New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. — April 3, 2006 — (NYSE: NTR) (“NYMT” or the “Company”) announced today the completion on March 30, 2006 of its first loan securitization transaction in 2006. The securitization is comprised of approximately $274.6 million of certificates issued by New York Mortgage Trust 2006-1 (the “Trust”). The certificates are backed by high-credit quality, first-lien, adjustable rate and hybrid adjustable rate mortgage loans (collectively “ARM” loans), 24% of which were self-originated through the Company’s mortgage banking subsidiary, The New York Mortgage Company, LLC.

The approximate amount of each class of certificates, together with the interest rate and credit ratings for each class as rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, are set forth below:

Class	Approximate Principal Amount	Approximate Interest Rate	Rating
1-A-1 2-A-1 2-A-2 2-A-3 2-A-4 3-A-1 B-1 B-2 B-3 A-R	$6,725,900 $148,906,000 $20,143,000 $65,756,000 $9,275,000 $16,055,000 $3,746,000 $2,497,000 $1,525,000 $100	5.648% 5.673% 5.673% 5.673% 5.673% 5.855% 5.683% 5.683% 5.683% 5.648%	Aaa/AAA Aaa/AAA Aaa/AAA Aaa/AAA Aa1/AAA Aaa/AAA Aa2/AA A2/A Baa2/BBB Aaa/AAA

U.S. Bank National Association will serve as trustee. NYMT Securities Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYMT, deposited the loans in the trust which issued the certificates. For federal income tax purposes, the trustee will elect to treat all or a portion of the assets of the trust funds as comprising multiple real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).

The weighted average loan-to-value of the mortgage loans in the Trust is approximately 69.67% and the weighted average FICO score is approximately 740. The weighted average current loan rate of the pool of mortgage loans is approximately 5.92% and the weighted average maximum loan rate (after periodic rate resets) is 11.13%.

J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. served as underwriter for the transaction.
