Management Overview

Steven Mumma, NYMT's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented: "The Company's investment portfolio continued to perform well in the most recently completed quarter as the Company generated net income per share of $0.29. The Company's earnings during the quarter benefitted from improved demand for credit assets that has continued to move valuations on our credit-sensitive assets higher, as well as sale and refinancing activities in our distressed residential loan portfolio, which generated approximately $8 million in gains during the quarter. The sale and refinancing of residential distressed loans is a key component of our strategy and we expect that this activity will be conducted on a more regular basis throughout the balance of the year. As has been the case in recent months, demand for credit assets has continued to exceed the supply of these types of assets and this trend has favorably impacted our investment portfolio during recent quarters. We believe our portfolio is well-positioned to continue to deliver solid earnings and a stable book value throughout 2014."

"During the first four months of this year, the Company has successfully completed two separate capital raises, with the most recent offering completed in early April, generating estimated aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $185.7 million. Consistent with our portfolio strategy, we have invested or intend to invest these proceeds in primarily credit sensitive assets, including distressed residential loans and mezzanine loans to or preferred equity investments in owners of multi-family properties. As we move forward in fiscal 2014, we will continue to pursue additional investment in credit assets that we believe will provide us with attractive, risk-adjusted returns and alternative financing sources that reduce or eliminate counterparty risk."

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $21.3 million as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $15.4 million for the same period in 2013. The main components of the change in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013 are detailed in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2014	2013	$ Change
Net interest income	$ 19,825	$ 12,984	$ 6,841
Total other income	$ 13,475	$ 6,466	$ 7,009
Total general, administrative and other expenses	$ 7,559	$ 3,936	$ 3,623
Income from operations before income taxes	$ 25,741	$ 15,514	$ 10,227
Income tax expense	$ 3,030	$ 131	$ 2,899
Net income	$ 22,711	$ 15,383	$ 7,328
Preferred stock dividends	$ (1,453)	—	$ (1,453)
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$ 21,258	$ 15,383	$ 5,875
Basic income per common share	$ 0.29	$ 0.31	$ (0.02)
Diluted income per common share	$ 0.29	$ 0.31	$ (0.02)

In general, the significant increases in a number of the line items set forth above is largely a function of the growth in the Company's stockholders' equity from $328.4 million as of March 31, 2013 to $565.8 million as of March 31, 2014 and the corresponding growth in the size of the Company's portfolio of interest earning assets, combined with high demand for many credit sensitive assets, such as our multi-family CMBS, which has favorably impacted the valuation of these assets, and greater sale and refinancing activity in our distressed residential loan portfolio, which resulted in a realized gain of $8.2 million. The increase in tax expense was primarily due to the increase in realized gains resulting from loan sales in our distressed loan portfolio, as loan sale activity is transacted in a taxable REIT subsidiary for REIT compliance purposes and accordingly, is subject to federal, state and local taxes.

Net Interest Income / Interest Earning Assets

The significant increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is directly attributable to the growth in our average interest earning assets, which increased by $186.1 million at March 31, 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. During the past year, the Company increasingly allocated capital to credit sensitive, higher yielding investments and allocated less capital to its Agency RMBS portfolio, which is lower-yielding. As of March 31, 2014, 61% of the Company's capital was allocated to investments in multi-family CMBS, other multi-family investments and distressed residential loans, up from 48% at March 31, 2013. This selective allocation of capital favorably impacted net interest margin in recent quarters, including the first quarter of 2014. In addition, the first quarter of 2014 was also favorably impacted by a slowdown in prepayment rates in our Agency RMBS and Agency IO portfolios as compared to our prepayment experience in 2013 (See table below). The combination of investment allocation to credit sensitive assets and decreased prepayment rates resulted in a 91 basis point increase in net interest spread when comparing the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2013.

The following table sets forth the net interest spread for our portfolio of interest earning assets by quarter for the five most recently completed quarters, excluding the costs of our subordinated debentures:

		Weighted
	Average	Average
	Interest	Yield
	Earning	on Interest		Net
	Assets ($	Earning	Cost of	Interest

March 31, 2013⁽¹⁾	$ 1,446.1	4.86%	1.38%	3.48%

⁽¹⁾Average Interest Earning Assets for the quarter excludes all Consolidated K-Series assets other than those securities issued by the securitizations comprising the Consolidated K-Series that are actually owned by us.
⁽²⁾Our Average Interest Earning Assets is calculated each quarter as the daily average balance of our Interest Earning Assets for the quarter, excluding unrealized gains and losses.
⁽³⁾Our Weighted Average Yield on Interest Earning Assets was calculated by dividing our annualized interest income from Interest Earning Assets for the quarter by our average Interest Earning Assets for the quarter.
⁽⁴⁾Our Cost of Funds was calculated by dividing our annualized interest expense from our Interest Earning Assets for the quarter by our average financing arrangements, portfolio investments, Residential CDOs and Securitized Debt for the quarter. Our cost of funds includes the impact of our liability interest rate hedging activities.
⁽⁵⁾Net Interest Spread is the difference between our Weighted Average Yield on Interest Earning Assets and our Cost of Funds.

Prepayment History

Prepayment rates decreased significantly in the first quarter of 2014 and fourth quarter 2013 as compared to previous periods favorably impacting the net interest spread of the portfolio. The following table sets forth the actual CPRs for selected asset classes, by quarter, for the periods indicated below:

						Weighted

		Agency		Non-		for
	Agency	Fixed	Agency	Agency	Residential	Overall

March 31, 2013	20.8%	3.8%	21.6%	15.9%	10.2%	12.9%

Other Income

Total other income increased by $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The changes in total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 were primarily driven by:

an increase in realized gains on distressed residential mortgage loans of $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The realized gains are derived from loan refinancings, workouts and resales, with the majority of the realized income on these assets in the first quarter of 2014 from loan resales.
a decrease in net unrealized gains on multi-family loans and debt held in securitization trusts of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to a less favorable credit spread environment for our multi-family CMBS investments during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013; and
an increase in realized gain on investment securities and related hedges of $5.2 million partially offset by an increase in unrealized loss on investment securities and related hedges of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2013, which is primarily related to our Agency IO portfolio. The Agency IO portfolio performed better in the first quarter of 2014 due to lower interest rate volatility and improved IO pricing as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Comparative Expenses (dollar amounts in thousands)

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
General, Administrative and Other Expenses	2014	2013	$ Change
Salaries, benefits and directors' compensation	$ 1,050	$ 597	$ 453
Professional fees	891	680	211
Base management and incentive fees	3,778	1,555	2,223
Expenses on distressed residential mortgage loans	1,212	432	780
Other	628	672	(44)
Total	$ 7,559	$ 3,936	$ 3,623

The increase in general, administrative and other expenses was largely attributable to the increase in management fees, expenses related to our distressed residential mortgage loan investments and salaries, benefits and directors' compensation. The increase in base management and incentive fees was driven in large part by the increase in assets managed by our external managers, which closely corresponds to the growth in our stockholders' equity since the first quarter of 2013, and the performance of the assets they manage for us during the period, which resulted in incentive fees earned. The increase in expenses related to distressed residential mortgage loans is due to the significant increase in our investment in this asset class as compared to the same period in 2013. The distressed residential mortgage loan strategy typically has a higher cost, as loan servicing and resolution processing on distressed loans is more operationally intensive than performing loans. The increase in salaries, benefits and directors' compensation can be attributed to internalization of the Company's accounting function.
