(the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation primarily focused on investing in, financing and managing residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans. The Company conducts its business through IAS Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as its sole general partner. As of June 30, 2016, the Company owned 98.7% of the Operating Partnership, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco owned the remaining 1.3%. The Company has one operating segment.
The Company primarily invests in:
•
Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") that are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency such as the Government National Mortgage Association, or a federally chartered corporation such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") (collectively "Agency RMBS");
•
RMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. government agency (“non-Agency RMBS”);
•
Credit risk transfer securities that are unsecured obligations issued by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE CRT");
•
Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS");
•
Residential and commercial mortgage loans; and
•
Other real estate-related financing agreements.
The Company is externally managed and advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Manager"), a registered investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a leading independent global investment management firm. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the Company's taxable year ended December 31, 2009. To maintain the Company’s REIT qualification, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders annually. The Company operates its business in a manner that permits exclusion from the "Investment Company" definition under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Certain disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not required to be included on an interim basis in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company has condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. During the period from January 1, 2015 through December 9, 2015, the condensed consolidated financial statements also include the results of operations of certain residential loan securitization trusts (the "residential securitizations") that meet the definition of a VIE. On December 9, 2015, the Company completed the sale of certain beneficial interests in the residential securitizations and deconsolidated the residential securitizations.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company corrected errors in its accounting for premiums and discounts associated with non-Agency RMBS not of high credit quality. The Company concluded that the errors are immaterial to each of the annual and interim consolidated financial statements which were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and its interim report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company has corrected its financial statements for previous periods included in this filing on Form 10-Q and will correct its previously issued financial statements for these errors as the financial statements are presented in future periodic filings.
Refer to Note 17 - "Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements" for additional details.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of the fair values of financial instruments, interest income on mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities, allowance for loan losses and other-than-temporary impairment charges. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company's accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, other than the significant accounting policies disclosed below.
U.S. Treasury Securities
U.S. Treasury Securities are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value. The Company records its purchases of U.S. Treasury Securities on the trade date. Changes in fair value are recognized in gain (loss) on investments, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal balance of the securities and their contractual terms. Premiums are amortized into interest income over the contractual lives of the securities using a level yield method.
Interest Income Recognition
Mortgage-Backed Securities
Interest income on MBS is accrued based on the outstanding principal balance of the securities and their contractual terms. Premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
Interest income on the Company's non-Agency MBS (and other prepayable mortgage-backed securities where the Company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment) is based on estimated future cash flows. Management estimates future expected cash flows at the time of purchase and determines the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flows and the Company’s purchase price. Over the life of the investments, management updates these estimated future cash flows and computes a revised yield based on the current amortized cost of the investment. In estimating these future cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, including the rate and timing of principal payments (prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass through or coupon rate, and interest rate fluctuations. These uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may impact management’s estimates and the Company's interest income. When actual cash flows vary from expected cash flows, the difference is recorded as an adjustment to the amortized cost of the security and the security's yield is revised prospectively. Changes in cash flows from the Company's original or most recent projection may result in a prospective change in interest income recognized on these securities, or the amortized cost of these securities.
For Agency RMBS that cannot be prepaid in such a way that the Company would not recover substantially all of its initial investment, interest income recognition is based on contractual cash flows. The Company does not estimate prepayments in applying the effective interest method.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period reported amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or equity attributable to common stockholders.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the newly issued accounting guidance for presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the new standard, debt issuance costs are required to be presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The Company adopted the accounting standard on a retrospective basis, which required the restatement of the Company's December 31, 2015 balance sheet. The adoption resulted in a $5.4 million reduction in exchangeable senior notes and a corresponding reduction in other assets.
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the newly issued accounting guidance for reporting entities that are required to determine whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The Company adopted the accounting standard on a modified retrospective approach which did not require restatement of prior periods to conform to the post adoption presentation. The Company did not consolidate or deconsolidate any legal entities as a result of implementing the new guidance.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve certain aspects of classification and measurement of financial instruments, including significant revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, as well as available transition methods.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance on reporting credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, as well as available transition methods.

Subordination refers to the credit enhancement provided to the Re-REMIC tranche held by the Company by any junior Re-REMIC tranche or tranches in a resecuritization. This figure reflects the percentage of the balance of the underlying securities represented by any junior tranche or tranches at the time of resecuritization. Generally, principal losses on the underlying securities in excess of the subordination amount would result in principal losses on the Re-REMIC tranche held by the Company. 30.9% of the Company's Re-REMIC holdings are not senior tranches.

(1) Fair value includes unrealized losses on Agency IO of $8.3 million and unrealized losses on CMO of $1.9 million.
(2) Fair value includes unrealized losses on both the debt host contract and the embedded derivative.
Gross unrealized losses on the Company’s Agency RMBS and CMO were $8.5 million and $244,000, respectively, at June 30, 2016. Due to the inherent credit quality of Agency RMBS and CMO, the Company determined that at June 30, 2016, any unrealized losses on its Agency RMBS and CMO portfolio are not other than temporary.
Gross unrealized losses on the Company’s Agency IO, non-Agency RMBS, GSE CRT and CMBS were $27.4 million at June 30, 2016. The Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be credit related, but rather due to non-credit related factors such as interest rate spreads, prepayment speeds, and market fluctuations. These investment securities are included in the Company’s assessment for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis.

Table of Contents


The Company assesses its investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. When the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which impairment is assessed, the impairment is designated as either “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” This analysis includes a determination of estimated future cash flows through an evaluation of the characteristics of the underlying loans and the structural features of the investment. Underlying loan characteristics reviewed include, but are not limited to, delinquency status, loan-to-value ratios, borrower credit scores, occupancy status and geographic concentration.
The Company recorded $1.5 million and $7.2 million in other-than-temporary impairments ("OTTI") on RMBS interest-only securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As the Company had previously elected the fair value option for these interest-only securities, the OTTI was recorded as a reclassification from an unrealized to a realized loss within gain (loss) on investments, net reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not record any OTTI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company did not intend to sell the securities and determined that it was not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities.
The following table presents the changes in OTTI included in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The carrying value of exchangeable senior notes is $395.8 million and $394.6 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The carrying value is net of debt issuance costs of $4.2 million and $5.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements bear interest at a contractually agreed upon rate and have maturities ranging from one month to twelve months. Repurchase agreements are accounted for as secured borrowings since the Company maintains effective control of the financed assets. Under the repurchase agreements, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls. The Company intends to maintain a level of liquidity that will enable the Company to meet margin calls. In addition, the repurchase agreements are subject to certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2016.

(1) Represents amounts outstanding with nine counterparties.
The Company's repurchase agreement collateral ratio (Company MBS and GSE CRTs Held as Collateral/Amount Outstanding) was 111% as of June 30, 2016 ( December 31, 2015: 111%).
The Company was not required to post cash collateral (December 31, 2015: posted $710,000) with its repurchase agreement counterparties at June 30, 2016. Cash margin posted by the Company is classified as due from counterparties.
Secured Loans
The Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, IAS Services LLC is a member of the FHLBI. As a member of the FHLBI, IAS Services LLC may borrow funds from the FHLBI in the form of secured advances.
As of June 30, 2016, IAS Services LLC, had $1.65 billion in outstanding secured advances from the FHLBI. These secured advances have floating rates. Floating rates are based on the three-month FHLB swap rate plus a spread. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, IAS Services LLC had weighted average borrowings of $1.65 billion with a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.65% and a weighted average maturity of 7.85 years.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s ("FHFA") final rule governing Federal Home Loan Bank membership (the “FHFA Rule”) was effective on February 19, 2016. The FHFA Rule, among other provisions, excludes captive insurance companies from membership eligibility. The FHFA Rule permits existing captive insurance companies, such as IAS Services LLC, to remain members for a period of five years following the effective date of the FHFA Rule. New advances or renewals that mature beyond the five year period are prohibited. As permitted by the FHFA Rule, the FHLBI has indicated it will honor the contractual maturity dates of existing advances to IAS Services LLC that were made prior to the effective date of the final FHFA Rule and extend beyond the five year period. The Company does not expect there to be any impact to its existing FHLBI borrowings under the FHFA rule. The ability to borrow from the FHLBI is subject to the Company's continued creditworthiness, pledging of sufficient eligible collateral to secure advances, and compliance with certain agreements with FHLBI and FHFA rules.

Table of Contents


As of June 30, 2016, the FHLBI advances were collateralized by CMBS and Agency RMBS with a fair value of $1.4 billion and $563.5 million, respectively. The FHLBI retains the right to mark the underlying collateral for FHLBI advances to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require IAS Services LLC to provide additional collateral.
As discussed in Note 7 - "Other Assets," IAS Services LLC is required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLBI stock, which is based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of secured advances from the FHLBI.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company's repurchase agreements are usually settled on a short-term basis ranging from one to twelve months. At each settlement date, the Company typically refinances each repurchase agreement at the market interest rate at that time. In addition, the Company's secured loans have floating interest rates. As such, the Company is exposed to changing interest rates. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposures to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
Effective December 31, 2013, the Company voluntarily discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps to gain greater flexibility in managing interest rate exposures. Amounts recorded in AOCI prior to the Company discontinuing cash flow hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense on repurchase agreements on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as interest is accrued and paid on the related repurchase agreements over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreements. The Company reclassified $3.2 million (June 30, 2015: $16.3 million) and $16.2 million (June 30, 2015: $35.5 million) as an increase to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $23.7 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense, repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2016, $164.2 million (December 31, 2015: $148.3 million) of unrealized gain/(loss) on discontinued cash flow hedges, net is still included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s counterparties held $267.0 million in cash margin deposits and approximately $200.2 million in Agency RMBS as collateral against its interest rate swaps. Cash margin posted by the Company is classified as due from counterparties, and cash margin posted by counterparties that are restricted in use, if any, is classified as restricted cash. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any restricted cash. The Agency RMBS collateral posted by the Company is included in total mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash collateral that is not restricted for use by the Company is included in cash and cash equivalents and the liability to return the collateral is included in collateral held payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-cash collateral posted by counterparties to the Company would be recognized if any counterparty defaults or if the Company sold the pledged collateral. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company did not recognize any non-cash collateral held as collateral.

Interest Rate Swaptions
The Company has purchased interest rate swaptions to help mitigate the potential impact of increases or decreases in interest rates on the performance of a portion of the Company’s investment portfolio (referred to as “convexity risk”). The interest rate swaptions provide the Company the option to enter into interest rate swap agreements for a predetermined notional amount, stated term and pay and receive interest rates in the future. The premium paid for interest rate swaptions is reported as a derivative asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The premium is valued at an amount equal to the fair value of the swaption that would have the effect of closing the position adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. The difference between the premium and the fair value of the swaption is reported in gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. If an interest rate swaption expires unexercised, the loss on the interest rate swaption would be equal to the premium paid. If the Company sells or exercises an interest rate swaption, the realized gain or loss on the interest rate swaption would be equal to the difference between the cash or the fair value of the underlying interest rate swap received and the premium paid. As of June 30, 2016, we have no outstanding interest rate swaptions.
The Company did not record any realized or unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaptions in the three months ended June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015: $3.1 million of realized loss and $2.3 million of unrealized gain). The Company recorded $1.5 million of unrealized gain representing the change in fair value of the Company's interest rate swaptions and $1.5 million of realized loss on interest rate swaptions that expired unexercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015: $6.0 million of unrealized gain and $7.7 million of realized loss).
TBAs, Futures and Currency Forward Contracts
The Company purchases or sells certain TBAs and U.S. Treasury futures contracts to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the performance of the Company's portfolio. Realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with the purchase or sales of the TBAs and U.S. Treasury futures contracts are recognized in gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company uses currency forward contracts to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's investments denominated in foreign currencies. Realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with the purchases or sales of currency forward contracts are recognized in gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its bilateral derivative counterparties. Some of those agreements contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default whereby repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
At June 30, 2016, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk related to these agreements, was $182.4 million. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $200.2 million of Agency RMBS and $267.0 million of cash as of June 30, 2016. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value.
In addition, as of June 30, 2016, the Company has an agreement with a central clearing counterparty. The fair value of such derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk related to this agreement, was $270.4 million.
The Company was in compliance with all of the financial provisions of these counterparty agreements as of June 30, 2016.
Note 10 – Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
Certain of the Company's repurchase agreements and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of setoff under master netting arrangements (or similar agreements) in the event of default or in the event of bankruptcy of either party to the transactions. Assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements are presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following tables present information about the assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements (or similar agreements) and can potentially be offset on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A three-level valuation hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels are defined as follows:
•

For more detail about the fair value of the Company's MBS and GSE CRTs, refer to Note 4 - "Mortgage-Backed and Credit Risk Transfer Securities."
(2)
The Company's GSE CRTs purchased prior to August 24, 2015 are accounted for as hybrid financial instruments with an embedded derivative. The hybrid instruments consist of debt host contracts classified as Level 2 and embedded derivatives classified as Level 3. As of June 30, 2016, the net embedded derivative liability position of $6.5 million includes $5.8 million of embedded derivatives in an asset position and $12.3 million of embedded derivatives in a liability position. As of December 31, 2015, the net embedded derivative liability position of $25.7 million includes $1.0 million of embedded derivatives in an asset position and $26.7 million of embedded derivatives in a liability position.
(3)
Similar to the Company's MBS and GSE CRTs, the fair value of the Company's U.S. Treasury securities are based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing vendors.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair value measurements of the Company's GSE CRT embedded derivatives, which the Company has valued utilizing Level 3 inputs:

These significant unobservable inputs change according to market conditions and security performance. Prepayment rate and default rate are used to estimate the weighted-average life of GSE CRTs in order to identify GSE corporate debt with a similar maturity. Therefore, changes in prepayment rate and default rate do not have an explicit directional impact on the fair value measurement.

The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments.
•
The estimated fair value of commercial loans held-for-investment is a Level 3 fair value measurement. New commercial loans are carried at their unpaid principal balance until the end of the calendar year in which they were originated or purchased unless market factors indicate cost may not be a reliable indicator of fair value. Subsequent to the year of origination or purchase, commercial loan investments are valued on at least an annual basis by an independent third party valuation agent using a discounted cash flow technique.
•
The estimated fair value of FHLBI stock, included in "Other assets," is a Level 3 fair value measurement. FHLBI stock may only be sold back to the FHLBI at its discretion at cost. As a result, the cost of the FHLBI stock approximates its fair value. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of FHLBI stock is $74.3 million and $75.4 million, respectively.
•
The estimated fair value of investments in unconsolidated ventures, included in "Other assets," is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value measurement is based on the net asset value per share of the Company's investments. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of investments in unconsolidated ventures is $33.0 million and $38.4 million, respectively.
•
The estimated fair value of repurchase agreements is a Level 3 fair value measurement based on an expected present value technique. This method discounts future estimated cash flows using rates the Company determined best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for repurchase agreements with similar characteristics and credit quality.

Table of Contents


•
The estimated fair value of secured loans is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The secured loans have floating rates based on an index plus a spread and the spread is typically consistent with those demanded in the market. Accordingly, the interest rates on these secured loans are at market, and thus the carrying amount approximates fair value.
•
The estimated fair value of the exchangeable senior notes issued is a Level 2 fair value measurement based on valuation obtained from a third-party pricing service.
Note 12 – Related Party Transactions
The Company has invested $137.7 million and $47.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, in money market or mutual funds managed by affiliates of the Company’s Manager. The investments are reported as cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Management Fee
The Company pays its Manager a management fee equal to 1.50% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity per annum. The fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the management fee, stockholders’ equity is equal to the sum of the net proceeds from all issuances of equity securities since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance), plus retained earnings at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense incurred in current or prior periods), less any amount paid to repurchase common stock since inception. Stockholder's equity shall exclude (i) any unrealized gains, losses or other items that do not affect realized net income (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income); (ii) cumulative net realized losses that are not attributable to permanently impaired investments and that relate to the investments for which market movement is accounted for in other comprehensive income; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not exceed cumulative unrealized net gains in other comprehensive income; (iii) one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP; and (iv) certain non-cash items after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s independent directors and approval by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.
The Company does not pay any management fees on its investments in unconsolidated ventures that are managed by an affiliate of the Manager.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred management fees of $9.1 million (June 30, 2015: $9.3 million) of which $9.3 million (June 30, 2015: $9.2 million) was accrued but had not been paid to the Manager.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred management fees of $18.6 million (June 30, 2015: $18.8 million) of which $9.3 million (June 30, 2015: $9.2 million) was accrued but had not been paid to the Manager.
Expense Reimbursement
The Company is required to reimburse its Manager for Company operating expenses incurred on its behalf by the Manager, including directors and officers insurance, accounting services, auditing and tax services, filing fees, and miscellaneous general and administrative costs. The Company’s reimbursement obligation is not subject to any dollar limitation.
The following table summarizes the costs originally paid by the Manager, incurred on behalf of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The Company also pays the Manager a portion of the origination and commitment fees received from borrowers in connection with purchasing and originating commercial real estate loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred $189,000 (June 30, 2015: $653,000) of costs related to such transactions of which $2,000 (June 30, 2015: $280,000) was accrued but had not been paid to the Manager as of June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred $692,000 (June 30, 2015: $653,000) of costs related to such transactions of which $2,000 (June 30, 2015: $280,000) was accrued but had not been paid to the Manager.

Termination Fee
A termination fee is due to the Manager upon termination of the management agreement by the Company. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of the average annual management fee earned by the Manager during the 24-month period before termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.
Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
Holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 7.75% of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share or $1.9375 per share per annum. The dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.
Holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 7.75% of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share or $1.9375 per share per annum until December 27, 2024. After December 27, 2024, holders are entitled to receive dividends at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 5.18% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per annum. Dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.
The Company may elect to redeem shares of preferred stock at its option after July 26, 2017 (with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock) and after December 27, 2024 (with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock) for $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends through the date of the redemption. These shares are not redeemable, convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or any other securities of the Company prior to those times, except under circumstances intended to preserve the Company's qualification as a REIT or upon the occurrence of a change in control.
Common Stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 3,201 shares of common stock at an average price of $11.08 under its dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the "DRSPP"). The Company received total proceeds of approximately $35,000. Effective April 1, 2016, the Company terminated its DRSPP and replaced the DRSPP program with a direct stock purchase plan and dividend reinvestment program administered by an affiliate of its transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company.

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company voluntarily discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps to gain greater flexibility in managing interest rate exposures. Amounts recorded in AOCI prior to the Company discontinuing cash flow hedge accounting for its interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense on repurchase agreements on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as interest is accrued and paid on the related repurchase agreements over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreements.
Securities Convertible into Shares of Common Stock
The non-controlling interest holder of the Operating Partnership units, a wholly-owned Invesco subsidiary, has the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their operating partnership ("OP Units") for cash equal to the market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock, or at the Company’s option, the Company may purchase their OP Units by issuing one share of common stock for each OP Unit redeemed. The Company has also adopted an equity incentive plan which allows the Company to grant securities convertible into the Company’s common stock to its non-executive directors and employees of the Company's Manager and its affiliates.
Share Repurchase Program
In February 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized an additional share repurchase of up to 15,000,000 of its common shares with no expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased and

concurrently retired 2,063,451 shares of its common stock at an average repurchase price of $12.12 per share for a net cost of $25.0 million, including acquisition expenses. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had authority to purchase 18,239,082 additional shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program. The share repurchase program has no stated expiration date.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company has currently reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance to its non-executive directors and officers and employees of the Manger and its affiliates under the terms of its 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Unless terminated earlier, the Incentive Plan will terminate in 2019, but will continue to govern the unexpired awards.
The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $85,000 (June 30, 2015: $85,000) and approximately $170,000 (June 30, 2015: $170,000) related to the Company's non-executive directors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company issued 6,160 shares and 5,412 shares of stock, respectively, pursuant to the Incentive Plan to the Company’s non-executive directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company issued 13,908 shares and 10,744 shares of stock, respectively, pursuant to the Incentive Plan to the Company’s non-executive directors. The fair market value of the shares granted was determined by the closing stock market price on the date of the grant. The grants vested immediately.
The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $63,000 (June 30, 2015: $67,000) and $95,000 (June 30, 2015:$137,000) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to awards to employees of the Manager and its affiliates which is reimbursed by the Manager under the management agreement. At June 30, 2016 there was approximately $548,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to certain share-based compensation awards that is expected to be recognized over a period of up to 45 months, with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 20.6 months.

Note 15 – Non-controlling Interest - Operating Partnership
Non-controlling interest represents the aggregate Operating Partnership Units in the Company's Operating Partnership held by a wholly-owned Invesco subsidiary. Income allocated to the non-controlling interest is based on the Unit Holders’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. The ownership percentage is determined by dividing the number of OP Units held by the Unit Holders by the total number of dilutive shares of common stock. The issuance of common stock (“Share” or “Shares”) or OP Units changes the percentage ownership of both the Unit Holders and the holders of common stock. Since an OP unit is generally redeemable for cash or Shares at the option of the Company, it is deemed to be a Share equivalent. Therefore, such transactions are treated as capital transactions and result in an allocation between stockholders’ equity and non-controlling interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, non-controlling interest related to the outstanding 1,425,000 OP Units represented a 1.3% interest and 1.2% interest in the Operating Partnership, respectively.
The following table presents the net income (loss) allocated and distributions paid to the Operating Partnership non-controlling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and contingencies may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company's material off balance sheet commitments as of June 30, 2016 are discussed below.
As discussed in Note 7 - "Other Assets", the Company has invested in unconsolidated ventures that are sponsored by an affiliate of the Company’s Manager. The unconsolidated ventures are structured as partnerships, and the Company invests in the partnerships as a limited partner. The entities are structured such that capital commitments are to be drawn down over the life of the partnership as investment opportunities are identified. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s undrawn capital and purchase commitments were $18.9 million and $21.1 million, respectively.
As discussed in Note 5 - “Commercial Loans Held-for-Investment”, the Company purchases and originates commercial loans. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has unfunded commitments on commercial loans held-for-investment of $13.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
The Company has entered into agreements with financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations of its subsidiaries.  The Company would be required to perform under these guarantees in the event of certain defaults. The Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 17 – Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company corrected errors in its accounting for premiums and discounts associated with non-Agency RMBS not of high credit quality. Premiums and discounts are amortized and recorded as interest income in the Company's financial statements based on estimated future cash flows. The Company determined that the future cash flow assumptions used to develop its estimated premium amortization and discount accretion did not support its reported interest income. The Company revised its future cash flow estimates and also corrected its financial statements to account for the difference between actual and expected future cash flows as an adjustment to the amortized cost of the security and a prospective adjustment to the security's yield. The Company concluded that the errors are immaterial to each of the annual and interim consolidated financial statements which were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and its interim report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company has also concluded that the cumulative adjustment necessary to correct the errors would be material to the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  The Company has revised its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 presented in this Report on Form 10-Q and will revise its previously issued financial statements to correct these errors when the financial statements are presented in future periodic filings.

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation primarily focused on investing in, financing and managing residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and mortgage loans. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. To achieve this objective, we primarily invest in the following:
•
Residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) that are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") or a federally chartered corporation such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) (collectively "Agency RMBS");
•
RMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. government agency ("non-Agency RMBS");
•
Credit risk transfer securities that are unsecured obligations issued by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE CRT");

•
Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”); 
•
Residential and commercial mortgage loans; and
•
Other real estate-related financing arrangements.
We are externally managed and advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc., our Manager, a registered investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., a leading independent global investment management firm. We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2009. To maintain our REIT qualification, we are generally required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders annually. We operate our business in a manner that permits our exclusion from the definition of “Investment Company” under the 1940 Act, as amended.
Capital Activities
On June 15, 2016, we declared the following dividends:
•
a dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock to be paid on July 26, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 27, 2016;
•
a dividend of $0.4844 per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be paid on July 25, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 1, 2016; and
•
a dividend of $0.4844 per share of Series B Preferred Stock to be paid on September 27, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 5, 2016.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 2,063,451 shares of our common stock at an average repurchase price of $12.12 per share for a net cost of $25.0 million, including acquisition expenses.
Factors Impacting Our Operating Results
Our operating results can be affected by a number of factors and primarily depend on the level of our net interest income and the market value of our assets. Our net interest income, which includes the amortization of purchase premiums, reclassification of amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense and accretion of purchase discounts, varies primarily as a result of changes in market interest rates and prepayment speeds, as measured by the constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) on our target assets. Interest rates and prepayment speeds vary according to the type of investment, conditions in the financial markets, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. The market value of our assets can be impacted by asset spreads and the supply of, and demand for, target assets in which we invest.
Market Conditions
Macroeconomic factors that affect our business include credit spread premiums, market interest rates, governmental policy initiatives, residential and commercial real estate prices, credit availability, personal income, corporate earnings, employment conditions, financial conditions and inflation. The most noteworthy market event in the second quarter of 2016 was the U.K. referendum on leaving the European Union, also known as Brexit in the financial press. Global equity markets ended mixed as the Brexit vote increased market volatility toward the end of the second quarter. U.S. equity markets recovered at the end of the quarter with the S&P 500 generating a small positive return, but most global markets finished in negative territory. Financial conditions improved in the U.S. for most of the quarter until the Brexit vote took center stage. Energy prices continued to rally off the first quarter lows and credit spreads generally improved for most of the quarter. The Federal Reserve was widely anticipated to raise interest rates in June 2016 but signaled a more cautious approach following an unexpectedly weak May employment report, and given uncertainty regarding global financial risks in the wake of the U.K. vote. U.S. interest rates fell in the quarter as the European Central Bank ("ECB") and the Bank of Japan ("BOJ") implemented their bond buying programs, driving intermediate term interest rates more negative in several G10 countries. The resulting global demand for U.S. government bonds drove their rates to historically low levels.
The consensus of economists’ forecast for U.S. domestic economic activity stands at 1.9% for 2016. At the beginning of the year, economists expected real GDP growth of 2.5% for 2016. The consensus for the core personal consumption expenditures deflator has increased modestly to 1.7% for 2016, and stands at 1.8% for 2017, still shy of the 2% target communicated by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Economists have over-estimated core inflation in each of the past three years. Monthly increases in payroll employment averaged 147,000 jobs per month for the second quarter of 2016, down from an average of 204,000 additional jobs over the last twelve months. The consensus of economists expects monthly payrolls to increase by 172,000 jobs per month in 2016. Looking forward, the strong labor market coupled with low interest rates and

energy prices should be supportive of U.S. consumer spending. Countering that positive influence on the economy are weak capital investment and sluggish wage and consumer debt growth relative to previous economic expansions. The index of U.S. dollar exchange rates relative to a basket of major world currencies strengthened in the second quarter but remains lower year to date. In summary, it appears likely that the U.S. will experience another year of moderate economic growth, accompanied by core inflation that is below the Federal Reserve’s policy objective of 2%.
While U.S. interest rates have approached the lowest levels of the past three years, the environment remains broadly supportive for Agency RMBS. During the second quarter rates fell and the yield curve continued to flatten as the ten year Treasury note yield declined 27 basis points and the two year note yield declined ten basis points. We expect interest rates will likely remain low, as the Fed stays cautious, and aggressive quantitative easing by the ECB and BOJ should result in increased attractiveness of U.S. yields, which is a welcome environment for MBS investors. Further, continued tight residential mortgage loan underwriting standards restrict the ability of many homeowners to refinance, which reduces prepayment risk and is beneficial for MBS investors. We believe global uncertainty and low or even negative interest rates abroad will support demand for Agency RMBS due to the relatively attractive yield and the implicit U.S. government guarantee. Further, the Federal Reserve is likely to continue re-investing prepayments on their MBS portfolio for another year, as they have signaled the intent to continue until well into the rate normalization process. Fixed rate MBS broadly performed in line with equal duration U.S. Treasury notes and better than interest rate swaps, which widened during the second quarter bond market rally. Prepayment rates have increased but remain relatively benign despite the large year-to-date drop in interest rates. Primary mortgage rates charged to borrowers have not fallen nearly as much as RMBS rates in the secondary market rates. Non-agency CMBS, RMBS, and GSE CRT securities outperformed Treasuries in the second quarter reflecting generally easier financial conditions, and mirroring narrower spreads in other fixed income sectors such as investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, and emerging market bonds. Repurchase agreement financing rates on one-month Agency MBS were relatively steady in the second quarter relative to first quarter levels but increased slightly following the Brexit vote, the timing of which coincided with quarter end pressures.
The impact of regulatory initiatives on the economy may also affect our business and our financial results. The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in July 2010, contains numerous provisions affecting the financial and mortgage industries, many of which may affect our cost of doing business, may limit our investment opportunities and may affect the competitive balance within our industry and the markets in which we invest. For example, the Ability-to-Repay (“ATR”) rule requires lenders to make a reasonable, good-faith determination that residential borrowers have a reasonable ability to repay a mortgage loan. In addition to the ATR rule, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau adopted a Qualified Mortgage (“QM”) framework that provides certain legal protections to residential mortgage loan lenders, which includes restrictions on loan features, points and fees and borrower debt-to-income ratios. While we are not directly subject to compliance with the implementation of rules regarding the origination of residential mortgage loans, the impact of these regulations and others could affect our ability to securitize or invest in newly originated loans in the future.
In addition, the regulatory landscape for our repurchase agreement counterparties continues to evolve following the adoption of new capital rules which generally affects the manner in which banks lend. Regulators are also focused on liquidity requirements which will likely impact how banks fund themselves. While we are not directly subject to compliance with the implementation of rules regarding financial institutions, the effect of these regulations and others could affect our ability to finance our assets in the future.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s ("FHFA") final rule governing Federal Home Loan Bank membership (the “FHFA Rule”) was effective on February 19, 2016. The FHFA Rule, among other provisions, excludes captive insurance companies from membership eligibility. The FHFA Rule permits existing captive insurance companies, such as our captive insurance company subsidiary, IAS Services LLC (“IAS Services"), to remain members for a period of five years following the effective date of the FHFA Rule. New advances or renewals that mature beyond the five year period are prohibited. As permitted by the FHFA Rule, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLBI") has indicated it will honor the contractual maturity dates of existing advances to IAS Services that were made prior to the effective date of the final FHFA Rule and extend beyond the five year period. Notwithstanding the FHFA Rule, we do not expect there to be any impact to our existing FHLBI borrowings, and we do not expect that the FHFA Rule will have a material effect on our sources or costs of funding or our results of operations.
Investment Activities
In the second quarter of 2016, our investment portfolio remained positioned to take advantage of opportunities in both mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities and newly originated loans against a backdrop of broadly improving real estate markets.

Non-Agency RMBS, GSE CRT and Residential Loans are considered residential credit.
Over the past year and over the past six months our allocation of equity to Agency RMBS has increased to 40% and our allocation to residential credit has decreased to 25%. The shift reflects paydowns of residential credit securities and a lack of compelling investment opportunities in residential credit as compared to Agency RMBS.

During the first half of 2016, we primarily reinvested cash flows from sales and principal repayments into 15 year fixed-rate agency RMBS. We have been increasing our holdings of 15 year fixed-rate agency RMBS relative to 30 year fixed-rate agency RMBS to decrease our interest rate risk and further reduce book value volatility. As of June 30, 2016 our holdings of 15 year fixed-rate agency RMBS represent 16.0% of our total investment portfolio versus 8.3% of our total investment portfolio as of June 30, 2015. We have continued to hold certain 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS that have relatively short durations because they are collateralized by higher coupons.  We expect these securities to prepay more favorably than their applicable cohorts based on their seasoning and collateral attributes. Additionally, we hold 15 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS, Hybrid ARM Agency RMBS and ARM Agency RMBS that we believe have lower durations and better cash flow certainty relative to current coupon 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS. Further, we own Agency collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), some of which are interest-only securities.
Our portfolio of investments that have credit exposure include non-Agency RMBS, GSE CRTs, CMBS and commercial real estate loans. Rather than relying on the rating agencies, we utilize proprietary models as well as third party applications to quantify and monitor the credit risk associated with our portfolio holdings. Our analysis generally begins at the underlying asset level, where we gather detailed information on loan, borrower, and property characteristics that inform our expectations for future performance. In addition to base case cash flow projections, we perform a range of scenario stresses to gauge the sensitivity of returns to potential deviations in underlying asset behavior. We perform this detailed credit analysis at the time of initial purchase and regularly throughout the holding period of each investment.

With respect to our non-Agency RMBS portfolio, we primarily invest in RMBS collateralized by prime and Alt-A loans. In addition, we have invested in re-securitizations of real estate mortgage investment conduit ("Re-REMIC") RMBS and securitizations of reperforming mortgage loans that we believe provide attractive risk adjusted returns. We also invest in GSE CRTs, which have the added benefit of paying a floating rate coupon, reducing our need to hedge interest rate risk. Our GSE CRT holdings decreased modestly over the past six months as we tactically sold certain positions with lower expected returns and allocated capital to more favorable opportunities.  Nonetheless, we continue to view GSE CRT as an attractive asset class based on the strength of the U.S. housing market and potentially compelling relative value.
Our CMBS portfolio generally consists of assets originated before 2007 and assets originated after 2010 (“CMBS 2.0”). Over the past twelve months we have primarily invested in CMBS 2.0. The allocation of our CMBS holdings in our MBS and GSE CRT portfolio is approximately 17.5% as of June 30, 2016.
During the second quarter, we purchased $152.3 million of U.S. Treasury securities as part of our strategy to manage overall duration. We use various financial instruments, including swaps, futures and U.S. Treasury securities to keep duration within management's targeted range. Management determines the type of financial instrument best suited to manage duration based on various factors, including interest rate swap spreads, repurchase agreement borrowing rates, expected holding periods and transaction costs.
During the second quarter of 2016, we funded $13.0 million for one commercial real estate mezzanine loan that we originated in the first quarter of 2016. As of June 30, 2016, our commercial real estate loan portfolio includes ten mezzanine loans that we purchased or originated. For further details on our commercial loan portfolio, see Note 5 - "Commercial Loans Held-for-Investment" of our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we invested $1.5 million in our unconsolidated ventures.

Financing and Other Liabilities
We enter into repurchase agreements to finance the majority of our target assets. These agreements are secured by our Agency RMBS, non-Agency RMBS, GSE CRTs and CMBS. In addition, these agreements are generally settled on a short-term basis, usually from one to twelve months, and bear interest at rates that have historically moved in close relationship to LIBOR. At each settlement date, we typically refinance each repurchase agreement at the market interest rate at that time. As of June 30, 2016, we had entered into repurchase agreements totaling $11.8 billion (December 31, 2015: $12.1 billion). The decrease in our repurchase agreement balance over the past six months was primarily due to sales and paydowns of securities.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, IAS Services, is a member of the FHLBI. As a member of the FHLBI, IAS Services has borrowed funds from the FHLBI in the form of secured advances. As of June 30, 2016, IAS Services had $1.65 billion in outstanding secured advances. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, IAS Services had weighted average borrowings of $1.65 billion with a weighted average borrowing rate of 0.65% and a weighted average maturity of 7.85 years.
We have also committed to invest up to $125.4 million in unconsolidated ventures that are sponsored by an affiliate of our Manager. As of June 30, 2016, $106.5 million of our commitment to these unconsolidated ventures has been called. We are committed to fund $18.9 million in additional capital to fund future investments and cover future expenses should they occur.
We record a liability for mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities purchased, for which settlement has not taken place, as an investment related payable. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had investment related payables of $87.7 million, and $167,000, respectively. None of these investment related payables were outstanding more than thirty days. The change in balance was primarily due to an increase in unsettled MBS purchases as of June 30, 2016. We record a receivable for mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities sold for which settlement has not taken place as an investment related receivable. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had investment related receivables of $37.2 million and $154.6 million, respectively. None of these investment related receivables were outstanding more than thirty days.

As of June 30, 2016, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements designed to mitigate the effects of increases in interest rates under a portion of our borrowings. These swap agreements provide for fixed interest rates indexed off of one-month or three-month LIBOR and effectively fix the floating interest rates on $6.65 billion (June 30, 2015: $11.5 billion) of borrowings. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we terminated swaps with a notional amount of $4.8 billion and realized losses of $64.0 million. The terminated swaps were predominantly maturing in 2016 and offered little protection from rising rates. Additionally, our investment and repurchase agreement balances decreased due to asset sales to facilitate stock repurchases, further reducing our need for hedging. Our overall interest rate risk did not change materially as a result of the swap terminations.
As of June 30, 2016, we have no outstanding interest rate swaptions. As of June 30, 2015, we held $300.0 million in notional amount of fixed pay interest rate swaptions as an asset with a fair value of $0 and $300.0 million in notional amount of fixed receive interest rate swaptions as an asset with a fair value of $74,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 interest rate swaptions expired unexercised with a notional amount of approximately $300.0 million (June 30, 2015: $750.0 million), and the Company realized a loss of $1.5 million (June 30, 2015: $7.7 million) on these contracts. We purchase interest rate swaptions to reduce the impact that interest rate volatility has on our portfolio. The change in the notional amount of swaptions held was due to our views on the potential for change in volatility.
As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we have no outstanding futures contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we sold U.S. Treasury futures contracts of $248.3 million in notional amount and realized a net loss of $943,000. We periodically invest in U.S. Treasury futures contracts to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the performance of our portfolio.
As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we have no outstanding to-be-announced securities ("TBAs"). During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we settled TBAs of $446.0 million in notional amount and realized a net loss of $2.3 million. TBAs are contracts for which we agree to purchase or deliver in the future Agency RMBS with certain principal and interest terms. We periodically purchase or sell certain TBAs to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the performance of our portfolio.
As of June 30, 2016, we held $84.3 million (June 30, 2015: $68.8 million) in notional amount of currency forward contracts as an asset with a fair value of $5.5 million (June 30, 2015: $1.0 million) and a liability with a fair value of $106,000 (June 30, 2015: $1.4 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we settled currency forward contracts of $154.9 million (June 30, 2015: $63.4 million) in notional amount and realized a net gain of $1.9 million (June 30, 2015: $1.5 million). We use currency forward contracts to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our investments denominated in foreign currencies.
Book Value per Share
Our book value per diluted common share was $17.08 and $17.14 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Book value per diluted common share is calculated as total equity less the liquidation preference of our Series A Preferred Stock ($140.0 million) and Series B Preferred Stock ($155.0 million); divided by total common shares outstanding plus Operating Partnership Units convertible into shares of common stock (1,425,000 shares). The change in our book value per diluted common share as of June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 was a modest decrease of 0.4%.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that involve the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our

financial statements because they involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect our best judgment about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these financial statements. If conditions change from those expected, it is possible that the judgments and estimates described below could change, which may result in a change in valuation of our investment portfolio, future impairments of our MBS and GSE CRTs, change in our interest income recognition, allowance for loan losses, and a change in our tax liability among other effects.
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies that are disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Expected Impact of New Authoritative Guidance on Future Financial Information
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve certain aspects of classification and measurement of financial instruments, including significant revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. We are required to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements, as well as available transition methods.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance on reporting credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities. We are required to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, as well as available transition methods.

Net Income (Loss) Summary
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $11.6 million (June 30, 2015: $142.3 million net income) or $0.10 (June 30, 2015: $1.16 basic earnings and $1.06 diluted earnings) basic and diluted net loss per average share available to common stockholders. The change in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily attributable to realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $90.4 million in the 2016 period versus $56.0 million gain in the 2015 period. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the realized and unrealized loss on derivatives were driven by a drop in the market interest rates associated with our interest rate swap hedges.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $167.8 million (June 30, 2015: $128.5 million net income) or $1.49 (June 30, 2015: $1.04 basic earnings and $1.00 diluted earnings) basic and diluted net loss per average share available to common stockholders. The change in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 is primarily attributable to higher realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $328.9 million in the 2016 period versus $66.7 million in the 2015 period.
As a result of discontinuing hedge accounting, beginning January 1, 2014, changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements are recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, rather than in AOCI. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized an unrealized loss for the change in fair value of our interest rates swaps of $49.7 million (June 30, 2015: $116.6 million unrealized gain). For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized an unrealized loss for the change in fair value of our interest rates swaps of $216.4 million (June 30, 2015: $60.7 million unrealized gain). In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized reclassification of amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense, previously recognized in other comprehensive income of $3.2 million (June 30, 2015: $16.3 million) and $16.2 million (June 30, 2015: $35.5 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Our net income attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes interest income, interest expense of our residential securitizations. On December 9, 2015, we completed the sale of certain beneficial interests in our residential securitizations for $69.0 million (the "Transaction"). The securities sold included the most subordinated classes of asset-backed securities issued by the residential securitizations. As a result of the Transaction, we no longer have the power to direct the activities of the residential securitizations through default oversight rights and are therefore no longer the primary beneficiary of the residential securitizations. We deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of the residential securitizations as of the date of the Transaction. Our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 include the following interest income, interest expense and expenses of the residential securitizations:

 Average amounts for each period are based on weighted month-end balances.
(1)
Average earning asset yield for the period was calculated by dividing interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, by our average of the amortized cost of the investments. All yields are annualized.
(2)
GSE CRT average earning asset yield excludes coupon interest associated with embedded derivatives not accounted for under the fair value option recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net.
Our primary source of income is interest earned on our investment portfolio. We had average earning assets of approximately $15.5 billion (June 30, 2015: $20.6 billion) and earned interest income of $118.8 million (June 30, 2015: $163.2 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The yield on our average earning assets was 3.07% (June 30, 2015: 3.18%).
We had average earning assets of approximately $15.4 billion (June 30, 2015: $20.5 billion) and earned interest income of $245.9 million (June 30, 2015: $334.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The yield on our average earning assets was 3.18% (June 30, 2015: 3.27%).
Average earning assets and interest income declined during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to the deconsolidation of our residential loan securitizations in December 2015. We consolidated eleven residential loan securitizations as of June 30, 2015 with average assets of $3.5 billion that had an average earning asset yield of 3.48%. We recorded $30.2 million and $59.6 million of interest income on residential loans held by the consolidated securitizations in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Table of Contents


The yield on our average earning assets decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to a change in portfolio composition and lower available reinvestment yields. Over the last twelve months, we reinvested cash flows from our Agency portfolio into 15 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS as we believe these securities have lower durations and better cash flow certainty relative to current coupon 30 year fixed-rate Agency RMBS. We continue to evaluate our investment portfolio and make adjustments based on our views of the market opportunities. As of June 30, 2016, approximately 40% of our equity is allocated to Agency RMBS; 35% is allocated to investments in commercial credit and 25% is allocated to residential credit.
Prepayment Speeds
Our RMBS and GSE CRT portfolio is subject to inherent prepayment risk primarily driven by changes in interest rates, which impacts the amount of premium and discount on the purchase of these securities that is recognized into interest income. Expected future prepayment speeds on our RMBS and GSE CRT portfolio are estimated on a quarterly basis. Generally, in an environment of falling interest rates, prepayment speeds will increase as homeowners are more likely to prepay their existing mortgage and refinance into a lower borrowing rate. If the actual prepayment speed during the period is faster than estimated, the amortization on securities purchased at a premium to par value will be accelerated, resulting in lower interest income recognized. Conversely, for securities purchased at a discount to par value, interest income will be reduced in periods where prepayment speeds were slower than expected. The table below shows the three month constant prepayment rate for our RMBS and GSE CRT compared to bonds with similar characteristics (“Cohorts”):

Agency RMBS and CMBS average borrowing and cost of funds include borrowings under repurchase agreements and secured loans.
(2)
Amount represents the maximum borrowings at month-end during each of the respective periods.
(3)
Average cost of funds is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by our average borrowings.

Our largest expense is interest expense on borrowed funds. We had average borrowed funds of $13.5 billion (June 30, 2015: $18.3 billion) and total interest expense of $39.6 million (June 30, 2015: $70.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2016. We had average borrowed funds of $13.5 billion (June 30, 2015: $18.2 billion) and total interest expense of $89.7 million (June 30, 2015: $142.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Average borrowed funds and interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of our residential loan securitizations in December 2015 and repayment of repurchase agreement borrowings collateralizing mortgage backed securities due to paydowns of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We consolidated eleven residential loan securitizations as of June 30, 2015 with average borrowings of $3.0 billion and an average cost of funds of 2.96%. We recorded $22.3 million and $44.2 million of interest expense on asset-backed securities issued by the consolidated securitizations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company's cost of funds for borrowings to finance its mortgaged-backed securities rose during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to the impact of the December 2015 increase in the federal funds interest rate.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our cost of funds was 1.17% (June 30, 2015: 1.54%) and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, our cost of funds was 1.33% (June 30, 2015: 1.57%). Our lower cost of funds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 is due to the deconsolidation of our residential loan securitizations.
Net Interest Income
Our net interest income, which equals interest income less interest expense, totaled $79.2 million (June 30, 2015: $92.8 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $156.3 million (June 30, 2015: $192.1 million) for the six months ended

June 30, 2016. Our net interest rate margin, which equals the yield on our average assets for the period less the average cost of funds for the period, was 1.90% (June 30, 2015: 1.64%) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 1.85% (June 30, 2015: 1.70%) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of the reduction in our investment portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015. The increase in net interest rate margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to a decline in amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repositioned our hedging portfolio and terminated swaps with a notional amount of $4.8 billion.
Refer to the table in the “Interest Income and Average Earning Asset Yield” section above for changes in average portfolio balance and yields.
Provision for Loan Losses
We evaluate the collectibility of our commercial loans held-for investment using the factors described in Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We determined that no provision for loan losses for our commercial loans was required as of June 30, 2016.
Our provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was solely for residential loans held-for-investment by consolidated securitization trusts. We did not have a provision for loan losses as of June 30, 2016 because we deconsolidated our residential securitizations in December 2015.
Gain (Loss) on Investments, net
Gain (loss) on investments, net includes (i) gains and losses on sales of our investment portfolio; (ii) the change in fair value of RMBS IOs accounted for under the fair value option; (iii) the change in the fair value of GSE CRTs accounted for under the fair value option; (iv) the change in fair value of U.S. Treasury securities accounted for as trading securities; and (v) losses on other-than-temporarily impaired securities.
As part of our investment process, our mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities are continuously reviewed to determine if they continue to meet our risk and return targets. This process involves looking at changing market assumptions and the impact those assumptions will have on the individual securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we sold mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities and recognized a net gain of $1.0 million (June 30, 2015: $1.7 million) and a net gain of $11.6 million (June 30, 2015: $4.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
We account for RMBS IOs as hybrid financial instruments in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized a $1.3 million net gain (June 30, 2015: $9.2 million net gain) on RMBS IOs during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $7.9 million net gain (June 30, 2015: $8.4 million net gain) for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
We have elected the fair value option for GSE CRTs purchased on or after August 24, 2015. We recorded a $173,000 net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and a $237,000 net income six months ended June 30, 2016 for the for the changes in fair value of GSE CRTs accounted for under the fair value option.
We recorded $1.5 million and $7.2 million of losses on other-than-temporarily impaired interest-only securities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. We did not record any other-than-temporary impairments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Refer to Note 4 – “Mortgage-Backed and Credit Risk Transfer Securities” of our condensed consolidated financial statements for our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment on our investment securities.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Ventures
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures of $202,000 (June 30, 2015: $1.2 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures of $1.3 million (June 30, 2015: $7.2 million). Equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to higher realized gains and unrealized appreciation of underlying portfolio investments in the 2015 period.

Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, net
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our floating rate repurchase agreements and secured loans. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, U.S. Treasury futures contracts and TBAs as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. An interest rate swaption provides us the option to enter into an interest rate swap agreement for a predetermined notional amount, stated term and pay and receive interest rates in the future. The premium paid for interest rate swaptions is reported as an asset in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The premium is valued at an amount equal to the fair value of the swaption that would have the effect of closing the position adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. TBAs are reported on the balance sheet as an asset or liability at its fair value.
We also use currency forward contracts to help mitigate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our investments denominated in foreign currencies.

Other Investment Income (Loss), net
Other investment income (loss), net primarily consists of quarterly dividends from FHLBI stock and foreign exchange rate gains and losses related to a commercial loan investments denominated in a foreign currency.
Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred management fees of $9.1 million (June 30, 2015: $9.3 million) and $18.6 million (June 30, 2015: $18.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which are payable to our Manager under our management agreement. Management fees decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to the impact of share repurchases over the past twelve months. Since June 30, 2015, the Company has repurchased 11.6 million shares of common stock for a net cost of $150.6 million including acquisition expenses. Refer to Note 12 – “Related Party Transactions” of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our relationship with our Manager and description of how our fees are calculated.
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our general and administrative expenses not covered under our management agreement amounted to $1.9 million (June 30, 2015: $2.0 million) and $3.9 million (June 30, 2015: $3.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. General and administrative expenses not covered under our management agreement primarily consist of directors and officers insurance, legal costs, accounting, auditing and tax services, filing fees, organization expenses

associated with our consolidated securitization trusts and miscellaneous general and administrative costs. General and administrative costs increased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to costs associated with repositioning our hedging portfolio and purchasing new commercial loan investments in the first quarter of 2016.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, consolidated securitization trust expenses totaled $2.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Consolidated securitization trust expenses consisted of direct operating expenses incurred by consolidated residential loan securitizations. The Company deconsolidated its residential securitizations in December 2015.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, our net loss after preferred dividends was $11.7 million (June 30, 2015: $144.0 million net income) and our annualized loss on average equity was 2.30% (June 30, 2015: 23.44% annualized income). The change in net income (loss) after preferred dividends and return on average equity was primarily attributable to realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $90.4 million in the 2016 period versus realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments of $56.0 million in the 2015 period. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized an unrealized loss for the change in fair value of our interest rates swaps of $49.7 million (June 30, 2015: $116.6 million unrealized gain). In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized reclassification of amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense previously recognized in other comprehensive income of $3.2 million (June 30, 2015: $16.3 million).
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our net loss after preferred dividends was $169.7 million (June 30, 2015: $130.1 million net income) and our annualized loss on average equity was 17.10% (June 30, 2015: 10.60% annualized income). The change in net income (loss) after preferred dividends and return on average equity was primarily attributable to realized and unrealized losses on derivatives instruments of $328.9 million in the 2016 period versus $66.7 million in the 2015 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized an unrealized losses for the change in fair value of our interest rates swaps of $216.4 million (June 30, 2015: $60.7 million unrealized gain). In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized reclassification of amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense previously recognized in other comprehensive losses of $16.2 million (June 30, 2015: $35.5 million).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We are presenting the following non-GAAP financial measures: core earnings (and by calculation, core earnings per common share), effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield), effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds), effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin), and repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in our internal analysis of results and believes these measures are useful to investors for the reasons explained below. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are net income attributable to common stockholders (and by calculation, basic earnings (loss) per common share), total interest income (and by calculation, yield), total interest expense (and by calculation, cost of funds), net interest income (and by calculation, net interest rate margin) and debt-to-equity ratio.  Certain prior period U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures have been revised to correct immaterial errors in accounting for premiums and discounts on non-Agency RMBS not of high credit quality. For further information, see Note 17 of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements filed in Item 1. of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be made in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to these non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate.

Core Earnings
We calculate core earnings as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted for (gain) loss on investments, net; realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net (excluding contractual net interest on interest rate swaps); unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net; realized and unrealized change in fair value of GSE CRT embedded derivatives, net; (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, net; reclassification of amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense; and an adjustment attributable to non-controlling interest. We record changes in the valuation of our mortgage-backed securities, excluding securities for which we elected the fair value option and the valuation assigned to the debt host contract associated with our GSE CRTs in other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheets.
We believe the presentation of core earnings provides a consistent measure of operating performance by excluding the impact of gains and losses described above from operating results. We believe that providing transparency into core earnings enables our investors to consistently measure, evaluate and compare our operating performance to that of our peers over multiple reporting periods. However, we caution that core earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), or as an indication of our cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), a measure of our liquidity, or as an indication of amounts available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
The table below provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to core earnings for the following periods:

Core earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is equal to core earnings divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Core earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased from the same period in 2015 primarily due to the deconsolidation of the Company's residential securitizations in December 2015. The residential securitizations contributed $5.7 million and $11.0 million of core earnings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. In addition to the deconsolidation of residential securitizations, the Company also reduced it's overall portfolio balance, resulting in lower net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Our overall portfolio has reduced as we have reinvested available cash flows to fund share repurchases and reduce leverage.

Core earnings per share attributable to common stockholders reflects the impact of share repurchases over the past twelve months. Since June 30, 2015, we have repurchased 11.6 million shares of common stock at an average share price of $12.98 for a net cost of $150.6 million including acquisition expenses.

Effective Interest Income / Effective Yield/ Effective Interest Expense / Effective Cost of Funds / Effective Net Interest Income / Effective Interest Rate Margin
We calculate effective interest income (and by calculation, effective yield) as U.S. GAAP total interest income adjusted for GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net. We account for GSE CRTs purchased prior to August 24, 2015 as hybrid financial instruments, but we have elected the fair value option for GSE CRTs purchased on or after August 24, 2015. Under U.S. GAAP, coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for using the fair value option is recorded as interest income, whereas coupon interest on GSE CRTs accounted for as hybrid financial instruments is recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss). We add back GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest to our total interest income because we consider GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest a current component of our total interest income irrespective of whether we elected the fair value option for the GSE CRT or accounted for the GSE CRT as a hybrid financial instrument.
We calculate effective interest expense (and by calculation, effective cost of funds) as U.S. GAAP total interest expense adjusted for net interest paid on our interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments and the reclassification of amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense. We view our interest rate swaps as an economic hedge against increases in future market interest rates on our floating rate borrowings. We add back the net payments we make on our interest rate swap agreements to our total U.S. GAAP interest expense because we use interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense. We subtract amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense because we do not consider the amortization a current component of our borrowing costs.
We calculate effective net interest income (and by calculation, effective interest rate margin) as U.S. GAAP net interest income adjusted for net interest paid on our interest rate swaps that is recorded as gain (loss) on derivative instruments, the amortization of net deferred losses on de-designated interest rate swaps to repurchase agreements interest expense and GSE CRT embedded derivative coupon interest recorded as realized and unrealized credit derivative income (loss), net.
We believe the presentation of effective interest income, effective yield, effective interest expense, effective cost of funds, effective net interest income and effective interest rate margin measures, when considered together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding our borrowing costs and operating performance.

Our effective interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of our residential securitizations in December 2015. Interest income on residential loans totaled $30.2 million and $59.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
Our effective yield decreased primarily due to the change in portfolio composition and lower available reinvestment yields in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 versus the 2015 period.

Our effective interest expense and effective cost of funds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of our residential securitizations in December 2015 and a decrease in net interest paid on interest rate swaps. Interest expense on asset-backed securities issued by the residential securitizations totaled $22.3 million and $44.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Net interest paid on interest rate swaps decreased because we repositioned our hedging portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2016 in response to lower market expectations of an increase in the Federal funds interest rate later this year.

Effective net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $5.7 million and $17.2 million, respectively from the same period in 2015. The decrease in effective net interest income was primarily due to lower net interest income in 2016 driven by the deconsolidation of our residential securitizations in December 2015. Net interest income on our residential securitizations totaled $7.9 million and $15.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
The increase in effective interest rate margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 was primarily due to lower net interest paid on interest rate swaps in the 2016 period. Net interest paid on interest rate swaps decreased because we repositioned our hedging portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2016 in response to lower market expectations of an increase in the Federal funds interest rate later this year.

Repurchase Agreement Debt-to-Equity Ratio
The tables below show the allocation of our equity to our target assets, our debt-to-equity ratio, and our repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We present a repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure of leverage, because the mortgage REIT industry primarily uses repurchase agreements, which typically mature within one year, to finance investments. We believe that presenting our repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio, when considered together with U.S. GAAP financial measure of debt-to-equity ratio, provides information that is useful to investors in understanding our refinancing risks, and gives investors a comparable statistic to those other mortgage REITs who almost exclusively borrow using short-term repurchase agreements that are subject to refinancing risk.

Repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as the ratio of repurchase agreements to equity related to repurchase agreement debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to pay dividends, fund investments, repayment of borrowings and other general business needs. Our primary sources of funds for liquidity consist of the net proceeds from our common and preferred equity offerings, net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from repurchase agreements and other financing arrangements and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities.
We currently believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources available for the acquisition of additional investments, repayments on borrowings, margin requirements and the payment of cash dividends as required for continued qualification as a REIT. We generally maintain liquidity to pay down borrowings under repurchase arrangements to reduce borrowing costs and otherwise efficiently manage our long-term investment capital. Because the level of these borrowings can be adjusted on a daily basis, the level of cash and cash equivalents carried on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is significantly less important than our potential liquidity available under borrowing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that we will maintain sufficient levels of liquidity to meet any margin calls.
We held cash and cash equivalents of $144.1 million at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015: $87.0 million). Our cash and cash equivalents increased due to normal fluctuations in cash balances related to the timing of principal and interest payments, repayments of debt, and asset purchases and sales. Our operating activities provided net cash of approximately $161.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015: $187.5 million).

Our primary source of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was cash from investing activities. Our cash provided by investing increased by $626.9 million to $571.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. We generated $660.0 million from the sales of mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities and $1.1 billion from principal payments of mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $242.5 million from the sales of mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities and $1.3 billion from principal payments of mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities in the six months ended June 30, 2015. We invested $83.0 million in five new commercial loans and $1.1 billion in mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to investments of $1.4 billion in mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities, $372.3 million in residential loans held-for-investment, and $73.0 million in commercial loans in the six months ended June 30, 2015. We also used proceeds from sales and principal repayments to fund termination payments on derivative contracts of $62.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $33.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Our financing activities used net cash of $642.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to using $209.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. We primarily used cash during the six months ended June 30, 2016, to make net repayments of repurchase agreements of $357.4 million (June 30, 2015: $447.8 million). We also used cash to pay dividends of $102.7 million (June 30, 2015: $123.5 million) and repurchase 2,063,451 shares of common stock for $25.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
As of June 30, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, IAS Services, had $1.65 billion in outstanding secured advances from the FHLBI. As of June 30, 2016, the FHLBI advances were collateralized by CMBS and Agency RMBS with a fair value of $1.4 billion and $563.5 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016, the average margin requirement (weighted by borrowing amount), or the percentage amount by which the collateral value must exceed the loan amount, which we also refer to as the “haircut,” under our repurchase agreements was 4.8% for Agency RMBS, 20.1% for non-Agency RMBS, 25.6% for GSE CRT and 18.9% for CMBS. Across our repurchase agreement facilities, the haircuts range from a low of 3% to a high of 20% for Agency RMBS, a low of 10% to a high of 50% for non-Agency RMBS, a low of 25% to a high of 30% for GSE CRT, a low of 15% to a high of 25% for CMBS. Our effective cost of funds (non-GAAP measure) was 1.89% (June 30, 2015: 2.19%) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Declines in the value of our securities portfolio can trigger margin calls by our lenders under our repurchase agreements. An event of default or termination event would give some of our counterparties the option to terminate all repurchase transactions existing with us and require any amount due by us to the counterparties to be payable immediately.
Our total debt-to-equity ratio, which includes longer term financing, was 6.2x as of June 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015: 6.3x). We have continued to maintain a relatively stable debt-to-equity ratio and repurchase agreement debt-to-equity ratio over the last six months.
In December 2011, our board of directors approved a common stock share repurchase program. Shares of our common stock may be purchased in the open market, including through block purchases, or through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at our discretion and the program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.  The program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares, and all repurchases will be made in accordance with Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repurchased 2,063,451 shares of our common stock at an average repurchase price of $12.12 per share for a net cost of $25.0 million, including acquisition expenses. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had authority to purchase 18,239,082 additional shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program with no expiration date.
In 2011, we implemented our DRSPP. Until June 30, 2016, we had registered and reserved for issuance 15,000,000 shares of our common stock under the DRSPP. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued 3,201 shares of common stock (June 30, 2015: 7,756 shares) at an average price of $11.08 (June 30, 2015: $15.75) with total proceeds of approximately $35,000 (June 30, 2015: $122,000) under the DRSPP. No shares of common stock were issued under the waiver feature of the DRSPP.
Effective April 1, 2016, we replaced our DRSPP program with a direct stock purchase plan and dividend reinvestment program administered by an affiliate of our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company.

Effects of Margin Requirements, Leverage and Credit Spreads
Our securities have values that fluctuate according to market conditions and, as discussed above, the market value of our securities will decrease as prevailing interest rates or credit spreads increase. When the value of the securities pledged to secure a repurchase loan or a secured loan decreases to the point where the positive difference between the collateral value and the loan amount is less than the haircut, our lenders may issue a margin call, which means that the lender will require us to pay the margin call in cash or pledge additional collateral to meet that margin call. Under our repurchase facilities and secured loans, our lenders have full discretion to determine the value of the securities we pledge to them. Most of our lenders will value securities based on recent trades in the market. Lenders also issue margin calls as the published current principal balance factors change on the pool of mortgages underlying the securities pledged as collateral when scheduled and unscheduled paydowns are announced monthly.
We experience margin calls and increased collateral requirements in the ordinary course of our business. In seeking to effectively manage the margin requirements established by our lenders, we maintain a position of cash and unpledged securities. We refer to this position as our liquidity. The level of liquidity we have available to meet margin calls is directly affected by our leverage levels, our haircuts and the price changes on our securities. If interest rates increase as a result of a yield curve shift or for another reason or if credit spreads widen, then the prices of our collateral (and our unpledged assets that constitute our liquidity) will decline, we will experience margin calls, and we will use our liquidity to meet the margin calls. There can be no assurance that we will maintain sufficient levels of liquidity to meet any margin calls or increased collateral requirements. If our haircuts increase, our liquidity will proportionately decrease. In addition, if we increase our borrowings, our liquidity will decrease by the amount of additional haircut on the increased level of indebtedness.
We intend to maintain a level of liquidity in relation to our assets that enables us to meet reasonably anticipated margin calls and increased collateral requirements but that also allows us to be substantially invested in securities. We may misjudge the appropriate amount of our liquidity by maintaining excessive liquidity, which would lower our investment returns, or by maintaining insufficient liquidity, which would force us to liquidate assets into unfavorable market conditions and harm our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to financial covenants in connection with our lending, derivatives and other agreements we enter into in the normal course of our business. We intend to continue to operate in a manner which complies with all of our financial covenants. Our lending and derivative agreements provide that we may be declared in default of our obligations if our leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds and we fail to maintain stockholders’ equity or market value above certain thresholds over specified time periods.
Forward-Looking Statements Regarding Liquidity
Based upon our current portfolio, leverage rate and available borrowing arrangements, we believe that cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to enable us to meet anticipated short-term (one year or less) liquidity requirements to fund our investment activities, pay fees under our management agreement, fund our distributions to stockholders and for other general corporate expenses.
Our ability to meet our long-term (greater than one year) liquidity and capital resource requirements will be subject to obtaining additional debt financing. We may increase our capital resources by obtaining long-term credit facilities or through public or private offerings of equity or debt securities, possibly including classes of preferred stock, common stock, and senior or subordinated notes. Such financing will depend on market conditions for capital raises and our ability to invest such offering proceeds. If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on substantially similar terms, it may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Contractual Obligations
We have entered into an agreement with our Manager pursuant to which our Manager is entitled to receive a management fee and the reimbursement of certain expenses. The management fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 1.50% of our stockholders’ equity, per annum. Our Manager uses the proceeds from its management fee in part to pay compensation to its officers and personnel who, notwithstanding that certain of those individuals are also our officers, receive no cash compensation directly from us. We are required to reimburse our Manager for operating expenses related to us incurred by our Manager, including certain salary expenses and other expenses relating to legal, accounting, due diligence and other services. Expense reimbursements to our Manager are made in cash on a monthly basis following the end of each month. Our reimbursement obligation is not subject to any dollar limitation. Refer to Note 12 – “Related Party Transactions” of our condensed consolidated financial statements for details of our reimbursements to our Manager.

As of June 30, 2016, we have approximately $14.0 million, $40.0 million and $87.6 million in contractual interest payments related to our repurchase agreements, exchangeable senior notes and secured loans, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have committed to invest up to $125.4 million in unconsolidated ventures sponsored by an affiliate of our Manager. The unconsolidated ventures are structured as partnerships, and we invest in the partnerships as a limited partner. As of June 30, 2016, $106.5 million of our commitment has been called. We are committed to fund $18.9 million in additional capital to fund future investments and cover future expenses should they occur.
As of June 30, 2016, we have unfunded commitments on commercial loans of $13.9 million (December 31, 2015: $2.1 million).
Stockholders’ Equity
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued 3,201 shares (2015: 7,756 shares) of common stock at an average price of $11.08 (2015: $15.75) under the DRSPP with total proceeds to us of approximately $35,000 (2015: $122,000).
Share-Based Compensation
We have currently reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance to our independent directors and officers and employees of our Manger and its affiliates under the terms of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Unless terminated earlier, the Incentive Plan will terminate in 2019, but will continue to govern the unexpired awards.
We recognized compensation expense of approximately $85,000 (June 30, 2015: $85,000) and approximately $170,000 (June 30, 2015: $170,000) related to our non-executive directors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we issued 6,160 shares and 5,412 shares of stock, respectively, pursuant to the Incentive Plan to our non-executive directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we issued 13,908 shares and 10,744 shares of stock, respectively, pursuant to the Incentive Plan to our non-executive directors. The fair market value of the shares granted was determined by the closing stock market price on the date of the grant. The grants vested immediately.
We recognized compensation expense of approximately $63,000 (June 30, 2015: $67,000) and $95,000 (June 30, 2015:$137,000) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to awards to employees of our

The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing market price of our common stock at the grant date.
Dividends
We intend to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common stock and preferred stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our repurchase agreements and other debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions, or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities.
Inflation
Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to interest rates. As a result, interest rates and other factors influence our performance far more than inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates.
Unrelated Business Taxable Income
We have not engaged in transactions that would result in a portion of our income being treated as unrelated business taxable income.
Other Matters
We believe that we satisfied each of the asset tests in Section 856(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for the period ended June 30, 2016. We also believe that our revenue qualifies for the 75% source of income test and for the 95% source of income test rules for the period ended June 30, 2016. Consequently, we believe we met the REIT income and asset test as of June 30, 2016. We also met all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of our common stock and the distribution of dividends of our net income as of June 30, 2016. Therefore, as of June 30, 2016, we believe that we qualified as a REIT under the Code.
At all times, we intend to conduct our business so that neither we nor our Operating Partnership nor the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership are required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. If we were required to register as an investment company, then our use of leverage would be substantially reduced. Because we are a holding company that conducts our business through our Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership’s wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the securities issued by these subsidiaries that are excepted from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, together with any other investment securities the Operating Partnership may own, may not have a combined value in excess of 40% of the value of the Operating Partnership’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the 40% test. This requirement limits the types of businesses in which we are permitted to engage in through our subsidiaries. In addition, we believe neither we nor the Operating Partnership are considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act because they

do not engage primarily or hold themselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, through the Operating Partnership’s wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, we and the Operating Partnership are primarily engaged in the non-investment company businesses of these subsidiaries. IAS Asset I LLC and certain of the Operating Partnership’s other subsidiaries that we may form in the future rely upon the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” under the 1940 Act provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the 1940 Act, which is available for entities “primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate.” This exclusion generally requires that at least 55% of each subsidiary’s portfolio be comprised of qualifying assets and at least 80% be comprised of qualifying assets and real estate-related assets (and no more than 20% comprised of miscellaneous assets). We calculate that as of June 30, 2016, we conducted our business so as not to be regulated as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The primary components of our market risk are related to interest rate, principal prepayment and market value. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we believe the risk can be quantified from historical experience and we seek to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify taking those risks and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risks we undertake.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our investments and our repurchase agreements. Our repurchase agreements are typically of limited duration and will be periodically refinanced at current market rates. We mitigate this risk through utilization of derivative contracts, primarily interest rate swap agreements, TBAs and futures contracts.
Interest Rate Effect on Net Interest Income
Our operating results depend in large part upon differences between the yields earned on our investments and our cost of borrowing and interest rate hedging activities. Most of our repurchase agreements provide financing based on a floating rate of interest calculated on a fixed spread over LIBOR. The fixed spread will vary depending on the type of underlying asset which collateralizes the financing. Accordingly, the portion of our portfolio which consists of floating interest rate assets are match-funded utilizing our expected sources of short-term financing, while our fixed interest rate assets are not match-funded. During periods of rising interest rates, the borrowing costs associated with our investments tend to increase while the income earned on our fixed interest rate investments may remain substantially unchanged. This increase in borrowing costs results in the narrowing of the net interest spread between the related assets and borrowings and may even result in losses. Further, during this portion of the interest rate and credit cycles, defaults could increase and result in credit losses to us, which could adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. Such delinquencies or defaults could also have an adverse effect on the spread between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Hedging techniques are partly based on assumed levels of prepayments of our RMBS. If prepayments are slower or faster than assumed, the life of the RMBS will be longer or shorter, which would reduce the effectiveness of any hedging strategies we may use and may cause losses on such transactions. Hedging strategies involving the use of derivative securities are highly complex and may produce volatile returns.
Interest Rate Effects on Fair Value
Another component of interest rate risk is the effect that changes in interest rates will have on the market value of the assets that we acquire. We face the risk that the market value of our assets will increase or decrease at different rates than those of our liabilities, including our hedging instruments.
We primarily assess our interest rate risk by estimating the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Duration measures the market price volatility of financial instruments as interest rates change. We generally calculate duration using various financial models and empirical data. Different models and methodologies can produce different duration numbers for the same securities.
The impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change materially. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly in the event interest rates change materially. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, changes in actual interest rates may have a material adverse effect on us.
Prepayment Risk
As we receive prepayments of principal on our investments, premiums paid on these investments are amortized against interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates will accelerate the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the investments. Conversely, discounts on such investments are accreted into interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates will accelerate the accretion of purchase discounts, thereby increasing the interest income earned on the investments.

Table of Contents


Extension Risk
We compute the projected weighted average life of our investments based upon assumptions regarding the rate at which the borrowers will prepay the underlying mortgages. In general, when a fixed-rate or hybrid adjustable-rate security is acquired with borrowings, we may, but are not required to, enter into an interest rate swap agreement or other hedging instrument that effectively fixes our borrowing costs for a period close to the anticipated average life of the fixed-rate portion of the related assets. This strategy is designed to protect us from rising interest rates, because the borrowing costs are fixed for the duration of the fixed-rate portion of the related target asset.
However, if prepayment rates decrease in a rising interest rate environment, then the life of the fixed-rate portion of the related assets could extend beyond the term of the swap agreement or other hedging instrument. This could have a negative impact on our results from operations, as borrowing costs would no longer be fixed after the end of the hedging instrument, while the income earned on the hybrid adjustable-rate assets would remain fixed. This situation may also cause the market value of our hybrid adjustable-rate assets to decline, with little or no offsetting gain from the related hedging transactions. In extreme situations, we may be forced to sell assets to maintain adequate liquidity, which could cause us to incur losses.
Market Risk
Market Value Risk
Our available-for-sale securities are reflected at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income pursuant to ASC Topic 320. The estimated fair value of these securities fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates and other factors. Generally, in a rising interest rate environment, the estimated fair value of these securities would be expected to decrease; conversely, in a decreasing interest rate environment, the estimated fair value of these securities would be expected to increase.
The sensitivity analysis table presented below shows the estimated impact of an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve, up and down 50 and 100 basis points, on the market value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and net interest income, including net interest paid or received under interest rate swaps, at June 30, 2016, assuming a static portfolio. When evaluating the impact of changes in interest rates, prepayment assumptions and principal reinvestment rates are adjusted based on our Manager’s expectations. The analysis presented utilized assumptions, models and estimates of our Manager based on our Manager’s judgment and experience.

Certain assumptions have been made in connection with the calculation of the information set forth in the foregoing interest rate sensitivity table and, as such, there can be no assurance that assumed events will occur or that other events will not occur that would affect the outcomes. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at June 30, 2016. The analysis utilizes assumptions and estimates based on management’s judgment and experience. Furthermore, while we generally expect to retain such assets and the associated interest rate risk to maturity, future purchases and sales of assets could materially change our interest rate risk profile.
Given the low interest rates at June 30, 2016, we applied a floor of 0% for all anticipated interest rates included in our assumptions. Because of this floor, we anticipate that any hypothetical interest rate shock decrease would have a limited positive impact on our funding costs; however, because prepayment speeds are unaffected by this floor, we expect that any increase in our prepayment speeds (occurring as a result of any interest rate decrease or otherwise) could result in an acceleration of our premium amortization on Agency and interest-only securities purchased at a premium, and accretion of discount on our non-Agency RMBS purchased at a discount. As a result, because this floor limits the positive impact of any interest rate decrease on our funding costs, hypothetical interest rate decreases could cause the fair value of our financial instruments and our net interest income to decline.
The information set forth in the interest rate sensitivity table above and all related disclosures constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the foregoing interest rate sensitivity table.

Real Estate Risk
Residential and commercial property values are subject to volatility and may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions (such as the supply of housing stock); changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; and retroactive changes to building or similar codes. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay our loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.
Credit Risk
We believe that our investment strategy will generally keep our credit losses and financing costs low. However, we retain the risk of potential credit losses on all of our residential and commercial mortgage investments. We seek to manage this risk through our pre-acquisition due diligence process. In addition, we re-evaluate the credit risk inherent in our investments on a regular basis pursuant to fundamental considerations such as GDP, unemployment, interest rates, retail sales, store closings/openings, corporate earnings, housing inventory, affordability and regional home price trends. We also review key loan credit metrics including, but not limited to, payment status, current loan-to-value ratios, current borrower credit scores and debt yields. These characteristics assist in determining the likelihood and severity of loan loss as well as prepayment and extension expectations. We then perform structural analysis under multiple scenarios to establish likely cash flow profiles and credit enhancement levels relative to collateral performance projections. This analysis allows us to quantify our opinions of credit quality and fundamental value, which are key drivers of portfolio management decisions.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
We have an investment in a commercial loan denominated in foreign currency and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture whose net assets and results of operations are exposed to foreign currency translation risk when translated in U.S. dollars upon consolidation. We seek to hedge our foreign currency exposures by purchasing currency forward contracts.
Risk Management
To the extent consistent with maintaining our REIT qualification, we seek to manage risk exposure to protect our investment portfolio against the effects of major interest rate changes. We generally seek to manage this risk by:
•
monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, the reset index and interest rate related to our target assets and our financings;
•
attempting to structure our financing agreements to have a range of different maturities, terms, amortizations and interest rate adjustment periods;
•
using hedging instruments, primarily interest rate swap agreements but also financial futures, options, interest rate cap agreements, floors and forward sales to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of our target assets and our borrowings; and
•
actively managing, on an aggregate basis, the interest rate indices, interest rate adjustment periods, and gross reset margins of our target assets and the interest rate indices and adjustment periods of our financings.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that the required information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016. Based upon our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting    
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2016, we were not involved in any such legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS.
There were no material changes during the period covered by this Report to the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2016, other than the risk factor disclosed below. Additional risks not presently known, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has advised us that it identified an issue related to an independence requirement contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulations regarding auditor independence.
In May 2016, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) advised the Company that it had identified an issue related to its independence under Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (the “Loan Rule”) with respect to certain of PwC’s lenders who own certain Invesco registered funds managed by our Manager or certain other investment adviser affiliates of Invesco Ltd., our Manager's parent company. The Company and such funds are required to have their financial statements audited by a public accounting firm that qualifies as independent under various SEC rules. As discussed below, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has issued a “no-action” letter to another mutual fund complex under substantially similar circumstances that provides temporary relief for eighteen months from the date of the no-action letter issuance.
The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PwC, from having certain financial relationships with their audit clients and affiliated entities. Specifically, the Loan Rule provides, in relevant part, that an accounting firm is not independent if it receives a loan from a lender that is a “record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the audit client’s equity securities.” For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the Company, all of the registered investment companies advised by affiliates of Invesco Ltd., as well as Invesco Ltd. and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Invesco Fund Complex”) for which PwC also serves as independent auditor. PwC informed the Company it has relationships with lenders who hold, as record owner, more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Invesco Fund Complex. These relationships call into question PwC’s independence under the Loan Rule with respect to those funds, as well as the Company and all other funds in the Invesco Fund Complex.
On June 20, 2016, the SEC Staff issued a “no-action” letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to the audit independence issue described above. In that letter, the SEC Staff confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against an audit client that relied on audit services performed by an audit firm that was not in compliance with the Loan Rule in certain specified circumstances. The circumstances described in the no-action letter appear to be substantially similar to the circumstances that called into question PwC’s independence under the Loan Rule with respect to the Invesco Fund Complex, including the Company. The Company therefore believes that the Company can rely on the letter to continue to issue financial statements that are audited by PwC, and we intend to do so. The SEC Staff has indicated that the no-action relief will expire eighteen months from its issuance (i.e., on December 20, 2017). PwC has advised the Audit Committee that it is continuing to have discussions with the SEC Staff regarding permanent relief.
If in the future the independence of PwC is called into question under the Loan Rule by circumstances that are not addressed in the SEC Staff’s no-action letter or permanent relief regarding this matter is not granted by the SEC, the Company will need to take other action and incur additional costs in order for the Company’s filings with the SEC containing financial statements to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Such action may include obtaining the review and audit of the financial statements filed by the Company by another independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, under such circumstances the Company’s eligibility to issue securities under its existing registration statements on Form S-3 and Form S-8 may be impacted and certain financial reporting covenants with our counterparties may be impacted. A default under the Company’s financing agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
