    Sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates is determined relative to the actual
rates at the applicable date. Note that the projected 12-month earnings change is 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.  -28-

RISK FACTORS
 An investment in debt or equity 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 Companys debt or equity securities. The risks
discussed herein can adversely affect the Companys business, liquidity, operating results,
prospects and financial condition, causing the market price of the Companys debt or equity
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 Capsteads Business
 Loss of the implied AAA rating of Agency Securities could negatively affect Capsteads financial
condition and earnings.
 Periods of illiquidity in the mortgage markets may reduce amounts available to be borrowed under
Capsteads repurchase arrangements, which could negatively impact the Companys financial condition
and earnings.
 -30-




---



##### Table of Contents



Periods of rising interest rates may reduce amounts available to be borrowed under Capsteads
repurchase arrangements, which could negatively impact the Companys financial condition and
earnings.
 If Capstead is unable to negotiate favorable terms and conditions on future repurchase arrangements
with one or more of the Companys counterparties, the Companys financial condition and earnings
could be negatively impacted.
   Capsteads use of repurchase arrangements to borrow money may give the Companys lenders greater
rights in the event of bankruptcy.
 Capstead may sell assets for various reasons, including a change in the Companys investment focus,
which could increase earnings volatility.
 Changes in interest rates, whether increases or decreases, may adversely affect Capsteads
earnings.
 -31-




---



##### Table of Contents



The average life of Capsteads longer-to-reset ARM securities could extend beyond the life of
related longer-dated fixed-rate borrowings and interest rate swap positions more than anticipated.
 An increase in prepayments may adversely affect Capsteads earnings.
 The lack of availability of suitable investments at attractive pricing may adversely affect
Capsteads earnings.
 Capstead may invest in Derivatives such as interest rate swap agreements to mitigate or hedge the
Companys interest rate risk on its longer-to-reset ARM securities, which may negatively affect the
Companys liquidity, financial condition or earnings.
 -32-

##### Table of Contents



Derivatives held may fail to qualify for hedge accounting introducing potential volatility to
Capsteads earnings.
 Capstead may be unable to invest the net proceeds raised in a debt or equity securities offering on
acceptable terms, which could affect the Companys earnings.
 Capstead is dependent on its executives and employees and the loss of one or more of its executive
officers could harm the Companys business and its prospects.
 Commercial real estate-related assets may expose investors to greater risks of loss than
residential mortgage investments.
 -33-

##### Table of Contents



Additionally, Capstead may leverage its commercial real estate-related assets through the use of
secured borrowing arrangements, the availability of which may be predicated on the fair value of
the underlying collateral.
 Risks Related to Capsteads 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.
 
    
    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 Companys 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 Companys
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.
 
    
    The Company will be required to pay tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income.
    
    The Company may be required to pay the alternative minimum tax on any items of tax
preference.
    
    The Company 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.

##### Table of Contents



Complying with REIT requirements may limit Capsteads ability to hedge effectively.
 Complying with REIT requirements may force Capstead to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
 Complying with REIT requirements may force Capstead to borrow to make distributions to
stockholders.
 Capstead may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the
market price of the Companys securities.

##### Table of Contents



An investment in Capsteads securities has various federal, state and local income tax risks that
could affect the value of an investors investment.
 Risk Factors Related to Capsteads Corporate Structure
 There are no assurances of Capsteads ability to pay dividends in the future.
 Failure to maintain an exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 would adversely affect
Capsteads results of operations.
  Pursuant to Capsteads charter, its board of directors has the ability to limit ownership of the
Companys capital stock, to the extent necessary to preserve its REIT qualification.
 -36-

##### Table of Contents



Because provisions contained in Maryland law and Capsteads charter may have an anti-takeover
effect, investors may be prevented from receiving a control premium for their shares.
 
    
    Repurchase Rights.The repurchase rights granted to Capsteads board of directors in
the Companys charter limits related investors, including, among other things, any voting
group, from owning common stock if the concentration owned would jeopardize the Companys
REIT status.
    
    Classification of preferred stock:Capsteads 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.
  Capstead may change its policies without stockholder approval.
 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  -37-




---



##### Table of Contents




    
    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 Capsteads
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 the interest rate 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 Capsteads
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 equityas a component of Accumulated other
comprehensive income. 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 interpreting market data to develop estimated fair values, particularly
in circumstances of deteriorating credit quality and market liquidity (see NOTE 10 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 an individual asset below its amortized cost occurs
that is determined to be other than temporary, the difference between amortized cost and
fair value would be included in Other revenue (expense)as an impairment charge.
    
    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
incomeand the ineffective portion is recorded in earnings. 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, are recorded in earnings as a component of Other revenue
(expense).
 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-day borrowings. Variable-rate payments to be received on the swap agreements and any measured hedge
ineffectiveness are recorded in Interest expenseas 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 expenseresulting in an
effectively fixed borrowing rate on these borrowings, subject to certain adjustments.
See NOTE 6 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and Financial ConditionsResidential Mortgage
Investments for additional information regarding the Companys use of Derivatives and its
related risk management policies.
