NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES OPERATIONS
CLS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. is incorporated under the laws of the State of
Washington. The Company's primary business purpose is to engage in the
brokerage of loans and the purchase and sale of real estate contracts,
mortgages and deeds of trust. The company is also registered with the State
of Washington to sell securities involving mortgages, trust deeds and real
estate contracts.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES
The Company utilizes the allowance method of providing for losses on
uncollectible loans on overvalued real estate. Specific valuation of
allowances are provided for loans receivable when repayment becomes doubtful
and the amounts expected to be received in settlement of the loan are less
than the amount due.
Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when loans become ninety days
delinquent. Thereafter, no interest is taken into income unless received in
cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to resume
payments to principal and interest. Interest previously accrued but not
collected is charged against income at the time the loan is placed on
nonaccrual status.
Valuation allowances are provided for real estate loans held for sale when the
net realizable value of the property is less than its costs. Foreclosed
assets that are held for sale are carried at the lower of cost (recorded
amount at the date of foreclosure) or fair value less disposition costs.
Additions to the allowance are charged to expense.
SALES OF REAL ESTATE
Sales of real estate generally are accounted for under the full accrual
method. Under that method, gain is not recognized until the collectibility of
the sales price is reasonably assured and the earnings process is virtually
complete. When a sale does not meet the requirements for income recognition,
gain is deferred until those requirements are met.
LOAN ORIGINATION AND SERVICING FEES
Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are accounted for
under two methods. For loans held as investment the loan fees and direct
costs are amortized over the life of the loan. For loans which are held for
sale loan fees and direct costs are not recorded until the loans are sold by
the company.
Loan servicing fees are charged at a flat rate of $250 per loan and $20 per
month over the servicing of the loan. Loan fees are paid by the borrower.
Loan fees vary from two up to eight percent depending upon collateral and the
credit history of the borrower.

<PAGE>
Part 1
Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
PLAN OF OPERATION AND LIQUIDITY
The sale of debenture investments and the sale of previously held loans
receivable to Investors, combined with principal payments on loan receivable
provide the source of funds to invest in loans receivable. For the nine
months ended Sept 30, 1997 sale of debentures under the SB-2 registration
approved May 3, 1996 were $2,258,890. The company has no nonearning assets at
this time primarily due to a major emphasis on collection policies by
management. Available liquidity will dictate the volume of loan purchases
that may be acquired by the Company.
The interest received on loans and funding fees provide the funds necessary to
pay the expenses and interest due to investors on debenture purchases. The
company manages its cash by reselling the loans to other investors in order to
recapture the original debenture investment which will in turn be used again
to fund other loans. The company expects to continue the present cash
management procedures for the foreseeable future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The quarter ended Sept 30, 1997 also reflects a net income of $20,298. Set
forth below are the key results from operation for the quarter ended Sept 30,
1997 and Sept 30, 1996.
1. THE COMPANY MET ITS OBLIGATION TO THE INVESTORS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
SEPT 30, 1997 AND SEPT 30, 1996.
The company strives to be investor oriented, servicing the investor is of
utmost importance, timely payments to the investor is a standard operating
procedure, all investors received interest and/or principal payments as
agreed.
2. THE SALE OF DEBENTURE INVESTMENTS AND LOAN RECEIVABLE TO INVESTORS PROVIDES
THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO FUND MORE LOANS.
Total loans receivable (including related party) increased by 48%, as a direct
result of the sale of debenture investments and loans receivable. Management
expects this trend to taper as the sale of this debenture offering is almost
complete. However, the demand for loans receivable to purchase by investors
continues to be very high. Management expects loan growth to increase to 10%
average over 1997.
3. REVENUES INCREASE
Total revenues for the quarter ended Sept 30, 1997 increased by $40,105, a 3%
rise over quarter end Sept 30, 1996. A major focus has been placed on revenue
generation with the restructuring of the loan department including a dynamic
sales manager. The subsequent loan volume has increased by the direct focus
on loan volume, both brokered and in-house lending. This is evidenced by the
current loans in process since Sept 30,1997. The fourth quarter for CLS
Financial Services is projected to be the best quarter yet for loan revenue.
The month of October has already proved to be the best month for loan revenue
in the history of the company. The company's principle performance objective
is to provide an annual increase in net income.
<PAGE>
4. TYPE OF PROPERTY SECURING LOANS RECEIVABLE HAS CHANGED.
As of Sept 30, 1997, 99% of loans receivable portfolio was secured by a first
lien on real property. Management projects that a continued high percentage
of loans will be secured in this manner.
5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES DECREASED 1% FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30,
1997. Actual losses charged against the allowance for periods ending Sept 30,
1997 and Sept 30, 1996 were 0 and 0 respectively. Management reviews each
delinquent loan receivable and real estate property held for sale to determine
if a specific provision in the allowance for losses is needed. Management uses
a systematic approach to evaluate the need for general allowances based
upon portfolio performance, industry trends, economic conditions, and
historical trends.
6. TOTAL EXPENSES INCREASED BY 11% FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPT 30, 1997.
Total expenses ending Sept 30, 1997 increased by $142,862 from Sept 30, 1996.
This was largely due to increases in salaries and employer taxes relating to
the increase in sales staff and to interest expense which increased due to a
larger investor base as the debentures have been sold.
RETURN ON ASSETS, EQUITY, AND EQUITY TO ASSETS RATIO
The following net returns were realized during the nine months ended Sept 30,
1997 and Sept 30, 1996.
Nine months ended Sept 30,
1997 1996
Return on assets
(net income divided by average total asset) .37% 3.11%
Return on equity
(net income divided by average equity) 1.81% 23.70%
Equity to assets
(average equity divided by average assets 20.70% 13.12%
PLAN OF OPERATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
The company is committed to continue to offer debentures and loan receivable
for sale to the public for the foreseeable future. Management expects loan
growth through the sale of these items to increase conservatively by 10%.
The company expects to repay the debenture investments as they mature with
maturing loans receivable that are tied exclusively to this debenture offering
notes or to sell a complete loan to an investor as a mortgage broker dealer.
The company has been able to invest primarily all available funds through
loans receivable. The company expects to continue to acquire similar loans in
the future. Loan purchases will be limited by available liquidity as
discussed in "Plan of Operation and Liquidity". Some of the available funds
for loan receivable have temporarily routed to a related party. This loan is
scheduled to be repaid by December 31, 1997. The loan is directly tied to
real estate owned and is secured by a 1st lien on these properties. The sale
of these properties has already begun with eight sales closed already. There
are approximately five other pending sales. Other sales are promising as the
market for these properties is very good.
<PAGE>
The company actively pursues delinquent accounts and immediately sells any
foreclosed property thus having no nonearning receivables. Management's
strategy and policy has been to retain loans with a loan to value ratio of no
more than 65%. Every effort is made to assure profitability even in the event
of a foreclosure sale.
The company forecasts a stable demand for its services in the foreseeable
future, evidenced by the daily loan inquiries, portfolio performance,
subsequent loans closed after Sept 30, 1997 and the attractive real estate
market in which the company services.
UNCERTAINTIES
The principle competition for investors' funds due to change in market rates
may result in investors choosing to change their portfolios when it comes to
loan receivable purchases. This does not affect the debenture securities
because they are for a preset period of time.
The loan portfolio consists of loans with maturities of one to three years.
As loans mature and balloon payments are paid, new loans are expected to be
funded at present market rates. It is possible that a one to three year lag
could occur before the overall average of the portfolio's interest rate
increased after a rise in market rates.
Part 2
Item 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The company is not presently involved nor does it expect to be involved in any
legal proceeding, excepting collection action on loans that are in default.
Since the company is involved in purchasing loans secured by real property, it
will, by its nature, always be involved in collection activities to enforce
collection on past due accounts, including but not limited to judicial and
nonjudicial foreclosure on deeds of trust, and mortgage foreclosures. Counsel
for the Company is of the opinion that collection actions on delinquent
accounts does not constitute pending or threatening litigation under Financial
Accounting Standard Board Opinion Number 5 (FASB 5) and is properly
categorized as routine litigation incidental to its business.
