Appendix
21 Non - Qualified Mortgage Overview • Title XIV of Dodd - Frank governs the ATM/QM Rule, which clearly defines the loan characteristics required for a loan to be considered a “qualified mortgage”: 1. Loan must be fully - amortizing (no interest - only, negative amortization or other risky loan features), with a loan term that does not exceed 360 months 2. Loan must have a debt - to - income ratio that does not exceed 43%, unless the loan qualifies for delivery to one of the GSEs with acceptable AUS findings (the “QM Patch”) 3. The points and fees charged on the loan must not exceed 3%, unless the loan amount is less than $102,894 4. The Loan must meet the definition of the Ability - to - Repay rule , which consists of eight underwriting rules that are used to determine if the borrower has enough income to cover its debts • We believe many lenders are quick to incorrectly equate non - QM loans to subprime loans • QM definition is extremely narrow • Most of our non - QM loans fall marginally outside of this narrow definition Non - Qualified Mortgage Description MetroCity’s Approach to Underwriting Non - QM Loans • Verify the borrower’s income, employment, and assets in accordance with strict internal underwriting standards and procedures that meet the Ability - to - Repay rule • With respect to each mortgage loan, in order to test the reasonableness of the borrower’s income, we use: 1. T ranscripts received from the IRS pursuant to a filing of IRS Form 4506 T (to the extent specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule ), when available 2. P ublic and/or commercially available information 3. W - 2s and paystubs 4. W ritten verification of employment 5. L etters of profit and loss statements from certified public accountants

25 Non - GAAP Reconciliation Some of the financial measures included in this presentation are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. Our management uses the non - GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of our performance . • “Tangible common equity” is defined as total shareholders’ equity reduced by other intangible assets . Management does not consider loan servicing rights as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. The Company did not have goodwill or outstanding preferred stock during the presented periods. • “ Tangible assets” is defined as total assets reduced by other intangible assets. Management does not consider loan servicing rights as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation. The Company did not have goodwill during the presented periods. • “ Tangible common equity to tangible assets” is calculated as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. This measure is important to investors interested in relative changes in the ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. • “Adjusted allowance for loan losses to gross loans” and “adjusted net charge - offs to average loans” exclude the impact of our re maining auto loan pools on “allowance for loan losses to gross loans” and “net charge - offs to average loans,” respectively.
