Note 2. Direct Loan Investments
AMFS direct loan investments to date have been loans acquired via assignment from the ASCF retail funds and ASCF Managed Investments Pty Ltd at reasonably conservative loan to valuation ratios some of which may be in arrears.
The benefit of acquiring loans in arrears is that the interest rate applicable to these loans is higher than the standard rate charged to borrowers who pay their interest on time.
These loans, therefore, offer a high internal rate of return on the capital invested in the loan presuming the full loan value including all loan interest and fees are recovered. In addition to acquiring loans in default from our retail funds AMFS also originates new loans either in its own right or jointly funded loans with the ASCF Retail Funds at interest rates that provide a healthy net interest margin.
Listed below are the details of the current direct loan investments held by AMFS as at the 30th September 2025.

Note 3. ASCF Warehouse Facility
ASCF entered into a $100m 2 year warehouse facility on the 17th July 2025 with a major Australian bank providing $75m in funding as the senior note holder, AMFS agreeing to provide $22.5m as the mezzanine note holder and ASCF Ltd providing $2.5m in seller notes. The facility will provide additional liquidity to the ASCF Group and when fully deployed will result in ASCF having over $400m in funds under management.
The terms of the warehouse allows ASCF to fund 1st mortgage loans only up to 70% LVR over Australian property with a maximum loan amount of $2.5m and maximum loan term of 12 months.
The senior noteholder will be paid 350bps over the 1 month BBSW or approximately 7.1% per annum, the mezzanine note holder will be paid 700bps over the 1 month BBSW or approximately 10.6% per annum and the seller notes are zero coupon.
In the event of losses accruing under the facility the seller notes will be extinguished first, the mezzanine notes next and the senior notes last.
The initial acquisition of tranche 1 of the seller note of $1.25m was made by ASCF Ltd on the 14th August 2025 via a loan from AMFS to ASCF Ltd. AMFS was granted a specific security charge over the seller notes issued to ASCF Ltd for the loan which was made at 12% per annum with interest paid monthly. All interest payments on the loan have been on time and in full by ASCF Ltd to AMFS. A more detailed update on the warehouse facility will be provided as funds are deployed in the December quarter update.
