MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“Our quarterly results reflect the ongoing challenges of interest rate volatility and fluctuating asset values, which were particularly magnified in the first quarter given the rapid raise in interest rates that occurred,” said Bonnie Wongtrakool, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Credit spreads widened across most of our holdings over the quarter, putting pressure on our GAAP book value per share, which declined 14.7% from the prior quarter, while economic book value per share declined 7.3%. In addition, our financial results were negatively impacted by lower net interest income and continued elevated prepayments on our residential whole loan portfolio. Consequently, our distributable earnings of $379,000, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter, were down $529,000 from the fourth quarter.”
“Against these market challenges, we worked proactively to strengthen our balance sheet in the first quarter. In February, we realized a gain of $8.7 million on the sale of the unencumbered hotel property that we and other investors acquired last year through foreclosure. We used the proceeds from the sale to reinvest into our target assets and to repurchase $3.4 million aggregate principal amount of our existing 2022 Notes at a weighted average premium to par value of 0.8%. We are confident that we have sufficient liquidity and the appropriate level of recourse leverage in order to continue executing on our investment strategy,” Ms. Wongtrakool concluded.
Greg Handler, Chief Investment Officer of the Company, added, “We continued to reposition our portfolio in the first quarter, adding both non-qualified residential mortgages and non-Agency RMBS to our portfolio as spreads widened during the quarter. While the first quarter was difficult, we believe that as we redeploy capital, the earnings power of the portfolio will improve. We continue to work diligently on reaching positive resolutions on our challenged investments as well as positioning the remainder of our portfolio for potential future appreciation, which we believe will enhance value for the benefit of our shareholders.”

The Company’s Commercial Loans and Non-Agency CMBS portfolios are performing according to expectations under the current market conditions. The Company believes there is a reasonable likelihood that many of the delinquent loans that serve as collateral for the Non-Agency CMBS will return to performing status in the coming months as the economy continues to reopen. However, there is no assurance that this will be the case.

Non-Performing Commercial Loan
The impact of COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which our commercial loan borrowers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to us, most significantly retail and hospitality assets. All but the one loan discussed below remain current.
CRE 3 Loan
As of March 31, 2022, the CRE 3 junior mezzanine loan with an outstanding principal balance of $90.0 million secured by a retail facility was non-performing and past its maturity date of June 29, 2021. We were receiving interest payments on this loan from a reserve that was exhausted in May 2021. We are currently in discussions with the borrower and certain other lenders regarding alternatives to address the situation which might include modifications of loan terms, deferral of payments and the funding of new advances. There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in an outcome in which we would be repaid any amount of the loan and we may suffer further declines in fair value with respect to the mezzanine investment. We could experience a total loss of our investment under various scenarios, which at current levels would result in a $27.1 million reduction in the Company’s book value. Refer to Note 6 – “Commercial Loans” for details.
Commercial Real Estate Owned
In February 2022, we and the other investors sold the unencumbered hotel property for $55.9 million which was foreclosed on in the third quarter of 2021. We and the other investors fully recovered our aggregate initial investment of $42.0 million. We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $12.2 million of which the Company’s share of the gain on sale of the property was approximately $8.7 million.

Class X-1 and X-2 are interest-only classes with notional balances of $652.1 million and $733.5 million as of March 31, 2022, respectively. |
The above table does not reflect the portion of the Class F bond held by the Company because the bond is eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s ownership interest in the Class F bonds represents a controlling financial interest, which resulted in consolidation of the trust. The bond had a fair market value of $11.0 million at March 31, 2022. The securitized debt of the CSMC USA can only be settled with the commercial loan with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022, that serves as collateral for the securitized debt and is non-recourse to the Company.
