1. Suitability Standards
The success of a group investment is often enhanced if all of the Members share a common
investment goal, have similar investment experience, and have similar financial capabilities;
therefore the Manager has established Suitability Standards Investors must meet to invest in
the Company for the protection of all Members. The Manager has established these Suitability
Standards after considering the following factors, which each prospective Investor should
carefully consider prior to making an investment decision:

• An investment in real estate has many risk factors associated with it, thus an investment in
these Units involves the risk that Investors may suffer a complete loss of their investment.
• An investment in these Units has little, if any liquidity. It is unlikely that a market for the
resale of these Units will exist. Investors should be prepared to leave their funds invested in
the Company until the sale of the Properties and the subsequent dissolution of the
Company.

• A Member’s return on an investment in these Units will be affected by Federal and State
income taxes. Investors should consider the taxable income (Losses) projected for the
Properties and should understand the importance of their marginal tax bracket in terms of
any projected tax liability or savings.
• The Company intends to use funds raised from this Offering to purchase the Properties in
anticipation that the Properties may produce income and increase in value during its period
of ownership by the Company. However, it is possible that no income will be produced and
no increase in value will be realized due to such things as:
 Fluctuating real estate market conditions in the areas where a Property is located;
 Greater holding costs than anticipated, including property management, marketing,
rehabilitation, and/or closing costs; or
 Lack of qualified buyers or institutional financing at the time a Property is placed on the
market for sale, which may drive down the price of commercial real estate.

1.1 Duration of Investment


An investment in these Units should be considered long-term in nature. Investors should be in a
financial position to hold these Units for approximately two (2) years, however depending on
market conditions, the investment may be sold earlier or held longer. Investors should be
prepared to leave their investment in the Company indefinitely until all Properties are sold.
Investors should be aware that there might be adverse tax consequences of selling their Units
prior to dissolution of the Company.

1.2 Investor Qualifications; Accredited Investors Only

to verify that each Investor is “Accredited,” prior to allowing them admission to the Company.
There are eight (8) separate definitions of Accredited Investors, under which an Investor may
qualify, each of which is provided below, along with the documents the Investor must provide

• A natural person who had individual income in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in

• For an entity such as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or Self Employed Person (SEP)
Retirement Account, all of the beneficial owners must meet one of the above standards. The
beneficial owners may be either natural persons or other entities as long as each meets one
of the definitions of an Accredited Investor per bullets 1 or 2 above.

Verification: Under the Regulation D, Rule 506(c) exemption from registration, another third
party verification service, or a licensed professional of the Investor’s choosing, may verify an
individual Investor’s qualifications by examination of documents from one of the following
sources:

• Roll-Over Accredited – Those people who were treated as Accredited Investors under a prior
506 offering by the same issuer are deemed to be Accredited Investors in future 506(c)

Security Act, a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser must sign the
Subscription Agreement on behalf of the Investor, or provide other documentation that the
plan has total assets in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

1.2.3 Restrictions Imposed by Regulation D, Rule 506(d); Bad Actor Prohibition

Regulation D, Rule 506(d) was adopted by the SEC under the JOBS Act on September 23, 2013.
Rule 506(d) pertains to Investors who acquire more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting
(equity) interests in companies seeking an exemption from securities registration under Rule
506. Such Investors are deemed “covered persons”. If such Investors have been subject to
certain "disqualifying events" (as defined by the SEC), they must either: a) disclose such events
to other Investors (if the disqualifying event occurred before September 23, 2013); or b) own
less than twenty percent (20%) of the voting (equity) Interests in the Company (if the
disqualifying event occurred after September 23, 2013), and c) and they may not participate in
management or fundraising for the Company. Disqualifying events are broadly defined to
include such things as criminal convictions, citations, cease and desist or other final
orders issued by a court, state or federal regulatory agency related to financial matters,
Investors, securities violations, fraud, or misrepresentation.

Investors or other covered persons who do not wish to be subject to this requirement should:
a) acquire less than twenty percent (20%) of the voting Interests in the Company (or ensure

Estates at Parklands LLC 4 Private Placement Memorandum


that the Interests they acquire are non-voting, and b) abstain from participating in management
or fundraising for the Company. Covered persons have a continuing obligation to disclose
disqualifying events both: a) at the time they are admitted to the Company, and b) when such
disqualifying event occurs (if later), for so long as they are participating in the Company. Failure
to do so may cause the Company to lose its Rule 506 securities exemption. A Member who
becomes subject to this provision and fails to report it to the Company may be responsible for
any damages the Company suffers, as a result.

1.3 Investment Unsuitable for 1031 Exchange


The limited liability company Interests being offered in this investment are ineligible for a 1031
exchange. An Investor who may be interested in purchasing or subsequently disposing of their
Interest by means of a tax-deferred exchange should not invest in this Offering.

1.4 Restrictions Imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act; Foreign Investors


1.4.1 Investor Identification Program

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal
law requires the Manager to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person
who subscribes to this Offering.

What this means for you: When you subscribe to this Offering, the Manager may ask for your
name, address, date of birth, state and country of residence, and other information that will
allow them to identify you (and every Investor whom your funds represent). The Manager may
also ask to see your driver's license or other government-issued identifying documents. If you
are a non-US Person (i.e., someone who is not a U.S. citizen, a U.S. resident alien, or a person
living in the U.S. at the time of Subscription), additional identification information issued by
your country of residence will be required. If you are unable or unwilling to provide all of the
requested information, the Manager may deny your Subscription to this Offering.

Foreign Investors (i.e., non U.S. Persons) should inquire of the Manager for a complete list of
identifying information that will be required specifically of them. Additionally, foreign Investors
may be required to complete a supplemental Offeree Questionnaire and/or Subscription
Agreement.

1.4.2 Prohibited Transactions with Certain Foreign Investors

The Class A Units may not be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any
Person who:

• Is named on the list of “specially designated nationals” or “blocked persons” maintained by


the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) at
http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/ or as otherwise published from
time to time; and

Estates at Parklands LLC 5 Private Placement Memorandum


• (1) An agency of the government of a Sanctioned Country, (2) an organization controlled by a
Sanctioned Country, or (3) a person residing in a Sanctioned Country, to the extent subject
to a sanctions program administered by OFAC. A “Sanctioned Country” shall mean a country
subject to a sanctions program identified on the list maintained by OFAC and available at the
following location http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/ or as otherwise
published from time to time.

In addition, Interests in the Company may not be offered, sold, transferred or delivered, directly
or indirectly, to any Person who:

• Has more than fifteen percent (15%) of its assets in Sanctioned Countries; or
• Derives more than fifteen percent (15%) of its operating income from investments in, or
transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE A NON-U.S.PERSON, THE MANAGER IS REQUIRED TO CHECK YOUR NAME(S)
AGAINST THESE LISTS. IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE, DO NOT
READ FURTHER AND IMMEDIATELY RETURN THIS MEMORANDUM TO THE COMPANY OR THE
APPLICABLE MEMBER OF THE SELLING GROUP. IN THE EVENT YOU DO NOT MEET SUCH
REQUIREMENTS, THIS MEMORANDUM SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL INTERESTS
TO YOU.

1.5 ERISA Considerations


The Company will accept investments by employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, including
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). ERISA rules state that, unless exempt, when benefit
plans own twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total value of any class of Interests offered
by the Company, the Interests may be deemed a “Plan Asset”, which could subject the
Company to additional fiduciary responsibilities, independent auditing, and reporting
requirements. However, the Manager believes that the Assets of the Company will not
constitute Plan Assets within the meaning of the Department of Labor Regulations under an
exemption available when fifty percent (50%) or more of the Assets owned and operated by the
Company are real estate investments.

1.6 Subscriptions Subject to Review and Acceptance by the Manager


The Manager will review the documents provided by prospective purchasers of Class A Units
(hereinafter “Investor” or “Investors”) to ensure that:

• Each Investor has testified that it meets the Suitability Standards established by the
Company set forth in this Section;
• Each Investor has executed and returned the signature and contact information pages of the
Agreement; and

Estates at Parklands LLC 6 Private Placement Memorandum


• Each Investor has completely filled out the Subscription Booklet and that the information
provided is consistent with previous information provided to the Manager by the Investor.

Documents presented by Investors who do not meet the Suitability Standards established by
the Manager, or which have not been properly completed, will be promptly rejected or
returned for correction, as applicable. Prior to acceptance, the Manager reserves the right to
refuse a subscription from any prospective Investor at the Manager’s sole discretion and/or to
request additional information to verify an Investor’s suitability for the Offering.

The Manager will indicate acceptance of the Subscription in writing by returning a copy of the
“Receipt and Acknowledgement” page from the Subscription Booklet for prospective Class A
Members (see Exhibit 3).

Estates at Parklands LLC 7 Private Placement Memorandum


2.3.1 Class A Members

The Company will sell investment units (Units or Interests) in the Company to Investors to raise
capital for organization of the Company and acquisition expenses including the down payment,
due diligence, loan fees, and closing costs, necessary for acquisition, and repairs and
maintenance during ownership of the Properties. Investors who acquire Interests in the
Company will become Class A Members of the Company. Class A Units will comprise ninety-nine
(99%) of the total Interests in the Company.

The Minimum Investment Amount required of a single investor is Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) or the purchase of five (5) Class A Units. The Manager reserves the right to accept
less than the Minimum investment Amount from a single Class A Investor in order to reach the
Minimum Dollar Amount to “break impounds” (i.e., use Investor funds), or to achieve the
Maximum Dollar Amount of the Offering; or in limited circumstances at the Manager’s sole
discretion. The Maximum Investment Amount allowed of a single Class A Investor is One Million
Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000), or the purchase of one thousand four hundred
(1,400) Class A Units.

2.3.2 Class B Members

On startup of the Company, Parklands Management LLC (or its members and their Affiliates, or
others whom the Manager may admit as Class B Members) will retain ownership of one percent
(1%) of the Membership Interests in the Company in the form of Class B Interests in exchange
for a total Capital Contribution of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and for noncapital
contributions in the form of past services they have contributed to make this investment
opportunity available to the Class A Members. The Class B Interests shall be irrevocable, and
subordinate to the Class A Interests.

2.4 Class A Members May Also Be Lot Purchasers


A Class A Member may also be a lot purchaser, at the same terms and conditions as a member
of the public may purchase a lot. For example, a Class A Member may invest Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000) through the purchase of Interests in the Company and additionally
contract with the Company to purchase a lot priced at Four Hundred Thousand Dollars
($400,000). To facilitate the closing of the purchase of the lot, the Class A Member will receive a
return of their initial investment of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), through escrow,
and complete the $400,000 purchase price by depositing another Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($200,000) into escrow.

If a Class A Member invested Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) in the Company and
purchased a lot costing Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), to facilitate the closing of
the purchase, the full Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) will be returned to the Class A
Member, through the purchase escrow.

the Class A and Class B Members will be required to substantively amend the Agreement. Other

matters on which Class A Members may vote and the requisite Percentage Interests are

Estates at Parklands LLC 11 Private Placement Memorandum


3.4 Working Capital and Reserves
Any proceeds of the Offering that are not used to acquire the Properties may be held in the
Company bank account for use as Working Capital and Reserves during operation of the
Company. Working Capital and Reserves may be accumulated from cash flow during operation
of the Company and any capital improvements. Distributions to the Members may be deferred
at as the Manager’s sole discretion.

4. Distributions to Members
The Members may receive Distributable Cash from the Company as authorized in the
Agreement. In general, the Manager intends to operate the Company in such a manner as to
generate Distributable Cash it can share with the Members.

Distributable Cash shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Manager after the Class A
Member, who is also a lot purchaser, receives a return of their initial Capital Contribution and
after withholding sufficient Working Capital and Reserves. Distributions to Class A Members,
when made, will be allocated among them in proportion to their Percentage Interests in the
Class A Units.

Distributable Cash, if any will be distributed as described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 below,
depending on the phase of operation of the Company. Distributions will be evaluated on a
quarterly basis, although the Manager does not expect to generate any Distributable Cash from
operations of the Company, but anticipates that Distributions will first be available once the
Company begins the process of selling the improved lots.

4.1 Cash Distributions During Company Operations


The Company does not anticipate making any Cash Distributions until it begins to sell the
Properties, per Section 4 above.

4.2 Cash Distributions from Capital Transactions


Distributable Cash, if any, from a Capital Transaction, such as sale of one or more of the
Properties, will be distributed in the order provided below until expended:

• First, on sale of the Properties, Class A Members will receive all of the Distributable Cash
until one hundred percent (100%) of their initial Capital Contributions have been returned;
then

• Second, the Class A Members will receive a ten percent (10%) cumulative, annual preferred
return, based on the amount of each Class A Member’s Unreturned Capital Contribution;
and

Estates at Parklands LLC 12 Private Placement Memorandum


• Third, any remaining Distributable Cash will be split 10/90 between the Class A Members
and the Class B Members, with the Class A Members receiving ten percent (10%) and the
Class B Members receiving ninety percent (90%).

For the purposes of Cash Distribution calculations only, all Distributions from Capital
Transactions will be treated as a return of capital until the Members have received one
hundred percent (100%) of their initial Capital Contributions, after which any further returns
will be a return on investment.

4.3 Cash Distributions on Dissolution and Termination


The Company shall be dissolved on the disposition of all of the Properties, per bullets 1 through
3 below.

• First, to pay the creditors of the Company, including the Manager, a Member, or a third
party who has loaned or advanced money to the Company or has deferred any Fees;
• Second, to establish Reserves against anticipated or unanticipated Company liabilities; and
• Third, to the Members as described in Section 4.2 hereof.

5. Manager’s Fees and Compensation to Affiliated


Third Parties
In addition to the Cash Distributions described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the Manager, its
members or Affiliates may earn additional compensation in the form of Fees, real estate or
property management commissions, interest, or other compensation as further described in
Table 5.1 below. Such compensation will be paid as an expense of the Company prior to
determining Distributable Cash. Manager’s Fees are authorized in Article 5 of the Agreement.
The Manager reserves the right to defer collection of any compensation from the time it is
earned until sufficient cash is available without forfeiting any right to collect, and may earn
interest on any deferred compensation.

6. Conflicts of Interest

Affiliates of the Manager. Potential conflicts may be, but are not limited to the following:

6.1 The Class A Investors May Be Allowed to Purchase Homes


Class A Investors will be able to purchase lots at the same price as the general public. This is not
expected to have any effect on the interests or the rights of other Class A Investors.

6.2 Manager May Be Involved in Similar Investments


The Manager may act as a manager or be a member in other limited liability companies
engaged in making similar investments to those contemplated to be made by the Company. To
the extent its time is required on other business and ownership management activities the
Manager may have diminished ability to be involved in the day-to-day monitoring of the
Company’s operations.

Estates at Parklands LLC 14 Private Placement Memorandum


6.3 Manager Has Interests in Similar Properties
The Manager, or an Affiliate, may own other developed or undeveloped lots in the neighboring
communities of where the Properties are located.

6.4 Manager May Act on Behalf of Others


The Manager may act in such capacity for other Investors, companies, partnerships, or entities
that may compete with the Company for Investors and its time and resources.

6.5 Manager May Raise Capital for Others


The Manager, who will raise investment funds for the Company, may act in the same capacity
for other Investors, companies, partnerships, or entities that may compete with the Company
for investors.

6.6 Manager’s Compensation May Create a Conflict


The Manager will receive compensation from this Offering as described in Sections 4 and 5. The
Manager’s interest in earning its own compensation may create a conflict between the
interests of the Manager and those of the Company.

6.7 The Manager May Hire Affiliates or Delegates


The Manager may hire an Affiliate of the Manager or a Member, or other unaffiliated
delegates, vendors or suppliers to provide other services to the Company on its behalf. Fees for

Company and the Manager were or will be the result of arm’s-length negotiations. The

will be selected by the Manager. No independent counsel has been retained to represent
Investors’ interests, or the interests of the Company, and the Agreement has not been
reviewed by any attorney on the Investors’ behalf. Each prospective Investor should consult its
own counsel as to the terms and provisions of the Agreement, this Memorandum and all
Exhibits hereto.

Estates at Parklands LLC 15 Private Placement Memorandum


7. Duties of Manager to the Members; Indemnification
7.1 Fiduciary Duties of the Manager to the Company
The fiduciary duties the Manager owes to the Company and the other Members include only
the duty of care, the duty of disclosure and the duty of loyalty, as set forth in the Agreement,
Article 6.9. A Member has a right to expect that the Manager will do the following:

• Use its best efforts when acting on the Member’s behalf,


• Not act in any manner adverse or contrary to the Member’s interests,
• Not act on its own behalf in relation to its own interests, and
• Exercise all of the skill, care, and due diligence at its disposal.

In addition, the Manager is required to make truthful and complete disclosures so that the
Members can make informed decisions. The Manager is forbidden to obtain an advantage at
the expense of any of the Members, without prior disclosure to the Company and the
Members.

7.2 Indemnification of Manager


The Agreement provides an indemnification of the Manager for liabilities the Manager incurs in
dealings with third parties on behalf of the Company. The Company is bound to indemnify and
hold the Manager harmless for any acts or omissions within the authority granted to the
Manager, unless the Manager engages in willful misconduct, bad faith, or fraud. Further, the
Agreement contains a provision that each of the Members shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Manager for any liability associated with any misrepresentation(s) by them as to their
suitability for membership in the Company, based on the Suitability Standards established by
the Manager in Section 1 hereof.

This indemnification will provide the Members with a more limited right of action against the
Manager than they would have if the indemnification were not in the Agreement. This provision
does not include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), such indemnification is contrary to
public policy.

The complete indemnification provisions are contained in Article 6.11 of the Agreement.

Estates at Parklands LLC 16 Private Placement Memorandum


8. Risk Factors
8.1 Risk Factors Related to the Company
8.1.1 Company Has No Track Record

The Company is newly formed and has no operational history. It will be managed by the
Manager, who has prior experience in real estate projects. See Section 9 below. An Interest in
the Company is a speculative investment involving a high degree of risk.

8.1.2 Success of the Company Depends on the Manager’s Abilities

The success of the Company depends upon the Manager’s ability to acquire lots, oversee
develop and eventually dispose of the Properties in a manner that produces Distributable Cash.
Members of the Manager have experience with similar properties.

The Company will be particularly dependent upon the efforts, experience, contacts and skills of
the members of the Manager. The loss of any such individual could have a material, adverse
effect on the Company, and such loss could occur at any time due to death, disability, divorce,
resignation or other reasons.

8.1.3 Lack of Control and Limited Voting Rights of the Class A Members

The Class A Members will have no control over the Company’s day-to-day operations, and will
be able to vote only on certain, specified decisions including replacement of the Manager for
“Good Cause,” amendment of the Agreement, or expulsion of a Member, and other limited
decisions. A summary of Member voting rights is provided in Article 7.4 of the Agreement.

8.1.4 Limited Transferability or Liquidity of Class A Interests

The Interests are being offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act or the
securities laws of any state, in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by
sections 3(b), and 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and
certain exemptions from registration and/or qualification under applicable state securities laws
and regulations. When subscribing for Interests, each Member agrees to not resell or offer for
resale any of the Interests unless the Interests are registered and/or qualified under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration
and qualification is available. Furthermore, the Manager may prohibit transfers that would
terminate the Company for tax purposes, that would violate the Securities Act or any rules or
regulations thereunder, or any applicable state securities laws or any rules or regulations
thereunder, that would subject the Company to the reporting or registration requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or that would result in the treatment of the Company as an
association taxable as a corporation.

Estates at Parklands LLC 17 Private Placement Memorandum


There is no public market for the Interests and it is extremely unlikely that any will ever
develop. As a result, the investment in the Company is illiquid should a Class A Member desire
to liquidate their Interest prior to dissolution or termination of the Company. An Investor may
be unable to liquidate their investment in the Company even in an emergency. The Company
has no obligation, and does not intend, to cause the Interests to be registered under the
Securities Act or registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state or to comply with
any other provision of law which would permit the Interests to be readily marketable by an
Investor. Members have no right to require registration, to cause the Company to comply with
any exemption, or to cause the Company to supply information necessary to enable the
Members to make sales. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Interests should be acquired only
as a long-term investment.

There is a risk that no market for the Class A Units exists and If a Class A Member attempts to
sell their Class A Units prior to the dissolution of the Company, there is no certainty that the
Class A Units can be sold for full market value or that the Units may be sold at any price.

8.1.5 Lack of Capital Could Inhibit Meeting Company Objectives

There is a risk that the amount of capital raised in this Offering will be insufficient to meet the
investment objectives or operational requirements of the Company. If there is a shortage of
capital, the Manager will use its best efforts to obtain funds from a third party. Obtaining funds
from a third party may require an increase in the amount of financing the Company will be
obligated to repay. In addition, there is no certainty that funds from a third party will be
available at a reasonable cost, requiring a capital call from all Members if approved by a
Majority of Interests (per Article 2.3 of the Agreement). If the Manager or requisite Members
do not approve such a vote, the Manager’s only recourse would be to provide an Advance of its
own funds, or obtain a loan from a Member or a third party, which may or may not be available
on terms advantageous to the Company.

If insufficient capital is raised from this Offering, capital improvements planned by the Manager
will be delayed until sufficient cash flow is generated from the sale of the Properties, if ever.
This could impact the ability of the Company to achieve some of its investment objectives
identified in Section 10 hereof.

8.1.6 Risk of Not Receiving Any Distributable Cash

Cash flow Distributions will only be available to the extent there is cash flow after the sale of
the Properties. Additionally, even if there is cash flow from the sale of the Properties, the
Manager of this Company, in its sole discretion, may cause the Company to retain some or all of
such funds for working capital purposes and other reserves. Therefore, there can be no
assurance as to when or whether there will be any Cash Distributions from the Company to the
Members. It is possible that the Company will not achieve any Distributable Cash and that the
Members may not receive any Cash Distributions at all.

Estates at Parklands LLC 18 Private Placement Memorandum


8.1.7 Lack of Diversification

The Company will own no significant assets other than the Properties. The Company has no
plans to diversify its investments and minimize the effects of changes in the real estate market
in the Properties’ competitive area. The success of the Company, therefore, will be totally
dependent on the success of these Properties and its successful management and operation by
the Manager.

8.1.8 Special Risks for Investors Who Acquire More Than 20% of the Equity Interests

Such Investors May Need to Qualify and Sign Loan Documents for the Property

The lender for the Properties may require underwriting of Investors who purchase twenty
percent (20%) or more of the Interests in the Company. This could require that such Investors
provide individual financial statements and sign loan documents or personally guarantee loans
on behalf of the Company. Investors who do not wish to be subject to this requirement should
acquire less than twenty percent (20%) of the Interests in the Company, which may be a
variable amount, depending on whether the Minimum or Maximum Dollar Amount of the
offering is raised.

Such Investors May Be Subject to the Bad Actor Provisions of Rule 506(d)

Regulation D, Rule 506(d) was adopted by the SEC under the JOBS Act on September 23, 2013.
Rule 506(d) pertains to Investors (“covered persons”) who acquire more than twenty percent
(20%) of the voting (equity) interests in companies seeking an exemption from securities
registration under Rule 506. If such Investors have been subject to certain "disqualifying
events" (as defined by the SEC), they are required to either: a) disclose such events to other
Investors (if they occurred before September 23, 2013); or b) own less than twenty percent
(20%) of the voting (equity) Interests in the Company (if they occurred after September 23,
2013), and c) and they may not participate in management or fundraising for the Company.
Disqualifying events are broadly defined to include such things as criminal convictions, citations,
cease and desist or other final orders issued by a court, state or federal regulatory agency
related to financial matters, Investors, securities violations, fraud, or misrepresentation.

Investors or other covered persons who do not wish to be subject to this requirement should:
a) acquire less than twenty percent (20%) of the voting Interests in the Company (or ensure
that the Interests they acquire are non-voting), and b) abstain from participating in
management or fundraising for the Company. Covered persons have a continuing obligation to
disclose disqualifying events both: a) at the time they are admitted to the Company, and b)
when such disqualifying event occurs (if later), for so long as they are participating in the
Company. Failure to do so may cause the Company to lose its Rule 506 securities exemption.

8.1.9 Investors Not Represented by Independent Counsel

The prospective Investors as a group have not been represented by independent counsel in
connection with the formation of the Company or this Offering. The Limited Liability Company

Estates at Parklands LLC 19 Private Placement Memorandum


Agreement and amendments thereto have been prepared by counsel for the Manager and such
counsel owes no duties of any kind to any other Members of the Company. Counsel for the
Manager is not responsible for checking the background of the Manager or its Affiliates, nor is
such counsel responsible for checking the background of any Investor or other Member of the
Company. In addition, counsel for the Manager has no duty to enforce or check the Members’
compliance with the Suitability Standards set forth by the Manager in Section 1 hereof.

8.2 Risk Factors Relating to the Property


8.2.1 Due Diligence May Not Uncover All Material Facts

The Manager has prior experience in other real estate projects and has endeavored to obtain
and verify material facts regarding these Properties. It is possible, however, that the Manager
has not discovered certain material facts about the Properties, because information presented
by the sellers may have been prepared in an incomplete or misleading fashion, and material
facts related to the Properties may not be discovered until the Company owns the Properties.

8.2.2 Financial Projections May Be Wrong

The Manager has made certain financial projections concerning the future performance of the
Property which have been provided to potential Investors in the Investment Summary attached
to this Memorandum as Exhibit 4, and incorporated herein by reference. These projections are
based on assumptions of an arbitrary nature and may prove to be materially incorrect. No
assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by these
projections. Investors should satisfy themselves as to the plausibility of the Manager’s
assumptions.

These and all other financial projections, and any other statements previously provided to
Investors relating to the Company or its prospective business operations that are not historical
facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Sentences or phrases
that use such words as "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "may," "hopes," "can," "will,"
"expects," "is designed to," "with the intent," "potential" and others indicate forward-looking
statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Although such statements are based on the Manager’s current estimates and expectations, and
currently available competitive, financial, and economic data, forward-looking statements are
inherently uncertain. A variety of factors could cause business conditions and results to differ
materially from what is contained in any such forward-looking statements.

It is possible that actual results from operation of the Company will be significantly different
than the returns anticipated by the Manager and/or that the projected returns may not be
realized in the timeframe projected by the Manager, if at all.

Estates at Parklands LLC 20 Private Placement Memorandum


8.2.3 Regional, State and Local Economic Conditions

Performance of the Properties is likely to be dependent upon the condition of the economy in
the area where each Property is located. The Manager expects to hold the Properties for two
(2) years. However, there is a risk that at the time of the projected sale of a Property, the
marketplace may be different than projected, which may require a Property to be held longer
than anticipated, or sold at a loss. Despite the Manager’s projections, an Investor should be
prepared to leave their Capital Contribution with the Company until the Properties are sold.

8.3 Risks Related to Owning Real Estate


8.3.1 General Risks of Real Estate Investing

Factors which could affect the Company’s ownership of income-producing property might
include, but are not limited to any or all of the following: changing environmental regulations,
adverse use of adjacent or neighboring real estate, changes in the demand for or supply of
competing property, local economic factors which could result in the reduction of the fair
market value of the Properties, uninsured Losses, significant unforeseen changes in general or
local economic conditions, inability of the Company to obtain any required permits or
entitlements for a reasonable cost or on reasonable conditions or within a reasonable time
frame or at all, inability of the Company to obtain the services of appropriate consultants at the
proposed cost, changes in legal requirements for any needed permits or entitlements, problems
caused by the presence of environmental hazards on the Property, changes in Federal or state
regulations applicable to real property, failure of a lender to approve a loan on terms and
conditions acceptable to the Company, lack of adequate availability of liability insurance or all-
risk or other types of required insurance at a commercially-reasonable price, shortages or
reductions in available energy, or acts of God or other calamities. Furthermore, there could be
a loss of liquidity in the capital markets such that refinancing or sale of the Properties may be
hindered.

The Company's investment in the Properties will be additionally subject to the risks and other
factors generally incident to the ownership of real property, including such things as the effects
of inflation or deflation, inability to control future operating costs, vandalism, uncertainty of
cash flow, the availability and costs of borrowed funds, the general level of real estate values,
competition from other property, residential patterns and uses, general economic conditions
(national, regional, and local), the general suitability of a Property to its market area,
governmental rules and fiscal policies, acts of God, and other factors beyond the control of the
Company or the Manager.

8.3.2 Uninsured and Underinsured Losses; Availability and Cost of Insurance

The Properties are located in southwest Washington. This geographic area may be at risk for
damage to property due to certain weather-related and environmental events, including such
things as severe thunderstorms, flooding, snow and ice. To the extent possible, the Manager
will attempt to acquire insurance against fire or environmental hazards. However, such

Estates at Parklands LLC 21 Private Placement Memorandum


insurance may not be available in all areas, nor are all hazards insurable as some may be
deemed acts of God or be subject to other policy exclusions.

All decisions relating to the type, quality and amount of insurance to be placed on the
Properties are made exclusively by the Manager. Certain types of losses, generally of a
catastrophic nature (such as ice or wind damage, and floods) may be uninsurable, not fully
insured or not economically insurable. This may result in insurance coverage that, in the event
of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full prevailing market value or prevailing
replacement cost of a Property. Inflation, changes ordinances, environmental considerations,
and other factors also might make it unfeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a Property
after the Property has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance
proceeds received might not be adequate to restore a Property.

Recently, the cost of certain types of insurance, such as hurricane, flood and earthquake
coverage, has risen substantially. In some instances, insurance has become unavailable. The
Company may proceed without insurance coverage for certain risks if it cannot secure an
appropriate policy or if the Manager believes that the cost of the policy is too high with respect
to the risks to be insured. Changes in the availability and cost of insurance may cause the
Company to obtain different types and/or amounts of coverage for the Properties than may
have been obtained for similar properties in the past.

Furthermore, an insurance company may deny coverage for certain claims, and/or determine
that the value of the claim is less than the cost to restore a Property, and a lawsuit could have
to be initiated to force them to provide coverage, resulting in further losses in income to the
Company. Additionally, the Property may now contain or come to contain mold, which may not
be covered by insurance and has been linked to health issues.

8.3.3 Liability for Environmental Issues

Under various federal, state and local environmental and public health laws, regulations and
ordinances, the Company may be required, regardless of knowledge or responsibility, to
investigate and remediate the effects of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product
releases (including in some cases natural substances such as methane or radon gas) and may be
held liable under these laws or common law to a governmental entity or to third parties for
property, personal injury or natural resources damages and for investigation and remediation
costs incurred as a result of the real or suspected presence of these substances in soil or
groundwater beneath a Property. These damages and costs may be substantial and may exceed
insurance coverage the Company has for such events.

The Manager will attempt to limit exposure to such conditions by conducting due diligence on
the Properties, however, all or some of these conditions may not be discovered or occur until
after the Property has been acquired by the Company.

Estates at Parklands LLC 22 Private Placement Memorandum


8.3.4 Federal, State and Local Regulations May Change

There is a risk of a change in the current Federal, state and local regulations as it may relate to
the operations of the Company in the area of approved property use, zoning and environmental
regulations, or property taxes, among other regulations.

8.3.5 Title Insurance May Not Cover All Title Defects

The Manager will acquire title insurance on the Properties, but It is possible that uninsured title
defects could arise in the future, which the Company may have to defend or otherwise resolve,
the cost of which may impact the profitability of the Property and/or the Company as a whole.

8.3.6 Compliance with Americans With Disabilities Act

Under the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the ADA), all public accommodations are
required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. A
determination that a Property is not in compliance with the ADA could result in imposition of
fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If substantial modifications are made to
comply with the ADA, the Company’s ability to make distributions to its Members may be
impaired.

8.4 Risk Factors Involving Income Taxes


8.4.1 The Manager Will Not Obtain an IRS Ruling

The Company will elect to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. The
Manager has determined not to obtain a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to
the tax status of the group.

8.4.2 Registration as a Tax Shelter

The Company may be required to register with the Internal Revenue Service as a "tax shelter."

8.4.3 Tax Liability May Exceed Cash Distributions from Operations of the Company

As a result of decisions of the Manager in operating the Company, which may require the
suspension of Cash Distributions due to a need to maintain a higher level of cash Reserves,
along with other events, there is a risk that, in any tax year, the tax liability owed by a Member
will exceed its Cash Distribution in that year, resulting in a phenomenon known as “phantom
income”. As a result, some or all of the payment of taxes may be an out-of-pocket expense of
the Member. The Manager will attempt to make Distributions in such a manner that a
Member’s tax liability will be covered, to the extent Distributable Cash is available.

Estates at Parklands LLC 23 Private Placement Memorandum


8.4.4 Tax Liability May Exceed Cash Distribution on Property Disposition

There is a risk that on disposition of a Property, the tax liability of the Member may exceed the
Distributable Cash available. In the event of an involuntary disposition of a Property, there is
the possibility of a Member having a larger tax liability than the amount of cash available for
Distribution at the time of the event, or at any time in the future.

8.4.5 Risk of Audit of Member’s Returns

There is a risk that an audit of the Company’s records could trigger an audit of the individual
Member’s tax records.

8.4.6 Risk That Federal or State Income Tax Laws Will Change

There is a risk associated with the possibility that the Federal or state income tax laws may
change affecting the projected results of an investment in the Company. There is a possibility
that in the future Congress may make substantial changes in the Federal tax laws that apply to
the Company and its Members.

8.4.7 Risk That Income Tax Returns May Not Be Timely Prepared

If the Company is unable to prepare and deliver its Federal or state income tax returns in a
timely manner, the Members may be forced to file an extension on their individual income tax
returns and may incur a cost to do so, including possible penalties to the Federal and state
governments. If the Company is unable to prepare and deliver the Federal or state income tax
returns at all, the Members may be required to incur additional expenses in employing
independent accountants to complete the returns.

8.4.8 Losses Limited to Amounts at Risk

The extent to which a Member may utilize losses from the Company will be limited to the
amount the Member is found to be "at risk" with respect to the Company.

8.4.9 Limitations on Use of Passive Losses

Losses from a passive activity are not allowed to offset other types of income, such as salary,
active business income, and "portfolio income," and may offset income only from other passive
activities. The Company anticipates that most of the net income (if any) allocated to the
Members may be used by the Members to offset their "passive activity losses," if any.

9. Prior Performance of the Company, the Manager and
Affiliates
9.1 History of the Company and Manager
The Company is newly formed specifically for the purposes stated herein and in the Investment
Summary (Exhibit 4) and has no experience raising and investing funds in any company or
Properties or in any investments of the type contemplated by this Offering. However, members
of the Manager have prior experience in acquiring and developing lots, constructing houses,
and managing or selling such Properties, and have been involved with several pooled
investment vehicles involving construction of residential homes on lots in other subdivisions.
The Manager will provide investors with additional information about its prior track record with
such properties on request.

9.2 Financial Statements of the Company


The Company is newly formed and does not have an audited financial statement. The Manager
will obtain unaudited financial statements for the Company at the end of the Fiscal Year for
distribution to the Members.

9.3 Financial Statements of the Manager


The Manager will not make its financial statements available for the Members to review.

10. Investment Objectives and Policies


10.1 Construct and Dispose of the Properties
The Company intends to use the funds generated from the Offering of Class A Interests in the Company
to purchase and develop a parcel of land which has preliminary approval for 41 total lots, contained
within a planned, gated residential subdivision within the city limits of Camas, WA. The development
borders the beautiful Camas Meadows Golf Course at the north end of Lacamas Lake. 23 of the 41
home sites back up to either a forested preserve or are along the golf course.

10.2 Provide Members with Commercial Real Estate Investment


Opportunities
One of the specific investment Company objectives is to provide the Members with an
opportunity to participate in real estate investment opportunities as part of a group, in order
to avail themselves of group ownership benefits, such as commercial property ownership,
limited liability, professional property management, and tax benefits that may not otherwise be
available to individual Investors. The Company’s policy is to own and dispose of the Properties
on behalf of the Members.

Estates at Parklands LLC 25 Private Placement Memorandum


10.3 Provide Members with Limited Liability
One of the specific investment objectives is to provide the Members with limited liability for
events at the Properties and/or actions of the Manager. The Company’s policy will be to
operate the Company in such a manner that each Member remains a passive Investor in order
to minimize their potential liability regarding operation of the Company and to operate the
Company in such a manner as to afford liability protection to the outside assets of the
Members to the extent allowed under Washington limited liability company laws.

10.4 Anticipated Property Holding Periods


The Company’s investment objective is to own the Properties until they can be sold and the
proceeds distributed. However, the Company may hold the Properties longer, or until market
conditions for sale of the Properties are optimal. Furthermore, the Manager will continually
explore opportunities for sale of the Properties, which may occur earlier than the projected
hold time. If the Property is sold earlier than anticipated, it may result in an early return of the
Members’ Capital Contributions.

If market conditions preclude disposition of all Properties owned by the Company at the end of
the projected time, the life of the Company may be extended and operations of the Company
will need to continue until more favorable market conditions occur and each Property can be
sold. Investors may not cash out their investment until all Properties have been sold and the
Manager has distributed a return of the Members’ Capital Contributions.

10.5 Provide Cash Distribution to Members


An investment objective of the Company is to generate Distributable Cash from resale of the
Properties for Distribution to the Members. Returns will be paid from Company profits
generated from the sale of the Properties as described in Section 4 hereof and Article 4 of the
Agreement.

10.6 Provide for Self-Liquidation


An investment objective of the Company is to manage the Company so that it will be self-
liquidating. The Company policy will be to dissolve the Company at such time as the Properties
have been sold, unless all of the Members have elected to continue the Company.

10.7 Allow Class A Members Minimal Involvement in Management


An investment objective of the Company is to provide the Class A Members with an investment
that requires minimal involvement in property or asset management. The Company policy will
be for the Manager to make all decisions regarding the Properties on behalf of the Company.

Parklands Management LLC is the initial Manager of the Company and shall manage all business
and affairs of the Company unless it is removed for Good Cause (as defined in the Agreement)

Estates at Parklands LLC 26 Private Placement Memorandum


or resigns. The Manager shall direct, manage, and control the Company to the best of its ability
and shall have full and complete authority, power, and discretion to make any and all decisions
and to do any and all things that the Manager shall deem to be reasonably required to
accomplish the business and objectives of the Company. The rights and duties of the Manager
are described in Article 6 of the Agreement.

10.8 Keep Members Apprised of Property Affairs


The Manager intends to furnish Members with periodic financial status reports for the
Company. The Manager will prepare an annual information package that it expects to deliver by
March 1st of each year. The annual information package will include such things as an annual
operations update, financial statements, K-1 forms, and a copy of the Company tax return, as
applicable.

The Manager intends to conduct periodic teleconferences and/or email updates with the
Members, as the Manager deems necessary to keep them apprised about affairs involving the
Company. The members of the Manager will be available to answer questions during normal
business hours via telephone or email.

11. Property Information and Exhibits


11.1 Title Insurance
The Manager intends to obtain title insurance for each Property naming the Company as the
beneficiary.

11.2 Insurance Policies


The Manager will attempt to obtain property, casualty and liability insurance policies covering
each Property as appropriate to protect the Company’s Interest in the Property and naming the
Company as the beneficiary.

11.3 Other Documents


The Manager expects that the Company will enter into other legally binding instruments that, in
the Manager’s business judgment, are prudent with respect to the Company’s interest in the
Properties or in effecting the Company’s operation or investment objectives.

11.4 Exhibit List


The following Exhibits provide additional relevant information about the Company and the
Properties, each of which is provided electronically (or hard copy on request) and incorporated

execute.

• Exhibit 3 is the Subscription Booklet, which must be completed and signed by each
prospective Member or its financial advisor.
• Exhibit 4 is an Investment Summary describing the Property acquisition and resale strategies
of the Company.

The Manager may supplement the Exhibits during the period of the Offering by sending notice
to all recipients of the Offering documents with instructions on how to access them.

12. Federal Taxes


The potential Investor should be aware of the material Federal income tax aspects of an
investment in the Class A Units, effective as of the date of this document. An Investor should
consult with their tax professional to determine the effects of the tax treatment of the Class A
Units with respect to their individual situation.

12.1 Reporting Status of the Company


The adoption, by the IRS, in 1996, of the so-called ‘check-the-box’ regulations sets partnership
status as the default Federal tax classification for limited liability companies being formed
today. No further action need be taken by the Company to obtain partnership status.

The Company will elect to be treated as a partnership for State income tax purposes. By
maintaining partnership tax status the Company will not report income or loss at the Company
level, but will report to each Member their pro rata share of Profits and Losses from operations
and disposition according to Appendix B of the Agreement. This process will make the Company
a pass through entity for tax purposes.

12.2 Taxation of Members


The Company will be treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes. A partnership is not a
taxable entity. A Member will be required to report on their Federal tax return their
distributable share of partnership profit, loss, gain, deductions, or credits. Cash Distributions
may or may not be taxable, depending on whether such Cash Distribution is being treated as a
return of Capital or a return on investment. Tax treatment of the distributions will be treated
according to appropriate tax accounting procedure as determined by the Company’s C.P.A.

12.3 Basis of the Company


An original tax basis will be established for the Company by including the total acquisition cost
of the Properties. An original tax basis will be established for the Company in each Property
based on its purchase price and acquisition costs. The tax basis of the Company will be adjusted
during the operations of the Company by the addition of any capitalized expenditures.

Estates at Parklands LLC 28 Private Placement Memorandum


12.4 Basis of a Member
A Member will establish their original tax basis based on the amount of their initial Capital
Contribution. Each Member’s tax basis will be adjusted during operations of the Company by
the addition of any Capital Contributions they make. A Member may deduct their share of
Company Losses only to the extent of the adjusted basis of their Interest in the Company.

12.5 Deductibility of Prepaid and Other Expenses


The Company will incur expenditures for legal fees in association with the set-up of the
Company. These expenditures will be capitalized and will be deducted on dissolution of the
Company.

The Company will incur expenditures for accounting fees associated with the preparation and
filing of the annual informational return and the preparation of Schedule K-1 reports to be
distributed to the Members. These expenditures will be deducted on an annual basis. All other
normal operating expenses will be deducted on an annual basis by the Company, which will use
a calendar accounting year.

12.6 Taxable Gain


Members may receive allocations of taxable income from Company operations, from the sale or
other disposition of a Member’s Interests, from disposition of the Properties, or from phantom
income. From Operations

According to the Company Investment Objectives and Policies, the Manager is projecting that
there will be taxable income to distribute to the Members on the Schedule K-1 report provided
to each Member annually, once the sale of the lots begins.

12.6.1 From Disposition, Dissolution and Termination

On disposition of the Properties or on dissolution and termination of the Company, which will
likely be caused by the sale of the Properties, the Members may be allocated taxable income
that may be treated as ordinary income or capital gain. Article 4 of the Agreement describes
Cash Distributions from disposition of the Properties, and Article 14 describes Cash
Distributions on dissolution and termination of the Company.

In addition, the Members may receive an adjustment in their Capital Account(s) that will either
increase or decrease the capital gain to be reported. The Agreement describes the operation of
Capital Accounts for the Company and the Members.

12.6.2 From Sale or Other Disposition of a Member’s Interests

A Member may be unable to sell their Interests in the Company, as there may be no market. If
there is a market, it is possible that the price received will be less than the market value. It is
possible that the taxes payable on any sale may exceed the cash received on the sale.

Estates at Parklands LLC 29 Private Placement Memorandum


Upon the sale of a Member’s Interest, the Member will report taxable gain to the extent that
the sale price of the Interest exceeds the Member’s adjusted tax basis. A portion of taxable gain
may be reported as a recapture of the cost recovery deduction allocated to the Member and
will be taxed at the cost recovery tax rate in effect at that time.

12.6.3 Phantom Income

It may occur that in any year the Members will receive an allocation of taxable income and not
receive any Cash Distributions. This event is called receiving phantom income as the Member
has income to report, but receives no cash. In this event, the Members may owe tax on the
reportable income.

12.6.4 Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT)

An Investor who acquires Class A Units through their Individual Retirement Accounts may be
subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT). Investors are suggested contact their CPA or
tax advisor to determine how the application of UBIT may apply to them.

12.7 Tax Returns and Tax Information


Annually, the Manager will file an informational return, using IRS Form 1065. In addition, the
Manager will annually provide each Member a Schedule K-1 report. Each Member will report
this income or loss along with their other taxable income. The tax liability incurred by each
Member will depend on their individual marginal tax rates for both State and Federal tax. The
Manager will attempt to provide the annual tax information to the Members by March 1 of
each year.
