NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1.    In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Trust’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

 

2.    The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of B. F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Real Estate Trust”), which are involved in the ownership and development of income-producing properties. The accounts of the Trust’s 80%-owned banking subsidiary, Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B., and its subsidiaries (“Chevy Chase” or the “Bank”) have also been consolidated. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows for two business segments: Real Estate and Banking. All significant intercompany transactions, except as disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements, have been eliminated in consolidation. Tax sharing and dividend payments between the Real Estate Trust and the bank are presented gross in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

REAL ESTATE

 

The Real Estate Trust’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2002, consisted primarily of hotels, office projects, and land parcels. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Real Estate Trust’s hotel portfolio included 18 properties containing 3,578 available rooms.

 

The hotel portfolio experienced an average occupancy rate of 56% and an average room rate of $84.75 during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, compared to an average occupancy of 54% and an average room rate of $84.68 during the same period in the prior year. REVPAR (revenue per available room) for the hotels was $47.04 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002, a 3.0% increase over REVPAR for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 of $45.67.

 

Office space in the Real Estate Trust’s office property portfolio was 88% leased at December 31, 2002, compared to a leasing rate of 87% at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2002, the Real Estate Trust’s office property portfolio consisted of 13 properties and had a total gross leasable area of 1,978,000 square feet, of which 383,000 square feet (19.4%) and 305,000 square feet (15.4%) are subject to leases expiring in the remainder of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004.

BANKING

 

General.     The Bank’s assets increased by $295.3 million during the current quarter to $11.6 billion at December 31, 2002. Total loans and leases increased $420.4 million to $9.3 billion at December 31, 2002. The Bank recorded operating income of $27.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, compared to operating income of $20.8 million in the prior corresponding quarter. An increase in other (non-interest) income and a decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses were partially offset by lower net interest income and higher operating expenses.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Bank’s tangible, core, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.52%, 5.52%, 6.96% and 10.76%, respectively. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the requirements under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) as well as the standards established for “well-capitalized” institutions under the prompt corrective action regulations issued pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”). See “Capital.”

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Bank declared and paid out of retained earnings a cash dividend on its Common Stock in the amount of $500 per share.

 

During the December quarter, the amount of delinquent and non-performing loans in the Bank’s various portfolios increased as a result of seasonal trends and adverse general economic conditions. The levels of delinquent and non-performing loans could increase further if general economic conditions do not improve.

 

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

Table of Contents

 

Non-performing assets totaled $53.9 million, after valuation allowances on REO of $71.2 million, at December 31, 2002, compared to $50.1 million, after valuation allowances on REO of $71.3 million, at September 30, 2002. In addition to the valuation allowances on REO, the Bank maintained $73.8 million and $71.1 million of valuation allowances on its loan and lease portfolio at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively. The $3.8 million increase in non-performing assets for the current quarter resulted from a $3.5 million increase in non-accrual loans and a $0.3 million increase in REO. See “Non-accrual Loans” and “REO.”

 

Non-accrual Loans.  The Bank’s non-accrual loans increased to $30.3 million at December 31, 2002 from $26.8 million at September 30, 2002. Non-accrual residential real estate loans increased from $14.3 million to $17.6 million, non-accrual commercial loans decreased from $2.3 million to $0.5 million and non-accrual consumer and other loans increased from $10.1 million to $12.2 million. The overall increase in non-accrual loans was largely the result of adverse economic conditions and traditional seasonal trends.

 

REO.  At December 31, 2002, the Bank’s REO totaled $23.7 million, after valuation allowances on such assets of $71.2 million as set forth in the following table. The principal component of REO consists of two planned unit developments (the “Communities”), both of which are under active development. Only commercial ground properties remain in the two Communities.

Real estate loans classified as delinquent 30-89 days consists entirely of single-family permanent residential mortgage loans and home equity loans. Total delinquent real estate loans increased to $12.4 million at December 31, 2002, from $10.8 million at September 30, 2002, largely as a result of adverse economic conditions coupled with traditional seasonal delinquencies.

 

Adverse economic conditions and traditional seasonal delinquencies also contributed to an increase in delinquent subprime automobile loans from $45.8 million at September 30, 2002 to $50.8 million at December 31, 2002.

 

Commercial loans classified as delinquent 30-89 days consisted of 24 loans totaling $13.3 million at December 31, 2002 compared to 12 loans totaling $4.3 million at September 30, 2002. The increase in delinquencies reflects general economic conditions.

 

Other consumer loans delinquent 30-89 days increased to $22.0 million at December 31, 2002 from $16.3 million at September 30, 2002. The increase in delinquencies reflects general economic conditions coupled with traditional seasonal delinquencies.

 

Potential Problem Assets.    Although not considered non-performing assets, primarily because the loans are not 90 or more days past due and the borrowers have not abandoned control of the properties, potential problem assets are experiencing problems sufficient to cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms. At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, potential problem assets totaled $23.6 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

 

Troubled Debt Restructurings.    At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, the Bank had no troubled debt restructurings.

 

Real Estate Held for Investment.    At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, real estate held for investment consisted of one property with book value of $0.9 million, net of valuation allowances of $0.2 million.

At December 31, 2002, the Bank’s total allowances for losses on loans and leases and real estate held for investment or sale was $145.2 million, an increase of $2.6 million from $142.6 million at September 30, 2002. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowances for losses on loans and leases and real estate using a variety of measures and tools including historical loss performance, delinquency status, internal risk ratings, current economic conditions and current underwriting policies and procedures. Using this analysis, management determines a range of acceptable valuation allowances. Management believes that the overall level of the allowance is appropriate.

 

The allowance for losses on loans secured by real estate and real estate held for investment or sale totaled $76.9 million at December 31, 2002, which constituted 68.4% of total non-performing real estate assets, before valuation allowances. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $0.2 million on these assets. The allowance for losses on real estate held for sale at December 31, 2002 is in addition to approximately $12.5 million of cumulative charge-offs previously taken against assets remaining in the Bank’s portfolio at December 31, 2002.

 

At both December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, the combined allowance for losses on consumer loans and leases, including automobile, subprime automobile, home improvement and related loans, overdraft lines of credit and other consumer loans was $46.8 million and $44.0 million, respectively. Net charge-offs of consumer and other loans totaled $10.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to $14.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The decline in net charge-offs is attributable to declining subprime automobile loan balances as a result of the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of these loans.

 

Asset and Liability Management.    The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2002, which reflects loan amortization and management’s estimate of loan prepayments. Variable rate loans are assumed to mature in the period in which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust. Prepayment rates for the Bank’s loans are based on recent actual and market experience. Statement savings accounts with balances under $20,000 are classified based upon management’s assumed annual attrition rate of 17.5%, and those with balances of $20,000 or more, as well as all NOW accounts, are assumed to be subject to repricing within six months or less.

The interest sensitivity “gap” shown in the table represents the sum of all interest-earning assets minus all interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing within the same period. The one-year gap, as a percentage of total assets, was 4.4% at December 31, 2002 compared to 2.7% at September 30, 2002. The improvement in the Bank’s one-year gap during this period results from various initiatives undertaken by management in light of the current low interest rate environment, including increased origination of short-term adjustable rate mortgage loans. The Bank continues to consider a variety of strategies to manage its interest rate risk position.

 

Capital.    At December 31, 2002, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements under FIRREA, and its capital ratios exceeded the ratios established for “well-capitalized” institutions under OTS prompt corrective action regulations.

 

The following table shows the Bank’s regulatory capital levels at December 31, 2002, in relation to the regulatory requirements in effect at that date. The information below is based upon the Bank’s understanding of the regulations and interpretations currently in effect and may be subject to change.

OTS capital regulations provide a five-year holding period (or such longer period as may be approved by the OTS) for REO to qualify for an exception from treatment as an equity investment. If an REO property is considered an equity investment, its then-current book value is deducted from total risk-based capital. The following table sets forth the Bank’s REO at December 31, 2002, after valuation allowances of $71.2 million, by the fiscal year in which the property was acquired through foreclosure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

REAL ESTATE

 

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

 

The Real Estate Trust believes that the financial condition and operating results of the Bank in recent periods should enhance prospects for the Real Estate Trust to receive tax sharing payments and dividends from the Bank. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Bank made tax sharing payments totaling $2.2 million and a dividend payment of $4.0 million to the Real Estate Trust. Tax sharing and dividend payments received by the Real Estate Trust are presented as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

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

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Trust has purchased through dividend reinvestment 83,000 shares of common stock of Saul Centers and as of December 31, 2002 owned approximately 3,493,000 shares representing 23.1% of such company’s outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2002, the market value of these shares was approximately $83.1 million. Substantially all these shares have been pledged as collateral with the Real Estate Trust’s credit line banks.

 

As the owner, directly and through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, of a limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership (“Saul Holdings Partnership”) the Real Estate Trust shares in cash distributions from operations and from capital transactions involving the sale of

properties. The partnership agreement of Saul Holdings Partnership provides for quarterly cash distributions to the partners out of net cash flow. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Real Estate Trust received total cash distributions of $1.6 million from Saul Holdings Partnership. Substantially all of the Real Estate Trust’s ownership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership has been pledged as collateral with the Real Estate Trust’s lines of credit banks.

 

In March 1998, the Real Estate Trust issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2008, (the “1998 Notes”). After providing for the retirement of $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11 5/8% Senior Secured Notes issued in 1994 (the “1994 Notes”), including a prepayment premium of $10.0 million and debt issuance costs of approximately $5.9 million, the Real Estate Trust realized approximately $9.1 million in new funds. In addition, the Real Estate Trust received about $13.2 million in cash which had been held as additional collateral by the indenture agent under the 1994 Notes. The 1998 Notes are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in 8,000 shares, or 80%, of the issued and outstanding common stock of the bank, which constitute all of the bank common stock held by the Real Estate Trust. The 1998 Notes are nonrecourse obligations of the Real Estate Trust.

 

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

 

In fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust established a $15.0 million revolving credit line with an unrelated bank. As of December 31, 2002, the maximum commitment under this line is $50.0 million. The current maturity date for this line is September 29, 2004. This facility is secured by a portion of the Real Estate Trust’s ownership in Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers. Interest is computed by reference to a floating rate index. At December 31, 2002 the Real Estate Trust had $3 million in outstanding borrowings under the facility.

 

In fiscal 1996, the Real Estate Trust established an $8.0 million revolving credit line with an unrelated bank, secured by a portion of the Real Estate Trust’s ownership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership. As of December 31, 2002, the maximum commitment under this line is $35.0 million. The current maturity date for this line is November 15, 2004. Interest is computed by reference to a floating rate index. At December 31, 2002, the Real Estate Trust had no outstanding borrowings under the facility.

DEVELOPMENT AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

 

On June 29, 2000, the Real Estate Trust purchased a 6.17 acre site in the Loudoun Tech Center, a 246-acre business park located in Loudoun County, Virginia, for $1.1 million. The site was purchased for the purpose of developing an 81,000 square foot office/flex building to be known as Loudoun Tech Phase I. The cost of development is expected to be $8.4 million upon completion of tenant build-out and will be financed by a $7.4 million construction loan, which has a five-year term, a floating interest rate and one two-year renewal option. Construction of the base building was completed in December 2000, and the building was placed in service during December 2001. No leases have been signed as yet for space in the building. As of December 31, 2002, the Trust’s building basis approximates $5.4 million while the outstanding construction loan balance is $4.0 million.

 

The Real Estate Trust believes that the capital improvement costs for its income-producing properties will be in the range of $12.0 to $15.0 million per year for the next several years.

BANKING

 

Liquidity.    The Bank’s average liquidity ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 2002, was 6.6% compared to 9.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

 

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank sold $1.0 billion of single-family residential loans during the current quarter compared to $489.5 million in the prior corresponding quarter. In addition, the Bank securitized and sold automobile loan receivables of $236.1 million during the prior corresponding quarter. As part of its operating strategy, the Bank continues to explore opportunities to sell assets and to securitize and sell various loan receivables to meet liquidity and other balance sheet objectives.

 

In connection with its loan origination, securitization and sale activities, the Bank generally retains various interests in the sold loans, including servicing assets and interest-only strips receivable. The Bank typically retains a limited amount of recourse with its securitization through one or more means, most often through the establishment of reserve accounts, overcollateralization of receivables or retention of subordinated asset-backed certificates. The Bank records these interests as assets on its financial statements. In some cases, the Bank determines the carrying value of the asset based on expected future cash flows to be received by the Bank from the underlying assets. Some of these cash flows are payable to the Bank before the claims of others, while other cash flows are subordinated to the claims of others. The tables below summarize the carrying value of these assets at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002.

The Bank also is obligated under various recourse provisions related to the swap of single-family residential loans for mortgage-backed securities issued by the Bank. At December 31, 2002, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements was $5.8 million, consisting of restricted cash accounts amounting to $3.5 million and overcollateralization of receivables amounting to $2.3 million. At September 30, 2002, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements was $5.9 million, consisting of restricted cash accounts amounting to $3.5 million and overcollateralization of receivables amounting to $2.4 million.

 

The Bank also is obligated under a recourse provision related to the servicing of certain residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002 recourse to the Bank under this arrangement totaled $3.4 million.

 

There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2002.

 

The Bank’s liquidity requirements in fiscal 2003, and for years subsequent to fiscal 2003, will continue to be affected both by the asset size of the Bank, the growth of which will be constrained by regulatory capital requirements, and the composition of the asset portfolio. Management believes that the Bank’s primary sources of funds will be sufficient to meet the Bank’s foreseeable long-term liquidity needs. The mix of funding sources utilized from time to time will be determined by a number of factors, including capital planning objectives, lending and investment strategies and market conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

 

REAL ESTATE

 

The Real Estate Trust recorded a loss before depreciation and amortization of $825,000 and an operating loss of $5.9 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2002 (the “2003 quarter”) compared to a loss before depreciation and amortization of $644,000 and an operating loss of $5.5 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2001, (the “2002 quarter”). The changes reflect declining results in operations of hotels, office and industrial properties, and higher depreciation and amortization expense.

 

Income after direct operating expenses from hotels decreased $217,000 (3.5%) in the 2003 quarter from the level achieved in the 2002 quarter. The increase in total revenue of $368,000 (1.9%) was offset by the increase of $585,000 (4.3%) in direct operating expenses.

 

Income after direct operating expenses from office and industrial properties decreased $52,000 (0.7%) in the 2003 quarter from the 2002 quarter. The two new properties produced an increase of $385,000, while the results from the eleven office properties owned throughout both quarters produced a decrease of $437,000. Gross income decreased $80,000 (0.8%), while expenses increased $132,000 (5.0%). For the eleven office properties owned throughout both periods, total revenue decreased by $383,000 (4.0%) and the increase in direct operating expenses was $53,000 (2.0%). The downturn was due to leased space turning over at lower rental rates in the current period.

 

Other income decreased $71,000 (19.6%) in the 2003 quarter from the 2002 quarter principally due to lower interest income in the current quarter.

 

Land parcels and other expense decreased $25,000 (7.8%) in the 2003 quarter from the 2002 quarter due to lower purchase/leaseback and other expense in the current quarter.

 

Interest expense decreased $123,000 (1.0%) in the 2003 quarter because of lower average interest rates on outstanding borrowings. Average balances of the Real Estate Trust’s outstanding borrowings increased to $583.0 million for the 2003 quarter from $579.8 million for the 2002 quarter. Average interest rates in the 2003 and 2002 quarters were 8.69% and 9.00%, respectively.

 

Capitalized interest decreased $170,000 (100.0%) in the 2003 quarter since there was no development activity in the current period.

 

Amortization of debt expense increased $35,000 (16.1%) in the 2003 quarter, primarily due to costs incurred in connection with obtaining and refinancing mortgage loans in recent periods.

 

Depreciation increased $274,000 (6.0%) in the 2003 quarter, largely as a result of new income-producing assets placed in service in recent periods.

 

31


Table of Contents

 

Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties decreased $9,000 (0.3%) in the 2003 quarter from their level in the 2002 quarter. The monthly advisory fees were $458,000 in the 2003 quarter, compared to $475,000 in the 2002 quarter, a decrease aggregating $51,000 (3.6%). Management and leasing fees increased $42,000 (2.7%) in the current quarter, reflecting increased gross revenues from hotel sales and office rents on which fees are based.

 

General and administrative expense decreased $149,000 (19.4%) in the 2003 quarter, primarily due to decreases in legal of $82,000 (23.9%), accounting of $11,000 (5.9%) and $71,000 (36.2%) in other administrative expenses.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities reflected earnings of $2,377,000 in the 2003 quarter as compared to earnings of $2,354,000 in the 2002 quarter, an increase of $23,000 (1.0%).

 

BANKING

 

Overview.     The Bank recorded operating income of $27.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 (the “2002 quarter”), compared to operating income of $20.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 (the “2001 quarter”). An increase in other (non-interest) income and a decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses were partially offset by lower net interest income and higher operating expenses.

 

Net Interest Income.     Net interest income, before the provision for loan and lease losses, decreased $7.0 million (or 7.5%) in the 2002 quarter. There was no interest income recorded during the 2002 quarter on non-accrual assets and restructured loans. The Bank would have recorded interest income of $0.8 million for the 2002 quarter if non-accrual assets and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. The Bank’s net interest income in future periods will continue to be adversely affected by the Bank’s non-performing assets. See “Financial Condition—Asset Quality—Non-Performing Assets.”

 

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

Interest income in the 2002 quarter decreased $31.3 million (or 18.0%) from the 2001 quarter as a result of lower average yields on loans and leases receivable, which was partially offset by increases in the average balances of loans and leases receivable of $82.6 million. Also contributing to the decreased income were lower average yields and lower average balances of mortgage-backed securities.

 

The Bank’s net interest spread decreased to 3.13% in the 2002 quarter from 3.43% in the 2001 quarter. The 30 basis point decrease primarily reflected a decrease in the average yield of interest-earning assets at a greater rate than the rate of decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets as a percentage of average interest bearing liabilities increased to 109.19% for the 2002 quarter compared to 106.55% for the 2001 quarter.

 

Interest income on loans and leases, the largest category of interest-earning assets, decreased $21.7 million from the 2001 quarter primarily because of lower average yields. The decreased average yields on the loan and lease portfolio were primarily due to declines in the various indices on which interest rates on adjustable rate loans are based. The average yield on the loan and lease portfolio decreased 141 basis points (from 6.99% to 5.58%) from the 2001 quarter. Lower average yields on single-family residential loans during the 2002 quarter resulted in an $11.5 million (or 15.3%) decrease in interest income. An increase in the average balance of single-family loan receivables of $359.7 million partially offset this decrease. In addition, lower average yields and lower average balances of automobile loans and leases resulted in a $10.4 million (or 21.4%) decrease in interest income.

 

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $8.9 million (or 41.1%) due to lower average balances of $510.8 million and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average interest rates on those securities from 6.12% to 5.63%.

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $21.9 million (or 47.3%) during the 2002 quarter, due to decreased average rates. The 129 basis point decrease in the average rate on deposits (from 2.75% to 1.46%) resulted from a reduction in the rates paid by the Bank in response to declines in market interest rates. The Bank has also reduced the use of higher-cost brokered deposits as an alternative funding source in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter.

 

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $2.4 million (or 7.0%) in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter. The average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $93.5 million, or 4.8%, and the average rate on such borrowings decreased slightly (from 5.12% to 5.10%), resulting in a reduction of $1.3 million in interest expense. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense on borrowings were decreases in the average rate paid on securities sold under repurchase agreements and on other borrowings which, combined, resulted in a decrease of $1.1 million in interest expense.

 

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses.     The Bank’s provision for loan and lease losses decreased to $13.6 million in the 2002 quarter from $17.9 million in the 2001 quarter. The $4.3 million decrease was largely attributable to decreased charge-offs due to the declining balance of the subprime automobile loan portfolio. See “Financial Condition—Asset Quality—Allowances for Losses.”

Other Income.     Other non-interest income increased to $65.5 million in the 2002 quarter from $52.7 million in the 2001 quarter. The $12.8 million (or 24.2%) increase was primarily attributable to an increase in servicing and securitization income, a gain on real estate held for investment or sale and an increase in deposit servicing fees. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in gain on trading securities.

 

Servicing and securitization income increased to $17.2 million in the 2002 quarter, from $9.3 million in the 2001 quarter, primarily as a result of a gain of $10.0 million resulting from the securitization and sale of $300.0 million of loan receivables during the 2002 quarter compared to a gain of $0.3 million resulting from the securitization and sale of $236.1 million of loan receivables in the 2001 quarter.

 

Gain on real estate held for investment or sale was $5.8 million in the 2002 quarter, an increase of $6.7 million over the loss of the prior corresponding quarter. The increase was primarily the result of a $5.5 million gain on the sale of one of the Bank’s REO properties.

 

Deposit servicing fees increased $2.5 million (or 9.0%) during the 2002 quarter primarily due to fees generated from the continued expansion of the Bank’s branch and ATM networks.

 

The net gain on trading securities and sales of loans decreased $3.3 million during the current quarter. The current interest rate environment and the timing of certain hedging transactions led to increased hedging losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2002.

 

Operating Expenses.     Operating expenses for the 2002 quarter increased $3.4 million (or 3.1%) from the 2001 quarter. Servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses increased $4.4 million, primarily due to an increase in the amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights which, in turn, was related to increased prepayments of loans serviced by the Bank for third parties. Property and equipment expenses decreased by $3.4 million primarily because of a decrease in rent expense following the Bank’s relocation to its new headquarters building. Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets decreased $0.5 million as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, which requires goodwill to be measured for impairment rather than amortized.
