, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "As a REIT, we are building our on-balance sheet portfolio of loans held for investment which will enable us to better capture the attractive economics of our loan production. We plan to build our portfolio, which stood at $1.7 billion at year end, to approximately $4.0 billion by the middle of calendar 2005. Transitioning to this strategy resulted in an anticipated net loss during the December 2004 quarter. However, we expect the net interest income produced by the portfolio of loans held for investment will result in more stable, predictable earnings for our investors."

Portfolio of loans held for investment

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, Aames Investment closed a $1.2 billion on-balance sheet securitization Securitization

 volume during the three months ended December 31, 2004 increased $50.0 million over total production during the comparable three month period a year ago, and declined $168.5 million from the $1.9 billion of total production during the September September: see month.  2004 quarter. Retail and wholesale originations during the three months ended December 31, 2004 represented 33.6 % and 66.4%, respectively, of total loan production. Total loan production during the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased $430.7 million, or 13.6%, over total production reported during the comparable six month period a year ago.

Mr. Meyerson said, "Our December 2004 quarter loan origination volumes were negatively impacted during the latter part of the quarter by competitive and interest rate pressures in the marketplace. In response to the competitive environment, we are pricing more competitively and are accelerating our initiatives to lower our costs to produce loans."

Gain on sale

Gain on sale of loans declined $37.0 million due primarily to the Company's strategy of building an on-balance sheet portfolio of loans held for investment during the three months ended December 31, 2004. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, $426.7 million of mortgage loans were sold into the secondary markets for cash, whereas during the comparable three-month period in 2003, $1.7 billion of loans were sold on a whole loan basis for cash.

Gain on sale of loans is impacted by the timing of loan origination and sales as net loan origination fees and costs related to mortgage loans originated and held for sale are deferred and recognized in gain on sale of loans at the time the mortgage loans are sold.

"Our gain on sale was negatively impacted by the difficult competitive environment as well as by the fact that we sold into the secondary markets our lower margin loan product and retained our higher margin hybrid loan product for our portfolio of loans held for investment," explained Ronald J. Nicolas, Jr., Chief Financial Officer. "We anticipate this trend will continue through the first quarter of 2005," he added.

Servicing portfolio

At December 31, 2004, the Company's total servicing portfolio was $2.8 billion, and consisted of the following (unaudited, in thousands):

Net interest income after the provision for loan losses

Net interest income, after the provision for loan losses, increased $11.5 million and $16.3 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, over amounts reported during the comparable periods in 2003. The Company began building its portfolio of loans held for investment during the three months ended December 2004. As the portfolio of loans held for investment increases in future quarters, it will contribute to a significant portion of net interest income in those periods. Management believes that net interest income produced by a portfolio of loans held for investment is a more stable, predictable earnings source than noninterest income.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income declined $38.4 million and $44.6 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, from the amounts reported during the comparable periods a year ago, due largely to a $37.0 million and a $43.4 million decline, respectively, in the gain on sale of loans sold by the Company. The decline in gain on sale of loans resulted from the Company retaining mortgage loans for its portfolio of loans held for investment as it built its portfolio and selling a smaller portion of its mortgage loans in whole loan sales during the three months ended December 31, 2004.

Note: Prior to October 1, 2003, the Company's underwriting guidelines
were different from the Super Aim Guidelines implemented at that time.
Therefore, loan production by credit grade during the six months ended
December 31, 2003 is not meaningful when compared to the presentation
during the six months ended December 31, 2004.
