ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
General
 
KH Funding conducts mortgage banking operations from its headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Our primary business activities consist of originating, acquiring and servicing mortgage and business loans. We emphasize the direct origination of small commercial real estate mortgage loans and investment property residential mortgage loans. We also purchase first and second mortgage loans secured by residential real estate from other lenders and banks around the country. To fund our operations, we rely on interest income generated from our lending and investment activities and from proceeds from sales of interest bearing debt securities to investors (“investor notes”),

Our net income depends largely upon our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income we earn from our loans and investments, referred to as interest-earning assets, and interest expense that we pay on investor notes and other borrowed funds, referred to as interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income may be affected by general economic conditions, policies established by regulatory authorities and competition.
 
Operations

We operate from a suite of offices located in Silver Spring, Maryland. We act as a mortgage banker or purchaser of mortgage and business loans and perform the record keeping, loan administration and servicing functions with regard to our assets and liabilities. For example, our mortgage loan servicing includes collecting payments, paying property taxes and insurance, and if necessary, instituting foreclosure procedures. We also administer our program of selling fixed and variable rate debt securities of varying maturities. In addition, in February 2003 we were approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a retirement account trustee. We accept and administer purchases of our investor notes for IRA and SEP accounts. Currently, these services are provided by KH Funding personnel that have other responsibilities; however, we intend to expand these trust services in the future.

Our assets of $53.39 million at December 31, 2007 consist primarily of cash, mortgage loans, real property and investment securities. In the normal course of business we collect the income generated by the assets; receive funds from investors; handle the redemption of investor notes; and maintain and track the receipts, disbursements and balances on escrow accounts established by our borrowers.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to our net interest spread for the five years ended December 31, 2007. The average yield and cost of funds are derived by dividing interest income or interest expense by the average balance (exclusive of nonaccrual loans and of unamortized fees and costs) of loans receivable or investor notes, respectively, for the years shown. The interest categories are at contract rates and exclude the amortization of related fee income and expense.

Technology

We maintain an off-site secondary location which has full back-up operability with up-to-date information. The software we use to track our loan portfolio is used commercially by over 300 other subscribers. Our investment account software was made to our specifications to allow us to service the holders of our investor notes in an efficient and timely manner.
 
Customer Service

We provide monthly statements and timely, personal service to our investors, which have always cultivated a good “word-of-mouth” referral system. We have developed and made available to our investors on-line access to their accounts at our Internet website, www.khfunding.com. The website allows investors to view their account information at anytime, such as account balances, maturity dates and recent transactions. Access to the website allows investors to complete transfers from one account to another account, order wire transfers, and request withdrawals.
 
Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to grow and enhance our profitability by increasing our portfolio of mortgage and business loans. We anticipate that the funds necessary to carry through with this strategy will come from our lending activities and proceeds of sales of our investor notes. In addition, we may seek to raise funds through private sales of our capital stock.

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2004, we expanded the distribution for our investor notes by engaging in strategic alliances with several major financial services firms throughout the country. We currently have signed selling agreements with three NASD registered broker-dealers with a network of over 1,200 registered representatives in the Midwest and West. These alliances have given us the ability to sell our investor notes through a network of financial intermediaries in defined geographic locations. To date, our distribution plan has been very successful, establishing close to 700 new investment accounts providing us with over $25,000,000 in funds. In 2006, sales by these broker-dealers established approximately 522 new investment accounts and provided over $11 million in funds. We plan to further increase our distribution network, and are currently in negotiations with other NASD member broker-dealers interested in distributing our investor notes in parts of the United States where we are not currently represented.

Our business strategy has been hampered during the past two fiscal years because we have not been able to sell our investor notes in our principal markets. In June 2006, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with several state securities regulators, including the Division of Securities of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General (the “Maryland Securities Division”), to register the sale of up to $250,000,000 of our investor notes. Although the SEC and several state securities regulators declared this registration statement effective, the Maryland Securities Division did not. On January 23, 2008, we filed an amended registration statement to update certain information and to renew the registration process. Again, although the SEC and several state securities regulators declared the amended registration statement effective, we are still working with the Maryland Securities Division to have it declared effective in Maryland. In 2008, the Maryland Securities Division informed us that it is investigating a former employee who allegedly misappropriated funds of an investor between 2004 and 2006. This employee resigned in December 2007. As a result of these delays, we have not been able to sell our investor notes from Maryland or to Maryland residents, which is our largest market. Accordingly, our ability to raise funds through sales of our investor notes is currently very limited. We are working diligently with the Maryland Securities Division in furtherance of this amended registration statement and hope that it will be declared effective in the near future.

We intend to continue managing our assets and maintaining strict collection procedures for any problem assets in order to increase our profitability. We expect to realize more operating efficiencies and cost controls as we invest the proceeds from future offerings, as we do not expect significant additional personnel or facilities will be needed.

Market Area and Credit Risk Concentration

Our lending activities are concentrated primarily in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan areas. We also purchase residential mortgage loans from banks and other lenders in other states. At December 31, 2007, our average loan size was approximately $245,000. Our larger loans, above $250,000, are made with a strong emphasis on collateral-based underwriting as opposed to relying primarily on credit scoring.
 
Competition

We face significant competition both in making loans and in attracting investor funds. Our competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, mortgage companies, insurance companies and other financial service companies; often these are local (and sometimes smaller) independent loan companies or individuals. Our competition for investor funds has historically come from competitors offering uninsured products, such as the mutual fund industry, securities and brokerage firms and insurance companies, as well as insured money market accounts and certificates of deposit at commercial banks.

Our experience has been that in originating loans and acquiring loans, there has been increased competition from large institutions. We do not believe that this trend is material to our financial condition or operations at this point. However, if this trend continues, it is possible that we may have difficulty originating or obtaining loans that meet our standards or that we will have difficulty competing with these larger originators, which often enjoy a lower cost of funds.

Once we are again able to sell our investor notes in our major markets, we believe that we will continue to be able to attract investors to our investment products. Our one, three and five year fixed term investor notes are priced at rates that are normally more than 200 basis points (2%) above insured investments for a similar term at commercial banks. Our one day and 30 day investor notes are competitively priced with other uninsured investments that have similar features such as checking account and withdrawal features. We provide holders of our one day demand notes with KH Funding-investor joint checking accounts through Bank of America and other local banks to access their funds (this feature is not offered to South Carolina residents). The checking account privileges are exclusively for funds invested in investor notes and allow the holders of one day demand notes to execute redemption or investment requests conveniently, quickly and with less expense than by wire transfer or the mail. The holder may write a check against the account, which reduces the note balance. The holder may add to their investment by making deposits at the bank through which the checking accounts are provided.

Lending Activities

Our loan portfolio consists primarily of first and second mortgage loans that we have originated or acquired from other lenders. We also hold several business line-of-credit and fixed-term loans that we have directly originated. A small portion of our portfolio contains loans for consumer purposes such as auto and personal loans, and a few loans secured by the borrower’s non-real estate assets, such as stock.

Some of the mortgage loans we make and acquire are considered “sub-prime loans”. Sub-prime mortgage loans generally have higher delinquency and default rates than mortgage loans made to prime borrowers. At December 31, 2007, our sub-prime loans represented 8.81% of our total loans. We attempt to manage these risks with risk-based mortgage loan pricing, appropriate underwriting policies, appropriate loan collection methods, and reliance on the “hard-collateral” value of the underlying collateral for each loan. We believe that our exposure to problems in the sub-prime market is limited as a result of several factors. First, we believe that we are underwriting our sub-prime mortgage loans to a higher standard than the failing and delinquent loans from the more aggressive lenders in the mortgage industry. Second, we do not offer the loan products that are receiving the harshest criticism from regulators, commentators and Congress. Notably, as a general matter, the sub-prime loans that we originate or purchase have loan to value (“LTV”) ratios at the time the loan is made that are less than 70%, as opposed to ratios of 95% or higher allowed by many sub-prime lenders. In addition, we do not offer so-called “teaser” rate adjustable loans, low or no document or “stated income” loans. Third, our size does not require us to generate or purchase high volumes of sub-prime mortgage loans so we can look much more closely at the individual borrowers, as in the case of loans that we originate. In the case of purchased loans, we rely on strict purchase criteria relating to LTV ratios and documentation.

We rely on community contacts as well as referrals from existing customers, attorneys and real estate professionals to generate business within our lending area. In addition, we have developed a list of brokers, banks and lenders nationwide that sell us loans.

We have developed underwriting policies to control the inherent risks in the origination and acquisition of loans. The policies address approval limits, loan-to-value ratios, appraisal requirements, debt service coverage ratios, loan concentration limits and other matters relevant to loan underwriting.

First Mortgage Lending

Direct Origination. We primarily originate first mortgage loans for investment (rented) residential real estate, and small commercial properties. For these commercial property mortgage loans, we require an independent appraisal, title and hazard insurance and a recorded deed of trust in our name. In addition, for commercial loans we generally require an environmental site assessment be performed. Further, we may require borrowers to make payments to a mortgage escrow account for the payment of property taxes and insurance. We monitor to ensure that all applicable taxes are paid and insurance is maintained.

At origination, these loans generally have LTV ratios of 80% or less, with an average of 70%, at the time the loan is made. Credit scores of the borrowers generally range in the mid 600’s, with average scores of 500 for sub-prime loans and 640 for prime loans. Credit scores are determined by complex computer programs which take into consideration many factors. There are three companies that are the primary providers of credit reports and credit scores for individuals. We generally obtain credit reports and/or credit scores from all three companies, and are a member of one, Equifax. Credit scores range from the 400s to the 800s. The lower the score, the lower the “quality” of credit or creditworthiness of the individual. Credit scores from 580 to mid-600’s will generally indicate a “C/C+” borrower, mid-600s to 680 is an “B-/B/B+” borrower, high-600s to low-700s is an “A-” borrower and 720 or higher is an “A” borrower. Lenders adopt different guidelines for acceptability regarding credit scores. For us a credit score of 580 to the 800s (the highest score possible) is within the range of acceptability in order to make or acquire a loan, however, we prefer the credit score to be in the mid-600s and above. The borrowers with a score below the mid-600s must provide us with a reason, or reasons, which mitigate the below mid-600s score.

Acquired Loans. The first mortgage loans we acquire nationwide are generally 90% LTV, or less, and they have been made to sub-prime borrowers. The majority of these loans are for lower-priced properties and the interest rates are usually 9.5% to 11.5%. We have not acquired any of these loans since 2004.
 
Second Mortgage Lending

Direct Origination. The majority of our stand-alone, second mortgage loans, in which we do not hold a first mortgage on the property, are on owner-occupied properties in which the borrowers are consolidating debts. The average LTV at the time the loan is made is up to 100%. The borrowers’ credit scores generally start at 580 and average in the low 600’s. The origination of these loans was discontinued in 2005.

Acquired Loans. We only acquire second mortgage loans if they have a total LTV at the time the loan is made of less than 100%. We formerly purchased loans with LTVs of up to 125%. However, we discontinued that practice in 2000. We also greatly curtailed purchasing stand-alone second mortgage loans in 2000, as we would prefer to also hold the first mortgage when a loan has a combined LTV of more than 90%. However, with a credit score in the low to mid 600’s and up, we will still purchase stand-alone second mortgage loans.

Business Lending

We directly originate loans to small businesses. We do not acquire small business loans. Most of the loans we make of this type are for a business generating less than $1,000,000 in gross revenue. If the business owns real estate, we will obtain a lien on the property(ies) owned by the business as part of our loan. If the business does not own real estate, we will usually place a lien on the primary residence of the owner(s) of the business. We prefer to extend credit facilities to a business only when the fair value of the equity in the real estate we have a lien on exceeds the loan amount. We are more collateral-sensitive when making business loans than we are “cash flow” sensitive. In other words, if we are considering a loan for a development stage or start-up business and we find the business plan or the results of operations for the business borrower to be reasonably acceptable, and the credit score of the borrower to be at the high end of our range of acceptability, then we will make the loan provided we are well secured with real estate collateral. Generally, the cash flow will not be present at the time the loan is closed, but will be expected to develop with the use of the loan proceeds. However, we do require that the borrower(s) have good credit and the current ability to repay the loan. In the instances in which a business has accounts receivable as a primary source of repayment, we will obtain a lien on the accounts receivable.

Other Assets Lending 

Some of the loans in our portfolio are not secured by real estate or business assets. Automobiles and our investor notes secure the majority of these loans. These types of loans are generally made to borrowers with whom we have a long-standing relationship.

5

 
Unsecured Lending

Less than one percent of our loan portfolio contains unsecured loans. The majority of these loans are for small amounts, under $5,000, made to borrowers with whom we have a long-standing relationship, or who have been referred to us by our trusted customers. A few of these loans are to borrowers with whom we originally held a collateralized loan, but the collateral has been foreclosed upon and the balances represent the deficiency.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority

Our Chief Executive Officer may approve any loan up to and including $500,000. Our Chief Executive Officer and another member of our Board of Directors together must approve all loans over $500,000.
 
Security of Loan Collateral Procedures 

We have no internal appraisers and, as such, we rely on independent appraisers to determine the value of collateral underlying a loan. For commercial property mortgage loans, in addition to an independent appraisal, we generally require an environmental site assessment to be performed. We also require title and hazard insurance on the property for all first and second mortgage loans. We require a recorded deed of trust or mortgage. In addition, we may require borrowers to make payments to a mortgage escrow account for the payment of property taxes and insurance. We monitor these loans to ensure that all applicable taxes and insurance are timely paid.

Non-Performing Assets
 
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and real estate owned and held for sale. Loans that are delinquent for more than 90 days are evaluated for collectibility and placed in non-accrual status when management determines that future earnings on the loans may be impaired. While in non-accrual status, collections on loans, if any, are recorded as collection of loan principal and no interest is recorded.
 
Loans in non-accrual status totaled $510,697 and $651,895 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had loans of $5,002,259 and $1,748,342, respectively, which were more than 90 days past due and for which we continue to accrue interest. We believe that these loans are adequately collateralized and that both the principal and the related accrued interest are collectible.

Real estate owned represents property acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or purchase, and consists of rental and held for sale real estate. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had held for sale real estate owned of $1,568,655 and $325,223, respectively, which are considered non-performing assets. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had held for rent real estate owned of $675,914 and $814,441, respectively.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
We maintain an allowance for loan losses. The allowance is increased by corresponding charges to provision for loan losses, and by recoveries of loans previously written-off. Write-off of a loan decreases the allowance. The adequacy of the allowance is periodically reviewed and adjusted by management based upon past experience, the value of the underlying collateral for specific loans, known or inherent risks in the loan portfolio and current economic conditions.

6

 
The most common known risk in the loan portfolio is a non-performing or impaired loan (i.e., the loan is more than 90 days late and the possibility of collection is remote). If we have specific knowledge or some other reason to consider a loan impaired, management reviews the loan to determine if an impairment loss is required. Collections on the loan reduce the balance of the impaired asset.

If the non-accrual loan begins performing again, then it is reclassified as a performing asset and will accrue interest retroactively from the last date interest had been previously accrued.

If the impaired loan is only partially recovered, or if after all legal remedies have been exhausted no recovery, or no additional recovery, is available, then the un-recoverable portion is written off against the loan loss allowance and the balance of the loan loss allowance is decreased by the amount of the loan being written-off.

Governmental Regulations

Federal and State Licensing and Supervision

We may from time to time be subject to federal and state laws and regulations relating to banking or lending operations. These regulations may:
 
·
 
 
require us to obtain and maintain additional licenses and qualifications;
 
·
 
 
Subject us to supervision of and examination by regulatory agencies;
 
·
 
 
limit the interest rates, fees and other charges that we are allowed to collect;
 
·
 
 
limit or prescribe other terms of our loan arrangements with borrowers; and/or
 
·
 
 
subject us to potential claims, defenses and other obligations.
 
USA PATRIOT Act

Congress adopted the USA PATRIOT Act (the “Patriot Act”) on October 26, 2001 in response to the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. Under the Patriot Act, certain financial institutions are required to maintain and prepare additional records and reports that are designed to assist the government’s efforts to combat terrorism. The Patriot Act includes sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and required additional regulations, including, among other things, standards for verifying client identification when opening an account and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. This law may impose significant burdens on us to the extent it applies, now or in the future, to our operations.

Governmental Monetary and Credit Policies and Economic Controls

The earnings and growth of the lending industry and ultimately of KH Funding are affected by the monetary and credit policies of governmental authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). An important function of the FRB is to regulate the national supply of credit in order to control recessionary and inflationary pressures. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the FRB to implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the federal funds rate, changes in the discount rate of member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB authorities have had a significant effect on the operating results of lending institutions in the past and are expected to continue to have such an effect in the future. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, including the FRB, no prediction can be made as to possible future changes in interest rates or loan demand or their effect on our business and earnings.

Federal Securities Laws

We are subject to information reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The federal Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the regulations adopted in furtherance thereof made several changes to the Exchange Act to which we are subject. These changes impose additional requirements and restrictions on us, including, among other things, restrictions on loans to and other transactions with insiders, additional disclosure requirements in the reports and other documents that we file with the SEC, and other corporate governance requirements.

Environmental Laws. Certain environmental regulations may affect our operations. For example, our ability to foreclose on the real estate collateralizing our loans may be limited by environmental laws which pertain primarily to commercial properties that require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases on the property. In addition, the owner or operator may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and cleanup costs relating to the contaminated property. While we would not knowingly make a loan collateralized by real property that was contaminated, it is possible that the environmental contamination would not be discovered until after we had made the loan.

Future Legislation

Periodically, the federal and state legislatures consider bills with respect to the regulation of financial institutions. Some of these proposals could significantly change the regulation of the financial services industry. We cannot predict whether such proposals will be adopted or their effect on us if they are adopted.

Although we believe that we are currently in compliance with statutes and regulations applicable to our business, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with existing or future governmental regulations. The failure to comply with any current or subsequently enacted statutes and regulations could result in the suspension or termination of our applicable laws and would have a materially adverse effect on us. Furthermore, the adoption of additional statutes and regulations, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of current statutes and regulations, or the expansion of our business into jurisdictions that have adopted more stringent regulatory requirements than those in which we currently conduct business could limit our activities in the future or significantly increase the cost of regulatory compliance.

Risk Factors
 
Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and investments in our securities, including our investor notes, are subject to a number of risks, including the risks set forth below. You should carefully consider these risks when making investment decisions with respect to KH Funding. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that are not yet identified or that we currently think are insignificant, may also adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our current ability to raise funds for continued operations is limited due to our inability to sell investor notes from or in Maryland.

Historically, a significant portion of our working capital has come from the proceeds of sales of our investor notes. As noted above, we filed a registration statement with the SEC in June 2006 to register the sale of Series 3 and Series 4 investor notes in the aggregate amount of $250,000,000. Although the SEC declared this registration statement effective, it was not declared effective by the Maryland Securities Division. On January 23, 2008, we filed an amendment to the registration to bring it up to date and to renew our selling efforts. Again, although the SEC declared the amendment effective, the Maryland Securities Division has not yet done so. Because we sell many of our investor notes from Maryland and to Maryland residents, our ability to raise funds through sales of our investor notes is currently very limited. We are working diligently with the Maryland Securities Division so that our amended registration statement may be declared effective as soon as possible, but we cannot predict when this will occur, if at all. Management believes that we have sufficient cash resources and assets to meet our current liquidity needs. However, the timing and amounts of investor note redemptions are unpredictable, and our limited ability to sell investor notes at this time could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition if we were to receive investor note redemption requests in an amount that exceeds our cash resources, cash in flows from loans, including unscheduled and unpredictable prepayments, and the cash we can obtain through the liquidation of our saleable assets to satisfy those redemption requests. These liquidity and capital resources concerns, if realized, could jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note B to the audited financial statements presented elsewhere in this report and the section entitled Liquidity and Capital Resources contained in Item 5 of Part II of this report for further information about this risk.
 
We have experienced net losses in recent fiscal years and may not achieve consistent profitability.

In the last five fiscal years of operation, we reported net losses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2005 and 2004. Although we believe we have a good business model, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or an annual basis in the future.

Our assessment of the quality of loans we originate and acquire may be inaccurate.

Before we purchase or originate loans, we perform an evaluation of the loans in order to determine whether they are suitable for our portfolio. Our initial evaluation of the loans may be flawed and actual results may be different than expected which, if unfavorable, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. See the section entitled “Lending Activities” in Item 1 of Part I of this report. The majority of our loans are “hard collateral” loans. A hard collateral loan is a loan in which the loan amount is equal to or less than 70% of the value of the collateral. Even if these loans default, we underwrite them in such a manner that the underlying collateral should be adequate to cover both the principal and interest due on the loan. Nevertheless, in the future, our loan loss percentage could increase, our assessment of collateral values may be inaccurate, and/or collateral values may decrease due to changes in economic or other conditions, any of which could adversely affect our profitability. See the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Our borrowers may fail to repay their loans.

Almost all of our income is generated from our lending business. Thus, the primary risk associated with our business is that persons to whom we lend money will fail to repay their loans or will fail to make timely payments to us. If any our borrowers fail to repay their loans when due, then we may be unable to make payments under our Notes and our investors may lose part of all of their investments. The risks relating to the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans are discussed in more detail below. It is impossible to predict whether one of our borrowers will default or what impact any one borrower’s default may have on our business.

Changes in the economic conditions in our lending areas could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans and the value of the real estate and other collateral securing those loans.

Our lending activities are concentrated in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan areas. Any negative changes that arise in the economy and/or real estate market of these areas could have a negative impact on our net income, the ability of our borrowers to make payments under their loans, and any recovery we or you can obtain by proceeding against the collateral securing those loans. The national and local real estate economies have weakened during the past two years in part due to the widely-reported problems in the sub-prime mortgage loan market. These problems have had the effect of decreasing the amount of credit that is available to borrowers. As a result, sellers of real estate and loans secured by real estate have found it more difficult in recent years to sell their assets at the times and at the prices they desire. These adverse changes in the real estate markets could reduce our ability to make pay our debts as they come due, including investor note redemption requests.

Some of the loans we make and acquire are sub-prime loans, which generally have higher delinquency and default rates than prime mortgage loans.
 
In the last five years, we have increased our purchasing of loans originated by brokers, banks and other lenders that are considered sub-prime loans and we may to continue to expand this component of our operations in the future. At December 31, 2007, we held sub-prime loans in the amount of $4.19 million, or 8.81% of our total loans. Sub-prime loans are loans made to persons with weak credit records or reduced repayment capacities. Sub-prime mortgage loans generally have higher delinquency and default rates than mortgage loans made to prime borrowers. Delinquency interrupts the flow of projected interest income from a mortgage loan, and default can ultimately lead to a loss if the net realizable value of the real property securing the mortgage loan is insufficient to cover the principal and interest due on the mortgage loan.

Recently, the sub-prime mortgage banking environment has experienced considerable strain from rising delinquencies and liquidity pressures. Several high profile sub-prime mortgage lenders have failed. The increased scrutiny of the sub-prime lending market is one of the factors that have impacted general market conditions, as well as several significant sub-prime mortgage originators.

Although we attempt to manage the risks associated with the sub-prime loans that we originate and purchase as described in Item 1 of Part I of this report under the heading “Lending Operations”, if there is a major downturn in real estate values and we experience significant loan defaults, we may not be able to prevent or materially diminish an adverse affect on our financial condition or results of operations. If our underwriting and collection policies and methods are insufficient to control our delinquency and default risks and do not result in appropriate loan pricing, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted.

We operate with limited capital levels and stockholders’ equity.

Capital represents the amount that a corporation’s stockholders have invested in the corporation at any point in time. Generally, a stockholder’s right to a return on his or her capital investment is subordinate to the other obligations of the corporation. Accordingly, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the corporation, capital is paid only after all persons who have a senior right to payment, such as preferred security holders and holders of debt, have been paid. A greater amount of capital provides a greater amount of protection to debt holders in the event of a liquidation or dissolution. As of December 31, 2007, our debt-to-equity ratio is 2.0%, and stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 was 1.95% of our total assets. These levels are not considered adequate to fully protect our investors against losses in the event we became insolvent or had to liquidate. Accordingly, holders of our securities could lose all or a part of their investments if we were to become insolvent or forced to liquidate and our assets at that time were not sufficient to satisfy our obligations to those holders. For further information about this risk, see the section of Item 6 of Part II of this report entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

We have not established a line of credit with any other lender to provide funds for operations.

To fund our operations and to repay our investor notes, we rely solely on our net income from operations and funds received from investors who purchase our investor notes and, from time to time, shares of our common stock. We do not maintain any line of credit with any lender and have no present intention of establishing such a line of credit. Accordingly, if our net income and other traditional sources of funds are not sufficient to pay our debts and other obligations as they come due, our operations, and thus our financial condition and results of operations, could be materially and adversely impacted.

10

 
Our allowance for loan losses may be insufficient.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents management’s estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of, among other things, general economic, political and regulatory conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, the value and marketability of the collateral for the loan, loan concentrations, our loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends all of which may undergo material changes. If management’s assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect and the allowance for loan losses is inadequate to absorb future losses, our earnings and capital could be significantly and adversely affected. Although management uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used or adverse developments arise with respect to our non-performing or performing loans. Material additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease in our net income and capital and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Our remedies for collecting on a defaulted loan may be inadequate.

We may fail to collect funds from originated and acquired loans. Our ability to fully recover amounts due under the originated and acquired loans may be adversely affected by, among other things:
 
·
 
 
the financial failure of the borrowers;
 
·
 
 
adverse changes in the values of the real estate or other property that are pledged to secure our loans;
 
·
 
 
the purchase of fraudulent loans;
 
·
 
 
misrepresentations by a broker, bank or other lender;
 
·
 
 
third-party disputes; and
 
·
 
 
third-party claims with respect to security interests.
 
Any of these events could require us to seek enforcement of a borrower’s guarantee, which could prove to be inadequate to fully collect the loans. Therefore, we may experience losses on acquired or originated loans in the future. These potential future losses may be significant, may vary from current estimates or historical results and could exceed the amount of our reserves for loan losses. We do not maintain insurance covering such losses. In addition, the amount of provisions for loan losses may be either greater or less than actual future write-offs of the loans relating to these provisions. Any of these events could have a materially adverse effect on our business. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
 
Our lending and investment activities are not diverse.

Our operations primarily consist of, and our income is derived from, investing in mortgage loans that we purchase from brokers, banks and other lenders and from loans that we make to small businesses and individuals. In addition, we invest excess cash in investment grade debt securities issued by financial companies that we hold for liquidity and investment purposes. Further, we hold as investments many of the properties on which we foreclose. Most of these properties are held as rental investments. This lack of diversification, of investing only in loans, and to a lesser degree in bonds and real estate, increases our exposure to the risk of loss if a substantial number of our loans become uncollectible. This increases the risk that uncollectible loans could materially affect our financial results.

Our lending activities are concentrated in the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan areas.

Our success depends in large part on the general economic conditions of the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. The local economic conditions in the areas have a significant impact on the demand for our loans as well as the ability of our customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of our funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities markets or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
11

 
We may not be able to sustain our historical levels of loan originations and acquisitions.

It will be necessary for us to continue adding loans to our investment portfolio because we need to re-invest proceeds of loan payoffs and invest the additional capital received from the sale of our Notes. Our ability to sustain the level of loan originations and purchases needed depends upon a variety of factors outside our control, including:
 
·
 
 
interest rates;
 
·
 
 
economic conditions in our primary market area;
 
·
 
 
decline in real estate values;
 
·
 
 
competition; and
 
·
 
 
regulatory restrictions.
  
Our success is dependent in part on our senior management team.

We are dependent upon the continued services and experience of our senior management team, including Robert L. Harris, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and President, James E. Parker, a Vice President, Louise B. Sehman, our Secretary, and Ronald L. Nicholson, a Vice President. We depend on the services of Messrs. Harris, Parker, and Nicholson and Ms. Sehman and other future members of our senior management team to, among other things, continue our growth strategies and maintain and develop our client relationships.

We have no employment or non-compete agreements with any of our executive officers or other employees. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or any of our other key employees would disrupt our operations and would delay our planned growth while we worked to replace those employees. We currently have in place, on a continuing basis, director and officer insurance. We maintain “key person” life insurance on Robert L. Harris only. As a result, if any of our other key employees were to die or become unable to provide services for us, our operations would be disrupted and we would have no means of recovering any resulting losses. In addition, if Mr. Harris were to die or become unable to provide services for us, there is no assurance that the insurance proceeds would be sufficient to recover any resulting losses.
 
Some of our officers, directors and principal stockholders have invested in our investor notes, which may create conflicts of interest.

As of December 31, 2007, certain of our officers, directors and principal stockholders held investor notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $11.44 million. Although such persons’ relationships with KH Funding encourages them to act in our best interests, circumstances could arise where such individuals, particularly those that are members of our Board of Directors, will be in a position of allocating available cash in a manner that may not be in our best interests or the best interests of our other security holders. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, loans made by us to some of our officers, directors and stockholders totaled $10.65 million. Although we believe that each of these transactions were on terms as favorable as could have been obtained from an unrelated party, they could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest which may not necessarily be resolved in our favor. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. See the Item 12 of Part III of this report for further information about our transactions with related parties.

We have loaned significant amounts of money to some of our officers and stockholders.

From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we make loans to our officers, directors and stockholders. At December 31, 2007, we had 12 loans receivable totaling $10,649,192, or 22.24% of all loans, from officers, stockholders and entities controlled by stockholders. See Note I and Note N to the financial statements presented elsewhere in this report for further information about these loan concentrations. Of these loans, six loans were made to a significant stockholder and/or her affiliates with an aggregate balance due at December 31, 2007 of $9.98 million, of which $400,736 is unsecured, $5,705,000 is secured by first or second mortgages on 10 apartment buildings in Baltimore, Maryland, a first mortgage on a residential property in Woodbine, Maryland, shares of KH Funding common stock and KH Funding investment accounts owned by the borrowers, $224,862 is secured by shares of KH Funding common stock, and $3,648,645 is secured by a second lien on commercial property in Langley Park, Maryland. As of December 31, 2007, all of the loans to this stockholder and her affiliates were past due and on the watch list, but were brought current by March 31, 2008. Although these borrowers are current and management believes these loans are adequately collateralized based on current appraisals, no guarantees can be made as to future financial condition of these borrowers or future changes in the values of the underlying collateral. Generally, our loans to insiders present the same risks as our other loans.

12

 
Our Board of Directors does not have a separately-designated compensation committee, which may cause conflicts of interest with our directors and certain of our officers.

Currently, we do not have a compensation committee and do not have plans to form such a committee. Our Board of Directors makes decisions regarding compensation, including the compensation for directors and executive officers. Our Board of Directors is not entirely comprised of independent members, and our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, is a member of the Board of Directors. This situation may give rise to conflicts of interests between KH Funding and our directors and certain of our officers, which may not necessarily be resolved in our favor. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our lending activities subject us to the risk of environmental liabilities.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. Although we have policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our securities are not insured against loss by the FDIC or any governmental agency.

Neither the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation nor any other governmental or private agency insures our common stock or our investor notes. The repayment of our investor notes is dependent solely upon our earnings, our working capital and other sources of liquidity available to us. If these sources of repayment are inadequate, investors could lose their entire investment.
 
Our liquidity and capital resources could be significantly impacted by redemption requests from holders of our investor notes.

We do not contribute funds on a regular basis to a separate account, commonly known as a sinking fund, to redeem our investor notes upon maturity. Accordingly, holders of the investor notes must rely on our cash reserves, which we fund with revenues from operations, and other sources of liquidity (such as saleable loans and investment securities) for redemption. Our ability to generate revenues from operations in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, statutory and other factors that are beyond our control. Therefore, funds from these sources may not be sufficient to meet our anticipated future operating expenditures and debt repayment obligations as they become due.

The holders of our one day demand notes are given the option to withdraw funds by providing one day’s advance notice to us of their redemption request, or through the use of a KH Funding-investor joint checking account provided through Bank of America and other local banks. These redemption privileges necessitate that we keep adequate cash reserves available to accommodate immediate redemption requests, which could cause the company to suffer severe cash fluctuations. In an attempt to manage this potential risk, we have established “maximum balance” limits on the amount of our one day and 30 day demand notes that may be held by any one investor. Specifically, no one investor may hold more than an aggregate of $250,000 in one day demand notes and, no one investor may hold more than an aggregate of $500,000 in our 30 day demand notes. We reserve the right to waive these maximum balance limits for any investor; however, we only do so in very limited instances and after careful analysis of the facts and circumstances. These maximum balance limits do not provide complete protection from the possibility of severe cash fluctuations or shortages.

If we were to experience a large number of redemption requests in a short period of time and our cash reserves or saleable assets were not sufficient to satisfy these requests, holders of our investor notes would not be timely paid and could lose some or all of their investments. At December 31, 2007, approximately $7.52 million of our one day demand notes were outstanding and approximately $13.85 million of our 30 day demand notes were outstanding. At that same date, we had approximately $0.10 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $11.44 million in residential first mortgage loans that we believe could be sold to satisfy redemption demands. See Item 5 of Part II of this report under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a more detailed discussion on our liquidity strategy.
 
13


We have the right to make a mandatory call of the our investor notes.

We may prepay the outstanding principal amount of our fixed term notes and demand notes at any time without penalty or premium. If we do so, investors may not be able to re-invest with us or elsewhere at comparable interest rates and may, therefore, earn less interest income than originally expected.

Our Series 4 investor notes are unsecured and subordinate in right of repayment to our Series 3 investor notes and any other senior debt we may incur.

Our Series 4 investor notes are unsecured obligations of KH Funding and are subordinated to our Series 3 investor notes and any other senior debt we may incur. If we were to become insolvent, our senior debt would have to be paid in full prior to payment of our Series 4 investor notes in our liquidation. As a result, there may not be adequate funds or assets remaining to pay the principal and interest on the Series 4 investor notes.

A change in market interest rates may reduce our profits and impair our ability to repay our investor notes.

Rapid changes, either upward or downward, in interest rates may adversely affect our profits. Any future rise in interest rates may:
 
·
 
 
reduce customer demand for our products;
 
·
 
 
widen investor spread requirements;
 
·
 
 
change loan prepayment rates;
 
·
 
 
increase our cost of funds;
 
·
 
 
reduce the spread between the rate of interest we receive on loans and interest rates we must pay under our investor notes; and
 
·
 
 
limit our access to borrowings in the capital markets.
 
We are subject to risks associated with decreases in interest rates because we have issued fixed rate investor notes with scheduled maturities of over one year. At December 31, 2007, we had $16.67 million of fixed rate investor notes with scheduled maturities greater than one year. If market interest rates decrease in the future, the rates paid on our fixed rate investor notes that we issue in the future could exceed the current market rate paid for similar instruments which could result in a reduction in our profitability which could impair our ability to repay our investor notes.
 
ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
We rent office space from which we operate our headquarters at 10801 Lockwood Drive, Suite 370, Silver Spring, Maryland 20901. The annual rent for this office space is $101,748, and the lease expires on October 31, 2015. 

The real estate we own is generally acquired at foreclosure or through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The more expensive properties on which we foreclose are sold as soon as possible. Generally, we rent out the lower and medium priced single-family residential properties we acquire through foreclosure and continue ownership for a short period. Often these properties have a rental value that is high relative to its carrying value. If so, we have an opportunity to maximize profits from an ultimate sale by finding a good tenant, making cosmetic and appliance upgrades, and then selling the property for, hopefully, a higher market value than may have been realized by a quick sale. In order to determine the fair market value of a foreclosed property we obtain an appraisal from a licensed real estate professional. Management believes that our properties are adequately insured.
 
We currently own residential real estate in the following areas:
 
·
one property held for sale in Louisville, Mississippi;
·
one property held for sale in Gainesville, Georgia;
·
four properties held for sale in South Bend, Indiana;
·
one rental property in Grand Prairie, Texas;
·
one rental property and one property held for sale in Washington, DC;
·
one rental property in Montgomery, Alabama;
·
one rental property in Waco, Texas;
·
two rental properties in Leander, Texas; and
·
one rental property in Greenwood, South Carolina
·
one rental property in Silver Spring, Maryland
·
one property held for sale, South Carolina

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On March 8, 2005, we were notified that a lawsuit had been filed against us (in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland) by SBM Financial, LLC (“SBM”). SBM claims to operate a business similar to ours and that we have intentionally interfered with its ability to retain their existing investors. We believe that the SEC has requested that a receiver be appointed to liquidate the assets of SBM. We believe that this lawsuit has no merit, and we expect it to have no material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We are at times, in the ordinary course of business, a party to legal actions normally associated with a lending institution. Management believes that no currently pending ordinary course litigation is likely to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Market, Holders and Dividends

As of December 31, 2007, there were 52 holders of record of our common stock holding 2,724,981 shares. There is no established trading market for the shares of our common stock, and transactions are infrequent and privately negotiated by the buyer and seller in each case. Management cannot predict whether any market will develop in the near future. The following table sets forth, to the extent known to us, the high and low sales prices for the shares of our common stock for each quarterly period of 2006 and 2007.

Cash dividends on shares of our common stock are at the discretion of the Board of Directors, based upon such factors as operating results, financial condition, capital adequacy, statutory requirements, and stockholder return. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that dividends will be declared in the future. The Board suspended paying quarterly dividends after the second quarter of 2007 to preserve capital.

Both stock options and warrants permit the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the option or warrant and the payment of the exercise prices specified in those grants. These issuances were not made pursuant to any formal policy or plan, but instead were issued on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors determined appropriate at the time of grant or sale.

The only sale of unregistered equity securities in 2007 occurred on April 26, 2007. This sale involved 330 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.60 per share. Net proceeds to us were $858. This transaction was consummated without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving a public offering.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
Overview
 
Our primary business activities consist of originating, acquiring and servicing mortgage loans, and issuing interest-bearing debt securities to investors. Our business operations are conducted solely from our headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland.
 
We emphasize the direct origination of small commercial real estate mortgage loans and investment property residential mortgage loans. We purchase first and second residential mortgage loans nationwide from other lenders and banks.
 
We have over 1,300 investors who have purchased our investor notes dating as far back as 1990. The note purchasers have been attracted primarily through word-of-mouth referrals. The proceeds from the sale of our investor notes are used for investment in real estate mortgage loans, business loans, investment grade debt securities and real property and also to redeem outstanding investor notes. As discussed elsewhere in this report, our ability to sell our investor notes in our principal markets is currently very limited due to the fact that our amended registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the Maryland Securities Division. As a result of this delay, our ability to raise funds for operations outside our regular operations income is also currently very limited.

Our net income depends largely upon our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from loans and investments, referred to as interest-earning assets, and interest expense on investor Notes and other borrowed funds, referred to as interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income is significantly affected by general economic conditions, policies established by regulatory authorities and competition.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and 2006
 
Assets. Total assets decreased $9.93 million, or 15.69%, to $53.39 million at December 31, 2007, from $63.33 million at December 31, 2006. The size of the gross loan portfolio decreased to $47.89 million at December 31, 2007 from $54.70 million at December 31, 2006. These decreases resulted primarily from loan payoffs coupled with our inability to fully implement our business strategy by raising capital through the sale of our investor notes during 2007. In addition, in January 2007 we were required by the Maryland Securities Division to redeem an aggregate of $464,511 in investor notes that were sold to unaccredited investors without registration.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, non-accrual loans totaled $510,697 and $651,895, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were loans of $5,002,259 and $1,748,342, respectively, more than 90 days past due on the books of the Company that continue to earn interest. Management believes that these loans are well-collateralized, and the borrowers, in most cases, are making scheduled payments.
 
Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $9.55 million, or 15.43%, to $52.35 million at December 31, 2007, from $61.91 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was largely the result of the redemption of outstanding investor notes in 2007, including the notes that the Securities Division required us to redeem in January 2007.
 
Equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $1,039,066 in 2007 from $1,418,314 in 2006 due to the payment of cash dividends to common stockholders in 2007 and the current years’ net loss of $264,525. These dividends were suspended after the second quarter of 2007 to preserve capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of our business. These arrangements consist primarily of our lines-of-credit or draw-type loans. At December 31, 2007, we had $6.30 million in loans of this type, compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2006. The unused or unfunded amount on these types of loans totaled $ .98 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $3.42 million at December 31, 2006.
 
In addition to our credit commitment as outlined above, we have certain contractual obligations that are discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this Item 5.

Comparison of Operating Results for Years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
 
The average yield earned on loans receivable decreased to 10.65% for fiscal year 2007 from 11.05% for fiscal year 2006. The decrease was due primarily to the increased payoffs of higher interest rate loans during the falling interest rate environment of 2007.
 
The average rate paid on investor notes increased to 7.09% for fiscal year 2007 from 6.53% for fiscal year 2006. The net result was a decrease in net interest rate spread, which was 3.56% for 2007 as compared to 4.52% in 2006.
 
Net (Loss) Income. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $264,525, compared to net income of $160,568 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The loss in 2007 was due primarily to $60,000 in write downs related to two real estate properties held as real estate owned that were acquired prior to 2007 to recognize a deterioration in property condition and market conditions, and mark-downs to net realizable value of two properties acquired by foreclosure in 2007. The two properties acquired in 2007 were originally booked at an aggregate fair market value of $1.55 million. Historically, we carried real estate owned on our books at market value, but beginning this year we reduced the values by an additional 10% to cover costs of sale to provide for a more conservative book value. This change resulted in a combined $155,000 write down on these two loans. Additionally, our ability to make and acquire loans in 2007 and 2006 was hampered by our inability to raise funds through the sale of our investor notes.

Interest Income. Total interest income was $6.04 million in 2007, compared to $6.14 million in 2006. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in loans outstanding due to the increased frequency of loan payoffs in 2007. The interest income for all periods includes point and fee income, interest earned on bank investments and marketable securities.
 
19


Interest Expense. Interest expense was $4.34 million in 2007, compared to $4.04 million for 2006. The increase resulted from an increase in the average rate paid on investor notes to 7.09% in 2007 from 6.53% in 2006. The interest expense includes fees paid to broker-dealers who sold our investor notes.
 
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $510,185 in 2007 and $312,858 in 2006. Our non-accrual loans were $510,697 at December 31, 2007 and $651,895 at December 31, 2006, and our foreclosed real estate held for sale was $1,568,655 and $325,223, at those same respective dates. Our allowance for loan losses was $495,480 at the end of 2007 and $452,154 at the end of 2006. Relative to loan write-offs in 2007 of $466,860, our provision for loan losses of $510,185 is about 109% of our write-offs.
 
Non-Interest (Loss) Income. We had a non-interest loss of $17,086 in 2007 and a non-interest loss of $78,307 in 2006. The loss in 2007 was due to a write down of an investment held for sale, a loss on the sale of investment securities and losses on the sale of real estate.
 
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased to $1,434,656 in 2007 from $1,550,840 in 2006. The decrease was the result of reductions of $67,329 in investor note offering cost expenses and $62,246 in real estate maintenance expenses.

Income Taxes. KH Funding has elected to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and accordingly no income tax items appear in the financial statements. An S Corporation is an IRS tax classification for a domestically owned corporation with no more than 100 owners who have elected to pay taxes under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. An S corporation receives the protection of the corporate form, but is taxed like a partnership; it is exempt from the corporate income tax, but its profits flow directly to the stockholders, where they are taxed as personal income.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

To make and acquire loans, to satisfy redemption requests from holders of our investor notes and to otherwise fund operations, we depend on the availability of cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of cash are principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sales of participation interests in loans, income from our investments, rental income, and the proceeds from the sale of investor notes. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investments are predictable sources of funds, the sale of investor notes and mortgage loan prepayments are unpredictable and greatly influenced by interest rate trends, economic conditions and competition. Our one day demand notes are a major cause of turnover in our cash positions. During 2007, we received approximately $17.1 million in loan payments, which included unscheduled prepayments and payments due at maturity, and paid approximately $12.6 million in net investor note redemptions.

If funds are not readily available to meet our liquidity needs, we historically have sold some of our mortgage loans and available-for-sale investment securities. We generally buy and originate more loans than are readily saleable, but we try to structure our acquisitions so that we have the ability to sell these loans and increase our cash position in a relatively short period of time. At December 31, 2007, we held more than $11.44 million in mortgage loans that we believe could be sold within a short period of time. It should be noted, however, that the national and local real estate economies have weakened during the past two years in part due to the widely-reported problems in the sub-prime mortgage loan market. These problems have had the effect of decreasing the amount of credit that is available to borrowers. As a result, sellers of real estate and loans secured by real estate have found it more difficult in recent years to sell their assets at the times and at the prices they desire. We, and our ability to liquidate assets to satisfy liquidity needs, could be adversely impacted by this uncertain real estate market. At December 31, 2007, we had no available-for-sale investment securities, compared to $581,149 at December 31, 2006. The decline in available-for-sale securities resulted primarily from the sale of these securities during 2007 to fund operations and the fact we are not actively investing in marketable securities because their rates have remained constant, while the Federal-Funds Target Rate has increased, therefore reducing the margin and making them a less attractive investment option. We expect to begin investing in marketable securities again when corporate bond rates increase, but in the meantime, we are investing more in lower yielding loans that can be sold quickly.

As stated above, however, our ability to sell investor notes in our principal markets is currently very limited due to delays in registering our current offering with the Maryland Securities Division. Our cash and cash equivalents have been significantly impacted by this delay. At December 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents were $0.10 million, compared to outstanding one day demand notes of $7.52 million and outstanding 30 day demand notes of $13.85 million. Overall our cash dropped during 2007 and 2006 due to payments and payoffs of mortgage loans. Additionally, redemptions of our investor notes in 2006 and 2007 exceeded sales of investor notes due to our limited ability to sell investor notes. During 2007, we accepted loans (Other loans payable) from some of our existing security holders in the net amount of $.70 million.

Management believes that the risk of not being able to fund investor note redemption requests exists only if the requests for redemption exceed the amount of readily available cash (i.e., if our liquidity is insufficient to fund redemptions). Upon the sale of an investor note, the funds for redemption are immediately available. Part of our investment strategy is to invest proceeds of sales of our investor notes into higher yielding, less liquid investments, such as mortgages, in which case the funds are available, just not immediately. Only holders of one day demand investor notes can ask for funds sooner than 30 days after investment, and we make an effort to keep funds available for these requests. Holders of 30 day demand investor notes can ask for funds sooner than 90 days after investment. All other types of investor notes are redeemable upon maturity, or prior to maturity on 90 days advance notice, subject to a penalty. We strive to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all anticipated redemption requests. To this end, we normally hold 5% to 20% of our assets in cash and cash equivalents to fund redemptions of one day demand notes, which has historically been sufficient for us to meet our obligations.

All one, three and five year fixed term investor notes are redeemable upon maturity, or prior to maturity on 90 days advance notice, subject to a penalty. These features were designed to provide us with ample notice for redemptions. If necessary, we sell loans individually or in bulk to fund requests from holders of these notes. For example, at December 31, 2007, we held $42.15 million in first lien residential and investment property loans that we believe can be sold in part to a participant bank or in whole to other lenders. Further, we held $3.80 million in business line-of-credit loans and second lien loans which earn higher yields than the first trust loans and can also be sold, although generally they take longer to sell and are sold at a discount. The estimated market value of these loans exceeds the outstanding balance of our outstanding one day demand and 30 day demand notes, under which the investor could request redemption at December 31, 2007 of $ 21.38 million. See Note B and Note D to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information about our liquidity.
 
We intend to continue to expand our operations through future public offerings of investor notes marketed by us and select, contracted broker-dealers and from the private placement of our common stock. We also intend to increase our capital level as a percent of total assets through the private sale of stock from time-to-time. However, there is no assurance that such transactions will occur, especially in light of the current delay in the effectiveness of our amended registration statement covering the sale of investor notes.
 
Once we are again able to sell investor notes, we expect that we will be able to attract more investors who are interested in our longer-term fixed rate notes. We are now offering trust services for IRA accounts through our Trust Services Department. We intend to expand these services and believe that IRA investors generally look for investments of a longer-term nature, which complements our preferred mode of investing.
 
Net proceeds from our investor note offerings received in prior years have been used to fund new loans. However, rather than directly originating new loans, in the last five years we have purchased ever-larger portions of loans that have been added to our portfolio and are now purchasing approximately 80% of our new loans. We intend to continue the expansion of this wholesale component of our operations and have it be a major part of our loan acquisition strategy. This increased wholesale component should enable us to expand our operations and increase our net profit with a limited amount of additional personal and expense because we anticipate that only a minimal expansion of our administrative functions will be needed to support an increased wholesale component in our operations.
 
21

 
Additionally, we intend to purchase more liquid, marketable loans and to increase the volume of loans we purchase. To increase our investment and portfolio activity, we plan to identify and utilize additional brokers, lenders and banks as sources for our loan acquisitions.

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates - Our financial statements and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is generally to increase the value of underlying collateral for the loans we make. Unlike typical industrial companies, nearly all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than the effects of inflation generally have on the typical industrial companies.

 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The SEC has issued guidelines on the disclosure of critical accounting policies, which are those policies that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
 
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note A to the audited financial statements presented elsewhere in this report. Management believes the following significant accounting policies also are considered critical accounting policies:
 
Loan Impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on available information or current events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not considered impaired. We measure impairment on a loan by loan basis using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market value, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. However, impairment is based on the fair value of the collateral if it is determined that foreclosure is probable.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses. We periodically evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that might affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. While we use information available in establishing the allowance for loan losses, evaluation or assessments are inherently subjective and future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Pronouncements Adopted
 
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This statement amends SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140 by: permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifying which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; establishing a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifying that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amending SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement amends SFAS No. 140 with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. It requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations and requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits the choice between the “amortization method” and the “fair value measurement method” for the subsequent measurement of the servicing assets or liabilities and allows for a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities at initial adoption. The statement also requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
22

 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, which provides guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. These interpretations are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of these interpretations did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2008, with no material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective
 
In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) on Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods as defined in SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The EITF reached a consensus that Bank Owned Life Insurance policies purchased for this purpose do not effectively settle the entity’s obligation to the employee in this regard and, thus, the entity must record compensation costs and a related liability. Entities should recognize the effects of applying this Issue through either, (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effective adjustment to retained earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. This Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This pronouncement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
On November 5, 2007, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings. This SAB supersedes SAB 105 and expresses the current view that, consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. Management has evaluated the effects of the rule and does not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141, Revised 2007 (SFAS 141R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R’s objective is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the implementation of SFAS 141R to have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management does not anticipate the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
KH Funding Company
Silver Spring, Maryland
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of KH Funding Company (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As is more fully explained in Note B to the financial statements, the Company has not yet gained approval from the Securities Division of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General to offer and sell certain investor notes from Maryland or to Maryland residents. Although the Company is presently able to meet its current liquidity needs, this delay and resulting inability to raise capital through sales of investor notes presents a significant risk that the Company may have difficulty meeting its future liquidity needs, which include making and acquiring loans, redeeming outstanding investor notes, and paying other operational expenses. This risk would be realized if the Company were to receive investor note redemption requests, the timing and amounts of which are unpredictable, in amounts that exceed its cash resources, cash inflows from loans, including unscheduled and unpredictable prepayments, and the cash it can obtain through the liquidation of saleable assets. Additionally, stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 has decreased to 1.95% of total assets which we believe is inadequate to fully protect against potential losses. Although the Company has been able to meet its liquidity needs in the past through sources of funds other than investor note proceeds, the Company's current situation raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
This annual report on Form 10-KSB does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because management’s report was not subject to attestation pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only this management’s report.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their cost.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (the “COSO Framework”). Based on its evaluation, management has concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and that, accordingly, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007.

A “material weakness” is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A “significant deficiency” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of a company’s financial reporting.

The material weaknesses relate to the following:

 
·
Lack of tangible audit trails, such as documentation, dates, and signatures, of the performance of control activities such as review of journal entries, reconciliation of accounts, and valuation of collateral and properties.

 
·
Missing supporting documentation for loan files.

 
·
We had one person, Mr. Harris, performing the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. As a result, the Company did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within our critical financial reporting applications, the related modules and financial reporting processes.

 
·
CEO/CFO membership on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which prevented the Audit Committee from being comprised solely of independent directors during 2007.

Although management believes that appropriate control activities are performed by Company personnel, we recognize the need for better documentation so that the performance of our business and controls can be independently verified through our periodic internal control assessments. We are currently taking steps to implement audit trails for all key control activities. Also, we are in the process of reviewing the loan and investor files and obtaining any missing information so that all incomplete loan and investor files can be made complete. Because the Company has a limited number of employees, management has a significant level of involvement in the activities of the Company. Moreover, management believes that the Company’s operations are not overly complex and that, accordingly, the performance of the CEO and CFO roles can be managed by a single person. The Company’s current capital resources are limited, and the hiring of a separate CFO will likely further limit these resources. Nevertheless, the Company plans to separate the CEO and CFO duties currently handled by Mr. Harris by hiring a Chief Financial Officer during 2008. Finally, Mr. Harris resigned as member of the Audit Committee effective January 16, 2008. The Company will report on progress in improving these controls throughout 2008.

26

 
Even though management is not aware of any instance in which the Company failed to identify or resolve a control or disclosure matter or failed to perform a timely and effective review, the deficiencies described above could result in a misstatement of balance sheet and income statement accounts and statements of cash flow in our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that these deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

Notwithstanding management’s assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007, management believes that the financial statements included in this annual report correctly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years covered herein.

KH Funding Company
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
 
NOTE A—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
 
Nature of Operation
 
KH Funding Company (the “Company”) operated as a general partnership from its founding in December 1990 until July 1, 1994, at which date it incorporated. The Company is an authorized mortgage lender in the State of Maryland, and provides lending services in the Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas, primarily to small businesses and individuals and also purchases mortgage loans nationwide. The lending services the Company provides include originating, buying and selling loans and servicing its loans in house.
 
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements
 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 2006 financial statements to conform with the 2007 presentation.
 
Investments Available for Sale
 
Most of the Company’s investments are considered available for sale instruments and are recorded in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The cost of securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Net unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in a write-down of the individual security to its fair market value; write-downs are reflected in earnings as a realized loss on available-for-sale securities. Factors affecting the determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include a downgrading of the security by a rating agency, a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer, or that management would not have the intent or ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
 
Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans receivable are stated as unpaid principal balance net of any discounts, premiums, unamortized deferred fees and payments in process, less the allowance for loan losses.

Interest income from loans receivable is recognized using the interest method whereby interest income is recognized based upon the effective rate based upon outstanding principal. Loan origination fees received from borrowers are deferred and amortized into income over the established average life of related loan under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method. Loan premiums and discounts are also amortized into interest income under the same method.

The Company pays fees to third parties in connection with the acquisition of loans. These costs are amortized against interest income over the estimated average life of the loans under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method.

The Company incurs direct loan origination costs in its direct lending activities. It also incurs direct costs when it acquires loans. These direct costs are capitalized and amortized against interest income over the estimated average life of the loans under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method.

The allowance for loan losses is increased for charges to income and decreased for charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known or inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations which may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of underlying collateral and current economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s allowance for loan losses could change in the near term.
 
32

 
The allowance for loan losses is the result of an estimation done pursuant to either Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, or SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The allowance consists of a specifically allocated component and a general unallocated component.

The specific allowances are established in cases in which management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a loan that leads management to believe the probability that a loss may be incurred in an amount different from the amount determined by general allowance calculation described below.

The general unallocated component of the allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to corresponding categories of outstanding homogenous loans in an attempt to reduce the difference between estimated losses inherent in the portfolio and observed losses. The Company originates loans for various loan categories to include 1st Trust Real Estate, 2nd Trust Real Estate, Investment, Business Assets, etc. Each category has a specific percentage loss history for the past five years. Based on this percentage loss history, the Company reserves a similar percentage for the current balance of loans by category. These percentages, quantified in dollar amounts, comprise our general allowance for loan losses. Environmental factors are also considered in the calculation but are not a material component of the allowance.

Loans that are delinquent for more than three months are evaluated for collectibility and placed in non-accrual status when management determines that future earnings on that loan may be impaired. While in non-accrual status, collections on loans, if any, are recorded as collection of loan principal and no interest is recorded.
 
Impaired Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Under the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, a loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the loan’s contractual terms. The impairment of the loan is measured at the present value of the expected cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate, or the loan’s observable market price. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loans principal balance. Interest income on the other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of three to 30 years, primarily using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.

Real Estate Owned
 
Real estate owned represents property acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or purchase and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value at the date of acquisition. In order to determine the fair value, we obtain an opinion of value from a licensed real estate professional. The difference between cost and fair value at the time of foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent impairment of value is charged to operations. Costs relating to the improvements of the property are capitalized. Holding costs are charged to expense as incurred. Subsequent to the foreclosure the property is advertised for rent or sale. Management makes the determination of whether to hold, rent or to sell the property on a case-by-case basis. Buildings held for rental are depreciated over 30.5 years. Real estate owned which is held for sale is not depreciated. Impairment changes are recognized when the fair value of the property falls below its carrying value.
 
Notes Payable
 
We offer several different types of investor notes to our investors. Some notes are sold directly by us and many are sold through brokers. When brokers are involved, the Company pays brokerage fees which it capitalizes and amortizes into interest expense over the life of related notes.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company has elected under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code to be treated as an S Corporation for tax purposes, and accordingly, items of income and loss are taxed to the stockholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is necessary in the financial statements.
 
33


Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is derived by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and does not include the effect of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is derived by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. For this calculation the effect of 150,000 options have been excluded for 2006, as their effect would be antidilutive. For 2007, all 241,250 options have been excluded because they would be antidilutive given the net loss in that year.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the prospective method as the standard. Because the Company’s shares are not publicly traded, we used the Minimum Value Method to value our stock-based compensation. Under that method, we will recognize as compensation expense over the service (or vesting) period of the grantees. In addition, at January 1, 2006, the adoption date of SFAS 123(R), the Company had no unvested options outstanding.

Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders’ equity during a period, except those relating to investments by and distributions to stockholders. Our comprehensive income consists of net earnings and unrealized gains and losses on investments available-for-sale. Accumulated other comprehensive income is displayed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
 
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. In June 2006, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with several state securities regulators a registration statement covering an aggregate of $250,000,000 of Series 3 and Series 4 investor notes. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, but has not yet been declared effective by the Division of Securities of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General (the “Maryland Securities Division”). On January 23, 2008, the Company filed an amendment to this registration statement to update it and so that the Company could renew its investor note selling efforts. Again, although this amendment was declared effective by the SEC, the Maryland Securities Division has not yet declared this amendment effective. Until the Maryland Securities Division declares this amendment effective, the Company is unable to sell any of these investor notes from Maryland or to any Maryland resident. Because the Company’s sale of investor notes is largely dependent on its ability to offer them from Maryland and/or to Maryland residents, this registration delay presents a significant risk that the Company may have difficulty meeting, or even the inability to meet, its future liquidity needs. The Company requires cash to make and acquire loans, redeem outstanding investor notes, and pay other operational expenses. During 2007, the Company’s cash receivables from loan repayments—unscheduled prepayments and payments at maturity ($17.1 million)—exceeded its net investor note redemptions ($12.6 million) by approximately $4.5 million. Although the Company anticipates that it will continue to receive unscheduled and scheduled loan payments on a going-forward basis, there can be no guaranty that income generated from loans in the future will exceed the amounts needed to fund redemption requests and pay other operational expenses. Additionally, stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 has decreased to 1.95% of total assets, which the Company believes to be inadequate to fully protect it against potential losses. Accordingly, because both future income from loans and cash needed for operations, including investor note redemptions, are uncertain and because the Company cannot predict when, if at all, its amended registration will be declared effective in Maryland, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
34

 
Management is diligently working with the Maryland Securities Division to ensure that its amended registration statement is declared effective so that it may sell its investor notes from Maryland and to Maryland residents. Until such approval is obtained, management intends to carefully monitor and manage the Company’s assets and liquidity needs.

NOTE C—INVESTMENT SECURITIES - AVAILABLE FOR SALE
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no marketable securities. However, securities available for sale consists of the following at December 31, 2006:

The corporate bond position held at December 31, 2006 was sold in total on August 24, 2007, incurring a loss of $52,267.

NOTE D—OTHER INVESTMENTS
 
The Company has invested excess funds in several development stage companies. Because the Company maintains a minority position in these investments and cannot exert control the investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting whereby only cash transactions effect the carrying value. There is no readily determinable market value for these investments. Management periodically reviews their status to determine if there has been any impairment to their value.
 
During 2007, an additional write down of the remaining investment reduced the carrying value at December 31, 2007 by $25,436.
 
The carrying value of Other Investments, consisting of one investment, was $25,437 and $50,872 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
NOTE E—LOANS RECEIVABLE
 
Loans receivable consist of 187 collateralized loans and seven uncollateralized loans for 2007, and 220 collateralized loans and nine uncollateralized loans for 2006. The loans receivable originate from various individuals and businesses ranging in balance from $1,199 to $3,648,645 for 2007 and $599 to $2,718,081 for 2006, bearing interest rates ranging from 3.99% to 24% in 2007 and from 3.99% to 24% in 2006, with a weighted-average yield of 10.65% and 11.05%, respectively. Uncollateralized loans constitute approximately 0.4% of the gross loan value at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
Loan origination fees received from borrowers are deferred and amortized into interest income over the estimated average life of the loans under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method. The unamortized loan origination fees, which are included as a reduction to loans receivable balance, were $57,670 and $180,388 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
The Company pays fees to third parties in connection with the acquisition of loans. These costs are amortized against interest income over the estimated average life of the loans under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method. Unamortized costs were $309,147 and $388,089 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
The Company incurs direct loan origination costs in its lending activities. These costs are capitalized and amortized against interest income over the estimated average life of the loans under a method which approximates the effective interest rate method. Unamortized direct loan origination costs were $33,677 and $44,796 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The fair value of the gross loans receivable is estimated to be $48,397,430 and $54,885,547 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These estimates are based on discounted cash flows using the year end average interest for loans, assuming a mid-year pay-off of such loan in the year due.
 
At December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding loan balances to one borrower and her affiliated entities in the aggregate amount of $9,979,364, which represented 20.75% of loans outstanding at that date. Approximately $401,000 of these loans is unsecured, $5,705,000 is secured by first or second mortgages on 10 apartment buildings in Baltimore, Maryland, a first mortgage on a residential property in Woodbine, Maryland, the shares of Company common stock and Company investment accounts owned by the borrowers, $224,862 is secured by shares of Company common stock, and $3,648,645 is secured by a second lien on commercial property in Langley Park, Maryland. Management believes that this concentration is adequately collateralized based on current appraisals.
 
The Company issues lines-of-credit or draw-type loans. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $6.30 million in loans of this type.

These notes were all issued at the rate in effect for the applicable term selected as of the date each note was issued.
 
 
·
There is a loan of $185,450, shown in the equity section of the Balance Sheet as a contra-equity, made to the Company’s CEO for the purchase of 100,000 shares of stock in the Company. The interest rate on this loan is 7%. The stock has a book value of about $49,000 and a fair value of approximately $200,000 as of December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, all payments under this loan had been timely made and the there was no accrued interest receivable on this loan.
 
All of the above transactions were consummated on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers.
 
Included in the notes receivable listed above are five loans in the aggregate amount of $9.75 million to a trust for the benefit of a significant stockholder. These loans were made during the year ended December 31, 2006. The proceeds of these loans were used to purchase real estate which serves as security for the loans. The Company holds a first or second lien position with respect to the collateral securing approximately $9.75 million of these loans as well as other real and personal collateral . The loans bear interest at 8% per annum and have some variable up-side features. Additional interest is earned on certain loans if the rental income the borrower receives from the property exceeds certain allowable expenses. In addition, upon the sale of certain the real property(ies) (or components thereof), the Company is to receive one quarter or one-half, depending on the specific property, of any gain after adjusting for certain costs and commissions. The loans do not have any variable down-side features which would cause interest to be lower than the stated rate on each loan. Under the terms of the loans any refinancing or sale of the properties must be approved by the Company in advance. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized $80,445 in additional interest from the above loan features. The Company recognizes such additional interest earned through variable up-side loan features only when the additional interest is collected.

The weighted fair value of options granted during December 31, 2006 was $0.61. No options were granted during 2007.

The fair value of options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The 150,000 options granted to employees in the year ended December 31, 2006 vest ratably each year over a three year period. Seventy thousand of these options were forfeited during 2007. The options vesting in 2007 and 2006 gave rise to a $18,878 and $16,000 charge to income in these years, respectively. The amount of approximately $21,136 in future compensation costs for options outstanding will need to be recognized as these options vest in future periods. The weighted average and other assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were during the year ended December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Dividend yield

NOTE N — LOAN CONCENTRATIONS 
 
The Company makes loans to a number of different business and individuals; however, it does have a concentration of loans, directly or indirectly, with two of its stockholders. At December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $9.75 million, or 21%, of its loans and interest receivable directly or indirectly with one stockholder an entity owned by that stockholder. The Company also purchases loans from a company owned by another stockholder. At December 31, 2006, approximately $11.80 million, or 21%, of the Company’s loans and interest receivable were loans of this type. During 2007, no loans were purchased from this source due to the inability of the Company to sell its investor notes and the resulting shortage of funds required to purchase loans. As is mentioned in Note H - Related Party Transactions, the above loans were consummated on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable transactions.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
None.
ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CEO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of December 31, 2007 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management has performed an evaluation and testing of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included in Item 7 of this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 8B. OTHER INFORMATION.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Our equity securities are not registered under the Exchange Act and, accordingly, our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders are not required to file equity ownership reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Board Committees

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, whose members are Messrs. Connor and Shapiro (Chairperson). Until January 16, 2008, Mr. Harris also served on the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the audit policy and program and recommending any policy changes to the Board of Directors, and the appointing, replacing, compensating, and overseeing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm each year. The Audit Committee meets with the external auditors, reviews all of our SEC filings, oversees our internal control structure and reports to the Board of Directors on the findings. During 2007, the Audit Committee met four times. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Connor and Shapiro is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B.

Since we are a privately-held company, we are not required to have either a Nominations or a Compensation Committee. As a privately-held company with a board consisting of a majority of independent directors, we currently believe that the Board as a whole can adequately fulfill the responsibilities of a Nominations and Compensation committees. Our independent directors review and approve executive compensation policies and practices, review the salaries and the bonuses of the officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and administer our stock option plan and other benefit plans.

ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Compensation

The following table sets forth the total remuneration for services in all capacities awarded to, earned by, or paid to our President and Chief Executive Officer, sometimes referred to in this prospectus as the “named executive officer” for each of the last two completed fiscal years. No other person who served as an executive officer during 2007 earned total compensation in excess of $100,000 for 2007 (or would have earned in excess of such amount had they been an executive officer as of December 31, 2007).

Mr. Harris also serves as a director of KH Funding for which he receives standard director compensation as discussed above. However, he did not accept any director compensation in 2007 or 2006.
(2)
On July 10, 2006, Mr. Harris was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock under our 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The options have an exercise price of $3.30 per share, which equaled the estimated fair market value of the shares on the grant date-$3.00- plus a 10% premium. The options vest in three equal annual installments commencing one year after the grant date and expire on July 10, 2011. The amount shown reflects the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 in accordance with FAS 123(R) of awards pursuant to the Plan. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note J to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 presented elsewhere in this report.

Employment Arrangements

Executive officers are employed on an at-will basis and are not parties to any written employment agreement. Our employment arrangements entitle the executive, while employed, to an annual salary and participation in the bonus, equity and other plans discussed above, as well as health, dental and life insurance programs in place for executives from time to time.

For 2008, Mr. Harris is entitled to an annual salary of $132,291.

Bonus Program

All of our employees, including Mr. Harris, are entitled to an annual bonus equal to one-half of one week’s pay, based on their salary levels for that year.

Equity Compensation Plans

We maintain two equity compensation plans for executive officers and employees: (i) the 1998 Stock and Incentive Plan; and (ii) the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.

The 1998 Stock and Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and its stockholders in 1998 and was replaced by the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and/or performance units to key employees designated by the Board or its designated committee. Awards vested, were exercisable and terminated in accordance with the individual terms of the award agreements granting such awards. Awards could be payable in shares of our common stock, cash, or other securities, as determined by the Board and set forth in the award agreement. Awards were subject to adjustment and acceleration of vesting under certain specified conditions.
 
The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and our stockholders in 2005 and expires on January 27, 2015. The plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our officers and employees, and non-qualified stock options, stock bonus grants and/or restricted stock purchase grants to directors, officers, employees and consultants. Awards vest, are exercisable and terminate in accordance with the individual terms of the award agreements granting such awards. Awards are payable in shares of our common stock. Awards are subject to adjustment and acceleration of vesting under certain specified conditions. At adoption, we reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for future issuances under this plan.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that each of our current directors, except for Robert L. Harris who serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is an “independent director” as that term is defined by Section 803A(2) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide. Additionally, both Messrs. Connor and Shapiro satisfy the audit committee independence requirements of Section 803B(2) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide.

ITEM 13. EXHIBITS
 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
 
As our independent registered public accounting firm for 2006 and 2007, Stegman & Company provided various audit and other services for which we were billed for fees as further described below. Except as described below, the Audit Committee specifically pre-approves all audit services and other services provided by Stegman & Company. In the case of tax services and other permissible non-audit services, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to its Chairman to approve services. Any approval of additional services by the Chairman is communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee also may authorize management to obtain tax services from Stegman & Company from time to time during the year up to a specified aggregate amount of fees. Any tax services obtained by management is communicated to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
 
The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by us for the audit and other services provided by Stegman & Company during fiscal years 2007 and 2006:

Audit Fees paid or incurred in fiscal years 2007 and 2006 include charges for the examination of our consolidated financial statements and quarterly reviews of financial statements. Tax Fees paid in fiscal years 2007 and 2006 include charges primarily related to tax return preparation. The Audit Committee has reviewed summaries of the services provided and the related fees and has determined that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Stegman & Company.

All of the 2007 and 2006 services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
