During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed a public offering of 71,300,000 shares of common stock. The estimated net proceeds of the offering, including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, were approximately $1.0 billion, net of offering expenses.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed a public offering of 58,650,000 shares of common stock. The estimated net proceeds of the offering, including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option were approximately $1.1 billion, net of offering expenses.

Michael A.J. Farrell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Annaly, commented on the quarter's results. "While the extreme market turbulence that began in August 2007 has subsided, the US economy is in a tenuous position and fixed income market conditions remain volatile. Policymakers are taking aggressive steps to stimulate the economy and calm the markets through monetary and fiscal policy actions, and financial institutions are in the process of recapitalizing, but the success of these efforts is still evolving. In these conditions, while we continue to manage our portfolio conservatively, we are pleased that we are able to continue to demonstrate the accretive impact of sequential capital raises."

For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 5.81% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance was 4.93%, which results in an interest rate spread of 0.88%. This is a 39 basis point increase over the 0.49% annualized interest rate spread for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and a 21 basis point increase over the 0.67% annualized interest rate spread for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 5.64% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance was 5.15%. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 5.84% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance was 5.17%. At December 31, 2007, the weighted average yield on assets was 5.75% and the cost of funds, including the effect of interest rate swaps, was 4.76%, which results in an interest rate spread of 0.99%. Leverage at December 31, 2007 was 8.7:1, in comparison to 10.4:1 at December 31, 2006 and 9.9:1 at September 30, 2007.

Fixed rate securities comprised 71% of the Company's portfolio at December 31, 2007. The balance of the portfolio was comprised of 21% adjustable rate mortgages and 8% LIBOR floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations. At December 31, 2007, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $16.2 billion. The Company's swaps are designated as cash flow hedges against the benchmark interest rate risk associated with the Company's borrowings. The purpose of the swaps is to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates that affect the Company's cost of funds. Since the Company will be receiving a floating rate on the notional amount of the swaps, the effect of the swaps is to lock in a spread relative to the cost of financing. The Company has continued to avoid the introduction of credit risk into its portfolio. As of December 31, 2007, substantially all of the assets in the Company's portfolio were FNMA, GNMA and FHLMC mortgage-backed securities and agency debentures, which carry an actual or implied "AAA" rating.

"The yield curve has shifted lower, which brings about opportunity as well as risk," said Wellington Denahan-Norris, Annaly's Vice Chairman, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "For example, investment opportunities for our asset class are attractive as financing spreads widen, but we continue to monitor the market for evidence of changes in prepayment behavior. We believe that our portfolio is positioned for a range of outcomes. After taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, at December 31, 2007, our portfolio of short duration assets was effectively deployed in our barbell of 40% fixed-rate, 21% adjustable-rate and 39% floating-rate exposure."
