NOTES
TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
June
30,
2005
(amounts
in thousands except share and per share data)
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in
the United States of America, hereinafter referred to as "generally accepted
accounting principles," for complete financial statements. The condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynex Capital, Inc.
and its qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiaries and taxable
REIT subsidiary (collectively, "Dynex" or the "Company"). All inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting
equity and control does not rest with others. The Company follows the equity
method of accounting for investments with greater than 20% and less than a
50%
interest in partnerships and corporate joint ventures or when it is able to
influence the financial and operating policies of the investee but owns less
than 20% of the voting equity. For all other investments, the cost method is
applied.
The
Company has elected to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for
its
stock based compensation issued to employees and non-employee directors.
Accordingly, the Company did not recognize compensation expense upon the
issuance of its stock appreciation rights and stock options.
The
Company believes it has complied with the requirements for qualification as
a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To the
extent the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it
generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the amount of its income
or gain that is distributed as dividends to shareholders.
In
the
opinion of management, all significant adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements have been included. The financial statements
presented are unaudited. Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2005. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.
The unaudited financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the "2004 Form 10-K"),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The primary estimates inherent in
the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are discussed below
and
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2004 Form
10-K.
The
Company uses estimates in establishing fair value for its financial instruments.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are carried in the accompanying
financial statements at estimated fair value. Securities are both fixed-rate
and
adjustable-rate. Estimates of fair value for securities are based on market
prices provided by certain dealers, when available. Estimates of fair value
for
certain other securities are determined by calculating the present value of
the
projected cash flows of the instruments using market-based assumptions such
as
estimated future interest rates and estimated market spreads to applicable
indices for comparable securities, and using collateral based assumptions such
as prepayment rates and credit loss assumptions based on the most recent
performance and anticipated performance of the underlying
collateral.
The
Company also has credit risk on loans in its portfolio as discussed in Note
4.
An allowance for loan losses has been estimated and established for currently
existing losses in the loan portfolio, which are deemed to be probable as to
their occurrence. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated and adjusted
periodically by management based on the actual and estimated timing and amount
of credit losses. Provisions made to increase the allowance for loan losses
are
presented as provision for loan losses in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations. The Company's actual credit losses may
differ from those estimates used to establish the allowance.
Certain amounts for 2004 have been reclassified to conform
to
the presentation adopted in 2005.
NOTE
2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net
income (loss) per common share is presented on both a basic and diluted per
common share basis. Diluted net income (loss) per common share assumes the
conversion of the convertible preferred stock into common stock, using the
if-converted method, and stock appreciation rights and options to the extent
that they are outstanding, using the treasury stock method, but only if these
items are dilutive. Each share of Series D preferred stock is convertible into
one share of common stock. The following table reconciles the numerator and
denominator for both basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

During
the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company redeemed, at par, $195,653 of
non-recourse securitization financing bonds collateralized by the single-family
loans pursuant to its redemption rights within the respective indenture. The
redemption was partially financed with $170,655 of repurchase agreements, of
which $165,743 remained outstanding at June 30, 2005. The redeemed bonds, which
collateralize the related repurchase agreement financing, have been removed
from
the Company's financial statements. The repurchase agreement borrowings
have been presented as securitization financing in the financial
statements. The redeemed non-recourse securitization financing bonds have not
been retired by the Company, because of its plans to reissue the bonds before
the end of the year.
During
the second quarter, the Company sold its interests in approximately $367,154
in
securitization finance receivables and the associated securitization trust,
resulting in the derecognition of these receivables and the extinguishment
of
$363,871 in related securitization financing bonds. The Company received
proceeds of $8,000 for the sale of these interests, recorded mortgage servicing
assets of $3,176 for the retained servicing on the loans, and recognized a
gain
of $8,228. As part of this transaction, the Company also sold all of the
outstanding stock of one of its subsidiaries on which it recorded a gain of
$1,000, which was recorded in other income.
The
fair
value of the mortgage servicing assets of $3,176 recorded in connection with
the
derecognition of the securitization trusts discussed above was estimated using
a
discount rate of 16%. The cash flows were modeled using a CPR of 8% and
loss rates of approximately 4.2% and 3.6%. The mortgage servicing
cash flows are calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the underlying
loans, which is projected based on the scheduled principal payments and expected
prepayment speeds.
NOTE
4 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The
Company reserves for estimated currently existing credit losses on loans in
its
investment portfolio. The following tables summarize the aggregate activity

Note
3.
The
Company identified $55,659 and $72,431 of impaired commercial mortgage loans
at
June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The decline is primarily
due
to the repayment of approximately $8,350 of loans, which were identified as
impaired at December 31, 2004, during 2005 as well as improvement in the
performance of the underlying real estate collateral value of certain other
previously impaired loans. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company
had approximately $36,896 and $50,941 respectively, in sixty-plus day delinquent
commercial mortgage loans outstanding. At June 30, 2005, the Company had
reserves or other credit enhancement of $19,181 against commercial mortgage
loans.

On
June
30, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,586 on its tax lien security
to adjust the recorded value of the tax liens to its estimated fair value.
The
fair value was estimated by discounting the cash flows the Company projects
to
collect on this investment based on a probability weighted analysis. Effective
June 1, 2005, the Company placed this investment on non-accrual due to the
difficulty in reliably estimating the monthly cash flows from the security.
At
June
30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had real estate owned with a current
carrying value of $1,310 and $1,596, respectively, resulting from foreclosures
on the properties collateralizing the delinquent property tax receivables and
securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company
collected an aggregate of $1,582 and $3,892, respectively, on delinquent
property tax receivables and securities, including net sales proceeds from
related real estate owned.

NOTE
10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
GLS
Capital, Inc. ("GLS"), a subsidiary of the Company, and the County of Allegheny,
Pennsylvania ("Allegheny County"), were defendants in a lawsuit in the
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the "Commonwealth Court"), the appellate
court of the state of Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs were two local businesses seeking
status to represent as a class delinquent taxpayers in Allegheny County whose
delinquent tax liens had been assigned to GLS. Plaintiffs challenged the right
of Allegheny County and GLS to collect certain interest, costs and expenses
related to delinquent property tax receivables in Allegheny County, and whether
the County had the right to assign the delinquent property tax receivables
to
GLS and therefore employ procedures for collection enjoyed by Allegheny County
under state statute. This lawsuit was related to the purchase by GLS of
delinquent property tax receivables from Allegheny County in 1997, 1998, and
1999. In July 2001, the Commonwealth Court issued a ruling that addressed,
among
other things, (i) the right of GLS to charge to the delinquent taxpayer a rate
of interest of 12% per annum versus 10% per annum on the collection of its
delinquent property tax receivables, (ii) the charging of a full month's
interest on a partial month's delinquency; (iii) the charging of attorney's
fees
to the delinquent taxpayer for the collection of such tax receivables, and
(iv)
the charging to the delinquent taxpayer of certain other fees and costs. The
Commonwealth Court in its opinion remanded for further consideration to the
lower trial court items (i), (ii) and (iv) above, and ruled that neither
Allegheny County nor GLS had the right to charge attorney's fees to the
delinquent taxpayer related to the collection of such tax receivables. The
Commonwealth Court further ruled that Allegheny County could assign its rights
in the delinquent property tax receivables to GLS, and that plaintiffs could
maintain equitable class in the action. In October 2001, GLS, along with
Allegheny County, filed an Application for Extraordinary Jurisdiction with
the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Western District appealing certain aspects of
the
Commonwealth Court's ruling. In March 2003, the Supreme Court issued its opinion
as follows: (i) the Supreme Court determined that GLS can charge delinquent
taxpayers a rate of 12% per annum; (ii) the Supreme Court remanded back to
the
lower trial court the charging of a full month's interest on a partial month's
delinquency; (iii) the Supreme Court revised the Commonwealth Court's
ruling regarding recouping attorney fees for collection of the receivables
indicating that the recoupment of fees requires a judicial review of collection
procedures used in each case; and (iv) the Supreme Court upheld the Commonwealth
Court's ruling that GLS can charge certain fees and costs, while remanding
back
to the lower trial court for consideration the facts of each individual case.
Finally, the Supreme Court, in March 2003, remanded to the lower trial court
to
determine if the remaining claims can be resolved as a class action. In August
2003, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted a law amending and clarifying certain
provisions of the Pennsylvania statute governing GLS' right to the collection
of
certain interest, costs and expenses. The law is retroactive to 1996, and amends
and clarifies that as to items (ii), (iii) and (iv) noted above by the Supreme
Court, that GLS can charge a full month's interest on a partial month's
delinquency, that GLS can charge the taxpayer for legal fees, and that GLS
can
charge certain fees and costs to the taxpayer at redemption. Subsequent to
the
enactment of the law, challenges to the retroactivity provisions of the law
were
filed in separate cases, which did not include GLS as a defendant. In September
2004, the Trial Court in that litigation upheld the retroactive provisions
enacted in 2003. Plaintiffs have appealed in that case. The lower trial court
had reset the hearing on the class-action status for June 2005, but the hearing
was delayed until no earlier than September 2005. We believe that the ultimate
outcome of this litigation will not have a material impact on our financial
condition, but may have a material impact on reported results for the particular
period presented.
The
Company and Dynex Commercial, Inc. ("DCI"), formerly an affiliate of the Company
and now known as DCI Commercial, Inc., were defendants in state court in Dallas
County, Texas in the matter of Basic Capital Management et al (collectively,
"BCM" or "the Plaintiffs") versus Dynex Commercial, Inc. et al. The suit was
filed in April 1999 originally against DCI, and in March 2000, BCM amended
the
complaint and added the Company as a defendant. The complaint, which was further
amended during pretrial proceedings, alleged that, among other things, DCI
and
the Company failed to fund tenant improvement or other advances allegedly
required on various loans made by DCI to BCM, which loans were subsequently
acquired by the Company; that DCI breached an alleged $160,000 "master" loan
commitment entered into in February 1998; and that DCI breached another alleged
loan commitment of approximately $9,000. The trial commenced in January 2004
and
in February 2004, the jury in the case rendered a verdict in favor of one of
the
plaintiffs and against the Company on the alleged breach of the loan agreements
for tenant improvements and awarded that plaintiff damages in the amount of
$253. The jury also awarded the Plaintiffs' attorneys fees in the amount of
$2,100. The jury entered a separate verdict against DCI in favor of BCM under
two mutually exclusive damage models, for $2,200 and $25,600, respectively.
The
jury found in favor of DCI on the alleged $9,000 loan commitment, but did not
find in favor of DCI for counterclaims made against BCM. After considering
post-trial motions, the presiding judge entered judgment in favor of the Company
and DCI, effectively overturning the verdicts of the jury and dismissing damages
awarded by the jury. Plaintiffs have filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Judicial District of Texas at Dallas. DCI is a former affiliate
of
the Company, and the Company believes that it will have no obligation for
amounts, if any, awarded to the plaintiffs as a result of the actions of DCI.
Various briefs have been filed in the litigation, and the Company expects the
appeal will be heard by the end of 2005.
On
February 11, 2005, a putative class action complaint alleging violations of
the
federal securities laws and various state common law claims was filed against
the Company, our subsidiary MERIT Securities Corporation, Stephen J. Benedetti,
the Company's Executive Vice President, and Thomas H. Potts, the Company's
former President and a former Director, in United States District Court for
the
Southern District of New York ("District Court") by the Teamsters Local 445
Freight Division Pension Fund ("Teamsters"). The lawsuit purported to be a
class
action on behalf of purchasers of MERIT Series 13 securitization financing
bonds, which are collateralized by manufactured housing loans. On May 31, 2005,
the Teamsters filed an amended class action complaint. The amended complaint
dropped all state common law claims but added federal securities claims related
to the MERIT Series 12 securitization financing bonds. The Company filed a
motion to dismiss the amended complaint on July 15, 2005 to which Teamsters
filed a response with the District Court on August 15, 2005. The Company has
evaluated the allegations and believes them to be without merit and intends
to
vigorously defend itself against them.
Although
no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the above
litigation, the Company believes the resolution of these lawsuits will not
have
a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet but could materially affect
our consolidated results of operations in a given year.
NOTE
11 - STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION
On
January 2, 2005, the Company granted 126,297 stock appreciation rights (SAR)

per share, which was the market price of the stock on the grant
date.
On
June
17, 2005, the Company granted options to acquire an aggregate of 40,000 shares
of common stock to the members of its Board of Directors under the Dynex
Capital, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price
of
$8.46 per share, which represents 110% of the closing stock price on the grant
date, expire on June 17, 2010 and were fully vested when granted.

NOTE
12 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No.
123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R). This statement supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. The statement
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity
exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. This statement focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee
services in share-based payment transactions. The most significant change
resulting from this statement is the requirement for public companies to expense
employee share-based payments under fair value as originally introduced in
SFAS
No. 123. This statement is effective for public companies as of the beginning
of
the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005, or December
15, 2005 for small business issuers. The Company will adopt this statement
effective January 1, 2006. The Company presented the amount that would have
been
recorded in general and administrative expense for the quarter and six month
period ended June 30, 2005 if the Company had adopted the provisions of FAS
123R
in Note 11 above.
In
June
2004, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract 03-1, "The Meaning
of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments"
("EITF 03-1"). EITF 03-1 provides authoritative guidance regarding determining
when an investment is considered impaired and the impairment is
other-than-temporary. EITF 03-1 requires that the Company evaluate whether
an
impairment is other-than-temporary, and, if the impairment is
other-than-temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of the
amortized cost over the estimated fair value of the investment. In September
2004 the FASB delayed the effective date of paragraphs 10-20 of this issue.
These paragraphs give guidance on how to evaluate and recognize an impairment
loss that is other-than-temporary. The delay does not suspend the requirement
to
recognize other than temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative
literature. On July 5, 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional guidance
on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and stated that the proposed
FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF Issue No. 03-1-a, "Implementation Guidance
for
the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1," will be issued as
final. The final FSP will supersede EITF 03-1. The Company does not expect
the
adoption of the FSP, as contained in its current draft form, to have a material
effect on our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of
operations, or liquidity.
Item
2. Management's
Discussion
and Analysis
of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company as of and for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2005 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
report.
The
Company is a financial services company organized as a real estate investment
trust (REIT), which currently invests in loans and securities principally
consisting of, or secured by, single family mortgage loans and commercial
mortgage loans. The loans and securities in which the Company invests have
generally been pooled and pledged to a securitization trust (i.e. securitized)
as collateral for non-recourse bonds ("non-recourse securitization financing"),
which provides long-term financing for such loans while limiting credit,
interest rate and liquidity risk. The Company earns the net interest spread
between the interest income on the loans and securities in its investment
portfolio and the interest and other expenses associated with the non-recourse
securitization financing. The Company also collects payments from property
owners on its investment in delinquent property tax receivables. The
predominant risk to the Company's investment portfolio is credit risk as
discussed further in Results of Operations.
In
recent
years, the Company elected to sell certain non-core assets, improving its
financial flexibility by converting investments into cash, and, in 2004, the
Company completed a restructuring of its equity capital while simultaneously
eliminating $18.5 million in preferred dividends in arrears. The Company's
total
investment portfolio assets over the last four quarters have declined
approximately $817 million to $901 million at June 30, 2005. During that time,
the Company improved its liquidity and financial position, and cash and cash
equivalents and liquid securities at June 30, 2005 were approximately
$63 million, with an additional $18 million expected from the reissuance
of securitization financing bonds redeemed during the
quarter.
During
the second quarter, the Company sold its interests in approximately $367.2
million in securitization finance receivables and the associated securitization
trust, resulting in the derecognition of these receivables and $363.9 million
in
related securitization financing bonds. The Company received proceeds of $8.0
million for the sale of these interests, and recorded a gain of $8.2 million.
As
part of this transaction, the Company also sold one of its subsidiaries on
which
it recorded a gain of $1.0 million, which was recorded in other
income.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Company redeemed, at par, $195.7 million
of
non-recourse securitization financing bonds collateralized by the single-family
loans pursuant to its redemption rights within the respective indenture. The
redemption was partially financed with $170.7 million of repurchase agreements,
of which $165.7 million remained outstanding at June 30, 2005. The redeemed
bonds, which collateralize the related repurchase agreement financing, have
been
removed from the Company's financial statements. This repurchase agreement
has
been presented as securitization financing in the financial statements. The
redeemed non-recourse securitization financing bonds have not been retired
by
the Company, because of its plans to reissue the bonds before the end of the
year.
At
June
30, 2005, the Company had significant amounts of investable capital, which
is
currently invested in cash and cash equivalents and highly-liquid
short-term securities. Given the low interest rate environment and the
flat yield curve, the Company has not found compelling longer-term investment
opportunities where the risk-adjustd return on those opportunities is acceptable
to the Company. Further, given the challenging reinvestment environment in
traditional mortgage REIT opportunities, the Company is considering investments
in assets that are outside those of a traditional mortgage REIT, and at some
point may forego its REIT status. For the near-term, the Company will
continue its efforts on managing its current investment portfolio to maximize
its cash flow, while evaluating longer-term opportunities for redeployment
of
its capital. The Company has an estimated $149 million in net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards which can be used to offset future taxable income
through approximately 2019, and the Company is retaining its investable capital
currently in order to maximize its chances of utilizing the NOL carryforwards
for the benefit of its shareholders. Because of the desire to retain its capital
currently, other than dividends on its preferred stock, the Company will not
make distributions on its equity capital unless they are necessary for the
Company to maintain its REIT status. If the lack of compelling investment
opportunities continues for an extended period of time, the Company will
consider the repurchase of at least a portion of its outstanding Series D
Preferred Stock.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations are based in large part upon its consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Critical
accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant
judgments or uncertainties, and which may result in materially different results
under different assumptions and conditions, or the application of which may
have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The following are
the
Company's critical accounting policies.
Consolidation
of Subsidiaries.
The
consolidated financial statements represent the Company's accounts after the
elimination of inter-company transactions. The Company consolidates entities
in
which it owns more than 50% of the voting equity and control of the entity
does
not rest with others. The Company follows the equity method of accounting for
investments with greater than 20% and less than a 50% interest in partnerships
and corporate joint ventures or when it is able to influence the financial
and
operating policies of the investee but owns less than 20% of the voting equity.
For all other investments, the cost method is applied.
Impairments.
The
Company evaluates all securities in its investment portfolio for
other-than-temporary impairments. A security is generally defined to be
other-than-temporarily impaired if, for a maximum period of three consecutive
quarters, the carrying value of such security exceeds its estimated fair value
and the Company estimates, based on projected future cash flows or other fair
value determinants, that the fair value will remain below the carrying value
for
the foreseeable future. If an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to
exist, the Company records an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value
of
the security down to its estimated fair value. In certain instances, as a result
of the other-than-temporary impairment analysis, the recognition or accrual
of
interest will be discontinued and the security will be placed on non-accrual
status.
Allowance
for Loan Losses.
The
Company has credit risk on loans pledged in securitization financing
transactions and classified as securitized finance receivables in its investment
portfolio. An allowance for loan losses has been estimated and established
for
currently existing probable losses on those assets. Factors considered in
establishing an allowance include current loan delinquencies, historical cure
rates of delinquent loans, and historical and anticipated loss severity of
the
loans as they are liquidated. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated and
adjusted periodically by management based on the actual and estimated timing
and
amount of probable credit losses, using the above factors, as well as industry
loss experience. Where loans are considered homogeneous, the allowance for
loan
losses is established and evaluated on a pool basis. Otherwise, the allowance
for loan losses is established and evaluated on a loan-specific basis.
Provisions made to increase the allowance are a current period expense to
operations.
Generally,
single-family loans are considered impaired when they are sixty-days past due.
Commercial mortgage loans are evaluated on an individual basis for impairment.
Generally, a commercial loan with a debt service coverage ratio of less than
one
is considered impaired. However, based on information specific to a commercial
loan, commercial loans with a debt service coverage ratio less than one may
not
be considered impaired; conversely, commercial loans with a debt service
coverage ratio greater than one may be considered impaired. This information
may
include whether the loan is delinquent, the current and expected performance
of
the underlying collateral, and information and analyses provided by the loan
servicer. Certain of the commercial mortgage loans are covered by loan
guarantees that limit the Company's exposure on these loans. The level of
allowance for loan losses required for these loans is reduced by the amount
of
applicable loan guarantees. The Company's actual credit losses may differ from
the estimates used to establish the allowance.

Securitized
finance receivables.
Loans,
net decreased to $0.8 billion at June 30, 2005 compared to $1.0 billion at
December 31, 2004. This decrease of $235.2 million is primarily the result
of
the derecognition of $177.7 million of manufactured housing loans associated
with the sale of the Company's interests in the related securitization trust,
$55.3 million in principal paydowns on the securitized finance receivables,
$3.2
million of additions to the allowance for loan losses, and decreases in accrued
interest receivable of $0.5 million and net premium amortization of $0.5
million.
Debt
securities decreased to $2.4 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $206.4 million
at December 31, 2004. This decrease of $204.1 million is primarily the result
of
the derecognition of $189.5 million of a security supported by manufactured
housing loans associated with the sale of the Company's interests in the related
securitization trust, $11.5 million in principal paydowns on the securitized
finance receivables, and $1.0 million related to realized market valuation
adjustments resulting from the sale of the security.
Securities.
Securities increased by $1.9 million, to $89.6 million at June 30, 2005 from
$87.7 million at December 31, 2004 due primarily to the purchase of $34.6
million of commercial paper and treasury bills with original maturities ranging
from 91-180 days, which was partially offset by principal payments of $25.3
million, the sale of $6.7 million of common stock of another mortgage REIT
and
$0.7 million of market value adjustments.
Other
investments.
Other
investments at June 30, 2005 consist of delinquent property tax receivables
and
a delinquent property tax security. Other investments decreased from $7.6
million at December 31, 2004, to $5.2 million at June 30, 2005. This decrease
is
primarily the result of market value adjustments of $1.6 million, pay-downs
of
delinquent property tax receivables, which totaled $1.2 million, and sales
of
real estate owned properties of $0.4 million. These decreases were partially
offset by additional advances for collections of $0.3 million and interest
accretion of $0.6 million.
Other
loans.
Other
loans decreased by $2.1 million from $5.6 million at December 31, 2004, to
$3.4
million at June 30, 2005, principally as the result of the sale of $1.7
million of mezzanine loans and principal payments of $0.6 million during the
six
month period.
Securitization
financing. Non-recourse
securitization financing decreased $618.2 million, from $1.2 billion at December
31, 2004 to $0.6 billion at June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily a result
of derecognition of $363.9 million of securitization financing resulting from
the sale of the Company's interests in two securitizations, the redemption
by
the Company of the $195.7 million of outstanding bonds, which were replaced
by
$170.7 million of repurchase agreement financing, principal payments received
of
$59.7 million on the associated securitized finance receivables pledged which
were used to pay down the non-recourse securitization financing in accordance
with the respective indentures and $0.2 million of losses on loans passed
through to the bondholders. Additionally, for certain securitizations, surplus
cash in the amount of $2.1 million was retained within the security structure
and used to cover losses, as certain performance triggers were not met in such
securitizations. These decreases were partially offset by $1.4 million of
amortization of net bond discount during the six months ended June 30,
2005.
The
repurchase agreement securitization financing increased from zero at December
31, 2004 to $165.7 million at June 30, 2005. This increase resulted from the
partial financing of the redemption of $195.7 million of non-recourse
securitization financing bonds with $170.7 million of repurchase agreements.
This increase was partially offset by payments on these repurchase agreements
of
$4.9 million.
Repurchase
Agreements. Repurchase
agreements decreased from $70.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $47.2 million
at
June 30, 2005. This decrease related to payments on the repurchase agreements
of
$23.3 million.
Shareholders'
equity.
Shareholders' equity increased to $152.9 million at June 30, 2005, from $148.8
million at December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily the result of net
income of $10.5 million and a net decrease of $3.8 million of accumulated other
comprehensive income during the period. The decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive income is comprised of the realization of previously unrealized
gain on investments available-for-sale of $4.3 million resulting from the sale
of the security during the period. Unrealized losses of $0.6 million on hedging
instruments were recognized in income during the period.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
2004.
Net
income and net income per common share increased during the three months ended
June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in net income
is primarily the result of a $8.3 million decrease in provision for loan losses
and a $6.0 million decrease of impairment charges, coupled with a $9.5 million
increase in gain on sale of investments as discussed above. These increases
were
offset by a decrease in net interest income of $2.8 million, as discussed
below.
Net
interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $2.7
million from $5.5 million for the same period in 2004 primarily due to the
reduction in interest earning assets from sales of securitized finance
receivables, and the decline in the net interest spread on interest earning
assets. The decline in net interest spread is discussed further in connection
with the Average
Balances and Effective Interest Rates
table
below.
Impairment
charges decreased by $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005
from
the same period last year due primarily to the sale of a security in 2005
supported by manufactured housing and single-family loans which experienced
a
$7.6 million impairment charge in the three months ended June 30, 2004. The
impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2005 primarily relate
to
a $1.6 million impairment charge on the Company's investment in delinquent
property tax receivables during the period.
Gain
on
sale of investments increased by $9.5 million during the three months ended
June
30, 2005 compared to the same period last year. A gain of $8.2 million on the
sale of securitized finance receivables and a gain of $1.4 million on the sale
of four healthcare mezzanine loans were realized during the period.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million to $1.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due
principally to lower general and administrative expenses on the Company's
delinquent property tax receivable servicing operation.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2004.
Net
income and net income per common share increased during the six months ended
June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in net income
is primarily the result of a decrease of provision for loan losses of $13.2
million, a decrease in impairment charges of $7.4 million, an increase in
gain on sale of investments of $9.8 million, and a decrease in net interest
income of $4.8 million. Net income to common shareholders increased from a
$17.5
million loss, or $1.59 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to
$7.9
million of income, or $0.65 per share basic earnings and $0.59 per share fully
diluted earnings, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net loss to common
shareholders in 2005 includes $2.7 million of dividends paid on preferred stock
during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Net
interest income decreased by $4.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due a decline in interest
earning assets from the sale of securitized finance receivables, and a decline
in the overall net interest spread on interest earning assets compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2004. The decline in net interest spread is discussed
further in connection with the Average
Balances and Effective Interest Rates
table
below. Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 increased to income of $4.3 million from a loss of $4.2
million for the same period in 2004. This increase was primarily the result
of a
$13.2 million decrease in provision for loan losses as a result of the sale
of
the Company's investment in its manufactured housing loan finance receivables.
Impairment
charges decreased by $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from
the same period last year. This decrease was primarily a result of losses
experienced in 2004 on debt securities pledged as securitized finance
receivables and comprised largely of manufactured housing loans. This security
was sold during the second quarter of 2005 as part of the transaction discussed
earlier in Management's Discussion and Analysis. The impairment charges for
the
six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily relate to a $1.7 million impairment
charge on the Company's investment in delinquent property tax receivables during
the period.
Gain
on
sales of investments increased by $9.8 million due to the sale of securitized
finance receivables at a gain of $8.2 million, and a gain of $1.4 million on
the
sale of four healthcare mezzanine loans was realized during the period.
General
and administrative expense decreased by $1.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The decline in general and
administrative expenses during the period is due to the reduction in expenses
at
the Company's tax lien servicing operation and a decline in litigation related
expenses.
The
following table summarizes the average balances of interest-earning assets
and
their average effective yields, along with the average interest-bearing
liabilities and the related average effective interest rates, for each of the

The
net
interest spread decreased 78 basis points to 14 basis points for the three
months ended June 30, 2005, from 92 basis points for the same period in 2004
(each basis point is 0.01%). The net interest spread for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 decreased relative to the same period in 2004, to 48 basis points
from 101 basis points. The decrease in the net interest spread for the three
months ended June 30, 2005 versus the same period in 2004 is due to declining
yields on interest-earning assets, due principally from decreased income as
a
result of the sale of approximately $367.2 million of securitized finance
receivables during the three months ended June 30, 2005, and the sale of
approximately $219.2 million in receivables during the fourth quarter of 2004.
The proceeds from the sale of these investments have generally been invested
in
cash and short-term securities. Additionally, net interest spread decreased
due
to effective interest rate adjustments recognized on a commercial loan
securitization in the three months ended June 30, 2004.
The
decrease in the Company's net interest spread for the six month period ended
June 30, 2005 compared to the prior year period can also be attributed to
decreased income as a result of the sale of securitized finance receivables
during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Interest
Income and Interest-Earning Assets.
At June
30, 2005, $699.1 million of the investment portfolio consisted of loans and
securities which pay a fixed-rate of interest, and approximately $171.8 million
of the investment portfolio was comprised of loans and securities that have
coupon rates which adjust over time (subject to certain periodic and lifetime
limitations) in conjunction with changes in short-term interest rates. The
Company finances its investment portfolio principally with non-recourse
securitization financing, but during the second quarter of 2005 added $165.7
million of repurchase agreement financing to fund the redemption of the
outstanding bonds of one securitization. At June 30, 2005, approximately $552.8
million of fixed-rate bonds and no adjustable rate bonds were outstanding,
having been replaced by repurchase agreement financing as discussed above.
The
following table presents a breakdown, by principal balance, of the Company's

Credit
Exposures.
The
Company invests in non-recourse securitization financing or pass-through
securitization structures. Generally these securitization structures use
over-collateralization, subordination, third-party guarantees, reserve funds,
bond insurance, mortgage pool insurance or any combination of the foregoing
as a
form of credit enhancement. The Company generally has retained a limited portion
of the direct credit risk in these securities. In most instances the Company
retained the "first-loss" credit risk on pools of loans that it
securitized.
The
following table summarizes the aggregate principal amount of securitized finance
receivables and securities outstanding; the direct credit exposure retained
by
the Company (represented by the amount of over-collateralization pledged and
subordinated securities owned by the Company), net of the credit reserves and
discounts maintained by the Company for such exposure; and the actual credit
losses incurred for each year.
The
table
excludes other forms of credit enhancement from which the Company benefits,
and
based upon the performance of the underlying loans, may provide additional
protection against losses. These additional protections include loss
reimbursement guarantees with a remaining balance of $25.5 million and a
remaining deductible aggregating $0.4 million on $27.2 million of securitized
single-family mortgage loans which are subject to such reimbursement agreements;
guarantees aggregating $19.6 million on $198.8 million of securitized commercial
mortgage loans, whereby losses on such loans would need to exceed the respective
guarantee amount before the Company would incur credit losses; and $54.9 million
of securitized single-family mortgage loans which are subject to various
mortgage pool insurance policies whereby losses would need to exceed the
remaining stop loss of at least 69% on such policies before the Company would
incur losses.

The
following table summarizes commercial mortgage loan delinquencies as a
percentage of the outstanding commercial securitized finance receivables balance
for those securities in which the Company has retained a portion of the direct
credit risk. The delinquencies as a percentage of the outstanding securitized
finance receivables balance have decreased to 7.33% at June 30, 2005 from 15.19%
at June 30, 2004 primarily due to seventeen commercial loans which became
delinquent in 2004. Of these seventeen loans, fourteen were low income housing
tax credit ("LIHTC") loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $70
million which were repaid in full in July and August 2004. The increase in
delinquencies from 6.06% at March 31, 2005 to 7.33% at June 30, 2005 resulted
from four loans becoming delinquent during the second quarter of 2005, one
of
which paid off subsequent to June 30, 2005. The Company monitors and evaluates
its exposure to credit losses and has established reserves based upon
anticipated losses, general economic conditions and trends in the investment
portfolio. At June 30, 2005, management believes the level of credit reserves
is
appropriate for currently existing losses.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No.
123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R). This statement supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25 and its related implementation guidance. The statement
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity
exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. This statement focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee
services in share-based payment transactions. The most significant change
resulting from this statement is the requirement for public companies to expense
employee share-based payments under fair value as originally introduced in
SFAS
No. 123. This statement is effective for public companies as of the beginning
of
the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005, or December
15, 2005 for small business issuers. The Company will adopt this statement
effective January 1, 2006. The Company presented the amount that would have
been
recorded in general and administrative expense for the quarter and six month
period ended June 30, 2005 if the Company had adopted the provisions of FAS
123R
in Note 11 above.
In
June
2004, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract 03-1, "The Meaning
of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments"
("EITF 03-1"). EITF 03-1 provides authoritative guidance regarding determining
when an investment is considered impaired and the impairment is
other-than-temporary. EITF 03-1 requires that the Company evaluate whether
an
impairment is other-than-temporary, and, if the impairment is
other-than-temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the excess of the
amortized cost over the estimated fair value of the investment. In September
2004 the FASB delayed the effective date of paragraphs 10-20 of this issue.
These paragraphs give guidance on how to evaluate and recognize an impairment
loss that is other-than-temporary. The delay does not suspend the requirement
to
recognize other than temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative
literature. On July 5, 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional guidance
on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and stated that the proposed
FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF Issue No. 03-1-a, "Implementation Guidance
for
the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1," will be issued as
final. The final FSP will supersede EITF 03-1. The Company does not expect
the
adoption of the FSP, as contained in its current draft form, to have a material
effect on our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of
operations, or liquidity.
NON-GAAP
INFORMATION ON SECURITIZED FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND NON-RECOURSE SECURITIZATION
FINANCING
The
Company finances its securitized finance receivables principally through the
issuance of non-recourse securitization financing. The Company presents in
its
condensed consolidated financial statements the securitized finance receivables
as assets, and the associated securitization financing as a liability. Because
the securitization financing is recourse only to the finance receivables
pledged, and is therefore not a general obligation of the Company, the risk
to
the Company on its investment in securitized finance receivables is limited
to
its net investment (i.e.,
the
excess of the finance receivables pledged over the non-recourse securitization
financing). This excess is often referred to as overcollateralization. The
purpose of the information presented in this section is to present the
securitized finance receivables on a net investment basis, and to provide
estimated fair value information using various assumptions on such net
investment. The Company monitors and evaluates the performance of these
securitization transactions based on the Company's net investment in such
transactions, and believes the tables below will assist the investor in
understanding the Company's actual investment in these transactions, the credit
risk which the Company has retained on its investments, the performance of
these
investments, and the estimated fair value of these investments based on the
assumptions set forth below.
In
the
tables below, the "principal balance of net investment" in securitized finance
receivables represents the excess of the principal balance of the collateral
pledged over the outstanding balance of the associated non-recourse
securitization financing owned by third parties. The "amortized cost basis
of
net investment" is principal balance of net investment plus or minus premiums
and discounts and related costs. The Company generally has sold the investment
grade classes of the securitization financing to third parties, and has retained
the portion of the securitization financing that is below investment grade.
The
Company estimates the fair value of its net investment in collateralized bond
securities as the present value of the projected cash flow from the collateral,
adjusted for the impact of and assumed level of future prepayments and credit
losses, less the projected principal and interest due on the bonds owned by
third parties. The Company master services the collateral for three of its
collateralized bond securities. Structured Asset Securitization Corporation
(SASCO) Series 2002-9 is master-serviced by Wells Fargo Bank. CCA One Series
2
and Series 3 are master-serviced by Bank of New York. Monthly payment reports
for those securities master-serviced by the Company may be found on the
Company's website at www.dynexcapital.com.
Below
is
a summary at June 30, 2005, by each series of the Company's net investment
in
securitized finance receivables where the fair value exceeds $0.5 million.
The
following tables show the Company's net investment in each of the securities
presented below on both a principal balance and amortized cost basis, as those
terms are defined above. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company present the securitized finance receivables as an
asset, and present the associated securitization financing bond obligation
as a
liability. In addition, as the securitizations currently included in the
Company's investment portfolio contain loans and are not themselves securities,
the Company carries those investments at amortized cost. As a result, the table
below is not meant to present the Company's investment in securitized finance
receivables or the securitization financing in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company's transactions. See
below for a reconciliation of the amounts included in the table to the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements.

The
above
tables illustrate the Company's estimated fair value of its net investment
in
certain collateralized bond securities. In its consolidated financial
statements, the Company carries its investments at amortized cost. Including
the
recorded allowance for loan losses of $16.5 million, the Company's net
investment in collateralized bond securities at June 30, 2005 was approximately
$78.4 million. This amount compares to an estimated fair value, utilizing a
discount rate of 16%, of approximately $68.4 million, as set forth in the table
above. The difference between the $78.4 million in net investment as included
in
the consolidated financial statements and the $68.4 million of estimated fair
value is due to the difference between the estimated fair value of such net
investment and amortized cost.
The
following table compares the fair value of these investments at various discount
rates, but otherwise using the same assumptions as set forth for the two
immediately preceding tables:

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company has historically financed its operations from a variety of sources.
The
Company's primary source today of funding its operations is principally the
cash
flow generated from the investment portfolio, which includes net interest income
and principal payments and prepayments on these investments. From the cash
flow
on its investment portfolio, the Company funds its operating overhead costs,
including the servicing of its delinquent property tax receivables, repays
any
remaining recourse debt, and makes additional investments. Coupled with its
existing available cash resources, the Company believes that this source is
sufficient to fund its short and long-term operational needs. In addition,
while
the Company was actively originating loans or accumulating assets for its
investment portfolio, the Company funded these operations through short-term
warehouse lines of credit with commercial and investment banks, repurchase
agreements and the capital markets via the asset-backed securities market (which
provides long-term non-recourse funding of the investment portfolio via the
issuance of non-recourse securitization financing). Should the Company's future
operations require access to sources of capital such as lines of credit and
repurchase agreements, the Company believes that it would be able to access
such
sources.
The
Company's cash flow from its investment portfolio is subject to fluctuation
due
to changes in interest rates, repayment rates and default rates and related
losses. The Company currently has a substantial portion of its available capital
invested in cash or highly, liquid, short-term instruments. At June 30, 2005,
this amount was $63 million, or more than half the Company's overall equity
capital base. The Company intends to maintain excessive levels of liquidity
for
at least the next six months given the lack of compelling reinvestment
opportunities as a result of the absolute low level of interest rates, the
flat
yield curve, and the historically tight spreads on fixed income instruments.
Securitization
financing.
Dynex,
through limited-purpose finance subsidiaries, has issued non-recourse debt
in
the form of non-recourse securitization financing to fund the majority of its
investment portfolio. The obligations under the securitization financing are
payable solely from the securitized finance receivables and are otherwise
non-recourse to the Company. The maturity of each class of securitization
financing is directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the
related collateral and is not subject to margin call risk. Each series is also
subject to redemption according to specific terms of the respective indentures,
generally on the earlier of a specified date or when the remaining balance
of
the bonds equals 35% or less of the original principal balance of the bonds.
At
June 30, 2005, Dynex had $559.1 million of non-recourse securitization financing
outstanding. Approximately $553 million of the non-recourse securitization
financing carries a fixed rate of interest, and approximately $166 million
carries a rate of interest, which adjusts monthly based on One-Month
LIBOR.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain
written statements in this Form 10-Q made by the Company that are not historical
fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Item as
well
as those discussed elsewhere in this Report addressing the results of
operations, our operating performance, events, or developments that we expect
or
anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to investment
strategies, net interest income growth, earnings or earnings per share growth,
and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about
future operating results, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements are based upon management's views and assumptions as of the date
of
this Report, regarding future events and operating performance and are
applicable only as of the dates of such statements. Such forward-looking
statements may involve factors that could cause the actual results of the
Company to differ materially from historical results or from any results
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions
the public not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which
may
be based on assumptions and anticipated events that do not
materialize.
Factors
that may cause actual results to differ from historical results or from any
results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the
following:
Reinvestment
Risk. The Company currently has no specific long-term reinvestment
strategy. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities for the
reinvestment of its capital, some of which are not typical investments for
a
REIT. The Company has an appreciable amount of its capital invested in
cash equivalents and short-term high quality investments. Given the
current low interest rate environment and the relatively flat yield curve,
as
measured by the difference between the yields on the two-year U.S. Treasury
Note
and the ten-year U.S. Treasury Bond, opportunities to reinvest capital at
acceptable rates of return may not be available for an extended period of
time.
Investment
Portfolio Cash Flow.
Cash
flows from the investment portfolio fund the Company's operations and repayments
of outstanding debt, and are subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest
rates, repayment rates and default rates and related losses. Cash flows from
the
investment portfolio are likely to sequentially decline until the Company
meaningfully begins to reinvest its capital. There can be no assurances that
the
Company will be able to find suitable investment alternatives for its capital,
nor can there be assurances that the Company will meet its reinvestment and
return hurdles.
Defaults.
Defaults
by borrowers on loans securitized by the Company may have an adverse impact
on
the Company's financial performance, if actual credit losses differ materially
from estimates made by the Company or exceed reserves for losses recorded in
the
financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is calculated on the basis
of historical experience and management's best estimates. Actual default rates
or loss severity may differ from the Company's estimate as a result of economic
conditions. Actual defaults on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase
during a rising interest rate environment. In addition, commercial mortgage
loans are generally large dollar balance loans, and a significant loan default
may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results.
Economic
Conditions.
The
Company is affected by general economic conditions. An increase in the risk
of
defaults and credit risk resulting from an economic slowdown or recession
or
other factors could result in a decrease in the value of the Company's
investments and the over-collateralization associated with its securitization
transactions. These changes could have an effect on the Company's financial
performance and the performance on the Company's securitized loan pools.
As a
result of the Company being heavily invested in short-term high quality
investments, a worsening economy may potentially benefit the Company by creating
opportunities for the Company to invest in assets that become distressed
as a
result of the worsening conditions or, if in response to these conditions,
the
Federal Reserve begins to lower the Federal Funds Rate and the yield curve
steepens.
Third-party
Servicers.
Third-party servicers service the majority of the Company's investment
portfolio. To the extent that these servicers are financially impaired, the
performance of the Company's investment portfolio may deteriorate, and defaults
and credit losses may be greater than estimated. In addition, third-party
servicers are generally obligated to advance scheduled principal and interest
on
a loan if such loan is securitized, and to the extent the third-party servicer
fails to make this advance, the Company may be required to make the advance.
The
actual credit losses experienced by the Company are in large part influenced
by
the quality of servicing by these third-party servicers.
Prepayments.
Prepayments by borrowers on loans securitized by the Company may have an adverse
impact on the Company's financial performance. Prepayments are expected to
increase during a declining interest rate or flat yield curve environment.
The
Company's exposure to rapid prepayments is primarily (i) the faster amortization
of premium on the investments and, to the extent applicable, amortization of
bond discount, and (ii) the replacement of investments in its portfolio with
lower yielding investments.
Interest
Rate Fluctuations.
The
Company's income and cash flow depends on its ability to earn greater interest
on its investments than the interest cost to finance these investments. Interest
rates in the markets served by the Company generally rise or fall with interest
rates as a whole. A majority of the Company's investments, including loans
and
securities currently pledged as securitized finance receivables and securities,
are fixed-rate. The Company currently finances these fixed-rate assets through
non-recourse securitization financing and repurchase agreements, approximately
$62 million of which is variable rate and resets monthly. Financing fixed-rate
assets with variable-rate bonds exposes the Company to reductions in income
and
cash flow in a period of rising interest rates. In addition, a portion of the
investments held by the Company are adjustable-rate securitized finance
receivables. These investments are financed through non-recourse long-term
securitization financing and recourse repurchase agreements, which reset
monthly. The net interest spread for these investments could decrease during
a
period of rapidly rising short-term interest rates, since the investments
generally have interest rates which reset on a delayed basis and have periodic
interest rate caps; the related borrowing has no delayed resets or such interest
rate caps.
Competition.
The
financial services industry is a highly competitive market in which we compete
with a number of institutions with greater financial resources. In purchasing
portfolio investments and in issuing securities, we compete with other mortgage
REITs, investment banking firms, savings and loan associations, commercial
banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, federal agencies and other
entities, many of which have greater financial resources and a lower cost of
capital than we do. Increased competition in the market and our competitors
greater financial resources have adversely affected the Company, and may
continue to do so. Competition may also continue to keep pressure on spreads
resulting in the Company being unable to reinvest its capital at a satisfactory
risk-adjusted basis.
Regulatory
Changes.
The
Company's businesses as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were not
subject to any material federal or state regulation or licensing requirements.
However, changes in existing laws and regulations or in the interpretation
thereof, or the introduction of new laws and regulations, could adversely affect
the Company and the performance of the Company's securitized loan pools or
its
ability to collect on its delinquent property tax receivables. The Company
is a
REIT and is required to meet certain tests in order to maintain its REIT status
as described in the discussion of "Federal Income Tax Considerations" in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the Company
should fail to maintain its REIT status, it would not be able to hold certain
investments and would be subject to income taxes.
Item
3.
Quantitative
and Qualitative
Disclosures about
Market Risk
Market
risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential
change in the value of a financial instrument due to fluctuations in interest
and foreign exchange rates and in equity and commodity prices. Market risk
is
inherent to both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.
Accordingly, the scope of the Company's market risk management extends beyond
derivatives to include all market risk sensitive financial instruments. As
a
financial services company, net interest margin comprises the primary component
of the Company's earnings. Additionally, cash flow from the investment portfolio
represents the primary component of the Company's incoming cash flow. The
Company is subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations to the
extent that there is a gap between the amount of the Company's interest-earning
assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, mature
or re-price within specified periods. While certain investments may perform
poorly in an increasing or decreasing interest rate environment, other
investments may perform well, and others may not be impacted at
all.
The
Company focuses on the sensitivity of its cash flow, and measures such
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates are defined
as instantaneous, parallel, and sustained interest rate movements in 100 basis
point increments. The Company estimates its net interest margin cash flow for
the next twenty-four months assuming interest rates follow the forward LIBOR
curve (based on ninety-day Eurodollar futures contracts) at June 30, 2005.
Once
the base case has been estimated, cash flows are projected for each of the
defined interest rate scenarios. Those scenario results are then compared
against the base case to determine the estimated change to cash
flow.
The
following table summarizes the Company's net interest margin cash flow
sensitivity analysis at June 30, 2005. This analysis represents management's
estimate of the percentage change in net interest margin cash flow given a
shift
in interest rates, as discussed above. Other investments are excluded from
this
analysis because they are not interest rate sensitive. The "Base" case
represents the interest rate environment as it existed at June 30, 2005. At
June
30, 2005, one-month LIBOR was 3.34% and six-month LIBOR was 3.71%. The analysis
is heavily dependent upon the assumptions used in the model. The effect of
changes in future interest rates, the shape of the yield curve or the mix of
assets and liabilities may cause actual results to differ significantly from
the
modeled results. In addition, certain financial instruments provide a degree
of
"optionality." The most significant option affecting the Company's portfolio
is
the borrowers' option to prepay the loans. The model applies prepayment rate
assumptions representing management's estimate of prepayment activity on a
projected basis for each collateral pool in the investment portfolio. The model
applies the same prepayment rate assumptions for all five cases indicated below.
The extent to which borrowers utilize the ability to exercise their option
may
cause actual results to significantly differ from the analysis. Furthermore,
the
projected results assume no additions or subtractions to the Company's
portfolio, and no change to the Company's liability structure. Historically,
there have been significant changes in the Company's assets and liabilities,
and
there are likely to be such changes in the future.

The
Company's interest rate rise is related both to the rate of change in short-term
interest rates and to the level of short-term interest rates. Approximately
$172
million of the Company's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2005 is comprised
of loans or securities that have coupon rates which adjust over time (subject
to
certain periodic and lifetime limitations) in conjunction with changes in
short-term interest rates. Approximately 66% and 13% of the adjustable rate
loans underlying the Company's adjustable rate securities and securitized
finance receivables are indexed to and reset based upon the level of six-month
LIBOR and one-year CMT, respectively.
Generally,
during a period of rising short-term interest rates, the Company's net interest
spread earned on its investment portfolio will decrease. The decrease of the
net
interest spread results from (i) the lag in resets of the adjustable rate loans
underlying the adjustable rate securities and securitized finance receivables
relative to the rate resets on the associated borrowings and (ii) rate resets
on
the adjustable rate loans which are generally limited to 1% every six months
or
2% every twelve months and subject to lifetime caps, while the associated
borrowings have no such limitation. As to item (i), the Company has
substantially limited its interest rate risk on such investments through
(a) the issuance of fixed-rate non-recourse securitization financing which
approximated $552.8 million as of June 30, 2005, and (b) equity, which was
$152.9 million at June 30, 2005. As to item (ii), as short-term interest rates
stabilize and the ARM loans reset, the net interest margin may be partially
restored as the yields on the ARM loans adjust to market conditions. The
remaining portion of the Company's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2005,
approximately $700 million, is comprised of loans or securities that have coupon
rates that are fixed.

Controls
and Procedures
|
(a)
|
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and
procedures.
|
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed
to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed
or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
the
Company's reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to management, including the Company's management, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. This
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of
the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's
management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were
effective.
In
conducting its review of disclosure controls, management concluded that
sufficient disclosure controls and procedures did exist to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
(b)
|
Changes
in internal controls.
|
The
Company's management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in
the
Company's internal controls or in other factors during the quarter covered
by
this report that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor
any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such internal controls
requiring corrective actions.

Legal
Proceedings

GLS
Capital, Inc. ("GLS"), a subsidiary of the Company, and the County of Allegheny,
Pennsylvania ("Allegheny County"), were defendants in a lawsuit in the
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the "Commonwealth Court"), the appellate
court of the state of Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs were two local businesses seeking
status to represent as a class delinquent taxpayers in Allegheny County whose
delinquent tax liens had been assigned to GLS. Plaintiffs challenged the right
of Allegheny County and GLS to collect certain interest, costs and expenses
related to delinquent property tax receivables in Allegheny County, and whether
the County had the right to assign the delinquent property tax receivables
to
GLS and therefore employ procedures for collection enjoyed by Allegheny County
under state statute. This lawsuit was related to the purchase by GLS of
delinquent property tax receivables from Allegheny County in 1997, 1998, and
1999. In July 2001, the Commonwealth Court issued a ruling that addressed,
among
other things, (i) the right of GLS to charge to the delinquent taxpayer a rate
of interest of 12% per annum versus 10% per annum on the collection of its
delinquent property tax receivables, (ii) the charging of a full month's
interest on a partial month's delinquency; (iii) the charging of attorney's
fees
to the delinquent taxpayer for the collection of such tax receivables, and
(iv)
the charging to the delinquent taxpayer of certain other fees and costs. The
Commonwealth Court in its opinion remanded for further consideration to the
lower trial court items (i), (ii) and (iv) above, and ruled that neither
Allegheny County nor GLS had the right to charge attorney's fees to the
delinquent taxpayer related to the collection of such tax receivables. The
Commonwealth Court further ruled that Allegheny County could assign its rights
in the delinquent property tax receivables to GLS, and that plaintiffs could
maintain equitable class in the action. In October 2001, GLS, along with
Allegheny County, filed an Application for Extraordinary Jurisdiction with
the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Western District appealing certain aspects of
the
Commonwealth Court's ruling. In March 2003, the Supreme Court issued its opinion
as follows: (i) the Supreme Court determined that GLS can charge delinquent
taxpayers a rate of 12% per annum; (ii) the Supreme Court remanded back to
the
lower trial court the charging of a full month's interest on a partial month's
delinquency; (iii) the Supreme Court revised the Commonwealth Court's
ruling regarding recouping attorney fees for collection of the receivables
indicating that the recoupment of fees requires a judicial review of collection
procedures used in each case; and (iv) the Supreme Court upheld the Commonwealth
Court's ruling that GLS can charge certain fees and costs, while remanding
back
to the lower trial court for consideration the facts of each individual case.
Finally, the Supreme Court, in March 2003, remanded to the lower trial court
to
determine if the remaining claims can be resolved as a class action. In August
2003, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted a law amending and clarifying certain
provisions of the Pennsylvania statute governing GLS' right to the collection
of
certain interest, costs and expenses. The law is retroactive to 1996, and amends
and clarifies that as to items (ii), (iii) and (iv) noted above by the Supreme
Court, that GLS can charge a full month's interest on a partial month's
delinquency, that GLS can charge the taxpayer for legal fees, and that GLS
can
charge certain fees and costs to the taxpayer at redemption. Subsequent to
the
enactment of the law, challenges to the retroactivity provisions of the law
were
filed in separate cases, which did not include GLS as a defendant. In September
2004, the Trial Court in that litigation upheld the retroactive provisions
enacted in 2003. Plaintiffs have appealed in that case. The lower trial court
had reset the hearing on the class-action status for June 2005, but the hearing
was delayed until no earlier than September 2005. We believe that the ultimate
outcome of this litigation will not have a material impact on our financial
condition, but may have a material impact on reported results for the particular
period presented.
The
Company and Dynex Commercial, Inc. ("DCI"), formerly an affiliate of the Company
and now known as DCI Commercial, Inc., were defendants in state court in Dallas
County, Texas in the matter of Basic Capital Management et al (collectively,
"BCM" or "the Plaintiffs") versus Dynex Commercial, Inc. et al. The suit was
filed in April 1999 originally against DCI, and in March 2000, BCM amended
the
complaint and added the Company as a defendant. The complaint, which was further
amended during pretrial proceedings, alleged that, among other things, DCI
and
the Company failed to fund tenant improvement or other advances allegedly
required on various loans made by DCI to BCM, which loans were subsequently
acquired by the Company; that DCI breached an alleged $160 million "master"
loan
commitment entered into in February 1998; and that DCI breached another alleged
loan commitment of approximately $9 million. The trial commenced in January
2004
and in February 2004, the jury in the case rendered a verdict in favor of one
of
the plaintiffs and against the Company on the alleged breach of the loan
agreements for tenant improvements and awarded that plaintiff damages in the
amount of $0.3 million. The jury also awarded the Plaintiffs' attorneys fees
in
the amount of $2.1 million. The jury entered a separate verdict against DCI
in
favor of BCM under two mutually exclusive damage models, for $2.2 million and
$25.6 million, respectively. The jury found in favor of DCI on the alleged
$9
million loan commitment, but did not find in favor of DCI for counterclaims
made
against BCM. After considering post-trial motions, the presiding judge entered
judgment in favor of the Company and DCI, effectively overturning the verdicts
of the jury and dismissing damages awarded by the jury. Plaintiffs have filed
an
appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Judicial District of Texas at
Dallas. DCI is a former affiliate of the Company, and the Company believes
that
it will have no obligation for amounts, if any, awarded to the plaintiffs as
a
result of the actions of DCI. Various briefs have been filed in the litigation,
and the Company expects the appeal will be heard by the end of
2005.
On
February 11, 2005, a putative class action complaint alleging violations of
the
federal securities laws and various state common law claims was filed against
the Company, our subsidiary MERIT Securities Corporation, Stephen J. Benedetti,
the Company's Executive Vice President, and Thomas H. Potts, the Company's
former President and a former Director, in United States District Court for
the
Southern District of New York ("District Court") by the Teamsters Local 445
Freight Division Pension Fund ("Teamsters"). The lawsuit purported to be a
class
action on behalf of purchasers of MERIT Series 13 securitization financing
bonds, which are collateralized by manufactured housing loans. On May 31, 2005,
the Teamsters filed an amended class action complaint. The amended complaint
dropped all state common law claims but added federal securities claims related
to the MERIT Series 12 securitization financing bonds. The Company filed a
motion to dismiss the amended complaint on July 15, 2005 to which Teamsters
filed a response with the District Court on August 15, 2005. The Company has
evaluated the allegations and believes them to be without merit and intends
to
vigorously defend itself against them.
Although
no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the above
litigation, the Company believes the resolution of these lawsuits will not
have
a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet but could materially affect
our consolidated results of operations in a given year.
