NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL:

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 consolidated entity, which includes B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries (“Chevy Chase” or the “Bank”). “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.” 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, 2004. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

Certain reclassifications of prior periods’ information have been made to conform with the presentation for the three months ended December 31, 2004, including the reclassification of certain income and expense amounts to loss from operations of discontinued real estate asset to assure comparability of all periods presented.

2. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Real Estate Trust, which is involved in the ownership and development of income-producing properties. The accounts of the Bank have also been consolidated. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows for two business operations: Real Estate and Banking. All significant inter-company 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. For purposes of calculating primary and diluted earnings per share, weighted average common shares outstanding totaled 4,807,510 for both the three month period ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The Trust has no common share equivalents. On January 20, 2005, the Trust declared a dividend on its common shares of $0.248 per share, totaling approximately $1.2 million, payable on January 21, 2005, to holders of record on December 30, 2004.

3. TAXES:

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

4. INVESTMENT IN SAUL CENTERS, INC. AND SAUL HOLDINGS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP – REAL ESTATE TRUST:

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, the Real Estate Trust purchased, either through dividend reinvestment or direct purchase, approximately 160,000 shares of common stock of Saul Centers, Inc. (“Saul Centers”), and as of December 31, 2004 owned approximately 4,250,000 shares representing 25.9% of such company’s outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2004, the market value of these shares was approximately $162.6 million. Substantially all these shares have been pledged as collateral with the Real Estate Trust’s credit line banks.

In fiscal 1993, the Real Estate Trust entered into a series of transactions in connection with the initial public offering of Saul Centers. The Real Estate Trust transferred its 22 shopping centers and one of its office properties, together with the $196 million of mortgage debt and deferred interest associated with such properties, to a newly formed partnership, Saul Holdings Limited Partnership (“Saul Holdings Partnership”), in which as of December 31, 2004 the Real Estate Trust owns (directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries) a 19.4% interest, other entities affiliated with the Real Estate Trust own a 4.7% interest and Saul Centers owns a 75.9% interest. Under the Saul Holdings Partnership agreement, the units are generally convertible on a one-for-one basis into common stock of Saul Centers. However, at the current time, the units held by the Real Estate Trust are not convertible into Saul Centers common stock because of restrictions contained in the Saul Holdings Partnership agreement on the number of shares of common stock of Saul Centers that the Real Estate Trust and its affiliates can beneficially own at any point in time. 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 distributions to the partners out of net cash flow. The quarterly distributions since inception have been 39 cents per unit. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, 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 credit line banks.

Pursuant to a reimbursement agreement among the partners of Saul Holdings Partnership and its subsidiary limited partnerships (collectively, the “Partnerships”), the Real Estate Trust and its subsidiaries that are partners in the Partnerships agreed to reimburse Saul Centers and the other partners in the event the Partnerships fail to make payments with respect to certain portions of the Partnerships’ debt obligations and Saul Centers or any such other partners personally make payments with respect to such debt obligations. At December 31, 2004, the maximum potential obligations of the Real Estate Trust and its subsidiaries under this agreement totaled approximately $100.0 million. The Real Estate Trust believes that Saul Holdings will be able to make all payments due with respect to its debt obligations.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – REAL ESTATE TRUST:

On December 27, 2004 the Real Estate Trust determined it would sell one of its other real estate properties because the property no longer meets the Real Estate Trust’s investment criteria. Therefore, on December 27, 2004, the Real Estate Trust determined that the held for sale criteria in accordance with FASB No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” has been met. Accordingly, the Real Estate Trust has compared the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell, to determine if the asset is impaired. The Real Estate Trust has determined that no adjustment to the carrying amount is required. The asset is classified as Real Estate Held for Sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operating income, $18,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, from this asset is included in Loss from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The sale of this asset closed on January 31, 2005. The Real Estate Trust received proceeds from the sale of approximately $1.4 million.

On December 9, 2004 the sale of a hotel property, which was placed on the market for sale during fiscal 2004, was finalized and the Real Estate Trust received proceeds from the sale of approximately $2.2 million. The proceeds from the sale, along with an additional $3.6 million from the Real Estate Trust, were paid into an escrow fund with which United States government securities were purchased. The government securities became replacement collateral for the loan securing the hotel, and became the sole source of payment for the $4.4 million loan (the “Defeased loan”). As a result of the transaction, the principal amount owed by the Real Estate Trust was reduced by $4.4 million, with corresponding reductions in the principal and interest payments to be made to maturity. The escrow fund is maintained by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Securities Intermediary and Custodian, and the Real Estate Trust is no longer the primary obligor with respect to the Defeased loan (see Note 6). Included in the Loss from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 is an additional loss of $11,000 which reflects the difference between the actual loss on the sale of the property and the estimated loss recorded in Fiscal 2004. Also included in the Loss from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets is an operating loss of $186,000 from the hotel property, through December 9, 2004, the date of sale, and $1.6 million of costs associated with the defeasance of the mortgage loan, including a $1.5 million prepayment premium.

6. EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES – REAL ESTATE TRUST:

In connection with the sale of the hotel property (see Note 5) in December 2004 the Real Estate Trust deposited cash of approximately $5.8 million into an escrow fund with which United States government securities were purchased to complete a partial defeasance of a mortgage loan made to the Real Estate Trust. The Defeased loan which totals approximately $4.4 million was accounted for as if it was extinguished in December 2004. The escrowed funds, including cash flows from the investments, which will be used solely to satisfy principal and interest payments of the Defeased loan through maturity, will be sufficient to satisfy all future debt service requirements for the defeased debt instrument.

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

The principal business activities of the Real Estate Trust are the ownership of 80% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank, whose assets accounted for 97% of the Trust’s consolidated assets at December 31, 2004, and the ownership and development of income-producing properties. By virtue of its ownership of a majority interest in the Bank, the Trust is a savings and loan holding company and subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the OTS.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes to be necessary for an understanding of the Trust’s financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements, notes thereto and other information contained in this document.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

REAL ESTATE

The Real Estate Trust’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2004, consisted primarily of hotels, office projects, and land parcels. At December 31, 2004, the Real Estate Trust’s hotel portfolio included 17 properties containing 3,383 available rooms. The office property portfolio consisted of 13 properties with a total gross leasable area of 1,978,000 square feet.

The hotel portfolio, excluding the property which was disposed on December 9, 2004, experienced an average occupancy of 62.9% and an average room rate of $97.97 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, compared to an average occupancy of 60.0% and an average room rate of $85.81 during the same period in the prior year. REVPAR (revenue per available room) for the hotels was $61.64 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004, a 19.8% increase over REVPAR for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003 of $51.46.

Office space in the Real Estate Trust’s office property portfolio was 90.5% leased at December 31, 2004, compared to a leasing rate of 85.9% at December 31, 2003 and 90.0% at September 30, 2004. At December 31, 2004, of the total gross leasable area of 1,978,000 square feet, 175,906 square feet (8.9%) and 183,062 square feet (9.3%) are subject to leases expiring in the remainder of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

BANKING

General. The Bank’s assets increased by $94.4 million during the current quarter to $13.4 billion at December 31, 2004. Investment and mortgage-backed securities increased by a combined $266.2 million due to additional purchases during the current quarter. Total loans decreased $209.7 million to $10.3 billion at December 31, 2004. The Bank recorded operating income of $69.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, compared to operating income of $31.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The increase in operating income is attributable to increases in interest income and other (non-interest) income and to decreases in interest expense and the provision for loan losses.

At December 31, 2004, the Bank’s tangible, core, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 6.15%, 6.15%, 8.83% and 11.14%, respectively. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded regulatory requirements 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, 2004, the Bank declared and paid out of retained earnings a cash dividend on its Common Stock in the amount of $1,200 per share. The Bank also declared and paid a cash dividend on its Preferred Stock in the amount of $0.50 per share.

Non-performing assets totaled $35.4 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $34.1 million at September 30, 2004. The $1.3 million increase in non-performing assets during the current quarter resulted primarily from the transfer of a real estate construction loan to non-accrual status. The Bank maintained $37.8 million of valuation allowances on its loan portfolio at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004.

Delinquent Loans. At December 31, 2004, delinquent loans totaled $32.6 million, or 0.3% of loans, essentially unchanged from the level at September 30, 2004. The following table sets forth information regarding the Bank’s delinquent loans at December 31, 2004.

Total residential mortgage loans delinquent 30-89 days increased to $10.2 million at December 31, 2004 from $8.2 million at September 30, 2004, with the majority of the increase in the 60-89 days category.

Delinquent subprime automobile loans decreased to $6.5 million at December 31, 2004 from $8.9 million at September 30, 2004. Delinquent other consumer loans increased to $9.7 million at December 31, 2004 from $7.1 million at September 30, 2004.

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 assets which 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, 2004 and September 30, 2004, potential problem assets totaled $0.7 million.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. At December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, the Bank had no troubled debt restructurings.

Total	$	37,750			$	37,750

At December 31, 2004, the Bank’s total allowances for losses on loans and real estate held for investment or sale was $38.0 million, unchanged from the level at September 30, 2004. The allowance for losses on loans represents management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The Bank’s allowance consists of several key elements, which include the allocated allowance, specific allowances for identified loans and the unallocated allowance. Management reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowances on loans using a variety of measures and tools including historical loss performance, delinquency status, current economic conditions, internal risk ratings and current underwriting policies and procedures.

The allowance for losses on single-family residential loans was $4.3 million at both December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004. The allowance for losses on loans secured by real estate totaled $10.1 million at December 31, 2004, which constituted 85.5% of total non-accrual real estate loans. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $0.2 million on these assets.

The allowance for losses on prime automobile loans increased slightly during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 as a result of increased delinquencies on these loans.

The $6.9 million of unallocated allowance for losses at December 31, 2004 remained unchanged from the level at September 30, 2004. The unallocated allowance is based upon management’s evaluation and judgement of various conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the allocated allowance. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance include existing general economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas of the Bank, credit quality trends, collateral volumes, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, recent loss experience, regulatory examination results and findings of the Bank’s internal credit evaluations.

The Bank’s valuation allowance for losses on real estate held for investment or sale was $0.2 million at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004.

Asset and Liability Management. The following table presents the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity gap at December 31, 2004. Balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are shown in the earlier of the period where contractual payments are due, interest rates adjust or prepayment is anticipated to occur. Adjustable and floating rate loans are included in the period in which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust, and prepayment rates are assumed for all of the Bank’s loans based on management’s estimates. The Bank’s deposits with no stated maturity, including savings and transaction accounts, have interest rates that may reprice at any time. However, market experience has proven that these deposits adjust to market prices over a much longer period of time. The Bank considers these deposits to be relatively insensitive to interest rate changes. The table contains information of the Bank only and does not include consolidation or elimination entries required for the Trust’s financial presentation.

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 20.2% at December 31, 2004, essentially unchanged from 20.8% at September 30, 2004. The current gap reflects various initiatives undertaken by management in light of the current interest rate environment, including increased origination of short-term adjustable rate loans which were funded through the use of short-term deposits and borrowings.

Capital. At December 31, 2004, the Bank complied with all of its regulatory capital requirements under FDICIA, 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, 2004, compared 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. The table contains information of the Bank only and does not include consolidation or elimination entries required for the Trust’s financial presentation.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, a subsidiary of the Bank purchased for $10.4 million an ownership interest in a limited liability company. The investment is classified as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is treated as a non-includable asset and deducted from core capital for regulatory capital purposes.

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

REAL ESTATE

The Real Estate Trust’s cash flows from operating activities have historically been insufficient to meet all of its cash flow requirements. The Real Estate Trust’s internal sources 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. Although cash flows from operating activities have improved over the prior two fiscal years and for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, 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 three-month period ended December 31, 2004, the Bank made tax sharing payments totaling $458,000 and dividend payments totaling $9.6 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 Real Estate 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 Real Estate 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 Real Estate Trust would be obligated to reimburse the Bank 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 three-month period ended December 31, 2004, the Trust purchased through dividend reinvestment or direct purchase, 160,000 shares of common stock of Saul Centers and as of December 31, 2004 owned approximately 4,250,000 shares representing 25.9% of such company’s outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2004, the market value of these shares was approximately $162.6 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 three-month period ended December 31, 2004, 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.

On February 25, 2004, the Real Estate Trust issued, in a private offering, $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (the “2004 Notes”). The 2004 Notes are nonrecourse obligations of the Real Estate Trust and are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the common stock of the Bank held by the Real Estate Trust. The Real Estate Trust used the net proceeds to redeem all of its outstanding $200.0 million aggregate principal of 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2008, to fund renovation and construction activities as well as for general corporate purposes.

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.

The Real Estate Trust has a $55.0 million secured revolving credit line with an unrelated bank that matures on December 12, 2006, with provisions for extending the term for an additional year. 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, 2004, the Real Estate Trust had no outstanding borrowings and unrestricted availability of $55.0 million. On January 31, 2005 the Real Estate Trust executed an extension and expansion of its $55.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The credit facility was increased to $60.0 million, the interest rate spread over the floating index was reduced by 25 basis points to 200 basis points over the floating index and the term of the credit facility was extended to January 31, 2008, with provisions for extending the term for an additional year.

The Real Estate Trust also has an additional $45.0 million revolving credit line with an unrelated bank that matures on September 26, 2006. 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, 2004, the Real Estate Trust had no outstanding borrowings and unrestricted availability of $45.0 million.

The maturity schedule for the Real Estate Trust’s outstanding debt at December 31, 2004 for the balance of fiscal 2005 and subsequent years is set forth in the following table:

Of the total mortgage debt outstanding at December 31, 2004, $296.0 million was non-recourse to the Real Estate Trust.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Real Estate Trust has placed one of its other real estate properties on the market for sale because the property no longer meets the Real Estate Trusts investment criteria. No adjustment to the carrying value of the property was required. The sale of this asset closed on January 31, 2005. The Real Estate Trust received proceeds from the sale of approximately $1.4 million.

The Real Estate Trust owns various land parcels with approximately 380 acres of available land. These parcels offer potential development opportunities for the Trust.

The Real Estate Trust believes that the capital improvement costs for its income-producing properties will be in the range of $12.0 to $19.0 million per year for the next several years.

BANKING

Liquidity. The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan demand or unexpected deposit withdrawals. The Bank accomplishes this goal by maintaining liquid assets in the form of cash and short-term investments, as well as sufficient unused borrowing capacity with securities dealers and other wholesale lenders. Growth in the Bank’s core deposits and principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities also provide sources of liquidity. In addition, the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio can be used as collateral for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta.

At December 31, 2004, the estimated remaining collateral, after market value and other adjustments, of that portion of the Bank’s assets that may be pledged to the FHLB of Atlanta and various securities dealers totaled $3.6 billion, or 26.7% of total assets. The Bank’s maximum credit availability with the FHLB of Atlanta is 50% of total assets, provided that the Bank has sufficient collateral to pledge against its advances and subject to certain limitations and conditions imposed by the FHLB of Atlanta.

Also at December 31, 2004, the Bank had cash and other short-term assets totaling $571.0 million, or 4.3% of total assets.

The Bank also accesses a variety of other short-term and long-term funding sources, including securitizations and sales of loan receivables. As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank sold or securitized and sold $1.9 billion of single-family residential mortgage loans during the December 2004 quarter. Generally, all long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans originated during the current quarter have been or are in the process of being sold. Variable rate mortgage loans are either sold or placed into the Bank’s 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 used from time to time will be determined by a number of factors, including capital planning objectives, lending and investment strategies and market conditions.

Loan Originations, Securitizations and Sales – Retained Interests and Servicing Assets.In connection with its loan origination, securitization and sale activities, the Bank generally receives or retains various interests in the sold loans, which may include servicing assets, securities, or interest-only certificates and/or interest-only strips receivable (collectively, “interest-only strips receivable”). The Bank sometimes 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 assets based on future cash flows expected 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 following tables summarize the carrying value of these assets at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004.

Commitments and Contingencies.The Bank 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, 2004, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements was $2.0 million and consisted of restricted cash accounts. At September 30, 2004, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements was $3.8 million, consisting of restricted cash accounts amounting to $2.0 million and overcollateralization of receivables amounting to $1.8 million.

The Bank also is obligated under recourse provisions related to the servicing of certain residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements totaled $4.0 million. There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2004.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

REAL ESTATE

The Real Estate Trust recorded an operating loss from continuing operations of $4.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 quarter”) compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $5.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2003 (the “2003 quarter”). The changes reflect improved operating results in the hotel portfolio and lower interest and amortization of debt expense offset by increased depreciation, advisory and management fees and general and administrative expenses.

Income after direct operating expenses from hotels increased $1.7 million, or 27.4%, in the 2004 quarter from the level achieved in the 2003 quarter. Total revenue increased $3.9 million, or 18.8%, as the overall occupancy percentage for the hotel properties increased from 60.0% for the 2003 quarter to 62.9% for the 2004 quarter, a 4.8% increase, while the average room rate increased $12.16, or 14.2%, from $85.81 in the 2003 quarter to $97.97 in the 2004 quarter, reflecting the strong demand at the Real Estate Trust’s hotel properties, particularly the Northern Virginia and Florida properties. Room sales for the 2004 quarter increased $3.2 million, or 19.9%, from the 2003 quarter, while food, beverage and other sales increased $717,000, or 15.3%. Direct operating expenses increased approximately $2.2 million, or 15.0%, reflecting increased operating costs, such as payroll costs, advertising, franchise costs and other operating costs associated with the increased hotel occupancy.

Income after direct operating expenses from office and industrial properties increased $160,000, or 2.5%, in the 2004 quarter compared to the 2003 quarter. Total revenue increased $216,000, or 2.3%, in the 2004 quarter. Successful leasing efforts during the quarter and the prior fiscal year have increased the office and industrial overall occupancy percentage from 85.9% at December 31, 2003 to 90.5% at December 31, 2004. The revenue generated from the increased occupancy is slightly offset by lower rental rates as leases turn over. Direct operating expenses increased $56,000, or 2.0%, as higher leasing, payroll and utility costs offset lower bad debt expenses.

Other income, which includes interest income, income from other real estate properties and other miscellaneous income, increased $96,000, or 42.3%, principally due to higher interest income in the quarter reflecting the Trust’s increased invested cash balance in the 2004 Quarter.

Land parcels and other expense increased $11,000, or 4.6% in the 2004 quarter when compared to the 2003 quarter as a result of increased operating expenses at the Real Estate Trust’s other real estate properties.

Interest and amortization of debt expense decreased $439,000, or 3.5%, in the 2004 quarter when compared to the 2003 quarter. Interest expense in the 2004 quarter includes interest of approximately $4.7 million on the $250 million 7.50% Senior Secured Notes which were issued on February 25, 2004, interest expense in the 2003 quarter includes interest of approximately $4.9 million on the redeemed $200 million 9.75% Senior Secured Notes. Other interest expense was lower by approximately $280,000 due to reduced mortgage interest expense, due to the lower mortgage balances, lower line of credit interest expense and lower unsecured note interest. The average balance of outstanding borrowings increased to $615.5 million in the 2004 quarter from $578.9 million in the 2003 quarter, reflecting the increased principal of the Senior Secured Note debt which offset lower mortgage and line of credit balances. The average cost of borrowings was 7.82% in the 2004 quarter and 8.66% in the 2003 quarter. The decreased average cost of borrowings reflects the 225 basis point reduction in the outstanding Senior Secured Note debt. Amortization of debt expense increased approximately $30,000 in the 2004 quarter reflecting the amortization of the costs associated with the $250 million Senior Secured Note offering.

Depreciation expense increased $483,000, or 10.8%, reflecting capital improvements in both the hotel and office and industrial portfolios that have been placed in service during the 2004 quarter and the prior fiscal year.

Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties increased $287,000 or 9.4%, in the 2004 quarter when compared to the 2003 quarter. The advisory fee in the 2004 quarter was $487,000 per month compared to $472,000 per month for the 2003 quarter, an aggregate increase of $45,000. The remainder of the increase, totaling $242,000, was due mainly to higher hotel management fees reflecting the 18.8% increase in hotel revenue.

General and administrative expense increased $242,000 from $311,000 in the 2003 quarter to $553,000 in the 2004 quarter due to higher legal, accounting and other administrative costs.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities reflected net earnings of $1.7 million in the 2004 quarter as compared to $1.9 million in the 2003 quarter, a decrease of $183,000, or 9.5%. Earnings from Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers were lower by $80,000

in the 2004 quarter primarily due to dilution caused by a November 2003 Saul Centers preferred stock offering and additional general and administrative costs incurred by the organization which offset increases in operating income generated as a result of the acquisition activity of those entities. Losses from other investments totaled $227,000 in the 2004 quarter compared to $124,000 in the 2003 quarter. These losses are a result of write-downs of a certain non-public investment accounted for under the equity method.

During the 2004 quarter the Real Estate Trust determined that it would sell one of its other real estate properties. Included in the net 2004 quarter Loss from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets of $1.8 million is operating income of $18,000 for this property. The sale of this asset closed on January 31, 2005. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 (“Fiscal 2004”) the Real Estate Trust determined it would sell one of its hotel properties and wrote down its investment in this asset to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell in Fiscal 2004. The sale of the hotel property closed on December 9, 2004. Included in the 2004 quarter Loss from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Asset is an additional loss of $11,000 which reflects the difference between the actual loss on the sale of the hotel property and the estimated loss recorded in Fiscal 2004. Also included in the Loss from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets is an operating loss of $186,000 for the hotel property for the period during the 2004 quarter that the Real Estate Trust owned and operated the property and $1.6 million of costs associated with the defeasance of the mortgage which the hotel property secured, including a $1.5 million prepayment premium.

BANKING

Overview. The Bank recorded operating income of $69.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 quarter”), compared to operating income of $31.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 (the “2003 quarter”). The increase in operating income was attributable to increases in interest income and other (non-interest) income and decreases in interest expense and the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased $25.6 million (or 44.0%) in the 2004 quarter. No interest income was recorded on non-accrual and restructured loans during the 2004 quarter. The Bank would have recorded additional interest income of $0.2 million during the 2004 quarter if non-accrual assets and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms. 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. The table contains information of the bank only and does not include consolidation or elimination entries required for the Trust’s financial presentation.

Interest income in the 2004 quarter increased $21.4 million (or 20.5%) from the 2003 quarter primarily as a result of higher average yields on higher average balances of loans receivable. Partially offsetting the increased income was a decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities caused by lower average balances and lower average yields.

The Bank’s net interest spread increased to 2.79% in the 2004 quarter from 2.28% in the 2003 quarter. The 51 basis point increase was primarily the result of a 197 basis point decrease in the cost of borrowings. Average interest-earning assets as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 105.4% for the 2004 quarter compared to 101.7% for the 2003 quarter.

Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, increased to $118.3 million for the 2004 quarter from $97.0 million for the 2003 quarter primarily because of higher average balances and average yields of loans receivable. The average yield on the loan portfolio increased 17 basis points (from 4.20% to 4.37%) from the 2003 quarter, reflecting increases in the various indices on which interest rates of adjustable rate loans are based. Interest income on single-family residential loans increased $17.9 million due to $1.4 billion of higher average balances as well as higher average yields during the 2004 quarter. Lower average yields and lower average balances of automobile loans resulted in a $5.0 million (or 51.3%) decrease in interest income on those loans.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $0.7 million (or 14.0%) due to a $43.5 million decline in average balances as well as a decrease in the average interest yields on those securities from 4.88% to 4.66%.

Interest expense on deposits increased $4.2 million (or 29.9%) during the 2004 quarter. The increase resulted from a 16 basis point increase in the average rate on deposits (from 0.79% to 0.95%) due to increased rates paid by the Bank in response to increases in market interest rates and a $511.1 million increase in average deposit balances for the 2004 quarter.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $8.5 million (or 26.2%) in the 2004 quarter compared to the 2003 quarter. Interest expense on advances from the FHLB of Atlanta decreased $5.0 million (or 19.7%) due primarily to lower average rates paid on the advances which was partially offset by higher average balances. The Bank replaced maturing higher cost advances with lower cost advances

throughout the past year. The average balances of subordinated debentures decreased by $134.0 million, and the average rate on those borrowings decreased by 190 basis points resulting in a decrease of $3.8 million in interest expense. On December 2, 2003, the Bank issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6⁷/8% subordinated debentures due 2013. On January 2, 2004, the net proceeds of the offering, along with short-term borrowings, were used to redeem all $250.0 million of the Bank’s 9¹/4% subordinated debentures due 2005 and 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the 2004 quarter, the Bank recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $0.4 million, compared to a provision of $5.9 million in the 2003 quarter. The negative provision reflected the amount of the Bank’s recoveries in excess of charge-offs on the Bank’s loan portfolio during the quarter. Management’s prior decisions to discontinue subprime automobile lending and indirect consumer lending, and focus more on residential mortgages, have improved the overall credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. As the balances of automobile loans continue to decline, charge-offs and delinquencies also have been declining. The combination of these factors contributed to the Bank’s decision to reduce the provision for loan losses. See “Financial Condition – Asset Quality – Allowances for Losses.”

Other income. Other non-interest income increased to $133.6 million in the 2004 quarter from $126.0 million in the 2003 quarter. The $7.6 million (or 6.0%) increase was primarily attributable to an increase in servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income as well as deposit servicing fees, offset partially by decreases in automobile rental income.

Servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income increased to $59.9 million in the 2004 quarter, from $36.6 million in the 2003 quarter, primarily as a result of a gain of $54.9 million resulting from the securitization and sale of $1.6 billion of loans during the 2004 quarter compared to a gain of $26.8 million resulting from the securitization and sale of $776.9 million of loans in the 2003 quarter.

Deposit servicing fees increased to $34.1 million in the 2004 quarter, from $31.3 million in the 2003 quarter, primarily due to fees generated from the continued expansion of the Bank’s branch network.

Automobile rental income decreased to $25.2 million in the 2004 quarter from $46.4 million in the prior corresponding quarter. The $21.2 million decrease resulted primarily from a $406.2 million (or 51.1%) decrease in average outstanding leases as a result of the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of automobile leases.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses during the 2004 quarter increased $0.7 million from the 2003 quarter. The increase was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses, which were mostly offset by reductions in depreciation and amortization.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $15.6 million (or 34.1%), largely as a result of decreased depreciation expense of automobiles subject to lease. Depreciation expense related to automobiles subject to lease decreased $16.1 million, to $19.7 million for the 2004 quarter, due to lower levels of outstanding leases resulting from the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of those leases.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $9.5 million (or 17.4%) in the 2004 quarter due primarily to increased expenses in the retail branch network.

Servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses increased $5.9 million (or 60.8%) as a result of an increase in amortization expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Contributing to the increased expense was a $3.9 million reduction in the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance caused by an increase in the value of the Bank’s mortgage servicing assets during the 2003 quarter.
