CAPSTEAD MORTGAGE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 BUSINESS
Capstead Mortgage Corporation operates as a self-managed real estate investment trust for federal
income tax purposes (a REIT) and is based in Dallas, Texas. Unless the context otherwise
indicates, Capstead Mortgage Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as
Capstead or the Company. Capstead earns income from investing in a leveraged portfolio of
residential mortgage pass-through securities consisting almost exclusively of adjustable-rate
mortgage (ARM) securities issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored entities, either Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac (together the GSEs), or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae.
Agency-guaranteed mortgage securities (Agency Securities), carry an implied AAA rating with
limited, if any, credit risk.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Interim Financial Reporting and Reclassifications
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009. For further information refer to
the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference into
the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Developments
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position EITF 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). This Staff Position affects entities that accrue cash dividends
on share-based payment awards during the awards service period when the dividends do not need to
be returned if any holder forfeits an award. The FASB concluded that unvested share-based payment
awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are participating securities (i.e. the
holders participate in dividends with common stockholders) and must be included in computing basic
and diluted earnings per share, if dilutive. FSP EITF 03-6-1 became effective for financial
statements beginning January 1, 2009 and requires an entity to retroactively adjust all prior
period earnings per share computations to reflect its provisions. Adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2009, Capstead adopted FASB Staff Position FAS140-3 Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP140-3). Under FSP140-3, certain
seller-financed acquisitions of mortgage investments entered into after December 31, 2008 will not
qualify as acquisitions if the related borrowings under repurchase arrangements are considered
sufficiently linked to the acquisition transaction. Any such seller-financed acquisitions that are
deemed to be sufficiently linked will generally be reported net of related financings at fair value
with related changes
-6-
in fair value reported in earnings until such time as the assets are no longer financed with the
sellers. No such linked acquisitions have occurred during the quarter and six months ended June
30, 2009; therefore, implementing FSP140-3 has not had any impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three concurrent Staff Positions: (i) Staff Position No. FAS 115-2
and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP115-2),
(ii) Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for an Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly (FSP157-4) and (iii) Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP107-1). FSP115-2 provides additional guidance for
accounting for other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities. In addition to existing
guidance, under FSP115-2 an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist if an entity does
not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a debt security. FSP115-2 provides for
the bifurcation of other-than-temporary impairments into (i) amounts related to credit losses,
which are recognized through earnings, and (ii) amounts related to all other factors, which are
recognized as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss). Further, FSP115-2 requires certain
additional disclosures for debt securities. FSP157-4 provides additional guidance for fair value
measures under FAS157 in determining if the market for an asset or liability is inactive and,
accordingly, if quoted market prices may not be indicative of fair value. FSP107-1 extends
existing annual financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements to interim periods.
All three of these Staff Positions are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and are
required to be implemented concurrently. Accordingly, Capstead adopted these Staff Positions on
April 1, 2009. The adoption did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS165). FAS165 modifies
the definition of what qualifies as a subsequent event those events or transactions that occur
following the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available
to be issued and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. FAS165 is effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, Capstead adopted the standard for the quarter ended June 30,
2009. The adoption of FAS165 did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has
reviewed events that have occurred after June 30, 2009, up until the time of issuance of the
financial statements on August 6, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
(FAS167). Among other items, FAS167 responds to concerns about the application of certain key
provisions of FIN 46(R), including those regarding the transparency of the involvement with
variable interest entities. FAS167 is effective for calendar year companies beginning on January
1, 2010. The Company believes the potential impact of adopting FAS167 will be limited to the
accounting treatment afforded its commercial mortgage investments. At this time the actual impact,
if any, on the accounting for these investments and therefore the impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE 3 EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred share
dividends and adjusting for the impact of nonnvested stock awards deemed to be participating
securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, calculated excluding
nonvested stock awards. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income,
after deducting dividends on convertible preferred shares when such shares are antidilutive and
similar adjustments for participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares
and common share
-7-
equivalents outstanding, giving effect to equity awards and convertible preferred shares, when such
awards and shares are dilutive. For calculation purposes the Series A and B preferred shares are
considered dilutive whenever basic earnings per common share exceeds each Series dividend divided
by the conversion rate applicable for that period. Nonvested stock awards that are deemed
participating securities are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, if
dilutive, under either the two class method or the treasury stock method, depending upon which
method produces the more dilutive result. Components of the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per common share were as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Includes unrealized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale,
if applicable (see NOTE 9) and an allowance for possible loan losses on commercial real estate
loans totaling $1.0 million and $281,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. |

Agency Securities carry an implied AAA rating and therefore limited credit risk. Residential
mortgage loans held by the Company were originated prior to 1995 when Capstead operated a mortgage
conduit and the related credit risk is borne by the Company. Commercial real estate loans are
subordinate loans that carry credit risk associated with specific commercial real estate
collateral. Collateral for structured financings consists of private residential mortgage
pass-through securities obtained through the above-mentioned mortgage conduit that are pledged to
secure securitizations. The related credit risk is borne by bondholders of the securitizations.
The maturity of mortgage securities is directly affected by the rate of
-9-
principal prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans. Consequently, the actual maturity of the
Companys mortgage securities will be significantly shorter than the portfolios 295 month weighted
average contractual maturity.
Fixed-rate investments are generally residential mortgage loans or Agency Securities backed by
mortgage loans with fixed rates of interest. Adjustable-rate investments generally are ARM Agency
Securities backed by residential mortgage loans that have coupon interest rates that adjust at
least annually to more current interest rates or begin doing so after an initial fixed-rate period.
After the initial fixed-rate period, if applicable, mortgage loans underlying ARM securities
either (i) adjust annually based on specified margins over the one-year Constant Maturity U.S.
Treasury Note Rate (CMT) or the one-year London interbank offered rate (LIBOR), (ii) adjust
semiannually based on specified margins over six-month LIBOR, or (iii) adjust monthly based on
specified margins over indexes such as one-month LIBOR or the Eleventh District Federal Reserve
Bank Cost of Funds Index, or over a rolling twelve month average of the one-year CMT index, usually
subject to periodic and lifetime limits on the amount of such adjustments during any single
interest rate adjustment period and over the contractual term of the loans.
The Company classifies its ARM securities based on each securitys average number of months until
coupon reset (months-to-roll). Current-reset ARM securities have a months-to-roll of 18 months
or less while longer-to-reset ARM securities have a months-to-roll of greater than 18 months. The
average months-to-roll for the $5.05 billion (basis) in current-reset ARM securities held by the
Company as of June 30, 2009 was 4.9 months compared to 30.7 months for the Companys $2.36 billion
(basis) in longer-to-reset ARM securities.
Commercial real estate loans at June 30, 2009 consisted of $5.7 million in subordinated loans to a
Dallas, Texas-based townhome developer expected to be repaid primarily through unit sales and $38.4
million in subordinated loans collateralized by the Four Seasons hotel in Nevis, West Indies that
matured October 9, 2008 and one week later was damaged by Hurricane Omar. The Nevis property has
wind and business interruption insurance coverage, which together with related reserves, should be
sufficient to repair the hotel for reopening in early 2010. In January 2009 the Company filed suit
against the loan servicer and a lien holder subordinate to Capstead to enforce the Companys rights
under the loan documents including, among other items, the right to be named the controlling holder
representing the lending group in reaching a resolution for the financing of this property.
Included in Receivables and other assets is $808,000 in accrued interest associated with these
investments and $855,000 of interest was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2008 after it was
determined that impairment conditions existed. In light of deteriorating commercial real estate
market conditions and the past due status of these loans, no interest was recognized during the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009
the Company recorded in Miscellaneous other revenue (expense) a $750,000 impairment charge
primarily as a result of slow sales of units collateralizing the townhome development loans. With
this charge, the Companys allowance for possible loan losses has been increased to $1.0 million.
Based on currently available information, no impairment charges were deemed appropriate at June 30,
2009 for the Nevis loan.
NOTE 5 INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
To facilitate the issuance of Unsecured borrowings, in September and December 2005 and in September
2006 Capstead formed and capitalized a series of three Delaware statutory trusts through the
issuance to the Company of the trusts common securities totaling $3.1 million (see NOTE 7). The
Companys equity in the earnings of the trusts consists solely of the common trust securities pro
rata share in interest accruing on Unsecured borrowings issued to the trusts.

NOTE 6 REPURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS AND SIMILAR
BORROWINGS, INCLUDING RELATED HEDGING ACTIVITY
Capstead generally pledges its Mortgage securities and similar investments as collateral under
uncommitted repurchase arrangements with commercial banks and other financial institutions, the
terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each
borrowing is initiated or renewed. Related borrowing rates are generally based on prevailing rates
corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Amounts available to be borrowed are dependent upon
the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest
rates, credit quality and liquidity conditions within the banking, mortgage finance and real estate
industries.
In response to declines in fair value of pledged securities, lenders may require the Company to
post additional collateral or pay down borrowings to re-establish agreed upon collateral
requirements, referred to as margin calls. The maturity of outstanding structured financings is
directly affected by the rate of principal prepayments on the related mortgage pass-through
securities pledged as collateral. In addition, structured financings are currently subject to
redemption by the residual bondholders.
Repurchase arrangements and similar borrowings, classified by type of collateral and maturities,
and related weighted average interest rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Average rate is presented as of the indicated balance sheet date and does not include
the effects of interest rate swap agreements held as cash flow hedges on a designated
portion of 30- to 90-day borrowings (see below). After giving effect to these cash flow
hedges, the average rate was 1.73% and 3.55% as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively. |
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, Capstead routinely made use of longer-dated repurchase
arrangements to effectively lock in financing spreads on a portion of its investments in
longer-to-reset ARM Agency Securities for a significant portion of the fixed-rate terms of these
investments. As of June 30, 2009, remaining longer-term committed borrowings consisted of a series
of repurchase arrangements totaling $557 million at an average interest rate of 5.17% maturing
within the next two months. Late in 2007 the Company began using two-year term, one- and
three-month LIBOR-indexed, pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements for this
purpose in lieu of longer-dated repurchase arrangements. As of June 30, 2009, the Companys swap
positions consisted of 19 swap agreements with three large commercial banks with notional amounts
totaling $2.40 billion at average fixed rates of 3.00% and average remaining terms of nine months,
including agreements with notional amounts totaling $900 million with average fixed rates of 4.03%
that terminate in November and December 2009; $800 million with average fixed rates of 2.84% that
terminate during the quarter ended March 31, 2010; $200 million with average fixed rates of 3.17%
that terminate during the quarter ended June 30, 2010; and $500 million with average fixed rates of
1.33% that terminate between January and May 2011.
-11-
All swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the underlying
benchmark interest rate of certain current and forecasted 30- to 90-day repurchase arrangements.
This hedge relationship in effect establishes a relatively stable fixed rate on the designated
borrowings with the variable-rate payments to be received on the swap agreements providing an
offset to interest accruing on the designated borrowings, leaving the fixed-rate payments to be
paid on the swap agreements as the Companys effective borrowing rate, subject to certain
adjustments including the effects of measured hedge ineffectiveness and the spread between variable
rates on the swap agreements and related actual borrowing rates. Disclosures related to these

The estimated amount of unrealized losses that will be recognized in the statement of

The Companys interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis
primarily using Level Two Inputs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS157), as amended. In determining
fair value
-12-
estimates for these agreements, the Company utilizes the standard methodology of netting the
discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts based on
expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company
also incorporates both its own nonperformance risk and its counterparties nonperformance risk as
applicable in determining the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements. In considering the
effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considered the impact of netting and credit
enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees, and has concluded that counterparty risk
is not significant to the overall valuation of these agreements.
NOTE 7 UNSECURED BORROWINGS
Unsecured borrowings consist of 30-year junior subordinated notes issued in 2006 and 2005 to three
special-purpose, statutory trusts. These unconsolidated affiliates of the Company were formed to
issue $3.1 million of the trusts common securities to Capstead and to privately place $100 million
of preferred securities with unrelated third party investors. Included in Receivables and other
assets are $2.7 million in remaining issue costs associated with these transactions. Note balances
and related weighted average interest rates as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (calculated
including issue cost amortization) were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The junior subordinated notes pay interest to the trusts quarterly calculated at fixed rates of
8.19% to 8.685% for ten years from issuance and subsequently at prevailing three-month LIBOR rates
plus 3.30% to 3.50% for 20 years, reset quarterly. The trusts remit dividends pro rata to the
common and preferred trust securities based on the same terms as the subordinated notes provided
that payments on the trusts common securities are subordinate to payments on the related preferred
securities. The Capstead Mortgage Trust I notes and trust securities mature in October 2035 and
are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the Companys option anytime on or after
October 30, 2010. The Capstead Mortgage Trust II notes and trust securities mature in December
2035 and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the Companys option anytime on
or after December 15, 2015. The Capstead Mortgage Trust III notes and trust securities mature in
September 2036 and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the Companys option
anytime on or after September 15, 2016. The weighted average effective interest rate for Unsecured
borrowings (calculated including issue cost amortization) was 8.49% during the quarter ended June
30, 2009.
NOTE 8 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) is net income plus other comprehensive income (loss). Other
comprehensive income (loss) currently consists of the change in unrealized gain on mortgage
securities classified as available-for-sale and amounts related to Derivatives held as cash flow
hedges. As of June 30, 2009, the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of
Stockholders equity consisted of $136.8 million in net unrealized gains on mortgage securities
held available-for-sale, $28.7 million in net unrealized losses on Derivatives held as cash flow
hedges and the $723,000 amortized balance of a realized loss offset by $48,000 in realized gains,
both related to terminated cash flow hedges.

NOTE 9 DISCLOSURES REGARDING FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following tables and related discussion provide fair value disclosures as of the indicated
balance sheet dates for Capsteads financial assets and liabilities, most of which are influenced
by changes in, and market expectations for changes in, interest rates and market liquidity
conditions, as well as other factors beyond the control of management. Excluded from these
disclosures are financial instruments for which the Companys cost basis is deemed to approximate
fair value due primarily to the short duration of these instruments, including Cash and cash
equivalents, Cash collateral receivable from interest rate swap counterparties, receivables,
payables and borrowings under repurchase arrangements with initial terms of 90 days or less.
The Companys holdings of residential mortgage securities, nearly all of which are classified as
held available-for-sale, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level Two Inputs in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS157. In determining fair value estimates for mortgage
securities the Company considers recent trading activity for similar investments and pricing levels
indicated by lenders in connection with designating collateral for repurchase arrangements,
provided such pricing levels are considered indicative of actual market clearing transactions.
These fair value estimates are influenced by changes in, and market expectations for changes in,
interest rates and market liquidity conditions, as well as other factors beyond the control of
management.
Fair values for commercial real estate loans are estimated using valuation techniques that involve
uncertainties and are affected by assumptions used and judgments made regarding risk
characteristics, discount rates, future cash flows, future loss expectations, and other factors.
The Company discounted future cash flows in estimating fair value of its commercial loans at 25%.
Fair values of borrowings under repurchase arrangements with initial terms of greater than 90 days
and Unsecured borrowings are estimated based on offer prices for similar financial instruments or
market positions (Level Two Inputs). See NOTE 6 for information relative to the valuation of
interest rate swap agreements.

Managing a leveraged portfolio of primarily ARM Agency Securities is the core focus of Capsteads
investment strategy and management expects these securities will be held until payoff absent a
major shift in the Companys investment focus. Declines in fair value caused by increases in
interest rates are typically modest for investments in relatively short-duration ARM Agency
Securities compared to investments in longer-duration, fixed-rate assets. These declines are
generally recoverable in a relatively short period of time as the coupon interest rates on the
underlying mortgage loans reset to rates more reflective of the then current interest rate
environment allowing for the potential recovery of financing spreads diminished during periods of
rising interest rates.
From a credit risk perspective, the real or implied federal government guarantee associated with
Agency Securities, particularly in light of the September 2008 conservatorship of the GSEs and
other government support for these entities, helps ensure that fluctuations in value due to credit
risk associated with these securities will be limited. Additionally, this support for the GSEs and
other government actions to support the global financial system and improve market conditions has
dramatically improved market
-15-
liquidity for leveraged holders of Agency Securities compared to conditions existing late in 2008
in the aftermath of the Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. bankruptcy. Given that (a) any existing
unrealized losses on mortgage securities held by the Company are not attributable to credit risk,
(b) the Company typically holds its investments to maturity, and (c) it is more likely than not
that the Company will not be required to sell any of its investments, none of these investments are
considered other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008 the Company sold Agency Securities classified as
available-for-sale with a cost basis of $768 million recognizing a loss of $1.4 million (gross
realized losses of $2.7 million, and gross realized gains of $1.3 million) included in
Miscellaneous other revenue (expense). No asset sales occurred during the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2009.
NOTE 10 COMPENSATION PROGRAMS
The compensation committee of Capsteads board of directors administers all compensation programs
for officers and employees including salaries, annual incentive compensation and long-term
equity-based awards, as well as other benefit programs.
Performance-based Cash Compensation Program to Augment Base Salaries
To augment base salaries of certain executive officers, in 2008 the committee implemented a
performance-based cash compensation program that provides for payments equal to the per share
dividend declared on the Companys common stock multiplied by a notional amount of non-vesting or
phantom common shares (Dividend Equivalents). Dividend Equivalents are not attached to any
stock or option awards and only have the right to receive the same cash distributions as the
Companys common stockholders are entitled to receive during the term of the grants, subject to
certain conditions, including continuous service. In implementing this program, initial Dividend
Equivalents for 225,000 phantom common shares with terms ending on July 1, 2012 were granted to
certain executive officers in 2008. On July 14, 2009, these officers received additional grants
for 225,000 phantom common shares with terms ending July 1, 2012. During the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized in General and administrative expense $131,000
and $257,000 related to this program, respectively.
Annual Incentive Compensation
To provide officers and employees with an appropriate performance-based annual incentive
compensation opportunity, each year the committee approves an incentive formula to create an
incentive pool equal to a percentage participation in the Companys earnings in excess of a
pre-established performance threshold. The committee has complete discretion with respect to the
amount to be distributed from the pool, including its allocation between executive officers and
other employees. Approved distributions are typically made subsequent to year-end. The committee
used its discretion to limit the total amount of annual incentive compensation awarded for the year
ended December 31, 2008 to $6 million.
For 2009 the committee modified the formula for determining the incentive pool and established a
guideline for determining the maximum amount available to be paid in any single year equal to 50
basis points multiplied by average long-term investment capital, as defined. For purposes of the
2009 calculation, the incentive pool will equal a 10% participation in annual earnings (defined
as Net income excluding Incentive compensation expense, any gain or loss from portfolio
restructurings and interest on Unsecured borrowings, net of equity in the earnings of related
statutory trusts reflected in the balance sheet as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates) in
excess of a benchmark amount based on average long-term investment capital (defined as Unsecured
borrowings, net of related investments in statutory trusts and average Stockholders equity,
excluding Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), incentive compensation accruals, any gain
or loss from portfolio restructurings and interest on Unsecured
-16-
borrowings, net of equity in the earnings of related statutory trusts) multiplied by the greater of
8.00% or the average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 200 basis points. During the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized Incentive compensation expense of $1,243,000 and
$2,377,000, respectively; the accrual for which is included in Accounts payable and accrued
expenses.
Long-term Equity-based Awards
The Company sponsors equity-based award plans to provide for the issuance of stock awards, option
awards and other long-term equity-based awards to directors and employees (collectively, the
Plans). As of June 30, 2009, the Plans had 1,608,549 common shares remaining available for
future issuance.
Service-based stock awards issued to directors and employees that vest in annual installments in
2009 and future years, subject to certain restrictions (principally continuous service), were as
follows as of June 30, 2009:

In 2008, the Company began implementing a performance-based stock award program in lieu of its
previous practice of issuing service-based awards to employees. In December 2008 the first grants
totaling 140,658 common shares were issued to employees (grant date fair value $10.18). The first
50% of these awards vest provided certain performance criteria pertaining to a three-year
measurement period ending December 31, 2011 are met. The remaining 50% vests provided performance
criteria pertaining to a three-year measurement period ending December 31, 2012 are met. If the
performance criteria are not met at the end of a three-year measurement period, vesting will be
deferred and a new three-year measurement period will be established to include the subsequent
year, up to and including the year 2015. Any remaining unvested awards will expire if the
performance criteria for the final three-year measurement period ending December 31, 2015 are not
met. The performance criteria establishes an annualized threshold return on the Companys
long-term investment capital, subject to certain adjustments, of the greater of 8.0% or the average
10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 200 basis points that must be exceeded for the awards to vest.

Option awards currently outstanding have contractual terms and vesting requirements at the grant
date of up to ten years and generally have been issued with strike prices equal to the quoted
market prices of the Companys common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of each option
award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company
estimates option exercises,
-17-
expected holding periods and forfeitures based on past experience and current expectations for
option performance and employee or director attrition. Risk-free rates are based on market rates
for the expected life of the option. Expected dividends are based on historical experience and
expectations for future performance. Expected volatility factors are based on historical
experience.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized in General and
administrative expense $265,000 and $562,000 related to stock awards, respectively. Unrecognized
compensation expense for unvested stock awards totaled $3.2 million as of June 30, 2009, to be
expensed over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
Stock options issued to directors and employees that vest in annual installments in 2009 and future
years, subject to certain restrictions (principally continuous service), were as follows as of June

over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.
Other Benefit Programs
Capstead sponsors a qualified defined contribution retirement plan for all employees and a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain of its officers. In general the Company
matches up to 50% of a participants voluntary contribution up to a maximum of 6% of a
participants compensation and discretionary contributions of up to another 3% of compensation
regardless of participation in the plans. Company contributions are subject to certain vesting
requirements. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized in
General and administrative expense $85,000 and $195,000 related to contributions to these plans,
respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Capstead Mortgage Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, Capstead or the Company)
operates as a self-managed real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes (a REIT)
and is based in Dallas, Texas. Capstead earns income from investing in a leveraged portfolio of
residential mortgage pass-through securities consisting almost exclusively of adjustable-rate
mortgage (ARM) securities issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored entities, either Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac (the GSEs), or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae.
Agency-guaranteed mortgage securities (Agency Securities), carry an implied AAA rating with
limited, if any, credit risk. Management believes this strategy can produce attractive
risk-adjusted returns over the long term while substantially eliminating credit risk and reducing,
but not eliminating, sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Capstead typically finances its investments with its long-term investment capital, which consists
of common stockholders equity together with $179 million of perpetual preferred stockholders
equity (recorded amount) and $100 million of long-term unsecured borrowings (net of related
investments in statutory trusts) supported by its borrowings under repurchase arrangements with
commercial banks and other financial institutions. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the
Companys long-term investment capital increased by $156 million to $1.02 billion, primarily
because of increases in the fair value of the Companys holdings of Agency Securities. Pricing for
Agency Securities has benefited from efforts by the federal government to support lower mortgage
interest rates and improve overall liquidity in the residential mortgage market. This contributed
to a decline in portfolio leverage (borrowings under repurchase arrangements divided by long-term
investment capital) from 7.85 to one at year-end to 6.63 to one at the end of the second quarter.
The Companys mortgage securities and similar investments portfolio totaled $7.61 billion at June
30, 2009, an increase of $106 million from year-end.
Capstead earned $43 million and $85 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to $37 million and $67 million during the same periods in 2008 primarily as a result of
increased total financing spreads (the difference between yields on the Companys interest-earning
assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities). Total financing spreads averaged 231 basis
points during the current quarter, compared to 193 basis points during the same period in 2008,
benefiting from significantly lower borrowing rates primarily attributable to lower short-term
interest rates.
The size and composition of Capsteads investment portfolio depends on investment strategies being
implemented by management, the availability of investment capital as well as overall market
conditions, including the availability of attractively priced investments and suitable financing to
appropriately leverage the Companys investment capital. Market conditions are influenced by,
among other things, current levels of, and expectations for future levels of, short-term interest
rates, mortgage prepayments and market liquidity.
Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Policies
Under the captions Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Policies are discussions of risk
factors and critical accounting policies affecting Capsteads financial condition and earnings that
are an integral part of this discussion and analysis. Readers are strongly urged to consider the
potential impact of these factors and accounting policies on the Company and its financial results
while reading this document.
-20-
Capital Raising Activity
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 Capstead issued 456,000 and 687,000 common
shares at average prices of $12.79 and $12.42 per share ($12.64 and $12.28 per share, net of
expenses), respectively, under the Companys continuous offering program. These issuances raised
$6 million and $8 million in new common equity capital, after underwriting discounts and offering
expenses, respectively. Subsequent to quarter-end (through August 6, 2009) the Company has raised
an additional $15 million under this program through the issuance of 1.2 million common shares at
an average price of $12.93 per share ($12.80 per share, net of expenses). The Company may raise
more capital in future periods, subject to market conditions and blackout periods associated with
the dissemination of earnings and dividend announcements and other important company-specific news.
Book Value per Common Share
Nearly all of Capsteads mortgage investments and all of its interest rate swap agreements are
reflected at fair value on the Companys balance sheet and are therefore included in the
calculation of book value per common share. The fair value of these positions is impacted by
market conditions, including changes in interest rates, and the availability of financing at
reasonable rates and leverage levels. The Companys investment strategy attempts to mitigate these
risks by focusing almost exclusively on investments in Agency Securities, which are considered to
have little, if any, credit risk and are collateralized by ARM loans that have interest rates that
reset periodically to more current levels. Because of these characteristics, the fair value of
Capsteads portfolio is considerably less vulnerable to significant pricing declines caused by
credit concerns or rising interest rates compared to portfolios that contain a significant amount
of non-agency and/or fixed-rate mortgage securities of any type, which generally results in a more
stable book value per common share. As of June 30, 2009, Capsteads book value per common share
(total stockholders equity, less liquidation preferences of the Companys Series A and B preferred
shares, divided by common shares outstanding) was $11.48, an increase of $2.34 from December 31,
2008. The following table progresses book value per common share for the periods indicated:

Residential Mortgage Investments
Managing a large portfolio of residential mortgage investments consisting primarily of ARM Agency
Securities is the core focus of Capsteads investment strategy. As of June 30, 2009, residential
mortgage investments totaled $7.56 billion, consisting of over 99% ARM Agency Securities. This
compares with residential mortgage investments totaling $7.46 billion as of December 31, 2008.
Non-agency-guaranteed residential mortgage investments held by Capstead were limited to $17 million
as of June 30, 2009 consisting of well-seasoned, low loan-to-value mortgage loans remaining from a
conduit operation operated by the Company in the early 1990s. The Company holds the related
credit risk associated with $13 million of these loans, and the remainder of these investments are
held as collateral for structured financings whereby the related credit risk is borne by the
securitizations bondholders.
-21-
Agency Securities carry an implied AAA rating with limited, if any, credit risk because the timely
payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by the GSEs, which are federally chartered
corporations, or an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae. The September 2008
conservatorship of the GSEs by their federal regulator, and related capital commitments to the GSEs
made by the U.S. Treasury, have served to largely alleviate market concerns regarding the ability
of the GSEs to fulfill their guarantee obligations. By focusing on investing in relatively
short-duration ARM Agency Securities, declines in fair value caused by increases in interest rates
are typically relatively modest compared to investments in longer-duration, fixed-rate assets.
These declines are generally recoverable in a relatively short period of time as the coupon
interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans reset to rates more reflective of the then current
interest rate environment allowing for the potential recovery of financing spreads diminished
during periods of rising interest rates.
ARM securities are backed by residential mortgage loans that have coupon interest rates that adjust
at least annually to more current interest rates or begin doing so after an initial fixed-rate
period. After the initial fixed-rate period, if applicable, mortgage loans underlying ARM
securities either (i) adjust annually based on specified margins over the one-year Constant
Maturity U.S. Treasury Note Rate (CMT) or the one-year London interbank offered rate (LIBOR),
(ii) adjust semiannually based on specified margins over six-month LIBOR, or (iii) adjust monthly
based on specified margins over indexes such as one-month LIBOR or the Eleventh District Federal
Reserve Bank Cost of Funds Index, or over a rolling twelve month average of the one-year CMT index,
usually subject to periodic and lifetime limits on the amount of such adjustments during any single
interest rate adjustment period and over the contractual term of the loans. The Company classifies
its ARM securities based on each securitys average number of months until coupon reset
(months-to-roll). Current-reset ARM securities have a months-to-roll of 18 months or less while
longer-to-reset ARM securities have a months-to-roll of greater than 18 months. As of June 30,
2009, the Companys ARM securities featured the following characteristics (dollars in thousands):

Basis represents the Companys investment (unpaid principal balance plus unamortized
investment premium) before unrealized gains and losses. As of June 30, 2009, the ratio of
basis to related unpaid principal balance for the Companys ARM securities was 101.24. This
table excludes $9 million in fixed-rate Agency Securities, $5 million in fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans and $4 million in private residential mortgage pass-through
securities held as collateral for structured financings. |
|
(b) |
|
Net WAC, or weighted average coupon, is presented net of servicing and other fees and
as such, represents the cash yield earned by the Company before amortization of investment
premiums. Fully indexed WAC represents the coupon upon one or more resets using interest rate
indexes as of June 30, 2009 and the applicable net margin. |
Capstead typically finances its current-reset ARM securities using 30-day borrowings under
uncommitted repurchase arrangements with commercial banks and other financial institutions that are
re-established monthly, although terms on a portion of these borrowings may be extended at times to
manage market liquidity conditions or to take advantage of attractive terms. Interest rates on
these borrowings are based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Prior
to the market turmoil that began
-22-
in August 2007, the Company used longer-dated repurchase arrangements to effectively lock in
financing spreads on investments in longer-to-reset ARM securities for a significant portion of the
fixed-rate terms of these investments. The Companys borrowings under repurchase arrangements as
of June 30, 2009 consisted of $6.17 billion of primarily 30-day borrowings with 16 counterparties
at average rates of 0.48% and $557 million of longer-term repurchase arrangements entered into in
2007 with two counterparties at average rates of 5.17% that mature by August 2009.
In November 2007 the Company began using two-year term, one- and three-month LIBOR-indexed,
pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements entered into with three large commercial
banks in lieu of longer-term borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements held
by Capstead as of June 30, 2009, the Company pays fixed rates of interest averaging 3.00% on
notional amounts totaling $2.40 billion with an average maturity of nine months, including
agreements with notional amounts totaling $900 million and average fixed rates of 4.03% that
terminate in November and December 2009 and $800 million with average fixed rates of 2.84% that
terminate during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Variable payments received by the Company under
these agreements provide an offset to interest accruing on a like amount of the Companys 30- to
90-day borrowings leaving the fixed-rate payments to be paid on the swap agreements as the
Companys effective borrowing rate, subject to certain adjustments including the effects of
measured hedge ineffectiveness and the spread between variable rates on the swap agreements and
related actual borrowing rates. The Company intends to continue to manage interest rate risk
associated with holdings of longer-to-reset ARM securities by utilizing suitable derivative
financial instruments (Derivatives) such as interest rate swap agreements as well as longer-dated
committed borrowings if available at attractive terms.
In response to deteriorating market conditions experienced the latter part of 2007 and in 2008,
Capstead reduced its portfolio leverage during those periods by raising a significant amount of new
common equity capital, selling a limited amount of Agency Securities and, when appropriate,
curtailing the replacement of portfolio runoff. In addition, the Company increased the number of
lending counterparties with which it uses on a regular basis. During 2009, the Company resumed its
usual practice of replacing portfolio runoff and experienced a significant increase in the fair
value of its portfolio. Year-to-date, acquisitions (consisting primarily of current-reset ARM
Agency Securities) totaled $599 million in principal amount with a net WAC of 4.58% and a purchase
yield of 3.17%, while portfolio runoff totaled $617 million in principal amount. Combined with a
$127 million improvement in pricing of Agency Securities classified as available-for-sale, the
Companys holdings of residential mortgage investments increased $106 million in 2009. Total
portfolio runoff declined to an average annualized rate of 16.5% during the second quarter compared
to an average rate of 18.4% throughout 2008. This reflects the pronounced contraction seen in
residential mortgage lending, largely because of national trends toward declining home values and
tighter mortgage loan underwriting standards. Since Capstead typically purchases investments at a
premium to the assets unpaid principal balance, high levels of mortgage prepayments can put
downward pressure on ARM security yields because the level of mortgage prepayments impacts how
quickly investment premiums are written off against earnings as portfolio yield adjustments.
Commercial Real Estate-related Assets
In prior years Capstead periodically augmented its core investment strategy with investments in
credit-sensitive commercial real estate-related assets that could earn attractive risk-adjusted
returns. Over the years these alternative investments have included a portfolio of net-leased
senior living centers as well as commercial mortgage securities and subordinated loans supported by
interests in commercial real estate; however, the overall level of capital committed to these
investments has been relatively modest. In light of overall credit market conditions, in 2008
management concluded that it will not pursue additional investments in commercial real
estate-related assets in order to focus its efforts on the Companys core portfolio of ARM Agency
Securities.
-23-
As of June 30, 2009, Capsteads remaining investments in commercial real estate-related assets
consisted of $6 million in subordinated loans to a Dallas, Texas-based townhome developer expected
to be repaid primarily through unit sales, and $38 million in subordinated loans collateralized by
the Four Seasons hotel in Nevis, West Indies that matured October 9, 2008 and one week later was
damaged by Hurricane Omar. Included in receivables and other assets is $808,000 in accrued
interest associated with these investments. The Nevis property has wind and business interruption
insurance coverage, which together with related reserves, should be sufficient to repair the hotel
for reopening in early 2010. In January 2009 the Company filed suit against the loan servicer and
a lien holder subordinate to Capstead, to enforce its rights under the loan documents including,
among other items, the right to be named the controlling holder representing the lending group in
reaching a resolution for the financing of this property.
In light of deteriorating commercial real estate market conditions and the past due status of these
loans, no interest was recognized during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded a $750,000 impairment
charge primarily as a result of slow sales of units collateralizing the townhome development loans.
With this charge, the Companys allowance for possible loan losses has been increased to
$1,031,000. Based on currently available information, no impairment charges were deemed
appropriate at June 30, 2009 for the Nevis loan.
Utilization of Long-term Investment Capital and Potential Liquidity
Capstead finances a majority of its holdings of residential mortgage securities with commercial
banks and other financial institutions using borrowings under repurchase arrangements supported by
the Companys long-term investment capital. Assuming potential liquidity is available, borrowings
under repurchase agreements generally can be increased or decreased on a daily basis to meet cash
flow requirements and otherwise manage capital resources efficiently. Consequently, the Companys
potential liquidity inherent in its investment portfolios is as important as the actual level of
cash and cash equivalents carried on the balance sheet. Potential liquidity is affected by, among
other things, real (or perceived) changes in market value of assets pledged; principal prepayments;
collateral requirements of the Companys lenders; and general conditions in the commercial banking
and mortgage finance industries. Future levels of portfolio leverage will be dependent upon many
factors, including the size and composition of the Companys investment portfolio (see Liquidity
and Capital Resources.) Capsteads utilization of long-term investment capital and its estimated
potential liquidity were as follows as of June 30, 2009 in comparison with December 31, 2008 (in
thousands):

Investments are stated at carrying amounts on the Companys balance sheets. Potential
liquidity is based on maximum amounts of borrowings available under existing uncommitted
repurchase arrangements considering managements estimate of the fair value of related
collateral as of the indicated dates adjusted for other sources (uses) of liquidity such as
cash and cash equivalents and dividends payable. |

In order to prudently and efficiently manage its liquidity and capital resources, Capstead
attempts to maintain sufficient liquidity reserves to fund margin calls (requirements to pledge
additional collateral or pay down borrowings), including margin calls resulting from monthly
principal payments (that are not remitted to the Company for 20 to 45 days after any given
month-end), as well as anticipated declines in the market value of pledged assets under stressed
market conditions.
In response to deteriorating market conditions experienced the latter part of 2007 and in 2008,
Capstead reduced its portfolio leverage during these periods by raising new common equity capital,
selling a limited amount of mortgage securities, and, when appropriate, curtailing the replacement
of portfolio runoff. As a result of these efforts, the Company lowered its portfolio leverage from
11.50 to one at June 30, 2007 to 7.85 to one by December 31, 2008. Portfolio leverage declined
further to 6.63 to one by June 30, 2009, primarily due to higher portfolio pricing since year-end.
Together with maintaining higher than usual cash balances and expanding the number of lending
counterparties with whom the Company routinely does business, these steps have increased the
Companys financial flexibility to address challenging market conditions. Management currently
believes it is appropriate to maintain the Companys leverage below the low end of its targeted
range of eight to 12 times long-term investment capital and will take actions similar to those
described above in order to maintain sufficient financial flexibility should market conditions
warrant.
Recent Accounting Developments
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position EITF 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). This Staff Position affects entities that accrue cash dividends
on share-based payment awards during the awards service period when the dividends do not need to
be returned if any holder forfeits an award. The FASB concluded that unvested share-based payment
awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are participating securities (i.e. the
holders participate in dividends with common stockholders) and must be included in computing basic
and diluted earnings per share, if dilutive. FSP EITF 03-6-1 became effective for financial
statements beginning January 1, 2009 and requires an entity to retroactively adjust all prior
period earnings per share computations to reflect its provisions. Adopting FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2009, Capstead adopted FASB Staff Position FAS140-3 Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP140-3). Under FSP140-3, certain
seller-financed acquisitions of mortgage investments entered into after December 31, 2008 will not
qualify as acquisitions if the related borrowings under repurchase arrangements are considered
sufficiently linked to the acquisition transaction. Any such seller-financed acquisitions that are
deemed to be sufficiently linked will generally be reported net of related financings at fair value
with related changes in fair value reported in earnings until such time as the assets are no longer
financed with the sellers. No such linked acquisitions have occurred during the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2009; therefore, implementing FSP140-3 has not had any impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three concurrent Staff Positions: (i) Staff Position No. FAS 115-2
and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP115-2),
(ii) Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for an Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly (FSP157-4) and (iii) Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP107-1). FSP115-2 provides additional guidance for
accounting for other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities. In addition to existing
guidance, under FSP115-2 an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist if an entity does
not expect to recover
-25-
the entire amortized cost basis of a debt security. FSP115-2 provides for the bifurcation of
other-than-temporary impairments into (i) amounts related to credit losses, which are recognized
through earnings, and (ii) amounts related to all other factors, which are recognized as a
component of Other comprehensive income (loss). Further, FSP115-2 requires certain additional
disclosures for debt securities. FSP157-4 provides additional guidance for fair value measures
under FAS157 in determining if the market for an asset or liability is inactive and, accordingly,
if quoted market prices may not be indicative of fair value. FSP107-1 extends existing annual
financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements to interim periods.
All three of these Staff Positions are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and are
required to be implemented concurrently. Accordingly, Capstead adopted these Staff Positions on
April 1, 2009. The adoption did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS165). FAS165 modifies
the definition of what qualifies as a subsequent event those events or transactions that occur
following the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available
to be issued and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. FAS165 is effective for periods ending
after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, Capstead adopted the standard for the quarter ended June 30,
2009. The adoption of FAS165 did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has
reviewed events that have occurred after June 30, 2009, up until the time of issuance of the
financial statements on August 6, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
(FAS167). Among other items, FAS167 responds to concerns about the application of certain key
provisions of FIN 46(R), including those regarding the transparency of the involvement with
variable interest entities. FAS167 is effective for calendar year companies beginning on January
1, 2010. The Company believes the potential impact of adopting FAS167 will be limited to the
accounting treatment afforded its commercial mortgage investments. At this time the actual impact,
if any, on the accounting for these investments and therefore the impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements has not been determined.

Capsteads net income totaled $43 million and $85 million during the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $37 million and $67 million during the same periods
in 2008 primarily as a result of increased net interest margins and financing spreads on mortgage
securities and similar investments and other interest-earning assets. Net interest margins and
financing spreads improved as declines in interest income and portfolio yields resulting from lower
prevailing interest rates were more than offset by the effects of lower borrowing rates. Portfolio
leverage declined from 7.85 to one at year-end to 6.63 to one by June 30, 2009 primarily as a
result of significant increases in the fair value of the Companys portfolio during 2009. This
compares to portfolio leverage of 9.84 to one at the beginning of 2008 that was reduced to 8.14 to
one at June 30, 2008 primarily through capital raising activity and asset sales.
Total financing spreads averaged 231 and 224 basis points during the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to 193 and 178 basis points during the same periods in 2008, having
benefited from lower borrowing rates primarily attributable to lower short-term interest rates
prevailing during 2009. Average portfolio yields were 99 and 102 basis points lower during the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 reflecting (a)
lower yields on existing portfolio as coupon interest rates on the underlying mortgage loans
continued resetting to rates more reflective of the current rate environment, (b) lower market
yields on acquisitions and (c) the curtailment of interest accruals on commercial mortgage
investments. In addition, yields were impacted by lower yields on overnight investments and cash
collateral receivables from swap counterparties also reflecting lower prevailing short-term
interest rates. Mitigating these declines in yields were slower mortgage prepayments reflecting
the pronounced contraction seen in residential mortgage lending, largely because of national trends
toward declining home values and tighter loan underwriting standards. Since Capstead typically
purchases investments at a premium to the assets unpaid principal balance, the level of mortgage
prepayments impacts how quickly these investment premiums are written off against earnings as yield
adjustments.
Average borrowing rates on interest-bearing liabilities declined 137 and 148 basis points during
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008. Approximately
$2.94 billion and $3.04 billion of the Companys average borrowings during the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2009 were relatively stable in terms of rate because of the use of interest
rate swap agreements and longer-dated repurchase arrangements to effectively lock in financing
spreads on investments in longer-to-reset ARM securities for a significant portion of the
fixed-rate terms of these investments. On a combined basis, rates on the Companys swap positions
and longer-dated repurchase arrangements averaged 3.47% and 3.59% during these periods in 2009,
respectively. Corresponding amounts in 2008 were $3.20 billion and $3.08 billion and 4.20% and
4.26%, respectively. The remainder of the Companys borrowings under repurchase arrangements
typically reset in rate every 30 to 90 days as they are re-established at prevailing rates
corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Rates on these borrowings averaged 0.59% and 0.84%
during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2.49% and 3.11% during the same
periods in 2008, benefiting from efforts by the Federal Reserve to support the economy and the
credit markets by lowering its federal funds target rate from 5.25% in early September 2007 to
2.00% by June 30, 2008 and to its current target range of from zero to 0.25% in December 2008.
Miscellaneous other revenue (expense) during the current quarter includes a $750,000 impairment
charge necessitated primarily by slower than anticipated sales of collateral backing townhome
development loans. As part of its efforts in 2008 to reduce portfolio leverage in the face of
contracting market liquidity conditions, during March 2008 the Company sold ARM Agency Securities
with a cost basis of $768 million for a relatively modest loss from portfolio restructurings.
-28-
Incentive compensation expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 relates to the
Companys annual incentive compensation program. For 2009 the compensation committee of the board
modified the incentive compensation formula to, among other things, establish a guideline for
determining a maximum amount available to be paid in any single year. As modified, the program
provides for a 10% participation in annual earnings, as adjusted, in excess of a benchmark amount
based on average long-term investment capital, after certain adjustments, multiplied by the greater
of 8.0% or the average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 200 basis points and subject to a maximum
amount equal to 50 basis points of average long-term investment capital, as defined. A similar
formula used in establishing annual incentive compensation in 2008 did not feature a guideline for
a maximum amount to be paid. In September 2008, the committee used its discretion to limit the
amount of annual incentive compensation to be awarded in 2008 to $6 million. See NOTE 10 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Companys
compensation programs.
General and administrative expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 increased
over the same periods in 2008 primarily as a result of higher compensation and professional
service-related costs in large part due to expansion of the Companys capital base and operating
platform over the past two years, as well as adjustments made in the Companys compensation
programs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capsteads primary sources of funds are borrowings under repurchase arrangements and monthly
principal and interest payments on its investments. Other sources of funds may include proceeds
from debt and equity offerings and asset sales. The Company generally uses its liquidity to pay
down borrowings under repurchase arrangements to reduce borrowing costs and otherwise efficiently
manage its long-term investment capital. Because the level of these borrowings can generally be
adjusted on a daily basis, the Companys potential liquidity available under its borrowing
arrangements is as important as the level of cash and cash equivalents carried on the balance
sheet. The table included under Financial Condition Utilization of Long-term Investment
Capital and Potential Liquidity and accompanying discussion illustrates managements estimate of
additional funds potentially available to the Company as of June 30, 2009 and its perspective on
the appropriate level of portfolio leverage to employ under current market conditions. The Company
currently believes that it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources available for the
acquisition of additional investments when considered appropriate, repayments on borrowings and the
payment of cash dividends as required for Capsteads continued qualification as a REIT. It is the
Companys policy to remain strongly capitalized and conservatively leveraged.
In response to the growth of Capsteads residential mortgage investments portfolio and to turbulent
market conditions experienced in the recent past, the Company has pursued additional lending
counterparties in order to further increase its financial flexibility and ability to withstand
periods of contracting market liquidity. Currently the Company has uncommitted repurchase
facilities with a variety of lending counterparties to finance its portfolio, subject to certain
conditions, and had borrowings outstanding with 17 of these counterparties as of June 30, 2009, up
from ten in September 2007. Borrowings under repurchase arrangements secured by residential
mortgage investments totaled $6.74 billion as of June 30, 2009, including $6.17 billion with
maturities of 30 to 90 days. The remaining $557 million of these borrowings consisted of a series
of longer-term repurchase arrangements entered into prior to September 2007 that mature by the end
of August 2009. Interest rates on borrowings under repurchase arrangements are generally based on
prevailing rates at inception corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. All terms and
conditions are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Amounts available to be borrowed
under these arrangements are dependent upon the willingness of lenders to participate in the
financing of Agency Securities, lender collateral requirements and the lenders determination of
the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest
rates and liquidity conditions within the commercial banking and mortgage finance industries.
-29-
Late in 2007 Capstead began using two-year term, one- and three-month LIBOR-indexed, pay-fixed,
receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements to effectively lock in fixed rates on a portion of
its 30- to 90-day borrowings supporting investments in longer-to-reset ARM securities because
longer-term committed borrowings were no longer available at attractive terms. As of June 30, 2009
these swap agreements had notional amounts totaling $2.40 billion with an average maturity of nine
months and were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes of a like amount of the
Companys 30-day borrowings. The Company intends to continue to manage interest rate risk
associated with holdings of longer-to-reset ARM securities by utilizing suitable Derivatives such
as interest rate swap agreements.
In February 2008 Capstead completed its third public offering since October 2007 raising nearly
$127 million in new common equity capital, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. In
addition, during the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company raised $154 million, after expenses,
in new common equity capital under its continuous offering program. Continuous offering program
issuances during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $6 million and $8 million,
respectively. An additional $15 million was raised under this program subsequent to quarter-end
(through August 6, 2009). The Company may raise additional equity capital in future periods.
Interest Rate Sensitivity on Operating Results
Capstead performs income sensitivity analysis using an income simulation model to estimate the
effects that specific interest rate changes can reasonably be expected to have on future earnings.
All investments, borrowings and Derivatives held are included in this analysis. The sensitivity of
components of other revenue (expense) to changes in interest rates is included as well, although no
asset sales are assumed. The model incorporates managements assumptions regarding the level of
mortgage prepayments for a given interest rate change using market-based estimates of prepayment
speeds for the purpose of amortizing investment premiums. These assumptions are developed through a
combination of historical analysis and expectations for future pricing behavior under normal market
conditions unaffected by changes in market liquidity. Capstead had the following estimated income
sensitivity profile as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates is calculated based on actual rates
on the indicated dates. Projected 12-month earnings changes are predicated on acquisitions of
similar assets sufficient to replace runoff. There can be no assurance that suitable
investments will be available for purchase at attractive prices or if investments made will
behave in the same fashion as assets currently held. |
Income simulation modeling is the primary tool used by management to assess the direction and
magnitude of changes in net interest margins on investments resulting solely from changes in
interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include mortgage prepayment rates, adequate levels of
market liquidity, changes in market conditions, portfolio leverage levels, and managements
investment capital plans. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model
cannot precisely estimate net interest margins or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower
interest rates on net interest margins. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to
timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and other changes in market conditions,
management strategies and other factors.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in securities issued by Capstead involves various risks. An investor should carefully
consider the following risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this
document before purchasing the Companys securities. The risks discussed herein can adversely
affect the Companys business, liquidity, operating results, financial condition and future
prospects, causing the market price of the Companys securities to decline, which could cause an
investor to lose all or part of his/her investment. The risk factors described below are not the
only risks that may affect the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
the Company also may adversely affect its business, liquidity, operating results, prospects and
financial condition.
Risks Related to Capsteads Business
Potential changes in the relationship between the federal government and the GSEs could negatively
affect Capsteads financial condition and earnings. Agency Securities have an implied AAA rating
because the timely payment of principal and interest on these securities are guaranteed by the
GSEs, or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae. Only the guarantee by Ginnie Mae is
explicitly backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. As a result of the
current housing downturn, the GSEs have reported substantial losses in recent quarters leading to
concerns regarding their ability to fulfill their guarantee obligations. The conservatorship of
the GSEs on September 7, 2008 by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and commitments made by the
federal government to provide substantial financial backing in the form of preferred equity capital
and temporary secured lending facilities, helped to alleviate these concerns. These and other
steps being taken by the federal government, including the purchase of Agency Securities by the
U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve, are designed to support market stability and mortgage
availability by providing additional confidence to investors in Agency Securities during the
current housing correction. There can be no assurance that the federal governments support for
the GSEs and the market for Agency Securities will be adequate to achieve these goals. In
addition, the timing of purchases (and any subsequent sales) of Agency Securities by the federal
government could create volatility in the market pricing of these investments.
It is anticipated that over the next several years U.S. policy makers will address what the
long-term role of the federal government in general, and the GSEs in particular, will play in the
housing markets. The actual or perceived credit quality of Agency Securities could be negatively
affected by market uncertainty over any legislative or regulatory initiatives that impact the
relationship between the GSEs and the federal government. A significantly reduced role by the
federal government or other changes in the guarantees provided by Ginnie Mae or the GSEs could
negatively affect the credit profile and pricing of future issuances of Agency Securities and
whether the Companys strategy of holding a leveraged portfolio of Agency Securities remains
viable.
Government-supported mortgagor relief programs and future legislative action could negatively
affect Capsteads financial condition and earnings. U.S. policy makers have established or
announced programs designed to provide certain qualified homeowners with assistance in avoiding
foreclosure or in qualifying for the refinancing of their existing mortgages. These programs would
typically entail the pay off of existing mortgages with any losses absorbed by the GSEs. In
addition, policy makers have indicated support for additional legislative relief for homeowners,
including amending bankruptcy laws to permit the modification of mortgage loans in bankruptcy
procedures. These mortgagor relief programs, as well as any future legislative or regulatory
actions, could significantly reduce the expected life of the Companys residential mortgage
investments; therefore, actual yields the Company realizes on these investments could be lower due
to faster amortization of investment premiums.
Periods of illiquidity in the mortgage markets may reduce the number of counterparties willing to
lend to the Company or the amounts individual counterparties are willing to lend via repurchase
arrangements. Capstead will generally pledge its investments in mortgage securities as collateral
under
-31-
uncommitted
repurchase arrangements with numerous commercial banks and other financial institutions, routinely
with maturities of 30 to 90 days. Many of the Companys counterparties have suffered losses in the
current economic downturn and a number of counterparties have had to be completely replaced because
they exited the securities lending business. The Companys ability to achieve its investment
objectives depends on its ability to re-establish or roll maturing borrowings on a continuous
basis. If a counterparty chooses not to roll a maturing borrowing, the Company must pay off the
borrowing, generally with cash available from another repurchase arrangement entered into with
another counterparty. If the Company deems it does not have sufficient borrowing capacity with its
counterparties, it could be forced to reduce its portfolio leverage by selling assets under
possibly adverse market conditions, which may adversely affect its profitability. This risk is
increased if Capstead relies significantly on any single counterparty for a significant portion of
its repurchase arrangements. Under these conditions, the Company may determine it is prudent to
sell assets to improve its ability to pledge sufficient collateral to support its remaining
borrowings, which could result in losses.
Periods of illiquidity in the mortgage markets may reduce amounts available to be borrowed under
Capsteads repurchase arrangements due to declines in the value of related collateral, which could
negatively impact the Companys financial condition and earnings. Capstead generally finances its
investments in mortgage securities by pledging them as collateral under uncommitted repurchase
arrangements, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction
basis. The amount borrowed under a repurchase arrangement is limited to a percentage of the
estimated market value of the pledged collateral and is specified at the inception of the
transaction. The portion of the pledged collateral held by the lender that is not advanced under
the repurchase arrangement is referred to as margin collateral and the resulting margin percentage
is required to be maintained throughout the term of the borrowing. If the market value of the
pledged collateral as determined by the Companys lenders declines, the Company may be subject to
margin calls wherein the lender requires the Company to pledge additional collateral to reestablish
the agreed-upon margin percentage. Because market illiquidity tends to put downward pressure on
asset prices, Capstead may be presented with substantial margin calls during such periods. If the
Company is unable or unwilling to pledge additional collateral, the Companys lenders can liquidate
the Companys collateral, potentially under adverse market conditions, resulting in losses. At
such times the Company may determine that it is prudent to sell assets to improve its ability to
pledge sufficient collateral to support its remaining borrowings, which could result in losses.
Periods of rising interest rates may reduce amounts available to be borrowed under Capsteads
repurchase arrangements due to declines in the value of related collateral, which could negatively
impact the Companys financial condition and earnings. Because rising interest rates tend to put
downward pressure on financial asset prices, Capstead may be presented with substantial margin
calls during such periods. If the Company is unable or unwilling to pledge additional collateral,
the Companys lenders can liquidate the Companys collateral, potentially under adverse market
conditions, resulting in losses. At such times the Company may determine it is prudent to sell
assets to improve its ability to pledge sufficient collateral to support its remaining borrowings,
which could result in losses.
If Capstead is unable to negotiate favorable terms and conditions on future repurchase arrangements
with one or more of the Companys counterparties, the Companys financial condition and earnings
could be negatively impacted. The terms and conditions of each repurchase arrangement are
negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis, and these borrowings generally are
re-established, or rolled, at maturity. Key terms and conditions of each transaction include
interest rates, maturity dates, asset pricing procedures and margin requirements. The Company
cannot assure investors that it will be able to continue to negotiate favorable terms and
conditions on its future repurchase arrangements. Also, during periods of market illiquidity or
due to perceived credit quality deterioration of the collateral pledged, a lender may require that
less favorable asset pricing procedures be employed or the margin requirement be increased. Under
these conditions, the Company may determine it is prudent to sell assets to improve its ability to
pledge sufficient collateral to support its remaining borrowings, which could result in losses.
-32-
Capsteads use of repurchase arrangements to finance its investments may give the Companys lenders
greater rights in the event of bankruptcy. Borrowings made under repurchase arrangements may
qualify for special treatment under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This may make it difficult for the
Company to recover its pledged assets if a lender files for bankruptcy and subject to the Company
losses. In addition, if the Company ever files for bankruptcy, its repurchase arrangement
counterparties may be able to avoid the automatic stay provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and
take possession of, and liquidate, the Companys collateral under these arrangements without delay,
which could result in losses.
Capstead may sell assets for various reasons, including a change in the Companys investment focus,
which could increase earnings volatility. Capstead may periodically sell assets to enhance its
liquidity during periods of market illiquidity or rising interest rates. Additionally the Company
may change its investment focus requiring it to sell some portion of its existing investments.
Transactional gains or losses resulting from any such asset sales, or from terminating any related
longer-dated repurchase arrangements or interest rate swap agreements, will likely increase the
Companys earnings volatility.
Changes in interest rates, whether increases or decreases, may adversely affect Capsteads
earnings. Capsteads earnings currently depend primarily on the difference between the interest
received on its mortgage securities and similar investments and the interest paid on its related
borrowings. The Company typically finances its investments at 30- to 90-day interest rates.
Because only a portion of the ARM loans underlying the Companys securities reset each month and
the terms of these ARM loans generally limit the amount of any increases during any single interest
rate adjustment period and over the life of a loan, in a rising short-term interest rate
environment, interest rates on related borrowings not hedged through the use of interest rate swap
agreements can rise to levels that may exceed yields on these securities, contributing to lower or
even negative financing spreads and adversely affecting earnings. At other times, during periods of
relatively low short-term interest rates, declines in the indices used to reset ARM loans may
negatively affect yields on the Companys ARM securities as the underlying ARM loans reset at lower
rates. If declines in these indices exceed declines in the Companys borrowing rates, earnings
would be adversely affected.
The average life of Capsteads longer-to-reset ARM securities could outstrip related fixed-rate
borrowings. Longer-to-reset ARM securities held by Capstead consist almost exclusively of a
combination of seasoned and relatively newly issued hybrid ARMs with initial coupon interest rates
that are fixed for five years. As of June 30, 2009 the weighted average months-to-roll for this
portion of the portfolio was 30.7 months. Prior to changes in market conditions during the fall of
2007, Capstead made use of longer-dated repurchase arrangements to effectively lock in financing
spreads on a portion of its investments in longer-to-reset ARM Agency Securities for a significant
portion of the fixed-rate terms of these investments. Late in 2007 the Company began using
two-year term interest rate swap agreements for this purpose. In a rising interest rate
environment, the weighted average life of the Companys longer-to-reset ARM securities could extend
beyond the terms of related longer-dated borrowings and swap positions more than originally
anticipated. This could have a negative impact on financing spreads and earnings as related
borrowing costs would no longer be fixed during the remaining fixed-rate term of these investments
and may also cause a decline in fair value of these assets without a corresponding increase in
value from related longer-dated borrowings or swap positions.
An increase in prepayments may adversely affect Capsteads earnings. When short- and long-term
interest rates are at nearly the same levels (i.e., a flat yield curve environment), or when
long-term interest rates decrease, the rate of principal prepayments on mortgage loans underlying
mortgage securities generally increases. Prolonged periods of high mortgage prepayments can
significantly reduce the expected life of the Companys investments; therefore, actual yields the
Company realizes can be lower due to faster amortization of investment premiums.
-33-
The lack of availability of suitable investments at attractive pricing may adversely affect
Capsteads earnings. Pricing of investments is determined by a number of factors including
interest rate levels and expectations, market liquidity conditions, and competition among investors
for these investments, many of whom have greater financial resources and lower return requirements
than Capstead. To the extent the proceeds from prepayments on Capsteads mortgage securities and
similar investments are not reinvested or cannot be reinvested at a rate of return at least equal
to the rate previously earned on those investments, the Companys earnings may be adversely
affected. Similarly, if proceeds from capital raising activities, if any, are not deployed or
cannot be deployed at rates of return being earned on existing capital, earnings may be adversely
affected. Capstead cannot assure investors that the Company will be able to acquire suitable
investments at attractive pricing and in a timely manner to replace portfolio runoff as it occurs
or to deploy new capital as it is raised. Neither can the Company assure investors that it will
maintain the current composition of its investments, consisting primarily of ARM Agency Securities.
Capstead may invest in Derivatives such as interest rate swap agreements to mitigate or hedge the
Companys interest rate risk on its longer-to-reset ARM securities, which may negatively affect the
Companys liquidity, financial condition or earnings. The Company may invest in such instruments
from time to time with the goal of achieving more stable financing spreads on the longer-to-reset
ARM securities component of its mortgage securities and similar investment portfolio. However,
these activities may not have the desired beneficial impact on the Companys liquidity, financial
condition or earnings. For instance, the pricing of longer-to-reset ARM securities and the pricing
of the related Derivatives may deteriorate at the same time leading to margin calls on both the
borrowings supporting investments in longer-to-reset ARM securities and the Derivatives, negatively
impacting the Companys liquidity and stockholders equity. In addition, counterparties could fail
to honor their commitments under the terms of the Derivatives or have their credit quality
downgraded impairing the value of the Derivatives. In the event of any defaults by counterparties,
the Company may have difficulty recovering its collateral and may not receive payments provided for
under the terms of the Derivatives. Should Capstead be required to sell its Derivatives under such
circumstances, the Company may incur losses. No such hedging activity can completely insulate the
Company from the risks associated with changes in interest rates and prepayment rates.
Derivatives held may fail to qualify for hedge accounting introducing potential volatility to
Capsteads earnings. The Company typically qualifies Derivatives held as cash flow hedges for
accounting purposes in order to record the effective portion of the change in fair value of
Derivatives as a component of stockholders equity rather than in earnings. If the hedging
relationship for any Derivative held ceases to qualify for hedge accounting treatment for any
reason, including failing documentation and ongoing hedge effectiveness requirements, the Company
would be required to record in earnings the total change in fair value of any such Derivative.
This could introduce a potentially significant amount of volatility to earnings reported by the
Company.
Capstead is dependent on its executives and employees and the loss of one or more of its executive
officers could harm the Companys business and its prospects. As a self-managed REIT with fewer
than 20 employees, Capstead is dependent on the efforts of its key officers and employees, most of
whom have significant experience in the mortgage industry. Although most of the Companys named
executive officers and many of its other employees are parties to severance agreements, the
Companys key officers and employees are not subject to employment agreements with non-compete
clauses, nor has Capstead acquired key man life insurance policies on any of these individuals. The
loss of any of their services could have an adverse effect on the Companys operations.
Commercial real estate-related assets may expose investors to greater risks of loss than
residential mortgage investments. The repayment of a loan secured by an income-producing property
is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project and the
ability of the applicable property to produce net operating income rather than upon the liquidation
value of the underlying real
-34-
estate. The repayment of loans secured by development properties is typically dependent upon the
successful development of the property for its intended use and (a) the subsequent lease-up such
that the development becomes a successful income-producing property or (b) the subsequent sale of
some or all of the property for adequate consideration. In the event cash flows from operating or
developing a commercial property are insufficient to cover all debt service requirements, junior
liens generally absorb the shortfall. As a result, declines in current or anticipated cash flows,
among other factors, can lead to declines in value of the underlying real estate large enough that
the aggregate outstanding balances of senior and junior liens could exceed the value of the real
estate. In the event of default, the junior lienholder may need to make payments on the senior
loans to preserve its rights to the underlying real estate and prevent foreclosure. Because the
senior lienholders generally have priority on proceeds from liquidating the underlying real estate,
junior lienholders may not recover all or any of their investment.
Risks Related to Capsteads Status as a REIT and Other Tax Matters
If Capstead does not qualify as a REIT, the Company will be subject to tax as a regular corporation
and face substantial tax liability. Capstead has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income
purposes and intends to continue to so qualify. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of
highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which only a limited number of
judicial or administrative interpretations exist. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could
jeopardize the Companys REIT status. Furthermore, new tax legislation, administrative guidance or
court decisions, in each instance potentially with retroactive effect, could make it more difficult
or impossible for the Company to qualify as a REIT. If Capstead fails to qualify as a REIT in any
tax year, then:
|
|
|
The Company would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other things,
means that the Company would be unable to deduct dividends paid to its stockholders in
computing taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates. |
|
|
|
|
Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash
available for distribution to stockholders, and Capstead would not be required to make
distributions of the Companys income. |
|
|
|
|
Unless Capstead were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, the Company
would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years
following the year during which the Company lost its qualification, and, thus, the Companys
cash available for distribution to stockholders would be reduced for each of the years during
which the Company did not qualify as a REIT. |
Even if Capstead remains qualified as a REIT, the Company may face other tax liabilities that
reduce its earnings. Even if Capstead remains qualified for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be
subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and assets. For example, the
Company:
|
|
|
will be required to pay tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income, |
|
|
|
|
may be required to pay the alternative minimum tax on any items of tax preference, and |
|
|
|
|
may operate taxable REIT subsidiaries that are required to pay taxes on any taxable income
earned. |
Complying with REIT requirements may cause Capstead to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Capstead must continually satisfy tests
concerning, among other things, the sources of its income, the nature and diversification of its
assets, the amounts that it distributes to its stockholders, and the ownership of its stock. The
Company may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when it
does not have funds readily available for distribution. As a result, compliance with the REIT
requirements may hinder the Companys ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
-35-
Complying with REIT requirements may limit Capsteads ability to hedge effectively. The REIT
provisions of the Code may limit Capsteads ability to hedge mortgage securities and related
borrowings by requiring it to limit its income in each year from qualified hedges entered into
prior to July 31, 2008, together with any other income not generated from qualified real estate
assets, to no more than 25% of the Companys gross income. In addition, the Company must limit its
aggregate income from nonqualified hedging transactions, from providing certain services, and from
other non-qualifying sources to not more than 5% of its annual gross income. As a result, the
Company may have to limit its use of advantageous hedging techniques. This could result in greater
risks associated with changes in interest rates than the Company would otherwise incur. If the
Company were to violate the 25% or 5% limitations, it may have to pay a penalty tax equal to the
amount of gross income in excess of those limitations, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect
its profitability. If the Company fails to satisfy the REIT gross income tests, unless its failure
was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, the Company could lose its REIT status
for federal income tax purposes.
Complying with REIT requirements may force Capstead to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
To qualify as a REIT, Capstead must also ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter at least
75% of the value of its assets consists of cash, cash items, United States government securities
and qualified REIT real estate assets. The remainder of the Companys investments in securities
(other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value
of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the
value of the Companys assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets)
can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of its total
securities can be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. If the
Company fails to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, it must correct
such failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter to avoid losing its REIT status
and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, the Company may be required to liquidate
otherwise attractive investments.
Complying with REIT requirements may force Capstead to borrow to make distributions to
stockholders. As a REIT, Capstead must distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income
(subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders. To the extent that the Company satisfies the
distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, the Company will be
subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, the
Company will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that it pays out to
its stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the federal tax
laws. From time to time, the Company may generate taxable income greater than its net income for
financial reporting purposes or its taxable income may be greater than the Companys cash flow
available for distribution to stockholders. If the Company does not have other funds available in
these situations, it could be required to borrow funds, sell investments at disadvantageous prices
or find another alternative source of funds to make distributions sufficient to enable it to pay
out enough of its taxable income to satisfy the distribution requirement and to avoid corporate
income tax and/or the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase the
Companys costs or reduce its long-term investment capital.
Capstead may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the
market price of the Companys securities. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REITs
or the administrative interpretations of those laws may change. Any such changes in laws or
interpretations thereof may apply retroactively and could adversely affect Capstead or its
stockholders. For example, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 reduced the
maximum rate of tax applicable to individuals on dividend income from regular C corporations from
38.6% to 15.0%. This reduced substantially the so-called double taxation (that is, taxation at
both the corporate and stockholder levels) that has generally applied to corporations that are not
taxed as REITs. Generally, dividends from REITs will not qualify for the dividend tax reduction.
As such, investors may view stocks of non-REIT dividend
-36-
paying corporations as more attractive relative to shares of REITs than was the case previously.
Capstead cannot predict any impact on the value of its securities from adverse legislative or
regulatory tax changes such as the Jobs and Growth Tax Act of 2003.
An investment in Capsteads securities has various federal, state and local income tax risks that
could affect the value of an investors investment. The Company strongly urges investors to
consult their own tax advisor concerning the effects of federal, state and local income tax law on
an investment in the Companys securities, because of the complex nature of the tax rules
applicable to REITs and their stockholders.
Risk Factors Related to Capsteads Corporate Structure
There are no assurances of Capsteads ability to pay dividends in the future. Capstead intends to
continue paying quarterly dividends and to make distributions to its stockholders in amounts such
that all or substantially all of the Companys taxable income in each year, subject to certain
adjustments, is distributed. This, along with other factors, should enable the Company to qualify
for the tax benefits accorded to a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Companys
ability to pay dividends may be adversely affected by the risk factors described in this filing.
All distributions will be made at the discretion of the Companys board of directors and will
depend upon its earnings, its financial condition, maintenance of its REIT status and such other
factors as the board may deem relevant from time to time. There are no assurances of the Companys
ability to pay dividends in the future. In addition, some of the Companys distributions may
include a return of capital.
Failure to maintain an exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 would adversely affect
Capsteads results of operations. The Investment Company Act of 1940 exempts from regulation as an
investment company any entity that is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise
acquiring mortgages and other liens on, and interests in, real estate. Capstead believes that it
conducts its business in a manner that allows the Company to avoid registration as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the Company were to be regulated as an
investment company, its ability to use leverage would be substantially reduced and it would be
unable to conduct business as described in this filing.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, staffs position generally requires Capstead to
maintain at least 55% of its assets directly in qualifying real estate interests to be able to be
exempted from regulation as an investment company. To constitute a qualifying real estate interest
under this 55% requirement, a real estate interest must meet various criteria. In satisfying this
55% requirement, the Company may treat mortgage securities issued with respect to an underlying
pool to which it holds all issued certificates as qualifying real estate interests. Mortgage
securities that do not represent all of the certificates issued with respect to an underlying pool
of mortgages may be treated as securities separate from the underlying mortgage loans and, thus,
may not qualify for purposes of the 55% requirement. If the SEC or its staff adopts a contrary
interpretation of its current treatment, the Company could be required to sell a substantial amount
of its securities or other non-qualified assets under potentially adverse market conditions.
Pursuant to Capsteads charter, its board of directors has the ability to limit ownership of the
Companys capital stock, to the extent necessary to preserve its REIT qualification. For the
purpose of preserving Capsteads REIT qualification, its charter gives the board the ability to
repurchase outstanding shares of the Companys capital stock from existing stockholders if the
directors determine in good faith that the concentration of ownership by such individuals, directly
or indirectly, would cause the Company to fail to qualify or be disqualified as a REIT.
Constructive ownership rules are complex and may cause the outstanding stock owned by a group of
related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual or
entity. As a result, the acquisition of outstanding stock by an individual or
-37-
entity could cause that individual or entity to own constructively a greater concentration of the
Companys outstanding stock than is acceptable for REIT purposes, thereby giving the board the
ability to repurchase any excess shares.
Because provisions contained in Maryland law and Capsteads charter may have an anti-takeover
effect, investors may be prevented from receiving a control premium for their shares. Provisions
contained in Capsteads charter and Maryland general corporation law may have effects that delay,
defer or prevent a takeover attempt, which may prevent stockholders from receiving a control
premium for their shares. For example, these provisions may defer or prevent tender offers for the
Companys common stock or purchases of large blocks of the Companys common stock, thereby limiting
the opportunities for its stockholders to receive a premium for their common stock over
then-prevailing market prices. These provisions include the following:
|
|
|
Repurchase Rights: The repurchase rights granted to Capsteads board in its charter limits
related investors, including, among other things, any voting group, from owning common stock
if the concentration owned would jeopardize the Companys REIT status. |
|
|
|
|
Classification of preferred stock: Capsteads charter authorizes the board to issue
preferred stock in one or more classes and to establish the preferences and rights of any
class of preferred stock issued. These actions can be taken without soliciting stockholder
approval. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing
someone from taking control of the Company, even if a change in control were in its
stockholders best interests. |
Maryland statutory law provides that an act of a director relating to or affecting an acquisition
or a potential acquisition of control of a corporation may not be subject to a higher duty or
greater scrutiny than is applied to any other act of a director. Hence, directors of a Maryland
corporation are not required to act in takeover situations under the same standards as apply in
Delaware and certain other corporate jurisdictions.
Capstead may change its policies without stockholder approval. Capsteads board and management
determine all of its policies, including its investment, financing and distribution policies and
may amend or revise these policies at any time without a vote of the Companys stockholders. Policy
changes could adversely affect the Companys financial condition, results of operations, the market
price of its common stock and/or preferred stock or the Companys ability to pay dividends or
distributions.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon
Capsteads consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities (including contingencies), revenues and expenses, as well as related
disclosures. These estimates are based on available internal and market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the expected useful lives and carrying values of
assets and liabilities which can materially affect the determination of net income and book value
per common share. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
-38-
Management believes the following are critical accounting policies in the preparation of Capsteads
consolidated financial statements that involve the use of estimates requiring considerable
judgment:
|
|
|
Amortization of Investment Premiums on Financial Assets Investment premiums on financial
assets are recognized in earnings as adjustments to interest income by the interest method
over the estimated lives of the related assets. For most of Capsteads financial assets,
estimates and judgments related to future levels of mortgage prepayments are critical to this
determination. Mortgage prepayment expectations can vary considerably from period to period
based on current and projected changes in interest rates and other factors such as portfolio
composition. Management estimates mortgage prepayments based on past experiences with
specific investments within the portfolio, and current market expectations for changes in
interest rates and the residential mortgage lending environment. Should actual runoff rates
differ materially from these estimates, investment premiums would be expensed at a different
pace. |
|
|
|
|
Fair Value and Impairment Accounting for Financial Assets Most of Capsteads investments
are financial assets held in the form of mortgage securities that are classified as
available-for-sale and recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with unrealized gains and
losses recorded in Stockholders equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss). As such, these unrealized gains and losses enter into the calculation of book
value per common share, a key financial metric used by investors in evaluating the Company.
Fair values fluctuate with current and projected changes in interest rates, prepayment
expectations and other factors such as market liquidity conditions. Considerable judgment is
required to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values, particularly in
circumstances of deteriorating credit quality and market liquidity. See NOTE 9 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of how Capstead values its
financial assets. Generally, gains or losses are recognized in earnings only if sold;
however, if a decline in fair value of a mortgage security below its amortized cost occurs
that is determined to be other-than-temporary, the difference between amortized cost and fair
value would be recognized in earnings as a component of Other revenue (expense) if (a) the
decline was credit-related or (b) it was determined to be more likely than not that the
Company will incur a loss via an asset sale. Other-than-temporary impairment of a mortgage
security because of other factors would be recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) and amortized to earnings as a yield adjustment. |
|
|
|
|
Considerable judgment is also required in determining whether an impairment charge should be
recognized on an investment in an unsecuritized loan. The amount of any such impairment,
regardless of whether it arose due to credit issues or other factors, would be recognized in
earnings as a component of Other revenue (expense). The amount of such charge would be
determined by estimating expected future cash flows discounted at market rates. |
|
|
|
|
Derivatives Accounting The Company uses Derivatives from time to time for risk
management purposes. When held, Derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities and
carried at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of each Derivative held
depends on whether it has been designated as an accounting hedge, as well as the type of
hedging relationship identified. To qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, at
the inception of the hedge relationship the Company must anticipate and document that the
hedge relationship will be highly effective and monitor ongoing effectiveness on at least a
quarterly basis. As long as the hedge relationship remains effective, the effective portion
of changes in fair value of the Derivative are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) and the ineffective portion is recorded in earnings as a component of Interest
expense. Changes in fair value of Derivatives not held as accounting hedges, or for which
the hedge relationship is deemed to no longer be highly effective and as a result hedge
accounting is terminated, are recorded in earnings as a component of Other revenue (expense). |
-39-
|
|
|
Late in 2007 the Company began using interest rate swap agreements in hedge relationships
accounted for as cash flow hedges in order to hedge variability in borrowing rates due to
changes in the underlying benchmark interest rate related to a designated portion of its
current and anticipated future 30- and 90-day borrowings. Variable-rate payments to be
received on the swap agreements and any measured hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in
interest expense as an offset to interest owed on the hedged borrowings that reset to market
rates generally on a monthly basis while fixed rate swap payments to be made are also recorded
in interest expense resulting in an effectively fixed borrowing rate on these borrowings,
subject to certain adjustments. See NOTE 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and Financial ConditionsResidential Mortgage Investments for additional
information regarding the Companys use of Derivatives and its related risk management
policies. |
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that inherently involve risks and uncertainties. Capsteads actual
results and liquidity can differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements because of changes in the level and composition of the Companys investments and other
factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic
conditions, the availability of suitable qualifying investments from both an investment return and
regulatory perspective, the availability of new investment capital, the availability of financing
at reasonable levels and terms to support investing on a leveraged basis, fluctuations in interest
rates and levels of mortgage prepayments, deterioration in credit quality and ratings, the
effectiveness of risk management strategies, the impact of differing levels of leverage employed,
liquidity of secondary markets and credit markets, increases in costs and other general competitive
factors. In addition to the above considerations, actual results and liquidity related to
investments in loans secured by commercial real estate are affected by borrower performance under
operating and/or development plans, changes in general as well as local economic conditions and
real estate markets, increases in competition and inflationary pressures, changes in the tax and
regulatory environment including zoning and environmental laws, uninsured losses or losses in
excess of insurance limits and the availability of adequate insurance coverage at reasonable costs,
among other factors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the information included in
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of June 30, 2009, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation
of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the CEO and
CFO, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30,
2009. There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to June 30, 2009.
