ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Friedman, Billings,
Ramsey Group, Inc. (FBR Group) (NYSE: FBR) today reported a net after-tax loss
of $169.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, or $1.12 per share
(diluted), compared to net after-tax loss of $210.6 million, or $1.25 per
share (diluted), for the third quarter of 2007. FBR Group's net after-tax loss
for the first nine months of 2008 was $149.0 million, or $0.99 per share
(diluted), compared to a net after-tax loss of $388.2 million, or $2.27 per
share (diluted) in the first nine months of 2007.
FBR Group also announced that it has retained financial advisors to
evaluate strategic alternatives for the purpose of maximizing the value of its
assets and liabilities including all of its trust preferred debt. Potential
strategic alternatives include the sale of the company or its assets or
distribution of its assets to shareholders.
Excluding its ownership interest in FBR Capital Markets, as of September
30, 2008, FBR Group had assets of $2.3 billion including MBS of $1.7 billion
and cash of $82 million, and repurchase agreements of $1.7 billion. Total
tangible capital was $349 million including trust preferred debt but excluding
its ownership interest in FBR Capital Markets. FBR Group's interest in FBR
Capital Markets' tangible capital was $223 million at September 30, 2008. FBR
Group's consolidated tangible capital on September 30, 2008 was $572 million
and consolidated shareholders' equity was $268 million.
Book value net of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) (1) as of
September 30, 2008 was $1.81 per share compared to book value net of AOCI of
$2.89 per share as of June 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, approximately $188 million of tangible capital,
or $1.24 per share, was invested in cash and readily marketable agency
securities. During the third quarter, $19 million of liquidations and pay-
downs of capital invested in non-agency MBS securities and other investments
was recovered. Remaining non-prime securities totaled $10 million at the end
of the third quarter.
During the quarter and subsequent to the quarter end, FBR Group
implemented a program to downsize its MBS portfolio in order to reduce
exposure to deteriorating market conditions while at the same time generating
additional cash to fund the extinguishment of its trust preferred debt at a
significant discount to face value.
In the third quarter, the Company extinguished $6.8 million of trust
preferred debt and realized a $4.1 million gain versus face value on the debt.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company extinguished an additional $38 million
of trust preferred debt for a gain of $23 million leaving $273 million of
trust preferred debt outstanding. Also subsequent to quarter end, the Company
further reduced its MBS portfolio by $1.1 billion resulting in a net loss of
$42 million after deducting the $23 million gain from the extinguishment of
trust preferred debt.
After giving effect to these post-third quarter transactions, FBR Group
has agency MBS of $503 million, super senior AAA MBS of $195 million, and
total repurchase agreements of $568 million.

(1) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) includes changes in the
value of available-for-sale securities and cash flow hedges. FBR believes that
such changes represent temporary market fluctuations, are not reflective of
our market strategy, and, therefore, the exclusion of AOCI provides a
reasonable basis for calculating returns.
Statements concerning future performance, developments, events, market
forecasts, revenues, expenses, earnings, run rates and any other guidance on
present or future periods, constitute forward-looking statements that are
subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties that might cause
actual results to differ materially from stated expectations or current
circumstances. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in
interest rates, increased costs of borrowing, decreased interest spreads,
changes in mortgage pre-payment speeds, risks associated with merchant banking
investments, the realization of gains and losses on principal investments,
available technologies, competition for business and personnel, and general
economic, political and market conditions. These and other risks are described
in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-

(1) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) includes changes in
value of available-for-sale securities and cash flow hedges. We
believe that such changes represent temporary market fluctuations, are
not reflective of our market strategy, and therefore, exclusion of
AOCI provides a reasonable basis for calculating returns.
(2) Effective January 1, 2008, the Company elected to change its method of
amortizing and accreting premiums, discounts and other deferred costs
on its mortgage-backed securities portfolio to the 'Contractual
Method', in accordance with SFAS 91. See the Company's quarterly
filing filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
period ending March 31, 2008 for further discussion.
