Investor Presentation

This presentation was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Form 8-K filed by Oakmont Acquisition

Corp. (“Oakmont”) on M ay 4, 2007.  Oakmont is holding presentations for its stockholders regarding the merger of Oakmont

and Brooke Credit Corporation (“BCC”), as described in earlier Form 8-Ks filed by Oakmont which describe the merger in more

detail.

Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. (“Morgan Joseph”), the managing underwriter of Oakmont’s initial public offering (“IPO”)

consummated in July 2005, is assisting Oakmont in these efforts without charge, other than the reimbursement of out-of-pocket

expenses,

although

Morgan

Joseph

has

a

financial

interest

in

the

successful

consummation

of

the

proposed

merger

with

Brooke

Credit.  As a part of its underwriting compensation in Oakmont’s IPO Morgan Joseph received an option to purchase up to a

total of 720,000 Oakmont units.  If the merger with Brooke Credit is not consummated this option will have no further

economic value.  Morgan Joseph has also served as financial advisor to Brooke Credit in connection with the negotiation of the

merger.  In connection with such services, Morgan Joseph is entitled to receive additional cash compensation upon the closing of

the merger equal to 5.0% of the amount of cash and cash held in trust funds on Oakmont’s balance sheet as of the closing date

of the merger.  Morgan Joseph will only receive this additional compensation from Brooke Credit if the merger is consummated. 

Finally, Morgan Joseph has provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Brooke Credit in the past, for which

Morgan Joseph received customary compensation comprising a cash fee and warrants to purchase 100,446 shares of Brooke

Credit common stock.  Oakmont, BCC, their respective directors and executive officers and Morgan Joseph may be deemed to

be participants in the solicitation of proxies for the Oakmont special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders will be asked

to approve this transaction.

Stockholders

of

Oakmont

and

BCC

and

other

interested

persons

are

advised

to

read

Oakmont’s

preliminary

proxy

statement

and, when available, Oakmont’s definitive proxy statement in connection with Oakmont’s solicitation of proxies for the special

meeting

at

which

Oakmont’s

stockholders

will

be

asked

to

approve

the

merger

because

these

proxy

statements

contain

important

information. Such persons can also read Oakmont’s final prospectus, dated July 12, 2005, as well as periodic reports, for more

information

about

Oakmont,

its

officers

and

directors,

and

their

interests

in

the

successful

consummation

of

this

business

combination. 

The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to Oakmont’s stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting at the

special meeting.  Oakmont’s stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement, the final prospectus

and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, without charge, by visiting the Securities and

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements about Oakmont Acquisition Corp.

(“Oakmont”), Brooke Credit Corporation (“BCC”) and their combined business after completion of the

merger.

Forward-looking

statements

are

statements

that

are

not

historical

facts.

Such

forward-looking

statements, based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Oakmont’s and BCC’s management, are

subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking

statements.  The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth

in the forward-looking statements:

–

A significant part of BCC’s business strategy involves originating new loans and our failure to

grow may adversely affect BCC’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial

condition.

–

BCC’s borrower’s financial performance (which may be affected by, among other conditions, a

softening insurance market and rising interest rates) may adversely affect their ability to repay

amounts due to BCC.

–

BCC’s financial condition could be adversely affected if BCC is unable to fund loans through

sales to third parties.

–

BCC

makes

certain

assumptions

regarding

the

profitability

of

its

securitizations,

participations,

warehouse lines and other funding vehicles which may not prove to be accurate.

–

The value of the collateral securing BCC’s loans to borrowers may be adversely affected by the

borrowers’

actions.

–

Potential

litigation

and

regulatory

proceedings

could

materially

adversely

affect

BCC’s

financial

condition.

-

4

-

Forward-Looking Statements

–

BCC is dependent on key personnel.

–

BCC may be required to repurchase loans sold with recourse or make payments on guarantees.

–

BCC may not be able to accurately report financial results or prevent fraud if BCC fails to

maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial

reporting.

–

Efforts to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will entail significant expenditures; non-

compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may adversely affect BCC.

–

BCC may not be able to achieve the loan origination, loan pricing, operating expense, sources

of funding, fee and other income levels that it has assumed.

–

BCC

may

not

be

able

to

secure

the

lines

of

credit

and

additional

sources

of

funding

necessary

to accommodate BCC’s growth

–

Changes in economic, political and regulatory environments, governmental policies, laws and

regulations, including changes in accounting policies and standards and taxation requirements

(such as new tax laws and new or revised tax law interpretations) could materially adversely

affect BCC’s operations and financial condition.

Other relevant risks are described in the amended Preliminary Proxy Statement filed on May 2, 2007 by

Oakmont with the SEC.  The information set forth herein should be read in light of such risks.  Neither

Oakmont, nor BCC assumes any obligation to update the information contained in this presentation.  As

a “blank check”

company, the safe harbor provided for in the Private Securities

Litigation Reform Act of

1995 does not apply to Oakmont in connection with the proposed merger.

Why Specialty Finance and Why BCC?

-

9

-

Why Specialty Finance?

Specialty Finance Companies offer growth potential with limited competition and lower marketing costs

than traditional lenders

–

Small business lending comprises a significant portion of the specialty finance universe

–

Typically target traditionally underserved and niche growth industries

–

Marketing efforts tend to be more effective and cost efficient due to targeted focus on specific industries

Investors benefit from lender specialization

–

As a result of lender specialization, specialty finance companies can better underwrite, measure, and control

loan quality as compared to traditional or generalist lenders

Specialty Finance Companies appeal to small business owners

–

Specialty finance companies create loan products more specific to a borrower’s business

•

Typically result in more flexible and accommodating capital for small business owners

–

The

loan

approval

process

is

more

friendly

to

the

borrower,

due

to

the

lenders’

understanding

of

their

borrowers’

businesses

•

Standardized underwriting, due diligence, and documentation that

typically results from specialized

lending

Specialty Finance Companies benefit traditional lenders

–

Traditional or generalist lenders typically lack underwriting expertise in niche industries, which discourages

them from loaning directly to these specialized borrowers

–

Traditional lenders tap niche industries by funding specialty finance companies or purchasing loans/asset-

backed securities in which they benefit from the lender specialization of specialty finance companies

–

Relationships

with

traditional

lenders

strengthen

funding

capacity

and

promote

continued

growth

for

specialty finance companies

14

-

BCC has well-developed processes to measure loan quality through extensive credit analysis, background

checks, in-person interviews, and third-party diligence

BCC Overview

Other Considerations

Experienced management team with proven ability to deliver results

new expenses; BCC has been subject to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance

requirements as a consolidated subsidiary of Brooke Corporation and is

currently testing its Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 compliance

Post

Merger

Considerations:

Equity capital will be used to fund the continued growth of the portfolio
