PENNYMAC MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation

        PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust ("PMT" or the "Company") was organized in Maryland on May 18, 2009, and began operations on August 4, 2009, when it completed its initial offerings of common shares of beneficial interest ("shares"). The Company is a specialty finance company, which, through its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly-owned), invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets.

        The Company's primary investment objective is to maximize the value of the mortgage loans that it acquires, a substantial portion of which may be distressed and acquired at discounts to their unpaid principal balances, either through loan modification programs, special servicing and other initiatives focused on keeping borrowers in their homes, or, when necessary, through timely acquisition and liquidation of the property securing the loan. Accordingly, management has concluded that the Company operates as a single segment.

        The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), beginning with its taxable period ended on December 31, 2009. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company plans to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of qualifying distributions to shareholders.

        The Company is externally managed by an affiliate, PNMAC Capital Management, LLC ("PCM" or the "Manager"), an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that specializes in and focuses on residential mortgage loans. Under the terms of a management agreement, PCM is paid a management fee with a base component and a performance incentive component. Determination of the amount of management fees is discussed in
Note 3—
Transactions with Related Parties.

        The Company conducts substantially all of its operations, and makes substantially all of its investments, through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and the Operating Partnership's subsidiaries. A subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the SEC's instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

        Preparation of financial statements in compliance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

        In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2011.

(Unaudited)

Note 2—Concentration of Risks

        As discussed in Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation above, PMT's operations and investing activities are centered in real estate-related assets, a substantial portion of which are distressed at acquisition. Because of the Company's investment strategy, many of the mortgage loans in its targeted asset class are purchased at discounts reflecting their distressed state or perceived higher risk of default, as well as a greater likelihood of collateral documentation deficiencies. PCM validates key information provided by the sellers that is necessary to determine the value of the acquired asset. Most of the non-correspondent lending loans purchased by the Company have been acquired from one major financial institution.

        Through its management agreement with PCM and its loan servicing agreements with its loan servicers, including PennyMac Loan Services, LLC ("PLS"), PMT will work with borrowers to perform loss mitigation activities. Such activities include the use of loan modification programs (such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP) and workout options that PCM believes have the highest probability of successful resolution for both borrowers and PMT. Loan modification or resolution may include PMT accepting a writedown of the principal balances of certain mortgage loans in its investment portfolio. When loan modifications and other efforts are unable to cure distressed loans, the Company's objective is to effect timely acquisition and liquidation of the property securing the mortgage loan.

        Because of the Company's investment focus, PMT is exposed, to a greater extent than traditional mortgage investors, to the risks that borrowers may be in economic distress and/or may have become unemployed, bankrupt or otherwise unable or unwilling to make payments when due, and to the effects of fluctuations in the residential real estate market on the performance of its investments. Factors influencing these risks include, but are not limited to:

        Due to these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that risk management activities identified and executed on PMT's behalf will prevent significant losses arising from the Company's investments in real estate-related assets.

Note 2—Concentration of Risks (Continued)

        The Company purchased $243.1 million and $101.4 million at fair value of mortgage loans for its investment portfolio during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of those totals, $227.3 million and $91.3 million at fair value of mortgage loans were purchased from subsidiaries of one money-center bank.

        As discussed in Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties, a portion of the Company's short term investments is made in an uninsured institutional money market fund that is managed by a strategic investor in the parent company of PCM and PLS. The fund invests exclusively in first-tier securities as rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The fund's investments are comprised primarily of domestic commercial paper, securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies, obligations of foreign banks with operations in the United States, fully collateralized repurchase agreements and variable and floating rate demand notes.

Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties

        The Company is managed externally by PCM under the terms of a management agreement that expires on August 4, 2012 and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term each anniversary date thereafter unless previously terminated. If the Company terminates the management agreement without cause, or PCM terminates the management agreement upon a default in the Company's performance of any material term in the management agreement, PMT will be obligated to pay a termination fee to PCM. As more fully described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "Annual Report"), certain of the underwriting costs incurred in the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") were paid on PMT's behalf by PCM and a portion of the underwriting discount was deferred by agreement with the underwriters of the offering. Under circumstances where the termination fee is payable, PMT will reimburse PCM the underwriting costs discussed in Note 12—Shareholders' Equity.

        PMT pays PCM a base management fee and may pay a performance incentive fee, both payable quarterly and in arrears. Following is a summary of management fee expense and the related liability recorded by the Company for the periods presented:

Note 3—Transactions with Related Parties (Continued)

        The Company, through the Operating Partnership, also has a loan servicing agreement with PLS. Servicing fee rates are based on the risk characteristics of the mortgage loans serviced and total servicing compensation is established at levels that management believes are competitive with those charged by other servicers or specialty servicers, as applicable.

        Servicing fee rates for nonperforming loans are expected to range between 30 and 100 basis points per year on the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans serviced on the Company's behalf. PLS is also entitled to certain customary market-based fees and charges, including boarding and de-boarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges, as well as interest on funds on deposit in custodial or escrow accounts. In the event PLS either effects a refinancing of a loan on the Company's behalf and not through a third party lender and the resulting loan is readily saleable, or originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of real estate that the Company has acquired in settlement of a loan, PLS is entitled to receive from the Company an origination fee of 1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of the loan plus $750. Similarly, when PLS originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of real estate that it acquires in settlement of a loan, PLS will be entitled to a fee in the same amount.

        The Company currently participates in HAMP (and other similar mortgage loan modification programs), which establishes standard loan modification guidelines for "at risk" homeowners and provides incentive payments to certain participants, including loan servicers, for achieving modifications and successfully remaining in the program. The loan servicing agreement entitles PLS to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which the Company previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS shall reimburse the Company an amount equal to the lesser of such modification fee or such incentive payments.

        In connection with the Company's correspondent lending business, PLS is entitled to base servicing fees, which range from 5 to 20 basis points per year of the unpaid principal balance of such loans, and other customary market-based fees and charges as described above. PLS also provides certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, to the Company for a fulfillment fee based on a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans. The fulfillment fee for such services is currently 50 basis points. Since November 1, 2010, the Company has collected interest income and a sourcing fee of three basis points for each mortgage loan it purchases from a correspondent and sells to PLS for ultimate disposition to a third party only where the Company is not approved or licensed to sell to such third party. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded fulfillment fees totaling $12,000. No fulfillment fees were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

        The Company paid servicing fees to PLS as described above and as provided in its loan servicing agreement and recorded other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on its behalf by PCM and its affiliates, in accordance with the terms of its management agreement.

        During the Company's startup period and through the quarter ended March 31, 2010, PCM and its affiliates did not charge the Company for its proportionate share of common overhead expenses. Such expenses totaled approximately $500,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. No other charges were waived by PCM during the Company's startup period and through the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Management believes that PCM does not intend to waive recovery of common overhead costs in the future.

Note 4—Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share is determined using net earnings divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company made grants of restricted share units which entitle the recipients to receive dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common shares. Unvested share-based compensation awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, "dividends") are participating securities and are included in the basic earnings per share calculation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends.

        The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods presented:

Note 5—Fair Value

        The Company's financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their estimated fair values. The application of fair value estimates may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.

        Management identified all of its financial assets, including the short term investments, mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and mortgage loans, as well as its securities sold under agreements to repurchase and its mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") to be accounted for at estimated fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company's investment performance. For loans sold under agreements to repurchase subject to agreements made beginning in December 2010, management has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt and not expensed as incurred, thereby reflecting the debt issuance expense over the periods benefiting from the usage of the debt.

        The Company measures its investment in real estate acquired in settlement of loans at management's estimates of the respective properties' fair values less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis. The value of the real estate acquired in settlement of loans is initially established as the lesser of (a) either the fair value of the loan at the date of transfer or the purchase price of the property, and (b) the fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell as of the date of transfer. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the value at which the property was initially recorded is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

Note 5—Fair Value (Continued)

        The Company carried $31.3 million and $29.7 million of real estate acquired in settlement of loans on its consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, mortgage loans with fair values of $14.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were transferred to real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans with fair values of $9.2 million was remeasured at fair value less estimated costs to sell during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Losses totaling $1.3 million were recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans as a result of these remeasurements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. No real estate acquired in settlement of loans was remeasured at fair value during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

        In November and December 2010, the Company acquired new debt facilities to finance its investment in nonperforming loans in the form of repurchase agreements. As discussed above, management designated these agreements to be accounted for at amortized cost. Management has concluded that the estimated fair value of loans sold under agreements to repurchase approximates the agreements' carrying value due to the agreements' short terms and variable interest rates.

        The following describes the methods used in estimating the fair values of Level 2 and Level 3 financial statement items:

        Non-Agency MBS are categorized as "Level 3" financial statement items. Fair value of non-Agency MBS is estimated using broker indications of value. Agency MBS refers to securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are each referred to as an "Agency" and, collectively, as the "Agencies"). For indications of value received as of March 31, 2011, PCM's Capital Markets staff reviewed, and its senior management Valuation Committee reviewed and approved, the securities' values. PCM's review is for the purpose of evaluating the reasonableness of the broker's indication of value and may result in the broker modifying its indications of value. PCM does not intend to adjust its fair value estimates to amounts different from the broker's indications of value.

        Interest income on MBS is recognized over the life of the security using the interest method and is included in the consolidated statement of income under the caption Interest income—Mortgage-backed securities. Changes in fair value arising from amortization of purchase premiums and accrual of unearned discounts are recognized as a component of interest income.

Note 5—Fair Value (Continued)

        Fair value of mortgage loans is estimated based on whether the mortgage loans are saleable into active markets with established counterparties and transparent pricing:

        Management incorporates lack of liquidity into its fair value estimates based on the type of asset or liability measured and the valuation method used. For example, for mortgage loans where the significant inputs have become unobservable due to illiquidity in the markets for distressed mortgage loans or non-Agency, non-conforming mortgage loans, PMT uses a discounted cash flow technique to estimate fair value. This technique incorporates forecasting of expected cash flows discounted at an appropriate market discount rate that is intended to reflect the lack of liquidity in the market.

        Interest income on loans is recognized over the life of the loan using its contractual interest rate and is included in the consolidated statement of income under the caption Interest income—Mortgage loans. Accrual of interest earned but not yet collected is suspended and all previously accrued interest is reversed for loans when they become 90 days delinquent, or when, in management's opinion, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Accrual of interest is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current. At March 31, 2011, the Company had suspended accrual of interest relating to approximately 80% of its investment in mortgage loans, as measured by their estimated fair values, due to delinquency.

        Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a "Level 3" financial statement item. Fair value of real estate acquired in settlement of loans is determined by management based on a current estimate of value that is based on a broker's price opinion or a full appraisal. Changes in fair value of real estate acquired in settlement of loans are included in the consolidated statement of income under the caption Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

        MSRs are categorized as "Level 3" financial statement items. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management assumes market participants would use in their

determinations of value. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment and default rates of the underlying loans, the applicable discount rate, and cost to service loans. The Company identified MSRs resulting from its correspondent lending activities as a class of servicing rights and elected to apply fair value accounting to these MSRs. Presently, this class represents all of the Company's MSRs. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in the consolidated statement of income under the caption Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

        Fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is based on the accrued cost of the agreements, which approximates fair value, due to the agreements' short maturities.

        At March 31, 2011, approximately 74% of the non-correspondent lending mortgage loan portfolio consisted of mortgage loans that were originated between 2005 and 2007.

Note 12—Shareholders' Equity

        On February 16, 2011, the Company issued and sold 9,500,000 common shares in an underwritten public offering at a price of $18 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $163.8 million after the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses and the reimbursement of certain expenses. On March 3, 2011, the Company issued and sold an additional 1,425,000 common shares at a price of $18 per share pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the public offering's underwriters and received $24.6 million of proceeds after the underwriting discount and reimbursement of certain expenses.

        As more fully described in the Company's Annual Report, certain of the underwriting costs incurred in the Company's IPO were paid on PMT's behalf by PCM and a portion of the underwriting discount was deferred by agreement with the underwriters of the offering. Reimbursement to PCM and payment to the underwriters of the deferred underwriting discount are both contingent on PMT's performance during the 24 full calendar quarters after the date of the completion of its IPO, August 4, 2009. If PMT meets the specified performance levels during the 24-quarter period, the Company will reimburse PCM approximately $2.9 million of underwriting costs paid by PCM on the offering date and pay the underwriters approximately $5.9 million in deferred underwriting discount. If this requirement is not satisfied by the end of such 24-quarter period, the Company's obligation to reimburse PCM and make the conditional payment of the underwriting discount will terminate. Management has concluded that this contingency is probable of being met during the 24-quarter period and has recognized a liability for reimbursement to PCM and payment of the contingent underwriting discount as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Note 13—Share-Based Compensation Plan

        The Company's equity incentive plan allows for grants of equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 8% of PMT's issued and outstanding shares on a diluted basis at the time of the award. Restricted share units have been awarded to trustees and officers of the Company and to employees of PCM and its affiliates at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to four-year period. Expense relating to awards is included in the consolidated statement of income under the caption Compensation.

Note 14—Income Taxes

        The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, PMT generally will not be subject to corporate federal or state income tax to the extent that qualifying distributions are made to shareholders and the Company meets REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. The Company believes that it has met the distribution requirements, as it has declared dividends sufficient to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Taxable income will generally differ from net income. The primary difference between net income and the REIT taxable income (before deduction for qualifying distributions) is the income of the taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). Other than the TRS income, the other differences between REIT book income and REIT taxable income are not material.

        In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital.

Note 14—Income Taxes (Continued)

        The Company has elected to treat two of its subsidiaries as TRSs. Income from the TRSs is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to the REIT. No such dividend distributions were made in the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for the TRSs is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

        The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns for both the REIT and TRSs. These returns for 2009 and forward are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities. No returns are currently under examination.

Table of Contents

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        We are a specialty finance company that invests primarily in residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long-term, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. We intend to achieve this objective primarily by investing in mortgage loans, a substantial portion of which may be distressed and acquired at discounts to their unpaid principal balances. We acquire these loans through direct acquisitions of mortgage loan portfolios from institutions such as banks, mortgage companies and insurance companies and direct acquisitions or participations in structured transactions. A significant portion of the nonperforming loans we have purchased have been acquired from one major financial institution.

        We seek to maximize the value of the mortgage loans that we acquire using means that are appropriate for the particular loan, including both proprietary and nonproprietary loan modification programs (such as HAMP), special servicing and other initiatives focused on avoiding foreclosure, when possible. When we are unable to effect a cure for a mortgage delinquency, our objective is to effect timely acquisition and/or liquidation of the property securing the loan. We supplement these activities through participation in the following other mortgage-related activities, which are in various states of analysis, planning or implementation:

        We are externally managed by PCM, an investment adviser that specializes in, and focuses on, residential mortgage loans. Most of our mortgage loan portfolio is serviced by PLS, an affiliate of PCM.

27


Table of Contents

        We conduct substantially all of our operations, and make substantially all of our investments, through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. One of our subsidiaries is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and we are the sole limited partner.

        We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT. We believe that we will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet certain asset, income and share ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our profits will be subject to income taxes and we may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year we lose our REIT qualification. A portion of our activities are conducted in a taxable REIT subsidiary, which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we have made a provision for income taxes with respect to the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary. We expect that the effective rate for the provisions for income taxes will be volatile in future periods. Our goal is to manage the business to take full advantage of the tax benefits afforded to us as a REIT.


Observations on Current Market Opportunities

        The U.S. economy continues its pattern of modest growth, with economic data providing mixed reports on the economic recovery. During the first quarter of 2011, the U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 1.8% annual rate compared to the 3.7% and 3.1% annual rates for the first quarter and fourth quarters of 2010, respectively. Residential real estate transactions continue to see historically low levels of activity. However, the economy continues to grow, and economic growth is beginning to be reflected in improving unemployment rates as shown in the rate of unemployment dropping below 9% in the last two months of the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This decline in unemployment follows 21 months of unemployment rates above 9%, a rate that is high by recent historical standards. High unemployment levels are reflected in increasing personal and business bankruptcy filings as well as high delinquency and foreclosure rates on residential mortgage loans.

        While the economy is showing signs of improvement, distress in the banking industry persists at historically high levels. During the first quarter of 2011, 26 depository institutions were seized, compared to 30 depository institutions in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 157 for all of 2010 as compared to 140 for all of 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the most recent date for which problem bank information is available, the number of problem banks as identified by the FDIC increased to 884 from 775 at March 31, 2010.

        Thirty-year mortgage interest rates increased from 4.77% for the week ended January 6, 2011 to 4.86% for the week ended March 31, 2011 (Source: Freddie Mac's Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey). Interest rates have been trending upward from their 2010 low of 4.17% reached during November 2010.

        Our Manager continues to see substantial volumes of nonperforming residential mortgage loan sales by a limited number of sellers, but very few sales of troubled but performing loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, our Manager reviewed 19 mortgage loan pools with unpaid principal balances totaling approximately $2.5 billion. These mortgage loan pools were offered by 15 prospective sellers. We made acquisitions of distressed mortgage loans totaling $243.1 million, of which $227.3 million were acquired from one seller. After March 31, 2011, PCM completed the purchase, on our behalf, of $30.5 million of mortgage loans and committed to acquire, on our behalf, mortgage loans with purchase prices totaling approximately $133.6 million. The pending transactions are subject to changes in the loans allocated to us by PCM, continuing due diligence, customary closing conditions and our obtaining additional capital adequate to fund the transactions. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transactions will be completed at all.

        We expect that our mortgage loan portfolio may continue to grow at an uneven pace, as opportunities to acquire distressed mortgage loans may be irregularly timed and may involve large

28


Table of Contents


portfolios of mortgage loans, and the timing and extent of our success in acquiring such mortgage loans, along with availability of capital to complete such transactions, cannot be predicted.

        We believe that the collapse of the independent mortgage company business model and the weakened condition of banks and other traditional mortgage lenders have created additional opportunities for our business. Under current market conditions, these opportunities include the purchase from smaller mortgage lenders of newly originated mortgage loans that are eligible for sale to a government-sponsored entity ("GSE") such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are each referred to as an "Agency" and, collectively, as the "Agencies"). To the extent market conditions improve, or GSE loan size limits are reduced, these opportunities could also include the purchase of newly originated mortgage loans that can be resold in the non-Agency whole loan market or securitized in the private label market. We believe that this strategy would also benefit us by supplementing PCM's continuing efforts to increase the number of relationships with depository and other financial institutions that may hold distressed residential mortgage loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we acquired $19.6 million in fair value of newly originated mortgage loans.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded net income of $7.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. Our net income reflects net gains on our investments totaling $9.9 million, including $8.0 million of valuation gains, supplemented by $6.2 million of interest income, and gains from real estate operations of $1.1 million.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, reflected net gains on our investments totaling $1.2 million, all of which were valuation gains, supplemented by $2.7 million of interest income. Our net income for the first quarter of 2010 did not include provision for approximately $500,000 of common overhead costs relating to the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that were otherwise due to PCM because PCM waived recovery of such costs through the first quarter of 2010. PCM has not subsequently waived, and we believe that PCM does not intend to waive in the future, recovery of common overhead costs.

Net Investment Income

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded net investment income of $17.3 million, comprised of net gains on investments of $9.9 million supplemented by $6.2 million of interest income and $1.1 million of gains from results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans. This compares to net investment income of $3.9 million recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which was comprised primarily of $2.7 million of interest income, supplemented by net gains on investments totaling $1.2 million. The growth and shift in net investment income reflects the incomplete deployment of the proceeds from our IPO and the short time in which we held the assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

        In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we earned interest income of $6.2 million and recognized net gains on investments totaling $10.0 million. Interest on our short term investments decreased due to redeployment of these investments into our targeted asset classes: mortgage loans and MBS.

        Interest income on our portfolio of MBS decreased primarily due to a decrease in yields of these securities from 6.32% to 3.86%, partially offset by an increase in our investment in such securities. Gains on MBS were the result of valuation changes as we did not sell any MBS during 2011 or 2010. Both the decrease in yield on MBS and appreciation in the securities' fair values were primarily due to increased demand for non-Agency MBS in the marketplace that is not presently being matched by increased securitization volumes. At March 31, 2011, our portfolio of MBS was comprised of currently cash flowing securities with an average yield of 4.78% and an estimated remaining life of approximately 0.91 years. We invest in MBS as a complement to our investments in mortgage loans and as a means of ensuring our compliance with REIT tax regulations governing our asset composition.

        In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recognized annualized interest of 4.70% on our portfolio of mortgage loans as measured by the portfolio's average fair value. At March 31, 2011, approximately 80% of our portfolio of mortgage loans was nonperforming. We do not accrue interest on nonperforming loans and generally do not recognize revenues during the period we hold real estate acquired in settlement of loans. We calculate the yield on our mortgage loan portfolio based on the portfolio's average fair value, which most closely reflects our investment in the mortgage loans. Accordingly, the yield we realize is substantially higher than would be recorded based on the loans' unpaid balances as we purchase our mortgage loans at substantial discounts to their unpaid principal balances.

        The revenue benefits of nonperforming loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans generally take longer to realize than those of performing loans due to the time required to work with borrowers to resolve payment issues through our modification programs and to acquire and liquidate the property securing the mortgage loans. The value and returns we realize from these assets are determined by our ability to cure the borrowers' defaults, or when curing of borrower defaults is not a viable solution, by our ability to effectively manage the liquidation process. During the first two months of the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we observed a slowdown in loan resolution activity, caused by a seasonal decline in housing sales, partially due to severe weather conditions across the country. At the beginning and end of the quarter, the weighted-average age of our inventory of real estate acquired in settlement of loans was 7.8 months and 9.2 months, respectively.

        As a participant in HAMP, we are required to comply with the process specified by the HAMP program before liquidating a loan, and this may extend the liquidation process. At March 31, 2011, we held $472.8 million in fair value of nonperforming loans and $31.3 million in carrying value of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

        Net gains on mortgage loans, including correspondent lending mortgage loans, are summarized below for the periods presented:

 
  2011   2010

Valuation changes

  $ 8,036   $ 1,133  

Payoffs

    1,391      

Sales

    988      
           

  $ 10,415   $ 1,133  
           

        The net gains on mortgage loans arising from valuation changes were due primarily to the changes in value of loans as the loans moved through the resolution process during the quarter and to reductions in the discount rates we use to estimate the fair value of certain of our mortgage loans.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we observed increasing demand for distressed mortgage assets as reflected in increased transaction prices. As a result of these observations the discount rates we use to estimate the fair value of certain of our mortgage loans was decreased to reflect our observations.

        The purchase price of mortgage loans that were resolved during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 (either through payoff, sale or liquidation of the collateral) was $26.4 million. The proceeds for the period from acquisition through the resolution event of such mortgage loans were $30.7 million. Proceeds include all principal, interest or sales-related amounts received from the loan or real estate acquired in settlement of the loan after its acquisition regardless of the period in which proceeds were received. This measure excludes other loan revenues, as well as expenses associated with the settled loans, and allocations of indirect costs or servicing costs related to management or resolution of the assets.

        Due to factors including the relative newness of these investments to us and the volatility of the market, we can provide no assurance that the cash received on settled mortgage loans is indicative of future cash receipts on our existing mortgage investments or on future investments in mortgage-related assets.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a gain of $62,000 on mortgage loans relating to our conduit activities. This gain included approximately $40,000 in fair value of MSRs received as part of the proceeds from our conduit loan sales. We also recorded net gains of $1.1 million in results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

        Increased expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010, reflect our growth. We began to incur interest expense during the third quarter of 2010 as we began using debt as a means of financing the growth of our investment portfolio. Loan servicing fees also grew substantially as our average investment in mortgage loans increased by over 600%; additionally, we began incurring activity-based fees relating to the liquidation of loans during 2011 that we did not incur due to the short period we held the loans through March 31, 2010. Compensation expense increased as the result of a grant of restricted share units to our officers and trustees as well as certain employees of PCM and its affiliates during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Professional services expense increased due to our heightened level of mortgage investment acquisition activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.


Investment Portfolio Composition

        Our portfolio of MBS is backed by non-Agency subprime, Alt-A and prime jumbo loans and consists of currently cash flowing senior priority securities with an average remaining life of approximately 0.91 years. We acquired these securities to supplement our investments in mortgage loans and to ensure compliance with the REIT tax regulations relating to our asset composition.

Cash Flows

        Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash of $34.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The negative cash flows arose primarily due to cash used by investing and operating activities exceeding cash provided by financing activities. Cash used by operating activities totaled $28.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This use of cash was primarily due to the cash requirements related to the growth in our operating balance sheet which tracked our overall growth. Cash used by operating activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 also reflects the effects of growth in our operating balance sheet accounts.

        Net cash used by investing activities was $247.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This use of cash reflects the growth of our investment portfolio. We purchased mortgage loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans with fair values of $243.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2011. This contrasts with cash provided by investing activities totaling $3.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. While we purchased $101.4 million in fair value of mortgage loans during that period, we effected those purchases by redeploying a portion of our short term investments.

        Approximately 70% of our investments (comprised of non-correspondent lending mortgage loans, MBS and real estate acquired in settlement of loans) were nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2011. Nonperforming assets include mortgage loans delinquent 90 or more days and real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Accordingly, we expect that these assets will require a longer period to begin producing cash flow and the timing and amount of cash flows from these assets is less certain than for performing assets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we transferred $14.2 million of mortgage loans to real estate acquired in settlement of loans and realized cash proceeds from the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans totaling $13.9 million.

Table of Contents

        Net cash provided by financing activities was $241.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. These funds were procured to finance the acquisition of additional mortgage loans. As discussed above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we were able to complete our acquisitions through the redeployment of our short term investments. Therefore, we did not procure cash flow to finance our investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continues to evaluate and pursue additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, repayments of maturities and margin calls relating to our debt), make investments as our Manager identifies them and make distributions to our shareholders. We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. These distribution requirements limit our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to become proceeds from earnings on our investments, proceeds from sales and repayments on our investments, and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. We believe our current liquidity is sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs.

        On February 16, 2011, we issued and sold 9,500,000 common shares in an underwritten public offering and received $163.8 million of proceeds, after the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses and the reimbursement of certain expenses. On March 3, 2011, we issued and sold an additional 1,425,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option by the public offering's underwriters and received $24.6 million of proceeds after the underwriting discount and reimbursement of certain expenses. We used proceeds from the issuance of these shares to fund a portion of the purchase price of portfolios of residential mortgage whole loans. We supplemented these offerings through utilization of our master repurchase agreements to finance nonperforming loans, including through an amendment to one of these agreements to increase the aggregate principal amount committed for borrowing thereunder from $125.0 million to $250.0 million.

        These sources of liquidity were used to finance acquisitions of $243.1 million of mortgage loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. PCM completed the purchase, on our behalf, of mortgage loans totaling $30.5 million after March 31, 2011, through the date of this Report. PCM has also committed to acquire, on our behalf, mortgage loans with purchase prices totaling approximately $133.6 million. The pending transactions are subject to changes in the loans allocated to us by PCM, continuing due diligence, customary closing conditions and our obtaining additional capital adequate to fund the transactions. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transactions will be completed at all.

        Our Manager continues to explore a variety of additional means of financing our continued growth, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, additional repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and additional equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful. Further, counterparty credit sensitivity and collateral documentation requirements have made it difficult to obtain financing for real estate acquired in settlement of loans, the result of which could place stress on our capital and liquidity positions at certain times during the foreclosure cycles of the related nonperforming loans.

        As of March 31, 2011, our debt financing consists of short-term borrowings in the form of the sale of securities and mortgage loans under agreements to repurchase and secured financings relating to real estate acquired in settlement of loans.

38


Table of Contents

        At March 31, 2011, we financed all of our MBS of $102.2 million, $486.6 million of mortgage loans, and $4.3 million of real estate acquired in settlement of loans, or approximately 82% of our investments in mortgage loans, MBS and real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Accordingly, repurchase agreements represent a significant source of funding for our investment portfolio.

        The amount we are able to borrow under our repurchase agreements is tied to the fair value of the MBS, mortgage loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans securing those agreements. We are subject to margin calls during the period the agreements are outstanding and therefore may be required to repay a portion of the borrowings before the respective agreements mature if the value of the MBS or mortgage loans securing those agreements decreases.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the average balance outstanding under agreements to repurchase MBS and mortgage loans were $95.3 million and $177.6 million, respectively, and the maximum daily amount outstanding under the agreements to repurchase MBS and mortgage loans were $101.2 million and $240.8 million, respectively. The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding was due to increasing utilization of the facilities during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 after their inception during the fourth quarter of 2010.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

        As of March 31, 2011, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees.

Contractual Obligations

        As of March 31, 2011, our on-balance sheet contractual obligations are limited to $308.4 million of agreements to repurchase loans and securities sold with maturities between April 6, 2011 and December 8, 2011. All agreements to repurchase that matured between March 31, 2011 and the date of this Report have been renewed and are described in Note 10—Loans Sold Under Agreements to

Table of Contents


Repurchase and Note 11—Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase in the accompanying financial statements.

        As of the date of this Report, PCM has committed to acquire, on our behalf, mortgage loans with purchase prices totaling approximately $133.6 million. The pending transactions are subject to changes in the loans allocated to us by PCM, continuing due diligence, customary closing conditions and our obtaining additional capital adequate to fund the transactions. There can be no assurance that the committed amounts will ultimately be acquired or that the transactions will be completed at all.

        Management Agreement.    Pursuant to the management agreement between PCM and us, we pay PCM a base management fee and a performance incentive fee, both payable quarterly and in arrears. The base management fee is calculated at the annual rate of 1.5% of shareholders' equity. "Shareholders' equity" is defined as the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of our equity securities since inception (weighted for the time outstanding during the measurement period); plus our retained earnings at the end of the quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense incurred in current or prior periods); less any amount we pay for repurchases of our common shares (weighted for the time held during the measurement period); excluding any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items that have impacted our shareholders' equity as reported in our financial statements, regardless of whether those items are included in other comprehensive income or loss or net income; and excluding one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between PCM and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees.

        The performance incentive fee is calculated at 20% per year of the amount by which "core earnings," on a rolling four-quarter basis and before the incentive fee, exceeds an 8% "hurdle rate." "Core earnings," for purposes of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee, is defined as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude non-cash equity compensation expense, unrealized gains and losses or other non-cash items recognized during the period, any conditional payment amounts relating to our IPO paid to PCM and the underwriters of our IPO, and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between PCM and our independent trustees and approval by a majority of our independent trustees. The "hurdle rate" is calculated as the product of (1) the weighted average of the issue price per share of all of our public offerings multiplied by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, restricted share units) in the four-quarter period and (2) 8%. During our first four quarters, core earnings were calculated based on the annualized results of each of the preceding quarters. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, to the extent we have a net loss in core earnings from a period prior to the rolling four-quarter period that has not been offset by core earnings in a subsequent period, such loss will continue to be included in the rolling four-quarter calculation until it has been fully offset. This term is not applicable for purposes of determining whether the conditional payment of the underwriting discount is payable.

        Under the management agreement, PCM is entitled to reimbursement of organizational and operating expenses, including third party expenses, incurred on our behalf. Our reimbursement obligation is not subject to any dollar limitation. Expenses are reimbursed in cash on a quarterly basis.

        Under the management agreement, PCM may be entitled to a termination fee under certain circumstances. Specifically, the termination fee is payable for (1) our termination of the management agreement without cause or (2) PCM's termination of the management agreement upon a default in the performance of any material term of the management agreement. The termination fee is equal to three times (a) the average annual base management fee and (b) the average annual (or, if the period is less than 24 months, annualized) incentive fee earned by PCM during the prior 24-month period before termination. Under circumstances where the termination fee is payable, we will agree to pay to PCM its portion of the conditional payment of the underwriting discount described below.

        Loan Servicing Agreement.    For its services under our loan servicing agreement, PLS is entitled to base servicing fees that are competitive with those charged by other servicers or specialty servicers, as applicable. Base servicing fees are calculated as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans, with the actual percentage being based on the risk characteristics of the loans in a particular pool. Such risk characteristics include market value of the underlying properties, creditworthiness of the borrowers, seasoning of the loans, degree of current and expected loan defaults, current loan-to-value ratios, borrowers' payment history and debt-to-income levels.

        The base servicing fees for nonperforming loans range from 30 to 100 basis points per year of the unpaid principal balance of such loans. PLS is also entitled to certain customary market-based fees and charges, including boarding and deboarding fees, liquidation and disposition fees, assumption, modification and origination fees and late charges, as well as interest on funds on deposit in custodial or escrow accounts.

        When PLS effects a refinancing of a loan on our behalf and not through a third party lender and the resulting loan is readily saleable, PLS is entitled to receive from us an origination fee of 1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of the loan plus $750. Similarly, when PLS originates a loan to facilitate the disposition of real estate that we acquire in settlement of a loan, PLS is entitled to a fee in the same amount.

        To the extent we participate in HAMP (or other similar mortgage loan modification programs), PLS is entitled to retain any incentive payments made to it and to which it is entitled under HAMP; provided, however, that with respect to any such incentive payments paid to PLS in connection with a mortgage loan modification for which we previously paid PLS a modification fee, PLS is required to reimburse us an amount equal to the lesser of such modification fee or such incentive payments.

        Under the loan servicing agreement, PLS is also entitled to reimbursement for all customary, reasonable and necessary out of pocket expenses incurred by PLS in connection with the performance of its servicing obligations.

        In connection with our correspondent lending business, PLS is entitled to base servicing fees, which range from 5 to 20 basis points per year of the unpaid principal balance of such loans, and other customary market-based fees and charges as described above. PLS also provides us with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for a fulfillment fee based on a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans. The fulfillment fee for such services is currently 50 basis points. Since November 1, 2010, we collected interest income and a sourcing fee of three basis points for each mortgage loan we buy from a correspondent and sell to PLS for ultimate disposition to a third party only where we are not approved or licensed to sell to such third party. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded fulfillment fees totaling $12,000.

        We paid servicing fees to PLS as described above and as provided in our loan servicing agreement, and recorded other expenses, including common overhead expenses incurred on our behalf by PCM and its affiliates in accordance with the terms of our management agreement.

        Conditional Payment of Underwriting Discount.    Certain of the underwriting costs incurred in our IPO were paid on our behalf by PCM and a portion of the underwriting discount was deferred by agreement with the underwriters of the offering. Reimbursement to PCM and payment to the underwriters of the deferred underwriting discount are both contingent on our performance as follows: we will reimburse PCM approximately $2.9 million of underwriting costs paid by PCM on the offering date and pay the underwriters approximately $5.9 million in deferred underwriting discount if, during any full four calendar quarter period during the 24 full calendar quarters after the date of the completion of our IPO, August 4, 2009, our "core earnings" for such four-quarter period and before the incentive portion of PCM's management fee equals or exceeds an 8% incentive fee "hurdle rate" (both defined above). If this requirement is not satisfied by the end of such 24 calendar quarter period,

41


Table of Contents


our obligation to reimburse PCM and make the conditional payment of the underwriting discount will terminate. We have concluded that this contingency is probable of being met during the 24-quarter period and have recognized a liability for reimbursement to PCM and payment of the contingent underwriting discount as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are real estate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk. A substantial portion of our investments are comprised of nonperforming loans. We believe that such assets' fair values respond primarily to changes in the fair value of the real estate securing such loans.

        The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our portfolio of mortgage loans as of the dates presented, given several hypothetical (instantaneous) changes in home values from those used in the determination of fair value:

        These sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate certain movements in real estate values as they relate to mortgage loans and interest rates as they relate to MBS; do not incorporate changes in interest rate volatility or changes in the relationship of one interest rate index to another; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used, including prepayment forecasts and discount rates; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        In response to this Item 3, the information set forth on page 42 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, no matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

        Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

        From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings, claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2011, we were not involved in any such legal proceedings, claims or actions that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 7, 2011, except as set forth below:

A recent IRS administrative pronouncement with respect to investments by REITs in distressed debt secured by both real and personal property, if interpreted adversely to us, could cause us to pay a tax penalty or potentially to lose our REIT status.

        Most of the mortgage loans that we acquire are acquired by us at a discount from their outstanding principal amount, because our pricing is based on the value of the underlying real estate that secures those mortgage loans.

        Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-5(c) (the "interest apportionment regulation") provides rules for determining what portion of the interest income from mortgage loans that are secured by both real and personal property is treated as "interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property." Under the interest apportionment regulation, if a mortgage covers both real property and other property, a REIT is required to apportion its annual interest income to the real property security based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the real property securing the loan, determined when the REIT commits to acquire the loan, and the denominator of which is the highest "principal amount" of the loan during the year. The Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, has recently issued a revenue procedure, Revenue Procedure 2011-16, that contains an example regarding the application of the interest apportionment regulation. The example interprets the "principal amount" of the loan to be the face amount of the loan, despite the Internal Revenue Code requiring taxpayers to treat any market discount, that is the difference between the purchase price of the loan and its face amount, for all purposes (other than certain withholding and information reporting purposes) as interest rather than principal.

        The interest apportionment regulation applies only if the debt in question is secured both by real property and personal property. We believe that all of the mortgage loans that we acquire are secured only by real property and no other property value is taken into account in our underwriting and pricing. Accordingly, we believe that the interest apportionment regulation does not apply to our portfolio.

        Nevertheless, if the IRS were to assert successfully that our mortgage loans were secured by property other than real estate, that the interest apportionment regulation applied for purposes of our REIT testing, and that the position taken in Revenue Procedure 2011-16 should be applied to our portfolio, then depending upon the value of the real property securing our loans and their face amount, and the sources of our gross income generally, we might not be able to meet the 75% REIT gross income test applicable to REITs. If we did not meet this test, we could potentially either lose our REIT status or be required to pay a tax penalty to the IRS.

        With respect to the 75% REIT asset test, Revenue Procedure 2011-16 provides a safe harbor under which the IRS will not challenge a REIT's treatment of a loan as being a real estate asset in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the real property securing the loan determined as of the date the REIT committed to acquire the loan or (2) the fair market value of the

loan on the date of the relevant quarterly REIT asset testing date. This safe harbor, if it applied to us, would help us comply with the REIT asset tests following the acquisition of distressed debt if the value of the real property securing the loan were to subsequently decline. However, if the value of the real property securing the loan were to increase, the safe harbor rule of Revenue Procedure 2011-16, read literally, could have the peculiar effect of causing the corresponding increase in the value of the loan to not be treated as a real estate asset. We do not believe, however, that this was the intended result in situations in which the value of a loan has increased because the value of the real property securing the loan has increased, or that this safe harbor rule applies to debt that is secured solely by real property. Nevertheless, if the IRS took the position that the safe harbor rule applied in these scenarios, then we might not be able to meet the various quarterly REIT asset tests if the value of the real estate securing our loans increased, and thus the value of our loans increased by a corresponding amount. If we did not meet one or more of these tests, then we could potentially either lose our REIT status or be required to pay a tax penalty to the IRS.
