Overview

Harbor Custom Development, Inc. is a real estate development company involved in all aspects of the land development cycle including land acquisition, entitlements, development, construction of project infrastructure, single and multi-family vertical construction, marketing, sales, and management of various residential projects in Washington, California, Texas, and Florida.

As a land developer and builder of single-family homes, luxury homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments, our business strategy is to acquire and develop land strategically based on an understanding of population growth patterns, entitlement restrictions and land use evaluation, infrastructure development, and geo-economic forces. We endeavor to acquire land with scenic views to develop and sell residential lots, new home communities, townhomes, and multi-story condominium or apartment properties within a 20- to 60-minute commute of some of the nation's fastest-growing metro employment corridors.

We are leading the real estate industry as the first national land developer and home builder accepting payment in the form of cryptocurrency for our properties.

Our portfolio of land, lots, home plans, and finishing options, coupled with a historic low inventory of residential and multi-family housing in our principal geographic areas, provide an opportunity for us to increase revenue and overall market share. In addition to our single-family residential projects, we plan to build and sell townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. In an effort to strategically control the expanding needs of our corporate team, we signed a lease on October 5, 2021 for a new office space in Tacoma, Washington and moved our headquarters in April 2022. This office space is designed with a hybrid workforce in mind and takes into account employment trends that arose after the COVID-19 global pandemic, specifically the increase in hybrid or remote employees.

It is customary for us to sign purchase and sale agreements that contain a due diligence period which allows us time, usually between 30 and 60 days, to evaluate the acquisition. At times, through our due diligence efforts, we find that a property is not suitable for purchase due to economic forces, zoning issues, or other matters. If we determine that a property is not suitable for our desired purposes, we terminate the purchase and sale agreement. After termination within the due diligence period, our earnest money is returned to us.

Our infrastructure development division constructs a diverse range of residential communities and improved lots. We own and lease heavy equipment which we utilize to build and develop residential subdivisions and multi-family communities. The equipment is primarily used for land clearing, site development, public and private road improvements, installation of wet utilities such as sewer, water, and storm sewer lines, in addition to construction of dry utility lines for power, gas, telephone, and cable service providers.

We are a general contractor and construct single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments utilizing a base of employees in conjunction with third-party subcontractors.

As of August 10, 2022, we own or control 25 communities in Washington, Texas, California, and Florida, containing more than 3,100 lots or units in various stages of development.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

The following table sets forth the summary statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.



                                       26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



                              2022              2021

Sales                    $ 10,286,400      $ 14,132,400
Cost of sales             (12,218,300)      (10,805,100)
Gross profit (loss)        (1,931,900)        3,327,300
Operating expenses         (3,654,100)       (2,267,800)
Other income (expense)       (301,700)            9,900
Income tax benefit          1,378,600                 -
Net income (loss)        $ (4,509,100)     $  1,069,400



Sales

Our sales decreased by 27.2% to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Sales decreased in 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the sale of entitled land of $9.3 million, offset by an increase in home sales of $5.3 million. There was a large sale of entitled land to Lennar in the second quarter of 2021 but there were no entitled land sales in the second quarter of 2022. The second quarter 2022 home sales increased due to continued expansion into a new geographic location with $7.3 million of homes sold in Texas.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Our overall gross profit (loss) for the quarter decreased by 158.1% to $(1.9) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin (loss) was (18.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 23.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to significant cost overruns on our fee build projects in 2022 and high margin attained with the sale of entitled land to Lennar in 2021 as compared to no sales in 2022. Our fee build cost overruns were primarily attributable to inflation and record setting rainfall in Western Washington resulting in a $(3.2) million gross profit loss and (212.9)% gross margin loss in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.2 million gross profit and 11.8% gross margin in the second quarter 2021. The entitled land sales in the second quarter 2021 provided $2.4 million gross profit dollars at a gross margin of 25.5% that did not recur in the second quarter 2022.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by 61.1% to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following:

1)Payroll expenses increased by $0.8 million due to increase in staff from the continued investment in our public company infrastructure and personnel to support our future growth plans; 2)Professional fees increased by $0.1 million, primarily driven by establishing and maintaining public company infrastructure and oversight; 3)Advertising and marketing increased by $0.1 million as a result of increased marketing activities to promote our company and real estate projects; 4)We incurred additional right of use expense of $0.1 million from leasing an office space in Tacoma, Washington for our new headquarters; and 5)We incurred additional depreciation expense of $0.1 million related to furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements for the new corporate office and equipment additions.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) was $(0.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $0.01 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This change is primarily due to $(0.4) million of interest expense incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The interest expense increased due to the revolving line of credit loan we entered into on March 7, 2022.



                                       27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Income (Loss)

Our net income (loss) decreased by 521.6% to $(4.5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue and gross margins in the second quarter of 2022 as explained above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

The following table sets forth the summary statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.



                              2022              2021

Sales                    $ 38,867,400      $ 28,006,600
Cost of sales             (34,744,700)      (24,072,100)
Gross profit                4,122,700         3,934,500
Operating expenses         (7,493,400)       (4,317,600)
Other income (expense)   $   (363,100)     $    (96,700)
Income tax benefit            870,000                 -
Net income (loss)        $ (2,863,800)     $   (479,800)



Sales

Our sales increased by 38.8% to $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Sales increased in 2022 due to the increases in home sales of $10.7 million, sale of developed lots of $2.1 million, and fee build revenue of $2.9 million, offset by a decrease in entitled land of $4.8 million. The home sales largely increased due to continued expansion into a new geographic location with $10.4 million of homes sold in Texas.

Gross Profit

Our overall gross profit increased by 4.8% to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin was 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 14.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an increase in home sales gross profit of $1.8 million and entitled land sales gross profit of $1.6 million, which was offset by the decrease in fee build gross profit of $(3.2) million in 2022. The (3.4)% decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by significant cost overruns with our fee build projects and was partially offset by the significant margins attained with the sale of entitled land in the first quarter of 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, gross margins on land sales were 84.1% and 23.8%, developed lot sales were 11.3% and (0.7)%, homes closed were 16.2% and 15.5%, and fee build was (71.8)% and 11.8%, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by 73.6% to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following:



1)Payroll expenses increased by $1.6 million due to increase in staff from the
continued investment in our public company infrastructure and personnel to
support our future growth plan;
2)Professional fees and director fees increased by $0.5 million and
$0.1 million, primarily driven by establishing and maintaining public company
infrastructure and oversight;
3)Stock compensation costs increased by $0.1 million, primarily driven by stock
options and restricted stock issued to directors, executives, and employees;
4)Advertising and marketing increased by $0.1 million as a result of increased
marketing activities to promote our company and real estate projects;
5)We incurred additional right of use expense of $0.2 million from leasing an
office space in Tacoma, Washington for our new corporate headquarters; and
                                       28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6)We incurred additional depreciation expense of $0.2 million related to furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements for the new corporate office and equipment additions.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $(0.4) million as compared to $(0.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This is primarily due to $(0.5) million of interest expense incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The interest expense increased due to the revolving line of credit loan we entered into on March 7, 2022.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss increased by 496.9% to $(2.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $(0.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a slight increase in gross profit, offset by increased operating expenses as explained above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal uses of capital were operating expenses, land purchases, land development, single and multi-family construction, the payment of routine liabilities, payments on construction loans and related party construction loans, financing fees for the revolving line of credit and construction loans, and repurchase of company equity securities. We used funds generated by operations and available borrowings to meet our short-term working capital requirements. We remain focused on generating positive margins in land acquisitions and development operations and home construction operations in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and keep us poised for growth.

We employ both debt and equity as part of our ongoing financing strategy to provide us with the financial flexibility to access capital on the best terms available. In that regard, we employ prudent leverage levels to finance the acquisition and development of our lots and construction of our homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. Our existing indebtedness is recourse to us and we anticipate that future indebtedness will likewise be recourse.

Our management considers a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding the incurrence of new indebtedness, including the purchase price of assets to be acquired with debt financing, the estimated market value of our assets, and the ability of particular assets, and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow to cover the expected debt service costs. Our governing documents do not contain a limitation on the amount of debt we may incur and our board of directors may change our target debt levels at any time without the approval of our shareholders.

We intend to finance future acquisitions and developments with the most advantageous source of capital available to us at the time of the transaction, which may include a combination of common and preferred equity, secured and unsecured corporate level debt, property level debt and mortgage financing, and other public, private, or bank debt.

Real Estate Assets

Our real estate assets increased to $154.6 million as of June 30, 2022 from $122.1 million as of December 31, 2021. This increase was due to an increase in development and construction activities for houses, condominiums, townhomes, and apartments.

Liabilities

Liabilities increased to $115.0 million as of June 30, 2022 from $70.0 million as of December 31, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to the following:

1.An increase in our construction loans of $24.2 million to fund the development of land and construction of houses, condominiums, townhomes, and apartments. 2.A new revolving credit facility was entered into with BankUnited and we borrowed $19.4 million net of debt discount to fund our general working capital needs; and 3.Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $6.1 million, primarily driven by an increase in trade accounts payable due to an increase of real estate projects in process.


                                       29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unrestricted Cash Balance

As of June 30, 2022, our unrestricted cash balance was $22.0 million compared to $25.6 million as of December 31, 2021.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $35.5 million as compared to $61.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash used is primarily attributable to a decrease in real estate assets of $32.0 million, and an increase from accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.8 million, partially offset by an increase in net loss of $(2.4) million and increase in notes receivable of $8.9 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.5 million as compared to net cash used of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, $1.7 million was used for the purchase of property and equipment compared to $0.2 million used for the acquisition of new equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These purchases of property and equipment were partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $33.5 million as compared to net cash provided of $72.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily caused by net proceeds from a common stock offering of $25.1 million and net proceeds from a preferred stock offering of $28.7 million in 2021 that did not recur in the 2022 comparable period, and an increase in cash used for 2022 preferred dividends of $4.0 million, offset by net cash provided by the revolving line of credit loan of $20.3 million in 2022.

Cash Resources

Although the expected revenue growth and control of expenses leads management to believe that it is probable that our cash resources will be sufficient to meet cash requirements through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, we may require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all. In that event, we would be required to change our growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, though there is no guarantee we will be able to do so.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).

Inflation

Our operations can be adversely impacted by inflation, primarily from higher land, financing, labor, material, and construction costs. In addition, inflation can lead to higher mortgage rates which can significantly affect the affordability of mortgage financing to homebuyers. While we attempt to pass on cost increases to customers through increased prices, when weak housing market conditions exist, we may be unable to offset cost increases with higher selling prices.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk, and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.



                                       30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." These provisions include:



•a requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements and
only two years of related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in a public offering registration
statement;
•an exemption to provide fewer than five years of selected financial data in a
public offering registration statement;
•an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX") in the assessment of the emerging growth company's
internal control over financial reporting;
•an exemption from the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards
until they would apply to private companies; and
•an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit partner rotation or
a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would be required to
provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of
the issuer.

We have elected to adopt the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of this election, the information that we provide in this Report may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.

We will cease to be an "emerging growth company" upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering (December 31, 2025), (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.
