Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, include the accounts of Pelican Financial Inc. (“Pelican Financial”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Pelican National Bank (“Pelican National”) and Washtenaw Mortgage Company (“Washtenaw”) for all periods. All references herein to Pelican Financial include the consolidated results of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Stock Compensation:

Compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

	2003		2002
Net income as reported	$	3,257,121	$	(1,079,352	)

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle:

The Derivative Implementation Group (DIG) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on mortgage loan rate lock commitments to borrowers. The guidance categorizes as derivatives rate lock commitments on loans intended for sale, and was effective July 1, 2002. Upon adopting this guidance on July 1, 2002, the Company began recording the fair value of rate lock commitments as derivatives, and accordingly the fair value of rate lock commitments is included in the June 30, 2003 financial statements but is not included in the June 30, 2002 financial statements. The effect of following this guidance on the June 30, 2003 financial statements was a reduction of pre-tax income of $1,661,028.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in Pelican Financial’s Form 10-K.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

NOTE 5 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Pelican Financial’s operations include two primary segments: mortgage banking and retail banking. The mortgage banking segment involves the origination and purchase of single-family residential mortgage loans in approximately 40 states; the sale of such loans in the secondary market, generally on a pooled and securitized basis; and the servicing of mortgage loans for investors. The retail-banking segment involves attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate and purchase existing consumer, commercial, commercial real estate, residential construction, and single-family residential mortgage loans, from its offices in Naples, San Carlos and Fort Myers, Florida.

Of the two segments, Pelican National comprises the retail-banking segment, with net interest income from loans, investments and deposits accounting for its primary revenues. Washtenaw comprises the mortgage-banking segment, with gains on sales of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) and loans, as well as loan servicing income accounting for its primary revenues.

The following segment financial information has been derived from the internal financial statements of Pelican National and Washtenaw, which are used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of Pelican Financial. The accounting policies of the two segments are the same as those of Pelican Financial.

The evaluation process for segments does not include holding company income and expense. Holding company amounts are the primary difference between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the “Other” column below, along with minor amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Certain information in this Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated. Persons are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic and market conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, demand for loan and deposit products and the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income from Pelican Financial’s investments and operations.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

Pelican Financial reported net income of $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $4.4 million when compared to net the net loss of $1.1 million for the same period in 2002. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.73 per share compared to a net loss of $0.24 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The primary cause for the improvement is the increase in mortgage loan production. This is due to the low mortgage interest rates during the quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 Pelican Financial reported net income of $6.2 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2002. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.39 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $0.50 basic and $0.49 diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

The decrease in net income for both the three and six month periods was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense partially offset by an increase in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income was $1.9 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 net interest income was $3.7 million and $3.1 million respectively. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase in the average interest bearing assets outstanding as well as a decrease in the cost of funds. This was partially offset by a decrease in yield on interest earning assets.

Net interest income represents the excess of income on interest-earning assets over interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. The principal interest-earning assets are federal funds sold, investment securities and loans receivable. Interest-bearing liabilities primarily consist of notes payable, repurchase agreements, time deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts (NOW accounts), savings, deposits and money market accounts. Funds attracted by these interest-bearing liabilities are invested in interest-earning assets. Accordingly, net interest income depends upon the volume of average interest-earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $175,000, compared to $211,000 for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $36,000 or 21%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net gains on sales of mortgage servicing rights and loans. The gain on sales of mortgage servicing rights and loans decreased from $110,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, to $46,000 for the same period of 2003, a decrease of $64,000, or 58%. The decrease was due to a sale of boat loans during the three months ended June 30, 2002. No similar transaction occurred during 2003.

For the six months ended June 30 2002, noninterest income was $361,000 compared to $387,000 for the same period in 2001. The decrease of $26,000, or 7%, was primarily the result of a decrease in gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights and loans of $151,000. The decrease in the gain on sale of mortgage servicing right and loans is due to the sale of several small marine loan packages that occurred during 2002. The decrease in gain on sales of loans was offset by increases in securities gains and service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.5 million, compared to $957,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of approximately $550,000 or 57%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in compensation and employee benefits of $374,000 or 80%. The increase was the result of expenses related to additional support staff hired due to the growth of the bank and the opening of an additional branch location. The additional branch contributed to increases in both occupancy and equipment expense of $71,000 and other noninterest expense of $86,000.

For the six months ended June 30 2003, noninterest expense was $2.8 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2002. The increase of $900,000 or 47% was also attributable to the aforementioned expenses.

Mortgage Banking

The following discussion provides information that relates specifically to Pelican Financial’s mortgage banking line of business.

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, Pelican Financial’s net income from mortgage banking activities primarily conducted by Washtenaw totaled $3.4 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 Washtenaw’s comparable net loss was $1.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the net income from mortgage banking activities totaled $6.1 million compared to net income of $1.5 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in the net income for both periods was primarily attributable to the increased mortgage loan production.

The volume of loans produced for the three months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $1.3 billion as compared to $492 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of approximately $800 million or 163%. For the six months ended June 30, loan production totaled $2.2 billion and $1.2 billion for 2003 and 2002 respectively. This represents an increase of $1.0 billion or 83%. Mortgage interest rates reached the lowest levels in recent history which allowed for large quantities of refinancing.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $17.1 million, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $12.5 million or 272%. This increase was primarily due to a 429% increase in the gain on sales of mortgage servicing rights and loans of $12.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, noninterest income was $30.5 million, compared to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $15.8 million or 107%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the gain on sales of mortgage servicing rights and loans and servicing income.

The increase in gain on sales of mortgage servicing rights and loans for the three and six month periods was primarily due to the increase in new loan originations during the periods ended June 30, 2003. During the three month period ended June 30, 2003 Washtenaw sold $1.2 billion in mortgage loans to the secondary market compared to $516.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Washtenaw sold $2.1 billion in mortgage loans to the secondary market compared $1.3 billion during the preceding year.

Loan Servicing

At June 30, 2003 and 2002, Washtenaw serviced $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion of loans. Washtenaw has retained the servicing on a portion of its new production to offset the normal portfolio runoff that occurs when mortgage interest rates decline. This includes both fixed and variable rate conventional loans as well loans insured by the Government National Mortgage Association. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, with the exception of servicing related to loans held for sale in Washtenaw’s loan portfolio and servicing sold but not yet delivered, all loan servicing was serviced for others.

Service fee income, net of amortization, was $257,000 and $452,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, service fee income net of amortization was $795,000 and $793,000, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $14.0 million, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $6.2 million or 79%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $4.2 million, the increase in loan servicing right valuation adjustment of $1.0 million and the increase in other noninterest expense of $1.5 million. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was primarily the result of an increase in personnel and overtime as well as a increase in total commissions paid to the existing sales force as a result of the increase in new loan originations. Washtenaw’s sales force is comprised primarily of commission based business consultants who are paid a percentage of the loan production from their customers. In addition, the management at Washtenaw receives bonus compensation based on the profitability of the company. During the second quarter of 2002 Washtenaw recorded a loss and as a result their was no bonus compensation expense. The mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment increased due to the decrease in mortgage

interest rates. As mortgage interest rates drop, the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset decreases because of the higher likelihood the loans will be refinanced. The increase in other noninterest expense is primarily the result of additional accruals recorded to increase the liability for potential and actual loan repurchases.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, noninterest expense was $24.8 million and $15.4 million, a difference of $9.4 million between the comparable periods. As previously discussed, compensation and employee benefits increased $4.7 million and the mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment increased $1.8 million due to the decrease in mortgage interest rates. In addition, other noninterest expense increased by $1.9 million due to the increase expenses related to potential and actual loan repurchases.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, Pelican Financial incurred a $300,000 charge related to a severance agreement with the former president of Pelican National. Their was no similar charge in the prior year.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

The following is a discussion of the consolidated balance sheet of Pelican Financial.

ASSETS

At June 30, 2003, total assets of Pelican Financial equaled $505.8 million as compared to $385.7 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $120.1 million or 31%. This increase is primarily due to the increase cash and cash equivalents and loans held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $119.5 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $57.4 million at December 31, 2002. The increase of $62.1 million or 108% was primarily the result of an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $74.9 million. The increase is the result of the increase in the balance of custodial accounts related to the mortgage loan servicing portfolio at Washtenaw. The ending balance in these accounts are at their highest at the end of the month due to loan payoffs that have been received but not yet remitted to the investor. These custodial accounts are maintained at Pelican National.

Investment Securities

Pelican National utilizes investments in securities for liquidity management and as a method of deploying excess funding not utilized for investment in loans. Pelican National has invested primarily in U. S. government and agency securities and U. S. government sponsored agency issued mortgage-backed securities. Pelican National classifies securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. At June 30, 2003 and at December 31, 2002, all of the investment securities held in Pelican National’s investment portfolio were classified as available for sale.

The following table contains information on the carrying value of Pelican National’s investment portfolio at the dates indicated. At June 30, 2003, the market value of Pelican National’s investment portfolio totaled $6.2 million. During the periods indicated and except as otherwise noted, Pelican National had no securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.

U. S. Government agency	$	4,952	$	2,517
Mortgage-backed securities	32		43
Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	1,230		1,330
Total investment securities	$	6,214	$	3,890

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale were $248.2 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $192.5 million at December 31, 2002. This increase of $55.7 million or 29% was caused by the increased refinance activity at Washtenaw resulting from the decrease in mortgage interest rates. Throughout the second quarter, mortgage interest rates were at very low levels relative to recent history.

Loans Receivable

Total loans receivable were $104.3 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $104.5 million at December 31, 2002. The portfolio was relatively the same due to new loan originations being offset by loan prepayments and loan sales.

The following table contains selected data relating to the composition of Pelican Financial’s loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated. This table includes mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage loans held for investment. Pelican Financial had no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed below.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Total mortgage servicing rights were $14.0 million at June 30, 2003, a minimal increase from $13.8 million at December 31, 2002. Washtenaw has retained the servicing rights on a portion of current mortgage loan production. A portion of the increase relates to the volume of loans sold in June, for which the related servicing rights are recorded as an asset until sale in July under a flow sale agreement. The increase was offset by an impairment valuation adjustment that resulted from a significant decrease in mortgage interest rates during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This charge was due to an increase in expected prepayment speed which project the expected runoff of the mortgage loan servicing portfolio based on comparing the interest rates of the loans in the portfolio against current market interest rates.

Asset Quality

Pelican Financial is exposed to certain credit risks related to the value of the collateral that secures loans held in its portfolio and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans during the term thereof. Pelican Financial’s senior officers closely monitor the loan and real estate owned portfolios for potential problems on a continuing basis and report to the Board of Directors of Pelican Financial at regularly scheduled meetings. These officers regularly review the classification of loans and the allowance for losses. Pelican Financial also has a quality control department, the function of which is to provide the Board of Directors with an independent ongoing review and evaluation of the quality of the process by which lending assets are generated.

The following table sets forth certain information on nonperforming loans and other real estate owned, the ratio of such loans and other real estate owned to total loans and total assets as of the dates indicated.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

Pelican National establishes an allowance for loan losses based upon a quarterly or more frequent evaluation by management of various factors inherent in the loan portfolio. These factors include the estimated market value of the underlying collateral, the growth and composition of the portfolio, current delinquency trends and prevailing economic conditions, including property values, employment and occupancy rates, interest rates, and other conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to comply with repayment terms. If actual losses exceed the amount of the allowance for loan losses, earnings could be adversely affected. As Pelican National’s provision for loan losses is based on management’s assessment of the probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on all relevant factors and conditions, the allowance for loan losses represents both general and specific reserves. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $290,000 compared to $80,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, was $370,000 and $230,000 for 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in the provision was due to the deterioration in collateral value on several nonaccrual loans in the portfolio. Several of these loans were made to one borrower who has declared bankruptcy that has delayed the foreclosure process. Management made the decision to record additional charge offs on these loans during the quarter. These loans were part of a package of loans that was purchased by Pelican National several years ago.

The allowance for loan losses represented 1.07% of the loans receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2003 compared with 1.01% of the loans receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2002. The amount of the provision for loan losses charged to expense in each of these periods represents management’s best estimate during those periods of the addition necessary to establish appropriate allowances for estimated, incurred credit losses. Such estimates were based on management’s assessment of the current general economic conditions in Pelican National’s market areas, the risk levels associated with the particular composition of the loan portfolio during such periods, and Pelican National’s past collection experience.

LIABILITIES

At June 30, 2003, the total liabilities of Pelican Financial were $468.6 million as compared to $353.9 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $114.7 million or 32%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in deposits, due to bank, notes payable, and repurchase agreements.

Deposits

Total deposits were $197.0 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $153.7 million at December 31, 2002 an increase of $43.3 million or 28%. The primary cause of the increase was due to increased balances in the custodial accounts at Pelican National for Washtenaw’s various investors. These accounts are for the principal, interest, taxes and insurance collected from the loans currently being serviced by Washtenaw. The balance in these accounts typically increases as the balance in loans held for sale increases, the size of the loan servicing portfolio increases or loan payoffs increase.

Due to Bank

Due to bank was $58.3 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $34.8 million at December 31, 2002. The increase of $23.5 million or 68% was due to the increase of mortgage loan production at Washtenaw. Due to Bank represents the drafts provided to fund the loans purchased by Washtenaw that have not yet been presented and cleared the bank.

Notes Payable

Notes payable was $74.6 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $43.9 million at December 31, 2002. This increase of $30.7 million or 70% was primarily caused by a increase in the loans held for sale balance. Since the notes payable represent the warehouse line of credit that Washtenaw uses to fund its loan production until such time that the loans are sold to the secondary market, the balance will generally move in direct correlation with the loans held for sale balance.

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements were $94.6 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $83.0 million at December 31, 2002. This decrease of $11.6 million or 14% in the repurchase agreements was primarily the result of an increase in the balance of loans held for sale. Washtenaw uses repurchase agreements, in addition to its warehouse line of credit, as a means to fund the loans that it purchases. Therefore, much like the notes payable balance, the repurchase agreements balance will move in direct correlation to the loans held for sale balance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Management

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient resources to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. Liquidity management addresses the ability to meet deposit withdrawals either on demand or by contractual maturity, to repay other borrowings as they mature and to make new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

To date Pelican Financial has conducted no business other than managing its investments in Pelican National and Washtenaw. Pelican Financial’s source of funds is dividends paid by Washtenaw and Pelican National. Washtenaw’s sources of funds include cash from gains on sales of mortgage loans and servicing, net interest income, servicing fees and borrowings. Washtenaw sells its mortgage loans generally on a monthly basis to generate cash for operations. Washtenaw’s uses of cash in the short-term include the funding of mortgage loan purchases and originations and purchases of mortgage servicing rights, payment of interest, repayment of amounts borrowed pursuant to warehouse lines of credit, operating and administrative expenses, income taxes and capital expenditures. Long-term uses of cash may also include the funding of securitization activities or portfolios of loan or servicing assets.

Washtenaw funds its business through the use of a warehouse line of credit and the use of agreements to repurchase. The agreements to repurchase typically have terms of less than 90 days and are treated as a source of financing. The warehouse line of credit has a limit of $90 million, of which $13.5 million represents a sublimit for servicing under contract for sale, and $7.2 million represents a working capital sublimit. Borrowing pursuant to the warehouse line of credit totaled $74.6 million at June 30, 2003 and $43.9 million at December 31, 2002. The interest rate on the warehouse line of credit is the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.50% resulting in an effective rate of 2.50% at June 30, 2003

and 2.75% at December 31, 2002. The effective interest rate on the agreements to repurchase was 1.90% at June 30, 2003 and 2.15% at December 31, 2002.

Washtenaw originates its loans either by wiring funds to the closing agent or sending a draft. The decision is based on the requirements of the state where the loan is being purchased. When a draft is used, Washtenaw begins earning interest on the day the draft is issued but does not incur any cost of funds until the draft is presented to bank. When the draft clears the bank, Washtenaw will either borrow money on its warehouse line of credit or through its agreements to repurchase depending on the type of loan. Outstanding drafts totaled $58.3 million at June 30, 2003 and $34.8 million at December 31, 2002. The increase is the result of the increase in mortgage lending activity during the period.

Pelican National’s sources of funds include net increases in deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from sales of loans held for sale, proceeds from maturities and sales and calls of available for sale securities.

The liquidity reserve may consist of cash on hand, cash on demand deposits with other correspondent banks, and other investments and short-term marketable securities as determined by the rules of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), such as federal funds sold and United States securities and securities guaranteed by the United States. At June 30, 2003, Pelican National had a liquidity ratio of 56.90%. This is calculated by adding all of Pelican National’s cash, unpledged securities and Federal Funds Sold and dividing by its’ total liabilities.

Pelican Financial’s ability to continue to purchase loans and mortgage servicing rights and to originate new loans is dependent in large part upon its ability to sell the mortgage loans at par or for a premium or to sell the mortgage servicing rights in the secondary market in order to generate cash proceeds to repay borrowings pursuant to the warehouse facility, thereby creating borrowing capacity to fund new purchases and originations. The value of and market for Pelican Financial’s loans and mortgage servicing rights are dependent upon a number of factors, including the borrower credit risk classification, loan-to-value ratios and interest rates, general economic conditions, warehouse facility interest rates and governmental regulations.

Washtenaw generally grants commitments to fund mortgage loans for up to 30 days at a specified term and interest rate. The commitments are commonly known as rate-lock commitments. At June 30, 2003, Washtenaw had outstanding rate-lock commitments to lend $624.0 million for mortgage loans. Because these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Also, as of June 30, 2003, Washtenaw had outstanding commitments to sell $560.6 million of mortgage loans. These commitments usually are funded within 90 days.

Capital Resources

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (FRB) capital adequacy guidelines mandate that minimum ratios be maintained by bank holding companies such as Pelican Financial. Pelican National is governed by capital adequacy guidelines mandated by the OCC.

Based upon their respective regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2003 Pelican Financial and Pelican National are both well capitalized, based upon the definitions in the regulations issued by the FRB and the OCC setting forth the general capital requirements mandated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

The table below indicates the regulatory capital ratios of Pelican Financial and Pelican National and the regulatory categories for a well capitalized and adequately capitalized bank under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (all three capital ratios) at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively:

	Actual
	June 30, 2003				December 31, 2002				Required to be

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The following summarizes the status of material litigation outstanding against Pelican Financial, Inc. as of June 30, 2003.

Chandler, et al., v. Hilton Mortgage Corporation and Washtenaw Mortgage Co., Civil Action No. 94-A-1418-N, U.S. District Court for the Middle District Alabama (“Chandler”). On November 4, 1994, Washtenaw was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit relating to its method of calculating finance charges in lending disclosures required by the Federal Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”). The complaint was subsequently amended to remove the TILA claim and add a claim under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), a request for declaratory judgment, and a fraud claim. The amended complaint alleges that the yield spread premium payments from Washtenaw to mortgage brokers were either payments for the referral of business, or duplicative payments. The suit seeks unspecified damages. HUD issued a policy statement during 2001 related to this matter. The court has denied class certification in this case. This decision is currently being appealed by the plaintiff. Washtenaw believes that it is and has been in compliance with applicable federal and state laws. At this time, management cannot express an opinion on the impact of this case or the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Hearn, et al. v. Washtenaw Mortgage Co., Case No. 4:98-CV-78 (JRE), U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. On February 19, 1998, Washtenaw was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit alleging that the yield spread premium payments from Washtenaw to mortgage brokers were either payments for the referral of business, or duplicative payments. The suit seeks unspecified damages. On June 22, 1998, Washtenaw filed its answer denying all liability, asserting affirmative defenses, and further asserting that a class should not be certified. Management is currently in process of attempting to settle this case prior to trial. Washtenaw believes that it is and has been in compliance with applicable federal and state laws. At this time, management cannot express an opinion on the impact of these cases or the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Hearn, et al. v. Washtenaw Mortgage Co., Case No. 02-60093, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division. Washtenaw was named as a defendant in this case based on the assertion that Washtenaw engaged in the unauthorized practice of law by virtue of drafting loan documents. The Michigan Supreme Court just recently ruled that lenders in similar situations have not engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. Management is currently in process of attempting to settle this case prior to trial. At this time, management cannot express an opinion on the impact of these cases or the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Webb, et al. v. Washtenaw Mortgage Co., Case No. 01C38 The litigation, pending in West Virginia state court, asserts that WMC and others conspired to take advantage of borrowers through predatory lending practices such as inflating appraisals, not properly disclosing fees and charges, etc. The class which plaintiffs have asked the court to certify consists of persons who signed loan agreements in West Va. with WMC, arranged by a broker, First Security, during the last five years, with contracts on loan forms provided by WMC. The class (as proposed by the plaintiffs) is thus limited in number. The hearing on class certification will be held in the Fall. At this time, management cannot express an opinion on the impact of these cases or the ultimate outcome of this matter.

In the normal course of business Washtenaw regularly sells mortgage loan servicing rights. As part of this process, Washtenaw is required to forward certain documents to the purchaser of mortgage loan servicing rights after the transfer. These documents include the final title policy, the recorded mortgage and the assignment of mortgage. During 1998 and 1999, Washtenaw sold mortgage servicing rights to a purchaser under a contract that contained a clause requiring these documents be delivered within a certain time frame or a penalty of $100 per loan per month would be charged. The contract states that Washtenaw is not to be penalized if the failure to deliver the documents is due to events beyond Washtenaw’s control. The purchaser started invoicing Washtenaw under this penalty provision during 2002 a total of approximately $2.5 million. Washtenaw has disputed these penalty assessments and is of the opinion that it has not violated any of the terms of the contract. As of December 31, 2002 the servicing purchaser claimed there were still documents which were required to be produced under the contract. Washtenaw continues to pursue determining what documents are actually missing (some of the documents requested were, in fact, previously delivered by Washtenaw) and continues to resolve outstanding document issues as soon as practical.
