Explanatory Note
 
New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2006 (the “Initial 10-K Filing”). The Company is hereby amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K to correct the following:

 
1.
The number of shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock outstanding on March 1, 2006 on the cover page and on page 19 under Item 5;
 
2.
The weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights and the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans in the table on page 20 of the Initial 10-K Filing under the caption “Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans” at the end of Item 5;
 
3.
The inadvertent omission of part of Item 9A., Controls and Procedures, on page 60 of the Initial 10-K Filing, indicating that the Registrant made no changes in its internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005;
 
4.
The 2006 annual salary information for the executive officers of the Registrant to reflect the 3.4% increase over their 2005 annual salaries in Item 9B., Other Information, on page 60 of the Initial 10-K Filing;
 
5.
The inadvertent omission of listing certain exhibits under Item 15(b) of Part IV that were listed elsewhere in the Initial 10-K Filing under the caption “Exhibit Index”.

Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), provides that any amendment to a report required to be accompanied by the certifications specified in Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 of the Exchange Act must be accompanied by new certifications of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer. These certifications are therefore also included as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 31.3, 32.1 and 32.2.
 
Except for the corrections described above, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not modify any disclosures contained in the Initial 10-K Filing. Additionally, this does not attempt to update the disclosures in our Initial 10-K Filing or to discuss any developments subsequent to the date of the initial filing. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information contained in the Initial 10-K Filing and this amendment is subject to updated or supplemental information contained in reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing dates of the Initial 10-K Filing and this amendment.

The Company closed its IPO on June 29, 2004. As a result, no dividend for the two days of the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was declared or paid.

In order to qualify for the tax benefits accorded to a REIT under the Code, we intend to pay quarterly dividends such that all or substantially all of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) is distributed to our stockholders. All of the distributions that we make will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings and financial condition, maintenance of REIT status and any other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.

During 2005, taxable dividend distributions for the Company’s common stock were $0.95 per share.  The Company’s common stock is currently listed under the CUSIP #649604-10-5 and trades under the NYSE ticker symbol NTR.  For tax reporting purposes, the 2005 taxable dividend distributions will be classified as follows: $0.81532 as ordinary income and $0.13468 as a return of capital.  The following table contains this information on a quarterly basis.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management timely. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2005. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2005.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control -Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2005. Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein beginning on page F-2 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Pursuant to each of the executive officer’s employment agreements, 2006 base salaries reflect a 3.4% increase over base salary as established in 2005.

There was no change to the fees payable to our directors. Our Board of Directors approved the grant of 2,500 shares of stock on September 15, 2005 to each of our non-employee directors. These stock awards vest immediately upon issuance.

On December 13, 2005, NYMC Loan Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), and the Company entered into a $300 million master repurchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with DB Structured Products, Inc., Aspen Funding Corp. and Newport Funding Corp. (each a “Buyer” and collectively the “Buyers”) to finance, on a short-term basis, mortgage loans originated by The New York Mortgage Company, LLC (“assets”). The Company guaranteed the payment and performance of NYMC Loan Corporation, as Seller, under the Agreement. Under the Agreement, the Seller will sell assets to the Buyers and agrees to repurchase those assets on a date certain. The purchase price for assets will generally be an amount equal to the product of the market value of the assets to be sold multiplied by a percentage of the purchase price that generally ranges from 75% to 98% of the asset's market value, depending on the type of mortgage asset being financed and whether the asset is performing or non-performing. In general, the repurchase price will equal the original purchase price plus accrued but unpaid interest. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Seller will pay interest to the Buyers at a fixed percentage over LIBOR depending on collateral type. All of the Seller's interest in the transferred assets pass to the Buyers on the purchase date. Upon receipt of the purchase price, the Buyers shall transfer their ownership interests in the asset back to the Seller. The Agreement is a $300 million uncommitted lending facility, meaning the Buyers must agree to each asset financed under the Agreement. The facility established by the Agreement is set to expire on December 12, 2006. If the market value of an asset financed under the facility declines to less than the related Buyer's purchase price (the “margin deficit”), then the Buyers may require that the Seller transfer cash in an amount equal to such margin deficit or additional loans or may retain any funds received by it to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled.

The Company and the Seller are required to maintain certain routine covenants during the term of the Agreement, including without limitation, maintaining a certain level of net worth, not exceeding a certain indebtedness ratio, providing financial reports, not undertaking a merger or other fundamental transaction, and maintaining a certain level of profitability. The Agreement requires that all assets subject to the facility have the related loan documents delivered to LaSalle Bank, National Association, who holds them as a custodian so long as they are subject to the facility.

In addition to being an uncommitted facility, if an event of default (as defined in the Agreement) occurs, the Seller will be unable to finance assets under the facility and its obligation to repurchase assets financed under the facility may, at the option of the Buyers, be accelerated. The definition of an event of default includes, among others, the following events: (i) failure to pay sums due under the Agreement, (ii) failure to repurchase an asset as required, (iii) a default on other obligations of the Company or Seller that involves the failure to pay a matured obligation or permits the acceleration of the maturity of the obligation, (iv) a material adverse change in the Company's or Seller's property, business, or financial condition, and (v) undergoing a change in control of the Company.

If the Seller defaults under the Agreement, then the Buyers have most standard remedies, including, demanding all assets be repurchased and selling the assets subject to the facility. Pursuant to an amended and restated guaranty of the Company, the Company fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of the Sellers under the terms of this Agreement.

On January 5, 2006, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The New York Mortgage Company, LLC (“NYMC”) and New York Mortgage Funding, LLC (“NYMF”) (the Company, NYMC and NYMF, each a Seller and together, the “Sellers”), entered into a $250 million master repurchase agreement with Greenwich Capital Products, Inc. (“GCM”). The terms of the agreement between the Sellers and GCM are substantially similar to the Agreement described above. The agreement between the Sellers and GCM is a full-recourse facility against the Sellers and all obligations of the Sellers are joint and several. This agreement with GCM is set to expire on December 4, 2006.
