Financing Spread on Mortgage Assets*

Yield

Borrowing Rate

Fed Funds Rate

1-Month LIBOR

Yields on Mortgage Assets vs. Borrowing Rates

Fed Funds vs. 1-Month LIBOR**

Portfolio yields and financing spreads were adversely affected between March and July 2010 by the buyout of

a backlog of seriously delinquent loans by the GSEs

Repo borrowing rates remain at favorable levels with average repo borrowing rates of 0.29% at September 30,

2010 (0.63% including interest rate swaps)

With mortgage prepayments resulting from the GSE buyout programs subsiding, portfolio yields and financing

spreads are beginning to improve over lower levels experienced early in the third quarter

Avg. Spread on mortgage assets: 1.61%*

Third Quarter Highlights

Reported earnings of $23.7 million or $0.27 per diluted common

share

Financing spreads on mortgage assets declined 35 basis points

to average 1.56%, absorbing the last of the Fannie Mae and

Freddie Mac buy-outs of seriously delinquent loans from their

guarantee portfolios*

Portfolio runoff has moderated significantly after the conclusion of

the buy-out programs in July

Book value declined $0.05 to $11.77 per common share

Portfolio increased $264 million to $7.94 billion resulting in an

increase in portfolio leverage to 6.37 times long-term  investment

capital

Published Management Remarks

Comment from the Company’s October 27, 2010 earnings press release:

“Sharply higher portfolio runoff resulting from the GSE buyout programs contributed to

significantly higher premium amortization and lower portfolio yields from March to July of this

year as well as temporarily lower average portfolio balances as capital made available from

this runoff was redeployed in a disciplined fashion.  July marked the final month of accelerated

runoff from the GSE buyout programs and represented our highest single month of runoff

because the GSE buyouts were focused on relatively low coupon Fannie Mae securities,

which make up the majority of our currently-resetting ARM securities.  In August annualized

portfolio runoff declined considerably to 21.5% (a 19.2% CPR) and has trended lower into the

fourth quarter with October runoff dropping to approximately 19.6% (a 17.1% CPR),

contributing to a substantial improvement in portfolio yields.

“Our third quarter acquisitions of primarily currently-resetting ARM securities more than

replaced

the

quarter’s

portfolio

runoff

and,

together

with

acquisitions

subsequent

to

quarter-

end, we have now replaced all of this year’s portfolio runoff through October.  If recent market

conditions

continue,

we

anticipate

reporting

an

increase

for

the

year

in

overall

portfolio

size.

“Our recent success in re-leveraging our investment capital, together with the favorable

prepay characteristics of our seasoned portfolio of agency-guaranteed ARM securities and the

continuing low borrowing rate environment, bolster our expectations for reporting significantly

improved operating results for the fourth quarter and into 2011.”

   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).

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

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.

Exhibit 99.2

About Us:

We invest in a leveraged portfolio of almost exclusively residential adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. ARM securities reset to more current interest rates within a relatively short period of time allowing for:

• the expansion of financing spreads during periods of falling interest rates,

• the recovery of financing spreads diminished during periods of rising interest rates, and

• smaller fluctuations in portfolio values from changes in interest rates compared to fixed-rate mortgage securities.

Experienced Management

Formed in 1985, Capstead’s experienced management team has over 80 years of combined mortgage finance industry experience.

Quality Assets

Agency-guaranteed residential mortgage securities are considered to have little, if any, credit risk, particularly given federal government support for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These mortgage investments are highly liquid and can be financed with multiple funding providers through standard repurchase arrangements.

Proven Strategy

We prudently leverage our portfolio to provide the financial flexibility needed to successfully manage through periods of changing market conditions.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Reported earnings of $23.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share.

• Book value of $11.77 per common share at September 30, 2010.

• Portfolio increased $264 million to $7.94 billion at September 30, 2010.

• Portfolio leverage increased to 6.37 times long-term investment capital at September 30, 2010.

• Total financing spreads averaged 1.40%, absorbing the last of the GSE buyouts of seriously delinquent loans.

• Portfolio runoff moderated significantly after conclusion of GSE buyout programs in July 2010.
