Interest rate risk is a significant market risk and can result from timing and volume differences in the repricing of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, widening or tightening of credit spreads, changes in the general level of market interest rates and changes in the shape and level of market yield curves. The Company manages the interest rate sensitivity of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment balanced against maximizing profit. Management of interest rate risk is carried out primarily through strategies involving cash, loan portfolio, and available funding sources.

The Newtek Bank board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee (the “ALCO Committee”) to oversee the implementation of an effective process for managing the risk profile inherent in Newtek Bank’s balance sheet and related business activities as well as the ongoing monitoring and reporting thereon. Risks inherent in Newtek Bank’s balance sheet include interest rate risk (i.e., the risk to liquidity and capital resulting from changes in interest rates), liquidity risk (the risk to the availability of funds to execute its business strategy and meet its obligations), and similar risks. The ALCO Committee, subject to Newtek Bank board approval, is responsible for establishing policies, risk limits and capital levels (collectively “ALM Policies”) as well overseeing and monitoring compliance therewith. Newtek Bank’s ALM Policies set forth a risk management framework relating to managing liquidity, managing fluctuations in interest rates, capital management, investments, and hedging and the use of derivatives. The ALCO Committee and Newtek Bank’s board may implement additional policies and procedures relating to these areas in order to manage risk to an appropriate level.

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The Company analyzes interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of two simulation models: economic value of equity (“EVE”) and net interest income (“NII”) simulations. These simulations project both short-term and long-term interest rate risk under a variety of instantaneous parallel rate shocks applied to a static balance sheet. The EVE simulation provides a long-term view of interest rate risk because it analyzes all of the Company’s future cash flows. EVE is
