Business Information  
Item 8) The nature of the issuer’s business.  
A. Business Development. 
Crossroads Systems Inc., (OTCQX: CRSS) was an intellectual property licensing company headquartered in Austin, 
Texas. Founded in 1996 as a product solutions company, CRSS created some of the storage industry's most 
fundamental patents and has licensed patents to more than 50 companies since 2000. CRSS’s fiscal year-end is October 
31. 
On August 13, 2017, the Company filed for re-organization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (the 
“Plan”) which had been accepted by the holders of more than 2/3 of the preferred shares of the Company. In connection 
with the filing, the Company entered into restructuring support agreements with 210/CRDS Investment LLC ("210") 
and with certain holders of the Company's series F preferred stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and 
the restructuring support agreement with 210, Dallas-based 210 invested $4 million cash in the Company in exchange 
for shares of the reorganized Company's common stock representing approximately 49.49% of the common stock of 
the reorganized Company. In addition, 210 committed to provide up to $10 million of financing for the Company to 
use (subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the 210 RSA) to implement its strategy of monetizing its 
intellectual property assets and pursuing investments in companies that generate profit and positive cash flows, thus 
creating long-term shareholder value. The Plan provided for the payment of all creditor claims in full, for holders of 
preferred shares to receive their pro rata share of $2.7 million in cash plus 8% of the common stock of the reorganized 
Company, and for holders of common stock to exchange their existing shares of common stock for an equivalent 
number of new shares of the common stock of the reorganized Company, which shares would constitute approximately 
 
 

 
 
42.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the reorganized Company. The Plan was approved by the Court 
on September 18, 2017 and effective October 3, 2017, The Company was delisted from the Nasdaq exchange to the 
Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Pink Sheets on September 10, 2017, 10 days after the exchange filed its Form 25. 
On December 18, 2017, Crossroads Systems Inc., closed on the acquisition of 100% of the common equity of Capital 
Plus Financial, LLC (“CPF”), a Texas based community development financial institution (“CDFI”), $30.8 million in 
cash and 49.5% or 2,955,028 of newly issued common stock.  This transaction did not trigger any change of control, 
however, did grant CPF owners/management two board seats. 
On September 14, 2021, Crossroads entered into an advisory agreement with Enhanced Capital Group, an investment 
firm committed to socially responsible investment initiatives and impact manager of P10 Holdings, Inc ("P10"), a 
leading, specialized multi-asset class private markets solutions provider. 
On September 24, 2021, Crossroads acquired Rise Line Business Credit, LLC (“RLBC”) a nationwide asset-based 
lending firm that provides innovative working capital solutions.  This transaction did not trigger any change of control 
or change in board seats. 
On December 16, 2021, Crossroads reached an agreement in principle to acquire Fountainhead, a leading national, 
non-bank, direct commercial lender specializing in business financing for small to midsize businesses.  The deal 
remains subject to the consent of and final approval by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and is expected to 
close in the first half of 2022.   
As of the date of this report, Crossroads is currently involved in the following litigation. 
Greathouse v. Capital Plus Financial, LLC and Crossroads Systems, Inc. 
 
On December 29, 2021, Eric Greathouse filed a case in the Eastern District of Arkansas against the Company and 
Capital Plus Financial, LLC (“CPF”) on behalf of himself and a putative nationwide class of Paycheck Protection 
Program (“PPP”) borrowers, who allegedly timely applied for PPP loans with Defendant CPF as the lender and who 
had their loans approved by the SBA but did not receive the PPP loan proceeds. The action asserts breach of contract 
and unjust enrichment against the defendants in connection with his and the putative class’s claims. The Company 
denies allegations of any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend the case. 
  
Oto Analytics, Inc. D/B/A Womply v. Capital Plus Financial, LLC, Crossroads Systems, Inc., Eric Donnelly, 
Ba Fin Orion, LLC d/b/a Blueacorn, and Barry Calhoun 
  
On September 9, 2021, Womply commenced this action in the 95th Judicial District Court Dallas County TX (docket 
number DC-21-13097), which the Company and other defendants removed to the Northern District of Texas. 
Following removal and an amendment of their original complaint on December 23, 2021, the case alleges various 
torts, including fraud and tortious interference with contract, in connection with Womply’s allegations regarding its 
entitlement to the fees Womply allegedly earned by creating and providing technology infrastructure for the federal 
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The Company denies allegations of any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously 
defend the case. 
In 2018, the Company settled two outstanding legal matters dating back to 2013, and prior management and business 
lines since shuttered as part of the reorganization into a financial holding company. The matters were related to the 
Crossroads patent business and royalties owed to the Company.   
 
 
 

 
 
B. Business of Issuer.  
Crossroads primary and secondary SIC Codes are 6712.  
Crossroads Systems Inc., (OTCQX: CRSS), is a holding company focused on investing in businesses that promote 
economic vitality and community development. Crossroads’ subsidiary, Capital Plus Financial (CPF), is a certified 
Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and certified B-Corp that supports Hispanic homeownership 
with a long-term, fixed-rate single-family mortgage product. CPF was acquired on December 18, 2017.  
Crossroads’ primary subsidiary is Capital Plus Financial. CPF was originally formed in 1992 to provide mortgage 
financing within the state of Texas. Throughout its life, CPF has evolved to serve the Hispanic population by providing 
credit that is otherwise unavailable. 
CPF has injected over $250 million into under-served communities and populations in Texas. CPF is committed to 
continuing to serve communities in which it has a history of 25 years, as well as expanding its reach to serve its 
expanding customer base. 
The other integral part of the CPF’s mission is to provide affordable housing. This is done through the substantial 
rehabilitation of blighted homes in low to moderate-income areas. Through this process, communities are improved 
and housing that is safe and sustainable is provided to hundreds of people a year looking to make their way up the 
socio-economic ladder.  
Crossroads advisory agreement with Enhanced Capital Group (“ECG”) will immediately expand CPF’s credit assets 
and is expected to infuse more than $250 million into emerging communities across the country over the next 12 to 
18 months by leveraging ECG’s deep experience investing in small businesses and projects that spur job creation; 
promote environmental sustainability; support women, minority, and veteran-owned enterprises; and stimulate 
underserved communities. The agreement allows for significant loan growth to be booked on CPF’s balance sheet and 
in return, ECG will receive a management and incentive fee. The company targets ECG-originated assets, in aggregate 
and with proper financing in place, to yield in excess of 20% return on equity for Crossroads, while dramatically 
expanding its impact footprint. 
 
Crossroads acquired RLBC in September 2021, a nationwide asset-based lending firm that provides innovative 
working capital solutions. Through this transaction, Crossroads anticipates being able to provide better accessibility 
to banking for small businesses and assist in their transition into the conventional banking system where many are 
currently underserved. The merger also expands Crossroads’ impact product offering to small businesses that are in 
asset-heavy sectors such as manufacturing, distribution, retail and consumer products, business services, staffing, and 
technology services. 
The consolidated company currently has 34 full-time employees between Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San 
Antonio. The financial results of Crossroads are consolidated and include the operating results of CPF and RLBC. 
The Company has not at any time been a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, and Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  
As with any operating company, we are subject to a growing number of local, national, and international laws and 
regulations. These laws are often complex and are frequently changing. Changing or growing regulations could impose 
additional compliance burdens and costs on us and could subject us to significant liability for any failure to comply.  
 
 
 

 
 
Item 9  
The nature of the products or services offered 
The nature of products or services offered.  
Through our subsidiary, CPF’s core business is to provide mortgage financing to Hispanic homeowners within the 
state of Texas. CPF achieves this via purchasing blighted, single-family homes in low to moderate-income areas within 
the state. It then renovates and refurbishes these properties and sells them to the Hispanic community. The targeted 
homes are generally 900 to 1,400 sq. ft., 2-3 bedrooms, and currently range in value from $100,000 to $175,000 (after 
renovations).  
 
Typically, targeted properties meet some or all of the following criteria:  
• 
Outdated, especially the kitchens and bathrooms; 
• 
Little current curb appeal; 
• 
Atypical layouts or features that turn buyers away; 
• 
Not well maintained;  
• 
Sellers looking for a quick sale; and 
• 
Sellers seeking a cash buyer, who is not reliant upon financing contingencies. 
While there is natural competition from community banks on the financing side of the business, there are multiple 
factors that have kept this to a minimum, including but not limited to bank compliance regulation costs, borrower 
distrust of the banking system, and small balance size of the mortgages provided.  
During fiscal 2021, CPF actively participated in the second round of the Cares Act implementation of the Paycheck 
Protection Program (“PPP”) through the United States Department of the Treasury and SBA. PPP loans have an 
interest rate of 1.0%; principal and interest payments are deferred for nine months from the date of disbursement; a 
five-year loan term to maturity for loans made on or after June 5, 2020 (loans made prior to June 5, 2020, have a two-
year term, however, borrowers and lenders may mutually agree to extend the maturity for such loans to five years); 
and is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. CPF was in the top 5 lenders in the country. 
CPF is, as are all regulated lending institutions, dependent on the continued regulatory approval of our loan offerings. 
We comply with the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending regulations as well as federal lending 
guidelines. We subject ourselves to annual compliance, fair lending, and servicing audits to ensure that our procedures 
remain in compliance and are kept abreast of the latest regulatory changes.  
Our subsidiary RLBC’s core business is to provide financing solutions across a wide array of industries, including 
manufacturing, distribution, logistics, transportation, retail and consumer, business services, staffing, and technology 
services. RLBC provides customized lending solutions to businesses seeking an alternative to the traditional bank and 
non-bank lenders that cannot meet their capital and service needs. 
RLBC’s client solutions typically include asset-based revolving lines of credit and senior secured term loans with loan 
facilities ranging from $2M to $15M with the ability to agent and syndicate larger transactions. RLBC offers 
customized loan structures, providing liquidity by monetizing both traditional working capital assets, such as inventory 
and accounts receivable, while also including real estate, machinery, and equipment and intangible assets as eligible 
collateral.   
RLBC maintains offices in New York and provides national coverage.

Operations  
Fiscal 2021 was a transformational year for the Company. CPF’s participation in the 2nd round of the Cares Act 
implementation of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) along with its partnership with ECG and Crossroads’ 
acquisition of RLBC expanded the Company’s footprint nationally and its commitment to community development.  
Participation in PPP resulted in total revenue from operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 of $930.6 
million compared to $36.6 million for the same period of 2020, or 2,440%. The Company did not have a significant 
impact from the ECG and RLBC transactions but expects to in the future.  Net operating income before taxes and 
minority interest for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 was $242.6 million compared to $5.0 million for the same 
period of 2020.   
Net Earnings Per Share  
Net earnings per share from operations before taxes and after minority interests for the year ended October 31, 2021 
was $36.27 compared to $0.74 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 representing an increase of 4,832% year 
over year primarily due to participating in the PPP.  RLBC’s impact was minimal as the merger was completed in 
mid-September.  
Gross Sales 
Gross income from the sale of recently rehabilitated homes was $21.4 million for the year ended October 31, 2021, 
compared to $23.5 million for the year ended October 31, 2020.  The decrease in gross sales was the result of lower 
unit sales due to a tight housing market which was offset by higher sales prices for the fiscal year ended October 31, 
2021. 
Interest income as reported was $40.3 million compared to $12.6 million in 2020.  Interest income generated from the 
Company’s mortgage note receivable portfolio increased to $13.4 million for the year ended October 31, 2021 
compared to $12.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2020.  The increase was the result of growth in the total 
mortgage note receivable portfolio during the year. The additional increase of $26.9 million was from CPF’s 
participation in PPP.  As of October 31, 2021, the Company did not have any forbearance agreements in place from 
the prior year where it has 234 borrowers in forbearance.   
Processing fee income generated from the Company’s participation in PPP was  $868.4 million for the year ended 
October 31, 2021. PPP loans generate interest income of one percent per annum until the loans are forgiven. The 
Company had no such revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.   
Cost of Goods Sold  
The cost of goods sold related to the sale of homes decreased by 10% to $18.3 million for the fiscal year ended October 
31, 2021 from $20.3 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The decrease was the result of fewer home 
sales and costs on those homes during fiscal year 2021.  
Cost of goods sold includes all the direct costs of the inventory sold as well as the costs related to the rehabilitation of 
the homes sold.  In addition, cost of goods sold includes carrying costs of all the properties sold and inventory on 
hand. 
The second component of the cost of goods sold is the interest expense on the mortgage note receivable portfolio. The 
interest expense related to the mortgage portfolio was $4.8 million for the year ended October 31, 2021 compared to 
$5.7 million for the year ended October 31, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a lower debt 
balance and continued lower rates. The remaining interest expense of $10.4 million was associated with the PPP and 
interest paid on the loan facility.   

 
 
Processing fee expense related to PPP was $628.1 million for the year ended October 31, 2021. Interest expense on 
the Federal PPP Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) on the PPP loans is 35 bps per annum. The Company had no such 
expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. These fees were paid to the Company’s lending service partners.   
Operating Expenses  
Total operating expenses (general administrative and salaries/wages) increased approximately $2.2 million from $4.8 
million from the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 to $7.0 million for the year ended October 31, 2021.  Operating 
expenses as a percentage of total revenues, net of PPP revenue and expense increased from 13.3% for the fiscal year 
ended October 31, 2020 to 18.9% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.  The increase in operating expenses was 
primarily due to one-time performance related employee and board bonuses of $960,000, a breakup fee of $250,000 
to FSB Rice for withdrawing our application to acquire FSB Rice, and a non-cash stock option expense of $183,000. 
In addition, legal fees expense increased as we negotiated the Enhanced Advisory Agreement and the acquisition of 
RLBC. 
Operating expenses consist primarily of the following: compensation, sales and marketing, technology, legal, 
professional fees, insurance, and other operating expenses. 
The Company incurred an employee and management bonus expense for the year ended October 31, 2021, totaling 
$20.8 million which includes a $3 million accrual. The Company had no such expense for the year ended October 31, 
2021. 
Other Income/Expense  
The other interest expense relates to interest from acquisition debt.  Total other interest expenses decreased by 
$257,000 from the October 31, 2020 fiscal year-end to the October 31, 2021 fiscal year-end due to a declining interest 
rate and lower debt balance.  The total debt repayment of the acquisition debt for the fiscal year was $4.6 million.  
Liquidity and Capital Resources  
We define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand at the subsidiary level and 
to operate on an ongoing basis. Our liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, 
receipt of pre-paid and maturing balances in our loan portfolios, debt financing, and preferred equity investments.  
As of October 31, 2021, CPF had lines of credit available with its current banking partners in excess of $7.8 million 
in addition to cash on hand. We continue to monitor our financings needs. 
The Company also offers a Preferred Equity instrument to its bank partners which is considered a qualified investment 
under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investment test for banks.  Banks purchase units of the preferred 
investment which generates cash for the Company and provides banks with an “innovative” investment, providing a 
more favorable CRA assessment from their regulators.  
Working Capital 
Mortgage Note Portfolio 
The mortgage note portfolio consists of $132.0 million of long term fixed, amortizing single-family residential 
mortgages in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and McAllen markets.  The Company provides a mortgage 
for the purchase of a property with an equity down payment from the potential buyer.  Our mortgage portfolio is 
comprised of first-time home buyers, and in over 60% of the cases, first-time credit recipients. We believe the risk 
associated with these borrowers is mitigated by their history of debt aversion. Plainly said, those who have shown the 
financial discipline to operate without debt should be rewarded and not punished as is often the case with a zero credit 
score borrower attempting to qualify for a mortgage. Each borrower is manually underwritten, and all are given the 

opportunity to demonstrably prove their ability to repay. A 43% debt to income (“DTI”) ratio is the maximum ratio 
for approved mortgages, but the average back-end DTI ratio in our portfolio is 29.6%, further reinforcing the quality 
of our borrowers. All mortgages are originated in house and are Qualified Mortgages (QM).  Our weighted average 
rate on the portfolio was 10.33% at October 31, 2021. 
The Company has a default rate below 3% per year and when it does take a property back into inventory, it is able to 
put it back into its rehab cycle and resell it.  Given its ability to rehab and resell the properties at a profit, the Company 
has determined a reserve for delinquent and defaulted mortgages is not necessary as of October 31, 2021.  
As of October 31, 2021, the Company had a mortgage note receivable balance of $132.0 million compared to $128.8 
million as of October 31, 2020.   
PPP Loan Portfolio 
During fiscal 2021, CPF funded approximately $6.3 billion in PPP loans with a stated interest rate of one percent and 
a five-year loan term.  The loans are unsecured and fully guaranteed by the SBA and are eligible for forgiveness.  As 
of the fiscal year ended, approximately 63% of the loans were forgiven and the outstanding loan balance was 
approximately $2.8 billion.  The loans are pledged to the federal reserve PPPLF and accrue interest at 35bps per 
annum.  As of October 31, 2021, the balance on the PPPLF was $3.1 billion. 
Inventory 
Inventory consists of properties that are currently undergoing remodeling or are being held for sale. Inventory includes 
the initial costs of acquiring the property, remodeling costs, real estate taxes, and other direct costs incurred while 
remodeling the property.  All indirect overhead costs, such as compensation of sales personnel, management, and 
advertising costs are charged to salaries and wages or other general and administrative expenses as incurred.   
The initial direct costs to acquire properties and remodeling costs account for approximately 86% of the cost of 
properties sold in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021.  As of October 31, 
2021, 60 properties were being remodeled and 34 were completed and held for sale.  Generally, the Company holds 
properties in inventory from acquisition to resale for 4 to 6 months. The increase is due to the recent shortage of 
materials. 
The Company regularly evaluates inventories that are slow-moving or incurring costs in excess of budgeted costs. The 
Company determined a reserve for slow-moving inventory was not necessary as of October 31, 2021.  
As of October 31, 2021, gross inventory was $10.2 million compared to $10.5 million as of October 31, 2020, a 
decrease of $300,000 or 3%. The decrease in inventory as of October 31, 2021 compared to October 31, 2020 is the 
result of lower inventory on hand. However, the company is starting to increase inventory to get homes ready for the 
upcoming Spring season of 2022.  
Revolving Credit Facility 
The Company has a revolving line of credit for the acquisition of properties and another for its mortgage loans.  The 
outstanding balance on the inventory line at October 31, 2021 was $6.4 million compared to $7.5 million at October 
31, 2020.  The decrease in outstanding balance is the result of decreasing inventories.  In addition, the Company has 
two lines totaling $3.0 million for new housing development projects.  The outstanding balance on these facilities was 
$600,000.     
The outstanding balance on the mortgage loan revolving credit facility was $43.2 million as of October 31, 2021, 
compared to $37.5 million as of October 31, 2020.  The Company paid off a term credit facility with an outstanding 
balance of approximately $16.0 million during the period.   

Cash Flows Provided by Operations 
Continuing Operations  
Net cash used by operating activities during the year ended October 31, 2021 was $2.3 billion compared to $1.0 million 
of net cash used for the year ended October 31, 2020. The main driver of cash usage was the funding of $2.8 billion 
in PPP loans during the year ended October 31, 2021. The PPP loans were funded through the PPPLF.   
Cash Flows Used in Investing and Financing Activities 
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended October 31, 2021 was $2.9 billion compared to $1.9 
million for the year ended October 31, 2020.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities was the result of 
drawing $6.4 billion on the federal reserve’s PPP loan facility during the year.  This facility had been reduced to $3.1 
billion for the year ended October 31, 2021. The PPPLF bears an interest of 35 bps per year.   
There are no known trends, events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably like to have a material impact on the 
company’s short-term or long-term liquidity. The internal sources of liquidity are profits generated from the 
company’s operating subsidiary, Capital Plus Financial, and its external sources of liquidity remain debt and equity 
from banking institutions that assist in the institutions compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The 
company has no material commitments for capital expenditures and the expected source of funds for such 
expenditures. There are no known trends, events, or uncertainties that had or that are reasonably expected to have a 
material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations. There are no significant elements 
of income or loss that do not arise from the company’s continuing operations. There are also no causes for any material 
changes from period to period in one or more line items on the company’s financial statements nor are the seasonal 
aspects that had a material effect on the financial condition of the results of operations.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 
OCTOBER 31, 2021

 
 
 
 
 
 
Baker Tilly US, LLP trading as Baker Tilly is a member of the global network of Baker Tilly International Ltd., the members of which are separate and 
independent legal entities. © 2020 Baker Tilly US, LLP 
 
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders 
of Crossroads Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries: 
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Crossroads Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of October 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and 
cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our 
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 
October 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Basis for Opinion 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm 
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be 
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards 
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, 
whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 
internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal 
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 
Our audit includes performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial 
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures 
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial 
statements. Our audit also includes evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statement. We believe that 
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
Report on Supplementary Information 
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. 
The consolidating information in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the 
consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial position and results of operations of the 
individual companies, and it is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information has not 
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements, and, 
accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

CROSSROADS SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
OCTOBER 31, 2021 
 
1. COMPANY PROFILE AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS 
 
Crossroads Systems, Inc. (OTCQX: CRSS) (“CRSS” or “Parent”) was an intellectual property licensing company 
headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1996 as a product solutions company, CRSS created some of the storage 
industry's most fundamental patents and licensed patents to more than 50 companies prior to filing for re-organization under 
Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code on August 13, 2017.  
 
On December 18, 2017, the Parent closed on the acquisition of 100% of the common equity of Capital Plus Financial, LLC 
(“CPF”), a Texas based community development financial institution (“CDFI”).  CPF’s mission is to make homeownership 
available to the Hispanic market throughout Texas.  CPF is also a certified B Corporation which is a group of for-profit 
companies certified to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. 
In Texas, CPF acquires, renovates, and sells single family homes providing seller financing through notes receivable.  
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, CPF participated in the second round of the Cares Act implementation of 
the PPP through the United States Department of the Treasury and Small Business Administration (“SBA”). 
 
CRSS entered into an advisory agreement with Enhanced Capital Group (“ECG”) on September 14, 2021, an investment 
firm committed to socially responsible investment initiatives and impact manager of P10 Holdings, Inc ("P10"), a leading, 
specialized multi-asset class private markets solutions provider. The advisory agreement allows for the participation in loans 
infusing capital into emerging communities though small businesses and projects that spur job creation, promote 
environmental sustainability, support women, minority and veteran-owned businesses and stimulate underserved 
communities across the country.   
 
2. BUSINESS COMBINATION 
 
Crossroads acquired 100% of the equity interests in Rise Line Business Credit, LLC (“RLBC”) on September 24, 2021 for 
cash consideration totaling $10,079,046, funded through cash on hand.  RLBC is a nationwide asset-based lending firm that 
provides innovative working capital solutions. Through this transaction, Crossroads anticipates being able to provide better 
accessibility to banking for small businesses and assist in their transition into the conventional banking system where many 
are currently underserved. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting where the results 
of operations for RLBC are included beginning September 24, 2021. The fair value of the net assets acquired in the 
acquisition equaled the purchase price so no goodwill was recorded and management identified no intangibles for 
recognition. Net assets acquired in the acquisition included approximately $2.2 million in cash, $283,000 in interest 
receivable and other current assets, $7.6 million of asset-based loans and $16,000 of current liabilities.  
 
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
 
Basis of Presentation 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The operations are for the period from November 1, 2020, 
through October 31, 2021 with operations for RLBC included from the September 24, 2021 acquisition date through October 
31, 2021.  
 
Principals of Consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRSS, CPF and RLBC. Capital Mortgage Servicing, LLC 
(“CMS”) is wholly owned by CPF (collectively, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”).  All significant intercompany accounts 
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
OCTOBER 31, 2021 
 
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED 
 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents 
The Company considers all currency on hand, money market accounts, and highly liquid investments purchased with an 
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes approximately $3 million in escrow 
accounts related primarily to CMS’s mortgage servicing obligations, $302 million in funds due to the Federal Reserve to payoff 
PPP loans in transit and $5 million held in accounts restricted for PPP related liabilities.  
 
Mortgage Notes Receivable 
The Company originates predominantly 30 year notes receivable through sales of rehabilitated homes or purchases notes 
receivable that are secured by an assignment of a deed of trust.  The Company intends to hold the notes until maturity as it has 
the ability to fund the notes receivable through borrowings from lenders that are secured by the notes receivable and properties. 
Mortgage notes receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balances less an allowance for loan losses. The average 
contractual interest rate per note was approximately 10.33% as of October 31, 2021.  Interest income is recognized monthly 
per the terms of the respective loan agreements. Mortgage notes receivable have maturities that range from 4 to 30 years. All 
of the Company’s loans and underlying collateral are located in Texas. 
 
The Company uses payment history to monitor the credit quality of the mortgage notes receivable on an ongoing basis. The 
Company assesses the carrying value of its mortgage notes receivable for impairment when it determines that impairment 
indicators are present. Notes are evaluated for impairment when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all 
amounts due for scheduled principal and interest payments, including notes in the process of repossession. Impaired notes 
are generally measured based on the fair value of the collateral.  Impaired notes, or portions thereof, are charged off when 
deemed uncollectible. A specific reserve is created for impaired notes based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. 
No specific impairment was deemed necessary as of October 31, 2021. 
 
The Company may also receive escrow payments for property taxes and insurance included in its mortgage note receivable 
collections. The liabilities associated with these escrow collections totaled $3,113,208 as of October 31, 2021 and are 
included in escrow liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. 
Allowance for Loan Losses on Mortgage Notes Receivable 
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s estimate of probable and inherent losses in the notes receivable 
balances that may be uncollectible based upon review and evaluation of the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance 
sheet date.  An allowance for loan losses is determined after giving consideration to, among other things, the loan 
characteristics, including the financial condition of borrowers, the value and liquidity of collateral, delinquency and 
historical loss experience. 
 
In addition, the Company considers such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio 
quality, and current economic conditions in the application of various strategies to mitigate risks associated with the 
portfolio.  The Company has determined that an allowance for probable and inherent loan losses was not required as of 
October 31, 2021.  
 
The Company’s policy is to place a note receivable on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is past due and 
remains unpaid for 90 days or more. Accrued interest receivable is reversed for notes placed on nonaccrual status. Payments 
received on nonaccrual notes receivable are accounted for on a cash basis, first to interest and then to principal, as long as 
the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be recoverable. The accrual of interest resumes when the past due 
principal becomes current. The unpaid principal balance of notes receivable on nonaccrual status was $1,075,618 at October 
31, 2021. 
The Company assesses the collectability of notes receivable on a note by note basis to determine if formal foreclosure 
proceedings are necessary. The total principal balance of notes receivable for which the Company has begun formal 
foreclosure proceedings totaled $1,537,835 as of October 31, 2021.

Commercial/Other Notes Receivable 
From time to time, the Company will provide higher value financing for residential or commercial real estate. As of October 
31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding balance of $1.1 million in such financing on residential property. The interest 
rate on the financing for the residential property is 9.99%. The residential property requires monthly principal and interest 
payments based on 30-year amortization schedule maturing in 2049.  
 
In 2021, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Enhanced Capital Group to begin funding impact loans to 
infuse capital into emerging communities by financing a building project and a minority owned business. The Company 
funded two impact loans with outstanding principal of $7.1 million as of October 31, 2021.  
 
The Company acquired two asset-based loans in the RLBC acquisition which totaled $7.8 million as of October 31, 2021. 
The asset-based loans were recorded at their estimated fair values at acquisition which approximated their amortized cost 
basis which includes the origination amount of the loan adjusted for applicable accrued interest, net deferred fees, audit and 
legal costs and cash collections. One of the two asset-based loans, a revolving loan totaling $3.6 million, is in default. The 
Company is in negotiations to settle the loan and believes the estimated value of the secured collateral is sufficient to cover 
the loan’s outstanding balance. 
 
Due to their individually significant balances, the Company continually monitors commercial/other notes receivable for 
potential losses and the need for an allowance for loan losses. Notes are stated at amounts due from customers, net of 
allowance for loan losses. The Company determines the allowance by considering several factors including the aging of the 
past due balance, the customer’s payment history, and the Company’s previous loss history. The Company establishes an 
allowance reserve composed of specific and general reserve amounts. As of October 31, 2021, all commercial/other notes 
receivable, except for the $3.6 million asset-based loan discussed above, were current and in good standing, and based on 
the borrowers’ history and values of the associated properties, the Company determined no allowance for loan losses was 
required as of October 31, 2021. 
 
Paycheck Protection Loans Receivable 
The Company is actively participating in the second round of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the 
“CARES Act”) implementation of the PPP through the United States Department of the Treasury and SBA. PPP loans have 
the following characteristics: an interest rate of 1.0%; principal and interest payments are deferred for nine months from the 
date of disbursement; a five-year loan term to maturity for loans made on or after June 5, 2020 (loans made prior to June 5, 
2020 have a two-year term, however borrowers and lenders may mutually agree to extend the maturity for such loans to 
five years); and they are unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA.  
 
Interest is recognized as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations when earned and deemed collectible. 
PPP administrative fee revenue are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the loans. PPP administrative fee 
revenue for all loans paid in full or forgiven are recognized as earned at the time paid in full. Management estimated life for 
all loans equal to or less than $150,000 to be 12-months while the administrative fees for all loans greater than $150,000 
are amortized over their stated terms, an average of 60-months. As of October 31, 2021, approximately $70 million in PPP 
administrative fees were deferred.  
 
Inventory 
Inventory consists of properties that are currently undergoing remodeling or are being held for sale. Inventory is stated at 
the lower of its cost or net realizable value using the specific identification method. Repair costs, commissions, closing 
costs, interest and other costs associated with individual properties are included in the cost of the property and are expensed 
as part of the cost of sales when the property is sold.   
 
The Company regularly evaluates inventories that are aged significantly or incurring costs in excess of budgeted costs.  The 
Company determined that no reserves or impairments of inventory were necessary as of October 31, 2021.

Equity Method Investment 
The Company accounts for its investment in a partnership that in turn makes equity investments in projects eligible to 
receive federal energy tax credits in order to promote climate change in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments – Equity Securities. The Company’s 
investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, the investment is measured at cost minus 
impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical 
or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company evaluates its investments in equity securities for impairment 
whenever events or circumstances indicate that there is a loss in value of the investment, which is other than temporary. In 
the event that the loss in value of an investment is other than temporary, the Company would record a charge to earnings to 
adjust the carrying value to fair value.  For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Company invested approximately $9.4 
million in the partnership to be re-invested in projects qualifying for tax credits that the Company expects will be utilizable 
beginning in fiscal year 2022. The Company determined no impairment to the investment value was necessary at October 
31, 2021 based on expectations for future tax credits to be realized. 
 
Goodwill 
Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of CPF on December 18, 2017.  Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with ASC 
350, Intangibles – Goodwill.  Management evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or when circumstances indicate the 
estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit’s carrying value indicating potential impairment of goodwill.  The Company 
determined that goodwill was not impaired at October 31, 2021. 
 
Revenue Recognition 
Interest income on mortgage notes receivable, commercial/other notes receivable and PPP loans receivable is recognized 
on the accrual basis when earned using the effective interest method. Revenue from residential home sales is recognized 
when title passes to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized based on the contracted 
sales price.  
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, mortgage notes receivable, 
commercial/other notes receivable, credit facilities, other note payable and acquisition notes payable.  The carrying amount 
of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value because it is short-term in nature. This is considered a Level I 
valuation technique.  The credit facilities, other note payable and acquisition notes payable generally have short-term 
maturity dates or variable interest rates that reflect market rates and the Company has determined that their fair value 
approximates their carrying value. This is considered a Level II valuation technique.  The Company assessed the fair value 
of mortgage notes receivable and commercial/other notes receivable and determined their fair value approximates their book 
value based on anticipated cash flows for principal and interest and relatively immaterial interest rate fluctuations, net of 
other factors.  
 
Deferred Financing Fees 
The Company incurred costs for deferred financing fees when obtaining the acquisition note payable to Veritex Community 
Bank detailed in Note 9. The debt issuance costs are presented as a deduction against the corresponding debt on the 
consolidated balance sheet. The deferred financing fees are amortized over the respective debt agreement with amortization 
expense included in other interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Amortization expense 
was $31,188 for the year ended October 31, 2021.  Net deferred financing fees were $110,575 as of October 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation 
The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock on a straight-line basis over 
the requisite service period based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation cost 
associated with stock options granted is determined using a calculated option value. The calculated value of each stock 
option grant was derived using the Black Scholes option-pricing model based on significant inputs including the Company’s 
common stock price on the grant date, risk-free interest rate, expected option life, and expected volatility. The Company 
used the contractual life as the expected option life since no historical data exists. The Company used historical common 
stock data to estimate expected volatility for valuation of the stock options. 
 
Income Taxes 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes 
are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted 
tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce 
the carrying amounts of deferred tax if it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Deferred income taxes 
reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 
 
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position that does not meet the more-likely-than-not 
threshold only after expiration of the statute of limitations of the relevant tax authority sustains our position following an 
audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the 
largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with the relevant 
tax authority. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There were no 
identified tax benefits or liabilities that were considered uncertain positions at October 31, 2021. 
 
Tax credits from our equity method investments in partnerships investing in projects eligible to receive federal energy tax 
credits, when realized, are recognized as a reduction of tax liabilities under the flow-through method, at which time the 
corresponding equity investment is written-down to reflect the remaining value of the future benefits to be realized. No tax 
credits were realized or recognized as of the year ended October 31, 2021.  
 
Government Grant Proceeds 
The Company received $1,826,265 in cash from a government grant in October 2021 under the U.S. Treasury’s CDFI Rapid 
Response Program (“CDFI RRP”) to aid CDFIs affected by COVID-19. Grant proceeds are eligible for certain products or 
services or specified business line expenditures.  The Company recognized the grant proceeds in other income on the 
consolidated statement of operations as eligible expenditures were made which all occurred during the year ended October 
31, 2021. The Company was in compliance with all conditions under the CDFI RRP as of October 31, 2021 and believes 
any potential risks that would require repayment of grant proceeds is minimal.  
 
Concentrations 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents 
and mortgage notes receivable. The mortgage notes receivable are secured either by the residential homes that were financed 
through the loan or by the borrower’s assets. The Company maintains deposits with major financial institutions, which from 
time-to-time, may exceed the federally insured limits at each institution. The Company has experienced no losses related to 
its deposits and management believes any potential credit risk is minimal.

Risks and Uncertainties 
The Company's business is affected, directly and indirectly, by domestic and international economic and political conditions 
and by governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, real estate values, volatile interest 
rates, governmental monetary policy and other factors beyond the Company's control may adversely affect the Company's 
results of operations. Adverse economic conditions could result in an increase in notes receivable delinquencies, 
foreclosures and non-performing assets and a decrease in the value of property or other collateral which secures the 
Company's loans. 
 
The Company relies on various forms of revolving and long-term borrowings to finance its working capital requirements 
and has historically demonstrated the ability to obtain additional financing or refinance maturing obligations as needed to 
support the Company’s ongoing financing needs. As disclosed in Note 9 of these consolidated financial statements, the 
Company has approximately $66.4 million in current debt obligations maturing within one year prior.  
 
Use of Estimates 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the 
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
Significant estimates that could change in the near term and have a significant impact on the consolidated financial 
statements include the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
During June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses 
on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net 
amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The 
measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, 
current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. During 
November 2018, April 2019, May 2019, November 2019 and March 2020, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-19, ASU 
No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU No. 2019-11 and ASU No. 2020-03.  ASU No. 2018-19 clarifies the effective date 
for nonpublic entities and that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, ASU 
Nos. 2019-04 and 2019-05 amend the transition guidance provided in ASU No. 2016-13, and ASU Nos. 2019-11 and 2020-
03 amend ASU No. 2016-13 to clarify, correct errors in, or improve the guidance. ASU No. 2016-13 (as amended) is 
effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early 
adoption permissible for the current period. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2016-13 (as 
amended) will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

6.  PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOANS RECEIVABLE 
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Congress approved, and former President Trump signed into law, the CARES Act. The CARES 
Act provides approximately $2 trillion in financial assistance to individuals and businesses resulting from the outbreak of 
COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, provides certain measures to support individuals and businesses in 
maintaining solvency through monetary relief in the form of financing and loan forgiveness and/or forbearance. The primary 
catalyst of small business stimulus in the CARES Act is referred to as the PPP, an SBA loan that temporarily supports 
businesses in order to retain their workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the CARES Act, the initiative calls 
for select lenders to extend loans to small businesses to cover payroll, occupancy and operating expenses through the PPP. 
Furthermore, the PPP includes a 100% guarantee from the federal government for loans up to $10 million and principal 
forgiveness for borrowers if the funds are used primarily for retaining employees. The Company, as a CDFI, began 
participating as a lender for the second round of the PPP.

6.  PAYMENT PROTECTION PROGRAM LOANS RECEIVABLE, CONTINUED 
 
In the aggregate, the Company has facilitated the fundings of approximately $6.3 billion of loans through this program.  The 
Company has elected fair value option for these loans that are held-for-investment.  
 
The Company entered into a Lender Service Provider (“LSP”) agreement with a third-party. Under this agreement, the 
Company paid a portion of the administration fees to the LSP for originating, underwriting, and processing PPP loans, 
processing forgiveness with the SBA, and servicing the outstanding portfolio of PPP loan receivable. 
 
The Company also partnered with a handful of banks that referred loans to the Company. These loans were processed 
through a third-party platform. The Company paid an administration fee to the platform provider and the SBA authorized 
referral fees to the banks. In total, approximately 500 loans were processed on the third-party platform. 
 
The Company purchased approximately $133 million of PPP loans receivable from a third-party bank at 98.5% of their 
unpaid principal balance at acquisition. The unearned discount as of October 31, 2021 was $1,284,415 with $707,692 of the 
original discount being amortized and recognized as a component of interest income on the consolidated statement of 
operations during the year then ended. 
 
As a result of these activities, the Company recognized approximately $257 million in net PPP income in 2021. The 
Company has $69.7 million in deferred income expected to be realized during 2022. The following tables present details 
about the Company’s financial position related to its PPP activities as of and for the year ended October 31, 2021:

13.  PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN PAYABLE, CONTINUED 
 
Because the Company is involved with lending activities, the Company’s PPP Loan was not eligible for forgiveness. 
Monthly principal and interest payments of $75,549 will commence in December 2021 and be required through the maturity 
date in April 2022. The terms of the PPP Loan provide for customary events of default including, among other things, 
payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events. The PPP Loan may be accelerated upon 
the occurrence of an event of default. The balance of the PPP Loan was $376,800 at October 31, 2021.  
14.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY 
The Company is authorized to issue up to 75 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 25 million shares of 
$0.001 par value preferred stock.  As of October 31, 2021, 5,971,994 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding 
and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.  
 
15. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION 
In June of 2018, the Company established the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Plan”) in which shares of common stock 
are made available for grant to qualified officers, employees, directors and other key personnel of the Company. The plan 
is authorized to issue up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  
 
The vesting of the options is determined by the Company with current options granted vesting over three years and 
exercisable on the third anniversary of their grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the options 
granted using the straight-line method over the vesting period and $297,434 of stock-based compensation expense was 
recorded for the year ended October 31, 2021. As of October 31, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense 
was $489,390 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.65 years.  
 
A summary of option activity for the year ended October 31, 2021 is as follows:  
 
 
 
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the 
following weighted average assumptions for the June 2020 grants: a share price of $7.33, volatility of 67.8%, a weighted 
average risk-free interest rate of 0.71%, and no dividends. The Company estimated the expected term of the options using 
comparable market data since no historical data was available for stock option grants. The estimated expected term averaged 
6.45 years. The weighted average grant date fair value for options granted was $4.51. The Black-Scholes option-pricing 
model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. The Company continues to assess the assumptions and 
methodologies used to calculate the established fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and 
additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, 
which could materially impact the fair value determinations.

CROSSROADS SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 
OCTOBER 31, 2020

Baker Tilly US, LLP trading as Baker Tilly is a member of the global network of Baker Tilly International Ltd., the members of which are separate and 
independent legal entities. © 2020 Baker Tilly US, LLP 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders 
of Crossroads Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries: 
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Crossroads Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of October 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and 
cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our 
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 
October 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Basis for Opinion 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with 
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with 
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations 
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards 
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, 
whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 
internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal 
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 
Our audit includes performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, 
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also 
includes evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis 
for our opinion. 
Report on Supplementary Information 
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. 
The consolidating information in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the 
consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial position and results of operations of the 
individual companies, and it is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information has not 
been subjected to the auditng procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and, accordingly, we 
express no opinion on it.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
OCTOBER 31, 2020 
1.
COMPANY PROFILE AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Crossroads Systems, Inc. (OTC Pink: CRSS) (the “Company”, “CRSS” or “Parent”) was an intellectual property 
licensing company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1996 as a product solutions company, Crossroads 
created some of the storage industry's most fundamental patents and licensed patents to more than 50 companies prior 
to filing for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code on August 13, 2017.   
On December 18, 2017, the Parent acquired 100% of the common equity of Capital Plus Financial, LLC (“CPF”), a 
Texas based community development financial institution (“CDFI”).  CPF’s mission is to make homeownership 
available to the Hispanic market throughout Texas.  CPF is also a certified B Corporation which is a group of for-
profit companies certified to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and 
transparency. CPF operates in Texas where it acquires, renovates, and sells single-family homes providing seller 
financing through notes receivable. 
Principals of Consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRSS and CPF. Capital Mortgage Servicing, LLC 
(“CMS”) is wholly owned by CPF.  (collectively, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”).  All significant intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.   
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The operations are for the 
period from November 1, 2019 through October 31, 2020.  
Cash and Cash Equivalents 
The Company considers all currency on hand, money market accounts, and highly liquid investments purchased with 
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Restricted cash includes escrow accounts related 
primarily to CMS’s mortgage servicing obligations.  
Notes Receivable 
The Company originates predominantly 30-year notes receivable through sales of rehabilitated homes or purchases 
notes receivable that are secured by an assignment of a deed of trust.  The Company intends to hold the notes for the 
long-term as it has the ability to fund additional notes receivable through borrowings from lenders that are secured by 
the notes receivable and properties. Notes receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balances less an allowance for 
loan losses, if any. The average contractual interest rate per note was approximately 10.44% as of October 31, 2020. 
Interest income is recognized monthly per the terms of the respective loan agreements.  Notes receivable have maturities 
that range from 4 to 30 years.  All of the Company’s loans and underlying collateral are located in Texas. 
The Company uses payment history to monitor the credit quality of the notes receivable on an ongoing basis. The 
Company assesses the carrying value of its notes receivable for impairment when it determines that impairment 
indicators are present. Notes are evaluated for impairment when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect 
all amounts due for scheduled principal and interest payments, including notes in the process of repossession.  
Impaired notes are generally measured based on the fair value of the collateral.  Impaired notes, or portions thereof, 
are charged off when deemed uncollectible.  A specific reserve is created for impaired notes based on the fair value 
of the underlying collateral.  No specific impairment was deemed necessary as of October 31, 2020.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED 
Notes Receivable, Continued 
The Company may also receive escrow payments for property taxes and insurance included in its note receivable 
collections. The liabilities associated with these escrow collections totaled $2,886,249 as of October 31, 2020 and 
are included in escrow liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. 
The Company purchased $2,706,314 in notes receivable from third-parties at face value, which approximated their 
fair value, near the time they were originated during the year ended October 31, 2020. Notes receivable totaling 
$1,634,504 were purchased with attached loan participations of between 15% and 20%.  The loan participations do 
not meet the criteria to be presented net of the notes receivable with a majority due to officers of the Company, and 
accordingly, are presented in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  The Company’s liability 
for loan participations are paid as payments are received on the related notes receivable.  The loan participation 
liability totaled $407,091 as of October 31, 2020.  The Company did not sell any notes receivable during the year 
ended October 31, 2020.  
 
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law.  As 
permitted under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, the Company provided 234 borrowers experiencing financial 
hardship caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic with a 60-day forbearance option that defers two loan payments to the 
end of the loan term.  The 60-day forbearance option is not considered a troubled-debt restructuring as the customers 
were not experiencing financial difficulty prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic.  The Company did not recognize interest 
income of approximately $412,000 on these loans during the forbearance period.  As of October 31, 2020, there were 
no loans on forbearance.   
Allowance for Loan Losses on Notes Receivable 
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s estimate of probable and inherent losses in the notes receivable 
balances that may be uncollectible based upon review and evaluation of the loan portfolio as of the consolidated 
balance sheet date.  An allowance for loan losses is determined after giving consideration to, among other things, the 
loan characteristics, including the financial condition of borrowers, the value and liquidity of collateral, delinquency 
and historical loss experience. 
 
In addition, the Company considers such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio 
quality, and current economic conditions. The Company applies multiple strategies to mitigate the risks associated 
with delinquent loans, including foreclosures and subsequent rehabilitation and resales. As a result, the Company 
historically has not experienced any significant losses and has determined that an allowance for probable and inherent 
loan losses was not required as of October 31, 2020.  
 
The Company’s policy is to place a note receivable on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is past due 
and remains unpaid for 90 days or more. Accrued interest receivable is reversed for notes placed on nonaccrual status. 
Payments received on nonaccrual notes receivable are accounted for on a cash basis, first to interest and then to 
principal, as long as the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be recoverable. The accrual of interest 
resumes when the past due principal becomes current.  The unpaid principal balance of notes receivable on nonaccrual 
status was $2,344,390 at October 31, 2020.   
 
The Company assesses the collectability of notes receivable on a note by note basis to determine if formal foreclosure 
proceedings are necessary. The total principal balance of notes receivable for which the Company has begun formal 
foreclosure proceedings totaled $1,741,580 as of October 31, 2020.

Other Notes Receivable 
From time to time, the Company will provide higher value financing for residential or commercial real estate.  As of 
October 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance of $1.1 million in such financing on a residential property 
and $726,000 for one commercial property.  The interest rate on the financing for the residential property is 9.99% and 
7.75% for the commercial property.  The residential property requires monthly principal and interest payments based 
on 30-year amortization schedule maturing in 2049. The commercial property requires at least monthly interest 
payments and has a maturity of February 2022.  
 
The Company sold a 20% loan participation in the $1.1 million residential property note receivable which is presented 
net of the other note receivable balance on the consolidated balances sheet.  The balance on the loan participation as of 
October 31, 2020 was $215,193.  
 
Due to their individually significant balances, the Company continually monitors other notes receivable for potential 
losses and the need for an allowance for loan losses.  As of October 31, 2020, all other notes receivable were current 
and in good standing, and based on the borrowers’ history and values of the associated properties, the Company 
determined no allowance for loan losses was required. 
 
Inventory 
Inventory consists of properties that are currently undergoing remodeling or are being held for sale. Inventory 
includes the initial costs of acquiring the property, remodeling costs, real estate taxes and other direct costs incurred 
while remodeling the property.  All indirect overheard costs, such as compensation of sales personnel, management 
and advertising costs are charged to salaries and wages or other general and administrative expenses as incurred.   
 
The initial direct costs to acquire properties and remodeling costs account for approximately 92% of cost of properties 
sold in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2020.  As of October 31, 2020, 92 
properties were being remodeled and 16 were completed and held for sale.  Generally, the Company holds properties 
in inventory from acquisition to resale for 3 to 4 months. 
 
Goodwill 
Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of CPF on December 18, 2017.  Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill.  Management evaluates goodwill for 
impairment at least annually or when circumstances indicate the estimated fair value may exceed the reporting unit’s 
carrying value indicating potential impairment of goodwill. The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic in 
2020 had minimal effects on the Company’s operations or stock price.  The Company determined that based on the 
limited impact of COVID-19 and a continued growth in net income it was more likely than not goodwill was not 
impaired as of October 31, 2020. 
 
Revenue Recognition 
Interest income on notes receivable and other notes receivable is recognized on the accrual basis when earned using 
the effective interest method. Revenue from residential home sales is recognized when title passes to the purchaser 
and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized based on the contracted sales price.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, other notes 
receivable, credit facilities, other note payable and acquisition notes payable.  The carrying amount of cash and cash 
equivalents approximates its fair value because it is short-term in nature. The credit facilities, other note payable and 
acquisition notes payable generally have short-term maturity dates or variable interest rates that reflect market rates 
and the Company has determined that their fair value approximates their carrying value.  The Company assessed the 
fair value of notes receivable and other notes receivable based on the discounted value of the remaining principal and 
interest cash flows. The Company determined the fair value of other notes receivable approximates their book values 
and the fair value of notes receivable was approximately $134.6 million compared to the book value of $128.8 million 
as of October 31, 2020. 
 
Deferred Financing Fees 
The Company incurred costs for deferred financing fees when obtaining the acquisition note payable to Veritex 
Community Bank detailed in Note 6. The debt issuance costs are presented as a deduction against the corresponding 
debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred financing fees are amortized over the respective debt agreement 
with amortization expense included in other interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of 
operations. Amortization expense was $35,986 for the year ended October 31, 2020.  Net deferred financing fees 
were $141,763 as of October 31, 2020. 
 
Stock-Based Compensation 
The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock on a straight-line basis 
over the requisite service period based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. Compensation 
cost associated with stock options granted is determined using a calculated option value. The calculated value of each 
stock option grant is derived using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized over the vesting period 
with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital. 
 
Use of Estimates 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and 
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates that 
could change in the near term and have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements include the 
deferred tax assets and allowance for loan losses.  
 
Income Taxes 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, 
deferred taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and 
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation 
allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not such assets 
will not be realized. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

OCTOBER 31, 2020 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED 
Income Taxes, Continued 
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position that does not meet the more-likely-than-not 
threshold only after expiration of the statute of limitations of the relevant tax authority sustains our position following 
an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial 
statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate 
settlement with the relevant tax authority. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in 
income tax expense. There were no identified tax benefits or liabilities that were considered uncertain positions at 
October 31, 2020. 
 
Concentrations 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, cash equivalents, 
and notes receivable. The notes receivable are secured by the residential homes that were financed through the loan. 
The Company maintains deposits with major financial institutions, which from time-to-time, may exceed the federally 
insured limits at each institution.  The Company had cash and restricted cash in financial institutions that exceeded 
federally insured limits of approximately $4.1 million.  Management believes any potential credit risk is minimal.   
 
Risks and Uncertainties 
The Company's business is affected, directly and indirectly, by economic and political conditions and by 
governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, real estate values, volatile interest 
rates, governmental monetary policy and other factors beyond the Company's control may adversely affect the 
Company's results of operations.  Adverse economic conditions could result in an increase in notes receivable 
delinquencies or foreclosures and a decrease in the value of property or other collateral which secures the Company's 
loans. 
 
The Company relies on various forms of revolving and long-term borrowings to finance its working capital 
requirements and has historically demonstrated the ability to obtain additional financing or refinance maturing 
obligations as needed to support the Company’s ongoing financing needs. As disclosed in Note 6 of these 
consolidated financial statements, the Company has approximately $75.7 million in current debt obligations maturing 
within one year prior.   
 
The Company was and continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which is having significant effects on 
global markets, supply chains, businesses and communities. The Company continues to evaluate the effects or 
potential effects of these events including possible disruptions with the availability of personnel or supplies and future 
government regulations or shut-downs.  The extent of the impact will depend on future developments including the 
duration and spread of the outbreak, distribution of vaccines and government or other regulatory action.  There have 
been no adjustments to the consolidated financial statements related to this risk.

Acquisition Notes Payable 
To fund consideration in the December 18, 2017 acquisition of CPF, the Company entered into a $22,000,000 note 
payable with Veritex Community Bank (the “Veritex Note”) and a $2,200,000 note payable to CrossFirst Bank (the 
“CrossFirst Note”).   
Veritex Note 
The Veritex Note bears interest at the annual LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 4.50%, which was 4.64% at 
October 31, 2020.  The Veritex Note requires monthly principal payment of $207,931, plus interest, through maturity 
on December 18, 2024, the date at which all unpaid principal and interest is due. The Veritex Note is collateralized 
by certain operating assets of the Company not already collateralized by the credit facilities. As of October 31, 
2020, the unpaid principal balance on the Veritex Note was $11,020,327. The Veritex Note is presented on 
the consolidated balance sheet net of amortizing deferred financing fees of $141,763 at October 31, 2020.  
The Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants under the Veritex Note.  The 
Company was not in compliance with the problem asset measurement ratio as of October 31, 2020 due to COVID-
19 affecting various county government’s ability to process foreclosures timely. The Problem Asset Measurement 
Ratio is the ratio of notes receivable past due 30 days plus initial inventory acquisition costs aged over 270 days to 
total notes receivable plus initial inventory acquisition costs. The Company is required to maintain a quarterly 
Problem Asset Measurement Ratio no greater than 5.00% with the ratio as of October 31, 2020 at 5.89%. The 
Company has the capability of curing the non-compliance through the liquidation of the notes receivable held up in 
the foreclosure process due to COVID-19, and accordingly, has determined that the non-compliance is not 
representative of a continued default for financial reporting purposes.   
CrossFirst Note 
The CrossFirst Note was created to fund $2,200,000 of the purchase price in the acquisition of CPF to money market 
accounts in the seller’s names at CrossFirst Bank to serve as collateral over the duration of the note.  The CrossFirst 
Note requires a monthly interest payment at the CrossFirst Bank money market account rate plus an applicable margin 
of 1.00%, which was 1.65% at October 31, 2020.  The CrossFirst Note will mature on December 14, 2021, when all 
unpaid principal and interest will be due.  The balance on the CrossFirst Note was $2,199,377 at October 31, 2020.

debt obligations, accrues interest at 6.50% per annum, calls for monthly payments of principal and interest of $22,710, 
and matures on December 31, 2026.  The balance on the Other Note was $1,335,571 at October 31, 2020.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan 
On April 20, 2020, the Company qualified for and received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program 
(“PPP”), a program implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administrative (“SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, 
Relief, and Economic Security Act, from a qualified lender (the “PPP Lender”), for an aggregate principal amount of 
$376,800. The PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, with the first six months interest deferred, has a 
term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The principal amount 
of the PPP Loan is subject to forgiveness under the Paycheck Protection Program upon the Company’s request to the 
extent that the PPP Loan proceeds are used to pay expenses permitted by the Paycheck Protection Program, including 
payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company. The 
Company has applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan with respect to these covered expenses. To the extent that all 
or part of the PPP Loan is not forgiven, the Company will be required to pay interest on the PPP Loan at a rate of 
1.0% per annum, and commencing in November 2020, principal and interest payments will be required through the 
maturity date in April 2022. The terms of the PPP Loan provide for customary events of default including, among 
other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events. The PPP Loan may 
be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. 
7. OPERATING LEASES
The Company is obligated, as lessee, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space located in 
Bedford, Texas and Houston, Texas. The lease agreements require monthly payments of $12,600 through their 
expiration in December 2022. 
Future minimum payments required under non-cancelable operating lease agreements are as follows for the years 
ending October 31:

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue up to 75 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 25 million shares 
of $0.001 par value preferred stock.  As of October 31, 2020, 5,971,994 shares of common stock were issued and 
outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.  
9. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In June of 2018, the Company established the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Plan”) in which shares of common 
stock are made available for grant to qualified officers, employees, directors and other key personnel of the Company. 
The plan is authorized to issue up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  
The vesting of the options is determined by the Company with current options granted vesting over three years. The 
Company recognizes compensation expense for the options granted using the straight-line method over the vesting 
period.  As of October 31, 2020, unrecognized stock based compensation expense was $789,474 and is expected to 
be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.65 years.  
A summary of option activity for the year ended October 31, 2020 is as follows: 
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the 
following weighted average assumptions for the June 2020 grants: a share price of $7.33, volatility of 67.8%, a weighted 
average risk-free interest rate of 0.71%, and no dividends. The Company estimated the expected term of the options using 
comparable market data since no historical data was available for stock option grants.  The estimated expected term 
averaged 6.45 years. The weighted average grant date fair value for options granted was $4.51 and $112,569 of stock-
based compensation expense was recorded for the year ended October 31, 2020.  
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. The Company continues to 
assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate the established fair value of share-based compensation. 
Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these 
assumptions and methodologies, which could materially impact the fair value determinations.

10.  NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS – CPF PREFERRED EQUITY 
 
CPF has 36 preferred units at $500,000 per unit outstanding as of October 31, 2020.  
 
The rights and privileges of preferred units are as follows: 
 
Duration and Voting:  preferred units have no maturity date and have no voting rights.  
 
Dividends: Holders of preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 3.50% 
through June 2022 and reset to the prime rate on a quarterly basis thereafter for the remainder of the investment.  
 
Conversion and Redemption:  preferred units are not convertible into common units or any other equity of CPF 
or the Company and are redeemable at the Company’s option after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. 
 
Liquidation preference: holders of preferred units are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to all dividends 
in arrears plus the initial capital contribution.  
During the year ended October 31, 2020, CPF paid preferred dividends totaling $631,726 and had an accrued balance 
of $51,780 at October 31, 2020.  Accrued dividends are included as a component of total ending equity for non-
controlling interests at October 31, 2020.  
 
11.  RELATED PARTY ACTIVITIES  
 
The Company leases office space in Dallas, Texas on a month to month basis from Southwest Federated, Inc., a 
related party through common ownership. Monthly payments under the lease were $4,500 and total rental payments 
for the year ended October 31, 2020 were $54,000.  
 
The Company acquired 13 loans from third parties during the year ended October 31, 2020 that had loan participations 
associated with them of between 10% and 20%.  Two officers of the Company subsequently acquired these loan 
participations from the third-parties.  As of October 31, 2020, the liability due to the officers of the Company totaled 
$278,878 and are included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  
 
12.  CONTINGENCIES  
 
The Company is party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business.  Common legal proceedings 
include, among other things, breach of contract and unlawful eviction. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, 
based on past experience and the information currently available, management does not believe that such claims will 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

OCTOBER 31, 2020 
13. INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED 
 
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable 
income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets.  While the Company projects annual taxable 
income to increase steadily into the future, future profitability depends heavily on the Company’s ability to borrow 
at rates averaging those incurred during the year ended October 31, 2020.  Positive or negative changes in average 
borrowing rates greater than 0.50% could materially affect estimates of future taxable income and any related 
valuation allowances.  
 
As of October 31, 2020, a valuation allowance of $8.7 million was recorded against the deferred tax asset so that only 
the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized remains at October 31, 2020.  The 
valuation allowance is due primarily to the significant amount of deferred tax assets expiring over the next two years.  
The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable 
income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased. 
 
14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 
 
In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company evaluated all material events or transactions that 
occurred after October 31, 2020, the consolidated balance sheet date, and through January 20, 2021, the date the 
consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, noting the following transaction for disclosure as a 
subsequent event.  
 
The Company has partnered with an outside party to participate as a lender in the second round of the PPP loan 
program implemented by the SBA which opened for non-bank financial institutions on January 13, 2020.
