Michael Strauss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "In many
respects, the third quarter was a breakout period for our Company. During the
quarter, net interest income grew to $32.9 million compared with $20.1 million
during the second quarter of 2004. In addition, the book value of our
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") portfolio, excluding capital raises,
increased $59.5 million causing book value per common share to reach a record
$18.42. Loan production was $5.3 billion, down 25.4% compared to the $7.1
billion production level achieved during the third quarter of 2003, but
favorable given Fannie Mae's estimate that national loan production declined 51%
over the same comparison period. During the third quarter, lending to homebuyers
accounted for 64% of production, while refinancing dropped to 36% of production,
its lowest level since 2000. During the quarter we substantially increased the
size of our experienced sales force, adding 372 additional loan officers to our
ranks. These additions are expected to increase loan production during the
fourth quarter."

Mr. Strauss continued, "We are very pleased with the progress our company has
made since its conversion to a REIT last December. Our portfolio yield, driven
by selectively holding self-originated securities, has increased substantially.
In addition, our production franchise has expanded so that during the third
quarter, even as refinancing became a smaller portion of the market, our loan
production activity was a strong contributor to profits. We are especially
pleased that the combined prospects for our portfolio and origination businesses
have caused our Board of Directors to increase our dividend policy, while
enabling us to raise earnings guidance for 2004 and to provide positive earnings
guidance for 2005."

Third Quarter Results
- ---------------------

During the third quarter, the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio
averaged $7.2 billion, earned a net interest margin of 1.40%, and earned net
interest income of $24.7 million. This compares favorably to the second quarter
when the MBS portfolio averaged $4.8 billion, earned a net interest margin of
0.90% and earned net interest income of $10.7 million.

At September 30, the composition of the MBS portfolio by type of loan was 69.5%
5/1 ARMs, 16.6% short reset ARMs, and 13.9% 3/1 ARMs. The composition of the MBS
portfolio by credit quality based on Standard & Poor's ratings was 96.5% Agency
and AAA, 1.3% AA and A, and 2.2% BBB or lower or unrated. On September 30, the
MBS portfolio's duration, net of liabilities and hedges, was estimated to be
- -0.002 years, its projected average life was 2.4 years, and its average cost was
100.7% of par. During the quarter, the Company earned additional net interest
income on its loan inventory held pending sale or securitization of $12.6
million on an average inventory balance of $2.1 billion. During the second
quarter 2004, the Company earned $13.6 million of net interest income on its
loan inventory which had an average balance of $2.0 billion.





During the quarter, the Company securitized $2.7 billion of newly originated
loans through collateralized debt and agency pass-through transactions. The
collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) were structured to enhance the yield of
securities retained. Of the securities created, $1.4 billion were retained in
the MBS portfolio while $1.3 billion were sold for a cash gain of $29.4 million.
The $1.4 billion of retained securities had a projected yield of 4.02%, an
estimated duration of 1.73 years, an expected average life of 1.97 years, and
were valued at an average price of 102.4% of par, and created an unrealized gain
of $26.4 million. Changes to prepayment speeds and other factors may prevent the
projected yield, estimated duration or expected average life from being
realized. During the quarter, $1.7 billion of other securities were sold,
largely to make room for the higher-yielding, retained securities. The sold
securities resulted in a loss, net of discontinued hedges of the associated
liabilities of $4.6 million which reduced current period income by $0.11 per
share. The Company expects that it will continue to create higher yielding
securities from its originations using the CDO market, and that it will hold
these securities in substitution for lower yielding, primarily market-purchased
securities.

During the third quarter, loan production was $5.3 billion. Of the $5.3 billion,
64% of loans were to homebuyers while 36% were for refinancing. This compares
favorably to the second quarter of 2004 when 52% of production was for
refinancing, and very favorably to the third quarter of 2003 when 70% of
production was for refinancing. During the quarter, the Company estimates its
national market share reached 0.88% based on Fannie Mae's forecast of national
market size. This represents the Company's highest market share to date. During
the quarter, the Company experienced a material product shift toward ARM loans
as well as a shift toward Alternative A loans. During the quarter, 56% of
originations were ARMs and 16% of originations were Alternative A loans compared
to 49% ARMs and 10% Alternative A loans during this year's second quarter. The
Company favors originations of ARM loans, which are the loans it securitizes.
The Company sells virtually all of its fixed rate loan production, and
consequently typically does not securitize its fixed rate originations. During
the quarter, the Company sold $2.9 billion of non-securitized loans to third
parties for a gain of $28.4 million.

During the quarter, the Company's production franchise grew as a substantial
number of additional mortgage salespersons were hired and mortgage origination
offices were opened. Hiring and office openings resulted both from organic
growth initiatives and the Company's purchase of loan production offices from
Washington Mutual at the end of the second quarter of 2004. As of September 30,
the Company employed approximately 1,738 mortgage salespersons including call
center representatives, but excluding sales assistants, compared to
approximately 1,366 on June 30.

Loans serviced on September 30, 2004, including warehouse loans, reached 87,704
loans with a principal balance of $13.6 billion compared to 78,868 loans with a
principal balance of $11.6 billion on June 30. During the quarter, servicing
revenues were $9.8 million, direct servicing expenses were $2.5 million and
amortization and impairment was $12.6 million. During the quarter, servicing
experienced a loss of $2.9 million net of an associated tax benefit due to
impairment and amortization. The carrying value, net of impairment reserves, of
the servicing portfolio on September 30 was $160.4 million or 1.28% of the
unpaid principal balance or 3.6 times the weighted average servicing fee,
compared to $141.8 million or 1.39% of the unpaid principal balance or 3.9 times
the weighted average servicing fee at June 30. The market value of the servicing
portfolio was $163.0 million on September 30 and $145.1 million on June 30. On
September 30, the impairment reserve was $14.0 million, the weighted average
servicing fee was 0.354 percent, the weighted average life of the portfolio was
1.5 years, and the weighted average coupon was 5.41%.

The Company's total revenues for the quarter were $111.3 million. Of these
revenues, $32.9 million was from net interest income, $55.3 million was from
gains on sales to third parties of loans and securities backed by
self-originated loans, and from net mortgage origination fees. $28.9 million of
revenue was from unrealized gains on newly created mortgage securities that were
retained, $9.8 million was from mortgage servicing fees and ancillary revenues,
and $3.3 million was from other sources. Revenues were





reduced by the $4.6 million loss from sales of MBS portfolio securities and
discontinuation of hedges on the associated liabilities and by $12.6 million for
servicing amortization and impairment. During the quarter, the Company's
expenses were $78.3 million, and the Company's pre-tax profit was $32.9 million.
During the quarter the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary experienced a loss that
resulted in a tax benefit of $10.0 million. The loss was caused in part by
reduced fixed rate lending as compared to ARM lending. It was also caused by
servicing impairment and rapid amortization which together accounted for $3.8
million of the tax benefit. Tax benefits are not expected to continue in the
fourth quarter. Net income for the quarter was $42.9 million, preferred
dividends were $1.6 million and net income available to common stockholders was
$41.3 million, resulting in earnings per fully diluted common share of $1.02.
Book value attributable to common stockholders on September 30 was $740.1
million or $18.42 per common share.

During the quarter, the Company continued to build its leadership team.
Important additions to senior management included Kathleen Heck, David Friedman
and Tim Neer. Ms. Heck will become a member of the Eastern Division's executive
office, and will work with Eastern Division President John Manglardi and Eastern
Division Executive Vice President Tom Fiddler. Ms. Heck is a 15-year veteran of
the mortgage industry and has held senior positions at Washington Mutual, PNC
bank and Sears Mortgage Corporation. David Friedman will lead the Company's
servicing operations and will assume the role of Executive Vice President,
Mortgage Servicing. Mr. Friedman replaces Charlie Isenhour who recently retired.
He brings 25 years of industry experience, and most recently ran the servicing
operations of Provident Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Neer will fill a new role
as Director of Enterprise Risk Management and Policies and Procedures for the
Company. Mr. Neer was recently the Executive Director of Enterprise Program
Management at Homebanc and previously worked at Huntington Mortgage and Fleet
Mortgage.

Dividend Policy Increase and Dividend Tax Classification
- --------------------------------------------------------

The Company's Board of Directors sets dividend policy based on the Company's
projected GAAP earnings and cash-flow. Cash-flow is primarily generated from net
interest income, from the sale to third parties of loans and new,
self-originated securities, from applying leverage to retained self-originated
securities and to increases in the value of mortgage servicing assets, from loan
origination and loan servicing fees, and from other income. Cash-flow is used to
pay operating expenses, fund increases in working capital, make capital
expenditures, post securities and derivatives margins, and pay dividends.

The Company projects that its activities will generate sufficient cash-flow to
raise the dividend, while leaving intact additional cash-flow for expected and
contingent needs. Consequently, the Company's Board of Directors is changing the
Company's dividend policy to increase the quarterly dividend on common shares to
$0.66, or $2.64 annualized. It is expected that the first dividend of $0.66 per
common share will be payable in January, 2005. The Company's dividend policy
does not constitute an obligation to pay dividends, which only occurs when its
Board of Directors declares a dividend. The dividend policy is subject to
ongoing review by the Board of Directors based on the Company's business
prospects and financial condition, and the Board may, when it deems doing so is
advisable, lower or eliminate the dividend without prior notice.

The Company projects that a portion of the dividend it has paid out in 2004 will
be classified as a capital distribution as opposed to ordinary income for tax
purposes. This is a result of the Company's GAAP income and cash-flow exceeding
its taxable income. Taxable income is less than GAAP income and cash-flow
primarily because the sale of self-originated CDOs at prices above par, and the
retention and subsequent leveraging of self-originated CDOs and mortgage
servicing rights, create GAAP income and cash-flow, but do not create concurrent
tax income. Rather, these items create tax income over the life of the CDOs and
servicing assets. Based on results as of September 30, the Company estimates
that a portion of our dividends will be classified as capital distributions. For
many taxpayers, the portion of





dividend received as a capital distribution will reduce their basis in the stock
they hold in the Company as opposed to being ordinary, taxable income.
Stockholders should consult their tax advisors on how the portion of dividend
that will be classified as a capital distribution will affect them.

Earnings Outlook
- ----------------

The Company's earnings during the first nine months of 2004 were $2.58 per fully
diluted common share. In addition, the Company's net interest margins are
projected to reach or exceed third quarter levels, while loan production is
projected to exceed third quarter amounts and tax benefits are projected to
cease. Based on these factors, the Company is raising its full year 2004
earnings guidance to $3.55 per fully diluted common share.

The Company is also providing earnings guidance for the full year 2005 of $3.80
to $3.90 per fully diluted common share. The following projections are the
midpoint of the assumptions used in the EPS guidance:

The Company could fail to achieve its earnings guidance, and may experience
losses due to any of a broad range of reasons, including market forces reducing
net interest income or asset values or both, credit delinquencies reducing
income and / or net asset values, loan production or production margins being
less than anticipated, expenses being higher than expected and other factors.

Other Third Quarter Highlights
- ------------------------------

The Company completed its renaming initiative, and now operates all of its
retail offices under the American Home Mortgage brand.

The Company closed on a new warehouse and servicing credit facility of $600
million with a bank syndicate led by Bank of America. The warehouse facility
replaces a maturing facility that was more expensive, and provided less
favorable terms.

The Company has substantially completed its self-assessment and testing of
internal controls pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley. Its self-assessment and testing of
controls are now being reviewed by its external auditor.
