Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement

The Company is making this statement in order to satisfy the “Safe Harbor” provision contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements contained in this report on Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations concerning future events affecting the Company and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and economic environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual results of the Company to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: changes in general economic, market and regulatory conditions; the development of an interest rate environment that may adversely affect the Company’s net interest income; fluctuations in other income or cash flow anticipated from the Company’s operations, investments or lending activities; the termination of a servicing agreement with Intervest National Bank as of December 31, 2008; and changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company.

General

Intervest Mortgage Corporation’s business has historically focused on the origination of first mortgage and junior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multifamily real estate properties. It has also provided loan origination services to Intervest National Bank or “the Bank”, an affiliated entity and it has received fee income in connection with those services. Intervest Mortgage Corporation has funded its lending business through the issuance of subordinated debentures in public offerings. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intervest Bancshares Corporation, which is also the parent company of Intervest National Bank. Intervest Mortgage Corporation is hereafter referred to as the “Company”. The principal office of the Company is located at One Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 400, New York, New York 10020-2002, and its telephone number is 212-218-2800.

Since early 2007, competitive market conditions and lower pricing for new loans have decreased the Company’s loan originations significantly from its historical levels, and only one loan was originated in 2008. As a result the Company has been applying the proceeds from loan repayments to redeem its outstanding debentures, in many cases prior to contractual maturity. To the extent that current market conditions continue to exist, it is likely that the level of the Company’s loan originations will continue to be relatively modest, if any, and it is likely the Company will continue to apply the proceeds received from its maturing loans and the sale of loans, including sales to its affiliate, Intervest National Bank, to the repayment of its outstanding debentures.

In light of the significant reduction in loan originations by the Company in recent years, effective as of January 1, 2009, the employees of the Company have become employees of Intervest National Bank and such employees will continue to provide loan origination services consistent with past practice. The ongoing requirements of the Company, including any origination services that it may require, will be performed by

the same personnel and the Company will reimburse Intervest National Bank for the cost of such services on a monthly basis.

To the extent that current market conditions continue to exist, it is likely that the level of loan originations will continue to be relatively modest and the Company will likely continue to apply the proceeds received from maturing loans to the repayment of outstanding debentures. Even if loan originations do not return to historical levels, the Company has sources of funds sufficient to satisfy its maturing liabilities. The Company will continue to closely monitor market trends to determine if additional loan originations or other real estate activities, consistent with the Company’s overall goals and objectives, are appropriate for pursuit.

Intervest Bancshares Corporation (which is a financial holding company and hereafter referred to as the “Parent Company”) owns 100% of the capital stock of the Company. The Company’s chairman and secretary are also officers and directors of the Parent Company. The Company’s chairman is also a principal shareholder of the Parent Company. In addition to Intervest Mortgage Corporation, the Parent Company also owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Intervest National Bank (a national bank with its headquarters and full-service banking office in Rockefeller Center, New York, and six full-service banking offices in Florida, including four in Clearwater, Florida, one in Clearwater Beach, Florida and one in South Pasadena, Florida).

The Company’s business is significantly influenced by the movement of interest rates and general economic conditions, particularly those in the New York City metropolitan area where most of the properties that secure its mortgage loans are concentrated.

Market Area and Competition

The Company’s lending activities have been concentrated in the New York City metropolitan region. The Company also has loans in other states, including Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky and New Jersey.

In originating mortgage loans, the Company experiences significant competition from banks, investment bankers, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, pension funds, real estate investment trusts, limited partnerships and other lenders and investors. Most of these competitors also have significantly greater financial and marketing resources. An increase in the general availability of funds may increase competition in the making of investments in mortgages and real property, and may reduce the yields available from such investments.

Lending Activities

The Company’s lending activities include both long-term and short-term mortgage loans on real estate properties, including multifamily residential apartment buildings, office buildings, vacant land, marinas, warehouses, shopping centers, hotels, restaurants and garages. The Company also may acquire or originate mortgage loans on other types of properties, and may resell mortgages. The Company neither originates any single family loans or one-to-four family loans or one-to-four family sub prime mortgage loans nor invests in any securities backed or derived through such loans. However, the Company, may be adversely affected by conditions in the one-to-four family home or sub prime mortgage market.

At December 31, 2008, the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio consisted of thirty-six (36) loans in an aggregate principal amount of $51,105,000, compared to $96,043,000 at December 31, 2007. At December 31,

2008, $24,132,000 or thirteen (13) loans were collateralized by multi-family apartment buildings located in New York City. These loans represent approximately 47% of the total mortgage loan portfolio.

In reviewing loan applications, the Company analyzes relevant real property and financial factors, which may include factors such as: the condition and use of the subject property; marketability and value of the subject property; the property’s income-producing capacity; and the quality of, lending experience with and creditworthiness of the borrower. The Company also considers the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar properties. The Company requires that all mortgaged properties be covered by property insurance in amounts deemed adequate in the opinion of management. In addition, representatives of the Company, as part of the approval process, make physical inspections of properties being considered for mortgage loans.

The Company has not had formal policies regarding the type of mortgage loans and investments it can make, the geographic location of properties collateralizing those mortgages or limits on the amounts loaned to one borrower, loan-to-value ratios or debt service coverage ratios. The Company uses a guideline that limits the amount that it may invest in any single mortgage to 10% of its assets. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the lending policies similar to policies of our affiliate, Intervest National Bank. As a result, all potential loans are appraised and now have debt service ratio guidelines. The Company has a loan committee and a formal loan approval process. The loan committee is comprised of three members of the Board of Directors, one of whom is the Chairman.

Mortgage loans originated and acquired are solicited directly by the Company’s officers, from existing borrowers, through advertising and from broker referrals. From time to time, the Company participates with Intervest National Bank in certain mortgage loans receivable. One of the Company’s loans, representing approximately 12% of the principal balance of the Company’s portfolio is participation with Intervest National Bank.

The Company’s mortgage loans typically provide for periodic payments of interest and a portion of the principal during the term of the mortgage, with the remaining principal balance and any accrued interest due at the maturity date. Mortgages owned by the Company generally provide for balloon payments at maturity, which means that a substantial part or the entire original principal amount is due in one lump sum payment at maturity. Thirty-three (33) of the mortgage loans in the Company’s portfolio, representing approximately 99% of the principal balance of the Company’s portfolio, have balloon payments due at the time of their maturity. If the net revenue from the property is not sufficient to make all debt service payments due on the mortgage, or if at maturity or the due date of any balloon payment, the owner of the property fails to raise the funds (by refinancing, sale or otherwise) to make the lump sum payment, the Company could sustain a loss on its investment in the mortgage. To the extent that the aggregate net revenues from the Company’s mortgage investments are insufficient to provide funds equal to the payments due under the Company’s debt obligations, then the Company would be required to utilize its working capital for such purposes or otherwise obtain the necessary funds from outside sources. No assurance can be given that such funds would be available to the Company. The Company’s mortgage loans are often not personal obligations of the borrower and are not insured or guaranteed by governmental agencies.

The Company’s mortgage loans include first mortgage loans and junior mortgage loans. The junior mortgages are subordinate in right of payment to senior mortgages on the various properties securing the loans. At December 31, 2008, the Company’s loan portfolio has ten (10) junior mortgages. The Bank has a first mortgage on properties securing eight (8) of these loans. To the extent that the a property is located in New York State and no there are no additional mortgages on a property, the Company can participate in the

proceeds of a forced sale of the property where the first mortgage is held by the Bank. To the extent that such proceeds are sufficient, the Company will neither be required to institute a separate foreclosure proceeding nor be required to await the outcome of a separate surplus money proceeding.

Many of the Company’s mortgages are non-recourse. It is expected that many mortgages that the Company originates in the future will be non-recourse mortgages as well. Under the terms of non-recourse mortgages, the owner of the property subject to the mortgage has no personal obligation to pay the mortgage note which the mortgage secures. Therefore, in the event of default, the Company’s ability to recover its investment is dependent upon the value of the mortgaged property, as well as the balances of any loans secured by mortgages and liens that are senior in right to the Company, which must be paid from the net proceeds of any foreclosure proceeding. Any loss the Company may incur as a result of the foregoing factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

At December 31, 2008: two of the mortgages in the Company’s portfolio (representing approximately 8% of the principal balance in the Company’s portfolio) allowed recourse against the mortgagor only with respect to liabilities related to tenant security deposits; fourteen (14) of the mortgages (representing approximately 32% of the principal balance in the Company’s portfolio) allowed recourse against the mortgagor only with respect to liabilities relating to tenant security deposits, proceeds from insurance policies, losses arising under environmental laws and losses resulting from waste or acts of malfeasance; eighteen (18) loans (representing approximately 60% of the portfolio), are full recourse where payment and performance by third parties is guaranteed and two (2) loans were without recourse. As to those mortgage loans which limit the scope of the borrowers recourse, all such mortgage loans are guaranteed by third parties, with such guaranties covering only the limited scope of the obligation of the borrower under such mortgage.

The Company charges loan origination fees on the mortgage loans it originates based on a percentage of the principal amount of the loan. These fees are normally comprised of a fee that is received from the borrower at the time the loan is originated and another fee that is contractually due when the loan is repaid. The total fees, net of related direct loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loans as an adjustment to the loan’s yield. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $167,000 of net unearned loan fees and $211,000 of loan fees receivable.

Many of the Company’s mortgage loans include provisions relating to prepayment and others prohibit prepayment of indebtedness entirely or for a fixed period of time. When a mortgage loan is repaid prior to maturity, the Company may recognize prepayment income, which consists of the recognition of unearned fees associated with such loans at the time of payoff and the receipt of additional prepayment fees and interest in certain cases. This interest may include lockout (or penalty) interest when the borrower prepays a loan prior to the date specified by the terms of the mortgage. In such cases, the borrower pays interest from the prepayment date through the lockout date. Occasionally, the default interest rate is imposed when a borrower has not entered into a formal extension for the period between maturity and payoff. The amount and timing of, as well as income from loan prepayments, if any, cannot be predicted and can fluctuate significantly. Normally, the number of instances of prepayment of mortgage loans tends to increase during periods of declining interest rates and tends to decrease during periods of increasing interest rates. Of the thirty-six (36) mortgages in the Company’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2008: three (3) allow prepayment without a fee payment; two (2) prohibit prepayment; three (3) permit prepayment only after passage of a specific period with fees ranging from 0.5% up to 5% of the original principal amount; and twenty-eight (28) permit prepayment after payment of fees ranging from 0.25% up to 4% of the original principal balance. The Company earned prepayment income from the early repayment of loans of $793,000 in 2008, $456,000 in 2007 and $384,000 in 2006.

Real Estate Investing Activities

The Company may purchase equity interests in real property or acquire such equity interests pursuant to a foreclosure of a mortgage or a deed in lieu of foreclosure in the normal course of business, as a result of which the Company may acquire and retain title to properties either directly or through a subsidiary. At December 31, 2008, the Company owned one property obtained at a foreclosure sale during the third quarter of 2008. Except for any pending foreclosures, no other such transactions are presently pending. Although the Company has not previously made acquisitions of real property, senior management has had substantial experience in the acquisition and management of properties.

Temporary Investment Activities

The Company has historically invested its excess cash (after meeting its lending commitments and scheduled repayments of borrowed funds) in short term commercial paper and certificate of deposits issued by large commercial banks and U.S. government securities. The level of such investments fluctuates based on various factors, including liquidity needs, loan demand and scheduled repayments of debentures. Cash and short-term investments at December 31, 2008 amounted to $19,949,000, compared to $12,682,000 at December 31, 2007. During 2008, such investments ranged from $6,990,000 to $31,990,000 and generally did not exceed one week in duration.

Asset Quality

The Company considers asset quality to be of primary importance to its business and has procedures in place designed to mitigate the risks associated with its lending activities.

After a loan is originated, various steps are undertaken (such as a physical inspection of the subject property on an annual basis and periodic reviews of loan files in order to monitor loan documentation and the value of the property securing the loan) with the objective of quickly identifying, evaluating and initiating corrective actions if necessary. The Company also engages in the constant monitoring of the payment status of its outstanding loans and pursues a timely follow-up on any delinquencies, including initiating collection procedures when necessary. Late fees are assessed on delinquent loan payments.

All loans are subject to the risk of default, otherwise known as credit risk, which represents the possibility of the Company not recovering amounts due from its borrowers. A borrower’s ability to make payments due under a mortgage loan is dependent upon the risks associated with real estate investments in general, including the following: general or local economic conditions in the areas the properties are located, neighborhood values, interest rates, real estate tax rates, operating expenses of the mortgaged properties, supply of and demand for rental units, supply of and demand for properties, ability to obtain and maintain adequate occupancy of the properties, zoning laws, governmental rules, environmental hazards, regulations and fiscal policies. Additionally, terrorist acts and armed conflicts, such as the war on terrorism, and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, may have an adverse impact on economic conditions. Economic conditions affect the market value of the mortgaged properties underlying the Company’s loans as well as the levels of rent and occupancy of income-producing properties.

Loan concentrations are defined as amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or on properties located in a particular geographic area. The Company’s loan portfolio has historically been concentrated in multifamily and commercial real estate mortgage loans (including land loans). The properties underlying the Company’s mortgages are also concentrated in New York State (80%). Many of the New

York properties are located in New York City and are subject to rent control and rent stabilization laws, which limit the ability of the property owners to increase rents. As such, these properties, are not affected by the general movement of real estate values in the same manner as other income-producing properties. Many of the properties securing the Company’s loans are located in sections of the cities in its market areas that are being revitalized or redeveloped.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. In addition, all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed through a charge to interest income. While loans are on nonaccrual status, interest income is normally recognized only to the extent cash is received until a return to accrual status is warranted. In some circumstances, interest continues to accrue on mortgage loans that have matured and the borrower continues to make monthly payments of principal and interest.

Nonaccrual loans decreased to $8,292,000 (16% of the Company’s portfolio) at December 31, 2008, from $28,370,000 at December 31, 2007 and are summarized as follows:

(1)

Represents one loan ($15.1 million) originated by Intervest National Bank in which the Company owns a $6,034,000 participation. The loan is secured by a waterfront hotel, restaurant and marina resort. Foreclosure proceedings are in progress but remain stayed by reason of a bankruptcy filing. The debtor has filed an adverse proceeding contesting the Company’s claim

(2)	These five loans (totaling $18,378,000) were to borrowers with common principals. These loans were repaid in September of 2008. All outstanding principal and related principal balances were repaid along with $1,194,000 of past due interest.

(3)	Title to the property securing this loan was acquired through a bankruptcy sale in September of 2008 and this property is now classified as Foreclosed real estate. The Company is currently marketing the property for sale.

(4)	Placed on nonaccrual status in December, 2007. Foreclosure proceedings are in process.

(5)	Borrower has requested and the Company has agreed to the deferral of contractual loan payments to give the borrower time to lease vacant space at the property. The borrower will continue to make monthly escrow payments to the extent hereafter negotiated with the borrower.

(6)	Placed on nonaccrual status in November, 2008. Foreclosure proceedings are in process

Nonaccrual loans are considered impaired under the criteria of SFAS No.114 “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15”. The Company’s recorded investment in these impaired loans was $7,884,000 and $28,429,000 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008, nonaccrual loans had a specific valuation allowance of $411,000 (included as part of the overall allowance for loan losses) in accordance with SFAS 114. A specific valuation allowance was not maintained at any time during 2007. Estimated loan-to-value ratios, net of specific valuation allowances on nonaccrual (impaired) loans ranged from 65% to 99% at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no other loans classified as impaired.

Estimates of fair value of the collateral properties is determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s senior lending officer (the Chairman of the Company) related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. The senior lending officer takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located when assessing estimates of fair value. Determination of the need for updating appraisals, where practical, is made on a loan-by-loan basis.

Loans totaling $1,964,000 and $839,000 were classified as ninety days past due and still accruing interest at December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The loan that was ninety days past due and still accruing interest at December 31, 2008 continues to be current with its monthly payments. The borrower has provided the Company with a contract for sale of the property and it is anticipated that this loan will be repaid in the first half of 2009. The loan that was ninety days past due and still accruing interest at December 31, 2007 was paid in full as the result of a replacement loan from Intervest National Bank.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had $2,327,000 of foreclosed real estate. This consists of one property, a commercial property in Brooklyn, New York that was acquired during the third quarter of 2008. The Company did not own foreclosed real estate at any time during 2007. Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold. Upon foreclosure of the property, the related loan is transferred from the loan portfolio to foreclosed real estate at the lower of the loan’s carrying value at the date of transfer, or estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs. Such amount becomes the new cost basis of the property. Adjustments made to the carrying value at the time of transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs market valuations and the real estate is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance of the property are included in general and administrative expense in the statements of income. There was no valuation allowance for foreclosed properties at anytime during 2008.

Allowance for Loan Losses

A detailed discussion of the factors and estimates used in computing the allowance for loan losses can be found under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in this report on Form 10-K. During the last five years, the Company has not experienced a loss from its lending activities. There can be no assurance however, that a downturn in real estate values or local economic conditions, as well as other factors, would not have an adverse impact on the Company’s asset quality and future level of nonperforming assets, chargeoffs and profitability.

Sources of Funds

The Company’s principal sources of funds for investing consist of borrowings (through the issuance of its debentures to the public), mortgage repayments and cash flow generated from operations. From time to time, the Company has also received capital contributions from the Parent Company. At December 31, 2008, Intervest Mortgage Corporation had debentures outstanding of $40,000,000, compared to $76,250,000 at December 31, 2007. Since early 2007, competitive market conditions and lower pricing for new loans have decreased the Company’s loan originations significantly from its historical levels, and only one loan was originated in 2008. As a result, the Company has been applying the proceeds from loan repayments to redeem its outstanding debentures, in many cases prior to contractual maturity. The Company repaid an additional $20,000,000 of debentures on January 1, 2009 and February 1, 2009 which was funded by cash on hand and loan repayments. An additional repayment of $6,000,000 of debentures is scheduled for March 1, 2009.

Servicing Agreement

The Company had a servicing agreement with Intervest National Bank to provide origination services to the Bank in exchange for a monthly fee that was based on loan origination volumes. The services included: the identification of potential properties and borrowers; the inspection of properties constituting collateral for such loans; the negotiation of the terms and conditions of such loans in accordance with Intervest National Bank’s underwriting standards; and coordinating the preparation of commitment letters and the loan closing process. The Company earned $2,897,000, $4,099,000 and $5,299,000 for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with this agreement. Such services were performed by Company personnel and the expenses associated with the performance of such services were borne by the Company.

In light of the significant reduction in loan originations by the Company in recent years, the servicing agreement was terminated and effective January 1, 2009, the employees of the Company became employees of Intervest National Bank and will continue to provide loan origination services consistent with past practice. The ongoing requirements of the Company, including any origination services that it may require, will be performed by the same personnel and the Company will reimburse Intervest National Bank for the cost of such services on a monthly basis.

Employees

At December 31, 2008, the Company employed 16 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 17 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2007. The Company provided various benefit plans, including group life, health and a 401(k) Plan. None of the Company’s employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and the Company believes employee relations are good. As discussed above, commencing January 1, 2009, all Company employees have been transferred to Intervest National Bank and will continue to provide loan origination services consistent with past practice.

Federal and State Taxation

The Company files consolidated Federal, New York State and New York City income tax returns with its Parent Company on a calendar year basis. Consolidated returns have the effect of eliminating intercompany distributions, including dividends, from the computation of consolidated taxable income for the taxable year in which the distributions occur. In accordance with an income tax sharing agreement, income tax charges or credits are for financial reporting purposes allocated among the Parent Company and its subsidiaries on the basis of their respective taxable income or taxable loss that is included in the consolidated income tax return.

Subsidiary

During 2008, the Company formed a 100 percent owned subsidiary named Touchstone Holding LLC. This subsidiary owns the foreclosed real estate property that the Company acquired in 2008.Net expenses relating to the operation of this subsidiary are recorded as expenses and reported as part of other expenses in the company’ Statement of Operations. The value of the property is recorded in the Company’s Balance Sheet as Foreclosed real estate. The Company did not have any other subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Effect of Government Regulation

As a subsidiary of a financial holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, The activities of the Company are subject to some oversight by the Federal Reserve Board.

Investment in mortgages on real properties may be affected by government regulation in several ways. Residential properties may be subject to rent control and rent stabilization laws. As a consequence, the owner of the property may be restricted in its ability to raise the rents on apartments. If real estate taxes, fuel costs and maintenance of and repairs to the property were to increase substantially, and such increases are not offset by increases in rental income, the ability of the owner of the property to make the payments due on the mortgage as and when they are due might be adversely affected.

Laws and regulations relating to asbestos have been adopted in many jurisdictions, including New York City, which require that whenever any work is undertaken in a property in an area in which asbestos is present, the asbestos must be removed or encapsulated in accordance with such applicable local and federal laws and regulations. The cost of asbestos removal or encapsulation may be substantial, and if there were not sufficient cash flow from the property, after debt service on mortgages, to fund the required work, and the owner of the property fails to fund such work from other sources, the value of the property could be adversely affected, with consequent impairment of the security for the mortgage.

Laws regulating the storage, disposal and clean up of hazardous or toxic substances at real property have been adopted at the federal, state and local levels. Such laws may impose a lien on the real property superior to any mortgages on the property and may extend to the cost of remediation of hazardous conditions in compliance with environmental laws. In the event such a lien was imposed on any property which serves as security for a mortgage owned by the Company, the security for such mortgage could be impaired.

The lending business of the Company is regulated by federal, state and, in certain cases, local laws. These laws prohibit various discriminatory practices in lending and may also restrict creditors from obtaining certain types of information from loan applicants. Violations of applicable laws can result in fines, penalties and other remedies.

The Company is also subject to various other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations governing, among other things, the licensing of mortgage lenders and servicers. The Company must comply with procedures mandated for mortgage lenders and servicers, and must provide disclosures to certain borrowers. Failure to comply with these laws, as well as with the laws described above, may result in civil and criminal liability, termination or suspension of licenses, rights of rescission for mortgage loans, lawsuits and/or administrative enforcement actions.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Intervest” refer to Intervest Mortgage Corporation, unless otherwise specified. References to the “Bank” refer to Intervest National Bank who, like us, is a subsidiary of our Parent Company, Intervest Bancshares Corporation.

The following risk factors contain important information about us and our business and should be read in their entirety. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we now believe to be not material could also impair our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer significantly.

We depend on a small number of our executive officers and other key employees to implement our business strategy and our business may suffer if we lose their services.

Our success is largely dependent on the business expertise and relationships of a small number of our executive officers and other key employees. Currently, Mr. Lowell S. Dansker serves as our only officer with significant real estate lending experience and he makes all of our underwriting and lending decisions. If his services were to become unavailable for any reason, our growth, operations and performance may be adversely affected because of: his skills and knowledge of the markets in which we operate, years of real estate lending experience, standing and contacts in the brokerage community and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.

The Board of Directors of the Parent Company has a formal management succession plan for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. The plan identifies internal officers to perform executive officer functions in connection with any temporary change in executive officers due to such things as illnesses or leaves of absence. The plan also describes the procedures to be followed in connection with the selection of permanent replacements, if any, for key officers. There can be no assurance that such plan would be effective in identifying or retaining qualified replacement personal.

Credit markets and economic conditions could adversely affect our liquidity.

Global market and economic conditions continue to be disrupted and are volatile. The sub-prime mortgage meltdown, frozen credit markets, inactive markets for certain securities and the negative effects of mark-to-market accounting in illiquid markets have taken a huge toll on banks, other non-financial institutions, real estate values, consumers and the general economy. Many long-standing companies in the United States of America have both failed and disappeared or have been forced to merge overnight with other institutions. The Federal Reserve has provided vast amounts of liquidity into the banking system to compensate for weaknesses in short-term borrowing markets and other capital markets during 2008. A reduction in these activities or capacity could reduce liquidity in the markets further, thereby increasing our funding costs or reducing the availability of funds for us to finance our existing operations. We have been and remain a well capitalized institution and have not suffered any liquidity issues as a result of these recent events to date. However, there can be no assurance that illiquid credit markets in general may adversely affect the future cost and availability of funds to us.

Nonperforming loans have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had $8,292,000 of nonaccrual loans, which represented approximately 16% of the Company’s loan portfolio. At December 31, 2008, nonaccrual loans had a specific valuation allowance of $411,000 (included as part of the overall allowance for loan losses) in accordance with SFAS 114. There can be no assurance that the Company will recover all of its investment in those loans. Since the Company does not accrue interest on its nonperforming assets, moreover, an increase in nonperforming loans would have an adverse impact on the Company’s net income and cash flow.

Our loans are highly concentrated in commercial real estate and multifamily mortgage loans, increasing the risk associated with our loan portfolio.

All of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial real estate and multifamily mortgage loans, including loans on substantially vacant properties and vacant land. This concentration increases the risk associated with our loan portfolio. Commercial real estate and multifamily loans are generally considered riskier than many other kinds of loans, like single family residential real estate loans, since these loans tend to involve larger loan balances to single borrowers and repayment of loans secured by income-producing property is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the underlying real estate. Additionally, loans on vacant land typically do not have income streams and depend upon other sources of cash flow from the borrower for repayment. Our average real estate loan size was $1,420,000 at December 31, 2008. Regardless of the underwriting criteria we utilize, losses may be experienced as a result of various factors beyond our control, including, among other things, changes in market and economic conditions affecting the value of our loan collateral and problems affecting the credit and business of our borrowers.

Investments in junior mortgages may be riskier than investments in senior mortgages.

As of December 31, 2008, we owned ten (10) junior mortgages, and we may originate or acquire additional junior mortgages in the future. The Bank has a first mortgage on eight (8) of the properties securing these loans. Our junior mortgages constitute approximately 10% of the aggregate principal amount of our mortgages. In the event the owner of mortgaged property securing a junior mortgage owned by us defaults on a senior mortgage secured by the property, the holder of the senior mortgage may independently commence foreclosure proceedings. In the event this occurs, there can be no assurance that we will have funds available to cure the default, assuming this would be our desired course of action, in order to prevent foreclosure. If there is a foreclosure on the senior mortgage, as the owner of the junior mortgage we will be entitled to share in liquidation proceeds only after all amounts due to senior lienholders have been fully paid. Actual proceeds available for distribution upon foreclosure may be insufficient to pay all sums due on the senior mortgage, other senior liens and on our junior mortgage, and the costs and fees associated with such foreclosure.

Recovery of non-recourse mortgages is limited to the property itself.

Many of our mortgages are non-recourse or limited recourse. It is expected that many mortgages that we originate in the future will be non-recourse or limited recourse as well. In addition, our mortgages are primarily on multifamily residential properties and our mortgages are not insured by any governmental agency. Therefore in the event of a default, our ability to recover our investment may be solely dependent upon the value of the mortgaged property and the outstanding principal and interest balances of any loans secured by mortgages and liens that are senior in right to us, which must be paid from the net proceeds of any foreclosure proceeding. Any loss we may incur as a result of the foregoing factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may compete with, and we do provide services to, our banking affiliates.

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intervest Bancshares Corporation, a financial holding company with one banking subsidiary (the “Bank”). The Bank also originates and acquires mortgages and, from time to time, we may compete with the Bank for mortgage opportunities. There are conflicts of interest inherent in all our dealings with our affiliates including:

•

our acquisition of mortgages from affiliates or sale of mortgages or mortgage interests to affiliates,

•

our retention of affiliates to perform services for us, including mortgage servicing,

•

our retention by affiliates to perform services for them, and

•

our affiliates being engaged in making loans involving properties that are similar to those underlying our mortgage loans.

It is unlikely that these conflicts will be resolved by arm’s-length bargaining.

We have not set aside funds to pay the debentures when they mature.

There is no sinking fund for retirement of our outstanding debentures at or prior to their maturity. We anticipate that principal and accrued interest on the debentures will be paid from our working capital, or from the proceeds of a refinancing of the debentures. However, no assurance can be given that we will have sufficient funds available to pay the debentures at maturity. The debentures are subordinated and unsecured obligations of ours. As a result, if we are unable to pay the debentures at their maturity, the ability of our debenture holders to recover the principal amount of the debentures and any outstanding interest may be limited by the terms and amount of our senior indebtedness and pari passu indebtedness.

We depend on brokers and other sources for our mortgage lending activities and any reduction in referrals could limit our access to the lending market.

We rely significantly on referrals from mortgage brokers for our loan originations. If those referrals were to decline or did not continue to expand, there can be no assurances that other sources of loan originations would be available.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

The requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations require an annual management report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, including, among other matters, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, our auditors would be required to report that our financial results cannot be produced with the desired degree of accuracy or to prevent fraud.

Our assets are heavily concentrated in mortgages on properties located in New York City, and accordingly our business and operations are more vulnerable to downturns in the economy of this concentrated geographic area.

At December 31, 2008, twenty-six (26) of the thirty-six (36) mortgage loans in our portfolio, representing approximately 73% of the principal balance of the portfolio were secured by properties in New York City. Of those, thirteen (13), representing approximately 47% of the principal balance of our portfolio were secured by multi-family properties. Many of these properties are subject to rent control and rent stabilization laws imposed in New York City, which limit the ability of the property owners to increase rents. This concentration in the number, type or location of our investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business will suffer if we do not continually identify and invest in mortgages.

Our business plan calls for us to invest most of our assets in mortgages. We may be unable to invest the optimum percentage of our assets because of a lack of available mortgages that meet our investment criteria. As a result, periodically, we may experience lower rates of return from investment of our assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Fluctuations in interest rates and credit terms could adversely affect our ability to collect on mortgage loans having balloon payment features.

Thirty-four (34) of the mortgage loans in our portfolio at December 31, 2008, representing approximately 99% of the principal balance of our portfolio have balloon payments due at the time of their maturity. We may originate or acquire additional mortgage loans that have balloon payments due at maturity. Volatile interest rates and/or erratic credit conditions and supply of available mortgage funds at the time these mortgage loans mature may cause refinancing by the borrowers to be difficult or impossible, regardless of the market value of the collateral at the time such balloon payments are due. In the event borrowers are unable to refinance these mortgage loans, or in the event borrowers are otherwise unable to make their balloon payments when they become due, such borrowers may default on their mortgage loans, which will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition may affect our ability to generate desired returns on our investments.

We experience significant competition from banks, investment bankers, insurance companies, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, pension funds, real estate investment trusts, limited partnerships and other lenders and investors engaged in purchasing mortgages or making real property investments with investment objectives similar in whole or in part to ours. An increase in the general availability of investment funds may increase competition in the making of investments in mortgages and real property. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial and marketing resources. These competitors may be able to offer more favorable credit terms to mortgagors simply because of their resources. Such competition may require that we alter our credit terms, including reduced origination fees, lower interest rates or less restrictive covenants, which may result in a reduction in our expected return on investments and increased exposure to defaults, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investments in mortgages and ownership of real property are susceptible to factors outside our control.

All mortgage loans are subject to some degree of risk, including the risk of default by a borrower on the mortgage loan. In addition, as the owner of a mortgage, we may have to foreclose on the mortgage to protect our investment and may thereafter operate the mortgaged property, in which case we are exposed to the risks inherent in the ownership of real estate. A borrower’s ability to make payments due under a mortgage loan, and the amount we, as mortgagee, may realize after a default, is dependent upon the risks associated with real estate investments generally, including:

•

general or local economic conditions,

•

neighborhood values,

•

interest rates,

•

real estate tax rates,

•

operating expenses of the mortgaged properties,

•

supply of and demand for rental units,

•

supply of and demand for properties,

•

ability to obtain and maintain adequate occupancy of the properties,

•

zoning laws,

•

environmental hazard,

•

governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies, and

•

acts of God

We have little or no control over these risks. We may experience in the future some or all of these risks, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain expenditures associated with real estate equity investments, principally real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are not necessarily decreased by events adversely affecting our income from such investments. Therefore, the cost of operating a real property may exceed the rental income earned from such property, and we may have to advance funds in order to protect our investment or we may be required to dispose of the real property at a loss. The above factors could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues, resulting in reduced levels of profitability.

If we are required to foreclose on mortgages, our return on investment may be less than we expected.

In the event we are required to foreclose on a mortgage or otherwise pursue our remedies in order to protect our investment, there can be no assurance that we will recover funds in an amount equal to our projected return on our investment or in an amount sufficient to prevent a loss to us.

Our business is affected by prevailing interest rates and the availability of funds.

The real estate industry in general and the kinds of investments which we make in particular may be affected by prevailing interest rates, the availability of funds and the generally prevailing economic environment. The direction of future interest rates and the willingness of financial institutions to make funds available for real estate financing in the future is difficult to predict. The real property underlying our mortgage loans will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions and the same factors associated with the ownership of real property, which may affect the ability to collect rent and the borrower’s ability to repay, respectively. We cannot predict what effect, if any, prevailing economic conditions will have on our ability to make mortgage loans or on the operations of the property subject to our investments.

Prepayments of mortgage loans could reduce expected returns on investment.

Although many of our mortgage loans include fees for prepayment, fluctuating interest rates may provide an incentive for borrowers to prepay their loans. If we are unable to reinvest the proceeds of such prepayments at the same or higher interest rates, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Any difficulty in accessing additional capital may prevent us from achieving our business objectives.

To the extent that our available working capital reserves are not sufficient to defray expenses and carrying costs which exceed our income, it will be necessary to attempt to borrow such amounts. Any required additional financing may be unavailable on terms favorable to us, or at all. If additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be forced to liquidate certain investments on terms which may not be favorable to us. We may also be unable to take advantage of investment opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

Compliance with environmental laws can be costly.

Federal and state statutes impose liability on property owners and operators for the clean-up or removal of hazardous substances found on their property. Courts have extended this liability to lenders who have obtained title to properties through foreclosure or have become involved in managing properties prior to obtaining title. In addition, these statutes allow the government to place liens for environmental liability against the affected properties, which liens are senior in priority to other liens, including mortgages against the properties. We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted. Enactment of more stringent laws or regulations or more strict interpretation of existing laws and regulations may require expenditures by us which may be material. We intend to monitor such laws and take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of such laws; however, there can be no assurance that we will be fully protected from the impact of such laws.

Political issues, including armed conflicts and acts of terrorism, may adversely affect our business.

Political issues, including armed conflicts and acts of terrorism, may have an adverse impact on economic conditions of the country as a whole and may be more pronounced in specific geographic regions. Economic conditions affect the market value of the mortgaged properties underlying the Company’s loans as well as the levels of rent and occupancy of income-producing properties. Since the properties underlying a high concentration of our mortgage loans are located in New York City, we may be more vulnerable to the adverse impact of such occurrences than other institutions.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations that follows should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-K.

Intervest Mortgage Corporation’s business focuses on the origination of first mortgage and junior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multifamily real estate properties. Through December 31, 2008, it also provided loan origination services to Intervest National Bank (“the Bank”). Intervest Mortgage Corporation has funded its lending business through the issuance of subordinated debentures in public offerings. Intervest Mortgage Corporation is hereafter referred to as the “Company”. The principal office of the Company is located at One Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 400, New York, New York 10020-2002, and its telephone number is 212-218-2800.

Intervest Bancshares Corporation (which is a financial holding company and hereafter referred to as the “Parent Company”) owns 100% of the capital stock of the Company. The Company’s chairman and secretary are also officers, and directors of the Parent Company. The Company’s chairman is also a principal shareholder of the Parent Company. In addition to Intervest Mortgage Corporation, the Parent Company also owns Intervest National Bank (a national bank with its headquarters and full-service banking office in Rockefeller Center, New York, and six full-service banking offices in Florida, including four in Clearwater, Florida, one in Clearwater Beach, Florida and one in South Pasadena, Florida

A significant portion of the Company’s income, in recent years, has been derived from non-interest income consisting of servicing agreement income from an affiliate company, Intervest National Bank. Through December 31, 2008, the Company had a servicing agreement with Intervest National Bank to provide origination services which include: the identification of potential properties and borrowers; the inspection of properties constituting collateral for such loans; the negotiation of the terms and conditions of such loans in accordance with the Intervest National Bank’s underwriting standards; preparing commitment letters and coordinating the loan closing process.

In light of the significant reduction in loan originations by the Company in recent years, effective as of January 1, 2009, the employees of the Company became employees of Intervest National Bank and will continue to provide loan origination services consistent with past practice. The ongoing requirements of the Company, including any origination services that it may require, will be performed by the same personnel and the Company will reimburse Intervest National Bank for the cost of such services on a monthly basis.

The Company’s lending activities consist of mortgage loans on real estate properties that mature within approximately five years, including multifamily residential apartment buildings, office buildings, commercial properties and vacant land. The Company also may acquire or originate mortgage loans on other types of properties, and may resell mortgages to third parties. No mortgage loans have been resold to third parties during the past five years.

Many of the properties collateralizing the loans in the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio are subject to applicable rent control and rent stabilization statutes and regulations. In both cases, any increases in rent are subject to specific limitations. As such, properties of the nature of those constituting a significant

portion of the Company’s mortgage portfolio are not affected by the general movement of real estate values in the same manner as other income-producing properties.

Many of the Company’s mortgage loans include provisions relating to prepayment and others prohibit prepayment of indebtedness entirely or for fixed periods of time. When a mortgage loan is repaid prior to maturity, the Company may recognize prepayment income, which consists largely of the recognition of unearned fees associated with such loans at the time of payoff and the receipt of prepayment fees and interest in certain cases. The amount and timing of, as well as income from, loan prepayments, if any, cannot be predicted and can fluctuate significantly. Normally, the number of instances of prepayment of mortgage loans tends to increase during periods of declining interest rates and tends to decrease during periods of increasing interest rates.

The Company’s profitability is affected by its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from its mortgage loans and income from investments and the interest expense, inclusive of amortization of offering costs, incurred on its debentures. The Company’s profitability is also affected by its noninterest income and expenses, provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Noninterest income consists of fee income from providing mortgage loan origination services to Intervest National Bank, as well as loan service charges and prepayment income generated from the Company’s loan portfolio. Noninterest expense consists mainly of compensation and benefits expense, occupancy expenses, professional fees, insurance expense and other operating expenses.

The Company’s profitability is significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Since the properties underlying the Company’s mortgages are concentrated in the New York City area, the economic conditions in that area also have an impact on the Company’s operations. Additionally, terrorist acts and armed conflicts, such as the war on terrorism, may have an adverse impact on economic conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

An accounting policy is deemed to be “critical” if it is important to a company’s results of operations and financial condition, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions that have been used in connection with the amounts reported in its financial statements and related disclosures are reasonable and in good faith. The Company believes that currently its only significant critical accounting policy relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period requiring management to make assumptions about future losses on loans. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which could negatively affect the Company’s earnings and financial position. For a further discussion of this policy as well as all of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see note 1 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Total assets at December 31, 2008 decreased to $75,467,000 from $112,067,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease primarily results from net repayments of mortgage loans of $44,167,000. The proceeds of the loan repayments were used to repay $37,435,000 of debentures and related accrued interest. The loan repayment proceeds also resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $7,267,000. Total assets also decreased due to a $1,311,000 decrease in deferred offering cost resulting from normal amortization and accelerated reductions due to the repayments of debentures prior to their scheduled maturity.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $19,949,000 at December 31, 2008, from $12,682,000 at December 31, 2007 primarily due to the net repayment of mortgage loans receivable, as described above, and net income of $831,000.

Mortgage loans receivable, net of unearned income and allowance for loan losses, amounted to $49,950,000 at December 31, 2008, compared to $94,117,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease is the result of principal repayments of $43,839,000 while origination of new loans was $1,200,000. Mortgage loans receivable also decreased by $2,327,000 due to the transfer on one loan to foreclosed real estate.

Nonaccrual loans decreased to $8,292,000 (16% of the Company’s portfolio) at December 31, 2008, from $28,370,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of five loans (totaling $18,378,000) with common principals. These loans were repaid in September of 2008. All outstanding principal and related balances were repaid along with $1,194,000 of past due interest. Additionally, one loan which the Company had foreclosed on was acquired and is reported as Foreclosed real estate on the Balance sheet. For a detailed discussion on nonaccrual loans, see the section entitled “Asset Quality” in this report.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $988,000 at December 31, 2008, compared to $1,295,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease primarily related to five loans with a balance of $18,378,000 that had common ownership that became nonaccrual in the third quarter of 2007. The collateral underlying these loans were sold by the bankruptcy trustee and the loans were repaid in the third quarter of 2008. The provision that was recorded when these loans were classified as nonaccrual was reversed when these loans were repaid. A detailed discussion of the factors and estimates used in computing the allowance for loan losses can be found under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in this report.

Accrued interest receivable decreased to $218,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $300,000 at December 31, 2007 primarily due to the decrease in the Company’s loans outstanding.

Foreclosed real estate increased to $2,327,000 at December 31, 2008. There was no foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2007. The increase was due to the transfer of one property obtained at a foreclosure sale from nonaccrual loans during the third quarter of 2008

Loan fees receivable decreased to $211,000 at December 31, 2008 from $604,000 at December 31, 2007 primarily due to the decrease in the Company’s loans outstanding.

Deferred debenture offering costs, net of accumulated amortization amounted to $1,823,000 at December 31, 2008, compared to $3,134,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease was due to a similar decrease in subordinated debentures payable due to the redemption of debentures in 2008 prior to their stated maturity.

Other assets decreased to $968,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $1,189,000 at December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a $199,000 decrease in deferred income tax asset which was related to the effect of the decrease in the allowance for loan losses.

Total liabilities at December 31, 2008 decreased to $43,723,000, from $81,338,000 at December 31, 2007, principally due to a decrease in debentures payable and related interest payable, resulting from $36,250,000 of debenture redemptions in 2008 as described in footnote six of the financial statements in this report.

Mortgage escrow funds payable decreased to $800,000 at December 31, 2008, compared to $992,000 at December 31, 2007. This decrease was mostly the result of a corresponding decline in mortgage loans receivable. The decrease in escrow funds is not proportional to the decrease in mortgage loans receivable since a significant portion of the decrease in mortgage loans receivable was due to the repayment of nonaccrual loans which had lower escrow balances than other loans in the Company’s portfolio. Mortgage escrow funds payable represent advance payments made to the Company by the borrowers for taxes, insurance and other charges that are remitted by the Company to third parties.

Subordinated debentures outstanding decreased to $40,000,000 at December 31, 2008, from $76,250,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease was due to repayments prior to maturity as described in footnote six of the financial statements in this report.

Debenture interest payable at maturity decreased to $1,823,000 at December 31, 2008, from $3,134,000 at December 31, 2007, primarily due to the accrual of interest on subordinated debentures outstanding. This decrease was due to a corresponding decline in subordinated debentures outstanding also as described in footnote six of the financial statements in this report.

Other liabilities were relatively unchanged at $963,000 at December 31, 2008, compared to $951,000 at December 31, 2007. Income taxes payable were $106,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 when there was no income taxes payable. This increase in other liabilities was mostly offset by a decrease in accrued death benefits from $822,000 at December 31, 2007 to $740,000 at December 31, 2008.

Stockholder’s equity increased to $31,744,000 at December 31, 2008, from $30,729,000 at December 31, 2007, due to net income of $831,000 and a $184,000 increase in Additional Paid in Capital relating to stock option grants to the Company’s staff.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

The Company’s net income decreased by $59,000 to $831,000 in 2008 from $890,000 in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a $1,202,000 decrease in servicing agreement income related to a reduction in origination activity by our affiliate, Intervest National Bank and a $1,066,000 decrease in total interest and fee income, mostly relating to lower yields on short-term investments and to a lower level of loans outstanding. Also contributing to the decrease in net income was an increase in general and administrative expense of $787,000 due primarily to an increase in the loss on early retirement of debentures of $570,000, and an increase in real estate expense. The decrease in net income was partially offset by: a $1,376,000 decrease in interest expense on debentures and a related decrease in amortization of deferred debenture offering costs and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1,340,000 due to a $307,000 credit for loan losses in 2008 compared to a provision of $1,033,000 in 2007.

The following table provides information on average assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity; yields earned on interest-earning assets; and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities for 2008 and 2007. The yields and rates shown are based on a computation of income/expense (including any related fee income or expense) for each year divided by average interest-earning assets/interest-bearing liabilities during each year. Average balances are derived from daily balances. Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest and dividend income by the average of total interest-earning assets during each year.

Net interest income is a major source of the Company’s revenues and is influenced primarily by the amount, distribution and repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as by the relative levels and movements of interest rates.

Net interest income amounted to $1,423,000 in 2008, compared to $1,113,000 in 2007. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the effect of a $20,078,000 decrease in nonperforming loans which accounted for a 89 basis point increase in the yield on mortgage loans. This increase was partially offset by the effect of higher rate loans being repaid during 2008 as well as a reduced yield on short-term investments resulting from steadily decreasing short-term rates during 2008. The average interest rate on debentures decreased 8 basis points to 7.90% in 2008. This decrease in the rate on debentures was the result of fluctuations in the timing of debenture repayments during 2008, the emphasis being placed on repaying higher rate debentures whenever possible.

Servicing agreement income decreased to $2,897,000 in 2008, from $4,099,000 in 2007. Servicing agreement income we receive from the Bank is partially dependent upon the amount of fees the Bank collects from its borrowers. The decrease of $1,202,000 was the result of a lower level of fees being generated by our affiliate, Intervest National Bank.

Income from early repayment of mortgages increased to $793,000 in 2008, from $456,000 in 2007. The increase of $337,000 was primarily the result of lockout interest payments received in 2008 exceeding lockout interest payments received in 2007. The Company may receive lockout interest payments when the borrower prepays a loan prior to the date specified in the mortgage. In such cases the borrower pays interest from the prepayment date through the lockout date. During 2008 one borrower was locked out until maturity and was required to pay lockout interest that represented the majority of the 2008 repayment income.

Other income was relatively unchanged at $109,000 in 2008 compared to $98,000 in 2007.

The Company recorded a $307,000 credit for loan losses in 2008 compared to $1,033,000 provision for loan losses in 2007. The decrease in the provision in 2008 was primarily due to five loans with a balance

of $18,378,000 that had common ownership that became nonaccrual in the third quarter of 2007. The collateral underlying these loans were sold by the bankruptcy trustee in the third quarter of 2008. The provision that was recorded when these loans were classified as nonaccrual was reversed when these loans were repaid.

Salaries and employee benefit expense increased in 2008 by $118,000 to $2,143,000 compared to $2,025,000 for 2007 due primarily to a $87,000 increase in expense related to the issuance of stock options to the Company’s staff as well as a reduction of salaries that would be deferred and amortized over the life of new loans. Since there was only one loan origination in 2008, there was very little salary deferred.

Loss on early repayment of debentures increased to $570,000 in 2008, from $25,000 in 2007, primarily due to the losses on specific high rate debentures that were redeemed prior to maturity since market condition excluded the Company from reinvesting the proceeds from maturing loans at rates in excess of the rates on the repaid debentures.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,275,000 in 2008, from $1,033,000 in 2007, primarily due to an increase in real estate activity expense of $259,000. Real estate activities expense is comprised of expenditures consisting of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and other charges required to protect the Company’s interest in real estate acquired through foreclosure and/or various properties collateralizing the Company’s nonaccrual loans

Occupancy expenses increased $8,000 primarily due to lease escalation payment which the Company is required to pay under the terms of the lease on our office space. The Company shares office space under an informal agreement with the Parent Company which leases the entire fourth floor consisting of, approximately 21,500 square feet of One Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. This lease expires March 2014. The Company occupied approximately one half of the space during 2008. The Company’s share of the rent and related commercial rent tax excluding lease escalation costs amounted to approximately $43,000 per month in 2008. Commencing January 1, 2009, the Company’s employees were transferred to Intervest National Bank. The rent expense for most of the space occupied by these employees will be recorded on the Bank’s income statement in 2009. Approximately $3,000 per month will be recorded as rent expense by the Company in 2009

The provision for income taxes amounted to $710,000 and $760,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The provision represented 46% of pretax income for 2008 and 2007. The Company files consolidated Federal, New York State and New York City income tax returns with its Parent Company.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

The Company’s net income decreased by $2,236,000 to $890,000 in 2007 from $3,126,000 in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a $3,440,000 decrease in total interest and fee income, mostly relating to a higher level of nonperforming loans in 2007 than in 2006. The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by a $1,927,000 decrease in income tax expense and a $782,000 decrease in salary expense primarily related to death benefit expense as described on the following page.

Net interest income amounted to $1,113,000 in 2007, compared to $3,882,000 in 2006. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the effect of a $26,071,000 increase in nonperforming loans which accounted for a 149 basis point decrease in the net interest earning margin. The decrease in the net interest earnings margin to 1.00% in 2007, from 3.40% in 2006, was also due to higher rate loans being replaced by lower rate loans and by the decrease in the amortization of deferred fees, which was the result of a lower level of fees being generated in 2007 versus 2006, as well as a loan with a higher than usual origination fee that was amortized during 2006. The average interest rate on debentures decreased 19 basis points to 7.98% in 2007, mostly due to fixed rate debentures issued in the second half of 2006 having lower rates than the rates on older debentures that had been paid off in the first half of 2006.

Servicing agreement income decreased to $4,099,000 in 2007, from $5,299,000 in 2006. Servicing agreement income we receive from the Bank is partially dependent upon the amount of fees The Bank collects from its borrowers. The decrease of $1,200,000 was the result of a lower level of fees being generated by our affiliate, Intervest National Bank. Nevertheless, such servicing agreement income represents a significantly higher percentage of the Company’s income than it did in 2006.

Income from early repayment of mortgages increased to $456,000 in 2007, from $384,000 in 2006. The increase of $72,000 was primarily the result of lockout interest payments received in 2007 exceeding lockout interest received in 2006. The Company may receive lockout interest when the borrower prepays a loan prior to the date specified in the mortgage. In such cases the borrower pays interest from the prepayment date through the lockout date.

Other income decreased to $98,000 in 2007 compared to $228,000 in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to a $79,000 fee earned on an expired commitment in 2006.

The Company recorded a $1,033,000 provision in the allowance for loan losses in 2007 compared to $12,000 in the allowance for loan losses in 2006. The increase in the provision in 2007 was primarily due to the effect of credit downgrades on the nonaccrual loans.

Salaries and employee benefit expense decreased in 2007 by $782,000 to $2,025,000 in 2007 compared to $2,807,000 for 2006 due primarily to a $883,000 decrease relating to the accrual of a death benefit to the surviving spouse of the Company’s former Chairman and founder, Jerome Dansker, who passed away in August of 2006. This decrease was partially offset by $97,000 of expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 related to the issuance of stock options to the Company’s staff.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,058,000 in 2007, from $1,161,000 in 2006, primarily due to a $85,000 decline in the loss on early repayment of debentures. During 2007 and 2006, certain higher interest debenture issues were retired which resulted in a loss in 2007 and 2006, but will result in lower interest expense for the next several quarters.

Occupancy expenses increased $33,000 primarily due to real estate escalation payment which the Company is required to pay under the terms of the lease on our office space. The Company shares office space under an informal agreement with the Parent Company which leases the entire fourth floor consisting of, approximately 21,500 square feet of One Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. This lease expires March 2014. The Company occupies approximately one half of the space. The Company’s share of the rent and related commercial rent tax excluding real estate escalation costs amounted to approximately $42,000 per month in 2007.

The provision for income taxes amounted to $760,000 and $2,687,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The provision represented 46% of pretax income for 2007 and 2006. The Company files consolidated Federal, New York State and New York City income tax returns with its Parent Company.

Company Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s lending business is dependent on its ability to generate a positive interest rate spread between the yields earned on its mortgage loans and the rates paid on its debentures. Competitive market conditions and lower pricing for new loans has made it increasingly difficult for the Company to identify suitable mortgage investment opportunities. The Company’s loan originations have decreased significantly from its historical levels and amounted to $1,200,000 in 2008. As a result the Company has been using the proceeds from loan repayments to repay outstanding debentures. As discussed in note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has redeemed four different debenture series totaling $20,000,000 during 2009 to date. The Company has also notified holders of an additional series that debentures totaling $6,000,000 of principal will be redeemed on March 1, 2009. If current market conditions persist, additional early repayments of debentures will be considered.

The Company has relied on the issuance of its subordinated debentures in registered, best efforts offerings to the public and proceeds of loan repayments as its primary sources of funds to support its loan originations. The Company needs to pay competitive interest rates to sell its debentures and also incurs underwriting commissions and other fees when debentures are sold, which reduce the net proceeds realized. In addition to funds from sales of debentures, as the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio has grown, service fee income received by the Company from the Bank has comprised a larger percentage of the Company’s earnings and resulting cash inflows. The Bank had a servicing agreement with Intervest Mortgage Corporation that is described in Note 10 “Related party Transactions” to the financial statements included in this report. The Company received $2,897,000 in 2008 from the Bank pursuant to the agreement. As is also described in Note 10, and in light of the significant decline in the level of the Company’s loan origination activities, the servicing agreement with Intervest National Bank has not been

renewed for 2009. Rather, the Company’s employees became employees of the Bank insofar as services, including any origination services, are performed for the Company, the Company will reimburse the Bank for the cost of those services. As a result of these changes, the Company will not receive revenues for origination services after this year. The impact of any lost revenue will be mitigated or offset by the reduction in the Company’s salary and occupancy expense.

The Company’s lending business is dependent on its continuing ability to sell its debentures with interest rates that would result in a positive interest rate spread, which is the difference between yields earned on its loans and the rates paid on its debentures. As detailed in note 6 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, $40,000,000 and $76,250,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s subordinated debentures were outstanding with fixed interest rates that range from 6.50% to 7.00% per annum and maturities that range from April 1, 2011 to July 1, 2014. During 2008, the Company repaid various debenture series totaling $36,250,000 A more detailed discussion of these redemptions as well as redemptions planned for 2009 can also be found in Note 6 to the financial statements in this document.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $19,949,000 in cash and cash equivalents and outstanding commitments to lend of $524,000. In addition, approximately $23,238,000 of mortgages will mature in 2009, excluding nonaccrual loans.

The Company continues to have a significant amount of its assets on a nonaccrual basis or in foreclosed property. As of December 31, 2008, 16% of its mortgage loan portfolio ($8,292,000) was on nonaccrual status and $2,327,000 was classified as foreclosed property. The nonperforming assets have adversely affected the Company’s net interest income and cash flows derived there from, and have placed a greater reliance on cash flows generated from its origination services provided to the Bank. If this level of nonaccrual loans were to increase or continue for an extended period, the Company’s ability to issue new debentures to the public and meet its debt service and operating cash flow requirements could be adversely affected. During 2008, the Company’s interest income from its accruing loan portfolio and other short term investments exceeded the interest expense from its outstanding debentures by $230,000 (excluding $1,194,000 of cash flow from the settlement of nonaccrual loans in September of 2008). As noted above, various debentures were repaid during 2008 prior to their stated maturities, which resulted in an increase in incremental net interest income per month which approximated the loss in net interest income from the repayment of mortgage loans. A loss of $570,000 from the early extinguishment was recorded during 2008, which represents the expensing of remaining related unamortized issuance costs. Additionally, as discussed in note 6 to the financial statements, various debentures have been repaid in the first quarter of 2009 prior to their stated maturities and additional repayments are scheduled for March 1, 2009. These repayments will result in approximately $147,000 of incremental interest income per month commencing in the second quarter of 2009. A loss of $1,033,000 is expected to be recorded in the first quarter of 2009 relating to the early repayment of debentures in the first quarter of 2009 resulting from the acceleration of unamortized placement costs.

The collection of nonaccrual loans is also aggressively being pursued through foreclosure actions. There can be no assurance that additional loan loss provisions, loan chargeoffs or significant expenses will not be incurred with respect to the ultimate collection of the nonaccrual loans, which collection is anticipated to be from the eventual sale of the collateral properties in most cases.

There have been historical disruptions in the financial systems during the past year and many lenders and financial institutions have reduced or ceased to provide funding to borrowers. The availability of credit, confidence in the entire financial sector, and volatility in financial markets has been adversely affected. Although the Company does not lend in the home mortgage market, and does not invest in any

collateralized debt obligations or collateralized mortgage obligations, these disruptions are likely to have some impact on all lenders in the United States including the Company.

The Company considers its current liquidity and sources of funds sufficient to satisfy its outstanding lending commitments and maturing liabilities. Management is not aware of any trends, known demand, commitments or uncertainties other than those discussed above that are expected to have a material impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources of the Company. However, there can be no assurances that adverse conditions may not arise in credit markets that would adversely impact the Company’s ability to raise funds through borrowings to meet its operations and satisfy its outstanding lending commitments and maturing liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Commitments to extend credit amounted to $524,000 at December 31, 2008, all of which have now expired. The Company issues commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business, which may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds under specified conditions. Such commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Asset and Liability Management

Interest rate risk arises from differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities within a given time period. The Company does not engage in trading or hedging activities and does not invest in interest-rate derivatives or enter into interest rate swaps.

The Company uses “gap analysis,” which measures the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within a given time period, to monitor its interest rate sensitivity. An asset or liability is normally considered to be interest-rate sensitive if it will reprice or mature within one year or less. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities scheduled to mature or reprice within a one-year time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. Conversely, a gap is considered negative when the opposite is true.

In a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. In a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. If the repricing of the Company’s assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently, the impact of any increase or decrease in interest rates on net interest income would be minimal.

A simple interest rate gap analysis by itself may not be an accurate indicator of how net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates for the following reasons. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease in the event of an interest-rate increase.

The Company has a “floor,” or minimum rate, on many of its floating-rate loans that is determined in relation to prevailing market rates on the date of origination. This floor only adjusts upwards in the event of increases in the loan’s interest rate. This feature reduces the unfavorable effect on interest income of a falling rate environment because the interest rates on such loans do not reset downward. However, the Company may nonetheless experience loan prepayments, the amount of which cannot be predicted, and reinvestment risk associated with the resulting proceeds.

Notwithstanding all of the above, there can be no assurances that a sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may not adversely impact the Company’s earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.

The Company’s one-year interest rate sensitivity gap decreased to a positive $23,727,000, or 31% of total assets, at December 31, 2008, compared to a positive $44,139,000, or 39%, at December 31, 2007. Additionally, nonaccrual loans are not included in the GAP analysis including $8,292,000 that matures within 12 months.

The following table summarizes information relating to the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2008, that is scheduled to mature or reprice within the periods shown.

(1)

Floating-rate loans that adjust at specified time are included in the period in which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they mature. Fixed-rate loans and subordinated debentures payable are scheduled, including repayments, according to their contractual maturities. Deferred loan fees are excluded from this analysis.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

The primary impact of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on the performance of the Company than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Additionally, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and debenture issuance activities. The Company has not engaged in and accordingly has no risk related to trading accounts, commodities, interest rate hedges or foreign exchange. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on-and off-balance sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in note 14 to the condensed financial statements.

Management actively monitors and manages the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. The primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to limit, within established guidelines, the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital. For a further discussion, see the section “Asset and Liability Management.”

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Intervest Mortgage Corporation

New York, New York:

The management of Intervest Mortgage Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, including safeguarding of assets. The Company’s internal control structure contains monitoring mechanisms and actions are taken to correct deficiencies identified.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including safeguarding of assets as of December 31, 2008. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting, including safeguarding of assets, described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, including safeguarding of assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

1.	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Intervest Mortgage Corporation (the “Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intervest Bancshares Corporation (the “Parent Company”). The Company is engaged in the real estate business, including the origination and purchase of real estate mortgage loans. The chairman and secretary of the Company are directors of the Company and are also officers and directors of the Parent Company. The chairman of the Company is also a principal shareholder of the Parent Company.

The company’s business has focused on the origination of first and junior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multifamily real estate, and it has also provided loan origination services to Intervest National Bank, its affiliate, through an intercompany service agreement. The Company has funded its loan originations through the issuance of subordinated debentures in public offerings. Since early 2007, competitive market conditions and lower pricing for new loans have decreased the Company’s loan originations significantly from its historical levels, and only one loan was originated in 2008. As a result the Company has been applying the proceeds from loan repayments to redeem its outstanding debentures, in many cases prior to contractual maturity. To the extent that current market conditions continue to exist, it is likely that the level of the Company’s loan originations will continue to be relatively modest, if any, and it is likely the Company will continue to apply the proceeds received from its maturing loans and the sale of loans, including sales to its affiliate, Intervest National Bank to the repayment of its outstanding debentures. The Company has sources of funds from its maturing loans sufficient to satisfy its maturing liabilities. Management will continue to closely monitor market trends to determine if additional loan originations or other real estate activities, consistent with the Company’s overall goals and objectives, are appropriate for pursuit

The Company has traditionally provided loan origination services to the Bank and has received fee income in connection with those services, which is eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. In light of the significant reduction in the Company’s business activities, effective January 1, 2009, the employees of the Company were transferred to and became employees of the Bank. They continue to perform loan origination services for the Bank consistent with past practice. Certain personnel of the Bank will administer the ongoing operations of the Company including any origination services that it may require, and the Company will reimburse the Bank for the cost of such services on a monthly basis. Effective December 31, 2008, the intercompany service agreement noted above was terminated.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The financial statements include the accounts of Intervest Mortgage Corporation and its former wholly owned subsidiary, Intervest Realty Servicing Corporation, which was dissolved in 2007. The financial statements also include the accounts of Touchstone Holding LLC a 100 percent owned subsidiary established to own the Company’s interest in a foreclosed real estate property that was acquired in 2008. The Company does not have any other subsidiaries at December 31, 2008. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

1.	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the estimated fair values of the Company’s consolidated financial instruments.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include short-term investments that have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Mortgage Loans Receivable

Mortgage loans receivable are stated at their outstanding principal balances, net of any deferred fees or costs on originated mortgage loans receivable, unamortized discounts on purchased mortgage loans receivable and the allowance for loan losses. Purchased mortgage loans receivable, all of which have been made from affiliated companies, are recorded at cost, which is equivalent to the carrying amount of the seller. The purchase price is deemed equivalent to the fair value of the mortgage loans receivable based on their interest rates. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Discounts are amortized to income over the life of the related mortgage loans receivable using the constant interest method. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related mortgage loans receivable. When a loan is paid off or sold, or if a commitment expires unexercised, any unamortized net deferred amount is credited or charged to income accordingly. Mortgage loans receivable are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Accrued interest receivable previously recognized is reversed and amortization of net deferred fee income is discontinued for mortgage loans receivable placed on a nonaccrual status. Interest payments received on mortgage loans receivable in a nonaccrual status are recognized as income on a cash basis unless future collections on principal are doubtful, in which case the payments received are applied as a reduction of principal. Mortgage loans receivable remain on nonaccrual status until principal and interest payments are current.

Allowance for Mortgage Loan Losses

The allowance for mortgage loan losses is netted against mortgage loans receivable and is increased by provisions charged to income and decreased by chargeoffs (net of recoveries). The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated monthly with consideration given to the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem mortgage loans receivable and estimates of fair value thereof; historical chargeoffs and recoveries, adverse situations which may affect the borrowers’ ability to repay, and management’s perception of the current and anticipated economic conditions in the Company’s lending areas. In addition, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114 specifies the manner in which the portion of the allowance for mortgage loan losses is computed related to certain mortgage loans receivable that are impaired. A loan is normally deemed

Intervest Mortgage Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

1.	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect both principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired mortgage loans receivable normally consist of mortgage loans receivable on nonaccrual status. Interest income on impaired mortgage loans receivable is recognized on a cash basis.

Impairment for commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans receivable is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the observable market price of the loan or the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral, if payment of the principal and interest is dependent upon the collateral. When the fair value of the property is less than the recorded investment in the loan, this deficiency is recognized as a valuation allowance, and a charge to the provision for loan losses. The Company will charge off any portion of a recorded investment in a loan that exceeds its fair value of the collateral.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operating expenses as incurred while major improvements are capitalized.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold. Upon foreclosure of the property, the related loan is transferred from the loan portfolio to foreclosed real estate at the lower of the loan’s carrying value at the date of transfer, or estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs. Such amount becomes the new cost basis of the property. Adjustments made to the carrying value at the time of transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs market valuations and the real estate is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance of the property are included in general and administrative expense in the statements of income. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $2,327,000 of foreclosed real estate. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any foreclosed real estate.

Deferred Debenture Offering Costs

Costs relating to offerings of debentures are amortized over the terms of the debentures. Deferred debenture offering costs consist primarily of underwriters’ commissions.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded and related fees are recorded when incurred or received.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments

SFAS 141(R) - Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company’s 2009 consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) requires, among other things, the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The adoption of this statement is expected to have no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 157 - Fair Value Measurements. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following disclosures, are included herein as a result of the adoption of SFAS 157.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Currently, the Company has no assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, such as securities available for sale. From time to time however, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired loans and foreclosed real estate. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the

Intervest Mortgage Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value, as follows:

•

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

•

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market; and

•

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following describes valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Impaired Loans. Nearly all of the Company’s loans are evaluated individually for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company’s impaired loans are normally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the lower of the Company’s net recorded investment in the loan or the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Adjustments to recorded investment are made through specific valuation allowances that are recorded as part of the overall allowance for loan losses. Estimates of fair value is determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s senior lending officer (the Chairman) related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. This officer takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans is classified as Level 3.

Foreclosed Real Estate. Foreclosed real estate represents real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried, net of any allowance for losses if any, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is estimated in the same manner as impaired loans and, as such, is also classified as Level 3. As these properties are actively marketed, estimated fair value may be periodically adjusted though an allowance for losses to reflect changes in values resulting from changing market conditions.

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of our assets measured at fair value at December 31, 2008.

SFAS 159 - Fair Value Accounting. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 allows companies to elect to follow fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort to mitigate volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

SFAS 160 - Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2007, the Financial accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 160 and it is effective for the Company’s 2009 financial statements. Its objective is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 161 - Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, which provides for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivatives and how and where those derivatives and related hedged items are reported in the entity’s financial statements. SFAS 161 also requires certain tabular formats for disclosing such information. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company in 2009. SFAS 161 applies to all entities and all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS 133. Among other things, SFAS 161 requires disclosures of an entity’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives by primary underlying risk and certain disclosures about the potential future collateral or cash requirements as a result of contingent credit-related features. The Company does not engage in trading or hedging activities, nor does it invest in interest rate derivatives or enter into interest rate swaps. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 161 is expected to have no impact on its financial statements.

FASB Staff Position No. 157-3 Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FASB Staff Position clarifies the application of SFAS 157, in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FASB Staff Position was effective upon issuance.

At December 31, 2008, the loan portfolio consisted of $46,014,000 and $5,091,000 of first mortgage loans and junior mortgage loans, respectively. These loans were comprised of $35,284,000 of fixed-rate loans and $15,821,000 of adjustable-rate loans. At December 31, 2007, the loan portfolio consisted of $88,400,000 and $7,643,000 of first mortgage loans and junior mortgage loans, respectively. These loans were comprised of $57,411,000 of fixed-rate loans and $38,632,000 of adjustable-rate loans.

At December 31, 2008, effective interest rates on mortgages ranged from 6.34% to 13.50%, compared to 5.63% to 14.00% at December 31, 2007. Many of the mortgage loans receivable have an interest rate floor which resets upward along with any increase in the loan’s interest rate. This feature reduces the loan’s interest rate exposure in periods of declining interest rates.

During 2008, 2007 and 2006, certain mortgages were repaid in full prior to their maturity date. The prepayments resulted in the recognition of unearned fees and discounts associated with such mortgage loans receivable, as well as penalty or lockout interest from the prepayment date through the lockout date and the receipt of prepayment fees in certain cases. For 2008, 2007 and 2006, income associated with the prepayments of mortgages was $793,000, $456,000 and $384,000, respectively.

Credit risk represents the possibility of the Company not recovering amounts due from its borrowers and is significantly related to local economic conditions in the areas the properties are located. Economic conditions affect the market value of the underlying collateral as well as the levels of rent and occupancy of income-producing properties (such as office buildings, shopping centers and rental and cooperative apartment buildings).

The geographic distribution of the properties that collateralize the loan portfolio is summarized as follows:

The Company files consolidated Federal and combined New York State and New York City income tax returns with its Parent Company on a calendar year basis. Income taxes are provided as if the Company filed a separate tax return.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s net deferred tax asset was $965,000 and $1,164,000, respectively, which is included in other assets on the balance sheets. The asset relates to the unrealized benefit for net temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on available evidence. Management concluded that a valuation allowance was not necessary at any time in 2008, 2007 or 2006.

Allocation of federal, state and local income taxes between current and deferred portions is as follows:


*($ in thousands)*	Current		(Benefit) Deferred			Total
Year Ended December 31, 2008:
Federal	$	324	$	152		$	476

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business, which may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds under specified conditions. Such commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to extend credit amounted to $524,000 at December 31, 2008, all of which have expired.

The Company is periodically a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, such as foreclosure proceedings. Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding against the Company, which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on the business, results of operations, or financial position of the Company.

Contractual Death Benefit Payments

The Company is contractually obligated to pay death benefits to the spouse of its former Chairman, Jerome Dansker, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreements with the Company. The agreements require the payment to Mr. Jerome Dansker’s spouse of an amount called the “Distribution Amount” during a period called the “Distribution Term”. The Distribution Amount is 50% of the amounts that would have been paid monthly to Jerome Dansker as salary by us and the Distribution Term is the balance of the term of the agreement, or through June 30, 2014.

In connection with this contractual obligation, death benefit expense of $53,000, $58,000 and $941,000 were recorded in 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The Company is obligated to pay $1,200,000 to our former chairman’s spouse through June 30, 2014. The difference between the estimated net present value and the total payments will be recorded as interest expense in future periods through June 30, 2014 and included as a component of our benefit expenses. As of December 31, 2008, the total remaining payments due are as follows: $143,000 in 2009, $151,000 in 2010, $160,000 in 2011, $169,000 in 2012, $178,000 in 2013 and $107,000 in 2014 for an aggregate amount of $908,000. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 accrued death benefit payable amounted to $740,000 and $822,000 respectively.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on available information about each financial instrument. Where available, quoted market prices are used. However, a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, such as commercial real estate and multifamily mortgage loans receivable, do not have an active marketplace in which they can be readily sold or purchased to determine fair value. Consequently, fair value estimates for such instruments are based on assumptions made by management that include the financial instrument’s credit risk characteristics and future estimated cash flows and prevailing interest rates. As a result, these fair value estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Accordingly, changes in any of management’s assumptions could cause the fair value estimates to deviate substantially. The fair value estimates also do not reflect any additional premium or discount that could result from offering for sale, at one time, the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor estimated transaction costs.

Further, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on and have not been considered in the fair value estimates. Finally, fair value estimates do not attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the Company’s customer relationships.

The carrying and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:


	At December 31, 2008				At December 31, 2007
*($ in thousands)*	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financial Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	19,949	$	19,949	$	12,682	12,682
Mortgage loans receivable, net		49,950		52,285		94,117	97,744
Accrued interest receivable		218		218		300	300

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Mortgage Loans Receivable. The estimated fair value of mortgage loans receivable is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for mortgage loans receivable with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Management can make no assurance that its perception and quantification of credit risk would be viewed in the same manner as that of a potential investor. Therefore, changes in any of management’s assumptions could cause the fair value estimates of mortgage loans receivable to deviate substantially.

Debentures and Accrued Interest Payable. The estimated fair value of debentures and related accrued interest payable is based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate used in the present value computation was estimated by comparison to what management believes to be the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar arrangements.

All Other Financial Assets and Liabilities. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable approximates their carrying values since these instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The carrying amounts of commitments to lend approximated estimated fair value. The fair value of commitments to lend is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the counter-party’s credit standing.

Options were awarded to all directors on December 11, 2008 and December 13, 2007 pursuant to our Parent Company’s Long-Term incentive Plan. In 2008, Directors received options to acquire shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share in 2008 and $17.10 per share in 2007. The number of options awarded for each grant was identical and are as follows: Mr. Callen 6,600; Mr. DeRosa 6,900; Mr. Holly 6,000; Mr. Swan 6,300; Mr. Willett 6,000; Mr. Willmott 6,300; and Mr. Wood 6,600. Half of these awards were allocated to Intervest Mortgage Corporation.

At December 31, 2008, the 2008 options are 100% vested and exercisable, and the 2007 options are 66.67% vested and exercisable and the remainder (33.33%) becomes vested and exercisable on December 13, 2009. All the options awarded expire upon the earlier of 10 years following the date of grant or one year following the date the executive ceases to be our employee by reason of disability or death or ninety days if such termination is for a reason other than by death or disability.

For purposes of the table above, the total value of the option awards presented is calculated by multiplying the number of vested options as of December 31, 2008 by the estimated fair value of each option (which was estimated to be $1.63 for the 2008 grant and $5.12 for the 2007 grant). The value of each option was calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option valuation formula.

Mr. Dansker and Mr. Helman are employee directors who also received awards of stock options for their service as directors, the amount and value of which is reflected in the “Executive Compensation Summary Table” set out below. Mr. Dansker also receives director and committee fees, the amount of which is also reflected in such table.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction. This section addresses certain aspects of the compensation paid to our executive officers. Although this discussion addresses our historical practices, the focus is on the practices used in our most recent fiscal year.

Oversight. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company also oversees compensation programs for Intervest Mortgage Corporation. Among other things, this Committee reviews the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers and makes recommendations concerning the compensation levels of those officers. In accordance with the

marketplace rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent, non-management members of the Board of Directors of our Parent Company.

Objectives of Executive Compensation. The objective of our compensation programs is to attract, motivate and retain highly talented individuals. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the competitiveness of our compensation programs in order to evaluate whether they are achieving the desired goals and objectives. With respect to our executive officers, our executive compensation program is principally designed to give executives incentives to focus on and achieve our business objectives. Key elements of the executive compensation program are competitive base salaries, equity incentives and annual performance-based bonuses.

Competitive Factors. In determining the compensation levels of our executive officers, the Compensation Committee takes into account competitive market data from lending industries as a whole and focuses on institutions of a size similar to us. Although the Compensation Committee has not historically established specific targets in relation to peer group compensation, it has taken into account the total compensation paid to executive officers by our competitors. Information regarding pay practices at other companies in the financial sector is useful because we recognize that our compensation must be competitive in the marketplace and also assists us in assessing the overall reasonableness of our compensation.

Elements of Compensation. To date, our executive compensation has had four components: base salary, annual cash incentives, employee benefits and certain equity incentives.

Base salary is designed to provide competitive levels of compensation to our executives based upon the responsibilities assigned to them and taking into account their experience and qualifications. As was discussed above, we have established base salaries at levels we consider appropriate to recruit and retain executives and which are competitive with those paid by similar institutions. The Compensation Committee has reviewed base salaries on an annual basis to take into account changes in responsibilities and based on the individual performance of our executives.

We have also made annual cash bonus payments, which are intended to recognize individual accomplishments, as well as the overall performance of the Company during the past year. To date, except in the case of our chief executive officer, these payments have not constituted a significant percentage of total compensation. Annual bonuses have not been awarded based upon the attainment of pre-established targets or other measurable criteria, but have been determined based on the Company’s performance and various factors determined relevant by the Compensation Committee, including in the case of all other executive officers, the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.

Equity incentives had in the past been granted to our former Chairman and certain executive officers. In 2006, the stockholders of our Parent Company approved our Parent Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Plan allows the Compensation Committee to make various awards, including stock options and other forms of long-term incentives to those key employees of our Parent Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company, who may be selected by the Compensation Committee. We believe that implementation of this Plan will help us to continue to attract and retain employees by providing us with the flexibility to award incentives to achieve our long range goals. Awards under this Plan will constitute longer term variable compensation which will reward effective long term management decision making. The Compensation Committee made use of information from a consultant retained in 2007 concerning equity incentives, including, among other things, advice about the role of equity incentives as a component of overall compensation and data concerning the relative size of awards made to similarly situated executives in comparable companies. After considering the recommendations of the consultant with respect to individual awards to be made to the executive officers of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, stock options in the amounts set out in this report were granted to the executive officers of

the Company on December 31, 2008. These options have a term of ten years, vest immediately, and were granted at $7.50 per share for the Parent Company’s Class A Common Stock. Stock options in the amounts set out in this report were granted to the executive officers of the Company on December 11, 2008. These options have a term of ten years, are immediately exercisable, and were granted at an exercise price that was higher than the closing price of Parent Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date. We expect that awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan will constitute an additional element of executive officer compensation in future years.

We provide various benefits to all of our eligible employees, including executive officers, which include group life insurance, health insurance and a 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is a tax-qualified profit sharing plan under the Internal Revenue Code, and eligible employees meeting certain length of service requirements may make tax deferred contributions subject to certain limitations. We make discretionary matching contributions of up to 3% of participating employee compensation, which vest to the employee over a five-year period.

Perquisites and other benefits have not represented a significant part of total compensation for any of our officers, and are usually made available to a limited number of officers. The primary perquisites are the expense reimbursement allowance granted to our chief executive officer. The portion of the allowance that is paid by us is presently in the amount of $435 per month and was established as a reasonable estimation of the normal, recurring expenses likely to be incurred by him in performing his duties. He is also entitled to the unlimited use of a car at our expense.

The Compensation Committee reviewed all of the components of our Chairman’s compensation, including base salary, bonuses and benefits for 2008. From a financial perspective, 2008 was another year of challenges and the Company believes that the executive management continued to demonstrate skilled and effective management and a dedicated work ethic in: executing the Company’s business strategy, in managing the Company’s financial issues, in managing the Company’s loan portfolio, in dealing with the downturn in the economy and in dealing with an even more competitive lending environment.

Based on its review of all relevant factors and in light of the impact of the economic slowdown on the Company’s financial results, the Compensation Committee did not recommend additional incentive compensation for Lowell Dansker other than the equity incentives granted by our Parent Company. We believe that the aggregate compensation paid to our executive officers during 2008 was reasonable and not excessive.

The Compensation Committee determines the aggregate compensation to be paid to the Chairman, as well as the aggregate bonus, if any, to be paid to the Chairman. Consistent with past practice, the aggregate amount of the Chairman’s compensation is divided between the two principal subsidiaries of the Parent Company, Intervest National Bank and the Company, each of which is responsible for payment of one half of that aggregate compensation.

Post-Termination Compensation. We do not offer any other pension or post-employment benefits, except with respect to certain of our officers who have contractual entitlements under employment agreements. Our Chairman has an employment agreement with our Parent Company, which provides certain severance, disability and death benefits. Other executive officers also have employment agreements, which provide for the payment of six months base salary in the event of a termination without cause. These agreements are described elsewhere in this report.

Intervest Mortgage Corporation is a party to employment agreements with certain of our executive officers that entitle them to certain compensation in connection with changes in control. These provisions give the executive the right, during the one year period following a change in control, to terminate employment, in

which case the executive is entitled to compensation for the balance of the calendar year, as well as an additional payment of six months base salary. These provisions have been included to insure that, if a change in control were to occur, those executives are focused on our business and the interests of our stockholders. In that event, these executives are better able to react neutrally to a potential change in control and not be as influenced by personal concerns.

As a result of the death of Jerome Dansker in 2006, we, together with our Parent Company, were contractually obligated to pay death benefits to his spouse pursuant to his employment agreements. The agreement with us required the payment to Mr. Dansker’s spouse of an amount called the “Distribution Amount” during a period called the “Distribution Period.” The Distribution Amount is 50% of the amounts that would have been paid monthly to Jerome Dansker as salary by us and the Distribution Term is the balance of the term of the employment agreement, or through June 30, 2014.

In connection with the foregoing contractual obligations, we recorded a death benefit payable and corresponding expense of $53,000 and $58,000 in 2008 and 2007 respectively. That amount represents the estimated net present value of the total remaining monthly death benefit payments of $908,000 that are payable by us to our former chairman’s spouse through June 30, 2014. The difference between the estimated net present value and the total payments will be recorded as interest expense in future periods through June 30, 2014 and included as a component of our benefit expenses. As of December 31, 2008, the total remaining payments due from us are as follows: $143,000 in 2009, $151,000 in 2010, $159,000 in 2011, $169,000 in 2012, $178,000 in 2013 and $108,000 in 2014. In the event of the death of the former chairman’s spouse before the end of that term, any remaining payments will be paid in a lump sum to her estate. In addition, the employment agreements also require us to provide his spouse with medical insurance and reimbursement of any uninsured medical expenses for which the cost to us was approximately $243, $226, and $206 per month in 2008, 2007 and the last four months of 2006 respectively. In addition, Mr. Jerome Dansker’s spouse is entitled to the use of the Company’s car and driver during her lifetime; the aggregate cost of which, is approximately $45,000 per year.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations for the compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of all other executive officers and presents his conclusions and recommendations to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and approval. The Compensation Committee has authority to exercise its discretion in modifying any such recommendation to the board.

Changes in Executive Compensation Programs. The discussion above relates to our recent practices, and most particularly those used in the most recent fiscal year. The Compensation Committee continues to evaluate the executive compensation programs of our Parent Company and its subsidiaries. In that regard, the Committee will review the general elements of each executive officer’s compensation, with a view towards making adjustments to ensure that it is consistent with our compensation philosophy and fairly reflects individual performance and the overall performance of the Company. Among other things, we may establish more objective criteria for the award of annual and long term incentives. The Compensation committee will review the allocation of responsibility for payment of the Chairman’s compensation between the two principal subsidiaries of the Parent Company, taking into account the relative time and attention dedicated to each subsidiary by the Chairman.

Tax Considerations. It has been the Compensation Committee’s intent that all incentive payments be deductible to the Company, unless such deductibility would undermine our ability to meet our objectives. In that regard, the Committee considers the impact of Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) does not permit publicly held companies like us to deduct compensation paid to certain executive officers (the

Chief Executive Officer and the next four of the most highly compensated officers, each called a covered employee) to the extent that the amount of the compensation payable to the covered employee for the taxable year exceeds $1 million. Compensation payable under a performance-based compensation plan that is approved by stockholders at least once every five years will not be subject to this deduction limitation, so long as the plan complies with the other requirements of Section 162(m). In December of 2008, pursuant to the US Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, the Parent Company sold to the US Treasury, 25,000 shares of its preferred Stock, together with a warrant to purchase up to 691,882 shares of its Class A Common Stock, for a total investment of $25 million. As a result of that transaction, the Parent Company is subject to certain limitations on compensation. Among other things, it has agreed that, for purposes of Section 162(m), the reduction limit is reduced to $500,000. Although that limitation had an impact on the Parent Company in 2008, it did not impact on the Company in 2008.

Summary. In summary, we believe that the compensation paid to our executive officers has been consistent with our overall objectives and has enabled us to retain and motivate our management team.

Report of the Compensation Committee on the Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee of our Parent Company reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Form 10-K with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included herein for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation Committee: Wesley T. Wood (Chairman), Michael A. Callen, Paul R. DeRosa.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Our Parent Company, Intervest Bancshares Corporation, has an employment and supplemental benefits agreement with Mr. Lowell S. Dansker, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, that expires on June 30, 2014 unless terminated earlier upon thirty days’ prior notice by Mr. Dansker. Through 2008, Intervest Mortgage Corporation paid half of the total compensation paid to Mr. Dansker by the Parent company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the agreement, his annual base salary, at January 1, 2009, is $842,700, subject to annual increases effective July 1st of each year of the term. As described previously, commencing January 1, 2009, Mr. Dansker’s salary is being paid by Intervest National Bank. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Dansker is entitled to receive such bonuses or incentive compensation as may, from time to time, be awarded by our Board of Directors. He is also entitled to participate in our employee benefit programs, to the extent that his position and other qualifications make him eligible to participate, and to five weeks paid vacation.

Mr. Dansker’s employment agreement also entitles him to an expense allowance, currently amounting to $870 per month, which increases annually effective July 1st in the same proportion as the increase in his

base salary for such year. The Company has paid one half of this amount. We have agreed that such amount is a reasonable estimation of the normal, recurring expenses (other than travel expenses) likely to be incurred by Mr. Dansker in performing his duties for us and he is not required to account for such expenses. Mr. Dansker is entitled to reimbursement of all travel expenses incurred by him in the performance of duties for us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliated entities, including, without limitation, travel in connection with attendance at conventions, trade associations and similar meetings. Mr. Dansker is also entitled to an unlimited use of a car at our expense.

Mr. Dansker’s employment agreement also requires that we provide him with an office at our offices in New York City, which he can use in connection with his duties as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and for any other purposes as he may determine at no cost to him. Upon the expiration of the agreement, we are obligated to continue to provide Mr. Dansker, at our cost, with an office for a period of two years. If we cease to maintain our offices in Midtown Manhattan, City of New York, then Mr. Dansker will be entitled to an amount from us, as reasonably determined by him, reflecting the cost of an office and secretarial services in New York City. Mr. Dansker will also be entitled, at our cost, to an unlimited use of a car for a period of two years.

Mr. Dansker’s employment agreement also contains certain other provisions, including disability and death benefits and indemnification. In the event of Mr. Dansker’s disability, as defined in the agreement, or death, we will pay to Mr. Dansker’s wife or his estate, as applicable, a specified amount over a period equal to the greater of (i) three years, and (ii) the number of months remaining in the stated term of the agreement. The specified amount is equal to a percentage, 50% in the case of disability and 25% in the case of death, of Mr. Dansker’s monthly base salary had the agreement continued in force and effect. This amount (or the balance of any remaining amount if monthly payments have previously commenced due to disability) will, in the case of death, be paid to Mr. Dansker’s estate in a lump sum and will, for these purposes, be calculated on the basis of annual base salary increases at the rate of six percent.

Subject to certain exceptions, we have also agreed to indemnify Mr. Dansker to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including legal fees, disbursements, and any other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage or liability.

Our Affiliate, Intervest National Bank, has an employment agreement with its Vice President and Secretary, Stephen A. Helman, with a current annual base salary of $245,000. The agreement is renewable from year to year upon mutual written consent. The agreement provides for expense reimbursements, medical and life insurance benefits, bonuses and other benefits as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The agreement provides for the payment of base salary through December 31, 2009 and an additional payment of up to six months base salary in the event of a termination without cause. The agreement gives the executive the right, during the one year period following any change in control of the Company, to terminate his employment, in which case he is entitled to receive compensation through December 31, 2009, together with an additional payment of up to six months base salary.

Our Affiliate, Intervest National Bank also has an employment agreement with its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, John H. Hoffmann, with a current annual base salary of $139,000.

The agreement provides for expense reimbursements, medical and life insurance benefits, bonuses and other benefits as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The agreement provides for the payment of base salary through December 31, 2008 and an additional payment of up to six months base salary in the event of a

termination without cause. The agreement gives the executive the right, during the one year period following any change in control of the Company, to terminate his employment, in which case he is entitled to receive compensation through December 31, 2009, together with an additional payment of up to six months base salary.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholders Matters

Intervest Bancshares Corporation, located at One Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 400, New York, New York, owns 100% of the outstanding stock of the Company.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Mr. Wayne F. Holly, who is a director of the Company, also serves as Chairman and President of Sage, Rutty & Co., Inc., which firm has acted as an underwriter or placement agent in connection with the Company’s most recent offerings of debentures conducted during fiscal 2006. The Company paid Sage, Rutty and Co., Inc. fees and commissions of $530,000 in 2006. The Company has not issued debentures since the 2006 offering. The Company believes that the commissions paid to Sage, Rutty & Co., are comparable to those that would be paid to a nonaffiliate for similar services.

Mr. Thomas E. Willett, who is a director of the Company, also is a partner in the law firm of Harris Beach PLLC, which firm has provided legal services to the Company in 2008, 2007 and 2006. Harris Beach PLLC, received fees from the Company of $ 9,000 in 2008, $11,000 in 2007 and $88,000 in 2006.

Intervest Securities Corporation, an affiliate until it was dissolved in October 2006, received commissions and fees aggregating $50,000 in 2006 in connection with the placement of the Company’s subordinated debentures. No debentures have been offered since the 2006 offering.

The Company shares office space with its Parent Company which leases the entire fourth floor, approximately 21,500 square feet, of One Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The Company occupies approximately one half of the space. The Parent Company’s lease expires March 2014. The Company has an informal agreement with the Parent Company whereby it reimburses the Parent Company for its share of the rent. Total rent expense amounted to $512,000 in 2008, $502,000 in 2007 and $469,000 in 2006.

The Company had a servicing agreement with Intervest National Bank to provide origination services to the Bank in exchange for a monthly fee that is based on loan origination volumes. The services include: the identification of potential properties and borrowers; the inspection of properties constituting collateral for such loans; the negotiation of the terms and conditions of such loans in accordance with Intervest National Bank’s underwriting standards; and coordinating the preparation of commitment letters and the loan closing process. This agreement renewed each January 1 unless terminated by either party. The Company earned $2,897,000, $4,099,000 and $5,299,000 for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with this agreement. Such services were performed by Company personnel and the expenses associated with the performance of such services were borne by the Company. As a result of this agreement, origination services for the entire Company are furnished by the same staff.

In light of the significant reduction in loan originations by the Company in recent years, effective as of January 1, 2009, the servicing agreement with the Bank was terminated and employees of the Company will become employees of the Bank and will continue to provide loan origination services consistent with

past practice. The ongoing requirements of the Company, including any origination services that it may require, will be performed by the same personnel and the Company will reimburse Intervest National Bank for the cost of such services on a monthly basis

Each of the following directors is an “independent director” (as such term is defined in Nasdaq Market Place rule 4200(a)(15), which rule applies to the Company’s Parent Company): Michael A. Callen; Paul R. DeRosa; Lawton Swan III; Thomas E. Willett; David J. Willmott and Wesley T. Wood.
