(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. (CPTA or the Company) was incorporated under the laws of
Colorado on April 22, 2003. The Company is a co-developer, principally as a financier, for
build-to-suit real estate development projects for retailers who sign long-term leases for use of
the property. Land acquisition and project construction operations are conducted through the
Companys subsidiaries. The Company creates each project such that it will generate income from the
placement of the construction loan, rental income during the period in which the property is held,
and the capital appreciation of the facility upon sale. Affiliates, subsidiaries and management of
the Company will develop the construction and permanent financing for the benefit of the Company.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates have been made by management with respect to the fair values utilized for
calculating the Companys impairments on real estate projects. During the year ended December 31,
2007 the Company recorded impairment losses totaling $3,046,196. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 the Company recorded an additional $4,752,312 of impairment losses. These
estimates directly affect the Companys financial statements, and any changes to the estimates
could materially affect the Companys reported assets and net income.
Accounting Pronouncements
We continue to evaluate the impact of SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which are required to be adopted
at the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. Further information on these accounting pronouncements
is located in our 2007 Form 10KSB.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. On January 1, 2008 the Company only partially adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157
because of the issuance of Staff Position (the FSP) FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157 which allows companies to delay the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial
assets and liabilities. The partial adoption had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial
position and results of operations. Management does not believe that the remaining provisions will
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations
when they become effective on January 1, 2009.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair
value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is intended to improve financial reporting by allowing
companies to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently and to do so without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.
SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of
assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that
requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value and does not effect disclosure
requirements in other accounting standards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective for the
fiscal year beginning on or after December 29, 2007, and the adoption had no impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.

(2) Current Development Projects
Current development projects are divided into two line items on our balance sheet, land held for
development and construction in progress, which is made up of all hard costs, soft costs and
financing costs that are capitalized into the project. As of September 30, 2008 we had two
projects categorized as current development projects totaling
$5,037,282, which was comprised of
$2,660,607 in land and $2,376,675 of construction in progress. These properties are in the later
stages of construction and are located in California and Louisiana. They represent leases from
Lone Star Steakhouse and Family Dollar Stores.
(3) Real Estate Held for Sale
When a project is completed and a certificate of occupancy is issued, the assets for the project
under land held for sale and construction in progress are reclassified and combined into real
estate held for sale. In cases where we own raw land and have made the business decision not to
move forward on development, the property is also reclassified into real estate held for sale.
As of September 30, 2008 we had twelve properties classified as real estate held for sale totaling
$14,627,963 in costs, three of which were completed projects and seven of which were raw land currently
being marketed for sale. The completed projects total $7,164,166 with tenants that include
corporate lease and franchisees for Fed Ex Kinkos, Starbucks, Criket Wireless, Mexicali Cafe and
Shell Oil and are in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana and Utah. Land that is currently for sale totals
$7,463,797 and is located in Arizona, Colorado, Florida and South Carolina.

GDBA Investments, LLLP
On September 28, 2006, GDBA Investments replaced the Agreement to Fund with a new investment
structure that included 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $12.00 per share,
a $3.5 million Senior Subordinated Note and a $3.5 million Senior Subordinated Revolving Note
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued under these transactions pays a 5% annual dividend
on the Original Issue Price of $12.00, payable quarterly and is convertible to common stock at a
$3.00 conversion price. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder, at any time after the issuance of such shares.
In the event the Company issues or sells additional shares of common stock for consideration less
than the Series A conversion price in effect on the date of such issuance or sale (currently $3.00
per share), then the Series A conversion price will be reduced to a price equal to the
consideration per share paid for such additional shares of common stock.

The Senior Subordinated Note and the Senior Subordinated Revolving Note both mature on September
28, 2009 and carry a floating interest rate equal to the higher of 11% or the 90 day average of the
10 year U.S. Treasury Note plus 650 basis points, which resets and is payable quarterly. Both the
Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Subordinated Revolving Notes are subordinated to our
Senior Credit Facilities.
On September 28, 2006, the Company recognized $5,050,000 in revenue through a related party sale of
its Riverdale and Stonegate properties to Aquatique Industries, Inc., a company controlled by GDBA.
On April 14, 2007 we completed an additional private placement with GDBA Investments consisting of
$3 million in Subordinated Revolving Notes. The Notes also carry an interest rate equal to the
higher of 11% or the 90 day average of the 10 year U.S. Treasury Note plus 650 basis points, which
is payable and resets quarterly. These notes were converted to common shares on June 30, 2008.
On June 30, 2008, GDBA Investments, LLLP, entered into an agreement with us to convert all of their
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which totaled 250,000 shares in the aggregate, to Common

Convertible Preferred Stock was retired.

evidenced by a Senior Subordinated Note in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($3,500,000) and a Revolving Note in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($3,500,000) were converted into one Seven Million Dollar ($7,000,000) Revolving Note. The
Seven Million Dollar ($7,000,000) Revolving Note matures on September 28, 2009. Each Senior
Subordinated Note and old Revolving Note was canceled.
On June 30, 2008 we paid accrued interest and dividends on our retired Subordinated Revolving Notes
and Preferred Stock in the form of our Common Shares. GDBA Investments, LLLP received a total of
717,829 common shares for $482,589 in accrued but unpaid interest and dividends.

BOCO Investments, LLC
On September 28, 2006, we completed a $10 million private placement with BOCO Investments, LLC
consisting of 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $12.00 per share and $7
million in Senior Subordinated Debt, $3.5 million of which was drawn at closing and $3.5 million of
which has a revolving feature and can be drawn as needed. Additionally Mr. Joseph Zimlich, BOCO
Investments, LLCs Chief Executive Officer, purchased 17,000 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock at $12.00 per share in his own name.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued under these transactions pays a 5% annual dividend
on the Original Issue Price of $12.00, payable quarterly and is convertible to common stock at a
$3.00 conversion price. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder, at any time after the issuance of such shares.
In the event the Company issues or sells additional shares of common stock for consideration less
than the Series A conversion price in effect on the date of such issuance or sale (currently $3.00
per share), then the Series A conversion price will be reduced to a price equal to the
consideration per share paid for such additional shares of common stock.
9
At any time following the one-year anniversary of the Series A original issuance date (September
28, 2006), the Company may cause the conversion of all, but not less than all, of the Series A
Preferred Stock. However, the Company may not complete the mandatory conversion unless a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is effective, registering for resale the
shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

plus 650 basis points. We utilized $1,150,000 from this line which was repaid in January,

(5) Notes Receivable and Development Deposits
During the course of acquiring properties for development, CapTerra Financial Group, Inc, on behalf
of its subsidiaries and development partners, typically is required to provide capital for earnest
money deposits that may or may not be refundable in addition to investing in entitlements for
properties before the actual land purchase. Because these activities represent a risk of our
capital in the event the land purchase is not completed, it is our policy to require our
development partners to personally sign promissory notes to CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. for all
proceeds expended before land is purchased. Once the land has been purchased and we can
collateralize the capital invested by us, the promissory note is cancelled. CPTA had $707,292 in
earnest money deposits outstanding at September 30, 2008. These deposits were held by development
partners who have each secured them through promissory notes held by us. These promissory notes
are callable on demand or due within a year and carry an interest rate between 12% and 12.5% per
annum.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income
tax purposes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the realization of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers past history, the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future
taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although it is the full
intention of the Company, that any carryback and carryforward amounts
will be utilized against future taxable income, we are not certain
that we will be able to use the entire amount and, accordingly, have
recorded a valuation allowance of $2,000,000 at September 30,
2008.
12
Given the complexities of tax laws
and FASB 109 and the fact that there is a degree of interpretation and
subjectivity, it has been our policy to hire a third party CPA firm for our tax
work and FASB 109 calculation. During the quarter ended September, 30, 2008, we
changed to a new CPA firm to perform these services.
During their review of our past
calculations to tie into the current quarter, they disagreed with the FASB 109
calculation made by our former CPA firm for the year ended December 31,
2007. After detailed consultation with our new CPA firm, the Company believes
there is a variance which understated the tax benefit and overstated the net
loss on the income statement by $498,000, and understated the deferred tax
asset on the balance sheet by $498,000.
Because we discovered the issue
while analyzing our deferred tax asset for the quarter ended September 30,
2008 and the Company had already determined the need for a valuation allowance,
we have adjusted the deferred tax asset accordingly. The Company increased the
valuation allowance by $498,000 which is included in the total valuation
allowance of $2,000,000.
(9) Noncontrolling Interests
Following is a summary of the noncontrolling interests in the equity of the Companys subsidiaries.
The Company establishes a subsidiary for each real estate project. Ownership in the subsidiaries is
allocated between the Company and the
co-developer/contractor.

(10) Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash
The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in financial
institutions, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United
States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The loss that would have resulted from that
risk totaled $31,686 at September 30, 2008, for the excess of the deposit liabilities reported by
the financial institution versus the amount that would have been covered by FDIC. The Company has
not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant
credit risk to cash.
(11) Notes Payable
Vectra Bank Senior Credit Facility:
On April 25, 2005, we entered into a $10 million senior credit facility with Vectra Bank of
Colorado (Vectra Bank). This commitment permits us to fund construction notes for build-to-suit
real estate projects for national and regional chain retailers. The financing is facilitated
through a series of promissory notes. Each note is issued for individual projects under the
facility and must be underwritten and approved by Vectra Bank and has a term of 12 months with one
(1) allowable extension not to exceed 6 months subject to approval. Interest is funded from an
interest reserve established with each construction loan. The interest rate on each note is equal
to the 30 day LIBOR plus 2.25%. Each note under the facility is for an amount, as determined by
Vectra Bank, not to exceed the lesser of 75% of the appraised value of the real property under the
approved appraisal for the project or 75% of the project costs. Principal on each note is due at
maturity, with no prepayment penalty. Vectra Bank retains a First Deed of Trust on each property
financed and the facility has the personal guarantees of GDBA and its principals.
On March 27, 2008, we executed the Third Amendment to our Credit Agreement with Vectra Bank
extending the expiration of our $10 million facility to May 31, 2009. While the terms and
conditions were modified slightly from the original agreement, they are not materially different
than the original agreement from 2005. Any construction issued prior to the expiration date of the
Credit Agreement, will survive the expiration of the facility and will be subject to its individual
term as outlined in the Credit Agreement.
13
As of September 30, 2008, we had no outstanding notes under this facility.
United Western Bank Senior Credit Facility
On May 7, 2007, we entered into a $25 million senior credit facility with United Western Bank. This
commitment permits us to fund construction notes for build-to-suit real estate projects for
national and regional chain retailers. The financing is facilitated through a series of promissory
notes. Each note is issued for individual projects under the facility and must be underwritten and
approved by United Western Bank and has a term of 12 months with one (1) allowable extension not to
exceed 6 months subject to approval. Interest is funded from an interest reserve established with
each construction loan. The interest rate on each note is equal to Prime rate minus 50 basis
points Each note under the facility is for an amount, as determined by United Western Bank, not to
exceed the lesser of 75% of the appraised value of the real property under the approved appraisal
for the project or 75% of the project costs. Principal on each note is due at maturity, with no
prepayment penalty. United Western Bank retains a First Deed of Trust on each property financed.
The United Western Facility expired on May 7, 2008 and as of September 30, 2008 we had not renewed
the facility. We currently have 3 notes outstanding that were issued under the facility and each
will mature one year after their respective issuance dates, each are eligible for one six-month
extension.
As of September 30, 2008, we had three outstanding notes under this facility with a principal
amount totaling $6,053,752. Total interest accrued through September 30, 2008 was $254,865.
(12) Impairment of Assets
We invest significantly in real estate assets. Accordingly, our policy on asset impairment is
considered a critical accounting estimate. Management periodically evaluates the Companys property
and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that a possible
impairment in the carrying values of the assets has occurred. As part of this evaluation, and in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), the Company records the carrying value of the
property at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated selling
costs. The amount the Company will ultimately realize on these asset sales could differ from the
amount recorded in the financial statements. The Company engages real estate brokers to assist in
determining the estimated selling price or when external opinions are not available uses their own
market knowledge. The estimated selling costs are based on the Companys experience with similar
asset sales. The Company records an impairment charge and writes down an assets carrying value if
the carrying value exceeds the estimated selling price less costs to sell.
We recognized $4,156,444 of impairments for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This item contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain
forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations,
estimates, and projections about our industry, management beliefs, and certain assumptions made by
our management. Words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks,
estimates, variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore,
actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking
statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth herein and in other reports and
documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly
the Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Overview and History
HISTORY
We were founded in 2003 as a development partner, providing 100% financing for build-to-suit,
small-box retail development projects throughout the United States. Offering 100% financing for
our development partners consisted of providing equity or subordinated debt for approximately
twenty-five percent of a projects cost and utilizing our senior debt facilities to provide a
construction loan for the other seventy-five percent of the projects cost. While we provided the
capital for the project, our development partners responsibility was to obtain a lease, develop,
market and sell the project once complete. In exchange for providing all of the capital, we took a
controlling interest in the project and received 50% of the profits when the project was sold, with
a minimum profit threshold for us in order to protect our downside.
In order to facilitate growth, we focused on building our companys infrastructure, particularly in
the areas of deal generation, underwriting, and operations, as well as in finance and accounting.
Early on, we implemented a growth strategy of creating a distributed sales force throughout the
United States focused on creating relationships with developers and qualifying deals for us to
finance. Once deals were generated, it was estimated that they would be developed and sold within
seven to ten months. At that point revenues would be generated and capital returned to be recycled
into new projects.
Beginning in March 2008, with the changing of our management team, we re-assessed our business
model and drew the following conclusions: 1) Our development partners had no hard investment in the
projects and were not properly incentivized to continue projects when expected profitability fell;
2) Our investment program and marketing efforts did not cater to high quality sponsors with whom we
could generate profitable, repeat business; 3) While successful projects proved to be highly
profitable, portfolio experience demonstrated that downside risk was larger than originally
anticipated; 4) While there are many transactions that worked within our target market, we were
unlikely to meet our growth objectives given the limited scope of our addressable market; and 5)
Our corporate infrastructure and cost structure was too large for the production levels that we
were achieving.
15
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In the second quarter 2008, we significantly expanded our business model in order to take advantage
of changed market opportunities and more efficiently and profitably deploy our capital going
forward. We broadened our target property types beyond small-box, single-tenant retail to include
office, industrial, multi-family, multi-tenant retail, hospitality and select land transactions.
In addition, we expanded our financial product offerings to focus on preferred equity, mezzanine
debt and high yield bridge loans.
In our expanded model, we are focused on investing in higher-quality, more experienced developers,
owners and operators. These target partners typically have equity capital to invest and are able
to secure senior debt for their projects, but require additional capital, particularly in todays
capital market environment, to bridge the gap between senior debt and their available equity. We
seek to fill this gap with preferred equity or mezzanine debt. While we continue to provide up to
100% of a projects required equity, typically our partner is contributing a meaningful amount of
capital to the project. These preferred equity and mezzanine structures allow us to invest in
larger transactions, with higher quality partners, at lower risk but higher risk-adjusted returns
than transactions in which we have previously invested.
We are also focused on select high-yield bridge loans, whole loan acquisitions, and limited
partnership interest acquisitions. Particularly in the near term, we see excellent opportunities
in these areas as a result of volatile capital market conditions. Given our more nimble investment
parameters and processes, we are well positioned to take advantage of such opportunities.
Our expanded strategy has required a re-tooling of our staff to incorporate a broader set of
investment and product-type experience. With our refocused investment strategy, we are also able
to deploy more capital with less staff, particularly in our operations and deal origination groups.
Accordingly, we have reduced our staff from fifteen full time employees on December 31, 2007 to
seven full time employees on June 30, 2008. We are actively working on refilling several key
positions but plan to remain a streamlined organization with greater efficiencies and cost savings.
We have significantly restructured our capitalization, strengthened our balance sheet, and better
positioned ourselves for future growth. On June 30, 2008, our two major investors, GDBA
Investments LLLP and BOCO Investments, LLC converted $6 million in subordinated debt to common
equity shares. The interest rate on the remaining $14 million in subordinated debt was also
reduced by 500 basis points. In addition, GDBA, BOCO and Joseph Zimlich converted $6.2 million in
convertible preferred stock, which carried a 5% dividend, to common stock. These transactions have
significantly reduced the Companys cost of capital, reduced the Companys interest and preferred
dividend burden by over $1.67 million per year, and restored our shareholders equity to over $6.5
million.
Finally, we have changed the name of our company to CapTerra Financial Group, Inc. This name
change reflects an effort to present a fresh face to our target market and to re-brand as a more
flexible company. Our re-branding effort also includes a redesigned website and increased focus on
marketing and messaging materials.
The Company is now well positioned for scalable and profitable growth. Currently, we have over $20
million in completed and nearly completed projects that we anticipate selling over the next several
quarters as well as a strong pipeline of future potential business. We see strong opportunities for
cautious, forward thinking investments in commercial real estate projects and excellent prospects
for sustained, long term growth.
Our principal business address is 700 17th Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80202.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the quarters ending September 30,
2008 and September 30, 2007.
Our revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 were $3,333,670 compared to $1,024,980 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2007. We sold two projects for the quarter ended September 30,
2008 totaling $3,171,409 compared to one project totaling $815,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 2007. We anticipate project sales will increase over the next several quarters as we sell
current properties available for sale. Rental income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was
$116,570 compared to $51,283 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. We had no management fees
for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $148,383 for the quarter ended September 30,
2007. We had financing activities totaling $45,691 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008
compared to $10,314 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
We recognize cost of sales on projects during the period in which they are sold. We had $2,954,748
of cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to $815,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007. Cost of sales will likely increase along with revenues as existing
projects are sold.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $579,167 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008
compared to selling, general and administrative costs of $748,078 for the quarter ended September
30, 2007. We continue to actively manage our selling, general and administrative expense although
it will likely increase as we re-staff key positions.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008 we recognized an impairment charge totaling $4,156,444
compared to an impairment recovery of $40,868 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 (please see
footnote 12). We believe our balance sheet correctly reflects the current fair value of our
projects; however, we will continue to impairment test each of the properties in our portfolio on a
quarterly basis.
We had an income tax benefit of
$374,039 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to an income
tax benefit of $360,880 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The
income tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was after the
effect of a $2,000,000 valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset taken
on September 30, 2008, which included a $498,000 adjustment for the year
ended December 31, 2007. The Company determined that an allowance is
needed related to the recognition of its deferred tax asset based on the
continuing deterioration of the commercial real estate market combined with the
tightening credit markets in the third quarter.
We had a net loss of $4,259,852 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of
$230,122 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Net loss available to common shareholders,
after preferred stock dividends was $4,259,852 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to
$308,308 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. On June 30, 2008, we converted all convertible
preferred stock to common stock so we will not pay a preferred stock dividend going forward.
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the nine months ending September
30, 2008 and September 30, 2007.
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $4,643,861 compared to $6,264,291
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Project sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 were $4,381,723 compared to $5,739,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We
anticipate project sales will increase over the next several quarters as we sell current properties
available for sale. We had rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $224,048
compared to $103,487 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which is attributable to having more rent producing
properties in the current nine months versus the prior year. We recognized no management fee
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to management fees of $362,981 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
17
We recognized financing activities totaling $38,090 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
compared to $58,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
We recognize cost of sales on projects during the period in which they are sold. We had cost of
sales of $4,118,748 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $5,460,324 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cost of sales will likely increase along with revenues as
existing projects are sold.
Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,943,805 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 compared to $2,655,984 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which included a $214,953
charge for bad debt expense. We continue to actively manage our selling, general and
administrative expense although it will likely increase as we re-staff key positions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 we recognized an impairment charge totaling
$4,752,312 compared to an impairment charge of $1,898,645 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 (please see footnote 12). We believe our balance sheet correctly reflects the current fair
value of our projects; however, we will continue to impairment test each of the properties in our
portfolio on a quarterly basis.
We had an income tax benefit of
$1,254,079 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008 compared to an
income tax benefit of $1,527,480 for the nine-months ended September 30,
2007. The income tax benefit for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008
was after the effect of a $2,000,000 valuation allowance against our deferred
tax asset taken on September 30, 2008, which included a $498,000
adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company determined
that an allowance is needed related to the recognition of its deferred tax
asset based on the continuing deterioration of the commercial real estate
market combined with the tightening credit markets in the third quarter.
We had a net loss of $6,401,768 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss
of $2,566,698 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Net loss available to common
shareholders, after preferred stock dividends was $6,401,768 for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 compared to $2,798,710 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. On June 30, 2008, we
converted all convertible preferred stock to common stock so we will not pay a preferred stock
dividend going forward.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents, were $781,048 on September 30, 2008 compared to $2,035,620 on December
31, 2007.
Cash used in operating activities was $3,382,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
compared to cash used in operating activities of $14,869,670 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. This change was primarily the result of fewer projects under construction in the current
period in addition to a large account receivable from a property sold in December 2007, which was
collected in January 2008. Cash used in operations has typically been substantial, driven by
project funding requirements and we anticipate that it will continue to be significant moving
forward.
Cash provided by investing activities increased to $222,192 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 compared to cash used in investing activities of $29,495 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. We issue promissory notes to our development partners when we invest earnest money on
potential new projects which are retired when we purchase the land into the subsidiary. We had
several promissory note repayments for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
18
Cash provided by financing activities was $1,905,582 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
compared to $15,459,752 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. As we continue to fund
our project pipeline we expect that our cash provided by financing activities will continue to be
significant. As of September 30, 2008 we had $4,250,000 of availability on our Senior Subordinated
Notes; however, $4,000,000 is designated to fund a specific project. We had availability of
$10,000,000 on our Senior Credit Facilities as of September 30, 2008.
Based on our cash balance and our availability on our Senior Subordinated Notes as of September 30,
2008, we may not have adequate cash available to meet all of our obligations with regard to
operating capital and project equity required over the next three months. Over the next twelve
months, we will likely require approximately $2 million to fund our operations. We continue to
work with our existing investors and are seeking additional investors to secure the capital
required to fund our operations going forward.
Management continues to assess our capital resources in relation to our ability to fund continued
operations on an ongoing basis. As such, management may seek to access the capital markets to
raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity, debt or a combination of both
in order to fund our operations and continued growth.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We continue to evaluate the impact of SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which are required to be adopted
at the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. Further information on these accounting pronouncements
is located in our 2007 Form 10KSB.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. On January 1, 2008 the Company only partially adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157
because of the issuance of Staff Position (the FSP) FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157 which allows companies to delay the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial
assets and liabilities. The partial adoption had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial
position and results of operations. Management does not believe that the remaining provisions will
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations
when they become effective on January 1, 2009.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair
value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is intended to improve financial reporting by allowing
companies to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently and to do so without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.
SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of
assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that
requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value and does not effect disclosure
requirements in other accounting standards. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective for the
fiscal year beginning December 29, 2007, and the adoption had no impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Seasonality
At this point in our business operations our revenues are not impacted by seasonal demands for our
products or services. As we penetrate our addressable market and enter new geographical regions,
we may experience a degree of seasonality.
19
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other
factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the
circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future
conditions.
We believe that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of our
financial condition and results of operations, in that they require subjective or complex
judgments, form the basis for the accounting policies deemed to be most critical to us. These
relate to bad debts, impairment of intangible assets and long lived assets, contractual adjustments
to revenue, and contingencies and litigation. We believe estimates and assumptions related to
these critical accounting policies are appropriate under the circumstances; however, should future
events or occurrences result in unanticipated consequences, there could be a material impact on our
future financial conditions or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
None.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act),
our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings, to which we are a party, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or operating results.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below; and all of the other
information included in this document. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition or operating results and could negatively impact the value of
your investment.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE. WE WERE UNPROFITABLE FOR OUR TWO
MOST RECENT FISCAL YEAR ENDS.
Our revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 were $17,875,858. We had a net loss of
$3,959,059 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Our revenues for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 were $3,333,670 compared to revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 of
$1,024,980. We had a net loss of $2,768,931 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to a
net loss of $230,122 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2008 we have an
accumulated deficit of $4,910,847. We have only completed a limited number of transactions, so it
continues to be difficult for us to accurately forecast our quarterly and annual revenue. However,
we use our forecasted revenue to establish our expense budget. Most of our expenses are fixed in
the short term or incurred in advance of anticipated revenue. As a result, we may not be able to
decrease our expenses in a timely manner to offset any revenue shortfall. We attempt to keep
revenues in line with expenses but cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
BECAUSE WE HAVE RECURRING LOSSES, HAVE USED SIGNIFICANT CASH IN SUPPORT OF OUR OPERATING
ACTIVITIES, HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND ARE RELIANT UPON FUNDING COMMITMENTS WITH TWO
SIGNIFICANT SHAREHOLDERS, OUR ACCOUNTANTS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A
GOING CONCERN.
For our year ended December 31, 2007, our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses, the use of significant cash in support
of our operating activities, our limited operating history and our reliance upon funding
commitments with two significant shareholders. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and
ultimately to attain profitability. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive
cash flow is dependent upon:
|
|
|
our ability to find suitable real estate projects; and |
|
|
|
|
our ability to generate sufficient revenues from those projects. |
We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in
the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to
go out of business.
21
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN THE FUTURE BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO
US.
In order to expand our business, we will continue to need additional capital. To date, we have been
successful in obtaining capital, but we cannot guarantee that additional capital will be available
at all or under sufficient terms and conditions for us to utilize it. Because we have an ongoing
need for capital, we may experience a lack of liquidity in our future operations. We will need
additional financing of some type, which we do not now possess, to fully develop our business plan.
We expect to rely principally upon our ability to raise additional financing, the success of which
cannot be guaranteed. To the extent that we experience a substantial lack of liquidity, our
development in accordance with our business plan may be delayed or indefinitely postponed, which
would have a materially adverse impact on our operations and the investors investment.
AS A COMPANY WITH LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, WE ARE INHERENTLY A RISKY
INVESTMENT. OUR OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO OUR ABILITY TO FINANCE REAL ESTATE PROJECTS.
Because we are a company with a limited history, our operations, which consist of real estate
financing of build-to-suite projects for specific national retailers, are subject to numerous
risks. Our operations will depend, among other things, upon our ability to finance real estate
projects and for those projects to be sold. Further, there is the possibility that our proposed
operations will not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses or will generate income
and capital appreciation, if any, at rates lower than those anticipated or necessary to sustain the
investment. The value of our assets may become impaired by a variety of factors, which would make
it unlikely, if not impossible to profit from the sale of our real estate. We have already
experienced impairments to our assets and may do so in the future. Our operations may be affected
by many factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of these problems, or a combination
thereof, could have a materially adverse effect on our viability as an entity.
WE HAVE A HEAVY RELIANCE ON OUR CURRENT FUNDING COMMITMENTS WITH TWO SIGNIFICANT SHAREHOLDERS.
We are currently dependent upon our relationships with GDBA Investments, LLLP,(GDBA), our largest
shareholder, and BOCO Investments, LLC,(BOCO) a private Colorado limited liability company. Each
has provided us with funding through a $10 million subordinated debt vehicle and a $3 million
preferred convertible equity. In addition, BOCO has recently extended a $3,000,000 term loan to us
to facilitate the timing of the origination and completion of our fourth quarter projects. We would
be unable to fund any projects if we lose our current funding commitment from these shareholders.
In addition, our senior credit facility with Vectra Bank Colorado, which is renewable annually, has
been guaranteed by GDBA. In any case, we expect to rely upon both GDBA and BOCO for funding
commitments for the foreseeable future.
OUR INDEBTEDNESS UNDER OUR VARIOUS CREDIT FACILITIES ARE SUBSTANTIAL AND COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO
GROW OUR BUSINESS.
As of September 30, 2008, we had total indebtedness under our various credit facilities of
approximately $22.0 million. Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For
example, it could:
|
|
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
|
|
|
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations
to payments on our indebtedness if we do not maintain specified financial
ratios, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for other purposes;
or |
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business
and the industry in which we operate, thereby placing us at a competitive
disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less indebtedness. |
22
In addition, our credit facilities permit us to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the
future. As of September 30, 2008, we had approximately $14.25 million available to us for
additional borrowing under our $29.8 million various credit facilities. If we increase our
indebtedness by borrowing under our various credit facilities or incur other new indebtedness, the
risks described above would increase.
OUR VARIOUS CREDIT FACILITIES HAVE RESTRICTIVE TERMS AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THESE
TERMS COULD PUT US IN DEFAULT, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS.
Our various credit facilities contain a number of significant covenants. These covenants limit our
ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:
|
|
incur additional indebtedness; |
|
|
|
make capital expenditures and other investments above a certain level; |
|
|
|
merge, consolidate or dispose of our assets or the capital stock or assets of any subsidiary; |
|
|
|
pay dividends, make distributions or redeem capital stock in certain circumstances; |
|
|
|
enter into transactions with our affiliates; |
|
|
|
grant liens on our assets or the assets of our subsidiaries; and |
|
|
|
make or repay intercompany loans. |
Our various credit facilities require us to maintain specified financial ratios. Our ability to
meet these financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may not
meet those ratios. A breach of any of these restrictive covenants or our inability to comply with
the required financial ratios would result in a default under our various credit facilities or
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our
indebtedness. If the creditors accelerate amounts owing under our various credit facilities because
of a default and we are unable to pay such amounts, the creditors have the right to foreclose on
our assets.
WE PAY INTEREST ON ALL OF OUR CREDIT FACILITIES AT VARIABLE RATES, RATHER THAN FIXED RATES, WHICH
COULD AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY.
All of our credit facilities provide for the payment of interest at variable rates. None of our
credit facilities provide for the payment of interest at fixed rates. We can potentially realize
profitability to the extent that we can borrow at a lower rate of interest and charge a higher rate
of interest in our operations. Because our credit facilities are at variable rates, our profit
margins could be depressed or even eliminated by rising interest rates on funds we must borrow.
Rising interest rates could have a materially adverse affect on our operations.
WE DO NOT HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF BEING ABLE TO SELL PROPERTIES AT A PROFIT
We have only been in business since 2003. We do not have a significant track record and may be
unable to sell properties upon completion. We have already experienced impairments to our assets of
approximately $3,046,196 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and $4,752,312 through
September 30, 2008. We may incur additional impairments in the future. We may be forced to sell
properties at a loss. Furthermore, in order to sell properties for a profit, we may be forced to
hold properties for longer periods that we plan, which may require the need for additional
financing sources. Any of these conditions would likely result in reduced operating profits and
could likely strain current funding agreements.
23
MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL GROWTH.
We hope to experience rapid growth which, if achieved, will place a significant strain on our
managerial, operational, and financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and
manage growth, we must continue to implement and improve our financial strength and our operational
systems, and expand. There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively manage the expansion
of our operations, or that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our
expanded operations or that we will be able to obtain facilities to support our growth. Our
inability to effectively manage our future growth would have a material adverse effect on us.
THE MANNER IN WHICH WE FINANCE OUR PROJECTS CREATES THE POSSIBILITY OF A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
We fund our projects with construction financing obtained through the efforts of our management and
our shareholders, GDBA and BOCO. This arrangement could create a conflict of interest with respect
to such financings. However, there may be an inherent conflict of interest in the arrangement until
such time as we might seek such financings on a competitive basis.
LACK OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS.
We do not have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors and we cannot
guarantee that our board of directors will have a majority of independent directors in the future.
In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, which are also
principal stockholders and directors, could establish policies and enter into transactions without
independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of
interest between our stockholders and us generally and the controlling officers, stockholders or
directors.
INTENSE COMPETITION IN OUR MARKET COULD PREVENT US FROM DEVELOPING REVENUE AND PREVENT US FROM
ACHIEVING ANNUAL PROFITABILITY.
We provide a defined service to finance real estate projects. The barriers to entry are not
significant. Our service could be rendered noncompetitive or obsolete. Competition from larger and
more established companies is a significant threat and expected to increase. Most of the companies
with which we compete and expect to compete have far greater capital resources, and many of them
have substantially greater experience in real estate development. Our ability to compete
effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater
resources than we can.
POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety
of factors, most of which are outside of our control, including: the demand for our products or
services; seasonal trends in financing; the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other
costs relating to the development of our properties; price competition or pricing changes in the
industry; technical or regulatory difficulties; general economic conditions; and economic
conditions specific to our industry. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by
the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly at
our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results
for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating
results will fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
OUR SUCCESS WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON OUR OPERATING PARTNERS EFFORTS.
Our success will be dependent, to a large extent, upon the efforts of our operating partners in our
various projects. To the extent that these partners, individually or collectively, fail to develop
projects in a timely or cost-effective manner, our profit margins could be depressed or even
eliminated. If we cannot or do not select appropriate partners for our projects, our profitability
and viability will suffer. The absence of one or
more partners who develop projects in a timely or cost-effective manner could have a material,
adverse impact on our operations.
24
OUR SUCCESS WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON OUR MANAGEMENTS EFFORTS.
Our success will be dependent upon the decision making of our directors and executive officers.
These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary to our business, but this commitment
is no assurance of success. The loss of any or all of these individuals, particularly Mr. Peter
Shepard, our President, and James W. Creamer, III, our Chief Financial Officer, could have a
material, adverse impact on our operations. We have no written employment agreements with any
officers and directors, including Mr. Shepard or Mr. Creamer. We have not obtained key man life
insurance on the lives of any of these individuals.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Our officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in our management
affairs. Our articles of incorporation provides, however, that our officers and directors shall
have no liability to our stockholders for losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from
any transaction in their respective managerial capacities unless they violated their duty of
loyalty, did engage in intentional misconduct or gross negligence. Our articles and bylaws also
provide for the indemnification by us of the officers and directors against any losses or
liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they operate our business or conduct
the internal affairs.
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE
PUBLIC SALE PRICE.
There has been, and continues to be, a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock
trades on the NASD Bulletin Board. However, an active trading market for our shares has not, and
may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to
resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock
may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control,
including the following:
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
|
|
|
change in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with
such estimates; |
|
|
|
changes in market valuations of other real estate oriented companies, particularly those that
market services such as ours; |
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
|
|
|
introduction of technologies or product enhancements that reduce the need for our services; |
|
|
|
the loss of one or more key customers; and |
|
|
|
departures of key personnel. |
Further, we cannot assure that an investor will be able to liquidate his investment without
considerable delay, if at all. The factors which we have discussed in this document may have a
significant impact on the market price of our common stock. It is also possible that the relatively
low price of our common stock may keep many brokerage firms from engaging in transactions in our
common stock.
25
As restrictions on the resale of our common stock end, the market price of our stock could drop
significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as
intending to sell them.
BUYING A LOW-PRICED PENNY STOCK SUCH AS OURS IS RISKY AND SPECULATIVE.
Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of
the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other
than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of
$5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by a broker-dealer.
For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability
determination for each purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement prior to the sale.
In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions,
including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation
to be received by the
broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures
required by the SEC. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers
to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to sell any of our
shares you may own in the public markets.
WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK.
We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we
will pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that
we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.
