Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q)

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 consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report and with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes and other consolidated financial data (the "2025 Financial Statements") included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). See also "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" preceding Part I.

Overview

As of June 30, 2026, the Company's portfolio consisted of 182 construction loans with 51 borrowers and 15 development loans with 14 borrowers in 20 states.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to focus on the reduction of non-interest earning assets. As of June 30, 2026, 22 loans were classified as individually evaluated with a net loan receivables balance of $4,500 compared to 29 loans and $6,192 as of December 31, 2025. In addition, as of June 30, 2026, we had three assets with a net foreclosed asset balance of $586 compared to one and $499 as of December 31, 2025.

The estimated loss on interest income resulting from non-interest earning assets for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $152 and $300 compared to $252 and $504 for the same periods of 2025, respectively. Looking ahead, we expect the balance of non-interest earnings to remain somewhat consistent.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company's gross loan receivables balance increased by $15,751 to $77,434 as compared to $61,683 as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the total committed amount (not necessarily funded) increased by $42,256 to $110,687 compared to $68,431, as of June 30, 2025. The increase in June 2026 includes $11,500 commitment related to one development loan which originated in August 2025. In addition, the increases in balances relate both to an increase in loan originations and a slowing of payoffs. Originations are higher due to changes in our sales and marketing efforts, and the slowing of payoffs is likely related to regional and national economic issues, including but not limited to: long term mortgage rates for our customers' customers, soft home sales in certain regions, declining home values in certain regions and price ranges, and unwillingness of our borrowers to lower their prices to market.

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 the remainder of 2026 and the beginning of 2027:

1. Continue to manage the balance of non-interest-bearing assets, which includes foreclosed real estate and individually evaluated assets.
2. Control SG&A expenses.
3. Maintain gross margin prior to loan loss.
4. Maintain liquidity at a level sufficient for loan originations.
5. Manage loan loss and impairment expense.
6. Increase originations and loan balances.

While some geographic markets are seeing some declines in pricing at certain price levels, generally we are not seeing reductions in selling prices as something that is creating losses for us. There is still a housing shortage, and many homeowners are not moving out of their sub 3% interest rates. The starter market and high-end market seem to be strong in most geographic locations, while the middle market seems to be weak. Mortgage interest rates for homeowners have slightly increased back up from recent lows late last year. Mortgage interest rates impact the middle market more than the higher and lower markets.

Net cash provided by operations increased $1,794 to $2,664 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025. The increase in operating cash flow was due primarily to accrued interest payable.

Critical Accounting Estimates

To assist in evaluating our interim 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 2025 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, 2025, unless listed below.

Credit 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.

Change in Fair Value Assumption June 30, 2026
Loan Loss
Provision
Higher/(Lower)
Increasing fair value of the real estate collateral by 35%* $ -
Decreasing fair value of the real estate collateral by 35%** $ 8,004

* 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 non-performing and a book amount of the loan assets of $73,831.

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).

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

Primarily three main components impact our interest spread:

Difference between the interest rate received (on our loan assets) and the interest rate paid (on our borrowings). Our loan originations include interest rates which are based on our cost of funds, with a minimum rate of 10.25%. Primarily, the margin is fixed at 2.5%; 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 (common equity). For both the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, interest income on loans was 15%.

We anticipate our standard margin to be 2.5% on all future construction loans and generally 7% on all development loans, which yields a blended margin of approximately 3.5%. This 2.5% margin may increase because some customers run past the standard repayment time and pay a higher rate of interest after that.

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. When loans terminate before their expected life, the remaining fee is recognized at that time.

Fee income on loans before deferred loan fee adjustments was 6% for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Amount of non-performing assets. Generally, two types of non-performing assets negatively affect our interest spread which are individually evaluated loans and foreclosed assets.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had 22 individually evaluated loans, net of reserves of $4,500 and 29 individually evaluated loans, net of reserves of $6,192 that were not paying interest, respectively.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, foreclosed assets, net of reserves were $586 and $499, respectively, which resulted in a negative impact to our interest spread.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses (expense throughout the period) was $744 and $994 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. During the quarter and six months ended June 30,2025 the Company had a credit of $13 and expense of $120, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $2,059 and $1,113, respectively. The increase in the allowance for credit losses is due to the increase in originations and increase in individually evaluated allowances. As of June 30, 2026, the allowance on individually evaluated loans increased to $1,580 compared to $745 as of December 31, 2025. The Company believes it has properly reserved for all foreclosed and individually evaluated loans.

Non-Interest Income

Revenue from the Sale of Land Parcels

Revenue from the sale of land parcels was $0 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $968 and $2,805 during the quarters ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Option Fee Income

Option fee income was $0 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $120 and $274 during the quarters ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Other Income

During the quarters ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, we consulted for several of our construction and development loan customers, which included accounting guidance. Other income related to our consulting fees were $55 and $54 for the quarters ended and $142 and $101 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We anticipate continuing our consulting services to our customers on an as needed basis during 2026.

Non-Interest Expense

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

The following table displays SG&A expenses:

Six Months

Ended

June 30, 2026

Six Months

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Legal and accounting $ 194 $ 239
Salaries and related expenses 1,335 1,137
Board related expenses 60 54
Advertising 69 69
Rent and utilities 33 41
Loan and foreclosed asset expenses 83 29
Travel 94 123
Other 120 202
Total SG&A $ 1,990 $ 1,894

Our SG&A expense increased $96 to $1,990 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025. The change in SG&A was primarily due to higher salaries and related expenses, which were slightly offset by lower legal and accounting fees. The increase in salaries and related expenses related to additional employees hired during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, which resulted in higher compensation costs during the first six months of 2026.

Loss on Real Estate Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold one real estate investment, which resulted in a loss of $3. No loss on real estate investments was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Loss on Foreclosed Assets

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we transferred one and three loan receivable assets to foreclosed assets, respectively. Losses on foreclosed assets were $75 and $4 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Losses on foreclosed assets were $81 and $19 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company modifies loans for borrowers for various reasons, including but not limited to changes in what the builder is building versus what was appraised, changes in loan-to-value ("LTV") or market conditions, and a builder's inability to pay interest. This last grouping (builder's inability to pay interest) is done through forbearance agreements which will allow the builder to have a specified period not to pay interest while the home is either completed or marketed. Typically, those interest amounts are collected at final payoff of the loan.

Segment Reporting

Effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed their reportable segments to a single reportable segment. Following the sale of 339 Justabout Land Company on August 6, 2025, which was a reportable segment of the Company, the Company no longer has any separately reportable segments.

The Company's one reportable segment generates income principally from interest on loans, as well as from fees charged in connection with various lending services. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer, who for the purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, and allocating Company resources, regularly reviews net income as reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The level of disaggregation and amounts of significant segment income and expenses, such as interest and fee income, interest expense, provision for credit losses, salaries and employee benefits expense and other items, that are regularly provided to the CODM are the same as those presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Likewise, the measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

Information about reportable segments, and reconciliations of such information to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary liquidity management objective is to meet expected cash flow needs while continuing to service our business and customers. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had combined loans outstanding of 197 and 161, respectively. In addition, loans receivables, gross were $77,434 and $61,683 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Unfunded commitments to extend credit, which have similar collateral, credit and market risk to our outstanding loans, were $33,254 and $23,557 as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. For off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the estimate of expected credit losses has been presented as a liability on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. Other than unfunded commitments, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, nor do we currently have any such arrangements or obligations.

We anticipate the Company's originations to be higher in 2026 due to an increase in marketing and sales efforts.

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

Source of Liquidity

As of

June 30, 2026

As of

December 31, 2025

Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs $ 28,010 $ 18,445
Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs $ 40,523 $ 35,774
Members' Capital $ 8,884 $ 8,211
Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,316 $ 6,015

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $5,316 and $6,015, respectively.

Secured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $9,565 to $28,010 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $18,445 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in secured debt was due primarily to borrowings to partially fund our increase in loan assets.

Unsecured debt, net of deferred financing costs increased $4,749 to $40,523 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $35,774 as of December 31, 2025. The increase in unsecured debt was due primarily to borrowings to partially fund our increase in loan assets.

Members' Capital increased $673 to $8,884 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $8,211 as of December 31, 2025.

We anticipate equity to increase during the last six months of 2026, mostly through retained earnings. If we cannot maintain our equity, we will rely more heavily on raising additional funds through the Notes Program.

The total amount of our debt maturing as of June 30, 2026 is $32,145 which consists of secured borrowings of $25,021 and unsecured borrowings of $7,124.

Secured borrowings maturing as of June 30, 2026 significantly consists of loan purchase and sale agreements with two loan purchasers (Builder Finance and S. K. Funding) and secured lines of credit with several lenders. These secured borrowings are listed as maturing over the next 12 months due primarily to their related demand loan collateral.

The following are secured facilities listed as principal maturing in 2026 with actual maturity and renewal dates:

Swanson - $7,000 automatically renews unless notice given;
S. K. Funding - $4,500 due July 2027 and automatically renews unless notice is given;
S. K. Funding - $2,000 of the total due January 2027;
Builder Finance, Inc - $2,024 with no expiration date;
Liberty Savings Bank - $5,001 no expiration date and may terminate upon 90 days of written notice
New LOC Agreements - $4,490 generally one-month notice and nine months to reduce principal balance to zero;
Line of credits with affiliates - $6 and due upon demand.

Unsecured borrowings due by December 31, 2026, consist of Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Program and other unsecured debt of $1,541 and $5,583, 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. During the last twelve months, approximately 88% of our Notes Program holders reinvested upon maturity. The 36-month Note sold in our public note offerings had a mandatory early redemption option, subject to certain conditions. Historically, our other unsecured debt has renewed. 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 maturity 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 an increase in our assets during the remainder of 2026 due to an increase in our marketing efforts. We are prepared for an increase in assets through the net sources and uses (12-month liquidity) listed above as well as future capital from debt, preferred equity, and regular equity. Although our secured debt is almost entirely listed as current 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 homes sold are dropping. This is both because some homes are selling for less and because the average home selling is smaller (more affordable). However, we anticipate significant declines in home values in some markets over the next 12 months.

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. Housing starts have been in a tight range over the last year, and generally payoffs appear stable. 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 5%, 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. High interest rates may also increase builder defaults, as interest payments may become a higher portion of operating costs for the builder.

However, we note that one difference between the current housing cycle compared to prior cycles is that the supply of used homes in the market is low due to the number of homes owned with lower interest rates. Due to the new data on used homes in the market, this makes understanding future results an issue for the Company. Meanwhile, as housing cycles start to decline, foreclosures increase and with their initial interest rate at 3% or less if started within the last 24 months, foreclosures may not have as large of an impact.

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. Both the short- and long-term interest rates have risen slightly to historically normal levels.

Housing prices are also generally correlated with housing starts; therefore, increases in housing starts usually coinciding with increases in housing values, and the reverse is generally true. Looking at the chart below, housing starts have fallen back from the pandemic high; however, since then the change has remained relatively flat.
