Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Dream Homes & Development Corporation is a regional builder and developer of new single-family homes and subdivisions, as well as a market leader in coastal construction, elevation and mitigation. In the five years that have passed since Superstorm Sandy flooded 30,000 owner-occupied homes, Dream Homes has helped hundreds of homeowners to rebuild or raise their homes to comply with new FEMA requirements.

In addition to the coastal construction market, Dream Homes will continue to pursue opportunities in new single and multi-family home construction, with 3 new developments totaling 119 units under contract and in development. Dream Homes’ operations will include the development and sale of a variety of residential communities, including construction of semi-custom homes, entry-level and first time move-up single-family and multi-family homes.

In addition to the New Jersey market, the Company, through its Dream Building LLC subsidiary, has become licensed in Florida to pursue recent opportunities for elevation, restoration, renovation and new construction brought about by the damage caused by recent hurricanes. Initial markets to be targeted are located primarily in the southwest portion of the state, between Naples and Cape Coral.

In addition to the Company’s construction operations, the Company holds a bi-monthly “Dream Homes Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar”, and publishes an informational blog known as the “Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog”. The Rebuilding Seminar is an educational tool for homeowners who need rebuilding or renovations. This seminar has been presented steadily since early 2013, and is designed to educate and assist homeowners in deciphering the confusion about planning and executing complex residential construction projects. A professional team attends each seminar and presents on a diverse variety of topics, including expert advice from architects, engineers, finance people, attorneys, project managers, elevation professionals and builder/general contractors. The “Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog” is an educational platform written by Vincent Simonelli, which offers comprehensive advice on all aspects of construction, finance, development and real estate. The Blog is located at http://blog.dreamhomesltd.com.

History

Dream Homes & Development Corporation was originally incorporated as The Virtual Learning Company, Inc. (“Virtual Learning”) on January 6, 2009 as a Nevada corporation with 75,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized, of which 70,000,000 shares are common shares ($.001 par value), and 5,000,000 shares are preferred shares ($.001 par value).

On March 14, 2017, Virtual Learning changed its name to Dream Homes & Development Corporation (“DHDC”). DHDC maintains a web site at www.dreamhomesltd.com as well as a blog, located at http://blog.dreamhomesltd.com.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DHDC and its wholly owned subsidiary DBL (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy used in measuring fair value, as follows:

● Level 1 inputs are quoted prices available for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

● Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

● Level 3 inputs are less observable and reflect our own assumptions.

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable to related parties. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable to related parties approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

Revenue recognition:

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, in accordance with the following five-step process:

For the periods presented prior to the adoption of ASC 606, revenues from long-term construction contracts were recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.”

The Company recognizes construction contract revenue over time using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Cost of revenue includes an allocation of depreciation, amortization and general overhead cost. Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined.

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its construction contracts with periods typically extending for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project.

The Company classifies construction-related receivables and payables that may be settled in periods exceeding one year from the balance sheet date, if any, as current assets and liabilities consistent with the length of time of its project operating cycle. For example:

Contract liabilities result when either: 1) costs are incurred related to certain claims and unapproved change orders, or 2) the appropriate contract revenue amount has been recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion accounting method, but a portion of the revenue recorded cannot be billed currently due to the billing terms defined in the contract. Claims occur when there is a dispute regarding both a change in the scope of work and the price associated with that change. Unapproved change orders occur when there is a dispute regarding only the price associated with a change in scope of work. For both claims and unapproved change orders, the Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, when it is determined that recovery of incurred cost is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated.

Change in Estimates:

The Company’s estimates of contract revenue and cost are highly detailed and many factors change during a contract performance period that result in a change to contract profitability. These factors include, but are not limited to, differing site conditions: availability of skilled contract labor: performance of major material suppliers and subcontractors: on-going subcontractor negotiations and buyout provisions: unusual weather conditions: changes in the timing of scheduled work: change orders: accuracy of the original bid estimate: changes in estimated labor productivity and costs based on experience to date: achievement of incentive-based income targets: and the expected, or actual, resolution terms for claims. The factors that cause changes in estimates vary depending on the maturation of the project within its lifecycle. For example, in the ramp-up phase, these factors typically consist of revisions in anticipated project costs and during the peak and close-out phases, these factors include the impact of change orders and claims as well as additional revisions in remaining anticipated project costs. Generally, if the contract is at an early stage of completion, the current period impact is smaller than if the same change in estimate is made to the contract at a later stage of completion. Management focuses on evaluating the performance of contracts individually and uses the cumulative catch-up method to account for revisions in estimates. Material changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. 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 the provision for income tax in the statements of operations. The Company evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of its deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance when realization of the assets is not reasonably assured.

The Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (basic net loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 606). The purpose of this ASU is to converge revenue recognition requirements per GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU were originally effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted by the FASB; however, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date after public comment respondents supported a proposal to delay the effective date of this ASU to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 and adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, “Topic 842”), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. Topic 842 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and therefore have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.

2 - Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is summarized as follows:

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $ 6,230 and $4,913, respectively.

Lacey Township, New Jersey, “Dream Homes at the Pines”, Contract

On December 15, 2016, the Company acquired from General Development Corp. (“GDC”) rights to a contract to purchase over 9 acres of undeveloped land without amenities in Lacey Township, New Jersey (the “Lacey Contract or Dream Homes at the Pines”) for $15,000 cash (paid in December 2016) and 100,000 restricted shares of Company common stock (issued in April 2017) valued at $5,000. GDC acquired the rights to the contract from DHL on December 14, 2016 for $10,000 cash. As discussed in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies under Line of Credit, the Company also has an available line of credit of $500,000 with GDC.

The Lacey Contract between DHL and the seller of the land was dated March 18, 2016 and provides for a $1,000,000 purchase price with closing on or about 60 days after memorialization of final Development Approvals has been obtained. DHL paid the seller a $10,000 refundable deposit in March 2016 pursuant to the Lacey Contract. In the event the transaction has not closed on at least a portion of the property within 24 months of the completion of the Due Diligence Period (as may be extended by two 6- month extensions), the seller has the option of terminating the contract. Notwithstanding this provision, the Company retains the right at all times to waive any remaining contingencies and proceed to close on the property.

Due diligence for the above property was completed as of May 17, 2016, and all costs were incurred by Dream Homes Ltd., which was in the contract for the property at the time. No additional costs for due diligence have been incurred by the Company, nor are any anticipated. The Company will incur all current costs associated with this property necessary to obtain all approvals, acquire the land, install the infrastructure and prepare the property to commence construction.

In order to obtain all developmental approvals and be prepared to begin installing infrastructure, various permits and engineering work are required. These permits include but are not limited to township subdivision, county, municipal utility authority, CAFRA (NJ Department of Environmental Protection) and NJ Department of Transportation. To date, design engineering has been completed and a CAFRA application has been prepared and submitted to the environmental scientist, along with a check for $36,750 payable to the NJ DEP. Application for this permit was made in April 2017. As of this date, the CAFRA application has been put on hold pending a determination if the township will be approved by the State of New Jersey for a CAFRA Town Center designation. A Lacey Township Planning Board meeting was held on December 11, 2017. Additional information was requested from the board and the next meeting will be scheduled upon receipt of outside agency permits and the other requested information.

It is anticipated that complete development approvals will cost approximately $50,000 more to complete. In addition to these approval costs and acquisition costs, infrastructure costs are anticipated to cost approximately $1,000,000. The total amount of funding required to acquire and make this property ready for home construction is approximately $2,090,000.

The Company may need to seek loans from banks to finance this project. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deal may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for this particular property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title to the property.

Berkeley Township, New Jersey, “Dream Homes at Tallwoods”, Contract

On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired from DHL rights to a contract to purchase over 7 acres of land in Berkeley Township, NJ (the “Tallwoods Contract or Dream Homes at Tallwoods”) for 71,429 restricted shares of Company common stock (issued in April 2017). The Tallwoods Contract between DHL and the seller of the land was dated January 5, 2017 and provides for a $700,000 purchase price with closing on or about 60 days after final development approvals have been obtained and memorialized. DHL paid the seller a refundable $10,000 deposit in January 2017 pursuant to the Tallwoods contract.

The due diligence period associated with this property expired on March 4, 2017 and all costs associated with same were paid by Dream Homes Ltd. prior to the expiration date. The Company will incur no further costs related to the due diligence aspect of this purchase. The Company will incur all current and future costs associated with this property necessary to obtain all approvals, acquire the land and prepare the property to commence construction.

The land is currently improved with streets and all public utilities in place. As such, the necessary steps required to bring the property through the approval process involve primarily design engineering. Since the property is on an improved street, a major subdivision application will be filed with the township, which will create 13 conforming buildable lots from the existing single 7 acre parcel. Accordingly, the remaining costs will primarily involve engineering and approval costs, as opposed to costs associated with the installation of infrastructure.

At this time, the Company estimates that the total engineering and approval costs will be approximately $40,000. The amount of money required to purchase the property is $700,000 of which $10,000 is currently on deposit. The Company has made application to the Berkeley Township Zoning Board.

In the event the transaction has not closed on at least a portion of the Property within 12 months of the completion of the Due Diligence Period (as may be extended by two 6-month extensions), the seller has the option of terminating the contract. Notwithstanding this provision, the Company retains the right at all times to waive any remaining contingencies and proceed to close on the property.

The Company may need to seek loans from banks to finance this project. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deal may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for this particular property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title to the property.

Lacey Township, New Jersey, “Dream Homes at Forked River”, Marina Contract

The Company has acquired the rights to a purchase contract via contract assignment for 48 waterfront townhomes with boat slips in Lacey, NJ. The project is currently in the approval process and significant engineering, environmental, traffic and architectural work has been completed. The property is a waterfront property, and is partially improved with all boat slips currently installed, the Department of Transportation permit received and the curb cut from Route 9 in place.

On December 8, 2017, the Company acquired from DHL rights to a contract to purchase over +/- 7.5 acres of land in Lacey Township, NJ (the “Marina Contract or Dream Homes at Forked River”) for 162,200 restricted shares of Company common stock (committed but not issued as of April 16, 2018). The Contract between DHL and the seller of the land was dated February 24, 2016 and provides for a $2,166,710 purchase price with closing on or about 60 days after final development approvals have been obtained and memorialized. DHL paid the seller a refundable $25,000 deposit in February 2016 pursuant to the Marina contract.

The due diligence period associated with this property expired on May 1, 2016 and all costs associated with same were paid by Dream Homes Ltd. prior to the expiration date. The Company will incur no further costs related to the due diligence aspect of this purchase. The Company will incur all current and future costs associated with this property necessary to obtain all approvals, acquire the land and prepare the property to commence construction.

The land is currently approved for a marina and it is the Company’s intention to modify the approvals to a townhome use, as per the ordinance. The property is currently unimproved. As such, the necessary steps required to bring the property through the approval process involve design engineering as well as environmental approvals. Accordingly, the remaining costs will primarily involve engineering, legal and approval costs.

At this time, the Company estimates that the total engineering and approval costs will be approximately $100,000. The amount of money required to purchase the property is $2,430,000 of which $25,000 is currently on deposit.

The Company may need to seek loans from banks to finance this project. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deal may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for this particular property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title to the property.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined that this project is impaired and wrote off the capitalized deposit and costs.

Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, “Dream Homes at Radio Road”, Contract

On March 14, 2018, the Company signed a contract to purchase 4 improved lots in Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ (the “Dream Homes at Radio Road”) for a total of $260,000. The Contract between the Company and the seller of the land provides for a $65,000 per lot purchase price with closing occurring on a rolling basis, as each house is built and sold. In addition, the Company has obtained a term sheet on April 5, 2018 and is waiting for a formal commitment from 1^st Constitution Bank for a funding facility comprised of acquisition and development funding.

71 Sheridan Street, Waretown, NJ – Property purchased for renovation and sale

On July 12, 2018, the Company purchased a single-family home property located at 71 Sheridan Street in Waretown, NJ.

10- Receivable from Arbitration and settlement of in process customer construction contract in dispute and related losses recognized and recorded by the Company

The Company began work on a construction contract in the amount of $307,000 in August 2016. Through September 30, 2017, the Company billed the customer a total of $219,565, collected a total of $130,247 from the customer, and accordingly had a balance due from the customer of $89,318 at September 30, 2017. When the customer refused to pay the $89,318 balance, the Company ceased working on the contract in July 2017, filed a request for arbitration on October 3, 2017, and filed a Construction Lien Claim on October 18, 2017. On March 6, 2018, the American Arbitration Association awarded the Company $75,000 in connection with its claim. To date the Company has not yet collected the $75,000 owing to it under the arbitration award. Based upon advice of Company Counsel it still has further legal actions available to it to ultimately facilitate payment from the customer of the $75,000 in the contract dispute. Accordingly, at December 31, 2017 the Company has recognized a loss of $14,318 on the write-down of accounts receivable from this customer which has been reflected as a reduction in revenue from construction contracts and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2017.

At December 31, 2017, there was a “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings” asset relating to the Arbitration Award disputed contract of $48,419 representing the difference between the amount billed to the customer of $219,565 and costs and estimated earnings of $267,984 through December 31, 2017. Accordingly, at December 31, 2017 the Company has also recognized a loss of $48,419 on the write-down of the “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings” asset attributable to this disputed customer contract, which has been reflected as a reduction in revenue from construction contracts and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2017. Over the life of this contract the Company recognized a cumulative gross profit of $17,658 through December 31, 2017, which is net of a negative gross profit of ($9,012) for the year ended December 31, 2017, based upon the write-down of $14,318 described in the preceding paragraph and the $48,419 write-down described in this paragraph, which aggregate to $62,732.
