Exhibit 31.2
CERTIFICATIONS
I, G. Hunter Haas, certify that:
 
 
1.
 
I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Orchid Island Capital, Inc.
 
(the "registrant");
 
 
2.
 
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
 
material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
 
under which such
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
 
by this report;
 
 
3.
 
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
 
information included in this report, fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations
 
and cash flows of the registrant as
of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
 
 
4.
 
The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining
 
disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
 
internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
 
registrant and have:
 
 
 
a)
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
 
controls and procedures to
be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to
 
the registrant, including
its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
 
during the
period in which this report is being prepared;
 
 
 
b)
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal
 
control over financial
reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
 
regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
 
in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles;
 
 
c)
evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and
 
presented in this
report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
 
of the end of
the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
 
 
 
d)
disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial
 
reporting that occurred
during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the
 
case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting; and
 
 
5.
 
The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent
 
evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
 
of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing equivalent functions):
 
 
 
 
a)
all significant deficiencies and material weakness in the design or operation
 
of internal control over financial
reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and
 
 
b)
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
 
who have a significant
role in the registrant's internal control over financial
 
reporting.
