Management Overview
Steven R. Mumma, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “the second quarter demonstrated the impact of being fully invested in our portfolio strategy. The investments made in the Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio exceeded expectations primarily as a result of a favorable prepayment environment. During the second quarter, we were able to deploy approximately $10 million of additional funding to our Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio with proceeds from the sale of certain CLO notes as well as principal returns from our investment in distressed residential loans. In addition, we funded $6.9 million in our commercial mortgage strategy, representing our first two investments with RiverBanc, the investment manager to our commercial mortgage subsidiary. The Company will continue to allocate future investments to the Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio, Agency RMBS and its commercial mortgage strategy, focusing on investment opportunities that will deliver blended risk adjusted returns in the high teens.”
Results from Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported consolidated net income of $4.2 million, or $0.44 per common share, as compared to consolidated net income of $1.5 million, or $0.16 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net income of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in the previous year, was due primarily to a $2.6 million increase in net interest income on the investment portfolio and loans held in securitization trusts, an increase of $2.0 million in net realized gain on securities, an increase of $0.5 million in income from investment in limited partnership and limited liability company offset by an increase of $0.7 million in unrealized loss on investment securities, a $1.3 million increase in general, administrative and other expenses and a $0.4 million increase in income tax expense. The increase in net interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was primarily driven by a 274 basis point increase in net interest income spread which was mainly due to the performance of our Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio. The Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio primarily invests in Agency interest only securities that typically outperform in low prepayment environments which the Company experienced during the second quarter of 2011. In addition, a realized gain of $2.5 million from the sale of certain CLO notes was a significant contributor to the increase in net income during the second quarter of 2011. The increase in income tax expense partially resulted from the previously noted sales of certain CLO notes.
Adjusted book value per common share as of June 30, 2011 was $7.44. The adjusted book value per share at June 30, 2011 gives effect to the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares issued on July 1, 2011 pursuant to the Company’s public offering that priced on June 28, 2011. The adjusted book value per common share at June 30, 2011 represents a decrease of $0.10 per common share from the Company’s book value at March 31, 2011 and an increase of $0.17 per common share from the Company’s book value at December 31, 2010. Excluding the effects of the public offering, book value per common share at June 30, 2011 was $7.53. Because the pricing of the Company’s public offering occurred prior to the end of the second quarter of the 2011, but didn’t close until July 1, 2011, the Company recorded the transaction in the stockholders’ equity section of its balance sheet as “common stock subscribed" in accordance with accounting guidance. However, because the issuance of common stock in connection with the offering did not occur until July 1, 2011 the 1,500,000 common shares are not included in the balance sheet at June 30, 2011 as shares outstanding. As a result, the Company has provided adjusted book value per common share at June 30, 2011 in order to provide investors with a book value per share that is indicative of the Company’s book value at June 30, 2011. The adjusted book value at June 30, 2011, includes accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.58 per common share, including $1.64 per common share of net unrealized gains related to available for sale securities and $0.06 per common share of unrealized derivative losses related to cash flow hedges.

In addition, as of June 30, 2011, the Company’s balance sheet included four real estate owned properties totaling $0.7 million.
Public Offering of Common Stock
On June 28, 2011, the Company priced a follow-on public offering of 1,500,000 shares of common stock (excluding an additional 225,000 shares reserved to cover the underwriter’s allotment option) at a price to the public of $7.50 per share. The Company closed on the issuance of 1,500,000 shares on July 1, 2011. On July 14, 2011, the Company issued an additional 225,000 shares of common stock to the underwriter pursuant to their exercise of the over-allotment option. The Company received total net proceeds of $11.9 million from the issuance of the 1,725,000 shares. The Company invested $5.0 million of the net proceeds in its Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio and expects to invest the balance in Agency RMBS and its commercial mortgage portfolio.
Initial Funding of our Commercial Mortgage Portfolio
On April 11, 2011, the Company announced that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, RB Commercial Mortgage LLC (“RBCM”), had entered into a multi-year investment management agreement with RiverBanc LLC (“RiverBanc”). Under the investment management agreement, RiverBanc sources, structures and manages investments secured by commercial real estate that are funded by RBCM on a flow basis. Through its funding of RBCM, the Company expects to invest in both mezzanine loans and preferred equity for all commercial property types on a nationwide basis. RiverBanc will focus on middle market opportunities and pursue on behalf of RBCM transactions in amounts as low as $2 million secured by properties valued at $10 million or greater. RBCM will also participate in structured investments such as the acquisition of seasoned or distressed loan portfolios, net leased properties or subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Company sometimes refers to this strategy as its commercial mortgage strategy. During May 2011, the Company funded $6.9 million of commercial mortgage assets under this strategy.
Additional Investments in Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio
In March 2011, the Company provided $24.5 million of initial funding to the Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company has provided an additional $15.0 million of funding to the Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio, bringing its total investment in this portfolio to $39.5 million. The Company expects to contribute additional capital to the Midway Residential Mortgage Portfolio in the future, subject to various conditions.
