(1) We are required under GAAP to consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain securitization entities we have sponsored for financial reporting purposes. However, the securitized assets of these entities are not legally ours and we own only the securities and interests that we acquired from these securitization entities. Similarly, the liabilities of these entities are obligations payable only from the cash flow generated by their securitized assets and are not obligations of Redwood. |
|||||||||
(2) Included in the "At Redwood" column are the assets and liabilities of the Residential Resecuritization and Commercial Securitization transactions we completed in 2011 and 2012, respectively. These transactions are treated as secured borrowings under GAAP. At March 31, 2014, the Residential Resecuritization accounted for $257 million of assets ($256 million of available-for-sale securities at fair value and $1 million of other assets) and $82 million of asset-backed securities issued (at amortized cost). Our $175 million investment in this resecuritization, as estimated for GAAP, equals the difference between these assets and liabilities. At March 31, 2014, the Commercial Securitization accounted for $262 million of assets ($257 million of commercial real estate loans at historical cost and $5 million of other assets) and $148 million of asset-backed securities issued (at amortized cost). Our $114 million investment in this securitization, as estimated for GAAP, equals the difference between these assets and liabilities. |
