Net Income and Earnings Per Share

Saxon reported net income for the second quarter of 2006 of $8.6 million, or $0.17 per share diluted, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.14 per share diluted for the second quarter of 2005, and $26.4 million, or $0.52 per share diluted for the first quarter of 2006. Second quarter 2006 net income excluding one-time items is $0.26 per share diluted.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income was $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $49.6 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $35.5 million for the first quarter of 2006. Net interest margin was 1.6% for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 3.3% for the second quarter of 2005 and 2.2% for the first quarter of 2006. Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets are calculated using a daily average balance over the time period indicated.

Net interest income declined in the second quarter of 2006 from both the second quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 due to the continued increase in the Company's cost of funds Cost of Funds

The interest rate paid on an outstanding loan.

 and decreased compared to the second quarter of 2005 due to a decline in the number of loans paying off in the portfolio that contain a prepayment penalty feature.

Core Net Interest Income and Margin

Core net interest income was $33.4 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $47.8 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $41.1 million for the first quarter of 2006. Core net interest margin was 2.0% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 3.2% for the second quarter of 2005 and 2.6% for the first quarter of 2006. Core net interest income is net interest income adjusted to include net cash settlements received or paid on derivative instruments Derivative instruments

Contracts such as options and futures whose price is derived from the price of an underlying financial asset.
.

Core net interest margin is calculated as core net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets are calculated using a daily average balance over the time period indicated. See Schedule B for a reconciliation of core net interest income to net interest income, and core net interest margin to net interest margin.

Core net interest income and margin have been impacted primarily by the competitive environment in the industry which has not increased coupons on new originations while funding costs continue to rise. In addition, core net interest income and margin have been negatively impacted by lower prepayment penalty income.

Provision for Mortgage Loan Losses

Provision for mortgage loan losses was $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2006.

The increase in provision for loan losses from the first quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2006 was due to the Company experiencing an increase of $130 million in delinquencies in its portfolio. Approximately $97 million of the increase was in the 30 days past due delinquent delinquent 1) adj. not paid in full amount or on time. 2) n. short for an underage violator of the law as in juvenile delinquent.

Total Net Cost to Produce and Cost to Service

Total net cost to produce was 1.92% of total loan production for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 2.84% for the second quarter of 2005 and 2.46% for the first quarter of 2006. Total net cost to produce for the second quarter of 2006 decreased from both the second quarter of 2005 and first quarter of 2006 due to the Company's continued focus on cost management and increases in process efficiency. Cost to service remained flat at 17 basis points for the second quarter of 2006, as compared to 17 basis points for both the second quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.

Income Tax Expense

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company took a non-cash write-off of $2.5 million in deferred tax assets related to its servicing subsidiary due to the enactment of new tax legislation in the state of Texas. This one-time charge, in addition to a higher mix of taxable REIT subsidiary income, resulted in a significantly higher effective tax rate than both the second quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.

The estimated REIT taxable income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 set forth in the table above is an estimate only and is subject to change until the Company files its 2006 REIT federal tax returns.

To maintain its status as a REIT, Saxon is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income each year to its shareholders. The calculation of REIT taxable income, under federal tax law, differs in certain respects, from the calculation of consolidated con·sol·i·date  
v. con·sol·i·dat·ed, con·sol·i·dat·ing, con·sol·i·dates

v.tr.
1. To unite into one system or whole; combine:
 net income pursuant to GAAP. Saxon expects that consolidated GAAP net income may differ from REIT taxable income for many reasons, including the following:

--the provision for loan loss expense recognized for GAAP purposes is based upon the estimate of probable PROBABLE. That which has the appearance of truth; that which appears to be founded in reason.  loan losses inherent in the Company's existing portfolio of loans held for investment, for which the Company has not yet recorded a charge-off Eliminate or write off.

The term charge-off is used to describe the process of removing from the records of a company something that was once regarded as an asset but has subsequently become worthless.
 (tax accounting rules allow a deduction deduction, in logic, form of inference such that the conclusion must be true if the premises are true. For example, if we know that all men have two legs and that John is a man, it is then logical to deduce that John has two legs.  for loan losses only in the period when a charge-off occurs);

--there are several differences between GAAP and tax methodologies for capitalization capitalization n. 1) the act of counting anticipated earnings and expenses as capital assets (property, equipment, fixtures) for accounting purposes. 2) the amount of anticipated net earnings which hypothetically can be used for conversion into capital assets.  of mortgage loan origination expenses;

--there are differences between GAAP and tax related to the timing of recognition of income (loss) from derivative instruments; and

--income of a taxable REIT subsidiary is generally included in the REIT's earnings for consolidated GAAP purposes, but is not recognized in REIT taxable income.

Management believes that the presentation of estimated REIT taxable income provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's estimated annual distributions to its investors. The presentation of estimated REIT taxable income is not to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

                          Saxon Capital, Inc.
               Schedule B - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
                   and Regulation G Reconciliations


    Core net interest income and margin, securitization net losses on
liquidated loans, Company defined working capital, total net cost to
produce, and cost to service are non-GAAP financial measures of
Saxon's earnings within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Core net interest income is net interest income adjusted to
        include net cash settlements received or paid on derivative
        instruments.

        Core net interest income margin is core net interest income
        divided by average interest earning assets. Average interest
        earning assets are calculated using a daily average balance
        over the time period indicated.

        Securitization net losses on liquidated loans are losses
        recorded by the securitization trust at the time a REO loan is
        sold. GAAP requires losses to be recognized immediately upon a
        loan being transferred to REO.

        Company Defined Working Capital is generally calculated as
        unrestricted cash and investments as well as unencumbered
        assets that can be pledged against existing committed
        facilities and converted to cash in five days or less.

        Total net cost to produce is total production expenses, which
        include payroll and related expense and general and
        administrative expense attributable to our production segment,
        plus deferred capitalized costs and premiums paid, net of fees
        collected, divided by loan production. Capitalized expenses
        are origination expenses that are capitalized pursuant to FASB
        91. Fees collected and premium are capitalized and recorded on
        balance sheet as components of net mortgage loan portfolio.

        Cost to service is total servicing related expenses, which
        include payroll and related expenses and general and
        administrative expenses, divided by the daily weighted average
        of the total servicing portfolio.

    Management believes the core financial measures are useful because
they include the current period effects of Saxon's economic hedging
program but exclude the mark to market derivative value changes. Saxon
uses interest rate swaps, caps, futures and option agreements to
create economic hedges of the variable rate debt it issues to finance
its mortgage loan portfolio. Changes in the fair value of these
derivatives, which reflect the potential future cash settlements over
the remaining lives of the agreements according to the market's
changing projections of interest rates, are recognized in the line
item "Derivative gains (losses)" on the consolidated statements of
operations. This single line item includes both the actual cash
settlements related to the derivatives that occurred during the period
and recognition of the changes in the fair value of the agreements
over the period. The actual cash settlements include regular monthly
payments or receipts under the terms of the agreements and amounts
paid or received to terminate the agreements prior to maturity.

    The amounts of net cash settlements and changes in derivative
value that were included in the line item "Derivative gains (losses)"
were:

                     Regulation G Reconciliation -
             Securitization Net Losses on Liquidated Loans


    Management believes that it is meaningful to show securitization
net losses on liquidated loans and charge-offs as measures of losses
since it is a widely accepted industry practice to evaluate
securitization net losses on liquidated loans and the information is
provided on a monthly basis to the investors in each securitization.
GAAP requires losses to be recognized immediately upon a loan being
transferred to REO, whereas securitization net losses on liquidated
loans do not recognize a loss on REO until the loan is sold. This
causes a timing difference between charge-offs and securitization net
losses on liquidated loans. In addition, securitization net losses on
liquidated loans exclude losses resulting from delinquent loan sales.

             Regulation G Reconciliation - Working Capital


    Management uses its internally derived working capital measure
because the Company does not have a classified balance sheet.
Management believes that this working capital calculation provides a
better indication of the Company's liquidity available to conduct
business at the time of calculation.
