Management Commentary
"In the last several months, Capital Plus has transformed from a regional single-family mortgage-based lending institution into one of the country's largest providers of small business loans," said Eric A. Donnelly, Chief Executive Officer of Crossroads Systems. "When the SBA announced its reopening of the program in January, we immediately identified strong synergies between the program's focus on small businesses and Capital Plus' core mission as a CDFI. Together with our loan service providers, we established early incumbency as the go-to institution for small business owners, independent contractors, and sole proprietors. Financially, our success in the program has put us into the best position we have ever been in, netting us more than $150 million in operating income for the quarter. At a record cash position, we are well-capitalized to support the future growth initiatives that will drive our double-bottom line.  We will provide a more detailed review of the quarter and these growth initiatives in the near future upon the completion of PPP.
