SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) -- Thornburg Mortgage says it will restate its 2006 and 2007 earnings as it takes additional write-downs on the value of certain mortgage holdings.
Thornburg says it will reduce the value of certain portfolios by $427.8 million.
Weakening credit markets have led to the value of mortgage-backed securities plummeting. Because of the declining prices, Thornburg must restate the value of its mortgage-backed securities to comply with accounting standards.
Thornburg (TMA) has faced $1.78 billion in margin calls since the beginning of the year. It has yet to meet $610 million in calls and says it is unlikely to be able to pay them all off. See Also
