Fourth quarter 2011 was negatively impacted by a net unrealized decline in fair value of $65.6 million on the Company's non-Agency portfolio partially offset by a net unrealized increase in fair value on its Agency portfolio.

Other Key Metrics
Two Harbors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The annualized dividend yield on the Company's common stock for the fourth quarter, based on the December 31, 2011 closing price of $9.24, was 17.3%.
The Company's book value per diluted share, after giving effect to the fourth quarter 2011 dividend of $0.40, was $9.03 as of December 31, 2011, compared to $9.30 as of September 30, 2011. The Company's book value for the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily impacted by fair value deterioration in its non-Agency portfolio partially offset by fair value gains on its Agency portfolio.

Portfolio Summary
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the annualized yield on average RMBS and Agency Derivatives was 4.8% and the annualized cost of funds on the average borrowings, which includes net interest rate spread expense on interest rate swaps, was 1.0%. This resulted in a net interest rate spread of 3.8%, a decline from 4.2% in the prior quarter. This decline was primarily due to a lower yield on the Agency portfolio compared to the prior quarter. As of December 31, 2011, the Company's total debt-to-equity ratio, including U.S. Treasuries, was 5.2 times. The Company reported debt-to-equity, defined as total borrowings to fund RMBS, Agency Derivatives, and residential mortgage loans divided by total equity, of 4.5:1.0 and 4.4:1.0 at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
The Company's portfolio is principally composed of RMBS available-for-sale securities and Agency Derivatives. As of December 31, 2011, the total value of the portfolio was $6.4 billion, of which approximately $5.2 billion was Agency RMBS and Derivatives and $1.2 billion was non-Agency RMBS. As of December 31, 2011, fixed-rate securities composed 78.4% of the Company's portfolio and adjustable-rate securities composed 21.6% of the Company's portfolio, which are comparable percentages to the prior quarter. In addition, the Company held $1.0 billion of U.S. Treasuries classified on its balance sheet as trading securities as of December 31, 2011, compared to $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2011.

Business Diversification
The Company has announced further diversification of its business, as follows:
Asset Securitization Program
In May 2011, the Company announced its plan to set up an asset securitization program, targeting $250 million as its first securitization. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $5.8 million in loans classified on the balance sheet as mortgage loans held-for-sale. Mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at fair value as a result of a fair value option election, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Fair value is generally determined based on current secondary market pricing and cash flow models using market-based yield requirements. These models also include unobservable market data inputs and, as a result, are classified as Level 3 fair value assets. The entire $5.8 million in mortgage loans held-for-sale were pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements totaling $5.3 million as of December 31, 2011. There was no material impact to the Company's financial results in the fourth quarter related to the asset securitization. The Company will draw on its strength in credit analysis for this program and will continue to grow this business in an opportunistic manner.
Real Property Investment
Recently, the Company announced a further diversification of its business model related to the acquisition of single family residential real properties in certain metropolitan areas across the United States. The Company intends to hold the properties for investment and rent them for income. The Company did not own any properties as of December 31, 2011 and does not expect its investment in residential real property to represent a significant portion of its assets or to have a material impact on its operations or financial condition in the first quarter of 2012.
Share Repurchase Plan
On October 5, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10 million shares of its common stock. The shares may be repurchased from time to time through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, or by any combination of such methods. At this time, the Company has not repurchased any of its shares with this plan.
Dividends and Taxable Earnings
The Company declared dividends to stockholders totaling $165.6 million, or $1.60 per share, for the 2011 taxable year. As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90.0% of its taxable income to stockholders, subject to certain distribution requirements. The Company distributed 92.0% of its taxable earnings to stockholders in 2011.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this Form 8-K presents non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items. Two Harbors' management believes that these non-GAAP measures enable it to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future results of the Company's core business operations, and uses these measures to gain a comparative understanding of the Company's operating performance and business trends. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company represent supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the results of Two Harbors' operations; however, as these measures are not in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation table on page 14 of this Form 8-K.

Additional Risk Factors
The following are certain additional risks to our business.
Our inability to use Form S-3 from late February 2012 until at least early October 2012 will impact our ability to access the capital markets quickly during that time period.
An issuer is not eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement to offer and sell securities in a public offering unless as it has timely filed all periodic and other reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act during the twelve months and any portion of a calendar month immediately preceding (a) the filing of a Form S-3 registration statement and (b) after the initial filing of the Form S-3 registration statement, the date that the issuer files its annual report on Form 10-K. In early October 2011, we filed a Form 8-K to report the appointment of our new Chief Financial Officer after the mid-September 2011 deadline for that filing. As a result of this late Form 8-K filing, we will not be eligible to use our currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (or file a new Form S-3 registration statement) to conduct public offerings from the date that we file our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is due by February 29, 2012, until at least early October 2012. Our ineligibility to use Form S-3 during this time period will impact our ability to access capital markets quickly as we will need to file a registration statement on Form S-11 to register any proposed public offering and then wait for the SEC to declare any such Form S-11 registration statement effective before we may price any such proposed public offering.
The value of our RMBS may be adversely affected by deficiencies in servicing and foreclosure practices, as well as related delays in the foreclosure process.
Allegations of deficiencies in servicing and foreclosure practices among several large sellers and servicers of residential mortgage loans that surfaced in 2010 raised various concerns relating to such practices, including the improper execution of the documents used in foreclosure proceedings (so-called “robo signing”), inadequate documentation of transfers and registrations of mortgages and assignments of loans, improper modifications of loans, violations of representations and warranties at the date of securitization and failure to enforce put-backs.
As a result of alleged deficiencies in foreclosure practices, a number of servicers temporarily suspended foreclosure proceedings beginning in the second half of 2010 while they evaluated their foreclosure practices. In late 2010, a group of state attorneys general and state bank and mortgage regulators representing nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia, along with the U.S. Justice Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, began an investigation into foreclosure practices of banks and servicers. The investigations and lawsuits by several state attorneys general led to a proposed settlement agreement in early February 2012 with five of the nation's largest banks, pursuant to which the banks agreed to pay more than $25 billion to settle claims relating to improper foreclosure practices. The proposed settlement does not prohibit the states, the federal government, individuals or investors in RMBS from pursuing additional actions against the banks and servicers in the future.
The integrity of the servicing and foreclosure processes are critical to the value of the mortgage loan portfolios underlying our RMBS, and our financial results could be adversely affected by deficiencies in the conduct of those processes. For example, delays in the foreclosure process that have resulted from investigations into improper servicing practices may adversely affect the values of, and our losses on, our non-Agency RMBS. Foreclosure delays may also increase the administrative expenses of the securitization trusts for the non-Agency RMBS, thereby reducing the amount of funds available for distribution to investors. In addition, the subordinate classes of securities issued by the securitization trusts may continue to receive interest payments while the defaulted loans remain in the trusts, rather than absorbing the default losses. This may reduce the amount of credit support available for the senior classes we own, thus possibly adversely affecting these securities. Additionally, a substantial portion of the proposed $25 billion settlement is intended to be a “credit” to the banks and servicers for principal write-downs or reductions they may make to certain mortgages underlying RMBS. There remains considerable uncertainty as to how these principal reductions will work and what effect they will have on the value of related RMBS; as a result, there can be no assurance that any such principal reductions will not adversely affect the value of certain of our RMBS.
While we believe that the sellers and servicers would be in violation of their servicing contracts to the extent that they have improperly serviced mortgage loans or improperly executed documents in foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings, or do not comply with the terms of servicing contracts when deciding whether to apply principal reductions, it may be difficult, expensive, and time consuming for us to enforce our contractual rights. We continue to monitor and review the issues raised by the alleged improper foreclosure practices. While we cannot predict exactly how the servicing and foreclosure matters or the resulting litigation or settlement agreements will affect our business, there can be no assurance that these matters will not have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
