 Typically, home sales peak in the second and third quarters,
but in 2022 and 2023, rising interest rates and ongoing housing supply constraints disrupted these seasonal trends. Despite steady consumer
demand for credit, high interest rates and economic uncertainty may cause borrowers to delay financing decisions, leading to fluctuations
in Beeline’s revenue and financial performance.

housing supply has constrained home purchase activity. Rising interest rates have further exacerbated this issue by increasing home prices,
reducing affordability, and discouraging transactions. However, Beeline believes that persistent imbalances between supply and demand
will ultimately drive greater home construction, expanding housing inventory and stimulating future mortgage activity.

Beeline
Financial’s ability to attract and retain customers depends on delivering a seamless and competitive digital mortgage experience.
The shift toward digital transactions, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has increased consumer willingness to engage in high-value
online purchases, including mortgage applications. Beeline Financial’s platform is designed to provide a convenient and efficient
digital experience, positioning it favorably against traditional mortgage origination methods. With Millennial and Generation Z homeownership
rates on the rise, Beeline Financial anticipates continued growth in demand for digital mortgage solutions.

Technological
innovation remains central to Beeline Financial’s strategy. Beeline Financial’s proprietary technology enhances efficiency,
reduces costs, and improves loan processing quality. By automating key origination tasks, Beeline Financial streamlines interactions
for consumers, employees, and partners. Its intuitive digital interface minimizes reliance on paper applications and manual processes,
enabling faster and more efficient loan transactions. Continued investment in automation and technology development will further reduce
production costs and enhance customer acquisition efforts.

Customer
acquisition is another critical component of Beeline Financial’s success. Beeline Financial aims to expand its reach while providing
a highly personalized digital experience. If traditional customer acquisition methods prove insufficient, especially in challenging market
conditions, Beeline Financial may need to invest additional resources in sales and marketing to maintain growth. Increased marketing
expenditures could elevate service costs, making it essential to balance customer acquisition efforts with cost efficiency.

In
the ordinary course of Beeline Financial’s operations, it finances the majority of its loan volume on a short-term basis, typically
less than 10 days, mainly utilizing a warehouse line of credit with a capacity of $5.0 million. The repayments of Beeline Financial’s
borrowings come from the revenue generated by selling its loans to a network of purchasers.
