Highlight of Business Operations:

At June 30, 2010, we had total assets of $6.26 billion. Our Agency MBS portfolio, consisting of $6.15 billion, was distributed as follows: 27% adjustable-rate Agency MBS, 62% hybrid adjustable-rate Agency MBS, 11% fixed-rate Agency MBS and less than 1% agency floating-rate collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs. Our Non-Agency MBS portfolio consisted of approximately $5.1 million of floating-rate CMOs. Stockholders equity available to common stockholders at June 30, 2010 was approximately $840 million, or $7.18 per share. The $840 million equals total stockholders equity of $889 million less the Series A Preferred Stock liquidating value of approximately $46.9 million and less the difference between the Series B Preferred Stock liquidating value of $27.5 million and the proceeds from its sale of $25.6 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we reported net income of $25.8 million. Net income to common stockholders was $24.4 million, or net income of $0.21 per diluted share, based on a weighted average of 121.1 million fully diluted shares outstanding, which consisted of net income of $25.8 million minus payment of preferred dividends of $1.4 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our net income was $25.8 million. Our net income available to common stockholders was $24.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, based on a weighted average of 121.1 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

Net interest income is comprised of the interest income earned on mortgage investments (net of premium amortization expense) less interest expense from borrowings. Interest income (net of premium amortization expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $54.4 million, compared to $67.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 19.1% due primarily to an increase in premium amortization expense, a decrease in the weighted average coupons on Agency MBS (from 5.42% at June 30, 2009 to 4.50% at June 30, 2010), partially offset by an increase in the weighted average portfolio outstanding of approximately $5.97 billion at June 30, 2010 from approximately $5.36 billion at June 30, 2009. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $24.6 million, compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 15.8%, which resulted from a decline in short-term interest rates.
