(the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation primarily focused on investing in, financing and managing residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans. The Company conducts its business through IAS Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as its sole general partner. As of June 30, 2016, the Company owned 98.7% of the Operating Partnership, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco owned the remaining 1.3%. The Company has one operating segment.
The Company primarily invests in:
•
Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") that are guaranteed by a U.S. government agency such as the Government National Mortgage Association, or a federally chartered corporation such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") (collectively "Agency RMBS");
•
RMBS that are not guaranteed by a U.S. government agency (“non-Agency RMBS”);
•
Credit risk transfer securities that are unsecured obligations issued by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE CRT");
•
Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS");
•
Residential and commercial mortgage loans; and
•
Other real estate-related financing agreements.
The Company is externally managed and advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Manager"), a registered investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a leading independent global investment management firm. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the Company's taxable year ended December 31, 2009. To maintain the Company’s REIT qualification, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders annually. The Company operates its business in a manner that permits exclusion from the "Investment Company" definition under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Certain disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not required to be included on an interim basis in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company has condensed or omitted these disclosures. Therefore, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. During the period from January 1, 2015 through December 9, 2015, the condensed consolidated financial statements also include the results of operations of certain residential loan securitization trusts (the "residential securitizations") that meet the definition of a VIE. On December 9, 2015, the Company completed the sale of certain beneficial interests in the residential securitizations and deconsolidated the residential securitizations.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company corrected errors in its accounting for premiums and discounts associated with non-Agency RMBS not of high credit quality. The Company concluded that the errors are immaterial to each of the annual and interim consolidated financial statements which were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and its interim report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company has corrected its financial statements for previous periods included in this filing on Form 10-Q and will correct its previously issued financial statements for these errors as the financial statements are presented in future periodic filings.
Refer to Note 17 - "Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements" for additional details.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Examples of estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of the fair values of financial instruments, interest income on mortgage-backed and credit risk transfer securities, allowance for loan losses and other-than-temporary impairment charges. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company's accounting policies included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, other than the significant accounting policies disclosed below.
U.S. Treasury Securities
U.S. Treasury Securities are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value. The Company records its purchases of U.S. Treasury Securities on the trade date. Changes in fair value are recognized in gain (loss) on investments, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is accrued based on the outstanding principal balance of the securities and their contractual terms. Premiums are amortized into interest income over the contractual lives of the securities using a level yield method.
Interest Income Recognition
Mortgage-Backed Securities
Interest income on MBS is accrued based on the outstanding principal balance of the securities and their contractual terms. Premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
Interest income on the Company's non-Agency MBS (and other prepayable mortgage-backed securities where the Company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment) is based on estimated future cash flows. Management estimates future expected cash flows at the time of purchase and determines the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flows and the Company’s purchase price. Over the life of the investments, management updates these estimated future cash flows and computes a revised yield based on the current amortized cost of the investment. In estimating these future cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, including the rate and timing of principal payments (prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass through or coupon rate, and interest rate fluctuations. These uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may impact management’s estimates and the Company's interest income. When actual cash flows vary from expected cash flows, the difference is recorded as an adjustment to the amortized cost of the security and the security's yield is revised prospectively. Changes in cash flows from the Company's original or most recent projection may result in a prospective change in interest income recognized on these securities, or the amortized cost of these securities.
For Agency RMBS that cannot be prepaid in such a way that the Company would not recover substantially all of its initial investment, interest income recognition is based on contractual cash flows. The Company does not estimate prepayments in applying the effective interest method.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period reported amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or equity attributable to common stockholders.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the newly issued accounting guidance for presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the new standard, debt issuance costs are required to be presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The Company adopted the accounting standard on a retrospective basis, which required the restatement of the Company's December 31, 2015 balance sheet. The adoption resulted in a $5.4 million reduction in exchangeable senior notes and a corresponding reduction in other assets.
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the newly issued accounting guidance for reporting entities that are required to determine whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The Company adopted the accounting standard on a modified retrospective approach which did not require restatement of prior periods to conform to the post adoption presentation. The Company did not consolidate or deconsolidate any legal entities as a result of implementing the new guidance.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance to improve certain aspects of classification and measurement of financial instruments, including significant revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, as well as available transition methods.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance on reporting credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities. The Company is required to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements, as well as available transition methods.

Subordination refers to the credit enhancement provided to the Re-REMIC tranche held by the Company by any junior Re-REMIC tranche or tranches in a resecuritization. This figure reflects the percentage of the balance of the underlying securities represented by any junior tranche or tranches at the time of resecuritization. Generally, principal losses on the underlying securities in excess of the subordination amount would result in principal losses on the Re-REMIC tranche held by the Company. 30.9% of the Company's Re-REMIC holdings are not senior tranches.

(1) Fair value includes unrealized losses on Agency IO of $8.3 million and unrealized losses on CMO of $1.9 million.
(2) Fair value includes unrealized losses on both the debt host contract and the embedded derivative.
Gross unrealized losses on the Company’s Agency RMBS and CMO were $8.5 million and $244,000, respectively, at June 30, 2016. Due to the inherent credit quality of Agency RMBS and CMO, the Company determined that at June 30, 2016, any unrealized losses on its Agency RMBS and CMO portfolio are not other than temporary.
Gross unrealized losses on the Company’s Agency IO, non-Agency RMBS, GSE CRT and CMBS were $27.4 million at June 30, 2016. The Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be credit related, but rather due to non-credit related factors such as interest rate spreads, prepayment speeds, and market fluctuations. These investment securities are included in the Company’s assessment for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis.

Table of Contents


The Company assesses its investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. When the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which impairment is assessed, the impairment is designated as either “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” This analysis includes a determination of estimated future cash flows through an evaluation of the characteristics of the underlying loans and the structural features of the investment. Underlying loan characteristics reviewed include, but are not limited to, delinquency status, loan-to-value ratios, borrower credit scores, occupancy status and geographic concentration.
The Company recorded $1.5 million and $7.2 million in other-than-temporary impairments ("OTTI") on RMBS interest-only securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As the Company had previously elected the fair value option for these interest-only securities, the OTTI was recorded as a reclassification from an unrealized to a realized loss within gain (loss) on investments, net reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not record any OTTI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, 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.
The following table presents the changes in OTTI included in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
