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 and nine months ended June 30, 2005, including the reclassification of certain income and expense amounts to loss from operations of discontinued real estate assets to assure comparability of all periods presented.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
The Real Estate Trust purchases real estate investment properties from time to time and allocates the purchase price to various components, such as land, buildings and intangibles related to in-place leases and customer relationships in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair value of each component. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon acquisition and subsequently leased at market rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all cash flows to be generated from the property including the initial lease up period. The Real Estate Trust determines the fair value of above and below market intangibles associated with in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent and remaining term of the lease relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. In the case of below market leases, the Real Estate Trust considers the remaining contractual lease period and renewal periods, taking into consideration the likelihood of the tenant exercising its renewal options. The fair value of a below market lease component is recorded as deferred income and amortized as additional lease revenue over the remaining contractual lease period and any renewal options included in the valuation analysis. The fair value of above market lease intangibles is recorded as a deferred asset and is amortized as a reduction of lease revenue over the remaining contractual lease term. The Real Estate Trust determines the fair value of at-market in-place leases considering the cost of acquiring similar leases, foregone rents associated with the lease-up period and carrying costs associated with the lease-up period. Intangible assets associated with at-market in-place leases are amortized as additional lease expense over the remaining contractual lease term. To the extent customer relationship intangibles are present in an acquisition, the fair value of the intangibles are amortized over the life of the customer relationship.
ADOPTION OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” or “SFAS 154,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections or errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, although early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after SFAS 154 was issued. The Trust does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

3. 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 nine month period ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. 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. On March 10, 2005, the Trust declared a dividend on its common shares of $0.4362 per share, totaling approximately $2.1 million, payable on March 18, 2005, to holders of record on March 11, 2005. On June 23, 2005 the Trust declared a dividend on its common shares of $0.342 per share, totaling $1.6 million, payable on June 24, 2005, to holders of record on June 20, 2005.
4. 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.
5. INVESTMENT IN SAUL CENTERS, INC. AND SAUL HOLDINGS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP – REAL ESTATE TRUST:
During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Real Estate Trust purchased, either through dividend reinvestment or direct purchase, approximately 328,000 shares of common stock of Saul Centers, Inc. (“Saul Centers”), and as of June 30, 2005 owned approximately 4,418,000 shares representing 26.5% of such company’s outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2005, the market value of these shares was approximately $160.6 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 June 30, 2005 the Real Estate Trust owns (directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries) a 19.1% interest, other entities affiliated with the Real Estate Trust own a 4.7% interest and Saul Centers owns a 76.2% 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 nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Real Estate Trust received total cash distributions of $4.9 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 June 30, 2005, 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.

6. REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED – REAL ESTATE TRUST:
On May 25, 2005 the Real Estate Trust acquired an approximately 12,000 square foot office building located in Montgomery County, Maryland for approximately $5.3 million. The Real Estate Trust accounted for the acquisition in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The Real Estate Trust allocates the purchase price to various components, such as land, building and intangibles related to in-place leases and customer relationships, if applicable, as described in Note 2. The $5.3 million total cost includes both the property’s purchase price and closing costs. A total of $150,000 of the total cost was allocated as lease intangible assets and included in other assets at June 30, 2005. The lease intangible assets are being amortized over the remaining periods of the leases acquired, a weighted average term of 2.6 years. The values of below market leases totaled $266,000 and are being amortized over a weighted average term of 2.1 years and included in other liabilities and accrued expenses at June 30, 2005. There were no above market lease intangibles.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS – REAL ESTATE TRUST:
The Real Estate Trust has executed two contracts to purchase land parcels from affiliates and posted deposits totaling $350,000, included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2005. The first purchase, for $1.9 million, closed on July 25, 2005 and was funded from available cash on hand. The total purchase price of the two parcels is approximately $8.1 million, which was established using independent appraisals. The Trust also intends to fund the second transaction through available cash on hand.
Under an existing unsecured note receivable from B.F. Saul Company not to exceed $15.3 million, the Real Estate Trust advanced an additional net amount of $8.0 million during the current year, a $9.1 million advance offset by reimbursements of $1.1 million. At June 30, 2005, the note balance totaled $13.9 million and accrued interest totaled $1.8 million.
8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – REAL ESTATE TRUST:
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005 the Real Estate Trust determined that it would sell two of its hotel properties which no longer met its investment criteria. Therefore, as of June 30, 2005, 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 for both properties. Accordingly, the Real Estate Trust has compared the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair value, less cost to sell, to determine if the assets are impaired. The Real Estate Trust has determined that no adjustments to the carrying amounts are required. The assets are classified as Real Estate Held for Sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Mortgage notes secured by these properties are classified as Mortgage notes payable – real estate held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The combined operating loss of $1.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 for the two properties is included in Income (loss) from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On December 27, 2004 the Real Estate Trust determined it would sell one of its other real estate properties because the property no longer met 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 has been met. Accordingly, the Real Estate Trust compared the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell, to determine if the asset had been impaired. The Real Estate Trust determined that no adjustment to the carrying amount was required. The sale of this asset closed on January 31, 2005, resulting in a gain of approximately $900,000, which is included in Income (loss) from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Real Estate Trust received proceeds from the sale of approximately $1.4 million. The operating income, $11,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, from this asset is also included in Income (loss) from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
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 9). Included in the Income (loss) from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine-months ended June 30, 2005 is an additional loss of $17,000 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 Income (loss) from Operations of Discontinued Real Estate Assets is an operating loss of $201,000 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.
12
9. EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES – REAL ESTATE TRUST:
In connection with the sale of the hotel property (see Note 8) 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 were extinguished in December 2004.
10. NOTES PAYABLE – SECURED – REAL ESTATE TRUST:
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 rate index and the term of the credit facility was extended to January 31, 2008, with provisions for extending the term for an additional year.
On June 30, 2005 the Real Estate Trust executed an extension and expansion of its $45.0 million secured revolving credit facility.

19. LITIGATION – THE BANK:
In the normal course of business, the Bank is involved in litigation, which may include litigation arising out of its lending activities, the enforcement or defense of the priority of its security interests, the continued development and marketing of certain of its real estate properties and certain employment claims. Although the amounts claimed in some of these suits in which the Bank is a defendant may be material, the Bank denies liability and, in the opinion of management, litigation currently pending will not have a material impact on the financial condition or future operations of the Bank.

The hotel portfolio, including the two properties held for sale but excluding the property which was sold on December 9, 2004, experienced an average occupancy of 67.5% and an average room rate of $106.62 during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to an average occupancy of 66.3% and an average room rate of $92.03 during the same period in the prior year. REVPAR (revenue per available room) for the hotels was $71.94 for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, an 18.0% increase over REVPAR for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2004 of $60.99.
Office space in the Real Estate Trust’s office property portfolio was 92.3% leased at June 30, 2005, compared to a leasing rate of 88.9% at June 30, 2004 and 91.6% at March 31, 2005. At June 30, 2005, of the total gross leasable area of 1,990,000 square feet, 61,319 square feet (3.1%) and 186,696 square feet (9.4%) were subject to leases expiring in the remainder of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, respectively.
BANKING
General. The Bank’s assets increased by $545.1 million during the current quarter to $14.3 billion at June 30, 2005. Total loans increased $414.2 million to $11.1 billion at June 30, 2005. The Bank recorded operating income of $23.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to operating income of $76.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in operating income is attributable to an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in other (non-interest) income which were partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Primarily as a result of higher residential mortgage loan prepayments, and anticipation that prepayment levels will remain high in the short-term, the Bank increased its prepayment speed assumptions for and reduced the carrying value of its interest-only strips receivable and servicing assets which are included on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income and servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses, respectively. Prepayments increased in the quarter as a result of a flattening of the “yield curve” which management believes led to more borrowers with adjustable rate mortgage loans refinancing those loans with loans with interest rates that are fixed for longer periods. See “Loan Originations, Securitizations and Sales – Retained Interests and Servicing Assets.”
At June 30, 2005, the Bank’s tangible, core, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.86%, 5.86%, 8.81% and 10.99%, 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 June 30, 2005, the Bank declared and paid out of retained earnings a cash dividend on its Common Stock in the amount of $1,400 per share. The Bank also declared and paid a cash dividend on its Preferred Stock in the amount of $0.50 per share.

Residential mortgage loans delinquent 30-89 days increased to $28.5 million (50 loans) at June 30, 2005 from $12.0 million (34 loans) at March 31, 2005.
Home equity loans delinquent 30-89 days decreased to $9.2 million at June 30, 2005 from $13.2 million at March 31, 2005. In January 2005, the Bank migrated the servicing of its home equity loans to a new software system. The decrease in delinquent balances is the result of various transitional issues related to the conversion which were resolved during the current quarter.
Other delinquent loans decreased to $9.2 million at June 30, 2005 from $10.7 million at March 31, 2005. The amount of delinquent automobile loans continues to decline as the outstanding loan portfolio declines as a result of management’s prior decisions to discontinue originating indirect consumer loans.
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 June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, potential problem assets totaled $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Troubled Debt Restructurings. At June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, the Bank had no troubled debt restructurings.
Real Estate Held for Investment. At June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, real estate held for investment consisted of one property with a book value of $0.9 million, net of a valuation allowance of $0.2 million.
Allowances for Losses. The following tables show loss experience by asset type and the components of the allowance for losses on loans.

At June 30, 2005, the Bank’s total allowances for losses on loans and real estate held for investments or sale was $31.2 million, a decrease of $2.8 million form the level at March 31, 2005. The decrease primarily reflected a decrease in the allowance for losses on prime automobile loans as a result of a further decline in those loan balances. 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 residential mortgage loans was $5.1 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $0.8 million from the level at March 31, 2005. The allowance for losses on loans secured by real estate totaled $11.1 million at June 30, 2005, which constituted 100.7% of total non-accrual real estate loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank recorded net charge-offs of $0.4 million on these assets.
The allowance for losses on prime and subprime automobile loans decreased $2.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Management reduced the allowance for these loans in light of decreased balances, delinquencies and losses in these portfolios.
The unallocated allowance for losses totaled $5.7 million at June 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.5 million from the level at March 31, 2005. 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 June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005.
Asset and Liability Management. The following table presents the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity gap at June 30, 2005. 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.

During the current fiscal year, a subsidiary of the Bank purchased for $10.4 million a non-controlling ownership interest in a limited liability company. The investment is classified as other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and is treated as a non-includable asset and deducted from core capital for regulatory capital purposes. As of June 30, 2005, the Bank’s investment totaled $19.4 million.
OTS capital regulations provide a five-year holding period (or such longer period as may be approved by the OTS) for REO to qualify for an exception from treatment as an equity investment. If an REO property is considered an equity investment, its then-current book value is deducted from total risk-based capital. The following table sets forth the Bank’s REO at June 30, 2005, by the fiscal year in which the property was acquired through foreclosure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
REAL ESTATE
The Real Estate Trust’s cash flows from operating activities have 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 nine-months ended June 30, 2005, 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 nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Bank made tax sharing payments totaling $1.8 million and dividend payments totaling $31.2 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 nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Trust purchased through dividend reinvestment or direct purchase, approximately 328,000 shares of common stock of Saul Centers and as of June 30, 2005 owned approximately 4,418,000 shares representing 26.5% of such company’s outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2005, the market value of these shares was approximately $160.6 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 nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Real Estate Trust received total cash distributions of $4.9 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 $60.0 million secured revolving credit line with an unrelated bank that matures on January 31, 2008, 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 June 30, 2005, the Real Estate Trust had no outstanding borrowings and unrestricted availability of $60.0 million. The credit facility was increased on January 31, 2005 from $55.0 million to its current $60.0 million availability. 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 from December 12, 2006 to January 31, 2008, with provisions for extending the term for an additional year.
The Real Estate Trust has an additional $60.0 million revolving credit line with an unrelated bank that matures on June 30, 2008, 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 March 31, 2005, the Real Estate Trust had no outstanding borrowings and unrestricted availability of $60.0 million. On June 30, 2005 this facility was expanded from $45.0 million to $60.0 million and the term extended from September 26, 2006 to June 30, 2008, with provisions for extending the term for an additional year. The interest rate spread remained the same at 200 basis points over the floating rate index.

REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION, DISPOSITION, DEVELOPMENT AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
On May 25, 2005 the Real Estate Trust acquired an approximately 12,000 square foot office building located in Montgomery County, Maryland for approximately $5.3 million.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2005 the Real Estate Trust placed two of its hotel properties on the market for sale, as these properties no longer meet its investment criteria. No adjustment to the carrying value of the properties was required. The sales are expected to close within the next twelve months.
The Real Estate Trust sold one of its other real estate properties because the property no longer met the Real Estate Trust’s 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, resulting in a gain of $900,000.
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 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 $15.0 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 June 30, 2005, 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 $3.5 billion, or 24.7% 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 June 30, 2005, the Bank had cash and other short-term assets totaling $839.2 million, or 5.9% 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 $1.5 billion of single-family residential mortgage loans during the June 2005 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.During the current quarter, the Bank reduced the carrying value of its servicing assets and interest-only strips receivable as a result of higher prepayments of loans underlying these assets. Prepayments increased in the quarter as a result of a flattening of the “yield curve,” that is, a narrowing of the difference between short term interest rates, which determine the interest rates on the adjustable rate mortgages generated by the Bank, and long term interest rates, which determine the interest rates on mortgages with interest rates fixed for longer periods. Presumably, more borrowers under adjustable rate mortgages chose to prepay those loans than in prior periods to refinance using mortgages with rates fixed for longer periods. 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 securitizations through one or more means, most often through the establishment of reserve accounts or overcollateralization of receivables. 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 June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005.

The carrying value of the Bank’s servicing assets decreased by $7.8 million during the current quarter as a result of (a) a $16.3 million decrease in the fair value of servicing rights primarily related to increases in actual and estimated future prepayment speeds of the underlying loans and (b) $16.1 million of amortization expenses related to previously capitalized servicing rights. These decreases were partially offset by the capitalization of $24.6 million of servicing rights related to $1.7 billion of mortgage loans sold, servicing retained. The Bank did not purchase or sell any bulk servicing rights during the current quarter.

The Bank’s interest-only strips represent a constant rate on each loan which is fixed for the life of the transaction. The carrying value of the Bank’s interest-only strips receivable decreased by $11.0 million during the current quarter as a result of a $53.9 million decrease in the fair value of the interest-only strips receivable primarily related to increases in actual and estimated future prepayment speeds of the underlying loans and $30.7 million of cash received. These decreases were partially offset by capitalization of $65.5 million of interest-only strips receivable related to $1.4 billion of mortgage loans sold where the Bank retained or received such interest-only strips receivable. The increase in the amount of the additions in the nine month period compared to the prior year is due to a $767.5 million increase in the amount of loans sold to $4.1 billion in the 2005 period compared to $3.4 billion in the 2004 period. The increase in the amount of cash received in both the three-month and nine-month periods results from an increase in the amount of mortgage loans to which the interest-only strips receivable relate.

Key assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of the interest-only strips receivable to an immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse change in those assumptions are as follows:

(1) | Expected weighted average life and prepayment speed assumptions are based on life of securitization. |
(2) | Represents Constant Prepayment Rate. Certain loans may require the payment of a fee if the borrower prepays the loan during the period up to three years after origination. The Bank uses a lower prepayment assumption during these periods. |
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in the fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. The effects shown in the above table of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of interest-only strips receivable is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another factor, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
Commitments and Contingencies.The Bank is obligated under recourse provisions related to the servicing of certain residential mortgage loans. At both June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements totaled $3.9 million.
There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2005

The Real Estate Trust recorded operating income from continuing operations of $1.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (the “2005 quarter”) compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $9.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 (the “2004 quarter”). The changes reflect improved operating results in the hotel portfolio, lower interest and amortization of debt expense and higher equity earnings from unconsolidated entities offset by increased depreciation and advisory and management fees. Included in the 2004 quarter were a write-off of unamortized debt costs of $2.4 million and an early redemption premium of $6.5 million associated with the payoff of the Real Estate Trust’s $200 million Senior Secured Notes.
Income after direct operating expenses from hotels, which excludes the two hotel properties held for sale, increased $2.1 million, or 20.6%, in the 2005 quarter from the level achieved in the 2004 quarter. Total revenue increased approximately $4.2 million, or 17.2%, as the overall occupancy percentage for the hotel properties increased slightly from 77.4% in the 2004 quarter to 77.6 % in the 2005 quarter while the average room rate for the hotel properties increased $16.96, or 17.0%, from $99.64 in the 2004 quarter to $116.60 in the 2005 quarter, reflecting the strong demand at the Real Estate Trust’s hotel properties, particularly the Northern Virginia and Florida properties. Room sales for the 2005 quarter increased $3.4 million, or 17.4%, from the 2004 quarter, while food, beverage and other sales increased $772,000, or 16.2%. Direct operating expenses increased $2.0 million, or 14.5%, reflecting increased operating costs, such as payroll costs, repairs and maintenance, hotel franchise and marketing costs and other operating costs associated with the increased hotel revenue.
Income after direct operating expenses from office and industrial properties increased $435,000, or 6.5%, in the 2005 quarter compared to the 2004 quarter. Total revenue increased $312,000, or 3.2%, in the 2005 quarter. Successful leasing efforts during the current and prior fiscal years have increased the office and industrial overall occupancy percentage from 88.9% at June 30, 2004 to 92.3% at June 30, 2005. The revenue generated from the increased occupancy is slightly offset by lower rental rates as leases turn over. In addition the Real Estate Trust acquired an approximately 12,000 square foot office building on May 25, 2005 which contributed revenue of $57,000 to the 2005 quarter. Direct operating expenses decreased $123,000, or 4.2%, as lower repair and maintenance, utility costs and bad debt expenses offset higher payroll costs and property taxes.
Other income, which includes interest income, income from other real estate properties and other miscellaneous income, increased $119,000 or 34.1%, principally due to higher interest income in the quarter reflecting the Real Estate Trust’s increased invested cash balance in the 2005 Quarter which offset lower income from the other real estate properties.
Land parcels and other expense increased $8,000, or 3.2% in the 2005 quarter when compared to the 2004 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 $9.2 million in the 2005 quarter when compared to the 2004 quarter. Included in the 2004 quarter were a write-off of unamortized debt costs of $2.4 million and an early redemption premium of $6.5 million associated with the payoff of the Real Estate Trust’s $200 million Senior Secured Notes. Other interest expense was lower by approximately $309,000 due to reduced mortgage interest expense, lower mortgage balances and lower unsecured note interest. The average balance of outstanding borrowings decreased to $606.9 million in the 2005 quarter from $654.5 million in the 2004 quarter, reflecting the decreased principal of the Senior Secured Note debt and lower mortgage balances. The average cost of borrowings was 7.82% in the 2005 quarter and 11.44% in the 2004 quarter. The decreased average cost of borrowings reflects the $6.5 million early redemption premium in the 2004 quarter as well as the 225 basis point reduction in the outstanding Senior Secured Note debt.
Depreciation expense increased $285,000, or 6.5%, reflecting capital improvements in both the hotel and office and industrial portfolios that have been placed in service during fiscal 2005 and the prior fiscal year.
Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties increased $286,000 or 8.7%, in the 2005 quarter when compared to the 2004 quarter. The advisory fee in the 2005 quarter was $487,000 per month compared to $472,000 per month for the 2004 quarter, an aggregate increase of $45,000. The remainder of the increase, totaling $241,000, was due mainly to higher hotel management fees reflecting the 17.2% increase in hotel revenue.
General and administrative expense increased $230,000 from $426,000 in the 2004 quarter to $656,000 in the 2005 quarter. Higher accounting and legal costs in the 2005 quarter contributed to this increase.
32
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities reflected net earnings of $2.1 million in the 2005 quarter as compared to $1.9 million in the 2004 quarter, an increase of $185,000, or 9.8%. Earnings from Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers were higher by $230,000 in the 2005 quarter primarily due to increases in operating income generated as a result of the acquisition activity of those entities. Losses from other investments totaled $125,000 in the 2005 quarter compared to $80,000 in the 2004 quarter. These losses are a result of a write-down of a non-public investment accounted for under the equity method.
During the 2004 quarter the Real Estate Trust received a refund of approximately $117,000 for an expenditure relating to a September 2003 land sale. The original gain on the sale of this parcel was recorded in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. This refund was recorded as an additional gain on sale of this parcel in the 2004 quarter.
During the 2005 quarter, the Real Estate Trust determined that it would sell two of its hotel properties. Net operating results for these two hotels produced income from operations of discontinued real estate assets of $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and loss from operations of discontinued real estate assets of $68,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The 2004 quarter also included an operating loss of $326,000 for a hotel that was sold in December 2004, which includes a write down of $215,000 to reflect its fair market value. Also included in the 2004 quarter is an operating loss of $40,000 associated with the other real estate property sold in January 2005.
BANKING
Overview. The Bank recorded operating income of $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 (the “2005 quarter”), compared to operating income of $76.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (the “2004 quarter”). The decrease in operating income is attributable to an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in other (non-interest) income which were partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Primarily as a result of higher prepayments, and anticipation that prepayment levels will remain high in the short-term, as a result of the relatively small differential between short- and long-term interest rates, the Bank increased its prepayment speed assumptions and reduced the carrying value of its interest-only strips receivable and servicing assets which are included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income and servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses, respectively.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased $19.9 million (or 26.8%) in the 2005 quarter. The Bank recorded $0.1 million of interest income on non-accrual and restructured loans during the 2005 quarter. The Bank would have recorded additional interest income of $0.1 million during the 2005 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 2005 quarter increased $39.2 million (or 35.8%) from the 2004 quarter primarily as a result of higher average yields on and higher average balances of loans receivable. Contributing to the increased income was an increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities and other investments caused by higher average balances.
The Bank’s net interest spread increased to 2.96% in the 2005 quarter from 2.63% in the 2004 quarter. The 33 basis point increase was primarily the result of a 95 basis point increase in the average yield on loans which was partially offset by a 56 basis point increase in the cost of deposits and borrowings. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 105.9% for the 2005 quarter compared to 104.2% for the 2004 quarter.
Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, increased to $138.6 million for the 2005 quarter from $102.1 million for the 2004 quarter, an increase of 35.7%, primarily because of higher average yields on loans receivable. The average yield on the loan portfolio increased to 4.93% from 3.98% from the 2004 quarter, reflecting increases in the various indices on which interest rates of adjustable rate loans are based. Interest income on residential mortgage loans increased $24.7 million due to a $783.5 million increase in average balances as well as an 89 basis point increase in the average yield (to 4.56% from 3.67%) during the 2005 quarter. Higher average balances of and higher average yields on home equity loans resulted in an $8.5 million (or 53.9%) increase in interest income on those loans. Lower average yields on and lower average balances of automobile loans resulted in a $3.3 million (or 50.6%) decrease in interest income on those loans.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased $0.6 million (or 10.9%) due to a $68.7 million increase in average balances which was partially offset by a decrease in the average yields on those securities to 4.33% from 4.49%.
Interest expense on deposits increased $11.4 million (or 80.4%) during the 2005 quarter. The increase resulted primarily from a 49 basis point increase in the average rate on deposits (to 1.25% from 0.76%) due to increased rates paid by the Bank in response to higher market interest rates and, to a lesser extent, a $683.7 million increase in average deposit balances.
35
Interest expense on borrowings increased $7.9 million (or 37.5%) in the 2005 quarter compared to the 2004 quarter. Interest expense on advances from the FHLB of Atlanta increased $5.8 million (or 32.6%) due primarily to higher average rates paid on the advances and, to a lesser extent, higher average balances.
Provision for Loan Losses. During the 2005 quarter, the Bank recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $4.2 million, compared to a negative provision of $5.6 million in the 2004 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 further the provision for loan losses in the current quarter. See “Financial Condition – Asset Quality – Allowances for Losses.”
Other income. Other income decreased to $93.5 million in the 2005 quarter from $132.0 million in the 2004 quarter. The $38.5 million (or 29.1%) decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income and automobile rental income, offset partially by an increase in other income.
Servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income decreased to $12.3 million in the 2005 quarter, from $48.3 million in the 2004 quarter, a 74.5% decrease. The reduction resulted from a $53.9 million decrease in fair value during the current quarter of interest-only strips receivables. Also in the 2005 quarter, the Bank recognized gains of $44.8 million resulting from the securitization and/or sale of $1.7 billion of loans compared to gains of $49.0 million resulting from the securitization and/or sale of $1.6 billion of loans in the 2004 quarter.
Automobile rental income decreased to $19.1 million in the 2005 quarter from $37.7 million in the prior corresponding quarter, a 49.4% decrease. The $18.6 million decrease resulted primarily from a $316.4 million (or 54.7%) decrease in average outstanding leases as a result of the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of automobile leases.
Other income increased to $27.6 million in the 2005 quarter from $12.6 million in the 2004 quarter, a 118.4% increase. The $15.0 million increase in the 2005 quarter was primarily due to (a) increased fees recorded by the Bank in connection with the prepayment of residential mortgage loans and (b) $6.1 million of earnings on a joint venture investment.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses during the 2005 quarter increased $32.4 million (or 23.9%) from the 2004 quarter. The increase was largely due to increases in servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses, salaries and employee benefits and marketing, which were partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization.
Servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses increased to $35.9 million in the 2005 quarter from $2.3 million in the 2004 quarter. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in servicing assets amortization to $16.1 million and a $16.3 million increase in the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance caused by a decrease in the value of the Bank’s servicing assets during the 2005 quarter compared to servicing assets amortization of $11.3 million and a decrease of $11.5 million in the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance caused by an increase in the value of the Bank’s mortgage servicing assets during the 2004 quarter.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $7.3 million (or 12.3%) in the 2005 quarter due primarily to increased expenses in the retail branch network.
Marketing expenses increased $2.8 million (or 85.3%) in the current quarter primarily due to increased efforts to further promote the Bank’s products and services.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14.5 million (or 37.8%). Depreciation expense related to automobiles subject to lease decreased $15.4 million, to $13.2 million for the 2005 quarter, due to lower levels of outstanding leases resulting from the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of automobile leases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
REAL ESTATE
The Real Estate Trust recorded an operating loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2005 (the “2005 period”) compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $18.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 (the “2004 period”). The changes reflect improved operating results in the hotel portfolio and lower interest and amortization of debt expense offset by a gain associated with a land sale in the 2004 period, increased depreciation, advisory and management fees and general and administrative expenses. Included in the 2004 period were a write-off of unamortized debt costs of $2.4 million and an early redemption premium of $6.5 million associated with the payoff of the Real Estate Trust’s $200 million Senior Secured Notes.
Income after direct operating expenses from hotels, which excludes the two hotel properties that are held for sale, increased $5.8 million, or 24.2%, in the 2005 period from the level achieved in the 2004 period. Total revenue increased approximately $11.7 million, or 18.6%, as the average room rate increased $16.55, or 17.3%, from $95.44 in the 2004 period to $111.99 in the 2005 period, reflecting the strong demand at the Real Estate Trust’s hotel properties, particularly the Northern Virginia and Florida properties while the overall occupancy percentage for the hotel properties increased from 68.8% for the 2004 period to 70.1% for the 2005 period, a 1.9% increase. Room sales for the 2005 period increased $9.8 million, or 19.4%, from the 2004 period, while food, beverage and other sales increased $1.8 million, or 15.5%. Direct operating expenses increased $5.8 million, or 15.2%, reflecting increased operating costs, such as payroll costs, repairs and maintenance, hotel franchise and marketing costs and other operating costs associated with the increased hotel occupancy and revenue.
Income after direct operating expenses from office and industrial properties increased $634,000, or 3.2%, in the 2005 period compared to the 2004 period. Total revenue increased $808,000, or 2.8%, in the 2005 period. Successful leasing efforts during the period and the prior fiscal year have increased the office and industrial overall occupancy percentage from 88.9% at June 30, 2004 to 92.3% at June 30, 2005. The revenue generated from the increased occupancy is slightly offset by lower rental rates as leases turn over. In addition the Real Estate Trust acquired an approximately 12,000 square foot office building on May 25, 2005 which contributed revenue of $57,000 to the 2005 period. Direct operating expenses increased $174,000, or 2.0%, as higher property taxes, repair and maintenance, 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 $305,000, or 32.3%, principally due to higher interest income in the period reflecting the Trust’s increased invested cash balance in the 2005 period and the collection of a prior period bad debt which had been written off in a prior fiscal year.
Land parcels and other expense increased $32,000, or 4.3% in the 2005 period when compared to the 2004 period as a result of increased operating expenses at the Real Estate Trust’s other real estate properties.
Interest and amortization of debt expense decreased $11.8 million in the 2005 period when compared to the 2004 period. Included in the 2004 period were a write-off of unamortized debt costs of $2.4 million and an early redemption premium of $6.5 million associated with the payoff of the Real Estate Trust’s $200 million Senior Secured Notes. Interest expense in the 2005 period includes interest of approximately $14.1 million on the $250 million 7.50% Senior Secured Notes which were issued on February 25, 2004. Interest expense in the 2004 period includes approximately $6.5 million of interest on the $250 million 7.50% Senior Secured Notes, for the period that the Notes were outstanding in the 2004 period, as well as approximately $9.8 million on the redeemed $200 million 9.75% Senior Secured Notes. Other interest expense was lower by approximately $700,000 due to reduced mortgage interest expense, lower mortgage balances, lower line of credit interest expense and lower unsecured note interest. The average balance of outstanding borrowings decreased to $610.6 million in the 2005 period from $644.8 million in the 2004 period, reflecting the payoff of principal of the $200 million Senior Secured Note debt, and lower mortgage and line of credit balances. The average cost of borrowings was 7.84% in the 2005 period and 9.42% in the 2004 period. The decreased average cost of borrowings reflects the $6.5 million early redemption premium in the 2004 period as well as the 225 basis point reduction in the outstanding Senior Secured Note debt.
Depreciation expense increased $1.0 million, or 8.0%, reflecting capital improvements in both the hotel and office and industrial portfolios that have been placed in service during the 2005 period and the prior fiscal year.
Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties increased $796,000 or 8.6%, in the 2005 period when compared to the 2004 period. The advisory fee in the 2005 period was $487,000 per month compared to $472,000 per month for the 2004 period, an aggregate increase of $135,000. The remainder of the increase, totaling $661,000, was due mainly to higher hotel management fees reflecting the 18.6% increase in hotel revenue.
37
General and administrative expense increased $617,000 from $1.7 million in the 2004 period to $2.3 million in the 2005 period. The Real Estate Trust wrote off certain acquisition and development costs for projects that it decided to no longer pursue in the 2005 period. Higher accounting and legal costs in the 2005 period also contributed to this increase.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities reflected net earnings of $5.9 million in the 2005 period as compared to $5.6 million in the 2004 period, an increase of $309,000, or 5.6%. Earnings from Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul Centers were higher by $253,000 in the 2005 period primarily due to increases in operating income generated as a result of the acquisition activity of those entities which offset additional general and administrative costs incurred by the organization. Losses from other investments totaled $404,000 in the 2005 period compared to $460,000 in the 2004 period. These losses are a result of write-downs of a certain non-public investment accounted for under the equity method.
In February 2004 the Commonwealth of Virginia acquired 7.93 acres of land owned by the Real Estate Trust for use in a highway project. The Commonwealth of Virginia has paid $3.6 million which resulted in an initial gain of approximately $2.7 million. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 the Real Estate Trust received a refund of approximately $117,000 for an expenditure relating to a September 2003 land sale. The original gain on the sale of this parcel was recorded in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. This refund was recorded as an additional gain on sale of the land parcel in the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
During the 2005 period, the Real Estate Trust determined that it would sell two of its hotel properties. Included in loss from operations of discontinued real estate assets for 2005 and 2004 are three hotel properties and an other real estate property. One of the hotel properties was sold in December 2004 and the other real estate property was sold in January 2005. Operating losses from the three hotels totaled $1,390,000 and $1,796,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Also included in the 2005 period loss from operations of discontinued real estate assets are $1.6 million of costs associated with the defeasance of the mortgage which the hotel property secured, including a $1.5 million prepayment premium, and an additional loss of $17,000 which reflects the difference between the actual loss on the sale of the hotel property and the estimated loss recorded in fiscal 2004. Included in the 2004 loss from operations of discontinued real estate assets, is a write down of $215,000 associated with the hotel that was sold in million December 2004. Operating income for the other real estate property totaled $911,000 (including gain on disposition of $900,000) and $12,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004.
BANKING
Overview. The Bank recorded operating income of $164.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 (the “2005 period”), compared to operating income of $159.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 (the “2004 period”). The increase in operating income was attributable to an increase in net interest income which was mostly offset by a decrease in other (non-interest) income and an increase in operating expenses.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased $68.0 million (or 34.1%) in the 2005 period. The Bank recorded $0.2 million of interest income on non-accrual and restructured loans during the 2005 period. The Bank would have recorded additional interest income of $0.5 million during the 2005 period 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 2005 period increased $87.6 million (or 27.2%) from the 2004 period primarily as a result of higher average yields on and higher average balances of loans receivable. Contributing to the increased interest income were higher average balances and higher average yields on the Bank’s other interest earning assets.
The Bank’s net interest spread increased to 2.91% in the 2005 period from 2.47% in the 2004 period. The 44 basis point increase was primarily the result of a 57 basis point increase in the yield on loans, which was partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in the cost of deposits and borrowings. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 105.6% for the 2005 period compared to 102.8% for the 2004 period.
Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, increased to $382.1 million for the 2005 period from $299.5 million for the 2004 period, an increase of 27.6%, because of higher average yields on and higher average balances of loans receivable. The average yield on the loan portfolio increased to 4.66% from 4.09% from the 2004 period, reflecting increases in the various indices on which interest rates of adjustable rate loans are based. Interest income on residential mortgage loans increased $60.5 million due to a $944.5 million increase in average balances as well as a 60 basis point increase in the average yield (to 4.31% from 3.71%) during the 2005 period. Also contributing to the increased interest income on loans were higher average balances of and higher average yields on home equity loans, which resulted in a $20.7 million (or 45.2%) increase in interest income on those loans. Lower average yields on and lower average balances of automobile loans resulted in a $12.0 million (or 49.9%) decrease in interest income on those loans.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased slightly primarily due to an increase in the average balance of those securities offset by a decrease in the average interest yields on those securities.
40
Interest expense on deposits increased $22.7 million (or 54.1%) during the 2005 period. The increase resulted primarily from a 32 basis point increase in the average rate on deposits (to 1.09% from 0.77%) due to increased rates paid by the Bank in response to higher market interest rates and, to a lesser extent, a $620.1 million increase in average deposit balances.
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $3.1 million (or 3.9%) in the 2005 period compared to the 2004 period. Interest expense on advances from the FHLB of Atlanta decreased $3.1 million (or 4.7%) due primarily to lower average rates paid on the advances which was partially offset by higher average balances. During fiscal year 2004, the Bank replaced maturing higher cost advances with lower cost advances. The average balances of subordinated debentures decreased by $45.9 million, and the average rate on those borrowings decreased by 86 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 6 7/8% 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 9 1/4% subordinated debentures due 2005 and 2008.
Provision for Loan Losses. During the 2005 period, the Bank recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $8.7 million, compared to a negative provision of $5.2 million in the 2004 period. 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 income decreased to $352.5 million in the 2005 period from $397.9 million in the 2004 period. The $45.4 million (or 11.4%) decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income and automobile rental income, offset partially by an increase in other income.
Servicing, securitization and mortgage banking income decreased to $124.1 million in the 2005 period, from $140.5 million in the 2004 period, an 11.7% decrease. The reduction resulted from an $88.2 million decrease in fair value during the current period of interest-only strips receivables. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in gain on sales of loans. In the 2005 period, the Bank recognized gains of $146.2 million resulting from the securitization and/or sale of $4.9 billion of loans compared to gains of $133.0 million resulting from the securitization and/or sale of $4.6 billion of loans in the 2004 period.
Automobile rental income decreased to $66.6 million in the 2005 period from $125.5 million in the prior corresponding period, a 46.9% decrease. The $58.9 million decrease resulted primarily from a $364.4 million (or 53.0%) decrease in average outstanding leases as a result of the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of automobile leases.
Other income increased to $61.4 million in the 2005 period from $36.4 million in the 2004 period, a 68.7% increase. The $25.0 million increase in the 2005 period was primarily due to (a) increased fees recorded by the Bank in connection with the prepayment of residential mortgage loans and (b) $9.0 million of earnings on a joint venture investment.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses during the 2005 period increased $21.6 million (or 4.9%) from the 2004 period. The increase was largely due to increases in servicing assets amortization and other loan expenses, salaries and employee benefits and marketing, which were partially offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization.
Servicing and amortization and other loan expenses increased to $66.2 million in the 2005 period from $30.1 million in the 2004 period, a 120.0% increase. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in servicing assets amortization to $43.0 million and a $13.3 million increase in the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance caused by a decrease in the value of the Bank’s servicing assets during the 2005 period compared to servicing assets amortization of $33.4 million and a decrease of $11.3 million in the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance caused by an increase in the value of the Bank’s mortgage servicing assets during the 2004 period.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $26.1 million (or 15.3%) in the 2005 period due primarily to increased expenses in the retail branch network.
Marketing expenses increased $5.6 million (or 70.7%) in the current period primarily due to increased efforts to further promote the Bank’s products and services.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $44.7 million (or 35.3%). Depreciation expense related to automobiles subject to lease decreased $47.0 million, to $50.0 million for the 2005 period, due to lower levels of outstanding leases resulting from the Bank’s prior decision to discontinue origination of automobile leases.
