INTERNATIONAL LAND ALLIANCE, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
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. The Company is a residential land development company with target properties located in the Baja California, Northern 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.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has faced significant liquidity shortages as shown in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $5.7 million. The Company has recorded a net loss of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, has an accumulated deficit of approximately $19.0 million as of September 30, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $506,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt instruments and equity to fund its ongoing operations, which may have the effect of potentially diluting the holdings of existing shareholders.
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 and house construction. If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales, the Company will continue to experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts or to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner to avoid the need to curtail its future operations subsequent to September 30, 2022. 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. (See Note 11 regarding subsequent events).

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, International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated in Mexico (“ILA Mexico”), and Emerald Grove Estates LLC, incorporated in the State of California, Plaza Bajamar, LLC, incorporated in State of Wyoming, Plaza Valle Divino, LLC, incorporated in the State of Wyoming. ILA Fund includes cash as its only assets with minimal expenses as of September 30, 2022. The sole purpose of this entity is strategic funding for the operations of the Company. ILA Mexico has plots held for sale for the Oasis Park Resort, no liabilities, and minimal expenses as of September 30, 2022. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities were as follows:
| Name of Consolidated Subsidiary or Entity | State or Other Jurisdiction of Incorporation or Organization | Attributable Interest | ||||
| ILA Fund I, LLC | Wyoming | 100 | % | |||
| International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V. (ILA Mexico) | Mexico | 100 | % | |||
| Emerald Grove Estates, LLC | California | 100 | % | |||
| Plaza Bajamar LLC | Wyoming | 100 | % | |||
| Plaza Valle Divino, LLC | Wyoming | 100 | % | |||
Investments - Equity Method
The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2022, management believes the carrying value of its equity method investments was recoverable in all material respects.
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 management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include:
| ■ | Liability for legal contingencies. |
| 8 |
| ■ | Useful life of buildings. | |
| ■ | Assumptions used in valuing equity instruments. | |
| ■ | Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances. | |
| ■ | Going concern. | |
| ■ | Assessment of long-lived asset for impairment. | |
| ■ | Significant influence or control over the Company’s investee. | |
| ■ | Revenue recognition. |
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as one reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of any balance sheet dates presented or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid, and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contracts liability, deposits, promissory notes, net of debt discounts and promissory notes related party approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Equity-method investment is recorded at cost, which approximates its fair value since the consideration transferred includes cash and a non-monetary transaction, in the form of the Company’s common stock, which was valued based on a combination of a market and asset approach.
| 9 |
The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operation.
The following table presents balances of the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of September 30, 2022:

Cost Capitalization
The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the property, legal fees, and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as buildings in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development, and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete, and capitalization must cease, involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by ASC 835-20 Interest – Capitalization of Interest and ASC 970 Real Estate - General. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy or sale upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
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 the 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 net realizable value.
| 10 |
Land and Buildings
Land and buildings 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. 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
Under ASC 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 guidance sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model. The underlying principle of the 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 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(s) for the sale of plots including the delivering title to the property being acquired from ILA. | |
| ■ | Determination of the transaction price. | |
| ■ | Allocation of the transaction price to the plots 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 the transfer of control of the plots. |
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 plot 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 if the acquisition of the property has been completed by the Company. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay; however, collection risk is mitigated through collecting payment in advance or through escrow arrangements. 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 that the existing contracts only have one single performance obligation identified as the transfer of control of the property to the buyer, since the delivery of the title is merely seen as a protective right. Currently, upon execution of each contract, the Company has not developed sufficient controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that collection of the consideration, which the Company is entitled to, is probable. The Company has recognized $15,000 and $45,000 of revenue from the seller’s financed contracts for deed in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company currently retains title of the underlying asset under each contract until the customer pays the consideration in full. Management considers the retention of title as merely a protective right, which would potentially not disallow revenue recognition for the full consideration to which the Company is entitled.
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 expect 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. The Company’s principal activities in the real estate development industry which it generates its revenues is the sale of developed and undeveloped land.

Advertising costs
The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. Advertising costs incurred amounted to $903,283 and $1,276,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts
Debt issuance costs and debt discounts are being amortized over the term of the related financings on a straight-line approach, which approximates the effective interest method. Costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
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 stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Any compensation cost previously recognized for an unvested award that is forfeited because of a failure to satisfy a service condition is reversed in the period of the forfeiture. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Stock-based compensation includes the fair value of options, warrants and restricted stocks issued to employees, directors, and non-employees.
On February 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2019 equity incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). In order for the 2019 plan to grant “qualified stock options” to employees, it requires approval by the Company’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 shareholders’ approval will be “non-qualified”. Pursuant to the 2019 Plan, the Company has reserved a total of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan. The Company has a total of options issued and outstanding under the 2019 Plan as of September 30, 2022.
On August 26, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2020 Equity Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The Company has reserved a total of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock for issuance under the 2020 equity plan. The 2020 Equity Plan enables the Company’s board of directors to provide equity-based incentives through grants of awards to the Company’s present and future employees, directors, consultants, and other third-party service providers. The Company has a total of options issued and outstanding under the 2020 plan as of September 30, 2022.
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. Management 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.
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible notes payable using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are antidilutive.

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, 2022.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s data to confirm to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results, cash flows or stockholders’ deficit.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards:
In March of 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method. The amendments in this Update amend the guidance in ASU 2017-12 relating to the “last-of-layer” method and rename the method as the “portfolio layer” method. It expands the scope of existing guidance so that entities can apply the portfolio layer method to portfolios of all financial assets, including both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets. Additionally, the standard expands the current model to explicitly allow entities to designate multiple layers in a single portfolio as individual hedged items. This allows a larger portion of the interest rate risk associated with such a portfolio to be hedged. The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted in any interim period after its issuance. The Company has not yet adopted this Update.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 provides guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, by introducing an approach based on expected losses. The expected loss approach will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition method and early adoption is permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases (“ASU 2019-10”), which defers the adoption of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies until periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016-13 and will continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
Adopted Accounting Standards:
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. In addition, ASU 2020-06 amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The amendments also affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendments are effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2022, which did not result in a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases, and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance or implementation guidance including ASU 2017-13, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and 2019-01 (collectively, including ASU 2016-02, “ASC 842”), which supersedes the guidance in topic ASC 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether related expenses are recognized based on the effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For any leases with a term of greater than 12 months, ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make the lease payments arising from a lease, and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. An election can be made to account for leases with a term of 12 months or less similar to existing guidance for operating leases under ASC 840.
| 13 |
The new standard will also require new disclosures, including qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For emerging growth companies such as the Company, ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted.
The new standard will also require new disclosures, including qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For public companies, the new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2022, which did not result in a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows, as the Company has no material leases.
There were no other new accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and there were no other new accounting standards or pronouncements that were issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2022, that the Company expects to have a material impact on its consolidated 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) to acquire real property located in Hemet, California, which included approximately 80 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 plots to be used for the purpose of development “vacant plots”. 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 that the seller transfer the property for consideration to an individual versus a separate legal entity. On March 18, 2019, Mr. Sunstein assigned the deed of the property to the Company. The total of the consideration plus acquisition costs assets of $1,122,050 was allocated to land and building in the following amounts: $271,225 – Land; $850,826 – Building. The land is an indefinite long-lived asset that was assessed for impairment as a grouped asset with the building on a periodic basis. The Company completed the refinancing of its existing first and second mortgage loans on the 80 acres of land and existing structure of its Emerald Grove property for aggregate principal amount of $1,787,000, which provided a net funding of approximately $387,000 during the first fiscal quarter of 2021.
On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a contract for deed agreement with Integra Green 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, however Integra Green has the right to use the property. The Company may also evict Integra Green from the premises in the case of default under the agreement.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received an additional $149,980 related to the purchase and recognized $496,797 of revenue related to the sale of 20 acres of vacant land and associated improvements located at the Emerald Grove property in Hemet, California, to IntegraGreen.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $45,000 of interest income from the financing component of the lot sale to IntegraGreen as well as the coupon on the financed amount. Such amount is reported as revenue in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Oasis Park Title Transfer
On June 18, 2019, Baja Residents Club SA de CV (“BRC”), a related party with common ownership and control by our CEO, Robert Valdes, 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. ILA recorded the property held for sale on its balance sheet in the amount of $670,000 and accordingly reduced the value as plots are sold. As of September 30, 2022, the Company reported a balance for assets held for sale of $647,399.
The Company transferred title to individual plots of land to the investors since the Company received this approval of change in transfer of title to ILA.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not enter into any new contract to sell plots of land.
On September 29, 2021, the Company entered into a house construction contract for total consideration of $99,000, of which $20,000 was funded as of December 31, 2021, and presented under Contract Liability in the consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the customer funded additional amount of approximately $24,000, for total consideration paid of approximately $44,000 or 44% of the total consideration.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold three (3) lots to an affiliate of a related party of the Company for a total purchase price of $120,000, of which $19,500 was funded as of December 31, 2021. The affiliate funded an additional $33,970 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, for aggregate amount funded since inception of $53,470 or approximately 45% of the purchase price as of September 30, 2022. The amount funded was recorded and reported under contract liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022, as the collectability criterion for the existence of a contract was not deemed to be sufficiently satisfied to qualify for recognition of revenue pursuant to ASC 606.

The fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined based on weighted combination of market approach and asset approach. The market approach estimates fair value based on a weighted average between the listed price of the Company’s common shares and the Company’s recent private transaction adjusted for a lack of marketability discount.
The investment has been accounted for under the equity method. It was determined that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact RCV’s economic performance, and therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of RCV and RCV has not been consolidated under the variable interest model.
The investment was initially recorded at cost, which was determined to be $2,680,000.

Preferred Stock
On November 6, 2019, the Company authorized and issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”) and 350,000 shares of common stock to CleanSpark Inc. in a private equity offering for $500,000. Management determined that the Series B should not be classified as liability per the guidance in ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as of September 30, 2022, even though the conversion would require the issuance of variable number of shares since such obligation is not unconditional. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, management recorded the value attributable to the Series B of $293,500 as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets since the instrument is contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. The Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) that arises from a contingent conversion feature, since the instrument reached maturity during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company recognized such BCF as a discount on the convertible preferred stock. The amortization of the discount created by a BCF recognized as a result of the resolution of the contingency is treated as a deemed dividend that reduced net income in arriving at income available to common stockholders. The holder can convert the Series B into shares of common stock at a discount of 35% to the market price.
The terms and conditions of the Series B include an in-kind accrual feature, which provides for a cumulative accrual at a rate of 12% per year of the face amount of the Series B. The Company has recognized $45,000 of dividend on Series B during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Such amount has been reported in Additional Paid In Capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) states that the in-kind accrual rate should be increased by10% per year upon each occurrence of an event of default. In addition, the SPA further states that the conversion price initially set at a discount of 35% to the market price should be further increased by additional 10% upon each occurrence of an event of default. At the date of this Quarterly Report, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock, CleanSpark, claims that the Company was in default in three instances triggering further discount to the market price for the conversion feature and additional accrual rate. The Company believes that it has never been in default of any covenant pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company has not been served with any notice of default stating the specific default events. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, the parties are cooperating to resolve this matter.
The Company did not issue any share of preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview of Our Company
The Company was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Wyoming on September 26, 2013. We are based in San Diego, California. We are a residential land development company with target properties located primarily in the Baja California Norte region of Mexico and Southern California. Our 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 lots to homebuyers, retirees, investors, and commercial developers. We offer the option of financing (i.e. taking a promissory note from the buyer for all or part of the purchase price) with a guaranteed acceptance on any purchase for every customer.
Overview
The real estate market in the Northern Baja California has continued to significantly improve and has fully recover from the negative impact of Covid-19. The housing prices has continued to rise in the Southwest U.S., and inventory has remained severely low, which generated additional attraction from home buyers seeking second homes or vacation homes.
The Company’s current portfolio includes residential, resort and commercial properties comprising the following projects:
| ■ | Oasis Park Resort is a 497-acres master planned real estate community including 1,344 residential home sites, south of San Felipe, Baja California that offers180-degree sea and mountain views. In addition to the residential lots, there is a planned boutique hotel, a spacious commercial center, and a nautical center. The Company recently allowed prospective homeowners and existing lot holders to tour the property again, which resulted in multiple sales closings and commitments for new home construction. 75 of the 1,344 planned residential lots were pre-sold to initial stakeholders. The Company has made significant progress on the project, which included the completion of the two-mile access road and the community entrance structure. The Company also completed the construction of the waterfront clubhouse, and model homes. The Company has not sold any home sites during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, but has received approximately $24,000 in additional payments from a home construction sold during the fourth quarter of 2021 for purchase price of $99,000. | |
| ■ | Valle Divino is a self-contained solar 650-home site project in Ensenada, Baja California, with test vineyard at the property. This resort includes 137 residential lots and 3 commercial lots on 20 acres of land. The Company has a dedicated partner for solar-plus-storage power solutions at its properties, CleanSpark, Inc., which serves as the Company’s exclusive partner for the installation of solar solutions across its portfolio. Management believes that this represents an estimated $60 million in gross sales opportunity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold 6 land plots for total purchase price of $270,000, of which $2,250 has been collected. The amount collected was reported under contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets. | |
| ■ | Plaza Bajamar Resort is an 80-unit project located at the internationally renowned Bajamar Ocean front hotel and golf resort. The Bajamar oceanfront golf resort is a master planned golf community located 45 minutes south of the San Diego-Tijuana border along the scenic toll road to Ensenada. The first Phase will include 22 “Merlot” 1,150 square-foot single-family homes that features two bedrooms and two baths. The home includes two primary bedroom suites - one on the first floor and one upstairs, as well as fairway and ocean views from a rooftop terrace. The Merlot villas will come with the installation of solar packages. The Company sold seven (7) house construction for total contractual consideration of $1,573,000 funded through seller’s carryback, of which $282,570 was collected during the nine months ended September 30 and reported under contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets. | |
| ■ | Emerald Grove Estates is the Company’s newly renovated Southern California property, used for organized events at this 8,000 square foot event venue. There was no activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Define what is or was the idea of this property. The Company acquired 80-acre Emerald Grove in 2019 for $1.1 million. In 2021, the Company sold 20-acre for sale price of $630,000. As of September 30, 2022, the Company collected $212,980 and the financed amount remains at $417,020. The Company recently listed for sale its 20-acre event venue and is currently in the process of subdividing its remaining 40-acres into 8 residential lots for total price of $3.5 million. |
| 26 |
Equity-method investment:
| ■ | Rancho Costa Verde (“RCVD”) is a 1,100-acre master planned second home, retirement home and vacation home real estate community located on the east coast of Baja California. RCV is a self-sustained solar powered green community that takes advantage of the advances in solar and other green technology. In May 2021, the Company acquired a 25% investment in RCV in exchange for $100,000 and 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and such investment was recorded as an equity-method investment in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, RCVD generated approximately $2 million in revenue for gross profit of approximately $1 million. |
Summary of key operational and financial events:
| ■ | During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company collected an aggregate amount of $282,570 from house construction at the Plaza Bajamar project resulting from the execution of seven (7) house construction contracts for total contractual consideration of $1,573,000 payable over term of 120 months. cash received from the construction contract was recorded and presented as contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets. | |
| ■ | As of September 30, 2022, the Company executed six (6) contracts for the sale of vacant plots for total contractual consideration of $270,000, of which $2,250 was collected and presented as contractual liability in the consolidated balance sheets. | |
| ■ | To avoid paying multiple title transfer fees and the extended time for each recording, the seller for both properties, Valdeland, S.A. de C.V., an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is in the process of creating a master bank trust. This will provide the Company through its Mexican’s subsidiary, International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V., the rights, and interest to each property, including buildings and improvements. As demonstrated from the Company’s Oasis Park Resort, this will also potentially allow the Company to record revenue from its Valle Divino and Plaza Bajamar projects, as sales are made and performance obligations are satisfied, and individual trusts are established for each buyer, pending further review of Mexican trust law. The Company expects to have this trust established by the end of our fourth fiscal quarter of 2022. | |
| ■ | Continued our research and marketing efforts to identify potential home buyers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Through the formation of a partnership with a similar development company in the Baja California Norte Region of Mexico, we have been able to leverage additional resources with the use of their established and proven marketing plan which can help us with sophisticated execution and the desired results for residential plot sales and development. | |
| ■ | The Company has raised $0.7 million financing through convertible promissory notes to continue the funding of its projects and for working capital. | |
| ■ | The Company executed a binding letter of intent to acquire the remaining 75% of its equity-method investment in RCVD for a total purchase price of $13.5 million through the issuance of a new series of preferred stock. | |
| ■ | The Company intends to raise up to $5 million from accredited investors under SEC Regulation D 506(c) offering to launch a new mortgage division. The majority of the funds will be allocated to finance loans to purchasers of the Company’s real estate, including home sites, home construction and finished homes, positioning itself as the first real estate developer to provide real estate financing to US citizen. This strategy is aimed at circumventing the difficulty for US citizen to obtain property financing in Mexico |

General and administrative costs decreased by $64,388 in the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in investors relation fees by approximately $111,000, offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $55,000

Net Loss

The factors that will most significantly affect future operating results will be:
| ■ | The positive effect of implemented sales and marketing initiatives to drive opportunities into our various projects. | |
| ■ | The quality of our amenities. | |
| ■ | The global economy and the demand for vacation homes. | |
| ■ | The sale price of future plots and home construction compared to the sale price in other resorts in Mexico. | |
| ■ | The prime location of our projects. |
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 $95,841 and $56,590 as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we recorded a loss of $4,331,281 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our working capital deficit as of September 30, 2022, was $5,696,934 and net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $506,041. These factors and our ability to raise additional capital to accomplish our objectives, raises substantial 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, increased construction activity and the development of current and future projects which include our current business operations.
We anticipate generating revenues over the next twelve months, as we continue to market the sale of plots held for sale at our various projects, generate cash from the sale of house construction at our properties. The above sale will trigger a corresponding revenue only when the Company obtains title of the land at Valle Divino and Plaza Bajamar, which we expect will occur in the Company’s third fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022.
If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales, the Company will continue to experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts or to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner to avoid the need to curtail its future operations.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $506,041 which resulted primarily due to the loss of $4,331,281 offset by non-cash share-based compensation of $1,281,976, fair value of equity securities issued for services of $1,310,497, amortization of debt discount of $291,374, loss from the Company’s equity-method investment of $231,845, positive change in fair value of derivative liability of $219,069 depreciation of $39,708, and net change in assets and liabilities of $532,124.
Net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $703,349 which resulted primarily due to the loss of $3,607,370 offset by non-cash share-based compensation of $2,001,021, non-cash amortization of debt discount of 284,616, an increase in accounts payable of $287,596, increase in prepaid and other current assets by $157,212 and increase in deposits by $137,980.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $444,535 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The funds were used for the development of the various projects and the purchased house construction at Plaza Bajamar and Valle Divino.
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $441,259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The funds were used for the development of the commercial agriculture at Emerald Grove resort for $100,000, cash consideration of $100,000 for the acquisition of 25% of RCV accounted for as its equity-method investment and approximately $241,000 for construction at the Company’s projects.
| 30 |
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $989,827 primarily from cash proceeds from issuance of promissory notes for aggregate amount of $663,250, cash proceeds from on-going funding from related party for aggregate amount of $677,347, offset by $262,596 repayment of related party advances, and $89,474 repayment of promissory notes.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $1,833,425 primarily from cash proceeds from issuance of promissory notes for aggregate amount of $1,052,686, net funding from refinancing of approximately $368,736, sale of common stocks of $1,804,750, exercise of warrants and options for $100,000, and offset by repayment on a promissory note of $1,492,747.
As a result of these activities, we experienced an increase in cash of $39,251 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our success in obtaining additional financing from investors or from sale of our common shares.
Critical Accounting Polices
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
During the period ended September 30, 2022, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the Certifying Officers) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) was carried out by us under the supervision and with the participation of our Certifying Officers. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers have concluded that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures, that are designed to ensure (i) that information we are required to disclose in reports that 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 (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, were not effective.
As of September 30, 2022, based on evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We will be required to expend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy the weaknesses described below. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates or that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
| ■ | inadequate internal controls relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances, and events that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting process. | |
| ■ | inadequate controls over maintenance of records. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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.
