Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Across America Real Estate Corp. (AARD 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.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from real estate sales under the full accrual method. Under the
full accrual method, profit may be realized in full when real estate is sold, provided (1) the
profit is determinable and (2) the earnings process is virtually complete (the Company is not
obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit). The Company
recognizes revenue from its real estate sales transactions on the closing date.
The Company also generates minimal rental income and management fee income between the periods
when a real estate project is occupied through the closing date on which the project is sold.
Rental income and management fee income is recognized in the month earned.
The subsidiary LLC members have agreed to pay a minimal interest increase over the cost of funds
the Company accrues and pays for its subordinated debt. The subsidiary interest is accrued on a
monthly basis based on the outstanding balance that is due the Company. The interest markup is
recognized on the Companys consolidated balance sheet as unearned revenue. Upon the sale of a
project, the interest increase is recognized as financing activities revenue on the Company
consolidated statement of operations.
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 years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded impairment losses totaling $3,046,196 and $-0-,
respectively. 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.
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.
(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 March 31, 2008 we had four
projects categorized as current development projects totaling
$6,628,570, which was comprised of
$4,851,453 in land and $1,777,117 of construction in progress. These properties are in stages
ranging from pre-construction to mid-construction and are located in three states; California,
Colorado and Louisiana. They represent leases from Lone Star Steakhouse, Family Dollar Stores
and Meineke.
7
(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 March 31, 2008 we had ten properties classified as real estate held for sale totaling
$15,722,579 in costs, five of which were completed projects and five of which were raw land
currently being marketed for sale. The completed projects total $9,175,313 with tenants that
include corporate lease and franchisees for Fed Ex Kinkos, Starbucks, Cingular Wireless, Aspen
Dental and Shell Oil and are in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana and Utah. Land that is currently for
sale totals $6,547,266 and is located in Arizona, Colorado, Florida and South Carolina.

GDBA Investments, LLLP
On November 26, 2004, we entered into a three-year Agreement to Fund our real estate projects
with GDBA Investments, LLLP (GDBA), our largest shareholder. 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. This Agreement to
Fund is no longer in effect.
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.
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.

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. The notes mature June 30, 2008.
On March 31, 2008, we owed dividends of $37,397 and interest of $263,548 due to GDBA
Investments, LLLP.
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.
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.
The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on September 28, 2009 and 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.
The Revolving Notes mature on September 28, 2009 and 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. Both the
Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Subordinated Revolving Notes are subordinated to our
Senior Credit Facilities.
On April 14, 2007 we completed an additional private placement with BOCO 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. The notes mature June 30, 2008.
On October 25, 2007 we obtained a temporary line of credit from BOCO Investments to fund up to
$3,000,000 on a revolving basis for a ninety day period. The temporary line helped facilitate
the timing of the origination and completion of our fourth quarter projects. The line carried 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. We utilized $1,150,000 from this line which was repaid in January, 2008.

On March 31, 2008, we owed dividends of $37,398 and interest of $263,548 to BOCO Investments and
dividends of $2,543 to Mr. Zimlich.
(5) Notes Receivable and Development Deposits
During
the course of acquiring properties for development, Across America Real Estate Corp., 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 Across America Real
Estate Corp. 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.
AARD had $938,322 in earnest money deposits outstanding at March 31, 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.

Stock Based Compensation
On November 8, 2006 Across America Real Estate Corps Board of Directors approved the issuance
of options under the Corporations 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan
the Company is authorized issue shares or options to purchase shares up not to exceed 1,000,000
shares. Options granted shall not be exercisable more than ten years after the date of the
grant. The exercise price of any option grant shall not be less than the fair market value of
the stock price on the date of the grant.
Under the Plan, three of the Companys officers were granted options to purchase a total of
385,000 shares of common stock at the closing stock price as of November 8, 2006, which was
$1.65 per share. The options were granted with a five year term and a vesting schedule of 25%
per year for four years on the anniversary date of employment beginning with the next
anniversary date for each employee.
The fair value of the each option was calculated on the grant date of November 8, 2006 using the
Black-Scholes model and was valued at $0.94 using the following assumptions and inputs:
|
|
|
|
|

On March 6, 2007, three of the Companys directors were granted options under the Plan to
purchase a total of 15,000 shares of common stock at the closing stock price as of March 6,
2007, which was $2.75 per share. The options were granted with a five year term and a vesting
schedule of 25% per year for four years on the anniversary date of the grant.
The fair value of each option was calculated on the grant date of March 6, 2007 using the
Black-Scholes model and was valued at $1.94 using the following assumptions and inputs:

On April 2, 2007, employees were granted options under the Plan to purchase a total 55,000
shares of common stock at the closing stock price as of April 2, 2007, which was $1.90 per
share. The options were granted with a five year term and a vesting schedule of 25% per year for
four years on the anniversary date of the grant.
The fair value of each option was calculated on the grant date of April 2, 2007 using the
Black-Scholes model and was value at $1.34 using the following assumptions and inputs:
|
|
|
|
|

There are a number of assumptions and estimates used in calculating the fair value of options.
These include the expected term of the option, the expected volatility and the risk free
interest rate. These assumptions are included in the charts above. The basis for our expected
volatility and expected term estimates is a combination of our historical information. The
risk-free interest rate is based upon yields of U.S. Treasury strips with terms equal to the
expected life of the option or award being valued. Across America Real Estate Corp does not
currently pay a dividend nor does the Company expect to pay a dividend in the foreseeable
future.
11
The total amount of compensation calculated for the full amount of options granted is $465,923.
We accrue the stock based compensation expense in the periods in which the options vest. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2008, we recognized $22,143 in expense related to stock based
compensation.
Stock option activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 is summarized as follows:

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. It is the full intention of the Company,
that any carryback and carryforward amounts will be utilized against future taxable income. The
vast majority of our NOL carryforwards will expire through the year 2028. As of March 31, 2008,
the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $3 million.
(9) Minority Interests
Following is a summary of the minority 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 $416,360 at March 31, 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.
As of March 31, 2008, we had three outstanding notes under this facility with a principal amount
totaling $1,443,661. Total interest accrued through March 31, 2008 was $87,372.
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.
As of March 31, 2008, we had three outstanding notes under this facility with a principal amount
totaling $3,836,456. Total interest accrued through March 31, 2008 was $127,365.

(12) Capital Lease Obligations
The Company entered into a capital equipment lease on October 4, 2005. The lease commenced on
October 4, 2005 and expires September 26, 2010. The lease payment is $231 per month.
The future minimum lease payments under the leases are as follows:

Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the fair value of the leased asset at the
inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the
shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease.
(13) 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 no impairments for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
(14) Restatement
The Company has restated its December 31, 2007 financial statements to correct an error in accounting for an allowance
of our deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2007 the Company did not recognize any allowance against its deferred
tax asset. Originally, we determined that the weighted evidence presented did not support a conclusion to record an
allowance against our deferred tax asset. After reviewing the evidence that was available for the period in question,
we concluded that we had under weighted certain factors such as our four year cumulative loss position, our anticipated
losses in the upcoming years and our going-concern issues and we had over weighted the fact that realization of our
deferred tax asset is dependant on a turn around in operating profitability. Given these factors we concluded that it
was appropriate to record a full deferred tax allowance as of December 31, 2007. The facts and circumstances that lead
to the restatement of our 2007 financial statements are relevant to the first quarter of 2008 as well. Therefore, our
financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 have also been restated to reflect a full valuation allowance
on our deferred tax asset.
The following sets forth the effects of the restatement discussed above. Amounts reflected as As Previously Reported
represent those amounts included in the Companys Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 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-QSB. 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-QSB 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.
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
$6,067,891 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Our revenues for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006 were $8,459,994. We had a net loss of $735,771 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006. Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $1,190,405 compared to
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $227,984. We had a net loss of $1,014,759 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to a net loss of $413,467 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007. 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 audit dated 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. |
16
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.
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, must be considered an
extremely risky business, 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 March 31, 2008, we had total indebtedness under our various credit facilities of
approximately $25.0 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. |
17
In addition, our credit facilities permit us to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the
future. As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $31.0 million available to us for additional
borrowing under our $55 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.
18
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 as of March 31, 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.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE 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.
WE HAVE A 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.
WE MAY HAVE 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.
19
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.
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.
WE HAVE A 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:

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.
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.
Overview and History
We act as a co-developer, including as a financier, to develop built-to-suit real estate
projects for specific retailers and other tenants who sign long-term leases for use of the
property. Our primary source of revenue is from profits we receive upon the sale of our projects
upon completion; however we also receive revenue from preferred dividends on our invested
capital in projects, management fees we charge to our projects and rental income from our
completed projects before their disposition. In addition, we may share in certain revenues
directly related to our projects with our development partners such as development fees and
leasing and sales commissions.
Our activities include raw land acquisition and facility construction. In such a situation, we
provide construction and property management expertise in exchange for an equity interest in the
property. We also develop projects with construction and permanent financing to be obtained
through the efforts of our management and affiliates. To date, we have hired third party
contractors to work on our projects but plan eventually to use our own staff as well.
21
We are currently focused on the development of build-to-suit single pad, small box retail
projects for national and regional retailers throughout the United States. We operate primarily
in the sale-leaseback market whereby the retailers sign long term leases prior to development
and our majority-owned subsidiary constructs the project with the intent of selling the property
to third party investors upon project completion. Over the past few years we have had
development activities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas,
South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Nevada and Washington. To date our projects have included Advanced
Auto Parts, Starbucks, Fed Ex Kinkos, Champps Americana, Boston Pizza, Goddard Schools, AT&T
Wireless, Aspen Dental, IHOP Restaurant, Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Grease Monkey, Family
Dollar Stores, and Checker Auto Parts. We have generally acquired our projects through the
relationships of our development partners.
In all of our transactions with affiliates, we examine current market conditions and attempt to
develop terms and conditions no less favorable than could be negotiated in an arms-length
transaction.
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, which may include efforts to increase our senior and
subordinated debt lines in addition to efforts to raise additional capital through a number of
sources, including, but not limited to, equity or debt offerings, borrowings, or joint ventures.
In addition, we may expand through acquisition. We may not only look at our present industry but
we will reserve the right to investigate and, if warranted, could merge with or acquire the
assets or common stock of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues. We
will seek opportunities for long-term growth potential as opposed to short-term earnings. As of
the date hereof, we have no business opportunities under investigation. None of our officers,
directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions with
any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger
between us and such other company.
Our principal business address is 700 17th Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80202. We are in
the business of financing and developing build-to-suit real estate projects for specific
retailers who sign long-term leases for use of the property. We create 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 capital appreciation upon sale of the facility. Our
affiliates, subsidiaries and management develop the construction and permanent financing for our
benefit.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Results of Operations
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the quarters ending March 31,
2008 and March 31, 2007.
Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $1,190,405 compared to revenues for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $227,984. Project sales accounted for $1,164,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008 compared to no project sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Based on
the projects we have classified as Held for Sale we would anticipate that project sales will
increase in the next several quarters; however, the timing of these sales is difficult to
predict. We recognize rental income from completed projects that are occupied and held for sale.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we recognized $26,405 in rental income compared to $36,329
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Based on our model, this line item should not grow
substantially. Management fees are currently recognized as we enter into new projects. We had no
revenues from management fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $191,655 in
management fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
We recognize cost of sales on projects during the period in which they are sold. The costs of
sales on impaired projects are adjusted downward by the impairment amount taken either in the
current or prior periods. Total cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was
$1,164,000 which represents no gross margin due to the fact that the property sold was impaired
in the prior period. We had no cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
22
Selling, general and administrative costs were $688,004 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
compared to $826,202 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was largely
attributable to lower payroll costs and cost cutting measures instituted by management in the
fourth quarter of 2007. These cost savings were offset somewhat by a higher degree of project
costs that were expensed corporately as opposed to capitalized into the project. Management
continues to work to control selling, general and administrative costs.
We had a net loss of $1,014,759 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to a net loss of
$413,467 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The net loss applicable to common shareholders,
after preferred stock dividends was $1,092,097 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to
$489,955 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Much of the increase in net loss is due to the
substantial increase in interest expense recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared
to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This increase is due to the larger number of properties
classified as real estate held for sale where we no longer capitalize accrued interest into
the cost of the project and begin realizing the expense. As we sell these properties we would
anticipate that the interest cost expensed will decrease.
Our income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $0 compared to $212,735 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007. In our assessment of our ability to utilize our loss carry
forward, we recorded a full allowance against our deferred tax asset at December 31, 2007.
There were no circumstances that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that caused us
to revise this assessment. Consequently, we have fully allowed for the deferred tax asset for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
A valuation allowance is required to the extent it is more likely than not that a deferred tax
asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents, were $631,362 on March 31, 2008 compared to $803,204 on March 31,
2007 and $2,035,620 on December 31, 2007.
Cash provided by operating activities was $545,563 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared
to cash used in operating activities of $4,126,219 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This
change was primarily the result of fewer projects under construction in the current period in
addition to a large note receivable issued in conjunction with 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 used in investing activities decreased to $8,839 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
compared to $380,168 for the quarter ended March 31, 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. The issuance of these notes receivable was
substantially lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to March 31, 2007.
Cash used in financing activities was $1,940,982 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared
cash provided by financing activities of $4,212,151 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. As we
continue to increase our project pipeline we expect that our cash provided by financing
activities will continue to be significant. On March 31, 2008 we had $1,000,000 of availability
on our Senior Subordinated Revolving Notes and we had availability of $29,969,146 on our Senior
Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2008.
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.
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.
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. 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),
each 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 our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the applicable time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our
most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
