Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On October 27, 2006, Fieldstone Mortgage Investment Corporation ("FMIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fieldstone Investment Corporation (the "Company"), closed a securitization and the related offering of approximately $833 million of notes by Fieldstone Mortgage Investment Trust, Series 2006-3 (the "Trust"). The securitization involved the issuance of five classes of senior notes and ten classes of subordinated notes. The Company retained the Class M10 notes, which represent approximately $9.4 million in principal amount. The securitization is structured as an on-balance sheet financing. The notes not retained by the Company are treated as debt for both tax and financial reporting purposes. All of the notes represent obligations of the Trust.

The securitization features credit enhancement in the form of excess interest (including net swap receipts received from the swap counterparty under interest rate swap agreements), overcollateralization, subordination and limited cross-collateralization. The initial level of overcollateralization for the notes is approximately $26.2 million, or approximately 3.05% of the aggregate balance of the mortgage loans on October 1, 2006. In addition, the Company has made certain representations and warranties concerning the mortgage loans securing the notes. In the event of a breach of a representation or warranty with respect to a mortgage loan, the Company may be required either to repurchase such mortgage loan from the Trust or, under certain circumstances, to substitute a mortgage loan having characteristics substantially similar to the mortgage loan subject to the breach of the representation or warranty.

A copy of the press release announcing this securitization transaction is included as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
