PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Chevy Chase Preferred Capital Corporation (the "Company") is a Maryland
corporation which acquires, holds and manages real estate mortgage assets
("Mortgage Assets"). The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate
investment trust (a "REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the
extent that it distributes its earnings to its stockholders and maintains its
qualification as a REIT. All of the shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), are owned by Chevy Chase Bank,
F.S.B., a federally chartered and federally insured stock savings bank (the
"Bank"). The Bank is in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements. The
Bank services the Company's Residential Mortgage Loans (as defined below) and
administers the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Company also has
outstanding 3,000,000 shares of 10d% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock,
Series A, par value $5.00 per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares"). The
Series A Preferred Shares are publicly held.
MORTGAGE ASSETS
Loan Portfolio Composition
The Company's current portfolio of Mortgage Assets consists of whole loans
("Mortgage Loans") secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust on single-family
residential real estate properties ("Residential Mortgage Loans"). The following
table sets forth information concerning the Company's Residential Mortgage
Loans, all of which were acquired from the Bank, as of December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998. A description of the types of Residential Mortgage Loans
included in the Company's portfolio follows the table.

Purchases from the Bank of Residential Mortgage Loans during the year ended
December 31, 1999 were $73,323,320, which were offset by principal repayments on
the Company's loans of $70,029,056. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition -
Residential Mortgage Loans."
A majority of the Residential Mortgage Loans included in the Company's portfolio
at December 31, 1999 bore interest at adjustable rates. The interest rate on an
"adjustable rate mortgage" or an "ARM" adjusts periodically based on an index
(such as the interest rate on United States Treasury Bills). ARMs are typically
subject to lifetime interest rate caps and periodic interest rate adjustment
caps. As of December 31, 1999, the interest rates on the Residential Mortgage
Loans included in the Company's portfolio ranged from 4.38% per annum to 9.63%
per annum and the weighted average interest rate was approximately 7.31% per
annum.
The interest rate on each type of ARM product included in the Company's
portfolio adjusts at the times (each, a "Rate Adjustment Date") and in the
manner described below, subject to lifetime interest rate caps, to minimum
interest rates and, in the case of most ARMs in the portfolio, to maximum
periodic adjustment increases or decreases, each as specified in the mortgage
note relating to the ARM. Information set forth below regarding interest rate
caps and minimum interest rates applies to the current portfolio only.
Residential Mortgage Loans purchased by the Company after December 31, 1999 may
be subject to different interest rates.
Each ARM bears interest at its initial interest rate until the first Rate
Adjustment Date. Effective with each Rate Adjustment Date, the monthly principal
and interest payment on an adjustable rate Residential Mortgage Loan will be
adjusted to an amount that will fully amortize the then-outstanding principal
balance of such loan over its remaining term to stated maturity and that will be
sufficient to pay interest at the adjusted interest rate. Certain of the types
of loan products that are ARMs contain an option, which may be exercised by the
mortgagor, to convert the ARM into a fixed-rate loan for the remainder of the
mortgage term. If a loan that is an ARM is converted into a fixed-rate loan, the
interest rate on the fixed-rate loan will be determined at the time of
conversion as specified in the mortgage note relating to such loan and will
remain fixed at such rate for the remaining term of such loan. The Company's
current policy is to retain these fixed-rate loans in its portfolio. At December
31, 1999, all of the Company's $5.4 million of fixed-rated loans were the result
of converted ARMs. All the Residential Mortgage Loans included in the portfolio
allow the mortgagor to repay at any time some or all of the outstanding
principal balance of the loan without a fee or penalty.
One-Year ARM. The interest rate with respect to a one-year ARM ("One-Year ARM")
is fixed at an initial rate for the first twelve monthly payments. The loan
adjusts annually thereafter on the date specified in the related mortgage note
to a rate equal to the then-current applicable treasury index plus the gross
margin set forth in such mortgage note, subject to a maximum annual interest
rate increase or decrease of 2.00%, a lifetime interest rate cap as specified in
the related mortgage note and a minimum interest rate no less than the gross
margin.
Three-Year ARM. The interest rate with respect to each three-year ARM
("Three-Year ARM") is fixed at an initial rate for the first 36 monthly
payments. The loan adjusts every three years thereafter in the same manner as
described for the One-Year ARM, except that the treasury index is the weekly
average yield on the United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant
maturity of three years.
Five-Year Fixed-Rate Loan with Automatic Conversion to One-Year ARM. The
interest rate with respect to each five-year fixed-rate loan with automatic
conversion to a One-Year ARM (a "5/1 ARM") is fixed at an initial rate for the
first 60 monthly payments and adjusts annually thereafter, as if the Residential
Mortgage Loan were a One-Year ARM, with a lifetime interest cap as specified in
the related mortgage note. There is no ability to continue at a fixed rate after
the first Rate Adjustment Date under the terms of this type of Residential
Mortgage Loan.
Seven-Year Fixed-Rate Loan with Automatic Conversion to One-Year ARM. The
interest rate with respect to each seven-year fixed-rate loan with automatic
conversion to a One-Year ARM (a "7/1 ARM") is fixed at an initial rate for the
first 84 monthly payments and adjusts annually thereafter, as if the Residential
Mortgage Loan were a One-Year ARM, with a lifetime interest cap as specified in
the related mortgage note. There is no ability to continue at a fixed rate after
the first Rate Adjustment Date under the terms of this type of Residential
Mortgage Loan.
Ten-Year Fixed-Rate Loan With Automatic Conversion to One-Year ARM. The interest
rate with respect to each ten-year fixed-rate loan with automatic conversion to
a One-Year ARM (a "10/1 ARM") is fixed at an initial rate for the first 120
monthly payments and adjusts annually thereafter, as if the Residential Mortgage
Loan were a One-Year ARM, with a lifetime interest cap as specified in the
related mortgage note. There is no ability to continue at a fixed rate after the
first Rate Adjustment Date under the terms of this type of Residential Mortgage
Loan.
Investment Policy
General. The Company currently intends to maintain at least 95% of its portfolio
in Mortgage Assets consisting of either Residential Mortgage Loans or investment
grade mortgage securities representing interests in pools of Mortgage Loans
("Mortgage-Backed Securities") and may invest up to 5% of its portfolio in
Mortgage Loans secured by commercial real estate properties or multi-family
properties ("Commercial Mortgage Loans") or in other assets eligible to be held
by a REIT. The Company's current policy prohibits the acquisition of any
Mortgage Loan or any interest in a Mortgage Loan (other than an interest
resulting from the acquisition of Mortgage-Backed Securities) if the Mortgage
Loan (i) is delinquent in the payment of principal and interest; (ii) is or was
at any time during the preceding 12 months (a) classified, (b) in nonaccrual
status or (c) renegotiated due to the financial deterioration of the borrower;
or (iii) has been, more than once during the preceding 12 months, more than 30
days past due in the payment of principal or interest. Loans that are in
"non-accrual status" are generally loans that are past due 90 days or more in
principal or interest, and "classified" loans are generally troubled loans which
are deemed substandard or doubtful with respect to collectibility.
The Company may from time to time acquire both conforming and nonconforming
Residential Mortgage Loans. Conventional conforming Residential Mortgage Loans
comply with the requirements for inclusion in a loan guarantee program sponsored
by either the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). The nonconforming Residential Mortgage
Loans that the Company purchases will be nonconforming generally because they
have original principal balances which exceed the limits for FHLMC or FNMA
programs.
Mortgage-Backed Securities. While no Mortgage-Backed Securities are included in
the current Mortgage Asset portfolio, the Company may from time to time in the
future acquire fixed-rate or variable-rate Mortgage-Backed Securities. A portion
of any Mortgage-Backed Securities that the Company may purchase may have been
originated by the Bank by exchanging pools of Mortgage Loans for the
Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Mortgage Loans underlying the Mortgage-Backed
Securities will be secured by single-family residential properties located
throughout the United States.
The Company intends to acquire only investment grade Mortgage-Backed Securities
issued by agencies of the Federal government or government sponsored agencies,
such as FHLMC, FNMA and the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA").
The Company does not intend to acquire any interest-only or principal-only
Mortgage-Backed Securities.
Commercial Mortgage Loans. While no Commercial Mortgage Loans are included in
the current portfolio, the Company may from time to time in the future acquire
Commercial Mortgage Loans secured by industrial and warehouse properties,
recreational facilities, office buildings, retail space and shopping malls,
hotels and motels, hospitals, nursing homes or senior living centers. Unlike
Residential Mortgage Loans, Commercial Mortgage Loans generally lack
standardized terms. In addition, Commercial Mortgage Loans tend to be fixed-rate
loans having shorter maturities than Residential Mortgage Loans. Commercial
Mortgage Loans may also not be fully amortizing, meaning that they may have a
significant principal balance or "balloon" payment due on maturity. Moreover,
commercial properties, particularly industrial and warehouse properties, are
generally subject to relatively greater environmental risks than non-commercial
properties, generally giving rise to increased costs of compliance with
environmental laws and regulations.
Other Real Estate Assets. The Company may invest up to 5% of the total value of
its portfolio in assets (other than Residential Mortgage Loans and
Mortgage-Backed Securities) eligible to be held by REITs. Such assets could
include Commercial Mortgage Loans, Mortgage Loans secured by multi-family
properties, cash and cash equivalents.
Credit Risk Management Policies
The Company intends that each Mortgage Loan that it acquires in the future will
represent a first lien position and will be originated in the ordinary course of
the originator's real estate lending activities based on the underwriting
standards generally applied (at the time of origination) for the originator's
own account. The Company also intends that all Mortgage Loans held by the
Company will be serviced pursuant to the servicing agreement between the Company
and the Bank dated December 1, 1996 (the "Servicing Agreement"). See
"Servicing."
Delinquencies
When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a Mortgage Loan, the loan is
considered delinquent and, after expiration of the applicable cure period, the
borrower is charged a late fee, which is retained by the Servicer (as defined
below). The Bank and the Company follow practices customary in the banking
industry in attempting to cure delinquencies and in pursuing remedies upon
default.
Geographic Distribution
A majority of the Residential Mortgage Loans included in the current loan
portfolio are located in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Consequently,
these loans may be subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable
loans in the event of adverse economic, political, or business developments in
Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia that may affect the ability of residential
property owners in any of these areas to make payments of the principal and
interest on the underlying mortgages. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Significant Concentration of
Credit Risk."
SERVICING
The Residential Mortgage Loans owned by the Company are serviced by the Bank
(the "Servicer") pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The Servicer
receives a fee equal to 0.375% per annum on the principal balances of the
Mortgage Loans serviced. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
The Servicing Agreement requires the Servicer to service the Company's Mortgage
Loans in a manner generally consistent with accepted secondary market practices,
with any servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company and, in the case of
Residential Mortgage Loans, with FNMA and FHLMC guidelines and procedures. The
Servicing Agreement requires the Servicer to service these loans solely with a
view toward the interests of the Company and without regard to the interests of
the Bank or any of the Bank's affiliates. The Servicer collects and remits
principal and interest payments, administers mortgage escrow accounts, submits
and pursues insurance claims and initiates and supervises foreclosure
proceedings on the loans it services. The Servicer also provides accounting and
reporting services required by the Company for such loans. The Servicing
Agreement requires the Servicer to follow such collection procedures as are
customary in the industry, including contacting delinquent borrowers and
supervising foreclosures and property disposition in the event of unremedied
defaults in accordance with servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company. The
Servicer may, in its discretion, arrange with a defaulting borrower a schedule
for the liquidation of delinquencies, provided that, in the case of Residential
Mortgage Loans, no primary mortgage guaranty insurance coverage is adversely
affected.
The Servicer is entitled to retain any ancillary fees, including, but not
limited to, late payment charges, prepayment fees, penalties and assumption fees
collected in connection with the Mortgage Loans serviced by it. In addition, the
Servicer is entitled to receive any benefit derived from interest earned on
collected principal and interest payments between the date of collection and the
date of remittance to the Company and from interest earned on tax and insurance
impound funds with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer.
The Servicer is required to pay all expenses related to the performance of its
duties under the Servicing Agreement. The Servicer is required to make advances
of taxes and required insurance premiums that are not collected from borrowers
with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced by it, unless it determines that such
advances are nonrecoverable from the mortgagor, insurance proceeds or other
sources with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
The Company can terminate the Servicing Agreement without cause with at least
sixty days notice to the Servicer and payment of a termination fee.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company expects to pay an aggregate amount of dividends each year with
respect to its outstanding shares of stock equal to approximately 100% of the
Company's "REIT taxable income" for such year (excluding capital gains). The
Company anticipates that none of the dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares
and no material portion of the dividends on the Common Stock will constitute
non-taxable returns of capital. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations."
Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Company after considering the Company's distributable funds, financial
requirements, tax considerations and other factors. The Company's distributable
funds consist primarily of interest payments received in respect of the Mortgage
Assets held by it, and the Company anticipates that most of such assets will
bear interest at adjustable rates. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Interest
Rate Risk."
Under Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") regulations, the Bank is required
to apply to the OTS for approval to make any capital distribution regardless of
size if the Bank does not qualify for expedited treatment under the amended OTS
regulations. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are not treated as
capital distributions for the purposes of these regulations, provided the Bank
remains "well capitalized" after the payment. At December 31, 1999, the Bank was
in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements under Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act, and its capital ratios
exceeded the ratios established for "well capitalized" institutions under prompt
corrective action regulations.
THE BANK
The Bank is a federally chartered and federally insured stock savings bank which
at December 31, 1999 was conducting business from 166 full-service offices,
including 34 grocery store banking centers, and 856 automated teller machines in
Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and the District of Columbia. The Bank's home
office is located in McLean, Virginia and its executive offices are located in
Chevy Chase, Maryland, both suburban communities of Washington, DC. The Bank
also maintains one commercial loan production office located in Baltimore,
Maryland, 11 mortgage loan production offices in the mid-Atlantic region, 10 of
which are operated by a wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary and 32 consumer
loan production offices, 25 of which are operated by a wholly-owned finance
subsidiary. At December 31, 1999, the Bank had total assets of $9.8 billion,
total deposits of $6.2 billion and total stockholders' equity of $480.7 million.
Based on total consolidated assets at December 31, 1999, the Bank is the largest
bank headquartered in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
Because the Company is a subsidiary of the Bank, federal regulatory authorities
have the right to examine the Company and its activities. Payment of dividends
on the Series A Preferred Shares could be subject to regulatory limitations if
after the payment the Bank was not "well capitalized" for purposes of the OTS
prompt corrective action regulations. "Well capitalized" is currently defined as
having a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, a tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of at least 6.0% and a core capital (or leverage) ratio of at
least 5.0%. At December 31, 1999, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio was
12.48%, its tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 8.09% and its core capital (or
leverage) ratio was 5.70%.
If the Exchange Event (as defined below under "Market for Registrant's Common
Equity and Related Stockholder Matters") occurs, the Bank would likely be
prohibited from paying dividends on the Bank Preferred Shares (as defined below
under "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters").
In all circumstances following the Exchange Event, the Bank's ability to pay
dividends would be subject to various restrictions under OTS regulations and
certain contractual provisions.
THE ADVISOR
On December 3, 1996, the Company entered into an advisory agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement") with the Bank (the "Advisor") to administer the day-to-day
operations of the Company. The Advisor principally is responsible for (i)
monitoring the credit quality of the Mortgage Assets held by the Company, (ii)
advising the Company with respect to the acquisition, management and financing
of the Company's Mortgage Assets, and (iii) maintaining the custody of the
documents related to the Company's Mortgage Loans. The Advisor 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.
The Advisor and its affiliates have substantial experience in the mortgage
lending industry, both in the origination and in the servicing of mortgage
loans. At December 31, 1999, the Advisor and its affiliates owned approximately
$4.3 billion of residential mortgage loans, including $295.2 million of the
Company's Residential Mortgage Loans. In their residential mortgage loan
business, the Advisor and its affiliates originate and purchase residential
mortgage loans. A portion of such loans are sold to investors, primarily in the
secondary market, generally on a servicing retained basis. The Advisor and its
affiliates also purchase servicing rights on residential mortgage loans. In
addition to loans serviced for its own portfolio, the Advisor and its affiliates
serviced residential mortgage loans having an aggregate principal balance of
approximately $3.5 billion as of December 31, 1999.
The Advisory Agreement had an initial term of three years and is renewed
automatically for additional one-year periods unless notice of nonrenewal is
delivered to the Advisor by the Company. The Advisory Agreement may be
terminated by the Company at any time upon sixty days' prior written notice. As
long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, any decision by the
Company either to not renew the Advisory Agreement or to terminate the Advisory
Agreement must be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, as well as
by a majority of the Independent Directors (as defined below under "Market for
Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters"). The Advisor is
entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to $200,000 payable in equal
quarterly installments with respect to the advisory and management services
provided to the Company. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
CAPITAL AND LEVERAGE POLICIES
To the extent that the Board of Directors determines that additional funding is
required, the Company may raise such funds through additional equity offerings,
debt financing or retention of cash flow (after consideration of provisions of
the Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of a certain percentage of taxable
income and taking into account taxes that would be imposed on undistributed
taxable income, including capital gains), or a combination of these methods.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had no debt outstanding, and the Company does
not currently intend to incur any indebtedness. However, the organizational
documents of the Company do not contain any limitation on the amount or
percentage of debt, funded or otherwise, that the Company might incur. The
Company may not, without the approval of a majority of the Independent
Directors, incur debt for borrowed money in excess of 25% of the Company's total
stockholders' equity, including intercompany advances made by the Bank to the
Company.
The Company may also issue additional series of Preferred Stock (as defined
below under "Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters"). However, the Company does not currently intend to issue any
additional series of Preferred Stock unless it simultaneously receives
additional capital contributions from the Bank equal to the sum of the aggregate
offering price of such additional Preferred Stock and the Company's expenses in
connection with the issuance of such additional shares of Preferred Stock. Prior
to its issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock, the Company will take
into consideration the Bank's regulatory capital requirements and the cost of
raising and maintaining that capital at the time.
EMPLOYEES
The Company has nine officers. The executive officers of the Company are
described further below under "Directors and Executive Officers of the
Registrant - Directors and Officers." The Company does not anticipate that it
will require any additional employees because it has retained the Advisor to
administer the day-to-day activities of the Company pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement. Each officer of the Company currently is also an officer and/or
director of the Bank and/or affiliates of the Bank. The Company maintains
corporate records and audited financial statements that are separate from those
of the Bank or any of the Bank's affiliates.
COMPETITION
The Company does not anticipate that it will engage in the business of
originating Residential Mortgage Loans. It does anticipate that it will purchase
Mortgage Assets in addition to those in the current loan portfolio and that all
these Mortgage Assets will be purchased from the Bank or affiliates of the Bank.
Accordingly, the Company 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
In the event that the Company is forced to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan to recover its investment in such Mortgage Loan, the Company may be subject
to environmental liabilities in connection with the underlying real property
which could exceed the value of the real property. Although the Company intends
to exercise due diligence to discover potential environmental liabilities prior
to the acquisition of any property through foreclosure, hazardous substances or
waste, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof (as defined by state and
federal laws and regulations) may be discovered on properties during the
Company's ownership or after a sale thereof to a third party. If such hazardous
substances are discovered on a property which the Company has acquired through
foreclosure or otherwise, the Company may be required to remove those substances
and clean up the property. There can be no assurance that in such a case the
Company would not incur full recourse liability for the entire costs of any
removal and clean-up, that the cost of such removal and clean-up would not
exceed the value of the property or that the Company could recoup any such costs
from any third party. The Company may also be liable to tenants and other users
of neighboring properties. In addition, the Company may find it difficult or
impossible to sell the property prior to or following any such clean-up.
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 percent of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, meets
certain organizational, stock ownership and operational requirements and meets
certain income and asset 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 also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable
years following the year during which qualification was lost.
The Company recognized capital gains on the sale of five Real Estate Owned
("REO") properties of $29,909 during the year ended December 31, 1999. As a
result, in January 2000, the Company made a tax payment of $10,468.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
None.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not the subject of any material litigation. None of the Company,
the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank is currently involved in nor, to the
Company's knowledge, is currently threatened with any material litigation with
respect to the Residential Mortgage Loans included in the portfolio, other than
routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, most of which is
covered by liability insurance.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during the
fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1999. However, on February 24,
2000, the Bank, the sole voting stockholder of the Company, by written consent,

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
General
In connection with the formation of the Company on November 5, 1996, the Company
issued 100 shares of Common Stock to the Bank for $1,000. These shares of Common
Stock were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Thus, there is no established
public trading market for the Common Stock. As of March 15, 2000, there were 100
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by one stockholder, the Bank.
Dividends
The following table reflects the distributions declared by the Company on the
Common Stock for each quarter during the two most recent fiscal years. For a
discussion of the Company's distribution policy with respect to the Common
Stock, see "Business - Dividend Policy."

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. If the
Company fails to declare and pay full dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares
in any dividend period, the Company may not make any dividends or other
distributions with respect to the Common Stock until such time as dividends on
all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares have been (i) declared and paid for
three consecutive dividend periods and (ii) declared and paid or declared and a
sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set apart for payment for the
fourth consecutive dividend period. In order to remain qualified as a REIT, the
Company must distribute annually at least 95% of its annual "REIT taxable
income" (not including capital gains) to stockholders. See "Business - Tax
Status of the Company."
Voting Rights
Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any class or series of
Preferred Stock (as defined below), all voting rights are vested in the Common
Stock. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.
Rights Upon Liquidation
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, after there have been paid or set aside for
the holders of all series of Preferred Stock the full preferential amounts to
which such holders are entitled, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to
share equally and ratably in any assets remaining after the payment of all debts
and liabilities.
DESCRIPTION OF SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES
Market Information and Dividends
The Series A Preferred Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the trading symbol "CCP-PrA." As of March 9, 2000, there were 3,000,000 issued

Holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, if, when and as
declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of assets of the Company
legally available, cash dividends at the rate of 10d% per annum of the
liquidation preference (equivalent to $5.1875 per share per annum).
The right of holders of Series A Preferred Shares to receive dividends is
noncumulative. Accordingly, if the Board of Directors fails to declare a
dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares for a quarterly dividend period, then
holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will have no right to receive a
dividend for that period, and the Company will have no obligation to pay a
dividend for that period, whether or not dividends are declared and paid for any
future period with respect to either the Series A Preferred Shares or the Common
Stock.
General
The Series A Preferred Shares form a series of the preferred stock of the
Company (the "Preferred Stock"), which Preferred Stock may be issued from time
to time in one or more series with such rights, preferences and limitations as
are determined by the Company's Board of Directors.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no preemptive rights with
respect to any shares of the capital stock of the Company or any other
securities of the Company convertible into or carrying rights or options to
purchase any such shares. The Series A Preferred Shares are not subject to any
sinking fund or other obligation of the Company for their repurchase or
retirement. The Series A Preferred Shares will be exchanged automatically on a
one-for-one basis for Bank Preferred Shares (as defined below) upon the
occurrence of the Exchange Event (as defined below).
Automatic Exchange
Each Series A Preferred Share will be exchanged automatically for one newly
issued Series B preferred share of the Bank ( a "Bank Preferred Share") if the
appropriate federal regulatory agency of the Bank directs in writing (the
"Directive") an exchange of the Series A Preferred Shares for Bank Preferred
Shares because (i) the Bank becomes "undercapitalized" under prompt corrective
action regulations established pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, as amended, (ii) the Bank is placed into
conservatorship or receivership or (iii) the appropriate federal regulatory
agency, in its sole discretion and even if the Bank is not "undercapitalized,"
anticipates the Bank becoming "undercapitalized" in the near term (the "Exchange
Event"). Upon the Exchange Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares will
be unconditionally obligated to surrender to the Bank the certificate
representing each Series A Preferred Share of such holder, and the Bank will be
unconditionally obligated to issue to such holder in exchange for each such
Series A Preferred Share a certificate representing one Bank Preferred Share
(the "Automatic Exchange"). Absent the occurrence of the Exchange Event, no
shares of Bank Preferred Shares will be issued.
Holders of Series A Preferred Shares cannot exchange their Series A Preferred
Shares for Bank Preferred Shares voluntarily. In addition, absent the occurrence
of the Automatic Exchange, holders of Series A Preferred Shares will have no
dividend, voting, liquidation preference or other rights with respect to any
security of the Bank; such rights as are conferred by the Series A Preferred
Shares exist solely as to the Company.
Voting Rights
Except as expressly required by applicable law, or except as indicated below,
the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will not be entitled to vote. In
the event the holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to vote as
indicated below, each Series A Preferred Share will be entitled to one vote on
matters on which holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to vote.
If at the time of any annual meeting of the Company's stockholders for the
election of directors the Company has failed to pay or declare and set aside for
payment a quarterly dividend during any of the four preceding quarterly dividend
periods on any series of Preferred Stock of the Company, including the Series A
Preferred Shares, the number of directors then constituting the Board of
Directors of the Company will be increased by two (if not already increased by
two due to a default in preference dividends), and the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares, voting together with the holders of all other series of
Preferred Stock as a single class, will be entitled to elect such two additional
directors to serve on the Company's Board of Directors at each such annual
meeting. Each director elected by the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock
shall continue to serve as such director until the later of (i) the full term
for which he or she shall have been elected or (ii) the payment of four
quarterly dividends on the Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred
Shares.
Redemption
The Series A Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to January 15, 2007
(except upon the occurrence of certain tax events). On or after such date, the
Series A Preferred Shares will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time. Any such redemption must comply with the prompt
corrective action and capital distribution regulations of the OTS, which may
prohibit a redemption and will require the OTS' prior written approval.
The Company will also have the right at any time, upon the occurrence of certain
tax events and with the prior written approval of the OTS, to redeem the Series
A Preferred Shares, in whole (but not in part) at a redemption price of $50.00
per share, plus the quarterly accrued and unpaid dividend to the date of
redemption, if any, thereon.
Rights Upon Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares at the time
outstanding will be entitled to receive out of assets of the Company available
for distribution to stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to
holders of Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Series
A Preferred Shares upon liquidation, liquidating distributions in the amount of
$50.00 per share, plus the quarterly accrued and unpaid dividend thereon, if
any, to the date of liquidation.
Independent Director Approval
As long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, certain actions by the
Company must be approved by a majority of the independent directors who are not
officers or employees of the Company and are not directors, officers, or
employees of the Bank or any of its affiliates (the "Independent Directors").
Any members of the Board of Directors of the Company elected by holders of
Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred Shares, will be deemed to be
Independent Directors for purposes of approving actions requiring the approval
of a majority of the Independent Directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Residential Mortgage Loans
At December 31, 1999, the Company had $295,195,830 invested in Residential
Mortgage Loans compared to $292,682,032 at December 31, 1998. During 1999,
Residential Mortgage Loan purchases were $73,323,320 and principal collections
were $70,029,056. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $1,056,018 on
the sale of five properties classified as real estate acquired in settlement of
loans during the year ended December 31, 1999. Management intends to continue to
reinvest proceeds received from repayments of loans by purchasing additional
Residential Mortgage Loans from either the Bank or its affiliates.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had three non-accrual loans (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 $423,667 (or 0.14% of loans). At December 31,
1998, the Company had three non-accrual loans with an aggregate principal
balance of $477,624 (or 0.16% of loans).
At December 31, 1999, the Company had three delinquent loans (loans delinquent
30-89 days) with an aggregate principal balance of $541,336 (or 0.18% of loans).
At December 31, 1998, the Company had four delinquent loans with an aggregate
principal balance of $845,911 (or 0.29% of loans).
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management reviews the loan portfolio to establish an allowance for estimated
losses if deemed necessary. An analysis to determine whether an allowance for
loan losses is required is performed periodically, and an allowance is provided
after considering such factors as the economy in lending areas, delinquency
statistics and past loss experience. 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 in the periods they are determined to be necessary. The activity in
the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is
as follows:

============ ===========
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's income consists primarily of interest payments 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.
In such an interest rate environment, the Company may experience an increase in
prepayments on its Residential Mortgage Loans and may find it more difficult to
purchase additional loans bearing interest rates sufficient to support payment
of dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares. In addition, certain Residential
Mortgage Loans which the Company holds allow borrowers to convert an ARM to a
fixed-rate mortgage, thus "locking in" a fixed interest rate at a time when
interest rates have declined.
Based on the outstanding balance of the Company's Residential Mortgage Loans at
December 31, 1999 and the interest rates on such loans, anticipated annual
interest income on the Company's loan portfolio was approximately 131.4% of the
projected annual dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares. There can be no
assurance that an interest rate environment in which there is a continued
decline in interest rates would not 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.
The following table contains estimated principal cash flows and fair market
values by type for the Company's Residential Mortgage Loans. Prepayment rates
are assumed for the Company's loans based on recent actual and market
experience. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on
contractual repayment and anticipated prepayment schedules. The discount rates
used in these analyses are based on either the interest rates paid on U.S.
Treasury securities of comparable maturities adjusted for credit risk and
non-interest operating costs, or the interest rates currently offered for loans
with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

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. A majority of the
Company's Residential Mortgage Loans are loans secured by residential real
estate properties located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Consequently,
these loans may be subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable
residential mortgage loans in the event of adverse economic, political or
business developments and natural hazards in the region that may affect the
ability of residential property owners in the region to make payments of
principal and interest on the underlying mortgages.
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 REIT as discussed in "Business - Tax Status of the Company."
The Company's principal liquidity need will be 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 such
Mortgage Assets held by the Company will be funded with the proceeds of
principal repayments on its current portfolio of Mortgage Assets. The Company
does not anticipate that it will have any material capital expenditures. The
Company believes that cash generated from the payment of principal and interest
on its Mortgage Asset portfolio will provide sufficient funds to meet its
operating requirements and to pay dividends in accordance with the requirements
to be treated as a REIT for income tax purposes for the foreseeable future. The
Company may borrow as it deems necessary.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company has no equipment or systems of its own because the operations of the
Company are performed in their entirety under contract with the Bank. For the
same reason, the Company was dependent on the Year 2000 program of the Bank, its
sole service provider.
Many activities relating to the Bank's corporate-wide year 2000 program took
place during the weeks before January 1, 2000 and the weeks immediately
thereafter. To manage these efforts, the Bank employed a coordinated management
strategy to facilitate detection and resolution of potential Year 2000
disruptions, and to ensure efficient communications with the Bank's management,
staff, customers, and third parties.
As a result of diligent monitoring, the Bank's internal systems were available
earlier than predicted. As testing proceeded over the transition period, very
few system problems were reported, and all of these problems were resolved with
little or no impact to the Bank and its customers.
The relatively smooth transition into the Year 2000 indicates that remediation
efforts were largely successful. The Bank has nonetheless planned for the
possibility that Year 2000 failures may yet be discovered. Monitoring and
reporting will continue throughout 2000 in compliance with Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council's guidelines.
The Company has made no expenditures in connection with Year 2000 Compliance
because of its ability to rely on the Bank's Year 2000 Compliance program. For
the same reason, the Company does not expect to incur any Year 2000 expenses in
the future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year 1999 Compared to Fiscal Year 1998
The Company reported net income of $20,082,886 and $21,368,951 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The reduction in net income is
due primarily to a decrease in the average yield on Residential Mortgage Loans
and an increase in operating expenses.
Interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans totaled $21,628,731 and
$22,632,939 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which
represents an average yield on such loans of 7.35% and 7.82%, respectively. The
average loan balance of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio was $294,142,360
and $289,332,464 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company would have recorded an additional $38,434 and $49,641 in interest
income for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, had its
non-accrual loans been current in accordance with their original terms.
Other interest income of $166,626 and $228,017 was recognized on the Company's
interest bearing deposits during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Provision for loan losses of $26,554 and $10,862 were recorded on the Company's
loan portfolio during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company recognized a gain of $29,909 on the sale of five REO properties
during the year ended December 31, 1999. A gain of $32,937 on the sale of six
REO properties was recognized during the year ended December 31, 1998.
Operating expenses totaling $1,715,826 and $1,514,080 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 of $1,116,911 and
$1,116,729 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were
based on a servicing fee rate of 0.375% per annum of the outstanding principal
balances of Residential Mortgage Loans, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.
Advisory fees paid to parent for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
totaled $200,000 for each period. Directors' fees totaled $26,000 and $28,000
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and represent
compensation to the two independent members of the Board of Directors. General
and administrative expenses totaled $372,915 and $169,351 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. General and administrative expenses
consisted primarily of the amortization of organizational costs. The increase in
general and administrative expenses is due primarily to the acceleration of the
amortization of organizational costs in accordance with the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 98-5 "Reporting on the
Costs of Start-Up Activities," which the Company adopted effective January 1,
1999.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors
declared cash dividends of $15,562,500, representing $5.1875 per share on the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Shares, out of the retained earnings of
the Company.
Also during December 31, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared cash
dividends of $46,900 per share of Common Stock, $4,520,386 of which was paid out
of the retained earnings of the Company and $169,614 of which was treated as a
return of capital.
Fiscal Year 1998 Compared to Fiscal Year 1997
The Company reported net income of $21,368,951 and $21,627,649 for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans totaled $22,632,939 and
$23,079,170 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which
represents an average yield on such loans of 7.82% and 7.85%, respectively. The
average loan balance of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio was $289,332,464
and $294,094,062 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company would have recorded an additional $49,641 and $45,402 in interest
income for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, had its

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of Chevy Chase Preferred Capital Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of Chevy
Chase Preferred Capital Corporation (the "Company," a Maryland corporation) as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

CHEVY CHASE PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Chevy Chase Preferred Capital Corporation (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 (as defined below). The Bank is in compliance with
its regulatory capital requirements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Use of Estimates:
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition and income
and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and
interest-bearing deposits.
Residential Mortgage Loans:
Residential mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost. Interest income is
accrued and recognized using the weighted average coupon interest rate of the
portfolio.
Loans are reviewed on a monthly basis and are placed on non-accrual status when,
in the opinion of management, the full collection of principal and interest has
become unlikely. Uncollectible accrued interest receivable on non-accrual loans
is charged against current period income. The Company had non-accrual loans at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 totaling $423,667 and $477,624, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses:
Management periodically reviews the loan portfolio to establish an allowance for
estimated losses if deemed necessary. An allowance is provided after considering
such factors as the economy in lending areas, delinquency statistics and past
loss experience. The allowance for loan losses are based on estimates and
ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to the allowance
become necessary, provisions for losses are reported in operations in the
periods they are determined to be necessary.
CHEVY CHASE PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Concentrations of Credit:
A majority of the Company's loans are secured by properties located in the
Washington, DC metropolitan area. Service industries and Federal, state and
local governments employ a significant portion of the Washington, DC area labor
force. Adverse changes in economic conditions could have a direct impact on the
timing and amounts of payments by borrowers.
Accounts Receivable from Parent:
Accounts receivable from parent represents principal and interest payments
received from borrowers by the Bank as servicer of the mortgage loans which are
being held by the servicer in a custodial account pending remittance to the
Company. The Company receives remittances from the servicer on the 10th day of
each month. See Note 7.
Accounts Payable to Parent:
Accounts payable to parent represents fees owed to the Bank for managing the
operations of the Company, for servicing the Company's loans and for expenses
paid by the Bank on behalf of the Company. See Note 7.
Dividends:
Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are payable at a
rate of 10d% per annum of the liquidation preference (an amount equal to $5.1875
per annum per share), if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company. Dividends are not cumulative and, if declared, are payable quarterly in
arrears on the fifteenth day of January, April, July and October.
Common Stock. The stockholder is entitled to receive dividends if, when and as
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available after all
preferred dividends have been paid.
Earnings Per Common Share:
Dividends on preferred stock are deducted from earnings in the computation of
earnings per common share when declared by the Company's Board of Directors.
Earnings per common share assuming dilution equals the basic earnings per common
share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
Income Taxes:
The Company 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, the
Company is not subject to Federal corporate income taxes to the extent it
distributes at least 100% of its annual REIT taxable income to stockholders and
as long as certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met in accordance
with the IRC. Because management of the Company believes it qualifies as a REIT
for Federal income tax purposes, no provision for income taxes is included in
the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 - RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS:
Residential mortgage loans consist of one-year adjustable-rate mortgages
("ARMs"), three-year ARMs, five-year, seven-year and ten-year fixed-rate loans
with automatic adjustment to one-year ARMs after the respective fixed rate
period and conventional 30 year fixed-rate mortgages. The following table shows
the residential mortgage loan portfolio by type at the dates indicated:

$5.00 par value and received net cash proceeds of $144 million. Cash dividends
on the Series A Preferred Shares, if, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, are payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 10d%. The
liquidation value of each Series A Preferred Share is $50 plus accrued and
unpaid dividends. Except under certain 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.
The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Company at any
time on or after January 15, 2007, in whole or in part, at the following per

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 6 - DIVIDENDS:
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors
declared $15,562,500 of preferred stock dividends out of retained earnings of
the Company and $4,690,000 of common stock dividends, $4,520,386 of which was
paid out of the retained earnings of the Company and $169,614 of which was
treated as a return of capital. Of these amounts, preferred stock dividends of
$3,890,625 and common stock dividends of $3,100,000 were paid subsequent to
December 31, 1999.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company has entered into an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement")
with the Bank (the "Advisor"). The Advisor provides advice to the Board of
Directors and manages the operations of the Company as defined in the Advisory
Agreement. The Advisory Agreement has an initial term of three years commencing
on December 3, 1996 and is automatically renewed for additional one-year periods
unless the Company delivers a notice of nonrenewal to the Advisor. The Advisory
Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time upon sixty days' prior
written notice. The advisory fee is $200,000 per annum payable in equal
quarterly installments.
The Company also entered into a servicing agreement with the Bank for the
servicing of its residential mortgage loans (the "Servicing Agreement").
Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Bank performs the servicing of the
loans owned by the Company, in accordance with normal industry practice. The
Servicing Agreement can be terminated without cause with at least sixty days'
notice to the servicer and payment of a termination fee. The servicing fee rate
is 0.375% of the outstanding principal balance of the loans. Servicing fees for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 totaled $1,116,911, $1,116,729
and $1,137,487, respectively.
The Company had cash balances of $7,072,250 and $4,861,984 as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively, held in various deposit accounts with the Bank.
Interest earned on these accounts was $166,626, $228,017 and $140,238 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
NOTE 8 - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are financial instruments;
however, certain of these financial instruments lack an available trading
market. Significant estimates, assumptions and present value calculations were
therefore used for the purposes of deriving the fair values of the Company's
financial instruments, resulting in a degree of subjectivity inherent in the
indicated fair value amounts. Because the fair value is estimated as of the
balance sheet date, the amount which will actually be realized or paid upon
settlement or maturity could be significantly different. Comparability among
REITs may be difficult due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques
and the numerous estimates and assumptions which must be made.
CHEVY CHASE PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 8 - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued):
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31,
1999 and 1998 are as follows:

Other financial assets 9,441,746 9,441,746
Financial liabilities 7,585,548 7,585,548
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
amounts at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Cash and interest-bearing deposits:
Carrying amount approximates fair value.
Residential mortgage loans:
Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on contractual
repayment and anticipated prepayment schedules. The discount rates used in these
analyses are based on either the interest rates paid on U.S. Treasury securities
of comparable maturities adjusted for credit risk and non-interest operating
costs, or the interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality.

NOTE 8 - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued):
Other financial assets:
