Notes to Financial Statements
The preparation of our financial statements in conformance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the
amounts to be reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The company prepares its financial reporting accounts on an accrual accounting basis. It
prepares its tax return using cash-basis accounting. Deferred taxes are not material and are not
recognized in the accounts. The firm faces a tax rate of 30% on income.
The company has no fixed assets. The firms premises, furniture, office equipment, and all
fittings are leased. Lease obligations are $215,000 for Years 7 through 10 and $135,000 for
Years 11 through 14.

4. We are exposed to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business and use
various methods to resolve these matters in a manner which we believe best serves the interest of
the firm. We do not believe any pending claim or action will have a material adverse effect on
the firm.

Company Risk Factors
Bastion Finance is exposed to several sources of risk in its ordinary course of business. These
include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and general business risk. Credit risk refers to
the potential that some of our customers may default on the loans we have made to them. This
risk is augmented by our focus on second mortgages and our concentration in a narrow market
segment. Interest rate risk means that we may not be able to maintain a profitable spread between
our cost of borrowing and the returns from lending. Liquidity risk arises because we borrow from
term depositors on maturities ranging from 6-18 months while our loans to developers may
extend for multiple years. General business risk is inherent in the competitive nature of our
industry. We cannot be assured that our term depositors or loan customers will continue to
conduct business with us rather than with one or more of our competitors. Bastion Finance is not
exposed to foreign exchange risk and does not engage in derivatives trading.
