NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (the “Company” or “KDM”) is incorporated in the State of Florida. The Company was created to originate mortgages and fund those mortgages with Notes secured by mortgage loans. J.W. Korth & Company Limited Partnership (“J.W. Korth”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of KDM.
J.W. Korth is a securities broker dealer registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the states of Michigan, Florida, and various other states and an SEC registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. J.W. Korth is a licensed member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, as well as a Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) registrant.
On July 28, 2022, KDM created a new wholly owned subsidiary, KDM Funding I LLC (“KDMF”), which is an additional issuer of Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs”). KDM is the servicer of KDMF’s loans, and all revenue and expenses are passed through to the Company and consolidated within these financial statements. Although KDMF’s deal history is broken out by KDM and KDMF as issuers in KDM’s annual reports on Form 10-K, as well as its securities memoranda, there are no stand-alone financial statements prepared for KDMF.
KDM owns a controlling interest in KDM Seaton Colyton Holdings LLC, and owns 100% of KDM Nagog Park LLC, KDM Beyer Drive Holding LLC and KDM Stafford LLC which are special purpose entities whose primary business purpose is to own and operate various commercial real estate properties. Currently, these entities own properties in Stafford, VA, Los Angeles, CA, Acton, MA, and Selma, TX. KDM’s operations with respect to these properties is detailed under the Asset Management section of Segment Reporting (“Note 17”).
KDM Capital Partners LP (the “Fund”) was formed in June 2024 as a limited partnership in the state of Delaware. The Fund’s primary business purpose is to invest in mortgages that are originated and serviced by KDM and other real estate related investments. KDM Capital, LLC serves as the Fund’s General Partner and J.W. Korth serves as the Fund’s Investment Manager. The Fund is actively raising capital.
The Fund qualifies as an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies, and, therefore, is applying the specialized accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to ASC Topic 946.
KDM is the manager and 25% owner of Sustainable Energy Holdings (NV) LLC, which in turn is the manager and owner of SEH Fernley LLC, a special purpose entity whose primary business purpose is to own and develop real estate for an infrastructure development project.
The Company may create and operate other special purpose and pass-through entities typically organized as limited liability companies in order to own real estate and issue additional securities. These entities will be consolidated into these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Notes, if and when created.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries J.W. Korth, KDM MFB LLC, KDM Funding I LLC, KDM Nagog Park LLC, KDM Beyer Drive Holdings LLC, KDM Capital Management LLC, KDM Capital Partners LP, KDM Capital LLC, KDM Asset Management LLC, KDM Stafford LLC, SEH Fernley LLC, Sustainable Energy Holdings (NV) LLC and KDM Seaton Colyton Holdings LLC, in which KDM owns a controlling interest.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) and the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
| 8 |
We have condensed certain categories of information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to enhance the readability and understanding of those statements by making them more succinct. As a result, certain footnote disclosures we normally include in our annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted but remain prepared in accordance with US GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, we have made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows. Our interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all money market accounts, highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025:
6/30/2026 | 6/30/2025 | 12/31/2025 | ||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Restricted Cash | ||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||
The Company maintains cash and restricted
cash balances at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these
balances. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures eligible accounts up to $
MORTGAGE VALUATION
Mortgages that are current are carried at the principal value owed by the borrower as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, according to the amortization schedule for the loans, amortized cost. Mortgages owned as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are current. The net present value of the servicing revenue is recorded as mortgage servicing rights at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the change in the fair value is recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as an unrealized gain on mortgages.
MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES (“MSNs”)
The Company primarily funds the mortgage
loans (”CM Loans”) that it makes by issuing MSNs in series, each of which MSN series is secured by the mortgage or mortgages
funded from proceeds of the MSN series. Our MSNs have been funded in multiple ways, including private placements, SEC registered offerings,
loan participations, and Rule 144A offerings. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has issued MSNs secured by these loans in the amount of
$
PORTFOLIO LOANS
The Company recognizes loans made with
its own capital, or pieces of those not securitized or sold via participation, under the caption “Portfolio Loans” on the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. This number also includes the cash we have invested in loans on our
Warehouse LOC as “haircut capital.” As of June 30, 2026, the Company has issued Portfolio Loans in the amount of $
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
The Company purchases small balance
commercial loans classified as held for sale which are carried at the lower of amortized cost basis or fair market value, where gains
and losses are recognized upon sale as realized loss on loans held for sale on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
which is $
| 9 |
PARTICIPATIONS
From time to time the Company sells
all or part of its mortgage loans as loan participations to banks or other lending institutions that prefer to hold their mortgage investments
in that manner. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had issued loan participations in the amount of $
GOODWILL
FASB ASC Section 350 requires an annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value or there is an indication that impairment may exist, a second step must be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. Management conducted its annual assessment of goodwill impairment and determined that there were no indicators of goodwill impairment and therefore did not record an impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are generated from origination fees, servicing fees, underwriting income, and leasing revenue.
Origination Fees
Loan origination fees represent revenue earned from originating mortgage loans, net of any credits given to the borrower. Loan origination fees generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts and are deferred and recognized as revenue over the life of the loan. The associated loan origination costs are also deferred and recognized as expense over the life of the loan. The deferred portion of the loan origination fees is netted against the deferred portion of the loan origination costs, which include mortgage broker expenses, and reported as a net deferred revenue liability on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Servicing Fees
Loan servicing fees represent revenue earned for servicing loans for various investors. Loan servicing fees are a percentage of the outstanding unpaid principal balance and represent the difference between the CM Loan interest received and the MSN interest payable. Servicing Fees are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are received; similarly, loan servicing expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
Underwriting Income
Underwriting income represents revenue earned by J.W. Korth for underwriting and distribution of the Company’s securities. Revenues from underwriting income are recognized on settlement date of the trades.
Leasing Revenue
Leasing revenue represents revenues
generated at rental properties majority-owned and controlled by KDM through operating leases. Leasing revenues are generated through KDM
Seaton Colyton Holdings, in which the Company holds a controlling interest, and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, KDM Stafford
LLC, KDM Nagog Park, and KDM Beyer Drive Holdings LLC. Leasing revenue generated from operating leases are recognized over the lease term
on a straight-line basis. We recorded leasing revenue of $
Investment Interest
Investment Interest represents the Fund's interest income from its investments, including interest earned on loans and interest earned on cash balances. Interest income is recognized over the term of the investment based on the principal amount outstanding and is recognized as earned.
LEASES
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The standard requires organizations to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial condition and disclose key information about leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous US GAAP. As part of the adoption of this standard, the Company recognizes lease liabilities with a corresponding ROU leased asset of approximately the same amount based on the present value of the remaining lease payments pursuant to current leasing standards for existing operating leases.
The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires assumptions for the expected volatility of the share price of our common stock, the expected dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the stock-based award.
| 10 |
Since the Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, we do not have sufficient Company specific information regarding the volatility of our share price on which to base an estimate of expected volatility. As a result, we use the historical volatilities of similar entities within our industry as the expected volatility of our share price.
The expected dividend yield is as the Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate it will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future on its common stock.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant date with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock-based award.
Since the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term, the Company utilizes the simplified method to calculate the expected term of stock-based awards based on the average of the vesting term and contractual term of the award.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Unrealized Gain on Mortgages
The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated. The changes to the net present value which is determined by the determination of the fair value of the assets are recognized through an adjustment to the unrealized gain/loss in each reporting period. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. We use a third-party to calculate this value.
DUE TO CLEARINGHOUSE BROKERS
J.W. Korth operates as an SEC and FINRA
registered securities broker dealer. The securities transactions are traded through broker clearinghouses and, upon settlement, funds
are transferred in and out of the Company’s bank accounts. Unsettled transactions create short-term payables and receivables due
to and from the broker clearinghouses. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a net amount due to the clearinghouse brokers of $
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of three to thirty-nine years.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as incurred as a component of income tax expense. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2022, and after remain subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either on a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 11 |
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025-11"). The amendments clarify and reorganize existing interim reporting guidance, including the scope of Topic 270 and interim disclosure requirements, and introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose material events or changes occurring since the most recent annual reporting period. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the respective obligation, using the straight-line method. Amortization expense of debt issuance costs is recorded in interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 3 – MORTGAGE SECURED NOTES PAYABLE
As stated in Note 2 the Company funds
the majority of the mortgage loans that it makes by issuing MSNs, which are secured by those same mortgages. As of June 30, 2026, and
December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding loans securing MSNs totaling $
The MSNs are typically five-year interest-only
notes with the principal balance due at maturity, but terms can vary. Interest rates on the senior MSNs have ranged from

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION & DISPOSITION OF RENTAL PROPERTY
In November 2022, through a Settlement
in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement, the Company obtained majority ownership and the controlling interest in rental property located in Stafford,
Virginia. As part of the agreement, a $9.5 million mortgage held by the Company was assigned to a newly created special-purpose entity,
KDM Stafford LLC, which is majority-owned and controlled by the Company. The original borrower maintained a minority interest in the special-purpose
entity. In 2025, KDM Stafford LLC moved from being a majority owned entity to a wholly owned entity. For the six months ended June 30,
2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company recorded net income and net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of $
In March 2024, through foreclosure and via a special-purpose entity named KDM Nagog Park LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, KDM now owns a 3 building office park in Acton, Massachusetts KDM Nagog Park LLC is included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Similarly, via deed in lieu of foreclosure in April 2024, KDM took ownership of an office building in St. Louis, Missouri through a wholly owned subsidiary named KDM Cupples REO LLC. After taking the office building in April 2024, in May 2025, KDM Cupples REO LLC defaulted on the ground lease of the property it owned in St. Louis, Missouri. After a meeting with the bondholders, where KDM informed all bondholders that capital would need to be raised to pay the taxes, insurance, and ground rent, in order to not default, with additional funds in order to stabilize the property, the bondholders chose to let the property go. The ground lessor terminated the ground lease and KDM Cupples REO LLC no longer owns the leasehold estate. On June 23, 2025, KDM removed the $9,000,000 asset from its statement of financial condition and canceled the related outstanding bonds. The transaction is reflected in the statements of operations in the second quarter of 2025 as a loss on foreclosures and change in fair value of mortgage secured notes.
In March 2025 and April 2025, via deed in lieu of foreclosure, KDM acquired a mixed use property in Los Angeles, California, a majority-owned via a subsidiary named KDM Seaton Colyton Holdings, LLC and an owner-occupied building in Selma, TX.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company maintains office space in Coral Gables, Florida. In November 2020, the Company signed a lease for office space in Coral Gables, Florida, for a term of sixty-two months with the right to extend the term of the lease for two additional, successive terms of two years upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term. In April 2025, the Company signed a second amendment to lease for a term of 24 months.
The Company also maintains an office in Lansing, Michigan for J.W. Korth.
The net present value of future lease payments pursuant to the operating lease agreements are included in the ROU Leased Asset and the Lease Liability accounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The ROU Leased Asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the remaining lease term. The Lease Liability represents the obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any currently pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 7 - INDEMNIFICATIONS
The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely the Company will have to make material payments under these indemnification arrangements, and it has not recorded any contingent liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for these indemnifications.
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From time to time the Company purchases MSNs and holds them in its brokerage account. These MSNs are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as mortgages owned. Also, from time to time second lien or statement of financial condition loans may be all or partially funded by entities controlled by KDM directors or employees and are serviced by KDM. In some circumstances where MSNs are in default, in the event a foreclosure becomes necessary, KDM may acquire properties as a deed in lieu of foreclosure. KDM may create special purpose entities to take title to such properties, liquidate them to satisfy any debts due under an MSN, or keep such properties and repay the MSN from its own funds. To that end, KDM created KDM Stafford LLC, KDM Nagog Park LLC, KDM Beyer Drive Holdings LLC, and KDM Seaton Colyton Holdings LLC, in order to acquire properties via foreclosure and in deed of lieu of foreclosure, respectively (see Note 5).

On June 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Stock Option Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of both incentive and non-statutory stock options to key employees, directors or other persons having a service relationship with the Company. Effective December 8, 2022, the Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of authorized option shares to shares of the Company’s unissued, or reacquired, common stock, $ par value. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $ and $, respectively of stock-based compensation expense. Stock options vest 50% at issuance and then ratably over the remaining three years vesting period until they are fully vested.

The Series B preferred stock is non-convertible
and pays cumulative dividends, if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at a rate of
The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization, or NRSRO, rating for so long as any shares of Series B preferred stock remain outstanding. If the Company fails to maintain an NRSRO rating for the Series B preferred stock of at least BBB (or the equivalent thereof), the dividend rate applicable to the Series B preferred stock will be increased by 25 basis points, and in the event the Company fails to maintain an NRSRO rating of at least BBB- (or the equivalent thereof), the dividend rate applicable to the Series B preferred stock will be increased by an additional 25 basis points. The Company’s current corporate rating is BBB.
The Series B preferred stock is redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, on or after June 29, 2026, at a redemption price per share equal to $ per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any. Subject to applicable law, the Company is required to redeem the Series B preferred stock, in each case at a redemption price equal to $ per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, as follows:
| · | 10% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2027; |
| · | 10% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2028; |
| · | 10% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2029; |
| · | 20% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2030; and |
| · | 50% of the originally-issued shares of Series B preferred stock on June 29, 2031. |
The Company’s obligations to redeem the Series B preferred stock are secured by a security interest on servicing fees, as specified in each mortgage secured note issued by the Company, which is the difference between the interest payable pursuant to the mortgage secured note and the interest receivable pursuant to the related commercial real estate mortgage loan. The requisite holders of Series B preferred stock will be entitled to exercise rights and remedies pursuant to such security interest in the event that the Company does not pay the relevant mandatory redemption price (inclusive of any accrued and unpaid dividends) within thirty (30) days of the applicable redemption date, except with respect to the final redemption date, which is not subject to a thirty (30)-day grace period.
NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not assumptions specific to the entity.
| 16 |
ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs utilized in measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value. US GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Valuation Process
Cash and cash equivalents:
The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.
Mortgages Owned and Mortgage Secured Notes Payable:
Mortgage loans for which the Company has the intention and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal balances, net of any unearned income, premiums or discounts. If a decline in fair value below the carrying balance is other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the loan is recorded at the lower fair value at each reporting period. On March 5, 2024, through a full bid in the foreclosure auction, KDM, via its subsidiary KDM Nagog Park LLC, took ownership of the office property securing KDM2021-N015. In April 2024, via a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a wholly owned subsidiary of KDM named KDM Cupples REO LLC took title to the office property securing KDM2021-N022. In May 2025, after extended attempts at negotiating with the ground owner for the property that was securing KDM2021-N022, in addition to discussions with the bondholders, KDM Cupples REO LLC defaulted on the ground lease and gave the property back to the ground owner.
Due to the fact that the Company issues notes secured directly by underlying loans, our assets and liabilities in this category have identical values and assets have offsetting balances, net of any MSNs held by the Company.
Mortgage Servicing:
The net present value of the servicing income is recognized at the time the mortgage is initiated as an unrealized gain, which is being recognized through net income at each reporting period. This value uses several inputs that are highly subjective including: discount rate, constant prepayment rate, the current interest rate environment, and default rate assumptions. Since the Company has limited operating history and a small amount of loans outstanding, it has a limited basis to predict prepayment rates and default rates, but have engaged a third party, MIAC Analytics, to assist us in our valuation of this asset. The amount is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as “Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value.”

KDM also holds a small amount of its own MSNs in an account which it may buy from time to time. These bonds are carried at the published statement values.

The Company’s policy for recording transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize such transfers as of the financial statement date. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no transfers between levels.
The Company has established valuation processes and policies for its Level 3 investments to ensure that the methods used are fair and consistent in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Company’s valuation committee performs reviews of the Level 3 investments’ valuations, which include reviewing any significant price changes reported from the prior period. When a Level 3 investment has a significant price change, the valuation committee reviews relevant market data to substantiate the price change.

NOTE 16 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that, through its variable interests, has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
KDM Capital Partners, LP (the “Fund”) is an investment partnership over which the Company and its related parties have a controlling financial interest. The Company holds 10.4% of the equity interest in the partnership and its CEO holds a 42.8% interest. The General Partner of the Fund is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Fund invests in loans originated by the Company and the holdings of the Fund are loan participations issued by the Company. The loan participations owned by the Fund are carried on the Company’s line of credit and are guaranteed by the Company.
The Fund’s partnership agreement provides the General Partner with complete decision-making responsibilities and grants the limited partners no substantive participating or kick-out rights. Additionally, the Company guarantees the debt used to finance the Fund’s loan investments. Accordingly, the Company determined that the Fund is a VIE subject to consolidation under the guidance of FASB ASC 810.
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE because as the holder of the controlling interest in the general partner, it has the power to direct the activities of the Fund that most significantly impact the Fund’s economic performance and, through the debt guarantee, has the obligation to absorb any expected losses of the Fund. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the VIE into its financial statements, and the Fund’s investments in loans originated by the Company are eliminated in consolidation. The loans are consolidated on the asset portion of the statements of financial condition in the Mortgages Owned caption and on the liability side in the Mortgage Secured Notes caption.
KDM is the manager and 25% owner
of Sustainable Energy Holdings (NV) LLC (“Sustainable”), which is the manager and owner of SEH Fernley LLC. SEH Fernley
LLC and its related entities own real estate positioned for infrastructure and power development. It was determined that this
venture should be categorized as a VIE because KDM is the manager of both of the primary entities of the joint venture. KDM’s
current net interest in the joint venture is approximately 25%. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, properties valued at $
NOTE 17 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company accounts for its segment information in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting. ASC 280-10 establishes annual and interim reporting standards for operating segments of a company. ASC 280-10 requires disclosures of selected segment-related financial information about products, major customers, and geographic areas based on the Company’s internal accounting methods. The Company has two business segments: Lending and Servicing and Asset Management. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance, makes operating decisions, and allocates resources based on the revenue and gross profit information from the different segments.
| 20 |
Lending and Servicing
This is KDM’s core business segment and includes consolidation of the Fund and J.W. Korth. Management evaluates the performance of this segment using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, dividends, and amortization (“EBITDDA”), which also excludes the unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s MSRs. This is an operating view of the business segment, so excludes the cost of financing the business and the future cash flows from loan servicing. These numbers do include salaries from all employees, including those who work across both business segments. Below are the consolidated profit and loss statements and assets:

Asset Management
While we view this business segment as necessary to support the Lending and Servicing segment, it also clearly has a very different set of metrics and we look at each property’s profit and loss statement independently. The numbers we use to manage the properties are primarily driven by total occupancy, rent per square foot, and net operating income. Below are the consolidated profit and loss statements and statement of assets of the four properties KDM owns in Stafford, Virginia (specialty office), Acton, Massachusetts (office), Selma, TX (office), Los Angeles, California (mixed use), and SEH Fernley LLC and Sustainable Energy Holdings (NV) LLC,

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following is a discussion of our historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with (i) our unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 1, 2026; and (iii) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2025 Form 10-K. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the statements we make in this section due to a number of factors that are discussed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Overview
Korth Direct Mortgage Inc. (“KDM,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) began operations in October of 2016. We were founded by J. W. Korth & Company, LP, a FINRA and SEC registered broker-dealer, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary.
Our principal executive offices are located at 135 San Lorenzo Avenue, Suite 600, Coral Gables, Florida 33146, and our telephone number is (305) 668-8485. Our website address is www.korthdirect.com. We also operate under the trade name KDM Financial, and our principal subsidiary is J.W. Korth & Company, Limited Partnership (“J. W. Korth”).
We are licensed in Florida as a Mortgage Lender Servicer. Our NMLS License Number is 1579547.
We originate, fund and service loans which are made to commercial borrowers. The loans are held by KDM as the lender. We fund our loans in a variety of ways, including directly in the capital markets through issuance of Mortgage Secured Notes (“MSNs” or “Notes”), which are sold through J.W. Korth as underwriter or placement agent through exemptions from registration available under Rule 144A, Regulation D, and other exemptions from registration. We also fund loans via loan participations and direct investments as well as on our warehouse line.
In July of 2022, we created an additional subsidiary to issue our MSNs, KDM Funding I LLC (“KDMF”). KDMF solely issues the Notes and does not have any other operations and there are no stand-alone financial statements prepared for KDMF. KDM is the servicer of the loans. The revenue and expenses associated with the Note issuance and the underlying loans are consolidated into the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, when reporting on deal level information, we will break out the deals by issuer.
KDM has a number of special purpose entities that it manages including KDM Capital Management LLC, KDM Capital Partners LP, KDM Funding I LLC, KDM Stafford LLC, KDM Nagog Park, LLC, KDM Beyer Drive Holdings LLC, KDM Seaton Colyton Holdings LLC, SEH Fernley LLC, Sustainable Energy Holdings (NV) LLC and KDM Asset Management, LLC.
Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 2026
The Company generated revenues of $6,442,463 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $2,412,419 (27%), compared with revenues of $8,854,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decline in revenue is primarily due to a decline in origination, as well as a reduction in servicing revenue resulting from loan payoffs. As of June 30, 2026, the Company owned mortgages of $264,456,052 compared with mortgages of $285,416,050 as of December 31, 2025, and $369,855,725 as of June 30, 2025, due primarily to two large loan payoffs of $97,500,000.
Gross profit decreased by $1,003,542 to $5,429,725 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with gross profit of $6,433,267 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in gross profit was due to the decline in new lending volume and the loss of an REO property.
Operating expenses were $5,015,248 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was an increase of $372,347 (8%) compared with operating expenses of $4,642,901 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a newly acquired real estate owned (“REO”) property.
Other income decreased by $3,233,946 to $402,095 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with other income of $3,636,041 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a significant gain on foreclosure recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025, that did not recur in the current period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $214,400 in income tax expense compared with $1,360,049 of income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
| 27 |
Net income attributable to Korth Direct Mortgage, Inc. is $215,541 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with net income of $3,985,160 during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Financial Condition for the six months Ended June 30, 2026
The Company’s Total Assets were $371,838,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and $380,854,013 as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we had $2,190,533 in cash and cash equivalents, $4,879,381 in restricted cash, loans totaling $279,907,435, consisting of $264,456,052 in mortgages and participations, $7,226,651 in portfolio loans, and Mortgage Servicing Rights with a fair value of $8,224,732 on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company closed on a $100,000,000 financing repurchase facility on October 13, 2023. From time to time, we may need additional haircut capital to use the repurchase facility, which we may fund in a variety of ways, on either a short or long-term basis. Haircut capital is the cash on hand necessary to fund the portion of the loan not funded by the facility. The Company generates servicing revenues on its Mortgages owned with maturity dates ranging from July 2026 to June 2037 as well as income from its investments and portfolio loans with maturity dates ranging from July 2026 to September 2035.
The Company guaranteed a loan to KDM Nagog Park LLC for $3,000,000 in order to finance the tenant improvements and leasing commissions for stabilization of the property. While current liquidity is sufficient to sustain ongoing operations, we anticipate raising additional capital to fund our lending and development in the coming months. Additionally, we are actively raising capital in KDM Capital Partners LP (the “Fund”).
Status of KDM Loans
As of June 30, 2026, there are 2 loans in payment default. Additionally, the Company has three properties currently in various stages of the foreclosure process.
The current commercial real estate mortgage financing market remains a challenge for many of our borrowers. The office sector, in particular, continues to experience low valuations, including on properties within our portfolio that are performing. Bondholders can expect that, if it is in the best interest of the Noteholders (i.e., the loan would otherwise default due to inability to refinance elsewhere), that KDM may need to extend currently performing loans for additional full 5 year terms so long as the properties and loans are otherwise well-tenanted and in good condition. For loans that are not performing, KDM plans to aggressively pursue remedies available to it.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have no material positions subject to market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such item is defined by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a - 15(f). Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, as required by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15(c). In making our assessment, we have utilized the criteria set forth by the 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We concluded that based on our evaluation our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2026.
