BIMINI CAPITAL

MANAGEMENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

June 30,

2022

NOTE 1.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Description

Bimini Capital Management, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Bimini Capital”

or the “Company”) formed in September 2003, is a

holding company.

The Company operates in two business segments through its principal wholly-owned

operating subsidiary, Royal

Palm Capital LLC, which includes its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bimini Advisors Holdings, LLC.

Bimini Advisors Holdings, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bimini Advisors, LLC (an investment advisor registered

with the

Securities and Exchange Commission), are collectively referred to as "Bimini Advisors."

Bimini Advisors manages a residential

mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) portfolio for Orchid Island Capital, Inc.

("Orchid") and receives fees for providing these services.

Effective April 1, 2022, Bimini Advisors started providing certain repurchase agreement

trading, clearing and administrative services to

Orchid that were previously provided by a third party. Bimini Advisors also manages the MBS portfolio of Royal Palm Capital,

LLC.

Royal Palm Capital, LLC maintains an investment portfolio, consisting primarily

of MBS investments and shares of Orchid common

stock, for its own benefit. Royal Palm Capital, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries

are collectively referred to as "Royal Palm."

Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations are classified into two principal reportable segments: the asset

management segment and the

investment portfolio segment. These segments are evaluated by management in deciding

how to allocate resources and in assessing

performance.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the

Company’s accounting policies with the

exception that inter-segment revenues and expenses are included in the presentation

of segment results.

For further information see

Note 13.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bimini

Capital, Bimini Advisors and Royal Palm.

All

inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated

financial statements.

Basis of

Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

have been prepared in accordance with accounting

principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial

information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and

Article 8 of Regulation S-X.

Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete

financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring

accruals) considered necessary for

a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are

not necessarily

indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the

audited financial statements at that date but

does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for

complete consolidated financial statements.

For further

information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the

Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

ended December 31, 2021.

- 6 -

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 and disclosure of contingent assets

and liabilities at the date of the consolidated

financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during

the reporting period. Actual results could differ from

those estimates.

Significant estimates affecting the accompanying consolidated financial statements include

determining the fair

values of MBS and derivatives, the value of Orchid Common Stock, determining

the amounts of asset valuation allowances, and the

computation of the income tax provision or benefit and the deferred tax asset allowances

recorded for each accounting period.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is consolidated by an enterprise if it is deemed the

primary beneficiary of the VIE. Bimini Capital

has a common share investment in a trust used in connection with the issuance

of Bimini Capital's junior subordinated notes. See Note

7 for a description of the accounting used for this VIE.

The Company obtains interests in VIEs through its investments in mortgage-backed

securities.

The interests in these VIEs are

passive in nature and are not expected to result in the Company obtaining a controlling

financial interest in these VIEs in the future.

a result, the Company does not consolidate these VIEs and accounts for the interest

in these VIEs as mortgage-backed securities.

See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities.

The maximum exposure to

loss for these VIEs is the carrying value of the mortgage-backed securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and

cash equivalents

include

cash on deposit

with financial

institutions

and highly

liquid investments

with original

maturities

three months

or less at

Mortgage-Backed

Securities

The Company invests primarily in mortgage pass-through (“PT”) mortgage-backed

securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae

or Ginnie Mae (“MBS”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), interest-only

(“IO”) securities and inverse interest-only (“IIO”)

securities representing interest in or obligations backed by pools of mortgage-backed

loans. The Company refers to MBS and CMOs

as PT MBS. The Company refers

to IO and IIO securities as structured MBS. The Company has elected to

account for its investment in

MBS under the fair value option.

Electing the fair value option requires the Company to record changes

in fair value in the consolidated

statement of operations, which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of the Company’s operations for a

particular reporting period and is consistent with the underlying economics and

how the portfolio is managed.

The Company records MBS transactions on the trade date.

Security purchases that have not settled as of the balance sheet date

are included in the MBS balance with an offsetting liability recorded, whereas securities sold

that have not settled as of the balance

sheet date are removed from the MBS balance with an offsetting receivable recorded.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to

transfer the liability in an orderly transaction

between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell

the asset or

transfer the liability either occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, occurs

in the

most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Estimated fair values for MBS are based on independent pricing sources and/or

third-party broker quotes, when available.

Income on PT MBS is based on the stated interest rate of the security. Premiums or discounts present at the date of purchase

are

not amortized.

Premium lost and discount accretion resulting from monthly principal repayments

are reflected in unrealized gains and

losses on MBS in the consolidated statements of operations.

For IO securities,

the income

is accrued

based on

the carrying

value and

the effective

yield. The

difference

between income

accrued and

the interest

received on

the security

is characterized

as a return

investment

and serves

to reduce

the asset’s

carrying value.

At each reporting date, the effective yield is adjusted prospectively for future

reporting periods based on the new estimate of prepayments and the contractual

terms of the security.

For IIO securities, effective

yield and income recognition calculations also take into account the index

value applicable to the security.

Changes in fair value of

MBS during each reporting period are recorded in earnings and reported as

unrealized gains or losses on mortgage-backed securities

in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The amount reported as unrealized gains or losses on mortgage-backed

securities thus captures the net effect of changes in the fair market value of securities caused by market

developments and any

premium or discount lost as a result of principal repayments during the period.

Orchid Island Capital, Inc. Common Stock

The Company

accounts for

its investment

in Orchid

common shares

at fair value.

The change

in the fair

value and

dividends

received

Retained

Interests

in Securitizations

The Company

holds retained

interests

in the subordinated

tranches

of securities

created in

securitization

transactions.

These retained

interests

currently

have a recorded

fair value

of zero,

as the prospect

of future

being received

is uncertain.

Any cash

from the

retained

interests

is reflected

as a gain

in the consolidated

Derivative

Financial

Instruments

The Company

has historically

used derivative

instruments

to manage

interest

rate risk,

facilitate

asset/liability

strategies

and manage

other exposures,

and it may

continue

to do so

in the future.

The principal

instruments

that the

Company has

used are

Treasury Note

(“T-

Note”) and

Eurodollar

futures contracts,

and “to-be-announced”

(“TBA”) securities

transactions.

The Company

accounts for

TBA securities

as derivative

instruments.

Other types

of derivative

instruments

may be used

in the future.

Gains and

losses associated

with derivative

transactions

are reported

in gain (loss)

on derivative

instruments

in the accompanying

consolidated

statements

of operations.

During the

six and three

months ended

June 30,

2022,

the Company

only held

T-Note futures

contracts.

The Company

recorded

loss of approximately

50,000

on these

instruments

during both

the six and

three months

ended June

30, 2022.

Losses recorded

during

the six and

three months

ended June

30, 2021

were negligible.

Derivative

instruments

are carried

at fair value,

and changes

in fair

value are

recorded

in the consolidated

operations

for each

period.

The Company’s

derivative

financial

instruments

are not designated

as hedge

accounting

relationships,

but rather

are used

as economic

hedges of

its portfolio

assets and

liabilities.

Gains and

losses on

derivatives,

except those

that result

in cash receipts

or payments,

are

included in

operating

activities

on the statements

of cash flows.

Cash payments

and cash receipts

from settlement

of derivatives,

including

current period

net cash settlements

on interest

rate swaps,

are classified

as an investing

activity

on the statements

of cash flows.

Holding derivatives

creates exposure

to credit

risk related

to the potential

for failure

by counterparties

to honor

their commitments.

the event

of default

by a counterparty,

the Company

may have difficulty

recovering

its collateral

and may not

receive payments

provided

for under

the terms

of the agreement.

The Company’s

derivative

agreements

require it

to post or

receive collateral

to mitigate

such risk.

addition,

the Company

uses only

registered

central clearing

exchanges

and well-established

commercial

banks as

counterparties,

Financial

Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that

value is disclosed, either in the body of the

consolidated financial statements or in the accompanying notes. MBS,

Orchid common stock and derivative assets and liabilities are

accounted for at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The methods

and assumptions used to estimate fair value for these

instruments are presented in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements.

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued interest

receivable, other assets, repurchase

agreements, accrued interest payable and other liabilities generally approximates

their carrying value as of June 30, 2022 and

December 31, 2021, due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

It is impractical to estimate the fair value of the Company’s junior subordinated notes.

Currently, there is a limited market for these

types of instruments and the Company is unable to ascertain what interest rates would

be available to the Company for similar financial

instruments. Further information regarding these instruments is presented in

Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

Property

and Equipment,

net

Property and equipment, net, consists of computer equipment with a depreciable

life of 3 years, office furniture and equipment with

depreciable lives of 8 to 20 years, land which has no depreciable life, and our building and

its improvements with depreciable lives of

30 years.

Property and equipment is recorded at acquisition cost and depreciated to

their respective salvage values using the straight-

line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is included

in administrative and other expenses in the

consolidated statement of operations.

- 9 -

Repurchase

Agreements

The Company

finances the

acquisition

of the majority

of its PT

MBS through

the use of

repurchase

agreements

under master

repurchase

agreements.

Repurchase

agreements

are accounted

for as collateralized

financing

transactions,

which are

carried at

their

contractual

amounts,

including

accrued interest,

as specified

in the respective

agreements.

Earnings

Per Share

Basic EPS is calculated as income available to common stockholders divided

by the weighted average number of common shares

outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock or two-class

method, as applicable for common stock

equivalents. However, the common stock equivalents are not included in computing diluted EPS if the result

is anti-dilutive.

Outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, participating and convertible

into Class A Common Stock, are entitled to receive

dividends in an amount equal to the dividends declared, if any, on each share of Class A Common Stock.

Accordingly, shares of the

Class B Common Stock are included in the computation of basic EPS using

the two-class method and, consequently, are presented

separately from Class A Common Stock.

The shares of Class C Common Stock are not included in the basic EPS computation

as these shares do not have participation

rights. The outstanding shares of Class B and Class C Common Stock are

not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the Class

A Common Stock as the conditions for conversion into shares of Class A Common

Stock were not met.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax

assets and liabilities represent the differences

between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted

tax rates. The measurement of net

deferred tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance if, based on the Company’s evaluation, it

is more likely than not that they will

not be realized.

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for years ended on or after December 31,

2018 remain open for examination.

Although management believes its calculations for tax returns are correct and the positions

taken thereon are reasonable, the final

outcome of tax audits could be materially different from the tax returns filed by the Company, and those differences could result in

significant costs or benefits to the Company. For tax filing purposes, Bimini Capital and its includable subsidiaries, and Royal Palm

and

its includable subsidiaries, file as separate tax paying entities.

The Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that uncertain

tax positions will be sustained upon

examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the

end of each period.

The measurement of uncertain tax

positions is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs

that requires a change. The Company recognizes tax

positions in the consolidated financial statements only when it is more likely than

not that the position will be sustained upon

examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits

of the position. A position that meets this standard is

measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized upon

settlement. The difference between the benefit

recognized and the tax benefit claimed on a tax return is referred to as an unrecognized

tax benefit and is recorded as a liability in the

consolidated balance sheets. The Company records income tax-related interest and penalties,

if applicable, within the income tax

provision.

Recent Accounting

Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):

Facilitation

of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

.”

ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP

requirements for modifications on debt instruments, leases, derivatives, and other

contracts, related to the expected market transition

from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR,”),

and certain other floating rate benchmark indices, or collectively, IBORs, to

alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 generally considers contract modifications

related to reference rate reform to be an event that

does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment

of a previous accounting determination. The

guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time, through December

31, 2022, as reference rate reform activities

occur. The Company does

not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated

financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. ASU 2021-01 expands the scope of ASC

848 to include all affected derivatives and give market participants the ability to apply

certain aspects of the contract modification and

hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by the discounting transition. In addition,

ASU 2021-01 adds

implementation guidance to permit a company to apply certain optional expedients

to modifications of interest rate indexes used for

margining, discounting or contract price alignment of certain derivatives as a result

of reference rate reform initiatives and extends

optional expedients to account for a derivative contract modified as a continuation

of the existing contract and to continue hedge

accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change to

modifications made as part of the discounting transition. The

guidance in ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately and available generally through December

31, 2022, as reference rate reform

activities occur. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated

financial

statements.

NOTE 2. ADVISORY SERVICES

Bimini Advisors serves as the manager and advisor for Orchid pursuant to the

terms of a management agreement.

As Manager,

Bimini Advisors is responsible for administering Orchid's business activities and

day-to-day operations. Pursuant to the terms of the

management agreement, Bimini Advisors provides Orchid with its management

team, including its officers, along with appropriate

support personnel. Bimini Advisors is at all times subject to the supervision

and oversight of Orchid's board of directors and has only

such functions and authority as delegated to it. Bimini Advisors receives a monthly

management fee in the amount of:

●

One-twelfth of 1.50% of the first $250 million of Orchid’s month-end equity, as defined in the management agreement,

●

One-twelfth of 1.25% of Orchid’s month-end equity that is greater than $250 million

and less than or equal to $500 million, and

●

One-twelfth of 1.00% of Orchid’s month-end equity that is greater than $500 million.

On April 1, 2022, pursuant to the third amendment to the management agreement

entered into on November 16, 2021, the

Company began providing certain repurchase agreement trading, clearing and

administrative services to Orchid that had been

previously provided by AVM, L.P.

under an agreement terminated on March 31, 2022.

In consideration for such services, Orchid will

pay the following fees to the Company:

●

A daily fee equal to the outstanding principal balance of repurchase agreement funding

in place as of the end of such day

multiplied by 1.5 basis points for the amount of aggregate outstanding principal balance

less than or equal to $5 billion, and

multiplied by 1.0 basis point for any amount of aggregate outstanding principal

balance in excess of $5 billion,

and

●

A fee for the clearing and operational services provided by personnel

of the Manager equal to $10,000 per month.

- 11 -

Orchid is obligated to reimburse Bimini Advisors for any direct expenses incurred

on its behalf and to pay to Bimini Advisors an

amount equal to Orchid's pro rata portion of certain overhead costs set forth in

the management agreement. The management

agreement has been renewed through February 20, 2023

and provides for automatic one-year extension options thereafter. Should

Orchid terminate the management agreement without cause, it will be obligated

to pay Bimini Advisors a termination fee equal to three

times the average annual management fee, as defined in the management

agreement, before or on the last day of the automatic

renewal term.

Junior Subordinated Debt

During 2005,

Bimini Capital

sponsored

the formation

of a statutory

trust, known

as Bimini

Capital Trust

II (“BCTII”)

of which 100%

the common

equity is owned

by Bimini

Capital.

It was formed

for the purpose

of issuing

trust preferred

capital securities

to third-party

investors

and investing

the proceeds

from the

sale of such

capital securities

solely in

junior subordinated

debt securities

of Bimini

Capital.

The debt

securities

held by BCTII

are the sole

assets of

BCTII.

As of June

30, 2022

and December

31, 2021,

the outstanding

principal

balance on

the junior

subordinated

debt securities

owed to

BCTII was

26.8

million.

The BCTII

trust preferred

securities

and Bimini

Capital's

BCTII Junior

Subordinated

Notes have

a rate of

interest

that floats

at a spread

3.50

% over the

prevailing

three-month

LIBOR rate.

As of June

30, 2022,

the interest

rate was

5.33

%. The BCTII

trust preferred

securities

and Bimini

Capital's

BCTII Junior

Subordinated

Notes require

quarterly

interest

distributions

and are

redeemable

at Bimini

Capital's

option, in

whole or

in part and

without penalty.

Bimini Capital's

BCTII Junior

Subordinated

Notes are

subordinate

and

junior in

right of

payment to

all present

and future

senior indebtedness.

BCTII is

a VIE because

the holders

of the equity

investment

at risk do

not have

substantive

decision-making

ability over

BCTII’s

activities.

Since Bimini

Capital's

investment

in BCTII’s

common equity

securities

was financed

directly by

BCTII as

a result

of its loan

of the

proceeds

to Bimini

Capital,

that investment

is not considered

to be an

equity investment

at risk.

Since Bimini

Capital's

common share

investment

in BCTII

is not a variable

interest,

Bimini Capital

is not the

primary beneficiary

of BCTII.

Therefore,

Bimini Capital

has not

consolidated

the financial

statements

of BCTII

into its consolidated

financial

statements,

and this

investment

is accounted

for on the

equity

method.

The accompanying

consolidated

financial

statements

Bimini Capital's

Notes issued

to BCTII

Capital's

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various

claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of

business.

April 22, 2020

, the Company received a demand for payment from Citigroup, Inc. in the

amount of $

33.1

million related to the

indemnification provisions of various mortgage loan purchase agreements (“MLPA’s”) entered into between Citigroup Global Markets

Realty Corp and Royal Palm Capital, LLC (f/k/a Opteum Financial Services,

LLC) prior to the date Royal Palm’s mortgage origination

operations ceased in 2007. In November 2021, Citigroup notified the Company

of additional indemnity claims totaling $

0.2

million. The

demands are based on Royal Palm’s alleged breaches of certain representations and warranties

in the related MLPA’s.

The Company

believes the demands are without merit and intends to defend against the demands

vigorously.

No provision or accrual has been

recorded related to the Citigroup demands.

- 16 -

Management is not aware of any other significant reported or unreported contingencies

at June 30, 2022.

NOTE 10.

INCOME TAXES

The total income tax (benefit) provision recorded for the six months ended June

30, 2022 and 2021 was $

(1.3)

million and $

0.2

million, respectively, on consolidated pre-tax book (loss) income of $

(6.0)

million and $

0.5

million in the six months ended June 30,

2022 and 2021, respectively.

The total income tax (benefit) provision recorded for the three months ended June

30, 2022 and 2021

was $(

0.1

) million and $(

0.3

) million, respectively, on consolidated pre-tax book loss of $(

1.3

) million and $(

1.2

) million in the three

months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company’s tax provision is based on a projected effective rate based on annualized amounts applied to

actual income to date

and includes the expected realization of a portion of the tax benefits of federal

and state net operating losses carryforwards (“NOLs”).

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether

it is more likely than not that some portion or all of

the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of capital

loss and NOL carryforwards is dependent upon the

generation of future capital gains and taxable income in periods prior to their expiration. The

Company currently provides a valuation

allowance against a portion of the NOLs since the Company believes that it is more likely

than not that some of the benefits will not be

realized in the future. The Company will continue to assess the need for a valuation

allowance at each reporting date.

NOTE 12.

FAIR VALUE

Fair value

is the price

that would

be received

to sell an

asset or

paid to transfer

a liability

(an exit

price). A

fair value

measure should

reflect the

assumptions

that market

participants

would use

in pricing

the asset

or liability, including

the assumptions

about the

risk inherent

in a particular

valuation

technique,

the effect

of a restriction

on the sale

or use of

an asset and

the risk of

non-performance.

Required

disclosures

include stratification

of balance

sheet amounts

measured

at fair value

based on

inputs the

Company uses

to derive

fair value

measurements.

These stratifications

are:

●

Level 1 valuations,

where the

valuation

is based on

quoted market

prices for

identical

assets or

liabilities

traded in

active markets

(which include

exchanges

and over-the-counter

markets with

sufficient

volume),

●

Level 2 valuations,

where the

valuation

is based on

quoted market

prices for

similar instruments

traded in

active markets,

quoted

prices for

identical

or similar

instruments

in markets

that are

not active

and model-based

valuation

techniques

for which

all

significant

assumptions

are observable

in the market,

and

●

Level 3 valuations,

where the

valuation

is generated

from model-based

techniques

that use

significant

assumptions

not

observable

in the market,

but observable

based on Company-specific

data. These

unobservable

assumptions

reflect the

Company’s own

estimates

for assumptions

that market

participants

would use

in pricing

the asset

or liability. Valuation

techniques

typically

include option

pricing models,

discounted

cash flow

models and

similar techniques,

but may also

include

the

use of market

prices of

assets or

liabilities

that are

not directly

comparable

to the subject

asset or

liability.

MBS, Orchid

common stock,

retained

interests

and TBA

securities

were all

recorded at

fair value

on a recurring

basis during

the six

and three

months ended

June 30,

2022 and

2021. When

determining

fair value

measurements,

the Company

considers

the principal

most advantageous

market in

which it

would transact

and considers

assumptions

that market

participants

would use

when pricing

the

asset. When

possible,

the Company

looks to active

and observable

markets to

price identical

assets.

When identical

assets are

not traded

in active

markets, the

Company

looks to market

observable

data for

similar assets.

Fair value

measurements

for the retained

interests

are

generated

by a model

that requires

management

to make a

significant

number of

assumptions,

and this model

resulted

in a value

of zero

at both June

30, 2022

and December

31, 2021.

- 18 -

The Company's

MBS and TBA

securities

are valued

using Level

2 valuations,

and such valuations

currently

are determined

by the

Company based

on independent

pricing sources

and/or third

party broker

quotes. Because

the price

estimates

may vary, the

Company

must make

certain judgments

and assumptions

about the

appropriate

price to

use to calculate

the fair

values. The

Company and

the

independent

pricing sources

use various

valuation

techniques

to determine

the price

of the Company’s

securities.

These techniques

include observing

the most

recent market

for like or

identical

assets (including

security

coupon,

maturity, yield,

and prepayment

speeds),

spread pricing

techniques

to determine

market credit

spreads (option

adjusted spread,

zero volatility

spread, spread

to the U.S.

Treasury

curve or

spread to

a benchmark

such as a

TBA security),

and model

driven approaches

(the discounted

cash flow

method,

Black Scholes

and SABR

models which

rely upon

observable

market rates

such as the

term structure

of interest

rates and

volatility).

The appropriate

spread pricing

method used

is based

on market

convention.

The pricing

source determines

the spread

of recently

observed

trade activity

or observable

markets for

assets similar

to those

being priced.

The spread

is then adjusted

based on

variances

in certain

characteristics

between the

market observation

and the asset

being priced.

Those characteristics

include:

type of

asset, the

expected life

of the asset,

the

stability

and predictability

of the expected

future cash

flows of

the asset,

whether

the coupon

of the asset

is fixed or

adjustable,

the

guarantor

of the security

if applicable,

the coupon,

the maturity,

the issuer, size

of the underlying

loans, year

in which

the underlying

loans

were originated,

loan to value

ratio, state

in which

the underlying

loans reside,

credit score

of the underlying

borrowers

and other

variables

if appropriate.

The fair

value of the

security is

determined

by using

the adjusted

spread.

The Company’s

futures contracts

are Level

1 valuations,

as they are

exchange-traded

instruments

and quoted

market prices

are

readily available.

Futures contracts

are settled

daily. The Company’s

interest

rate swaps

and interest

rate swaptions

are Level 2

valuations.

The fair

value of interest

rate swaps

is determined

using a discounted

cash flow

approach

using forward

market interest

rates

and discount

rates, which

are observable

inputs. The

fair value

of interest

rate swaptions

is determined

using an option

pricing model.

The following

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S

DISCUSSION

AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should

be read in conjunction with the consolidated

financial statements and notes to those statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

The discussion may contain certain forward-

looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements

are those that are not historical in nature. As a

result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our

most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our actual results

may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Overview

Bimini Capital Management, Inc. ("Bimini Capital" or the "Company") is a holding

company that was formed in September 2003.

The Company’s principal wholly-owned operating subsidiary is Royal Palm Capital,

LLC. We operate in two business segments: the

asset management segment, which includes (a) the investment advisory services provided

by Royal Palm’s wholly-owned subsidiary,

Bimini Advisors Holdings, LLC, to Orchid, and (b) the investment portfolio segment, which

includes the investment activities conducted

by Royal Palm.

Bimini Advisors Holdings, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bimini Advisors, LLC (an investment advisor registered

with the

Securities and Exchange Commission), are collectively referred to as

“Bimini Advisors.”

Bimini Advisors serves as the external

manager of the portfolio of Orchid Island Capital, Inc. ("Orchid"). From this arrangement,

the Company receives management fees and

expense reimbursements.

As manager, Bimini Advisors is responsible for administering Orchid's business activities and

day-to-day

operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, Bimini Advisors

provides Orchid with its management team,

including its officers, along with appropriate support personnel. Bimini Advisors is at all times

subject to the supervision and oversight of

Orchid's board of directors and has only such functions and authority as delegated to

it.

Effective April 1, 2022, Bimini Advisors started providing certain repurchase agreement

trading, clearing and administrative

services to Orchid that were previously provided by a third party. The Company received additional fees for providing such services.

Royal Palm Capital, LLC (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries

referred to as “Royal Palm”) maintains an investment

portfolio, consisting primarily of residential mortgage-backed securities ("MBS")

issued and guaranteed by a federally chartered

corporation or agency ("Agency MBS"). We also invest in the common stock of Orchid. Our investment

strategy focuses on, and our

portfolio consists of, two categories of Agency MBS: (i) traditional pass-through Agency

MBS, such as mortgage pass-through

certificates issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae (the “GSEs”)

and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued

by the GSEs (“PT MBS”) and (ii) structured Agency MBS, such as interest only

securities ("IOs"), inverse interest only securities

("IIOs") and principal only securities ("POs"), among other types of

structured Agency MBS. In addition, Royal Palm receives dividends

from its investment in Orchid common shares.

Stock Repurchase

Plan

On September

16, 2021,

the Board

authorized

a share repurchase

plan pursuant

to Rule 10b5-1

of the Securities

Exchange

Act of

1934 (the

“2021 Repurchase

Plan”). Pursuant

to the 2021

Repurchase

Plan, we

may purchase

shares of

our Class

A Common

Stock from

time to time

for an aggregate

purchase price

not to exceed

$2.5 million.

Share repurchases

may be executed

through various

means,

including,

without limitation,

open market

transactions.

The 2021

Repurchase

Plan does

not obligate

the Company

to purchase

any

shares, and

it expires

on September

16, 2023.

The authorization

for the 2021

Repurchase

Plan may be

terminated,

increased

decreased

by the Company’s

Board of

Directors

in its discretion

at any time.

From the

commencement

of the 2021

Repurchase

Plan,

through June

30, 2022,

we repurchased

a total of

321,702 shares

at an aggregate

cost of approximately

$0.6 million,

including

commissions

and fees,

for a weighted

average price

of $2.00

per share.

During the

six months

ended June

30, 2022,

the Company

repurchased

a total of

229,415 shares

at an aggregate

cost of approximately

$0.5 million,

including

commissions

and fees,

for a weighted

average price

of $1.96

per share.

- 23 -

Subsequent

to June 30,

2022, the

Company repurchased

a total of

219,022 shares

at an aggregate

cost of approximately

$0.4

million, including

commissions

and fees,

for a weighted

average price

of $1.61

per share.

Factors that Affect our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

A variety of industry and economic factors (in addition to those related to the COVID-19

pandemic) may impact our results of

operations and financial condition. These factors include:

●

interest rate trends;

●

the difference between Agency MBS yields and our funding and hedging costs;

●

competition for, and supply of, investments in Agency MBS;

●

actions taken by the U.S. government, including the presidential administration,

the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), the

Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”), the Federal Housing Finance

Agency (the “FHFA”) and the U.S. Treasury;

●

prepayment rates on mortgages underlying our Agency MBS, and credit trends

insofar as they affect prepayment

rates;

●

the equity markets and the ability of Orchid to raise additional capital;

●

geo-political events that affect the U.S. and international economies, such as the ongoing crisis in Ukraine; and

●

other market developments.

In addition, a variety of factors relating to our business may also impact our results

of operations and financial condition. These

factors include:

●

our degree of leverage;

●

our access to funding and borrowing capacity;

●

our borrowing costs;

●

our hedging activities;

●

the market value of our investments;

●

the requirements to qualify for a registration exemption under the Investment Company Act;

●

our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and net capital loss carryforwards

to reduce our taxable income;

●

the impact of possible future changes in tax laws or tax rates;

●

increases in our cost of funds resulting from increases in the Fed Funds rate that

are controlled by the Fed which have

occurred, and are likely to continue to occur, in 2022; and

●

our ability to manage the portfolio of Orchid and maintain our role as manager.

GAAP and

Reconciliation

Economic Interest Expense and Economic Net Interest Income

We use derivative instruments, specifically Eurodollar and Treasury Note (“T-Note”) futures contracts and TBA short positions to

hedge a portion of the interest rate risk on repurchase agreements in a rising

rate environment.

We have not designated our derivative financial instruments as hedge accounting relationships,

but rather hold them for

economic hedging purposes. Changes in fair value of these instruments are presented

in a separate line item in our consolidated

statements of operations and not included in interest expense. As such, for financial reporting

purposes, interest expense and cost of

funds are not impacted by the fluctuation in value of the derivative instruments.

For the purpose of computing economic net interest income and ratios relating

to cost of funds measures, GAAP interest

expense, as reflected in our consolidated statements of operations, is

adjusted to reflect the realized and unrealized gains or losses on

certain derivative instruments the Company uses that pertain to each period presented.

We believe that adjusting our GAAP interest

expense for the periods presented by the gains or losses on these derivative

instruments may not accurately reflect our economic

interest expense for these periods. The reason is that these derivative instruments

may cover periods that extend into the future, not

just the current period.

Any realized or unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments reflect

the change in market value of

the instrument caused by changes in underlying interest rates applicable to

the term covered by the instrument, which changes are

reflective of the future periods covered by the derivative instrument, not just

the current period.

For each period presented, we have combined the effects of the derivative financial instruments

in place for the respective period

with the actual interest expense incurred on borrowings to reflect total economic

interest expense for the applicable period. Interest

expense, including the effect of derivative instruments for the period, is referred to as economic interest

expense. Net interest income,

when calculated to include the effect of derivative instruments for the period, is referred to

as economic net interest income. This

presentation includes gains or losses on all contracts in effect during the reporting period,

covering the current period as well as

periods in the future.

- 25 -

We believe that economic interest expense and economic net interest income provide

meaningful information to consider, in

addition to the respective amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures help management to evaluate its

financial position and performance without the effects of certain transactions and GAAP

adjustments that are not necessarily indicative

of our current investment portfolio or operations. The unrealized gains or losses

on derivative instruments presented in our

consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily representative

of the total interest expense that we will ultimately realize.

This is because as interest rates move up or down in the future, the gains

or losses we ultimately realize, and which will affect our total

interest expense in future periods, may differ from the unrealized gains or losses recognized

as of the reporting date.

Our presentation of the economic value of our hedging strategy has important

limitations. First, other market participants may

calculate economic interest expense and economic net interest income

differently than the way we calculate them. Second, while we

believe that the calculation of the economic value of our hedging strategy described

above helps to present our financial position and

performance, it may be of limited usefulness as an analytical tool. Therefore, the

economic value of our investment strategy should not

be viewed in isolation and is not a substitute for interest expense and net

interest income computed in accordance with GAAP.

The tables below present a reconciliation of the adjustments discussed

above to interest expense shown for each period relative

to our derivative instruments, and the consolidated statements of operations

line item, gains (losses) on derivative instruments,

calculated in accordance with GAAP for each quarter in 2022 and 2021.

We receive a monthly management fee in the amount of:

One-twelfth of 1.50% of the first $250 million of Orchid’s month-end equity, as defined in the management agreement,

●

One-twelfth of 1.25% of Orchid’s month-end equity that is greater than $250 million

and less than or equal to $500 million, and

●

One-twelfth of 1.00% of Orchid’s month-end equity that is greater than $500 million.

On April 1, 2022, pursuant to the third amendment to the management agreement

entered into on November 16, 2021, the

Company began providing certain repurchase agreement trading, clearing and

administrative services to Orchid that had been

previously provided by AVM, L.P.

under an agreement terminated on March 31, 2022.

In consideration for such services, Orchid pays

the following fees to the Company:

●

A daily fee equal to the outstanding principal balance of repurchase agreement funding

in place as of the end of such day

multiplied by 1.5 basis points for the amount of aggregate outstanding principal balance

less than or equal to $5 billion, and

multiplied by 1.0 basis point for any amount of aggregate outstanding principal

balance in excess of $5 billion, and

●

A fee for the clearing and operational services provided by personnel

of the Manager equal to $10,000 per month.

In addition, Orchid is obligated to reimburse us for any direct expenses

incurred on its behalf and to pay to us an amount equal to

Orchid's pro rata portion of certain overhead costs set forth in the management

agreement. The management agreement has been

renewed through February 2023 and provides for automatic one-year extension

options. Should Orchid terminate the management

agreement without cause, it will be obligated to pay to us a termination fee

equal to three times the average annual management fee,

as defined in the management agreement, before or on the last day of the automatic renewal

term.

Investment Portfolio Segment

Net Portfolio Interest Income

We define

net portfolio

interest

income as

interest

income on

MBS less

interest

expense on

repurchase

agreement

funding.

During the

six months

ended June

30, 2022,

we generated

$0.8 million

of net

portfolio

interest

income,

consisting

of $0.9

million

of interest

income from

MBS assets

offset by

$0.1 million

of interest

expense on

repurchase liabilities.

For the

comparable period ended

June 30,

2021, we

generated

$1.1 million

of net portfolio

interest

income, consisting

of $1.2 million

of interest

income from

MBS assets

offset by

$0.1 million

interest expense

on repurchase

liabilities.

The $0.3 million

decrease

in interest

income for

the six months

ended June

30, 2022

was due to

a $17.8 million

decrease in

average MBS

balances,

combined with

a 1 basis point

("bp") decrease

in yields earned

on the portfolio.

There

was a $33,000 increase in interest

expense for the six months

ended June 30, 2022 that was due to a $19.3 million

decrease in average

repurchase

liabilities

that was

partially

offset by a

20 bp increase

in cost of

funds.

Our economic interest

expense on repurchase

liabilities for the

six months ended June 30,

2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million

and $1.5

million, respectively,

resulting

in $0.4

million and

($0.3) million

of economic

net portfolio

interest

income (expense),

respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we

generated approximately

$319,000 of net portfolio interest income, consisting of

approximately

$392,000 of interest

income from MBS

assets offset

by approximately

$73,000 of interest

expense on repurchase

liabilities.

For

the

three

months

ended

June

30,

2021,

generated

approximately $547,000

net

consisting

approximately

$578,000

Interest Expense on Repurchase Agreements and the Cost of Funds

Our average

outstanding

balances

under repurchase

agreements

were $51.4

million and

$70.7 million,

generating

interest expense

$104,000 and $71,000

for the six months ended

June 30, 2022 and

2021, respectively.

Our average

cost of funds was

0.40% and 0.20%

for six months ended

June 30, 2022 and

2021,

respectively.

There was a 20 bp increase

in the average cost

of funds and a $19.3 million

decrease in average

outstanding

repurchase

agreements

during the six months

ended June 30, 2022,

compared to the six months

ended

June 30,

2021.

Our economic

interest

expense

was $0.5

million

and $1.5

million

for the

six months

ended June

and 2021,

respectively.

There

was a 236 bp decrease in the average economic cost of funds to 1.85% for the six

months ended June 30, 2022 from 4.21% for the six

months ended June 30,

2021.

The $1.0 million decrease

in economic interest

expense was due to the

$19.3 million decrease

in average

outstanding repurchase

agreements,

combined with the 236 bp decrease economic cost of funds during the six months ended June 30,

2022.

Our average

outstanding

balances

under repurchase

agreements

were $45.9

million and

$72.2 million,

generating

interest expense

approximately

$73,000

and 31,000

Our average

cost of

funds

was 0.63%

and 0.17%

for three

months

ended

June 30,

2022 and

2021, respectively.

There was

a 46

bp increase

in the

average

cost of

funds, partially

offset by

a $26.4

million

decrease

in average

outstanding

repurchase

Our economic interest expense

was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

There was a 184 bp decrease

for the three months ended

June 30, 2022 from 4.09%

for

the three

months ended

June 30,

Because all of

our repurchase agreements are short-term, changes in market rates

have a

more immediate impact on our

interest

expense.

Our average

calculated

on a GAAP

basis was

30 bps below

the average

one-month

Effective duration is the approximate percentage change in price

for a 100 basis point change in rates.

An effective duration of 3.909 indicates

that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.909% decrease in the

value of the MBS in our investment portfolio at

June 30, 2022.

An effective duration of 2.103 indicates that an interest rate increase

of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 2.103% decrease

in the value of the MBS in our investment portfolio at December 31, 2021.

These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio but do

include the effect of our hedges. Effective duration quotes for

individual investments are obtained from The Yield

Our portfolio

of PT MBS

is typically

comprised

of adjustable-rate

MBS, fixed-rate

MBS and hybrid

adjustable-rate

MBS. We generally

seek to acquire

low duration

assets that

offer high

levels of

protection

from mortgage

prepayments

provided

that they

are reasonably

priced by

the market.

The stated

contractual

final maturity

of the mortgage

loans underlying

our portfolio

of PT MBS

generally ranges

to 30 years.

However, the

effect of prepayments

of the underlying

mortgage

loans tends

to shorten

the resulting

cash flows

from our

investments

substantially.

Prepayments

occur for

various reasons,

including

refinancing

of underlying

mortgages,

loan payoffs

connection

with home

sales, and

borrowers

paying more

than their

scheduled

loan payments,

which accelerates

the amortization

of the

loans.

The duration

of our IO

and IIO portfolio

will vary

greatly depending

on the structural

features

of the securities.

While prepayment

activity will

always affect

the cash

flows associated

with the

securities,

the interest

only nature

of IO’s may

cause their

durations

to become

extremely

negative when

prepayments

are high,

and less negative

when prepayments

are low. Prepayments

affect the

duration

of IIO’s

similarly, but the

floating rate

nature of

the coupon

of IIOs (which

is inversely

related to

the level

of one month

LIBOR) causes

their price

movements

- and model

duration

- to be affected

by changes

in both

prepayments

and one month

LIBOR - both

current and

anticipated

levels.

As a result,

the duration

of IIO securities

will also

vary greatly.

- 36 -

Prepayments

on the loans

underlying

our MBS

can alter

the timing

of the cash

flows received

by us. As

a result,

we gauge

the interest

rate sensitivity

of its assets

by measuring

their effective

duration.

While modified

duration measures

the price

sensitivity

of a bond

movements

in interest

rates, effective

duration

captures

both the

movement in

interest

rates and

the fact

that cash

flows to a

mortgage

related security

are altered

when interest

rates move.

Accordingly, when

the contract

interest

rate on a

mortgage

loan is substantially

above prevailing

interest

rates in

the market,

the effective

duration

of securities

collateralized

by such loans

can be quite

low because

expected prepayments.

We face the

risk that

the market

value of our

PT MBS assets

will increase

or decrease

at different

rates than

that of our

structured

MBS or liabilities,

including

our hedging

instruments.

Accordingly, we

assess our

interest

rate risk

by estimating

the duration

of our assets

and the duration

of our liabilities.

We generally

calculate

duration

and effective

duration

using various

third-party

models or

obtain these

quotes from

third parties.

However, empirical

results and

various third-party

models may

produce

different duration

numbers for

the same

securities.

The following

sensitivity

analysis

shows the

estimated

impact on

the fair

interest

rate-sensitive

investments

and hedge

positions

Repurchase Agreements

As of June

30, 2022,

we had established

borrowing

facilities

in the repurchase

agreement

market with

a number

of commercial

banks

and other

financial

institutions

and had borrowings

in place with

four of these

counterparties.

We believe

these facilities

provide

borrowing

capacity in

excess of

our needs.

None of these

lenders are

affiliated with

us.

These

borrowings

are secured

by our MBS.

- 37 -

As of June

30, 2022,

we had obligations

outstanding

under the

repurchase

agreements

of approximately

$36.9 million

with a net

weighted

average borrowing

cost of 1.34%.

The remaining

maturity of

our outstanding

repurchase

agreement

obligations

ranged from

to 40 days,

with a weighted

average maturity

of 26 days.

Securing

the repurchase

as of June

are MBS with

an estimated

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

is our ability

to turn non-cash

assets into

cash, purchase

additional

investments,

repay principal

and interest

on borrowings,

fund overhead

and fulfill

margin calls.

We have both

internal

and external

sources of

liquidity. However,

our material

unused sources

liquidity

include cash

balances,

unencumbered

assets and

our ability

to sell encumbered

assets to

raise cash.

Our balance

sheet also

generates

liquidity

on an on-going

basis through

payments of

principal

and interest

we receive

on our MBS

portfolio

and dividends

receive on

our investment

in Orchid

common stock.

Internal

Sources of

Liquidity

Our internal

sources of

liquidity

include our

cash balances,

unencumbered

assets and

our ability

to liquidate

our encumbered

security

holdings.

Our balance

sheet also

generated

liquidity

on an ongoing

basis through

payments

of principal

and interest

we receive

on our

MBS portfolio

and dividends

we receive

on our investment

in Orchid

common stock.

We have previously,

and may

again in the

future, employ

a hedging

strategy

that typically

involves

taking short

positions

in Eurodollar

futures,

T-Note futures,

TBAs or other

instruments.

When the

market causes

these short

positions

to decline

in value we

are required

meet margin

calls with

cash.

This can

reduce our

liquidity

position

to the extent

other securities

in our portfolio

move in price

in such a

way

that we do

not receive

enough cash

through margin

calls to offset

the Eurodollar

related margin

calls. If

this were

to occur in

sufficient

magnitude,

the loss of

liquidity

might force

us to reduce

the size

of the levered

portfolio,

pledge additional

structured

securities

to raise

funds or

risk operating

the portfolio

with less

liquidity.

- 38 -

External

Sources of

Liquidity

Our primary

external

sources of

liquidity

are our ability

to (i) borrow

under master

repurchase

agreements

and (ii)

use the TBA

security

market. Our

borrowing

capacity will

vary over

time as the

market value

of our interest

earning assets

varies. Our

master repurchase

agreements

have no stated

expiration,

but can be

terminated

at any time

at our option

or at the

option of

the counterparty.

However, once

a definitive

repurchase

agreement

under a master

repurchase

agreement

has been

entered into,

it generally

may not be

terminated

either party.

A negotiated

termination

can occur, but

may involve

a fee to

be paid by

the party

seeking to

terminate

the repurchase

agreement

transaction.

Under our

repurchase

agreement

funding arrangements,

we are required

to post margin

at the initiation

of the borrowing.

The margin

posted represents

the haircut,

which is a

percentage

of the market

value of the

collateral

pledged.

To the extent the

market value

of the

asset collateralizing

the financing

transaction

declines,

the market

value of our

posted margin

will be insufficient

and we will

be required

post additional

collateral.

Conversely, if

the market

value of the

asset pledged

increases

in value,

we would

be over collateralized

and we

would be

entitled to

have excess

margin returned

to us by the

counterparty.

Our lenders

typically

value our

pledged securities

daily to

ensure the

adequacy of

our margin

and make margin

calls as

needed, as

do we.

Typically, but not

always, the

parties agree

to a minimum

threshold

amount for

margin calls

so as to avoid

the need

for nuisance

margin calls

on a daily

basis. Our

master repurchase

agreements

do not specify

the haircut;

rather haircuts

are determined

on an individual

repurchase

transaction

basis.

As discussed

above, we

invest a

portion of

our capital

in structured

MBS.

We generally

do not apply

leverage

to this portion

of our

portfolio.

The leverage

inherent

in structured

securities

replaces

the leverage

obtained

by acquiring

PT securities

and funding

them in the

repurchase

market.

This structured

MBS strategy

has been

a core element

of the Company’s

overall investment

strategy

since 2008.

However, we

have and

may continue

to pledge

a portion

of our structured

MBS in order

to raise our

cash levels,

but generally

will not

pledge these

securities

in order

to acquire

additional

assets.

In future

periods we

expect to

continue to

finance our

activities

through repurchase

agreements.

As of June

30, 2022,

we had cash

and cash equivalents

of $5.6 million.

We generated

cash flows

of $6.0 million

from principal

and interest

payments on

our MBS

portfolio

and had average

repurchase

agreements

outstanding

of $51.4

million during

the six months

ended June

30, 2022.

In addition,

during the

six months

ended June

30, 2022,

we received

approximately

$6.3 million

in management

fees and

expense reimbursements

as manager

of Orchid

and approximately

$0.8 million

in dividends

from our investment

in Orchid

common stock.

Outlook

Orchid Island

Capital Inc.

Orchid Island

Capital reported

a second quarter

2022 loss

of $60.1

million and

its shareholders

equity declined

from $592.4

million to

$506.4 million.

The market

conditions

described

below led

to the loss

as agency

MBS underperformed

comparable

duration

treasuries

and the Orchid’s

hedge positions.

The decline

in shareholders

equity is

likely to

lead to reduced

management

fees at Bimini

Advisors

going forward

if Orchid

is unable

to rebuild

its shareholders

equity since

the amount

of the management

fees paid

to the Company

are a

function of

Orchid’s equity.

Orchid also

reduced its

monthly dividend

twice during

the first

quarter from

$0.065 per

month to $0.045

per

month.

The reduction

in the dividend

decreased

the monthly

dividend revenues

to the Company.

Orchid is

obligated

to reimburse

us for direct

expenses paid

on its behalf

and to pay

to us Orchid’s

pro rata

share of

overhead as

defined in

the management

agreement.

As a stockholder

of Orchid,

we will also

continue to

share in

distributions,

if any, paid by

Orchid to

its stockholders.

Our operating

results are

also impacted

by changes

in the market

value of our

holdings of

Orchid common

shares,

although

these market

value changes

do not impact

our cash

flows from

Orchid.

Economic Summary

The second

quarter of

2022 was

another transitional

period as

the outlook

for the economy,

inflation

and monetary

policy changed

materially.

Inflationary

data was

the driver

of these

developments.

Inflation

in the U.S.

began to accelerate

during the

second quarter

2021.

For several

months market

participants,

and especially

the Fed,

assumed that

inflation

would prove

transitory

as it was

assumed

temporary

supply chain

constraints

caused by

COVID-19

were the cause

and that

these constraints

would fade

as the effects

of COVID-19

itself declined

over time.

The sub-components

of inflation

exhibiting

the largest

increases

were items

likely to

be affected

by the effects

COVID-19

on the supply

of labor, or lack

thereof in

this case.

By early

in the fourth

quarter of

2021 the

Fed formally

dropped their

contention

that inflation

was “transitory.”

The Fed quickly

pivoted from

providing

monetary

policy accommodation

to constraining

inflation

and reducing

their balance

sheet.

The war

in the Ukraine,

which started

in late February

of 2022,

exacerbated

the inflationary

forces.

the beginning

of the second

quarter

market participants

expected

year-over-year

inflation

readings

to moderate

as baseline

effects would

kick in, since

inflation

had surged

starting

in the second

quarter of

2021.

This did not

happen, and

the monthly

core consumer

price index

(“CPI”) readings

for May and

June of 2022

were quite

high – 0.6%

and 0.7%

respectively

– after

a 0.6% increase

for April

of 2022.

Inflation

was accelerating

during the

second quarter,

not moderating,

and becoming

broader based.

Further, survey-based

measures of

inflation

expectations

were rising

rapidly. The most

recent measures

of inflation

are the highest

in four decades.

While several

important

metrics of

economic activity

remain very

strong, particularly

hiring in

the labor

market and

the unemployment

rate, other

measures have

softened.

In particular,

interest

rate sensitive

sectors of

the economy, such

as the housing

market and

large

consumer goods

such as sales

of cars and

light trucks,

have declined

from peak

levels seen

earlier in

the year. The

stock markets

in the

U.S. and

abroad have

declined materially

so far in

2022 and

most broad

equity indices

are down

between 10%

and 30% year

to date in

U.S. dollar

terms.

With the

Fed in the

midst of an

accelerated

tightening

cycle the

dollar has

strengthened

against most

major currencies,

such as the

Euro, Yen, Yuan and

most emerging

market currencies.

Interest

Rates

With inflation

accelerating

to the highest

level since

the early

1980s and

the Fed intent

on taking

the Fed Funds

rate to levels

well

above their

presumptive

“neutral”

rate of 2.50%

to 2.75%,

interest rates

increased

further during

the second

quarter.

The yield on

the 10-

year U.S.

Treasury Note

came within

a few basis

points of

3.50% on

June 14,

2022, a few

days after

the May CPI

was released.

That

same day, the yield

on the 2-year

U.S. Treasury

Note reached

3.43%.

Yields on both

benchmark

treasuries

declined modestly

over the

balance of

the quarter

and into

the third

quarter of

2022.

The Fed reacted

quickly as

these developments

unfolded

and raised

the Fed Funds

rate by 50

basis points

on May 4,

2022, and

basis points

on June 15,

2022.

The Fed raised

the Fed Funds

rate by another

75 basis points

on July 27,

2022.

The market

expects the

Fed to continue

to raise

rates at

each remaining

meeting in

2022 and

for the Fed

Funds rate

to end the

year with

a target

range of 3.5%

3.75%.

This range

is clearly

above the

Fed’s long-term

neutral rate

– deemed

to be between

2.50% and

2.75%.

The Fed has

also

acknowledged

their efforts

to bring

inflation

under control

and taking

the Fed Funds

rate above

neutral may

cause the

economy to

enter a

recession.

They deem

these steps

as necessary

to prevent

inflation

from remaining

higher than

the Fed’s target

rate of inflation.

- 40 -

This rapid

transition

from accommodation

to the extreme

removal of

policy accommodation

– to the

point of

a restrictive

policy stance

– has materially

changed the

outlook for

the economy.

The Fed’s policy

actions have

also been

matched by

most central

banks across

the globe,

and most

market participants

expect a global

recession

within a

year or so.

In the U.S.,

market participants

feel the Fed

will

succeed in

reducing

inflation,

albeit at

the cost of

a recession,

and as a

result the

U.S. Treasury

yield curve

has inverted.

Current

market

pricing in

the Fed Funds

futures market

indicate the

market expects

the Fed to

be cutting

rates as

early as the

first quarter

of 2023.

Accordingly, the

yield on the

2-year U.S.

Treasury Note

now exceeds

the yield

on the 10-year

U.S. Treasury

Note. Incoming

economic

data during

the second

quarter and

early third

quarter has

exacerbated

the yield

curve inversion.

It appears

the economy

is slowing

even

quicker than

feared, but

with inflation

so high it

does not

appear that

the Fed will

stop tightening.

Such conditions,

should they

persist, are

likely to

keep shorter

maturity

U.S. Treasuries

high – reflecting

increases

to the Fed

Funds rate

over the

near term

– relative

to longer

rates, which

reflect market

expectations

for inflation

to ultimately

be contained,

the economy

to slow and

the Fed to

eventually

lower the

Fed Funds

rate.

The Agency

MBS Market

The Agency

MBS market

generated

a negative

return of

3.9 % during

the second

quarter of

2022.

As interest

rates rose,

the

prospect

of the Fed

raising the

Fed Funds

rate well

above 3%

by year end

and the largest

MBS investors

selling or

decreasing

their

exposure

to the sector,

Agency MBS

spreads relative

to benchmark

interest

rates increased

to levels

just below

those observed

in March

of 2020.

The largest

investors

of Agency

MBS,

the Fed via

quantitative

easing (which

is now quantitative

tightening

as the Fed

allows their

holdings of

Agency MBS

to run-off),

large domestic

banks (which

due to quantitative

tightening

are experiencing

declines in

reserves/deposits)

and large

money managers

(which see

other sectors

of the fixed

income markets

as more attractive

or are experiencing

out-flows

in their

assets under

management

and selling

assets across

all of their

holdings),

are collectively

causing demand

for Agency

MBS to decline

materially

and driving

the spread

widening.

The relative

performance

across the

Agency MBS

universe is

skewed in

favor

of higher

coupon, 30-year

securities

that are

currently

in production

by originators.

Lower coupon

securities,

especially

those held

in large

amounts by

the Fed,

and which

may eventually

be sold by

the Fed,

have performed

the worst,

however, subsequent

to June 30,

2022,

performance

of these

securities

has improved.

As both the

domestic and

the global

economies

appear to

be slowing,

the more

credit sensitive

sectors of

the fixed

income markets

have come

under pressure

and are

likely to further

weaken if

the economies

do indeed

contract.

As a result,

the relative

performance

Agency MBS,

while negative

in absolute

terms, has

been better

than most

sectors of

the fixed

income markets.

Actions by

the Fed

described

above may

prevent the

sector from

performing

well in the

near term

but, if the

economy does

contract

and enter

a recession,

the

sector could

do well on

a relative

performance

basis owing

to the lack

of credit

exposure

of Agency

MBS.

This is consistent

with the

sector’s

history of

performance

in a counter-cyclical

manner –

doing well

when the

economy is

soft and

relatively

poorly when

the economy

is strong.

Recent Legislative

and Regulatory

Developments

In response

to the deterioration

in the markets

for U.S.

Treasuries, Agency

MBS and other

mortgage

and fixed

income markets

investors

liquidated

investments

in response

to the economic

crisis resulting

from the

actions to

contain and

minimize the

impacts of

the

COVID-19

pandemic,

on the morning

of Monday, March

23, 2020,

the Fed announced

a program

to acquire

U.S. Treasuries

and Agency

MBS in the

amounts needed

to support

smooth market

functioning.

With these

purchases,

market conditions

improved substantially.

Through November

of 2021,

the Fed was

committed

to purchasing

$80 billion

of U.S.

Treasuries and

$40 billion

of Agency

MBS each

month. In

November

of 2021,

it began

tapering

its net asset

purchases

each month

and ended

net asset

purchases

entirely

by early March

of 2022.

On May 4,

2022, the

FOMC announced

a plan for

reducing

the Fed’s balance

sheet. In

June of 2022,

in accordance

with this

plan, the

Fed began

reducing

its balance

sheet by a

maximum

of $30 billion

of U.S.

Treasuries and

$17.5 billion

of Agency

MBS each

month, with

those numbers

expected to

double in

September

of 2022 to

a maximum

of $60 billion

of U.S.

Treasuries and

$35 billion

Agency MBS

each month.

On December

27, 2020,

former President

Trump signed

into law

an additional

$900 billion

coronavirus

aid package

as part of

the

Consolidated

Appropriations

Act, 2021,

providing

for extensions

of many of

the CARES

Act policies

and programs

as well as

additional

relief. On

January 29,

2021, the

CDC issued

guidance extending

eviction moratoriums

for covered

persons through

March 31,

2021. The

FHFA subsequently

extended

the foreclosure

moratorium

begun under

the CARES

Act for loans

backed by

Fannie Mae

and Freddie

Mac

and the eviction

moratorium

for real

estate owned

by Fannie

Mae and Freddie

Mac until

July 31,

2021 and

September

30, 2021,

respectively. The

U.S. Housing

and Urban

Development

Department

subsequently

extended

the FHA

foreclosure

and eviction

moratoria

July 31, 2021,

and September

30, 2021,

respectively.

Despite

the expirations

of these

foreclosure

moratoria,

a final rule

adopted by

the

CFPB on

June 28,

2021, effectively

prohibited

servicers

from initiating

a foreclosure

before January

1, 2022 in

most instances.

Following

the end of

this limitation,

U.S. foreclosure

starts for

the first

half of 2022

were up

153% and

down 1% from

the comparable

periods in

2021

and 2020,

respectively, and

at 41% of

the 10-year

historic average

for the comparable

period.

In January

2019, the

Trump administration

made statements

of its plans

to work with

Congress to

overhaul

Fannie Mae

and Freddie

Mac and expectations

to announce

a framework

for the development

of a policy

for comprehensive

housing finance

reform soon.

September

30, 2019,

the FHFA announced

that Fannie

Mae and Freddie

Mac were

allowed to

increase their

capital buffers

to $25 billion

and

$20 billion,

respectively, from

the prior

limit of $3

billion each.

This step

could ultimately

lead to

Fannie Mae

and Freddie

Mac being

privatized

and represents

the first

concrete

step on the

road to GSE

reform.

On June 30,

2020, the

FHFA released

a proposed

rule on a

new regulatory

framework

for the GSEs

which seeks

to implement

both a risk-based

capital framework

and minimum

leverage

capital

requirements.

The final

rule on the

new capital

framework

for the GSEs

was published

in the federal

in December

2020.

January 14,

2021, the

U.S. Treasury

and the FHFA

executed letter

agreements

allowing

the GSEs

to continue

to retain

capital up

to their

regulatory

minimums,

including

buffers, as

prescribed

in the December

rule.

These letter

agreements

provide,

in part,

(i) there

will be no

exit from

conservatorship

until all

material litigation

is settled

and the GSE

has common

equity Tier

1 capital

of at least

3% of its

assets, (ii)

the GSEs

will comply

with the

FHFA’s regulatory capital

framework,

(iii) higher-risk

single-family

mortgage

acquisitions

will be

restricted

current levels,

and (iv)

the U.S.

Treasury and

the FHFA will

establish

a timeline

and process

for future

GSE reform.

However, no definitive

proposals

or legislation

have been

released or

enacted with

respect to

ending the

conservatorship,

unwinding

the GSEs,

or materially

reducing

the roles

of the GSEs

in the U.S.

mortgage

market. On

September

14, 2021,

the U.S.

Treasury and

the FHFA suspended

certain

policy provisions

in the January

agreement,

including

limits on

loans acquired

for cash

consideration,

multifamily

loans, loans

with higher

risk characteristics

and second

homes and

investment

properties.

On February

25, 2022,

the FHFA published

a final rule,

effective as

April 26,

2022, amending

the GSE capital

framework

established

in December

2020 by, among

other things,

replacing

the fixed

leverage

buffer equal

to 1.5% of

a GSE’s adjusted

total assets

with a dynamic

leverage

buffer equal

to 50% of

a GSE’s stability

capital buffer,

reducing

the risk weight

floor from

10% to 5%,

and removing

the requirement

that the

GSEs must

apply an overall

effectiveness

adjustment

to their

credit risk

transfer

exposures.

On June 14,

2022, the

GSEs announced

that they

will each

charge a

50 bps fee

for

commingled

securities

issued on

or after

July 1, 2022

to cover

the additional

capital required

for such

securities

under the

GSE capital

framework.

Industry

groups have

expressed

concern that

this poses

a risk to

the fungibility

of the Uniform

Mortgage-Backed

Security

(“UMBS”),

which could

negatively

impact liquidity

and pricing

in the market

for TBA

securities.

In 2017,

policymakers

announced

that LIBOR

will be replaced

by December

31, 2021.

The directive

was spurred

by the fact

that

banks are

uncomfortable

contributing

to the LIBOR

panel given

the shortage

of underlying

transactions

on which

to base levels

and the

liability

associated

with submitting

an unfounded

level. However,

the ICE Benchmark

Administration,

in its capacity

as administrator

USD LIBOR,

has announced

that it intends

to extend

publication

of USD LIBOR

(other than

one-week and

two-month

tenors) by

months to

June 2023.

Notwithstanding

this extension,

a joint statement

by key regulatory

authorities

called on banks

to cease

entering

into new

contracts

that use

USD LIBOR

as a reference

rate by no

later than

December

31, 2021.

- 42 -

On December

7, 2021,

the CFPB

released

a final rule

that amends

Regulation

Z, which

implemented

the Truth in

Lending Act,

aimed

at addressing

cessation

of LIBOR

for both

closed-end

(e.g., home

mortgage)

and open-end

(e.g., home

equity line

of credit)

products.

The

rule, which

mostly became

effective

in April

of 2022,

establishes

requirements

for the selection

of replacement

indices for

existing LIBOR-

linked consumer

loans. Although

the rule

does not

mandate the

use of SOFR

as the alternative

rate, it

identifies

SOFR as a

comparable

rate for

closed-end

products

and states

that for

open-end products,

the CFPB

has determined

that ARRC’s

recommended

spread-adjusted

indices based

on SOFR

for consumer

products

to replace

the one-month,

three-month,

or six-month

USD LIBOR

index “have

historical

fluctuations

that are

substantially

similar to

those of

the LIBOR

indices that

they are

intended

to replace.”

The CFPB

reserved judgment,

however, on a

SOFR-based

spread-adjusted

replacement

index to

replace the

one-year USD

LIBOR until

it obtained

additional

information.

On March 15,

2022, the

Adjustable

Interest

Rate (LIBOR)

Act (the “LIBOR

Act”) was

signed into

law as part

of the Consolidated

Appropriations

Act, 2022

(H.R. 2471).

The LIBOR

Act provides

for a statutory

replacement

benchmark

rate for

contracts

that use LIBOR

as a benchmark

and do not

contain any

fallback mechanism

independent

of LIBOR.

Pursuant to

the LIBOR

Act, SOFR

becomes the

new

benchmark

rate by operation

of law for

any such contract.

The LIBOR

Act establishes

a safe harbor

from litigation

for claims

arising out

or related

to the use

of SOFR

as the recommended

benchmark

replacement.

The LIBOR

Act makes

clear that

it should

not be construed

to disfavor

the use of

any benchmark

on a prospective

basis.

The LIBOR

Act also

attempts

to forestall

challenges

that it is

impairing

contracts.

It provides

that the

discontinuance

of LIBOR

and

the automatic

statutory

transition

to a replacement

rate neither

impairs or

affects the

rights of

a party to

receive payment

under such

contracts,

nor allows

a party to

discharge

their performance

obligations

or to declare

a breach

of contract.

It amends

the Trust Indenture

Act of 1939

to state

that the

“the right

of any holder

of any indenture

security to

receive payment

of the principal

of and interest

on such

indenture

security shall

not be deemed

to be impaired

or affected”

by application

of the LIBOR

Act to any

indenture

security.

One-week and

two-month

U.S. dollar

LIBOR rates

phased out

on December

31, 2021,

but other

U.S. dollar

tenors may

continue until

June 30,

2023. We will

monitor the

emergence

of SOFR

carefully

as it appears

likely to

become the

new benchmark

for hedges

and a

range of

interest

rate investments.

Effective January

1, 2021,

Fannie Mae,

in alignment

with Freddie

Mac, extended

the timeframe

for its delinquent

loan buyout

policy

for Single-Family

Uniform Mortgage-Backed

Securities

(UMBS) and

Mortgage-Backed

Securities

(MBS) from

four consecutively

missed

monthly payments

to twenty-four

consecutively

missed monthly

payments (i.e.,

24 months

past due).

This new

timeframe

applied to

outstanding

single-family

pools and

newly issued

single-family

pools and

was first

reflected

when January

2021 factors

were released

the fourth

business day

in February

2021.

For Agency

MBS investors,

when a delinquent

loan is bought

out of a

pool of mortgage

loans, the

removal of

the loan

from the

pool

is the same

as a total

prepayment

of the loan.

The respective

GSEs anticipated,

however, that

delinquent

loans will

be repurchased

most cases

before the

24-month

deadline under

one of the

following

exceptions

listed below.

•

a loan that

is paid in

full, or

where the

related lien

is released

and/or the

note debt

is satisfied

or forgiven;

•

a loan repurchased

by a seller/servicer

under applicable

selling

and servicing

requirements;

•

a loan entering

a permanent

modification,

which generally

requires

it to be

removed from

the MBS.

During any

modification

trial

period, the

loan will

remain in

the MBS until

the trial

period ends;

•

a loan subject

to a short

sale or

deed-in-lieu

of foreclosure;

•

a loan referred

to foreclosure.

Because of

these exceptions,

the GSEs

believe based

on prevailing

assumptions

and market

conditions

this change

will have

only a

marginal impact

on prepayment

speeds, in

aggregate.

Cohort level

impacts may

vary. For example,

more than

half of loans

referred

foreclosure

are historically

referred

within six

months of

delinquency. The

degree to

which speeds

are affected

depends on

delinquency

levels, borrower

response,

and referral

to foreclosure

timelines.

The scope

and nature

of the actions

the U.S.

government

or the Fed

will ultimately

undertake

are unknown

and will

continue to

evolve

Effect on Us

Regulatory

developments,

movements

in interest

rates and

prepayment

rates affect

us in many

ways, including

the following:

Effects on

our Assets

A change

in or elimination

of the guarantee

structure

of Agency

MBS may increase

our costs

(if, for

example, guarantee

fees

increase)

or require

us to change

our investment

strategy altogether.

For example,

the elimination

of the guarantee

structure

of Agency

MBS may cause

us to change

our investment

strategy

to focus

on non-Agency

MBS, which

in turn would

require us

to significantly

increase our

monitoring

of the credit

risks of our

investments

in addition

to interest

rate and

prepayment

risks.

Lower long-term

interest

rates can

affect the

value of our

Agency MBS

in a number

of ways.

If prepayment

rates are

relatively

low

(due, in

part, to

the refinancing

problems described

above), lower

long-term

interest

rates can

increase the

value of higher-coupon

Agency

MBS.

This is because

investors

typically

place a premium

on assets

with yields

that are

higher than

market yields.

Although

lower

long-

term interest

rates may

increase

asset values

in our portfolio,

we may not

be able to

invest new

funds in similarly-yielding

assets.

If prepayment

levels increase,

the value

of our Agency

MBS affected

by such prepayments

may decline.

This is because

a principal

prepayment

accelerates

the effective

term of an

Agency MBS,

which would

shorten the

period during

which an

investor would

receive

above-market

returns (assuming

the yield

on the prepaid

asset is

higher than

market yields).

Also, prepayment

proceeds

may not

be able

to be reinvested

in similar-yielding

assets. Agency

MBS backed

by mortgages

with high

interest

rates are

more susceptible

to prepayment

risk because

holders of

those mortgages

are most

likely to

refinance

to a lower

rate. IOs

and IIOs,

however, may

be the types

of Agency

MBS most

sensitive

to increased

prepayment

rates. Because

the holder

of an IO

or IIO receives

no principal

payments,

the values

of IOs

and IIOs are

entirely dependent

on the existence

of a principal

balance on

the underlying

mortgages.

If the principal

balance is

eliminated

due to prepayment,

IOs and IIOs

essentially

become worthless.

Although

increased

prepayment

rates can

negatively

affect the

value of

our IOs and

IIOs, they

have the

opposite effect

on POs. Because

POs act like

zero-coupon

bonds, meaning

they are

purchased

at a

discount to

their par

value and

have an effective

interest

rate based

on the discount

and the term

of the underlying

loan, an increase

prepayment

rates would

reduce the

effective term

of our POs

and accelerate

the yields

earned on

those assets,

which would

increase our

net income.

Higher long-term

rates can

also affect

the value

of our Agency

MBS.

As long-term

rates rise,

rates available

to borrowers

also rise.

This tends

to cause prepayment

activity to

slow and

extend the

expected average

life of mortgage

cash flows.

As the expected

average

life of the

mortgage

cash flows

increases,

coupled with

higher discount

rates, the

value of Agency

MBS declines.

Some of the

instruments

the Company

uses to hedge

our Agency

MBS assets,

such as interest

rate futures,

swaps and

swaptions,

are stable

average life

instruments.

This means

that to

the extent

we use such

instruments

to hedge

our Agency

MBS assets,

our hedges

may not adequately

protect us

from price

declines,

and therefore

may negatively

impact our

book value.

It is for

this reason

we use interest

only securities

our portfolio.

As interest

rates rise,

the expected

average life

of these

securities

increases,

causing generally

positive price

movements

the number

and size of

the cash

flows increase

the longer

the underlying

mortgages

remain outstanding.

This makes

interest

only

securities

desirable

hedge instruments

for pass-through

Agency MBS.

- 44 -

As described

above, the

Agency MBS

market began

to experience

severe dislocations

in mid-March

2020 as a

result of

the

economic,

health and

market turmoil

brought about

by COVID-19.

On March 23,

2020, the

Fed announced

that it would

purchase

Agency

MBS and U.S.

Treasuries in

the amounts

needed to

support smooth

market functioning,

which largely

stabilized

the Agency

MBS market,

but ended

these purchases

in March

2022 and

announced

plans to

reduce its

balance sheet.

The Fed’s planned

reduction

of its balance

sheet could

negatively

impact our

investment

portfolio.

Further, the

moratoriums

on foreclosures

and evictions

described

above will

likely

delay potential

defaults on

loans that

would otherwise

be bought

out of Agency

MBS pools

as described

above.

Depending

on the

ultimate resolution

of the foreclosure

or evictions,

when and

if it occurs,

these loans

may be removed

from the

pool into

which they

were

securitized.

If this were

to occur, it

would have

the effect

of delaying

a prepayment

on the Company’s

securities

until such

time. As

the

majority of

the Company’s

Agency MBS

assets were

acquired

at a premium

to par, this will

tend to increase

the realized

yield on

the asset

in question.

Because we

base our

investment

decisions

on risk management

principles

rather than

anticipated

movements

in interest

rates, in

volatile interest

rate environment

we may allocate

more capital

to structured

Agency MBS

with shorter

durations.

We believe

these

securities

have a lower

sensitivity

to changes

in long-term

interest

rates than

other asset

classes.

We may attempt

to mitigate

our

exposure

to changes

in long-term

interest

rates by

investing

in IOs and

IIOs, which

typically

have different

sensitivities

to changes

in long-

term interest

rates than

PT MBS,

particularly

PT MBS backed

by fixed-rate

mortgages.

Effects on

our borrowing

costs

We leverage

our PT MBS

portfolio

and a portion

of our structured

Agency MBS

with principal

balances through

the use of

short-term

repurchase

agreement

transactions.

The interest

rates on

our debt

are determined

by the short

term interest

rate markets.

Increases

in the

Fed Funds

rate, SOFR

or LIBOR

typically

increase our

borrowing

costs, which

could affect

our interest

rate spread

if there

is no

corresponding

increase in

the interest

we earn

on our assets.

This would

be most prevalent

with respect

to our Agency

MBS backed

fixed rate

mortgage

loans because

the interest

rate on a

fixed-rate

mortgage

loan does

not change

even though

market rates

may change.

In order

to protect

our net interest

margin against

increases

in short-term

interest

rates, we

may enter

into interest

rate swaps,

which

economically

convert our

floating-rate

repurchase

agreement

debt to fixed-rate

debt, or

utilize other

hedging instruments

such as

Eurodollar, Fed

Funds and

T-Note futures

contracts

or interest

rate swaptions.

Summary

During the

latter part

of the second

quarter of

2022 inflation

data drove

a material

change in

Fed policy, interest

rates and

the outlook

for the economy.

Specifically, the

CPI for

May, released in

June, was

far above

market expectations.

Survey measures

of inflation

expectations,

released

on the same

day, surged to

multi-decade

highs. In

July, the June CPI

reading was

released

and was again

well

above market

expectations.

Equally

troubling,

elevated inflation

readings

were very

broad based,

implying inflationary

pressures

have

clearly spread

from just

those sectors

most exposed

to COVID-19

related supply

constraints.

This was

the catalyst

for the Fed

to pivot

even more

forcefully

than they

did during

late 2021/early

2022, and

the Fed raised

the Fed Funds

rate by 200

basis points

collectively

the May, June and

July meetings.

The market

expects the

Fed to continuing

raising the

Fed Funds

rate by another

100 basis

points by

year-end.

Increases

in the Fed

Funds rate

are likely

to affect economic

activity, and the

Fed has acknowledged

their actions

may lead to

recession.

Sectors of

the economy

most sensitive

to interest

rates – such

as housing

– have already

started to

slow and

other economic

indicators

have shown

evidence

of slowing,

such as new

orders and

production

levels for

the manufacturing

sector as

reported by

the

Institute

for Supply

Management.

Initial claims

for unemployment

in July of

2022 have

risen by

approximately

94,000 above

the low

reading reported

in March of

2022.

- 45 -

The market

appears to

anticipate

the Fed will

be able to

contain inflation

and that

the result

will be a

contraction

in economic

growth.

This is reflected

in yields

for longer-term

U.S. Treasuries.

With the

Fed expected

to increase

the Fed

Funds rate

by another

100 basis

points or

more, shorter

maturity U.S.

Treasuries remain

elevated,

with the

yield on the

2-year U.S.

Treasury Note

yielding approximately

3.07% on

August 3,

2022.

The

combined effect

– more increases

to the Fed

Funds rate,

inflation

to be ultimately

contained

by the Fed

albeit potentially

at the expense

of a recession,

has caused

the yield

curve to

invert whereby

shorter maturity

U.S. Treasuries

yield more

than long-term

U.S. Treasuries.

This condition

may persist

for the

balance of

2022 and

into 2023.

The Agency

MBS market

generated

negative returns

for the second

quarter (-3.9%)

and year-to-date

(-8.8%),

and such returns

were

lower than

comparable

duration

U.S. Treasuries

by 1.20%

and 2.3%,

respectively.

During June

of 2022,

spreads to

comparable

duration

U.S. Treasuries

were near

the extreme

levels observed

in March

of 2020 when

the markets

experienced

the extreme

turbulence

in the

early days

of the COVID-19

pandemic that

triggered

unprecedented

intervention

in the market

by the Fed.

In spite of

this poor

performance,

Agency MBS

actually delivered

better returns

than most

sectors of

the fixed

income markets

during the

second quarter

and

first six

months of

2022.

For this

reason, returns

to the sector

may remain

low as the

largest participants

in the sector

– the Fed

via

quantitative

easing, now

quantitative

tightening,

and large

banks and

money managers

– refrain

from increasing

their investments

in the

sector.

However, if the

economy does

enter into

a recession

the sector

could outperform

other sectors

owing to

its lack of

credit risk

and

the prospects

for lower

funding rates

and declining

longer-term

rates. Through

the early

days of the

third quarter

of 2022,

Agency MBS

have performed

well and

most of the

widening

in spreads

that occurred

in June of

2022 has

reversed.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated

financial

statements

are prepared

in accordance

with GAAP.

GAAP requires

our management

to make some

complex and

subjective

decisions

and assessments.

Our most

critical accounting

policies involve

decisions

and assessments

which could

significantly

affect reported

assets,

liabilities,

revenues

and expenses,

and these

decisions

and assessments

can change

significantly

each reporting

period.

There have

been no changes

to the processes

used to determine

our critical

accounting

estimates

as discussed

our annual

report on

Form 10-K

for the year

ended December

31, 2021.

Capital Expenditures

At June 30, 2022, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “evaluation date”), we

carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and

with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”)

and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of

the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures,

as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation,

the CEO and CFO concluded our disclosure controls

and procedures, as designed and implemented, were effective as of the evaluation date (1)

in ensuring that information regarding the

Company and its subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to our management,

including our CEO and CFO, by our employees,

as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (2)

in providing reasonable assurance that information we

must disclose in our periodic reports under the Exchange Act is recorded,

processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

prescribed by the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting

that occurred during the Company’s

most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely

to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over

financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 22, 2020, the Company received a demand for payment from Citigroup, Inc.

in the amount of $33.1 million related to the

indemnification provisions of various mortgage loan purchase agreements (“MLPA’s”) entered into between Citigroup Global Markets

Realty Corp and Royal Palm Capital, LLC (f/k/a Opteum Financial Services,

LLC) prior to the date Royal Palm’s mortgage origination

operations ceased in 2007. In November 2021, Citigroup notified the Company

of additional indemnity claims totaling $0.2 million. The

demands are based on Royal Palm’s alleged breaches of certain representations and warranties

in the related MLPA’s.

The Company

believes the demands are without merit and intends to defend against the demands

vigorously. No provision or accrual has been

recorded related to the Citigroup demands.

We are not party to any other material pending legal proceedings as described

in Item 103 of Regulation S-K.
