I would now like to turn this call over to Stewart Zimmerman, MFA’s Chief Executive Officer and President.

Good morning and I welcome you to the MFA Investor call announcing MFA’s first quarter 2008 financial results. Joining me this morning our Bill Gorin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Ron Freydberg, Executive Vice President and Chief Portfolio Officer; Teresa Covello, Chief Accounting Officer; Tim Korth, General Counsel; Craig Knutson, Vice President and Deborah Yang, Vice President. MFA Mortgage Investments today reported a net loss of $88 million or a loss of $0.61 per share of common stock for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. For the first quarter, net income excluding items not impacting distributable income was $28.9 million or $0.20 per share of common stock. On April 1st, 2008 we announced our first quarter dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend is being paid today, April 30th, 2008, to stockholders of record as of April 14th, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, our book value per share was $6.30. During the quarter in light of the significant disruptions in the credit markets, we took proactive and definitive steps to adjust our leverage strategy and reduce liquidity risk by decreasing our target debt-to-equity multiple to seven to nine times from an historical norm of eight to nine times. We sold approximately $1.85 billion in mortgage-backed securities in March, 2008, consisting of $1.8 billion of agency and $50 million of AAA rated mortgage-backed securities, at an average realized loss of $25 million. Related to these asset sales, we repaid associated repurchase agreements and terminated $1.6 billion of associated interest rate swap agreements realizing a loss of $91 million. As a result as of March 31, 2008, our debt-to-equity multiple was reduced to approximately seven times. As an update, leverage currently is approximately 7.5 times. We remain focused on high quality agency assets and our portfolio spread has…

(Operator Instructions) Our first question is from Steve DeLaney, with JMP Securities. Please go ahead.

Stewart, I was wondering if maybe you could start-off with just sharing sort off your general comments and view on how conditions in the Agency repo and MBS markets have changed since March 31. I think we have a sense that things are a little more stable now, but I like to hear that in your words and also, if you could add where - bring us up to where we are today and where you think those financing trends may go over the next couple of months.

You are in a market Steve, that really has not existed before and to look back historically and say that, you can look back to 78 or 87 or some of the other times of prices within the fixed income and capital markets, and use that kind of looking forward, is kind of difficult today. Again we have not had a situation in fixed income, certainly in the capital markets that even comes close to what we’ve experienced over the last 30 to 60 days. Having said that you used the word stable, and it’s probably a good adjective, but the capital markets are little more stable today, than they certainly where going back to the middle of March and for that we feel quiet good about that. Having said that it’s also a time to continue to be cautious, it's a time to continue to run a company such as MFA with the little bit lower leverage ratio than we’ve have been using in the past which is, will be basically what we have said on our press release of March 10 and we are going to continue in that way. Having said that, are their opportunities for us to - the answer is yes. There are, and as we get into the call and I assume by the questions, and some of the other folks here can give you some detail. There are very, very positive opportunities for us. In terms of, is the financing stable? The answer yes it has been, we’ve actually picked up an additional counterparty that has been very significant to us. We feel very good about that for that, for that credit I would certainly give Ron and Ron and his crew and thanking them for that. So, we continue to have the ability to finance ourselves, we have the ability to pick up additional counterparties and again I am looking very positively at the balance of this quarter and certainly the balance of 2008. I think the opportunities for us are right in front of us and those are opportunities you want to take advantage of having said that, what I have said in my prepared remarks is that our leverage at the end of the quarter was about seven times and right now we are about 7.5 times and we continue to see a very, very positive opportunities.

That’s very helpful Stewart. Is there anything that we could watch for in the market, whether its haircuts, maybe coming in a touch on pass through or anything that would specific, that would give you the comfort to say, take that leverage figure from, you obviously have a little more comfort today because you’ve gone up by a half of multiple on your leverage since March 31, but

Steve. Hello, operator we seem to have lost of question.

Our next question is from Jason Arnold with RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Hi, good morning guys. Maybe I guess a follow-up with what Steve was getting on there, on the leverage side. Where would you guys really feel comfortable at this point of time kind of taking leverage for this quarter, I know its kind of a changing circumstances….

Jason, it is a – it’s the changing environment sometimes by the moment, but again as I said and I guess Steve got cut off and hopefully Steve can circle back and we can further answer his question, but we gone up about a half a multiple and as we continue to see these types of opportunities that we can discuss with you. I don’t mine going up another half a multiple and so, that would be fine, but again its not a situation where you, can say that we are going back to where we were, to where the market was, the capital market. Not just MFA before August of ’07. I that was a seminal event and I think that the whole nature of things is such that companies such as us will run at lower leverage than they had run at previously, but having said that, that’s one side of the point. The other side of the equation is that the opportunities are better, the spreads are greater. So again as I said in answering Steve and I can answer yours is that we are very, very optimistic about the balance of this quarter, meaning the second quarter and certainly 2008.

Okay. Great very helpful and then I guess on the non-agency side of your portfolio is that prepays overtime, would you consider replacing those assets with more non-agency or would you guys tend to try the stick with more agency side going forward.

Again, the portfolio is plus or minus about $8 billion for a round number and the queue will come out later today I believe, and when you look at MFA and you can really assume that the A, stands for the Agency and we made the announcement, we filed with the Securities Exchange Commission the idea of creating a sister company called the MF Residential and that would be involved in the non-agency product, but MFA is going to remaining and stay with agency paper.

Perfect. Okay and then just one final one, do you have the notional value on the remaining swaps available at hand and maybe the average pay fixed rate?

As of quarter end

This is Ron.

Little over 4.2 billion and the weighted average pay rate is 4.175.

:

Yes, it’s been answered.

Our next question is from Mike Widner with Stifel Nicolaus. Please go ahead. Mike Widner - Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc: Hi, thanks good morning guys. You hit on the major questions that I has as well, let me just ask for one point of clarity if I will. You mentioned, the leverage going up by about a half a multiple since the quarter, are you including in there, sort of the effect of the dividend which by my math takes, you up about two tenths in its sales, and then the second question is if you could maybe just comment on sort of what your expectations are for the degree of hedging, interest rate hedging you might have from here out. You just mentioned the amount of swaps left on the books, but you guys are pretty heavily hedged going into the quarter, clearly dumped a lot of swaps in the quarterly. We got a lot of cuts from the Fed and now we are getting it, sort of a point where the market is expecting that the Fed is pretty close to done and getting out toward the end of the year and might look at the Feds raising rates again so, I was just wondering if you could provide any color on sort of the your thoughts with regard to hedging front here. Do you have a preference were sort of more sensitivity to kind of floating rates or are you looking to get back to where you were in Q4 in terms of very heavily hedged portfolio.

I guess two parts of that question, the point that Stewart is making that April we are acquiring more assets that are running off. So, yes, the equity number changes but that’s not what drove that the increase since we are acquiring assets at higher spreads. Does that answer the first part of your question? Michael Widner - Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc: Yes, I mean I think so.

Yes, you could have your dividend, but yes you also earned money in April that you haven’t paid out to dividend, so… Michael Widner - Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc: I guess at the end of the day, your numbers at the end of the quarter as published are about 6.95 leverage, if you add the dividend back in, it takes you to about 714 and I mean it’s a little bit of nit-picking, but when you say you’re up half a point, or a half a multiple from there, that could either point you at 76 or 74 depending on what your starting point is, I mean its kind of picking-nits, but just wondering if…

I guess the large point is whether its 74 or 76 the larger point is that we continue to see very, very positive opportunities in hybrid agencies at spreads that are very attractive. So, whether the absolute number is 74, or 75, or 76, what I am also saying is that as we continue to see this opportunities and we continue to have adequate funding, which we do have, I will make that as a declarative statements. We will continue to put on additional assets.

In terms of hedging our strategy is fairly consistent that we want to be about 50% hedged.

And which is about where we are now Ron, had mentioned we had about 4.2 billion of swaps versus 8.1 billion of mortgage-backed securities. Swaps work less well when interest rates declined and spreads widen, as they did in March. They work a lot better when interest rates go up and spreads tighten as they are in April. So, approximately in the 50% level, we are comfortable and some months, it works better than others and April is month where its going to work well. Michael Widner - Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc: Okay, well, thank you for that clarity, and than just let me ask you one follow-up on that. I mean swaps are one way that you can sort of effectively extend the duration of your funding and as you mentioned you are about 50% swap. The other way is obviously entering into sort of long-dated repo. Do you guys have any sort of multi-year repo at this point?

This is Ron, we do have some, but this is no surprise to us with what’s going on in liquidity market since August. A lot of people have sort of backed away from doing a longer-dated repo at least for the time being. Michael Widner - Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc: Okay.

It is much more difficult today to get longer-dated repo then it was. Again I’ll give you an example, if you go back just a couple of years ago, if you go back 12 months ago. If you bought a 51 you might do a three-year repo, get a three-year repo against and then you had a pretty nice piece of paper sitting there. Today that is much more difficult to do and so we are utilizing as of other companies in our space, you utilize interest rate swaps. Michael Widner - Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc: Yes, well thanks guys. I diffidently appreciate the clarity and, I didn’t mean to nit-pick you there on the leverage point, but I agree with everything you said. I mean this look like a fantastic opportunity to put money to work and I ask just from the standpoint, I think a lot of us would like to see comfortable but, higher leverage rather than lower, but thanks for the clarity.

Our next question is from Stephen Laws with Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead. Stephen Laws – Deutsche Bank Securities: Good morning. Could you guys maybe quantify where the repo that is resetting -- to, we see LIBOR up here at 280 and it’s historically been a pretty good indicator, where funding costs are going. Although, I think at this point maybe it’s resetting the lower than LIBOR. So, can you quantify kind of where you seeing this new levels?

Steve, this is Ron. We are seeing, for the last couple of weeks, we have seen the repo at LIBOR minus and LIBOR minus to fairly significant amount, but history will tell us that using LIBOR plus or minus five is probably the way to go for the long-term, but for the month of April it’s been significantly below LIBOR. Stephen Laws – Deutsche Bank Securities: And then with that said maybe quantify spreads on new capital as you’re reinvesting, say prepayment proceeds as you are, growing the portfolio from a leverage standpoint. What is the new spreads coming on?

The asset that that we have been buying, which Stewart talked bout to bring the leverage up, we are seeing in the neighborhood of 200 basis points of spreads, and use the 51 - 71 as your average type of security. Stephen Laws – Deutsche Bank Securities: And then with that said, given that, clearly significant accretive to the current spreads, is there anything with MFR being of focus for 2008? Is there anything with that on filed that would prevent MFA from raising additional capital?

No, one really, it will not affect the other.

Our next question is from Bose George with KBW. Please go ahead.

Hey, good morning. Just as follow-up on the last question on spread. The 200 basis points, is that a spread on a, like is that a fully hedged like as theses spread or is that a spread for the stuff you are funding with swaps, or is that I mean with repo or is that sort of the blend of the two. How does that number work?

Very good question, it’s a blend. It’s between 25% and 30% swaps.

Our next question is from David Hochstim with Bear Stearns. Please go ahead. David Hochstim – Bear Stearns: Hi, just another variant to that. So if you were, sort of roughly 50% swapped and financing where you would on the overall portfolio. What would the marginal spread be?

We are looking at a 480 coupon. If you take a look, we are in a conference room so I don’t have the Bloomberg in front of me, but we are looking at 4.80% to 5% as our yield and when we’ve been funding, we have been using 24 -- 235 or 240, to close to 240 as our funding number. Right now, five year swap would be a little bit less than 4%. So, it blended the two and I guess you probably lose; I have got to do it in my head, 20 to 30 basis points.

It would be about 175 basis points.

Yes. David Hochstim – Bear Stearns: And then just how much, could we think leverage would increase, I mean over the next, besides to half turn. I mean, what point would you feel comfortable that the market is stable enough that you could deliver further? What can we watch that...

I think the best answer I can give you there without me sounding glib. It’s simply that when we pick up the Wall Street Journal and pick up the New York Times, not reading about write-downs in the billions-and-billion of dollar. I think it’s very, very important for us to be the custodians or the equity of this company and you have to do that on a real time basis. So, my best answer to you would be, when we pick up the paper and there is a much more positive tome and we can consider in terms of leverage. We can consider going back or potentially going back to approaching levels that we maybe we are at before. That’s not the case today, the fact is we’ve seen opportunities and we feel comfortable with our funding ability and we’ve gone up a half a turn, so we go up another half a turn or whatever the absolute number might be, the answer is yes. We want to continue to see certain stability, that’s the first question that was answered, that was asked today. We want to continue to see stability in the marketplace, where we continue to have this in this level of comfort and not just for an hour, or for a day or for a week. David Hochstim – Bear Stearns: And in terms of the new repo relationship you added, where the terms on that or the size very different that what you have on the other 14 or 15? I guess may have replaced one this month?

The terms were very liberal, they were fair. Haircuts were right inline and the size was relevant to the counterparty and relevant to us. It was the win-win situation. The only people that we have seen since the beginning of going back to last August, who we don’t have the ability to do repo with anymore, didn’t exit MFA, they basically exited the business. So, we have not had a counterparty that was limited to MFA and say, we don’t want to do business with MFA on agency paper. David Hochstim – Bear Stearns: Right and have there been any adjustments in the amount of repo available by individual people, you are still able to borrow from?

Nobody had come to us and said that our credit line has changed. Nobody has come to us and said that we can’t roll us because we’ve reached any credit line and credit limit.

Dave, don’t take it in the wrong way, but one place we’ve cut is there. David Hochstim – Bear Stearns: I would assume that would be.

That was our decision, but again we have tried to run the shop as prudently as we know how, I know I have taken some heat on some earnings calls in the past, maybe we are little to conservative, a little to this, a little to that. I haven’t gotten any of those calls in the last 45 days. So we are going to continue to be, I’ll call it prudent and again, will we take advantage of the situation, the answer is yes. We diffidently, absolutely will, but we are going to continue to do that in the manner that we done things before and I think that’s the way that our shareholders would want us to run the company. David Hochstim – Bear Stearns: I think you absolutely right, and finally, what -- with the non-agency securities just don’t have. Would there be any opportunity to sell those to MFR or to do something?

Let me just answer that, the answer is no. MFA is a separate company, a separate vehicle. MF Residential will be its own vehicle with its own operating policies. So, the answer is no.

Our next question is from Tayo Okusanya with UBS. Please go ahead.

Hi, good morning everyone. Just couple of quick questions what was the spread at the end of the quarter?

: Give us a second.

They were slightly higher than the 90, but we need to take into account typically February is a very high spread month. We have less prepaid in February and you have less days.

In liabilities

Okay.

But, yes March was higher than the May.

Could you give an indication of how much higher?

Sure, it was 95.

Second question, average cost of funds 4.64 in first quarter versus 5.05 in fourth quarter; I mean kind of given how much LIBOR came down during the -- well, not necessarily though, but I guess just give the how much Fed funds came down and how much LIBOR came down, I would have thought that funding costs would have come down much more than the 41 basis points even though you were 50% hedged?

Yes, we also have. Some of the hedges are against three month repos, so you don’t see the them right way.

Okay.

What we have for example in the next thirty days going to back to March 30, the month of April we have about 3.4 billion of repos rolling, which had a average costs of 305. So, again you see but with the quarter lag.

So, so this is typical quarter lag that you have because of the hedges that are against three month repo?

That’s right. Our repo aren't overnight.

That’s helpful. And then Steward, kind of back to this issue of when you could potentially take leverage up and what your current concerns are about, taking leverage up slightly higher. I mean could you create a scenario in your mind where you think we may go back to a lot of the chaos that we saw in March? Do you kind of see anything on a horizon that you think could create that kind of anxiety again?

Look it is always that are known, if one of the foreign banks or of a sudden wakes up and say gee we have a $100 billion of mortgage paper, we didn’t even understand that we had. I don’t think that’s going to happen, I don’t think we go back to where we were with the market being as unstable as it was again. I’ve done this for a long time I have never seen a market like that. I’ve never saw a lock-up in liquidity in the 40 years that I have involved in mortgages and capital markets. So, I don’t see that occurring having said that, I think it’s very, very important with market being more stable than it was to continue to be cautious.

What’s important is, in October you could have asked us, if we’d ever see August again and yes, we will see August against, see it every eight month of every year, but it’s a difficult question to answer and what we can tell you is we can’t rollout the probability of zero that you don’t see March again. We need to keep in mind that a possibility exists.

Our next question is from Jim Delisle with Cambridge Place. Please go ahead. James Delisle – Cambridge Place: Congratulation on a good quarter from a different angle, catching and getting a new repo counterparty when obviously you lost another one. If I were to divide repo counterparties into kind of like one of four categories like you have broker dealers, you have domestic depositories that are non-broker dealers, foreign depository is the same and fund companies, mutual funds and like. Are you seeing any change in the competition or the distribution amongst those categories in terms of your repo funding?

No, really it’s been very consistent. I haven’t seen where one group has kind of come forward and another one has kind of backed off. It’s really been -- I’ve found it to be very consistent. James Delisle – Cambridge Place: And I mean are you seeing or hearing of entrances of say fund companies and the like that would direct repo, kind of a disintermediation if you will the broker dealers, is that a trend we can look for?

We haven’t seen it.

Our next question is from Barry Cohen with Knott Partners. Please go ahead. Barry Cohen – Knott Partners: Yes, Hi. Could you just give us a sense of what do you maybe thinking about the spread margins is going to be in the second quarter, just because you have a lot of moving parts? Thank you.

Yes the best I can tell you is, really what it’s says in the press release, which was a -- it should continue to be very positive and continue to increase. I really can’t give you any kind of color on what those absolute numbers are. We are continuing to see opportunities and with the opportunities that we are seeing in the market is what we have been able to put on which I kind of just mentioned to you. They should continue to be in a very positive mode.

Our next question is from Hemanth Hirani with Litchfield Capital. Please go ahead.

Hi, I just like to seek clarification. You said the coupon or the yield on the new investments is 485 range

I said the yield was…

You said coupon and then you said yield.

Why don’t we clarify it then?

The coupon is between 4 -- I’m sorry the yield is between 480 and 5%.

And the yield for the average for the quarter was 550 or something average roughly. So, given that we would assume that the value of the MBS is relatively up versus March. Is my thinking right?

It’s not from what he said, because he telling you the yield, he’s not telling you the purchase price.

What would you think your book value is right now around 30, April?

That the book value that was in the press release..

Your question is what happed since March 3rd.

Yeah.

I would say generally the swaps have gained substantial value and mortgage backed securities, because of the change in the two year and because of the fact that hybrids have probably decline somewhat in value. So, not a large change either ways.

(Operator Instructions). Our next question is from Matthew Howlett with Fox-Pitt. Please go ahead. Matthew Howlett – Fox-Pitt Kelton: Hi, guys thanks for taking my question. Just on a broader outlook -- hybrid agencies I mean clearly they are cheap now there is a lot of spreads in the market. What is your outlook 2, 3, 4 quarters down the road? My sense is hybrid ARMs supply has just come down. There is talk of the GSE’s going in and buying those types of assets, that’s the first one they will go after, is there a sense of urgency in your part to maybe acquire as much as you can in the next few quarters. Would you think sort of with 5% haircuts across the board spreads aren’t really going to go anywhere for sometime?

I think that spreads will continue to be very attractive whether they are absolutely at this level or they are a couple of basis points higher or lower. I don’t think it terribly significant, but we do not have a gun to our head, where we feel, my God if we don’t invest now, we are never going to have the opportunity that is not the feeling that we have. The feeling that we have is that we -- we always do things on a considered basis that we are going to continue to do that, but we are seeing opportunities we did go up a half a turn and if we continue to see those opportunities, we’ll continue to buy assets. Matthew Howlett – Fox-Pitt Kelton: And in terms of just maybe keeping the leverage where it is and raising additional capital, clearly it’s not as accretive to book as your last yield, but fully would be to earnings. Is there any sort of guidance, you can give us on that?

I mean right now, with leverage the way it is basically we can buy. We don’t have to raise capital. So, we have dry powder, but having said that, we love to see to stock price a little more robust and if the opportunity, continue there we’ve got something that we would certainly consider.

Our next question is from Richard Sloan with H&R Realty. Please go ahead. Richard Sloan – H&R Realty: Could you tell me whether the, you know repo costs are more sensitive to Fed Fund rate or to LIBOR?

When LIBOR spikes relative to Fed funds as they have now, because we’re borrowing using collateral in some ways we become a better credit than other banks. So, usually our repo rates are highly correlated with the LIBOR but right now they have separated as Ron mentioned we are borrowing below LIBOR, because we are not just the bank we are providing collateral.

:

I just had a couple of questions about MF Residential I know it’s a little bit early, but I was wondering what kind of leverage do you think about running for that strategy and what’s your sense of the financing markets for that kind of assets?

We were currently in registration with the SEC, but if you did pull up that draft and my general counsel wants to make sure I don’t advertising deal, but if you did pull up the draft you would see that we are looking at three times leverage on AAA’s, up to three times leverage on AAA's, which we believe it’s available based on the fact that we’re able to borrow as a higher percentage for the AAA's that we own in MFA.

I am showing that we have no further questions, do you have any closing comments.

I just wanted to thank everybody for taking the time and positing some very, very good questions this morning and we look forward to speaking with you again next quarter and thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen that does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for your participation and for using AT&T executive teleconference. You may now disconnect.
