Note 19. Recent Developments

During July 2011, we transferred $365 million of residential securities (at market value) into a re-securitization trust sponsored by Credit Suisse, and received, as consideration, subordinated securities issued by the trust, as well as net cash proceeds of $243 million. We anticipate consolidating this entity for financial reporting purposes, pending our final interpretation of applicable GAAP pertaining to the transfer of financial assets and consolidation of VIEs. Consolidation of this entity would result in our reporting an additional $245 million of ABS issued, reflecting that for GAAP purposes this transaction represents a secured financing. The Credit Suisse re-securitization trust to which we transferred residential securities is independent of Redwood and its assets and liabilities are not legally owned by and are not obligations of Redwood.
