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

Cash dividends on the Company’s 10 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) are payable quarterly in arrears. The liquidation value of each Series A Preferred Share is $50 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Shares are not redeemable until January 15, 2007 (except upon the occurrence of certain tax events) and are redeemable thereafter at the option of the Company. Except under certain limited circumstances, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights. The Series A Preferred Shares are automatically exchangeable for a new series of preferred stock of the Bank upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Bank.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $3,890,625 and $11,671,875, respectively, on the Company’s preferred stock out of the retained earnings of the Company. Dividends were paid on April 15, July 15 and October 15, 2004.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $42,614 on the Company’s common stock out of retained earnings of the Company. The dividend was paid April 15, 2004.
Based on the outstanding balance of the Company’s Residential Mortgage Loans (as defined below) at September 30, 2004 and the interest rates on such loans, anticipated annual income, net of operating expenses, on the Company’s loan portfolio was approximately 102.6% of the projected annual dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares.
If market interest rates remain at or near their recent lows, the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares could be adversely affected. If the Company did not have sufficient funds available to pay those dividends, it would explore various options for generating additional funds to pay the dividends. Those options could include reducing the servicing fee paid to the Bank, reducing the advisory fee paid to the Bank, purchasing other types of loans, borrowing funds as the Company deems necessary or appropriate or using principal repayments on Residential Mortgage Loans. However, there can be no assurances that any of those measures would be implemented or, if implemented, would be sufficient to enable the Company to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares.
At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had $298,749,857 and $296,062,742, respectively, invested in loans secured by first mortgages or deeds of trust on single-family residential real estate properties (“Residential Mortgage Loans”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, Residential Mortgage Loan purchases were $106,060,522 and principal collections were $103,373,407. Management intends to continue to reinvest proceeds received from repayments of loans in additional Residential Mortgage Loans to be purchased from either the Bank or its subsidiaries.
At September 30, 2004, the Company had four non-accrual loans (contractually past due 90 days or more or with respect to which other factors indicate that full payment of principal and interest is unlikely) with an aggregate principal balance of $1,318,997 (or 0.44% of loans). At December 31, 2003, the Company had five non-accrual loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1,589,670 (or 0.54% of loans).
At September 30, 2004, the Company had seven loans which were delinquent 30-89 days with an aggregate principal balance of $901,294 (or 0.30% of loans). At December 31, 2003, the Company had three loans which were delinquent 30-89 days with an aggregate principal balance of $807,205 (or 0.27% of loans).
An analysis is performed periodically to determine the level of allowance for loan losses required and takes into consideration 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. There was no activity in the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. The balance of the allowance for loan losses was $40,333 at September 30, 2004 and 2003.
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. 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 may have declined. In addition, when interest rates decline, holders of fixed-rate mortgages are more likely to prepay such mortgages.
If market interest rates remain at or near their recent lows, the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares could be adversely affected. See “Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Dividend Coverage.” The Company, to date, has not used any derivative instruments to manage its interest rate risk.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk disclosures from the disclosures made in the 2003 10-K.
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 (or 51.4%) of the Company’s Residential Mortgage Loans are secured by residential real estate 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. 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.
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company’s financial commitments. In managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations placed on a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), as discussed below in “Tax Status of the Company.”
The Company’s principal liquidity needs will be to fund the acquisition of additional mortgage assets as current mortgage assets held by the Company are repaid and to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares. The acquisition of such additional mortgage assets will be funded with the proceeds from principal repayments on its current portfolio of mortgage assets. The Company does not anticipate that it will have any other material capital expenditures. The Company expects to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares out of cash generated from operating activities. As discussed earlier under “Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Dividend Coverage,” our anticipated annual income, based on our mortgage loan portfolio at September 30, 2004, is 102.6% of the projected annual dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares. If market interest rates remain at or near their recent lows, the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares could be adversely affected. If the Company did not have sufficient funds available to pay those dividends, it would explore various options for generating additional funds to pay the dividends. Those options could include reducing the servicing fee paid to the Bank, reducing the advisory fee paid to the Bank, purchasing other types of loans, borrowing funds as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, or using principal repayments on Residential Mortgage Loans. However, there can be no assurances that any of those measures would be implemented or, if implemented, would be sufficient to enable the Company to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company believes that it will be able to continue to meet the requirements to be treated as a REIT for income tax purposes for the foreseeable future.
The Company has no off balance sheet transactions, contractual obligations, contingent liabilities, or commitments as of September 30, 2004.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on its net income (excluding capital gains) provided that it distributes annually 100% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, meets certain organizational, stock ownership and operational requirements and meets certain income and asset tests. To remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must (a) distribute each year at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (not including capital gains) for that year to stockholders, (b) meet certain income tests, (c) meet certain asset tests and (d) meet certain ownership tests. If in any taxable year the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, the Company would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing its taxable income and would be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition, the Company would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. As of September 30, 2004, the Company met the requirements of all applicable tests.
No income tax was paid during either of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
During the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company reported net income of $3,996,904 and $4,012,845, respectively.
Total interest income was $4,259,094 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 (the “2004 quarter”) compared to $4,238,342 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 (the “2003 quarter”). Interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans totaled $4,256,960 for the 2004 quarter compared to $4,235,601 for the 2003 quarter. The increase in interest income resulted from higher average balances of loans receivable, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on such loans to 5.72% in the 2004 quarter from 5.84% in the 2003 quarter. The average balance of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio was $297,793,618 in the 2004 quarter compared to $290,118,557 in the 2003 quarter. The Company would have recorded an additional $8,142 and $22,371 in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, had its non-accrual loans been current in accordance with their original terms.
Other interest income of $2,134 and $2,741 was recognized on the Company’s interest bearing deposits during the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was due to lower average balances of interest bearing deposits which was partially offset by higher average yields during the 2004 quarter.
No provision for loan losses was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
Operating expenses totaling $262,190 and $225,497 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were comprised of loan servicing fees paid to parent, advisory fees paid to parent, directors’ fees and general and administrative expenses. Loan servicing fees paid to parent were $167,393 and $141,925, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in loan servicing fees paid to parent for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 is attributable to an increase in Residential Mortgage Loans. Advisory fees paid to parent for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled $50,000 for each quarter. Directors’ fees paid for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $8,000 and $9,750, respectively, and represent compensation to the two independent members of the Board of Directors. General and administrative expenses totaled $36,797 and $23,822 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is largely due to increases in fees paid to the Company’s external auditors and legal expenses.
On September 14, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared, out of the retained earnings of the Company, a cash dividend of $1.296875 per share on the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares which was paid on October 15, 2004.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company reported net income of $12,148,570 and $11,837,886, respectively.
Total interest income was $12,915,741 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (the “2004 period”) compared to $12,695,212 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (the “2003 period”). Interest income on Residential Mortgage Loans totaled $12,908,483, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $12,676,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in interest income resulted from higher average balances of loans receivable, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on such loans to 5.77% in the 2004 period from 5.91% in the 2003 period. The average balance of the Residential Mortgage Loan portfolio was $298,043,203 in the 2004 period compared to $286,101,237 in the 2003 period. The Company would have recorded an additional $21,572 and $39,005 in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, had its non-accrual loans been current in accordance with their original terms.
Other interest income of $7,258 and $18,579 was recognized on the Company’s interest bearing deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was due to lower average balances of interest bearing deposits which was partially offset by higher average yields during the 2004 period.
No provision for loan losses was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
Operating expenses totaling $767,171 and $857,326 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were comprised of loan servicing fees paid to parent, advisory fees paid to parent, directors’ fees and general and administrative expenses. Loan servicing fees paid to parent were $485,469 and $589,276 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. The decrease in the 2004 period was due to the fact that, effective July 1, 2003, the servicing agreement between the Bank and the Company was modified to reduce the servicing fee rate to 0.250% of the outstanding loan balance from 0.375%. Advisory fees paid to parent for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled $150,000 for each period. Directors’ fees paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled $24,751 and $28,000, respectively, and represent compensation to the two independent members of the Board of Directors. General and administrative expenses totaled $106,951 and $90,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is largely due to increases in transfer agent fees and legal expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors declared $11,671,875 of preferred stock dividends and $42,614 of common stock dividends out of the retained earnings of the Company.
Information required by this item is included in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Interest Rate Risk,” which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under SEC regulations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the SEC, which the Company must comply with under SEC regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2004. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2004.
During the three months ended September 30, 2004, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is not involved in any material litigation. Neither the Company, the Bank, nor any affiliate of the Bank is involved in any pending or threatened material litigation with respect to the Residential Mortgage Loans.
