PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Capstead Mortgage Corporation (“Capstead,” the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was incorporated on April 15, 1985 in Maryland and commenced operations in September 1985. Capstead operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) earning income from investing in real estate-related assets on a leveraged basis and other investment strategies. These investments primarily consist of, but are not limited to, financial assets, specifically residential adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) securities issued by government-sponsored entities, either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae (“Agency Securities”). Capstead has also made limited investments in credit-sensitive commercial mortgage assets including the direct ownership of real estate. Management believes that such investments, when available at attractive prices and combined with the prudent use of leverage, can provide attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term with relatively low sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

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, 2004 on pages 30 through 51, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Policies

Under the captions “Effects of Interest Changes,” “Risks Associated with Credit-Sensitive Investments,” “Risks Associated with Owning Real Estate,” “Regulatory Matters” and “Critical Accounting Policies” on pages 42 through 50 of the Registrant’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2004 which is incorporated herein by reference, are discussions of risk factors and critical accounting policies affecting Capstead’s financial condition and results of operations that are an integral part of this discussion and analysis. Readers are strongly urged to consider the potential impact of these factors and accounting policies on the Company while reading this document.

Other Investment Strategies

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

Competition

In purchasing real estate-related assets, the Company competes with others in the real estate and banking industries including REITs, savings banks, commercial banks, mortgage and investment bankers, conduits, insurance companies, other lenders, other real estate investors and mutual funds.

Regulation and Related Matters

Ownership of real estate subjects the Company to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements including those concerned with environmental matters. For further discussion, see the Registrant’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2004 on pages 46 through 49, which is incorporated herein by reference.
