Material items extracted from the risk-factor, conflicts, and prior-performance sections of USA Opportunity Income's PPMs. Each is quoted verbatim with its source page — surfaced, not editorialized.

Key-person history disclosed — Going concern — pre-revenue startup with no operating history

High

The auditor included a going-concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report for the period ended August 31, 2021. The Company has no revenue, no operating history, and is entirely dependent on proceeds from the bond offering and discretionary advances from shareholders or affiliates. Management has also raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not commenced operations and does not have a sufficient source of funds to cover expected future operating expenses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Key-person history disclosed — Key-person dependency on Dania Echemendia and Andrew Murray

Medium

The Company's success is dependent on its two executive officers, Dania Echemendia and Andrew Murray, whose expertise cannot be easily replaced. Neither is required to devote full time to the Company.

We rely on our management team and need additional key personnel to grow our business, and the loss of key employees or inability to hire key personnel could harm our business. We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our executive officers, Dania Echemendia and Andrew Murray have expertise that could not be easily replaced if we were to lose any or all of their services.
PPM p.3596% confidence

Key-person history disclosed — Management team has limited experience in mortgage loan underwriting and managing real estate loans

Medium

The offering circular discloses that the management team has limited experience in mortgage loan underwriting and in managing real estate loans or developing real estate projects, which is a key risk given the Company's core business of originating real estate loans.

Our management team has limited experience in mortgage loan underwriting. If the method adopted by the Company for evaluating real estate property related to a potential real estate loan and for establishing interest rates for the corresponding real estate loan proves flawed, investors may not receive the expected yield on the USA Real Estate Bonds.
PPM p.2895% confidence

Related-party conflict disclosed — Foreclosed assets may be sold to affiliated entities without independent review

Medium

In the event of foreclosure, the Company may sell acquired properties to entities affiliated with or controlled by the Company or its principals without any independent review or arm's-length assurance. This creates a direct conflict of interest as the Company would represent both buyer and seller.

In order to facilitate such a sale, we may, but are not required to, arrange a sale to persons or entities affiliated with us or controlled by us, (e.g. to a limited liability company formed by us or an affiliate of ours). We will be subject to conflicts of interest in arranging such sales since we would represent or have an interest in both parties to the transaction. There will not be any independent review by any outside parties of such transactions.
PPM p.7197% confidence

Related-party conflict disclosed — Officers and directors not required to devote full time; competing outside business interests

Low

Officers and directors are not required to dedicate their full time to the Company and may engage in other business activities including competing investments and lending, which could divert attention and create conflicts of interest.

None of the officers and directors of the Company will be required to manage the Company as their sole and exclusive function and they may have other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to the Company, provided that such activities do not otherwise breach their agreements with the Company. We are dependent on these persons to successfully operate the Company. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating the Company.
