INTERNATIONAL LAND ALLIANCE, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Operations
International Land Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on September 26, 2013 (inception). The Company is a residential land development company with target properties located in the Baja California, Norte region of Mexico and southern California. The Company’s principal activities are purchasing properties, obtaining zoning and other entitlements required to subdivide the properties into residential and commercial building plots, securing financing for the purchase of the plots, improving the properties infrastructure and amenities, and selling the plots to homebuyers, retirees, investors and commercial developers.
The unaudited financial statements herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information have either read or have access to the audited financial statements for the latest year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, note disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the December 31, 2018 audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited financial statements.
Certain information and note disclosures included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 24, 2019.
Going Concern
The Company has faced significant liquidity shortages as shown in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $853,613. The Company has recorded a net loss of $923,935 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and has an accumulated deficit of $6,302,807 as of September 30, 2019. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $(798,939). Although the Company has had difficulty in obtaining working lines of credit from financial institutions and trade credit from vendors, management has been able to raise capital from private placements and further expand the Company’s operations geographically to continue its growth. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company initiated Private Placements of its securities, and had warrants exercised receiving total cash proceeds of $130,000. In addition, the Company obtained financing through term notes payable totaling $1,730,851, and convertible notes of $75,000.
The Company has begun to recognize revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and is continuing to focus its efforts on increased marketing campaigns to sell the plots of land. Americans and Canadians can own property in Mexico through a Fideicomiso or Bank Trust. Any foreigner can institute a Fideicomiso (the equivalent to an American beneficial trust) through a Mexican bank (ILA has selected Banco Bajio) in order to purchase real estate anywhere in Mexico, including what is commonly called the Restricted Zone. To do so, the buyer requests a Mexican bank to act as a trustee on his/her behalf. This conveys the same bundle of rights that holding property “fee simple” does in the United States. The property can be willed, leased, sold, rented, or improved in perpetuity and it is irrevocable. This title management system is very common in Mexico.
However, management determined in prior reporting periods that it does not fulfill “ownership”, as title is held by Banco Bajio, pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. During the current period, the Company has taken title to all 497 acres fee simple in the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary, International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V.. Banco Bajio will continue to act as Trustee for all Fideimosos on an ongoing basis.
Upon completion of the Oasis Park Resort, the Company also plans to take title fee simple for its Villas del Enologo in Rancho Tecate and Valle Divino in Ensenada, Baja California, while using Banco Bajio for all Fideicomisos.
7 |
Management anticipates that the Company’s capital resources will significantly improve if its plots of land gain wider market recognition and acceptance resulting in increased plot sales. If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales and weak demand for purchase of plots continues, the Company will experience a shortfall in cash and it will be necessary to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner or obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts to avoid the need to curtail its future operations subsequent to September 30, 2019. Given the liquidity and credit constraints in the markets, the business may suffer, should the credit markets not improve in the near future. The direct impact of these conditions is not fully known. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure additional funds if needed and that if such funds were available on commercially reasonable terms or in the necessary amounts, and whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company. In such case, the reduction in operating expenses might need to be substantial in order for the Company to generate positive cash flow to sustain the operations of the Company.
Public Listing
On March 5, 2019, the Company received its trading symbol “ILAL” from FINRA. On April 4, 2019, the Company was approved to have its common stock traded on the OTCQB. On April 12, 2019, the Company became eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in the United States. The DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC are considered “DTC eligible.” This electronic method of clearing securities creates efficiency of the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors and brokers, enabling the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms by coming into compliance with their requirements. Being DTC eligible is expected to greatly simplify the process of trading and transferring the Company’s common shares on the OTCQB.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ILA Fund I, LLC (the “ILA Fund”) a Company incorporated in the State of Wyoming and International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated in Mexico (“ILA Mexico”); the Company has a 100% equity interest in ILA Mexico. ILA Fund includes cash as its only assets with minimal expenses as of September 30, 2019. The sole purpose of this entity is strategic funding for the operations of the Company. ILA Mexico has lots held for sale for the Oasis Park Resort, no liabilities and minimal expenses as of September 30, 2019. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from managements estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Land Held for Sale
The Company considers properties to be assets held for sale when (1) management commits to a plan to sell the property; (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition and (3) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable given our estimate of current market value. Upon designation of a property as an asset held for sale, we record the property’s value at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
8 |
Land and Buildings
Land and building are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the use of the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial and tax reporting purposes, respectively, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 10 years. Buildings will have an estimated useful life of 20 years. Land is an indefinite lived asset that is stated at fair value at date of acquisition.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606.
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance.
The Company reviewed all agreements at the date of initial application and elected to use the modified retrospective transition method, where the cumulative effect of the initial application is recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018. Considering there was no revenue in prior periods, the comparative periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported under FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, (“ASC 605”). The adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance was immaterial.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | identification of the agreement, or agreements, with a buyer and/or investor; |
● | identification of the performance obligations in the agreement for the sale of lots including delivering title to the property being acquired from ILA; |
● | determination of the transaction price; |
● | allocation of the transaction price to the lots purchased when issued with equity or warrants to purchase equity in the Company; and |
● | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation such as delivering title to lots purchased. |
Revenue is measured based on considerations specified in the agreements with our customers. A contract exists when it becomes a legally enforceable agreement with a customer. The contract is based on either the acceptance of standard terms and conditions as stated in our agreement of lot sales or the execution of terms and conditions contracts with third parties and investors. These contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. Consideration was historically paid prior to transfer of title as stated above and in future land sales, the Company plans to transfer title to buyers at the time consideration has been transferred. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract or agreement to transfer a distinct product or item to the customer, which for us is transfer of title to our buyers. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the property that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the property is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. We have concluded the sale of property are accounted for as the single performance obligation.

The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring title to the customer.
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in a contract by transferring control over property to a customer when land title is legally transferred by the Company. The Company’s principal activities in the real estate development industry which it generates its revenues is the sale of developed and undeveloped land. The Company began to recognize revenues related to undeveloped land lots sold previously and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company previously recorded as an accrued liability, the relative fair value of plots of land sold by the Company to investors in conjunction with the sale of common stock to raise capital. The portion of the proceeds that was allocated to the lot sales, could not be recognized in revenues as the title was not previously owned by the Company, who had a promise to transfer title to the investor once the Company owned the land. This transfer of title took place in June 2019 and as such the performance obligation to deliver the property was satisfied in order to recognize revenues for all lots sold since inception and moving forward for the Oasis Park Resort property.
Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The Company has elected to use the simplified method described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14C to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The value of restricted stock awards are determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Management makes estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the income statement for the periods in which the adjustment is determined to be required. The Company does not believe that it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year.

Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total warrants issued and outstanding convertible into common stock amounted to 50,000 shares and 1,075,200 shares, respectively, and all shares are considered anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2019, there were no options granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through September 30, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company currently has no leases, therefore, there was no impact on the financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ASSET PURCHASE AND TITLE TRANSFER
Emerald Grove Asset Purchase
On July 30, 2018, Jason Sunstein, the Chief Financial Officer, entered into a Residential Purchase Agreement (“RPA” or “the Agreement”) to acquire real property located in Hemet, California, which included approximately 57 acres of land and a structure for $1.1 million from an unrelated seller. The property includes the main parcel of land with an existing structure along with three additional parcels of land which are vacant lots to be used for the purpose of development. The purpose of the transaction was as an investment in real property to be assigned to the Company subsequent to acquisition. The property was acquired by Mr. Sunstein since it was required by the seller to transfer the property for consideration from an individual versus a separate legal entity. The transaction closed on March 18, 2019 and the consideration included a loan financed in the amount of $605,000 (see Note 10) in addition to cash consideration of $524,613 which came from a portion of funds loaned by investors of the Company to be repaid as interest bearing notes payable (see Note 10). On March 18, 2019, Mr. Sunstein assigned the deed of the property to the Company. The attached mortgage obligation was assumed by the Company, as approval by the Board of Directors in March 2019. The mortgage loan was not assigned to the Company by the lender, however the lender acknowledged that the transfer of the property to the Company did not trigger an event of default. Mr. Sunstein remained a guarantor on the mortgage until the debt was paid in full during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 through a refinancing transaction (see Note 10). The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value on the date of assignment and assumption.
The Company has included all allowed acquisition costs of $22,050 in the value of the capitalized assets. The building and land asset values were assigned using a purchase price allocation based on the appraised land values. The total of the consideration plus acquisition costs assets of $1,122,050 was allocated to land and building in the following amounts: $180,470 - Land; $941,581 - Building. The land is an indefinite long-lived asset that were assessed for impairment as a grouped asset with the building on a periodic basis. The building has an estimated useful life of 20 years and were depreciated on a straight-line basis.

Oasis Park Title Transfer
On June 18, 2019, Baja Residents Club SA de CV (“BRC”), a related party with common ownership, transferred title to the Company for the Oasis Park property which was part of a previously held land project consisting of 497 acres to be acquired and developed into Oasis Park resort near San Felipe, Baja. It was previously subject to approval by the Mexican government in Baja, California which was finalized in June 2019. As consideration for the promise to transfer title, the Company previously issued 7,500,000 shares of founder’s common stock that was valued at $750,000 or $0.10 per common share. No prior accounting was recorded for this issuance pending resolution of the contingency to transfer title, which was resolved during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. A portion of this value was allocated to the Oasis Park resort and a portion will be allocated to other properties as the Company continues to receive transfer of title. ILA recorded the property held for sale on its balance sheet in the amount of $670,000 and accordingly reduced the value as lots are sold.
The Company transferred title to individual plots of land to the investors who have invested in the Company since the Company received this approval of change in transfer of title to the ILA. As such, the Company now recognized revenue for the plot sales previously executed.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitment to Purchase Land
There is one remaining land project consisting of 20 acres to be acquired and developed into Valle Divino resort in Ensenada, which is subject to approval by the Mexican government in Baja, California. The Company has promised to transfer title to the plots of land to the investors who have invested in the Company once the Company receives an approval of change in transfer of title to the Company. As of September 30, 2019, there was no promise to deliver title on any lots for the Valle Divino resort.
Land purchase
On September 25, 2019, the Company, entered into a definitive Land Purchase Agreement with Valdeland, S.A. de C.V. to acquire approximately one acre of land with plans and permits to build 34 units at the Bajamar Ocean Front Golf Resort located in Ensenada, Baja California. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the total purchase price is $1,000,000, payable in a combination of preferred stock ($600,000); common stock ($250,000/250,000 common shares at $1.00/share); a promissory note ($150,000); and an initial construction budget of $150,000 payable upon closing. A recent appraisal valued the land “as is” for $1,150,000. The closing is subject to obtaining the necessary approval by the City of Ensenada and transfer of title, which includes the formation of a wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary. The Company closed on the agreement on November 5, 2019 subsequent to year end, as a result no accounting impact was recorded as of September 30, 2019.
Commitment to Sell Land
On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a contract for deed agreement with IntegraGreen whose principal is also a creditor. Under the agreement the Company agreed to the sale of 20 acres of vacant land and associated improvements located at the Emerald Grove property in Hemet, California for a total purchase price of $630,000, $63,000 was paid upon execution and the balance is payable in a balloon payment on October 1, 2026 with interest only payments of $3,780 due on the 1st of each month beginning April 1, 2020. During the duration of the Agreement the Company retains title and is allowed to encumber the property with a mortgage at its discretion. The Company may also evict IntegraGreen from the premises in the case of default under the agreement.
Due to the nature of the agreement, the Company’s management deemed that there was an embedded lease feature in the agreement in accordance with ASC 842. As a result, the initial payment of $63,000 was classified as a contract liability under ASC 606 and it will be recognized as revenue evenly over the contract period using the effective amortization method or upon an event of default in which case the payment is non-refundable, and the Company no longer has any obligation to provide access to the land. The interest payments will be recognized monthly as lease income. As of September 30, 2019, no revenue had been recognized and a contract liability of $63,000 was reported on the Company’s balance sheet.
Litigation Costs and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business. Management is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
In the normal course of business, the Company incurs costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise it on regulatory, litigation and other matters. The Company expenses these costs as the related services are received. If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonable estimated, the Company recognizes an expense for the estimated loss.

Stock Options
On February 11, 2019, the Company’s board approved a 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). In order for the 2019 Plan to grant “qualified stock options” to employees, it required approval by the Corporation’s shareholders within 12 months from the date of the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan was never approved by the shareholders. Therefore, any options granted under the 2019 Plan prior to shareholder approval will be “non-qualified”. Pursuant to the 2019 Plan, the Company has reserved a total of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be available under the plan. As of September 30, 2019, ILA has not granted any options, as such, there is no share-based compensation for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted, significantly altering U.S. corporate income tax law. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which allows companies to record reasonable estimates of enactment impacts where all of the underlying analysis and calculations are not yet complete. The provisional estimates must be finalized within a one-year measurement period. The Company reduced its net domestic deferred tax asset balance by $219,863 due to the reduction in corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. These adjustments are fully offset by a change in the Company’s U.S. valuation allowance.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $6,302,000 for U.S. federal and Wyoming income tax purposes, such net operating losses (NOLs) are available to offset future taxable income expiring on various dates through 2035. Due to changes in our ownership through common stock issuances, the utilization of NOLs may be subject to annual limitations and discounts under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. We have not conducted a complete analysis to determine the extent of these limitations or any future limitation. Such limitations could result in the permanent loss of a significant portion of the NOLs. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of its realization. The net change in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was an increase of $212,131 and $116,719, respectively.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessment by these taxing authorities. Accordingly, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of tax positions it has taken in its tax returns or for the amount of any tax benefit that exceeds the cumulative probability threshold in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts determined upon ultimate resolution, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of September 30, 2019, tax years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 remain open for examination by the IRS and California. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service or California for any of the open tax years.
NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt (See Notes 11 & 12) approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
● | Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. |
● | Level 2 | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments. |
● | Level 3 | Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2019:
Amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||
Embedded conversion feature derivative liability | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 98,296 | ||||||||
Total | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 98,296 |
18 |
The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 12), was convertible at issuance which qualified them as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in ASC Topic No. 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic No. 815-15”). Topic No. 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt.
The Black-Scholes model, adopted by management as an appropriate financial model, utilized the following inputs to value the derivative liabilities at the date of issuance of the convertible note through September 30, 2019:
Fair value assumptions: | August 7, 2019 through September 30, 2019 | |||
Risk free interest rate | 1.88-2.05 | % | ||
Expected term (years) | 0.263-0.585 | |||
Expected volatility | 265%-276 | % | ||

Results of Operations for the Three and nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three and nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
We recorded revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $8,493 and $463,799, respectively, as we were able to satisfy our performance obligation and recognize sales of lots related to our Oasis Park Resort having assumed title of the property in June 2019. We did not record any revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Total cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $799 and $21,042, respectively. There was no cost of revenues for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018. Total operating expenses recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $426,024 and $1,094,737, respectively, compared to $89,374 and $486,009, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. We had a net loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, of $513,721 and $923,935 respectively; and a net loss of $111,117 and $555,806, respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The factors that we anticipate will most significantly affect future operating results will be:
● | The acquisition of land with lots for sale; | |
● | The sale price of future lots, compared to the sale price of lots in other resorts in Mexico; | |
● | The cost to construct a home on the lots to be transferred, and the quality of construction; | |
● | The quality of our amenities; and | |
● | The global economy and the demand for vacation homes. | |
● | The negotiations to extend or refinance our debt in default |
Other than the foregoing we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our revenues or expenses.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash was $312 and $971 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we recorded a loss of $513,721 and $923,935, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $111,117 and $555,806, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2019 was $853,613 and net cash flows used in operating activities for nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $(798,939). These factors and our limited ability to raise additional capital to accomplish our objectives, raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operations and the development of our current business operations. We anticipate generating continued revenues over the next twelve months as we continue to market the sale of lots held for sale, now having assumed title of our Oasis Park Resort property; however, we there can be no assurance that such revenue will be sufficient to cover our expenses. Consequently, we expect to be dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to sustain our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate.
We presently do not have any significant credit available, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
25 |
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on our operations. Regardless of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing shareholders. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing.
No assurance can be given that sources of financing will be available to us and/or that demand for our equity/debt instruments will be sufficient to meet our capital needs, or that financing will be available on terms favorable to us. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, any of which could have a negative impact on our business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:
● | Curtail our operations significantly, or | |
● | Seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require us to relinquish significant rights to our development of resorts and correlated services, or | |
● | Explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of our Company. |

Our ability to continue as a going concern is still dependent on our success in obtaining additional financing from investors or from sale of our common shares.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
With continued efforts to increase oversight and to remediate any underlying control issues, the Company has engaged the services of a third-party consulting firm to implement adequate processes and procedures to strengthen controls. The goal is of the Company is to build an established finance and accounting department as the Company continues to increase operations. Other than with respect to the ongoing plan for improved internal controls, there has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management expects to strengthen internal control further during 2019 which is subject to available financial resources by developing stronger business and financial processes for accounting for transactions such as warrant/stock issuances, which will enhance internal control for the Company.
