         Interest Rate Sensitivity  15  > We believe static interest rate results do not accurately reflect true interest rate sensitivityDue to historically predictable weekly and monthly deposit volatility, IRR results can be significantly skewed based on which day of the week the model is implementedUtilizing quarterly average balances for deposits and borrowings, with cash as the offset, provides a truer picture of the Company’s IRR positionUnderstanding the predictable cyclicality of balance sheet on weekly, monthly, and yearly basis is necessary to interpret interest rate risk resultsMPS related non-interest bearing deposit value will be unlocked if interest rates rise
