NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Description of Business

 

Berkshire Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its business focus in November 2012 to the acquisition, rehabilitation and sale or lease of distressed residential real estate in the United States. 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Berkshires Homes, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited 2013 annual financial statements and notes thereto filed on Form 10-K with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal reoccurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods present have been reflected herein. The results of operation for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure required in the Company’s fiscal 2013 financial statements have been omitted.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,483,788 as of May 31, 2014 and further losses are anticipated raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management anticipates financing operating costs over the next twelve months with loans and/or private placement of common stock. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Company Overview

 

We are focused on the acquisition and rehabilitation of distressed residential properties in the United States. Our corporate offices are located at 2375 East Camelback Road, Suite 600, Phoenix, AZ 85016 and our phone number is (602) 387-5393.

 

We believe that the current housing market environment presents an unprecedented opportunity for those who have the expertise, operating platform, technology systems and capital in place to execute an acquisition and operating strategy in a cost-effective manner. We intend to build a geographically diversified portfolio of residential homes in target markets that we believe exhibit favorable demographics and long-term economic trends, attractive acquisition prices, rental yields and appreciation potential. We intend to implement a buy and renovate strategy to increase value, livability, and attractiveness, and then sell the properties or keep them for value as rental properties.

 

In furthering our business plan, we have been actively searching for capital to purchase distressed properties and build our inventory. In 2013 and through April 2014, we sold an aggregate of $7,150,000 of our 5% unsecured promissory notes (the “5% Notes”) for gross proceeds to us of $7,150,000. The 5% Notes accrued interest at the rate of 5% per annum are due and payable twenty four months from their respective dates of issuance, subject to acceleration in the event of default and the 5% Notes may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.

 

With the money we have raised through debt financing to date we have acquired 11 properties for a purchase price of $4,762,290. Of theses 11 properties we have sold 3 for $1,210,000. The properties include single and multi-family residences in 3 States. We plan to recycle all the capital from these properties and purchase more similar type assets to rehabilitate and sell. Additionally, we plan to expand our portfolio and have been looking at other major urban markets to enter into. Our short and long-term goals are to seek out opportunistic real estate investments that meet our underwriting criteria including twenty percent annualized returns. There is no assurance, however, that we will find the assets that fit our parameters or that we will raise the needed capital to implement our business plan.

 

We will continue our efforts to secure additional financing, which is necessary to implement our business strategy of acquiring a substantial portfolio investment properties. We plan to continue our efforts to secure financing.

 



Results of Operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

We generated sales of $1,210,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2014, our first quarter to post revenues.. Our cost of sales totaled $1,108,610. Our costs of sales includes: purchase price, rehabilitation, escrow, closing costs, and commissions. We achieved a gross profit of $101,390 for the three months ended May 31, 2014 which represented a 9.2% return.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased by $49,937 to $95,737 for the three months ended May 31, 2014 from $45,800 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. Our operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2014 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $36,713, management fees and expenses of $35,621, general and administrative expenses of $17,338 and insurance expenses of $6,065. In comparison, our operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2013 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $1,894, management fees and expenses of $37,500, and general and administrative expenses of $6,406.

 

Operating expenses increased by $27,057 to $145,732 for the six months ended May 31, 2014 from $116,675 for the six months ended May 31, 2013. Our operating expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2014 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $44,965, management fees and expenses of $54,371, general and administrative expenses of $26,331, consulting fees of $12,000 and insurance expenses of $6,065.. In comparison, our operating expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2013 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $43,376, management fees and expenses of $50,000, general and administrative expenses of $22,299 and consulting fees of $1,000.

 

We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to administrative and operating costs associated with the acquisition, renovation and sale of residential properties and our continued reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest Expenses

 

Interest expenses increased by $40,890 to $60,240 for the three months ended May 31, 2014 from $169,350 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. Interest expenses increased by $59,421 to $95,821 for the six months ended May 31, 2014 from $36,400 for the six months ended May 31, 2013. The increase is attributable to the increase in long-term promissory notes.

 

On June 13, 2013, we issued a promissory note for proceeds of $2,150,000 at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The promissory note is unsecured and is due on June 13, 2015. On June 27, 2013, we issued a promissory note for proceeds of $500,000 at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The promissory note is unsecured and is due on June 27, 2015. On April 21, 2014, we issued a promissory note for proceeds of $4,500,000 at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The promissory note is unsecured and is due on April 21, 2016.

 

Net Loss

 

We incurred a net loss of $54,587 for the three months ended May 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $65,150 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. We incurred a net loss of $138,165 for the six months ended May 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $153,075 for the six months ended May 31, 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 31, 2014, we had total current assets of $6,551,988, consisting of cash and our real property inventory. We had current liabilities of $2,615,903 as of May 31, 2014. Accordingly, we had a working capital of $3,936,085 as of May 31, 2014.

 

Operating activities used $2,359,532 in cash for the six months ended May 31, 2014, as compared with $90,458 used for the six months ended May 31, 2013. Our negative operating cash flow for May 31, 2014 was mainly a result of the increase in our real property inventory and our net loss for the period.

 

Financing activities for six months ended May 31, 2014 generated $4,537,353 in cash, as compared with cash flows provided by financing activities of $100,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2013. Our positive cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2014 was the result of our ability to raise debt financing.

 

As of May 31, 2014, we had $2,323,869 in cash. Until we are able to sustain our ongoing operations through revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We have incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,483,788 as of May 31, 2014 and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management anticipates financing operating costs over the next twelve months with loans and/or private placement of common stock. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any accounting policies currently fit this definition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage. In the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage

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

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of May 31, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of May 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.

 

Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of May 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending May 31, 2014. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.

 

We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the period ended May 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
