Exhibit 99.1

BIMINI MORTGAGE MANAGEMENT, INC.
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

VERO BEACH, Fla. (July 25, 2005) — Bimini Mortgage Management, Inc. (NYSE:BMM), a real estate investment trust that invests primarily in residential mortgage-related securities, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005.

For the second quarter, the Company recorded net income of $8.2 million or $0.39 per diluted Class A Common Share. Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) rules require the Company to pay out at least 90% of its taxable earnings in the form of dividends annually. The approximate taxable income for the quarter, as well as dividends paid for the quarter, were $0.40 per share. Residential Mortgage Backed Security Real Estate Investment Trust equity analysts use return on equity as a measurement standard. Annualized return on equity for the quarter, based on the book value of $12.83 per Class A Common Share outstanding at June 30, 2005, and incorporating the year-to-date dividend of $0.93, was 14.5%. The annualized return on equity as calculated by using the annualized rate of the second quarter taxable earnings was 12.5%. Return on equity determined on a taxable income basis is not a financial measure required by generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company has included this information because it believes that it provides comparability among other publicly traded mortgage REITs.  In addition, management uses taxable income as a basis to pay cash dividends to the Company’s stockholders.

Commenting on the results, Jeffrey J. Zimmer, president and chief executive officer, said, “The Bimini Board of Directors is pleased to be able to continue to pay favorable dividends and achieve annualized double-digit investment returns on equity. The Company also experienced significant growth in its total assets during the second quarter of 2005 as a result of issuing $50 million in trust preferred securities through Bimini Capital Trust I. However, the second quarter was a period when very short-term rates went up, resulting in lower net interest income compared with the first quarter of 2005. The Company began over a year ago to take steps to mitigate the continued impact of further interest rate movements initiated by the Federal Reserve by adding a greater proportion of adjustable-rate securities to the portfolio.  But there is no assurance that net interest spreads will not be compressed further.”

As of June 30, 2005, the Company held $3.9 billion of mortgage-backed securities at fair value. Interest income was $36.7 million and interest expense was $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2005.  As of June 30, 2005, the weighted average yield on assets was

3.81% and the weighted average borrowing cost was 3.14%.  The weighted average constant prepayment rate for the portfolio was

28.4% for June 2005.  The effective duration of the portfolio at the end of the second quarter was 0.57.

“As of June 30, 2005, we had 19 master repurchase agreements with various investment banking firms and other lenders and outstanding balances of $3.7 billion under 14 of these agreements,” Mr. Zimmer added. “For more details about our assets and liabilities, please see our 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which we filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.”
