NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2001. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2000 included in the Westcorp Form 10-K/A. Certain amounts
from the 2000 consolidated financial statement amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 2001 presentation.
Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as amended, also known as SFAS No. 133, which requires all
derivatives to be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the
fair value of derivatives that are hedges will be either offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
directly through income or recognized through accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) on the balance sheet until the hedged items are recognized in
earnings, depending on the nature of the hedges. The ineffective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings if
the derivative is a fair value hedge. The ineffective portion of a derivative's
change in fair value for a cash flow hedge will be recognized in comprehensive
income on the balance sheet if the hedge is less than 100% effective or in
earnings if the hedge is greater than 100% effective.
The automobile contracts originated and held by us are fixed rate and,
accordingly, we have exposure to changes in interest rates. To protect against
potential changes in interest rates affecting interest payments on future
securitization transactions, we enter into various hedge agreements. From time
to time, we enter into these hedge agreements in amounts that correspond to the
principal amount of the automobile contracts originated. The market value of
these hedge agreements is designed to respond inversely to potential changes in
interest rates. Because of this inverse relationship, we can effectively lock in
a gross interest rate spread at the time of entering into the hedge transaction.
All of our hedge instruments qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. The
effective portion of gains and losses on these agreements are deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the completion of the
securitization transaction. Once the transaction is complete, this deferred
amount is amortized into earnings over the duration of the secured financing.
7
8
As part of the adoption of SFAS No. 133, we recorded a cumulative effect
adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $4.8 million, net
of tax, which represents the deferred loss on hedge agreements outstanding at
January 1, 2001. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the unrealized loss
on these hedges was $9.5 million, net of taxes of $6.5 million. Of the $9.5
million, $3.5 million relates to forecasted secured financing transactions. We
amortized $0.5 million into earnings, which is included in interest expense on
notes payable on automobile secured financing on the Consolidated Statement of
Income. We estimate that we will reclassify into earnings during the next twelve
months approximately $3.6 million of the unrealized loss on these instruments
that was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March
31, 2001. Of the $3.6 million, $1.2 million pertains to forecasted secured
financing transaction expected to occur in the second quarter of 2001.
Historically, to protect against market value changes on our MBS portfolio, we
entered into various hedge agreements. As part of the adoption of SFAS No. 133,
we redesignated these existing agreements from fair value hedges on our MBS
portfolio to cash flow hedges that will protect against potential changes in
interest rates affecting interest payments on future deposits gathered by us and
future securities sold under agreements to repurchase. As a result of this
redesignation, we reclassified the market value of these derivatives from
mortgage-backed securities available for sale to a separate asset or liability
designation depending upon the nature of these instruments. In conjunction with
this redesignation, we recorded a transition adjustment to earnings for the
$33.7 million unrealized loss on these derivatives offset by an equal amount of
unrealized gain on our MBS portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2001,
the unrealized loss on these instruments totaled $4.7 million, net of taxes of
$3.0 million. As of March 31, 2001, we recorded these instruments as a liability
of $30.7 million on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. We
reclassified losses of $632 thousand into income, of which $618 thousand is
included in interest expense related to deposits and $14 thousand is included in
other interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. We estimate that
we will reclassify into earnings during the next twelve months approximately
$1.5 million of the unrealized loss on these instruments that was recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2001. Recognition
of unrealized gains and losses out of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) into earnings is determined by the realization of interest payments on
such borrowings.
The fair value of these hedge instruments is estimated by obtaining market
quotes from brokers. We use highly rated counterparties and further reduce our
risk by avoiding any material concentration with a single counterparty. Credit
exposure is limited to those agreements with a positive fair value and only to
the extent of that fair value.
In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, also known as SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 140 is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. Other provisions of the statement
are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000 and include
additional disclosure requirements and changes related to the recognition and
reclassification of collateral. We do not expect SFAS No. 140 will have a
material effect on our earnings or financial position.

$ 5,605,111 $ 4,820,047
=========== ===========
Automobile contracts serviced by us for the benefit of others totaled
approximately $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion at March 31, 2001 and December 31,
2000, respectively. The decrease in automobile contracts serviced by us for the
benefit of others is the result of our newer securitization transactions being
treated as secured financings rather than sales.
NOTE 5 -- RETAINED INTEREST IN SECURITIZED ASSETS
Retained interest in securitized assets, also known as RISA, is capitalized upon
the sale of automobile contracts to securitization trusts. RISA represents the
present value of the estimated future cash flows to be received by us from the
excess spread created in securitization transactions. Future cash flows are
calculated by taking the coupon rate of the automobile contracts securitized
less the interest rate paid to the investors less contractually specified
servicing fees and guarantor fees, after giving effect to estimated credit
losses and prepayments.
RISA is classified in a manner similar to available for sale securities and as
such is marked to market each quarter. Market value changes are calculated by
discounting the estimated cash flows using a current market discount rate. Any
changes in the market value of the RISA are reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. On a
quarterly basis, we evaluate the carrying value of the RISA in light of the
actual performance of the underlying automobile contracts and make adjustments
to reduce the carrying value, if appropriate.
10
11
The following table sets forth the components of the RISA:
THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31,
------------------------
2001 2000
--------- ---------
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Balance at beginning of period $ 111,558 $ 167,277
Additions 19,240
Amortization (14,366) (22,235)
Change in unrealized gain/loss on RISA(1) 975 358
--------- ---------
Balance at end of period(2) $ 98,167 $ 164,640
========= =========
(1) The change in unrealized gain/loss on RISA represents temporary changes in
valuation including changes in the discount rate based on the current
interest rate environment. Such amounts will not be realized unless the RISA
is sold. Changes in prepayment and credit loss assumptions for the RISA are
permanent in nature and impact the value of the RISA. Such permanent
differences are immediately recognized in income as a component of retained
interest income.
(2) There are no restrictions on the RISA.
The following table presents the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be
received from securitizations treated as sales:
MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31,
2001 2000
----------- ------------
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Estimated net undiscounted RISA earnings $ 190,813 $ 235,270
Off balance sheet allowance for credit losses (82,473) (110,339)
Discount to present value (10,173) (13,373)
----------- -----------
Retained interest in securitized assets $ 98,167 $ 111,558
=========== ===========
Outstanding balance of automobile contracts sold through
securitizations $ 2,164,295 $ 2,608,017
Off balance sheet allowance for losses as a percent of
automobile contracts sold through securitizations 3.81% 4.23%
The decline in the off balance sheet allowance for credit losses both on a
dollar and percent basis is the result of our securitization transactions no
longer being treated as sales. Older transactions treated as sales have lower
losses each month after securitization as estimated future credit losses are
realized. We believe that the off balance sheet allowance for credit losses is
currently adequate to absorb probable losses in the sold portfolio that can be
reasonably estimated.
11
12
NOTE 6 -- SECURED FINANCINGS
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we issued $1.0 billion of notes
secured by automobile contracts. Interest payments on the notes are due
quarterly, in arrears, based on the respective note's interest rate. There was
$4.2 billion of notes payable on automobile secured financing outstanding at
March 31, 2001 compared with $3.5 billion at December 31, 2000. Interest expense
totaled $73.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with
$9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in interest
expense is due to treating our recent securitization transactions as secured
financings rather than sales.
We entered into swap agreements in order to hedge our future interest payments
on notes payable on automobile secured financings. We settled such financial
instruments at the time we closed these securitization transactions and received
or paid cash equal to the gain or loss on these instruments. Therefore, the
total interest payment cash flows on these notes were adjusted at such time.
NOTE 7 -- DIVIDENDS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Our primary sources of revenue are net interest income and noninterest income.
Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest
earning assets and the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.
Noninterest income is primarily made up of revenues generated from the sale and
servicing of loans. The primary components of noninterest income include
retained interest income on automobile contracts sold, contractually specified
servicing fees for the servicing of loans, late charges, gain on sale of
automobile contracts and mortgage loans, and other miscellaneous servicing fee
income. Other components of noninterest income include gains and losses from the
sale of investments and MBS, insurance income, fees related to the sales of
investment products such as mutual funds and annuities, and fee income from
depository accounts.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is affected by the difference between the rate earned on our
interest earning assets and the rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities
(net interest rate spread) and the relative amounts of our interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $93.2
million and $50.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The increase in net interest income is the result of us holding a
greater percentage of automobile contracts on balance sheet as we utilized our
own liquidity sources and treating our recent securitization transactions as
secured financings.

Interest rates for interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were as follows:

(1) For the purposes of these computations, non-accruing loans are included in
the average loan amounts outstanding.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to cover probable losses which can be
reasonably estimated for the loans held on the balance sheet. The allowance for
credit losses is increased by charging the provision for credit losses and
decreased by actual losses on the loans or reversing the allowance for credit
losses through the provision for credit losses when the amount of loans held on
balance sheet is reduced through loan sales. The level of allowance is based
principally on the outstanding balance of loans held on balance sheet and
historical loss trends. We believe that the allowance for credit losses is
currently adequate to absorb probable losses in our owned loan portfolio which
can be reasonably estimated.
The provision for credit losses totaled $27.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared with $11.9 million for the same period a year earlier.
The increase in the provision for credit losses was the result of a higher level
of automobile contracts held on the balance sheet. The allowance for credit
losses as a percentage of owned loans outstanding was 1.9% and 2.1% at March 31,
2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Automobile Lending
On a regular basis, we securitize automobile contracts in the asset-backed
securities market and retain the servicing rights. Such transactions are treated
as sales to a securitization trust or as secured financings for accounting
purposes. For transactions treated as sales to a securitization trust, we record
a non-cash gain equal to the present value of the estimated future cash flows
from the portfolio of automobile contracts sold less the write-off of dealer
participation balances and the effect of hedging activities. For these
securitizations, net interest earned on the automobile contracts sold and fees
earned for servicing the contract portfolios are recognized over the life of the
securitization transactions as contractual servicing income, retained interest
income and other fee income.
The components of automobile lending income were as follows:

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Gain on sale of automobile contracts $ 7,719

Other fee income 16,733 13,782
-------- --------
Total automobile lending income $ 26,934 $ 46,499
======== ========
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we securitized $1.0 billion of
automobile receivables in a transaction treated as a secured financing. For the
three months ended March 31, 2000, we securitized $1.2 billion of which $660
million was treated as a sale and $540 million was treated as a secured
financing. No gain on sale was recognized for the three months ended March 31,
2001 compared with $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
Retained interest income was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001 compared with $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. For
accounting purposes, retained interest income is only recognized on contracts
sold through securitization transactions treated as sales. Retained interest
income decreased as our recent securitizations are treated as secured
financings. Retained interest income on securitization transactions treated as
sales is dependent upon the average excess spread on the contracts sold, credit
losses and the size of the sold portfolio.
Contractual servicing income totaled $7.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared with $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000. For accounting purposes, contractual servicing income is only recognized
on contracts sold through securitization transactions treated as sales.
According to the terms of each securitization transaction, contractual servicing
income is generally earned at rates ranging from 1.0% to 1.25% per annum on the
outstanding balance of contracts securitized. Contractual servicing income
decreased as our recent securitizations are treated as secured financings.
Other fee income totaled $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001
compared with $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
respectively. Other fee income consists primarily of documentation fees, late
charges and deferment fees on our serviced portfolio, including automobile
contracts securitized in transactions accounted for as sales and secured
financings and automobile contracts not securitized. The increase in other fee
income is due to the growth in our average serviced portfolio to $7.0
15
16
billion for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with $5.5 billion for
the three months ended March 31, 2000.
Pro-Forma Statements of Income
The following pro forma portfolio basis statements of income present our results
under the assumption that all our securitization transactions are treated as
secured financings rather than as sales and, therefore, provide a method by
which to gauge our year to year performance. We believe that such a presentation
is an important performance measure of our operations, particularly considering
that our more recent securitization transactions are accounted for as secured
financings. If treated as financings, no gain on sale or subsequent contractual
servicing and retained interest income is recognized. Instead, the earnings of
the automobile contracts in the trusts and the related financing costs are
reflected over the life of the underlying pool of automobile contracts. We refer
to these pro forma results as "portfolio basis" statements of income since the
automobile contracts would have remained in our on balance sheet contract
portfolio if we accounted for the transactions as financings. We monitor the
periodic portfolio basis earnings of our serviced contract portfolio and believe
these portfolio basis statements assist in better understanding our business.
The following tables present the portfolio basis statements of income and
reconciliation to net income as reflected in our Consolidated Statements of
Income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, total noninterest expense was $61.3
million compared with $56.0 million for the same period a year earlier. The
increase is primarily the result of annual merit increases for associates that
went into effect during the quarter and the seasonal impact of higher collection
costs associated with a higher level of repossessed vehicles during the quarter.
Noninterest expense as a percent of total revenues improved to 50% for the first
quarter of 2001 compared with 53% for the same period a year earlier.
INCOME TAXES
We file federal and certain state tax returns on a consolidated basis. Other
state tax returns are filed for each subsidiary separately. Our effective tax
rate was 40.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with an
effective tax rate of 41.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW
Total assets increased $0.7 million or 9.3% to $8.6 billion at March 31, 2001
from $7.9 billion at December 31, 2000. This increase is the result of an
increase in mortgage-backed securities available for sale and in automobile
contracts held on the balance sheet.

ASSET QUALITY
Overview
Nonperforming assets, repossessions, loan delinquency and credit losses are
considered by us as key measures of asset quality. Asset quality, in turn,
affects our determination of the allowance for credit losses. We also take into
consideration general economic conditions in the markets we serve, individual
loan reviews, and the level of assets relative to reserves in determining the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
Automobile Loan Quality
We provide financing in a market where there is a risk of default by borrowers.
Chargeoffs directly impact our earnings and cash flows. To minimize the amount
of credit losses we incur, we monitor delinquent accounts, promptly repossess
and remarket vehicles, and seek to collect on deficiency balances.
At March 31, 2001, the percentage of accounts delinquent 30 days or greater was
2.30% compared with 3.18% at December 31, 2000. We calculate delinquency based
on the contractual due date. Net chargeoffs on average automobile contracts
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were 1.86% compared with
2.01% for the same period a year earlier. Stricter underwriting guidelines, the
successful implementation of our multiple credit scoring models, a greater
concentration of prime automobile contracts in our serviced portfolio and an
improved servicing platform have all contributed to better asset quality.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the delinquency of
our portfolio of automobile contracts serviced, which includes automobile

Nonperforming Assets
NPAs consist of nonperforming loans, also known as NPLs, Chapter 13 bankruptcy
accounts greater than 120 days delinquent and real estate owned, also known as
REO. REO is carried at lower of cost or fair value. NPLs are defined as all
nonaccrual loans. This includes mortgage loans 90 days or more past due and
impaired loans where full collection of principal and interest is not reasonably
assured. NPAs increased $2.2 million to $17.1 million at March 31, 2001 compared
with $14.9 million at December 31, 2000. NPAs represented 0.2% of total asset at
March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. There were no impaired loans at March 31,
2001 and December 31, 2000.
At March 31, 2001, interest on nonperforming loans excluded from interest income
was $0.4 million compared to $0.5 million at December 31, 2000.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Our allowance for credit losses was $110 million at March 31, 2001 compared to
$104 million at December 31, 2000. The allowance for credit losses and related
provisions are determined by considering loan volumes, loan sales, prepayments,
loss trends, levels of NPLs, management's analysis of market conditions,
individual loan reviews, levels of assets to reserves and other relevant
factors. The allowance for credit losses is reduced by net chargeoffs and
increased by the provision for credit losses. For the three months ended March
31, 2001, the provision for credit losses was $27.0 million compared with $11.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Net chargeoffs for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $19.9 million and $6.2 million,
respectively. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was the result of
a higher level of automobile contracts held on balance sheet. The allowance for
credit losses as a percentage of owned loans outstanding was 1.9% and 2.1% at
March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
We believe that the allowance for credit losses is currently adequate to cover
probable losses in our owned portfolio that can be reasonably estimated. No
single loan, borrower or series of such loans comprises a significant portion of
the total portfolio. The provision and allowance for credit losses are
indicative of loan volumes, loss trends and management's analysis of market
conditions.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Overview
We require substantial capital resources and cash to support our business. Our
ability to maintain positive cash flows from automobile operations is the result
of our consistent managed growth, favorable loss experience and efficient
operations.
In addition to our indirect statement of cash flows as presented under GAAP, we
also analyze the key cash flows from our automobile operations on a direct basis
excluding certain items such as the purchase or sale of automobile contracts.
The following table shows our operating cash flows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED

Operating costs 50,667 47,679
------- -------
Operating cash flows $34,361 $27,415
======= =======
Operating cash flows improved for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared
with the three months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of the improving credit
quality of our serviced portfolio as well as improved operating efficiency and
declining dealer participation rates.
PRINCIPAL SOURCES OF CASH
- - Collections of Principal and Interest from Automobile Contracts - Principal
and interest collections totaled $1.1 billion for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared with $0.9 billion for the three months ended March
31, 2000.
- - Deposits -- Deposits decreased to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2001 from $2.5
billion at December 31, 2000.
- - Contract Securitizations -- For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, we
securitized $1.0 billion compared to $1.2 billion securitized a year
earlier.
- - Borrowings and Other Sources of Funds -- Borrowings and other sources of
funds, which includes notes payable, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, and FHLB advances, increased to $5.0 billion at March 31, 2001
from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2000. The increase is due to a $1.0
billion securitization for the three months ended March 31, 2001 that was
treated as a secured financing.

PRINCIPAL USES OF CASH
- - Acquisition of Loans or Investment Securities - For the three months ended
March 31, 2001, total loan originations were $1.0 billion compared with $1.2
billion for the three months ended March 31, 2000. We purchased $209 million
of MBS and other investment securities during the three months ended March
31, 2001 compared with $554 million during the three months ended March 31,
2000.
- - Payments of Principal and Interest on Securitization Transactions - Payments
of principal and interest to noteholders and certificateholders totaled $778
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with $1.1 billion
for the three months ended March 31, 2000. During the first quarter of the
prior year, we paid off a $500 million conduit facility secured by
automobile contracts in a private placement established in September 1999.
This caused our payment of principal and interest to decrease in the current
year compared to the prior year.
- - Dealer Participation - Participation paid by us to dealers for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 totaled $29.2 million compared with $22.9
million for the same period in 2000.
- - Advances to Spread Accounts - The amounts due from trusts at March 31, 2001,
including initial advances not yet returned, was $290 million compared with
$357 million at December 31, 2000.
- - Operating Our Business - Operating expenses totaled $61.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $56.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank. As such, it is subject to
certain minimum capital requirements imposed by FIRREA and FDICIA. FDICIA
separates all financial institutions into one of five capital categories: "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." In order to be considered
"well capitalized," an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio of
10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 or core risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater,
a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and not be subject to any OTS order. The
Bank currently meets all of the requirements of a "well capitalized"
institution. See "Supervision and Regulation -- Regulatory Capital
Requirements".

The decline in capital ratios from December 30, 2000 to March 31, 2001 is the
result of an increase in the amount of automobile contracts held by us as we
continue to grow our automobile lending operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Included in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are several
"forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are those which use
words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "may",
"will", "should", "estimate", "continue", or other comparable expressions. These
words indicate future events and trends. Forward-looking statements are our
current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These
forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ significantly from historical results or
from those anticipated by us. The most significant risks and uncertainties we
face are:
- the level of chargeoffs, as an increase in the level of chargeoffs will
decrease our earnings;
- the ability to originate new automobile contracts in a sufficient amount
to reach our needs, as a decrease in the amount we originate will reduce
our earnings;
- a decrease in the difference between the average interest rate we receive
on the automobile contracts we originate and the rate of interest we must
pay to fund those automobile contracts, as a decrease will reduce our
earnings;
- the continued availability of sources of funding for our operations, as a
reduction in the availability of funding will reduce our ability to
originate automobile contracts;
- the level of notes treated as secured financings, as the level will impact
the timing of revenue recognition;
- the level of operating costs, as an increase in those costs will reduce
our net earnings;
- the effect of new laws, regulations and court decisions; and
- a change in general economic conditions.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
You should carefully review the factors referred to above and other documents we
file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our annual reports on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Fluctuations in interest rates and early prepayment of loans and MBS are the
primary market risks facing us. The Credit and Pricing Committee is responsible
for setting credit and pricing policies and for monitoring credit quality. Our
Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for the management of interest rate and
prepayment risks. Asset/liability management is the process of measuring and
controlling interest rate risk through matching the maturity and repricing
characteristics of interest earning assets with those of interest bearing
liabilities.
The Asset/Liability Committee closely monitors interest rate and prepayment
risks and recommends policies for managing such risks. The primary measurement
tool for evaluating this risk is the use of interest rate shock analysis. This
analysis simulates the effects of an instantaneous and sustained change in
interest rates (in increments of 100 basis points) on our assets and liabilities
and measures the resulting increase or decrease to our net portfolio value, also
known as NPV. NPV is the discounted value of the future cash flows (or `paths'
of cash flows in the presence of options based on volatility assumptions and an
arbitrage free Monte Carlo simulation method to achieve the current market
price) of all assets minus all liabilities whose value is effected by interest
rates changes plus the book value of non-interest rate sensitive assets minus
the book value of non-interest rate sensitive liabilities. The NPV ratio is the
ratio of the NPV to the market value of our assets as calculated above. In
general, an increase in interest rates would more adversely affect our NPV than
would a decrease in interest rates.
Another important measurement of our interest rate risk is `GAP' analysis. GAP
is defined as the difference between the amount of interest sensitive assets
that reprice versus the amount of interest sensitive liabilities that also
reprice within a defined period of time. We have more interest sensitive
liabilities rather than assets repricing in shorter term maturity buckets and
more interest sensitive assets rather than liabilities repricing in longer term
maturity buckets.
