ITEM 1. BUSINESS

      This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of these Acts, any statement that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed a forward-looking statement. Capital Crossing Preferred Corporation (“Capital Crossing Preferred”) may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by officers or directors. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “may,” “projects,” “will,” “would,” and other similar expressions which predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of Capital Crossing Preferred. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Capital Crossing Preferred to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result, among other factors, or the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

      All of these factors should be carefully reviewed, and the reader of this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be aware that there may be other factors that could cause these differences. These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and Capital Crossing Preferred does not promise to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes.

General

      Capital Crossing Preferred Corporation, formerly Atlantic Preferred Capital Corporation, is a Massachusetts corporation incorporated on March 20, 1998. Capital Crossing Bank (“Capital Crossing”), formerly Atlantic Bank and Trust Company, organized Capital Crossing Preferred to acquire and hold real estate mortgage assets in a cost-effective manner and to provide Capital Crossing with an additional means of raising capital for federal and state regulatory purposes. Capital Crossing owns all of the outstanding common stock of Capital Crossing Preferred. Capital Crossing Preferred operates in a manner intended to allow it to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or a “REIT”, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). As a REIT, Capital Crossing Preferred generally will not be required to pay federal income tax if it distributes its earnings to its stockholders and continues to meet a number of other requirements.

      On March 31, 1998, Capital Crossing capitalized Capital Crossing Preferred by transferring mortgage loans valued at $140.7 million in exchange for 1,000 shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s 8% Cumulative Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, valued at $1.0 million and 100 shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock valued at $139.7 million. The carrying value of these loans approximated their fair values at the date of contribution.

      On February 1, 1999, Capital Crossing Preferred closed its public offering of 1,260,000 shares of its 9.75% Non-cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, Series A. On February 12, 1999, Capital Crossing Preferred sold an additional 156,130 Series A preferred shares in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option. The net proceeds to Capital Crossing Preferred from the sale of Series A preferred shares were $12.6 million. Series A preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Capital Crossing Preferred, with the prior consent of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

2

      On May 31, 2001, Capital Crossing Preferred closed its public offering of 1,840,000 shares (including 240,000 shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) of its 10.25% Non-cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, Series C. The net proceeds to Capital Crossing Preferred from the sale of Series C preferred shares were $16.9 million. Series C preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Capital Crossing Preferred on or after May 31, 2006, with the prior consent of the FDIC.

      On May 11, 2004, Capital Crossing Preferred closed its public offering of 1,500,000 shares of its 8.50% Non-cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, Series D. The net proceeds to Capital Crossing Preferred from the sale of Series D preferred shares were $35.3 million. Series D preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Capital Crossing Preferred on or after July 15, 2009, with the prior consent of the FDIC.

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s principal business objective is to acquire and hold mortgage assets that will generate net income for distribution to stockholders. All of the mortgage assets in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005 were acquired from Capital Crossing and it is anticipated that substantially all additional mortgage assets will be acquired from Capital Crossing. As of December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred held loans acquired from Capital Crossing with net investment balances of $116.1 million. Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of mortgage assets secured by commercial and multi-family properties.

      Capital Crossing administers the day-to-day activities of Capital Crossing Preferred in its roles as servicer under a master service agreement entered into between Capital Crossing and Capital Crossing Preferred and as advisor under an advisory agreement. Capital Crossing Preferred pays Capital Crossing an annual servicing fee equal to 0.20%, payable monthly, and an annual advisory fee equal to 0.05%, also payable monthly, of the gross average outstanding principal balances of loans in the loan portfolio for the immediately preceding month. Capital Crossing and its affiliates have interests that are not identical to those of Capital Crossing Preferred. Consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to transactions, including, without limitation:

•  future acquisitions of mortgage assets from Capital Crossing or its affiliates;

•  servicing of mortgage assets, particularly with respect to mortgage assets that become classified or placed on non-performing status;

•  the modification of the advisory agreement and the master service agreement; and

•  the terms of our guarantee of obligations of Capital Crossing.

      It is the intention of Capital Crossing Preferred that any agreements and transactions between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing are fair to all parties and consistent with market terms, including the price paid and received for mortgage assets on their acquisition or disposition by Capital Crossing Preferred or in connection with the servicing of such mortgage assets. However, there can be no assurance that such agreements or transactions will be on terms as favorable to Capital Crossing Preferred as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Capital Crossing

      Capital Crossing was organized as a Massachusetts-chartered trust company in December 1987, and commenced operations in February 1988. Capital Crossing operates as a commercial bank primarily focused on purchasing loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one-to-four family residential real estate, other business assets and originating and purchasing leases that finance the business activities of small companies. Capital Crossing’s deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC to the extent authorized by law. Capital Crossing conducts business from its executive and main office in Boston, Massachusetts, through its website at www.capitalcrossing.com and through Dolphin Capital Corp. (“Dolphin Capital”), its leasing subsidiary in Moberly, Missouri. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing had total assets of $1.1 billion, deposits of $723.4 million and stockholders’ equity of $76.5 million. At December 31, 2005, under the regulatory capital ratios developed and monitored by the

3

federal bank regulatory agencies and applicable to banks, Capital Crossing’s capital was sufficient to enable it to be qualified as “well capitalized.”

      Capital Crossing currently focuses on purchasing and originating loans and leases through the following principal business lines:

•  Loan Purchasing. Capital Crossing’s loan purchasing business consists of purchasing loans primarily at a discount from their outstanding principal balances. These loans are primarily secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one-to-four family residential real estate and other business assets and are purchased from sellers in the financial services industry or government agencies.

•  Lease Financing. Capital Crossing’s lease business consists of financing equipment to small businesses through its subsidiary, Dolphin Capital. The leased equipment consists principally of water purification systems and office and technology equipment such as copiers and computers. Dolphin Capital also purchases pools of leases from sellers in the financial services industry. The leased equipment in such pools includes dental equipment, laundry equipment, vehicles, restaurant equipment and various other types of business or industrial equipment.

Capital Crossing primarily utilizes a funding strategy of wholesale sources such as brokered certificates of deposit and borrowed funds.

      As a majority-owned subsidiary of Capital Crossing, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of Capital Crossing Preferred are consolidated with those of Capital Crossing for Capital Crossing’s financial reporting and regulatory capital purposes. As such, loans acquired by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing will nevertheless be treated as assets of Capital Crossing for purposes of compliance by Capital Crossing with the FDIC’s regulatory capital requirements and in Capital Crossing’s consolidated financial statements. Interest income on those loans will be treated as interest income of Capital Crossing in Capital Crossing’s consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Loan Portfolio

      Pursuant to the terms of a master mortgage loan purchase agreement entered into by and between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing, Capital Crossing assigns, from time to time, certain loans to Capital Crossing Preferred. In connection with said assignment, Capital Crossing delivers or causes to be delivered to Capital Crossing Preferred the mortgage note with respect to each mortgage endorsed to the order of Capital Crossing Preferred, the original or certified copy of the mortgage with evidence of recording indicated thereon, if available, and an original or certified copy of an assignment of the mortgage in recordable form. Such documents are initially held by Capital Crossing, acting as custodian for Capital Crossing Preferred pursuant to the terms of a master service agreement entered into by and between Capital Crossing and Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Under the terms of the master mortgage loan purchase agreement, Capital Crossing makes certain representations and warranties with respect to the mortgage assets for the benefit of Capital Crossing Preferred regarding information provided with respect to mortgage assets, liens, validity of the mortgage documents, and compliance with applicable laws. Capital Crossing is obligated to repurchase any mortgage asset sold by it to Capital Crossing Preferred as to which there is a material breach of any such representation or warranty, unless Capital Crossing Preferred permits Capital Crossing to substitute other qualified mortgage assets for such mortgage asset. Capital Crossing also indemnifies Capital Crossing Preferred for damages or costs resulting from any such breach. The repurchase price for any such mortgage asset is such asset’s net carrying value plus accrued and unpaid interest on the date of repurchase.

      From time to time, mortgage assets may be returned to Capital Crossing in the form of dividends or returns of capital. Capital Crossing will consider the amounts of such returns when assessing the adequacy of the size and composition of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio and may, from time to time, contribute additional mortgage assets to Capital Crossing Preferred. Capital Crossing will seek to ensure

4

that the mortgage assets it contributes to Capital Crossing Preferred are generally of similar quality and characteristics as those returned to it.

      Future decisions regarding mortgage asset acquisitions by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing will be based on the level of Capital Crossing Preferred’s preferred stock dividends at the time and Capital Crossing Preferred’s required level of income necessary to generate adequate dividend coverage.

Management Policies and Programs

      In administering Capital Crossing Preferred’s mortgage assets, Capital Crossing has a high degree of autonomy. Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors, however, has adopted certain policies to guide the acquisition and disposition of assets, use of capital and leverage, credit risk management and certain other activities. These policies, which are discussed below, may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors without a vote of Capital Crossing Preferred’s stockholders, including Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares, or without a vote of Capital Crossing Preferred’s only common stockholder, Capital Crossing.

      Asset Acquisition and Disposition Policies. Capital Crossing Preferred anticipates that it will, from time to time, purchase additional mortgage assets. Capital Crossing Preferred intends to acquire all or substantially all of such mortgage assets from Capital Crossing on terms that are comparable to those that could be obtained by Capital Crossing Preferred if such mortgage assets were purchased from unrelated third parties. Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing do not currently have specific policies with respect to the purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing of particular loans or pools of loans, other than that such assets must be eligible to be held by a REIT. Capital Crossing Preferred intends generally to acquire only performing loans from Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred may also from time to time acquire mortgage assets from unrelated third parties. To date, Capital Crossing Preferred has not adopted any arrangements or procedures by which it would purchase mortgage assets from unrelated third parties, and it has not entered into any agreements with any third parties with respect to the purchase of mortgage assets. Capital Crossing Preferred anticipates that it would purchase mortgage assets from unrelated third parties only if neither Capital Crossing nor any of its affiliates had an amount or type of mortgage asset sufficient to meet the requirements of Capital Crossing Preferred. Capital Crossing Preferred currently anticipates that the mortgage assets that it purchases will primarily include commercial and multi-family mortgage loans, although if Capital Crossing develops an expertise in additional mortgage asset products, Capital Crossing Preferred may purchase such additional types of mortgage assets. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferred may also from time to time acquire limited amounts of other assets eligible to be held by REITs.

      In order to preserve its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, substantially all of the assets of Capital Crossing Preferred must consist of mortgage loans and other qualified assets of the type set forth in Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. Such other qualifying assets include cash, cash equivalents and securities, including shares or interests in other REITs, although Capital Crossing Preferred does not currently intend to invest in shares or interests in other REITs.

      Capital and Leverage Policies. To the extent that the Board of Directors determines that additional funding is required, Capital Crossing Preferred may raise such funds through additional equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow (after consideration of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of not less than 90% of its REIT taxable income and taking into account taxes that would be imposed on undistributed taxable income), or a combination of these methods.

      Capital Crossing Preferred has no debt outstanding, and it currently does not intend to incur any indebtedness. The organizational documents of Capital Crossing Preferred limit the amount of indebtedness which it is permitted to incur without approval of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred stockholders to no more than 100% of its total stockholders’ equity. Any such debt incurred may include intercompany advances made by Capital Crossing to Capital Crossing Preferred.

5

      Capital Crossing Preferred has guaranteed all of the obligations of Capital Crossing under the advances Capital Crossing may receive from time to time from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”), and has agreed to pledge a significant amount of its assets in connection with these advances. The assets Capital Crossing Preferred pledges to the FHLBB will vary from time to time, however the potential exists for it to pledge all of its assets to the FHLBB to secure advances to Capital Crossing. At December 31, 2005, approximately $29.1 million, or 14.3%, of its assets have been pledged to and accepted by the FHLBB to secure FHLBB advances to Capital Crossing. The FHLBB advances are used by Capital Crossing primarily for the purchase of mortgage assets and to assist in managing Capital Crossing’s interest rate risk exposure. The assets purchased using FHLBB advances generally are available for contribution to or purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred, based upon the asset quality of the assets, and whether the assets were qualified to be held by REITs. The guarantee and pledge were approved by Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors, subject to certain requirements and limitations, including the requirement that Capital Crossing pay Capital Crossing Preferred an annual guarantee fee of $80,000. Capital Crossing Preferred’s guarantee obligations under this arrangement are limited by applicable laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance and fraudulent transfer. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing had borrowing capacity, subject to available qualified collateral at the FHLBB, of $300.0 million, of which $211.9 million was outstanding. Further increases in borrowings are dependent upon the qualification of additional assets as collateral and other factors as may be determined by the FHLBB.

      Capital Crossing Preferred may also issue additional series of preferred stock. However, it may not issue additional shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares without consent of holders of at least two-thirds of each of the outstanding Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares, each voting as a separate class. Although Capital Crossing Preferred’s charter does not prohibit or otherwise restrict Capital Crossing or its affiliates from holding and voting shares of Series A, Series C or Series D preferred stock, to Capital Crossing Preferred’s knowledge the amount of shares of Series A, Series C or Series D preferred stock held by Capital Crossing or its affiliates is insignificant (less than 1%). Similarly, Capital Crossing Preferred may not issue additional shares of preferred stock ranking on parity with the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares without the approval of a majority of its independent directors. Prior to any future issuance of additional shares of preferred stock, Capital Crossing Preferred will take into consideration Capital Crossing’s regulatory capital requirements and the cost of raising and maintaining that capital at the time.

      Conflicts of Interest Policies. Because of the nature of Capital Crossing Preferred’s relationship with Capital Crossing and its affiliates, conflicts of interest have arisen and may arise with respect to certain transactions, including without limitation, Capital Crossing Preferred’s acquisition of mortgage assets from, or return of mortgage assets to Capital Crossing, or disposition of mortgage assets or foreclosed property to, Capital Crossing or its affiliates and the modification of the master service agreement. It is Capital Crossing Preferred’s policy that the terms of any financial dealings with Capital Crossing and its affiliates will be consistent with those available from unaffiliated third parties in the mortgage lending industry. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferred maintains an audit committee of its Board of Directors, which is comprised solely of three independent directors who satisfy the standards for independence promulgated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Among other functions, the audit committee will review transactions between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing and its affiliates. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, Capital Crossing may not subcontract its duties under the advisory agreement to an unaffiliated third party without the approval of Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors, including the approval of a majority of its independent directors. Furthermore, under the terms of the advisory agreement, Capital Crossing provides advice and recommendations with respect to all aspects of Capital Crossing Preferred’s business and operations, subject to the control and discretion of Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors.

      Conflicts of interest between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing and its affiliates may also arise in connection with decisions bearing upon the credit arrangements that Capital Crossing or one of its affiliates may have with a borrower. Conflicts could also arise in connection with actions taken by

6

Capital Crossing as a controlling person of Capital Crossing Preferred. It is the intention of Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing that any agreements and transactions between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing or its affiliates, including, without limitation, the master mortgage loan purchase agreement, are fair to all parties and are consistent with market terms for such types of transactions. The master service agreement provides that foreclosures and dispositions of the mortgage assets are to be performed in a manner substantially the same as for similar work performed by Capital Crossing for transactions on its own behalf. However, there can be no assurance that any such agreement or transaction will be on terms as favorable to Capital Crossing Preferred as would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

      There are no provisions in Capital Crossing Preferred’s charter limiting any officer, director, security holder or affiliate of Capital Crossing Preferred from having any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any mortgage asset to be acquired or disposed of by Capital Crossing Preferred or in any transaction in which Capital Crossing Preferred has an interest or from engaging in acquiring and holding mortgage assets. As described herein, it is expected that Capital Crossing and its affiliates will have direct interests in transactions with Capital Crossing Preferred (including, without limitation, the sale of mortgage assets to Capital Crossing Preferred). It is not currently anticipated, however, that any of the officers or directors of Capital Crossing Preferred will have any interests in such mortgage assets.

      Other Policies. Capital Crossing Preferred intends to operate in a manner that will not subject it to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Capital Crossing Preferred does not intend to:

•  invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control over such issuers;

•  underwrite securities of other issuers;

•  actively trade in loans or other investments;

•  offer securities in exchange for property; or

•  make loans to third parties, including without limitation officers, directors or other affiliates of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Capital Crossing Preferred may, under certain circumstances, and subject to applicable federal and state laws and the requirements for qualifying as a REIT, purchase Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares in the open market or otherwise, for redemption by Capital Crossing Preferred. Any such redemption may generally only be effected with the prior approval of the FDIC.

      Capital Crossing Preferred currently intends to make investments and operate its business at all times in such a manner as to be consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code to qualify as a REIT. However, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the Board of Directors to determine that it is in the best interests of Capital Crossing Preferred and its stockholders to revoke its REIT status which would have the immediate result of subjecting Capital Crossing Preferred to federal income tax at regular corporate rates.

      Under the advisory agreement, Capital Crossing monitors and reviews Capital Crossing Preferred’s compliance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code regarding Capital Crossing Preferred’s qualification as a REIT on a quarterly basis and has an independent public accounting firm, selected by the Board of Directors of Capital Crossing Preferred, periodically review the results of Capital Crossing’s analysis.

Servicing

      The loans in Capital Crossing Preferred’s portfolio are serviced by Capital Crossing pursuant to the terms of the master service agreement. Capital Crossing in its role as servicer under the terms of the master service agreement receives an annual servicing fee equal to 0.20%, payable monthly, on the gross average outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for the immediately preceding month. For the

7

years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, Capital Crossing Preferred incurred $273,000, $302,000 and $460,000, respectively, in servicing fees to Capital Crossing.

      The master service agreement requires Capital Crossing to service the loan portfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work performed by Capital Crossing for transactions on its own behalf. Capital Crossing collects and remits principal and interest payments, maintains perfected collateral positions, submits and pursues insurance claims and initiates and supervises foreclosure proceedings on the loan portfolio it services. Capital Crossing also provides accounting and reporting services required by Capital Crossing Preferred for such loans. Capital Crossing Preferred may also direct Capital Crossing to dispose of any loans which become classified, placed on non-performing status, or are renegotiated due to financial deterioration of the borrower. Capital Crossing is required to pay all expenses related to the performance of its duties under the master service agreement. Capital Crossing may institute foreclosure proceedings and foreclose, manage and protect the mortgaged premises, including exercising any power of sale contained in any mortgage or deed of trust, obtaining a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure or otherwise acquiring title to a mortgaged property underlying a mortgage loan by operation of law or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the master service agreement.

      The master service agreement may be terminated at any time by written agreement between the parties or at any time by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party and appointment of a successor servicer. The master service agreement will automatically terminate if Capital Crossing Preferred ceases to be an affiliate of Capital Crossing.

      Capital Crossing remits daily to Capital Crossing Preferred all principal and interest collected on loans serviced by Capital Crossing for Capital Crossing Preferred.

      When any mortgaged property underlying a mortgage loan is conveyed by a mortgagor, Capital Crossing generally, upon notice of the conveyance, will enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in the mortgage loan, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations. The terms of a particular mortgage loan or applicable law, however, may prohibit Capital Crossing from exercising the due-on-sale clause under certain circumstances related to the security underlying the mortgage loan and the buyer’s ability to fulfill the obligations under the related mortgage note.

Advisory Services

      Capital Crossing Preferred has entered into an advisory agreement with Capital Crossing to administer the day-to-day operations of Capital Crossing Preferred. Capital Crossing is paid an annual advisory fee equal to 0.05%, payable monthly, of the gross average outstanding principal balances of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans for the immediately preceding month, plus reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by Capital Crossing as advisor. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, Capital Crossing Preferred incurred $70,000, $75,000, and $115,000, respectively, in advisory fees payable to Capital Crossing. As advisor, Capital Crossing is responsible for:

•  monitoring the credit quality of the loan portfolio held by Capital Crossing Preferred;

•  advising Capital Crossing Preferred with respect to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of its loans and other assets; and

•  maintaining the corporate and shareholder records of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Capital Crossing may, from time to time, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the advisory agreement to one or more of its affiliates involved in the business of managing mortgage assets or, with the approval of a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors as well as a majority of its independent directors, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the advisory agreement to unrelated third parties. Capital Crossing will not, in connection with the subcontracting of any of its obligations under the advisory agreement, be discharged or relieved in any respect from its obligations under the advisory agreement.

8

      The advisory agreement had an initial term of five years, and currently is renewed each year for an additional one-year period unless Capital Crossing Preferred delivers notice of nonrenewal to Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred may terminate the advisory agreement at any time upon 90 days’ prior notice. As long as any Series A preferred shares, any Series C preferred shares or any Series D preferred shares remain outstanding, any decision by Capital Crossing Preferred either not to renew the advisory agreement or to terminate the advisory agreement must be approved by a majority of its Board of Directors, as well as by a majority of its independent directors. Other than the servicing fee and the advisory fee, Capital Crossing will not be entitled to any fee for providing advisory and management services to Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Loan Purchasing Activities. A substantial portion of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio consists of loans which were purchased by Capital Crossing from third parties. These loans primarily are secured by commercial real estate, multi-family or one-to-four family residential real estate or land located throughout the United States. These loans generally were purchased from sellers in the financial services industry or government agencies. Capital Crossing does not utilize any specific threshold underwriting criteria in evaluating individual loans or pools of loans for purchase, but rather evaluates each individual loan, if it is purchasing an individual loan, or pool of loans, if it is purchasing a pool of loans, on a case by case basis in making a purchase decision as described in more detail below.

      Prior to acquiring a loan or portfolio of loans, Capital Crossing’s loan acquisition group conducts a comprehensive review and evaluation of the loan or loans to be acquired in accordance with its credit policy for purchased loans. This review includes an analysis of information provided by the seller, including credit and collateral files, a review and valuation of the underlying collateral and a review, where applicable, of the adequacy of the income generated by the property to repay the loan. This review is

11

conducted by Capital Crossing’s in-house loan acquisition group, which includes credit analysts, real estate appraisers, environmental specialists and legal counsel.

      The estimated value of the real property collateralizing the loan is determined by Capital Crossing’s in-house appraisal group which considers, among other factors, the type of property, its condition and location and its highest and best use in its marketplace. In many cases, real estate brokers and/or appraisers with specific knowledge of the local real estate market are also consulted. For larger loans, members of Capital Crossing’s in-house loan acquisition group typically visit the real property collateralizing the loan, conduct a site inspection and conduct an internal rental analysis of similar commercial properties in the local area. Capital Crossing analyzes the current and likely future cash flows generated by the collateral to repay the loan. Capital Crossing also considers minimum debt service coverage ratios, consisting of the ratio of net operating income to total principal and interest payments. New tax and title searches may also be obtained to verify the status of any prior liens on the collateral. Capital Crossing’s in-house environmental specialists review available information with respect to each property collateralizing a loan to assess potential environmental risk.

      In order to determine the amount that Capital Crossing is willing to bid to acquire individual loans or loan pools, Capital Crossing considers, among other factors:

•  the collateral securing the loan;

•  the financial resources of the borrowers or guarantors, if any;

•  the recourse nature of the loan;

•  the age and performance of the loan;

•  the length of time during which the loan has performed in accordance with its repayment terms;

•  geographic location;

•  the yield expected to be earned; and

•  servicing restrictions, if any.

      In addition to the factors listed above, Capital Crossing also considers the amount it may realize through collection efforts or foreclosure and sale of the collateral, net of expenses, and the length of time and costs required to complete the collection or foreclosure process in the event a loan becomes non-performing or is non-performing at the purchase date. Under Capital Crossing’s credit policy for purchased loans, all bids are subject to the approval of Capital Crossing’s Chairman or President and any individual loan relationship whose allocated purchase price exceeds $7.5 million is subject to approval by Capital Crossing’s Loan and Investment Committee which consists of Capital Crossing’s Chairman, President, three independent directors and certain other executive officers of Capital Crossing.

      Loan Servicing and Asset Resolution. Capital Crossing has a number of asset managers that are divided into management teams. Loans are assigned to asset managers based on their size and performance status. Additionally, Dolphin Capital employees assist in the servicing of smaller balance loans by making collection calls when such loans become delinquent. In the event that a purchased loan becomes delinquent, or if it is delinquent at the time of purchase, Capital Crossing promptly initiates collection activities. If a delinquent loan becomes non-performing, Capital Crossing may pursue a number of alternatives with the goal of maximizing the overall return on each loan in a timely manner. During this period, Capital Crossing Preferred does not recognize interest income on such loans unless regular payments are being made. In instances when a loan is not returned to performing status, Capital Crossing may seek resolution through negotiating a discounted pay-off with borrowers, which may be accomplished through refinancing by the borrower with another lender, restructuring the loan to a level that is supported by existing collateral and debt service capabilities, or foreclosure and sale of the collateral.

	Total loan portfolio, net of discounts	$	116,116	$	123,994	$	158,444	$	245,431	$	152,127

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s determination that a purchased loan is delinquent is made prospectively based upon the repayment schedule of the loan following the date of purchase by Capital Crossing and not from the origination date of the loan. Thus, if a borrower was previously in default under the loan (and the loan was not initially purchased as a “non-performing” loan), such default is disregarded by Capital Crossing Preferred in making a determination as to whether or not the purchased loan is delinquent for reporting purposes. For example, if Capital Crossing acquires a loan that is past due at the time of acquisition, that loan would not be considered delinquent until it was 90 days past due from Capital Crossing’s purchase date. If Capital Crossing acquires a loan which is contractually delinquent, management evaluates the collectibility of principal and interest and interest would not be accrued when the collectibility of principal and interest is not probable or estimable. Interest income on purchased non-performing loans is accounted for using either the cash basis or the cost recovery method, whereby any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan. A determination as to which method is used is made on a case-by-case basis.

      As servicing agent for Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio, Capital Crossing will continue to monitor Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans through its review procedures and updated appraisals. Additionally, in order to monitor the adequacy of cash flows on income-producing properties, Capital Crossing generally obtains financial statements and other information from the borrower and the guarantor, including, but not limited to, information relating to rental rates and income, maintenance costs and an update of real estate property tax payments.

Impaired Loans

      Capital Crossing Preferred considers a purchased loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it determines that current estimated cash flows are less than the cash flows estimated by Capital Crossing at the date of purchase of the loan by Capital Crossing. A loan originated by Capital Crossing is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Capital Crossing Preferred will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans which have been identified as impaired have been measured by the fair value of the existing collateral. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred had a net recorded investment in impaired loans of $333,000. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. For additional information see Notes 1 and 2 to the Financial Statements.

13

Non-Performing Assets

      The performance of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio is evaluated regularly by management. Management generally classifies a loan as non-performing when the collectibility of principal and interest is ninety days or more past due or the collection of principal and interest is not probable or estimable.

      The accrual of interest on loans and the accretion of discount is discontinued when loan payments are ninety days or more past due or the collectibility of principal and interest is not probable or estimable. Interest income previously accrued on such loans is reversed against current period interest income, and the loan is accounted for using either the cash basis or the cost recovery method whereby any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan. This determination is made on a case-by-case basis. Loans accounted for on the cost recovery method, in general, consist of non-performing loans.

      Loans are returned to accrual status when the loan is brought current in accordance with management’s anticipated cash flows at the time of loan acquisition or origination.

      When Capital Crossing Preferred classifies problem assets, it may establish specific allowances for loan losses or specific nonaccretable discount allocations in amounts deemed prudent by management. When Capital Crossing Preferred identifies problem loans or a portion thereof, as a loss, it will charge-off such amounts or set aside specific allowances or nonaccretable discount equal to the total loss. All of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans are reviewed monthly to determine which loans are to be placed on non-performing status. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferred’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is reviewed by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks and the FDIC during their examinations of Capital Crossing, which may result in the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

      The following table sets forth the amount of non-performing assets by category at the dates indicated:

Nonaccretable Discount and Allowance for Loan Losses

      Nonaccretable Discount. Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the required adoption of Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 03-3, Capital Crossing Preferred was required to change its discount accounting as it relates to acquired loans which, at acquisition, have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and, for which it is probable that Capital Crossing Preferred will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. For such loans, the excess of the undiscounted contractual cash flows over the undiscounted cash flows estimated at the time of acquisition is not accreted into income (nonaccretable discount). The remaining amount, representing the excess of the loan’s estimated cash flows over the purchase price, is accreted into income over the life of the loan (accretable discount).

      For all other loans acquired since January 1, 2005, the discount, which represents the excess of the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections over the purchase price is accreted into interest income using the interest method over the term of the loans and is not accreted on

14

non-performing loans. This is consistent with the method Capital Crossing Preferred used to account for loans purchased prior to January 1, 2005, except an allowance allocation was also made at the time of acquisition. Capital Crossing Preferred no longer increases the allowance through allocations from purchase discount.

      No loans acquired in 2005 were within the scope of SOP No. 03-3.

      Prepayments are not considered in the calculation of accretion income.

      There is judgment involved in estimating the amount of Capital Crossing Preferred’s future cash flows. The amount and timing of actual cash flows could differ materially from management’s estimates, which could materially affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial condition and results of operations. Depending on the timing of an acquisition, a preliminary allocation may be utilized until a final allocation is established. Generally, the allocation will be finalized no later than ninety days from the date of purchase.

      The nonaccretable discount is not accreted into income until it is determined that the amount and timing of the related cash flows are reasonably estimable and collection is probable. If cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated for any loan, and collection is not probable, the cost recovery method of accounting is used. Under the cost recovery method, any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan. Nonaccretable discount is generally offset against the related principal balance when the amount at which a loan is resolved or restructured is determined. There is no effect on the income statement as a result of these reductions.

      Subsequent to acquisition, if cash flow projections improve, and it is determined that the amount and timing of the cash flows related to the nonaccretable discount are reasonably estimable and collection is probable, the corresponding decrease in the nonaccretable discount is transferred to the accretable portion and is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan on the interest method. If cash flow projections deteriorate subsequent to acquisition, the decline is accounted for through a provision for loan losses.

      Included in net loans, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, are approximately $1.5 million and $1.8 million of loans (of which none are non-performing), respectively, for which the net recorded investment represents the amortized cost of these loans, where at acquisition, the amounts of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections were less than the contractual balances owed. These loans were purchased at a price to yield a market rate of interest after considering the credit quality of the loans at acquisition and the aforementioned expected future cash collections. The excess of the contractual balances over the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections represents the predominant portion of the $754,000 and $883,000 of nonaccretable discount at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

      The following table sets forth certain information relating to the activity in the nonaccretable discount for the years indicated:

(1)  Accretion of nonaccretable discount is recognized using the cost recovery method.

      Allowance for Loan Losses. Capital Crossing Preferred’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2005 was $2.0 million. The determination of this allowance requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding the risks inherent in individual loans and the loan portfolio in its entirety. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and may require Capital Crossing Preferred to make additions to its allowance for loan losses. While management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will be proven to be correct in the future. The actual amount of future provisions that may be required cannot be determined, and such provisions may exceed the amounts of past provisions. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio at each date based on the facts known to management as of such date. Management continues to monitor and modify the allowances for general and specific loan losses as economic conditions dictate.

      Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the required adoption of SOP No. 03-3, additions to the valuation allowances relating to newly acquired loans reflect only those losses incurred by Capital Crossing Preferred subsequent to acquisition and general risk allocations on loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated. Capital Crossing Preferred no longer increases the allowance for loan losses through allocations from purchase discount and is no longer allowed to establish impairment reserves at acquisition. However, at the time of acquisition, general risk allocations are established for loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated through a change to earnings. Consequently, it is anticipated that the allowance for loan losses will continue to decline as credits for loan losses may continue to be recorded if loans pay off and allowance allocations related to these loans are not required or additions due to loan impairment are not required.

      No loans acquired in 2005 were within the scope of SOP No. 03-3.

Employees

      Capital Crossing Preferred has six officers, including three executive officers. Each officer of Capital Crossing Preferred currently is also an officer and/or director of Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred will maintain corporate records and audited financial statements that are separate from those of Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred does not have any employees because it has retained Capital Crossing to perform all necessary functions pursuant to the advisory agreement and the master service agreement. There are no provisions in Capital Crossing Preferred’s charter limiting any of the officers or directors from having any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any mortgage asset to be acquired or disposed of by Capital Crossing Preferred or in any transaction in which Capital Crossing Preferred has an interest or from engaging in acquiring and holding mortgage assets. None of the officers or directors currently has, nor is it anticipated that they will have, any such interest in Capital Crossing Preferred’s mortgage assets.

Competition

      Capital Crossing Preferred does not anticipate that it will engage in the business of originating mortgage loans. It does anticipate that it will acquire mortgage assets in addition to those in the loan portfolio and that substantially all these mortgage assets will be acquired from Capital Crossing. The amount of future acquisitions of mortgage assets will be determined based upon the preferred dividend required to be paid by Capital Crossing Preferred and the level of assets required to produce an adequate dividend coverage ratio. Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferred does not expect to compete with mortgage conduit programs, investment banking firms, savings and loan associations, banks, thrift and loan associations, finance companies, mortgage bankers or insurance companies in acquiring its mortgage assets from Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing, however, faces significant competition in the purchase of mortgage loans, which could have an adverse effect on the ability of Capital Crossing Preferred to acquire mortgage loans. If Capital Crossing does not successfully compete in the purchase of mortgage loans, there could be an adverse effect on Capital Crossing Preferred’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The banking industry in the United States is part of the broader financial services industry which also includes insurance companies, mutual funds, consumer finance companies and securities brokerage firms. In recent years, intense market demands, technological and regulatory changes and economic pressures have eroded industry classifications which were once clearly defined. More specifically, in 1999, the U.S. Congress enacted the “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999” (the “1999 Act”), under which banks are no longer prohibited from associating with, or having management interlocks with, a business organization

17

engaged principally in securities activities. The 1999 Act permits bank holding companies that elect to become financial holding companies to engage in defined securities and insurance activities as well as to affiliate with securities and insurance companies. The 1999 Act also permits banks to have financial subsidiaries that may engage in certain activities not otherwise permissible for banks.

      Numerous banks and non-bank financial institutions compete with Capital Crossing for deposit accounts and the acquisition of loans. With respect to deposits, additional significant competition arises from corporate and government debt securities, as well as money market mutual funds. The primary factors in competing for deposit accounts include interest rates, the quality and range of financial services offered and the convenience of office and automated teller machine locations and office hours. Capital Crossing’s competition for acquiring loans includes non-bank financial institutions which may or may not be subject to the same restrictions or regulations as Capital Crossing is. The primary factor in competing for purchased loans is price.

      Capital Crossing faces substantial competition both from other more established banks and from non-bank financial institutions. Most of these competitors offer products and services similar to those offered by Capital Crossing, have facilities and financial resources greater than those of Capital Crossing and have other competitive advantages over Capital Crossing.

Environmental Matters

      In the course of its business, Capital Crossing Preferred has acquired, and may in the future acquire through foreclosure, properties securing loans it has purchased which are in default and involve environmental matters. With respect to other real estate owned, there is a risk that hazardous substances or wastes, contaminants or pollutants could be discovered on such properties after acquisition. In such event, Capital Crossing Preferred may be required to remove such substances from the affected properties at its sole cost and expense and may not be able to recoup any of such costs from any third party.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

      Set forth below are a number of risk factors that may cause Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual results to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement.

      All of these factors should be carefully reviewed, and the reader of this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be aware that there may be other factors that could cause these differences.

General Business Risks

A decline in Capital Crossing’s capital levels may result in the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares being subject to automatic exchange into preferred shares of Capital Crossing

      The returns from an investment in the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares will depend to a significant extent on the performance and capital of Capital Crossing. A significant decline in the performance and capital levels of Capital Crossing or the placement of Capital Crossing into bankruptcy, reorganization, conservatorship or receivership could result in the automatic exchange of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares for preferred shares of Capital Crossing, which would represent an investment in Capital Crossing and not in Capital Crossing Preferred. Under these circumstances:

•  a holder of Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares would be a preferred stockholder of Capital Crossing at a time when Capital Crossing’s financial condition was deteriorating or when Capital Crossing had been placed into bankruptcy, reorganization, conservatorship or receivership and, accordingly, it is unlikely that Capital Crossing would be in a financial position to pay any dividends on the preferred shares of Capital Crossing. An investment in Capital Crossing is also subject to risks that are distinct from the risks associated with an investment in Capital Crossing Preferred. For example, an investment in Capital Crossing would involve risks relating to the capital levels of, and other federal and state regulatory requirements applicable to Capital Crossing and the

	performance of Capital Crossing’s overall loan portfolio and other business lines. Capital Crossing also has significantly greater liabilities and significantly less stockholders’ equity than does Capital Crossing Preferred;
•	if a liquidation of Capital Crossing occurs, the claims of depositors and creditors of Capital Crossing and of the FDIC would have priority over the claims of holders of the preferred shares of Capital Crossing, and therefore, a holder of Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares likely would receive, if anything, substantially less than such holder would receive had the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares not been exchanged for preferred shares of Capital Crossing; and
•	the exchange of the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares for preferred shares of Capital Crossing would be a taxable event to a holder of Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares under the Internal Revenue Code, and such holder would incur a gain or a loss, as the case may be, measured by the difference between such holder’s basis in the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares and the fair market value of Capital Crossing preferred shares received in the exchange.

Because of Capital Crossing Preferred’s obligations to creditors, it may not be able to make dividend or liquidation payments to holders of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares

      The Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares rank:

•  junior to borrowings of Capital Crossing Preferred, including claims of the FHLBB for amounts due or which may become due under Capital Crossing Preferred’s guarantee of Capital Crossing’s obligations to the FHLBB, and any other obligations to Capital Crossing Preferred’s creditors upon its liquidation. As of December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing had $211.9 million in outstanding FHLBB borrowings; and

•  senior to Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock and its Series B preferred stock with regard to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation.

      If Capital Crossing Preferred incurs significant indebtedness, it may not have sufficient funds to make dividend or liquidation payments on the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares. Upon Capital Crossing Preferred’s liquidation, its obligations to its creditors would rank senior to the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred had approximately $142,000 in accounts payable and other liabilities which, upon its liquidation, would be required to be paid before any payments could be made to holders of the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares. In addition, upon Capital Crossing Preferred’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if it does not have sufficient funds to pay the full liquidation amount, to the holders of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares, will share ratably in any distribution in proportion to the full liquidation amount which they otherwise would be entitled and such holders may receive less than the per share liquidation amount.

      The terms of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares limit Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to incur debt in excess of 100% of its stockholders’ equity without the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares, each voting as a separate class, but do not require that Capital Crossing Preferred obtain the approval of the holders of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares to issue additional series of preferred shares which rank equal to the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares as to payment of dividends or amount upon liquidation. As a result, subject to these limitations, Capital Crossing Preferred may incur obligations which may further limit its ability to make dividend or liquidation payments in the future.

Bank regulators may limit the ability of Capital Crossing Preferred to implement its business plan and may restrict its ability to pay dividends

      Because Capital Crossing Preferred is a subsidiary of Capital Crossing, federal and state regulatory authorities will have the right to examine it and its activities and under certain circumstances, to impose

19

restrictions on Capital Crossing or Capital Crossing Preferred which could impact Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to conduct its business according to its business objectives, which could materially adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      If Capital Crossing’s regulators determine that Capital Crossing’s relationship to Capital Crossing Preferred results in an unsafe and unsound banking practice, the regulators could restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to transfer assets, to make distributions to its stockholders, including dividends on its Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares, or to redeem shares of Series A, Series C and Series D preferred stock or even require Capital Crossing to sever its relationship with or divest its ownership interest in Capital Crossing Preferred. Such actions could potentially result in Capital Crossing Preferred’s failure to qualify as a REIT.

      Payment of dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares could also be subject to regulatory limitations if Capital Crossing becomes undercapitalized. Capital Crossing will be deemed undercapitalized if its total risk-based capital ratio is less than 8.0%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is less than 4.0% or its Tier 1 leverage ratio is less than 4.0%. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing had a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.35%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.68% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.77%, which is sufficient for Capital Crossing to be considered well-capitalized. If Capital Crossing becomes undercapitalized or the FDIC anticipates that it will become undercapitalized, the FDIC may direct the automatic exchange of the preferred shares of Capital Crossing Preferred for preferred shares of Capital Crossing. As part of its common stock repurchase program, Capital Crossing has also agreed with the FDIC to maintain, for so long as the repurchase program continues, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 7.00% as well as remaining well capitalized. Capital Crossing Preferred makes no assurance that Capital Crossing will be well-capitalized under applicable regulations as of any future date, which is required in order to continue to repurchase common stock, but which is not a condition to the payment of dividends on the preferred shares. For purposes of calculating these capital ratios as a percentage of Capital Crossing’s risk-weighted assets, as opposed to its total assets, Capital Crossing’s assets are assigned to risk categories based on the relative credit risk of the asset in question. These risk weights consist of 0% for assets deemed least risky such as cash, claims backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and balances due from Federal Reserve banks; 20% for assets deemed slightly more risky such as portions of obligations conditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government or federal funds sold; 50% for assets deemed still more risky such as government issued-revenue bonds, one-to-four family residential first mortgage loans and well-collateralized multi-family residential first mortgage loans; and 100% for all other assets, including private sector loans such as commercial mortgage loans as well as bank-owned real estate.

      While Capital Crossing Preferred believes that dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares should not be considered distributions by Capital Crossing, the FDIC may not agree with this position. Under FDIC regulations on capital distributions, the ability of Capital Crossing to make a capital distribution varies depending primarily on Capital Crossing’s earnings and regulatory capital levels. Capital distributions are defined to include payment of dividends, stock repurchases, cash-out mergers and other distributions charged against the capital accounts of an institution. The FDIC could limit or prohibit the payment of dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares if it determines that the payment of those dividends is a capital distribution by Capital Crossing and that Capital Crossing’s earnings and regulatory capital levels are below specified levels.

Capital Crossing Preferred’s results will be affected by factors beyond its control

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s mortgage loan portfolio is subject to local economic conditions which could affect the value of the real estate assets underlying its loans and therefore, its results of operations will be affected by various conditions in the real estate market, all of which are beyond its control, such as:

•  local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values;

•  the continued financial stability of a borrower and the borrower’s ability to make mortgage payments;

20

•  the ability of tenants to make lease payments;

•  the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants, which may in turn be affected by local conditions, such as oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for rental space in the area;

•  regional experiences of adverse business conditions or natural disasters;

•  interest rate levels and the availability of credit to refinance mortgage loans at or prior to maturity; and

•  increased operating costs, including energy costs, real estate taxes and costs of compliance with environmental controls and regulations.

Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans are concentrated in California and New England and adverse conditions in those markets could adversely affect its operations

      Properties underlying Capital Crossing Preferred’s current mortgage assets are concentrated primarily in California, particularly Southern California, and New England. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 52.8% of the net balances of its mortgage loans were secured by properties located in California and 13.1% in New England. Adverse economic, political or business developments or natural hazards may affect these areas and the ability of property owners in these areas to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages. If either region experienced adverse economic, political or business conditions, or natural hazards, Capital Crossing Preferred would likely experience higher rates of loss and delinquency on its mortgage loans than if its loans were more geographically diverse.

A substantial majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans were originated by other parties

      At December 31, 2005, substantially all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s net loans consisted of loans originated by third parties that were purchased by Capital Crossing and subsequently acquired by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing. When Capital Crossing purchases loans originated by third parties, it generally cannot conduct the same level of due diligence that it would have conducted had it originated the loans. In addition, loans originated by third parties may lack current financial information and may have incomplete legal documentation and outdated appraisals. Although Capital Crossing conducts a comprehensive acquisition review, it also may rely on certain information provided by the parties that originated the loans, whose underwriting standards may be substantially different than Capital Crossing’s. These differences may include less rigorous appraisal requirements and debt service coverage ratios, and less rigorous analysis of property location and environmental factors, building condition and age, tenant quality, compliance with zoning regulations, any use restrictions, easements or rights of ways that may impact the property value and the borrower’s ability to manage the property and repay the mortgage. As a result, Capital Crossing may not have information with respect to an acquired loan which, if known at the time of acquisition, would have caused it to reduce its bid price or not bid for the loan at all. This may adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s yield on loans or cause it to increase its provision for loan losses. In addition, Capital Crossing may acquire loans as part of a pool that, given the opportunity to review and underwrite at the outset, it would not have originated. Loans such as these could have a higher risk of becoming non-performing in the future and adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s results of operations.

More than half of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio is made up of commercial mortgage loans which are generally riskier than other types of loans

      Commercial mortgage loans constituted approximately 62.6% of the total loans, net of discounts in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. Commercial mortgage loans are generally subject to greater risks than other types of loans. Capital Crossing Preferred’s commercial mortgage loans, like most commercial mortgage loans, generally lack standardized terms, may have shorter maturities than other mortgage loans and may not be fully amortizing, meaning that they have a principal balance or “balloon” payment due on maturity. The commercial real estate properties underlying Capital

21

Crossing Preferred’s commercial mortgage loans also tend to be unique and are more difficult to value than other real estate properties. They are also subject to relatively greater environmental risks than other types of loans and to the corresponding burdens and costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Because of these risks related to commercial mortgage loans, Capital Crossing Preferred may experience higher rates of default on its mortgage loans than it would if its loan portfolio was more diversified and included a greater number of owner-occupied residential or other mortgage loans. Higher rates of default will cause Capital Crossing Preferred’s level of impaired loans to increase, which may have a material adverse affect on its results of operation.

Capital Crossing Preferred may not be able to purchase loans at the same volumes or with the same yields as it has historically purchased

      To date Capital Crossing Preferred has purchased all of the loans in its portfolio from Capital Crossing. Historically, Capital Crossing has acquired such loans from:

•  institutions which sought to eliminate certain loans or categories of loans from their portfolios;

•  institutions participating in securitization programs;

•  failed or consolidating financial institutions; and

•  government agencies.

Future loan purchases will depend on the availability of pools of loans offered for sale and Capital Crossing’s ability to submit successful bids or negotiate satisfactory purchase prices. The acquisition of loans is highly competitive. Capital Crossing Preferred cannot assure that Capital Crossing will be able to purchase loans at the same volumes or with the same yields as it has historically purchased. This may interfere with Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to maintain the requisite level of mortgage assets to maintain its qualification as a REIT. If volumes of loans purchased decline or the yields on these loans decline further, Capital Crossing Preferred would experience a material adverse effect on its financial condition.

Capital Crossing Preferred could be held responsible for environmental liabilities of properties it acquires through foreclosure

      If Capital Crossing Preferred chooses to foreclose on a defaulted mortgage loan to recover its investment it may be subject to environmental liabilities related to the underlying real property. Approximately 62.6% of the total loans, net of discounts in Capital Crossing Preferred’s portfolio at December 31, 2005 were commercial mortgage loans, which generally are subject to relatively greater environmental risks than other types of loans. Hazardous substances or wastes, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof may be discovered on properties during Capital Crossing Preferred’s ownership or after a sale to a third party. The amount of environmental liability could exceed the value of the real property. There can be no assurance that Capital Crossing Preferred would not be fully liable for the entire cost of any removal and clean-up on an acquired property, that the cost of removal and clean-up would not exceed the value of the property or that Capital Crossing Preferred could recoup any of the costs from any third party. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferred may find it difficult or impossible to sell the property prior to or following any such remediation. The incurrence of any significant environmental liabilities with respect to a property securing a mortgage loan could have a material adverse effect on Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial condition.

Capital Crossing Preferred is dependent in virtually every phase of its operations on the diligence and skill of the management of Capital Crossing

      Capital Crossing, which holds all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock, is involved in virtually every aspect of Capital Crossing Preferred’s operations. Capital Crossing Preferred has six officers, including three executive officers, and no other employees and does not have any independent corporate infrastructure. All of Capital Crossing Preferred’s officers are also officers of Capital Crossing. Capital

22

Crossing Preferred does not have any employees because it has retained Capital Crossing to perform all necessary functions pursuant to the advisory agreement and the master service agreement.

      Under an advisory agreement between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing, Capital Crossing administers day-to-day activities, including monitoring of Capital Crossing Preferred’s credit quality and advising it with respect to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of mortgage assets and its operations generally. Under a master service agreement between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing, Capital Crossing services Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio. The advisory agreement has an initial term of five years with an automatic renewal feature and the master service agreement has a one-year term with an automatic renewal feature. Both the master service agreement and the advisory agreement are subject to earlier termination upon 30 days and 90 days notice, respectively. Capital Crossing may subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the advisory agreement to its affiliates or, with the approval of a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors including a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors, subcontract its obligations under the advisory agreement to unrelated third parties. Capital Crossing will not, in connection with the subcontracting of any of its obligations under the advisory agreement, be discharged or relieved from its obligations under the advisory agreement.

      The loss of the services of Capital Crossing, or the inability of Capital Crossing to effectively provide such services whether as a result of the loss of key members of Capital Crossing’s management, early termination of the agreements or otherwise, and Capital Crossing Preferred’s inability to replace such services on favorable terms, or at all, could adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to conduct its operations.

Capital Crossing Preferred’s relationship with Capital Crossing may create conflicts of interest

      Capital Crossing and its affiliates may have interests which are not identical to Capital Crossing Preferred’s and therefore conflicts of interest have arisen and may arise in the future with respect to transactions between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing such as:

      Acquisition of mortgage assets. Capital Crossing Preferred anticipates that it will from time to time continue to purchase additional mortgage assets. Capital Crossing Preferred intends to acquire all or substantially all of such mortgage assets from Capital Crossing, on terms that are comparable to those that could be obtained by Capital Crossing Preferred if such mortgage assets were purchased from unrelated third parties. Neither Capital Crossing Preferred nor Capital Crossing currently have specific policies with respect to the purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing of particular loans or pools of loans, other than that such assets must be eligible to be held by a REIT. Although these purchases are structured to take advantage of the underwriting procedures of Capital Crossing, and while Capital Crossing Preferred believes that any agreements and transactions between it, on the one hand, and Capital Crossing and/or its affiliates on the other hand, are fair to all parties and consistent with market terms, neither Capital Crossing Preferred nor Capital Crossing have obtained any third-party valuation to confirm that Capital Crossing Preferred is paying fair market value for these loans, nor does Capital Crossing Preferred anticipate obtaining a third-party valuation in the future. Additionally, through limiting Capital Crossing Preferred’s source of purchased mortgage assets solely to those originated or purchased by Capital Crossing, Capital Crossing Preferred’s portfolio will generally reflect the nature, scope and risk of Capital Crossing’s portfolio rather than a more diverse portfolio composed of mortgage loans also purchased from other lenders.

      Servicing of Capital Crossing Preferred mortgage assets by Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans are serviced by Capital Crossing pursuant to the terms of the master service agreement. Capital Crossing in its role as servicer under the terms of the master service agreement receives an annual servicing fee equal to 0.20%, payable monthly, on the gross average outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for the immediately preceding month. The master service agreement requires Capital Crossing to service the loan portfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work performed by Capital Crossing for transactions on its own behalf. This will become especially important as Capital Crossing

23

services any loans which become classified or are placed on non-performing status, or are renegotiated due to the financial deterioration of the borrower. While Capital Crossing Preferred believes that Capital Crossing will diligently pursue collection of any non-performing loans, Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that this will be the case. Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to make timely payments of dividends will depend in part upon Capital Crossing’s prompt collection efforts on behalf of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Future dispositions by Capital Crossing Preferred of mortgage assets to Capital Crossing or its affiliates. The master service agreement provides that foreclosures and dispositions of the mortgage assets are to be performed in a manner substantially the same as for similar work performed by Capital Crossing on its own behalf. However, Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that any such agreement or transaction will be on terms as favorable to it as would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Capital Crossing may seek to exercise its influence over Capital Crossing Preferred’s affairs so as to cause the sale of the mortgage assets owned by Capital Crossing Preferred and their replacement by lesser quality loans purchased from Capital Crossing or elsewhere which could adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s business and its ability to make timely payments of dividends.

      Future modifications of the advisory agreement or master service agreement. Should Capital Crossing Preferred seek to modify either the advisory agreement or the master service agreement, it would rely upon its officers, all of whom are also officers of Capital Crossing, and/or its directors, three of whom are also officers of Capital Crossing. Thus, Capital Crossing Preferred’s officers and/or directors would be responsible for taking positions with respect to such agreements that, while in Capital Crossing Preferred’s best interests, may not be in the best interests of Capital Crossing. Although the termination, modification or decision not to renew the advisory agreement and/or the master service agreement requires the approval of a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors, Capital Crossing, as holder of all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s outstanding common stock, controls the election of all Capital Crossing Preferred directors, including the independent directors. Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that such modifications will be on terms as favorable to it as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

      The terms of Capital Crossing Preferred’s guarantee of obligations of Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred has guaranteed all of the obligations of Capital Crossing under advances Capital Crossing may receive from time to time from the FHLBB, and has agreed to pledge a significant amount of it’s assets in connection with those advances. The assets Capital Crossing Preferred pledges to the FHLBB will vary from time to time; however, the potential exists for Capital Crossing Preferred to pledge all of its assets to the FHLBB to secure advances to Capital Crossing. In addition, Capital Crossing has pledged to the FHLBB all of the shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s capital stock it owns as collateral for its FHLBB borrowings. Under the terms of the pledge, if Capital Crossing becomes undercapitalized the FHLBB may require Capital Crossing to dissolve Capital Crossing Preferred such that the assets of Capital Crossing Preferred are liquidated. In this circumstance the holders of Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares would receive their liquidation preference only to the extent there are available proceeds from the liquidation of the assets of Capital Crossing Preferred following satisfaction of its outstanding obligations, including its guarantee of Capital Crossing’s FHLBB borrowings. At December 31, 2005, approximately $29.1 million, or 14.3%, of Capital Crossing Preferred assets have been pledged to and accepted by the FHLBB to secure advances to Capital Crossing. As of December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing had $211.9 million in outstanding FHLBB borrowings. The guarantee and pledge were approved by Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors, subject to certain requirements and limitations, including the requirement that Capital Crossing pay Capital Crossing Preferred an annual guarantee fee of $80,000. Any default by Capital Crossing on its obligations which would require Capital Crossing Preferred to satisfy its guarantee could adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s business and its ability to make timely payments of dividends.

      The master loan purchase agreement was not the result of arm’s-length negotiations. Capital Crossing Preferred acquires loans pursuant to the master mortgage loan purchase agreement between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing, at an amount equal to Capital Crossing’s net carrying

24

value for those mortgage assets. While Capital Crossing Preferred believes that the master mortgage loan purchase agreement, when entered into, was fair to all parties and consistent with market terms, all of its officers and three of its directors are, and were at the time the master service mortgage loan purchase agreement was entered into, also officers and/or directors of Capital Crossing and/or affiliates of Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing, as holder of all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s outstanding common stock, controls the election of all Capital Crossing Preferred directors, including the independent directors. Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that the master mortgage loan purchase agreement was entered into on terms as favorable to Capital Crossing Preferred as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Neither Capital Crossing Preferred nor Capital Crossing have specific policies with respect to the purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing of particular loans or pools of loans

      The lack of specific policies with respect to the purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred of loans from Capital Crossing could result in Capital Crossing Preferred acquiring lower quality mortgage assets from Capital Crossing than if such policies were otherwise in place. Neither Capital Crossing Preferred nor Capital Crossing currently have specific policies with respect to the purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing of particular loans or pools of loans, other than that such assets must be eligible to be held by a REIT. Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors has adopted certain policies to guide the acquisition and disposition of assets but these policies may be revised from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors without a vote of Capital Crossing Preferred’s stockholders. Capital Crossing Preferred intends to acquire all or substantially all of the additional mortgage assets it may acquire in the future from Capital Crossing on terms that are comparable to those that could be obtained by Capital Crossing Preferred if such mortgage assets were purchased from unrelated third parties, but Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that this will always be the case.

Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors has broad discretion to revise Capital Crossing Preferred’s strategies

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors has established Capital Crossing Preferred’s investment and operating strategies. These strategies may be revised from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors without a vote of Capital Crossing Preferred’s stockholders. Changes in Capital Crossing Preferred’s strategies could have a negative effect on shareholders.

Capital Crossing Preferred does not obtain third-party valuations and therefore it may pay more or receive less than fair market value for its mortgage assets

      To date, Capital Crossing Preferred has not obtained third-party valuations as part of its loan acquisitions or dispositions and does not anticipate obtaining third-party valuations for future acquisitions and dispositions of mortgage assets. Capital Crossing Preferred does not intend to obtain third-party valuations even where it is acquiring mortgage assets from, or disposing mortgage assets to, one of its affiliates, including Capital Crossing. Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferred may pay its affiliates, including Capital Crossing, more than the fair market value of mortgage assets it acquires and may receive less than the fair market value of the mortgage assets it sells based on a third-party valuation.

Capital Crossing Preferred may pay more than fair market value for mortgages it purchases from Capital Crossing because it does not engage in arm’s-length negotiations with Capital Crossing

      Capital Crossing Preferred acquires mortgage assets from Capital Crossing under a master mortgage loan purchase agreement between it and Capital Crossing, at an amount equal to Capital Crossing’s net carrying value for those mortgage assets. Because Capital Crossing is an affiliate of Capital Crossing Preferred’s, Capital Crossing Preferred does not engage in any arm’s-length negotiations regarding the consideration to be paid. Accordingly, if Capital Crossing’s net carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the mortgage assets, Capital Crossing Preferred would pay Capital Crossing more than the fair market value for those mortgaged assets.

25

Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce Capital Crossing Preferred earnings and affect its ability to pay dividends

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s income consists primarily of interest earned on its mortgage assets and short-term investments. A significant portion of Capital Crossing Preferred’s mortgage assets bears interest at adjustable rates. If there is a decline in interest rates, then Capital Crossing Preferred will experience a decrease in income available to be distributed to its stockholders. If interest rates decline, Capital Crossing Preferred may also experience an increase in prepayments on its mortgage assets and may find it difficult to purchase additional mortgage assets bearing rates sufficient to support payment of dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares. Conversely, an increase in mortgage rates could result in decreased interest income and increased non-interest expense related to workouts and other collection efforts. An increase in interest rates that adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans may lead to an increase in non-performing assets and a reduction of discount accreted into income, which could have a material adverse affect on Capital Crossing Preferred’s results of operation. Because the dividend rates on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares are fixed, a significant decline or increase in interest rates, either of which result in lower net income, could materially adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares.

Tax Risks Related to REITs

If Capital Crossing Preferred fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates

      If Capital Crossing Preferred fails to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. As a result, the amount available for distribution to Capital Crossing Preferred’s stockholders would be reduced for the year or years involved. In addition, unless entitled to relief under statutory provisions, Capital Crossing Preferred would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year which qualification was lost. The failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce Capital Crossing Preferred’s net earnings available for distribution to its stockholders because of the additional tax liability for the year or years involved. Capital Crossing Preferred’s failure to qualify as a REIT would not by itself give it the right to redeem the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares, nor would it give the holders of the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares the right to have their shares redeemed.

      Although Capital Crossing Preferred currently intends to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause it to determine that it is in its best interest and in the best interest of holders of its common stock and preferred stock to revoke its REIT election. The tax law prohibits Capital Crossing Preferred from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of any such revocation.

If Capital Crossing Preferred does not distribute 90% of its net taxable income, it may not qualify as a REIT

      In order to qualify as a REIT, Capital Crossing Preferred generally is required each year to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capital gains. Capital Crossing Preferred may retain the remainder of REIT taxable income or all or part of its net capital gain, but will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates on such income. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferred is subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions considered as paid by Capital Crossing Preferred with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 95% of its capital gains net income for the calendar year and (3) 100% of any undistributed income from prior periods. Under certain circumstances, federal or state regulatory authorities may restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability, as a subsidiary of Capital Crossing, to make distributions to its stockholders in an amount necessary to retain its REIT qualification.

26

Such a restriction could result in Capital Crossing Preferred failing to qualify as a REIT. To the extent Capital Crossing Preferred’s REIT taxable income may exceed the actual cash received for a particular period, Capital Crossing Preferred may not have sufficient liquidity to make distributions necessary to retain its REIT qualification.

Capital Crossing Preferred may redeem the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares at any time upon the occurrence of a tax event

      At any time following the occurrence of certain changes in the tax laws or regulations concerning REITs, Capital Crossing Preferred will have the right to redeem the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares in whole, subject to the prior written approval of the FDIC. Capital Crossing Preferred would have the right to redeem the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares if it received an opinion of counsel to the effect that, as a result of changes to the tax laws or regulations:

•  dividends paid by Capital Crossing Preferred with respect to its capital stock are not fully deductible by it for income tax purposes; or

•  Capital Crossing Preferred are otherwise unable to qualify as a REIT.

      The occurrence of such changes in the tax laws or regulations will not, however, give the holders of the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares any right to have their shares redeemed.

Capital Crossing Preferred has imposed ownership limitations to protect its ability to qualify as a REIT, however, if ownership of the common stock of Capital Crossing becomes concentrated in a small number of individuals Capital Crossing Preferred may fail to qualify as a REIT

      To maintain Capital Crossing Preferred’s status as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of Capital Crossing Preferred’s outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities, during the last half of each taxable year. Capital Crossing Preferred currently satisfies this requirement because for this purpose Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock held by Capital Crossing is treated as held by Capital Crossing’s stockholders. However, it is possible that the ownership of Capital Crossing might become sufficiently concentrated in the future such that five or fewer individuals would be treated as having constructive ownership of more than 50% of the value of Capital Crossing Preferred’s stock. Capital Crossing Preferred may have difficulty monitoring the daily ownership and constructive ownership of its outstanding shares and, therefore, Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that it will continue to meet the share ownership requirement. This risk may be increased in the future as Capital Crossing implements common stock repurchase programs because repurchases may cause ownership in Capital Crossing to become more concentrated. In addition, while the fact that the Series A, the Series C and Series D preferred shares may be redeemed or exchanged will not affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s REIT status prior to any such redemption or exchange, the redemption or exchange of all or a part of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares could adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to satisfy the share ownership requirements in the future.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR CAPITAL CROSSING PREFERRED’S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

Common Stock

      In connection with its formation on March 20, 1998, Capital Crossing Preferred issued 100 shares of its common stock to Capital Crossing. These shares of common stock were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. There is no established public trading market for the common stock. As of March 6, 2006, there were 100 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, all of which were held by Capital Crossing.

      During 2005, 2004 and 2003, dividends of $5.9 million, $19.6 million and $16.1 million, respectively, were paid to the common stockholder. In 2003, dividends of $1.0 million were in the form of mortgage loans. In addition, during 2005, 2004 and 2003, returns of capital totaling $14.1 million, $30.4 million and $118.2 million, respectively, were paid to the common stockholder. In 2003, returns of capital of $8.3 million were in the form of mortgage loans.

Preferred Stock

      On March 31, 1998, Capital Crossing capitalized Capital Crossing Preferred by transferring mortgage loans valued at $140.7 million in exchange for 1,000 shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s 8% Cumulative Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, valued at $1.0 million and 100 shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock valued at $139.7 million. The carrying value of these loans approximated their fair values at the date of contribution.

      On February 1, 1999, Capital Crossing Preferred closed its public offering of 1,260,000 shares of its 9.75% Non-cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, Series A. On February 12, 1999, Capital Crossing Preferred sold an additional 156,130 Series A preferred shares in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option. The net proceeds to Capital Crossing Preferred from the sale of Series A preferred shares were $12.6 million. Series A preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Capital Crossing Preferred, with the prior consent of the FDIC, for shares of Capital Crossing’s 9.75% non-cumulative preferred stock, Series C.

      On May 31, 2001, Capital Crossing Preferred closed its public offering of 1,840,000 shares (including 240,000 shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) of its 10.25% Non-cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, Series C. The net proceeds to Capital Crossing Preferred from the sale of Series C preferred shares were $16.9 million. Series C preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Capital Crossing Preferred on or after May 31, 2006, with the prior consent of the FDIC, for shares of Capital Crossing’s 10.25% Non-cumulative preferred stock, Series D.

      On May 11, 2004, Capital Crossing Preferred closed its public offering of 1,500,000 shares of its 8.50% Non-cumulative exchangeable preferred stock, Series D. The net proceeds to Capital Crossing Preferred from the sale of Series D preferred shares were $35.3 million. Series D preferred stock is redeemable at the option of Capital Crossing Preferred on or after July 15, 2009, with the prior consent of the FDIC, for shares of Capital Crossing’s 8.50% Non-cumulative preferred stock, Series E.

Dividend Policy

      Capital Crossing Preferred currently expects to pay an aggregate amount of dividends with respect to its outstanding shares of capital stock equal to substantially all of its REIT taxable income. In order to remain qualified as a REIT, Capital Crossing Preferred must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains, to stockholders. Because in general it will be in Capital Crossing Preferred’s interest, and in the interests of its stockholders, to remain qualified as a REIT, this tax requirement creates a significant incentive to declare and pay dividends when Capital Crossing Preferred has sufficient resources to do so. Capital Crossing, as holder of all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s common

29

stock, controls the election of all of its directors and also has a significant interest in having full dividends paid on its preferred shares. Capital Crossing Preferred anticipates that none of the dividends on outstanding preferred shares will constitute non-taxable returns of capital.

      Dividends will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors after considering Capital Crossing Preferred’s distributable funds, financial requirements, tax considerations and other factors. Capital Crossing Preferred’s distributable funds will consist primarily of interest and principal payments on the mortgage assets, and Capital Crossing Preferred anticipates that a significant portion of such assets will earn interest at adjustable rates. Accordingly, if there is a decline in interest rates, Capital Crossing Preferred will experience a decrease in income available to be distributed to its stockholders. In a period of declining interest rates, Capital Crossing Preferred also may find it difficult to purchase additional mortgage assets bearing rates sufficient for it to be able to pay dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares.

      The FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations prohibit entities such as Capital Crossing from making “capital distributions,” which include a transaction that the FDIC determines, by order or regulation, to be “in substance a distribution of capital,” unless the institution is at least adequately capitalized after the distribution. There can be no assurances that the FDIC would not seek to restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s payment of dividends on the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares under these regulations if Capital Crossing were to fail to maintain a status of at least adequately capitalized. Currently, an institution is considered adequately capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4.0%. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing’s total risk-based capital ratio was 16.35%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.68% and Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.77%. Capital Crossing’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program whereby, following the required approvals from the FDIC, Capital Crossing is permitted to repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to regulatory considerations. As part of its common stock repurchase program, Capital Crossing has agreed with the FDIC to maintain, for so long as the repurchase program continues, its Tier 1 leverage ratio at least 7.0% and that it remains well-capitalized.

      In addition, the automatic exchange of shares of Capital Crossing preferred stock for shares of Capital Crossing Preferred Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares may take place under circumstances in which Capital Crossing will be considered less than adequately capitalized for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations. Thus, at the time of the automatic exchange, Capital Crossing would likely be prohibited from paying dividends on its preferred shares, including its preferred shares issued in exchange for Capital Crossing Preferred’s Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares. Further, Capital Crossing’s ability to pay dividends on its preferred shares following the automatic exchange also would be subject to various restrictions under FDIC regulations and a resolution of Capital Crossing’s Board of Directors. If Capital Crossing did pay dividends on its preferred shares, such dividends would be paid out of its capital surplus.

      Under certain circumstances, including a determination that Capital Crossing’s relationship with Capital Crossing Preferred results in an unsafe and unsound banking practice, federal and state regulatory authorities will have additional authority to restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to make dividend payments to its stockholders.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For purposes of these Acts, any statement that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed a forward-looking statement. For example, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “may,” “projects,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions may be forward-looking statements. Capital Crossing Preferred cautions investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Capital Crossing Preferred undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. There are a number of factors that could cause Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements, including without limitation the factors set forth below under “Item 1A. RISK FACTORS”. These factors and the other cautionary statements made in this annual report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this annual report. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual results, performance, or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Executive Level Overview

      Net income available to common shareholder decreased $3.6 million, or 37.5%, to $5.9 million in 2005 compared to $9.5 million in 2004 and decreased $14.8 million or 60.9%, in 2004 compared to $24.2 million for 2003. The decrease from 2004 to 2005, as well as from 2003 to 2004, is primarily the result of declines in interest income and credit for loan losses. In addition, there was an increase in preferred stock dividends attributable to the issuance of Series D preferred stock on May 11, 2004. The decrease from 2003 to 2004 is also a result of gains on distribution of loans to the common stockholder in 2003.

      All of the mortgage assets in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005 were acquired from Capital Crossing and it is anticipated that substantially all additional mortgage assets will be acquired from Capital Crossing. As of December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred held loans acquired from Capital Crossing with net investment balances of $116.1 million.

      Commercial mortgage loans constituted approximately 62.6% of the total loans in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005 and commercial mortgage loans are generally subject to greater risks than other types of loans. Capital Crossing Preferred’s commercial mortgage loans, like most commercial mortgage loans, generally lack standardized terms, may have shorter maturities than other mortgage loans and may not be fully amortizing. For these reasons, Capital Crossing Preferred may experience higher rates of default on its mortgage loans than it would if its loan portfolio was more diversified and included a greater number of owner-occupied residential or other mortgage loans.

      Properties underlying Capital Crossing Preferred’s current mortgage assets are also concentrated primarily in California and New England. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 52.8% of the balances of its mortgage loans were secured by properties located in California and 13.1% in New England. In the instance where either region experienced adverse economic, political or business conditions or natural disasters, Capital Crossing Preferred would likely experience higher rates of loss and delinquency on its mortgage loans.

      Since Capital Crossing Preferred is a subsidiary of Capital Crossing, federal and state regulatory authorities will have the right to examine it and its activities and under certain circumstances, to impose restrictions on Capital Crossing or Capital Crossing Preferred which could impact Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to conduct its business according to its business objectives. For instance, if Capital Crossing’s regulators determine that Capital Crossing’s relationship to Capital Crossing Preferred results in an unsafe and unsound banking practice, the regulators could restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to

32

transfer assets, to make distributions to its stockholders or even require Capital Crossing to sever its relationship with or divest its ownership interest in Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Decisions regarding the utilization of Capital Crossing Preferred’s cash are based, in large part, on its future commitments to pay preferred stock dividends. During 2005, the loan portfolio was large enough to generate income resulting in net income, which was 1.91 times preferred stock dividends. Future decisions regarding mortgage asset acquisitions and returns of capital will be based on the level of preferred stock dividends at the time and the required level of income necessary to generate adequate dividend coverage.

      Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the required adoption of SOP No. 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,” Capital Crossing Preferred’s allowance for loan loss methodology has changed. SOP No. 03-3 prohibits “carrying over” or the creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a loan pool purchase and impaired loans acquired in a business combination. Valuation allowances should reflect only those losses incurred by the investor after acquisition. Effective January 1, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred is no longer allowed to increase the allowance through allocations from purchase discount and is no longer allowed to establish impairment reserves at acquisition. However, at the time of acquisition, general risk allocations are established for loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated through a change in earnings. Consequently, it is anticipated that the allowance will continue to decline as credits for loan losses may continue to be recorded if loans pay off and allowance allocations related to these loans are not required or additions due to loan impairment are not required.

      As a result of this accounting change, the financial statements of Capital Crossing Preferred may become more difficult to compare with those of its peers since its business is based mainly upon the acquisition, rather than the origination, of loans. In particular, ratios involving the allowance for loan losses may not be comparable to its peers’ ratios. It is unknown what effect, if any, this accounting change will have in the marketplace with investors.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

      The SEC requested that all registrants discuss their most “critical accounting policies” in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. While Capital Crossing Preferred’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, the following is a summary of the accounting policies believed by management to be most critical in their potential effect on Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial position or results of operations:

      Allowance for Loan Losses. Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses requires a high degree of judgment. Capital Crossing Preferred maintains an allowance for probable loan losses that are inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased or decreased through a provision or credit for loan losses included in earnings. Prior to January 1, 2005, the effective date of SOP No. 03-3, the allowance for loan losses was also increased upon the allocation of purchase discount upon the acquisition of loans. Effective January 1, 2005, no allocation of discount is made to the allowance for loan losses for acquired loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, however, additions for impairment that occur subsequent to acquisition will continue to be recognized through a provision for loan losses included in earnings. At the time of acquisition, only general risk allocations are established for loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated through a change to earnings. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses is decreased upon sales or payoffs of loans for which a related allowance remains unused. Reductions in connection with sales are included in the calculation of the gain or loss, and reductions related to payoffs are recorded as a credit for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the net investment of the loan,

33

or a portion thereof, is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance when cash payments are received.

      In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant judgments. Management initially reviews its loan portfolio to identify loans for which specific allocations are considered prudent. Specific allocations include the results of measuring impaired loans under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114. Next, management considers the level of general loan allowances deemed appropriate for loans. General risk allocations are determined by a formula whereby the portfolio is stratified by type and internal risk rating categories. Loss factors are then applied to each strata based on various considerations including collateral type, loss experience, delinquency trends, current economic conditions, industry standards, and regulatory guidelines. The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of the probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. There can be no assurance that Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual losses with respect to loans will not exceed its allowance for loan losses.

      Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the required adoption of SOP No. 03-3, additions to the valuation allowances relating to newly acquired loans reflect only those losses incurred by Capital Crossing Preferred subsequent to acquisition and general risk allocations on loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated. Capital Crossing Preferred no longer increases the allowance for loan losses through allocations from purchase discount and is no longer allowed to establish impairment reserves at acquisition. However, at the time of acquisition, general risk allocations are established for loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated through a change to earnings. Consequently, it is anticipated that the allowance will continue to decline as credits for loan losses may continue to be recorded if loans pay off and allowance allocations related to these loans are not required or additions due to loan impairment are not required.

      Discounts on Acquired Loans. Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the adoption of SOP No. 03-3, Capital Crossing Preferred is required to change its discount accounting as it relates to acquired loans which, at acquisition, have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable that Capital Crossing Preferred will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. For such loans, the excess of the undiscounted contractual cash flows over the undiscounted cash flows estimated at the time of acquisition is not accreted into income (nonaccretable discount). The remaining amount, representing the excess of the loan’s estimated cash flows over the purchase price, is accreted into income over the life of the loan (accretable discount).

      For all other loans acquired since January 1, 2005, the discount, which represents the excess of the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections over the purchase price is accreted into interest income using the interest method over the term of the loans and is not accreted on non-performing loans. This is consistent with the method Capital Crossing Preferred used to account for loans purchased prior to January 1, 2005, except an allowance allocation was also made at the time of acquisition. Capital Crossing Preferred no longer increases the allowance for loan losses through allocations from purchase discount.

      No loans acquired in 2005 were within the scope of SOP No. 03-3.

      Prepayments are not considered in the calculation of accretion income.

      There is judgment involved in estimating the amount of Capital Crossing Preferred’s future cash flows. The amount and timing of actual cash flows could differ materially from management’s estimates, which could materially affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial condition and results of operations. Depending on the timing of an acquisition, a preliminary allocation may be utilized until a final allocation is established. Generally, the allocation will be finalized no later than ninety days from the date of purchase.

      The nonaccretable discount is not accreted into income until it is determined that the amount and timing of the related cash flows are reasonably estimable and collection is probable. If cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated for any loan, and collection is not probable, the cost recovery method of

34

accounting is used. Under the cost recovery method, any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan. Nonaccretable discount is generally offset against the related principal balance when the amount at which a loan is resolved or restructured is determined. There is no effect on the income statement as a result of these reductions.

      Subsequent to acquisition, if cash flow projections improve, and it is determined that the amount and timing of the cash flows related to the nonaccretable discount are reasonably estimable and collection is probable, the corresponding decrease in the nonaccretable discount is transferred to the accretable discount and is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan on the interest method. If cash flow projections deteriorate subsequent to acquisition, the decline is accounted for through a provision for loan losses included in earnings.

      When a loan is paid-off, the excess of any cash received over the net investment is recorded as interest income. In addition to the amount of purchase discount that is recognized at that time, income may also include interest owed by the borrower prior to Capital Crossing’s acquisition of the loan, interest collected if on non-performing status, prepayment fees and other loan fees.

      Gains and losses on sales of loans are determined using the specific identification method. The excess (deficiency) of any cash received as compared to the net investment is recorded as gain (loss) on sales of loans. There were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2005.

      Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans and its ability to realize gains on the resolution of assets. A significant portion of Capital Crossing Preferred’s earnings results from accelerated interest income resulting from loan payoffs. This type of income can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year based on a number of different factors, including the interest rate environment. An increase in interest rates that adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans may lead to a reduction of discount accreted into income, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

Interest income

      The yields on Capital Crossing Preferred’s interest-earning assets are summarized as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2005							2004							2003
	Average							Average							Average
	Balance		Interest		Yield			Balance		Interest		Yield			Balance		Interest		Yield

Interest-bearing deposits		96,894		1,068		1.10			118,443		1,304		1.10			83,045		1,316		1.58
Total interest-earning assets	$	220,324	$	12,374		5.62	%	$	252,276	$	14,512		5.75	%	$	281,378	$	21,113		7.50	%

(1)  Non-performing loans are excluded from average balance calculations.

      The decline in interest income from 2004 to 2005 is a result of a decrease in the average balance of loans in addition to a decrease in the yield on loans. Average loans, net for 2005 totaled $123.4 million compared to $133.8 million for 2004. This decrease is primarily attributable to pay-offs and amortization of loans. Partially offsetting this decrease is an increase in the amount of loans acquired from Capital Crossing. During 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred acquired $15.3 million in loans compared to $4.3 million in 2004. The decline in yield on loans is primarily due to a decline in interest and fee income recognized on loan pay-offs, offset by a small increase in regularly scheduled interest and accretion income.

      The decline in yield on interest-earning assets from 2003 to 2004 is primarily a result of a decrease in the average balance of loans, in addition to a decline in the interest rate on interest-bearing deposits. The

35

decline in yield on interest-earning assets is due to a shift in the composition of average interest-bearing assets such that average loans represents a smaller percentage of total average interest-bearing assets in 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. Average loans, net for 2004 totaled $133.8 million compared to $198.3 million for 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to pay-offs, sales and amortization of loans. During 2004, Capital Crossing Preferred only acquired $4.3 million in loans. No loans were acquired in 2003.

      Income on loans includes the portion of the purchase discount that is accreted into income over the remaining lives of the related loans using the interest method. Because the carrying value of the loan portfolio is net of purchase discount, the related yield on this portfolio generally is higher than the aggregate contractual rate paid on the loans. The total yield includes the excess of a loan’s expected discounted future cash flows over its net investment, recognized using the interest method.

      When a loan is paid-off, the excess of any cash received over the net investment is recorded as interest income. In addition to the amount of purchase discount that is recognized at that time, income may also include interest owed by the borrower prior to Capital Crossing’s acquisition of the loan, interest collected if on non-performing status and other loan fees (“other interest and fee income”). The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, the components of interest and fees on loans. There can be no assurance regarding future interest income, including the yields and related level of such income, or the relative portion attributable to loan pay-offs as compared to other sources.

		Year Ended December 31,
		2005					2004					2003
		Interest					Interest					Interest
		Income		Yield			Income		Yield			Income		Yield
		(Dollars in Thousands)
Regularly scheduled interest and accretion income		$	9,669		7.83	%	$	10,214		7.63	%	$	15,284		7.70	%
Interest and fee income recognized on loan pay-offs:
	Nonaccretable discount		53		0.04			91		0.07			968		0.49
	Accretable discount		751		0.61			2,381		1.78			2,712		1.37
	Other interest and fee income		833		0.68			522		0.39			833		0.42
			1,637		1.33			2,994		2.24			4,513		2.28
		$	11,306		9.16	%	$	13,208		9.87	%	$	19,797		9.98	%

      The amount of loan pay-offs and related discount income is influenced by several factors, including the interest rate environment, the real estate market in particular areas, the timing of transactions, and circumstances related to individual borrowers and loans. The amount of individual loan payoffs is oftentimes a result of negotiations between Capital Crossing Preferred and the borrower. Based upon credit risk analysis and other factors, Capital Crossing Preferred will, in certain instances, accept less than the full amount contractually due in accordance with the loan terms.

      The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $21.5 million to $96.9 million for 2005 compared to $118.4 million for 2004 and increased $35.4 million in 2004 compared to $83.0 million for 2003. The changes in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits are the result of periodic dividend payments, returns of capital and funds used to purchase additional mortgage assets, offset by cash flows from loan repayments. The yield on interest-bearing deposits remained unchanged from 2004 to 2005. In 2004 and 2003, the yield on interest-bearing deposits decreased as a result of a decline in the interest rate environment.

Credit for loan losses

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio generated credits for loan losses of $516,000, $810,000 and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, to reverse unused general reserves related to loans that have been paid off. The credit for loan losses is based on the volume

36

and types of loan payoffs. As loans pay off, a credit for loan losses is recorded to reduce allowance allocations related to the loans that have paid-off for which a related allowance remains unused. The allowance for loan losses is based on the size of the portfolio and its historical performance. The determination of this allowance requires management’s use of estimates and assumptions regarding the risks inherent in individual loans and the loan portfolio in its entirety. Should the loan portfolio continue to decline without utilization of the allowance for loan losses, future credits for loans losses may be necessary.

Other income

      Guarantee fee income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $80,000 in each year. Effective July 1, 2000, Capital Crossing Preferred entered into an agreement to make certain assets available to be pledged in connection with borrowings of Capital Crossing from the FHLBB. Capital Crossing Preferred receives an annual fee of $80,000 from Capital Crossing under this agreement.

      A gain of $3.0 million was recognized on the distribution of loans to the common stockholder during the third quarter of 2003. These loans were distributed at the estimated fair value on the transfer date, which was higher than the book value of the loans, resulting in the recognition of a gain in connection with this distribution.

      During 2004, there was one loan sale to an unaffiliated third party comprised of two loans, with carrying values of $419,000, resulting in a gain of $76,000. There were no loan sales during 2005 or 2003.

Operating expenses

      Loan servicing and advisory expenses decreased $34,000, or 9.0%, to $343,000 in 2005 from $377,000 in 2004 and decreased by $198,000, or 34.4%, from $575,000 in 2003. The decreases are a result of the decreases in the average balance of the loan portfolio from year to year.

      There was no other real estate owned income, net during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Other real estate owned income for the year ended December 31, 2003 is comprised of a gain of $334,000 on the sale of one property to an unaffiliated third party and rental income of $27,000.

      Other general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of professional fees, shareholder relations, directors’ fees and printing expenses decreased $65,000, or 27.9%, to $168,000 from $233,000 in 2004 and decreased $84,000, or 26.5%, from $317,000 in 2003. The decrease in 2005 is attributable to a decrease in legal fees in connection with loan-related matters, offset by increases in shareholder relations and director’s fees. The decrease in 2004 is primarily attributable to a decrease in legal fees in connection with loan-related matters.

Preferred stock dividends

      Preferred stock dividends increased as a result of the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Series D preferred shares on May 11, 2004. These shares have a liquidation value of $25 per share and a dividend rate of 8.5%. Capital Crossing Preferred intends to pay dividends on its preferred stock and common stock in amounts necessary to continue to preserve its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

Financial Condition

Interest-bearing Deposits with Capital Crossing

      Interest-bearing deposits with Capital Crossing consist entirely of money market accounts. The balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $7.0 million to $88.3 million for 2005 compared to $95.3 million for 2004. The decrease in the balance of interest-bearing deposits is the result of periodic dividend payments, funds used to purchase additional mortgage assets and returns of capital, offset by cash flows from loan repayments.

Loan Portfolio

      The outstanding net investments of the loan portfolio is summarized as follows:

				December 31,
				2005					2004
				Principal		Percentage			Principal		Percentage
				Balance		of Total			Balance		of Total
				(Dollars in Thousands)
Mortgage loans on real estate:
	Commercial real estate			$	72,650		62.57	%	$	83,236		67.13	%
	Multi-family residential				38,392		33.06			35,866		28.93
	Land				3,748		3.23			4,011		3.23
	One-to-four family residential				1,305		1.12			858		0.69
			Total		116,095		99.98			123,971		99.98
	Other				21		0.02			23		0.02
		Total loans, net of discounts		$	116,116		100.00	%	$	123,994		100.00	%

      Capital Crossing Preferred acquires primarily performing commercial real estate and multifamily residential mortgage loans. During 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred acquired $15.3 million in loans from Capital Crossing. During 2004, Capital Crossing Preferred acquired $4.3 million in loans from Capital Crossing.

      Capital Crossing Preferred intends that each loan acquired from Capital Crossing in the future will be a whole loan, and will be originated or acquired by Capital Crossing in the ordinary course of its business. Capital Crossing Preferred also intends that all loans held by it will be serviced pursuant to the master service agreement with Capital Crossing.

      Non-performing loans, net of discount, totaled $333,000 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Loans generally are placed on non-performing status and the accrual of interest and accretion of discount are generally discontinued when the collectibility of principal and interest is not probable or estimable. Unpaid interest income previously accrued on such loans is reversed against current period interest income. A loan is returned to accrual status when it is brought current in accordance with management’s anticipated cash flows at the time of acquisition.

Interest Rate Risk

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s income consists primarily of interest income. If there is a decline in market interest rates, Capital Crossing Preferred may experience a reduction in interest income and a corresponding decrease in funds available to be distributed to its shareholders. The reduction in interest income may result from downward adjustments of the indices upon which the interest rates on loans are based and from prepayments of mortgage loans with fixed interest rates, resulting in reinvestment of the proceeds in lower yielding mortgage loans. Capital Crossing Preferred does not intend to use any derivative products to manage its interest rate risk.

Significant Concentration of Credit Risk

      Concentration of credit risk generally arises with respect to Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio when a number of borrowers engage in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region. Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of Capital Crossing Preferred’s performance to both positive and negative developments affecting a particular industry. Capital Crossing Preferred’s balance sheet exposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit risk of the loans within its loan portfolio.

38

      At December 31, 2005, 52.8% and 13.1% of Capital Crossing Preferred’s net loan portfolio consisted of loans in California and New England, respectively. At December 31, 2004, 47.2% and 13.4% of Capital Crossing Preferred’s net real estate loan portfolio consisted of loans located in California and New England, respectively. Consequently, the portfolio may experience a higher default rate in the event of adverse economic, political or business developments or natural hazards in California or New England that may affect the ability of property owners to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages.

Liquidity Risk Management

      The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for Capital Crossing Preferred’s business expansion. In managing liquidity risk, Capital Crossing Preferred takes into account various legal limitations placed on a REIT.

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s principal liquidity needs are:

•  to maintain an adequate portfolio size through the acquisition of additional mortgage assets as mortgage assets currently in the loan portfolio mature, pay down or prepay, and

•  to pay dividends on the preferred shares and common shares.

      The acquisition of additional mortgage assets is intended to be funded primarily through repayment of principal balances of mortgage assets by individual borrowers. Capital Crossing Preferred does not have and does not anticipate having any material capital expenditures. To the extent that the Board of Directors determines that additional funding is required, Capital Crossing Preferred may raise such funds through additional equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow (after consideration of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income and taking into account taxes that would be imposed on undistributed income), or a combination of these methods. Except for its obligation to guarantee certain borrowings of Capital Crossing, Capital Crossing Preferred does not currently intend to incur any indebtedness. The organizational documents of Capital Crossing Preferred limit the amount of indebtedness which it is permitted to incur without the approval of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred stockholders to no more than 100% of the total stockholders’ equity of Capital Crossing Preferred. Any such debt may include intercompany advances made by Capital Crossing to Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Capital Crossing Preferred may also issue additional series of preferred stock. However, Capital Crossing Preferred may not issue additional shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series A, Series C or Series D preferred shares without the consent of holders of at least two-thirds of the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares, each voting as a separate class, outstanding at that time. Although Capital Crossing Preferred’s charter does not prohibit or otherwise restrict Capital Crossing or its affiliates from holding and voting shares of Series A, Series C or Series D preferred stock, to Capital Crossing Preferred’s knowledge the amount of shares of Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares held by Capital Crossing or its affiliates is insignificant (less than 1%). Additional shares of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares may not be issued without the approval of a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial company in that virtually all assets of Capital Crossing Preferred are monetary in nature. Management believes the impact of inflation on financial results depends upon Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to react to changes in interest rates and by such reaction, reduce the inflationary impact on performance. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction, or at the same magnitude, as the prices of other goods and services.

39

      Various information shown elsewhere in this annual report will assist the reader in understanding how Capital Crossing Preferred is positioned to react to changing interest rates and inflationary trends. In particular, the discussion of market risk and other maturity and repricing information of Capital Crossing Preferred’s assets is contained in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, of this annual report.

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. It is the objective of Capital Crossing Preferred to attempt to control risks associated with interest rate movements. Capital Crossing Preferred’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in holding loans. To that end, management actively monitors and manages the interest rate risk exposure of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s management reviews, among other things, the sensitivity of Capital Crossing Preferred’s assets to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets, purchase and sale activity, and anticipated loan pay-offs. Capital Crossing’s senior management also approves and establishes pricing and funding decisions with respect to Capital Crossing Preferred’s overall asset and liability composition.

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s methods for evaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a given time period. Since Capital Crossing Preferred has no interest-bearing liabilities, a period of rising interest rates would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. A period of falling interest rates would tend to adversely affect net interest income.

      The following table sets forth the Capital Crossing Preferred’s interest-rate-sensitive assets categorized by repricing dates and weighted average yields at December 31, 2005. For fixed rate instruments, the repricing date is the maturity date. For adjustable-rate instruments, the repricing date is deemed to be the earliest possible interest rate adjustment date. Assets that are subject to immediate repricing are placed in the overnight column.

(1)  Loans are presented at net amounts before deducting the allowance for loan losses and excludes non-performing loans.

      Based on Capital Crossing Preferred’s experience, management applies the assumption that, on average, approximately 12% of the fixed and adjustable rates will prepay annually.

      At December 31, 2005, the fair value of net loans was $112.8 million as compared to the net carrying value of net loans of $114.1 million. The fair value of interest-bearing deposits approximates carrying value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

      Capital Crossing Preferred Corporation (“Capital Crossing Preferred”), formerly Atlantic Preferred Capital Corporation, is a Massachusetts corporation organized on March 20, 1998, to acquire and hold real estate mortgage assets. Capital Crossing Bank (“Capital Crossing”), a federally insured Massachusetts trust company, owns all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock.

      On March 31, 1998, Capital Crossing capitalized Capital Crossing Preferred by transferring mortgage loans valued at $140.7 million in exchange for 1,000 shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s 8% Cumulative Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, valued at $1.0 million and 100 shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock valued at $139.7 million. The carrying value of these loans approximated their fair values at the date of contribution.

      In 1999, Capital Crossing Preferred completed the sale of 1,416,130 shares of Series A preferred stock. In 2001, Capital Crossing Preferred completed the sale of 1,840,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In May 2004, Capital Crossing Preferred completed the sale of 1,500,000 shares of Series D preferred stock. See Note 3.

Business

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s business is to hold real estate assets acquired from Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing’s primary business lines include the acquisition of loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and residential real estate, and other business assets and leases from sellers in the financial services industry. Capital Crossing administers the day-to-day activities of Capital Crossing Preferred in its roles as servicer under a master service agreement entered into between Capital Crossing and Capital Crossing Preferred and as advisor under the advisory agreement entered into between Capital Crossing and Capital Crossing Preferred. Capital Crossing Preferred pays Capital Crossing an annual servicing fee equal to 0.20%, payable monthly, and an annual advisory fee equal to 0.05%, also payable monthly, of the gross average outstanding principal balances of loans in the loan portfolio for the immediately preceding month.

Use of estimates

      In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the allocation of purchase discount between accretable and nonaccretable portions, and the rate at which discount is accreted into interest income.

Cash equivalents

      Cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing deposits held at Capital Crossing with original maturities of ninety days or less.

Loans

      A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is composed of loans secured by commercial real estate and multi-family loans located in California and New England. The ability of Capital Crossing Preferred’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic sectors in these regions.

      Loans, as reported, have been adjusted for discounts on loans purchased, net deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses.

      Net deferred loan fees and costs are amortized to interest income using the interest method over the terms of the loans. Discount loan income and credits for loan losses are accounted for on an individual loan basis.

      Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the required adoption of Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 03-3, Capital Crossing Preferred was required to change its discount accounting as it relates to acquired loans which, at acquisition, have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and, for which it is probable that Capital Crossing Preferred will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. For such loans, the excess of the undiscounted contractual cash flows over the undiscounted cash flows estimated at the time of acquisition is not accreted into income (nonaccretable discount). The remaining amount, representing the excess of the loan’s estimated cash flows over the purchase price, is accreted into income over the life of the loan (accretable discount).

      For all other loans acquired since January 1, 2005, the discount, which represents the excess of the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections over the purchase price is accreted into interest income using the interest method over the term of the loans and is not accreted on non-performing loans. This is consistent with the method Capital Crossing Preferred used to account for loans purchased prior to January 1, 2005, except an allowance allocation was also made at the time of acquisition. Capital Crossing Preferred no longer increases the allowance through allocations from purchase discount.

      Prepayments are not considered in the calculation of accretion income.

      There is judgment involved in estimating the amount of Capital Crossing Preferred’s future cash flows. The amount and timing of actual cash flows could differ materially from management’s estimates, which could materially affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial condition and results of operations. Depending on the timing of an acquisition, a preliminary allocation may be utilized until a final allocation is established. Generally, the allocation will be finalized no later than ninety days from the date of purchase.

      The nonaccretable discount is not accreted into income until it is determined that the amount and timing of the related cash flows are reasonably estimable and collection is probable. If cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated for any loan, and collection is not probable, the cost recovery method of accounting is used. Under the cost recovery method, any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan. Nonaccretable discount is generally offset against the related principal balance when the amount at which a loan is resolved or restructured is determined. There is no effect on the income statement as a result of these reductions.

      Subsequent to acquisition, if cash flow projections improve, and it is determined that the amount and timing of the cash flows related to the nonaccretable discount are reasonably estimable and collection is probable, the corresponding decrease in the nonaccretable discount is transferred to the accretable discount

and is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan on the interest method. If cash flow projections deteriorate subsequent to acquisition, the decline is accounted for through a provision for loan losses included in earnings.

      When a loan is paid off, the excess of any cash received over the net investment is recorded as interest income. In addition to the amount of purchase discount that is recognized at that time, income may also include interest owed by the borrower prior to Capital Crossing’s acquisition of the loan, interest collected if on non-performing status, prepayment fees and other loan fees.

      Gains and losses on sales of loans are determined using the specific identification method. The excess (deficiency) of any cash received as compared to the net investment is recorded as gain (loss) on sales of loans. There are no loans held for sale at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

      Accrual of interest on loans and discount accretion are discontinued when loan payments are ninety days or more past due or the collectibility of principal and interest is not probable or estimable. Interest income previously accrued on such loans is reversed against current period interest income, and the loan is accounted for using either the cash basis or the cost recovery method whereby any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan. A determination as to which method is used is made on a case-by-case basis.

      Loans are returned to accrual status when the loan is brought current in accordance with management’s anticipated cash flows at the time of loan acquisition.

      A loan purchased by Capital Crossing is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is determined that estimated cash flows are less than the cash flows estimated by Capital Crossing at the date of purchase of the loan by Capital Crossing. A loan originated by Capital Crossing is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Capital Crossing Preferred will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loan impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by comparing Capital Crossing Preferred’s recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans which have been identified as impaired have been measured by the fair value of existing collateral.

Allowance for loan losses

      Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses requires a high degree of judgment. Capital Crossing Preferred maintains an allowance for probable loan losses that are inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased or decreased through a provision or credit for loan losses included in earnings. Prior to January 1, 2005, the effective date of SOP No. 03-3, the allowance for loan losses was also increased upon the allocation of purchase discount upon the acquisition of loans. Effective January 1, 2005, no allocation of discount is made to the allowance for loan losses for acquired

loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, however, additions for impairment that occur subsequent to acquisition will continue to be recognized through a provision for loan losses included in earnings. At the time of acquisition, only general risk allocations are established for loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated through a change to earnings. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses is decreased upon sales or payoffs of loans for which a related allowance remains unused. Reductions in connection with sales are included in the calculation of the gain or loss, and reductions related to payoffs are recorded as a credit for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the net investment of the loan, or a portion thereof, is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance when cash payments are received.

      In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant judgments. Management initially reviews its loan portfolio to identify loans for which specific allocations are considered prudent. Specific allocations include the results of measuring impaired loans under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114. Next, management considers the level of general loan allowances deemed appropriate for loans. General risk allocations are determined by a formula whereby the portfolio is stratified by type and internal risk rating categories. Loss factors are then applied to each strata based on various considerations including collateral type, loss experience, delinquency trends, current economic conditions, industry standards, and regulatory guidelines. Additional considerations influencing such loss factors are particular concentrations within the portfolio, such as the concentration of loans in California, which accounted for approximately 52.8% of the net mortgage portfolio at December 31, 2005 and concentrations of loans to individual borrowers. The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of the probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. There can be no assurance that Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual losses with respect to loans will not exceed its allowance for loan losses.

      Effective January 1, 2005, and as a result of the required adoption of SOP No. 03-3, additions to the valuation allowances relating to newly acquired loans reflect only those losses incurred by Capital Crossing Preferred subsequent to acquisition and general risk allocations on loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated. Capital Crossing Preferred no longer increases the allowance for loan losses through allocations from purchase discount and is no longer allowed to establish impairment reserves at acquisition. However, at the time of acquisition, general risk allocations are established for loans for which no nonaccretable discount is allocated through a change to earnings. Consequently, it is anticipated that the allowance will decline as credits for loan losses may continue to be recorded if loans pay off and allowance allocations related to these loans are not required or additions due to loan impairment are not required. No loans acquired in 2005 were within the scope of SOP No. 03-3.

Other real estate owned

      Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically updated by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other real estate owned income, net. The excess (deficiency) of any consideration received as compared to the carrying value of other real estate owned is recorded as a gain (loss) on sale of other real estate owned.

Transfers of financial assets

      Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets is surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets are isolated from Capital Crossing Preferred, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) Capital Crossing Preferred does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Income taxes

      Capital Crossing Preferred has elected, for federal income tax purposes, to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferred will not be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent it distributes at least 100% of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and as long as certain assets, income, distribution and stock ownership tests are met in accordance with the IRC. Because management of Capital Crossing Preferred believes it will qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and the reporting of a change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles required recognition by recording a cumulative effect adjustment within net income in the period of change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the specific period effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Capital Crossing Preferred does not believe SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Also included in net loans, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, are approximately $1,522,000 and $1,814,000 of loans (of which none are non-performing), respectively, for which the net recorded investment represents the amortized cost of these loans, where at acquisition, the amounts of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections were less than the contractual balances owed. These loans were purchased at a price to yield a market rate of interest after considering the credit quality of the loans at acquisition and the aforementioned expected future cash collections. The excess of the contractual balances over the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections represents the predominant portion of the $754,000 and $883,000 of nonaccretable discount December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

carrying value of these loans approximated their fair values at the date of purchase or contribution. The total carrying value, including accrued interest, of loans purchased from Capital Crossing for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $15,343,000 and $4,272,000, respectively. No loans were purchased in 2003. No loans were contributed in 2005, 2004 or 2003.

      During 2003, loans with a fair value of $9,367,000 were distributed to Capital Crossing. Of this amount, $1,038,000 was classified as a dividend and the remaining $8,329,000 was classified as a return of capital. Capital Crossing Preferred recognized a gain of $3,008,000 on these distributions. The gains represent the excess of the fair values of the loans over the carrying values of the loans at the time of distribution.

      Effective July 1, 2000, Capital Crossing Preferred entered into an agreement to make certain assets available to be pledged in connection with Capital Crossing’s FHLBB advances. Capital Crossing Preferred receives an annual fee of $80,000 under this agreement. Guarantee fee income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $80,000 in each year. At December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred had pledged $29,100,000 of its assets to secure the FHLBB advances to Capital Crossing. In connection with the guarantee agreement, Capital Crossing Preferred has guaranteed all of the obligations of Capital Crossing under advances Capital Crossing may receive from time to time from the FHLBB.

5.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of estimated fair values of all financial instruments where it is practicable to estimate such values. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      The following methods and assumptions were used by Capital Crossing Preferred in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

      Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and interest-bearing deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

      Certificate of deposit: The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

5.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Concluded)

      Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values of other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The incremental credit risk for non-performing loans has been considered in the determination of the fair value of loans.

      Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

      The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial instruments are as follows:

      Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s management, with the participation of its President and Treasurer, evaluated the effectiveness of Capital Crossing Preferred’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2005. Based on this evaluation, Capital Crossing Preferred’s President and Treasurer concluded that, as of December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred’s disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to Capital Crossing Preferred is made known to the President and Treasurer by others within the entity, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Capital Crossing Preferred in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

      No change to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

      None.

Capital Crossing Preferred’s policy is to forward and not screen any such communication to the addressee.

58

The Board of Directors and its Committees

      The Board of Directors has established two standing committees. The Board of Directors held four meetings and acted by written consent ten times during 2005. During 2005, each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees of which he or she was a member.

      The following is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors:

Audit Committee. Capital Crossing Preferred has an Audit Committee, which consists of Messrs. Ross and Sykes and Dr. Lapidus. Each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the standards for independence promulgated by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”). The Audit Committee reports its activities to the Board of Directors. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to:

•  retain Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent registered public accounting firm and review the scope of the independent registered public accounting firm’s annual audit of Capital Crossing Preferred;

•  review the audit plans of Capital Crossing Preferred and the independent registered public accounting firm;

•  review Capital Crossing Preferred’s quarterly unaudited financial statements and annual audited financial statements;

•  review the results of the annual audit by the independent registered public accounting firm;

•  monitor Capital Crossing Preferred’s internal accounting controls; and

•  review transactions between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing.

The Audit Committee held four meeting in 2005. The Board of Directors has determined that no member of the Audit Committee meets the specific qualification of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has not commenced a search for an individual who meets the specific qualification of an “audit committee financial expert” because the Board believes that the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate and, further, that the Audit Committee has functioned well in the past. The Board of Directors also recognizes the fact that Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial results are consolidated into those of Capital Crossing and such results are, accordingly, also reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Capital Crossing.

Nominating Committee. Capital Crossing Preferred has a Nominating Committee, which consists of Messrs. Ross and Sykes and Dr. Lapidus. Each member of the Nominating Committee satisfies the standards for independence promulgated by Nasdaq. The function of the Nominating Committee is to review and nominate qualified individuals to serve as Directors of Capital Crossing Preferred. The Nominating Committee reports its activities to the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will consider director nominees recommended by holders of voting securities. Any holder of voting securities wishing to nominate a candidate for director must be a shareholder of record at the time it gives notice of such nomination. Capital Crossing Bank is the sole holder of voting securities who may recommend director nominees. The Nominating Committee met once during 2005. In addition to considering director nominees recommended by shareholders, the Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by the Board of Directors and, if necessary, retain independent advisors to assist in identifying qualified individuals. In accordance with the charter of the Nominating Committee, a candidate for director must possess the highest personal and professional integrity, have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and have the ability to work effectively with other members of the Board of Directors, and provide the skills and expertise appropriate to best serve the long-term financial interests of the shareholders. The Nominating Committee’s process for evaluating candidates is to meet with the candidate to assess his or her experience and qualifications; to consider the nominee at a formal meeting of the Nominating

59

Committee; and ultimately to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether the nominee should be nominated for election as a director.

Code of Ethics and Other Matters

      Capital Crossing has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to the Directors of Capital Crossing Preferred. A copy of such Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

      Capital Crossing Preferred does not hold annual shareholder meetings because Capital Crossing holds all of the outstanding voting securities of Capital Crossing Preferred and therefore would be the only shareholder entitled to vote at any such meeting. Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferred does not have a policy with respect to whether its Directors should attend annual shareholder meetings.

      The Board of Directors has determined that Capital Crossing Preferred is a “controlled company,” as defined in Rule 4350(c)(5) of the listing standards of Nasdaq, based on Capital Crossing’s beneficial ownership of 100% of the outstanding voting Common Stock of Capital Crossing Preferred. Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferred is exempt from certain requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards, including the requirement to maintain a majority of independent directors on its Board of Directors.

Compensation of Directors

      In 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred paid its non-executive directors an annual fee of $10,000 each for their services as directors. Capital Crossing Preferred does not pay any compensation to its other directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that Capital Crossing Preferred’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of its outstanding shares of Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities Exchange Commission and Nasdaq. Executive Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by applicable regulations to furnish Capital Crossing Preferred with copies of all reports filed by such persons pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Based on a review of Capital Crossing Preferred’s records and except as set forth below, Capital Crossing Preferred believes that all reports required by the Exchange Act were filed on a timely basis.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

      Capital Crossing Preferred does not have any employees and does not pay any compensation to its officers.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

      The following table sets forth, as of March 6, 2006, the number and percentage of outstanding shares of common stock, Series A preferred shares and Series B preferred shares beneficially owned by (i) each person known by Capital Crossing Preferred to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of such shares; (ii) each director of Capital Crossing Preferred; (iii) each executive officer of Capital Crossing Preferred; and (iv) all executive officers and directors of Capital Crossing Preferred as a group. The persons or entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to each of the shares beneficially owned by such person or entity. The calculations were based on a total of

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Servicing Agreement

      Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio is serviced by Capital Crossing pursuant to the terms of a master service agreement entered into between the two parties. Capital Crossing in its role as servicer under the terms of the master service agreement receives an annual servicing fee equal to 0.20%, payable monthly, of the gross outstanding principal balances of loans in the loan portfolio for the immediately preceding month. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred incurred $273,000 in servicing fees to Capital Crossing.

      The master service agreement requires Capital Crossing to service the loan portfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work performed by Capital Crossing for transactions on its own behalf. Capital Crossing collects and remits principal and interest payments, maintains perfected collateral positions, submits and pursues insurance claims and initiates and supervises foreclosure proceedings on the loan portfolio it services. Capital Crossing also provides accounting and reporting services required by Capital Crossing Preferred for such loans. Capital Crossing may also be directed by Capital Crossing Preferred to dispose of any loans which become classified, placed on non-performing status, or are renegotiated due to the financial deterioration of the borrower.

      Capital Crossing is required to pay all expenses related to the performance of its duties under the master service agreement. Under the master mortgage loan purchase agreement, Capital Crossing is

61

required to repurchase, at the request of Capital Crossing Preferred, any mortgage loan it sold to Capital Crossing Preferred in the event any material representation or warranty pertaining to the mortgage assets is untrue, unless Capital Crossing Preferred permits Capital Crossing to substitute other qualified mortgage assets for such asset. The repurchase price for any such mortgage loan is the outstanding net carrying value thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the date of repurchase. Capital Crossing may institute foreclosure proceedings, exercise any power of sale contained in any mortgage or deed of trust, obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise acquire title to a mortgaged property underlying a mortgage loan by operation of law or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the master service agreement.

      The master service agreement has an initial term of one year and may be terminated at any time by written agreement between the parties or at any time by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party and appointment of a successor servicer. The master service agreement will automatically terminate if Capital Crossing Preferred ceases to be an affiliate of Capital Crossing.

      Capital Crossing remits daily to Capital Crossing Preferred all principal and interest collected on loans serviced by Capital Crossing for Capital Crossing Preferred.

      When any mortgaged property underlying a mortgage loan is conveyed by a mortgagor, Capital Crossing generally, upon notice thereof, will enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in the mortgage loan, to the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations. The terms of a particular mortgage loan or applicable law, however, may provide that Capital Crossing is prohibited from exercising the due-on-sale clause under certain circumstances related to the security underlying the mortgage loan and the buyer’s ability to fulfill the obligations under the related mortgage note.

Advisory Agreement

      Capital Crossing Preferred has entered into an advisory agreement with Capital Crossing to administer the day-to-day operations of Capital Crossing Preferred. Capital Crossing is paid an annual advisory fee equal to 0.05%, payable monthly, of the gross average outstanding principal balance of loans in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio for the immediately preceding month, plus reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by Capital Crossing as advisor. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Capital Crossing Preferred incurred $70,000 in servicing fees payable to Capital Crossing. As advisor, Capital Crossing is responsible for:

•  monitoring the credit quality of the loan portfolio held by Capital Crossing Preferred;

•  advising Capital Crossing Preferred with respect to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of its loans and other assets; and

•  maintaining the corporate and shareholder records of Capital Crossing Preferred.

      Capital Crossing may, from time to time, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the advisory agreement to one or more of its affiliates involved in the business of managing mortgage assets or, with the approval of a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board of Directors as well as a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the advisory agreement to unrelated third parties. Capital Crossing will not, in connection with the subcontracting of any of its obligations under the advisory agreement, be discharged or relieved in any respect from its obligations under the advisory agreement.

      The advisory agreement has an initial term of five years, and will be renewed automatically for additional one-year periods unless notice of nonrenewal is delivered to Capital Crossing by Capital Crossing Preferred. After the initial five year term, the advisory agreement may be terminated by Capital Crossing Preferred at any time upon 90 days’ prior notice. As long as any Series A, Series C and Series D preferred shares remain outstanding, any decision by Capital Crossing Preferred either not to renew the advisory agreement or to terminate the advisory agreement must be approved by a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors. Other than the servicing fee and the advisory fee, Capital

62

Crossing will not be entitled to any fee for providing advisory and management services to Capital Crossing Preferred.

Guarantee and Pledge of Assets

      Capital Crossing Preferred has guaranteed obligations of Capital Crossing to the FHLBB and has agreed to pledge a significant amount of its assets as collateral for advances Capital Crossing may receive from time to time from the FHLBB. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Capital Crossing had outstanding FHLBB advances of $211.9 million and $168.4 million, respectively, for each year. Effective July 1, 2000, Capital Crossing Preferred entered into an agreement to make certain assets available to be pledged in connection with FHLBB borrowings of Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing Preferred receives an annual fee of $80,000 from Capital Crossing under this agreement.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

      Audit Fees. Capital Crossing Preferred paid KPMG LLP $31,000 and $30,000 in fees for its professional services rendered for the audit of the Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and the reviews of the financial statements included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during the year. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferred paid KPMG LLP $117,900 in connection with the preferred stock Series D offering in 2004.

      Tax Fees. Capital Crossing Preferred paid KPMG LLP $12,000 in fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services for 2004. No fees for tax-related work were paid in 2005.

      The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the non-audit services described above for 2004 was compatible with maintaining KPMG LLP’s independence.

      Approval Policies. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to review and approve the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform audit services or any permissible non-audit services. All audit-related services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee, and all non audit-related services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by either: (i) a majority of the members of the Audit Committee; or (ii) the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Since the May 6, 2003 effective date of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules stating that an auditor is not independent of an audit client if the services it provides to the client are not appropriately approved, all non-audit services provided by KPMG were approved in advance by the Audit Committee, and none of those engagements made use of the de minimus exception to pre-approval contained in the Commission’s rules.

Exhibit 14

Capital Crossing Bank

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Introduction

     The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Capital Crossing Bank believes that it is imperative for our Employees and Directors to maintain high standards of honesty and integrity. This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) governs the business decisions made and actions taken by the Bank’s Employees and Directors and is an expression of the Bank’s fundamental and core values, which include: (i) integrity and honesty in the Bank’s and its Employees’ dealings with customers, vendors, business partners, shareholders and the community; (ii) respect for individuality and personal experience and background; and (iii) support of the communities where the Bank and its Employees work and reside.

     These core values and the other standards of conduct in this Code provide general guidance for resolving a variety of legal and ethical questions for Employees and Directors. However, while the specific provisions of this Code attempt to describe certain foreseeable circumstances and to state the Employee’s and Director’s obligations in such event, it is impossible to anticipate all possibilities. Therefore, in addition to compliance with this Code and applicable laws, rules and regulations, all Employees and Directors are expected to observe the highest standards of business and personal ethics in the discharge of their assigned duties and responsibilities.

     The integrity, reputation and profitability of the Bank ultimately depend upon the individual actions of Employees and Directors. As a result, each such individual is personally responsible and accountable for compliance with this Code. This Code is designed to satisfy the standards contained in the federal Sentencing Guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Justice. Finally, this Code is in addition to any other Bank policies and/or agreements and is not intended to reduce or limit other obligations that you may have to the Bank.

     Throughout this Code, certain capitalized terms are used. These terms and their accompanying definitions are as follows:

     “Bank” means Capital Crossing Bank and its subsidiaries.

     “Bank Official” means any Employee or Director.

     “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Bank.

     “Business Firm” means any company, corporation, proprietorship, organization, or enterprise.

     “Designated Bank Official” means the officer of the Bank designated to receive and review reports filed and to make determinations as provided in this Code and otherwise to administer this Code. The Designated Bank Official is the Senior Vice President, Human Resources.

     “Director” means any director of the Bank.

     “Employee” means any person who is currently on the payroll of the Bank for whom the Bank is required to file an Internal Revenue Service Form W-2.

     “FDIC” means the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

     “Immediate Family” means a spouse, children under twenty-five years of age or other persons living in the Bank Official’s home or persons who receive a majority of their support from the Bank Official.

     “Substantial Financial Interest” means any financial interest of any Bank Official that, if considered together with the financial interest of his/her associates, may influence or may be thought to influence his/her actions or judgment in the conduct of the Bank’s business. The direct or indirect ownership of more than five percent (5%) of the shares in any Business Firm with which the Bank conducts any business or transaction shall be deemed to be a Substantial Financial Interest.

Standards of Conduct

A.    Dishonesty or Illegal Conduct

     Use of Bank funds for any unlawful purpose or in violation of Bank policies is prohibited. Any Bank Official who possesses knowledge of illegal payments, unrecorded funds, or false entries maintained for the purpose of facilitating illegal payments or acts, must report this immediately to the Designated Bank Official.

     Because honesty is so basic to our business, any good faith determination by the Bank that a Bank Official has engaged in theft, embezzlement or falsification of records, regardless of materiality, will be cause for immediate dismissal. See also “Misappropriation of Funds and Income”. By way of example only, dishonest conduct which would subject an Employee to immediate dismissal includes, but is not limited to, the following:

(a)	intentionally deceiving the officers of the Bank with intent to defraud;
(b)	loaning Bank funds without a good faith belief that the Bank will be repaid; or
(c)	knowingly receiving or accepting for the Bank any fictitious, valueless, inadequate, or irresponsible obligation directly.

2

B.    Financial Controls

     The Bank’s books and records must accurately reflect all Bank funds, assets and transactions. Entries into Bank records must be made promptly without false or misleading information. The integrity of the Bank’s accounting practices requires that supporting documents are accurate and complete. It is the responsibility of each employee to maintain accurate and current records and to conduct the Bank’s financial, accounting, reporting, and auditing activities in compliance with all laws and regulations and in accordance with the highest ethical standards. Any Employee or Director who has concerns or questions about suspected violations of this Code, other policies and procedures of the Bank, or any applicable government law, rule or regulation involving accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters should contact the Audit Committee by using the Bank’s confidential employee whistleblower hotline which may be accessed via telephone at 1-866-291-6631, on-line at www.openboard.info/capx or via e-mail at capx@openboard.info. All communications are anonymous and confidential. An employee or director will receive confirmation that his/her message has been sent to the Bank’s Audit Committee. However, no one at the Bank or any member of the Audit Committee will be able to track the web site user or the e-mail address of the sender. Telephone calls are encrypted with a computer voice-over so that no one will be able to recognize your voice. By law, the Bank cannot retaliate against any employee or director for whistle blowing.

C.    Confidential Information

     All Bank Officials are required to maintain the Bank’s confidential and proprietary information, including any customer information, in strictest confidence, and to refrain from the use of such information for any purpose outside of the performance of the Official’s duties and responsibilities.

D.    Conflicts of Interest

     The Bank recognizes and respects the right of Bank Officials to engage in outside activities which they may deem proper and desirable, provided that Employees and Directors fulfill their obligations to act in the best interests of the Bank and to avoid situations that present a potential or actual conflict between their personal interests and the Bank’s interests.

     A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Bank Official’s personal interest interferes with the interests of the Bank. Conflicts of interest may arise in many situations. They can arise when a Bank Official takes an action or has an outside interest, responsibility or obligation that may make it difficult for him or her to perform the responsibilities of his or her position objectively and/or effectively in the best interests of the Bank. They may also occur when a Bank Official or his or her family member receives some improper personal benefit as a result of a Bank Official’s position in the Bank. Each individual’s situation is different and in evaluating his or her own situation, an Employee will have to consider many factors.

     Bank Officials, in connection with the business of the Bank or their other interests, must not engage or attempt to engage in self-dealing or otherwise trade or seek to trade on their positions with the Bank. Nor shall Bank Officials accept from a supplier, customer, or any person or company doing or seeking to do business with the Bank, a business opportunity not available to other persons or that is made available because of such Bank Official’s position with the Bank. In addition, any financial link between a member of a Bank Official’s Immediate Family and a customer, supplier, or other person or company dealing with the Bank, must be disclosed to the Bank to determine if it poses a potential conflict of interest.

     Bank Officials must avoid any impression or implication of self-dealing for personal advantage. This includes business opportunities which come to a Bank Official’s attention through the performance of his duties with the Bank. For this reason, no Bank Official may purchase any property (other than

3

obsolete office equipment and similar items on terms and subject to conditions approved in advance by the Designated Bank Official) directly or indirectly from the Bank. This includes Bank premises and equipment, collateral disposed of in settlement of an obligation, or property held as a fiduciary.

     State and federal laws impose certain restrictions and reporting and record keeping requirements on extensions of credit to certain Bank Officials and their related interests. Bank Officials are responsible for complying with such requirements. Any questions concerning these restrictions and reporting and record keeping requirements should be directed to the Designated Bank Official.

     Bank Officials must avoid any relationship — including a personal relationship — with any third party that might, even by implication, injure or impair the Bank’s public position. Periodically, Bank Officials will be required to complete a questionnaire dealing with third party affiliations which must be returned as instructed to the Designated Bank Official.

     Under Title VIII of the Financial Institutions Regulatory and Interest Rate Control Act of 1978, senior Bank Officials are required to file with the Bank an annual disclosure statement regarding transactions with the Bank’s correspondent banks. Furthermore, under the Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act, all Bank Officials are prohibited from serving as management officials of any other depository institution or depository holding company that is not affiliated with the Bank and is located within: (i) the same primary metropolitan area as defined by the Office of Management and Budget, except in the case of depository institutions with less than $20,000,000 in assets in which case paragraph (ii) applies, where an office of the other institution or any depository institution that is an affiliate of that institution is located, or (ii) the same city, town, or village where an office of the other institution or any depository institution that is an affiliate of that institution is located or in any adjacent city, town or village.

E.    Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

     The Bank seeks to conduct its business in compliance with both the letter and the spirit of applicable laws, rules and regulations. No Employee shall engage in any unlawful activity, or instruct others to do so. As an Employee conducts the Bank’s business, he or she may encounter a variety of legal issues. If Employees have questions on specific laws, rules or regulations they should contact the Designated Bank Official.

F.    Other Employment

     No Bank Official may accept or solicit other employment without prior written approval of the Designated Bank Official. Outside employment may not conflict with the interests of the Bank or its customers, or involve the disclosure or use of the Bank’s confidential or proprietary information.

G.    Investment and Outside Business Activities

     The Bank acknowledges that the investment of personal funds as a way to participate in the growth of the economy and to provide for the future is both proper and worthwhile. However, Bank Officials must be aware that their personal financial dealings may reflect upon the character of the Bank. All investments and transactions must be made in accordance with the Bank’s Insider Trading Policy. In addition, all Bank Officials are required to read and execute the Insider Trading Policy. The following guidelines are intended to minimize the risk that personal investments and investments in outside business activities will conflict with the interests of the Bank:

1) The nature of a Bank Official’s position requires adherence to an appropriate and prudent investment policy. In-and-out trading or speculative trading which involves

4

	a high degree of risk is not consistent with the prudent conduct expected of Bank Officials.
2)	Bank Officials are expected to take reasonable steps to assure that their personal financial affairs are managed in a sound and responsible manner.
3)	The selection of a brokerage firm is a personal decision. However, an Employee’s contact with brokers during business hours should be kept to a minimum and must not interfere with his or her normal duties.
4)	Information provided by customers in the normal course of business which is not available to the general public is confidential and must be held inviolate. Such information must never be disclosed to unauthorized persons or used as a basis for personal investment decisions.
5)	All investments by Bank Officials with knowledge of the Bank’s borrower relationships in securities issued by the Bank’s borrowers must be promptly reported, in writing, to the Designated Bank Official and may be made only in conformity with the Bank’s Insider Trading Policy and restrictions of state and federal securities laws applicable to purchases and sales of securities by “insiders.”
6)	All Bank Officials must have advance approval of the Board before investing directly or indirectly in amounts greater than five percent (5%) in the stock or business of a borrower.
7)	No Employee may participate in outside business activities (other than passive investments) or similar activities which do not interfere with his or her responsibilities to the Bank, without prior written approval from the Board.
8)	No Bank Official may use the Bank’s name, affiliations, reputation or property to promote or otherwise benefit the Official’s investments or outside business activities or those of the Official’s Immediate Family or of a third party, without prior written approval from the Designated Bank Official.
9)	It is understood that certain members of the Board may hold interests in various privately-held businesses that may from time to time have depository or borrowing relationships with the Bank. Any loans to Directors, their Immediate Families, or to any Business Firm in which a Director or any member of such Director’s Immediate Family has a significant investment interest (“Directors and/or Affiliates”) must be approved in advance by the Board. Any such loans shall be on terms offered to other customers under similar circumstances and without special concessions and must otherwise comply with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines. In any case in which Directors and/or Affiliates have depository arrangements with the Bank, such depository arrangements shall be on terms offered to other customers under similar circumstances and without special concessions.

H.    Guidelines For Acceptance of Gifts, Favors and Gratuities/Bank Bribery Laws

     A gift is any type of gratuity, favor, service, discount or price concession, loan, legacy (except from a relative), fee, or compensation with anything of monetary value. Gifts to Bank Officials from customers and suppliers may be intended as sincere expressions of friendship and appreciation based on the personal relationships that often develop in the normal conduct of business. Nevertheless, gifts of any kind, whether in the form of food, merchandise, unusual discounts, entertainment, or the use of customer

5

or supplier facilities, may create an appearance of impropriety, cause embarrassment to the Bank, and, at worst, may subject the Bank Officials concerned to criminal prosecution under applicable bank bribery laws. Any Bank Official who is offered a gift should consult and adhere carefully to the guidelines described below:

1)	Federal Bank Bribery Law. The federal Bank Bribery Law (18 U.S.C. §215), as amended, provides for criminal prosecution of anyone who as an officer, director, employee, agent, or attorney of a financial institution corruptly solicits or demands ..., or corruptly accepts or agrees to accept, anything of value from any person intending to be influenced or rewarded in connection with any business or transaction of such financial institution. The Bank Bribery Law also provides for criminal prosecution of any person (whether or not an employee of a bank) who corruptly gives, offers, or promises anything of value to any person with intent to influence or reward an officer, director, employee, agent, or attorney of a financial institution in connection with any business or transaction of such financial institution.
2)	FDIC Bank Bribery Guidelines. Pursuant to the Bank Bribery Law, the FDIC and the other federal banking agencies have promulgated uniform guidelines to assist an officer, director, employee, agent, or attorney of a financial institution to comply with the Bank Bribery Law. The FDIC’s Guidelines encourage all FDIC-insured banks to adopt and enforce internal codes of conduct alerting bank personnel to the provisions of the Bank Bribery Law and providing internal policies and procedures to encourage compliance. In accordance with the recommendations set forth in the FDIC’s Bank Bribery Guidelines, the Board has adopted the policies and procedures set forth below.
3)	Bank Policies and Procedures — General Guidelines. No Bank Official may:

(a)	Solicit or demand for the benefit of the Official or any other person (other than the Bank) anything of value from any Bank customer, Bank supplier, or any other person or Business Firm in return for or consideration of any business service, consideration, or confidential information of the Bank; or
(b)	Accept or agree to accept anything of value (other than bonafide salary, wages, fees or other compensation paid, or expenses paid or reimbursed, in the usual course of business) from any Bank customer, Bank supplier, or any other person or Business Firm in connection with the business of the Bank, before, during, or after a transaction is discussed or consummated.

4) Exceptions. In general, the acceptance of a benefit based on family or personal relationships existing independent of any business of the Bank, will not constitute a violation of the Bank Bribery Law if (a) the benefit is available to the general public under the same conditions on which it is available to the Bank Official, or (b) the benefit would be paid for by the Bank as a reasonable business expense if not paid for by another party. Therefore, the following constitute exceptions to paragraph 4(b) above:

(c) Acceptance of gifts, gratuities, amenities, or favors based on obvious family or personal relationships (such as those between the parents, children or spouse of a Bank Official) where the circumstances make it clear that it is those relationships rather than the business of the Bank that are the motivating factors;

6

(d)	Acceptance of meals, refreshments, entertainment, accommodations, or travel arrangements of reasonable value in the course of a meeting or other occasion, the purpose of which is to hold bona fide business discussions or to foster better business relations, provided that the expense would be paid for by the Bank as a reasonable business expense if not paid for by another party;
(e)	Acceptance of loans from other banks or financial institutions on customary terms to finance proper and usual activities of Bank Officials, such as home mortgage loans, except where prohibited by law;
(f)	Acceptance of advertising or promotional material of reasonable value (no more than $50.00), such as pens, pencils, note pads, key chains, calendars and similar items;
(g)	Acceptance of discounts or rebates on merchandise or services that do not exceed those available to other customers;
(h)	Acceptance of civic, charitable, educational, or religious organization awards for recognition of service and accomplishment;
(i)	Acceptance of gifts of reasonable value (no more than $50.00) that are related to commonly recognized events or occasions, such as a promotion, new job, wedding, retirement, holiday or birthday;
(j)	Acceptance of things of value in other circumstances after written approval by the Designated Bank Official given on the basis of full written disclosure of all relevant facts.

H.    Reporting Requirements

     Whenever a Bank Official receives or is offered a thing of value of a character or under circumstances other than those described in subparagraphs 5(a) through 5(h) above, the Bank Official shall immediately report the relevant facts, in writing, to the Designated Bank Official. The Designated Bank Official shall review the facts with the reporting Bank Official and shall determine whether acceptance by the reporting Bank Official of the gift or offer under the circumstances presented would be consistent with the purposes and intent of the Bank Bribery Law and the policies of the Bank. The Designated Bank Official shall record his or her determination in writing on the report submitted by the reporting Bank Official and shall retain all such reports in a central Bank file maintained for that purpose.

I.    Borrowing From Customers

     Bank Officials may not borrow from or lend personal funds to customers or suppliers. Bank Officials may, of course, borrow from banks or from other companies in the normal course of business as, for example, in the normal extension of credit terms for services performed or goods sold, provided in any case that the extension of credit is on terms offered to other customers, clients, or suppliers under similar circumstances.

J.    Political and Community Activities

     The Bank encourages Bank Officials to take an active interest in the political process and other community activities; however, participation in such activities must be as an individual and not as a representative of the Bank. The Bank’s name and address may not be used in any advertisement or

7

literature, nor may Bank Officials use the Bank’s name or publish any statement regarding the Bank’s business or operations without prior authorization from the Designated Bank Official.

     Federal and state laws prohibit the Bank from contributing corporate funds or property in support of a political party or a candidate for public office. Similarly, the Bank may not compensate Bank Officials for time so dedicated.

     No action may be undertaken by a Bank Official for the perceived benefit of the Bank if the Bank could not legally take such action directly. Questions as to the propriety of any action that may involve a political candidate or charitable campaign must be cleared by the Designated Bank Official before any steps are taken.

     It is contrary to the Bank’s policy and intent to encourage or permit either directly or indirectly the payment of Bank funds or use of Bank property to secure favored business treatment for the Bank. This policy applies to inter-business contacts in the private sector, as well as any transaction involving state, federal or local governments.

     Prior written approval from your supervisor and the Designated Bank Official is required if: (a) you contemplate accepting a public position or elected office; or (b) the political or community organization with which you are involved maintains a relationship with the Bank beyond that of a normal depositor relationship.

     Any activity by an Employee which would significantly encroach upon working time, interfere with regular duties, adversely affect the quality of work performed, or risk subjecting the Bank to criticism or adverse publicity must be approved in advance in writing by the Employee’s supervisor and by the Designated Bank Official.

     Employees may not engage in political or community activities of any kind while performing regular duties during business hours.

K.   Equal Employment Opportunity

     The Bank strives to be a meritocracy by hiring, retaining and promoting based on the performance of each person. All employment decisions are made without regard to a person’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability or military status. Also, all reasonable accommodations will be made for a person’s disability or religious practice.

L.    Sexual Harassment Policy

     The Bank will not tolerate any form of harassment in the workplace, including harassment on the basis of sex. Prohibited conduct includes but is not limited to the following: unwelcome sexual advances; requests for sexual favors; and verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, such as uninvited touching and sexually related comments that create a hostile work environment. The Bank’s policy regarding sexual harassment and other discriminatory harassment is set forth in the Bank’s Sexual Harassment Policy.

M.    ADA Policy

     The Bank is committed to complying fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), which ensures equal opportunity for persons with qualified disabilities. Responsibility for compliance with the ADA is shared throughout the Bank and is specifically assigned to the Designated Bank Official, however, if you supervise others, you are also directly responsible for implementing the Bank’s ADA Policy.

8

N.    Expenses

     All expenses for travel and entertainment incurred on behalf of the Bank should be ordinary and necessary to accomplish a business purpose and be documented in conformity with the established requirements of the Bank. In general, payment by Bank Officials of customary nominal gratuities for services received (“tips”) are permitted if lawful as are gifts and favors of nominal value or entertainment, to the extent they meet the guidelines for ethical business set out in the prior section, in the section “Guidelines For Acceptance of Gifts, Favors and Gratuities/Bank Bribery Laws”.

O.    Disbursements

     Other than as an approved signature authority, no Bank Official shall control disbursements from Bank accounts, a branch of the Bank, or a Bank subsidiary. Further, disbursements shall be only for legitimate Bank purposes, and each shall be clearly disclosed in the financial records.

P.    Purchased Services

     No Bank Official other than a member of the relevant department may commit the Bank to a vendor for any product, service, price or quantity, nor reveal competitive prices or special arrangements. Fees and commissions are a necessary part of various aspects of business activity. The Bank regularly engages the services of brokers, dealers, accountants, appraisers, lawyers, consultants, and so on. Often, evaluations designed to determine who is to be selected to perform a particular service will contain an element of subjectivity. The choice should always be predicated on quality, price and corporate responsibility. These criteria underlie the Bank’s specific purchasing policy. Fees or commissions that are received for other than clearly stated business purposes are not permitted by the Bank.

Q.    Legal Advice

     The Bank is not in the business of practicing law or giving legal advice. Therefore, Bank Officials must be careful to avoid communicating anything to customers, either verbally or in writing, which could be interpreted as legal advice, and Bank Officials should not recommend a particular law firm to customers, although several names may be provided without indicating a preference.

R.    Currency Reporting Act and Bank Secrecy Act

     It is the policy of the Bank to strictly comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and all related statutes and regulations. All Employees should review and maintain familiarity with the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act Policy. The Bank must promptly report all matters that involve apparent crimes affecting its assets or affairs to the applicable governmental agencies. If a Bank Official becomes aware of suspicious activity or to facts which give a reasonable basis for believing a crime has occurred, is occurring, or may occur, the Bank Official should immediately notify the Bank’s Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officer will then coordinate the filing of the required reports. Any questions relating to these matters should be immediately directed to the Compliance Officer.

S.    Integrity of Bank Systems and Records

     Accurate and complete business records are of critical importance to the Bank’s ability to meet its financial, legal and management obligations. All reports, vouchers, bills, payroll and service records, account records, measurement and performance records, transaction records, and other essential data must always be input/prepared accurately, reliably, and with care and honesty.

9

     Improper business practices, such as the deliberate falsification of data, the preparation of misleading reports or records, the willful, unauthorized destruction or alteration of accounts, records or memoranda, or failure to correct records known to be inaccurate, will be cause for immediate dismissal.

     Bank records are maintained in accordance with the rules of the FDIC, the Massachusetts Division of Banks, and other government agencies. The FDIC and some other government agencies require that certain records be retained for specific periods of time. Other records and documents may have to be held in connection with court and regulatory proceedings or for other specific business purposes. Records should, therefore, be kept in accordance with these requirements and destroyed only with Bank authorization.

     All Bank Officials are responsible for following Bank procedures and policies for reporting banking transactions, including appropriate authorization requirements and internal accounting controls, to ensure:

1)	Bank transactions are carried out in an authorized manner.
2)	Bank transactions are reported and recorded to permit correct preparation of required reports and financial statements and to maintain accurate records of assets.
3)	Access to Bank assets and supplies is in accordance with management’s authorization.
4)	Inventories of Bank assets and supplies are taken periodically and appropriate action taken to correct discrepancies.

     If, in the course of performing regular duties, a Bank Official identifies any circumstance which appears to violate the norms of sound and prudent banking or the substance of this Code, it is that Bank Official’s responsibility to promptly call the circumstances to the attention of the Designated Bank Official, the Chairman, President, or an impartial member of executive management.

     Reports of suspicious or unusual activities in oral or written form may be submitted anonymously and will be accepted on a confidential basis if the reporting individual so requests. Bank Officials shall not be subject to reprisals or other adverse action for truthfully reporting suspicious or unusual activities or transactions as provided in this paragraph.

T.    Board Directorships

     Bank Officials are encouraged to participate in appropriate professional groups and responsible civic organizations if such service does not interfere with their duties and responsibilities to the Bank, provided such relationships would not be prohibited or limited because of statutory or administrative requirements regarding conflicts of interest. Again, Bank Officials may not use the Bank’s name or the Official’s affiliation with the Bank to promote the interests of any group or organization without prior written authorization from the Designated Bank Official.

     When participation as a director, officer, incorporator, or trustee of a major outside organization is requested of the Bank and serves the best interests of the Bank, the Chairman or President will designate the appropriate Bank Official for the assignment.

     Bank Officials who are approached directly by an outside organization to join the board of directors or trustees must first obtain the approval of the Chairman, President or the Designated Bank Official. Bank Officials, however, need not obtain prior approval to participate in religious and political organizations. Periodically, Bank Officials will be required to fill out a questionnaire circulated by the

10

Designated Bank Official regarding their involvement as officers and directors of outside organizations (other than political or religious organizations).

U.    Public Inquiries

     The Bank maintains a good relationship with the media and cooperates in providing the public with information about its services. The Chairman and President have primary responsibility for responding to inquiries from the news media. Occasionally, Bank Officials may receive an inquiry from a reporter or shareholder regarding some aspect of the Bank’s affairs. All such inquiries must be routed through the Chairman, President or Investor Relations, except where the information requested is factual information about Bank services offered to the general public. For example, if a reporter were to ask what the Bank’s rate on a Certificate of Deposit is or what deposit is required to open a savings account, this information may be provided. As with answers provided to a customer, the answer must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.

V.   Misappropriation of Funds and Income

     The misappropriation of Bank funds and/or Bank income and/or customer funds is a serious violation of both the law and Bank policy. Misappropriation includes, but is not limited to, theft of funds and the reallocation of funds in any manner including improper payments for gifts, meals, parties or other forms of entertainment.

     If the Bank determines that a Bank Official has misappropriated funds or directed others to do so, that Bank Official’s employment or affiliation with the Bank will be terminated. Further, it is the responsibility of all Bank Officials with knowledge of such a situation to report it immediately. Failure to do so will also result in the termination of the Official’s employment or affiliation with the Bank.

W.    Overdrafts

     This Code prohibits Bank Officials from overdrawing any account they may have with the Bank. The Bank will charge the same fee for overdrafts that is charged to any other customer of the Bank in similar circumstances. The Bank may pay inadvertent overdrafts by a Bank Official in an aggregate amount of $1,000 or less so long as the account is not overdrawn for more than five (5) business days. If an account is overdrawn in an aggregate amount of more than $1,000, the Bank will not pay any of the overdraft(s). At the Bank’s discretion, Officials who overdraw their accounts three (3) times are subject to having their accounts closed.

X.    Reports and Disclosures

     Each year, Bank Officials are required to complete and file an annual compliance statement on the interests and activities covered by this Code. In addition to this annual disclosure, Bank Officials must promptly report any event that might involve or appear to involve any conflict of interest, including those in which the Official was inadvertently placed due to either personal or business relationships with customers, suppliers, business associates, or competitors of the Bank. The information disclosed pursuant to the annual reporting requirement shall include all relevant facts and the specific steps taken to avoid an actual conflict of interests. When in doubt, the information should be disclosed, according to the following protocol:

(a)	Employees, up to and including Executive Vice Presidents, shall disclose to, and seek approval from, the Designated Bank Official, Chairman or President.
(b)	The Chairman, President and all Directors shall disclose to, and seek approval from, the Board.

11

(c) All disclosures including both annual and periodic, and all requests for approval, shall become part of the records of the Board.

Compliance Procedures

A.    Administration

     The Board is responsible for the administration of this Code and may establish such procedures as it shall deem necessary or desirable in order to discharge this responsibility, including delegating authority to officers and engaging advisors. Administration of this Code shall include periodically reviewing this Code and proposing any changes to this Code that are deemed necessary or appropriate. The Board may appoint a Designated Bank Official to perform various ongoing administrative functions in connection with this Code, including responding to questions about this Code and circulating or otherwise communicating updates to this Code. In the event a Designated Bank Official is appointed, Employees and Directors will be informed of his or her appointment and will be provided information regarding how to contact the Designated Bank Official.

B.    Communication of Policies

     A copy of this Code shall be supplied to all Employees and Directors upon beginning service at the Bank. Updates will be provided upon any change to this Code. A copy of this Code is also available to all Employees and Directors by requesting one from the Bank’s Human Resources Department.

C.    Monitoring Compliance and Disciplinary Action

     The Bank’s management, under the supervision of the Board or, in the case of accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, the Audit Committee, shall take reasonable steps from time to time to (i) monitor and audit compliance with this Code, including the establishment of monitoring and auditing systems that are reasonably designed to investigate and detect conduct in violation of this Code and (ii) when appropriate, impose and enforce appropriate disciplinary measures for violations of this Code. The disciplinary measures may include, but are not limited to, counseling, oral or written reprimands, warnings, probation or suspension with or without pay, demotions, reductions in salary, termination of employment or service to the Bank and restitution. The Bank’s management shall periodically report to the Board on these compliance efforts including, without limitation, regular reporting of alleged violations of this Code and the actions taken with respect to any such violation.

D.    Reporting Concerns/Receiving Advice

1) Communication Channels.

(a)

Every Employee should act proactively, where appropriate, by asking questions, seeking guidance and reporting suspected violations with respect to compliance with this Code, other policies and procedures of the Bank, or any applicable government law, rule or regulation. If any Employee believes that actions have taken place, may be taking place, or may be about to take place that violate or would violate this Code, he or she is obligated to bring the matter to the attention of the Bank.

(b)

Unless specific sections of this Code indicate otherwise, the best starting point for an Employee seeking advice on ethics-related issues or reporting potential violations is his or her supervisor. However, if the conduct in question involves his or her supervisor, if the Employee has reported the conduct in question to his or her supervisor and does not believe that he or she has dealt with it properly, or

12

	if the Employee does not feel that he or she can discuss the matter with his or her supervisor, the Employee may raise the matter with the Bank’s Human Resources Department. Any Employee may communicate with the Human Resources Department in person, by telephone or in writing (which may be done anonymously).
(c)	Any Employee or Director who has concerns or questions about violations with respect to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters should contact the Audit Committee by using the Bank’s confidential employee whistleblower hotline which may be accessed via telephone at 1-866-291-6631, on-line at www.openboard.info/capx or via e-mail at capx@openboard.info. All communications are anonymous and confidential.
(d)	Employees must not use this compliance program in bad faith, or in a false or frivolous manner.

(2) Confidentiality; Anonymous Reporting; Retaliation.

(a)	When reporting conduct suspected of violating this Code, the Bank prefers that Employees identify themselves in order to facilitate the Bank’s ability to take appropriate steps to address the report, including conducting any appropriate investigation.
(b)	If an Employee wishes to remain anonymous, he or she may do so, and the Bank will use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the reporting person subject to applicable law, rule or regulation or to any applicable legal proceedings. In the event the report is made anonymously, however, the Bank may not have sufficient information to look into or otherwise investigate or evaluate the allegations. Accordingly, persons who make reports anonymously should endeavor to provide as much detail as is reasonably necessary to permit the Bank to evaluate the matter(s) set forth in the anonymous report and, if appropriate, commence and conduct an appropriate investigation.
(c)	The Bank expressly forbids any retaliation against any Employee who, acting in good faith, reports suspected misconduct. Any person who participates in any such retaliation is subject to disciplinary action, including termination.

E.    Waivers and Amendments

     No waiver of any provisions of this Code for the benefit of any Bank Official shall be effective unless (i) approved by the Board (excluding the vote of the affected Bank Official if that person is a Director), and (ii) if applicable, such waiver is promptly disclosed to the Bank’s shareholders in accordance with applicable United States securities laws and/or the rules and regulations of the exchange or system on which the Bank’s shares are traded or quoted, as the case may be.

     All amendments to this Code must be approved by the Board and if applicable, must be promptly disclosed to the Bank’s shareholders in accordance with applicable United States securities laws and/or the rules and regulations of the exchange or system on which the Bank’s shares are traded or quoted, as the case may be.
