The following summary provides disclosure of the material transactions with affiliates of the Company.
In accordance with the Management Agreement with PRCM Advisers, the Company incurred $12.6 million and $21.7 million as a management fee to PRCM Advisers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which represents approximately 1.5% of stockholders' equity on an annualized basis as defined by the Management Agreement. However, these fees were reduced by $40,000 and $4.3 million, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 in accordance with the contribution transaction entered into with Silver Bay. See further discussion of this adjustment below. In addition, the Company reimbursed PRCM Advisers for direct and allocated costs incurred by PRCM Advisers on behalf of the Company. These direct and allocated costs totaled approximately $2.5 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
In April 2012, the Company established an accounts payable function and direct relationships with the majority of its third party vendors. The Company will continue to have certain costs allocated to it by PRCM Advisers for compensation, data services and proprietary technology, but most direct expenses with third party vendors are paid directly by the Company.
The Company recognized $975,331 and $998,768 of compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, related to restricted stock. See Note 19 - Equity Incentive Plan for additional information.
On February 3, 2012, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an acquisition services agreement, a property management agreement and a side letter agreement regarding certain fees with Silver Bay Property Management LLC, which is a joint venture between Provident Real Estate Advisors LLC and an affiliate of PRCM Advisers and Pine River. Under the acquisition services agreement, Silver Bay Property Management assisted the Company's subsidiaries in identifying and acquiring a portfolio of residential real properties in various geographic areas throughout the U.S. Under the property management agreement, Silver Bay Property Management operated, maintained, repaired, managed and leased the residential properties and collected rental income for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the side letter, the Company's subsidiary was obligated to pay Silver Bay Property Management for various services provided under the acquisition services and property management agreements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred $1.0 million in acquisition fees to Silver Bay Property Management which were capitalized as part of the property acquisition cost. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred $43,114 in property management fees related to Silver Bay Property Management, of which $6,114 were expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. The remaining $37,000 were deferred on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 and amortized over the lease period. These agreements were terminated on December 19, 2012 in connection with the contribution of the Company's single family rental property business to Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp., as described below.
On December 19, 2012, the Company completed the contribution of its portfolio of single family rental properties to Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp., 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 Realty Trust Corp., and in exchange for its contribution, received shares of common stock of Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. completed its initial public offering, or IPO, of its common stock on December 19, 2012. See Note 4 - Discontinued Operations for additional information. In connection with the closing of the contribution, the acquisition services agreement, property management agreement and side letter agreement referenced above were each terminated, except for certain designated provisions (e.g., protection of confidential information and indemnification), which the parties agreed would survive the termination. Not included in the gain that was recorded on the contribution in 2012 are certain adjustments to be recognized in 2013. These include an installment sales gain of approximately $4.0 million from Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp., 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 Realty Trust Corp. Of these amounts, $1.0 million and $2.3 million of the installment sales gain was recorded in gain on contribution of entity within discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 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 (loss) income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
