CAPSTEAD INVESTER PRESENTATION JUNE 30, 2006

Safe Harbor Statement - Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Forward Looking Information This presentation 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. As discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, these factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, the availability of suitable qualifying investments from both an investment return and regulatory perspective, the availability of new investment capital, 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. In addition to the above considerations, actual results and liquidity related to investments in loans secured by commercial real estate are affected by 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, among other factors.

About Capstead Capstead Mortgage Corporation is a real estate investment trust headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

These investments currently consist primarily of residential ARM securities issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored entities, either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae. Capstead also seeks to opportunistically invest a portion of its investment capital in credit-sensitive commercial real estate-related assets, including subordinate commercial real estate loans.

Residential Mortgage Investments Capstead's Core Strategy Primarily invest in short duration Agency ARM securities: Coupons which typically reset annually or semi-annually. Highly liquid, limited credit risk, and reduced price volatility. Finance with repurchase agreements: Typically 1-month terms; however, longer-to-reset securities are financed with longer-term agreements effectively locking in financing spreads during a significant portion of the fixed-rate period of these investments. Prudent leverage of 11x provides ample reserves for price movement and principal payments. Conservative risk management with portfolio duration gap of 3 to 4 months.

Residential Mortgage Investments Portfolio Statistics * Fully indexed net WAC represents the weighted average coupon, net of servicing and guarantee fees, upon one or more resets for the portfolio held at June 30, 2006 using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2006 and the applicable net margin. Subsequent changes in portfolio composition and interest rate indices will impact actual coupon resets. ** Financed with longer-term borrowings totaling $845 million at a rate of 4.61% and an average maturity of 24 months.

Residential Mortgage Investments Progression of Financing Spreads * Projected annualized yields reflect ARM coupon resets and lifetime runoff assumptions as adjusted for expected portfolio acquisitions over the next three months and runoff expectations over the next twelve months, as of July 20, 2006, the date second quarter earnings were released. Actual yields realized in future periods largely depend upon (i) changes in portfolio composition, (ii) actual ARM coupon resets, (iii) actual runoff and (iv) any changes in lifetime runoff assumptions.

Commercial Mortgage Investments Capstead's Strategy to Augment Its Core Portfolio of Residential MBS Capstead seeks to opportunistically invest 15-20% of its investment capital in credit- sensitive commercial real estate-related assets, including subordinate commercial real estate loans. Investments may be sourced internally or through joint ventures. Designed to augment core investment strategy to provide earnings support during periods of rising interest rates. Existing joint venture with Crescent Real Estate Equities Company - Redtail Capital: Invest primarily in B-notes and mezzanine loans secured by high quality commercial properties on a leveraged basis. Leverages off of Crescent's platform (expertise and deal flow). Crescent, as general partner, identifies opportunities, typically 80% or less LTV loans with high coverage and strong sponsorship. $100 million non-discretionary equity commitment, $75 million Capstead, $25 million Crescent. Capstead has right of first refusal, and independently reviews each investment opportunity. Financing up to 75% of portfolio acquisitions through asset-based lending arrangements including a $225 million committed master repurchase facility. Opportunity for a similar $100 million follow-on partnership after July 2007 conclusion of investment period.
