Completely wound down

10% first-loss piece is sold to
private entities
Corker-Warner under
committee discussion but
not yet put to vote. Either
may become the front runner
from the Senate side but both
will likely have private capital
in the first loss place with several
mechanisms for risk sharing
Senate Banking Committee

13-9 on May 15. Insufficient
support to allow the bill
to be brought to the Senate
floor for debate/vote.
Johnson -
Crapo Bill
Based on Corker-Warner,
limited: only on scenarios
where losses on a pool of
mortgages exceeds a 10%
private loss position.
GSEs wound down over
5 year period, replaced
by FMIC.
Similar to Corker-Warner,
10% first-loss piece is sold to
private entities.
PATH Act
Very limited: dissolves the
GSEs completely and reduces
the scope of the FHA/VA
guarantee
Placed into receivership
and completely liquidated
with
Initially, a 10% risk-sharing
program on new GSE and
FHA business, although
private market
securitization is intended
eventually to replace GSEs
No news. In early 2013, the
Path Act seemed to be the
clear front-runner on the
House side. The final housing
finance reform, if it happens,
could be a compromise between
the PATH Act and whatever
comes out of the Senate
Delaney-Carney-Himes
Limited: Ginnie Mae is required
to provide an explicit
government guarantee once
the 5% risk slice is eroded
when one of the private
monoline insurers defaults
GSEs will be slowly wound
down and eventually converted
into private reinsurers with
limited capacities to take on
mortgage credit risk
5% first-loss piece on each
new Ginnie Mae securitization,
as well as a 10% pro-rata risk
slice on the top 95% of each

This is a forward yield and is calculated based on the cost basis of the security at June 30,
2014. (2) CPR is a method of expressing the prepayment rate for a mortgage
pool that assumes that a constant fraction of the remaining principal is prepaid each
month or year. Specifically, the constant prepayment rate is an annualized version of the prior three
month prepayment rate for those bonds held at June 30, 2014. Securities with no
prepayment history are excluded from this calculation. (3)
The weighted average months to reset of our Hybrid ARM portfolio was 61.1 at
June 30, 2014. Months to reset is the number of months remaining before the fixed rate
on a Hybrid ARM becomes a variable rate. At the end of the fixed period, the variable
rate will be determined by the margin and the pre-specified caps of the Hybrid ARM and
will reset annually. |

Drop Income is a component of our net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments on
our consolidated statements of operations, and is therefore excluded from Core
Earnings. (2)
Core Earnings is defined as net income (loss) available to common shares excluding net
realized gain (loss) on investments, net unrealized gain (loss) on investments, net
realized gain (loss) on termination of swap and cap contracts and net unrealized gain
(loss) on swap and cap contracts. Financial Information

The table above includes calculations of the Companys Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasury
Securities portfolio (Debt Securities) 1)
The average settled Debt Securities is calculated by averaging the month end cost basis of
settled Debt Securities during the period.
2)
The average total Debt Securities is calculated by averaging the month end cost basis of total
Debt Securities during the period. 3)
The average repurchase agreements are calculated by averaging the month end repurchase
agreements balance during the period. 4)
The average Debt Securities liabilities are calculated by adding the average month end
repurchase agreements balance plus average unsettled Debt Securities during the period.
5)
The average stockholders' equity is calculated by averaging the month end stockholders' equity
during the period. 6)
The average common shares outstanding are calculated by averaging the daily common shares
outstanding during the period. 7)
The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing (i) the Company's repurchase agreements balance
plus payable for securities purchased minus receivable for securities sold by (ii)
stockholders' equity.
8)
The average yield on Debt Securities for the period is calculated by dividing total interest
income by average settled Debt Securities. 9)
The average yield on total Debt Securities including Drop Income for the period is calculated
by dividing total interest income plus Drop Income by average total Debt Securities.
10)
The average cost of funds and hedge for the period is calculated by dividing interest expense
by average repurchase agreements. 11)
The adjusted average cost of funds and hedge for the period is calculated by dividing interest
expense by average Debt Securities liabilities. 12)
The interest rate spread net of hedge for the period is calculated by subtracting average cost
of funds and hedge from average yield on settled Debt Securities. 13)
The interest rate spread net of hedge including Drop Income for the period is calculated by
subtracting adjusted average cost of
funds and hedge from average yield on total Debt
Securities including Drop Income.
14)
The operating expense ratio for the period is calculated by dividing operating expenses by
average stockholders' equity. * All percentages are annualized.
