I. THIRD QUARTER UPDATE
- Liquidity and leverage update: Crystal River continued its
focus on reducing leverage by paying down its repurchase agreement
debt to $8.3 million at September 30, 2008 from $22.1 million at
June 30, 2008. The amount drawn under the Company's revolving
credit facility was $41.4 million at September 30, 2008.
- Operating results: The net loss for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 totaled $56.7 million, or $2.28 per share.
Operating Earnings (defined below) for the quarter ended September
30, 2008 totaled $13.9 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to
$20.9 million, or $0.83 per share, for the third quarter of 2007
and $16.6 million, or $0.67 per share, for the second quarter of
2008. The decrease over the second quarter of 2008 was primarily
attributable to lower interest income resulting from the sale of
Crystal River's Agency MBS portfolio and the sale and repayment of
a portion of the Company's real estate loan portfolio, partially
offset by lower interest expense.
- Dividend: Cash flow from operations for the third quarter
represented approximately three times coverage of the quarterly
dividend of approximately $2.5 million, with the remainder being
used to pay down liabilities.
- Book value: Crystal River's GAAP book value per share
decreased to $0.07 at September 30, 2008 from $2.46 at June 30,
2008.
- Portfolio activity and subsequent events: As previously
announced, Crystal River sold $27.1 million of whole loans that the
Company had previously designated for sale. Furthermore, Crystal
River's $9.6 million investment in a construction loan matured
during the third quarter of 2008. The investment, which paid off at
par, had a floating-rate coupon of LIBOR plus 3.1%. The proceeds
from the sales and the loan repayment were used to repay debt.
Discussion of Results
Net Investment Income (defined below) for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 totaled $18.3 million, or $0.73 per share,
compared to Net Investment Income of $23.5 million, or $0.94 per
share, for the third quarter of 2007 and Net Investment Income of
$21.6 million, or $0.87 per share, for the second quarter of 2008.
The decrease over the second quarter of 2008 was primarily
attributable to lower interest income resulting from the sale of
Crystal River's Agency MBS portfolio and the sale and repayment of
a portion of the Company's real estate loan portfolio, partially
offset by lower interest expense.
The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled
$56.7 million, or $2.28 per share, compared to a net loss of $93.9
million, or $3.76 per share, for the third quarter of 2007 and a
net loss of $75.5 million, or $3.04 per share, for the second
quarter of 2008. The primary contributors to the third quarter 2008
net loss were impairment charges and mark-to-market adjustments
totaling $59.2 million. Finally, the Company also recorded a $4.4
million loan loss allowance on its real estate loan holdings during
the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
The following table details the Company's impairment charges and
mark-to-market adjustments on its available for sale securities by
type and by sector and its CDO liabilities for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008:

GAAP Book Value
GAAP common equity book value per share was $0.07 at September
30, 2008. Following Crystal River's adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 159 on January 1, 2008,
the Company carries both the assets and liabilities of its two
securitized CDO entities at their fair values. As a result,
unrealized gains and losses on the available for sale securities
held within the Company's CDOs, the corresponding CDO liabilities,
and swaps previously designated as a hedge are recorded directly
into earnings in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations.
Dividend Information
Crystal River announced that its Board of Directors declared a
cash distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $0.10
per share of common stock. The cash distribution will be paid on
January 30, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of
business on December 31, 2008.
In setting the dividend, the Board of Directors considered a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, operating
results, taxable income and REIT qualification requirements,
available tax losses, economic conditions, capital requirements,
liquidity, retention of capital and other operating trends. Given
the variability of these considerations, the Board of Directors
will continually reevaluate these factors when determining future
dividends.

REAL ESTATE LOAN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
At September 30, 2008, Crystal River's real estate loan
portfolio, which consists of mezzanine loans, a construction loan
and a whole loan, totaled $31.4 million and had a weighted average
interest rate of 9.1%. Crystal River recorded a $4.4 million loan
loss allowance on its real estate loan holdings during the quarter
ended September 30, 2008.
As previously announced, Crystal River sold whole loans for
$27.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 that the Company had
previously designated for sale. Furthermore, Crystal River's $9.6
million investment in a construction loan matured during the third
quarter of 2008. The investment, which paid off at par, had a
floating-rate coupon of LIBOR plus 3.1%. The proceeds from the
sales and the loan repayment were used to repay debt.

OTHER INFORMATION
The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
5:30 p.m. EST on Monday, November 10, 2008. Please read the Form
10-Q carefully as it will contain Crystal River's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The
Form 10-Q also will be made available under the Investor Relations
section of Crystal River's website at www.crystalriverreit.com.
Definition of Operating Earnings
This press release and accompanying financial information make
reference to Operating Earnings on a total and per share basis. The
Company considers its Operating Earnings to be income after
operating expenses but before loan loss provisions, realized and
unrealized gains and losses, hedge ineffectiveness, foreign
currency exchange impact, loss on impairment of assets, commercial
real estate depreciation and amortization and net change in assets
and liabilities valued under fair value option. The Company
believes Operating Earnings provides useful information to
investors because it views Operating Earnings as an effective
indicator of the Company's profitability and financial performance
over time. Operating Earnings can and will fluctuate based on
changes in asset levels, funding rates, available reinvestment
rates, expected losses on credit-sensitive positions and the return
on the Company's investments as the underlying assets are carried
at estimated fair value. The Company has provided the components of
Operating Earnings and a full reconciliation from net loss to
Operating Earnings with the financial statements accompanying this
press release. Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP measure that does
not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may
not be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies.
Definition of Net Investment Income
This press release and accompanying financial information make
reference to Net Investment Income on a total and per share basis.
The Company considers its Net Investment Income to be total
revenues including income from equity investments less interest
expense. The Company believes Net Investment Income provides useful
information to investors because it represents the largest
component of the Company's Operating Earnings, which management
believes is an effective indicator of the Company's profitability
and financial performance over time. The Company provides the
components of Net Investment Income with the financial statements
accompanying this press release. Net Investment Income is a
non-GAAP measure that does not have any standard meaning prescribed
by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other companies.
Definition of Estimated REIT Taxable Income
Estimated REIT Taxable Income is a non-GAAP financial measure
and does not purport to be an alternative to net loss determined in
accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance or to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
Estimated REIT Taxable Income excludes the net loss of Crystal
River's domestic taxable REIT subsidiary. This non-GAAP financial
measure is important to Crystal River and its stockholders because,
as a real estate investment trust, we are required to pay
substantially all of our REIT taxable income in the form of
distributions to our stockholders and Estimated REIT Taxable Income
is an effective indicator of the total amount of REIT taxable
income available for distributions. Because not all REITs use
identical calculations, this presentation of Estimated REIT Taxable
Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures
prepared and reported by other companies. The Company provides a
full reconciliation from net loss to Estimated REIT Taxable Income
with the financial statements accompanying this press release.
Forward-Looking Information
This news release, and our public documents to which we refer,
contain or incorporate by reference certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, including statements relating to our future
financial results and future dividend payments. Forward-looking
statements that are based on various assumptions (some of which are
beyond our control) may be identified by reference to a future
period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology,
such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"continue," "should," "intend," or similar terms or variations on
those terms or the negative of those terms. Although we believe
that the expectations contained in any forward-looking statement
are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that
our expectations will be attained. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes
in interest rates, changes in yield curve, changes in prepayment
rates, the effectiveness of our hedging strategies, the
availability of mortgage-backed securities and other targeted
investments for purchase and origination, the availability and cost
of capital for financing future investments and, if available, the
terms of any such financing, changes in the market value of our
assets, future margin reductions and the availability of liquid
assets to post additional collateral, changes in business
conditions and the general economy, competition within the
specialty finance sector, changes in government regulations
affecting our business, our ability to maintain our qualification
as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes,
and other risks disclosed from time to time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on the
risks facing the Company, see the risk factors in Exhibit 99.1 to
our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, filed with the
SEC on August 11, 2008 and the updated version of those risk
factors that the Company will file as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10-Q
for the period ended September 30, 2008 that we expect to file with
the SEC by 5:30 p.m. EST on November 10, 2008. We do not undertake,
and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release any
update or supplement to any forward-looking statements to reflect
