Current Mortgage/Capital Market • Downturn in capital and mortgage markets is more severe than the market anticipated • Loss of confidence in ratings and ratings services • Pricing of mortgage-backed assets by institutions • Potential legal/regulatory changes • Likely mergers, acquisitions or failures among financial institutions • Law suits • Foreclosures will remain high through 2009 maybe early 2010 • Subprime ARM resets significant through 2009 • Return to traditional mortgage loan underwriting • Mortgage delinquency/default problems are spilling over into consumer debt delinquencies and business loans • Plenty of liquidity in market, nobody knows how to lend

Factors Leading to Higher Foreclosures • Traditional life events: loss of job, divorce, illness • Falling home prices • Significant number of non-owner-occupant, investor buyers • ARM resets, prime and subprime • Spikes in other housing costs, especially property taxes and utilities • Local employment losses – Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and other rust-belt states • Fraud and predatory lending practices
