Exhibit 99.1

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. Reports 2nd Quarter 2006 Core EPS of $0.16; Successful Deployment of New Capital Aids Performance

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2006--Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE:NLY) today reported Core Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $31.3 million or $0.16 per average share available to common shareholders, as compared to Core Earnings of $47.0 million or $0.36 per average share available to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and Core Earnings of $23.9 million or $0.16 per average share available to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. "Core Earnings" is defined as net (loss) income excluding impairment losses and gains or losses on sales of securities. On a GAAP basis, the net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $8.6 million or $0.02 basic net income per average share available to common shareholders, as compared to net income of $47.0 million or $0.36 basic net income per average share available to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and a net loss of $10.9 million or $0.12 basic net loss per average share related to common shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
In a separate release issued today, the Board of Directors of Annaly announced that the Company's name has been changed to Annaly Capital Management, Inc.
During the second quarter $852 million face amount of securities were sold, resulting in a realized loss of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company had a loss on other-than-temporarily impaired securities as of June 30, 2006 of $20.1 million, or $0.13 per share. Of the $20.1 million, $15.7 million resulted from further declines in the value of securities classified as other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2006 and $4.4 million from losses on additional securities that the Company determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2006. The non-cash loss on the securities deemed other-than-temporarily impaired that remain in the Company's portfolio was reflected in the income statement based on the fair value of the securities on June 30, 2006, and recognition of such impairment charges will not reduce the taxable income of the Company.
Common dividends declared for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $0.13 per share, as compared to $0.36 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and $0.11 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The annualized dividend yield on common stock for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, based on the June 30, 2006 closing price of $12.81, was 4.06%. On a Core Earnings basis, the Company provided an annualized return on average equity of 7.63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 8.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 6.52% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. On a GAAP basis, the Company provided an annualized return on average equity of 2.09% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 11.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, and (2.98%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
During the second quarter, the Company completed public offerings of common stock and 6% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The net proceeds of the offerings, including the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, were approximately $549 million, before offering expenses.
Michael A.J. Farrell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Annaly, commented on the quarter's results. "The two additional 25 basis point increases to the Fed Funds rate during the second quarter brought the total to 425 basis points over the 17 meetings since June 30, 2004. Market conditions, therefore, continued to be a challenge for strategies such as ours as the protracted sell-off in the front end of the yield curve pressured the value of our assets and raised our cost of funds relative to the yield on our assets. Nevertheless, our management team has acted aggressively to manage through this period, and our returns improved over the first quarter. The key to raising our dividend this quarter while the Fed tightens has been our ability to take advantage of the relatively superior values that have become available in our asset class of short duration Agency mortgage-backed securities. Through reinvesting amortized principal, repositioning of portfolio securities and deploying the new capital raised in April, we have improved our return profile by raising our weighted average coupon, lowering our weighted average dollar cost and introducing more floating rate exposure. Our team remains focused on executing our barbell strategy, avoiding credit risk and providing transparency as we manage for long-term performance through challenging markets." For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 5.17% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance was 4.83%, which equates to an interest rate spread of 0.34%. This is a 26 basis point decrease over the 0.60% annualized interest rate spread for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and a 2 basis point increase over 0.32% annualized interest rate spread for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 3.63% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance was 3.03%. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the annualized yield on average earning assets was 4.70% and the annualized cost of funds on the average repurchase balance was 4.38%. At June 30, 2006, the weighted average yield on assets was 5.42% and the cost of funds was 5.01%, which equates to an interest rate spread of 41 basis points. Leverage at June 30, 2006 was 11.5:1, in comparison to 10.1:1 at June 30, 2005 and 10.2:1 at March 31, 2006.
Fixed rate securities comprised 67% of the Company's portfolio at June 30, 2006. The balance of the portfolio was comprised of 24% adjustable rate mortgages and 9% LIBOR floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations. The Company has continued to avoid the introduction of credit risk into its portfolio. As of June 30, 2006, substantially all of the assets in the Company's portfolio were FNMA, GNMA and FHLMC mortgage-backed securities, which carry an actual or implied "AAA" rating. During the second quarter 2006, the Company entered into additional swap transactions, pursuant to which, the Company agrees to pay a fixed interest rate and to receive a variable interest rate. The Company's swaps are designated as cash flow hedges against the benchmark interest rate risk associated with the Company's borrowings. The purpose of the swaps is to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates that affect our cost of funds. Since the Company will be receiving a floating rate on the notional amount of the swaps, the effect of the swaps will be to enhance the earnings potential of a portion of the fixed rate assets in the portfolio in a rising rate environment.
"Our capital-raising efforts and our portfolio decisions have helped improve our position," said Wellington Denahan-Norris, Annaly's Vice Chairman, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "While the Fed appears to be close to the end of its tightening cycle, uncertain and volatile market conditions are still with us. Thus our portfolio remains defensive in nature as we have emphasized building up the floating-rate portion. Giving effect to the swaps, at June 30, 2006 our portfolio was effectively comprised of 33% fixed-rate, 24% adjustable-rate and 43% floating-rate exposure. We continue to find attractive relative values for new capital, and we will continue to use all of the tools at our disposal to position the portfolio for long-term performance. Looking ahead, recently released economic data have contributed to an adjustment in market expectations for future rate increases. We believe our portfolio is positioned to perform in a wide range of potential outcomes, but clearly it would benefit should the Fed pause in its tightening."

The Constant Prepayment Rate was 19% during the second quarter of 2006, as compared to 27% during the second quarter of 2005, and 18% during the first quarter of 2006. The weighted average cost basis, after the Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Charge, was 100.6 at June 30, 2006. The net amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investment securities for the quarters ended June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2006 was $17.9 million, $42.7 million, and $15.8 million, respectively. The total net premium remaining unamortized at June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2006 was $161.7 million, $401.4 million, and $173.7 million, respectively.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of average assets were 0.18%, 0.14%, and 0.18% for the quarters ended June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005, and March 31, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2006, June 30, 2005, and March 31, 2006 the Company had a common stock book value per share of $9.48, $12.42 and $10.16, respectively.
At June 30, 2006, FIDAC, Annaly's wholly-owned registered investment advisor, had under management approximately $2.6 billion in net assets and $14.1 billion in gross assets, as compared to $3.1 billion in net assets and $27.8 billion in gross assets at June 30, 2005 and $2.0 billion in net assets and $16.9 billion in gross assets at March 31, 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, FIDAC earned investment advisory and service fees, net of fees paid to distributors, of $4.5 million, as compared to $7.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and $5.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. FIDAC, organized as a taxable REIT subsidiary of Annaly, generally receives net investment advisory fees of approximately 10 to 20 basis points of the gross assets it manages, assists in managing or supervises.
"Our name change, I believe, reflects our ambition as a company," said Mr. Farrell. "As I said when we acquired FIDAC, I have always considered Annaly to be an asset management company. Our expansion into new products and asset classes is another step towards fulfilling that vision, and we look forward to growing the revenue streams from our asset management business for the benefit of our shareholders." Annaly manages assets on behalf of institutional and individual investors worldwide through Annaly and through the funds managed by its wholly-owned registered investment advisor, FIDAC. The Company's principal business objective is to generate net income for distribution to investors from the spread between the interest income on its mortgage-backed securities and the cost of borrowing to finance their acquisition and from dividends Annaly receives from FIDAC, which earns investment advisory fee income. The Company, a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), currently has 164,015,156 shares of common stock outstanding.
