UNAVAILABLE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Introduction
Although a variety of federal and state programs exist for establishing a
revolving loan fund, issues such as unavailable funding and extensive time
requirements needed to access programs eliminate these programs from present
consideration. This section provides evidence that RECDS' Intermediary
Relending Program is the only remaining avenue for NACOG's RDLF.
Federal Assistance
A federal revolving loan program currently exists through the Economic
Development Administration (EDA). The Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) under Title
IX Economic Adjustment Program is a grant that can be used for capitalization
purposes. Currently, EDA remains unauthorized and funds are not available for
new program applicants.
The situation for future funding availability isn't encouraging and NACOG has
been advised by EDA officials to seek and obtain funding for the RDLF program
from another source. Please see letter dated February 22, 1995 from Mr.
Anthony Perot, Arizona's EDR.
State Assistance
Although the State of Arizona has had a partnership with NACOG since 1975,
which has allowed for the response to the unique and varied needs of the
citizens in northern Arizona, at the present time there are no available program
funds through the Department of Commerce to finance a revolving loan program.
Please see enclosed letter for Ms. Linda Schulz dated February 9, 1995.
Commercial Lenders
Commercial lenders don't offer this type of loan on terms and conditions needed
to capitalize a RDLF. While many agree that the effort to establish a
development fund is necessary and appreciated, commercial lenders are
unwilling to approve a $2,000,000 loan to a non-profit organization for the
purpose of financing enterprises that are categorized as startups or high risk.
Please see enclosed turn down letter from banks.
Once again, the advice given by this group of lenders is to obtain funding from
avenues that have a history of this type of activity (e.g. Federal based programs
for economic development). However, commercial lenders have expressed an
interest in assisting in other areas. These include:
providing technical assistance for the development of the program,
providing the non-federal capitalization for the RDLF,
development of loan documentation needed for lending,
and marketing of the RDLF program.

Dear Ken:
I regret that there would be no funding for this
current Fiscal Year under the Title IX program with
which to start up a Rural Development Fund. Very
few RLFs -- as we call them -- are started; it is a
very complicated process at best.
I have not begun an RLF, though when the right oppor-
tunity comes along (and when the funding is available)
I would hope to do so.
If this situation should change I will let you know,
but I cannot be encouraging at this time.
Should you seek and obtain funds from another source
I am sure that NACOG will do a good job ot ensuring
that they go for fine investments.
Hope to get up that way before too long.
Sincerely,

efforts to establish the revolving loan program in northern Arizona is successful.

Dear Mr. Sweet:
I regret to inform you that National Bank of Arizona cannot make a $2,000,000 loan to your
Agency for capitalizing a Rural Development Loan Fund. The concept you described in our
recent meeting certainly has merit and we applaud your efforts to privately capitalize such a
fund, but this request would be outside the scope of our underwriting guidelines.
Please don't hesitate to call if we can help in any other way.

Dear Mr. Sweet:
This is to inform you that The Stockmen's Bank does not have an interest in making a $2,000,000
loan to a community-based nonprofit organization, such as your Agency, for capitalizing a Rural
Development Fund. The concept you described in our recent meeting could be a worthwhile
alternative source in augmenting the capital needs of small businesses in our rural communities.
We admire your efforts to privately capitalize such a fund. However, we do not offer the type of
loan that you require.
Please do not hesitate to call if we can help in any other way.
Sincerely
Jack G. Hunt

RECDS / FMHA AUDIT REQUIREMENTS
According to current RECDS / FmHA audit requirements, all IRP audits will be in
compliance with OMB Circular A-128 that was issued pursuant to the Single
Audit Act of 1984, P.L. 98-5022. It establishes audit requirements for State and
local governments that receive Federal assistance. NACOG is federally defined
as a governmental entity for auditing purposes and adheres to the requirements
of A-128.
The most recently completed audit (FY'93) was included in the initial IRP
application and conforms to the requirements of OMB Circular A-128. The
FY'94 annual agencywide (A-128) audit is nearing completion and can be
submitted at a later date if necessary.
NACOG will continue to observe the audit requirements set forth in A-128 and
assures RECDS / FmHA that the program IRP loan will also be audited using
these principals.

Dear Mr. Sweet: Ken
I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you yesterday about the NACOG application
for an Intermediary Relending Program loan. As we discussed, NACOG should address
the four points raised in Mr. Riggs' recent letter, and then RECD/Arizona will submit the
priority form to the RECD National Office for funding consideration. Our understanding
is that you will address the four issues in a letter to us by February 17, 1995.
After their preliminary review, the RECD National Office returned the loan application
file to our office last week, and we noticed a couple of points of concern in the file. On
the first page of the "Statement of Proposed Use of Funds", in the third paragraph,
NACOG proposes to make loans of $15,000 to $250,000, with 5/6 of the loan coming
from the RECD loan funds. The maximum loan amount to any ultimate recipient is
limited to $150,000, and the RECD/IRP loan share is limited to no more than 75% of the
total cost of the project to the ultimate recipient (see FmHA Instruction 1948-C, section
1948.110(a)(9)). The Statement of Proposed Use of Funds should be amended to reflect
these specific limitations and percentages. On the same page, in the fifth paragraph, your
proposal is that loans will be used for any legitimate business purpose. However, the
Statement of Proposed Use of Funds should be amended to reflect eligible and ineligible
loan purposes per FmHA Instruction 1948-C, sections 1948.109 and 1948.110 (some
legitimate business purposes in which ultimate recipients might be engaged are not
eligible under the IRP program, i.e., for funds distribution to owners, for loans for
charitable and educational institutions, etc.).
During the application process and at the time of obligations of funds, we will provide
you with a detailed statement of requirements for the loan. If there is any way we can be
of further service, please contact this office.
Sincerely,

EXHIBIT 1948.122(B)(4)
STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS
NACOG proposes to utilize the proceeds of the Intermediary Relending Loan to
establish a Rural Development Loan Fund (' RDLF') to provide financing for business
expansions in rural areas of Apache, Coconino, Navajo, and Yavapai counties of the
State of Arizona. The primary focus of RDLF will be to provide gap financing to
borrowers for commercial purposes.
Term loans for small business expansion are difficult to obtain. The major source of
loans, banks, will advise that they are not term lenders. Term lenders such as
insurance companies or pension plans generally seek larger investments than are
available in small business loans.
NACOGs' RDLF will finance 75% business projects typically from $15,000 to $150,000
with federal money. The balance will come from the Small Business Loan Fund
(SBLF). As the source of funds for the SBLF must be repaid over a shorter maturity
than the FmHA relending loan, payments received from each borrower will first be
applied to the portion funded from the SBLF.
The corporation proposes to charge each borrower a $300 loan application fee (50%
refundable for unsuccessful applicants) plus a 1.5 points origination fee. Borrowers
will also be responsible for legal fees associated with processing of the loan
application. These charges may be included in the loan balance. The points, however,
will be earned by NACOG's SBLF, and will be used to administer the program.
Loans will be made to eligible projects set forth in FmHA Instruction 1948-C, sections
1948.109 and 1948.110. The term of non-real estate loans will be limited to ten years
(with an anticipated average maturity of seven years) in order to facilitate the revolving
nature of the fund. The term of real estate loans will be limited to twenty years, with an
anticipated average maturity of fifteen years. Loan amortization will depend on the
proposed use of funds. Working capital loans will generally be amortized between
seven and ten years (depending on collateral). Loans to acquire or construct real
estate will be amortized up to twenty years.
Interest rates will be somewhat flexible, enhancing the likelihood of repayment. In
general, however, the rate will be fixed at the prime rate prevailing at the time the
business is funded, plus 1%.
Loans for refinancing debt due Arizona banks will not be made. This will avoid placing
the corporation in competition with banks. However, the corporation shall entertain
loan requests for refinancing in cases where the maturity of the note is imminent and
the present holder of the note is unwilling or unable to extend.
