Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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 iCap Vault Management, LLC (the “Manager”), deems necessary or advisable. The Company’s amended and restated operating agreement is dated September 18, 2020 (the “Operating Agreement”) and provides for one class of membership. The Company had units issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2022, all of which are held by one 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 1 provide guarantees to secured noteholders of the Company. Holding provides a 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 all investment properties and affiliated notes receivable, 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 based in real estate. Management intends for the Company to generate additional revenue from price appreciation of real properties upon their disposition.
The Company’s investments and its operations in the near term will be funded primarily by $1 billion of investor demand notes. The first offering is a private placement to accredited investors of up to $500 million under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to Rule 506(c) and Regulation S (“Private Placement Notes”). The second is a registered a public offering of up to $500 million of Variable Denomination Floating Rate Demand Notes (“Public Demand Notes”), under an effective registration statement (File No. 333-236458). Collectively these are referred to as the (“Demand Notes”) hereto, unless otherwise distinguished.
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 Public 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, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement. The SEC declared Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 effective on May 6, 2022. No additional securities were registered pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 2.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Quarterly Reporting:
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, 2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2022. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Going Concern:
The Company has issued Public Demand Notes and Private Placement Notes through September 30, 2022 and does not have sufficient cash or sources of revenue to cover its operating 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 for one year following the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 for one year following the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. 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 (1) payments of expenses by its related entities, which are included in related party payables on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, (2) equity contributions, (3) issuance of Public Demand Notes and Private Placement Notes and (4) leveraging existing investment properties.
The Company’s operations may be affected by the pandemic that has continued since 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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Accounting for Acquisitions
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price of properties considered to be an asset acquisition to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company identifies identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on these estimates, The Company records the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.
The Company estimates the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data. The remaining economic life of leased assets is estimated by relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the leased assets and industry standards. Different estimates of remaining economic life will affect the depreciation expense that is recorded.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining noncancellable term of the lease (including the below market fixed renewal periods that are considered probable, if applicable). Above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining noncancellable terms of the respective leases. Below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining noncancellable terms of the respective leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal option periods that are considered probable.
Other intangible assets also include in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate bargain renewal periods. Factors considered by the Company in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
Impairments
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.
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.
Reclassification
Certain prior period balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The Company reflected non-cash issuances and corresponding redemptions of Private Placement Notes of $6,648,325 used in financing activities, which reduced proceeds and repayments of Private Placement Notes.
Note 3. Related-Party Transactions

Note 7. Demand Notes
Private Placement Notes
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, 2023 and are subordinated to the Company’s 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 for as long as the Private Placement Notes remain outstanding.
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 plans to establish additional accounts with lending sources pursuant to which funds will be advanced as the Company secures additional real estate assets. Private Placement Notes will be subordinate to any security interest in favor of lenders of credit facilities.
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 the 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.
The Company is restricted from making distributions to its members when the value of the real estate held at the Company’s subsidiaries is less than 70% of the value of the outstanding Private Placement Notes. Tax distributions and other distributions that may be legally required are exempted from this condition.
The outstanding Private Placement Notes, inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest, totaled $29,623,177 and $20,261,724 on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Approximately 74% and 33%, respectively, of these Private Placement Notes are held by foreign investors.
The Company issued additional Private Placement Notes of $11,061,471 and redeemed $17,209,951 after the consolidated balance sheet date through November 18, 2022. An aggregate of $349,198,885 of Private Placement Notes are available to be issued as of November 18, 2022.

Public Demand Notes
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 6, 2022. The Public Demand Notes accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Average Savings Account Rate as published by the 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 1 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, inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest, totaled $4,958,542 and $7,657,018 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Approximately 92% and 94%, respectively, of the Public Demand Notes are held by foreign investors.
The Company issued additional Public Demand Notes of $6,245,737 and redeemed $2,692,290 after the consolidated balance sheet date through November 18, 2022. An aggregate of $457,998,820 of Public Demand Notes are available to be issued as of November 18, 2022.
The Company recorded interest expense on these Demand Notes of $236,694 and $122,940 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $578,633 and $237,161 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

iCap Vault 1, LLC, Vault Holding, LLC (“Holding”) and Vault Holding 1, LLC (“Holding 1”) were formed as Delaware limited liability companies on July 30, 2018, September 27, 2018 and April 28, 2020, respectively. Each of Holding and Holding 1 was formed with the intention of owning one or more standalone subsidiaries which itself will hold real property investments whether directly or through special purpose entities. Additionally, each of Holding and Holding 1 provides guaranties to secured demand noteholders of the Company. Holding provides such a guaranty to holders of the private placement notes, while Holding 1 provides a guaranty to holders of the public notes the Company offers through a registered offering. Holding 1 has not commenced operations and has no assets or liabilities. iCap Vault Management, LLC (“Manager”) is the manager of the Company.
We intend to generate revenues on our investments from net rental income on our properties and from price appreciation of properties upon their disposition. For our investment in financial instruments based in real estate, we intend to generate revenues from the interest income received on such financial instruments. Until we generate revenue sufficient to use for investments, to cover operations and to service debt, we will rely on the proceeds from a $500 million private placement of demand notes (“Private Placement Notes” described below) and a $500 million registered public offering of demand notes (“Public Demand Notes” described below). Collectively these are referred to as the Demand Notes hereto, unless otherwise distinguished.
Our business plan contemplates continually acquiring income-producing real estate properties and financial instruments related to real properties in selected metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S. (each, a “Portfolio Investment”) that generate a rate of return that is greater than the costs necessary to purchase, finance and service the investment. Although our Portfolio Investments will be anchored to U.S. real estate, we are not a real estate investment trust and do not intend to be treated as such.
At September 30, 2022, the Company has the following Portfolio Investments:

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 are 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, 2022 and 2021, we generated interest income from affiliated notes receivable of $254,799 and $154,993, respectively, rental income of $232,137 and $45,830, respectively and reported a net loss of $303,396 and $321,156, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated interest income from affiliated notes receivable of $762,230 and $300,077, respectively, rental income of $472,335 and $79,700, respectively, and reported a net loss of $953,797 and $948,617, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had cash used in operating activities of $869,834 and $891,376, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had member’s deficit of $3,080,494.
The capital to be raised from both our private placement (defined below) and registered offering (defined below) has been budgeted to cover the costs associated with continuing 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 COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States, resulting in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity. The economic effects, including disruptions to the global supply chain, of the COVID-19 outbreak have had a destabilizing effect on financial markets, key market indices, and overall economic activity. The spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences.
Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be fully controlled and abated. 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. 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 potential for complete or partial school closures. This situation could cause of reduction in productivity or the inability to complete critical tasks for the Company.
We lack the comparative historical financial information about the Company since our operations did not commence until after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, although management believes that COVID-19, along with other macro-economic factors, were contributing factors to our business and results of operations to date, management is unable to measure the actual impact of COVID-19 on our business as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Plan of Operations

In addition, we will need funding for our continued investment in revenue generating real estate properties. We will rely primarily on funds raised from both the registered offering and from our private placement to fund these uses for the next twelve months. To a lesser extent, we will rely on income from our existing investment properties and financial instruments.
As of September 30, 2022, we have aggregate cash balances of $4,606,090, including restricted cash of $2,962,318 available for operations and investment from both the public and private offerings. Our strategy contemplates the ability to invest in financial instruments collateralized by or involved in real estate operations; however, we intend to focus primarily on investing in revenue generating properties. We are currently in competitive bidding scenarios to obtain additional investment properties and plan to continue acquiring revenue generating properties during 2022.
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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since our inception, we have generated minimal revenues and expect to rely on capital raised in the issuances of the Demand Notes to cover the costs associated with establishing and expanding Company operations, marketing expense, and acquisition related costs. We intend to use the majority of the proceeds from the Demand Notes 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.
Currently, our primary source of liquidity is $1.0 billion from our registered and private offerings discussed herein (collectively the “offerings”). As of November 18, 2022, we have approximately $807 million available for offerings of new subscriptions that will fund operations and new portfolio investments in income producing real estate properties and financial instruments. In addition, the Company may leverage its portfolio investments to provide additional liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company borrowed $5,985,000 against its investment properties pursuant to notes payable that are due February 2023.
The following table sets forth a summary of our net cash flows for the nine months ended September 30:
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Net cash flows from total operating activities | $ | (869,834 | ) | $ | (891,376 | ) | ||
Net cash flows from total investing activities | $ | (15,530,359 | ) | $ | (8,751,447 | ) | ||
Net cash flows from total financing activities | $ | 12,026,517 | $ | 16,721,035 |
The Company had cash used in operating activities of $869,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $891,376 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The overall decrease in the use of cash is primarily attributable to the variances for the period attributable to the change in accrued interest earned on affiliated notes receivable of $462,153 offset by the change in accrued interest on Private Placement Notes and Public Demand Notes of $341,473, depreciation of $134,178 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $28,159.
The Company had used cash in investing activities of $15,530,359 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $8,751,447 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net change of $6,778,912 was primarily attributable to the increase in investment acquisitions of $6,342,219, increase in issuances and a repayment of an affiliated notes receivable of $233,391, and a decrease in proceeds from the repayment of related party receivables of $169,150.
The Company had cash provided by financing activities of $12,026,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the cash provided for in financing activities of $16,721,035 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net change of $4,694,518 was attributable the overall net decrease in proceeds over issuances from the prior period of Private Placement Notes and Public Demand Notes resulting in a net change $10,636,691, offset with net loan proceeds of $5,942,173 on collateralized investment properties obtained in January 2022.
Going Concern
As a result of recurring losses, limited cash and insufficient revenue to cover our operating costs and debt service, management believes there is a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, 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.

Outstanding Private Placement Notes and Public Demand Notes were $34,581,719 and $27,918,742 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of November 18, 2022 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.
Accounting for Acquisitions
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price of properties considered to be an asset acquisition to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company identifies identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on these estimates, The Company records the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.
The Company estimates the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data. The remaining economic life of leased assets is estimated by relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the leased assets and industry standards. Different estimates of remaining economic life will affect the depreciation expense that is recorded.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining noncancellable term of the lease (including the below market fixed renewal periods that are considered probable, if applicable). Above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining noncancellable terms of the respective leases. Below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining noncancellable terms of the respective leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal option periods that are considered probable.
Other intangible assets also include in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate bargain renewal periods. Factors considered by the Company in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
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.

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, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
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, including the accounting related to purchase-price allocations. 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.
