SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA CHARLOTTE DIVISION v. Plaintiff, CASE NO. 3:16-CV-285 RICHARD W. DAVIS, JR., and Defendant, DCG REAL ASSETS, LLC, et al., Relief Defendants. RECEIVER S SIXTH REPORT A. Cotten Wright as Receiver (the Receiver ) for the assets of DCG Real Assets, LLC; DCG Commercial Fund I, LLC; H20, LLC; DCG PMG, LLC; DCG PMF, LLC; Finely Limited, LLC; DCG Funds Underwriting, LLC; DCG ABF Management, LLC; DCG Funds Management, LLC; Davis Capital Group, Inc.; Davis Financial, Inc.; DCG Partners, LLC; DCG Real Estate Development, LLC; Huntersville Plaza Phase One, LLC; Huntersville Plaza Phase Two, LLC; North Lake Business Park, LLC; and Richard Davis Enterprises, LLC (collectively, the Receivership Defendants ), files this Receiver s Sixth Report pursuant to this Court s Temporary Receivership Order entered on June 8, 2016, which was made permanent by Orders entered on August 5, 2016 and September 22, 2016 (collectively, the Receivership Order ). This report focuses on the Receiver s activities for the quarter ending September 30, 2017 (the Reporting Period ) in conformance with paragraphs 23 and 24 of the Receivership Order. Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 1 of 27

I. SUMMARY OF RECEIVER S ACTIVITIES A. Summary of Operations. Each of the Receivership Defendants had ceased operations before the receivership (the Receivership ) was filed. Therefore, the Receiver did not operate any business of the Receivership Defendants during the Reporting Period and, likewise, will not be operating any business of the Receivership Defendants during the pendency of this case. With respect to Receivership operations, the Court entered its Order Establishing Procedures for Miscellaneous Motions; Procedures for the Sale of Assets; and Case Closing Procedures (the Procedures Order ) on August 5, 2016, which sets out certain procedures to be followed in this case. In particular, the Procedures Order outlines the process to be followed in connection with sales of real property. B. Cash on Hand / Receipts and Disbursements. On June 23, 2016, the Receiver established an account for the Receivership at Rabobank, N.A. Funds on deposit with Rabobank are insured by the F.D.I.C. A report as to activity in that account through September 30, 2017 is attached as Exhibit A. C. Description of Known Receivership Property. The Receiver has continued her efforts to marshal and liquidate receivership property (the Receivership Assets ). On July 5, 2016, the Receiver and her counsel had a phone conference with Defendant Richard Davis during which they requested information about a number of Receivership matters. In particular, the Receiver asked Davis to identify any assets that he may not have previously disclosed. 2 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 2 of 27

Identification of Assets. Attached as Exhibit B is an updated chart listing all assets identified by the Receiver as assets of the Receivership Defendants along with their estimated gross values, which either reflect the tax values or appraised value of the parcels of real property listed on Ex. B. Recorded liens or litigation claims are noted in the descriptions of the properties on Ex. B but have not been deducted from the values indicated. The Receiver s investigation of the validity of alleged liens and litigation claims will continue as various assets are liquidated, and asset values will be adjusted accordingly. Information regarding specific estate assets is summarized below. (1) Real Property in Mecklenburg County, NC. The Receiver has previously obtained limited title searches on each of the four (4) parcels of undeveloped real property in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. (a) Property contiguous to the Town of Huntersville property. Two parcels of Receivership property, 102 S. Old Statesville Road and 109 Gilead Road, were surrounded by or adjacent to property owned by the Town of Huntersville. Additionally, the Receiver learned that Aegis/DCG Asset Backed Fund, LLC, now known as DCG Commercial Fund I, LLC, held a deed of trust on a portion of two additional parcels that are contiguous to property owned by the Town, identified as Mecklenburg County Tax Parcel Nos. 017-116-18 and 017-116-43, titled to Polaris Properties of the Carolinas, LLC and HTCP Development One, LLC, respectively. During the prior reporting period, the Receiver s foreclosure proceedings to bring that property into the Receivership estate culminated with the Receiver placing a credit bid at the foreclosure sale. Thereafter, the Receiver sought Court authority to sell all the Receivership 3 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 3 of 27

property adjacent to parcels owned by the Town of Huntersville to the Town for a total sale price of $165,000.00. Although that motion drew two pro se objections from Mr. Davis; the Court entered an Order approving that sale. That sale closed during the Reporting Period, and the net proceeds were deposited to the Receivership account on August 2, 2017. (b) Property titled to Finely Limited, LLC. The Receivership property located at 11711 Alexandriana Road, Huntersville, North Carolina, is still being marketed for sale by the Receiver s realtor, Trinity Partners. (c) Property titled to Huntersville Plaza Phase One, LLC. During the Reporting Period, Trinity Partners conveyed an offer on the property located at 16614 Old Statesville Rd, Huntersville, NC. That sale is contingent upon the buyer s ability to obtain approval for certain site changes to modify the entrance to the property and access to Old Statesville Rd. On September 14, 2017, the Receiver signed a letter of intent relative to the sale of the property for $700,000.00. At the close of the Reporting Period, the Receiver was in negotiations relative to a proposed contract for the sale of the property. (d) Property titled to Davis Financial, Inc. During the prior reporting period, the Receiver had obtained a contract to sell the residential real property located at 9137 Mount Holly-Huntersville Road, Huntersville, North Carolina (the Residential Property ), for $187,500.00. This property is titled jointly to Davis Financial, Inc. and M.B. and Bina M. Shah. Because the property requires extensive repairs, the buyer for the Residential Property backed out. Thereafter, the Receiver and the Shahs agreed to accept another offer of $140,000.00, which 4 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 4 of 27

the Receiver advertised in accordance with the Case Procedures Order. At the close of the Reporting Period, no higher offers had been submitted, and no other parties had expressed an interest in this property. Therefore, the Receiver anticipates closing on the sale during the next reporting period. Following that closing, the net proceeds from the sale of the Residential Property will have to be divided in accordance with the interests held by the Shahs and the Receivership estate. The Receiver has disputed the validity of one of the three deeds pursuant to which Davis Financial purported to transfer fractional ownership interests to the Shahs. Meanwhile, the Receivership has borne the costs of maintaining the property while it has been marketed. Thus, either the Shahs and the Receiver will need to negotiate a settlement as to the distribution of the sale proceeds, premised on Court approval, or the Receiver will have to ask the Court to determine the appropriate allocation. The Receiver anticipates that these issues will be addressed during the next reporting period. (2) Real Property in McDowell County, N.C. As previously reported, the Receivership obtained turnover of surplus tax foreclosure sale proceeds with respect to property formerly owned by H20, LLC in McDowell County. Other McDowell County property titled to H20, LLC was abandoned pursuant to an Order entered by the Court. (3) Real Property in Grayson County, VA. During the Reporting Period, the real property titled to H2O, LLC in Grayson County, Virginia, remained on the market for a list price of $1,100,000.00. On April 24, 2017, the Court entered an Order approving a proposed settlement with Ken Hageman, who had brought a pre- Receivership complaint alleging a constructive trust as to the Grayson County Property. 5 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 5 of 27

During the prior reporting period, the Receiver had entered into negotiations as to the sale of the Grayson County Property with an entity identified as Venture Corb, Inc., a Wyoming corporation. To support an offer on the Grayson County Property, Venture Corb s principal, Dwayne Corbitt, had provided documentation allegedly supporting a $1 million loan to Venture Corb and the ability to borrow a total of $10 million; however, the Receiver found cause for concern regarding that documentation. Nevertheless, the Receiver negotiated as to the sale of the Grayson County Property to Venture Corb for $725,000.00 on the condition that sufficient funds to cover the purchase be deposited in escrow. As of the close of the Reporting Period, no contract had been signed. Meanwhile, the Receiver had filed her Motion for Instructions as to Permissible Involvement of Richard W. Davis, Jr. in Liquidating Receivership Estate Property with the Court on May 11, 2017. The Court entered an Order on May 19, 2017 requiring Davis to file a response to that motion after which, the Court would set a hearing. On May 30, 2017, through his criminal counsel, Davis filed a response to the Court s Order. During the Reporting Period, on August 14, 2017, the Court conducted a hearing during which the Receiver was instructed that she should negotiate a finder s fee with Davis in the event that he procured a buyer for Receivership property. Venture Corb s principal, Mr. Corbitt, was referred to the Receiver s realtor by Davis. (4) Real Property in Caldwell County, NC. The listing agreement on the residential lot titled to Richard Davis Enterprises, LLC located at 5330 Beacon Ridge, Granite Falls, Caldwell County, North Carolina, expired during the Reporting Period. The Receiver elected to renew the listing agreement with a reduced asking price of $18,000.00. This property remained on the market at the close of the Reporting Period. 6 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 6 of 27

(5) Bank Funds. During prior reporting periods, the Receiver obtained turnover of funds held in various bank accounts owned by the Receivership Defendants as set out in Ex. A. Despite having issued subpoenas to various banks, the Receiver has not identified any additional funds. (6) Disgorgement as to DCG Commercial Holdings, LLC and DCG Commercial, LLC. During a prior reporting period, DCG Commercial Holdings, LLC and DCG Commercial, LLC were dismissed from this case upon their compliance with an Order requiring disgorgement of $13,677.57 to the Receivership account. (7) Mining Claims. Early in the Receivership case, the Receiver confirmed that no mining claims or interests were held by any of the Receivership Defendants as of the date of the Receivership. (8) Arbitration Award Regarding Willow Creek Mine. On April 10, 2015, an Arbitration Award was made in favor of Ray E. Bluff against Davis, Davis Capital Group, Inc., and Integrity Mining, LLC (the Respondents ) relative to an agreement by Davis Capital Group to purchase a fifty percent (50%) interest in Willow Creek Placer Group, LLC, the owner of certain real property that is the site of the Willow Creek mine in Pershing County, Nevada. The arbitration panel concluded that the full consideration for the agreed-to purchase had not been provided and terminated Davis Capital Group s 50% interest in Willow Creek Placer Group. In addition, however, the Arbitration Award provided that Ray Bluff was to return $175,000.00 to the Respondents provided that all equipment and living units belonging to them or under their control were removed from the Willow Creek mine area within sixty (60) days of the Arbitration Award. 7 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 7 of 27

Davis filed an appeal of the Arbitration Award with the Pershing County, Nevada, District Court which was pending on the date of the Receivership. During the prior reporting period, the Receiver s attorneys entered into discussions of a possible resolution of the Nevada civil action with attorneys for Ray E. Bluff. On August 25, 2017, the Receiver filed a motion to approve a settlement of the Nevada litigation that provided for dismissing the appeal and motion to vacate the arbitration award; allowing Guy Bluff to file a claim the Receivership Case, subject to the Receiver s objection; and acknowledging this Court s exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether or not Bluff should be required to pay the $175,000.00 arbitration award to the Receivership. On September 15, 2017, Davis filed an opposition to that motion, and the Receiver filed a reply to that opposition. The settlement motion remained pending at the close of the Reporting Period. (9) Mining Equipment. During prior reporting periods, the Receiver identified certain mining equipment, vehicles, and the like that constitute Receivership property existing in Nevada (the Mining Equipment ). The Receiver opted to engage the services of a private investigator to locate and retrieve the Mining Equipment. During the last reporting period, the Receiver s investigator, working together with local law enforcement and a heavy equipment hauling company, had attempted to take possession of the Mining Equipment; however, certain individuals controlling the Mining Equipment had refused to surrender possession thereof to the Receiver. Thereafter, on June 2, 2017, the Receiver filed a lawsuit to recover possession of the Mining Equipment and obtained a permanent injunction freezing any disposition of the Mining Equipment and directing the defendants (the Defendants ) to turn it over to the Receiver. During the Reporting 8 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 8 of 27

Period, counsel for the Receiver began negotiating a settlement of the remaining claims in the lawsuit with counsel for the Defendants, which negotiations continued past the close of the Reporting Period. Meanwhile, the Receiver s efforts to secure possession of the Mining Equipment continued during the Reporting Period. In late July, the Mining Equipment was moved from the mining site, which proved to be a time-consuming and arduous process. The Receiver s professionals have since been in contact with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers regarding the liquidation of the Mining Equipment. (10) Miscellaneous Personal Property. (a) 2014 Dodge RAM 2500. During a prior reporting period, the Receiver obtained an Order allowing a Dodge Ram that was titled to Richard Davis Enterprises, LLC to be abandoned because it was encumbered by a lien that exceeded its value. (b) Personal Property Stored at 9137 Mount Holly-Huntersville Road. During a prior reporting period, Mr. Davis removed all his personal property from the house at 9137 Mount Holly-Huntersville Road in accordance with an Order entered by the Court. D. Description of Claims Held by the Receivership Estate. Claims relative to the Receivership s real property interests are reported above. The Receiver has not yet identified any other claims that may be held by the Receivership Estate. E. Communications with Investors. In accordance with her duties as Special Master in the criminal case against Richard Davis (United States v. Richard Wyatt Davis, Jr., 3:16CR312 (W.D.N.C.)), the Receiver attended a hearing on a motion to modify the conditions 9 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 9 of 27

of Davis release. Thereafter, the Receiver posted a notice to the Receivership webpage regarding the Court s decision to strike the requirement of home detention and instead order that Davis be subject to a curfew and location monitoring. Davis criminal trial is scheduled for February, 2018. Updates to victim-investors will be ongoing. The SEC provided the Receiver with lists of investors in the Receivership Defendants. Additional parties have also contacted the Receiver indicating that they were investors in one or more of the Receivership Defendants. The Receiver has contact information for most of investors. However, there remain purported investors for whom the Receiver does not have contact information. As additional investors are identified, their names and contact information will be added to the investor list. Upon the Court s direction, the Receiver is prepared to file (under seal or otherwise) a list of purported investors known to the Receiver. The Receiver has received informal information as to certain creditors of the Receivership Defendants, including the attorney who represented Davis Capital Group in the Nevada arbitration and a Charlotte lawyer who represented Huntersville Plaza Phase Two, LLC in filing for bankruptcy protection. On August 10, 2017, the Court entered Orders approving the Receiver s fourth application for compensation and the second application for compensation by Middleswarth Bowers & Company ( Bowers ), the accountant for the Receiver. On August 3, 2017, the Receiver made partial distributions on approved fees in accordance with the SEC Guidelines limiting the compensation and expense reimbursement available to the Receiver and her professionals to thirty percent (30%) of any net recoveries. The fees approved with respect to the Receiver s second, third and fourth applications for compensation and the fees approved for Bowers first and second applications for compensation remain only partially paid. 10 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 10 of 27

F. Other Issues. During the Reporting Period, the Receiver received requests for information as to any pre-receivership funds paid to certain relatives of Davis. Thereafter, the Receiver received a request from the Internal Revenue Service to permit a search of Receivership records for any such payments. After searches of Receivership records proved inefficient and unproductive, the Receiver requested that her accountants search the QuickBooks files for this information. Ultimately, the Receiver s accountants prepared an accounting satisfactory to the I.R.S. after the close of the Reporting Period. G. Status of Claims Proceedings. Claims Process. During the Reporting Period, the Receiver filed a motion proposing a claims process, claims deadline, and a claim form. No objections were filed in response to that motion, and it was granted in an Order entered on August 10, 2017. On August 16, 2017, the Receiver gave notice of the claims deadline of September 16, 2017, and provided copies of the claim form to all investors and vendors known to the Receiver. Notice of the claims deadline and a link to the claim form were posted on the Receivership webpage. As a result, 93 claims were filed. The Receiver is in the process of reviewing those claims. Ultimately, the Receiver intends to recommend to the Court the allowance of the principal amount invested by each investor, not to include any profit that may have been reported by the Receivership Defendants, and, for purposes of distributions by the Receiver, taking into account any withdrawals by investors. 11 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 11 of 27

Distribution Procedures. The Receiver intends to file a motion with the Court seeking approval of a distribution procedure after reviewing the claims that were filed and upon sufficient liquidation of Receivership assets. The Receiver will give investors notice and an opportunity to object to the proposed distribution process when that motion is filed. Net Winner Investors. As of the date of this Report, the Receiver has not identified any investors as net-winners by virtue of their having withdrawn more than they invested in the Receivership Defendants. To the extent that any such net-winners are identified, the Receiver will determine the appropriate steps to take. Distribution. Once the Receiver is satisfied from her investigation as to the amounts invested by investors and any withdrawals taken by investors, and after the Court has approved the Receiver s proposed distribution method, the Receiver plans to recommend approval of an interim distribution. Ultimately, all funds collected by the Receiver as property of the Receivership Estate, less the costs of administration of the Receivership and any other disbursements approved by the Court, will be available for distribution to investors. G. Receiver s Recommendations. The Receiver recommends that the Receivership be continued in order to permit her and her professionals sufficient time to liquidate Receivership Assets for the benefit of the investors. At this point, the Receiver cannot predict how long it will take to liquidate the various parcels of real property owned by the Receivership Defendants, which reflect the bulk of the Receivership Estate. Further, to the extent that litigating issues related to assets is necessary, that process would likely take months. Accordingly, the Receiver is unable to forecast how long it will take to convert all Receivership assets to cash, but will, by filing periodic reports, keep the Court and investors apprised of her best estimate of the progress of the Receivership and the estimated time it will take to conclude it. 12 Case 3:16-cv-00285-GCM Document 144 Filed 10/23/17 Page 12 of 27
