FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws including, but not limited to (i) statements regarding the expected building of Fieldstone’s portfolio and origination business in 2006 and 2007; (ii) the expected achievement of targeted leveraged returns on new loans; (iii) the decision to retain fewer loans originated in the fourth quarter of 2006 in its investment portfolio, (iv) expectations regarding its funding levels, cost to produce, and initiatives on origination growth and cost management; (v) initiatives designed to mitigate portfolio delinquencies and losses and the results of those initiatives, (vi) expectations regarding its competitive position, (vii) opinions with respect to maintenance of its liquidity position, (viii) statements regarding market condition and opportunity, and (ix) management’s guidance on 4th quarter dividends. These statements are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Fieldstone’s ability to control or predict, including but not limited to (i) Fieldstone’s ability to successfully implement or change aspects of its portfolio strategy; (ii) interest rate volatility and the level of interest rates generally; (iii) the sustainability of loan origination volumes and levels of origination costs; (iv) continued availability of credit facilities for the liquidity Fieldstone needs to support its origination of mortgage loans; (v) the ability to sell or securitize mortgage loans on favorable economic terms; (vi) deterioration in the credit quality of Fieldstone’s loan portfolio; (vii) the nature and amount of competition; (viii) the impact of changes to the fair value of Fieldstone’s interest rate swaps on its net income, which will vary based upon changes in interest rates and could cause net income to vary significantly from quarter to quarter; and (ix) other risks and uncertainties outlined in Fieldstone Investment Corporation’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained in the presentation materials is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company’s SEC filings and other public announcements that the Company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. These statements are made as of the date of this presentation, or as otherwise indicated, and Fieldstone undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

REGULATION G DISCLOSURES

Information on core net income, core earnings per share, core net interest income after provision, and REIT taxable income appearing elsewhere in this presentation may fall under the SEC’s definition of “non-GAAP financial measures.” Management believes the core financial measures are useful because they include the current period effects of Fieldstone’s economic hedging program but exclude the non-cash mark to market derivative value changes. The portion of the non-cash mark to market amounts excluded from the core financial measures, that ultimately will be a component of future core financial measures, depends on the level of actual interest rates in the future. Management believes the presentation of REIT taxable income provides useful information to investors regarding the annual distribution to Fieldstone’s investors. As required by Regulation G, a reconciliation of each of these core financial measures to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP is included in this presentation.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Financial information in this presentation presents the results of Fieldstone’s previous conforming origination business as a discontinued operation, following the sale in the first quarter of 2006 of the assets related to that business. Fieldstone’s continuing operations include its Investment Portfolio, Wholesale, Retail, and Corporate segments. With the exception of net income and core net income, the results of operations discussed in this presentation do not include the results of the discontinued operations, unless otherwise indicated.

Strategic Summary

Fieldstone’s Business Proposition

Vertically integrated origination of and investment in residential mortgages

Complete dis-intermediation of the sector: pre-tax earnings direct to shareholders

Strong focus on loan quality, portfolio management and liquidity

Strategic Imperatives for Fieldstone in 2007

Lower cost to originate: in the origination branches and in the home office

Increased origination volume of non-prime, alt-A and full value loans

Improved delinquency and loss management of loans held for investment

Current Market Conditions

Intense competition for loans in a contracting mortgage market

Low sale margins will continue, and only low-cost originators can profit on sale of loans

Slower Home Price Appreciation will:

increase delinquencies of borrowers that needed appreciation to afford their homes

increase opportunities for purchasers to afford to buy homes

Consolidation of mortgage origination capacity by largest financial service institutions

Market Opportunity

Strong economy, job growth and aging and growing population remain positive for home prices

Attractive, risk-adjusted returns continue to be available on leveraged investments in non-prime loans

Non-prime and alt-A market share will increase due to continued growth of consumer debt

Difficult market conditions will eliminate competition from poorly capitalized participants

The most sophisticated participants in the residential market are buying origination capacity

Current Market Conditions

Mortgage originators under significant pressure

Intense competition for loans in a contracting mortgage market

Increased levels of early payment defaults and repurchase requests

Continued imperative to lower costs requires significant investments in systems

Volatile interest markets make hedging more difficult

Seasonal slowing is compounded by firms “for-sale” driving volume with low rates

Increased delinquencies for recent non-conforming credit borrowers generally

Slower home price appreciation reduces the ability of borrowers to refinance

Lack of equity appreciation in recent vintage loans means more will roll to REO

Speculative buying in 2003 to 2006 will result in higher delinquencies and losses

Delinquencies and losses on 2005 and 2006 loans higher than for 2002 thru 2004 loans, up to historic levels experienced on loans originated prior to 2002

Home Price Appreciation is expected to continue to be slow nationally

Risk highest for investor loans and for largest loans with least demand

Incentives for speculative buying have been wrung out of the market

Markets that never over-heated should continue steady price increases

Median and lower priced primary residences will hold value for the homeowner

8


LOGO

 

Market Opportunity

Origination growth positive over the long term

Rising consumer debt will drive demand for non-prime and Alt-A products

Aging and growing population will support home price appreciation

Challenging market will eliminate poorly capitalized originators

Sophisticated buyers continue to purchase origination capacity in residential markets

Positive total return opportunity in REIT investment portfolio

Life-of-Pool risk-adjusted returns on new loans still attractive

Forward rates, losses, prepayments and expenses modeled

Increased risk premiums for the sector will lower sale margins but improve risk-adjusted portfolio returns

Forward yield curve anticipates lower interest rates in the future

Positive longer term for housing, mortgage industry and borrower credit

Little impact on existing net interest spreads on loans held for investment due to swaps

Non-cash charge to income to reduce the carrying value of the swaps as rates fall

Fieldstone’s Third Quarter 2006 Results

Fieldstone posted a $45 million GAAP loss for the third quarter of 2006, because:

Gain on Sale margins were lower

Portfolio net interest margin was lower

Operating costs were flat

Expected portfolio losses were sharply higher

Interest rate swaps’ mark-to-market was significantly lower

At September 30, 2006, after this loss, Fieldstone still had:

$423 million of Shareholders’ equity, $9.03 per share

$181 million of liquidity

Fieldstone’s 3Q ‘06 operating loss included $53 million of non-cash reserves:

$28 million for potential future losses, based on higher current portfolio delinquencies

$25 million for mark-to-market declines in the value of interest rate swap agreements

The 3Q results were disappointing, however:

Fieldstone is working to reduce the delinquencies of loans in its portfolio, with a goal that the actual losses be less than the amounts reserved

The mark-to-market decline in the market value of the swap agreements reflects lower expected interest rates, which generally is positive for Fieldstone and its borrowers, not a reduction in the economic yield of the portfolio

FIELDSTONE INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Regulation G Reconciliations

 

Core net income, core earnings per share, core net interest income, and REIT taxable income are non-GAAP financial measures of Fieldstone’s earnings within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Core net income is net income less the non-cash mark to market gains (losses) on interest rate swap and cap agreements and the amortization of interest rate swap buydown payments.

 

Core earnings per share is core net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

Core net interest income after provision for loan losses is net interest income after provision for loan losses adjusted to include (a) the net cash settlements on the existing interest rate swaps and caps economically hedging the variable rate debt financing Fieldstone’s investment portfolio, (b) the net cash settlements to terminate these derivatives prior to maturity and (c) the amortization of interest rate swap buydown payments. Core net interest income after provision for loan losses does not include the net cash settlements incurred or paid to terminate swaps or caps related to loans ultimately sold, which are a component of “Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net” in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

REIT taxable income is consolidated GAAP pre-tax net income plus (a) provision for loan losses in excess of actual charge-offs and (b) variance in recognition of net origination expenses, less (c) taxable REIT subsidiary pre-tax net (income) loss, and (d) mark to market valuation changes on derivatives.

 

Management believes the core financial measures are useful to investors because they include the current period effects of Fieldstone’s economic hedging program but exclude the non-cash mark to market derivative value changes and the amortization of swap buydown payments. Fieldstone uses interest rate swap and cap agreements to create economic hedges of the variable rate debt it issues to finance its investment portfolio. Changes in the fair value of these agreements, 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 “Other income (expense) – portfolio derivatives” on the consolidated statements of operations. This single line item includes both the actual cash settlements related to the agreements that occurred during the period and recognition of the non-cash 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 swap agreements and amounts paid or received to terminate the agreements prior to maturity.

 

Management believes that the presentation of REIT taxable income provides useful information to investors regarding the estimated annual distributions to our investors.

 

As required by Regulation G, a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP is provided below.
