Additionally, we remain on course to eliminate all legacy expenses of Crossroads by fiscal year end."

Dear Shareholder:

The third quarter brought some important recognition of our social enterprise and its importance to our customers and communities we serve. Capital Plus Financial (CPF) was recognized by B Corp as one of the Best for World 2018 for its commitment to our customers. Additionally, D CEO Magazine announced it was one of three finalists for best mid-size Latino business in North Texas.

As stated in prior quarters, management is focused on settling all legacy operations and expenses of Crossroads. To that end, the settlement announced with Dot Hill and continued reduction of holding company ongoing expenses were important steps in this direction.

CPF celebrated a major milestone as we surpassed $100MM in mortgage notes held on our balance sheet. For the third quarter, CPF generated $2.6 million in interest income from its $101 million fixed rate conventional mortgage portfolio and $5.8 million sales from the sale of properties in low to moderate income census tracts. Sales for the quarter reflect seasonality typically found in home sale cycles. Thus, the reduction in home sales for the quarter is expected and the company's quarters will reflect typical seasonal trends for the industry. The operating income for the quarter was $2.6 million. CPF's unadjusted leverage was 2.53x at July 31, 2018, and the consolidated cash coverage ratio, adjusted for one-time and transaction expenses for the same period, was 1.86x.

CPF applied for the FY 2018 CDFI Fund Bond Guarantee Program by the July 12, 2018 application deadline. We encourage any shareholders to read more about this incredible program on the CDFI Fund's website – www.cdfifund.gov. CPF has also applied for membership into the Federal Home Loan Bank system cooperative of eligible banks, credit unions, savings institutions, CDFIs and insurance companies. As a member, the company would have access to competitively priced financing and other banking services. Moreover, the partnership is a perfect fit given the synergistic missions of each institution.

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 July 31, 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.

Saludos Cordiales,

Robert H. Alpert & Eric A. Donnelly
