Safe Harbor Statement - Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Forward Looking Information 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 other 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 borrower performance under operating and/or development plans, 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.

Core Investment Strategy Managing a leveraged portfolio of Agency ARM securities that can earn attractive returns over the long term, while reducing, but not eliminating, sensitivity to changes in interest rates Over 99% of CMO's investment portfolio is invested in ARM securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, which have an implied or actual credit rating of AAA Coupon resets allow us to eventually recover financing spreads diminished during periods of rising short-term interest rates During periods of falling interest rates, reductions to interest rates on our borrowings allow us to capture larger financing spreads Prudently leveraged to provide sufficient reserves for price movements and principal payments, target 8.0x to 12.0x We adopted this as our core investment strategy in 2000 under the leadership of Wes Edens, CEO of Fortress Investment Group, which owned a substantial position in Capstead until 2003 Focused on Agency ARM Securities.

Low Risk Residential Mortgage Investment Strategy Longer-to-Reset Agency ARM Securities Current-Reset Agency ARM Securities 3.2 4.1 Current-Reset ARMs ($4.1 billion) Longer-to-Reset ARMs ($3.2 billion) (as of March 31, 2008) Financed 100% with $3.7 billion in 30 to 90 day borrowings that adjust relatively quickly to more current rates Financed with $1.5 billion in longer-dated committed borrowings (5.02%, 12 month average maturity) and $1.4 billion in 30-day borrowings combined with two-year swap agreements ($1.7 billion at 3.47%, 21 month average maturity) Backed by mortgage loans with coupon interest rates that reset at least annually or begin doing so after an initial fixed-rate period of five years or less Longer-term repo and/or swaps are utilized to mitigate interest rate risk on longer-to-reset ARM securities The duration of our assets and liabilities was approximately 10 months and 7 months, respectively, for a net duration gap of under 3 months at quarter-end Leverage was reduced from nearly 10:1 at year-end to 9:1 by quarter-end, and is currently near low end of 8.0x to 12.0x targeted leverage range 56% 44%

Maintain Appropriate Leverage Debt / Long-Term Investment Capital has historically ranged from 8.0x to 12.0x through various economic cycles Because of the quality and liquidity of our portfolio, we can quickly readjust our leverage ratio to respond to changes in the market We currently anticipate maintaining our leverage at the lower end of our targeted range in the coming quarters Historical Debt / Long-Term Investment Capital 9/30/04 12/31/04 3/31/05 6/30/05 9/30/05 12/31/05 3/31/06 6/30/06 9/30/06 12/31/06 3/31/07 6/30/07 9/30/07 12/31/07 3/31/08 Pro Forma East 8.6 9.7 9.6 9.7 9.6 9.6 10.9 11.2 11 11.1 11 11.5 10.3 9.8 9 8.4 * Pro Forma for over $55 million in net proceeds from issuances under our continuous offering program subsequent to quarter-end.

Sources of Financing Agency securities are highly liquid and can be financed with multiple funding providers through standard repurchase agreements We have long-term relationships with most lending counterparties and are actively pursuing new counterparty relationships Currently, we have positions on with 18 counterparties, up from 14 at year-end and just ten last September With the pending acquisition of Bear Stearns by JPMorgan Chase, we have reduced our borrowings with Bear Stearns to less than $100 million Actions taken by the Federal Reserve and by federal regulators to support the mortgage securities market have improved pricing for Agency Securities, increased the availability of repo financing and stalled momentum to higher collateral requirements beyond commonly seen levels of 5%

Improving Financing Spreads Recent improvement in financing spreads realized Fed Funds vs. Libor-Last 10 Months * Borrowing rates continue to decline with lower Fed Funds and maturity of longer-dated repo Prepayment speeds have slowed and should remain below traditional levels over the next several quarters Yields vs. Borrowing Rates ** * Source: Bloomberg. ** Source: Capstead public filings.
