(“ARMOUR” or the “Company”), and any other statements regarding ARMOUR’s future expectations, beliefs, goals or prospects constitute forward-looking statements made within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should also be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding the projections for ARMOUR’s business and plans for future growth and operational improvements.

This material is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any securities, financial instruments, or common or privately issued stock. The statements, information and estimates contained herein are based on information that the presenter believes to be reliable as of today's date, but cannot be represented that such statements, information or estimates are complete or accurate.

ARMOUR Portfolio & Hedge Update 3 ARMOUR has sold approximately $3 billion of 15yr MBS securities since the beginning of September 2014. These transactions will settle in November and December 2014. Therefore, these assets have been removed from the portfolio in this presentation. However, since these transactions were done on a forward settle basis and the bonds will remain on repo until they settle, they are still included in all the repo reporting herein. The swaptions detailed on page 8 all expire by October 2, 2014 and at this point it appears they will expire out of the money and worthless. As a result, we are not including them in our hedge ratio analysis. The results of these sales upon settlement and the expiration of the swaptions will effectively: • Lower our net balance sheet duration to 0.29. • Lower our leverage ratio to approximately 6.4 x vs Q2 2014 shareholder’s equity. • Change our hedge ratio against assets to 81.0%. • Change our hedge ratio against repo to 88.4%.

ARMOUR Portfolio Constant Prepayment Rates (“CPR”) 9 ARMOUR expenses premium amortization monthly as it occurs. Constant Prepayment Rate (“CPR”) is the annualized equivalent of single monthly mortality (“SMM”). CPR attempts to predict the percentage of principal that will prepay over the next twelve months based on historical principal pay downs. CPR is reported on the 4th business day of the month for the previous month's prepayment activity.
