Six Peak Monthly Finance call
Bob Kennedy, Chris Aiello, Chris Andresen, grady@lvllc.com
Summary
What happened
- The meeting reviewed updated financial reporting, job profitability, funding reconciliations, and near-term cash management.
- Year-to-date performance was ahead of budget, primarily because bonding profit on Francis and Miverton was excluded from the budget and billing was more aggressive than the budget curve.
- Nelrose was operating at a loss because of personnel costs disproportionate to the job, including Joe’s approximately $250,000 compensation, Dorian’s allocation, and Henry’s assignment.
- Joe’s compensation will continue through year-end under the restructuring arrangement and is expected to change when he leaves.
- Allocations are expected to improve as Francis, Riverton, and Lexington begin, while construction-specific accounting software is being evaluated to automate payroll and job-cost allocation.
- The annual budget remains the basis for year-to-date comparisons, while monthly reforecasting is primarily internal.
- A discrepancy remained between the portal’s approximately $400,000 consolidated 2026 income projection and the updated file’s approximately $1.2 million year-to-date figure.
- Potential factors included bonding revenue timing and the $299,000 non-cash Aimwell loan write-off, which was excluded from the budget.
- Francis funding and closing costs remained unresolved.
- A $576,000 rate-lock deposit shared with MRK was apparently not credited to the borrower or reflected in closing costs, and a separate $98,000 amount removed from the closing statement also required recovery or inclusion in the first draw.
- The reconciliation compared the counterparty’s cost schedule with approximately $13 million recorded in Yardi, with material differences and ledger treatment still under review.
- Wilton and Reading had funded their outstanding amounts, leaving GPSP with excess cash.
- The proposed approach was to retain approximately four months of Reading debt-service payments as a reserve and return remaining funds to Grandview and Stain, subject to reviewing Reading’s NOI, debt service, and reserve requirements.
- Discussions with Goldberg regarding a Reading buyout and the residual at Francis were continuing, although Stain was not expected to have significant appetite for the transaction.
