Consequently, the entire portfolio is recorded at market value. Fixed rate mortgage-backed securities comprised approximately 28% of the Company's portfolio at March 31, 2001. The balance of the portfolio was comprised of 55% adjustable rate mortgages and 17% LIBOR floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations. The Company has continued to avoid the introduction of credit risk in its portfolio. As of March 31, 2001, all of the assets in the Company's portfolio were FNMA, GNMA or FHLMC securities, which carry an implied "AAA" rating. No derivatives, interest rate swaps, swaptions, options, currency swaps, total rate of return swaps were acquired. As of March 31, 2001, all assets in the portfolio were REIT eligible assets. We increased our earnings per share by 36% from the fourth quarter of 2000, while increasing book value per share by 5%. We were able to use the inflow of equity to effectively grow the balance sheet of the Company and ultimately increase distributions to stockholders. In addition to the inflow of capital, favorable interest spreads allowed us to increase net interest income. General and administrative expenses also declined as a percentage of average assets. Due to the larger asset base, we were able to take advantage of economies of scale. The Company is a Maryland corporation which owns and manages a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities. The Company's principal business objective is to generate net income for distribution to stockholders from the spread between the interest income on its mortgage-backed securities and the costs of borrowing to finance its acquisition of mortgage-backed securities. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and currently has 25,701,458 shares of common stock outstanding. The Company will hold the quarterly earnings conference call Monday April 16, 2001 at 11:30 a.m. EST. The number to call is 1-800-388-8975.
