PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
ORGANIZATION
CMC Securities Corporation III (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on
May 6, 1992 as a special-purpose finance corporation and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("CMC"). The Company was acquired
from CMF Mortgage Funding Corporation ("CMF"), a former subsidiary of CMC, on
July 29, 1994 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (see below). CMC is a
publicly-owned real estate investment trust that, until late in 1995, operated
as a mortgage conduit, purchasing and securitizing single-family residential
mortgage loans. CMF originally acquired the Company from CMC on September 14,
1993 prior to commencement of operations. The Company is managed by CMC (the
"Manager").
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 29, 1994 (the
"Agreement") between the Company and CMC Securities Corporation III-A ("CMCSC
III-A"), a newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of CMC with a corporate
charter and organizational structure that is identical in almost all respects to
that of the Company, the Company was merged with and into CMCSC III-A, whereby
the existence of the Company ceased and CMCSC III-A acquired all of the assets
and assumed all of the liabilities of the Company as the surviving entity.
CMCSC III-A had been capitalized by CMC with $87,000, a portion of which was
used to pay $25,000 of merger consideration, as well as other amounts owed by
the Company to CMF. As a part of the merger, CMCSC III-A changed its name to
CMC Securities Corporation III, and from July 29, 1994 forward has been referred
to as the "Company."
The Company was formed solely for the purpose of issuing and selling
collateralized mortgage obligations ("Bonds" or "CMOs"), collateralized by
mortgage-backed, pass-through certificates ("Certificates") that evidence an
interest in a pool of mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. The
Certificates pledged as collateral for the Bonds will either be contributed by
an affiliate of CMC or purchased from third parties and will either be
Government National Mortgage Association certificates, Federal National Mortgage
Association certificates, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation certificates or
mortgage pass-through ("Non-Agency") certificates. The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation requires that any Bonds issued be rated in one of the two highest
rating categories established by one or more nationally recognized statistical
rating agencies.
On December 15, 1993 the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
an amended registration statement filed by the Company covering the offering of
a maximum of $4 billion aggregate principal amount of CMOs. The Company
commenced operations with the December 22, 1993 issuance of its first series of
CMOs. As of December 31, 1996 the Company had issued seven series of CMOs with
an aggregate original principal balance of $2,155,013,000.
SPECIAL-PURPOSE FINANCE CORPORATION
The Company has not and will not engage in any business or investment activities
other than (i) issuing and selling CMOs, and receiving, owning, holding and
pledging as collateral therefore the related Certificates, (ii) investing cash
balances on an interim basis in high quality, short-term securities, and (iii)
engaging in other activities which are necessary or convenient to accomplish the
foregoing and are incidental thereto. Article III of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation limits the Company's purposes to the above.
COMPETITION
The Company's business is highly competitive. The Company competes with other
issuers of similar obligations, both with respect to the acquisition of
-1-
<PAGE>
mortgage-related collateral securing the Bonds and placement of the CMOs. The
Company also competes with entities that issue and/or market numerous other
competitive financial products.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1996 the Company had no employees. The Manager provides all
executive and administrative personnel required by the Company.
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to a management agreement, the Manager advises the Company with respect
to its investments and administers the day-to-day operations of the Company.
The management agreement is nonassignable except by consent of the Company and
the Manager. The management agreement may be terminated without cause at any
time upon 90 days written notice. In addition, the Company has the right to
terminate the management agreement upon the happening of certain specified
events, including a breach by the Manager of any provision contained in the
management agreement which remains uncured for 30 days after notice of such
breach and the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Manager.
The Manager is at all times subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of
Directors and has only such functions and authority as the Company delegates to
it. The Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company and
performs such services and activities relating to the assets and operations of
the Company as may be appropriate. The Manager receives an annual basic
management fee of $10,000 per year for managing the assets pledged to secure
Bonds issued by the Company.
The Manager is required to pay employment expenses of its personnel (including
salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, fidelity bonds, temporary help and
cost of employee benefit plans), and other office expenses, travel and other
expenses of directors, officers and employees of the Manager, accounting fees
and expenses and expenses incurred in supervising and monitoring the Company's
investments or relating to performance by the Manager of its functions. The
Company is required to pay all other expenses of operations (as defined in the
Management Agreement).
SERVICING AND ADMINISTRATION
The originators of mortgage loans backing the Non-Agency Certificates may elect,
if they meet the Company's criteria for servicers, either to service the loans
they sell or to sell the loans with no agreement with respect to servicing, in
which event Capstead Inc., a subsidiary of CMC, may act as servicer. Capstead
Inc. services single-family mortgage loans and participates in other mortgage
banking activities. The Company enters into servicing agreements with each
servicer. The terms and conditions of servicing agreements with Capstead Inc.
are substantially the same as those contained in servicing agreements with
unrelated third parties.
As compensation for services rendered under the servicing agreements, the
servicers retain a servicing fee, payable monthly, generally 1/4 of 1% per
annum of the outstanding principal balance of each mortgage loan serviced as of
the last day of each month. At December 31, 1996 Capstead Inc. serviced
approximately 78% by principal balance of the Company's mortgage loans. In
addition, CMC is the administrator with respect to the Company's Non-Agency
Certificates. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, Capstead Inc. retained fees from
mortgage loan payments for servicing mortgage loans of $3,558,000, $3,977,000
and $3,416,000, respectively. Also during 1996, 1995 and 1994, CMC retained
fees for administering Non-Agency Certificates of $1,524,000, $1,531,000 and
$1,325,000, respectively.
-2-
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company's operations will be conducted primarily in Dallas, Texas on
properties leased by CMC.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
As of the date hereof, there are no material legal proceedings outside the
normal course of business to which the Company was a party or of which any of
its property was the subject.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS.
All of the Company's common stock is owned by CMC. Accordingly, there is no
public trading market for its common stock. To date, no dividends have been
paid on the Company's common stock.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
From December 22, 1993 to May 31, 1994, the Company issued seven series of CMOs
with an aggregate original principal balance of $2,155,013,000. No CMOs have
been issued since May 31, 1994. The Company elected Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduit ("REMIC") status for tax purposes on these transactions.
These issuances have been accounted for as financings because an affiliate of
the Company retained an investment in the CMOs. As financings, CMO collateral
and Bonds are reflected on the balance sheet.
Since the Company did not retain any investment in the CMOs issued, no economic
benefit was or will be received and thus no net income or loss was or will be
recognized related to these CMOs other than amortization of unreimbursed bond
issuance costs. The Company's net losses are due to this amortization and
operational costs incurred (interest payable to CMC, management fees and
professional fees).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
All ongoing cash CMO expenses are paid out of the excess cash flows on the CMOs
issued before the residual holders receive their residual interest. The Company
believes that the excess cash flows will be sufficient to pay ongoing cash CMO
expenses. Cash flow requirements due to ongoing operational costs are funded by
CMC.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1996 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). SFAS 125
provides accounting and reporting standards for all types of securitization
transactions involving the transfer of financial assets including collateralized
borrowing arrangements. Under SFAS 125 most securitizations of financial assets
would be recorded as sales. The Company will adopt this pronouncement on
January 1, 1997. Since the Company generally acquires mortgage assets from
affiliates at market prices as determined by securitization proceeds, this
adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations
or financial position of the Company.

standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CMC Securities Corporation III
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
CMC SECURITIES CORPORATION III
DECEMBER 31, 1996
NOTE A - BUSINESS
CMC Securities Corporation III (the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware on
May 6, 1992 as special-purpose finance corporation primarily to issue bonds
collateralized by whole loans or mortgage-backed securities. The Company is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("CMC"). CMC acquired
the Company from CMF Mortgage Funding Corporation ("CMF"), a former subsidiary
of CMC, on July 29, 1994 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (see Note
G). Certain amounts for 1995 have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
presentation.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
- ----------------
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY
- ---------------------------
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-
maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
MORTGAGE SECURITIES COLLATERAL
- ------------------------------
Mortgage securities collateral consists of debt securities classified as held-
to-maturity. Amortized cost is adjusted for amortization of premiums and
discounts over the estimated life of the security using the interest method.
Such amortization is included in related interest income.
Mortgage securities collateral is subject to changes in value because of changes
in interest rates and rates of prepayment, as well as failure of the mortgagor
to perform under the mortgage agreement. The Company has limited its exposure
to these risks by issuing collateralized mortgage securities using a
senior/subordinate structure (see Note F).
ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES
- -----------------------------
The Company provides for possible losses on its investments in amounts which it
believes are adequate relative to the risk inherent in such investments.
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE SECURITIES
- ----------------------------------
Collateralized mortgage securities are carried at their unpaid principal
balances, net of unamortized discount or premium. Any discount or premium is
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense by the interest method over the
life of the related securities.
-9-
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The Company was consolidated with CMF for income tax purposes through July 29,
1994 and had incurred losses through that date. Since July 29, 1994 the Company
has operated as a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiary of
CMC, which itself is a REIT, and is combined with CMC for federal income tax
purposes. REITs are not taxed at the corporate level provided that certain
requirements are met. Accordingly, no provision is required for federal income
taxes.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
- -------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investment with
original maturities of three months or less.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------
In June 1996 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). SFAS 125
provides accounting and reporting standards for all types of securitization
transactions involving the transfer of financial assets including collateralized
borrowing arrangements. Under SFAS 125 most securitizations of financial assets
would be recorded as sales. The Company will adopt this pronouncement on
January 1, 1997. Since the Company generally acquires mortgage assets from
affiliates at market prices as determined by securitization proceeds, this
adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations
or financial position of the Company.
NOTE C - MORTGAGE SECURITIES COLLATERAL
Mortgage securities collateral consists of conventional single-family mortgage
loans which are pledged to secure repayment of the collateralized mortgage
securities. All principal and interest payments on the collateral are remitted
directly to a collection account maintained by a trustee. The trustee is
responsible for reinvesting those funds in short-term investments. All
collections on the collateral and the reinvestment income earned thereon is
available for payment of principal and interest on the collateralized mortgage
securities. The components of mortgage securities collateral are summarized as
follows (in thousands):

========== ==========
</TABLE>
The weighted average effective interest rate for mortgage securities collateral
was 6.94% and 6.93% during 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE D - COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE SECURITIES
Each series of collateralized mortgage securities consists of various classes,
some of which may be deferred interest, interest-only and principal-only
-10-
<PAGE>
securities. Interest is payable monthly at specified rates for all classes
other than the deferred interest securities. Generally, principal payments on
each series are made to each class in the order of their stated maturities so
that no payment of principal will be made on any class until all classes having
an earlier stated maturity have been paid in full. Generally, payments of
principal and interest on deferred interest securities will commence only upon
payment in full of some or all other classes. Prior to that time, interest
accrues on the deferred interest securities and the amount accrued is added to
the unpaid principal balance. Interest payments on interest-only bonds are
based on a specified notional amount used only for the calculation of interest
and no payments of principal are made. Principal-only bonds remit principal
payments and no interest is paid.
The components of collateralized mortgage securities are summarized as follows
(dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>
The maturity of each series of securities is directly affected by the rate of
principal prepayments on the related mortgage securities collateral. Each
series of securities is also subject to redemption at the Company's option
provided that certain requirements specified in the related indenture have been
met (referred to as "clean-up calls"). As a result, the actual maturity of any
series of securities is likely to occur earlier than its stated maturity.
The weighted average effective interest rate for collateralized mortgage
securities was 6.94% and 6.93% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Interest
payments on collateralized mortgage securities of $124,714,000, $134,465,000 and
$103,738,000 were made during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
NOTE E - DISCLOSURES REGARDING FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of financial instruments have been determined by the
Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies; however, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market
data to develop these estimates. In addition, fair values fluctuate on a daily
basis. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market
exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, and the payable to Parent,
approximates fair value. The fair value of mortgage securities collateral was
estimated using either quoted market prices, when available, including quotes
made by CMC's lenders in connection with designating collateral for repurchase
arrangements. The fair value of collateralized mortgage securities is
-11-
<PAGE>
dependent upon the characteristics of the mortgage securities collateral pledged
to secure the issuance. Therefore, fair value was based on the same method used
for determining fair value for the underlying mortgage securities collateral,
adjusted for credit enhancements.
The following table summarizes the fair value of financial instruments (in
thousands):

The fair values of mortgage securities collateral and cash equivalents reflect
unrealized gains of $6.0 million and losses of $50.9 million at December 31,
1996, unrealized gains of $7.7 million and losses of $49.3 million at December
31, 1995.
NOTE F - ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES
The Company has limited exposure to losses on mortgage securities collateral
because the Company's collateralized mortgage securities are issued in a
senior/subordinate structure where the investor in the subordinate classes
assumes the risks of losses due to typical mortgagor default and special
hazards. Special hazards are typically catastrophic events that are unable to
be predicted (e.g., earthquakes). Because of its limited exposure to losses,
the Company has determined that an allowance for possible losses is not
warranted at December 31, 1996.
Since approximately 24% of mortgage securities collateral are secured by
properties located in California, the Company has a concentration of risk
related to the California market. However, the Company's exposure arising from
this concentration is reduced by the use of the senior/subordinate structure for
securitizations.
NOTE G - CHANGE IN CONTROL
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 29, 1994 (the
"Agreement") between the Company and CMC Securities Corporation III-A ("CMCSC
III-A"), a newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of CMC with a corporate
charter and organizational structure identical in almost all respects to that of
the Company, the Company was merged with and into CMCSC
-12-
<PAGE>
III-A, whereby the existence of the Company ceased and CMCSC III-A acquired all
of the assets and assummed all of the liabilities of the Company as the
surviving entity. CMCSC III-A was capitalized by CMC with $87,000, a portion of
which was used to pay $25,000 of merger consideration, as well as other amounts
owed by the Company to CMF. As a part of the merger, CMCSC-III-A changed its
name to CMC Securities Corporation III.
NOTE H - MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Company operates under a $10,000 per year management agreement with CMC (the
"Manager"). The agreement provides that the Manager will advise the Company
with respect to all facets of its business and administer the day-to-day
operations of the Company under the supervision of the Company's Board of
Directors. The Manager pays, among other things, salaries and benefits of its
personnel, accounting fees and expenses, and other office expenses incurred in
supervising and monitoring the Company's investments.
NOTE I - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Company has entered into servicing agreements with Capstead Inc., a
subsidiary of CMC, the provisions of which are typical of such agreements in the
mortgage servicing industry. Under the servicing agreements, Capstead Inc.
retains from interest collected a servicing fee generally 1/4 of 1% per annum
of the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans serviced. At December
31, 1996, Capstead Inc. serviced approximately 78% of the mortgage loans
securing collateralized mortgage securities. Servicing fees of $3,558,000,
$3,977,000 and $3,416,000 were retained by Capstead Inc. during 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
CMC acts as administrator ("Bond Administrator") in relation to the Company's
collateralized mortgage securities in which it performs certain administrative
functions. The Bond Administrator receives a fee of approximately 0.015% to
0.04% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the bonds, after
deducting trustee fees, for its services. Such fees totaled $1,524,000,
$1,531,000 and $1,325,000 during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company signed a $500,000 revolving subordinated promissory note with CMF
under which interest is accrued on amounts payable, based on the annual federal
short-term rate as published by the Internal Revenue Service. The note was
canceled August 1, 1994.
During 1994 the Company had a $20 million revolving subordinated promissory note
with CMC under which interest accrued on amounts payable based on the annual
federal short-term rate as published by the Internal Revenue Service. This note
matured January 1, 1996 and has been replaced with a $1 million note with
similar terms that expires January 1, 1998. Repayments may be made as funds are
available.
In connection with the 1994 issuance of collateralized mortgage securities, CMF
transferred conventional mortgage loans to collateralize the issuances. These
loans were transferred at an amount equal to the net proceeds on the
transactions. CMF absorbed issuance costs totaling $2,496,000. In connection
with these issuances, the Company sold $36,302,000 of interest-only, principal-
only and subordinate bonds to CMC or its affiliate.
