R&G FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — REPORTING ENTITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Reporting entity

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of R&G Financial Corporation (the “Company”), a diversified financial services company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico (the “Premier Bank”), a Puerto Rico commercial bank, R-G Crown Bank (formerly Crown Bank, F.S.B.) (“Crown Bank”), a Florida-based federal savings bank, R&G Mortgage Corp. (“R&G Mortgage”), Puerto Rico’s second largest mortgage banker, R-G Investments Corporation, a Puerto Rico licensed securities broker-dealer, and Home & Property Insurance Corp., a Puerto Rico insurance agency. The Company, currently in its 31st year of operations, operates as a financial holding company, pursuant to the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, and is primarily engaged in banking, mortgage banking, and securities and insurance brokerage through its subsidiaries.

Premier Bank and Crown Bank provide a full range of banking services, including residential, commercial and personal loans and a variety of deposit products. Premier Bank operates through thirty-one branches located mainly in the northeastern part of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Crown Bank operates in the Orlando and Tampa/St. Petersburg metropolitan areas through fifteen full service branches and six commercial lending offices. Premier Bank also provides private banking and trust and other financial services to its customers. Premier Bank and Crown Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and local agencies, and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

Crown Bank is also engaged in the origination of FHA insured, VA guaranteed and privately insured first and second mortgage loans on residential real estate (1 to 4 families) in the States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina and Florida, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Capital Corporation (“Continental Capital”).

R&G Mortgage is engaged primarily in the business of originating FHA-insured, VA- guaranteed, and privately insured first and second mortgage loans on residential real estate (1 to 4 families). R&G Mortgage pools FHA and VA loans into GNMA mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligation certificates for sale to investors. After selling the loans, it retains the servicing on the loans. R&G Mortgage is also a FNMA and FHLMC Seller-Servicer of conventional loans.

R&G Mortgage also originates FHA insured, VA guaranteed and privately insured first and second mortgage loans on residential real estate (1 to 4 families), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mortgage Store of Puerto Rico, Inc.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (principally consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2003 and the results of operations and changes in its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. 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, 2002.

Basis of consolidation

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

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 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. 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. The initial adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2002 had no effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34)” (“FIN No. 45”). FIN No. 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” relating to a guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. FIN No. 45 requires a guarantor of certain guarantees to recognize at its inception a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken when issuing the guarantee, and also expands the related disclosures. The provisions of initial recognition are effective for guarantees issued and modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 on January 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On April 30, 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 or Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a significant effect in the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” FAS 150 represents phase 1 of the FASB’s broader project on (1) distinguishing between liability and equity instruments and (2) accounting for instruments that have characteristics of both types of instruments (the “liabilities and equity project”). SFAS No. 150 covers a limited number of instruments that are to be classified as liabilities and specifies that such instruments embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. It is expected that phase 2 of the project, set to begin in July, will address (1) separating compound financial instruments (including convertible debt and conditionally redeemable stock) that

have characteristics of liabilities and equity into their liability and equity components, (2) the definition of an ownership relationship, and (3) the definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6 (CON 6), “Elements of Financial Statements.”

Under the provisions of this Statement, SFAS No. 150 is effective July 1, 2003 for the Company. Among the instruments specified by SFAS No. 150, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments must be classified as liabilities. The Company has $35 million of such instruments already classified as other borrowings in its consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2003 and accordingly, this Statement will have no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. The weighted average of outstanding stock options granted in connection with the Company’s Stock Option Plan (138,037 and 348,098 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and 147,983 and 353,249 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, 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

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

The carrying value and estimated fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities by category are shown below. The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices and dealer quotes, except for the investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock which is valued at its redemption value.

Commitments to sell mortgage loans

As of June 30, 2003 the Company had commitments to sell mortgage loans to third party investors amounting to approximately $428.4 million at prevailing prices at the time of delivery.

Lease commitments

The Company is obligated under several noncancelable 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 June 30, 2003, 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 $952.9 million at June 30, 2003.

In April 2002, R&G Acquisition Holdings Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of R&G Financial) (“RAC”), a Florida corporation and the holding company of Crown Bank, formed R&G Capital Trust I (“R&G Capital Trust”), a Delaware statutory 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.

During the second quarter of 2003, the US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) began an income tax examination of Crown Group, Inc.’s (“Crown Group”) income tax returns for the year 2001. Crown Group was the predecessor thrift holding company of Crown Bank prior to the acquisition of Crown Bank in June 2002 by the Company. Management believes that this examination should not result in any significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

General

R&G Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a Puerto Rico chartered diversified financial holding company that, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is engaged in banking, mortgage banking, securities and insurance brokerage activities. The Company, currently in its 31st year of operations, operates 31 bank branches mainly located in the northeastern section of Puerto Rico, 15 bank branches in the Orlando and Tampa/St. Petersburg Florida markets, 6 mortgage and 6 commercial lending offices in the continental United States, and 43 mortgage offices in Puerto Rico, including 24 facilities located within Premier Bank’s branches.

The Company is engaged in providing a full range of banking services through R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico (“Premier Bank”), a Puerto Rico commercial bank, and R-G Crown Bank (formerly Crown Bank, F.S.B.) (“Crown Bank”), its Florida-based federal savings bank acquired in June 2002. Banking activities include commercial banking services, corporate and construction lending, consumer lending and credit cards, offering a variety of deposit products and, to a lesser extent, trust and investment services through private banking.

The Company is also engaged in mortgage banking activities. 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 Corporation, a New York mortgage banking subsidiary of Crown Bank with offices in New York, North Carolina and Florida. 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 insurance brokerage through Home & Property Insurance Corp., a Puerto Rico insurance agency, and securities brokerage through R-G Investments Corporation, a Puerto Rico 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 $11.3 billion as of June 30, 2003, from $10.9 billion as of the same date a year ago, an increase of 4.3%. R&G Financial’s strategy is 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, 2003, the Company held securities available for sale with a fair market value of $3.0 billion, which included $2.3 billion of mortgage-backed securities, of which $379.7 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. R&G Financial’s lower effective tax rates compared to the maximum statutory rates reflect the exemption under Puerto Rico law of the net interest income derived from such securities. In addition, the Company invests in certain U.S. agency securities that are exempt from Puerto Rico taxation and are not subject to federal income taxation. Finally, R&G Financial’s international banking entities may invest in various U.S. securities, the income on which is exempt from Puerto Rico income taxation and is also not subject to federal income taxation.

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.

At June 30, 2003, total assets amounted to $7.3 billion, as compared to $6.3 billion at December 31, 2002. The $978.9 million or 15.6% increase in total assets since the beginning of the year was primarily the result of a $469.7 million or 18.4% increase in mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale, and a $527.1 million or 19.1% increase in loans receivable, net, due to record loan production during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 of $2.1 billion, a 61.2% increase versus the corresponding period in 2002.

At June 30, 2003, R&G Financial had $3.1 billion of borrowings (consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, notes payable, FHLB advances and other borrowings), compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2002. R&G Financial utilized repurchase agreements and deposits to fund its growth during the period; total deposits grew $15.6% from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2002 to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2003, whereas repurchase agreements increased by $355.7 million or 23.9%.

At June 30, 2003, R&G Financial’s allowance for loan losses totaled $34.3 million, which represented a $1.6 million or 5.0% increase from the level maintained at December 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, R&G Financial’s allowance represented approximately 0.98% of the total loan portfolio and 39.19% 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 2.14% and 121.5%, respectively, at June 30, 2003.

Non-performing loans amounted to $87.6 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $9.4 million when compared to $78.2 million at December 31, 2002. The increase is primarily related to a $16.0 million increase in delinquent residential real estate loans over 90 days past due. At June 30, 2003, $59.3 million or 67.7% of non-performing loans consisted of residential mortgage loans in which R&G Financial has historically experienced a low level of loan charge-offs. As a result, R&G Financial’s aggregate charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans outstanding amounted to 0.43% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 0.41% during the year ended December 31, 2002. Although loan delinquencies have historically been higher in Puerto Rico than in the United States, actual foreclosures and the resulting loan charge-offs have historically been lower than in the United States.

Real estate owned properties of the Company also increased 31.2% from $15.5 million at December 31, 2002 to $20.4 million at June 30, 2003. The increase is mostly related to residential real estate loans foreclosed by the Company, net of resales, during the period.

Stockholders’ equity increased from $662.2 million at December 31, 2002 to $700.7 million at June 30, 2003. The $38.5 million or 5.8% increase was due primarily to the net income recognized during the period, net of dividends paid.

Results of Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, R&G Financial reported net income of $31.5 million and $60.6 million, or $0.80 and $1.54 of earnings per diluted share, respectively, compared to net income of $22.6 million and $44.2 million or $0.59 and $1.17 of earnings per diluted share for the comparative periods in 2002. Such results reflect an increase in earnings per share of 35.6% and 31.6% for the three and six months periods ending June 30, 2003 over the comparable periods in 2002.

Net interest income increased by $18.7 million or 27.5% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 to $86.8 million, primarily due to a $1.7 billion increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 20 basis point decrease in the net interest margin from 2.96% to 2.76%. Contributing to the increase in average earning assets were the assets of Crown Bank, the Company’s Florida-based banking subsidiary acquired in June 2002.

The provision for loan losses amounted to $8.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003, a 10.2% decrease over the prior comparable period, reflecting the fact that approximately 67.7% of total non-performing loans as of June 30, 2003 consist of residential mortgage loans, in which the Company’s historical charge-off experience has been very low.

R&G Financial also experienced an increase in non-interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2003 over the comparable period. Net gain on sale of loans increased by $44.4 million or 132.8% over the prior comparable period, as a result of record loan production and sales. Total loan production during the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $2.1 billion compared to $1.3 billion during the prior comparable period. Loan administration and servicing fees also increased by $6.7 million or 34.0% over the comparable periods, due to the growth in the loan servicing portfolio from $10.9 billion at June 30, 2002 to $11.3 billion at June 30, 2003, or an increase of $466.0 million. Contributing to the increase in loan administration and servicing fees was the $2.6 billion servicing portfolio acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Crown Bank. Other fee income also increased by $5.0 million or 63.2%. Such increase reflects the added contributions made by the Company’s insurance agency and broker-dealer subsidiaries, as well as the fee income generated through the operations of Crown Bank.

Net interest income increased by $8.5 million or 23.6% to $44.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 28 basis points decrease in the net interest margin from 3.00% to 2.72%. Net gain on sale of loans increased 185.0% to $44.9 million during the three month ended June 30, 2003, together with a $2.8 million or 27.0% increase in loan administration and servicing fees and a $3.1 million or 78.0% increase in other fee income.

Total expenses increased by $52.2 million or 83.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 over the comparable 2002 period, partially due to a $10.1 million or 51.7% increase in employee compensation and benefits associated with general growth in Company operations, including expenses associated with the operations of Crown Bank. The increase in total expenses was also due to a $39.3 million or 115.6% increase in other administrative and general expenses, which includes a $24.6 million increase in expenses associated with impairment charges (including unscheduled amortization) of the Company’s servicing asset, as well as increased expenses related to the operations of Crown Bank.

Total expenses increased by $31.0 million or 96.0% during the three month period ended June 30, 2003 over the prior comparable period, due to a $24.7 million or 136.7% increase in other general and administrative expenses, which includes a $15.3 million increase in expenses associated with impairment charges of the Company’s servicing asset, a $5.0 million or 52.0% increase in employee compensation and benefits, and a $1.4 million or 29.1% 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 June 30, 2003, 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.

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had a one year positive gap of approximately $38.7 million which constituted 0.53% of total assets at such date, compared to a positive gap of approximately $498.1 million or 7.9% of total assets at December 31, 2002. R&G Financial’s positive gap within one year at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 is due primarily to an increasing amount of adjustable rate loans resulting from greater emphasis in commercial and construction lending as well as to the extension during 2001 and 2002 of the maturity dates of certain borrowings of the Company into longer-term maturities at very attractive rates, taking advantage of consecutive reductions in interest rates during such years. The Company estimates that as of June 30, 2003, close to 45% of all borrowings of the Company had maturity dates longer than one year.

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 non-banking subsidiaries and average daily balances for banking subsidiaries in each case during the periods presented.

(1)		Corresponds to loans sold, servicing released, by Continental Capital.

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

(3)		Includes $2.6 billion in June 2002 acquired in connection with the acquisition of Crown Bank.

(4)		At the dates shown, included $1.5 billion and $913.7 million, respectively, serviced for Premier Bank, which constituted 13.5% and 8.4% of the total servicing portfolio, and $82.5 million and $134.4 million, respectively, serviced for Crown Bank, which constituted 0.7% and 1.2%, respectively, of the total servicing portfolio at such dates.

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 June 30, 2003, approximately 66.5% 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized $12.8 million and $3.4 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 Atlanta (the “FHLB”) 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, 2003, the Company had $117.8 million in borrowing capacity under unused warehousing and other lines of credit, $934.0 million in borrowings capacity under unused lines of credit with the FHLB 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, 2003, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate and/or purchase mortgage and non-mortgage loans of $713.2 million (including unused lines of credit). Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature within one year totaled $852.5 million at June 30, 2003, and borrowings that are scheduled to mature within the same period amounted to $1.7 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 June 30, 2003, Premier Bank met each of its capital requirements, with Tier 1 leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 6.64%, 11.87% and 12.84%, respectively. At June 30, 2003 Crown Bank also met each of its capital requirements, with Tier 1 leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 6.17%, 8.79% and 9.48%, 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. R&G Financial 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.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks at December 31, 2002 are presented in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K. Information at June 30, 2003 is presented on page 23 of this Report. Management believes there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2002.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

Disclosure controls and procedures are Company controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
