December 31, 2007. On March 5, 2008, the Board of Directors decided that we should restate these financial statements after concluding that there was substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern at December 31,
2007, and that therefore, losses on our available for sale securities and our Securitized ARM Loans that are currently pledged as collateral for Reverse Repurchase Agreements were considered to be other than temporary impairments as of
December 31, 2007 since we may not be able to hold these securities for the foreseeable future because we may sell them to satisfy margin calls from our lenders or to otherwise manage our liquidity position. The restated financial statements
reflect changes in our losses on ARM Assets and other related changes. For a description of the changes made in connection with the Restatement (Restatement) see Item 7 of Part II, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Restatement of Financial Statements and Note 2, Restatement of Financial Statements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the Form 10-K/A) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
initially filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008 (the Original Form 10-K), is being filed to reflect restatements of our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007, the related Consolidated Income Statement, Statement
of Shareholders Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the notes related thereto, and the financial statement Schedule  Mortgage Loans on Real Estate. For a more detailed description of
these restatements, see Note 2, Restatement of Financial Statements, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and the section entitled Restatement of Financial Statements under Item 7 of Part II,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in this Form 10-K/A.

For
the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Form 10-K in its entirety. However, this Form 10-K/A only amends and restates Items 1 and 1A of Part 1 and Items 6, 7, 7A, 8, and 9B of Part II, in each case as a result
of, and to reflect, the Restatement. The foregoing items have also been updated to reflect other events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K that we believe were significant subsequent events. In addition, pursuant to the rules of
the SEC, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Form 10-K has been amended to contain the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm and currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Except for the forgoing amended information, this Form 10-K/A continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-K and we have not updated the disclosure contained herein
to reflect events that have occurred at a later date. Other events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K or other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events have been or will be addressed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed subsequent to the Original 10-K and any reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this filing.

PART I



|Item 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

The following
description of our business should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and supplementary data as presented in Item 8 of this amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

All of the numbers impacted by the Restatement described in the Explanatory Note above are as restated.

The following is a discussion of our general business operations and policies. For a discussion of the unique market events impacting our business
operations in the second half of 2007, see the Executive Overview section beginning on page 32.

GENERAL

We are a single-family (one-to-four unit) residential mortgage lender that originates, acquires and retains investments in ARM Assets, thereby
providing capital to the single-family residential housing market. Our ARM Assets consist of Purchased ARM Assets and ARM Loans and are comprised of Traditional ARM Assets and Hybrid ARM Assets. Purchased ARM Assets are MBS that represent interests
in pools of ARM loans, which are publicly rated and issued by third parties and may

include guarantees or other third-party credit enhancements against losses from loan defaults. ARM Loans are either loans that we have securitized from our
own loan origination or acquisition activities, loans that we use as collateral to support the issuance of Collateralized Mortgage Debt or loans pending securitization. Like traditional banking institutions, our income is generated primarily from
the net spread or difference between the interest income we earn on our ARM Assets and the cost of our borrowings. Our strategy is to maximize the long-term sustainable difference between the yield on our ARM Assets and the cost of financing these
assets, and to maintain that difference through interest rate and credit cycles.

While we are not a bank or savings and loan institution,
our business purpose, strategy and method of operation are best understood in comparison to such institutions. Unlike a bank or savings and loan institution, we finance the purchases and originations of our ARM Assets with equity capital, unsecured
debt, Collateralized Mortgage Debt and short-term borrowings instead of deposits or Federal Home Loan Bank advances. When we borrow short-term or floating-rate funds to finance our Hybrid ARM Assets, we also typically enter into interest rate
hedging transactions, which are intended to fix, or cap, our borrowing costs during the fixed-rate period of the Hybrid ARM assets. We believe we have minimized our exposure to changes in interest rates since the assets we hold are primarily ARM
Assets and we maintain a portfolio Effective Duration of less than one year, which is a calculation expressed in months or years that is a measure of the expected price change of our ARM Assets, Hedging Instruments and other borrowings based on
changes in interest rates. We have a policy to operate with an Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio, a non-GAAP measurement, of at least 8%. See Capital Utilization and Leverage on page 48 for an explanation and a calculation of our Adjusted
Equity-to-Assets Ratio. At December 31, 2007, we were operating at an Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio of 13.22%. Moreover, we focus on acquiring High Quality assets to minimize potential credit losses and to optimize our access to financing.
Our operating structure has resulted in operating costs well below those of other mortgage originators and mortgage portfolio lenders. Our corporate structure differs from most lending institutions in that we are organized for tax purposes as a REIT
and, therefore, pay substantially all of our earnings in the form of dividends to shareholders.

We are an externally advised REIT and, as
such, we are managed externally by the Manager under the terms of the Management Agreement, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors. See Employees  The Management Agreement.

Our internet website address is www.thornburgmortgage.com. We make available free of charge, through our internet website, under the Investors
 Investor Information  SEC Filings section, our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports that we file or furnish pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

You may also find the Code of Conduct, the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of the Audit Committee, Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors at our website under the Investors  Corporate Governance section. These documents are also available in print to anyone who requests them by writing to us at the following address: 150 Washington Avenue, Suite

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We pride ourselves on maintaining an ethical workplace in which the highest standards of professional conduct are practiced. Accordingly, we would like
to highlight the following facts relating to corporate governance:



| |  |  | The Board of Directors is, and always has been, composed of a majority of independent directors. The Audit, Nominating/Corporate Governance and Compensation
Committees of the Board of Directors are, and always have been, composed exclusively of independent directors. The Board of Directors 1) reviews our financial results, policy compliance and strategic direction on at least a quarterly basis, 2)
reviews our budget and three-year strategic plan annually and 3) performs an annual review of the Managers compensation, performance and implementation of our strategic plan.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have a Code of Conduct and Corporate Governance Guidelines that cover a wide range of business practices and procedures that apply to all of our employees,
officers, directors and the Manager that foster the highest standards of ethics and conduct in all of our business relationships. In addition, we have instituted a Nonretaliation Policy and Procedure for Whistleblowers that sets forth procedures by
which any officer or employee of the Company or the Manager may raise concerns regarding alleged violations of federal fraud or securities laws, which may involve

committees of the Board of Directors.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have an Insider Trading Policy to prohibit any of the directors, officers or employees of the Company or the Manager from buying or selling our stock on the
basis of material nonpublic information or communicating material nonpublic information to others.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are managed externally by the Manager under the terms of the Management Agreement, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors. The Managers
compensation is based on formulas tied to our success in increasing equity capitalization and generating net income above defined Return on Equity targets. The Compensation Committee and the independent directors annually evaluate the Managers
performance and determine whether the compensation paid to the Manager is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have a formal internal audit function to further the effective functioning of our internal controls and procedures. Our internal audit plan is approved
annually by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and is based on a formal risk assessment and is intended to provide management and the Audit Committee with an effective tool to identify and address areas of financial or operational
concerns and ensure that appropriate controls and procedures are in place. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires an annual evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. See Controls and Procedures 
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting on page 61.

OPERATING POLICIES AND
STRATEGIES

Portfolio Strategies

Our business strategy is to acquire, originate and retain primarily ARM Assets to hold in our portfolio, fund them using equity capital and borrowed funds, and generate earnings from the difference, or spread, between
the yield on our assets and our cost of borrowings. Our ARM Assets include investments in Hybrid ARM Assets and Traditional ARM Assets.

We
have a focused portfolio lending investment policy designed to minimize credit risk and interest rate risk. Our policy requires us to have a mortgage asset portfolio with an expected Net Effective Duration of one year or less and which may consist
of Agency Securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or privately issued (generally publicly registered) ARM pass-through securities, multi-class pass-through securities, Collateralized Mortgage Debt, A quality ARM
Loans that we intend to securitize, Purchased Securitized Loans or short-term investments that either mature within one year or have an interest rate that reprices within one year.

Our investment policy requires that we invest at least 70% of our total assets in High Quality ARM Assets and short-term investments. The remainder of our ARM portfolio, comprising not more than
30% of total assets, may consist of Other Investments.

Our ARM Assets include investments in Hybrid ARM Assets. We use Hybrid ARM Hedging
Instruments to fix, or cap, the interest rates on the short-term borrowings and floating-rate Collateralized Mortgage Debt financing our Hybrid ARM Assets. We have a policy that requires us to maintain a Hybrid ARM portfolio Net Effective Duration
of less than one year. We use a financial model that simulates interest rate changes and calculates the impact of those changes on the fair value of our portfolio. By maintaining a Net Effective Duration of less than one year on our Hybrid ARM
Assets, we believe that we can maintain relatively stable earnings and dividends given changing interest rates.

We believe that our status
as a mortgage REIT makes an investment in our equity securities attractive for tax-exempt investors, such as pension plans, profit sharing plans, 401(k) plans, Keogh plans and IRAs. We do not invest in REMIC residuals or other CMO residuals that
would result in the creation of excess inclusion income or taxable unrelated business income.

Purchased ARM Assets

Our investments in Purchased ARM Assets are concentrated in High Quality ARM securities. These securities are issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac, or are privately issued ARM securities that generally are credit enhanced through subordination and meet our High Quality credit criteria. Further, none of the mortgage assets in our Purchased ARM Assets

##### Table of Contents

portfolio are credit enhanced or credit guaranteed by any of the private sector mono-line credit insurers. See Business  Operating Policies and
Strategies  Portfolio Strategies. Purchased ARM Assets include Purchased Securitized Loans where we initially purchased all of the rating classes of a securitized pool of mortgage loans, meaning that we retained the credit risk
associated with the underlying loans. In 2007, we sold most of the AAA-rated classes of the Purchased Securitized Loans, but retained the credit risk in the form of below AAA-rated MBS. We have set aside a non-accretable discount on those assets to
reserve for expected loan losses. The High Quality ARM securities that we acquire represent interests in ARM Loans that are secured by first liens on single-family (one-to-four unit) residential properties, although we may also acquire ARM
securities secured by liens on other types of real estate-related properties.

ARM Loans

All of our ARM Loans are either Traditional ARM loans or Hybrid ARM loans. Securitized ARM Loans are loans that we have originated or acquired and
securitized in which we retain 100% of the beneficial ownership interests. ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt are also loans we have securitized that provide credit support for AAA or AA certificates issued to third-party investors in our Collateralized
Mortgage Debt structured financing arrangements. ARM loans held for securitization are loans we have acquired or originated that we intend to securitize and retain.

When originating or acquiring Traditional ARM and Hybrid ARM loans, we focus our attention on all aspects of a borrowers profile and the characteristics of a mortgage loan product that we believe are most
important in ensuring excellent loan performance and minimal credit exposure. We originate or acquire loans that are generally underwritten to A quality standards. Our borrowers generally make large down payments and have adequate
verified liquid asset reserves, verified income, job stability and excellent credit (as measured by a credit report and a credit score). In addition, full real estate appraisals are underwritten to ensure the property collateral is appropriately
valued, appropriate to the neighborhood and located in a market where we believe values can be supported. The Traditional ARM and Hybrid ARM loans we have originated or acquired are all first lien mortgages on single-family (one-to-four units)
residential properties. Some have additional collateral in the form of pledged financial assets. Pledged financial assets are limited to marketable equity securities, investment grade bonds, cash or other approved securities. As a result, the loans
we originate or acquire are generally fully documented loans, generally with 80% or lower effective loan-to-value ratios based on independently appraised property values. If a loan has an original loan-to-value ratio above 80%, we require private
mortgage insurance or additional collateral, providing additional protection to us against credit risk. The average original effective loan-to-value ratio of our loans was 67.2% as of December 31, 2007.

We acquire Purchased ARM Assets and ARM Loans from investment banking firms, broker-dealers, mortgage bankers, mortgage brokerage firms, banks, savings
and loan institutions, credit unions, home builders and other entities involved in originating, securitizing, packaging and selling MBS and mortgage loans. We believe we have a competitive advantage in acquiring and investing in ARM Assets due to
the low cost of our operations relative to traditional mortgage investors and originators.

We acquire and originate ARM Loans for our
portfolio through our correspondent lending, wholesale lending, direct retail lending and bulk acquisition programs. Our correspondent lending program currently includes 306 approved correspondents. In the second quarter of 2006, we began
originating ARM Loans through our wholesale lending channel and, as of December 31, 2007, we had 684 approved mortgage brokerage firms. Our direct retail lending channel originates ARM Loans through direct contact with consumers and we are
currently authorized to lend in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We believe that these diversified sources for ARM Loans enable us to consistently find attractive opportunities to acquire or create high quality assets at attractive yields
and spreads for our portfolio.

Acquisition, Securitization and Retention of Traditional ARM and Hybrid ARM Loans

We acquire and originate A quality ARM Loans through TMHL, our wholly-owned mortgage loan origination and acquisition subsidiary, from four
sources: (i) correspondent lending, (ii) wholesale lending, (iii) direct retail lending and (iv) bulk acquisitions. Correspondent lending involves originating individual loans that we re-underwrite from lending partners which we
have approved and which originate and close the individual loans using our product pricing, underwriting criteria and guidelines, or other approved criteria and guidelines. Wholesale loan originations are loans which we underwrite and close that are
sourced from approved mortgage brokerage firms. Direct retail loan originations are loans that we originate directly to consumers via the internet or by telephone. See Loan Quality Control below for a description of quality control
performed in our correspondent, wholesale and retail channels. Bulk acquisitions involve acquiring pools of whole loans which are originated using the sellers guidelines and underwriting criteria. The loans we acquire or originate are financed
through warehouse borrowing arrangements pending securitization for our portfolio.

##### Table of Contents

The loans acquired or originated by TMHL are first lien, single-family residential Traditional ARM and
Hybrid ARM loans with original terms to maturity of not more than forty years and are either fully amortizing, interest-only for up to ten years and fully amortizing thereafter, or to a lesser extent, negatively amortizing. We do not currently
acquire or originate any negatively amortizing loans.

All ARM Loans that we acquire or originate for our portfolio bear an interest rate
tied to an interest rate index. Most loans have periodic and lifetime constraints on the amount by which the loan interest rate can change on any predetermined interest rate reset date. The interest rate on each Traditional ARM loan resets monthly,
semi-annually or annually. Traditional ARM loans generally adjust to a margin over a U.S. Treasury index, a LIBOR index or the 12-Month Treasury Average Index. Hybrid ARM loans have a fixed rate for an initial period, generally 3 to 10 years, and
then convert to Traditional ARM loans for their remaining term to maturity.

We acquire and originate ARM Loans for retention in our
portfolio with the intention of financing them using Collateralized Mortgage Debt. Alternatively, we may also securitize them to create High Quality ARM securities and retain them in our portfolio as Securitized ARM Loans. In order to facilitate the
securitization or financing of our loans, we generally create subordinate certificates, which provide a specified amount of credit enhancement and which we retain in our portfolio. Our investment policy limits the amount we may retain of below
Investment Grade subordinate certificates or classes created as a result of our loan acquisition and securitization efforts or acquired as Purchased Securitized Loans, to 17.5% of shareholders equity, measured on a historical cost basis. In
January 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of $150.0 million of below Investment Grade assets, provided that the assets are collateralized by loans that meet our origination standards and can be financed, and for which we
believe that we can acquire at an attractive price, establish a non-accretable discount of adequate size to cover expected loan losses yet still provide an above average return on our investment. Since January 2008, we have not acquired any
securities under this program.

We believe acquiring or originating ARM Loans and then securitizing them benefits us by providing:
(i) greater control over the quality and types of ARM Assets acquired; (ii) the ability to acquire current coupon ARM Assets at lower prices; (iii) additional sources of new whole-pool ARM Assets; and (iv) better utilization of
and return on our equity capital.

We also offer The Thornburg Mortgage Exchange
ProgramSMfor loans we originate and/or service. We have offered a loan exchange option since 2002, and we believe this program promotes customer
retention and reduces loan prepayments. The loan exchange option is available from the inception of the loan and allows borrowers in good standing to pay a fee to exchange their current mortgage loan to any then-available Hybrid or Traditional ARM
product. The program was suspended in the third quarter of 2007 so that the eligibility requirements could be reviewed. This program is not offered to borrowers that have ever been delinquent and we do not capitalize arrearages. We plan to resume
the program in 2008 once market conditions improve. During 2007, we exchanged 812 loans with balances totaling $458.1 million. Another feature of The Thornburg Mortgage Exchange ProgramSMis that our borrowers who qualify can take out equity from their homes on a streamlined basis.

Correspondent Lending

In the correspondent lending channel, we originate mortgage loans from
Company-approved correspondent lenders. We pre-qualify all correspondents to determine their financial strength, the soundness of their own established in-house mortgage procedures and their ability to fulfill their representations and warranties to
us. Correspondents compliance with these qualifications is assessed at least annually. The majority of loans originated in the correspondent channel are originated to our approved specifications including our internally developed loan
products, credit and property guidelines, and underwriting criteria. We then re-underwrite all of these loans, either prior to funding or shortly thereafter for those correspondents that qualified for our delegated underwriting option. In certain
cases, correspondents sell their own loan products to us, which are originated according to the correspondents product specifications and underwriting guidelines that have been pre-approved by us.

We currently have 40 correspondent lenders to which we have granted delegated underwriting status, which means they can close a loan represented as
underwritten according to our underwriting guidelines up to a maximum loan amount of $2.5 million. After funding, we then review the loan. Loans with exceptions to our guidelines are not eligible under our delegated program. Delegated status has
only been granted to those correspondent lenders who have proven they have underwriting processes which mirror our credit criteria and underwriting processes. In 2007, 346 out of 4,031 correspondent loans went through the delegated process and our
post-funding underwriting review resulted in no representation or warranty violations.

##### Table of Contents

Wholesale Lending

In June 2006, we began originating loans through mortgage brokerage firms. Our Company-approved mortgage brokerage firms sell our Traditional ARM and Hybrid ARM products and submit completed loan applications and
customer documentation through our web portal and imaging systems. The loans are underwritten and closed in TMHLs name. We currently have account executives and wholesale lending partners across the United States with a specific focus on areas
that have highly concentrated populations and high property value concentrations. We pre-qualify all mortgage brokerage firms to determine their financial strength, creditworthiness, existing wholesale relationships and current technology
capabilities, and to ensure that their core business relationships resemble our customer profile. We assess the mortgage brokerage firms compliance with these qualifications on an annual basis. In addition to pre-approving mortgage brokerage
firms, we maintain a list of pre-approved settlement agents and require certain insurance policies to be obtained from the closing agents to mitigate any risk of misappropriation of funds. Prior to origination, we review all of the loan applications
submitted by our mortgage brokerage firms to ensure product quality and compliance with our underwriting guidelines. Currently, none of our mortgage brokerage firms are offered delegated underwriting status.

We have a strategic partnership with a third-party provider for our wholesale web portal and obtain an insured closing protection letter on all closings.
We oversee the activities of these service providers through on-site visits, report monitoring, customer service surveys and post-closing quality control.

Direct Retail Lending

In the direct retail channel, we capitalize on our competitive advantages
including our portfolio lending capability, cost-efficient operation, strategic partnerships, and available technology, to offer current and prospective borrowers attractive and innovative mortgage products, competitive mortgage rates, and a high
level of customer service. We originate mortgage loans through TMHL, which is authorized to originate loans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Our direct retail lending model is built upon strategic partnerships with third-party providers of traditional back office processing and underwriting and other services such as appraisals, title and
settlement services. We utilize agreements with one third-party, private label fulfillment vendor for the processing, underwriting and closing of our direct retail loans. In addition, we work with nationally recognized providers of appraisal,
credit, title insurance and settlement services. We oversee the activities of these service providers through on-site visits, report monitoring, customer service surveys, post-closing quality control, and periodic direct participation in the
customer experience. These services are provided on a private label basis, meaning that these providers identify themselves as being our representatives. The benefit to us of this arrangement is that we pay for these services as we use them, without
a significant investment in personnel, systems, office space and equipment.

We use three approaches to originate loans directly with
borrowers. We originate loans via our personal service center, where borrowers can call to inquire about loan products and interest rates, seek advice and counseling regarding qualifying for a loan and the approval process, and complete a mortgage
application. The completed mortgage loan application along with a request for additional supporting documentation is then sent to the borrower for signature. Our loan processors, or their third-party agents, are responsible for working with the
borrower to complete the processing of the loan application, obtain a final loan approval and schedule the loan for closing. The personal service center also originates loans as a result of outbound telephone calls to current customers. We also
offer mortgages on-line utilizing third-party, private label and web-based origination systems. Prospective borrowers are able to look up mortgage loan product and interest rate information through our website, obtain access to a variety of mortgage
calculators and consumer help features, submit an application on-line and begin the process of obtaining pre-approval of their loan. Once a mortgage loan application has been submitted, one of our representatives will assist the borrower in
completing the loan process.

Bulk Loan Acquisitions

Third-party mortgage originators or aggregators sell us pools of single-family residential Traditional ARM and Hybrid ARM loans at market prices, with or without the servicing rights. The loans are originated using
the sellers loan products, programs and underwriting guidelines. Additionally, the originator performs the credit review of the borrower, the appraisal of the property and the quality control procedures. We usually only consider the purchase
of loans when the borrowers have had their income or assets verified, their credit checked and appraisals of the properties have been obtained. We or a third party due diligence firm then perform an independent underwriting review of the processing,
underwriting and loan closing documentation that the originators used in qualifying a borrower for a loan. Depending on the size of the loan package, we may not review all of the loans in a bulk package of loans, but rather select loans for
underwriting review based upon specific risk-based criteria such as property location, loan size, effective loan-to-value ratio, borrowers credit score and other criteria that we believe to be important indicators of credit risk. Additionally,
prior to the purchase of loans, we obtain



9

##### Table of Contents

representations and warranties from each seller stating that each loan either meets the sellers pre-approved underwriting standards and other
requirements or is underwritten to our standards. A seller who breaches such representations and warranties in making a loan that we purchase may be obligated to repurchase the loan. As added security, we use the services of a third-party document
custodian to insure the quality and accuracy of individual mortgage loan collateral documents and to hold the required documents in safekeeping. As a result, a majority of the required original individual loan collateral documents that are signed by
the borrower, other than the original credit verification documents, are examined, verified and held by the custodian.

Adfitech
Operations

In August 2006, we acquired Adfitech, a provider of quality control post-closing audit and document delivery services to the
mortgage industry, from a subsidiary of Centex Corporation. Prior to the acquisition, we partnered with Adfitech for three years on an outsourced basis for quality control services, imaging and other selected mortgage-related functions that
supported our loan origination business across all loan origination channels  correspondent, wholesale and direct retail.

The
acquisition expands our operational platform and gives us increased control over many of the back-office operations needed to grow our loan origination business. Adfitech operates as a separate business unit as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMHL and
serves its mortgage lending clients from its headquarters in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Mortgage Loan Servicing

We obtain the servicing rights on a majority of the loans we originate through the correspondent
lending channel and on all of the loans we originate in the wholesale and direct retail lending channels, with the intention of providing borrowers with ongoing high quality customer service, as well as the opportunity to participate in The
Thornburg Mortgage Exchange ProgramSM. These efforts are designed to lower prepayment rates on the portfolio through customer retention. We contract
with a third-party subservicer to service our loans on a private label basis. The third-party subservicer collects mortgage loan payments, manages escrow accounts, provides monthly statements and notices to borrowers, offers on-line mortgage
servicing information and provides customer service, loan collection, mortgage exchange processing, loss mitigation, foreclosure, bankruptcy and real estate-owned management services. We actively monitor and manage the activities of our subservicer,
and pay fees for this service based on a fixed fee schedule per mortgage loan. We also advance funds to the subservicer as needed when there is a shortfall in the escrow activity.

Underwriting Guidelines

Our underwriting guidelines for the correspondent,
wholesale and direct retail channels are intended to determine the collateral value of the mortgaged property and to consider the borrowers credit standing and repayment ability. We perform an underwriting review of 100% of the loans we
originate through these channels. Each prospective borrower completes an application that includes information with respect to the applicants assets, liabilities, income and employment history, as well as certain other personal information.
Generally, a credit report is required for each applicant from at least one credit reporting company. The report typically contains information relating to matters such as credit history with local and national merchants and lenders, installment
debt payments and any record of default, bankruptcy, repossession, suit or judgment. At December 31, 2007, our borrowers had an average FICO score, which is a composite indication of the borrowers credit performance, of 744. On a case-by-case
basis, we may determine that, based upon compensating factors, a prospective borrower not strictly qualifying under the applicable underwriting guidelines warrants an underwriting exception. Compensating factors may include, but are not limited to,
low loan-to-value ratios, low debt-to-income ratios, excellent credit history, stable employment, financial reserves, and time in residence at the applicants current address.

Our underwriting guidelines for the correspondent lending, wholesale lending and direct retail lending channels are applied in accordance with a procedure that generally requires at least one
appraisal, and for larger loan amounts, multiple appraisals and field reviews. All appraisals are reviewed and values may be adjusted downward to reflect declining market trends for a specific area. Our underwriting guidelines permit single-family
mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios at origination of up to 95% (or, with respect to additional collateral mortgage loans, up to 100%) for the highest credit-grading category, depending on the creditworthiness of the borrower, the type and use
of the property, the purpose of the loan application and the loan amount. It is our policy that loans with original loan-to-value ratios greater than 80% must either have mortgage insurance or additional collateral securing the loan.

Loan Quality Control

We employ a number of pre- and post-funding measures to ensure the quality of our loans. In addition to our internal pre-funding underwriting and loan documentation reviews on 100% of our wholesale and non-delegated
correspondent loans, we maintain strict oversight of our retail lending third party providers. We also utilize a third party database company to conduct pre-funding fraud audits on 100% of our wholesale loans and on at least 50% of our direct retail
and correspondent loans. These checks validate loan application data via relational databases and logic to identify potentially fraudulent data. In addition, we re-verify the accuracy of Truth in Lending disclosures on an adversely selected sample
equal to roughly 45% of correspondent loans and on 100% of wholesale and retail loans.

Post-funding, TMHLs wholly-owned subsidiary,
Adfitech, reviews 100% of our wholesale loans and a 15-25% sample of our correspondent and direct retail loans generally within one month of funding. The sample of correspondent loans includes 100% of loans originated through correspondents with
delegated underwriting status. In the future, it is likely we will decrease the number of reviews performed by Adfitech on wholesale loans once we have sufficient evidence of the effectiveness of our underwriting and operating guidelines. These are
extensive audits that involve a full evaluation of the underwriting decision and a re-verification of loan documentation. Our internal quality control department reviews all findings. Significant findings are circulated within relevant departments
and provided to applicable correspondents and mortgage brokerage firms. Summary reports are prepared for management and the Board of Directors.

Exceptional Credit Quality

One of our strategic focuses is high credit quality assets. We believe this strategy minimizes
our credit losses and financing costs. As of December 31, 2007, 97.52% of our ARM Asset portfolio was High Quality. We remain committed to preserving strong asset quality. In the fourth quarter of 2007, only one of our Purchased ARM Assets with
a carrying value of $907,000 had been downgraded.

Our High Quality ARM Assets include A quality ARM loans that we have
purchased or originated and securitized either into ARM pass-through certificates or into Collateralized Mortgage Debt financings for our own portfolio. We retain the risk of potential credit losses on all of these loans. The credit quality of our
originated and bulk purchased loans remains exceptional. At December 31, 2007, our 60-plus day delinquent loans and REO were 0.44% of our $24.5 billion portfolio of securitized and unsecuritized loans, significantly below the comparable
industry conventional prime ARM loan 60-plus day delinquency and REO percentage of 4.23% measured as of September 30, 2007, the most recent date for which Mortgage Bankers Association data is available. While we experienced an increase in
delinquent loans and REO during the year from 0.21% at December 31, 2006, the credit performance of our loans still ranks among the best in the industry. The following table summarizes the 114 delinquent loans out of the 37,125 loans in our
$24.5 billion ARM loan portfolio as of December 31, 2007 (dollar amounts in thousands):

As of December 31, 2007, we owned thirty REO as a result of foreclosing on delinquent loans in the amount of $17.0 million (not included in the table above). We increased our provision for loan losses by $6.7
million in 2007, with an allowance for loan losses of $10.8 million at December 31, 2007. The $6.7 million provision includes $2.3 million to replenish the general reserves related to unrealized but expected losses recorded on single-family
residential properties that we hold for sale in our portfolio as REO. We realized loan losses of $786,000 in 2007, bringing cumulative realized losses

on loans that we have originated or acquired since 1997 to $960,000. We believe that our current allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable
losses inherent in the ARM Loan portfolio at December 31, 2007. We continue to monitor performance in various geographic markets and continue to believe our portfolio is geographically well diversified and not unduly subject to any individual
market stresses.

In 2006, we began acquiring Traditional Pay Option ARMs as well as Purchased Securitized Loans collateralized by
Traditional Pay Option ARMs because they represented an opportunity to earn a better investment return even after taking into account the increased potential for losses due to mortgage loan defaults. As of December 31, 2007, we held $1.0
billion of Traditional Pay Option ARMs in our ARM loan portfolio, the majority of which were purchased through bulk loan acquisitions, and $377.1 million of Traditional Pay Option ARMs in our Purchased Securitized Loans portfolio. Our last
Traditional Pay Option ARM purchase was in January 2007, and we are no longer acquiring or originating this type of loan for our portfolio. The following table summarizes the delinquent Traditional Pay Option ARMs as of December 31, 2007

Our Fixed Option ARMs and Traditional Pay Option ARMs in our ARM Loan portfolio had an average original effective loan-to-value ratio of 67.7% and an average original FICO score of 719 at December 31, 2007. We
believe that our current allowance for loan losses of $10.8 million is adequate to cover probable losses on Traditional Pay Option ARMs inherent in the ARM Loan portfolio at December 31, 2007. During 2007, we determined that the delinquencies
in our Purchased Securitized Loans backed by Traditional Pay Option ARMs suggest that eventual losses may exceed prior expectations. Therefore, we recorded a $7.5 million impairment charge against those securities during 2007 increasing our
non-accretable discount on Purchased Securitized Loans backed by Traditional Pay Option ARMs to $10.8 million and our total non-accretable discount to $21.7 million at December 31, 2007. In 2007, we have realized losses of $912,000 with respect
to those securities but some additional losses are expected. Further, we are actively pursuing reselling certain of the underlying loans back to the originator as a result of our belief that the originator breached various representations and
warranties in the original purchase contract. To the extent that such repurchase obligations can be enforced, we will further reduce our exposure to credit losses on these mortgage securities. Additionally, because we sold some of the senior classes
of some of our Purchased Securitized Loans in 2007 and retained all of the lower rated classes of those securities, the total outstanding balance of loans for which we have credit risk in our Purchased Securitized Loan portfolio is $5.9 billion.
Other than one Purchased Securitized Loan security backed by Pay Option ARMs, the remainder of our Purchased Securitized Loans are performing as expected from a credit perspective. We believe the losses inherent in our Purchased Securitized Loan
portfolio at December 31, 2007 are appropriately reflected in the fair value of these assets.

Financing Strategies

We finance our ARM Assets using common and preferred equity capital, unsecured debt, Collateralized Mortgage Debt and short-term borrowings such as Reverse Repurchase Agreements, whole loan financing facilities and
other collateralized financings that we may establish in the future. Prior to August 2007, we also financed our ARM Assets using Asset-backed CP. As discussed in the Executive Overview section beginning on page 32, commercial paper
investors stopped investing in mortgage-backed commercial paper programs similar to ours and we are not able to issue new commercial paper using the extendable maturity program that we had been using. See Hedging Strategies below
for a discussion of how we convert short-term borrowings into the equivalent of long-term fixed-rate financing for purposes of managing our interest rate risk.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements involve a simultaneous sale of pledged securities to a lender at an agreed-upon price in return for our agreement to repurchase the same securities at a future date (the maturity of the
borrowing) at a higher price. The price difference is the cost of borrowing under these agreements. At December 31, 2007, we had lines of credit and collateralized financing agreements with 13 different financial institutions and had committed
Reverse Repurchase Agreement financing capacity of $2.25 billion that expires between March and June of 2008. As of March 6, 2008, four of these lenders had issued notices of events of default under Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The aggregate
amount of borrowings outstanding with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. Our other Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured lending arrangements contain cross-default provisions and the related lenders could declare an event of
default at any time. We have entered into a temporary agreement with our remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls through Monday, March 10, 2008, and we are trying to negotiate an extension of that
agreement while we pursue strategies to more permanently increase available liquidity. The lenders have no obligation to extend this agreement.

We enter into four types of Reverse Repurchase Agreements: variable rate term Reverse Repurchase Agreements, fixed-rate Reverse Repurchase Agreements, structured Reverse Repurchase Agreements and committed Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Our
variable rate term Reverse Repurchase Agreements are financings with original maturities ranging from two to twelve months. The fixed-rate Reverse Repurchase Agreements have original maturities from one to six months. Our structured Reverse
Repurchase Agreements incorporate elements of both the variable rate term and the fixed-rate Reverse Repurchase Agreements, usually have a call feature, and have original maturities ranging from three to five years. The interest rates on the
variable rate term and structured Reverse Repurchase Agreements are generally indexed to the one-month LIBOR rate, and reprice accordingly. The committed Reverse Repurchase Agreements are financings placed on pre-negotiated, committed lines of
credit. The commitment fees are non-refundable and interest rates are generally higher than un-committed facilities due to the guaranteed term of financing. In addition, the ARM Assets pledged as collateral must meet pre-negotiated eligibility
requirements. Generally, upon repayment of each Reverse Repurchase Agreement, we immediately pledge the ARM Assets used to collateralize the financing to secure a new Reverse Repurchase Agreement.

We have an Asset-backed CP facility, which until the dislocation in the credit markets beginning in August 2007, provided us with an alternative way to
finance our High Quality ARM Assets portfolio. The notes were collateralized by Agency Securities and AAA-rated, adjustable-rate MBS that we either purchased or created through our loan securitization process. As of February 29, 2008, the
Company had paid all of the commercial paper at maturity; however, on March 3, 2008, the Company extended the maturity date of the remaining outstanding Asset-backed CP of $300.0 million to April 14, 2008.

Because we borrow money under Reverse Repurchase Agreements based on the fair value of our ARM Assets, our borrowing ability under these agreements could
be limited and lenders could initiate margin calls or change margin requirements if the value of our ARM Assets declines due to interest rate changes or for other reasons.

We have also financed the origination and purchase of ARM Assets by issuing hedged floating-rate, fixed-rate, and pass-through rate Collateralized Mortgage Debt in the capital markets. The
Collateralized Mortgage Debt is collateralized by ARM Loans that are placed in a trust. The trust pays the principal and interest payments on the debt out of the cash flows received on the collateral and related Hedging Instruments. This structure
enables us to make more efficient use of our capital because these financings are not subject to margin calls and, therefore, the capital requirement to support these financings is less than the amount our policy requires to support the same amount
of financings in the Reverse Repurchase Agreement or Asset-backed CP markets.

We have financing facilities, or credit lines, for whole
loans. A whole loan is the actual mortgage loan evidenced by a note and secured by a mortgage or deed of trust. We use these financing facilities to finance our acquisition and origination of whole loans while we are accumulating loans for
securitization.

We have issued Senior Notes in the amount of $305.0 million as a form of long-term capital. The Senior
Notes bear interest at 8.0%, payable each May 15 and November 15, and mature on May 15, 2013. The Senior Notes are unsecured and are redeemable at a declining premium, in whole or in part, beginning on May 15, 2008, and at par
beginning on May 15, 2011.

We have issued Subordinated Notes in the amount of $240.0 million as another form of long-term capital.
The Subordinated Notes bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 7.47% per annum through the interest payment dates between October 2015 and January 2016, and thereafter at a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a weighted
average margin of 2.56% per annum, payable each January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30, and mature between October 30, 2035 and April 30, 2036. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured and are
redeemable at par, in whole or in part, beginning on October 30, 2010. The Subordinated Notes may also be redeemed at a premium under limited circumstances on or before October 30, 2010.

Capital Utilization

The Board of
Directors has approved a policy that limits our capacity to borrow funds to finance mortgage assets based on long-term capital. We monitor the relationship between our assets, borrowings and long-term capital using a variety of different measures.
However, the primary operating policy that limits our borrowings and leverage is a requirement to maintain our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio, a non-GAAP measurement, at a minimum of 8%. Broadly speaking, this ratio reflects the relationship
between those assets financed with borrowings that are subject to margin calls and our long-term capital position. As of December 31, 2007, we were operating at an Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio of 13.22%. See further discussion of capital
utilization and leverage beginning on page 48 and the calculation of our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio on page 49.

Liquidity
Management and Going Concern

As described in the Explanatory Note on page 4 and Item 7 of Part II, Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsRestatement of Financial Statements, we have substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2007. The realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, our available liquidity to meet margin calls resulting from changes in the fair market value of our Purchased ARM Assets
collateralizing Reverse Repurchase Agreements and the continued availability of financing for our ARM Assets. We had readily available liquidity of approximately $580.0 million at December 31, 2007. Through March 6, 2008, we had received
$1.8 billion in margin calls since December 31, 2007 and had satisfied $1.2 billion of those margin calls primarily by using our available liquidity, principal and interest payments and proceeds from the sale of assets. At March 6, 2008,
we had outstanding margin calls of $610.0 million which significantly exceeded our available liquidity at that date. Also through March 6, 2008, we had received notices of event of default under Reverse Repurchase Agreements from four different
lenders. The aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. Our Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured lending arrangements contain cross-default provisions and the related lenders could
declare an event of default at any time. We have entered into a temporary agreement with our remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls through Monday, March 10, 2008 while we pursue strategies
to increase available liquidity. The lenders have no obligation to extend this agreement.

We are working to meet all of our outstanding
margin calls within a timeframe acceptable to our lenders, by either selling portfolio securities, issuing Collateralized Mortgage Debt or raising additional debt or equity capital. Since December 31, 2007 and through March 6, 2008, we
have reduced our portfolio of ARM assets financed with recourse financing by approximately $4.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion has been permanently financed, in order to reduce our exposure to margin calls. The estimated fair value of Purchased ARM
Assets and Securitized ARM Loans held at December 31, 2007 still remaining in our portfolio at March 6, 2008 has declined by approximately $1.0 billion. We have also raised $488.0 million in equity capital since December 31, 2007 and
are continuing to seek to raise additional capital in order to provide a more stable base of liquidity during what we expect to be difficult market conditions for at least several months.

In the normal course of business, our primary focus is to acquire and originate high quality, highly liquid mortgage assets such that sufficient assets could be readily converted to cash, if
necessary, in order to meet our financial obligations. In addition to limitations on our ability to leverage our capital based upon our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio, we have a Liquidity Management Policy, which is designed to forecast potential
shortfalls in liquidity resulting from increases or decreases in interest rates. The Liquidity Management Policy requires the frequent measurement of the potential market value exposure of the portfolio to a 100 BP instantaneous parallel increase in
interest rates above expected future interest rates as well as a 100 BP instantaneous parallel decrease in interest rates below expected future interest rates. The calculated potential mark-to-market exposure resulting from this scenario is
probability weighted, increased by a multiple of three, and compared to recent

minimum liquidity levels in order to determine whether management needs to take specific actions to improve liquidity or further reduce interest rate risk.
At December 31, 2007, we had Unencumbered Assets of $692.4 million, consisting of unpledged ARM Assets, cash and cash equivalents, and other assets and readily available liquidity of approximately $580.0 million. However, these amounts change
daily as financing agreements mature and are rolled over, as market prices or margin amounts for financing MBS change and as we meet other working capital needs. Therefore, these period end liquidity amounts are not reflective of our intra quarter
daily liquidity position.

Hedging Strategies

We attempt to manage our exposure to changing interest rates by funding our ARM Assets with a combination of short-term borrowings and Hedging Instruments with a combined Effective Duration of less than one year. Some
of our borrowings are at interest rates that are either variable or short-term (one year or less) because a portion of our ARM Assets, the Traditional ARM Assets, have interest rates that adjust within one year. We finance our Hybrid ARM portfolio
with borrowings hedged with Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments that fix the interest rate on our floating-rate borrowings such that the Net Effective Duration is less than one year. As Net Effective Duration approaches zero, a lower volatility of
earnings is expected when interest rates change during future periods. When we enter into a Swap Agreement, we agree to pay a fixed rate of interest and to receive a variable interest rate, generally based on LIBOR. We purchase Cap Agreements by
incurring a one-time fee or premium. Pursuant to the terms of the Cap Agreements, we will receive cash payments if the interest rate index specified in any such Cap Agreement increases above contractually specified levels. Therefore, such Cap
Agreements have the effect of capping the interest rate on a portion of our borrowings above a specified level instead of fixing our cost of funds as in a swap transaction. The notional amounts of the Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments generally decline
over the life of these instruments. As of December 31, 2007, our Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments had an estimated remaining average term to maturity of 2.3 years before considering the effects of prepayments and when combined with our Hybrid ARM
Assets and related borrowings had a Net Effective Duration of approximately 0.69 years, including the effects of estimated prepayments.

We
may enter into Pipeline Hedging Instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with commitments to purchase ARM Loans from our correspondent lending partners. The gain (loss) on the Pipeline Hedging Instruments is expected to offset the gain
(loss) recorded for the change in fair value of those loan commitments.

We may enter into additional hedging transactions designed to
protect our borrowing costs or portfolio yields from interest rate changes. We may purchase interest-only or principal-only mortgage assets or other mortgage derivative products for purposes of mitigating risk from interest
rate changes. We may also use, from time to time, futures contracts and options on futures contracts on the Eurodollar, Federal Funds, Treasury bills and Treasury notes and similar financial instruments to mitigate risk from changing interest rates.

The hedging transactions that we currently use are primarily designed to protect our income during periods of changing market interest
rates and also may have the benefit of protecting our portfolio market value. However, as was true in the third quarter of 2007, it is possible that during uncertain interest rate or credit markets, the value of our Hedging Instruments could decline
at the same time the values of our mortgage assets are declining. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Further, no hedging strategy can completely insulate us from risk, and certain of the federal income tax
requirements that we must satisfy to qualify as a REIT may limit our ability to hedge. We carefully monitor and may have to limit our hedging strategies to ensure that we do not realize excessive hedging income or hold hedging assets having excess
value in relation to total assets.

Operating Restrictions

Management has recommended and the Board of Directors has established our operating and investment policies and strategies. The Board of Directors reviews the implementation of these policies and
strategies on a quarterly basis. Any revisions in such policies and strategies require the approval of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent directors. Management can recommend and the Board of Directors can approve the
modification or alteration of such policies without the consent of our shareholders.

We have elected to qualify as a REIT for income tax
purposes. We have adopted certain compliance guidelines, which include restrictions on our acquisition, holding and sale of assets, thus limiting the investment strategies that we may employ. Substantially all of the tax assets that we have acquired
and will acquire for investment are expected to be Qualified REIT Assets. We closely monitor our purchases of ARM Assets and the income from such assets, including from our hedging strategies, so that we maintain our qualification as a REIT at all
times. See page 18 for further discussion of the impact of certain transactions in 2007 on our compliance with the annual 95% REIT income test.

##### Table of Contents

We intend to conduct our business so as not to become regulated as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act. If we were to become regulated as an investment company, our ability to borrow funds to acquire additional assets would be substantially reduced. The Investment Company Act exempts from regulation entities that are
primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate. In order to maintain our exempt status under the Investment Company Act, current SEC staff
interpretations require that at least 55% of our assets must consist of Qualifying Interests, as such term has been defined by the SEC staff. We closely monitor our compliance with this requirement and we intend to maintain our exempt status. We
have been able to maintain our exemption so far through the origination of ARM Loans and the purchase of whole pool Agency Securities and privately issued ARM securities and loans that qualify for the exemption.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain
information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
based on our current expectations, estimates and projections. Pursuant to those sections, we may obtain a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by identifying those statements and by accompanying those statements with cautionary
statements, which identify factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are
forward-looking statements. The words believe, anticipate, intend, aim, expect, will, strive, target, project, estimate,
have confidence and similar words identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance, events or results and involve potential risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, our actual results may differ
from our current expectations, estimates and projections. Important factors that may affect our actual results or may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf
include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in yields on adjustable and variable rate mortgage assets available for purchase, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, changes in the supply of mortgage-backed
securities and loans, changes in market prices for mortgage securities, our ability to obtain financing and the terms of any financing that we do obtain, our ability to raise additional capital, our ability to retain or sell additional assets, our
ability to meet additional margin calls and our ability to continue as a going concern. Other factors that may impact our actual results are discussed in Risk Factors below. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release the
result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

COMPETITION

In acquiring ARM Assets, we compete with other mortgage REITs,
investment banking firms, savings and loan institutions, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, lenders, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other entities purchasing ARM Assets, many of which have greater financial resources than we
do. The existence of such entities may increase the competition for the acquisition of ARM Assets resulting in higher prices and lower yields on such mortgage assets.

EMPLOYEES

The Manager provides management and personnel, subject to the supervision of the Board of
Directors and under the terms of the Management Agreement discussed below. To date since the inception of our operations, the Manager has not engaged in any other activities besides the management of our operations although it is permitted to do so
under the terms of the Management Agreement. We had 400 employees at December 31, 2007. Additionally, the Manager had 161 employees, 125 of whom were directly engaged in the activities of TMHL.

The Management Agreement

The
Management Agreement, which expires in July 2014, provides for an annual review by the independent directors of the Board of Directors of the Managers performance and the reasonableness of the compensation paid to the Manager. If we terminate
the Management Agreement other than for cause, we must pay the Manager a substantial cancellation fee. The Management Agreement also provides that in the event a person or entity obtains more than 20% of Common Stock, we are combined with or
acquired by another entity, or we terminate the Management Agreement other than for cause, we are obligated to acquire substantially all of the Managers assets through an exchange of shares with a value based on a formula tied to the
Managers net profits. We have the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain specific events, including a material breach by the Manager of any provision contained in the Management Agreement.

##### Table of Contents

The Manager at all times is subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors and has only such
functions and authority as may be delegated to it. The Manager is responsible for our operations and performs all such services and activities relating to the management of our assets and operations.

The Manager receives an annual base management fee of 1.39% on the first $300 million of Average Historical Equity, plus 1.02% on Average Historical
Equity above $300 million but less than $1.5 billion. The additional fee earned on Average Historical Equity is limited to 0.90% on Average Historical Equity greater than $1.5 billion but less than $2.0 billion, to 0.84% for Average Historical
Equity greater than $2.0 billion but less than $2.5 billion, to 0.79% for Average Historical Equity greater than $2.5 billion but less than $3.0 billion, and is capped at 0.74% on any Average Historical Equity greater than $3.0 billion. These
percentages are subject to an inflation adjustment each July based on changes to the Consumer Price Index over the prior twelve month period. Each quarter, the Manager may earn a performance-based incentive fee of 20% of the Companys
annualized net income, before performance-based compensation, above an annualized ROE as defined in the Management Agreement equal to the Ten Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 1%, with the fee limited such that once the Manager has earned a performance
fee of $30 million, the performance fee percentage of 20% is reduced by 1% for each additional $5 million earned in performance fees until reaching a performance fee percentage of 15% for any amount greater than $50 million.

Subject to the limitations set forth below, we pay all our operating expenses except those that the Manager is specifically required to pay under the
Management Agreement. The operating expenses that the Manager is required to pay include the compensation of personnel who are performing management services for the Manager and the cost of office space, equipment and other overhead-related expenses
required in connection with those personnel providing management services for the Manager. The expenses that we are required to pay include costs related to the acquisition, disposition, securitization and financing of mortgage loans, the
compensation and expenses of operating personnel, marketing expenses, regular legal and auditing fees and expenses, the fees and expenses of our directors, the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to shareholders, the fees and expenses
of our custodian and the Agent, if any, and the reimbursement of any obligation of the Manager for any New Mexico gross receipts tax liability.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

General

We have elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In brief, if we meet certain detailed conditions imposed by the REIT provisions of the Code, such as investing primarily
in real estate and mortgage loans, we will not be taxed at the corporate level on the taxable income that we currently distribute to our shareholders. We can therefore avoid most of the double taxation (at the corporate level and then
again at the shareholder level when the income is distributed) that we would otherwise experience if we were not taxed as a REIT.

If we do
not qualify as a REIT in any given year, we would be subject to federal and state income tax as a domestic corporation, which would reduce the amount of the after-tax cash available for distribution to our shareholders. We believe that we have
satisfied the requirements for qualification as a REIT since the year ending in 1993. We intend at all times to continue to comply with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code, as described below.

In each year that we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income or capital gain
that we distribute to our shareholders. We are subject to corporate level taxation on any undistributed income. In addition, we face corporate level taxation due to any failure to make timely distributions, on the built-in gain on assets acquired
from a taxable corporation such as a taxable REIT subsidiary, on the income from any property that we take in foreclosure and on which we make a foreclosure property election, and on the gain from any property that is treated as dealer
property in our hands. TMHL, its subsidiary Adfitech, and TMHS are taxable REIT subsidiaries and, as such, are subject to both federal and state corporate income taxes.

Requirements for Qualification as a REIT

To
qualify for tax treatment as a REIT under the Code, we must meet certain tests, as described briefly below.

Ownership of Capital Stock

For all taxable years after the first taxable year for which we elected to be a REIT, a minimum of 100 persons must hold our shares of
capital stock for at least 335 days of a 12-month year (or a proportionate part of a short tax year). In addition, at all times during the second half of each taxable year, no more than 50% in value of our capital stock may be owned directly or



17

##### Table of Contents

indirectly by five or fewer individuals. We are required to maintain records regarding the ownership of our shares and to demand statements from persons who
own more than a certain percentage of our shares regarding their ownership of shares. We must keep a list of those shareholders who fail to reply to such a demand.

We are required to use the calendar year as our taxable year for income tax purposes.

Nature of Assets

On the last day of
each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of the consolidated tax assets of TMA, TMD, TMCR, TMFI and TMF must consist of Qualified REIT Assets, government securities, cash and cash items. On the last day of each calendar quarter, of the
assets not included in the foregoing 75% assets test, the value of securities that we hold issued by any one issuer may not exceed 5% in value of our total assets and we may not own more than 10% of any one issuers outstanding securities (with
an exception for a taxable REIT subsidiary and a qualified REIT subsidiary). Under that exception, the aggregate value of the securities issued by such taxable REIT subsidiaries is limited to 20% of the value of all of our total assets. We monitor
the purchase and holding of our assets in order to comply with the above asset tests.

We may from time to time hold, through one or more
taxable REIT subsidiaries, assets that, if we held them directly, could generate income that would have an adverse effect on our qualification as a REIT or on certain classes of our shareholders. We do not expect that the value of the securities
issued by such taxable subsidiaries, in the aggregate, will ever exceed 20% of the value of all of our assets.

Sources of Income

We must meet the following separate income-based tests each year:

1. The 75% Test.At least 75% of the consolidated gross taxable income of TMA, TMD TMCR, TMFI and TMF for the taxable year
must be derived from Qualified REIT Assets including interest (other than interest based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person) on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property. The investments
that we have made and will continue to make will give rise primarily to mortgage interest qualifying under the 75% income test.

2. The 95% Test.In addition to deriving 75% of our gross taxable income from the sources listed above, at least an additional 20% of our gross taxable income for the taxable year must be derived from those sources, or from
dividends, interest or gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or other assets that are not dealer property. We intend to limit substantially all of the tax assets that we acquire (other than stock in certain affiliate corporations as
discussed above) to Qualified REIT Assets. Our policy to maintain REIT status may limit the type of assets, including hedging contracts and other assets, which we otherwise might acquire.

In the third quarter of 2007, market conditions forced us to dispose of a significant portion of our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, which, until the time they were disposed of, were a
source of significant amounts of gross income that qualified for purposes of both the REIT annual 75% gross income test and the REIT annual 95% gross income test. At the same time, we were compelled to dispose of or otherwise terminate associated
Swap Agreements and thereby recognize a gain that is not eligible for exclusion from gross income under the special REIT hedging rule for purposes of the 95% gross income test.

The treatment of gains for the disposition or termination of such Swap Agreements for purposes of the 95% gross income test is not clear, and if such gross income is not qualifying for the 95%
gross income test, then we may have failed that test for the 2007 taxable year. We believe, however, that even if we are considered to have failed the 95% gross income test for our 2007 taxable year, our failure of the 95% gross income test would be
considered to be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. As such, the applicable tax law provides that we would not be disqualified as a REIT for failure of the 95% gross income test, provided that we complied with certain reporting
requirements and paid a tax based, in part, on the amount by which we failed the test. To the extent we are considered to have failed the 95% gross income test, we expect that any tax due would be less than $300,000 because the amount by which we
would be considered to have failed the 95% gross income test would be less that one percent.

In connection with a public offering of our
shares of Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock in January 2008, our special tax counsel rendered an opinion concluding that we have qualified to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, through our
taxable year ended December 31, 2007, and our organization and current and



18

##### Table of Contents

proposed method of operation will enable us to meet the requirement for qualification and taxation as a REIT in subsequent years.

Although as described above and under the section entitled Risk Factors beginning on page 19, we may have failed the annual 95% gross income
test for our 2007 taxable year, we believe that any such failure would be considered due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Moreover, our special tax counsel, in providing the opinion mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph, has
concluded that if we are considered to have failed the 95% gross income test for our 2007 taxable year, that such failure will be considered to be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect such that the failure will not result in our
disqualification as a REIT for the 2007 taxable year.

Opinions of counsel are not, however, binding on the Service or the courts. If,
notwithstanding the opinion of our special tax counsel, the Service were to assert that we failed the 95% gross income test for our 2007 taxable year and that such failure was not due to reasonable cause, and the courts were to sustain that
position, our status as a REIT would terminate as of December 31, 2006. We would not be eligible to again elect REIT qualification until our 2012 taxable year.

Distributions

We must (i) distribute at least 85% of our taxable income by the end of each
calendar year and (ii) declare dividends of at least 90% of our income by the time we file our tax return for such year, and pay such dividends no later than the date of the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. Income for
purposes of the 90% distribution requirement is determined (a) without the deduction of dividends paid, (b) by excluding net capital gain, (c) by including 90% of the excess of the net income from foreclosure property over the tax
imposed on such income by the Code, and (d) by subtracting any excess noncash income. We intend to declare and distribute dividends to our shareholders in sufficient amounts to meet the distribution requirement.

The Service has ruled that if a REITs dividend reinvestment plan allows shareholders of the REIT to elect to have cash distributions reinvested in
shares of the REIT at a purchase price equal to at least 95% of fair market value on the distribution date, then such cash distributions qualify under the 90% distribution test. We believe that the DRSPP complies with this ruling.

Taxation of Shareholders

For any
taxable year in which we are treated as a REIT for federal income purposes, the amounts that we distribute to our shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits will be includable by the shareholders as ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes unless properly designated by us as capital gain dividends. Our distributions will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Shareholders may not deduct any of our net operating losses or capital
losses.

Dividends paid by domestic, non-REIT corporations to shareholders other than corporations are now generally taxed at the rate
applicable to long-term capital gains, which is a maximum of 15%, subject to certain limitations. Because we are a REIT, however, our dividends generally will continue to be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates, except in limited circumstances
that we do not contemplate.

If we make distributions to our shareholders in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits,
those distributions will be considered first a tax-free return of capital, reducing the tax basis of a shareholders shares until the tax basis is zero. Distributions in excess of the tax basis will be taxable as gain realized from the sale of
our shares. We will withhold 30% of dividend distributions to shareholders that we know to be foreign persons unless the shareholder provides us with a properly completed Service form for claiming the reduced withholding rate under an applicable
income tax treaty.

The provisions of the Code are highly technical and complex. This summary is not intended to be a detailed discussion
of the Code or its rules and regulations, or of related administrative and judicial interpretations. We have not obtained a ruling from the Service with respect to tax considerations relevant to our organization or operation, or to an acquisition of
our equity capital. This summary is not intended to be a substitute for prudent tax planning and each of our shareholders is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor with respect to these and other federal, state and local tax consequences of the
acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of our stock and any potential changes in applicable law.

|Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

We actively
manage the risks associated with our business. Interest rate risks, credit risks, earnings volatility, REIT qualification risks and other risks are monitored, measured and quantified by management in order to assure minimal earnings and dividend
fluctuations. However, investors should understand the nature of the risks that we face. Any one of the key risk factors discussed below, or other factors not so discussed, could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and could
adversely affect our profitability. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the risks described below.

The occurrence of recent adverse developments in the mortgage finance and credit markets has adversely affected our business, our liquidity and our stock price, and has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.



| |  |  | In recent months, the mortgage industry has come under enormous pressure due to numerous economic and industry-related factors. Many companies operating in the
mortgage sector have failed and others are facing serious operating and financial challenges. At the same time, many mortgage securities have been downgraded and delinquencies and credit performance of mortgage loans in the industry have
deteriorated. We faced significant challenges during the second half of 2007 due to these adverse conditions in the mortgage industry and the difficulties we experienced in pricing and financing our mortgage assets, and are continuing to face these
challenges in 2008. There is no assurance that these conditions have stabilized or that they will not worsen. Recent adverse changes in the mortgage finance and credit markets have eliminated or reduced the availability, or increased the cost, of
significant sources of funding for us. Beginning in August 2007 and continuing through the current date, the fair value of our ARM Assets as well as our Hedging Instruments declined, our margin requirements on our financing increased and in August
2007 and March 2008 we sold a significant amount of assets and terminated Swap Agreements in order to reduce our exposure to further margin calls on recourse borrowings and hedging transactions. We have received a significant amount of margin calls
through March 6, 2008, which significantly exceeded our available liquidity at that date, and as a result, we have been unable to meet a portion of our margin calls. Through March 6, 2008, we had received notices of default under reverse
repurchase agreements from four lenders. Our receipt of notices of default triggered cross-defaults under all of our other reverse repurchase agreements and our secured loan agreements. Although we have entered into a temporary agreement with our
remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls through Monday, March 10, 2008, there is no assurance that we will be able to renew this agreement, that we will be able to obtain sufficient liquidity in
order to satisfy our liabilities, that the value of our Purchased ARM Assets, Securitized ARM Loans and Hedging Instruments will not decline further, that lenders will not make additional margin calls, that we will be able to satisfy additional
margin calls or that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The price of our Common Stock declined significantly as a result of these events and the impact on our results of our operations. There is no assurance that our stock price will
not continue to experience significant volatility as mortgage security prices continue to decline.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We face increasing
competition in our market from banks and other financial institutions.



| |  |  | We may not be able to compete effectively in our lending markets, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Our lending markets are highly
competitive. The increasingly competitive environment is a result of changes in the availability and terms of credit in the mortgage finance market. Banks have access to alternative sources of mortgage financing such as FDIC insured deposits and
Federal Home Loan Bank products which are not available to us. Financial institutions that are larger than we are may have greater access to capital markets, may be able to offer products similar to ours at lower costs and may offer a broader array
of services. Increased competition may result in a decrease in our loan originations or a higher cost to originate loans.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARM yields change as short-term interest rates change.



| |  |  | When short-term interest rates are low, the yields on our ARM Assets will be low, reducing our return on equity.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We own ARM Assets tied to various interest rate indices. If the interest rate indices applicable to our ARM Assets change independently of other market interest
rates, our ARM yields, spreads, premium amortization expense and earnings may be adversely affected.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We own ARM Assets with various repricing or interest rate adjustment frequencies. The yields on these assets also may respond to changes in their underlying
indices on a delayed basis due to borrower notification requirements. As a result, our yields and earnings on these assets could be temporarily below our longer-term expectations.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book value changes as interest rates change.



| |  |  | Increases in interest rates may result in a decline in the fair value of our ARM Assets that may not be fully offset by the value of our Hedging Instruments. A
decrease in the fair value of our ARM securities may result in an impairment loss and a reduction of our book value due to the accounting standards that we are required to follow.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The fair value of the Hedging Instruments we use to manage our interest rate risk may decline during periods of declining interest rates and may not be fully
offset by increases in the value of our ARM Assets, adversely affecting our book value because of the accounting standards that we are required to follow.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

We leverage our long term capital, which consists of equity and unsecured debt with borrowed money to
fund the purchase of additional ARM Assets. A significant contributor to our operations is the interest margin between the yield on our ARM Assets and the cost of our borrowings.



| |  |  | All of the risks highlighted above could be magnified because we use borrowed funds to acquire additional ARM Assets for our portfolio.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to borrow and our cost of borrowing could be further adversely affected by deterioration in the quality or fair value of our ARM Assets or by general
availability of credit in the mortgage market.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We borrow funds in the Reverse Repurchase Agreement market, and through whole loan financing facilities, based on the fair value of our ARM Assets less a margin
amount. If the fair value of our ARM Assets declines, the lenders opinion about the fair value of our ARM Assets changes or our margin requirements increase, we could be subject to margin calls that would require us to either pledge additional
ARM Assets as collateral or reduce our borrowings. If we did not have sufficient unpledged assets or liquidity to meet these requirements, we may need to sell assets again under adverse market conditions or at losses to satisfy our lenders.
Alternatively, the lender may terminate the lending agreement and sell the assets without our knowledge should we default under any of these lending agreements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our borrowings are tied primarily to the LIBOR interest rates, while our assets are indexed to LIBOR and other various interest rate indices. If these other
short-term indices move differently than LIBOR, our earnings or book value could be adversely affected to the extent of the difference.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If we are unable to re-finance our asset-backed commercial paper facilities which matures on April 14, 2008, reverse repurchase agreements which mature through
May 30, 2012, and whole loan financing facilities, which expire between April and December 2008, on favorable terms or at all, our liquidity and capital resources could be materially adversely affected.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our calculation of Effective Duration and Net Effective Duration are estimates based on assumptions about the expected behavior of our assets, liabilities and
Hedging Instruments that may prove to be empirically incorrect, and our Effective Duration and Net Effective Duration change with every change in interest rates. As a result, our actual exposure to changes in interest rates could be different than
that implied by our Effective Duration calculation.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The interest rate adjustment or repricing characteristics of our ARM Assets and borrowings may not be perfectly matched. Rising interest rates could adversely
affect our operations and dividends if the interest payments that we must make on our borrowings rise faster than the interest income we earn on our ARM Assets. Declining interest rates could adversely affect our earnings and dividends if the
interest income we receive on our ARM Assets declines more quickly than the interest payments that we must make on our borrowings. In general, our borrowings adjust more frequently than the interest rates on our ARM Assets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Some of our ARM Assets have caps that limit the amount that the interest rate can change for a given change in an underlying index. Our borrowings do not have
similar limitations. If the interest rate change on our ARM Assets is limited while the interest rates on our borrowings increase, our Portfolio Margins and operations may be adversely affected.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We employ various hedging and funding strategies to minimize the adverse impact that changing interest rates might have on our earnings, but our strategies may
prove to be less effective in practice than we anticipate, or our ability to use such strategies may be limited due to our need to comply with federal income tax requirements that are necessary to preserve our REIT status.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our mortgage assets may be prepaid at any time at the borrowers option.



| |  |  | Mortgage prepayment rates typically rise during falling interest rate environments. If mortgages prepay, the prepayment proceeds may be invested in lower
yielding assets, thus reducing operations.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mortgage prepayment rates typically fall during rising interest rate environments. If mortgages do not prepay, we would have less cash flow to use to purchase
new mortgage assets in a higher interest rate environment, potentially adversely affecting operations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We purchase and originate ARM Assets at prices greater than par. We amortize the premiums over the expected life of the ARM asset. To the extent that we have
purchased such assets, our yields, spreads and operations could be adversely affected if mortgage prepayment rates are greater than anticipated at the time of acquisition or if the index upon which the floating rate period interest rate is
calculated declines because we would have to amortize the premiums at a faster rate.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We acquire Hybrid ARM Assets
that have fixed interest rate periods.



| |  |  | A decline in interest rates may result in an increase in prepayment of our Hybrid ARM Assets, which could cause the amount of our fixed rate financing to
increase relative to the total amount of our Hybrid ARM Assets. This may
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



21

##### Table of Contents

| | result in a decline in our net spread on Hybrid ARM Assets as replacement Hybrid ARM Assets may have a lower yield than the assets that are paying off.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An increase in interest rates may result in a decline in prepayment of our Hybrid ARM Assets, requiring us to finance a greater amount of Hybrid ARM Assets than
originally anticipated at a time when interest rates may be higher, which would result in a decline in our net spread on Hybrid ARM Assets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We originate and acquire ARM Loans and ARM securities and have risk of loss due to mortgage loan defaults or fraud.



| |  |  | The ability of our borrowers to make timely principal and interest payments could be adversely affected by changes in their personal circumstances, a rise in
interest rates, a recession, declining real estate property values or other economic events, resulting in losses to us.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If a borrower defaults on a mortgage loan that we own and if the liquidation proceeds from the sale of the property do not cover our loan amount and our legal,
broker and selling costs, we would experience a loss.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We bear the risk of loss on loans we have originated or acquired due to hazard losses such as earthquakes, floods, fires or similar hazards, unless the homeowner
had insurance for such hazards.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We could experience losses if we fail to detect fraud, where a borrower or lending partner has misrepresented its financial situation or purpose for obtaining
the loan, or an appraisal misrepresented the value of the property collateralizing our loan.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We purchase ARM securities that have various degrees of third-party credit protection and are rated at least Investment Grade at the time of purchase. It is
possible that default and loan loss experience on the underlying securitized loans could exceed any credit enhancement, subjecting us to risk of loss.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our mortgage loan originations are dependent on external factors.



| |  |  | We rely on third-party providers who specialize in the underwriting, processing, servicing and closing of mortgage loans. We are dependent upon the availability
and quality of the performance of such providers and we cannot guarantee that they will successfully perform the services for which we engage them.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | As a mortgage lender, we are subject to changes in consumer and real estate-related laws and regulations that could subject us to lawsuits or adversely affect
our profitability or ability to remain competitive.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We must comply with the applicable licensing and other regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction in which we are authorized to lend. We are subject to
examination by each such jurisdiction, and if it is determined that we are not in compliance with the applicable requirements, we may be fined and our license to lend may be suspended or revoked.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are competing for mortgage loans against much larger, better-known mortgage originators that could affect our ability to acquire or originate ARM Assets at
attractive yields and spreads.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ARM Assets may not always be readily available for purchase or origination in the marketplace at attractive yields because their availability is somewhat
dependent on the relationship between 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rates and ARM rates.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our REIT qualification creates
certain risks.



| |  |  | The requirements to qualify for REIT tax status are complex and technical, and we may not be able to qualify for reasons beyond our control. A failure to qualify
as a REIT could subject our earnings to taxation at regular corporate rates, thereby reducing the amount of money available for distributions to our shareholders and for payment of principal and interest on our borrowings.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The REIT tax rules require that we distribute the majority of our earnings as dividends, leaving us limited ability to maintain our future dividend payments if
our earnings decline.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Because we must distribute the majority of our earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends, we have a limited amount of capital available to internally
fund our growth.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additionally, because we cannot retain earnings to grow, we must issue additional shares of stock to grow, which could result in the dilution of our outstanding
stock and an accompanying decrease in its market price.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in tax laws related to REIT qualifications or taxation of dividends could adversely affect us.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Service were to determine that (i) we failed the 95% REIT gross income test for our 2007 taxable year and (ii) our failure of that
test was not attributable to reasonable cause, but rather, willful neglect, we would fail to qualify as a REIT for our 2007 taxable year and this could adversely affect our shareholders.



22



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | If the gain we recognized upon disposition or other termination of Swap Agreements in 2007 is not qualifying income for purposes of the annual 95% REIT gross
income test, then we may have failed that test for our 2007 taxable year. We believe, however, that, if we in fact failed the test, our failure would be considered due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, and, therefore, we would not be
disqualified as a REIT for our 2007 taxable year. We would, however, be subject to a tax based, in part, on the amount by which we failed the 95% gross income test. We expect that the amount of such tax would not exceed $300,000.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If the Service were to assert that we failed the 95% gross income test for our 2007 taxable year and that such failure was not due to reasonable cause, and the
courts were to sustain that position, our status as a REIT would terminate for our 2007 taxable year. We would not be eligible to again elect REIT status until our 2012 taxable year.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The loss of the Investment Company Act exemption could adversely affect us.



| |  |  | We conduct our business so as not to become regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If we were to become regulated as an investment
company, we would not be able to operate as we currently do.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are dependent on certain key personnel.



| |  |  | We are dependent upon the efforts of Garrett Thornburg, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Larry A. Goldstone, our President and our Chief Executive
Officer, Clarence G. Simmons, III, our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Paul G. Decoff, our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer, all of whom are also key officers and employees of the Manager.
The loss of any of their services could have an adverse effect on our operations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of our directors and officers
have ownership interests in the Manager, which may create conflicts of interest.



| |  |  | The Manager is entitled to receive performance-based compensation based on our annualized return on equity. Undue emphasis placed on maximization of our
short-term return on equity at the expense of other criteria could result in increased risk to our long-term return on equity.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may change our policies without shareholder approval.



| |  |  | Management recommends and the Board of Directors establishes all of our operating policies, including our investment, financing and dividend policies. Our Board
of Directors has the ability and authority to revise or amend those policies without shareholder approval.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our
technology infrastructure and systems are critical to our success.



| |  |  | Our ability to originate, acquire and purchase ARM Assets and manage the related interest rate risks and credit risks is critical to our success and is highly
dependent upon the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. Some of these systems are located at our facility and some are maintained by third party vendors. Any significant interruption
in the availability and functionality of these systems could harm our business.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Although we believe we have taken appropriate measures to provide for the security of our systems, our security measures may not effectively prohibit others from
obtaining improper access to our information. If a person is able to circumvent our security measures, he or she could destroy or misappropriate valuable information or disrupt our operations. Any security breach could expose us to risks of data
loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and harm our reputation.

United States District Court, District of New Mexico

On August 21, 2007, a complaint for a securities class action entitled Slater v. Thornburg, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico against
the Company and certain of our officers and directors. Subsequently, three similar class action complaints were filed in the Southern District of New York, and one more was filed in the District of New Mexico. All five complaints allege that the
Company and the other named defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false and misleading statements in financial reports filed with the SEC, press releases and other public statements, which resulted in artificially inflated market
prices of the Companys common stock, and that the named plaintiff and members of the putative class purchased common stock at these artificially inflated market prices. Two complaints allege a class period running from October 6, 2005
through August 17, 2007, one alleges a class period running from October 6, 2005 through August 20, 2007, and two more allege a class period running from April 19, 2007 through August 14, 2007. Each complaint seeks
unspecified money damages. The five actions have been formally consolidated in the District of New Mexico, and will be litigated as a single proceeding The Company believes the allegations are without merit, and intends to defend against them
vigorously.

Donio v. Thornburg, et al.,filed August 24, 2007

First Judicial District Court (Santa Fe County, New Mexico)

On August 24, 2007, a shareholder derivative complaint, or the Derivative Complaint, entitled Donio v. Thornburg, et al. was filed in the First Judicial District Court
(Santa Fe County, New Mexico). The Derivative Complaint alleges that certain of our officers and all of our directors violated state law, breached their fiduciary duties, and were unjustly enriched, during the period between October 2005 and the
date of filing of the complaint, resulting in substantial monetary losses and other damages to the Company. The Derivative Complaint seeks unspecified money damages, along with changes in corporate governance and internal procedures. The Company
believes the allegations are without merit, and intends to defend against them vigorously. All parties to this action have stipulated to an indefinite stay of all proceedings, and have asked the court to enter an order accordingly.

Pursuant to Section 6707A(e) of the Code, we must disclose if we have been required to pay a penalty to the Service for failing to make required
disclosures with respect to certain transactions that have been identified by the Service as abusive or that have a significant tax avoidance purpose. During 2007, we did not enter into any such transactions and were not required to pay a penalty to
the Service for failing to make the required disclosures.

In order to qualify for the tax benefits accorded to a REIT under the Code, we intend to pay quarterly dividends such that all or substantially all of
our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) is distributed to our shareholders. All of the distributions that we make will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings and financial condition,
maintenance of REIT status and any other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase
Plan

The DRSPP allows shareholders of Common and Preferred Stock to have their dividends reinvested in additional shares of Common
Stock. The Common Stock to be acquired under the DRSPP may be purchased from us, or in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at our sole discretion. Shares purchased from us may be purchased at a discount from the then prevailing
market price, at our sole discretion. Shareholders and non-shareholders may also make monthly cash purchases of Common Stock, subject to a minimum of $100 per month ($500 minimum initial investment for new investors) and a maximum of $10,000 per
month for each optional cash purchase, although we may waive the limitation on the maximum amount upon request, at our sole discretion. The Agent is the trustee and administrator of the DRSPP. Shareholders who own stock that is registered in their
own name and want to participate in the DRSPP must deliver a completed enrollment form to the Agent. Shareholders who own stock that is registered in a name other than their own (e.g., broker or bank nominee) and want to participate in the DRSPP
must either request the broker or nominee to participate on their behalf or request that the broker or nominee re-register the stock in the shareholders name and deliver a completed enrollment form to the Agent. Additional information about
the DRSPP (including a prospectus) and forms are available from the Agent or us.

Total Return Comparison

The following graph presents a total return comparison of the Common Stock for the five-year period from December 31, 2002 through December 31, 2007, to the FTSE NAREIT All REIT, the
Bloomberg Mortgage REIT Index and the Standard and Poors 500 Financials Index. The total return reflects stock price appreciation and the value of dividends for the Common Stock and for each of the comparative indices. We obtained this
information from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we do not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in the Common Stock and each index was $100 on December 31, 2002, and that all
dividends were reinvested. The total return performance shown on the graph is not necessarily indicative of future total return performance.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measurements to comparable GAAP financial measurements

Taxable income per share

As a REIT, we pay substantially all of our taxable earnings in the form of dividends to shareholders. Therefore, taxable income per share is a meaningful financial measurement for both management and investors. A
reconciliation of our REIT estimated taxable income per common share to GAAP EPS (basic) follows:

Historical book value per share

Historical book value per share excludes unrealized market value adjustments recorded on our ARM securities and Hedging Instruments. Since we are a
portfolio lender and retain the majority of our assets for investment, we believe this provides a more consistent measurement for analysis of the trend than does the comparable GAAP measurement, which reflects unrealized gains (losses) at a single
point in time. In addition, GAAP requires that we record unrealized gains (losses) on our purchased ARM securities as of the period end while prohibiting us from recording unrealized gains (losses) on ARM Loans, resulting in dissimilar treatment of
what we believe to be assets of like quality. Unrealized gains (losses) on our ARM securities are primarily a result of current market expectation as to future interest rates as compared to the current weighted average coupon on our ARM securities.
A reconciliation of historical book value per share to GAAP book value per share follows:

|Item 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and supplementary data as presented in Item 8 of this amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. All applicable disclosures in this Item 7 have been modified to reflect the Restatement described below. All of the numbers impacted by
the Restatement in this section are as restated. Items in this section have also been updated to reflect what we believe were significant subsequent events.

Restatement of Financial Statements

We have restated our consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K originally filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008. We have been significantly and negatively impacted by the events and conditions impacting the
broader mortgage loan market. The mortgage market, including prime, has been adversely affected by weakening house prices and increasing rates of delinquencies and defaults, which in turn has led to significantly reduced levels of liquidity
available from lenders that provide financing to us.

Our consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We may not, however, be able to continue as a going concern. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, our available liquidity to meet margin calls resulting from changes in the fair market value of our Purchased ARM Assets collateralizing Reverse Repurchase Agreements and the
continued availability of financing for our ARM Assets.

We had readily available liquidity of approximately $580.0 million
at December 31, 2007. Since December 31, 2007 and through March 6, 2008, we have received $1.8 billion in margin calls and have satisfied $1.2 billion of those margin calls primarily by using our available liquidity, principal and
interest payments and proceeds from the sale of assets. At March 6, 2008, we had outstanding margin calls of $610.0 million which significantly exceeded our available liquidity at that date. Also through March 6, 2008, we have received
notices of event of default under Reverse Repurchase Agreements from four different lenders. The aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. Our Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured
lending arrangements contain cross-default provisions and the related lenders could declare an event of default at any time. We have entered into a temporary agreement with our remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes
additional margin calls through Monday, March 10, 2008, and we are trying to negotiate an extension of that agreement while we pursue strategies to more permanently increase available liquidity. The lenders have no obligation to extend this
agreement.

At December 31, 2007, we had two committed whole loan financing facilities for a total of $600 million and two
uncommitted facilities totaling $1.0 billion. Each of the whole loan facilities has a financial covenant requiring profitability in each of the previous four quarters. Due to losses we experienced on asset sales during the third quarter of 2007, we
requested waivers of this covenant from each lender, which were granted. We did not receive a waiver from lenders for the loss in the fourth quarter of 2007 that was the result of the other-than-temporary impairment loss that is reflected in these
restated financial statements. In addition, on February 28, 2008, the notice of event of default from a Reverse Repurchase Agreement counterparty caused a default under the cross default provisions of the whole loan financing facilities and we
must obtain a waiver from our lenders to reactivate our warehouse facilities.

We are working to meet all of our outstanding
margin calls within a timeframe acceptable to our lenders, by either selling portfolio securities, issuing Collateralized Mortgage Debt and/or raising additional debt or equity capital. Since December 31, 2007 and through March 6, 2008, we
have reduced our portfolio of ARM assets financed with recourse financing by approximately $4.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion has been permanently financed, in order to reduce our exposure to margin calls. We have also raised $488.0 million in
equity capital since December 31, 2007 and are continuing to seek to raise additional capital in order to provide a more stable base of liquidity during what the Company expects to be difficult market conditions for at least several more
months.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that it is possible that continued pressure on our liquidity will continue into the
foreseeable future in light of the uncertainties in the broader mortgage market, in particular, the uncertainties relative to the availability of financing under Reverse Repurchase Agreement financing and warehouse lines of credit and the resulting
strain that the loss of these debt structures would have on our ability to meet our liquidity and funding needs. Our liquidity position combined with difficult market conditions which have also resulted in a significant deterioration of prices of
mortgage-backed collateral raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We may not have the ability to hold our Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans to maturity or recovery and, accordingly, have recognized an
impairment charge totaling $676.6 million in gross unrealized losses on those assets as of December 31, 2007. The impairment charge resulted in a decrease in management and incentive fees payable to our Manager of $5.9 million. The following
tables set forth the effects of these restatements on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Executive Overview section beginning on page 31 of our September 30, 2007 Form 10-Q. A discussion of current market conditions can be found in the Recent Developments section beginning on page 35 of this report. Our
primary focus in the fourth quarter of 2007 was and for the coming months remains, increasing our access to reliable, diversified and attractively priced financing for our portfolio of high quality ARM Assets. In recent months, the mortgage industry
has remained under continued pressure due to numerous factors, which include continued industry-wide disclosures regarding the continued deterioration of the value of mortgage assets held by banks and broker-dealers, the deterioration of mortgage
credit among mortgage lenders, the downgrades of mortgage securities by the rating agencies, and a reluctance on the part of banks and broker-dealers to finance mortgage securities in the Reverse Repurchase Agreement and other mortgage financing
markets.

As a result of these factors, during the fourth quarter of 2007 and continuing in 2008, we have experienced declines in the
market value of our securities to levels at or below levels experienced in August 2007, and incurred additional margin calls as a result of the decline in our securities prices, an increase in certain margin requirements and a further decline in the
value of our Hedging Instruments as a result of the continued decline in yields on Swap Agreements. We do not believe the declines in the market value of our securities are reflective of deterioration in the actual credit performance of our assets.
In addition, the cost of financing in the Reverse Repurchase Agreement market increased during the fourth quarter of 2007, especially in December 2007, compared to prior periods as a result of both the increased spread between the LIBOR and Federal
Funds rate and increased financing spreads over LIBOR required by our Reverse Repurchase Agreement lenders. We have seen a significant drop in LIBOR rates since the end of 2007 as the Federal Reserve made several of its most dramatic cuts ever in
short-term interest rates, and we have also seen a steady decline in our financing spreads to LIBOR since December. We believe that these trends are expected to cause our cost of funds to decline meaningfully relative to the yield on our assets in
the months and quarters ahead.

Our primary focus over the coming months remains maintaining sufficient liquidity and increasing our access
to diversified and attractively priced financing for our portfolio of High Quality ARM Assets. Financing mortgage assets will remain a challenge particularly for Investment Grade MBS rated AA to BBB, even for those backed by prime jumbo ARM loans.
Continuing our lending practices in this market environment also remains challenging. The current declines in home prices make assessing property values particularly challenging, and, given our reliance on the rating agencies for assigning credit
enhancement levels for our mortgage loans as we seek to securitize them for permanent financing, we continue to have some uncertainty and lack of clarity about the rating agency process and how those credit assessment processes may change over time.
But, despite a continued modest increase in loan delinquencies in the fourth quarter, the credit quality of our originated and acquired loan portfolios continues to perform extremely well and their performance is consistent with our historical
expectations and current credit reserve levels. As a result, we believe that our credit performance through this market environment validates our historical approach to credit lending for first mortgage loan borrowers.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

In the fourth quarter, the net loss before preferred stock dividends was $605.9 million, down from net income before preferred stock dividends of $80.3 million a year ago. Net interest income was
$87.2 million compared to $90.7 million, or 4% less than a year ago. Return on equity for the fourth quarter was (147.32)% compared to 14.08% for the year ago period. For the quarter, operating expenses as a percentage of average assets, which are
among the lowest in the industry, decreased to 0.11% at December 31, 2007, from 0.20% at December 31, 2006, which helped support operations. Book value at December 31, 2007 was $6.63 per common share, down from $10.14 per common share
at September 30, 2007, principally due to other-than-temporary impairment losses, $279.7 million of which had been classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2007, and a $115.2 million decrease in the
unrealized market value of our hedging instruments. We believe that this decline in book value validates the existence of wider spread opportunities in the mortgage market. However, as a result of the recent events described in the Recent
Developments section on page 35, there can be no assurance that we will not experience a further decline in book value.

The
portfolio yield during the fourth quarter increased to 5.75% from 5.40% in the prior quarter. Our average cost of funds decreased to 5.04% in the fourth quarter from 5.26% in the prior quarter. This resulted in an average net interest margin of
0.96% for the quarter, which was up dramatically from 0.31% in the prior quarter.

Premium amortization was $5.0 million for the fourth
quarter of 2007, which reflects a decline in actual CPR for the quarter to 9.7% from 14.0% for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In calculating our amortization for the fourth quarter of 2007, we have assumed
prepayments for our portfolio will be 13% CPR for three months before accelerating to a forecasted CPR of 23% thereafter. Our forecast is based on the recent decreases in mortgage interest rates and the age, coupon and product-based vectors of our
portfolio. We believe our prepayment assumptions are prudent and conservative yet representative of the competing factors of falling mortgage interest rates offset by declining real estate values and considerably tighter lending standards.
Regardless, actual prepayments over the past 6 months have averaged 11.8% CPR, slower than would normally be expected given the level of long term interest rates in the fourth quarter of 2007. We believe that continuation of the current mortgage
market dynamics will likely perpetuate prepayment behavior that is below current expectations and result in premium amortization for subsequent quarters in the $5 million to $10 million range. Nevertheless, if prepayments were to pick up, we own our
mortgage assets at a premium of 0.46% which suggests that any increase in prepayments will have a minimal impact on our portfolio spreads and margins.

In addition to decreased premium amortization, our net interest margin benefited from short-term financing costs decreasing by 33 basis points in the fourth quarter despite increased LIBOR rates beginning in November
and increased spreads over LIBOR to obtain financing over year end. Fourth quarter short-term financing costs were also elevated by the amortization of $4.2 million of commitment fees. We continue to maintain committed Reverse Repurchase Agreement
facilities totaling $2.25 billion at a spread to LIBOR of 50 basis points and with 7% to 8% haircuts and $5.2 million of remaining commitment fees, which will be written off ratably over the first and second quarter of 2008. These committed
facilities mature between March 2008 and June 2008, although we expect to renew some of these facilities when they mature.

Long-Term
Capital Growth

During the fourth quarter, we raised net proceeds of $91.0 million through the sale of additional common equity during
the quarter at an average net price of $9.80 per share. These sales took place through our DRSPP. The proceeds from this capital provided an additional source of liquidity during the quarter to strengthen our balance sheet, support our mortgage loan
funding operations and facilitate the limited acquisition of mortgage-backed securities.

Asset Acquisitions

##### Table of Contents

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we originated
$516.7 million of ARM Loans at an average price of 101.01% of par and average anticipated yields of approximately 6.49%. Even though 2007 was a challenging year for mortgage lenders, our correspondent relationships grew by 12% and we now have 306
correspondent partners approved to originate loans that meet our pricing and underwriting specifications. And because we are known for our specialized focus on prime, super-jumbo ARM Loans, our average correspondent loan size grew to $984,000 in
2007 from $818,000 in 2006. Based on the latest mortgage origination statistics, we are the nations 19thlargest correspondent lender.

Our wholesale channel has also gained a great deal of momentum due to our unique lending platform. We now have 18 account executives in
targeted geographic regions supporting 684 brokerage firms. We continue to believe this channel will be our fastest growing loan origination channel and will provide an attractive source of higher yielding loans for our portfolio. In 2008, we
anticipate that 33% of our loan origination activity will be generated by this channel. Our average wholesale loan size was $1.2 million in 2007.

During the quarter, we also acquired $995.4 million of new Purchased ARM Assets at an average price of 99.61% of par and average approximate yields of 6.30%. At quarter end, the unamortized cost basis at which we held our ARM Assets was
99.76%, down from 100.48% in the prior quarter. This premium positions our asset portfolio favorably in the event the Federal Reserve continues to reduce rates, which could result in still lower mortgage rates and cause an increase in refinance
activity despite the slowdown in real estate activity. Through January 31, 2008, we acquired an additional $819.2 million of new ARM Assets with anticipated yields of approximately 5.63% which, in addition to those assets acquired in the fourth
quarter, we expect will contribute favorably to our net interest margin in 2008.

Credit Quality

We remain committed to preserving strong asset quality. At December 31, 2007, 97.5% of our ARM Asset portfolio was High Quality, of which 29.5%
represented Purchased ARM Assets and the remaining 68.0% was comprised of High Quality ARM Loans.

Purchased Securitized Loans comprised
1.8% of ARM assets. We have retained the credit risk associated with the ownership of these Purchased Securitized Loans which have a total outstanding principal balance of $5.9 billion. Accordingly, we have an allowance for loan losses in the form
of a non-accretable discount of $21.7 million, or 0.37% of the balance of these securities.

A number of factors indicate that the credit
quality of our entire portfolio of ARM Assets continues to be exceptional. Only one of our Purchased ARM Assets with a carrying value of $907,000 was downgraded in the fourth quarter and our Purchased ARM Assets portfolio continues to be unaffected
by recent rating agency activities. Further, none of the mortgage assets in our Purchased ARM Assets portfolio are credit enhanced or credit guaranteed by any of the private sector mono-line credit insurers. Our ARM Loan portfolio has experienced
very few early payment defaults and only 144 of our 37,125 ARM Loans are more than 60 days delinquent or REO at December 31, 2007. Further, we have no repurchase obligations on any ARM Loans that we have originated.

At December 31, 2007, 60-day plus delinquent loans and real-estate owned properties (REO) in our originated and bulk purchased loans totaled 0.44%
of our $24.5 billion portfolio of securitized and unsecuritized ARM Loans, up from 0.27% at September 30, 2007, but still significantly below the industrys conventional prime ARM loan delinquency ratio of 4.23% at September 30, 2007
as reported by the Mortgage Bankers Association. Of these 144 delinquent loans and REO properties, 96 were in the foreclosure process or on the market for sale suggesting that near term further increases in delinquencies may be minimal. One category
of bulk purchased loans, specifically $630.6 million of Pay Option ARMs purchased from one seller, continues to exhibit higher delinquencies than the rest of our loan portfolio and is effectively doubling our total portfolio delinquency rate.
However, we expected that these loans would experience higher delinquencies and losses when we made the acquisition and are managing these delinquencies effectively so as to minimize losses. Further, this portfolio continues to decline as a
percentage of our entire portfolio. At December 31, 2007, our allowance for loan losses totaled $10.8 million, and the allowance for losses on REO properties totaled $4.2 million, which management believes are appropriate allowance levels given
the exemplary characteristics of our ARM Loan and REO portfolios. We realized loan losses of $735,000 during the fourth quarter and recorded $601,000 in write-downs related to REO that we expect to sell in the future.

Securitization Activity

In October 2007, we successfully completed an $832.9 million Collateralized Mortgage Debt transaction with ARM Loans that had expected yields averaging 6.80%. The financing cost of the AAA-rated
classes, which were sold to third-party investors and are now permanently financed as a result, was approximately 5.98%, which generated a yield spread of 82 basis points.

This Collateralized Mortgage Debt transaction was completed without any significant increase in credit enhancement levels from the historic levels experienced prior to the third quarter of 2007.

Recent Developments

Beginning on February 14, 2008, there was once again a sudden adverse change in mortgage market conditions in general and more specifically in the valuations of mortgage securities backed by Alt-A mortgage loan collateral. As of February
15, 2008, our Purchased ARM Assets included approximately $2.9 billion of super senior, credit-enhanced mortgage securities, all of which are AAA-rated and backed by Alt-A mortgage collateral. Our current credit assessment of these mortgage
securities in our portfolio suggests a low possibility of future downgrades and even less risk of actual losses. We have not realized any losses on these mortgage securities to date. However, through the current date we have observed continued
deterioration in the liquidity for these securities as well as other securities in our portfolio and increased difficulty in obtaining market prices. The estimated fair value of Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans held at December 31,
2007 still remaining in our portfolio at March 6, 2008 has declined by approximately $1.0 billion. As a result, we have been subject to margin calls on this collateral. Since December 31, 2007 and through March 6, 2008, we have received $1.8 billion
in margin calls and have met margin calls of $1.2 billion. The sudden decline in the valuation of these securities has left us with reduced readily available liquidity to meet future margin calls, relative to our cash and unpledged securities
position of December 31, 2007. At March 6, 2008, we had outstanding margin calls of $610.0 million, which significantly exceeded our available liquidity at that date. Also through March 6, 2008, we had received notices of event of default under
Reverse Repurchase Agreements from four different lenders. The aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. Our Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured lending arrangements contain cross-default
provisions and the related lenders could declare an event of default at any time. We have entered into a temporary agreement with our remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls through Monday,
March 10, 2008, and we are trying to negotiate an extension of that agreement while we pursue strategies to more permanently increase available liquidity. The lenders have no obligation to extend this agreement. There is also no assurance that
the value of our mortgage portfolio and derivatives portfolio will not decline further, that we will not experience a further decline in our book value, that lenders will not make additional margin calls or that we will be able to satisfy additional
margin calls, if any. We are working to meet all of our outstanding margin calls within a timeframe acceptable to our lenders, through a combination of selling portfolio assets, issuing Collateralized Mortgage Debt and raising additional debt or
equity capital. Since December 31, 2007 and through the close of business on March 6, 2008, we have reduced our portfolio of ARM Assets financed with recourse financing by approximately $4.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion has been permanently
financed and $2.7 billion have been sold in order to reduce our exposure to margin calls. We have also raised $488.0 million in equity capital since December 31, 2007, and seek to raise additional capital in order to provide a more stable base
of liquidity during a period when we expect market conditions to remain difficult for at least several more months.

However, as discussed
above, mortgage security market valuations remain volatile, mortgage securities trading remains limited and mortgage securities financing markets remain challenging as the industry continues to report negative news. As a result, we expect to
continue to operate with a historically low level of leverage and to continue to take actions that would support higher levels of liquidity and available cash.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in
conformity with GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions. In accordance with SEC guidance, those material accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investors understanding of our financial
results and condition and require complex management judgment are discussed below.

| |  | Revenue Recognition. Interest income on ARM Assets is a combination of the interest earned based on the outstanding balance and contractual terms of the assets
and the amortization of yield adjustments, principally the amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of ARM Assets are amortized or accreted into interest income over the estimated lives of
the assets in accordance with SFAS 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, using the interest method adjusted for the effects of actual and future
estimated prepayments and the current index on ARM assets. The use of these methods requires us to project cash flows over the remaining life of each asset based on these factors. These projections include assumptions about interest rates,
prepayment rates, timing and amount of credit losses, estimates regarding the likelihood and timing of calls of securities at par, and other factors. Estimating prepayments and estimating the remaining lives of our ARM Assets requires management
judgment, which involves consideration of possible future interest rate environments and an estimate of how borrowers will behave in those environments. We review our cash flow projections on an ongoing basis and monitor these projections based on
input and analyses received from external sources, internal models, and our own judgment and experience. We regularly review our assumptions and make adjustments to the cash flows as deemed necessary. There is no assurance that the assumptions we
use to estimate future cash flows, or the current periods yield for each asset, will prove to be accurate.

The following table presents a sensitivity analysis to show the one time adjustment we would have to make to our net purchase premium of $204.1 million at December 31, 2007 for 1% and 2% CPR increases and decreases to our lifetime
prepayment assumptions. The purpose of this analysis is to provide an indication of the impact that changes to the lifetime prepayment assumptions have on our purchase premium. We believe the current lifetime assumptions used, which average 23.1%
CPR, are appropriate and consistent with our long-term portfolio experience and expectations.

Future premium amortization and accretion will also be influenced by new asset
acquisitions, changes in the forward interest rate curve and changes in the indices that drive future yields on Hybrid ARM and Traditional ARM assets.



| |  | Fair Value. We record our Purchased ARM Assets, commitments to purchase ARM Loans and Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments at fair value. The fair values of most of
our Purchased ARM Assets and all of our Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments are based on market prices provided by third-party pricing services or certain dealers which make markets in these financial instruments. If the fair value of a Purchased ARM
Asset is not reasonably available from a third-party pricing service or dealer, management estimates the fair value. For Purchased Arm Assets valued by management, we first look to identify a security in our portfolio for which a third-party market
price is available that has similar characteristics including interest coupon, product type, credit rating, seasoning and duration. The third-party market price of the similar security is then used to value the security for which there was no
third-party quote, by applying the percentage change in price of the similar security for the relevant period to the price of the security for which there was no third-party quote. Our objective is to use the third-party quote as the primary
valuation indicator; however, if we are unable to identify a similar security in our portfolio, we look to recent market transactions of similar securities or make inquiries of broker-dealers that trade similar securities and use the data obtained
to calculate a market price based on a yield or spread target. The net unrealized gain or loss on loans expected to be purchased from correspondent lenders and bulk sellers is calculated using the same methodologies that are used to price our ARM
Loans, adjusted for anticipated fallout of purchase loan commitments that will likely not be funded. The fair values reported reflect estimates and may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange. At
December 31, 2007, managements judgment was used to estimate the fair value of $4.8 billion or 13% of our ARM Assets and 100% of our commitments to purchase ARM Loans. See Note 3 to the financial statements for a summary table of the
methodologies used to value ARM Assets.

| |  | Impairment of Purchased ARM Assets and Non-Accretable Discounts on Purchased ARM Assets. Purchased ARM Assets are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis,
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that these investments may be impaired. We evaluate whether our Purchased ARM Assets are considered impaired, evaluate whether the impairment is other than temporary, and, if the
impairment is other than temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the Purchased ARM Assets amortized cost basis and its

| | fair value. These evaluations require management to make estimates and judgments based on changes in market interest rates, changes in credit ratings,
delinquency data on the loans underlying the respective securities and other information to determine whether unrealized losses are reflective of credit deterioration and to evaluate managements ability and intent to hold the investment to
maturity or recovery. Because the estimate for other-than-temporary impairment requires management judgment, we consider this to be a critical accounting estimate. We do not believe the declines in the market value of our securities are reflective
of deterioration in the actual credit performance of our assets, However, we determined that we may not have the ability to hold our Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans until recovery; therefore the differences between the amortized cost
basis and the market value of these assets were determined to be other-than-temporary impairments and recognized in operations.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A portion of our Purchased Securitized Loans are rated less than Investment Grade and represent subordinated interests in High-Quality, first lien residential mortgage loans. We generally purchase the less than
Investment Grade classes at a discount. Based upon managements analysis and judgment, a portion of the purchase discount is subsequently accreted as interest income under the effective yield method while the remaining portion of the purchase
discount is treated as a non-accretable discount which reflects the estimated unrealized loss on the securities due to credit losses on the underlying loans. We review Purchased Securitized Loans quarterly for impairment and record or adjust
non-accretable discounts accordingly. Non-accretable discounts are increased by recognizing an impairment loss when management determines that there is a decline in the fair value of a Purchased Securitized Loan that is considered other than
temporary and decreased when there is improvement in the risk exposures. Any such determinations are based on managements assessment of numerous factors affecting the fair value of Purchased Securitized Loans, including, but not limited to,
current economic conditions, potential for natural disasters, delinquency trends, credit losses to date on underlying mortgages and remaining credit protection. If management ultimately concludes that the non-accretable discounts will not represent
realized losses, the balances are accreted into earnings over the remaining life of the loan under the interest method.



| |  | Allowance for Loan Losses on ARM Loans excluding Securitized ARM Loans. We maintain an allowance for loan losses based on managements estimate of credit
losses inherent in our portfolio of ARM Loans held for investment. The estimate of the reserve is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, industry statistics, current economic conditions, potential for natural disasters, loan
portfolio composition, delinquency trends, credit losses to date on underlying loans and remaining credit protection. If the credit performance of our ARM Loans held for investment is different than expected, we adjust the allowance for loan losses
to a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for estimated losses inherent in our ARM Loan portfolio. Two critical assumptions used in estimating the allowance for loan losses are an assumed rate of default, which is the expected rate at
which loans go into foreclosure over the life of the loans, and an assumed rate of loss severity, which represents the expected rate of realized loss upon disposition of the properties that have gone into foreclosure. Our default assumption range is
45% to 55% and our loss severity assumption range is 20% to 30%.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following table presents a
sensitivity analysis to show the impact on our allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2007 of using 5% increases and decreases in the borrowers propensity to default and the loss severity if there is a default. The purpose of this
analysis is to provide an indication of the impact that defaults and loss severity assumptions have on our estimate of allowance for loan losses. It is not intended to imply our expectation of future default levels or changes in loss severity. We
believe the current assumptions used for defaults and loss severity are appropriate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value
measurement disclosure. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-1, Application of FASB SFAS 157 to FASB SFAS 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements that Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under SFAS 13 and FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB SFAS 157. FASB Staff Position 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to remove certain

leasing transactions from its scope. FASB Staff Position 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The measurement and disclosure
requirements related to financial assets and financial liabilities are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities will not have a significant impact on
our consolidated financial statements. However, the resulting fair values calculated under SFAS 157 after adoption may be different from the fair values that would have been calculated under previous guidance. SFAS 157 will be applied to
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities beginning January 1, 2009, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. Once a company chooses to report an item at fair value, changes in fair value would be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS 159 became effective for us on January 1, 2008, and did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FASB Interpretation Number 39-1,
Amendment of FASB Staff Position FASB Interpretation Number 39. FASB Interpretation Number 39-1 amends certain paragraphs of FASB Interpretation Number 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, -an interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin Opinion Number 10 and SFAS 105 to permit a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts
recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Upon application, we will be permitted to change our accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for
derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. FASB Interpretation Number 39-1 became effective for us on January 1, 2008, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 109. Staff Accounting Bulletin 109 supersedes Staff Accounting Bulletin 105, Application
of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments. It clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at
fair value through earnings. However, it retains the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 105 that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment. The guidance is effective on
a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. We have not yet determined the estimated financial impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements upon
adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements-an Amendment of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is
presented. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of
the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 will become effective for us on January 1, 2009, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) retains the
fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141(R) requires
an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141(R) requires costs incurred to effect the
acquisition and restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the acquisition. SFAS 141(R) applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

Financial Condition

Asset Quality

At December 31, 2007, we held total assets of $36.3
billion, $35.2 billion of which consisted of ARM Assets. That compares to $52.7 billion in total assets and $51.5 billion of ARM Assets at December 31, 2006. Since commencing operations, we have purchased either Agency Securities,
privately-issued MBS or ARM Loans generally originated to A quality underwriting standards. At December 31, 2007, 94.1% of the assets we held, including cash and cash equivalents, were High Quality assets, far exceeding our
investment policy minimum requirement of investing at least 70% of our total assets in High Quality ARM Assets and cash and cash equivalents.

The following table presents a schedule of ARM Assets owned at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 classified by High Quality and Other Investment assets and further classified by type of issuer and by ratings categories. All
Purchased ARM Assets included in the tables have been rated by the Rating Agencies. ARM Loans include Securitized ARM Loans that have been rated by the Rating Agencies, ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt that have been stratified by credit rating based
on the ratings received from the Rating Agencies on the respective Collateralized Mortgage Debt and ARM loans held for securitization that have not been rated by the Rating Agencies.

The ARM portfolio had a weighted average coupon of 5.82% at December 31, 2007. This consisted
of a weighted average coupon of 5.58% on the Hybrid ARM Assets and a weighted average coupon of 5.92% on the Traditional ARM Assets. If the portfolio had been Fully Indexed, the weighted average coupon of the portfolio would have been 6.01%, based
upon the composition of the portfolio and the applicable indices at December 31, 2007. Additionally, if the Traditional ARM portion of the portfolio had been Fully Indexed, the weighted average coupon of that portion of the portfolio would have
been 6.20%, also based upon the composition of the portfolio and the applicable indices at that time.

As of December 31, 2006, the
ARM portfolio had a weighted average coupon of 5.48%. This consisted of a weighted average coupon of 5.34% on the Hybrid ARM Assets and a weighted average coupon of 7.13% on the Traditional ARM assets. If the portfolio had been Fully Indexed, the
weighted average coupon of the portfolio would have been 5.47%, based upon the composition of the portfolio and the applicable indices at December 31, 2006. Additionally, if the Traditional ARM portion of the portfolio had been Fully Indexed,
the weighted average coupon of that portion of the portfolio would have been 7.06%, also based upon the composition of the portfolio and the applicable indices at that time.

At December 31, 2007, the current yield of the ARM Assets portfolio was 5.77% up from 5.29% as of December 31, 2006. The 48 BP increase in the yield from December 31, 2006 to
December 31, 2007, is primarily due to a 34 BP increase in the weighted average coupon as a result of new asset purchases at higher weighted average coupons and the sale of assets with lower weighted average coupons and a 14 BP increase due to
decreased premium amortization due to slower actual prepayments and expected future prepayments.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Hybrid ARM portfolio comprised 82.9% of the total ARM portfolio, or $29.2 billion at December 31, 2007, compared to 87.0%, or $44.8 billion as of
December 31, 2006. We attempt to manage our interest rate risk by funding our ARM portfolio with borrowings and Hedging Instruments whose combined Effective Duration is less than one year. Some of our borrowings bear variable or short-term (one
year or less) fixed interest rates because our Traditional ARM Assets have interest rates that adjust within one year. However, our Hybrid ARM Assets are financed with short-term borrowings that are hedged with Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments that
fix the interest rate on those borrowings such that the combined Net Effective Duration is less than one year. By maintaining a Net Effective Duration of less than one year, which is our maximum Effective Duration policy limit, the combined price
change of our Hybrid ARM Assets, associated Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments and other borrowings is expected to be a maximum of 1% for a 1% parallel shift in interest rates. An Effective Duration closer to zero indicates a lower expected volatility
of earnings given future changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2007, the Net Effective Duration applicable to our Hybrid ARM Assets was approximately 0.69 years while the Net Effective Duration applicable to the ARM portfolio was
approximately 0.62 years.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we were counterparty to Swap Agreements having an aggregate notional
balance of $8.0 billion and $34.8 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, our Swap Agreements had a weighted average maturity of 2.3 years. In accordance with the Swap Agreements, we will pay a fixed rate of interest during the term of
these Swap Agreements and receive a payment that varies monthly with the one-month LIBOR rate. The combined weighted average fixed rate payable of the Swap Agreements was 4.76% and 4.51% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition,
as of December 31, 2007, we had entered into delayed Swap Agreements with notional balances totaling $499.6 million that will become effective March 2009. We entered into these delayed Swap Agreements to hedge the financing of existing ARM
Assets and the forecasted financing of our ARM Assets purchase commitments at December 31, 2007, and to replace Swap Agreements as they mature. The combined weighted average fixed rate payable of the delayed Swap Agreements was 4.70% at
December 31, 2007. The net unrealized loss on all of these Swap Agreements at December 31, 2007 of $108.2 million included Swap Agreements with gross unrealized losses of $111.9 million and gross unrealized gains of $3.7 million and is
included in Hedging Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2007, the net unrealized loss on these Swap Agreements recorded in OCI was $78.8 million. As of December 31, 2006, the net unrealized gain on Swap
Agreements of $197.5 million included Swap Agreements with gross unrealized gains of $284.9 million and gross unrealized losses of $87.4 million. In the twelve month period following December 31, 2007, $85.9 million of net unrealized losses are
expected to be realized as a component of net interest income.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, our Cap Agreements, used to manage
our interest rate risk exposure on the financing of the Hybrid ARM Assets, had remaining net notional amounts of $630.9 million and $934.2 million, respectively. We have also entered into Cap Agreements that have start dates ranging from 2008 to
2010. The notional balance at the start date will be the lesser of the scheduled amount of $197.6 million or the balance of Hybrid ARM loans associated with these Cap Agreements. The fair value of all of our Cap Agreements at December 31, 2007
and 2006 was $1.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively, and is included in Hedging Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net unrealized losses on Cap Agreements of $6.9 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, are included in OCI. In the twelve month period following December 31, 2007, a $3.7 million loss is expected to be realized as a component of net interest income. Pursuant to the terms of these Cap Agreements, the notional amount
of the Cap Agreements declines such that it is expected to equal the balance of the Hybrid ARM loans collateralizing our Collateralized Mortgage Debt hedged with these Cap Agreements. Under these Cap Agreements, we will receive cash payments should
the one-month LIBOR increase above the contract rates of these Hedging Instruments, which range from 3.61% to 9.67% and average 6.04%. The Cap Agreements had an average maturity of 3.2 years as of December 31, 2007 and will expire between 2008
and 2013.

We had no Pipeline Hedging Instruments at December 31, 2007. The fair value of the Pipeline
Hedging Instruments at December 31, 2006 was a net unrealized loss of $849,000 and is included in Hedging Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pipeline Hedging Instruments had a remaining notional balance of $349.0 million at
December 31, 2006. We recorded a net loss of $16.9 million on Derivatives during the year ended December 31, 2007. The net loss consisted of net losses of $15.8 million on Swap Agreements, which were originally intended to qualify as cash
flow hedges but did not due to the reduction in borrowings in August 2007, and $9.7 million on commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders and bulk sellers. The net losses were partially offset by net gains of $4.7 million on Swap
Agreement terminations, $3.3 million on Pipeline Hedging Instruments and $600,000 on other Derivative transactions. We recorded a net gain of $25.7 million on Derivatives during the same period in 2006. This gain consisted of a net gain of $46.5
million on commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders and bulk sellers and a net gain of $1.5 million on other Derivative transactions partially offset by a net loss of $22.3 million on Pipeline Hedging Instruments. The net gain or
loss on Derivatives is driven by several factors including: the size of the loan pipeline, the expected and actual fallout rates, changes in interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve, changes in mortgage spreads, and our pipeline
hedging long or short bias. These factors work together or in opposition to increase or decrease the net gain or loss on Derivatives in a particular reporting period.

Asset Acquisitions and Originations

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we purchased $10.3 billion of Purchased ARM Assets, 99.9% of which were High Quality assets, and we
purchased or originated $5.4 billion of ARM Loans, generally originated to A quality underwriting standards. Of the ARM Assets acquired and originated during 2007, 93.3% were Hybrid ARM Assets and 6.7% were Traditional ARM Assets
generally indexed to LIBOR. The following table compares our ARM Asset acquisition and origination activity for 2007, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2007, we had commitments to purchase $343.0 million of ARM Loans. At
December 31, 2007, we used a 29.2% fallout assumption in the determination of our ARM loan commitments based on our historical experience with the conversion of loan commitments to funded loans.

Securitization Activity

During 2007, we securitized $6.5 billion of our ARM Loans into five Collateralized Mortgage Debt securitizations. While TMHL transferred all of the ARM Loans to separate bankruptcy-remote legal entities, on a consolidated basis we did not
account for these securitizations as sales and, therefore, did not record any gain or loss in connection with the securitizations. We retained $455.2 million of the resulting securities for our ARM Loan portfolio and financed $6.1 billion with
third-party investors, thereby providing long-term collateralized financing for these assets which is not subject to margin calls. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we held $21.7 billion and $19.1 billion, respectively, of ARM Loans
Collateralizing Debt. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we held $2.2 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, of Securitized ARM Loans as a result of our securitization efforts. All discussions relating to securitizations in this Form 10-K/A are
on a consolidated basis and do not reflect the separate legal ownership of the loans by various bankruptcy-remote legal entities.

Prepayment Experience

For the year ended 2007, our mortgage assets paid down at an approximate average CPR of 14%, compared
to 15% during the year ended 2006. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, our mortgage assets paid down at an approximate average annualized CPR of 10%, compared to 14% for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and September 30,
2007. When prepayment expectations over the remaining life of the assets increase and all other interest rate variables are held constant, we have to amortize our premiums over a shorter time period, resulting in a reduced yield to maturity on our
ARM Assets. Conversely, if prepayment expectations decrease, we would amortize the premium over a longer time period, resulting in a higher yield to maturity. We monitor our prepayment experience and future expectations on a periodic basis and
adjust the prepayment assumptions used to amortize the net premium, as appropriate.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As described in the Explanatory Note on page 4 and Item 7 of Part II, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations  Restatement of Financial Statements, we have substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2007. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, our available liquidity to meet margin calls resulting from changes in the fair market value of our Purchased ARM Assets collateralizing Reverse Repurchase Agreements and the continued
availability of financing for our ARM Assets. We had readily available liquidity of approximately $580.0 million at December 31, 2007. Through March 6, 2008, we had received $1.8 billion in margin calls since December 31, 2007 and had
satisfied $1.2 billion of those margin calls primarily by using our available liquidity, principal and interest payments and proceeds from the sale of assets. At March 6, 2008, we had outstanding margin calls of $610.0 million which
significantly exceeded our available liquidity at that date. Also through March 6, 2008, we had received notices of event of default under Reverse Repurchase Agreements from four different lenders. The aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding
with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. Our Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured lending arrangements contain cross-default provisions and the related lenders could declare an event of default at any time. We have entered
into a temporary agreement with our remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls through Monday, March 10, 2008 while we pursue strategies to increase available liquidity. The lenders have no
obligation to extend this agreement.

We are working to meet all of our outstanding margin calls within a timeframe acceptable to our
lenders, by either selling portfolio securities, issuing Collateralized Mortgage Debt or raising additional debt or equity capital. Since December 31, 2007 and through March 6, 2008, we have reduced our portfolio of ARM assets financed
with recourse financing by approximately $4.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion has been permanently financed, in order to reduce our exposure to margin calls. The estimated fair value of Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans held at
December 31, 2007 still remaining in our portfolio at March 6, 2008 has declined by approximately $1.0 billion. We have also raised $488.0 million in equity capital since December 31, 2007 and are continuing to seek to raise
additional capital in order to provide a more stable base of liquidity during what we expect to be difficult market conditions for at least several months.

We manage liquidity to ensure that we have the continuing ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund operations and meet commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis. At December 31, 2007, we
had Unencumbered Assets of $692.4 million, consisting of unpledged ARM Assets, cash and cash equivalents, and other assets. At December 31, 2007, we had readily available liquidity of approximately $580.0 million which represented protection
against additional margin calls for up to a 4.5% decrease in the market price of the ARM Assets collateralizing our short-term borrowings. As of December 31, 2007, our portfolio consisted of 96.4% AAA-rated assets and 3.6% below AAA-rated
assets. While those portfolio assets continue to perform extremely well from a credit performance perspective, we have yet to see financing terms materially improve for these asset classes since the disruption in the mortgage financing markets began
in August 2007. In the fourth quarter, margin requirements remained high, financing spreads to LIBOR remained high and the number of finance counterparties for these asset classes remains limited. At December 31, 2007, we had successfully
obtained waivers of financial covenants from our warehouse lenders and were able to continue to fund our mortgage loans through February 28, 2008. However, on February 28, 2008, we received a notice of event of default from a Reverse
Repurchase Agreement counterparty which caused a default under the cross default provisions of our warehouse financing facilities and we must obtain a waiver from our lenders to reactivate our lending capacity on the warehouse facilities. Also, the
commercial paper market for financing AAA-rated securities remains closed to us.

However, as discussed above, mortgage security market valuations remain volatile, mortgage securities
trading remains limited and mortgage securities financing markets remain challenging as the industry continues to report negative news. As a result, we expect to continue to operate with a historically low level of leverage and to continue to take
actions that would support higher levels of liquidity and available cash.

Sources of Funds

Our primary sources of funds for the year ended December 31, 2007 consisted of Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Asset-backed CP, Collateralized
Mortgage Debt, whole loan financing facilities, Subordinated Notes, proceeds of new equity offerings, principal and interest payments from ARM Assets, as well as proceeds from the sale of ARM Assets net of the payoff of financings of those assets.
Using Collateralized Mortgage Debt as financing effectively eliminates rollover and margin call risk for the related portion of our balance sheet. From January 2007 through July 2007, we utilized Asset-backed CP as a funding source. In August 2007,
commercial paper investors stopped investing in mortgage-backed commercial paper with extendable maturity features. As an issuer of commercial paper with an extendable maturity feature, we were unable to continue rolling over our maturing commercial
paper as a result of the general disruption in the commercial paper market.

At December 31, 2007, we had arrangements to enter into
Reverse Repurchase Agreements with 13 different financial institutions and had borrowed funds from all of these firms as of December 31, 2007. In addition, we had obtained committed Reverse Repurchase Agreement financing capacity of $2.25
billion that expires between March and June of 2008, of which $534.5 million was unused at December 31, 2007. We have no unused capacity at March 6, 2008. At December 31, 2007, we had $11.5 billion of Reverse Repurchase Agreements
outstanding with a weighted average effective borrowing rate (before the impact of hedging) of 5.22% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of 8.6 months.

We also have an Asset-backed CP facility, which until the dislocation in the credit markets beginning in August 2007 provided an alternative way to finance a portion of our ARM portfolio. We issued Asset-backed CP to
investors in the form of secured liquidity notes that were recorded as borrowings on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2007, we had $400.0 million of Asset-backed CP outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.21%
and a weighted average remaining maturity of 48 days. As of February 29, 2008, we had paid all of our commercial paper at maturity; however, on March 3, 2008, we extended the maturity date of the remaining outstanding Asset-Backed CP of
$300.0 million to April 14, 2008.

Because we borrow money under Reverse Repurchase Agreements based on the fair value of our ARM
Assets, and because changes in interest rates or changes in mortgage securities spreads can negatively impact the valuation of ARM Assets, our borrowing ability under these agreements may be limited and lenders may initiate margin calls in the event
interest rates change or the value of our ARM Assets declines for other reasons. In periods of financial stress, we may be exposed to valuations determined by counterparties that we may not agree with or may not reflect current market sale prices.
External disruptions to credit markets might also impair access to additional liquidity and, therefore, we might be required to sell certain mortgage assets in order to maintain financing. If required, such sales might be at prices lower than the
carrying value of the assets, which would result in losses. Due to disruptions in the secondary market for financing mortgage assets and rated MBS during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we sold $21.9 billion of ARM Assets and recognized a
loss of $1.1 billion in order to meet increased margin calls and reduce our reliance on short-term financing arrangements.

All of our
Collateralized Mortgage Debt is secured by ARM Loans. For financial reporting purposes, the ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt are recorded as our assets and the Collateralized Mortgage Debt is recorded as our debt. In some transactions, Hedging
Instruments are held by the trusts and are recorded as our assets or liabilities. The Hedging Instruments either fix the interest rates of the pass-through certificates or cap the interest rate exposure on these transactions. The effective interest
rate of the Collateralized Mortgage Debt including the impact of issuance costs and Hedging Instruments was 5.18% at December 31, 2007.

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2007, our Collateralized Mortgage Debt was collateralized by ARM Loans with a
principal balance of $21.6 billion. The debt matures between 2033 and 2047 and is callable at our option at par once the total balance of the loans collateralizing the debt is reduced to 20% of their original balance. The balance of this debt is
reduced as the underlying loan collateral is paid down and is expected to have an average life of approximately 3.5 years.

As of
December 31, 2007, we had two committed whole loan financing facilities with a total borrowing capacity of $600.0 million that expire between April 2008 and December 31, 2008. In addition to our committed borrowing capacity, we had an
uncommitted borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion at December 31, 2007. We are currently evaluating additional proposals for increasing our committed borrowing capacity and believe that our current committed borrowing capacity is adequate given
our commitments to purchase or originate ARM loans as of December 31, 2007. The interest rates on these facilities are indexed to one-month LIBOR and reprice accordingly. As of December 31, 2007, we had $453.5 million borrowed against
these whole loan financing facilities at an effective cost of 5.42%. Each of the whole loan financing facilities has a financial covenant requiring profitability in the previous four quarters. As of December 31, 2007, we had requested and
received waivers of this covenant from each lender for the loss in the third quarter of 2007. We did not receive a waiver from our lenders for the loss in the fourth quarter of 2007 that was the result of the other-than-temporary impairment loss
that was reflected as part of the Restatement. In addition, on February 28, 2008, we received a notice of event of default from a Reverse Repurchase Agreement counterparty that caused a default under the cross default provisions of our
warehouse financing facilities and we must obtain a waiver from our lenders to reactivate our lending capacity on the warehouse facilities.

Capital Utilization and Leverage

The Board of Directors has approved a policy that limits our
capacity to borrow funds to finance ARM Assets based on our long-term capital. We monitor the relationship between our ARM Assets, borrowings and long-term capital using a variety of different measures. However, the primary operating policy that
limits our borrowings and leverage is a requirement to maintain our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio, a non-GAAP measurement, at a minimum of 8%. At December 31, 2007, we were operating at an Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio of 13.22%. Broadly
speaking, this ratio reflects the relationship between those ARM Assets financed with borrowings that are subject to margin calls and our long-term capital position. See the table below for the calculation of this ratio.

Recourse or marginable debt generally consists of Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Asset-backed CP and whole loan financing facilities. These borrowings
are based on the current market value of our ARM Assets, are short-term in nature, mature on a frequent basis (weighted average maturity of 8 months as of December 31, 2007), need to be rolled over at each maturity date and are subject to
margin calls based on collateral value changes or changes in margin requirements. Our initial margin requirements averaged approximately 10% at December 31, 2007 for these borrowings due to the changes in the mortgage asset financing markets
described in the Executive Overview section beginning on page 32, which partially explains why our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio has increased from a year ago. Our policy requires that we maintain an Adjusted Equity-to-Assets
Ratio of at least 8% against the financing of these ARM Assets.

We use the Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio as a way to measure our capital
cushion relative to those recourse borrowings subject to margin call. If market values of ARM Assets decline significantly after December 31, 2007, resulting in margin requirements greater than our approximately $580.0 million readily available
liquidity as of December 31, 2007, we could be forced to liquidate ARM Assets, potentially at a loss. As a result of the increase in margin requirements that became effective following August 2007, a decline in the market values of our
portfolio as a result of widening spreads on mortgage assets, the decline in the value of our Hedging Instruments as a result of falling swap rates, and a general lack of reasonable financing for below AAA-rated ARM Assets, our Adjusted
Equity-to-Assets Ratio had increased to 13.22% as of December 31, 2007 from 8.16% as of December 31, 2006.

##### Table of Contents

The potential limitation that may result from the use of the non-GAAP measurement is that, in an economic
environment where the market value of the investment portfolio is increasing, the amount of capital that we can invest will be less than the amount then available for investment under a comparable GAAP measurement. Although we acknowledge this
limitation, we believe that it is not prudent to factor these market gains into the calculation of leveragable capital because the gains may be short-term in nature. The potential volatility in market prices could result in subsequent reversal of
the gains that would require subsequent disposition of ARM Assets in unfavorable market conditions.

As we increase our use of
Collateralized Mortgage Debt, the risk of margin calls, changes in margin requirements and potential refinancing risk is reduced because Collateralized Mortgage Debt represents long-term non-recourse financing whose terms are established at the time
of the financing and are not subject to change. As a result, the need to maintain a capital cushion comparable to what we maintain on our recourse borrowings is eliminated. For purposes of maintaining an adequate capital cushion, our policy allows
us to eliminate all assets (and the associated long-term equity capital) associated with Collateralized Mortgage Debt from our operating capital ratio. Our Collateralized Mortgage Debt only requires approximately 2% to 3% of equity capital to
support these financings, versus our 8% minimum capital requirement on our recourse borrowings. As we enter into additional Collateralized Mortgage Debt financing transactions, they have the effect of increasing our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio.
Therefore, we could retain and carry an increased amount of assets in the future as a percentage of our equity capital base. Additionally, we eliminate from our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio any unrealized market value adjustments, recorded as
OCI, from our equity accounts and we include our Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes as forms of long-term capital as if the notes were equity capital.

The following table presents the calculation of our Adjusted Equity-to-Assets Ratio, a non-GAAP measurement:

##### Table of Contents

The above table also presents four alternative capital utilization measurements to our Adjusted
Equity-to-Assets ratio. The first alternative capital utilization measurement is the GAAP equity-to-assets ratio, a calculation that simply divides total GAAP equity by total assets. While the simplest of all equity-to-assets calculations, it is not
used by management to manage our balance sheet because it excludes Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes from our equity calculation and includes factors such as unrealized gains and losses on assets and Hedging Instruments deemed to be less important
to the long-term operating nature of our business since we do not intend to sell our assets and since the unrealized gains and losses are not permanent impairments of our equity or of these assets and Hedging Instruments. If we did use the GAAP
measurement as a basis for our leverage limitation and if our Board of Directors-approved policy limited our GAAP equity-to-assets to a minimum of 8%, our total assets would have been reduced to $22.0 billion instead of the $36.3 billion of
assets owned as of December 31, 2007. In part, we are able to carry those additional assets by financing a portion of our ARM Assets with Collateralized Mortgage Debt financings, which have an initial fixed capital requirement of approximately
2% to 3% of the assets financed in this way. The GAAP measurement ignores changes in the level of equity required to support various forms of financing as the mix of our financing of ARM Assets changes between financing subject to margin
requirements and Collateralized Mortgage Debt financings which are not subject to margin requirements. This is another reason why we do not use the GAAP measurement to make leverage or capital utilization decisions.

The second alternative capital utilization measurement is the ratio of historical equity to historical assets. This is a non-GAAP measurement that
eliminates the market value adjustment of our assets and Hedging Instruments included in OCI. This measurement is calculated by dividing the sum of the assets, net unrealized gain (loss) on Purchased ARM Assets and net unrealized gain (loss) on
Hedging Instruments in the table above by the sum of shareholders equity and OCI. Our historical equity-to-historical assets ratio of 4.09% is below the regulatory well-capitalized threshold of 5% required of banks and savings and
loan institutions for the Tier I Core Capital Ratio.

The third alternative capital utilization measurement is the ratio of long-term
equity to historical assets. This is a non-GAAP measurement that eliminates the market value adjustment of our assets and Hedging Instruments included in OCI. This calculation also includes Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes as a component of our
long-term capital base. This measurement is calculated by dividing the sum of the assets, net unrealized gain (loss) on Purchased ARM Assets and net unrealized gain (loss) on Hedging Instruments in the table above by long-term capital. We monitor
these ratios in order to have a complete picture of the relationship between our total assets and long-term equity position.

The fourth
alternative capital utilization measurement is a calculation of our total risk-based capital ratio, a regulatory calculation required to be made by banks and savings and loan institutions that comply with Federal Reserve Board capital requirements.
The ratio results from dividing the sum of our historical and supplementary capital by total risk-weighted assets as presented in the Thrift Financial Report instructions. Risk-based capital measures capital requirements for assets based on their
credit exposure as defined by the regulation, with lower credit risk assets requiring less capital and higher credit risk assets requiring more capital. Although we are not subject to these regulatory requirements, we focus our efforts on only high
quality assets. Therefore, our risk-based capital ratio of 16.57% tends to be quite high when compared to banking institutions, and well in excess of the regulatory minimum of 10% required for banks and savings and loan institutions to qualify as
well-capitalized.

Equity Transactions

In May 2007, we completed a public offering of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock and received net proceeds of $116.4 million.

In June 2007, we completed a public offering of 2,956,250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share and received net proceeds of $71.2 million. In July 2007, we issued an additional
206,250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of the remaining over-allotment option we had granted to underwriters and received net proceeds of $5.0 million. The quarterly dividend is equal to the sum of $0.46875 (which is
equal to an annual base dividend rate of 7.50%), plus the product of the excess, if any, over $0.68 of the quarterly cash dividend paid on each share of Common Stock and the conversion rate then in effect. Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are
convertible at the option of the holder at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock by the conversion rate then in effect. The initial conversion price is $32.37 per
Common Share. On or after June 19, 2012, we may require holders to convert the Series E Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the conversion rate then in effect, but only if the Common Stock price equals or exceeds 130% of the then prevailing
conversion price of the Series E Preferred Stock for a certain period of time. The Series E Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, beginning on June 19, 2012 at a price of $25.00 per share, plus accumulated unpaid dividends, if
any. The Series E Preferred Stock may also be redeemed under limited circumstances prior to June 19, 2012. We are not required to redeem the shares and the Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date.

In September 2007, we completed a public offering of 23,000,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock at a
public offering price of $25.00 per share and received net proceeds of $545.3 million. The quarterly dividend is equal to the greater of (i) $0.6250 per quarter (which is equal to an annual base rate of 10% of the $25.00 liquidation preference
per share or $2.50 per year) or (ii) if, with respect to any calendar quarter, we distribute to the holders of Common Stock any cash, including quarterly cash dividends, an amount that is the same percentage of the $25.00 liquidation preference
per share of Series F Preferred Stock as the Common Stock dividend yield for that quarter. Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock by the conversion rate then in effect. The initial conversion price is $11.50 per share of Common Stock. On or after September 7, 2012, we may require holders to convert the Series F
Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the conversion rate then in effect, but only if the Common Stock price equals or exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock for a certain period of time. The Series F
Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, beginning on September 7, 2012 at a price of $25.00 per share, plus accumulated unpaid dividends, if any. The Series F Preferred Stock may also be redeemed under limited circumstances prior to
September 7, 2012. We are not required to redeem the shares and the Series F Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date. As of December 31, 2007, 1,810,285 shares of Series F Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock.

During 2007, we issued 2,066,000 shares of Common Stock through at-market transactions under a continuous equity offering program and received net
proceeds of $52.9 million.

During 2007, we issued 1,191,400 shares of Series C Preferred Stock through at-market transactions under a
controlled equity offering program and received net proceeds of $29.3 million.

During 2007, we issued 15,660,220 shares of Common Stock
under the DRSPP and received net proceeds of $206.5 million.

Our ROE decreased from the year ended 2006 to 2007 primarily due to $676.6 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses, and the sale of $23.6
billion of Purchased ARM Assets at a net loss of $1.1 billion primarily as a result of the market events in the third quarter of 2007 which are more fully discussed in the Executive Overview Section on page 31 of our September 30, 2007
Form 10-Q. ROE declined from 2005 to 2006 primarily due to increased competition for mortgage assets, continued narrowing of mortgage spreads over our cost of funds, a decline in the percent of Hybrid ARMs hedged with fixed rate borrowings as a
result of slowing prepayments, increased hedging activity as interest rates rose and the lag in reset dates on our Traditional ARM portfolio compared to the associated financing cost. This ROE decline was partially offset by growing our balance
sheet and better utilizing our existing capital base, as well as by the decrease in premium amortization as prepayments slowed from prior years and rising interest rates on our ARM Assets increased the expected yield on our portfolio.

Net interest income decreased $30.4 million in 2007 from 2006. We experienced a $23.6 million
increase in net interest income as a result of rising interest rates, and a $54.0 million decrease in net interest income caused by a decline in the size of our portfolio and a change in the mix of our borrowings. Our yield increase of 34 basis
points on interest earning assets resulted in increased interest income of $163.8 million, which was $23.6 million greater than the $140.3 million of additional interest expense caused by the 44 basis point increase our cost of funds. Our average
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $143.9 million and $493.6 million, respectively. However, while our average interest-bearing liabilities decreased, we experienced a $39.2 million increase in our interest expense
as a result of a $5.4 billion increase in the average balance of higher cost Collateralized Mortgage Debt, while the average balance of lower cost Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Asset-backed CP decreased by $6.0 billion.

Net interest income increased $2.2 million from 2005 to 2006. This increase in net interest income is composed of an unfavorable rate variance and a
favorable volume variance. The increased average size of our portfolio during 2006 compared to 2005 increased net interest income in the amount of $39.0 million. The average balance of our interest-earning assets was $47.8 billion during 2006,
compared to $34.2 billion during 2005  an increase of 39.9%. As a result of the yield on our interest-earning assets increasing to 5.17% during 2006 from 4.42% during 2005, an increase of 75 BPs, and our cost of funds increasing to 4.61% from
3.61% during the same period, an increase of 100 BPs, there was a net unfavorable rate variance of $36.8 million. The reduction of premium amortization from $93.5 million in 2005 to $55.8 million in 2006 contributed to the increase in yield from
4.61% to 5.17% during the same period. This reduction in premium amortization is due to other factors, including new asset acquisitions, changes in the forward interest rate curve, actual prepayments relative to prior period estimates of future
prepayment expectations and changes in the indices that drive future yield on Hybrid ARM and Traditional ARM assets.

As of December 31, 2007, our ARM Loans, including those that we have securitized, but with respect to which we have
retained credit loss exposure, accounted for 69.6% of our portfolio of ARM Assets or $24.5 billion.

We perform an analysis of our retained
credit loss exposure to develop an allowance for loan losses. The calculation of the allowance for loan losses consists of a delinquent loan reserve for probable losses on specifically identified loans which are greater than 60 days past due and a
general reserve for probable losses on the portion of the portfolio that is not significantly past due. We also evaluate our REO assets on a property by property basis. REO is initially recorded at its estimated fair value, with subsequent
write-downs through earnings for any impairment of value on the REO properties. At December 31, 2007, our allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans greater than 60 days past due, excluding REO, and gross ARM Loans was 11.9% and 0.1%,
respectively, while our loans greater than 60 days past due, excluding REO, as a percentage of ARM Loans was 37 basis points. Our charge-offs and realized losses for 2007 were 3.4% of the balance of loans 60 days or more past due and REO at
December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2006, our allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans greater than 60 days past due,
excluding REO, and gross ARM Loans was 66.7% and 0.1%, respectively, while our loans greater than 60 days past due, excluding REO, as a percentage of ARM Loans was 9 basis points.

During 2007, 2006, and 2005, we recorded loan loss provisions totaling $6.7 million, $3.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, to reserve for estimated credit losses on ARM Loans.

At December 31, 2007 we had 30 REO properties valued at $17.0 million as a result of
foreclosing on delinquent loans. During 2007, we recorded impairments to the REO properties of $2.0 million. We had seven REO properties valued at $4.1 million at December 31, 2006.

Our Purchased Securitized Loans include less than Investment Grade classes that generally include a discount for probable credit losses and, based on managements judgment, the portion of
the purchase discount which reflects the estimated unrealized loss on the securities due to credit risk was treated as a non-accretable discount. As of December 31, 2007, 110 of the underlying loans of our Purchased Securitized Loans were 60
days or more delinquent, including REO, and had an aggregate balance of $99.2 million.

In 2007, we realized $0.9 million of losses on the
securities underlying loans, recorded $676.6 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses, and increased our non-accretable discount by $7.5 million for expected future losses. The other-than-temporary impairment losses and non-accretable
discount charges are included in the (loss) gain on ARM Assets in our consolidated income statement.

As of December 31, 2006, 54 of
the underlying loans of our Purchased Securitized Loans were 60 days or more delinquent and had an aggregate balance of $53.2 million.

We recorded a net loss of $16.9 million on Derivatives during 2007. The net loss consisted of net
losses of $15.8 million on Swap Agreements, which were originally intended to qualify as cash flow hedges but did not due to the reduction in borrowings in August 2007, and $9.7 million on commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders and
bulk sellers. The net losses were partially offset by net gains of $4.7 million on Swap Agreement terminations, $3.3 million on Pipeline Hedging Instruments and $600,000 on other Derivative transactions. We recorded a net gain of $25.7 million on
Derivatives during 2006, which consisted of a net gain of $46.5 million on commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders and bulk sellers and a net gain of $1.5 million on other Derivative transactions partially offset by a net loss of
$22.3 million on Pipeline Hedging Instruments.

The most significant decreases to our operating expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 were the $21.1
million decrease in the expenses associated with our long-term incentive awards caused by the decline in our common stock price and the $17.0 million decrease in performance-based compensation paid to the Manager partially offset by the $936.6
thousand increase in base management fees paid to the Manager. The Manager did not earn any performance-based compensation in the second half of 2007. Our ROE for 2007, which includes the effect of the performance-based fee of $17.7 million, was
79.53% and is down from the ROE for 2006 of 12.78% primarily due to the sale of $23.6 billion of Purchased ARM Assets at a net loss of $1.1 billion and $676.6 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses.

The most significant increases to our operating expenses in 2006 compared to 2005 were the $7.0 million increase in expenses related to expanded
operations of TMHL, the $3.7 million increase in base management fees paid to the Manager and the $1.4 million increase in the expenses associated with our long-term incentive awards. The increased expenses were partially offset by the $4.1 million
decrease in the performance-based fee that the Manager earned as a result of our achieving an ROE in excess of the threshold as defined in the Management Agreement. Our ROE prior to the effect of the performance-based fee of $34.7 million for 2006
was 14.32%, whereas the threshold, the average Ten Year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 1%, was 5.79%. This ROE is a non-GAAP measurement used solely to calculate the amount of the performance-based fee earned by the Manager, in accordance with the formula
contained in the Management Agreement. Our GAAP ROE for 2006, which includes the effect of the performance-based fee of $34.7 million, was 12.78%.

The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $17.0 million, based on a combined federal and state effective tax rate of 39.2% on estimated deferred taxable income of $48.1 million. The provision related to a
deferred tax liability associated with certain Cap Agreements owned by TMHS that were entered into in conjunction with certain securitization transactions. TMHS plans to hold these Cap Agreements until expiration and not trigger the tax liability
that it would incur if it terminated the agreements. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 were immaterial and no provision is reflected on the Consolidated Income Statements.

Market Risks

The market risk management discussion and the amounts estimated
from the analysis that follows are forward-looking statements that assume that certain market conditions will occur. Actual results may differ materially from these projected results due to changes in our ARM portfolio and borrowings mix and due to
developments in the domestic and global financial and real estate markets. Developments in the financial markets include the likelihood of changes in interest rates and in the relationship of various interest rates and their impact on our ARM
portfolio yield, cost of funds and cash flows.

As a financial institution that has only U.S.-dollar denominated assets, liabilities and
Hedging Instruments, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Our market risk encompasses liquidity risk and interest rate risk, both of which arise in the normal course of business of a financial institution.
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity may be unable to meet a financial commitment to a customer, creditor, or investor when due. Liquidity risk is discussed in the Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern section beginning on
page 46. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in repricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect
that interest rates may have on our cash flows, especially ARM portfolio prepayments. Interest rate risk impacts our interest income and interest expense. Interest rate risk also includes the risk that changes in interest rates will result in
changes in the market value of our assets and liabilities. The management of interest rate risk attempts to maximize earnings and to preserve capital by minimizing the negative impacts of changing interest rates, asset and liability mix, and
prepayment activity.

##### Table of Contents

The table below presents an approximation of the sensitivity of the market value of our ARM portfolio,
including purchase commitments, using a discounted cash flow simulation model. Application of this method results in an estimation of the percentage change in the market value of our assets, liabilities and Hedging Instruments per 100 and 200 BP
shifts in interest rates expressed in yearsa measure commonly referred to as Effective Duration. Positive portfolio Effective Duration indicates that the market value of the total portfolio will decline if interest rates rise and increase if
interest rates decline. Negative portfolio Effective Duration indicates that the market value of the total portfolio will decline if interest rates decline and increase if interest rates rise. The closer Effective Duration is to zero, the less
interest rate changes are expected to affect earnings. Included in the table is a base case Effective Duration calculation for an interest rate scenario that assumes future rates are those implied by the yield curve as of December 31, 2007. The
other four scenarios assume interest rates are instantaneously 100 and 200 BPs lower and 100 and 200 BPs higher than those implied by interest rates as of December 31, 2007.

The use of Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments is a critical part of our interest rate risk management strategies, and the effects of these Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments on the market value of the
portfolio are reflected in the models output. This analysis also takes into consideration the value of options embedded in our ARM Assets including constraints on the repricing of the interest rates of ARM Assets resulting from periodic and
lifetime cap features, as well as prepayment options. Assets and liabilities that are not interest rate-sensitive, such as cash, payment receivables, prepaid expenses, payables and accrued expenses, are excluded. The Effective Duration calculated
from this model is a key measure of the effectiveness of our interest rate risk management strategies.

Based on the assumptions used, the model output suggests a very low degree of portfolio price
change given decreases and increases in interest rates, which implies that our cash flow and earning characteristics should be relatively stable for comparable changes in interest rates. As a comparison, the approximate base case Effective Duration
of a ten year U.S. treasury, a conforming 30-year fixed mortgage and a conforming 5/1 Hybrid ARM are 7.6, 1.8 and 1.3 years respectively.

Changes in assumptions including, but not limited to, volatility, mortgage and financing spreads, prepayment behavior and defaults, changes in the shape of the yield curve, as well as the timing and level of interest rate changes, will
affect the results of the model. Therefore, actual results are likely to vary from modeled results.

Although market value sensitivity
analysis is widely accepted in identifying interest rate risk, it does not take into consideration changes that may occur such as, but not limited to, changes in investment and financing strategies, changes in market spreads, and changes in business
volumes. Accordingly, we make extensive use of an earnings simulation model to further analyze our level of interest rate risk.

There are
a number of key assumptions in our earnings simulation model. These key assumptions include changes in market conditions that affect interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the pricing of ARM products, the availability of ARM products, and the
availability and the cost of financing for ARM products. Other key assumptions made in using the simulation model include prepayment speeds and managements investment, financing and hedging strategies, and the issuance of new equity. We
typically run the simulation model under a variety of hypothetical business scenarios that may include different interest rate scenarios, different investment strategies, different prepayment possibilities and other scenarios that provide us with a
range of possible earnings outcomes in order to assess potential interest rate risk. The assumptions used represent our estimate of the likely effect of changes in interest rates and do not necessarily reflect actual results. The earnings simulation
model takes into account periodic and lifetime caps embedded in our ARM Assets in determining the earnings at risk.

Our earnings model base case at December 31, 2007 reflects the forward interest rate swap yield
curve. Based on the earnings simulation model, our potential earnings increase (decrease) from our base case earnings forecast for a parallel 100 and 200 BP decline and 100 and 200 BP rise in market interest rates over the next twelve months which
could include an adjustment in interest rate management strategies as interest rates change, was 6.9%, 13.7%, (11.7)% and (25.8)%, respectively, of projected net income for the year ending December 31, 2008. The assumptions used in the earnings
simulation model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the analysis cannot precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net income. Actual results could differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency
of interest rate changes, changes in prepayment speed and changes in other market conditions and management strategies, other than what was assumed in the model, to offset our potential exposure, among other factors. This measure of risk represents
our exposure to higher or lower interest rates at a particular point in time. Our actual risk is always changing. We continuously monitor our risk profile and alter our strategies as appropriate based on our view of interest rates and other
developments in our business.

Effects of Interest Rate Changes

Changes in interest rates impact our earnings in various ways. While we invest primarily in ARM Assets, rising short-term interest rates may temporarily negatively affect our earnings, and,
conversely, falling short-term interest rates may temporarily increase our earnings. This impact can occur for several reasons and may be mitigated by portfolio prepayment activity and portfolio funding and hedging strategies. For example, our
borrowings may react to changes in interest rates sooner than our ARM Assets because the weighted average next repricing date of our borrowings may be sooner than that of our ARM Assets. Additionally, interest rates on Traditional ARM Assets may be
limited to an increase of either 1% or 2% per adjustment period (commonly referred to as the periodic cap), or indices may be based on weighted averages rather than current rates, while our borrowings do not have similar limitations. Our ARM
Assets also typically lag changes in the applicable interest rate indices by 45 days, due to the notice period provided to ARM borrowers when the interest rates on their loans are scheduled to change.

Interest rates can also affect our net return on Hybrid ARM Assets (net of the cost of financing Hybrid ARM Assets). We estimate the Effective Duration
of our Hybrid ARM Assets and have a policy to hedge the financing of the Hybrid ARM Assets such that the Net Effective Duration is less than one year. During a declining interest rate environment, the prepayment of Hybrid ARM Assets may accelerate
causing the amount of fixed-rate financing to increase relative to the amount of Hybrid ARM Assets, possibly resulting in a decline in our net return on Hybrid ARM Assets as replacement Hybrid ARM Assets may have lower yields than the ones paying
off. In contrast, during a rising interest rate environment, Hybrid ARM Assets may prepay slower than expected, requiring us to finance more Hybrid ARM Assets with more costly funds than was originally anticipated, resulting in a decline in our net
return on Hybrid ARM Assets. In order to manage our exposure to changes in the prepayment speed of Hybrid ARM Assets, we regularly monitor the balance of Hybrid ARM Assets and make adjustments to the amounts anticipated to be outstanding in future
periods and, on a regular basis, make adjustments to the amount of our fixed-rate borrowing obligations in future periods.

Interest rate
changes can also affect the availability and pricing of ARM Assets, which affects our investment opportunities. During a rising interest rate environment, there may be less total loan origination and refinance activity, but a larger percentage of
ARM products being originated, mitigating the impact of lower overall loan origination and refinance activity. Conversely, during a declining interest rate environment, consumers, in general, may favor fixed-rate mortgage products, but because there
will likely be above average loan origination and refinancing volume in the industry, even a small percentage of ARM product volume may provide sufficient investment opportunities. Additionally, a flat or inverted yield curve may be an adverse
environment for ARM products because there may be little incentive for a consumer to choose an ARM product over a 30 year fixed-rate mortgage loan. Conversely, in a steep yield curve environment, ARM products may enjoy an above average advantage
over 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loans, increasing our investment opportunities. The volume of ARM Loans being originated industry-wide can also affect their investment yield. During periods when there is a shortage of ARM products, yields may
decline due to market forces and conversely, when there is an above average supply of ARM products, yields may improve due to the same market forces.

The prepayment rate on our ARM Assets may increase if interest rates decline or if the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates diminishes. An increase in prepayments would cause us to amortize the
premiums paid for our ARM Assets faster, resulting in a lower yield on our ARM Assets. Additionally, if prepayment proceeds cannot be reinvested in ARM Assets having similar yields to those being replaced, our operations may be adversely affected.
Conversely, the prepayment rate on our ARM Assets may decrease if interest rates rise or if the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates increases. Decreased prepayments would cause us to amortize the premiums paid for our ARM
Assets over a

longer time period, resulting in an increased yield on our ARM Assets. Therefore, in rising interest rate environments where prepayments are declining, not
only would the interest rate on the ARM portfolio reset to reflect higher interest rates, but the yield would also rise due to slower prepayments. The combined effect could mitigate other negative effects that rising short-term interest rates might
have on earnings.

Lastly, because we invest primarily in ARM Assets, and a portion of such assets are purchased with shareholders
equity, our earnings, over time, will tend to increase, after an initial short-term decline, following periods when short-term interest rates have risen, and decrease after an initial short-term increase, following periods when short-term interest
rates have declined. This is because the financed portion of our ARM portfolio will, over time, reprice to a spread over our cost of funds, while the portion of our ARM portfolio purchased with shareholders equity will generally have a higher
yield in a higher interest rate environment and a lower yield in a lower interest rate environment.

Other Matters

The Code requires that at least 75% of our consolidated tax assets must be Qualified REIT Assets. The Code also requires that we meet a defined annual 75%
source of income test and an annual 95% source of income test. As of December 31, 2007, we calculated that we were in compliance with all of these requirements except that the treatment of gains from the termination of Swap Agreements in the
third quarter of 2007 is not clear and if such gross income is not qualifying for the 95% gross income test, then we may have failed that test for our 2007 taxable year. For a more complete discussion of this topic, see page 17. We also met all REIT
requirements regarding the ownership of capital stock and the distributions of our net income. As of December 31, 2007, we believed that we continue to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Code.

As a REIT, we must (i) distribute at least 85% of our taxable income by the end of each calendar year and (ii) declare dividends of at least
90% of our income by the time we file our tax return for such year, and pay such dividends no later than the date of the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. Therefore, we generally pass through substantially all of our earnings in
the form of dividends to shareholders without paying federal or state income tax at the corporate level. As of December 31, 2007, we had met all of the dividend distribution requirements of a REIT. Since we, as a REIT, pay dividends based on
taxable earnings, the dividends may at times be more or less than reported earnings. During 2007, 100% of our dividends distributed were characterized as a distribution of ordinary income. The following table provides a reconciliation between our
earnings as reported based on GAAP and our REIT estimated taxable income (which is a non-GAAP measurement) before our common dividend deduction:

Investment Company Act exempts from regulation entities that are primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring
mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate. In order to maintain our exempt status under the Investment Company Act, current SEC staff interpretations require that at least 55% of our assets must consist of Qualifying
Interests, as such term has been defined by the SEC staff. In addition, unless certain mortgage securities represent all the certificates issued with respect to an underlying pool of mortgages, such mortgage securities may be treated as securities
separate from the underlying mortgage loans and, thus, may not be considered Qualifying Interests for purposes of the 55% requirement. We calculated that we are in compliance with this requirement at December 31, 2007.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain controls and procedures designed to
ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC, and to record, process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified by the SEC. Based on an evaluation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report conducted by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers have
concluded that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we are able to record, process, summarize and report the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC within the required time periods.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, we assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control 
Integrated Framework.Based on our assessment under the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. KPMG
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a combined report related to its audits of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007, which report appears on page F-3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, there has been no change
in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



|Item 9B. | OTHER INFORMATION
|-------- | -----------------

On March 7, 2008, we reported that we may not have the ability to hold our Purchased ARM Assets to recovery, and that, accordingly, we had concluded that a material charge for impairment to our Purchased ARM Assets of $427.8 million in
gross unrealized losses on Purchased ARM Assets as of December 31, 2007 was required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. On March 9, 2008, we determined that we may not have the ability to hold our Securitized ARM Loans to
maturity and, accordingly, we have recognized an aggregate impairment charge totaling $676.6 million in gross unrealized losses on our Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans as of December 31, 2007. The impairment charge resulted in a
decrease in management and incentive fees payable to our Manager of $5.9 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of
Directors and Shareholders of Thornburg Mortgage, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thornburg
Mortgage, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of shareholders equity, and statements of cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also audited the financial statement schedulemortgage loans on real estate. We also have audited Thornburg Mortgage, Inc.s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Thornburg
Mortgage, Inc.s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Thornburg
Mortgage, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein. Furthermore, in our opinion, Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

##### Table of Contents

As described in Note 2, the Company has restated the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2007, and for the year then ended. The Company has also restated the accompanying financial statement schedulemortgage loans on real estate.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company did not have the financial resources as of March 6, 2008 to satisfy margin calls approximating $610 million associated with its reverse repurchase agreements and certain other financial instruments. Failure to satisfy
these margin calls is an event of default under the reverse repurchase agreements and triggered cross default provisions in certain of the Companys financing agreements. These events of default provide the Companys lenders the discretion
to declare the entire unpaid amounts due and payable on demand and to force liquidation of the Companys assets to satisfy those obligations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THORNBURG MORTGAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In these financial statements, Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to as the Company, unless specifically stated
otherwise or the context indicates otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the financial statements below shall have the definitive meanings assigned to them in the Glossary at the end of this report.

Note 1. Liquidity and Going Concern Uncertainty

The Company has been significantly and negatively impacted by the events and conditions impacting the broader mortgage loan market. The mortgage market, including prime, has been adversely affected by weakening house
prices and increasing rates of delinquencies and defaults, which in turn has led to fewer sources of, and significantly reduced levels of, liquidity available to finance the Companys operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company may not, however, be able to continue as a going concern. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business are dependent on, among other things, the Companys available liquidity to meet margin calls resulting from changes in the fair market value of its Purchased ARM Assets collateralizing Reverse Repurchase Agreements and the continued
availability of financing for its ARM Assets.

For the period January 1, 2008 through March 6, 2008, the Company
received $1.8 billion in margin calls associated with its Reverse Repurchase Agreements and satisfied $1.2 billion of those margin calls, primarily by using available liquidity, principal and interest payments and proceeds from the sale of assets.
As of March 6, 2008, the Company was unable to satisfy margin calls approximating $610 million. Failure to satisfy these margin calls constitutes an event of default under the respective Reverse Repurchase Agreements, thereby providing the
transaction counter-party the ability to force the Company to liquidate the collateral underlying the reverse repurchase transaction at the counter-partys discretion. Further, these events of default triggered cross covenant default provisions
in certain of the Companys financing agreements, thereby providing those lenders the ability to declare events of default. Failure to comply with the restrictive covenants in the Companys lending agreements provide the lender the
discretion to declare the entire unpaid amount due and payable on demand and force liquidation of the Companys assets to satisfy those obligations, and prohibit further borrowings by the Company under the respective facilities.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had two committed whole loan financing facilities for a total of $600 million and two uncommitted
facilities totaling $1.0 billion. Each of the whole loan facilities has a financial covenant requiring profitability in each of the previous four quarters. Due to losses the Company experienced on asset sales during the third quarter of 2007, the
Company requested waivers of this covenant from each lender, which were granted. The Company did not receive similar waivers from lenders for the fourth quarter of 2007. Further, on February 28, 2008, a notice of event of default received by
the Company from a Reverse Repurchase Agreement counterparty caused a default under the cross default provisions of the whole loan financing facilities and the Company must obtain a waiver from its lenders to reactivate its warehouse facilities.

The Company is working to meet all of its outstanding margin calls within a timeframe acceptable to its lenders, by either
selling portfolio securities, issuing Collateralized Mortgage Debt or raising additional debt or equity capital. For the period January 1, 2008 through March 6, 2008, the Company reduced its portfolio of ARM assets financed with recourse
financing by approximately $4.6 billion, of which $1.9 billion has been permanently financed, in order to reduce the Companys exposure to margin calls. The Company also has raised $488.0 million in equity capital since December 31, 2007,
and is continuing to seek to raise additional capital in order to provide a more stable base of liquidity during what the Company expects to be difficult market conditions for at least several months. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in securing additional sources of liquidity necessary for it to meet its obligations as they come due.

Through March 6, 2008, the Company had received notices of event of default under Reverse Repurchase Agreements from four different lenders as a result of the Companys failure to meet margin calls. The aggregate amount of
borrowing outstanding with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. The Company has entered into a temporary syndicate agreement with its remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls
through Monday, March 10, 2008, while it pursues solutions to its liquidity shortfall. The lenders have no obligation to extend this agreement. The Companys Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured lending agreements contain cross
default provisions and the related lenders could declare an event of default at any time. Accordingly, the respective lenders, at their discretion, may declare the aforementioned amounts due and payable on demand. The Companys liquidity and
borrowing capacity is insufficient to satisfy these obligations, should the lenders demand repayment. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2. Restatement of Financial Statements

The Company has
restated its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007 and the related Consolidated Income Statement, Statement of Shareholders Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the related Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements. As described in Note 1, the Company has substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company may not have the ability to hold its Purchased ARM Assets and
Securitized ARM Loans to maturity and, accordingly, has recognized an impairment charge totaling $676.6 million in gross unrealized losses on those assets as of December 31, 2007. The impairment charge resulted in a decrease in management and
incentive fees of $5.9 million. The following tables set forth the impacts of these restatements on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. was incorporated in Maryland on July 28, 1992. The Company commenced its operations of purchasing and
managing for investment a portfolio of ARM Assets on June 25, 1993, upon receipt of the net proceeds from the initial public offering of Common Stock.

Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. is a single-family residential mortgage lending company that originates, acquires and retains investments in ARM Assets comprised of ARM securities and ARM Loans, thereby providing capital to
the single-family residential housing market. The Company uses its equity capital and borrowed funds to invest in ARM Assets and seeks to generate income based on the difference between the yield on its ARM Assets portfolio and the cost of its
borrowings.

##### Table of Contents

The Companys wholly-owned mortgage loan origination and acquisition subsidiary,
Thornburg Mortgage Home Loans, Inc. (TMHL), conducts the Companys mortgage loan acquisition, origination, processing, underwriting and securitization activities. TMHL originates and acquires mortgage loans through four channels:
correspondent lending, wholesale lending, direct retail lending and bulk acquisitions. TMHL finances the loans through whole loan financing facilities and pools loans for securitization which are then either sold to its parent or issued as debt to
third-parties. In August 2006, TMHL acquired Adfitech, a provider of quality control post-closing audit and document delivery services to the mortgage industry.

The Company is a single-family residential mortgage lender that originates, acquires and retains investments in ARM Assets and does not engage in any other line of business offering any other
products or services. The Company does not originate or acquire investments outside of the United States of America. No single customer accounts for 10 percent or more of the Companys total revenues.

A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies follows:

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TMA, TMD, TMCR, TMFI, TMHS, TMHL, TMF and Adfitech. TMD, TMCR, TMFI and TMF
are qualified REIT subsidiaries and are consolidated with TMA for financial statement and tax reporting purposes. TMHL, Adfitech and TMHS are taxable REIT subsidiaries and are consolidated with TMA for financial statement purposes but are not
consolidated with TMA for tax reporting purposes. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value
measurement disclosure. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-1, Application of FASB SFAS 157 to FASB SFAS 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements that Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under SFAS 13 and FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB SFAS 157. FASB Staff Position 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FASB Staff Position 157-2 delays the
effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the beginning of the
first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The measurement and disclosure requirements related to financial assets and financial liabilities are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 for
financial assets and financial liabilities will not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. However, the resulting fair values calculated under SFAS 157 after adoption may be different from the fair values
that would have been calculated under previous guidance. SFAS 157 will be applied to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities beginning January 1, 2009, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Once a company chooses to report an item at fair value, changes in fair value would be reported in
earnings at each reporting date. SFAS 159 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FASB Interpretation Number 39-1, Amendment of FASB Staff Position FASB
Interpretation Number 39. FASB Interpretation Number 39-1 amends certain paragraphs of FASB Interpretation Number 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin Opinion
Number 10 and SFAS 105 to permit a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments
executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. Upon application, the Company shall be permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under
master netting arrangements. FASB Interpretation Number 39-1 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 109. Staff Accounting
Bulletin 109 supersedes Staff Accounting Bulletin 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments. It clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the
measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. However, it retains the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 105 that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the
fair value of a derivative loan commitment. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the estimated
financial impact, if any, on the Companys consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In December 2007, the
FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statementsan Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity
in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 will become effective for
the Company on January 1, 2009, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS 141 retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141
called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141(R) requires costs incurred to effect the acquisition and restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the acquisition. SFAS 141(R)
applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

Cash and cash
equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Restricted cash and cash
equivalents

Restricted cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less that are held by counter-parties as collateral for Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Asset-backed CP and Hedging Instruments. The carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

ARM Assets

The Companys ARM Assets are comprised of Purchased ARM Assets and ARM Loans. All of the Companys ARM Assets are either Traditional ARMs or Hybrid ARMs.

Purchased ARM Assets are composed mainly of ARM securities and Purchased Securitized Loans obtained from third parties. The Company has
designated all of its Purchased ARM Assets as available-for-sale. Therefore, they are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in OCI as a separate component of shareholders equity. Any unrealized loss deemed to be
other-than-temporary is recorded as a realized loss. Realized gains or losses on the sale of Purchased ARM Assets are recorded in operations at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between net sale proceeds and the amortized cost of
the securities.

Purchased Securitized Loans are third-party loan securitizations in which the Company purchased all
principal classes of the securitizations, including the subordinated classes. In August 2007, the Company sold the

##### Table of Contents

majority of the AAA-rated principal classes and no longer holds all principal classes originally purchased, yet maintains the credit risk indicative of
holding all of the classes up to the value of the Companys securities. One of the Companys objectives in its acquisition of Purchased Securitized Loans was to obtain assets that were Qualifying Interests for purposes of maintaining the
Companys exemption from the Investment Company Act. With the sale of the AAA-rated principal classes, none of the Companys Purchased Securitized Loans at December 31, 2007 are Qualifying Interests. However, all of the Companys
ARM Loans are Qualifying Interests and enable the Company to maintain its exemption from the Investment Company Act.

ARM
Loans, excluding Securitized ARM Loans, are designated as held-for-investment as the Company has the intent and ability to hold them for the foreseeable future, and until maturity or payoff. ARM Loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances,
including unamortized premium or discount, unamortized loan origination costs, unamortized deferred loan origination fees, net unrealized gain (loss) on purchase loan commitments and allowance for loan losses. Securitized ARM Loans are designated as
held for sale. Securitized ARM Loans are carried at lower of cost or market. In accordance with SFAS 140, Securitized ARM Loans and ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt are accounted for as loans and are not considered investments subject to
classification under SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

Securitized
ARM Loans are loans originated or acquired by the Company and securitized by the Company with the Company retaining 100% of the beneficial ownership interests.

ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt are loans originated or acquired by the Company and financed in their entirety on its balance sheet through securitization by the Company into sequentially rated
classes. In general, the Company retains the classes that are not AAA-rated which provide credit support for the higher rated classes issued to third-party investors in structured financing arrangements.

In accordance with SFAS 140, loan securitizations resulting in Securitized ARM Loans and ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt are accounted for
as secured borrowings under paragraphs 9(a)-9(c) of SFAS 140 because (1) the Company has the unilateral ability to cause the return of transferred assets and, therefore, has maintained effective control over the transferred assets and
(2) the transactions are completed through SPEs that do not meet the requirements of SFAS 140 to be considered QSPEs.

ARM loans held for securitization are loans the Company has acquired or originated and are intended to be securitized and retained by the Company.

Interest income on ARM Assets is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the assets. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of the ARM Assets are
amortized through interest income over the estimated lives of the assets considering the actual and future estimated prepayments and interest rates of the assets using the interest method in determining an effective yield. Estimating future lifetime
prepayments and estimating the remaining lives of the Companys ARM Assets requires management judgment, which involves consideration of possible future interest rate environments and an estimate of how borrowers will behave in those
environments. The actual lives of the ARM Assets could be longer or shorter than the lives estimated by management. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs and the cost of securitizing ARM Loans, are deferred and
amortized as an interest income yield adjustment over the life of the related loans using the effective yield method.

MSRs

Effective January 1, 2006 with the adoption of SFAS 156, Accounting for Servicing
of Financial Assets, the Company does not capitalize any MSRs in connection with securitizations accounted for as secured borrowings under SFAS 140. The Company did not elect to measure its previously existing servicing assets at fair value
and continues to measure them at the lower of cost or market value. Prior to January 1, 2006, MSRs were capitalized upon the securitization of ARM Loans as required by GAAP by allocating a portion of the cost basis of the securitized loans to
the estimated value of the servicing asset related to the loans retained by the Company as collateral in securitizations. MSRs are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The servicing revenue, net of servicing costs, MSR
amortization and impairment charges, is recorded as Servicing income, net in the Consolidated Income Statements.

MSRs are
amortized in proportion to, and over the expected period of, the estimated future net servicing income. MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or market value at the risk strata level and are periodically evaluated for impairment based on fair value,
which is determined using a discounted future cash flow model

that considers portfolio characteristics and assumptions regarding prepayment speeds, delinquency rates and other economic factors. Estimating prepayments
and estimating the remaining lives of the Companys ARM Assets requires management judgment, which involves consideration of possible future interest rate environments and an estimate of how borrowers will behave in those environments. The
actual lives could be longer or shorter than the amount estimated by management. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of MSRs, the Company stratifies its portfolio on the basis of predominant risk characteristics, including loan type
(Traditional ARM or Hybrid ARM).

Credit risk and allowance for loan losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based on managements estimate of credit losses inherent in the Companys
portfolio of ARM Loans, excluding Securitized ARM Loans. The estimate of the allowance is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, the potential for natural disasters, loan portfolio composition,
delinquency trends, credit losses to date on underlying loans and remaining credit protection. If the credit performance of its ARM Loans is different than expected, the Company adjusts the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by
management to provide for estimated losses inherent in its ARM Loan portfolio. Additionally, once a loan is 90 days or more delinquent, or a borrower declares bankruptcy, the Company adjusts the value of its accrued interest receivable to what it
believes to be collectible and stops accruing interest on that loan. The Company provides specific allowances for loan losses on loans that are considered to be impaired when a significant permanent decline in value is identified.

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of cost basis or fair
value at the date of foreclosure, less estimated costs of disposition. Fair value is based on valuation techniques applied at the date of acquisition, less estimated selling costs. The excess of the recorded loan balance over the estimated fair
value of the property at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write downs to fair value less cost to sell are recorded in (loss) gain on ARM Assets in the period of the decline in value. Any increase in
fair value less cost to sell is recognized as a gain, but not in excess of the cumulative loss previously recognized. Operating expenses of such properties and gains and losses on their disposition are included in noninterest income and expense.

The Companys Purchased Securitized Loans include all credit loss classes of third-party ARM loan securitizations.
When the Company acquired the classes that were below Investment Grade, the purchase price of those securities generally included a discount for probable credit losses. This discount was recorded as part of the purchase price of that security. Based
upon managements analysis and judgment, a portion of the purchase discount is subsequently accreted as interest income under the effective yield method while the remaining portion of the purchase discount is treated as a non-accretable
discount which reflects the estimated unrealized loss on the securities due to credit risk. If management ultimately concludes that the non-accretable discount will not represent realized losses, the balance is accreted into earnings over the
remaining life of the security through the effective yield method. In the event that management concludes that losses may exceed the non-accretable discount, the Company revises its estimate of probable losses and the change in the estimate of
losses is recorded as a reduction in operations.

Provisions for credit losses do not reduce taxable income and thus do not
affect the dividends paid by the Company to shareholders in the period the provisions are taken. Actual losses realized by the Company do reduce taxable income in the period the actual loss is realized, thereby affecting taxable income available for
distribution and the amount of dividends that may be paid to shareholders for that tax year.

Valuation
methods

The fair values of the Companys Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans are generally based
on market prices provided by third-party pricing services or by broker/dealers who make markets in these financial instruments. If the fair value of a Purchased ARM Asset or a Securitized ARM Loan is not reasonably available from a dealer or a
third-party pricing service, management estimates the fair value. For securities valued by management, the Company first looks to identify a security in its portfolio for which a third-party market price is available that has similar characteristics
including interest coupon, product type, credit rating, seasoning and duration. The third-party market price of the similar security is then used to value the security for which there was no third-party quote, by applying the percentage change in
price of the similar security for the relevant period to the price of the security for which there was no third-party quote. The objective is to use the third-party quote as the primary valuation indicator; however, if the Company is unable to
identify a similar

security in its portfolio, management looks to recent market transactions of similar securities or makes inquiries of broker-dealers that trade similar
securities and uses the data obtained to calculate a market price based on a yield or spread target. At December 31, 2007, the Companys Purchased ARM Assets were valued pursuant to the following methodologies (dollar amounts in
thousands):

The fair values of ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt and ARM loans held for
securitization are estimated by the Company using the same pricing models employed by the Company to determine prices to purchase loans in the open market, taking into consideration the aggregated characteristics of groups of loans such as, but not
limited to, collateral type, index, interest rate, margin, length of fixed interest rate period, life cap, periodic cap, underwriting standards, age and credit.

Purchase commitments related to correspondent and bulk loans that will be held for investment purposes generally qualify as derivatives under SFAS 133 and SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the net unrealized gain or loss on purchase commitments is calculated using the same methodologies that are used to price the
Companys originated ARM Loans, adjusted for anticipated fallout for purchase commitments that will likely not be funded. The Companys net unrealized gain (loss) on purchase commitments is recorded as a component of ARM loans held for
securitization, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the respective changes in fair value recorded in Gain (Loss) on Derivatives, net in the Consolidated Income Statements. Commitments to originate direct retail and wholesale loans are not
considered derivatives under GAAP.

The fair values of the Companys Collateralized Mortgage Debt, Senior Notes,
Subordinated Notes and Hedging Instruments are based on market values provided by dealers who are familiar with the terms of these instruments.

The fair value of Eurodollar Transactions is determined on a daily basis by the closing prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of securities valued by management, the estimated fair values may differ significantly from values that would have been used had a readily available market for
these investments existed, and the differences could be significant.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash
equivalents and interest receivable are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at cost. Other assets, Reverse Repurchase Agreements, Asset-backed CP, whole loan financing facilities, accrued expenses and other liabilities are reflected
in the consolidated financial statements at their amortized cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Hedging Instruments

All of the Companys Hedging
Instruments are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value as an asset, if their fair value is positive, or as a liability, if their fair value is negative. In general, most of the Companys Hedging Instruments are
designated as cash flow hedges, and the effective amount of change in the fair value of the Derivative is recorded in OCI and transferred to earnings as the hedged item affects operations. The ineffective amount of all Hedging Instruments is
recognized in operations each quarter. Generally, a hedging strategy is effective under SFAS 133 if it achieves offsetting cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged and meets certain predetermined statistical thresholds pursuant to SFAS 133.
If the hedging strategy is

not successful in achieving offsetting cash flows or meeting the statistical thresholds, it is ineffective and will not qualify for hedge accounting.

As the Company enters into hedging transactions, it formally documents the desired relationship between the Hedging
Instruments and the hedged items. The Company has also documented its risk management policies, including objectives and strategies, as they relate to its hedging activities. The Company assesses, both at the inception of a hedging activity and on
an on-going basis, whether or not the hedging activity is highly effective. If it is determined that a hedge has been highly effective, but will not be prospectively, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively, at which time the fair
value is recognized into operations.

Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments

The Company may enter into Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments in order to manage its interest rate exposure when financing its Hybrid ARM
Assets. Although the Company generally borrows money based on short-term interest rates, its Hybrid ARM Assets have an initial fixed interest rate period of three to ten years. As a result, the Companys existing and forecasted borrowings
reprice to a new rate on a more frequent basis than do the Hybrid ARM Assets. Consequently, the Company uses Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments to fix, or cap, the interest rate on its borrowings during the expected fixed interest rate period of the
Hybrid ARM Assets to attempt to manage the interest rate risk by funding the ARM Assets with a combination of short-term borrowings and Hedging Instruments with a combined Effective Duration of less than one year. The notional amounts of the Hybrid
ARM Hedging Instruments generally decline over the life of these instruments and the notional amounts of a portion of the Companys Swap Agreements and all of the Companys Cap Agreements decline such that they are expected to
approximately equal the balance of the Hybrid ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt hedged with these Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments.

Swap Agreements have the effect of converting the Companys variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt over the life of the Swap Agreements. When the Company enters into a Swap Agreement, it generally agrees to pay a fixed rate of
interest and to receive a variable interest rate, generally based on LIBOR. The Company has two-way collateral agreements protecting its credit exposure to Swap Agreement counterparties.

The Company enters into Cap Agreements in connection with some of its Collateralized Mortgage Debt securitizations by incurring a
one-time fee or premium. Pursuant to the terms of the respective Cap Agreements, the Company will receive cash payments if the interest rate index specified in any such Cap Agreement increases above contractually specified levels. Therefore, such
Cap Agreements have the effect of capping the interest rate on a portion of the Companys borrowings so as not to exceed the level specified by the Cap Agreement. The purchase price of these Cap Agreements is expensed over the life of the Cap
Agreements and the expense increases as the Cap Agreements approach maturity.

The Company generally designates its Hybrid
ARM Hedging Instruments as cash flow hedges. All changes in the unrealized gains and losses on Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges have been recorded in OCI and are reclassified to operations as interest expense when
each of the forecasted financing transactions occurs. If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction, which in this case refers to interest payments to be made under the Companys short-term borrowing agreements or its debt obligations,
will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period as documented at the inception of the hedging relationship, or within an additional two-month time period thereafter, then the related gain or loss in OCI would be reclassified to
operations. The carrying value of these Hybrid ARM Hedging Instruments is included in Hedging Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of Swap Agreements is based on the discounted value of the remaining future net interest payments expected to be made over the remaining life of the Swap Agreements. Therefore, over time, as the actual
payments are made, the unrealized gain (loss) in OCI and the carrying value of the Swap Agreements adjust to zero and the Company therefore realizes a fixed financing cost over the life of the Hedging Instrument.

In those circumstances where a cash flow hedge is terminated, the Company conducts an analysis to determine when the amount in OCI should
be reclassified into operations in accordance with SFAS 133. If the original forecasted transaction was determined to be probable not to occur, the net gain or loss in OCI is immediately reclassified into operations. Otherwise, the net
gain or loss remains in OCI and is reclassified into operations in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects operations.

Pipeline Hedging Instruments

The Company may enter into Pipeline Hedging Instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with commitments to purchase
correspondent and bulk loans. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting to its Pipeline Hedging Instruments and, therefore, the change in fair value and the realized gains (losses) on these Pipeline Hedging Instruments are recorded in
current earnings. The net gain (loss) related to Pipeline Hedging Instruments is reflected in Gain (loss) on Derivatives, net, on the Consolidated Income Statements as an offset to the net gain (loss) recorded for the change in fair value of the
loan commitments.

Long-term incentive awards

The Company has a long-term incentive plan which is more fully described in Note 10. Since inception of the Plan in 2002, the Company has
accounted for all awards at fair value on the grant date and recorded subsequent changes in the fair value of the awards in current period operations. The PSRs issued under the Plan are variable in nature and are settled in cash. The liability for
PSRs is measured each period based on the fair value of the Common Stock. The effects of changes in the stock price during the vesting period, generally three years, are recognized as expense or a reduction of expense over the vesting period.
Dividend-equivalent payments on DERs and vested PSRs are recognized as compensation expense in the period in which they are declared. PSRs generally do not earn a dividend-equivalent until they are vested.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, divides comprehensive income or loss into net income or loss and other comprehensive income (loss), which includes unrealized gains and
losses on marketable securities defined as available-for-sale and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting under SFAS 133.

Income taxes

The Company, excluding TMHL, Adfitech and TMHS, elected to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of its income that is distributed to shareholders as
long as certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met. TMHL, TMHLs wholly owned subsidiary Adfitech, and TMHS are taxable REIT subsidiaries and, as such, are subject to both federal and state corporate income taxes.

Under FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if
it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to
be realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal or state taxing authorities for years before 2004. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits to increase significantly during the year ending December 31, 2008. The Company recognizes interest related to income tax matters in other interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in other
noninterest expense. The Company does not have any amount accrued for interest and penalties.

In the third quarter of
2007, market conditions forced the Company to dispose of a significant portion of the Companys portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, which, until the time they were disposed of, were a source of significant amounts of gross income that
qualified for purposes of both the REIT annual 75% gross income test and the REIT annual 95% gross income test. At the same time, the Company was compelled to dispose of or otherwise terminate associated Swap Agreements and thereby recognize a gain
that is potentially not eligible for exclusion from gross income under the special REIT hedging rule for purposes of the 95% gross income test.

The treatment of gains for the disposition or termination of such Swap Agreements for purposes of the 95% gross income test is not clear, and if such gross income is not qualifying for the 95% gross income test, then
the

Company may have failed that test for the 2007 taxable year. The Company believes that its failure of the 95% gross income test would be considered to be due
to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. As such, the applicable tax law provides that the Company would not be disqualified as a REIT for failure of the 95% gross income test, provided that the Company complied with certain reporting
requirements and paid a tax based, in part, on the amount by which the Company failed the test. To the extent the Company is considered to have failed the 95% gross income test, the Company expects that any tax due would be less than $300,000
because the amount by which the Company would be considered to have failed the 95% gross income test would be less than one percent.

In connection with a public offering of the Companys shares of Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock in January 2008, the Companys special tax counsel rendered an opinion concluding the Company had
qualified to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 1993, through the taxable year ended December 31, 2007, and the Companys organization and current and proposed method of operation will enable the
Company to meet the requirement for qualification and taxation as a REIT in subsequent years.

Although as described above,
the Company may have failed the annual 95% gross income test for its 2007 taxable year, the Company believes that any such failure would be considered due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Moreover, the Companys special tax counsel,
in providing the opinion mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph, has concluded that if the Company is considered to have failed the 95% gross income test for the 2007 taxable year, that such failure will be considered to be due to
reasonable cause and not willful neglect such that the failure will not result in the Companys disqualification as a REIT for the 2007 taxable year. Opinions of counsel are not, however, binding on the Service or the courts. If,
notwithstanding the opinion of the Companys special tax counsel, the Service were to assert that the Company failed the 95% gross income test for the 2007 taxable year and that such failure was not due to reasonable cause, and the courts were
to sustain that position, the Companys status as a REIT would terminate for the 2007 taxable year. The Company would not be eligible to again elect REIT qualification until the 2012 taxable year.

Income taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the change occurs. Subject to managements
judgment, a valuation allowance is established if realization of deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.

The
provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $17.0 million, based on a combined federal and state effective tax rate of 39.2% on estimated deferred taxable income of $48.1 million. The provision related to a deferred tax
liability associated with certain Cap Agreements owned by TMHS that were entered into in conjunction with certain securitization transactions. The Company plans to hold these Cap Agreements until expiration and not trigger the tax liability that it
would incur if it terminated the agreements. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were immaterial and no provision is reflected on the Consolidated Income Statements. The significant differences between the financial
statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases relate to MSRs capitalized for financial statement purposes, REMIC transactions accounted for as financings for financial statement purposes and as sales for
tax purposes, and TMHLs net operating loss carryforward. TMHLs net operating loss carryforwards from 2004, 2005 and 2006 total $194.6 million and they expire between 2024 and 2026. Management has established a valuation allowance against
the entire balance of TMHLs net deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 as it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company declared a $0.25 dividend per common share on December 18, 2007, which was paid in January 2008. As provided by
applicable tax rules and regulations, this dividend will be taken as a dividend paid deduction on the Companys 2007 income tax return to the extent there is sufficient taxable income. Any dividend in excess of the 2007 taxable income will be
reflected as a dividend paid deduction on the Companys 2008 income tax return. It is currently projected that the entire dividend will be reflected as a dividend paid deduction on the 2007 income tax return and, as such, has been reported to
the common shareholders as taxable dividend income in the 2007 calendar year.

(Loss) earnings per share

Basic EPS amounts are computed by dividing net (loss) income (adjusted for dividends declared on Preferred Stock) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential Common Stock instruments, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the earnings per common share. The Company had no
outstanding Common Stock equivalents during 2006 or 2005. During 2007, 16,215,135 potentially dilutive shares from Series E and Series F Preferred Stock were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

The Company realized a loss of $1.1 billion, net of a gain of $3.0 million, on the
sale of $23.6 billion of Purchased ARM Assets during the year ended December 31, 2007, of which $5.5 billion were liquidated in satisfaction of debt by several of the Companys Reverse Repurchase Agreement counterparties. The Company
realized a gain of $8.7 million on the sale of $1.6 billion of Purchased ARM Assets during the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company realized a gain of $8.6 million on the sale of $1.8 billion of Purchased ARM Assets during the year ended
December 31, 2005.

The Company recorded impairment charges to recognize managements estimate of additional
future losses due to credit risk inherent in its Purchased Securitized Loan portfolio of $7.5 million and $214,000 on ARM Assets during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company also recognized losses of $362.5
million, $65.3 million and $248.8 million at December 31, 2007, in other than temporary impairment charges on its ARM Securities, Purchased Securitized Loans, and Securitized ARM Loans, respectively. The Companys liquidity position
combined with difficult market conditions which have resulted in a significant deterioration of prices of mortgage backed collateral since August 2007 raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Therefore, the Company may not have the ability to hold its Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans to maturity and, accordingly, has recognized an impairment charge totaling $676.6 million in gross losses on those assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company securitized $6.5 billion of ARM Loans into five Collateralized Mortgage Debt
securitizations. While TMHL transferred all of the ARM Loans to separate bankruptcy-remote legal entities, on a consolidated basis the Company did not account for these securitizations as sales and, therefore, did not record any gain or loss in
connection with the securitizations. The Company retained $455.2 million of the resulting securities for its ARM Loan portfolio and financed $6.1 billion with third-party

investors, thereby providing long-term collateralized financing for these assets. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company held $21.7 billion and
$19.1 billion, respectively, of ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company held $2.2 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, of Securitized ARM Loans as a result of the Companys securitization efforts.
All discussions relating to securitizations in these financial statements and notes are on a consolidated basis and do not reflect the separate legal ownership of the loans by various bankruptcy-remote legal entities.

During 2007, the Company did not acquire any Purchased Securitized Loans. Of the $23.6 billion of Purchased ARM Assets sold during 2007,
$5.4 billion were Purchased Securitized Loans rated A or better. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Companys Purchased Securitized Loans totaled $647.2 million and $6.8 billion, respectively. These assets were Qualifying Interests for
purposes of maintaining the Companys exemption from the Investment Company Act at December 31, 2006. Due to the sale of the majority of the AAA-rated principal classes of the Purchased Securitized Loans in August 2007, none of the
Purchased Securitized Loans are Qualifying Interests at December 31, 2007. Because the Company purchased all credit loss classes of these securitizations, the Company has credit exposure, up to the value of the Companys securities on the
entire balance of underlying loans which totaled $5.9 billion and $6.8 billion at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The purchase price of the classes that are less than Investment Grade generally included a discount for probable credit
losses and, based on managements judgment, the portion of the purchase discount which reflects the estimated unrealized loss on the securities due to credit risk was treated as a non-accretable discount. As of December 31, 2007, 110 of
the underlying loans of the Companys Purchased Securitized Loans were 60 days or more delinquent, including real estate properties as a result of foreclosure, and had an aggregate balance of $99.2 million. Activity in non-accretable discounts
for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

Based upon a review of credit ratings, delinquency data and other information, the
unrealized loss in the above table is not reflective of credit deterioration. The Company determined that it may not have the ability to hold its Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans until recovery and recorded a $676.6 million
other-than-temporary impairment as a loss on ARM Assets in its consolidated income statement as of December 31, 2007. Therefore, unrealized losses have been recognized in its consolidated income statement as of December 31, 2007. At
December 31, 2006 the Company had the ability and intent to hold its Purchased ARM Assets until recovery and the unrealized losses were not considered to be other-than-temporary impairments. As presented in Note 9, the net unrealized loss of
$464.1 million on Purchased ARM Assets at December 31, 2006, decreased to a net unrealized gain of $22.9 million at December 31, 2007. The net unrealized gain on Hedging Instruments at December 31, 2006, of $152.1 million decreased to
a net unrealized loss of $195.3 million at December 31, 2007, for a combined change of an unrealized gain on Purchased ARM Assets and Hedging Instruments of $139.6 million. Of the Companys sale of $23.6 billion of Purchased ARM Assets
during 2007, $21.9 billion was made in response to unprecedented turmoil in the credit markets and the remaining $1.7 billion were sold at a net gain.

The Company has credit exposure on its ARM Loans. Nonaccrual loans totaling $66.3 million and $16.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no loans that were 90 days or
more past due, based on contractual terms, and still accruing interest at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The following tables summarize ARM Loan delinquency information as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 (dollar amounts in thousands):

The Company believes that its current level of allowance for loan losses is
adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the ARM Loan portfolio at December 31, 2007.

The Company originates
fully amortizing loans with interest only payment terms for a period not to exceed ten years. Interest only loans represented 87.5% and 84.8% of ARM Loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the
Companys investment in Fixed Option ARMs and Traditional Pay Option ARMs comprised 4.0% of ARM Assets and accumulated deferred interest totaled $63.7 million. Loans with interest only features, Fixed Option ARMs and Traditional Pay Option ARMs
have been identified as potentially having a concentration of credit risk as defined in SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company believes that its pricing, underwriting, appraisal, and other processes
are sufficient to manage potential credit risks.

In accordance with SFAS 156, no MSRs were capitalized in connection with
the securitization of $6.5 billion and $11.3 billion of ARM Loans during 2007 and 2006 because the securitizations were accounted for as secured borrowings under SFAS 140. MSRs of $26.2 million, net of amortization of $5.9 million during 2007, are
included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2007. MSRs of $33.1 million, net of amortization of $7.9 million during 2006, are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2006.
During 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million against the amortized cost of the MSRs in the Traditional ARM risk stratum. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the MSRs of $40.0 million equaled or exceeded their cost
basis in each risk stratum.

with notional balances totaling $499.6 million that become effective March 2009 and are also accounted for as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2007. These delayed Swap Agreements have been entered into to hedge the financing of the
Companys existing ARM Assets and the forecasted financing of the Companys ARM Assets purchase commitments at December 31, 2007, and to replace Swap Agreements as they mature. The combined weighted average fixed rate payable of the
delayed Swap Agreements was 4.70% at December 31, 2007.

The net unrealized loss on these Swap Agreements at
December 31, 2007 of $108.2 million included Swap Agreements with gross unrealized losses of $111.9 million and gross unrealized gains of $3.7 million and is included in Hedging Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of

through interest margin.

In August 2007, the Company terminated Swap Agreements with a notional balance of $43.8 billion
for a net payment of $878,000 with $4.7 million recognized immediately as a gain on Derivatives and $(5.6) million recorded as a charge to OCI. At December 31, 2007, the net unrealized loss recorded in OCI relating to all terminated Swap
Agreements totaled $95.7 million. The reclassification of OCI to operations will be recognized as the original hedged transactions impact operations. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reclassified $57.3 million of income into
net interest income. During 2008, $56.7 million of losses are expected to be reclassified into net interest income.

In
December 2006, the Company terminated and curtailed Swap Agreements with notional balances of $2.7 billion and $1.0 billion. A net unrealized loss was recorded in OCI relating to the termination and curtailment of the Swap Agreements in the amounts

the financing of Hybrid ARM Loans Collateralizing Debt had remaining net notional amounts of $630.9 million and $934.2 million, respectively. The Company has also entered into Cap Agreements that have start dates ranging from 2008 to 2010. The
notional balance at the start date will be the lesser of the scheduled amount of $197.6 million or the balance of Hybrid ARM loans associated with these Cap Agreements. The fair value of all of these Cap Agreements at December 31, 2007 and 2006
was $1.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively, and is included in Hedging Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the unrealized losses on these Cap Agreements of $6.9 million and $6.5 million,
respectively, are included in OCI. In the twelve month period following December 31, 2007, $3.7 million of net unrealized losses are expected to be realized. Pursuant to the terms of these Cap Agreements and subject to future prepayment
behavior, the notional amount of

originally intended to qualify as cash flow hedges but did not due to the reduction in borrowings in August 2007, and $9.7 million on commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders and bulk sellers. The net losses were partially offset by
net gains of $4.7 million on Swap Agreement terminations, $3.3 million on Pipeline Hedging Instruments and $600,000 on other Derivative transactions. The Company recorded a net gain of $25.7 million on Derivatives during the year ended
December 31, 2006. This gain consisted of a net gain of $46.5 million on commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders and bulk sellers and a net gain of $1.5 million on other Derivative transactions partially offset by a net loss of

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Collateralized Mortgage Debt was collateralized by ARM Loans with a principal balance of $21.6 billion and $19.0 billion, respectively. The debt matures between 2033 and 2047
and is callable by the Company at par once the total balance of the loans collateralizing the debt is reduced to 20% of their original balance. The balance of this debt is reduced as the underlying loan collateral is paid down and is expected to
have an average life at December 31, 2007 and 2006, of approximately 3.5 years.

Whole Loan Financing Facilities

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had two committed whole loan financing facilities with a total borrowing
capacity of $600.0 million that expire between April 2008 and December 2008. In addition to this committed borrowing capacity, the Company had an uncommitted borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion at December 31, 2007. The Company is currently
evaluating additional proposals for increasing its committed borrowing capacity. The interest rates on these facilities are indexed to one-month LIBOR and reprice accordingly. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $453.5 million borrowed
against these whole loan financing facilities at an effective rate of 5.42%. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $947.9 million borrowed against these whole loan financing facilities at an effective rate of 5.91%. The amount borrowed on
the whole loan financing facilities at December 31, 2007 was collateralized by ARM Loans with a carrying value of $486.1 million. Each of the whole loan financing facilities has a financial covenant requiring profitability in the previous four
quarters. Due to the losses the Company experienced on asset sales during the third quarter of 2007, the Company requested waivers of this covenant from each lender, which were granted. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had requested and
received waivers of this covenant from each lender for the loss in the third quarter of 2007. See Note 13 for Subsequent Events.

Senior Notes

The Company had $305.0 million in Senior Notes outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.0%, payable each May 15 and November 15, and mature on May 15, 2013. The Senior Notes are redeemable at a declining premium, in whole or in part, beginning on May 15, 2008, and at par beginning
on May 15, 2011. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred costs of $5.4 million, which are being amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the Senior Notes. The Company received premiums totaling
$3.6 million in connection with the issuance of Senior Notes, which are being amortized over the remaining expected life of the Senior Notes. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the balance of the Senior Notes outstanding, net of unamortized
issuance costs and premium, was $304.4 million, and had an effective cost of 8.06%, which reflects the effect of issuance costs and premiums received at issuance.

The Companys Senior Note obligations contain both financial and non-financial covenants. Significant financial covenants include limitations on the Companys ability to incur
indebtedness beyond specified levels, restrictions on the Companys ability to incur liens on assets and limitations on the amount and type of restricted payments, such as repurchases of, or payment of dividends on, its own equity securities,
that the Company makes. During 2007, the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants contained in its Senior Note obligations.

Subordinated Notes

The Company had $240.0 million in
Subordinated Notes outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006. TMA is a guarantor of the Subordinated Notes, which were issued by TMHL. The Subordinated Notes bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 7.47% per annum for the first
ten years and thereafter at a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 2.56% per annum, payable each January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30, and mature between
October 30, 2035 and April 30, 2036. TMHL has the option to redeem the Subordinated Notes at par, in whole or in part, on or after October 30, 2010. The Subordinated Notes may also be redeemed at a premium under limited circumstances
on or before October 30, 2010. In connection with the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, the Company incurred costs of $7.2 million, which are being amortized over the remaining expected life of the Subordinated Notes.

In September 2007, the Company completed a public offering of 23,000,000 shares of
Series F Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share and received net proceeds of $545.3 million. The quarterly dividend is equal to the greater of (i) $0.6250 per quarter (which is equal to an annual base rate of 10% of the
$25.00 liquidation preference per share or $2.50 per year) or (ii) if, with respect to any calendar quarter, the Company distributes to the holders of its Common Stock any cash, including quarterly cash dividends, an amount that is the same
percentage of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series F Preferred Stock as the Common Stock dividend yield for that quarter. Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into a number
of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock by the conversion rate then in effect. The initial conversion price is $11.50 per share of Common Stock. On or after September 7, 2012, the
Company may require holders to convert the Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the conversion rate then in effect, but only if the Common Stock price equals or exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series F Preferred
Stock for a certain period of time. The Series F Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, beginning on September 7, 2012 at a price of $25.00 per share, plus accumulated unpaid dividends, if any. The Series F Preferred Stock may also

remaining over-allotment option it had granted to underwriters and received net proceeds of $5.0 million. The quarterly dividend is equal to the sum of $0.46875 (which is equal to an annual base dividend rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation
preference per share), plus the product of the excess, if any, over $0.68 of the quarterly cash dividend paid on each share of Common Stock and the conversion rate then in effect. Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are convertible at the option
of the holder at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock by the conversion rate then in effect. The initial conversion price is $32.37 per share of Common Stock. On
or after June 19, 2012, the Company may require holders to convert the Series E Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the conversion rate then in effect, but only if the Common Stock price equals or exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion
price of the Series E Preferred Stock for a certain period of time. The Series E Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, beginning on June 19, 2012 at a price of $25.00 per share, plus accumulated unpaid dividends, if any. The

Note 10. Long-Term Incentive Awards

The Board of Directors adopted the Plan, effective September 29, 2002. The Plan authorizes TMAs Compensation Committee to grant
PSRs, DERs and SARs.

As of December 31, 2007, there were 1,540,066 DERs outstanding, all of which were vested, and
1,558,591 PSRs outstanding, of which 1,188,296 were vested. The Company recorded an expense recapture associated with DERs and PSRs of $13.3 million during 2007. The recapture recorded in 2007 consists of $20.8 million resulting from the impact of
the decrease in the Common Stock price on the value of the PSRs which was recorded as a fair value adjustment, partially offset by $5.8 million associated with dividend equivalents paid on DERs and PSRs and $1.7 million related to the amortization
of unvested PSRs. The Company recorded an expense associated with DERs and PSRs of $7.8 million and $6.4 million during 2006 and 2005, respectively. To date, the Company has not issued SARs under the Plan.

A summary of the status of the Companys activity in nonvested PSRs during the year ended December 31, 2007 is presented in the
table below:



|                                      |  |         |

|                                      |  | PSRs    |

|Forfeited                             |  | (18,342 | )
|                                      |  |         |  
|Nonvested awards at end of year       |  | 370,295 |  
|                                      |  |         |  

The weighted average fair value of 2007 awards was $15.61 per PSR. As of
December 31, 2007, unrecognized PSR compensation expense totaled $3.0 million and is expected to be recognized as the awards vest through 2009.

Note 11. Transactions with Affiliates

The Company is managed externally by the Manager under the terms of the Management Agreement. The Manager receives an annual base
management fee of 1.39% on the first $300 million of Average Historical Equity, plus 1.02% on Average Historical Equity above $300 million but less than $1.5 billion. The additional fee earned on Average Historical Equity is limited to 0.90% on
Average Historical Equity greater than $1.5 billion but less than $2.0 billion, to 0.84% for Average Historical Equity greater than $2.0 billion but less than $2.5 billion, to 0.79% for Average Historical Equity greater than $2.5 billion but less
than $3.0 billion, and is capped at 0.74% on any Average Historical Equity greater than $3.0 billion. These percentages are subject to an inflation adjustment each July based on changes to the Consumer Price Index over the prior twelve month period.
Each quarter, the Manager may earn a performance-based incentive fee of 20% of the Companys annualized net income, before performance-based compensation, above an annualized ROE as defined in the Management Agreement equal to the Ten Year U.S.
Treasury Rate plus 1%, with the fee limited such that once the Manager has earned a performance fee of $30 million, the performance fee percentage of 20% is reduced by 1% for each additional $5 million earned in performance fees until reaching a
performance fee percentage of 15% for any amount greater than $50 million.

The Management Agreement provides for an annual
review of the Managers performance by the Companys independent directors. In addition, the Board of Directors reviews the Companys financial results, policy compliance and strategic direction on a quarterly basis. If the Company
terminated the Management Agreement for a reason other than for cause, a substantial cancellation fee would be payable to the Manager.

During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid certain reimbursement expenses of $14.1 million, $11.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively, to the Manager in accordance with the
contractual terms of the Management Agreement. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $2.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, was payable by the Company to the Manager for these reimbursable expenses.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred base management fees of $25.6 million, $24.7 million and
$21.0 million, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, was payable by the Company to the Manager for the base management fee.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred performance-based fees in the amount of
$17.7 million, $34.7 million and $38.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, no amounts were payable by the Company to the Manager for performance-based compensation. As of December 31, 2006, $9.8 million was payable by the
Company to the Manager for performance-based compensation.

Pursuant to an employee residential mortgage loan program
approved by the Board of Directors as part of the Companys residential mortgage loan origination activities, certain of the directors and officers of the Company and employees of the Manager and of other affiliates of the Company have obtained
residential first lien mortgage loans from the Company. In general, the terms of the loans and the underwriting requirements are identical to the loan programs that the Company offers to unaffiliated third parties, except that participants in the
program qualify for an employee discount on the interest rate. At the time each participant enters into a loan agreement, such participant executes an addendum that provides for the discount on the interest rate, which is subject to cancellation at
the time such participants employment or association with the Company or the related entity is terminated for any reason. Effective with the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on July 30, 2002, any new loans made to directors or
executive officers are not eligible for the employee discount. As of December 31, 2007, the aggregate balance of mortgage loans outstanding to directors and officers of the Company, and employees of the Manager and other affiliates amounted to
$58.3 million, had a weighted average interest rate of 5.44%, and maturities ranging between 2031 and 2038.

Note 12. Litigation

Securities Class Action Litigation

On August 21, 2007, a
complaint for a securities class action entitled Slater v Thornburg, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. Subsequently, three similar class
action complaints were filed in the Southern District of New York, and one more was filed in the District of New Mexico. All five complaints allege that the Company and the other named defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false and
misleading statements in financial reports filed with the SEC, press releases and other public statements, which resulted in artificially inflated market prices of the Companys Common Stock, and that the named plaintiff and members of the
putative class purchased Common Stock at these artificially inflated market prices. Two complaints allege class periods ranging from October 6, 2005 though August 17, 2007, one alleges a class period running from October 6, 2005
through August 20, 2007, and two more allege a class period running from April 19, 2007 through August 14, 2007. Each complaint seeks unspecified money damages. The five actions have been formally consolidated in the District of New
Mexico, and will be litigated as a single proceeding. The Company believes the allegations are without merit, and intends to defend against them vigorously. At December 31, 2007, no loss amount had been accrued because a loss is not considered
probable or estimable.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation

On August 24, 2007, a shareholder derivative complaint, or the Derivative Complaint, was filed in the First Judicial
District Court (Santa Fe County, New Mexico) by an alleged shareholder of the Company alleging that certain of the Companys officers and all of its directors violated state law, breached their fiduciary duties, and were unjustly enriched,
during the period between October 2005 and August 24, 2007, resulting in substantial monetary losses and other damages to the Company. The Derivative Complaint seeks unspecified money damages, along with changes in corporate governance and
internal procedures.

This derivative litigation is in its preliminary stages, and the Company cannot predict its outcome,
as the litigation process is inherently uncertain. However, the Company believes the allegations are without merit, and intends to defend itself vigorously. All parties to this action have stipulated to an indefinite stay of all proceedings, and
have asked the court to enter an order accordingly. At December 31, 2007, no loss amount had been accrued because a loss is not considered probable or estimable.

Note 13. Subsequent Events (as restated)

On January 4, 2008, the Company
declared a quarterly dividend of $0.63723 per share of Series F Preferred Stock, paid on February 15, 2008 to shareholders of record on January 31, 2008.

In January 2008, the Company received net proceeds of $230.4 million from the concurrent public offerings of 8,050,000 shares of Common Stock and 9,137,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

In January and February of 2008, the Company terminated Swap Agreements which had been qualified under FAS 133 with a total
notional amount of $3.0 billion for a net payment of $78.9 million which was recorded in OCI. The reclassification from OCI to operations will be recognized as the original hedged transactions impact operations.

In February 2008, Congress passed legislation that will allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to increase the loan amounts that they may
purchase to an indexed amount within certain higher cost markets across the United States. As a result, these entities will generally be able to purchase loans up to $729,750 instead of the previous limit of $417,000. The Company does not believe
that this will have material negative impact on loan origination volume as less than 20% of the Companys current loan production is between $417,000 and $729,750.

Since December 31, 2007 and through March 6, 2008, the Company has reduced its portfolio of ARM assets financed with recourse financing by approximately $4.6 billion, of which $1.9
billion has been permanently financed, in order to reduce its exposure to margin calls. Further declines occurring subsequent to December 31, 2007 in the estimated fair values of Purchased ARM Assets and Securitized ARM Loans held at
December 31, 2007 still remaining in the Companys portfolio are estimated at $1 billion as of March 6, 2008. The impact of this further impairment on the Companys financial results for the first quarter ending March 31,
2008 from changes in fair value of these exposures subsequent to December 31, 2007 will depend on future market developments and could differ materially from the aggregate estimated declines in fair value noted above.

As of February 29, 2008, the Company had satisfied all of its commercial paper obligations at maturity; however, on March 3,
2008, the Company extended the maturity date of the remaining outstanding Asset-backed CP of $300.0 million to April 14, 2008. Any further extensions would have to be agreed upon by the investors and the Company.

##### Table of Contents

Through March 6, 2008, the Company had received notices of event of default under
Reverse Repurchase Agreements from four different lenders as a result of the Companys failure to meet margin calls. The aggregate amount of borrowing outstanding with these lenders was $1.8 billion at March 6, 2008. The Company has
entered into a temporary syndicate agreement with its remaining reverse repurchase agreement counterparties which freezes additional margin calls through Monday, March 10, 2008, while it pursues solutions to its liquidity shortfall. The lenders
have no obligation to extend this agreement. The Companys Reverse Repurchase Agreements and secured lending agreements contain cross default provisions and the related lenders could declare an event of default at any time. Accordingly, the
respective lenders, at their discretion, may declare the aforementioned amounts due and payable on demand. The Companys liquidity and borrowing capacity is insufficient to satisfy these obligations, should the lenders demand repayment.

Adjusted Equity-to-Assets
Ratio means a ratio that reflects the relationship between assets financed with recourse debt that is subject to margin calls and our long-term capital. The ratio is a non-GAAP measurement that we have adopted and that the Board of Directors
has approved as an internal policy. Our policy requires us to maintain this ratio at a minimum of 8%, which represents approximately twice the initial margin requirement for our recourse debt.

Agency Securities means Purchased ARM Assets that are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Agent means American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TMAs transfer agent.

ARM means adjustable-rate and variable-rate mortgage, which signifies that adjustments of the

liabilities calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) OCI, (ii) goodwill and (iii) other intangibles, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each month during such period, adjusted
for equity sold during the period on a pro rata basis.

Average Net Worth means for any period
the average of the sum of the gross proceeds from any offering of our equity securities, before deducting any underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses and costs relating to the offering, plus our retained earnings (without taking

common shareholders by the average common shares outstanding during the period.

DRSPP means the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan adopted by TMA.
