This
is DenSco's two-year anniversary! It doesn't seem that it's been
that long! It's gone quickly and I'm enjoying the business and
continue to learn every day. I thank you for your support and
trust, and I will continue to grow the business and meet your
financial investment goals.
Q2 of 2003
has been extremely busy. The quick resolution in Iraq has removed
a black cloud over the economy and mood of the country. The stock
market is showing signs of life, interest rates are the lowest
they've been since anyone kept track and the economy is undoubtedly
going to recover in the 2nd half of the year. We funded 30 new
loans in Q2, and have had 25 close. There are 13 loans that are
currently in escrow.
We had an
additional 150k of investor's money added during the quarter.
We have $3.3 million in the portfolio; there are currently 40
loans that have a value of $5.3 million. Our average loan life
has fallen to 109 days, as we've had a lot of loans turn over
very quickly in the last quarter. I would expect that it would
rise back up to 115 days or so by the end of the year.
The new memorandum
is complete. I hope you have had a chance to read through it.
I spent more time than I care to remember with the lawyers going
page by page through it. Despite all the "legal speak",
it does cover in detail the last two years. I am going to spend
a considerable amount of time trying to raise more money with
this in hand. I would hope that if you have any friends that
might be interested, you share their name with me.
In past newsletters
and in the memorandum, I have referred to Rick Rickert and his
company Maricopa Investors Alliance. He has been a key referral
for a large percentage of our loans. His business has grown,
and he needed some help. Ranasha, my wife, is now his office
manager. She's been working there now three months. To help her,
I have a good friend's daughter, Bri, working there now too.
It's better to keep it in the family!
It's been
a great two years. DenSco has worked out just as I had
planned. I'm hoping you are as satisfied with your investment
as I am with the company. I will continue to strive to deliver
on the expectations that I've set for myself and to continue
to meet your expectations as investors.
