La Rosa Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Nature of Organization 
La Rosa Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) is the holding company for five agent-centric, technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate
segments
. In addition to providing person-to-person residential and commercial real estate brokerage services to the public, the Company cross sells ancillary technology-based products and services primarily to sales agents and the sales agents associated with the Company’s franchisees. The business is organized based on the services provided internally to agents and to the public, which are residential and commercial real estate brokerages, franchising, real estate brokerage education and coaching, and property management services.
 
Liquidity 
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, the Company effectuated a number of transactions that significantly increased the Company’s liquidity since its position on December 31, 2022. The Company issued 1,523 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to 77 investors in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act, raising $1,523,000. The Company also exchanged convertible debt with an outstanding balance of $598,836, including accrued interest of $87,836, for 591 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On March 27, 2023, the Company exchanged a portion of its related party debt with an outstanding gross balance of $1,324,631, excluding debt discount of $469,785, but including accrued interest of $28,101, for 1,321 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. And on December 31, 2022, a loan of $556,268 from Celebration Office Condos LLC, a company owned by Mr. La Rosa, was forgiven for one share of Series A Preferred Stock that was issued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. See Note 6 – Equity for additional information on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
On September 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $350,276 and negative working capital of ($866,384). On October 12, 2023, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001, at a price to the public of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,000,000. The Company received net proceeds of $4,360,000 after underwriter discounts, commissions, and expenses. The Company also reclassified $3,529,192 of deferred offering costs as of September 30, 202
3
to additional paid in capital upon completing the IPO. The Company used the proceeds to
satisfy
 existing debt and accrued interest
in the aggregate amount
of approximately $375,000, related party debt of approximately $150,000,
and
existing accounts payable of $1,000,000
., On October 13, 2023 and on October 16, 2023, the Company acquired controlling interests in two of its franchisees: Horeb Kissimmee Realty, LLC and La Rosa Realty Lake Nona, Inc., for a total consideration of $4,743,127, including $550,000 in cash from the proceeds of the IPO, with the remainder in common stock. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the acquisitions.
 
The Company is subject to the risks and challenges associated with companies at a similar stage of development. These include dependence on key individuals, successful development and marketing of its offerings, and competition with larger companies with greater financial, technical, and marketing resources. Furthermore, during the period required to achieve substantially higher revenue in order to become consistently profitable, the Company may require additional funds that might not be readily available or might not be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Until such time that the Company implements its growth strategy, it expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future, mostly due to corporate overhead and costs of being a public company. The Company believes that its existing working capital and cash on hand
 after completing its IPO
will provide sufficient cash to enable the Company to meet its operating needs and debt requirements for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgements affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Results of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements referred to above.

La Rosa Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
On March 21, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split and on April 17, 2023, the Company effected a 2-for-1 forward stock split of its common stock issued and outstanding (including adjustments for fractional shares). As a result, all share information in the accompanying
condensed
consolidated financial statements has been adjusted as if the reverse stock split and the forward stock split happened on the earliest date presented.


Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts and assumptions used to determine fair value of warrants and other equity instruments, the embedded conversion features of the convertible notes, and the fair value of acquisitions, including intangible assets.
 
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to data presented in the 2022 financial statements to conform with the 2023 financial statement presentation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. Although the Company limits its exposure to credit loss by depositing its cash with established financial institutions that management believes have good credit ratings and represent minimal risk of loss of principal, the Company’s deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable, and the Company believes the carrying value approximates fair value.
 
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held by the Company for rent collected by the Company due to property owners as well as rent security deposits. The Company recognizes a corresponding deposit liability until the funds are released. Once the cash is transferred from escrow, the Company reduces the respective customer’s deposit liability. 
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of balances due from agents, tenants, franchisees, and commissions for closings. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances. The allowance for doubtful
 
accounts was $44,721 and $29,039 as of September 30, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, respectively.
 
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The methodology establishes consistency and comparability by providing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels as follows:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
 
ASC 820 requires the use of observable data if such data is available without undue cost and effort. When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation.

La Rosa Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The determination of fair value considers various factors including interest rate yield curves and time value underlying the financial instruments. In the event of an other-than-temporary impairment of a non-public equity method investment, the Company uses the net asset value of its investment in the investee, adjusted using discounted cash flows, for the Company’s estimate of the price that it would consider all factors that would impact the investment’s fair value. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short- and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.
 
In accordance with accounting standards, the Company determined that on September 30, 2023
and on December 31, 2022
certain instruments qualified as derivative liabilities and should be recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance and re-measured at fair value each reporting period with the change reported in earnings. The fair value of these instruments was computed using the Black Scholes model, incorporating transaction details such as the assumed price of the Company’s common stock at an initial public offering, contractual terms, maturity and risk-free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and holder behavior.
 
A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company measures revenue within the scope of ASC 606 by applying the five steps required by the standard
.
At contract inception, the Company assesses the services promised within each contract that falls under the scope of ASC 606, determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when, or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The application of the five steps necessitates the development of assumptions that require judgment.
 
The revenue policies of each of our business segments
are
 included in the consolidated financial statements for the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1.
 

Revenues from contracts with customers are summarized by category as follows for the for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including those related to our outstanding warrants and stock equity plans, to the extent dilutive. For all periods presented, these shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share of common stock because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented. 
 
 

The following table sets forth common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the computation of dilutive weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive:

Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC 718-10, Share Based Payments with regards to stock-based compensation issued to employees, directors, and non-employees. The Company has agreements and arrangements that call for stock to be awarded to consultants as compensation. The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the warrants issued during the period is the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants or stock options. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk-free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting
Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances and credit quality indicators. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the standard beginning in fiscal year 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s
condensed 
consolidated financial statements.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will implement ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024.

Legal Proceedings

 
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business.
 
On February 13, 2023, Mr. Mark Gracy, who served as our Chief Operating Officer from November 18, 2021 to November 15, 2022, filed a civil lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida, seeking a jury trial and claiming that the Company breached his employment agreement by reducing his salary and failing to pay him his full severance payments and is looking for payment of his alleged severance of $249,000.00. On April 11, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Gracy’s complaint, which is still pending.  
 
On September 5, 2023, Mr. Anthony Freites, who was an alleged independent contractor of La Rosa Realty, LLC from January 13, 2013 until June of 2021, filed an amended complaint in the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida, seeking a jury trial and claiming that the Company breached his contract and is looking for payment of commissions on alleged closed real estate sales as an independent contractor in the amount unspecified but allegedly including actual damages, compensatory damages, attorney’s fees, costs, and prejudgment interest. On October 12, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Freites’ complaint, which
is
still pending.  
 
The Company believes that the above claims are without merit, and it will vigorously defend against such claims. Moreover, these claims, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business, or results of operations, should the Company’s defense not be successful in whole or in part. Except as stated herein, there is no other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers, threatened against or affecting our Company or our officers or directors in their capacities as such.

The PIK Interest will be capitalized, compounded and added to the unpaid principal amount of the note. Amounts representing the PIK Interest will be treated as principal. The note holder has the right at any time, at the holder’s option, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the OID Note into shares of our common stock at a price equal to the offering price of this Offering multiplied by 0.75 with certain distribution, fundamental transaction and anti-dilution protections and cash penalties for failure to deliver the shares in a timely manner.

In the past, La Rosa Realty, LLC has provided interest-free, due on demand advances to La Rosa Insurance LLC, a company controlled by the Company’s chief executive officer. The outstanding balance was $45,413 (unaudited) as of September 30, 2023. As a newly publicly traded company, La Rosa Holdings Corp. must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and specifically Section 402, which amended the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to prohibit companies from making most personal loans to their directors and executive officers. During the fourth quarter of 2023, upon the Company completing its IPO, the Compensation Committee reviewed the advance and determined that the existing related party receivable would be charged as part of the Company’s chief executive officer’s annual bonus as specified in his employment agreement.

TEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
.
 
 
 
The following discussion and analysis are intended to help investors understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. You should read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The share and per share amounts for all periods reflect the completion of the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective on March 21, 2022 and the 2-for-1 Forward Stock Split which was effective on April 17, 2023.
As discussed in the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
 
  
  
  
  
  
our expectations regarding consumer trends in residential real estate transactions;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our expectations regarding overall economic and demographic trends, including the continued growth of the U.S. residential real estate market;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to grow our business organically in the various local markets that we serve;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to attract and retain additional qualified agents and other personnel;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to expand our franchises in both new and existing markets;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to increase the number of closed transactions sides and sides per agent;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to cross-sell our services among our subsidiaries;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to maintain compliance with the law and regulations of federal, state, foreign, county and local governmental authorities, or private associations and governing boards;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to expand, maintain and improve the information technologies and systems that we rely upon to operate;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to prevent security breaches, cybersecurity incidents and interruptions, delays and failures of our technology infrastructure;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to retain our founder and current executive officers and other key employees;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to identify quality potential acquisition candidates in order to accelerate our growth;
 
 
26
 
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to manage our future growth and dependence on our agents;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to maintain the strength of our brands;
 
  
  
  
  
  
our ability to maintain and increase our financial performance;
 
  
  
  
  
  
the market price for our common stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and minimal profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price;
 
  
  
  
  
  
there have recently been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and stock price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance following a number of recent initial public offerings, particularly among companies, like ours, that have had relatively smaller public floats;
 
  
  
  
  
  
sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders, including the Selling Stockholders, which may result in increased volatility in our stock price; and
 
  
  
  
  
  
other factors, including the risks contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our prospectus filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) on October 10, 2023 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) under the Securities Act, relating to our registration statement on Form S-1 as originally filed with the Commission on April 19, 2022 (File No. 333-264372), as amended, relating to our industry, our operations, and results of operations.
 
The foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. 
 
Moreover, new risks regularly emerge, and it is not possible for our management to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Business
Overview

 
 
We operate primarily in the United States residential real estate market. Our agent-centric commission model enables our sales agents to obtain higher net commissions than they would otherwise receive from many of our competitors in our local markets. Moreover, we believe that our proprietary technology, training, and the support we provide to our agents at a minimal cost to them is one of the best offered in the industry. We are currently in the process of developing and deploying our own proprietary technology which will further decrease our overall expenses as we eliminate the need for outside technology services.

A significant driver of our past growth, and we believe, our future growth is our ability to create revenue by referring or requiring our agents and our franchisees’ agents use of business services that we provide. For example, all agents new to our Company are required to have a “coach” and to attend multi-day training sessions to learn the Company’s philosophy, technology, and business practices. Concurrently, the agent works with his or her coach in obtaining listings, working with consumers, and closing transactions. All these activities are run through our La Rosa Coaching, LLC subsidiary which teaches advanced techniques for team building, personal growth, and business development, which we believe will enhance our revenue at a nominal increase in cost to us. In addition, unlike other residential real estate brokerages, we encourage our sales agents to pursue commercial real estate transactions and require them to utilize the services of our commercial real estate company, La Rosa CRE, LLC.
 
 
27
 
 
Our agent centric methodology, our advanced technology, and ancillary services, such as property management, will enable us to organically grow our agent base with virtually no incremental cost. In environments with increasing mortgage rates and declining sales transactions, we believe our model is more attractive to real estate agents, who retain more of their commission proceeds compared to traditional brokerage models. In fact, we have organically increased our agent count by just under four percent year-to-date in 2023 over 2022.

In order to continue to provide cutting edge technology and provide best-in-class coaching and education, we increased our pricing structure effective September 1, 2023, including increasing our agent annual fees and monthly fees, the fixed transaction fee, technology and accounting fees, and property management fees. The fee increases are the first in over two years.

To maximize the utility of our technological infrastructure, we anticipate acquiring additional brokerage firms that will increase our agent count. We also expect to acquire other complementary businesses, such as title and insurance agencies and a mortgage brokerage.
We continue to evaluate opportunities to drive our near-term and long-term growth.
 
On October 12, 2023, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No: 333-264372), which was declared effective by the SEC on October 4, 2023, and we became an Exchange Act reporting company pursuant to a Form 8-A, as amended (File No. 001-41588) on October 4, 2023. On the IPO, we sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001, at a price to the public of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,000,000. We received net proceeds of $4,360,000 after underwriter discounts, commissions, and expenses. We used the proceeds to repay existing debt and accrued interest of approximately $375,000, related party debt of approximately $150,000, existing accounts payable of $1,000,000, and to fund certain acquisitions, noted below. The remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes, including continuing to develop propriety technology and to consider accretive acquisitions.


As disclosed by the Company in the current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 19, 2023, o
n October 13, 2023 and on October 16, 2023, we acquired controlling interests in two of our franchisees: Horeb Kissimmee Realty, LLC and La Rosa Realty Lake Nona, Inc., for a total consideration of $4,743,127, including $550,000 in cash from the proceeds from our IPO, with the remainder in common stock.
 
Description of Our Revenues
 
Our financial results are primarily driven by the total number of sales agents in our Company, the number of sales agents closing residential real estate transactions, the number of sales agents utilizing our coaching services, the number of agents who work with our franchisees, and the number of properties under management. We grew our agent count by just under four 4%, from 2,378 at September 30, 2022 to 2,471 at September 30, 2023.

 
The majority of our revenue is derived from a stable set of fees paid by our brokers, franchisees, and consumers. We have multiple revenue streams, with the majority of our revenue derived from commissions paid by consumers who transact business with our and our franchisees’ agents, royalties paid by our franchisees, dues and technology fees paid by our sales agents, our franchisees, and our franchisees’ agents. Our major revenue streams come from such sources as: (i) residential real estate brokerage revenue, (ii) revenue from our property management services, (iii) franchise royalty fees, (iv) fees from the sale or renewal of franchises and other franchise revenue, (v) coaching, training and assistance fees, (vi) brokerage revenue generated transactionally on commercial real estate, and (vii) fees from our events and forums.
 
The majority of our revenue is derived from fees and dues based on the number of agents working under the La Rosa Realty brand. Due to the low fixed cost structure of both our Company and franchise models, the addition of new sales agents generally requires little incremental investment in capital or infrastructure. Accordingly, the number of commission producing sales agents in our Company and our franchisees is the most important factor affecting our results of operations and the addition of new agents can favorably impact our revenue and our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Historically, the number of agents in the residential real estate industry has been highly correlated with overall home sale transaction activity. We believe that the number of agents and those that produce commissions in our network is the primary statistic that drives our revenue. Another major factor is the cyclicality of the real estate industry that has peaks and valleys depending on macroeconomic conditions that we cannot control. And finally, our revenues fluctuate based on the changes in the aggregate fee revenue per sales agent as a significant portion of our revenue is tied to various fees that are ultimately tied to the number of agents, including annual dues, continuing franchise fees, and certain transaction or service-based fees. Our revenue per agent also increases in other ways including when transaction sides and transaction sizes increase since a portion of our revenue comes from fees tied to the number and size of real estate transactions closed by our agents.
 
 
28

Key factors affecting our performance
 
As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations may not be comparable to our results of operations in future periods, and our results of operations may not be directly comparable from period to period. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors impacting our results of operations.
 
Inflation

 
The U.S. Federal Reserve continues to take action intended to address sharp increases in inflation. The Federal Reserve Board increased the federal funds rate to a range of 525 to 550 basis points as of July 2023 from a range of 0 to 25 basis points as of the first quarter of 2022. These increases have impacted interest rates, which have significantly contributed to rising mortgage rates. During the second half of 2022, the benchmark 30 year fixed conforming mortgage rate rose above 6% for the first time since 2008, according to Freddie Mac data, and has reached a recent peak of about 8% during the second half of 2023. Consequently, housing demand is softening, prices are flattening, and home sales are declining. In September of 2023, the existing home sales market declined 15.4% compared to September of 2022 according to the National Association of Realtors. This decline had an adverse impact on consumer demand for our services, as consumers weighed the financial implications of selling or purchasing a home. Continuing poor economic and market conditions, including a potential recession, would adversely affect our operating performance and results of operations. 
 
Recent Legal Challenges to Sales Agents’ Commission Structure


Recent developments in the real estate industry have seen increased scrutiny and legal challenges related to the structure of real estate agent commissions. Legal actions and regulatory inquiries have been initiated to examine the fairness, transparency, and potential anticompetitive practices associated with the traditional commission model. Courts and regulatory bodies may be increasingly focused on ensuring transparency in commission structures, potentially leading to reforms that impact the earnings and business models of real estate professionals. Changes in legislation or legal precedents could impact the standard practices of commission-sharing between listing agents and
buyer’s 
agents and may adversely affect our business model and revenues.

 
 
Cybersecurity
 
Our business faces cybersecurity risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition, and reputation. Key factors contributing to cybersecurity risks include, but are not limited to:
 
·
Constantly Evolving Threat Landscape
: The landscape of cybersecurity threats is constantly evolving, with new attack vectors, malware, and vulnerabilities emerging regularly. We may not be able to anticipate or mitigate all potential threats effectively.
·
Data Vulnerability
: We collect, store, and process sensitive customer and corporate data, making us a target for cybercriminals seeking to steal or exploit this information. A data breach could lead to financial and legal liabilities, including regulatory fines and customer trust erosion.
·
Third-Party Risks
: Our reliance on third-party service providers exposes us to risks associated with their cybersecurity practices. A breach or security failure in a third-party system could impact our operations and data.
·
Phishing and Social Engineering
: Employees and individuals connected to our organization may be susceptible to phishing attacks or social engineering tactics that compromise security. Human error or manipulation can lead to breaches.
·
Regulatory Compliance
: We are subject to various data protection and privacy regulations, and non-compliance could result in legal and financial penalties. Adhering to these regulations requires ongoing efforts and resources.
·
Business Interruption
: A cyberattack or system breach may disrupt our operations, affecting our ability to serve customers, fulfill orders, and maintain revenue, resulting in financial losses.
·
Reputation Damage
: A publicized cybersecurity incident can significantly damage our brand and reputation, leading to customer churn and reduced market confidence.
 
Additionally, on July 26, 2023, the SEC adopted new cybersecurity disclosure rules for public companies that require disclosure regarding cybersecurity risk management (including the corporate board’s role in overseeing cybersecurity risks, management’s role and expertise in assessing and managing cybersecurity risks, and processes for assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity risks) in annual reports. These new cybersecurity disclosure rules also require the disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents in a Form 8-K, generally within four days of determining an incident is material. We will be subject to such annual report disclosure requirements starting with our 2024 Form 10-K, and we will be subject to such Form 8-K disclosure requirements starting June 15, 2024.
 
We may at times fail (or be perceived to have failed) in our efforts to comply with our privacy and data security obligations. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third parties on whom we rely on may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact our business operations.
 
Any failure or perceived failure by us or third parties upon whom we rely to comply with obligations, relating to privacy and data security may result in significant consequences including but not limited to governmental investigations and enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspections, and similar), litigation, additional reporting requirements and/or oversight, bans on processing personal data, and orders to destroy or not use personal information.
 
Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, or financial condition, including but not limited to loss of customers; interruptions or stoppages in our business operations; inability to process personal information; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or substantial changes to our business model or operations.


Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on October 4, 2023 describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since the registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on October 4, 2023.

Real Estate Brokerage Services (Residential)
 
Residential real estate services sales revenue increased $175 thousand, or 5%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase of our transaction fee and monthly agent fee effective September 1, 2023, partially offset by a decrease in transaction volume by 14%.
 
Residential real estate services sales revenue decreased $1,045 thousand, or 8%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in residential brokerage transaction volume, which year-to-date was down 14%, which is primarily attributable to a rise in interest rates, partially offset by an increase in agent count of 4%.
 
Franchising Services

Franchising services revenue decreased $18 thousand, or 8%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 and decreased $88 thousand, or 11%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. While our franchisees saw a similar decrease in volume related to the same market conditions in our residential services, our franchise charges are directly related to franchise income, number of agents, as well as other price and volume related fees, which amplified the decrease in franchise revenue.
 
Coaching Services
 
Coaching services revenue increased $18 thousand, or 11%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in an emphasis of our coaching program, which increased our coaching volume, along with additional ancillary coaching services that started at the end of the June 2023. Coaching services revenue decreased $48 thousand, or 9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the reduction in our residential transaction volume.
 
Property Management
 
Property management revenue increased $478 thousand, or 23%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased $1,273 thousand, or 22%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a significant increase in the number of properties under management along with a management fee price increase effective September 1, 2023.

Real Estate Brokerage Services (Residential)
 
Costs related to residential real estate brokerage services decreased $23 thousand, or 1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in costs was primarily due to a reduction in transaction volume. The increase in revenue and decrease in cost of revenue increased the gross margin of the residential real estate brokerage services, reaching 8.4%, which is in the range of our historical results.
 
Costs related to residential real estate brokerage services decreased $1,138 thousand, or 9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which declined proportionality with the decline in related revenue. The decrease in the cost of revenue was greater than the decrease in revenue, which increased our gross margin to 8.1%.
 
Franchising Services
 
During 2023, the Company incurred external software costs that supports the Company’s franchises, which is directly used to manage real estate transactions that generates revenue. The software is classified as a cost of revenue, and the Company expects to continue to use the software for the foreseeable future. The gross profit of franchising services has decreased by about 50% for the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023, which is offset by a decrease in general and administrative costs.
 
Coaching Services
 
Costs related to coaching services increased $20 thousand, or 26%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, and decreased $8 thousand, or 3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Costs related to coaching services moved proportionally with the change in related revenue.
 
Property Management
 
Costs related to property management services increased $516 thousand, or 26%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, and increased $1,263 thousand, or 22%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in property management costs were primarily related to the timing of distributions to property owners as well as the increase in properties under management.

NM: Not Meaningful

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $193 thousand, or 16%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Payroll and benefits decreased primarily due to changes in the executive management team in 2022. Professional fee expenses decreased due to the reduction in indirect costs related to the Company’s efforts to file a registration statement related to the IPO. Technology costs decreased due to Company’s efforts to streamline costs and improve productivity. Insurance, training and other expenses increased due to a prior year credit the Company received in the third quarter of 2022.
 
 
30
 
 
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $498 thousand, or 14%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Sales and marketing costs decreased as the Company worked to improve the efficiency of its marketing spend. Payroll and benefits decreased primarily due to changes in the executive management team in 2022. Rent and occupancy increased as the Company leases its corporate office from an entity owned by the chief executive officer. The rent expense was $118 thousand for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023. During 2022, no rent expense was charged to the Company for its corporate office. There is no written agreement, and the rent is determined on a month-to-month basis. Office costs, technology costs and insurance, training and other costs all decreased due to the Company’s efforts to curtail expenses and improve productivity and efficiency. During 2023, the Company incurred stock-based compensation primarily due to option grants given to the non-management directors of our board of directors.
 

Other Income (Expense), Net
 
Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $74 thousand compared to other expense of $56 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The income in 2023 was due to an IRS employee retention credit received for prior tax years, net of legal costs to obtain the credit, partially offset by amortization of financing fees. The expense in 2022 was primarily due to interest expense related to the convertible debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2021. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2023 declined compared to the third quarter of 2022 due to the exchange of convertible debt and related party debt into Series A Preferred Stock in the first half of fiscal year 2023.


Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $612 thousand compared to other expense, net of $31 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The 2023 expense was due to costs related to the amortization of financing fees related to convertible debt instruments with embedded equity elements issued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 along with an increase in interest expense associated with new debt issuances during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, partially offset by a decrease in the revaluation of the derivative liabilities and the IRS employee retention credit received for prior tax years, net of legal costs to obtain the credit. The 2022 expense was due to costs related to the convertible debt issued in the fourth quarter of 2021, namely, amortization of finance fees, fair market value adjustments of the derivative liability related to the convertible notes, and interest expense on the convertible notes. These additional costs were partially offset by an increase in the forgiveness of debt of $149 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 
On September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had cash of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, on hand. Since 2022, our operations have used cash as we worked toward our IPO and developed our growth strategy. Until such time that we begin receiving a return on our growth strategy, we expect to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future, mostly due to corporate overhead and the costs of being a public company.
 
In order to fund our operations, during the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, we effectuated a number of transactions that significantly increased our liquidity. We issued 1,523 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, raising $1,523,000. On October 12, 2023, we completed our IPO and received net proceeds of $4,360,000 after underwriter discounts, commissions, and expenses. We used the net proceeds to satisfy existing debt and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of approximately $375,000, related party debt of approximately $150,000, and existing accounts payable of $1,000,000. On October 13, 2023 and on October 16, 2023, we acquired controlling interests in two of our franchisees: Horeb Kissimmee Realty, LLC and La Rosa Realty Lake Nona, Inc., for a total consideration of $4,743,127, including $550,000 in cash from the proceeds from our IPO, with the remainder in common stock. The remaining funds are expected to be used to fund our daily operations and to execute our growth strategy.
 
We are subject to the risks and challenges associated with companies at a similar stage of development. These include dependence on key individuals, successful development and marketing of our offerings, and competition with larger companies with greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than us. Furthermore, we may finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or applications or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. We believe that our cash availability and access to financing is sufficient for operations for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report.

TEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item.
 
I
TEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15
(e) 
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
 
32
 
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective
, as we are a newly publicly traded company with limited resources in our finance department, and we are in the process of establishing our procedures around our disclosure controls
.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(t) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

TEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business.
 
On July 14, 2023, a writ of garnishment was issued naming La Rosa Realty, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, as a purported garnishee for an alleged, but not actual, employee or contractor, Marc Cameron, in the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of St. Johns’ County, Florida. On October 31, 2023, the Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the action.
 
On February 13, 2023, Mr. Mark Gracy, who served as our Chief Operating Officer from November 18, 2021 to November 15, 2022, filed a civil lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida, seeking a jury trial and claiming that the Company breached his employment agreement by reducing his salary and failing to pay him his full severance payments and is looking for payment of his alleged severance of $249,000.00. On April 11, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Gracy’s complaint, which is still pending.  
 
On September 5, 2023, Mr. Anthony Freites, who was an alleged independent contractor of La Rosa Realty, LLC from January 13, 2013 until June of 2021, filed an amended complaint in the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida, seeking a jury trial and claiming that the Company breached his contract and is looking for payment of commissions on alleged closed real estate sales as an independent contractor in the amount unspecified but allegedly including actual damages, compensatory damages, attorney’s fees, costs, and prejudgment interest. On October 12, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Freites’ complaint, which is still pending.  
 
The Company believes that the above claims are without merit, and it will vigorously defend against such claims. Moreover, these claims, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business, or results of operations, should the Company’s defense not be successful in whole or in part. Except as stated herein, there is no other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers, threatened against or affecting our Company or our officers or directors in their capacities as such.

 

I
TEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
We may have violated Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act (implementing Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and may be subject to sanctions as a result.
 
Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act provides that it is unlawful for a company that has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to, directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any of its directors or executive officers. From February 2017 to July 2023,  La Rosa Realty, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, provided interest free, due on demand advances to La Rosa Insurance LLC, a company owned by the Company’s chief executive officer, with an outstanding balance of $45,413 as of September 30, 2023, which may be deemed to be personal loans made by us to Mr. La Rosa that are not permissible under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. Issuers that are found to have violated Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act may be subject to civil sanctions, including injunctive remedies and monetary penalties, as well as criminal sanctions.  During the fourth quarter of 2023, upon us completing our IPO, the Compensation Committee reviewed the advance and determined that the existing related party receivable would be charged as part of the Company’s chief executive officer’s annual bonus as specified in his employment agreement.  Notwithstanding, the imposition of any of such sanctions on us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
