changes in its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001.

         The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2002. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

         All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted 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

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived 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 Occuring 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. The adoption of this Statement did not have an
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted also SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires 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 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be
amortized over the respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual
values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

During the first quarter of 2002, based on further evaluation of the adoption
effects of SFAS No. 142, management determined that the initial adoption of
this Statement on January 1, 2002 had no effect on the financial conditions or
results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 2  -         EARNINGS PER SHARE


         Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income
(less preferred stock dividends) by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options granted in connection with
the Company's Stock Option Plan (348,098 and 717,600 during the three month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 353,249 and 719,728
during the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively), are
included in the weighted average number of shares for purposes of the diluted
earnings per share computation. No other adjustments are 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:

      Three month               Six month
      period ended             period ended

(1)      The increase in the ratio was partially caused by loan securitizations
         undertaken by the Company, 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 June 30, 2002 and December
         31, 2001, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans would have
         been 2.14% and 2.75%, 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 June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 would have been 2.31% and
         88.6%, respectively, and 1.97% and 78.8%, respectively.

         A significant amount of the increase in the Company's non-accruing
         commercial real estate and real estate owned is attributable to assets
         acquired in connection with the acquisition of Crown Bank in June
         2002. Total non-accruing loans and real estate owned acquired in
         connection with such acquisition totaled $13.2 million and $5.1
         million, respectively. Management believes that it established
         appropriate reserves with respect to such assets in connection with
         the acquisition.

NOTE 7  -         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         At June 30, 2002, the Company was 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 $578.3 million at June 30, 2002. Liability, if any,
under the recourse provisions at June 30, 2002 is estimated by management to be
insignificant.

         In April 2002, R&G Acquisition Holdings Corporation (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of R&G Financial) ("RAC"), a Florida corporation and savings and loan
holding company, formed R&G Capital Trust I ("R&G Capital Trust"), a Delaware
business trust. R&G Capital Trust issued $25.0 million of trust preferred
securities in a private placement. The Company has guaranteed certain
obligations of RAC to R&G Capital Trust.

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
loans are sold, or amortized as a yield adjustment to interest income on loans
held for investment.

         Total employee costs and other expenses before capitalization follows:

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


GENERAL

         R&G Financial Corporation (the "Company" or "R&G Financial") is a
Puerto Rico chartered diversified financial holding company that, through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in banking, mortgage banking, securities
brokerage and insurance activities. The Company, currently in its 30th year of
operations, operated 82 branch offices (26 bank branches mainly located in the
northeastern section of Puerto Rico, 14 bank branches in the Orlando and
Tampa/St. Petersburg Florida markets, 38 mortgage offices in Puerto Rico and, 4
mortgage offices in the United States) as of June 30, 2002.

         On June 7, 2002, the Company, through its Florida holding company, R&G
Acquisition Holdings Corporation, acquired The Crown Group, Inc., a Florida
corporation, and its wholly-owned savings bank subsidiary, Crown Bank, a Federal
Savings Bank, hereinafter collectively referred to as "RAC". RAC, which had
total assets of $731.1 million, and total deposits of $472.6 million as of June
30, 2002, operates Crown Bank in the Orlando and Tampa/St. Petersburg
metropolitan areas through 14 full-service offices.

         The Orlando market is one of the fastest growing markets in Florida,
both generally and for Hispanics in particular, and provides the Company with
what it believes is a cost effective way to access the Hispanic markets in the
United States, while providing a strong platform for further expansion in
Florida. Crown Bank's balance sheet is complementary to the Company's, and is
predominantly secured by real estate. The acquisition was accretive to the
Company's earnings per share during the second quarter of 2002 (one month only).

         The Company also provides a full range of banking services in Puerto
Rico through R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico (the "Bank"), a Puerto Rico
commercial bank. Banking activities include 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 other
services through its private banking department.

         Mortgage banking activities are conducted through R&G Mortgage Corp.,
Puerto Rico's second largest mortgage banker, The Mortgage Store of Puerto Rico,
Inc., also a Puerto Rico mortgage company, and Continental Capital Corp.,
a New York mortgage banking company with offices in New York and North Carolina.
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 began insurance operations in November 2000 through Home &
Property Insurance Corp., a Puerto Rico insurance agency, and securities
brokerage in early 2002 through R&G Investments Corporation, a Puerto Rico
corporation and a licensed broker-dealer.

         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 $11.1
billion as of June 30, 2002, from $6.9 billion as of the same date a year ago,
an increase of 60.4%. During the second quarter of 2002 the Company acquired a
servicing portfolio of $2.9 billion as part of the acquisition of Crown Bank.
R&G Financial's strategy is to continue to increase the size of its mortgage
servicing portfolio by relying principally on internal loan originations.

         As part of its strategy to maximize net interest income, R&G Financial
maintains a substantial portfolio of mortgage-backed and investment securities.
At June 30, 2002, the Company held securities available for sale with a fair
market value of $2.6 billion, which included $1.8 billion of mortgage-backed


                                       19
<PAGE>
securities, of which $505.8 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 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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         At June 30, 2002, total assets amounted to $5.9 billion, as compared to
$4.7 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1.2 billion or 25.9%. On June
7, 2002 the Company completed the acquisition of Florida based The Crown Group,
Inc. ("Crown"), with total consolidated assets of $712.3 million at the time of
acquisition. Excluding the increase in assets due to the Crown acquisition,
total assets increased by $497.4 million or 10.7% from December 31, 2001. The
$497.4 million increase in total assets was primarily the result of a $380.1
million or 18.3% increase in mortgage-backed and investment securities available
for sale, and a $185.0 million or 10.3% increase in loans receivable, net.

         At June 30, 2002, R&G Financial had $2.6 billion of borrowings
(consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, notes payable,
FHLB advances and other borrowings), compared to $2.1 billion at December 31,
2001. R&G Financial utilized repurchase agreements and FHLB Advances to fund its
growth during the period. Crown  Bank had total deposits of $472.6 million as of
June 30, 2002.

         At June 30, 2002, R&G Financial's allowance for loan losses totaled
$27.9 million, which represented a $10.5 million or 60.0% increase from the
level maintained at December 31, 2001. The allowance for loan losses at June 30,
2002 includes $7.5 million of acquired reserves from the Crown acquisition. At
June 30, 2002, R&G Financial's allowance represented approximately 1.09% of the
total loan portfolio and 36.89% 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 2.31% and 88.6%, respectively. The increase
in the allowance for loan losses reflects the increase in R&G Financial's
commercial real estate and construction loan portfolio.

         Non-performing loans amounted to $75.6 million at June 30, 2002, a
decrease of $3.1 million when compared to $72.5 million at December 31, 2001.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company sold approximately $27.3
million of non-performing residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2002, $44.1
million or 58.4% of non-performing loans consisted of residential mortgage
loans. Management attributes the increase in recent years to increased delays in
the foreclosure process in Puerto Rico. 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 as a percentage of average
loans outstanding amounted to 0.32% during 2001 and 0.17% during 2000. 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 decreased from 3.79% to 2.95% from December
31, 2001 to June 30, 2002, such ratios were nonetheless larger than they would
otherwise have been due to loan securitizations undertaken by the Company, which
have reduced the amount of loans considered in the calculation of the ratio.
Without giving effect to loan securitizations, at June 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans would have been 2.14% and
2.75%, respectively.

         Stockholders' equity increased from $459.1 million at December 31, 2001
to $571.4 million at June 30, 2002. The $112.2 million or 24.4% increase was due
primarily to the issuance of 2,760,000 shares of


                                       20
<PAGE>
the Company's 7.25% Monthly Income Preferred Stock, Series D, during the first
half of 2002 for aggregate net proceeds of $66.6 million, the net income
recognized during the period, net of dividends declared, and a $12.9 million
increase in other comprehensive income, due to unrealized gains on securities
available for sale during the period of $22.6 million ($13.8 million net of
taxes).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, R&G Financial
reported net income of $23.1 million and $44.6 million, or $0.59 and $1.17 of
earnings per diluted share, respectively, compared to net income before the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $15.4 million and $28.8
million or $0.43 and $0.81 of earnings per diluted share for the comparative
periods in 2001, which reflects an increase in earnings per share of 37.2% and
44.4% for the three and six months periods ending June 30, 2002 over the
comparable periods in 2001.

         Net interest income increased by $28.5 million or 71.9% during the six
month period ended June 30, 2002 to $68.1 million, primarily due to an increase
in the average balance of interest-earning assets, together with a 67 basis
point increase in the net interest margin from 2.29% to 2.96%. The provision for
loan losses amounted to $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002,
a 232.9% increase over the prior comparable period, as R&G Financial increased
it general reserves to reflect the expected 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 six months ended June 30, 2002 over the prior comparable period. Net
gain on sale of loans increased significantly, by $6.5 million or 24.0% over the
prior comparable period, which was due both to an increased volume of loans
originated and sold as well as increased profits made on loans sold. Loan
administration and servicing fees also increased by $2.9 million or 17.6% over
the comparable periods, due to the growth in the loan servicing portfolio.

         Net interest income increased by $14.6 million or 68.3% to $36.0
million during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, due to an increase in the
average balance of interest-earning assets, together with a 61 basis points
increase in the net interest margin from 2.39% to 3.00%. Net gain on sale of
loans increased 31.8% to $15.8 million during the three month ended June 30,
2002.

         Total expenses increased by $14.8 million or 31.4% during the six
months ended June 30, 2002 over the prior comparable period, primarily due to a
$9.2 million or 37.6% 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 and other marketing
initiatives. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $4.7 million or
31.7% associated with general growth in Company operations as well as increased
loan production. These increases were accompanied by a $947,000 or 11.8%
increase in occupancy expenses.

         Total expenses increased by $7.9 million or 33.2% during the three
month period ended June 30, 2002 over the prior comparable period, due to a $5.1
million or 41.0% increase in other general and administrative expenses, a $2.2
million or 30.8% increase in employee compensation and benefits, and a $587,000
or 14.3% increase in occupancy expenses.

(3)      At the dates shown, included $913.7 million and $986.2 million of loans
         serviced for the Bank, respectively, which constituted 8.2% and 14.5%
         of the total servicing portfolio, respectively, and $392.7 million of
         loans in Crown Bank's own portfolio as of June 30, 2002, or 3.5% of the
         total servicing portfolio at such date.

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

         A large portion 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 June 30, 2002, 62.4% of the Company's mortgage
servicing portfolio was related to mortgages secured by real property located in
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 in
Puerto Rico 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company
recognized $3.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of unscheduled
amortization on mortgage servicing rights.

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 June 30, 2002, the Company had $113.2 million in borrowing capacity
under unused warehousing and other lines of credit, $696.2 million in borrowings
capacity under unused lines of credit with the FHLB of New York and $25 million
under unused fed funds lines of credit. The Company has generally not relied
upon brokered deposits as a source of liquidity.

         At June 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate
and/or purchase mortgage and non-mortgage loans of $105.0 (including unused
lines of credit) million. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature
within one year totaled $949.0 million at June 30, 2002, and borrowings that are
scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $1.5 billion. The Company
anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current
loan commitments.


                                       26

         CAPITAL RESOURCES - The Company issued $25 million in Trust Preferred
Securities in April 2002 through R&G Capital Trust I, a subsidiary of R&G
Acquisition Holdings Corporation. The Trust Preferred Securities increased the
Company's regulatory capital, which allows for the continued growth of our
franchise. The ability to treat these Trust Preferred Securities as regulatory
capital under Federal Reserve guidelines, coupled with the Federal income tax
deductibility of the related expense, provides the Company with a cost-effective
form of capital.

         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 June 30,
2002, 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 6.61%,
12.46% and 13.38%, respectively. At June 30, 2002 Crown Bank also met each of
its capital requirements, with Tier 1 (core) capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital
and total risk-based capital ratios of 8.61%, 12.01% and 13.23%, 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The Company considers its Allowance for Loan Losses policy as a policy
critical to its sound operations. The Company provides for loan losses each
period by an amount resulting from both (a) an estimate by management of loan
losses that occurred during the period and (b) the ongoing adjustment of prior
estimates of losses occurring in prior periods. The provision for loan losses
increases the allowance for loan losses which is netted against loans on the
consolidated statements of financial condition. As losses are confirmed, the
loan is written down, reducing the allowance for loan losses. See Note 1 of the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2001 for
further information regarding the Company's provision and allowance for loan
losses policy.

         The Company also considers, as critical to the sound operations of the
Company, its policy for the measurement and periodic evaluation for impairment
of its servicing asset and retained interests resulting from the sale or
securitization of residential mortgage loans and/or financial asset transfers of
mortgage loans accounted for as sales.



                                       27
<PAGE>

         As of June 30, 2002, the Company had a servicing asset of $146.2
million, and retained interests (CMO residuals and interest only strips)
resulting from financial asset transfers accounted for as sales totaling $19.2
million. Such assets are initially recorded at their fair value at the time of
sale or securitization. Once recorded, such assets are periodically evaluated
and adjusted accordingly using discounted future cash flows techniques, via
Company simulation models and through external consultants. Generally, the value
of such assets decline with decreases in interest rates and conversely increases
when interest rates increase. An impairment is recognized on the Company's
servicing asset whenever the prepayment pattern of the underlying mortgage loans
indicates that the fair value of such asset is lower than its carrying amount.
Retained interests are adjusted periodically to their estimated fair value, and
are included within mortgage-backed securities available for sale on the
consolidated statements of financial condition. See Notes 1 and 3 of the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2001 for further
information regarding the Company's servicing asset and retained interests
policy.

RECENT LEGISLATION

         On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, or the SOA. The stated goals of the SOA are to increase corporate
responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing
improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving
the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities
laws.

         The SOA is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in
some time. The SOA generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S.,
that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
the Exchange Act. Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to
many of the SOA's new requirements, the final scope of these requirements
remains to be determined.

         The SOA includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and
new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to
adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related
rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the
Comptroller General. The SOA represents significant federal involvement in
matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation
of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the
relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of
directors and its committees.

         This SOA addresses, among other matters: audit committees;
certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the
chief financial officer; the forfeiture of bonuses and profits made by directors
and senior officers in the twelve month period covered by restated financial
statements; a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out
periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; a prohibition on personal
loans to directors and officers; expedited filing requirements for Forms 4s;
disclosure of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of
such code; "real time" filing of periodic reports; the formation of a public
accounting oversight board; auditor independence; and various increased criminal
penalties for violations of securities laws.

         The SOA contains provisions which became effective upon enactment on
July 30, 2002 and provisions which will become effective from within 30 days to
one year from enactment. The SEC has been delegated the task of enacting rules
to implement various of the provisions with respect to, among other matters,
disclosure in periodic filings pursuant to the Exchange Act.
