Common Stock Offerings
On March 27, 2013, we successfully completed (i) our initial public offering, or IPO, pursuant to which we sold 4,033,333 shares of our common stock to the public; and (ii) a concurrent private placement of 1,666,667 shares of our common stock to XL Investments Ltd, an indirect and wholly owned subsidiary of XL Group plc (NYSE: XL). All of our shares of common stock in the IPO and in the concurrent private placement were sold at a price of $15.00 per share. Collectively, we received net proceeds from our IPO and the concurrent private placement of $84.0 million after subtracting offering expenses payable by us of $1.5 million. When combined with last year's private placement, our stockholders' equity reached $116.6 million.
First Quarter 2013 Operating Results
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company earned net income of $0.67 per basic and diluted share, based on weighted average shares outstanding for the period, or $1.5 million. As a consequence of completing our common stock offerings shortly before the end of the quarter, our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013, do not fully reflect the impact of our capital deployment.
Investment Portfolio
We began investing the net proceeds of our IPO and our concurrent private placement immediately following the closing of these offerings on March 27, 2013, with a concentration in Agency RMBS. As of March 31, 2013, on a GAAP basis we had increased our investments in RMBS to $969.0 million, from $81.0 million as of December 31, 2012. On a non-GAAP basis (including Non-Agency RMBS underlying Linked Transactions), we owned $992.3 million of RMBS as of March 31, 2013. The following table summarizes certain characteristics of our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2013: (1) as reported in accordance with GAAP, which excludes the Non-Agency RMBS underlying our Linked Transactions; (2) to show separately the Non-Agency RMBS underlying our Linked Transactions; and (3) on a non-GAAP combined basis (which reflects the inclusion of the Non-Agency RMBS underlying our Linked Transactions combined with our GAAP-reported RMBS):

"Prior to going public, we spent a lot of time ensuring that our investment, financing and hedging infrastructure was well tested and ready to sustain our expected growth," said Paul Chong, Chief Investment Officer of Five Oaks Investment Corp. "We are pleased this helped us to deploy our new capital proceeds in Agency RMBS within a short window at quarter end, at net spreads we consider to be attractive, while we continue to examine opportunities in the Non-Agency space."
Dividends
The Company declared a dividend of $0.13 per share of common stock for the month of April 2013, and $0.16 per share of common stock for the months of May and June 2013. Based on the closing price of $14.63 as at March 28, 2013, the monthly dividend for April, and May and June, equates to an annualized dividend yield of 10.7% and 13.1% respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. You can identify forward-looking statements by use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "continue," "intend," "should," "may" or similar expressions or other comparable terms, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking: the return on equity; the yield on investments; the ability to borrow to finance assets; and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the general economy. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company's beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future performance, taking into account all information currently available to the Company. Actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the Company's control. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors are contained in the Company's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements that the Company makes, or that are attributable to the Company, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the Company is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
For financial statement reporting purposes, GAAP requires us to account for certain of our Non-Agency RMBS and the associated repurchase agreement financing as Linked Transactions. However, in managing and evaluating the composition and performance of our RMBS portfolio, we do not view the purchase of our Non-Agency RMBS and the associated repurchase agreement financing as transactions that are linked. We therefore have also presented certain information that includes the Non-Agency RMBS underlying our Linked Transactions. This information constitutes non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G, as promulgated by the SEC. We believe that this non-GAAP information enhances the ability of investors to analyze our RMBS portfolio and the performance of our Non-Agency RMBS in the same way that we assess our RMBS portfolio and such assets. While we believe the non-GAAP information included in this press release provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing that portion of our portfolio composed of Non-Agency RMBS, these measures are not in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
