Notes to Financial Statements

As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

Note 1—Organization

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP (the “Master Fund”) is a limited liability partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Master Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Interests in the Master Fund were issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The investment objective of the Master Fund is to achieve attractive total returns by capitalizing on dislocations in the mortgage market through opportunistic investments primarily in U.S. residential mortgages and related assets, instruments, and entities.

The Master Fund is managed by PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (the “Investment Manager”). The Investment Manager is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The general partner of the Master Fund is PNMAC Opportunity Fund Associates, LLC (the “General Partner”), a Delaware limited liability company. Both the Investment Manager and General Partner are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”).

The Master Fund operates as a master fund in a master-feeder fund structure. The Master Fund acts as a central investment mechanism for (i) PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LLC (the “Fund” or “Limited Partner”) and (ii) the General Partner. The Fund owned 89% of the Master Fund at June 30, 2014 and is the sole limited partner. The General Partner has the exclusive right to conduct the operations of the Master Fund.

The Master Fund conducts its operations through investments in PNMAC Mortgage Co. Funding, LLC, PNMAC Mortgage Co. Funding II, LLC, PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC, and PNMAC Mortgage Co., LLC (these companies are referred to collectively as the “Mortgage Investments”), as well as investments in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”).

●	PNMAC Mortgage Co. Funding, LLC is a wholly owned limited liability company. PNMAC Mortgage Co. Funding, LLC acquires, holds and works out distressed U.S. residential mortgage loans and MBS resulting from securitization of such mortgage loans.

●	PNMAC Mortgage Co. Funding II, LLC is a wholly owned limited liability company. PNMAC Mortgage Co. Funding II, LLC acquires, holds and works out distressed U.S. residential mortgage loans and owns MBS resulting from securitization of such mortgage loans.

●

PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC is an investment company that was formed to pool investor capital and take an interest in the proceeds of FNBN I, LLC (“FNBN”). FNBN is a limited liability company formed to own a pool of residential mortgage loans in a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The FDIC owns a substantial participation interest in the proceeds of the mortgage loans held by FNBN that depends on the amount of proceeds collected; the remaining share is owned by PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC. At June 30, 2014, the Master Fund owned 68% of PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC.

●	PNMAC Mortgage Co., LLC is a wholly owned limited liability company. PNMAC Mortgage Co., LLC acquires, holds and works out distressed U.S. residential mortgage loans.

Through their mortgage servicing agreements with PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), the Mortgage Investments proactively work with borrowers to perform loan servicing and loss mitigation activities to maximize returns and minimize credit losses. PLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of PNMAC.

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP

Notes to Financial Statements

As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

The Mortgage Investments seek to maximize the value of the mortgage loans that they acquire based on whether the acquired loans are performing or nonperforming:

●

The objective for performing loans is value enhancement through effective “high touch” servicing, which is based on significant levels of borrower outreach and contact, and the ability to implement long-term, sustainable loan modification and restructuring programs that address borrowers’ ability and willingness to pay their mortgage loans. Once a Mortgage Investment has improved the credit quality of a loan, the Master Fund may monetize the enhanced value through various disposition strategies.

●

When loan modifications and other efforts are unable to cure distressed loans, the Mortgage Investments’ objective is to effect timely acquisition and liquidation of the property securing the mortgage loan.

As market conditions permit, PNMAC Mortgage Co., LLC may transfer the mortgage loans it owns to the Master Fund to be securitized for financing purposes or sale. The Master Fund may hold interests in pools of such securitized mortgages and invests directly in other mortgage-related investment securities.

The Master Fund began operations on August 11, 2008 and will continue in existence through December 31, 2016, subject to three one-year extensions by the Investment Manager at its discretion, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement governing the Master Fund.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

The Master Fund prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as codified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The Master Fund reports its investments in the Mortgage Investments in accordance with the Special Rules of General Application to Registered Investment Companies topic of the Codification and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide: Investment Companies. These rules do not permit the Master Fund to consolidate its ownership interest in its investments.

Following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Master Fund:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

Fair Value

The Master Fund carries its investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period results of operations. The Master Fund groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The three levels are described below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP

Notes to Financial Statements

As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Master Fund. These may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.

Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Investment Manager’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances.

While the Investment Manager believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of different methods or inputs to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments would likely result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Those estimated values may differ significantly from the fair values that would have been used had a readily available market for such assets or liabilities existed, or had such assets or liabilities been liquidated, and those differences could be material to the financial statements.

Short-term Investment

The short-term investment is carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Short-term investment, which represents an investment in an institutional liquidity (or money market) fund, is valued based on the fair value per share published by the manager of the money market fund on the valuation date. The Master Fund’s short-term investment is classified as a “Level 1” fair value financial statement item.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Master Fund records purchases and sales of MBS on the trade date basis of accounting. The Master Fund’s investments in MBS are carried at their fair values with changes in the fair value of MBS recognized in current period results of operations. Changes in fair value arising from amortization of purchase premiums and accrual of unearned discounts are recognized as a component of interest income. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined using the specific identification method. The Master Fund categorizes its investment in non-Agency MBS as a “Level 3” fair value financial statement item due to the present lack of an active market for such securities.

Interest Income Recognition

Interest income on MBS is recognized over the life of the security using the interest method. The Investment Manager estimates, at the time of purchase, the future expected cash flows and determines the effective interest rate based on the estimated cash flows and the Master Fund’s purchase price. The Investment Manager updates its cash flow estimates monthly.

Estimating cash flows is subject to a number of inputs that are subject to uncertainties, including the rate and timing of principal repayments, the pass-through or coupon interest rate, interest rate fluctuations, interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying mortgage loans, the likelihood of modification and the timing of the magnitude of credit losses on the mortgage loans underlying the securities. The Investment Manager applies its judgment in developing its inputs. These uncertainties are difficult to predict and are subject to future events whose outcomes will affect the Master Fund’s fair value estimates and interest income.

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP

Notes to Financial Statements

As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

Mortgage Investments

The Mortgage Investments are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the Mortgage Investments are recognized in current period results of operations. The Mortgage Investments are valued based on the Master Fund’s proportionate ownership share of the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of companies comprising the Mortgage Investments given that the loans or loan participation interest and real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”) held by the Mortgage Investments, net of collateralized borrowings, represent substantially all of the net asset value held by these entities. Because the fair values of the Mortgage Investments have been estimated by the Investment Manager in the absence of readily determinable fair values, the Master Fund categorizes these investments as “Level 3” fair value financial statement items.

PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC’s operating agreement with the FDIC governing its investment in FNBN limits PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC’s ability to transfer any of its rights or interests in FNBN. PNMAC Mortgage Co (FI), LLC may only transfer all or any part of its interest or rights if (i) the transferee is a qualified transferee as defined in the operating agreement and (ii) it first obtains prior written consent of the FDIC. The contract specifies that the consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, if the transferee is a qualified transferee.

Dividend Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, using reasonable diligence, when known to the Master Fund.

Expenses

The Master Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, such as, but not limited to advisory fees, custody fees, and interest expense. Expenses that are not directly attributable to the Master Fund are generally allocated among the entities in proportion to their assets. All general and administrative expenses are recognized on the accrual basis of accounting.

Income Taxes

The Master Fund has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Each partner is responsible for the tax liability or benefit relating to such partner’s distributive share of taxable income or loss. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

The Investment Manager’s assessment of the requirement to provide for income taxes also includes an assessment of the liability arising from uncertain income tax positions. The Investment Manager has concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions that will be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The Investment Manager is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. In developing its conclusion, the Investment Manager of the Master Fund has analyzed all tax years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of June 30, 2014, open federal and state income tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2010 through 2013 and December 31, 2009 through 2013, respectively. The Master Fund has no examination in progress.

If applicable, the Master Fund will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “interest expense” and penalties in “other expenses” on the statement of operations.

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP

Notes to Financial Statements

As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

No distributions will be made by the Master Fund to cover any taxes due on Limited Partners’ investments in the Master Fund. Investors may not redeem capital from the Master Fund, and they must have other sources of cash available to them to pay such taxes.

Partners’ Capital

Net profits or net losses of the Master Fund for each month are allocated to the capital accounts of partners as of the last day of each month in accordance with the partners’ respective investment ownership percentages of the Master Fund. Net profits or net losses are measured as the net change in the value of the partners’ capital of the Master Fund during the fiscal period, before giving effect to any repurchases of interest in the Master Fund, and excluding the amount of any items to be allocated to the capital accounts of the partners of the Master Fund, other than in accordance with the partners’ respective investment ownership percentages.

Capital Distributions and Carried Interest

Distributions are made in accordance with the following distribution priorities:

First, 100% to the Limited Partner until the Limited Partner has received 100% of the Limited Partner’s capital contributions (irrespective of whether such capital contributions were used to make investment, pay management fees and expenses or any other purpose);

Second, 100% to the Limited Partner, until the Limited Partner has received a preferred return on the amounts described in (1) above calculated at a rate of 8%, compounded annually;

Third, 100% to the General Partner until the General Partner has received an amount equal to 20% of the sum of (a) the profits distributed to the Limited Partner pursuant to (2) above and (b) the amount paid to the General Partner pursuant to this item (3); and

Thereafter, (i) 80% to the Limited Partner and (ii) 20% to the General Partner (the “Carried Interest”).

The Carried Interest is allocated (and subsequently distributed) by the Master Fund to the General Partner as allocable shares of the Master Fund’s gains.

Indemnifications

Under the Master Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Master Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Master Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Fund that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Master Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Valuation Techniques and Assumptions

Most of the Master Fund’s assets are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period results of operations. A substantial portion of those assets are “Level 3” financial statement items which require the use of significant unobservable inputs in the estimation of the assets’ values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Master Fund’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP
Notes to Financial Statements
As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

The Investment Manager has assigned the responsibility for estimating the fair values of “Level 3” financial statement items to its Financial Analysis and Valuation group (the “FAV group”), which is responsible for valuing and monitoring the Fund’s investment portfolios and maintenance of its valuation policies and procedures.

The FAV group reports to the Investment Manager’s valuation committee, which oversees and approves the valuations. The valuation committee includes the Investment Manager’s chief executive, financial, operating, credit, and asset/liability management officers.

The FAV group monitors the models used for valuation of the Master Fund’s “Level 3” financial statement items, including the models’ performance versus actual results and reports those results to the valuation committee. The results developed in the FAV group’s monitoring activities are used to calibrate subsequent projections used for valuation.

The FAV group is responsible for reporting to the Investment Manager’s valuation committee on a monthly basis on the changes in the valuation of the portfolio, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and assumptions. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the FAV group presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of each of the changes to the significant inputs to the models.

The following describes the methods used to estimate the fair values of Level 3 financial statement items:

Mortgage Investments

The Master Fund’s primary investments are the Mortgage Investments. Summarized financial information for these investments are presented in Note 4—Mortgage Investments below. Most of the Mortgage Investments’ assets are mortgage loans and REO which are carried at fair value. Following are the valuation methods and assumptions applied in the measurement of these assets.

Mortgage Loans

The mortgage loans held by the Mortgage Investments are generally not saleable into active mortgage loan markets. Therefore the Master Fund classifies these assets as “Level 3” financial statement items, and their fair values are generally estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation model. Inputs to the model include current interest rates, loan amount, payment status and property type, and forecasts of future interest rates, home prices, prepayment speeds, default and loss severities.

The Investment Manager incorporates lack of liquidity into its fair value estimates based on the type of asset or liability measured and the valuation method used. For example, for mortgage loans where the significant inputs have become unobservable due to illiquidity in the markets for distressed mortgage loans or non-Agency, non-conforming mortgage loans, a discounted cash flow technique is used to estimate fair value. This technique incorporates forecasting of expected cash flows discounted at an appropriate market discount rate that is intended to reflect the lack of liquidity in the market.

The valuation process includes the computation by stratum of the loan population and a review for reasonableness of various measures such as weighted average life, projected prepayment and default speeds, and projected default and loss percentages. The Investment Manager’s FAV staff computes the effect on fair value of changes in input variables such as interest rates, home prices, and delinquency status to assess the reasonableness of changes in the loans’ valuation. The results of the estimates of fair value of the Mortgage Investments’ loans are reported to the Investment Manager’s valuation committee as part of its review and approval of monthly valuation results.

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP
Notes to Financial Statements
As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

Changes in fair value attributable to investment-specific credit risk are measured by the effect on the loan’s fair value of changes in respective loan’s delinquency status at period-end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Master Fund’s mortgage loans are discount rate, home price projections, voluntary prepayment speeds and default speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

Following is a quantitative summary of key assumptions used in the valuation of mortgage loans at fair value:

		Range
Valuation Techniques	Key Inputs	(Weighted average)
Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	7.2% - 15.0%
		(11.6%)
	Twelve-month housing price index change	2.4% - 5.7%
		(4.7%)
	Voluntary Prepayment speed (Life voluntary CRR) (1)	0.0% - 3.3%
		(2.6%)
	Total Prepayment speed (Life total CPR) (2)	0.9% - 23.2%
		(18.6%)

(1) Prepayment speed is measured using Constant Repayment Rate (“CRR”)

(2) Prepayment speed is measured using Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”)

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans

Fair value of REO is determined by using a current estimate of value from a broker’s price opinion, a full appraisal or the price given in a pending contract of sale. REO values are reviewed by the Investment Manager’s staff appraisers when the Master Fund obtains multiple indications of fair value and there are significant differences between the fair values received. The Investment Manager’s staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the differences between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers will order an additional appraisal to resolve the property’s fair value.

REO may be subsequently revalued due to the Master Fund receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or management receiving indications that the property’s value may not be supported by developing market conditions.

Mortgage-backed Security

The Master Fund’s investment in MBS is a non-Agency MBS backed by distressed non-performing loans. Agency MBS refers to securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Government National Mortgage Association.

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP
Notes to Financial Statements
As of and for the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

Fair value of non-Agency MBS is determined based on whether the MBS is backed by loans held by the Master Fund or the Mortgage Investments, or by non-affiliates. MBS backed by mortgage loans held by the Master Fund or the Mortgage Investments are valued using the approach described under Mortgage Loans above. The Master Fund and the Mortgage Investments do not hold any MBS backed by loans held by non-affiliates.

Following is a quantitative summary of key inputs used in the valuation of the mortgage-backed security at fair value:

		Range
Valuation Techniques	Key Inputs	(Weighted average)
Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	7.2% - 15.0%
		(10.2%)
	Twelve-month housing price index change	3.3% - 6.2%
		(4.2%)
	Voluntary Prepayment speed (Life voluntary CRR) (1)	0.1% - 3.3%
		(2.9%)
	Total Prepayment speed (Life total CPR) (2)	0.9% - 23.2%
		(16.9%)

(1) Prepayment speed is measured using Constant Repayment Rate (“CRR”)

(2) Prepayment speed is measured using Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”)

Note 10—Risk Factors

The Master Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types and degrees of risk associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests.

Investments in MBS and mortgage loans have exposure to risk that includes interest rate risk, market risk, and default risk (the potential non-payment of principal and interest, including default or bankruptcy of

PNMAC Mortgage Opportunity Fund, LP

Notes to Financial Statements

the issuer or the intermediary in the case of a mortgage loan participation). Mortgage loans are also subject to prepayment risk, which will affect the maturity of, and yield on, such investments and any MBS into which such mortgage loans have been securitized.

Investments in REO are also subject to various risk factors. Generally, real estate investments could be adversely affected by a recession, natural disaster or general economic downturn in the area where the properties are located as well as the availability of similar properties in such area. Real estate investment performance is also subject to the effectiveness of a particular property manager in managing the property.

The Master Fund is indirectly subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that investments in loans held by the Mortgage Investments will decline in fair value because of changes in market interest rates. Investments in mortgage loans with long-term maturities may experience significant decreases in fair value if long-term interest rates increase.

Market risk represents the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments caused by movements in market factors including, but not limited to, market liquidity, investor sentiment, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Master Fund’s portfolio includes certain investments that are generally illiquid and have a greater amount of market risk than more liquid investments. These investments may trade in limited markets or have restrictions on resale or transfer and may not be able to be liquidated on demand if needed. The fair value assigned to these investments may differ significantly from the fair values that could be realized upon liquidation or that would have been used had a ready market existed. Such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Adverse changes in economic conditions are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of borrowers to make principal interest payments. An economic downturn could severely affect the ability of highly leveraged borrowers to service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations. Under adverse market or economic conditions, the secondary market could contract further as well, increasing the illiquid nature of the loans. As a result, the Mortgage Investments could find it more difficult to sell loans or may be able to sell only at prices lower than if such investments were widely traded.

An investment in the Master Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire investment. An investment in the Master Fund represents an indirect investment in the loans held by the Mortgage Investments. The fair value, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. An investment in the Master Fund at any point in time may be worth less than the original investment. Investment fair values can fluctuate for several reasons including the general condition of the mortgage market or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur.

As part of its investment strategy, the Master Fund may utilize borrowings. Master Fund investments may also use borrowings in the ordinary course of their operations. The use of borrowings, and the Master Fund’s ability to service the debt and comply with all of the covenants relating to such borrowings, may materially affect the operations of the Master Fund or its investments, and thus its ultimate fair value. Financing may not always be available on acceptable terms, in the necessary amounts, or for the period needed. This could have a material negative impact on the performance of the Master Fund.

The Master Fund clears substantially all of its investment purchases and sales and maintains substantially all of its investments and cash positions at U.S. Bank, N.A. Credit risk is measured by the loss the Master Fund would record if U.S. Bank, N.A. failed to perform pursuant to the terms of its obligations.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement

On June 2, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Master Fund and the Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), including the “non-interested” Directors (the “Independent Directors”), met in person and voted to approve the continuance of the Investment Management Agreements (including the portions of the Master Fund’s partnership agreement referred to therein) with the Investment Manager for an additional year.

In considering whether to recommend approval of the Investment Management Agreements, the Independent Directors reviewed materials provided by the Investment Manager and counsel to the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors also met with senior personnel of the Investment Manager and discussed a number of topics affecting their determination, including the following:

(i) The nature, extent, and quality of services expected to be provided by the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the services that the Investment Manager provided to the Funds since inception in August 2008 and are expected to continue to provide to the Funds. In addition, the Independent Directors considered the size, education, background, and experience of the Investment Manager’s staff, including the mortgage finance and capital markets experience of the Investment Manager’s senior management team. Lastly, the Independent Directors reviewed the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain quality and experienced personnel. The Independent Directors concluded that the scope of services provided since inception and expected to be provided by the Investment Manager to the Funds, and the experience and expertise of the personnel performing such

services, was consistent with the nature, extent, and quality expected of an investment adviser of investment vehicles such as the Funds.

(ii) The investment performance of the Funds and the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors received information about the performance of the Funds and the Investment Manager in managing the Fund. The Directors also received performance information regarding the Funds compared to certain indexes, benchmarks, and/or registered and non-registered funds managed by other investment advisers that had somewhat comparable investment programs.

(iii) Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Independent Directors considered the estimated cost of the services provided by the Investment Manager. As part of their analysis, the Independent Directors gave substantial consideration to the compensation payable to the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors noted that the compensation terms would remain the same. In reviewing the management compensation, the Independent Directors considered the management fees and operating expense ratios of other registered and non-registered funds managed by other investment advisers that had somewhat comparable investment programs. The Independent Directors also reviewed and took into account other relationships between the Funds and the Investment Manager and its related persons, including the shareholder servicing agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund, the mortgage servicing agreements between the Master Fund and an affiliate of the Investment Manager, and an agreement with BlackRock, which has an investment in the Investment Manager’s parent company, for a portfolio valuation analytic model. The Independent Directors also considered the compensation charged by the Investment Manager to its other clients. Finally, the Independent Directors took those other service agreements into account in the context of evaluating the profitability of the Investment Manager in respect of the overall relationship of the Investment Manager and its related persons to the Funds.

(iv) Economies of Scale. The Independent Directors also considered that possible economies of scale from future growth of the Funds were not relevant inasmuch as the Funds were closed to any new investment and had limited terms.

The Independent Directors had an opportunity to have Executive Session with counsel to the Independent Directors. During the course of their deliberations at the meeting on June 2, 2014, the Independent Directors thoroughly reviewed and evaluated the factors to be considered for approval of the Investment Management Agreements including, but not limited to: the expenses incurred in performance of services by the Investment Manager; the compensation to be received by the Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreements; the fees charged by the Investment Manager’s peers; the past performance of the Investment Manager; and the range and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager.

The Independent Directors expressed satisfaction with the information provided at the meeting on June 2, 2014 and prior meetings, and acknowledged that they had received sufficient information to consider and approve the continuance of the Investment Management Agreements. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Independent Directors. Rather, after weighing all of the reasons discussed above, the Independent Directors unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreements.

The Independent Directors concluded that the compensation that the Investment Manager would receive under the Investment Management Agreements was reasonable.
