Why Merge with OFS

 

                  Decrease Reliance of RMBS Portfolio Arbitrage on Federal Reserve Rate Decisions

 

                  Diversify Sources of Revenue

 

                  High Teens ROE Potential is Accretive to REIT Investment Opportunities

 

                  New Peer Group Stock Prices Trade at Higher Multiples to Book

 

                  Executive Expertise

 

                  Portfolio Management

 

                  Liquidity Management

 

                  Mortgage Banking

 

                  Companies that can Effectively Manage all Three Facets of the Mortgage Business have Historically had Stock Prices which Trade at Higher Multiples

 

                  Origination Synergies

 

                  OFS is Nearing the Point in Their Lifecycle where Cash Flow from Operations are Sufficient to Sustain Organic Growth while the Mortgage Banking Business Cycle is at a Point where Originators Trade at Lower Multiples — Thus Providing an Ideal Entry Point for Opteum

Corporate Mission and the Merger

 

a. Thousand Employees Working as One

 

12



 

Corporate Mission & Long Term Goal

 

Our Corporate Mission:

 

                  Provide Superior Returns to our Shareholders.

 

If we achieve our Corporate Mission, we will be able to achieve our Corporate Long Term Goal.

 

Our Corporate Long Term Goal:

 

                  Attract, Retain, and Grow Equity Capital.

 

That simple Corporate Mission and Long Term Goal can only be successfully achieved if our entire enterprise – every associate - embraces the same Corporate Principles. The Principles are also simple, but must be rigorously applied to achieve the Corporate Mission and Long Term Goal. Quite simply, our success will depend on all of us applying these principles.

 

13



 

Corporate Principles

 

1.               We will always have an uncompromising determination to be guided by integrity and by what serves our customers and investors best.

 

2.               We will always strive to exceed our customers and investors expectations.

 

3.               We will always strive to achieve excellence in everything we do – both inside and outside the enterprise.

 

4.               We will always recognize that diversity is not optional and is inherent in everything we do.

 

5.               We will always have the uncompromising conviction that our associates are our most important asset.

 

6.               We will always ensure an entrepreneurial environment that will create innovative solutions for new as well as existing challenges.

 

7.               We will always ensure a performance reward system which recognizes important contributions and enables us to attract and retain the best associates.

 

8.               We will always remember that we are a team and that personal agendas are left at home. Any associate who puts their personal interests ahead of the interest of our investors, customers, and the company will no longer be part of the team.

 

9.               We will always invest in the most innovative technology to enhance every associate’s ability to perform most efficiently and with a competitive advantage.

 

10.         We will always remember that our reputation is as dear as our investors’ capital and our customer relationships.

 

11.         Best Practices is a life time commitment to always do what is right.

 

12.         We will always be committed to Think like an Investor and Act like an Owner. We will always encourage associates to be owners, which results in a further alignment with our investors and customers.

Studying the Opteum Business Model

 

                  “Best Practices” – OPX Founders Took Two Years Researching the Sector Prior to Completing Business Plan

                  Identify “Best Practices”

                  Clarify “Not-So Best Practices”

 

                  Biggest Strength

                  Permanent Equity to Invest in Fixed Income Instruments

                  Stock price can go down but that does not force the investment manager to sell assets

                  Hedge fund investors often times withdraw their funds at precisely the moment when they should be buying, forcing the hedge fund manager to sell at the wrong time

 

                  Biggest Weakness

                  Event Risk

                  Margin Call

 

22



 

How does Opteum Effectively Address Weaknesses in the Business

Model & Make the RMBS REIT Business Model Better?

 

A.     Clearly Defined Investment Objectives (Balancing the Two)

 

                  Book Value Preservation

                  Avoid Permanent Losses (NLY, LUM, MFA, FBR)

                  Grow Book Value

 

                  Stable Returns Over Time

                  Large Percentage of Shareholders Buy REITs for the Dividend Income

 

B.     Avoid Event Risk

 

                  Event Risk Scenarios Manifest Themselves through Margin Calls

                  Major Price Movements

                  Very High Prepayments

                  Spread Widening

                  Reduction in the Availability of Credit

 

23



 

Making The Business Model Better

 

1.                   Cash Management and Committed Funding Agreements

 

2.                   True Quantitative Risk Management

 

3.                   Diversification: Portfolio is Diversified across Five Classes of Short-Duration Low Price Volatility Agency Mortgage Related Assets

 

4.                   Loan Level Detail Analysis

 

5.                   Full Transparency

 

6.                   Repo and Settlement Outsourcing

 

7.                   Low General & Administrative Expense Ratio

 

8.                   Application of Best Practices

 

24



 

Making the RMBS REIT Business Model Better

 

1.      Cash Management and Committed Funding Agreements

 

                  40% (or more) of Book Equity Cash Available Prior to Monthly Bond Factor and Prepayment Release

                  Current Portfolio Generates Approximately $90 to $130 Million a Month in Cash Flow

                  Substantial Borrowing Lines (Approximately $14 billion in Repo Lines)

                  Committed Borrowing Lines

                  $1.85 Billion, 364-Day Committed Repo Lines with Three Banks

 

                  Principal Prepayment Margin Call Waiver

                  $100 Million Allocation of a $1 Billion facility

 

2.      True Quantitative Risk Management

 

                  Risk Based Capital Allocation Model

                  Patterned after Risk-Based Capital Guidelines Established by Basel Accords

                  Risk Profile of the Portfolio Drives Leverage Ratio

                  Asset Allocation Model used to Construct Target Portfolio

                  Target Portfolio Allocations is Fine Tuned by Management

                  All of these Tools are Used on an Ongoing Basis to Monitor the Risk Profile, Guide the Leverage Ratio and Determine Asset Allocations

 

25



 

3.                 Diversification

 

                  Portfolio is Diversified across Various Types of Short-Duration, Low Price Volatility Agency Mortgage Related Assets (see 8K)

                  Agency Assets offer Greatest Liquidity

                  Maintain Low Duration

                  Opteum Acquisition is an Extension of Diversification Model

 

                  Diversification Limits Income Volatility & Book Value Event Risk

                  Prepayments, Spread/Price Changes & Retrospective Method of Accounting

 

4.                 Loan Level Detail Analysis

 

                  CPR & CDR Technologies

                  Providers of ongoing loan level detail

 

                  Inelastic Borrowers

                  Prepay within a tighter range of expectations

                  Pay higher rates (higher coupon income for Opteum)

 

                  Top of the “Pear Tree” – pick the borrower who is least likely to refinance

                  Weakness in the Performance of Hybrid Mortgages

                  It is the Investment of Choice for Much of the Sector

 

26



 

5.                 Full Transparency

 

                  OPX Releases its Portfolio and Liabilities at Least Every Six Weeks

                  Credit officers always know what Opteum owns

                  Lenders take great comfort in knowing Opteum ‘s financial condition

                  Investors take comfort in knowing Opteum is willing to show all that they own and what they have borrowed

                  Top of the “Pear Tree” – be the firm the creditors are least likely to worry about in a financial crisis situation

 

6.                 Repo and Settlement Outsourcing

                  AVM, LP and III Associates

                  In-house (Opteum) Liability Management with Outsourcing Execution

                  Improves Repo Pricing

                  Maximizes Settlement Efficiency and Reliability

                  All Counter-Party Relationships in Opteum’s name

                  Efficient use of Reverse Margin Calls enables Opteum to Maintain Accurate Leverage Levels

                  AVM can Regularly Deliver a Cost Advantage over Prime Brokerage in Repo Transactions

                  No Custodian Set up Fee and Small Ongoing Fees

                  Diversified (19) Repurchase Counter Parties

 

27



 

7.                 Low General and Administrative Expense Ratio

 

                  Low cost producers in most industries have the best chance of longevity

 

                  General Administrative Expenses historically have been 18 bp’s of Assets (excluding fees for independent directors)

 

8.      Application of Best Practices

 

                  Early Dividend Payment Dates and Early 10K and 10Q Releases

 

                  Board of Directors – Independent & Experienced

                  See Company Website (www.opteum.com ) for Board Member and Senior Management Biographies

 

                  Board Members and Senior Management Have Purchased Over $4,000,000 of Company Stock During Various Equity Offerings and in the Open Market

                  Through 2005, all Independent Board Members have Received all Board Compensation in Stock

See following page for a more detailed explanation

 

43



 

GAAP

 

                  Opteum and OFS no longer exist as stand alone entities for financial reporting purposes.

                  Financial data will now be presented as a combined entity.

 

                  For GAAP purposes inter-company transactions (such as the loan to OFS and the interest paid and received on the loan) will not be presented.

 

                  In order for Opteum to be able to pay OFS earnings out as dividends to Opteum shareholders, OFS must pay cash to Opteum in the form of dividends.

 

TAX

 

                  Opteum and OFS will each file their own separate tax return.

 

                  Inter-company transactions will be included, for tax purposes.

 

                  OFS may deduct amounts as interest expense to Opteum on their tax return only if those amounts are paid in cash.

 

                  Opteum may accrue amounts as interest income from OFS whether they are paid in cash or not.

 

                  Opteum will report cash earnings up-streamed from OFS as income on their tax return as well as deduct OFS dividends paid out to shareholders as part of the “Dividends Paid” deduction on its tax return.

Corporate Achievements and

Disappointments in 2005

 

47



 

2005 Corporate Achievements

 

                  Opteum Acquisition

                  Book value price when Opteum peers are trading at large premiums.

                  Only paid for the “assets” – servicing and residuals. The mortgage bank was essentially “free”.

                  High teens ROE potential.

                  Solid senior management team with very loyal employees.

                  Increases OPX’s diversity of assets strategy.

                  Reduces dependence on just “spread income” and Fed rate moves.

                  Great growth opportunities.

                  $100 Million Principal Pre-Payment Margin Waiver Agreement & Committed Facilities

                  This is the first of its kind. We cannot find anyone who has seen this implemented before.

                  Currently provides an average of $42M ($29M-$52M) a month in excess liquidity.

                  Able to maintain higher leverage on fast paying assets (ARM’s) and achieve a higher ROE.

                  The only company in the current peer group to have committed borrowing facilities.

                  The whole facility totals $1.85 Billion.

                  Aggressive haircuts and rates.

                  Operating Achievements

                  Highest ROE of the peer group (12.2%), which is over 250bp above the next highest in peer group.

                  REIT made money in every quarter despite a 325bp increase in federal funds rate sine 6/30/2004.

                  No permanent losses taken in 2005 (four members of RMBS peer group have taken losses).

                  Operated REIT G&A expenses at 18bp’s since inception.

                  Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Compliant.

                  The October 2005 $50 million issuance of Trust Preferred debt was done 50 bp’s inside any other quote we could get and those quotes were not “firm”.

 

48



 

2005 Corporate Disappointments

 

                  Despite having the lowest duration of the peer group every reporting period in 2005, OPX’s book value decreased the most in the group.

 

                  The stock price performance was very negative for the year.

 

                  The stock market has not yet recognized the value of the Opteum merger.
