- 2 - 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 Exchange Commission’s Internet site at (http://www.sec.gov). |
- 3 - 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.

- 8 - 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 |
- 10 - Why BCC? BCC is a leading provider of senior secured loans to insurance-related businesses, including funeral homes that sell pre-need life insurance, in the United States – December 31, 2006 book value of $64.4 million ($109 million pro forma¹) – Loan portfolio of $483.3 million as of December 31, 2006 – Achieved 74% annualized growth rate in loan portfolio during 2006 Has generated $672 million in new loans since 2001 To-date has closed six loan securitizations, resulting in approximately $188 million in asset-backed securities issued Has increased interest spreads as loan programs have evolved and seasoned Lending to “main street businesses,” a large, underserved market with financing needs – Established reputation within the insurance and death care industries – Primarily to provide senior secured acquisition financing backed by personal guarantees to the following borrowers: • Retail Insurance Agencies (Franchise) • Retail Insurance Agencies (Non-Franchise) • Managing General Insurance Agencies (“MGAs”) • Independent Funeral Home Owners 1 Assumes maximum shareholder approval Misc. Loans 1% MGA Loans 18% Funeral Home Loans 12% Retail Insurance Agencies (Non Franchise) 11% Retail Insurance Agencies (Franchise) 58% |
- 11 - 1 According to FutureOne 2006 Agency Universe Study conducted by Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America. 2 According to 2004 National Directory of Morticians. Why BCC? Unique business model with entrenched relationships – Proprietary loan sourcing network provides steady stream of high-quality loan candidates – Deep credit underwriting expertise with proven success – Payment lockbox arrangement helps ensure control of cash flow from retail agency borrowers – Proprietary loan funding network 150+ institutions strong – Proprietary collateral preservation platform, which features the use of licensed insurance professionals and funeral home directors in monitoring and fixing distressed businesses, results in better control over credit quality Impressive loan portfolio growth and financial results – Loan portfolio grew 74% to approximately $483 million during fiscal 2006 – Five year portfolio CAGR of 62% – As a result of lender specialization and unique collateral preservation platform, BCC is better able to monitor and control credit quality – For fiscal years ended 2004, 2005, and 2006, BCC generated $2.2, $6.1, and $7.0 million of net income, resulting in a three year earnings CAGR of 48% Attractive target markets with underserved need – Over 37,500 independent insurance agencies¹ and 21,000 independent funeral homes² in the U.S. – Aging insurance agency entrepreneurs nearing retirement seeking liquidity – Agencies have strong, predictable cash flow – Deconsolidation trend of smaller funeral homes from public company consolidators creates need for acquisition financing |
- 12 - Why BCC? Pioneer in their industry with limited competition – Intangible nature of the asset collateral deters most traditional banks and lending institutions because they lack underwriting expertise to effectively measure and control credit quality – SBA lenders offer similar loans but at less favorable terms and can be an administrative burden for small insurance businesses – Potential competitors have fewer sourcing relationships and funding outlets, putting them at a disadvantage Proprietary relationships with diversified loan funding sources – Loan participations and asset-backed securities sold to nationwide network of over 150 banks – Pioneered securitization program of insurance agency loans; subsequently closed six securitizations with asset-backed securities issued of approximately $188 million – Five lines of credit with total availability of $100 million provides immediate source of loan funding Well-positioned to be a public company – Led by experienced management team that has been instrumental in BCC’s growth since inception – Public parent has required diligent fiscal and operational discipline; BCC is currently in testing phase of SOX 404 – Mature securitization model and relationship within over 150 funding partners, resulting in increased due diligence and increased underwriting and loan servicing discipline – Management has created an entrepreneurial firm with the systems and transparency of a public company |
- 14 - BCC has well-developed processes to measure loan quality through extensive credit analysis, background checks, in-person interviews, and third-party diligence BCC has deep expertise in underwriting loans to a demographic with intangible business assets The underwriting process measures human capital, which BCC believes is the key to creating business value in this sector, by use of personality and skills testing BCC has two types of ongoing loan servicing: Standard and Special – Standard loan servicing includes boarding loans, collecting and processing loan payments; performed primarily by third-party firms such as Bank of NY or Textron Financial – Special loan servicing features close monitoring and ranking of loan performance and utilization of collateral preservation and loss mitigation activities to preserve underperforming loans BCC Overview What BCC Does BCC currently lends to four basic types of borrowers: Historically these groups have been underserved by traditional lenders – Managing general agencies (MGAs) – Independent funeral home owners – Retail insurance agencies (Franchise) – Retail insurance agencies (Non-Franchise) BCC receives a steady stream of loan referrals from three primary sources: – Proprietary Loan Sourcing Network offers high-quality loan referrals – Brooke Franchise, affiliate company of BCC, that is a nationwide franchisor of property and casualty (P&C) insurance agencies – Internal loan-sourcing professionals generate loans through well-planned marketing efforts TARGET DEMOGRAPHICS LOAN SOURCING LOAN UNDERWRITING ONGOING LOAN SERVICING |
