Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 22, 2021. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2021.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company's significant estimates are the valuation of real estate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loans. The fund is required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan is paid off in full and the loan agreement terminated. The Company also has an escrow account with M&T Bank to deposit a portion of cash proceeds from lot sales. The fund in the escrow account is specifically used for the payment of the loan from M&T Bank. The fund is required to remain in the escrow account for the loan payment until the loan agreement terminates. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total balance of these two accounts was $4,757,477 and $5,729,067, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable include all receivables from buyers, contractors and all other parties. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of the outstanding receivables, historical collection information and economic conditions. No allowance was necessary at either June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

 

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and betterments that extend the useful life or functionality are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives, which are 3 years.

 

Real Estate Assets

 

Land Development Assets

 

Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.

 

In addition to our annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360, the Company applies a fair-value based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.

 

The Company did not record impairment on any of its projects during the six months ended on June 30, 2021, nor for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties

 

The Company accounts for its investments in single-family residential properties as asset acquisitions and records these acquisitions at their purchase price. The purchase price is allocated between land, building, improvements and existing leases based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs.

 

Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 to 27.5 years, respectively, using the straight-line method.

 

The Company assesses its investments in single-family residential properties for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its fair value. Should impairment exist, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses during the six months ended on June 30, 2021.

 

Revenue Recognition

  

Land Development Revenue Recognition

 

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of our Ballenger project, which were essentially all of the revenue of the Company in 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

 

a.

Identify the contract with a customer.

  

In the event of a sale the Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided. 

 

b.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

  

Performance obligations of the Company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.

 

c.

Determine the transaction price.

  

The transaction price is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.

 

d.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

 

Each lot or a group of lots is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.

 

e.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

In the event of a sale the builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.

 

Rental Revenue Recognition

 

The Company leases real estate properties to its tenants under leases that are predominately classified as operating leases, in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Real estate rental revenue is comprised of minimum base rent and revenue from the collection of lease termination fees.

 

Rent from tenants is recorded in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant controls the space and continues through the term of the related lease. Generally, the Company’s leases provide the tenant with one or more multi-year renewal options, including mostly the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, subject to rent increases

Table of Contents

 

The Company defers rental revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. These amounts are presented within deferred revenues and other payables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

Rental revenue is subject to an evaluation for collectability on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends of the property, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates that it is not probable that we will recover substantially all of the receivable, rental revenue is limited to the lesser of the rental revenue that would be recognized on a straight-line basis (as applicable) or the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Differences between rental revenue recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited or charged to straight-line rent receivable or straight-line rent liability, as applicable. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize any deferred revenue and collected all rents due.

 

Sale of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments.

 

We have established a front foot benefit (“FFB”) assessment on all of the NVR lots. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed in Frederick County which requires homeowners to reimburse the developer for the costs of installing public water and sewer to the lots. These assessments become effective as homes are settled, at which time we can sell the collection rights to investors who will pay an upfront lump sum, enabling us to more quickly realize the revenue. The selling prices range from $3,000 to $4,500 per home depending the type of the home. Our total revenue from the front foot benefit assessment is approximately $1 million. To recognize revenue of FFB assessment, both our and NVR’s performance obligation have to be satisfied. Our performance obligation is completed once we complete the construction of water and sewer facility and close the lot sales with NVR, which inspects these water and sewer facility prior to close lot sales to ensure all specifications are met. NVR’s performance obligation is to sell homes they build to homeowners. Our FFB revenue is recognized on quarterly basis after NVR closes sales of homes to homeowners. The agreement with these FFB investors is not subject to amendment by regulatory agencies and thus our revenue from FFB assessment is not either. During the three months ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue $141,575 and $74,879 from FFB assessment, respectively. During the six months ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue $248,646 and $115,202 from FFB assessment, respectively.

 

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

 

Based on our contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We disclose receivables from contracts with customers separately on the balance sheets.

 

Cost of Sales

 

All cost of sales is from our land development business. Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.

 

If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to use a forward-looking, expected loss model to estimate credit losses. It also requires entities to consider additional disclosures related to credit quality of trade and other receivables, including information related to management’s estimate of credit allowances. ASU 2016-13 was further amended in November 2018 by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 236, Financial Instrument-Credit Losses. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers excluding smaller reporting companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On October 16, 2019, FASB voted to delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” For all other entities, the amendments are now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of these amendments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations and currently expect no material impact of the adoption of the amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

 

In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for six months ended June 30, 2021, or to our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021.

 

2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

The group maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. These balances are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, these balances may exceed the federal insurance limits. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, uninsured cash and restricted cash balances were $5,609,289 and $6,937,716, respectively.

 

3. BUILDER DEPOSITS

 

In November 2015, SeD Maryland Development, LLC (“SeD Maryland”) entered into lot purchase agreements with NVR, Inc. (“NVR”) relating to the sale of single-family home and townhome lots to NVR in the Ballenger Run Project. The purchase agreements were amended three times thereafter. Based on the agreements, NVR is entitled to purchase 479 lots for a price of approximately $64 million, which escalates 3% annually after June 1, 2018.

 

As part of the agreements, NVR was required to give a deposit in the amount of $5,600,000. Upon the sale of lots to NVR, 9.9% of the purchase price is taken as payback of the deposit. A violation of the agreements by NVR would cause NVR to forfeit the deposit. On January 3, 2019 and April 28, 2020, NVR gave SeD Maryland two more deposits in the amounts of $100,000 and $220,000, respectively, based on the 3rd Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement. On June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were $541,349 and $1,262,336 held on deposit, respectively.

Repayment of the Loan Agreement is secured by $2,600,000 collateral fund and a Deed of Trust issued to the Lender on the property owned by SeD Maryland. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the revolving loan was $0.

The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first sixteen months of principal and interest deferred or until we apply for the loan forgiveness. The PPP Term Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

The PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to M&T Bank for forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to at least 60% of payroll costs and other eligible payments incurred by the Company, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At this time, we are not in a position to quantify the portion of the PPP Term Note that will be forgiven. As of June 30, 2021, we owe $68,502 to M&T Bank.

Revenue

 

Revenue was $4,584,542 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $2,047,405 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue was $8,478,673 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $5,001,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase in revenue is caused by an increase in property sales from the Ballenger project in the first half of 2021. In this project, builders are required to purchase a minimum number of lots based on their applicable sale agreements. We collect revenue only from the sale of lots to builders. We are not involved in the construction of homes at the present time.

 

Income from the sale of Front Foot Benefits (“FFBs”), assessed on Ballenger project lots, increased from $74,879 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $141,575 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Income from the sale of FFBs increased from $115,202 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $248,646 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is a mixed result of the increased sale of properties to homebuyers in 2021 and sale of FFBs of a higher value.

 

In second quarter of 2021, the Company started renting homes to tenants. Revenue from rental business was $21,947 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The company expects that the revenue from this business will continue to increase as we acquire more rental houses and successfully rent them.

Cost of Sales

 

All property sales revenue in the three months ended on June 30, 2020 came from Ballenger and SeD Texas projects. The property sales revenue in the three months ended on June 30, 2020 came from Ballenger project. The gross margin ratio for Ballenger project in first six months of 2021 and 2020 were approximately 28% and 15%, respectively. The different types of lots usually have different gross margins, the main reason which led to the increase in 2021. The gross margin ratio for SeD Texas project in first six months of 2021 and 2020 were approximately 16% and 0%, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased from $230,760 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $355,944 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. General and administrative expenses increased from $507,267 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $812,796 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in those expenses is caused mainly by the increase in the professional fees in 2021.

 

Net Income

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net income of $1,552,343 compared to net loss of $42,942 in the three months ended June 30, 2020. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net income of $1,164,788 compared to net income of $142,238 in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income was caused by the increased sales in our Ballenger Project in 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our real estate assets under development have decreased to $16,053,300 as of June 30, 2021 from $20,616,237 as of December 31, 2020. This decrease reflects increase in sales of lots and a higher increase in cost of sales than in capitalized costs related to the construction in progress. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we purchased 30 homes, which will be used in Company’s rental business. Our rental properties assets were $6,810,685 as of June 30, 2021.

 

Our liabilities increased from $2,691,098 at December 31, 2020 to $3,883,888 at June 30, 2021. Our total assets have increased to $30,425,863 as of June 30, 2021 from $29,219,785 as of December 31, 2020.

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of $1,981,249 and restricted cash of $4,757,477 compared to $2,237,180 and $5,729,067 as of December 31, 2020.

 

Our Ballenger Run project has a revolver loan from M&T Bank in the principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the sum of $8,000,000, with a cumulative loan advance amount of $18,500,000. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the revolver loan balance was $0, respectively.

 

On June 18, 2020, Alset EHome Inc. (formerly known as SeD Home & REITs Inc. and Alset iHome Inc.) entered into a Loan Agreement with M&T Bank. Pursuant to this Loan Agreement, M&T Bank provided a non-revolving loan to Alset EHome Inc. in an aggregate amount of up to $2,990,000. As of June 30, 2020, the M&T loan balance was $685,896. The loan was paid off in May 2021.

 

On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into a term note with M&T Bank with a principal amount of $68,502 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Term Note”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first ten months of principal and interest deferred. On November 26, 2020, $64,502 of this loan was forgiven by the United States Small Business Administration and $64,502 was recorded as other income. The remaining balance of $4,000 was paid back in December 2020.

On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into a term note with M&T Bank with a principal amount of $68,502 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Term Note”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%, with the first sixteen months of principal and interest deferred or until we apply for the loan forgiveness. The PPP Term Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

The PPP Term Note is unsecured and guaranteed by the United States Small Business Administration. The Company may apply to M&T Bank for forgiveness of the PPP Term Note, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to at least 60% of payroll costs and other eligible payments incurred by the Company, calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At this time, we are not in a position to quantify the portion of the PPP Term Note that will be forgiven.

 

On March 15 and May 11, 2021 Alset EHome, Inc. signed all together thirty separate Purchase Agreements to acquire 30 homes in Montgomery County, Texas. By June 30, 2021, all of the 30 homes were closed with the purchase cost of $6,827,033. The Company borrowed $2,125,000 from SeD Intelligent Home Inc. to fund part of this acquisition. All of these purchased homes are properties of our rental business.

 

Our subsidiaries are reviewing plans for potential additional fundraising to fund single family rental operations and the acquisition of additional real estate projects.

 

The future development timeline of Black Oak will be based on multiple conditions, including the amount of funds which may be raised from capital markets, the loans we may secure from third party financial institutions, and government reimbursements which may be received. The development will be step by step and expenses will be contingent on the amount of funding we will receive.

Seasonality

 

The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of year. This may impact the expenses of Alset EHome Inc. from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location.

 

Impact of Recent Public Health Events

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic, or other adverse public health developments, could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations.

 

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our operations. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic decline that occurred in the United States since March of 2020 may impact our business in the future will depend on developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic’s far-reaching impact on the global economy could negatively affect various aspects of our business, including demand for real estate. From March 2020 through June 2021, we continued to sell lots at our Ballenger Run project (in Maryland) for the construction of homes to NVR. To date, sales of such homes by NVR are up in 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020. Such homes are often a first home that generally did not require buyers to sell an existing home. We believe low interest rates have encouraged home sales. Many buyers opted to see home models at the project virtually. This technology allowed them to ask questions of sales staff and see the homes. Home closings were able to occur electronically.

 

We have received strong indications that buyers and renters across the country are expressing interest in moving from more densely populated urban areas to the suburbs. We believe that our Ballenger Run project is well suited and positioned to accommodate those buyers. Our latest phase for sale at Ballenger Run, involving single-family homes, has seen a high number of interested potential buyers signing up for additional information and updates on home availability.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could impact the ability of our staff and contractors to continue to work, and our ability to conduct our operations in a prompt and efficient manner. We have experienced a slowdown in the planned construction of a clubhouse at the Ballenger Run project which was completed behind schedule. We believe this delay was caused in part by policies requiring lower numbers of contractors working in indoor spaces.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact the timeliness of local government in granting required approvals. Accordingly, COVID-19 may cause the completion of important stages in our real estate projects to be delayed.

 

At our Black Oak project in Texas, we have strategically redesigned the lots over the past year for a smaller “starter home” products that we believe will be more resilient in fluctuating markets. Should we initiate sales at Black Oak, we believe the same implications described above regarding our Ballenger Run project may apply to our Black Oak project (including the general trend of customers’ interest shifting from urban to suburban areas). Unlike our Ballenger Run project, our Black Oak project may include our involvement in single family rental home development.

 

Impact on Staff

 

Most of our staff works out of our Bethesda, Maryland office. Our staff has shifted to mostly working from home since March 2020, but this has had minimal impact on our operations to date. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the frequency with which our management would otherwise travel to the Black Oaks project; however, we have a contractor in Texas providing supervision of the project. Management continues to regularly supervise the Ballenger Run project. Limitations on the mobility of our management and staff may slow down our ability to enter into new transactions and expand existing projects.

 

We have not reduced our staff in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, we did not have to expend significant resources related to employee health and safety matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a small staff, however, and the inability of any significant number of our staff to work due to illness or the illness of a family member could adversely impact our operations.
