FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws and, if so, are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Fieldstone’s ability to control or predict, including but not limited to (i) Fieldstone’s ability to successfully implement its portfolio strategy; (ii) interest rate volatility and the level of interest rates generally; (iii) the sustainability of loan origination volumes; (iv) continued availability of credit facilities for the origination of mortgage loans; (v) the ability to sell or securitize mortgage loans; (vi) deterioration in the credit quality of Fieldstone’s loan portfolio; (vii) the nature and amount of competition; (viii) the impact of changes to the fair value of our interest rate swaps on our net income, which will vary based upon changes in interest rates and could cause net income to vary significantly from quarter to quarter; and (ix) other risks and uncertainties outlined in Fieldstone Investment Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 25, 2005, and other documents filed by Fieldstone from time to time with the SEC. Neither Fieldstone nor any of its affiliates undertakes any obligations to revise publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
REGULATION G DISCLOSURES
Information on core net income, core net income before taxes, core earnings per share (diluted), core net interest income after provision, core book value per share, pre-tax margin on non-conforming loans sold, REIT taxable income and REIT taxable income per share appearing elsewhere in this presentation may fall under the SEC’s definition of “non-GAAP financial measures.” Management believes the core financial measures are useful because they include the current period effects of Fieldstone’s economic hedging program but exclude the non-cash mark to market derivative value changes. The portion of the non-cash mark to market amounts excluded from the core financial measures that ultimately will be a component of future core financial measures depends on the level of actual interest rates in the future. Management believes the presentation of pre-tax margin on non-conforming loans sold provides useful information to the investors because it discloses the total economic contribution to the company from the sale of non-conforming loans. Management believes the presentation of REIT taxable income and REIT taxable income per share provides useful information to investors regarding the annual distribution to our investors. As required by Regulation G, a reconciliation of each of these core financial measures to the most directly comparable measure under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is available on Fieldstone’s website at www.FieldstoneInvestment.com.

Fieldstone’s Investment Proposition
• REIT / TRS business model for stable income over time:
• Investment Portfolio already $4.5 B*, target $7.0 B in ‘06, 13:1 leverage
• TRS with national franchise, originating > $6.0 B N-C loans / year
• Retain cash gains from TRS sales of excess loan originations
• Experienced Portfolio Management:
• Manage liquidity, interest rate, yield curve and prepayment risk
• Cash flow immediately from limited leverage and no NIM sales
• ARM loans primarily, hedge 2/28’s with swaps
• Issue MBS for life-of-loan match funding, current cash flow
• Retain own loans for high quality and low basis in portfolio
• CEO first managed REIT mortgage portfolio in 1988
• Market Opportunity:
• Borrowers transition to N-C / Alt-A as debt ratios rise
• N-C lending based on RE values, not falling int. rates
• Fieldstone focuses on growing owner-occupied purchase sector
• Residential real estate values will continue to increase over time:
• RE prices supported by strong demand, limited supply
• Fieldstone’s average properties are ~ $240,000, $356,000 in CA

Market Conditions and Opportunity
• Non-conforming credit mortgage market is stable and growing
• Growing market as consumer debt and interest rates rise
• Prime borrowers “transition” with higher payments and debt ratios
• Originations based on real estate values not changes in interest rates
• Fixed Income market provides deep liquidity
• Wide demand for the asset class, supports whole loan sale prices
• Spreads of investment grade MBS are near historic tight margins
• If spreads widen, Fieldstone will benefit as an investor in its loans
• Residential Real Estate values have continued to increase
• Housing Market driven by increased demand, limited supply
• Purchase market growing: MBA estimate $1.5 T in 2006
• Positive total return opportunity in REIT investment portfolio
• Life-of-Pool returns on new ARM loans still attractive
• Forward rates, losses, prepayments and expenses modeled
• Ability to grow capital base and portfolio with TRS earnings
18
Fieldstone’s Origination Franchise
• Mortgage Loan Operations: driven by technology:
• On-Line loan pre-qual’s and submissions
• Electronic document delivery, funding and imaging
• New LOS to increase loans per person, lower orig. cost
• Established loan origination channels (in TRS):
• Focus on loan quality, customer service and operating efficiency
• Opportunistic product development
• Revenue-based commissions
• Quality-based incentives
• Cultivate a learning organization to enhance products, customer service and operating efficiencies
• Began loan originations in 1996
19
Underwriting Philosophy
“Hardest place to deliver a bad loan”
• Rigorous appraisal review checklist:
• AVM screening of all loans
• Reviews:
• Enhanced desk reviews
• National firm field review or 2nd full appraisal

• Highly rated sub-servicer: Chase Home Finance, LLC
• Fitch: RPS1- and RSS1- (primary subprime and special servicing, respectively)
• Moody’s: SQ1 (subprime servicing)
• S&P: “STRONG” and on its select servicer list
• Wells Fargo Bank is engaged on securitizations as:
