FIRST REPUBLIC PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

First
Republic Preferred Capital Corporation (the Company), a Nevada corporation, was formed in April 1999. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (the Bank), a federal stock
savings bank, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (Merrill Lynch & Co.). The Company was initially formed by First Republic Bank (First Republic) for the purpose of raising
capital. The Companys principal business is acquiring, holding, financing and managing assets secured by real estate mortgages and other obligations secured by real property, as well as certain other qualifying real estate investment trust
(REIT) assets (collectively, the Mortgage Assets). The Mortgage Assets presently held by the Company are loans secured by single family and multifamily real estate properties (Mortgage Loans) that were acquired
from First Republic. The Company expects that all, or substantially all, of its Mortgage Assets will continue to be Mortgage Loans acquired from First Republic. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT and intends to make distributions to its
stockholders such that the Company is relieved of substantially all income taxes relating to ordinary income under applicable tax regulations. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements.

First Republic owned 100% of the Companys outstanding shares until September 2007 when Merrill Lynch & Co. acquired all of
the outstanding shares of First Republics common stock. First Republic became a division of the Bank, and the Bank became the controlling shareholder of the Company. On January 1, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America
Corporation (Bank of America) merged with and into Merrill Lynch & Co., with Merrill Lynch & Co. continuing as the surviving corporation and a subsidiary of Bank of America. As a result of the merger, among other
things, all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch & Co., including the Bank and the Company, have become indirect subsidiaries of Bank of America. The acquisition of the Company was accounted for under the acquisition
method of accounting, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). The Companys assets and liabilities were
remeasured as of January 1, 2009 (the acquisition date) based on their estimated fair values. (See Note 3, Purchase Accounting Allocation.) Purchase accounting changed the basis of the Companys assets and
liabilities compared with periods prior to the change of control. Accordingly, the Companys financial statements are presented for periods prior to the acquisition (the Predecessor Company) and subsequent to the acquisition (the
Successor Company). The Predecessor Company and Successor Company periods have been separated by a vertical line on the face of the financial statements to distinguish between the Companys historical basis of accounting prior to
the change of control and after the change of control. Tables in the footnotes to the financial statements and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented without the
Predecessor Company and Successor Company distinction. As a result of the change in control, the Company changed its fiscal quarter end from the last Friday of the third month in the quarter to the last calendar day of the quarter. In addition, the
Companys activities after its 2008 fiscal year end through December 31, 2008 are included in the Statement of Income for the first six months of 2009. The impact of this change and the additional activity recorded in the first six months
of 2009 resulted in approximately $156,000 of additional net income. There were no changes in the Companys Board of Directors, material agreements or outstanding issues of preferred stock.

At June 30, 2009, the Company has issued 30,538,277 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Bank owns all of the common stock of the
Company. Earnings per share data is not presented, as the Companys common stock is not publicly traded.

These
interim financial statements are intended to be read in conjunction with the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2008 (the 2008 Annual Report), Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

##### Table of Contents

The results of operations of the Company and the Bank are subject to various risks, including business,
economic, legal and regulatory conditions and factors. Additional information is included in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2008 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 10,
2009.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Mortgage Loans

The Company has acquired all Mortgage
Loans from First Republic at a price equal to First Republics carrying value. Mortgage Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of purchase discounts and premiums. In accordance with SFAS No. 141(R), Mortgage Loans were
revalued to reflect their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. (See Note 3.) Discounts or premiums on Mortgage Loans are accreted or amortized as yield adjustments over the weighted average contractual lives of the loans using methods
that approximate the interest method. The unaccreted discount or unamortized premium on a loan sold or paid in full is recognized in income at the time of sale or payoff.

The Company recognizes interest income, net of servicing fees paid to First Republic, in the month earned. The Company places a loan on nonaccrual status, and interest income is not recorded on the loan, when the loan
becomes more than 90 days delinquent, except for a single family loan that is well secured and in the process of collection, or at such earlier times as management determines that the ultimate collection of all contractually due principal or
interest is unlikely. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest income may be recorded when cash is received if the Companys recorded investment in such loan is deemed collectible. When, in managements judgment, the
borrowers ability to make periodic interest and principal payments resumes, the loan is returned to accrual status. The Company classifies a loan as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that can be reasonably anticipated based upon specific conditions at the time. The Company considers a
number of factors, including the Companys and First Republics past loss experience, First Republics underwriting policies, the amount of past due and nonperforming loans, legal requirements, recommendations or requirements of
regulatory authorities, current economic conditions and other factors. If the Company were to determine that an additional provision is required, the Company would provide for loan losses by charging current income. The Companys allowance for
loan losses became part of the loan carrying value due to purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, there was no provision for loan losses recorded for the first six months of 2009.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired through
foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell such real estate. The Company records costs related to holding real estate as expenses when incurred. The Company has not owned any real estate since inception.

Statement of Cash Flows

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and an interest-earning deposit with First Republic. As a REIT making sufficient dividend distributions, the Company paid no income taxes
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 or June 27, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 168). SFAS No. 168 approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental
GAAP. The Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards have been superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered
nonauthoritative. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 will not impact the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). SFAS No. 165 provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The adoption of SFAS
No. 165, which became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, did not impact the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing,
August 10, 2009. (See Note 10 Subsequent Events.)

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB Opinion 28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1). FSP FAS 107-1 requires expanded disclosures for all financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, such as loans that are not measured at fair value through earnings. The expanded disclosure requirements for FSP FAS 107-1 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted
the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 during the second quarter of 2009. Since FSP FAS 107-1 only requires certain additional disclosures, it did not affect the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. (See Note 8 Fair
Value of Financial Instruments.)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), which significantly changes the financial
accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires, for example: (i) more assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, (ii) liabilities related to contingent consideration
to be remeasured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period with changes reflected in earnings and not goodwill, and (iii) all acquisition-related costs to be expensed as incurred by the acquirer. Bank of America applied SFAS
No. 141(R) to its January 1, 2009 acquisition of the Company, the effects of which are included in the Companys financial statements. See Note 3.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP FAS 141(R)-1). This FSP
requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies to be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be
determined, companies should typically account for the acquired contingencies using existing guidance. FSP FAS 141(R)-1 is effective for new acquisitions consummated on or after January 1, 2009. Bank of America applied the concepts of FSP FAS
141(R)-1 to its January 1, 2009 acquisition of the Company. The adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 by the Company did not have an impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3. Purchase Accounting Allocation

Management
estimated the fair value of assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date to be equal to their carrying values with the exception of Mortgage Loans. As a result of applying the acquisition method of accounting to the Companys assets and
liabilities, the Companys Mortgage Loans were adjusted to their estimated fair values. The following table presents the purchase accounting

adjustments to recognize assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the net reduction to assets recorded in
additional paid-in capital. In addition, the Companys retained earnings as of January 1, 2009 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of Bank of Americas
analysis of the fair values of Merrill Lynch & Co.s assets and liabilities; therefore, the purchase accounting adjustments may be revised in future periods.

discount, which is accreted into interest income over the remaining weighted average life of the related loans, beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The purchase accounting adjustments did not impact cash flows.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

The
Companys related party transactions include the acquisition of Mortgage Loans from First Republic, loan servicing fees paid to First Republic and advisory fees paid to First Republic. The following table presents the Companys related

Since inception, the Company has acquired all Mortgage Loans from First Republic at a price equal
to First Republics carrying value of the loans. The Company did not purchase any loans from First Republic for the first three or six months of 2009 and 2008.

First Republic retains loan servicing fees on the Companys Mortgage Loans under a loan purchase and servicing agreement pursuant to which First Republic performs, among other things, servicing of loans held by
the Company in accordance with normal industry practice. In its capacity as servicer, First Republic receives Mortgage Loan payments on behalf of the Company and holds the payments in custodial accounts at First Republic. Pursuant to the agreement,
First Republic charges an annual servicing fee of 0.25% of the gross average outstanding principal balances of Mortgage Loans that First Republic services. The Company records these loan servicing fees as a reduction of interest income.

The Company pays advisory fees to First Republic under an advisory agreement pursuant to which First Republic administers the day-to-day operations of
the Company. First Republic is responsible for: (i) monitoring the credit quality of the Mortgage Assets held by the Company; (ii) advising the Company with respect to the reinvestment of income from, and principal payments on, the
Mortgage Assets, and with respect to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of the Mortgage Assets; (iii) monitoring the Companys compliance with the requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT and (iv) performing
financial reporting and internal

At June 30, 2009 and at December 26, 2008, the Bank owned 25,410 shares of the Companys Series A Preferred Shares, with a liquidation preference value of $25.4 million. For the first six months of 2009
and 2008, neither the Bank nor First Republic purchased any of the Companys outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. The Company had no dividends payable to the Bank at June 30, 2009, compared with $1,319,000 at December 26, 2008.

Dividends on the Companys preferred shares are payable if, when and as authorized by the
Companys Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors does not authorize a dividend on any series of preferred shares for any respective dividend period, holders of each series of preferred shares will not be entitled to be paid that dividend
later or to recover any unpaid dividend whether or not funds are, or subsequently become, available. The Board of Directors, in its business judgment, may determine that it would be in the best interest of the Company to pay less than the full
amount of the stated dividend on each series of preferred shares for any dividend period. However, to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (excluding deductions for any
dividends paid and any net capital gains) to stockholders, and, generally, the Company cannot pay dividends on common stock for periods in which less than full dividends are paid on each series of preferred shares.

The Company expects to pay the holders of common stock an amount of dividends that when aggregated with the dividends paid to holders of the preferred
shares is not less than 90% of the Companys REIT taxable income (excluding deductions for any dividends paid and any net capital gains) in order to remain qualified as a REIT. The Company did not declare dividends on its common
stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 or June 27, 2008.

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

##### Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each type of financial
instrument:

Cash and Interest-earning Deposit: The carrying value approximates the estimated fair value.

Mortgage Loans: The carrying value of Mortgage Loans is the gross principal, net of unaccreted purchase accounting discounts. To estimate the fair
value of Mortgage Loans, the Company segments each loan collateral type into categories based on fixed or adjustable interest rate terms (index, margin, current rate and time to next adjustment), maturity, estimated credit risk, and accrual status.

The Company based the fair value of single family and multifamily mortgages loans primarily upon prices of loans with similar terms
obtained by or quoted to the Company, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics and market conditions.

Note 9. Concentration of Credit Risk

At June 30, 2009, approximately 81% of Mortgage Loans (by carrying value) were secured by real estate properties located in
California. Future economic, political or other developments in California could adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loans. See Financial Condition - Significant Concentration of Credit Risk under Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

Sale of the Bank to Bank of America, N.A.

During the
second quarter of 2009, the Banks board of directors approved the sale of the Bank to Bank of America, N.A., a subsidiary of Bank of America.

In this transaction, Merrill Lynch & Co. will sell the shares of the Bank to Bank of America, N.A. The sale price will be equal to the net book value of the Bank as of the date of transfer, and consideration will be in the form of
floating rate demand notes payable from Bank of America, N.A. to Merrill Lynch & Co. The demand notes will be established at market rates at the time of the sale. This transaction is not expected to alter the carrying value of the
Companys assets or liabilities.

The sale of the Bank is expected to be completed on or about October 1, 2009.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

This discussion summarizes the
significant factors affecting the financial condition of First Republic Preferred Capital Corporation (the Company) as of June 30, 2009 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. This discussion
is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited interim financial statements, accompanying notes and tables included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Companys 2008 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2008 (the 2008 Annual Report).

Bank of America Acquisition

On January 1, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (Bank of America) merged with and into Merrill
Lynch & Co. Inc. (Merrill Lynch & Co.), with Merrill Lynch & Co. continuing as the surviving corporation and a subsidiary of Bank of America. As a result of the merger, among other things, all of the direct and
indirect subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch & Co., including Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB (the Bank) and the Company, have become indirect subsidiaries of Bank of America. See Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates below.

reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, competitive pressure in the
mortgage lending industry; changes in the interest rate environment that reduce margins; general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, that are less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit
quality and an increase in the provision for loan losses; changes in the regulatory environment; changes in business conditions, particularly in San Francisco and Los Angeles counties and the New York area and in the home mortgage lending industry;
and changes in the securities markets. Other risks, uncertainties and factors are discussed elsewhere in this report, in other Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( the SEC), including in Item 1A, Risk
Factors, in the 2008 Annual Report and in materials incorporated therein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operation are based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures for contingent
assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowance for loan losses, credit risks, estimated loan lives, interest rate risk, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of its assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company
considers accounting for allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy because it is a complex process involving difficult and subjective judgments, assumptions and estimates. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate that can
change under different assumptions and conditions. The Company estimates credit losses resulting from the inability of borrowers to make required payments. If the financial condition of borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of
their ability to make payments, or the value of collateral securing Mortgage Loans were to decline, an increase in the allowance may be required by charging current income. A significant decline in the credit quality of the Companys loan
portfolio could have a material adverse affect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

The acquisition of the Company on January 1, 2009 was accounted for under the acquisition method of
accounting, as required by SFAS No. 141(R). The Companys assets and liabilities were remeasured as of January 1, 2009 (the acquisition date) based on their estimated fair values. (See Note 3, Purchase Accounting
Allocation.) Purchase accounting changed the basis of the Companys assets and liabilities compared with periods prior to the change of control. Accordingly, the Companys financial statements are presented for periods prior to the
acquisition (the Predecessor Company) and subsequent to the acquisition (the Successor Company). The Predecessor Company and Successor Company periods have been separated by a vertical line on the face of the financial
statements to distinguish between the Companys historical basis of accounting prior to the change of control and after the change of control. Tables in the footnotes to the financial statements and in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented without the Predecessor Company and Successor Company distinction. As a result of the change in control, the Company changed its fiscal quarter end from the last Friday of
the third month in the quarter to the last calendar day of the quarter. In addition, the Companys activities after its 2008 fiscal year end through December 31, 2008 are included in the Statement of Income for the first six months of
2009. The impact of this change and the additional activity recorded in the first six months of 2009 resulted in approximately $156,000 of additional net income. There were no changes in the Companys Board of Directors, material agreements or
outstanding issues of preferred stock.

Results of Operations

Overview

Net income was $3,373,000 and $7,342,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared with
$4,048,000 and $8,623,000 for the same periods in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income resulting from lower average loan balances. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.33x and 1.43x for the second quarter and
first six months of 2009, and 1.61x and 1.70x for the same periods in 2008; the decrease in 2009 is due to lower interest income. Preferred stock dividend payments were 100% of fixed charges.

Total Interest Income

Total interest income
decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008 primarily due to lower average loan balances and lower loan yields. The following table presents the average balances and yields on the
Companys interest-earning assets for the periods indicated:

Interest income on Mortgage Loans decreased $741,000, or 20%, in the second quarter of 2009 and
$1,507,000, or 18%, for the first six months of 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008 primarily due to lower average balances as cash has been accumulated in anticipation of the possible redemption of the outstanding issues of Preferred
Shares. The average yield on loans was 6.06% and 6.37% for the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared with 6.31% and 6.57% for the same periods in 2008. The weighted average net coupon rate on Mortgage Loans was 4.11% at June 30,
2009, 4.91% at December 26, 2008 and 5.38% at June 27, 2008. The average yield on loans and the average net coupon rate have declined in 2009 due to lower market rates of interest. See Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risks.

##### Table of Contents

Included in interest income on Mortgage Loans is a reduction for loan servicing fees that First Republic
retains. The annual servicing fee is 25 basis points on the gross average outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans that First Republic services. Loan servicing fees were $133,000 and $269,000 for the second quarter and first six months of
2009 and $152,000 and $314,000 for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in loan servicing fees was consistent with the decrease in the average loan balances. Interest income on Mortgage Loans includes discount accretion related to the valuation of
loans for purchase accounting, which partially offset the decrease in the average yield on loans. Net discount accretion was $701,000 and $1,402,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared with $273,000 and $685,000 for the
same periods in 2008. The total net unaccreted purchase accounting discount was $10.9 million at June 30, 2009 and $8.9 million at June 27, 2008.

Interest income on short-term investments increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008, primarily due to higher average investment balances, partially offset by
lower rates. The average yields on short-term investments for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 decreased to 1.79% and 1.90% respectively, compared with 2.49% and 2.82% for the same periods in 2008. The average yield on short-term
investments has declined in 2009 due to lower market rates of interest.

Operating Expense

The Company incurs advisory fee expenses payable to First Republic pursuant to an advisory agreement with First Republic for services that First Republic
renders on the Companys behalf. Advisory fees were $100,000 per annum for 2009 and 2008, or $25,000 per quarter.

General and
administrative expenses were $49,000 and $97,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2009, compared with $49,000 and $111,000 for the same periods in 2008. These expenses consisted primarily of audit fees, directors fees, regulatory
costs and other stockholder costs.

Financial Condition

Cash Equivalents on Deposit with First Republic

At June 30, 2009 and December 26, 2008, cash equivalents
consisted entirely of a money market account held at First Republic.

Mortgage Loans

The loan portfolio at June 30, 2009 and December 26, 2008 consisted of both single family and multifamily mortgage loans acquired from First
Republic. The Company anticipates that in the future it will continue to acquire all of its loans from First Republic.

The Company has
purchased from First Republic single family loans with a period of interest only payments. Underwriting standards for all such loans have required a high level of borrower net worth, substantial post-loan liquidity, excellent FICO scores and
significant down payments. At June 30, 2009, approximately $110.9 million of loans, or 60% of the Companys single family loan portfolio, allowed interest only payments for varying periods. These interest only loans had an average
loan-to-value (LTV) ratio at June 30, 2009 of approximately 56%, based on appraised value at the time of origination. None of the Companys interest only home loans had an LTV ratio at origination of more than 80%.

Nonaccrual Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

A
loan is placed on nonaccrual status when any installment of principal or interest is over 90 days past due, except for any single family loan that is well secured and in the process of collection or when the Company determines that the ultimate
collection of all contractually due principal or interest is unlikely. The Company classifies a loan as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan purchase and servicing agreement.

##### Table of Contents

At June 30, 2009, there was one single family loan of $659,000 that was contractually past due more
than 90 days and on accrual status. At June 30, 2009 and December 26, 2008, there were no nonaccrual loans, impaired loans or loans that were troubled debt restructurings. The following table presents information with respect to the
Companys allowance for loan losses:

The Companys allowance for loan losses became part of the loan carrying value due to
purchase accounting adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2009. AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3) requires impaired
loans acquired in a business combination to be recorded at fair value and prohibits the carryover of the allowance for loan losses. The net purchase accounting discount recorded in the first quarter was determined by discounting cash flows expected
to be collected using an observable discount rate for similar instruments. Subsequent decreases to expected principal cash flows will result in a charge to provision for loan losses. None of the Companys loans were considered impaired under
SOP 03-3 and no additional provision for loan losses was required as of June 30, 2009.

##### Table of Contents

As shown in the table above, the Mortgage Loans at June 30, 2009 were originated prior to 2006. The
FICO score ratios are weighted averages as of the date of origination and the LTV ratios are based upon the current loan balance and the original appraisal amount.

Significant Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk generally arises with respect to the loan portfolio
when a number of borrowers engage in similar business activities or activities in the same geographical region. Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of the Companys performance to both positive and negative
developments affecting a particular industry. The balance sheet exposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit risk of the Companys Mortgage Loans. The Companys Mortgage Loans are concentrated in California, and
adverse conditions there could adversely affect the Companys operations. The following table presents an analysis of Mortgage Loans (by carrying value) at June 30, 2009 by major geographic location:

At June 30, 2009, approximately 81% of Mortgage Loans were secured by properties located in
California. The weighted average loan to value ratio on Mortgage Loans was approximately 54%, based upon the appraised values of the properties at the time the loans were originated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys principal liquidity needs are to pay dividends
and to fund the acquisition of additional Mortgage Assets as borrowers repay Mortgage Loans and, from time to time, redeem preferred stock. The Company intends to fund the acquisition of any additional Mortgage Loans from available cash or proceeds
from principal repayments on Mortgage Loans. Proceeds from interest payments will be reinvested until used for the payment of operating expenses and dividends. The Company does not anticipate that it will have any other material capital
expenditures. The cash generated from interest and principal payments on Mortgage Assets is expected to provide sufficient funds for operating requirements and dividend payments in accordance with the requirements to be taxed as a REIT for the
foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company services fixed-rate
dividend obligations to preferred stockholders and operating expenses by the collection of interest income from Mortgage Loans and short-term investments. To meet dividend payments, the Company maintains an average interest-earning asset balance of
approximately two times the liquidation preference of its outstanding preferred shares. The Companys earnings to fixed charges ratio was 1.33x for the second quarter of 2009, compared with 1.61x for the second quarter of 2008 and 1.57x for the
year 2008.

Since September 2007, interest rates have generally fallen. The yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 88 basis
points to 4.73% for the second quarter of 2009, compared with 5.61% for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in yield was primarily due to declining interest rates, partially offset by discount accretion on loans and an increase in
lower-yielding short-term investments. The yield on loans decreased 25 basis points in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. However, excluding the net discount accretion, the yield would have decreased approximately 122
basis points. The loan portfolio mix by interest rate type at June 30, 2009 was similar to that at June 27, 2008. Adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans were 80% of Mortgage Loans at June 30, 2009 and 76% at June 27,
2008. The weighted average net coupon rate for ARMs at June 30, 2009 decreased 159 basis points from a year ago, compared with a 11 basis point increase in the weighted average net coupon rate for intermediate fixed rate loans and 1 basis point
increase for fixed rate loans. The weighted average remaining maturity of Mortgage Loans was 20.8 years at June 30, 2009 and 21.8 years at June 27, 2008.

timing of changes in the index and the frequency of adjustments to the loan rate. The weighted average coupon rate for ARMs was 3.73% at June 30, 2009, compared with 5.32% at June 27, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in short-term rates.
The decrease in ARM loan yields was mitigated by a significant volume of ARM loans indexed to Monthly Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index (COFI). COFI is a lagging index that tends to respond more slowly to changes in the general
interest rate environment than a market rate index. At June 30, 2009, ARM loans indexed to COFI were 82% of total ARMs and 65% of Mortgage Loans, compared with 83% of total ARMs and 63% of Mortgage Loans at June 27, 2008.

For intermediate fixed and fixed rate loans, the balance outstanding at June 30, 2009 was $40.6 million, or 20% of total Mortgage Loans, compared
with $57.1 million at June 27, 2008, or 24% of total Mortgage Loans. The weighted average coupon rate for intermediate fixed rate loans was 5.54% at June 30, 2009, up slightly from 5.43% at June 27, 2008. The weighted average coupon
rate for fixed rate loans was 5.68% at June 30, 2009 and 5.67% at June 27, 2008.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by SEC rules, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Companys management, including the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
supervised and participated in the evaluation. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2009, were effective for
providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
