CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Shepherd’s Finance, LLC, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” or other similar words identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this report, including without limitation, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, trends affecting the markets in which we operate, our business, financial condition and growth strategies.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: uncertainties relating to the effects of COVID-19; the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and severity of such outbreak nationally and across the globe; the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions or low levels of economic growth; the rate and the pace of economic recovery following economic downturns; and those other risks described in other risk factors as outlined in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Information presented throughout these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) is in thousands of dollars.

 

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of Business

 

Shepherd’s Finance, LLC and subsidiary (the “Company”) was originally formed as a Pennsylvania limited liability company on May 10, 2007. The Company is the sole member of a consolidating subsidiary, Shepherd’s Stable Investments, LLC. The Company operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended, by and among Daniel M. Wallach and the other members of the Company effective as of March 16, 2017, and as subsequently amended.

 

The Company extends commercial loans to residential homebuilders (in 21 states as of June 30, 2022) to:

 

  construct single family homes,
  develop undeveloped land into residential building lots, and
  purchase older homes and then rehabilitate the home for sale.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the unaudited interim condensed consolidated information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2021 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (the “2021 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2021 Financial Statements.

 

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in ASU 2016-13 introduce a new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model for certain financial assets, including mortgage loans and reinsurance receivables. The new model will not apply to debt securities classified as available-for-sale. For assets within the scope of the new model, an entity will recognize as an allowance against earnings its estimate of the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected on day one of the asset’s acquisition. The allowance may be reversed through earnings if a security recovers in value. This differs from the current impairment model, which requires recognition of credit losses when they have been incurred and recognizes a security’s subsequent recovery in value in other comprehensive income. ASU 2016-13 also makes targeted changes to the current impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, which comprise the majority of the Company’s invested assets. Similar to the CECL model, credit loss impairments will be recorded in an allowance against earnings that may be reversed for subsequent recoveries in value. The amendments in ASU 2016-13, along with related amendments in ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. For smaller reporting companies, the effective date for annual and interim periods is January 1, 2023. The Company is reviewing its policies and processes to ensure compliance with the requirements in ASU 2016-13.

8. Members’ Capital

 

There are currently two classes of equity units outstanding that the Company classifies as Members’ Capital: Class A common units (“Class A Common Units”) and Series B cumulative preferred units (“Series B Preferred Units”). As of June 30, 2022, the Class A Common Units are held by eight members, all of whom have no personal liability. All Class A common members have voting rights in proportion to their capital account. There were 2,629 Class A Common Units outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

The Series B Preferred Units were issued to the Hoskins Group through a reduction in a loan issued by the Hoskins Group to the Company. In December 2015, the Hoskins Group agreed to purchase 0.1 Series B Preferred Units for $10 at each closing of a lot to a third party in the land securing certain development loans. As of June 30, 2022, the Hoskins Group owned a total of 18.6 Series B Preferred Units, which were issued for a total of $1,860.

 

9. Related Party Transactions

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $1,250, $250, and $656 available to borrow against the line of credit from Daniel M. Wallach (our Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the board of managers) and his wife, the line of credit from the 2007 Daniel M. Wallach Legacy Trust, and the line of credit from William Myrick (our Executive Vice President), respectively. A more detailed description is included in Note 7 to the 2021 Financial Statements. These borrowings are included in notes payable secured, net of deferred financing costs on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Mr. Myrick originated one loan for approximately $24 and the Company services the loan and in return received a 5% loan fee. In addition, $653 was borrowed against the Myrick LOC to fund construction on the three loans originated by Mr. Myrick. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an additional $138 was added to the Myrick LOC.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company serviced two loans originated by Mr. Myrick for which it received a 5% loan fee and borrowed $141 against the Myrick LOC to originate and fund construction on the two such loans.

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit risk, and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $25,869 and $22,902 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

(All dollar [$] amounts shown in thousands.)

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should also be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes and other consolidated financial data (the “2021 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.

 

Overview

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company continued to focus on the reduction of non-interest earning assets. As of June 30, 2022, loans classified as non-accrual were 14 or $6,701 compared to 23 or $9,526 as of December 31, 2021. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we had two foreclosed assets or $865 compared to five or $2,724 as of December 31, 2021.

 

The Company continues to lose interest income on assets that do not accrue interest. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, the estimated loss on interest income related to impaired and foreclosed assets was $265 and $607, respectively. Looking ahead, we expect this to decrease as we continue to sell our remaining foreclosed assets and impaired loans in 2022.

 

While the Company continues to face risks as it relates to the economy and the homebuilding industry, management has decided to focus on the following during 2022:

 

  1. Decrease the amount of non-interest-bearing assets, which includes cash, our foreclosed assets, real estate assets and classified non-accrual loans or impaired loans receivables.
  2. Increase loan originations.
  3. Maintain liquidity to fund new loan originations and completion of construction costs for existing loans.
  4. Lower our cost of funds (to maintain a competitive market level).
  5. Raise margin beyond the elimination of nonperforming assets.

 

We anticipate that for the last two quarters of 2022, the housing market in most of the areas in which we do business will decline due to the impact of current economic conditions. While markets will probably weaken compared to where they were as of June 30, 2022, we anticipate losses incurred in principal related to COVID-19 will not continue, and the lower interest income due to nonperforming assets will continue to decrease in the remainder of 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021. Short term interest rates as well as mortgage interest rates are expected to continue to rise. A continued rise in short term rates is likely to benefit the company as our competitors’ rates will rise faster than ours making us more competitive, but a continued rise in long term interest rates may negatively impact the housing industry as a whole, and therefore us.

 

We had $54,085 and $46,943 in loan assets, net as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we had 226 commercial construction and 20 development loans with 60 borrowers in 21 states.

 

Net cash provided by operations increased $1,256 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. Our increase in operating cash flow was due primarily to net income and customer interest escrow. As of June 30, 2022, customer interest escrow included $500 for a Pennsylvania development loan.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

To assist in evaluating our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we describe below the critical accounting estimates that we use. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See our 2021 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, for more information on our critical accounting estimates. No material changes to our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2021 unless listed below.

 

Loan Losses

 

Fair value of collateral has the potential to impact the calculation of the loan loss provision (the amount we have expensed over time in anticipation of loan losses we have not yet realized). Specifically, relevant to the allowance for loan loss reserve is the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the outstanding loan balances. Fair value measurements are an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Due to a rapidly changing economic market, an erratic housing market, the various methods that could be used to develop fair value estimates, and the various assumptions that could be used, determining the collateral’s fair value requires significant judgment.

 

   June 30, 2022 
   Loan Loss 
   Provision 
Change in Fair Value Assumption  Higher/(Lower) 
Increasing fair value of the real estate collateral by 35%*  $- 
Decreasing fair value of the real estate collateral by 35%**  $3,105 

 

* Increases in the fair value of the real estate collateral do not impact the loan loss provision, as the value generally is not “written up.”

 

** Assumes the loans were nonperforming and a book amount of the loans outstanding of $54,085.

 

Foreclosed Assets

 

The fair value of real estate will impact our foreclosed asset value, which is recorded at 100% of fair value (after selling costs are deducted).

 

   June 30, 2022 
   Foreclosed 
   Assets 
Change in Fair Value Assumption  Higher/(Lower) 
Increasing fair value of the foreclosed asset by 35%*  $- 
Decreasing fair value of the foreclosed asset by 35%**  $303 

 

* Increases in the fair value of the foreclosed assets do not impact the carrying value, as the value generally is not “written up.” Those gains would be recognized at the sale of the asset.

 

** Assumes a book amount of the foreclosed assets of $865.

*Annualized amount as percentage of weighted average outstanding gross loan balance

 

There are three main components that can impact our interest spread:

 

Difference between the interest rate received (on our loan assets) and the interest rate paid (on our borrowings). The loans we have originated have interest rates which are based on our cost of funds, with a minimum cost of funds of 7%. For most loans, the margin is fixed at 3%; however, for our development loans the margin is generally fixed at 7%. This component is also impacted by the lending of money with no interest cost (our equity).

 

Interest income on loans increased to 13% for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 12% for the same periods of the prior year. Interest expense decreased to 8% for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 10% and 11% for the same periods of the prior year. The decrease in the interest expense is due to the lowered effective interest rate of 8.90% for the period ended June 30, 2022 compared to 9.90% for the same period of the prior year. We reduced the balance of higher rate secured debt during the period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

 

We anticipate our standard margin to be 3% on all future construction loans and generally 7% on all development loans which yields a blended margin of approximately 3.6%. In July 2022 we changed our pricing model to decrease by 0.5% our pricing on all new construction loans during their first year, and increase pricing by 2.5% on those loans at all times after that. This pricing change is anticipated to lower profit in the remaining two quarters of 2022 by approximately $18 and in the first two quarters of 2023 by $54, however we anticipate that by the fourth quarter of 2023 the pricing change will increase our profitability. If all currently owned construction loans were currently using this pricing, our profitability would increase by $425 per year.

 

Fee income. Our construction loan fee is 5% on the amount we commit to lend, which is amortized over the expected life of each loan. In addition, our development loans typically do not recognize a loan fee. When loans terminate before their expected maturity, the remaining fee is recognized at the termination of the loan. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, fee income, net was 5%.

 

Amount of nonperforming assets. Generally, two types of nonperforming assets negatively affect our interest spread: loans not paying interest and foreclosed assets.

 

20

 

 

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, construction and development loans which did not accrue interest was $6,701 and $7,614, respectively.

 

Foreclosed assets do not provide a monthly interest return. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, foreclosed assets were $865 and $2,724, respectively, which resulted in a negative impact to our interest spread in both years.

 

The amount of nonperforming assets is expected to decrease over the next quarter as we continue to liquidate nonperforming assets.

 

Loan Loss Provision

 

Loan loss provision (expense throughout the year) was $134 and $45 for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, loan loss expense was $208 and $259, respectively.

 

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2022 was $2,068 which primarily consisted of $232 for loans without specific reserves, $216 for loans with specific reserves and $1,620 for loans with specific reserves due to the impact of COVID-19.

 

As of December 31, 2021 the allowance for loan losses was $2,048 which primarily consisted of $163 for loans without specific reserves, $342 for loans with specific reserves, $60 for special mention loans and $1,483 for loans with specific reserves due to the impact of COVID-19.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred $188 and $509 in direct charge offs, respectively.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Gain on Sale of Foreclosed Assets

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $101 and $13, respectively, as a gain on the sale of foreclosed assets. We sold two and one foreclosed assets which resulted in a gain on the sale for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Gain on the sale of foreclosed assets was $101 for both six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. We sold two and five foreclosed assets which resulted in a gain on the sale for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Gain on the Extinguishment of Debt

 

During April 2020, the Company received a grant under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Emergency Advance (the “EIDL Advance”) for $10 which was used for payroll and other certain operating expenses.

 

In February 2021, the full EIDL Advance or $10 and accrued interest were forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Non-Interest Expense

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

 

The following table displays our SG&A expenses:

 

  

Three Months

Ended June 30,

  

Six Months

Ended June 30,

 
   2022   2021   2022   2021 
Legal and accounting  $33   $23   $153   $126 
Salaries and related expenses   389    119    789    328 
Board related expenses   25    25    50    50 
Advertising   42    52    62    61

Other   49    46    93    91 
Total SG&A  $713   $438   $1,410   $975 

 

Our SG&A expense increased $275 and $435 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2021, due primarily to salaries and related expense, partially offset by decreases in loan and foreclosed asset expenses. Salaries and related expenses increased $270 and $461 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due primarily to:

 

  Profit share expense was $127 and $195 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. No profit share expense was recognized during the same periods of the prior year; and
  Employee retention credit was $96 for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021. No employee retention credits were recognized in 2022.

 

Loss on the Sale of Foreclosed Assets

 

During the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0 and $51, respectively, as a loss on the sale of foreclosed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0 and $69, respectively, as a loss on the sale of foreclosed assets.

 

Impairment Loss on Foreclosed Assets

 

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 no impairment loss on foreclosed assets were recognized. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, impairment loss on foreclosed assets was $0 and $10, respectively.

Commercial Loans – Construction Loan Portfolio Summary

 

We anticipate that the aggregate balance of our construction loan portfolio will increase during the third quarter of 2022 because: 1) Payoffs are slowing as builders sales are slowing some, 2) housing starts are down which should reduce competition between builders for labor and should allow for faster construction which will initially increase the balances, and 3) we had strong originations in the first two quarters of 2022 and those loans will be growing in balance during the third quarter.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Mr. Myrick originated one loan for approximately $24 and the Company services the loan and in return received a 5% loan fee. In addition, $653 was borrowed against the Myrick LOC to fund construction on the three loans originated by Mr. Myrick. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an additional $138 was added to the Myrick LOC.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company serviced two loans originated by Mr. Myrick for which it received a 5% loan fee and borrowed $141 against the Myrick LOC to originate and fund construction on the two such loans.

Redeemable Preferred Equity and Members’ Capital

 

We strive to maintain a reasonable (about 15%) balance between (1) redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital and (2) total assets. The ratio of redeemable preferred equity plus members’ capital to total assets was 14% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We anticipate this ratio to increase as more earnings are retained in 2022 and some additional preferred equity may be added.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary liquidity management objective is to meet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and customers. We had 246 and 239 combined loans outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Gross loans receivable totaled $58,348 and $50,763 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $25,869 and $22,902 as June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

32

 

 

We anticipate an increase in our gross loan receivables over the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2022 by directly increasing originations to new and existing customers, and a slowing in payoffs due to housing market cooling.

 

To fund our combined loans, we rely on secured debt, unsecured debt, equity and cash which are described in the following table:

 

Source of Liquidity 

As of

June 30, 2022

  

As of

December 31, 2021

 
Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs  $22,388   $20,016 
Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs   26,302    27,713 
Equity*   7,409    6,604 
Cash   1,126    3,735 

 

*Equity includes Members’ Capital and Redeemable Preferred Equity.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash was $1,126 and $3,735, respectively.

 

Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $2,372 to $22,388 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $20,016 for the year ended December 31, 2021 which was primarily related to borrowings on our purchase and sale agreements. We anticipate secured debt to increase as our loan receivable balances increase.

 

Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs decreased $1,411 to $26,302 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $27,713 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in unsecured debt primarily related to repayment of unsecured notes at maturity, those notes sold outside of our Notes Program.

 

Equity increased $805 to $7,409 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $6,604 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due primarily to earned but not paid distributions of Series C preferred equity holders. In addition, investments in Series C increased $200.

 

We anticipate an increase in our equity during the 12 months subsequent to June 30, 2022, through retaining earnings. If we are not able to increase our equity through retained earnings, we will rely more heavily on raising additional funds through the Notes Program.

 

The total amount of our debt maturing through year ending December 31, 2022 is $25,564, which consists of secured borrowings of $21,592 and unsecured borrowings of $3,972.

 

Secured borrowings maturing through the year ending December 31, 2022 primarily consists of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance and S. K. Funding) and six lenders. These secured borrowings are listed as maturing over the next 12 months due to their related demand loan collateral. The following are secured facilities listed as maturing in 2022 with actual maturity and renewal dates:

 

  Swanson – $7,000 due October 2023 and automatically renews unless notice given;
  Shuman – $125 due July 2023 and automatically renews unless notice is given;
  S. K. Funding – $4,500 due January 2023 and automatically renews unless notice is given;
  S. K. Funding – $1,800 of the total due January 2023 and automatically renews unless notice is given;
  Builder Finance, Inc – $4,905 with no expiration date;
  New LOC Agreements - $2,909 due generally with one-month notice and six months to reduce principal balance to zero;
  Myrick LOC - $344 due upon demand; and
  Mortgage Payable – $10 due monthly.

 

33

 

 

Unsecured borrowings due by December 31, 2022 consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $3,269 and $703, respectively. To the extent that Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program are not reinvested upon maturity, we will be required to fund the maturities, which we anticipate funding through the issuance of new Notes in our Notes Program. Historically, approximately 74% of our Note holders reinvest upon maturity. The 36 month Note in our Notes program has a mandatory early redemption option, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2022, outstanding 36-month Notes totaled $385. Our other unsecured debt historically renews. For more information on other unsecured borrowings, see Note 7 – Borrowings. If other unsecured borrowings are not renewed in the future, we anticipate funding such maturities through investments in our Notes Program.

 

Summary

 

We have the funding available to address the loans we have today, including our unfunded commitments. We anticipate growing our assets through the net sources and uses (12-month liquidity) listed above as well as future capital increases from debt, redeemable preferred equity, and regular equity. Our expectation to grow loan asset balances is subject to changes due to changes in demand, competition, and the economy. Although our secured debt is almost entirely listed as currently due because of the underlying collateral being demand notes, the vast majority of our secured debt is either contractually set to automatically renew unless notice is given or, in the case of purchase and sale agreements, has no end date as to when the purchasers will not purchase new loans (although they are never required to purchase additional loans).

 

Inflation, Interest Rates, and Housing Starts

 

Since we are in the housing industry, we are affected by factors that impact that industry. Housing starts impact our customers’ ability to sell their homes. Faster sales generally mean higher effective interest rates for us, as the recognition of fees we charge is spread over a shorter period. Slower sales generally mean lower effective interest rates for us. Slower sales also are likely to increase the default rate we experience.

 

Housing inflation has a positive impact on our operations. When we lend initially, we are lending a percentage of a home’s expected value, based on historical sales. If those estimates prove to be low (in an inflationary market), the percentage we loaned of the value actually decreases, reducing potential losses on defaulted loans. The opposite is true in a deflationary housing price market. It is our opinion that values are well above average in many of the housing markets in the U.S. today, and our lending against these values is having more risk than prior years. In some of our markets, prices of sold homes are dropping. This is both because some homes are selling for less and because the average home selling is smaller (more affordable).

 

Interest rates have several impacts on our business. First, rates affect housing (starts, home size, etc.). High long-term interest rates may decrease housing starts, having the effects listed above. We can see this impact now as housing starts recently dropped by 20%. Higher interest rates will also affect our investors. We believe that there will be a spread between the rate our Notes yield to our investors and the rates the same investors could get on deposits at FDIC insured institutions. We also believe that the spread may need to widen if these rates rise. For instance, if we pay 7% above average CD rates when CDs are paying 0.5%, when CDs are paying 3%, we may have to have a larger than 7% difference. This may cause our lending rates, which are based on our cost of funds, to be uncompetitive. While the prime rate and fed funds rate have increased significantly in 2022, the CD rates, while increasing, have not increased as much. High interest rates may also increase builder defaults, as interest payments may become a higher portion of operating costs for the builder. Below is a chart showing three-year U.S. treasury rates and 30-year fixed mortgage rates. The U.S. treasury rates, are used by us here to approximate CD rates, however in the current environment, this is less accurate than in most years. Both the short- and long-term interest rates have risen slightly but are generally low historically.

 

34

 

 

 

Housing prices are also generally correlated with housing starts, so that increases in housing starts usually coincide with increases in housing values, and the reverse is generally true. Below is a graph showing single family housing starts from 2000 through today.

To date, changes in housing starts, CD rates, and inflation have not had a material impact on our business.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, other than unfunded loan commitments, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.
