OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Introduction
The Group's diversified mix of businesses and products generates both the interest income traditionally associated with a banking institution and non-interest income traditionally associated with a financial services institution (generated by such businesses as securities brokerage, fiduciary services, investment banking, insurance and pension administration). Although all of these businesses, to varying degrees, are affected by interest rate and financial markets fluctuations and other external factors, the Group's commitment is to continue producing a balanced and growing revenue stream. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the strategies in place enabled the Group to continue to perform well despite the turbulent credit market and the recession in Puerto Rico. Highlights of the second quarter included:
• Pre-tax operating income (net interest income, core non-interest income from banking and financial service revenues, less non-interest expenses) of approximately $17.3 million - an increase when compared to the $13.0 million-to-$14.8 million range the Group has generated since the first quarter of 2008.

• Strong increase in net interest income of 24.8% and 15.7% compared to the year-ago quarter and the previous quarter, respectively, and a corresponding improvement in the net interest margin to 2.29% (compared to 1.90% and 1.98% in the year-ago and previous quarter, respectively), mainly reflecting the reduction in the cost of funds.

• Growth in core banking and financial service revenues of 19.4% and 15.8% compared to the year-ago and previous quarter, respectively. On a sequential quarter basis, the Group saw increases in mortgage banking activities of 30.3%, banking service revenues of 15.0%, and financial service revenues of 5.5%.

• Benefitting from the strategic positioning of its investment securities portfolio, the Group took advantage of market conditions during the quarter to realize gains on: (i) sales of securities of $10.5 million,
(ii) derivative activities of $19.4 million, and (iii) trading activities of $13.0 million. These gains more than offset credit-related other than temporary impairment charges of $4.4 million on securities.

• Sustained growth in retail deposits of $110.4 million (9.3%) on a sequential quarter basis and $220.7 million (20.4%) on a year-to-date basis.

• Stockholders' equity increased $40.3 million during the quarter and $98.3 million since December 31, 2008, representing an increase of 37.6% on a year-to-date basis.

• Book value per common share increased to $12.04, from $10.38 at March 31, 2009 and $7.96 at December 31, 2008.

• Non-interest expenses were negatively affected by approximately $2.9 million, representing the increase in the Group's insurance expense corresponding to the industry-wide FDIC special assessment on insured depository institutions and payable on September 30, 2009.

Income Available to Common Shareholders
For the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Group's income available to common shareholders totaled $49.7 million and $73.3 million, respectively, compared to $13.2 million and $28.9 million, respectively, in the comparable year-ago quarter and six-month period. Earnings per basic and fully diluted common share were $2.05 and $2.04, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $0.54 per basic and fully diluted common share in the same year-ago period, and $3.02 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1.19 in the year ago period. Return on Average Assets and Common Equity Return on average common equity (ROE) for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, was 80.89% and 66.98%, respectively, up from 20.65% and 20.64% for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2008 respectively. Return on average assets (ROA) for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, was 3.05% and 2.30%, respectively, up from 0.95% and 1.01%, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Net Interest Income after Provision for Loan Losses Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased 20.3% for the quarter and 19.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, totaling $31.8 million and $59.3 million, respectively, compared with $26.5 million and $49.7 million for the same periods last year. Growth reflects the significant reduction in cost of funds, which has declined more rapidly than the yield on interest-earning assets.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $46.1 million and $63.3 million, respectively, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, representing an increase of 592.5% and 308.0% when compared to the corresponding periods ended June 30, 2008. Core banking and financial service revenues increased 19.4% and 2.8% when compared to the corresponding quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2008. In addition, the Group took advantage of market conditions during the quarter to realize gains on: (i) sales of securities of $10.5 million, (ii) derivative activities of $19.4 million, and (iii) trading activities of 15.0 million. Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses of $22.2 million and $41.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to $18.1 million and $35.8 million, respectively, in the year ago periods, resulting in an efficiency ratio of 57.29% and 54.53%, respectively, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009 (compared to 51.82% and 53.20% in the year-ago periods). Non-interest expense were negatively affected by approximately $2.9 million, representing the increase in the Group's insurance expense corresponding to the industry-wide FDIC special assessment on insured depository institutions and payable on September 30, 2009.

Mortgage loan production for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, totaled $63.9 million and $131.8 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of 15.9% for the quarter and a 5.2% increase for the six-month period. Interest Bearing Liabilities
Total deposits amounted to $1.852 billion at June 30, 2009, an increase of 3.8% compared to $1.785 billion at December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased retail deposits, particularly in demand deposit accounts. Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2009, was $359.6 million, compared to $261.3 million at December 31, 2008, mainly reflecting increased earnings in the six-month period.
The Group's capital ratios remain above regulatory capital requirements, with risk-based capital ratios above regulatory capital adequacy guidelines. At June 30, 2009, Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 7.31% (1.8 times the minimum of 4.00%), Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 14.62% (3.7 times the minimum of 4.00%), and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 15.13% (1.9 times the minimum of 8.00%).
Due to the initial adoption of FSP FAS 115-2, the Group reclassified the noncredit-related portion of an other-than-temporary impairment loss previously recognized in earnings in the third quarter of 2008 for an amount of $14.4 million that increased retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss. This reclassification had a positive impact on regulatory capital ratios and no impact on tangible equity.

Financial Service-Banking Franchise
The Group's niche market approach to the integrated delivery of services to mid and high net worth clients performed well, as it expanded market share based on its service proposition and capital strength, as opposed to using rates to attract loans or deposits.
Lending
Total loan production of $73.5 million remained strong, as the Group's capital levels and low credit losses, compared to most banking institutions, enabled it to continue prudent lending. The average FICO score was 722 and the average loan to value ratio was 81% on residential mortgage loans originated in the quarter. The Group sells most of its conforming mortgages into the secondary market, but retains servicing rights. Mortgage banking activities on a sequential quarter basis reflect the continued high level of originations as well as its growing servicing portfolio, a source of recurring revenue. Deposits
Growth in retail deposits during the quarter primarily reflects a $121.1 million increase in savings and demand deposits. At the same time, Oriental also reduced brokered deposits by $42.7 million
Assets Under Management
Assets under management, which generate recurring fees, increased 5.23% from March 31, 2009, to $2.85 billion. This growth, plus the Group's participation in the selling of Puerto Rico's COFINA II bonds, resulted in the sequential increase in financial service revenues.
Credit Quality
Net credit losses declined by 11.42%, to $2.1 million (0.70% of average loans outstanding), from $2.3 million (0.78%), in the previous quarter. The Group increased its provision for loan losses to $3.7 million (176% of net credit losses), from $3.2 million in the previous quarter, resulting in a $16.7 million allowance at June 30, 2009, up 10.37% from the previous quarter.
Non-performing loans (NPLs) increased $3.3 million in the quarter. The Group's NPLs generally reflect the economic environment in Puerto Rico. Based on historical performance, however, the Group does not expect non-performing loans to result in significantly higher losses as most are well-collateralized with adequate loan-to-value ratios. In residential mortgage lending, more than 90% of the Group's portfolio consists of fixed-rate, fully amortizing, fully documented loans that do not have the level of risk generally associated with subprime loans. In commercial lending, more than 90% of its loans are collateralized by real estate.
The Investment Securities Portfolio
The average balance of the investment securities portfolio was $5.0 billion, up 4.7% from the year ago quarter and up 0.38% from the previous quarter. Yield declined slightly due to higher prepayments in the first half of the quarter. Approximately 87% of the portfolio consists of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities or notes, guaranteed or issued by FNMA, FHLMC, or GNMA and U.S. agency senior debt obligations, backed by a U.S. government sponsored entity or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (86%), and Puerto Rico Government and agency obligations (1%). The remaining balance consists of non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (10%), the majority of which are backed by prime fixed-rate residential mortgage collateral, and structured credit investments (3%).
Subsequent Event
Subsequent to June 30, 2009, as part of its general banking and asset and liability management strategies, the Group executed a $200 million deleverage of its balance sheet at the holding company level by terminating certain repurchase agreements at a cost of approximately $17.5 million (before income taxes). This transaction increases the Group's financial flexibility, creates additional liquidity, and helps to offset the Group's income tax liability.
