Highlight of Business Operations:

The Bank services a pool of multifamily loans sold to FNMA that had an outstanding principal balance of $279.8 million at September 30, 2012. Pursuant to the sale agreement with FNMA, the Bank retained the First Loss Position, which totaled $16.4 million at September 30, 2012. Against this contingent liability, the Bank has charged through earnings a recorded liability (reserve for First Loss Position) of $1.5 million as of September 30, 2012, leaving approximately $14.9 million of potential charges to earnings for future losses (if any). At September 30, 2012, within the pool of multifamily loans sold to FNMA, three loans totaling $2.0 million were 90 days or more delinquent, and no loans were delinquent between 30 and 89 days. At December 31, 2011, within the pool of multifamily loans sold to FNMA, one $1.3 million loan was delinquent between 30 and 89 days, and one $757,000 loan was 90 days or more delinquent. The Bank manages the collection of these loans in the same manner as it does for portfolio loans. Under the terms of the servicing agreement with FNMA, the Bank is obligated to fund FNMA all monthly principal and interest payments under the original terms of the loans, and to indemnify FNMA for any further losses (as defined in the sale agreement) until the earlier of the following events: (i) the Bank re-acquires the loan from FNMA or it enters OREO status; or (ii) the entire pool of loans sold to FNMA have either been fully satisfied or enter OREO status. However, the aggregate losses incurred by the Bank on this pool of serviced loans cannot exceed the total First Loss Position.
