Antares Acquisition, LLC

Notes To Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 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 net revenues were $42,655,893 and $39,226,753 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

 

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 $108,339 and $56,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

 

Customer Deposits

 

The Company receives customer deposits on sold but undelivered homes, resulting in contract liabilities. Outstanding customer deposits were $1,025,137 and $1,033,581 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s home sales are scheduled to close and be recorded to revenue within one year from the date of receiving a customer deposit.

 

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 $0 and $69,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $334,372 and $526,861 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

 

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
