Project Description

AJIN USA is an automotive manufacturing facility that specializes in metal parts stamping and robotic welding.  AJIN USA is one of two exclusive suppliers to Kia Motor Manufacturing Georgia (“KMMG”) and exclusive body parts supplier to Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (“HMMA”). 

AJIN USA is currently located within the Chambers County Development Authority (“CCDA”) formerly known as the Industrial Development Authority of Chambers County, Alabama.
 
In March 2008, AJIN USA entered into a Project Agreement with Chambers County Alabama to locate their 330,000 square foot manufacturing facility ($88.7 million project) at Cusseta Industrial Park in Chambers County.  One of the many incentives AJIN has received is a tax abatement of a significant portion of local, county and state taxes for a period of 10 to 20 years in exchange for job creation within the county.  Since AJIN USA's inception in 2008, the unemployment rate of Chamber's County has decreased by almost 9%.

Yes
Rule 506

Reg. S?
No
Investment type
Loan
Total amount of estimated funding required for all phases of development(in Millions)?
62
Is this a new commercial enterprise or purchase of an existing troubled business?
New commercial enterprise
What percentage of overall funding has been raised to date?
less than 10%
Does the investor need to be accredited to invest?
Yes
Are returns paid on the investment prior to maturity?
No
Can you describe in more detail how returns are paid, and under what conditions? For instance, are they only paid if the project is positive cash flow or profitable. What expenses must be accounted for and paid prior to distributions are paid to investors?
Capital investments from EB-5 foreign investors will be at risk for at least five years, and the return of the capital investment can occur only after five years, if at all. The EB-5 investors will receive their share of interest income from the EB-5 Loan, net of expenses and the management fees payable to the Regional Center as the manager of the Company. It is anticipated that such net payment will be in an amount equal to 0.285% per annum of the EB-5 Loan, but there is no assurance that members will receive any distributions.
Can you please describe the expected exit strategy and what source(s) of debt or equity are expected to be used to repay the investor’s capital investment?
The Developer is expected to repay the EB-5 Loan at maturity with the proceeds of a long-term financing, its operations or from other sources.
What is the expected term of the investment?
5 years
Can you describe what procedures are in place If the investor needs to liquidate his position before the contracted maturity date of the agreement, and what penalties may be imposed?
If (a) USCIS ultimately denies an investor’s I-526 Petition, (b) an investor withdraws his or her I-526 Petition, or (c) an investor fails to complete the Immigration Processing (as defined below), if the amount of the capital contribution is still held in escrow at such time, any portion of the capital contribution that remains in escrow will be returned to the investor without interest as promptly as possible, but in any event no later than 45 days after we have received the written notice from an investor of I-526 Petition denial, I-526 Petition withdrawal, or Immigration Processing failure. If the investor’s capital contribution is not held in escrow, upon the investor’s request we will make commercially reasonable efforts to redeem the membership interests from the investor for the amount of the capital contribution without interest, subject to the availability of funds. • The Escrow Agent will release to such investor 20% of his or her Capital Contribution Escrow Funds then held in escrow in the Holdback Account, if such funds are still in the Holdback Account. • The Escrow Agent will release to the Company’s general operating account $400,000 (in the case where such investor has received 20% of his or her Capital Contribution Escrow Funds from the Holdback Account) or $500,000 (in the case such investor’s holdback amount was previously released to the Company) from the funds then available in the Holdback Account so that the Company can fund the continued operation without deficit caused by the refund of the denied investor’s capital contribution. • Using the funds then available in the Company’s general operating account, the Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly refund the full amount of such investor’s capital contribution (i.e., $400,000 or $500,000, as applicable). In the event that there are insufficient funds available in the Holdback Account to be distributed and disbursed to the Company’s general operating account, the refund may be delayed.
Have all of the permits and permissions for project development been obtained?
No
Is there any patented intellectual property essential to this project?
No

No

No
Could you please describe the procedure for return of escrow in the event of denial of the I-526 by USCIS?
In the event the Escrow Agent receives a written direction from the LLC and the Subscriber Representative that a Subscriber’s I-526 Petition has been denied (without appeal or after denial of any appeal) by USCIS, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the Holdback Amount, if such funds are still in the Subscription Holdback Account, to the denied Subscriber identified in such written direction, without deduction or payment of interest. The LLC and the Subscriber Representative shall also include in the written direction to the Escrow Agent instruction to release $400,000.00 (in the case where the denied Subscriber’s Holdback Amount is refunded by the Escrow Agent) or $500,000.00 (in the case where the denied Subscriber’s Holdback Amount has been previously disbursed to the LLC’s general operating account) to be distributed and disbursed to the general operating account of the LLC to fund the remainder of the capital contributions of such Subscribers so the LLC can continue operations without deficit being caused by the refund of the denied investor’s capital contribution in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the LLC’s Operating Agreement. Escrow Agent shall rely, conclusively and without further inquiry, upon the LLC and the Subscriber Representative to designate, in writing, the Subscribers whose Holdback Amounts shall be disbursed to the LLC’s general operating account for this purpose. In the event there are insufficient funds available in the Subscription Holdback Account or the LLC’s general operating account to refund all of the $500,000.00 Subscription Proceeds to the denied Subscriber, then such refund may be delayed until there is at least $500,000.00 of funds in the Subscription Holdback Account to enable the refund to the denied Subscriber (taking into account any portion of the Holdback Amount of such denied Subscriber then remaining in the Subscription Holdback Account which would be applied towards such refund).

SRC Ajin-Wooshin Fund V: Risks

Risk Factors

Risk FactorDescription
The Ajin Project will be subject to significant development and construction risks, which could have a material adverse effect on related project timetables, costs, and the Developer’s ability to complete the project.The Ajin Project will be subject to a number of risks, including: • changes to plans and specifications; • engineering problems, including defective plans and specifications; • delays in obtaining or inability to obtain necessary permits, licenses, and approvals; • labor disputes or work stoppages; • disputes with and defaults by contractors and subcontractors; • personal injuries to workers and other persons; • environmental, health, and safety issues, including site accidents and the spread of viruses; • weather interferences or delays; • fires and other natural disasters; • lack of sufficient, or delays in availability of, financing; • geological, construction, excavation, regulatory, and equipment problems; and • other unanticipated circumstances or cost increases. The occurrence of any of these development or construction risks could increase the total costs of, or delay or prevent, the completion of the Ajin Project. Unanticipated cost increases may require the Developer to raise or borrow additional capital to complete the Ajin Project, which may negatively affect its ability to service or repay the EB-5 Loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Developer’s revenues may be significantly less than expected, reducing the ability of the Developer to repay the EB-5 Loan.The financial forecasts of the Ajin Project are based on many assumptions. The Developer’s actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these financial forecasts. These financial forecasts are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks, contingencies, and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. The Developer has projected revenues, profitability, and ability to repay the loans based on current estimates, however, actual amounts cannot be predicted with certainty and could be less than expected due to factors that are beyond the control of the Developer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Can you please describe what conditions could occur in the market that would negatively affect profitability and commercial operations or job creation?
Demand for the Developer’s products is directly related to the vehicle production levels of the Developer’s customers. New vehicle sales and production can be affected by general economic or industry conditions, the level of consumer demand, labor relations issues, fuel prices, fuel efficiency and vehicle safety regulations and other regulatory requirements, government initiatives, trade agreements, the availability and cost of credit, the availability to the Developer’s customers and suppliers of critical components needed to complete the production of vehicles, restructuring actions of the Developer’s customers, end-OEMs and suppliers and other factors. Financial difficulties experienced by any major customer could have a material adverse effect on the Developer if such customer were unable to pay for the products the Developer provides or the Developer experienced a loss of, or material reduction in, business from such customer. As a result of such difficulties, the Developer could experience lost revenues, significant write-offs of accounts receivable, significant impairment charges or additional restructurings, sometimes significantly, from year-to-year, which, in turn, causes fluctuations in the demand for the Developer’s products. The automotive industry is cyclical and sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors, including the global credit markets, interest rates, consumer credit and consumer spending and preferences. An economic downturn, severe weather or other adverse industry conditions that result in even a relatively modest decline in vehicle production levels could reduce the Developer’s sales and thereby adversely affect the Developer’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Job creation methodology
Implan
Does the job creation rely on direct jobs, capital expenditure, or a combination?

Can you describe the job creation model? For instance, is it based on capital injection, or on a direct job creation and indirect job multiplier, or other?
$62 million capital investment will generate new revenue of about $205.7.million. This report utilizes the IMPLAN input/output for Chambers and Lee counties in Alabama and Troup County in Georgia. The IMPLAN final demand multiplier for this 3-county region for auto parts manufacturing is about 4.6335 (see Table B-2), so a total of 953 new jobs would be created. Of these, 473.7 would be direct, 309.3 would be indirect, and 170.0 would be induced jobs.
