is currently in a cyclical downturn and the recent decrease in home sales will have an adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations. Street Journal, home prices continued to rise by 6.6% in October 2022 from the prior year although the increase was the lowest since June 2020 putting further pressure on the pace of home sales. For that period, existing-home sales fell for the ninth straight month, the longest streak of declines on record. Sales of previously owned homes declined 5.9% in October from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.43 million, the weakest rate since May 2020 according to the National Association of Realtors. October sales fell 28.4% from a year earlier, the biggest annual decline since February 2008. Home sales have been declining each month since February 2022, the longest stretch since the NAR began tracking this data in 1999. From their recent peak in January 2022, existing-home sales have dropped about 32%. The housing market has slowed abruptly this year due to a rapid increase in mortgage rates which are approximately double what they were in October 2021, which has raised borrowing costs for home buyers. At the same time, median sale prices on existing homes have continued to rise, although the rise was the slowest since June 2020, increasing by 6.6% in October 2022. This combination of higher mortgage rates and higher sales prices has kept many sellers from selling, keeping inventory tight, and has pushed many prospective buyers, especially first-time home buyers, out of the market. The housing-market slowdown is expected to persist in 2023 because home-buying affordability is near its lowest level in decades. Any decline in home sales directly affects the productivity and income of our agents who are paid only upon the closing of their clients' home purchase or sale. A prolonged depression in home sales will force the least successful agents out of the industry and a decrease in the number…for our Common Stock and Warrants may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown…

for our Common Stock and Warrants may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and minimal profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share and/or Warrant price. offering price for the Units will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices for our Common Stock and Warrants that will prevail in the open market following this Offering. The market for our Common Stock will be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our share and Warrant prices will be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future, although such fluctuations may not reflect a material change to our financial condition or operations during any such period. Such volatility can be attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our Common Stock will, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, likely be sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our Common Stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our minimal profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance. highly volatile, our Common Stock could be subject to rapid…market for real estate related stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor…

By creating a custom solution offering a unique experience, our agents are able to guide their clients seamlessly through what may be the most expensive purchase of their lifetime.
to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a downturn in our local residential real estate market in 2020. However, our local real estate market rebounded significantly in 2021 and continues to be strong as the pandemic has caused what appears to be a large migration into our market areas from other states. Because nearly all of our sales agents, who are independent contractors, were working remotely before the pandemic struck, and because Florida did not mandate stay-at-home orders like many other states, the manner in which our business is conducted during the pandemic has not changed significantly and has did not affected affect the productivity of our sales agents in 2022 or in 2021.

driver of our past, and we believe, our future growth is our ability to create revenue by referring or requiring that our agents and our franchisees' agents use the different business services that we provide. For example, all agents new to our Company are required to have a "coach" and to attend multi-day training sessions to learn the Company's philosophy, technology and business practices. Concurrently, the agent works with his or her coach in obtaining listings, working with consumers and closing transactions. All of these activities are run through our La Rosa Coaching, LLC subsidiary. We expanded our coaching offerings in the third quarter of 2021 to teach advanced techniques for team building, personal growth, and business development, which we believe will provide increased revenue at a nominal increase in cost to us. In addition, unlike other residential real estate brokerages, we encourage our sales agents to pursue commercial real estate transactions and require them to utilize the services of our commercial real estate company La Rosa CRE, LLC. We anticipate acquiring other complementary businesses, such as title and insurance agencies and a mortgage brokerage, after the closing of this O6ffering Offering to enhance our gross revenues and profit margins.
from established residential real estate companies such as RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., Keller Williams Realty, Inc., HomeSmart, Realogy Holdings, Corp., which franchises the Coldwell Banker and Century 21 brands, as well as from internet-based real estate brokers including Realtor.com, Fathom Holdings Inc., Redfin.com, and Zillow.com, brokers offering deeply discounted commissions like SimpleShowing Holdings, Inc., Houwzer LLC and Real Estate Exchange, Inc. (Rexhomes.com), and "flat fee" brokers such as Homie Technology, Inc., Cottage Street Realty, LLC (FlatFeeGroup.com) and Trelora, Inc. These companies do not provide the same personalized brokerage services that we do and emphasize low price commissions and a do-it-yourself philosophy. We believe that our highly trained agents who work one-on-one with their clients are able to can successfully close residential real estate transactions with a high level of consumer satisfaction that redounds to us in future business and referrals.

Because of the voting
Because of the voting control held by Mr. La Rosa, we are considered a "controlled company" within the meaning of the listing standards of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a "controlled company" may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement to have a board of directors that is composed of a majority of independent directors.

As a company with less
As a company with less than $1.07 $1.235 billion in revenue during our last completed fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company, we:
are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley Act");

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a "smaller reporting company" under SEC rules.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a "smaller reporting company" under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission"). For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding internal control over financial reporting, are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis, are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis disclosure.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. The JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an "emerging growth company" if we have more than $1.07 $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Further, under current rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC, or the "Commission"), we will continue to qualify as a "smaller reporting company" for so long as we have a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe and is impacting economic activity worldwide. The pandemic poses significant risks to our business and our employees, franchisees and agents. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our business and that of our franchisees in 2020. The pandemic poses the risk of an extended disruption to our business, that of our franchisees and other business partners, and the housing market generally, due to the impact of the disease itself, actions intended to limit or slow its spread, and other factors. These include government-imposed lockdowns, restrictions on travel or transportation, social distancing requirements, limitations on the size of gatherings, policies that ban or severely limit in-person showings of properties, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings and businesses, cancellation of events, curtailing other activities and quarantines.

The residential real estate market tends to be cyclical and typically is affected by changes in general economic conditions which are beyond our control. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets, levels of unemployment, consumer confidence and the general condition of the U.S. and the global economy. The residential real estate market also depends upon the strength of financial institutions, which are sensitive to changes in the general macroeconomic environment. Lack of available credit or lack of confidence in the financial sector could impact the residential real estate market, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the cyclicality of the real estate market, we cannot predict whether this several year period of sustained growth will continue, whether mortgage rates will remain at historically relatively low levels and whether home prices will continue to climb. The U.S. has experienced housing "bubbles" in the past which have burst, resulting in significant price declines, mortgage defaults and home foreclosures by lenders, the last one occurring in the early 2000's.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS") reported that
Fannie Mae, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), a U.S. government sponsored mortgage loan facilitator, broad-based measure of goods and services costs, rose 0.4 percent in October 2022 on a seasonally adjusted basis, the same increase as in September. The BLS noted that the August October 2022 Consumer Price Index showed core prices (excluding energy and food) rising 0.3% after rising 0.6% over in September and was up 7.7% for the month to 6.3% on an annual basis. twelve months ending October 2022, the smallest 12-month increase since the period ending January 2022. This increase was well above the Federal Reserve System's (the "Fed") ) targeted inflation rate of 2.0%, resulting in the Fed's continuation of its course of raising the short-term federal funds interest rate to a target range of 3.0 to 3.25% 3.75%-4.00%, the highest level since January 2008 at the September November 2022 meeting of its Open Market Committee. Fed funds rates impact interest rates on government bonds that have a correlated effect on mortgage interest rates, which, as of September 23, December 5, 2022, reached 6.32% the current average rate for a 30 year 30-year fixed rate mortgage as quoted by Fannie Mae. The Wall Street Journal noted that mortgage interest rates have not been this high since October 2008 . The national median mortgage payment was $1,839 reached 7.32% according to Bankrate.com, its highest level in August, up 33% from the start of the year. 20 years. Higher mortgage interest rates have cooled the recent hot housing market, with total existing-home sales transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, contracting by 0.4% from July 5.9% in October 2022 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.80 4.43 million in August according to the NAR. Year-over-year sales have faded by 19.9% (to 5.99 million in August 2021). 28.4%. This slow down slowdown of home sales transactions results from many would-be buyers being priced out of homeownership while many homeowners feel stuck in place, since selling would mean taking on a mortgage with a significantly higher interest rate. The decrease in the number of home sales in our market has had an adverse effect on our results of operations in the six nine months ended June September 30, 2022, and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our revenues for the rest of 2022 and likely into 2023. Any further increase in the Fed funds rate may push the U.S. economy into a recession which is likely to have a negative effect on our operations, income and financial condition.
is currently in a cyclical downturn and the recent decrease in home sales will have an adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.
According to the Wall
Street Journal, home prices continued to rise by 6.6% in October 2022 from the prior year although the increase was the lowest since June 2020 putting further pressure on the pace of home sales. For that period, existing-home sales fell for the ninth straight month, the longest streak of declines on record. Sales of previously owned homes declined 5.9% in October from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.43 million, the weakest rate since May 2020 according to the National Association of Realtors. October sales fell 28.4% from a year earlier, the biggest annual decline since February 2008. Home sales have been declining each month since February 2022, the longest stretch since the NAR began tracking this data in 1999. From their recent peak in January 2022, existing-home sales have dropped about 32%. The housing market has slowed abruptly this year due to a rapid increase in mortgage rates which are approximately double what they were in October 2021, which has raised borrowing costs for home buyers. At the same time, median sale prices on existing homes have continued to rise, although the rise was the slowest since June 2020, increasing by 6.6% in October 2022. This combination of higher mortgage rates and higher sales prices has kept many sellers from selling, keeping inventory tight, and has pushed many prospective buyers, especially first-time home buyers, out of the market.
The housing-market slowdown is expected to persist in 2023 because home-buying affordability is near its lowest level in decades. Any decline in home sales directly affects the productivity and income of our agents who are paid only upon the closing of their clients' home purchase or sale. A prolonged depression in home sales will force the least successful agents out of the industry and a decrease in the number of earning agents will have a negative impact on our financial performance and results of operations.

We compete against national and
national and international real estate brokerage franchisors as well as smaller franchisors. Our products are the brands we sell and their reputation in the marketplace. Potential franchisees, when shopping for a brand, look to see the level of support that they can receive compared to the fees and dues that they will have to pay. This is our value proposition. While the national and international brands far exceed us in financial resources, geographic coverage, marketing ability and infrastructure, we believe that our "family-oriented" style of business, based on our "three pillars" philosophy, is a strong selling point. So, while competing franchisors may offer franchisees monthly ongoing fees that are lower than those we charge, or that are more attractive in particular market environments, we believe that our "high touch" approach is able to overcome many of the factors that competitors sell. Corporate-owned competitors compete primarily on the basis of commission payments to their agents. While we believe that we are competitive in that market, our brand is not as strong as competitors who have been in the market longer and have the financial wherewithal to promote themselves in the media. Our largest competitors in this industry in the U.S. include RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., Keller Williams Realty, Inc., HomeSmart, Realogy Holdings, Corp., which franchises the Coldwell Banker and Century 21 brands, Berkshire Hathaway Homes, among others.

Our real estate franchises
Our real estate franchises generate revenue in the form of monthly ongoing royalties and fees, including monthly broker fees tied to gross commissions, training and technology fees charged to our franchisees. Our agents pay us dues out of their income from real estate transactions and new agents split their transaction-based commissions with us. Accordingly, our financial results depend upon the operational and financial success of our franchisees and their agents and our corporate agents, all of whom are independent contractors that we do not control. If industry trends or economic conditions are not sustained or do not continue to improve, our franchisees' and our agents' financial results could worsen, and our revenue may decline. We may also have to terminate franchisees more frequently in the future due to non-reporting and non-payment. Further, if franchisees fail to renew their franchise agreements our revenue from ongoing monthly fees may decrease, and profitability may be lower than in the past due to reduced ongoing monthly fees.

The residential real estate industry is subject to seasonality.
The residential real
estate industry is subject to seasonality. Sales activity is typically stronger in the spring and summer months when school is not in session compared to the fall and winter seasons. This is true even in the Southeastern U.S. where weather patterns do not change significantly with the seasons. However, extreme weather does affect our business by keeping people focused on matters other than home buying. We have historically experienced lower revenues during the fall and winter seasons, as well as during periods of unseasonable weather, which reduces our operating income, net income, operating margins and cash flow. Real estate listings precede sales, and a period of poor listings activity will negatively impact revenue. Our revenue and operating margins each quarter will remain subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may make it difficult to compare or analyze our financial performance effectively across successive quarters.

As of 2021, NAR estimated
of 2021, NAR estimated that nine in ten home sellers worked with a real estate agent to sell their home, which was consistent across all age groups (5) and 6.1 million existing homes were sold in in 2021, up from 5.6 million in 2020 according to Statista Research (February 22, 2022). Although the NAR survey indicates that the percentage of sales using agents has increased in recent years, a significant increase in the volume of private sales due to, for example, increased access to the internet and the proliferation of websites that facilitate such sales, and a corresponding decrease in the volume of sales through real estate agents could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and results of operations.

RESPA and comparable state statutes, among other things, restrict payments which real estate brokers, agents and other settlement service providers may receive for the referral of business to other settlement service providers in connection with the closing of real estate transactions. Such laws may to some extent restrict preferred vendor arrangements involving our franchisees and our Company owned brokerage business. RESPA and similar state laws also require timely disclosure of certain relationships or financial interests that a broker has with providers of real estate settlement services. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd Frank Act") contains the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (the "Mortgage Act"), which imposes a number of additional requirements on lenders and servicers of residential mortgage loans, by amending certain existing provisions and adding new sections to RESPA and other federal laws.

Cybersecurity threats and incidents
and incidents directed at us could range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems to sophisticated and targeted measures aimed at disrupting our business or gathering personal data of our customers. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including proprietary business information and personal information about our customers. Our business, and particularly our cloud-based platform, is reliant on the uninterrupted functioning of our information technology systems. The secure processing, maintenance, and transmission of information are critical to our operations, especially the processing and closing of real estate transactions. Although we employ measures designed to prevent, detect, address, and mitigate these threats (including access controls, data encryption, vulnerability assessments, and maintenance of backup and protective systems), cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption, or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties, including potentially sensitive personal information of our customers) and the disruption of business operations. Any such compromises to our security could cause harm to our reputation, which could cause customers to lose trust and confidence in us or could cause agents to stop working for us. In addition, we may incur significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information, repair of system damage, and compensation to customers and business partners. We may also be subject to legal claims, government investigation, and additional state and federal statutory requirements.

Sales of a substantial
number of shares of our Common Stock in the public markets, including sales by the Selling Stockholders, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Common Stock would have on the market price of our Common Stock. Based upon the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 29, 2022, up to 3,820,000 shares of Common Stock (or 3,925,000 shares if the underwriters exercise their Over-Allotment Option) will be eligible for sale in the public market. None of these additional shares are held by directors, executive officers or other affiliates. In addition, we have agreed to issue additional shares to CGB-TRUST-1001-01-13-22 and ELG-TRUST-1004-09-01-13 equally as assignees of consultant Bonilla Opportunity Fund I, Ltd. to obtain a 4.0% ownership interest in our Common Stock immediately after this Offering if such entities do not own such percentage, in the aggregate, at such time.

The dilution will be $9.01 $9.77 per share in the net tangible book value of the Common Stock from the assumed initial public offering price. In addition, if shares exercisable or convertible into our Common Stock are exercised and converted, and if options to purchase shares of our Common Stock under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan are granted and exercised, there could be further dilution.

We may sell Common Stock, preferred stock, convertible securities, and other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time or we may use our Common Stock as currency in an acquisition or acquisitions. If we sell issue any such securities in subsequent transactions, investors may be materially diluted.

We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Common Stock would have on the market price of our Common Stock. Based upon the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, up to 2,024,000 shares of Common Stock will be immediately eligible for sale in the public market. None of these additional shares include shares sold in this Offering, shares held by our directors and executive officers or shares subject to conversion pursuant to the terms of our convertible debt instruments or shares subject to exercise pursuant to the terms of our outstanding warrants, all of which may become eligible for sale at some time in the future. Moreover, shares of Common Stock that are either subject to employment or other agreements or reserved for future issuance under our existing equity compensation plan will also become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules, the lock-up agreements, and Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act. If these additional shares of Common Stock are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline.

As the economy moves to a
more normalized housing market and potentially into a buyers' market with six months or more of active inventory for sale, we could experience a decrease in transaction volume. As of May 2022 homes sold in Florida fell 9.16% while the number of homes for sale decreased 8.7%. As we have during similar historical market environments, we expect to experience a substantial agent migration to our 100% commission model as agents look to maximize revenue and cut their expenses. While transactions per agent may decrease, we expect to see a proportional increase in agent count which could assist the Company to capitalize on growth and expansion goals.
inventory and low interest rates created a strong sellers' market leading to escalating home sale prices during 2021. Home prices continued to climb through the remainder of 2022 as the demand for housing continued to be stronger than usual. Rising mortgage rates have begun to negatively impact existing home sales. In 2022, the 30 year fixed mortgage rate doubled from 2021. Housing starts declined as a result of the rising mortgage interest rates and affordability fell for the average home owner. Despite mortgage rate increases according to data from Florida Realtors, the statewide median sale price for single-family homes in April was $420,000, up 21.8% from the prior year. While real estate appreciation has slowed nationally, real estate appreciation in Florida remains among the highest rates in the country. The most recent quarter's appreciation rates in Florida were 5.54% which amounts to an annual appreciation rate of 24.09%. As of June 30, 2022, the typical value of homes in Florida is $397,280 according to the Zillow Home Value Index. This value is seasonally adjusted and only includes the middle price tier of homes. Florida home values have grown by 34.3% over the last twelve months and 54.5% over the last twenty-four months.
Housing starts declined as a result of the rising mortgage interest rates and affordability fell for the average home owner. Despite mortgage rate increases according to data from Florida Realtors, the statewide median sale price for single-family homes in October 2022 was $401,990, up 12.0% from the prior year and median price for condo-townhouse units was $310,00 up 19.2% over the year-ago figure. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less. While real estate appreciation has slowed nationally, real estate appreciation in Florida remains among the highest rates in the country. However, the housing market in Florida is experiencing a slow down like the rest of the country. Closed sales of single-family homes statewide in October 2022 totaled 20,837, down 24.6% year-over-year, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 8,406, also down 29% over September historical market environments, we expect to experience a substantial agent migration to our 100% commission model as agents look to maximize revenue and cut their expenses. While transactions per agent may decrease, we expect to see a proportional increase in agent count which could assist the Company to capitalize on growth and expansion goals.

are driven by the total number of sales agents in our Company, the number of sales agents closing commercial residential real estate transactions, the number of sales agents utilizing our coaching services, and the number of agents who work with our franchisees. We grew our total agent count from our founding in 2004 to approximately 2,380 2,370 agents as of the date of this prospectus.
revenue is derived from a stable set of fees paid by our brokers, franchisees and consumers. We have multiple revenue streams, with the majority of our revenue derived from commissions paid by consumers who transact business with our and our franchisee's agents, royalties paid by our franchisees, dues and technology fees paid by our sales agents and our franchisees and our franchisees' agents. Our major revenue streams come from such sources as: (i) residential real estate brokerage revenue, (ii) revenue from our property management services, (iii) franchise royalty fees, (iv) fees from the sale or renewal of franchises and other franchise revenue, (v) coaching, training and assistance fees, (vi) brokerage revenue generated transactionally on commercial real estate, and (vii) fees from our events and forums.

Various factors affected
Various factors affected our results for the periods presented in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The majority of our revenue is derived from fees and dues based on the number of agents working under the La Rosa Realty brand. Due to the low fixed cost structure of both our Company and franchise models, the addition of new sales agents generally requires little incremental investment in capital or infrastructure. Accordingly, the number of commissions producing sales agents in our Company and our franchisees is the most important factor affecting our results of operations and the addition of new agents can favorably impact our revenue and our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). Historically, the number of agents in the residential real estate industry has been highly correlated with overall home sale transaction activity. We believe that the number of agents and those that produce commissions in our network is the primary statistic that drives our revenue. Another major factor is the cyclicality of the real estate industry that has peaks and valleys depending on macroeconomic conditions that we cannot control. And finally, our revenues fluctuate based on the changes in the aggregate fee revenue per sales agent as a significant portion of our revenue is tied to various fees that are ultimately tied to the number of agents, including annual dues, continuing franchise fees and certain transaction or service-based fees. Our revenue per agent also increases in other ways including when transaction sides and transaction sizes increase since a portion of our revenue comes from fees tied to the number and size of real estate transactions closed by our agents. Given the low fixed cost structure of our franchise model, modest increases in revenue per sales agent can have a significant impact on our profitability. Our annual fee revenue per sales agent was $100 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and was $100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

management services on a contractual basis for owners of and investors in office, industrial and retail properties. These services include managing daily operations of the property, tenant background screening, overseeing the tenant application process, and accounting services. We are compensated for our services through a flat monthly management fee. We are also sometimes reimbursed for our repair costs directly attributable to the properties under management. These costs are not included in the transaction price as the customer is the party receiving these services. Property management services represent a series of distinct daily services rendered over time. Consistent with the transfer of control for distinct, daily services to the customer, revenue is recognized at the end of each period for the fees associated with the services performed. The amount of revenue recognized is presented gross for any services provided by our employees, as we control them. We generally do not control third-party services delivered to property management clients. As such, we generally report revenues net of third-party reimbursements.

In January 2021 the FASB issued ASU
ASU 2021-02 is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted under certain conditions. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB established
FASB issued ASU 2021-02, Franchisors - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 952-606). This ASU modifies the guidance applicable to franchisors under the revenue recognition standards by adding a practical expedient that allows non-public business entity franchisors to account for pre-opening services provided to a franchisee as a distinct performance obligation that is separate from the franchise license. To qualify for the new practical expedient, the pre-opening services need to be consistent with the predefined list within the standards. The ASU also allows franchisors the ability to recognize the pre-opening services as a single performance obligation. ASU 2021-02 is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted under certain conditions. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which modifies ASC 740 to reduce complexity while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances and credit quality indicators.

FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The FASB reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock instruments and made certain disclosure amendments to improve the information provided to users. In addition, the FASB amended the derivative guidance for the "own stock" scope exception (see FG 5) and certain aspects of the EPS guidance.
