evicted from the site. Mr. Strichman noted that he was making progress cleaning the
site after being evicted, but it slowed in August. Mr. Miller advised that the debris left
on the site and could interfere with the next steps at that site. The chairman advised
that we need resolve this issue before any work starts up at this site.

$1.3 in liability and $2.5 in equity. She advised that there are no significant changes
on the balance sheet. Mrs. Kurzejeski asked if we still own 2265 Fifth Street. Mr.
Strichman advised yes, but the details have not been worked out so the property has
not been sold. The chairman advised we should work to move that sale forward.
Ms. Flores discussed the profit & loss sheet and advised that there is a profit of
$48,000; that amount is directly related to the administrative fee received from the
IDA for 444 River Street.
Delinquency Report - The chairman asked about the delinquent loans. Mr.
Strichman advised that Rare Form was behind, but we received a check for $4,500
today which leaves only $1,500 outstanding. He advised that one of their loans is
paid off in 2019 and the other is the following year in 2020. The chairman noted that
the other delinquent loan, BSM Banquet, Inc., is now current.
The chairman spoke about the $65,000 loan loss reserve we currently have set up.
He noted that we have two loans, The Balance Loft and Infinity Café; that are older
loans that are tied up in bankruptcy and judgements that could be taken off of our
books. The board had a general discussion about increasing the loan loss or leaving
it where it is. The board agreed to leave the loan loss reserve at $65,000 in the
event that Rare Form and/or BSM Banquets, Inc. default.

Kitchen, Clark House, etc. and advised how they can be used to promote the board
going forward. Mr. Miller advised their individual stories would be make great
