News Release
Mr. Tomkinson commented, "Our objective in 2002 is to create stability in our Company's dividend payments. With the first quarter dividend payment of $0.40 per share, our goal is to at least maintain this dividend rate throughout 2002." Mr. Tomkinson further commented, "As a result of the projected growth in our balance sheet this year, we anticipate the balance sheet to generate as much as 80% of our total income as compared to 67% in 2001. Furthermore, in conjunction with the Company's interest rate management policies, and concentration on investment in high credit quality Alt-A non-conforming mortgage loans, we believe the Company is now positioned better than ever to deliver more consistent earnings."
Tomkinson added, "Year to date, the Company's adjustable rate loans increased to an average of 65% of total acquisitions and originations, which will enable the Company to increase total assets to approximately $3.3 billion by the end of this quarter." Tomkinson further commented, "At current prepayment rates in our Long-Term Investment portfolio and given current trends in loan acquisitions and originations, we believe the Company should exceed its year-end target growth initiatives of $3.7 billion in total assets."
