| the
Concept: |
There is a growing segment of the
automobile buyer's marketplace that cannot access traditional
credit lending sources for a variety of reasons including spotty
credit history, individuals who have yet to establish credit,
immigrants and former bankrupts. Nelson Financial Group Ltd. has
recognized this marketplace opportunity and extends automobile
lease credit to these higher credit risk individuals under
specific terms and conditions.
We lease only late model vehicles
sourced through our accredited branded dealership network.
Individual clients must apply for the credit through the
dealership given dealer participation in our credit granting
program.
Our management model recognizes
the nature of the credit risk and mitigates the risk via
pro-active measures and prudent management practices.
|
| Interest
Rates and Returns: |
We extend credit at an all in rate
of 24.9% to every leasing client. The investor is offered a 12%
rate of return per annum with the remaining 12.9% utilized by
Nelson Financial for portfolio management, administration and
profit.
The term offered to the investor
is matched to the length of the leases, typically 5 years.
|
| Investment
Opportunity: |
A 5 year fixed term investment
yielding 12% per annum. Monthly payments can be fully
amortized over the term (blended P&I), interest only or
interest can be compounded through to maturity. The investment is
secured by an assignment of lease contracts via a chattel mortgage
with the investor enjoying 1st priority position on both the hard
vehicle assets and the lease contract cash flows.
Minimum $25,000.

| Risk/Asset
Management Model: |
Nelson Financial Group Ltd.
clearly recognizes the nature of the sub prime leasing clientele
and the associated portfolio management challenges. Given the
higher perceived risk and generally prudent portfolio management
practices, Nelson Financial has implemented a pro-active, no
nonsense risk reducing strategy which has proven to be both
efficient and highly effective. It is outlined as follows:
A GPS locator module is installed
in every vehicle. Via the internet and satellite technology, we
are able to track and locate our cars anywhere in North America.
We know where all of our security is at all times (and usually our
clients as well).
A starter interrupter switch is
also installed in every vehicle we own. We are able to turn the
car on/off so as to prevent use if payments are not made or
repossession is required. This is an extremely effective tool to
preserve values and encourage timely debt service payments.
We accept payments via Western
Union. Clients can forward payments to us from anywhere in North
America.
Every Nelson vehicle is covered
under our CAA membership, offering emergency roadside assistance
to all of our lease clients. In addition, all lease clients are
entitled to free regularly scheduled oil changes from the selling
dealership.
Our dealerships participate with
Nelson Financial and adhere to a "20% holdback" rule.
Nelson advances 80% of the purchase price at sale closing and
holds the additional 20% in reserve. This reserve pool of funds is
utilized to offset lease default and only paid to the dealer upon
specific performance of the lease contracts.
Our dealers enter into specific
repurchase agreements for vehicles they sell. If lease default
occurs, the dealer, at Nelson's discretion, is required to
repurchase the vehicle for the outstanding principal balance
remaining. This further insulates Nelson from loss under default
conditions.
The lease contracts are structured
as "rent-to-own" with a back end payment or residual of
$1.00 assuming all payment obligations are met. This encourages
clients to take pride of ownership, service their debt in a timely
fashion and properly maintain the vehicles.
Our customer service specialists
are experienced, sophisticated and well trained. Utilizing the
latest technologies they effectively manage the individual lease
portfolio treating every client with professionalism, courtesy and
respect.
Our asset management model is a
practical, sensible and workable approach to protecting our
security interests, maintains and enhances the quality of cash
flow payment streams, encourages our clients to act reasonably and
responsibly and improves the quality of the aggregate lease
portfolio. It continues to be a winning strategy and time tested
proven asset management formula for ongoing success.
|
| Summary: |
For the investor, our management
practices, procedures and techniques offer a measurable reduction
in overall portfolio risk (mitigating risk), a clear demonstration
of our professional capabilities, confirmation of our commitment
to ongoing success and an attractive safe high yield income
generating investment.
