Business Development.
---------------------

          For a discussion of the business development of Birch Financial,
Inc. ("Birch Financial," the "Company," "we," "our," "us" and words of similar
import) through the end of the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, see our
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the calendar year then ended, which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2004, and which is
incorporated herein by reference.  See Part III, Item 13 of this Annual
Report.

         On October 6, 2004, we resolved to strike Section 2.11, Written
Consent to Action by Shareholders, from our Bylaws; actions by stockholders
without a meeting are already covered by Article VI of our Articles of
Incorporation.  We filed an 8-K Current Report dated October 6, 2004, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission regarding this change on October 6, 2004.
See Part III, Item 13 of this Annual Report.

          On November 8, 2004, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to
increase our authorized capital from $630,000, consisting of 63,000,000 shares
of common stock having a par value of one cent ($0.01) per share, to
$2,100,000, divided into 200,000,000 shares of one cent ($0.01) par value
common stock and 10,000,000 shares of one cent par value preferred stock, and
with the preferred stock to have such rights and preferences as the Board of
Directors shall determine.  We filed an 8-K Current Report dated Movember 8,
2004, regarding this change in authorized capital with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 12, 2004.  See Part III, Item 13 of this
Annual Report.

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets.
-------------------------------------------------

     Insurance Premium Financing.
     ----------------------------

          Neither we nor our wholly-owned subsidiary, Birch Financial, Inc., a
Missouri corporation ("Birch Missouri") has significant assets or operations.
Substantially all of our assets and operations are those of Birch Financial,
Inc., a California corporation ("Birch California"), which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Birch Missouri.  Through Birch California, we are engaged in the
business of insurance premium finance for landscapers, nurseries, golf courses
and other members of the "green industry."

          We offer insurance premium financing services for three insurance
agents:  Landscape Contractor Insurance, Inc. ("LCIS"); Oak Creek Insurance,
which is a "dba" of LCIS; and Ackerman Insurance.  LCIS is wholly-owned by
Golden Oak Cooperative Corporation ("Golden Oak"), which also owns
approximately 34% of our outstanding shares.  LCIS constitutes over 90% of our
insurance premium financing revenue.

          As of December 31, 2004, our premium financing receivables totaled
$9,137,080, net of reserves for a doubtful accounts of $6,055, as compared to
total receivables of $8,488,121, and reserves for a doubtful account of
$11,681, at December 31, 2003.

          Our loans are relatively short term, generally with maturities of
approximately nine months.  Down payments on our loans are generally 20
percent.  Interest rates are tied to the prime lending rate and vary based on
the size of the loan.  We also give a preferential interest rate to members of
the green industry.  If a borrower becomes 20 days late on a loan, we send a
notice advising the borrower that coverage may be terminated.  Total insurance
policy cancellations are approximately $170,000 per year.

          Our insurance premium financing loans are secured by the unearned
premiums on the insured's insurance policies.  Financed commercial insurance
policies typically require that the insured pay the full premium at or near
the beginning of the policy period.  The insurance company generally earns the
full premium over the course of the policy period.  If the insured cancels the
policy before the end of the policy period, the insured is usually entitled to
a repayment of the unearned portion of the policy payment as of the date of
the cancellation.

          Depending on the type of insurance coverage, and the terms of the
policy in question, the amount of unearned premium available upon cancellation
of a policy will vary.  Relevant factors include:

          *    the applicable method for measuring unearned premium; for
               example, whether it is prorated over the policy period or
               whether more premium is earned at the beginning of the period;

          *    the amount of the policy period that has lapsed at the time of
               cancellation; and

          *    the loss experience under the policy before the cancellation;
               and variations in the scope of the risks covered after the
               beginning of the policy period.

          In certain cases, the insurance company may earn all or part of the
premium at the inception of the policy.  In either case, less of the unearned
premium would be available for return.

          Because of the relatively short duration of insurance premium
financing loans, most loans are not prepaid.  However, the loan terms and
regulations do not prohibit prepayments or provide for penalties if a borrower
prepays its loan.

     Equipment Financing.
     --------------------

          During the quarterly period ended June 30, 2000, we began offering
equipment financing services to members of the green industry under the name
"Birch Financial Equipment Financing."  As of December 31, 2004, we had
equipment financing receivables of $1,101,811, compared to $882,719 as
of December 31, 2003.

          Our equipment financing operations focus on equipment, including
truck and trailer equipment, lawnmowers, tractors and other construction
equipment.  We may also finance office equipment machines, including copying,
data processing, communication, printing and manufacturing equipment.  Our
contracts will be made exclusively with business users.  Initial terms for
truck and trailer equipment typically will range from 24 months to 60 months.
We had 69 outstanding contracts, with total outstanding balances of $1,101,811
at December 31, 2004.

          We maintain written credit policies that we believe are prudent and
customary within the equipment finance industry.  These policies form the
basis for our standardized forms and approval processes.  On occasion, we will
make exceptions to our written credit policy for borrowers with whom we have
had past positive experience. In general, our credit policies encourage the
financing of income-generating equipment.  Within these guidelines, there are
few specific equipment or industry prohibitions.

          Under our current underwriting guidelines, each loan is originated
after a review of the following criteria:

          *    the applicant's ability to repay the loan;

          *    the adequacy of the cash flow from the borrower's operations;
               and

          *    the real and tangible personal property that serve as
               collateral for the loan.

          All equipment is insured, with us named as a beneficiary.

          We have created an underwriting model, which incorporates historical
operating results of the borrower and compares them to industry statistics.
The model helps outline the loan proposal to fit the approval guidelines.
Loan officers input data provided by potential borrowers into the underwriting
model, and determine whether or not a loan would qualify under our
underwriting guidelines before submission to the credit group.  This
pre-screening process allows for documentation once a loan is accepted for
underwriting.  Our loan originations, or issuances, will typically range in
size from $1,000 to $75,000 for each truck, equipment and trailer loan.  We
anticipate that most borrowers will be multiple unit operators.

          We anticipate that we will act as a senior secured asset-based
lender.  This means that our claims on the financed equipment will have
priority over the claims of other creditors.  Our initial lending activities
will be in the southwestern United States.  Our office is located in Granada
Hills, California.  We will provide asset-based lending to small to
medium-sized businesses with annual revenues ranging from approximately
$50,000 to $5 million.

          Our loans will be categorized based on the type of collateral
securing the loan.  We will make revolving loans primarily secured by accounts
receivable and secondarily by inventory.  We also will make term loans secured
by real property, equipment or other fixed assets.  We also may periodically
enter into participations with other commercial finance companies.
Participations are loans that are made by more than one lender and serviced by
one of the participants.  Our loans typically will have maturities of six
months to five years.  We believe that this will provide borrowers with
greater flexibility to manage their borrowing needs.  These loans have an
automatic renewal for a one-year period at the end of the contract term unless
terminated by either party.  Termination usually requires 60 days' written
notice before the end of the term. Equipment loans are term loans typically
with two to five-year amortization periods, but are due and payable upon
termination of the master loan and security agreement.  An amortization period
is the period of time over which the debt is paid.  We are currently issuing
adjustable loans for preferred customers.

          Before a credit line proposal letter is issued and a line of
credit is established, our policy requires a review of the prospective
client, its principals, business and customer base, including a review of
financial statements and other financial records, legal documentation,
samples of invoices and related documentation, operational matters, and
accounts receivable and payable.  In addition, we confirm certain matters
relating to the prospective client's business and the collectability of the
client's commercial receivables and other potential collateral by conducting
public record searches for liens, conducting credit reviews of the prospective
client and its principals, contracting major customers and suppliers to
identify potential problems, and conducting an on-site audit of the
prospective client's invoice, bookkeeping and collection procedures to verify
that they are properly conducted and operationally compatible with our
operations.

          After the preliminary review and due diligence, we will:

          *    require the prospective borrower to provide a deposit for fees;

          *    order appraisals if lending against inventory, equipment or
               real estate; and

          *    schedule an audit.

          Our internal auditing staff conducts an audit generally consisting
of a due diligence review of the prospective borrower's accounting and
financial records, including a statistical review of accounts receivable and
charge-off history.  Our internal auditors then submit their audit reports and
work papers to our credit committee for review before we extend credit.  In
making a decision to approve a credit line, we establish credit limits under
the revolving credit line and analyzes the prospective client's customer base
to ensure compliance with our policies generally limiting our overall exposure
to account debtors, especially with respect to privately held or
non-investment grade borrowers.  When deemed necessary for credit approval, we
may obtain guarantees or other types of security from a client or his/her/its
affiliates and may also obtain subordination and intercreditor agreements from
the borrower's other lenders.  Under a subordination agreement, one creditor
will agree to make its claims to an asset junior to those of another creditor.
Although our underwriting guidelines and policies provide that, prior to each
loan funding, the account executive assigned to the borrower:

          *    obtain the original of a copy of the invoice to be sent to
               the borrower and the purchase order, if we require one, related
               to the invoice;

          *    confirm the validity and accuracy of a representative
               sampling of invoices; and

          *    mail a letter, on the borrower's letterhead, to the new
               borrower's customer which introduces Birch Financial and
               requests the payment be made directly to us.

          An assigned Birch Financial account executive will monitor each
borrower's credit, collateral and advances.  Account executives will be
required to meet with each of their assigned borrowers at least quarterly to
monitor the borrower's business, physically inspect the borrower's facilities
and equipment, and discuss any potential problem the borrower may be
experiencing.  We will monitor borrowers' accounts receivable using three
forms.  The first form is an accounts receivable aging analysis report, which
is a report that examines the age of unpaid charges.  These reports are
prepared monthly by the loan processor and reviewed by the account executive,
and which includes, among other things, details about account concentrations
and aging trends.  The second is an accounts receivable activity summary
prepared monthly by the loan processor and reviewed by the account executive,
summarizing borrowings, repayments and pledged collateral.  The third is a
daily report prepared by the borrower and reviewed by the account executive to
determine credit availability for a particular day.  In addition to the
foregoing monitoring procedures, interim audits of all borrowers will
be scheduled as deemed appropriate.  Also, each account will be reviewed on
its anniversary date and revolving lines will be reviewed and reconciled on a
monthly basis.  Where liquidation is required for repayment of an outstanding
loan, we will try to obtain consensual possession of the subject collateral
property and joint collections of accounts receivable.  In certain cases,
court action may be required to ensure collections of receivables and
possession of pledged assets.

          We expect to have an ongoing need to finance our lending activities.
We expect this need to increase as the volume of loan originations increases.
Our primary operating cash requirements will include the funding of:

          *    loans pending their sale;

          *    fees and expenses incurred in connection with our
               securitization program;

          *    over-collateralization or reserve account requirements in
               connection with loans pooled and sold;

          *    interest, fees, and expenses associated with our warehouse
               credit and repurchase facilities with certain financial
               institutions;

          *    federal and state income tax payments; and

          *    ongoing administrative and other operating expenses.

          We currently fund these cash requirements primarily by credit
facilities from commercial entities and financial institutions, and anticipate
that we will rely more heavily on securitizations, whole loan sales, and
borrowings as our cash requirements increase.  Securitizations occur when
loans are packaged into bond-like securities for resale to other investors.

          We will depend on our ability to access commercial loans, repurchase
facilities and warehouse lines of credit in order to fund new originations and
purchases. Historically, affiliates of Birch Financial have had various
commercial loans, warehouse lines and reverse repurchase facilities available
to finance truck equipment acquisitions.

          In the future, we may enter into warehouse lines of credit with
commercial finance institutions.  We expect these warehouse lines of credit
to provide additional financing for our continued growth in loan originations.
We also intend to negotiate with a major financial institution to provide
additional financing for our continued growth in loan originations.

          As a fundamental part of its business and financing strategy, Birch
Financial intends to sell substantially all of its loans through
securitization, except for loans held for investments.  We believe that
securitizations provide us with greater operating leverage and a reduced cost
of funds.

          Each loan securitization may have specific credit enhancement
requirements in the form of over-collateralization, which must be met before
we receive cash flows due.  As the securitized assets generate cash flows,
they may be used to pay down the balance of the pass-through certificates
until the ratio of securitized assets to pass-through certificates reaches the
over-collateralization requirement specified in each securitization.
Pass-through certificates are securities that pass income from the debtor,
through intermediaries, to investors.  The over-collateralization amount is
carried on the balance sheet as retained interest in loan securitizations.
After the over-collateralization requirement and the other requirements
specified in the pooling and servicing agreement have been met, we begin to
receive principal and interest on any subordinate bonds of residual interests
retained.  We anticipate that a substantial portion of our gross income will
be recognized as gain on sales of loans, which represent the present value of
the estimated cash flows on the subordinate bonds or residual interests
retained, less origination and underwriting costs. Interest-only and residual
certificates in securitizations of mortgage loans that we retain may be held
as trading securities and adjusted to their respective market value quarterly
with corresponding charges and credits made to income in the adjustment
period.

          Depending on market conditions, we also intend to execute whole loan
sales in which we dispose of our entire economic interest in the loans on a
non-recourse basis, or without personal liability to the borrower, excluding
servicing rights, for cash.  Servicing rights are the rights to bill, collect
payment and administer loans.  Whole loan sale gains and losses will be
recognized at the time of sale and there are generally no residuals.  We seek
to maximize our premium on whole loan sale revenues by closely monitoring
institutional purchasers' requirements and focusing on originating or
purchasing the types of loans that meet those requirements and for which
institutional purchasers tend to pay higher premiums.  Whole loan sales will
be made on a non-recourse basis pursuant to a purchase agreement containing
customary representations and warranties by Birch Financial regarding the
underwriting criteria applied by us and the origination process.  We may be
required to repurchase or substitute loans in the event of a breach of our
representations and warranties.  In addition, we may commit to repurchase or
substitute a loan if a payment default occurs within the first month following
the date the loan is funded, unless other arrangements are made between us and
the purchaser.  We may be required either to repurchase or to replace loans
which do not conform to our representations and warranties in the pooling and
servicing agreements entered into when the loans are pooled and sold through
securitizations.

          Our Servicing Department is responsible for loan accounting,
compliance monitoring and, and if necessary, collections.  Our servicing
operations are located in Granada Hills, California.

          The loan servicing function includes monthly invoicing, payment
collections, computing investor payments and processing investor remittances.
The primary method for borrower payments is through automatic electronic
payments.

          Compliance monitoring procedures include a semi-annual review of
each borrower's compliance with stated covenants, including fixed charge
coverage ratios.  If a borrower fails to comply with these covenants, the
borrower will be placed in our credit watch list.  Loans on the credit watch
list are subject to increased scrutiny and monitoring by our servicing
personnel. If a payment has not been received by the due date the loan is
considered in default, and we will aggressively pursue collection procedures,
including collection calls and onsite visits.  We will file the appropriate
lien documentation with the state so that we can repossess the equipment if
necessary.

          During the first month of a delinquency lasting 10 days or more, we
will contact the borrower to determine the reason for the default and the
likelihood and timing of any payment.  We will perform a credit investigation
and obtain updated financial statements from the borrower and current Dun &
Bradstreet and personal credit reports.  Most of our borrowers are also
borrowers in the premium finance division, which gives us a record of payment
for the past two years.  The borrower's bank and major trade creditors
typically will be contacted to provide first-hand verification of the
financial status of the borrower.  We also may retain counsel in the state in
which the borrower is located, if we determine that the borrower or a related
entity is in bankruptcy or there is a reason to believe voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy will be declared.

          Within 15 to 45 days of the delinquency, an officer of Birch
Financial will meet in person with the delinquent borrower, the nature of the
borrower's financial difficulty will be re-examined and the likelihood of
repayment will be re-evaluated.  We will physically inspect the borrower's
business unit, and industry consultants or other borrowers may be contacted
to evaluate the delinquent business unit.

          After 60 days of delinquency, the loan likely will be accelerated,
meaning that the entire debt becomes due.  The borrower will receive a written
notice demanding payment of this amount. The borrower may also be reminded
that any other loans that the borrower may have from other sources are likely
to be in the default. If it appears unlikely that the borrower will cure the
default, we may decide to negotiate with the borrower to induce the borrower
to offer the business unit for sale to other borrowers.  In this manner the
loans could be assumed.

          Our profits will depend, in part, on the difference, or "spread,"
between the effective rate of interest that we receive on the loans we
originate or purchase and the interest rates payable by us under our warehouse
financing facilities or for securities issued in our securitizations. The
spread can be adversely affected because of interest rate increases during the
period from the date the loans are originated or purchased until the closing
of the sale or securitization of the loans.

          From time to time, we may use various hedging strategies to provide
a level of protection against interest rate risks on our fixed-rate loans.
These strategies may include forward sales of loans or loan-backed
securities, interest rate caps and floors, and buying and selling of futures
and options on futures.  Management will determine the nature and quantity of
hedging transactions based on various factors, including market conditions and
the expected volume of loan originations and purchases.  While we believe that
our hedging strategies will be cost-effective and will provide some protection
against interest rate risks, no hedging strategy can completely protect us
from these risks.  We do not believe that hedging against interest rate risks
associated with adjustable-rate loans likely will be cost-effective, and
accordingly, likely will not utilize the hedging strategies described above
with respect to our adjustable-rate loans.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services.
-------------------------------------------------

     Insurance Premium Financing.
     ----------------------------

          Most of our loans are generated through LCIS, which offers insurance
premium financing loans to allow its commercial customers to purchase the full
amount of insurance coverage that they need, while spreading out the payments
over a period of several months.  LCIS maintains offices in the Bay Area of
California, as well as in Fresno, Granada Hills, Sacramento, and Orange
County, California, and Reno, Nevada.  LCIS has eight agents.

          Our loans are typically originated when one of LCIS' or Ackerman's
insured parties signs a premium finance agreement for a policy.  The premium
finance agreement contains a limited power of attorney that gives us the power
to cancel coverage in the event of default, and a collateral assignment to us
of any unearned insurance premium remaining after cancellation.

          When an insured signs a premium finance agreement, it is sent to
Automated Installment Systems ("AIS").  AIS then prepares a check for the
financed premium amount and sends it to us for signature.  The checks are
drawn on our account with First Bank, which is funded through our $10 million
line of credit with First Bank.  We have a $10 million promissory note with
First Bank.  Depending on the nature of the advance from First Bank, we pay
interest at the prime rate plus .5%, provided that the interest rate shall
never be less than 5.5%.  The advances are secured by our interests in our
premium finance agreements with our borrowers and our rights to unearned
premiums under those agreements.

         AIS bills our borrowers monthly.  It sends out each bill 20 days
before payment is due.  Each borrower sends its payment to AIS, which deposits
the payment in our bank account.  All funds due to Safeco are then credited to
its account on a weekly basis.

         We pay AIS $125 each for the first 35 premium finance agreements
processed in any month and $75 for each premium finance agreement processed
after the first 35 in any month, or 3% of any contract below $2,500.  The
yearly average does not exceed $75 per contract.

        Golden Oak performs all of our administrative functions that are not
performed by AIS.  These include the preparation of our correspondence and the
billings for our equipment financing operations, as well as miscellaneous
secretarial functions.  In exchange for these services, we pay Efco $48,000,
plus expenses, per year.

     Equipment Financing.
     --------------------

          We market our equipment financing products through our own in-house
sales force.  Our two-person in-house sales force solicits end user customers
and vendors to market equipment finance transactions.  In the future, we
intend to expand our marketing efforts to include more vendors.

          Our broker advisory panel will consist of a group of productive
brokers who are brought together on an annual basis, so that they may have an
open interchange of ideas and information about us and the financing
marketplace.  We believe that the advisory panel will serve a multi-purpose
function by allowing us to reward those brokers that provide us a profitable
base of business, and also provide us with an opportunity to market new ideas
and concepts to those brokers before a general release in the finance
community.  We believe that we will benefit by obtaining information on how
the brokers work with our competitors, such as special programs and market
trends, and this information can then be used to drive future marketing plans.

          We anticipate that we will obtain business through referrals
from banks, venture capitalists, accounting firms, management consultants,
existing borrowers, other finance companies and independent brokers and
insurance agencies.  Our marketing officers will call on our referral
sources to identify and receive introductions to potential clients and to
identify potential clients from database searches.  We expect to compensate
our marketing personnel with what we believe are competitive base salaries and
commissions based on funded transactions in order to motivate and reward the
creation of new business and the renewal of existing business. Such
commissions can be a significant portion of our total compensation paid to our
marketing personnel.  Our marketing personnel have no credit decision
authority.  We believe that our marketing strengths are our rapid response
time and high level of service.

Status of Any Publicly Announced New Product or Services.
---------------------------------------------------------

          None, not applicable.

Competitive Business Conditions.
--------------------------------

     Insurance Premium Financing.
     ----------------------------

          Our industry is very competitive.  Competitors include national
commercial premium finance companies, companies affiliated with insurance
carriers, independent insurance brokers that offer premium finance services,
banks and other lending institutions.

          Approximately 80% of our insurance premium financing activities take
place in California.  As of December 31, 2001, the most recent date for which
figures are available, the California Department of Financial Institutions had
a record of 68 insurance premium finance companies doing business in that
state.  Based on the number of outstanding loans, we ranked 11th.  Based on
total assets, we were the 15th largest insurance premium financing company in
California on that date. Currently, we are 13th.

          We believe that we will be able to continue operating in our
industry.  However, we can not assure you that we will be able to maintain our
current competitive position.

     Equipment Financing.
     --------------------

          The equipment financing industry is very competitive.  Banks and
commercial finance companies dominate the industry.  As of December 31, 2004,
we had 69 outstanding equipment loans.  Many financing companies left
the market in 2000, due to high competition from banks and home equity loans.
However, we do not expect our competitive position to be significant.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials.
------------------------------------------

          None; not applicable.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers.
-------------------------------------------

          We provide insurance premium financing loans for the insured parites
of only two agents, LCIS and Ackerman.

          We focus our equipment lending efforts on members of the green
industry.  Although there are thousands of green industry members in our area
of operations, our emphasis on that industry will limit the number of
potential borrowers.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or
Labor Contracts, Including Duration.
------------------------------------

          None, not applicable.

Need for Any Government Approval of Principal Products or Services.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

          None, not applicable.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

     General.
     --------

          The making, enforcement and collection of insurance premium
financing loans is regulated under state law.  These laws vary by state, but
they generally do the following:

          *    require that insurance premium financing lenders be licensed by
               the state;

          *    restrict the content of premium finance loan agreements and
               impose certain disclosure requirements on the agreements;

          *    limit the amount of finance charges that the lender can impose;

          *    regulate the amount of refunds due to a borrower who prepays
               the premium finance loan prior to maturity;

          *    regulate the amount of late fees, if any, and finance charges
               that a lender may charge when a loan becomes overdue;

          *    regulate the manner of canceling an insurance policy upon non-
               payment of the loan, including a requirement that the lender
               notify the borrower before cancellation; and

          *    allow imposition of penalties, which may be significant, on
               premium finance lenders for violations of the state's premium
               finance laws.

          Federal and state laws also prohibit us from using discriminatory
lending practices and unfair credit practices.  We are licensed as an
insurance premium financing lender in California and Missouri and as an
equipment lender in California.  We believe that we are in compliance with all
applicable laws governing insurance premium financing lenders.  However,
regulations change frequently, and we can not assure you that future
regulations will not hurt our business, either by increasing our compliance
costs or by restricting our operations.

     Reporting Requirements.
     -----------------------

     As an issuer whose securities are registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), we are required to file
periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In addition,
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), requires
that all issuers maintaining quotations of their securities on the OTC
Bulletin Board file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, so if we apply
for a trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board, the NASD will also require
that we remain current in our reporting obligations.

     The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission at its Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth
Street N.W., Washington, DC  20549.  The public may obtain information on the
operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange
Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 or 1- 202-942-8090.  The Securities and Exchange
Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and
information statements and other information regarding issuers that file
electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The address of
that site is http://www.sec.gov.

     Small Business Issuer.
     ----------------------

     The Securities and Exchange Commission's integrated disclosure system for
small business issuers, which was adopted in Release No. 34-30968 and became
effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and
financial requirements of a "Small Business Issuer," defined to be an issuer
that has revenues of less than $25,000,000; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer; is
not an investment company; and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is
also a small business issuer; provided, however, an entity is not a small
business issuer if it has a public float (the aggregate market value of the
issuer's outstanding securities held by non-affiliates) of $25,000,000 or
more.  Bikini is deemed to be a "small business issuer."

     Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
     -------------------

     On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act imposes a wide variety of new regulatory
requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders.  Many of these
requirements will affect us.  For example:

     *     Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer must
           now certify the accuracy of all of our periodic reports that
           contain financial statements;

     *     Our periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the
           effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures; and

     *     We may not make any loan to any director or executive officer
           and we may not materially modify any existing loans.

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our current procedures
and policies to determine whether they comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and
the new regulations promulgated thereunder.  We will continue to monitor our
compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act and will take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that we are
in compliance.

Research and Development.
-------------------------

          We do not expect that research and development will be a significant
part of our operations.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws.
--------------------------------------------------------

          Management does not believe that compliance with environmental
laws will require a significant portion of its resources.

Number of Employees.
--------------------

            Other than our officers, we do not have any employees.

Item 2.  Description of Property.
         ------------------------

         We share office space with Golden Oak Cooperative Corporation at
17029 Chatsworth Street, Suite #100, Granada Hills, CA 91344.  We have our own
telephone number and fax number, but share copier and other business equipment
with Golden Oak.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.
         ------------------

          Birch Financial is not a party to any pending legal proceeding.
To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency
is presently contemplating any proceeding against Birch Financial.  None of
our directors, executive officers or affiliates or owners of record or
beneficially of more than five percent of our common stock is a party adverse
to us or has a material interest adverse to us in any proceeding.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
         ----------------------------------------------------

          No matter was submitted to a vote of our security holders during the
fourth quarter of the calendar year covered by this Report.  However, we did
file a Definitive Information Statement regarding the change in our authorized
capital into two classes.  See the Definitive Information Statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2004.  See Part III,
Item 13 of this Annual Report.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
         ----------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations.
----------------------

          Calendar year ended December 31, 2004.
          --------------------------------------

          In the calendar year ended December 31, 2004, we received total
financing income of $1,350,181, of which $1,244,738 came from our insurance
premium financing contracts; $105,443 came from equipment financing; and
$2,260 came from interest on our bank accounts.  We began our equipment
financing operations during the second quarter of 2000.  We paid total
financing expenses of $375,858 during the period, for gross profit of
$974,323.

          Our selling, general and administrative expenses during the calendar
year ended December 31, 2004, totaled $216,961.  Our income before income tax
totaled $759,622.  After provision for income taxes of $314,001, our net
income during the period was $445,621.

          Calendar year ended December 31, 2003.
          --------------------------------------

          In the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, we received total
financing income of $1,168,224, of which $1,098,139 came from our insurance
premium financing contracts; $70,085 came from equipment financing; and $5,027
came from interest on our bank accounts.  We paid total financing expenses of
$305,712 during the period, for gross profit of $862,512.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $355,309 during
the calendar year ended December 31, 2003.  Our income before income tax
totaled $512,230.  After provision for income taxes of $213,752, our net
income during the period was $298,478.

          We have established an equipment financing line of credit of up to
$1 million for Golden Oak, at the prime rate.

          Many of our borrowers are involved in construction.  That industry
is sensitive to economic cycles and to bad weather, so either condition would
likely have an effect on our revenues.  However, because our borrowers'
operations include maintenance work and other work that is not very sensitive
to economic conditions, we believe that our operations are somewhat insulated
from an economic downturn.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
--------------------------------

          Our total assets as of December 31, 2004, were $9,769,428, as
compared to total assets of $9,872,275 at December 31, 2003.  We believe that
our current assets will be sufficient to allow us to operate for the next 12
months.  However, we depend heavily on our line of credit with First Bank to
fund our insurance premium financing loans.  As of December 31, 2004, our
payable on the line of credit was $6,507,900.  If we were to lose this line of
credit for any reason, our ability to fund these loans would be significantly
impaired and our income would be reduced.

     Safe Harbor Statement.
     ----------------------

          Statements made in this Form 10-KSB which are not purely historical
are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives,
intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future
performance and business of Birch Financial, including, without limitation,
(i) our ability to gain a larger share of the insurance premium financing and
equipment financing industries and our ability to retain relationships
with LCIS and Ackerman, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that
include the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "expects", "projects",
"anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "intends", "targets" or
similar expressions.

          Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties,
and important factors (many of which are beyond Birch Financial's control)
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in
the forward-looking statements, including the following, in addition to those
contained in Birch Financial's reports on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission: general economic or industry conditions, nationally
and/or in the communities in which Birch Financial conducts business, changes
in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements,
conditions of the securities markets, changes in the insurance premium
financing and equipment financing industries, demand for financial services,
competition, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting
principals, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts
of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and
technical factors affecting Birch Financial's operations, products, services
and prices.

     Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from
expected results in these statements.  Forward-looking statements speak only
as of the date they are made.  Birch Financial does not undertake, and
specifically disclaims, any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such
statements.

     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Birch Financial, Inc.
Granada Hills, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Birch
Financial, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries  as of December 31,
2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards established by
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).  Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The
Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Birch Financial,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

NOTE 1  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Nature of Operations

     The Company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April
     20, 1983, as Import Dynamics, Inc. between April 30, 1985 and April 17,
     1991, the Company changed its name to Peak Performance Products, Inc.,
     LumaLure Manufacturing, Inc., Sairam Technologies, Ltd., and Balanced
     Environmental Services Tech, Inc.  On July 16, 1993, the Company changed
     its name to United States Indemnity & Casualty, Inc.  The Company ceased
     operations in 1993 and was inactive until December 1999, when the Company
     acquired Birch Financials, Inc. a Missouri corporation (Birch MO), in
     exchange for 31,553,948 shares of its common stock.  The Company then
     changed its name to Birch Financial, Inc.

     Birch MO was incorporated on February 25, 1999 in the State of Missouri.
     Immediately after its incorporation, Birch MO acquired 100% of the
     outstanding stock of Birch Financial, Inc., a California corporation
     (Birch CA), in exchange for its own stock. Neither the Company nor Birch
     MO has significant assets or business activities. The consolidated
     financial statements primarily reflect the financial position, results
     of operations and cash flows of Birch CA.

     Birch CA was incorporated in the State of California on June 13, 1994.
     Its primary business is that of insurance premium financing. Birch CA
     finances insurance premiums that are brokered by the majority
     shareholders of the Company. The premium financing contracts are
     typically financed for a period of nine months and are collateralized by
     insurance policies with a term of twelve months. The Company is also
     engaged in equipment financing. Equipment financing contracts are
     financed for a period of one to five years and are collateralized by
     equipment.

     Accounting Method

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The
     following is a summary of the more significant of such policies.

     Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
     of Birch Financial, Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Birch MO and
     Birch CA. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are
     eliminated.

NOTE 1    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     Statement of Cash Flows

     Cash is comprised of cash on hand or on deposit in banks.  The Company
     had $104,177 and $149,737 at December 31, 2004 and 2003.  At times
     during the year the Company maintains more than $100,000 in one bank.
     Cash is only insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
     up to $100,000. Funds in excess of $100,000 are not insured by the FDIC
     or any other Federal agency. As of the balance sheet date the Company
     had $96,177 in a single bank. Cash overdraft consists of outstanding
     checks that have not yet cleared the bank.

     Deferred Income Taxes

     The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
     (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes," which requires the asset
     and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The asset and
     liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences
     of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by
     applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of
     taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. See Note 3
     below.

     Net Income Per Common Share

     Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding during the periods shown. The Company had no common
     stock equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
     and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.

NOTE 1    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     Financing Income

     Interest income on premium financing contracts is computed based on the
     method stipulated in the contracts, which in all cases is the "Rule of
     78's" method. The difference between the Rule of 78's method of interest
     recognition and the effective interest method required by U.S. generally
     accepted accounting principles for the period covered by these financial
     statements has been determined to be immaterial.

     Interest income on equipment financing contracts is computed based on
     the effective interest method. Late charges are recognized as income
     when payment for such charges is received. Recoveries of loans and
     receivables previously charged off are recognized as income when
     received.

     Receivables

     The Company complies with SOP 01-06, "Accounting by Certain Entities
     (Including Entities with Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the
     Activities of Others" ("SOP 01-06"). SOP 01-06 addresses disclosures on
     accounting policies relating to trade accounts receivable. Premium
     financing receivables, which have a term of not more than nine months,
     are stated at outstanding principal balance, net of direct charge-offs
     and allowance for uncollectible accounts. Charge-offs are deducted from
     receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. The allowance for
     uncollectible accounts is calculated as the principal amounts 180 days
     past due, that amount being $6,055 at December 31, 2004. Management
     believes this method to be adequate based on the Company's history
     coupled with the Company's ability to cancel insurance contracts for
     non-payment and receive early termination refunds directly from the
     insurance company.

     The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors
     for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS 118. These standards
     require that all creditors value loans at the loan's fair market value
     if it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all
     amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement. Equipment
     financing receivables, which have a term of one to five years, are
     stated at outstanding principal balance, net of allowance for
     uncollectible accounts, which approximates fair value. Management has
     not included an allowance for uncollectible equipment financing
     receivables due to a history of no credit losses on such loans. These
     loans are secured by equipment and the Company has security deposits in
     the amount of $68,582 at December 31, 2004.

     Web Site Development Costs

     The Company accounts for web site development costs in accordance with
     Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-2. Accordingly, all costs
     incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred
     in the web site application and infrastructure development stage are
     accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1 which
     requires the capitalization of certain costs that meet specific
     criteria, and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the web site
     are expensed as incurred.

     Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-based Payment.
     This standard is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
     Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation
     guidance. SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement of the cost of
     employees services received in exchange for an award of the entity's
     equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The
     cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is
     required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation
     cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not
     render service. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005,
     which will require stock-based compensation expense to be recognized
     against earnings for the portion of outstanding unvested awards, based
     on the grant date fair value of those awards calculated using a Black-
     Scholes pricing model under SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosure. The
     Company is currently evaluating to what extent the entity's equity
     instruments will be used in the future for employees services and the
     transition provisions of this standard; therefore, the impact to the
     Company's financial statements of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot
     be predicted with certainty.

     In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an
     amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify that
     for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs,
     and wasted material (spoilage), should be expensed as incurred and not
     included in overhead. In addition, this Statement requires the
     allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be
     based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The
     provisions in SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred
     during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is
     currently assessing the impact of SFAS no. 151 on its consolidated
     financial statements.

     Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards (continued)

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-1,
     Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to
     the tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the
     American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act") that provides a tax
     deduction on qualified production activities. Accordingly FASB indicated
     that this deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction in
     accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. The Company will comply with the
     provisions of FSP 109-1 effective January 1, 2005, and does not believe
     that the adoption of this FASB Staff Position will have a material
     impact on the Company's financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-2,
     Accounting for Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation
     Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("the Act"). The
     Act introduced a special one-time dividends received deduction on the
     repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer, provided
     certain criteria are met. FAS 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure
     guidance for the repatriation provision, and was effective immediately
     upon issuance. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FAS
     109-2 will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 2    Related Party Transactions

     The Company obtains its premium financing business largely through an
     entity that has the same management and directors as the Company. As of
     December 31, 2004 and 2003, the company had an unfunded premium
     financing payable due to this related party of $717,485 and $957,486,
     respectively.

     The Company had a premium financing cancellation receivable due from the
     same related party of $114,760 and $342,093 at December 31, 2004 and
     2003. The cancellation receivable is a result of the early termination
     of insurance policies for which the premium has been paid in full.

     The Company borrowed funds from a related party to fund its equipment
     financing business. At December 31, 2004, the Company had notes payable
     to the related party totaling $826,990, due on demand and bearing
     interest at 5.25%.  During 2004, the company paid this related party for
     administration fees in the amount of $24,800.

NOTE 2 Related Party Transactions (continued)

     The Company was obligated to pay a management fee bonus to a management
     company controlled by its executive officer. The fee was based on the
     Company's net income before tax and certain other expenses. The fee was
     payable annually following the year in which it was earned. The
     obligation to this party terminated during 2003.  For the years ended
     December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company accrued $0 and $121,558, and
     paid $121,558 and $84,062 to the management company, respectively.
     During 2003, the Company also paid a fixed management fee to the same
     entity in the amount of $4,000 per month. The management services
     received included the use of administrative employees and systems as
     well as office space.

NOTE 3    Accounting for Income Taxes

     In accordance with SFAS 109, the Company has recorded a provision for
     income taxes of $314,001 and $213,752 for the years ended December 31,
     2004 and 2003. Income tax liabilities per initial tax returns for the
     same periods totaled $304,293 and $203,150. A deferred tax asset has
     been recorded due to timing differences, namely amortization and bad
     debt expense, of the current year, not currently deductible for income
     tax purposes. No valuation allowance has been recorded because
     management believes that there is a greater than 50% likelihood that the
     deferred tax asset will be fully realized in future years. The deferred
     tax asset has been calculated as follows:

NOTE 5    Line of Credit Arrangement

     The Company has a $10,000,000 line of credit with a bank for its normal
     operating needs. Borrowing under this line is due on demand, bears
     interest at the bank's prime lending rate (5.25% at December 31, 2004)
     plus 0.5%, and is collateralized by the Company's premium financing
     receivable. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the balance due under the
     line was $6,507,900 and $6,180,573.  According to the debt covenants,
     should the Company's premium financing receivable balance fall below the
     outstanding principle balance, at any given time, funds are immediately
     callable by the creditor in the amount necessary to bring the principle
     balance equal to the receivable balance.  The Company is in compliance
     with this covenant as of December 31, 2004.

NOTE 6    Equity Transactions

     On November 8, 2004 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to
     increase authorized common shares from 63,000,000 to 200,000,000. Par
     value remained unchanged at $0.01. The Company also authorized
     10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01, having such
     rights and preferences as the Board of Directors shall determine. The
     change in authorized shares did not require any adjustment to the
     financial statements.

Item 8.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and

---------------------

          During the past two fiscal years, there have been no changes in our
independent auditors that have not been previously reported in our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001.  See Part
III, Item 13 of this Annual Report.

Item 8(a)  Controls and Procedures.
-----------------------------------

          As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our President, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on this evaluation, our President concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission
reports.  It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
In addition, we reviewed our internal controls over financial reporting, and
there have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors in the
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to
materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Significant Employees.

          We do not employ any non-officers who are expected to make a
significant contribution to our business.

Family Relationships.
---------------------

          There are no family relationships between any of our officers
and/or directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings.
-----------------------------------------

          During the past five years, no present or former director, executive
officer or person nominated to become a director or an executive officer of
Birch Financial:

          (1) was a general partner or executive officer of any business
against which any bankruptcy petition was filed, either at the time of the
bankruptcy or two years prior to that time;

          (2) was convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject to a
pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses);

          (3) was subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise
limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking
activities; or

          (4) was found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have
violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment
has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
--------------------------------------------------

          On or about February 13, 2003, each of our directors, executive
officers and 10% stockholder filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
a Form 3 Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities disclosing
our Company's securities that he/it beneficially owned as of that date.

          Oakwood Insurance Company Limited, a corporation organized under the
laws of Bermuda (referred to herein as "Oakwood"), which formerly owned
10,500,000 shares of our outstanding voting securities was dissolved at
December 31, 2004.  Pursuant to the Articles of Dissolution, all of the
securities of our Company that were owned by it were distributed to its
stockholders, pro rata, which included certain directors, executive officers
and affiliates of our Company. These securities were distributed to the
Oakwood stockholders on March 2, 2005; and requisite reports of directors,
executive officers and affiliates that received any of these shares were
required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 on
or before March 4, 2005; such Forms will be filed within 10 or the earlier of
when requisite filing codes have been received by these persons.  The change
in management and affiliate ownership is reflected in Part II, Item 11.

Code of Ethics.
---------------

         The Company adopted a Code of Ethics and it was attached as Exhibit
14 to our 2003 Annual Report.  See Part III, Item 13.

Audit Committee or Financial Expert.
------------------------------------

         Our Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee
financial expert.  Our Company does not believe, based upon our present
operations, that the failure to have such a committee or expert is material to
the financial statements of our Company.
