HANOVER CAPITAL MORTGAGE HOLDINGS
REPORTS 2008 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS
     Edison, New Jersey, April 1, 2009 — Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NYSE Amex: HCM) (the “Company” or “HCM”) reported net earnings (loss) for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $(2.77) million, or $(0.32) per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $(37.7) million, or $(4.37) per share on a fully diluted basis, for the fourth quarter 2007. Net earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $(15.1) million, or $(1.74) per share on a fully diluted basis, versus $(80.0) million, or $(9.68) per share on a fully diluted basis, for the year ended December 31, 2007. There was no estimated taxable income for REIT distribution purposes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Accordingly, the Company did not declare a fourth quarter dividend.
The Company’s book value (deficit) per share declined to $(4.70) as of December 31, 2008 primarily attributable to the net loss of $(15.1) million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $(15.1) million compared to a net loss of $(80.0) million for the previous year. This difference is primarily due to the significant impairments of the Subordinate MBS portfolio in 2007. The impairments taken in 2008 were offset by the gain realized on the surrender of the Company’s Subordinate MBS in settlement of the Repurchase Agreement obligation in August 2008. The remainder is attributable to the increase in the Company’s general operating deficit for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Significant changes in the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2008, from December 31, 2007, are primarily related to the surrendering of the Subordinate MBS portfolio in August 2008, the reduction in the size of its Agency MBS portfolio and the debt related to the financing of those portfolio assets.
On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, with Walter Industries, Inc. (“Walter”) and JWH Holding Company, which was amended and restated on October 28, 2008 and was subsequently amended and restated on February 6, 2009, to, among other things, add Walter Investment Management LLC (“Spinco”), a newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary of Walter, as an additional party to the transaction. On February 17, 2009, the merger agreement was further amended to address certain closing conditions and certain Federal income tax consequences of the spin-off and merger. Our board of directors unanimously approved the merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in the second amended and restated merger agreement, as amended. In connection with the merger, the Surviving Corporation will be renamed “Walter Investment Management Corporation.” The merger agreement contemplates that the merger will occur no later than June 30, 2009.
The Registration Statement of the Company on Form S-4, including the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the pending merger of Spinco and the Company, has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, in connection with the Company’s pending merger, on September 30, 2008, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Taberna Preferred Funding, Ltd. (“Taberna”) and an exchange agreement with Amster Trading Company and Ramat Securities, Ltd. (the “Amster Parties”) (which exchange agreements were amended on February 6, 2009), to acquire (and subsequently cancel) the outstanding trust preferred securities of HST-I, currently held by Taberna, and the trust preferred securities of HST-II, currently held by the Amster Parties.
In connection with the pending merger, the Company established a record date of February 17, 2009, and will hold a special meeting of stockholders on April 15, 2009 to approve the merger and certain other transactions described in the proxy statement/prospectus. Pending approval by the Company’s stockholders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, the merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter 2009. No vote of Walter stockholders is required.
John A. Burchett, the Company’s President and CEO, commented, “We look forward to our April 15, 2009 special meeting and are optimistic that the Company’s shareholders will provide the requisite vote needed to approve of the pending merger with Spinco.”

Presentation
Operator
Greetings and welcome to the Hanover Capital Fourth Quarter Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press *0 on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. John Burchett, President and CEO, for Hanover Capital. Thank you, Mr. Burchett. You may begin.
John A. Burchett — Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc — President and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Claudia. Thank you everybody for joining the call this morning. As we start the call, I just want to remind everyone of our standard disclaimers about forward-looking statements that are set forth both in yesterday’s earnings release and our Form 10-K for the quarter and the year ended 12/31/2008, which we filed with the SEC on March 31, along with any such statements that were included in our Form S-4 which has been filed and declared effective by the SEC in connection with our proposed merger.
We released our fourth quarter earnings and the annual earnings. We had a loss for the year and the quarter. The primary financial driver for the year was the ultimate sale of our subordinate bonds to our repo lender which happened in August and we’ve been going through the rest of the year without a main driver for income from the asset side. I won’t spend a lot of time with the financials because I think we’re more interested in the forward looking, where we’re going.
As you all know, all our stockholders have received the proxy information on our proposed merger, in which Walter Mortgage Company will be merging into our company to form a new company. After that merger date, our annual meeting, our special meeting... excuse me, our special meeting for that shareholder vote will be held in New York City on April 15 and we urge all stockholders to get their votes in and management and the Board of Directors have said that we urge all stockholders to vote for all the proposals. To the extent there are any questions, I know our proxy solicitation firm has been calling, but we can answer questions today to the extent of public information on the transaction.
Assuming that the votes pass on the 15th and other items are completed in the merger agreement, which we think they will be, the merger would be effective after the close of business on Friday the 17th and the company would start trading on the new stock symbol on Monday the 20th and that would be as WAC traded on the NYSE/AMEX.
That’s really all I had in terms of prepared remarks today. So, Claudia, I’ll open it up if anybody has got any questions that we can help them out with at this time.
Operator

As a reminder, ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to ask a question please press *1 on your telephone keypad at this time.
Mr. Burchett, we have no questions coming from the phone.
John A. Burchett — Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc — President and Chief Executive Officer
Okay. I guess I was clear in everything I said then. I appreciate everybody being on the call and again we urge everybody that are stockholders that are on the phone to get their votes in and we urge... we recommend that they vote for all the proposals. And to the extent anybody has any questions, feel free to call me directly, and thank you for joining the call.
Operator
