*Measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
|
|
|
(A)
|
Methods are listed in order of priority. In the case of real estate securities and real estate related and other loans, broker quotations are obtained if available and practicable, otherwise counterparty quotations or pricing service valuations are obtained or, finally, internal pricing models are used. Internal pricing models are only used for (i) securities and loans that are not traded in an active market, and, therefore, have little or no price transparency, and for which significant unobservable inputs must be used in estimating fair value, or (ii) loans or debt obligations which are private and untraded.
|
|
|
|
(B)
|
The weighted average yield and weighted average funding cost are disclosed for financial instrument assets and liabilities, respectively.
|
|
|
|
(C)
|
Excludes nine CDO securities with a zero value, which had an aggregate face amount of $116.1 million.
|
|
|
|
(D)
|
These two items results from an option, not an obligation, to repurchase loans from Newcastle’s subprime mortgage loan securitizations (Note 6), are noneconomic until such option is exercised, and are equal and offsetting.
|
|
|
|
(E)
|
As of June 30, 2014, all derivative liabilities, which represent three interest rate swaps, were held within Newcastle’s nonrecourse structures. An aggregate notional balance of $242.3 million is only subject to the credit risks of the respective CDO structures. As they are senior to all the debt obligations of the respective CDOs and the fair value of each of the CDOs’ total investments exceeded the fair value of each of the CDOs’ derivative liabilities, no credit valuation adjustments were recorded. Newcastle’s interest rate swap counterparties include Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon. Newcastle’s derivatives are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Newcastle notes that the unrealized gain on the liabilities within such structures cannot be fully realized. Assets held within CDOs and other nonrecourse structures are generally not available to satisfy obligations outside of such financings, except to the extent Newcastle receives net cash flow distributions from such structures. Furthermore, creditors or beneficial interest holders of these structures have no recourse to the general credit of Newcastle. Therefore, Newcastle’s exposure to the economic losses from such structures is limited to its invested equity in them and economically their book value cannot be less than zero. As a result, the fair value of Newcastle’s net investments in these non-recourse financing structures is equal to the present value of their expected future net cash flows.

Management generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from at least two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold us the security). Management selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if Newcastle receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because management believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes Newcastle receives. Management believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would generally not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on Newcastle’s own fair value analysis using internal models, management selects one of the quotes which are believed to more accurately reflect fair value. Newcastle never adjusts quotes received. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” – meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to actually purchase the security at the quoted price.

|
|
|
(D)
|
Management was unable to obtain quotations from more than one source on these securities. The one source was generally the seller (the party that sold us the security) or a pricing service.

At June 30, 2014, there was no ABS or CMBS fair value based on model mark assumptions.
All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on Newcastle’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. Collateral prepayment, default and loss severity projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary for each monthly collateral cash flow projection. Methods used to develop these projections vary by asset class (e.g., CMBS projections are developed differently than home equity ABS projections) but conform to industry conventions. Newcastle uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows of each respective security.
The
prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to voluntarily pay off at each point in
the future. The prepayment vector is based on projections from a widely published investment bank model which considers factors
such as collateral FICO score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, and vintage on a loan level basis. This vector is scaled
up or down to match recent collateral-specific prepayment experience, as obtained from remittance reports and market data services.
Loss
severities are based on recent collateral-specific experience with additional consideration given to collateral characteristics.
Collateral age is taken into consideration because severities tend to initially increase with collateral age before eventually
stabilizing. Newcastle typically uses projected severities that are higher than the historic experience for collateral that is
relatively new to account for this effect. Collateral characteristics such as loan size, lien position, and location (state) also
effect loss severity. Newcastle considers whether a collateral pool has experienced a significant change in its composition with
respect to these factors when assigning severity projections.
Default
rates are determined from the current “pipeline” of loans that are more than 90 days delinquent, in foreclosure, or
are REO. These significantly delinquent loans determine the first 24 months of the default vector. Beyond month 24, the default
vector transitions to a steady-state value that is generally equal to or greater than that given by the widely published investment
bank model.
The
discount rates Newcastle uses are derived from a range of observable pricing on securities backed by similar collateral and offered
in a live market. As the markets in which Newcastle transacts have become less liquid, Newcastle has had to rely on fewer data
points in this analysis.
