| 1. | Nature of Business and Going Concern |
Nature of Business
MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc., and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 6, 2003.
Mortgage brokerage operations are presently conducted through the Company’s subsidiaries, Mortgagebrokers.com Inc. (an Ontario, Canada company), MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies, Inc., MBKR Franchising Inc. and MBKR Holdings Inc. (Canadian federal companies), in Canada only.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company generated a net loss of $745,564 (for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company generated a net loss of $1,565,008). Certain conditions noted below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional debt or equity financing, to grow sales of its services and achieve profitable operations. Management’s plan is to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms to the Company. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and changes in estimates, where appropriate) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented, have been made. The results of operations of such interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.

Preferred Stock
The Company has 5,000,000 shares authorized of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001. The Company has issued none of these shares as of June 30, 2012.
Common Stock
On June 9, 2006, the Company completed an offering in which it issued a total of 70,416 shares of its common stock to accredited investors including RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc., its executives and franchisees, at a price per unit of $30.00 for an aggregate offering price of $2,112,470. Purchasers of these securities receive the following additional rights and privileges:
| i. | The purchaser received a warrant (1 warrant = 1 share) to further purchase up to the total number shares of common stock purchased through the private placement exercisable at a rate of 20% each year following the anniversary date of the private placement closure. The warrants are exercisable at a price 30% below the 30 day fair market price preceding the date such warrants are exercised.

Equity Compensation Plan
On February 6, 2003 and as amended on February 14, 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Equity Compensation Plan to attract and retain high quality personnel. The adequacy of this plan is evaluated annually by Company management. As of June 30, 2012, no options had been issued under this plan. The disclosures made in the 2005 Audited Financial Statements (10-KSB - Item 10. Executive Compensation) and the `Amendment to License Agreement between RE/MAX and Mortgagebrokers.com Holding Inc.' dated May 25, 2006 (8-K - Schedule `A' 1. Outstanding Options) documenting the equity compensation of employees has not been implemented as of June 30, 2012. Until the new employment contracts have been formally and legally executed, the existing employment contracts of the Company are still in effect.
Service Compensation Plan
On March 1, 2005 the Board of Directors approved the Service Compensation Plan ("the Service Plan"), the purpose of which is to enhance the Company’s stockholder value and maximize the available capital resources of the company through allowing non-monetary transactions whereby the issuance of stock is granted for services rendered. This program is expected to support the Company in building a long term sustainable revenue pipeline, a national sales agency and referral program as well as provide incentive to service providers to establish long term relationships with the Company and to encourage stock ownership by such individuals by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company’s success through stock ownership. Under the Service Plan, service providers, consultants, mortgage agents and strategic alliance partners who provide services to the Company may be granted options or warrants to acquire restricted stock of the Company. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Service Plan is 166,667, the adequacy of which will be evaluated annually.

The related cost is included in occupancy costs on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss).
b) Broker Reward Programs
Radius Financial Inc. (“Radius”), a company under common control, funds a rewards program to compensate mortgage brokers under contract to the Company.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Company received broker rewards of $7,116 and $9,785 (2011 - $744 and $1,060), respectively, for its brokers from Radius, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

These amounts are recorded as revenues on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) and are calculated and paid on normal commercial terms.
| 10. | Earnings or Loss Per Share |
The Company calculates basic earnings per common share using net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The Company calculates diluted earnings per common share in the same manner as basic, except we use the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding in the denominator, when the stock options and warrants are not anti-dilutive.

| 11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments
The Company has entered into agreements with various parties, whereby the Company is committed to issue compensatory warrants and stock as part of the “Service Compensation Plan” to mortgage agents and strategic alliance partners.
The effective date (“Effective Date”), when mentioned below, is the date the independent mortgage agent entered into a Mortgage Agent Agreement with the Company; or, is the date the RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc. (“RE/MAX”) or Maxwell Realty Inc. (“Maxwell”) Franchisee entered into a Service Level Agreement with the Company and is also the date that the strike price (“Strike Price”) of the warrants is established. The strike price is the greater of $30 per share or the twenty day average closing price following the Effective Date.
Since the conversion ratio of dollar value of warrants into shares is fixed, but the share price fluctuates, the accrual to expense the value of the warrants earned by the mortgage agents and strategic alliance partners will fluctuate with the share price at the end of each period.

On January 25, 2010, MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. (“FGOC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MortgageBrokers.com Holdings Inc., commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against a number of parties including Mortgage Brokers City Inc. and its principals, who were former mortgage agents of the Company. The statement of claim filed by FGOC asserted a number of claims in the aggregate amount of approximately $18,952,500 arising out of loan agreements and mortgage agent license agreements with the defendants. In addition, claims were made against the defendants for passing off their brokerage for that of the plaintiffs including continuing to operate a brokerage after agreement termination, with all of the trappings they had been using to identify their brokerage when working for the plaintiffs. On April 5, 2010, the defendants counter claimed against a number of parties including FGOC in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada. The counterclaim asserted a number of claims in the amount of $548,625 arising out of commission holdbacks by the Company. The counterclaim was settled following the Company paying out agent commissions of $223,175 and placing $373,311 with the Court pending a resolution to the Company’s original claim. Company management will vigorously defend itself in this action and believes that the Company has no liability in this matter. On March 20, 2012, Mortgage Brokers City Inc. refiled an amended statement of claim against FGOC and its senior management. On April 30, 2012, FGOC expanded its original statement of claim to include 40 of Mortgage Brokers City Inc.’s mortgage agents involved in the matter. On April 30, 2012, FGOC made a formal settlement offer to Mortgage Brokers City Inc. to settle all outstanding matters. The matter is still before the courts and is expected to be heard later in 2012 or 2013. Company management will vigorously defend itself in this action and believes that the Company has no liability in this matter.
On March 5, 2010, FGOC commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against Ralph Canonaco. The statement of claim filed by FGOC asserted the failed collection of a liquidated debt in the amount of $498,750 arising out of a brokerage agreement. On September 9, 2010, Ralph Canonaco and various other parties commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against FGOC and various other related parties. The statement of claim filed by Ralph Canonaco et. al. asserted fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation and conspiracy in the amount of $34,912,500 unjust enrichment in the amount of $947,625, breach of trust and misappropriation of trust funds in the amount of $49,875, and breach of contract in the amount of $49,875, arising out of a brokerage agreement and the associated services provided. On December 21, 2011, FGOC filed a statement of defense and counterclaim. FGOC countered for the following: (i) $498,750 in liquidated damages, plus 6% per annum interest; (ii) approximately $722,190 in damages owed pursuant to an agreement; and (iii) $2,493,750 in interest and punitive damages. Company management denies all of the allegations in the action and has retained counsel to vigorously defend itself in this action. Management believes that the claim is vexatious and frivolous and has no grounds to proceed.
On February 2, 2011, HSBC Bank Canada commenced an action in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Canada against various entities, including FGOC et. al. The statement of claim filed asserted claims of breach of agreement, conspiracy and concealment and is claiming $651,000 plus costs and interest arising out of a real estate transaction and mortgage funding. Company management will vigorously defend itself in this action and believes that the Company has no liability in this matter. On July 24, 2012 this action was dismissed.
The Company is party to various other claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect the disposition of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three months ended June 30, 2011
Reported gross revenue in the three months ending June 30, 2012 was $1,314,363, a decrease of approximately 68% as compared to $4,092,600 for the same period in 2011.
The Company’s reported operating expenses during the three months ending June 30, 2012 was $1,725,024, a decrease of approximately 59%, as compared to $4,238,585 for the same period in 2011. The primary components that comprise our operating expenses are agent commissions, salaries and benefits, general and administrative expenses and occupancy costs which are explained in detail as follows:
| · | In the three months ending June 30, 2012, 69% of the operating expenses were associated with agent commissions. Agent commission fees in the reporting period, as a percent of revenue, increased by 3% as compared to that of 2011, suggesting that the Company experienced moderate margin erosion between the periods as the Company increased its commissions payable to select mortgage agents. Agent commissions during the three months ending June 30, 2012 decreased to $1,186,751, or approximately 67%, as compared to $3,589,209 in the three months ended June 30, 2011. |

In January 2011, all human resources for the Company were consolidated into a related third-party company that provided back office corporate services to the Company on a cost allocation basis. This outsourcing exercise was carried out as the related third-party was willing to fund the Company’s operating deficit on mutually agreeable terms. |
| · | In the three months ended June 30, 2012, 1% of our operating expenses were associated with general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by 59% to $93,637 in 2012, as compared to $228,052 for the same period in 2011, as the Company entered into a cost sharing program with a related third-party company and down-sized Company operations. |
| · | In the three months ended June 30, 2012, less than 1% of our operating expenses in the reporting period were associated with occupancy costs. Occupancy costs decreased by 27% to $38,489 in 2012 as compared to $52,719 for the same period in 2011, as the Company entered into a cost sharing program with a related third-party company and expense allocations were adjusted period over period. |

Reported gross revenue in the first half of 2012 was $3,201,308, a decrease of approximately 54% as compared to $7,019,806 during the first half of 2011.
The Company’s reported operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3,946,872, a decrease of approximately 46% as compared to $7,354,101 for the same period in 2011. The primary components that comprise our operating expenses are agent commissions, salaries and benefits, general and administrative expenses and occupancy costs which are explained in detail as follows:
| · | In the six months ended June 30, 2012, 72% of the operating expenses were associated with agent commissions. Agent commission fees in the reporting period, as a percent of revenue, increased by 2% as compared to that of 2011 suggesting that the Company experienced moderate margin erosion between the periods as the Company increased its commissions payable to select mortgage agents. Agent commissions during the period decreased 54% in 2012, as compared to that of 2011. |
| · | Approximately 21% of the operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2012 were associated with salaries and benefits. Reported salaries and benefit expenses increased by 13% as compared to the same period in 2011. In January 2011, all human resources for the Company were consolidated into a related third-party company who provided back office corporate services to the Company on a cost allocation basis. This outsourcing exercise was carried out as the related third-party was willing to fund the Company’s operating deficit on mutually agreeable terms. |
| · | In the six months ended June 30, 2012, 5% of our operating expenses were associated with general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 48% to $192,892 in 2012 as compared to $373,943 for the same period in 2011 as the Company entered into a cost sharing program with a related third-party company and down-sized Company operations. |
| · | In the six months ended June 30, 2012, 2% of our operating expenses were associated with occupancy expenses. Occupancy expenses decreased by 30% to $78,527 in 2012 as compared to $112,000 for the same period in 2011 as the Company entered into a cost sharing program with a related third-party company and expense allocations were adjusted period over period. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2012, we had $456,733 in cash, $52,836 in prepaid expenses, $54,734 in equipment and equipment under capital leases for a total of $564,303 in assets. Comparatively as of December 31, 2011, we had $909,491 in cash, $26,012 in prepaid expenses, $63,951 in equipment and equipment under capital leases for a total of $999,454 in assets.
At June 30, 2012, we had $535,930 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $73,458 in employee tax deductions payable, $3,317,103 in loans payable to related parties and $14,422 in accrued stock-based compensation for a total of $3,940,913 in liabilities. Comparatively as of December 31, 2011, the Company had $1,067,351 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $144,594 in employee tax deductions payable, $2,409,646 in loans payable to related parties and $17,980 in accrued stock-based compensation for a total of $3,639,571 in liabilities.
Management makes the following comments regarding the most significant factors affecting Company’s liquidity and capital resources and their measured trends over the reporting period:
| · | The Company’s cash position decreased by 49.8% over the six month period ending June 30, 2012, augmented with a foreign exchange balance primarily associated with the following: |
| o | The Company lost $1,373,037 in cash from operating activities over the six month period ending June 30, 2012. This is primarily attributed to, in part, overall business expenses exceeding our net revenue (after agent commissions are paid out) during the period amounting to a net loss of $745,564 and making use of available resources to pay down the outstanding employee tax deductions payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $606,051; |
| o | The Company gained $917,850 in cash from financing activities over the six month period ending June 30, 2012 as we received funds from a related-party to fund our operational deficit; and |
| o | The Company had no gain or loss in cash from investing activities for the six month period ending June 30, 2012. |
| · | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by approximately 50% over the reporting period. The bulk of this payable amount is work in progress payable to mortgage agents. Following the completion of mortgage agent origination compliance procedures can build up significantly if mortgage agents delay providing their files to our back office for compliance review. Work in progress mortgage agent commissions payable are typically outstanding for 10 business days. |
| · | The Company is in arrears on the tax withholdings due to Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) related to employee salaries. As of the end of the reporting period, the company had a tax liability with CRA of $73,458 (compared to $144,594 owed at December 31, 2011). CRA has registered a Certificate in the Canadian Federal Court and the Property Register of Ontario for the amount owed to CRA by one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries. The liability currently bears interest at approximately 9% annually. The Company made lump sum monthly payments via post-dated checks to pay down the outstanding balance by $71,136 during the first six months of 2012. |
The Company reported a net loss from operations for the six months ending June 30, 2012 of $745,564 with a net decrease in cash from operating and financing activities of $455,187 during the same period.
In the event that the Company continues to have operating losses beyond its available working capital resources or deficit funding arrangements, experiences unforeseen impacts to cash flow or a prolonged market downturn, the Company will need to rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders and/or loans from shareholders and third-party lenders to meet its working capital needs. There is no guarantee that the Company would be able to raise equity or debt capital to fund operations.
As noted in the recent year end and quarterly filings, management has been actively exploring restructuring options to reduce overhead expenses. Based upon the 2011 year-end financial results of operations and on the following:
1. Current economic conditions and the ongoing loss of cash from operating activities;
2. The high costs associated with driving a high-service value proposition in an eroding margin brokerage marketplace in Canada;
3. Current equity market conditions not being favorable for a publicly traded mortgage brokerage operation limiting the liquidity of our stock and company capitalization; and
4. The increasingly high costs associated with administering a publicly traded company,
The Board of Directors has decided to privatize our Canadian operations and amalgamate them with a private company under common control. The Company is actively seeking candidate companies for a reverse merger transaction or strategic acquisition. At the present time, the Company is in discussion with candidate companies to complete the contemplated transaction. There is no timetable for completing this process; however, management will make best efforts to complete this restructuring by the end of 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies
The financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of mortgage brokerage fees, finders’ fees and insurance commissions. The revenues from brokerage fees and finders’ fees are recognized after the funding of a customer’s mortgage and when the collection of brokerage or finders fees is reasonably assured which typically occurs when the fees are advanced from the lender. Insurance commission revenues are recognized when collection is reasonably assured which typically occurs when the insurance commission fees from the insurance provider are advanced.
Share-based Payment
The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R" and now codified as “ASC 718”) for stock options and similar equity instruments (collectively, "options") issued to employees. The Company applies the fair value base method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 123R or ASC 718. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost 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. For stock options, the fair value is determined using an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock and the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. SFAS No. 123R or ASC 718 also applies to transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees. Those transactions must be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, as described in Note 8 to the financial statements found here-in for the reporting period.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months reporting period ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss from operations of $745,564 with a net decrease in cash from operating and financing activities of $455,187 during the same period. Certain conditions noted below raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is partly contingent upon its ability to secure additional debt or equity financing, continue to grow sales of its services and continue to achieve profitable operations. Management’s plan is to privatize our Canadian operations and amalgamate them with a private company under common control to try to establish better economies of scale.
As noted above and in recent Form 10-Q reports for 2012 and 2011 and our Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2011, management has been actively exploring restructuring options to reduce overhead expenses. Based upon the 2011 year-end financial results of operations, the Board of Directors has decided to privatize our Canadian operations and amalgamate them with a private company under common control. The Company is actively seeking candidate companies to for a reverse merger transaction or strategic acquisition. At the present time, the Company is in discussion with candidate groups to complete the contemplated transaction. There is no timetable for completing this process; however, management will make best efforts to complete this restructuring by the end of 2012.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of the Company’s management, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Current Litigation
MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. v. Mortgage Brokers City Inc.
On January 25, 2010, MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. (“FGOC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MortgageBrokers.com Holdings Inc., commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against a number of parties including Mortgage Brokers City Inc. and its principals Mike Hapke, Frank Napolitano, Jeff Cody and York Polk, who were former mortgage agents of the Company. The statement of claim filed by FGOC asserted a number of claims in the aggregate amount of approximately CDN $19 million, arising out of loan agreements and mortgage agent license agreements with the defendants. In addition, claims were made against the defendants for passing off their brokerage for that of the plaintiffs including continuing to operate a brokerage after agreement termination, with all of the trappings they had been using to identify their brokerage when working for the plaintiffs.
On April 5, 2010, the defendants counter claimed against a number of parties including FGOC in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada. The counter claim asserted a number of claims in the amount of $548,625 arising out of commission holdbacks by the Company. The counter claim was settled following the Company paying out agent commissions of $223,175 and placing $373,311 with the Court pending a resolution to the Company’s original claim.
On March 20, 2012, Mortgage Brokers City Inc. re-filed an amended statement of claim against FGOC and its senior management. On April 30, 2012, FGOC expanded its original statement of claim to include 40 of Mortgage Brokers City Inc.’s mortgage agents involved in the matter. On April 30, 2012, FGOC made a formal settlement offer to Mortgage Brokers City Inc. to settle all outstanding matters.
The matter is still before the courts and is expected to be heard later in 2012 or 2013. Company management will vigorously defend itself in this action and believes that the Company has no liability in this matter.
MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. v. Ralph Canonaco et. al.
On March 5, 2010, FGOC commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against Ralph Canonaco et. al. The statement of claim filed by FGOC alleged the failed collection of a liquidated debt in the amount of $498,750 arising out of a brokerage agreement and unpaid promissory note by Ralph Canonaco and Baywood homes. On October 21, 2011, the parties agreed to dismiss this action and to incorporate FGOC’s claims for the $498,750 in damages into the action filed by Ralph Canonaco and various other parties described below.
On September 9, 2010, Ralph Canonaco et. al commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada against FGOC and various other related parties. The statement of claim filed by Ralph Canonaco et. al. for the amount of approximately $37 million in damages.
Management denies all of the allegations in the action and has retained counsel to vigorously defend itself in this action. Management believes that the claim is vexatious and frivolous and has no grounds to proceed. Management will be filing a counter claim against Ralph Canonaco, Frank Canonaco and Baywood homes et. al. for in excess of $12 million in damages for alleged failed collection of liquidated debts, promissory notes and unpaid broker fee’s on $36.4 million in commercial financing arranged by FGOC and breach of contract.
HSBC Bank Canada v. MortgageBrokers.com Financial Group of Companies Inc. et. al.
On February 2, 2011, HSBC Bank Canada commenced an action in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Canada against 17 different entities, including a former FGOC mortgage broker and FGOC. The statement of claim alleged breach of agreement, conspiracy and concealment and damages of $651,000 and interest arising out of a real estate transaction and mortgage funding. None of the above allegations were made directly against FGOC. An independent mortgage broker affiliated with FGOC is alleged to have been involved in a fraudulent real estate transaction and mortgage funding. HSBC Bank Canada alleges that FGOC should be vicariously liable for the independent mortgage brokers alleged conduct. FGOC’s independent mortgage brokers each have a $5 million Errors & Omissions Insurance Policy that protects FGOC from liability related to their independent mortgage brokers.
Management denies all of the allegations in the action and has retained counsel to vigorously defend itself in this action. Management believes that the FGOC has no liability in this matter.
On July 24, 2012 this action was dismissed.
Other Matters in the Normal Course of Business
The Company and/or its subsidiaries are party to various other claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect the disposition of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
