Exhibit 99.3
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Glaser Financial Group, Inc.
Saint Paul, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Glaser Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1— DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Glaser Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the arranging and servicing of commercial real estate financing. Mortgages funded by the Company are held on a short-term basis and sold pursuant to sales commitments entered into simultaneously with the commitment to originate the mortgage. The Company performs servicing activities for debt on existing properties that involve collecting payments, managing escrow accounts, and monitoring compliance with debt agreements. The Company also performs servicing activities related to construction loans during the construction period that involve progress reviews of construction sites and the disbursements of funds to contractors. The Company has been approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to serve as a mortgagee, with authority to originate, purchase, sell, and service mortgages and as a Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) issuer under the GNMA Multifamily Mortgage-Backed Securities program. The Company participates as a lender in the Federal National Mortgage Association’s (“FNMA”) Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS”) program and serves as a Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”) Program Plus Seller-Servicer.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
The Company purchases short-term highly liquid debt instruments that are deposited into a restricted collateral account and held by a custodian pursuant to the DUS Reserve Agreement between FNMA and the Company.
Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable
Accounts and notes receivable are recorded at the unpaid principal balance, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management has determined that all amounts are fully collectible and no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary. Accounts receivable is primarily attributable to interest on construction loans and principal and interest on certain other loans.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The determination of market value includes consideration of outstanding commitments from investors. Gains and losses on sales of loans are computed and recorded based on the carrying value of the loans when sold.
Leasehold Improvements, Furniture, and Equipment
Leasehold improvements, furniture, and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on an accelerated basis over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life.
Escrow Trust Funds
The Company holds escrow trust funds of $96,455,637 and $86,732,313 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, which are carried at cost, in separate bank accounts. These funds cannot be used as general operations funds of the Company and are not recorded in the financial statements.
Financing Fees
Financing fees, which consist of loan and commitment fees, are recognized when the loan is closed, which does not differ materially from recognizing fees over the estimated life of the loan.
Servicing Fees
Servicing fees are recognized as earned. Fees received prior to services being rendered are deferred until the services are performed.
Other Operating Income
Other income primarily relates to loan processing and transfer/assumption fees. Other operating income is recognized when earned and collection of fees is reasonably assured.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized when earned and relates primarily to interest on loans.
5
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company accounts for mortgage servicing rights in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which provides guidance for the origination, purchase, amortization, and measurement of potential impairment of servicing rights. In accordance with SFAS No. 140, the Company allocates the total cost of the mortgage loans (including the cost to acquire the servicing rights) to the mortgage loan and the servicing rights based on their respective relative fair values. The fair values are determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows, using assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of values. The Company amortizes capitalized mortgage servicing rights in proportion to, and over the period of, the associated future income stream.
The Company evaluates mortgage servicing rights for possible impairment based on the difference between the carrying amount and current fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 140. To evaluate and measure impairment, the loan servicing portfolio is stratified by type of investor and year of origination. Fair value is compared to amortized cost of each stratum to determine possible impairment. Management believes that the estimate of fair value incorporates assumptions that market participants use; however, since considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.
Income Taxes
The Company elected S corporation status effective November 1, 1997, whereby the taxable income and any available tax credits of the Company will be included in the income tax returns of its shareholders.
Use of Estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimate is its valuation of mortgage servicing rights.
The accompanying unaudited financial information has been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in the opinion of management contains all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
Derivatives
All derivatives, including those embedded in other contracts, are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The Company has determined that certain loan purchase and sales commitments meet the definition of a derivative as defined in SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and related interpretations. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into a loan commitment, which meets the definition of a derivative, after an offsetting sales commitment with the same terms has been entered into. Loan sales commitments are designated as a fair value hedge of loan purchase commitments until the loans are funded. Subsequent to funding, the sales commitments are designated as a hedge of the interest rate risk associated with loans held for sale. Changes in the fair value of these sales commitments and the related hedged items are recorded in the statement of income. The unrealized gain on loans and commitments and liability on commitments to deliver loans were not material to the Company as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements to conform to the current-period presentation. There was no change in previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 3— MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Management estimated the fair value of recognized servicing assets to be approximately $46,873,000 and $49,389,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Management believes that the fair value of its mortgage servicing portfolio is in excess of the carrying value and no impairment has been recorded.
The following summarizes the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of mortgage servicing rights as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

The Company generally retains no exposure for credit issues on loans subsequent to sale except for FNMA DUS loans.
As a lender in the FNMA DUS program, the Company retains a portion of the risk of loss for loans originated. The net loss on the foreclosure of the loan is shared between FNMA and the Company based upon established loss sharing ratios. For the loan base outstanding at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company would share losses of 25% of 20% of the unpaid principal balance on the date prior to the asset valuation date plus 10% of any losses beyond the initial 20% of the unpaid principal balance. This aggregate loss is capped at a share allocation to the Company of 20% of the original outstanding principal balance of the mortgage.
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had no delinquent FNMA DUS loans or FNMA DUS loans in the process of foreclosure. Accordingly, the Company has recorded no accrual for losses related to FNMA DUS loans as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The total FNMA DUS portfolio serviced by the Company at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is $1,588,281,375 and $1,581,044,326, respectively.
