EXECUTIVE PARTNERS



Kevin Yoo, CEO

EAC is currently working very hard on getting financing on our properties and finishing off unfinished projects. We know we have gone beyond the original time period for many of our promissory notes with our Investor Partners. For this reason, we are extremely motivated to finish the process. There are no good explanations for the delay but that getting good financing was much harder than we expected and finding good partners, contractors, and others has also been a difficult challenge. Every one of our Investor Partners have entrusted their money to us, and as the CEO of this company, I am first committed to protecting and getting your principal back to you as fast as we can so you can invest this money elsewhere. I am then committed very much to get you the return promised to you. This will take getting financing as quickly as we can and will even take some of my own cash to make all of our Investor Partners whole. We have two strategies to get financing done. First, is an institutional lender called 5Arch out of Irvine, California with whom I have qualified and will be getting South Bend, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois refinanced. Two, is with Home Point Financial with whom John Hostetler, our CFO has qualified and will be getting Jacksonville, North Carolina refinanced. We very much appreciate everyone being patient with us. The Investor Partners of EAC have allowed us to grow and get to where we are. We have rewarded you richly in the past for this. And we are determined to reward all of you as richly in the current investments in short order. Vil Nikollaj, our new COO has outlined for us exactly how that will occur with each of our projects. As we pay off each project, I will be sure to reach out to each and every one of you personal emails explaining everything.

John Hostetler, CFO

Updates to come.

The general contractor had some family issues, which caused some delays. He is back working on getting all final bids. Preliminary numbers appear under the original scope. The land owner is still on board with the project and gas started on groundwork to preserve the current permits, which helps both cost and timeline. Tentative closing end of February.



MANAGING PARTNERS



Chad Urbshott, Managing Partner

325 Cedar:
The borrowers were scheduled to make their first monthly payment this month and paid on Jan 3. I’ll start to market this note in March to get it sold in April.

3539 Judy:
Foreclosure was held up because of missing documentation coming from the old servicer. This has been recovered and we are back on track. I will be at a conference this week close to the attorney’s office and will drop in to say hello and make sure we’re moving as quickly as possible with this an any other notes in legal.

2275 Union Ave:
It was discovered last month that the contract was already cleared so we now own the house without the note attached to it. It is currently being cleaned out and my realtor has a few interested investors that will look at it next week. If needed we will then list the property for sale but are hoping one of her investors will pick it up and we can close within a couple of weeks.

510 High Grove Ave:
The borrower missed the last couple of payments so the sale is stalled for now. The servicer is seeing what the borrowers are able to do to get caught up with payments. I have also asked that a demand letter be sent just in case so that we can proceed with cancellation of contract if needed without delay although I’m confident that they will make up the missed payments.

4113 Huston Ave:
Foreclosure was held up because of missing documentation coming from the old servicer. This has been recovered and we are back on track. I will be at a conference this week close to the attorney’s office and will drop in to say hello and make sure we’re moving as quickly as possible with this an any other notes in legal.
