Orchid Island Capital
On February 20, 2013, Orchid completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), selling 2,360,000 shares of its common stock for proceeds of $35.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Orchid completed two secondary offerings of its common stock. Subsequent to Orchid’s IPO and as of March 31, 2014, management has concluded, pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, that Orchid is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) because Orchid’s equity holders lack the ability through voting rights to make decisions about the activities that have a significant effect on the success of Orchid. Management has also concluded that Bimini Capital is the primary beneficiary of Orchid because, under the management agreement between Bimini Advisors, LLC (“Bimini Advisors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bimini, and Orchid, Bimini Capital has the power to direct the activities of Orchid that most significantly impact its economic performance. As a result, subsequent to Orchid’s IPO and through March 31, 2014, the Company has continued to consolidate Orchid in its consolidated financial statements even though, as of March 31, 2014, Bimini owned 11.4% of the outstanding common stock of Orchid.
The noncontrolling interests reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements represent the portion of equity ownership in Orchid held by stockholders other than Bimini Capital. Noncontrolling interests in Orchid are presented in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, separate from equity attributed to Bimini Capital. Net income of Orchid is allocated between the noncontrolling interests and to Bimini Capital in proportion to their relative ownership interests in Orchid.
The consolidation of Orchid’s assets and liabilities with those of Bimini Capital and its wholly-owned subsidiaries gives the appearance of a much larger organization. However, the assets recognized as a result of consolidating Orchid do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against Bimini Capital’s assets, nor do they represent amounts that are available to be distributed to Bimini Capital’s stockholders. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating Orchid do not represent additional claims on Bimini Capital’s assets; rather, they represent claims against the assets of Orchid. In addition to the presentation of the Company’s consolidated portfolio activities, we have also provided additional discussion related to the portfolio activities of Bimini Capital on its own. We believe that this “parent-only” information along with the consolidated presentation provides useful information to the shareholders of Bimini Capital.

The tables below present the allocation of capital between the respective portfolios at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the return on invested capital for each sub-portfolio for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014. Capital allocation is defined as the sum of the market value of securities held, less associated repurchase agreement borrowings, plus cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash associated with repurchase agreements. Capital allocated to non-portfolio assets is not included in the calculation.
On a consolidated basis, the returns on invested capital in the PT MBS and structured MBS portfolios were approximately 18.9% and 0.0%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014. The combined portfolio generated a return on invested capital of approximately 9.1%. Due to the two secondary offerings completed by Orchid during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the capital allocated to the respective portfolios increased by over 100%. Accordingly, returns generated based on the beginning of period capital should be viewed in light of the significant increase in capital during the quarter. We have added the return on average capital deployed to address this issue.
For parent-only, the returns on invested capital in the PT MBS and structured MBS portfolios were approximately 11.3% and (6.3)%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014. The combined portfolio generated a return on invested capital of approximately 6.8%.

At March 31, 2014, total cash has been reduced by unsettled security purchases of approximately $39.5 million.

Amount excludes restricted cash of $102,830 and $111,540 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, related to trust preferred debt funding hedges.

(3)
|
At March 31, 2014, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of $6.0 million and $5.4 million secured by interest-only and inverse interest-only securities, respectively. At December 31, 2013, there were outstanding repurchase agreement balances of $3.6 million and $3.0 million secured by interest-only and inverse interest-only securities, respectively. We entered into these arrangements to generate additional cash to invest in pass-through MBS strategy; therefore we have not considered these balances to be allocated to the structured securities strategy.

Effective duration is the approximate percentage change in price for a 100 basis point change in rates. An effective duration of 3.881 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.881% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2014. An effective duration of 4.116 indicates that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 4.116% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2013. These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio but not the effect of the Company’s funding cost hedges.

Financing, Leverage and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $712.6 million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 0.35%. These agreements were collateralized by MBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $756.2 million. The Company’s leverage ratio at March 31, 2014 was 7.5 to 1, excluding the $39.5 million of payable for unsettled securities purchased at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s liquidity was approximately $67.1 million, consisting of unpledged MBS (excluding the value of the unsettled purchases) and cash and cash equivalents.
As of March 31, 2014, the Parent had outstanding repurchase obligations of approximately $61.4 million with a net weighted average borrowing rate of 0.36%. These agreements were collateralized by MBS with a fair value, including accrued interest, of approximately $64.5 million. At March 31, 2014, the Parent’s liquidity was approximately $4.5 million, consisting of unpledged MBS and cash and cash equivalents.
To enhance our liquidity further, we may pledge more of our structured MBS as part of a repurchase agreement funding, but retain cash in lieu of acquiring additional assets. In this way, we can, at a modest cost, retain higher levels of cash on hand and decrease the likelihood we will have to sell assets in a distressed market in order to raise cash.

Hedging
In connection with its interest rate risk management strategy, the Company economically hedges a portion of the cost of its repurchase agreement funding and also its junior subordinated notes by entering into derivative financial instrument contracts. The Company has not elected hedging treatment under GAAP, and as such all gains or losses on these instruments are reflected in earnings for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2014, such instruments were comprised of Eurodollar futures contracts and an interest rate swaption agreement.

Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Bimini Capital made no dividend distributions. All distributions are made at the discretion of Bimini Capital’s Board of Directors and will depend on its results of operations, financial condition, maintenance of REIT status, availability of net operating losses and other factors that may be deemed relevant. In August 2011, Bimini Capital announced that it would suspend its quarterly dividend and no distributions have been made since. Bimini Capital continues to evaluate its dividend payment policy. However, as more fully described below, due to net operating losses incurred in prior periods, it is unlikely to declare and pay dividends to stockholders until such net operating losses have been consumed.
REIT Taxable Income and Net Operating Losses
REIT taxable income (loss) is a term that describes Bimini Capital's operating results calculated in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. Bimini Capital’s REIT taxable income (loss) is computed differently from net income or loss as computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as reported in its consolidated financial statements. Depending on the number and size of the various items or transactions being accounted for differently, the differences between REIT taxable income or loss and GAAP net income or loss can be substantial and each item can affect several reporting periods. Generally, these items are timing or temporary differences between years; for example, an item that may be a deduction for GAAP net income/loss in the current year may not be a deduction for REIT taxable income/loss until a later year.
In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, Bimini Capital is generally required (among other things) to annually distribute dividends to its stockholders in an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income. Additionally, as a REIT, Bimini Capital may be subject to a federal excise tax if it distributes less than 85% of its REIT taxable income by the end of the calendar year. Accordingly, Bimini Capital’s dividends are generally based on REIT taxable income, as determined for federal income tax purposes, as opposed to its net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Dividends are paid if, when, and as declared by the Board of Directors.
As described above, a REIT may be subject to a federal excise tax if it distributes less than 85% of its REIT taxable income by the end of a calendar year. In calculating the amount of excise tax payable in a given year, if any, Bimini Capital reduces REIT taxable income by distributions made to stockholders in the form of dividends and/or net operating losses (“NOL’s”) carried-over from prior years, to the extent any are available. Since income subject to excise tax is REIT taxable income less qualifying dividends and the application of NOL’s, if a REIT has sufficient NOL’s it could apply such NOL’s against its taxable income and avoid excise taxes without paying qualifying dividends to stockholders. Accordingly, if in future periods Bimini Capital has taxable income, it can avoid the obligation to pay excise taxes by applying the estimated $17.9 million of NOL’s available as of December 31, 2013 against such taxable income until the NOL’s are exhausted in lieu of making distributions to stockholders. Further, Bimini Capital could avoid the obligation to pay excise taxes through a combination of qualifying dividends and the application of NOL’s. In any case, future distributions to stockholders are expected to be less than REIT taxable income until the existing NOL’s are consumed.
Book Value Per Share
The Company's Book Value Per Share at March 31, 2014 was $0.28. The Company computes Book Value Per Share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of shares outstanding of the Company's Class A Common Stock. At March 31, 2014, the Company's consolidated equity was $98.5 million inclusive of noncontrolling interests of $95.2 million, with 12,267,651 Class A Common shares outstanding.

Management Commentary
Commenting on the first quarter, Robert E. Cauley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The events that unfolded in 2013, starting with the initial hints by the Federal Reserve in the late spring of 2013 that they would begin to taper their asset purchases, and ending with the December 2013 announcement of the reduced purchases beginning in January 2014, resulted in interest rates at the end of 2013 well above the levels seen at the beginning of the year. Prices of most fixed rate mortgage backed securities were down sharply on the year, premiums for call protected securities collapsed and prepayment speeds slowed appreciably - with the mortgage bankers refinancing index falling from over 5,000 late in 2012 to under 1,500 in December of 2013. Harsh winter weather conditions are widely considered to have led to depressed economic data around year end and into the first quarter of 2014. The weak economic data observed caused the market to rally sharply in January as the yield on the ten year treasury rallied from just over 3.0% at year-end 2013 to under 2.60% in early February. Since then the market has settled into a well-defined range as the yield of the ten year note has hovered between 2.60% and 2.80% for the past 15 weeks. Volatility in the market has come off as expected and prepayment speeds – as measured by the MBS conventional refinancing index - have stayed at or below 1,500 all year. This leads to a very conducive market for MBS investing and coupon clipping. This has occurred in the face of reduced purchases by the Federal Reserve. With refinancing activity very low, supply of MBS has decreased accordingly and the reduced demand on the part of the Federal Reserve has not had the impact on MBS spreads many feared. With the ultimate end of MBS purchases by the Federal Reserve clearly in sight, most multi-sector fixed income investors are underweight in their allocations to Agency MBS. The resulting selling has had some impact on MBS spreads, as the conventional 30 year fixed rate current coupon mortgage trades at a wider spread to 10 year swaps than it did at the beginning of the year. However, the reduced supply of MBS has kept this spread from widening further. Market participants are currently split on what the eventual end of Federal Reserve purchases will mean for MBS prices, but we think the current underweight by multi-sector fixed income investors will lead to buying when and if MBS spreads widen as Federal Reserve purchases stop. Accordingly, we do not anticipate meaningful widening absent another external event.
“Turning now to the results for the quarter, our performance is dominated by the results of Orchid Island Capital. As you know, Bimini had invested $15 million of our capital into Orchid prior to its IPO in February 2013. The Orchid portfolio is managed in the same manner and with the same focus as the Bimini portfolio. Orchid completed two capital raises during the first quarter of 2014 and now the portfolio and results of Orchid dominate our reported results even more. At March 31, 2014, $747.8 million of the $813.5 million MBS portfolio belongs to Orchid. For the quarter, Orchid generated approximately $3.6 million of the $5.3 million consolidated net income, of which approximately $3.0 million is attributable to non-controlling interests. As the external manager of Orchid, Bimini, through Bimini Advisors, earned approximately $0.3 million of management fees. However, under GAAP these fees are eliminated in consolidation.

“With respect to the portfolio of Bimini, we added to the pass-through sub-portfolio and it increased from $36.3 million at December 31, 2013 to $64.3 million at March 31, 2014. We purchased fixed rate, 30 year MBS with a value of $42.0 million and sold hybrid ARMS with a market value of $13.8 million. The capital allocation to the pass-through sub-portfolio is now 80.1% versus 74.5% at December 31, 2013. Also, fixed rate MBS now comprise 96.7% of our MBS assets. There were no purchases or sales of structured securities. Run-off of the structured securities portfolio was approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. As for returns, with rates decreasing over the course of the quarter the realized and unrealized gains for the combined portfolio were a positive $0.2 million. Our structured securities, owing to their still high prepayment rates, generated negative interest income, as they have since fall 2012. The pass-through sub-portfolio generated an 11.3% return for the quarter and the structured portfolio generated a negative return for the quarter of (6.3%). The two portfolios combined generated a positive return on invested capital of 6.8% for the quarter – not annualized. With respect to the balance of our results, the retained interests of our former mortgage company were marked up by approximately $0.2 million for the quarter. We also recorded an income tax benefit of $2.2 million, primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of our wholly-owned TRS, Bimini Advisors, the manager of Orchid. The valuation allowances were released due to increases in our taxable income projections of Bimini Advisors as a result of Orchid’s two capital raises during the first quarter of 2014, thereby increasing the likelihood Bimini Advisors will be able to utilize the deferred tax assets. Please see note 12 to the financial statements in our Form 10-Q for a full description of this deferred tax benefit.
Going forward we anticipate prepayment speeds will remain low and rates to gradually increase as the economy recovers. The curve is likely to continue to flatten as the market anticipates the eventual beginning of rate increases by the Federal Reserve.”
