State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period:
 
In preparing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “10-Q”), New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) has experienced unexpected delays in preparing and completing the 10-Q due to the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of the retail mortgage origination business to IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. on March 31, 2007 and the subsequent transition period for Registrant’s exit from the mortgage origination business. As a result, the Registrant is not able to file the 10-Q by the prescribed filing date without unreasonable effort and expense. The Registrant expects that it will be able to file the 10-Q within the time period prescribed by Rule 12b-25(b)(2)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
