Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2024
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Operations
International Land Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on September 26, 2013. The Company is a residential land development company with target properties located in the Baja California, Northern region of Mexico and Southern California. The Company’s principal activities are purchasing properties, obtaining zoning and other entitlements required to subdivide the properties into residential and commercial building plots, securing financing for the purchase of the plots, improving the properties infrastructure and amenities, and selling the plots to homebuyers, retirees, investors, and commercial developers.
In
May 2021, the Company acquired a
Certain information and note disclosures included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 27, 2024.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management
evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated
financial statements were available to be issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate
revenues and raise capital. The Company has faced significant liquidity shortages as shown in the accompanying financial statements.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $
The Company continues to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt instruments and equity to fund its ongoing operations, which may have the effect of potentially diluting the holdings of existing shareholders.
Management anticipates that the Company’s capital resources will significantly improve if its plots of land gain wider market recognition and acceptance resulting in increased plot sales and house construction. If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales, the Company will continue to experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts or to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner to avoid the need to curtail its future operations subsequent to March 31, 2024. The direct impact of these conditions is not fully known.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure additional funds if needed and that if such funds were available on commercially reasonable terms or in the necessary amounts, and whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to the Company. In such case, the reduction in operating expenses might need to be substantial in order for the Company to generate positive cash flow to sustain the operations of the Company. (See Note 13 regarding subsequent events).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, ILA Fund I, LLC (the “ILA Fund”), a company incorporated in the State of Wyoming, International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated in Mexico (“ILA Mexico”), and Emerald Grove Estates LLC, incorporated in the State of California, Plaza Bajamar, LLC, incorporated in State of Wyoming, Plaza Valle Divino, LLC, incorporated in the State of Wyoming and Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC incorporated in State of Nevada.
ILA Fund includes cash as its only assets with minimal expenses as of March 31, 2024. The sole purpose of this entity is strategic funding for the operations of the Company. ILA Mexico has plots held for sale for the Oasis Park Resort, no liabilities, and minimal expenses as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, Emerald Grove Estates LLC, Plaza Bajamar LLC, and Plaza Valle Divino LLC have no operations. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities were as follows:
| Name of Consolidated Subsidiary or Entity | State or Other Jurisdiction of Incorporation or Organization | Attributable Interest | ||||
| ILA Fund I, LLC | % | |||||
| International Land Alliance, S.A. de C.V. (ILA Mexico) | % | |||||
| Emerald Grove Estates, LLC | % | |||||
| Oasis Park Resort LLC | % | |||||
| Plaza Bajamar LLC | % | |||||
| Plaza Valle Divino, LLC | % | |||||
| Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC | % | |||||
On
January 1, 2023, the Company executed a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
units of Rancho Costa Verde Development, LLC. for a total contractual consideration of $
Reclassification
Certain numbers from 2023 have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Investments - Equity Method
The Company accounts for equity method investments at cost, adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. On January 3, 2023, the Company acquired a controlling financial interest in its previous equity method investment, which resulted in the consolidation pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combinations of such entity on the effective date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. Management regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates include:
| ■ | Liability for legal contingencies. |
| 9 |
| ■ | Useful life of buildings. | |
| ■ | Assumptions used in valuing equity instruments. | |
| ■ | Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances. | |
| ■ | Going concern. | |
| ■ | Assessment of long-lived assets for impairment. | |
| ■ | Significant influence or control over the Company’s investee. | |
| ■ | Revenue recognition. |
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as one reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: uses observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: uses unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the Company’s financial instruments that could have been realized as of any balance sheet dates presented or that will be recognized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual settlement.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid, and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contracts liability, deposits, promissory notes, net of debt discounts and promissory notes related party, deferred revenue, other notes approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Equity-method investment is recorded at cost, which approximates its fair value since the consideration transferred includes cash and a non-monetary transaction, in the form of the Company’s common stock, which was valued based on a combination of a market and asset approach.
The fair value of the Company’s recorded derivative liability is determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Sholes option valuation model was used to determine the fair value. The Company records derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operation.
The following table presents balances of the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2024:
| Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2024 Using | ||||||||||||||||

The following table presents changes of the liabilities with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
| Derivative | ||||
| Liability | ||||
| Balance December 31, 2023 | $ | |||
| Change in estimated fair value | ||||
| Balance March 31, 2024 | $ | |||
Derivative Liability
As of March 31, 2024, the Company has variable rate convertible promissory notes, which contained variable conversion rates based on unknown future prices of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in the recognition of a derivative liability as the conversion feature failed the scope exception for derivative accounting due to the variability of its conversion price. The Company measures the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions:
For the Three Months Ending March 31, | ||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
| Expected term | ||||
| Exercise price | $ - $ | $ - $ | ||
| Expected volatility | ||||
| Expected dividends | ||||
| Risk-free interest rate | ||||
| Forfeitures | ||||
The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment, or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.
The Company computes the fair value of the derivative liability at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recorded as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The key component in the value of the derivative liability is the Company’s stock price, which is subject to significant fluctuation and is not under its control, and the assessment of volatility. The resulting effect on net loss is therefore subject to significant fluctuation and will continue to be so until the Company’s variable convertible notes, which the convertible feature is associated with, are converted into common stock or paid in full with cash. Assuming all other fair value inputs remain constant, the Company will record non-cash expense when its stock price increases and non-cash income when its stock price decreases.

Cost Capitalization
The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the property, legal fees, and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property are capitalized and classified as Buildings in the consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized development costs include interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development are also capitalized.
A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development, and leasing of properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete, and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. Our capitalization policy on development properties is guided by ASC 835-20 Interest – Capitalization of Interest and ASC 970 Real Estate - General. The costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy or sale upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Land Held for Sale
The Company considers properties to be assets held for sale when (1) management commits to a plan to sell the property; (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition and (3) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable given our estimate of current market value. Upon designation of a property as an asset held for sale, we record the property’s value at the lower of its’ carrying value or its estimated net realizable value.
Land and Buildings
Land and buildings are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the use of the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial and tax reporting purposes, respectively, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings will have an estimated useful life of 20 years. Land is an indefinite-lived asset that is stated at fair value at date of acquisition.
Construction in progress (“CIP”)
A CIP asset reflects the cost of construction work undertaken, but not yet completed on land not currently owned by the Company. For construction in progress assets, no depreciation is recorded until the asset is placed in service. When construction is completed, the assets should be reclassified as building, building improvement, infrastructure or land improvement and should be capitalized and depreciated. The land is currently owned by companies controlled by our Chief Executive Officer. The Company fully impaired the construction in progress on land currently owned by the Companies controlled by our Chief Executive Officer due to the uncertainty in title transfer as of March 31, 2024.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the double declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets:
| Classification | Life | |
| Buildings | ||
| Furniture and equipment |

Revenue Recognition
The Company determines revenue recognition pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, through the following steps:
| ■ | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer. | |
| ■ | Identification of the performance obligations in the agreement(s) for the sale of plots or house construction. | |
| ■ | Determination of the transaction price. | |
| ■ | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. | |
| ■ | Recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue is measured based on considerations specified in the agreements with our customers. A contract exists when it becomes a legally enforceable agreement with a customer. The contract is based on either the acceptance of standard terms and conditions as stated in our agreement of plot sales or house construction with customers. These contracts define each party’s rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration which we will expect to receive in exchange for execution of the performance obligation(s).
The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay the consideration to which the Company is entitled to. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract or agreement to transfer a distinct product or item to the customer. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the property that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the property is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Management considers the retention of title as merely a protective right, which would not disallow revenue recognition for the full consideration to which the Company is entitled upon the execution of a contract for deed.
Currently, upon execution of each contract for deed, the Company has not developed sufficient controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that collection of the consideration, which the Company is entitled to, is probable. In addition, the title of the land for the various projects (Bajamar and Divino) is held by an entity that is controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
The Company’s principal activities in the real estate development industry which it generates its revenues from are the sale of developed and undeveloped land and house construction.
Rancho Costa Verde Development or RCVD generates revenue from the following sources: (1) lot sales, (2) home construction calculated as a set percentage of builders’ costs, (3) administrative income for loan servicing, (4) interest income resulting from monthly payments from financed loans made to customers on lot sales, (5) resale income as commission for selling homes for owners that have purchased lots at RCVD and (6) utilities revenue from waste water systems and solar systems.
The Company identified the following performance obligations related to the operations of RCVD: (1) subdivision of the developer parcel, (ii) casita free week for each customer allowing them to enjoy a free week to a casita per year. The Company determined that there was a significant financing component in most arrangements with customers, which results in the recognition of interest income.

Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on weighted average assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. The Company has elected to use the simplified method described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14C to estimate the expected term of employee stock options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The value of stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Any compensation cost previously recognized for an unvested award that is forfeited because of a failure to satisfy a service condition is reversed in the period of the forfeiture. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Stock-based compensation includes the fair value of options, warrants and restricted stocks issued to employees, directors, and non-employees.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Management makes estimates and judgments about our future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates. Should the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of our valuation allowance could be materially impacted. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the income statement for the periods in which the adjustment is determined to be required. Management does not believe that it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability, nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year.
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible notes payable using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are antidilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through March 31, 2024.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company fully impaired its long-lived assets due to the uncertainty in title transfer of the land not currently owned by the Company and the estimated fair value of its construction in progress during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Accounts Receivable
The
Company uses the specific identification method for recording the provision for doubtful accounts, which was $
Convertible Promissory Note
The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Income Statement. If the conversion feature does not require recognition of a bifurcated derivative, the convertible debt instrument is evaluated for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) requiring separate recognition. When the Company records a BCF, the intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument with an offset to additional paid-in capital and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. In addition, ASU 2020-06 amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The Amendments also affects the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendments are effective for public entities excluding smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods. Management has evaluated this update and has concluded it will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements and determined that there are no other accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Within the “restricted zone,” a foreigner can purchase the beneficial interest in real property through a bank trust or “fideicomiso.” Indeed, a bank trust must be used when acquiring property within the restricted zone. In this bank trust, the buyer of the property is designated as the “fideicomisario” or the beneficiary of the trust. While legal title is held by the bank, (specifically the trustee of the trust or the “fiduciario,”) the trustee must administer the property in accordance with the instructions of the buyer (the beneficiary of the trust). The property is not an asset of the bank, and the trustee is obligated to follow every lawful instruction given by the beneficiary to perform legal action. The Company has not yet established the bank trust, which is anticipated to occur before the end of the fiscal year 2024.

Common Stock warrants
At acquisition date, the Company measures the fair value of the common stock warrant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the following assumptions as of December 31, 2023:
| Expected term | ||||
| Exercise price | $ | |||
| Expected volatility | % | |||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Forfeitures | ||||
The assumptions used in determining fair value represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change, including changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, managements’ assessment, or significant fluctuations in the volatility of the trading market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s fair value estimates could be materially different in the future.
The Company computes the fair value of the common stock warrants at the acquisition date, which does not have to be updated at each reporting period.

Pursuant to the 2022 Plan, the Company has reserved a total of shares of the Company’s common stock to be available under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan was never approved by the stockholders.

In order for the 2019 Plan to grant “qualified stock options” to employees, it required approval by the Corporation’s shareholders within 12 months from the date of the 2019 Plan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview of Our Company
The Company was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Wyoming on September 26, 2013. We are based in San Diego, California. We are a residential land development company with target properties located primarily in the Baja California Norte region of Mexico and Southern California. Our principal activities are purchasing properties, obtaining zoning and other entitlements required to subdivide the properties into residential and commercial building plots, securing financing for the purchase of the plots, improving the properties’ infrastructure and amenities, and selling the lots to homebuyers, retirees, investors, and commercial developers. We offer the option of financing (i.e. taking a promissory note from the buyer for all or part of the purchase price) with a guaranteed acceptance on any purchase for every customer.
Overview
The real estate market in Northern Baja California has continued to significantly improve and has fully recover from the negative impact of Covid-19. The housing prices has continued to rise in the Southwest U.S., and inventory has remained severely low, which generated additional attraction from home buyers seeking second homes or vacation homes.
The Company’s current portfolio includes residential, resort and commercial properties comprising the following projects:
| ■ | Oasis Park Resort is a 497-acres master planned real estate community including 1,344 residential home sites, south of San Felipe, Baja California, which offers a 180-degree sea and mountain views. In addition to the residential lots, there is a planned boutique hotel, a spacious commercial center, and a nautical center.
The Company recently allowed prospective homeowners and existing lot holders to tour the property again. 75 of the 1,344 planned residential lots were pre-sold to initial shareholders. The Company has made significant progress on the project, which included the completion of the two-mile access road and the community entrance structure. The Company also started construction of the waterfront clubhouse, and model homes.
There has been no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024. | |
| ■ | Valle Divino is a self-contained solar 650-home site project in Ensenada, Baja California, with test vineyard at the property. This resort includes 137 residential lots and 3 commercial lots on 20 acres of land. This represents an estimated $60 million in gross sales opportunity. There has been no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024. | |
| ■ | Plaza Bajamar Resort is an 80-unit project located at the internationally renowned Bajamar Ocean front hotel and golf resort. The Bajamar oceanfront golf resort is a master planned golf community located 45 minutes south of the San Diego-Tijuana border along the scenic toll road to Ensenada. The first Phase will include 22 “Merlot” 1,150 square-foot single-family homes that features two bedrooms and two baths. The home includes two primary bedroom suites - one on the first floor and one upstairs, as well as fairway and ocean views from a rooftop terrace. The Merlot villas will come with the installation of solar packages. | |
| ■ | Emerald Grove Estates is the Company’s newly renovated Southern California property, used for organized events at this 8,000 square foot event venue. | |
| ■ | Rancho Costa Verde (“RCVD”) is a 1,100-acre master planned second home, retirement home and vacation home real estate community located on the east coast of Baja California. RCVD is a self-sustained solar powered green community that takes advantage of the advances in solar and other green technology. In May 2021, the Company acquired a 25% investment in RCVD in exchange for $100,000 and 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and such investment was initially recorded as an equity-method investment in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 3, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 75% membership interest in RCVD for a contractual consideration of $13.5 million, paid through $8,900,000 secured convertible note, 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 33,000,000 common stock warrants. Such transaction was recorded pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combinations. |
| 32 |
Summary of key operational and financial events:
| ■ | During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company collected an aggregate amount of $312,175 from house construction at the Plaza Bajamar project, which was initially recorded and presented as contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company offset the balance with the additional cash funded for the construction of amenities at Bajamar, with the net balance presented as impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations. There has been no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024. | |
| ■ | Continued our research and marketing efforts to identify potential home buyers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Through the formation of a partnership with a similar development company in the Baja California Norte Region of Mexico, we have been able to leverage additional resources with the use of their established and proven marketing plan which can help us with sophisticated execution and the desired results for residential plot sales and development. | |
| ■ | Title of Oasis Park Resort in San Felipe was assumed during 2019. We are expecting the transfer of title on Valle Divino in Ensenada, Baja California and Plaza Bajamar in Ensenada, Baja California before the end of our fiscal year 2024, as we continue to follow the necessary steps to complete this legal process. However, there is no assurance that such transfer of title will occur on above timeframe or at all. |

Revenue
Revenue increased by $4,847,942 to $5,088,874 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $240,932 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes real estate sales, interest from financed sales, financing fees, previously deferred revenues, and components of home construction.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased by $180,587 to $183,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $3,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenue includes land cost and related land improvements including infrastructure and subdivision costs.
| 33 |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $463,879 to $652,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $1,115,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Sales and marketing costs decreased by $92,195, to $167,689 in the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $260,084 in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Such decrease mainly relates to the reduced marketing efforts incurred by RCVD and ILAL during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as the Company was in process of raising additional capital. Sales costs are related to real estate’s sales commissions. Marketing costs include advertising, prospective customers’ education, travel, and accommodation.
General and administrative costs decreased by $315,180, to $295,001 in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $610,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative decreased for professional fees and other general and administrative expenses due to the lack of capital available during the three months ended March 31, 2024. General and administrative costs mainly include commissions paid attributable to sales.
Other expense
Other expenses decreased by approximately $427,477 to $603,077 in the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $1,030,554 in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Such decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the change in fair value of the Company’s derivative liability with interest expense remaining consistent period over period.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company finished the three months ended March 31, 2024, with net income of $3,650,150, as compared to a net loss of $1,908,561 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in our net income resulted from the reasons outlined above.
The factors that will most significantly affect future operating results will be:
| ■ | The positive effect of implemented sales and marketing initiatives to drive opportunities into our various projects. | |
| ■ | The quality of our amenities. | |
| ■ | The global economy and the demand for vacation homes. | |
| ■ | The sale price of future plots and home construction compared to the sale price in other resorts in Mexico. | |
| ■ | The prime location of our projects. |
Other than the foregoing we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our revenues or expenses.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash was $136,856 and $140,247 as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we recorded income of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our working capital deficit as of March 31, 2024, was $13.7 million. These factors and our ability to raise additional capital to accomplish our objectives, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operations, increased construction activity and the development of current and future projects which include our current business operations.
| 34 |
We anticipate generating increased revenues over the next twelve months, as we continue to market the sale of plots held for sale at our various projects, generate cash from the sale of house construction at our properties.
If the Company is not successful with its marketing efforts to increase sales, the Company will continue to experience a shortfall in cash, and it will be necessary to obtain funds through equity or debt financing in sufficient amounts or to further reduce its operating expenses in a manner to avoid the need to curtail its future operations.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $191,688 which resulted primarily due to net income of $3,650,150, non-cash share-based compensation of $213,931, depreciation of $51,531, and change in fair value of derivative liability of $22,748, offset by impairment loss of $189,369 and net change in assets and liabilities of $3,557,304.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $36,978 which resulted primarily due to the loss of $1,908,561 offset by non-cash share-based compensation of $78,047, amortization of debt discount of $160,830, depreciation of $29,748, impairment loss of $245,675, loss from debt extinguishment of $49,329, fair value of equity securities issued for services for $15,000, excess fair value of derivative liability for $36,062, change in fair value of derivative liability of $397,678, and net change in assets and liabilities of $933,170.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $259,867 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The funds were used for the development of the various projects and additional investment for land development.
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $73,047 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The funds were used for the development of the various projects and the purchased house construction at Plaza Bajamar and Valle Divino for $179,700, additional investment for land development for $215,266, and offset by the cash acquired for $321,919 from the acquisition of RCVD.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $64,788, primarily from cash payments to related parties for aggregate amount of $51,267, cash payments for convertible notes of $32,003, cash proceeds from other loans for $78,057, cash proceeds from promissory notes of $75,000, and cash payments on promissory notes of $5,000.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $186,088, primarily from cash proceeds from additional funding from related parties for aggregate amount of $226,220, cash proceeds from convertible note of $100,000, cash proceeds from other loans for $23,776, offset by $100,850 repayment of related party advances, and $63,058 repayment of convertible notes.
As a result of these activities, we experienced a decrease in cash of $3,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our success in obtaining additional financing from investors or from the sale of our common shares.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

This evaluation was carried out under supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of adequate accounting and finance personnel, inadequate controls over maintenance of records, inadequate internal controls relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances, and events that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting process.as further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and which the Company determined continued to exist as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
