted expectations.
If indicators arise, management evaluates the asset group’s recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition to the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, management estimates the fair value of the asset group using appropriate fair value techniques. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.
The Company recognized an impairment of capitalized software of $157,143 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Income Taxes:
The Company is a limited liability company and is not taxable for federal and most state income tax purposes. As a result, earnings or losses for federal and most state purposes are included in the tax returns of the sole member. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.
Holding and Holding 1 are subsidiaries, and as single member LLCs are considered disregarded entities for income tax purposes, as well the SPE subsidiary of Holding.
Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements if management determines it is “more-likely-than-not” that the positions are sustainable based on their technical merits. The term “more-likely-than-not” contemplates a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The determination of whether the position meets this threshold is made based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. Tax liabilities for tax uncertainties are carried by the Company until such time that the statute of limitations or period under audit for the applicable jurisdiction is settled. Since its formation, the Company is subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities.
Offering Costs:
Costs incurred in the private placement offering and the organization of the Limited Liability Company (collectively “Offering Costs”) are expensed as incurred.
Notes Payable and Related Costs:
Public Demand Notes and Private Placement Notes are recorded at the principal amount of the notes plus accrued but unpaid interest. Interest accrues daily and is recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (“statement of operations”) when incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The recorded amounts of the Company’s cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, affiliated notes receivable, related party receivables and payables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and demand notes payable approximate their fair values based upon the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Liquidity and Going Concern:
The Company has issued a limited amount of Public Demand Notes and Private Placement Notes through September 30, 2021 and does not have sufficient cash or sources of revenue to cover its operation costs and debt service. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries have generated recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are available to be issued. 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. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is dependent upon raising additional financing through issuance of debt in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this situation in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations from payments of expenses by its related entities, which are included in related party payables on the balance sheets, equity contributions, and issuance of Public Demand Notes and Private Placement demand notes.

The Company’s operations may be affected by the pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in 2020. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s ability to make investments through its subsidiaries, negative impact to revenue related to real estate holdings, negative impact on its workforce, unavailability of professional services and other resources, disruption to credit markets necessary for success of the Company’s business model, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company’s subsidiaries.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU updates Topic 326 by removing the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The guidance in ASU 2016-13 is effective for “public business entities,” for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the pending adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Demand Notes
Private Placement
The Company is offering up to $500,000,000 of Private Placement Notes dated October 1, 2018. Private Placement Notes are being offered through August 31, 2022 and are subordinated to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ future secured bank debt and credit facilities and structurally subordinated to indebtedness or other liabilities of Portfolio SPEs. The Private Placement Notes are secured by a pledge of Holding’s equity interests in Portfolio SPEs until such time of a registered offering and a guarantee from Holding for the benefit of the noteholders.
The Private Placement Notes, inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest, can be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time through a demand for repayment but in no instance will an individual note extend beyond 15 years following its issuance date. The Company established two sources of liquidity to address demand payments: first, the Company will set aside minimum reserves of between 5-10% of the outstanding principal balances in available cash reserves (see Note 1); second, the Company plans to establish accounts with lending sources pursuant to which funds will be advanced to the Company. These lending sources have not been established at present and are not expected to be established until the Company secures additional real estate assets.
The Company released Supplement No. 2 to its private placement memorandum on March 1, 2021 which modified the interest rates on Private Placement Notes and introduced an interest premium program that matches the rewards program associated with the Public Demand Notes. Prior to March 1, 2021, the Private Placement Notes accrued interest at the rate of 2.00% per annum, based on a 365-day year, compounded daily; provided, however, that if an investor agreed to forego the right to make a demand for payment during the first year after issuance, the interest rate for that year will be 3.00%, and then would revert to the standard 2.00% for following periods. The Company was able to increase and subsequently decrease the interest rate at its discretion, provided the rate would not drop below 2.00% or 3.00% for the first year as applicable. In addition, Supplement No. 2 amended the offering to allow Holding’s guarantee to continue for as long as the Private Placement Notes remain outstanding. Originally, the guarantee was to terminate 30 days after an effective registered offering. The amendment also allows the original security agreement and guaranty agreement to remain in place, removed the noteholder’s ability to exchange their notes for registered notes, and amended the private placement memorandum to not terminate upon effectiveness of the registered offering. The Company released Supplement No. 3 to its private placement memorandum on October 27, 2021, which updated the status of the offering, provided descriptions of investments made since Supplement No. 2, added discussions of operating results and transactions, provided administrative additions and restated all the risk factors.

Publicly Registered Debt
The Company is offering up to $500,000,000 of Public Demand Notes on a continuous basis pursuant to a registration filed with the SEC, which is effective November 24, 2020, as amended May 5, 2021. The Public Demand Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Average Savings Account Rate as published by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”), plus 2% (“Floating Rate”). In addition, noteholders are eligible to accrue one or more interest rate premiums (“Interest Rate Premiums”). Both the Floating Rate and Interest Rate Premiums accrue monthly without compounding unless the noteholder opts to reinvest interest into additional Public Demand Notes, in which case, interest will accrue and compound daily. The Public Demand Notes are secured by a guarantee from Holding 1 for the benefit of the noteholders and the membership interest in Holding 1, which will hold interests in real estate and real estate-based financial instruments. There are no restrictions on the guarantee. Currently, Holding I is limited in its ability to satisfy the guarantee itself as it has not commenced operations and has no assets. Public Demand Notes will be subordinate to any security interest in favor of lenders of credit facilities.
The Floating Rate resets quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year based on the Average Savings Account Rate posted by the FDIC on December 15, March 15, June 15, and September 15, respectively, of the prior month. “Average Savings Account Rate” means the “national rate” for savings account products, which is the average of rates paid by all insured depository institutions and credit unions for which data is available, with rates weighted by each institution’s share of domestic deposits, as calculated by the FDIC.
Interest Rate Premiums are available for noteholders whose Public Demand Note features meet certain criteria. The features and criteria are as follows below:
Minimum principal amounts of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000 of Public Demand Notes, earn additional per annum interest of 0.10%, 0.25%, 0.50% and 1.00%, respectively.
Noteholders that waive the right to demand repayment of the Public Demand Notes for 12, 18 or 24 months will earn additional per annum interest during those months of 1.00%, 1.50%, and 2.00%, respectively.
Noteholders that are clients of Registered Investment Advisors (“RIA”) with whom the Company has a selling agreement and have made a direct investment through the RIA, will earn additional per annum interest of 1.00% for as long as the selling agreement is effective. For purposes of determining the term of this premium, reinvested interest shall not be considered a direct investment by a noteholder.
The Public Demand Notes are subject to repayment upon the earlier of demand by the noteholder or redemption by the Company. Public Demand Notes have no stated maturity.
The outstanding Public Demand Notes payable, inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest, totaled $1,580,344 and $0, at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Approximately 71% and 0%, respectively, of these Public Demand Notes are held by foreign investors.

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of iCap Vault 1, LLC and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Vault Holding, LLC and Vault Holding 1, LLC (collectively, the “Company” or “iCap Vault”), should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021, as the same may be updated from time to time. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
iCap Vault 1, LLC, the issuer of the Public Demand Notes (as hereinafter defined), was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on July 30, 2018. Vault Holding, LLC (“Holding”), a wholly owned subsidiary of iCap Vault 1, LLC, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on September 27, 2018. Vault Holding 1, LLC (“Holding 1”), a wholly owned subsidiary of iCap Vault 1, LLC and the guarantor of the public placement demand notes (“Public Demand Notes”), was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on April 28, 2020. The Company has commenced only limited operations, primarily focused on organizational matters in connection with the Registered Offering (as hereinafter defined). Each of Holding and Holding 1 was formed with the intention of owning one or more standalone subsidiaries which itself, whether directly or through special purpose entities, will hold income-producing real estate and financial instruments related to real estate in selected metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S. (each, a “Portfolio Investment”) with the objective of generating a rate of return from the Portfolio Investments that is greater than the costs necessary to purchase, finance and service them. Additionally, each of Holding and Holding 1 provides guarantees to secured demand noteholders of the Company. Holding provides such a guarantee to holders of private placement secured demand notes (“Private Placement Notes”). Holding 1 provides a guarantee to holders of the Public Demand Notes the Company intends to offer through the Registered Offering. To date, Holding has made five loans, one loan in the amount of $3,448,618, provided by the Company as an investment in Holding, to Colpitts Sunset LLC (“Colpitts”), an affiliated entity, in exchange for a promissory note bearing 10% interest and secured by a deed of trust on property owned by Colpitts, one loan in the amount of $2,000,000 to individuals who are minority co-owners of an affiliated entity, provided by the Company as an investment in Holding, in exchange for a promissory note bearing 8% interest and secured by a deed of trust on property owned by the borrower, one loan in the amount of $1,200,000, provided by the Company as an investment in Holding, to 725 Broadway, LLC (“725 Broadway”), an affiliated entity, in exchange for a promissory note bearing 10% interest and secured by a deed of trust on property owned by 725 Broadway, and another in the amount of $2,000,000, provided by the Company as an investment in Holding, to CS2 Real Estate Development, LLC (“CS2”), an affiliated entity, in exchange for a promissory note bearing 12% interest and secured by a deed of trust on property owned by CS2. Holding purchased a note receivable that is secured by a deed of trust from iCap Brislawn, LLC, an entity that is owned by iCap Northwest Opportunity Income Fund LLC, an affiliated entity, on October 15, 2021 for $1,069,895. The note is receivable from an unrelated third party, bears interest at 10% per annum and matures December 26, 2021.
The Company invested $3,430,766 into Holding, which subsequently invested $3,430,766 into VH Willows Townhomes, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holding. VH Willows Townhomes, LLC purchased six townhomes totaling $3,420,000 from iCap Investments, LLC, an affiliated entity. The purchase was made in two equal installments, one on April 23, 2021, for $1,710,000 and another on May 7, 2021 for $1,710,000.
Holding 1 has not commenced operations and has no assets and liabilities. Holding 1 does not currently own any Portfolio Investments.
iCap Vault Management, LLC, the manager (“Manager”) of the Company, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on July 31, 2018 and has since been only engaged in limited operations. We intend to generate revenues in the following ways from our properties: from net rental income on our properties and from price appreciation of the properties upon their disposition. For the financial instruments secured by real estate that we invest in, we intend to generate revenues from the interest income received on such financial instruments.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change. Neither management of the Company, nor the sole member of the Company, have any plans or arrangements to enter into a change of control, business combination or similar transaction or to change management.

Portfolio Investments may be held directly by the Company or held in a standalone wholly owned limited liability company (each, a “Portfolio SPE”) and one or more Portfolio SPEs may be held by a holding company that is wholly owned by the Company, rather than by the Company directly. The rental and interest income earned allows us to provide a rate of return to investors who acquire the Public Demand Notes. The Public Demand Notes will be secured by the membership interests in Holding 1. The Company’s business plan targets primarily income-producing properties and seeks to acquire the properties debt-free, and the Company expects to generate income from the financial instruments that it may hold. The Portfolio Investments will serve as collateral for one or more credit facilities entered into by the Company or an affiliate of us.
The locations of the properties are determined by selecting metropolitan statistical areas upon consultation with market professionals, such as real estate analytics companies, title and escrow companies, real estate brokerages, land-use specialists, licensed surveyors and civil engineers, and in-depth internal review of economic data. The Company may adjust its investment criteria to accommodate changing market conditions but will generally seek Portfolio Investments in attractive locations with strong rental income and a likelihood of long-term appreciation of value.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated interest income from related party promissory notes of $154,993 and $0, respectively, rental income of $45,830 and $0, respectively, and reported a net loss of $321,156 and $315,771. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated interest income from related party promissory notes of $300,077 and $0, respectively, rental income of $79,700 and $0, respectively, and reported a net loss of $948,617 and $763,847, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had cash flow used in operating activities of $891,376 and $803,414, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we had member’s deficit of $1,458,943. The capital to be raised in the Registered Offering has been budgeted to cover the costs associated with beginning to operate our company, marketing expense, and acquisition related costs. We intend to use the majority of the proceeds from the Registered Offering for the acquisition of Portfolio Investments. However, closing and other acquisition related costs such as title insurance, professional fees and taxes will likely require cash. We do not have the ability to quantify any of the expenses as they will all depend on size of deal, price, and place versus procuring new financing, due diligence performed (such as appraisal, environmental, property condition reports), legal and accounting, etc. There is no way to predict or otherwise detail the expenses.

Recent Developments
COVID-19
The Company’s operations may be affected by the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s ability to make investments through its subsidiaries, negative impact to revenue related to real estate holdings, negative impact on its workforce, unavailability of professional services and other resources, disruption to credit markets necessary for success of the Company’s business model, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company’s subsidiaries.
The supply of housing inventory in certain geographical areas may become further restricted through a shutdown of construction activity. Additionally, a moratorium on real estate transactions may be imposed in reaction to the pandemic. These housing market impacts may limit the Company’s ability to acquire or dispose of real estate assets.
General employment in the region may continue to suffer as the pandemic continues. Some local governments have proposed rent or eviction moratoria, or similar programs of rent abatement, in response to the sudden upturn in unemployment. Any of these factors could cause a future decline in the market rate for residential rentals negatively impacting the Company’s income and cash flow from its real estate holdings.
Employees of affiliated companies could be medically or mentally affected by the pandemic and may be required to continue to work remotely, particularly given the potential for complete or partial school closures. This situation could cause a reduction in productivity or the inability to complete critical tasks for the Company.
As of the date of this filing, Management believes the Company has not experienced significant impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Plan of Operations
We believe we will need at least $500,000 to provide working capital and $500,000 for professional fees for the next 12 months.

We hope to reach the following milestones in the next 12 months:
● | December 2021—Continue fundraising. | |
● | January 2022—Continue to search for properties to purchase or loans to make. | |
● | March 2022—Make first investment with funds raised from the Registered Offering. |
Acquisitions will depend highly on our funds, the availability of those funds, availability of assets that meet our investment criteria and the size of the assets to be acquired. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete such acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020
Revenue
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 was $154,993 and $0, respectively, which is from related party promissory notes. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of the note issued to Colpitts Sunset, LLC in October 2020 and two additional notes issued to minority co-owners of an affiliate and to 725 Broadway, LLC in April and May 2021, respectively. Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 was $45,830 and $0, respectively. The increase in rental income was due to the acquisition of investment properties during 2021.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $399,171 as compared to $308,633 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increased costs related to professional services associated with the Registered Offering and management fees associated with the increase in issuances of the Private Placement Notes and Public Demand Notes since the third quarter of 2020.
Other Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $122,940 and $7,138, respectively, in which $72,292 and $0, respectively, was related to related party Private Placement Notes. The increase in interest expenses was driven by an increase in Public Demand Notes and Private Placement Notes sales since the third quarter of 2020.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $321,156 as compared to a net loss of $315,771 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase in demand notes sales which drove the increase in interest expense and professional services associated with the Registered Offering, resulting in increased operating expenses. This was offset by the increase in rental income related to the VH Willows acquisition during the second quarter of 2021 and increase in interest income due to the two additional notes receivable issued since the third quarter of 2020.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Revenue
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $300,077 and $0, respectively, which is from related party promissory notes. The increase in interest income was the result of three notes issued since the third quarter of 2020. Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $79,700 and $0, respectively. The increase in rental income was due to the acquisition of investment properties since the third quarter of 2020.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,091,535 as compared to $747,042 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Other Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $237,161 and $16,805, respectively, in which $135,882 and $0, respectively, was related to related party Private Placement Notes. The increase in interest expenses was driven by an increase in Public Demand Notes and Private Placement Notes sales.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $948,617 as compared to a net loss of $763,847 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase in demand notes issued which drove the increase in interest expense and professional services associated with the Registered Offering, resulting in increased operating expenses. This was offset by the increase in rental income related to the VH Willows acquisition during the second quarter of 2021 and increase in interest income due to the three notes receivable issued since the third quarter of 2020.

If the Company is not successful in raising sufficient capital, or if it does not have access to sufficient credit from outside parties or related parties, it may have to delay or reduce expenses, or curtail operations, since its current cash and capital resources are not sufficient to meet its needs for the 12 months following the date of this filing. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Assets
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total assets of $17,894,416 and $2,154,789, respectively. Assets consist primarily of the cash accounts held by the Company, inclusive of $1,762,046 and $224,261 of restricted cash on September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and investment property of $3,029,307 and $0 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company holds promissory notes with affiliated entities, inclusive of interest receivable, totaling $6,671,906 and $871,232 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Liabilities
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total liabilities of $19,353,359 and $2,297,381, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a net increase in Private Placement Notes sales of $15,377,851 and net increase in Public Demand Notes of $1,580,344.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management believes the estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and to the understanding of our reported financial results include those made in connection with impairment of our tangible and intangible assets including notes receivable, investment properties and finite-lived intangible assets and our evaluation of whether the Company can continue as a going concern. Management evaluates our policies and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Impairment
Management routinely reviews notes receivable for impairment and provides an allowance for credit losses if all or a portion of a note is determined to be uncollectible. Notes are charged off to the allowance for credit losses when the contractual amount is no longer realizable.
Management evaluates investment properties for impairment when conditions exist which may indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis without interest) from that investment property is less than the carrying values under its historical net cost basis. When estimating expected future cash flows, management considers factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other pertinent factors. Upon determination that there is a permanent impairment, the carrying values of the applicable investment properties are reduced to their relative fair values. For investment properties to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the fair values, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the investment property measured at the time there is a commitment to sell the property and/or it is actively being marketed for sale. A property to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Subsequent to the date that a property is held for disposition, depreciation expense is not recorded
Management reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Indicators include but are not limited to a significant decrease in the market value of an intangible asset group or if there are material differences between operating results and the Company’s forecasted expectations. If indicators arise, management evaluates the asset group’s recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition to the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, management estimates the fair value of the asset group using appropriate fair value techniques. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and principal financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
23 |
The Company does not have an effective control environment because we do not yet have formalized internal control policies and procedures as it relates to financial reporting. In addition, the Company does not yet have sufficient resources to provide appropriate segregation of duties related to the preparation and review of information used in financial reporting, as well as review controls over the financial statement reporting process.
Since becoming a public reporting company on November 24, 2020, we have initiated and are continuing to recruit and hire additional accounting and financial personnel, establish policies and procedures for timely and accurate financial reporting, upgrade our internal accounting systems, and make various other efforts to remediate these weaknesses in our internal control. Management understands and appreciates the need to rapidly establish an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in ordinary routine litigation typical for companies engaged in our line of business. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we are not involved in any pending legal proceedings that we believe would be likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
As previously disclosed, since our formation on July 30, 2018, we have only issued 1,000 membership interests to iCap Vault, LLC (“iCap Vault”), our sole member, in exchange for services rendered by iCap Vault to us with a value of $0.00 per unit. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the transaction did not involve a public offering. On September 30, 2020, iCap Vault made an additional capital contribution of $1,535,000 into iCap Vault 1 (consisting of $1,150,000 in cash and an assumption by iCap Enterprises, the sole member of iCap Vault, of iCap Vault 1’s indebtedness to an affiliate (iCap Investments, LLC) of $385,000). No additional membership interests were issued by us to iCap Vault in connection with this additional capital contribution.
