NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

The Company is a Maryland corporation which acquires, holds and manages real estate assets. Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), a federally insured stock savings bank, owns all of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2007 the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the ratios established for “well-capitalized” institutions under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, certain information and notes normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” relating to the recognition of income tax benefits. FIN 48 provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, had no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

 

NOTE 2 – RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS:

 

Residential mortgage loans consist of adjustable-rate mortgages (“ARMs”) and fixed-rate mortgages. The ARMs have interest rates which are fixed for a period (one month, one year, three years, five years, seven years or ten years) and which adjust thereafter based on the margin, index and frequency, subject to interest rate adjustment caps, all as specified in the related mortgage notes. Each of the mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument which created a first lien on a residential dwelling. The following table shows the residential mortgage loan portfolio by type at the dates indicated:

NOTE 3 - PREFERRED STOCK:

 

Cash dividends on the Company’s 10 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) are payable quarterly in arrears. The liquidation value of each Series A Preferred Share is $50 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Company. Except under certain limited circumstances, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights. The Series A Preferred Shares are automatically exchangeable for a new series of preferred stock of the Bank upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Bank.

 

NOTE 4 - DIVIDENDS:

 

During three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $3,890,625 and $7,781,250, respectively, on the Company's preferred stock. Dividends were paid on April 16, 2007 and July 16, 2007.

 

NOTE 5 – LOAN PAYABLE TO PARENT:

 

The Company borrowed $75,000,000 from the Bank on December 20, 2004, and used the proceeds to purchase Residential Mortgage Loans from the Bank. The loan is secured by a portion of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio, and the interest rate on the loan adjusts monthly based on changes in one-month LIBOR.

 

The loan requires no payment of principal until it matures on August 31, 2007, but can be prepaid without penalty at any time. During the six months ended June 2007, the Company made principal payments totaling $39,200,000, leaving an unpaid principal balance of $8,500,000 at June 30, 2007. Interest is payable monthly at a variable rate equal to the sum of one-month LIBOR plus 0.85%. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate was 6.17%.

ITEM 2.

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

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Dividend Coverage

 

Based on the outstanding balance of the Company’s Residential Mortgage Loans (as defined below) at June 30, 2007, and the interest rates on those loans, anticipated annual income on the Company’s loan portfolio, net of interest expense and operating expenses, was approximately 116.9% of the projected annual dividend of $15,562,500 on the Series A Preferred Shares. As of June 30, 2007, the weighted average yield on the Residential Mortgage Loans included in the Company’s portfolio was 6.45%.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans

 

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had $307,456,709 and $346,330,604, respectively, net of allowance for loan losses, invested in loans secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust on single-family residential real estate properties (“Residential Mortgage Loans”). During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Residential Mortgage Loan principal collections of $38,624,082 were used to repay principal on the loan from the Bank. Management intends to continue to reinvest proceeds received from repayments of loans by making payments of principal on the loan from the Bank or by purchasing additional Residential Mortgage Loans from either the Bank or its subsidiaries.

 

At June 30, 2007, the Company had six non-accrual loans (contractually past due 90 days or more or with respect to which other factors indicate that full payment of principal and interest is unlikely) with an aggregate principal balance of $1,033,914 (or 0.34% of loans). At December 31, 2006, the Company had five non-accrual loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1,119,642 (or 0.32% of loans).

 

At June 30, 2007, the Company had eight delinquent loans (delinquent 30-89 days) with an aggregate principal balance of $1,840,122 (or 0.60% of loans). At December 31, 2006, the Company had six delinquent loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1,304,688 (or 0.38% of loans).

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Management reviews the loan portfolio to establish an allowance for estimated losses if deemed necessary. Management performs a quarterly analysis to determine whether an allowance for loan loss is required, and an allowance is provided after considering such factors as historical loss performance, delinquency status, current economic conditions and geographical concentrations. The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to the allowance become necessary, provisions for loan losses are reported in operations. Based on a review of various factors, including estimated exposures in delinquent and non-accrual loans, management increased the allowance for loan losses by $119,667 during the previous quarter. The amount of the allowance in June 30, 2007 was unchanged from the prior quarter. Over the last four quarters, non-accrual loans have increased to $1,033,914 at June 30, 2007, from $405,242 at June 30, 2006, a 155.1% increase. The activity in the allowance for loan losses is shown in the following table.

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s income consists primarily of interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans. If there is a decline in interest rates, then the Company will experience a decrease in income available to be distributed to its stockholders. See “Risk Factors” in the 2006 10-K.

 

As a result of a decline in market interest rates and in order to increase the funds available to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, the Company borrowed $75,000,000 from the Bank in December 2004, and used the proceeds to purchase Residential Mortgage Loans from the Bank. The loan is secured by a portion of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio and the interest rate on the loan adjusts monthly based on changes in one-month LIBOR. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company made principal payments totaling $39,200,000 leaving an unpaid principal balance of $8,500,000 with an interest rate of 6.17%.

 

Another decline in market interest rates could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares or the Common Stock. The Company, to date, has not used any derivative instruments to manage its interest rate risk and has no current plans to do so.

 

There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk disclosures from the disclosures made in the 2006 10-K.

 

Significant Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of customers engage in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of the Company’s performance to both positive and negative developments affecting a particular industry. The Company’s exposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit risk of the Residential Mortgage Loans within the portfolio.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans secured by residential real estate properties located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area comprised 48.5% of the Company’s total loans at June 30, 2007. In addition, 13.2% of the Residential Mortgage Loans are secured by residential real estate properties located in California. Consequently, adverse economic, political or business developments in Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia or California may affect the Company’s loan portfolio to a greater degree than a more diversified portfolio.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company’s financial commitments. In managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations placed on a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), as discussed below in “Tax Status of the Company.”

 

The Company’s principal liquidity needs are to fund the acquisition of additional Mortgage Assets as Mortgage Assets held by the Company are repaid and to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares. The acquisition of Mortgage Assets will be funded with the proceeds of principal repayments on the Company’s current portfolio of Mortgage Assets. The Company does not anticipate that it will have any material capital expenditures. The Company believes that the cash generated from the payment of principal and interest on its Mortgage Asset portfolio will provide sufficient funds to meet its operating requirements, to continue to make additional payments of principal on the loan from the Bank, and to pay dividends in accordance with the REIT qualification requirements discussed below for the foreseeable future. As discussed earlier under “Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Dividend Coverage,” anticipated annual income, based on the mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 2007, is 116.9% of the projected annual dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares.

 

The Company believes that it will be able to continue to meet the requirements to qualify as a REIT for income tax purposes for the foreseeable future.

The Company has no off balance sheet transactions, contractual obligations, contingent liabilities, or commitments as of June 30, 2007.

 

Tax Status of the Company

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on its net income (excluding capital gains) provided that it distributes annually 100% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, meets certain organizational, stock ownership and operational requirements and meets certain income and asset tests. To remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must (a) distribute to stockholders each year at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (not including capital gains) for that year, (b) meet certain income tests, (c) meet certain asset tests and (d) meet certain ownership tests. If in any taxable year the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, the Company would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing its taxable income and would be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition, the Company would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. As of June 30, 2007, the Company met the requirements of all applicable tests.

 

The Company did not pay any income tax during either of the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 or 2006.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2007 (the “2007 quarter”) and 2006 (the “2006 quarter”), the Company reported net income of $4,516,509 and $4,529,178, respectively, a decrease of 0.3%. The slight decrease in net income is primarily attributable to decreased interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans, which was mostly offset by decreased interest expense.

 

Net interest income decreased $16,281 in the 2007 quarter. The Company would have recorded an additional $20,734 in interest income for the 2007 quarter had its non-accrual loans been current in accordance with their original terms.

 

Total interest income was $5,131,321 for the 2007 quarter compared to $5,962,626 for the 2006 quarter, or a decrease of 13.9%. Interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans totaled $5,126,731 for the 2007 quarter compared to $5,954,881 for the 2006 quarter, or a decrease of 13.9%. Average balances of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio decreased to $317,788,944 in the 2007 quarter from $372,421,256 in the 2006 quarter, but was partially offset by an increase in the average yield on those loans to 6.45% in the 2007 quarter from 6.39% in the 2006 quarter.

 

Other interest income of $4,590 and $7,745 was recognized on the Company’s interest-bearing deposits during the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively.

 

During the 2007 and 2006 quarters, the Company incurred interest expense totaling $291,412 and $1,106,436, respectively, a decrease of 73.7%, related to the Company’s loan from the Bank. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance to $14,766,667 in the 2007 quarter from $75,000,000 in the 2006 quarter as a result of the Company’s repayments of a significant portion of the loan. This was partially offset by an increase in the average interest rate to 6.17% in the 2007 quarter from 5.84% in the 2006 quarter.

 

A provision for loan losses of $13,960, equal to the amount of charge-offs for the quarter, was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2007. There was no provision for loan losses and no charge-offs during the 2006 quarter.

 

-10-

 

Operating expenses totaling $309,440 and $327,012 for the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, were comprised of loan servicing fees paid to parent, advisory fees paid to parent, directors’ fees and general and administrative expenses. Loan servicing fees paid to parent were $192,905 and $225,651 for the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively. Advisory fees paid to parent totaled $50,000 for both the 2007 quarter and 2006 quarter. Directors’ fees paid were $8,000 and $10,000 for the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and represent compensation to the two independent members of the Board of Directors. General and administrative expenses totaled $58,535 and $41,361 for the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, or an increase of 41.5%, primarily due to increases in rating agency and external auditor fees.

 

During the 2007 quarter, the Company’s Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $3,890,625 on the Company's preferred stock, which were paid out of the retained earnings of the Company on July 16, 2007.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 (the “2007 period”) and 2006 (the “2006 period”), the Company reported net income of $8,949,566 and $9,099,835, respectively, or a decrease of 1.65%. The slight decrease in net income is primarily attributable to decreased interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans, which was mostly offset by decreased interest expense.

 

Net interest income decreased $50,356 (or 0.5%) in the 2007 period. The Company would have recorded an additional $39,413 in interest income for the 2007 period had its non-accrual loans been current in accordance with their original terms.

 

Total interest income was $10,613,385 for the 2007 period compared to $11,869,224 for the 2006 period, a decrease of 10.6%. Interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans totaled $10,602,936 for the 2007 period, compared to $11,855,436 for the 2006 period, a decrease of 10.6%. Average balances of the Residential Mortgage loan portfolio decreased to $328,279,419 in the 2007 period from $373,083,949 in the 2006 period, but was partially offset by an increase in the average yield on those loans to 6.45% in the 2007 period from 6.36% in the 2006 period.

 

Other interest income of $10,450 and $13,788 was recognized on the Company’s interest-bearing deposits during the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively.

 

During the 2007 and 2006 periods, the Company incurred interest expense totaling $909,132 and $2,114,613, respectively, related to the Company’s loan from the Bank. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance to $25,900,000 in the 2007 period from $75,000,000 in the 2006 period resulting from the Company’s repayments of a significant portion of the loan. This was partially offset by an increase in the average interest rate to 6.17% in the 2007 period from 5.51% in the 2006 period.

 

A provision for loan losses of $133,696 or $119,667 in excess of charge-offs was recorded for the 2007 period. There was no provision for loan losses and no charge-offs recorded for the 2006 period.

 

Operating expenses totaling $620,991 and $654,776 for the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, were comprised of loan servicing fees paid to parent, advisory fees paid to parent, directors’ fees and general and administrative expenses. Loan servicing fees paid to parent were $400,024 and $455,922 for the 2007 and 2006 periods, or a decrease of 12.3%. Advisory fees paid to parent for the 2007 and 2006 periods totaled $100,000 for each period. Directors’ fees paid for the 2007 and 2006 periods totaled $16,000 for each period, and represent compensation to the two independent members of the Board of Directors. General and administrative expenses totaled $104,967 and $82,854 for the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, or an increase of 26.7%, primarily due to increases in rating agency fees and external auditor fees.

 

During the 2007 period, the Company's Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $7,781,250 on the Company’s preferred stock out of retained earnings of the Company.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Information required by this item is included in “Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Interest Rate Risk,” which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2007.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
