ARMOUR expenses premium amortization monthly as it occurs.
Constant Prepayment Rate ("CPR") is the annualized equivalent of single monthly mortality ("SMM"). CPR attempts to predict the percentage
of principal that will prepay over the next twelve months based on historical principal pay downs.
CPR is reported on the 4th business day of the month for the previous month's prepayment activity.
