AVAILENT FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY SEACREST INDUSTRIES CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, HISTORY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Availent Financial, Inc. (Formerly SeaCrest Industries Corporation)
Availent Financial, Inc. ("Availent-DE") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 16, 1959 under the name of SeaCrest Industries Corporation ("SeaCrest") with authorized common stock of 2,500,000 shares having a par value of $0.01. SeaCrest had not transacted business since February 1984 and since that time, has pursued acquisitions through the issuance of common stock such that SeaCrest would have operations. On December 4, 2002 SeaCrest changed its name to Availent Financial, Inc., and its year-end from September 30 to December 31 as a result of the merger described below.
Availent Financial, Inc.
Availent Financial, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, ("Availent-TX")) was incorporated in the state of Texas in December 2000. Availent-TX is a holding company that wholly owns the following subsidiaries: Availent Mortgage, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Mortgage"), Availent Leasing, Inc. ("Leasing") and Availent Management, Inc. ("Management").
Merger
Pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated March 1, 2002, between Availent-TX and Availent-DE, which became effective on December 4, 2002 Availent-DE acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Availent-TX in exchange for 54,000,000 shares of Availent-DE's common stock, which represented approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Availent-DE's common stock after the issuance. Concurrent with the above acquisition, Availent-TX was merged into Availent-DE, with Availent-DE as the surviving corporation. Availent-DE and all of its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company".
The merger of Availent-DE and Availent-TX has been treated as a recapitalization and purchase by Availent-TX as the acquiror (reverse acquisition) of Availent-DE, as control rests with the former Availent-TX shareholders, although prior to the acquisition, Availent-DE had been the registrant. Therefore, the historical financial statements prior to December 4, 2002 are those of Availent-TX. The transaction is considered a capital transaction whereby Availent-TX contributed its stock for the net assets of Availent-DE.
In connection with the merger on December 4, 2002, as described above, a one for two reverse stock split of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share became effective. The authorized common stock was then increased to 100,000,000 shares. The corporation also became authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series with voting rights, designations, powers or preferences fixed by the Board of Directors.
Availent Mortgage, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Mortgage was incorporated in the state of Texas in December 2000 but had no activity until February 2001. The Company is certified as a Federal Housing Administration ("FHA"), Title II Nonsupervised Mortgager by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and it originates single-family residential mortgage loans in Texas and the Southwestern United States.
F-7
The Company primarily originates conforming conventional loans, and sells those loans to investors, servicing released. The origination of HUD loans is considered a major program.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Mortgage had a majority interest in seventeen limited liability partnerships that are considered subsidiaries of the Company. Seven of these partnerships have terminated their respective partnership agreements as of March 31, 2003. The limited liability partnerships originate mortgages, which are processed by the Company. Although partnership interests vary, Mortgage owns a majority interest in each of the partnerships. Each entity has acquired state approvals or licenses required to broker residential mortgage loans. Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2003 an additional three partnerships have terminated due to withdrawals of the limited partners.
Mortgage, as a general partner, is responsible for managing the business affairs of the partnerships, for which it is paid 1 percent (1%) of the gross loan fees for its management services. In addition, the Company provides certain administrative and managerial services to the partnerships.
The arrangement between Mortgage and the partnerships follow the provisions of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 ("RESPA"), which prohibits the payment, or receipt of fees for the referral of settlement service business. The arrangement does not violate the RESPA provisions due to the fact that the total compensation received by the partnership and any related payments to the general or limited partners are reasonably related to the value of the services actually performed or received by the joint venture of Mortgage and the partnerships. Additionally, any payments for office space are reasonably related to the value of the office space.
Availent Leasing, Inc.
Leasing was incorporated in the state of Texas in February 2001. Leasing purchases and, subsequently, leases computer and related equipment to affiliated entities.
Availent Management, Inc.
Management was incorporated in the state of Texas in April 2002. Management provides certain managerial services to affiliated entities.
Stock split
In January 2003, the Board of Directors resolved to reverse split (the "Reverse Split") their issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, on a one for ten basis. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Items 303 and 310(B) of Regulation S-B. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2003 and the results of the operations and cash flows for the three ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have
F-8
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and regulations.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002 as included in the Company's report on Form 10-KSB filed on April 15, 2003.
Loss per common share is computed pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"). Basic income (loss) per share is computed as net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through stock based compensation including stock options, restrictive stock awards, warrants and other convertible securities. Diluted EPS is not presented since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3—GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2003, the Company's accumulated deficit was $5,638,231 and its working capital deficiency was $4,676,253. In addition, the Company has had losses from operations of $3,039,935 and $857,785 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $1,740,511 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. As a result of these factors, the auditor's report on the December 31, 2002 financial statements included a paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company has failed to file the required payroll tax returns for the last two quarters of 2002, and the first quarter of 2003. As a result, the Company has delinquent payroll tax liabilities of approximately $464,000.
Mortgage has also failed to comply with certain covenants of its warehouse loan agreement. Mortgage has not been able to maintain the required tangible net worth or debt leverage ratios, as defined in the warehouse lending agreement. The failure to file and pay timely payroll tax returns also violates the agreement. These factors could cause the loss of the warehouse line and impact future loan agreements, as well as future warehouse lending agreements.
To maintain its FHA lending certification, Mortgage is subject to certain net worth requirements for HUD. At March 31, 2003, Mortgage's adjusted net worth for HUD requirement purposes amounted to a deficit of $1,094,174. HUD requires an adjusted net worth of $250,000; therefore Mortgage's adjusted net worth was below the HUD requirement by $1,344,174. In addition, at the present time, Mortgage is not in compliance with its annual reporting requirements with HUD. This net worth deficiency and non-reporting compliance could be detrimental to the operations and financial position of the Company if Mortgage were to lose its FHA certification.
The Company is aggressively attempting to increase revenues in order to mitigate future losses. Management is seeking to raise additional capital and to renegotiate certain liabilities in order to alleviate the working capital deficiency. However, there can be no assurance that it will be able to increase revenues, pay its payroll taxes or to raise additional capital.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

NOTE 4—WAREHOUSE LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE
At March 31, 2003, the Company has a warehouse line of credit with a financial institution providing up to $5,000,000 of funds, secured by mortgage loans held for sale. The line is to be used specifically to fund mortgage loans in the normal course of business. In addition, the loans must have purchase commitments before any amounts may be drawn against the line. The line of credit is subject to interest at the greater of LIBOR and 4% per annum or the Federal Funds rate and 4% annum. Interest is increased by 4% and principal is reduced by 5% if the loan is not purchased within 45 days of acquisition date.
The line is collateralized by a security interest in and to all of Mortgage's right, title and interest in each mortgage loan pledged to the Company, each purchase commitment in existence and the proceeds of the foregoing. The line of credit is subject to termination at the discretion of the lender. The line requires certain escrow funds being held, insurance requirements and financial covenants. At March 31, 2003, the Company is in violation of the minimum corporate tangible net worth and maximum leverage financial covenants, as defined by the warehouse agreement. The agreement also considers delinquent tax filings to governmental authorities as a violation of the agreement. At March 31, 2003 the Company had violated this stipulation of the agreement through delinquent payroll tax deposits and filings.
NOTE 5—MORTGAGE ESCROW PAYABLE
At March 31, 2003, $13,012 of mortgage escrow payable is being held in trust for escrows on unsold loans. The related cash is reflected in restricted cash as a component of current assets and its related liability is reflected as a component of current liabilities.

Market rate risk
The Company, in order to assure itself of a market place to sell its loans, has agreements with investors who will accept all loans meeting certain investor criteria and to deliver the loans at the agreed upon rate to the investor within a specific period. In order to insulate itself from the impact of interest rate fluctuations regarding the locked-in commitments, the Company has obtained mandatory and best efforts commitments from investors to accept delivery at predetermined interest rates.
F-13
Repurchase contingency
Loans sold under FHA or investor programs are subject to repurchase or indemnification if they fail to meet the origination criteria of those programs. In addition, loans sold to investors are also subject to repurchase or indemnification if the loan is two or three months delinquent during a set period, which usually varies from the first six months to a year after the loan is sold. The Company has paid or accrued amounts to investors, which represent expected foreclosure losses on insured mortgages. Additional losses on these mortgages, if any, are not expected to be material. There are no current requests for repurchase or indemnification pending.
Lack of Insurance
The Company had not maintained any liability insurance or any other form of general insurance prior to June 2002. In July 2002, the Company obtained professional liability and general insurance, which was retroactive to May 2001. The policy, however, does not specifically mention the wholly owned subsidiaries or the majority owned partnerships and therefore coverage for these entities is uncertain. The Company is also lacking insurance coverage for workman's compensation, disability, and business discontinuance. Management plans to obtain coverage in June 2003. In December 2002, the Company obtained Directors and Officers Liability Insurance. Although the Company is not aware of any claims resulting from periods of non-coverage, there is no assurance that none exist.
Payroll taxes
As of March 31, 2003, the Company owes approximately $464,000 of payroll taxes and related estimated penalties and interest. Although the Company has not entered into any formal repayment agreements with the respective tax authorities, management plans to make payment as funds become available.
Litigation
On April 2, 2003, the Company received a demand letter from legal counsel to an individual who is a related party to SeaCrest prior to the merger ("Ball") seeking delivery of 700,000 shares of common stock in connection with claims regarding a disputed oral agreement between Availent-TX and Ball prior to the merger. The Company disputes Ball's claims regarding the oral agreement and believes that Ball has not earned, is not entitled to, and has otherwise forfeited all rights, if any ever existed, to the 700,000 shares of common stock, in part, because of material misrepresentations made by, and nonperformance on the part of Ball. The Company intends to vigorously defend against and contest the claims of Ball and pursue any potential counterclaims that may be available to the Company. The Company has previously offered to settle the dispute with Ball, but may withdraw the offer at any time without prior notice. In addition, the Company reserves the right to seek recovery against Ball if the Company discovers, during the course of its investigations with respect to the claims of Ball and the dispute with Ball, that Ball has in any way damaged the Company. The Company and legal counsel believe the Company will prevail in this matter.
The Company has also received a demand from legal counsel to a former employee whom is seeking delivery of 700,000 shares of common stock in connection with claims regarding a disputed oral agreement between Availent-TX and the former employee prior to the merger. The Company disputes the former employee's claims regarding the oral agreement and believes that the former employee has not earned, is not entitled to, and has otherwise forfeited all rights, if any ever existed, to the 700,000 shares of common stock, in part, because of material misrepresentations made by, and nonperformance on the part of, the former employee. The Company intends to
F-14
vigorously defend against and contest the claims of the former employee and pursue any potential counterclaims that may be available to the Company. The Company has previously offered to settle the dispute with the former employee, but may withdraw the offer at any time without prior notice. In addition, the Company reserves the right to seek recovery against the former employee if the Company discovers, during the course of its investigations with respect to the claims of the former employee and the dispute with the former employee, that the former employee has in any way damaged the Company. The Company and legal counsel believe the Company will prevail in this matter.
The Company is party to various legal proceedings generally incidental to its business as is the case with other companies in the same industry.
NOTE 12—MINORITY INTERESTS
The Company's minority interest on the consolidated balance sheet includes the minority interest in ten limited liability partnerships, which Mortgage has a controlling interest in. These partnerships originate mortgages, which are processed by Mortgage. These partnerships predominantly operate in the Southwestern United States.
The assets of each partnership remain on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and are managed by the Company. All of the partnerships, which the Company has an agreement with, are majority owned and are for a term of 10 years. Profits and losses are allocated pro rata, based on the partner respective percentage partnership interest. However, after the allocation of pro rata losses a limited partners capital balance cannot have a negative balance. If the limited partner has no remaining capital balance, all losses are allocated to the general partner, which is the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, net operating losses include operations from seventeen limited liability partnerships in operation during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 totaled $138,921 of which the limited partners were allocated $21,625, which has been classified as minority interest on the statement of operations. At March 31, 2003, assets of $50,939 and liabilities of $85,427 for the ten limited liability partnerships are included on the balance sheet along with the minority interest balance of $66,408.

In addition, the Lender also agreed to extend the maturity date of the loans on February 26, 2002 and October 15, 2002 from December 31, 2002 to April 30, 2003. Included in the agreement, the Lender provided the Company with an option that if the Company chooses to prepay the interest for each of the loans listed above, which aggregates $1,355,000, by January 31, 2003, the Lender will extend the loan from April 30, 2003 to June 30, 2003. In consideration for the provisions in this agreement the Lender received commitment and extension fees totaling $32,750, reimbursement of related legal and travel fees of $6,000 and 236,000 post-split shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $233,404 which have been recorded as a interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 and a commitment to provide warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that chooses to change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects that accounting for stock-based employee compensation using the fair-value-based method would have on reported net income and earnings per share and to require prominent disclosure about the entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employees compensation. Certain of the disclosure requirements are required for all companies, regardless of whether the fair value method or intrinsic value method is used to account for stock-based compensation arrangements. The amendments to SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
The Company accounts for its employee incentive stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," as permitted by SFAS No. 123. The adoption of the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 15—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Grant of Stock Options
In March 2003, the President of the Company was granted options under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Common stock at $1.00 per share. The options became fully exercisable on the date of the grant.
Employment Agreements
In April and May 2003, the Company entered into new employment agreements with two key officers/shareholders, the chief executive officer and president and the president of Mortgage. The employment agreements are for a term of five years with annual salaries ranging from $100,000 to $125,000. Concurrent with the signing of the new employment agreements, the officers forgave unpaid compensation due them under the previous employment amounting to $95,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003. The forgiveness has been recorded as a capital contribution from the officers.
NOTE 16—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Stock Transfer and Consulting Agreement
In April and May 2003, two key founding officers entered into a stock transfer and consulting agreement with a consulting company, currently doing business with the Company (the "Consultant") for additional financial and investment banking and consulting services. The term of the agreement is over a period of one year from the effective date of the agreement. As consideration for the future services by the Consultant, the officers transferred all of their common shares, 3,376,382 shares, valued at $3,337,242 to the Consultant. This agreement was subject to approval by the Board of Directors, which was subsequently denied, thereby voiding their agreement.
Conversion of Notes Payable—Officers to Common Stock
In April and May 2003, the two key founding officers agreed to convert all principal balances from notes payable, owed to them, as well as their spouses, from the Company into Company common stock at the price of $1.00 per share. As of March 31, 2003, total amounts owed to these parties aggregated $836,250. The Company will issue 836,250 common shares for the conversion of their debt. Related accrued interest aggregating $141,711 will be forgiven upon conversion of the debt.
Amendments to Debt Financing Agreements with Lender
In April 2003, the Company and the Lender entered into an additional Agreement ("Agreement") regarding the notes aggregating $1,355,000 (as described in Note 13) of which $500,000 is guaranteed by the annuity contract of the spouse of the founding shareholder of Availent-TX. The agreement, gives the Lender the right to make demand for payment of the annuity for the amount of $500,000 against the outstanding notes, any balance of the proceeds of the annuity will be
F-19
immediately repaid to the founding shareholder and spouse. In the event the proceeds of the annuity is insufficient to pay the $500,000, the Company and the Lender agree to extend the balance of the notes. With regards to the remaining notes of $855,000, the Company and the Lender agree to issue and place 1,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock into an escrow account as shares to be held as collateral to secure repayment of the notes ("Escrow Agreement"). It is further agreed upon that with the transfer of the shares into the escrow account the Lender agrees to release the Company of all liabilities relating to the $855,000 remaining in notes and to convey the second lien covering the New Mexico property held as collateral to the escrow account. The personal guarantees of the founding shareholder and the spouse will not be terminated. The 1,700,000 shares held in escrow will be sold and the $855,000 will be repaid including any interest and other charges accrued and the balance remaining along with the second lien covering the New Mexico property will be transferred to the Company. In addition, the founding shareholder and the spouse agree to convey, subject to the outstanding balance of the first lien mortgage, the title and ownership of the New Mexico property, however they do retain the right to repurchase the property.
If the remaining notes of $855,000 are not repaid by September 30, 2003, the Escrow Agreement will terminate and all shares returned to the Company and the second lien returned to the Lender. In consideration for the transfer of the annuity to the Lender and the transfer of the New Mexico property to the Company, the Company will issue the founding shareholder and spouse 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Agreement requires the purchase of 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock by the Lender for $300,000, the issuance of 60,000 common stock warrants which may be exercised at any time for a period of five years at a purchase price of $1.00 per share, the Company's commitment to obtain additional investors to match the $300,000 common stock purchase by the Lender. If the Company is able to obtain financing in a form of a loan or equity in excess of $600,000 it is required to repurchase the Lender's 600,000 shares of common stock at $.50 per share with 50% of the amount in excess of the $600,000 received by the Company.
Conversion of Debt and Sale of Common Stock
In April 2003, the Company entered into an agreement whereby an individual stockholder converted two notes payable aggregating $150,000 into shares of common stock for $.50 per share for a total of 300,000 shares. Additionally, the Company sold to the stockholder for $100,000, 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock plus 20,000 warrants, exercisable at $.50 per share, to purchase the Company's common stock, with a 5-year term.
The Company and the shareholder agreed to convert $46,957 of interest payable on the notes payable to the shareholder into a total of 81,250 shares of common stock in lieu of payments due.
Conversion of Commissions Payable
In April 2003, an employee of the Company agreed to convert $39,000 of commissions payable to him by the Company into 78,000 shares of common stock at $.50 per share.

Plan of Operation
We are not currently able to satisfy our ongoing cash requirements and will have to raise significant additional funds in the next three months in order to continue to operate our business. We have experienced difficulties meeting our payroll obligations and making timely payments to our existing creditors and expect to significantly reduce the total number of employees and close a significant number of our offices and limited partnerships in the next three months in an effort to reduce our total operating expenses. In addition, we are currently not in compliance with the debt covenants under our existing financing agreements and have failed to file required employee payroll tax returns. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional or adequate financing in the next three months or that we will be able to comply with our debt covenants under our existing financing agreements or arrange for satisfactory payment of the employee payroll taxes. A failure to obtain additional and adequate financing, comply with the debt covenants under our existing financing agreements, or arrange for payment of the delinquent employee payroll taxes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business, and results of operations.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
Our principal sources of mortgage banking revenues are gains from the sale of mortgage loans, which are derived based on the secondary capital market pricing and borrower-paid fees earned on these loans. Availent also derives a portion of its revenues from the brokering of loans funded through our private lending partners. Availent also generates revenues from limited partnership-paid general partner fees and loan origination and processing fees. Loan origination and processing fee revenues have historically represented a significant percentage of our total revenues.
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $159,576 from $49,803 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $209,379 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. However, management believes that a comparison of revenues from the first quarter of 2002 to the same period in 2003 is not meaningful because we operated as a mortgage broker only during the first quarter of 2002 and commenced our mortgage banking operations after the first quarter of 2002 and that revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results because we have closed, or intend to close within the next three months, a significant number of our offices and limited partnerships that existed during this quarterly period. There can be no guarantee that we will not have to close additional offices and limited partnerships or that we will be able to replace the revenue previously generated by our closed offices and limited partnerships with increased loan volume at our remaining offices and limited partnerships or newly opened offices and limited partnerships.
Salaries and Related Expenses. Salaries and related expenses increased $402,674 from $174,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $576,882 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to the increased number of offices and limited partnerships from approximately six as of March 31, 2002 to 17 as of March 31, 2003 and the corresponding increase in the total number of employees from approximately 10 as of March 31, 2002 to 40 as of March 31, 2003.
Commissions. Commissions increased $76,631 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $76,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the hiring of employees with commission-based compensation subsequent to the quarterly period ended March 31, 2002.
2
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased $686,930 from $427,725 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $1,114,655 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the creation and development of our in-house loan-processing department and expenses related to the opening of additional offices.
Warehouse Interest. Warehouse interest increased $18,877 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $18,877 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 due to the establishment of our mortgage banking operations.
Occupancy and Other Office Expenses. Occupancy and other office expenses increased $30,311 from $12,622 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $42,933 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to the increased number of offices and limited partnerships from approximately six as of March 31, 2002 to 17 as of March 31, 2003. Other office expenses include rent, telephone, and miscellaneous office expenses.
Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $1,215,423 million from $614,555 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $1,829,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to increase in the total number of offices and limited partnerships and the general increase in loan volumes. We intend to focus on reducing our total operating expenses in the remainder of fiscal 2003 including, without limitation, by reducing the total number of offices, limited partnerships, and employees.
Interest Expense—Other. Interest expense-other increased $95,804 from $45,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $141,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the establishment of our mortgage loaning operations and increased borrowings under our credit facilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Availent's sources of liquidity include cash from the sale of mortgage loans, borrowings under its warehouse line of credit and other credit facilities, and the sale of debt and equity securities in private transactions. Availent's uses of cash include the funding of mortgage loans, repayment of amounts borrowed under warehouse and other lines of credit, salaries and commissions, other operating expenses, payment of interest, and capital expenditures primarily comprised of furniture, fixtures, computer equipment, software, and leasehold improvements.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $608,677 and $391,977 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for quarterly periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 was primarily from borrowings under our existing financing agreements.
Net cash used in operating activities was $594,675 and $544,147 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Availent has a warehouse line of credit that provides for borrowings up to $5.0 million for the interim financing of mortgage loans with WarehouseOne. The line may only be used to fund mortgage loans in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the loans must have purchase commitments before any amounts may be drawn against the line. The line of credit is subject to interest at the greater of LIBOR plus 4% per annum or the Federal Funds rate plus 4% per annum. Interest is increased by 4% and principal is reduced by 5% if the loan is not purchased within 45 days of acquisition date. The line is collateralized by a security interest in and to all of Availent's right, title, and interest in each mortgage loan pledged to Availent, each purchase commitment in existence, and the proceeds of the
3
foregoing. The warehouse line of credit is subject to termination at the discretion of WarehouseOne. Upon expiration of the warehouse line of credit, Availent believes it will be able to either renew the warehouse line of credit or obtain other sufficient financing. The warehouse line of credit agreement generally requires Availent to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. Failure to comply with these, or any other covenants, could result in the obligation to repay all amounts then outstanding. Availent has not been able to maintain the required tangible net worth or debt leverage ratios, as defined in the warehouse lending agreement, and has failed to comply with other covenants under the warehouse line of credit. Availent's failure to file and pay timely payroll tax returns also violates the warehouse line of credit. These factors could cause the loss of the warehouse line and impact future loan agreements, as well as future warehouse lending agreements.
Availent also has various loan agreements with Bergstrom Investment Management, L.L.C. for total aggregate borrowings of $1.355 million. These borrowings have various interest rates. These loan agreements expire on on or about August 2003. Availent is in substantial compliance with all debt covenants under its agreements with Bergstrom.
On February 12, 2002, Availent issued a $375,000 convertible note to Bobby Lutz, which is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share and which is scheduled to mature on or about August 2003. The convertible note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and requires monthly interest payments. Availent is in compliance with all debt covenants under this note.
To maintain its FHA lending certification, Availent must also comply with certain net worth requirements for HUD. HUD requires an adjusted net worth of $250,000. Availent's current adjusted net worth for HUD requirement purposes, as of March 31, 2003, amounted to a deficit of $1,094,174. In addition, Availent is not currently in compliance with its annual reporting requirements with HUD. This net worth deficiency and non-reporting compliance could cause Availent to lose its FHA certification. The loss of the FHA certification could be detrimental to the operations and financial condition of Availent.
In addition, Availent failed to file the required employee payroll tax returns for the last two fiscal quarters of 2002. As a result, Availent has delinquent payroll tax liabilities and related estimated penalties and interest of approximately $464,000. Although Availent has not entered into any formal repayment agreements with the respective tax authorities, Availent plans to make these required payroll tax payments as soon as practicable.
Availent currently is unable to make timely payments to certain of its creditors, and has had to rely substantially on additional borrowings to fund its continuing operations and working capital needs. As of March 31, 2003, Availent had past due accounts payables and accrued expenses in the amount of approximately $1.35 million. Extensions have been offered and, in some cases, are being negotiated with certain of these creditors. If Availent is unable to make timely payments or is unable to negotiate extensions or favorable discounts and payment terms, Availent may not be able to fund its continuing operations and working capital needs and the operations, financial condition, and business of Availent may suffer materially or fail. Availent is currently seeking financing sources in order to fund Availent's outstanding payables and meet its ongoing trade obligations.
These factors raise substantial doubt about Availent's ability to continue as a going concern. Availent is attempting to increase revenues and reduce operating expenses in order to mitigate future losses and management is seeking to raise additional capital and to renegotiate certain liabilities in order to alleviate the working capital deficiency. However, there can be no assurance that Availent will be able to increase revenues, pay its payroll taxes or to raise additional capital.
Availent does not have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months. Availent will have to seek additional financing in
4
order to satisfy its existing and ongoing liquidity needs within the next three months. In addition, there can be no assurance that changes in the operating plans, the acceleration or modification of expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, or other events will not cause Availent to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated, prevent Availent from achieving its goals, or force additional office closings. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to Availent or at all.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Availent maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14(c) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports of Availent filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods. Availent's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that, as of the date of their evaluation, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at ensuring that the required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in the reports of Availent filed under the Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
Availent maintains a system of internal controls that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that the books and records of Availent accurately reflect Availent's transactions and that the established policies and procedures of Availent are followed. There were no significant changes to the internal controls of Availent or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of such internal controls by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. ubseq
