SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization NRI Real Estate Investment and Technology, Inc., a Maryland corporation and formerly known as NRI Real Token, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 2, 2021 for the initial purpose of owning, developing and managing THesis Miami, located at 1350 S. Dixie Highway, Coral Gables, Florida 33146. THesis Miami includes a hotel, apartments, retail (restaurants and shopping) units and a parking garage which we refer to herein as the Property or the real estate asset. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, NRI Real Token, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Prior to November 19, 2021, the Property was owned and operated by 1350 S Dixie Holdings LLC (the “Property Owner”) which was acquired by the Operating Partnership on November 19, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). The Property Owner was formed on February 22, 2016. The Property Owner, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 1350 S Dixie LLC (the “Prior Operating Company”), which was also formed February 22, 2016, entered into a real estate transaction through which it acquired land and a hotel during 2016 with the intent to develop the Property. On March 21, 2016, the Prior Operating Company purchased the land, building, furniture and equipment for $44,000,000 of which $21,500,000 was paid by obtaining a loan. The prior hotel operated until June 2, 2017 at which time the Property Owner demolished the existing building and commenced construction of the Property. On July 9, 2021, the Company commenced an offering (the “Offering”) of up to $85,000,000 limited partnership units (the “OP Units”) in a private placement to qualified purchasers who meet the definition of “accredited investors,” as provided in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Upon election of the limited partner, subject to certain limitations, each OP Unit is convertible into one share of common stock of the Company, which, subject to the Company successfully establishing the required infrastructure, may be issued in the form of digital securities (distributed ledger shares) which are designated as NRI Real Estate Investment and Technology Security Tokens (the “Security Tokens”), or, at the election of the Company, cash in an equivalent value. Each Security Token, if issued, will represent one share of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Offering, which concluded on December 31, 2021, the Operating Partnership issued 7,742,309 OP Units resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $79.4 million. The net proceeds from the Offering, approximately $73 million, were used to redeem approximately $73 million of interests of 54 Madison Capital, LP (the “Investor Member”) and to pay corresponding closing costs. The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement”) of the Operating Partnership, as of September 30, 2022, with NRI Real Token Thesis LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NRI Thesis”) and the limited partners of NRI Real Token LP, for the purpose of amending the Limited Partnership Agreement of NRI Real Token LP, dated November 19, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Limited Partnership Agreement on April 11, 2022 which designated a series of preferred units in the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Original Partnership Agreement”), to (i) assign all the rights and obligations of NRI Thesis, as a general partner of the Operating Partnership, to the Company and convert the general partnership interest held by NRI Thesis into a limited partnership interest, and (ii) redesignate the “Special GP Interest” (as such term is defined in the Original Partnership Agreement) as the “Special OP Units” as set forth in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement. The effect of this amendment and restatement of the Original Partnership Agreement is to make the Company the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership with the full, complete and exclusive discretion of manage and control the business of the Operating Partnership. The Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement otherwise retains all material terms of the Original Partnership Agreement. In accordance with ASC 810-10-15- Control Under consolidation guidance, we have determined that our Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity because the holders of limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Furthermore, we are the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership because we have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the Operating Partnership and the exclusive power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same, as the Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Based on foregoing analysis, the Company considered ASC 810-10-15, and determined that the Company’s general partnership interest in NRI Real Token LP should be accounted for as a VIE, and as a result, the financials of NRI Real Token LP have been consolidated in accordance with ASC 810-10-15 and within the financials of the Company presented herein. Basis of preparation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 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 or any future period. Accordingly, readers of these consolidated interim financial statements should refer to the Company’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s recent filing on Form 10 (and amendments thereto), as certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents Restricted cash consists of cash held in accounts specifically for future payments of interest and real estate taxes, reserves for replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment and tenant security deposits for the residential apartment leases. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statements of cash flows at September 30, 2022 and 2021: 9/30/2022 9/30/2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,067,700 $ 3,915,622 Restricted cash 2,619,677 1,196,441 Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents $ 4,687,377 $ 5,112,063 Real estate asset, net Costs associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of the Property were capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 970-360-25, Real Estate Project Costs. Property and equipment, also included as part of the real estate asset, are recorded at cost, with depreciation being recognized over the assets’ estimated useful life on the straight-line basis as follows: Years Building and improvements 39 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 7 Expenditures for major improvements and betterments are capitalized and minor repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Income taxes The Property Owner is organized as a limited liability company and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the members of the Property Owner are taxed on their proportional share of the Property Owner’s taxable income (loss). Therefore, no provision for federal and state corporate income taxes has been included in these consolidated financial statements. The Property Owner recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. In the unlikely event an uncertain tax position existed in which the Property Owner could incur income taxes, the Property Owner would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Property Owner determined it is probable position would not be sustained upon examination. As of September 30, 2022, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authority. It is the Company’s policy to accrue any interest and penalties associated with its tax obligations when paid. There were no income tax related interest or penalties for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company is organized as a C Corp and the Operating Partnership is organized as a limited partnership. Jointly the Company and Operating Partnership form a REIT structure. The Company intends to elect REIT status for the 2022 tax year. Revenue recognition Upon completion of construction in June 2020, the Company (through the Property Owner) began generating revenues from the real estate asset. The primary sources of revenue include room and food and beverage revenue from the Company’s hotel and restaurants and rental income from the Property Owner’s residential apartments and retail space. Rooms revenue represents revenue from the occupancy of our hotel rooms, which is driven by the occupancy and average daily rate charged. Rooms revenue includes revenue from guest no-shows, daily use, and early/late departure fees. The contracts for room stays with customers are generally short in duration and revenues are recognized as services are provided over the course of the hotel stay at the daily transaction price agreed under the contract. Food and beverage revenue consists of revenue from the restaurants and lounges, in room dining and mini bars revenue, and banquet/catering revenue from group and social functions. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases the goods and services. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the physical possession has transferred to the customer. Residential rental and other property income is recognized over the term of the tenant leases, which is generally for 12 months, when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the lease asset. Lease incentives to secure new tenants are recognized as they are incurred given the short-term nature of the related lease arrangements. Reimbursements from tenants for utilities and shared expenses are recognized as revenue and are included in rental and other property income in the period the expenses are incurred, with the corresponding expenses included in residential property operating expenses. Additionally, nonrefundable lease application and administrative fees are recognized as they are earned. Parking revenue consists of transient self-parking, month-to-month rentals and valet parking. For transient self-parking and valet parking, revenue is recognized at a point in time at the respective transaction price once services are completed. For month-to-month rentals, revenue is recognized over time based on the terms of the rental agreement. Other revenue primarily includes rental income from certain retail leases which is recognized over the term of the respective lease agreement. Debt issuance costs Cost incurred to acquire debt are recorded as a reduction against the notes payable. Amortization of debt issuance costs is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the notes payable. Amortization expense during development of the Property was included in the real estate asset on the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the Property being placed into service in June 2020, amortization expense is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
