    The following table provides data concerning delinquency
experience, real estate owned and loss experience for the loan and
lease portfolio in which we have interests, divided into the portfolio
managed by us and the portfolio serviced by others. See Attachment A
for a reconciliation of total portfolio and REO measures to our
balance sheet. Previously delinquent loans managed by us subject to
deferment and forbearance arrangements are not included in this table
if borrowers are current on principal and interest payments as
required under the terms of the original note (exclusive of delinquent
payments advanced or fees paid by us on the borrower's behalf as part
of the deferment or forbearance arrangement) (dollars in thousands):

             Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For
purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G, a
non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant's
historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash
flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly
comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in
the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or
equivalent statement) of the Company; or includes amounts, or is
subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that
are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated
and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Pursuant to the
requirements of Regulation G, we have provided in this addendum a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure.

    We present total portfolio and total real estate owned, referred
to as REO, information. The total portfolio measure includes loans and
leases recorded on our balance sheet and securitized loans and leases
both managed by us serviced by others. Reconciliation of total
portfolio and REO measures follows (Dollars in thousands):
