(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)
Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, net is recorded in receivables and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(C)
Represents an option, not an obligation, to repurchase loans from Drive Shack Inc.’s subprime mortgage loan securitizations (Note 6).
(D)
Represents derivative assets and liabilities including interest rate swaps and TBA forward contracts (Note 9).
(E)
Drive Shack Inc. notes that the unrealized gain on the liabilities within such structures cannot be fully realized. Assets held within CDOs and other non- recourse structures are generally not available to satisfy obligations outside of such financings, except to the extent Drive Shack Inc. 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 Drive Shack Inc. Therefore, Drive Shack Inc.’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 Drive Shack Inc.’s net investments in these non-recourse financing structures is equal to the present value of their expected future net cash flows.
