Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc., Shareholder:

 

It is our pleasure to present to you the semiannual report for PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”), covering the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Fund’s fiscal half-year end.

 

For the six-month reporting period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark on both a share-price and net-asset-value performance basis. The Fund returned 1.45% based on its NYSE share price and 1.38% based on net asset value during the six-month period. In comparison, the benchmark Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (which includes Treasury, Investment-Grade Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities) returned -0.72% during the same period. On June 30, 2006, the Fund’s net assets stood at $130.4 million.

 

Highlights of the bond market during the six-month period included:

 

  n   Most fixed-income sectors lost ground during the first half of 2006, as concern about accelerating inflation and central bank tightening pushed interest rates higher worldwide. On June 30, 2006, the benchmark ten-year Treasury yielded 5.14%, 0.75% higher than at the start of the year. The U.S. yield curve remained flat as shorter-maturity yields rose by a comparable amount.

 

  n   The Federal Reserve tightened four times during the reporting period, bringing the Federal Funds Rate to 5.25%. The increase near the end of the period was the Federal Reserve’s 17th consecutive rate hike since the start of its tightening cycle in 2004. The Federal Reserve was not alone, as central banks in Europe, India, and China tightened credit in unison for the first time since 2000. The Bank of Japan, whose zero-interest-rate policy has flooded global markets with liquidity, looked set to reverse this policy in the coming months.

 

In these pages please find details on the Fund’s portfolio and total-return investment performance, including our discussion of the primary factors that affected performance during the six-month reporting period.

 

If you have any questions regarding your Fund investment, please contact us at 1-866-746-2606. Additionally, please visit the Fund’s web site at www.pcmfund.com. Thank you again for the trust you have placed in us. We will continue to work diligently to meet your investment needs.

 

Sincerely,

Important Information About the Fund

 

The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end bond fund that trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PCM.” Formed in 1993, the Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve high current income by investing in a portfolio comprised primarily of commercial mortgage-backed securities. These securities are fixed income instruments representing an interest in mortgage loans on commercial real estate properties such as office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, apartment buildings, nursing homes and industrial properties. Capital gains from the disposition of investments is a secondary objective of the Fund.

 

Summary of Risks

 

We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates would negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed-income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed-income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.

 

The Fund may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: mortgage risk, prepayment risk, real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, non-U.S. security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk, leveraging risk and the risk that the Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. The Fund’s investments in derivatives could result in losses greater than the principal amount. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio. The credit quality of a particular security or group of securities does not ensure the stability or safety of the overall portfolio.

 

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The line graph depicts the value of a net $10,000 investment made at the Fund’s inception on September 2, 1993 and held through June 30, 2006, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. Investment performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distribution, if any. The Fund’s NYSE Share Price performance does not reflect the effect of sales loads or broker commissions. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Investment return and share value will fluctuate so that Fund shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares.

Portfolio Insights

 

»   The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”).

 

»   CMBS outperformed Treasuries during the six months ended June 30, 2006, with lower-quality credits far outpacing higher-quality issues.

 

»   A focus on below-investment-grade CMBS boosted returns as BB-rated bonds significantly outperformed investment grade issues.

 

»   Holdings in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) sectors contributed to returns as both sectors outperformed the benchmark Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Specifically, holdings in FNMA, MBS, Manufactured Housing ABS and Home Equity ABS were solid contributors.

 

»   The Fund’s above-index duration exposure, or sensitivity to changes in market interest rates, was negative for performance in the first half of the year as rates rose across all points on the Treasury curve.

Notes to Financial Statements   June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.  GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”) commenced operations on September 2, 1993. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as a closed-end, non-diversified, investment management company organized as a Maryland corporation. The stock exchange symbol of the Fund is PCM. Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Security Valuation.  Fund shares are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Fixed-income securities and non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed-income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange.

 

Investments initially valued in currencies other than U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (“NAV”) of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares.

 

Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Directors has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, generally based upon recommendations provided by PIMCO.

 

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of regular trading, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to PIMCO the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.

 

When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Directors or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined by the Board of Directors or persons acting at their direction may not accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days, the NAV of a Fund’s portfolio that includes securities may change

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares. The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income.  Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related or asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income in the Statement of Operations.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  The Fund intends to distribute all its net investment income monthly. Net realized capital gains earned by the Fund, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.

 

Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and GAAP may change the fiscal year when income and capital items are recognized for tax and GAAP purposes. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of characterization differences include the treatment of mortgage paydowns, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income and realized capital gain reported in each Fund’s annual financial statements presented under GAAP.

 

Federal Income Taxes.  The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

 

Futures Contracts.  The Fund is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities.  The Fund may invest in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

One type of SMBS has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for IOs are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

 

Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, the Fund will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.

 

Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of a portfolio-eligible security by the Fund, coupled with an agreement to repurchase the security at a specified date and price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities retained by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the securities sold by the Fund, which it is obligated to repurchase. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowing by the Fund. To the extent the Fund collateralizes its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, such transactions will not be deemed subject to the 300% asset coverage requirements imposed by the Act. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. The average amount of borrowings outstanding during the period ended June 30, 2006 was $67,758,526 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.86%.

 

Swap Agreements.  The Fund may engage in swap transactions, including, but not limited to, swap agreements on interest rate to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the Fund are included as part of realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

 

U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises.  Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith

 

    Semiannual Report   June 30, 2006   17

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

and credit of the U. S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

Guarantees and Indemnifications.  Under the Fund’s organizational documents, each Director, officer, employee or other agent of the Fund (including the Fund’s investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts, and believes the risk of loss to be remote.

 

New Accounting Policies.  In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the application of the Interpretation to the Fund and will provide additional information in relation to the Interpretation in the Portfolio’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006.

 

3.  FEES, EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Investment Manager Fee.  PIMCO is a majority owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“AGI”) and serves as investment manager (the “Manager”) to the Fund, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Manager receives a quarterly fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.725% based on average weekly net assets of the Fund.

 

Administration Fee.  PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Fund for which it receives from the Fund a quarterly administrative fee at an annual rate of 0.10% based on average weekly net assets of the Fund. As the Administrator, PIMCO bears the cost of various third-party services, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs.

 

Expenses.  The Fund is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Fund’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses and bank overdraft fees; (v) fees and expenses of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Fund, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) printing expense; (vii) proxy expense; (viii) legal fees; (ix) audit fees; (x) custodian fees; (xi) organization expenses; and (xii) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses. The ratio of expenses to average net assets, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual fund operating expenses as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.

 

For the current period ended June 30, 2006, each unaffiliated Director received an annual retainer of $6,000, plus $1,000 for each Board of Directors quarterly meeting attended, $250 for each Board of Directors committee meeting attended and $500 for each special board meeting attended, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each Committee Chair received an additional annual retainer of $500 and each Audit Committee Chair received an additional annual retainer of $1,000. These expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis to the Fund according to its net assets. The Fund pays no compensation directly to any Director or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Fund from the Administrator or its affiliates.

 

4.  PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

 

The length of time the Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as “portfolio turnover”. The Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

On June 1, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey announced that it had dismissed PIMCO from a complaint filed by the New Jersey Attorney General on February 17, 2004, and that it had entered into a settlement agreement (the “New Jersey Settlement”) with AGI, PEA Capital LLC (an entity affiliated with PIMCO through common ownership) (“PEA”) and Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”), in connection with the same matter. In the New Jersey Settlement, AGI, PEA and AGID neither admitted nor denied the allegations or conclusions of law, but did agree to pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further potential enforcement initiatives against unrelated parties. They also undertook to implement certain governance changes. The complaint relating to the New Jersey Settlement alleged, among other things, that AGI, PEA and AGID had failed to disclose that they improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in certain funds. The complaint sought injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties, restitution and disgorgement of profits.

 

Since February 2004, PIMCO, AGI, PEA, AGID, and certain of their affiliates, including the PIMCO Funds, the Allianz Funds, and the Trustees and employees of the PIMCO Funds, have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern “market timing,” and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern “revenue sharing” and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMCO Funds and the Allianz Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMCO Funds and Allianz Funds.

 

The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in “market timing” in certain of the Allianz Funds and the PIMCO Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed. Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, the Trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMCO Funds or on behalf of the PIMCO Funds themselves against other defendants. By order dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted the PIMCO Funds’ motion to dismiss claims asserted against it in a consolidated amended complaint where the PIMCO Funds were named, in the complaint, as a nominal defendant. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote the Allianz Funds and PIMCO Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. On August 11, 2005 the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut conducted a hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in the revenue sharing action but has not yet

ruled on the motion to dismiss. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.

 

Under Section 9(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), if the New Jersey Settlement or any of the lawsuits described above were to result in a court injunction against AGI, PEA, AGID and/or their affiliates, PIMCO could, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser to any registered investment company, including the Fund. In connection with an inquiry from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a), PEA, AGID, AGI and certain of their affiliates (including PIMCO) (together, the “Applicants”) have sought exemptive relief from the SEC under Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act. The SEC has granted the Applicants a temporary exemption from the provisions of

Section 9(a) with respect to the New Jersey Settlement until the earlier of (i) September 13, 2006 and (ii) the date on which the SEC takes final action on their application for a permanent order. There is no assurance that the SEC will issue a permanent order.

 

Two nearly identical class action civil complaints have been filed in August 2005, in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division alleging that the plaintiffs each purchased and sold a 10-year Treasury note futures contract and suffered damages from an alleged shortage when PIMCO held both physical and futures positions in 10-year Treasury notes for its client accounts. The two actions have been consolidated into one action, and the two separate complaints have been replaced by a consolidated complaint. PIMCO is a named defendant, and the PIMCO Funds have been added as a defendant, to the consolidated action. PIMCO strongly believes the complaint (and any consolidated complaint filed hereafter) is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

 

The Fund was recently served in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Asbestos Claimants of G-I Holdings, Inc. in G-I Holdings, Inc.’s bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey. PIMCO was previously named in this lawsuit and remains a defendant. The plaintiff seeks to recover for the bankruptcy estate assets that were transferred by the predecessor entity of G-I Holdings, Inc. to a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1994. The subsidiary has since issued notes, of which the Fund is alleged to be a holder. The complaint alleges that in 2000, more than two hundred noteholders–including the Fund–were granted a second priority lien on the assets of the subsidiary in exchange for their consent to a refinancing transaction and the granting of a first priority lien to the lending banks. The plaintiff is seeking invalidation of the lien in favor of the noteholders and/or the value of the lien.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report. PIMCO believes that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on PIMCO’s ability to perform its investment advisory services on behalf of the Fund.

Privacy Policy*   (Unaudited)

 

 

 

The Funds consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure their shareholders’ privacy, the Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.

 

Obtaining Personal Information

 

In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on the Funds’ internet web sites.

 

Respecting Your Privacy

 

As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. A Fund’s Distributor may also retain non-affiliated companies to market the Fund’s shares or products which use the Fund’s shares and enter into joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm.

 

Sharing Information with Third Parties

 

The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party with the consent of the shareholder.

 

Sharing Information with Affiliates

 

The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing their shareholders’ accounts or to provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, principal underwriters or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s accounts. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

 

Procedures to Safeguard Private Information

 

The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In order to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.

 

* This Privacy Policy applies to the following entities: PIMCO Funds, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and PIMCO Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”).

Dividend Reinvesetment Plan

 

(Unaudited)

 

What is the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc.?

 

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan offers shareholders in the Fund an efficient and simple way to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, in additional shares of the Fund. Each month the Fund will distribute to shareholders substantially all of its net investment income. The Fund expects to distribute at least annually any net realized long-term or short-term capital gains. Computershare Trust Co., N.A. acts as Plan Agent for shareholders in administering the Plan.

 

Who can participate in the Plan?

 

All shareholders in the Fund may participate in the Plan by following the instructions for enrollment provided later in this section.

 

What does the Plan offer?

 

The Plan offers shareholders a simple and convenient means to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.

 

How is the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions accomplished?

 

If you are a participant in the Plan, your dividends and capital gains distributions will be reinvested automatically for you, increasing your holding in the Fund. If the Fund declares a dividend or capital gains distribution payable either in cash or in shares of the Fund, you will automatically receive shares of the Fund. If the market price of shares is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share on the Valuation Date (as defined below), Plan participants will be issued shares valued at the net asset value most recently determined or, if net asset value is less than 95% of the then-current market price, then at 95% of the market price.

 

If the market price is less than the net asset value on the Valuation Date, the Plan Agent will buy shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. If, following the commencement of the purchase and before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund at net asset value. Additionally, if the market price exceeds the net asset value before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the Plan Agent is permitted to cease purchasing shares and the Fund may issue the remaining shares at a price equal to the greater of net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. In a case where the Plan Agent has terminated open market purchases and the Fund has issued the remaining shares, the number of shares received by the participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. The Plan Agent will apply all cash received to purchase shares as soon as practicable after the payment date of the dividend or capital gains distribution, but in no event later than 30 days after that date, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

 

The Valuation Date is the dividend or capital gains distribution payment date or, if that date is not a NYSE trading day, the immediately preceding trading day. All reinvestments are in full and fractional shares, carried to three decimal places.

 

Is there a cost to participate?

 

There is no direct charge to participants for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions, since the Plan Agent’s fees are paid by the Fund. There are no brokerage charges for shares issued directly by the Fund. Whenever shares are purchased on the NYSE or elsewhere in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, each participant will pay a pro rata portion of brokerage commissions. Brokerage charges for purchasing shares through the Plan are expected to be less than the usual brokerage charges for individual transactions, because the Plan Agent will purchase shares for all participants in blocks, resulting in lower commissions for each individual participant.

 

What are the tax implications for participants?

 

You will receive tax information annually for your personal records to help you prepare your federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions does not affect the tax characterization of the dividends and capital gains. Other questions should be directed to your tax adviser.

How do participating shareholders benefit?

 

You will build holdings in the Fund easily and automatically at reduced costs.

 

You will receive a detailed account statement from the Plan Agent, showing total dividends and distributions, dates of investments, shares acquired and price per share, and total shares of record held by you and by the Plan Agent for you. The proxy you receive in connection with the Fund’s shareholder meetings will include shares purchased for you by the Plan Agent according to the Plan.

 

As long as you participate in the Plan, shares acquired through the Plan will be held for you in safekeeping in non-certificated form by Computershare Trust Co., N.A., the Plan Agent. This convenience provides added protection against loss, theft or inadvertent destruction of certificates.

 

Whom should I contact for additional information?

 

If you hold shares in your own name, please address all notices, correspondence, questions or other communications regarding the Plan to:

 

PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc.

c/o Computershare Trust Co., N.A.

250 Royall Street

Canton, MA 02021

Telephone: 1-800-213-3606

 

If your shares are not held in your name, you should contact your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee for more information.

 

How do I enroll in the Plan?

 

If you hold shares of the Fund in your own name, you are already enrolled in this Plan. Your reinvestments will begin with the first dividend after you purchase your shares. If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to see if it will participate in the Plan on your behalf. If your nominee is unable to participate in the Plan on your behalf, you may want to request that your shares be registered in your name with the Plan Agent so that you can participate in the Plan.

 

Once enrolled in the Plan, may I withdraw from it?

 

You may withdraw from the Plan without penalty at any time by providing written notice to Computershare

 

Trust Co., N.A. Elections to withdraw from the Plan will be effective for distributions with a Record Date of at least ten days after such elections are received by the Plan Agent.

 

If you withdraw, you will receive, without charge, a share certificate issued in your name for all full shares accumulated in your account from dividend and capital gains distributions, plus a check for any fractional shares based on market price.

 

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, either the Fund or the Plan Agent may amend or terminate the Plan. Participants will receive written notice at least 30 days before the effective date of any amendment. In the case of termination, participants will receive written notice at least 30 days before the record date of any dividend or capital gains distribution by the Fund.
