uncertainties.

Capstead’s

actual

can

differ

materially

from

because

of

and

other

factors.

These

may

include,

but

are

not

to,

changes

in

general

economic

conditions,

the

of

from

both

the

the

In

Agency-guaranteed residential mortgage securities are considered to have

little, if any, credit risk, particularly given recent federal government support

for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

As a result, these investments are highly liquid and can be financed with

multiple funding providers through standard repurchase arrangements.

Overview

We manage a leveraged portfolio of residential adjustable-rate mortgage,

or ARM, securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or

Ginnie Mae that reset to more current interest rates within a relatively short

period of time allowing for:

•

potential expansion of financing spreads during periods of falling

interest rates,

•

potential recovery of financing spreads diminished during periods of

rising interest rates, and

•

smaller fluctuations in portfolio values from changes in interest rates

compared to investments in fixed-rate mortgage securities.

We are self-managed with low G&A costs and a conservative incentive

structure.

Capstead is a Real Estate Investment Trust formed in 1985, headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

ARM Securities Investment Strategy

Current-Reset

ARMs

($6.33 billion)

Longer-to-Reset

ARMs

($1.07 billion)

(investment basis as of March 31, 2010)

Over 99% of the securities in our portfolio are backed by well-seasoned

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.

Capstead has long-term relationships with most of its 18 active lending

counterparties and is constantly seeking to expand counterparty relationships.

The duration of our assets and liabilities was approximately 9

months and

7¼

months, respectively, for a net duration gap of approximately 1¾

months.

86%

14%

Financed primarily with 30-

to 90-day “repo”

borrowings.

Interest rate risk mitigated on macro basis

with two-year swap agreements ($2.8 billion

at

1.34%, 17 month average maturity as of

March 31, 2010) or longer-term repo, if

available at attractive rates and terms.

Financing Spreads

Fed Funds vs. One-Month Libor

Portfolio yields and financing spreads are currently being adversely affected by the GSE buyout programs

which should run their course by early in the third quarter.

Repo

borrowing

rates

remain

at

favorable

levels

(23

basis

points

at

quarter-end),

which

combined

with

newer,

lower-rate two-year swap positions, lowered our all-in repo borrowing rate to 0.66% at quarter-end (compared to

an average rate of 0.74% during Q1).

Once the delinquency backlog is cleared, prepayments should moderate considerably, allowing a substantial

recovery in portfolio yields and financing spreads.

Use of Financial Spread on Mortgage Assets,

a Non-GAAP Financial Measure

First Quarter 2010 (dollars in thousands)

(a)

Net interest margin on mortgage assets and Financing spread on mortgage assets are non-GAAP financial measures (based solely on

interest income and yields on the Company’s portfolio of mortgage securities, net of borrowings under repurchase agreements).  

These measures are similar to the all-inclusive GAAP measures, Total net interest margin and Total financing spread (based on all

interest-earning assets and all interest-bearing liabilities). 

(b)

Other interest-earning assets consist of overnight investments and cash collateral receivable from interest rate swap counterparties. 

(c)

Unsecured borrowings consist of junior subordinated notes with original terms of 30 years issued in 2005 and 2006 by Capstead to

statutory trusts formed to issue $3.1 million of the trusts’ common securities to Capstead and to privately place $100.0 million of

preferred securities to unrelated third party investors.  Capstead reflects its investment in the trusts as unconsolidated affiliates and

considers the unsecured borrowings, net of these affiliates, a component of its long-term investment capital.
