Financial Summary

The Company’s portfolio of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) was $14.2 billion as of December 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.1 billion from September 30, 2011.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, average earning assets were $14.0 billion representing an increase of $0.7 billion from September 30, 2011.  The portfolio generated interest income of $137.5 million which was down $0.8 million from September 30, 2011.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company had average borrowings of approximately $12.1billion and interest expense including cost of hedging of $55.0million, compared to $11.5 billion and $50.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2011.  The increase in average borrowed funds was primarily the result of our portfolio realignment in the fourth quarter which placed a higher concentration of assets in agency RMBS.  Interest expense increased as the last of our previously purchased forward-starting swaps began to pay and increased funding rates on our credit assets.  Our average cost of funds was 1.81%and 1.76% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of 2011, respectively.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 totalled $9.6 million compared to $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2011.  The ratio of operating expenses to average equity in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 0.12% to 2.01%.

Constant Prepayment Rates (CPR)

The CPR of our portfolio impacts the amount of premium and discount on the purchase of securities that is recognized into income. The following table shows the three month CPR for our RMBS compared to bonds with similar characteristics (“Cohorts”):

	December 31, 2011		September 30, 2011
	Company	Cohort	Company	Cohort
15 year Agency RMBS	11.2	25.6	9.1	20.5
30 year Agency RMBS	12.1	20.6	9.8	16.2
Agency Hybrid ARM RMBS	19.4	NA	14.9	N/A
Non-Agency RMBS (1)	14.8	NA	8.1	N/A
Overall	13.3	NA	8.7	N/A
(1)For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the calculation of CPR for Non-Agency RMBS has been modified to reflect voluntary prepayments and recoveries upon default and is adjusted for the effect of additional subordination on Re-REMIC Senior investments.  If the same calculation were to be applied for the three months ended September 30, 2011, the non-Agency RMBS CPR would have been 17.7 and the overall CPR would have been 12.4.
