Fiscal First Quarter 2021 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Added $3.7 million in new single-family mortgages during the fiscal first quarter.
The Company's mortgage portfolio grew to $130.9 million from $123.3 million for the comparative period in 2020.
The serious delinquency rate as of the period ended January 31, 2021 was 1.4%, compared to 1.4% at the end of the same period in 2020. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) reported a single-family serious delinquency rate of 2.6% as of the period ended January 31, 2021. The serious delinquency rate is based on the number of mortgage loans that are three monthly payments or more past due or in the process of foreclosure.
Held 107 properties in inventory compared to 134 at the same time in 2020. As of January 31, 2021, gross inventory was $11.2 million compared to $13.1 million as of January 31, 2020. The Company is looking to build inventory to not only meet current demand but also to plan for renovated housing units to be ready for the spring 2021 sales season. The Company expects the upcoming spring demand for housing to be in line with historical periods compared to the COVID disrupted Spring in 2020.
Fiscal First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

Total property sales income was $4.0 million for the quarter compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in property sales income for the quarter was primarily due to lower unit sales related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company's office staff, resulting in a portion of sales being pushed to the fiscal second quarter.
Total interest income was $3.3 million, up from $3.2 million in the comparative 2020 period. The increase in interest income was the result of growth in the total mortgage note receivable portfolio during the period.
Operating income was $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2020.
Cash EPS (operating income less income to non-controlling interests) was $0.13 compared to $0.15 for the comparative period in 2020. The Company booked $112,000 of state and federal income tax expense, which will be offset against the Company's deferred tax asset. The adjusted cash EPS after adjusting for one-time transaction costs and stock option compensation of $108,000 was $0.15.
Book value as reported was $51.2 million, or $8.57 per share. Adjusted book value including $3.5 million of subordinated debt totaled $54.7 million, or $9.16 per share.
As of January 31, 2021, the Company held a cash balance of $1.4 million compared to $2.1 million as of October 31, 2020.
Management Commentary

"As we closed out 2020 and entered the new year, CPF continued to make measurable progress in expanding our mortgage portfolio while also taking advantage of exclusive opportunities to provide much needed relief to small businesses in the communities we serve," said Eric A. Donnelly, Chief Executive Officer of Crossroads Systems (CRDS). "Texas' rapidly growing housing market has opened up remarkable economic opportunities for our borrowers, many of whom work in these industries. As a result, we have witnessed a noticeable declining trend in the volume of forbearance requests. While COVID-19 vaccine rollout initiatives begin to ramp up, we have worked through temporary underwriting delays which have pushed some property sales into fiscal Q2 and have expanded next quarter's pipeline. Nevertheless, we remain optimistic in our ability to drive property sales and execute on our long-term operational goals.

"The latest government aid programs have also enabled CDFIs like us to extend much-needed support to local businesses. We were quick to take advantage of this opportunity at the onset of the calendar year. After an exceptionally active application period, we are proud to share that we have extended a total of $65.6MM in PPP loans to over 1,200 small businesses in need of capital, 95% of whom employ fewer than 20 people. While we continue to make meaningful progress towards consummating our pending acquisition of Rice Bancshares, we have also diversified our inventory composition by making key investments in new markets, including a pool of rental units in San Antonio and a development lot in McAllen. These new ventures provide yet another way for us to work alongside municipalities and local communities in creating affordable housing without sacrificing our bottom line."
