- The increase was primarily attributable to $3,000,000 of restricted cash received and $160,000 in Other Assets, partially offset by an $88,043 reduction in cash. The cash that is identified as "restricted" is more defined as capital designated for M&A expansion for OCFN's lending operations and financial services.

- OCFN reported total stockholders' equity of $559,993 on September 30, 2013 compared to the deficit of stockholders' equity of $2,255,663 on December 31, 2012, a reduction in the deficit of $2,815,656
- OCFN reported a Common stock and Preferred stock offering of $40,643,208 completed and fully funded as of October 4, 2013 as a "Subsequent Event" that has been received into their restricted cash account.
- This $40,643,208 can be identified on the Balance Sheet and is classified as a "Preferred Receivable" that consisted of 900 Series A Preferred shares sold at $42,344 per share with Common Stock Warrants with an average price per share of $1.42.
- OCFN also reported on their 'Cash Flow from Operations' statement in the 'Other Non-Cash Financing Activities' an ending balance increase to $2,911,958
To summarize, OCFN reached a record high of $43,643,208 of investment capital, which is a key fundamental driver for any small cap growth company. Jon S. Cummings IV, states "I am ecstatic about this past quarter and glad to have negotiated $43-million in cash investments. More importantly, we thank all our colleagues who have supported us through this process and who believe and trust in our business model and growth initiatives. It's my job to prudently ensure that we continue this momentum forward."
A Recent Accomplishment
OCFN core lending subsidiary Omega Capital Street LLC signed a Sublease to expand its CMBS-style and bridge-lending operations in a 6,200sq./ft. office space by staffing proven CRE finance advisor's, originators, and a credit team . The move-in date is on January 1, 2014 at the 701 Bank of America Class A Office building on the prestigious Brickell Avenue located in the heart of Miami Florida's financial district said to be known as the "Wall Street of the South".
Forward Projections
OCFN's management harvests three (3) private investors that purchased $3-million of DPO shares and are part of the group of nine (9) long-term investors in the $40,643,208 Unit Stock Offering. These early-stage private equity investors targeted OCFN because they have a sound management team in place and are showing early signs of traction with their commercial real estate small-balance lending product. These investors based on their $40-million investment into OCFN, project and want management to advantageously yet prudently leverage their balance sheet to raise $5-million per month for the origination of commercial real estate property loans through its lending company, Omega Capital Street. Thus, management believes they can forecast or estimate loan originations growing by 120% or $6-million per month thereafter over a 36-month period starting in 2014.
