Non-GAAP Financial Information
 
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release contains the non-GAAP financial measure of “core earnings”.  The Company’s management uses core earnings in its internal analysis of results and believes this information is useful to investors for the reasons explained below.
 
We calculate core earnings as GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders excluding gain/loss on sale of investments and realized and unrealized gain/loss on interest rate derivative instruments.  The Company records changes in the valuation of its investment portfolio and certain interest rate swaps in other comprehensive income.  In addition, the Company uses swaptions and futures that do not qualify under GAAP for inclusion in other comprehensive income and, as such, the changes in valuation are recorded in the period in which they occur.  For internal portfolio analysis, the Company’s management deducts these gains and losses from GAAP net income to provide a consistent view of investment portfolio performance across reporting periods.
 
The Company believes the presentation of core earnings allows investors to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company to that of its peers because core earnings measures investment portfolio performance over multiple reporting periods by removing realized and unrealized gains and losses.  As such, the Company believes that the disclosure of core earnings is useful to its investors.
 
However, the Company cautions that core earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), or an indication of our cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of amounts available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. In addition, our methodology for calculating core earnings may differ from those employed by other companies for a similarly described measure and, therefore, may not be comparable.

(6)   Beginning June 10, 2013, regulations promulgated under The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act mandate that the Company clear new interest rate swap transactions through a central counterparty. Transactions that are centrally cleared result in the Company facing a clearing house, rather than a swap dealer, as counterparty.  Central clearing requires the Company to post collateral in the form of initial and variation margin to the clearinghouse which reduces default risk.

* Average amounts for each period are based on weighted month-end balances; all percentages are annualized.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the average balances are presented on an amortized cost basis.
 
(1) Average portfolio yield for the period was calculated by dividing interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, by our average of the amortized cost of the investments.  All yields are annualized.
 
(2) Amount represents the maximum borrowings at month-end during each of the respective periods.
 
(3) Average cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by our average borrowings.
 
(4) Average equity is calculated based on a weighted balance basis.
