NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and business

Direct Investment Holdings Group, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 19, 1996 and the Company is headquartered in Plantation, FL. The Company’s principal line of business and source of revenue is currently investments and interest on notes receivable. Direct Investment Holdings Group, Inc. is a publicly traded company; however, no trading market presently exists for the shares of common stock and its value is therefore not determinable.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring matters) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Operating results for the three months period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

NOTE 2. CHANGE OF CONTROL

A Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) was made, entered into, and closed as of April 7, 2021, by and among A Way Financial, Inc., a Delaware Business Corporation (the “Purchaser”) and TPS Income, Inc., and Nevada Sea Investments, Inc. (the “Sellers”).

Sellers were, prior to the transaction closing the beneficial owner of the following shares of the Company: (i)TPS Income, Inc.(“TPS”) owned 37.48%; and (ii) Nevada Sea Investments, Inc.(“Nevada Sea”)owned 37.82% of 1,057,628 shares of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock which were held in the respective name of the Sellers. As of the completion of the closing on April 7, 2021, the shares formerly owned by Sellers are owned by the Purchaser.

There are no outstanding note receivables from related party as of March 31, 2023.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4. MORTGAGE RECEIVABLE

A mortgage receivable for $290,903 was purchased by the Company on August 5, 2022 for face value from Direct Mortgage Investors, Inc. a related party. The note bears interest at 4.25% with a 30-year term and the payee is not a related party.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in best interest of our company. At March 31, 2023 there was a receivable from related party in the amount of $2,762 and a payable due to related party of $4,867 for reimbursement of funds.

NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting for income taxes. In the event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated.

Recognition of the benefits of deferred tax assets will require the Company to generate future taxable income. There is no assurance that the Company will generate earnings in future years.

NOTE 7. OTHER MATTERS 

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and across our portfolio. While we did not experience significant disruptions during 2021 from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties.

First Equity Properties, Inc., a Nevada Business Corporation, had a name change to Direct Investment Holdings, Inc. filed effective November 2, 2021 with the Secretary of State, State of Nevada.

NOTE 8. CONCENTRATIONS

The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which insure depositors up to $250,000. At March 31, 2023, cash balances exceeded the federally insured amount.

A substantial asset concentration related to a mortgage note receivable from one entity, a non-related party at March 31, 2023. Any adverse conditions that could affect the financial condition of this entity and specifically their ability to service debt obligation owed, could have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company. The entity is currently not in default of their obligations. Management of the Company considers the collectability of such obligation to not be a question at this time. 

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 17, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that no changes took part.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “project”, “result”, “should”, “will” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Change of Control Transaction

Related parties

We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships. Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.
