Israeli businessman Amos Luzon's recent acquisition of a controlling stake in U.S. real estate firm Kohan Property is facing immediate complications due to ongoing financial reporting problems. Just a month after Luzon's group, along with Oren Halfon's Alpha Gidurin, purchased the company for approximately $6.4 million, it has been revealed that Kohan Property is still struggling to finalize its financial statements.
The company announced it cannot yet set a date for the release of its revised second-quarter 2026 financial reports due to an incomplete accounting review stemming from discovered errors in its financial data. Consequently, Kohan Property also stated it will miss the deadline for its third-quarter report, prolonging investor uncertainty about the company's current financial health.
The issues stem from the company's previous controlling shareholder, Michael Kohan, who allegedly misused company funds for personal debt repayment. Further withdrawals were uncovered, with his debt to the company reportedly reaching $15.5 million by September. Kohan was removed from his management roles and subsequently lost control of the company when a lien on his shares was executed due to his failure to repay a $4 million personal loan from Natanel Lorenz.
Luzon's group acquired a 60% stake in Kohan Property, which owns commercial real estate in the U.S. valued at around $736 million, but also carries significant liabilities and liquidity issues. The acquisition price was considered unusually low given the asset value, but the ongoing financial irregularities and a legal challenge from Michael Kohan over the share transfer complicate the situation.
While the delay in reporting does not necessarily indicate further losses or a reduction in asset value, it hinders investors' ability to assess the company's true financial standing. Luzon, known for tackling complex deals, now faces the challenge of not only the value of the assets acquired at a discount but also the time and resources needed to resolve Kohan Property's financial and reporting problems.
