TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Operations
Two Harbors Investment Corp., or the Company, is a Maryland corporation focused on investing in, financing and managing residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, residential mortgage loans, and other financial assets. The Company is externally managed and advised by PRCM Advisers LLC, or PRCM Advisers, which is a subsidiary of Pine River Capital Management L.P., or Pine River, a global multi-strategy asset management firm. The Company’s common stock is listed on the NYSE and its warrants are listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbols “TWO” and “TWO.WS,” respectively.
The Company was incorporated on May 21, 2009 and commenced operations as a publicly traded company on October 28, 2009, upon completion of a merger with Capitol Acquisition Corp., or Capitol, which became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary as a result of the merger.
The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its initial taxable period ended December 31, 2009. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income which will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. The Company has designated certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, as defined in the Code, to engage in such activities, and the Company may in the future form additional TRSs.
On December 19, 2012, the Company completed the contribution of its portfolio of single-family rental properties to Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp., or Silver Bay, a newly organized Maryland corporation intended to qualify as a REIT and focused on the acquisition, renovation, leasing and management of single-family residential properties for rental income and long-term capital appreciation. The Company contributed its equity interests in its wholly owned subsidiary, Two Harbors Property Investment LLC, to Silver Bay, and in exchange for its contribution, received shares of common stock of Silver Bay. Silver Bay completed its initial public offering, or IPO, of its common stock on December 19, 2012. Because the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in Two Harbors Property Investment LLC, all of the associated operating results were removed from continuing operations and are presented separately as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. See Note 4 - Discontinued Operations for additional information.
On April 30, 2013, one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries acquired a company that has seller-servicer approvals from the Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, and the Government National Mortgage Association, or Ginnie Mae, to hold and manage mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs. The MSRs acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of this entity and those subsequently purchased represent the right to service mortgage loans. The Company and its subsidiaries do not originate or directly service mortgage loans, and instead contract with fully licensed subservicers to handle all servicing functions for the loans underlying the Company’s MSRs. See Note 13 - Other Assets for additional information.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted according to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes, however, that the disclosures included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of the Company at September 30, 2013 and results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 should not be construed as indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make a number of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates include estimates of fair value of certain assets and liabilities, amount and timing of credit losses, prepayment rates, the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of real estate securities sufficient to recover unrealized losses in those securities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reported period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from its estimates and the differences may be material.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries; inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company’s investment in the common stock of Silver Bay was reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance, including voting control and variable interest entity, or VIE, models. The Company concluded that it did not have voting control of Silver Bay nor was Silver Bay considered a VIE and, therefore, consolidation of Silver Bay was not required.
The legal entities used in securitization (i.e., the securitization trusts), which are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes, were also reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. Because the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the securitization trusts that most significantly impact the entities’ performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant, the Company consolidates the trusts. The accounting is consistent with a secured financing, where the loans and securitized debt are both carried on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Significant Accounting Policies
Included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Provided below is a summary of additional accounting policies that are significant to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Securitization and Variable Interest Entities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from a securitization trust issued by a third party. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from a securitization trust sponsored by a subsidiary of the Company. The securitization trusts are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes and, thus, were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the securitization trusts that most significantly impact the entities’ performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant, the Company consolidates the trusts. The underlying loans are classified as mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts and the underlying debt is classified as collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest income on mortgage loans held-for-investment and interest expense on collateralized borrowings are recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 15 - Fair Value of these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details on fair value measurement.
Mortgage Loans Held-for-Investment in Securitization Trusts, at Fair Value
Mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts related to the Company's on-balance sheet securitizations are reported at fair value as a result of a fair value option election. These securitized mortgage loans are legally isolated from the Company and have been structured to be beyond the reach of creditors. Fair value is determined under the guidance of ASC 820. The Company determines the fair value of its mortgage loans held-for-investment in securitization trusts by type of loan and the determination is generally based on current secondary market pricing or cash flow models using market-based yield requirements. See Note 15 - Fair Value of these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details on fair value measurement.
Interest income on mortgage loans held-for-investment is recognized at the loan coupon rate. Loans are considered past due when they are 30 days past their contractual due date. Interest income recognition is suspended when mortgage loans are placed on nonaccrual status. Generally, mortgage loans are placed on nonaccrual status when delinquent for more than 60 days or when determined not to be probable of full collection. Interest accrued, but not collected, at the date mortgage loans are placed on nonaccrual is reversed and subsequently recognized only to the extent it is received in cash or until it qualifies for return to accrual status. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of loan principal, all cash received is applied to reduce the carrying value of such loans. Mortgage loans are restored to accrual status only when contractually current or the collection of future payments is reasonably assured.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Collateralized Borrowings in Securitization Trusts, at Fair Value
Collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts related to the Company's on-balance sheet securitizations are reported at fair value as a result of a fair value option election. This long-term debt is nonrecourse to the Company beyond the assets held in the trusts. Fair value is determined under the guidance of ASC 820. The Company determines the fair value of its collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts based on prices obtained from third-party pricing providers, broker quotes received and other applicable market data. See Note 15 - Fair Value of these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details on fair value measurement.
Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value
The Company’s MSRs represent the right to service mortgage loans. The Company and its subsidiaries do not originate or directly service mortgage loans, and instead contract with fully licensed subservicers to handle all servicing functions for the loans underlying the Company’s MSRs. However, as an owner and manager of MSRs, the Company may be obligated to fund advances of principal and interest payments due to third-party owners of the loans, but not yet received from the individual borrowers. These advances are reported as servicing advances within the other assets line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
MSRs are reported at fair value within the other assets line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of MSRs as well as servicing fee income are reported within other income on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The related subservicing expenses are recorded in other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
See Note 13 - Other Assets for further discussion on MSRs.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company adopted an equity incentive plan in 2009, which provides incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, including PRCM Advisers and its affiliates. The 2009 equity incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The 2009 equity incentive plan permits the granting of restricted shares of common stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards.
On May 21, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the restated 2009 equity incentive plan, which effectuated, among other changes, an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the restated 2009 equity incentive plan by 2,800,000 shares of common stock. Other amendments provide for the possibility of making grants of equity-based compensation to the Company’s executive officers and other key employees of the Company’s external manager, PRCM Advisers, upon a determination by the compensation committee, and the implementation of certain best practices of equity-based compensation.
The cost of equity-based compensation awarded to employees of our manager is determined using fair value liability accounting in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, or ASC 718, and amortized over the vesting term.
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
Certain of the Company’s repurchase agreements are governed by underlying agreements that provide for a right of setoff in the event of default of either party to the agreement. The Company also has netting arrangements in place with all derivative counterparties pursuant to standard documentation developed by the International Swap and Derivatives Association, or ISDA. Additionally, the Company and the counterparty are required to post cash collateral based upon the net underlying market value of the Company’s open positions with the counterparty.
Under GAAP, if the Company has a valid right of setoff, it may offset the related asset and liability and report the net amount. The Company presents repurchase agreements subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on a gross basis, and derivative assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements on a net basis, based on derivative type and counterparty, in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Separately, the Company presents cash collateral subject to such arrangements on a net basis, based on counterparty, in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company does not offset financial assets and liabilities with the associated cash collateral on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued and/or Adopted Accounting Standards
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2011-11, which amends ASC 210, Balance Sheet. The amendments in this ASU enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC 210, Balance Sheet or ASC 815, Other Presentation Matters or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to certain derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements. ASU 2013-01 is also effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adopting both ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations, but did impact financial statement disclosures.
Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The amendments are intended to make the presentation of items within Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) more prominent. ASU 2013-02 requires reclassification adjustments between OCI and net income to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. The new guidance does not change the requirement to present items of net income and OCI, and totals for net income, OCI and comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two consecutive statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Adopting this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations, but did impact financial statement disclosures.
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss, or NOL, carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. The ASU does not require any new recurring disclosures. It is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Adopting this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Note 3. Variable Interest Entities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from a securitization trust issued by a third party. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased subordinated debt and excess servicing rights from a securitization trust sponsored by a subsidiary of the Company. Both securitization trusts are considered VIEs for financial reporting purposes and, thus, were reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. Since the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the securitization trusts that most significantly impact the entities’ performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant, the Company consolidates the trusts. As the Company is required to reassess VIE consolidation guidance each quarter, new facts and circumstances may change the Company’s determination. This could result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements during subsequent reporting periods.
The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of the securitization trusts:

Note 4. Discontinued Operations
On December 19, 2012, the Company completed the contribution of its equity interests in its wholly owned subsidiary, Two Harbors Property Investment LLC, to Silver Bay. Two Harbors Property Investment LLC previously held the Company’s portfolio of single-family rental properties. Because the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in Two Harbors Property Investment LLC, all of the associated operating results were removed from continuing operations and are presented separately as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations are presented below.

In addition to the gain on contribution of entity that was recorded in 2012 in connection with the closing of the contribution, certain adjustments were agreed to be recognized in 2013. These include an installment sales gain of approximately $4.0 million from Silver Bay, a reduction of 2013 management fees payable to PRCM Advisers of $4.3 million, and an immaterial amount of additional working capital adjustments determined in accordance with the contribution agreement entered into with Silver Bay. Of these amounts, $0.9 million and $3.2 million of the installment sales gain was recorded as a gain on contribution of entity within discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and the full $4.3 million of the reduction of 2013 management fees payable to PRCM Advisers was recorded within management fees, on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The remaining $0.1 million recorded within discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to accrual adjustments for transaction expenses related to the contribution.

TWO HARBORS INVESTMENT CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
When the Company purchases a credit-sensitive AFS security at a significant discount to its face value, the Company often does not amortize into income a significant portion of this discount that the Company is entitled to earn because it does not expect to collect it due to the inherent credit risk of the security. The Company may also record an other-than-temporary impairment, or OTTI, for a portion of its investment in the security to the extent the Company believes that the amortized cost will exceed the present value of expected future cash flows. The amount of principal that the Company does not amortize into income is designated as a credit reserve on the security, with unamortized net discounts or premiums amortized into income over time to the extent realizable.
The following table presents the changes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, of the unamortized net discount and designated credit reserves on non-Agency AFS securities.

Evaluating AFS Securities for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
In order to evaluate AFS securities for OTTI, the Company determines whether there has been a significant adverse quarterly change in the cash flow expectations for a security. The Company compares the amortized cost of each security in an unrealized loss position against the present value of expected future cash flows of the security. The Company also considers whether there has been a significant adverse change in the regulatory and/or economic environment as part of this analysis. If the amortized cost of the security is greater than the present value of expected future cash flows using the original yield as the

discount rate, an other-than-temporary credit impairment has occurred. If the Company does not intend to sell and is not more likely than not required to sell the security, the credit loss is recognized in earnings and the balance of the unrealized loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. If the Company intends to sell the security or will be more likely than not required to sell the security, the full unrealized loss is recognized in earnings.
The Company recorded a $1.7 million other-than-temporary credit impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 on a total of four non-Agency RMBS where the future expected cash flows for each security was less than its amortized cost. No OTTI was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, impaired securities had weighted average cumulative losses of 7.8%, weighted average three-month prepayment speed of 4.3%, weighted average 60+ day delinquency of 34.5% of the pool balance, and weighted average FICO score of 629. At September 30, 2013, 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, therefore, only the projected credit loss was recognized in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a $0.6 million and an $9.3 million other-than-temporary credit impairment on a total of 31 non-Agency RMBS where the future expected cash flows for each security was less than its amortized cost.
The following table presents the changes in OTTI included in earnings for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Cumulative credit losses related to OTTI may be reduced for securities sold as well as for securities that mature, pay down, or are prepaid such that the outstanding principal balance is reduced to zero. Additionally, increases in cash flows expected to be collected over the remaining life of the security cause a reduction in the cumulative credit loss.
Gross Realized Gains and Losses
Gains and losses from the sale of AFS securities are recorded as realized gains (losses) within (loss) gain on investment securities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold AFS securities for $3.1 billion and $4.1 billion with an amortized cost of $3.3 billion and $4.2 billion, for net realized losses of $234.5 million and $163.2 million, respectively.

Note 6. Trading Securities, at Fair Value
The Company holds U.S. Treasuries in a taxable REIT subsidiary and classifies these securities as trading instruments due to short-term investment objectives. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company held U.S. Treasuries with an amortized cost of $995.8 million and a fair value of $1.0 billion for both periods classified as trading securities. The unrealized gains included within trading securities were $4.9 million and $5.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold trading securities for $1.0 billion with an amortized cost of $997.9 million, resulting in realized gains of $3.1 million on the sale of these securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, trading securities experienced change in unrealized gains of $1.4 million and change in unrealized losses of $0.2 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2013, the Company pledged trading securities with a carrying value of $1.0 billion as collateral for repurchase agreements. See Note 16 - Repurchase Agreements.
Note 7. Equity Securities, at Fair Value
At December 31, 2012, equity securities consisted of shares of Silver Bay common stock carried at fair value as a result of a fair value option election. In exchange for the contribution of the Company’s equity interests in its wholly owned subsidiary, Two Harbors Property Investment LLC, to Silver Bay on December 19, 2012, the Company received 17,824,647 shares of common stock, or 47.7%, of Silver Bay at the initial public offering price of $18.50. The initial carrying value of the Company’s equity securities was $329.8 million and the carrying value as of December 31, 2012 was $335.6 million, which included $5.9 million in unrealized gains.
On March 18, 2013, the Company declared a special dividend pursuant to which the 17,824,647 shares of Silver Bay common stock would be distributed, on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s stockholders of record at the close of business on April 2, 2013. The dividend was paid on or about April 24, 2013. As a result, the Company recognized $13.7 million of realized gains on distribution as well as $5.9 million of change in unrealized losses within (loss) gain on investment securities on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Because the shares were distributed to the Company’s stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, equity securities are no longer recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013.

Note 12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company enters into a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments in connection with its risk management activities. The Company’s primary objective for executing these derivative and non-derivative instruments is to mitigate the Company’s economic exposure to future events that are outside its control. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are utilized principally to manage market risk and cash flow volatility associated with interest rate risk (including associated prepayment risk) related to certain assets and liabilities. As part of its risk management activities, the Company may, at times, enter into various forward contracts, including short securities, Agency to-be-announced securities, or TBAs, options, futures, swaps, caps and credit default swaps. In executing on the Company’s current risk management strategy, the Company has entered into interest rate swap and swaption agreements and credit default swaps. The Company has also entered into a number of non-derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk, principally U.S. Treasuries and Agency interest-only securities.
At times, the Company may use TBAs for risk management purposes, or as a means of deploying capital until targeted investments are available and to take advantage of temporary displacements in the marketplace. TBAs are forward contracts for the purchase (long notional positions) or sale (short notional positions) of Agency RMBS. The issuer, coupon and stated maturity of the Agency RMBS is predetermined as well as the trade price, face amount and future settle date (published each month by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association); however, the specific Agency RMBS to be delivered upon settlement is not known at the time of the TBA transaction. As a result, and since physical delivery of the Agency RMBS upon settlement cannot be assured, the Company accounts for TBAs as derivative instruments.
The following summarizes the Company’s significant asset and liability classes, the risk exposure for these classes, and the Company’s risk management activities used to mitigate certain of these risks. The discussion includes both derivative and non-derivative instruments used as part of these risk management activities. While the Company uses non-derivative and derivative instruments to achieve the Company’s risk management activities, it is possible that these instruments will not effectively mitigate all or a substantial portion of the Company’s market rate risk. In addition, the Company might elect, at times, not to enter into certain hedging arrangements in order to maintain compliance with REIT requirements.

The following table summarizes the location and amount of gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income on its derivative instruments:
