CMBS TRUST

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

On October 27, 2022, the Company purchased all of the Class D certificates and certain interest-only certificates of CMBS securities through the CMBS Trust sponsored by Freddie Mac for a purchase price of approximately $30,855. The securities issued by the CMBS Trust are secured by mortgages on multifamily properties totaling approximately $1,220,000 of outstanding principal balance as of December 31, 2022. The Company consolidates the entire CMBS Trust as it determined the CMBS Trust is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. However, the amount of the CMBS Trust's assets and liabilities can only be satisfied through the cash flows from the underlying loans which are managed and disbursed directly to the other certificate holders by the administrator of the securitization pool. Accordingly, the Company does not have any rights to those receivables nor any obligation to those other certificate holders.

The Company elected the fair-value measurement alternative under GAAP and thus carries the CMBS Trust's assets and liabilities at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. The net amount of such consolidated assets and consolidated liabilities represents the Company's actual investment. The Company recognizes changes in the CMBS Trust's net assets, including changes in fair-value adjustments and net interest earned, in its consolidated statement of operations. With respect to the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows, the full gross amount of cash interest received from the CMBS Trust net of the full gross amount of cash interest paid to the other certificate holders of the CMBS Trust is contained within the cash flows from operating activities. In addition, payments of principal on a gross basis received by the CMBS Trust is included in cash flows from investing activities, while the payment of such principal on a gross basis to the other certificate holders is included within cash flows from financing activities.
