PART II

GRATUS CAPITAL PROPERTIES FUND III, LLC

 

Item 1. Business

 

The Company

 

GRATUS CAPITAL PROPERTIES FUND III, LLC (the “Company”) is a limited liability company organized November 10, 2020 under the laws of Delaware and managed by GCPF Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”). The Company was organized to primarily invest directly or indirectly in real estate within the multifamily or commercial real estate segment.

 

The Company first Regulation A offering ran from December 2, 2021 to April 30, 2025. The Company initially offered 7,500,000 Class A and Class B Interests at between $10 and $10.6383 per Interest, depending on the sales channel and intermediaries through which the investment is made. The Company amended this offering in December 2022 and began selling Class A and Class B Interests for between $11.08 and $11.79 per Unit (depending on the intermediaries) and further amended its offering in March 2025 to sell Class A and Class B Interests for between $12.29 and $13.08 per Unit (depending on the intermediaries). On July 1, 2025, the Company began its second Regulation A offering up to $50,000,000 in Class A Interests and Class B Interests at between $12.29 and $13.08 per Interest, depending on the intermediaries through which the investment is made. As of April 1, 2026, the Company increased the price it was selling units to between $13.15 and $14.00 per Interest (depending on the intermediaries through which the investment is made). The minimum investment is $10,000. The maximum amount to be raised in this offering is $50 million.

 

Investors who purchase at least $500,000 in Class A Units, who purchase Units through a RIA, who purchase units through a registered broker-dealer, or who are current employees of the Manager or any Development Partner with whom the Company does business are also eligible to take advantage of the Company’s Side Letter Agreement, the Form of which is attached to as Exhibit 6.2 hereto. Under this Side Letter Agreement, eligible investors (referred to as Class A+ Investors) are assigned cashflows from the Company’s Class C Member (who is also the Company’s Manager) such that the Class A+ investors will receive eighty-five percent (85%) of eligible Distributable Cash instead of eighty percent (80%). Any disputes under the Side Letter Agreement are subject to the same dispute resolution process as disputes under the Company’s Operating Agreement. While this Agreement shall be open to all Class A Members during the duration of this offering, the Side Letter Agreement shall terminate for with regards to any Class A Unit assigned, sold, or transferred (including involuntary transfers by operation of law) from the Class A+ Investors to any other Person, unless the Manager consents to the transfer of this Agreement in its sole and unlimited discretion.

 

Units are being offered through three separate channels: (1) Investors who purchase Units directly from the Company will purchase at the Base Price ($13.15) with no Commission Adjustment, and will receive Class A or Class B Units; (2) Investors who purchase Units through an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (RIAs) and who have been advised by such adviser on an ongoing basis regarding investments other than in the Company, but do not utilize a broker-dealer, will purchase at the Base Price with no Commission Adjustment and will receive Class A Units; (3) Investors who purchase Units through a registered broker-dealer will receive Class A Units and will purchase at the Base Price plus a Commission Adjustment, calculated as described below:

 

The Commission Adjustment will be calculated as (100% / 100% - (Placement Fee Amount) – 1) * Base Price, rounded to the nearest cent. For example, since the Base Price for a particular transaction is $13.15, if the Placement Fee is 6%, the Commission Adjustment will be ((100/(100-6 = 94))-1) * $13.15 = $0.84, for a total cost of $13.99 per Unit, and an investor investing the minimum $10,000 will receive approximately 714 Class A Units. If the Placement Fee is 2%, the Commission Adjustment will be ((100/(100-2 = 98))-1 = ) * $13.15 = $0.27, for a total cost of $13.42 per Unit, and an investor investing the minimum $10,000 will receive approximately 745 Class A Units.

 

Sales commissions paid to Registered Broker-Dealers will range from 0.40% to 6.40% of gross offering proceeds depending on the sale channel utilized. The Company has and will pay additional compensation to Broker-Dealers in connection with this offering, including a $1,500 per month Platform and Syndication Fee to its Managing Broker for as long as the offering is open. Detailed information about each distribution channel and compensation paid to FINRA and FINRA members can be found in our Offering Circular, “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION” beginning on page 23, and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Company's overall strategy is to enter joint ventures to develop new multi-family properties, capitalize on undervalued and value add multi-family properties, and acquire stabilized multi-family properties. The Company will primarily target Class A- to C+ assets in the Midwest, South and Southeast regions of the United States. However, the Company may, from time-to-time, invest in other cash flowing and potentially cash flowing multi-family, commercial (e.g., senior living, mobile home parks, self-storage, mixed use, hospitality, office and/or retail), new development properties, and single-family assets as well as real estate backed loans and other real estate backed investments anywhere in the United States when compelling opportunities arise. On February 16, 2022, the Company broke impounds and acquired its first real estate asset.

We are currently raising capital for the Company and searching for additional properties and other real estate investment opportunities. Company investments will highly depend on the availability of properties and other real estate investments that meet our investment criteria. Note that, the Manager or its affiliates may “pre-fund” one or more real estate investments, acquiring them using its own funds so as to make that investment available to the Company and any Parallel Funds. If the Manager or its affiliates “pre-funds” one or more properties, it may charge the Company simple annualized interest of up to 10% during the time between when it purchases the property and when the Company uses its Capital to replace that “pre-funding.” Additional information can be found in our Offering Circular, “SUMMARY OF OPERATING AGREEMENT. —Parallel Funds, Special Purpose Entities and Co-Investment Opportunities, beginning on page 57.” The Manager’s affiliates have, in fact, pre-funded the Enclave OG, LLC and SOCO Group II, LLC properties into which the Company invested in February and March 2022, and these loans were subsequently repaid at 6.68% interest.

 

Membership Interests

 

The terms of the Class A and Class B Interests are governed by the Company’s Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”) as may be amended from time to time. The Company hopes to offer its Class A Members the opportunity to earn 80% (eighty percent) of the Class A Unit Percentage Share’s realized profits and Class B Members the opportunity to earn 70% (seventy percent) of the Class B Unit Percentage Share’s realized profits. Under the Side Letter Agreement, eligible Class A+ investors are assigned cashflows from the Company’s Class C Members (who are also members of the Manager) such that the Class A+ investors will receive eighty-five percent (85%) of eligible Distributable Cash instead of eighty percent (80%). The Company’s realized profits shall be distributed to the Class A Members and Class B Members in proportion to each Class’s Percentage Share and each Member’s respective Capital Contribution. Note that the Manager has discretion to reinvest what would otherwise be Distributable Cash in new or currently held Properties or other real estate backed loans and other real estate backed investments.

Management

 

The Company will be owned by the Manager and Members and will have a Membership which may include, but is not limited to: individuals, individual retirement accounts, entities, trusts, banks and other financial institutions, endowments, and pension funds. The Manager will exclusively manage the Company. The Company does not have any employees but relies on services provided by the Manager and its affiliates. (See Annual Report Item 3. Directors and Officer for further information.) Further information about the rights and obligations of the Manager, including certain limitations on its liability and rights to indemnification, can be found in our Offering Circular, SECURITIES BEING OFFERED AND SUMMARY OF OPERATING AGREEMENT beginning on page 54. The Company has, and intends to continue to, hire third-party property managers to manage our properties.

 

The Manager and its affiliates are compensated for their services through certain Management Fees and returns on its Class C Units. See Annual Report Item 7. Financial Statements Note 5 Related Party Transactions and Annual Report Item 3. Executive Officer Compensation for further information regarding fees and compensation paid to the Manager.

 

Our Manager and its affiliates experience conflicts of interest in connection with the management of our business. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

·

Our Manager and its affiliates originates, offers, and manages other investment opportunities and funds outside of the Company including those that have similar investment objectives as the Company, and also may make investments in real estate assets for their own respective accounts, whether or not competitive with our business.

 

 

 

 

·

The Manager will most likely enlist the services of a third-party in order to manage our assets. The negotiation for the compensation for that third-party will be at market rates.

 

 

 

 

·

The acquisitions of investments at higher purchase prices would entitle our Manager to higher acquisition fees and asset management fees regardless of the quality or performance of the investment and, in the case of acquisitions of investments from other entities, might also entitle our Manager or its affiliates or assigns to disposition fees in connection with services for the seller.

 

 

 

 

·

We may borrow money from the Manager or affiliates of the Manager at prevailing market rates, or engage the Manager or affiliate of the Manager to perform services at prevailing market rates. Prevailing market rates are determined by the Manager based on industry standards and expectations of what the Manager would be able to negotiate with a third-party on an arm’s length basis.

 

 

 

 

·

The Manager and its affiliates are not required to devote all of their time and efforts to our affairs.

 

 

 

 

·

The terms of our operating agreement (including the Manager’s rights and obligations and the compensation payable to our Manager and its affiliates) were not negotiated at arm’s length.

 

 

 

 

·

The Members may not remove the Manager.

 

Further information about potential conflicts of interest of our Manager can be found in our Offering Circular, RISK FACTORS beginning on page 8, where are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

Risk Factors

 

We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the real estate industry generally. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. These risks could result in a decrease in the value of our Membership Interests.  More information ca be found in our Offering Circular, RISK FACTORS beginning on page 8, where are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Table of Contents

 

Competition

 

The multifamily industry is highly competitive, and we face competition from many sources, including from other multifamily apartment communities both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market where our properties are and will be located. If so, this would increase the number of units available and may decrease occupancy and unit rental rates. Furthermore, the multifamily communities we are constructing and will acquire do compete (or will compete) with numerous housing alternative in attracting residents, including owner occupied single and multifamily homes available to rent or purchase. The number of competitive properties and/or condominiums in a particular area, or any increased affordability of owner occupied single and multifamily homes caused by declining housing prices, mortgage interest rates and government programs to promote home ownership, could adversely affect our ability to retain our residents, lease apartment units and maintain or increase rental rates. These factors could materially and adversely affect us.

 

Investment Company Act

 

The Company is not registered as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. If at any time we may be deemed an “investment company,” we believe we will be afforded an exemption under Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the 1940 Act excludes from regulation as an “investment company” any entity that is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring “mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate”.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We may from time to time be involved in routine legal matters incidental to our business; however, at this point in time we are currently not involved in any litigation, nor are we aware of any threatened or impending litigation.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

The information discussed in this item should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes appearing under Item 7 of this Annual Report.

 

Overview

 

Gratus Capital Properties Fund III, LLC is a Delaware limited liability corporation that was formed to primarily invest directly or indirectly in real estate and real estate related assets located throughout the United States. On December 2, 2021, the Company began accepting subscription agreements as a part of a Regulation A offering. On February 16, 2022, the Company broke impounds and acquired its first real estate asset and went on to acquire three additional real estate assets in 2022. The Company’s assets consist of multifamily and commercial properties. In addition, the Company may from time to time purchase other cash flowing real estate related assets, such as land, mixed-use, hotels, multifamily, real estate backed investments and commercial properties in urban and other neighborhoods throughout the United States. The Company may also enter into joint venture investments in commercial real estate, lend senior and subordinated debt on properties in the same areas and invest in preferred equity positions in real estate owning entities.

 

Of these seven properties, the Company controls a majority of Compass Apartments I, LLC and Current33 Apartments I, LLC, and so the financial statements of these two subsidiaries have been consolidated into the financial statements under the Company, as provided by GAAP. Due to this consolidation, these investments are represented differently from Enclave OG, LLC, SOCO Group II, LLC and Enclave Compass II, LLC, & DECO Shakopee, LLC which are accounted for as investments in real estate projects.  Renn & Royce JV, LLC was accounted for on a cost basis.

Results of Operations

 

For the period ended December 31, 2025

 

Total income

 

The Company has just begun generating significant operating revenue during the period ended December 31, 2025, for the first time since inception. Total Rent collected from Compass Apartments and Current33 Apartments totaled $3,673,119 in 2025, contrasted with $1,674,158 in 2024. The operations of the partnerships where the Company holds less than a 50% ownership interest (Wild Oak, Ivy at SOCO, Enclave Compass II, LLC, and DECO Shakopee LLC) resulted in losses from unconsolidated partnership investments of $463,377 in 2025, compared to losses of $550,949 in 2024.

 

Total expenses

 

From January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the Company generated operational expenses of $1,918,669 (including Asset Management Fees of $437,367) along with interest expenses of $1,545,060 and depreciation expense of $2,372,326 (almost entirely consisting of depreciation on Compass Apartments and Current33 Apartments). This compares with operational expenses of $1,293,877 (including Asset Management Fees of $97,693) along with interest expenses of $1,556,278 and depreciation expense of $2,190,818 (almost entirely consisting of depreciation on Compass Apartments and Current33 Apartments) between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

 

The difference in Operating Expenses was primarily represented by increase in asset management fees due to O&O expense going up $235,000 due to the new capital deployed and also growing assets under management year over year.  In addition, property taxes increased by $330,000 as several properties reached maturity

 

Operating expenses incurred at the Company level (i.e., excluding subsidiary operations) during fiscal year 2025 were $673,942 (consisting of General & Administrative expenses of $2,344, Management Fees of $158,859, $277,693 of O&O expense and Professional Fees of $234,707) contrasted with fiscal year 2024 operating expenses of $280,092 (consisting of General & Administrative expenses of $1,767, Management Fees of $97,693, and Professional Fees of $180,632) . The Office space and administrative services for the Company are provided without charge by the Company’s Manager.

The Company purchased its 12.07% equity interest in Enclave Compass II, LC in May 2024, pledging approximately $600,120. The Company contributed $400,000 in June ‘23 and the remaining $200,120 to Enclave Compass II on about November 27, 2024, paying an additional $6,459 (calculated at 8% non-compounding interest on the $200,120 in uncontributed capital beginning on June 30, 2024) to offset the financial impacts of the late contribution.

On December 17, 2025, the company purchased its 30.77% equity interest in DECO Shakopee LLC (Maple Grove Industrial) for $3,500,000. This acquisition was funded by the reserve cash available, no additional financing was used. In connection with the investment, the Company also entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement with an existing member (attached hereto as Exhibit 6.5), pursuant to which the Company will make an additional $2,070,008 investment in DECO Shakopee LLC. As part of this Purchase Agreement, the Company has entered into a $2,070,008 promissory note with a maturity date of December 31, 2026, with a fixed 9% interest rate. After paying off this promissory note, the Company has committed to make an additional $1,000,000 capital contribution to DECO Shakopee LLC to fund a future roof replacement.

 

The Company intends to raise additional funds in this offering, up to its Offering Maximum of $50,000,000 in order to make additional real estate acquisitions. However, even if we do not raise any additional funds, we believe that the profits from operations, funds we have raised, taken together with our line of credit, are sufficient to fund our expenses over the next twelve months. The Company has short and long-term liquidity through operational profits, fundraising, and Manager provided credit facility. The Manager currently has sufficient capital in the bank account to cover fixed expenses for several years and will utilize the credit facility if necessary to be opportunistic in pursuing cash flowing investments for the Company.

 

As for Compass Apartments I, LLC and Current33 Apartments I, LLC, these properties are on budget and cash flowing. As of December 31, 2025, Compass Apartments I, LLC had $235,995 in cash and Current33 Apartments I, LLC had $408,133 in cash. We believe each property-owning entity has sufficient short- and long-term liquidity for all its projected needs.

Trends and Key Information Affecting our Performance

 

As of Q1 2026, the Company continues to execute its investment strategy, with multiple development projects now completed and progressing through stabilization, alongside a stabilized industrial asset contributing current cash flow to the portfolio. Overall performance has strengthened, with several assets achieving high occupancy levels and demonstrating improving alignment with pro forma expectations despite elevated cap rate conditions and broader market variability. Performance highlights include:

 

 

·

Compass I (Moorhead - Multifamily): Achieved 97.9% occupancy, reflecting strong demand and consistent leasing performance. Management remains focused on maintaining high occupancy while driving disciplined rent growth.

 

 

 

 

·

Compass II (Moorhead - Multifamily): Reached 97.6% leased and 94% physical occupancy during lease-up. The property continues to perform well relative to the broader market, with rental rates trending upward. A loan modification completed during the quarter reduced borrowing costs and supports improved cash flow.

 

 

 

 

·

Current 33 (Hastings - Multifamily): Ended the quarter at 96.2% occupancy, supported by strong leasing activity. Operating performance remains stable, with continued focus on sustaining occupancy, managing expenses, and driving incremental revenue opportunities.

 

 

 

 

·

Ivy at SOCO (Grand Forks - Multifamily): The residential component remains stable at 96% occupancy and 100% leased. Retail leasing remains limited at approximately 19%, reflecting continued softness in demand for the space. In response, the Company has engaged a new brokerage partner and is actively repositioning a portion of the first-floor retail into additional multifamily units while maintaining select retail exposure to improve overall asset performance.

 

 

 

 

·

Wild Oak (Fargo - Multifamily): Maintained 92.5% occupancy in the multifamily component, with performance tracking in line with submarket conditions. The condominium component has experienced slower-than-anticipated sales relative to initial underwriting. Following completion of the project, the Company marketed shell units and one initially completed unit, which did not generate meaningful transaction activity. The Company subsequently completed the fit-up of two additional units, which resulted in two closed sales in November 2024 and April 2025, with proceeds applied toward loan curtailment and funding of additional fit-up efforts. The Company is now substantially complete with the fit-up of two additional units and is continuing to work through the remaining inventory by marketing completed units and adjusting pricing based on current market conditions. In parallel, the Company is actively engaged with its lender in advance of the loan maturity at the end of 2026 to evaluate available refinancing and extension options.

 

 

 

 

·

DECO Shakopee, LLC (Maple Grove - Industrial): The property continues to perform in line with expectations, supported by stable tenancy and consistent operating performance, contributing immediate stabilized cash flow to the portfolio.

 

These assets continue to generate positive cash flow and reflect the Company’s focus on disciplined execution through the stabilization phase.

 

Development Pipeline

 

 

·

Renn & Royce Apartments (Oakdale): Construction remains on schedule for completion in May 2027 and within budget. Development progress continues across framing, site work, and building systems.

 

 

 

 

·

Renn & Royce Townhomes (Oakdale): Development remains on track, with initial unit deliveries expected in late 2026 and full completion in 2027. Construction continues to advance across multiple buildings.

 

The Company’s strategy continues to emphasize multifamily development and stabilization as a core driver of long-term value creation, complemented by stabilized assets such as industrial investments that provide current income and diversification across the portfolio. This balanced approach supports both near-term cash flow and long-term growth across varying market conditions.

Interest Rates and Monetary Policy Outlook

 

The macro environment has stabilized meaningfully compared to the peak tightening cycle, with the Federal Reserve currently holding rates in the mid-3% range following cuts in late 2025. Market expectations have shifted toward a more measured, data-dependent path forward, with many participants now calling for a prolonged period of relatively stable rates.

 

That said, we continue to believe there is a strong structural incentive for lower rates over time. With U.S. federal debt now exceeding $40 trillion, sustained higher borrowing costs present a significant challenge to fiscal sustainability. In our view, the government will ultimately need to find a path toward lower rates to manage this burden effectively.

 

At the same time, ongoing geopolitical tensions, including conflicts involving Iran and other regions, are likely to contribute to continued elevated deficit spending. This dynamic further supports a longer-term environment of increased liquidity and potential downward pressure on real rates.

 

While the exact timing and path remain uncertain, even a stable to modestly declining rate environment represents a meaningful improvement from the volatility of recent years and should continue to support real estate fundamentals.

 

Looking Ahead

 

Key macro and market trends expected to shape our outlook include:

 

 

·

Interest Rates: While many forecasts call for a steady rate environment, we believe longer-term pressures, particularly federal debt levels and fiscal dynamics, create a strong case for eventual easing. Even stability at current levels is supportive, improving underwriting visibility, refinancing feasibility, and overall transaction activity.

 

 

 

 

·

Deficit Spending and Liquidity: The federal government continues to run deficits approaching $2 trillion annually, injecting sustained liquidity into the economy. This has historically supported nominal income growth, rents, and asset values over time, even in periods of economic uncertainty.

 

 

 

 

·

Inflation and Real Assets: Inflation has moderated but remains above long-term targets. Multifamily continues to serve as a strong hedge, with the ability to adjust rents over relatively short timeframes and maintain alignment with rising costs.

 

 

 

 

·

Distressed Real Estate Opportunities: While widespread distress has not materialized, we continue to monitor selective opportunities driven by refinancing pressure, regional supply imbalances, and basis dislocation, particularly in areas such as office-to-residential conversion.

Table of Contents

 

Strategic Focus and Projections:

 

We continue to target high-quality assets in stable, high-performing markets, particularly in the Midwest, which has demonstrated resilience amid national volatility. Highlights include:

 

 

·

Midwest Market Strength: The Minneapolis–St. Paul and Fargo markets continue to demonstrate strong underlying fundamentals, supported by relatively constrained new supply and stable demand drivers. Recent data from national multifamily research providers such as CoStar, RealPage, and Yardi Matrix indicate that Midwest markets have returned to positive rent growth, with reduced concession levels and improving occupancy trends. In the Twin Cities, a meaningful slowdown in new construction following peak delivery levels in prior years is contributing to improved supply-demand balance. Similarly, Fargo benefits from limited new supply and steady regional demand, supporting consistent occupancy and rent stability. These dynamics position our core markets for durable cash flow performance and steady rent growth relative to higher-supply regions.

 

 

 

 

·

Balanced Opportunity Pipeline: While we are evaluating stabilized acquisitions with improving pricing clarity, we remain committed to pursuing new development opportunities that align with forward supply constraints and meet our return thresholds.

 

 

 

 

·

Macro Trends: Stabilizing rates, continued fiscal support, moderating new supply, and resilient demand drivers collectively support a constructive long-term outlook for multifamily rents and valuations.

 

Conclusion:

 

As we move further into 2026, our multifamily holdings continue to demonstrate strong underlying fundamentals and cash flow durability, even within a measured growth environment.

 

While near-term conditions remain balanced, the broader setup is increasingly favorable. A more stable interest rate environment, combined with long-term pressures toward lower rates, continued fiscal support, and improving supply dynamics, positions the sector for steady performance and potential upside over time.

 

With a flexible approach to both development and acquisition, and a disciplined focus on resilient markets like the Midwest, we believe the Company is well positioned to continue delivering strong risk-adjusted returns while remaining adaptive to evolving opportunities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and thus, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of other reporting companies. Accordingly, until the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively opt out of the exemption, upon the issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Such judgments are based on our management’s experience, our historical experience, and the industry. We consider these policies critical because we believe that understanding these policies is critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Additionally, these policies may involve significant management judgments and assumptions or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of

Gratus Capital Properties Fund III, LLC.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gratus Capital Properties Fund III, LLC as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Unconsolidated Partnership Investments

 

As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company invested in several real estate partnership investments accounted for under the partnership equity method and the partnership cost method. As of December 31, 2025, total investments in unconsolidated entities were $7,969,055. During the year, the Company recorded equity in losses from unconsolidated partnership investments of $(463,377), representing its share of losses from those unconsolidated entities. The recurring losses from these investments reduced the carrying value of the investments and required management to evaluate whether impairment indicators were present and whether the recorded balances remained appropriate.

Table of Contents

 

We determined that this matter was a critical audit matter because the investments in unconsolidated entities were material to the financial statements, and the evaluation of the carrying value of those investments involved especially challenging, subjective, and complex auditor judgment. In particular, the matter required judgment in assessing the accounting for the investments, evaluating the Company’s share of losses from unconsolidated entities, and considering management’s assessment of impairment

 

How we addressed the matter in our audit included, among others, the following procedures:

 

 

·

Obtained and inspected the executed agreements related to the partnership investments.

 

 

 

 

·

Obtained and reviewed the financial statements of the unconsolidated entities.

 

 

 

 

·

Tested the mathematical accuracy of the Company’s recorded share of losses from the unconsolidated entities and recomputed the Company’s share of those losses based on the underlying financial information.

 

 

 

 

·

Obtained and evaluated management’s impairment assessment memorandum related to the investments in unconsolidated entities.

 

 

 

 

·

Assessed whether the recurring losses and related facts and circumstances were appropriately considered in management’s evaluation of impairment indicators and the carrying value of the investments.

GRATUS CAPITAL PROPERTIES FUND III, LLC & SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Gratus Capital Properties Fund III, LLC, & Subsidiaries (The Company), a manager-managed Delaware limited liability company, was formed on November 10, 2020. Through subsidiary single purpose entities, the Company’s business model is to acquire multifamily and commercial properties, new developmental property and single-family assets throughout the United States, for the purpose of rehabilitation, development, operation and resale. In addition, the Company may from time to time purchase other cash flowing real estate related assets, such as land, mixed-use, hotels, multifamily, real estate backed investments and commercial properties in urban and other neighborhoods throughout the United States.  The Company may also enter into joint venture investments in commercial real estate, lend senior and subordinated debt on properties in the same areas and invest in preferred equity positions in real estate owning entities. The Company believes that by lending to developers in key areas where the Company does not have a physical presence will provide diversified geographic asset investments, reducing the risks of providing returns on the real estate investment portfolio. The Company is managed by GCPF Management, LLC.

 

Since November 10, 2020 (inception), the Company has relied upon related parties and its Members for funding cash flow to pay for operating expenses and other costs. (See discussions below).  For the period from inception to December 31, 2024, the Company has generated losses aggregating $5,229,397. These matters do raise concern about the Company’s ability to operate at a profit. That notwithstanding, through December 31, 2025, the Company raised capital in the amount of $19,923,044. See also Note 8 Subsequent Events. Further, during the next twelve-month period, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from its campaign to sell Membership Units ((see Note 15). The additional capital is to enable the Company to fund real estate acquisitions and continuing operations. These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from operating and cash flow uncertainties.

 

The Company is considered an emerging growth company under Section 101(a) of the Jumpstart Business Act as it is an issuer that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion during its most recently completed fiscal period. Because the Company is an emerging growth company, the Company has an exemption from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Section 404(b), the Company is exempt from the internal control assessment required by subsection (a) that requires each independent auditor that prepares or issues the audit report for the issuer shall attest to, and report on, the assessment made by the management of the issuer.

The financial statements included forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Offering Statement on Form 1A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in our filings with the SEC. The Company does not undertake an obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

Management intends to finance the operating costs over the next 12 months with existing cash in hand, loan from related party, issuance/sales of Member Units, and external debt financing. Additionally, management has secured a $50 million line of credit from our fund provider, accompanied by a standstill agreement effective until July 2025. This arrangement ensures ample liquidity and operational flexibility, allowing us to continue our business activities without interruption. After the expiration of the standstill agreement in July 2025, no new agreements were made as there was $0 owed as of the reporting date. Furthermore, we have a subsisting agreement with our fund provider that the fund will be used for a minimum period of 7 years before it can be withdrawn or converted to the equity at their discretion.

 

Also, prior management investment in new development properties has transitioned to a significant milestone with all construction completed. These properties are now in various stages of stabilization. We anticipate that they will begin generating increasing cash flow and income in the upcoming months, which will substantially improve our financial position and support ongoing operations.

 

Management acquired two new minority interest investments during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2025. One of the investees (Oakdale Flats) is in the development and construction phase and has not yet commenced operations; accordingly, it is not generating revenues or positive cash flows as of the reporting date. Management expects that the project will begin producing cash flows upon completion and stabilization. The other investee (MG Industrial) is fully operational as of the reporting date.

 

 Management has secured $453,077 in investor commitments, which are expected to support the Company’s projected cash flow needs. Following the filing, the Company intends to resume its active fundraising efforts, which are expected to further strengthen cash flows and support ongoing strategic initiatives.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and footnotes of Gratus Capital Properties Fund III, LLC have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP’).  The Company adopted the calendar year for reporting the financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries which are primarily majority owned. Any noncontrolling interest in the equity of a partnership is reported as a component of real estate partnership equity, with the exception of the Renn & Royce (Oakdale Flats) investment of 4.9%. This investment is recorded on a cost basis, see note 3 Oakdale, MN. Net income (loss) for operating partnership investments is included in the Statement of Operations as “Income (loss) from partnerships.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.  All amounts are rounded to the nearest whole dollar upon presentation so certain sums or differences may reflect a rounding difference in some instances.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in underlying real estate values. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations. 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be creditworthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Construction in Progress:

 

Construction in progress (“CIP”) represents capitalized costs incurred for real estate assets that are under development, redevelopment, or significant renovation and are not yet placed in service. CIP is recorded at cost and includes, but is not limited to, land acquisition costs, direct construction costs, development fees, capitalized interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its intended use.

 

The Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, and other indirect costs incurred during the development period in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Capitalization of such costs commences when development activities begin and ceases when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

 

Upon completion, assets are transferred from CIP to real estate investments and depreciation commences over the estimated useful lives of the assets. No depreciation is recorded while assets are classified as CIP.

 

Management evaluates CIP for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a project may not be recoverable. If such indicators are present, the Company assesses recoverability based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and records an impairment loss if the carrying amount exceeds fair value.

 

The duration of development projects and the timing of transfers from CIP to operating real estate assets may vary and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including construction delays, cost overruns, permitting, and market conditions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had $1,479,956 and $1,265,231, respectively of cash on hand.

 

Investment Commitments and Unfunded Obligations

 

The Company has entered into agreements to invest in certain investment vehicles and/or securities for which funding has not yet been completed as of the balance sheet date. These commitments are generally subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions or capital call provisions.

 

As of 12/31/2025 the Company had outstanding unfunded investment commitments totaling $2,070,008. The offsetting amount is recorded as a note payable in the accompanying financial statements.

 

The Company will recognize the investment and corresponding cash outflow in the period the obligation is made. The Company monitors these commitments for liquidity planning purposes and believes it has sufficient resources to meet such obligations as they become due.

 

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is charged to the statement of operations using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

 

Buildings

Leasehold Improvements

 

27.5 years

Shorter of the estimated lease term or useful

Furniture and Fixtures

 

7 years

Machinery and equipment

 

3 to 5 years

Technology

 

3 years

Vehicles

 

5 years

 

The Company evaluates property and equipment for impairment on an ongoing basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant revision of the estimated benefit period. As of December 31, 2025, management believes that no impairment of the property and equipment exists.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

 

 

·

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Syndication Costs

 

The Company continues to work with investment advisors and campaigns to raise capital. Legal and other directly related syndication costs incurred during the two years ended 2025 and 2024 was $416,737 and $341,033, respectively. Syndication costs are accounted for as a reduction of capital raised from the sale of Member Units and has been written off during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines at the inception of a contract whether it contains a lease and whether that lease should be classified as an operating or finance lease. A contract is considered to contain a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

 

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is determined based on the information available at lease commencement. ROU assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid lease payments, lease incentives received, or initial direct costs incurred.

 

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in [“cost of revenues,” “selling, general and administrative expense,” or appropriate line item]. Finance lease costs are split between interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which, among other things, allows entities not to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842.

 

Certain lease agreements contain options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2024, using the modified retrospective approach. As permitted under the standard, prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 840.

 

Organization Expenses

 

The Company has incurred no organization expenses in 2024 or 2025.

 

Income Taxes  -

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are taxed as partnerships for US federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, all consolidated items of income, deductions, gains or losses and credits are allocated to members in accordance with the operating agreement and subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code.  Since the Company is not liable for tax itself, no material federal tax provision has been recorded.

 

The Company has filed its federal and state income tax returns for the period from inception (November 10, 2020) through December 31, 2025.  The positions shown on those tax returns are open for examination for a period of three years.  Currently, the Company is not under examination by any taxing jurisdiction and has not been assessed any interest or penalties related to income tax matters.  The Company routinely evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. 

 

Member Unit and Equity Based Compensation

 

Consistent with US GAAP, the Company will record Member Unit-based compensation as a non-cash expense. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all Member unit-based awards, granted to employees and directors based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying member units, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s Member units, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of the Company’s Member units. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

 

The Company amortizes the fair value of each Member unit award over the requisite service period of the awards in accordance with the associated vesting schedule. Stock based compensation is adjusted based upon actual forfeitures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2019-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2018, FASB amended ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees.  The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted.  We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, amendments to existing accounting guidance were issued through Accounting Standards Update 2018-15 to clarify the accounting for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements.  The amendments specify that existing guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software also applies to implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
