Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have established various accounting policies under US GAAP. Some of these policies involve judgments, assumptions and estimates by management. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, we evaluate the results of these estimates on an ongoing basis. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in our business environment. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies that we deem most critical are as follows:
Revenue Recognition and Cost of Revenue
Land Development Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers ("ASC 606"), establishes principles for reporting information about
the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising
from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The
Company adopted this new standard on
24 Table of Contents
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of our Ballenger project, which was approximately all the revenue of the Company in 2021 and 2020, is as follows:
? Identify the contract with a customer.
The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.
? Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Performance obligations of the company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.
? Determine the transaction price.
The transaction price is specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.
? Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.
Each lot is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.
? Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations once title is transferred.
Rental Revenue Recognition
The Company leases real estate properties to its tenants under leases that are predominately classified as operating leases, in accordance with ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). Real estate rental revenue is comprised of minimum base rent and revenue from the collection of lease termination fees.
Rent from tenants is recorded in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant controls the space and continues through the term of the related lease. Generally, at the end of the lease term, the Company provides the tenant with a one year renewal option, including mostly the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, subject to rent increases.
The Company defers rental revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. These amounts are presented within deferred revenues and other payables on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
25 Table of Contents
Rental revenue is subject to an evaluation for collectability on several
factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any
guarantors, historical operations and operating trends of the property, and
current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates that
it is not probable that we will recover substantially all of the receivable,
rental revenue is limited to the lesser of the rental revenue that would be
recognized on a straight-line basis (as applicable) or the lease payments that
have been collected from the lessee. Differences between rental revenue
recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited
or charged to straight-line rent receivable or straight-line rent liability, as
applicable. For the year ended
Sale of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments
We have established a front foot benefit ("FFB") assessment on all of the NVR
lots. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed in Frederick County which
requires homeowners to reimburse the developer for the costs of installing
public water and sewer to the lots. These assessments become effective as homes
are settled, at which time we can sell the collection rights to investors who
will pay an upfront lump sum, enabling us to more quickly realize the revenue.
The selling prices range from
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Based on our contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. We disclose receivables from contracts with customers separately on the balance sheets.
Cost of Revenue · Cost of Real Estate Sale
All of the costs of real estate sales are from our land development business. Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.
If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project.
· Cost of Rental Revenue
Cost of rental revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with management and leasing fees to our management company, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

Investments in
The Company accounts for its investments in single-family residential properties as asset acquisitions and records these acquisitions at their purchase price. The purchase price is allocated between land, building, improvements and existing leases based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs.
Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 to 27.5 years, respectively, using the straight-line method.
The Company assesses its investments in single-family residential properties for
impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that
carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such events
occur, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the
asset's carrying value with its fair value. Should impairment exist, the asset
is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize any
impairment losses during the years ended
