(the "Company") sold fourteen mortgage-backed securities having a combined carrying value at September 30, 2002 of $53.2 million to an unaffiliated third party. The sales price of $53.2 million was determined through arms length negotiations between the Company and the buyer. The transactions are expected to result in the recognition of gain on sale of securities during the fourth quarter of approximately $13.3 million, all of which was reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") section of stockholders' equity in the Company's Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2002. The transactions resulted in net cash proceeds of $19.8 million, net of the repayment of $33.1 million in related debt.
