Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

Item 1. Business. American Southwest Finance Co., Inc. (the "Company") was organized for the purpose of issuing mortgage collateralized bonds ("Bonds") in series ("Series") consisting of one or more classes (each a "Class") to facilitate the financing of long-term residential mortgage loans secured by single-family residences and is not permitted to engage in any business or investment activities other than those related to the issuance of Bonds. As a result of changes in the mortgage securitization industry including, among other factors, changes in federal and state tax laws during 1986 and 1987, the creation of real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") in 1987 and the emergence of FNMA and Freddie Mac as the largest domestic issuers of mortgage-collateralized securities, the Company has not issued any mortgage-collateralized Bonds since July 1987. During the last three fiscal years the Company has earned substantially all of its net income from redemptions of its outstanding Bonds and from other interest income. The Company is currently accumulating collateral for future issuance possibilities as well as considering other avenues of business. See the Financial Statements included as part of Item 8 of this Report for information with respect to the amounts of revenue, operating profits and identifiable assets at August 31, 1994. The Company and American Southwest Financial Services, Inc. ("ASFS"), an affiliate of the Company, are parties to an agreement (the "Mortgage Securities Issuance and Administration Agreement") dated as of January 1, 1988, and amended May 13, 1992, pursuant to which ASFS provides various services in connection with the issuance and administration of securities issued by the Company, and dictates the fees the Company will pay for such services.
The Mortgage Securities Issuance and Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party upon three month's prior written notice to the other party, except that ASFS may not terminate securities administration services provided as to any Series of Bonds which has closed prior to the date of termination without the consent of the Company.

Item 7.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Company was organized for the purpose of issuing various Series of Bonds to facilitate the financing of long-term residential mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. The Company does not have and is not expected to have any significant assets other than cash and the assets pledged to secure specific Series of Bonds. The Company last issued a Series of Bonds in July 1987 and redeemed all of its then outstanding Bonds in February 1994. On the closing of a Series of Bonds issued by the Company, the Company applied the net proceeds of the Bonds toward the simultaneous purchase or the repayment of indebtedness with respect to the mortgage collateral ("Mortgage Collateral") securing such Series of Bonds or to fund loans to participating finance companies ("Finance Companies") pursuant to
funding agreements ("Funding Agreements"). See Note 2 of the Financial Statements included in this Report. Results of Operations The Company's net income for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 was significantly lower when compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993 and higher compared to the 1992 fiscal year. Net income for the past three fiscal years resulted primarily from prepayment fees earned in connection with redemptions (see below) and other interest income. The Company's principal source of revenue was interest pursuant to Funding Agreements which was completely offset by interest expense on Bonds. See Note 2 of the accompanying Financial Statements. Interest income and related interest expense have declined over the last three fiscal years primarily due to the sale of Mortgage Collateral in conjunction with Bond redemptions, with the greatest impact to the Company taking place during the 1993 fiscal year. Until the Company issues new Series of Bonds, the Company will not receive redemption income subsequent to its 1994 fiscal year. As a result of the redemption of all of its then outstanding Bonds in February 1994, future operations depend upon the Company's success in accumulating collateral with which to issue new Series of Bonds or its ability to engage in other business activities deemed appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors. Other interest income consists primarily of interest earned on the Company's cash and cash equivalents and advances to affiliates. The Company's increase in other interest income during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 as compared to the 1993 and 1992 fiscal years is due to greater amounts of cash generated from net income and available for investment.
While there were outstanding Series of Bonds, the Company derived administrative fees by charging Finance Companies for administration of funds used to pay Bond administration expenses. Fees varied depending on investment returns on these funds. At the time of each full redemption of a Series of Bonds (see below), excess Bond administration funds were returned to the participating Finance Companies, with all remaining funds held being released in February 1994. Consequently, because of such reductions in Bond Administration Funds being invested by the Company, there is a reduction of administrative fees for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 as compared to the fiscal years ended August 31, 1993 and 1992. The indenture supplements relating to each Series of Bonds issued by the Company contained call provisions which gave the Company the option to redeem such Bonds in whole or in part when specific criteria were met. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994, the Company redeemed one Series in the principal amount of $7,113,317 as compared to 12 redemptions or partial redemptions in the principal amount of $94,601,000 during the 1993 fiscal year. At the time of a redemption the underlying Mortgage Collateral was sold and the proceeds from the sale were used to redeem the Bonds. The Company remitted the remainder to the participating Finance Companies after charging each a prepayment fee. The prepayment fees are included in redemption income. Other expenses primarily include professional fees and other similar redemption-related expenses. Redemptions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 incurred lower professional fees compared to the redemptions that were effected during the fiscal years ended August 31, 1993 and 1992.
Liquidity and Capital Resources At August 31, 1994, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $637,473 and advances to affiliates of $1,270,000. The primary use of capital during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994 was to lend funds to affiliates. Subsequent to August 31, 1994 the Company used $607,153 of its cash to acquire Mortgage Collateral. The Company anticipates that it will finance additional purchases of Mortgage Collateral and it intends to securitize the Mortgage Collateral so obtained, subject to the amounts aggregated and the interest rate market. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The primary revenue producing activities of the Company, Bond issuances and redemptions, are impacted by interest rates which in turn are affected by numerous factors. These factors include conditions in financial markets, the fiscal and monetary policies of the United States government and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, international economic and financial conditions and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. Virtually all of the assets of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the performance of the Company than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services since such prices are affected by inflation while interest rates generally are not affected to the same degree.

AMERICAN SOUTHWEST FINANCE CO., INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 1994 AND 1993
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS Organization American Southwest Finance Co., Inc. (the "Company") was organized for the purpose of issuing mortgage-collateralized bonds ("Bonds") in series ("Series") to facilitate the financing of long-term residential mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. The Company last issued a Series of Bonds in July 1987 and redeemed all of its then outstanding Bonds in February 1994. The Bonds were collateralized by certificates of the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (collectively, all such certificates are referred to as "Mortgage Certificates") and by conventional mortgage loans (together with Mortgage Certificates referred to as "Mortgage Collateral"). The Company does not expect to have any significant assets other than cash, Mortgage Collateral and any assets pledged to secure outstanding Series of Bonds. On the closing of a Series of Bonds issued by the Company, the Company applied the net proceeds of the Bonds toward the simultaneous purchase or the repayment of indebtedness with respect to the Mortgage Collateral securing such Series of Bonds or to fund loans to participating finance companies ("Finance Companies") pursuant to funding agreements ("Funding Agreements") (defined in Note 2). Discounts on Receivables Pursuant to Funding Agreements and Bonds Discounts incurred in connection with the issuance of Bonds and the related Mortgage Collateral were amortized using the interest method over the estimated life of the Bonds.
NOTE 2 - FUNDING AGREEMENTS AND BONDS PAYABLE The Company and each participating Finance Company entered into a Funding Agreement with respect to each Series of Bonds pursuant to which the Finance Company borrowed and the Company loaned all or a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds of such Series. All Funding Agreement receivables had been collected at August 31, 1994. Funds generated by principal and interest payments on the Funding Agreements were the source of funds for payments of principal and interest on the Bonds. Each Mortgage Certificate and mortgage loan was assigned an initial funding amount which in the aggregate was at least equal to the principal amount of the Bonds at the issue date. The indenture supplements relating to each Series of Bonds issued by the Company contained call provisions which gave the Company the option to redeem such Bonds in whole or in part when specific criteria were met. The Company exercised the right to redeem the remaining outstanding Series of Bonds issued by the Company during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994. At the time of a redemption the underlying Mortgage Collateral was sold and the proceeds from the sale were used to redeem the Bonds. The Company remitted the remainder to the participating Finance Companies after charging each a prepayment fee (presented as redemption income). Prepayment fees, including fees charged to affiliates, were assessed in accordance with specific policies established by the Company. NOTE 3 - TREASURY STOCK The Company acquired 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock from one shareholder during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993, the Company acquired from three shareholders a total
of 3,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1992, the Company acquired from seven shareholders a total of 7,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and sold a total of 4,000 Class A shares at cost to Directors. In each case, the shareholder who sold the shares to the Company simultaneously sold to two affiliates of the Company, the shareholder's shares in such affiliates. The total purchase price for the shares of all three companies, in each case, was allocated to the shares based on the relative book value of the companies on the date of the purchase. The Company also acquired 1,000 shares of Class B Common Stock during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994; acquired and subsequently retired 1,000 shares of Class B Stock during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993; acquired and subsequently retired 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1992; and utilized the cost method of accounting in all cases for the acquisitions of the Class A and Class B shares. See Note 4 relating to Class A shares of stock acquired subsequent to August 31, 1994.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company receives the use of office space, equipment, and certain managerial, administrative, financial and other services from an affiliate, American Southwest Financial Services, Inc. ("ASFS"), pursuant to the terms of an agreement (the "Mortgage Securities Issuance and Administration Agreement") between the Company and ASFS. Management fees for services rendered by ASFS are determined based on the number of Series of Bonds issued. There were no Bonds issued during the fiscal years ended August 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992; consequently, there were no management fees paid to ASFS for these periods. While Series of Bonds were outstanding, ASFS received administration fees which
were paid from the cash owned by Finance Companies (see Note 7 - Escrowed Reserve Funds) and were not expenses of the Company. The Company made advances to American Southwest Financial Corporation ("ASFC") during the fiscal years ended August 31, 1994 and 1993. The advances are collectible upon demand and interest accrues based on the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal. Prime rate was 7.75% at August 31, 1994 and 9.25% at August 31, 1993. The holders of Class A Stock of the Company and of ASFC own 100% of the Class A Stock of American Southwest Affiliated Companies ("ASAC"), parent company of ASFS and various other affiliates. The Company entered into a Letter of Understanding with one of its Class A shareholders dated in July 1994, and as amended and restated in September 1994, pursuant to which the Company, ASFC and ASAC each agreed to purchase, upon such shareholder's request made at any time prior to December 1, 1994, all of such shareholder's shares of Class A Stock in the Company, ASFC and ASAC (or any stock issued in exchange for such stock) at a price equal to the higher of (i) $1,000,000 or, (ii) in the event the Company has purchased Class A Stock from another shareholder prior to December 1, 1994 at a purchase price higher than $1,000,000, such higher price. On November 10, 1994 the Company, ASFC and ASAC purchased the Class A Stock for $1,000,000. The Company's allocated purchase price was $115,891. Additionally, on November 16, 1994, the Company, ASFC and ASAC purchased Class A Stock from two other shareholders at the same price.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES A reconciliation of income taxes at the statutory rate to income tax expense at the Company's effective rate is as follows:
August 31 August 31 August 31 1994 1993 1992
Computed federal tax at the expected statutory rate $ 113,900 $673,100 $ 63,300
Surtax exemption (7,400)
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 19,100 114,900 6,100
Provision for income tax $ 133,000 $788,000 $ 62,000
At August 31, 1994 and 1993, other receivables include refundable income taxes of approximately $5,783 and $54,700, respectively, resulting from the overpayment of federal and state estimated taxes. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, there were no timing differences between the recognition of income for book and tax, nor were there any net operating losses available to offset future book or taxable income.
NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding, since voting and dividend rights are limited to Class A shareholders. Class B shareholders' rights are limited to a return of capital upon dissolution together with a share of the Company's profits, if any, upon dissolution, provided such profits were not paid to Class A shareholders as dividends prior to such dissolution.
NOTE 7 - ESCROWED RESERVE FUNDS While there were Series of Bonds outstanding, the Company maintained and invested, on behalf of participating Finance Companies, certain funds ("Escrowed Reserve Funds") held primarily for future Bond administration expenses. After all of the then outstanding Bonds were redeemed on February 1, 1994, all Escrowed Reserve Funds were returned to the Finance Companies. The Escrowed Reserve Funds are not included in the Company's assets or liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet as of August 31, 1993.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 26, 1994, the Company purchased from its affiliate, ASFC, ASFC's rights and obligations in and to certain Funding Agreements that ASFC owned free and clear of any Bond obligations. The purchase price, which was equal to ASFC's carrying amount (par value of the Funding Agreements), included principal of $2,342,221 and accrued interest of $26,440. The Company paid $607,153 in cash, eliminated its receivable from ASFC in the amount of $1,276,741 including accrued interest to October 26, 1994 and signed an unsecured note to ASFC in the amount of $484,767 which bears interest at prime as published in the Wall Street Journal. The weighted average rate of the Funding Agreements at the purchase date was 9.715%.

Dear Mr. Eggebrecht:
After long and careful consideration, Valley National Bank had made difficult decision to cease bond trustee activity in the collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") field. We have become increasingly aware that we lack the economics of scale available to larger CMO trustees and cannot compete effectively given the fees bid in today's marketplace. We therefore, tender our resignation as Trustee of the bond issues of American Southwest Financial Corporation, American Southwest Finance Co., Inc. and Westam Mortgage Financial Corporation effective January 1, 1993.
We have enjoyed the many years of working with American Southwest Financial Corporation, American Southwest Finance Co., Inc. and Westam Mortgage Financial Corporation. The professionalism of the staff has been exemplary and we will miss them all. Our association has also provided us with the privilege to meet people and develop working relationships throughout the country which would otherwise have been missed. We will take every opportunity to make the transition to your selected successor trustee as smooth and uneventful as possible.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Susan J. McCord Susan J. McCord Vice President

AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT dated as of the 26th day of October, 1994 by and between American Southwest Financial Corporation, an Arizona corporation (hereinafter called "Assignor") and American Southwest Finance Co., Inc., an Arizona corporation (hereinafter called "Assignee").
WHEREAS, Assignor is a party to various funding agreements between itself and KBASW Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, a California corporation ("KBASW"), all of which are identified in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the "Funding Agreements"). The Funding Agreements were entered into between Assignor and KBASW in connection with the issuance by Assignor of various series of its Mortgage-Collateralized Bonds (all such series of bonds are collectively referred to as the "Bonds" and are identified on Schedule A hereto). Under the terms of the Funding Agreements, Assignor agreed to issue the Bonds and to loan to KBASW a portion of the proceeds of the Bond offerings (all such loans are collectively referred to as the "Loans") for application and payment by KBASW solely for the purposes enumerated in the Funding Agreements. As collateral security for repayment of the Loans and the performance by KBASW thereunder, KBASW did grant unto Assignor a security interest in the Collateral, which included the Mortgage Collateral (each as defined in the Funding Agreements).
WHEREAS, consistent with the terms of the Funding Agreements, the Bonds were issued pursuant to certain indentures (collectively referred to as the "Indentures"), by and between Assignor and The Valley National Bank of Arizona (now known as Bank One, Arizona, NA), as Trustee, and as collateral security for the Bonds, Assignor repledged to the Trustee the security interest in the Mortgage Collateral created by KBASW in favor of Assignor, to the extent provided in the Indentures, together with Assignor's security interest in the other collateral pledged to Assignor by other limited purpose finance companies.
WHEREAS, under the Funding Agreements, KBASW agreed to repay the Loans by causing payments on the Mortgage Collateral to be made directly to Trustee on behalf of Assignor.
WHEREAS, the Bonds secured by such Funding Agreements have been paid or redeemed in full and such Funding Agreements have been released from the lien of the Indentures; however, the Loans continue to be paid in accordance with the terms of the respective Funding Agreements.
WHEREAS, Assignor desires to assign, transfer and convey its rights and obligations under the Funding Agreements to Assignee and Assignee desires to acquire and assume such rights and obligations.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Assignment and Transfer by Assignor to Assignee of the Funding Agreement Rights.
Assignor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Assignee, effective as of the date of this Agreement, the Funding Agreements in exchange for Assignee's delivery of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
2. Purchase Price.

3. Assumption of Obligations.
Assignee hereby assumes and agrees to pay all of the debts and liabilities and perform all of the obligations of Assignor which are to be paid or performed by Assignor under each of the Funding Agreements from and after the date hereof, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of all amounts due under the Funding Agreements and performance of every covenant which Assignor is obligated to perform thereunder.

6. Controlling Law.
