the Company's financial condition as of September 30, 2001 and the results of
operations and changes in its cash flows for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000.

         The results of operations for the three and nine months periods ended
September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2001. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
accounting standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. Upon the adoption of this Statement, the Company recognized
a gain of approximately $1.9 million as other comprehensive income in
stockholders' equity related to derivative instruments that were designated as
cash flow hedges, and a loss of approximately $529,000 in the income statement
related to derivative instruments that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lives Assets, which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No.
144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental
provisions of that statement. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for
the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in
Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends that
reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of by sale,
abandonment, or in a distribution to owners or is classified as held for sale.
This Statements is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Management has determined the impact of this Statement will not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial position or the future results of
operations of the Company.

         In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that
the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria
intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet
to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 will require
that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will also require that intangible
assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated
useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Asset
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of or SFAS No. 144 upon adoption.

         The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141
immediately and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life
that are acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30,
2001 will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed
before July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 142.

         Upon adoption on January 1, 2002, the Company expects to recognize a
gain as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to
negative goodwill currently existing from an acquisition in prior years of one
of the Company's subsidiaries accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, however, the amounts involved are not material. The Company expects
to have unamortized goodwill in the amount of $4.6 million, which will be
subject to the transition provisions of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142. Amortization
expense related to goodwill (including that related to negative goodwill) was
$352,000 and $447,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and for the
year ended December 31, 2000, respectively. Because of the extensive effort
needed to comply with adopting Statement Nos. 141 and 142, it is not practicable
to reasonably estimate the impact, after initial adoption, of these
pronouncements on the Company's financial statements at the date of this report,
including whether any transitional impairment losses will be required to be
recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
subsequent to January 1, 2002.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per common share for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are computed by dividing net income for such
periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during such periods. The weighted average of outstanding stock options granted
in connection with the Company's Stock Option Plan are included in the weighted
average number of shares for purposes of the diluted earnings per share
computation (744,409 and 651,348 during the three month periods ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 728,045 and 654,017 during the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively). No other adjustments
were made to the computation of basic earnings per share to arrive at diluted
earnings per share.

Dividends per share on common stock declared and paid by the Company were as
follows:

---------------

(1)      The increase in the ratio was mainly caused by loan securitizations
         during the last two quarters of 2000 and the first three quarters of
         2001, which reduced the amount of loans held in portfolio which are
         considered in the calculation of the ratio. Without giving effect to
         loan securitizations, as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
         the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans would have been 4.87%
         and 4.46%, respectively.

(2)      Because of the nature of the collateral, R&G Financial's historical
         charge-offs with respect to residential real estate loans have been
         low. Excluding R&G Financial's residential loan portfolio, the
         allowance for loan losses to total loans and to total non-performing
         loans at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 would have been 1.89%
         and 71.0%, respectively, and 1.61% and 73.7%, respectively.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


COMMITMENTS TO BUY AND SELL GNMA CERTIFICATES

         As of September 30, 2001, the Company had open commitments to issue
GNMA certificates of approximately $21.0 million.

COMMITMENTS TO SELL MORTGAGE LOANS

         As of September 30, 2001 the Company had commitments to sell mortgage
loans to third party investors amounting to approximately $181.2 million.

LEASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company is obligated under several noncancellable leases for office
space and equipment rentals, all of which are accounted for as operating leases.
The leases expire at various dates with options for renewals.

OTHER

         At September 30, 2001, the Company is liable under limited recourse
provisions resulting from the sale of loans to several investors, principally
FHLMC. The principal balance of these loans, which are serviced by the Company,
amounts to approximately $581.0 million at September 30, 2001. Liability, if
any, under the recourse provisions at September 30, 2001 is estimated by
management to be insignificant.

NOTE 8 - SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION

         Employee costs and other administrative and general expenses are shown
in the Consolidated Statements of Income net of direct loan origination costs.
Direct loan origination costs are capitalized as part of the carrying cost of
mortgage loans and are offset against mortgage loan sales and fees when the

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

         R&G Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a diversified financial
holding company that, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in
mortgage banking, banking, broker-dealer and insurance activities. Its mortgage
banking activities include the origination, purchase, sale and servicing of
mortgage loans on single-family residences, the issuance and sale of various
types of mortgage-backed securities, the holding of mortgage loans,
mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities for sale or
investment, and the purchase and sale of servicing rights associated with such
mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, the origination of construction loans
and mortgage loans secured by income producing real estate and land (the
"mortgage banking business").

         The Company is also engaged in providing a full range of banking
services, including commercial banking services, corporate and construction
lending, consumer lending and credit cards, offering a diversified range of
deposit products and, to a lesser extent, trust and investment services through
its private banking department.

         R&G Financial is currently in its 29th year of operations. The Company
is the second largest mortgage loans originator and servicer of mortgage loans
on single family residences in Puerto Rico. R&G Financial's mortgage servicing
portfolio increased to approximately $7.1 billion as of September 30, 2001, from
$6.5 billion as of the same date a year ago, an increase of 8.8%. R&G
Financial's strategy is to increase the size of its mortgage servicing portfolio
by relying principally on internal loan originations. R&G Financial is
experiencing strong growth in originations due to a strong housing market in
Puerto Rico and continued branch expansion, together with low interest rates and
state-of-the art technology.

         As part of its strategy to maximize net interest income, R&G Financial
maintains a loans portfolio of $1.7 billion, which consisted principally of
residential real estate loans backed by a very strong housing market, and a
substantial portfolio of mortgage-backed and investment securities. At September
30, 2001, the Company held securities available for sale with a fair market
value of $1.9 billion, which included $1.4 billion of mortgage-backed securities
of which $534.8 million consisted primarily of Puerto Rico GNMA securities, the
interest on which is tax-exempt to the Company. These securities are generally
held by the Company for longer periods prior to sale in order to maximize the
tax-exempt interest received thereon.

         A substantial portion of R&G Financial's total mortgage loan
originations has consistently been comprised of refinance loans. R&G Financial's
future results could be adversely affected by a significant increase in mortgage
interest rates that reduces refinancing activity. However, the Company believes
that refinancing activity is less sensitive to interest rate changes in Puerto
Rico than in the mainland United States because a significant amount of
refinance loans are made for debt consolidation purposes.

         R&G Financial customarily sells or securitizes into mortgage-backed
securities substantially all the loans it originates, except for certain
non-conforming conventional mortgage loans and certain consumer, construction,
land, and commercial loans which are held for investment and classified as loans
receivable. At September 30, 2001 R&G Financial maintained a very low credit
risk profile, as its loans receivable portfolio consisted principally of $1.1
billion in residential real estate.

         At September 30, 2001 R&G Financial operated 25 banking and 34 mortgage
banking branches in Puerto Rico and four mortgage offices in the US, with about
1,500 professionals.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         At September 30, 2001, total assets amounted to $4.3 billion, as
compared to $3.5 billion at December 31, 2000. The $758.6 million or 21.4%
increase in total assets was primarily the result of a $352.4 million or 23.2%
increase in mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale, a
$101.3 million or 841.8% increase in mortgage-backed securities held for
trading, a $43.1 million or 183.4% increase in mortgage-backed and investment



                                       17
<PAGE>
securities held to maturity, a $143.1 million or 149.6% increase in mortgage
loans held for sale and a $91.4 million or 5.6% increase in loans receivable,
net.

         At September 30, 2001, deposits totaled $1.9 billion, an increase of
$198.6 million or 11.9% when compared to December 31, 2000. In addition, at
September 30, 2001, R&G Financial had $1.9 billion of borrowings (consisting of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, notes payable, FHLB advances and
other borrowings), as compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2000. R&G
Financial mainly utilized deposits (primarily retail certificates of deposits)
and repurchase agreements to fund its growth in assets during the period.

         At September 30, 2001, R&G Financial's allowance for loan losses
totaled $15.2 million, which represented a $3.6 million or 30.8% increase from
the level maintained at December 31, 2000. At September 30, 2001, R&G
Financial's allowance represented approximately 0.83% of the total loan
portfolio and 12.41% of total non-performing loans. However, excluding R&G
Financial's residential loan portfolio, which has minimal charge-off experience,
the allowance for loan losses to total loans and to total non-performing loans
would have been 1.89% and 71.0%, respectively, at September 30, 2001. The
increase in the allowance for loan losses reflects the increase in R&G
Financial's commercial real estate and construction loan portfolio as well as
the increase in R&G Financial non-performing loans during the year.

         Non-performing loans amounted to $122.2 million at September 30, 2001,
an increase of $62.9 million when compared to $59.4 million at December 31,
1999. However, $60.2 million or 96% of such increase consisted of residential
mortgage loans, which resulted to a large extent from increased delays over the
period in the foreclosure process in Puerto Rico. As noted above, because of the
nature of the real estate collateral, R&G Financial has historically recognized
a low level of loan charge-offs. R&G Financial's aggregate charge-offs amounted
to 0.33% during the first three quarters of 2001, 0.17% during 2000 and 0.25%
during 1999. Although loan delinquencies have historically been higher in Puerto
Rico than in the United States, actual foreclosures and any resulting loan
charge-offs have historically been lower than in the United States. While the
ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased from 5.52% at December
31, 2000 to 6.68% at September 30, 2001, the increase in the ratio was made
larger than it would otherwise have been due to significant loan securitizations
during the last two quarters of 2000 and the first three quarters of 2001, which
reduced the amount of loans considered in the calculation of the ratio. Without
giving effect to loan securitizations, as of September 30, 2001 and December 31,
2000, the ratio of non-performing loans would have been 4.87% and 4.46%,
respectively.

         Stockholders' equity increased from $308.8 million at December 31, 2000
to $453.5 million at September 30, 2001. The $144.7 million or 46.8% increase
was due primarily to the issuance of 2,207,500 shares of Class B common stock in
late June and early July 2001 for aggregate net proceeds of $31.1 million, the
issuance of 2,760,000 shares of the Company's 7.60% Monthly Income Preferred
Stock, Series C, in March 2001 for aggregate net proceeds of $66.6 million and
the net income recognized, together with a $13.6 million increase in other
comprehensive income during the period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, R&G
Financial reported net income before the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $17.4 million and $46.2 million, or $0.46 and $1.29 of
earnings per diluted share, respectively, compared to $11.4 million and $31.6
million or $0.34 and $0.93 of earnings per diluted share for the respective
comparative periods in 2000.

         Net interest income increased by $18.1 million or 36.7% during the nine
month period ended September 30, 2001 to $67.5 million, primarily due to an
increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, together with a 25
basis point increase in the net interest margin from 2.24% to 2.49%. With
interest rates currently declining, R&G Financial expects a gradual improvement
in its net interest margin, as evidenced by the improvement in its margin during
the three month period ended September 30, 2001 as discussed below. The
provision for loan losses amounted to $7.3 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, a 68.4% increase over the prior comparable period, as R&G
Financial increased it general reserves reflecting the continued growth in
commercial lending, which involves greater credit risk than residential lending.

         R&G Financial also experienced an increase in non-interest income
during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 over the prior comparable
period. Net gain on sale of loans increased significantly, by $16.1 million or
57.0% over the prior comparable period, which was due both to the volume of
loans originated and sold as well as increased profits made on loans sold. Loan
administration and servicing fees also increased by $2.3 million or 10.2% over
the comparable periods, due to the growth in the loan servicing portfolio, while
other miscellaneous revenue sources increased $3.8 million or 72.7%, primarily
as a result of the Company's fee-based insurance operations which began in late
2000.

         Net interest income increased by $12.0 million or 75.7% to $27.9
million during the quarter ended September 30, 2001, due to an increase in the
average balance of interest-earning assets, together with a 82 basis points
increase in the net interest margin from 2.04% to 2.86%. Net gain on sale of
loans increased 51.8% to $17.3 million during the three month ended September
30, 2001.

         Total expenses increased by $16.9 million or 28.0% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 over the prior comparable period, primarily due
to a $10.7 million or 35.1% increase in other administrative and general
expenses, primarily due to increased amortization of the Company's servicing
asset and increased advertising expenses, to increase loan production. Employee
compensation and benefits increased by $3.9 million or 19.5% associated with
employees hired to accommodate increased loan production. These increases were
accompanied by a $2.3 million or 23.5% increase in occupancy expenses.

         Total expenses increased by $9.6 million or 47.1% during the three
month period ended September 30, 2001 over the prior comparable period, due to a
$6.5 million or 62.9% increase in other general and administrative expenses of
which $3.2 million or 50% of such increase is related to increased amortization
and reserves for impairment of the Company's servicing asset, a $2.2 million or
33.2% increase in employee compensation and benefits, and a $895,000 or 26.5%
increase in occupancy expenses.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

         The following table summarizes the anticipated maturities or repricing
or R&G Financial's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as
of September 30, 2001, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the
notes below. For purposes of this presentation, the interest earning components
of loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities held in connection with
the Company's mortgage banking business, as well as all securities held for
trading, are assumed to mature within one year. In addition, investments held by
the Company which have call features are presented according to their
contractual maturity date.

(1)      Adjustable-rate loans are included in the period in which interest
         rates are next scheduled to adjust rather that in the period in which
         they are due, and fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which
         they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization, in
         each case as adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments.

         As of September 30, 2001, the Company had a one year negative gap of
approximately $82.1 million which constituted 1.91% of total assets as such
date, compared to a negative gap of approximately $477.8 million or 13.5% of
total assets at December 31, 2000. R&G Financial's negative gap within one year
at December 31, 2000 was due primarily to its large fixed-rate mortgage loans
receivable portfolio held for investment and a portion of its portfolio of FHLB
notes and other US agency securities which have call features but were not
likely to be exercised by such agencies due to the actual interest rate
environment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company
extended the maturity dates of certain borrowings into longer-term maturities at
lower rates to take advantage of reductions in interest rates during the period.
In addition, the Company entered into certain derivative instruments and
increased its portfolio of investment securities held for trading, reducing its
gap exposure. While the above table presents the Company's loans receivable
portfolio held for investment purposes according to its maturity date, from time
to time the Company may negotiate special transactions with FHLMC and/or FNMA or
other third party investors for the sale of such loans. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in consummating any such
transactions.

         The following table presents for the periods indicated R&G Financial's
total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the
resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing
liabilities expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin.
The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes. All average balances are
based on the average of month-end balances for R&G Mortgage and average daily
balances for the Bank in each case during the periods presented.

(1)      Includes loans sold, servicing released, by Continental Capital,
         totaling $164.9 million and $130.5 million in 2001 and 2000,
         respectively.

(2)      Run-offs refers to regular amortization of loans, prepayments and
         foreclosures.

(3)      At the dates shown, included $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion of loans
         serviced for the Bank, respectively, which constituted 14.1% and 17.4%
         of the total servicing portfolio, respectively.

---------------

         Substantially all of the mortgage loans in R&G Financial's servicing
portfolio are secured by single (one-to-four) family residences secured by real
estate located in Puerto Rico. At September 30, 2001 less than 7% of the
Company's mortgage servicing portfolio was related to mortgages secured by real
property located outside Puerto Rico.

         The Company reduces the sensitivity of its servicing income to
increases in prepayment rates through a strong retail origination network that
has increased or maintained the size of R&G Financial's servicing portfolio even
during periods of high prepayments. In addition, a substantial portion of the
Company's servicing portfolio consists of tax-exempt FHA/VA mortgage loans which
carry lower interest rates than those on conventional loans, which tends to
reduce risks related to R&G Financial's servicing portfolio. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 the Company recognized $2.5 million of
unscheduled amortization of mortgage servicing rights and made provisions for
impairment of mortgage servicing rights of approximately $1.2 million. These
amounts include $475,000 and $594,000 of unscheduled amortization and provisions
for impairment, respectively, attributable to Continental Capital, the Company's
wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary in the State of New York.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         LIQUIDITY - Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, savings
deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding
borrowings and to pay operating expenses. It is management's policy to maintain
greater liquidity than required in order to be in a position to fund loan
purchases and originations, to meet withdrawals from deposit accounts, to make
principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to
make investments that take advantage of interest rate spreads. The Company
monitors its liquidity in accordance with guidelines established by the Company
and applicable regulatory requirements. The Company's need for liquidity is
affected by loan demand, net changes in deposit levels and the scheduled
maturities of its borrowings. The Company can minimize the cash required during
the times of heavy loan demand by modifying its credit policies or reducing its
marketing efforts. Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in deposits are
usually caused by factors over which the Company has limited control. The
Company derives its liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is
derived from assets by receipt of interest and principal payments and
prepayments, by the ability to sell assets at market prices and by utilizing
unpledged assets as collateral for borrowings. Liquidity is derived from
liabilities by maintaining a variety of funding sources, including deposits,
advances from the FHLB of New York and other short and long-term borrowings.

         The Company's liquidity management is both a daily and long-term
function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally invested in short-term
investments such as securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal
funds sold and certificates of deposit in other financial institutions. If the
Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, various
forms of both short and long-term borrowings provide an additional source of
funds. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $104.5 million in borrowings
capacity under unused warehousing and other lines of credit, $560.5 million in
borrowings capacity under unused lines of credit with the FHLB of New York and
$15 million under unused federal funds lines of credit. The Company has
generally not relied upon brokered deposits as a source of liquidity.

         At September 30, 2001, the Company had outstanding commitments to
originate and/or purchase mortgage and non-mortgage loans of $154.0 million
(including unused lines of credit). Certificates of deposit which are scheduled
to mature within one year totaled $1.0 billion at September 30, 2001, and
borrowings that are scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $1.0
billion. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
meet its current loan commitments.

         CAPITAL RESOURCES - The FDIC's capital regulations establish a minimum
3.0 % Tier I leverage capital requirement for the most highly-rated
state-chartered, non-member banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to
200 basis points for all other state-chartered, non-member banks, which
effectively will increase the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio for such other banks
from 4.0% to 5.0% or more. Under the FDIC's regulations, the highest-rated banks
are those that the FDIC determines are not anticipating or experiencing
significant growth and have well diversified risk, including no undue interest
rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and,
in general, which are considered a strong banking organization and are rated
composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System. Leverage or
core capital is defined as the sum of common stockholders' equity (including
retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus,
and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets
other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased
mortgage servicing rights.

         The FDIC also requires that banks meet a risk-based capital standard.
The risk-based capital standard for banks requires the maintenance of total
capital (which is defined as Tier I capital and supplementary (Tier 2) capital)
to risk weighted assets of 8%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted
assets, all assets, plus certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a
risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the FDIC believes are inherent in
the type of asset or item. The components of Tier 1 capital are equivalent to
those discussed above under the 3% leverage capital standard. The components of
supplementary capital include certain perpetual preferred stock, certain
mandatory convertible securities, certain subordinated debt and intermediate
preferred stock and general allowances for loan and lease losses. Allowance for
loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a
maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of capital counted
toward supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. At September
30, 2001, the Bank met each of its capital requirements, with Tier 1 leverage
capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 6.67%,
12.00% and 12.73%, respectively.

         In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has promulgated capital adequacy
guidelines for bank holding companies which are substantially similar to those
adopted by FDIC regarding state-chartered banks, as described above. The Company
is currently in compliance with such regulatory capital requirements.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars (except with respect to
securities which are carried at market value), without considering changes in
the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most
industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the
Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.
