PART I
 
Item 1.  
Description of Business
 
Overview.

CS Financing Corporation ("Company") was incorporated on August 19, 2005, as a corporation under the laws of the state of Delaware for the purpose  of providing financing for mezzanine and other real estate transactions.  Mezzanine and other real estate loans that Company expects to participate in, are typically the portion of financing of a real estate transaction that is sandwiched between the senior debt and owners’ equity.   From the proceeds of the Company’s offering of 5 Year Notes- Series A (“Notes”), Company intends to, directly make, purchase and service mezzanine and other real estate loans, and to finance or invest in other companies who, in turn, are making mezzanine and other real estate loans.  Company’s real estate lending will primarily finance four types of activities: construction (residential and commercial), investment property and land development.  The term of the underlying loans will generally range from six to thirty-six months.

Company’s investment in other companies that make mezzanine or other real estate loans initially will be made  principally with Hennessey Financial, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Hennessey”).  Company may lend up to 40% of the proceeds from the sale of Notes to Hennessey.  Hennessey is a mezzanine real estate lender that has been in business since 1999.  Initially, Hennessey’s borrowers will primarily be affiliated companies of Hennessey. These affiliated companies are: Heritage Development, Inc. (real estate developer), Argus, LLC (construction), Omni Investment Properties, LLC (develops apartments and other real estate investment properties) and Assured Financial, LLC, (construction financing).   Hennessey focuses primarily on five major markets, which are: Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Indianapolis, Indiana; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Kansas/Missouri; and Ft. Myers/Sarasota, Florida.  As of December 31, 2007, Company has acquired $2,500,000 of face value unsecured Notes from Assured Financial LLC (“Assured Financial) an affiliated company of Hennessey.  Assured Financial is a primary lender for residential building.  This investment in Assured Financial notes is approximately 37% of the net proceeds of the Notes sold todate

The remaining 60% or more of the proceeds from the sale of Notes will be used in direct lending or through other companies who are mezzanine or other real estate lenders.  These remaining real estate lending activities will be conducted in a number of different states and Company expects California to generate substantial real estate lending opportunities.
 
In the Company’s intended markets, there are a number of competitors that specialize in providing secured mezzanine financing to the real estate industry.  The non-mezzanine real estate finance market is also highly competitive, particularly with senior financing alternatives provided by numerous banks, funds and institutions.  Since the Company does not intend to provide senior financing, it is not competing with these senior financing sources.  The Company’s direct competitors in the mezzanine/equity financing  and second deeds of trust are private individuals, real estate equity and venture funds, and some specialty finance companies. This competition may intensify should some major national or international finance companies direct their financing activity into the Company’s intended business.
 
 
Description of Business – Factors that may affect Future results of Operations.
 
 
Company has a limited operating history, and Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected should some or all of the Risk Factors described below occur.  The Risk Factors described below are not the only ones facing Company’s business, and additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of, or focused on, or that management currently deems immaterial, may also impair Company’s business operations.
 
Company has limited operating history.
 
 Company has only begun its operations. Company has limited prior operating history from which to evaluate Company’s success, or Company’s likelihood of success, in operating our business, generating any revenues or achieving profitability. As of December 31, 2007, Company has sold $6,830,000 of  Notes, and has lent $2,500,000 for real estate activities.  To date Company’s sales of Notes have been limited.  This business is highly competitive. Company’s business model may not be successful and Company may never attain profitability. Company anticipates that it will incur losses in the near future.
 
2

If Company is unable to pay any of its creditors, Company may have to liquidate its assets for less than fair market value.
 
Company may borrow money from other parties to raise cash for Company’s operations. If Company is  unable to repay any such indebtedness when due, and Company is unable to obtain additional financing or other sources of capital, Company may be forced to sell off its loan receivables and other assets at a discounted price or Company might be forced to cease operations.
 
An increase in market interest rates may result in a reduction in Company’s liquidity and profitability.
 
Sustained, significant increases in interest rates could unfavorably impact Company’s liquidity and profitability by reducing the interest rate spread between the rate of interest Company receives on loans and interest rates Company must pay under the Notes and any bank debt Company incurs.  Any reduction in Company’s liquidity and profitability could materially impact Company’s financial condition.
 
Company’s Notes are not insured or guaranteed by any third party and repayment is dependent on Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow.
 
Company’s publicly registered Notes are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, any governmental agency or any other public or private entity as are certificates of deposit or other accounts offered by banks, savings and loan associations or credit unions. Company’s failure to effectively manage its business to generate sufficient cash flow, including cash flow from Company’s financing activities, could materially impact the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Company’s operations are not subject to regulatory requirements designed to protect investors and an investment in the Notes will not enjoy the same regulatory protection received by investors in other regulated businesses.

Company’s operations are not subject to the stringent regulatory requirements imposed upon the operations of commercial banks, savings banks and thrift institutions and are not subject to periodic compliance examinations by federal banking regulators. Therefore, an investment in Company’s Notes does not have the regulatory protections that the holder of a demand account or a certificate of deposit at a bank does. To the extent that Company does not successfully operate its business, Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially impacted.

Company’s lack of a significant line of credit could affect its liquidity.
 
Company is  operating without a  line of credit. Without a line of credit, Company will be more dependent on the proceeds from the Notes for its continued liquidity. If the sale of the Notes does not increase substantially or is significantly curtailed for any reason, Company’s ability to meet its obligations ( including its obligations with respect to the Notes) could be materially and adversely affected.

If Company cannot collect all its finance receivables, Company’s financial condition will be materially impaired.
 
Company’s liquidity is dependent on, among other things, the collection of its receivables or the sale or redemption of its investments. Company will continually monitor the delinquency status of its receivables and promptly institute collection activities on delinquent accounts but these efforts may ultimately prove unsuccessful. Collections of Company’s receivables are also likely to be affected by economic conditions in the real estate market. Furthermore, since Company may not perfect its security interest in collateral for loans, Company may not be able to recover the full amount of outstanding receivables by resorting to the sale of collateral or receipt of insurance proceeds. Any failure by Company, for any reason, to collect nearly all its finance receivables will substantially impair Company’s financial condition.
 
Additional competition may decrease Company’s liquidity and profitability, which would adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
 
Company competes for business with a number of large national companies and banks that have substantially greater resources, lower cost of funds, and a more established market presence than Company has. If these companies increase their marketing efforts to include Company’s market niche of borrowers, or if additional competitors enter our markets, Company may be forced to reduce its interest rates and fees in order to maintain or expand its market share. Any reduction in Company’s interest rates or fees could have an adverse impact on Company’s liquidity and profitability and its financial condition and results of operations.

3

Company may not sell enough Notes to successfully pursue its business model, which would result in a material impact upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
Company is currently offering its Notes through several registered broker-dealers but without an underwriter. While Company intends to sell up to $100,000,000 in principal amount of Notes, there is no minimum amount of proceeds that must be received from the sale of Notes in order to accept proceeds from Notes actually sold. If Company does not sell an adequate amount of Notes, Company will be unable to successfully pursue its business model and its financial condition and results of operations will be impaired.  As of December 31, 2007, Company has sold $6,830,000 of  Notes, and has lent $2,500,000  for real estate activities.  To date Company’s sales of Notes have been limited.
 
Conflicts of interest may reduce Company’s profitability.
 
Timothy R. Redpath and Michael W. Bozora control a majority of the outstanding membership interests of Capital Solutions Associates, LLC which is the general partner of Capital Solutions Management, LP, which, in turn, owns all of the outstanding shares of Company’s voting capital stock. Accordingly, Messrs. Redpath and Bozora will be able to exercise significant control over Company’s affairs, including, without limitation, the election of officers and directors, operational decisions and decisions regarding the Notes. In addition, there are no contractual or regulatory limits on the amounts Company can pay to Messrs.  Redpath and Bozora or other affiliates. Mr. Redpath is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and Mr. Bozora is the Company’s President. See “Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”
 
Company’s ability to meet its obligations will be dependent on Hennessey’s credit decisions, solvency and willingness to do business with Company.
 
Notwithstanding that Company intends to pursue its investment objective by lending money to numerous parties, Company may lend up to 40% of the proceeds of Company’s offering of 5 Year Notes to Hennessey.  Accordingly, Company will be dependent upon Hennessey with respect to the investment and reinvestment of its assets and to service the transactions that underlie their mezzanine real estate financing. As a result, Company’s success will depend on the abilities of Hennessey to initiate eligible financing transactions and service the same. In addition, if Hennessey procures alternative financing for its transactions, Company may be unable to achieve its investment objectives. The bankruptcy of Hennessey, the failure of Hennessey to service its mezzanine real estate loans, the cessation of loan originations by Hennessey or the inability of Hennessey to initiate sufficient transactions to fully use all Company’s assets would have a negative impact on Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  As of December 31, 2007 Company has lent Hennessey approximately 37% of the proceeds of the sale of Notes.
 
A bankruptcy by Hennessey could have an adverse impact on the timing and amounts of payments made with respect to Company’s loan to Hennessey. In addition, creditors of Hennessey or a trustee in a bankruptcy proceeding could attempt to consolidate the assets and liabilities of Hennessey and claim Company’s collateral is part of the bankruptcy estate. In such case, Company could experience significant delays in payment of principal or interest on the Notes.
 
Company’s dependence on a small number of parties will make Company’s investment portfolio susceptible to high levels of default.
 
Company’s investment strategy is to make mezzanine real estate loans and invest in companies making mezzanine real estate loans. The eligibility requirements for Company’s investment portfolio limit the percentage of Company’s assets that are invested in mezzanine real loans or investments with a single party to 40%. Accordingly, Company’s investment portfolio may ultimately be dependent upon the credit of a small number of parties. If Hennessey, or its affiliates, were to become insolvent or were for any reason to default on a loan, such event would have a greater impact on Company than would be the case if Company’s eligibility requirements included smaller limits on credit concentration. A default by Hennessey would have a material adverse effect on Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
4

Company’s borrowers’ credit enhancements may lapse or be insufficient to collateralize the borrowers’ obligations.
 
Company may require Hennessey, and its other borrowers, to purchase and pledge to Company irrevocable letters of credit that equal 5% of the unamortized principal balance of any loan made by Company to them. The irrevocable letters of credit are intended to act as additional collateral to ensure that Hennessey, or other borrowers, make interest payments to Company. However, Company does not intend to require Hennessey, or any other borrower, to purchase and pledge to Company irrevocable letters of credit that exactly match the maturity of each loan. Rather, the borrowers will be required to renew any irrevocable letters of credit as they approach expiration. Thus, there is a risk that any irrevocable letters of credit may have expiration dates that are different from the maturity dates of the loans. Were Hennessey, or another borrower, to default on paying interest on its loan to Company, and the borrowers were unable to renew the irrevocable letters of credit, it is possible that the aggregate amount of the irrevocable letters of credit would be insufficient to cover the accrued interest on the loan. If Hennessey, or another borrower, does not pay Company, Company may not be able to meet its obligations and may incur a loss.
 
A default by Company’s borrowers will increase the risk that Company may not generate sufficient cash to meet its obligations, including obligations under the Notes.
 
If Hennessey or another borrower were to default on Company’s loan, Company would bear the risk on the underlying real estate transaction that was pledged to Company as collateral. If the ultimate borrower in the real estate transaction fails to perform its obligations for any reason, Company may suffer a loss that impacts its ability to meet its obligations, including those obligations under the Notes.
 
Failure to perfect Company’s security interest will increase the risk that Company may suffer a loss.
 
Company may, or may not, obtain mortgages and/or other collateral from its borrowers.  If Company does obtain mortgages and/or other collateral, Company must obtain mortgages and/or financing statements from the borrower, and these must be filed by Company’s borrowers in connection with each transaction pledged as collateral to Company for Company’s loan to its borrowers. In the event a mortgage or financing statement is not filed with respect to a transaction or if a security interest in the assets transferred or pledged is not perfected under local real estate law or the Uniform Commercial Code, Company’s interest in such assets would be unperfected and subject to the rights of other creditors. In addition, Company will not have a priority lien or mortgage on the assets or real estate collateral, and to protect its collateral position, and Company may have to pay off other senior lien holders. As a result, it is possible that another creditor could file a mortgage or financing statement covering the assets subject to Company’s interest despite Company’s borrowers’ (or its borrowers) representation as to the absence or priority of other liens. In such event, the other creditor could have priority over Company with respect to such assets and Company may incur a loss.

Company’s lack of assets will increase the risk that Company may not be able to meet its obligations (including making interest payments on the Notes).
 
Other than assets purchased with the proceeds from the sale of Notes, Company does not have any other assets or capital reserves from which to meet its obligations. A default by Hennessey, or one of Company’s other borrowers, will substantially impair Company’s financial condition and results of operations and its ability to meet its obligations (including its ability to repay the Notes).
 
The loss of key personnel will impair Company’s ability to generate sufficient investment income to meet its obligations.
 
Company will rely on key personnel in Company, Hennessey and other borrowers for advice on underwriting and originating mezzanine real estate financing transactions. Company’s key personnel would include both Messrs. Redpath and Bozora and Hennessey’s key personnel would include Messrs. John Essen and Jeffrey Gardner. If such key personnel were unable to perform their duties due to death, disability, termination of employment or other causes, it would be difficult for Company to make credit decisions and originate investments until new personnel were identified and retained. No key man life insurance policies have been procured.
 
5

Foreclosure by a priority lien holder may result in the loss of Company’s investment and impair Company’s financial condition.
 
Company’s investments are generally subordinate to one or more senior secured creditors.  In such cases, if the real estate owner defaults, the senior secured lenders will have the right to foreclose on the collateral. If the market value of the collateral falls to an amount which would only provide full repayment to the senior secured lender, Company’s borrowers will incur a loss and Company may lose some or all of its investment if Company’s borrowers are unable to pay Company from other assets. In addition, to protect Company’s collateral in the event a senior secured lender forecloses on real estate where Company has a subordinated mortgage, Company will have to redeem the senior secured lender’s position. Company, or its borrowers, may not have assets, or access to assets, sufficient for such redemption.
 
A decline in the real estate development and construction markets will impair Company’s ability to make investments.
 
The business of developing and selling commercial and residential real estate properties is subject to a number of risks. The real estate development and construction industry is cyclical and is affected by consumer confidence levels, prevailing economic conditions and interest rates. A variety of factors affect the demand for new real estate construction and development, including, without limitation, economic cycles, competitive pressures, the availability and cost of labor and materials, changes in costs associated with real estate ownership, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends and the availability of mortgage financing. Because the borrowers on the underlying real estate transactions engage in commercial and residential real estate development and construction, Company is directly and materially affected by the same risks inherent to the commercial and residential real estate development and construction industries. Any reduction in the cash flows, income of or financial condition of commercial and residential real estate development and construction companies by reason of any of the aforementioned factors or others may significantly impair their ability to pay Hennessey, Company’s other borrowers, or Company itself, which would increase the possibility that delinquencies would occur and that Company could incur losses.
 
A decline in real estate value will impair the collateral for Company’s investments thereby increasing the likelihood that Company would suffer a loss and be unable to meet its obligations.
 
Declining real estate values will increase the probability of a loss in the event of a default on the underlying real estate transaction. As a result, the value of the real estate or other collateral securing Company’s loans may not, at any given time, be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on Company’s loans. If the primary and third party borrowers were to default, and the collateral was insufficient, Company would suffer a loss and Company may not be able to meet its obligations.

Company’s focus on credit-impaired borrowers will make Company’s investment portfolio susceptible to high levels of default.
 
Company may lend money to, or accept loans as collateral from borrowers that are either unable or unwilling to obtain financing from traditional sources, such as commercial banks. Loans made to such individuals or entities may entail a higher risk of delinquency and loss. Higher than anticipated delinquencies, foreclosures or losses may result in Company’s inability to meet its obligations.

The impact of certain environmental laws and regulations may result in the collateral for Company’s investments losing value and impacting Company’s financial condition.
 
Company’s ability to foreclose on the real estate collateralizing Company’s loans may be limited by environmental laws. These laws pertain primarily to commercial properties that require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases on the property. In addition, the owner or operator of such real property may be liable to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage, personal injury, and investigation and cleanup costs relating to the contaminated property. It is possible that environmental contamination of land taken by Company as collateral would not be discovered until after the loan was made. In addition to federal or state regulations, lenders, owners or former owners of a contaminated site may be subject to state, local and common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. Any loss in collateral value may result in Company’s inability to meet its obligations.
 
6

Company’s practice of deferring principal payments on land development loans until the senior lender has been paid off may result in losing some of the value of Company’s collateral and Company’s inability to meet its obligations.
 
Company anticipates deferring principal payment on land development loans until after the senior lender has been paid off. Rather than receive small payments on each lot sale, Company will be deferring these payments so the loans have a larger principal balance earning interest and less senior debt ahead of Company’s loans. Once the senior lender has been paid off, Company would then receive accelerated repayments and ultimately receive full repayment on the loan before the borrower can withdraw any significant profits. However, by deferring principal payments to the end of a project, Company may significantly increase its risk. At the end of a project, most of the collateral will have already been sold and the proceeds used to repay the senior lender. That means there is less collateral available to secure Company’s loan.
 
Dependence upon Hennessey Financial.
 
 
Company may lend up to 40% of the proceeds of Company’s offering of 5 Year Notes to Hennessey.  Accordingly, Company will be dependent upon Hennessey with respect to the investment and reinvestment of up to 40% of Company’s assets and to service the transactions that underlie Hennessey’s mezzanine real estate financing. As a result, Company’s success will depend on the abilities of Hennessey to initiate eligible financing transactions and service the same. In addition, if Hennessey procures alternative financing for its transactions, Company may be unable to achieve its investment objectives. The bankruptcy of Hennessey, the failure of Hennessey to service its mezzanine real estate loans, the cessation of loan originations by Hennessey or the inability of Hennessey to initiate sufficient transactions to fully use all Company’s assets would have a negative impact on Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  As of December 31, 2007 Company has lent Hennessey approximately 37% of the proceeds of the sale of Notes.
 
 
Regulatory Matters.
 
Company’s operations may be subject to regulation by federal authorities and state banking, finance, consumer protection and insurance authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions on Company’s operations which, among other things, require that Company obtain and maintain certain licenses and qualifications, and limit the interest rates, fees and other charges Company may impose in Company’s finance business. Although Company believes it are in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws, rules and regulations, any change in such laws, or in the interpretations thereof, will make Company’s compliance with such laws more difficult or expensive.
 
If Company lends directly to developers, contractors or individuals, Company may be required, in certain states, to obtain lending licenses.  For example, in California, Company must obtain a lenders license under California’s Lender License Act.  Company has submitted an application to obtain such a license, and will submit license application in other states, where required, and where Company intends to lend directly.
 
 
Environmental Laws.
 
 
Company’s need to comply with environmental laws may arise when Company forecloses on property.  Environmental laws pertain primarily to commercial properties that require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases on the property. In addition, the owner or operator of such real property may be liable to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage, personal injury, and investigation and cleanup costs relating to the contaminated property. It is possible that environmental contamination of land taken by Company as collateral would not be discovered until after the loan was made. In addition to federal or state regulations, lenders, owners or former owners of a contaminated site may be subject to state, local and common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property.   See also “Risk Factors that may affect future Results of Operations” above.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company has three total employees who work full time for the Company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 


Some of the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, including, but not limited to this Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, contain forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects that are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “would”  or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from the outcomes and results discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. All such statements are therefore qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors specifically addressed in the section entitled “Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. New risks can arise and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can management assess the impact of all such risks to the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, other than as required by law.
 
 
Overview
 
CS Financing Corporation (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 19, 2005 for the purpose of financing mezzanine real estate transactions.  We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital Solutions Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent Company”).  Mezzanine real estate loans are typically the portion of financing of a real estate transaction that is sandwiched between the senior debt and the owner’s equity.  Our primary business is making, purchasing and servicing mezzanine loans and financing or investing in companies making mezzanine real estate loans.  To make mezzanine loans, we use proceeds of the Company’s offering of Five Year Notes – Series A (the “Notes”) which commenced on November 22, 2006 and which is continuing (the “Offering”).  Our mezzanine real estate lending will primarily finance four types of activities:  residential construction, commercial construction, investment property and land development.  The term of the underlying loans will generally range from six to sixty months.

We expect to lend up to 40% of the net proceeds of the Offering to Hennessey Financial, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Hennessey”).  Hennessey is a mezzanine real estate lender that has been in business since 1999. We expect to lend the remaining 60% of the net proceeds of the Offering to other lenders and borrowers on terms similar to the loan terms we have with Hennessey.  We have had and continue to be, from time to time,  in discussions with potential borrowers of our funds. Through two years of research, development and networking of both borrowers and lenders, we have developed a potential group of borrowers and other mezzanine lenders.  We are in the process of performing due diligence on these potential borrowers.  Several of them have indicated an interest in our offerings and are eligible for consideration.    We anticipate continued demand for our mezzanine real estate financing and do not foresee a lack of potential financing prospects.

On April 30, 2007 we completed our first transaction: the purchase of a $2,000,000 principal amount mezzanine (subordinated) note from a private investor. The total investment by the Company in this transaction was approximately $2,024,657, which amount included approximately $24,657 of accrued interest under the note. The note obligor, Assured Financial, LLC (“Assured”) is a Minnesota based, senior (1st position) real estate construction and development lender and is an affiliated company of Hennessey.  On June 30, 2007 the Company acquired an additional promissory note in the amount of $466,000 issued by Assured, and on September 5, 2007, we acquired the remaining portion of $34,000, principal amount,  of such promissory note, and as a result of these two transactions we now hold a note in the principal amount of $500,000.  All notes mature on September 1, 2009 and are subject to an interest rate of 15%. Interest is payable monthly. We anticipate that additional investments with Assured will be available to the Company in the future.

As of March 31, 2008 we have now invested 36% of the sale proceeds from the Notes in Hennessey and its affiliated companies.

The Company believes that the slowing real estate market has deterred competition for mezzanine loans, thereby providing an opportunity for the Company to make loans with a greater yield, better covenants and at a loan-to-value ratio that will increase when the real estate market recovers.  Likewise, we believe that the primary reason a borrower might be considered credit impaired today is that the real estate market is soft; when the market improves, we anticipate that the credit quality of such borrowers will also increase.

9

On November 22, 2006, the Company received notice of the effectiveness of its registration statement on Form S-1 registering the Offering of the Notes.  Since then we have secured sales-distribution agreements with certain NASD broker-dealer members for the distribution of Notes in the Offering.  We have sold, as of December 31, 2007, $6,830,000 of Notes.  These sales are below our expectations primarily because our difficulty in finding distributing brokers.   We are seeking FINRA’s approval to allow Capital Solutions Distributors LLC (“CSD”) a registered broker and an affiliate of Company, to distribute the Notes.  Whether FINRA will approve Company’s pending application is uncertain, but if approved, management believes that CSD can be a more effective distributor of the Notes.

The Notes are registered, under the applicable state Blue Sky laws in 11 states..  We have pending Blue Sky registration applications pending in many all of the remaining states.  However, we expect to focus our selling efforts, in the future, in California, Arizona, and Florida and may relinquish our registrations in the other states and withdraw pending applications in the remaining states.

Finally, we have finalized custodial services from US Bancorp to further strengthen the operations and administration of our business.

We have had net losses since inception.  We had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2007 of approximately $1,447,248 which reflects expenditures necessary for the start of our operations and professional fees and services.  At this time, we believe our ability to continue as a going concern depends in large part on our ability to raise sufficient capital through the sale of Notes which in turn will enable us to make mezzanine real estate loans and receive revenue from our lending activity.  If we are unable to raise such additional capital and make loans, we may be forced to discontinue our business.

Liquidity

The primary source of our liquidity will come from interest and fees earned on our loans and investments.  In most cases, we will receive monthly interest payments on our loans and investments.  If we are able to sell sufficient amounts of Notes in the Offering and use the net proceeds to make loans and investments and purchase assets, these assets could be pledged as collateral for an operating line of credit.  We have sold $6,830,000 of the Notes as of December 31, 2007, and have registered the issuance of up to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes.

Capital Resources and Results of Operation

We currently do not have any considerable operations or results of operations to discuss.  Our current capital resources have been provided by the proceeds of the Offering and contributions from Capital Solutions Management, LP, the parent of Company.  To date, our material commitments include only the professional fees necessary to conduct the Offering and to meet our SEC reporting obligations.  Such fees have been paid current on an ongoing basis and future expenses will be paid from earnings or from proceeds of the Offering.  We do not intend to reimburse Capital Solutions Management LP for any expenses paid on our behalf to date, nor do we intend to borrow money from Capital Solutions Management LP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(c)(2) of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
Directors and Officers Insurance
 
On November 15, 2006, and November 15, 2007, the Company renewed an insurance policy which covers its officers and directors in the event they are sued in connection with the performance of their duties as they relate to the company.  The premiums for such insurance policy have been financed by a third party.

Employees

The Company expects to hire up to an additional four employees during calendar year 2008.

Item 7.  
Financial Statements.
 
 
The financial statements and the independent auditor’s report required to be filed hereunder are listed in the Index to Financial Statements included in Item 13 of this Form 10-KSB and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
 
Item 8.  
Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
 
None.
 
 
                  Item 8A.Controls and Procedures.


 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  This evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to satisfy our disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act because of the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting identified and discussed below.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007 relating to procedures in accounting for debt placement costs.  The Company had capitalized as debt placement costs legal fees associated with SEC filings.  In addition, debt placement costs were being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the Notes – Series A.  To address this weakness, we performed additional analysis of amounts recorded as debt placement costs and established procedures to expense debt placement costs utilizing the effective interest method.  Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  In addition we are working to identify and implement corrective actions, where required, to improve our internal controls, including a specific review of the application of those procedures that were not functioning properly at December 31, 2007 that resulted in the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting noted above.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
 
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.Other than the changes discussed above relating to procedures in accounting for debt placement costs, there were no changes in our internal controls that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Certain Relationships.
 
 
Capital Solutions Management, LP.     As of March 2, 2008, Capital Solutions Management, L.P. (“CSM”) owns 237,709 shares (which represents  100% of the outstanding common stock of Company) and is beneficially owned by Messrs. Redpath and Bozora who each control 50% of Capital Solutions Associates, LLC which is the sole general partner and has sole control of Capital Solutions Management, L.P.    Capital Solutions Associates, LLC also owns 75% of the Limited Partnership interests in Capital Solutions Management, L.P.    Charles T. Thompson owns 10% of the Limited Partnership interest in Capital Solutions Management, L.P.    The other 15% of the Limited Partnership interests in Capital Solutions Management, L.P. are owned by 12 individual investors with no investor owning more than 3%.  
 
 
 
 
Hennessey Financial Monthly Income Fund, LP (“HFMIF”).   Messrs Bozora and Redpath, either individually or through companies they control, are affiliated with HFMIF as managers and investment managers, as well as distributors. Hennessey is also engaged in mezzanine real estate financing.  There are a number of potential conflicts of interests.  As the manager and investment manager of HFMIF, the affiliated companies of the officers and directors of Company may offer real estate opportunities to HFMIF which are not offered to Company – as of December 5, 2007, the affiliated and parent of Company, Capital Solutions Management, LP , has resigned as manager and investment manager of HFMIF.   As the distributor of HFMIF securities, an affiliated company (Capital Solutions Distributors, LLC) of the officers and directors of Company may offer prospective investors the opportunity to invest in HFMIF rather than the Notes.   In addition, if HFMIF terminated any or all of its relationship with the affiliated companies of Company’s officers and directors, such a termination would likely have a negative financial impact on the affiliated companies and this negative financial impact may impair Company’s officers’ and directors’ ability to make independent decisions on behalf of Company. Company has also entered into an Intercreditor Agreement with HFMIF which governs our collections rights against Hennessey and collateral it may hold.
 
 
 
 
Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel.  Messrs Mark Williams, the company’s chief financial officer, and Richard Dobson, General Counsel, also serve as financial and legal advisors, respectively, to, among others, Company’s parent company, Company’s parent company’s general partner and Company’s parent company’s other subsidiaries.  In circumstances where Company needs financial and accounting  or legal advice on inter-company transactions, Company’s chief financial officer  and /or general counsel will have a potential conflicts of interest.

Related Transactions.
 
 
Theodore Ammiro and Andrew Reglia, both directors of the Company, perform consulting services to Company under a consulting agreement, dated November 2007, between Real Equity Solutions, Inc. (“RES”) and Company.  As of January 31, 2008 $23,943 has been paid under the consulting relationship.  The Board has determined, under its standard for “independence” which is Rule 303A.02 of the NYSE, that the consulting relationship among the Company, RES, and Messrs Ammiro and Regali is not a “material relationship” and that Messrs Ammiro and Reglia continue to be “independent” Directors.
 
In February 2008 Company agreed to provide a loan facility to Real Equity Solutions, Inc. (“RES”) a California corporation controlled by Mr Ammiro a Director of Company.  The loan facility is used to fund RES’ commercial real estate financing operations, which  are typically secured by a 2nd deed of trust on the property.  The first funded transaction was to loan money for the completion of a property in Marin County CA. Company’s  loan to RES is secured by the deed of trust on the property.

Company has , as of December 31, 2007,  acquired $2,500,000 of face value unsecured Notes from Assured Financial LLC (“Assured Financial) which is an affiliated company of Hennessey.

Director “Independence”.

 Company’s Board of Directors has adopted NYSE Rule 303A.02 as its standard of “independence”.  A Director will not be considered "independent" under this standard unless the Board affirmatively determines that the Director has no material relationship with Company. In making this determination, the Board will broadly consider all facts and circumstances the Board deems relevant from the standpoint of the Director and from that of persons or organizations with which the Director has an affiliation. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships among others.

Under this standard , a Director is not independent if:

(i)        The director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the Company, or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer, of the Company.

(ii)       The director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $100,000 in direct compensation from the Company, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service).

(iii)       (A) The director or an immediate family member is a current partner of a firm that is the Company's internal or external auditor; (B) the director is a current employee of such a firm; (C) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and who participates in the firm's audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice; or (D) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three years (but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the Company's audit within that time.

(iv)      The director or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the Company's present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that other company's compensation committee.

(v)       The director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive officer, of another company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million, or 2% of such other company's consolidated gross revenues.

The Board of Directors has determined that all Directors of Company, except Messrs Bozora and Redpath, are “independent” Directors.  The Board has determined specifically that the consulting arrangement between Company and Messrs Ammiro and Reglia is not a “material relationship” which would disqualify them from being “independent”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
  For Year Ending December 31, 2007



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
CS Financing Corporation
Corte Madera, California

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CS Financing Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 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 control 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CS Financing Corporation as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its activities and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
For Year Ending December 31, 2006


To the Board of Directors
CS Financing Corporation
Corte Madera, California


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CS Financing Corporation as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.  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 audit 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.  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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CS Financing Corporation as of  December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and requires additional working capital and the offering up to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of five year Notes to support future operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

CS Financing Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on August 19, 2005.  The Company makes, purchases and services mezzanine loans and invests in financing mezzanine real estate lenders making such mezzanine real estate loans in the United States from proceeds of the Company’s offering of Five Year Notes-Series A (the “Notes Offering”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash in high quality financial institutions. These deposits are subject to custodial credit risk.  As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $2,288,784 and $27,271 of the company’s bank balances of $2,488,784 and $127,271, respectively were uninsured and uncollateralized and exposed to custodial credit risk.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to seven years.  Amortization on capital leases is over the lesser of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

    Investments

Investments at December 31, 2007 consisted of notes receivable with a maturity date of more than 12 months beyond the balance sheet date.  Interest income is recorded as earned.  The company analyzes the notes on quarterly basis for impairment based on the assets and collateral value held on the borrowing company.  There were no investments in notes receivable as of December 31, 2006.

Debt Placement Costs

Costs incurred in connection with the Company's Notes Offering will be deferred until the offering proceeds are received and then amortized over the term of the related financing agreements using the effective interest method.  Debt placement costs were $862,109 and $396,525, net of accumulated amortization of $37,486 and $0 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts for all financial instruments approximate fair value.  The carrying amounts for debt placement costs, loan origination costs, investments in notes receivable, and note payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The fair value of bonds payable approximates the carrying value because the terms are equivalent to borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.

     Loan Origination Costs

Loan origination costs were incurred by the Company in anticipation of loans that the Company intends to offer.  These costs will be amortized over the life of the anticipated loan as a reduction of the loan's yield.  Loan origination costs were $17,333 and $20,000, net of accumulated amortization of $2,667 and $0 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
   Start-Up Costs
 
Costs of start-up activities are expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities."
 
 
F-8


 
 NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

   Stock Based Compensation

The Company applies SFAS No. 123(R) “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for all compensation related to stock, options, or warrants.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of compensation cost using a fair value based method whereby compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees.  Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that realization of the related deferred tax asset is not assured.
 

Management's 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.

   Revenue Recognition

Interest is recognized as revenue when earned according to the terms of the loans, using the effective interest method. Company does not accrue interest income on loans once they are determined to be impaired. A loan is impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable that Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when the payment of interest is 90 days past due. Cash receipts will be allocated to interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated by the terms of the loan as principal reduction or when management does not believe Company's investment in the loan is fully recoverable.

Net Loss Per Common Share
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding computed in accordance with the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the effect of outstanding options is antidilutive due to the net loss for all period presented.

NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

    New Accounting Pronouncements

 
In September 2006, FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement (FAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements.  The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for the Company on or before January 1, 2008.  The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption with a limited form of retrospective application to certain financial instruments that will result in cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on its financial statements.
 

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  This interpretation requires the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The provisions of FIN 48 were effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.  The Company adopted this statement without significant financial impact in the first quarter of 2007.
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires an entity to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income-statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The guidance is applicable for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company currently does not believe that SAB 108 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
The Company has elected to reclassify the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 for comparative purposes. The reclassifications specifically relates to the classification of current assets and liabilities.  The reclassification did not impact previously report net loss or stockholder's equity

Interest is payable monthly with the first interest payment commencing thirty (30) days from issuance.
 
The Notes are not listed on any securities exchange and there is no public trading market for the Notes.  The Company may redeem the Notes after two years and upon at least 30 days written notice. The Notes are general

Capital Solutions converted advances of $77,736 in 2005 into common stock at $1.00 per share, and $319,945 in 2006 into common stock at $2.00 per share.

NOTE 8 – Income Taxes

At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,300,000 for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively, that are available to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in the year 2025.  No benefit has been recorded for any loss carryforwards, and utilization in future years may be limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code if significant ownership changes have occurred or from future tax legislation changes.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the net deferred taxes to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The increase in the valuation allowance was $85,416  for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The benefit for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to loss before income taxes as follows:
