The second presentation consists of a one-page summary of various Company rankings among thrifts in the U.S. and the New York Metro Region; the five-year annual growth rates of its assets, multi-family loan originations, core deposits, and earnings; and the growth in the Company’s market capitalization since November 23, 1993.
