Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
 
NOTE 1.                      ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

REO Plus, Inc. (“the Company”) was organized on August 11, 2009 for the purpose of investing in real estate.  The Company has had no operations other than its acquisition of 40% of Ananda Investments, LLC, (“Ananda.”)

During September 2013, the Company began providing business consulting services.  Such services are rendered to a related party by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Revenues from consulting services are attributable to one client.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of REO Plus, 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 audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the interim financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K have been omitted.
 
NOTE 2.                      GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $507,137 since its inception and has not yet produced earnings from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.  Management anticipates that it will be able to raise additional working capital through the issuance of stock through a private equity offering.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing.  There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.

NOTE 3.                      INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

On January 2, 2010 the Company acquired a 40% interest in Ananda, a Texas limited liability company, which owns a commercial real estate rental property in Houston, Texas.  This acquisition was accomplished by the issuance of 934,500 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $27,500 and the issuance of a promissory note in the amount of $190,000. The investment was acquired from a controlling shareholder and recorded at the controlling shareholder’s cost basis with a resulting “deemed” dividend.  The transaction was treated as a transfer between entities under common control as follows:

Issuance of promissory note
    190,000

      unsecured, principal and interest due February 9, 2017
  $ 290,960

    $ 490,960  
 
 
 

 

NOTE 4.                      NOTES PAYABLE, STOCKHOLDERS (Continued)

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of its investment in Ananda, the Company executed a note payable to a majority stockholder in the amount of $190,000 with interest accruing at 7% per annum commencing on the first day of the fourth month after Ananda obtained an occupancy permit for the property it owns in Houston, Texas.

The permit was obtained on April 1, 2010, therefore the note of $190,000 began accruing interest on July 1, 2010.

Such stockholder owns a 95% interest in the Company through his 50% ownership of REO and 90% ownership of the other 50% corporate stockholder of REO.

On February 10, 2014, the Company received $30,000 in proceeds from a note due to its majority shareholder.  On the same date, the majority shareholder consolidated all of the notes payable to him into one promissory note.  The principal balance due to the majority shareholder upon consolidation is $290,960.  The note bears interest at 5% per annum and is due February 9, 2017.  Accrued interest on the notes of $5,541 was paid at the time of consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.  These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

General

REO Plus, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 10, 2009 under the laws of the State of Texas.  The address of the Company is 3014 McCulloch Circle, Houston, Texas 77056, and its telephone number is 713/599-1910.

       The Company was formed by a Delaware corporation then known as “Akashic Ventures, Inc.” but now known as “Humanity Biotech, Inc.” (“Akashic”), for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties.  Akashic is a publicly held corporation that once filed reports with the Commission.  Akashic has been dormant from a business perspective since about the summer of 1997.  Richard J. Church acquired control of Akashic on May 18, 2008.  He is now the sole director and officer of Akashic.  Mr. Church is the sole promoter of the Company, and he is serving and expects to continue to serve for the foreseeable future as the Company's sole director, and the Company’s President, Treasurer and Secretary.

When the Company was formed in August 2009, Akashic contributed $27,500 to the Company’s capital, and in consideration thereof the Company issued to Akashic 934,500 shares of Company common stock, thereby making Akashic the Company’s initial shareholder.  Until early 2010, Mr. Church was a 40% owner of Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), a Texas limited liability company that owns a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas.  This 40% ownership is comprised of 400 units of limited liability company member interest.  In early 2010, Mr. Church transferred his 40% ownership in Ananda to the Company.  The Company issued to Mr. Church some of its shares of common stock as part of the purchase price for the Ananda interest.  As a result of the Ananda transfer, the Company became the largest owner of Ananda by a wide margin.   Because Ananda is member-managed, the Company exerts the greatest control over Ananda.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company began providing real estate and business consulting services as a means to generate revenue.  Currently, such services are provided solely by Mr. Church solely to one client, his family’s company, Southwestern Manufacturing Co., Inc. (“SWC”), founded in 1954 in which Mr. Church owns approximately 14% of the outstanding equity interests and acts as a director. SWC is currently conducting a major renovation of its Houston property located on the Southwest Freeway (I-69) at Chimney Rock.   The ultimate scope of the Company’s consulting services cannot now be determined, but any consulting performed by Mr. Church as a representative of the Company would be within the limitations set forth by the Real Estate License Act 1101.002.

The Company became a publicly held corporation in November 2012 when Akashic distributed to certain of its shareholders a total of 930,493 shares of Company common stock held by it.

Plan of Operation

The Company generally expects to seek well-located properties in need of capital infusion, or total redevelopment, as properties requiring more extensive real estate skills and effort allow for the greatest appreciation on invested capital.  The properties and assets to be acquired by the Company will most likely include commercial, retail, residential and mixed-use properties.  Such properties and assets will less likely include office properties, and will almost certainly not include industrial properties.  Thus far, the Company has acquired only an interest in one property.  For a description of this sole

 
 

 

property interest, see the section captioned “Item 2.  Properties” in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Company will not limit itself geographically, except that the Company is targeting initial acquisitions located in the Houston, Texas area and eventually other parts of Texas.  However, as opportunities present themselves, the Company may focus its efforts on secondary and tertiary geographic markets throughout the United States, particularly in areas that have had significant declines in property values and thus possibly offer opportunities for significant appreciation.  The Company believes that distressed markets offer opportunities for the Company to acquire under-performing properties that it believes it has the capability of turning around and repositioning, thereby increasing cash flow, profitability and asset value. The Company believes it can successfully identify such potential target acquisitions based upon the depth and the breadth of the industry experience, contacts and industry knowledge of the Company’s current management.   While since its inception the Company has identified certain acquisitions that it would have like to have completed, the Company’s lack of funds has precluded the completion of such acquisitions.  The Company believes that its fairly new status as a public SEC reporting company will ease the Company’s ability to raise funds, and make the completion of acquisitions to be identified in the future more likely.  The Company is also considering other real estate properties whose values could be enhanced if held in a public entity.  However, the Company has no assurances that any financing, acquisitions or merger will occur.  Richard J. Church, the Company’s current sole executive officer and director, has the responsibility for identifying acquisitions or selecting acquisitions identified by other sources.  Mr. Church has extensive experience in the real estate industry through his various real estate enterprises.
 
The Company is now receiving target acquisitions from a number of brokers and other real estate professionals and dealmakers with whom the Company’s current management has business relationships.  Moreover, potential acquisitions may be brought to the Company’s attention by sources as a result of being solicited by the Company through calls or mailings.  In no event will any of the Company’s existing or future officers, directors or shareholders or any entity with which they are affiliated be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of an acquisition.

The Company does not have any specific property acquisition under consideration for which written offers have been made.  The Company has been approached by entities offering their properties for sale and other entities contemplating the merger of the Company with their non-public corporation, but these discussions have not evolved to the point where the Company has entered into any agreements in principle, much less any definitive agreements.  The Company will continue to identify and evaluate prospective property acquisition, performing business due diligence on prospective property acquisitions, traveling to and from the property and asset locations that represent prospective acquisitions, reviewing corporate, title, environmental, and financial documents and material agreements regarding prospective property acquisitions, selecting properties to acquire and striving to structure, negotiate and consummate acquisitions.  The Company will have certain burdens and costs with respect to these activities and certain additional risks associated with the subsequent integration of additional assets or properties into the Company’s operations.

The Company does not presently intend to invest in real estate mortgages, securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities (other than the Company’s current interest in Ananda), or investments in other securities such as bonds, preferred stocks or common stocks.  However, the Company's Board of Directors may elect to make these investments in the future without a vote of shareholders.

For a description of the Company’s acquisition criterion and policies, see the sections captioned “Item 1. Business - Acquisition Selection” and “Item 1. Business - Policies with Respect to Certain Activities” in pre-effective Amendment No. 8 the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations - General
 
The Company was incorporated on August 10, 2009 for purposes of acquiring financially attractive real estate properties.  The Company made its first and heretofore only property acquisition in early January 2010.  This acquisition consisted of a 40% ownership interest in Ananda Investments, LLC (“Ananda”), a Texas limited liability company that owns

 
 

 

 
a particular real estate property near and west of downtown Houston, Texas.  Because it has owned only this single asset since 2010, the Company has limited financial results to report.
 
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, was signed into law on April 5, 2012.  As permitted under Section 102(b)(1) of this Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  This election allows the Company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.  As a result of this election, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
 
Results of Operations – REO Plus, Inc.
 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
 
Revenues.  During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had revenues in the amount of $5,467 from consulting services.  During the second quarter of 2013, the Company had no revenues from this source (or any other source) as the Company began providing consulting services during the third quarter of 2013.
 
Expenses.  During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had expenses in the amount of $9,818 from professional fees.  These expenses represent a decrease of $3,687 from expenses in the amount of $13,505 for professional fees during the second quarter of 2013.  This decrease resulted primarily from lower audit fees paid in 2014 compared to those paid during the corresponding period in 2013.
 
Net Loss from Operations.  Because the Company had revenues in the second quarter of 2014 and expenses for such quarter declined, the Company had a net loss from operations in the amount of $4.351 during the second quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss from operations in the amount of $13,505 during the second quarter of 2013.
 
Other Income (Expense).   During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had equity in loss of its unconsolidated affiliate, Ananda, in the amount of $7,769.  This equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate represents a $8,953 decrease from the equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate in the amount of $1,184 during the second quarter of 2013 as Ananda’s financial performance decreased correspondingly from the earlier period to the latter.  During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had interest expense in the amount of $7,067.  All of this interest was due to Richard J. Church, our sole director and officer, and a Delaware corporation then known as “Akashic Ventures, Inc.” but now known as “Humanity Biotech, Inc.” (“Akashic”), an entity under the control of Mr. Church.   Of this amount, $3,325 was due to Mr. Church as consideration for his sale to the Company in early 2010 of the ownership interest in Ananda now owned by the Company.  The Company also accrued this same amount of interest in the second quarter of 2013 for the same reason.  The remaining $3,742 of the $7,067 interest expense amount was due to Mr. Church as consideration for loans made to the Company for operating expenses.  This represents a slight increase of $626 in interest accrued in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013.

Net Loss.  In view of revenues and a decrease in expenses (offset largely by equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate), the Company had a net loss in the amount of $19,187 during the second quarter of 2014, or a per-share loss of $0.01, compared to a net loss in the amount of $18,762 during the second quarter of 2013, or a per-share loss of $0.01.
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
 
Revenues.  During the first six months of 2014, the Company had revenues in the amount of $11,966 from consulting services.  During the first six months of 2013, the Company had no revenues from this source (or any other source) as the Company began providing consulting services during the third quarter of 2013.
 
Expenses.  During the first six months of 2014, the Company had expenses in the amount of $39,086 from professional fees.  These expenses represent a decrease of $10,484 from expenses in the amount of $49,570 for professional fees during the first six months of 2013.  This decrease resulted primarily from lower legal, accounting and audit fees paid in 2014 compared to those paid during the corresponding period in 2013.
 
 
 

 
 
Net Loss from Operations.  Because the Company had revenues in the first six months of 2014 and expenses for such quarter declined, the Company had a net loss from operations in the amount of $27,120 during the first six months of 2014, compared to a net loss from operations in the amount of $49,570 during the first six months of 2013.
 
Other Income (Expense). During the first six months of 2014, the Company had equity in loss of its unconsolidated affiliate, Ananda, in the amount of $10,656.  This equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate represents a $14,654 decrease from the equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate in the amount of $3,998 during the first six months of 2013 as Ananda’s financial performance decreased correspondingly from the earlier period to the latter.  During the first six months of 2014, the Company had interest expense in the amount of $13,760.  All of this interest was due to Mr. Church and Akashic for the seller-financing and loans for operating expenses described above.  Of this amount, $6,650 was due to Mr. Church as consideration for his sale to the Company in early 2010 of the ownership interest in Ananda now owned by the Company.  The Company also accrued this same amount of interest in the first six months of 2013 for the same reason.  The remaining $7,110 of the $13,760 interest expense amount was due to Mr. Church and an entity controlled by him as consideration for loans made to the Company for operating expenses.  This represents a slight increase of $1,388 in interest accrued in the first six months of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013.
 
Net loss.  In view of revenues and a decrease in expenses (offset largely by equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate), the Company had a net loss in the amount of $51,536 during the first six months of 2014, or a per-share loss of $0.03, compared to a net loss in the amount of $57,944 during the first six months of 2013, or a per-share loss of $0.03.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

. The Company began its pursuit of real estate acquisitions in 2010.  Currently, the Company has only one real estate interest.  The Company cannot assure anyone that it will be able to acquire any additional real estate properties due to the Company’s limited financial resources at the present.  The Company expects to finance any future acquisition with a combination of a cash down payment (probably 10% to 25% or more of the purchase price) and seller or third party financing (for the remaining approximately 75% to 90% of the purchase price), although the Company may in limited circumstances be able to satisfy a portion of the purchase price for a property with the Company’s equity securities.  The Company will need to procure cash to fund future down payments from a future private equity offering.  Moreover, the Company expects that its largest shareholder may be required to guarantee personally the Company’s seller or third party financing.

The Company is currently trying to determine the scope of the acquisitions that it wishes to pursue.  The amount of capital that the Company will need will depend on the scope of the acquisitions that the Company ultimately decides to pursue, which is uncertain at this time.  However, for the Company to acquire any additional real estate properties, the Company would be required to undertake certain financing activities.  The sources for financing would most likely be private equity sources, such as institutional investors or wealthy individuals.  The Company currently does not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of, additional financing.  The Company cannot assure anyone that additional financing will be available to it when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonably terms.  If the Company does not obtain additional financing, it will not be able to acquire any additional real estate properties, and perhaps will not even be able to stay in business for that matter.  If the Company does not obtain necessary additional financing, it may be constrained to attempt to sell the sole interest that it has heretofore acquired or additional interests that it may hereafter acquire.  However, the Company cannot assure anyone that it will be able to find interested buyers or that the funds received from any such sale would be adequate to fund the Company’s activities.  Under certain circumstances, the Company could be forced to cease its operations and liquidate its remaining assets, if any.  The Company cannot assure anyone that it will be successful in obtaining necessary capital and in its acquisition activities, although the Company believes that the procurement of additional financing and the completion of additional acquisitions will be easier in view of its fairly new status as a public SEC reporting company.
 
       The Company has incurred losses since inception.  These losses have been financed by loans to the Company by Richard J. Church, the controlling stockholder of the Company, and an entity controlled by him.  The aggregate amount of the loans by Mr. Church to the Company now totals $303,460.  Of this amount, $170,960 was borrowed through fiscal 2012, $90,000 during fiscal 2013, and $42,500 during fiscal 2014 through August 12, 2014.  Further information about this outstanding amount can be found in “Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence – Related Transactions” in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Mr. Church has indicated that he intends to continue to loan funds to the Company for expenses in excess of revenues for the next 12 months, but he is under no legal obligation to do so.

 
 

 

Accordingly, he could stop making such loans at any time, and the Company would be constrained to find alternative sources of funds.  The Company has no assurance that it will be able to find such alternative sources.  Moreover, if Mr. Church decides to stop financing the Company’s expenses, he may also decide to sell all or some portion of his stock in the Company to one or more persons who may elect to discontinue the Company’s historical business and change the Company’s business focus.

Known Trends

Because of the steady improvement in domestic real estate markets across the board and specifically in Houston and the growth of the oil and gas business in Texas, discerning definite trends through 2014 seems reasonable.   Property values and property taxes are increasing in targeted markets, and the continuation of this trend seems likely, at least through 2014.  Rents and occupancy have been increasing slightly in targeted markets, but they could begin to decline if the domestic economy softens.  Management believes that most industry participants have assumed a definitely more aggressive approach in land, property acquisition and development.  The Company is evaluating opportunities on a property-by-property basis while anticipating perceived trends to continue at least through 2014, and it expects the business to support development to remain steady through 2016, although there can no assurances that the business climate will remain attractive during this period.  Another positive factor in today's market is the continued historical lower interest rates that may be fixed for a number of years (as the loan received by Ananda for a fifteen (15) year amortization) and that significantly reduce the expense of capital, and acquisition/refinancing loans are less difficult to obtain in today's market as there are more lenders with firming financial positions and loosened requirements for real estate than were available less than two (2) years ago.

Seasonal Effects and Effects of Inflation

Management believes that the real estate interest that it currently owns is not, and the ones that it will seek to acquire in the future will not be, subject to seasonal variations.  Management further believes that inflation will not affect the Company for the foreseeable future since the Company's financing is fixed through September 2014, although inflation may have greater effects in future years with increased interest rates, and in ways that cannot now be determined.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have identified that the lack of segregation of accounting duties as a result of limited personnel resources is a material weakness of its financial procedures.  Other than for this exception, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 
 

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control 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 our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, 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 by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
