See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. -5- CAPSTEAD MORTGAGE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 -- BUSINESS Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead" or the "Company") operates as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") earning income from investing in real estate-related assets on a leveraged basis and from other investment strategies. These investments currently include, but are not limited to, single-family residential adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") securities issued by government-sponsored entities, either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae ("Agency Securities"). Capstead has also made limited investments in credit-sensitive commercial real estate-related assets, including the direct ownership of real estate. Management believes that such investments, when available at favorable prices and combined with the prudent use of leverage, can produce attractive returns over the long term with less sensitivity to changes in interest rates due largely to a higher risk of default and reduced liquidity compared to fixed-rate and medium-term Agency Securities. Capstead's investment portfolios declined the last several years primarily because of high levels of mortgage prepayments and a lack of suitable investment opportunities at favorable prices. Consequently, in 2001 and again in January 2003 (with the payment of the fourth quarter 2002 common dividend), Capstead returned a significant portion of its equity capital to its common stockholders. To the extent proceeds of runoff or asset sales are not reinvested, or cannot be reinvested, at a rate of return at least equal to the rate previously earned on that capital, quarterly earnings and common dividends may continue trending lower. The future size and composition of Capstead's investment portfolios will depend on market conditions, including levels of mortgage prepayments and the availability on a timely basis of suitable investments at favorable prices. NOTE 2 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2003. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Compensation cost for stock-based awards for employees and directors is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount to be paid to acquire the stock and is recognized in Other operating expense as the awards vest and restrictions lapse (the "APB25 intrinsic value method"). If the alternative fair value methodology included in Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" were followed, reported net income would have been lower by less than $25,000 per quarter, representing a zero to one cent impact on reported net income per common share for the periods presented. -6- RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. NOTE 3 -- NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred share dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred share dividends for antidilutive convertible preferred shares, if any, by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, giving effect to dilutive stock options and dilutive convertible preferred shares. For dilutive net income per share purposes, the Series A and B preferred shares are considered dilutive whenever annualized basic net income per share exceeds each Series' annualized dividend divided by the conversion rate applicable for that period. The components of the computation of basic and diluted net income per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

* The increase in net effect of dilutive preferred shares reflects, on a weighted average basis, changes in preferred share conversion rates resulting from the payment of common dividends in excess of net income available to common stockholders. Current conversion rates are 1.4818 common shares for each Preferred A share and 0.5708 common shares for each Preferred B share converted. It remains uneconomical to convert the Series B preferred shares at current market prices of the common and Series B preferred shares. NOTE 4 -- MORTGAGE SECURITIES AND SIMILAR INVESTMENTS The Company classifies its mortgage securities and similar investments by collateral type and interest rate characteristics. Agency Securities are AAA-rated and are considered to have limited credit risk. Non-agency securities consist of private mortgage pass-through securities backed primarily by single-family residential mortgage loans whereby the related credit risk of the underlying loans is either borne by AAA-rated private mortgage insurers or by the Company ("Non-agency Securities"). Commercial mortgage securitizations generally have senior, mezzanine and subordinate classes of bonds with the lower bond classes providing credit enhancement to the more senior classes. Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") held by the Company as of September 30, 2003 are mezzanine classes and therefore carry credit risk associated with the underlying pools of commercial mortgage loans that is mitigated by -7- subordinate bonds held by other investors. Commercial loans held by the Company as of September 30, 2003 consist of a loan to a joint venture that holds commercial real estate. The maturity of mortgage securities is directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the underlying loans. Fixed-rate investments have fixed rates of interest and initial expected weighted average lives of greater than five years. Adjustable-rate investments have interest rates that adjust at least annually to more current interest rates. For instance, mortgage loans underlying ARM securities either (i) adjust annually based on a specified margin over the one-year Constant Maturity U.S. Treasury Note Rate ("One-year CMT"), (ii) adjust semiannually based on a specified margin over the six-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or (iii) adjust monthly based on a specific margin over an index such as LIBOR or the Cost of Funds Index as published by the Eleventh District Federal Reserve Bank ("COFI"). In addition, the terms of most ARM loans limit the amount of such adjustments during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the life of the loan. CMBS and commercial loans held as of September 30, 2003 adjust monthly based on a specified margin over 30-day LIBOR. Mortgage securities and similar investments and the related average effective interest rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Average Yield is presented for the quarter then ended, calculated including amortization of premiums (discounts), mortgage insurance costs on Non-agency Securities and excluding unrealized gains and losses. (c) As of the indicated dates, these portfolios consisted nearly exclusively of adjustable-rate investments. -8- In connection with the formation of private mortgage pass-through securities prior to 1995, the Company was required to establish reserve funds available to pay special hazard (e.g. earthquake or mudslide-related losses) or certain bankruptcy costs. The private mortgage pass-through securities were subsequently held as Non-agency Securities, pledged as CMO collateral or sold to third parties. As of September 30, 2003, included in Receivables and other assets as restricted cash are $4.9 million in special hazard reserve funds and $1.2 million of bankruptcy reserve funds associated with $55 million and $57 million of loans outstanding, respectively. NOTE 5 -- CMO COLLATERAL AND INVESTMENTS CMO collateral consists of primarily fixed-rate mortgage securities collateralized by single-family residential mortgage loans and related short-term investments, both pledged to secure CMO borrowings ("Pledged CMO Collateral"). All principal and interest on pledged mortgage securities is remitted directly to collection accounts maintained by a trustee. The trustee is responsible for reinvesting those funds in short-term investments. All collections on the pledged mortgage securities and the reinvestment income earned thereon are available for the payment of principal and interest on CMO borrowings. The components of CMO collateral and investments were as follows (in thousands):
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 DECEMBER 31, 2002 ------------------ ----------------- Pledged CMO Collateral: Pledged mortgage securities $ 237,269 $1,066,734 Accrued interest receivable 1,515 6,325 ---------- ---------- 238,784 1,073,059 Unamortized premium 1,744 8,571 ---------- ---------- 240,528 1,081,630 CMO investments -- 1,791 ---------- ---------- $ 240,528 $1,083,421 ========== ==========
Pledged mortgage securities are private mortgage pass-through securities whereby the related credit risk of the underlying loans is borne by AAA-rated private mortgage insurers or subordinated bonds within the related CMO series to which the collateral is pledged. With recent redemptions of previously-issued CMO series, the Company no longer has credit risk held in the form of subordinate bonds associated with Pledged CMO Collateral. The weighted average yield for Pledged CMO Collateral was 5.99% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. NOTE 6 -- REAL ESTATE HELD FOR LEASE In May 2002 Capstead acquired six "independent" senior living facilities (wherein the operator of the facility provides the tenants little, if any, medical care) (the "Properties"). Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into a long-term "net-lease" arrangement with Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Brookdale"), under which Brookdale is responsible for the ongoing operation and management of the Properties. Brookdale, an owner, operator, developer and manager of senior living facilities, is a majority-owned affiliate of Fortress Investment Group, LLC (see NOTE 14). The net-lease arrangement with Brookdale consists of a master lease covering all of the Properties and individual property-level leases (referred to collectively as the "Lease"). The Lease has an initial term of 20 years and provides for two 10-year renewal periods. Beginning in May 2007, Brookdale will have the option of purchasing all of the Properties from Capstead at the greater of fair value or Capstead's original cost, after certain adjustments. Under the terms of the Lease, Brookdale is responsible for paying all expenses associated with the operation of the Properties, including real estate taxes, other governmental charges, insurance, utilities and maintenance, and an amount representing an attractive cash return on -9- Capstead's equity in the Properties after payment of monthly debt service. Because under the terms of the Lease Brookdale is responsible for changes in related debt service requirements, earnings from the Company's investment in net-leased real estate are generally not affected by changes in interest rates. Included in Receivables and other assets at September 30, 2003 are $3.2 million in unamortized rent abatements and $1.5 million of other rent receivables due from Brookdale. The components of real estate held for lease were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7 -- REPURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS AND SIMILAR BORROWINGS Repurchase arrangements and similar borrowings, classified by type of collateral, maturities and related weighted average interest rates for the dates indicated, were as follows (dollars in thousands):
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 DECEMBER 31, 2002 ---------------------------- ----------------------------- BORROWINGS AVERAGE BORROWINGS AVERAGE OUTSTANDING RATE OUTSTANDING RATE --------------- --------- ------------- ----------- Repurchase arrangements: Agency Securities (less than 31 days) $1,721,332 1.00% $1,980,050 1.34% Non-agency Securities (less than 31 days) 178,548 1.52 37,677 1.47 CMBS (31 to 90 days) 68,274 1.30 98,184 1.62 ---------- ---------- 1,968,154 1.06 2,115,911 1.36 Commercial bank borrowings 26,235 3.63 29,745 3.91 ---------- ---------- $1,994,389 1.09 $2,145,656 1.39 ========== ==========
Borrowings made under uncommitted repurchase arrangements with investment banking firms pursuant to which the Company pledges Agency and Non-agency Securities as collateral generally have maturities of less than 31 days. Repurchase arrangements with CMBS pledged as collateral generally have longer initial maturities and may feature renewal options. Commercial bank borrowings at September 30, 2003 consist of an adjustable-rate loan that matures in January 2005 secured by a commercial loan investment. The terms and conditions of repurchase arrangements and similar borrowings are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The weighted average effective interest rate on repurchase arrangements and similar borrowings was 1.13% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. NOTE 8 -- CMO BORROWINGS Each series of CMOs issued consists of various classes of bonds, most of which have fixed rates of interest. Interest is payable monthly at specified rates for all classes. Typically, principal payments on each series are made to each class in the order of their stated maturities so that no payment of principal is made on any class of bonds until all classes having an earlier stated maturity have been paid in full. The maturity of each CMO series is directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the related Pledged CMO Collateral. Each series is also subject to redemption provided that certain requirements specified in the related indenture have been met (referred to as "Clean-up Calls"); therefore, the actual maturity of any series is likely to occur earlier than its stated maturity.

Mortgage borrowings consist of a fixed-rate mortgage secured by one senior living facility that matures in 2009. The tax-exempt bonds are credit-enhanced by Fannie Mae and secured by mortgages on the remaining five senior living facilities. Interest rates on the bonds adjust weekly based on the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index ("BMA Index"). Interest rate cap agreements with notional amounts aggregating $100.8 million, five-year terms and cap rates equal to a 6% BMA Index are held to provide funds to pay interest on the bonds in excess of a 6% BMA Index, should that occur. The interest rate cap agreements were valued at $403,000 at September 30, 2003 and included in Receivables and other assets. Monthly principal and interest rate cap reserve fund payments are made to the trustee for the eventual retirement of the bonds by 2032 and the purchase of new cap agreements in 2007. In connection with the issuance of the bonds in November 2002, Capstead placed into escrow with the trustee reserves for repairs and replacements totaling $2.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the trustee released $1.5 million of these funds. Another $6.0 million is held by the trustee in connection with Capstead posting a $6.0 million letter of credit from a rated financial institution to collateralize certain of the bonds. These funds, along with $1.0 million of principal and interest rate cap reserve funds, are included in Receivables and other assets as restricted cash. Also included in Receivables and other assets are $3.3 million in bond issue costs. The weighted average effective interest rate for all borrowings secured by real estate (calculated including bond issue cost amortization) was 3.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. -11- NOTE 10 -- DISCLOSURES REGARDING FAIR VALUES OF DEBT SECURITIES Estimated fair values of debt securities have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop these estimates. In addition, fair values fluctuate on a daily basis. Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. The fair value of Agency Securities, Non-agency Securities and CMBS were estimated using either (i) quoted market prices when available, including quotes made by lenders in connection with designating collateral for repurchase arrangements, or (ii) offer prices for similar assets or market positions. The fair value of Pledged CMO Collateral was based on projected cash flows, after payment on the related CMOs, determined using market discount rates and prepayment assumptions. The maturity of mortgage assets is directly affected by the rate of principal payments on the underlying mortgage loans and, for Pledged CMO Collateral, Clean-up Calls of the remaining CMOs outstanding. Commercial loans and other investments not held in the form of debt or equity securities are excluded from these disclosures.

NOTE 13 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES During 1998, twenty-four purported class action lawsuits were filed against Capstead and certain of its officers alleging, among other things, that the defendants violated federal securities laws by publicly issuing false and misleading statements and omitting disclosure of material adverse information regarding the Company's business. After these actions were consolidated and the court appointed a lead plaintiff group, an amended complaint was filed in October 2000. The amended complaint claims that as a result of alleged improper actions, the market prices of the Company's equity securities were artificially inflated during the period between April 17, 1997 and June 26, 1998 and seeks monetary damages in an undetermined amount. In February 2001, the Company and named officers responded to this amended complaint with motions to dismiss all allegations against the Company and the named officers. By order dated March 31, 2003, the court granted the Company and named officers' motions to dismiss and entered an order dismissing the amended complaint and denying the plaintiffs' request to further amend their complaint. In early November 2003, the plaintiff's opportunity to appeal this dismissal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals passed. With the dismissal of this case without appeal, the Company expects to recover from its insurance carrier a $500,000 deductible originally expensed in 1998 and 1999. This recovery will be recorded in Other Revenue when received. NOTE 14 -- TRANSACTIONS WITH FORMER AFFILIATES Fortress Investment Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, "Fortress") was Capstead's largest stockholder, holding approximately 26% of the outstanding common shares as recently as December 31, 2002. Since year-end, Fortress has sold its investment in Capstead. Pursuant to a management contract entered into in April 2000, Fortress provided the services of Mr. Wesley R. Edens as Capstead's chairman and chief executive and of other individuals as necessary to perform support services for Mr. Edens. On July 22, 2003 Mr. Edens resigned from his position with Capstead and the management contract with Fortress was terminated. Under the terms of the contract, Fortress was entitled to a $375,000 base annual fee and participated with management in an incentive fee program based on the Company's expected performance against predetermined benchmarks established by members of the Board of Directors independent of Fortress. Included in Other operating expense is $210,000 of base fees paid to Fortress for services rendered through July 22, 2003. In addition, Fortress was awarded $500,000 of incentive fees from amounts accrued through that date under this program. See NOTE 6 for information regarding Fortress' involvement through its affiliate Brookdale in the acquisition and long-term leasing of senior living facilities acquired by Capstead in 2002. -15- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead" or the "Company") operates as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") earning income from investing in real estate-related assets on a leveraged basis and from other investment strategies. These investments currently include, but are not limited to, single-family residential adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") securities issued by government-sponsored entities, either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae ("Agency Securities"). The Company has also made limited investments in credit-sensitive commercial real estate-related assets, including the direct ownership of real estate. Management believes that such investments, when available at favorable prices and combined with the prudent use of leverage, can produce attractive returns over the long term with less sensitivity to changes in interest rates due largely to a higher risk of default and reduced liquidity compared to fixed-rate or medium-term Agency Securities. Capstead's investment portfolios declined the last several years primarily because of high levels of mortgage prepayments and a lack of suitable investment opportunities at favorable prices. Consequently, in 2001 and again in January 2003 (with the payment of the fourth quarter 2002 common dividend), Capstead returned a significant portion of its equity capital to its common stockholders. To the extent proceeds of runoff or asset sales are not reinvested, or cannot be reinvested, at a rate of return at least equal to the rate previously earned on that capital, quarterly earnings and common dividends will likely continue trending lower. The future size and composition of Capstead's investment portfolios will depend on market conditions, including levels of mortgage prepayments and the availability on a timely basis of suitable investments at favorable prices (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes," "Risks Associated with Credit-Sensitive Investments" and "Risks Associated with Owning Real Estate"). MANAGEMENT CHANGES Fortress Investment Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, "Fortress") was Capstead's largest stockholder, holding approximately 26% of the outstanding common shares as recently as December 31, 2002. By July 2003, Fortress sold its investment in Capstead. Pursuant to a management contract entered into in April 2000, Fortress provided the services of Mr. Wesley R. Edens as Capstead's chairman and chief executive and of other individuals as necessary to perform support services for Mr. Edens. On July 22, 2003 Mr. Edens resigned from his positions with Capstead and the management contract with Fortress was terminated. Robert I. Kauffman, an associate of Mr. Edens and a director since December 1999, also resigned effective July 22, 2003. Paul M. Low, one of Capstead's founders and a long-time member of the Board of Directors, succeeded Mr. Edens as Chairman. Andrew F. Jacobs, formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was promoted to Chief Executive Officer and President and elected to serve on the Board of Directors. Phillip A. Reinsch, Senior Vice President -- Control, was promoted to Chief Financial Officer. BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE As of September 30, 2003, the Company's book value per common share was $7.05, a decline of $0.78 during the current quarter and $1.18 since December 31, 2002. Book value declined since year-end because of dividend payments in excess of quarterly net income (approximately $0.16 per share) and, more significantly, a reduction in the aggregate unrealized gain on the Company's investments (most of which are debt securities carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in stockholders' -16- equity) as a result of recent increases in interest rates and runoff caused by mortgage prepayments. This unrealized gain can be expected to continue to decline with runoff and to fluctuate with changes in interest rates and market liquidity, and such changes will largely be reflected in book value per common share. Book value will also be affected by other factors, including the level of dividend distributions and depreciation charges on net-leased real estate; however, temporary changes in fair values of investments not held in the form of debt or equity securities generally will not affect book value. MORTGAGE SECURITIES AND SIMILAR INVESTMENTS As of September 30, 2003, mortgage securities and similar investments consisted primarily of ARM Agency Securities (see "NOTE 4" to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of how the Company classifies its mortgage securities and similar investments). Agency Securities are AAA-rated and are considered to have limited credit risk. Non-agency securities are private mortgage pass-through securities whereby the related credit risk of the underlying loans is either borne by AAA-rated private mortgage insurers or by the Company ("Non-agency Securities"). In connection with the formation of private mortgage pass-through securities prior to 1995, the Company was required to establish reserve funds available to pay special hazard (e.g. earthquake or mudslide-related losses) or certain bankruptcy costs. These securities were subsequently held as Non-agency Securities, CMO collateral or sold to third parties. Included in Receivables and other assets as restricted cash are $4.9 million in special hazard reserve funds and $1.2 million of bankruptcy reserve funds associated with $55 million and $57 million of related loans outstanding as of September 30, 2003, respectively. Commercial mortgage-backed securitizations generally have senior, mezzanine and subordinate classes of bonds with the lower classes providing credit enhancement to the more senior classes. Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") held by the Company at September 30, 2003 are mezzanine classes and therefore carry credit risk associated with the underlying pools of commercial mortgage loans that is mitigated by subordinate bonds held by other investors. Commercial loans held by the Company at September 30, 2003 consist of a loan to a joint venture that holds commercial real estate (see "Risks Associated With Credit-Sensitive Investments"). Mortgage securities are financed under repurchase arrangements with investment banking firms pursuant to which specific securities are pledged as collateral. Capstead financed its commercial loan investment with a loan from a commercial bank. Should the Company acquire additional financial assets that are not mortgage-backed securities, similar financing arrangements with other parties, such as commercial banks, may be employed (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). Runoff caused by mortgage prepayments remains a significant challenge to earnings generated by the Company's mortgage securities and similar investments. After experiencing portfolio declines to nearly $2.0 billion at June 30, 2003 from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2002, during the third quarter the Company had the opportunity to acquire $163 million in ARM Agency Securities at attractive prices after sharp increases in medium and long-term interest rates in July and August. In addition, during the third quarter Capstead transferred into this portfolio $121 million in fixed-rate collateral released from financed CMOs that the Company expects will earn improved financing spreads (the difference between yields earned on investments and the rates charged on related borrowings) than when financed by CMO bonds. Together, these additions more than offset third quarter runoff such that the portfolio ended the quarter at $2.1 billion. Prior to this third quarter activity, additions to this portfolio during 2003 were limited to $49 million of adjustable-rate collateral released from financed CMOs. Interest rates declined again in September and although management believes there may continue to be opportunities to acquire assets at attractive prices in the near future, such acquisitions may not be sufficient to replace runoff. That being said, runoff is expected to begin moderating in the fourth quarter as a higher interest rate environment has reduced, if not eliminated, the opportunity for homeowners to refinance their ARM loans into lower rate fixed-rate loans. To the extent the proceeds of mortgage -17- prepayments and other maturities are not reinvested or cannot be reinvested at a rate of return on invested capital at least equal to the return earned on previous investments, quarterly earnings and dividends may likely continue trending lower. The future size and composition of the Company's investment portfolios will depend on market conditions, including levels of mortgage prepayments and the availability of suitable investments at favorable prices (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). The following yield and cost analysis illustrates results achieved during the third quarter of 2003 for components of the mortgage securities and similar investments portfolio and anticipated fourth quarter 2003 asset yields and borrowing rates based on interest rates in effect on October 22, 2003 (the date third quarter 2003 results were released) (dollars in thousands):

(a) Basis represents the Company's investment before unrealized gains and losses. Actual asset yields, runoff rates, borrowing rates and resulting financing spread are presented on an annualized basis. (b) Projected annualized yields for the fourth quarter of 2003 reflect ARM coupon resets and lifetime prepayment assumptions as adjusted for expected prepayments for this quarter only, as of October 22, 2003. Actual yields realized in future periods will largely depend upon (i) changes in portfolio composition, (ii) ARM coupon resets, (iii) actual prepayments and (iv) any changes in lifetime prepayment assumptions. (c) The Company generally uses its liquidity to pay down borrowings. Return on assets is calculated on an annualized basis assuming the use of this liquidity to reduce borrowing costs (see "Utilization of Capital and Potential Liquidity"). The overall yield earned on the portfolio averaged 3.82% during the third quarter of 2003, a decline of 24 basis points from an average yield of 4.06% earned during the previous quarter and 83 basis points from the average yield earned during the fourth quarter of 2002. Yields on ARM securities fluctuate as coupon interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans reset to reflect current interest rates and are expected to continue to decline in the coming quarters. For example, if interest rates stabilize at rates in effect October 22, 2003, the average yield on the portfolio could decline approximately 38 basis points by the third quarter of 2004. Actual yields will depend on portfolio composition as well as fluctuations in, and market expectations for fluctuations in, interest rates and levels of mortgage prepayments (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). -18- Average rates on related borrowings were 1.13% during the third quarter of 2003, a decline of 17 basis points from the second quarter and 49 basis points from average borrowing rates incurred during the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company's borrowing rates depend on actions by the Federal Reserve to change short-term interest rates, market expectations of future changes in short-term interest rates and the extent of changes in financial market liquidity (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). CMO COLLATERAL AND INVESTMENTS Since exiting the residential mortgage loan conduit business in 1995, Capstead has maintained finance subsidiaries with capacity to issue CMOs and other securitizations backed by single-family residential mortgage loans. From time to time, the Company may purchase mortgage loans from originators or conduits, place these loans into private mortgage pass-through securities and issue CMOs or other securities backed by these securities. The Company may or may not retain a significant residual economic interest in these securitizations. Credit risk associated with pledged CMO collateral is borne by AAA-rated private mortgage insurers or by subordinated bonds usually sold to investors. With recent redemptions of previously-issued CMOs, the Company no longer has credit risk held in the form of subordinated bonds associated with outstanding pledged CMO collateral. Most of the Company's securitizations have been afforded financing accounting treatment with the related collateral recorded as pledged CMO collateral and the outstanding bonds recorded as CMO liabilities (referred to as "financed CMOs"). Other securitizations issued by the Company in 1993 and prior were treated as sales transactions (referred to as "sold CMOs"). Since 2000, the Company has not issued any CMOs. From time to time, the Company has exercised its right to redeem previously issued CMOs (referred to as "clean-up calls") and has either sold or transferred the released collateral to the Non-agency Securities portfolio where it has been held for investment. During the first nine months of 2003, the Company exercised clean-up calls related to ten financed CMOs and three sold CMOs. As of September 30, 2003, the Company holds clean-up call rights on two of its seven remaining financed CMOs. Consequently, additional significant gains from CMO redemptions are not expected to occur in the coming quarters. CMO collateral and investments, net of related bonds, declined from $8.6 million at year-end to $963,000 at September 30, 2003, as a result of portfolio runoff and exercising clean-up calls as discussed above. Without the issuance of CMOs in which the Company retains residual interests, or the acquisition of other CMO investments, this portfolio is not expected to contribute significantly to operating results in future periods. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR LEASE In May 2002 Capstead acquired six "independent" senior living properties (wherein the operator of the facility provides the tenants little, if any, medical care) (the "Properties"). The following table summarizes information about the Properties:
YEAR PROPERTY LOCATION UNITS (a) OCCUPANCY (b) OPENED --------------------------- ----------------- ------------------ ------------ --------- Chambrel at Roswell Roswell, GA 280 (256 IL; 24 AL) 95.7% 1987 Chambrel at Pinecastle Ocala, FL 161 (120 IL; 41 AL) 98.8 1987 Chambrel at Island Lake Longwood, FL 269 (229 IL; 40 AL) 97.4 1985 Chambrel at Montrose Akron, OH 168 (136 IL; 32 AL) 98.8 1987 Chambrel at Williamsburg Williamsburg, VA 255 (200 IL; 55 AL) 98.4 1987 Chambrel at Club Hill Garland, TX 260 (192 IL; 68 AL) 92.3 1987 ------------------------ Total 1,393 (1,133 IL; 260 AL) 96.6 ========================
(a) IL refers to Independent Living units, AL refers to Assisted Living units. (b) As of September 30, 2003. -19- Concurrent with the acquisition of the Properties, the Company entered into a long-term "net-lease" arrangement (the "Lease") with Brookdale Living Communities, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Brookdale"), under which Brookdale is responsible for the ongoing operation and management of the Properties. Brookdale, an owner, operator, developer and manager of senior living facilities, is a majority-owned affiliate of Fortress. The Lease has an initial term of 20 years and provides for two 10-year renewal periods. Beginning in May 2007, Brookdale will have the option of purchasing all of the Properties from Capstead at the greater of fair value or Capstead's original cost, after certain adjustments. Under the terms of the Lease, Brookdale is responsible for paying all expenses associated with operating the Properties, including real estate taxes, other government charges, insurance, utilities and maintenance, and an amount representing an attractive cash return on Capstead's equity in the Properties after payment of monthly debt service. In keeping with Capstead's strategy of reinvesting a portion of its capital into investments that can produce attractive returns over the long term with less sensitivity to changes in interest rates, any future changes in monthly debt service requirements are the responsibility of Brookdale under the terms of the Lease (see "Risks Associated with Owning Real Estate"). UTILIZATION OF CAPITAL AND POTENTIAL LIQUIDITY The following table illustrates Capstead's utilization of capital and potential liquidity as of September 30, 2003 in comparison with December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

(b) Represents unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. (c) The third quarter common dividend was declared September 11, 2003 and paid October 21, 2003 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2003. The Company generally finances its mortgage securities and similar investments with repurchase arrangements and similar borrowings. CMO collateral is pledged to secure CMO bonds. Real estate held for lease is financed by long-term borrowings. Liquidity is affected by, among other things, changes in market value of assets pledged under repurchase and similar borrowing arrangements, principal prepayments and general conditions in the investment banking, mortgage finance and real estate industries. Future levels of financial leverage will be dependent upon many factors, including the size and composition of the Company's investment portfolios (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). -20- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparative net operating results (interest income or lease revenue, net of related interest expense, real estate depreciation and, in the case of CMO administration, related direct and indirect operating expense) by source were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

* Capstead reports operating income per common share (a non-GAAP financial measure calculated excluding depreciation on real estate, gain on asset sales and CMO redemptions, and the dilutive effects of the Series B preferred share) under the belief it provides investors with a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. Depreciation on real estate, although an expense deductible for federal income tax purposes and therefore an item that reduces Capstead's REIT distribution requirements, is added back to arrive at operating income because it is a noncash expense. Gains are excluded because they are considered non-operating in nature and the amount and timing of any such gains are dependent upon market conditions. Operating income per common share excludes the dilutive effects of the Series B preferred shares because it is not economically advantageous to convert these shares at the current market prices of both the common shares and Series B preferred shares (see "Comparison of Operating Income and Diluted Income per Common Share"). The earning capacity of Capstead's financial asset portfolios is influenced by the overall size and composition of the portfolios, the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (the "yield curve") and the extent the Company continues to invest its liquidity in these portfolios. Net margins on financial assets and related financing spreads have declined steadily since peaking in early 2002 after having benefited from actions taken by the Federal Reserve during 2001 to aggressively lower short-term interest rates, which resulted in significantly lower interest rates on the Company's borrowings. However, lower interest rates have also led to declining yields on the Company's adjustable-rate assets -21- and, more significantly, declining portfolio balances primarily caused by relatively high mortgage prepayment rates. Net margins and spreads may continue declining as yields on the Company's ARM securities continue resetting lower, particularly if declines in portfolio balances because of scheduled principal payments, maturities and mortgage prepayments are not offset by acquisitions of new mortgage assets (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). Agency Securities remained the primary contributor to operating results during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003; however, the impact of lower yields and a significantly lower average outstanding portfolio was evident in current year results, which were significantly less than in the same periods in 2002 despite lower borrowing rates. Yields for this portfolio averaged 3.69% and 4.02% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to 4.99% and 5.32% during the same periods in 2002, while borrowing rates averaged 1.06% and 1.21% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 1.79% and 1.80% during the same periods in 2002. The average outstanding Agency Securities portfolio was $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $2.5 billion and $2.7 billion during the same periods in 2002. Non-agency Securities contributed more to operating results during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002 primarily because of the benefits of additional securities made available from the redemption of CMOs. The average outstanding portfolio was $200 million and $144 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $83 million and $88 million during the same periods in 2002. Yields for this portfolio (calculated including mortgage insurance costs) were lower averaging 4.68% and 4.45% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 5.25% and 5.71% during the same periods in 2002, while borrowing rates averaged 1.45% for both the current quarter and year-to-date periods compared to 1.87% and 1.92% during the same periods in 2002. CMBS and other commercial loans contributed less to operating results during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 than in the same periods in 2002 primarily because of a lower average outstanding portfolio with payoffs during 2003 of several positions held by the Company throughout all of last year. The average outstanding portfolio was $108 million and $120 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $199 million for both periods in 2002. The portfolio yielded 4.27% and 4.69% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 while borrowing rates averaged 1.95% and 2.06% producing financing spreads of 2.32% and 2.63%, respectively. This compares with yields of 5.56% and 5.01% and borrowing rates of 2.50% and 2.48% for spreads of 3.06% and 2.53%, respectively, during the same periods in 2002. Because this portfolio currently consists of adjustable-rate assets secured by borrowings with similar interest rate adjustment features, future changes in short-term interest rates should have little effect on financing spreads. The CMO collateral and investments portfolio has declined significantly the last several years primarily because of high prepayments on the underlying pledged CMO collateral and the exercise of clean-up calls in which the Company retired the related bonds and either sold the released CMO collateral for gains or transferred it into the Non-agency Securities portfolio where it is held for investment (see "Financial Condition -- CMO Collateral and Investments"). In May 2002 the Company made its first direct investment in real estate that is net-leased on a long-term basis. Under the terms of the Lease, changes in interest rates on the related debt are the responsibility of the lessee. Current quarter results were higher than the third quarter of 2002 primarily because of an annual rent escalation effective each May 1 and lower depreciation expense because of the October 2002 sale of a skilled nursing facility acquired with these six independent living properties. Because real estate -22- held for lease was acquired May 1, 2002, the nine months ended September 30, 2002 only includes five months ownership of these properties (see "Financial Condition -- Real Estate Held For Lease"). Gain on asset sales and CMO redemptions reflect the sale of $120 million of released CMO collateral and gains on the redemption of CMO bonds related to $170 million in collateral held as Non-agency securities upon release from the related indentures. The Company does not anticipate realizing significant additional gains from the redemption of previously-issued securitizations. CMO administration revenue continues to trend lower primarily because a declining portfolio of CMOs for which the Company provides administrative services. As these CMOs pay down, related fee income is expected to decline. Other revenue was lower due to lower balances in overnight investments during 2003. On a combined basis, incentive fees payable to Fortress, the Company's former affiliate, and other operating expenses were considerably less during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 than during the same periods in 2002. This reflects lower current year accruals for incentive fees payable to management and Fortress primarily because of the recent trend of lower quarterly earnings and dividends (see "Financial Condition -- Management Changes"). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capstead's primary sources of funds are borrowings under repurchase arrangements and monthly principal and interest payments on mortgage securities and similar investments. Other sources of funds include proceeds from other borrowing arrangements, proceeds from asset sales, payments received on real estate held for lease, and excess cash flows on CMO collateral and investments. The Company generally uses its liquidity to pay down borrowings to reduce borrowing costs. The table included under "Financial Condition -- Utilization of Capital and Potential Liquidity" illustrates additional funds potentially available to the Company as of September 30, 2003. The Company currently believes that it has ample liquidity and capital resources available for the acquisition of additional investments, repayments on borrowings and the payment of cash dividends as required for Capstead's continued qualification as a REIT. It is the Company's policy to remain strongly capitalized and conservatively leveraged. Borrowings under repurchase arrangements secured by Agency Securities and Non-agency Securities generally have maturities of less than 31 days. These borrowings totaled approximately $1.9 billion at September 30, 2003. Capstead has uncommitted repurchase facilities with investment banking firms to finance these investments, subject to certain conditions. Interest rates on these borrowings are generally based on 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rates and related terms and conditions are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Amounts available to be borrowed under these arrangements are dependent upon the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates, credit quality and liquidity conditions within the investment banking, mortgage finance and real estate industries (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). Borrowings under repurchase arrangements with investment banking firms secured by CMBS and from commercial banks secured by investments in commercial loans more closely match the interest rate adjustment features of these investments such that the Company anticipates it can earn more consistent financing spreads and, as a result, experience less interest rate volatility than experienced with investments in Agency Securities. These borrowings, which generally have longer initial maturities than borrowings secured by Agency Securities and may feature renewal options, totaled approximately $95 million at September 30, 2003. Should Capstead make significant additional investments in credit- -23- sensitive assets, it is anticipated that it will attempt to lessen interest rate volatility in a similar fashion or through the use of derivative financial instruments ("Derivatives") such as interest rate swaps (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes" and "Risks Associated With Credit-Sensitive Investments"). CMO borrowings totaled approximately $240 million at September 30, 2003 and are secured by CMO collateral pledged to the related indentures. As such, recourse is limited to this collateral and therefore has a limited impact on Capstead's liquidity and capital resources. The maturity of each CMO series is affected by mortgage prepayments and clean-up calls. With its acquisition of senior living properties in 2002, Capstead assumed approximately $19 million in fixed-rate mortgage financing from a commercial bank that matures in 2009 and $101 million in tax-exempt bond debt. In November 2002, the tax-exempt bonds were refunded with proceeds from issuing new 30-year adjustable-rate tax-exempt bonds. Under the terms of the Lease, changes in interest rates on this debt are the responsibility of the lessee and as such, have no effect on the Company's liquidity (see "Financial Condition -- Real Estate Held For Lease"). EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ON OPERATING RESULTS Capstead performs earnings sensitivity analysis using an income simulation model to estimate the effects that specific interest rate changes can reasonably be expected to have on future earnings. All financial assets and Derivatives held are included in this analysis. The sensitivity of components of Other revenue (expense) to changes in interest rates is included as well, although no asset sales are assumed. Because under the terms of the Lease, Brookdale is responsible for changes in related debt service requirements, earnings from the Company's investment in net-leased real estate are generally not affected by changes in interest rates. The model incorporates management assumptions regarding the level of mortgage prepayments for a given interest rate change using market-based estimates of prepayment speeds for purposes of amortizing investment and liability premiums and discounts. These assumptions are developed through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. As of September 30, 2003, Capstead had the following estimated earnings sensitivity profile (dollars in thousands):
10-YEAR 30-DAY U.S. LIBOR TREASURY RATE RATE IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN:* ---------- ---------- ------------------------------------------------------ 30-day LIBOR rate Down 1.00% Down 1.00% Flat Up 1.00% 10-year U.S. Treasury rate Down 1.00% Flat Up 1.00% Up 1.00% Projected 12-month earnings change: September 30, 2003 1.12% 3.94% $7,491 $10,517 $2,172 $(9,143) December 31, 2002 1.38 3.82 8,484 11,817 2,490 (9,665)
* Sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates is determined relative to the actual rates at the applicable date. Note that the projected 12-month earnings change is predicated on acquisitions of similar assets sufficient to replace runoff. There can be no guarantee that suitable investments will be available for purchase at attractive prices or if investments made will behave in the same fashion as assets currently held. Income simulation modeling is the primary tool used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net margins on financial assets resulting from changes in interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include mortgage prepayment rates, changes in market conditions, and management's financial capital plans. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate -24- net margins or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net margins. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and other changes in market conditions, management strategies and other factors. GENERAL DISCUSSION OF EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES Changes in interest rates may affect Capstead's earnings in various ways. Earnings currently depend, in part, on the difference between the interest received on mortgage securities and similar investments, and the interest paid on related borrowings, which are generally based on 30-day LIBOR. The resulting financing spread may be reduced or even turn negative in a rising short-term interest rate environment. Because the mortgage securities and similar investments portfolio consists primarily of ARM securities, the risk of rising short-term interest rates is offset to some extent by increases in the rates of interest earned on the underlying ARM loans, which reset periodically based on underlying indices (generally one-year CMT rates). Since only a portion of the ARM loans underlying these securities reset each month, and the terms of an ARM loan generally limit the amount of such increases during any single interest rate adjustment period and over the life of the loan, interest rates on borrowings can rise to levels that may exceed the interest rates on the underlying loans contributing to lower or even negative financing spreads. At other times, declines in these indices during periods of relatively low short-term interest rates will negatively effect yields on ARM securities as the underlying ARM loans reset at lower rates. If declines in these indices exceed declines in the Company's borrowing rates, earnings could be adversely affected. The Company may invest in Derivatives from time to time as a hedge against rising interest rates on a portion of its short-term borrowings. At September 30, 2003, the Company did not own any Derivatives for this purpose. Another effect of changes in interest rates is that as long-term interest rates decrease, the rate of principal prepayments on mortgage loans underlying mortgage securities and similar investments generally increases. During periods of relatively low interest rates, prolonged periods of high prepayments can significantly reduce the expected life of these investments; therefore, the actual yields realized can be lower due to faster amortization of premiums. Further, to the extent the proceeds of prepayments are not reinvested or cannot be reinvested at a rate of interest at least equal to the rate previously earned on that capital, earnings may be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that suitable investments at attractive pricing will be available on a timely basis to replace runoff as it occurs or that the current composition of investments (consisting primarily of ARM Agency Securities) will be maintained. A change in interest rates also impacts earnings recognized from CMO collateral and investments, which currently consist primarily of fixed-rate CMO residuals. During periods of relatively low mortgage interest rates, prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans generally will be higher, accelerating the amortization of collateral and bond premiums. Conversely, if mortgage interest rates rise significantly above interest rates on the collateral, principal prepayments will typically diminish, improving the overall return on an investment in a fixed-rate CMO residual because of an increase in time over which the Company receives positive net cash flows and can amortize remaining collateral and bond premiums. Capstead periodically sells assets, which may increase income volatility because of the recognition of transactional gains or losses. Such sales may become attractive as asset values fluctuate with changes in interest rates. At other times, asset sales may become prudent to shift the Company's investment focus. During periods of rising interest rates or contracting market liquidity, asset values can decline leading to increased margin calls, reducing the Company's liquidity. A margin call means that a lender requires a borrower to pledge additional collateral to re-establish the agreed-upon ratio of the value of the collateral to the amount of the borrowing. If the Company is unable or unwilling to pledge additional collateral, lenders can liquidate the collateral under adverse market conditions, likely resulting in losses. -25- RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CREDIT-SENSITIVE INVESTMENTS Commercial mortgage assets may be viewed as exposing an investor to greater risk of loss than residential mortgage assets since such assets are typically secured by larger loans to fewer obligors than residential mortgage assets. Commercial property values and related net operating income are often subject to volatility, and net operating income may be sufficient or insufficient to cover debt service on the related mortgage loan at any given time. The repayment of loans secured by income-producing properties is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project and the ability of the applicable property to produce net operating income rather than upon the liquidation value of the underlying real estate. Even when the current net operating income is sufficient to cover debt service, there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future. Additionally, commercial properties may not be readily convertible to alternative uses if such properties were to become unprofitable due to competition, age of improvements, decreased demand, regulatory changes or other factors. The conversion of commercial properties to alternate uses often requires substantial capital expenditures, which may or may not be available. The availability of credit for commercial mortgage loans may be dependent upon economic conditions in the markets where such properties are located, as well as the willingness and ability of lenders to make such loans. The availability of funds in the credit markets fluctuates and there can be no assurance that the availability of such funds will increase above, or will not contract below current levels. In addition, the availability of similar commercial properties, and the competition for available credit, may affect the ability of potential purchasers to obtain financing for the acquisition of properties. This could effect the repayment of commercial mortgages. Credit-sensitive residential mortgage assets differ from commercial mortgage assets in several important ways yet can still carry substantial credit risk. Residential mortgage securities typically are secured by smaller loans to more obligors than CMBS, thus spreading the risk of mortgagor default. However, most of the mortgages supporting credit-sensitive residential securities are made to homeowners that do not qualify for Agency loan programs for reasons including loan size, financial condition, or work or credit history that may be indicative of higher risk of default than loans qualifying for such programs. As with commercial mortgages, in instances of default the Company may incur losses if proceeds from sales of the underlying residential collateral are less than the unpaid principal balances of the residential mortgage loans and related foreclosure costs. However, with residential mortgages this risk may be mitigated by various forms of credit enhancements including, but not limited to, primary mortgage insurance. Through the process of securitizing both commercial and residential mortgages, credit risk can be heightened or minimized. Senior classes in multi-class securitizations generally have first priority over cash flows from a pool of mortgages and, as a result, carry the least risk, highest investment ratings and the lowest yields. Typically, a securitization will also have mezzanine classes and subordinated classes. Mezzanine classes will generally have lower credit ratings, higher yields and may have average lives that are longer than the senior classes. Subordinate classes are junior in the right to receive cash flow from the underlying mortgages, thus providing credit enhancement to the senior and mezzanine classes. As a result, subordinated securities will have even lower credit ratings and higher yields because of the elevated risk of credit loss inherent in these securities. The availability of capital from external sources to finance investments in credit-sensitive commercial and residential mortgage assets may be diminished during periods of mortgage finance market illiquidity. Additionally, if market conditions deteriorate resulting in substantial declines in value of these assets, sufficient capital may not be available to support the continued ownership of such investments, requiring these assets to be sold at a loss. -26- RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OWNING REAL ESTATE The direct ownership of commercial real estate involves a number of risks. With its first acquisition of real estate, Capstead has attempted to mitigate these risks by entering into a long-term "net-lease" arrangement whereby the lessee is responsible for the ongoing operation and management of the properties and for paying all expenses associated with the operation of the properties. Although reduced by this net-lease arrangement, risks of ownership remain, including: o The risk that changes in economic conditions or real estate markets may adversely affect the value of the properties. o During inflationary periods, which are generally accompanied by rising interest rates, increases in operating costs and borrowing rates may be greater than increases in lessee revenues from operating properties. Over an extended period of time, this could result in lessee defaults. o The risk that a deterioration of local conditions could adversely affect the ability of a lessee to profitably operate a property. For instance, an oversupply of senior living properties could hamper the leasing of senior living units at favorable rates. This could ultimately affect the value of the properties. o Changes in tax, zoning or other laws could make properties less attractive or less profitable. o An owner cannot be assured that lessees will elect to renew their leases when the terms expire. If a lessee does not renew its lease or otherwise defaults on its lease obligations, there is no assurance the owner can obtain a substitute lessee on acceptable terms. If the owner cannot obtain another qualified operator to lease a property, the owner may be required to modify the property for a different use, which may involve significant capital expenditures and delays in re-leasing the property. o The risk that lessees will not perform under their leases, reducing the owner's income from the leases or requiring the owner to assume costs (such as real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance) that are the lessees' responsibility under net-leases. In the case of special-purpose real estate such as senior living facilities, compliance with licensing requirements could complicate or delay the transfer of operational control of such properties. This could lead to a significant cash flow burden for the owner to service the debt and otherwise maintain the properties. o Net-leases generally require the lessee to carry comprehensive liability, casualty, workers' compensation and rental loss insurance. The required coverage is typical of the type, and amount, customarily obtained by an owner of similar properties. However, there are some types of losses, such as catastrophic acts of nature, for which insurance cannot be obtained at a commercially reasonable cost. If there is an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insurance limits, the owner could lose both the revenues generated by the affected property and the capital invested in the property. The owner would, however, remain obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. o Investments in real estate are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements including the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"). The ADA requires that public accommodations reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations be made to commercial facilities to conform to accessibility guidelines. Failure to comply with the ADA can result in injunctions, fines, and damage awards to private parties and additional capital expenditures to remedy noncompliance. Existing requirements may change and compliance -27- with future requirements may involve significant unanticipated expenditures. Although typically these expenditures would be the responsibility of the lessee under the terms of net-leases, if lessees fail to perform these obligations, the owner may be required to do so. o Under federal, state and local environmental laws, the owner may be required to investigate and clean up any release of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at its properties, regardless of its knowledge or actual responsibility, simply because of current or past ownership of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems arise, the owner may have to make substantial payments, which could adversely affect cash flow and the ability to make distributions to stockholders. This is so because: 1. The owner may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination. 2. The law may impose clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination. Even if more than one person is responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs. 3. Governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs. In investigating the acquisition of real estate, environmental studies are typically performed to establish the existence of any contamination. In addition, net-leases generally require lessees to operate properties in compliance with environmental laws and to indemnify the owner against environmental liability arising from the operation of such properties. o An owner may desire to sell a property in the future because of changes in market conditions or poor lessee performance or to avail itself of other opportunities. An owner may also be required to sell a property in the future to meet debt obligations or avoid a default. Unlike investments in mortgage securities, real estate cannot always be sold quickly, and there can be no assurance that the properties can be sold at a favorable price or that a prospective buyer will view existing lease or operating arrangements favorably. In addition, a property may require restoration or modification before it is sold. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon Capstead's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities (including contingencies), revenues and expenses as well as related disclosures. These estimates are based on available internal and market information and appropriate valuation methodologies believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the expected useful lives and carrying values of assets and liabilities which can materially affect the determination of net income and book value per common share. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following are critical accounting policies in the preparation of Capstead's consolidated financial statements that involve the use of estimates requiring considerable judgment: o Amortization of Premiums and Discounts on Financial Assets and Borrowings -- Premiums and discounts on financial assets and borrowings are recognized in earnings as adjustments to interest income or interest expense by the interest method over the estimated lives of the related assets or -28- borrowings. For most of Capstead's financial assets, and for its CMO borrowings, estimates and judgments related to future levels of mortgage prepayments are critical to this determination (see "Effects of Interest Rate Changes"). o Fair Value and Impairment Accounting for Financial Assets -- Most of Capstead's mortgage securities and similar investments portfolio and a small portion of its CMO collateral and investments portfolio are classified as held available-for-sale and recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses recorded in stockholders' equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income. As such, these unrealized gains and losses enter into the calculation of book value per common share. Generally, gains or losses are recognized in earnings only if sold; however, if a decline in fair value of an individual asset below its amortized cost occurs that is determined to be other than temporary, the difference between amortized cost and fair value would be included in Other revenue (expense) as an impairment charge. Considerable judgment is required interpreting market data to develop estimated fair values, particularly in circumstances of deteriorating credit quality and market liquidity (see "NOTE 10" to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of how Capstead values its financial assets, "Risks of Interest Rate Changes" and "Risks Associated with Credit-Sensitive Investments"). o Depreciation and Impairment Accounting for Real Estate held for Lease -- Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of buildings, equipment and fixtures. If a significant adverse event or change in circumstances occurs, management would assess if the values of the Company's real estate properties have become impaired. If estimated operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of a property over its remaining useful life are less than its net carrying value, the difference between net carrying value and fair value would be included in Other revenue (expense) as an impairment charge. Considerable judgment is required in determining useful lives of components of real estate properties and in estimating operating cash flows, particularly during periods of changing circumstances (see "Risks Associated with Owning Real Estate"). FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This document contains "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that inherently involve risks and uncertainties. Capstead's actual results and liquidity can differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of changes in the level and composition of the Company's investments and unforeseen factors. Relative to the Company's investments in financial assets, these factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, the availability of suitable investments, fluctuations in, and market expectations for fluctuations in, interest rates and levels of mortgage prepayments, deterioration in credit quality and ratings, the effectiveness of risk management strategies, the impact of leverage, liquidity of secondary markets and credit markets, increases in costs and other general competitive factors. Relative to direct investments in real estate, these factors may include, but are not limited to, lessee performance under lease agreements, changes in general as well as local economic conditions and real estate markets, increases in competition and inflationary pressures, changes in the tax and regulatory environment including zoning and environmental laws, uninsured losses or losses in excess of insurance limits and the availability of adequate insurance coverage at reasonable costs. -29- COMPARISON OF OPERATING INCOME AND DILUTED INCOME PER COMMON SHARE The following table reconciles net income to operating income and compares the calculation of operating income per common share to diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
