Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members

Of Antares Acquisition, LLC

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Antares Acquisition, LLC, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Antares Acquisition, LLC as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Antares Acquisition, LLC and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Antares Acquisition, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 Antares Acquisition, LLC
Notes To Financial Statements
December 31, 2023

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Antares Acquisition, LLC (“the Company”) is a Texas limited liability company. The Company’s operations consist primarily of acquiring developed lots in subdivisions throughout Johnson, Kaufman, Hood, Denton, Ellis, Parker and Tarrant Counties and building single family homes on these lots using standard floor plans ranging from approximately 1,500 to 4,500 square feet. Homes are built in a production environment on both a speculative and a pre-sold basis.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in computing warranty reserve and net realizable value related to inventory. It is at least reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at cost, which is less than or equal to net realizable value. Inventory consists of developed lots, homes under construction, models, and completed homes held for sale. Homes held for sale are classified as inventory until delivered. Inventory costs include lot costs, home construction costs, real estate taxes, and interest related to construction. Common costs prior to construction are typically allocated to individual residential lots on a pro-rata basis, and the costs of residential lots are transferred to construction in progress when home construction begins. Inventory is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded no impairment charges.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenue from homebuilding is recognized at a single point in time upon closing the sale when title to and possession of the home is transferred to the customer. A deposit is received from the customer when a contract is signed, with the remaining transaction price due at the time of closing. Customer deposits are recognized as liabilities. The length of time between when the building of a house commences and the closing occurs does not usually exceed 12 months. Homebuilding revenues are recorded net of incentives. Homebuilding revenues totaled $171,141,738 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Capitalized construction costs are charged to earnings at the time of closing. Construction overhead and selling expenses are expensed as incurred. Sales commissions are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative costs.

Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and depreciated over the estimated useful lives using the straight- line method. The estimated useful life is three years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred, and betterments are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statement of operations. Depreciation expense was $255,067 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Customer Deposits

The Company receives deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. Customer deposits were $1,033,581 and $250,403 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs represent annual renewal fees on the line of credit. These costs are reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of debt. These costs are amortized over the annual renewal period to interest expense using the straight-line method. Amortization recorded to interest expense was $201,170 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $1,917,283 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Warranty Costs

Estimated future warranty costs are charged to cost of sales in the period when the revenues from home closings are recognized. Such estimated warranty costs are accrued as a percentage of the selling price at the time the house closes. Additional warranty costs are charged to cost of sales as necessary based on management’s estimate. Estimated future warranty costs include costs associated with the Limited Warranty provided to the homebuyer and the Company’s potential warranty obligations pursuant to various state laws. The length of the Company’s obligation ranges in time from one to ten years depending on the component of the home warranted.

Income Taxes

The Company does not incur federal income taxes; instead, its earnings are included in the Members’ income tax returns and taxed depending on the Members’ tax situation. The Company incurs Texas State Franchise taxes which are classified as income taxes in the Statement of Operations.

With respect to uncertain tax positions, the Company’s management believes their positions comply with applicable laws and they periodically evaluate exposures associated with tax filing positions. Consequently, no liability is recognized in the accompanying balance sheet for uncertain tax positions. If incurred, penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities are included in penalties or interest expense. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2020.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has elected the consolidation accounting policy not to evaluate qualifying entities under the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance in FASB ASC. Qualifying entities represent certain entities under common control.

Leases

The Company assesses whether an arrangement qualifies as a lease based on if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company assesses at inception and only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the arrangement are changed. The Company’s leases, consisting entirely of operating leases, are recorded on the balance sheet as operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. Only lease options that the Company believes are reasonably certain to exercise are included in the measurement of the lease assets and liabilities. Operating lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the net present value of the lease payments through the lease term. To calculate the net present value, the Company has elected to use the risk-free rate of interest. Right-of-use assets are recognized based on operating lease liabilities. Under the operating lease model, lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected to account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the right of use assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption to all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease expense is recognized in the statement of operations for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its vendors. The Company assesses and monitors each counterparty’s ability to pay amounts owed by considering contractual terms and conditions, the counterparty’s financial condition, macroeconomic factors, and business strategy. The assets exposed to credit losses consist primarily of vendor rebate receivables. Counterparties associated with these assets are generally highly rated. There were no allowances on the aforementioned assets as of December 31, 2023.
