Two Harbors Investment (TWO) 8-K/A Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 31, 2018, Two Harbors Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “Two Harbors”) and Eiger Merger Subsidiary LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors (“Merger Sub”), consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 25, 2018, with CYS Investments, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CYS”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into CYS, with CYS continuing as the surviving corporation, becoming an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors (the “Merger”).

Upon completion of the Merger and under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CYS (“CYS Common Stock”) (other than shares held by Two Harbors or Merger Sub or by any wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors, Merger Sub or CYS, which were automatically cancelled and retired and ceased to exist) was converted into the right to receive from Two Harbors (a) 0.4680 newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Two Harbors (the “Two Harbors Common Stock”) and (b) the Per Share Cash Consideration of $0.0965, as specified in the Merger Agreement. No fractional shares of Two Harbors Common Stock were issued in the Merger, and the value of any fractional interests to which a former holder of CYS Common Stock is otherwise entitled was paid in cash.

In connection with the Merger, each share of 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CYS (the “CYS Series A Preferred Stock”) was converted into the right to receive one share of newly classified 7.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Two Harbors (the “Two Harbors Series D Preferred Stock), and each share of 7.50% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CYS (the “CYS Series B Preferred Stock”) was converted into the right to receive one share of newly classified 7.50% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Two Harbors (the “Two Harbors Series E Preferred Stock”). The Two Harbors Series D Preferred Stock has the same rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers as those of the CYS Series A Preferred Stock, and the Two Harbors Series E Preferred Stock has the same rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers as those of the CYS Series B Preferred Stock.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been prepared as if the Merger occurred on January 1, 2017 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017 and six months ended June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) are not necessarily indicative of what the actual operating results would have been had the Merger occurred on January 1, 2017, nor do they purport to represent Two Harbors’ future operating results.

The estimated fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are subject to change during the measurement period as additional information related to the inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities becomes available and may result in variances to the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income.

1

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and have been prepared on the basis of certain assumptions and adjustments. These assumptions and the estimates underlying the adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that management of Two Harbors considered to be reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) do not purport to: (i) represent the results of Two Harbors’ operations that would have actually occurred had the Merger occurred on January 1, 2017; or (ii) project Two Harbors’ results of operations for any future period. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements because of various factors, including those described in Two Harbors’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, under the caption “Risk Factors.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information  have been developed from, and should be read in conjunction with, (i) the consolidated financial statements of Two Harbors and the accompanying notes thereto included in Two Harbors’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, (ii) the consolidated financial statements of CYS and the accompanying notes thereto included in CYS’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, (iii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of CYS at June 30, 2018 and the related unaudited consolidated statement of operation, consolidated statement of stockholders equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 included in Exhibit 99.2 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, and (iv) the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In Two Harbors’ opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the Mergers have been made.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

(in thousands, except per share data)

1.  Overview

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Two Harbors has assumed a total preliminary purchase price for the Merger of approximately $1.4 billion, which consists  primarily of Two Harbors Common Stock issued in exchange for shares of CYS Common Stock.  The total preliminary purchase price was calculated based on the closing price of Two Harbors Common Stock on July 31, 2018, which was $15.50.

Estimated Purchase Price:

Common Stock Exchange:
CYS Common Stock Outstanding	155,440,829
Common Exchange Ratio	0.4680
Two Harbors Common Stock to be issued	72,746,308
Two Harbors Share Price	$	15.50
			$	1,127,568
Per Share Cash Consideration:
CYS Common Stock Outstanding	155,440,829
Per Share Cash Consideration	$	0.0965
Per Share Cash Consideration			$	15,000
	Shares
Preferred Stock Exchange:
Series D Preferred Stock	3,000,000		$	75,000
Series E Preferred Stock	8,000,000		$	200,000
Total Estimated Purchase Price			$	1,417,568

The total preliminary estimated purchase price described above has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed for purposes of pro forma condensed combined financial statements, based on their estimated relative fair values, assuming the Merger was completed on June 30, 2018.  The final allocation will be based upon valuations and other analyses for which there is currently insufficient information to make a definitive allocation.  Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.  The final purchase price allocation will be determined after a complete and thorough analysis has been completed to determine the fair value of CYS’s net assets and liabilities.  As a result, the final acquisition accounting adjustments, including those resulting from conforming CYS’s accounting policies to those of Two Harbors’ could differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented herein.  The purchase price of CYS (as calculated in the manner described above) is allocated to the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed on the following preliminary basis:

Available-for-sale securities, at fair value	$	10,426,068
Cash and cash equivalents	953
Restricted Cash	1,735
Accrued interest receivable	49,667
Due from counterparties	150,241
Receivable for reverse repurchase agreements	779,362
Derivative assets, at fair value	307,404
Other investments	8,673
Other assets	2,878
Repurchase agreements	(9,187,589		)
Obligation to return securities borrowed under reverse repurchase agreements, at fair value	(761,406		)
Derivative liabilities, at fair value	(6,094		)
Due to counterparties	(284,616		)
Dividends payable	(38,607		)
Accrued interest payable	(56,394		)
Other liabilities	(3,906		)
Retained earnings (accumulated deficit)	29,199
	$	1,417,568

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by accounting for the Merger as an asset acquisition with Two Harbors as the acquiring entity.  The financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value, no goodwill is recorded, and the excess consideration (premium) paid and transactions costs are expensed given there are no meaningful non-financial assets  or other intangibles in which to assign value.

To the extent identified, certain reclassifications have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financials statements to conform CYS’s financial statement presentation to that of Two Harbors.  However, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may not reflect all of the adjustments necessary to conform the accounting policies of CYS to those of Two Harbors.

The pro forma adjustments represent Two Harbors management’s preliminary estimates and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed.  The unaudited pro forma

condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the impact of possible cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies.  Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the Merger that are not expected to have a continuing impact.  Further, non-recurring transaction-related expenses are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 combine the historical consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) of Two Harbors and CYS, giving effect to the Merger as if it occurred on January 1, 2017, the beginning of the earliest period presented.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Two Harbors and CYS as of June 30, 2018, giving effect to the Merger as if it occurred on June 30, 2018.

2. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 reflects the following adjustments:

A. Reclassification adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of CYS to conform to the financial statement presentation of Two Harbors.  Two Harbors classifies its Agency RMBS and non-Agency securities, excluding inverse interest-only Agency securities classified as derivatives for purposes of U.S. GAAP, as available-for-sale securities and all associated changes in unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, on an after-tax basis.  Therefore, the CYS Agency RMBS unrealized gains and losses, which have been accounted for historically under the fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 — Financial Instruments, have been reclassified from retained earnings (accumulated deficit) to accumulated other comprehensive income in the condensed combined balance sheet to conform to the presentation and  the accounting policies of Two Harbors.

The cumulative adjustment to reflect this reclassification in the condensed combined balance sheet:

Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(180,002	)
Retained earnings (accumulated deficit)	$	180,002

B. Cash

The pro forma adjustment represents the cash consideration of $15.0 million payable to CYS stockholders at the effective time of the Merger.

The historical amounts include Two Harbors’ and CYS’s actual operating results for the periods presented.  The pro forma adjustements to the historical amounts are presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, assuming the Merger occurred on January 1, 2017.  Noted below are the explanations for the adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018:

A. Reclassification adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of CYS to conform to the financial statement presentation of Two Harbors.  Two Harbors classifies its Agency RMBS and non-Agency securities, excluding inverse interest-only Agency securities classified as derivatives for purposes of U.S. GAAP, as available-for-sale securities and all associated changes in unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, on an after-tax basis.  Therefore, the CYS Agency RMBS unrealized gains and losses, which have been accounted for historically under the fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 — Financial Instruments, have been reclassified from other income (loss) to other comprehensive income (loss) in the Statement of Compehensive Income (Loss) to conform to the presentation and  the accounting policies of Two Harbors.

The cumulative adjustment to reflect this reclassification in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss):

	Year ended		Six months

Loss on investment securities	$	94,463	$	(179,685	)

CYS incurred certain merger-related transaction costs during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The pro forma adjustment represents the reversal of these costs, which were directly related to the Merger and will not have a continuing impact on the operating results of Two Harbors.
