Management Commentary

Eric A. Donnelly, Chief Executive Officer at Crossroads Systems, said, "We worked diligently in the first year of the assimilated businesses to reduce the holding company expenses to very efficient levels and the year over year improvement in Crossroads' quarterly earnings reflect that. As it has historically done, Capital Plus spent the first quarter of 2019 building inventory for the busy spring sales season. Our first quarter is typically our slowest sales period but demand for our affordable housing as well as mortgage demand and performance remain consistent year over year as we continue to build long term shareholder value."

Dear Shareholder:

The first quarter is historically our seasonally slowest sales quarter as CPF builds its inventory of rehabilitated homes to be ready for the busy spring sales season in Texas. As previously stated, the exit of indiscriminate rent to own funds has allowed the company to build well priced inventory in order to meet one of the core missions – to provide an affordable home in densely urban MSAs of Texas.

CPF's outstanding mortgage balance portfolio continued to grow at its historical pace and is currently at $110 million. For the first quarter, CPF generated $2.8 million in interest income from its $110 million fixed rate conventional mortgage portfolio and $4.3 million sales from the sale of properties in low to moderate income census tracts. Again, the winter months are inventory building months vs robust home sales periods. This mirrors industry cycles. The consolidated operating income for the quarter was approximately $690K before accruing for a non-cash tax provision of $62K. The net income after the provision for was $627K. Note the Company offsets this provision against its deferred tax asset of $21.6M. At January 31, 2019, CPF's unadjusted leverage was 2.46x and the consolidated cash coverage ratio, adjusted for one-time and transaction expenses was 2.57x.

CPF as a certified CDFI is eligible to apply for the CDFI's Annual Bond Guarantee Program. Applications were due on February 25^th and CPF has applied. We encourage any shareholders to read more about this incredible program on the CDFI Fund's website – www.cdfifund.gov. As a CDFI, CPF is also eligible for membership into the Federal Home Loan Bank System and is continuing to complete its membership application.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Crossroads, the financials are presented on a consolidated basis (supplementary schedules are included for reference). The expenses at the holding company (Crossroads) level have been reduced to essential operating expenses and interest expense on the original acquisition loan. Crossroads and CPF continue to focus on impacting communities and delivering long term shareholder value while operating at efficiency expense ratios.

We thank you for your support of our social enterprise.

Saludos Cordiales,

Robert H. Alpert & Eric A. Donnelly
