Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

Note 1– Organization

We were incorporated as a Maryland corporation on March 15, 2011 and commenced operations on July 27, 2011. We are externally managed and advised by ARM Manager, LLC (or, Manager), an indirect subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its subsidiaries,”Apollo”).

We operate and have elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (or, REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or, Internal Revenue Code), commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. We also operate our business in a manner that allows us not to register as an “Investment Company” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (or, 1940 Act).

We invest on a levered basis in residential mortgage and mortgage-related assets in the U.S. At June 30, 2016, our portfolio was comprised of: (i) Agency RMBS, (which include pass-through securities whose underlying collateral primarily includes 30 year fixed-rate mortgages) and Agency IO, (ii) non-Agency RMBS; (iii) securitized mortgage loans; (iv) other mortgage-related securities; (v) mortgage loans; and (vi) other real estate related investments associated with our Seller Financing Program.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation. We currently operate as one business segment.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (or, GAAP) requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or, the SEC) on March 4, 2016. Our results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid short term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We deposit our cash with what we believe to be high credit quality institutions. From time to time, our cash may include amounts pledged to us by our counterparties as collateral for our derivative instruments. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents were primarily comprised of cash on deposit with our prime broker (which is domiciled in the U.S.); substantially all of which was in excess of applicable insurance limits and, we had $40,051 and $40,012 invested in a money market fund at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Included in cash and cash equivalents was cash pledged by our counterparties to us of $280 at December 31, 2015; we had no cash pledged to us by counterparties at June 30, 2016.

(c) Obligation to Return Cash Held as Collateral

From time to time, we may hold cash pledged as collateral to us by certain of our derivative counterparties as a result of margin calls made by us. Cash pledged to us is unrestricted in use and, accordingly, is included as a component of cash on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, a corresponding liability is reported as an obligation to return cash held as collateral.

(d) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash held by our counterparties as collateral against our repurchase agreement borrowings, Swaps or other derivative instruments. Restricted cash is not available for general corporate purposes, but may be applied

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

against amounts due to counterparties under our repurchase agreement borrowings and Swaps, or returned to us when our collateral requirements are exceeded or at the maturity or termination of the derivative instrument or repurchase agreement.

(e) Investment Securities and Securitized Mortgage Loans

Our investment securities, which are comprised of RMBS and other investment securities, are designated as available for sale. Our RMBS portfolio may be comprised of mortgage pass-through certificates, CMOs, including Agency IO and Agency Inverse IO representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of mortgage loans. Our securitized mortgage loans, which are designated as held for investment, are presented on our balance sheet as “Securitized mortgage loans transferred to consolidated variable interest entities, at fair value.” These mortgage loans are comprised of pools of performing, re-performing and non-performing mortgage loans that we purchased at a discount to principal balance.

At June 30, 2016, our other investment securities were comprised of investments in Risk Sharing Securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and SBC-MBS. Our SBC-MBS generally include mortgage loans collateralized by a mix of residential multi-family (i.e., properties with five or more units), mixed use residential/commercial, small retail, office building, warehouse and other types of property. In some instances, certain of the mortgage loans underlying the SBC-MBS that we own may also be additionally secured by a personal guarantee from the primary principals of the related business and/or borrowing entity. Our investments in Risk Sharing Securities and SBC-MBS are included in “Other investment securities, at fair value” on our consolidated balance sheet. Interest income on our Risk Sharing Securities is included in “Interest Income—Other” and changes in the estimated fair value of such securities is included in “Unrealized gain/(loss) on other investment securities” on our consolidated statements of operations.

Balance Sheet Presentation

Purchases and sales of our investment securities are recorded on the trade date. Our RMBS and other investment securities pledged as collateral against borrowings under repurchase agreements are included in “Residential mortgage-backed securities, at fair value” and “Other investment securities, at fair value” on our consolidated balance sheet, respectively, with the fair value of securities pledged disclosed parenthetically. Amounts receivable/payable associated with sales/purchases of securities at the balance sheet date are reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as “Investment related receivable” and “Investment related payable,” respectively.

For purposes of determining the applicable accounting policy with respect to our investment securities, we review credit ratings available from each of the three major credit rating agencies (i.e. Moody’s Investors Services, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Fitch, Inc.) for each investment security at the time of purchase and apply the lowest rating.

The aggregate fair value of the mortgage loans associated with our securitization transactions are presented on our consolidated balance sheet as “Securitized mortgage loans transferred to consolidated variable interest entities, at fair value.” (See Notes 5 and 14.)

Impairments

Investment Securities: We have elected the fair value option of accounting for our investment securities and, as such, all changes in the market value of our investment securities are recorded through earnings. When the fair value of an investment security is less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security is considered impaired. We assess our investment securities for impairment on at least a quarterly basis and designate such impairments as either “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” If we intend to sell an impaired security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell an impaired security before its anticipated recovery, then we recognize an other-than-temporary impairment (or, OTTI) through earnings. If we do not expect to sell an other-than-temporarily impaired security, only the portion of the OTTI that is related to credit losses will be recognized as an OTTI, with the remainder recognized through earnings as a component of unrealized gains/(losses) on our statement of operations. When an OTTI is recognized, a new cost basis is established for the security, which new cost basis may not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value through earnings. However, if the performance of a security on which an OTTI was previously recognized improves, future yields may increase on such securities, resulting in a reversal of all or a portion of previously recognized OTTI over time. The determination as to whether an OTTI exists and, if so, the amount of such impairment recognized is subjective, as such determinations are based on information available at the time of assessment, as well as our Manager’s estimates of the future performance and cash flow projections for the individual security. (See Notes 4 and 6.)

Securitized Mortgage Loans: We have elected the fair value option of accounting for our securitized mortgage loans and, as such, all changes in the estimated fair value of our securitized mortgage loans are recorded through earnings, including a provision for loan losses, if any. Our securitized mortgage loans had evidence of deterioration of credit quality at the time of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

acquisition. We analyze our securitized mortgage loan pool at least quarterly to assess the actual performance compared to the expected performance. If the revised cash flow estimates on our securitized mortgage loans provide a lower yield than the previous yield, we recognize a provision to loan losses (i.e., a reduction in the amortized cost of the securitized mortgage loans that is recorded in earnings) in an amount such that the yield will remain unchanged. If cash flow estimates on our securitized mortgage loans increase subsequent to recording a provision to loan losses, we will reverse previously recognized provision for loan losses before any increase to the yield is made. (See Note 5.)

(f) Designation and Fair Value Option Election

To date, we have elected the fair value option of accounting for all of our investment securities, at the time of purchase, and our securitized debt, when initially incurred. As a result of the fair value election on such assets/liabilities, we record the change in the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities in earnings as unrealized gains/(losses). We generally intend to hold our investment securities to generate interest income; however, we have and may continue to sell certain of our investment securities as part of the overall management of our assets and liabilities and operating our business. Realized gains/(losses) on the sale of investment securities are recorded in earnings using the specific identification method.

Our securitized mortgage loans are considered held for investment purposes. Consistent with our investments in RMBS, we have elected the fair value option for our securitized mortgage loans and, as a result, we record changes in the estimated fair value of such assets in earnings as unrealized gains/(losses).

We believe that our election of the fair value option for our investment securities, securitized mortgage loans and securitized debt improves financial reporting, as such treatment is consistent with how we present the changes in the fair value of our Swaps, Swaptions and TBA Contracts, all of which are derivative instruments, through earnings.

(g) Interest Income Recognition

Investment Securities

Interest income on investment securities is accrued based on the outstanding principal balance and the current coupon interest rate on each security. In addition, premiums and discounts associated with Agency RMBS, non-Agency RMBS and other investment securities rated AA and higher by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization at the time of purchase are amortized into interest income over the life of such securities using the effective yield method. In order to determine the effective yield, we estimate prepayments for each security. For those securities, if prepayment levels differ, or are expected to differ in the future from our previous assessment, we adjust the amount of premium amortization recognized in the period that such change is made, applying the retrospective method, resulting in a cumulative catch-up reflecting such change. To the extent that prepayment activity varies significantly from our previous prepayment estimates, we may experience volatility in our interest income. For Agency pass-through RMBS that we acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013, we do not estimate prepayments to determine premium amortization or discount accretion on such securities. Instead, the amount of premium amortization/discount accretion on Agency pass-through RMBS acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013 is based upon actual prepayment experience, which may vary significantly over time. All Agency RMBS we held at June 30, 2016 were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013.

For Agency IO, Agency Inverse IO and Agency Inverse Floaters, income is accrued based on the amortized cost and the effective yield. Cash received on Agency IO and Agency Inverse IO is first applied to accrued interest and then to reduce the amortized cost. At each reporting date, the effective yield is adjusted prospectively based on the current cash flow projections, which reflect prepayment estimates and the contractual terms of the security.

Interest income on non-Agency RMBS and other investment securities rated below AA or not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization is recognized based on the effective yield method of accounting. The effective yield on these securities is based on the projected cash flows from each security, which are estimated based on our observation of current information and events and include assumptions related to the future path of interest rates, prepayment speeds and the timing and amount of credit losses. On at least a quarterly basis, we review and, if appropriate, make adjustments to our cash flow projections based on input and analysis received from external sources, internal models and our judgment about interest rates, prepayment speeds, the timing and amount of credit losses and other factors. Changes in cash flows from those originally projected, or from those estimated at the last evaluation, may result in a prospective change in the yield/interest income recognized on such securities. Actual maturities of the securities are affected by the contractual lives of the associated mortgage collateral, periodic payments of principal, prepayments of principal and the payment priority structure of the security; therefore, actual maturities are generally shorter than the stated contractual maturities of the underlying mortgages. Based on the projected cash flows for our non-Agency RMBS, we generally expect that a portion of the purchase discount on such securities will not be recognized as interest income and is instead viewed as a credit discount. The credit discount mitigates our

9

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

risk of loss on our non-Agency securities. The amount considered to be credit discount may change over time, based on the actual performance of the underlying mortgage collateral, actual and projected cash flows from such collateral, economic conditions and other factors. If the performance of a non-Agency RMBS with a credit discount is more favorable than forecasted, we may accrete more discount into interest income than expected at the time of purchase or when performance was last assessed. Conversely, if the performance of a non-Agency RMBS with a credit discount is less favorable than forecasted, the amount of discount accreted into income may be less than expected at the time of purchase or when performance was last assessed and/or impairment and write-downs of such securities to a new lower cost basis could result.

Securitized Mortgage Loans

Application of the interest method of accounting for our pools of securitized mortgage loans requires the use of estimates to calculate a projected yield. We calculate the yield based on the projected cash flows for each pool of mortgage loans. To the extent the actual performance of a loan pool is better than last expected, the yield is adjusted upward prospectively to reflect the revised estimate of cash flows over the remaining life of such mortgage pool. However, if the revised cash flow estimates on a loan pool provides a lower yield than the original or the last calculated yield, we recognize an OTTI (i.e., a reduction in the amortized cost of the loan pool that is recorded in earnings) such that the yield will remain unchanged. Decreasing yields arising solely from a change in the contractual interest rate on variable rate loans are not treated as an OTTI. If future cash collections are materially different in amount or timing than projected cash collections, earnings could be affected, either positively or negatively.

On at least a quarterly basis, our Manager reviews and, if appropriate, makes adjustments to cash flow projections based on input and analysis received from external sources, internal models and our Manager’s judgment about interest rates, prepayment speeds, home prices, the timing and amount of credit losses and other factors. Changes in cash flows from those originally projected, or from those estimated at the last evaluation, may result in a prospective change in the yield/interest income recognized on such loans and/or the recognition of an OTTI.

Warehouse Line Receivable, BFT Contracts and Mortgage Loans Purchased Under Seller Financing Program

We accrue interest income on our warehouse line receivable, which is included as a component of our “Interest income-other” and “Other investments,” on our consolidated financial statements, based on the contractual terms governing the warehouse line receivable agreement. We assess the collectability of the warehouse receivable and associated income on at least a quarterly basis. We record interest on a cash basis for our BFT Contracts and mortgage loans purchased under the Seller Financing Program.

(h) Investment Consolidation and Transfers of Financial Assets

We evaluate the underlying entity that issues securities we acquire or to which we make a loan to determine the appropriate accounting methods.

In VIEs, an entity is subject to consolidation if the equity investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity’s activities or are not exposed to the entity’s losses or entitled to its residual returns. VIEs that meet certain scope characteristics are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination can sometimes involve complex and subjective analysis. We are required on an ongoing basis to assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

In determining the accounting treatment to be applied to securitization transactions, we evaluate whether the entity used to facilitate the transactions was a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated. Based on our evaluations, we have concluded since inception of our securitizations that each of the securitizations is a VIE and that the VIEs should be consolidated. If we determine in the future that consolidation is not required for a securitization, we would have to assess whether the transfer of the underlying assets qualify as a sale or should be accounted for as secured financings under GAAP.

We may periodically enter into transactions in which we sell assets. Upon a transfer of financial assets, we may sometimes retain or acquire senior or subordinated interests in the related assets. In connection with such transactions, a determination must be made as to whether we, as the transferor, have surrendered control over transferred financial assets. That determination must consider our continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, including all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, even if they were not entered into at the time of the transfer. The financial components approach under applicable GAAP limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to

10

Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. It defines the term “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale.

From time to time, we have securitized mortgage loans. Depending upon the structure of the securitization transaction these transactions may be accounted for as either a “sale” and the loans will be removed from the consolidated balance sheet or, as a “financing” with the loans remaining on our consolidated balance sheet. Significant judgment may be exercised by us in determining whether a transaction should be recorded as a “sale” or a “financing.”

(i) Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with securing our financings are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest rate method over the respective financing term with such amortization reflected on our consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest expense. Deferred financing costs may include legal, accounting and other related fees. In connection with the adoption of accounting to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, on January 1, 2016, we reclassified deferred financing costs associated with our borrowings under repurchase agreements for prior periods as a component of the associated borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet. Previously, these deferred charges were included on our consolidated balance sheet as a component of “Other assets.”

(j) Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share (or, EPS) is computed using the two-class method of accounting, which includes the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends, such as our unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units (or, RSUs), to arrive at total common equivalent shares. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both shares of common stock and securities that participate in dividends based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. During periods of net loss, losses are allocated only to the extent that the participating securities are required to absorb such losses. (See Note 17.)

(k) Derivative Instruments

Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, we utilize derivative financial instruments, currently comprised of Swaps, Swaptions and, from time to time, TBA Contracts as part of our interest rate risk management. We view our derivative instruments as economic hedges, which we believe mitigate interest rate risk associated with our borrowings under repurchase agreements and/or the fair value of our RMBS portfolio. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

All derivatives are reported as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at estimated fair value. We have not elected hedge accounting for our derivative instruments and, as a result, changes in the fair value for our derivatives are recorded in earnings. The fair value adjustments, along with the related interest income or interest expense, are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the line item “Gain/(loss) on derivative instruments, net.”

To-Be-Announced Securities

TBA Contracts are forward contracts for the purchase or sale of Agency RMBS by a specified issuer and for a specified face amount, coupon and stated term, at a predetermined price on the date stated in the contract. The particular Agency RMBS as identified by a Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures number (commonly known as a CUSIP) delivered into the contract upon the settlement date are not known at the time of the transaction. We recognize in earnings unrealized gains and losses associated with TBA Contracts that are not subject to the regular-way exception, which applies: (i) when there is no other way to purchase or sell that security; (ii) if delivery of that security and settlement will occur within the shortest period possible for that type of security and (iii) if it is probable at inception and throughout the term of the individual contract that physical delivery of the security will occur. Changes in the value of our TBA Contracts and realized gains or losses on settlement are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in the line item “Gain/(loss) on derivative instruments, net.”

(l) Repurchase Agreements

Investment securities financed under repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized borrowings, unless they meet sale treatment or are deemed to be linked transactions. Through June 30, 2016, none of our repurchase agreements had been accounted for as a linked transaction. As of June 30, 2016, all securities financed through a repurchase agreement remained on our consolidated balance sheet as an asset (with the fair value of the securities pledged as collateral disclosed parenthetically) and cash received from the lender is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as a liability. However, securities associated

11

Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

with our securitizations are eliminated in consolidation with VIEs. Interest paid and accrued in connection with our repurchase agreements is recorded as interest expense.

(m) Stock-based Payments

We account for stock-based awards granted to our independent directors, to our Manager and to employees of our Manager and its affiliates using the fair value based methodology prescribed by GAAP. Expense related to restricted common stock issued to our independent directors is based on the fair value of our common stock on the grant date, and amortized into expense over the award vesting period on a straight-line basis. Expense related to RSUs issued to our Manager and to employees of our Manager and its affiliates are based on the estimated fair value of such award at the grant date and are remeasured quarterly for unvested awards. We measure the fair value of our RSUs using the price of our common stock and other measurement assumptions, including implied volatility and discount rates. We use the graded vesting attribution method of accounting to amortize expense related to RSUs granted to our Manager and its affiliates.

(n) Income Taxes(Dollar amounts in this Note 2(n) are not presented in thousands.)

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, a REIT that distributes at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, as a dividend to its stockholders each year and which meets certain other conditions, will not be taxed on the portion of its taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. We expect to meet the conditions required to enable us to continue to operate as a REIT and to distribute all of our taxable income, including net capital gains for the periods presented and therefore we have not recorded any provisions for income taxes on our consolidated statements of operations through June 30, 2016.

As of December 31, 2015, we had estimated net capital loss carryforward amounts of $67.7 million which may be carried forward and applied against future net capital gains. Our capital loss carryforward amounts will reduce the amount of future capital gains, if any, that we would otherwise expect to distribute as capital gains, since capital gains would first be reduced by the capital loss carryforward. At December 31, 2015, we had estimated capital loss carryforward amounts of $47.3 million and $20.4 million which will expire in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

We have elected to treat a wholly owned subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (or, TRS). A TRS may participate in activities that would otherwise not be allowed to be carried on in a REIT. A TRS is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate tax rates.

As of December 31, 2015 our TRS and its subsidiaries, which are not consolidated with the Company for income tax purposes, had an estimated net operating loss carryforward of $1.5 million. Given the limited operating history of our TRS and its subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that such entities will generate taxable income in the future. As a result, the deferred tax asset of approximately $0.6 million associated with our net operating loss carryforward has been offset by a valuation allowance, such that we had no net deferred tax asset or liability at December 31, 2015 and, had not recorded any tax benefits through June 30, 2016.

Under GAAP, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Based upon review of our federal, state and local income tax returns and tax filing positions, we determined that no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions were required to be recorded. In addition, we do not believe that we have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that we will be required to record significant amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Our major tax jurisdictions are U.S. Federal, New York State and New York City. The statute of limitations is open for all jurisdictions for tax years beginning 2012.

(o) Variable Interest Entities

We consolidate a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and a right to receive benefits or absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We are required to reconsider our evaluation of whether to consolidate a VIE each reporting period, based upon changes in the facts and circumstances pertaining to the VIE. (See Note 2(h).)

(p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

In June 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard’s Board (or, FASB) issued guidance providing for technical corrections and improvements to existing accounting standards. The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to existing accounting standards that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Transition guidance varies based on the amendments in this guidance. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this accounting guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2016 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This guidance became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires retrospective application. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $3 and $55 of net deferred financing costs. Under the new guidance these net deferred financing costs have been reclassified such that they reduce the carrying value of the associated borrowings on our consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented. In August 2015, the FASB expanded its April 2015 guidance associated with the presentation of debt issue costs, to address costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. In this update, the FASB noted that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowing on the line-of-credit arrangement. The adoption of this accounting guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2016 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to establish a comprehensive and converged standard on revenue recognition to enable financial statement users to better understand and consistently analyze an entity’s revenue across industries, transactions, and geographies. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The new guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Qualitative and quantitative information is required to be disclosed about: (1) contracts with customers, (2) significant judgments and changes in judgments, and (3) assets recognized from costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance will apply to all entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact that this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements when adopted.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related financial statement note disclosures. The new guidance requires that management evaluate each annual and interim reporting period whether conditions exist that give rise to substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date, and if so, provide related disclosures. Disclosures are only required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt, whether or not the substantial doubt is alleviated by management’s plans. No disclosures are required specific to going concern uncertainties if an assessment of the conditions does not give rise to substantial doubt. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the financial statement issuance date. If substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of the consideration of management’s plans, a company should disclose information that enables users of financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the financial statement notes): (1) principal conditions that initially give rise to substantial doubt, (2) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions in relation to the company’s ability to meet its obligations, and (3) management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt. If substantial doubt is not alleviated after considering management’s plans, disclosures should enable investors to understand the underlying conditions, and include the following: (1) a statement indicating that there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date, (2) the principal conditions that give rise to substantial doubt, (3) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions in relation to the company’s ability to meet its obligations, and (4) management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the adverse conditions. The new guidance applies to all companies. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning

13

Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Based on our current financial condition, we do not expect this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“ASU 2016-01”), which significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and requires the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements when adopted.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU No.2016-13”). The ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information such as relevant information about past events including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, for the purpose of informing credit loss estimates. The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The ASU also requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down, and limits the amount of the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early application is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements when adopted.

(q) Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Note 3 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(a) General

We disclose the estimated fair value of our financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy (Levels I, II, and III, as defined below). We are required to provide enhanced disclosures regarding instruments in the Level III category, including a separate reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each major category of assets and liabilities. GAAP provides a framework for measuring estimated fair value and for providing financial statement disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level I - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level II - Fair values are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing a security. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.

Level III - Fair values are 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.

The level in the fair value hierarchy, within which a fair measurement falls in its entirety, is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. When available, we use quoted market prices to determine the estimated fair value of an asset or liability.

Fair value under GAAP represents an exit price in the normal course of business, not a forced liquidation price. If we were forced to sell assets in a short period to meet liquidity needs, the prices received for such assets could be substantially less than their recorded fair values. Furthermore, the analysis of whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell securities in an unrealized loss position prior to an expected recovery in value (if any), the amount of such expected required sales, and the projected identification of which securities would be sold are also subject to significant judgment, particularly in times of market illiquidity.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

We have controls over our valuation processes that are intended to ensure that the valuations for our financial instruments are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis. Our Manager and our Chief Executive Officer oversee our valuation process, which is carried out by our Manager and Apollo’s pricing group. Our audit committee has final oversight for the valuation process for all of our financial instruments and, on a quarterly basis, reviews and provides final approval for such process.

Any changes to our valuation methodology will be reviewed by our Manager and audit committee to ensure the changes are appropriate. We may refine our valuation methodologies as markets and products develop. The methods used by us may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we anticipate that our valuation methods are appropriate and are believed to result in valuations consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of estimated fair value at the reporting date. We use inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocation, during which price transparency may be reduced.

The following describes the valuation methodologies used for our financial instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

(b) Agency RMBS, non-Agency RMBS, TBA Contracts, Securitized Mortgage Loans, Non-Recourse Securitized Debt and Other Investment Securities

To determine the fair value of our Agency RMBS, non-Agency RMBS, TBA Contracts, securitized mortgage loans, non-recourse securitized debt and other investment securities, we obtain third party broker quotes which, while non-binding, are indicative of fair value. To validate the reasonableness of the broker quotes, we obtain and compare the broker quotes to valuations received from a third party pricing service and review the range of quotes received for outliers, compare quotes to recent market activity observed for similar securities and review significant changes in quarterly price levels. We generally do not adjust the prices we obtain from brokers; however, adjustments to valuations may be made as deemed appropriate to capture observable market information at the valuation date. Further, broker quotes are used provided that there is not an ongoing material event that affects the issuer of the securities being valued or the market thereof. If there is such an ongoing event, we will determine the estimated fair value of the securities using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and prepayment rates and, with respect to non-Agency RMBS, default rates and loss severities. Valuation techniques for RMBS may be based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, assumptions related to prepayment speed, the frequency and severity of defaults and attributes of the collateral underlying such securities. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized as Level III. There were no events that resulted in us using internal models to value our Agency and non-Agency RMBS or other investment securities in our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Given the high level of liquidity and price transparency for our Agency RMBS, Risk Sharing Securities and TBA Contracts prices obtained from brokers and pricing services are readily verifiable to observable market transactions; as such, we categorize Agency RMBS, TBA Contracts and Risk Sharing Securities as Level II valuations. While market liquidity exists for non-Agency RMBS, securities underlying our securitized mortgage loans, securitized debt and SBC-MBS, periods of less liquidity or even illiquidity may also occur periodically for certain of these assets. As a result of this market dynamic and that observable market transactions may or may not exist from time to time, such instruments are categorized as Level III.

(c) Swaps and Swaptions

We determine the estimated fair value of our Swaps and Swaptions based on market valuations obtained from a third party with expertise in valuing such instruments. With respect to Swap valuations, the expected future cash flows are determined for the fixed and floating rate leg of the Swap. To arrive at the expected cash flows for the fixed leg of a Swap, the coupon rate stated in the Swap agreement is used and to arrive at the expected cash flows for the floating leg, the forward rates derived from raw yield curve data are used. Finally, both the fixed and floating legs’ cash flows are discounted using the calculated discount factors and the fixed and floating leg valuations are netted to arrive at a single valuation for the Swap at the valuation date. Swaptions require the same market inputs as Swaps with the addition of implied Swaption volatilities quoted by the market. The valuation inputs for Swaps and Swaptions are observable and, as such, their valuations are categorized as Level II in the fair value hierarchy.

(f) Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Financial assets:
Investment related receivable(1)	$	6,071	$	6,071	$	2,692	$	2,692
Warehouse line receivable(2) (3)	$	3,919	$	3,919	$	10,239	$	10,239
Mortgage loans and real estate subject to BFT Contracts under Seller Financing Program(3)	$	41,805	$	41,805	$	34,994	$	34,994
Financial liabilities:
Repurchase agreements	$	2,269,850	$	2,269,821	$	2,898,347	$	2,898,347
Investment related payable(1)	$	1,256	$	1,256	$	—	$	—

(1) Carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the item.

(2) Carrying value approximates fair value as such investment has a variable interest rate and there has been no material change in the credit-worthiness of the borrower.

(3) Carrying value approximates fair value based on the assessment that there has been no material change in value or impairment of the associated real estate.

To determine the estimated fair value of our borrowings under repurchase agreements, contractual cash flows from such borrowings are discounted at estimated market interest rates, which rates may be based upon actual transactions executed by us or indicative rates quoted by brokers. The estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amount we would realize on disposition of the financial instruments. Our borrowings under repurchase agreements had a weighted average remaining term to maturity of 38 and 51 days at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Adjustments to valuations may be made as deemed appropriate to capture market information at the valuation date. Inputs used to arrive at the fair value of our repurchase agreement borrowings are generally observable and therefore the fair value of our repurchase agreement borrowings are classified as Level II valuations in the fair value hierarchy.

(1) Actual maturities of the securities are affected by the contractual lives of the associated mortgage collateral, periodic payments of principal, prepayments of principal, and the payment priority structure of the security; therefore actual maturities are generally shorter than the stated contractual maturities of the underlying or referenced mortgages.

Our SBC-MBS generally include mortgage loans collateralized by a mix of residential multi-family (i.e., properties with five or more units), mixed use residential/commercial, small retail, office building, warehouse and other types of property. In some instances, certain mortgage loans underlying the SBC-MBS that we own may also be additionally secured by a personal guarantee from the primary principal(s) of the related business and/or borrowing entity. As part of underwriting small balance commercial loans, real estate appraisals of the underlying real estate are generally obtained at origination of the mortgage assets underlying the SBC-MBS.

(e) Other Investments

Our other investments are comprised of our warehouse line, real estate subject to BFT Contracts, and mortgage loans, all of which are associated with our Seller Financing Program.

BFT Contracts are agreements to finance the purchase of real property in which the seller provides the buyer with financing to purchase the property for an agreed-upon purchase price, and the buyer repays the loan in installments over the ensuing 20 to 30 years, depending on the term of the financing agreement. Pursuant to a BFT Contract, unlike a mortgage loan, the seller retains the legal title to the property, granting the buyer complete use of the property and requiring the buyer to maintain the property and bear the cost of property taxes. Pursuant to a BFT Contract, the seller generally conveys legal title of the property to the buyer when the full purchase price set forth in the contract has been paid, including all interest incurred through the date of final payment. All BFT Contracts purchased by us through June 30, 2016 are designated as “real estate subject to BFT Contracts” which properties, excluding land, are depreciated until such time that the criteria for sale have been met. With respect to payments we receive under BFT Contracts, we record the principal component of the buyer’s monthly payment as a deposit liability and record the interest payments we receive as interest income. In connection with our Seller Financing Program we had $292 and $230 of deposit liabilities included as a component of other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Our warehouse line receivable is secured by a pledge of substantially all the assets of the third-party borrower that owns the homes, BFT Contracts and mortgage loans during the time they are pledged on the warehouse line.

We consolidate the securitization trusts associated with our securitizations, each of which is a VIE, that were created to facilitate our securitization transactions. As part of the February 2013 Securitization, the most senior security created was sold to a third-party investor and as such, when we consolidate this securitization trust, this senior security is presented on our consolidated balance sheet as “Non-recourse securitized debt, at fair value.” Our securitized mortgage loans are restricted in that they can only be used to fulfill the obligations of their associated securitization trust. (See Note 14.)

A reduction in the value of pledged assets may result in the repurchase agreement counterparty initiating a margin call. If a margin call is made, we are required to provide additional collateral or repay a portion of the borrowing. Certain repurchase agreements, Swaps and other financial instruments are subject to financial covenants, which if breached could cause an event of default or early termination event to occur under such agreements. If an event of default or trigger of an early termination event occurs pursuant to one of these agreements, the counterparty to such agreement may have the option to terminate all of its outstanding agreements with us and, if applicable, any close-out amount due to the counterparty upon termination of such agreements would be immediately payable by us. Through June 30, 2016, we remained in compliance with all of our financial covenants. (See Notes 9 and 10.)

Note 10 – Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

All balances associated with the repurchase agreements and derivatives transactions are presented on a gross basis in our consolidated balance sheets. Certain of our repurchase agreements and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of set-off in the event of default or in the event of a bankruptcy of either party to the transaction. We do not generally take delivery of or deliver securities pursuant to our TBA Contracts; rather we settle the associated receivable/payable with our trading counterparty on a net basis. Transactions with the same counterparty for the same TBA Contract that results in a reduction or elimination of the position are treated as extinguished.

Note 11 – Derivative Instruments

We enter into derivative contracts, which through June 30, 2016 have from time to time been comprised of Swaps, Swaptions, and TBA Contracts. We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk and, as such, view them as economic hedges. We have not elected hedge accounting under GAAP for any of our derivative instruments and, as a result, the fair value adjustments on such instruments are recorded in earnings. The fair value adjustments for our derivatives, along with the related interest income, interest expense and gains/(losses) on termination of such instruments, are reported as“Realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative instruments, net” on our consolidated statements of operations.

(a) Derivative Instruments Summary

Information with respect to our derivative instruments as presented on our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was as follows:

	June 30, 2016					December 31, 2015

(f) Financial Covenants

Our agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties contain financial covenants; through June 30, 2016 we were in compliance with the terms of all such covenants. We have minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of our derivative counterparties, for which we typically pledge cash. (See Notes 9, 10 and 11.) If we breach any of these financial covenants, we could be required to settle our obligations under our derivative contracts at their termination value. At June 30, 2016, the estimated termination value of our derivative contracts was $8,580, which reflects the estimated fair value of such derivatives, plus net accrued interest payable.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Management Agreement – Related Party Transactions

In connection with our initial public offering in July 2011, we entered into a management agreement with our Manager (or, Management Agreement), which describes the services to be provided for us by our Manager and compensation for such services. Our Manager is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations, subject to the direction and oversight of our board of directors (or, the Board).

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager is paid a management fee equal to 1.5% per annum of adjusted stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), calculated and payable quarterly in arrears.

The term of our Management Agreement currently runs through July 27, 2017. Absent certain action by the independent directors of the Board, as described below, the Management Agreement will automatically renew on each anniversary for a one year term. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors, based upon (1) unsatisfactory performance by our Manager that is materially detrimental to us; or (2) a determination that the management fee payable to our Manager is not fair, subject to our Manager’s right to prevent such a termination based on unfair fees by accepting a mutually acceptable reduction of management fees agreed to by at least two-thirds of our independent directors. Our Manager must be provided with written notice of any such termination at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then existing term and will be paid a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the average annual management fee during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. (See Note 13(a), 13(c) and 18 below.)

We incurred management fees of $2,493 and $2,895 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. In addition to the management fee, we are responsible for reimbursing our Manager for certain expenses paid by our Manager on behalf of us and for certain services provided by our Manager to us. Expenses incurred by our Manager and reimbursed by us are typically included in our general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations, or may be reflected on the consolidated balance sheet and associated consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, based on the nature of the item. Included in “Payable to related party” on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $2,493 and $5,388, respectively, for management fees payable to our Manager, with the remainder of such payable reflecting reimbursements due to Apollo for our general and administrative expenses paid or incurred by them on our behalf.

(b) Representations and Warranties in Connection with Securitization

In connection with our February 2013 Securitization, we have the obligation under certain circumstances to repurchase assets from the VIE upon breach of certain representations and warranties. In February 2014, the substantial majority of these obligations expired, with only the representations and warranties surviving such obligations, which may expose us to losses, being that the loans transferred to the VIE are qualified mortgages under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Through June 30, 2016, no repurchase claims had been made against us, and we do not believe that the amount of any future potential liability with respect to such item (the maximum of which would be the current unpaid principal balance of any such loan plus accrued interest, unreimbursed advances and any expenses) is material to us. Through June 30, 2016, we had no reserve established for repurchases of loans and were not aware of any repurchase claims that would require the establishment of such a reserve. (See Note 14.)

Contingent Fees

See Note 18 for information with respect to certain contingent fees associated with the Merger Agreement.

Pending Litigation

After the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, two putative class action lawsuits challenging the proposed First Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), captioned Aivasian v. Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-16-001532 and Wiener v. Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc., et al., No. 24-C-16-001837, were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City (or, the Court). A putative class and derivative lawsuit was later filed in the Court captioned Crago v. Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc., No. 24-C-16-002610. Following a hearing on May 6, 2016, the Court entered orders among other things, consolidating the three actions under the captionIn Re Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Case No.: 24-C-16-002610. The plaintiffs have designated the Crago complaint as the operative complaint. The operative complaint includes both direct and derivative claims, names as defendants the Company, the Board, Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (or, ARI), Arrow Merger Sub, Inc. (or, Merger Sub), Apollo and Athene Holdings LTD. (or, Athene) and alleges, among other things, that the members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders and that the other corporate defendants aided and abetted such fiduciary breaches. The operative complaint further alleges, among other things, that the proposed First Merger involves inadequate consideration, was the result of an inadequate and conflicted sales process, and includes unreasonable deal protection devices that purportedly preclude competing offers. It also alleges that the transactions with Athene are unfair and that the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2016 contains materially misleading disclosures and omits certain material information. The operative complaint seeks, among other things, certification of the proposed class, declaratory relief, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, including enjoining or rescinding the First Merger, unspecified damages, and an award of other unspecified attorneys’ and other fees and costs. On May 6, 2016, counsel for the plaintiffs filed with the Court a stipulation seeking the appointment of interim co-lead counsel, which stipulation was approved by the Court on June 9, 2016. The defendants believe that the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

Note 14 – Use of Special Purpose Entities and Variable Interest Entities

Special purpose entities (or, SPEs) are entities designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the entity that organizes it. SPEs are often used to facilitate transactions that involve securitizing financial assets. The objective of such transactions may include obtaining non-recourse financing, obtaining liquidity or refinancing the underlying securitized financial assets on more favorable terms than available on such assets on an unsecuritized basis. Securitization involves transferring assets to an SPE to convert all or a portion of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business, through the SPE’s issuance of debt or equity instruments. Investors in an SPE usually have recourse only to the assets in the SPE and, depending on the overall structure of the transaction, may benefit from various forms of credit enhancement, such as over-collateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, priority with respect to receipt of cash flows relative to holders of other debt or equity instruments issued by the SPE, or a line of credit or other form of liquidity agreement that is designed with the objective of ensuring that investors receive principal and/or interest cash flow on the investment in accordance with the terms of their investment agreement.

(a) Securitization Transactions

Through June 30, 2016, we had completed two securitization transactions. We consolidate the trusts, as VIEs, that were created to facilitate the transactions and to which the underlying assets in connection with the securitizations were transferred. (See Note 2(o) for a discussion of the accounting policies applied to the consolidation of VIEs and transfers of financial assets in connection with securitization transactions.)

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of securitized mortgage loans underlying our securitizations was $160,206 and $167,624, respectively, and are included in “Securitized mortgage loans (transferred to consolidated variable interest entities), at fair value,” on our consolidated balance sheet.

The mortgage loans in our securitizations are comprised of performing, re-performing and non-performing mortgage loans with characteristics similar to the mortgage loans underlying our non-Agency RMBS.

(Dollars in thousands—except per share data)

The following table summarizes the key details of our securitization transactions as of June 30, 2016:

	March 2015 Securitization			February 2013 Securitization			Total
Name of securitization trust consolidated as a VIE		AMST 2015-1			AMST 2013-1
Principal value of mortgage loans sold into the securitization trust	$	90,802		$	155,001		$	245,803
Current principal value of mortgage loans in securitization trust	$	80,938		$	119,201		$	200,139
Face amount of senior security issued by the VIE and sold to a third-party investor	$	—		$	50,375		$	50,375
Outstanding balance of senior security at June 30, 2016(1)	$	72,598		$	13,382		$	85,980
Year of final contractual maturity of senior debt		2058			2047
Face/Par value of certificates received by us(2)	$	82,287		$	104,426		$	186,713
Cash received upon sale of the senior security sold to third-party investor	$	—		$	50,375		$	50,375
Gross securitization expenses incurred	$	174		$	829		$	1,003
Stated interest rate for senior security issued		5.75	%		4.00	%

(1) With respect to the March 2015 Securitization, amount reflects 100% of the single security issued, which we retained. The stated rate is presented for informational purposes only, as such certificate is eliminated in consolidation with the associated trust.

(2) With respect to our February 2013 Securitization, the certificates we received are subordinate to and provide credit support for the sequential senior security sold to a third-party investor. While the RMBS that we retained in connection with February 2013 Securitization do not appear on our balance sheet, as they are eliminated in consolidation with the VIE/securitization trust, we legally own such securities and we, as legally permitted, pledge such securities as collateral against associated borrowings under repurchase agreements.

(b) Consolidation Assessment

On a quarterly basis, we complete an analysis to determine whether the VIEs associated with our securitizations should be consolidated by us. As part of this analysis, we consider our involvement in the creation of the VIE, including the design and purpose of the VIE and whether our involvement reflects a controlling financial interest that results in us being deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. In determining whether we would be considered the primary beneficiary, we consider: (i) whether we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and (ii) whether we have a right to receive benefits or absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. Based on our evaluation of these factors, including our involvement in the design of the VIE, we determined that we were required to consolidate the VIE created to facilitate the March 2015 Securitization and February 2013 Securitization for each reporting period from inception through June 30, 2016.

(c) Activities of Securitization Trusts

The securitization trusts receive principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans and distribute those payments to the certificate holders. The assets and other instruments held by the securitization trusts are restricted in that they can only be used to fulfill the obligations of their respective securitization trust. The risks associated with our involvement with the VIEs are limited to the risks and rights as a certificate holder of the securities we retained.

The activities of the securitization trusts are substantially set forth in the securitization transaction documents, primarily the mortgage loan trust agreements, the trust agreements, the indenture and the securitization servicing agreements (or collectively, the Securitization Agreements). Neither the trusts nor any other entity may sell or replace any assets of the trust except in connection with: (i) certain loan defects or breaches of certain representations and warranties which have a material adverse effect on the value of the related assets; (ii) loan defaults; (iii) certain trust events of default or (iv) an optional termination of the trust, each as specifically permitted under the Securitization Agreements.

(d) Securitized Debt

We consolidate the underlying trust associated with our February 2013 Securitization. As a result, the senior security that was sold to a third-party investor is presented on our consolidated balance sheet as “Non-recourse securitized debt, at fair value” and the residential mortgage loans held by the trust that collateralize the securities issued by the trust are included as a component of “Securitized mortgage loans (transferred to consolidated variable interest entities), at fair value” on our consolidated balance sheet. The third-party beneficial interest holders in the VIE have no recourse against us, except that we may have an obligation to repurchase assets from the VIE in the event that we breach certain representations and warranties in relation to the mortgage loans sold to the VIE. Other than the foregoing, we have no obligation to provide, nor have we provided, any other explicit or implicit support to this or any other VIE that we consolidate.

Our securitized debt is carried at fair value, which is based on the fair value of the senior security held by third parties. The following table presents the estimated principal repayment schedule of the par value of the securitized debt at June 30, 2016, based on expected cash flows of the securitized residential mortgage loans, as adjusted for projected losses on such loans.

Estimated Maturity	June 30, 2016
One year or less	$	9,913
More than one year, up to and including three years		3,469
Total	$	13,382

Repayment of our securitized debt will be dependent upon the cash flows generated by the mortgage loans in the February 2013 Securitization trust that collateralize such debt. The actual cash flows from the securitized mortgage loans are comprised of coupon interest, scheduled principal payments, prepayments and liquidations of the underlying mortgage loans. The actual term of the securitized debt may differ significantly from our estimate given that actual interest collections, mortgage prepayments and/or losses on liquidation of mortgages may differ significantly from those expected. (See Note 5 for more information about the mortgage loans collateralizing our securitized debt.)

Note 15 – Equity Award Plan

On July 21, 2011, the Board approved the Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (or, LTIP). The LTIP provides for grants of restricted common stock, RSUs and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (on a fully diluted basis). The LTIP is administered by the compensation committee of the Board, which also must approve grants made under the LTIP. At June 30, 2016, 1,183,081 awards were available for grant under the LTIP.

The following table presents expenses related to our equity-based compensation awards for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Restricted Common Stock	$	71	$	105	$	130	$	211
RSUs		123		198		172		586
Total	$	194	$	303	$	302	$	797

At June 30, 2016, we had estimated unrecognized compensation expense of $1,898 and $498 related to RSUs and restricted common stock, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2016 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of twelve months, which does not include awards that have performance based vesting requirements. However, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all outstanding unvested RSUs and restricted stock awards will vest upon consummation of the pending Merger. As of June 30, 2016, we had an expected average forfeiture rate of 0% with respect to restricted common stock and 5% with respect to RSUs.

Through June 30, 2016, we had not settled any RSUs in cash. However, the LTIP provides that we may allow RSU recipients to elect to settle their tax liabilities with a reduction of their share delivery from the originally granted and vested RSUs, which is referred to herein as “net share settlement.” Net share settlement results in us making a cash payment to an affiliate of our Manager related to this tax liability and a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in-capital.

(b) Preferred Stock

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had outstanding 6,900,000 shares of 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (or, Preferred Stock) with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and a par value $0.01 per share. Holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of 8.0% of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, or $2.00 per share per annum. These dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. Generally, we may not redeem the Preferred Stock until September 20, 2017, except under certain limited circumstances intended to preserve our qualification as a REIT and upon the occurrence of a change in control as defined in the final prospectus supplement related to the Preferred Stock filed with the SEC on September 17, 2012. After September 20, 2017, we may, at our option, redeem the shares at a redemption price of $25.00, plus any accrued unpaid distribution through the date of the redemption. Based upon the characteristics of the Preferred Stock, such instruments are characterized as equity instruments.

The Preferred Stock generally has no voting rights. However, if dividends on the Preferred Stock are in arrears for six quarterly dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class with the holders of any other class or series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will have the right to elect two additional directors to the Board until we pay (or declare and set aside for payment) all dividends that are then in arrears. In addition, the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class with the holders of any other class or series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) is required for us to authorize, create or increase the number of any class or series of senior equity securities or to amend our charter (including the Articles Supplementary designating the Preferred Stock, or the Articles Supplementary) in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Preferred Stock.

(c) Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan

On November 25, 2015, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 (or, the Securities Act), for the purpose of registering additional common stock for sale through our Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (or, Stock Purchase Plan). This shelf registration statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 18, 2015, when combined with the unused portion of our previous Stock Purchase Plan shelf registration statement, registered an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock. At June 30, 2016, 2,000,000 shares of common stock remained available for issuance pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan registration statement. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, stockholders who participate may purchase shares of our common stock directly from us. Stockholders may also automatically reinvest all or a portion of their dividends for additional shares of our stock. Through June 30, 2016, all shares issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan were issued from shares purchased on the open market.

(d) Stock Repurchase Program

On November 6, 2013, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program (or, the Repurchase Program), to repurchase up to $50,000 of our outstanding common stock. Such authorization does not have an expiration date. Subject to applicable securities laws, repurchases of common stock under the Repurchase Program may be made at times and in amounts as we deem appropriate, using available cash resources. Shares of common stock repurchased by us under the Repurchase Program, if any, will be canceled and, until reissued by us, will be deemed to be authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued by us at any time and without prior notice. We repurchased 360,800 shares of common stock at an average cost per share of $13.86, all of which were purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016, $45,000 of common stock remained authorized for future share repurchase under the Repurchase Program.

(1) For the six months ended June 30, 2016, all outstanding RSUs and unvested restricted stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. These instruments may have dilutive impact on future EPS.

Note 18 – Merger Agreement

(a) Merger Agreement

On February 26, 2016, we entered into a Merger Agreement, under which we will be acquired by ARI for an aggregate purchase price equal to 89.25% of AMTG’s book value as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement (or, Book Value) as of July 22, 2016 (or, the Pricing Date Book Value), plus the assumption of $172,500 of AMTG’s Preferred Stock. AMTG’s Pricing Date Book Value, and therefore the actual purchase price payable, was determined as of the July 22, 2016 pricing date and will be subject to adjustment in the event that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not occur by September 5, 2016. The aggregate number of shares of ARI common stock issuable under the Merger Agreement is limited to 13,400,000 shares at a value of $16.75 per share, and the remainder of the consideration will be paid in cash. Based upon the Pricing Date Book Value of $15.52 per share, upon closing of the merger transaction, each outstanding share of AMTG common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i) $6.86 in cash, without interest and (ii) 0.417571 shares of ARI common stock, reflecting an aggregate purchase price value of $616,151, based upon the closing price of ARI common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or, NYSE) on July 22, 2016, including the assumption of the $172,500 (liquidation preference) of our Preferred Stock; provided, however that the cash portion of the merger consideration may be subject to certain adjustments, as discussed above. In addition, each share of AMTG Preferred Stock will be converted into one share of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of a newly-designated series of ARI preferred stock, which is expected to be designated as8.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock.

The Merger Agreement and related transactions were approved by all of the members of the Board (with the exception of Mark Biderman, who recused himself) upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors of our Board. Consummation of the merger transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the registration and listing of the shares of ARI stock that will be issued in the merger transaction and the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the shares of AMTG common stock entitled to vote on the transaction, including a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by persons unaffiliated with Apollo. ARI stockholder approval is not required in connection with the Merger. On July 27, 2016, we filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC and mailed such statement to our stockholders and ARI filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed transaction. The proxy statement/prospectus contains additional information regarding the proposed transaction, including risks associated with the proposed transaction.

(b) Letter Agreement with Manager

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a side letter agreement with our Manager (or, the Side Letter), pursuant to which the Manager agreed to perform such services and activities as may be necessary to enable us to consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, our Manager acknowledged that, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Management Agreement will be assigned to ARI and such assignment will not give rise to a termination fee under the Management Agreement.
