NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization:

Genesis Financial, Inc. (“the Company” or “Genesis”) was incorporated in Washington State on January 24, 2002.  The Company is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing and selling real estate receivable contracts, initiating new real estate loans and periodically providing bridge capital funding.  These receivables contracts consist of real estate contracts and mortgage notes collateralized by primarily first position liens on residential and commercial real estate.  The receivables collateralized by real estate are typically non-conventional either because they are originated as a result of seller financing, or the underlying property is non-conventional.

The Company invests in receivables contracts using investor funds, equity funds and funds generated from external borrowings including a line of credit facility from an affiliated shareholder.   

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.  Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.  

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates used herein include those relating to management’s estimate of market value of contracts and real estate held in inventory.  It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those and other estimates used in preparing these financial statements and such differences could be material.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Long term investments – Investments not readily marketable are recorded at cost, when purchased. The investments in equity securities of privately held companies in which the Company holds less than 20% voting interest and on which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. In making this determination, the Company reviews several factors to determine whether the losses are other-than-temporary, including but not limited to: (i) the length of time the investment was in an unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value was less than cost, (iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Inventories -

Contracts receivable

Real estate contracts held in inventory for resale are carried at the lower of cost (outstanding principal adjusted for net discounts, deferred origination fees and capitalized acquisition costs) or fair value, determined on an aggregate basis by major type of receivable.  Interest on these receivables is included in interest income during the period held for sale. Until the contract is sold, contract origination fees received from borrowers are deferred and amortized into income over the established average life of related loan under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method.

The Company holds contracts in inventory pending sale. Typically, the Company attempts to sell contracts three to twelve months after acquisition. It is the policy of the Company not to hold any contracts for investment purposes.

Real Estate

Real estate owned represents property acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or purchase and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined via (1) appraisal provided by a certified appraiser, (2) BPO (Broker’s Pricing Opinion) provided by a qualified real estate broker, (3) site inspection by qualified management of the Company, or (4) a combination of all of the above.  Costs relating to the improvements of the property are capitalized. Holding costs are charged to expense as incurred. Subsequent to the foreclosure the property is advertised for rent or sale. Management makes the determination of whether to rent or to sell the property on a case-by-case basis. Real estate owned is not depreciated. Impairment changes are recognized when the fair value of the property falls below its carrying value.

Allowance for Losses

The Company evaluates the estimated fair value of its contracts and real estate held in inventory at the end of each financial reporting period and adjusts the carrying values to reflect decreases in fair market value below cost. Fair value is determined via (1) appraisal provided by a certified appraiser, (2) BPO (Broker’s Pricing Opinion) provided by a qualified real estate broker, (3) site inspection by qualified management of the Company, or (4) a combination of all of the above.  Currently the Company breaks its properties into the following categories: residential properties, commercial properties, and land.

Contract sales – Contracts are considered sold when the Company surrenders control over the transferred contract to the investors, with standard representations and warranties, and when the risks and rewards inherent in owning the contracts have been transferred to the buyer. At such time, the contract is removed from inventory and a gain or loss is recorded on the sale. Gains and losses on contract sales are determined based on the difference between the allocated cost basis of the assets sold and the proceeds. Losses related to recourse provisions, if any, are accrued as a liability at the time such additional losses are determined, and recorded as part of non-interest expense.

Earnings per share – Basic earnings per common share have been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented.  Diluted earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the number of shares that are currently outstanding plus the number of shares that would be issued pursuant to outstanding warrants, stock options and common stock issuable on conversion of preferred stock unless such shares are deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of stock options, convertible debt and outstanding securities, in periods of future income, would be as follows as of September 30, 2011:

Stock options	1,000,000
Convertible preferred stock	4,962,500
Convertible debt	625,000
Total possible dilution	6,587,500

Upon issuance of the preferred stock, the Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature of $194,833 was realized at December 31, 2010 and $705,840 at September 30, 2011. This beneficial conversion feature was recognized as a deemed dividend distribution to the preferred shareholders on the date of issuance because the preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder immediately upon issuance.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, 1,149,500 and 850,500 shares had been sold with proceeds of $1,149,500 and $850,500 received respectively. In total, 2,000,000 shares were sold for proceeds of $2,000,000.  On September 30, 2011 15,000 shares of convertible preferred shares were converted into 37,500 shares of common stock.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

When used in this Form 10-Q and in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words or phrases will likely result, management expects, or we expect, will continue, is anticipated, estimated or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. Actual results may differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Background

Genesis Financial, Inc. is engaged in the business of buying and selling seller financed real estate contracts ("contracts"), and originating commercial real estate hard money loans. We purchase contracts at a discount and hold them in inventory for a relatively short period to provide seasoning and value appreciation. After the holding period, we sell the contracts. We expect to derive operating revenues from resale’s of contracts at a profit, and from interest income derived from contracts during the holding period. We originate commercial real estate loans and sell the loans, or participations in those loans, to accredited private investors.  From time to time, we also consider other forms of cash flow instruments when warranted.

In the third quarter of 2008, management felt the real estate and financial markets were going to continue to decline, and made the decision that some major adjustments in the way the Company operated going forward was necessary.  The decision was made to reduce overhead expense by outsourcing the day-to-day operations of the Company, to focus on reducing the Company’s debt through a re-structuring of terms with our credit facilitators, to pursue the sale of Company assets, to continue acquisitions and originations only on deals that have been pre-sold, to focus on salvaging delinquent accounts through increased collection activity and workouts, and to increase the focus on maintenance and resale of repossessions.  This plan was implemented January 1, 2009.

Additional details about our business are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources and results of operations. You should read this analysis in conjunction with the financial statements and notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This section contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies and financial performance. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth under "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS.

Genesis Financial, Inc. will continue to develop our operations along the lines of our growth since inception, but will also concentrate on reducing overhead expense, and resolving delinquencies and repossession situations. We are not capitalized at a level that allows holding of significant amounts of contracts and loans for investment and as a result, we will continue to work toward short term inventory turnover. We are either holding these contracts in inventory, or selling them individually as opportunities arise. We expect that the number and dollar volume of all sales will continue to decline over the next twelve months, and longer, especially if financial market conditions continue to deteriorate. Until conditions improve, we will continue to focus our efforts towards developing relationships with investors who are interested in the individual contracts and loans, versus the pools. In order to achieve our targeted growth, we will require additional investors and capital. If additional investors and capital are not available, our growth plans will be delayed further and profitability will continue to be negatively impacted.

Over the past three years, we have seen a dramatic increase in delinquencies, resulting in increased costs of collection and litigation. The increase in delinquencies has also resulted in a dramatic increase in repossessions.  These repossessions tie up capital until the collateral properties can be resold, and require additional capital to maintain the properties during the holding period until a sale can be achieved.  In addition, if property values continue to decline, our ability to recoup our investment through a resale of the property will be adversely affected.  If real estate market values continue to decline, our growth plans will be delayed further and profitability will continue to be negatively impacted.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter ended September30, 2011 compared to quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues

Total revenues for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 were $19,102 compared to $13,631 for the same quarter September 30, 2010.   

We earned $19,102, and $13,631, respectively for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 of interest, processing and other income.

Net loss from operations was $31,663 and $709,192, respectively for the three months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010.  The decrease in loss for the period was due to the quarter ended September 30, 2010 included a large provision for losses.

Of the contracts held in inventory at September 30, 2011 and 2010 contracts with aggregate values of $474,238 and $662,661, respectively, were in payment default. We believe this decrease in defaults was due to write-offs of contracts in prior periods.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were $32,907 and $44,758 respectively. G&A primarily consists of management and professional fees for legal and auditing.  

Interest Expense

For the quarters ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense amounted to $17,858 and $31,814, respectively.

Interest expense was incurred on borrowings under lines of credit with RiverBank, an unaffiliated lender, and Coghlan Family Corporation, an affiliated company.

We are currently operating under a primary $250,000 line of credit with RiverBank, an unaffiliated lender, with a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate index rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1%, with a floor of six percent.  The line of credit also includes a one-half percent origination fee.  

We also are currently operating under a secondary $2,500,000 line of credit with Coghlan Family Corporation, an affiliated company, with a variable interest rate equal to the prime index rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal), plus 1%.  The line of credit also includes a one-half percent origination fee.

We consider the terms of the lines of credit to be acceptable. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the combined balances on the lines of credit were $1,732,107 and $2,131,463 respectively. Interest expense on the line of credit will fluctuate in future periods with inventory levels.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues

Total revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 were ($56,098) compared to $90,537 for the same period ended September 30, 2010.   The decrease was the result of contract sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 while there were no contract sales in the comparable period and the write-off of $120,497 of previously accrued interest income in 2011.

We earned ($56,098), and $88,685, respectively for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 of interest, processing and other income.

Net loss from operations was $191,513 and $710,250, respectively for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010.

13

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, were $108,719 and $164,600, respectively. G&A primarily consists of management and professional fees for legal and auditing.  The year over year increases and (decreases) for the fiscal nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were ($55,881) and $47,650, respectively. The primary reason for the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was the increase for the professional fees incurred in bringing the required audits and filings current during the nine month ended September 30, 2010; while the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were the professional fees incurred in bringing filings current.

Interest Expense

For the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense amounted to $61,887 and $101,960, respectively.

Loss Allowance

For the period ending September 30, 2011, the Company decreased the net provision for the losses due to sales of properties at the price in excess of the net recorded cost and the recovery of the property value on certain real estate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s principal sources of cash are from related party loans, unaffiliated party loans, funding agreements and common stock private placements. The Company anticipates that our primary uses of cash will need to be supplemented in order to meet the demands upon its current operations, and the need for additional funds to finance ongoing acquisitions of seller financed real estate receivables and originations of commercial real estate hard money loans, and the expense of the litigating of delinquent contracts and loans, and the maintenance and resale costs of repossessed properties.

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had cash available of $33,473 and $46,143 respectively, and at September 30, 2011 we had $57,893 available under the lines of credit with Riverbank.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had a promissory note with Riverbank, with a balance owing of $286,264, with a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate index (as published in the Wall Street journal) plus 1%, with a floor of 6%. The rate at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 6%. The line had a term of 14 months, and an origination fee of 1/2%, or $2,369.  The payments are due quarterly in the amount of $100,000, for the first four payments, and the last payment $95,164.   

On May 16, 2011, the promissory note was converted to a $250,000 line of credit on the same terms and conditions. At June 30, 2011 the balance owing is $192,107. The line has a term of 12 months, and an origination fee of 1/2%, or $1,250. The payments are due monthly on the 1^st on all accrued unpaid interest. The Riverbank line of credit is senior to the CFC line of credit, and is collateralized by the assets of Genesis.  The Riverbank line requires that the CFC line may not be paid down lower than the amount owing to Riverbank at any time during the term of the loan.  The line is payable on demand and is personally guaranteed by John R. and Wendy Coghlan, related parties of the Company.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had a $2,500,000 Line of Credit Agreement with the Coghlan Family Corporation, Inc. (“CFC”). CFC is an affiliated company controlled by a director and principal shareholder of the Company. At September 30, 2011the balance owing is $1,540,000. The interest rate on the line is a variable interest rate equal to the prime rate index (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1%.  The line has a term of 12 months and an origination fee of 1/2% or $12,500. The credit line is collateralized by all of Genesis’ assets but is subordinate to the RiverBank line of credit. The line of credit agreement requires that the Company maintain a debt to equity ration of no greater than 3.0. Borrowings under the line are personally guaranteed by Michael A. Kirk, the Secretary of the Company. Because of the economic conditions, CFC has agreed to waive the interest rate starting October 1, 2010 and has also agreed to waive the 3.0 debt to equity ratio requirement as well as the 12% default rate.

Our capital resources have occasionally been strained, but were adequate to fund our operations at a reasonable level during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report. We have paid close attention to our contract purchases and loans and maintained our funding requirements within our available resources. We were able to control our funding rate by adjusting our pricing, tightening our underwriting, and/or discontinuing certain product lines. The strains on our capital have been largely caused by increased litigation expenses, as well as increased repossession maintenance, holding and resale costs, coupled with lower resale values. We received  interest and principal reductions (typically monthly) on contracts and loans we held in inventory pending sale, and the interest rate spread between the cost of our lines of credit, or the participation

14

sales to private investors, and our weighted average contract yield provided operating capital which sustained our operations during the reported periods.  The origination fees generated from the commercial loans contributed additional operating capital. We would require an increase in our capital base, and an improvement in the real estate markets, in order to grow the company, and improve profitability.  Until such time as that happens, we expect to see our asset base continue to decline in both size and value, and capital resources to remain strained.

For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, our net cash flows from operating activities were ($68,480) and $734,274, respectively.  The reason for the decrease was operating costs in excess contract collections.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, 1,149,500 and 850,500 shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock were sold with proceeds of $1,149,500 and $850,500 received respectively. In total, 2,000,000 shares were sold for proceeds of $2,000,000.

In May 2010, Genesis Financial, Inc. completed a private placement of 1,050,000 shares of common stock at $.10 per share to accredited investors for a total price of $105,000.

During these periods our net cash provided “used” by financing activities was $284,498 and ($752,537), respectively.  The reason for the increase for the period ending September 30, 2011 was sales of preferred stock in a private placement, net of debt payments.  The reason for the decrease for the period ending September 30, 2010 was debt reductions in excess of a private placement of 1,050,000 shares of common stock at $.10 per share to accredited investors for a total price of $105,000.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, the Company invested $250,000 in AWG International, Inc and $50,000 in Flyback Energy, Inc..

Not applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30 , 2011 to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

15

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Chairman of the Board), does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization:

Genesis Financial, Inc. (“the Company” or “Genesis”) was incorporated in Washington State on January 24, 2002.  The Company is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing and selling real estate receivable contracts, initiating new real estate loans and periodically providing bridge capital funding.  These receivables contracts consist of real estate contracts and mortgage notes collateralized by primarily first position liens on residential and commercial real estate.  The receivables collateralized by real estate are typically non-conventional either because they are originated as a result of seller financing, or the underlying property is non-conventional.

The Company invests in receivables contracts using investor funds, equity funds and funds generated from external borrowings including a line of credit facility from an affiliated shareholder.  

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.  Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.  

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates used herein include those relating to management’s estimate of market value of contracts and real estate held in inventory.  It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those and other estimates used in preparing these financial statements and such differences could be material.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Long term investments – Investments not readily marketable are recorded at cost, when purchased. The investments in equity securities of privately held companies in which the Company holds less than 20% voting interest and on which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of its investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. In making this determination, the Company reviews several factors to determine whether the losses are other-than-temporary, including but not limited to: (i) the length of time the investment was in an unrealized loss position, (ii) the extent to which fair value was less than cost, (iii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and (iv) the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Inventories -

Contracts receivable

Real estate contracts held in inventory for resale are carried at the lower of cost (outstanding principal adjusted for net discounts, deferred origination fees and capitalized acquisition costs) or fair value, determined on an aggregate basis by major type of receivable.  Interest on these receivables is included in interest income during the period held for sale. Until the contract is sold, contract origination fees received from borrowers are deferred and amortized into income over the established average life of related loan under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method.

The Company holds contracts in inventory pending sale. Typically, the Company attempts to sell contracts three to twelve months after acquisition. It is the policy of the Company not to hold any contracts for investment purposes. 

Real Estate

Real estate owned represents property acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or purchase and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined via (1) appraisal provided by a certified appraiser, (2) BPO (Broker’s Pricing Opinion) provided by a qualified real estate broker, (3) site inspection by qualified management of the Company, or (4) a combination of all of the above.  Costs relating to the improvements of the property are capitalized. Holding costs are charged to expense as incurred. Subsequent to the foreclosure the property is advertised for rent or sale. Management makes the determination of whether to rent or to sell the property on a case-by-case basis. Real estate owned is not depreciated. Impairment changes are recognized when the fair value of the property falls below its carrying value.

Allowance for Losses

The Company evaluates the estimated fair value of its contracts and real estate held in inventory at the end of each financial reporting period and adjusts the carrying values to reflect decreases in fair market value below cost. Fair value is determined via (1) appraisal provided by a certified appraiser, (2) BPO (Broker’s Pricing Opinion) provided by a qualified real estate broker, (3) site inspection by qualified management of the Company, or (4) a combination of all of the above.  Currently the Company breaks its properties into the following categories: residential properties, commercial properties, and land.

Contract sales – Contracts are considered sold when the Company surrenders control over the transferred contract to the investors, with standard representations and warranties, and when the risks and rewards inherent in owning the contracts have been transferred to the buyer. At such time, the contract is removed from inventory and a gain or loss is recorded on the sale. Gains and losses on contract sales are determined based on the difference between the allocated cost basis of the assets sold and the proceeds. Losses related to recourse provisions, if any, are accrued as a liability at the time such additional losses are determined, and recorded as part of non-interest expense.

Earnings per share – Basic earnings per common share have been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented.  Diluted earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the number of shares that are currently outstanding plus the number of shares that would be issued pursuant to outstanding warrants, stock options and common stock issuable on conversion of preferred stock unless such shares are deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of stock options, convertible debt and outstanding securities, in periods of future income, would be as follows as of September 30, 2011:

Stock options	1,000,000
Convertible preferred stock	4,962,500
Convertible debt	625,000
Total possible dilution	6,587,500

The line had a term of 14 months, and an origination fee of 1/2%, or $2,369.  The payments are due quarterly in the amount of $100,000, for the first four payments, and the last payment will be $95,164.   

On May 16, 2011, the promissory note was converted to a $250,000 line of credit on the same terms and conditions. At September 30, 2011 the balance owing is $192,107.
