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.
