PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Capstead Mortgage Corporation operates as a self-managed real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes (a “REIT”) and is based in Dallas, Texas. Unless the context otherwise indicates, Capstead Mortgage Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as “Capstead” or the “Company.” Capstead earns income from investing in a leveraged portfolio of residential mortgage pass-through securities consisting almost exclusively of adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) securities issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises, either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (together the “GSEs”), or by an agency of the federal government, Ginnie Mae. Agency-guaranteed mortgage pass-through securities (“Agency Securities”), carry an implied AAA rating with limited, if any, credit risk, particularly in light of government support for the GSEs.

For further discussion of the Company’s business and financial condition, see the Registrant’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 on pages 33 through 57, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Other Investment Strategies

The Company may enter into other short- or long-term investment strategies as the opportunities arise.

Competition

As a residential mortgage REIT that focuses on investing in short-duration Agency Securities, Capstead competes for the acquisition of suitable investments with other mortgage REITs, commercial banks, savings banks, insurance companies, as well as institutional investors such as private equity funds, mutual funds, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. In addition, the federal government, through the GSEs, the Federal Home Loan Banks and the Federal Reserve, continues to add to its substantial holdings of Agency Securities in order to support the housing market. Many of these entities have greater financial resources and access to capital than the Company. Increased competition for the acquisition of Agency Securities can result in higher pricing levels for such assets. Although higher pricing levels generally correspond to a higher book value per common share for the Company, higher pricing levels also generally result in lower portfolio yields, which could adversely affect future profitability.

Further, the policy goals of the federal government may differ from the economic goals of other investors in Agency Securities. For instance, the Federal Reserve is scheduled to conclude its $1.25 trillion Agency Security acquisition program by March 31, 2010 which could decrease demand for these securities resulting in lower pricing levels. Although this may result in an opportunity to acquire assets at more attractive yields, the Company’s book value per common share could be negatively affected.

Regulation and Related Matters

Operating as a REIT that primarily invests in financial assets subjects the Company to various federal regulatory requirements. For further discussion, see the Registrant’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 on pages 52 through 55, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 13 full-time employees and three part-time employees.
