NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation, or Anworth, was incorporated in Maryland on October 20, 1997 and commenced operations on March 17, 1998. We are in the business of investing primarily in United States agency and other highly rated single-family adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, referred to as MBS, and residential mortgage loans that we acquire in the secondary market. United States agency securities are securities that are obligations guaranteed by the United States government or guaranteed by federally sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. We seek attractive long-term investment returns by investing our equity capital and borrowed funds in such securities and other mortgage-related assets. Our returns are principally earned on the spread between the yield on our interest-earning assets and the interest cost of the funds we borrow. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Belvedere Trust Mortgage Corporation, or Belvedere Trust, we have acquired mortgage loans with a focus on high credit-quality jumbo adjustable-rate and hybrid first-lien and second-lien mortgage markets. Belvedere Trust, through taxable real estate investment trust, or REIT, subsidiaries, securitized a substantial amount of those mortgage loans and has retained a portion of the MBS while selling the balance to third parties in the secondary market.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, we routinely distribute substantially all of the income generated from our operations to our stockholders. As long as we retain our REIT status, we generally will not be subject to federal or state taxes on our income to the extent that we distribute our net income to our stockholders. Certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of Belvedere Trust are taxable REIT subsidiaries and, as such, are liable for corporate income taxes.

Our investments consist of the following portfolios: Agency mortgage-backed securities, or Agency MBS; Non-Agency mortgage-backed securities, or Non-Agency MBS; Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans, or BT Residential Loans; and Belvedere Trust’s Other mortgage-backed securities, or BT Other MBS.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, utilized in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities, or VIEs. BT Management is owned 50% by Anworth, 45% by the executive officers of Belvedere Trust and 5% by Lloyd McAdams, our Chairman and Principal Executive Officer. BT Management cannot take numerous actions without our consent. We have also provided substantially all of the equity at risk for BT Management. Therefore, for these various reasons, BT Management is included in these consolidated financial statements. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Change in Basis of Presentation

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we decided to present the major components of interest income and interest expense to provide more information on our mortgage-related assets and the related liabilities. As a result, this information for the period ending June 30, 2006 is presented in the same manner for conformity.

6

The following is a summary of our significant accounting policies:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash held by lenders as additional collateral for secured borrowings and cash pledged as collateral on certain interest rate agreements.

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)

Agency MBS are securities that are obligations which are guaranteed by the United States government or its sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. The payment of principal and interest on the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MBS are guaranteed by those respective agencies. The payment of principal and interest on the Ginnie Mae MBS are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Relative to our investment grade Agency MBS portfolio, we have invested primarily in fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage-backed pass-through certificates and hybrid adjustable-rate MBS. Hybrid adjustable-rate MBS have an initial interest rate that is fixed for a certain period, usually three to five years, and then adjust annually for the remainder of the term of the loan. We structure our investment portfolio to be diversified with a variety of prepayment characteristics, investing in mortgage-related assets with prepayment penalties, investing in certain mortgage security structures that have prepayment protections and purchasing mortgage-related assets at a premium and at a discount.

Non-Agency MBS are high credit quality investment grade securities (generally rated AA or greater) not issued by government sponsored enterprises which are secured primarily by first-lien residential mortgage loans.

BT Other MBS include investment and non-investment grade MBS which are backed by first-lien residential mortgage loans. Credit losses are generally allocated to these securities in order, beginning with the first loss security, up to a maximum of the principal amount of the first loss security. Losses are then allocated in order to the more senior securities, until the principal balance of each of the respective securities is depleted. Since Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS portfolio includes non-investment grade securities, including the first loss security, Belvedere Trust bears primary credit risk associated with mortgages with a face value of $1.2 billion, including $78 million related to Belvedere Trust’s first securitization (HYB1), as of June 30, 2007.

Additionally, when Belvedere Trust acquires these securities, the purchase price generally includes a discount associated with this credit risk. Belvedere Trust evaluates the discount against any probable losses. If, subsequent to the acquisition of the securities, the estimated losses exceed the discount, this would cause a reduction in earnings. At June 30, 2007, there have been credit losses of approximately $15 thousand on these acquired securities. Belvedere Trust has not realized any reduction in earnings relating to these credit losses, as the credit losses did not exceed the discount. To date, Belvedere Trust has incurred $45 thousand in credit losses on HYB1, which was applied against the discount.

We classify our MBS as either trading investments, available-for-sale investments or held-to-maturity investments. Our management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. We currently classify all of our MBS and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS as available-for-sale. All assets that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value and unrealized gains or losses are included in “Other comprehensive income or loss” as a component of stockholders’ equity. Losses on securities classified as available-for-sale which are determined by management to be other-than-temporary in nature are reclassified from other comprehensive income to income.

The most significant source of our revenue is derived from our investments in MBS. Interest income on our Agency and Non-Agency MBS is accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount of the underlying mortgages. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities using the effective interest yield method, adjusted for the effects of actual prepayments based on the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases,” or SFAS 91, an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statements No. 13, 60 and 65 and a rescission of FASB Statement No. 17. Our policy for estimating prepayment speeds for calculating the effective yield is to evaluate historical performance, street consensus prepayment speeds and current market conditions. If our estimate of prepayments is incorrect, as compared to the aforementioned references, we may be required to make an adjustment to the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts that would have an impact on future income.

Interest income on BT Other MBS is determined in accordance with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-20. The excess of estimated future cash flows over the initial investment is the accretable yield to be recognized as interest income over the life of the investment using the effective yield method. If the current fair value of any individual security is lower than its current amortized cost, we determine whether an impairment charge is required to be taken through current income. If there is a continued adverse change in estimated cash flows (considering both the timing and the amount of the cash flows, and taking into consideration receipt of cash flows to date), then the security is written down to fair value, which then becomes the new amortized cost basis for future amortization.

Securities are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains or losses from securities transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities.

The following table shows our investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value of those individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2007, aggregated by investment category and length of time (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Less Than 12 Months						12 Months or More						Total
Description of Securities	Number of Securities	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses			Number of Securities	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses			Number of Securities	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Agency MBS	78	$	1,857,531	$	(11,379	)	499	$	2,421,993	$	(51,677	)	577	$	4,279,524	$	(63,056	)
Non-Agency MBS	3	$	111,827	$	(235	)	—	$	—	$	—		3	$	111,827	$	(235	)
BT Other MBS	67	$	157,525	$	(14,715	)	13	$	38,425	$	(2,115	)	80	$	195,950	$	(16,830	)

We do not consider those Agency MBS that have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The unrealized losses on our investments in Agency MBS were caused by fluctuations in interest rates. We purchased these investments primarily at a premium relative to their face value and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by United States government-sponsored enterprises and agencies. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because we have the ability and intent to hold those investments until a recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) its cost, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007.

We also do not consider the BT Other MBS that have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The unrealized losses on these investments were caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The loans collateralizing these securities are high credit-quality first-lien residential mortgage loans. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because we have the ability and intent to hold those investments until a recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) its cost, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007.

Residential Real Estate Loans

Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans are classified as held-for-investment and are carried at their unpaid principal balance, adjusted for unamortized premiums or discounts. Interest income is accrued based upon the actual interest rates and the outstanding principal amounts on the loans. Premiums or discounts are amortized into income using the effective interest yield method, adjusted for actual prepayments and considering estimated future prepayments, based on SFAS 91. To meet our investment criteria, mortgage loans acquired by us will generally conform to the underwriting guidelines established by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or to secondary market standards for high quality mortgage loans. Mortgage loans may be originated by or purchased from various suppliers of mortgage-related assets throughout the United States including savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers and other mortgage lenders. We may acquire mortgage loans directly from originators and from entities holding mortgage loans originated by others.

Belvedere Trust maintains an allowance for loan losses for residential real estate loans held in consolidated securitization trusts and for loans held prior to securitization. The balance is included in “Allowance for loan losses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Belvedere Trust establishes and maintains an allowance for estimated loan losses inherent in its BT Residential Loans portfolio. The loan loss reserves are based upon Belvedere Trust’s assessment of various factors affecting the credit quality of its assets including, but not limited to, the characteristics of the loan portfolio, review of loan level data, borrowers’ credit scores, delinquency and collateral value. The reserves are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted as deemed necessary. The allowance for loan losses on Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio is established by taking loan loss provisions through our Consolidated Statements of Income. Belvedere Trust does not maintain a loan repurchase reserve, as any risk of loss due to loan repurchases (i.e., due to breach of representations) would normally be covered by recourse to the companies from whom Belvedere Trust acquired the loans.

Repurchase Agreements

We finance the acquisition of our MBS through the use of repurchase agreements. Under these repurchase agreements, we sell securities to a lender and agree to repurchase the same securities in the future for a price that is higher than the original sales price. The difference between the sale price that we receive and the repurchase price that we pay represents interest paid to the lender. Although structured as a sale and repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement operates as a financing under which we pledge our securities as collateral to secure a loan which is equal in value to a specified percentage of the estimated fair value of the pledged collateral. We retain beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral. At the maturity of a repurchase agreement, we are required to repay the loan and concurrently receive back our pledged collateral from the lender or, with the consent of the lender, we may renew such agreement at the then prevailing financing rate. These repurchase agreements may require us to pledge additional assets to the lender in the event the estimated fair value of the existing pledged collateral declines.

Variable Interest Entities

Belvedere Trust structures securitization transactions primarily through non-qualified special purpose entities, or SPEs (such as real estate mortgage investment conduit, or REMIC, trusts). This business activity involves issuing various series of MBS (in the form of pass-through certificates or bonds collateralized by residential real estate loans). The collateral specific to each series of MBS is the sole source of repayment of the debt and, therefore, our exposure to loss is limited to our net investment in the collateral. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” these interests in non-qualified SPEs are deemed to be VIEs and we are considered the primary beneficiary. We disclose our interests in consolidated VIEs under FIN 46 in Note 4.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Risk Management

We use primarily short-term (less than or equal to 12 months) repurchase agreements to finance the purchase of our MBS. These obligations expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. We continuously monitor changes in interest rate exposures and evaluate hedging opportunities.

Our objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. We achieve this by entering into interest rate swap agreements which effectively converts a percentage of our repurchase agreements to fixed-rate obligations over a period of up to five years. Under interest rate swap contracts, we agree to pay an amount equal to a specified fixed rate of interest times a notional principal amount and to receive in return an amount equal to a specified variable-rate of interest times a notional amount, generally based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. The notional amounts are not exchanged. We account for these swap agreements as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or FASB No. 133. We do not issue or hold derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these interest rate swap agreements, but we do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. In order to limit credit risk associated with swap agreements, our current policy is to only purchase swap agreements from financial institution counterparties rated A or better by at least one of the rating agencies, limit our exposure on each swap agreement to a single counterparty under our defined guidelines and either pay or receive collateral to or from each counterparty on a periodic basis to cover the net fair market value position of the swap agreements held with that counterparty.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In accordance with FASB No. 133, as amended by FASB Statement No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” or FASB No. 138, a derivative that is designated as a hedge is recognized as an asset/liability and measured at estimated fair value. In order for our interest rate swap agreements to qualify for hedge accounting, upon entering into the swap agreement, we must anticipate that the hedge will be highly “effective,” as defined by FASB No. 133.

On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a “cash flow” hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that are highly effective and that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in “Other comprehensive income” and reclassified to income when the forecasted transaction affects income (e.g., when periodic settlement interest payments are due on repurchase agreements). The swap agreements are carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value based on values obtained from major financial institutions. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in current-period income.

We formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. If it is determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting.

When we discontinue hedge accounting, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and is reclassified into income when the forecasted transaction affects income. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we will carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current-period income.

10

For purposes of the cash flow statement, cash flows from derivative instruments are classified with the cash flows from the hedged item.

Credit Risk

At June 30, 2007, we had limited our exposure to credit losses on our portfolio of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate Agency MBS by purchasing securities primarily from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The payment of principal and interest on the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae MBS are guaranteed by those respective enterprises but are not guaranteed by the United States government. At June 30, 2007, because of the guarantee of these government-sponsored enterprises, all of these Agency MBS have an implied AAA rating.

Our adjustable-rate MBS are subject to periodic and lifetime interest rate caps. Periodic caps can limit the amount an interest rate can increase during any given period. Some adjustable-rate MBS subject to periodic payment caps may result in a portion of the interest being deferred and added to the principal outstanding.

Belvedere Trust’s investment strategy of acquiring, accumulating and securitizing loans involves credit risk. It bears the risk of loss on any loans that it acquired and which it subsequently securitized. Belvedere Trust acquired loans that are not credit enhanced and that do not have the backing of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Accordingly, it will be subject to risks of borrower default, bankruptcy and special hazard losses (such as those occurring from earthquakes and hurricanes) with respect to those loans to the extent that there is any deficiency between the value of the mortgage collateral and insurance and the principal amount of the loan. In the event of a default on any such loans that it holds, Belvedere Trust would bear the loss equal to the difference between the realizable value of the mortgaged property, after expenses, and the outstanding indebtedness, as well as the loss of interest. Belvedere Trust acquired many types of loans including those that have interest-only features during the terms of the loans and also those that allow for negative amortization. Loans with these features may expose Belvedere Trust to increased risk of default. Belvedere Trust’s risk management includes targeting loans with higher credit quality, borrowers with adequate income to make the required loan payments and maintaining a program of quality assurance. At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust has not sold the first loss securities from its securitizations to third parties. At June 30, 2007, 43% of the residential real estate loans (including HYB1) Belvedere Trust owned had interest-only features as measured by outstanding principal balance and 37% of Belvedere Trust’s loans allowed for negative amortization.

Other-than-temporary losses on our available-for-sale MBS and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS, as measured by the amount of decline in estimated fair value attributable to factors that are considered to be other-than-temporary, are charged against income, resulting in an adjustment of the cost basis of such securities. The following are among, but not all of, the factors considered in determining whether and to what extent an other-than-temporary impairment exists: (i) the expected cash flow from the investment; (ii) whether there has been an other-than-temporary deterioration of the credit quality of the underlying mortgages; (iii) the credit protection available to the related mortgage pool for MBS; (iv) any other market information available, including analysts’ assessments and statements, public statements and filings made by the debtor or counterparty; (v) management’s internal analysis of the security, considering all known relevant information at the time of assessment; and (vi) the magnitude and duration of historical decline in market prices. Because management’s assessments are based on factual information as well as subjective information available at the time of assessment, the determination as to whether an other-than-temporary decline exists and, if so, the amount considered impaired is also subjective and, therefore, constitutes material estimates that are susceptible to significant change.

Capitalization of Securitization Costs

We capitalize various costs incurred in connection with a securitization transaction. These costs are amortized into income over the expected lives of the securities using the proportional method, based on the effects of actual prepayments.

11

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and to comply with the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, with respect thereto. Accordingly, we will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that our distributions to stockholders satisfy the REIT requirements and certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met.

Belvedere Trust Finance Corporation, or BT Finance, and BT Finance’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, BT Residential Funding Corporation and BellaVista Funding Corporation, are taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS, of our company. In general, a TRS may hold assets that we cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax and will be taxed as a regular C corporation. Securities of a TRS will constitute non-real estate assets for purposes of determining whether at least 75% of a REIT’s assets consist of real estate. Under current law, no more than 20% of a REIT’s total assets can consist of securities of one or more TRS. At June 30, 2007, the amount of our assets attributable to our TRS was less than 10%. A more detailed description of federal income tax considerations regarding our qualifications and taxation as a REIT appears in our 2006 annual report on Form 10-K on page 11.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” or FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 had no effect on our financial statements. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and do not anticipate any increase in unrecognized benefits during 2007 relative to any tax positions taken prior to January 1, 2007. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is our policy to record such accruals in our income taxes accounts; no such accruals exist as of June 30, 2007. We file both REIT and taxable REIT subsidiary U.S. federal and California income tax returns. These returns are open to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2002. Although the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, has closed their 2004 and 2005 exams in January 2007 for our taxable REIT subsidiary, those two years technically remain open under the statute of limitations.

Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock

We classify our Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series B Preferred Stock, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets using the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities.” The Series B Preferred Stock contains certain fundamental change provisions that allow the holder to redeem the preferred stock for cash only if certain events occur. As redemption under these circumstances is not solely within our control, we have classified the Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

We have analyzed whether the conversion features in the Series B Preferred Stock should be bifurcated under the guidance in FASB No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” and have determined that bifurcation is not necessary.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2005, our board of directors authorized the immediate vesting of all of our then-outstanding common stock options. We intend to utilize restricted stock grants instead of stock option grants in future employee compensation (see Note 13).

Restricted stock is expensed over the vesting period (see Note 13).

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per share.

12

The computation of EPS is as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

	Income Available to Common Stockholders			Weighted Average Shares	Income Per Share
For the three months ended June 30, 2007(1):
Basic EPS	$	2,123		45,640	$	0.05
Effect of dilutive securities: stock options		—		25		—
Diluted EPS	$	2,123		45,665	$	0.05
For the three months ended June 30, 2006:
Basic EPS	$	(12,903	)	45,372	$	(0.28	)
Effect of dilutive securities: stock options		—		—		—
Diluted EPS	$	(12,903	)	45,372	$	(0.28	)

(1) The effect of converting 1.15 million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is anti-dilutive and is not included in the earnings per share calculation.

	Income Available to Common Stockholders			Weighted Average Shares	Income Per Share
For the six months ended June 30, 2007(2):
Basic EPS	$	4,563		45,627	$	0.10
Effect of dilutive securities: stock options		—		23		—
Diluted EPS	$	4,563		45,650	$	0.10
For the six months ended June 30, 2006(3):
Basic EPS	$	(10,536	)	45,380	$	(0.23	)
Effect of dilutive securities: stock options		—		—		—
Diluted EPS	$	(10,536	)	45,380	$	(0.23	)

(2) The effect of converting 1.15 million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is anti-dilutive and is not included in the earnings per share calculation.

(3) As restated in Note 15.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

FASB Statement No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” divides comprehensive income into net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which includes unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale, and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting under FASB No. 133.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS 157. Prior to SFAS 157, there were different definitions of fair value and limited

13

guidance dispersed among many different accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to evaluate fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. The fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The notion of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. SFAS 157 also clarifies that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk and about the effects of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. SFAS 157 requires expanded disclosures about the extent to which fair value is used to measure recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS 157 is effective for our financial statements for the fiscal beginning January 1, 2008 and thereafter. We do not believe SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities,” or SFAS 159. SFAS 159 allows entities to make an election to record certain selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. SFAS 159 will be effective for our financial statements for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008 and thereafter. We do not believe that SFAS 159 will affect the present treatment of available-for-sale securities and, therefore, do not believe that SFAS 159 will have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3. SECURITIZATION ACTIVITIES

Belvedere Trust acquired high credit-quality jumbo adjustable-rate and hybrid first-lien and second-lien mortgage loans and other mortgage-related assets, securitized a substantial amount of those mortgage loans and then retained a portion of those MBS while selling the balance to third parties in the secondary market. To date, Belvedere Trust has transferred approximately $3.8 billion of residential real estate loans to securitization trusts pursuant to pooling and servicing agreements. With the exception of the first transaction in February 2004, all of these transactions utilized non-qualified SPEs requiring consolidation, which effectively resulted in these transactions being accounted for as financings. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust did not transfer any residential mortgage loans to securitization trusts. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust transferred securities with an original face value of $36.9 million retained from prior securitizations to third parties. These securities have a current face value of $19.4 million as of June 30, 2007. These transactions are also effectively accounted for as financings.

The residential real estate loans remain as assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets subsequent to securitization and the financing resulting from these securitizations is shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as “MBS issued.” The servicing of the mortgage loans is performed by third parties under servicing arrangements that resulted in no servicing asset or liability.

On April 11, 2005, the SEC declared effective a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed by Belvedere Trust’s wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, BellaVista Finance Corporation and BellaVista Funding Corporation, as co-registrants. This registration statement registered for sale to the public up to $4.5 billion in asset-backed securities.

For the one securitization transaction (HYB1) accounted for as a sale during 2004, Belvedere Trust transferred approximately $253 million of residential mortgage loans to a securitization trust. The retained securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for fair market value based on quoted market prices. As these securities include the first loss security, Belvedere Trust bears the credit risk associated with these mortgages. The principal balance outstanding, at June 30, 2007, of all the securities from this transaction, was $78.1 million; the amount of assets derecognized was $70.4 million and the amount recognized as our retained securities was $7.7 million. At June 30, 2007, the delinquent amount of all the principal balances from this transaction was $2.3 million. Credit losses totaling $45 thousand have been incurred to date.

In accordance with our investment guidelines, Belvedere Trust also invests in asset classes other than mortgage loans intended for securitization. Such investments may be attractive, among other times, when the cost of acquiring residential real estate loans has increased to a point where it becomes un-economical to securitize these loans. Belvedere Trust has not securitized loans since May 25, 2005 because of such circumstances. Investments have instead been made in senior and subordinated tranches from other issuers’ securitizations. The analyses and investment decisions have been based on a similar approach to what Belvedere Trust typically has done for the acquisition of residential real estate loans. It is Belvedere Trust’s intent to securitize residential real estate loans again under its shelf registration statement when securitization execution is economically attractive relative to the pricing of residential real estate loans.

At June 30, 2007, the weighted average gross coupon on residential real estate loans which Belvedere Trust had securitized was 6.27% and the weighted average net coupon on residential real estate loans which Belvedere Trust had securitized was 5.91%. The difference between the weighted average gross coupon and the weighted average net coupon is due primarily to servicing fees. At December 31, 2006, the weighted average gross coupon on residential real estate loans which Belvedere Trust had securitized was 6.12% and the weighted average net coupon on residential real estate loans which Belvedere Trust had securitized was 5.77%. At June 30, 2007, the weighted average FICO was 728 and the loan-to-value (LTV) was 72. At December 31, 2006, the weighted average FICO was 727 and the LTV was 72.

Belvedere Trust had no loans pending securitization at June 30, 2007. Securitized residential real estate loans with a face value of approximately $1.3 billion have been pledged as collateral for the $1.2 billion of MBS issued. Belvedere Trust structures securitization transactions primarily through SPEs (such as REMIC trusts) as discussed in Note 1 under “Variable Interest Entities.” The collateral specific to each MBS series is the sole source of repayment of the debt and, therefore, Belvedere Trust’s exposure to loss is limited to its net investment in the collateral. Although the $1.3 billion of residential real estate loans which have been securitized are consolidated on our balance sheets, the SPEs that hold such loans, including BellaVista Funding Corporation, are legally separate from us and Belvedere Trust. Consequently, the assets of these SPEs (including the securitized mortgage loans) are not available to our creditors or to creditors of Belvedere Trust. Only our interest in the

19

securities issued by the SPEs are legal assets of our company and Belvedere Trust. Of the MBS (including Belvedere Trust’s first securitization), $1.3 billion in principal amount outstanding at June 30, 2007 have been sold to third parties and $150 million have been retained by Belvedere Trust. The securities retained by Belvedere Trust include $54.4 million of AAA class, $20.7 million of AA class and $75.3 million of classes rated less than AA.

Balance, end of period	$	2,074		$	2,074

(1) The allowance for loan losses is comprised of two components: a general loan loss reserve and a specific loan loss reserve. The general loan loss reserve is based upon our assessment of various factors affecting the credit quality of our assets including, but not limited to, the characteristics of the loan portfolio, review of loan level data, borrowers’ credit scores and collateral value. The specific loan loss reserve is determined based upon an analysis of individual seriously delinquent loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust released $41 thousand from its general loan loss reserve and added $638 thousand to its specific loan loss reserve. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, credit losses of $440 thousand (net of $18 thousand in recoveries) were charged to Belvedere Trust’s specific loan loss reserve. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust released $193 thousand from its general loan loss reserve and added $1.2 million to its specific loan loss reserve. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, credit losses of $727 thousand (net of $22 thousand in recoveries) were charged to Belvedere Trust’s specific loan loss reserve.

NOTE 5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Anworth Repurchase Agreements

We have entered into repurchase agreements with major financial institutions to finance most of our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS. The repurchase agreements are short-term borrowings that are secured by the market value of our MBS and bear fixed interest rates that have historically had their basis on LIBOR. Relative to our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios, at June 30, 2007, our repurchase agreements had a

20

weighted average term to maturity of 85 days and a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.28%. After adjusting for swap transactions, the weighted average term to the next rate adjustment was 364 days with a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.09%. At June 30, 2007, Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS with a fair value of approximately $4.8 billion have been pledged as collateral under the repurchase agreements.

Relative to our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios, at December 31, 2006, our repurchase agreements had a weighted average term to maturity of 90 days and a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.36%. After adjusting for swap transactions, the weighted average term to the next rate adjustment was 301 days with a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.19%. At December 31, 2006, Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS with a fair value of approximately $4.6 billion had been pledged as collateral under the repurchase agreements.

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the repurchase agreements had the following remaining maturities:

	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
Less than 3 months	77.8	%	59.1	%
3 months to less than 1 year	17.9	%	40.9	%

Total:	100.0	%	100.0	%

Belvedere Trust Repurchase Agreements

Belvedere Trust has entered into repurchase agreements with major financial institutions to finance most of its BT Other MBS. In addition, Belvedere Trust has entered into repurchase agreements to finance most of the retained portion of the residential real estate loans which it has securitized. The repurchase agreements are primarily short-term borrowings that are secured by the market value of the pledged assets and bear interest rates that have historically had their basis on LIBOR. At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreements had a weighted average term to maturity of 188 days and a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.12%. At December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreements had a weighted average term to maturity of 124 days and a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.11%.

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreements had the following remaining maturities:

NOTE 6. MBS ISSUED AND WHOLE LOAN FINANCING FACILITIES

Belvedere Trust finances its residential real estate loans using MBS issued (obligations due on pass-through certificates or bonds) through securitizations. The interest rates on the MBS issued are variable and are based either upon the interest rates on the underlying loan collateral or upon LIBOR. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the weighted average coupon on the MBS issued was 5.13% and 5.04%, respectively. The maturities on the MBS issued are also based upon the maturities of the underlying mortgages. Principal is paid on

21

the MBS issued following receipt of principal payments on the loans. The scheduled maturities of the MBS issued extend to October 2045. At June 30, 2007, residential real estate loans with a face value of approximately $1.3 billion have been pledged as collateral for the $1.2 billion of MBS issued. At December 31, 2006, residential real estate loans with a face value of approximately $1.65 billion were pledged as collateral for $1.47 billion in mortgage-backed securities issued.

Belvedere Trust uses whole loan financing facilities to finance its residential real estate loan acquisitions prior to securitization. The whole loan financing facilities are short-term borrowings with credit limits totaling $400 million that are secured by the loans and bear interest rates that have historically had their basis on LIBOR. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust had no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.

The following table represents the principal payments of the MBS issued at June 30, 2007 for each of the succeeding five years:

	2007		2008		2009		2010		2011
	(in thousands)
MBS issued	$	159,646	$	257,993	$	193,494	$	145,121	$	108,841

The following table represents the principal payments of the MBS issued at December 31, 2006 for each of the succeeding five years:

	2006		2007		2008		2009		2010
	(in thousands)
MBS issued	$	368,219	$	276,164	$	207,123	$	155,342	$	116,507

For the table above, the principal payments have been estimated based on prepayment assumptions (actual future prepayment experiences may differ materially from these estimates). The actual principal paid in each year will be dependent upon the principal received on the underlying loans. The collateral specific to each MBS series is the sole source of repayment of the debt.

NOTE 7. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

On March 15, 2005, we issued $37,380,000 of junior subordinated notes to a newly-formed statutory trust, Anworth Capital Trust I, organized by us under Delaware law. The trust issued $36,250,000 in trust preferred securities to unrelated third party investors. Both the notes and the trust preferred securities require quarterly payments and bear interest at the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.10%, reset quarterly. The first interest payment was made on June 30, 2005. Both the notes and the securities will mature in 2035 and may be redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at our option after March 30, 2010 and April 30, 2010. We used the net proceeds of this private placement to invest in Agency MBS. We have reviewed the structure of the transaction under FIN 46 and concluded that Anworth Capital Trust I does not meet the requirements for consolidation. On September 26, 2005, the notes, the trust preferred securities and the related agreements were amended. The only material change was that one of the class holders requested that interest payments be made quarterly on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 instead of at the end of each calendar quarter. This became effective with the quarterly payment after September 30, 2005.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our Agency MBS, Non-Agency MBS and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at estimated fair value. Management bases its fair value estimates for our Agency MBS and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS primarily on third-party bid price indications provided by dealers who make markets in these financial instruments when such indications are available. However, the fair value reported reflects estimates and may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.

22

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, interest receivable, repurchase agreements, interest payable and payables for securities purchased are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their costs, which approximates their fair value because of the nature and short term of these instruments.

The following table of the estimated fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2007 was made by using available market information, historical data and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market and historical data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange.

The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Residential real estate loans securitized	$	1,358,009	$	1,346,903	$	1,682,522	$	1,667,581
MBS issued	$	1,190,552	$	1,181,454	$	1,471,725	$	1,463,864

These fair value estimates at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are based on pertinent information available to management as of the respective dates. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. The unrealized decline in fair value of these loans has been caused by fluctuations in interest rates. The loans are high credit-quality first-lien residential mortgage loans. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because Belvedere Trust has the ability and intent to hold those loans until a recovery of carrying value, which may be maturity, we do not consider these loans to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007.

Residential real estate loans are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at historical cost, net of amortization, as Belvedere Trust holds these assets for investment. The fair value of the residential real estate loans is calculated using assumptions based on historical experience, industry information and estimated rates of future prepayments and credit losses. The estimates of fair value are inherently subjective in nature, involve matters of uncertainty and judgment and do not necessarily indicate the amounts that could be received in a current market exchange. The estimated fair value of MBS issued (obligations due on pass-through certificates) is based on dealers’ quotes.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, with respect thereto. Accordingly, we will not be subject to federal or state income taxes to the extent that our distributions to stockholders satisfy the REIT requirements and certain asset, income and stock ownership tests are met. We believe we met all REIT requirements regarding these tests and the distribution of our net income. Therefore, we believe that we continue to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Code.

BT Finance and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BT Residential Funding Corporation and BellaVista Funding Corporation, are taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS) of Anworth. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax and will be taxed as a regular C Corporation.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” or FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 had no effect on our financial statements. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and do not anticipate any increase in unrecognized benefits during 2007 relative to any tax positions taken prior to January 1, 2007. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to

23

unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is our policy to record such accruals in our income taxes accounts; no such accruals exist as of January 1, 2007. We file both REIT and taxable REIT subsidiary U.S. federal and California income tax returns. These returns are open to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2002. Although the IRS closed its 2004 and 2005 exams in January 2007 for our taxable REIT subsidiary, those two years technically remain open under the statute of limitations.

NOTE 10. SERIES B CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On February 1 and 7, 2007, we issued an aggregate of 1.15 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $27 million (net of underwriting fees, commissions and other costs). The Series B Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared). The Series B Preferred Stock must be paid a dividend at a rate of 6.25% per year on the $25.00 liquidation preference before the common stock is entitled to receive any dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock is senior to the common stock and on parity with our Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, or Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of distributions and amounts, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

The Series B Preferred Stock has no maturity date and is not redeemable. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at an initial conversion rate of 2.3809 shares of our common stock per $25.00 liquidation preference. The conversion rate will be adjusted in any fiscal quarter in which the cash dividends paid to common stockholders results in an annualized common stock dividend yield which is greater than 6.25%. The conversion ratio will also be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specific events such as a change of control. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the Series B preferred stockholder at any time at the then prevailing conversion rate. On or after January 25, 2012, we may, at our option, convert, under certain circumstances, each share of Series B Preferred Stock into a number of common shares at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Series B Preferred Stock contains certain fundamental change provisions that allow the holder to redeem the preferred stock for cash only if certain events occur. The Series B Preferred Stock generally does not have voting rights, except if dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive). Under such circumstances, Series B preferred stockholders, together with our Series A preferred stockholders, will be entitled to vote to elect two additional directors to our board of directors to serve until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. In addition, certain material and adverse changes to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock may not be taken without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Through June 30, 2007, we have declared and set aside for payment the required dividend for the Series B Preferred Stock.

NOTE 11. PUBLIC OFFERINGS AND CAPITAL STOCK

Our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan allows stockholders and non-stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock and to reinvest dividends in additional shares of our common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we issued approximately 46 thousand shares of common stock under the plan, resulting in proceeds to us of approximately $425 thousand.

On June 29, 2007, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor, to reinstate and modify a controlled equity offering program, or the Program, under which Cantor will act as sales agent. Under the Program we may sell from time to time in our sole discretion up to 10 million shares of common stock, 1.225 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

We initially instituted the Program with Cantor in December 2002. In 2005, we amended the Program with Cantor to allow us to sell an additional amount of common stock and up to 2 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In June 2007, we entered into the Sales Agreement in order to (i) reduce the commission rate payable to Cantor on any sales of Preferred Stock and common stock from a rate of up to 3% to a rate of between 2.0% and

24

2.5%; and (ii) permit us to sell Series B Preferred Stock through the Program. Sales of Preferred Stock and common stock made under the Program will be made on the New York Stock Exchange or on any other existing trading market by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices and through privately negotiated transactions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not sell any shares of our Preferred Stock or common stock under the Program.

On May 23, 2007, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, offering up to $500 million of our capital stock. The registration statement was declared effective on June 8, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, $500 million of this amount remained available for issuance under the registration statement.

On November 7, 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register an aggregate of up to 3.5 million shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to the Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation 2004 Equity Compensation Plan, or the 2004 Equity Plan.

On May 17, 2005, Belvedere Trust filed a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering its common stock in connection with a contemplated initial public offering, or IPO. In December 2005, after discussions with the underwriters, we and Belvedere Trust determined that the IPO would be delayed due to market conditions. As a result of the delay in its IPO, Belvedere Trust expensed in December 2005 approximately $725 thousand in offering costs that had previously been deferred. In the second quarter of 2006, approximately $221 thousand in additional costs were incurred and also expensed in connection with this delayed IPO. After the second quarter of 2006, there have been no additional costs incurred in connection with this delayed IPO.

At June 30, 2007, our authorized capital included 20 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock, of which 5.15 million shares had been designated 8.625% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) and 3.15 million shares had been designated 6.25% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share). The remaining preferred stock may be issued in one or more classes or series, with such distinctive designations, rights and preferences as determined by our board of directors.

At our May 24, 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders adopted the Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation 2007 Dividend Equivalent Rights Plan, or the 2007 Dividend Equivalent Rights Plan. As of June 30, 2007, no grants under the 2007 Dividend Equivalent Rights Plan have been issued to our employees, officers or directors.

NOTE 12. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Anworth 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan

Under our 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2002 Incentive Plan, eligible employees have the opportunity to earn incentive compensation for each fiscal quarter. The total aggregate amount of compensation that may be earned by all employees equals a percentage of net income, before incentive compensation, in excess of the amount that would produce an annualized return on average net worth equal to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 1%, or the Threshold Return.

The 2002 Incentive Plan contains a “high water mark” provision requiring that in any fiscal quarter in which our net income is an amount less than the amount necessary to earn the Threshold Return, we will calculate negative incentive compensation for that fiscal quarter which will be carried forward and will offset future incentive compensation earned under the 2002 Incentive Plan, but only with respect to those participants who were participants during the fiscal quarter(s) in which negative incentive compensation was generated.

25

The percentage of net income in excess of the Threshold Return earned under the 2002 Incentive Plan by all employees is calculated based on our quarterly average net worth as defined in the 2002 Incentive Plan. The percentage rate used in this calculation is based on a blended average of the following tiered percentage rates:

• 25% for the first $50 million of average net worth;

• 15% for the average net worth between $50 million and $100 million;

• 10% for the average net worth between $100 million and $200 million; and

• 5% for the average net worth in excess of $200 million.

The 2002 Incentive Plan requires that we pay all amounts earned thereunder each quarter (subject to offset for accrued negative incentive compensation) and we will be required to pay a percentage of such amounts to certain of our executives pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, eligible employees under the 2002 Incentive Plan did not earn any incentive compensation. At June 30, 2007, there was a negative incentive compensation accrual carried forward of $5.66 million.

Employment Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of employment agreements with us, Lloyd McAdams serves as our President, Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, Joseph E. McAdams serves as our Chief Investment Officer and Executive Vice President, and Heather U. Baines serves as our Executive Vice President. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Lloyd McAdams receives a base salary of $630 thousand per annum. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Joseph E. McAdams receives a base salary equal to $420 thousand per annum. Ms. Baines receives a $53 thousand annual base salary. The terms of the employment agreements were originally for three years following June 13, 2002 and automatically renew for one-year terms unless written notice is provided by either party six months prior to the end of the current term.

These employment agreements, including all addenda thereto, also have the following provisions:

• the three executives are entitled to participate in our 2002 Incentive Plan and each of these individuals are provided a minimum percentage of the amounts earned under such plan. Lloyd McAdams is entitled to 45% of all amounts paid under the plan; Joseph E. McAdams is entitled to 25% of all amounts paid under the plan; and Ms. Baines is entitled to 5% of all amounts paid under the plan. The three executives may be paid up to 50% of their respective incentive compensation earned under such plan in the form of our common stock;

• the 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan may not be amended without the consent of the three executives;

• in the event of a registered public offering of our shares, the three executives are entitled to piggyback registration rights in connection with such offering;

• in the event any of the three executives is terminated without “cause,” or if they terminate for “good reason,” or in the case of Lloyd McAdams or Joseph E. McAdams, their employment agreements are not renewed, then the executives would be entitled to (1) all base salary due under the contracts, (2) all discretionary bonus due under the contracts, (3) a lump sum payment of an amount equal to three years of the executive’s then-current base salary, (4) payment of COBRA medical coverage for eighteen months, (5) immediate vesting of all pension benefits, (6) all incentive compensation to which the executives would have been entitled to under the contract prorated through the termination date, and (7) all expense reimbursements and benefits due and owing the executives through the termination. In addition, under these circumstances, Lloyd McAdams and Joseph E. McAdams would each be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 150% of the greater of (i) the highest amount paid or that could be payable (in the aggregate) under the 2002 Incentive Plan during any one of the three fiscal years prior to their termination, and (ii) the highest amount paid, or that could be payable (in the

26

aggregate), under the plan during any of the three fiscal years following their termination. Ms. Baines would also be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to all incentive compensation that Ms. Baines would have been entitled to under the plan during the three-year period following her termination;

• the three executives received restricted stock grants of 20,000 shares each, which grants vest in equal, annual installments over ten years beginning June 13, 2002;

• the equity awards granted to each of the three executives will immediately vest upon the termination of the executive’s employment upon a change in control; and

• Lloyd McAdams and Joseph E. McAdams are each subject to a one-year non-competition provision following termination of their employment except in the event of a change in control.

On June 27, 2006, we entered into addenda to our employment agreements with each of Lloyd McAdams, Joseph E. McAdams and Ms. Baines. The addenda amend the employment agreements with Lloyd McAdams, Joseph E. McAdams and Ms. Baines to, among other things, (i) comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as enacted in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, (ii) modify certain non-competition provisions in the employment agreements with Lloyd McAdams and Joseph E. McAdams, (iii) remove certain non-competition provisions from the employment agreement with Ms. Baines and (iv) make certain other clarifications to the agreements.

On June 27, 2006, we entered into Change in Control and Arbitration Agreements with each of Thad M. Brown, our Principal Financial Officer, Charles J. Siegel, our Senior Vice President-Finance, Evangelos Karagiannis, our Vice President and Portfolio Manager, and Bistra Pashamova, our Vice President and Portfolio Manager, as well as certain of our other employees. The Change in Control and Arbitration Agreements grant these officers and employees in the event that a change in control occurs a lump sum payment equal to (i) 12 months annual base salary in effect on the date of the change in control, plus (ii) the average annual incentive compensation received for the two complete fiscal years prior to the date of the change on control, and plus (iii) the average annual bonus received for the two complete fiscal years prior to the date of the change in control, as well as other benefits. The Change in Control and Arbitration Agreements also provide for accelerated vesting of equity awards granted to these officers and employees upon a change in control.

Agreements with Pacific Income Advisers, Inc.

On June 13, 2002, we entered into a sublease with Pacific Income Advisers, Inc., or PIA, a company owned by a trust controlled by certain of our officers. Under the sublease, we lease, on a pass-through basis, 5,500 square feet of office space from PIA and pay rent at a rate equal to PIA’s obligation, currently $49.56 per square foot. The sublease runs through June 30, 2012 unless earlier terminated pursuant to the master lease. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we paid $68 thousand and $136 thousand, respectively, in rent to PIA under the sublease which is included in “Other expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we paid $66 thousand and $132 thousand, respectively, in rent to PIA under this sublease.

The future minimum lease commitment is as follows (in whole dollars):

Year	2007		2008		2009		2010		2011		Thereafter		Total Commitment
Commitment	$	140,380	$	284,965	$	293,515	$	302,332	$	311,414	$	158,012	$	1,490,618

On October 14, 2002, we entered into an administrative agreement with PIA. Under the administrative agreement, PIA provides administrative services and equipment to us in the nature of accounting, human resources, operational support and information technology, and we pay an annual fee of 7 basis points on the first $225 million of stockholders’ equity and 3.5 basis points thereafter (paid quarterly in advance) for those services. The administrative agreement is for an initial term of one year and will renew for successive one-year terms

27

thereafter unless either party gives notice of termination no less than 30 days before the expiration of the then-current annual term. We may also terminate the administrative agreement upon 30 days prior written notice for any reason and immediately if there is a material breach by PIA. Included in “Other expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Income are fees of $66 thousand and $129 thousand paid to PIA in connection with this agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we paid fees of $25 thousand and $94 thousand, respectively, to PIA in connection with this agreement.

Belvedere Trust Mortgage Corporation

On November 3, 2003, we formed Belvedere Trust and also formed BT Management. BT Management has entered into a management agreement with Belvedere Trust pursuant to which BT Management will manage the day-to-day operations of Belvedere Trust in exchange for an annual base management fee and a quarterly incentive fee. The annual base management fee is equal to 1.15% of the first $300 million of average net invested assets (as defined in the management agreement) plus 0.85% of the portion above $300 million. The incentive fee for each fiscal quarter is equal to 20% of the amount of net income of Belvedere Trust, before incentive compensation, for such quarter in excess of the amount that would produce an annualized return on equity (calculated by multiplying the return on equity for such fiscal quarter by four) equal to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Rate for such fiscal quarter plus 1%.

The management agreement requires that Belvedere Trust pay all amounts earned thereunder each quarter (subject to offset for accrued negative incentive compensation). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, Belvedere Trust did not pay BT Management any incentive compensation. At June 30, 2007, there was a negative compensation accrual carried forward of $2.6 million.

Certain of our executive officers serve as officers and directors of Belvedere Trust and officers and managers of BT Management (and certain of our employees are also employees of BT Management). Our employees who are also employed by BT Management may receive compensation from BT Management in the form of salary, employee benefits and incentive compensation. The compensation of all BT Management employees is the responsibility of the BT Management board of managers. However, compensation paid by BT Management to our executive officers who also serve as officers, managers or employees of BT Management is subject to approval of the compensation committee of Anworth’s board of directors.

BT Management has also entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Claus Lund and Russell Thompson whereby Mr. Lund serves as the President of BT Management and Mr. Thompson serves as Executive Vice President and Treasurer of BT Management. The employment agreements automatically renew for one-year terms unless written notice is provided by either party ninety days prior to the end of the current term.

Deferred Compensation Plan

On January 15, 2003, we adopted the Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, or the Deferred Compensation Plan. We amended the plan effective January 1, 2005 to comply with Section 409A of the Code enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits our eligible officers to defer the payment of all or a portion of their cash compensation that otherwise would be in excess of the $1 million annual limitation on deductible compensation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code (based on the officers’ compensation and benefit elections made prior to January 1 of the calendar year in which the compensation will be deferred). Under this limitation, compensation paid to our Principal Executive Officer and our four other highest paid officers is not deductible by us for income tax purposes to the extent the amount paid to any such officer exceeds $1 million in any calendar year, unless such compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). Our board of directors designates the eligible officers who may participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan from among the group consisting of our Principal Executive Officer and our other four highest paid officers. To date, the board has designated Lloyd McAdams, our Chairman, President and

28

Principal Executive Officer, and Joseph E. McAdams, our Chief Investment Officer and Executive Vice President, as the only officers who may participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Each eligible officer becomes a participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan by making a written election to defer the payment of cash compensation. With certain limited exceptions, the election must be filed with us before January 1 of the calendar year in which the compensation will be deferred. The election is effective for the entire calendar year and may not be terminated or modified for that calendar year. If a participant wishes to defer compensation in a subsequent calendar year, a new deferral election must be made before January 1 of that subsequent year.

Amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan are not paid to the participant as earned, but are credited to a bookkeeping account maintained by us in the name of the participant. The balance in the participant’s account is credited with earnings at a rate of return equal to the annual dividend yield on our common stock. The balance in the participant’s account is paid to the participant six months after termination of employment or upon the death of the participant or a change in control of our company. Each participant is a general unsecured creditor of our company with respect to all amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

NOTE 13. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

At our May 27, 2004 annual stockholders’ meeting, our stockholders adopted the Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation 2004 Equity Compensation Plan, or the Plan, which amended and restated our 1997 Stock Option and Awards Plan. The Plan authorized the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards for an aggregate of up to 3,500,000 of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Plan authorizes our board of directors, or a committee of our board, to grant incentive stock options, as defined under section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalent rights (DERs), phantom shares, stock-based awards that qualify as performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Code and other stock-based awards. The exercise price for any option granted under the Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time the option is granted. At June 30, 2007, 1,220,662 shares remained available for future issuance under the Plan through any combination of stock options or other awards. The Plan does not provide for automatic annual increases in the aggregate share reserve or the number of shares remaining available for grant. We filed a registration statement on Form S-8 on November 7, 2005 to register an aggregate of up to 3,500,000 shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan.

In October 2005, our board of directors approved the grant of 200,780 shares of restricted stock to various of our employees under the Plan. The stock price on the grant date was $7.72. The restricted stock vests 10% per year on each anniversary date for a ten-year period and shall also vest immediately upon the death of the grantee or upon the grantee reaching age 65. Each grantee shall have the right to sell 40% of the restricted stock anytime after such shares have vested. The remaining 60% of such vested restricted stock may not be sold until after termination of employment with us. We amortize the restricted stock over the vesting period, which is the lesser of ten years or the remaining number of years to age 65. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we expensed $7 thousand relating to this restricted stock grant.

In October 2006, our board of directors approved a grant of an aggregate of 197,362 shares of performance-based restricted stock to various of our officers and employees under the Plan. Such grant was made effective on October 18, 2006. The closing stock price on the effective date of the grant was $9.12. The shares will vest in equal annual installments over the next three years provided that the annually compounded rate of return on our common stock, including dividends, exceeds 12% measured from the effective date of the grant to each of the next three anniversary dates. If the annually compounded rate of return does not exceed 12%, then the shares will vest on the anniversary date thereafter when the annually compounded rate of return exceeds 12%. If the annually compounded rate of return does not exceed 12% within ten years after the effective date of the grant, then the shares will be forfeited. The shares will fully vest within the ten-year period upon the death of a grantee. Upon vesting, each grantee shall have the right to sell 40% of the restricted stock anytime after such shares have vested. The remaining 60% of such vested restricted stock may not be sold until after termination of employment with us or upon the tenth anniversary of the effective date. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we expensed $292 thousand relating to this restricted stock grant.

NOTE 14. HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

At June 30, 2007, we were a counter-party to swap agreements, which are derivative instruments as defined by FASB No. 133 and FASB No. 138, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion and a weighted average maturity of 2.5 years. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we entered into one new swap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $100 million. We utilize swap agreements to manage interest rate risk relating to our repurchase agreements and do not anticipate entering into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. In accordance with the swap agreements, we will pay a fixed-rate of interest during the term of the swap agreements and receive a payment that varies with the three-month LIBOR rate.

At June 30, 2007, there was an increase in unrealized gains of $5.5 million, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2006 to unrealized gains of $10.4 million, on our swap agreements included in “Other comprehensive income��� (this increase consisted of unrealized losses on cash flow hedges of $10 million and a reclassification adjustment for interest income included in net income of $4.5 million) and are presented as “Derivative instruments at fair value” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset of $13.2 million and a liability of $2.8 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, there was no gain or loss recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. There were no components of the derivative instruments’ gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The maximum length of our swap agreements is 4.6 years. We do not anticipate any discontinuance of the swap agreements and thus do not expect to recognize any gain or loss into earnings because of this.

NOTE 15. CUMULATIVE ADJUSTMENT

In December 2005, we declared a Series A Preferred Stock dividend of approximately $1 million for Series A Preferred stockholders of record as of March 31, 2006 and payable on April 17, 2006. We recorded this Series A Preferred Stock dividend in the first quarter of 2006 instead of recording it in December 2005. We do not believe that this amount was material to our December 31, 2005 financial statements. In analyzing this transaction under the recently adopted provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, or SAB 108, we determined that an adjustment to our December 31, 2006 financial statements was necessary. In accordance with the transition provision of SAB 108, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment within the equity section of our December 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheets to correct this transaction. The effect of this adjustment increased the Series A Preferred Stock dividends payable and increased the accumulated deficit within stockholders’ equity by approximately $1 million. This adjustment had no effect to the loss to common stockholders and no effect to common stock EPS for the year ended December 31, 2006. There was no effect for the three months ended June 30, 2006. We have also corrected the information for the six months ended June 30, 2006 relating to this adjustment for the Series A Preferred Stock dividend, net income available to common stockholders, basic and diluted EPS and dividends declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock as shown in the following table:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006			Adjustment		For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 (As Adjusted)

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, there has been a substantial increase in the yield spread of many MBS relative to Treasuries. As of August 6, 2007, higher yields, as well as significantly reduced trading liquidity, have been particularly evident in the market for non-agency MBS with credit ratings below AAA. Financing conditions for certain sectors of the mortgage market have become more difficult as well. These market conditions have had little impact on the Company’s Agency MBS portfolio, or the Company’s financing of its Agency MBS via repurchase agreements. At Belvedere Trust, these market conditions have resulted in a decline in the market valuation of securities in its BT Other MBS portfolio as well as certain MBS retained from the securitization of its loan portfolio relative to these securities’ fair value as of June 30, 2007. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, and as of August 6, 2007, the declines in security valuations have resulted in both a reduction in the amount of

31

repurchase agreement borrowings used to finance these securities as well as requests for additional collateral from Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreement lenders related to the financing of its portfolio holdings.

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company has made intercompany loans to Belvedere Trust to both reduce the amount of repurchase agreements outstanding and to satisfy requests for additional collateral from Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreement lenders related to the financing of Belvedere Trust’s portfolio holdings. As of August 6, 2007, the outstanding balance of these intercompany loans was $34 million. As of August 6, 2007, the balance of Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreement borrowings has been reduced to approximately $267 million and Belvedere Trust has continued to remain current on all of its financing obligations under its repurchase agreement borrowings.

With regard to sources of liquidity at Anworth, as of June 30, 2007, the Company owned Agency MBS at a fair value of $205.9 million which were not pledged to counterparties relative to its outstanding repurchase agreement borrowings. These unpledged assets can be used to provide additional collateral for financing secured by both the Company’s Agency MBS as well as the MBS owned by Belvedere Trust. The amount of unpledged Agency MBS is temporarily reduced during the course of each month, as there is a built-in delay of several weeks between when principal on the underlying loans is paid at the beginning of each month and when the payments are remitted to the Company by the Agencies guaranteeing these securities. As of August 6, 2007, the estimated receivable for the monthly Agency MBS principal payments is approximately $104 million. In addition to the unpledged Agency securities, the Company could potentially raise additional liquidity through the sale of any of its securities. The market for the Company’s Agency MBS continues to be liquid and, as of August 6, 2007, market valuations for its Agency MBS portfolio are estimated to be higher than as of June 30, 2007. As of August 6, 2007, neither the Company nor Belvedere Trust has sold securities subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

On July 12, 2007, we declared a common stock dividend of $0.05 per share which is payable on August 10, 2007 to our common stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2007.

On July 12, 2007, we declared a Series A Preferred Stock dividend of $0.539063 per share which is payable on October 15, 2007 to our holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on September 28, 2007.

On July 12, 2007, we declared a Series B Preferred Stock dividend of $0.390625 per share which is payable on October 15, 2007 to our holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock as of the close of business on September 28, 2007.

Since June 30, 2007, we have sold 56 thousand shares of Series B Preferred Stock under our amended Sales Agreement with Cantor (as described in Note 11), which provided net proceeds to us of approximately $1.38 million. The sales agent received an aggregate of approximately $28 thousand, which represents an average commission of approximately 2.0% on the gross sales price per share.

Since June 30, 2007, we have entered into three additional swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million for terms of up to five years. We utilize swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. In accordance with these swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest during the term of the swap agreements and receive a payment that varies with the three-month LIBOR rate.

General

We were formed in October 1997 and commenced operations on March 17, 1998. We are in the business of investing primarily in mortgage-related assets including mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage loans and other securities representing interests in, or obligations backed by, pools of mortgage loans which can be readily financed. Our principal business objective is to generate net income for distribution to stockholders based upon the spread between the interest income on our mortgage-related assets and the costs of borrowing to finance our acquisition of these assets.

We are organized for tax purposes as a REIT. Accordingly, we generally distribute substantially all of our earnings to stockholders without paying federal or state income tax at the corporate level on the distributed earnings. At June 30, 2007, our qualified REIT assets (real estate assets, as defined in the Code, cash and cash items and government securities) were greater than 90% of our total assets, as compared to the Code requirement that at least 75% of our total assets must be qualified REIT assets. Greater than 99% of our 2006 revenue qualifies for both the 75% source of income test and the 95% source of income test under the REIT rules. We believe we met all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of our common stock and the distributions of our net income. Therefore, we believe that we continue to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Code.

Our investments consist of the following portfolios: Agency mortgage-backed securities, or Agency MBS; Non-Agency mortgage-backed securities, or Non-Agency MBS; Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans, or BT Residential Loans; and Belvedere Trust’s Other mortgage-backed securities, or BT Other MBS.

Belvedere Trust has acquired mortgage loans with a focus on high credit-quality jumbo adjustable-rate and hybrid first-lien and second-lien mortgage markets. Belvedere Trust, through taxable REIT subsidiaries, securitized a substantial amount of those mortgage loans and has retained a portion of the MBS while selling the

33

balance to third parties in the secondary market. Belvedere Trust also invests in asset classes other than mortgage loans intended for securitization, including senior and subordinated tranches from other issuers’ securitizations.

At June 30, 2007, we had total assets of $6.6 billion. Our Agency MBS portfolio, consisting of $4.9 billion, was distributed as follows: 25% agency adjustable-rate MBS, 56% agency hybrid adjustable-rate MBS, 18% agency fixed-rate MBS and less than 1% agency floating-rate collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs. Our Non-Agency MBS portfolio consisted of $112 million of floating-rate CMOs. BT Other MBS held at June 30, 2007 were approximately $201 million. Belvedere Trust had no mortgage loans held for securitization at June 30, 2007. Belvedere Trust’s securitized mortgage loans were $1.36 billion at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s assets comprised 24% of our overall assets, or approximately $1.57 billion in mortgage-related assets. Stockholders’ equity available to common stockholders at quarter end was approximately $423 million, or $9.27 per share. The $423 million equals total stockholders’ equity of $472 million less the Series A Preferred Stock liquidating value of $46.88 million and less the difference between the Series B Preferred Stock liquidating value of $28.75 million and the proceeds from its sale of $26.86 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we reported net income of $3.6 million. Net income available to common stockholders was $2.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. This includes a net profit of $0.3 million for Belvedere Trust.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to June 30, 2006

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our net income was $3.6 million. Our net income available to common stockholders was $2.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, based on an average of 45.6 million shares outstanding. This includes a net profit of $0.3 million for Belvedere Trust. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, our net loss was $11.9 million and our net loss to common stockholders was $12.9 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, based on an average of 45.4 million shares outstanding.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $6.1 million, or 6.4% of total interest income, compared to $(0.9) million, or (1.0)% of total interest income, for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net interest income is comprised of the interest income earned on mortgage investments less interest expense from borrowings. Interest income net of premium amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $86.2 million, compared to $74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 16.6%. The increase in interest income is due primarily to the increase in the interest rates of our portfolios, partially offset by the decrease in the balance of Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $80.1 million, compared to $74.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 7.0%. The smaller increase in interest expense is due to the increases in short-term interest rates (which have not increased as much since the Federal Reserve Bank stopped the increase in the Fed Funds Rate), partially offset by the decrease in the balance of Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, premium amortization expense for Anworth decreased $1.3 million, or 17%, from $7.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $6.3 million, and for Belvedere Trust, it decreased $2.5 million, or 50%, from $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $2.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the decrease in premium amortization expense for Anworth resulted from a decrease of the constant prepayment rate of its portfolio and the decrease in premium amortization expense for Belvedere Trust resulted from the continued reduction in Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio.

34

The table below shows the approximate constant prepayment rate of our (including Belvedere Trust’s) mortgage-related assets for each of the following quarters:

	2007				2006
Portfolio	First Quarter		Second Quarter		First Quarter		Second Quarter
Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS	24	%	25	%	25	%	29	%
BT Residential Loans	30	%	40	%	35	%	35	%
BT Other MBS	5	%	2	%	10	%	8	%

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we did not sell any Agency MBS, compared to a sale of approximately $398 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in a loss of approximately $10.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust did not sell any of its Other MBS, compared to a sale of approximately $54 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million.

Total expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $570 thousand in total expenses was due to an increase in compensation expenses of $6 thousand, an increase in amortization of restricted stock of approximately $17 thousand (due primarily to a restricted stock grant in October 2006) and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $547 thousand (due primarily to increases in specific reserves on delinquent loans).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to June 30, 2006

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our net income was $6.3 million. Our net income available to common stockholders was $4.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, based on an average of 45.6 million shares outstanding. This includes a net profit of $0.6 million for Belvedere Trust. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our net loss was $9.5 million and our net loss to common stockholders was $10.5 million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, based on an average of 45.4 million shares outstanding.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $11.1 million, or 5.8% of total interest income, compared to $3.6 million, or 2.1% of total interest income, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net interest income is comprised of the interest income earned on mortgage investments less interest expense from borrowings. Interest income net of premium amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $172.8 million, compared to $149.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 15.7%. The increase in interest income is due primarily to the increase in the interest rates of our portfolios, partially offset by the decrease in the balance of Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $161.6 million, compared to $145.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 10.8%. The smaller increase in interest expense is due to the increases in short-term interest rates (which have not increased as much since the Federal Reserve Bank stopped the increase in the Fed Funds Rate), partially offset by the decrease in the balance of Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, premium amortization expense for Anworth decreased $2.2 million, or 15%, from $14.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $12.2 million, and for Belvedere Trust, it decreased $3.4 million, or 35%, from $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $6.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the decrease in premium amortization expense for Anworth resulted from a decrease of the constant prepayment rate of its portfolio and the decrease in premium amortization expense for Belvedere Trust resulted from the continued reduction in the loan portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not sell any Agency MBS, compared to a sale of approximately $398 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in a loss of approximately $10.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust sold approximately

35

$29.3 million of its BT Other MBS and realized a net gain of approximately $0.2 million, compared to a sale of approximately $54 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million. These sales were part of Belvedere Trust’s asset/liability management program in order to reduce credit exposure and minimize future volatility to its earnings.

Total expenses were $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase of $857 thousand in total expenses was due to an increase in compensation expenses of $48 thousand, an increase in amortization of restricted stock of approximately $166 thousand (due primarily to a restricted stock grant in October 2006) and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $787 thousand (due primarily to increases in specific reserves on delinquent loans) partially offset by a decrease in “Other expenses” of $144 thousand.

Financial Condition

Agency MBS Portfolio

At June 30, 2007, we held agency mortgage assets whose amortized cost was approximately $4.94 billion, consisting primarily of $4.0 billion of adjustable-rate MBS, $911 million of fixed-rate MBS and $10 million of floating-rate CMOs. This amount represents an approximate 5% increase from the $4.70 billion held at December 31, 2006. Of the adjustable-rate Agency MBS owned by us, 32% were adjustable-rate pass-through certificates whose coupons reset within one year. The remaining 68% consisted of hybrid adjustable-rate MBS whose coupons will reset between one year and five years. Hybrid adjustable-rate MBS have an initial interest rate that is fixed for a certain period, usually three to five years, and thereafter adjust annually for the remainder of the term of the loan.

The following table presents a schedule of our Agency MBS at fair value owned at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, classified by type of issuer (dollar amounts in thousands):

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006

The fair values indicated do not include interest earned but not yet paid. With respect to our hybrid adjustable-rate MBS, the fair value of these securities appears on the line associated with the index based on which the security will eventually reset once the initial fixed interest rate period has expired.

At June 30, 2007, our total agency portfolio had a weighted average coupon of 5.73%. The average coupon of the adjustable-rate securities was 5.64%, the hybrid securities average coupon was 5.69%, the fixed-rate securities average coupon was 5.96% and the CMO floaters average coupon was 6.13%. At December 31, 2006, our total agency portfolio had a weighted average coupon of 5.63%. The average coupon of the adjustable-rate securities was 5.76%, the hybrid average coupon was 5.49%, the fixed-rate securities average coupon was 5.95% and the CMO floaters average coupon was 6.13%.

At June 30, 2007, the average amortized cost of our agency mortgage-related assets was 101.3%, the average amortized cost of our adjustable-rate securities was 101.5% and the average amortized cost of our fixed-rate securities was 100.9%. Relative to our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios at June 30, 2007, the average interest rate on outstanding repurchase agreements was 5.28% and the average days to maturity was 85 days. After adjusting for interest rate swap transactions, the average interest rate on outstanding repurchase agreements was 5.09% and the weighted average term to next rate adjustment was 364 days.

At December 31, 2006, the average amortized cost of our agency mortgage-related assets was 101.55%, the average amortized cost of our adjustable-rate securities was 101.64% and the average amortized cost of our fixed-rate securities was 101.10%. Relative to our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios at December 31, 2006, the average interest rate on outstanding repurchase agreements was 5.36% and the average days to maturity was 90 days. After adjusting for interest rate swap transactions, the average interest rate on outstanding repurchase agreements was 5.19% and the weighted average term to next rate adjustment was 301 days.

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the unamortized net premium paid for our Agency MBS was $66 million and $72 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2007, the current yield on our Agency MBS portfolio was 5.65% based on a weighted average coupon of 5.73% divided by the average amortized cost of 101.3%. At December 31, 2006, the current yield on our Agency MBS portfolio was 5.54% based on a weighted average coupon of 5.63% divided by the average amortized cost of 101.55%.

We analyze our MBS and the extent to which prepayments impact the yield of the securities. When the rate of prepayments exceeds expectations, we amortize the premiums paid on mortgage assets over a shorter time period, resulting in a reduced yield to maturity on our mortgage assets. Conversely, if actual prepayments are less than the assumed constant prepayment rate, the premium would be amortized over a longer time period, resulting in a higher yield to maturity.

Non-Agency MBS Portfolio

At June 30, 2007, our Non-Agency MBS portfolio consisted of $112 million of CMO floaters with an average coupon of 5.58% which were acquired at par value. At December 31, 2006, our Non-Agency MBS portfolio consisted of $118 million of CMO floaters with an average coupon of 5.58% which were acquired at par value.

BT Other MBS Portfolio

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s portfolio of BT Other MBS at fair value includes securities which are backed by first-lien hybrid and adjustable-rate residential mortgages. These MBS include investment and non-investment grade securities with a carrying value of approximately $201 million backed by 25.7% hybrid, 74.0% adjustable-rate and 0.3% fixed-rate mortgages by carrying value. This amount includes approximately $7.6 million in securities that were retained from Belvedere Trust’s first securitization (HYB1) (accounted for as

37

a sale) consisting of $0.4 million in securities rated AAA, $5.7 million in other investment grade securities and $1.4 million in non-investment grade securities. The remaining balance of approximately $193 million was securities that were purchased from major issuers and consist of $42 million of securities rated from A+ to A-, $145 million of securities rated from BBB+ to BBB- and $6 million in non-investment grade securities. These ratings reference the Standard & Poor’s rating system; for securities where Standard & Poor’s ratings were unavailable, they were derived from the available Moody’s ratings. Approximately 85.1% by principal amount of the acquired securities are backed by pay option ARMs. As of June 30, 2007, 0.67% by principal balance of the loans supporting the securitizations from which these securities were acquired were 60 days delinquent and 1.49% were 90+ days delinquent, including foreclosures and real estate owned.

Belvedere Trust’s $193 million in acquired non-investment grade securities includes first loss securities with a par value of $1.2 million and a carrying value of $367 thousand that bear primary credit risk associated with residential real estate loans with a face value of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2007. When Belvedere Trust acquires these securities, the purchase price generally includes a discount associated with the credit risk. If the credit losses from the underlying residential real estate loans exceed this discount, this would cause a reduction in earnings. As of June 30, 2007, there have been credit losses of approximately $15 thousand on these acquired securities. Belvedere Trust has not incurred any credit loss expenses on these securities, as the credit losses did not exceed the discount. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust had incurred approximately $39 thousand in credit losses on the first loss securities retained from HYB1, which was applied against the purchase discount.

At December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust’s portfolio of BT Other MBS at fair value included securities which are backed by first-lien hybrid and adjustable-rate residential mortgages. These MBS include investment grade and non-investment grade securities with a carrying value of approximately $162.8 million backed by 29.7% hybrid, 70.0% adjustable-rate and 0.3% fixed-rate mortgages by carrying value. This amount includes approximately $21.9 million in securities that were retained from Belvedere Trust’s first securitization (HYB1) (accounted for as a sale) consisting of $13.3 million in securities rated AAA, $6.8 million in other investment grade securities and $1.8 million in non-investment grade securities. The remaining balance of approximately $140.9 million were securities that were purchased from major issuers and consist of $127.0 million in investment grade securities and $13.9 million in non-investment grade securities.

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s portfolio of BT Other MBS had a weighted average coupon of 6.63%. At December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust’s portfolio of BT Other MBS had a weighted average coupon of 6.52%.

At June 30, 2007, the average amortized cost of BT Other MBS was 97.83%. At December 31, 2006, the average amortized cost of BT Other MBS was 90.70%.

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s Other MBS that have been acquired from other issuers are backed by mortgage loans with an average borrower FICO of 711 and an average loan-to-value, or LTV, of 74.

At June 30, 2007, the weighted average FICO was 728 and the LTV was 72. At December 31, 2006, the weighted average FICO was 727 and the LTV was 72.

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio had a weighted average gross coupon of 6.32% and a weighted average net coupon of 5.96%. The difference between the weighted average gross coupon and the weighted average net coupon is due primarily to servicing fees. At December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio had a weighted average gross coupon of 6.18% and a weighted average net coupon of 5.82%.

At June 30, 2007, the average amortized cost of Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio was 101.55%. At December 31, 2006, the average amortized cost of Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio was 101.59%.

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio was $1.36 billion, consisting of securitized loans. There were no loans pending securitization. Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio consisted of 3,682 loans with an average loan balance of $362 thousand. The securitized residential real estate loans serve as collateral for $1.2 billion of MBS issued and $126 million of repurchase agreement financings. More detailed information on Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans is included in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2006, Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio was $1.7 billion, consisting of securitized loans. There were no loans pending securitization. Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio consisted of 4,522 loans with an average loan balance of $365 thousand. The securitized residential real estate loans serve as collateral for $1.5 billion of MBS issued and $155 million of repurchase agreement financings.

Hedging

We periodically enter into derivative transactions, in the form of forward purchase commitments and interest rate swaps, which are intended to hedge our exposure to rising rates on funds borrowed to finance our investments in securities. We designate interest rate swap transactions as cash flow hedges. We also periodically enter into derivative transactions, in the form of forward purchase commitments, which are not designated as hedges. To the extent that we enter into hedging transactions to reduce our interest rate risk on indebtedness incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets, any income or gain from the disposition of hedging transactions should be qualifying income for purposes of the REIT rules 95% gross income test, but not the 75% gross income test.

As part of our asset/liability management policy, we may enter into hedging agreements such as interest rate caps, floors or swaps. These agreements would be entered into to try to reduce interest rate risk and would be

39

designed to provide us with income and capital appreciation in the event of certain changes in interest rates. We review the need for hedging agreements on a regular basis consistent with our capital investment policy. At June 30, 2007, we were a counter-party to swap agreements, which are derivative instruments as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in FASB No. 133 and FASB No. 138, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion and an average maturity of 2.5 years. We utilize swap agreements to manage interest rate risk and do not anticipate entering into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. In accordance with the swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest during the term of the swap agreements and receive a payment that varies with the three-month LIBOR rate. At June 30, 2007, there were unrealized gains of approximately $10.4 million on our swap agreements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of funds consists of repurchase agreements, relative to our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios, which totaled $4.5 billion at June 30, 2007 and Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreements, which totaled $288 million at June 30, 2007. Our other significant source of funds for the three months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of payments of principal from our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS and BT Residential Loans portfolios in the amounts of $355 million, $6.4 million, $1.4 million and $166 million, respectively.

Relative to our Agency MBS portfolio at June 30, 2007, all of our repurchase agreements were fixed-rate term repurchase agreements with original maturities ranging from 3 days to 24 months. Belvedere Trust enters into its own repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreements included one repurchase agreement that resets monthly based on one-month LIBOR and 13 repurchase agreements that are fixed for 18 months and then floating for 18 months thereafter. The balance of Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreements were fixed-rate term repurchase agreements with original maturities ranging from 3 days to 36 months. At June 30, 2007, we had borrowing arrangements with 26 different financial institutions and had borrowed funds under repurchase agreements with 14 of these firms. As the repurchase agreements mature, we enter into new repurchase agreements to take their place. Because we borrow money based on the fair value of our MBS and because increases in short-term interest rates can negatively impact the valuation of MBS, our borrowing ability could be reduced and lenders may initiate margin calls in the event short-term interest rates increase or the value of our MBS declines for other reasons. We had adequate cash flow, liquid assets and unpledged collateral with which to meet our margin requirements during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

We have acquired residential mortgage loans from third party originators, including banks and other mortgage lenders, through our Belvedere Trust subsidiary. Belvedere Trust structures securitization transactions primarily through SPEs (such as REMIC trusts). The principal business activity involves issuing various series of MBS (in the form of pass-through certificates or bonds collateralized by residential real estate loans). The collateral specific to each MBS series is the sole source of repayment of the debt and, therefore, our exposure to loss is limited to our net investment in the collateral, as described in Note 4 to the accompanying financial statements.

In accordance with our investment guidelines, Belvedere Trust has the opportunity to invest in asset classes other than mortgage loans intended for securitization. Such investments may be attractive, among other times, when the cost of acquiring residential real estate loans has increased to a point where it becomes un-economical to securitize these loans. This situation may happen at various points of the business and credit cycle, especially when loan production decreases. Belvedere Trust has not securitized loans since May 25, 2005 because of such circumstances. Investments have instead been made in senior and subordinated tranches from various issuers’ securitizations. The analyses and investment decisions have been based on a similar approach to what Belvedere Trust typically has done for the acquisition of residential real estate loans intended for its own securitizations. It is Belvedere Trust’s intent to securitize residential real estate loans again under its shelf registration statement when the price of residential real estate loans relative to securitization execution makes it feasible.

40

In the future, we expect that our primary sources of funds will continue to consist of borrowed funds under repurchase agreement transactions and of monthly payments of principal and interest on our MBS portfolio and other mortgage-related assets. Our liquid assets generally consist of unpledged MBS, cash and cash equivalents.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we raised approximately $425 thousand in capital under our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.

At June 30, 2007, our authorized capital included 20 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock.

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust did not have any commitments to purchase mortgage loans. Belvedere Trust had whole loan financing facilities which provide for up to $400 million in financing secured by single-family mortgage loans. At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust had no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.

At June 30, 2007, Belvedere Trust had no commitments to acquire MBS.

Off-Balance Sheet and Contractual Arrangements

(1) These represent amounts due by maturity.

(2) Principal is paid on the MBS issued following receipt of principal payments on the loans. For the table above, the principal payments have been estimated based on the underlying contractual payments as adjusted for prepayment assumptions. The actual principal paid in each year will be dependent upon the principal received on the underlying loans. These estimates may change significantly from the amounts presented above.

(3) These represent amounts due by contractual maturity. However, we do have the option to redeem these after March 30, 2010 and April 30, 2010 as more fully described in Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(4) This does not include annual compensation agreements and incentive compensation agreements, which are more fully described in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(5) In February 2007, we issued 1.15 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as more fully described in Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements). The Series B Preferred Stock is not listed in the above table, as it has no maturity date and is not redeemable.

Stockholders’ Equity

We use available-for-sale treatment for our Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS portfolios and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS portfolio, which are carried on our balance sheet at fair value rather than historical cost. Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans are held for investment and carried at historical amortized cost. Based upon these treatments, stockholders’ equity available to common stockholders at quarter end was

41

approximately $423 million, or $9.27 per share. The $423 million equals total stockholders’ equity of $472 million less the Series A Preferred Stock liquidating value of $46.88 million and less the difference between the Series B Preferred Stock liquidating value of $28.75 million and the proceeds from its sale of $26.86 million.

Under our available-for-sale accounting treatment, unrealized fluctuations in fair values of assets are assessed to determine whether they are other-than-temporary. To the extent we determine that these unrealized fluctuations are not other-than-temporary, they do not impact GAAP income or taxable income but rather are reflected on the balance sheet by changing the carrying value of the assets and reflecting the change in stockholders’ equity under “Accumulated other comprehensive income, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities.”

As a result of this mark-to-market accounting treatment, our book value and book value per share are likely to fluctuate far more than if we used historical amortized cost accounting on all of our assets. As a result, comparisons with some companies that use historical cost accounting for all of their balance sheet may not be meaningful.

Unrealized changes in the fair value of MBS have one significant and direct effect on our potential earnings and dividends: positive mark-to-market changes will increase our equity base and allow us to increase our borrowing capacity, while negative changes will tend to reduce borrowing capacity under our capital investment policy. A very large negative change in the net market value of our MBS might reduce our liquidity, requiring us to sell assets with the likely result of realized losses upon sale. “Accumulative other comprehensive income, unrealized loss” on our available-for-sale Agency MBS portfolio was $61 million, or 1.24% of the amortized cost of Agency MBS, at June 30, 2007. This, along with “Accumulative other comprehensive loss, Non-Agency MBS” of $235 thousand, “Accumulative other comprehensive gain, derivatives,” of $10.4 million, and “Accumulative other comprehensive loss, BT Other MBS,” of $16.7 million, constitute the total “Accumulative other comprehensive loss” of $67.5 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management has the obligation to ensure that its accounting policies and methodologies are in accordance with GAAP. Management has reviewed and evaluated its critical accounting policies and believes them to be appropriate and in accordance with GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. In preparing these unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe that there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to accounting policies described below. Nevertheless, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management believes the more significant of these to be as follows:

Revenue Recognition

The most significant source of our revenue is derived from our investments in mortgage-related assets. We reflect income using the effective yield method which, through amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts at an effective yield, recognizes periodic income over the estimated life of the investment on a constant yield basis, as adjusted for actual prepayment activity. Management believes our revenue recognition policies are appropriate to reflect the substance of the underlying transactions.

42

Interest income on our mortgage-related assets is accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal amounts of the underlying mortgages. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the expected lives of the securities using the effective interest yield method, adjusted for the effects of actual prepayments based on SFAS 91. Our policy for estimating prepayment speeds for calculating the effective yield is to evaluate historical performance, street consensus prepayment speeds and current market conditions. If our estimate of prepayments is incorrect, as compared to the aforementioned references, we may be required to make an adjustment to the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts that would have an impact on future income.

Interest income on Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS portfolio is determined in accordance with EITF 99-20. The excess of estimated future cash flows over the initial investment is the accretable yield to be recognized as interest income over the life of the investment using the effective yield method. If the current fair value of any individual security is lower than its current amortized cost, we determine whether an impairment charge is required to be taken through current income. If there is a continued adverse change in estimated cash flows (considering both the timing and the amount of the cash flows and taking into consideration receipt of cash flows to date), then the security is written down to fair value, which then becomes the new amortized cost basis for future amortization.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Belvedere Trust establishes and maintains an allowance for estimated loan losses inherent in its BT Residential Loans portfolio. The loan loss reserves are based upon our assessment of various factors affecting the credit quality of Belvedere Trust’s assets including, but not limited to, the characteristics of the loan portfolio, review of loan level data, borrowers’ credit scores, delinquency and collateral value. The reserves are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted as deemed necessary. The allowance for loan losses on Belvedere Trust’s BT Residential Loans portfolio is established by taking loan loss provisions through our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Valuation and Classification of Investment Securities

We carry our investment securities on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of our MBS are generally based on market prices provided by certain dealers who make markets in such securities. The fair values of other marketable securities are obtained from the last reported sale of such securities on its principal exchange or, if no representative sale is reported, the mean between the closing bid and ask prices. If, in the opinion of management, one or more securities prices reported to us are not reliable or unavailable, management estimates the fair value based on characteristics of the security it receives from the issuer and available market information. The fair values reported reflect estimates and may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange. We review various factors (i.e., expected cash flows, changes in interest rates, credit protection, etc.) in determining whether and to what extent an other-than-temporary impairment exists. To the extent that unrealized losses on our Agency MBS portfolio and Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS portfolio are attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and we have the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) its cost, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Losses on securities classified as available-for-sale, which are determined by management to be other-than-temporary in nature, are reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” to current-period income.

Variable Interest Entities

Belvedere Trust structures securitization transactions primarily through non-qualified SPEs (such as REMIC trusts). The principal business activity of these non-qualified SPEs involves issuing various series of MBS (in the form of pass-through certificates or bonds collateralized by residential real estate loans). The collateral specific to each series of MBS is the sole source of repayment of the debt and, therefore, our exposure to loss is limited to

43

our net investment in the collateral. Under FIN 46, these interests in non-qualified SPEs are deemed to be VIEs and we are considered the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we consolidate these non-qualified SPEs. In addition, we consolidate our interests in loans financed through warehouse agreements where we are acquiring assets prior to securitization. We disclose our interests in VIEs under FIN 46 in the “Investments in Residential Real Estate Loans” footnote (Note 4 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements).

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In accordance with FASB No. 133, as amended by FASB No. 138, a derivative that is designated as a hedge is recognized as an asset/liability and measured at estimated fair value. In order for our interest rate swap agreements to qualify for hedge accounting, upon entering into the swap agreement, we must anticipate that the hedge will be highly “effective,” as defined by FASB No. 133.

On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a “cash flow” hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that are highly effective and that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in “Other comprehensive income” and reclassified to income when the forecasted transaction affects income (e.g., when periodic settlement interest payments are due on repurchase agreements). The swap agreements are carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value based on values obtained from major financial institutions. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in current-period income.

We formally assess both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. If it is determined that a derivative is not (or has ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting.

When we discontinue hedge accounting, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and is reclassified into income when the forecasted transaction affects income. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we will carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current-period income.

For purposes of the cash flow statement, cash flows from derivative instruments are classified with the cash flows from the hedged item.

Residential Real Estate Loans

Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans are classified as held-for-investment and are carried at their unpaid principal balance, adjusted for unamortized premiums or discounts. Premiums or discounts are amortized into current operations using the effective interest yield method, as adjusted for actual prepayments and considering estimated future prepayments, based on SFAS 91.

Belvedere Trust maintains an allowance for loan losses for residential real estate loans held in consolidated securitization trusts and for loans held prior to securitization. The balance is included in “Allowance for loan losses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes

Other than BT Finance, as noted below, our financial results do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes. Management believes that we have and intend to continue to operate in a manner that will continue to allow us to be taxed as a REIT and, as a result, does not expect to pay substantial corporate level taxes. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we would be subject to federal income tax.

44

BT Finance, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is a taxable REIT subsidiary and may be liable for corporate income tax expenses.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, there has been a substantial increase in the yield spread of many MBS relative to Treasuries. As of August 6, 2007, higher yields, as well as significantly reduced trading liquidity, have been particularly evident in the market for non-agency MBS with credit ratings below AAA. Financing conditions for certain sectors of the mortgage market have become more difficult as well. These market conditions have had little impact on the Company’s Agency MBS portfolio, or the Company’s financing of its Agency MBS via repurchase agreements. At Belvedere Trust, these market conditions have resulted in a decline in the market valuation of securities in its BT Other MBS portfolio as well as certain MBS retained from the securitization of its loan portfolio relative to these securities’ fair value as of June 30, 2007. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, and as of August 6, 2007, the declines in security valuations have resulted in both a reduction in the amount of repurchase agreement borrowings used to finance these securities as well as requests for additional collateral from Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreement lenders related to the financing of its portfolio holdings.

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company has made intercompany loans to Belvedere Trust to both reduce the amount of repurchase agreements outstanding and to satisfy requests for additional collateral from Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreement lenders related to the financing of Belvedere Trust’s portfolio holdings. As of August 6, 2007, the outstanding balance of these intercompany loans was $34 million. As of August 6, 2007, the balance of Belvedere Trust’s repurchase agreement borrowings has been reduced to approximately $267 million and Belvedere Trust has continued to remain current on all of its financing obligations under its repurchase agreement borrowings.

With regard to sources of liquidity at Anworth, as of June 30, 2007, the Company owned Agency MBS at a fair value of $205.9 million which were not pledged to counterparties relative to its outstanding repurchase agreement borrowings. These unpledged assets can be used to provide additional collateral for financing secured by both the Company’s Agency MBS as well as the MBS owned by Belvedere Trust. The amount of unpledged Agency MBS is temporarily reduced during the course of each month, as there is a built-in delay of several weeks between when principal on the underlying loans is paid at the beginning of each month and when the payments are remitted to the Company by the Agencies guaranteeing these securities. As of August 6, 2007, the estimated receivable for the monthly Agency MBS principal payments is approximately $104 million. In addition to the unpledged Agency securities, the Company could potentially raise additional liquidity through the sale of any of its securities. The market for the Company’s Agency MBS continues to be liquid and, as of August 6, 2007, market valuations for its Agency MBS portfolio are estimated to be higher than as of June 30, 2007. As of August 6, 2007, neither the Company nor Belvedere Trust has sold securities subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

On July 12, 2007, we declared a common stock dividend of $0.05 per share which is payable on August 10, 2007 to our common stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 31, 2007.

On July 12, 2007, we declared a Series A Preferred Stock dividend of $0.539063 per share which is payable on October 15, 2007 to our holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on September 28, 2007.

On July 12, 2007, we declared a Series B Preferred Stock dividend of $0.390625 per share which is payable on October 15, 2007 to our holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock as of the close of business on September 28, 2007.

Since June 30, 2007, we have sold 56 thousand shares of Series B Preferred Stock under our amended Sales Agreement with Cantor (as described in Note 11), which provided net proceeds to us of approximately

45

$1.38 million. The sales agent received an aggregate of approximately $28 thousand, which represents an average commission of approximately 2.0% on the gross sales price per share.

Since June 30, 2007, we have entered into three additional swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million for terms of up to five years. We utilize swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. In accordance with these swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest during the term of the swap agreements and receive a payment that varies with the three-month LIBOR rate.

Item 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We seek to manage the interest rate, market value, liquidity, prepayment and credit risks inherent in all financial institutions in a prudent manner designed to insure our longevity while, at the same time, seeking to provide an opportunity for stockholders to realize attractive total rates of return through ownership of our common stock. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek, to the best of our ability, to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify taking those risks and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risks we undertake.

Interest Rate Risk

We primarily invest in adjustable-rate, hybrid and fixed-rate mortgage-related assets. Hybrid mortgages are ARMs that have a fixed interest rate for an initial period of time (typically three years or greater) and then convert to an adjustable-rate for the remaining loan term. Our debt obligations are generally repurchase agreements of limited duration that are periodically refinanced at current market rates.

ARM-related assets are typically subject to periodic and lifetime interest rate caps that limit the amount an ARM-related asset’s interest rate can change during any given period. ARM securities are also typically subject to a minimum interest rate payable. Our borrowings are not subject to similar restrictions. Hence, in a period of increasing interest rates, interest rates on our borrowings could increase without limitation, while the interest rates on our mortgage-related assets could be limited. This problem would be magnified to the extent we acquire mortgage-related assets that are not fully indexed. Further, some ARM-related assets may be subject to periodic payment caps that result in some portion of the interest being deferred and added to the principal outstanding. These factors could lower our net interest income or cause a net loss during periods of rising interest rates, which would negatively impact our liquidity, net income and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

We fund the purchase of a substantial portion of our ARM-related assets with borrowings that have interest rates based on indices and repricing terms similar to, but of somewhat shorter maturities than, the interest rate indices and repricing terms of our mortgage assets. Thus, we anticipate that in most cases the interest rate indices and repricing terms of our mortgage assets and our funding sources will not be identical, thereby creating an interest rate mismatch between assets and liabilities. During periods of changing interest rates, such interest rate mismatches could negatively impact our net interest income, dividend yield and the market price of our common stock.

Most of our adjustable-rate assets are based on the one-year constant maturity treasury rate and the one-year LIBOR rate and our debt obligations are generally based on LIBOR. These indices generally move in the same direction, but there can be no assurance that this will continue to occur.

Our ARM-related assets and borrowings reset at various different dates for the specific asset or obligation. In general, the repricing of our debt obligations occurs more quickly than on our assets. Therefore, on average, our cost of funds may rise or fall more quickly than does our earnings rate on the assets.

Further, our net income may vary somewhat as the spread between one-month interest rates and six- and twelve-month interest rates vary.

Belvedere Trust has implemented an interest rate risk management program intended to protect its portfolio of mortgage-related assets and the related debt against the effects of major interest rate changes. Belvedere Trust primarily uses securitization transactions to manage the interest rate risk of its mortgage portfolio. The payments due on the securities generally match the cash flow from the underlying mortgage loans. Belvedere Trust’s interest rate risk management program is formulated with the intent to offset, to some extent, the potential adverse effects resulting from rate adjustment limitations on its portfolio of mortgage-related assets and the differences between interest rate adjustment indices and interest rate adjustment periods of its adjustable-rate mortgage-related assets and related borrowings. Belvedere Trust finances certain of its retained and acquired securities with repurchase agreements which have different adjustment periods than the related assets. As part of its interest rate risk management program, Belvedere Trust has entered into term repurchase agreements that fix the rate of interest or, in some cases, cap the rate of interest on a portion of the borrowings secured by Belvedere Trust’s mortgage-related assets.

Market Value Risk

Substantially all of our MBS are classified as available-for-sale assets. As such, they are reflected at fair value (i.e., market value) with the periodic adjustment to fair value reflected as part of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” that is included in the equity section of our balance sheet. The market value of our assets can fluctuate due to changes in interest rates and other factors.

Liquidity Risk

Our primary liquidity risk arises from financing long-maturity MBS with short-term debt. The interest rates on our borrowings generally adjust more frequently than the interest rates on our adjustable-rate MBS. For example, at June 30, 2007, our Agency MBS and Non-Agency adjustable-rate MBS had a weighted average term to next rate adjustment of approximately 29 months while our borrowings had a weighted average term to next rate adjustment of 85 days. After adjusting for interest rate swap transactions, the weighted average term to next rate adjustment was 364 days. Accordingly, in a period of rising interest rates, our borrowing costs will usually increase faster than our interest earnings from MBS. As a result, we could experience a decrease in net income or a net loss during these periods (this occurred in 2006). Our assets that are pledged to secure short-term borrowings are high-quality liquid assets. As a result, we have not had difficulty rolling over our short-term borrowings as they mature. There can be no assurance that we will always be able to roll over our short-term debt.

At June 30, 2007, we had unrestricted cash of $320 thousand and $212 million in unpledged Agency MBS and Non-Agency MBS available to meet margin calls on short-term borrowings that could be caused by asset value declines or changes in lender collateralization requirements.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayments are the full or partial repayment of principal prior to the original term to maturity of a mortgage loan and typically occur due to refinancing of mortgage loans. Prepayment rates on mortgage-related securities and mortgage loans vary from time to time and may cause changes in the amount of our net interest income. Prepayments of ARM loans usually can be expected to increase when mortgage interest rates fall below the then-current interest rates on such loans and decrease when mortgage interest rates exceed the then-current interest rate on such loans, although such effects are not entirely predictable. Prepayment rates may also be affected by the conditions in the housing and financial markets, general economic conditions and the relative interest rates on fixed-rate loans and ARM loans underlying MBS. The purchase prices of MBS are generally based upon assumptions regarding the expected amounts and rates of prepayments. Where slow prepayment assumptions are made, we may pay a premium for MBS. To the extent such assumptions differ from the actual amounts of prepayments, we could experience reduced earnings or losses. The total prepayment of any MBS purchased at a premium by us would result in the immediate write-off of any remaining capitalized premium amount and a reduction of our net interest income by such amount. Finally, in the event that we are unable to acquire new MBS to replace the prepaid MBS, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be harmed.

We often purchase mortgage-related assets that have a higher interest rate than the market interest rate at the time. In exchange for this higher interest rate, we must pay a premium over par value to acquire these assets. In accordance with accounting rules, we amortize this premium over the term of the mortgage-backed security. As we receive repayments of mortgage principal, we amortize the premium balances as a reduction to our income. If the mortgage loans underlying a mortgage-backed security were prepaid at a faster rate than we anticipate, we would amortize the premium at a faster rate. This would reduce our income.

Tabular Presentation

Anworth’s MBS

The information presented in the table below projects the impact of sudden changes in interest rates on Anworth’s annual Projected Net Interest Income and Projected Portfolio Value (excluding Belvedere Trust’s operations) as more fully discussed below, based on investments in place at June 30, 2007 and includes all of our interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and hedges, such as interest rate swap agreements.

Changes in Projected Net Interest Income equals the change that would occur in the calculated Projected Net Interest Income for the next twelve months relative to the 0% change scenario if interest rates were to instantaneously parallel shift to and remain at the stated level for the next twelve months.

Changes in Projected Portfolio Value equals the change in value of our assets that we carry at fair value rather than at historical amortized cost and any change in the value of any derivative instruments or hedges, such as interest rate swap agreements. We acquire interest rate-sensitive assets and fund them with interest rate-sensitive liabilities. We generally plan to retain such assets and the associated interest rate risk to maturity.

Change in Interest Rates	Percentage Change in Projected Net Interest Income	Percentage Change In Projected Portfolio Value
–2.0%	–68%	–0.1%
–1.0%	37%	0.6%
0%	—	—
1.0%	–91%	–1.8%
2.0%	–183%	–4.1%

When interest rates are shocked, prepayment assumptions are adjusted based on management’s best estimate of the effects of changes in interest rates on prepayment speeds. For example, under current market conditions, a 100 basis point decline in interest rates is estimated to result in a 64% increase in the prepayment rate of our Agency MBS portfolio. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at June 30, 2007. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table. The above table includes the effect of interest rate swap agreements. At June 30, 2007, the aggregate notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $1.5 billion and the weighted average maturity was 2.5 years.

The information presented in the table below projects the impact of sudden changes in interest rates on Anworth’s annual Projected Net Income and Projected Portfolio Value compared to the base case used in the table above (excluding Belvedere Trust’s operations) and excludes the effect of the interest rate swap agreements.

Change in Interest Rates	Percentage Change in Projected Net Interest Income	Percentage Change In Projected Portfolio Value
–2.0%	7%	1.2%
–1.0%	59%	1.2%
0%	—	—
1.0%	–173%	–2.4%
2.0%	–318%	–5.3%

Belvedere Trust’s BT Other MBS

The information presented in the table below projects the impact of sudden changes in interest rates on Belvedere Trust’s annual Projected Net Income and Projected Portfolio Value as more fully discussed below based on investments in place at June 30, 2007. Changes in Projected Portfolio Value equals the change in value of the assets that Belvedere Trust carries at fair value (shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “BT Other MBS”) rather than at historical amortized cost, divided by Belvedere Trust’s equity. Belvedere Trust’s residential real estate loans are carried at historical amortized cost and, therefore, are not included in Projected Portfolio Value in the table below. Belvedere Trust acquires interest rate-sensitive assets and funds them with interest rate-sensitive liabilities. Belvedere Trust generally plans to retain such assets and the associated interest rate risk to maturity.

Change in Interest Rates	Percentage Change in Projected Net Interest Income	Percentage Change In Projected Portfolio Value
–2.0%	–11.3%	1.5%
–1.0%	–2.6%	0.9%
0%	—	—
1.0%	–2.7%	–1.4%
2.0%	–13.8%	–3.4%

When interest rates are shocked, prepayment assumptions are adjusted based on management’s best estimate of the effects of changes in interest rates on prepayment speeds. For example, under current market conditions, a 100 basis point decline in interest rates is estimated to result in an increase from 28% to 31% in the prepayment rate of Belvedere Trust’s mortgage-related assets (which include those assets that have been securitized). The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at June 30, 2007. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.

General

Many assumptions are made to present the information in the above tables and, as such, there can be no assurance that assumed events will occur, or that other events will not occur, that would affect the outcomes; therefore, the above tables and all related disclosures constitute forward-looking statements. The analyses presented utilize assumptions and estimates based on management’s judgment and experience. Furthermore, future sales, acquisitions and restructuring could materially change the interest rate risk profile for us and Belvedere Trust. The tables quantify the potential changes in net income and net asset value should interest rates immediately change (are “shocked”). The results of interest rate shocks of plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points are presented. The cash flows associated with the portfolio of mortgage-related assets for each rate shock are calculated based on a variety of assumptions including prepayment speeds, time until coupon reset, yield on future acquisitions, slope of the yield curve and size of the portfolio. Assumptions made on the interest rate-sensitive liabilities, which are repurchase agreements, include anticipated interest rates (no negative rates are utilized), collateral requirements as a percent of the repurchase agreement and amount of borrowing. Assumptions made in calculating the impact on net asset value of interest rate shocks include interest rates, prepayment rates and the yield spread of mortgage-related assets relative to prevailing interest rates.
