INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Members
Hennessey Financial, LLC
St. Paul, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hennessey Financial, LLC (a Minnesota limited liability company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the accounts of variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary have not been consolidated into the Company. In our opinion, the Companys consolidated financial statements should include the accounts of these variable interest entities to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, except for the effects on the 2005 consolidated financial statements of the matter discussed in the preceding paragraph, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hennessey Financial, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HENNESSEY FINANCIAL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Hennessey Financial, LLC provides secured mezzanine financing to companies engaged in residential building construction, land development, commercial real estate investments, and other business ventures throughout the central United States. The members of the LLC have limited liability for the obligations or debts of the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, Hennessey Financial, LLC (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hennessey Financial Note Holdings, LLC (formed November 2004 for the purposes of originating loans and managing loan portfolios) and Hennessey Funding, LLC (formed in March 2005 to provide mezzanine financing for certain land development projects). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains all of its cash balances with a high quality financial institution. Balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Finance Receivables
Finance receivables that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal and accrued loan fee balances reduced by any chargeoff or specific valuation accounts and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. The Company requires a security interest be granted in real estate to secure the finance receivables. Interest on loans is recognized over the term of the loan and is calculated using the compounded interest or simple interest methods on principal amounts outstanding. Accrual of interest income is suspended when collateral is acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings. The typical term for loans is one to five years, however, certain loans are subject to an annual renewal clause. Loan origination and extension fees are recognized as income during the loan term and unpaid loan fees accrue interest.
Allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to expense and decreased by chargeoffs (net of recoveries). Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Companys past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Management has determined all loans are collectible and therefore did not record an allowance at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for using straight-line and accelerated methods over periods ranging from four to seven years. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed when incurred.
6
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related financing agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method. Total costs were $770,652 and $307,101 and accumulated amortization was $322,540 and $84,585 at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $296,076 and $72,953 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The weighted average life of these costs is approximately 2.3 years.
Future estimated amortization expense is as follows for the years ending December 31:
2006 |
| $ | 273,576 |
|
2007 |
| 152,605 |
| |
2008 |
| 21,931 |
| |
Total |
| $ | 448,112 |
|
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $7,116 and $7,221 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Income Taxes
The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As such, the Companys income, losses, and credits are included in the income tax returns of its members. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements do not include any provision or liability for income taxes.
Managements Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or total members equity.

In 2004, the Company entered into an office space lease from an entity related by common ownership. The lease requires monthly base rent, which increased from $3,109 to $4,909 during 2005 and expires in May 2009. Rent expense was $44,369 and $27,697 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Environmental Protection Laws
The Company may be subject to environmental protection laws with regards to the real estate projects the Company finances. Although environmental laws are not initially the Companys responsibility, the Company would be subject to these laws if the borrower were to default on the construction loan and the Company repossesses the real estate.
NOTE 11 - Concentrations
At December 31, 2005, the Company had loans with 5 related entities whose loan and accrued interest balances (as a percentage of the total outstanding balances) were 20%, 16%, 13%, 13% and 12%. Interest and fee income from 4 related entities during 2005 (as a percentage of total interest and fee income earned) were 27%, 22%, 15% and 12%. At December 31, 2004, the Company had one related entity whose loan and accrued interest balance (as a percentage of the total outstanding balances) was 23%. Interest and fee income from this entity during 2004 (as a percentage of total interest and fee income earned) was 11%. Due to the significance of these borrowers, the Company would incur significant losses if these borrowers failed to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Company. The Company requires a security interest be granted to secure funds that are loaned to these borrowers. This would enable the Company to acquire rights in the collateral in the event of default.

NOTE 12 - Departure From Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46). In December 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46 to make certain technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46R (revised) provides a new framework for identifying variable interest entities (VIEs) and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. The effective date for FIN 46R was January 1, 2005.
The Company is the primary beneficiary of variable interest entities as determined under the guidance of FIN 46R. The guidance of FIN 46R calls for the consolidation of the accounts of Heritage Development, Inc. and subsidiaries (HDI), Omni Investment Properties, LLC and affiliates (Omni), Argus, LLC and subsidiaries (Argus), and Hennessey Financial Monthly Income Fund, LP (HFMIF), in order for the Companys consolidated financial statements to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
HDI develops and sells residential lots for home construction; Omni invests in and manages residential and commercial real estate; Argus is a builder of multifamily homes; and HFMIF is a real estate financing company.
If the Company had consolidated all of the entities for which it is the primary beneficiary at and for the year ended December 31, 2005, total assets would have been approximately $295 million and total liabilities would have been approximately $283 million at December 31, 2005. Total equity at December 31, 2005 would have been approximately $12 million, comprised of approximately $5 million of noncontrolling interests and approximately $7 million of controlling interests. Loss before eliminating noncontrolling interests would have been approximately $700,000 and net income after eliminating noncontrolling interests would have been approximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
