The sustainability of future dividends depends on several factors including the company's earnings, capital requirements and financial position. These critical factors could be impacted by items such as the prices we may obtain for our loan production in the whole loan market as well as the availability and cost of capital from the securitization market and warehouse lenders.
Stockholders who are tax exempt or non U.S. corporations or residents may be required to report a portion of the company's 2005 dividends as excess inclusion income as defined under the Internal Revenue Code. The company will provide the amount of excess inclusion income on the company's Web site after year end.
