Item 1.

Business.

American First Financial, Inc. (“AFF”) is a Florida corporation formed in March, 2001. AFF is a mortgage banking firm that specializes in wholesale lending for mortgage brokers. Their operations are primarily the sourcing of loans from mortgage broker contacts and the package resale of those loans to major banking institutions. The mortgage operations acquire, originate and sell adjustable rate mortgages (ARM’s) and fixed rate mortgages (FRM’s) from mortgage brokers and retail customers. AFF operates as a marketing company for Global Lending Group, Inc. who is a major mortgage banking firm and a shareholder of AFF. Global has major national approvals to originate and sell loans including direct FHA and VA approvals and agreements to sell loans to major Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lenders. AFF markets for loans to mortgage brokers around the country and when loans are submitted they are given to Global for underwriting and approval. When approved they are closed and funded in Global’s name. AFF assumes no credit risk, closing and funding loans through Global, with their funds. In all circumstances AFF now closes and funds its loans from an agreement with Global Lending Group, Inc.

AFF has developed a national network of loan originators comprised of mortgage brokers and small lenders to originate loans for its loan products which consist of non-conforming and conforming loans. A non-conforming loan is a loan that fails to meet bank criteria for funding. Reasons include the loan amount is higher than the conforming loan limits of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (for mortgage loans), lack of sufficient credit, the unorthodox nature of the use of funds, or the collateral backing it.

AFF can originate non-conforming loans on primary, secondary and investment properties. In addition, we will originate non-conforming loans to borrowers who would be considered poor credit risks, with a recent bankruptcy or loan default experience.

No mortgage broker accounted for more than 10% of loans originated in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 or in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Sources of Funds

AFF is able to offer a broad range of products to such a diversified group of credit-quality borrowers because we are in constant touch with the needs and requirements of a unique group of non-conforming investors.

No lending source accounted for more than 10% of loans purchased/originated in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 or in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Competition

Our competitors include a number of large financial institutions. These financial institutions generally have significantly greater resources and access to capital than we do, resulting in a lower cost of funds and a greater ability to purchase non-conforming loans. We compete by targeting our marketing to customers who are either to small to have access to these institutions or are not aware of their existence.

Employees

As of March 31, 2009, AFF had a staff of two people, including one in sales, marketing and administration, one in processing, submissions and closings.

Regulation

Our business is subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission and the state agencies that license our servicing and collection entities. We also must comply with a number of federal, state and local consumer protection laws, including, among others, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Homeowners Protection Act. These statutes apply to debt collection, foreclosure and claims handling, investment of and interest payments on escrow balances and escrow payment features, and they mandate certain disclosures and notices to borrowers. These requirements can and do change as statutes and regulations are enacted, promulgated or amended.

We are subject to certain federal, state and local consumer protection provisions. We incur minor expense in adhering to any of the above mentioned regulations or requirements since all underwriting, closing and funding is done through Global and their Quality Control Department manages all of that.

Revenues

For the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, revenues were $48,338 and $271,908, respectively.  Revenue decreased in the current quarter due to general economic conditions.  Gross margin decreased in the current year, based on the decrease in volume.  Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, increased primarily due to reductions in earned commissions.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were incurred in the amount of $89,873 for the year ended March 31, 2009, compared to $179176 for the comparative year ended March 31, 2008. The overall, change was due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses, particularly professional expenses and stock-based compensation. Professional expense decreases are related to the Company’s initial preparation for public trading occurring in the prior year.

Net Loss

The Company incurred a net operating loss for the year ended March 31, 2009 in the amount of $60,011 compared to net loss of $24,171 for the year ended March 31, 2008. The change in the year earnings is directly related to the decrease in sales and gross margin.

The current economic conditions have negatively affected our business model. There is an abundance of demand for refinancing, however the credit markets do not offer the supply of cash in which to fund these requests, therefore mortgage financing has decreased, as has our closings on mortgages and other financial instruments. Additionally, there has been a decrease in the overall number of housing sales, further reducing the number of transactions requiring mortgage financing.

Cash used in operations has significantly increased, primarily for expenses incurred in operations for legal and professional fees related to the public filings.  

We are currently financing our operations primarily through operating activities. These activities have not always been adequate for the cash requirements of the business, to generate additional sales and the obligations to its creditors.  From time to time it is necessary for the company to increase cash through the sale of stock through private investors or through temporary loans from and by the majority shareholder.  We believe we can currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash and expected revenues from operations. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. Even without sufficient revenues, due to the current economic conditions, in the next twelve months, we anticipate that proceeds received from our securities sales and the attainment of proceeds from temporary debt financing will enable AFF to continue with operations.

As reflected in the audited financial statements, as of March 31, 2009, we have an accumulated deficit of $730,623 negative working capital of $76,193 and for the year ended March 31, 2009 we incurred negative cash used in operations in the amount of $54,309. These issues raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to maintain profitability and or attain funding through additional share sale or debt financing. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2009 the Company had minimal cash to meet current obligations. The Company may rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund any operating shortfall

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

·

Address: 639 Cleveland Street Suite 340 Clearwater, FL 33755

·

Size: 600 square feet

·

Landlord: Tone 40 Buildings

·

Term: Month to Month

·

·

·

Type: Rental property. Owned as an Investment.

We do not intend to renovate, improve, or develop properties. Our policy with respect to investments in real estate mortgages is set forth in “Business,” above. Specifically, business assumes no credit risk, originating mortgages only where it has a firm commitment from a major banking institution to purchase the mortgage and it has already been underwritten. In all circumstances AFF will fund a loan from an agreement with Global Lending Group, who is a shareholder. Further, we do not intend to invest in securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

Item 4.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

The following table sets forth the ownership, as of the date of this prospectus, of our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, our directors, and our executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we

believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. The business address of the shareholders is 639 Cleveland Street Suite 340, Clearwater FL 33755.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

We have no compensation arrangements (such as fees for retainer, committee service, service as chairman of the board or a committee, and meeting attendance) with directors.

Item 7.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

The Company has a Demand Promissory Note in the amount of $69,030 with Toni Behr, a member of the Board of Directors. The note pays interest at the rate of twelve percent and is callable at any time.

Through an agreement dated March 2, 2002, in exchange for 500,000 shares that were given to Justin Moulton, principal of Global Lending Group, Inc. We utilize the licenses and approvals of Global Funding Group for loan origination and funding. At funding, the loans become the property of Global Funding Group. The agreement is perpetual and may only be cancelled by AFF.

The amounts and terms of the above transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.

Corporate Governance and Director Independence.

The Company has not:

·

established its own definition for determining whether its directors and nominees for directors are “independent” nor has it adopted any other standard of independence employed by any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, though our current director would not be deemed to be “independent” under any applicable definition given that he is an officer of the Company; nor

·

established any committees of the board of directors.

Given the nature of the Company’s business, its limited stockholder base and the current composition of management, the board of directors does not believe that the Company requires any corporate governance committees at this time.

As of the date hereof, the entire board serves as the Company’s audit committee.

Item 8.

Legal Proceedings.

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Currently the Company has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit for unsolicited advertisement. Management does not believe the merits of the claim of $500 with possible treble damages assessment up to $1,500. Due to the uncertainty of outcome, the Company has not accrued any potential liability. The Company does not believe this matter or any other unasserted claims that may exist would have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 9.

Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

Penny Stock Considerations

Our shares are "penny stocks", as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor.

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:


·

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

·

Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

·

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

·

Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our Common Stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market, and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These



8



additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

OTC Bulletin Board Qualification for Quotation

We intend to secure a qualification for our securities to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board once this registration statement is effective and the SEC staff has indicated they have no further comments. To have our shares of Common Stock qualified for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our Common Stock. We have engaged in preliminary discussions with an NASD Market Maker to file our application on Form 211 with FINRA, but as of the date of this Prospectus, no filing has been made. Based upon our counsel's prior experience, we anticipate that after this registration statement is declared effective, it will take approximately 2 - 8 weeks for FINRA to issue a trading symbol and allow sales of our Common Stock under Rule 144.

Sales of our Common Stock under Rule 144

There are 7,057,205 shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates, both employees and non-employees, and 12,925,000 shares held by affiliates Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 defines as restricted securities.

In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months, may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. These restrictions do not apply to non-affiliates after a holding period of one year but continue to apply for affiliates regardless of their holding period. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities. All 7,057,205 shares held by non-affiliates have been held for at least 6 months.

Holders

As of the date of this registration statement, we had approximately 327 shareholders of record of our Common Stock.

Dividends and Distributions

We have not declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Reports to Shareholders

As a result of this offering, we will become subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will file periodic reports, proxy statements, and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission We will voluntarily send an annual report to shareholders containing audited financial statements.

Where You Can Find Additional Information

We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form 10. The registration statement and exhibits may be inspected, without charge, and copies may be obtained at prescribed rates, at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F St., N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The registration statement and other information filed with the SEC are also available at the web site maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 10.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

In 2007 and 2008, we sold an aggregate of 10,175,000 shares to our 3 officers and directors and 7 other individuals at prices ranging from $.01 to $.05 per share for total aggregate consideration of $211,750.

We relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the above issuances to US citizens or residents.

We believed that Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 was available because:

·

None of these issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions.

·

Restrictive legends were and will be placed on all certificates issued as described above.

·

The distribution did not involve general solicitation or advertising.

·

The distributions were made only to investors who were sophisticated enough to evaluate the risks of the investment.

Prospective investors were invited to review at our offices at any reasonable hour, after reasonable advance notice, any materials available to us concerning our business. Prospective Investors were also invited to visit our offices.

Item 11.

Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.05 par value per share. As of the date of this registration statement, there were 19,982,205 shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by 327 shareholders of the record.

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of shareholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the shareholders of our common stock who hold, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent of the total voting rights can elect all of our directors and, in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any of such directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. There are not any provisions in our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws that would prevent or delay change in our control.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in series, as fixed by the Directors, with a par value of $.05 per share. As of the date of this Registration Statement, there are no Preferred Shares outstanding, with all shares of Preferred Stock previously issued having been cancelled.

Preferred Stock may be issued in series, with preferences and designations, as the Board of Directors may, from time to time, determine. The Board may, without shareholders approval, issue Preferred Stock with voting, dividend, liquidation, and conversion rights that could dilute the voting strength of our common shareholders, and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted changes in control. There are no restrictions on our ability to repurchase or reclaim our preferred shares while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends on our Preferred Stock.



10



Item 12.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to Section 607.0850 of the Florida Statutes, the Registrant has the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being a director or officer of the Registrant, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our By-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

With regard to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors

American First Financial, Inc.

Clearwater, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of American First Financial, Inc. as of March 31, 2009 and 2008and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company incurred recurring net losses, resulting in negative cash flows and negative working capital.  There are limited financial assets in which to satisfy any future cash requirements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

American First Financial, Inc.

Notes to the Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2009 and 2008

Note 1

Organization, Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business Operations

American First Financial, Inc. (“AFFI”) is a Florida corporation formed in March, 2001. AFFI is a mortgage banking firm that specializes in wholesale lending for Mortgage Brokers. Their operations are primarily the sourcing of loans from mortgage broker contacts and the package resale of those loans to major banking institutions. The mortgage operations acquire, originate and sell and adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) and fixed rate mortgages (FRMs) from correspondents, mortgage brokers and retail customers. The business assumes no credit risk, originating mortgages only where it has a firm commitment from a major banking institution to purchase the mortgage and it has already been underwritten. In some infrequent circumstances, when risks are mitigated, AFFI will fund a loan from closing until the sale date, normally within 30 to 90 days, through a Line of Credit from a related party or will fund it through Global Lending Group, a related party (See Related Party Note.)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the year ended March 31, 2009 and 2008; (b) the financial position at March 31, 2009, and (c) cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 have been made.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Information

The Company’s balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash, loans from shareholders, accounts payable, accrued expenses and note payable to stockholder. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. The carrying values of the note payable to stockholder approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents.



17



Revenue Recognition

AFFI receives origination fees for the origination of loans and recognizes these when the earnings process has been completed and documented through filings with local governmental agencies, generally at closing. Some loan fees are received in the form of a discount or premium on loans sold; these are recognized as origination income when received.

Mortgages, Loan Loss Reserves and Capitalization

AFFI does not hold mortgages for investment and thereby does not calculate loan loss reserves and is not subject to any minimum capital requirements by the State or any regulatory agency. AFFI utilizes the licenses of Global Lending Group, a related party (See Note 8), for closing and funding any loans that need funding until their sale. These loans are the property of Global Lending Group at closing and as such, are not reflected on the financial statements of AFFI.

Real Estate Owned

The Company records owned real estate at the lower of cost or market at the time of recording. Fair market value is determined as the most recent sale price or appraisal and cost being the principal balance of the loan outstanding.

Mortgage Servicing

AFFI collects principal and interest on a mortgage held by a related party. No income or expenses are recognized on this transaction.

Property and equipment

Property and Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Investment in Property and Other Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Stock Options

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

Advertising

The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $2,298 and $3,240 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Advertising expenses are included in the Company’s selling operating expenses.



18



Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares. There are no share equivalents and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Current Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160; Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interest. Minority interest will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported as component of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the date of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. The adoption of SFAS 160 had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet or results of operation.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives and the financial statement impact of derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company’s adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS No. 163 also clarifies how SFAS No. 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities to increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. The Company has assessed the impact of SFAS No. 163 on its financial position and results of operations and determined it to have no effect on the operations or financial condition.



19



In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. As we do not have convertible debt, the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 has had no effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 has had no impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective retrospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”), to clarify the application of the provisions of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance and applies to the Company’s current financial statements. The application of the provisions of FSP 157-3 did not affect the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for the period ended March 31, 2009.

In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock, effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF No.07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The adoption of EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 requires an employer to provide certain disclosures about the assets held by its defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The required disclosures include the investment policies and strategies of the plans, the fair value of the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop fair value measurements and a description of significant concentrations of risk in plan assets. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 to have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. Under FSP SFAS No. 157-4, transactions or quoted prices may not accurately reflect fair value if an entity determines that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or the liability in relation to the normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). In addition, if there is evidence that the transaction for the asset or liability is not orderly, the entity shall place little, if any weight on that transaction price as an indicator of fair value. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009 subject to the early adoption of FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. The Company did not elect to early adopt FSP SFAS No. 157-4; however, it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Financial Statements.



20



In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP SFAS No. 115-2”). FSP SFAS No. 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) for fixed maturity securities that are classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity if management does not intend to sell the impaired security and it is more likely than not it will not be required to sell the impaired security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company does not have investments in fixed maturity securities and, accordingly, expects no impact from adoption of this pronouncement.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP SFAS No. 107-1”). FSP SFAS No. 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to require fair value of financial instrument disclosure in interim financial statements and amends APB No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The provisions of FSP SFAS No. 107-1 are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company did not elect to early adopt FSP SFAS No. 107-1; however, it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

Note 2

Going Concern

The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, for the Company to continue as a going concern.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, AFFI incurred operating loss for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Although the Company does not have a history of losses and maintains a positive net worth, there remains an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at March 31, 2009.  AFFI has limited financial resources with which to satisfy any future cash requirements and until such time as AFFI is able to raise additional capital or generate positive cash flow from operations, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. AFFI’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon AFFI's ability to generate mortgages and thereby origination fees at a rate sufficient to meet obligations and costs. Management plans to fund its future operations by obtaining additional financing and continuing to grow the mortgage origination base. However, there is no assurance that AFFI will be able to grow the business or to obtain additional financing from investors or private lenders and, if available, such financing may not be on commercial terms acceptable to AFFI or its shareholders. The key factors that are not within the Company's control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of the Company's business plan, the ability to raise capital in the future, the ability to expand its customer base, and the ability to hire key employees to provide services. There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 4

Property, held for sale

The Company owns a single family residence located in Lugoff, SC that it acquired in 2005 when the borrower defaulted on a note AFFI had sold to an affiliate with recourse. AFFI took back the note and the property when the borrower defaulted. The property was recorded at the property’s net realizable fair value, which considered the property market value less expected costs to sell, at the time it was acquired.  The asset is not depreciated as it is being marketed and currently held for sale.

The original net realizable value was considered $65,794 and includes accumulated valuation allowances of $5,794, included in other comprehensive income.

The Company does not have any further exposure to loans with recourse, as it has discontinued the practice, due to the economic uncertainty and the inability to finance such defaults.

Note 5

Options

Option awards under the employee incentive stock option plan (“EISOP”) provide that the strike price shall not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and that no portion of any option award may be exercised beyond ten years from that date. Options granted under the EISOP, in prior years, were issued for past performance and therefore vest immediately at the date the options were granted.

No additional expense has been recorded regarding these options and no additional options have been issued. There were no options exercised during the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Note 6

Income Taxes

The Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets in association with capital losses incurred from marketable equity securities transactions, due to tax limitations and uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance (100%) established against deferred tax assets arising from the securities capital losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company has net long-term capital losses of approximately $410,000 and unused Net Operating Loss carryforwards of approximately $16,000 which begins to expire in 2028.  Differences in financial statement accumulated deficit and taxable losses resulting in Net Operating Losses are due to permanent non-deductible stock transactions.  

Note 7

Equity

The company has two classifications of stock:

Preferred Stock

Preferred Stock includes 5,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.05.  Preferred Stock has been issued as Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. Preferred Stock has liquidation and dividend rights over Common Stock, which is not in excess of its par value. The Series B Preferred Stock was issued with conversion rights without a mandatory redemption feature. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of common.  There was no beneficial conversion features to the Series B Preferred Stock and therefore, no valuation adjustment was considered to be required. Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to 100 common share equivalent votes. During 2008 the remaining 2,000 outstanding Preferred Shares, held by the majority common stock shareholder, were retired and treated as additional contribution to capital.

 Common Stock

Common Stock includes 50,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.05. The holders of Common Stock and the equivalent Preferred Stock, voting together, shall appoint the members of the Board of the Directors. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

As part of the initial phase of capitalization, a non-controlling equity investment in an unaffiliated entity was received in exchange for common stock. As there was no ready market value of the AFFI’s issuing stock, the stock was valued at the fair market value of the stock received, which was also the basis of the equity of the individual (majority shareholder after the completion of the stock issuance). The stock received was held as available for sale.  The value of the stock diminished and eventually sold at a loss in 2007, resulting in the reduction of equity.  

Note 8

Earnings per Share

Due to the net operating loss, all options and conversions are considered anti-dilutive and therefore only basic calculation is provided. Basic weighted average per share excludes items that would have been included in the fully-diluted weighted average shares. Shares that would be included would be, if exercised, options held by Officers and Directors (2,300,000 common share equivalents).

Note 9

Related Party Transactions

As of March 31, 2009, the Company has a Demand Promissory Note in the amount of $69,030 with a member of the Board of Directors. The note pays interest at the rate of twelve percent and is callable at any time. The purpose for the additional debt was in used for operating cash flow requirements.

The Company has Loans to Shareholder that represents loans to Mr. Stirling, President in the amount of $52,287 and $147,441 as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount included $100,000 due for the issuance of common shares, based on prior service performed. In mutual agreement with the Board of Directors, Mr. Stirling is applying $20,000 of salary, annually, to reduce amounts outstanding. The amounts due are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are payable on demand.

The Company collects interest and principal on a mortgage note that was purchased by a member of its Board of Directors. The Company received no income from this servicing for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Through an agreement, in exchange for shares that were given to Global Lending Group, AFFI utilizes the licenses of Global Funding Group for loan origination and funding. At funding the loans become the property of Global Funding Group.  

For the year ended March 31, 2008, Mr. Stirling, President was contractually entitled to a Bonus of 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The stock was recorded at the par value, which was equivalent to the last traded fair value and the offered price of the Company’s common stock on market.  The Company recorded the compensation for the year at the trading value, resulting in compensation, included in operating expenses, for the year end statements ended March 31, 2008. In March 31, 2008, the President forgave the distribution of this stock compensation provision. The contract stipulating the bonus payment was terminated during the year March 31, 2009; therefore no compensation was recognized in 2009. Compensation expense is recognized in the amount of $0 and $25,000 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The amounts and terms of the above transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.

Note 10

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has limited needs for office space and subleases office space on a month to month arrangement. The Company has not entered into any lease arrangement plan. AFFI has no known future commitments. Rent expense was $1,200 and $3,900 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company.
