Although the Company believes the proceeds of this Offering, along with other planned financings, will provide adequate funding to develop and successfully support its business plans, there can be no assurances that such funds will be adequate. If the Company's cash requirements exceed current expectations, the Company reserves the right to raise additional equity or debt capital, beyond what is being sought with current efforts. There can be no assurance that adequate additional financing on acceptable terms will be available when needed. The unavailability of sufficient financing when needed would have a material adverse effect on the Company, could require the Company to terminate its operations, and Investors could lose all, or a significant portion of, their investment. Additionally, any new financing that might hereafter be issued by the Company may carry certain rights and privileges senior to those of the Investors in C-1 Investment Certificates and may negatively impact the Investors in C-1 Investment Certificates.

Although management is unaware of any threatened or pending litigation against the Company or management, there can be no assurance that future claims will not be asserted and that, even if without merit, the cost to defend against such claims would not be significant, thus having a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has never filed any lawsuit against any other person or entity, or been the subject of a lawsuit.

The Directors comprising the Company's Cooperative Board will have management authority over the majority of the operations of the Company, regardless of the opposition of Investors to pursue an alternate course of action. Investors will have limited rights to vote with respect to the management and limited ability to participate in many decisions regarding management of the Company's business. In addition, Investors should be aware that the Cooperative Board has the sole authority to enter into transactions with related parties that could increase the indebtedness of the Company or create conflicts of interest associated with the operations of the Company, which could have a materially adverse affect on the Company’s operations.

Directors of the Company owe certain duties to the Company they serve in connection with the use of its assets. Directors are fiduciaries, and as such are under obligations of trust and confidence to the Company and owners to act in good faith and for the interest of the Company and its owners, with due care and diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is obligated to indemnify Directors of the Company for actions or omissions to act by such Directors of the Company on behalf of the Company that are authorized under the organizational documents of the Company. There are very limited circumstances under which the Directors of the Company can be held liable to the Company. Accordingly, it may be very difficult for the Company or any Investor to pursue any form of action against the management of the Company.

The Company has not applied for, and has no plans to apply for, intellectual property protection through trademarks or patents. Existing trademarks have been issued for the name 'Commongrounds' for real-estate related purposes. For this reason or others, the Company may become subject to third-party claims that it infringed upon their proprietary rights or trademarks. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, injunctions against the Company or the payment of damages by the Company.

The Company has not yet sought to have its financial information audited by an independent certified public accountant and there is no assurance that it will do so in the future. All financial information provided in the Offering Materials has been prepared by the Company's management team and has not been reviewed or compiled by an independent accounting firm.

The cost of insurance policies maintained by the Company to protect the Company's business and assets could increase in the future. In addition, some types of losses, such as losses resulting from natural disasters, generally are not insured because they are uninsurable or it is not economically practical to obtain insurance to cover them. Moreover, insurers recently have become more reluctant to insure against these types of events. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is looking to raise $11,735,864 in additional equity, long-term debt and grant financing for the Project outside of this Offering. If the Company's gross proceeds from this Offering and other financing sources do not cover estimated Project costs, completion of the Project may be delayed indefinitely, jeopardizing the Company's ability to make distributions to Investors.

The Project is expected to be, for the foreseeable future, the Company's only asset. As a result, the Company will not have diversified sources of revenue. The prospects of the Company depend upon the Project maintaining its occupancy, rental, and resale value or increasing in such value. The typical risks relating to an investment in real estate will apply to the Project and its ability to meet debt service obligations. These include, but are not limited to:

• Changes in the general economic climate and market conditions of the United States and Indianapolis, Indiana;
• Changes in the occupancy or rental rates of the Project;
• A failure to lease the Project in accordance with the projected leasing schedule;
• Limited availability of mortgage funds or fluctuations in interest rates which may render the sale and refinancing of the Project difficult;
• Unanticipated increases in real estate taxes and other operating expenses;
• Competition from other similar housing and commercial properties;
• Environmental considerations;
• Zoning laws and other governmental rules and policies; and
• Uninsured losses including possible acts of terrorism or natural disasters.

Due to the lack of diversification, any one or more of the preceding factors could materially adversely affect the value of the Project. If the value of the Project were to decrease and the Company were to choose to sell the Project, liquidate and distribute its remaining assets after paying creditors, Investors might not recover the amount of their investment, if Investors were to receive any funds at all.

The Company's income and operating results may vary significantly from projected amounts and fluctuate substantially from month to month due to several factors, many of which are likely to be outside of the Company's control. These factors, each of which could adversely affect results of operations, include:

• Unexpected expenditures for development, construction and other expenses;
• Lease price reductions by the Company, regulations or its competitors or changes in how rent is priced;
• Actual leasing income could be lower than projected rental income due to lower than expected rental demand;
• A Tenant may terminate a lease early;
• Collection of rent may occur in a subsequent year than the year projected due to the requirement or the failure of a Tenant to make rent payments when due;
• Actual expenses could be in excess of projected expenses;
• Changes in the demand for or supply of competitive properties;
• Environmental controls and other governmentally imposed restrictions;
• Changes in state or local tax rates and assessments;
• Changes in general or local economic conditions and acts of God or other calamities;
• The Company's ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel;
• Change in federal or state laws and regulations;
• Timing and number of strategic relationships that are established;
• Loss of key business partners.

Any projections of the Company's future operating costs will be based upon assumptions as to future events and conditions, which the Company believes to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. The Company's assumptions may prove to be incomplete or incorrect and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Due to these uncertainties and the other risks outlined in this section, the actual results of the Company's future operations can be expected to be different from those projected and such differences may have a material adverse effect on the Company's prospects, business or financial condition.

Any projections that prepared or provided by the Company will not be prepared with a view toward public disclosure or complying with the published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or the Securities Exchange Commission regarding projected financial information. Under no circumstances should such information be construed to represent or predict that the Company is likely to achieve any particular results. The cautionary statements made should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear.

The Company was formed in March 2018 and has no previous operating history or past financial information. The Company has not generated any income to date. The Project is currently in an early phase of construction and is not generating rental income. Due to the Company's lack of operating history and the development status of the Project, the Company is unable to forecast its income with any assurance of accuracy. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be able to achieve projected income levels or projected interest payments to Investors.

The Company will be subject to all the risks inherent in developing and investing in real estate assets. A major risk of owning real estate is the possibility that the Project will not generate sufficient rental income or other income to meet expenses, including debt service or other required payments, or will decrease in value. Additional risks may include, without limitation, general and local economic and social conditions, the supply and demand for comparable properties, energy shortages and costs, declines in neighborhood property values, changes in tax, zoning, building, environmental and other applicable laws, real property tax rates, changes in interest rates and the availability of mortgage funds which may render the sale of properties difficult or unattractive. Such risks also include fluctuations in operating expenses, which could adversely affect the ability of the Company to meet debt service obligations. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent completion of development activities once undertaken, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Federal, state and local laws may impose liability on a property owner for releases, or the otherwise improper presence on the premises, of hazardous substances without regard to fault or knowledge of the presence of such substances. A property owner may be held liable for environmental releases of such substances that occurred before it acquired title and that are not discovered until after it sells the Property. Although the Company has had an environmental assessment of the Property performed, if any hazardous substances are found at any time on or around the Property, the Company may be held liable for all cleanup costs, fines, penalties and other costs regardless of whether it owned that Property when the releases occurred or the hazardous substances were discovered. If losses arise from hazardous substance contamination that cannot be recovered from a responsible party, the financial viability of the Project may be substantially affected. In an extreme case, the Project may be rendered worthless, or the Company may be obligated to pay cleanup and other costs in excess of the value of the Project.

Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments have been completed for the property. A Baseline Environmental Assessment was submitted to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and Commongrounds is not expected to be held liable for hazardous substances identified and reported in the BEA, pursuant to state and federal environmental laws. Subject to state approval, Commongrounds has been allocated brownfield funding to assist with any environmental cleanup required onsite.

Because the Property requires substantial construction, there are additional risks relating to the nature of such construction efforts. Construction risks include, but are not limited to, the timeliness of the project's completion, the integrity of appraisal values, and the length of the ultimate construction process. If construction work is not completed (due to contractor abandonment, unsatisfactory work performance, or various other factors) and all available financing has already been expended, then in the event of a default the Company may in some instances borrow significant additional funds to complete the construction work. Any such investment could potentially require that it be repaid by the Company prior to the Investors receiving any distributions on their investment; in such event, the ability of the Investors to realize a return on their investment would be materially adversely affected. Investments involving properties with such development or significant rehabilitation business plans have an increased risk of failure.
