This Form 1-SA and any documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this Form 1-SA are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current reasonable expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 1-SA and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein are based on reasonable assumptions the Company has made in light of its industry experience, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Form 1-SA, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual operating and financial performance and cause its performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect or change, the Company’s actual operating, and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements.

 

For more information regarding the risks and uncertainties that we face, you should refer to the “Risk Factors” detailed in the Post-Qualification Amendment No. 12 to the offering statement on Form 1-A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and originally qualified on January 10, 2022 (the “Offering Statement”), as may be amended, and in our subsequent reports and offering statements filed from time to time with the Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 1-SA or any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein speak only as of the date of this Form 1-SA. Factors or events that could cause our actual operating and financial performance to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

MASTER SERIES TABLE

 

The Company is managed by RSE Innovation Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), a single member Delaware limited liability company formed on May 20, 2020, which is owned by Rally Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the asset manager for the certain Underlying Assets comprising the collection of Innovation Assets (as defined below) owned by the Company and each series (“Rally Holdings”). The Company’s core business is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of certain assets anticipated to generate revenue streams, collectively referred to as “Innovation Assets” or the “Asset Class,” for the benefit of the investors. All of the series of the Company shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Series” and the assets and liabilities of each Series will be separate in accordance with Delaware law. The interests of all Series shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Interests” and a purchaser of Interests in any Series (an “Investor”) will be entitled to share in the return of that particular Series but will not be entitled to share in the return of any other Series. The offerings of the Interests shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Offerings.” There will be a separate Closing with respect to each Offering (each, a “Closing”). The Series assets referenced below shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Underlying Assets.” Certain Series have engaged DomainX, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“DomainX”), as the Asset Manager for the Underlying Assets owned by such Series, as noted in the Master Series Table below.

ITEM 1.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Overview

The Company’s core business is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of certain assets anticipated to generate revenue streams, collectively referred to as the “Innovation Assets” or the “Asset Class”, for the benefit of the investors. The Company’s mission is to leverage technology and design, modern business models influenced by the sharing economy, and advancements in the financial regulatory environment to democratize the Asset Class. The Company aims to provide enthusiasts with access to the market by enabling them to create a diversified portfolio of equity Interests in the highest quality Innovation Assets through a seamless investment experience on the Platform. The Manager may maintain Free Cash Flow funds in a deposit account or an investment account for the benefit of the Series. With respect to secondary market transactions in Interests, the Platform serves as the user interface by which Investors submit orders to buy or sell Interests on the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System (the “PPEX ATS”), which is owned and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation. The Platform then immediately and automatically routes those orders to those orders (i) to Dalmore Group, LLC (when acting in connection with secondary market transactions of interests, the “Executing Broker”), and (ii) by virtue of the Executing Broker’s status as a member of the PPEX ATS and the Tools License Agreement between Rally Holdings and the Executing Broker, to the PPEX ATS. The Platform does not connect Investors to any venue for secondary market transactions other than the PPEX ATS. For a full description of the Platform’s limited role in secondary trading, see the “Description of the Business – Liquidity Platform” section in Post-Qualification Amendment No. 12 to the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A filed with the Commission on September 4, 2024.

 

We believe that collectors and dealers interested in selling their Innovation Assets will benefit from greater liquidity, significantly lower transaction costs and overhead, and a higher degree of transparency as compared to traditional methods of transacting Innovation Assets. Auction and consignment models may include upwards of ~20% of asset value in transaction costs, as well as meaningful overhead in terms of asset preparation, shipping and marketing costs, and time value. The Company thus aims to align the interests of buyers and sellers, while opening up the market to a significantly larger number of participants than was previously possible, thereby driving market appropriate valuations and greater liquidity.

 

Trends Affecting Our Business

Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors, including conditions in the financial markets and the economic and political environments, particularly in the United States. Global economic conditions, including political environments, financial market performance, interest rates, credit spreads or other conditions beyond our control are unpredictable and could negatively affect the value of the Underlying Assets, our ability to acquire and manage Innovation Assets, and the success of our current and future Offerings. In addition to the aforementioned macroeconomic trends, we believe the following factors will influence our future performance:

 

·We have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. We have devoted substantially all our efforts to establishing our business and principal operations, which commenced in 2020. Our short operating history may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives and makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. During the Current Period, no free cash flow distributions were made and no management fee was distributed. 

·We are in large part reliant on Rally Holdings and its employees to grow and support our business. The successful operation of the Company (and therefore, the success of the Interests) is in part dependent on the ability of the Manager and Rally Holdings to source and acquire the Underlying Assets and to maintain the Platform, and on the Asset Manager for each Series (whether Rally Holdings, DomainX, or another person) to manage the Underlying Assets. As the Manager and Rally Holdings have been in existence only since March 2021 and October 2020, respectively, and are early-stage startup companies, they have limited operating history. Further, while Rally Holdings will also be the Asset Manager for series of RSE Collection,  


5



LLC and RSE Archive, LLC, series limited liability companies with a similar business model in different asset classes, and thus has some similar management experience, its experience is limited, and it has limited experience selecting or managing assets in the Asset Class. DomainX has been in existence since 2020, and though it has operated in the business of domain name brokerage, sales, investment, monetization, and management since then, there can be no guarantee that it will achieve positive results of operations for the Company or the Series for which it serves as Asset Manager. Furthermore, there are a number of key factors that will potentially impact our operating results going forward including the ability of the Asset Manager to:

 

ocontinue to source high quality Innovation Assets at reasonable prices to securitize through the Platform;  

omarket the Platform and the Offerings in individual Series of the Company and attract Investors to the Platform to acquire the Interests issued by Series of the Company;  

ofind and retain operating partners to support the regulatory and technology infrastructure necessary to operate the Platform;  

ocontinue to develop the Platform and provide the information and technology infrastructure to support the issuance of Interests in Series of the Company; and  

ofind operating partners to manage the collection of Underlying Assets at a decreasing marginal cost per asset.  

 

·Over the last several years, there has been a significant increase in new company creation that has ultimately resulted in a large increase in domain name registrations and after market transactions. This increase led to a material increase in premium .com domain name valuations. Starting at the beginning of the second quarter of 2022, this growth and appreciation has since declined and is expected to continue to decline in the short to mid-term. 

·With the continued increase in popularity of the Asset Class, we expect competition for Innovation Assets to intensify in the future. Although our business model is uncommon in the Asset Class, there is potentially significant competition for the Underlying Assets, which the Company securitizes through its Offerings, from many different market participants. While the majority of transactions continue to be peer-to-peer with very limited public information, other market players such as dealers and auction houses continue to play a prominent role. There are also competing start-up models to facilitate shared ownership of Innovation Assets developing in the industry, which will result in additional competition for Innovation Assets. 

·We may be negatively impacted by volatility in the political and economic environment, and a period of sustained inflation across the markets in which we operate could result in higher operating costs. Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions have and may continue to substantially change in the future, and credit markets have and may continue to experience periods of constriction and variability. These conditions have impacted and may continue to impact our business. Further, ongoing inflation has impacted and may continue to negatively impact our business and increase our costs. Sustained inflation across the markets in which we operate has tended to, and could continue to negatively affect any attempts to mitigate the increases to our costs. Market factors may influence real estate valuations, real estate financing or the economic performance of real estate generally. In addition, the effects of inflation on consumers’ budgets could result in the reduction of potential Investors’ spending and investing habits. If RSE Markets, the Asset Manager (whether Rally Holdings, DomainX, or another entity), the Manager or we are unable to take actions to effectively mitigate the effect of the resulting higher costs, their and/or our financial position could be negatively impacted. 

·Our business model relies on the availability of the exemption from registration provided by Tier 2 of Regulation A. Under our business model, we must receive qualification under Tier 2 of Regulation A from the Commission with respect to each Offering of Series Interests. The qualification process has been and may continue to be subject to unanticipated delays, especially if our filings with the Commission are reviewed in full by the staff of the Commission. 

 

At the time of this filing all of the Series designated as closed in the Master Series Table have commenced operations, are capitalized and have assets and various Series have liabilities. All assets and liabilities related to the Series described in the Master Series Table are the responsibility of the Series from the time of the Closing of the respective Offerings.

Investments in Underlying Assets

We provide investment opportunities in Innovation Assets to Investors through the Platform. Innovation Assets are financed through various methods including loans from affiliates of the Manager or other third parties when we purchase an Underlying Asset prior to the Closing of an Offering, and through purchase option agreements or consignment agreements negotiated with third parties or affiliates when we finance the purchase of an Underlying Asset with the proceeds of an Offering. Additional information can be found below and in the Master Series Table. We typically acquire Underlying Assets through the following methods.

·Upfront purchase – the Company or a Series acquires an Underlying Asset from an Asset Seller prior to the launch of the Offering related to the Series. 

·Purchase agreement – the Company or a Series enters into an agreement with an Asset Seller to acquire an Underlying Asset, which may expire prior to the Closing of the Offering for the related Series, in which case the Company is obligated to acquire the Underlying Asset prior to the Closing. 

·Purchase option agreement – the Company or a Series enters into a purchase option agreement with an Asset Seller, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Underlying Asset. 

·Consignment agreement – the Company or a Series enters into a consignment agreement with an Asset Seller, which gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Underlying Asset and under which the Company takes possession of the Underlying Asset during a consignment period. 

We received multiple loans or payments from various parties to support the financing of the acquisition of the Underlying Assets for which the details are listed in the tables below. Such payments or loans have been or will be repaid from the proceeds of successful Series’ initial Offering. Upon completion of the Offering of each of the Series of Interests, each of the Series shall acquire their respective Underlying Assets for the aggregate consideration consisting of cash and Interests as the Manager may determine in its reasonable discretion in accordance with the disclosures set forth in these Series’ Offering documents. In various instances, as noted in the tables below, the Asset Seller is issued Interests in a particular Series as part of the total purchase consideration to the Asset Seller. In addition, there are instances where the Company finances an acquisition through the proceeds of the Offering, as in the case of a purchase option, and therefore requires no additional financing or only financing to make an initial down payment, as the case may be.

The Company incurred the “Acquisition Expenses,” which include costs relating to the authentication and verification of the Underlying Asset, identification fees, and other costs detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy, listed in the tables below, the majority of which are capitalized into the purchase prices of the various Underlying Assets. Acquisition Expenses such as interest expense on a loan to finance an acquisition or marketing expenses related to the promotional materials created for an Underlying Asset are not capitalized. The Acquisition Expenses are generally initially funded by the Manager or its affiliates but will be reimbursed with the proceeds from an Offering related to such Series to the extent described in the applicable Offering documents. In the event that certain Acquisition Expenses are anticipated prior to the Closing of an Offering but are incurred only after the Closing, for example identification fees related to the Underlying Asset, additional cash from the proceeds of the Offering will be retained on the Series balance sheet to cover such future anticipated Acquisition Expenses after the Closing of the Offering.

In addition to acquiring Underlying Assets, from time to time the Company receives take-over offers for certain Underlying Assets. Per the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the Company, together with the Manager and the Manager’s Advisory Board evaluates the offers and determines if it is in the interest of the Investors to sell the Underlying Asset. In evaluating the offers, the Manager also considers the preference of Investors in the related Series as expressed by the nonbinding voting results of a poll of such Investors on the question whether to sell the Underlying Asset. In certain instances, the Company may decide to sell an Underlying Asset that is on the books of the Company but not yet transferred to a particular Series, because no Offering has yet occurred. In these instances, the anticipated Offering related to such Underlying Assets will be cancelled.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company and each Series finance their business activities through capital contributions from the Manager or its affiliates and from members to the individual Series. Until such time as any Series has the capacity to generate income, cash flows from operations, or excess proceeds from Offerings, the Manager may cover any


11



deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Interests in any individual Series. In addition, parts of the proceeds of future Offerings for individual Series may be used to create reserves for future Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses of our accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) for individual Series once the Offerings are closed at the sole discretion of the Manager.

 

During the Current Period, Series #URL2, Series #URL1 and Series #URL5 generated net income and have sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances as of June 30, 2024 to fund their operations and continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months following the date of this filing. The Offering for Series #MANTLE319 generated excess cash such that Series #MANTLE319 will also have sufficient cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 to fund its operations and continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months following the date of this filing.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company is reliant on the Manager or its affiliates to finance its activities through capital contributions. The Company does also not expect to generate any income or cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the Manager or RSE Markets, Inc. will continue or have the ability to fund operations or provide financial support to the Company. If the Company does not continue to obtain financing from the Manager or RSE Markets, Inc. it will be unable to pay its obligations as they come due. As a result, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of this filing.

The Company generated revenues directly attributable to certain Series. The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as described in Note D – Revenue, Expense, and Cost Allocation Methodology). Each Series will continue to incur Operating Expense (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses) including, but not limited to professional fees, on an ongoing basis.

Cash on the books of each Series is reserved for funding of post-Closing Operating Expenses. During the Current Period, the Manager paid for the Operating Expenses related to the Company and any Series that has closed Offerings and elected not to be reimbursed. When the Manager pays for certain Operating Expenses related to a Series that have closed Offerings and elects not to be reimbursed, these payments are accounted for as capital contributions and are further described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses.

 

 

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent Balances

 

As of the end of each of the Current Period and the Prior Year, the Company and the Series for which Closings had occurred, had total cash or cash equivalents balances as set forth below (see Consolidated Balance Sheets for details of each Series’ cash or cash equivalent balances for the Current and Prior Year):

Cash and Cash Equivalent Balance

Total Series Cash and Cash Equivalent Balance

-   

Total Cash Balance

$ 52,332   

$ 51,935   

 

 

Note: Only includes Series for which an Offering has closed. RSE Innovation cash balance represents loans or capital contributions to be used for future payment of Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses of our accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

 

From time to time, Rally Holdings, affiliates of the Manager or third parties may make non-interest-bearing payments or loans to the Company to acquire an Underlying Asset prior to the Closing of an Offering for the respective Series. In such cases, the respective Series would repay any such non-interest-bearing payments or loans used to


12



acquire its respective Underlying Asset with proceeds generated from the Closing of the Offering for Interests of such Series.   No Series will have any obligation to repay a loan incurred by the Company to purchase an Underlying Asset for another Series.

 

See “Note A – Description of Organization and Business Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” of our accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

RSE Innovation, LLC (the “Company,” “RSE Innovation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed on May 20, 2020. The Company’s core business is the identification, acquisition, marketing and management of certain assets anticipated to generate revenue streams, collectively referred to as “Innovation Assets” or the “Asset Class,” for the benefit of the investors. The Company is wholly owned and managed by RSE Innovation Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”). The Manager is a single-member Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by Rally Holdings LLC (“Rally Holdings”). Rally Holdings is a single-member Delaware limited liability company wholly owned by RSE Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RSE Markets”). RSE Markets was the manager of the Company and served as the asset manager until March 26, 2021, at which point RSE Innovation Manager, LLC and Rally Holdings replaced RSE Markets as Manager and Asset Manager, respectively. Rally Holdings is a technology and marketing company that operates the Rally Rd.™ platform (the “Platform”) and manages the Company, through the Manager, and the assets owned by certain series of the Company in its role as the asset manager of each Series. DomainX, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“DomainX”) serves as asset manager with respect to Series #URL5 and Series #URL6. The relevant asset manager of each series is at times referred to herein as the “Asset Manager.”

The Company issues membership interests (the “Interests”) in a number of separate individual series (each, a “Series”) of the Company (each, an “Offering”). There will be a separate closing with respect to each Offering (each, a “Closing”). Each Series will own a unique Innovation Asset (an “Underlying Asset”) and the assets and liabilities of each Series will be separate in accordance with Delaware law. A purchaser of Interests (an “Investor”) in any Series acquires a proportional share of assets, liabilities, profits, and losses as they pertain to a particular Series, and the sole assets and liabilities of any given Series at the time of an Offering related to that particular Series is a single Underlying Asset (plus any cash reserves for future Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses) as well as certain liabilities related to expenses pre-paid by Rally Holdings. Any individuals, dealers or auction company which owns an Underlying Asset prior to a purchase of an Underlying Asset by the Company in advance of a potential Offering or the Closing of an Offering from which proceeds are used to acquire the Underlying Asset are referred to as “Asset Sellers.” “Current Period” refers to the time period between January 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024. “Prior Period” refers to the time period between January 1, 2023 and June 30, 2023. “Prior Year” refers to the time period between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023.

All voting rights, except as specified in the Operating Agreement or required by law, remain with the Manager (e.g., determining the type and quantity of general maintenance and other expenses required for the appropriate upkeep of each Underlying Asset, determining how to best commercialize the applicable Underlying Assets, evaluating potential sale offers and the liquidation of a Series). The Manager manages the ongoing operations of each Series in accordance with the Operating Agreement.

OPERATING AGREEMENT

General:

In accordance with the Operating Agreement, each Investor in a Series grants a power of attorney to the Manager. The Manager has the right to appoint officers of the Company and each Series.

 

Operating Expenses:

After the Closing of an Offering, each Series is responsible for its own Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses). Prior to the Closing, Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager or Rally Holdings and not reimbursed by the economic members of a particular Series. Should post-Closing Operating Expenses exceed revenues or cash reserves, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the Series and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the Series (the “Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation(s)”), on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a rate of interest, and/or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in order to cover such additional amounts, which Interests may be issued to existing or new Investors, and may include the Manager or its affiliates or the Asset Manager.

Fees:

Sourcing Fee: The Manager expects to receive a fee, as determined by the Manager, at the Closing of each successful Offering for its services of sourcing the Underlying Assets (the “Sourcing Fee”), which may be waived by the Manager in its sole discretion. The amount of the maximum Sourcing Fee is determined by the Manager in its sole discretion and generally is calculated by reference to the difference between the Manager's estimate of the fair market value of the Underlying Asset at or prior to the time of an Offering (which estimate is based on the Manager's experience with assets in the same or a similar asset class, the value of comparable assets and other factors) and the purchase price that the Manager negotiated for the acquisition of the Underlying Asset. Any amount paid to the Manager as the Sourcing Fee in connection with an Offering is not capitalized as a cost of the related Underlying Asset but is instead recorded as a cost of the Offering.

 

Brokerage Fee:  With respect to Offerings, the broker of record (the “BOR”) received a fee (the “Brokerage Fee”) of 1.0% of the cash proceeds from the Offering for facilitating the sale of securities.

 

Custody Fee: Throughout the Prior Year, the custodian of Interests (the “Custodian”) was DriveWealth, LLC (“DriveWealth”). With respect to Offerings for which DriveWealth served as Custodian, DriveWealth received a fee equal to the greater of (i) 0.75% on Interests sold in an Offering and (ii) $500 (the “Custody Fee”). NCPS became the Custodian beginning January 2, 2024. NCPS, as Custodian, will not receive any compensation directly related to the Offering of any particular Series, but will instead receive an account opening fee and annual account maintenance fee with respect to each individual Investor.

 

Free Cash Flow Distributions:

At the discretion of the Manager, a Series may make distributions of Free Cash Flow (as described in Note E – Free Cash Flow Distributions and Management Fees) to both the holders of economic Interests in the form of a dividend and the Manager in the form of a Management Fee (as described in Note E – Free Cash Flow Distributions and Management Fees).

 

In the case that Free Cash Flow (as described in Note E – Free Cash Flow Distributions and Management Fees) is available for distribution and such distributions are made, at the sole discretion of the Manager, the Investors will receive no less than 50% of Free Cash Flow available for distribution and the Manager will receive up to 50% of Free Cash Flow available for distribution in the form of a Management Fee (as described in Note E – Free Cash Flow Distributions and Management Fees) for management of the applicable Underlying Asset. The Management Fee is accounted for as an expense to the relevant Series rather than a distribution from Free Cash Flow.

 

Success Fee

Upon the sale of an Underlying Asset associated with a Series whose initial Offering commenced on or after January 1, 2023, if the Capital Proceeds, as defined in the Operating Agreement, are greater than an amount equal to 110% of the Offering Amount of the Series, as defined in the Operating Agreement, then the Asset Manager shall be entitled to be paid by the Series an amount (the “Success Fee”) calculated as follows: 

·If the Capital Proceeds are equal to an amount greater than 110% of the Offering Amount of the related Series but less than or equal to 120% of the Offering Amount of such Series, then the Success Fee shall be an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which the Capital Proceeds exceed 110% of the Offering Amount; or  

·If the Capital Proceeds are equal to an amount greater than 120% of the Offering Amount of the related Series, then the Success Fee shall be an amount equal to the sum of one percent (1%) of the Offering Amount plus twenty percent (20%) of the amount by which the Capital Proceeds exceed 120% of the Offering Amount.  

 

The Asset Manager may, in its sole discretion, waive any or all of the Success Fee.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

 

Historically, the Company and the Series finance their business activities through capital contributions from the Manager or its affiliates and from members to the individual Series. Until such time as any Series has the capacity to generate income, cash flows from operations, or excess proceeds from Offerings, the Manager may cover any deficits through additional capital contributions or the issuance of additional Interests in any individual Series. In addition, parts of the proceeds of future Offerings may be used to create reserves for future Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses) for individual Series once the Offerings are closed at the sole discretion of the Manager.

 

During the Current Period, Series #URL2, Series #URL1 and Series #URL5 generated net income and have sufficient cash and cash equivalent balances as of June 30, 2024 to fund their operations and continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months following the date of this filing. The Offering for Series #MANTLE319 generated excess cash such that Series #MANTLE319 will also have sufficient cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 to fund its operations and continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months following the date of this filing.

 

As of the end of the Current Period, the Company is reliant on the Manager or its affiliates to finance its activities through capital contributions. The Company does also not expect to generate any income or cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the Manager or RSE Markets, Inc. will continue or have the ability to fund operations or provide financial support to the Company. If the Company does not continue to obtain financing from the Manager or RSE Markets, Inc. it will be unable to pay its obligations as they come due. As a result, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of this filing.

 

The Company generated revenues directly attributable to certain Series. The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as described in Note D – Revenue, Expense and Cost Allocation Methodology). Each Series will continue to incur Operating Expense (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses) including, but not limited to professional fees, on an ongoing basis.

 

Cash on the books of the Company is reserved for funding future pre-Closing Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses) or Acquisition Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Capital Assets), as the case may be. Cash on the books of each Series is reserved for funding of post-Closing Operating Expenses. During the Current Period, the Manager paid for the Operating Expenses related to the Company and any Series that has closed Offerings and elected not to be reimbursed. When the Manager pays for certain Operating Expenses related to a Series that have closed Offerings and elects not to be reimbursed, these payments are accounted for as capital contributions and are further described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses.

 

INITIAL OFFERINGS

 

All Series for which a closing had occurred as of the date of the financial statements that had commenced operations were capitalized and had assets. Additionally, various Series have liabilities. The table outlined in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Members’ Equity outlines all Offerings for which a Closing has occurred during the Current Period and the Prior Period.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1.Basis of Presentation 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Any Offerings that have closed as of the date of the financial statements were conducted in accordance with Tier 2 of Regulation A and qualified under an Offering Statement. Upon the closing of a Series Offering, separate financial statements are presented for each such Series and each is consolidated in the financial statements of the Company after eliminating inter-company balances and transactions. In cases where an Underlying Asset is transferred to the Series in advance of the launching of the related Offering, as in the case of Series #MANTLE319 (see Note C – Related Party Transactions of our accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), separate financial statements are presented for such Series before the closing of the related Offering. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.

 

2.Use of Estimates: 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near-term due to one or more future confirming events.  Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

 

3.Cash and Cash Equivalents: 

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, or otherwise acquired, to be cash equivalents.

 

4.Accounts Receivable: 

 

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables from customers. We record accounts receivable at its net realizable value, recognizing an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of expected credit losses on our existing accounts receivable. Balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the possibility of recovery is considered remote. The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326 requires an estimation of expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument, taking into consideration historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management has reviewed comprehensive historical data, any relevant economic indicator, and estimated our estimated credit loss based off these probabilities. As of the end of the Current Period and Prior Period, we recorded consolidated accounts receivable, net allowance for doubtful accounts as below:

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Offering expenses (the “Offering Expenses”) related to the Offering for a specific Series consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, escrow, compliance, filing and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to a proposed Offering and will generally be charged to members’ equity upon the completion of the proposed Offering. Expenses that are incurred prior to the Closing of an Offering for such Series that are funded by the Manager and will generally be reimbursed through the proceeds of the Offering related to the Series. However, the Manager has agreed to pay and not be reimbursed for Offering Expenses incurred with respect to the Offerings for all Series that have had a Closing as of the date of the financial statements and potentially other future Offerings.

6.Operating Expenses: 

 

Operating Expenses (as described below) related to a particular Underlying Asset include asset verification, storage, marketing costs, maintenance, utilities, insurance, property tax (other than the initial transportation from the Underlying Asset’s location to the Manager’s storage facility prior to the Offering, which is treated as an Acquisition Expense (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Capital Assets), cloud storage, bookkeeping and accounting fees, custodial fees and other Underlying Asset specific expenses as detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy, together the “Operating Expenses”.  We distinguish between pre-Closing and post-Closing Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Except as disclosed with respect to any future Offering, expenses of this nature that are incurred prior to the Closing of an Offering of Series of Interests, are funded by the Manager and are not reimbursed by the Company, the Series or economic members. Expenses in this case are treated as capital contributions from the Manager to the Company or Series and are summarized in the table below.

7.Capital Assets: 

 

Underlying Assets are recorded at cost. The cost of the Underlying Assets includes the purchase price, including any deposits for the Underlying Asset funded by the Manager, capitalized costs which include capitalized improvement costs and “Acquisition Expenses,” which include acquisition costs for pre-purchase inspection, pre-Offering refurbishment, or other costs as detailed in the Manager’s allocation policy.

 

The Company treats Underlying Assets as collectible and, therefore the Company will not depreciate or amortize the Underlying Assets going forward. The Underlying Assets are considered long-lived assets as well as indefinite lived intangible assets and will be subject to an annual test for impairment. These Underlying Assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the fair value of the asset. An impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges during the Current Period or the Prior Period.

 

The Underlying Assets are initially purchased by the Company, either prior to launching an Offering or through the exercising of a purchase option simultaneous with the Closing of an Offering for a particular Series. At Closing of an Offering for a Series of Interests the Underlying Assets, including capitalized Acquisition Expenses, are then transferred to the Series, unless an Underlying Asset is transferred to the Series in advance for the launching of an Offering, as in the case of Series #MANTLE319. Underlying Assets are transferred at cost less any impairment, and the Company receives cash from the Series from the proceeds of the Offering. The Company uses the proceeds of the transfer to pay off any debt or amounts owed under purchase options and Acquisition Expenses. Acquisition Expenses related to a particular Series, which are incurred prior to the Closing of an Offering are initially funded by the Manager but will be reimbursed with the proceeds from an Offering related to such Series, to the extent described in the applicable Offering document. The Company does, however, retain additional cash from the proceeds of the Offering on the Series balance sheet to cover Acquisition Expenses that are anticipated prior to the Closing but incurred after the Closing of an Offering. Acquisition Expenses are capitalized into the cost of the Underlying Asset as per the table below. The Series uses the remaining cash to repay any accrued interest on loans or marketing expenses related to the preparation of the marketing materials for a particular Offering, by distributing the applicable amount to the Company, accounted for as “Distribution to RSE Innovation” on the balance sheet. Furthermore, the Series distributes the appropriate amounts for Brokerage Fee, the Custody Fee and, if applicable, the Sourcing Fee using cash from the Offering. Should a proposed Offering prove to be unsuccessful, the Company will not reimburse the Manager and these expenses will be accounted for as capital contributions, and the Acquisition Expenses will be expensed.

The Company, through non-interest-bearing payments from the Manager or loans from officers of the Manager and third parties, has acquired Underlying Assets since the beginning of the Prior Period.

7.Members’ Equity: 

 

Members’ equity for the Company and any Series consists of Membership Contributions, Capital Contributions, Distributions and Retained Earnings / (Accumulated Deficit).

 

Membership Contributions are made to a Series from a successful Closing of an Offering and are calculated by taking the amount of Interests sold in an Offering, net of Brokerage Fee, Custody Fee and Sourcing Fee as shown in the table below. In the case of a particular Offering, the Brokerage Fee, the Custody Fee and Sourcing Fee (which may be waived by the Manager) related to the Offering are paid from the proceeds of the successfully closed Offering. These expenses will not be incurred by the Company, the applicable Series or the Manager, if an Offering does not close as of the end of the Current Period. The Interests that are issued by each individual Series do not provide the investors with any voting rights in the Series other than those detailed in the Company’s Operating Agreement. All of the control and operating decisions relating to the operations of a Series are held by the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement.

 

Capital Contributions are made by the Manager to cover Operating Expenses for which the Manager has elected not to be reimbursed. In addition, in the case of a Closing for which a deficiency of offering proceeds over the required cash outlays exists, the Manager will make an additional capital contribution to the Series to cover any such deficiencies.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

8.Income taxes: 

 

Each Series has elected and qualifies to be taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and the Company intends that each future Series will elect and qualify to be taxed as a corporation under the Code.  Each separate Series intends to be accounted for as described in ASC Topic 740,” Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. There were no uncertain tax positions as of the end of the Current Period.

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes and will not make any election or take any action that could cause it to be separately treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code. Therefore, the Company is a pass-through entity and is not a tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes. Instead, the member is liable for income tax on its respective shares of taxable income.

 

9.Earnings (loss) / income per membership Interest: 

 

Upon completion of an Offering, each Series intends to comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." For each Series, earnings (loss) / income per membership interest (“EPMI”) will be computed by dividing net (loss) / income for a particular Series by the weighted average number of outstanding Interests in that particular Series during the period.

 

10.Recently adopted accounting guidance: 

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Topic 326 requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of many financial assets. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model, applies to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments, financial guarantees, and net investments in leases, as well as trade receivables.

 

The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023 and there was no material impact to the financial statements.

From time to time, affiliates of the Manager and their individual officers may make loans to the Company to facilitate the purchase of Underlying Assets prior to the Closing of a Series’ Offering.  It is anticipated that each of the loans and related interest will be paid by the Company through proceeds of the Offering associated with a Series. Because the Series will repay the Company and other parties, such as the Manager, the BOR and the Custodian and their respective affiliates, from the proceeds of a closed Offering, it is anticipated that no Series will bear the economic effects of any loan made to purchase another Underlying Asset. There were no loans from affiliates of the Manager during the Current Period and the Prior Period.

 

From time to time Rally Holdings, affiliates of the Manager or third parties may make non-interest-bearing loans to the Company to acquire an Underlying Asset prior to the Closing of an Offering for the respective Series. In such cases, the respective Series would repay any such non-interest-bearing loans used to acquire its respective Underlying Asset with proceeds generated from the Closing of the Offering for Interests of such Series. No Series will have any obligation to repay a loan incurred by the Company to purchase an Underlying Asset for another Series.

 

Transfer of Series #MANTLE319

 

During the Prior Period, ownership of a Series containing an Underlying Asset with a total carrying value of $176,369 that was initially purchased by RSE Portfolio, LLC, a related entity, from third-party sellers was transferred to the Company on April 11, 2023. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-50, Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control. As a result, the financial information of the individual Series #MANTLE319 has been presented herein commencing from June 1, 2022, the date the Series #MANTLE319 acquired the Underlying Asset. Since this transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of an asset, the financial information for Series #MANTLE319 prior to the transfer date of the Series, April 11, 2023, is not included in any consolidated total amount. Accordingly, financial information presented for the period January 1, 2023 to April 10, 2023 is included in Series #MANTLE319 financial statements but is excluded in the consolidated financial information presented for the Company. On the date of transfer, Capital Contribution of $3,026 and Accumulated Deficit of $2,618 were transferred to the Company along with the ownership of the Underlying Asset resulting in $408 of equity balance at the beginning of the Prior Period for the Underlying Asset. The following balances were also transferred to the Company: Prepaid Insurance of $707, Accounts Payable of $65, Accrued Property Tax of $234 and Due to the Manager or its Affiliates of $184,962. Under the terms of the transfer agreement all rights, titles and interests along with any liabilities or obligations associated with these Underlying Assets were transferred to the Company.

NOTE D - REVENUE, EXPENSE AND COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY

 

Overview of Revenues

The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments. We recognize revenue when control of contracted services or product is transferred to a third-party in an amount that reflects the consideration we expected to be entitled in exchange for a service or product. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

·identification of a contract with a customer; 

·identification of the performance obligations in the contract; 

·determination of the transaction price; 

·allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 

·recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. 

 

Underlying Assets can generate revenue through leasing or licensing and royalties arrangements, from sponsorship and advertising or through asset merchandising as follows:

·Asset Leasing: renting the Underlying Asset to a third party over a defined period of time for the payment of fees, typically on a monthly basis based on a signed agreement. Revenue recognition is based solely on contractual payments and any upfront fees can result in deferred revenues. 

·Licensing & Royalties: granting the right for third parties to display, perform or access the Underlying Asset for a fixed fee or a fee calculated as a percentage of the revenue generated by such activities. 

·Sponsorship & Advertising: enabling third-party brands to display advertising on or in connection with the Underlying Asset for the payment of fees, typically on a Cost per Impression (CPM), Cost per Click (CPC), or Cost per Action (CPA) basis, or whether depending on the terms of the arrangement. 

·Asset Merchandising: selling goods or services related to the Underlying Asset. 

During the Current Period, certain Series generated revenues through advertising from a domain parking arrangement as below:

     Overview of Costs and Expenses

The Company distinguishes costs and expenses between those related to the purchase of a particular Underlying Asset and Operating Expenses related to the management of such an Underlying Asset.

 

Fees and expenses related to the purchase of an Underlying Asset include, Acquisition Expenses. Other fees are incurred upon the Closing of an Offering and include Offering Expenses, Brokerage Fees, Custody Fees, and Sourcing Fees.

 

Within Operating Expenses, the Company distinguishes between Operating Expenses incurred prior to the Closing of an Offering and those incurred after the Closing of an Offering. Although these pre- and post- Closing Operating Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Operating Expenses) are similar in nature and are associated with a Series, pre-Closing Operating Expenses are borne by the Manager and are not expected to be reimbursed by the Company or the economic members. Post-Closing Operating Expenses are the responsibility of each Series of Interest and may be financed through (i) revenues generated by the Series or cash reserves at the Series or (ii) contributions made by the Manager, for which the

NOTE D - REVENUE, EXPENSE AND COST ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY (CONTINUED)

 

Manager does not seek reimbursement or (iii) loans by the Manager, for which the Manager may charge a rate of interest or (iv) issuance of additional Interest in a Series (at the discretion of the Manager).

 

If the Operating Expenses of a particular Series exceed the amount of reserves retained by or revenues generated from the applicable Underlying Asset, the Manager or the Asset Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and not seek reimbursement, (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to such Series, on which the Manager or the Asset Manager may impose a reasonable rate of interest, which shall not be lower than the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by the applicable Underlying Asset (an “Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation”), or (c) cause additional Interests to be issued in the applicable Series in order to cover such additional amounts. In connection with the allocation of Operating Expenses to the various Series, the Manager will periodically (and no less than semiannually) review Series’ ability to pay their Operating Expenses. Based on that review, the Manager will determine the method by which such Operating Expenses will be paid, including whether any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligations will be incurred.

 

Allocation Methodology

Allocation of revenues and expenses and costs will be made amongst the various Series in accordance with the Manager's allocation policy. The Manager's allocation policy requires items that are related to a specific Series to be charged to that specific Series. Items not related to a specific Series will be allocated pro rata based upon the value of the Underlying Assets or the number of Underlying Assets, as stated in the Manager’s allocation policy and as determined by the Manager. The Manager may amend its allocation policy at its sole discretion from time to time.

 

Allocation Methodology or Description by Category

·Revenue: Certain Series have generated revenues directly attributable to their Underlying Assets to date. Revenues are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  

·Offering Expenses: Offering Expenses, other than those related to the overall business of the Manager (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Offering Expenses) are funded by the Manager and generally reimbursed through the Series proceeds upon the Closing of an Offering. Offering Expenses are charged to a specific Series. 

·Acquisition Expenses: Acquisition Expenses (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Capital Assets), are typically funded by the Manager, and reimbursed from the Series proceeds upon the Closing of an Offering. Unless, to the extent that certain Acquisition Expenses are anticipated prior to the Closing, but incurred after the Closing of an Offering, for example identification fees, in which case, additional cash from the proceeds of the Offering will be retained on the Series balance sheet to cover such future anticipated Acquisition Expenses after the Closing of the Offering. Acquisition Expenses incurred are specific to and are capitalized into the cost of the Underlying Asset on the balance sheet of the Company and subsequently transferred to the Series upon Closing of the Offering for the Series Interests.  

·Sourcing Fee / Losses: The Sourcing Fee is paid to the Manager from the Series proceeds upon the Closing of an Offering (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Members’ Equity) and is charged to the specific Series. Losses incurred related to closed Offerings, due to shortfalls between proceeds from closed Offerings and costs incurred in relation to these Offerings are charged to the specific Series but are reimbursed by the Manager and accounted for as capital contributions to the Series (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Capital Assets).  

·Brokerage Fee: The Brokerage Fee is paid to the BOR from the Series proceeds upon the Closing of an Offering (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Members’ Equity) and is charged to the specific Series.  

·Custody Fee: DriveWealth served as the Custodian throughout the Prior Year. For all offerings for which DriveWealth served as Custodian, the Custody Fee was paid from the proceeds of each Offering (as described in Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Members’ Equity) and is charged to the specific Series. NCPS became the Custodian beginning January 2, 2024. North Capital, as Custodian, will not receive any compensation directly related to the Offering of any particular Series, but will instead receive an account opening fee and annual account maintenance fee with respect to each individual Investor.

NOTE F - INCOME TAX

 

Each Series has elected and qualifies to be taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Company has elected to be treated as a disregarded entity

 

A provision for income taxes for the Current Period and Prior Period have been recorded for any individual Series that generated income. No provision for income taxes is presented for any Series that incurred net losses. Each individual Series records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets primarily resulting from net operating losses will not be realized.  Net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance, and therefore, no tax benefit applicable to the loss for each individual Series for the Current Period and the Prior Period have been recognized. For each Series, net operating loss carryforwards incurred since inception, May 20, 2020, do not expire for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Series designated in the table below have generated pre-tax income during the Current Period. As a result, the Company has recorded a provision for income taxes as shown below. No provision for income taxes was recorded in the Prior Period.
