**Capital Crossing Preferred CorporationNotes to Financial StatementsThree and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002**

 

**Note 1.****          Basis of Presentation**

 

Capital CrossingPreferred Corporation (“Capital Crossing Preferred), is a Massachusettscorporation organized on March 20, 1998, to acquire and hold real estateassets.  Capital Crossing Bank (“CapitalCrossing”), a federally insured Massachusetts trust company, owns all ofCapital Crossing Preferred’s outstanding common stock.  Capital Crossing is in compliance with itsregulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2003.

 

On March 31, 1998, Capital Crossing Preferred was initiallycapitalized with the issuance to Capital Crossing of 100 shares of CapitalCrossing Preferred’s common stock, $.01 par value, and 1,000 shares of Series Bpreferred stock, $.01 par value, with Capital Crossing transferring to CapitalCrossing Preferred a portfolio of loans at its estimated fair value of$140,740,000.  Such loans were recordedin the accompanying balance sheet at Capital Crossing’s historical cost, whichapproximated their estimated fair values.

 

In 1999, Capital Crossing Preferred completed the sale of 1,416,130shares of Series A preferred stock.  In2001, Capital Crossing Preferred completed the sale 1,840,000 shares of SeriesC preferred stock.

 

The financial information as of September 30, 2003 and the results of operations for the three andnine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, changes in stockholders’equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and2002 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the financialinformation reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurringaccruals) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America.  Interim results are not necessarilyindicative of results to be expected for the entire year.  These interim statements are intended to beread in conjunction with the financial statements presented in Capital CrossingPreferred’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year endedDecember 31, 2002.

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America, management isrequired to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amountsof revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularlysusceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determinationof the allowance for losses on loans, the allocation of purchase discountbetween amortizing and non-amortizing portions, and the rate at which thediscount is accreted into interest income.

 

**Note 2.****          Commitments and Contingencies**

 

*Guarantees*

 

CapitalCrossing Preferred has guaranteed all of the obligations of Capital Crossingunder advances Capital Crossing may receive from time to time from the FederalHome Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”), and Capital Crossing Preferred has agreedto pledge a significant amount of its assets in connection with those advances.This guarantee would rank senior to the preferred shares upon liquidation.Capital Crossing Preferred’s obligations under this agreement are limited byapplicable laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance and fraudulent transfer.The assets pledged to the FHLBB will vary from time to time, however thepotential exists for Capital Crossing Preferred to pledge all of its assets tothe FHLBB to secure advances to Capital Crossing. In addition, Capital Crossinghas pledged to the FHLBB all of the shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’scapital stock it owns as collateral for its FHLBB borrowings.  Under the terms of the pledge, if CapitalCrossing becomes undercapitalized, the FHLBB may require Capital Crossing todissolve Capital Crossing Preferred such that the assets of Capital CrossingPreferred are distributed to Capital Crossing. In such circumstance, holders ofthe Series A and Series C preferred stock would receive their liquidationpreference only to the extent there are available assets of Capital CrossingPreferred following satisfaction of its outstanding obligations, including itsguarantee of Capital Crossing’s FHLBB borrowings.  At September 30, 2003, approximately $34.5 million, or15.8%, of Capital Crossing Preferred’s assets had been pledged to and acceptedby the FHLBB to secure advances to Capital Crossing.  Capital Crossing has also agreed that it will not request or acceptadvances from the FHLBB in excess of Capital Crossing Preferred’s totalstockholder’s equity, less the stockholder’s equity attributable to the SeriesA and Series C preferred shares. As of September 30, 2003, thisrestriction would limit Capital Crossing’s ability to receive advances in excessof approximately $185.4 million. As of September 30, 2003, CapitalCrossing had $129.0 million in outstanding FHLBB borrowings.

*Tax assessment*

 

The Massachusetts Department of Revenue(“DOR”) had issued tax assessments to Capital Crossing and numerous otherfinancial institutions in Massachusetts that reported a deduction for dividendsreceived from a REIT on their Massachusetts financial institution excise taxreturns.

 

On March 5, 2003, the Governor ofMassachusetts signed a bill that amends Massachusetts law to expressly disallowthe deduction for dividends from a REIT. This amendment applies retroactivelyto tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred had also received a Notice of Assessment foradditional taxes from the DOR. However, on June 23, 2003, Capital Crossingannounced that it had entered into a settlement with the DOR to payapproximately 50% of the disputed tax liability for the years 1998 through2002. As a result of this settlement, the DOR has agreed not to seek furtheractions to disallow Capital Crossing Preferred’s dividend paid deductions takenduring the disputed tax years.

Capital Crossing Preferred’s actual resultscould differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statementsas a result, among other factors, of the factors discussed in thesection entitled “Risk Factors and Factors Affecting Future OperatingResults” of this Form 10-Q.

 

All of these factors should be carefully reviewed, and the reader ofthis Form 10-Q should be aware that there may be other factors that couldcause these differences. These forward-looking statements were based on information,plans and estimates at the date of this report, and Capital Crossing Preferreddoes not promise to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes inunderlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or otherchanges.

 

#### **Critical Accounting Policies**

#### ** **

In December 2001, the SEC requested thatall registrants discuss their most “critical accounting policies” inmanagement’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results ofoperations. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one whichis both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition andresults and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complexjudgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect ofmatters that are inherently uncertain. While Capital Crossing Preferred’ssignificant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to theFinancial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, managementbelieves the following accounting policies to be most critical in theirpotential effect on Capital Crossing Preferred’s financial position or resultsof operations:

 

**Allowance for LoanLosses.** Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses requires ahigh degree of judgment. Capital Crossing Preferred maintains an allowance forprobable loan losses that are inherent in its loan portfolio. The initialallowance for loan losses was transferred from Capital Crossing at the time ofthe initial transfer of loans to Capital Crossing Preferred and additionaltransfers are made in connection with each transfer of loans from CapitalCrossing. Subsequent to the date of transfer, the allowance for loan losseswill be increased or decreased through a provision or credit for loan lossesincluded in earnings. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses may beincreased upon allocation of purchase discount upon acquisition of loans and bedecreased upon sales or payoffs of loans. Loan losses are charged against theallowance when management believes the loan balance, or a portion thereof, isuncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowancewhen cash payments are received.

 

Management makes significant judgments indetermining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management initiallyconsiders the loan loss allowances specifically allocated to individualimpaired loans. Next, management considers the level of general loan lossallowances deemed appropriate for the balance of the portfolio. Factorsconsidered include known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of theloan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability torepay, historical loss ranges, the estimated value of any underlying collateraland prevailing economic conditions. An additional allowance for loan losses ismaintained based on a judgmental process whereby management considersqualitative and quantitative assessments of other factors including regionalcredit concentration, industry concentration, results of regulatoryexaminations, historical loss ranges, portfolio composition, economicconditions such as interest rates and energy costs and other changes in theportfolio. The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of theprobable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. There can be noassurance regarding the future levels of Capital Crossing Preferred’s actuallosses with respect to loans.

 

**Discounts on AcquiredLoans.**  At thetime of acquisition of purchased pools of loans, the excess of the contractualbalances over the amount of reasonably estimable and probable discounted futurecash collections for each loan is recorded as non-amortizing discount. Theremaining discount, which represented the excess of the amount of reasonably estimableand probable discounted future cash collections over the acquisition amount isaccreted into interest income using the interest method over the term of theloans and is not accreted on non-performing loans. There is a high degree ofjudgment involved in estimating the amount of future cash flows. The

----

 

amount and timing of actualcash flows could differ materially from management’s estimates, which couldmaterially affect financial condition and results of operations.

 

The non-amortizing discount is not accretedinto income until it is determined that the amount and timing of the relatedcash flows are reasonably estimable and collection is probable. If cash flowscannot be reasonably estimated for any loan, and collection is not probable,the cost recovery method of accounting is used. Under the cost recovery method,any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan.Non-amortizing discount is generally offset against the related principalbalance when the amount at which a loan is resolved or restructured isdetermined.  There is no effect on theincome statement as a result of these reductions.

 

Subsequent to acquisition, if cash flowprojections improve, and it is determined that the amount and timing of thecash flows related to the non-amortizing discount are reasonably estimable andcollection is probable, the corresponding decrease in the non-amortizingdiscount is transferred to the amortizing portion and is accreted into interestincome over the remaining life of the loan on the interest method. If cash flowprojections deteriorate subsequent to acquisition, the decline is accounted forthrough the allowance for loan losses.

 

When a loan is paid-off, the excess of any cashreceived over the net investment is recorded as interest income. In addition tothe amount of purchase discount that is recognized at that time, income mayalso include interest owed by the borrower prior to Capital Crossing’sacquisition of the loan, interest collected if on non-performing status,prepayment fees and other loan fees.

 

Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of Capital CrossingPreferred’s loans (and other interest-earning assets) and its ability torealize gains on the resolution of assets. A significant portion of CapitalCrossing Preferred’s earnings results from accelerated interest incomeresulting from loan prepayments. This type of income can vary significantlyfrom quarter to quarter and year to year based on a number of differentfactors, including the interest rate environment. An increase in interest ratesthat adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal orinterest on Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans may lead to a reduction ofdiscount accreted into income, which could have a material adverse effect onits results of operations.

 

#### **Resultsof Operations**

#### ** **

***ThreeMonths Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002***

 

Net income available to common stockholderdecreased $169,000, or 2.2%, to $7.6 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2003 compared to $7.8 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2002.  This decreaseis primarily attributable to a decrease in total interest income and gain onsale of loans, the majority of which was offset by a credit for loan losses andan increase in gain on distribution of loans.  Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2003decreased $2.3 million, or 32.7%, to $4.6 million, compared to $6.9 million forthe three months ended September 30, 2002.

 

The following table sets forth the yields onCapital Crossing Preferred’s earning assets for the periods indicated:

(1) Non-performingloans are excluded from average balance calculations.

 

The yield on the loan portfolio increased as a result of an increase inincome, relative to the overall yield, recognized at the time of individualloan pay-offs, partially offset by a decline in regularly scheduled interestincome. The decline in the yield attributable to regularly scheduled interestincome is a result of: (1) a declining interest rate environment and (2) thepurchase or contribution in 2002 of loans from Capital Crossing that wereacquired from the Small Business Administration which generate lower regularlyscheduled interest and accretion. Average loans, net for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2003 totaled $185.2 million compared to $271.8 millionfor the same period in 2002. This decrease is primarily attributable topay-offs and amortization of loans in addition to a transfer of loans toCapital Crossing Bank of $6.4 million during nine months endedSeptember 30, 2003.

Income on loans includes the portion of thepurchase discount that is accreted into income over the remaining lives of therelated loans using the interest method. Because the carrying value of the loanportfolio is net of purchase discount, the related yield on this portfoliogenerally is higher than the aggregate contractual rate paid on the loans. Thetotal yield includes the excess of a loan’s expected discounted future cashflows over its net investment, recognized using the interest method.

 

When a loan is paid-off, the excess of any cash received over the netinvestment is recorded as interest income. In addition to the amount ofpurchase discount that is recognized at that time, income may also includeinterest owed by the borrower prior to Capital Crossing’s acquisition of theloan, interest collected if on non-performing status and other loan fees(“other interest and fee income”). The following table sets forth, for theyears indicated, the components of interest and fees on loans. There can be noassurance regarding future interest income, including the yields and relatedlevel of such income, or the relative portion attributable to loan pay-offs ascompared to other sources.

The amount of loan pay-offs and related discount income is influencedby several factors, including the interest rate environment, the real estatemarket in particular areas, the timing of transactions, and circumstancesrelated to individual borrowers and loans.

 

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $31.4million to $37.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003,compared to $69.0 million for the same period in 2002, as a result of $125.0million of cash distributions to the common stockholder and periodic dividendpayments of $2.5 million partially offset by cash flows from loan repayments.The yield on interest-bearing deposits decreased in 2003 because the rate paidby Capital Crossing on the money market account held by Capital CrossingPreferred decreased consistently with deposit interest rates generally comparedto 2002.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred recorded a credit for loan losses of $1.0million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. No provision orcredit was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2002. CapitalCrossing Preferred has experienced a high rate of loan pay-offs and thusrecorded a credit for loan losses to reduce allowance allocations related tothe loans that have paid off and loans which have performed above original expectations.The allowance for loan losses is based on the size of the portfolio and itshistorical performance. The determination of this allowance requires the use ofestimates and assumptions regarding the risks inherent in individual loans andthe loan portfolio in its entirety. Should the loan portfolio continue to decline without utilization of theallowance for loan losses, future credits for loans losses may be necessary.

 

A gain of $3.0 million was recognized on the distribution of loans tothe common stockholder during the third quarter of 2003.  These loans were distributed at theestimated fair value on the transfer date, which was higher than the book valueof the loans, resulting in the recognition of a gain in connection with thisdistribution.

 

The gain on sale of loans for the three months ended September 30,2002 of $1.9 million was the result of the sale of nine loans to unaffiliatedthird parties.

 

Loan servicing and advisory services for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2003 decreased $69,000, or 34.2%, to $133,000 compared to$202,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease isdue to the overall decrease in the average balance of the loan portfolio.

 

Other real estate owned income for the three months ended September 30,2003 is comprised of rental income of $19,000. There was no other real estateowned income during the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Other general and administrative expenses for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2003 increased $94,000, or 293.8%, to $126,000 compared to$32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase isdue primarily to an increase in legal and accounting fees in connection withloan-related matters.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred intends to pay dividends on its preferredstock and common stock in amounts necessary to continue to preserve its statusas REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

***NineMonths Ended September 30, 2003 and 2002***

 

Net income available to common stockholder increased $3.0 million, or16.8%, to $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003compared to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.This increase is primarily attributable to a credit for loan losses, increasedgains on distribution of loans and an increase in other real estate ownedincome partially offset by a decline in interest income and gain on sales ofloans. Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003decreased $1.2 million, or 6.5%, to $17.1 million, compared to $18.3 millionfor the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease is mainlyattributable to the $7.4 million decrease in average loan balances for the ninemonths ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2002.

 

The yields on Capital Crossing Preferred’searning assets are summarized as follows:

(1) Non-performing loans are excludedfrom average balance calculations.

 

The yield on the loan portfolio declined as a result of: (1) adecrease in yield attributable to regularly scheduled interest income as aresult of the declining interest rate environment and (2) the purchase orcontribution in 2002 of loans from Capital Crossing that were acquired from theSmall Business Administration which generate lower regularly scheduled interestand accretion.  These declines wereoffset somewhat by an increase in interest income recognized at the time ofindividual loan pay-offs.   The level ofinterest and fee income recognized on loan pay-offs varies for numerous reasonsas further described below.

 

Income on loans includes the portion of the purchase discount that isaccreted into income over the remaining lives of the related loans using theinterest method. Because the carrying value of the loan portfolio is net ofpurchase discount, the related yield on this portfolio generally is higher thanthe aggregate contractual rate paid on the loans. The total yield includes theexcess of a loan’s expected discounted future cash flows over its netinvestment, recognized using the interest method.

 

When a loan is paid-off, the excess of any cash received over the netinvestment is recorded as interest income. In addition to the amount ofpurchase discount that is recognized at that time, income may also includeinterest owed by the borrower prior to Capital Crossing’s acquisition of theloan, interest collected if on non-performing status and other loan fees(“other interest and fee income”). The following table sets forth, for theyears indicated, the components of interest and fees on loans. There can be noassurance regarding future interest income, including the yields and relatedlevel of such income, or the relative portion attributable to loan pay-offs ascompared to other sources.

The amount of loan pay-offs and related discount income is influencedby several factors, including the interest rate environment, the real estatemarket in particular areas, the timing of transactions, and circumstancesrelated to individual borrowers and loans.

 

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $22.0million to $92.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,compared to $70.7 million for the same period in 2002, as a result of cashflows from loan repayments; partially offset by $125.0 million of cashdistributions to the common stockholder and periodic dividend payments of $2.5million. The yield on interest-bearing deposits decreased in 2003 because therate paid by Capital Crossing on the money market account held by CapitalCrossing Preferred decreased consistently with deposit interest rates generallycompared to 2002.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred recorded a credit for loan losses of $3.4million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. No provision orcredit was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. CapitalCrossing Preferred has experienced a high rate of loan pay-offs and thusrecorded a credit for loan losses to reduce allowance allocations related tothe loans that have paid off and loans which have performed above originalexpectations. The allowance for loan losses is based on the size of theportfolio and its historical performance. The determination of this allowancerequires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding the risks inherent inindividual loans and the loan portfolio in its entirety.  Should the loan portfolio continue todecline without utilization of the allowance for loan losses, future creditsfor loans losses may be necessary.

 

A gain of $3.0 million was recognized on the distribution of loans tothe common stockholder during the third quarter of 2003.  These loans were distributed at theestimated fair value on the transfer date, which was higher than the book valueof the loans, resulting in the recognition of a gain in connection with thisdistribution.

 

The gain on sales of loans of $2.4 million is the result of the sale of ten loans to unaffiliatedthird parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

 

Loan servicing and advisory services expenses for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2003 decreased $6,000, or 1.3%, to $457,000 compared to$463,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease wasdue to the overall decrease in the average balance of the loan portfolio.

 

Other real estate owned income for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2003 is comprised of a gain of $334,000 on the sale of oneproperty to an unaffiliated third party and rental income of $27,000. There wasno other real estate owned income during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2002.

 

Other general and administrative expenses for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2003 increased $172,000, or 217.7%, to $251,000 compared to$79,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  This increase was due primarily to anincrease in legal and accounting fees in connection with loan-related matters.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred intends to pay dividends on its preferredstock and common stock in amounts necessary to continue to preserve its statusas a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

Included in net loans, at September 30, 2003 and December 31,2002, are approximately $6.8 million and $32.9 million (of which $0 and$180,000 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, arenon-performing), respectively, for which the net recorded investment representsthe amortized cost of these loans, where at acquisition, the amounts ofreasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections were lessthan the contractual balances owed. These loans were purchased at a price toyield a market rate of interest after considering the credit quality of theloans at acquisition and the aforementioned expected future cash collections.The excess of the contractual balances over the amount of reasonably estimableand probable discounted future cash collections represents the predominantportion of the $1.5 million and $8.2 million of non-amortizing discount atSeptember 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred intends that eachloan acquired from Capital Crossing in the future will be a whole loan, andwill be originated or acquired by Capital Crossing in the ordinary course ofits business. Capital Crossing Preferred also intends that all loans held by itwill be serviced pursuant to its master service agreement with CapitalCrossing.

 

From time to time, returns of capital may bemade to Capital Crossing. This would have the effect of reducing the asset sizeof Capital Crossing Preferred.  Suchreturns were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, asfurther described under “Stockholders’ Equity” below.

 

Non-performing loans, net of discount,totaled $18,000 and $1.8 million at September 30, 2003 andDecember 31, 2002, respectively.  The decline in non-performing loans relates primarily to a loan forwhich the collateral was foreclosed upon and sold during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2003.

 

Loans generally are placed on non-performing status and the accrual ofinterest and accretion of discount are generally discontinued when thecollectibility of principal and interest is not probable or estimable. Unpaidinterest income previously accrued on such loans is reversed against currentperiod interest income. A loan is returned to accrual status when it is broughtcurrent in accordance with management’s anticipated cash flows at the time ofacquisition.

***Non-AmortizingDiscount.*** At the time of acquisition of purchased pools of loans, the excess ofthe contractual balances over the amount of reasonably estimable and probablediscounted future cash collections for each loan is recorded as non-amortizingdiscount. The remaining discount, which represented the excess of the amount ofreasonably estimable and probable discounted future cash collections over theacquisition amount is accreted into interest income using the interest methodover the term of the loans and is not accreted on non-performing loans. Thereis a high degree of judgment involved in estimating the amount of future cashflows. The amount and timing of actual cash flows could differ materially frommanagement’s estimates, which could materially affect financial condition andresults of operations.

 

The non-amortizing discount is not accretedinto income until it is determined that the amount and timing of the relatedcash flows are reasonably estimable and collection is probable. If cash flowscannot be reasonably estimated for any loan, and collection is not probable,the cost recovery method of accounting is used. Under the cost recovery method,any amounts received are applied against the recorded amount of the loan.Non-amortizing discount is generally offset against the related principalbalance when the amount at which a loan is resolved or restructured isdetermined.  There is no effect on theincome statement as a result of these reductions.

 

Subsequent to acquisition, if cash flowprojections improve, and it is determined that the amount and timing of thecash flows related to the non-amortizing discount are reasonably estimable andcollection is probable, the corresponding decrease in the non-amortizingdiscount is transferred to the amortizing portion and is accreted into interestincome over the remaining life of the loan on the interest method. If cash flowprojections deteriorate subsequent to acquisition, the decline is accounted forthrough the allowance for loan losses.

 

The following table sets forth certain information relating to theactivity in the non-amortizing discount for the periods indicated:

***Allowancefor Loan Losses.***  Capital Crossing Preferred maintains an allowance for probableloan losses that are inherent in its loan portfolio. The initial allowance forloan losses was transferred from Capital Crossing at the time of the initialtransfer of loans to Capital Crossing Preferred and additional transfers aremade in connection with each transfer of loans from Capital Crossing.Subsequent to the date of transfer, the allowance for loan losses will beincreased or decreased through a provision or credit for loan losses includedin earnings. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses may be increased uponallocation of purchase discount upon acquisition of loans and be decreased uponsales or payoffs of loans. Loan losses are charged against the allowance whenmanagement believes the loan balance, or a portion thereof, is uncollectible.Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance when cash paymentsare received.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred performs periodicreviews of its loan portfolio to identify loans for which specific allocationsare considered prudent. Specific allocations include the results of measuringimpaired loans under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114.General risk allocations are determined by a formula whereby the loan portfoliois stratified by loan type and by internal risk rating categories. Loss factorsare then applied to each strata based on various considerations includinghistoric loss experience, delinquency trends, current economic conditions,industry standards and regulatory guidelines. An additional allowance ismaintained based on a judgment by management after consideration of qualitativeand quantitative assessments of certain factors including regional creditconcentration, industry concentration, results of regulatory examinations,historical loss ranges, portfolio composition, economic conditions such asinterest rates and energy costs and other changes in the portfolio. Theallowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of the probable loan lossesincurred as of the balance sheet date.

Additional factors influencing thecalculation of the allowance for loan losses are particular concentrationswithin the portfolio, including the geographic concentration of loans inCalifornia, which accounted for approximately 45.0% of the portfolio atSeptember 30, 2003, and concentrations of loans to individual borrowers.

 

CapitalCrossing Preferred’s allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2003 was$3.8 million. The determination of this allowance requires the use ofestimates and assumptions regarding the risks inherent in individual loans andthe loan portfolio in its entirety. In addition, regulatory agenciesperiodically review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and mayrequire Capital Crossing Preferred to make additions to its allowance for loanlosses. While management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable,there can be no assurance that they will be proven to be correct in the future.The actual amount of future provisions that may be required cannot bedetermined, and such provisions may exceed the amounts of past provisions.Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorbthe known and inherent risks in Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio ateach date based on the facts known to management as of such date. Managementcontinues to monitor and modify the allowances for general and specific loanlosses as economic conditions dictate.

 

The followingtable sets forth certain information relating to the activity in the allowancefor loan losses for the periods indicated:

#### ***Stockholders’ Equity.***  Total stockholders’ equity decreased $113.6million, or 34.3%, to $217.9 million at September 30, 2003 from $331.6million at December 31, 2002. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was aresult of distributions to the common stockholder of $134.4 million, in theform of common stock dividends and returns of capital, and preferred dividendsof $2.5 million, offset by net income of $23.2 million.

#### ** **

The distributions to the common stockholder were $125.0 million ofcash, with the remainder being in the form of mortgage loans.  These distributions were partially as aresult of excess cash, which had accumulated as a result of loan repayments.Management periodically reviews the asset size and composition of CapitalCrossing Preferred, and may make distributions of cash or mortgage loans basedon this analysis.  In the future, cashcollections may be used to purchase additional loans or for additional returnsof capital depending on various factors such as the level of loans held at thetime.

 

#### **InterestRate Risk**

#### ** **

Capital Crossing Preferred’s income consistsprimarily of interest income. If there is a decline in market interest rates,Capital Crossing Preferred may experience a reduction in interest income and acorresponding decrease in funds available to be distributed to itsshareholders. The reduction in interest income may result from downwardadjustments of the indices upon which the interest rates on loans are based andfrom prepayments of mortgage loans with fixed interest rates, resulting inreinvestment of the proceeds in lower yielding mortgage loans. Capital CrossingPreferred does not intend to use any derivative products to manage its interestrate risk.

 

**SignificantConcentration of Credit Risk**

 

Concentration of credit risk generally arises with respect to CapitalCrossing Preferred’s loan portfolio when a number of borrowers engage insimilar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region.Concentration of credit risk indicates the relative sensitivity of CapitalCrossing Preferred’s performance to both positive and negative developmentsaffecting a particular industry. Capital Crossing Preferred’s balance sheetexposure to geographic concentrations directly affects the credit risk of theloans within its loan portfolio.

 

At September 30, 2003, 45.0% and 14.6%,respectively, of Capital Crossing Preferred’s total loan portfolio consisted ofloans located in California and New England. At December 31,2002, 43.7% and 14.1% of Capital Crossing Preferred’s total real estate loan

 

14

----

 

portfolio consisted of loanslocated in California and New England, respectively. Consequently, the portfolio may experience a higher default ratein the event of adverse economic, political or business developments or naturalhazards in California or New England that may affect the ability of propertyowners to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages.

 

#### **Liquidity Risk Management**

#### ** **

The objective of liquidity management is toensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of CapitalCrossing Preferred’s financial commitments. In managing liquidity risk, CapitalCrossing Preferred takes into account various legal limitations placed on aREIT. Capital Crossing Preferred’s principal liquidity need is to pay dividendson the preferred shares and common shares.

 

The acquisition of additional mortgage assets is intended to be fundedprimarily through repayment of principal balances of mortgage assets byindividual borrowers. Capital Crossing Preferred does not have and does notanticipate having any material capital expenditures. To the extent that theBoard of Directors determines that additional funding is required, CapitalCrossing Preferred may raise such funds through additional equity offerings,debt financing or retention of cash flow (after consideration of provisions ofthe Internal Revenue Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of at least 90%of its REIT taxable income and taking into account taxes that would be imposedon undistributed income), or a combination of these methods. Except for itsobligation to guarantee certain borrowings of Capital Crossing, CapitalCrossing Preferred does not currently intend to incur any indebtedness. Theorganizational documents of Capital Crossing Preferred limit the amount ofindebtedness which it is permitted to incur without the approval of theSeries A and the Series C preferred stockholders to no more than 100%of the total stockholders’ equity of Capital Crossing Preferred. Any such debtmay include intercompany advances made by Capital Crossing to Capital CrossingPreferred.

# **RISK FACTORS AND FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATINGRESULTS**

# ** **

Set forth below are a number of risk factors that investors shouldcarefully consider in making an investment in Capital Crossing Preferred’spreferred stock. These factors may cause Capital Crossing Preferred’s actualresults to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance orachievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

All of these factors should be carefully reviewed, and the reader ofthis Form 10-Q should be aware that there might be other factors that couldcause these differences.

 

**A decline in Capital Crossing’s capitallevels may result in the Series A and Series C preferred shares beingsubject to automatic exchange into preferred shares of Capital Crossing**

 

The returns from an investment in the Series A or Series Cpreferred shares will depend to a significant extent on the performance andcapital of Capital Crossing. A significant decline in the performance andcapital levels of Capital Crossing or the placement of Capital Crossing intobankruptcy, reorganization, conservatorship or receivership could result in theautomatic exchange of the Series A and Series C preferred shares forpreferred shares of Capital Crossing, which would represent an investment inCapital Crossing and not in Capital Crossing Preferred. Under thesecircumstances:

 

•                  aholder of Series A or Series C preferred shares would be a preferredstockholder of Capital Crossing at a time when Capital Crossing’s financialcondition was deteriorating or when Capital Crossing had been placed intobankruptcy, reorganization, conservatorship or receivership and, accordingly,it is unlikely that Capital Crossing would be in a financial position to payany dividends on the preferred shares of Capital Crossing. An investment inCapital Crossing is also subject to risks that are distinct from the risksassociated with an investment in Capital Crossing Preferred. For example, aninvestment in Capital Crossing would involve risks relating to the capitallevels of, and other federal and state regulatory requirements applicable to,Capital Crossing, and the performance of Capital Crossing’s overall loanportfolio and other business lines. Capital Crossing also has significantlygreater liabilities and significantly less stockholders’ equity than doesCapital Crossing Preferred;

 

•                  ifa liquidation of Capital Crossing occurs, the claims of depositors andcreditors of Capital Crossing and of the FDIC would have priority over theclaims of holders of the preferred shares of Capital Crossing, and therefore, aholder of Series A and Series C preferred shares likely would receivesubstantially less than such holder would receive had the Series A andSeries C preferred shares not been exchanged for preferred shares ofCapital Crossing; and

 

•                  theexchange of the Series A or Series C preferred shares for preferredshares of Capital Crossing would be a taxable event to a holder ofSeries A or Series C preferred shares under the Internal Revenue Code,and such holder would incur a gain or a loss, as the case may be, measured bythe difference between such holder’s basis in the Series A orSeries C preferred shares and the fair market value of Capital Crossingpreferred shares received in the exchange.

 

**Because of Capital Crossing Preferred’sobligations to creditors, it may not be able to make dividend or liquidationpayments to holders of the Series A and Series C preferred shares**

 

The Series A and Series C preferred shares rank:

 

•                  juniorto borrowings of Capital Crossing Preferred, including claims of the FHLBB foramounts due or which may become due under Capital Crossing Preferred’sguarantee of Capital Crossing’s obligations to the FHLBB, and any otherobligations to Capital Crossing Preferred’s creditors upon its liquidation; and

 

•                  seniorto Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock and its Series B preferredstock with regard to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation.

 

If Capital Crossing Preferred incurssignificant indebtedness, it may not have sufficient funds to make dividend orliquidation payments on the Series A or Series C preferred shares.Upon Capital Crossing Preferred’s liquidation, its obligations to its creditorswould rank senior to the Series A and Series C preferred shares. AtSeptember 30, 2003, Capital Crossing Preferred had approximately $82,000in accounts payable and other liabilities which, upon its liquidation, would berequired to be paid before any payments could be made to holders of theSeries A or Series C preferred shares. In addition, upon CapitalCrossing Preferred’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if it does nothave sufficient funds to pay the full liquidation amount to the holders of theSeries A and Series C preferred shares, such holders may receive lessthan the $10.00 per share liquidation amount.

 

16

----

 

The terms of the Series A andSeries C preferred shares limit Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability toincur debt in excess of 100% of its stockholders’ equity without the approvalof the holders of all of the outstanding Series A and Series Cpreferred shares but do not require that Capital Crossing Preferred obtain theapproval of the holders of the Series A and Series C preferred sharesto issue additional series of preferred shares which rank equal to theSeries A and Series C preferred shares as to payment of dividends oramount upon liquidation. As a result, subject to these limitations, CapitalCrossing Preferred may incur obligations which may further limit its ability tomake dividend or liquidation payments in the future.

 

**Bank regulators may limit the ability ofCapital Crossing Preferred to implement its business plan and may restrict itsability to pay dividends**

 

Because Capital Crossing Preferred is asubsidiary of Capital Crossing, federal and state regulatory authorities willhave the right to examine it and its activities and under certaincircumstances, to impose restrictions on Capital Crossing or Capital CrossingPreferred which could impact Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to conductits business according to its business plan, which could materially adverselyaffect the financial condition and results of operations of Capital CrossingPreferred:

 

•                  ifCapital Crossing’s regulators determine that Capital Crossing’s relationship toCapital Crossing Preferred results in an unsafe and unsound banking practice,the regulators could restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to transferassets, to make distributions to its stockholders, including dividends on itsSeries A and Series C preferred shares, or to redeem shares ofSeries A and Series C preferred stock or even require CapitalCrossing to sever its relationship with or divest its ownership interest inCapital Crossing Preferred. Such actions could potentially result in CapitalCrossing Preferred’s failure to qualify as a REIT.

 

•                  paymentof dividends on the Series A and Series C preferred shares could alsobe subject to regulatory limitations if Capital Crossing becomes undercapitalized.Capital Crossing will be deemed undercapitalized if its total risk-basedcapital ratio is less than 8.0%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is lessthan 4.0% or its Tier 1 leverage ratio is less than 4.0%. At September 30,2003, Capital Crossing had a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.40%, a Tier 1risk-based capital ratio of 14.13% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.17%, whichis sufficient for Capital Crossing to be considered well-capitalized. As partof its common stock repurchase program, Capital Crossing has also agreed withthe FDIC to maintain, for so long as the repurchase program continues, its Tier1 leverage ratio at least 8.00%. Capital Crossing Preferred makes no assurancethat Capital Crossing will be well-capitalized under applicable regulations asof any future date. For purposes of calculating these capital ratios as apercentage of Capital Crossing’s risk-weighted assets, as opposed to its totalassets, Capital Crossing’s assets are assigned to risk categories based on therelative credit risk of the asset in question. These risk weights consist of 0%for assets deemed least risky such as cash, claims backed by the full faith andcredit of the U.S. government, and balances due from Federal Reserve banks; 20%for assets deemed slightly more risky such as portions of obligationsconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government or federal funds sold; 50% forassets deemed still more risky such as government issued-revenue bonds,one-to-four family residential first mortgage loans and well-collateralizedmulti-family residential first mortgage loans; and 100% for all other assets,including private sector loans such as commercial mortgage loans as well asbank-owned real estate.

 

•                  whileCapital Crossing Preferred believes that dividends on the Series A andSeries C preferred shares should not be considered distributions byCapital Crossing, the FDIC may not agree with this position. Under FDICregulations on capital distributions, the ability of Capital Crossing to make acapital distribution varies depending primarily on Capital Crossing’s earningsand regulatory capital levels. Capital distributions are defined to includepayment of dividends, stock repurchases, cash-out mergers and otherdistributions charged against the capital accounts of an institution. The FDICcould limit or prohibit the payment of dividends on the Series A andSeries C preferred shares if it determines that the payment of thosedividends is a capital distribution by Capital Crossing and that Capital Crossing’searnings and regulatory capital levels are below specified levels.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred does not haveinsurance to cover its exposure to borrower defaults and bankruptcies andspecial hazard losses that are not covered by its standard hazard insurancepolicies**

 

Capital Crossing Preferred does not normallyobtain general credit enhancements such as mortgagor bankruptcy insurance orobtain special hazard insurance for its mortgage assets, other than standardhazard insurance, which will in each case only relate to individual mortgageloans. Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferred will be subject to risks ofborrower defaults and bankruptcies and special hazard losses, such as lossesoccurring from floods that are not covered by standard hazard insurance. Asignificant number of loans acquired in recent years are loans that wereoriginated under the Small Business Administration’s disaster relief program.These loans are typically loans made to small businesses and individuals forthe purpose of assisting those who have been the victim of a disaster and maybe located in an area prone to such disasters. In the event of a default on anymortgage loan held by Capital Crossing Preferred resulting from decliningproperty values or worsening economic conditions, among other factors, it wouldbear the risk of loss

 

17

of principal to the extent ofany deficiency between (1) the value of the related mortgaged property,plus any payments from an insurer or guarantor in the case of commercialmortgage loans, and (2) the amount owing on the mortgage loan.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred’s results will beaffected by factors beyond its control**

 

Capital Crossing Preferred’s mortgage loanportfolio is subject to local economic conditions which could affect the valueof the real estate assets underlying its loans and therefore, its results ofoperations will be affected by various conditions in the real estate market,all of which are beyond its control, such as:

 

•                  localand other economic conditions affecting real estate values;

 

•                  thecontinued financial stability of a borrower and the borrower’s ability to makemortgage payments;

 

•                  theability of tenants to make lease payments;

 

•                  theability of a property to attract and retain tenants, which may in turn beaffected by local conditions, such as oversupply of space or a reduction indemand for rental space in the area;

 

•                  interestrate levels and the availability of credit to refinance mortgage loans at orprior to maturity; and

 

•                  increasedoperating costs, including energy costs, real estate taxes and costs ofcompliance with environmental controls and regulations.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans areconcentrated in California and New England and adverse conditions in thosemarkets could adversely affect its operations**

 

Properties underlying Capital CrossingPreferred’s current mortgage assets are concentrated primarily in California,particularly Southern California, and New England. As of September 30,2003, approximately 45.0% of the balances of its mortgage loans were secured byproperties located in California and 14.6% in New England. Adverse economic,political or business developments or natural hazards may affect these areasand the ability of property owners in these areas to make payments of principaland interest on the underlying mortgages. If either region experienced adverseeconomic, political or business conditions, Capital Crossing Preferred wouldlikely experience higher rates of loss and delinquency on its mortgage loansthan if its loans were more geographically diverse.

 

**A substantial majority of Capital CrossingPreferred’s loans were originated by other parties whose level of due diligencemay be different than Capital Crossing’s level of due diligence**

 

At September 30, 2003, approximately93.9% of Capital Crossing Preferred’s loan portfolio consisted of loansoriginated by third parties that were purchased by Capital Crossing andsubsequently acquired by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing.Because these loans were originated by third parties, Capital Crossinggenerally is not able to conduct the same level of due diligence on these loansthat it would have conducted had it originated them. Generally, while CapitalCrossing conducts an acquisition review, it relies on the underwritingstandards of the parties originating the loans it acquires. The standards ofthese loan originators may be substantially different than those of CapitalCrossing. These differences may include less rigorous appraisal requirementsand debt service coverage ratios, and less rigorous analysis of propertylocation and environmental factors, building condition and age, tenant quality,compliance with zoning regulations, any use restrictions, easements or right ofways that may impact the value and the borrower’s ability to manage theproperty. Other disadvantages of purchased loans versus originated loans mayinclude the lack of current financial information, incomplete legaldocumentation and outdated appraisals.

 

**More than half of Capital CrossingPreferred’s loan portfolio is made up of commercial mortgage loans which aregenerally riskier than other types of loans**

 

Commercial mortgage loans constitutedapproximately 67.5% of the total gross loans in Capital Crossing Preferred’sloan portfolio at September 30, 2003 and commercial mortgage loans aregenerally subject it to greater risks than other types of loans. CapitalCrossing Preferred’s commercial mortgage loans, like most commercial mortgageloans, generally lack standardized terms, tend to have shorter maturities thanother mortgage loans and may not be fully amortizing, meaning that they have aprincipal balance or “balloon” payment due on maturity. The commercial realestate properties underlying Capital Crossing Preferred’s commercial mortgageloans also tend to be unique and are more difficult to value than other realestate properties. They are also subject to relatively greater environmentalrisks than other types of loans and to the corresponding burdens and costs ofcompliance with environmental laws and regulations. Because of these risksrelated to commercial mortgage loans, Capital Crossing Preferred may experiencehigher rates of default on its

 

18

----

 

mortgage loans than it would ifits loan portfolio was more diversified and included a greater number ofowner-occupied residential or other mortgage loans.  Higher rates of default would cause Capital Crossing Preferred toincrease its provision for loan losses, which may have a material adverseaffect on its business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred may not be able topurchase loans at the same volumes or with the same yields as it hashistorically purchased**

 

To date Capital Crossing Preferred haspurchased all of the loans in its portfolio from Capital Crossing.Historically, Capital Crossing has acquired such loans (1) frominstitutions which sought to eliminate certain loans or categories of loans fromtheir portfolios, (2) from institutions participating in securitizationprograms, (3) from failed or consolidating financial institutions and(4) from government agencies, specifically the Small BusinessAdministration. Future loan purchases will depend on the availability of poolsof loans offered for sale and Capital Crossing’s ability to submit successfulbids or negotiate satisfactory purchase prices. The acquisition of whole loansis highly competitive. In fact, the Small Business Administration has recentlyannounced that all future assets sales are on hold, pending the outcome of aninternal review of its loan sale program. Consequently, Capital CrossingPreferred cannot provide assurance that Capital Crossing will be able topurchase loans at the same volumes or with the same yields as it hashistorically purchased. This may interfere with Capital Crossing Preferred’sability to maintain the requisite level of mortgage assets to maintain itsqualification as a REIT. If volumes of loans purchased decline or the yields onthese loans decline further, Capital Crossing Preferred would experience amaterial adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results ofoperations.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred could be heldresponsible for environmental liabilities of properties it acquires throughforeclosure**

 

If Capital Crossing Preferred chooses toforeclose on a defaulted mortgage loan to recover its investment it may besubject to environmental liabilities related to the underlying real property.Approximately 67.5% of the loans in Capital Crossing Preferred’s portfolio atSeptember 30, 2003 were commercial mortgage loans, which generally aresubject to relatively greater environmental risks than other types of loans.Hazardous substances or wastes, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof maybe discovered on properties during Capital Crossing Preferred’s ownership orafter a sale to a third party. The amount of environmental liability couldexceed the value of the real property. There can be no assurance that CapitalCrossing Preferred would not be fully liable for the entire cost of any removaland clean-up on an acquired property, that the cost of removal and clean-upwould not exceed the value of the property or that Capital Crossing Preferredcould recoup any of the costs from any third party. In addition, CapitalCrossing Preferred may find it difficult or impossible to sell the propertyprior to or following any such remediation.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred is dependent invirtually every phase of its operations on the diligence and skill of themanagement of Capital Crossing**

 

Capital Crossing, which holds all of CapitalCrossing Preferred’s common stock, is involved in virtually every aspect ofCapital Crossing Preferred’s existence. Capital Crossing Preferred has fiveofficers and no other employees and does not have any independent corporateinfrastructure. Capital Crossing Preferred does not have any employees becauseit has retained Capital Crossing to perform all necessary functions pursuant tothe advisory agreement and the master service agreement. All of CapitalCrossing Preferred’s officers are also officers of Capital Crossing. Under anadvisory agreement between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing,Capital Crossing administers day-to-day activities, including monitoring ofCapital Crossing Preferred’s credit quality and advising it with respect to theacquisition, management, financing and disposition of mortgage assets and itsoperations generally. Under a master service agreement between Capital CrossingPreferred and Capital Crossing, Capital Crossing services Capital CrossingPreferred’s loan portfolio. The advisory agreement has an initial term of fiveyears with an automatic renewal feature and the master service agreement has anone-year term with an automatic renewal feature. Both the master serviceagreement and the advisory agreement are subject to earlier termination uponprovision of 30 days and 90 days notice, respectively. CapitalCrossing may subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the advisoryagreement to its affiliates or, with the approval of a majority of the Board ofDirectors as well as a majority of the independent directors, subcontract itsobligations under the advisory agreement to unrelated third parties. CapitalCrossing will not, in connection with the subcontracting of any of itsobligations under the advisory agreement, be discharged or relieved from itsobligations under the advisory agreement. The loss of the services of CapitalCrossing, or the inability of Capital Crossing to effectively provide suchservices whether as a result of the loss of key members of Capital Crossing’smanagement, early termination of the agreements or otherwise, and CapitalCrossing Preferred’s inability to replace such services on favorable terms, orat all, could adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to conductits operations.

**Capital Crossing Preferred’s relationshipwith Capital Crossing may create conflicts of interest**

 

Capital Crossing and its affiliates may haveinterests which are not identical to Capital Crossing Preferred’s and thereforeconflicts of interest have arisen and may arise in the future with respect totransactions between Capital Crossing Preferred and Capital Crossing such as:

 

*** Acquisition of mortgage assets.***  Capital Crossing Preferred anticipates thatit will from time to time continue to purchase additional mortgage assets.Capital Crossing Preferred intends to acquire all or substantially all of suchmortgage assets from Capital Crossing, on terms that are comparable to thosethat could be obtained by Capital Crossing Preferred if such mortgage assetswere purchased from unrelated third parties. Neither Capital Crossing Preferrednor Capital Crossing currently have specific policies with respect to thepurchase by Capital Crossing Preferred from Capital Crossing of particularloans or pools of loans, other than that such assets must be eligible to beheld by a REIT. Although these purchases are structured to take advantage ofthe underwriting procedures of Capital Crossing, and while Capital CrossingPreferred believes that any agreements and transactions between it, on the onehand, and Capital Crossing and/or its affiliates on the other hand, are fair toall parties and consistent with market terms, neither Capital CrossingPreferred nor Capital Crossing have obtained any third-party valuation toconfirm whether Capital Crossing Preferred will be paying fair market value forthese loans, nor does Capital Crossing Preferred anticipate doing so in thefuture. Additionally, through limiting Capital Crossing Preferred’s source ofpurchased mortgage assets solely to those originated or purchased by CapitalCrossing, Capital Crossing Preferred’s portfolio will generally reflect thenature, scope and risk of Capital Crossing’s portfolio rather than a morediverse portfolio composed of mortgage loans also purchased from other lenders.

 

***Servicingof Capital Crossing Preferred mortgage assets by Capital Crossing.***  Capital Crossing Preferred’s loans areserviced by Capital Crossing pursuant to the terms of the master serviceagreement. Capital Crossing in its role as servicer under the terms of themaster service agreement receives a fee equal to 0.20% per annum, payablemonthly, on the gross outstanding principal balances of loans serviced. Themaster service agreement requires Capital Crossing to service the loanportfolio in a manner substantially the same as for similar work performed byCapital Crossing for transactions on its own behalf. This will becomeespecially important as Capital Crossing services any loans which becomeclassified or are placed on non-performing status, or are renegotiated due tothe financial deterioration of the borrower. While Capital Crossing Preferredbelieves that Capital Crossing will diligently pursue collection of anynon-performing loans, Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provide assurance thatthis will be the case. Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability to make timelypayments of dividends will depend in part upon Capital Crossing’s promptcollection efforts on behalf of Capital Crossing Preferred.

 

***Futuredispositions by Capital Crossing Preferred of mortgage assets to CapitalCrossing or its affiliates.***  The master service agreement provides thatforeclosures and dispositions of the mortgage assets are to be performed with aview toward maximizing Capital Crossing Preferred’s recovery as owner of themortgage assets, and Capital Crossing shall service the mortgage assets solelywith a view toward Capital Crossing Preferred’s interests, and without regardto the interests of Capital Crossing or any of its affiliates. However, CapitalCrossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that any such agreement ortransaction will be on terms as favorable to it as would have been obtainedfrom unaffiliated third parties. Capital Crossing may seek to exercise itsinfluence over Capital Crossing Preferred’s affairs so as to cause the sale ofthe mortgage assets owned by Capital Crossing Preferred and their replacementby lesser quality loans purchased from Capital Crossing or elsewhere whichcould adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s business and its ability tomake timely payments of dividends.

 

***Futuremodifications of the advisory agreement or master service agreement.***  Should Capital Crossing Preferred seek tomodify either the advisory agreement or the master service agreement, it wouldrely upon its officers, all of whom are also officers of Capital Crossing,and/or its directors, three of whom are also officers of Capital Crossing.Thus, Capital Crossing Preferred’s officers and/or directors would beresponsible for taking positions with respect to such agreements that, while inCapital Crossing Preferred’s best interests, would not be in the best interestsof Capital Crossing. Although the termination, modification or decision not torenew the advisory agreement and/or the master service agreement requires theapproval of a majority of Capital Crossing Preferred’s independent directors,Capital Crossing, as holder of all of Capital Crossing Preferred’s outstandingcommon stock, controls the election of all Capital Crossing Preferreddirectors, including the independent directors. Capital Crossing Preferredcannot provide assurance that such modifications will be on terms as favorableto it as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

 

***Theterms of Capital Crossing Preferred’s guarantee of obligations of CapitalCrossing.*** Capital Crossing Preferred has guaranteed all of the obligations ofCapital Crossing under advances Capital Crossing may receive from time to timefrom the FHLBB, and has agreed to pledge a significant amount of it’s assets inconnection with those advances. The assets Capital Crossing Preferred pledgesto the FHLBB will vary from time to time; however, the potential exists forCapital Crossing Preferred to pledge all of its assets to the FHLBB to secureadvances to Capital Crossing. In addition, Capital Crossing has pledged to theFHLBB all of the shares of Capital Crossing Preferred’s capital stock it ownsas collateral for its FHLBB borrowings. Under the terms of the pledge, ifCapital Crossing becomes undercapitalized the FHLBB may require CapitalCrossing to dissolve Capital Crossing Preferred such that the assets of CapitalCrossing Preferred are distributed to Capital Crossing. In this circumstancethe holders of Series A and Series C Preferred shares would

 

20

receive their liquidationpreference only to the extent there are available assets of Capital CrossingPreferred following satisfaction of its outstanding obligations, including itsguarantee of Capital Crossing’s FHLBB borrowings. At September 30, 2003,approximately $34.5 million, or 15.8%, of Capital Crossing Preferredassets have been pledged to and accepted by the FHLBB to secure advances toCapital Crossing. Capital Crossing has also agreed with the FHLBB that it willnot request or accept advances from the FHLBB in excess of Capital CrossingPreferred’s total stockholders equity, less the stockholders equityattributable to the Series A and Series C preferred shares. Asof  September 30, 2003, thisrestriction would limit Capital Crossing’s ability to receive advances inexcess of approximately $185.4 million. As of September 30, 2003,Capital Crossing had $129.0 million in outstanding FHLBB borrowings. Theguarantee and pledge were approved by Capital Crossing Preferred’s independentdirectors, subject to certain requirements and limitations, including therequirement that Capital Crossing pay Capital Crossing Preferred a guaranteefee. Any default by Capital Crossing on its obligations which would requireCapital Crossing Preferred to satisfy its guarantee could adversely affect itsbusiness and its ability to make timely payments of dividends.

 

***Themaster loan purchase agreement was not the result of arm’s-length negotiations.***  Capital Crossing Preferred acquires loanspursuant to the master mortgage loan purchase agreement between CapitalCrossing Preferred and Capital Crossing, at an amount equal to CapitalCrossing’s net carrying value for those mortgage assets. While Capital CrossingPreferred believes that the master mortgage loan purchase agreement was fair toall parties and consistent with market terms, all of it’s officers and three ofits directors are also officers and/or directors of Capital Crossing and/oraffiliates of Capital Crossing. Capital Crossing, as holder of all of Capital CrossingPreferred’s outstanding common stock, controls the election of all CapitalCrossing Preferred directors, including the independent directors. CapitalCrossing Preferred cannot provide assurance that the master mortgage loanpurchase agreement was entered into on terms as favorable to Capital CrossingPreferred as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated thirdparties.

 

**Neither Capital Crossing Preferred norCapital Crossing have specific policies with respect to the purchase by CapitalCrossing Preferred from Capital Crossing of particular loans or pools of loans**

 

The lack of specific policies with respect tothe purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred of loans from Capital Crossing couldresult in Capital Crossing Preferred acquiring lower quality mortgage assetsfrom Capital Crossing than if such policies were otherwise in place. NeitherCapital Crossing Preferred nor Capital Crossing currently have specificpolicies with respect to the purchase by Capital Crossing Preferred from CapitalCrossing of particular loans or pools of loans, other than that such assetsmust be eligible to be held by a REIT. Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board ofDirectors has adopted certain policies to guide the acquisition and dispositionof assets but these policies may be revised from time to time at the discretionof the Board of Directors without a vote of Capital Crossing Preferred’sstockholders. Capital Crossing Preferred intends to acquire all orsubstantially all of the additional mortgage assets it may acquire in thefuture from Capital Crossing on terms that are comparable to those that couldbe obtained by Capital Crossing Preferred if such mortgage assets werepurchased from unrelated third parties, but Capital Crossing Preferred cannotprovide assurance that this will always be the case.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board ofDirectors has broad discretion to revise Capital Crossing Preferred’sstrategies**

 

Capital Crossing Preferred’s Board ofDirectors has established Capital Crossing Preferred’s investment and operatingstrategies. These strategies may be revised from time to time at the discretionof the Board of Directors without a vote of Capital Crossing Preferred’sstockholders. Changes in Capital Crossing Preferred’s strategies could have a negativeeffect on shareholders.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred does not obtainthird-party valuations and therefore it may pay more or receive less than fairmarket value for its mortgage assets**

 

To date, Capital Crossing Preferred has notobtained third-party valuations as part of its loan acquisitions ordispositions and does not anticipate obtaining third-party valuations forfuture acquisitions and dispositions of mortgage assets. Capital CrossingPreferred does not intend to obtain third-party valuations even where it isacquiring mortgage assets from, or disposing mortgage assets to, one of itsaffiliates, including Capital Crossing. Accordingly, Capital Crossing Preferredmay pay its affiliates, including Capital Crossing, more than the fair marketvalue of mortgage assets it acquires and may receive less than the fair marketvalue of the mortgage assets it sells based on a third-party valuation.

 

**Capital Crossing Preferred may pay more thanfair market value for mortgages it purchases from Capital Crossing because itdoes not engage in arm’s- length negotiations with Capital Crossing**

 

Capital Crossing Preferred acquires mortgageassets from Capital Crossing under a master mortgage loan purchase agreementbetween it and Capital Crossing, at an amount equal to Capital Crossing’s netcarrying value for those mortgage assets. Because Capital Crossing is anaffiliate of Capital Crossing Preferred’s, Capital Crossing Preferred does notengage in any arm’s-length negotiations

regarding the consideration tobe paid. Accordingly, if Capital Crossing’s net carrying value exceeds the fairmarket value of the mortgage assets, Capital Crossing Preferred would payCapital Crossing more than the fair market value for those mortgaged assets.

 

**A decline in interest rates could reduceCapital Crossing Preferred earnings and affect its ability to pay dividends**

 

Capital Crossing Preferred’s income consistsprimarily of interest earned on its mortgage assets and short-term investments.A significant portion of Capital Crossing Preferred’s mortgage assets bearinterest at adjustable rates. If there is a decline in interest rates, thenCapital Crossing Preferred will experience a decrease in income available to bedistributed to its stockholders. If interest rates decline, Capital CrossingPreferred may also experience an increase in prepayments on its mortgage assetsand may find it difficult to purchase additional mortgage assets bearing ratessufficient to support payment of dividends on the Series A andSeries C preferred shares. Because the dividend rates on the Series Aand Series C preferred shares are fixed, a significant decline in interestrates could materially adversely affect Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability topay dividends on the Series A and Series C preferred shares.

 

**Tax Risks Related to REITs**

 

***IfCapital Crossing Preferred fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject tofederal income tax at regular corporate rates.***  If Capital Crossing Preferred fails to qualifyas a REIT for any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax,including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income atregular corporate rates. As a result, the amount available for distribution toCapital Crossing Preferred’s stockholders would be reduced for the year oryears involved. In addition, unless entitled to relief under statutoryprovisions, Capital Crossing Preferred would be disqualified from treatment asa REIT for the four taxable years following the year which qualification waslost. The failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce Capital CrossingPreferred’s net earnings available for distribution to its stockholders becauseof the additional tax liability for the year or years involved. CapitalCrossing Preferred’s failure to qualify as a REIT would not by itself give itthe right to redeem the Series A or Series C preferred shares, norwould it give the holders of the Series A or Series C preferredshares the right to have their shares redeemed.

 

Although Capital Crossing Preferred currentlyintends to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, future economic,market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause it to determine that it isin its best interest and in the best interest of holders of its common stockand preferred stock to revoke its REIT election. The tax law prohibits CapitalCrossing Preferred from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable yearsfollowing the year of any such revocation.

 

***IfCapital Crossing Preferred does not distribute 90% of its net taxable income,it may not qualify as a REIT.***  In order to qualify as a REIT, CapitalCrossing Preferred generally is required each year to distribute to itsstockholders at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capitalgains. Capital Crossing Preferred may retain the remainder of REIT taxableincome or all or part of its net capital gain, but will be subject to tax atregular corporate rates on such income. In addition, Capital Crossing Preferredis subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by whichcertain distributions considered as paid by Capital Crossing Preferred withrespect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of itsordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 95% of its capital gains netincome for the calendar year and (3) 100% of any undistributed income fromprior periods. Under certain circumstances, federal or state regulatoryauthorities may restrict Capital Crossing Preferred’s ability, as a subsidiaryof Capital Crossing, to make distributions to its stockholders in an amountnecessary to retain its REIT qualification. Such a restriction could result inCapital Crossing Preferred failing to qualify as a REIT. To the extent CapitalCrossing Preferred’s REIT taxable income may exceed the actual cash receivedfor a particular period, Capital Crossing Preferred may not have sufficientliquidity to make distributions necessary to retain its REIT qualification.

 

***CapitalCrossing Preferred may redeem the Series A and Series C preferredshares at any time upon the occurrence of a tax event.***  At any time following the occurrence ofcertain changes in the tax laws or regulations concerning REITs, CapitalCrossing Preferred will have the right to redeem the Series A and Series Cpreferred shares in whole, subject to the prior written approval of the FDIC.Capital Crossing Preferred would have the right to redeem the Series A andSeries C preferred shares if it received an opinion of counsel to theeffect that, as a result of changes to the tax laws or regulations:

 

(1)          dividends paid byCapital Crossing Preferred with respect to its capital stock are not fullydeductible by it for income tax purposes; or

 

(2)          Capital CrossingPreferred are otherwise unable to qualify as a REIT.

 

The occurrence of such changes in the taxlaws or regulations will not, however, give the holders of the Series A orSeries C preferred shares any right to have their shares redeemed.

***CapitalCrossing Preferred has imposed ownership limitations to protect its ability toqualify as a REIT, however, if ownership of the common stock of CapitalCrossing becomes concentrated in a small number of individuals Capital CrossingPreferred may fail to qualify as a REIT. ***Tomaintain Capital Crossing Preferred’s status as a REIT, not more than 50% invalue of Capital Crossing Preferred’s outstanding shares may be owned, directlyor indirectly, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal RevenueCode, or the Code, to include certain entities, during the last half of eachtaxable year. Capital Crossing Preferred currently satisfies this requirementbecause for this purpose Capital Crossing Preferred’s common stock held byCapital Crossing is treated as held by Capital Crossing’s stockholders.However, it is possible that the ownership of Capital Crossing might becomesufficiently concentrated in the future such that five or fewer individualswould be treated as having constructive ownership of more than 50% of the valueof Capital Crossing Preferred’s stock. Capital Crossing Preferred may havedifficulty monitoring the daily ownership and constructive ownership of itsoutstanding shares and, therefore, Capital Crossing Preferred cannot provideassurance that it will continue to meet the share ownership requirement. Thisrisk may be increased in the future as Capital Crossing implements common stockrepurchase programs because repurchases may cause ownership in Capital Crossingto become more concentrated. In addition, while the fact that the Series Aand the Series C preferred shares may be redeemed or exchanged will notaffect Capital Crossing Preferred’s REIT status prior to any such redemption orexchange, the redemption or exchange of all or a part of the Series A andSeries C preferred shares could adversely affect Capital CrossingPreferred’s ability to satisfy the share ownership requirements in the future.

**Item3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

 

Market risk is the risk of loss from adversechanges in market prices and interest rates. It is the objective of CapitalCrossing Preferred to attempt to control risks associated with interest ratemovements. Capital Crossing Preferred’s market risk arises primarily frominterest rate risk inherent in holding loans. To that end, management activelymonitors and manages the interest rate risk exposure of Capital CrossingPreferred.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred’s managementreviews, among other things, the sensitivity of Capital Crossing Preferred’sassets to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets, purchaseand sale activity, and anticipated loan pay-offs. Capital Crossing’s seniormanagement also approves and establishes pricing and funding decisions withrespect to Capital Crossing Preferred’s overall asset and liabilitycomposition.

 

Capital Crossing Preferred’s methods forevaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of its interest-earningassets maturing or repricing within a given time period. Since Capital CrossingPreferred has no interest-bearing liabilities, a period of rising interestrates would tend to result in an increase in interest income. A period offalling interest rates would tend to adversely affect interest income.

 

The following table sets forth CapitalCrossing Preferred’s interest-rate-sensitive assets categorized by repricingdates and weighted average yields at September 30, 2003. For fixed rateinstruments, the repricing date is the maturity date. For adjustable-rateinstruments, the repricing date is deemed to be the earliest possible interestrate adjustment date. Assets that are subject to immediate repricing are placedin the overnight column.

(1)                                  Loans are presentedat net amounts before deducting the allowance for loan losses and excludenon-performing loans.

 

Based on Capital Crossing Preferred’s experience, management appliesthe assumption that, on average, approximately 28% of the outstanding fixed andadjustable rate loans will prepay annually.

 

At September 30, 2003, the fair value of net loans was $176.3million as compared to the net carrying value of net loans of $169.2 million.The fair value of cash and interest-bearing deposits in banks approximates carryingvalue.

**Item4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

 

(a)                                  Evaluation of disclosure controls andprocedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), CapitalCrossing Preferred’s management, with the participation of its PrincipalExecutive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated theeffectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of themost recent fiscal quarter.  Indesigning and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, CapitalCrossing Preferred and its management recognize that any controls andprocedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only areasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, andmanagement necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating andimplementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer andPrincipal Financial Officer concluded that they believe Capital CrossingPreferred’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective toensure that information required to be disclosed by Capital Crossing Preferredin the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms.  In connectionwith the rules regarding disclosure and control procedures, we intend to continueto review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including ourinternal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time totime make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that oursystems evolve with our business.
