1 1 City of Hallandale Beach 1 st Quarter 2012 DB Plan Update May 16, 2012

2 Economy and Market Review Global equity markets generally enjoyed strong and broad-based gains during the first quarter of 2012 In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index gained 12.6% in the first quarter, its best first quarter rally since 1998 International markets (as measured by the MSCI All Country World (ex-U.S.) Index) gained 11.2% for the first quarter –International developed markets (as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index) gained 10.9% for the quarter –International emerging markets (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index) gained 14.1% for the quarter The combination of stronger economic news and a perception of a reduction of risk provided a basis for many investors to turn to the higher returns in corporate bond markets and equities; as a result, treasury yields trended upward during the quarter –The 10-year Treasury yield finished at 2.22%, up 34 basis points for the quarter –The 2-year Treasury yield finished at 0.34%, up 10 basis points for the quarter Recap 1 st Quarter 2012

3 Economy and Market Review Consumer spending data was strong as overall household purchases rose ahead of consensus expectations Income data was a disappointment as, after inflation, disposable personal income fell 0.1% in February Manufacturing momentum stalled as the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index unexpectedly declined in January and purchasing managers surveys were weaker The mild European Union recession continued into 2012 Growth in China has slowed and economic data continues weak but a gradually easing policy and strong fundamentals could provide for a soft landing Recap 1 st Quarter 2012

4 We anticipate a modest upward move in U.S. interest rates as the year progresses and the expansion continues. Based on our outlook for better economic growth in the second half, our interest rates forecast for year-end 2012 is: –A Federal Funds Rate target of 0% to 0.25% –A 10-year Treasury Rate of 2.50% –A 2-year Treasury Rate of 0.40% Core inflation was around 1.7% for year-end 2011. Our projection for year-end 2012 is around 2.5%. Economic growth came in around 1.7% for 2011 and we expect it to tick up in 2012 to around 2.2% Outlook for the Future Economy and Market Review

5 We believe the U.S. expansion is sustainable and should improve as the year proceeds for several reasons: –Firms have stretched their labor productivity as far as possible so further increases in sales could mean employers will need to hire more workers –The drag from shrinking state government budgets and layoffs should fade by mid-year as state and local tax revenue moves up –Housing activity appears to be bottoming –Gross domestic income (GDI) grew during the first quarter showing that underlying growth may be stronger than estimated using gross domestic product (GDP) The debt crisis in Europe will stay in the headlines and remain a risk for investors The Chinese economy has slowed from white-hot to merely hot but appears headed for a soft landing Economy and Market Review Outlook for the Future
