ALPHA INVESTMENT INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History
Alpha Investment Inc, formerly GoGo Baby, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on February 22, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.
On March 17, 2017, Omega Commercial Finance Corp. purchased all 35,550,000 outstanding restricted shares of the Companys common stock (the Control Share Sale) from Malcolm Hargrave (35,000,000 shares), DTH International Corporation (500,000 shares) and Lisa Foster (50,000 shares) for aggregate consideration of $295,000. The Control Share Sale was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered between Omega and Mr. Hargrave, acting individually and on behalf of the other selling stockholders. Upon completion of the Control Share Sale, a Change in Control of the Company took place and in connection therewith, Mr. Hargrave resigned as our sole director and officer and Omega, as the new majority stockholder of the Company, elected Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D. as President, Chairman of the Board and a director and Todd C. Buxton, Omegas Chief Executive Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and a director.
In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to focus the shift in the Companys business focus to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing our name from Gogo Baby, Inc. to Alpha Investment Inc. to better reflect our new business plan. The name change and a corresponding change in the Companys OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.
The Companys activities to date have been limited to activities organizational matters, as well as planning implementation of its proposed business. The Companys fiscal year end is December 31.
Basis of Presentation Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2017. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
Future issuances of the Companys equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Companys present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statement of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $78,878 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's
5
ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Securing additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

Overview
We intend to provide capital directly to affiliated lenders to fund loans through their correspondent platforms and funding to small businesses in the commercial real estate and other asset-backed markets. We also intend to acquire and manage performing commercial first mortgage loans, subordinate financings, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other commercial real estate-related debt investments, as well as engage in various direct participation equity ownership opportunities. We expect to offer financing platforms across a broad-spectrum of asset types at all points within an assets capital structure. Alpha Investment plans to leverage on the industry experience, platforms and resources of its principal stockholder, Omega Commercial Finance Corp, a publicly-held Wyoming corporation (Omega) and Omegas affiliates, in order to expedite and facilitate ALPCs ability to underwrite and structure complex financing transactions and enable the Company to develop and implement customized creative capital solutions for other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners.
Alphas capital resources have been limited to date, which has restricted its business activities to organizational matters, as well as planning implementation of its proposed business. Alphas ability to implement that plan will be subject to raising significant capital, primarily from the proceeds of the Direct Offering.

In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to focus the shift in the Companys business focus to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing our name from Gogo Baby, Inc. to Alpha Investment Inc. to better reflect our new business plan. The name change and a corresponding change in the Companys OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.

Going Concern
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion as of September 30, 2017. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional working capital to pay our bills. Our cash balance at September 30, 2017 was $2,761,364. During September 2017, the Company raised additional funds through the $850,000 Private Offering and the $2,500,000 Private Offering, and as such we believe that we shall require additional capital to fund our planned lending programs, primarily through the Direct Offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance at September 30, 2017 was $2,761,365. Our cash balance may not be sufficient to fund our levels of operations without additional income, equity capital or loans from our current officers and directors.
Plan of Operation
Our core objective will be to achieve advantageous yields and consistent interest income on short and medium term loans (Loans) by:
furnishing capital to our affiliated lenders to make Loans through their correspondent platforms primarily to borrowers such as commercial real estate developers and speculators, business owners, landlords and owners of core assets when traditional financing is unavailable to such borrowers for acquisitions, refinancing of commercial property loans and other asset backed transactions; and
making Loans directly to small businesses in the commercial real estate and other asset-backed markets.
Either directly or in conjunction with our affiliated lenders, we plan to consult on various financing programs with an emphasis on Loans secured by commercial real estate, including office buildings, multi-family residences, shopping centers, industrial, and hotels, as well as asset backed Loans secured by account receivables from established companies. Loans may consist of senior debt loans, mezzanine or subordinated loans, preferred equity and other equity participation financing structures, and in the case of specialty financing, for the factoring of receivables secured by a Uniform Commercial Code security interest.
We intend to follow a conservative lending profile for the Loans we fund. Our strategy is to seek low leveraged first lien senior debt mortgage loans and high debt service structured financing programs, as opposed to riskier, less secure, mezzanine or equity positions.
Many times when a company decides to pursue new opportunities, they find that the barriers of entry are often high or unattainable. Typically, this is due to a lack of capital and the proper advisory services and solutions necessary for these companies to achieve their business potential. We have determined to address that need by focusing our business efforts primarily for the purpose of underwriting or investing in Loans and/or specialty financing programs backed or secured by real estate or other types of related assets or equity interests.
Regardless of the type of Loan, our focus is will be earning rates of return that exceed the commensurate level of risk associated with each Loan and specialty financing program. We plan to use our and our affiliated lenders third-party relationships with seasoned providers to independently assess the value, volatility, and adequacy of the collateral for each Loan we fund, whether through our affiliated lenders or directly, to assure that all Loans made are appropriately collateralized. As part of our assurance procedures, a third party independent asset loan manager will assess the ease of repossessing and disposing of collateral for each loan. We also will ensure that underlying Loans will be adequately insured. We plan to use only third-party credit and risk assessment firms that utilize standard securitization underwriting protocols and criteria in the credit and risk assessment process, prior to final approval of any Loan.
12
The Company has the authority to provide our affiliated lenders with capital to or directly fund or invest in a wide variety of Loans, securities, and other real estate related investments, domestic or foreign, of all kinds and descriptions, whether publicly traded or privately placed, including but not limited to common and preferred stocks, bonds and other debt securities, direct ownership interests in real estate, interests in real estate investment funds, Loans of all kind (including the Loans herein), accounts receivable, notes, convertible securities, limited partnership interests, limited liability company interests, mutual fund shares, options, warrants, derivatives, currencies, monetary instruments and cash and cash equivalents. We will not trade in commodities or financial futures.
Business Objectives and Strategy
Our core business objective is to achieve advantageous and consistent rates of return from short and medium term Loans to borrowers when traditional financing is unavailable to such borrowers for acquisitions, refinancing of commercial property loans and other asset backed transactions. We plan to focus on various alternative commercial real estate financings with an emphasis on Loans secured by commercial real estate and also seek to invest in financing of core real estate assets that include office buildings, multi-family residences, shopping centers, and hospitality, plus ground up entitled land developments. The Loans may consist of senior debt loans, mezzanine or subordinated loans, preferred equity and other equity participation financing structures. We intend to follow a conservative lending profile for the Loans we fund, which means low loan to value and high debt service cover ratios. Our strategy is to seek Loans that are first lien, senior debt mortgage loans and specialty financing programs, as opposed to riskier, yet much more profitable, and less secure mezzanine or equity positions.
With respect to asset backed Loans, we plan to fund, either through our affiliated lenders or directly, accounts receivable based lines of credit better known as factoring. Factoring assists small to medium sized business owners in resolving their short term working capital needs. This service will be supported by a back office underwriting, due diligence, sales, marketing, servicing, training, and collections provider working either directly with us or with our affiliated lenders. We plan to utilize state of the art software that will allow us to facilitate and organize a seamless stream of completed transactions. Further, we plan to leverage our assets at a multiple of up to 6(x) times that will maximize our capital. We believe that this will position us to create capitalization models that offer us high yielding short term Loans as the result of the ability of this financing product to garner high returns and turnover of the deployed capital that is secured by receivables due from established companies such as a Wall Mart, GM and Best Buy.
Use of Loan Servicers
In carrying out our business strategy, we will likely utilize third-party firms that specialize in Loan origination and servicing (Servicers), either directly or through our affiliated lenders. We intend to perform due diligence on each Servicer which we, directly or indirectly, plan use in the origination and servicing of Loans, in order to evaluate the firms experience and expertise in originating and servicing Loans that satisfy our lending and investment criteria.
Use of Other Third-Party Service Providers
We, either directly or through our affiliated lenders, will utilize other third parties to provide various ancillary services, such as such as evaluation and feasibility services, closing and escrow services and fund administration services.
Sale of Participations; Co-Investments and Participations
In the discretion of management, we may sell participation rights in the Loans we originate to other entities.
We may from time to time co-invest and or syndicate participation interest in loans as the administrative agent or buying a participation interest. We plan to only employ this strategy with seasoned well-established organizations in the CRE lending industry such as private trusts, real estate financing institutions, mutual funds, pension funds, investment houses, or hedge funds of fund. We believe that this will afford the Company with an additional opportunity to participate in well-structured transactions with organizations with proven track records involving originating, underwriting, and servicing.

The Commercial Real Estate Lending Product
Operationally, management believes the market for commercial mortgage loans will offer opportunities for the deployment of capital we raise. The commercial real estate (CRE) markets have suffered greatly in recent years beginning with the 2008 U.S. financial market crisis, which resulted in a steep and prolonged recession. However, as the lending markets have steadily recovered along with market leaders such as large banks Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Capital One, believe CRE lending landscape has now stabilized in select Centralized Business Districts known as CBDs and afford extremely attractive opportunities for deploying capital. Thus, we will focus on positioning the Company to seize this opportunity within this market. We believe that our proposed business model is comparable to that currently being used by some of the top-level commercial real estate lender industry professionals. However, to compete and succeed within this industry, we, in conjunction with our affiliated lenders and building on the work of leaders in this market sector, have vetted and designed what we believe to be proprietary pricing and lending model for the commercial real estate finance debt and equity market. We believe that this lending model and strategic positioning will enable us, working together with our affiliated lenders, to successfully compete.
Key Operational Highlights CRE Loans
·
The overall core property commercial real estate (CRE) lending market is vast and global pushing well above a trillion dollars so we believe there are significant business opportunities that will afford the Company continued growth.
·
We expect that our lending model will allow for smaller increments of loans designed for quicker closings to permit investors to monitor development of the ongoing balance sheet and enable us to more rapidly achieve milestones.
·
Trepp.com a CMBS research firm, estimates the current size of the CMBS loan market at approximately $680 billion with $10.0 billion of underlying mortgages maturing between now and 2018.
·
We plan to retain or use seasoned commercial real estate securitization in-house and independent specialists retained by our affiliated lenders to coordinate our loan underwriting model centered on mitigating loan-loss risks and to perform all other related and required third party due diligence.
·
Since the securitization industry has standardized the underwriting criteria, we anticipate that it will allow for each third - party service provider we use to integrate and exchange information effectively and efficiently.
·
We believe that we will have low cost and prudent leverage available to us to fund Loans originated or made either through our affiliated lenders or directly.
·
We intend to utilize our own internal industry knowledge as well as our affiliated lenders significant loan origination, structuring, and closing experience to serve our needs to generate revenues.
·
Our strategy has been developed with the input of experienced industry veterans.
The Commercial Real Estate Market Forecast
According to Trepp Inc, a leading commercial real estate research firm, there was no Mayday call signaled by the CMBS market in May, as a number of factors namely a large chunk of resolved maturities, lower delinquency rate, and heightened volume of new issuance led to a pleasant month. As we near the halfway point of 2017, the monthly volumes of maturing loans will gradually begin to shrink. However, June represents the largest monthly total for the rest of the year as nearly $10 billion in CMBS needs to be refinanced. Also Based on a May 2017 snapshot, more than $266.6 billion in CMBS loans have been paid off in any manner since January 2015, including disposals with losses. Those disposed loans were written off with cumulative losses of more than $10.5 billion at an average loss in the 12-month period between June 2016 and May 2017, $122.5 billion in securitized mortgage debt
14
was liquidated, 8.30% of which incurred losses at resolution. Those loans that were disposed with losses were written down at an average severity of 41.65%. Based on underwritten maturity dates for loans that were scheduled to pay off during this time frame, 12,346 loans totaling $32.58 billion are still outstanding. For the month of May, a little more than $7.8 billion in maturing CMBS loans were resolved.
Loan Production Relationships
Our affiliated lenders and we have strategically aligned ourselves with top commercial real estate mortgage bankers nationwide with the goal of utilizing their production networks. We have focused on firms that have experienced loan origination back office staff to ensure our CRE Loan services will be appropriately and professionally being marketed. Also, management has a proprietary database of 50 to 100 mortgage bankers to market their CRE Loan products to and generate Loan production internally for consistent deal flow. In addition, we believe that as our operations expand, we always have the opportunity to establish and retain an in-house sales team.
Key Operational Highlights Asset-Backed Financing
Our asset-backed lending operations will be based on the premise that business does not always go as planned; therefore we will work with clients to get them realigned financially with viable solutions for optimum profitability. Key among the services provided through this division, is a line of factoring products.
Our main product will be advance factoring, which enables clients to turn accounts receivable into cash-on-hand with secured working capital loans. Accounts receivable, inventory or other assets such as real estate, equipment and intellectual property will secure the factoring divisions working capital Loans. Advance rates are determined based on analysis of appropriate metrics for each collateral class (e.g. accounts receivable dilution, assessed value of tangible assets).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements 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 is material to investors.
