NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. General—The Trust has prepared its financial statements and other disclosures on a fully consolidated basis. The term “Trust” used in the text and the financial statements included herein refers to the combined entity, which includes B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries (“Chevy Chase” or the “Bank”). “Real Estate Trust” refers to B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, excluding Chevy Chase and Chevy Chase’s subsidiaries. The operations conducted by the Real Estate Trust are designated as “Real Estate,” while the business conducted by the Bank and its subsidiaries is identified by the term “Banking.” In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Trust’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

 

2. Consolidated financial statements—The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Real Estate Trust, which are involved in the ownership and development of income-producing properties. The accounts of the Bank have also been consolidated. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows for two business segments: Real Estate and Banking. All significant intercompany transactions, except as disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, have been eliminated in consolidation. Tax sharing and dividend payments between the Real Estate Trust and the Bank are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For purposes of calculating primary and diluted earnings per share, weighted average common shares outstanding totaled 4,824,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, 4,826,000 for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, and 4,827,000 for both the three and nine-month periods of the prior year. No dividends have been declared on the common shares in any of the periods presented.

 

3. Taxes—The Real Estate Trust voluntarily terminated its qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code during fiscal 1978. As a result of the Real Estate Trust’s acquisition of an additional 20% equity interest in the Bank in June 1990, the Bank became a member of the Real Estate Trust’s affiliated group filing consolidated federal income tax returns. The current effect of the Real Estate Trust’s consolidation of the Bank’s operations into its federal income tax return results in the use of the Real Estate Trust’s net operating losses and net operating loss carryforwards to reduce the federal income taxes the Bank would otherwise owe.

4. Investment in Saul Centers, Inc. and Saul Holdings Limited Partnership—During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust purchased either through dividend reinvestment or direct purchase 260,000 shares of common stock of Saul Centers, Inc., and as of June 30, 2003 owned approximately 3,670,000 shares representing 23.5% of such company’s outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2003, the market value of these shares was approximately $93.9 million. Substantially all these shares have been pledged as collateral with the Real Estate Trust’s credit line banks.

 

The Real Estate Trust (directly and through two wholly-owned subsidiaries) owns a 20.1% partnership interest in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership (“Saul Holdings Partnership”), along with 4.2 million units of beneficial interest. Under the Saul Holdings Partnership agreement, the units are generally convertible on a one for one basis into common stock of Saul Centers. However, at the current time, the units held by the Real Estate Trust are not convertible into Saul Centers common stock because of restrictions contained in the Saul Holdings Partnership agreement on the number of shares of common stock of Saul Centers that the Real Estate Trust and its affiliates can beneficially own at any point in time. The real estate shares in cash distributions from operations and from capital transactions involving the sale of properties. The partnership agreement of Saul Holdings Partnership provides for quarterly distributions to the partners out of net cash flow. The quarterly distributions since inception have been 39 cents a unit. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust received total cash distributions of $4.9 million from Saul Holdings Partnership. Substantially all of the Real Estate Trust’s ownership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership have been pledged as collateral with the Real Estate Trust’s credit line banks.

5. New accounting pronouncements—real estate—In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation NO. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Direct Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 outlines the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees. It states that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of its obligation. The Real Estate Trust has no liabilities that need to be recognized as a result of the adoption of FIN 45, and the Real Estate Trust does not expect the adoption of FIN 45 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which changes the guidelines for consolidation of and disclosure related to unconsolidated entities, if those unconsolidated entities qualify as variable interest entities, as defined in FIN 46. The Real Estate Trust is evaluating the impact of FIN 46 and does not believe that the adoption of FIN 46 will result in consolidation of entities that are material to the consolidated financial statements.

7. Automobile lease restatement—banking—In April 2003, the Bank determined that its automobile leases did not meet the requirements for direct finance lease classification under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” As a result, the financial statements of the Bank as of, or for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002 were restated and the Bank filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision an amended Form 10-K/A reflecting restated financial results for each of those years. The financial information included in this report fully reflects the impact of the restatement.

 

The following table summarizes the impact of the change in accounting on the results of operations for the periods presented.

GOODWILL AMORTIZATION

 

The Bank adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), on October 1, 2002. SFAS 142 supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets.” SFAS 142 established new guidance on accounting for goodwill and other assets acquired in a business combination and reaffirms that acquired intangible assets should initially be recognized at fair value and the costs of internally developed intangible assets should be charged to expense as incurred. SFAS 142 also requires that goodwill arising in a business combination should no longer be amortized, but, instead, be subjected to impairment testing. An impairment loss is recognized if fair value is less than the carrying amount.

 

As a result of adopting SFAS 142, the Bank did not record goodwill amortization expense during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. The following table sets forth net income for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002 on a pro forma basis, excluding goodwill amortization.

The financial information for each segment is reported on the basis used internally by the Bank’s management to evaluate performance. Pretax core earnings excludes certain items such as gains and losses related to certain securitization transactions, adjustments to loan loss reserves in excess of net charge-offs, amortization of goodwill, and certain other nonrecurring items. Items excluded from pretax core earnings are shown as non-core items. Measurement of the performance of these segments is based on the management structure of the Bank and is not necessarily comparable with financial information from other entities. The information presented is not necessarily indicative of the segment’s results of operations if each of the segments were independent entities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Introduction

 

The Trust has prepared its financial statements and other disclosures on a fully consolidated basis. The term “Trust” used in the text and the financial statements included herein refers to the combined entity, which includes B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase and Chevy Chase’s subsidiaries. “Real Estate Trust” refers to B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, excluding Chevy Chase and Chevy Chase’s subsidiaries. The operations conducted by the Real Estate Trust are designated as “Real Estate,” while the business conducted by the Bank and its subsidiaries is identified by the term “Banking.”

 

The principal business activities of the Real Estate Trust are the ownership of 80% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank, whose assets accounted for 96% of the Trust’s consolidated assets at September 30, 2002, and the ownership and development of income-producing properties. By virtue of its ownership of a majority interest in the Bank, the Trust is a savings and loan holding company and subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the OTS.

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes to be necessary for an understanding of the Trust’s financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements, notes thereto and other information contained in this document.

 

Financial Condition

 

Real Estate

 

The Real Estate Trust’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2003, consisted primarily of hotels, office properties, and land parcels. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust’s hotel portfolio included 18 properties containing 3,577 available rooms.

 

The hotel portfolio experienced an average occupancy rate of 59.8% and an average room rate of $86.54 during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to an average occupancy of 60.1% and an average room rate of $87.16 during the same period in the prior year. REVPAR (revenue per available room) for the hotels was $51.78 for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, a 1.0% decrease from REVPAR for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2002 of $52.37.

 

Office space in the Real Estate Trust’s office property portfolio was 86% leased at June 30, 2003, compared to a leasing rate of 87% at June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust’s office property portfolio consisted of 13 properties and had a total gross leasable area of 1,978,000 square feet, of which 63,462 square feet (3.2%) and 200,081 square feet (10.1%) are subject to leases expiring in the remainder of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004. In addition, in July 2003 the Real Estate Trust learned that a tenant leasing 21,000 square feet of office space at one of the Real Estate Trust’s office properties through December 31, 2004 has gone out of business and is not expected to make future lease payments. This lease provided for monthly rentals of approximately $34,000.

Banking

 

Automobile Lease Restatement. After consultations with the Bank’s independent auditors, in April 2003, the Bank determined that its automobile leases do not meet the requirements for direct finance lease classification under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.” As a result, the financial statements of the Bank as of, or for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 2001 and 2002 were restated and on May 16, 2003, the Bank filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision an amended Form 10-K/A for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 reflecting restated financial results for each of those years. The financial information included in this report fully reflects the impact of the restatement.

 

General. The Bank’s total assets at June 30, 2003 increased $70.8 million from the previous quarter to $11.6 billion. Total loans increased $257.6 million during the quarter to $8.6 billion at June 30, 2003. Production of single-family residential loans and home equity loans increased, but was partially offset by the securitization and/or sale of $1.6 billion of single-family residential loans. The Bank recorded operating income of $37.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to operating income of $34.9 million in the prior corresponding quarter. An increase in other (non-interest) income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses were partially offset by a decline in net interest income and an increase in operating expenses.

 

At June 30, 2003, the Bank’s tangible, core, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.64%, 5.64%, 7.37% and 11.09%, respectively. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the requirements under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) as well as the standards established for “well-capitalized” institutions under the prompt corrective action regulations issued pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”). See “Capital.”

 

Effective March 26, 2003, the Bank stopped originating indirect automobile loans and leases. The Bank continues its collection efforts on the existing portfolios, and continues to serve its customers by making direct prime automobile loans.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Bank declared and paid out of retained earnings cash dividends on its Common Stock in the amount of $500 per share and its Preferred Stock in the amount of $0.8125 per share.

 

Asset Quality. Non-Performing Assets. The following table sets forth information concerning the Bank’s non-performing assets. The figures shown are after charge-offs and, in the case of REO, after all valuation allowances.

Non-performing assets totaled $40.7 million, after valuation allowances on REO of $71.3 million, at June 30, 2003, compared to $46.1 million, after valuation allowances on REO of $71.3 million, at March 31, 2003. In addition to the valuation allowances on REO, the Bank maintained $64.7 million and $63.5 million of valuation allowances on its loan portfolio at June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The $5.4 million decrease in non-performing assets for the current quarter resulted from a $3.7 million decrease in non-accrual loans and a $1.7 million decrease in REO. See “Non-accrual Loans” and “REO.”

 

Non-accrual Loans. The Bank’s non-accrual loans decreased to $17.4 million at June 30, 2003, from $21.2 million at March 31, 2003. Non-accrual real estate loans decreased to $8.9 million from $13.2 million. Decreases in delinquent subprime automobile and other consumer loans were offset by the placement on non-accrual status of two commercial loans with an aggregate book value of $1.6 million.

 

REO. At June 30, 2003, the Bank’s REO totaled $23.3 million, after valuation allowances on those assets of $71.3 million as set forth in the following table. The principal component of REO consists of two planned unit developments (the “Communities”). Only commercial ground properties remain in one of the two Communities.

Real estate loans delinquent 30-89 days consists of single-family residential permanent mortgage loans, home equity loans and other real estate loans. Total delinquent real estate loans decreased to $15.7 million at June 30, 2003, from $17.7 million at March 31, 2003.

 

Delinquent subprime automobile loans decreased to $27.0 million at June 30, 2003, from $31.8 million at March 31, 2003, primarily because of the continued decline in the portfolio of these loans following the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of these loans.

 

Commercial loans delinquent 30-89 days totaled $4.6 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $3.5 million at March 31, 2003.

 

Other consumer loans delinquent 30-89 days increased slightly to $8.8 million at June 30, 2003, from $8.6 million at March 31, 2003.

 

Potential Problem Assets. Although not considered non-performing assets, primarily because the loans are not 90 or more days past due and the borrowers have not abandoned control of the properties, potential problem assets are experiencing problems sufficient to cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms. Potential problem assets declined to $15.4 million in the current quarter from $17.4 million at March 31, 2003.

 

Troubled Debt Restructurings. At June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, the Bank had no troubled debt restructurings.

 

Real Estate Held for Investment. At June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, real estate held for investment consisted of one property with book value of $0.9 million, net of valuation allowances of $0.2 million.

 

Allowances for Losses. The following tables show loss experience by asset type and the components of the allowance for losses on loans and the allowance for losses on real estate held for investment or sale. These tables reflect charge-offs taken against assets during the periods indicated and may include charge-offs taken against assets which the Bank disposed of during such periods.

At June 30, 2003, the Bank’s total valuation allowances for losses on loans and real estate held for investment or sale increased to $136.3 million, from $135.0 million at March 31, 2003. Management reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowances on loans and leases and real estate using a variety of measures and tools including historical loss performance, delinquency status, internal risk ratings, current economic conditions and current underwriting policies and procedures. Using this analysis, management determines a range of acceptable valuation allowances. Management believes that the overall level of the allowance is appropriate.

 

The allowance for losses on loans secured by real estate totaled $6.1 million at June 30, 2003, which constituted 68.8% of total non-performing real estate loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $0.2 million on these assets. The allowance for losses on real estate held for investment or sale totaled $71.5 million at both June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003. The allowance for losses on real estate held for sale at June 30, 2003 is in addition to approximately $12.6 million of cumulative charge-offs previously taken against assets remaining in the Bank’s portfolio at June 30, 2003.

 

At June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, the combined allowance for losses on consumer loans, including automobile, subprime automobile, home improvement and related loans, overdraft lines of credit and other consumer loans was $40.5 million and $39.4 million, respectively. Net charge-offs of consumer and other loans totaled $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decline in net chargeoffs is attributable to declining subprime automobile loan balances coupled with decreased delinquencies following traditional seasonal highs.

 

Asset and Liability Management. The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2003, which reflects loan amortization and management’s estimate of loan prepayments. Variable rate loans are assumed to mature in the period in which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust. Prepayment rates for the Bank’s loans are based on recent actual and market experience. Statement savings accounts with balances under $20,000 are classified based upon management’s assumed attrition rate of 17.5%, and those with balances of $20,000 or more, as well as all NOW accounts, are assumed to be subject to repricing within six months or less.

The interest sensitivity “gap” shown in the table represents the sum of all interest-earning assets minus all interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing and/or maturity within the same period. The one-year gap, as a percentage of total assets, was a negative 0.4% at June 30, 2003, compared to a negative 2.0% at March 31, 2003. The change in the Bank’s one year gap during this period results from increased origination of short-term adjustable rate mortgage loans offset by increases in the Bank’s short-term deposits and other fundings. The Bank continues to consider a variety of strategies to manage its interest rate risk position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Real Estate

 

The Real Estate Trust’s cash flows from operating activities have been historically insufficient to meet all of its cash flow requirements. The Real Estate Trust’s internal source of funds, primarily cash flow generated by its income-producing properties, generally have been sufficient to meet its cash needs other than the repayment of principal on outstanding debt, including outstanding unsecured notes sold to the public, the payment of interest on its indebtedness, and the payment of capital improvement costs. In the past, the Real Estate Trust funded such shortfalls through a combination of external funding sources, primarily new financings, the sale of unsecured notes, refinancing of maturing mortgage debt, proceeds from asset sales, and dividends and tax sharing payments from the Bank. For the foreseeable future, the Real Estate Trust’s ability to generate positive cash flow from operating activities and to meet its liquidity needs, including debt service payments, repayment of debt principal and capital expenditures, will continue to depend on these available external sources. Dividends received from the Bank are a component of funding sources available to the Real Estate Trust. The availability and amount of dividends in future periods is dependent upon, among other things, the Bank’s operating performance and income, and regulatory restrictions on such payments.

 

The Real Estate Trust believes that the financial condition and operating results of the Bank in recent periods should allow the Real Estate Trust to receive tax sharing payments and dividends from the Bank. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2003, the Bank made tax sharing payments totaling $8.5 million and dividend payments of $12.0 million to the Real Estate Trust. Tax sharing and dividend payments received by the Real Estate Trust are presented as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Historically, the operations of the Trust have generated net operating losses while the Bank has reported net income. It is anticipated that the Trust’s consolidation of the Bank’s operations into the Trust’s federal income tax return will result in the use of the Trust’s net operating losses to reduce the federal income taxes the Bank would otherwise owe. If, in any future year, the Bank has taxable losses or unused credits, the Trust would be obligated to reimburse the Bank for the greater of (i) the tax benefit to the group using such tax losses or unused tax credits in the group’s consolidated federal income tax returns or (ii) the amount of the refund which the Bank would otherwise have been able to claim if it were not being included in the consolidated federal income tax return of the group.

 

In June 2003 the Real Estate Trust refinanced three hotels with new fixed rate non-recourse financing. The financing was comprised of three separate loans totaling $46 million, each with a term of ten years and a 5.90% interest rate. This financing replaced $38.3 million in existing financing on the three hotels.

 

In March 1998, the Real Estate Trust issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9-3/4% Senior Secured Notes due March 2008, (the “1998 Notes”). The 1998 Notes are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in 8,000 shares, or 80%, of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank, which constitute all of the Bank common stock held by the Real Estate Trust. The 1998 Notes are nonrecourse obligations of the Real Estate Trust.

The Real Estate Trust is currently selling unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from one to ten years, primarily to provide funds to repay maturing unsecured notes. To the degree that the Real Estate Trust does not sell new unsecured notes in amounts sufficient to finance completely the scheduled repayments of outstanding unsecured notes as they mature, it will finance such repayments from other sources of funds.

 

As of June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust has available a $50.0 million revolving credit line with an unrelated bank. The current maturity date for this line is September 29, 2004. The facility is secured by a portion of the Real Estate Trust’s ownership in Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers. Interest is computed by reference to a floating rate index. At June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust had $1.9 million outstanding borrowings under the facility.

 

As of June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust has available a $35.0 million revolving credit line with an unrelated bank, secured by a portion of the Real Estate Trust’s ownership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership. The current maturity date for this line is November 15, 2004. Interest is computed by reference to a floating rate index. At June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust had $6 million in outstanding borrowings under the facility.

 

The maturity schedule for the Real Estate Trust’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2003 for the balance of fiscal 2003 and subsequent years is set forth in the following table:

Development and Capital Expenditures

 

On June 29, 2000, the Real Estate Trust purchased a 6.17-acre site in the Loudoun Tech Center, a 246-acre business park located in Loudoun County, Virginia, for $1.1 million. The site was purchased for the purpose of developing an 81,000 square foot office/flex building to be known as Loudoun Tech Phase I. The cost of development is expected to be $8.4 million upon completion of tenant build-out and will be financed by a $7.4 million construction loan, which has a five-year term, a floating interest rate and one two-year renewal option. Construction of the base building was completed in December 2000, and the building was placed in service during December 2001. No leases have been signed as yet for space in the building. As of June 30, 2003, the Real Estate Trust’s building basis approximates $5.2 million, while the outstanding construction loan balance is $3.9 million.

 

The Real Estate Trust believes that the capital improvement costs for its income-producing properties will be in the range of $11.0 to $18.0 million per year for the next several years. The capital improvements are expected to increase from the current level because of planned hotel renovations and activities related to re-leasing of office space.

 

Banking

 

Capital. At June 30, 2003, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements under FIRREA, and its capital ratios exceeded the ratios established for “well-capitalized” institutions under OTS prompt corrective action regulations.

 

The following table shows the Bank’s regulatory capital levels at June 30, 2003, in relation to the regulatory requirements in effect at that date. The information below is based upon the Bank’s understanding of the regulations and interpretations currently in effect and may be subject to change.

OTS capital regulations provide a five-year holding period (or such longer period as may be approved by the OTS) for REO to qualify for an exception from treatment as an equity investment. If an REO property is considered an equity investment, its then-current book value is deducted from total risk-based capital. The following table sets forth the Bank’s REO at June 30, 2003, after valuation allowances of $71.3 million, by the fiscal year in which the property was acquired through foreclosure.

Liquidity. The Bank’s average liquidity ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, was 5.7%, compared to 5.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

 

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank sold $1.6 billion of single-family residential loans during the current quarter. As part of its operating strategy, the Bank continually explores opportunities to sell assets and to securitize and sell various loan receivables to meet liquidity and other balance sheet objectives.

 

In connection with its loan origination, securitization and sale activities, the Bank generally retains various interests in the sold loans, including servicing assets and interest-only strips receivable. The Bank may also retain a limited amount of recourse to its securitization transactions through one or more means, most often through the establishment of reserve accounts, overcollateralization of receivables or retention of subordinated asset-backed certificates. The Bank records these interests as assets on its financial statements. In some cases, the Bank determines the carrying value of the retained assets based on expected future cash flows to be received by the Bank from the underlying assets. Some of these cash flows are payable to the Bank before the claim of others, while other cash flows are subordinated to the claims of others. The following tables summarize the carrying value of these assets at June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003.

The increase in servicing assets and interest-only strips receivable was due to the increased securitization and sale activity in the current quarter.

 

The Bank also is obligated under various recourse provisions related to the swap of single-family residential loans for mortgage-backed securities issued by the Bank. At June 30, 2003, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements was $4.7 million, consisting of restricted cash accounts of $2.7 million and overcollateralization of receivables of $2.0 million.

 

The Bank also is obligated under a recourse provision related to the servicing of certain of its residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, recourse to the Bank under this arrangement totaled $3.4 million.

 

There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2003.

 

The Bank’s future liquidity requirements will continue to be affected both by the asset size of the Bank, the growth of which will be constrained by capital requirements, and the composition of the asset portfolio. Management believes that the Bank’s primary sources of funds will be sufficient to meet the Bank’s foreseeable long-term liquidity needs. The mix of funding sources utilized from time to time will be determined by a number of factors, including capital planning objectives, lending and investment strategies and market conditions.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003, (the “2003 quarter”) Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002, (the “2002 quarter”)

 

Real Estate

 

The Real Estate Trust recorded income before depreciation and amortization of $980,000 and an operating loss of $4.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 (the “2003 quarter”) compared to income before depreciation and amortization of $2.6 million and an operating loss of $2.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, (the “2002 quarter”). The changes reflect declining results in operations of hotels, (including the general economic decline and exterior renovations to the Tysons Corner Holiday Inn), higher depreciation and amortization expense, and lower earnings from unconsolidated entities.

 

Income after direct operating expenses from hotels decreased $1.2 million (12.4%) in the 2003 quarter from the level achieved in the 2002 quarter. The decrease in total revenue of $1.2 million (4.5%) consisted largely of lower room sales ($1.1 million). There was an increase of $70,000 (0.4%) in direct operating expenses in the 2003 quarter.

 

Income after direct operating expenses from office and industrial properties decreased $163,000 (2.3%) in the 2003 quarter from the 2002 quarter. Gross income decreased $318,000 (3.2%), and expenses decreased $155,000 (5.2%).

 

Other income decreased $69,000 (18.6%) in the 2003 quarter from the 2002 quarter, principally due to lower interest income in the current quarter.

 

Land parcels and other expense increased $65,000 (25.8%) in the 2003 quarter from the 2002 quarter due to higher real estate taxes and other carrying charges.

 

Interest expense decreased $159,000 (1.3%) in the 2003 quarter because of lower average interest rates on outstanding borrowings. Average balances of the Real Estate Trust’s outstanding borrowings increased to $588.7 million for the 2003 quarter from $583.3 million for the 2002 quarter. Average interest rates in the 2003 and 2002 quarters were 8.55% and 8.66%, respectively.

 

There was no capitalized interest in either the 2003 quarter or the 2002 quarter since there was no development activity in either quarter.

 

Amortization of debt expense increased $43,000 (16.3%) in the 2003 quarter, primarily due to costs incurred in connection with obtaining and refinancing mortgage loans in recent periods.

 

Depreciation increased $81,000 (1.7%) in the 2003 quarter, largely as a result of new income-producing assets placed in service in recent periods.

 

Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties decreased $67,000 (2.0%) in the 2003 quarter from their level in the 2002 quarter. The monthly advisory fees were $458,000 in the 2003 quarter, compared to $475,000 in the 2002 quarter, a decrease aggregating $51,000 (3.6%). Management and leasing fees decreased $16,000 (0.9%) in the current quarter, reflecting decreased gross revenues from properties on which fees are based.

 

37


General and administrative expense increased $145,000 (27.6%) in the 2003 quarter, primarily due to increases in accounting expenses of $143,000 (408.6%). Accounting expenses increased primarily due to re-audits of prior year financial statements.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities reflected earnings of $1,806,000 in the 2003 quarter as compared to earnings of $2,068,000 in the 2002 quarter, a decrease of $262,000 (12.7%).

 

There were no impairment losses in the 2003 quarter compared to $47,000 incurred during the 2002 quarter.

 

Banking

 

Overview. The Bank recorded operating income of $37.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 (the “2003 quarter”), compared to operating income of $34.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 (the “2002 quarter”). An increase in other income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses were substantially offset by a decline in net interest income and an increase in operating expenses.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, decreased $6.8 million (or 10.3%) in the 2003 quarter compared to the 2002 quarter. There was no interest income recorded during the 2003 quarter on non-accrual assets and restructured loans. The Bank would have recorded interest income of $0.4 million for the 2003 quarter if non-accrual assets and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. The Bank’s net interest income in future periods will continue to be adversely affected by the Bank’s non-performing assets. See “Financial Condition—Asset Quality—Non-Performing Assets.”

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding the total amount of income from interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, the interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in dollars and rates, and the net interest spread and net yield on interest-earning assets.

Interest income in the 2003 quarter decreased $19.4 million (or 15.0%) from the 2002 quarter as a result of lower average yields on loans receivable, which was partially offset by increases in the average balances of loans receivable of $1.5 billion. Also contributing to the decreased income were lower average yields and lower average balances of mortgage-backed securities.

 

The Bank’s net interest spread decreased to 2.46% in the 2003 quarter, from 3.17% in the 2002 quarter. The average yield of interest-earning assets decreased at a rate greater than the rate of decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 99.2% for the 2003 quarter, compared to 95.0% for the 2002 quarter.

 

Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, decreased $9.8 million from the 2002 quarter primarily because of lower average yields. The decreased average yield on the loan portfolio was primarily due to declines in the various indices on which interest rates on adjustable rate loans are based. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased 146 basis points (to 4.55% from 6.01%) from the 2002 quarter. Lower average yields on single-family residential loans during the 2003 quarter resulted in a $3.1 million (or 4.8%) decrease in interest income. A $1.2 billion increase in the average balance of single-family residential loans partially offset this decrease. In addition, lower average yields and, to a lesser extent, lower average balances of automobile loans, resulted in a $7.6 million (or 35.6%) decrease in interest income.

 

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $10.0 million (or 56.3%) primarily because of $586.2 million of lower average balances and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average interest rates on those securities (to 5.29% from 6.04%).

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $12.5 million (or 38.7%) during the 2003 quarter, due to decreased average rates. The 80 basis point decrease in the average rate on deposits (from 1.92% to 1.12%) resulted from a reduction in the rates paid by the Bank in response to declines in market interest rates. The Bank also had fewer higher cost brokered deposits in the 2003 quarter compared to the 2002 quarter.

 

Interest expense on borrowings decreased slightly in the 2003 quarter compared to the 2002 quarter. The decrease resulted from decreases in the average rate paid on securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings which, combined, resulted in a decrease of $0.8 million in interest expense. An increase in the average balance on Federal Home Loan Bank advances resulted in a $0.6 million increase in interest expense which partially offset the decrease in interest expense on other borrowings.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank’s provision for loan losses decreased to $5.9 million in the 2003 quarter from $11.4 million in the 2002 quarter. The $5.5 million decrease largely reflects improved credit quality of the loan portfolio following the Bank’s prior decisions to stop originating indirect automobile loans. See “Financial Condition—Asset Quality—Allowances for Losses.”

 

Other Income. Other non-interest income increased to $139.6 million in the 2003 quarter from $131.3 million in the 2002 quarter. The $8.3 million (or 6.3%) increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the gain on trading securities and sales of loans, an increase in servicing and securitization income and an increase in deposit servicing fees. A decrease in automobile rental income partially offset the increase in other income.

 

42


Gain on trading securities and sales of loans increased $6.9 million over the 2002 quarter. The Bank sold loans amounting to $820.1 million and recognized a gain of $6.2 million during the current quarter compared to sales of $341.0 million and a gain of $2.1 million in the prior corresponding quarter. In addition, the Bank recorded a $1.3 million unrealized gain in the value of a trading security in the 2003 quarter compared to a $1.5 million unrealized loss in the 2002 quarter.

 

Servicing and securitization income increased to $33.0 million in the 2003 quarter, from $28.9 million in the 2002 quarter, primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of loans securitized and sold. The Bank securitized and sold $760.4 million of loans receivable in the current quarter compared to $500.5 million in the prior corresponding quarter.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the 2003 quarter increased $4.6 million (or 3.0%) from the 2002 quarter. Contributing to the increase in operating expense was an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $2.9 million (or 5.8%) due to the addition of staff in the residential mortgage lending area and retail branch network. Marketing expense increased $2.7 million during the current quarter as a result of increased marketing activities.

Results of Operations

 

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2003, (the “2003 period”) Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2002, (the “2002 period”)

 

Real Estate

 

The Real Estate Trust recorded a loss before depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million and an operating loss of $16.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2003 (the “2003 period”) compared to income before depreciation and amortization of $2.2 million and an operating loss of $12.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2002, (the “2002 period”). The changes reflect declining results in operations of hotels, (including the general economic decline and exterior renovations to the Tysons Corner Holiday Inn), higher depreciation and amortization expense, lower earnings from unconsolidated entities, and impairment losses on investments.

 

Income after direct operating expenses from hotels decreased $1.7 million (7.7%) in the 2003 period from the level achieved in the 2002 period. Total revenue decreased $849,000 (1.3%) and direct operating expenses increased $858,000 (2.0%).

 

Income after direct operating expenses from office and industrial properties increased $98,000 (0.5%) in the 2003 period from the 2002 period. The two new properties produced an increase of $787,000, while the results from the eleven office properties owned throughout both periods produced a decrease of $689,000. Gross income increased $321,000 (1.1%), and expenses increased $223,000 (2.7%). For the eleven office properties owned throughout both periods, total revenue decreased by $663,000 (2.3%) and the increase in direct operating expenses was $26,000 (0.3%) The downturn was due to leased space turning over at lower rental rates in the current period.

 

Other income decreased $258,000 (22.2%) in the 2003 period from the 2002 period, principally due to lower interest income in the current period.

 

Land parcels and other expense increased $70,000 (8.7%) in the 2003 period from the 2002 period due to higher real estate taxes and other carrying charges.

 

Interest expense decreased $433,000 (1.2%) in the 2003 period because of lower average interest rates on outstanding borrowings. Average balances of the Real Estate Trust’s outstanding borrowings increased to $585.2 million for the 2003 period from $583.8 million for the 2002 period. Average interest rates in the 2003 and 2002 quarters were 8.63% and 8.67%, respectively.

 

Capitalized interest decreased $287,000 (100.0%) in the 2003 period since there was no development activity in the current period.

 

Amortization of debt expense increased $180,000 (26.5%) in the 2003 period, primarily due to costs incurred in connection with obtaining and refinancing mortgage loans in recent periods.

 

Depreciation increased $1.0 million (7.5%) in the 2003 period, largely as a result of new income-producing assets placed in service in recent periods.

 

Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties decreased 70,000 (0.8%) in the 2003 period from their level in the 2002 period. The monthly advisory fees were $458,000 in the 2003 period, compared to $475,000 in the 2002 period, a decrease aggregating $153,000 (3.6%).

 

44


Management and leasing fees increased $83,000 (1.6%) in the current period, reflecting increased gross revenues from properties on which fees are based.

 

General and administrative expense decreased $65,000 (3.7%) in the 2003 period. This decrease is attributable to decreases in legal expenses of $192,000 (23.2%), offset by increases in accounting expenses of $129,000 (55.8%). Accounting expenses increased primarily due to re-audits of prior year financial statements.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities reflected net earnings of $5,990,000 in the 2003 period as compared to net earnings of $7,123,000 in the 2002 period, a decrease of $1,133,000 (15.9%). Earnings from Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers were lower by $941,000 in the current period and losses from other investments were higher by $192,000 in the current period. The decrease in earnings from Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers is partly attributable to a one-time gain on the sale of a property in the prior period.

 

Impairment loss on investments increased $484,000 in the 2003 period, due to additional write-downs of certain non-public investments accounted for under the cost method.

 

Banking

 

Overview. The Bank recorded operating income of $96.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 (the “2003 period”), compared to operating income of $87.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 (the “2002 period”). A decrease in the provision for loan losses and an increase in other income were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and an increase in operating expenses.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, decreased $16.0 million (or 7.9%) in the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period. There was no interest income recorded during the 2003 period on non-accrual assets and restructured loans. The Bank would have recorded interest income of $1.7 million for the 2003 period if non-accrual assets and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. The Bank’s net interest income in future periods will continue to be adversely affected by the Bank’s non-performing assets. See “Financial Condition—Asset Quality—Non-Performing Assets.”

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding the total amount of income from interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, the interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in dollars and rates, and the net interest spread and net yield on interest-earning assets.

Interest income in the 2003 period decreased $70.5 million (17.0%) from the 2002 period as a result of lower average yields on loans receivable, which was partially offset by increases in the average balances of loans receivable of $1.0 billion. Also contributing to the decreased income were lower average yields and lower average balances of mortgage-backed securities.

 

The Bank’s net interest spread decreased to 2.67% in the 2003 period from 3.19% in the 2002 period. The average yield of interest-earning assets decreased at a rate greater than the rate of decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets as a percentage of average interest bearing liabilities increased to 97.9% for the 2003 period compared to 94.8% for the 2002 period.

 

Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, decreased $42.2 million from the 2002 period primarily because of lower average yields. The decreased average yield on the loan portfolio was primarily due to declines in the various indices on which interest rates on adjustable rate loans are based. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased 147 basis points (from 6.35% to 4.88%) from the 2002 period. Lower average yields on single-family residential loans during the 2003 period resulted in a $20.8 million (or 10.0%) decrease in interest income. A $733.5 million increase in the average balance of single-family residential loans partially offset this decrease. In addition, lower average yields and, to a lesser extent, lower average balances of automobile loans resulted in an $23.3 million (or 33.1%) decrease in interest income.

 

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $27.8 million (or 47.7%) primarily because of $541.4 million of lower average balances and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average interest rates on those securities (from 6.06% to 5.49%).

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $51.4 million (or 44.1%) during the 2003 period, due to decreased average rates. The 105 basis point decrease in the average rate on deposits (from 2.31% to 1.26%) resulted from a reduction in the rates paid by the Bank in response to declines in market interest rates. The Bank had fewer higher cost brokered deposits in the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period.

 

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $3.1 million (or 3.2%) in the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period. The decrease resulted from decreases in the average rate paid on securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings, which, combined, resulted in a decrease of $2.7 million in interest expense. A decrease in the average yield of Federal Home Loan Bank advances (from 5.15% to 4.82%) also contributed to the decrease in interest expense on borrowings. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest expense on borrowings was an increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $113.4 million (or 6.1%).

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank’s provision for loan losses decreased to $20.4 million in the 2003 period from $41.3 million in the 2002 period. The $20.9 million decrease largely reflects improved credit quality of the loan portfolio following the Bank’s prior decisions to stop originating indirect automobile loans. See “Financial Condition—Asset Quality—Allowances for Losses.”

 

Other Income. Other non-interest income increased to $398.4 million in the 2003 period from $368.0 million in the 2002 period. The $30.4 million (or 8.2%) increase resulted from an increase in servicing and securitization income, an increase in income on real estate held for investment or sale and an increase in deposit servicing fees.

 

49


Servicing and securitization income increased to $77.2 million in the 2003 period, from $65.2 million in the 2002 period, primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of loans securitized and sold. The Bank securitized and sold $1.7 billion of loans receivable during the current period compared to $1.2 billion in the prior corresponding period.

 

The gain on real estate held for investment or sale was $6.6 million in the 2003 period compared to $0.6 million in the prior corresponding period. The Bank sold one REO property during the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and recognized a gain of $5.5 million.

 

Deposit servicing fees increased $6.8 million (or 8.1%) during the 2003 period primarily due to fees generated from the continued expansion of the Bank’s branch and ATM network.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the 2003 period increased $27.2 million (or 6.2%) from the 2002 period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $7.9 million (or 5.3%) due to the addition of staff in the residential mortgage lending area and retail branch network. Also contributing to the increase in operating expenses was an increase in servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses of $5.4 million (or 17.1%) due to an increase in the amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights. Depreciation and amortization also increased $18.3 million during the current period due to depreciation expense on automobiles subject to lease and, to a lesser extent, the fair market value adjustment of one office building held for sale.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Information required by this Item is included in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Trust’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Trust’s management, including its Chairman and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

The Trust carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Trust’s management, including its Chairman and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Based on the foregoing, the Trust’s Chairman and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2003.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2003, there were no significant changes in the Real Estate Trust’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Real Estate Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
