Results of Operations

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $11.0 million ($0.85 per share-diluted), a $7.2 million increase from the $3.8 million ($0.30 per share-diluted) reported in 2000. The increase in net earnings resulted primarily from a $22.9 million increase in non-interest income, and to a lesser extent a $6.1 million increase in net interest income. These revenue increases were offset by a $13.2 million increase in operating expenses, a $4.4 million increase in the provision for losses, and a $4.2 million increase in the provision for federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $6.1 million, or 31.8%, to $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $19.2 million for the comparable 2000 period. This increase was due to a $1.7 billion increase in average interest-earning assets between the comparable periods, offset by a $1.7 billion increase in interest-bearing liabilities necessary to fund the growth. This increase in the earning asset base is part of the Company’s growth and expansion plan. The increase in revenue was offset by the decrease in the Company’s interest rate spread. The spread decreased from 1.80% in the 2000 period to 1.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decreased spread, together with the $5.9 million decrease in the excess of average earning assets over average interest-bearing liabilities, resulted in a decrease in the Company’s net interest margin of 0.14% to 1.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from 1.94% for the comparable 2000 period.

Provision for Losses

The provision for losses increased to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.6 million recorded during the same period in 2000. The loss provision recorded in the 2001 period was utilized to offset actual charge-offs recorded within the 2001 quarter along with adding an additional $3.0 million to the general allowance for losses.

These increases in the general allowance were made to offset the continued increase in the Held for Investment portfolio, to compensate for the weakening economy seen in the first quarter, to maintain current ratios of allowances to non performing loans and total loans, and to compensate for the increase in charge-offs experienced in the first quarter.

The 2000 period provision of $1.6 million did not contain an increase in the level of general loss allowances. The allowance at March 31, 2001 stands at 0.55% of loans and 43.2% of non-performing loans. The allowance stood at 0.48% of loans and 39.3% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2000 and 0.53% of loans and 49.7% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2000.

Non-performing loans stood at $64.8 million at March 31, 2001, up slightly from $63.6 at December 31, 2000, and dramatically up from the $46.3 reported at March 31, 2000. Net charge-offs were an annualized 0.22% of average loans outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the 0.16% reported for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

Non-Interest Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, non-interest income increased $22.9 million, or 194.1%, to $34.7 million versus the $11.8 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was attributable to a large increase in net gain on loan sales and a small increase in net gain on the sales of mortgage servicing rights, offset by a decrease in other in loan administration revenues.

Table of Contents

      Loan Administration

Net loan administration fee revenue decreased from $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $581,000 during the comparable 2001 period. This decrease resulted primarily from an increase in the amount of the amortization recorded for mortgage servicing rights. This amortization increase was needed to offset the increase in the prepayment speed experienced within the underlying mortgage loan portfolio. Fee income before the amortization of servicing rights decreased $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, to $5.6 million, and an additional $1.3 million of the value of mortgage servicing rights was amortized during the 2001 quarter. At March 31, 2001, the unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others was $7.6 billion versus $9.6 billion serviced at March 31, 2000 and $6.6 billion serviced at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001 the weighted average servicing fee on loans serviced for others was 0.289% (i.e., 28.9 basis points).

      Net Gain on Loan Sales

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the net gain on loan sales increased $25.8 million, to $28.0 million, from $2.2 million in the 2000 period. The 2001 period reflects the sale of $5.4 billion in loans versus $1.4 billion sold in the 2000 period. The falling and lower interest rate environment in the 2001 period resulted in a larger profit margin (52 bps. versus 16 bps.) and the lower interest rate environment during 2001 influenced the increased mortgage loan origination volume ($5.4 billion in the 2001 period versus $2.0 billion in the 2000 period) which allowed the Company to sell more loans and thus creating more revenue in the 2001 period.

      Net Gain on the Sale of Mortgage Servicing Rights

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the net gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights increased $1.1 million to $1.4 million from $320,000 for the same period in 2000.

The 2001 gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights included a bulk sale of FNMA / FHLMC servicing rights totaling $2.2 billion which was sold with a net gain of $5.0 million. Also sold during the period was a series of flow sales of FNMA / FHLMC servicing rights totaling $1.8 billion. These rights were sold at a net gain of only $35,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company sold on a flow basis $91.0 million of GNMA servicing rights that generated a $400,000 gain. The offset to these sales was the final closing and transfer of flow servicing sales that occurred in the third and fourth quarter of 2000. This transfer reconciliation resulted in an additional adjustment of $4.0 million for loan payoffs. Management had previously accrued $1.0 million for such prepayments, but upon final reconciliation the totals exceeded those expectations.

The 2000 gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights included the bulk flow sale of FNMA / FHLMC servicing rights totaling $1.0 billion which were sold with a gain of only $39,000 and the bulk flow servicing sales of $85.1 million of GNMA servicing rights which generated a $281,000 gain.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded $4.7 million in other fees and charges. In the comparable 2000 period, the Company recorded $4.8 million. The fees reflected in this revenue line are fees collected on deposit accounts, certain types of non-residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, and miscellaneous fees collected for various customer service functions. These fees are not deferred, unlike the various fee income generated in the mortgage origination process. The timing and predictability of these fees in the future is uncertain.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table sets forth components of the Company’s non-interest expense, along with the allocation of expenses related to loan originations that are deferred pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.” As required by SFAS No. 91, mortgage loan fees and certain direct origination costs (principally compensation and benefits) are capitalized as an adjustment to the basis of the loans originated during a period. Certain other expenses associated with loan production, however, are not required to be capitalized. These expense amounts are reflected on the Company’s statement of earnings. Management believes that the analysis of non-interest expense on a “gross” basis ( i.e., prior to the deferral of capitalized loan origination costs ) more clearly reflects the changes in non-interest expense when comparing two periods.

Non-interest expense, excluding the capitalization of direct loan origination costs, increased by $21.9 million, or 64.6%, to $55.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $33.9 million for the comparable 2000 period. The increased costs are attributable to a number of different areas and are a product of the overall growth and expansion of the Company. The following are the major changes affecting the quarterly income statement;

  The retail banking operation conducted business from 21 more facilities at March 31, 2001 than at March 31, 2000.
 
  The Company conducted business from 14 more retail loan origination offices at March 31, 2001 than at March 31, 2000.
 
  The mortgage banking operation originated $5.4 billion in residential mortgage loans during the 2001 quarter versus $2.0 billion in the comparable 2000 quarter.
 
  The Company moved its national headquarters in October 2000. This move consolidated the operations of three leased facilities into one owned facility.
 
  The Company employed 1,863 salaried employees at March 31, 2001 versus 1,253 salaried employees at March 31, 2000.
 
  The Company employed 86 full-time nation account executives at March 31, 2001 versus 76 at March 31, 2000.
 
  The Company employed 362 full-time retail loan originators at March 31, 2001 versus 227 at March 31, 2000.

      Compensation and benefits

During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded compensation and benefits cost totaling $24.6 million versus $15.1 million in the comparable 2000 period. This $9.5 million, or 62.9%, increase is the result of the 170.0% increase in mortgage loan originations and the 55.3% increase in the retail facilities operated during the period. Also this category contains the employer portion of benefits paid on the 154.9% increase in the quarter over quarter commission expense.

      Commissions

Commission expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 totaled $13.0 million versus $5.1 million in the comparable 2000 period. This $7.9 million, or 154.9%, increase is the direct result of the 170.0% increase in mortgage loan originations. Commissions as a percent of mortgage loan originations were 23.9 basis points and 25.9 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

      Occupancy and equipment

The Company continued to experience increases in occupancy and equipment expenses for comparable year over year comparisons. These increases are the direct result of the expansion and growth of the Company. The $1.8 million, or 28.1%, increase in expenses charged in the 2001 quarter is the direct result of the 40.0% increase in retail origination facilities, the 55.3% increase in retail banking centers, the 48.7% increase in salaried employees, and the 47.9% increase in commissioned employees.

      Advertising

The Company’s increased advertising expenses are directly related to the continued expansion within the retail banking operation. This retail operation has increased 55.3% year over year in facilities managed and 45.7% in total retail deposit held at March 31, 2001. Advertising expenses increased $459,000, or 59.7%, during the 2001 period versus the 2000 period.

      Core deposit amortization

The core deposit premium recorded in July 1994 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a seven year time frame. The premium will be completely amortized in the second quarter of 2001.

      Federal insurance premium

The Company experienced a $47,000, or 38.2%, increase in the premium expense which is a direct reflection of the 45.7% increase in total retail deposits during the comparable quarters.

      General and administrative

The Company experienced a large increase in general and administration expenses in the first quarter of 2001 versus the comparable 2000 quarter. As was the case in the other captioned categories, the increases are the direct result of the expansion and growth of the Company. The $2.1 million, or 34.4%, increase in expenses charged in the 2001 quarter is the direct result of the 40.0% increase in retail origination facilities, the 55.3% increase in retail banking centers, the 48.7% increase in salaried employees, and the 47.9% increase in commissioned employees.

      Capitalized direct costs of loan closings

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company capitalized $19.1 million as the direct cost of originating the $5.4 billion (37,290 loans) in mortgage loans closed the first quarter. This compares to the $10.4 million capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 on the $2.0 billion (15,192 loans) in mortgage loans originated. This capitalization amount equaled $512 and $685, or 0.35% and 0.53% of loans closed during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

RETAIL BANKING OPERATIONS

The Company provides a full range of banking services to consumers and small businesses in southern Michigan and Indiana. The Bank operates a network of 59 banking centers. The Company has focused on expanding its deposit branch network in order to increase its access to retail deposit funding sources. The retail banking operation allows the Company to cross-market consumer banking services to the Company’s mortgage customers in Michigan and Indiana.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded approximately $8.5 million in earnings before tax from this operation. This total equated to a $2.9 million, or 25.4%, decrease in pretax earnings versus the comparable 2000 period. Although there is a dramatic decrease in year over year earnings, the sequential quarterly earnings are up 2.4%. The earnings generated and the expected growth in earnings in the retail banking operation were somewhat depressed due to the rapid expansion implemented within the operation. During the 2001 quarter, 22 offices, or 37.3%, of the total branch compliment did not have one year of seasoning. These branches were either operated at a loss or only marginally profitable during the current quarter.

MORTGAGE BANKING OPERATIONS

Flagstar’s mortgage banking activities involve the origination of mortgage loans or the purchase of mortgage loans from the originating lender. Company personnel originate loans and conduct business from 49 loan origination centers located primarily in Michigan. Flagstar purchases mortgage loans on a wholesale basis through a national network of correspondents consisting of other banks, thrifts, mortgage companies, and mortgage brokers. Additionally, this segment of the Company“s operations includes the mortgage servicing operation. The Company serviced $7.6 billion in mortgage loans for others at March 31, 2001.

The mortgage banking operation recorded pre-tax earnings of $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001. This total equated to a $14.5 million increase in pretax earnings versus the $5.5 million pretax loss recorded in the comparable 2000 period. The dramatic increase in earnings is attributable to the 170.0% increase in mortgage loan production and the increased gain on sale spread achieved on sold loans (52 bps. vs. 16 bps.) during the 2001 quarter.

Financial Condition

      Assets

The Company’s assets totaled $6.4 billion at March 31, 2001, an increase of $0.6 billion, or 10.3%, as compared to $5.8 billion at December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to a large increase in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $76.7 million at December 31, 2000 to $750.7 million at March 31, 2001. This increase was attributable to the large influx of cash generated in the Company’s mortgage banking operation, the large amount of loan payoffs, and the large increase in funds held in escrow for customers and investors. This increase in cash generated in the period was not used to extinguish a large enough position in the Company’s liability portfolio to avert the abundance of cash at March 31, 2001. As of April 30, 2001, the cash position was completely utilized in the Company’s operation. It was used to lengthen the mortgage banking sale process and to extinguish high paying liabilities that matured.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans available for sale decreased $136.5 million, or 9.5%, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2001, from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2000. This decrease is attributable to the Company’s decision to sell a larger portion of its mortgage loan production quicker in order to avoid prepayment and to take advantage of the current pricing available in the secondary market. The Company sold 99.2% of its originated loans during the 2001 period versus 70.4% in the comparable 2000 period and 80.9% for all of 2000.

Loans Held for Investment

As shown below, Loans Held for Investment decreased slightly ($11.1 million, or 0.3%) from December 31, 2000 and remain at $3.8 billion at March 31, 2001. This decrease is predominantly seen in single family mortgage loans but is also seen in construction loans whereas every other line item has increased. The largest increase can be seen in the Warehouse Lending operation which experienced a 209.4% increase in balances period end to period end. These balances represent loans to other mortgage lenders to facilitate their ability to close the secured mortgage loans for their customers.

Allowance for Losses

The allowance for losses totaled $28.0 million at March 31, 2001, increased from $25.0 million at December 31, 2000, and $23.0 million at March 31, 2000. The Company has increased its provision $3.0 million in the first three months of 2001 and $5.0 million over the last 12 months.

These increases were made to offset the continued increase in the Held for Investment portfolio, to compensate for the weakening economy seen in the first quarter, to maintain current ratios of allowances to non performing loans and total loans, and to compensate for the increase in charge-offs experienced in the first quarter.

The allowance for losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 43.2%, 39.3%, and 49.7% at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000, and March 31, 2000, respectively. The Company’s non-performing loans totaled $64.8 million, $63.6 million, and $46.3 million at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000, and March 31, 2000, respectively. The allowance for losses as a percentage of total loans, was 0.55%, 0.48%, and 0.53% at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000, and March 31, 2000, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company experienced a charge-off ratio equal to 0.22% of average loans compared to 0.18% during all of 2000 and 0.16% during the first quarter of 2000.

FHLB Stock

Holdings of FHLB stock has continued to rise relative to the Company’s use of FHLB Advances. At March 31, 2001 FHLB stock stood at $108.8 million. At December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, FHLB stock stood at $98.8 million and $79.9 million, respectively. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to hold shares of FHLB stock in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of its home mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20th of its FHLB advances, whichever is greater.

Accrued Interest Receivable

Accrued interest receivable increased from $39.1 million at December 31, 2000 to $48.4 million at March 31, 2001. This asset will fluctuate as the size of the earning asset portfolio increases or decreases.

Repossessed Assets

Repossessed assets increased from $22.3 million at December 31, 2000 to $24.5 million at March 31, 2001. During the first quarter, the Company sold $5.5 million of owned real estate assets and foreclosed upon an additional $7.7 million in seriously delinquent loans.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) totaled $132.3 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of $25.9 million, or 24.3%, from $106.4 million at December 31, 2000. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company capitalized $100.6 million, amortized $5.1 million, and sold $69.7 million in mortgage servicing rights. The principal balance of the loans serviced for others stands at $7.6 billion at March 31, 2001 versus $6.6 billion at December 31, 2000. The capitalized value of the mortgage servicing rights was 1.73% and 1.60% of the underlying principal balance at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

During the quarter, the Company completed one large bulk servicing auction sale, and three monthly flow-servicing sales under its semi-annual contract. In March, the Company sold $3.3 billion of underlying mortgage loans, but was only allowed to deliver $640.0 million under its flow-servicing sale contract. Similarly, during the 2001 quarter, despite originating $5.4 billion of underlying loans, the Company was only able to complete the sale of $1.8 billion. This inability to sell the MSR asset increased the MSR balance $44.4 million in March alone. In April, the Company sold $2.5 billion of underlying loans into the flow-servicing contract. The April sale reduced the MSR balance by $46.4 million.

The quarterly valuation of the MSR was $132.9 million at March 31, 2001.

Other Assets

Other assets increased $27.9 million, or 32.1%, to $114.9 million at March 31, 2001, from $87.0 million at December 31, 2000. The majority of this increase was attributable to receivables recorded in conjunction with the sale of mortgage servicing rights completed in the first quarter of 2001. Upon the sale of the mortgage servicing rights a receivable is recorded for a portion of the sale proceeds. The balance due is typically paid within 180 days after the sale date.

      Liabilities

The Company’s total liabilities increased $0.6 billion, or 10.7%, to $6.2 billion at March 31, 2001, from $5.6 billion at December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to a $502 million increase in total paying liabilities and a $113 million increase in funds held in escrow for investors and borrowers.

Retail Deposit Accounts

Retail deposit accounts increased $251.1 million, or 13.4%, to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2001, from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2000. This increase reflects the Company’s retail deposit growth strategy and its branch network expansion strategy. The number of bank branches increased from 52 at December 31, 2000 to 59 at March 31, 2001.

At March 31, 2001, the Company’s retail certificates of deposit totaled $1.5 billion, or 71.4% of total retail deposits. These certificates carry an average balance of $20,533 and a weighted average cost of 6.50%.

In the second quarter, the Company has $321.3 million of retail certificates of deposit maturing with a weighted rate of 6.59%.

Wholesale Deposit Accounts

Wholesale deposit accounts decreased $10.9 million, or 0.7%, and remained at $1.5 billion at March 31, 2001. Wholesale funds are used as an alternate source of funding until retail deposits can be gathered at more attractive rates. At March 31, 2001, the Company’s wholesale deposits consist entirely of certificates of deposit which carry a weighted rate of 6.14% and a weighted maturity of 16.3 months.

In the second quarter, the Company has $493.2 million of wholesale certificates of deposit maturing with a weighted rate of 6.84%.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

FHLB advances increased $261.7 million, or 15.1%, to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2001, from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2000. The weighted rate on the FHLB advances was 5.782% at March 31, 2001. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the weighted cost of advances was 6.05%. The Company relies upon such advances as a source of funding for the origination or purchase of mortgage loans that are later sold into the secondary market. The outstanding balance of FHLB advances fluctuates from time to time depending upon the Company’s current inventory of loans held for sale and the availability of lower cost funding from its deposit base and its escrow accounts.

Accrued Interest Payable

Accrued interest payable decreased $2.7 million, or 5.8%, to $44.0 million at March 31, 2001, from $46.7 million at December 31, 2000. The Company typically pays interest on a one month lag. The size of this asset fluctuates as the Company’s deposit portfolio and other interest paying liabilities increase or decrease.

Undisbursed Payments on Loans Serviced for Others

Undisbursed payments on loans serviced for others increased $92.9 million, or 138.0%, to $160.2 million at March 31, 2001, from $67.3 million at December 31, 2000. These amounts represent payments received from borrowers for interest, principal and related loan charges, which have not been remitted to the respective investors. These balances fluctuate with the size of the servicing portfolio and increase during a time of high payoff or refinance volume.

Escrow Accounts

Customer escrow accounts increased $20.0 million, or 36.4%, to $74.9 million at March 31, 2001, from $54.9 million at December 31, 2000. These amounts represent payments received from borrowers for taxes and insurance payments, which have not been remitted to the tax authorities or insurance providers. These balances fluctuate with the size of the servicing portfolio and during the year before and after the remittance of scheduled payments.

Liability for Checks Issued

Liability for checks issued decreased $321,000, or 0.7%, to $48.3 million at March 31, 2001, from $48.7 million at December 31, 2000. These amounts represent checks issued to acquire mortgage loans which have not cleared for payment. These balances fluctuate with the size of the mortgage pipeline, increasing in lower interest rate scenarios and seasonally while decreasing during a time when loan origination volume is down.

Federal Income Taxes Payable

Federal income taxes payable decreased $20.6 million, or 33.0%, to $41.8 million at March 31, 2001, from $62.4 million at December 31, 2000. This decrease is attributable to the payment of $27.0 million in current taxes and the $6.4 million increase in the tax liability attributable to the first quarter earnings.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities increased $3.9 million, or 5.6%, to $74.0 million at March 31, 2001, from $70.1 million at December 31, 2000. This increase is attributable to increases in accrued accounts payable relating to compensation and mortgage loan production expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the ability or the financial flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations on a timely and cost-effective basis. The Company has no other significant business concerns other than that of its wholly owned subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, FSB.

A significant source of cash flow for the Company is the sale of mortgage loans held for sale. Additionally, the Company receives funds from loan principal repayments, advances from the FHLB, deposits from customers and cash generated from operations.

Mortgage loans sold during the three months ended March 31, 2001 totaled $5.4 billion, an increase of $4.0 billion, or 285.7% from $1.4 billion sold during the same period in 2000. This increase in mortgage loan sales was attributable to the 170.0% increase in mortgage loan originations. The Company sold 99.2% and 70.0% of its mortgage loan originations during the three month period ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Company typically uses FHLB advances to fund its daily operational liquidity needs and to assist in funding loan originations. The Company will continue to use this source of funds until a more cost-effective source of funds becomes available. FHLB advances are used because of their flexibility. These funds are typically borrowed for terms that are less than one year with no prepayment penalty. The Company had $2.0 billion outstanding at March 31, 2001. Such advances are repaid with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale. The Company currently has an authorized line of credit equal to $2.5 billion. This line is collateralized by non-delinquent mortgage loans. To the extent that the amount of retail deposits or customer escrow accounts can be increased, the Company expects to replace FHLB advances.

At March 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding rate-lock commitments to lend $2.5 billion in mortgage loans, along with outstanding commitments to make other types of loans totaling $82.0 million. Because such commitments may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Also, at March 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding commitments to sell $1.8 billion of mortgage loans. These commitments will be funded within 90 days. The Company has issued warehouse lines of credit to various mortgage companies totaling $335.7 million, of which $206.7 million was advanced at March 31, 2001. The Company also has other unused commercial and consumer lines of credit totaling $73.9 million at March 31, 2001.

      Capital Resources

At March 31, 2001, the Bank exceeded all applicable bank regulatory minimum capital requirements. The Company is not subject to any such requirements.

Table of Contents

Item 3. Market Risk

In its mortgage banking operations, the Company is exposed to market risk in the form of interest rate risk from the time the interest rate on a mortgage loan application is committed to by the Company through the time the Company sells or commits to sell the mortgage loan. On a daily basis, the Company analyzes various economic and market factors and, based upon these analyses, projects the amount of mortgage loans it expects to sell for delivery at a future date. The actual amount of loans sold will be a percentage of the number of mortgage loans on which the Company has issued binding commitments (and thereby locked in the interest rate) but has not yet closed (“pipeline loans”) to actual closings. If interest rates change in an unanticipated fashion, the actual percentage of pipeline loans that close may differ from the projected percentage. The resultant mismatching of commitments to fund mortgage loans and commitments to sell mortgage loans may have an adverse effect on the results of operations in any such period. For instance, a sudden increase in interest rates can cause a higher percentage of pipeline loans to close than projected. To the degree that this is not anticipated, the Company will not have made commitments to sell these additional pipeline loans and may incur losses upon their sale as the market rate of interest will be higher than the mortgage interest rate committed to by the Company on such additional pipeline loans. To the extent that the hedging strategies utilized by the Company are not successful, the Company’s profitability may be adversely affected.

Management believes there has been no material change in either interest rate risk or market risk since December 31, 2000.
