CERTIFICATIONS
 
 
 
I, Robert E. Cauley,
 
certify that:
 
 
1.
 
I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q
 
of Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the "registrant");
 
 
2.
 
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain
 
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of
 
the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period
 
covered by this report;
 
 
3.
 
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
 
financial information included in this report, fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition, results of
 
operations and cash flows of the registrant as
of, and for, the periods presented
 
in this report;
 
 
4.
 
The registrant's other certifying officer and
 
I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a
 
-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a
 
-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
 
 
 
a)
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
 
caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information
 
relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
 
those entities, particularly during the
period in which this report is being prepared;
 
 
 
b)
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
 
caused such internal control over financial
reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
 
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
 
for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles;
 
 
c)
evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
 
controls and procedures and presented in this
report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
 
the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
 
and
 
 
 
d)
disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s
 
internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the registrant’s most
 
recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s
 
fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
 
likely to materially affect, the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting; and
 
 
5.
 
The registrant's other certifying officer and
 
I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and
 
the audit committee of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
 
 
 
a)
all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
 
design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
 
affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and
 
 
b)
any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
 
or other employees who have a significant
role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
