These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Availent Financial, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Texas in December, 2000, but had no activity until February, 2001. The Company wholly owns the following subsidiaries: Availent Mortgage, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Mortgage) and Availent Leasing, Inc. (Leasing).
Availent Mortgage, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Texas in December, 2000 but had no activity until February, 2001 and originates single-family residential mortgage loans in Texas and the Southwestern United States. Mortgage is certified as an FHA Non-Supervised, Title II Loan Correspondent by the Office of Housing and Urban Development. As of December 31, 2001, Mortgage has a majority interest in seven limited liability partnerships that secure mortgages which are processed by Mortgage. Mortgage accounts for its investments in these partnerships utilizing the consolidated method of accounting.
Availent Leasing, Inc. purchases and, subsequently, leases computer and related equipment to affiliated partnerships.
The accompanying financial statements have been restated from previously issued financial statements (dated March 6, 2002) to reflect certain adjustments and reclassifications to various asset, liability and income and expense accounts.
Basis of Accounting
The Company maintains its records and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Availent Financial, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments (primarily cash and cash equivalents, loans held for sale, receivables, payables and borrowings) are carried in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at amounts that reasonably approximate fair value.
Account Receivables
Account receivables represent amounts owed to the Company as of December 31, 2001. An allowance is established for accounts whose collection is uncertain. At December 31, 2001, there were no accounts receivable.
8
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over three to seven years while accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense for the period ended December 31, 2001 totaled $9,026.
Expenditures for additions, major renewals, and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Revenue Recognition
Currently, loans are negotiated for sale with permanent investors prior to the closing of the loan and as such, no mortgages are held for sale. As of December 31, 2001 the Company has no correspondent relationship with any financial institution. Gains on sales of loans are recognized at the loan closing which corresponds to the sale date. Commitment fees, points and premium fees are earned and recognized as revenue when the loans are closed and sold to these permanent investors.
Fees received from borrowers to reimburse the lender for the costs of specific loan origination services performed by third parties, such as appraisal fees, are recognized as revenue when the services have been performed. The related costs of the third parties (approximately 14%) and employees’ payroll and fringe benefit costs are included in cost of revenues. All other lending-related costs are included in operating expenses.
Advertising Costs
All costs related to advertising are expensed in the period incurred. Total advertising expense for the period ended December 31, 2001 was $18,180.
NOTE 2 — CASH CONCENTRATION
At various times throughout the year, the Company may maintain bank deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $100,000.
9
NOTE 3 — MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” with the Company’s securities classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with the change in fair value during the year excluded from earning and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses are determined by specific identification and are charged or credited to earnings.
Marketable securities are summarized as follows at December 31, 2001:
| | Gross Unrealized Gains | | Fair Market Value | |
| | | | | |
Equity Securities | | $ | 285,983 | | $ | 659,961 | |
| | | | | | | |
The Company’s portfolio as of December 31, 2001 consists of one security, Advance Technologies, Inc. SFAS 115 requires that available-for-sale securities be reported at their fair market value based on the over the counter price at the end of the year. This security was acquired through a note payable valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of the security at the date of acquisition (i.e., $373,978). Effective December 2002, the Company may either return the security, pay the outstanding note of $373,978, or extend the transaction date for an additional period of time.
NOTE 4 — OTHER ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of certain customer lists and licensing agreements acquired from a founder for common and preferred stock of the Company and are being amortized over a five and three year period, respectively. Such assets were capitalized at amounts which approximate the predecessor’s cost. Amortization expense for the period ended December 31, 2001 totaled $15,139.
Deferred financing commitment costs acquired from a founder for common and preferred stock of the Company are being amortized over a three-year period. For the period ended December 31, 2001, $26,680 of amortization is reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as interest expense.
NOTE 5 — NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable consist of the following at December 31, 2001:
Line of Credit - Bank (interest rate at 9%, due March, 2002, secured by equipment and furniture and fixtures) | | $ | 50,000 | |
| | | |
Individuals (1 note, interest rate at 9%, due in October, 2002, unsecured) | | 373,978 | |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 423,978 | |
10
Interest expense on all notes payable including those to stockholders and officers (see Note 10) totaled $70,056 for the period ended December 31, 2001 and accrued interest expense of $63,706 is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Issuance of Common Stock for Consulting Services
In March 2001, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for promotion and investor relations. In exchange for services rendered the consultant received 15,940 shares of the Company’s common stock which has been valued at $688 and has been expensed in the statement of operations at December 31, 2001. The agreement with the consultant has since been terminated as of December 11, 2001.
NOTE 7 — CAPITAL LEASE
The Company is the lessee of computers under a capital lease that expires in 2004. The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments. Such assets valued at $12,690 are being depreciated over the related lease term, which approximates the estimated productive life. Depreciation expense on these assets totaled $3,525 for the period ended December 31, 2001 and is included in depreciation expense in the accompanying financial statements.
The following is a summary of future minimum lease payments during the next three years:
Year Ending December 31, | | | | |
| | | |
2002 | | $ | 5,727 | |
2003 | | 5,286 | |
2004 | | 881 | |
| | | |
| | 11,894 | |
| | | |
Less: Interest Included in Lease Payments | | (1,863 | ) |
| | | |
Net Present Value of Future Minimum Lease Payments | | 10,031 | |
| | | |
Less: Current Portion | | (4,409 | ) |
Long-Term Portion | | $ | 5,622 | |
11
NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income tax in accordance with SFAS No. 109. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. When management determines that it is likely that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company has available approximately $30,000 of unused net operating loss carry forwards that may be applied against future taxable income and that expire in various years to 2021. The Company’s net operating loss generated a deferred tax benefit of approximately $9,600; however, due to the uncertainty of its ultimate recognition, a valuation allowance has been established equal to the benefit.
The difference between the loss from operations and the tax loss carry forward results primarily from recognition of equity losses of subsidiaries and certain professional fees for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes.

However, the effect of such operating losses and constraints and the long-term impact on the Company’s operations and financial condition is unknown.

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.

In March of 2002, the Company negotiated and obtained a $500,000 loan.

This activity would facilitate an anticipated public offering in 2003. The remaining proceeds will be used for operating purposes.
