On
November 3, 2005, Bimini Mortgage acquired Opteum Financial Services, LLC
(“OFS”). This entity was renamed Orchid Island TRS, LLC
(“OITRS”) effective July 3, 2007. Hereinafter, any historical
mention, discussion or references to Opteum Financial Services, LLC or to
OFS (such as in previously filed documents or Exhibits) now means Orchid
Island TRS, LLC or “OITRS.” Upon closing of the transaction,
OITRS became a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary of the
Company.
|
|
·
|
On
February 10, 2006, the Company changed its name to Opteum Inc.
(“Opteum”).
|
|
·
|
On
December 21, 2006, the Company sold to Citigroup Global Markets Realty
Corp. (“Citigroup Realty”) a Class B non-voting limited liability company
membership interest in OITRS, representing 7.5% of all of OITRS’s
outstanding limited liability company membership interests, for $4.1
million. The Company also granted Citigroup Realty the option to acquire
additional Class B non-voting limited liability company membership
interests in OITRS. This option was not exercised. On May 27,
2008, the Company repurchased the 7.5% interest for
$50,000.
|
|
·
|
On
April 18, 2007, the Board of Managers of OITRS, at the recommendation of
the Board of Directors of the Company, approved the closure of OITRS’
wholesale and conduit mortgage loan origination channels in the second
quarter of 2007. Also, during the second and third quarters of
2007, substantially all of the other operating assets of OITRS were sold
and the proceeds were primarily used to repay secured indebtedness.
Beginning with the second quarter of 2007, the activities of OITRS have
been reported as a discontinued operation, and management of the Company
have worked to restructure the Company to again operate solely as a
REIT.

Monitoring
and adjusting, if necessary, the interest rate sensitivity of our mortgage
related securities compared with the interest rate sensitivities of our
borrowings.

·
|
Attempting
to structure our repurchase agreements that fund our purchases of
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities to have a range of different
maturities and interest rate adjustment periods. We attempt to structure
these repurchase agreements to match the reset dates on our
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities when possible. At
December 31, 2009, the weighted average months to reset of our
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities was 4.9 months and the
weighted average reset on the corresponding repurchase agreements was 25
days; and
|
|
·
|
Actively
managing, on an aggregate basis, the interest rate indices and interest
rate adjustment periods of our mortgage related securities compared to the
interest rate indices and adjustment periods of our borrowings. Our
liabilities under our repurchase agreements are all LIBOR-based, and we,
among other considerations, select our adjustable-rate mortgage-backed
securities to favor LIBOR indexes.
|
|
·
|
Owning
securities with lower anticipated levels of prepayments so as to avoid
excessive margin calls when monthly prepayments are
announced. Prepayment speeds are typically made available prior
to the receipt of the related cash flows, thus causing the market value of
the related security to decrease prior to the receipt of the associated
cash. This gives rise to a temporary collateral deficiency and
generally results in margin calls by
lenders.
|
|
·
|
Obtaining
funding arrangements whereby prepayment related margin calls are deferred
or waived in exchange for payments to the lender tied to the dollar amount
of the collateral deficiency and a pre-determined interest
rate.

Fixed-Rate
Mortgages
. As of December 31, 2009, 4.4% of
our portfolio consisted of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities.
Fixed-rate mortgages are those where the borrower pays an interest rate
that is constant throughout the term of the loan. Traditionally, most
fixed-rate mortgages have an original term of 30 years. However,
shorter terms (also referred to as final maturity dates) have become
common in recent years. Because the interest rate on the loan never
changes, even when market interest rates change, over time there can be a
divergence between the interest rate on the loan and current market
interest rates. This in turn can make a fixed-rate mortgages price
sensitive to market fluctuations in interest rates. In general, the longer
the remaining term on the mortgage loan, the greater the price
sensitivity.
|
|
·
|
Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations
. As of December 31, 2009, 0.0%
of our portfolio consisted of collateralized mortgage obligations.
Collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs, are a type of
mortgage-backed security. Interest and principal on a CMO are paid, in
most cases, on a monthly basis. CMOs may be collateralized by whole
mortgage loans, but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of
mortgage pass-through securities issued directly by or under the auspices
of Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. CMOs are structured into
multiple classes, with each class bearing a different stated maturity.
Monthly payments of principal, including prepayments, are first returned
to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the
longer maturity classes receive principal only after the first class has
been retired. Generally, fixed-rate mortgages are used to collateralize
CMOs. However, the CMO tranches need not all have fixed-rate coupons. Some
CMO tranches have floating rate coupons that adjust based on market
interest rates, subject to some limitations. Such tranches, often called
"CMO floaters," can have relatively low price sensitivity to interest
rates.
|
|
·
|
Adjustable-Rate
Mortgages
. As of December 31, 2009, 27.2% of
our portfolio consisted of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities.
Adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, are those for which the borrower pays
an interest rate that varies over the term of the loan. The interest rate
usually resets based on market interest rates, although the adjustment of
such an interest rate may be subject to certain limitations.
Traditionally, interest rate resets occur at regular set intervals (for
example, once per year). We will refer to such ARMs as "traditional"
ARMs. Because the interest rates on ARMs fluctuate based on
market conditions, ARMs tend to have interest rates that do not
deviate from current market rates by a large amount. This in turn can mean
that ARMs have less price sensitivity to interest
rates.
|
|
·
|
Hybrid Adjustable-Rate
Mortgages
. As of December 31, 2009, 56.0% of
our portfolio consisted of hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage-backed
securities. Hybrid ARMs have a fixed-rate for the first few years of
the loan, often three, five, or seven years, and thereafter reset
periodically like a traditional ARM. Effectively such mortgages are
hybrids, combining the features of a pure fixed-rate mortgage and a
"traditional" ARM. Hybrid ARMs have price sensitivity to interest
rates similar to that of a fixed-rate mortgage during the period when the
interest rate is fixed and similar to that of an ARM when the interest
rate is in its periodic reset stage. However, because many hybrid
ARMs are structured with a relatively short initial time span during
which the interest rate is fixed, even during that segment of its
existence, the price sensitivity may be
high.
|
|
·
|
Balloon Maturity
Mortgages
. As of December 31, 2009, 0.0% of
our portfolio consisted of balloon maturity mortgage-backed securities.
Balloon maturity mortgages are a type of fixed-rate mortgage where all or
most of the principal amount is due at maturity, rather than paid down, or
amortized, over the life of the loan. These mortgages have a static
interest rate for the life of the loan. However, the term of the loan is
usually quite short, typically less than seven years. As the balloon
maturity mortgage approaches its maturity date, the price sensitivity of
the mortgage declines.
|
|
·
|
Interest Only Securities
(“IO”)
As of December 31, 2009, 0.0% of our portfolio consisted of
IO securities. IO securities represent the stream of interest payments on
a pool of mortgages, either fixed-rate mortgages or hybrid adjustable-rate
mortgages; holders of IO securities have no claim to any principal
payments. The value of IOs depends primarily on two factors;
prepayments and interest rates. Prepayments on the underlying pool of
mortgages reduce the stream of interest payments going forward, hence IOs
are highly sensitive to the rate at which the mortgages in the pool are
prepaid. IOs are also sensitive to changes in interest rates. An increase
in interest rates reduces the present value of future interest payments on
a pool of mortgages. On the other hand, an increase in interest rates has
a tendency to reduce prepayments, which increases the expected absolute
amount of future interest payments.
|
|
·
|
Inverse Interest Only
Securities (“IIO”)
As of December 31, 2009, 12.4% of our portfolio
consisted of IIO securities.
IIO securities
represent the stream of interest payments on a pool of mortgages, either
fixed-rate mortgages or hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages; holders of IIO
securities have no claim to any principal payments. The value
of IIOs depends primarily on three factors; prepayments, LIBOR rates and
term interest rates. Prepayments on the underlying pool of mortgages
reduce the stream of interest payments, hence IIOs are highly sensitive to
the rate at which the mortgages in the pool are prepaid. The coupon IIO
securities are derived from both the coupon interest rate on the
underlying pool of mortgages and one month LIBOR. IIO
securities are typically created in conjunction with a floating rate CMO
which has a principal balance and which is entitled to receive all of the
principal payments on the underlying pool of mortgages. The
coupon on the floating rate CMO is also based on one month
LIBOR. Typically, the coupon on the floating rate CMO and the
IIO, when combined, equal the coupon on the pool of underlying
mortgages. The coupon on the pool of underlying mortgages
typically represents a cap or ceiling on the combined coupons of the
floating rate CMO and the IIO. Accordingly, when the value of one month
LIBOR increases, the coupon of the floating rate CMO will increase and the
coupon on the IIO will decrease. When the value of one month LIBOR falls,
the opposite is true. Accordingly, the value of IIO securities
are sensitive to the level of one month LIBOR and expectations by market
participants of future movements in the level of one month LIBOR. IIO
securities are also sensitive to changes in interest rates. An increase in
interest rates reduces the present value of future interest payments on a
pool of mortgages. On the other hand, an increase in interest rates has a
tendency to reduce prepayments, which increases the expected absolute
amount of future interest payments.
|
|
·
|
Principal Only Securities
(“PO”)
As of December 31, 2009, 0.0% of our
portfolio consisted of PO securities. PO securities represent the stream
of principal payments on a pool of mortgages; holders of PO securities
have no claim to any interest payments, although the ultimate amount of
principal to be received over time is known – it equals the principal
balance of the underlying pool of mortgages. What is not known
is the timing of the receipt of the principal payments. The value of POs
depends primarily on two factors; prepayments and interest rates.
Prepayments on the underlying pool of mortgages accelerate the stream of
principal repayments, hence POs are highly sensitive to the rate at which
the mortgages in the pool are prepaid. POs are also sensitive to changes
in interest rates. An increase in interest rates reduces the present value
of future principal payments on a pool of mortgages. Further, an increase
in interest rates also has a tendency to reduce prepayments, which
decelerates, or pushes further out in time, the ultimate receipt of the
principal payments. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline.

We
may be subject to the “alternative minimum tax” on any items of tax
preference that we do not distribute or allocate to

·
|
We
will pay income tax at the highest corporate rate
on:

|
|
·
|
We

to customers in the ordinary course of
business.
|
|
·
|
If
we fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test,
as described below under “— Requirements for
Qualification — Gross Income Tests,” and nonetheless continue to
qualify as a REIT because we meet other requirements, we will pay a 100%

·
|
In
the event of a more than de minimis failure of any of the asset tests, as
described below under “—Requirement for Qualification — Asset Tests,”
as long as the failure was due to reasonable cause and not to willful
neglect, we file a description of the assets that caused such failure with
the IRS, and we dispose of the assets or otherwise comply with the asset
tests within six months after the last day of the quarter in which we
identify such failure, we will pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000
or 35% of the net income from the nonqualifying assets during the period
in which we failed to satisfy any of the asset
tests.
|
|
·
|
In
the event of a failure to satisfy one or more requirements for REIT
qualification, other than the gross income tests or the asset tests, as

make a timely designation of such gain to the stockholder) and would
receive a credit or refund for its proportionate share of the tax we
paid.

|
We
will be subject to a 100% excise tax on transactions between us and a TRS

we acquire any asset from a C corporation, or a corporation that generally
is subject to full corporate-level tax, in a merger or other transaction
in which we acquire a basis in the asset that is determined by reference
either to the C corporation’s basis in the asset or to another asset, we
will pay tax at the highest regular corporate rate applicable if we
recognize gain on the sale or disposition of the asset during the 10-year
period after we acquire the asset. The amount of gain on which we will pay
tax is the lesser of:
|
|
o

the
amount of gain that we would have recognized if we had sold the asset at

If
we own a residual interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit,
or (“REMIC”), we will be taxed at the highest corporate rate on the
portion of any excess inclusion income that we derive from the REMIC
residual interests equal to the percentage of our stock that is held by
“disqualified organizations.” Similar rules may apply if we own an equity
interest in a taxable mortgage pool. To the extent that we own a REMIC
residual interest or an equity interest in a taxable mortgage pool through
a TRS, as is the case with OITRS, we will not be subject to this tax. For
a discussion of “excess inclusion income,” see “—Requirements for

·
|
income
derived from the temporary investment of new capital that is attributable
to the issuance of our stock or a public offering of our debt with a
maturity date of at least five years and that we receive during the
one-year period beginning on the date on which we received such new
capital.
|
|
·
|
an
amount that is based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or
sales; and
|
|
·
|
an
amount that is based on the income or profits of a debtor, as long as the
debtor derives substantially all of its income from the real property
securing the debt from leasing substantially all of its interest in the
property, and only to the extent that the amounts received by the debtor
would be qualifying “rents from real property” if received directly by a
REIT.
|
|
·
|
First,
the amount of rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or
profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally
will not be excluded from rents from real property solely by reason of
being based on fixed percentages of receipts or
sales.
|
|
·
|
Second,
rents we receive from a “related party tenant” will not qualify as rents
from real property in satisfying the gross income tests unless the tenant
is a TRS, at least 90% of the property is leased to unrelated tenants and
the rent paid by the TRS is substantially comparable to the rent paid by
the unrelated tenants for comparable space and the rent is not
attributable to a modification of a lease with a controlled TRS (i.e., a
TRS in which we own directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting
power or value of the stock). A tenant is a related party tenant if the
REIT, or an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the REIT,
actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the
tenant.
|
|
·
|
Third,
if rent attributable to personal property, leased in connection with a
lease of real property, is greater than 15% of the total rent received
under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to the personal
property will not qualify as rents from real
property.
|
|
·
|
Fourth,
we generally must not operate or manage our real property or furnish or
render noncustomary services to our tenants, other than through an
“independent contractor” who is adequately compensated and from whom we do
not derive revenue. However, we may provide services directly to tenants
if the services are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with
the rental of space for occupancy only and are not considered to be
provided for the tenants’ convenience. In addition, we may provide a
minimal amount of “noncustomary” services to the tenants of a property,
other than through an independent contractor, as long as our income from
the services does not exceed 1% of our income from the related property.
Furthermore, we may own up to 100% of the stock of a TRS, which may
provide customary and noncustomary services to tenants without tainting
its rental income from the related
properties.

that
is acquired by a REIT as the result of the REIT having bid on such
property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced such property to
ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after there was a
default or default was imminent on a lease of such property or on
indebtedness that such property
secured;
|
|
·
|
for
which the related loan or lease was acquired by the REIT at a time when
the default was not imminent or
anticipated; and
|
|
·
|
for
which the REIT makes a proper election to treat the property as
foreclosure property.
|
|
·
|
on
which a lease is entered into for the property that, by its terms, will
give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross
income test, or any amount is received or accrued, directly or indirectly,
pursuant to a lease entered into on or after such day that will give rise
to income that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income
test;
|
|
·
|
on
which any construction takes place on the property, other than completion
of a building or any other improvement, where more than 10% of the
construction was completed before default became
imminent; or
|
|
·
|
which
is more than 90 days after the day on which the REIT acquired the
property and the property is used in a trade or business which is
conducted by the REIT, other than through an independent contractor from
whom the REIT itself does not derive or receive any
income.
|
|
·
|
our
failure to meet such tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to
willful neglect; and
|
|
·
|
following
such failure for any taxable year, a schedule of the sources of our income
is filed with the IRS.
|
|
·
|
cash
or cash items, including certain
receivables;
|
|
·
|
government
securities;
|

·
|
interests
in real property, including leaseholds and options to acquire real
property and leaseholds;

receipt of new capital that we raise through equity offerings or public
offerings of debt with at least a five-year
term; and
|

·
|
regular
or residual interests in a REMIC. However, if less than 95% of the assets
of a REMIC consists of assets that are qualifying real estate-related
assets under the federal income tax laws, determined as if we held such
assets, we will be treated as holding directly our proportionate share of
the assets of such REMIC.

“Straight
debt” securities, which is defined as a written unconditional promise to
pay on demand or on a specified date a sum certain in money if
(i) the debt is not convertible, directly or indirectly, into stock,
and (ii) the interest rate and interest payment dates are not
contingent on profits, the borrower’s discretion, or similar factors.
“Straight debt” securities do not include any securities issued by a
partnership or a corporation in which we or any controlled TRS (i.e., a
TRS in which we own directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting
power or value of the stock) hold non-“straight debt” securities that have
an aggregate value of more than 1% of the issuer’s outstanding securities.
However, “straight debt” securities include debt subject to the following
contingencies:
|
|
o
|
a
contingency relating to the time of payment of interest or principal, as
long as either (i) there is no change to the effective yield of the
debt obligation, other than a change to the annual yield that does not
exceed the greater of 0.25% or 5% of the annual yield, or
(ii) neither the aggregate issue price nor the aggregate face amount
of the issuer’s debt obligations held by us exceeds $1 million and no
more than 12 months of unaccrued interest on the debt obligations can
be required to be prepaid; and
|
|
o
|
a
contingency relating to the time or amount of payment upon a default or
prepayment of a debt obligation, as long as the contingency is consistent
with customary commercial practice.
|

Any
loan to an individual or an estate.

Any
“section 467 rental agreement,” other than an agreement with a
related party tenant.

|
Any
obligation to pay “rents from real
property.”
|
|
·
|
Certain
securities issued by governmental
entities.
|
|
·
|
Any
security issued by a REIT.
|
|
·
|
Any
debt instrument of an entity treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes to the extent of our interest as a partner in the
partnership.
|
|
·
|
Any
debt instrument of an entity treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes not described in the preceding bullet points if at least 75%
of the partnership’s gross income, excluding income from prohibited
transactions, is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income
test described above in “—Requirements for Qualification — Gross
Income Tests.”
|
|
·
|
we
satisfied the asset tests at the end of the preceding calendar
quarter; and
|
|
·
|
the
discrepancy between the value of our assets and the asset test
requirements arose from changes in the market values of our assets and was
not wholly or partly caused by the acquisition of one or more
non-qualifying assets.

the
sum of
|
|
o
|
90%
of our “REIT taxable income,” computed without regard to the dividends
paid deduction and our net capital gain or loss,
and
|
|
o
|
90%
of our after-tax net income, if any, from foreclosure property,
minus
|
|
·

sum of certain items of non-cash
income.

85%
of our REIT ordinary income for such
year,
|

|
95%
of our REIT capital gain income for such
year, and
|
|
·
|
any
undistributed taxable income from prior
periods,
|
|
·
|
Because
we may deduct capital losses only to the extent of our capital gains, we
may have taxable income that exceeds our economic
income.
|
|
·
|
We
will recognize taxable income in advance of the related cash flow if any
of our RMBS are deemed to have original issue discount. We generally must
accrue original issue discount based on a constant yield method that takes
into account projected prepayments but that defers taking into account
credit losses until they are actually
incurred.
|
|
·
|
We
may recognize taxable market discount income when we receive the proceeds
from the disposition of, or principal payments on, loans that have a
stated redemption price at maturity that is greater than our tax basis in
those loans, although such proceeds often will be used to make
non-deductible principal payments on related
borrowings.
|
|
·
|
We
may recognize taxable income without receiving a corresponding cash
distribution if we foreclose on or make a significant modification to a
loan, to the extent that the fair market value of the underlying property
or the principal amount of the modified loan, as applicable, exceeds our
basis in the original loan.
|
|
·
|
We
may recognize taxable income from any residual interests in REMICs or
retained ownership interests in mortgage loans subject to collateralized
mortgage obligation debt.

administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has
a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S.
person.
|
|
·
|
the
percentage of our dividends that the tax-exempt trust would be required to
treat as unrelated business taxable income is at least
5%;
|
|
·
|
we
qualify as a REIT by reason of the modification of the rule requiring
that no more than 50% of our stock be owned by five or fewer individuals
that allows the beneficiaries of the pension trust to be treated as
holding our stock in proportion to their actuarial interests in the
pension trust; and
|
|
·
|
either:
(i) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of our stock or
(ii) a group of pension trusts individually holding more than 10% of
the value of our stock collectively owns more than 50% of the value of our
stock.

can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile
interest rates;

available
interest rate hedging may not correspond directly with the interest rate
risk for which protection is
sought;

·
|
the
duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related
liability;

|
·
|
certain
types of hedges may expose us to risk of loss beyond the fee paid to
initiate the hedge;
|
|
·
|
the
amount of income that a REIT may earn from certain hedging transactions is
limited by federal income tax provisions governing
REITs;
|
|
·
|
the
credit quality of the counterparty on the hedge may be downgraded to such
an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the
hedging transaction; and

·
|
the
counterparty in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to
pay.

•
|
we
would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other
things, means that we would be unable to deduct distributions to
stockholders in computing taxable income and would be subject to federal
income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate
rates;
|
|
|
•
|
any
resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount
of cash available for distribution to stockholders, and could force us to
liquidate assets at inopportune times, causing lower income or higher
losses than would result if these assets were not liquidated;
and
|
|
|
•
|
unless
we were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we would
be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable
years following the year during which we lost our REIT qualification, and
our cash available for distribution to its stockholders therefore would be
reduced for each of the years in which we do not qualify as a
REIT.
