During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into agreements (each, a “Lot Deposit Agreement”) with five investors in the Company (each, a “Purchaser”), pursuant to which (1) each Purchaser agreed to purchase either two or three real estate lots at a purchase price of $50,000 per lot and pay the full purchase price (the “Purchase Amount”) for the purchased lots, (2) each Purchaser has the right to rescind the Lot Deposit Agreement at any time between twelve months from the date of the Lot Deposit Agreement but prior to the closing of the lot sale. In the event of such rescission, the Company agrees to refund the deposit amount plus interest at a rate of 8.5% compounded quarterly and agrees to transfer title to one residential lot of the Purchaser’s choosing within 30 calendar days of receiving the Purchaser’s written notice to rescind.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into Lot Deposit Agreements for the purchase of eleven real estate lots and received Purchase Amounts in the aggregate amount of $525,000, which is recorded as lot sale obligations on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. A Purchase Amount of $25,000 is receivable as of June 30, 2024, and will be recorded as additional Lot Sale Obligation when received. The $80,096 aggregate cost of the lots to be transferred in the event of rescission of the Lot Deposit Agreements was recorded as a discount to the lot sale obligations and is being amortized over twelve months using the effective interest method.
