Investment Portfolio

As of March 31, 2010 our investment portfolio had a balance of $1,944 million, excluding $42 million in unrealized marked to-market gains. This investment portfolio consisted of $1,273 million of investments and mortgage-backed securities, $441 million of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), $187 million of municipal bonds, $26 million of corporate investments and $17 million of other investments including tax credit investments. No investment position was considered other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) as of March 31, 2010.

Of these non-agency CMOs, three positions for $64 million (with an unrealized loss of $4.0 million) are considered at-risk for future OTTI, while the remaining $76 million (with an unrealized loss of $163,000) are all AAA-rated.

Internal Loan Portfolio Analysis

As of December 31, 2009, Sterling had $277 million in Tier 1 capital, $512 million in risk-based capital, $10,528 million in tangible assets and $7,453 million in risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2009, we had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 2.61% compared to a median of 9.13% for our peers, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 3.73% compared to a median of 12.35% for our peers and total risk-based capital of 6.87% compared to a median of 14.28% for our peers. (For this purpose, peers include all depository institutions with $7 billion to $25 billion in assets per SNL Financial. Peer group data is as of December 31, 2009.)

The following is an analysis of our capital position, based on the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (the “SCAP”) implemented by the Federal Reserve Board, commonly referred to as the bank “stress test.” SCAP reviewed the near-term capital needs of the 19 largest U.S. bank holding companies. Sterling was not among the bank holding companies that the Federal Reserve reviewed under SCAP, but we conducted an analysis of our capital position using many of the SCAP loss rates to estimate our loan losses over the next two years under a baseline and more adverse scenarios. Below is a table of estimated loan losses using loan portfolio balances as of December 31, 2009 applying publicly available loss rates developed under SCAP for both baseline and more adverse scenarios.

Sterling has also calculated its capital position on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proceeds from and issuance and conversion of certain securities that may be issued and after deducting $40 million of related fees and expenses. These calculations assume a target ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to risk-weighted assets of 1.5%; a pay down of $275 million of liabilities; average leveraged assets increase by 50% of net proceeds after pay down of liabilities; a tax rate of 35% with no tax loss carryforward; a cumulative pre-tax, pre-provision income of $241 million, which is our cumulative 2008-2009 pre-tax, pre-provision income net of goodwill impairment charges and $4.2 million of Q1 2010 pre-tax, pre-provision income; and our balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, including tangible assets and risk-weighted assets, holds constant.

The pro forma losses and capital position that can be calculated based on the foregoing assumptions are not intended to represent Sterling’s forecasted or estimated losses or capital position on any date.
