Dear Shareholder:

We continued to make significant progress toward improving Crossroads' opportunity for value creation in the fiscal second quarter of 2018. Several key strategic actions provide the foundation for delivering shareholder value.

The acquisition continues to be accretive to the business. For the second quarter, Capital Plus Financial (CPF) generated $2.4 million in interest income from its $98 million fixed rate conventional mortgage portfolio and $7.4 million sales from the sale of properties in low to moderate income census tracts. The operating income for the quarter was $2.3 million. CPF continues to have strong leverage and cash coverage ratios which are of particular emphasis to its lenders. At April 30, 2018, CPF's debt service coverage (leverage) ratio was 2.50 and its cash coverage ratio, adjusted for one-time and transaction expenses, was 1.80.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Crossroads, the financials are presented on a consolidated basis (supplementary schedules are included for reference). The year to date financials include CPF's financials from December 19, 2017 to April 30, 2018. Please note the initial accounting for the acquisition of CPF has not yet been finalized; accordingly, the purchase price allocation contains balances that could differ from the balances reported upon completion.

The impact of the acquisition of CPF has been tremendous. Not only is the company a leader in growing markets and delivering meaningful profitability to its shareholders, but equally important is its impact on the communities so often overlooked by traditional financial sources. As a for-profit social enterprise, CPF is uniquely positioned to serve the needs of low to moderate income Hispanic homebuyers. In closing, thank you for your ownership of Crossroads stock.

Saludos Cordiales,

Robert H. Alpert & Eric A. Donnelly
