Vintage Estate Homes and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. | The Company |
Mercedes Premier Homes, LLC, doing business as Vintage Estate Homes (“VEH” or “the Company”), a Florida Limited Liability Company, incorporated on December 15, 2011, principally engages in the marketing, sale and construction of single-family detached and attached homes, generally ranging in sales prices from $250,000 to $800,000 for each home. In addition, the Company engages, or has previously engaged, in developing raw land into residential lots through wholly-owned subsidiaries: Thousand Oaks Development, LLC, Heritage Point Community Developers, LLC, Country Club Lakes Developers, LLC, and Georgiana Community Developers, LLC.
VEH primarily builds in five (5) distinct housing markets in two (2) states, Florida and Texas:
● | Florida – Jacksonville, Melbourne, Orlando | |
● | Texas – Austin, New Braunfels |
The Company has strategically reduced its operation in Jacksonville and Austin during 2021 and 2020.
2. | Date of Management’s Review |
In preparing the financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through July 14, 2021 the date that the financial statements were issued.
3. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VEH and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 810, Consolidations. All intracompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for the fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations and other factors.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies followed by VEH and its subsidiaries in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements is presented below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 and those differences could be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and deposits with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of homes and lots subject to sales contracts, homes and lots (which includes speculative homes and model homes), unsold developed lots, land and development cost for in process land development, and lot deposits. Developed lots are generally “ready to build”, fully developed lots, which are available for vertical construction.
Inventories include the direct costs of land and lot acquisition, home construction, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, and other related direct and indirect overhead costs incurred during development and home construction. Inventory costs include amounts paid through the closing date of the home plus an accrual for estimated costs incurred, but not yet paid, based on an analysis of budgeted (as compared to paid) construction costs. Cost of home sales closed to a buyer are charged to cost of sales on a specific identification basis when the home construction obligation is complete and title passes from the Company to the end third-party homebuyer (“Closing”).
Periodically, management reviews inventory at cost to identify where potential valuation reserves may be needed in order to carry inventory at lower of cost or market. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management determined a valuation reserve for potential impairments is not necessary.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost for individual items with a cost above $500. Repairs and improvements that extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Depreciation is expensed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three (3) to five (5) years. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income.
Customer Deposits
The Company and its subsidiaries’ standard real estate contracts require the homebuyer to provide an earnest money deposit. Cash received from homebuyers prior to closing is recorded as customer deposit liabilities. For homes built on Company owned lots, the Customer Deposits are applied to the purchase price at closing. For homes built on customer lots, the deposits are applied to revenue recognized over the construction period.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. Under ASC 606, a company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services and satisfies performance obligations to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 606, while prior periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards.
The Company applies the following steps in determining the timing and amount of revenue to recognize:
1) identify the contract(s) with a customer
2) identify the performance obligation in the contract
3) determine the transaction price
4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation, if applicable
5) recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied

3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Company Owned Lots
Home sale transactions are made pursuant to contracts under which the Company typically has a single performance obligation to deliver a completed home to the homebuyer when closing conditions are met. For homes built on lots owned by the Company, revenues from home sales are recognized when the performance obligation within the sales contract has been satisfied, which is generally when title to and possession of the home and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the homebuyer on the closing date. Under the home sale contracts, the Company typically receives an initial cash deposit from the homebuyer at the time the sales contract is executed and receive the remaining consideration through a third-party escrow agent, at Closing.
For sales incentives on Company owned lots that involve a discount on the selling price of the home, the Company records the discount as a reduction of revenue at the time of house closing. If the sales incentive requires us to provide a free product or service to the customer, the cost of the free product or service is recorded as cost of revenues at the time of house closing. This includes the cost related to optional upgrades and seller-paid financing costs, closing costs, homeowners’ association fees, or merchandise.
Customer Owned Lots
For homes built on customer owned lots, revenues from home sales are recognized over the construction period as the customer receives the benefits of the contract as construction is being completed. Progress toward completion of the Company’s contracts is measured based the costs incurred under the contacts compared to estimated total costs to be incurred. This method is used because management considers the costs incurred to be the best available measure of the progress on the contracts. These contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating total costs to be incurred, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available.
For sales incentives on customer owned lots that involve a discount on the selling price of the home, the Company records the discount as a reduction of revenue that is recognized over the construction period. If the sales incentive requires us to provide a free product or service to the customer, the cost of the free product or service is recorded as cost of revenues and recognized over the construction period. This includes the cost related to optional upgrades and seller-paid financing costs, closing costs, homeowners’ association fees, or merchandise.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. As a limited liability company, the Company and its subsidiaries have elected to be taxed as a partnership. For tax purposes under this election, the Company and its subsidiaries pass their net income to its members; therefore, these financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. Net income or loss for financial statement purposes may differ from taxable income reported.
Accrued Construction Costs
For each home sale, the Company and its subsidiaries accrue for estimated construction costs where the work has been completed as of the closing date but the costs have not been invoiced and are not included in accounts payable.
4. | Fair Value Measurements |
The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, related party receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, customer deposits, construction lines of credit, notes payable, and subordinated related party debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short period of time to maturity or settlement.

5. | Newly Adopted Accounting Guidance |
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU and its amendments supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, entitled Leases. Under the guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of activities. For nonpublic entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASC 842 beginning on January 1, 2021 and recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $1,206,648 on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021. The Company’s lease agreements impacted by ASC 842 primarily relate to the Company’s office locations and office equipment where the Company is the lessee. The Company determined all applicable agreements would be considered operating leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company to not reassess: (i) whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases; (ii) lease classification of any expired or existing leases; or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and made an accounting policy election to not record leases on the balance sheet with an initial term of 12 months or less. See footnote 15 for disclosure of the impact of adoption of Topic 842.
6. | Revenue |
The Company’s contracts are fixed priced contracts with two methods of recognizing revenue. For homes sold on lots owned by the Company, revenue is recognized at a single point in time, when title and possession of the home are transferred to the homebuyer at a closing. For homes sold on customer owned lots, revenue is recognized over a period of time as the customer controls the home as it constructed. The revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 under these two methods is as follows:
Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Sales, company owned lots | $ | 34,696,815 | $ | 25,117,637 | ||||
Sales, customer owned lots | 4,644,016 | 5,701,589 | ||||||
$ | 39,340,831 | $ | 30,819,226 |
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, $49,070 and $177,538 of total accounts receivable represents contract receivables on completed contracts.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company builds certain homes for buyers through home construction contracts in which the homebuyer owns their respective developed lot (as compared to most home contracts which the Company supplies the developed lot to the homebuyer as part of the home contract). Contract assets and contract liabilities arise from timing differences in the customer cash payments to the Company and home construction progress. Contract assets represent the estimated revenues on home construction contracts in excess of amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to customers in excess of revenues earned and customer deposits. The schedule below summarizes the costs and estimated earnings on contracts in progress:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||

Costs incurred on contracts in progress | $ | 6,296,815 | $ | 6,164,533 | ||||

13. | Deferred Compensation |
The Company adopted the Vintage Estate Homes Restricted Units Plan (the “RU Plan”) in April 2015. The RU Plan was implemented to allow chief executives the opportunity to benefit from the growth in one of the subsidiary companies. The RU Plan grants award recipients a Restricted Unit (“RU”) to receive compensation from the Company based on the increases in the fair market value of the subsidiary named in the Restricted Unit Award Agreement. The RU vests over 5 years while the award recipient has been in continuous employment. The RU also includes a provision that under a change of control it will fully vest.
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has one outstanding award with a grant date of December 31, 2013 for a seven-year RU Award Agreement. The grant award was exercised as of December 31, 2020. The Company has accrued approximately $39,312 in expense related to this grant for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and no expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As the award has not been paid, approximately $831,000 is included in accrued expense and other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not have any other liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 related to the RU Plan.
14. | Related Party Transactions |
Certain related parties have entered into model home sale leaseback transactions at cost.

When the model home is ultimately sold to an unrelated third-party homebuyer, the related party, the Company and its subsidiaries share in any profits and losses. The total lease expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 on model home leases with these affiliates is approximately $15,500 and $55,200, respectively. The total model home sales to related parties is approximately $271,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ share of the profit for the final sales of models to outside parties is a loss of approximately $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company did not have any model home sales or final model home sales in 2021.

15. | Operating Leases |
The Company and its subsidiaries lease various office space under lease agreements with varying termination dates through September 2028. Total expenses related to these leases amounted to approximately $119,000 and $68,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company primarily enters into operating leases for the right to use office space and computer and office equipment, which have remaining lease terms that range from one to eight years and often include one or more options to renew. The weighted average remaining lease term as of March 31, 2021 was 7.0 years. Renewal terms are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.
The Company established a right-of-use asset and a lease liability based on the present value of future minimum lease payments at the later of January 1, 2021, the commencement date of the lease, or, if subsequently modified, the date of modification for active leases. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future minimum payments as of the commencement date. The weighted average discount rate as of March 31, 2021 was 5.9%. Lease components and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $1,134,001 and $1,188,187 recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability, respectively, which are presented on the consolidated balance sheet within right-of-use asset and lease liability, respectively.

16. | Advertising Expense |
The Company and its subsidiaries attract initial interest in its homes through a comprehensive advertising program using media such as newspapers, direct mail, telemarketing, promotions, internet, and to a lesser extent, radio. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, aggregated approximately $86,000 and $115,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying financial statements.
17. | Employee Benefits |
During 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries implemented the Vintage Estate Homes 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 100% of their compensation on a before-tax-basis annually, subject to maximum contribution limits established by federal law. The Company and its subsidiaries match 100% of the employee contributions up to 4% of their compensation. Employees are vested in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ matching contributions over 6 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the employee contributions totaled approximately $48,800 and $40,600, respectively, and the Company and its subsidiaries contributions totaled approximately $35,010 and $23,510, respectively.
18. | Concentration of Credit Risk |
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures all deposits up to a $250,000 limit. The Company and its subsidiaries are uninsured by the FDIC for excess deposits in several bank accounts with various financial institutions which has in excess of the $250,000 insurable deposit limit. The amount of credit exposure in excess of the federally insured limits is $6,696,947 and $7,481,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and do not believe they are exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents.
19. | Income Taxes |
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Company will record a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position would not be sustained if examined by the taxing authority. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
The Company’s evaluation on March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. State franchise tax returns are subject to an audit for a period of four (4) years. Management does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve (12) months that will have a material impact on the financial statements.
Franchise Taxes:
Texas franchise taxes are computed under the provisions of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Texas subsidiaries have accrued state income tax liabilities of $54,000. The Company did not expense any state income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Texas subsidiaries do not have deferred income tax liabilities or assets.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Company and its subsidiaries are taxed as a partnership and, therefore, no provision for Federal Income Taxes is necessary in the accounts, since such taxes are the liabilities of the individual members, not the Company and its subsidiaries.

20. | Contingencies |
The Company is named as a defendant in four lawsuits as of March 31, 2021. The Company has accrued $150,000 related to a complaint for a sale of an incomplete house where a judgement was reached in arbitration. The Company has filed an appeal to the judgement; however, the court has not addressed the appeal.
In 2020, the Company accrued approximately $90,000 for a construction defect claim in which an award was granted in arbitration, but the Company has not paid the outstanding claim amount. The Company is in the process of determining whether an appeal would result in a favorable outcome.
For the other two cases, the outcome of the lawsuits is not determinable at this time and a range of possible loss estimate cannot be reliably determined. It is the opinion of management in consultation with outside counsel that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company.
21. | Subsequent Events |
On May 4, 2021, all the outstanding membership interests of the Company were acquired by Landsea Homes US Corp (Landsea) for $54.6 million.
In May 2021, the judgement regarding the complaint for the sale of an incomplete house was vacated by the court. As the house is incomplete, the Company and the homebuyer need to reach a resolution in this matter. Management has maintained the reserve for $150,000.
