Item 1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this semi-annual report.

 

Background and Overview

 

Worthy Peer Capital II, Inc., a Florida corporation, (the “Company,” “WPC”, “we,” or “us”) was founded in October of 2019. Also, in October 2019, the Company organized Worthy Lending II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as a wholly owned subsidiary. Through our wholly owned subsidiary Worthy Lending II, LLC (“WL II”), we make primarily secured loans, typically to small and mid-size business borrowers. We sell our Worthy Bonds in $10.00 increments, until the maximum number of SEC qualified bonds are sold out, directly through our Worthy Peer Capital II website via computer or the Worthy App., to fund our loans to small and mid-size business borrowers.

 

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Worthy Financial, Inc. (“WFI”), or “Worthy Financial” which owns a mobile app (the “Worthy App”) that allows its users to round up their debit card and checking account linked credit card purchases and other checking account transactions and thereafter use the “round up” dollars in increments of $10.00 to purchase Worthy Bonds. The “users” may also use additional funds to purchase Worthy Bonds. WFI also owns the technology on the website. This technology is defined as the “Worthy Technology Platform.”

 

On March 17, 2020, we began the Offering of $50 million aggregate principal of Worthy II Bonds (the “Worthy II Bonds”) under our qualified Offering Statement (File No. 024-11150). On October 1, 2020, we completed the Offering. From March 17, 2020 through October 1, 2020, we sold approximately $50 million aggregate principal amount of Worthy II Bonds to 17,823 investors.

 

Our business model is centered around participating in and providing loans for small and mid-size businesses, including loans to manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of, and to prospective purchasers of specified merchandise and services secured by the assets of the borrowers. To a lesser extent we may also provide (i) secured loans to other borrowers; (ii) acquire mortgages or equity interests in real estate; (iii) make fixed income and/or equity investments; and (iv) and other types of loans, provided the amount and nature of such activities do not cause us to lose our exemption from regulations as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

Loans Receivable

 

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary WL II, loans funds to borrowers under loan agreements, with small and mid-size business borrowers based in the United States. The loans pay interest at varying rates ranging from approximately 6.8% to 18% per year, and one short term loan with an interest rate of 3% per month. The term of the loans generally range from six months to two years, with no prepayment penalty and generally pay interest only until maturity. The loans are secured by the assets of the borrowers.

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

 

Each mortgage loan is secured by a mortgage on the real estate, which is located in the state of Florida. Each loan has a maturity date of 2 years, except for one which has a maturity date of 42 months, and mature on various dates ranging between October of 2022 and March of 2024. These loans pay interest at rates between 9% and 10% and are serviced by an outside, unrelated party. There were no mortgage loans past due or on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

 

These loans were funded by our bond sales.

 

A summary of the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2022, disaggregated by class of financing receivable, are as follows:

Recent Developments

 

Covid 19 Pandemic Impact

 

The Company’s operations have been and may continue to be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Ongoing disruptions which may be caused by new waves of the pandemic, or new variants of the virus, are uncertain and they may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows.

 

Possible areas that may be affected by potential new waves or variants include, but are not limited to, higher redemption rate of holders of the Worthy II Bonds, a decline in the demand for loans by potential borrowers or higher default rates by borrowers, and unavailability of professional services and other resources. In addition, the employees of affiliated companies that provide services to us could be medically or mentally affected by the pandemic and may be required to work remotely. This situation could cause a reduction in productivity or the inability to complete critical tasks for the Company.

 

The entire actual effects of the spread of COVID-19, including variants of the original virus, are difficult to assess at this time as the actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of the Company. However, the spread of COVID-19, if it continues, may cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and therefore may materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company has experienced an impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including payment terms in several loans that have been modified to accommodate COVID-19 related issues experienced by our borrowers.

 

In March and April of 2020 due to the events surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, the Company experienced much higher than usual bond redemptions.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated net losses and had cash used in operations of approximately $1,682,000 and $1,124,000, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, we had a shareholder’s deficit and accumulated deficit of approximately $4,518,000 and $4,587,000, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. During 2022, the Company continues to incur losses.

 

In response to the losses incurred, the Company continues to constantly evaluate and monitor its cash needs and existing cash burn rate, in order to make adjustments to its operating expenses. Cash on hand was approximately $2,315,000 at September 30, 2022. This cash was obtained through the sale of our Worthy Bonds and through interest, dividends and fees earned on our loans and investments.

 

 

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve success without seeking additional financing. There also can be no assurances that any additional financing if required, can be obtained, or obtained on reasonable terms acceptable to the Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Operating Results

 

Interest on loans receivable

 

Interest on loans receivable for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was $406,702, compared to $1,205,557 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $798,855 from the six months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was due to a significant decrease in the loans receivable balance during the six month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, our loans receivable held for investment, net balance was $9,006,742, which was a decrease of approximately $5,500,000 from the balance of $14,538,335 at September 30, 2021.

 

Loan fees

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2022, loan fees totaled $12,931 as compared to $2,446 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, this is an $10,485 increase.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Interest expense on bonds

 

Interest expense on bonds for the six month period ended September 30, 2022 was $552,354, a decrease of $185,383 from the six month period ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense on bonds for the six month period ended September 30, 2021 was $737,737. The decrease was the direct result of the decrease in outstanding bond liabilities at September 30,2022 versus March 31, 2022. Bonds outstanding were $17,462,995 at September 30, 2022 versus $21,568,820 at March 31, 2022.

 

Provision for loan losses

 

The provision for loan losses for the six months ended September 30, 2022 is $465,930 as compared to $110,230 for the six months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Operating Expenses

 

As a result of the Worthy II Bonds selling out in October of 2020, which significantly reduced related operating expenses, and the organization of a new WFI subsidiary which resulted in the reallocation of shared expenses, our operating expenses decreased substantially in the six months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2020. As a result of continuing bond redemptions and the pay downs of loans receivable our operating expenses continued to decrease in the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

This decrease is primarily attributable to decreases of approximately $2,000 in sales and marketing expenses, approximately $88,000 in compensation and related costs, approximately $8,000 in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is directly related to bonds being sold out in October 2020, as sales and marketing is primarily to support bond sales. The decrease in compensation and related expenses and general and administrative expenses is also the result of having nine months without an active bond offering.

 

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Realized and Unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 our net unrealized gains (losses) on investments net of gains were $4,946 and ($97,095), respectively. Unrealized gains on available for sale debt securities, which is recorded as other comprehensive income, was $179,471 and $110,036 for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Interest and Dividends

 

Interest and Dividends on Investments for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was $134,952 as compared to $88,161 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, this $46,791 increase was the direct result of significantly increasing our investment portfolio, beginning in February of 2022 and earning more interest and dividends in 2022, before significantly reducing our investment portfolio in September of 2022.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2022, we had total shareholder’s deficit of approximately $4,518,000 as compared to a total shareholder’s deficit of approximately $3,015,000 at March 31, 2022.

 

Our total assets decreased by approximately $5,548,000 at September 30, 2022 as compared to March 31, 2022, which principally reflects approximately $2,315,00 cash on hand at September 30, 2022 as compared to approximately $5,338,000 of cash on hand at March 31, 2022, approximately $954,000 of investments at September 30, 2022 as compared to approximately $8,916,000 at March 31, 2022 and approximately $9,007,000 of loans receivable as compared to approximately $4,059,000 at March 31, 2022.

 

We do not have any commitments for capital expenditures.

 

Our consolidated shareholders’ deficit and working capital deficiency are the result of initial and early-stage operating expenses and operating sales of bonds (a liability) at a more rapid pace than the proceeds from the sale of bonds could be effectively invested in income generating loans and investments. These deficiencies are also the result of an increase to our loan loss provision. The combination of interest payable on the bonds, initial startup costs and operating expenses initially generate working capital deficit.

 

To date, the working capital deficit has been funded by capital infusions to the Company, from its parent (WFI), through funds raised by the parent in a variety of equity, debt, and convertible debt financings. One of the primary uses of proceeds of a pending offering by the parent company is to provide additional capital to the Company and to reduce or eliminate the shareholders’ deficit.

 

Summary of cash flows

 

		Six Months Ended September 30, 2022				Six Months Ended September 30, 2021
Net cash (used) in provided by operating activities		$	(1,124,260	)		$	402,472

Significant accounting policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Semi-Annual Report, and we believe those accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US-GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, assessing the collectability of loans and interest receivable, due from related parties, valuation of investments, the useful lives of property and equipment, the estimate of the fair value of the lease liability and related right of use asset, the estimate of our internal labor based loan origination costs and estimates of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC 942 “Financial Services – Depository Lending.”

 

We generate revenue primarily through interest earned, loan origination fees and collateral management fees for monitoring the underlying collateral related to the loan.

 

For term loans, we recognize interest income, loan fee income and collateral management fee income over the terms of the underlying loans. Loan fees and collateral management fees are reflected as non-interest income in our statements of operations.

 

Loan origination fees typically include due diligence, appraisal and legal fees. Associated costs primarily include costs directly related to evaluating the financial performance of the prospective borrower, preparing and processing loan documentation, employees’ compensation directly related to the loan and costs paid to third parties for legal and appraisal services. The fees and the costs are netted as deferred revenue and amortized into revenue over the life of the loan.

 

We also generate revenue through interest and dividends on investments and realized and unrealized gains on investments, which is all included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include checking, savings, unrestricted deposits with investment-grade financial institutions, institutional money market funds, certificates of deposit and other short term interest bearing products. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Investments

 

At inception the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments – Overall” which requires unrealized gains and losses from marketable equity securities to be recognized in operations.

 

Investments consist of various debt and equity investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. Investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, not accounted for under the equity method, are recorded at that value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, the investment is recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments related to observable transactions for the same or similar securities, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Equity securities where the fair market value or net asset value are not available are carried at cost, subject to impairment valuation. The Company classifies certain of its debt investments as available-for-sale pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity, at unamortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet if (i) the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments for a period of at least 1 year and (ii) the contractual maturity date of the investments is greater than 1 year. Debt securities available for sale are carried at fair value or amortized cost and unrealized gains or losses are recorded as other comprehensive income or loss in equity. Debt securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and unamortized gains and losses are not recognized. Realized gains and losses are included in other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income on a specific-identification basis.

 

 

As a result of the amendments in ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the impairment model is no longer based on an impairment being other-than-temporary. We regularly review investment securities for impairment. For debt securities, if we do not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost, we evaluate qualitative criteria, such as the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, to determine whether we do not expect to recover the amortized cost basis of the security.

 

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

 

Loans held for investment consist of term loans that require monthly or weekly interest payments. We have both the ability and intent to hold these loans to maturity. When we originate a term loan, the borrower grants us a security interest in its assets which we may perfect by publicly filing a financing statement. Loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost, reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses estimated as of the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

 

Mortgage loans held for investment consist of loans secured by a mortgage in the real estate, and is located in the state of Florida. These loans typically have a maturity date of 1 to 2 years, pay interest at rates between 8.5% and 10.5% and are serviced by an outside, unrelated party. These loans require monthly interest payments to us. We have both the ability and intent to hold these loans to maturity. These loans are carried at amortized cost, reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses, if deemed necessary, estimated as of the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

 

In accordance with ASC 360-20-30-5A, the Company includes, in the reserves for loans receivable an amount attributed to accrued interest receivable.

 

In accordance with ASC 360-20-35-8A, the Company has an accounting policy election, at the class of financing receivable, to write off accrued interest receivables by recognizing credit loss expense.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) is established with respect to our loans held for investment through charges to the provision for loan losses in compliance with ASC 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” Loan losses are charged against the ALLL when we believe that the future collection of principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL. We evaluate the creditworthiness of our portfolio on an individual loan basis and on a portfolio basis. The allowance is subjective as it requires material estimates, including such factors as historical trends, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay and current economic conditions. Other qualitative factors considered may include items such as uncertainties in forecasting and modeling techniques, changes in portfolio composition, business conditions and emerging trends. Recovery of the carrying value of loans is dependent to a great extent on conditions that may be beyond our control. Any combination of the aforementioned factors may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies and loan losses and could require additional provisions for loan losses, which could impact future periods.

 

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans Receivable

 

Loans receivable are considered past due when a borrower hasn’t made a principal or interest payment for 90 days. The Company considers a loan to be non-performing and put on non-accrual status when management believes collectability is not probable.

 

Management predicts probability of collectability through qualitative and quantitative criteria, including whether the loan is in past due status, borrower financial condition including net collateral to loan balance, personal or corporate validity or other guarantees, our experience with the borrower, quality of borrower internal credit review system, quality of borrower management, and external operating environment.

 

When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, we cease accruing interest and a reserve on interest receivable is established.

WORTHY PEER CAPITAL II, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2022 AND 2021

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Worthy Peer Capital II, Inc., a Florida corporation, (the “Company,” “WPC”, “we,” or “us”) was founded in October of 2019. Also, in October 2019, the Company organized Worthy Lending II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as a wholly owned subsidiary. Through our wholly owned subsidiary Worthy Lending II, LLC (“WL II”), we make primarily secured loans, typically to small and mid-size business borrowers. We sell our Worthy Bonds in $10.00 increments, until the maximum number of SEC qualified bonds are sold out, directly through our Worthy Peer Capital II website via computer or the Worthy App., to fund our loans to small and mid-size business borrowers.

 

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Worthy Financial, Inc. (“WFI”, or “Worthy Financial”) which owns a mobile app (the “Worthy App”) that allows its users to round up their debit card and checking account linked credit card purchases and other checking account transactions and thereafter use the “round up” dollars in increments of $10.00 to purchase Worthy Bonds. The “users” may also use additional funds to purchase Worthy Bonds. WFI also owns the technology on the website. This technology is defined as the “Worthy Technology Platform.”

 

The Company’s year-end is March 31^st.

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated net losses and had cash used in operations of approximately $1,682,000 and $1,124,000, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022 we had a shareholder’s deficit and accumulated deficit of approximately $4,518,000 and $4,587,000, respectively, and total liabilities exceeded total assets by approximately $4,518,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. During Fiscal 2023, the Company continues to incur losses.

 

In response to the losses incurred in fiscal year 2022 and 2021, the Company continues to constantly evaluate and monitor its cash needs and existing cash burn rate, in order to make adjustments to its operating expenses. Also, in our second fiscal quarter of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s loans receivable and investments began to generate revenue. Cash on hand was approximately $2,315,000 at September 30, 2022. This cash was obtained through the sale of our Worthy Bonds and the collection of interest and dividends on our outstanding loans and investments.

 

No assurances can be given that the Company will achieve success, without seeking additional financing. There also can be no assurances that any additional financing if required, can be obtained, or obtained on reasonable terms acceptable to the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Worthy Lending II, LLC.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

WORTHY PEER CAPITAL II, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2022 AND 2021

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US-GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, assessing the collectability of loans and interest receivable, due to/from affiliate, valuation of investments held, the estimate of our internal labor based loan origination costs and estimates of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include checking, savings, unrestricted deposits with investment-grade financial institutions, institutional money market funds, certificates of deposit and other short term interest bearing products.

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments and businesses around the world have taken unprecedented actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic impacts of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets. Many of our small business borrowers have been directly or indirectly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the closures and reduced customer demand. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact many of our small business borrowers. In March and April of 2020 due to the events surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, the Company experienced much higher than usual bond redemptions. We have included the COVID-19 impacts as part of our calculation of the allowance for credit losses. While the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s future results will depend on future developments, the pandemic and associated economic impacts could result in a material impact to the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, loans and mortgage loans receivable, interest receivable, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest, due to/from affiliate and bond liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to the length of maturity of these instruments.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, we use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets or liabilities in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities for which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques, which incorporate our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation.

Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include equity securities mainly common stock and exchange-traded and closed-end funds, and our debt securities mainly corporate and asset backed securities, all of which are classified as level 1.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Investments

 

At inception the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments – Overall” which requires unrealized gains and losses from marketable equity securities to be recognized in operations.

 

Investments consist of various debt and equity investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. Investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, not accounted for under the equity method, are recorded at that value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, the investment is recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments related to observable transactions for the same or similar securities, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Equity securities where the fair market value or net asset value are not available are carried at cost, subject to impairment valuation. The Company classifies certain of its debt investments as available-for-sale pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity, at unamortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet if (i) the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments for a period of at least 1 year and (ii) the contractual maturity date of the investments is greater than 1 year. Debt securities available for sale are carried at fair value or amortized cost and unrealized gains or losses are recorded as other comprehensive income or loss in equity. Debt securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and unamortized gains and losses are not recognized. Realized gains and losses are included in other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income on a specific-identification basis.

 

As a result of the amendments in ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the impairment model is no longer based on an impairment being other-than-temporary. We regularly review investment securities for impairment. For det securities, if we do not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost, we evaluate qualitative criteria, such as the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, to determine whether we do not expect to recover the amortized cost basis of the security.

 

 

WORTHY PEER CAPITAL II, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2022 AND 2021

 

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

 

Loans held for investment consist of term loans that require monthly or weekly interest payments. We have both the ability and intent to hold these loans to maturity. When we originate a term loan, the borrower grants us a security interest in its assets which we may perfect by publicly filing a financing statement. Loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost, reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses estimated as of the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

 

Mortgage loans held for investment consist of loans secured by a mortgage in the real estate which is located in the state of Florida. These loans have a maturity date of 1 to 2 years, pay interest at rates between 9% and 10% and are serviced by an outside unrelated party. These loans require monthly interest payments to us. We have both the ability and intent to hold these loans to maturity. These loans are carried at amortized cost, reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses, if deemed necessary, estimated as of the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

 

In accordance with ASC 360-20-30-5A, the Company includes, in the allowance for loan losses an amount attributed to accrued interest receivable.

 

In accordance with ASC 360-20-35-8A, the Company has an accounting policy election, at the class of financing receivable, to write off accrued interest receivables by recognizing credit loss expense.

 

Loan Origination Fees and Cost

 

Loan Fees, when applicable, are charged to the borrowers during loan originations. These fees are offset against related loan costs incurred by the Company and then deferred as deferred revenue to be recognized as loan fee revenues over the term of the loan. Direct loan origination costs include but are not limited to costs directly related to evaluating the financial performance of the prospective borrower, preparing and processing loan documentation and employees’ compensation directly related to the loan.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) is established with respect to our loans receivable and mortgage loans held for investment and through charges to the provision for loan losses in compliance with ASC 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” Loan losses are charged against the ALLL when we believe that the future collection of principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL. We evaluate the creditworthiness of our portfolio on an individual loan basis and on a portfolio basis. The allowance is subjective as it requires material estimates, including such factors as historical trends, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay and current economic conditions. Other qualitative factors considered may include items such as uncertainties in forecasting and modeling techniques, changes in portfolio composition, business conditions and emerging trends. Recovery of the carrying value of loans is dependent to a great extent on conditions that may be beyond our control. Any combination of the aforementioned factors may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies and loan losses and could require additional provisions for loan losses, which could impact future periods.

 

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans Receivable

 

Loans receivable are considered past due when a borrower hasn’t made a principal or interest payment for 90 days. The Company considers a loan to be non-performing and put on non-accrual status when management believes collectability is not probable. Management predicts probability of collectability through qualitative and quantitative criteria, including whether the loan is in past due status, borrower financial condition including net collateral to loan balance, personal or corporate validity or other guarantees, our experience with the borrower, quality of borrower internal credit review system, quality of borrower management, and external operating environment. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, we cease accruing interest and a reserve on interest receivable is established.

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC 942 “Financial Services – Depository Lending”.

 

We generate revenue primarily through loan interest earned, and to a much lesser extent loan origination fees and collateral management fees for monitoring the underlying collateral related to the loan.

 

For term loans, we recognize interest income, loan origination fee income and collateral management fee income over the terms of the underlying loans. Loan origination fees and collateral management fees are reflected as loan fee income in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

 

Loan origination fees typically include due diligence, appraisal and legal fees. Associated costs primarily include costs directly related to evaluating the financial performance of the prospective borrower, preparing and processing loan documentation, employees’ compensation directly related to the loan and costs paid to third parties for legal and appraisal services. The fees and the costs are netted as deferred revenue and amortized into revenue over the life of the loan.

 

We also generate revenue through interest and dividends on investments and realized and unrealized gains on investments, which is all included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Allocation of expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Company

 

During 2022 and 2021, costs incurred by our affiliate Worthy Management, Inc. (WM) have been allocated to the Company for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification is not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method which allocates expenses based upon the percentage of employee time expended on the Company’s business as compared to total employee time. The proportional use basis was adopted to allocate shared costs is in accordance with the guidance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1B, Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity. Management has determined that the method of allocating costs to the Company is reasonable.

 

Management believes that the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) in 2022 and 2021 include a reasonable allocation of costs and expenses incurred by the Company. However, such amounts may not be indicative of the actual level of costs and expenses that would have been incurred by the Company if it had operated as an independent company or of the costs and expenses expected to be incurred in the future.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws.

 

Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which they operate, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax- planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of Topic 740.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As required by the relevant guidance, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would, more likely than not, sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company has applied the guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.

The Company is included with its parent company (Worthy Financial Inc.) consolidated tax return. The parent company consolidated tax returns for the years 2020, 2021 & 2022 remain open for audit by the IRS.

 

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive debt or equity at September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

NOTE 4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Accounting standards promulgated by the FASB are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on the Company’s future financial statements.

 

The Company periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Although some of these accounting standards may be applicable to the Company, the Company has not identified any other new standards that it believes merit further discussion, and the Company expects that none would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS

 

The Company maintains a portfolio of investments on its consolidated balance sheet which consist of securities held at fair value or original cost basis securities. Fair value includes gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, accrued interest and amortized cost. The Company typically invests in a diversified portfolio. The Company’s investment policy is intended to mitigate risk and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and targets 20% portfolio weight in the more conservative investments.

 

The following is a breakdown of the investments as of March 31, 2022:
