FIRST REPUBLIC PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Bank of America, N.A.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

First Republic Preferred Capital Corporation, a Nevada corporation, was formed in April 1999. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of
BANA, a national bank and an indirect subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (Bank of America). The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of MLFSB, a federal stock savings bank, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill
Lynch & Co. from September 21, 2007 until November 2, 2009. On January 1, 2009, Merrill Lynch & Co. was acquired by Bank of America, with Merrill Lynch & Co. continuing as the surviving corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America, and all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch & Co., including MLFSB and the Company, became indirect subsidiaries of Bank of America (the Bank of America
Acquisition). On November 2, 2009, Bank of America completed an internal corporate restructuring of certain subsidiaries, including MLFSB, pursuant to which MLFSB was merged with and into BANA, with BANA continuing as the surviving
entity. As a result of the merger, BANA replaced MLFSB as the direct parent and holder of 100% of the common stock of the Company. This transaction did not alter the carrying value of the Companys assets or liabilities. Except for the changes
discussed in Note 6, Preferred Stock, there were no other changes in the Companys Board of Directors, material agreements or outstanding issues of preferred stock.

The Company was initially formed by First Republic for the purpose of raising capital. First Republic owned 100% of the Companys
outstanding shares until September 21, 2007, when Merrill Lynch & Co. acquired all of the outstanding shares of First Republics common stock. First Republic became a division of MLFSB, and MLFSB became the controlling stockholder
of the Company. Following the Bank of America Acquisition, the Companys assets and liabilities were remeasured as of January 1, 2009 (the Bank of America acquisition date) based on their estimated fair values in accordance
with the acquisition method of accounting. (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. As a result
of the change in control, the Company changed its fiscal year end from the last Friday in December to the last calendar day of the year; the Companys activities after its 2008 fiscal year end through December 31, 2008 are included in the
Statement of Income for 2009. This change caused five additional days of activity to be recorded in the first quarter of 2009, resulting in approximately $156,000 of additional net income.

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.

At March 31, 2010, the
Company has issued 30,538,277 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. BANA owns all of the Companys common stock. 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009 (the 2009 Annual Report), Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The results of operations of the Company 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 11, 2010.

Recent Development

On October 21, 2009, Bank of America announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell First Republic and its
operating subsidiaries, including the Company, to a number of investors led by First Republics existing management and including investment funds managed by Colony Capital, LLC and General Atlantic LLC. The transaction is expected to close in
the second quarter of 2010, subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will become a subsidiary of a newly formed California-chartered bank called First Republic Bank, since the newly formed bank
will assume ownership of 100% of the Companys outstanding common stock currently owned by BANA. The newly formed bank will also acquire the 25,410 shares of Series A Preferred Stock currently owned by BANA. Except for these changes, no other
changes in the Companys Board of Directors, material agreements or outstanding issues of preferred stock are expected as a result of this proposed transaction.

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 (GAAP) 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, which has
approximated the fair value of the loans at the date of purchase. Mortgage Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of purchase discounts and premiums. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, Mortgage Loans were
revalued to reflect their estimated fair values as of the Bank of America acquisition date. (See Note 3, Purchase Accounting Allocation). Discounts or premiums on Mortgage Loans are accreted or amortized to interest income as yield
adjustments using methods that approximate the interest method.

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. Subsequent to the Bank of America acquisition date, decreases in expected principal cash
flows resulting from deteriorations in credit which exceed the unaccreted purchase accounting discount would result in the Company recording a provision for loan losses. There was no provision for loan losses recorded during the first quarter of
2010 or 2009. (See Note 4, Loans).

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired through foreclosure is recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell such real estate. After foreclosure,
other real estate owned is carried at the lower of 1) fair value less estimated costs to sell or 2) the cost of 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 an interest-earning deposit with First Republic and other cash
on deposit with First Republic and BANA. As a REIT making sufficient dividend distributions, the Company paid no income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

Note 3. Purchase Accounting Allocation

Management estimated the fair value of assets and liabilities as of the Bank of America 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 Bank of America 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 net reduction to the carrying value of Mortgage Loans was accounted for as a loan purchase discount, which is accreted into interest
income using methods that approximate the interest method beginning in the first quarter of 2009. The purchase accounting adjustments did not impact cash flows.

The
Companys Mortgage Loans are secured by single family and multifamily real estate properties located primarily in California. The Mortgage Loans generally mature over periods of up to thirty years. The following table presents the gross
principal, net unaccreted purchase accounting discount, unamortized premium on Mortgage Loans acquired from First Republic and carrying value of the Mortgage Loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

The Companys
allowance for loan losses became part of the loan carrying value due to purchase accounting adjustments recorded in 2009. (See Note 3, Purchase Accounting Allocation). ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with
Deteriorated Credit Quality (ASC 310-30) 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 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 ASC 310-30 at January 1, 2009. In addition, no additional provision for loan losses was required as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 or March 31, 2009.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

The Companys related party transactions include the acquisition of Mortgage Loans from First Republic, the sale of Mortgage Loans to
First Republic, loan servicing fees paid to First Republic and advisory fees paid to First Republic. During 2009, the Company received $100,000 in funding from BANA for settlement of accounts payable transactions. The cash and cash equivalents with
BANA and the payable to BANA at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 result from this funding. The following tables present the Companys related party transactions for the periods indicated:

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, which approximated the fair value of the loans. The Company did not purchase any loans from First Republic for the
first three months of 2010 and 2009.

As part of the definitive agreement to sell First Republic, BANA will retain certain
loans from a list of loans designated by First Republics management dated as of October 21, 2009. As part of the transaction, during the first quarter of 2010, the loans that will be retained by BANA were sold to First Republic. First
Republic will subsequently transfer these loans to BANA. The loans were sold to First Republic at carrying value, which approximated the fair value of the loans.

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 control duties required for all public companies. The advisory agreement is renewable on an annual basis. The advisory fees
were $100,000 per annum for 2010 and 2009, payable in equal quarterly installments. The Company had advisory fees payable to First Republic of $25,000 at March 31, 2010 and at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, in addition to
advisory fees, the Company had $35,000 payable to First Republic for stockholder costs First Republic had paid on the Companys behalf.

At March 31, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, BANA owned 25,410 shares of the Companys Series A Preferred Stock, with a
liquidation preference value of $25.4 million; these shares were purchased by First Republic prior to December 31, 2006. For the first three months of 2010 and 2009, neither BANA nor MLFSB purchased any of the Companys outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock.

In June 1999, the Company issued 55,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. The Companys proceeds from this issuance were $55 million; First Republic paid all expenses of the offering, including underwriting commissions and discounts. The Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemable at the
option of the Company at any time since June 1, 2009. The Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable at a cash redemption price equal to the liquidation preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption premium per share is equal to
(i) $1,035 if the date of redemption is after June 1, 2009 but on or prior to June 1, 2010; (ii) $1,028 if the date of redemption is after June 1, 2010 but on or prior to June 1, 2011; (iii) $1,021 if the date of
redemption is after June 1, 2011 but on or prior to June 1, 2012; (iv) $1,014 if the date of redemption is after June 1, 2012 but on or prior to June 1, 2013; and (v) $1,007 if the date of redemption is after
June 1, 2013 but on or prior to June 1, 2014. No redemption premium shall be payable if the date of redemption is after June 1, 2014. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if authorized and declared by the
Board of Directors of the Company, noncumulative dividends at a rate of 10.5% per annum or $105 per annum per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, if authorized and declared, are payable semiannually in arrears on June 30 and
December 30 of each year.

In June 2003, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The
Companys proceeds from this issuance were $60 million; First Republic paid all expenses of the offering, including underwriting commissions and discounts. The Series D Preferred Stock have been redeemable at the option of the Company at any
time since June 27, 2008 at the redemption price of $25 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if authorized and declared by the Board of Directors of the Company,
noncumulative dividends at a rate of 7.25% per annum, or $1.8125 per annum per share. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock, if authorized and declared, are payable quarterly in arrears on
March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30 of each year.

Upon the occurrence of an
adverse change in relevant tax laws, the Company will have the right to redeem its preferred stock, in whole (but not in part). The liquidation preference for the Series A Preferred Stock is $1,000 per share plus the semiannual dividend thereon
accrued through the date of redemption for the dividend period in which the redemption occurs. The liquidation preference for the Series D Preferred Stock is $25 per share plus the quarterly dividend thereon accrued through the date of redemption
for the dividend period in which the redemption occurs.

Since BANA does not have any authorized classes of preferred stock,
the automatic exchange feature of the Companys Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock is suspended. Except under certain limited circumstances, the holders of the Companys preferred stock have no voting rights.

Note 7. Common Stock

At
March 31, 2010, the Company was authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, of which 30,538,277 shares were outstanding and owned by BANA. The Company issued no common stock in the first three
months of 2010 and 2009.

The holder of common stock is entitled to receive dividends if and when authorized and declared by
the Board of Directors out of funds legally available after all preferred dividends have been paid for the full year.

Dividends on the Companys preferred stock 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 stock for any respective dividend period, holders of each series of preferred stock 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 stock for any dividend period. However, to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable
income (which excludes accretion of loan discounts and is calculated after the deduction for dividends paid on preferred stock) 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 stock.

From a stockholders perspective, the dividends the Company
pays as a REIT are ordinary income not eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate stockholders or for the favorable maximum 15% rate applicable to qualified dividends received by non-corporate taxpayers. If the Company was not a
REIT, dividends paid generally would qualify for the dividends received deduction and the favorable tax rate applicable to non-corporate taxpayers.

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 stock is not less than 90% of the Companys REIT taxable income in order to remain qualified as a REIT. The Company did not declare dividends on its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Disclosure is required on an interim and annual basis of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The fair values of such
instruments have been derived, in part, by managements assumptions, the estimated amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimated fair values. Accordingly,
the net realizable values could be materially different from the estimates presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of the value of individual financial instruments and should not be considered an indication of the fair value
of the Company.

The following table presents the carrying values and fair values of the Companys financial instruments
as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:



|                          |  |               |         |                   |   |               |  |           |         |  |   |

##### Table of Contents

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents: 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. Fair
values were generally determined by discounting both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected using an observable discount rate for similar instruments with adjustments that management believes a market participant would consider
in determining fair value. The Company estimates the cash flows expected to be collected using internal credit risk, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate managements best estimate of current key marketplace assumptions,
such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds for the life of the loan.

Note 10. Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 2010, approximately 77% 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 11. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated the effects of subsequent events that have occurred subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and through
the date of filing with the SEC. The Company determined that there were no subsequent events that have occurred through this date.

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 the Company as of March 31,
2010 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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 2009 Annual Report.

For the tax year ending
December 31, 2010, the Company expects to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a REIT), and intends to comply with the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as a REIT. These provisions for qualifying as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes are complex, involving many requirements, including among others, distributing the majority of the Companys earnings to stockholders and satisfying certain asset, income and stock ownership tests. To the
extent the Company meets those provisions, it will not be subject to federal income tax on net income. The Company currently believes that it continues to satisfy each of these requirements and therefore continues to qualify as a REIT. The Company
continues to monitor each of these complex tests.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These statements reflect managements current views and assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:



| |  |  | business strategy;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | estimates regarding capital requirements and the need for additional financing; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forward-looking statements often include words such as may, would,
should, could, expect, anticipate, believe, estimate, plan, target, project, predict, intend, potential,
continue, or similar expressions. In addition, other statements may also be forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future
results of operation or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. There may be events in the future, however, that cannot be accurately predicted or controlled and that may cause actual results to differ materially from the
expectations described in the forward-looking statements. The 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 2009 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.

The Company also considers purchase accounting to be a critical accounting policy. The Companys assets and liabilities
were remeasured as of the Bank of America acquisition date based on their estimated fair values in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. (See Note 3, Purchase Accounting Allocation, of the Notes to Financial Statements.)
Purchase accounting changed the basis of the Companys assets and liabilities compared with periods prior to the change of control.

Results of Operations

Overview

Net income was $3,589,000 for the first quarter of 2010, compared with $3,969,000 for the first quarter of 2009. The decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in interest income resulting from lower average short-term investment balances and lower market rates of interest. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the first quarter was 1.42x in 2010 and 1.53x in 2009.
Preferred stock dividend payments were 100% of fixed charges.

##### Table of Contents

Total Interest Income

Total interest income decreased in the first quarter of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 primarily due to lower yields on
interest-earning assets and lower average short-term investments, partially offset by higher average loan balances. 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 in 2010, compared with 2009, primarily due to lower
yields, partially offset by higher average balances.

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 $174,000 in the first quarter of
2010, compared with $136,000 in the same period in 2009. The increase in loan servicing fees was consistent with the increase 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 decreases in the average yield on loans. The average yield on loans, including accretion of loan discounts, was 5.53% in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 6.66% in the same period in 2009. Net discount accretion was $835,000 and
$701,000 in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total net unaccreted purchase accounting discount was $7.7 million at March 31, 2010, compared with $8.7 million at December 31, 2009 and $11.6 million at March 31,
2009.

The weighted average coupon rate on Mortgage Loans was 4.13% at March 31, 2010, compared to 3.92% at
December 31, 2009 and 4.80% at March 31, 2009. The decline in the weighted average coupon rate at March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2009 is primarily due to a decrease in interest rates on adjustable rate mortgage
(ARM) loans indexed to the Monthly Eleventh District Cost of Funds Index (COFI). In addition, there was a decrease in the weighted average coupon rate on intermediate fixed rate loans at March 31, 2010 compared to
March 31, 2009 as a result of the loans purchased at the end of 2009. Refer to Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, for further discussion.

Interest income on short-term investments decreased in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the same period in 2009, primarily due to
lower average investment balances and lower rates. The average yield on short-term investments decreased to 0.99% in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 2.03% for the same period in 2009.

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 2010 and 2009, or
$25,000 per quarter.

General and administrative expenses were $43,000 for the first quarter of 2010 and $48,000 for the same
period in 2009. These expenses consisted primarily of audit fees, directors fees, regulatory costs and other stockholder costs.

##### Table of Contents

Financial Condition

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of a money market account held at First
Republic.

Mortgage Loans

The loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2010, approximately $174.5 million of loans, or 72% 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 March 31, 2010 of approximately 57%, 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%.

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. Refer to Note 4, Loans, of the Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of the Companys nonaccrual loans and allowance for loan losses.

Vintage Analysis

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 March 31, 2010 by major geographic location:

At March 31, 2010, approximately 77% of Mortgage Loans were secured by properties located in
California. The weighted average LTV ratio on Mortgage Loans was approximately 55%, 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 additional Mortgage Loans with the proceeds from principal payments 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 Management

The Company services fixed-rate dividend obligations to preferred stockholders and operating expenses by the collection of interest income
from Mortgage Loans. To meet dividend payments, the Company has historically maintained an average interest-earning asset balance of approximately two times the liquidation preference of its outstanding preferred stock. The Companys earnings
to fixed charges ratio was 1.42x for the first quarter of 2010, compared with 1.53x for the first quarter of 2009 and 1.36x for the year 2009.

Since September 2007, interest rates have generally fallen. The yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 37 basis points to 4.99%
for the first quarter of 2010, compared with 5.36% for the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in yield was primarily due to declining interest rates, partially offset by discount accretion on loans and a decrease in lower-yielding short-term
investments. The yield on loans decreased 113 basis points in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. However, excluding net discount accretion, the yield would have decreased approximately 99 basis points. The loan portfolio
mix by interest rate type at March 31, 2010 was less adjustable compared with March 31, 2009 due to loans purchased in the fourth quarter of 2009. ARM loans were 57% of Mortgage Loans at March 31, 2010 and 76% at March 31, 2009.
The weighted average coupon rate for ARMs at March 31, 2010 decreased 90 basis points from a year ago, compared with a 91 basis point decrease in the weighted average coupon rate for intermediate fixed rate loans and a 5 basis point increase
for fixed rate loans. The weighted average remaining maturity of Mortgage Loans was 22.8 years at March 31, 2010 and 21.0 years at March 31, 2009.

For ARMs, the timing of changes in the average yield depends on the underlying interest rate
index, the timing of changes in the index and the frequency of adjustments to the loan rate. The weighted average coupon rate for ARMs was 3.66% at March 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 90 basis points from 4.56% at March 31, 2009
primarily due to a decrease in short-term rates. The decrease in ARM loan yields is primarily due to a significant portion of ARM loans indexed to 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. The COFI index at March 31, 2010 has declined compared to March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, ARM loans indexed to COFI were 82% of total ARMs, or 46% of Mortgage Loans, compared with 83% of
total ARMs, or 63% of Mortgage Loans at March 31, 2009.

For intermediate fixed and fixed rate loans, the balance at
March 31, 2010 was $110.4 million, or 43% of total Mortgage Loans, compared with $49.4 million at March 31, 2009, or 24% of total Mortgage Loans. The weighted average coupon rate for intermediate fixed rate loans was 4.52% at
March 31, 2010, down from 5.43% at March 31, 2009. The decline in the intermediate fixed rate yield was due to the purchase of loans late in 2009 that had coupon rates lower than the existing portfolio. The weighted average coupon rate for
fixed rate loans was 5.71% at March 31, 2010, up slightly from 5.66% at March 31, 2009.

Item 4. 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 March 31, 2010,
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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not currently involved in nor, to its knowledge, currently threatened with any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are risks, many beyond the Companys control, which could cause the Companys results to differ significantly from
managements expectations. Some of these factors are described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Any factor described in the Companys 2009 Form 10-K or in this report
could, by itself or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations and/or financial condition. There may be other factors not described in the Companys 2009 Form 10-K or in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that could cause results to differ from the Companys expectations.
