OTC Markets Group
) under the symbol

The Shares in the Direct Offering are being offered and sold in a direct public offering on a
self-underwritten, best efforts
basis, which means (a) no minimum number of Shares need be subscribed for in order for the Company to consummate the sale of any of the Shares and utilize the proceeds therefrom; and (b) the Company will not use the services of an underwriter and our executive officers and directors will attempt to sell the Shares directly to investors. The intended methods of communication with potential investors include, without limitation, telephone and personal contacts.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has sold an aggregate of 30,400 shares in the Direct Offering, from which it has received gross proceeds of $456,000, which have been used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Shares in the Direct Offering will be offered for sale for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of this prospectus, unless extended by our board of directors for period or periods of up to an aggregate of an additional one hundred and eighty (180) days.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary provides an overview of all material information contained in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before making a decision to purchase our Shares offered hereby. You should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus and review our financial statements and all other information that is included in this prospectus.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to

,

and

refers to Alpha Investment Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Overview
We intend to provide capital directly to borrowers seeking financing for commercial real estate properties either for refinancing or acquisitions. These loans will encompass originating performing commercial first mortgage loans, subordinate financings, and other commercial real estate-related debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to operate our business so that we do not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, we do not plan to primarily engage in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and we do not plan to acquire investment securities (such as the above-referenced commercial mortgage-backed securities) having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the Companys total assets.
We expect to offer financing across a broad-spectrum of asset backed and commercial real asset type collateral at all points within an assets capital property type such as office, retail, industrial, multi-family, and hospitality. The Company will coordinate its lending initiatives with outside commercial real estate loan brokers, which have access to commercial real estate owners seeking financing or refinancing opportunities, and with loan origination firms that have borrowers seeking loans. We believe that this will enable ALPC to broaden its access to new Borrowers and to develop and implement financing solutions for these other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners. In the event the Company uses third party loan origination services and underwriters, the Company will cover these costs in accordance with industry standard fees.
Furthermore, Omega Commercial Finance Corporation, a publicly-held Wyoming corporation (
Omega
), who is the Companys principal stockholder, has the ability to introduce financing transactions to the Company to develop and implement customized financing solutions for borrowers. As a publicly-held financial services holding company Omega is the owner of an umbrella of diversified financial service related companies.
The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through the Direct Offering covered hereby (which has generated $456,000 in gross cash proceeds from the sale of 30,400 Shares to date), from alternative offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully complete its pending direct public offering or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives.
Investment Strategy
To identify attractive lending opportunities, the Company expects to continue to deploy its capital through the origination of commercial mortgage loans, subordinate financings and other commercial real-estate related debt investments at attractive risk-adjusted yields. The Companys targets lending opportunities that are secured by commercial real estate. The Companys underwriting includes a focus on stressed in-place cash flows, debt yields, debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-values, property quality and market and sub-market dynamics.
Recent Developments
On January 31, 2019, the Company, through Jersey Walk Phase I, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (
JWPI
), entered into a Sale of Membership Interest Agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) with CMT Developers LLC (
CMT
). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the SPV acquired 100% of CMTs membership interests, in exchange for the issuance to CMT of 3,000,000 shares of common stock registered hereunder. Through its ownership of CMT, JWPI acquired title to an approximately six-acre parcel of land in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on which 274 luxury apartments were under construction in Phase 1 of the development with an additional 400 units expected to be added in Phase II of the development. However, during the due diligence on the refinancing of the property, the Company learned that certain of the representations and warranties of CMT in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the property were incorrect in various material respects. Based on the foregoing, effective June 7, 2019, the Company rescinded the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in accordance with its terms.
6
On March 11, 2019, the Company, through Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC, a special purpose vehicle (the
SPV
) entered into an operating agreement for the SPV (the
SPV Operating Agreement
) with Alameda Partners LLC, a Utah limited liability company (
Alameda Partners
). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, Alameda Partners contributed $1,000,000 for a ten percent (10%) ownership interest in the SPV and will be the SPVs manager. The capital is being used to implement the Companys strategy of acquiring commercial real estate performing notes and support and asset acquisitions. The members of Alameda Partners have significant long-term experience in the commercial real estate industry as property developers, owners, and managers and currently hold title to over $50-million in commercial real estate assets.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 22, 2013, to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.
On March 17, 2017, Omega purchased 35,550,000 outstanding shares of the Companys common stock (the
Control Share Sale
) from Malcolm Hargrave (35,000,000 shares), DTH International Corporation (500,000 shares) and Lisa Foster (50,000 shares) for aggregate consideration of $295,000. The Control Share Sale was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered between Omega and Mr. Hargrave, acting individually and on behalf of the other selling stockholders. Upon completion of the Control Share Sale, a
Change in Control
of the Company took place and in connection therewith, Mr. Hargrave resigned as our sole director and officer and Omega, as the new majority stockholder of the Company, elected Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D. as President, Chairman of the Board and a director and Todd C. Buxton, Omegas Chief Executive Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and a director.
In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to focus the shift in the Companys business focus to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing our name from
Gogo Baby, Inc.
to
Alpha Investment Inc.
to better reflect our new business plan. The name change and a corresponding change in the Companys OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.
The Company is an
emerging growth company
under the Jobs Act and as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, including information in the section of this prospectus entitled
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made.
Alpha Investment was incorporated on February 22, 2013 under the name GoGo Baby, Inc. to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement such business plan. The Company only shifted its business focus to commercial estate and other asset-based lending activities upon completion of the Control Share Acquisition on March 17, 2017. To date, he Company has realized only minimal revenues therefrom and has no operating history in its present line of business upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur expenses associated with the implementation of our new business plan. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues from our new line of business or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any Shares you purchase.
We have a history of losses and we require substantial additional capital to execute our business plan.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not yet achieved profitable operations. We will require additional funds through the sale of Shares in the Direct Offering, receipt of conventional sources of capital or through future sales of our Shares, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders and may further dilute our book value, and that dilution may be material.
The report our independent registered public firm on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, contains an explanatory paragraph referencing our conclusion that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $2,281,217 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Securing additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
We may use the proceeds of the Direct Offering to pay for our expenses even if our business is terminated and this means you may lose your entire investment.
Any funds raised in from the Direct Offering may be used immediately for our incurred expenses, even if we are later unable to fully implement our business plan. If this occurs, you may not receive your entire investment back because either we have used it to pay for offering costs or we have decided to liquidate and we are required to pay for other debts and liabilities. You may lose your entire investment.
Any loans we make may be highly illiquid therefore we may not be able to liquidate such investments in a timely manner.
Any loans we make may be highly illiquid with no established market, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to liquidate such investments in a timely manner. Although loans and other investments we seek to make may generate current income, the return of capital and the realization of gains, if any, from such investments generally will occur only upon the partial or complete realization or disposition of such loan or investment.
10
Any Loans that are believed to fall under our commercial real estate propriety lending model can fail at any time if the following criteria is not properly vetted by ALPC. This covers the following four areas of our lending risk:
·
Conservative Lending Platform
. These conservative lending parameters often referred to as A Paper inherently contain the least amount of risk in that it undergoes very conservative underwriting and offers the lowest rates of returns.
·
Alt-A Loans
. These loans offer a bit more leeway than A Paper loans such as slightly higher loan amounts compared to the value of the property and garner slightly higher interest rates from the borrower as compared to the A Paper Loans.
·
Bridge Loans
. Commercial bridge loans are a flexible loan arrangement intended to provide short term financing until an exit strategy, such as a refinance or sale can be executed. These loans also garner higher interest rates.

Hard Money Loans
. A hard money loan is primarily secured and underwritten by the commercial real estate asset itself and not primarily as much on the borrower. These types of loans bring in higher rates than most other lending categories.
Loans made by us may become uncollectible and large amounts of uncollectible debt may materially affect our performance.
The loans made by may be highly illiquid and involve substantial risks. Many, and possibly all, of the loans will not be personally guaranteed. We will attempt to use information to help eliminate uncollectible debt resulting from bankruptcy, but no assurance can be made that we will be able to do so. If our debt portfolio contains a large portion of uncollectible debt, our performance may be negatively affected. In addition, if any borrower defaults on a loan, we may be required to expend monies in connection with foreclosure proceedings and other remedial actions which could adversely affect our performance. Certain loans may be affected negatively by economic, political, interest rate and other risks, any of which could result in an adverse change in the value of the asset that is used as collateral for the loan.
We intend to use leverage as part of our investment strategy which may substantially increase our risk of loss.
We have anticipated that certain loans will be originated or purchased using leverage available to us, thus increasing both net returns as well as risk. Although the use of leverage as part of our investment strategy may enhance returns and increase the number of investments that can be made, it may also substantially increase our risk of loss.
Our investment strategy is dependent upon servicers to originate and administer loans; failure of our servicers to originate loans in sufficient quantity and quality may cause us to fail to effectively implement our investment strategy.
We will be largely dependent upon servicers (i.e., third-party firms that specialize in loan origination and servicing) to originate and administer loans in our portfolio. Should our servicers fail to originate the loans in sufficient quantity and quality, we will be unable to effectively implement our investment strategy. Should such servicers fail to properly administer and service loans, including monitoring borrowers compliance with the terms of the relevant loan documents, collecting and forwarding loan payments to us, and adequately pursuing and protecting our rights under the loan documents, any such failure could have a material adverse effect on us and our investment operations. In addition, should any servicer default on its guaranty, if any, of a borrowers obligation to repay a loan, such default could significantly harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
In addition to servicers, we may retain mortgage brokers to introduce loans to us that satisfy our investment criteria and pay commissions to such mortgage brokers based on the value of such loans. Some of these mortgage brokers may be deemed to be affiliates of management. We believe that all commissions payable to such persons or other affiliates of management will be reasonable and consistent with industry standards.
We may appraise loans at a value that is materially different from the value ultimately realized.
We intend to make and value loans, in part, on the basis of information and data gathered from independent appraisal professionals. Although we expect to evaluate all such information and data and may seek independent corroboration when appropriate and reasonably available, we are not in a position to confirm the completeness, genuineness or accuracy of such information and data, and in some cases, complete and accurate information may not be available. It is possible that the appraised value of a loan may differ materially from the actual value ultimately realized by us with respect to such loan.
Our loan portfolio may be concentrated which could lead to increased risk.
It is possible that the portfolio of loans we make or any loan portfolio we may acquire will likely be concentrated in a limited number of loan investments. Thus, our stockholders may have limited diversification. In addition, if we make an investment in a single transaction with the intent of refinancing or selling a portion of the investment, there is a risk that we will be unable to successfully complete such a financing or sale. This could lead to increased risk as a result of having an unintended long-term investment and reduced diversification.
11
We intend to make collateralized real estate loans which will subject us to various risks associated with the real estate industry.
We intend to make loans collateralized by real estate. Therefore, an investment in us may be subject to certain risks associated with the real estate industry in general. These risks include, without limitation: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the clean-up of, and liability to third parties for damages resulting from, environmental problems; casualty or condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates. To the extent that our investments, or the assets of underlying or collateralizing our investments, are concentrated geographically, by property type or in certain other respects, we may be subject to the foregoing risks to a greater extent.
If third parties default or enter bankruptcy, we could suffer losses.
We may engage in transactions in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Under certain conditions, we could suffer losses if counterparty to a transaction were to default or if the market for certain securities and/or financial instruments were to become illiquid. In addition, we could suffer losses if there were a default or bankruptcy by certain other third parties, including brokerage firms and banks with which we do business, or to which securities have been entrusted for custodial purposes.
We may make loans or purchase investments in foreign countries which may lead to additional risks not inherent to domestic lending.
We may make loans or purchase investments in foreign countries, some of which may prove to be unstable. As with any investment in a foreign country, there exists the risk of adverse political developments, including nationalization, acts of war or terrorism, and confiscation without fair compensation. Furthermore, any fluctuation in currency exchange rates will affect the value of investments in foreign securities or other assets and any restrictions imposed to prevent capital flight may make it difficult or impossible to exchange or repatriate foreign currency. In addition, laws and regulations of foreign countries may impose restrictions or approvals that would not exist in the United States and may require financing and structuring alternatives that differ significantly from those customarily used in the United States. Foreign countries also may impose taxes on us. We will analyze risks in the applicable foreign countries before making such investments, but no assurance can be given that a political or economic climate, or particular legal or regulatory risks, might not adversely affect our investments.
Purchases of investment securities could make us subject to the Investment Company Act.
As part of our business, we intend to purchase commercial mortgage-backed securities and other commercial real estate-related debt investments, as well as engage in various direct participation equity ownership opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to operate our business so that we do not become subject to the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, we do not plan to primarily engage in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and we do not plan to acquire investment securities (such as the above-referenced commercial mortgage-backed securities) having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the Companys total assets. In the event we were to do so or to not comply with the foregoing limitations, we could inadvertently be subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, which could be costly and harm our business and financial results.
We currently rely on our executive officers and the loss of either of their services could have an adverse effect on the Company.
Until we further build up our management infrastructure, our success depends in large part upon the services of our officers, Todd C. Buxton, our CEO and Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D., our President. The loss of either of their services would currently have a material adverse effect on Alpha Investment. We are not party to an employment agreement with our either of our executive officers and do not anticipate having key man insurance in place on them in the foreseeable future. Moreover, our CEO also serves as CEO of Omega. While we do not believe that such position will materially interfere with his duties at Alpha Investment or pose any conflict of interest, there can be no assurance given in this regard.
If we are unable to attract and retain additional personnel in the commercial lending field, our ability to compete will be harmed.
Attracting and retaining qualified personnel in the commercial lending field will be critical to our success, and competition for qualified personnel is intense. We may not be able to attract and retain such personnel on acceptable terms given the competition for such personnel. The inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could harm our business and our ability to compete.
12
We will face significant competition and if we are unable to effectively compete, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be seriously harmed.
The commercial lending field is highly competitive and we will face significant competition from other lenders, including banks, insurance companies and other lenders, many of which have significantly longer operating histories and financial resources than does Alpha Investment. We believe that we will be able to effectively compete based on our ability to leverage on the industry experience, platforms and resources of Omega and its affiliates, in order to expedite and facilitate our ability to underwrite and structure complex financing transactions and enable Alpha Investment to develop and implement customized creative capital solutions for other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners. However, there can be no assurance given that we can successfully do so and if we are unable to effectively compete, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be seriously harmed.
If the investor in a September 2017 $2,500,000 Private Offering (the $2,500,000 Private Offering) exercises its right to cause the Company to repurchase the Shares subscribed for, our financial condition may be harmed.
On September 20, 2017, we consummated the sale of 166,667 Shares to a single accredited investor for $2,500,000 or $15.00 per Share in the $2,500,000 Private Offering. At closing, the aggregate gross proceeds of $2,500,000 were deposited in the escrow account of the Escrow Agent, purchasers counsel. Pursuant to the terms of the $2,500,000 Private Offering, the purchaser has the right, exercisable through June 28, 2019, as presently extended, to cause the Company to repurchase the Shares at the purchase price paid. If the purchaser exercises that right, the proceeds from the $2,500,000 Private Offering will not be released to the Company and accordingly, pending completion of the Direct Offering, our financial condition and business operations may be harmed.
Risks Related to the Companys Relationship with its Directors, Officers and Principal Stockholder
The Company does not have a policy that expressly prohibits its directors, officers and principal stockholders or their respective affiliates from engaging in their own commercial real estate lines of credit and or in business activities common with those conducted by the Company.
The Company does not have a policy that expressly prohibits its directors, officers, principal stockholders or their respective affiliates from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by the Company. The Companys code of business conduct and ethics contains a conflict of interest policy that prohibits its directors and executive officers, or whoever provides services to the Company, from engaging in any transaction that involves an actual conflict of interest with the Company,
provided
,
however
, that once the Company adds independent directors to its board, any such conflict may by a majority vote of independent directors.
ALPC, as a company, has limited experience in commercial lending and accordingly, will be dependent in significant part on its principal stockholder, Omega and its affiliates to generate loans through their network of commercial real estate professionals.
ALPC, as a company, has limited experience in commercial lending and accordingly, will be dependent in significant part on its principal stockholder, Omega and its affiliates to generate loan referrals. In addition, Omega If Omega and its affiliates are not able to do so, if their business is harmed for any reason or if there is an adverse development in the relationship between Alpha Investment and the lender financing program, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be seriously harmed
There are various conflicts of interest in the Companys relationships involving its directors and officers, which could result in decisions that are not in the best interest of the Companys stockholders. The ability of the directors and its officers and employees to engage in other business activities may reduce the time the director and officers spend managing the Companys business.
The Company is subject to conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with directors and officers. The Company has and may enter commercial real estate lines of credit with its directors and officers. The Company has invested in and may in the future invest in, or acquire, certain investments through CRE lines of credit with its directors and officers. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer occupies a similar position with Omega, our principal stockholder. There can be no assurance that any procedural protections will be sufficient to assure that these transactions will be made on terms that will be at least as favorable to the Company as those that would have been obtained in an arms length transaction.
The Company currently has a total of $8,600,000 outstanding in unsecured commercial real estate lines of credit executed with Partners South Holdings LLC and Partners South Corporation, both of which are owned by the Chairman of the Company.
The Company currently has a total of $8,600,000 outstanding in unsecured commercial real estate lines of credit executed with Partners South Holdings LLC and Partners South Corporation, both of which are owned by the Chairman of the Company. The occurrence of a default under any of the lines of credit would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, among other matters, an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital in the Direct Offering contemplated hereby.
13
The Company's business may be adversely affected if its reputation, the reputation of its directors, officers or principal stockholder or the reputation of counterparties with whom the Company associates, is harmed.
The Company may be harmed by reputational issues and adverse publicity associated with the Company, or its directors, officers or principal stockholder. Issues could include real or perceived legal or regulatory violations or could be the result of a failure in performance, risk-management, governance, technology or operations, or claims related to employee misconduct, conflict of interests, ethical issues or failure to protect private information, among others. Similarly, market rumors and actual or perceived association with counterparties whose own reputation is under question could harm the Company's business. Such reputational issues may depress the market price of the Company's capital stock or have a negative effect on the Company's ability to attract counterparties for its transactions, or otherwise adversely affect the Company.
Risks Related to Our Status as a Public Company
We are and will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.
We are and after the date of this prospectus we will continue to be required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The costs charged by professionals for accounting and legal services in connection with these reports cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our Shares, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public and we have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls and concluded that our internal controls are not effective..
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
●
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
●
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and
●
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
We will be required to include a report of management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of managements time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification requirements.
We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees. During the course of our testing, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be able to timely remediate. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
14
Based on the most recent evaluation of our internal controls as of March 31, 2019, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level in that:
●
We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
●
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Our Chief Executive Officer evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
The Jobs Act has reduced the information that the Company is
required to disclose.
Under the Jobs Act, the information that the Company will be required to disclose has been reduced in a number of ways.
As a company that had gross revenues of less than $1 billion during the Companys last fiscal year, the Company is an
emerging growth company
, as defined in the Jobs Act (an
EGC
). The Company will retain that status until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year which the Company has total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation in the manner set forth in the Jobs Act) or more; (b) the last day of the fiscal year of following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of the common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (c) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a
large accelerated filer
, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto. As an EGC, the Company is relieved from the following:
●
The Company is excluded from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (
Sarbanes-Oxley
), which otherwise would have required the Company
s auditors to attest to and report on the Company
s internal control over financial reporting. The Jobs Act also amended Section 103(a)(3) of Sarbanes-Oxley to provide that (i) any new rules that may be adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or changes to the auditors report to include auditor discussion and analysis (each of which is currently under consideration by the PCAOB) shall not apply to an audit of an EGC; and (ii) any other future rules adopted by the PCAOB will not apply to the Companys audits unless the SEC determines otherwise.
●
The Jobs Act amended Section 7(a) of the Securities Act to provide that the Company need not present more than two years of audited financial statements in an initial public offering registration statement and in any other registration statement, need not present selected financial data pursuant to Item 301 of Regulation S-K for any period prior to the earliest audited period presented in connection with such initial public offering. In addition, the Company is not required to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standard until such date as a private company (i.e., a company that is not an
issuer
as defined by Section 2(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley) is required to comply with such new or revised accounting standard. Corresponding changes have been made to the Exchange Act, which relates to periodic reporting requirements, which would be applicable if the Company were required to comply with them.
●
As long as the Company is an EGC, the Company may comply with Item 402 of Regulation S-K, which requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosure regarding executive compensation, by disclosing the more limited information required of a
smaller reporting company
.
●
In the event that the Company registers its common stock under the Exchange Act as it intends to do, the Jobs Act will also exempt the Company from the following additional compensation-related disclosure provisions that were imposed on U.S. public companies pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act: (i) the advisory vote on executive compensation required by Section 14A(a) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the requirements of Section 14A(b) of the Exchange Act relating to shareholder advisory votes on
golden parachute
compensation; (iii) the requirements of Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act as to disclosure relating to the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance; and (iv) the requirement of Section 953(b)(1)of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires disclosure as to the relationship between the compensation of the Companys chief executive officer and median employee pay.
15
Our status as an emerging growth company under the Jobs Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.
Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an
emerging growth company
and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our business, results or operations, financial condition and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Shares and this Offering
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this Direct Offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.
If you purchase Shares in the Direct Offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of $6.93 per Share, representing the difference between the assumed initial public offering price of $15.00 per Share and our pro forma net tangible book value per Share as of March 31, 2019 after giving effect to consummation of the Direct Offering, assuming all the remaining Shares offered hereby in the Direct Offering are sold.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
The future issuance of equity or of debt securities that are convertible into equity will dilute our Share capital.
We may choose to raise additional capital in the future, depending on market conditions, strategic considerations and operational requirements. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the issuance of Shares or other securities convertible into Shares, our stockholders will be diluted. Future issuances of our common stock or other equity securities, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of Shares or equity securities. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of common stock or the availability of common stock for future sales will have on the trading price of our common stock.
The ability of Omega, our principal stockholder, to effectively control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders ability to influence corporate affairs.
Omega, our principal stockholder, will own, assuming the sale of all 33,333,333 Shares offered in the Direct Offering, approximately 46.2% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Accordingly, they will be able to effectively control the election of directors, as well as all other matters requiring stockholder approval. The interests of Omega may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of Shares, business transactions with other companies, selection of other directors and other business decisions. The minority stockholders have no way of overriding decisions made by Omega. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our Shares because Omega may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that result in losses may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and
/
or may sell sufficient numbers of Shares to significantly decrease our price per Share.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act
) and is therefore, unenforceable.
16
The offering price of the Shares and the other terms of the Direct Offering have been arbitrarily determined by the Company.
The offering price of the Shares and other terms of the Direct Offering have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and bear no relationship to the Companys assets, book value, potential earnings or any other recognized criterion of value.
In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the Shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the Shares.
The Shares in the Direct Offering are being offered and sold on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis.
The Shares in the Direct Offering are being offered and sold in a direct public offering on a
self-underwritten, best efforts
basis, which means (a) no minimum number of Shares need be subscribed for in order for the Company to consummate the sale of any of the Shares and utilize the proceeds therefrom; and (b) the Company will not use the services of an underwriter and our executive officers and directors will attempt to sell the Shares directly to investors. Subscription proceeds for Shares sold in the Direct Offering will be paid directly to the Company and will not be held in a segregated or escrow account. Moreover, the Direct Offering is self-underwritten and accordingly, there is no lead underwriter who would undertake a due diligence or comparable examination of the Company, its business and affairs.
Because our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of Shares in the Direct Offering, you may not agree with how we use them and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in the direct Offering to support core business operations in the commercial real estate lending and asset backed financing sectors, strategic acquisition of cash flowing real estate companies and or real estate holdings, as well as to expand administrative and support staff, as needed and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Therefore, our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from the Direct Offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the such proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for the Company.
A liquid trading market for our Shares may not develop and be sustained.
Our Shares are quoted on the OTCPink tier of the over-the counter market operated by OTC Markets Group under the symbol
ALPC
. However, the trading market for our Shares has been extremely limited, there have only been minimal and sporadic public quotations for our Shares and there are no recent closing quotations for our Shares. A liquid trading market for our Shares may never develop or be sustained following the Direct Offering. If a liquid market for our common stock does not develop, or if developed, is not sustained, it may be difficult for you to sell Shares you purchase in the Direct Offering without depressing the market price for the Shares or at all. In addition, quotation of our securities on the OTCPink may limit the liquidity and price of our securities more than if our securities were quoted or listed on the OTCQX or OTCQB tiers of the over-the-counter market, the Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange. Further, institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict or prohibit investing in securities traded on the OTCPink tier of the over-the counter market. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock, if a liquid market develops and is sustained.
The market price for our common stock, assuming a liquid trading market develops and is sustained, may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our Share price. You may be unable to sell your Shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our common stock, assuming a liquid trading market develops and is sustained may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our Share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our Share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common stock is sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of Shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those Shares in either direction. The price for our Shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or
risky
investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products and services. 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 seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of Shares or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
17
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock, assuming a liquid market develops and is sustained, will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our Shares would be negatively impacted. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our target studies and operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The Shares in the Direct Offering are being offered and sold in a direct public offering on a
self-underwritten, best efforts
basis, which means (a) no minimum number of Shares need be subscribed for in order for the Company to consummate the sale of any of the Shares and utilize the proceeds therefrom; and (b) the Company will not use the services of an underwriter and our executive officers and directors will attempt to sell the Shares directly to investors. Subscription proceeds for Shares sold in the Direct Offering will be paid directly to the Company and will not be held in a segregated or escrow account.
We estimate that the net proceeds from the Direct Offering will be approximately $499,580,476 if all 33,333,333 Shares offered hereby are purchased, after deducting estimated expenses of the Direct Offering of $
419,524. We expect to use the net proceeds from the Direct Offering over the next twelve (12) months for the purposes set forth in the table below. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the estimated use of the net proceeds as of the date of this prospectus, assuming the sale of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Shares offered in the Direct Offering:

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has sold an aggregate of 30,400 shares in the Direct Offering, from which it has received gross proceeds of $456,000, which have been used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend on numerous factors, including lending and acquisition opportunities which arise, as well as the state of the markets we plan to operate in. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the Direct Offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Shares.
Pending the application of the proceeds from the Direct Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, certificates of deposit or government securities.
In the event we do not sell all of the Shares being offered in the Direct Offering, we may seek additional financing to support the intended use of proceeds discussed above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in the Direct Offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available when needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.
We will not receive any of the net proceeds from the sale of Shares in by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

The number of Shares issued and outstanding in the table above excludes (a) an additional 625,000 Shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Stock Plan; (b) 50,000 Shares issuable upon conversion of 24,000 shares of outstanding Series 2018 Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (c) 504,000 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants sold in connection with the sale of the Series 2018 Preferred Stock.
DILUTION
If you invest in our Shares in the Direct Offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per Share that you pay and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Share of stock after the Direct Offering. Net tangible book value per Share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities by the number of Shares outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of March 31, 2019 was $
30,893,872
or $0.71 per Share, based on
43,269,333
Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2019.
Net tangible book value dilution per Share represents the difference between the amount per Share paid by new investors who purchase Shares from us in the Direct Offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per Share outstanding immediately after completion of the Direct Offering. As of March 31, 2019, after giving pro forma effect to our offer and sale of all 33,333,333 Shares offered by us in the Direct Offering at an initial public offering price of $15.00 per Share, after deducting estimated expenses of $149,524 of the Direct Offering payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value would have been $530,744,343 or $6.93 per Share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $6.22 per Share to existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $8.07 per Share to new investors purchasing Shares in the Direct Offering. The table below illustrates this per Share dilution as of March 31, 2019.

Less than 1.0%.
The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. Our Shares are quoted on the OTCPink tier of the over-the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group, under the symbol
ALPC
. However, the market for our Shares has been extremely limited and there have only been minimal and sporadic public quotations for our Shares and there have been no recent closing quotations for our Shares. We anticipate applying for quotation of our Shares on the OTCQX or OTCQB tiers of the over-the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group or listing our Shares on a national securities exchange following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and subject to completion of the Direct Offering. Given the foregoing, the selling stockholders will offer the Shares at a fixed offering price of $15.00 per Share until the Shares are quoted on the OTCQX or OTCQB tiers of the over-the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group or listed on a national securities exchange. There can be no assurance given that our Shares will be quoted on any tier of the over-the-counter marked operated by OTC Markets Group or listed on any national securities exchange or, if quoted or listed, that a liquid public market for our Shares will develop and if developed, be sustained.
Assuming an active trading market develops and is sustained, thereafter the Shares may be sold at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:
●
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;
●
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
●
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
22
●
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
●
privately negotiated transactions;
●
to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC;
●
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per share;
●
through the distribution of Shares by a selling stockholder to which is a limited liability company to its members;
●
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law; and
●
a combination of any such methods of sale.
Broker-dealers engaged by a selling stockholder may arrange for broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of Shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
A selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by such selling stockholder and, if the selling stockholder defaults in the performance of such secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Shares from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
Upon a selling stockholders notification to us that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of the selling stockholders Shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing (a) the names of the selling stockholder and the participating broker-dealer(s); (b) the number of Shares involved; (c) the price at which such Shares were sold; (d) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable; (e) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus;, and (f) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon our being notified in writing by the selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 Shares, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
A selling stockholder also may transfer Shares in other circumstances, in which case the donees, assignees, transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the Shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed any necessary supplements to this prospectus under Rule 424(b), or other applicable provisions of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include such donee, assignee, transferee, pledgee, or other successor-in-interest as a selling stockholder under this prospectus.
In the event that a selling stockholder is deemed to be an
underwriter
, any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares will be deemed to be
underwriters
within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of the Shares of will be paid by such selling stockholder and/or the purchasers.
If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of Shares, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to the selling stockholders in connection with resales of the Shares under this registration statement.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Shares for resale by the selling stockholders, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of such Shares.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our Shares are quoted on the OTCPink tier of the over-the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group under the symbol
ALPC
. However, the trading market for our Shares has been extremely limited, there have only been minimal and sporadic public quotations for our Shares and there are no recent closing quotations for our Shares.
We anticipate applying for quotation of our Shares on the OTCQX or the OTCQB tiers of the over-the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group or listing our Shares on a national securities exchange following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and subject to completion of the Direct Offering. However, we cannot assure you that our Shares will be quoted on any tier of the over-the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group or listed on a national securities exchange or, if quoted or listed, that a liquid market will develop and if developed, be sustained.
As of the date of this prospectus, we had 43,406,000 Shares issued and outstanding and 42 holders of record of our common stock.
Determination of Offering Price
The offering price of the Shares and other terms of the Direct Offering have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and bear no relationship to the Companys assets, book value, potential earnings or any other recognized criterion of value.
In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the Shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the Shares.
Transfer Agent
Signature Stock Transfer Inc., at 14673 Midway Road, Suite #220 Addison, Texas 75001, is the transfer agent for the Companys common stock.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since inception and we currently expect that, in the foreseeable future, all earnings (if any) will be retained for the development of our business and no dividends will be declared or paid. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings (if any), operating results, financial condition and capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts.

BUSINESS
Overview
We intend to provide capital directly to borrowers seeking financing for commercial real estate properties either for refinancing or acquisitions. These loans will encompass originating performing commercial first mortgage loans, subordinate financings, and other commercial real estate-related debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to operate our business so that we do not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, we do not plan to primarily engage in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and we do not plan to acquire investment securities (such as the above-referenced commercial mortgage-backed securities) having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the Companys total assets.
We expect to offer financing across a broad-spectrum of asset backed and commercial real asset type collateral at all points within an assets capital property type such as office, retail, industrial, multi-family, and hospitality. The Company will coordinate its lending initiatives with outside commercial real estate loan brokers, which have access to commercial real estate owners seeking financing or refinancing opportunities, and with loan origination firms that have borrowers seeking loans. We believe that this will enable ALPC to broaden its access to new Borrowers and to develop and implement financing solutions for these other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners. In the event the Company uses third party loan origination services and underwriters, the Company will cover these costs in accordance with industry standard fees.
Furthermore, Omega, a publicly-held Wyoming corporation (
Omega
), who is the Companys principal stockholder, has the ability to introduce financing transactions to the Company to develop and implement customized financing solutions for borrowers. As a publicly-held financial services holding company Omega is the owner of an umbrella of diversified financial service related companies.
The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through the Direct Offering covered hereby (which has generated $456,000 in gross cash proceeds from the sale of 30,400 Shares to date), from alternative offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully complete its pending direct public offering or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives.
Investment Strategy
To identify attractive lending opportunities, the Company expects to continue to deploy its capital through the origination of commercial mortgage loans, subordinate financings and other commercial real-estate related debt investments at attractive risk-adjusted yields. The Companys targets lending opportunities that are secured by commercial real estate. The Companys underwriting includes a focus on stressed in-place cash flows, debt yields, debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-values, property quality and market and sub-market dynamics.
Recent Developments
On January 31, 2019, the Company, through Jersey Walk Phase I, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (
JWPI
), entered into a Sale of Membership Interest Agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) with CMT Developers LLC (
CMT
). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the SPV acquired 100% of CMTs membership interests, in exchange for the issuance to CMT of 3,000,000 shares of common stock registered hereunder. Through its ownership of CMT, JWPI acquired title to an approximately six-acre parcel of land in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on which 274 luxury apartments were under construction in Phase 1 of the development with an additional 400 units expected to be added in Phase II of the development. However, during the due diligence on the refinancing of the property, the Company learned that certain of the representations and warranties of CMT in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the property were incorrect in various material respects. Based on the foregoing, effective June 7, 2019, the Company rescinded the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in accordance with its terms.
On March 11, 2019, the Company, through Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC, a special purpose vehicle (the
SPV
) entered into an operating agreement for the SPV (the
SPV Operating Agreement
) with Alameda Partners LLC, a Utah limited liability company (
Alameda Partners
). Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, Alameda Partners contributed $1,000,000 for a ten percent (10%) ownership interest in the SPV and will be the SPVs manager. The capital is being used to implement the Companys strategy of acquiring commercial real estate performing notes and support and asset acquisitions. The members of Alameda Partners have significant long-term experience in the commercial real estate industry as property developers, owners, and managers and currently hold title to over $50-million in commercial real estate assets.

Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 22, 2013, to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.
On March 17, 2017, Omega purchased 35,550,000 outstanding shares of the Companys common stock in the Control Share Sale from Malcolm Hargrave (35,000,000 shares), DTH International Corporation (500,000 shares) and Lisa Foster (50,000 shares) for aggregate consideration of $295,000. The Control Share Sale was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered between Omega and Mr. Hargrave, acting individually and on behalf of the other selling stockholders. Upon completion of the Control Share Sale, a
Change in Control
of the Company took place and in connection therewith, Mr. Hargrave resigned as our sole director and officer and Omega, as the new majority stockholder of the Company, elected Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D. as President, Chairman of the Board and a director and Todd C. Buxton, Omegas Chief Executive Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and a director.
In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to focus the shift in the Companys business focus to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing our name from
Gogo Baby, Inc.
to
Alpha Investment Inc.
to better reflect our new business plan. The name change and a corresponding change in the Companys OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.
Plan of Operations
Our core objective will be to achieve advantageous yields and consistent interest income on short and medium term loans (
Loans
) by:
furnishing capital to our affiliated lenders to make Loans through their correspondent platforms primarily to borrowers such as commercial real estate developers and speculators, business owners, landlords and owners of core assets when traditional financing is unavailable to such borrowers for acquisitions, refinancing of commercial property loans and other asset backed transactions; and
making Loans directly to small businesses in the commercial real estate and other asset-backed markets.
Either directly or in conjunction with our affiliated lenders, we plan to consult on various financing programs with an emphasis on Loans secured by commercial real estate, including office buildings, multi-family residences, shopping centers, industrial, and hotels, as well as asset backed Loans secured by account receivables from established companies. Loans may consist of senior debt loans, mezzanine or subordinated loans, preferred equity and other equity participation financing structures, and in the case of specialty financing, for the factoring of receivables secured by a Uniform Commercial Code security interest.
We intend to follow a
conservative lending
profile for the Loans we fund. Our strategy is to seek low leveraged first lien senior debt mortgage loans and high debt service structured financing programs, as opposed to riskier, less secure, mezzanine or equity positions.
Many times when a company decides to pursue new opportunities, they find that the barriers of entry are often high or unattainable. Typically, this is due to a lack of capital and the proper advisory services and solutions necessary for these companies to achieve their business potential. We have determined to address that need by focusing our business efforts primarily for the purpose of underwriting or investing in Loans and/or specialty financing programs backed or secured by real estate or other types of related assets or equity interests.
Regardless of the type of Loan, our focus is will be earning rates of return that exceed the commensurate level of risk associated with each Loan and specialty financing program. We plan to use our and our affiliated lenders third-party relationships with seasoned providers to independently assess the value, volatility, and adequacy of the collateral for each Loan we fund, whether through our affiliated lenders or directly, to assure that all Loans made are appropriately collateralized. As part of our assurance procedures, a third party independent asset loan manager will assess the ease of repossessing and disposing of collateral for each loan. We also will ensure that underlying Loans will be adequately insured. We plan to use only third-party credit and risk assessment firms that utilize standard securitization underwriting protocols and criteria in the credit and risk assessment process, prior to final approval of any Loan.
26
The Company has the authority to provide our affiliated lenders with capital to or directly fund or invest in a wide variety of Loans, securities, and other real estate related investments, domestic or foreign, of all kinds and descriptions, whether publicly traded or privately placed, including but not limited to common and preferred stocks, bonds and other debt securities, direct ownership interests in real estate, interests in real estate investment funds, Loans of all kind (including the Loans herein), accounts receivable, notes, convertible securities, limited partnership interests, limited liability company interests, mutual fund shares, options, warrants, derivatives, currencies, monetary instruments and cash and cash equivalents. We will not trade in commodities or financial futures.
Business Objectives and Strategy
Our core business objective is to achieve advantageous and consistent rates of return from short and medium term Loans to borrowers when traditional financing is unavailable to such borrowers for acquisitions, refinancing of commercial property loans and other asset backed transactions. We plan to focus on various alternative commercial real estate financings with an emphasis on Loans secured by commercial real estate and also seek to invest in financing of core real estate assets that include office buildings, multi-family residences, shopping centers, and hospitality, plus ground up entitled land developments. The Loans may consist of senior debt loans, mezzanine or subordinated loans, preferred equity and other equity participation financing structures. We intend to follow a
conservative lending
profile for the Loans we fund, which means low loan to value and high debt service cover ratios. Our strategy is to seek Loans that are first lien, senior debt mortgage loans and specialty financing programs, as opposed to riskier, yet much more profitable, and less secure mezzanine or equity positions.
With respect to asset backed Loans, we plan to fund, either through our affiliated lenders or directly, accounts receivable based lines of credit better known as factoring. Factoring assists small to medium sized business owners in resolving their short term working capital needs. This service will be supported by a back-office underwriting, due diligence, sales, marketing, servicing, training, and collections provider working either directly with us or with our affiliated lenders. We plan to utilize state of the art software that will allow us to facilitate and organize a seamless stream of completed transactions. Further, we plan to leverage our assets at a multiple of up to 6(x) times that will maximize our capital. We believe that this will position us to create capitalization models that offer us high yielding short term Loans as the result of the ability of this financing product to garner high returns and turnover of the deployed capital that is secured by receivables due from established companies such as a Wall Mart, GM and Best Buy,
Use of Loan Servicers
In carrying out our business strategy, we will likely utilize third-party firms that specialize in Loan origination and servicing (
Servicers
), either directly or through our affiliated lenders. We intend to perform due diligence on each Servicer which we, directly or indirectly, plan use in the origination and servicing of Loans, in order to evaluate the firms experience and expertise in originating and servicing Loans that satisfy our lending and investment criteria.
Use of Other Third-Party Service Providers
We, either directly or through our affiliated lenders, will utilize other third parties to provide various ancillary services, such as such as evaluation and feasibility services, closing and escrow services and fund administration services.
Sale of Participations; Co-Investments and Participations
In the discretion of management, we may sell participation rights in the Loans we originate to other entities.
We may from time to time co-invest and or syndicate participation interest in loans as the administrative agent or buying a participation interest. We plan to only employ this strategy with seasoned well-established organizations in the CRE lending industry such as private trusts, real estate financing institutions, mutual funds, pension funds, investment houses, or hedge funds of fund. We believe that this will afford the Company with an additional opportunity to participate in well-structured transactions with organizations with proven track records involving originating, underwriting, and servicing.
The Commercial Real Estate Lending Product
Operationally, management believes the market for commercial mortgage loans will offer opportunities for the deployment of capital we raise. The commercial real estate (
CRE
) markets have suffered greatly in recent years beginning with the 2008 U.S. financial market crisis, which resulted in a steep and prolonged recession. However, as the lending markets have steadily recovered along with market leaders such as large banks Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Capital One, believe CRE lending landscape has now stabilized in select Centralized Business Districts known as
CBDs
and afford extremely attractive opportunities for deploying capital. Thus, we will focus on positioning the Company to seize this opportunity within this market. We believe that our proposed business model is comparable to that currently being used by some of the top-level commercial real estate lender industry professionals. However, to compete and succeed within this industry, we, plan to work with our correspondent lenders in developing a proprietary pricing and lending model for the commercial real estate finance debt and equity market. If we are able to do so, as to which no assurance can be given, we believe that we will have a strategic advantage to compete in the market.
27
Key Operational Highlights CRE Loans
The overall core property commercial real estate (
CRE
) lending market is vast and global pushing well above a trillion dollars so we believe there are significant business opportunities that will afford the Company continued growth.
We expect that our lending model will allow for smaller increments of loans designed for quicker closings to permit investors to monitor development of the ongoing balance sheet and enable us to more rapidly achieve milestones.
Trepp.com a CMBS research firm, estimates the current size of the CMBS loan market at approximately $680 billion with $10.0 billion of underlying mortgages maturing between now and 2018.
We plan to retain or use seasoned commercial real estate independent specialists to coordinate our loan underwriting model centered on mitigating loan-loss risks and to perform all other related and required third party due diligence.
Since the securitization industry has standardized the underwriting criteria, we anticipate that it will allow for each third - party service provider we use to integrate and exchange information effectively and efficiently.
We believe that we will have low cost and prudent leverage available to us to fund Loans.
Our strategy has been developed with the input of experienced industry veterans.
The Commercial Real Estate Market Forecast
Capital Markets: The next three years will likely see cap rates flat at best or rising, which we expect will outstrip property income growth. The economys performance over the period will determine whether commercial real estate values continue to rise mildly, remain relatively flat or decline mildly or moderately.
Office: U.S. office market growth should continue in 2018, but at a slower pace, due to higher completions and the tight labor markets impact on tenant demand.
Occupier: Labor remains the primary challenge facing corporations. Even as they lower their space requirements, many occupiers are reinventing or adapting their workplace standards to meet employee demand for amenity-focused, flexible, technology-driven work environments.
Industrial & Logistics: Although we are well along in the economic cycle, in the e-commerce/omnichannel cycle we are not, so demand for high-quality, well-located industrial real estate should not wane anytime soon. In most markets, a lack of quality space options is challenging those seeking to expand their supply chains.
Retail: Changing demographics, consumer expectations and omnichannel retailing will continue to reshape retail and its real estate environment in 2018. The consumer trend toward off-price and discount retail will continue, with mid-range retailers seeking new ways to limit share losses to lower-priced players.
Multifamily: Developers are poised to register the second-highest annual completions count of this cycle in 2018, down by 9.2% from 2017s cycle peak. Because apartment starts began to slow in 2017, the multifamily market will get a reprieve from new supply by late 2018 and throughout 2019.
Hotel: Forecasts for continued U.S. economic expansion portend a favorable year ahead for the U.S. lodging industry, with forecasts of income and employment growth coupled with slowing supply growth promising increased demand for hotels.
Data Centers: The U.S. wholesale data center market continues to thrive, with sustained record-setting absorption levels for the past three years. Transformation and flexibility are the key themes in the multi-tenant data center space in 2018.
Life Sciences: The greater health care needs of an aging population and quickening advancement in software and computing power have prompted strong biotech employment growth, with demand surges in most major markets and double-digit rent growth in some. But with the unsustainable rise in health care costs, the industry is under pressure to identify new, more effective, less costly solutions.
28
Medical Office: The direction of health care policy and payment mechanisms may remain uncertain, but rapid growth in the older population will remain a significant tailwind for medical-office demand in the years ahead.
Seniors Housing: The seniors housing market improved modestly in 2017 and is set to improve further in 2018, largely due to lower construction levels. For the most part, the traditional segments of seniors housingindependent living, assisted living, memory care and nursing careare not yet benefiting from baby boomer demand.
Loan Production Strategy
We have access to a database of top commercial real estate mortgage bankers nationwide through organizations such as Strategic Alliance Mortgage, LLC (
SAM
), which is a company comprised of the top independently owned commercial real estate mortgage banking firms located throughout the United States. Through SAM. firms utilizes their shared national knowledge to execute superior capital market solutions for developers, commercial real estate investors, investment management firms, asset management firms, real estate investment trusts and private real estate equity firms with the goal of utilizing their production networks. We have focused on firms that have experienced loan origination back office staff to ensure our CRE Loan services will be appropriately and professionally being marketed. Also, management has a proprietary database of 50 to 100 mortgage bankers to market their CRE Loan products to and generate Loan production internally for consistent deal flow. In addition, we believe that as our operations expand, we always have the opportunity to establish and retain an in-house sales team.)
Key Operational Highlights Asset-Backed Financing
Our asset-backed lending operations will be based on the premise that business does not always go as planned; therefore, we will work with clients to get them realigned financially with viable solutions for optimum profitability. Key among the services provided through this division, is a line of factoring products.
Our main product will be advance factoring, which enables clients to turn accounts receivable into cash-on-hand with secured working capital loans. Accounts receivable, inventory or other assets such as real estate, equipment and intellectual property will secure the factoring divisions working capital Loans. Advance rates are determined based on analysis of appropriate metrics for each collateral class (e.g. accounts receivable dilution, assessed value of tangible assets).
Competition
A number of much larger proven commercial real estate lenders such as JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman, Apollo Commercial Real Estate, and RAIT currently have established operations with large balance sheets and back office staff. However, we are a non-banking institution and are not regulated like the larger banks or typical CMBS lender in that we are not pigeon holed into immediately securitizing our assets. Rather we elect to use the standardized securitization underwriting characteristics to originate loans, consequently to mitigate liquidly-risk (i.e. recapitalization) with the ability to hold these loans on the un-tainted balance sheet in order to garner stable income to yield strong growth and market share. However, as most of these lenders have far longer operating histories and significantly larger financial resources than we do, there can be no assurance given that we can effectively compete.
Employees
We currently have no employees other than our executive officers. As noted above, we intend to rely on third parties retained by us for services in areas such as loan origination and production, credit analysis, underwriting, due diligence, and loan servicing. As our operations grow, we may elect to bring certain, if not all of these services in house.
Properties
Our principal executive offices are located at 200 East Campus View Blvd. Suite 200 Columbus, OH 43235, where we lease space from Omega, our principal stockholder, on a month to month basis at a monthly rent of $95.
Legal Proceedings
Currently there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in any such matter may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.
29
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We qualify as an
emerging growth company
under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as
say-on-pay
and
say-on-frequency
; and
disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEOs compensation to median employee compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an
emerging growth company
for up to five years, or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (b) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2018
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated approximately $27,000 in net investment income, compared to $8,000 in 2018, resulting from the amortization of loan origination fees received in the form of a notes receivable in the aggregate amount of $430,000, offset by the amortization of loan costs incurred. All of the investment income was generated from the Companys lending operations following completion of the Control Share Sale. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is presented net of $420,000 in service costs, primarily loan broker fees which are being amortized over the life of the related loans. We incurred $243,349 in operating expenses during the 2019 period, compared to $53,962 in 2018, reflecting our increased level of operations. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $929,108 resulting from the amortization of the discount on redeemable common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended December 31, 2018, Omega, the principal stockholder of the Company, made additional capital contributions to the Company of approximately $321,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omega, the principal stockholder of the Company, made an additional capital contribution to the Company of $87,100, we sold a ten percent interest in the SPV to Alameda Partners for $1,000,000 and the Company received proceeds of $456,000 from the sale of 30,400 shares of common stock in the Direct Offering.
The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through the Direct Offering, from alternative offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully complete its pending direct public offering or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives. Even if we are successful in raising additional financing, there is no assurance regarding the terms of any additional investment and any such investment or other strategic alternative would likely substantially dilute our current shareholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment and the useful lives of intangible assets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the more likely than not criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Mr. Hargrave resigned as our sole director and Mr. Buxton and Dr. Fussell were appointed directors upon completion of the Control Share Acquisition on March 17, 2017.
Narrative Disclosure to the Director Compensation Table
We currently do not compensate our directors for their services as such. When we expand our board to include
independent
directors we intend to implement a plan and compensate them with a combination of cash and stock option awards, depending on our financial resources at that time.
Incentive Plan
Our Incentive Plan provides for equity incentives to be granted to our employees, executive officers or directors or to key advisers or consultants. Equity incentives may be in the form of stock options with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the underlying Shares as determined pursuant to the Incentive Plan, restricted stock awards, other stock based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The Incentive Plan is administered by the board of directors. 5,000,000 Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards under the Incentive Plan. The number of shares so reserved automatically adjusts upward on January 1 of each year, so that the number of shares covered by the Incentive Plan is equal to 15% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As of the date of this report, we have granted restricted stock awards of 3,625,000 Shares to six consultants and 1,375,000 shares are available for issuance.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each director and executive officer, by each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock and by directors and executive officers as a group.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Transactions
In connection with the Control Share Sale, in on March 17, 2017, Malcolm Hargrave, our former sole director and executive officer signed an agreement to forgive all debt, including unpaid interest, amounting $ 55,715, due to him from the Company. This was classified as additional paid -in capital.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, Omega, the principal stockholder of the Company, made additional capital contributions to the Company of $320,990, $55,715, $87,100 and $5,000, respectively. The capital contributions were classified as additional paid-in capital.
On August 28, 2017, the Company entered into two loan agreements with companies owned by Timothy R. Fussell, President, Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company. The first agreement, with Partners South Holdings LLC (
PSHL
), provides for a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal sum of $3,600,000 for the purpose of financing real property construction costs and working capital needs. The line of credit is secured by a pledge of all the limited liability company membership interests of PSHL. The maturity date of the line of credit is August 31, 2022 at which time the entire then outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest thereon is due and payable. The fixed interest rate on the loan is 3.5% to be paid quarterly on the first day of each calendar. As of March 31, 2019, no amounts had been advanced under this line of credit. Origination fees of $180,000 due to the Company have been added to the outstanding balance due on the line of credit. As of March 31, 20198, the loan receivable balance is $657,500.
The second agreement, with Partners South Properties Corporation (
PSPC
), provides for a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal sum of $5,000,000 for the purpose of financing real property construction costs and working capital needs. The line of credit is secured by a pledge of all the capital stock of PSPC. The maturity date of the line of credit is August 31, 2022 at which time the entire then outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest thereon is due and payable. The fixed interest rate on the line of credit is 3.5% to be paid quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. As of March 31, 2019, the loan receivable balance was $250,000.
The Company believes that the terms of the lines of credit with PSHL and PSPC are comparable to the terms of lines of credit which ALPC would offer to non-affiliated third-party borrowers.

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
The Company does not have a policy that expressly prohibits its directors, officers, principal stockholders or their respective affiliates from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by the Company. The Companys code of business conduct and ethics contains a conflict of interest policy that prohibits its directors and executive officers, or whoever provides services to the Company, from engaging in any transaction that involves an actual conflict of interest with the Company,
provided
,
however
, that once the Company adds independent directors to its board, any such conflict may by a majority vote of independent directors.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001.
Common Stock
As of the date of this prospectus, 43,406,000 shares of common stock are issued as outstanding. The shares of common stock presently outstanding are, and the Shares being offered and sold in the Direct Offering, when issued and paid for as contemplated herein, will be, fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by shareholders, and a majority vote is required for all actions to be taken by shareholders. In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our operations, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all our debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any shares of preferred stock that may then be outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive rights, no cumulative voting rights, and no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion provisions.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for such purpose, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may then be outstanding.
Preferred Stock
General
Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series. While our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws do not contain any provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or make removal of our management more difficult. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has outstanding, 24,000 shares of Series 2018 Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Series 2018 Preferred Stock
The Series 2018 Preferred Stock was sold, together with warrants to purchase 504,000 Shares, in November 2017, to a single accredited investor in a private transaction for $360,000. The Series 2018 Preferred Stock does not have dividend or voting rights, but is mandatorily redeemable at the option of the Company (unless converted as set forth below), on the first anniversary of issuance at a redemption price of $15.00 per share. Each share of Series 2018 Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time prior to redemption into two shares of the Companys common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalization transactions).
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Preferred Convertible Stock which was sold in January 2018 to a single investor in a private transaction for $15.00 per share does not have dividend or voting rights, but is mandatorily redeemable by the Company (unless converted as set forth below) on the first anniversary of issuance at a redemption price of $15.00 per share. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time prior to redemption into two shares of the Companys common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalization transactions).
36
Warrants
In November 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase 504,000 Shares in connection with the sale of 24,000 shares of Series 2018 Preferred Stock. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance at an exercise price of $15.00 per Share, but may also be exercised on a
cashless
basis. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalization transactions.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Currently all of our 43,406,000 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and not covered by this Registration Statement, are eligible for sale in the public market from time to time thereafter pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and in some cases, subject to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144. The sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales may occur could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six (6) months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.
A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six (6) months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock reported through Nasdaq or such other market on which our shares of common stock are listed for trading during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Terms of the Direct Offering
The Shares in the Direct Offering are being offered and sold in a direct public offering on a
self-underwritten, best efforts
basis, which means (a) no minimum number of Shares need be subscribed for in order for the Company to consummate the sale of any of the Shares and utilize the proceeds therefrom; and (b) the Company will not use the services of an underwriter and our executive officers and directors will attempt to sell the Shares directly to investors. The intended methods of communication with potential investors include, without limitation, telephone and personal contacts. The Companys executive officers and directors may also reach out to personal contacts such as family, friends and acquaintances and may conduct investment presentations in the form of a roadshow at various industry and investor conferences. . In addition to the foregoing, this prospectus may be made available in electronic format on a dedicated website maintained by the Company or on the Companys general website. Subscription proceeds for Shares sold in the Direct Offering will be paid directly to the Company and will not be held in a segregated or escrow account. Our executive officers and directors will not receive commissions or any other remuneration from any such sales. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has sold an aggregate of 30,400 shares in the Direct Offering, from which it has received gross proceeds of $456,000, which have been used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
In offering the Shares in the Direct Offering on our behalf, our executive officers and directors will rely on the
safe harbor
provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Exchange. Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in the sale of the securities of such issuer.
Our executive officers and directors meet the conditions of the Rule 3a4-1 exemption, as: (a) they are not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act; (b) they will not be compensated in connection with their participation in the direct public offering or resale offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities; and (c) they will not be associated persons of a broker or dealer at the time of their participation in the direct public offering and resale offering. Further, our officers and directors: (a) at the end of the offerings, will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; (b) are not, nor have been within the preceding twelve (12) months, a broker or dealer, and they are not, nor have they been within the preceding twelve (12) months, an associated person of a broker or dealer; and (c) they have not participated in another
37
offering of securities pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1 in the past twelve (12) months and they have not and will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every twelve (12) months other than in reliance on the Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those states only if they have been registered or qualified for sale, an exemption from such registration is available, or if qualification requirement is available and with which the Company has complied. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.
Offering Period and Expiration Date
The Shares in the Direct Offering will be offered for sale for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of this prospectus, unless extended by our board of directors for period or periods of up to an aggregate of an additional one hundred and eighty (180) days.
Procedures for Subscribing
If you decide to subscribe for any shares in the Direct Offering, you must:
execute and deliver a Subscription Agreement; and
deliver the subscription price to the Company by cashiers check or wire transfer of immediately available funds.
The Subscription Agreement requires you to disclose your name, address, social security number, telephone number, email address, number of Shares you are purchasing, and the price you are paying for your Shares.
Acceptance of Subscriptions
Upon the Companys acceptance of a subscription and receipt of full payment, and subject to the timing qualification set forth above, the Company shall countersign the Subscription Agreement and issue a stock certificate along with a copy of the Subscription Agreement.
Right to Reject Subscriptions
We have the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without interest or deductions. Subscriptions for securities will be accepted or rejected within three (3) business days after we receive them.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
In accordance with the provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, we will indemnify an officer, director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Alpha Investment Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Corporate History
Alpha Investment Inc, formerly GoGo Baby, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on February 22, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware to develop, create, manufacture and market, toys for small children which would be designed to attach to car seats and amuse and entertain children during a drive, without distracting the attention of the driver. The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.
On March 17, 2017, Omega Commercial Finance Corp. (Omega) purchased all 35,550,000 outstanding restricted shares of the Companys common stock (the Control Share Sale) from Malcolm Hargrave (35,000,000 shares), DTH International Corporation (500,000 shares) and Lisa Foster (50,000 shares) for aggregate consideration of $295,000. The Control Share Sale was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered between Omega and Mr. Hargrave, acting individually and on behalf of the other selling stockholders. Upon completion of the Control Share Sale, a Change in Control of the Company took place and the Company became a subsidiary of Omega. The Company did not elect to apply push-down accounting. In connection therewith, Mr. Hargrave resigned as the Companys sole director and officer and Omega, as the new majority stockholder of the Company, elected Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D. as President, Chairman of the Board and a director and Todd C. Buxton, Omegas Chief Executive Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and a director.
In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to shift the focus of the Companys business to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing its name from Gogo Baby, Inc. to Alpha Investment Inc. to better reflect the new business focus. The name change and a corresponding change in the Companys OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations and loss contingences. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
Restricted Cash Held in Escrow
The Company has $2,500,099 of restricted cash held in escrow from the sale of commons stock to an investor that has the right to require the Company to repurchase the common stock for $2,500,000 through June 2019.
F-7
Loans Receivable, net
The Company records its investments in loans receivable at cost less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.
When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on its investments in real estate loans for estimated credit impairment. Managements estimate of losses is based on a number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan. Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and are based on an assessment of certain factors, which may indicate estimated losses on the loans. Actual losses on loans are recorded first as a reduction to the allowance for loan losses. Generally, subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recognized as income.
Estimating allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect loan collections or taking possession of the property. Management determined that no allowance for loan losses was necessary as of December 31, 2018.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment and fixtures are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated asset lives, 5 years.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 740, "Income Taxes". Under this 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 balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-25, Income Taxes Overall Recognition (ASC Topic 740-10-25) with respect to the accounting for uncertainty of income tax positions. ASC Topic 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As December 31, 2018, tax years since 2013 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.
Revenue Recognition and Investment Income
Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.
F-8
When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.
The Company suspends recognizing interest income when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all payments according to the contractual terms of the underlying agreements. Management considers all information available in assessing collectability. Collectability is measured on a receivable-by-receivable basis by either the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective rate, the observable market price for the receivable or the fair value of the collateral if the receivable is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous receivables, such as pre-settlement funding transactions, are collectively assessed for collectability. A receivable is charged off when in the Company's judgment, the receivable or portion of the receivable is considered uncollectible.
Payments received on past due receivables and finance receivables the Company has suspended recognizing interest income on are applied first to principal and then to accrued interest. Interest income on past due receivables and finance receivables, if received, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. Additionally, the Company generally does not resume recognition of interest income once it has been suspended.
Variable Interest Entity
The Company holds a 10% interest in Paris Med, of which the remaining 90% interest is held by Omega. Through December 31, 2018, the Company has provided 100% of the funding to Paris Med, which has provided a construction loan to a third party. This loan receivable is the sole asset of Paris Med. The Company determined that Paris Med was a variable interest entity based on various qualitative and quantitative factors including but not limited to: 1) financing of Paris Meds sole asset was received by the Company, which is disproportionate to the Companys ownership interest and 2) the Company and Omega, a related party, organized the entity for the purpose of facilitating the Companys activities. As of December 31, 2018, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary because it has provided substantially all of its financial support and is the only party at risk. As of December 31, 2018, Paris Med has total assets of $558,000, consisting solely of advances made pursuant to its third party construction loan agreement, and had no liabilities. See Note 3. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Paris Med had no activity other than the advancement of amounts pursuant to the construction loan. The Company will evaluate its investments in Paris Med each reporting period to determine if it is still the primary beneficiary, and if no longer considered the primary beneficiary, deconsolidate Paris Med in the period in which circumstances change or events occur causing a change in its assessment. The Company has not attributed any of its net loss or equity to non-controlling interest because Paris Meds sole asset is amounts owed to the Company, which is eliminated in consolidation, and there was no material income earned or losses incurred to date by Paris Med.
Fair Value
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument. The carrying value of the Companys loans receivable approximate fair value because their terms approximate market rates.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. In addition to 166,667 shares of redeemable common stock classified as temporary equity, 350,000 shares underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, because their impact was anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 52% of the Companys net loans receivables are with related parties.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
F-9
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09
Revenue From Contracts with Customers
, which did not have a significant impact on its results of operations.
The Company's revenue is mainly derived from interest income on our investments in our loan receivable portfolio, which are not impacted by this standard.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,
Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825- 10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. The provisions of the update require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment. The update also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. It also eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The update requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by category and form on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, the update clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entitys other deferred tax assets. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842), Conforming Amendments Related to Leases
. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. The ASU requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2029. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses (ECL), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (ex. loans and held to maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (ex. commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable). The ECL should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating the ECL. The ASU also amends the current available for sale security impairment model for debt securities whereby credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments will be applied through a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently planning for the implementation of this accounting standard. It is too early to assess the impact this guidance will have on the Companys financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
. The amendments in this ASU clarify the proper classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments, including clarification on debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, among others. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the amendment and does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Companys Financial Statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $610,000.
The Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an approximate rate of 34% through December 31, 2017 and 29% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Future taxable income is expected to be subject to an approximate rate of 21%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Companys income tax expense as reported is as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in managements judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.
Current law limits the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is not presently involved in any litigation.
NOTE 6 GOING CONCERN
Future issuances of the Companys equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Companys present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statement of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Securing additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

NOTE 8 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Incentive Plan
The Companys Incentive Plan provides for equity incentives to be granted to its employees, executive officers or directors or to key advisers or consultants. Equity incentives may be in the form of stock options with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the underlying Shares as determined pursuant to the Incentive Plan, restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The Incentive Plan is administered by the board of directors, and 5,000,000 Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards under the Incentive Plan. The number of shares so reserved automatically adjusts upward on January 1 of each year, so that the number of shares covered by the Incentive Plan is equal to 15% of our issued and outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 3,625,000 shares to six consultants. As of December 31, 2018, there are 1,375,000 shares available for issuance under the plan.
Temporary Equity
On September 20, 2017, 166,667 shares of common stock were issued at a value of $15.00 per share to one company in exchange for cash of $2,500,000. Pursuant to the subscription agreement the investor has the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares for $2.5 million at anytime through December 2017. Accordingly, the amounts received are presented as a temporary equity as of December 31, 2018. In December 2017, the Company negotiated and amended its agreement with the investor to extend this right through May 15, 2018. As part of this extension, the investor was granted warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $15.00 per share over a five-year term. Because the shares are classified as a temporary equity, and the investors rights to require repurchase of the shares initially expired in 2017 the Company recorded the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a discount against the proceeds to be amortized as interest expense through February 2018, the initial extension date. In March 2018, the Company entered into a third amendment to the subscription agreement, extending the option period to May 15, 2018. The option was further extended in May and June 2018. As consideration for the extensions, the Companys parent company, Omega Commercial Finance Corporation, agreed to issue to the investor, 65,000 shares of its Series Z preferred stock, and the Company agreed to reimburse the investor for $21,894 of legal fees incurred related to the extension. The Company estimated the fair value of the Series Z preferred stock based on recent sales for cash, and recorded additional discounts of $184,394, including the accrued legal fees, against the common stock to be amortized into interest expense through the extended expiration of the option in May 2018. In October 2018, the option period was further extended to November 19, 2018. As consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to allow the investor to direct the investment of the restricted cash into one more investment types, such stock, money market accounts or similar investments. The investor was also granted the right to withdrawal any restricted cash in excess of $2.5 million. In November 2018, the option was further extended to January 12, 2019.

The preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable 10 years after issuance.

The Company, however, encountered significant constraints in raising sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan.
On March 17, 2017, Omega Commercial Finance Corp. (Omega) purchased all 35,550,000 outstanding restricted shares of the Companys common stock (the Control Share Sale) from Malcolm Hargrave (35,000,000 shares), DTH International Corporation (500,000 shares) and Lisa Foster (50,000 shares) for aggregate consideration of $295,000. The Control Share Sale was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered between Omega and Mr. Hargrave, acting individually and on behalf of the other selling stockholders. Upon completion of the Control Share Sale, a Change in Control of the Company took place and the Company became a subsidiary of Omega. The Company did not elect to apply push-down accounting. In connection therewith, Mr. Hargrave resigned as the Companys sole director and officer and Omega, as the new majority stockholder of the Company, elected Timothy R. Fussell, Ph.D. as President, Chairman of the Board and a director and Todd C. Buxton, Omegas Chief Executive Officer, as Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and a director.
In addition to the foregoing, new management elected to shift the focus of the Companys business to real estate and other commercial lending, which they believed offered better opportunities for shareholder growth. In connection therewith, on March 30, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State changing its name from Gogo Baby, Inc. to Alpha Investment Inc. to better reflect the new business focus. The name change and a corresponding change in the Companys OTC markets trading symbol from GGBY to ALPC received approval from FINRA and became effective as of April 19, 2017.
On January 31, 2019, the Company, through Jersey Walk Phase I, LLC, entered into a Sale of Membership Interest Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with CMT Developers LLC (CMT). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of CMTs membership interests, in exchange for the issuance to CMT of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Through its ownership of CMT, the Company now holds title to an approximately six-acre parcel of land in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on which 274 luxury apartments are under construction in Phase 1 of the development with an additional 400 units to be added in Phase II of the development. Furthermore, the property has a September 20, 2018 MAI As Is appraised value of $44,800,000. Moreover, the Company intends to complete a new appraisal for GAAP reporting requirements as a public company.
On March 11, 2019, the Company, through a newly formed LLC or Special Purpose Vehicle SPV called Alpha Mortgage Notes I, LLC executed an operating agreement with Alameda Partners LLC. Alameda Partners is a Utah Limited Liability Company that contributed $1,000,000 for 10% ownership of the SPV, and will be the managing member. The capital shall be used to implement the strategy of acquiring commercial real estate performing notes and support other related growth initiatives and assets acquisitions for the Company of which is positioning for its up-listing to the NYSE. The Members of Alameda Partners LLC have decades of experiences in the commercial real estate industry as property developers, owners, and managers and currently holds over $50-million in commercial real estate assets. They have been appointed as the Managing Members of the SPV, while ALPC controls and holds 90% ownership. The special purpose vehicle was organized to acquire the membership interests, develop, own, hold, sell, lease, transfer, exchange, re-lend, manage and operate the underlying assets and conduct activities related thereto the ownership of commercial real estate mortgage notes and REOs.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.
F-21
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 certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. The Company is required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred income tax asset valuations and loss contingences. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although, we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate, actual future results may be different; if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from our reported results.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash Held in Escrow
The Company has $2,500,000 of restricted cash held in escrow from the sale of commons stock to an investor that has the right to require the Company to repurchase the common stock for $2,500,000 through June 2019.
Loans Receivable, net
The Company records its investments in loans receivable at cost less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.
When a loan receivable is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria. As of March 31, 2019, since all loans receivable are considered performing according to their payment terms, no accounts receivable aging schedule or credit quality indicators are necessary.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on its investments in real estate loans for estimated credit impairment. Managements estimate of losses is based on a number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan. Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and are based on an assessment of certain factors, which may indicate estimated losses on the loans. Actual losses on loans are recorded first as a reduction to the allowance for loan losses. Generally, subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recognized as income.
Estimating allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect loan collections or taking possession of the property on an individual loan receivable basis. Management determined that no allowance for loan losses was necessary as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment and fixtures will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated asset lives, 5 years.
F-22
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 740, "Income Taxes". Under this 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 balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10-25, Income Taxes Overall Recognition (ASC Topic 740-10-25) with respect to the accounting for uncertainty of income tax positions. ASC Topic 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As December 31, 2018, tax years since 2013 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.
Revenue Recognition and Investment Income
Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans. The Company records interest income in accordance with ASC subtopic 835-30 "Imputation of Interest", using the effective interest method.
When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.
The Company suspends recognizing interest income when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all payments according to the contractual terms of the underlying agreements. Management considers all information available in assessing collectability. Collectability is measured on a receivable-by-receivable basis by either the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective rate, the observable market price for the receivable or the fair value of the collateral if the receivable is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous receivables, such as pre-settlement funding transactions, are collectively assessed for collectability. A receivable is charged off when in the Company's judgment, the receivable or portion of the receivable is considered uncollectible.
Payments received on past due receivables and finance receivables the Company has suspended recognizing interest income on are applied first to principal and then to accrued interest. Interest income on past due receivables and finance receivables, if received, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. Additionally, the Company generally does not resume recognition of interest income once it has been suspended.
Variable Interest Entity
The Company holds a 10% interest in Paris Med, of which the remaining 90% interest is held by Omega. Through December 31, 2018, the Company has provided 100% of the funding to Paris Med, which has provided a construction loan to a third party. This loan receivable is the sole asset of Paris Med.
F-23
The Company determined that Paris Med was a variable interest entity based on various qualitative and quantitative factors including but not limited to: 1) financing of Paris Meds sole asset was received by the Company, which is disproportionate to the Companys ownership interest and 2) the Company and Omega, a related party, organized the entity for the purpose of facilitating the Companys activities. As of December 31, 2018, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary because it has provided substantially all of its financial support and is the only party at risk. As of March 31, 2019, Paris Med has total assets of $558,000, consisting solely of advances made pursuant to its third party construction loan agreement, and had no liabilities. See Note 3. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Paris Med had no activity. The Company will evaluate its investments in Paris Med each reporting period to determine if it is still the primary beneficiary, and if no longer considered the primary beneficiary, deconsolidate Paris Med in the period in which circumstances change or events occur causing a change in its assessment. The Company has not attributed any of its net loss or equity to non-controlling interest because Paris Meds sole asset is amounts owed to the Company, which is eliminated in consolidation, and there was no material income earned or losses incurred to date by Paris Med.
Fair Value
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument. The carrying value of the Companys loans receivable approximate fair value because their terms approximate market rates.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. 166,667 shares underlying convertible preferred stock and 350,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019, because their impact was anti-dilutive. 350,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018, because their impact was anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2018.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,
Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825- 10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. The provisions of the update require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment. The update also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. It also eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU No. 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The update requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by category and form on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, the update clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entitys other deferred tax assets. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
F-24
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842), Conforming Amendments Related to Leases
. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. The ASU requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses (ECL), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (ex. loans and held to maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (ex. commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable). The ECL should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating the ECL. The ASU also amends the current available for sale security impairment model for debt securities whereby credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments will be applied through a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently planning for the implementation of this accounting standard. It is too early to assess the impact this guidance will have on the Companys financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
. The amendments in this ASU clarify the proper classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments, including clarification on debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, among others. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Companys Financial Statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 31, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of CMT, the Company assumed a promissory note in the principal amount of $15,500,000. The note matured on September 27, 2018 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 12%. Interest in monthly payments of $155,000. As of March 31, 2019, principal and interest due on the note was $15,500,000 and $232,500, respectively.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is not presently involved in any litigation.
NOTE 6 GOING CONCERN
Future issuances of the Companys equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Companys present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,629,940 as of March 31, 2019 and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. Securing additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
1.
Loans receivable - The Company has extended lines of credit and loans to related parties. See Note 3.
2.
Management fee - During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omega Commercial Finance Corp was paid $162,500 in management fees pursuant to a corporate governance management agreement executed on June 1, 2017. Omega is to provide services related to facilitating the introduction of potential investors for compensation of no less than $150,000 per year, not to exceed $300,000 per year. The fee paid in 2019 is for services to be rendered throughout 2019. Accordingly, $121,875 is reflected in prepaid expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and $40,625 was recognized as expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
NOTE 8 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Incentive Plan
The Companys Incentive Plan provides for equity incentives to be granted to its employees, executive officers or directors or to key advisers or consultants. Equity incentives may be in the form of stock options with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the underlying Shares as determined pursuant to the Incentive Plan, restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The Incentive Plan is administered by the board of directors. 5,000,000 Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards under the Incentive Plan. The number of shares so reserved automatically adjusts upward on January 1 of each year, so that the number of shares covered by the Incentive Plan is equal to 15% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2019, there are 1,375,000 shares available for issuance under the plan and no options outstanding.
Temporary Equity
On September 20, 2017, 166,667 shares of common stock were issued at a value of $15.00 per share to one company in exchange for cash of $2,500,000. Pursuant to the subscription agreement the investor has the right to require the Company to repurchase the shares for $2.5 million at anytime through December 2017. Accordingly, the amounts received are presented as a temporary equity as of December 31, 2018. In December 2017, the Company negotiated and amended its agreement with the investor to extend this right through May 15, 2018. As part of this extension, the investor was granted warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $15.00 per share over a five-year term. Because the shares are classified as a temporary equity, and the investors rights to require repurchase of the shares initially expired in 2017 the Company recorded the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a discount against the proceeds to be amortized as interest expense through February 2018, the initial extension date. In March 2018, the Company entered into a third amendment to the subscription agreement, extending the option period to May 15, 2018.
F-27

The preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable 10 years after issuance. The Company allocated $236,897 the proceeds from the sale of the preferred stock to the warrants, which was recorded as a discount against the preferred stock and is to be amortized as a deemed dividend through the 10-year redemption date. The balance of the preferred stock reflected in temporary equity as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $45,268 and $39,346, respectively, net of unamortized discounts of $205,311 and $211,233, respectively.

Each share of Series A is convertible within one year of issuance into two shares of common stock of the Company.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

(c) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
2.

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
