SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN
THIS PROSPECTUS OR IN THE DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED IN THIS PROSPECTUS BY
REFERENCE. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THE SUMMARY AND NOT DEFINED THEREIN HAVE
THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO SUCH TERMS ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
THE TRUST
B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Trust") operates as an
unincorporated common law trust governed by Maryland law. The Trust terminated
its status as a qualified real estate investment trust for federal income tax
purposes in 1978 and is now taxable as a corporation.
The principal business activity of the Trust and its real estate
subsidiaries is the ownership and development of income-producing properties.
The Trust owns 80% of the outstanding common stock of Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.,
formerly Chevy Chase Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Chevy Chase" or the "Bank"), whose
assets accounted for approximately 94% of the Trust's consolidated assets at
September 30, 1995. The Trust is subject to federal regulation as a thrift
holding company by virtue of its ownership of a majority interest in Chevy
Chase.
The Trust has prepared its financial statements and other disclosures on a
fully consolidated basis. The term "Trust" used in the text and the financial
statements included herein refers to the combined entity, which includes B.F.
Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase
and Chevy Chase's subsidiaries. "Real Estate Trust" refers to B.F. Saul Real
Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, excluding Chevy Chase and Chevy
Chase's subsidiaries. The operations conducted by the Real Estate Trust are
designated as "Real Estate," while the business conducted by Chevy Chase and its
subsidiaries is identified by the term "Banking."
The Real Estate Trust's long-term objectives are to increase cash flow from
operations and to maximize capital appreciation of its real estate. The
properties owned by the Real Estate Trust are located predominantly in the Mid-
Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States and consist principally
of office and industrial projects, hotels and undeveloped land parcels.
In August 1993, the Real Estate Trust consummated a series of transactions
in which it transferred its 22 shopping center properties and one of its office
properties and the debt associated with such properties to a newly organized
limited partnership, Saul Holdings Limited Partnership ("Saul Holdings
Partnership"), and one of two newly organized subsidiary limited partnerships of
Saul Holdings Partnership. In exchange for the transferred properties, the Real
Estate Trust received a 21.5% limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings
Partnership. Saul Centers, Inc. ("Saul Centers"), a newly organized, publicly
held real estate investment trust, received a 73.0% general partnership interest
in Saul Holdings Partnership in exchange for the contribution of approximately
$220.7 million to Saul
-5-
<PAGE>
Holdings Partnership. Saul Centers and a wholly-owned subsidiary, which are the
sole general partners of Saul Holdings Partnership and the two subsidiary
limited partnerships, generally have full, exclusive and complete responsibility
and discretion in the management and control of each such partnership.
B. Francis Saul II, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive
Officer of the Trust, serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of Saul Centers. See "Risk Factors and Other Considerations -
Potential Conflicts of Interest Affecting Real Estate Trust."
CHEVY CHASE
Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. ("Chevy Chase" or the "Bank") is a federally
chartered and federally insured stock savings bank which at September 30, 1995
was conducting business from 88 full-service offices and 439 automated teller
machines ("ATMs") in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. The Bank,
which is headquartered in Montgomery County, Maryland, a suburban community of
Washington, D.C., also maintains 18 loan mortgage production offices in
Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, of which 17 are operated by a
wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had
total assets of $4.9 billion, total deposits of $4.2 billion and stockholders'
equity of $328.5 million. Based on total consolidated assets at September 30,
1995, Chevy Chase is the largest bank headquartered in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank's tangible, core, tier 1 risk-based and
total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.77% 5.77%, 6.65% and 11.63%,
respectively. The Bank's capital ratios exceeded the requirements under the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA")
as well as the standards established for "well capitalized" institutions under
the prompt corrective action regulations established pursuant to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). On the basis
of its balance sheet at September 30, 1995, the Bank met the FIRREA-mandated
fully phased-in capital requirements and, on a fully phased-in basis, met the
capital standards established for "well capitalized" institutions under the
prompt corrective action regulations.
Chevy Chase is a consumer-oriented retail bank offering a wide range of
products and services. The Bank has emphasized consumer lending programs that
it believes contribute to market share growth in its local markets by attracting
new depositors, promoting a high degree of customer loyalty and brand awareness
and providing opportunities to cross-market other products of the Bank.
According to industry statistics, the Bank was the second largest thrift issuer
of credit cards, based on total credit card loans outstanding at March 31, 1995.
At September 30, 1995, credit card loans outstanding totaled $1 billion and
managed credit card receivables, including receivables owned by the Bank and
receivables securitized, sold and serviced by the Bank, totaled $4.2 billion.
See "Risk Factors and Other Considerations - Risks of Credit Card Lending by
Chevy Chase." The Bank's portfolio of automobile loans, home improvement loans
and other consumer loans totaled $239.2 million at September 30, 1995.
-6-
<PAGE>
Chevy Chase was the first major Washington, D.C. metropolitan area
financial institution to offer revolving home equity credit line loans, and is a
leading originator of home equity credit lines in its primary market area. The
Bank's home equity credit line loan provides revolving credit secured
principally by a second mortgage on the borrower's home. At September 30, 1995,
the Bank had approximately 17,300 individual credit lines totaling $1 billion in
available credit and $482.8 million in managed home equity credit line
receivables, including receivables owned by the Bank and receivables
securitized, sold and serviced by the Bank.
Retail consumer deposits constitute the Bank's primary source of funds for
its lending and other business operations. Chevy Chase has developed its branch
network in furtherance of its corporate strategy to solidify its relationships
with existing customers, achieve a broader retail base to support future growth
and improve its ability to compete with other depository institutions in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. With 36 of its 88 branches located in
Montgomery County, which has one of the nation's highest per capita incomes, the
Bank has the leading market share of retail deposits in that community. The
Bank's branch network also includes locations in Northern Virginia (23
branches), other Maryland counties (24 branches) and the District of Columbia
(five branches). In addition to locations at deposit branch sites, the Bank's
network of ATMs includes ATMs located in shopping malls, museums, family
entertainment and sports parks, 129 ATMs located in stores operated by Safeway
Inc. and 48 ATMs located in stores operated by Superfresh Food Markets.
Chevy Chase has accessed the capital markets as an additional means of
funding its operations and managing its capital ratios and asset growth. Since
1988, the Bank has securitized approximately $7.3 billion of credit card, home
equity credit line and automobile loan receivables. These transactions depend
on sophisticated back-office systems to service complex securitization
structures and on personnel with the experience to design, install and manage
those systems. At September 30, 1995, the Bank serviced $3.2 billion, $455.8
million and $218.3 million of securitized credit card, home equity credit line
and automobile loan receivables, respectively. Chevy Chase derives fee-based
income from servicing these securitized portfolios.
The deposits of Chevy Chase are insured by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation,
examination and supervision primarily by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the
"OTS").

THE OFFERING
Securities Offered..................... The Trust is offering $80,000,000 in
principal amount of notes of the Trust
with varying interest rates as fixed
from time to time by the Trust (the
"Notes"). At December 15, 1995, $42.6
million in principal amount of Notes was
available to be issued.
Maturity Date.......................... The Notes will mature from one to ten
years from the date of issue, as
selected by the investor.
Interest Payment Dates................. Interest on the Notes will be payable
semi-annually (six months from the date
of issue and each six months thereafter)
and at maturity.
Ranking................................ The Notes will be unsecured obligations
and will rank on a parity with all
unsecured debt of the Real Estate Trust.
At September 30, 1995, the Real Estate
Trust's unsecured debt, consisting of
outstanding unsecured notes (referred to
in this Prospectus as "Outstanding
Notes" and reflected in the Trust's
Consolidated Balance Sheets as Notes
Payable - Unsecured) and accounts
payable and accrued expenses, totaled
$68 million. At such date, there was no
debt of the Real Estate Trust which was
subordinated to the Real Estate Trust's
unsecured debt. At September 30, 1995,
the Real Estate Trust had $360 million
of secured debt, which effectively will
be prior in right of payment to the
Notes. Of such indebtedness, $184.5
million consisted of mortgage notes
payable, $175 million consisted of notes
secured by the Chevy Chase common stock
owned by the Trust and other Trust
assets, and $0.5 million consisted of
borrowings under a secured line of
credit. See "Risk Factors and Other
Considerations - Notes Unsecured General
Obligations of the Trust and
Subordinated to Secured Trust Debt."
-8-
<PAGE>
Redemption............................. The Trust, at its sole election, may
redeem any of the Notes having a Stated
Maturity of more than one year from the
date of issue on any Interest Payment
Date with respect to such Note on or
after the first anniversary of the date
of issue of such Note at a Redemption
Price equal to the Principal Amount of
the Note redeemed. See "Description of
Notes - Redemption of Certain Notes."
Covenants.............................. The Indenture does not impose any
restrictions on the Trust's ability to
pay dividends or other distributions to
its shareholders, to incur debt, or to
issue additional securities. See "Risk
Factors and Other Considerations - No
Limitation in Indenture on Dividends,
Distributions, Issuance of Securities or
Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness."
Claims of Noteholders.................. Prospective Noteholders will not have
any claim on any of the assets of the
Bank and may look only to the Real
Estate Trust's earnings and, subject to
payment of the Real Estate Trust's
secured debt and other prior claims, the
Real Estate Trust's assets for the
payment of interest and principal due
under the Notes.
Use of
Proceeds.............................. The Trust will use the net proceeds of
the offering of the Notes hereunder
primarily to retire maturing Outstanding
Notes (including the Notes offered
hereby). Any proceeds not applied to
pay Outstanding Notes will be used for
other general corporate purposes.

OBLIGATIONS AND SUBORDINATED TO SECURED REAL ESTATE TRUST DEBT," "CONTINGENCIES

<PAGE>
THE TRUST
The Trust operates as an unincorporated common law trust governed by
Maryland law. The principal business activity of the Trust historically has
been the ownership and development of income-producing properties. The Trust is
a savings and loan holding company by virtue of its 80% equity ownership in
Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B., formerly Chevy Chase Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Chevy
Chase" or the "Bank"). At September 30, 1995, Chevy Chase's assets accounted
for approximately 94% of the Trust's consolidated assets.
The Trust has prepared its financial statements and other disclosures on a
fully consolidated basis. The term "Trust" used in the text and the financial
statements included herein refers to the combined entity, which includes B.F.
Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase
and Chevy Chase's subsidiaries. "Real Estate Trust" refers to B.F. Saul Real
Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, excluding Chevy Chase and Chevy
Chase's subsidiaries. The operations conducted by the Real Estate Trust are
designated as "Real Estate," while the business conducted by Chevy Chase and its
subsidiaries is identified by the term "Banking."
The principal offices of the Trust are located at 8401 Connecticut Avenue,
Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, and the Trust's telephone number is (301) 986-6000.
RISK FACTORS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS
AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE TRUST AND THE NOTES BEFORE DECIDING
WHETHER TO INVEST IN THE NOTES.
1. NOTES UNSECURED GENERAL OBLIGATIONS AND SUBORDINATED TO SECURED REAL
ESTATE TRUST DEBT. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Trust.
Prospective Noteholders may look only to the Real Estate Trust's earnings and,
subject to payment of the Real Estate Trust's secured debt and other prior
claims, the Real Estate Trust's assets for payment of principal and interest due
under the Notes. See "Contingencies Affecting Liquidity of the Real Estate
Trust" below and Note 37 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
the Trust's 1995 Annual Report to security holders which accompanies this
Prospectus (the "Annual Report") for condensed financial statement information
on the Trust without consolidation of balance sheet and operating data of the
Bank and the Bank's subsidiaries. Prospective Noteholders will not have any
claim on any of the assets of the Bank for payment under the Notes.
The Notes will rank equal in priority of payment with other unsecured debt
of the Real Estate Trust, including Outstanding Notes. At September 30, 1995,
unsecured debt, consisting of Outstanding Notes and accounts payable and accrued
expenses, totaled $68 million. At such date, there was no debt of the Real
Estate Trust that was subordinated to the Real Estate Trust's unsecured debt.
At September 30, 1995, the Real Estate Trust had $360 million of secured debt,
which effectively will be prior in right of payment to the Notes. Of such
indebtedness, $184.5 million consisted of mortgage notes payable, $175
-10-
<PAGE>
million consisted of notes secured by the Chevy Chase common stock owned by the
Trust and other Trust assets, and $0.5 million consisted of borrowings under a
secured line of credit.
2. CONTINGENCIES AFFECTING LIQUIDITY OF THE REAL ESTATE TRUST. The Real
Estate Trust relies on external sources of funds to repay the principal of
maturing debt, including Outstanding Notes, to pay interest on its Senior
Secured Notes and to make capital improvements. As reflected in Note 37 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report, the Real Estate
Trust had positive cash flow from operating activities of $4.3 million in fiscal
1995 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $10.9 million and $3.1
million in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993, respectively. In the past, the Real
Estate Trust funded debt repayment and capital improvements by new financings
(including the public sale of unsecured notes), refinancings of maturing
mortgage debt, asset sales and tax sharing payments from the Bank pursuant to a
tax sharing agreement among the Trust, the Bank and their subsidiaries (the "Tax
Sharing Agreement"). See Cash Flows from Investing Activities in the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In order to fund these
requirements in fiscal 1996 and future years, the Real Estate Trust will be
required to raise substantial amounts of cash from a combination of such
sources, which are subject to various contingencies, as described below.
The Real Estate Trust's ongoing program of public Note sales was initiated
in the 1970's as a vehicle for supplementing other external funding sources. In
fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust sold $8 million of Notes. The Real Estate
Trust is currently selling Notes principally to pay outstanding Notes as they
mature. See "Use of Proceeds." To the degree that the Real Estate Trust does
not sell new Notes in an amount sufficient to finance completely the scheduled
repayment of outstanding Notes as they mature, it believes it will be able to
finance such repayments from other sources of funds.
The Real Estate Trust's ability to meet its liquidity needs, including debt
service payments, will depend in significant part on its receipt of dividends
from the Bank and tax sharing payments from the Bank pursuant to the Tax Sharing
Agreement. The availability and amount of tax sharing payments and dividends in
future periods is dependent upon, among other things, the Bank's operating
performance and income, regulatory restrictions on such payments and (in the
case of tax sharing payments) the continued consolidation of the Bank and the
Bank's subsidiaries with the Trust for federal income tax purposes.
The Real Estate Trust believes that the improved financial condition and
operating results of the Bank in recent periods should enhance the Real Estate
Trust's prospects for receiving tax sharing payments and dividends from the
Bank, although there can be no assurance as to the timing or amounts of payments
from such sources. At September 30, 1995, $17.7 million in tax sharing payments
were due to the Real Estate Trust, of which $10 million was paid in November
1995 with the approval of the OTS. The Real Estate Trust to date has not
received any cash dividends from the Bank. OTS regulations tie the Bank's
ability to pay dividends to specific levels of regulatory capital and earnings.
3. REAL ESTATE TRUST OPERATING LOSSES AND TRUST DEFICIT IN SHAREHOLDERS'
EQUITY. The operations of the Real Estate Trust, before the consolidation of
Chevy Chase's results, reflect a loss from continuing operations before gain on
sale of properties in each of the Real
-11-
<PAGE>
Estate Trust's last ten fiscal years. As reflected in Note 37 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, which presents condensed
financial statement information on the Trust without consolidation of balance
sheet and operating data of the Bank and the Bank's subsidiaries, the operating
loss of the Trust in recent periods would have been significantly higher without
the consolidation of the Bank's results.
The Real Estate Trust, like most real estate investors, employs significant
amounts of debt to finance its investments and operations. At September 30,
1995, its total debt, excluding debt of Chevy Chase, was $428 million. The
Trust's consolidated shareholders' equity at September 30, 1995 reflected a
deficit of $68.2 million.
4. FIXED CHARGES IN EXCESS OF AVAILABLE EARNINGS. The Real Estate Trust's
ratios of available earnings to fixed charges were less than 1:1 in each of the
last three fiscal years. These ratios represent a measure of the ability to
meet debt service obligations from funds generated by operations. For purposes
of computing the fixed-charges ratios, "available earnings" consist of income
(loss) from continuing operations plus (i) provisions for income taxes, (ii)
ground rent expense and (iii) interest and debt expense reduced by interest
capitalized. This sum is divided by the total of interest and debt expense and
ground rent expense to arrive at the ratio of available earnings to fixed
charges. For the Real Estate Trust, fixed charges exceeded available earnings
by $ 27.3 million in fiscal 1995, $34.3 million in fiscal 1994 and $44.5 million
in fiscal 1993.
5. HIGH LEVEL OF CHEVY CHASE NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. Although Chevy Chase's
non-performing real estate assets continued to decrease in fiscal 1995 from
their peak in February 1992, Chevy Chase's level of non-performing assets at
September 30, 1995, after $135 million of valuation allowances on real estate
held for sale ("REO"), totaled $247.2 million (or 5% of total assets). In
addition, the Bank maintained $2.3 million of valuation allowances on its non-
accrual loans. The substantial majority of the Bank's current non-performing
real estate assets (consisting of REO and non-accrual loans) became non-
performing in fiscal 1990 and fiscal 1991 primarily because of the deterioration
of the real estate markets in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Non-
performing credit card loans as a percentage of total credit card loans also
increased beginning in fiscal 1990 primarily as a result of adverse economic
conditions in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and other areas in which
there is a significant concentration of holders of Chevy Chase credit cards.
6. RISKS RELATING TO RESERVE LEVELS AND REO OF CHEVY CHASE. At September
30, 1995, the ratio of the Bank's reserves to non-performing assets was 51.2%.
The Bank reviews on a quarterly basis the carrying value of its REO in order to
make any adjustments required to present such assets at fair value. Although
the Bank believes it has a reasonable basis for estimating reserves, no
assurance can be given that the Bank will not sustain losses in any particular
period that exceed the amount of the reserves at the beginning of that period,
or that subsequent evaluations of the asset portfolio, in light of factors then
prevailing (including economic conditions, the Bank's internal review process
and the results of regulatory examinations), will not require significant
increases in the reserves.
At September 30, 1995, approximately $162 million (or 73.9%), after all
valuation allowances, of the Bank's aggregate book value of REO was attributable
to its five planned
-12-
<PAGE>
unit developments (the "Communities"), four of which are under active
development. Under its written agreement with the OTS, the Bank is required to
make every effort to reduce its exposure on certain of its real estate
development properties, including the four active Communities. In November
1995, the Bank sold its remaining residential lots (approximately 2,000 lots) in
two of the Communities at an amount that approximated their net carrying value
after utilization of applicable valuation allowances. The impact of the
transaction was to reduce REO, net of all valuation allowances, by $49.2
million. The Bank obtains updated appraisals on its REO from time to time and,
in the past, has been directed to do so by the OTS in connection with regulatory
examinations. As a result of such updated appraisals, the Bank could be
required to increase its reserves.
7. RISKS OF CREDIT CARD LENDING BY CHEVY CHASE. At September 30, 1995,
Chevy Chase's credit card loans constituted 34.4% of the Bank's loan portfolio.
Credit card loans entail greater credit risks than residential mortgage loans.
Changes in credit card use and payment patterns by cardholders, including
increased defaults, may result from a variety of social, legal and economic
factors. Economic factors affecting credit card use include the rate of
inflation and relative interest rates offered for various types of loans.
Adverse changes in economic conditions could have a direct impact on the timing
and amount of payments by borrowers. Default rates on credit card loans
generally may be expected to exceed default rates on residential mortgage loans.
Certain jurisdictions and their residents may attempt to require out-of-
state credit card issuers such as the Bank to comply with the consumer
protection laws of those jurisdictions (including laws limiting the charges
imposed by such credit card issuers) in connection with their operations in such
jurisdictions. For example, in recent years a number of lawsuits and
administrative actions have been filed in several states against out-of-state
credit card issuers (including both federally chartered and state chartered
insured depository institutions) challenging various fees and charges (such as
late fees, over-the-limit fees, returned check fees and annual membership fees)
assessed against residents of the states in which such lawsuits were filed,
based on restrictions or prohibitions under the laws of such states. Several
state and federal courts that have considered this issue have ruled in favor of
the issuing institutions; however, courts in some states, including Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, have determined that certain laws of those states that prohibit
certain fees and charges are applicable to out-of-state credit card issuers. If
it were determined that out-of-state credit card issuers must comply with a
jurisdiction's laws limiting the charges imposed by credit card issuers, such an
action could have an adverse impact on the Bank's credit card operations.
8. REGULATORY CAPITAL LEVELS OF CHEVY CHASE. At September 30, 1995, the
Bank's tangible, core, tier 1, risk-based and total risk-based regulatory
capital ratios were 5.77%, 5.77%, 6.65% and 11.63%, respectively. The Bank's
capital ratios exceeded the requirements under FIRREA as well as the standards
established for "well capitalized" institutions under the prompt corrective
action regulations established pursuant to FDICIA. On the basis of its balance
sheet at September 30, 1995, the Bank met the FIRREA-mandated fully phased-in
capital requirements and, on a fully phased-in basis, met the capital standards
established for "well capitalized" institutions under the prompt corrective
action regulations. The OTS has the discretion under the prompt corrective
action regulations to reclassify an
-13-
<PAGE>
institution from one category to the next lower category, for example, for "well
capitalized" to "adequately capitalized," if, after notice and an opportunity
for a hearing, the OTS determines that the institution is in an unsafe or
unsound condition, or has received and has not corrected a less than
satisfactory examination rating for asset quality, management, earnings or
liquidity.
Chevy Chase's levels of non-performing assets may result in reductions in
capital to the extent losses are recognized as a result of deteriorating
collateral values or general economic conditions. OTS capital regulations
provide a five-year holding period (or such longer period 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. Accordingly, if the Bank is unable
to dispose of any REO property (through bulk sales or otherwise) prior to the
end of its applicable five-year holding period and is unable to obtain an
extension of such five-year holding period from the OTS, the Bank could be
required to deduct the then-current book value of the REO from risk-based
capital. In September 1995, the Bank received from the OTS an extension through
September 29, 1996 of the five-year holding period for certain of its REO
properties acquired through foreclosure in fiscal 1990 and fiscal 1991. There
can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to dispose of all of its REO
properties within the applicable five-year period or obtain any necessary
further extensions.
The Bank's ability to maintain or increase its capital levels in future
periods will be subject to general economic conditions, particularly in the
Bank's local markets. Adverse general economic conditions or a renewed downturn
in local real estate markets could require further additions to the Bank's
allowances for losses and further charge-offs. Any such developments would
adversely affect the Bank's earnings and thus its regulatory capital levels. In
addition, as discussed below under "Risks of Pending Legislation," legislation
is expected to be enacted which would require the Bank to pay as early as
January 1, 1996 a one-time assessment of up to 85 basis points on its SAIF-
insured deposits and thereby reduce the Bank's regulatory capital levels.
As a result of the foregoing factors, although the Bank's regulatory
capital ratios on a fully phased-in basis at September 30, 1995 would meet the
ratios established for "well capitalized" institutions, there can be no
assurance that the Bank will be able to maintain levels of capital sufficient to
continue to meet the standards for classification as "well capitalized" under
the prompt corrective action standards.
9. RISKS OF PENDING LEGISLATION. Legislation pending in the U.S.
Congress, if enacted into law in the form proposed, could affect the Bank's
earnings and regulatory capital levels. As of the date of this Prospectus, it
cannot be determined whether, or in what form, such legislation will be enacted.
BALANCED BUDGET ACT OF 1995. In November 1995, Congress passed and
presented to President Clinton the Balanced Budget Act of 1995 (the "Budget
Act"), which would, among other things, capitalize the SAIF and either reduce or
eliminate the disparity between the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") and SAIF
insurance rates. Under the Budget Act, (i) thrift institutions would pay a one-
time assessment estimated to be up to 85 basis points on their SAIF-insured
deposits, as measured on March 31, 1995, to increase the SAIF's reserve ratio
-14-
<PAGE>
to 1.25% and (ii) effective January 1, 1996, the assessment base for interest on
Financing Corporation bonds, which were issued in the late 1980's to resolve
troubled thrifts, would be expanded to cover all FDIC-insured institutions,
including members of both BIF and SAIF. If the legislation is enacted in its
current form, the Bank would be required to pay a one-time assessment of up to
$35 million in the first quarter of calendar year 1996; however, the Bank's
semi-annual risk-based deposit insurance premiums should be reduced in future
years.
The Budget Act also would repeal the thrift bad debt reserve provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, although the Budget Act does not
require savings associations to convert to bank charters, it does provide for a
merger of the BIF and the SAIF on January 1, 1998, if no insured depository
institution remains chartered as a savings association on that date.
On December 6, 1995, President Clinton vetoed the Budget Act for reasons
that are unrelated to the above-described provisions.
THRIFT CHARTER LEGISLATION. In September 1995, the Financial Institutions
Subcommittee of the House Banking Committee approved the Thrift Charter
Conversion Act of 1995 (the "Conversion Act"). The Conversion Act would, among
other things, eliminate the federal thrift charter by requiring all federally
chartered thrifts, including the Bank, to convert to national bank, state bank
or state thrift charters by January 1, 1998. Any institution with a federal
thrift charter on January 1, 1998, would be converted to a national bank by
operation of law. Effective January 1, 1998, the Conversion Act also would,
among other things (i) abolish the OTS and transfer its functions to other
agencies, (ii) repeal the Home Owners Loan Act, the federal statute governing
the operations of thrift institutions and their holding companies, and (iii)
merge the SAIF and BIF.
Following conversion, a federal thrift generally would be required to
conform its activities to those permissible under its new charter. However,
existing non-conforming activities could be continued for up to four years (two
years, with two possible one-year extensions) from the date that the thrift
converts to a new charter. Accordingly, if the Conversion Act were enacted in
its current form and Chevy Chase were to become a national bank, the Bank could
be required, within as little as two years after its conversion date, to
restrict its sales of non-credit-related insurance and to divest itself of
certain limited real estate investments.
The Conversion Act would permanently grandfather the existing interstate
branches of converted thrifts, but the converted thrift could establish
additional interstate branches only in conformity with federal and state law
applicable to national and state banks without regard to any grandfathered
interstate branches. Because Maryland and Virginia have enacted interstate
banking laws, the principal impact on the Bank of this provision of the
Conversion Act would be to eliminate the flexibility the Bank now has under
federal law to open interstate branches in any state, regardless of state law.
Conversion of the Bank to a commercial bank charter also would change (i) the
primary federal regulator of the Bank and (ii) certain of the regulatory capital
and accounting policies and rules applicable to the Bank. Application of
different capital and accounting policies and rules without an appropriate
transition period could have an adverse effect on the Bank's earnings and
regulatory capital ratios.
-15-
<PAGE>
Upon the Bank's conversion to a commercial bank, the Bank's four registered
savings and loan holding companies, including the Trust, would become bank
holding companies regulated at the holding company level by the Federal Reserve
Board (the "FRB"). Current rules and regulations of the FRB subject bank
holding companies to capital requirements and activities restrictions that are
not currently generally applicable to savings and loan holding companies under
OTS regulations. The Conversion Act would permit holding companies of converted
thrifts that meet certain requirements ("Qualified Bank Holding Companies" or
"QBHCs") to continue to engage in nonconforming activities so long as their
subsidiary converted thrift continued to satisfy the qualified thrift lender
test and continued to comply with all limitations and restrictions on the types
and amounts of loans and investments (such as the 10% of assets limitation on
commercial loans) that were applicable to such institutions on the Conversion
Act's enactment date. However, QBHC status would be lost if (i) the QBHC
underwent a change in control, or were the subject of any merger or
consolidation with a company not under common control with the QBHC or
(ii) either the QBHC or its subsidiary converted thrift acquired more than 5% of
the shares or assets of any insured depository institution. Under the
Conversion Act, QBHCs generally would not be subject to the FRB's bank holding
company capital requirements.
In November 1995, legislation identical to the Conversion Act was
introduced in the Senate, and the Senate Banking Committee has announced plans
to hold hearings on the bill and to approve its version of a bill by April 1996.
10. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO CHEVY CHASE. The Bank is
currently subject to various restrictions and requirements contained in a
written agreement with the OTS which became effective in September 1991. The
areas addressed by the agreement, as amended in October 1993, include
transactions with affiliates, reduction of existing levels of REO and asset
quality. Among other things, the Bank has agreed that it will not increase its
investment in certain of its real estate development properties, including the
four active Communities, beyond specified levels without OTS approval, will make
very effort to reduce its exposure in those properties and will notify the OTS
15 days before rejecting any written purchase offers for those properties. In
addition, Chevy Chase has agreed to provide the OTS with 15 days notice before
selling significant business assets.
The Bank remains subject to growth restrictions, higher FDIC insurance
premiums and a requirement to obtain OTS approval for changes in directors and
senior executive officers. The Bank has received limited waivers of the growth
restrictions from the OTS.
The OTS prompt corrective action regulations require appointment of an
conservator or receiver for "critically undercapitalized" institutions. An
institution will be considered critically undercapitalized if its ratio of
"tangible equity" (generally defined by the OTS as core capital plus cumulative
perpetual preferred stock) to total assets is 2.0% or below. At September 30,
1995, Chevy Chase's tangible equity ratio was 5.77%.
The failure of the Bank to maintain capital compliance could result in
regulatory sanctions.
11. CAPITAL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BY THE TRUST. The Trust has entered
into an agreement with OTS's predecessor agency to maintain Chevy Chase's
regulatory capital at
-16-
<PAGE>
the level prescribed by applicable regulatory requirements and, if necessary, to
infuse additional capital to enable Chevy Chase to meet those requirements. If
the Bank is unable to meet its capital requirements in the future, the OTS could
seek to enforce the Trust's obligations under the agreement. To the extent
additional capital infusions may be required pursuant to the Trust's capital
maintenance agreement, the funds available to repay Notes would be reduced.
12. POTENTIAL EFFECT OF TAX SHARING REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATION ON TRUST
LIQUIDITY. If Chevy Chase has net operating losses in the current year or in
any future year, the Trust could be obligated under the Tax Sharing Agreement to
make certain payments to Chevy Chase.
If in any year Chevy Chase has net operating losses and the Trust group
uses such losses to offset taxable income of the Trust (or other members of the
Trust group), the Trust (or other members of the Trust group) would be required
to make tax sharing payments to Chevy Chase. The sum of any such payments and
any payments actually made to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") would not
exceed the amount otherwise required to be paid to the IRS if the Trust group
had not been able to use the Chevy Chase net operating losses.
In addition, to the extent that in any year Chevy Chase has net operating
losses that are not used in that year to offset taxable income of the Trust (or
other members of the Trust group), Chevy Chase would carry back such losses,
obtaining a refund of taxes it paid to the IRS or a reimbursement of tax sharing
payments it made to the Trust, or both, depending on the amount of the losses
and the taxable year in which they occur. At September 30, 1995, the maximum
amount the Trust could be required to reimburse Chevy Chase in the event of a
carryback of Chevy Chase losses, based on tax sharing payments received through
that date, was $35.1 million. Any such payments made by the Trust to Chevy
Chase could have a material adverse effect on the Trust's liquidity and, in any
event, would reduce funds available to repay the Notes.
13. NO LIMITATION IN INDENTURE ON DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, ISSUANCE OF
SECURITIES OR INCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS. The indenture pursuant to
which the Notes will be issued (the "Indenture") does not include certain
covenants which are customary in negotiated indentures governing the issuance of
public debt securities similar to the Notes and which are intended to protect
the rights of security holders. The Indenture does not impose any restrictions
on the Trust with respect to the payment of dividends or distributions on its
capital stock or the issuance of additional securities, nor does the Indenture
limit the incurrence by the Trust of additional indebtedness. The Trust's
ability to pay dividends, issue additional securities and incur additional debt,
however, is currently subject to restrictions under various other loan
agreements to which the Trust is a party, including the indenture pursuant to
which the Trust has issued its 11-5/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2002.
14. TRUST OPTION TO REDEEM NOTES. The Trust, at its sole option, may call
for the redemption, at face value, of any Note with a Stated Maturity of more
than one year from the date of issue on any Interest Payment Date on or after
the first anniversary of its date of
-17-
<PAGE>
issue. See "Description of Notes - Redemption of Certain Notes." Such early
redemptions, if made, would reduce the funds available to pay Notes maturing
thereafter.
15. RISKS TO REAL ESTATE TRUST OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT.
Most of the operating expenses and virtually all of the debt service payments
associated with income-producing properties are fixed; they are not decreased by
reductions in occupancy or rental income. Operating expenses are also subject
to inflationary increases. Therefore, the ability of the Real Estate Trust to
meet its fixed obligations with cash flow from its income-producing properties
is highly dependent on its ability to maintain or increase their levels of
rental income and hotel sales revenues.
Rental income is subject to a number of risks, including adverse changes in
national or local economic conditions and other factors which might impair the
ability of existing tenants to maintain their rental payments and which might
reduce the potential demand by prospective new tenants for vacant space. Any of
the Real Estate Trust's commercial properties and hotels also could be adversely
affected by governmental actions such as increases in real estate tax rates.
Hotel revenues are subject to rapid declines if customer demand should be
impaired for any reason, since advance bookings represent only a limited portion
of overall revenues and are subject to cancellation.
Real estate investments tend to be relatively illiquid; they cannot be
converted quickly and readily to cash, although, under normal market conditions,
they can be so converted on an orderly basis over a period of time. This lack
of liquidity tends to limit the ability of the Real Estate Trust to vary its
portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic, demographic, social,
financial and investment conditions.
Real estate development and ownership in certain areas of the country is
currently suffering from overbuilding or adverse local economic conditions, or
both. In recent periods, the Real Estate Trust's office building leasing rates
have experienced a decline due to recessionary economic conditions in the
metropolitan areas in which the office properties are located.
16. POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AFFECTING REAL ESTATE TRUST.
B. Francis Saul II, Chairman of the Trust, and his affiliates own 100% of the
Trust's common shares of beneficial interest and thus control the Trust.
Mr. Saul also controls B. F. Saul Company (the "Saul Company"), which in turn
controls B. F. Saul Advisory Company (the "Advisor") and Franklin Property
Company ("Franklin"). The Advisor acts as the Real Estate Trust's investment
advisor and carries on the day-to-day general management, financial, accounting,
legal and administrative affairs of the Real Estate Trust. Franklin acts as
leasing and management agent for most of the income-producing properties owned
by the Real Estate Trust and plans and oversees the development of other new
properties and the expansion and renovation of existing properties. The
compensation received by the Advisor and Franklin is determined by the Trustees,
including the independent trustees, who have no current affiliation with the
Saul Company or its subsidiaries. Since only two of the Trust's five trustees
are considered independent, the independent trustees represent a minority of the
Board of Trustees. There is no requirement in the Trust's Declaration of Trust
or in the Indenture, or elsewhere, that the Trust have a certain number or
percentage of independent Trustees.
-18-
<PAGE>
The Saul Company, its affiliated companies, their officers and directors,
and two of the trustees of the Trust actively engage in various activities
relating to the general business of real estate development and finance. The
Saul Company and related companies have many clients other than the Real Estate
Trust with investment interests in real estate and are engaged in such
activities on their own behalf and as agents for and advisors to others. No
provision in the Declaration of Trust or the advisory contract with the Advisor
(the "Advisory Contract") prohibits the Advisor, Franklin, the Saul Company,
their affiliates, any officer, director or employee of such companies, or any
Trustee of the Trust from performing investment advisory services for parties
other than the Real Estate Trust, engaging in activities similar to or
competitive with the investment operations of the Real Estate Trust, or making
real estate investments that might be suitable or desirable for the Real Estate
Trust. The Advisory Contract provides that the Real Estate Trust has priority
with respect to any investment made by the Saul Company, the Advisor and their
directors and officers, for their account or for the account of any enterprise
(other than a savings and loan institution) in which they have a beneficial
interest aggregating 40% or more. There are no procedural safeguards to ensure
this priority, although the entities normally do not compete for the same type
of investments and thus conflicts generally have not arisen. Relevant personnel
have been advised concerning the conflict provision in the Advisory Contract and
have been instructed to comply with such provisions.
Potential conflicts of interest may arise from Mr. Saul's role as Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Saul Centers, the general partner of
Saul Holdings Partnership. See "Summary - The Trust." The Trust has entered
into an Exclusivity Agreement (the "Exclusivity Agreement") with, and has
granted a right of first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") to, Saul
Centers, Saul Holdings Partnership and its two subsidiary limited partnerships
(collectively, the "Company"). The purpose of these agreements is to minimize
potential conflicts of interest between the Real Estate Trust and the Company.
The Exclusivity Agreement and Right of First Refusal generally require the Real
Estate Trust to conduct its shopping center business exclusively through the
Company and to grant the Company a right of first refusal to purchase commercial
properties and development sites that become available to the Real Estate Trust
in the District of Columbia or adjacent suburban Maryland. Subject to the
Exclusivity Agreement and Right of First Refusal, the Real Estate Trust may
continue to develop, acquire, own and manage commercial properties and own land
suitable for development as, among other things, shopping centers and other
commercial properties.
17. LACK OF INVESTMENT AND BORROWING LIMITATIONS IN DECLARATION OF TRUST.
With certain exceptions, the Trust's Declaration of Trust does not specify the
proportion of the Trust's assets which may or shall be committed to each of the
several types of investments which the Trust may make. The Trustees may change
the mix of the Trust's investment portfolio at any time or make investments of a
type not currently made by the Trust, provided that such investments are not
prohibited by the Declaration of Trust or by any indenture, loan agreement or
other instrument to which the Trust is a party. The Declaration of Trust does
not place any limitations on the amount of funds which the Trust may borrow or
on the types of short-term or long-term debt securities which it may issue,
including additional Notes or indebtedness senior to the Notes.
-19-
<PAGE>
18. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS, TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS OF THE
TRUST. The name "B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust" is the designation of
the Trust under its Declaration of Trust currently in effect. In accordance
with the Declaration of Trust, all persons dealing with the Trust must look
solely to the Trust's property for the enforcement of any claims against the
Trust, since none of the Trustees, officers, agents or shareholders of the Trust
assumes any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of the
Trust. Further, as required by the Declaration of Trust, the Indenture provides
that covenants and obligations for the benefit of Noteholders contained in the
Indenture bind only the property of the Trust and are not binding upon, and
cannot be enforced against, the shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees or
agents of the Trust or their private property. In the event of a default by the
Trust under a Note, a Noteholder may have a more limited right of action than
such Noteholder would have absent such provisions in the Declaration of Trust
and Indenture.
19. ABSENCE OF BROKER OR DEALER. The Trust has not used and does not
intend to use an underwriter or selling agent in connection with the offering
and sale of the Notes. Purchasers, therefore, will not have the benefit of the
independent review of the Trust, the terms of the Notes, and the accuracy and
completeness of the information contained in the Prospectus that might be
provided by an underwriter or other selling agent involved in an offering of the
Notes. Also, because the offering of Notes will be conducted exclusively by
officers of the Trust who are not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as brokers or dealers, such officers will not be in a position to
determine the suitability of the Notes for investors. EACH INVESTOR SHOULD
DETERMINE INDEPENDENTLY OR SEEK INDEPENDENT INVESTMENT ADVICE AS TO WHETHER THE
NOTES REPRESENT A SUITABLE INVESTMENT FOR SUCH INVESTOR.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Trust will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes offered
hereby primarily to retire maturing Outstanding Notes (including the Notes
offered hereby). At December 15, 1995, $4.3 million and $5.6 million principal
amount of Outstanding Notes were scheduled to mature in fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1997, respectively. The interest rates on Outstanding Notes scheduled to mature
during this period vary from 5% to 15% per annum. Any proceeds not applied to
pay Outstanding Notes will be used for other general corporate purposes. This
offering is not contingent on the sale of any minimum amount of Notes.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Notes will not be distributed through underwriters, brokers or dealers.
The Notes will be sold only by the Trust acting through one or more of its duly
authorized officers. Such officers are salaried employees of the Saul Company,
the parent of the Advisor, and do not receive any compensation in connection
with their participation in the offering and sale of the Notes in the form of
commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on sales
of the Notes. Although the Trust does not compensate the officers who
participate in the offering and sale of the Notes, the Trust does pay the
Advisor a fee of 1% of the principal amount of the Notes as they are issued to
offset its costs of
-20-
<PAGE>
administering the Note program. Notes will be available for sale only at the
Trust's office in Bethesda, Maryland. See "How to Purchase Notes."
The offering of the Notes by this Prospectus will terminate when all of the
Notes have been sold. See "Description of Notes - General." The Trust may
terminate the offering of the Notes at any time without notice.
HOW TO PURCHASE NOTES
Notes may be purchased in person at the sales office of the Trust, 7200
Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 903, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, or by mail by completing
the applicable Note Order Form, which may be found at the end of this
Prospectus, and mailing the form and a check payable to the Trust in the
enclosed envelope. In either case, the Note, in registered form, will be mailed
directly to the purchaser by The Riggs National Bank of Washington, D.C., the
Indenture Trustee for the Notes. For further information on how to purchase
Notes, please telephone (301) 986-6207.
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The Notes will be issued under an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1992
(the "Indenture") between the Trust and The Riggs National Bank of Washington,
D.C. (the "Indenture Trustee"). Included below is a summary of the material
terms of the Notes and the material provisions of the Indenture. The summary
does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to the provisions
of, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the cited Sections
and Articles of, and definitions contained in, the Indenture, a copy of which
has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
of which this Prospectus forms a part, and which is available as described under
Available Information.
GENERAL
The Notes are limited to the aggregate principal amount of $80 million
initially offered hereby (Section 3.01). At December 15, 1995, $42.6 million in
principal amount of Notes was available to be issued under the Indenture. The
Trust from time to time may enter into one or more supplemental indentures
providing for the issuance of additional notes without the consent of the
holders of outstanding Notes (Section 9.01).
The Notes will be issued in denominations of $5,000 or any amount in excess
thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000. They will be issued in
registered form only, without coupons, to mature one to ten years from the date
of issue, as selected by the investor. The Notes will be unsecured general
obligations of the Trust and will be identical except for interest rate, issue
date and maturity date (Section 3.02). Except as described below under
"Redemption of Certain Notes," the Notes will not contain any provisions for
conversion, redemption, amortization, sinking fund or retirement prior to
maturity.
THE NOTES ARE NOT GUARANTEED OR INSURED AND ARE NOT SECURED BY ANY
MORTGAGE, PLEDGE OR LIEN. The Notes will rank on a parity in right of payment
with all unsecured debt of the Real Estate Trust. At September 30, 1995, the
Real Estate Trust's unsecured debt
-21-

(consisting of Notes and accounts payable and accrued expenses) totaled $68
million. As of such date, there was no debt of the Real Estate Trust which is
subordinated to the Real Estate Trust's unsecured debt.
Each Note will bear interest from the date of issue to the date of maturity
at the annual rate stated on the face thereof. Such interest will be payable
semi-annually, six months from the date of issue and each six months thereafter,
and at maturity, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the
close of business on the 20th day preceding such Interest Payment Dates.
Interest rates applicable to Notes will be subject to change by the Trust from
time to time, but no such change will affect any Notes issued prior to the
effective date of such change (Section 3.01). Based on the amount of a proposed
investment in Notes or the aggregate principal amount of the Trust's outstanding
unsecured notes held by a prospective investor, the Trust may offer to pay
interest on a Note of any maturity at an annual rate of up to 2% in excess of
the interest rate shown on the cover page of this Prospectus for a Note of such
maturity.
At maturity of any Note, principal will be payable upon surrender of such
Note without endorsement at The Riggs National Bank of Washington, D.C.,
Corporate Trust Division, 808 17th Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006.
Interest payments will be made by the Trust by check mailed to the person
entitled thereto (Sections 3.01 and 10.02). NOTES MUST BE PRESENTED AT THE
ABOVE OFFICE OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE
AND FOR PAYMENT AT MATURITY. No service charge will be imposed for any transfer
or exchange of Notes, but the Trust may require payment to cover taxes or other
governmental charges that may be assessed in connection with any such transfer
or exchange (Section 3.05).
THE INDENTURE DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRUST'S ABILITY TO
PAY DIVIDENDS OR OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS, TO INCUR DEBT OR TO
ISSUE ADDITIONAL SECURITIES. SEE "RISK FACTORS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS - NO
LIMITATION IN INDENTURE ON DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES OR
INCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS."
There is no established trading market for the Notes, and the Trust does
not anticipate that an active trading market will be established.
REDEMPTION OF CERTAIN NOTES
The Trust may, at its sole election, redeem any of the Notes having a
Stated Maturity of more than one year from date of issue on any Interest Payment
Date with respect to such Note on or after the first anniversary of the date of
issue of such Note at a Redemption Price (exclusive of the installment of
interest due on the Redemption Date, payment of which shall have been made or
duly provided for to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date) equal to
the Principal Amount of the Note so redeemed. (Section 11.01). Notes called for
redemption will not bear interest after the Redemption Date. (Section 11.07).
If fewer than all of the Notes having a Stated Maturity of more than one
year and the same Interest Payment Date as the Redemption Date are to be
redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected by such method as
the Trust shall deem appropriate and may include redemption of Notes with higher
interest rates first (Section 11.04).

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND NOTICE THEREOF
The Indenture provides that an "Event of Default" with respect to the Notes
will result upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note when it
becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a
period of 30 days;
(ii) default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any, on) any Note at its Maturity;
(iii) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
warranty of the Trust in the Indenture (other than a covenant
or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is
elsewhere in the Indenture specifically dealt with), and
continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days
after there has been given, by registered or certified mail,
to the Trust by the Indenture Trustee or to the Trust and the
Indenture Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in principal
amount of the Notes Outstanding, a written notice specifying
such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the
Indenture;
(iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency affecting the
Trust; or
(v) B. F. Saul Advisory Company ceases to be the investment
advisor to the Trust without being immediately replaced by
another entity the majority voting interest of which is owned
by the Saul Company or B. Francis Saul II (Section 5.01).
Within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, the Indenture Trustee is
required to give the Noteholders notice of all defaults known to it; provided
that, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee will be
protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Noteholders (Section 6.02).
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding may
declare the principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a
notice in writing to the Trust (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by
Noteholders), and upon any such declaration such principal will become
immediately due and payable (Section 5.02). At any time after such a
declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding, by written notice to
the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and
its consequences if (i) the Trust has paid or deposited with the Indenture
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue installments of interest on all Notes,
-23-
<PAGE>
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which
have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by
the Notes, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under
the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes
which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or have been
waived as provided in the Indenture (Section 5.02).
The Indenture provides that if (i) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, the
Trust will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes
for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest upon the overdue
principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest
is legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne
by the Notes. (Section 5.03).
In the case of an Event of Default which is not cured or waived, the
Indenture Trustee will be required to exercise such of its rights and powers
under the Indenture, and to use the degree of care and skill in their exercise,
that a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs, but it otherwise need only perform such duties as are
specifically set forth in the Indenture (Section 6.01). Subject to such
provisions, the Indenture Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of
its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any of the
Noteholders unless they offer to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity (Section 6.03).
MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE
The Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Trust and the rights of
the Noteholders may be modified by the Trust and the Indenture Trustee without
the consent of the Noteholders (i) to evidence the succession of a corporation
or other entity to the Trust, and the assumption by any such successor of the
covenants of the Trust in the Indenture and the Notes, (ii) to add to the
covenants of the Trust, for the benefit of the Noteholders, or to surrender any
right or power conferred in the Indenture upon the Trust, (iii) to cure any
ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision of the Indenture which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provisions, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture
which are not inconsistent with the Indenture, provided such action does not
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, (iv) to create, from time to
time, notes in addition to the Notes initially issuable under the Indenture and
any supplemental indenture thereto, which subsequently created notes are
identical to the Notes initially issuable under the Indenture and any
supplemental indenture
-24-
<PAGE>
thereto, except for interest rate, issue date and maturity date, or (v) to
modify, amend or supplement the Indenture to effect the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and to add to the Indenture
specified provisions permitted by such Act (Section 9.1).
With certain exceptions, the Indenture, the rights and obligations of the
Trust and the rights of the Noteholders may be modified in any manner by the
Trust with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes Outstanding; but no such modification may be made
without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby which would (i) change
the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note or
reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest thereon, or impair the right
of such Noteholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after the maturity thereof, or (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount
of the Notes Outstanding, the consent of whose holders is required for any
modification of the Indenture, or the consent of whose holders is required for
any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain
defaults thereunder and the consequences thereof provided for in the Indenture
(Section 9.02).c5

annually to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an
officers' certificate stating whether the Trust is in default in the performance
and observance of any of the conditions or covenants of the Indenture, and if
the Trust is in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status
thereof (Section 10.06).
REPORTS TO NOTEHOLDERS

quarterly and annual reports which it files with the Commission as may be
required by the rules and regulations of the Commission to be furnished to
holders of any Notes (Section 7.04).

the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,

given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Trust") operates as a Maryland
real estate investment trust. The Trust began its operations in 1964 as an
unincorporated business trust organized under a Declaration of Trust governed by
District of Columbia law. The Trust terminated its status as a qualified real
estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes in 1978 and is now
taxable as a corporation. On October 24, 1988, the Trust amended its
Declaration of Trust to qualify the Trust as a statutory real estate investment
trust under Maryland law.
The principal business activity of the Trust and its real estate
subsidiaries is the ownership and development of income-producing properties.
The Trust owns 80% of the outstanding common stock of Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.
("Chevy Chase" or the "Bank"), whose assets accounted for 94% of the Trust's
consolidated assets at September 30, 1995. The Trust is a thrift holding
company by virtue of its ownership of a majority interest in Chevy Chase. See
"Real Estate - Holding Company Regulation."
The Trust recorded net income of $10.9 million in the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995, compared to net income of $23.1 million in the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1994 and net income of $4.5 million in the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1993.
The Trust has prepared its financial statements and other disclosures on a
fully consolidated basis. The term "Trust" used in the text and the financial
statements included herein refers to the combined entity, which includes B.F.
Saul Real Estate Trust and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase and Chevy
Chase's subsidiaries. "Real Estate Investment 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 Chevy Chase and its
subsidiaries is identified by "Banking."
The principal offices of the Trust are located at 8401 Connecticut Avenue,
Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, and the Trust's telephone number is (301)
986-6000.
REAL ESTATE. The Real Estate Trust's long-term objectives are to increase
cash flow from operations and to maximize capital appreciation of its real
estate. The properties owned by the Real Estate Trust are located predominantly
in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States and consist
principally of office and industrial projects, hotels and undeveloped land
parcels.
BANKING. Chevy Chase Bank is a federally chartered and federally insured
stock savings bank which at September 30, 1995 was conducting business from 88
full-service offices and 439 automated teller machines ("ATMs") in Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Columbia. The Bank, which is headquartered in
Montgomery County, Maryland, a suburban community of Washington, D.C., also
maintains 18 mortgage loan production offices in Maryland, Virginia and the
District of Columbia, 17 of which are operated by a wholly-owned mortgage
banking subsidiary. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had total assets of $4.9
billion and total deposits of $4.2 billion. Based on total consolidated assets
at September 30, 1995, Chevy Chase is the largest bank headquartered in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Chevy Chase is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits
from the public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other
funds, to make loans secured by real estate, primarily residential mortgage
loans, and credit card and other types of consumer loans. As a complement to
its
1
<PAGE>
basic deposit and lending activities, the Bank provides a number of related
financial services to its customers, including securities brokerage and
insurance products offered through its subsidiaries.
Chevy Chase recorded operating income of $55.7 million for the year ended
September 30, 1995, compared to operating income of $53.2 million for the year
ended September 30, 1994. At September 30, 1995, the Bank's tangible, core,
tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.77%,
5.77%, 6.65% and 11.63%, respectively. The Bank's capital ratios exceeded the
requirements under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement
Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") as well as the standards established for "well
capitalized" institutions under the prompt corrective action regulations
established pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). On the basis of its balance sheet at September 30,
1995, the Bank met the FIRREA-mandated fully phased-in capital requirements and,
on a fully phased-in basis, met the capital standards established for "well
capitalized" institutions under the prompt corrective action regulations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Financial Condition - Banking - Capital."
Chevy Chase is subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and
supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and, to a lesser extent,
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Bank's deposit
accounts are fully insured up to $100,000 per insured depositor by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which is administered by the FDIC.

The investment portfolio consists principally of seasoned operating
properties. The Real Estate Trust expects to hold its properties as long-term
investments and has no maximum period for retention of any investment. It may
acquire additional income-producing properties, expand and improve its
properties, or sell such properties, as and when circumstances warrant. The
Real Estate Trust also may participate with other entities in property
ownership, through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership.
INVESTMENT IN SAUL HOLDINGS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
On August 26, 1993 the Real Estate Trust consummated a series of
transactions (together with related transactions, the "Formation Transactions")
in which it transferred its 22 shopping center properties and one of its office
properties (the "Transferred Properties"), together with the debt associated
with such properties, to a newly organized limited partnership, Saul Holdings
Limited Partnership ("Saul Holdings Partnership"), and one of two newly
organized subsidiary limited partnerships of Saul Holdings Partnership (the
"Subsidiary Partnerships" and, collectively with Saul Holdings Partnership, the
"Partnerships"). In exchange for the Transferred Properties, the Real Estate
Trust received securities representing a 21.5% limited partnership interest in
Saul Holdings Partnership, which it holds directly and through two wholly owned
subsidiaries. Saul Centers, Inc. ("Saul Centers"), a newly organized, publicly
held real estate investment trust, received a 73.0% general partnership interest
in Saul Holdings Partnership in exchange for the contribution of approximately
$220.7 million to Saul Holdings Partnership. Entities under common control with
the Trust (the "Trust Affiliates") received limited partnership interests
collectively representing a 5.5% partnership interest in Saul Holdings
Partnership in exchange for the transfer of property management functions (the
"Management Functions") and certain other properties to the Partnerships. In
addition, the Trust Affiliates received certain cash distributions from Saul
Holdings Partnership and purchased 4.0% of the common stock of Saul Centers in a
private offering consummated concurrently with the initial public offering of
such common stock. B. Francis Saul II, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees
and Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, also serves as Chairman of the Board
of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Saul Centers.
The Real Estate Trust and the Trust Affiliates own rights (the "Rights")
enabling them to convert their limited partnership interests in Saul Holdings
Partnership into shares of Saul Centers common stock on the basis of one share
of Saul Centers common stock for each partnership unit at the end of a 36-month
period commencing after the initial public offering, provided that they do not
own rights to the extent that they collectively would be treated as owning,
directly or indirectly, more than 24.9% of the value of the outstanding equity
securities of Saul Centers. The shares of Saul Centers common stock are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange (trading symbol "BFS").
In July 1994, Saul Centers established Saul QRS, Inc. and SC Finance
Corporation, as wholly owned subsidiaries of Saul Centers. Saul QRS, Inc. was
established to succeed to the interest of Saul Centers as the sole general
partner of one of the Subsidiary Partnerships, Saul Subsidiary I Limited
Partnership, and SC Finance Corporation was established for the purpose of
issuing $128 million of collateralized floating rate mortgage notes (the
"Mortgage Notes"). In connection with these transactions, Saul Holdings
Partnership transferred ten shopping centers previously owned by it to Saul
Subsidiary I Limited Partnership as an additional capital contribution and the
second Subsidiary Partnership, Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership,
transferred one shopping center previously owned by it to Saul Subsidiary I
Limited Partnership as an initial capital contribution in return for a limited
partnership interest in Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership. As a consequence
of these transfers, Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership currently owns a total
of 17 shopping centers (the "Mortgaged Properties"). The Mortgaged Properties,
8
<PAGE>
which continue to be managed by Saul Holdings Partnership, secure the mortgage
purchased with the proceeds of issuance of the Mortgage Notes.
As a consequence of the Formation Transactions and the later transactions
described above undertaken in connection with the Mortgage Note financing, Saul
Centers serves as the sole general partner of Saul Subsidiary II Limited
Partnership, and Saul QRS, Inc. serves as the sole general partner of Saul
Subsidiary I Limited Partnership. Each such general partner holds a 1% general
partnership interest in the applicable Subsidiary Partnership. The remaining
99% interest in Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership is held by Saul Holdings
Partnership as the sole limited partner. The remaining 99% interest in Saul
Subsidiary I Limited Partnership is held by Saul Holdings Partnership and Saul
Subsidiary II Limited Partnership as limited partners.
At September 30, 1995, Saul Holdings Partnership owned, directly or
indirectly through the Subsidiary Partnerships, 29 community and neighborhood
shopping centers (including the 22 shopping centers transferred by the Real
Estate Trust) located in seven states and the District of Columbia, one office
property and one office/retail property located in the District of Columbia and
one research park located in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C.
(collectively, the "Portfolio Properties").
SAUL CENTERS. Saul Centers made an election to be treated as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the year ended December
31, 1993. Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs are subject to numerous
organizational and operational requirements. If Saul Centers continues to
qualify, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided it
makes certain distributions to its stockholders and meets certain organizational
and other requirements. Saul Centers has announced that it intends to make
regular quarterly dividend distributions to its stockholders.
MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTIES. The Partnerships manage the Portfolio
Properties and any subsequently acquired properties through the Management
Functions, which include personnel and such functions as property management,
leasing, design, renovation, development and accounting. The Management
Functions provide the Partnerships with a fully integrated property management
capability through approximately 150 professionals and staff personnel and with
an extensive and mature network of relationships with tenants and potential
tenants as well as with members of the brokerage and property owners'
communities.
Saul Centers shares with the Trust Affiliates certain ancillary functions
at cost, such as computer and payroll services, benefit administration and
in-house legal services, and shares insurance expense on a pro rata basis. The
Trust Affiliates sublease office space to Saul Centers at their cost. The terms
of all sharing arrangements, including payments related thereto, are reviewed
periodically by the independent directors of Saul Centers, who constitute five
of the nine members of the board of directors.
EXCLUSIVITY AGREEMENT AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Real Estate Trust
has entered into an Exclusivity Agreement (the "Exclusivity Agreement") with,
and has granted a right of first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") to, Saul
Centers and the Partnerships (collectively, the "Company"). The purpose of these
agreements is to minimize potential conflicts of interest between the Real
Estate Trust and the Company. The Exclusivity Agreement and Right of First
Refusal generally require the Real Estate Trust to conduct its shopping center
business exclusively through the Company and to grant the Company a right of
first refusal to purchase commercial properties and development sites that
become available to the Real Estate Trust in the District of Columbia or
adjacent suburban Maryland. Subject to the Exclusivity Agreement and Right of
First Refusal, the Real Estate Trust will continue to develop, acquire, own and
manage commercial properties and
9
<PAGE>
own land suitable for development as, among other things, shopping centers and
other commercial properties.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF SAUL HOLDINGS PARTNERSHIP. The net income
or net loss of Saul Holdings Partnership for tax purposes generally will be
allocated to Saul Centers and the limited partners in accordance with their
percentage interests, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Net cash
flow after reserves of Saul Holdings Partnership and after reimbursement of
specified expenses will be distributed quarterly to the partners in proportion
to their respective partnership interests.
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT. Pursuant to a reimbursement agreement among the
partners of the Partnerships, the Real Estate Trust and two of its subsidiaries
that are partners in the Partnerships have 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. The maximum potential obligations of the Real Estate Trust and
its subsidiaries under this agreement total $115.5 million. See Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. The Real Estate Trust
believes that the Partnerships will be able to make all payments due with
respect to their debt obligations.
TAX CONFLICTS. The fair market value of each of the properties contributed
to the Partnerships by the Real Estate Trust and its subsidiaries at the date of
the Formation Transactions (the "FMV" of each such property) exceeded the tax
basis of such property (with respect to each property, such excess is referred
to as the "FMV-Tax Difference"). In the event Saul Centers or Saul QRS, Inc.,
acting as general partner of a Partnership, causes such Partnership to dispose
of, or there is an involuntary disposition of, one or more of such properties, a
disproportionately large share of the total gain for federal income tax purposes
would be allocated to the Real Estate Trust or its subsidiaries as a result of
the property disposition. In general, if the gain recognized by the Partnership
on such a property disposition is less than or equal to the FMV-Tax Difference
for such property (as previously reduced by the amounts of special tax
allocations of depreciation deductions to the partners), all such gain will be
allocated to the Real Estate Trust or its subsidiaries. To the extent the gain
recognized by the Partnerships on the property disposition exceeds the FMV-Tax
Difference (as adjusted), such excess generally will be allocated among all
partners in Saul Holdings based on their relative percentage interests. In
general, the amount of federal income tax liability in respect of gain allocated
to the Real Estate Trust or its subsidiaries in the event of such a property
disposition is likely to exceed, perhaps substantially, the amount of cash, if
any, distributable to the Real Estate Trust or its subsidiaries as a result of
the property disposition. In addition, future reductions in the level of the
Partnerships' debt, any release of the guarantees of such debt by the Real
Estate Trust or its subsidiaries (described above under "Reimbursement
Agreement") or any refinancings in which the Real Estate Trust or its
subsidiaries do not assume a comparable obligation to that contained in the
Reimbursement Agreement could cause the Real Estate Trust or its subsidiaries to
have taxable constructive distributions without the receipt of any corresponding
amounts of cash. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this
report.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Saul Centers has granted the Real Estate Trust and
the Trust Affiliates certain "demand" and "piggyback" registration rights
(collectively, the "Registration Rights") with respect to the shares of Saul
Centers common stock acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions or
as a consequence of exercise of the Rights (the "Registration Shares"). Subject
to certain limitations. the Registration Rights grant the holders of
Registration Shares the opportunity to cause Saul Centers to register all or any
portion of their respective Registration Shares once in each calendar year and
to have such
10
<PAGE>
Shares registered incidentally to any registration, by Saul Centers, of shares
of common stock or other securities substantially similar to common stock.
Except with respect to the Registration Rights incident to a pledge of
Registration Shares or Saul Holdings Partnership interests, the demand
Registration Rights may be exercised only prior to such time, if any, as the
holder is permitted to sell the Registration Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (k)
under the Securities Act of 1933. Saul Centers will bear expenses incident to
its registration obligations upon exercise of the Registration Rights, except
that it will not bear any underwriting discounts or commissions, Securities and
Exchange Commission or state Blue Sky registration fees, or transfer taxes
relating to registration of Registration Shares.
COMPETITION
As an owner of, or investor in, commercial real estate properties, the Real
Estate Trust is subject to competition from a variety of other owners of similar
properties in connection with their sale, lease or other disposition and use.
Management believes that success in such competition is dependent upon the
geographic location of the property, the performance of property managers, the
amount of new construction in the area and the maintenance and appearance of the
property. Additional competitive factors with respect to commercial and
industrial properties are the ease of access to the property, the adequacy of
related facilities such as parking, and the ability to provide rent concessions
and additional tenant improvements without increasing rent. Management believes
that general economic circumstances and trends and new properties in the
vicinity of each of the Real Estate Trust's properties also will be competitive
factors.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Real Estate Trust's properties are subject to various laws and
regulations relating to environmental and pollution controls. The Real Estate
Trust requires an environmental study to be performed with respect to a property
that may be subject to possible environmental hazards prior to its acquisition
to ascertain that there are no material environmental hazards associated with
such property. Although the effect upon the Real Estate Trust of the
application of environmental and pollution laws and regulations cannot be
predicted with certainty, management believes that their application either
prospectively or retrospectively will not have a material adverse effect on the
Real Estate Trust's property operations.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE B. F. SAUL COMPANY
The Real Estate Trust has significant relationships with B. F. Saul Company
(the "Saul Company") and two of the Saul Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, B.
F. Saul Advisory Company (the "Advisor") and Franklin Property Company
("Franklin"). The Saul Company, founded in 1892, specializes in real estate
investment services, including acquisitions, financing, management and leasing,
and insurance. B. Francis Saul II, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief
Executive Officer of the Trust, is Chairman of the Board and President of the
Saul Company and the Advisor.
The Advisor acts as the Real Estate Trust's investment advisor and manages
the day-to-day financial, accounting, legal and administrative affairs of the
Real Estate Trust. Franklin acts as leasing and management agent for most of
the income-producing properties owned by the Real Estate Trust, and plans and
oversees the development of new properties and the expansion and renovation of
existing properties.
The Trustees, including the two independent Trustees, review the fees and
compensation arrangements between the Real Estate Trust and the Saul Company and
its related entities and affiliates and believe that such fees and compensation
11
<PAGE>
arrangements are as favorable to the Real Estate Trust as would be obtainable
from unaffiliated sources. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions."
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
The Trust and the Saul Company, by virtue of their direct and indirect
control of the Bank, and Chevy Chase Property Company ("CCPC") and CCPC's
wholly-owned subsidiary Westminster Investing Corporation ("Westminster"), by
virtue of Westminster's direct and indirect ownership of 24.9% of the common
stock of the Trust (collectively the "Holding Companies"), are "savings and loan
holding companies" subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the
OTS. The Bank is prohibited from making or guaranteeing loans or advances to or
for the benefit of the Holding Companies or other affiliates engaged in
activities beyond those permissible for bank holding companies and from
investing in the securities of the Holding Companies or other affiliates.
Further, transactions between the Bank and the Holding Companies must be on
terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those
that would be available to non-affiliates.
The Holding Companies must obtain the prior approval of the OTS before
acquiring by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets any federally insured
savings institution or any savings and loan holding company. As unitary savings
and loan holding companies, the Holding Companies are virtually unrestricted in
the types of business activities in which they may engage, provided the Bank
continues to meet the qualified thrift lender test. See "Banking - Regulation -
Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") Test." If the Holding Companies were to acquire
one or more federally insured institutions and operate them as separate
subsidiaries rather than merging them into the Bank, the Holding Companies would
become "multiple" savings and loan holding companies. As multiple savings and
loan holding companies, the Holding Companies would be subject to limitations on
the types of business activities in which they would be permitted to engage,
unless the additional thrifts were troubled institutions acquired pursuant to
certain emergency acquisition provisions and all subsidiary thrifts met the QTL
test. The Holding Companies may acquire and operate additional savings
institution subsidiaries outside of Maryland and Virginia only if the laws of
the target institution's state specifically permit such acquisitions or if the
acquisitions are made pursuant to emergency acquisition provisions.
The Trust and the Saul Company entered into an agreement with OTS's
predecessor, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, to maintain the
Bank's regulatory capital at the required levels, and, if necessary, to infuse
additional capital to enable the Bank to meet those requirements. Since the
execution of this agreement, the OTS has changed its policy and now accepts more
limited agreements from those acquiring thrift institutions. In addition, the
regulatory capital requirements applicable to the Bank have changed
significantly as a result of FIRREA. The OTS has stated that capital
maintenance agreements entered into prior to such modification of OTS policy and
the enactment of FIRREA were not affected by such changes. The Trust and the
Saul Company have not sought to modify the existing agreement. To the extent
the Bank is unable to meet regulatory capital requirements in the future, the
OTS could seek to enforce the obligations of the Trust and the Saul Company
under the agreement. The Bank's business plan does not contemplate any future
capital contributions from the Trust or the Saul Company.
If the Bank were to become "undercapitalized" under the prompt corrective
action regulations, it would be required to file a capital restoration plan with
the OTS setting forth, among other things, the steps the Bank would take to
become "adequately capitalized." The OTS could not accept the plan unless the
Holding Companies guaranteed in writing the Bank's compliance with that plan.
The aggregate liability of the Holding Companies under such a commitment would
be limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5.0% of the Bank's total
assets at the time the Bank became "undercapitalized" and (ii) the amount
12
<PAGE>
necessary to bring the Bank into compliance with all applicable capital
standards as of the time the Bank fails to comply with its capital plan. If the
Holding Companies refused to provide the guarantee, the Bank would be subject to
the more restrictive supervisory actions applicable to "significantly
undercapitalized" institutions.
Congress is considering legislation that would significantly restrict the
operations of unitary thrift holding companies. See "Banking - Regulation -
Pending Legislation - Balanced Budget Act of 1995."
FEDERAL TAXATION
The Trust terminated its status as a real estate investment trust for
federal income tax purposes in 1978 and is now taxable as a corporation. The
Trust's real estate operations have generated sizable depreciation, interest and
other deductions in excess of its total income, and as a result the Trust has
had substantial net operating loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes
("NOLs"). The Trust and its subsidiaries join in the filing of a consolidated
federal income tax return using the accrual method of accounting on the basis of
a fiscal year ending September 30.
Since June 28, 1990 the Bank and its subsidiaries have joined in the
consolidated federal income tax returns filed by the Trust on a fiscal year
basis. Prior to June 28, 1990, the Bank and its subsidiaries filed a
consolidated federal income tax return on a calendar-year basis.
Savings institutions such as the Bank generally are taxed in the same
manner as other corporations. There are, however, several special rules that
apply principally to savings institutions (and, in some cases, other financial
institutions). Certain significant aspects of the federal income taxation of
the Bank are discussed below.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed audits of the federal
income tax returns of the Bank for the taxable years ended December 31, 1988,
December 31, 1989 and June 27, 1990, and September 30, 1990. The Trust was
included in the audit for the taxable year ended September 30, 1990. The IRS is
currently conducting audits of the federal income tax returns of the Trust for
the taxable years ended September 30, 1992 and September 30, 1993. The
Commonwealth of Virginia is currently conducting audits of the consolidated
state income tax returns of the Trust for the taxable years ended September 30,
1991, September 30, 1992 and September 30, 1994.
BAD DEBT RESERVE. Savings institutions that satisfy certain requirements
(so-called "qualifying institutions" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code)
are permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to deduct each year
reasonable additions to those reserves in lieu of taking a deduction for bad
debts actually sustained during the taxable year. To be treated as a qualifying
institution, at least 60% of a savings institution's assets must be "qualifying
assets," which include cash, certain U.S. Government and state government
securities, obligations of certain deposit insurance corporations, loans secured
by interests in residential real property and loans made for the improvement of
residential real property.
A qualifying institution may deduct in each taxable year the sum of (i) an
addition to a reserve for losses on "qualifying real property loans" (generally,
loans secured by interests in real property) and (ii) an addition to a reserve
for losses on "nonqualifying loans" (such as credit card loans). A qualifying
institution generally may compute the amount of the addition to the reserve for
losses on qualifying real property loans under the more favorable of the
"experience method," which is based on the institution's actual loan loss
experience over a prescribed period, or the "percentage of taxable income
method," which is based on a fixed percentage (i.e., 8%) of the institution's
13
<PAGE>
taxable income. The Bank has calculated the bad debt deduction for tax purposes
under the experience method since calendar year 1988.
The Bank has calculated its bad debt deduction for tax purposes under the
experience method since calendar year 1988. If the Bank were not treated as a
qualifying institution for any taxable year, it would be required to recapture
its bad debt reserve (for 1995, approximately $81.7 million) into taxable
income. In addition, the Bank would be allowed to deduct only those bad debts
that actually were sustained during the taxable year. If the Bank were no
longer permitted to use the reserve method, the change would not have a
significant adverse effect on the Bank's reported earnings under generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1995, which was passed by Congress but vetoed by
President Clinton on December 6, 1995, contained provisions that would have
repealed the special bad debt reserve methods used by thrift institutions so
that in future taxable years thrifts (like banks) generally would be able to
deduct only those bad debts actually incurred during the taxable year. This
legislation also would have required thrifts to recapture and pay tax on bad
debt reserves accumulated since 1987 ("excess base year reserves") over a six-
year period, beginning with a thrift's first taxable year starting after
December 31, 1995 (or, if the thrift meets a mortgage origination test,
beginning up to two years later). Reserves accumulated prior to 1988 would not
have been recaptured under this legislation. Should this legislation ultimately
be enacted into law in its current form, it would not have a material impact on
the Trust's financial statements.
CONSOLIDATED TAX RETURNS; TAX SHARING PAYMENTS. On June 28, 1990, the
Trust increased its ownership of Chevy Chase common stock from 60% to 80%.
As a result of the Trust's 80% ownership of the common stock of the Bank, for
federal income tax purposes Chevy Chase became a member of the Trust's
affiliated group filing consolidated federal income tax returns for taxable
years beginning on and after June 28, 1990. In recent years, the operations
of the Trust have generated significant net operating losses ("NOLs"), while
during the same period Chevy Chase has reported taxable income. The fiscal
1995 taxable income of Chevy Chase was sufficient to utilize all NOL
carryforwards and the fiscal 1995 tax loss of the Trust. It is anticipated
that, because Chevy Chase's operations will continue to be included in the
Trust's consolidated returns, NOLs and any other operating losses generated
by the Trust or its other subsidiaries will be available to reduce the
federal income taxes that otherwise would be payable by Chevy Chase (and the
other members of the Real Estate Trust's affiliated group that have taxable
income). Under the terms of a tax sharing agreement dated June 28, 1990 (the
"Tax Sharing Agreement"), Chevy Chase is obligated to make payments to the
Trust based on its taxable income, as explained more fully below. However,
under the written agreement between Chevy Chase and the OTS (see "Banking -
Regulation - Regulatory Capital"), Chevy Chase has agreed not to make tax
sharing payments without the prior approval of the OTS.
The Tax Sharing Agreement generally provides that each member of the
Trust's affiliated group is required to pay the Trust an amount equal to 100% of
the tax liability that the member would have been required to pay to the IRS if
the member had filed on a separate return basis. These amounts generally must
be paid even if the affiliated group has no tax liability or the group's tax
liability is less than the sum of such amounts. Under the Tax Sharing
Agreement, the Trust, in turn, is obligated to pay to the applicable tax
authorities the overall tax liability, if any, of the group. In addition, to
the extent the net operating losses or tax credits of a particular member reduce
the overall tax liability of the group, the Trust is required to reimburse such
member on a dollar-for-dollar basis, thereby compensating the member for the
group's use of its net operating losses or tax credits.
14
<PAGE>
The Bank made a tax sharing payment of $20.6 million in fiscal 1990, tax
sharing payments totaling $29.6 million in fiscal 1991 and a tax sharing payment
of $5.0 million in fiscal 1993. OTS approval of the $5.0 million payment made
in 1993 was conditioned on a pledge by the Trust of certain Trust assets to
secure certain of its obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement. Following
execution of such a pledge, the OTS approved, and the Bank made during fiscal
1994 and 1995, additional tax sharing payments of $9.6 and $20.5 million,
respectively, to the Trust. It is expected that the Bank will have taxable
income over the next several years and that the Trust's NOLs and any additional
operating losses will be utilized to reduce the overall tax liability of the
group which would otherwise arise from such taxable income of the Bank (or from
the taxable income of other members of the Trust's affiliated group). At
September 30, 1995, the amount of tax sharing payments due to the Trust, but
then unpaid, was $17.7 million. Subsequent to such date, the Bank made a tax
sharing payment of $10.0 million to the Trust.
If the Bank has net operating losses or unused tax credits in the current
or any future year, under the Tax Sharing Agreement the Trust would be obligated
to reimburse the Bank in an amount generally equal to (i) the tax benefit to the
group of using such tax losses or unused tax credits in the group's consolidated
federal income tax return for such year, plus (ii) to the extent such losses or
credits are not used by the group in such year, the amount of the tax refunds
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 (but not in
excess of the net amount paid by the Bank to the Trust pursuant to the Tax
Sharing Agreement). There is no assurance that the Trust would be able to
fulfill this obligation. If the Trust did not make the reimbursement, the OTS
could attempt to characterize such nonpayment as an unsecured extension of
credit by the Bank to the Trust which, as described above under "Holding Company
Regulation," is prohibited under current law. The Tax Sharing Agreement itself
does not provide for any remedies upon a breach by any party of its obligations
under the Agreement. Any reimbursement obligation of the Trust should be
available to be offset against any obligation of the Bank to the Trust under the
Tax Sharing Agreement that is unpaid at the time the reimbursement obligation
arises.
STATE TAXATION
Maryland law does not allow the filing of consolidated income tax returns,
and thus the Trust and its subsidiaries, which includes the Bank, subject to
Maryland income tax are required to file separately in Maryland. The Trust and
its subsidiaries are also subject to income taxes in other states, some of which
allow or require combined or consolidated filing.
BANKING
REGULATION
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta. The 12 FHLBs are administered by the Federal
Housing Finance Board, an independent agency within the executive branch of the
federal government. The FHLBs serve as a central credit facility for member
savings institutions. Their primary credit mission is to enhance the
availability of residential mortgages. From time to time, the Bank obtains
advances from the FHLB. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had outstanding $155.1
million of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. See Note 22 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in this report and "Deposits and Other Sources of Funds -
Borrowings."
As a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, the Bank is required to acquire and
hold shares of capital stock in that bank in an amount equal to the greater of:
(i) 1.0% of mortgage-related assets (i.e., home mortgage loans, home-purchase
15
<PAGE>
contracts and similar obligations); (ii) 0.3% of total assets; (iii) $500; or
(iv) 5.0% of outstanding advances. Pursuant to this requirement, the Bank had an
investment of $31.9 million in FHLB stock at September 30, 1995. The Bank
earned dividends of $2.3 million during each of the years ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, at weighted average annual rates of 7.19% and 5.65%,
respectively, during such years.
LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS. The Bank is required to maintain a daily average
balance of liquid assets (including cash, federal funds, certain time deposits,
certain bankers' acceptances, certain corporate debt securities and commercial
paper, securities of certain mutual funds and specified U.S. Government, state
government and federal agency obligations) equal to a specified percentage of
its average daily balance of deposits (based upon the preceding month's average
balances), plus borrowings (or portions thereof) payable in one year or less.
This liquidity requirement is currently 5.0%. Federal regulations also require
that each institution maintain an average daily balance of short-term liquid
assets equal to at least 1.0% of its average daily balance of deposits, plus
borrowings payable in one year or less. If an institution's liquid assets or
short-term liquid assets at any time do not at least equal (on an average daily
basis for the month) the amount required by the OTS, the institution could be
subject to various monetary penalties imposed by the OTS. At September 30,
1995, the Bank was in compliance with both requirements, with a liquid assets
ratio of 17.5% and a short-term liquid assets ratio of 5.8%.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Under FDIC insurance regulations, the Bank is
required to pay premiums to SAIF for insurance of its accounts. The FDIC
utilizes a risk-based premium system in which an institution pays premiums for
deposit insurance on its SAIF-insured deposits ranging from 0.23% to 0.31% based
on supervisory evaluations and on the institution's capital category under the
OTS's prompt corrective action regulations. See "Prompt Corrective Action."
Although the FDIC insures commercial banks as well as thrifts, the
insurance reserve funds for commercial banks and thrifts have been segregated
into the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the SAIF, respectively. The FDIC is
required to increase the reserve levels of both the BIF and the SAIF to 1.25% of
insured deposits over a reasonable period of time and thereafter to maintain
such valuation allowances at not less than that level. During fiscal 1995, the
BIF reserve reached the mandated 1.25% of insured deposits. Accordingly,
although the FDIC previously had applied the same premium rates to BIF and SAIF
deposits, the FDIC board, in August 1995, approved lower BIF premium rates for
all but the riskiest institutions. On the other hand, the SAIF, of which Chevy
Chase is a member, is not expected to achieve the required 1.25% level until at
least 2002 without Congressional action to provide additional funding or to
merge the BIF and SAIF. The resulting disparity in insurance premiums for
commercial banks and thrifts could lead to a competitive disadvantage for the
thrift industry in the pricing of loans and deposits and the incurrence of
operating costs.
Congress is considering legislation that would either reduce or eliminate
the anticipated disparity between BIF and SAIF insurance premiums. See "Pending
Legislation - Balanced Budget Act of 1995."
SAIF insurance may be terminated by the FDIC, after notice and a 30-day
corrective period, upon a finding by the FDIC that the institution has engaged
in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue
operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or
condition imposed by the FDIC. The 30-day period may be eliminated by the FDIC
with the approval of the OTS.
REGULATORY CAPITAL. Under OTS regulations implementing the capital
requirements imposed by FIRREA, savings institutions, such as the Bank, are
subject to a minimum tangible capital requirement, a minimum core (or leverage)
capital requirement, and a minimum total risk-based capital requirement. Each
16
<PAGE>
of these requirements generally must be no less stringent than the capital
standards for national banks. At September 30, 1995, the Bank's tangible, core
and total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.77%, 5.77% and 11.63%,
respectively, compared to the minimum requirements under FIRREA of 1.50%, 3.00%
and 8.00%, respectively, in effect at that date.
Under the minimum leverage ratio under FIRREA, Chevy Chase must maintain a
ratio of "core capital" to tangible assets of not less than 3.0%. However,
under the OTS "prompt corrective action" regulations, an institution that is not
in the highest supervisory category must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of
4.0% to be considered an "adequately capitalized" institution. See "Prompt
Corrective Action." "Core capital" generally includes common shareholders'
equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in
consolidated subsidiaries, less certain intangible assets, except that purchased
mortgage servicing rights and originated mortgage servicing rights (collectively
"MSRs") and purchased credit card relationships ("PCCRs") may be included up to
an aggregate amount of 50% of core capital. PCCRs are also subject to a
sublimit of 25% of core capital. For these purposes, MSRs and PCCRs are valued
at the lesser of 90% of fair market value or 100% of the current unamortized
book value. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had qualifying MSRs of $27.2
million, which constituted 9.6% of core capital at that date, and had no PCCRs.
The amount of qualifying supervisory goodwill includable as core capital
decreased from 0.375% to 0% effective January 1, 1995. Deductions or phase-outs
from capital also apply for investments in, and loans to, subsidiaries engaged
in activities not permissible for national banks, for equity investments that
are not permissible for national banks and for the portion of land loans and
non-residential construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value ratio.
The tangible capital requirement adopted by the OTS requires a savings
institution to maintain "tangible capital" in an amount not less than 1.5% of
tangible assets, which is the minimum limit permitted by FIRREA. "Tangible
capital" is defined as core capital less any intangible assets (including
supervisory goodwill), plus qualifying MSRs valued at the amount includable in
core capital.
The risk-based capital requirements issued by the OTS provide that the
capital ratio applicable to an asset is adjusted to reflect the degree of credit
risk associated with that asset and that the asset base for computing a savings
institution's capital requirement includes off-balance-sheet assets. Capital
must be maintained against the full amount of assets sold with recourse despite
the fact that the assets are treated as having been sold under GAAP. However,
the amount of capital required need not exceed the amount of recourse retained.
There are currently four categories of risk-weightings: 0% for cash and
similar assets, 20% for qualifying mortgage-backed securities, 50% for
qualifying residential permanent real estate loans and 100% for other loans,
including credit card loans, commercial real estate loans and loans more than 90
days past due and for real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Savings
institutions generally are required to maintain risk-based capital equal to 8.0%
of risk-weighted assets, with at least half of that amount in the form of core
capital.
A savings institution's supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the
risk-based capital requirement only to the extent of the institution's core
capital. Supplementary capital includes cumulative perpetual preferred stock,
qualifying non-perpetual preferred stock, qualifying subordinated debt,
nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits, and allowances for loan and lease
losses (up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). At September 30,
1995, the Bank had $53.3 million in allowances for loan and lease losses, of
which $53.1 million was includable as supplementary capital.
17
<PAGE>
Subordinated debt may be included in supplementary capital with OTS
approval subject to a phase-out based on its term to maturity. The phase-out
established for such maturing capital instruments by the OTS permits an
institution to include such instruments in supplementary capital under one of
two phase-out options: (i) at the beginning of each of the last five years
prior to the maturity date of the instrument, the institution may reduce the
amount eligible to be included by 20% of the original amount or (ii) the
institution may include only the aggregate amount of maturing capital
instruments that mature in any one year during the seven years immediately prior
to an instrument's maturity that does not exceed 20% of the institution's
capital. Once an institution selects either the first or second option, it must
continue to select the same option for all subsequent issuances of maturing
capital instruments as long as there is any outstanding balance of such
instruments for which an option has been selected. The Bank has a $10.0 million
capital note outstanding which is treated in accordance with the rules in effect
at November 7, 1989, the date of issuance of the new regulation. At September
30, 1995, the Bank had $160.0 million in maturing subordinated capital
instruments, of which $151.4 million was includable as supplementary capital.
See "Deposits and Other Sources of Funds - Borrowings."
FDICIA required OTS and the other regulators to revise their risk-based
capital standards to take into account interest-rate risk, concentration of
credit risk and the risks of non-traditional activities. The OTS amended its
risk-based capital rules to incorporate interest-rate risk measures to
complement measures already established for credit risk. An institution that
would experience a change in "portfolio equity" in an amount in excess of 2.0%
of the institution's assets as a result of a 200 basis point increase or
decrease in the general level of interest rates would be required to maintain
additional amounts of risk-based capital based on the lowest interest rate
exposure at the end of the three previous quarters. In August 1995, the OTS
indefinitely delayed implementation of its interest-rate risk regulation pending
the testing of an OTS appeals process. At September 30, 1995, the Bank would
not have been required to maintain additional amounts of risk-based capital had
the interest-rate risk component of the capital regulations been in effect.
Under regulations effective January 17, 1995, the OTS must consider
concentration of credit risk and risks arising from non-traditional activities,
as well as a thrift's ability to manage these risks, in evaluating whether the
thrift should be subject to an individual minimum capital requirement.
OTS regulations contain special rules affecting savings institutions with
certain kinds of subsidiaries. For purposes of determining compliance with each
of the capital standards, a savings institution's investments in, and extensions
of credit to, subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for a national
bank ("non-includable subsidiaries") are, with certain exceptions, deducted from
the savings institution's capital. At September 30, 1995, investments in
non-includable subsidiaries were subject to a 60% phase-out from all three
FIRREA capital requirements. This phase-out will increase to 100% on July 1,
1996. All or a portion of the assets of each of a savings institution's
subsidiaries are generally consolidated with the assets of the savings
institution for regulatory capital purposes unless all of the savings
institution's investments in, and extensions of credit to, such subsidiary are
deducted from capital. Chevy Chase's real estate development subsidiaries are
its only subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank's investments in, and extensions of credit to,
its non-includable subsidiaries had been reduced to approximately $3.9 million,
of which $2.1 million constituted a deduction from tangible capital.
OTS capital regulations also require the 100% deduction from total capital
of all equity investments that are not permissible for national banks and the
portion of land loans and non-residential construction loans in excess of an 80%
loan-to-value ratio. The Bank's only equity investments at September 30, 1995
18
<PAGE>
are certain properties classified as real estate held for sale which the Bank
has agreed to treat as equity investments for regulatory capital purposes. At
September 30, 1995, the book value of these properties after subsequent
valuation allowances was $29.2 million, of which $25.7 million was required to
be deducted from total capital. The Bank had no land loans or non-residential
construction loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 80% at September 30,
1995.
OTS capital regulations provide a five-year holding period (or such longer
period as may be approved by the OTS) for real estate acquired in settlement of
loans ("REO" or "real estate held for sale") 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. Accordingly, if the Bank is unable to dispose of any REO property
(through bulk sales or otherwise) prior to the end of its applicable five-year
holding period and is unable to obtain an extension of such five-year holding
period from the OTS, the Bank could be required to deduct the then-current book
value of such REO property from risk-based capital. In September 1995, the Bank
received from the OTS an extension through September 29, 1996 of the five-year
holding period for certain of its REO properties acquired through foreclosure in
fiscal 1990 and 1991. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Banking - Capital -
Regulatory Action and Requirements."
The Bank in recent periods has actively managed its levels of investments
in, and loans to, non-includable subsidiaries and equity investments to minimize
the impact of the deductions from capital for these investments. The Bank's
ability to maintain capital compliance is dependent on a number of factors,
including, for example, general economic conditions and the condition of local
real estate markets. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Banking - Capital -
Regulatory Action and Requirements."
The OTS has the authority to require an institution to maintain capital at
levels above the minimum levels generally required, but has not indicated any
intention to exercise its authority to do so with respect to the Bank.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION. Pursuant to FDICIA, the OTS and the other
federal agencies regulating financial institutions have adopted regulations
which apply to every FDIC-insured commercial bank and thrift institution a
system of mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions which generally become
more severe as the capital levels of an individual institution decline. The
regulations establish five capital categories to which institutions are assigned
for purposes of determining their treatment under these prompt corrective action
provisions. An institution is categorized as "well capitalized" under the
regulations if (i) it has a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, a tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of at least 6.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least
10.0%, and (ii) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital
directive or prompt corrective action directive issued by the OTS to meet and
maintain a specific capital level. An institution is considered "adequately
capitalized" if such capital ratios are at least 4.0% (3.0% if rated in the
highest supervisory category), 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. An institution with
a leverage ratio below 4.0% (3.0% if rated in the highest supervisory category),
a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio below 4.0% or a total risk-based capital ratio
below 8.0% is considered "undercapitalized" and an institution with ratios under
3.0%, 3.0% or 6.0%, respectively, is considered "significantly
undercapitalized." Finally, an institution is considered "critically
undercapitalized," and subject to provisions mandating appointment of a
conservator or receiver, if its ratio of "tangible equity" (generally defined by
the OTS as core capital plus cumulative perpetual preferred stock) to total
assets is 2.0% or less. An institution's classification category could be
downgraded if, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the OTS determined
that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has received and
has not corrected a less than
19
<PAGE>
satisfactory examination rating for asset quality, management, earnings or
liquidity.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank's leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total
risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.77%, 6.65% and 11.63%, respectively,
which exceeded the ratios established for "well capitalized" institutions, and
the Bank was not subject to any applicable written agreement, order or directive
to maintain a specific capital level. On a fully phased-in basis, at September
30, 1995, the Bank would also exceed the capital standards established for "well
capitalized" institutions.
REGULATORY AGREEMENT. In October 1993, the Bank and the OTS amended a
written agreement dated September 30, 1991 that imposed certain restrictions on
the Bank. As amended, the agreement continues to address transactions with
affiliates, reduction of real estate acquired in settlement of loans, and asset
quality. Specifically, the Bank has agreed that it will not, without receiving
the prior approval of the OTS, (i) increase its investment in certain of its
planned unit developments ("Communities"), including the four Communities which
are under active development, beyond specified levels, (ii) make any additional
tax sharing payments to the Trust or (iii) engage in any other transaction with
the Trust. In addition, the Bank must (i) provide the OTS with 15 days notice
prior to selling any asset with a value over $20 million, (ii) make every effort
to reduce its exposure in certain of its Communities, including the four active
Communities, (iii) notify the OTS 15 days prior to rejecting any purchase offers
for the Communities and (iv) sell any single-family permanent loans for
purchases of homes in the Communities if the terms of those loans are more
favorable to the borrowers than terms prevailing in the general market. The
amended agreement also requires the Bank to submit various periodic reports to
the OTS. A material violation of the agreement could subject the Bank to
additional regulatory sanctions. Management believes the Bank is in material
compliance with the agreement.
GROWTH RESTRICTIONS. Primarily because of its level of non-performing
assets, the Bank remains subject to restrictions on asset growth. Under the
applicable OTS requirements, the Bank may not increase its total assets during
any calendar quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited on
deposit liabilities during the quarter without prior written approval from OTS.
On December 29, 1994, the OTS notified the Bank that it would not object to an
increase in the Bank's total assets of approximately $75 million for the period
October 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994. In addition, the OTS notified the
Bank on March 21, 1995 that it would waive the growth restriction for the period
from January 1, 1995 through March 31, 1995 to allow for an increase in total
assets of up to $125 million, subject to the conditions that the Bank maintain
sufficient capital to meet the "well capitalized" ratios under the OTS's prompt
corrective action regulations as well as all fully phased-in regulatory capital
requirements.
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER ("QTL") TEST. Insured savings institutions like
the Bank must meet a QTL test to avoid imposition of certain restrictions. The
QTL test requires thrifts to maintain a "thrift investment percentage" equal to
a minimum of 65%. The numerator of such percentage is the thrift's "qualified
thrift investments" and the denominator is the thrift's "portfolio assets."
"Portfolio assets" is defined as total assets minus (i) the thrift's premises
and equipment used to conduct its business, (ii) liquid assets, as defined, and
(iii) intangible assets, including goodwill. The QTL test must be met on a
monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank had 74.6% of its portfolio assets invested
in qualified thrift investments. Additionally, the Bank met the QTL test in
each of the previous 12 months.
20
<PAGE>
At least 55% of a thrift's "qualified thrift investments" must consist of
residential housing loans (including home equity loans and manufactured housing
loans), mortgage-backed securities and FHLB and Federal National Mortgage
Association stock. Portions of other assets are also includable, provided that
the total of these assets does not exceed 20% of portfolio assets. Assets in
this category include 50% of residential housing loans originated and sold
within 90 days, investments in real estate-oriented service corporations, 200%
of mortgage loans for residences, churches, schools, nursing homes and small
businesses in areas with unmet credit needs (low or moderate income areas where
credit demand exceeds supply) and loans for personal, family household or
educational purposes (which may not exceed 10% of portfolio assets). Intangible
assets, including goodwill, are specifically excluded from qualified thrift
investments.
An institution that fails to meet the QTL test is subject to significant
penalties. Immediately after an institution ceases to be a QTL, it (i) may not
make any new investment or engage directly or indirectly in any other new
activity unless the investment or activity would be permissible for a national
bank, (ii) may not establish any new branch office at any location at which a
national bank could not establish a branch office, (iii) may not obtain new
advances from the applicable FHLB and (iv) may not pay dividends beyond the
amounts permissible if it were a national bank. One year following an
institution's failure to meet the test, the institution's holding company parent
must register and be subject to supervision as a bank holding company. Three
years after failure to remain a QTL, an institution may not retain any
investments or engage in any activities that would be impermissible for a
national bank, and must repay any outstanding FHLB advances as promptly as
possible consistent with the safe and sound operation of the institution.
Because Chevy Chase is engaged in activities that are not currently
permissible for national banks, such as investing in subsidiaries that engage in
real estate development activities, failure to satisfy the QTL test would
require Chevy Chase to terminate these activities and divest itself of any
prohibited assets held at such time. Based on a review of the Bank's current
activities, management of the Bank believes that compliance with these
restrictions would not have a significant adverse effect on the Bank. In
addition, because the Trust is engaged in real estate ownership and development,
which are activities that are currently prohibited for bank holding companies,
failure by Chevy Chase to remain a QTL, in the absence of a significant
restructuring of the Trust's operations, would, in effect, require the Trust to
reduce its ownership of Chevy Chase to a level at which it no longer would be
deemed to control the Bank.
The Bank has received permission from the OTS to include a specified
percentage of the Bank's credit card portfolio as "housing-related" qualified
thrift investments if the Bank otherwise would not meet the 65% requirement.
The specified percentage is based on a statistical methodology approved by the
OTS which must be updated annually. The only time the Bank has needed to
include housing-relating credit card balances to meet the QTL test was in the
quarter ended March 31, 1989.
The Bank has taken, and will continue to take, steps to meet the QTL test
by structuring its balance sheet to include the required percentage of qualified
thrift investments. The Bank's credit card loan securitization and sales
activity to date has been undertaken, in part, to meet these objectives.
DIVIDENDS AND OTHER CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. Under OTS regulations, the
ability of thrift institutions such as the Bank to make "capital distributions"
(defined to include payment of dividends, stock repurchases, cash-out mergers
and other distributions charged against the capital accounts of an institution)
varies depending primarily on the institution's regulatory capital level. The
regulations do not apply to interest or principal payments on debt, including
interest or principal payments on the Bank's outstanding subordinated
debentures.
21
<PAGE>
Institutions are divided into three tiers for purposes of these
regulations. Tier 1 institutions are those in compliance with their "fully
phased-in" capital requirements and which have not been notified by the OTS that
they are "in need of more than normal supervision." Tier 1 institutions may make
capital distributions without regulatory approval in amounts up to the greater
of (i) 100% of net income for the calendar year to date, plus up to one-half of
the institution's surplus capital (i.e., the excess of capital over the fully
phased-in requirement) at the beginning of the calendar year in which the
distribution is made or (ii) 75% of net income for the most recent four
quarters.
Tier 2 institutions are those in compliance with their current, but not
their fully phased-in, capital requirements. Tier 2 institutions may make
distributions without regulatory approval of up to 75% of their net income for
the most recent four quarters. Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions that make capital
distributions under the foregoing rules must continue to meet the applicable
capital requirements on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such
distributions. Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions may seek OTS approval to pay
dividends beyond these amounts.
Tier 3 institutions have capital levels below their current required
minimum levels and may not make any capital distributions without the prior
written approval of the OTS.
The OTS retains general discretion to prohibit any otherwise permitted
capital distributions on general safety and soundness grounds and must be given
30 days advance notice of all capital distributions. The OTS has approved the
payment of dividends on the Bank's outstanding 13% Noncumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Stock"), provided that (i) immediately
after giving effect to the dividend payment, the Bank's core and risk-based
regulatory capital ratios would not be less than 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively,
(ii) dividends are earned and payable in accordance with the OTS capital
distribution regulation and (iii) the Bank continues to make progress in the
disposition and reduction of its non-performing loans and real estate owned.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank had sufficient levels of capital to be a
Tier 1 institution. However, the OTS retains discretion under its capital
distribution regulation to treat an institution that is in need of more than
normal supervision (after written notice) as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 institution. In
December 1994, the OTS proposed to amend its capital distribution regulation to
simplify it and to conform it to the system of "prompt corrective action"
established by FDICIA. The proposal would replace the current "tiered" approach
with one that, in accordance with the OTS's "prompt corrective action" rule,
would allow associations to make only those capital distributions that would not
cause capital to drop below the level required to remain adequately capitalized.
Those associations that are held by a savings and loan holding company, such as
the Bank, or that receive a composite supervisory rating lower than "2" would
continue to be required to notify the OTS prior to making any capital
distributions. Those associations that are undercapitalized or that would be
undercapitalized following a capital distribution, or that are not
undercapitalized but are in "troubled condition "(defined generally to include
institutions subject to a formal written agreement relating to safety and
soundness), could make a capital distribution only upon application to and
approval by the OTS. The proposal would delete from the OTS regulations the
current numerical restrictions on the amount of permissible capital
distributions.
In May 1988, in connection with the merger of a Virginia thrift into the
Bank, the Saul Company and the Trust entered into a capital maintenance
agreement in which they agreed not to cause the Bank without prior written
approval of its federal regulator to pay "dividends" in any fiscal year in
excess of 50% of the Bank's net income for that fiscal year, provided that any
dividends permitted under such limitation could be deferred and paid in a
subsequent year. However,
22
<PAGE>
under both the current and the proposed OTS capital distribution rule, with the
approval of the OTS, the Bank could substitute the requirements of the OTS
capital distribution rule for any more stringent requirements imposed on it by a
previous written agreement.
The Bank is subject to other limitations on its ability to pay dividends.
The indenture pursuant to which $150 million principal amount of the Bank's 9
1/4% Subordinated Debentures due 2005 was issued in 1993 (the "Indenture")
provides that the Bank may not pay dividends on its capital stock unless, after
giving effect to the dividend, no event of a continuing default shall have
occurred and the Bank is in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.
In addition, the amount of the proposed dividend may not exceed the sum of (i)
$15 million, (ii) 66 2/3% of the Bank's consolidated net income (as defined)
accrued on a cumulative basis commencing on October 1, 1993 and (iii) the
aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Bank after October 1, 1993 from the
sale of qualified capital stock or certain debt securities, minus the aggregate
amount of any restricted payments made by the Bank. Notwithstanding these
restrictions on dividends, provided no event of default has occurred or is
continuing under the Indenture, the Indenture does not restrict the payment of
dividends on the Preferred Stock or any payment-in-kind preferred stock issued
in lieu of cash dividends on the Preferred Stock or the redemption of any such
payment-in-kind preferred stock.
The payment of any dividends on the Bank's common stock and Preferred Stock
will be determined by the Board of Directors based on the Bank's liquidity,
asset quality profile, capital adequacy and recent earnings history, as well as
economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Bank's Board of
Directors, including applicable government regulations and policies. See
"Deposits and Other Sources of Funds - Borrowings."
LENDING LIMITS. Since FIRREA, thrift institutions have been subject to the
same loans-to-one-borrower limits that apply to national banks. With certain
exceptions, the limits prohibit an institution from lending to one borrower
(including certain related entities of the borrower) in an amount in excess of
15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, plus an
additional 10% for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral. The
Bank's loans-to-one-borrower limit was approximately $73.4 million at September
30, 1995, and no group relationships exceeded this limit at that date.
SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS. FDICIA requires the federal financial
institution regulators to devise standards to evaluate the operations of
depository institutions, as well as standards relating to asset quality,
earnings and compensation. In July 1995, the OTS and the federal bank
regulatory agencies jointly issued final safety and soundness standards. The
operational standards adopted cover internal controls and audit systems, loan
documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and
employee compensation. An institution that fails to meet a standard that is
imposed through regulation may be required to submit a plan for corrective
action within 30 days. If a savings association fails to submit or implement an
acceptable plan, the OTS must order it to correct the deficiency, and may
restrict its rate of asset growth, prohibit asset growth entirely, require the
institution to increase its ratio of tangible equity to assets, restrict the
interest rate paid on deposits to the prevailing rates of interest on deposits
of comparable amounts and maturities, or require the institution to take any
other action the OTS determines will better carry out the purpose of prompt
corrective action. Imposition of these sanctions is within the discretion of
the OTS in most cases, but is mandatory if the savings institution commenced
operations or experienced a change in control during the 24 months preceding the
institution's failure to meet these standards, or underwent extraordinary growth
during the preceding 18 months.
In addition, the OTS and the federal bank regulators also published
proposed safety and soundness standards for asset quality and earnings. The
23
<PAGE>
asset quality standards would require that an insured depository institution
establish and maintain a system to identify problem assets and prevent
deterioration in those assets. The earnings standards would require that an
insured depository institution establish and maintain a system to evaluate and
monitor earnings and ensure that earnings are sufficient to maintain adequate
capital and reserves. Based on its review of the proposed regulation,
management does not believe that these new requirements, if adopted
substantially in the form proposed, would have a material adverse effect on the
Bank's operations.
REGULATORY ASSESSMENTS. Pursuant to authority under FIRREA, the OTS has
adopted the following fees to fund its operations: (i) asset-based assessments
for all savings institutions, (ii) examination fees for certain affiliates of
savings associations, (iii) application fees, (iv) securities filing fees and
(v) publication fees. Of these fees, the semi-annual asset-based assessments
(which totaled $352,000 for the six-month period ending December 31, 1995) are
the most significant.
OTHER REGULATIONS AND LEGISLATION. As a thrift institution, Chevy Chase
continues to be subject to a requirement that it obtain prior approval of the
OTS before merging with another institution or before increasing its insured
accounts through merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or assumption of
liabilities. Also, as a SAIF-insured institution, the Bank is subject to
limitations on its ability to buy or sell deposits from or to, or to combine
with, a BIF-insured institution. Despite these restrictions, SAIF-insured
thrifts may be acquired by banks or by bank holding companies under certain
circumstances.
The federal agencies regulating financial institutions possess broad
enforcement authority over the institutions they regulate, including the
authority to impose civil money penalties of up to $1 million per day for
violations of laws and regulations.
Federally chartered thrifts like Chevy Chase generally are permitted to
establish new branches anywhere in the United States, provided that they (i)
meet their regulatory capital requirements; (ii) either have a satisfactory
record under the OTS's regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment Act
("CRA") or have committed to improve their investment-related practices and
performance to the satisfaction of the OTS; (iii) meet the domestic building and
loan test of section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code or the asset
composition test of subparagraph (C) of that section; and (iv) meet the domestic
building and loan test or the asset composition test with respect to each state
outside of its home state where the association has established branches.
Under legislation adopted in 1993, amounts realized by the FDIC from the
liquidation or other resolution of any insured depository institution must be
distributed to pay claims (other than secured claims to the extent of any such
security) in the following order of priority: (i) administrative expenses of the
receiver; (ii) any deposit liability of the institution; (iii) any other general
or senior liability of the institution (which is not an obligation described in
clause (iv) or (v)); (iv) any obligation subordinated to depositors or general
creditors (which is not an obligation described in clause (v)); and (v) any
obligation to stockholders arising as a result of their status as stockholders.
PENDING LEGISLATION. Balanced Budget Act of 1995. In November 1995,
Congress passed and presented to President Clinton the Balanced Budget Act of
1995 (the "Budget Act"), which would, among other things, capitalize the SAIF
and either reduce or eliminate the disparity between the BIF and SAIF insurance
rates. Under the Budget Act, (i) thrift institutions would pay a one-time
assessment estimated to be up to 85 basis points on their SAIF-insured deposits,
as measured on March 31, 1995, to increase the SAIF's reserve ratio to 1.25%,
and (ii) effective January 1, 1996, the assessment base for interest on
Financing Corporation bonds, which were issued in the late 1980's to resolve
troubled thrifts, would be expanded to cover all FDIC-insured institutions,
including
24
<PAGE>
members of both BIF and SAIF. If the legislation is enacted in its current
form, the Bank would be required to pay a one-time assessment of up to $35
million in the first quarter of calendar year 1996; however, the Bank's
semi-annual risk-based deposit insurance premiums should be reduced in future
years.
The Budget Act also would repeal the thrift bad debt reserve provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code. See "Federal Taxation - Bad Debt Reserve." In
addition, although the Budget Act does not require savings associations to
convert to bank charters, it does provide for a merger of the BIF and the SAIF
on January 1, 1998, if no insured depository institution remains chartered as a
savings association on that date.
On December 6, 1995, President Clinton vetoed the Budget Act for reasons
that are unrelated to the above-described provisions, and it cannot be
determined whether, or in what form, the Budget Act will eventually be enacted.
THRIFT CHARTER LEGISLATION. In September 1995, the Financial Institutions
Subcommittee of the House Banking Committee approved the Thrift Charter
Conversion Act of 1995 (the "Conversion Act"). The Conversion Act would, among
other things, eliminate the federal thrift charter by requiring all federally
chartered thrifts, including the Bank, to convert to national bank, state bank,
or state thrift charters by January 1, 1998. Any institution with a federal
thrift charter on January 1, 1998, would be converted to a national bank by
operation of law. Effective January 1, 1998, the Conversion Act also would,
among other things, (i) abolish the OTS and transfer its functions to other
agencies, (ii) repeal the Home Owners Loan Act, the federal statute governing
the operations of thrift institutions and their holding companies and (iii)
merge the SAIF and BIF.
Following conversion, a federal thrift generally would be required to
conform its activities to those permissible under its new charter. However,
existing non-conforming activities could be continued for up to four years (two
years, with two possible one year extensions) from the date that the thrift
converts to a new charter. Accordingly, if the Conversion Act were enacted in
its current form and Chevy Chase were to become a national bank, the Bank could
be required, within as little as two years after its conversion date, to
restrict its sales of non-credit-related insurance and to divest itself of
certain limited real estate investments.
The Conversion Act would permanently grandfather the existing interstate
branches of a converted thrift, but the converted thrift could establish
additional interstate branches only in conformity with federal and state law
applicable to national and state-chartered commercial banks without regard to
any grandfathered interstate branches. Because Maryland and Virginia have
enacted interstate banking laws, the principal impact on the Bank of this
provision of the Conversion Act would be to eliminate the flexibility the Bank
now has under federal law to open interstate branches in any state, regardless
of state law. Conversion of the Bank to a commercial bank charter also would
change (i) the primary federal regulator of the Bank and (ii) certain of the
regulatory capital and accounting policies and rules applicable to the Bank.
Application of different capital and accounting policies and rules without an
appropriate transition period could have an adverse effect on the Bank's
earnings and regulatory capital ratios.
Upon the Bank's conversion to a commercial bank, the Bank's four registered
savings and loan holding companies would become bank holding companies regulated
at the holding company level by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"). Current
rules and regulations of the FRB subject bank holding companies to capital
requirements and activities restrictions that are not currently generally
applicable to savings and loan holding companies under OTS regulations. The
Conversion Act would permit holding companies of converted thrifts that meet
certain requirements ("Qualified Bank Holding Companies" or "QBHCs") to continue
to
25
<PAGE>
engage in nonconforming activities so long as their subsidiary converted thrift
continued to satisfy the qualified thrift lender test and continued to comply
with all limitations and restrictions on the types and amounts of loans and
investments (such as the 10% of assets limitation on commercial loans) that were
applicable to such institutions on the Conversion Act's enactment date.
However, QBHC status would be lost if (i) the QBHC underwent a change in
control, or were the subject of any merger or consolidation with a company not
under common control with the QBHC or (ii) either the QBHC or its subsidiary
converted thrift acquired more than 5% of the shares or assets of any insured
depository institution. Under the Conversion Act, QBHCs generally would not be
subject to the FRB's bank holding company capital requirements.
In November 1995, legislation identical to the Conversion Act was
introduced in the Senate, and the Senate Banking Committee has announced plans
to hold hearings on the bill and to approve its version of a bill by April 1996.
Chevy Chase cannot determine whether, or in what form, such legislation will
eventually be enacted.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. The FRB requires depository institutions,
including federal savings banks, to maintain valuation allowances against their
transaction accounts and certain non-personal deposit accounts. Because
valuation allowances generally must be maintained in cash or
non-interest-bearing accounts, the effect of the reserve requirement is to
decrease the Bank's earning asset base. FRB regulations generally require that
valuation allowances be maintained against net transaction accounts. Prior to
December 19, 1995, the first $4.2 million of a depository institution's
transaction accounts were subject to a 0% reserve requirement. The next $49.8
million in net transaction accounts were subject to a 3.0% reserve requirement
and any net transaction accounts over $54.0 million were subject to a 10.0%
reserve requirement. Effective December 19, 1995, the FRB increased the amount
of transaction accounts subject to a 0% reserve requirement from $4.2 million to
$4.3 million and decreased the "low reserve tranche" from $49.8 million to $47.7
million. The Bank met its reserve requirements for each period during the year
ended September 30, 1995. The balances maintained to meet the reserve
requirements imposed by the FRB also may be used to satisfy liquidity
requirements which are imposed by the OTS.
The FRB also has a clearing balance requirement which may be established at
a depository institution's request in order to, among other things, generate
earnings credits at market rates which are used to offset service charges
resulting from the use of FRB services. An institution that has a reserve
account with the FRB may also elect to maintain a clearing balance requirement
with its reserve requirement in a single account. The maintenance period for
the clearing balance requirement is the same as that for the reserve maintenance
period. Therefore, an institution is expected to maintain a daily average
balance equal to the sum of its reserve balance and clearing balance
requirements. In order to take advantage of being able to use earnings credits
to offset FRB service charges, the Bank began to participate in the clearing
balance requirement program, in the maintenance period beginning November 9,
1995. These additional balances may also be used to satisfy the liquidity
requirements imposed by the OTS.
Savings institutions may borrow from the FRB "discount window," although
FRB regulations require these institutions to exhaust all reasonable alternate
sources of funds, including FHLB sources, before borrowing from the FRB. FDICIA
imposes additional limitations on the ability of the FRB to lend to
undercapitalized institutions through the discount window.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT. Under the Community Reinvestment Act and the
OTS's implementing regulations, a savings association has a continuing and
affirmative obligation to help meet the credit needs of its local communities,
including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and
26
<PAGE>
sound operation of the institution. In connection with its examination of a
savings association, the OTS is required to assess the institution's record in
satisfying the intent of the CRA. In addition, the OTS is required to take into
account the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community in
determining whether to grant approval for certain types of applications.
The Bank is committed to fulfilling its CRA obligation by providing access
to a full range of credit-related products and services to all segments of its
community. In April 1995, the OTS issued a final CRA evaluation, based on an
examination dated January 9, 1995, and assigned the Bank a "satisfactory"
rating.
In April 1995, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued amendments to
the CRA regulations that are designed to focus the CRA examination process on an
institution's actual performance in meeting the credit needs of low- and
moderate-income neighborhoods rather than on its CRA compliance procedures.
Specifically, institutions like the Bank, with more than $250 million in assets,
will be evaluated on the basis of their lending and investment in, and provision
of services, to low- and moderate-income areas unless they request designation
and receive approval as wholesale or limited purpose institutions or have been
approved for evaluation under a strategic plan. The Bank does not contemplate
employing any of these options. Additionally, large retail banks will be
required to collect and report additional data concerning small business loans.
Data collection will become effective January 1, 1996 and reporting requirements
will become effective on January 1, 1997. Beginning on January 1, 1996, the
Bank could be evaluated under the new examination procedures if it provided the
necessary data; however, the new procedures are not required to be applied until
July 1, 1997.
OTHER ASPECTS OF FEDERAL LAW. The Bank is also subject to federal
statutory provisions covering other items, including security procedures,
currency transactions reporting, insider and affiliated party transactions,
management interlocks, truth-in-lending, electronic funds transfers, funds
availability and equal credit opportunity.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), was issued in March
1995. SFAS 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to
those assets, to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. It addresses how impairment losses
should be measured and when such losses should be recognized. Under SFAS 121,
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used shall
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the
expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the
carrying amount of the asset, the entity shall recognize an impairment loss.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and identifiable
intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based on the fair
value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be disposed of should generally be reported at the lower of carrying amount or
fair value less the cost to sell. SFAS 121 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The adoption of
SFAS 121 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Bank's financial
condition on the results of operations. See "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies - the Bank" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
this report.
Statement of Position 94-6, "Disclosures of Significant Risks and
Uncertainties" ("SOP 94-6"), was issued in January 1995. SOP 94-6 requires an
entity to disclose certain information about the nature of its operations and
use of estimates in the preparation of its financial statements. In addition,
if specified criteria are met, it requires an entity to disclose certain
information
27
<PAGE>
about certain significant estimates and current vulnerability to risk due to
certain concentrations. SOP 94-6 is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995, and for financial statements for
interim periods in fiscal years subsequent to the year for which SOP 94-6 is
first applied. See "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - the Bank" in
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
MARKET AREA
The Bank's principal deposit and lending markets are located in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Service industries and federal, state and
local governments employ a significant portion of the Washington, D.C. area
labor force, while a substantial number of the nation's 500 largest corporations
have some presence in the area. The Washington, D.C. area's seasonally
unadjusted unemployment rate is generally below the national rate and was 4.1%
in September 1995, compared to the national rate of 5.4%.
Chevy Chase historically has relied on retail deposits originated in its
branch network as its primary funding source. See "Deposits and Other Sources
of Funds." Chevy Chase's principal market for deposits consists of Montgomery
and Prince George's Counties in Maryland and, to a lesser extent, Fairfax County
in Virginia. Approximately 27.4% of the Bank's deposits at September 30, 1995
were obtained from depositors residing outside of Maryland, primarily in
Northern Virginia. Chevy Chase had the largest market share of deposits in
Montgomery County at June 30, 1995, according to preliminary published industry
statistics. The per capita income of each of Montgomery and Fairfax Counties
ranks among the highest of counties and equivalent jurisdictions nationally.
These two counties are also the Washington, D.C. area's largest suburban
employment centers, with a substantial portion of their labor force consisting
of federal, state and local government employees. Private employment is
concentrated in services and retail trade centers. Unemployment in Montgomery
and Fairfax Counties in September 1995 (2.8% and 2.9%, respectively) was below
the national rate (5.4%) and state rates (5.0% for Maryland and 4.5% for
Virginia) for the same month.
The Bank historically has concentrated its lending activities in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. See "Lending Activities."
INVESTMENTS AND OTHER SECURITIES
The Bank is required by OTS regulations to maintain a specific minimum
amount of liquid assets and short-term liquid assets invested in certain
qualifying types of investments. See "Regulation - Liquidity Requirements." To
meet these requirements, the Bank maintains a portfolio of cash, federal funds
and mortgage-backed securities with final maturities of five years or less. The
balance of investments in excess of regulatory requirements reflects
management's objective of maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to assure
adequate funds to meet expected and unexpected balance sheet fluctuations.
During fiscal 1995, the Bank transferred at fair value all of its
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities previously classified as
available-for-sale to held-to-maturity and, as a result, all such securities are
classified as held-to-maturity at September 30, 1995. Net unrealized holding
losses, net of the related income tax effect, continue to be reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity and are being amortized to income
over the remaining lives of the securities.
The OTS has adopted guidelines governing investment securities held by
SAIF-insured institutions. The guidelines require that investments in
securities be accounted for in accordance with GAAP, summarize the applicable
accounting principles and provide guidance regarding the application of GAAP in
determining whether securities are properly classified as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading.

LENDING ACTIVITIES
LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION. At September 30, 1995, the Bank's loan
portfolio totaled $2.9 billion, which represented 59.0% of its total assets.
(All references in this report to the Bank's loan portfolio refer to loans,
whether they are held for sale and/or securitization or for investment, and
exclude mortgage-backed securities.) Loans collateralized by single-family
residences constituted 48.3% of the loan portfolio at that date.

Actual payments may not reflect scheduled contractual principal repayments
due to the effect of loan refinancings, prepayments and enforcement of
due-on-sale clauses, which give the Bank the right to declare a "conventional
loan" -- one that is neither insured by the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") nor partially guaranteed by the Veterans' Administration ("VA") --
immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower
sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.
Although the Bank's single-family residential loans historically have had stated
maturities of generally 30 years, such loans normally have remained outstanding
for substantially shorter periods because of these factors. At September 30,
1995, principal repayments of $121.6 million are contractually due to the Bank
within the next year. Of the $121.6 million, $33.8 million is contractually due
on fixed-rate loans and $87.8 million is contractually due on adjustable-rate
loans.

As a federally chartered savings institution, the Bank has general
authority to make loans secured by real estate located throughout the United
States. Approximately 96.0% of the Bank's real estate loans at September 30,
1995 by principal balance were secured by properties located in Maryland,
Virginia or the District of Columbia.
The Bank originates VA, FHA and a wide variety of conventional residential
mortgage loans through its wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary, B. F. Saul
Mortgage Company, or directly through Chevy Chase Mortgage, a division of the
Bank. Commercial, real estate construction and ground and home equity credit
line loans are originated directly by the Bank.
The Bank maintains a wholesale network of correspondents, including loan
brokers and financial institutions, in order to supplement its direct
origination of single-family adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Bank determines the specific loan
products and rates under which the correspondents originate the loans, and
subjects the loans to the Bank's underwriting criteria and review. During the
year ended September 30, 1995, approximately $88.5 million of loans settled
under the correspondent program.
Loan sales provide the Bank with liquidity and additional funds for
lending, enabling the Bank to increase the volume of loans originated and
thereby increase loan interest and fee income, and in recent periods have
produced additional non-interest income in the form of gains on sales of loans.
In fiscal 1995, sales of mortgage loans originated or purchased for sale by the
Bank totaled $223.9 million. The marketability of loans, loan participations and
mortgage-backed securities depends on purchasers' investment limitations,
general market and competitive conditions, mortgage loan demand and other
factors. The Bank originates fixed-rate, single-family, long-term loans on
terms which conform to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") guidelines in order to ensure the
salability of the loan in the public secondary mortgage market. In order to
manage its interest-rate exposure, the Bank hedges its fixed-rate mortgage loan
pipeline by entering into whole loan and mortgage-backed security forward sale
commitments. Sales of residential mortgage loans are generally made without
recourse to the Bank. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had $68.7 million of
single-family residential loans held for sale to investors.
When the Bank sells a whole loan or loan participation and retains
servicing, or purchases mortgage servicing rights from third parties, it
continues to collect and remit loan payments, inspect the properties, make
certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of borrowers and otherwise service
the loans. The normal servicing fee, generally ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% of
the outstanding loan principal amount per annum, is recognized as income over
the life of the loans. The Bank also typically derives income from temporary
investment for its own account of loan collections pending remittance to the
participation or whole loan purchaser. At September 30, 1995, the Bank was
servicing residential permanent loans totaling $1.4 billion for other investors.
SALES OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. A significant portion of the Bank's
sales of mortgage-backed securities involve sales pursuant to the Bank's normal
mortgage banking operations. Generally, the Bank's policy is to sell its
fixed-rate mortgage production which, in the case of most conforming fixed-rate
loans, is accomplished by first pooling such loans into mortgage-backed
securities. The mortgage-backed securities sold as part of the Bank's mortgage
banking operations are generally issued in the same month as the sale of such
securities. The securities are formed from conforming fixed-rate loans
originated for sale or from fixed-rate loans resulting from the borrower's
election to convert from a variable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan. In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," mortgage-backed
35
<PAGE>
securities held for sale in conjunction with mortgage banking activities are
classified as trading securities. As a result, the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows in this report reflect significant proceeds from the sales of
securities, even though there are no balances of trading securities at September
30, 1995. Fixed-rate loans are designated as held for sale in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition in this report.
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. The Bank originates a
variety of loans secured by single-family residential structures. At September
30, 1995, $1.4 billion (or 48.3%) of the Bank's loan portfolio consisted of
loans secured by first or second mortgages on such properties, including $36.1
million of FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed loans.
Chevy Chase currently offers fixed-rate loans with maturities of 15 to 30
years and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans ("ARMs"), principally with
maturities of 30 years. At September 30, 1995, 39.3% of the Bank's loans
consisted of ARMs scheduled to have interest rate adjustments within five years.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Financial Condition - Banking - Asset and Liability Management."
Interest rates on the majority of the Bank's ARMs are adjusted based on changes
in yields on U.S. Treasury securities of varying maturities. The interest rate
adjustment provisions of the Bank's ARMs contain limitations on the frequency
and maximum amount of interest rate adjustments, although such limitations are
not required by law. These limitations are determined by a variety of factors,
including mortgage loan competition in the Bank's markets. The ARMs currently
offered by the Bank are generally subject to a limitation on the annual increase
in the interest rate of 2.0% and a limitation on the increase in the interest
rate over the term of the loan ranging from 6.0% to 9.0%.
During the current fiscal year, the Bank continued to fulfill its 1994
five-year commitment of $1.0 billion to meet the credit needs of low- and
moderate-income borrowers in the various communities which it serves. As
part of this commitment, the Community Development Mortgage Program is
providing $140.0 million of mortgage financing over a five-year period, with
$7.0 million in subsidies for below-market mortgage loans, to families in
minority neighborhoods in the District of Columbia and Prince George's
County, Maryland.
The Bank's home equity credit line loan provides revolving credit secured
principally by a second mortgage on the borrower's home. Home equity credit
line loans bear interest at a variable rate that adjusts quarterly based on
changes in the applicable interest rate index and generally are subject to a
maximum annual interest rate of between 18.0% and 24.0%. Except for any
amortization of principal that may occur as a result of monthly payments, there
are no required payments of principal until maturity. In order to promote its
home equity credit line loan program, the Bank currently offers prospective
borrowers a below-market interest rate for an introductory period and settlement
without closing costs.
Securitizations of home equity credit line receivables have been an
integral element of the Bank's strategies to enhance liquidity and to maintain
compliance with regulatory capital requirements. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial
Condition - Banking." The Bank transferred $150.5 million, $181.9 million and
$340.4 million of home equity credit line receivables in fiscal 1995, fiscal
1994 and fiscal 1993, respectively, to trusts for securitization and sale to
investors. Gains of $7.6 million, $9.5 million and $16.8 million were
recognized by the Bank as a result of these transactions. The Bank continues to
service the underlying accounts.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION LENDING. Aggregate balances of
residential construction, commercial construction, ground and commercial and
multifamily loans decreased 13.3% in fiscal 1995 to $118.4 million at September
36
<PAGE>
30, 1995 from $136.6 million at September 30, 1994. In the past three fiscal
years, the Bank has provided financing, generally at market rates, to certain
purchasers of its commercial REO. Additionally, the Bank finances the
construction of residential real estate, principally single-family detached
homes and townhouses, but generally only when a home is under contract for sale
by the builder to a consumer.
CREDIT CARD LENDING. Chevy Chase provides consumer credit through its
credit card program, which offers VISAr and MasterCardr credit cards and
includes Gold and Classic cards. Chevy Chase issues the credit cards and
receives interest income on credit extended, a fee based on a percentage of
credit sales paid by merchants accepting card purchases, and an annual
membership fee for use of the cards. Chevy Chase's credit card loan portfolio
accounted for 34.4% of Chevy Chase's total loans at September 30, 1995.
According to statistics published in Sheshunoff S&L Quarterly, Chevy Chase is
the second largest issuer of credit cards among thrift institutions, based on
total credit card loans outstanding at March 31, 1995. At September 30, 1995,
credit card loans outstanding totaled $1.0 billion and managed credit card
receivables, including receivables owned by the Bank and receivables
securitized, sold and serviced by the Bank, totaled $4.2 billion.
The Bank emphasizes credit card lending in recent years because the
shorter term and normally higher interest rates on such loans help it maintain a
profitable spread between its average loan yield and its cost of funds. In
addition, credit card accounts typically may be sold at a premium over their
receivables balances, thus further enhancing their potential value to the Bank.
Chevy Chase also believes its credit card program contributes to market share
growth in its local markets by attracting new depositors, promoting a high
degree of customer loyalty and providing opportunities to cross-market other
products of the Bank. For this reason, the Bank has not sold any credit card
accounts maintained by cardholders having addresses in Maryland, Virginia or the
District of Columbia, the Bank's primary market area.
Chevy Chase's internal data processing systems are capable of handling a
broad range of credit card program operations, including processing of credit
applications and collection functions. Certain data processing and
administrative functions associated with the servicing of the credit card
accounts are performed on behalf of the Bank by First Data Resources
Incorporated from its facilities in Omaha, Nebraska.
Changes in credit card use and payment patterns by cardholders, including
increased defaults, may result from a variety of social, legal and economic
factors. Chevy Chase currently offers introductory periodic interest rates for
varying initial periods which, at the conclusion of such periods, revert to the
Bank's regular variable interest rate. If account holders choose to utilize
competing sources of credit, the rate at which new receivables are generated may
be reduced and certain purchase and payment patterns with respect to the
receivables may be affected. Economic factors affecting credit card use include
the rate of inflation and relative interest rates offered for various types of
loans. Adverse changes in economic conditions could have a direct impact on the
timing and amount of payments by borrowers. During times of economic recession,
default rates on credit card loans generally may be expected to exceed default
rates on residential mortgage loans. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Banking
- - Asset Quality - Delinquent Loans" and "- Allowances for Losses."
Certain issuers of credit cards have adjusted their pricing to provide for
the different credit risks among customers based upon card usage, repayment
habits and other criteria. The Bank has implemented such risk-based pricing by
increasing the interest rates charged to high-risk customers and by continuing
to allow premium-credit customers a more favorable rate. The Bank currently
offers premium-credit customers the option to convert to a variable-rate product
37
<PAGE>
which currently provides the cardholder with a lower interest rate than the
Bank's fixed-rate product. Periodically, the Bank offers promotional discounts
to certain customers to encourage increased usage of the Bank's credit cards.
Certain jurisdictions and their residents may attempt to require
out-of-state credit card issuers to comply with such jurisdictions' consumer
protection laws (including laws limiting the charges imposed by such credit card
issuers) in connection with their operations in such jurisdictions. For
example, in recent years a number of lawsuits and administrative actions have
been filed in several states against out-of-state credit card issuers (including
both federally chartered and state chartered insured depository institutions)
challenging various fees and charges (such as late fees, over-the-limit fees,
returned check fees and annual membership fees) assessed against residents of
the states in which such lawsuits were filed, based on restrictions or
prohibitions under the laws of such states. Several state and federal courts
that have considered this issue have ruled in favor of the issuing institutions;
however, courts in some states, notably Pennsylvania and New Jersey, have
determined that certain laws of those states that prohibit certain fees and
charges are applicable to out-of-state credit card issuers. If it were
determined that out-of-state credit card issuers must comply with a
jurisdiction's laws limiting the charges imposed by credit card issuers, such
action could have an adverse impact on the Bank's credit card operations.
Securitizations of credit card receivables and sales of credit card
relationships have been integral elements of the Bank's strategies to enhance
liquidity, to further asset and liability management objectives and to maintain
compliance with regulatory capital and "qualified thrift lender" requirements.
In fiscal 1994, 1992 and 1991, the Bank sold approximately 150,000 credit card
relationships at a premium over their receivables balances of $96.5 million,
$14.9 million and $273.4 million, respectively. No such sales occurred during
fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1993. The Bank transferred $1.6 billion, $1.4 billion,
$350.0 million and $280.0 million of credit card receivables in fiscal 1995,
fiscal 1994, fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992, respectively, to trusts for
securitization and sale to investors. No gain or loss was recognized by the
Bank as a result of these transactions; however, the Bank continues to service
the underlying accounts, and excess servicing fees are recognized over the
related lives of the transactions. These excess servicing fees represent the
contractual interest and fees paid by the cardholders less certificate interest
paid to the certificateholders and administrative fees paid to providers of
services to the trusts.
Chevy Chase plans to securitize an additional $750.0 million of credit card
receivables during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1996. Certain of
these receivables at September 30, 1995 were classified as loans held for
securitization and sale in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in
this report.
Credit card loans are not subject to those provisions of federal laws and
regulations that limit to 35% of an institution's total assets the amount of
consumer loans that a federally chartered savings institution may make.
CONSUMER AND OTHER LENDING. Chevy Chase currently offers a variety of
consumer loans other than credit card loans, including automobile loans,
overdraft lines of credit, home improvement loans and other unsecured loans for
traditional consumer purchases and needs. The largest areas of recent growth
have been in automobile loans and home improvement loans. During fiscal 1995,
the Bank purchased or originated $256.7 million of automobile loans, which was
offset in part by the transfer of $252.2 million of receivables to a trust for
securitization and sale to investors. Home improvement loans increased $75.2
million during fiscal 1995 as a result of an increase in the number of dealers
selling such loans to the Bank. The Bank's portfolio of automobile loans, home
improvement loans and other consumer loans totaled $239.2 million, $112.7
million
38
<PAGE>
and $40.2 million, respectively, at September 30, 1995. Automobile loans, home
improvement loans and other consumer loans (other than credit card loans)
accounted for 13.3% of total loans at that date.
Federal laws and regulations permit a federally chartered savings
institution to make secured and unsecured consumer loans up to 35% of the
institution's total assets. In addition, a federally chartered savings
institution has lending authority above the 35% limit for certain consumer loans
which include, in addition to credit card loans, home improvement, secured
deposit account and educational loans.
REAL ESTATE LOAN UNDERWRITING. In the loan approval process, Chevy Chase
assesses both the borrower's ability to repay the loan and, in appropriate
cases, the adequacy of the proposed security. Credit approval is vested with
the Board of Directors and delegated to the Executive Loan Committee and certain
senior officers in accordance with the credit authorizations approved by the
Board of Directors. All construction and commercial real estate loans are
reviewed and approved by the Executive Loan Committee. Any significant loan not
conforming to the Bank's approved policies must be approved by the Executive
Loan Committee or the Chief Executive Officer. All loans of $15 million or more
are presented to the Board of Directors for final approval.
The approval process for all types of real estate loans includes on-site
appraisals of the properties securing such loans and a review of the applicant's
financial statements and credit, payment and banking history, financial
statements of any guarantors, and tax returns of guarantors of construction and
commercial real estate loans.
In an effort to minimize the increased risk of loss associated with
construction and development loans, Chevy Chase considers the reputation of the
borrower and the contractor, reviews pre-construction sale and leasing
information, and requires an independent inspecting engineer or architect to
review the progress of multifamily and commercial real estate projects. In
addition, the Bank generally requires personal guarantees of developers for all
development loans and, if a general contractor is used by the developer, may
require the posting of a performance bond.
The Bank generally lends up to 95% of the appraised value of single-family
residential dwellings to be owner-occupied. The Bank also lends up to 85% of
the appraised value of the completed project to finance the construction of such
dwellings, and, on a case-by-case basis, the Bank occasionally may lend up to
90% of such appraised value when such financing is limited to pre-sold units.
The loan-to-value ratio generally applied by the Bank to commercial real estate
loans and multifamily residential loans has been 80% of the appraised value of
the completed project. Currently, the Bank generally does not originate a
second mortgage loan (excluding home equity credit line loans) if the aggregate
loan-to-value ratio of the second loan and the related first mortgage loan
exceeds 80% of the appraised value of the property. In February 1994, the Bank
increased the maximum loan-to-value ratio for home equity credit line loans to
90% from 80% provided that private mortgage insurance is obtained for the amount
over 80% of the value of the underlying property. Loan-to-value ratios are
determined at the time a loan is originated. Consequently, subsequent declines
in the value of the loans' collateral could expose the Bank to losses.
OTS regulations require institutions to adopt internal real estate lending
policies, including loan-to-value limitations conforming to specific guidelines
established by the OTS. The Bank's current lending policies conform to these
regulations.
On all loans secured by real estate (other than certain home equity credit
line loans), Chevy Chase requires title insurance policies protecting the
priority of the Bank's liens. The Bank requires fire and casualty insurance for
39
<PAGE>
permanent loans (including home equity credit line loans) and fire, casualty and
builders' risk insurance for construction loans. The borrower selects the
insurance carrier, subject to Chevy Chase's approval. Generally, for any
residential loan (including home equity credit line loans) in an amount
exceeding 80% of the appraised value of the security property, Chevy Chase
currently requires mortgage insurance from an independent mortgage insurance
company. The majority of the Bank's mortgage insurance is placed with four
carriers.
Substantially all fixed-rate mortgage loans originated by the Bank contain
a "due on sale" clause providing that the Bank may declare a loan immediately
due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the
property securing the loan without the consent of the Bank. The Bank's ARMs
generally are assumable.
CREDIT CARD LOAN UNDERWRITING. The Bank generates new credit card accounts
through various methods, including direct-mail. The Bank identifies potential
cardholders for preapproved solicitations by supplying a list of credit criteria
to a credit bureau, which generates a list of individuals who meet such
criteria. When the Bank receives an acceptance certificate from an individual
that received a preapproved solicitation, the Bank obtains a credit report on
such individual issued by an independent credit reporting agency, and the credit
limit and terms of the account are subject to certain post-screening
underwriting reviews performed by the Bank.
The Bank's underwriting approach to account approval supplements a
computerized credit scoring system with an individual evaluation of each
completed application for creditworthiness. In the underwriting process, the
Bank considers the prospective cardholder's income, credit history, outstanding
debt as a percentage of gross income and other factors intended to provide a
general indication of the applicant's willingness and ability to repay his
obligations. The Bank also reviews a credit report on each applicant issued by
an independent credit reporting agency and, for certain applicants,
independently verifies employment, income or other information contained in the
credit application.
If an application is approved, the Bank establishes an initial credit limit
on the cardholder's account based on the limit requested in the credit
application and the Bank's evaluation of the cardholder's creditworthiness.
This credit limit is adjusted from time to time based on the Bank's continuing
evaluation of the cardholder's repayment ability as evidenced by the
cardholder's payment history and other factors. The Bank also may increase the
credit limit at the cardholder's request after completion of an evaluation
comparable to that performed during the initial underwriting.
Management reviews credit losses on a monthly basis and adjusts the Bank's
underwriting standards as appropriate.
OTHER CONSUMER LOAN UNDERWRITING. Other consumer loans (which include
automobile loans and home improvement loans) are originated or purchased by the
Bank after a review by the Bank in accordance with its established underwriting
procedures.
The underwriting procedures are designed to provide a basis for assessing
the borrower's ability and willingness to repay the loan. In conducting this
assessment, the Bank considers the borrower's ratio of debt to income and
evaluates the borrower's credit history through a review of a written credit
report compiled by a recognized consumer credit reporting bureau. The
borrower's equity in the collateral and the terms of the loan are also
considered. The Bank's guidelines are intended only to provide a basis for
lending decisions, and exceptions to such guidelines may, within certain limits,
be made based upon the credit judgment of the Bank's lending officer. The Bank
periodically conducts quality audits to ensure compliance with its established
policies and procedures.
40
<PAGE>
The Bank also makes automobile loans through one of its operating
subsidiaries. The underwriting guidelines for this subsidiary apply to a
category of lending in which loans may be made to applicants who have
experienced certain adverse credit events (and therefore would not necessarily
meet all of the Bank's guidelines for its traditional loan program), but who
meet certain other creditworthiness tests. Such loans may experience higher
rates of delinquencies, repossessions and losses, especially under adverse
economic conditions, compared with loans originated pursuant to the Bank's
traditional lending program. See "Subsidiaries - Operating Subsidiaries."
LOAN SERVICING. In addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives
income through servicing of loans and fees in connection with loan origination,
loan modification, late payments, changes of property ownership and
miscellaneous services related to its loans. Loan servicing income, principally
servicing income earned on the Bank's securitized credit card, home equity
credit line and automobile receivables portfolios, has been a source of
substantial earnings for the Bank in recent periods. Income from these
activities varies with the volume and type of loans originated and sold.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Bank's
servicing income as of or for the years indicated.

(1) The Bank's basis in its servicing rights at September 30, 1995, 1994 and
1993 was $54.2 million, $40.5 million and $48.0 million, respectively.
(2) In each of the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, loan
servicing fee income as a percentage of net interest income before
provision for loan losses was 104.6%, 41.4% and 25.7%, respectively.
The Bank earns fees in connection with the servicing of home equity credit
line loans, credit card loans, automobile loans and single-family residential
mortgage loans. The Bank's level of servicing fee income increases or decreases
with increases or decreases in securitized balances of these loan types. The
substantial increase in loan servicing fee income in fiscal 1995 from the level
achieved in fiscal 1994 was principally attributable to an increase in
securitized credit card receivables outstanding and decreased charge-offs, which
combined to increase the amount of servicing income earned on credit card
securitizations. The Bank's level of servicing fee income declines upon
repayment of assets previously securitized and sold and repayment of mortgage
loans serviced for others. As the Bank securitizes and sells assets, acquires
41
<PAGE>
mortgage servicing rights either through purchase or origination, or sells
mortgage loans and retains the servicing rights on those loans, the level of
servicing fee income increases. During fiscal 1995, the Bank securitized and
sold $1.6 billion of credit card receivables, $150.5 million of home equity
credit line receivables and $252.2 million of automobile loan receivables. In
fiscal 1995, the Bank also sold the rights to service mortgage loans with an
aggregate principal balance of $148.1 million, which were originated by the Bank
in connection with its mortgage banking activities.
The Bank's investment in loan servicing rights (including purchased and
originated mortgage servicing rights (collectively "mortgage servicing rights")
and excess loan servicing assets), and the amortization of such rights, are
evaluated for impairment. Excess loan servicing assets are evaluated quarterly
based on the discounted value of estimated future net cash flows to be generated
by the underlying loans. Changes in the discounted value of these assets are
recorded as a reduction of fee income in the period in which the change occurs.
Several estimates are used when determining the discounted value, the most
significant of which is the estimated rate of repayment of the underlying loans.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"), the Bank evaluates its
mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on fair value. To measure fair
value of its mortgage servicing rights, the Bank uses either quoted market
prices or discounted cash flow analyses using appropriate assumptions for
servicing fee income, servicing fee costs, prepayment rates and discount rates.
Additionally, the Bank stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for
purposes of evaluating impairment by taking into consideration relevant risk
characteristics, including loan type, note rate and date of acquisition. See
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - The Bank" in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
The Bank's current origination fees on its single-family mortgage loans
generally range from 1.0% to 3.0% of the principal amount of the loan. Its
current origination fees on construction and multifamily residential and
commercial real estate loans generally range from 0.5% to 2.0% of the principal
amount of the loan.
Loan origination and commitment fees, and the related costs associated with
making the loans, are deferred in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees Associated with
Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases." For fully
amortizing loans originated for the Bank's portfolio, the net deferred fees are
accreted to interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the
level-yield method. Fees deferred on revolving credit lines or loans which have
no scheduled amortization originated for the Bank's portfolio are accreted to
income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans using the straight-line
method.
Fees deferred on loans originated and held for sale are not accreted to
income but instead are used in determining the gain or loss on the sale of the
loans.
DELINQUENCIES, FORECLOSURES AND ALLOWANCES FOR LOSSES
DELINQUENCIES AND FORECLOSURES. When a borrower fails to make a required
payment on a mortgage loan, the loan is considered delinquent and, after
expiration of the applicable cure period, the borrower is charged a late fee.
The Bank follows practices customary in the banking industry in attempting to
cure delinquencies and in pursuing remedies upon default. Generally, if the
borrower does not cure the delinquency within 90 days, the Bank initiates
foreclosure action. If the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced,
the security property is sold. In some instances, the Bank may be the
purchaser. Thereafter, such acquired property is listed in the Bank's account
for real
42
<PAGE>
estate acquired in settlement of loans until the property is sold. Deficiency
judgments generally may be enforced against borrowers in Maryland, Virginia and
the District of Columbia, but may not be available or may be subject to
limitations in other jurisdictions in which loans are originated by the Bank.
The total outstanding balance of a credit card loan (the largest category
of the Bank's consumer loans) is considered contractually delinquent if the
minimum payment indicated on the cardholder's statement is not received by the
due date indicated on such statement. Efforts to collect contractually
delinquent credit card receivables currently are made by the Bank's service
center personnel or the Bank's designees. Collection activities include
statement messages, formal collection letters and telephone calls. The Bank
may, at its option, enter into arrangements with cardholders to extend or
otherwise change payment schedules. Delinquency levels are monitored by
collection managers, and information is reported regularly to senior management.
Accounts are charged off when they become 180 days contractually delinquent,
although the Bank continues to attempt to collect balances due and, in some
cases, may refer the accounts to outside collection agencies.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Banking - Asset Quality -
Delinquent Loans" for a discussion of the Bank's delinquent loan portfolio at
September 30, 1995.
ALLOWANCES FOR LOSSES. It is the Bank's policy to maintain adequate
allowances for estimated losses on loans and real estate. Generally, the
allowances are based on, among other things, historical loan loss experience,
evaluation of economic conditions in general and in various sectors of the
Bank's customer base, and periodic reviews of loan portfolio quality by Bank
personnel. Allowances for losses on loans and real estate are based on current
events or facts that may ultimately lead to future losses. The Bank's actual
losses may vary from management's current estimates. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Financial Condition - Banking - Asset Quality - Allowances for Losses."
The Bank's specific methods for establishing the appropriate levels of
allowances vary depending upon the assets involved. The Bank's allowance on
credit card loans is based on a number of factors, including historical
charge-off and repayment experience and the age of the portfolio. The Bank has
developed a static pool model to extrapolate its allowance needs based on an
analysis of the characteristics of the portfolio and trends at any particular
time. In this regard, the Bank considers historical charge-off information
relative to origination date, borrower profiles, age of accounts, delinquencies,
bankruptcies and other factors. Although industry standards are considered,
they are given comparatively less weight due to management's belief that
comparisons among different institutions' portfolios are potentially misleading
because of significant differences in underwriting standards, curing and
re-aging procedures and charge-off policies. Chevy Chase's policy is to charge
off credit card receivables when they become 180 days contractually delinquent.
The Bank's actual charge-off experience for credit card loans may vary from the
levels forecasted by the Bank's static pool model because credit card loans
typically are more sensitive to general economic conditions than certain other
types of loans. For example, an unforeseen decline in economic activity may
result in increased bankruptcy losses which the model is unable to forecast.
Nevertheless, because the Bank's model employs a rolling 12-month base, such
unforeseen losses are incorporated into the model as they occur and allowances
are adjusted accordingly. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition - Banking -
Asset Quality - Allowances for Losses."
The Bank's methods for determining the allowance on loans secured by real
estate vary depending on whether the loans are secured by residential homes or
43
<PAGE>
by other real estate. For residential mortgage loans, management computes the
allowance by stratifying residential permanent loans on a state by state and
ownership (i.e., investor or homeowner) basis. After the residential permanent
portfolio has been stratified by state, historical loss ratios (as adjusted for
predictable or quantifiable trends, if known) for the specific states are
applied to delinquent loans. The sum of these calculations is the component
assigned to residential permanent loans. In the Bank's experience, this
approach has resulted in timely recognition of necessary allowances, which has
been generally supported by the Bank's favorable results on the ultimate
disposition of the underlying collateral.
The Bank assesses the adequacy of its general valuation allowances on
non-residential (i.e., other than single-family residential) mortgage loans, REO
and real estate held for investment based primarily on an ongoing evaluation of
individual assets. This evaluation takes into consideration a variety of
factors, including cash flow analyses, independent appraisals, market studies,
economic trends and management's knowledge of the market and experience with
particular borrowers. The Bank obtains current appraisals when properties are
classified as REO. The Bank periodically reviews appraisals and orders new
appraisals as appropriate based on a number of factors, including the date of
the previous appraisal, changes in market conditions and regulatory
requirements.
The Bank's individualized asset review takes place within its Asset Review
Committee and the Asset Classification Committee (the "Committee"). The Asset
Review Committee accumulates and analyzes data relating to classified and
potential problem assets of $5.0 million or more and makes appropriate
recommendations regarding asset classifications to the Committee. The Committee
meets on a regular basis to discuss classifications of such assets and to review
the allowances for losses. The Committee generally reviews the status of
various projects, including, for example, data on recent lot sales for
residential development projects and leasing activity on commercial projects.
Actual progress is compared to projections made when the related loan was
underwritten. Local economic conditions and known trends are also reviewed.
The Committee also considers steps being taken by borrowers to address problems,
and reviews financial information relating to borrowers and guarantors as well
as reports by loan officers who are responsible for continually evaluating the
projects. The actions of the Committee are reported to the Board of Directors.
The Federal Financial Institution Examination Council, which is composed of
the OTS and the other federal banking agencies, has issued guidelines regarding
the appropriate levels of general valuation allowances that should be maintained
by insured institutions. The Bank believes that its levels of general valuation
allowances at September 30, 1995 comply with the guidelines.
The Bank's assets are subject to review and classification by the OTS and
the FDIC upon examination. Based on such examinations, the Bank could be
required to establish additional valuation allowances or incur additional
charge-offs.
DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL. Deposits are the primary source of the Bank's funds for use in
lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, Chevy
Chase receives funds from loan repayments and loan sales. Loan repayments are a
relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are
influenced by general interest rates and money-market conditions. Borrowings may
be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as deposit
inflows at less than projected levels or deposit outflows, or to support the
Bank's operating or investing activities.
DEPOSITS. Chevy Chase currently offers a variety of deposit accounts with
a range of interest rates and maturities designed to attract both long-term and
44
<PAGE>
short-term deposits. Deposit programs include Super Statement Savings, Super
NOW, Insured Money Fund, Checking, Simple Statement Savings, Young Savers,
Certificate, and special programs for Individual Retirement and Keogh
self-employed retirement accounts. All jumbo certificates of deposit are sold
directly by the Bank to depositors, either through its branches or through its
money desk operation.
Chevy Chase attracts deposits through its branch network and
advertisements, and offers depositors access to their accounts through 439 ATMs,
including 129 ATMs located in Safeway Inc. stores and 48 ATMs located in
Superfresh Food Markets. The Bank also has the right to install ATMs in Safeway
stores in the greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore/Richmond area which do not
currently have ATM service. These ATMs and installation rights significantly
enhance the Bank's position as a leading provider of convenient ATM service in
its primary market area. The Bank is a member of the regional "MOST"r ATM
network which offers over 5,900 locations in the middle-Atlantic region. The
Bank is also a member of the "PLUS" - REGISTRATION MARK - ATM network, which
offers over 213,000 locations worldwide.
The Bank obtains deposits primarily from customers residing in Montgomery
and Prince George's Counties in Maryland and Northern Virginia. Approximately
27.4% of the Bank's deposits at September 30, 1995 were obtained from depositors
residing outside of Maryland, with approximately 12.6% of the Bank's deposits
being obtained from depositors residing in Northern Virginia.
The following table shows the amounts of Chevy Chase's deposits by type of
account at the dates indicated.

The range of deposit account products offered by the Bank through its
extensive branch and ATM network allows the Bank to be competitive in obtaining
funds from its local retail deposit market. At the same time, however, as
customers have become increasingly responsive to changes in interest rates, the
Bank has experienced some fluctuations in deposit flows. Chevy Chase's ability
to attract and maintain deposits and its cost of funds will continue to be
significantly affected by market conditions and its pricing strategy. During
fiscal 1995, the Bank periodically solicited brokered deposits through entities
registered with the FDIC as deposit brokers. Under FDIC regulations, the Bank
is permitted to accept brokered deposits as long as it remains well capitalized
or (with FDIC approval) adequately capitalized under the prompt correction
action regulations.
The following table sets forth Chevy Chase's deposit flows during the
periods indicated.

BORROWINGS. The FHLB system functions as a central reserve bank providing
credit for member institutions. As a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, Chevy Chase
is required to own capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta and is authorized to
apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of its mortgages
and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the United States or its agencies), provided certain standards related to
creditworthiness have been met.
Under the credit policies of the FHLB of Atlanta, credit may be extended to
creditworthy institutions based upon the financial condition, and the adequacy
of collateral pledged to secure the extension of credit. Such extensions of
credit or borrowings may be obtained pursuant to several different credit
programs, each of which has its own rate and range of maturities. Advances from
the FHLB of Atlanta must be secured by certain types of collateral with a value,
as determined by the FHLB of Atlanta, at least equal to 100% of the borrower's
outstanding advances. The Bank had outstanding FHLB advances of $155.1 million
at September 30, 1995.
From time to time, the Bank enters into repurchase agreements, which are
treated as financings. The Bank sells securities (usually mortgage-backed
securities) to a dealer and agrees to buy back the same securities at a
specified time (generally within seven to 90 days). The Bank pays a stated
interest rate for the use of the funds for the specified time period to the
dealer. The obligation to repurchase the securities sold is reflected as a
liability and the securities underlying the agreements are included in assets in
the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in this report. These
arrangements are, in effect, borrowings by the Bank secured by the securities
sold. There were no repurchase agreements outstanding at September 30, 1995.
51

The following table sets forth a summary of the repurchase agreements of
the Bank as of the dates and for the years indicated.

On November 23, 1993, the Bank sold $150 million principal amount of its 9
1/4% Subordinated Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures"). Interest on the
Debentures is payable semiannually on December 1 and June 1 of each year. The
OTS approved the inclusion of the principal amount of the Debentures in the
Bank's supplementary capital for regulatory capital purposes. On or after
December 1, 1998, the Debentures will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any
time at the option of the Bank. Under the OTS capital regulations, redemption
of the Debentures prior to their stated maturity would be subject to prior
approval of the OTS unless the Debentures are redeemed with the proceeds of, or
replaced by, a like amount of "a similar or higher quality" capital instrument.
In December 1986, the Bank issued an unsecured ten-year subordinated
capital note in the original principal amount of $10.0 million to BACOB Bank,
s.c., a foreign private savings bank. Unless the note is earlier redeemed, the
note principal is payable in one payment on December 31, 1996. Interest is
payable in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a variable rate of
3% over the six-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The note may be
redeemed at the Bank's option, at par, without premium or penalty, together with
accrued interest.
SUBSIDIARIES
OTS regulations generally permit the Bank to make investments in service
corporation subsidiaries in an amount not to exceed 3.0% of the Bank's assets,
provided that any investment in excess of 2.0% of assets serves primarily
community, inner city or community development purposes. Such regulations also
permit the Bank to make "conforming loans" to such subsidiaries and joint
ventures in an amount not to exceed 50% of the Bank's regulatory capital. At
September 30, 1995, 2.0% and 3.0% of the Bank's assets was equal to $98.9
million and $148.4 million, respectively, and the Bank had $22.8 million
invested in its service corporation subsidiaries, $5.1 million of which was in
the form of conforming loans. The Bank is required to provide 30 days advance
notice to the OTS and to the FDIC before establishing a new subsidiary or
conducting a new activity in an existing subsidiary. With prior written approval
from the OTS, the Bank may also establish operating subsidiaries to engage in
any activities in which the Bank may engage directly.
52
<PAGE>
Chevy Chase engages in significant activities through B. F. Saul Mortgage
Company. See "Lending Activities." The Bank engages in other activities
through its subsidiaries, including those described below.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. Manor Investment Company ("Manor")
previously engaged in certain real estate development activities as the result
of activities commenced prior to the enactment of FIRREA and continues to manage
the two remaining assets it holds. As a result of the stringent capital
requirements that FIRREA applies to investments in subsidiaries such as Manor
that engage in activities impermissible for national banks, Manor has not
entered, and does not intend to enter, into any new real estate development
arrangements. In fiscal 1995, Manor sold two of its largest projects. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Financial Condition - Banking - Asset Quality."
SECURITIES BROKERAGE SERVICES. Chevy Chase Securities, Inc., a licensed
broker-dealer, sells securities on a retail basis to the general public,
including customers and depositors of the Bank.
INSURANCE SERVICES. Chevy Chase Insurance Agency, Inc. is a licensed
insurance broker offering a variety of "personal line" insurance programs in the
property and casualty field (primarily homeowner and automobile insurance) and
in the life insurance field (primarily mortgage and credit card life and
disability programs).
SPECIAL PURPOSE SUBSIDIARIES. At September 30, 1995, Chevy Chase owned 20
active subsidiaries that were formed for the sole purpose of acquiring title to
various real estate projects pursuant to foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure. The Bank's investment in the active subsidiaries was $252.2
million at September 30, 1995. The Bank's investments in these subsidiaries are
not subject to the 3.0% service corporation investment limit discussed above.
See "Regulation - Regulatory Capital."
OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES. CCB Holding Corporation is a Delaware corporation
created by the Bank as an operating subsidiary in September 1994 in connection
with its asset securitization activities. The subsidiary owns a seller
certificate issued by two credit card trusts formed by the Bank and certain
other related assets. Consumer Finance Corporation was formed as an operating
subsidiary in December 1994 to engage in automobile lending.
EMPLOYEES
The Bank and its subsidiaries had 2,905 full-time and 687 part-time
employees at September 30, 1995. The Bank provides its employees with a
comprehensive range of employee benefit programs, including group health
benefits, life insurance, disability insurance, paid sick leave and an employee
loan program. The Bank offers home mortgage and credit card loans to employees
at prevailing market rates, but waives up to one point of any loan origination
fees on home mortgage loans and the annual fee on credit card loans, and
provides a yearly rebate equal to 0.5% of the outstanding loan balance of home
mortgage loans at calendar year-end. The Bank also offers employees a one
percent discount on the interest rate on overdraft lines of credit. None of the
Bank's employees is represented by a collective bargaining agent. The Bank
believes that its employee relations are good.
COMPETITION
Chevy Chase encounters strong competition both in attracting deposits and
making real estate and other loans in its markets. The Bank's most direct
competition for deposits has come from other thrift institutions, commercial
banks and credit unions, as well as from money market funds and corporate and
government securities. In addition to offering competitive interest rates,
Chevy
53
<PAGE>
Chase offers a variety of services, convenient ATM locations and
convenient office locations and hours to attract deposits. Competition for real
estate and other loans comes principally from other thrifts, banks, mortgage
banking companies, insurance companies and other institutional lenders. Chevy
Chase competes for loans through interest rates, loan fees and the variety and
quality of services provided to borrowers and brokers.
The Bank's major competition historically has come from local depository
institutions, but deregulation of the financial services industry and changing
market demands in recent years have eroded distinctions between providers of
financial services. In addition, both depository and non-depository institutions
have greater nationwide access to attractive markets, such as the Washington,
D.C. area, than they have had in past years. Chevy Chase now competes with
regional financial institutions and national providers of investment
alternatives, as well as with a number of large money center and regional banks
that have acquired subsidiary institutions in the area.
The Bank estimates that it competes principally with approximately 12
depository institutions in its deposit-taking activities, with approximately ten
institutions in the origination of single-family residential mortgage loans
(other than home equity credit line loans) and with approximately three
depository institutions in the origination of home equity credit line loans. At
June 30, 1995, according to preliminary published industry statistics, Chevy
Chase had the largest market share (approximately 19.6%) of deposits in
Montgomery County, Maryland, and Chevy Chase ranked third in market share of
deposits in Prince George's County, Maryland. Based on publicly available
information, Chevy Chase estimates that, in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan
area, it maintains a significant market share of single-family residential
mortgage loans and the leading market share of home equity credit line loans.
The credit card industry is highly competitive and characterized by
increasing use of advertising, target marketing, pricing competition in interest
rates and annual membership fees, and other features (such as buyer protection
plans), as both established and new credit card issuers seek to expand or to
enter the market. Management anticipates that competitive pressures will
continue to require adjustments, from time to time, to the pricing of the Bank's
credit card products.
Interstate banking laws enacted by Congress and various states have
intensified the competition faced by the Bank in attracting deposits and making
loans. A number of large out-of-state financial institutions have established
or acquired banking operations in Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia pursuant to these provisions.
PROPERTIES
REAL ESTATE
A list of the investment properties of the Real Estate Trust is set forth
under "Business - Real-Estate - Real Estate Investments."
The Trust conducts its principal business from its executive offices at

At September 30, 1995, the net book value of the Bank's office facilities
(including leasehold improvements) was $120.8 million. See Note 16 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
The Bank currently plans to build facilities in Frederick, Maryland and in
Laurel, Maryland to consolidate the Bank's employees and operations in those
areas. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had invested $4.8 million in the land
and $3.2 million for capital expenditures relating to these facilities.
During fiscal 1995, the Bank transferred an office building, which was
previously classified as real estate held for investment, to property and
equipment. Management plans to use a significant portion of the building to
satisfy the Bank's current and anticipated need for additional office space.
In fiscal 1991, the Bank purchased an historic office building and the
underlying land in downtown Washington, D.C. with plans to establish a deposit
branch office and a trust office in the building. Although the Bank terminated
its trust business in fiscal 1991, it still plans to establish a branch in the
building.
The Bank owns additional assets, including furniture and data processing
equipment. At September 30, 1995, these other assets had a net book value of
$59.7 million. The Bank also has operating leases, primarily for certain
automobiles and data processing equipment and software. The leases for
automobiles are generally for periods of less than four years; the leases for
the data processing equipment and software have month-to-month or year-to-year
terms.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Trust is involved in certain
litigation, including litigation arising out of the collection of loans, the
enforcement or defense of the priority of its security interests, and the
continued development and marketing of certain of its real estate properties.
57
<PAGE>
In the opinion of management, litigation which is currently pending will not
have a material impact on the financial condition or future operations of the
Trust.
In August 1994, Chevy Chase and its subsidiary, B. F. Saul Mortgage Company
(together, the "Companies"), entered into an agreement with the United States
Department of Justice (the "Department") which commits them to continue the
types of lending practices, branching strategies and promotional programs that
are designed to increase the level of banking services available to
traditionally underserved areas of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Specifically, the Companies have agreed to invest $11.0 million in the
African-American community of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area over a
five-year period. This commitment obligates the Companies to: (i) provide $7.0
million over the five-year period in subsidies for below-market mortgage loans
to residents of designated majority African-American neighborhoods in
Washington, D.C. and Prince George's County, Maryland; (ii) open two additional
mortgage offices in majority African-American neighborhoods in the metropolitan
Washington, D.C. area; and (iii) open one new deposit branch in the Anacostia
area of Washington, D.C. The Companies also have agreed over the same five-year
period, among other things, to continue efforts to increase their advertising
and promotional efforts targeted to residents of African-American neighborhoods,
to continue efforts to recruit African-Americans for loan production positions,
and to continue various employee training programs. The Companies view these
efforts as continuations of their existing programs.
SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Trust during
the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995.

<PAGE>
MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There currently is no established public trading market for the Trust's
Common Shares of Beneficial Interest (the "Common Shares"). At December 1, 1995,
there were nine corporate or individual holders of record of Common Shares. All
holders of Common Shares at such date were affiliated with the Trust. See
"Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Trust has prepared its financial statements and other disclosures on a
fully consolidated basis. The term "Trust" used in the text and the financial
statements included herein refers to the combined entity, which includes B.F.
Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, including Chevy Chase
and Chevy Chase's subsidiaries. "Real Estate Trust" refers to B.F. Saul Real
Investment Trust and its subsidiaries, excluding Chevy Chase and Chevy Chase's
subsidiaries. The operations conducted by the Real Estate Trust are designated
as "Real Estate," while the business conducted by the Bank and its subsidiaries
is identified by the term "Banking."
FINANCIAL CONDITION
REAL ESTATE
The Real Estate Trust's investment portfolio at September 30, 1995
consisted primarily of hotels, office and industrial projects, and land
parcels. See "Business - Real Estate - Real Estate Investments." In August
1993, the Real Estate Trust transferred its 22 shopping center properties and
one of its office properties, together with the debt associated with such
properties, to Saul Holdings Partnership and a subsidiary limited partnership of
Saul Holding Partnership in exchange for securities representing a 21.5% limited
partnership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership. See "Business - Real Estate
- - Investment in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership."
Office space in the Real Estate Trust's office property portfolio was 84%
leased at September 30, 1995, compared to a leasing rate of 93% at September 30,
1994. At September 30, 1995, the Real Estate Trust's office property portfolio
had a total gross leasable area of approximately 1.37 million square feet, of
which 305,000 square feet (27%) and 235,000 square feet (21%) are subject to
leases whose terms expire in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, respectively. Due to
a decline in market leasing rates for office space over the past several years,
the terms of certain of the new leases may be less favorable to the Real Estate
Trust than the terms of the expiring leases.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the nine hotel properties
owned by the Real Estate Trust throughout the period experienced an average
occupancy rate of 66% and an average room rate of $59.71, compared to an average
occupancy rate of 62% and an average room rate of $57.57 in fiscal 1994. Seven
of the hotels registered improved occupancy rates and eight of the hotels
registered higher average room rates in the most recent fiscal year. Adjusted
for the inclusion of the new hotel acquired on November 30, 1994, the hotel
portfolio experienced an average room rate of $60.82 and an average occupancy
rate of 67% during the most recent fiscal year. Subsequent to September 30,
1995, the Real Estate Trust sold a hotel which had experienced average occupancy
rates and average room rates considerably below those of the other properties in
the portfolio for the past several years.
BANKING
GENERAL. The Bank recorded operating income of $55.7 million during fiscal
1995, compared to operating income of $53.2 million in fiscal 1994. The
increase in income for fiscal 1995 resulted primarily from the continued
expansion of the Bank's credit card program and other loan products and
services, which contributed to the $114.4 million increase in loan servicing
fees over the prior year. The operating results for the current year also
reflected an increase in net interest income. The positive effect of these
items on income was partially offset by a $52.1 million increase in operating
expenses and a $25.8 million increase in the provision for loan losses resulting
from increased consumer and credit card loan originations. See "Results of
Operations."
63
<PAGE>
At September 30, 1995, the Bank's tangible, core, tier 1 risk-based and
total risk-based regulatory capital ratios were 5.77%, 5.77%, 6.65% and 11.63%,
respectively. The Bank's capital ratios exceeded the requirements under FIRREA
as well as the standards established for "well capitalized" institutions under
the prompt corrective action regulations issued pursuant to FDICIA. On the
basis of its balance sheet at September 30, 1995, the Bank met the
FIRREA-mandated fully phased-in capital requirements and, on a fully phased-in
basis, met the capital standards established for "well capitalized" institutions
under the prompt corrective action regulations. See "Capital."
Effective July 1, 1995, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS
122"), an amendment of SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking
Activities." SFAS 122 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize, as
separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those
servicing rights are acquired. SFAS 122 also requires that a mortgage banking
enterprise evaluate its mortgage servicing rights for impairment based upon fair
value. See "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - The Bank" in the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 119"), was issued in October 1994. This
new statement requires certain disclosures about financial derivatives,
including amounts, nature and terms of the instruments. Disclosures required by
SFAS 119 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 1994 and are
therefore reflected in the Bank's audited financial statements. See "Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies - The Bank" in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in this report.
The Bank's assets are subject to review and classification by the OTS upon
examination. The OTS is currently conducting an examination of the Bank.
ASSET QUALITY. Non-Performing Assets. The Bank's level of non-performing
assets continued to decline during fiscal 1995. The following table sets forth
information concerning the Bank's non-performing assets at the dates indicated.
The figures shown are after charge-offs and, in the case of real estate acquired
in settlement of loans, after all valuation allowances.

(4) In November 1995, the Bank sold approximately 2,000 residential lots in
the Communities to a single purchaser. If this sale had occurred prior to
September 30, 1995, the ratio of non-performing assets, net to total assets
would have been 2.80% at September 30, 1995. See "Disposition of REO."

<PAGE>
Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans (loans contractually past
due 90 days or more or with respect to which other factors indicate that full
payment of principal and interest is unlikely), non-accrual real estate held for
investment ("non-accrual REI"), and real estate acquired in settlement of loans,
either through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or pursuant to
in-substance foreclosure (prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," in fiscal 1994).
Non-performing assets totaled $247.2 million, after valuation allowances on
REO of $135.0 million, at September 30, 1995, compared to $311.9 million, after
valuation allowances on REO of $109.1 million, at September 30, 1994. In
addition to the valuation allowances on REO, the Bank maintained $2.3 million of
valuation allowances on its non-accrual loans at September 30, 1995, compared to
$4.0 million of valuation allowances on its non-accrual loans and non-accrual
real estate held for investment at September 30, 1994. The decrease in
non-performing assets was primarily attributable to a net decrease in REO of
$58.7 million. During fiscal 1995, non-accrual REI with a balance of $6.7
million at September 30, 1995 was transferred to REO. See "Real Estate Held for
Investment."
The Bank's non-performing real estate assets, which include non-accrual
real estate loans, REO and non-accrual REI, totaled $228.0 million at September
30, 1995, or 92.2% of total non-performing assets at that date. As shown in the
following table, the Bank's non-performing real estate assets, after valuation
allowances on such assets, have declined from their peak of $567.6 million in
February 1992 to $227.6 million at September 30, 1995, reflecting both
additional write-downs on non-performing assets during that period and, in more
recent periods, asset sales.

(4) In November, 1995, the Bank sold approximately 2,000 residential lots in
the Communities to a single purchaser. If this sale had occurred prior to
September 30, 1995, total non-performing assets would have been $178.9
million. See "Disposition of REO."
At September 30, 1995, $209.5 million or 91.9% of the Bank's total
non-performing real estate assets related to residential real estate properties,
including the Bank's Communities. The Bank has disposed of the majority of its
commercial REO and is continuing to effect the orderly disposition of the
remainder of its REO. See "REO" and "Disposition of REO."
NON-ACCRUAL LOANS. The Bank's non-accrual loans totaled $28.0 million at
September 30, 1995, compared to $25.0 million at September 30, 1994. At
September 30, 1995, non-accrual loans consisted primarily of $8.8 million of
non-accrual real estate loans and $18.6 million of non-accrual credit card
loans.
At September 30, 1995, the $18.6 million of non-accrual credit card loans
were classified for regulatory purposes as substandard and disclosed as
non-performing assets because they were 90 days or more past due. At that date,
68
<PAGE>
the Bank also had $14.8 million of credit card loans classified for regulatory
purposes as substandard which were not either non-performing assets (i.e.,
credit card loans which are 90 days or more past due) or potential problem
assets. The amount classified as substandard but not non-performing assets
($14.8 million) primarily related to accounts for which the customers have
agreed to modified payment terms, but which were 30-89 days past due. Of the
$14.8 million, $3.7 million was current, $6.4 million was 30-59 days past due
and $4.7 million was 60-89 days past due at September 30, 1995. All delinquent
amounts are included in the table of delinquent loans under "Delinquent Loans."
NON-ACCRUAL REI. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had no non-accrual REI.
At September 30, 1994, a participating loan to a developer with a balance of
$8.9 million, before valuation allowances of $2.0 million, was non-performing.
During fiscal 1995, this loan with a balance of $6.7 million at September 30,
1995 was transferred to REO. See "Real Estate Held for Investment."
REO. At September 30, 1995, the Bank's REO totaled $219.2 million, after
valuation allowances on such assets of $135.0 million. The principal component
of REO consists of the Communities, which had an aggregate book value of $162.0
million at that date. Four of the Communities are under active development.
During fiscal 1995, REO decreased $58.7 million. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the sale of three retail center properties and two
commercial ground properties and sales of residential lots or units in the
Communities and other smaller residential properties. This decrease was
partially offset by the transfer from REI to REO of a participating loan to a
developer referred to above under "Non-accrual REI." The transfer resulted from
the Bank's acquisition of title to the property. See "Disposition of REO."
The Bank capitalizes costs relating to development and improvement of REO.
Interest costs are capitalized on real estate properties under development. See
"Disposition of REO" and "Allowances for Losses." The Bank capitalized interest
in the amount of $4.5 million in fiscal 1995, of which $4.4 million was related
to the Bank's four active Communities.
DISPOSITION OF REO. During fiscal 1995, the Bank received proceeds of
approximately $90.1 million upon the disposition of REO consisting of three
retail centers ($10.1 million), two commercial ground properties ($1.8 million),
1,347 residential lots or units in the Communities and other smaller residential
properties ($72.1 million), approximately 3.2 acres of land in three of the
Communities ($1.7 million) and various single-family residential properties
($4.4 million).
The Bank's objective with respect to its REO is to sell such properties as
expeditiously as possible and in a manner which will best preserve the value of
the Bank's assets. The Bank's ability to achieve this objective will depend on
a number of factors, some of which are beyond its control, such as the general
economic conditions in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. In addition,
under its written agreement with OTS, the Bank is required to make every effort
to reduce its exposure in certain of its real estate development properties,
including the four active Communities. In accordance with this requirement,
management of the Bank is pursuing several strategies. First, the Bank has
focused its efforts on marketing building lots directly to homebuilders. The
Bank is proceeding with lot development to meet the requirements of existing and
new contracts with builders. Second, the Bank continues to seek and negotiate
with potential purchasers of retail and commercial ground in the Communities.
Third, the Bank continues to seek potential investors concerning the possibility
of larger scale or bulk purchases of ground at the Communities.
The following table sets forth information about the Bank's REO at
September 30, 1995.

On November 13, 1995, the Bank sold its remaining residential lots
(approximately 2,000 lots) in two of its Communities at an amount that
approximated its net carrying value, after utilization of applicable valuation
allowances. The impact of the transaction was to reduce REO, net of all
valuation allowances, by $49.2 million. In connection with this sale, the Bank
provided financing of $33.4 million net of participations.
At September 30, 1995 and before the November sale discussed above, the
four active Communities consisted of 12,928 residential lots or units and 197.6
acres of land designated for retail use. At September 30, 1995, 9,273
residential units (71.7%) had been sold to builders, consisting of 8,170 units
(63.2%) which had been settled and 1,103 units (8.5%) which were under contract
and pending settlement. At the same date, approximately 115.0 acres (58.2%) of
retail land had been sold to developers, including 26.5 acres which were under
contract and pending settlement. In addition, at September 30, 1995, the Bank
was engaged in discussions with potential purchasers regarding the sale of
additional residential units and retail land.
The rate of residential lot sales in the Bank's four active Communities
increased 31.6% to 1,298 lots during fiscal 1995 from 986 lots during the prior
year. The rate of home sales in the Bank's four active Communities declined to
944 units during fiscal 1995 from 1,370 units during fiscal 1994. The decline
in home sales in the four active Communities is consistent with changes in
general economic conditions.
The Bank will continue to make financing available to homebuilders and home
purchasers in an attempt to facilitate sales of lots in the remaining two
Communities under active development. The following table presents, at the
periods indicated, the outstanding balances of loans provided by the Bank
(subsequent to its acquisition of title to the properties) to facilitate sales
of lots in such Communities.

held for sale at September 30, 1995, September 30, 1994 and September 30,
1993, respectively.
The Bank anticipates that it will provide construction financing for
approximately 20% of the remaining unsold lot inventory in the Communities. The
Bank also expects that it will provide permanent financing for approximately 25%
of the homes to be sold in the Communities. The Bank's current policy is to
sell all such single-family loans for which it provides permanent financing. At
September 30, 1995, $2.3 million of such loans are classified as held for sale
and generally are expected to be sold in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
In furtherance of its objective of facilitating sales, the Bank has
continued to develop some of the Communities. The following table presents the
net decrease in the balances of the five Communities for the periods indicated.

The Bank currently anticipates that sales proceeds will continue to exceed
development costs in future periods. The sale of the 2,000 residential lots in
two of the Bank's Communities consummated in November 1995 eliminates the
requirement for the Bank to incur additional substantial costs related to these
lots. In the event development costs exceed sales proceeds in future periods,
the Bank believes that adequate funds will be available from its primary
liquidity sources to fund such costs. See "Liquidity."
In addition to the four active Communities, REO includes a fifth Community,
consisting of approximately 2,400 acres, in Loudoun County, Virginia, which is
in the pre-development stage and was to be developed into approximately 4,200
residential units at September 30, 1995. At September 30, 1995, this property
had a book value of $23.8 million, after valuation allowances. Subsequent to
September 30, 1995, a zoning agreement was amended which increased the number of
authorized residential units from 4,200 units to 6,200 units.
Under its written agreement with the OTS, the Bank may not increase its
investments in certain of its large REO properties beyond levels existing at
71
<PAGE>
September 30, 1991 without OTS approval. In addition, in accordance with the OTS
extension of the five-year holding period for certain of its REO, the Bank is
required to submit a quarterly status report. See "Capital - Regulatory Action
and Requirements."
The Bank will continue to monitor closely its major non-performing and
potential problem assets in light of current and anticipated market conditions.
The Bank's asset workout group focuses its efforts in resolving these problem
assets as expeditiously as possible. The Bank does not anticipate any
significant increases in non-performing and potential problem assets.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS. Although not considered non-performing assets,
primarily because the loans are not 90 or more days past due and the borrowers
have not abandoned control of the properties, potential problem assets are
experiencing problems sufficient to cause management to have serious doubts as
to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms. The
majority of the Bank's potential problem assets involve borrowers or properties
experiencing cash flow problems.
At September 30, 1995, potential problem assets totaled $8.2 million,
before valuation allowances of $1.5 million, as compared to $34.1 million,
before valuation allowances of $11.2 million, at September 30, 1994. The $25.9
million decrease in potential problem assets was primarily attributable to $12.5
million of loans incurred by borrowers whose financial condition is such that
management no longer has serious doubts as to such borrowers' ability to comply
with present repayment terms. The repayment of one residential ground loan with
a principal balance of $8.8 million, the repayment of one commercial
collateralized loan with a principal balance of $1.7 million and other net
principal reductions of $2.9 million also contributed to the decrease in
potential problem assets.
DELINQUENT LOANS. At September 30, 1995, delinquent loans totaled $39.7
million (or 1.3% of loans) compared to $31.8 million (or 1.2% of loans) at
September 30, 1994. The following table sets forth information regarding the
Bank's delinquent loans at September 30, 1995.

Mortgage loans classified as delinquent 30-59 days includes one residential
construction loan with a principal balance of $1.5 million. The remaining
balance of loans delinquent 30-89 days consists of single-family permanent
residential mortgage loans and home equity credit line loans. The increase in
total delinquent mortgage loans, from $4.3 million at September 30, 1994 to $6.0
million at September 30, 1995, was primarily attributable to the decline in the
financial condition of one borrower whose residential construction loan, with a
principal balance of $1.5 million, became 30-59 days delinquent during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.
72
<PAGE>
Non-mortgage loans (principally credit card loans) delinquent 30-89 days
increased to $33.7 million at September 30, 1995 from $27.5 million at September
30, 1994, but decreased as a percentage of total non-mortgage loans outstanding
to 2.4% at September 30, 1995 from 2.7% at September 30, 1994.
TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS. A troubled debt restructuring occurs when
the Bank agrees to modify significant terms of a loan in favor of the borrower
when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The following table
sets forth loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings, before deduction
of valuation allowances, at the dates indicated.

At September 30, 1995, loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings
included two commercial permanent loans with principal balances totaling $13.2
million, one residential ground loan with a principal balance of $3.4 million
and one commercial collateralized loan with a principal balance of $0.7 million.
The $11.8 million decrease in loans accounted for as troubled debt
restructurings from September 30, 1994 resulted from the principal repayment of
one residential ground loan with a principal balance of $8.8 million, which was
accounted for as a troubled-debt restructuring and classified as a potential
problem asset at September 30, 1994 and other net principal reductions. At
September 30, 1995, the Bank had commitments to lend $1.1 million of additional
funds on loans that have been restructured.
REAL ESTATE HELD FOR INVESTMENT. At September 30, 1995, real estate held
for investment consisted of two properties with an aggregate book value of $3.6
million, net of valuation allowances of $0.2 million, as compared to seven
properties with an aggregate book value of $52.7 million, net of accumulated
depreciation of $13.6 million and valuation allowances of $9.9 million at
September 30, 1994. During fiscal 1995, the Bank sold two apartment buildings
previously classified as real estate held for investment which had an aggregate
net book value of $25.4 million and recognized a net gain of $5.4 million, and
sold its limited partnership interest in an office building which resulted in a
net gain of $4.5 million. Also during the current year, a loan to a developer
with a profit participation feature was transferred to REO and an office
building was transferred to property and equipment.
ALLOWANCES FOR LOSSES. The following tables show loss experience by asset
type and the components of the allowance for losses on loans and the allowance
for losses on real estate held for investment or sale. These tables reflect

The Bank maintains valuation allowances for estimated losses on loans and
real estate. The Bank's total valuation allowances for losses on loans and real
estate held for investment or sale increased by $26.5 million from the level at
September 30, 1994 to $195.7 million at September 30, 1995. The $26.5 million
increase was primarily attributable to increased valuation allowances on the
Communities and credit card loans. During fiscal 1995, the Bank recorded net
charge-offs of $13.0 million on loans secured by real estate and real estate
held for investment or sale and provided an additional $26.0 million of
valuation allowances on these assets.
The following table shows valuation allowances for losses on performing and
non-performing assets at the dates indicated.

</TABLE>
The allowance for losses on loans secured by real estate and real estate
held for investment or sale totaled $146.1 million at September 30, 1995, which
constituted 40.2% of total non-performing real estate assets, before valuation
allowances. This amount represented a $13.0 million increase from the September
30, 1994 level of $133.1 million, or 32.9% of total non-performing real estate
assets, before valuation allowances at that date.
Beginning October 1, 1994, the Bank has provided additional general
valuation allowances which are equal to, or exceed, the amount of the net
earnings generated by the development and sale of land in the Communities.
During fiscal 1995, the Bank provided an additional $16.1 million of general
valuation allowances against its Communities pursuant to this policy.
When real estate collateral securing an extension of credit is initially
recorded as REO, it is recorded at the lower of cost or written down to fair
value, less estimated selling costs, on the basis of an appraisal. Such initial
write-downs represent management's best estimate of exposure to the Bank at the
time that the collateral becomes REO and in effect substitutes for valuation
allowances that would otherwise be recorded if the collateral had not become
REO. As circumstances change, it may be necessary to provide additional
valuation allowances based on new information. Depending on the nature of the
information, these new valuation allowances may be valuation allowances, which
reflect additional impairment with respect to a specific asset, or may be
unallocated valuation allowances, which provide protection against changes in
asset valuation factors. The allowance for losses on real estate held for sale
at September 30, 1995 is in addition to approximately $57.9 million of
cumulative charge-offs previously taken against assets remaining in the Bank's
portfolio at September 30, 1995.
The Bank from time to time obtains updated appraisals on its real estate
acquired in settlement of loans. As a result of such updated appraisals, the
Bank could be required to increase its valuation allowances.
Net charge-offs of credit card loans for fiscal 1995 were $39.0 million,
compared to $42.2 million for fiscal 1994. The decrease in net charge-offs
resulted primarily from increased securitization activity of such loans. The
allowance at any balance sheet date relates only to receivable balances that
exist as of that date. Because of the nature of a revolving credit card
account,
79
<PAGE>
the cardholder may enter into transactions (such as retail purchases and cash
advances) subsequent to a balance sheet date which increase the outstanding
balance of the account. Accordingly, charge-offs in any fiscal period relate
both to balances that existed at the beginning of the period and to balances
created during the period, and may therefore exceed the levels of valuation
allowances established at the beginning of the fiscal period.
The allowance for losses on credit card loans increased to $46.3 million at
September 30, 1995 from $34.5 million at September 30, 1994, primarily because
of the increased volume of credit card loans. The ratios of the allowance for
such losses to non-performing credit card loans and to outstanding credit card
loans were 249.5% and 4.6%, respectively, at September 30, 1995, compared to
212.8% and 5.3%, respectively, at September 30, 1994.
The allowance for losses on consumer and other loans increased to $3.3
million at September 30, 1995 from $1.6 million at September 30, 1994, primarily
because of the increased volume of consumer and other loans. The ratios of the
allowances for losses on consumer and other loans to non-performing consumer and
other loans and to outstanding consumer and other loans increased to 553.1% and
0.8%, respectively, at September 30, 1995 from 319.3% and 0.4%, respectively, at
September 30, 1994.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT. A key element of banking is the monitoring
and management of liquidity risk and interest-rate risk. The process of
planning and controlling asset and liability mixes, volumes and maturities to
stabilize the net interest spread is referred to as asset and liability
management. The objective of asset and liability management is to maximize the
net interest yield within the constraints imposed by prudent lending and
investing practices, liquidity needs and capital planning.
The Bank is pursuing an asset-liability management strategy to control its
risk from changes in market interest rates principally by originating
interest-sensitive loans for its portfolio. In furtherance of this strategy,
the Bank emphasizes the origination and retention of ARMs, adjustable-rate home
equity credit line loans and adjustable-rate credit card loans. At September
30, 1995, adjustable-rate loans accounted for 79.1% of total loans, of which
44.7% (including all credit card loans) will adjust in one year or less.
In recent periods, the Bank's policy has generally been to sell all of its
long-term fixed-rate mortgage production, thereby reducing its exposure to
market interest rate fluctuations typically associated with long-term fixed-rate
lending.
A traditional measure of interest-rate risk within the banking industry is
the interest sensitivity "gap," which is the sum of all interest-earning assets
minus all interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing within the same
period. A negative gap like that shown below for the Bank implies that, if
market interest rates rise, the Bank's average cost of funds will increase more
rapidly than the concurrent increase in the average yield on interest-earning
assets. In a period of rising market interest rates, a negative gap implies
that the differential effect on the average yield on interest-earning assets and
the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities will decrease the Bank's net
interest spread and thereby adversely affect the Bank's operating results.
Conversely, in a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap may result
in an increase in the Bank's net interest spread. This analysis assumes a
parallel shift in interest rates for instruments of different maturities and
does not reflect the possibility that retail deposit pricing changes may lag
those of wholesale market funds which, in a period of rising interest rates,
might serve to mitigate the decline in net interest spread.
The Bank views control over interest rate sensitivity as a key element in
its financial planning process and monitors its interest rate sensitivity
through
80
<PAGE>
its forecasting system. The Bank manages its interest rate exposure and will
narrow or widen its gap, depending on its perception of interest rate movements
and the composition of its balance sheet. For the reasons discussed above, the
Bank might take action to narrow its gap if it believes that market interest
rates will experience a significant prolonged increase, and might widen its gap
if it believes that market interest rates will decline or remain relatively
stable. A number of asset and liability management strategies are available to
the Bank in structuring its balance sheet. These include selling or retaining
certain portions of the Bank's current residential mortgage loan production;
altering the Bank's pricing on certain deposit products to emphasize or
de-emphasize particular maturity categories; altering the type and maturity of
securities acquired for the Bank's investment portfolio when replacing
securities following normal portfolio maturation and turnover; lengthening or
shortening the maturity or repricing terms for any current period asset
securitizations; and altering the maturity or interest rate reset profile of
borrowed funds, if any, including funds borrowed from the FHLB of Atlanta.
The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at September 30, 1995,
which reflects management's estimate of mortgage loan prepayments and
amortization and provisions for adjustable interest rates. 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 the Bank's loans
based on recent actual experience. Statement savings and passbook accounts with
balances under $20,000 are classified based upon management's assumed attrition
rate of 17.5%, and those with balances of $20,000 or more, as well as all NOW
accounts, are assumed to be subject to repricing within six months or less.

<PAGE>
The one-year gap, as a percentage of total assets, was a negative 17.0% at
September 30, 1995, compared to a negative 27.1% at September 30, 1994. As
noted above, the Bank's negative one-year gap might adversely affect the Bank's
net interest spread and earnings if interest rates rise and the Bank is unable
to take steps to reduce its gap. The improvement in the Bank's one-year gap was
primarily attributable to an increase in short-term assets at September 30, 1995
resulting from the scheduled securitizations and sales of credit card and
automobile loan receivables.
During fiscal 1995, the Bank purchased a series of interest rate caps which
management believes will limit significantly its exposure to rising short-term
interest rates during a four-year period beginning July 1, 1995 and ending June
30, 1999. The initial level of the protection was a notional principal amount
of $600 million, and such protection will decline to $200 million by March 31,
1998. The remaining $200 million of protection will expire on June 30, 1999.
In the event that the one-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") exceeds
7.00% on certain predetermined dates, the Bank is entitled to receive
compensatory payments from the cap provider, which is a counterparty receiving
the highest investment rating from Standard & Poor's Corporation. Such payments
would be equal to the product of (a) the amount by which the one-month LIBOR
rate exceeds 7.00% and (b) the then outstanding notional principal amount for a
predetermined period of time. The Bank has no obligation to make payments to
the provider of the cap or any other party.
In addition to gap measurements, the Bank measures and manages
interest-rate risk with the extensive use of computer simulation. This
simulation includes calculations of Market Value of Portfolio Equity and Net
Interest Margin as promulgated by the OTS's Thrift Bulletin 13.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank would not have been required to maintain
additional amounts of risk-based capital had the interest-rate risk component of
the OTS capital regulations been in effect. See "Business - Banking -
Regulation - Regulatory Capital."
INFLATION. The impact of inflation on the Bank is different from the
impact on an industrial company, because substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. The most direct impact of an
extended period of inflation would be to increase interest rates, and to place
upward pressure on the operating expenses of the Bank. However, the actual
effect of inflation on the net interest income of the Bank would depend on the
extent to which the Bank was able to maintain a spread between the average yield
on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities,
which would depend to a significant extent on its asset-liability sensitivity.
The effect of inflation on the Bank's results of operations for the past three
fiscal years has been minimal.
DEFERRED TAX ASSET. At September 30, 1995, the Bank recorded a net
deferred tax asset of $42.0 million, which generally represents the cumulative
excess of the Bank's actual income tax liability over its income tax expense for
financial reporting purposes. This net deferred tax asset is reported on the
Bank's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").
TAX SHARING PAYMENTS. During fiscal 1995, after receiving OTS approval,
the Bank made tax sharing payments totaling $20.5 million to the Trust. The
Bank made an additional tax sharing payment of $10.0 million subsequent to
September 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
REAL ESTATE
GENERAL. The Real Estate Trust's primary cash requirements fall into four
categories: operating expenses (exclusive of interest on outstanding debt),
capital improvements, interest on outstanding debt and repayment of outstanding
debt.
Historically, the Real Estate Trust's total cash requirements have exceeded
the cash generated by its operations. This condition is expected to continue
for the foreseeable future. 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 ("Unsecured Notes") sold
to the public, the payment of interest on its Senior Secured Notes, and the
payment of capital improvement costs. In the past, the Real Estate Trust had
funded such shortfalls through a combination of external funding sources,
primarily new financings (including the sale of Unsecured Notes), refinancings
of maturing mortgage debt, asset sales and tax sharing payments from the Bank.
See the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated
Financial Statements in this report.
The Real Estate Trust's current program of public Unsecured Note sales was
initiated in the 1970's as a vehicle for supplementing other external funding
sources. In fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust sold $8.0 million of Unsecured
Notes. The table under "Recent Liquidity Trends" below provides information at
September 30, 1995 with respect to the maturities of Unsecured Notes
outstanding at such date.
RECENT LIQUIDITY TRENDS. In fiscal 1994, the Real Estate Trust refinanced
a significant portion of its outstanding secured indebtedness with the proceeds
of the issuance of $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11 5/8% Senior
Secured Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). See Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. The Indenture pursuant to
which the Senior Secured Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other
things, restrict the ability of the Trust and/or its subsidiaries (excluding, in
most cases, the Bank and the Bank's subsidiaries) to incur additional
indebtedness, make investments, sell assets or pay dividends and make other
distributions to holders of the Trust's capital stock.
In fiscal 1995, the Trust purchased 501,000 shares of common stock of Saul
Centers (representing 4.2% of such company's outstanding common stock) for
approximately $7.8 million. These shares have been deposited with the Trustee
for the Senior Secured Notes to satisfy in part the collateral requirements for
those securities, thereby permitting release to the Trust of a portion of the
cash on deposit with the Trustee.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust established a
$15.0 million secured revolving credit line with an unrelated bank. This
facility is for a two-year period and may be extended for one or more additional
one-year terms. Interest is computed by reference to a floating rate index. As
collateral for the facility, the Real Estate Trust has pledged 30.5% of its
partnership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership. At September 30, 1995,
borrowings under the facility were $500,000 and unrestricted availability was
$14.5 million.
The Real Estate Trust is currently selling Unsecured Notes principally to
provide funds to pay outstanding Unsecured Notes as they mature. In paying
maturing Unsecured Notes with proceeds of Unsecured Note sales, the Real Estate
Trust effectively is refinancing its outstanding Unsecured Notes with similar
new unsecured debt at the lower interest rates prevailing in today's market. To
the
84
<PAGE>
degree that the Real Estate Trust does not sell new Unsecured Notes in an amount
sufficient to finance completely the scheduled repayment of outstanding
Unsecured Notes as they mature, it will finance such repayments from other
sources of funds.
The maturity schedule for the Real Estate Trust's outstanding debt at
September 30, 1995 for the fiscal years commencing October 1, 1995 is set forth
in the following table:

</TABLE>
Of the $184.5 million of mortgage debt outstanding at September 30,
1995, $137.5 million was nonrecourse to the Real Estate Trust.
The Real Estate Trust believes that its capital improvement costs in the
next several fiscal years will be in range of $5.0 to $8.0 million per year.
The Real Estate Trust's ability to meet its liquidity needs, including debt
service payments in fiscal 1996 and subsequent years, will depend in significant
part on its receipt of dividends from the Bank and tax sharing payments from the
Bank pursuant to the tax sharing agreement among the Trust, the Bank, and their
subsidiaries. The availability and amount of tax sharing payments and dividends
in future periods is dependent upon, among other things, the Bank's operating
performance and income, regulatory restrictions on such payments and (in the
case of tax sharing payments) the continued consolidation of the Bank and the
Bank's subsidiaries with the Trust for federal income tax purposes.
The Real Estate Trust believes that the improved financial condition and
operating results of the Bank in recent periods should enhance prospects for the
Real Estate Trust of receiving tax sharing payments and dividends from the Bank.
The Bank made tax sharing payments of $20.5 million to the Real Estate Trust
during fiscal 1995. Under the terms of the Bank's written agreement with the
OTS, any tax sharing payments by the Bank must approved by the OTS. Subsequent
to September 30, 1995, the OTS approved, and the Bank made, a tax sharing
payment of $10.0 million to the Real Estate Trust.
The Real Estate Trust to date has not relied on cash dividends from Chevy
Chase to meet its cash needs. OTS regulations tie Chevy Chase's ability to pay
dividends to specific levels of regulatory capital and earnings. See "Business
- - Banking - Regulation - Dividends and Other Capital Distributions."
As the owner, directly and through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, of a
21.5% limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings Partnership, the Real Estate
Trust will share in cash distributions from operations and from capital
transactions involving the sale or refinancing of the properties of Saul
Holdings Partnership. The partnership agreement of Saul Holdings Partnership
provides for quarterly cash distributions to the partners out of net cash flow.
See "Business - Real Estate - Investment in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership."
In fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust received total cash distributions of
$5.45 million from Saul Holdings Partnership.

BANKING
LIQUIDITY. The standard measure of liquidity in the savings industry is
the ratio of cash and short-term U.S. Government and other specified securities
to net withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less.
The OTS has established a minimum liquidity requirement, which may vary
from time to time depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows. The
required liquidity level is currently 5.0%. The Bank's average liquidity ratio
for the month ended September 30, 1995 was 17.5%, compared to 18.6% for the
month ended September 30, 1994. The Bank met the liquidity level requirements
for each month of fiscal 1995.
The Bank's primary sources of funds historically have consisted of (i)
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, (ii)
savings deposits, (iii) sales of loans and trading securities, (iv)
securitizations and sales of loans and (v) borrowed funds (including funds
borrowed from the FHLB of Atlanta). The Bank's holdings of readily marketable
securities constitute another important source of liquidity. At September 30,
1995, the Bank's portfolio included mortgage loans, U.S. Government securities
and mortgage-backed securities with outstanding principal balances of $1.0
billion, $4.4 million and $877.6 million, respectively. The estimated borrowing
capacity against mortgage loans, U.S. Government securities and mortgage-backed
securities that are available to be pledged to the FHLB of Atlanta and various
security dealers totaled $1.4 billion at September 30, 1995, after market-value
and other adjustments.
In recent periods, the proceeds from sales of credit card relationships and
other assets and securitization and sale of credit card, home equity credit line
and automobile loan receivables have been significant sources of liquidity for
the Bank. The Bank securitized and sold $1.6 billion of credit card
receivables, $252.2 million of automobile loan receivables and $150.5 million of
home equity credit line receivables during fiscal 1995. Additionally, during
fiscal 1995, the Bank securitized and sold $59.2 million of amounts on deposit
in certain spread accounts established in connection with certain of the Bank's
outstanding credit card securitizations. At September 30, 1995, the Bank was
considering the securitization and sale of the following receivables: (i)
approximately $750.0 million of credit card receivables, including $300.0
million of receivables outstanding at September 30, 1995 and $450.0 million of
receivables which the Bank expects to become available, either through
additional fundings or amortization of existing trusts, during the six months
ending March 31, 1996; (ii) approximately $250.0 million of automobile loan
receivables, including $200.0 million of receivables outstanding at September
30, 1995 and $50.0 million of receivables which the Bank expects to become
available through additional fundings during the six months ending March 31,
1996; and (iii) approximately $30.0 million of amounts on deposit in certain
spread accounts during the six months ending March 31, 1996. As part of its
operating strategy, the Bank will continue to explore opportunities to sell
assets and to securitize and sell credit card, home equity credit line and
automobile loan receivables to meet liquidity and other balance sheet
objectives.
The Bank uses its liquidity primarily to meet its commitments to fund
maturing savings certificates and deposit withdrawals, fund existing and
continuing loan commitments, repay borrowings and meet operating expenses. For
fiscal 1995, the Bank used the cash provided by operating, investing and
financing activities primarily to meet its commitments to fund maturing savings
certificates and deposit withdrawals of $13.9 billion, repay borrowings of $3.3
billion, fund existing and continuing loan commitments (including real estate
held for investment or sale) of $2.9 billion, purchase investments and loans of
$195.6 million and meet operating expenses, before depreciation and
amortization, of $271.7 million. These commitments were funded primarily
through proceeds from customer deposits and sales of certificates of deposit of
$14.1 billion, proceeds
86
<PAGE>
from borrowings of $3.4 billion, proceeds from sales of loans, trading
securities and real estate of $2.6 billion, and principal and interest collected
on investments, loans, mortgage-backed securities and securities of $744.3
million.
The Bank is obligated under various recourse provisions related to the
securitization and sale of credit card, home equity credit line and automobile
loan receivables. Of the $3.9 billion of outstanding trust certificate balances
at September 30, 1995, the primary recourse to the Bank was approximately $93.1
million.
The Bank also is obligated under various recourse provisions related to the
swap of single-family residential loans for participation certificates issued to
the Bank by FHLMC. At September 30, 1995, recourse to the Bank under these
arrangements was approximately $4.4 million.
The Bank's commitments at September 30, 1995 are set forth in the following

</TABLE>
Based on historical experience, the Bank expects to fund substantially less
than the total amount of its outstanding credit card and home equity credit line
commitments, which together accounted for 97.7% of commitments at September 30,
1995.
At September 30, 1995, repayments of borrowed money scheduled to occur
during the next 12 months were $152.7 million. Certificates of deposit maturing
during the next 12 months amounted to $885.8 million, of which a substantial
portion is expected to remain with the Bank.
There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at
September 30, 1995.
The Bank's liquidity requirements in years subsequent to fiscal 1995 will
continue to be affected both by the asset size of the Bank, the growth of which
will be constrained by capital and other regulatory requirements, and the
composition of the asset portfolio. Management believes that the Bank's primary
sources of funds, described above, will be sufficient to meet the Bank's
foreseeable long-term liquidity needs. The mix of funding sources utilized from
time to time will be determined by a number of factors, including capital
planning objectives, lending and investment strategies and market conditions.

CAPITAL. At September 30, 1995, the Bank was in compliance with all of its
regulatory capital requirements under FIRREA, and its capital ratios exceeded
the ratios established for "well capitalized" institutions under OTS prompt
corrective action regulations. On the basis of its September 30, 1995 balance
sheet, the Bank also would meet the fully phased-in capital requirements under
FIRREA that will apply as certain deductions from capital are phased in and,
after giving effect to those deductions, would meet the capital standards for
"well capitalized" institutions under the prompt corrective action regulations.
The following table shows the Bank's regulatory capital levels at
September 30, 1995 in relation to the regulatory requirements in effect at that
date. The information below is based upon the Bank's understanding of the
regulations and interpretations currently in effect and may be subject to
change.

<PAGE>
REGULATORY ACTION AND REQUIREMENTS. The Bank is subject to a written
agreement with the OTS, as amended in October 1993, which imposes certain
restrictions on the Bank's operations and requires certain affirmative actions
by the Bank. Primarily because of its level of non-performing assets, the Bank
is also subject to restrictions on asset growth. Under the applicable OTS
requirements, the Bank may not increase its total assets during any calendar
quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited on deposit
liabilities during such quarter without prior written approval from the OTS.
The Bank complied with these growth limitations during fiscal 1995.
The Bank has been able to maintain capital compliance in recent periods
despite the gradual phase-out of various assets from regulatory capital. As of
September 30, 1995, the Bank had $45.7 million in supervisory goodwill, all of
which was excluded from core capital, and $29.2 million in equity investments,
all of which was excluded from total risk-based capital, pursuant to phase-outs
that had reached 100%. In addition, at September 30, 1995, the Bank had $3.9
million, after subsequent valuation allowances, of extensions of credit to, and
investments in, subsidiaries engaged in activities impermissible to national
banks ("non-includable subsidiaries") which were subject at that date to a 60%
phase-out from all three FIRREA capital requirements. Pursuant to OTS
guidelines, $3.7 million of general valuation allowances maintained against the
Bank's non-includable subsidiaries and equity investments is available as a
"credit" against the deduction from capital otherwise required for such
investments. The phase-out for non-includable subsidiaries will increase to
100% on July 1, 1996.
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. Accordingly, if the Bank is unable to dispose of any REO property
(through bulk sales or otherwise) prior to the end of its applicable five-year
holding period and is unable to obtain an extension of such five-year holding
period from the OTS, the Bank could be required to deduct the then-current book
value of such REO property from total risk-based capital. In September 1995,
the Bank received from the OTS an extension through September 29, 1996 of the
five-year holding period for certain of its REO properties acquired through
foreclosure in fiscal 1990 and fiscal 1991. The following table sets forth the
Bank's REO at September 30, 1995, after valuation allowances of $135.0 million,
by the fiscal year in which the property was acquired through foreclosure.

<PAGE>
Under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations, an institution is
categorized as "well capitalized" if it has a leverage (or core capital) ratio
of at least 5.0%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0% and is not subject to any written
agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to
meet and maintain a specific capital level. At September 30, 1995, the Bank's
leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 5.77%,
6.65% and 11.63%, respectively, which exceeded the ratios established for "well
capitalized" institutions, and the Bank was not subject to any applicable
written agreement, order or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level. The OTS has the discretion to reclassify an institution from one category
to the next lower category, for example from "well capitalized" to "adequately
capitalized," if, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the OTS
determines that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has
received and has not corrected a less than satisfactory examination rating for
asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity.
The Bank's ability to maintain or increase its capital levels in future
periods will be subject to general economic conditions, particularly in the
Bank's local markets. Adverse general economic conditions or a renewed downturn
in local real estate markets could require further additions to the Bank's
allowances for losses and further charge-offs. Any such developments would
adversely affect the Bank's earnings and thus its regulatory capital levels. In
addition, legislation is expected to be enacted shortly which would require the
Bank to pay as early as January 1, 1996 a one-time assessment estimated to be up
to 85 basis points on its SAIF-insured deposits and thereby reduce the Bank's
regulatory capital levels. See "Business - Banking - Regulation - Pending
Legislation - Balanced Budget Act of 1995."
As a result of these factors, although the Bank's regulatory capital ratios
on a fully phased-in basis at September 30, 1995, would meet the ratios
established for "well capitalized" institutions, there can be no assurance that
the Bank will be able to maintain levels of capital sufficient to continue to
meet the standards for classification as "well capitalized" under the prompt
corrective action standards.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Real Estate Trust's ability to generate revenues from property
ownership and development is significantly influenced by a number of factors,
including national and local economic conditions, the level of mortgage interest
rates, governmental actions (such as changes in real estate tax rates) and the
type, location, size and stage of development of the Real Estate Trust's
properties. Debt service payments and most of the operating expenses associated
with income-producing properties are not decreased by reductions in occupancy or
rental income. Therefore, the ability of the Real Estate Trust to produce net
income in any year from its income-producing properties is highly dependent on
the Real Estate Trust's ability to maintain or increase the properties' levels
of gross income. The relative illiquidity of real estate investments tends to
limit the ability of the Real Estate Trust to vary its portfolio promptly in
response to changes in economic, demographic, social, financial and investment
conditions.
The Bank's operating results historically have depended primarily on its
"net interest spread," which is the difference between the rates of interest
earned on its loans and securities investments and the rates of interest paid on
its deposits and borrowings. In the last three fiscal years, non-interest
income from securitizations of credit card, home equity credit line and
automobile receivables and gains on sales of credit card accounts (or
"relationships"), loans and mortgage-backed securities have had a significant
effect on net income. In addition to interest paid on its interest-bearing
liabilities, the Bank's principal expenses are operating expenses.

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994
REAL ESTATE
The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years ended September 30,
1995, 1994 and 1993, direct operating results for the Real Estate Trust's (i)
office and shopping center properties, (ii) commercial properties, which combine
office and shopping center property results, and (iii) hotel properties. On
August 26, 1993, the Real Estate Trust transferred its 22 shopping center
properties and one of its office properties (the "Transferred Properties") to
Saul Holdings Partnership and a subsidiary limited partnership of Saul Holdings
Partnership in exchange for securities representing a 21.5% limited partnership
interest in Saul Holdings Partnership (the "Saul Centers Transaction"). See
"Business - Real Estate - Investment in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership" and
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. As a result of
the Saul Centers Transaction, the fiscal 1995 and 1994 operating results of
commercial properties, which did not include the Transferred Properties, and the
fiscal 1993 operating results, which included such commercial properties for
less than the entire fiscal year, are not entirely comparable.

(1) Reflects the Real Estate Trust's transfer, in August 1993, of 22 shopping
center properties and one office perperty to Saul Holdings Partnership and a
subsidiary limited partnership of Saul Holdings Partnership.
(2) Includes the results of the Real Estate Trust's acquisition of a
192 room hotel on November 30, 1994.
94
<PAGE>
The Real Estate Trust recorded a loss before depreciation and amortization
of debt expense of $17.2 million and an operating loss of $27.3 million for
fiscal 1995, compared to a loss before depreciation and amortization of debt
expense of $24.0 million and an operating loss of $34.3 million for fiscal 1994.
The improvement was largely attributable to higher income after direct operating
expenses for hotels and office and industrial properties, increased income from
Saul Holdings Partnership and other partnership investments, and recognition of
gain on the condemnation of a portion of a land parcel.
Income after direct operating expenses from commercial properties increased
$1.6 million (15.8%) from such income in fiscal 1994. Gross income increased
$2.0 million (11.9%) in fiscal 1995, while expenses increased $0.4 million
(6.3%). The performance of the office and industrial portfolio was adversely
affected during the first half of fiscal 1994 by vacancies at one of the Atlanta
properties.
Income after direct operating expenses from hotel properties increased $3.9
million (31.9%) in fiscal 1995. Room sales increased by $6.3 million (19.9%) as
a result of increases in both average room rates and average occupancy rates.
The higher occupancy rates contributed to an increase of $1.6 million (14.4%) in
food and beverage sales. Total revenues increased by $8.1 million (17.5%),
while expenses were higher by $4.2 million (12.3%).
Interest expense increased $1.2 million (3.0%) in fiscal 1995, largely as
result of higher average borrowings, which were $403.7 million in fiscal 1995,
compared to $358.4 million during fiscal 1994.
Amortization of debt expense decreased $730,000 (60.5%) in fiscal 1995,
largely due to the amortization of a credit arising from a lender's forgiveness
of debt for a full year as compared to a partial year in fiscal 1994.
Depreciation increased $669,000 (7.4%) in fiscal 1995 as a result of new
tenant improvements, acquisition of a new hotel property and property
renovations.
Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties increased
$583,000 (8.6%) in fiscal 1995. The advisory fee in fiscal 1995 was $292,000
per month, compared to fiscal 1994 monthly fees of $250,000 from October 1993
through March 1994 and $292,000 from April through September 1994. Higher gross
income from hotels and office and industrial properties in fiscal 1995 also
resulted in higher management fees.
General and administrative expense increased $292,000 (14.4%) in fiscal
1995, largely as a result of higher legal costs incurred in litigation with a
tenant.
The fiscal 1995 write-down of real estate to net realizable value reflects
a $1.2 million reduction in the carrying value of a hotel property and a $1.5
million write-off of restaurant assets. The Real Estate Trust sold the hotel
property on October 6, 1995.
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities represents the Real
Estate Trust's share of earnings or losses in its partnership investments. For
fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust recorded earnings of $3.7 million from such
investments, compared to earnings of $1.8 million in the prior year.
BANKING
OVERVIEW. The Bank recorded operating income of $55.7 million for fiscal
1995, compared to operating income of $53.2 million for fiscal 1994. The
increase in income for fiscal 1995 was primarily attributable to a $73.1 million
increase in other (non-interest) income resulting primarily from an increase in
loan
95
<PAGE>
servicing fees and a $7.3 million increase in net interest income. The positive
effect of these items on income was partially offset by a $52.1 million increase
in operating expenses and a $25.8 million increase in the provision for loan
losses.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income, before the provision for loan
losses, increased $7.3 million (or 4.3%) in fiscal 1995. The Bank would have
recorded interest income of $7.2 million in fiscal 1995 if the Bank's
non-accrual assets and restructured loans had been current in accordance with
their original terms. Interest income of $2.0 million was actually recorded on
non-accrual assets and restructured loans during the fiscal year. The Bank's
net interest income in future periods will continue to be adversely affected by
the Bank's non-performing assets. See "Financial Condition - Banking - 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.

<PAGE>
Interest income in fiscal 1995 increased $30.9 million from the level in
fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of higher average balances of loans
receivable. Higher average yields earned by the Bank on all of its
interest-earning asset categories also contributed to the increase in interest
income. The effect on interest income of higher average balances of loans and
higher average yields was offset in part by lower average balances of
mortgage-backed securities.
The Bank's net yield on interest-earning assets increased to 4.24% in
fiscal 1995 from 4.06% in fiscal 1994. The increase primarily resulted from the
upward adjustment of interest rates on certain of the Bank's adjustable-rate
products to reflect increases in market interest rates to which rates on such
products are indexed. The effect of higher yields was offset in part by an
increase in the rates paid by the Bank on its interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets,
increased by $39.2 million (or 15.4%) from fiscal 1994. The increase in
interest income on loans was primarily attributable to higher average balances.
Average balances of consumer loans (other than credit card loans), principally
automobile loans, increased $150.4 million (or 63.6%) in fiscal 1995. The
higher balances were largely responsible for the increase of $15.3 million (or
78.2%) in interest income on consumer loans. Average balances of credit card
loans increased $81.4 million (or 8.9%) during fiscal 1995, largely as a result
of new account originations. The increase in balances of such loans contributed
to an $18.8 million (or 14.0%) increase in interest income from these assets.
Average balances of single-family residential permanent loans increased $68.2
million (or 5.2%) as a result of increased originations of such loans during the
current year. Interest income on these loans increased $10.0 million (or 11.2%)
from fiscal 1994. Average balances of home equity credit line loans declined in
fiscal 1995, largely as a result of the Bank's securitization and sale activity.
The securitization and sale of $181.9 million and $150.5 million of home equity
credit line receivables in September 1994 and 1995, respectively, more than
offset the originations of $128.9 million of such loans during fiscal 1995, and
resulted in a decline of $25.9 million (or 19.1%) in average balances of home
equity credit line receivables.
Higher average yields on the loan portfolio also contributed to the
increase in interest income on loans. The average yield on the loan portfolio
in fiscal 1995 increased by 48 basis points (to 9.92% from 9.44%) from the
average yield in fiscal 1994. An increase in the average yield on credit card
loans to 15.34% from 14.65% and on consumer loans to 8.99% from 8.25%
contributed to the increase in loan portfolio interest income. Increases in the
average yields on single-family residential permanent loans (to 7.20% from
6.81%), home equity credit line loans (to 8.74% from 6.96%), commercial
permanent loans (to 6.78% from 6.37%) and construction loans (to 10.46% from
6.98%) also contributed to the increased income on such assets. The increase in
the average yields on these loans reflected the upward adjustment of interest
rates on such loans to reflect increases in market interest rates to which rates
on such products are indexed.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $10.3 million (or
14.5%) primarily because of lower average balances. The reduced balances in
fiscal 1995 reflected the effects of scheduled principal paydowns and
unscheduled principal prepayments. The negative effect of the lower average
balances was offset in part by an increase in the average interest rates on
these securities to 6.18% from 5.77%, primarily as a result of higher market
interest rates in fiscal 1995.
Other interest income increased by $2.6 million (or 37.1%) in fiscal 1995
primarily as a result of higher average yields on federal funds sold and
securities purchased under agreements to resell, and, to a lesser extent,
Federal Home Loan Bank stock.
100
<PAGE>
Interest expense increased $23.6 million in fiscal 1995 primarily because
of an increase of $23.4 million in interest expense on deposits, the largest
category of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on deposits increased
as a result of an increase in average rates (to 3.84% from 3.31%), which
reflected higher market interest rates in fiscal 1995 and a shift in the
composition of the Bank's deposits to higher yielding certificates of deposit
(average rates on certificates of deposits increased 30.8%, to 5.17% from 3.96%)
as well as, to a lesser extent, an increase in average deposit balances of $63.8
million. See "Financial Condition - Banking - Asset and Liability Management."
The increase in interest expense paid on borrowings was primarily
attributable to an increase in the average cost of these borrowings (to 7.01%
from 5.57%), which reflected higher market interest rates in fiscal 1995. This
was particularly true for securities sold under repurchase agreements for which
the weighted average interest rate increased 226 basis points over the rate for
fiscal 1994. The increase in interest expense resulting from higher interest
rates was partially offset by a $125.1 million decrease in the average balances
of borrowings from $622.0 million for fiscal 1994 to $496.9 million for fiscal
1995.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Bank's provision for loan losses increased
to $55.0 million in fiscal 1995 from $29.2 million in fiscal 1994. The $25.8
million increase over the prior year was attributable to increases of $20.9
million in the provision for losses on credit card loans, $3.5 million in the
provision for losses on consumer loans and $1.4 million in the provision for
losses on real estate loans. The higher provisions on credit card and consumer
loans resulted from increased origination volume of such loans. See "Financial
Condition - Banking - Asset Quality - Allowances for Losses."
OTHER INCOME. The increase in other (non-interest) income to $233.1
million in fiscal 1995 from $160.0 million in fiscal 1994 was primarily
attributable to an increase in loan servicing fees. The positive effect of this
item on other income was partially offset by decreases in most other categories
of non-interest income.
An increase of $77.7 million in excess servicing fees and $32.6 million of
servicing fees earned by the Bank for servicing its portfolios of securitized
credit card loans contributed to an increase of $114.4 million (or 163.7%) in
loan servicing fees. Such excess servicing fees and servicing fees have
increased in recent periods as a result of greater securitization activity by
the Bank.
Credit card fees, consisting of membership fees, late charges, interchange
fees and cash advance charges, decreased $11.2 million (53.2%) in fiscal 1995
from the level in fiscal 1994. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $3.0
million and $9.2 million decrease in late charges and interchange fees,
respectively. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in cash advance
charges as a result of increased account activity, which reflects the increase
in new account originations.
Gain on sales of credit card relationships, loans and mortgage-backed
securities decreased by $17.6 million primarily because the Bank realized a
significant gain from the sale of credit card relationships (or accounts) in
fiscal 1994, but did not consummate any such sale in fiscal 1995.
Gain on sales of mortgage servicing rights decreased by $4.4 million as a
result of a decline in the volume of mortgage servicing rights sold during the
current period. During fiscal 1995 and 1994, the Bank sold the rights to
service mortgage loans with principal balances of approximately $148.1 million
and $383.9 million, respectively.
101
<PAGE>
The $5.9 million decrease in earnings on real estate held for investment or
sale was primarily attributable to an increase of $12.3 million in the provision
for losses on such assets and a decrease of $1.1 million in the operating income
generated by the REO properties. See "Financial Condition - Banking - Asset
Quality - Allowances for Losses." Partially offsetting these items was a $4.1
million increase in partnership earnings recorded on real estate held for
investment and a $3.2 million increase in the gain recorded on sales of the
Bank's REO properties.
The $4.0 million decline in other income was primarily a result of the
establishment of a reserve on a fixed asset. A $6.2 million reserve, previously
established as a reserve against an REI property, was transferred with such
property to property and equipment. See "Financial Condition - Banking - Real
Estate Held for Investment."
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses for fiscal 1995 increased $52.1
million (21.1%) from the level in fiscal 1994. The main components of the
higher operating expenses were increases in salaries and employee benefits, data
processing and other expenses. The $21.0 million increase in salaries and
employee benefits resulted primarily from the addition of staff to the Bank's
credit card operations. The $12.5 million increase in data processing expenses
was principally attributable to an increase in the number of credit card
accounts outstanding and the activity generated by such accounts during fiscal
1995. The $15.6 million increase in other operating expenses was primarily a
result of increased credit card fraud losses during the current period.
FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993
REAL ESTATE
The Real Estate Trust recorded a loss before depreciation and amortization
of debt expense of $24.0 million and an operating loss of $34.3 million for
fiscal 1994, compared to a loss before depreciation and amortization of debt
expense of $29.0 million and an operating loss of $44.5 million for fiscal 1993.
The improvement was largely attributable to the decline in interest expense due
to refinancings and the Saul Centers Transaction and to the absence in fiscal
1994 of a charge comparable to the charge for abandoned development costs of
$13.1 million in fiscal 1993.
Income after direct operating expenses from commercial properties, which
included only office properties in fiscal 1994, decreased $22.2 million (69.3%)
from such income in fiscal 1993, which included income from both shopping
centers and office properties. Because of the Saul Centers Transaction, the
Real Estate Trust received no income from shopping centers in fiscal 1994.
Income after direct operating expenses from commercial properties in the
portfolio during both years increased $61,000 (0.6%). The performance of the
office portfolio in fiscal 1994 was adversely affected by a reduction in rental
income during the first half of the year, although office rents largely
recovered in the last two quarters. Income after direct operating expenses for
office properties increased $442,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 from
the level in the prior corresponding period.
Income after direct operating expenses from hotel properties increased
$284,000 (2.4%) in fiscal 1994. Room sales increased by $1,159,000 (3.8%) as a
result of increases in average room rates. This increase was offset in part by
a decreases in average occupancy rates. The lower occupancy rates contributed
to a decrease of $526,000 (4.4%) in food and beverage sales. Total revenues
increased by $661,000 (1.5%), while expenses were higher by $377,000 (1.1%).
Interest expense decreased $11.1 million (22.0%) in fiscal 1994, largely as
result of the transfer of the mortgage debt associated with the properties
conveyed in the Saul Centers Transaction. Primarily for the same reason,
average

balances of the Real Estate Trust's outstanding borrowings declined to $358.4
million in fiscal 1994 from $452.7 in the prior year.
Amortization of debt expense decreased $1.8 million (60.2%) and
depreciation decreased $3.4 million (27.1%), primarily as a result of the
transfer of properties in the Saul Centers Transaction.
Advisory, management and leasing fees paid to related parties declined
$456,000 (6.3%) in fiscal 1994. The advisory fee in fiscal 1994 was $250,000
per month from October 1993 through March 1994 and $292,000 per month from April
1994 through September 1994, compared to $97,000 per month from October through
December 1992 and $157,000 per month from January through September 1993. The
effect of this increase was offset by decreases in management and leasing fees,
which resulted principally from the transfer of properties in the Saul Centers
Transaction.
General and administrative expense decreased $92,000 (4.3%) in fiscal 1994,
largely because of a reduction in overhead expenses. Legal expense increased
slightly from the fiscal 1993 level.
The fiscal 1994 write-down of real estate to net realizable value reflects
a $1.4 million reduction in the carrying value of a hotel property. The Real
Estate Trust reduced the carrying value of the asset based on management's
evaluation of the hotel's location, recent operating history and unlikely
prospects for a near-term recovery.
Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities represents the Real
Estate Trust's share of earnings or losses in its partnership investments. For
fiscal year 1994 the Real Estate Trust recorded earnings of $1.7 million from
such investments, compared to a loss of $0.7 million in the prior year.
BANKING
OVERVIEW. The Bank recorded operating income of $53.2 million for fiscal
1994, compared to operating income of $63.8 million for fiscal 1993. The
decline in income for fiscal 1994 was primarily attributable to a $58.7 million
increase in operating expenses, a $12.4 million decrease in total net interest
income, a $5.0 million decrease in credit card fees and an $8.9 million decrease
in gain on sale of investment securities. The decrease in income for the year
was offset in part by a $31.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses
and a $29.3 million increase in other (non-interest) income resulting primarily
from a $25.0 million increase in loan and deposit servicing fees and improved
results on real estate held for investment or sale.
The Bank's net income for the 1994 period reflected a $6.3 million
extraordinary loss, net of related income taxes, resulting from the Bank's
redemption of $128.5 million principal amount of subordinated capital debentures
in December 1993. See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this
report.
The Bank adopted SFAS 109 effective October 1, 1993. The cumulative effect
of this change in accounting principle of $5.1 million was recognized as a
benefit in the operating results for fiscal 1994. See "Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies - The Bank" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in this report.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income, before the provision for loan
losses, decreased $12.4 million (or 6.8%) in fiscal 1994, as the average yield
on interest-earning assets decreased at a rate greater than the decrease in the
average rate on interest-bearing liabilities. See "Financial Condition -
Banking - Asset and Liability Management."
103
<PAGE>
The Bank would have recorded interest income of $9.1 million in fiscal 1994
if the Bank's non-accrual assets and restructured loans had current in
accordance with their original terms. Interest income of $2.7 million was
actually recorded on non-accrual assets and restructured loans during the fiscal
year. The Bank's net interest income in future periods will continue to be
adversely affected by the Bank's non-performing assets. See "Financial
Condition - Asset Quality - Non-Performing Assets."
Interest income in fiscal 1994 decreased $14.4 million from the level in
fiscal 1993 as a result of lower average yields earned by the Bank on the
principal categories of its interest-earning assets. The effect of the lower
average yields on interest income was offset in part by higher average balances
of loans receivable and, to a lesser extent, trading securities and other
interest-earning assets.
The Bank's net interest spread declined to 4.42% in fiscal 1994 from 5.16%
in fiscal 1993. The decline reflected the effects of marketing strategies which
included the offering of lower introductory rates for certain loan products,
primarily credit card and home equity credit line loans, and the increased
origination of credit card loans; the higher level of asset securitization
activities; and the downward adjustment of interest rates on certain of the
Bank's adjustable-rate products to reflect previous declines in market interest
rates to which the loan rates on such products are indexed.
Interest income on loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets,
increased by $14.9 million (or 6.2%) from fiscal 1993. The increase in interest
income on loans was attributable to higher average balances of the loan
portfolio. Average balances of single-family residential permanent loans
increased $326.7 million (or 33.0%) as a result of increased origination of such
loans, during the current year. Interest income on these loans increased $17.1
million (or 23.6%) from fiscal 1993. Average balances of credit card loans
increased $82.3 million (or 9.9%) in fiscal 1994, largely as a result of new
account originations in connection with the Bank's resumption of active national
solicitation of credit card accounts. An increase of $11.1 million (or 132.0%)
in interest income on consumer loans (other than credit card loans) was
attributable to increased originations of automobile loans, which resulted in an
increase in the average balances of such consumer loans to 236.5 million from
$89.7 million. Average balances of commercial permanent loans increased $14.4
million (or 18.0%), primarily as a result of an increase in loans made to
purchasers of certain of the Bank's REO in connection with the sales of such
REO. Average balances of home equity credit line loans declined in fiscal 1994,
largely as a result of the Bank's securitization and sale activity. The
securitization and sale of $194.2 million, $146.2 million and $181.9 million of
home equity credit line receivables in December 1992, September 1993 and
September 1994, respectively, contributed to a decline of $19.5 million (or
12.6%) in average balances of home equity credit line receivables, which was
largely responsible for a $1.5 million decline in interest income.
Lower average yields on the loan portfolio partially offset the effect of
higher average balances. The average yield on the loan portfolio in fiscal 1994
decreased by 182 basis points (to 9.44% from 11.26%) from the average yield in
fiscal 1993. Special introductory and promotional interest rates to new and
existing credit card holders contributed to a decline in the average yield on
credit card loans to 14.65% from 17.68% and to a decline of $13.2 million in
interest income on these loans. The average yield on home equity credit line
loans decreased to 6.96% from 7.05%, primarily as a result of introductory rates
offered on new home equity credit line loans. The average yield on
single-family residential loans declined to 6.81% from 7.33%, as customers
continued to refinance higher rate mortgage loans into mortgage loans with lower
rates.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $24.1 million
because of lower average interest rates and lower average balances. The reduced
104
<PAGE>
mortgage-backed security balances in fiscal 1994 reflected the effects of the
sale of $127.8 million of such securities during fiscal 1993. Average interest
rates on these securities declined to 5.77% from 6.30%, primarily as a result of
the prepayment of higher rate mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities with lower rates.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $7.7 million as a result
of the sale in June 1993 of U.S. Government securities with a book balance of
$172.9 million, which resulted in lower average, balances of such securities in
fiscal 1994.
Interest expense decreased $2.0 million (or 1.2%) for the year ended
September 30, 1994 because of a decline of $5.1 million in interest expense on
borrowings. The decrease in interest paid on borrowings was primarily
attributable to a $4.2 million decrease in interest expense on repurchase
agreement transactions and a $2.0 million decrease interest expense on the
Bank's subordinated debentures. A decrease of $160.8 million (or 60.6%) in the
average balances of repurchase agreements contributed to the reduced interest
expense on repurchase agreement transactions. The decline in interest expense
on the Bank's subordinated debentures reflected the effects of the refinancing
of two outstanding debenture issues in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 with the
proceeds of a new, lower-rate debenture issue. As a result of such refinancing,
the annual interest rate paid by the Bank on its debentures decreased to 10.02%
in fiscal 1994 from 13.55% in fiscal 1993. See Note 23 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in this report.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was partially offset by a
$3.1 million increase in interest expense on deposits, the largest category of
interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on deposits increased
principally as a result of an increase of $138.0 million in average deposit
balances. See "Financial Condition - Banking - Asset and Liability Management."
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Bank's provision for loan losses decreased
to $29.2 million in fiscal 1994 from $60.4 million in the prior fiscal year.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $20.5 million in the
provision for losses on credit card loans. The lower provision resulted in part
from a decline in net charge-offs of credit card loans in fiscal 1994. In
addition, the securitization and sale of $850 million of credit card receivables
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994 and of $200.0 million and $300.0 million of
credit card receivables in the March 1994 and June 1994 quarters, respectively,
reduced the amount of such receivables against which the Bank maintains the
reserve. The provision for losses on real estate loans decreased $10.2 million,
reflecting the Bank's implementation of SOP 92-3 during the December 1992
quarter. See "Financial Condition - Banking - Asset Quality - Valuation
Allowances for Losses."
OTHER INCOME. The increase in other (non-interest) income to $160.0
million in fiscal 1994 from $130.8 million in fiscal 1993 was primarily
attributable to an increase in loan and deposit servicing fees. In addition,
the Bank recorded earnings on real estate held for investment or sale, compared
to a loss in fiscal 1993. The positive effect of these items on other income
was partially offset by a decrease in credit card fees and a decrease in gain on
sale of investment securities.
An increase of $21.8 million in excess servicing fees and $4.4. million of
servicing fees earned by the Bank for servicing its portfolios of securitized
credit card loans contributed to an increase of $25.0 million (or 38.4%) in loan
and deposit servicing fees. such excess servicing fees and servicing fees have
increased in recent periods as a result of greater securitization activity by
the Bank. The increase in loan and deposit servicing fees also reflected a $4.6
million increase in excess servicing fees related to home equity credit line
securitizations. The excess servicing fee level rose because of a decrease in
105
<PAGE>
the average prepayment rate with respect to the underlying home equity credit
line receivables. See "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - The Bank"
in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
The improved results on real estate held for investment or sale were
primarily attributable to a decrease of $16.4 million in the provision for
losses on such assets. The Bank's implementation of SOP 92-3 in the quarter
ended December 31, 1992 resulted in $19.0 Million of additional provisions for
real estate losses in that period which was required to reduce the book value of
the Bank's foreclosed assets to fair value. An increase of $2.0 million in the
gain recorded on sales of the Bank's REO properties also contributed to the
earnings on real estate held for investment or sale. These results were
partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in the operating income generated by
the Bank's REO properties.
Credit card fees, consisting of membership fees, late charges, inter-change
fees and cash advance charges, decreased $5.0 million (19.4%) in fiscal year
1994 from the level in fiscal 1993). The decrease was primarily attributable to
a $7.3 million increase in rebate expense on credit card retail purchases, which
the Bank incurred in connection with promotional activities undertaken beginning
in 1993. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interchange fees
and cash advance charges as a result of increased account activity. The
increased number of accounts reflected the increase in new account originations
in connection with the Bank's resumption of active national solicitation of new
credit card accounts.
Gain on sale of investment securities decreased by $8.9 million as a result
of the sale in the June 1993 quarter of U.S. Government securities with a book
value of $172.9 million.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses for the year ended September 30,
1994 increased $58.7 million (31.3%) from the level in fiscal 1993. The main
components of the higher operating expenses were increases in marketing
expenses, salaries and employee benefits, and data processing expenses. The
$31.3 million increase in marketing expenses was primarily incurred in
connection with the Bank's expanded marketing program for its credit card
products and services initiated in June 1993 with the resumption of active
national solicitation of new credit card accounts. See "Business - Banking -
Lending - Credit Card Lending." The $17.7 million increase in salaries and
employee benefits resulted primarily from the addition of staff to the Bank's
credit card operations and discretionary bonuses paid to substantially all
employees in December 1993. The $8.5 million increase in data processing
expense was principally attributable to an increase in the number of credit card
accounts outstanding and the activity generated by such accounts during fiscal
1994. In order to take advantage of additional opportunities to enhance
profitability, the Bank may be required to incur increased expenditures for
salaries and employee benefits, loan expenses and marketing expenses, which will
contribute to higher operating expenses in future periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL
B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Real Estate Trust") operate as a
Maryland real estate investment trust. The principal business activity
of the Real Estate Trust is the ownership and development of
income-producing properties. The properties owned by the Real Estate
Trust are located predominantly in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern
regions of the United States and consist principally of hotels, office
projects, and various undeveloped land parcels.
B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust also owns 80% of the
outstanding common stock of Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B., and its
subsidiaries (the "Bank" or the "Corporations"), whose assets
accounted for approximately 94% of the consolidated assets of the B.F.
Saul Real Estate Investment Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries
(the "Trust") at September 30, 1995. The Bank is a federally
chartered and federally insured stock savings bank. The B.F. Saul
Real Estate Investment Trust is a thrift holding company by virtue of
its ownership of a majority interest in the Bank and is subject to
regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The accounting
and reporting practices of the Trust conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and, as appropriate, predominant practices
within the real estate and banking industries.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Real Estate Trust and the Bank. Accordingly, the accompanying
financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, operating
results, and cash flows for two business segments: Real Estate and
Banking. Entities in which the Trust holds a non-controlling
interest (generally 50% or less) are accounted for on the equity
method. See Note 2.
INCOME TAXES
The Trust files a consolidated federal income tax return which
includes operations of all 80% or more owned subsidiaries. It
voluntarily terminated its qualification as a real estate investment
trust under the Internal Revenue Code during fiscal 1978.
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 establishes financial accounting
and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result
from the Trust's activities during the current and preceding years. It
requires an asset and liability approach in accounting for income
taxes versus the deferred method previously used under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 11, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("APB
11"). Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are recorded using
enacted tax laws and rates for the years in which taxes are expected
to be paid. To the extent that realization of such assets is more
likely than not, SFAS 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax
assets based on tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Trust
adopted SFAS 109 on October 1, 1993 and recorded a cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle of approximately $36.3 million.
The income tax provision for fiscal year 1993 was determined under APB
11 and has not been restated to reflect adoption of SFAS 109.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net
income (loss), after deducting preferred share dividend requirements,
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. For fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the weighted average
number of shares used in the calculation was 4,826,910.
F-10
<PAGE>
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 to conform
with the presentation used for the year ended September 30, 1995.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), was
issued in March 1995. SFAS 121 establishes accounting standards
for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets, to be held and
used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
to be disposed of. It addresses how impairment losses should be
measured and when such losses should be recognized. Under SFAS
121, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
held and used shall be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the
carrying amount of the asset, the entity shall recognize an
impairment loss. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived
assets and identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to hold
and use should be based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of
should generally be reported at the lower of carrying amount or
fair value less the cost to sell. SFAS 121 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. The adoption of SFAS 121 is not anticipated to have a
material impact on the Bank's financial condition or the results of
operations.
Statement of Position 94-6, "Disclosures of Significant Risks and
Uncertainties" ("SOP 94-6"), was issued in January 1995. SOP 94-6
requires an entity to disclose certain information about the nature
of its operations and use of estimates in the preparation of its
financial statements. In addition, if specified criteria are met,
it requires an entity to disclose certain information about certain
significant estimates and current vulnerability to risk due to
certain concentrations. SOP 94-6 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995, and for
financial statements for interim periods in fiscal years subsequent
to the year for which SOP 94-6 is first applied.

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - REAL ESTATE TRUST
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Real Estate Trust considers all highly liquid, temporary
investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
PROPERTIES
Income-producing properties are stated at the lower of depreciated
cost (except those which were acquired through foreclosure or
equivalent proceedings, the carrying amounts of which are based on the
lower of cost or fair value at the time of acquisition) or net
realizable value based on management's intent and ability to hold such
properties on a long term basis. Under the net realizable value
approach, management evaluates, on an ongoing basis, the
recoverability of the investment in each property by analyzing cash
flow after capital improvements to determine that such cash flow is
sufficient to recover the recorded investment in the property over its
expected useful life.
Interest, real estate taxes and other carrying costs are capitalized
on projects under construction. Once construction is completed and
the assets are placed in service, rental income, direct operating
expenses, and depreciation associated with such properties are
included in current operations. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
In the initial rental operations of development projects, the Real
Estate Trust considers a project to be substantially complete and held
available for occupancy upon completion of tenant improvements, but no
later than one year from the cessation of major construction activity.
Substantially completed portions of a project are accounted for as
separate projects.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method and
estimated useful lives of 31.5 to 47 years for buildings and up to 20
years for certain other improvements. Tenant improvements are
amortized over the lives of the related leases using the straight-line
method.
INCOME RECOGNITION
Rental and interest income are accrued as earned except when doubt
exists as to their collectibility, in which case accrual is
discontinued. When rentals vary from a straight-line basis due to
free rent periods or scheduled increases, income is recognized on a
straight-line basis. Additional rental income based on tenants' gross
revenues ("overage rent") is accrued on the basis of the prior year's
overage rents adjusted to give effect to currently available sales
data.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
F-12
<PAGE>
LIABILITIES
The carrying amount of mortgage notes payable and notes payable -
secured approximates their fair value since most of the debt has been
financed in recent periods at prevailing market interest rates. The
fair value of Notes payable - unsecured is based on the rates
currently offered by the Real Estate Trust for similar notes. At
September 30, 1995 and 1994 the fair value of Notes payable -
unsecured was $42.6 and $42.1 million, respectively.

C. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - THE BANK
The Bank is a federally chartered and federally insured stock savings
bank and, as such, is subject to comprehensive regulation, examination
and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is
principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the
public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other
funds, to make loans secured by real estate, primarily residential
mortgage loans, and various types of consumer loans, primarily credit
card loans.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits, federal
funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell.
The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances with the Federal
Reserve Bank. Average reserves maintained at the Federal Reserve
Bank were $11.6, $20.6 and $21.8 million during the years ended
September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE:
The Bank engages in mortgage banking activities. At September 30,
1995 and 1994, loans held for sale are composed of single-family
residential loans originated or purchased for sale in the secondary
market and are carried at aggregate cost which is lower than
aggregate market value. Single-family residential loans held for
sale will either be sold or will be exchanged for mortgage-backed
securities and then sold. Gains and losses on sales of whole loans
held for sale are determined using the specific identification
method. See "Trading Securities" and Note 28.
LOANS HELD FOR SECURITIZATION AND SALE:
The Bank periodically securitizes and sells certain pools of loan
receivables in the public and private markets. These
securitizations are recorded as sales. Gains on the sale of loans
are limited to amounts related to loans existing at the date of sale
and do not include amounts related to future loans expected to be
sold during the reinvestment period, if any. In the case of credit
card receivables, because of the relatively short average life of
the loans, no gain or loss is recorded at the time of sale. Rather,
loan servicing fees are recognized monthly over the life of the
transaction when earned and transaction expenses are deferred and
amortized over the reinvestment period of the transaction as a
reduction of loan servicing fees. In the case of home equity credit
line and automobile loan receivables, gains or losses, net of
related transaction expenses, are recorded at the time of the sale
and the resultant excess servicing assets are amortized over the
life of the transaction.
Loans held for securitization and sale are the lesser of loans
eligible for securitization or loans that management contemplates to
securitize within six months. Such loans held for securitization
and sale are reported at the lower of aggregate cost or aggregate
market value for each asset type.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES:
Prior to October 1, 1993, the Bank's investment and mortgage-backed
securities were held for investment and stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. These
securities were carried at amortized cost because the Bank had the
ability to hold such securities until maturity and it was
management's intent to hold such securities for the foreseeable
future. When management determined that certain securities might be
sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment
risks or the need to increase regulatory capital, such securities
were transferred from the held for investment category to the held
for sale category. Such held for sale securities were transferred
in and carried at the lower of aggregate cost or aggregate market
value. Gains and losses resulting from the sale of investment and
F-14
<PAGE>
mortgage-backed securites were determined using the specific
identification method.
Prior to October 1, 1993, securities to be held for indefinite
periods of time, including securities that management intended to
use as part of its asset-liability management, or that could be sold
in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment
risks, the need to increase regulatory capital or other similar
factors, were classified as held for sale and were carried at the
lower of aggregate cost or aggregate market value. Gains and losses
on sales of securities held for sale were determined using the
specific identification method.
Effective October 1, 1993, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115") which was
issued in May 1993. SFAS 115 required institutions to classify and
account for debt and equity securities as either "held-to-maturity",
"available-for-sale" or "trading." Simultaneous with the adoption
of SFAS 115, the Bank classified all of the investment securities
and mortgage-backed securities it held on October 1, 1993, as
available-for-sale.
During fiscal 1995, the Bank transferred all of its investment
securities and mortgage-backed securities previously classified as
available-for-sale to held-to-maturity and, as a result, all
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities are classified
as held-to-maturity at September 30, 1995. These securities were
transferred at their fair value. Net unrealized holding losses, net
of the related income tax effect, amounting to $3.5 million as of
the date of the transfer, and $3.1 million as of September 30, 1995,
continue to be reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity and are being amortized to income over the remaining lives of
the securities using the level-yield method.
Premiums and discounts on investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities are amortized or accreted using the level-yield method.
Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific
identification method.
TRADING SECURITIES:
As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank exchanges loans
held for sale for mortgage-backed securities and then sells the
mortgage-backed securities to third party investors in the month of
issuance. In accordance with SFAS 115, these mortgage-backed
securities are classified as trading securities. Proceeds from
sales of trading securities were $239.1 and $688.8 million during
the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Bank
realized a net loss of $600,000 and a net gain of $1.7 million on
the sales of trading securities for the years ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Gains and losses on sales of trading
securities are determined using the specific identification method.
There were no securities classified as trading securities at
September 30, 1995 and 1994.
LOAN ORIGINATION AND COMMITMENT FEES:
Nonrefundable loan fees, such as origination and commitment fees,
and incremental loan origination costs relating to loans originated
or purchased are deferred. Net deferred fees (costs) related to
loans held for investment are amortized over the life of the loan
using the level-yield or straight-line method. Net fees (costs)
related to loans held for sale are deferred until such time as the
loan is sold, at which time the net deferred fees (costs) become a
component of the gain or loss on sale.
CREDIT CARD FEES AND COSTS:
Credit card membership fees are deferred and recognized as income on
a straight-line basis over the period the fee entitles the
cardholder to use the card, which is one year. Credit card
origination costs are deferred and recognized as a reduction of
income on a straight-line basis over the privilege period which is
generally one year.
F-15
<PAGE>
IMPAIRED LOANS:
A loan is considered impaired when, based on all current information
and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement,
including all scheduled principal and interest payments. Such
impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate
or, as a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on
the loan's observable market price, or, if the loan is
collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral. When the
measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in
the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance.
Loans for which foreclosure is probable continue to be accounted for
as loans. Certain credit card loans for which customers have agreed
to modified payment terms are also classified as impaired loans.
Each impaired real estate loan is evaluated individually to
determine the income recognition policy. Generally, payments
received are applied in accordance with the contractual terms of the
note or as a reduction of principal.
Interest income on impaired credit card loans is recognized using
the current interest rate of the loan and the accrual method. When
loans become 90 days past due, all accrued interest is reserved and
the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest income on
non-accrual credit card loans is recognized when received.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank had one impaired real estate loan
with a book value of $698,000. At September 30, 1994, the Bank had
no impaired real estate loans. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, the
Bank had impaired credit card loans with a carrying value of $36.7
million, before the related allowance for losses of $3.7 million,
and $35.3 million, before the related allowance for losses of $3.5
million, respectively. The Bank calculates its allowance for losses
on all credit card loans based upon historical charge-offs and
repayment experience and the age of the portfolio. The average
recorded investment in impaired credit card and real estate loans
for the year ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was $33.5 and $39.0
million, respectively. The Bank recognized interest income of $5.3
and $2.4 million on its impaired loans for the years ended September
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
ALLOWANCES FOR LOSSES:
Management reviews the loan, real estate held for investment and
real estate held for sale portfolios to establish allowances for
estimated losses. The allowances for losses are reviewed
periodically, and allowances are provided after consideration of the
borrower's financial condition and/or the estimated value of
collateral, including estimated selling and holding costs.
Allowances are also provided by management after considering such
factors as the economy in lending areas, delinquency statistics,
past loss experience and estimated future loss experience.
The allowances for losses are based on estimates, and ultimate
losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to the
allowances become necessary, provisions for losses are reported in
operations in the periods they are determined to be necessary.
ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE ON LOANS:
Loans are reviewed on a monthly basis and are placed on non-accrual
status when, in the opinion of management, the full collection of
principal or interest has become unlikely. Uncollectible accrued
interest receivable on non-accrual loans is charged against current
period interest income.

REAL ESTATE HELD FOR INVESTMENT OR SALE:
REAL ESTATE HELD FOR INVESTMENT:
At September 30, 1995, real estate held for investment consists of
developed land, which is owned by one of the Bank's subsidiaries.
At September 30, 1994, real estate held for investment consisted of
an office building, two apartment buildings, developed land and an
investment in a limited partnership all of which were owned by one
of the Bank's subsidiaries. Also included in real estate held for
investment at September 30, 1994, was a loan to a developer with a
50% profit participation feature. This investment in a real estate
venture, which was non-performing at September 30, 1994, was
accounted for as an acquisition, development and construction
("ADC") arrangement. Real estate held for investment is carried at
the lower of aggregate cost or net realizable value. See Note 12.
REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE:
Real estate held for sale consists of real estate acquired in
settlement of loans ("REO") and is recorded at the lower of cost or
fair value at acquisition. Effective December 31, 1992, OTS
regulations required that foreclosed assets be carried at the lower
of cost or fair value which required the Bank to adopt Statement of
Position 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets" ("SOP 92-3"),
issued by the Accounting Standards Division of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Prior to December 31,
1992, real estate acquired in settlement of loans was carried at the
lower of adjusted cost or net realizable value. Costs relating to
the development and improvement of property, including interest, are
capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are
expensed. Capitalized interest amounted to $4.5, $4.4 and $10.2
million for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight-line method which allocates the cost of
the applicable assets over their estimated useful lives. Major
improvements and alterations to office premises and leaseholds are
capitalized. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter
of the terms of the respective leases (including renewal options
that are expected to be exercised) or 20 years. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED:
Cost in excess of net assets acquired is stated net of accumulated
amortization and is being amortized using the straight-line method
generally over a period of 15 years. Accumulated amortization was
$33.4 and $31.0 million at September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS:
Effective July 1, 1995, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting
for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"), an amendment of SFAS
No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." SFAS
122 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize, as
separate assets, rights to service mortgage loans for others,
however those servicing rights are acquired. Under previous
accounting guidance, separate mortgage servicing assets were
generally recognized only when purchased. A mortgage banking
enterprise that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either
purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes
those loans with servicing rights retained must allocate the total
cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the
loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their
relative fair values.
Mortgage servicing rights, which are stated net of accumulated
amortization, are being amortized in proportion to the remaining net
revenues estimated to be generated by the underlying mortgage
servicing
F-17
<PAGE>
rights. Amortization of these assets amounted to $2.2, $6.1
and $12.1 million for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $39.9 and
$37.7 million at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Bank capitalized $16.3,
$0.9 and $20.7 million, respectively, related to the acquisition
of mortgage servicing rights. In fiscal 1993, the Bank sold
approximately $1.2 million of rights previously purchased to
service mortgage loans with principal balances of approximately
$76.1 million and recognized a loss of $380,000. There were no
sales of previously purchased mortgage servicing rights during
the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.
In fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Bank sold the rights to service
mortgage loans with principal balances of approximately $148.1,
$383.9 and $476.1 million, respectively, which were originated by
the Bank in connection with its mortgage banking activities, and
recognized gains of $1.4, $5.8, and $5.2 million, respectively.
SFAS 122 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise evaluate its
mortgage servicing rights for impairment based upon fair value. To
measure fair value of its mortgage servicing rights, the Bank uses
either quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses using
appropriate assumptions for servicing fee income, servicing fee
costs, prepayment rates and discount rates. Additionally, the Bank
stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for the purpose
of evaluating impairment taking into consideration relevant risk
characteristics including loan type, note rate and date of
acquisition. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights
at September 30, 1995 was $31.2 million and no impairment allowance
was required.
EXCESS SERVICING ASSETS:
When loans are sold with the servicing rights retained by the Bank,
the net present value of estimated future servicing income in excess
of normal servicing income is recorded as an adjustment to the sales
price of the loans. Estimated future losses are deducted in the
computation of such excess servicing income. The resulting assets
are amortized using the level-yield ("interest") method over the
estimated lives of the underlying loans. Amortization of these
assets amounted to $14.5, $13.5 and $21.4 million for the years
ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Accumulated
amortization was $80.5 and $65.9 million at September 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Excess servicing assets capitalized in fiscal
1995, 1994 and 1993 of $15.0, $11.1 and $19.5 million respectively,
were the result of the servicing retained upon the securitization
and sale of home equity credit line receivables and automobile loan
receivables. See Note 15.
Management periodically evaluates the carrying value of excess
servicing assets taking into consideration current portfolio factors
such as prepayment rates. The Bank's analyses are performed on a
discounted basis based on pools of loans with similar
characteristics. Any adjustments to the carrying value of such
assets as a result of this evaluation are included in the
amortization for the respective period.
INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS:
Premiums paid for interest rate cap agreements are included in other
assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to
expense over the terms of the interest rate caps on a straight-line
basis. Funds payable to the Bank are recognized as income in the
month such funds are earned. At September 30, 1995 unamortized
premiums amounted to $10.0 million. There were no interest rate cap
agreements in effect at September 30, 1994.
ADOPTION OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 119"), was issued in
October 1994. This new statement requires certain disclosures about
financial derivatives, including amounts, nature and terms of the
instruments. The disclosure requires the description of the
objectives, strategies and classes of derivatives and related gains
and losses in the financial statements or in the notes thereto. It
also requires that a distinction be made between financial
instruments held or issued for trading purposes and those held or
issued for purposes other than trading. Disclosures required by
SFAS 119 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 1994.
The Bank has presented such disclosures in Note 28.

1. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - REAL ESTATE TRUST
Historically, the Real Estate Trust's total cash requirements have
exceeded the cash generated by its operations. As described below,
this condition persisted in 1995 and is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future. 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 ("Unsecured Notes") sold to the public (see Note 4),
interest payable on the Senior Secured Notes (as defined below), and
the payment of capital improvement costs. In the past, the Real Estate
Trust has funded such shortfalls through a combination of external
funding sources, primarily new financings (including sale of Unsecured
Notes), refinancings of maturing mortgage debt, asset sales and tax
sharing payments from the Bank.
The Real Estate Trust's ability to meet its liquidity needs, including
debt service payments, will depend in significant part on its receipts
of tax sharing payments from the Bank (pursuant to the Tax Sharing
Agreement dated June 28, 1990, as amended, among the Trust, the Bank
and their subsidiaries) and dividends from the Bank. The availability
and amount of dividends and tax sharing payments in future periods, is
dependent upon, among other things, the Bank's operating performance,
regulatory restrictions on such payments and (in the case of tax
sharing payments) the continued consolidation of the Bank and the
Trust for federal income tax purposes.
Management anticipates that the Trust will continue to file a
consolidated federal income tax return and that the Bank will operate
in a profitable manner enabling it to generate tax sharing payments.
Management also anticipates that such tax sharing payments will be
approved by the OTS in amounts sufficient to enable the Real Estate
Trust to meet its debt service and other liquidity needs. Nonetheless,
should tax sharing payments not be paid during the next twelve months,
management estimates that the Real Estate Trust has adequate liquidity,
including unencumbered cash balances and debt service escrow balances
related to the Senior Secured Notes sufficient to fund its cash flow
requirements, including debt service.
The Real Estate Trust's liquidity position was positively affected by
the issuance on March 30, 1994 of $175.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 11 5/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Secured
Notes"). After paying offering expenses of $8.9 million, third-party
mortgage indebtedness of $74.1 million, and affiliate indebtedness of
$8.9 million, the Real Estate Trust retained $83.1 million of the net
proceeds of the offering for application to general corporate
purposes, including a loan to an affiliate of $15.0 million.
Approximately $25.8 million was deposited with the Trustee for the
Senior Secured Notes to satisfy one of the initial collateral
requirements. See Note 4. Concurrently with the application of the
net proceeds of the offering to repay third-party mortgage
indebtedness, the terms of certain of the mortgage loans repaid in
part were modified to waive deferred interest, reduce interest rates
and extend maturities. After the application of such net proceeds and
the modification of such loans, the final maturity of loans with total
balances of $111.1 million was 12 years and the final maturity of a
loan with a balance of $15.1 million was 15 years.
During fiscal 1994 and 1995, the Trust purchased 1,074,900 shares of
common stock of Saul Centers, Inc. (representing 9.0% of such
company's outstanding common stock) for approximately $18.1 million.
These shares have been deposited with the Trustee for the Senior
Secured Notes to satisfy in part the collateral requirements for those
securities, thereby permitting release to the Trust of a portion of
the cash on deposit with the Trustee.
The Senior Secured Notes are secured, general obligations of the Trust
ranking pari passu with all other unsubordinated obligations of the
Trust, including the Unsecured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes are
secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in 80% of the
issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank, which 80% is owned by
the Trust. The Indenture pursuant to which the Senior Secured Notes
were issued contains convenants that, among other things, restrict the
ability of the Trust and/or its subsidiaries (excluding, in most
cases, the Bank and the Bank's subsidiaries) to incur additional
indebtedness, make loans to affiliates, make investments, sell assets,
pay dividends or make distributions to holders of the Trust's capital
stock.
The Real Estate Trust's current program of public Unsecured Note sales
was initiated in the 1970's as a vehicle
F-19
<PAGE>
for supplementing other external funding sources. Unsecured Note
sales were suspended in June 1990, but resumed in November 1992.
The Real Estate Trust is currently selling Unsecured Notes
principally to pay outstanding Unsecured Notes as they mature. In
paying maturing Unsecured Notes with proceeds of new Unsecured Note
sales, the Real Estate Trust effectively is refinancing its
outstanding Unsecured Notes with similar new unsecured debt at
lower interest rates currently prevailing in today's market. To the
degree that the Real Estate Trust does not sell new Unsecured Notes
in an amount sufficient to finance completely the scheduled
repayment of outstanding Unsecured Notes as they mature, it will be
required to finance such repayments from other sources of funds.
The Bank has agreed not to make any additional tax sharing payments to
the Real Estate Trust without the prior approval of the OTS. In April
1993, the Bank successfully completed a $75 million offering of
preferred stock, which significantly strengthened the Bank's
regulatory capital ratios. This capital infusion, together with the
Bank's improved operating results, should enhance the prospects of the
Real Estate Trust to receive tax sharing payments and dividends from
the Bank in the future. In June 1993, after receiving approval of the
OTS, the Bank made a $5.0 million payment to the Real Estate Trust
pursuant to the tax sharing agreement between the Bank and the Real
Estate Trust. OTS approval of this payment was conditioned on a
pledge by or on behalf of the Real Estate Trust of certain assets to
secure certain of its obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement.
Following execution of the pledge, the OTS approved, and the Bank made
tax sharing payments to the Real Estate Trust of $9.6 and $20.5
million during fiscal 1994 and 1995, respectively.
The Real Estate Trust has never received cash dividends from the Bank.
Receipt of cash dividends in the future will depend on the Bank's
earnings and regulatory capital levels, among other factors. The
Bank's written agreement with the OTS was amended in October 1993 to
eliminate the requirement that the Bank obtain the written approval of
the OTS before declaring or paying any dividends on its common stock.
Nonetheless, the OTS must be notified regarding dividends declared or
paid.
As the owner, directly and through a wholly owned subsidiary, of a
21.5% limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings Limited
Partnership (see Note 2), the Real Estate Trust shares in cash
distributions from operations and from capital transactions involving
the sale of properties. The partnership agreement provides for
quarterly cash distributions to the partners out of net cash flow.
During fiscal 1994 and 1995, the Real Estate Trust received
distributions in the amount of $4.6 and $5.5 million, respectively,
from Saul Holdings Limited Partnership.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust
established a $15.0 million secured revolving credit line to provide
it with additional liquidity. The terms of this line are described in
Note 4.
While the Real Estate Trust's ability to satisfy its liquidity
requirements is contingent on future events, which include the sale of
new Unsecured Notes in amounts sufficient to finance most of the
scheduled maturities of outstanding unsecured Notes and the Bank's
ability to pay tax sharing payments and dividends, the Real Estate
Trust believes it will be able to consummate the transactions
described above as well as explore other financing opportunities in
order to raise sufficient proceeds to fund its liquidity requirements.
2. SAUL HOLDINGS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - REAL ESTATE TRUST
In late August 1993, the Real Estate Trust entered into a series of
transactions undertaken in connection with an initial public offering
of common stock of a newly organized corporation, Saul Centers, Inc.
("Saul Centers"). The Real Estate Trust transferred its 22 shopping
centers and one of its office properties together with the debt
associated with such properties to a newly formed partnership, Saul
Holdings Limited Partnership ("Saul Holdings"), in which the Real
Estate Trust owns (directly or through one of its wholly owned
subsidiaries) a 21.5% interest, other entities affiliated with the
Real Estate Trust own a 5.5% interest, and Saul Centers owns a 73.0%
interest. B. Francis Saul II, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
the Trust, is also Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of Saul Centers, which is the sole general partner
of Saul Holdings. The Real Estate Trust has pledged 62% of its
interest in Saul Holdings to the Bank related to payments under the
Tax Sharing Agreement.
F-20
<PAGE>
In connection with the transfer of its properties to Saul Holdings,
the Real Estate Trust was relieved of approximately $196 million in
mortgage debt and deferred interest. Pursuant to a reimbursement
agreement among the partners of Saul Holdings and its subsidiary
limited partnerships (collectively, the "Partnerships"), the Real
Estate Trust and those of its subsidiaries that are partners in the
Partnerships have 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 September 30, 1995, the maximum
potential obligations of the Real Estate Trust and its subsidiaries
under this agreement totalled approximately $115.5 million.
The fair market value of each of the properties contributed to the
Partnerships by the Real Estate Trust at the date of transfer (the
"FMV" of each such property) exceeded the tax basis of such property
(with respect to each property, such excess is referred to as the
"FMV-Tax Difference"). In the event Saul Centers, as general partner
of the Partnerships, causes the Partnerships to dispose of one or more
of such properties, a disproportionately large share of the total gain
for federal income tax purposes would be allocated to the Real Estate
Trust or its subsidiaries as a result of the property disposition. In
general, if the gain recognized by the Partnerships on a property
disposition is less than or equal to the FMV-Tax Difference for such
property (as previously reduced by the amounts of special tax
allocations of depreciation deductions to the partners), an amount of
gain equal to the FMV-Tax Difference (as adjusted) will be allocated
to the Real Estate Trust. To the extent the gain recognized by the
Partnerships on the property disposition exceeds the FMV-Tax
Difference (as adjusted), such excess generally will be allocated
among all the partners in Saul Holdings based on their relative
percentage interests. In general, the amount of gain allocated to the
Real Estate Trust in the event of such a property disposition is
likely to exceed, perhaps substantially, the amount of cash, if any,
distributable to the Real Estate Trust as a result of the property
disposition. In addition, future reductions in the level of the
Partnerships' debt, or any release of the guarantees of such debt by
the Real Estate Trust, could cause the Real Estate Trust to have
taxable constructive distributions without the receipt of any
corresponding amounts of cash. Currently, management does not intend
to seek a release of or a reduction in the guarantees or to convert
its limited partner units in Saul Holdings into shares of Saul Centers
common stock.
At the date of transfer of the Real Estate Trust properties to Saul
Holdings, liabilities exceeded assets transferred by approximately
$104.3 million on an historical cost basis. The assets and liabilities
were recorded by Saul Holdings and Saul Centers at their historical
cost rather than market value because of affiliated ownership and
common management and because the assets and liabilities were the
subject of the business combination between Saul Centers and Saul
Holdings, newly formed entities with no prior operations.
Immediately subsequent to the business combination and initial public
offering of common stock by Saul Centers, Saul Centers had total
owners' equity of approximately $16.4 million of which approximately
$3.5 million related to the Real Estate Trust's 21.5% ownership
interest. Recognition by the Real Estate Trust of the change in its
investment in the properties of approximately $107.8 million, from a
deficit of $104.3 million to $3.5 million, has been deferred due to
the Real Estate Trust's guarantee of $115.5 million under the Saul
Centers reimbursement agreement. The deferred gain of $107.8 million
is included in "Deferred gains - real estate" in the financial
statements. The gain will be recognized in future periods to the
extent the Real Estate Trust's obligations are terminated under the
reimbursement agreement.
The management of Saul Centers has adopted a strategy of maintaining a
ratio of total debt to total asset value, as estimated by management,
of fifty percent or less. The management of Saul Centers has concluded
at September 30, 1995 that the total debt of Saul Centers remains
below fifty percent of total asset value. As a result, the Real Estate
Trust has concluded that fundings under the reimbursement agreement
are remote.

In addition to the deferred gains, as of September 30, 1995, the
Real Estate Trust's investment in the consolidated entities of Saul
Centers, which is accounted for under the equity method, consisted
of the following.

4. DEBT - REAL ESTATE TRUST
Mortgage notes payable are secured by various income-producing
properties and land parcels. Almost all mortgage notes are payable in
monthly installments, have maturity dates ranging to 2009 and accrue
interest at annual rates from 7.6% to 10.0%. Certain mortgages contain
a number of restrictions, including cross default provisions.
The Real Estate Trust obtained a $5.0 million secured loan from an
affiliate in August 1992. Interest accrued at prime plus 1.5%. The
loan was repaid during fiscal 1994.
In December 1992, the Trust completed the sale to an institutional
investor, for $25 million, of 100% of the preferred stock of a newly
organized Trust subsidiary to which the Trust contributed certain real
estate and other assets. The assets contributed included six shopping
centers and one office building, several parcels of unencumbered raw
land, and a capital note in the amount of $58 million secured by a
junior lien on 30% of the Bank's stock. The net proceeds of the
transaction were lent by the subsidiary to the Trust in exchange for
notes of the Trust secured by specified real estate properties and other
assets of the Trust (the "Trust Notes"). Such proceeds were applied by
the Trust for its general corporate purposes, with approximately $2.3
million of such proceeds being reserved for capital improvements to
certain of the real estate properties contributed to the new subsidiary.
In late August 1993, the Real Estate Trust was relieved of approximately
$196 million in mortgage debt and deferred interest in connection with
the formation of Saul Holdings (See Note 2). As a part of this
transaction, the preferred stock issued to the institutional investor
was redeemed in exchange for the Trust Notes and the pledge of all of
the stock of the Trust subsidiary, together with $60 million, at their
then-market value, of the Real Estate Trust's partnership interests in
Saul Holdings. During fiscal 1994, the Trust Notes were repaid and the
collateral was released.
On March 30, 1994, the Real Estate Trust issued $175.0 million aggregate
principal amount of its Senior Secured
F-24
<PAGE>
Notes. The Senior Secured Notes are general obligations of the Real
Estate Trust ranking pari passu with all other unsubordinated
obligations of the Trust and are secured by a first priority
perfected security interest in 80% (8,000 shares) of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Bank and by certain other assets of
the Trust as described herein. After paying offering expenses of
$8.9 million, third-party mortgage indebtedness of $74.1 million,
and affiliate indebtedness of $8.9 million, the Real Estate Trust
retained $83.1 million of the net proceeds of the offering for
application to general corporate purposes, including a loan to an
affiliate of $15.0 million. Of the remaining amount, approximately
$25.8 million was deposited with the Trustee for the Senior Secured
Notes to satisfy one of the initial collateral requirements with
respect to such securities. This collateral requirement, which will
remain in effect as long as any Senior Secured Notes are
outstanding, will be recalculated each calendar quarter based on
the estimated amount of one year's interest payments on then
outstanding Senior Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes. Concurrently
with the application of the net proceeds of the offering to repay
third-party mortgage indebtedness, the terms of certain of the
mortgage loans repaid in part were modified to waive deferred
interest, reduce interest rates and extend maturities. After the
application of such net proceeds and the modification of such
loans, the final maturity of loans with total balances of $111.1
million was 12 years and the final maturity of a loan with a
balance of $15.1 million was 15 years. During fiscal 1994 and
fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust purchased 1,074,900 shares of
common stock of Saul Centers (representing 9.0% of such company's
outstanding stock) for approximately $18.1 million. These shares
have been deposited with the Trustee for the Senior Secured Notes
to satisfy in part the collateral requirements for those
securities, thereby permitting release to the Trust of a portion of
the cash on deposit with the Trustee. The Senior Secured Notes may be
redeemed in whole or in part at any time on or after April 1, 1998,
subject to, among other things, prepayment premiums.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Real Estate Trust established
a $15.0 million secured revolving credit line with a bank. This facility
is for a two-year period and may be extended for one or more additional
one- year terms. Interest is computed by reference to a floating rate
index. As collateral for the facility, the Real Estate Trust has pledged
30.5% of its interest in Saul Holdings. Borrowings under the facility at
year end totalled $500,000 and unrestricted availability amounted to
$14.5 million.
Notes payable - unsecured includes notes which have been sold by the
Real Estate Trust directly to investors at varying interest rates with
maturities of one to ten years. These notes do not contain any
provisions for conversion, sinking fund or amortization. Notes sold
after November 14, 1986, are subject to a provision permitting the Real
Estate Trust to call them prior to maturity. The weighted average
interest rates at September 30, 1995 and 1994 were 10.5% and 11.1%,
respectively. During fiscal 1994 and 1995, the Real Estate Trust sold
notes amounting to approximately $15.7 and $8.0 million, respectively.
The maturity schedule for the Real Estate Trust's outstanding debt at
September 30, 1995 for the fiscal years commencing October 1, 1995 is
set forth in the following table.

7. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES - REAL ESTATE TRUST
TRANSACTIONS WITH B. F. SAUL COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
The Real Estate Trust is managed by B. F. Saul Advisory Company (the
"Advisor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of B. F. Saul Company ("Saul
Co."). All of the Real Estate Trust officers and three Trustees of the
Trust are also officers and/or directors of Saul Co. The Advisor is paid
a fixed monthly fee which is subject to annual review by the Trustees.
The monthly fee was $97,000 during the period October through December
1992, $157,000 during the period January 1993 through September 1993,
$250,000 during the period October 1993 through March 1994, and $292,000
during the period April 1994 through September 1995. The advisory
contract has been extended until September 30, 1996, and will continue
thereafter unless cancelled by either party at the end of any contract
year. Certain loan agreements prohibit termination of this contract.
Saul Co. and Franklin Property Company ("Franklin"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Saul Co., provide services to the Real Estate Trust in the
areas of commercial property management and leasing, hotel management,
development and construction management, and acquisitions, sales and
financings of real property. The fee schedules for providing those
services by Saul Co. and Franklin are reviewed and approved by the
Trustees after comparison with rates charged by competitive firms for
comparable services in the various market areas. Fees paid to Saul Co.
and Franklin amounted to $4.8, $4.5 and $7.7 million in fiscal 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The Real Estate Trust reimburses the
Advisor and Franklin for costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the acquisition and development of real property on behalf of the Real
Estate Trust, in-house legal expenses, and for all travel expenses
incurred in connection with the affairs of the Real Estate Trust.
The Real Estate Trust pays the Advisor fees equal to 1% of the principal
amount of the unsecured notes as they are issued to offset its costs of
administering the program. These payments amounted to $80,000, $157,000
and $118,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
A subsidiary of Saul Co. is a general insurance agency which receives
commissions and countersignature fees in connection with the Real Estate
Trust's insurance program. Such commissions and fees amounted to
approximately $158,000, $157,000 and $221,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
F-26
<PAGE>
The Real Estate Trust had a working capital loan from the Saul Co. of
approximately $3.3 million as of September 30, 1993, bearing interest of 1/2
percent over prime per annum. The funds were used for general operating
purposes and the loan was satisfied in March 1994. Interest paid on this
loan in fiscal 1994 and 1993 amounted to $139,000 and $365,000, respectively.
In April 1994 the Real Estate Trust made an unsecured loan to the Saul
Company of $15.0 million bearing interest at 1/2 percent over prime and due
on demand. In fiscal 1995 the loan balance was reduced to $12.7 million.
Interest paid on this loan in fiscal 1995 and 1994 amounted to $1,180,000 and
$565,000, respectively.
TRANSACTIONS WITH OTHER AFFILIATES
The Real Estate Trust obtained a $5.0 million secured loan from The
Klingle Corporation in August 1992, which was repaid during fiscal 1994.
It accrued interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5%. The Real Estate Trust
incurred interest expense of $193,000 and $365,000 during fiscal 1994
and 1993, respectively.
REMUNERATION OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
For fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, the Real Estate Trust paid the
Trustees $81,000, $76,000 and $79,000, respectively, for their services.
No compensation was paid to the officers of the Real Estate Trust for
acting as such; however, one Trustee was paid by the Bank for his
services as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, and two
received payments for their services as directors of the Bank. Three of
the Trustees and all of the officers of the Real Estate Trust receive
compensation from Saul Co. as directors and/or officers.
LEGAL SERVICES
The law firm in which one of the Trustees is a partner received $0.8,
$1.3 and $1.2 million, excluding expense reimbursements, during fiscal
1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, for legal services to the Real
Estate Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
SALE OF AVENEL BUSINESS PARK-PHASE I
In 1984, the Real Estate Trust sold Avenel Business Park-Phase I to an
affiliate, Avenel Associates Limited Partnership (the"Partnership"), for
$8.9 million based on an independent appraisal. The managing general
partner of the Partnership was a subsidiary of Saul Co., and a
subsidiary of the Bank owned a 45% interest in the Partnership. The
Real Estate Trust received the sales price for the property in the form
of cash, a purchase money note in the amount of $1,735,000 and the
assumption of a first trust loan. The net gain realized upon the sale
was $3,023,000, after deducting a $781,000 discount of the purchase
money note due to its below market interest rate. The Real Estate Trust
has continued to defer recognition of this gain pending a sale of the
property to an unaffiliated entity.
In late August 1993, the Partnership sold Avenel Business Park-Phase I
to Saul Holdings and redeemed the purchase money note held by the Real
Estate Trust. The gain has continued to be deferred in accordance with
the accounting policy for gain recognition described in Note 2.
SAUL HOLDINGS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
See Note 2 for a description of this partnership. The Real Estate Trust
accounts for this investment under the equity method. The Real Estate
Trust's share of earnings for fiscal 1995 and 1994 were $3.1 and $2.4
million, respectively. The Real Estate Trust's share of losses for Saul
Holdings for its initial period of operations, August 27, 1993 through
September 30, 1993, was $467,000.
F-27
<PAGE>
OTHER TRANSACTIONS
The Real Estate Trust leases space to the Bank, Franklin and Saul Co. at
several of its income-producing properties. Minimum rents and
recoveries paid by these affiliates amounted to approximately $55,000,
$51,000 and $460,000, in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

space. In addition, during fiscal 1995, the investment in real estate
venture was transferred to REO and the Bank sold its limited partnership
interest in an office building at an amount that exceeded its net carrying
value.
During fiscal 1994, the Bank sold its interests in three limited
partnerships to other partners at an aggregate amount that exceeded the net
carrying values of these assets.
At September 30, 1994, the Bank had an ADC arrangement with, and held a
partnership interest in, a limited partnership. As discussed above, the
Bank sold its limited partnership interest and transferred its ADC
arrangement to REO during fiscal 1995. The partnership and ADC arrangement
were initially formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing, operating
and selling real estate and were accounted for under the equity method with
profits and losses allocated proportionately among the partnership
interests. At September 30, 1994, there were no outstanding commitments,
lines of credit or other arrangements between the Bank and the partnership
relating to these investments other than reflected below. Combined,
condensed financial information for the partnerships and ADC arrangement is
presented below:

before the deduction of such reserves.
Approximately 24.7% of the Bank's non-performing credit card loans are
located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. In general, the Bank's
remaining non-performing assets are located in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area, including approximately 58.4% located in Loudoun County,
Virginia.
The ultimate collection or realization of the Bank's non-performing assets
will be primarily dependent on the general economic conditions in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Based upon current economic conditions
and other factors, the Bank has provided loss allowances and initial
write-downs for real estate acquired in settlement of loans. See Note 13.
As circumstances change, it may be necessary to provide additional
allowances based on new information.
At September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Bank had $15.8 and $29.1 million,
respectively, of loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings, all
of which were included as performing loans. At September 30, 1995, the
Bank had commitments to lend $1.1 million of additional funds on loans
which have been restructured.
The amount of interest income that would have been recorded if non-accrual
assets and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their
original terms was $7.2, $9.1 and $10.5 million for the years ended
September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The amount of interest
income that was recorded on these loans was $2.0, $2.7 and $3.0 million for
the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

At September 30, 1994, bonds payable represented bonds (term and serial)
issued through a local housing finance agency secured by land and two
residential apartment buildings having an aggregate net book value of $25.7
million. The assets securing these bonds were included in real estate
held for investment or sale. During fiscal 1995, the Bank sold the

1994 bore interest at 9.3%.
Deferred debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to
$504,000 at September 30, 1994 and were included in other assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts were amortized using the
level-yield method over the life of the related debt. In connection with
the sale discussed above, the remaining unamortized amounts became a
component of the gain on sale during fiscal 1995.
At September 30, 1994, $3.0 million of bond proceeds were held in a
restricted cash account by the trustee for the purpose of paying principal
and interest on the bonds in the event that the Corporations were unable to
fund payments. This amount was included in interest-bearing deposits in

</TABLE>
On November 23, 1993, the Bank sold $150.0 million 9 1/4% Subordinated
Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures"). The Bank received net proceeds of
$143.6 million from the sale of the Debentures, of which approximately
$134.2 million was used to redeem $78.5 million of debentures due in 2002
and $50.0 million of debentures due in 2003 on December 23, 1993 and
December 24, 1993, respectively. The remaining net proceeds were used for
general corporate purposes. The Bank incurred a loss of $6.3 million,
after related income taxes, in connection with the redemption of these
debentures. The OTS approved the inclusion of the principal
F-38
<PAGE>
amount of the Debentures in the Bank's supplementary capital for regulatory
capital purposes.
The indenture pursuant to which the Debentures were sold ("the Indenture")
provides that the Bank may not pay dividends on its capital stock unless,
after giving effect to the dividend, no event of default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Bank is in compliance with its
regulatory capital requirements. In addition, the amount of the proposed
dividend may not exceed the sum of (i) $15.0 million, (ii) 66 2/3% of the
Bank's consolidated net income (as defined in the Indenture) accrued on a
cumulative basis commencing on October 1, 1993 and (iii) the aggregate net
cash proceeds received by the Bank after October 1, 1993 from the sale of
qualified capital stock or certain debt securities, minus the aggregate
amount of any restricted payments made by the Bank. Notwithstanding the
above restrictions on dividends, provided no event of default has occurred
or is continuing, the Indenture does not restrict the payment of dividends
on the Preferred Stock or any payment-in-kind preferred stock issued in
lieu of cash dividends on the Preferred Stock or the redemption of any such
payment-in-kind preferred stock.
Deferred debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to
$5.9 and $6.2 million at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are
included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
24. PREFERRED STOCK - THE BANK
In April 1993, the Bank sold $75.0 million of its Noncumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock, Series A ("Preferred Stock") in a private offering. Cash
dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears at an
annual rate of 13%. If the Board of Directors does not declare the full
amount of the noncumulative cash dividend accrued in respect of any
quarterly dividend period, in lieu thereof the Board of Directors will be
required to declare (subject to regulatory and other restrictions) a stock
dividend in the form of a new series of payment-in-kind preferred stock of
the Bank.
The OTS has approved the inclusion of the Preferred Stock as tier 1 or core
capital and has approved the payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock,
provided certain conditions are met. The Preferred Stock is not redeemable
until May 1, 2003 and is redeemable thereafter at the option of the Bank.
The holders of the Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except in certain
limited circumstances.
Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidating
distribution in the amount of $25 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends for the then-current dividend period in the event of any
voluntary liquidation of the Bank, after payment of the deposit accounts
and other liabilities of the Bank, and out of the assets available for
distribution to shareholders. The Preferred Stock ranks superior and prior
to the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank with respect to
dividend and liquidation rights.
25. RETIREMENT PLAN - THE BANK
The Bank participates in a defined contribution profit sharing retirement
plan (the "Plan") which covers those full-time employees who meet the
requirements as specified in the Plan. The Plan, which can be modified or
discontinued at any time, requires participating employees to contribute
2.0% of their compensation. Corporate contributions, at the discretionary
amount of three times the employee contribution, were $3.9, $3.5 and $3.1
million for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. There are no past service costs associated with the Plan and
the Bank has no liability under the Plan other than its current
contributions. The Plan owns 4.0% of the Bank's common stock.
26. REGULATORY MATTERS - THE BANK
Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA"), the Bank's regulatory capital requirements at September
30, 1995 were a 1.5% tangible capital requirement, a 3.0% core capital
requirement and an 8.0% total risk-based capital requirement. Under the
OTS "prompt corrective action" regulations, the Bank must maintain minimum
leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital
F-39
<PAGE>
ratios of 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively, to meet the ratios established
for "adequately capitalized" institutions. At September 30, 1995, the Bank
was in compliance with its tangible, core and total risk-based regulatory
capital requirements. In addition, on the basis of its balance sheet at
September 30, 1995, the Bank met the FIRREA-mandated fully phased-in capital
requirements and, on a fully phased-in basis, met the capital standards
established for "well capitalized" institutions under the "prompt corrective
action regulations." The information below is based upon the Bank's
understanding of the applicable FIRREA and "prompt corrective action"
regulations and related interpretations.

(1) Pursuant to OTS policy, net unrealized holding gains (losses) are
excluded from regulatory capital.
(2) Reflects an aggregate offset of $3.7 million representing the allowance
for general loan losses maintained against the Bank's equity
investments and non-includable subsidiaries which, pursuant to OTS
guidelines, is available as a "credit" against the deductions from
capital otherwise required for such investments.
(3) Effective January 1, 1995, the amount of supervisory goodwill
includable as core capital under OTS regulations decreased from 0.375%
to 0% of tangible assets.
(4) Under the OTS "prompt corrective action" regulations, the standards for
classification as "well capitalized" are a leverage (or "core capital")
ratio of at least 5.0%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least
6.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%.
At September 30, 1995, the Bank had $3.9 million in loans to and
investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities impermissible for
national banks ("non-includable subsidiaries") which are required to be
phased-out from all three capital requirements according to the following
schedule (which reflects OTS approval of the Bank's use of
F-40
<PAGE>
a delayed phase-in period pursuant to legislation enacted in October
1992): 60% beginning July 1, 1995 and 100% beginning July 1, 1996. At
September 30, 1995, the Bank also had two equity investments with an
aggregate balance, after subsequent valuation allowances, of $29.2
million which were fully phased-out from total risk-based capital.
As of September 30, 1995, the Bank had $45.7 million in supervisory
goodwill, all of which was excluded from core capital pursuant to statutory
provisions.
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. Accordingly, if the Bank is unable to dispose of any
REO property (through bulk sales or otherwise) prior to the end of its
applicable five-year holding period and is unable to obtain an extension of
such five-year holding period from the OTS, the Bank could be required to
deduct the then-current book value of such REO property from total
risk-based capital. In September 1995, the Bank received from the OTS a
one-year extension of the five-year holding period for certain of its REO
properties. The following table sets forth the Bank's REO at September 30,
1995, after valuation allowances of $135.0 million, by the fiscal year in
which the property was acquired through foreclosure.

Under the OTS "prompt corrective action" regulations, an institution is
categorized as "well capitalized" if it has a leverage ratio of at least
5.0%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0% and a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. The Bank's regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the requirements for a "well capitalized" institution at
September 30, 1995. Additionally, on a fully phased-in basis at September
30, 1995, the Bank's regulatory capital ratios would exceed the ratios
established for "well capitalized" institutions.
The Bank is subject to a written agreement with the OTS dated September 30,
1991. The agreement, which was amended on October 29, 1993, addresses,
among other things, transactions with affiliates, reductions of real estate
acquired in settlement of loans and asset quality. Specifically, the Bank
agreed that, without receiving the prior approval of the OTS, it would not
increase its investment in certain real estate projects beyond specified
levels. In addition, the Bank must provide the OTS with 15 days notice
prior to selling certain significant business assets.
In November 1995, Congress passed and presented to President Clinton, the
Balanced Budget Act of 1995 (the "Budget Act") which could, among other
things, capitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and
either reduce or eliminate the anticipated disparity between Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF") and SAIF insurance premiums. Under the Budget Act: (i) thrift
institutions would pay a one-time assessment estimated to be up to 85 basis
points on their SAIF-insured deposits to increase the SAIF's reserve ratio
to 1.25%; and (ii) effective January 1, 1996, the assessment base for
interest payments on Financing Corporation bonds, which were issued in the
late 1980s to resolve troubled thrifts, would be expanded to cover all
FDIC-insured institutions, including members
F-41
<PAGE>
of both BIF and SAIF. If the legislation is enacted in its current form,
the Bank would be required to pay a one-time assessment of up to $35
million in the first quarter of calendar year 1996; however, the Bank's
semi-annual risk-based deposit insurance premiums should be reduced in
future years.
27. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES - THE BANK
LOANS RECEIVABLE:
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Bank may make
loans to executive officers and directors, their immediate family members
or companies with which they are affiliated. These loans are on
substantially the same terms as similar loans with unrelated parties. An
analysis of activity with respect to these loans for the year ended
September 30, 1995 is as follows:

=============
</TABLE>
SERVICES:
B. F. Saul Company, which is a shareholder of the Trust, and its
subsidiaries provide certain services to the Bank. These services
include property management, cafeteria management, insurance brokerage
and leasing. Fees for these services were $460,000, $548,000 and
$630,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
The law firm in which one director of the Bank is a partner received
$2.8, $2.4 and $2.7 million for legal services rendered to the Bank
during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
For the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, one of the
directors of the Bank was paid $30,000, $30,000 and $28,000,
respectively, for consulting services rendered to the Bank. Another
director of the Bank was paid total fees of $75,000 and $50,000 for the
years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, for consulting
services.
A former director of the Bank and his wife are entitled to $125,000 per
year in supplemental retirement benefits under an agreement entered into
by the Bank in 1990 in connection with the director's former employment
as a Vice Chairman of the Bank. The director also received compensation
under an agreement for ongoing services provided to the Bank. Amounts
paid to the director under these agreements totaled $165,000, $167,000
and $165,000 in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT:
The Bank and the other companies in the Trust's affiliated group are
parties to a tax sharing agreement dated June 28, 1990 (the "Tax Sharing
Agreement"). The Tax Sharing Agreement provides for payments to be made
by members of the Trust's affiliated group to the Trust based on their
separate company tax liabilities. The Tax Sharing Agreement also
provides that, to the extent net operating losses or tax credits of a
particular member are used to reduce the overall tax liability of the
Trust's affiliated group, such member will be reimbursed by the other
members of the affiliated group that have taxable income in an amount
equal to such tax reduction. The Bank paid $20.5, $9.6 and $5.0 million
to the Trust during fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, under the
Tax Sharing Agreement. OTS approval of the tax sharing payments during
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 was conditioned on a pledge by the Trust of
certain assets to secure certain of its obligations under the Tax Sharing
Agreement. Under the terms of the Bank's written agreement with the OTS
dated September 30, 1991, as amended, the Bank has agreed not to make any
tax sharing payments to the Trust
F-42
<PAGE>
unless such payments are approved by the OTS. However, the Bank
continues to account for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Sharing
Agreement. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, the estimated tax sharing
payment payable to the Trust by the Bank was $17.7 and $12.0 million,
respectively.
OTHER:
The Bank paid $4.2, $3.9 and $3.5 million for office space leased from or
managed by companies affiliated with the Bank or its directors during the
years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Trust, the B. F. Saul Company and Chevy Chase Lake Corporation
("Lake"), an affiliate of the Bank, from time to time maintain
interest-bearing deposit accounts with the Bank. Those accounts totaled
$26.6 million at September 30, 1995. The Bank paid interest on the
accounts amounting to $1.1 million in fiscal 1995.
During fiscal 1995, the Bank purchased land and building plans from Lake
for $1.3 million for the purpose of contructing a building to house some
of the Bank's operations.
During fiscal 1994, the Bank sold 12.70 acres of retail land to Saul
Holdings, L.P., at an amount equal to its net carrying value.
The Bank owned approximately 45% of Avenel Associates Limited Partnership
("Avenel"), which owned a commercial property. The general partner in
the partnership was a subsidiary of the B. F. Saul Company. In August
1993, Avenel sold this property and the Bank sold two real estate
properties to Saul Holdings, L.P., a newly formed partnership in which
the Trust, other affiliated entities of the Trust and public
shareholders, directly and indirectly, own partnership interests. These
assets were sold at amounts that exceeded their net carrying values.
During fiscal 1994, upon payment of a final distribution to its partners,
Avenel was dissolved.
28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - THE BANK
The Bank, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk and other derivative financial
instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its
own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit at both fixed and variable
rates, letters of credit, interest-rate cap agreements and assets sold with
limited recourse. All such financial instruments are held or issued for
purposes other than trading.
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of
involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party is represented by the contractual notional amount of these
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Bank is also a party to derivative financial instruments that do not
have off-balance-sheet risk (e.g. interest-rate cap agreements).
COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT:
The Bank had $11,662.0 million of commitments to extend credit at
September 30, 1995. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend
to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements. These commitments are subject to the Bank's
normal underwriting and credit evaluation policies and procedures.
F-43
<PAGE>
Loans approved but not closed are commitments for fixed or
adjustable-rate residential loans which are secured by real estate.
The Bank currently requires borrowers to obtain private mortgage
insurance on all loans where the loan-to-value ratio exceeds 80%.
FORWARD COMMITMENTS:
To manage the potentially adverse impact of interest rate movements on
the fixed-rate mortgage loan pipeline, the Bank hedges its pipeline by
entering into whole loan and mortgage-backed security forward sale
commitments. Forward sale commitments are used to sell specific
financial instruments (whole loans or mortgage-backed securities) at a
future date for a specified price. Forward sale commitments generally
settle within 90 days. Gains and loans are deferred and recorded as a
component of the gain on sales of loans at the time the forward sale
commitment matures. At September 30, 1995, the Bank had whole loan and
mortgage-backed security forward sale commitments of $9.0 and $87.6
million, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 1995, the Bank had
$9.4 million in mortgage-backed security forward purchase commitments
related to its hedging activities.
LETTERS OF CREDIT:
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At September
30, 1995, the Bank had written letters of credit in the amount of $38.6
million, which were issued to guarantee the performance of and
irrevocably assure payment by customers under construction projects.
Of the total, $21.7 million will expire in fiscal 1996 and the remainder
will expire over time through fiscal 1999. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending loan commitments to customers. Investment and mortgage-backed
securities with a book value of $10.9 million were pledged as collateral
for certain of these letters of credit at September 30, 1995.
RECOURSE ARRANGEMENTS:
The Bank is obligated under various recourse provisions (primarily
related to credit losses) related to the securitization and sale of
credit card receivables, home equity credit line receivables, automobile
loan receivables and amounts on deposit in certain spread accounts
through the asset-backed securitizations described in Note 9. At
September 30, 1995 and 1994, the primary recourse to the Bank was $93.1
and $65.9 million, respectively. As a result of these recourse
provisions, the Bank maintained restricted cash accounts amounting to
$98.4 and $73.1 million, at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
which are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Bank is obligated under various recourse provisions related to the
swap of single-family residential loans for participation certificates
and mortgage-backed securities issued to the Bank by FHLMC and FNMA. At
September 30, 1995, recourse to the Bank under these arrangements was
$4.4 million. As security for the payment of funds due under certain of
the FHLMC recourse obligations, the Bank is required to post collateral.
At September 30, 1995, mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral
under these obligations had a book value of $5.1 million.
INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS:
Interest rate cap agreements are used to limit the Bank's exposure to
rising short-term interest rates related to certain of its asset-backed
securitizations. At September 30, 1995, the Bank was a party to nine
interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0
million with maturity dates ranging from June 30, 1996 through June 30,
1999. The interest rate cap agreements entitle the Bank to receive
compensatory payments from the cap provider, which is a AAA-rated (by
Standard & Poor's) counterparty,
F-44
<PAGE>
equal to the product of (a) the amount by which the one-month LIBOR
exceeds 7.00% and (b) the then outstanding notional principal amount for
a predetermined period of time. The Bank has no obligation to make
payments to the provider of the cap or any other party. The Bank is
exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparty, but does not expect the counterparty to fail to meet its
obligation given its credit rating.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT:
The Bank's principal real estate lending market is the metropolitan
Washington, D.C. area. In addition, approximately 17.6% of the Bank's
outstanding credit card loans at September 30, 1995 were generated by
cardholders residing in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Service
industries and Federal, state and local governments employ a significant
portion of the Washington, D.C. area labor force. Adverse changes in
economic conditions could have a direct impact on the timing and amount
of payments by borrowers.

29. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - THE BANK
The majority of the Bank's assets and liabilities are financial
instruments; however, certain of these financial instruments lack an
available trading market. Significant estimates, assumptions and present
value calculations were therefore used for the purposes of the following
disclosure, resulting in a great degree of subjectivity inherent in the
indicated fair value amounts. Comparability among financial institutions
may be difficult due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques
and the numerous estimates and assumptions which must be made. The
estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments at September 30,
1995 and 1994 are as follows:

(1) Net of deferred debt issuance costs which are included in other assets

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
amounts at September 30, 1995 and 1994:
CASH, DUE FROM BANKS, INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD:
Carrying amount approximates fair value.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE: Fair value is determined using quoted prices for
loans, or securities backed by loans with similar characteristics, or
outstanding commitment prices from investors.
LOANS HELD FOR SECURITIZATION AND SALE: The carrying value of loans held
for securitization and sale approximates fair value because such
receivables are sold at face value.
F-46
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Fair value is based on quoted market prices.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES: Fair value is based on quoted market prices,
dealer quotes or estimates using dealer quoted market prices for similar
securities.
LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET OF RESERVE: Fair value of certain homogeneous groups
of loans (e.g., single-family residential, automobile loans, home
improvement loans and fixed-rate commercial and multifamily loans) is
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on contractual
repayment schedules. The discount rates used in these analyses are based
on either the interest rates paid on U.S. Treasury securities of comparable
maturities adjusted for credit risk and non-interest operating costs, or
the interest rates currently offered by the Bank for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans which reprice
frequently at market rates (e.g., home equity, variable-rate commercial and
multifamily, real estate construction and ground loans), the carrying
amount approximates fair value. Because credit card receivables are
generally sold at face value through the Bank's securitization program,
such face value is used as the estimated fair value of these receivables.
The fair value of the Bank's loan portfolio as presented above does not
include the value of established credit card and home equity credit line
customer relationships, or the value relating to estimated cash flows from
future receivables and the associated fees generated from existing
customers.
INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS: Fair value is based on dealer quotes.
OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS: The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank
stock, accrued interest receivable, excess servicing assets,
interest-bearing deposits maintained pursuant to various asset
securitizations and other short-term receivables approximates fair value.
The fair value of one of the Bank's investments is based on quoted market
prices.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS WITH NO STATED MATURITIES: Deposit liabilities payable on
demand, consisting of NOW accounts, money market deposits, statement
savings and other deposit accounts, are assumed to have an estimated fair
value equal to carrying value. The indicated fair value does not consider
the value of the Bank's established deposit customer relationships.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS WITH STATED MATURITIES: Fair value of fixed-rate
certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses
using the remaining maturity of the underlying accounts and interest rates
currently offered on certificates of deposit with similar maturities.
BORROWINGS: These instruments consist of securities sold under repurchase
agreements and other short-term borrowings, bonds payable, notes payable
and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. For borrowings which either reprice
frequently to market interest rates or are short-term in duration, the
carrying amount approximates fair value. Fair value of the remaining
amounts borrowed is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using
interest rates currently charged by the lender for comparable borrowings
with similar remaining maturities.
CAPITAL NOTES-SUBORDINATED: Fair value of the Debentures is based on
quoted market prices. The carrying amount of the $10.0 million private
placement capital note approximates fair value.
OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES: The carrying amount of custodial accounts,
amounts due to banks, accrued interest payable and other short-term
payables approximates fair value.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The difference between the original fees
charged by the Bank for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit
and the current fees charged to enter into similar agreements is
immaterial. Fair value of forward commitments is based on the estimated
amount that the Bank would pay to terminate the arrangements at the
reporting date, taking into account the remaining terms of the arrangements
and the counterparties' credit standing, where applicable, which is
immaterial.

30. LITIGATION - THE BANK
During the normal course of business, the Bank is involved in certain
litigation, including litigation arising out of the collection of loans,
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 are material, the Bank
denies liability and, in the opinion of management, litigation which is
currently pending will not have a material impact on the financial
condition or future operations of the Bank.
31. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - THE BANK
On November 13, 1995, the Bank sold approximately 2,000 residential lots in
its Planned Unit Developments at an amount that approximated its net
carrying value. The impact of the transaction was to reduce real estate
held for sale, net of allowance for losses, by approximately $49.2 million.
32. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - THE TRUST
The Trust is involved in a number of lawsuits arising from the normal
course of its business. On the basis of consultations with counsel,
management does not believe that any material loss will result.
F-48
<PAGE>
33. INCOME TAXES - THE TRUST
The Trust voluntarily terminated its qualification as a real estate
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code during fiscal 1978.
As discussed in Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, the Trust adopted SFAS 109 effective October 1, 1993, which had
the effect of increasing the Trust's net deferred tax asset by
approximately $36.3 million. For fiscal 1993 the Trust accounted for income
taxes in accordance with APB 11. The provisions for income taxes for the
years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, consist of the following:

On August 10, 1993, Congress passed the Tax Revenue Reconciliation Act of
1993, retroactively increasing the Federal corporate income tax rate from
34% to 35% effective January 1, 1993. As a result, the Trust's income tax
rate for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 35.00%, 35.00% and 34.75%,
respectively.
The Trust's effective income tax rate varies from the statutory Federal
income tax rate as a result of the following factors:

Under SFAS 109, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of
September 30, 1995, management has maintained a valuation allowance in part
to reduce the net deferred tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards
related to state taxes. Historically, the Bank has generated taxable income
while the Real Estate Trust has generated taxable losses. Net operating loss
carryforwards are realizable through future taxable income of the Bank since
the Trust files a consolidated tax return for federal purposes. The net
operating loss carryforwards are not expected to be realizable for state tax
purposes since a consolidated return is not filed with state tax authorities.
Management believes the existing net deductible temporary differences will
reverse during periods in which the Bank generates taxable income in excess
of Real Estate Trust taxable losses. Management believes that the positive
consolidated earnings will continue as a result of the Bank's earnings.
See further discussion in Notes 2 and 3.
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
The Trust's affiliated group, including the Bank, entered into a tax
sharing agreement dated June 28, 1990. This agreement provides that
payments be made by members of the affiliated group to the Trust based on
their respective allocable shares of the overall federal income tax
liability of the affiliated group for taxable years and partial taxable
years beginning on or after that date. Allocable shares of the overall tax
liability are prorated among the members with taxable income calculated on
a separate return basis. The agreement also provides that, to the extent
net operating losses or tax credits of a particular member are used to
reduce overall tax liability of the Trust's affiliated group, such member
will be reimbursed on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the other members of the
affiliated group that have taxable income in an amount equal to such tax
reduction. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Bank paid $20.5, $9.6 and
$5.0 million, respectively, to the Trust during fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Subsequent to September 30, 1995, the OTS approved and the Bank made a
tax sharing payment of $10.0 million. Effective June 30, 1991, the Bank
agreed with the OTS not to make any further tax sharing payments to the
Trust without permission of the OTS.
In recent years, the operations of the Trust have generated net operating
losses while the Bank has reported net income. It is anticipated that the
Trust's consolidation of the Bank's operations into the Trust's federal
income tax return will result in the use of the Trust's net operating
losses to reduce the federal income taxes the Bank would otherwise owe. If
in any future year, the Bank has taxable losses or unused credits, the
Trust would be obligated to reimburse the Bank for the greater of (i) the
tax benefit to the group using such tax losses or unused tax credits in the
group's consolidated Federal income tax returns or (ii) the amount of tax
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.
As of September 30, 1995, the alternative minimum tax carryforward was $2.0
million.

34. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - THE TRUST
In June 1990, the Trust acquired from affiliated companies an additional
equity interest in the Bank, which raised the Trust's ownership share of
the Bank to 80%. In exchange for the interest acquired, the Trust issued
450,000 shares of a new class of $10.50 cumulative preferred shares of
beneficial interest with a par value of $1 ("preferred shares"). The
transaction has been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar
to the pooling of interests method because the entities are considered to
be under common control. In addition, the Trust acquired two real estate
properties from an affiliate in exchange for 66,000 preferred shares.
At September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, the amount of dividends in arrears
on the preferred shares was $26,644,500 ($51.64 per share), $21,226,500
($41.14 per share) and $15,808,500 ($30.64 per share), respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON RESPONSIBILITY
The Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial information in
this report have been prepared by the Advisor (management) in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances, based
on best estimates and judgments, with consideration given to materiality.
The Trust maintains a system of internal accounting control supported by
documentation to provide reasonable assurance that the books and records reflect
authorized transactions of the Trust, and that the assets of the Trust are
safeguarded.
The Board of Trustees exercises its responsibility for the Trust's
financial statements through its Audit Committee, which is composed of two
outside Trustees who meet periodically with the Trust's independent accountants
and management. The Committee considers the audit scope, discusses financial
and reporting subjects, and reviews management actions on these matters. The
independent accountants have full access to the Audit Committee.
The independent accountants are recommended by the Audit Committee and
confirmed by the Board of Trustees. They provide an objective assessment of
the fairness and accuracy of the financial statements, consider the adequacy
of the system of internal accounting controls, and perform such tests and
other procedures as they deem necessary to express an opinion on the fairness
of the financial statements. Management believes that the policies and
procedures it has established provide reasonable assurance that its
operations are conducted in conformity with law and a high standard of
business conduct.
