The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
SHEARSON FINANCIAL NETWORK, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
(1) | Basis of Presentation: |
The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2006 included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2005 audited financial statements and notes thereto.
Since inception through September 30, 2006, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations of approximately $24,381,462. A substantial portion of the Company’s cumulative net loss is attributable to non-cash operating expenses and the Company is showing a net profit for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, however until the Company can sustain its profitability, a substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(2) | Principles of Consolidation: |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shearson Financial Network, Real Properties Technologies, Allstate Funding Corp. and its subsidiary Shearson Home Loans. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2006.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the past fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A.
Earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during both reporting periods.
(4) | Stock Issued for Services: |
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counter party’s performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the amounts that have been charged against income for those services were approximately $5,229,926.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
The origin of Goodwill is from the purchase of:
Las Vegas Mortgage | | $ | 1,372,916 | |
Real Properties Technologies | | | 9,152,757 | |
eHome Credit | | | 2,514,124 | |
Allstate Funding Corp. | | | 1,229,482 | |
Total | | $ | 14,269,279 | |
The goodwill arose out of the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value of assets received.
In June of 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Las Vegas Mortgage in exchange for $100,000 in cash and $1,361,726 of the Company’s stock. The purpose of the transaction was to expand its interests in the Las Vegas market. Las Vegas Mortgage had branches and relationships in the Las Vegas Area. The Company had a call center in Las Vegas and wanted to get into the Mortgage Business in Las Vegas. This acquisition allowed the Company to have an immediate large position in Las Vegas.
On June 5, 2006 the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Real Property Technologies ("RPT"), a New York corporation, for 100,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock valued at approximately $40,000,000. The acquisition of RPT diversifies our mortgage operations and our mortgage banking capability via its extensive database of real property information.
On June 9, 2006, we agreed to acquire certain assets and defined liabilities of eHome CreditCorp. (“EHC”), a New York corporation, for 7,500 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock valued at approximately $3,000,000. The acquisition of EHC diversifies our mortgage operations and our mortgage banking capability and annualized it adds approximately $14 million per year in revenue to our mortgage group.
On July 29, 2006, Shearson Financial Network, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Shares Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Agreement (the "Agreement") with Allstate Home Loans Inc. ("Allstate"), and the sole shareholder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Allstate (the "Allstate Shareholder"). Pursuant to the Agreement, which closed on July 29, 2006, the Company is purchasing from the Company's sole shareholder 850 shares of Allstate's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As of July 29, 2006, Allstate has 1,000 shares common stock that are issued and outstanding. The consideration for this purchase equaled 82,000,000 in common Stock and $1,250,000 in the Company's preferred stock, totaling $3,250,000.
The Company has adopted FASB 142. Under guidance of SFAS 142, net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, as such, the historical cost basis of individual assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their fair value. Identified intangibles are amortized on an accelerated or straight-line basis over the period benefited. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level. The impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Of the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional procedure must be performed. That additional procedure compares the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill (as defined in SFAS 142) with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
Other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Such evaluation of other intangible assets is based on undiscounted cash flow projections.
(6) | Acquisition of Assets: |
On June 5, 2006, we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Real Property Technologies ("RPT"), a New York corporation ("RPT"), from its shareholders ("shareholders"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") among SHAREHOLDERS, RPT and us. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we exchanged 100,000 shares of our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock valued at approximately $40,000,000. Each share of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of four hundred dollars ($400.00). The acquisition of RPT diversifies our mortgage operations and our mortgage banking capability via its extensive database of real property information.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
RPT is a leading real estate information company with headquarters in New York. RPT reported revenues of approximately $24 million for fiscal year 2005 with pre tax profits of nearly four million dollars ($4,000,000) and has in excess of 200 employees. As part of the acquisition, certain key members of RPT's management will enter into employment agreements providing for a base compensation, plus bonuses based on future performance of the combined business. We plan to integrate RPT into Shearson Financial Network and operate RPT as a separate data network. RPT provides a steady revenue stream and profitability which the company looks to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations in the mortgage lending market. The database has numerous marketing advantages for our mortgage operations.
On June 9, 2006, we agreed to acquire certain assets and defined liabilities of eHome CreditCorp. (“EHC”), a New York corporation (“EHC”), from its shareholders (“shareholders”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) among SHAREHOLDERS, EHC and us. Pursuant to the Agreement, we exchanged 7,500 shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock valued at approximately $3,000,000. Each share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value of four hundred dollars ($400.00). The acquisition of EHC diversifies our mortgage operations and our mortgage banking capability and it can add approximately $14 million per year in revenue to our mortgage group.
EHC is a leading mortgage banker with headquarters in Garden City, New York, and is licensed to lend in thirty-eight (38) states.. As part of the acquisition, certain key members of EHC’s management will enter into employment agreements providing for a base compensation, plus bonuses based on future performance of the combined business. We plan to integrate EHC into our previously completed acquisition of Shearson Homes Loans and use the brand name Shearson Home Loans for all of our mortgage operations.

The Agreement provides for the sale by the Company to the Purchasers of Secured Convertible Term Notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (“Principal Amount”). The Principal Amount is to be funded by the Purchasers in three traunches $500,000 on July 24, 2006, $500,000 upon filing the Registration Statement and $500,000 upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

The Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at 50% discount to the average of the three lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion. In connection with the subject offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 30,000,000 warrants (10,000,000 upon each traunch of financing) to purchase common stock at a price of $0.02 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years.

Further, any amounts owing to the investors shall be paid in cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of common stock priced at 50% discount to the market price.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
The Company has determined the Notes contains a beneficial conversion feature and qualifies for treatment under Emerging Issue Task Force No. 00-27. The estimated fair value of the detachable warrants of $421,166 has been determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: stock price volatility ranging from 340% to 343%, risk free interest rate of 5.15%; dividend yield of 0% and 3 year term. The face amount of the Notes of $1,000,000 was proportionately allocated to the Notes and the warrants in the amount of $704,162 and $295,838, respectively. The Notes’ proportionate allocated value of $704,162 was then further allocated between the Notes and the beneficial conversion feature, which the entire remaining value of $704,162 was allocated to the beneficial conversion feature. The combined total value of the warrant and beneficial conversion feature of $1,000,000 has been accounted for as a debt discount which is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the Notes.

| Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. This discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Overview
Shearson Financial Network Inc. SFN was incorporated in Las Vegas, Nevada in July 2000, and is the parent to two primary operating divisions, Shearson Home Loans and Real Property Technologies (RPT). Shearson Home Loans (SHL) is a direct-to-consumer mortgage broker and banker with revenues derived primarily from origination commissions and resale of whole loans earned on the closing of first and second mortgages on single-family residences. SHL currently employs over 500 people which are residential mortgage and/or real estate brokerage professionals. The Company is a consolidator of mortgage brokerages and integrates the brokerage companies into the Shearson Home Loans network and then banks the mortgages through its mortgage banking unit. The Company plans to continue its growth strategy through the acquisition and affiliation of mortgage brokerage firms who do not currently bank their own production. By providing more efficient services to these smaller firms, SHL can accrete loan volume without having to “organically” grow the business. Banking of the accreted loan volume generates windfall revenue to the Company. Thus the rate of growth of SHL’s revenue stream is dramatically accelerated. The Company has the infrastructure, systems, and operational management necessary to properly integrate these and many more acquisitions in order to establish a countywide network. The Company’s business plan is focused on the integration of over 200 mortgage brokerage offices into the SHEARSON mortgage network.
RPT is a leading real estate information company with headquarters in New York. RPT reported revenues of approximately $24 million for fiscal year 2005 with pre tax profits of nearly four million dollars ($4,000,000) and has in excess of 200 employees. RPT operates within the Shearson Financial Network as a separate data network. RPT provides a steady revenue stream and profitability which the company looks to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations in the mortgage lending market. The database has numerous marketing advantages for our mortgage operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. If our loan volume were to increase too rapidly, we believe the increase could have a severe impact on our liquidity. Our warehouse credit facilities limit the amount that may be advanced on each loan funded. Therefore, cash must be used to fund the additional dollars needed to close escrow. Thus, it is crucial that we closely monitor our loan volume.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and 2005 we had net cash (used in) provided by operating activities of ($49.4 million) and $1.4 million, respectively. The primary sources of net cash used in operating activities was stock based expenses of $5.2 million, forgiveness of debt of $7.8 million, debt discount expense of $72,933, increase in accounts receivable of $5.4 million, Increase of mortgage loans held for sale of $31.3 million, increase in unamortized debt discount of $927,000, increase in prepaid expenses of $953,124, increase in goodwill of $12.9 million, decrease in accounts payable of $500,638 and an increase in interest payable of $167,126. The primary sources of net cash provided by operating activities was a decrease in receivables from loan sold of $3.6 million, debt discount expense of $2.9 million relating primarily to beneficial conversion debt discount, decrease accounts payable of $170,574, decrease in other assets of 35,112, stock based expenses of $2.1 million, increase in prepaid expenses of 110,299, increase in accounts receivable of $115,922, increase in minority shareholder interest of $42,165, increase in stock subscription payable of $82,150 and a decrease in interest payable of $6,396 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2005. As investors purchase loans, the amounts advanced for such loans through the warehouse lines of credit are paid. At that time, the receivables are cleared and the cash deposited in our operating account. These accounts vary significantly depending upon where the bulk of the loans are in the process of funding and selling.
Net cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was $25.4 million primarily related to fixed assets purchased by acquisitions, which occurred during the period. Net cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was $16,733 which was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $76.2 million. The consisted of $28.8 million on advances from lines of credit, proceeds related to related notes payable of $40,550, proceeds of notes payable of $1.4 million, payments of notes payable of $450,000 and issuance of preferred stock of $44.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1.5 million. This consisted primarily of net payments under the warehouse lines of credit of $1.7 million, net payments of notes payable of $13,252, proceeds of notes payable related party of $250,000, issuance of common stock of $29,655, as well as dividends paid of $69,481.
Regulatory Trends
The regulatory environments in which we operate have an impact on the activities in which we may engage, how the activities may be carried out and the profitability of those activities. Therefore, changes to laws, regulations or regulatory policies can affect whether and to what extent we are able to operate profitably. For example, proposed state and federal legislation targeted at predatory lending could have the unintended consequence of raising the cost or otherwise reducing the availability of mortgage credit for those potential borrowers with less than prime-quality credit histories, thereby resulting in a reduction of otherwise legitimate sub-prime lending opportunities.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this Form 10-QSB that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements or events, or timing of events, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements or events, or timing of events, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We cannot assure that we will be able to anticipate or respond timely to the changes that could adversely affect our operating results in one or more fiscal quarters. Results of operations in any past period should not be considered indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Fluctuations in operating results may result in fluctuations in the price of our securities.
In the event we need to raise additional financing, there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand or continue our business as desired and operating results may be adversely affected. Debt financing will increase expenses and must be repaid regardless of operating results. Equity financing could result in dilution to existing stockholders.
Some of the more prominent known risks and uncertainties of our business are set forth below. However, this section does not discuss all possible risks and uncertainties to which we are is subject, nor can it be assumed that there are not other risks and uncertainties which may be more significant.
| · | Our losses from period to period; |
| · | Our failure to continue to be an approved FHA mortgagee; |
| · | Our dependence on the warehouse lines of credit which has been reduced ; |
| · | Our need for additional funding sources so that our ability to originate and fund loans is not impaired and |
| · | Our ability to compete with banks and other mortgage lenders that are significantly larger. |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation, and there have been no corrective actions with respect to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are 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 the 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also 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; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost- effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
We are party to claims from time to time, not required to be disclosed in accordance with Item 103 of Regulation S-B. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and In the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
On April 14, 2004, the Company commenced an action against Consulting Services LLC. On April 19, 2004, Consulting Services LLC instituted a counterclaim against the Company. Both claims are considered by the parties to be of a breach of contract nature from a certain Asset Acquisition Agreement in which the Company claims never consummated therefore services are not liable under the agreement. The counterclaims of a similar nature which CDA is claiming no liability and Consulting Services LLC is asking for the amount of stock agreed to be given for services per the acquisition agreement of approximately 2.7 million shares of the Company's stock valued at the time to be approximately $1.8 million and $655,321 for certain liabilities the Company were to assume per the agreement upon closing. The Company is asserting its position of no liability and asking for approximately $712,879 of which was advanced to Consulting Services prior to the knowledge that the transaction was not to close. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs. The estimate of the potential impact on our financial position or overall results of operations for the above legal proceedings could change in the future.
