ORGANIZATION	'
	1. ORGANIZATION
	New Residential Investment Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “New Residential”) is a Delaware corporation that was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 for the purpose of making real estate related investments and commenced operations on December 8, 2011. On December 20, 2012, New Residential was converted to a corporation. Newcastle Investment Corp. (“Newcastle”) was the sole stockholder of New Residential until the spin-off (Note 13), which was completed on May 15, 2013. Newcastle is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NCT.”
	Following the spin-off, New Residential is an independent publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) primarily focused on investing in residential mortgage related assets. New Residential is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NRZ.”
	New Residential intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the tax year ending December 31, 2013. As such, New Residential will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements.
	New Residential has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with FIG LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), under which the Manager advises New Residential on various aspects of its business and manages its day-to-day operations, subject to the supervision of New Residential’s board of directors. For its services, the Manager is entitled to management fees and incentive compensation, both defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement. For a further discussion of the Management Agreement, see Note 15. The Manager also manages Newcastle and investment funds that own a majority of Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”), a leading residential mortgage servicer, and Springleaf Holdings, Inc. (“Springleaf”), managing member of the Consumer Loan Companies (Note 9).
	As of December 31, 2013, New Residential conducted its business through the following segments: (i) investments in Excess MSRs, (ii) investments in servicer advances, (iii) investments in real estate securities, (iv) investments in real estate loans, (v) investments in consumer loans and (vi) corporate.
	Approximately 5.3 million shares of New Residential’s common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, and its principals as of December 31, 2013. In addition, Fortress, through its affiliates, held options to purchase approximately 17.7 million shares of New Residential’s common stock as of December 31, 2013.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	'
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Accounting — The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP’’). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Residential and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. New Residential consolidates those entities in which it has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity, as well as those entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which New Residential is determined to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. For entities over which New Residential exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, New Residential uses the equity method of accounting whereby it records its share of the underlying income of such entities.
	New Residential’s investments in Non-Agency RMBS are variable interests. New Residential monitors these investments and analyzes the potential need to consolidate the related securitization entities pursuant to the VIE consolidation requirements. New Residential has not consolidated the securitization entities that issued its Non-Agency RMBS. This determination is based, in part, on New Residential’s assessment that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities, such as through ownership of a majority of the currently controlling class. In addition, New Residential is not obligated to provide, and has not provided, any financial support to these entities.
	Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than New Residential. These interests are related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities that hold New Residential’s investment in servicer advances (Note 6).
	The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to May 15, 2013 have been prepared on a spin-off basis from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Newcastle and reflect New Residential’s historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, New Residential did not have any cash balance during periods prior to April 5, 2013, which is the first date Newcastle contributed cash to New Residential. All of its cash activity occurred in Newcastle’s accounts during these periods. The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to May 15, 2013 do not necessarily reflect what New Residential’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had New Residential operated as an independent company prior to the spin-off.
	Certain expenses of Newcastle, comprised primarily of a portion of its management fee, have been allocated to New Residential to the extent they were directly associated with New Residential for periods prior to the spin-off on May 15, 2013. The portion of the management fee allocated to New Residential prior to the spin-off represents the product of the management fee rate payable by Newcastle (1.5%) and New Residential’s gross equity, which management believes is a reasonable method for quantifying the expense of the services provided by the employees of the Manager to New Residential. The incremental cost of certain legal, accounting and other expenses related to New Residential’s operations prior to May 15, 2013 are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. New Residential and Newcastle do not share any expenses following the spin-off.
	Risks and Uncertainties — In the normal course of business, New Residential encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on New Residential’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in prepayment speeds, interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including risks that impact the value of the collateral underlying New Residential’s investments. Management believes that the carrying values of its investments are reasonable taking into consideration these risks along with estimated prepayments, financings, collateral values, payment histories, and other information. Furthermore, for each of the periods presented, a significant portion of New Residential’s assets are dependent on Nationstar’s ability to perform its obligations as the servicer of residential mortgage loans underlying New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs, servicer advances, Non-Agency RMBS and residential mortgage loans. If Nationstar is terminated as the servicer, New Residential’s right to receive its portion of the cash flows related to interests in MSRs is also terminated. New Residential is similarly dependent on Springleaf as the servicer of the loans underlying its investment in the Consumer Loan Companies (Note 9).
	Additionally, New Residential is subject to significant tax risks. If New Residential were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, New Residential would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, New Residential would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost.
	Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Comprehensive Income — Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. For New Residential’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale.
	INCOME RECOGNITION
	Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights (“Excess MSRs”) — Excess MSRs are aggregated into pools as applicable; each pool of Excess MSRs is accounted for in the aggregate. Interest income for Excess MSRs is accreted into interest income on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon the expected excess mortgage servicing amount through the expected life of the underlying mortgages. Changes to expected cash flows result in a cumulative retrospective adjustment, which will be recorded in the period in which the change in expected cash flows occurs. Under the retrospective method, the interest income recognized for a reporting period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis at the end of the period and the amortized cost basis at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period. The amortized cost basis is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimated future cash flows to the initial investment. In addition, New Residential’s policy is to recognize interest income only on its Excess MSRs in existing eligible underlying mortgages. The difference between the fair value of Excess MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded as “Change in fair value of investments in excess mortgage servicing rights.” Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the Excess MSRs, and therefore may differ from their effective yields.
	Investments in Servicer Advances (“Servicer Advances”) — New Residential accounts for its investments in Servicer Advances similarly to its investments in Excess MSRs. Interest income for Servicer Advances is accreted into interest income on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon the expected aggregate cash flows of the servicer advances, including the basic fee component of the related MSR (but excluding any Excess MSR component) through the expected life of the underlying mortgages, net of a portion of the basic fee component of the MSR that New Residential remits to Nationstar as compensation for Nationstar’s servicing activities. Changes to expected cash flows result in a cumulative retrospective adjustment, which will be recorded in the period in which the change in expected cash flows occurs. Refer to “—Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights” for a description of the retrospective method. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the Servicer Advances, and therefore may differ from their effective yields.
	Interest income recognized by New Residential related to its investment in Servicer Advances for the year ended December 31, 2013 was comprised of the following:
	Interest income, gross of amounts attributable to servicer compensation		$	6,708
	Amounts attributable to servicer compensation			(2,287	)
	Interest income		$	4,421
	Investments in Real Estate Securities — Discounts or premiums are accreted into interest income on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon a comparison of actual and expected cash flows, through the expected maturity date of the security. For securities acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted (non-accretable difference).
	Depending on the nature of the investment, changes to expected cash flows may result in a prospective change to yield or a retrospective change which would include a catch up adjustment. Deferred fees and costs, if any, are recognized as a reduction to the interest income over the terms of the securities using the interest method. Upon settlement of securities, the excess (or deficiency) of net proceeds over the net carrying value of such security is recognized as a gain (or loss) in the period of settlement.
	Investments in Residential Mortgage Loans — Income on these loans is recognized similarly to that on securities using a level yield methodology. For loans acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted (non-accretable difference).
	Impairment of Securities and Loans — New Residential continually evaluates securities and loans for impairment. Securities and loans are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”), for financial reporting purposes, generally when it is probable that New Residential will be unable to collect all principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the original agreements, or for securities or loans purchased at a discount for credit quality or that represent retained beneficial interests in securitizations when New Residential determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect as anticipated. The evaluation of a security’s or loan’s estimated cash flows includes the following, as applicable: (i) review of the credit of the issuer or borrower, (ii) review of the credit rating of the security, (iii) review of the key terms of the security or loan, (iv) review of the performance of the loan or underlying loans, including debt service coverage and loan to value ratios, (v) analysis of the value of the collateral for the loan or underlying loans, (vi) analysis of the effect of local, industry and broader economic factors, and (vii) analysis of historical and anticipated trends in defaults, loss severities and prepayments for similar securities or loans. Furthermore, New Residential must record a write down if it has the intent to sell a given security in an unrealized loss position, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell such a security. Upon determination of impairment, New Residential establishes specific valuation allowances for loans or records a direct write down for securities based on the estimated fair value of the security or underlying collateral using a discounted cash flow analysis or based on an observable market value. New Residential also establishes allowances for estimated unidentified incurred losses on pools of loans. The allowance for each loan is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses, based on periodic reviews of actual and expected losses. It is New Residential’s policy to establish an allowance for uncollectible interest on performing securities or loans that are past due more than 90 days or sooner when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. Upon such a determination, those securities or loans are deemed to be non-performing and put on nonaccrual status. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting loss allowance, and actual losses may differ from New Residential’s estimates. New Residential may resume accrual of income on a loan or security if, in management’s opinion, full collection is probable. Subsequent to a determination of impairment, and a related write down, income is accrued on an effective yield method from the new carrying value to the related expected cash flows, with cash received treated as a reduction of basis.
	Accretion of Discount and Other Amortization — As reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows, this item is comprised of the following:
			Year Ended
			December 31,
			2013			2012
	Accretion of net discount on securities and loans		$	14,676		$	5,339
	Amortization of deferred financing costs			(768	)		—
			$	13,908		$	5,339
	Other Income — This item is comprised of the following:
			Year Ended December 31,
			2013			2012
	Other income
	Gain (loss) on non-hedge derivative instruments		$	1,820		$	—
	Other income (loss)			—			8,400
			$	1,820		$	8,400
	On May 14, 2012, New Residential entered into definitive agreements to co-invest in Excess MSRs related to mortgage servicing rights that Nationstar proposed to acquire from Residential Capital, LLC and related entities (“ResCap”) in an auction conducted as part of ResCap’s bankruptcy proceedings. The auction commenced on October 23, 2012, and Nationstar did not submit the highest bid on October 24, 2012. Therefore, New Residential did not complete this co-investment and was entitled to its portion of the breakup fee of approximately $8.4 million, which was recorded as other income for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	EXPENSE RECOGNITION
	Interest Expense — New Residential finances certain investments using floating rate repurchase agreements and loans. Interest is expensed as incurred.
	General and Administrative Expenses — General and administrative expenses, including legal fees, audit fees, insurance premiums, and other costs and are expensed as incurred.
	Management Fee and Incentive Compensation to Affiliate — These represent amounts due to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. For further information on the Management Agreement, see Note 15.
	BALANCE SHEET MEASUREMENT
	Investments in Servicing Related Assets — Servicing Related Assets consist of New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs and Servicer Advances. Upon acquisition, New Residential has elected to record each of such investments at fair value. New Residential elected to record its investments at fair value in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors on Servicing Related Assets. Under this election, New Residential records a valuation adjustment on its investments in Servicing Related Assets on a quarterly basis to recognize the changes in fair value in net income as described in “Income Recognition — Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights” and “Income Recognition — Investments in Servicer Advances.”
	Investments in Real Estate Securities — New Residential has classified its investments in securities as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at market value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent impairment losses are considered temporary. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the amortized cost of the specific investments and is included in earnings. Unrealized losses on securities are charged to earnings if they reflect a decline in value that is other-than-temporary.
	Investments in Residential Mortgage Loans — Residential mortgage loans are presented at cost net of any unamortized discount (or gross of any unamortized premium), including any fees received, and an allowance for loan losses. New Residential determines at acquisition whether loans will be aggregated into pools based on common risk characteristics (credit quality, loan type, and date of origination or acquisition); loans aggregated into pools are accounted for as if each pool were a single loan. Loans which New Residential does not have the intent or the ability to hold into the foreseeable future are considered held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of average amortized cost or market value. Loans for which New Residential has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are classified as held-for-investment. Other loans are classified as held-for-sale and recorded at the lower of their amortized cost basis or fair value. New Residential discontinues the accretion of discounts on loans if they are reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale. To the extent that the loans are classified as held-for-investment, New Residential periodically evaluates such loans for possible impairment as described in “—Impairment of Securities and Loans.”
	Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — New Residential considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. New Residential held $33.3 million of restricted cash related to the financing of the servicer advances (Note 6) that has been pledged to the note holders for interest and fees payable.
	Derivatives — New Residential financed certain investments with the same counterparty from which it purchased those investments, and accounts for the contemporaneous purchase of the investments and the associated financings as linked transactions. Accordingly, New Residential records a non-hedge derivative instrument on a net basis, with changes in market value recorded as “Other Income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, New Residential presents the linked transactions on a gross basis with the related asset purchased reflected as an investment activity and the related financing as a financing activity.
	Income Taxes — New Residential operates so as to qualify as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Requirements for qualification as a REIT include various restrictions on ownership of New Residential’s stock, requirements concerning distribution of taxable income and certain restrictions on the nature of assets and sources of income. A REIT must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders of which 85% plus any undistributed amounts from the prior year must be distributed within the taxable year in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax. Distribution of the remaining balance may extend until timely filing of New Residential’s tax return in the subsequent taxable year. Qualifying distributions of taxable income are deductible by a REIT in computing taxable income.
	Certain activities of New Residential are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and therefore are subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases upon the change in tax status. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	New Residential recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations.
	Other Assets and Other Liabilities — Other assets and liabilities are comprised of the following:
			Other Assets						Other Liabilities
			December 31,						December 31,
			2013			2012			2013		2012
	Margin receivable (A)		$	40,132		$	—	Interest payable	$	4,010	$	55
	Interest and other receivables			7,548			84	Accounts payable		2,829		348
	Deferred financing costs (B)			5,541			—	Other		18		59
	Accumulated amortization			(768	)		—		$	6,857	$	462
	Other			689			—
			$	53,142		$	84
	(A)	Margin receivable represents amounts due to New Residential from counterparties resulting from changes in the counterparties’ estimated value of the underlying collateral of New Residential’s financed investments resulting from market fluctuations and principal paydowns. Brief periods of time may lapse between the time New Residential pays, or receives, margin from one counterparty relative to other counterparties.
	(B)	Deferred financing costs consist primarily of costs incurred in obtaining financing, which are amortized into interest expense over the term of the financing generally using the effective interest method.
	Repurchase Agreements and Notes Payable — New Residential’s repurchase agreements and notes payable are generally short-term debt that expire within one year. Such agreements and notes payable are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified by each repurchase or financing agreement, and generally treated as collateralized financing transactions.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The new guidance does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, it requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the item reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety during the same reporting period. Presentation should occur either on the face of the income statement where net income is presented, or in the notes to the financial statements. New Residential has adopted this accounting standard. Refer to Note 16 for this presentation.
The FASB has recently issued or discussed a number of proposed standards on such topics as consolidation, financial statement presentation, revenue recognition, financial instruments, hedging, and contingencies. Some of the proposed changes are significant and could have a material impact on New Residential’s reporting. New Residential has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact of these proposals, but will make such an evaluation as the standards are finalized.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
SEGMENT REPORTING	'
	3. SEGMENT REPORTING
	New Residential conducts its business through the following segments: (i) investments in Excess MSRs, (ii) investments in servicer advances, (iii) investments in real estate securities, (iv) investments in real estate loans, (v) investments in consumer loans and (vi) corporate. The corporate segment consists primarily of (i) general and administrative expenses, (ii) the allocation of management fees by Newcastle until the spin-off on May 15, 2013, (iii) the management fees and incentive compensation owed to the Manager by New Residential following the spin-off, (iv) corporate cash and related interest income and (v) the secured corporate loan and related interest expense.
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, New Residential determined that its investments in real estate loans represented a separate reportable segment due to New Residential’s increased focus on this previously immaterial business line. As a result, the real estate loans segment was disaggregated from the real estate securities segment for all periods presented.
	Summary financial data on New Residential’s segments is given below, together with a reconciliation to the same data for New Residential as a whole:

	4. INVESTMENTS IN EXCESS MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS AT FAIR VALUE
	Pool 1. On December 13, 2011, Newcastle announced the completion of the first co-investment between New Residential and Nationstar in Excess MSRs related to mortgage servicing rights acquired by Nationstar. New Residential invested approximately $43.7 million to acquire a 65% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) residential mortgage loans (“Pool 1”). Nationstar has co-invested on a pari passu basis with New Residential in 35% of the Excess MSRs and is the servicer of the loans, performing all servicing and advancing functions, and retaining the ancillary income, the servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations.
	Pool 2. On June 5, 2012, Newcastle announced the completion of a co-investment between New Residential and Nationstar in Excess MSRs related to mortgage servicing rights Nationstar acquired from Bank of America. New Residential invested approximately $42.3 million to acquire a 65% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of residential mortgage loans (“Pool 2”), comprised of loans in GSE pools. Nationstar has co-invested on a pari passu basis with New Residential in 35% of the Excess MSRs and is the servicer of the loans, performing all servicing and advancing functions, and retaining the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations.
	Pools 3, 4 and 5. On June 29, 2012, Newcastle announced the completion of a co-investment between New Residential and Nationstar in Excess MSRs related to mortgage servicing rights Nationstar acquired from Aurora Bank FSB, a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bancorp Inc. New Residential invested approximately $176.5 million to acquire a 65% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of residential mortgage loans, comprised of approximately 25% conforming loans in Fannie Mae (“Pool 3”) and Freddie Mac (“Pool 4”) GSE pools as well as approximately 75% non-conforming loans in private label securitizations (“Pool 5”). Nationstar had co-invested on a pari passu basis with New Residential in 35% of the Excess MSRs and is the servicer of the loans, performing all servicing and advancing functions, and retaining the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. In September 2013, New Residential invested an additional $26.6 million to acquire an additional 15% interest in the Excess MSRs related to Pool 5 from Nationstar. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations. In December 2013, New Residential entered into a corporate loan secured by the Excess MSRs related to Pool 5 (Note 11).
	Pool 11. On May 20, 2013, New Residential entered into an excess spread agreement with Nationstar to purchase a two-thirds interest in the Excess MSRs on a portion of the loans in the pool which are eligible to be refinanced by a specific third party for a period of time for $2.4 million, with Nationstar retaining the remaining one-third interest in the Excess MSRs and all servicing rights. After this period expired, Nationstar acquired the ability to refinance all of the loans in the pool. See Note 5 for information on New Residential’s other agreements with Nationstar with respect to Excess MSRs on Pool 11.
	Pool 12. On September 23, 2013, New Residential invested approximately $17.4 million to acquire a 40% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of residential mortgage loans (“Pool 12”), comprised of loans in private label securitizations. Fortress-managed funds also acquired a 40% interest in the Excess MSRs and the remaining 20% interest in the Excess MSRs is owned by Nationstar. Nationstar performs all servicing and advancing functions, and it retains the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential, the Fortress-managed funds and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations.
	Pool 18. In the fourth quarter of 2013, New Residential invested approximately $17.0 million to acquire a 40% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of residential mortgage loans (“Pool 18”) comprised of loans in private label securitizations. Fortress-managed funds also acquired a 40% interest in the Excess MSRs and the remaining 20% interest in the Excess MSR is owned by Nationstar.
	Nationstar performs all servicing and advancing functions and it retains the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with the portfolio as the servicer. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential, the Fortress-managed funds and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations. New Residential, through co-investments made by its subsidiaries, has separately agreed to purchase the servicer advances and the right to certain other cash flows associated with this portfolio. See Note 6 for information on New Residential’s investment in servicer advances with respect to Pool 18.
	As described above, New Residential has entered into a “Recapture Agreement” in each of the Excess MSR investments to date, including those Excess MSR investments made through investments in joint ventures (Note 5). Under the Recapture Agreements, New Residential is generally entitled to a pro rata interest in the Excess MSRs on any initial or subsequent refinancing by Nationstar of a loan in the original portfolio. These Recapture Agreements do not apply to New Residential’s investments in servicer advances (Note 6).
	New Residential elected to record its investments in Excess MSRs at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors on the Excess MSRs.
	The following is a summary of New Residential’s direct investments in Excess MSRs:

Geographic concentrations of investments expose New Residential to the risk of economic downturns within the relevant states. Any such downturn in a state where New Residential holds significant investments could affect the underlying borrower’s ability to make mortgage payments and therefore could have a meaningful, negative impact on the Excess MSRs.

	During the year ended December 31, 2013, New Residential entered into investments in joint ventures (“Excess MSR joint ventures”) jointly controlled by New Residential and Fortress-managed funds investing in Excess MSRs. New Residential elected to record these investments at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors.
	Pool 6. On January 4, 2013, New Residential, through a joint venture, co-invested in Excess MSRs on a portfolio of Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) residential mortgage loans (“Pool 6”). Nationstar acquired the related servicing rights from Bank of America in November 2012. New Residential contributed approximately $28.9 million for a 50% interest in a joint venture which acquired an approximately 67% interest in the Excess MSRs on this portfolio. The remaining interests in the joint venture are owned by a Fortress-managed fund and the remaining interest of approximately 33% in the Excess MSRs is owned by Nationstar. Nationstar performs all servicing and advancing functions, and it retains the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by the joint venture and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations.
	Pools 7, 8, 9, 10. On January 6, 2013, New Residential, through joint ventures, agreed to co-invest in Excess MSRs on a portfolio of four pools of residential mortgage loans Nationstar acquired from Bank of America. At the time of acquisition, approximately 53% of the loans in this portfolio were in private label securitizations (“Pool 10”) and the remainder were owned, insured or guaranteed by Fannie Mae (“Pool 7”), Freddie Mac (“Pool 8”) or Ginnie Mae (“Pool 9”). New Residential committed to invest approximately $340 million for a 50% interest in joint ventures which were expected to acquire an approximately 67% interest in the Excess MSRs on these portfolios. The remaining interests in the joint ventures are owned by Fortress-managed funds and the remaining interest of approximately 33% in the Excess MSRs is owned by Nationstar. In September 2013, New Residential and a Fortress-managed fund each invested an additional $13.9 million into the joint venture invested in Pool 10 to acquire an additional 10% in the Excess MSRs held by the joint venture. Nationstar performs all servicing and advancing functions, and it retains the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. New Residential, through co-investments made by its subsidiaries, have separately agreed to purchase the servicer advances and the right to certain other cash flows associated with Pool 10. See Note 6 for information on New Residential’s investment in servicer advances. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by the joint ventures and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations.
	Pool 11. On May 20, 2013, New Residential acquired, through a joint venture, an interest in Excess MSRs from Nationstar on a portfolio of Freddie Mac residential mortgage loans (“Pool 11”). New Residential has invested approximately $37.8 million for a 50% interest in a joint venture which acquired an approximately 67% interest in the Excess MSRs on this portfolio. The remaining interests in the joint venture are owned by a Fortress-managed fund and the remaining interest of approximately 33% in the Excess MSR is owned by Nationstar. Nationstar performs all servicing and advancing functions, and it retains the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities associated with this portfolio as the servicer. Under the terms of this investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are included in the portfolio, subject to certain limitations. See Note 4 for information on New Residential’s other agreements with respect to Pool 11.

6. INVESTMENTS IN SERVICER ADVANCES

On December 17, 2013, New Residential and third-party co-investors, through a joint venture entity (the “Buyer”) consolidated by New Residential, agreed to purchase $3.2 billion of outstanding servicer advances on a portfolio of loans, which is a subset of the same portfolio of loans in which New Residential invests in a portion of the Excess MSR (Pools 10, 17 and 18) (Notes 4 and 5), including the basic fee component of the related MSRs. As of December 31, 2013, New Residential and third-party co-investors had settled $2.7 billion of servicer advances, financed with $2.4 billion of notes payable (Note 11). A taxable wholly owned subsidiary of New Residential is the managing member of the Buyer that holds its investments in servicer advances and owned an approximately 32% interest in the Buyer as of December 31, 2013. Noncontrolling third-party investors owning the remaining interest in the Buyer have aggregate capital commitments to the Buyer of $247.6 million, which were fully funded as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, New Residential had capital commitments to the Buyer of $172.4 million, of which it had funded $115.7 million. The Buyer may call capital up to the commitment amount on unfunded commitments and recall capital to the extent the Buyer makes distributions to the co-investors, including New Residential. Neither the third-party co-investors nor New Residential is obligated to fund amounts in excess of their respective capital commitments, regardless of the capital requirements of the Buyer that holds it investments in servicer advances.

The Buyer has purchased servicer advances from Nationstar, is required to purchase all future servicer advances made with respect to these pools from Nationstar, and receives cash flows from advance recoveries and the basic fee component of the related MSRs, net of compensation paid back to Nationstar in consideration of Nationstar’s servicing activities. The compensation paid to Nationstar is approximately 8.6% of the basic fee component of the related MSRs plus a performance fee that represents a portion (up to 100%) of the cash flows in excess of those required for the Buyer to obtain a specified return on its equity.

New Residential elected to record its investments in servicer advances, including the right to the basic fee component of the related MSRs, at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of market factors.

The following is a summary of the investments in servicer advances, including the right to the basic fee component of the related MSRs, made by the Buyer, which New Residential consolidates:

	During 2013, New Residential acquired $1.3 billion face amount of Non-Agency RMBS for approximately $835.6 million and $608.9 million face amount of Agency ARM RMBS for approximately $645.5 million. In addition, Newcastle contributed $1.0 billion face amount of Agency ARM RMBS to New Residential during 2013, prior to the spin-off (Note 13). New Residential sold $729.7 million face amount of Non-Agency RMBS for approximately $521.9 million and recorded a gain of $52.7 million.
	During the third quarter of 2013, Nationstar exercised their cleanup call option related to four Non-Agency RMBS deals, in which Nationstar was the master servicer. New Residential owned $2.6 million face amount of Non-Agency RMBS in these deals. New Residential received par on these securities, which had an amortized cost basis of $2.1 million prior to the repayment, and recorded interest income of $0.6 million related to these securities in the third quarter of 2013.
	The following is a summary of New Residential’s real estate securities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, all of which are classified as available-for-sale and are, therefore, reported at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income, except for securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired.

This excludes the ratings of two non-agency bonds with a face amount of $6.3 million for which New Residential was unable to obtain rating information. For each security rated by multiple rating agencies, the lowest rating is used. New Residential used an implied AAA rating for the Agency ARM RMBS. Ratings provided were determined by third party rating agencies, represent the most recent credit ratings available as of the reporting date and may not be current.
	(C)	The weighted average life is based on the timing of expected principal reduction on the assets.
	(D)	Percentage of the outstanding face amount of securities and residual interests that is subordinate to New Residential’s investments.

	(F)	Amortized cost basis and carrying value include principal receivable of $10.6 million.
	(G)	The total outstanding face amount was $6.6 million for fixed rate securities and $2.2 billion for floating rate securities.
	Unrealized losses that are considered other-than-temporary are recognized currently in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2013, New Residential recorded OTTI of $5.0 million, of which $3.8 million was recorded with respect to real estate securities included in the spin-off on May 15, 2013. Based on Newcastle management’s analysis of these securities, Newcastle determined it did not have the intent to hold the securities past May 15, 2013. New Residential has also recorded OTTI of $1.0 million with respect to real estate securities sold in January 2014 that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2013 since New Residential determined that it did not have the intent to hold the securities, as well as $0.3 million with respect to expected credit loss related to real estate securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2013, based on management’s analysis of expected cash flows of these securities. Any remaining unrealized losses on New Residential’s securities were primarily the result of changes in market factors, rather than issuer-specific credit impairment. New Residential performed analyses in relation to such securities, using management’s best estimate of their cash flows, which support its belief that the carrying values of such securities were fully recoverable over their expected holding period. New Residential has no intent to sell, and is not more likely than not to be required to sell, these securities.

	(B)	The rating of securities in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months excludes the rating of one bond for which New Residential was unable to obtain rating information.
	New Residential performed an assessment of all of its debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position (unrealized loss position exists when a security’s amortized cost basis, excluding the effect of OTTI, exceeds its fair value) and determined the following:

	(A)	This amount is required to be recorded as other-than-temporary impairment through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, New Residential’s management estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows include management’s expectations of prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses are measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate.
	(B)	This amount represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors and recorded through other comprehensive income.
	(C)	Securities New Residential intends to sell have a fair value equal to their amortized cost basis after impairment, and, therefore do not have unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2013.
	(D)	New Residential may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, New Residential must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales.

	On April 1, 2013, New Residential completed, through newly formed limited liability companies (together, the “Consumer Loan Companies”) a co-investment in a portfolio of consumer loans with a UPB of approximately $4.2 billion as of December 31, 2012. The portfolio included over 400,000 personal unsecured loans and personal homeowner loans originated through subsidiaries of HSBC Finance Corporation.
	The Consumer Loan Companies acquired the portfolio from HSBC Finance Corporation and its affiliates. New Residential invested approximately $250 million for 30% membership interests in each of the Consumer Loan Companies. Of the remaining 70% of the membership interests, Springleaf, which is majority-owned by Fortress funds managed by the Manager, acquired 47% and an affiliate of Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C. acquired 23%. Springleaf acts as the managing member of the Consumer Loan Companies. The Consumer Loan Companies initially financed $2.2 billion of the approximately $3.0 billion purchase price with asset-backed notes. In September 2013, the Consumer Loan Companies issued and sold an additional $0.4 billion of asset-backed notes for 96% of par. These notes are subordinate to the $2.2 billion of debt issued in April 2013. The Consumer Loan Companies were formed on March 19, 2013, for the purpose of making this investment, and commenced operations upon the completion of the investment. After a servicing transition period, Springleaf became the servicer of the loans and provides all servicing and advancing functions for the portfolio.
	New Residential accounts for its investment in the Consumer Loan Companies pursuant to the equity method of accounting because it can exercise significant influence over the Consumer Loan Companies, but the requirements for consolidation are not met. New Residential’s share of earnings and losses in these equity method investees is included in “Earnings from investments in consumer loans, equity method investees” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Equity method investments are included in “Investments in consumer loans, equity method investees” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	New Residential periodically reviews equity method investments for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investments may not be recoverable. New Residential will record an impairment charge to the extent that the estimated fair value of an investment is less than its carrying value and New Residential determines the impairment is other-than-temporary.

Substantially all of the net cash flow generated by the Consumer Loan Companies is required to be used to pay down the Class A notes. When the balance of the outstanding Class A notes is reduced to 50% of the outstanding UPB of the performing consumer loans, 70% of the net cash flow generated is required to be used to pay down the Class A notes and the equity holders of the Consumer Loan Companies and holders of the Class B notes will each be entitled to receive 15% of the net cash flow of the Consumer Loan Companies on a periodic basis.

	New Residential has outstanding repurchase agreements with terms that generally conform to the terms of the standard master repurchase agreement published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) as to repayment, margin requirements and segregation of all securities sold under any repurchase transactions. In addition, each counterparty typically requires additional terms and conditions to the standard master repurchase agreement, including changes to the margin maintenance requirements, required haircuts, purchase price maintenance requirements, requirements that all controversies related to the repurchase agreement be litigated in a particular jurisdiction and cross default provisions. These provisions may differ by counterparty and are not determined until New Residential engages in a specific repurchase transaction.
	Non-Agency RMBS
	On October 30, 2013, New Residential terminated an existing $342.9 million master repurchase agreement and entered into a new $414.2 million master repurchase agreement with Alpine Securitization Corp., an asset-backed commercial paper facility sponsored by Credit Suisse AG, an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, which has a one year maturity.

	Upon the occurrence of an early amortization event or a target amortization event, there is either an interest rate increase on the variable funding notes, a rapid amortization of the variable funding notes or an acceleration of principal repayment, or all of the foregoing. The early amortization and target amortization events under the servicer advance facilities include: (i) the occurrence of an event of default under the transaction documents, (ii) failure to satisfy an interest coverage test, (iii) the occurrence of any servicer default or termination event for pooling and servicing agreements representing 15% or more (by mortgage loan balance as of the date
	of termination) of all the pooling and servicing agreements related to the purchased basic fee subject to certain exceptions; (iv) failure to satisfy a collateral performance test measuring the ratio of collected advance reimbursements to the balance of advances; (v) for certain variable funding notes, failure to satisfy minimum tangible net worth requirements for Nationstar and Advance Purchaser LLC; (vi) for certain variable funding notes, failure to satisfy minimum liquidity requirements for Nationstar and Advance Purchaser LLC, (vii) failure to satisfy leverage tests for Nationstar; (viii) for certain variable funding notes, a change of control of Advance Purchaser LLC; (ix) for certain variable funding notes, certain judgments against Advance Purchaser LLC or each of its wholly owned special purpose subsidiaries in excess of certain thresholds; (x) for certain variable funding notes, payment default under, or an acceleration of, other debt of Advance Purchaser LLC; (xi) failure to deliver certain reports; and (xii) material breaches of any of the transaction documents.
	The definitive documents related to the variable funding notes contain customary representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants. Affirmative covenants include, among others, reporting requirements, provision of notices of material events, maintenance of existence, maintenance of books and records, compliance with laws, compliance with covenants under the designated servicing agreements and maintaining certain servicing standards with respect to the advances and the related mortgage loans. Negative covenants include, among others, limitations on amendments to the designated servicing agreements and limitations on amendments to the procedures and methodology for repaying the advances or determining that advances have become non-recoverable. The definitive documents related to the variable funding notes also contain customary events of default, including, among others, (i) non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due, (ii) insolvency of Nationstar, Advance Purchaser LLC or its applicable wholly owned special purpose subsidiary; (iii) the applicable wholly owned special purpose subsidiary becoming subject to registration as an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iv) Nationstar or Advance Purchaser LLC fails to comply with the deposit and remittance requirements set forth in any pooling and servicing agreement or such definitive documents; and (v) Nationstar’s failure to make an indemnity payment after giving effect to any applicable grace period. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under any servicer advance facility, the requisite percentage of the related noteholders may declare the variable funding notes and all other obligations of the applicable wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Advance Purchaser LLC immediately due and payable and may terminate the commitments. A bankruptcy event of default causes such obligations automatically to become immediately due and payable and the commitments automatically to terminate.
	Additional borrowing is permitted on the Notes that are variable funding notes subject to a maximum balance and certain funding conditions, such as the accuracy of representations and warranties, the absence of a default and the satisfaction of a collateral test that generally requires the sum of eligible servicer advances transferred to the applicable wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Advance Purchaser LLC multiplied by an advance rate plus all collections in the applicable wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Advance Purchaser LLC accounts to be greater than or equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the variable funding notes. Generally, during the revolving period, payments to noteholders will consist of payments of interest, but excess cash flow from repaid servicer advances may be used to fund the purchase of new servicer advances.
	Residential Mortgage Loans
	On November 25, 2013, New Residential entered into a $300.0 million master repurchase agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland (“RBS”) with advance rates ranging from 65% to 85% and an interest cost of one-month LIBOR plus 2.5% to 2.75%. The repurchase agreement, which contains customary covenants and event of default provisions and is subject to margin calls, matures on November 24, 2014. Pursuant to the repurchase agreement New Residential may sell, and later repurchase, (x) trust certificates representing interests in certain residential mortgage loans and (y) the capital stock of a corporation that holds certain real estate owned properties. The principal amount paid by RBS for such assets is based on a percentage of the lesser of the market value or the UPB of such mortgage assets backing the assets. Upon New Residential’s repurchase of such assets sold under the repurchase agreement, New Residential is required to repay RBS a repurchase amount based on the purchase price plus accrued interest. New Residential is also required to pay certain administrative costs and expenses in connection with the structuring, management and ongoing administration of the master repurchase agreement. The repurchase agreement contains customary covenants and event of default provisions, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $15.0 million, a minimum tangible net worth provision of $540.0 million, and a four to one indebtedness to tangible net worth provision. As of December 31, 2013, New Residential had purchased $92.7 million of loans financed with $60.1 million under this facility. This financing was treated as a linked transaction (Note 10) and is therefore not included in the table above.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	'
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	U.S. GAAP requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels which form a hierarchy.
	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
	Level 2 - Valuations based principally on other observable market parameters, including
		•		Quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments,
		•		Quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments,
		•		Other observable inputs (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates), and
		•		Market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data).
	Level 3 - Valuations based significantly on unobservable inputs.
	New Residential follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The carrying values and fair values of New Residential’s financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as other financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed, as of December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	(A)	The notional amount represents the total unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans underlying the Excess MSRs. New Residential does not receive an excess mortgage servicing amount on nonperforming loans in Agency portfolios.
	(B)	Represents New Residential’s 70% interest in the total unpaid principal balance of the Residential Mortgage Loans.
	(C)	Notional amount consists of the aggregate current face and UPB amounts of the securities and loans, respectively, that comprise the asset portion of the linked transaction.
	New Residential has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value is reasonably estimated. With respect to the broker and pricing service quotations, to ensure these quotes represent a reasonable estimate of fair value, New Residential’s quarterly procedures include a comparison to quotations from different sources, outputs generated from its internal pricing models and transactions New Residential has completed with respect to these or similar securities, as well as on its knowledge and experience of these markets. With respect to fair value estimates generated based on New Residential’s internal pricing models, New Residential’s management corroborates the inputs and outputs of the internal pricing models by comparing them to available independent third party market parameters, where available, and models for reasonableness. New Residential believes its valuation methods and the assumptions used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants.
	Fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or methodology used to determine fair value and such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value.
	Investments in Excess MSRs Valuation
	Fair value estimates of New Residential’s Excess MSRs were based on internal pricing models. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included expectations of prepayment rates, delinquency rates, recapture rates, the excess mortgage servicing amount of the underlying mortgage loans and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of mortgage servicing rights on similar pools of residential mortgage loans.
	In order to evaluate the reasonableness of its fair value determinations, management engages an independent valuation firm to separately measure the fair value of its Excess MSRs. The independent valuation firm determines an estimated fair value range of each pool based on its own models and issues a “fairness opinion” with this range. Management compares the range included in the opinion to the value generated by its internal models. For Excess MSRs acquired prior to the current quarter, the fairness opinion relates to the valuation at the current quarter end date. For Excess MSRs acquired during the current quarter, the fairness opinion relates to the valuation at the time of acquisition. To date, New Residential has not made any significant valuation adjustments as a result of these fairness opinions.
	For Excess MSRs acquired during the current quarter, New Residential revalues the Excess MSRs at the quarter end date if a payment is received between the acquisition date and the end of the quarter. Otherwise, Excess MSRs acquired during the current quarter are carried at their amortized cost basis if there has been no change in assumptions since acquisition.
	In addition, in valuing the Excess MSRs, management considered the likelihood of Nationstar being removed as the servicer, which likelihood is considered to be remote. Fair value measurements of the Excess MSRs are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or methodology used to determine fair value, and such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates, prepayment or delinquency rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, whereas significant increases (decreases) in the recapture rates or excess mortgage servicing amount in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the prepayment speed.
	The following table summarizes certain information regarding the inputs used in valuing the Excess MSRs owned directly and through equity method investees as of December 31, 2013:

(A)	Projected annualized weighted average lifetime voluntary and involuntary prepayment rate using a prepayment vector.
(B)	Projected percentage of mortgage loans in the pool that will miss their mortgage payments.
(C)	Percentage of voluntarily prepaid loans that are expected to be refinanced by Nationstar.
(D)	Weighted average total mortgage servicing amount in excess of the basic fee.
(E)	The Excess MSR will be paid on the total UPB of the mortgage portfolio (including both performing and delinquent loans until REO).
All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on New Residential’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. Prepayment speed and delinquency rate projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary over the expected life of the pool. New Residential uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows for each investment in Excess MSRs.
When valuing Excess MSRs, New Residential uses the following criteria to determine the significant inputs:
	•		Prepayment Speed: Prepayment speed projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to prepay voluntarily (i.e., pay off) and involuntarily (i.e., default) at each point in the future. The prepayment vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions and factors such as the borrower’s FICO score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, vintage on a loan level basis, as well as the projected effect on loans eligible for the Home Affordable Refinance Program 2.0 (“HARP 2.0”). Management considers collateral-specific prepayment experience when determining this vector. For the Recapture Agreements and recaptured loans, New Residential also considers industry research on the prepayment experience of similar loan pools (i.e., loan pools composed of refinanced loans). This data is obtained from remittance reports, market data services and other market sources.
	•		Delinquency Rates: For existing mortgage pools, delinquency rates are based on the recent pool-specific experience of loans that missed their latest mortgage payments. For the Recapture Agreements and recaptured loans, delinquency rates are based on the experience of similar loan pools originated by Nationstar and delinquency experience over the past year. Management believes this time period provides a reasonable sample for projecting future delinquency rates while taking into account current market conditions. Additional consideration is given to loans that are expected to become 30 or more days delinquent.
	•		Recapture Rates: Recapture rates are based on actual average recapture rates experienced by Nationstar on similar mortgage loan pools. Generally, New Residential looks to one year worth of actual recapture rates, which management believes provides a reasonable sample for projecting future recapture rates while taking into account current market conditions.
	•		Excess Mortgage Servicing Amount: For existing mortgage pools, excess mortgage servicing amount projections are based on the actual total mortgage servicing amount in excess of a basic fee. For loans expected to be refinanced by Nationstar and subject to a Recapture Agreement, New Residential considers the excess mortgage servicing amount on loans recently originated by Nationstar over the past year and other general market considerations. Management believes this time period provides a reasonable sample for projecting future excess mortgage servicing amounts while taking into account current market conditions.
	•		Discount Rate: The discount rates used by New Residential are derived from market data on pricing of mortgage servicing rights backed by similar collateral.
New Residential uses different prepayment and delinquency assumptions in valuing the Excess MSRs relating to the original loan pools, the Recapture Agreements and the Excess MSRs relating to recaptured loans. The prepayment speed and delinquency rate assumptions differ because of differences in the collateral characteristics, eligibility for HARP 2.0 and expected borrower behavior for original loans and loans which have been refinanced. New Residential uses the same assumptions for recapture and discount rates when valuing Excess MSRs and Recapture Agreements. These assumptions are based on historical recapture experience and market pricing.

Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights Equity Method Investees Valuation
Fair value estimates of New Residential’s investments were based on internal pricing models. New Residential estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the underlying entities in which it holds an equity interest. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs represent the inputs required to estimate the fair value of the Excess MSRs held by the entities and include expectations of prepayment rates, delinquency rates, recapture rates, the excess mortgage servicing amount of the underlying mortgage loans, and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of mortgage servicing rights on similar pools of residential mortgage loans. In addition, in valuing the Excess MSRs, management considered the likelihood of Nationstar being removed as servicer, which likelihood is considered to be remote. Refer to the Investments in Excess MSRs Valuation section above for further details.
New Residential’s investments in equity method investees measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs changed during the year ended December 31, 2013 as follows:

Investments in Servicer Advances Valuation
On December 17, 2013, New Residential initially recorded its investment in servicer advances, including the basic fee component of the related MSR, at the purchase price paid, which New Residential’s management believes reflects the value a market participant would attribute to the investment at the time of purchase and approximates the fair value of the investment as of December 31, 2013. New Residential categorizes its investment under Level 3 of the GAAP hierarchy. Management uses internal pricing models to estimate the future cash flows related to the servicer advance investments that incorporate significant unobservable inputs and include assumptions that are inherently subjective and imprecise. Management’s estimations of future cash flows include the combined cash flows of all of the components that comprise the servicer advance investments: existing advances, the requirement to purchase future advances, the recovery of advances and the right to the basic fee component of the related MSR. The factors that most significantly impact the fair value include (i) the rate at which the servicer advance balance changes over the term of the investment, (ii) the UPB of the underlying loans with respect to which New Residential has the obligation to make advances and owns the basic fee component of the related MSR which, in turn, is driven by prepayment speeds and (iii) the percentage of delinquent loans with respect to which New Residential owns the basic fee component of the related MSR. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included the assumptions used to establish the aforementioned cash flows and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of servicer advances.
In order to evaluate the reasonableness of its fair value determinations, management engages an independent valuation firm to separately measure the fair value of its investment in servicer advances. The independent valuation firm determines an estimated fair value range based on its own models and issues a “fairness opinion” with this range. Management compares the range included in the opinion to the value generated by its internal models. For servicer advances acquired during the current quarter, the fairness opinion relates to the valuation at the time of acquisition. To date, New Residential has not made any significant valuation adjustments as a result of these fairness opinions.
For servicer advances acquired during the current quarter, New Residential revalues the servicer advances at the quarter end date if a payment is received between the acquisition date and the end of the quarter. Otherwise, servicer advances acquired during the current quarter are carried at their amortized cost basis if there has been no change in assumptions since acquisition.
In valuing the servicer advances, management considered the likelihood of Nationstar being removed as the servicer, which likelihood is considered to be remote. Fair value measurements of the servicer advances are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or methodology used to determine fair value, and such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value. Significant increases (decreases) in the advance balance-to-UPB ratio, prepayment speed, delinquency rate, or discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the advance balance-to-UPB ratio, but also a directionally opposite change in the prepayment rate.
The following table summarizes certain information regarding the inputs used in valuing the servicer advances as of December 31, 2013:
		Significant Inputs
		Weighted Average
		Outstanding		Prepayment	Delinquency		Mortgage	Discount
		Servicer Advances		Speed			Servicing	Rate
		to UPB of Underlying					Amount
		Residential Mortgage
		Loans
Servicer advances		2.70%		13.30%	20.00%		21.2 bps	4.40%
All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on New Residential’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. The prepayment speed, the delinquency rate and the advance-to-UPB ratio projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary over the expected life of the underlying mortgages and related servicer advances. New Residential uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows for each investment in servicer advances, including the basic fee component of the related MSR.
When valuing servicer advances, New Residential uses the following criteria to determine the significant inputs:
	•		Servicer advance balance: Servicer advance balance projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the residential mortgage loan pool. The servicer advance balance projection is based on assumptions that reflect factors such as the borrower’s expected delinquency status, the rate at which delinquent borrowers reperform or become current again, servicer modification offer and acceptance rates, liquidation timelines and the servicers’ stop advance and clawback policies.
	•		Prepayment Speed: Prepayment speed projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to prepay voluntarily (i.e., pay off) and involuntarily (i.e., default) at each point in the future. The prepayment vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions and factors such as the borrower’s FICO score, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, and vintage on a loan level basis. Management considers collateral-specific prepayment experience when determining this vector.
	•		Delinquency Rates: For existing mortgage pools, delinquency rates are based on the recent pool-specific experience of loans that missed recent mortgage payment(s) as well as loan- and borrower-specific characteristics such as the borrower’s FICO score, the loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, occupancy status, loan documentation, payment history and previous loan modifications. Management believes the time period utilized provides a reasonable sample for projecting future delinquency rates while taking into account current market conditions.
	•		Mortgage Servicing Amount: Mortgage servicing amounts are contractually determined on a pool-by-pool basis. Management projects the weighted average mortgage servicing amount based on its projections for prepayment speeds.
	•		Discount Rate: The discount rates used by New Residential are derived from market data on pricing of mortgage servicing rights backed by similar collateral and the advances made thereon.

Real Estate Securities Valuation
As of December 31, 2013, New Residential’s securities valuation methodology and results are further detailed as follows:
								Fair Value
Asset Type		Outstanding			Amortized			Multiple			Total			Level
		Face Amount			Cost Basis			Quotes (A)
Agency ARM RMBS		$	1,314,130		$	1,403,215		$	1,402,764		$	1,402,764			2
Non-Agency RMBS			872,866			566,760			570,425			570,425			3
Total		$	2,186,996		$	1,969,975		$	1,973,189		$	1,973,189
(A)	Management generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold New Residential the security) for Non-Agency RMBS. Management selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of the fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because management believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. Management believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential’s own fair value analysis, management selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value. New Residential never adjusts quotes received. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” — meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to actually purchase the security at the quoted price.
Fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or methodology used to determine fair value, and such changes could result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value. For New Residential’s investments in real estate securities categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the significant unobservable inputs include the discount rates, assumptions related to prepayments, default rates and loss severities. Significant increases (decreases) in any of the discount rates, default rates or loss severities in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The impact of changes in prepayment speeds would have differing impacts on fair value, depending on the seniority of the investment. Generally, a change in the default assumption is accompanied by directionally similar changes in the assumptions used for the loss severity and the prepayment speed.
Fair value estimates of New Residential’s Non-Agency RMBS were based on third party indications as of December 31, 2013 and classified as Level 3. Securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs changed during the year ended December 31, 2013 as follows:

Residential Mortgage Loans for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed
As of December 31, 2013, loans which New Residential has the intent and ability to hold into the foreseeable future are classified as held-for-investment. Loans held-for-investment are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balance adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, an allowance for loan losses, charge-offs and write-downs for impaired loans.
The fair values of New Residential’s reverse mortgage loans held-for-investment were estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis using internal pricing models. The significant inputs to these models include discount rates and the timing and amount of expected cash flows that management believes market participants would use in determining the fair values on similar pools of reverse mortgage loans. New Residential’s loans held-for-investment are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(A)	Represents a 70% interest New Residential holds in the reverse mortgage loans.
(B)	The weighted average life is based on the expected timing of the receipt of cash flows.
Derivative Valuation
New Residential financed certain investments with the same counterparty from which it purchased those investments, and accounts for the contemporaneous purchase of the investments and the associated financings as linked transactions (Note 10). The linked transactions are valued on a net basis considering their underlying components, the investment value and the related repurchase financing agreement value, generally determined consistently with the relevant instruments as described in this note. The linked transactions, which are categorized as Level 3 and recorded as a non-hedge derivative instrument on a net basis, changed during the year ended December 31, 2013 as follows:
Balance as of December 31, 2012		$	—
Transfers (A)
Transfers from Level 3			—
Transfers into Level 3			—
Gains (losses) included in net income (B)			1,820
Purchases, sales and repayments
Purchases			34,106
Sales			—
Balance as of December 31, 2013		$	35,926
(A)	Transfers are assumed to occur at the beginning of the respective period.
(B)	The gains (losses) recorded in earnings during the period are attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to Level 3 assets still held at the reporting dates. These gains (losses) represent the change in fair value of the non-hedge derivative instruments and are recorded in “Other Income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed
Repurchase agreements and notes payable are not measured at fair value in the statement of position; however, management believes that their carrying value approximates fair value, primarily resulting from the short duration of related borrowings. Repurchase agreements and notes payable are considered to be Level 2 and Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy, respectively, with significant valuation variables including the amount and timing of expected cash flows, interest rates and collateral funding spreads.

	On April 26, 2013, Newcastle announced that its board of directors had formally declared the distribution of shares of common stock of New Residential, a then wholly owned subsidiary of Newcastle. Following the spin-off, New Residential is an independent, publicly-traded REIT primarily focused on investing in residential mortgage related assets. The spin-off was completed on May 15, 2013 and New Residential began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NRZ.” The spin-off transaction was effected as a taxable pro rata distribution by Newcastle of all the outstanding shares of common stock of New Residential to the stockholders of record of Newcastle as of May 6, 2013. The stockholders of Newcastle as of the record date received one share of New Residential common stock for each share of Newcastle common stock held.
	On April 29, 2013, New Residential’s certificate of incorporation was amended so that its authorized capital stock now consists of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. At the time of the completion of the spin-off, there were 253,025,645 outstanding shares of common stock which was based on the number of Newcastle’s shares of common stock outstanding on May 6, 2013 and a distribution ratio of one share of New Residential common stock for each share of Newcastle common stock.
	On June 3, 2013, New Residential declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per common share, or $17.7 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, based on earnings for the period May 16, 2013 to June 30, 2013, which was paid in July 2013. On September 17, 2013, New Residential declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per common share, or $44.3 million, for the quarter ended on September 30, 2013, which was paid in October 2013. On December 17, 2013, New Residential declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per common share and a special cash dividend of $0.075 per common share, totaling $63.3 million, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The combined dividend of $0.25 was paid on January 31, 2014.
	Approximately 5,314,416 shares of New Residential’s common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, and its principals as of December 31, 2013.
	See Note 18 for a discussion of a dividend declared by New Residential’s board of directors subsequent to December 31, 2013.
	Option Plan
	Effective upon the spin-off, New Residential has a Nonqualified Stock Option and Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, tandem awards and other equity-based and non-equity based awards, in each case to the Manager, and to the directors, officers, employees, service providers, consultants and advisor of the Manager who perform services for New Residential, and to New Residential’s directors, officers, service providers, consultants and advisors. New Residential has initially reserved 30,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the Plan; on the first day of each fiscal year beginning during the ten-year term of the Plan in and after calendar year 2014, that number will be increased by a number of shares of New Residential’s common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock newly issued by New Residential during the immediately preceding fiscal year (and, in the case of fiscal year 2013, after the effective date of the Plan). No adjustment was made on January 1, 2014. New Residential’s board of directors may also determine to issue options to the Manager that are not subject to the Plan, provided that the number of shares underlying any options granted to the Manager in connection with capital raising efforts would not exceed 10% of the shares sold in such offering and would be subject to NYSE rules. Upon exercise, all options will be settled in an amount of cash equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise over the strike price per share unless advance approval is made to settle the option in shares of common stock.
	Prior to the spin-off, Newcastle had issued options to the Manager in connection with capital raising activities. In connection with the spin-off, 21.5 million options that were held by the Manager, or by the directors, officers or employees of the Manager, were converted into an adjusted Newcastle option and a new New Residential option. The exercise price of each adjusted Newcastle option and New Residential option was set to collectively maintain the intrinsic value of the Newcastle option immediately prior to the spin-off and to maintain the ratio of the exercise price of the adjusted Newcastle option and the New Residential option, respectively, to the fair market value of the underlying shares as of the spin-off date, in each case based on the five day average closing price subsequent to the spin-off date.
	Upon joining the board, non-employee directors were, in accordance with the Plan, granted options relating to an aggregate of 8,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of such options was not material at the date of grant.
	As a result of a resignation, a former employee of the Manager exercised 307,833 options with a weighted average exercise price of $3.08 on September 3, 2013. Upon exercise, 160,634 shares of common stock of New Residential were issued, reflecting the $1.0 million aggregate intrinsic value of the exercisable options. In addition, 192,167 unvested options and 2,170 vested options were forfeited by the employee and transferred back to the Manager.
	As of December 31, 2013, New Residential’s outstanding options were summarized as follows:
			December 31, 2013												December 31, 2012
			Issued Prior to				Issued in 2011-				Total				Issued Prior to				Issued in 2011		Total

	Total					3,045,570
	(D)	Exercised by employees of Fortress subsequent to their assignment. The options exercised had an intrinsic value of $1.0 million.
	Income and Earnings Per Share
	Net income earned prior to the spin-off is included in additional paid-in capital instead of retained earnings since the accumulation of retained earnings began as of the date of spin-off from Newcastle.
	New Residential is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period. New Residential’s common stock equivalents are its outstanding stock options. During the year ended December 31, 2013, based on the treasury stock method, New Residential had 4,290,207 dilutive common stock equivalents.
	For the purposes of computing EPS for periods prior to the spin-off on May 15, 2013, New Residential treated the common shares issued in connection with the spin-off as if they had been outstanding for all periods presented, similar to a stock split. For the purposes of computing diluted EPS for periods prior to the spin-off on May 15, 2013, New Residential treated the 21.5 million options issued on the spin-off date as a result of the conversion of Newcastle options as if they were granted on May 15, 2013 since no New Residential awards were outstanding prior to that date.
	Noncontrolling Interests
	Noncontrolling interests is comprised of the interests held by third parties in consolidated entities that hold New Residential’s investment in servicer advances (Note 6).

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	'
	14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Litigation — New Residential may, from time to time, be a defendant in legal actions from transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2013, New Residential is not subject to any material litigation, individually or in the aggregate, nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against New Residential.
	Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, New Residential and its subsidiaries enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. New Residential’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against New Residential that have not yet occurred. However, based on Newcastle’s and its own experience, New Residential expects the risk of material loss to be remote.
	Capital Commitments — As of December 31, 2013, New Residential had outstanding capital commitments related to the acquisition of investments in the following investment types (also refer to Note 18 for additional capital commitments entered into subsequent to December 31, 2013):
	Excess MSRs — As of December 31, 2013, New Residential had outstanding capital commitments of $52.9 million related to the acquisition of five pools (Pools 13-17) of Excess MSRs on portfolios comprised of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and private label securitizations (“PLS”) residential mortgage loans. In January 2014, New Residential invested approximately $19.1 million in Excess MSRs on a portfolio of PLS residential mortgage loans with an UPB of approximately $8.1 billion (Pool 17). Additionally, through co-investments made by subsidiaries of New Residential, New Residential has separately purchased the servicer advances, including the right to receive the basic fee component of related MSRs on Pool 17.
	Servicer Advances — In December 2013, New Residential and third-party co-investors agreed to purchase, though Advance Purchaser LLC, future servicer advances related to the Non-Agency mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $54.6 billion underlying New Residential’s first investment in servicer advances, including the basic fee component of the related MSRs. The actual amount of future advances purchased will be based on: (a) the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans, (b) the amount of advances recoverable prior to liquidation of the related collateral and (c) the percentage of the loans with respect to which no additional advance obligations are made. The actual amount of future advances is subject to significant uncertainty.
	Debt Covenants — New Residential’s debt obligations contain various customary loan covenants (Note 11).
	Certain Tax-Related Covenants — If New Residential is treated as a successor to Newcastle under applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, and if Newcastle fails to qualify as a REIT, New Residential could be prohibited from electing to be a REIT. Accordingly, Newcastle has (i) represented that it has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would cause New Residential to fail to qualify as a REIT, (ii) covenanted to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with New Residential as necessary to enable New Residential to qualify for taxation as a REIT and receive customary legal opinions concerning REIT status, including providing information and representations to New Residential and its tax counsel with respect to the composition of Newcastle’s income and assets, the composition of its stockholders, and its operation as a REIT; and (iii) covenanted to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status for each of Newcastle’s taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2014 (unless Newcastle obtains an opinion from a nationally recognized tax counsel or a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that Newcastle’s failure to maintain its REIT status will not cause New Residential to fail to qualify as a REIT under the successor REIT rule referred to above). Additionally, New Residential covenanted to use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for taxation as a REIT for its taxable year ended December 31, 2013.

	New Residential is party to a Management Agreement with its Manager which provides for automatically renewing one-year terms subject to certain termination rights. The Manager’s performance is reviewed annually and the Management Agreement may be terminated by New Residential by payment of a termination fee, as defined in the Management Agreement, equal to the amount of management fees earned by the Manager during the twelve consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the termination, upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the independent directors, or by a majority vote of the holders of common stock. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, under the supervision of New Residential’s board of directors, formulates investment strategies, arranges for the acquisition of assets and associated financing, monitors the performance of New Residential’s assets and provides certain advisory, administrative and managerial services in connection with the operations of New Residential.
	Effective May 15, 2013, the Manager is entitled to receive a management fee in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of New Residential’s gross equity calculated and payable monthly in arrears in cash. Gross equity is generally the equity transferred by Newcastle on the distribution date, plus total net proceeds from stock offerings, plus certain capital contributions to subsidiaries, less capital distributions and repurchases of common stock.
	In addition, effective May 15, 2013, the Manager is entitled to receive annual incentive compensation in an amount equal to the product of (A) 25% of the dollar amount by which (1) (a) New Residential’s Funds from Operations before the incentive compensation per share of common stock, excluding Funds from Operations from investments in equity method investees that are invested in consumer loans as of the date hereof (the Consumer Loan Companies) and any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes on Excess MSRs and on equity method investees invested in Excess MSRs, per REIT Share (as defined in the Management Agreement, based on the weighted average number of REIT Shares outstanding), plus (b) earnings (or losses) from the Consumer Loan Companies computed on a level-yield basis (such that the loans are treated as if they qualified as loans acquired with a discount for credit quality as set forth in ASC 310-30, as such codification was in effect on June 30, 2013) as if the Consumer Loan Companies had been acquired at their GAAP basis on May 15, 2013, earnings (or losses) from equity method investees invested in Excess MSRs as if such equity method investees had not made a fair value election, and gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and gains (or losses) from sales of property and other assets per share of common stock, exceed (2) an amount equal to (a) the weighted average of the book value per share of the equity transferred by Newcastle on the date of the spin-off and the prices per share of New Residential’s common stock in any offerings (adjusted for prior capital dividends or capital distributions) multiplied by (b) a simple interest rate of 10% per annum, multiplied by (B) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. “Funds from Operations” means net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations will be computed on an unconsolidated basis. The computation of funds from operations may be adjusted at the direction of New Residential’s independent directors based on changes in, or certain applications of, GAAP. Funds from operations is determined from the date of the spin-off and without regard to Newcastle’s prior performance.
	In addition to the management fee and incentive compensation, New Residential is responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by the Manager on behalf of New Residential.

	New Residential intends to qualify as a REIT for the tax year ending December 31, 2013. A REIT is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. New Residential was a wholly owned subsidiary of Newcastle until May 15, 2013 and, as a qualified REIT subsidiary, was a disregarded entity until such date. As a result, no provision or liability for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
	New Residential has made certain investments, particularly its investment in servicer advances (Notes 6 and 18), through TRSs and is subject to regular corporate income taxes on these investments, New Residential and its TRSs will file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions for the tax year ending December 31, 2013. Generally, these income tax returns will be subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for a period of three years after the date of filing.

	These financial statements include a discussion of material events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013 (referred to as “subsequent events”) through the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Events subsequent to that date have not been considered in these financial statements.
	Excess MSRs
	On January 17, 2014, New Residential completed an additional closing of Excess MSRs that it agreed to acquire as part of a previously committed transaction between Nationstar and First Tennessee Bank. New Residential invested approximately $19.1 million in Pool 17 on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $8.1 billion. New Residential has remaining commitments of approximately $1.5 million to fund additional investments in Pool 17, which have not yet closed and will increase the outstanding principal balance of Pool 17 by an estimated $0.9 billion.
	New Residential has remaining commitments of $32.3 million to invest in Excess MSRs on a portfolio of GSE residential mortgages comprised of four pools (Pools 13-16) with an aggregate outstanding unpaid principal balance of approximately $13.1 billion that New Residential committed to in 2013.
	In each transaction (Pools 13-17), New Residential agreed to acquire a one-third interest in Excess MSRs on the portfolio. Fortress-managed funds and Nationstar each agreed to acquire a one-third interest in the Excess MSRs. Nationstar as servicer will perform all servicing and advancing functions, and retain the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in the portfolio. Commitments related to GSE residential mortgage loans are contingent upon GSE approval of Nationstar to service such loans and transfer Excess MSRs to New Residential.
	Subsequent to December 31, 2013, New Residential paid down $5.9 million of the corporate loan (Note 11) secured by Excess MSRs related to Pool 5 and extended the maturity of the loan to May 31, 2014.
	Servicer Advances
	Subsequent to December 31, 2013 and prior to March 17, 2014, Advance Purchaser LLC settled an additional $509.4 million of advances, which represents substantially all of the remaining balance related to New Residential’s first investment in servicer advances through Buyer and funded a total of $2.1 billion of new servicer advances, financed using $1.7 billion of notes payable. Restricted cash increased approximately $9.8 million in relation to these fundings. Additionally, Advance Purchaser LLC received $9.8 million from Nationstar to satisfy a targeted return shortfall.
	On February 28 and March 7, 2014, Advance Purchaser LLC received $105.0 million and $37.0 million, respectively, from two co-investors to fund the purchase of $756.2 million and $299.1 million, respectively, of additional servicer advances.
	In March 2014, Advance Purchaser LLC prepaid all of the notes issued pursuant to one servicer advance facility and a portion of the notes issued pursuant to another servicer advance facility. The notes were prepaid with the proceeds of new notes issued pursuant to an advance receivables trust (the “NRART Master Trust”) that issued (i) variable funding notes (“VFNs”) with borrowing capacity of up to $1.1 billion and (ii) $1.0 billion of term notes (“Term Notes”) to institutional investors. The VFNs generally bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR or a cost of funds rate plus (ii) a spread of 1.375% to 2.5% depending on the class of the notes. The expected repayment date of the VFNs is March 2015. The Term Notes generally bear interest at approximately 1.9% and have expected repayment dates in March 2015 and March 2017. The VFNs and the Term Notes are secured by servicer advances, and the financing is nonrecourse to Advance Purchaser LLC, except for customary recourse provisions. As of March 18, 2014, the principal balance of notes issued by the NRART Master Trust is equal to approximately $1.9 billion.
	Real Estate Securities
	Subsequent to December 31, 2013, New Residential acquired no new Agency ARM RMBS. New Residential sold Agency ARM RMBS with a face amount of $154.2 million for $162.9 million and recorded a gain of $0.7 million. Furthermore, New Residential acquired Non-Agency RMBS with an aggregate face amount of approximately $740.6 million financed with repurchase agreements. New Residential sold Non-Agency RMBS with a face amount of $437.9 million for $248.5 million and recorded a gain of $3.8 million.
	As of March 25, 2014, New Residential held TBA positions with $625.0 million in a long notional amount of Agency RMBS and $750.0 million in short notional amount of Agency RMBS, and any amounts or obligations owed by or to New Residential are subject to the right of set-off with the TBA counterparty.
	As of March 25, 2014, New Residential held a $300.0 million short position of 3-Year U.S. Treasury notes.
	On March 6, 2014, New Residential and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated entered into an agreement pursuant to which New Residential agreed to purchase approximately $625 million current face amount of Non-Agency residential mortgage securities for approximately $553 million. The purchased securities represent 75% of the mezzanine and subordinate tranches of a securitization previously sponsored by Springleaf. The securitization, including the purchased securities, are collateralized by residential mortgage loans with a current face amount of approximately $0.9 billion.
	Real Estate Loans
	On January 15, 2014, New Residential settled a portfolio of non-performing residential mortgage loans with a UPB of approximately $170.1 million at a price of approximately $92.7 million. The purchase was financed with $60.1 million using the $300.0 million master repurchase agreement with RBS. This purchase was accounted for as a linked transaction (Note 10). The repurchase agreement, which contains customary covenants and event of default provisions and is subject to margin calls, matures on November 24, 2014.
	On January 15, 2014, New Residential purchased a portfolio of non-performing residential mortgage loans with a UPB of approximately $65.6 million at a price of approximately $33.7 million. To finance this purchase, on January 15, 2014, New Residential entered into a $25.3 million repurchase agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, which matures on January 14, 2015. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index rate equal to one-month LIBOR and (ii) a margin of 3.00%. The agreement contains customary covenants and event of default provisions.
	Other Investments
	On January 8, 2014, New Residential financed all of its ownership interest in each of the Consumer Loan Companies under a $150.0 million master repurchase agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC which matures on June 30, 2014. Borrowings under the facility bear interest equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index rate equal to one-month LIBOR and (ii) a margin of 4.00%. The facility contains customary covenants and event of default provisions.
	Corporate Activities
	On March 19, 2014, New Residential’s board of directors declared a first quarter 2014 dividend of $0.175 per share of common stock, which is payable on April 30, 2014 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2014.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2013

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies

'

Basis of Accounting

'

Basis of Accounting — The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP’’). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Residential and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. New Residential consolidates those entities in which it has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity, as well as those entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which New Residential is determined to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. For entities over which New Residential exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, New Residential uses the equity method of accounting whereby it records its share of the underlying income of such entities.

New Residential’s investments in Non-Agency RMBS are variable interests. New Residential monitors these investments and analyzes the potential need to consolidate the related securitization entities pursuant to the VIE consolidation requirements. New Residential has not consolidated the securitization entities that issued its Non-Agency RMBS. This determination is based, in part, on New Residential’s assessment that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities, such as through ownership of a majority of the currently controlling class. In addition, New Residential is not obligated to provide, and has not provided, any financial support to these entities.

Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than New Residential. These interests are related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities that hold New Residential’s investment in servicer advances (Note 6).

The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to May 15, 2013 have been prepared on a spin-off basis from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Newcastle and reflect New Residential’s historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, New Residential did not have any cash balance during periods prior to April 5, 2013, which is the first date Newcastle contributed cash to New Residential. All of its cash activity occurred in Newcastle’s accounts during these periods. The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to May 15, 2013 do not necessarily reflect what New Residential’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had New Residential operated as an independent company prior to the spin-off.

Certain expenses of Newcastle, comprised primarily of a portion of its management fee, have been allocated to New Residential to the extent they were directly associated with New Residential for periods prior to the spin-off on May 15, 2013. The portion of the management fee allocated to New Residential prior to the spin-off represents the product of the management fee rate payable by Newcastle (1.5%) and New Residential’s gross equity, which management believes is a reasonable method for quantifying the expense of the services provided by the employees of the Manager to New Residential. The incremental cost of certain legal, accounting and other expenses related to New Residential’s operations prior to May 15, 2013 are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. New Residential and Newcastle do not share any expenses following the spin-off.

Risks and Uncertainties

'

Risks and Uncertainties — In the normal course of business, New Residential encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on New Residential’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in prepayment speeds, interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including risks that impact the value of the collateral underlying New Residential’s investments. Management believes that the carrying values of its investments are reasonable taking into consideration these risks along with estimated prepayments, financings, collateral values, payment histories, and other information. Furthermore, for each of the periods presented, a significant portion of New Residential’s assets are dependent on Nationstar’s ability to perform its obligations as the servicer of residential mortgage loans underlying New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs, servicer advances, Non-Agency RMBS and residential mortgage loans. If Nationstar is terminated as the servicer, New Residential’s right to receive its portion of the cash flows related to interests in MSRs is also terminated. New Residential is similarly dependent on Springleaf as the servicer of the loans underlying its investment in the Consumer Loan Companies (Note 9).

Additionally, New Residential is subject to significant tax risks. If New Residential were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, New Residential would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, New Residential would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost.

Use of Estimates

'

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

'

Comprehensive Income — Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. For New Residential’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale.

Income Recognition - Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights

'

Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights (“Excess MSRs”) — Excess MSRs are aggregated into pools as applicable; each pool of Excess MSRs is accounted for in the aggregate. Interest income for Excess MSRs is accreted into interest income on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon the expected excess mortgage servicing amount through the expected life of the underlying mortgages. Changes to expected cash flows result in a cumulative retrospective adjustment, which will be recorded in the period in which the change in expected cash flows occurs. Under the retrospective method, the interest income recognized for a reporting period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis at the end of the period and the amortized cost basis at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period. The amortized cost basis is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimated future cash flows to the initial investment. In addition, New Residential’s policy is to recognize interest income only on its Excess MSRs in existing eligible underlying mortgages. The difference between the fair value of Excess MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded as “Change in fair value of investments in excess mortgage servicing rights.” Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the Excess MSRs, and therefore may differ from their effective yields.

Income Recognition - Interest in Servicer Advances

'

Investments in Servicer Advances (“Servicer Advances”) — New Residential accounts for its investments in Servicer Advances similarly to its investments in Excess MSRs. Interest income for Servicer Advances is accreted into interest income on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon the expected aggregate cash flows of the servicer advances, including the basic fee component of the related MSR (but excluding any Excess MSR component) through the expected life of the underlying mortgages, net of a portion of the basic fee component of the MSR that New Residential remits to Nationstar as compensation for Nationstar’s servicing activities. Changes to expected cash flows result in a cumulative retrospective adjustment, which will be recorded in the period in which the change in expected cash flows occurs. Refer to “—Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights” for a description of the retrospective method. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the Servicer Advances, and therefore may differ from their effective yields.

Interest income recognized by New Residential related to its investment in Servicer Advances for the year ended December 31, 2013 was comprised of the following:

Interest income, gross of amounts attributable to servicer compensation

$

6,708

Amounts attributable to servicer compensation

(2,287

)

Interest income

$

4,421

Income Recognition - Real Estate Securities

'

Investments in Real Estate Securities — Discounts or premiums are accreted into interest income on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon a comparison of actual and expected cash flows, through the expected maturity date of the security. For securities acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted (non-accretable difference).

Depending on the nature of the investment, changes to expected cash flows may result in a prospective change to yield or a retrospective change which would include a catch up adjustment. Deferred fees and costs, if any, are recognized as a reduction to the interest income over the terms of the securities using the interest method. Upon settlement of securities, the excess (or deficiency) of net proceeds over the net carrying value of such security is recognized as a gain (or loss) in the period of settlement.

Income Recognition - Investments in Residential Mortgage Loans

'

Investments in Residential Mortgage Loans — Income on these loans is recognized similarly to that on securities using a level yield methodology. For loans acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted (non-accretable difference).

Impairment of Securities and Loans

Impairment of Securities and Loans — New Residential continually evaluates securities and loans for impairment. Securities and loans are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”), for financial reporting purposes, generally when it is probable that New Residential will be unable to collect all principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the original agreements, or for securities or loans purchased at a discount for credit quality or that represent retained beneficial interests in securitizations when New Residential determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect as anticipated. The evaluation of a security’s or loan’s estimated cash flows includes the following, as applicable: (i) review of the credit of the issuer or borrower, (ii) review of the credit rating of the security, (iii) review of the key terms of the security or loan, (iv) review of the performance of the loan or underlying loans, including debt service coverage and loan to value ratios, (v) analysis of the value of the collateral for the loan or underlying loans, (vi) analysis of the effect of local, industry and broader economic factors, and (vii) analysis of historical and anticipated trends in defaults, loss severities and prepayments for similar securities or loans. Furthermore, New Residential must record a write down if it has the intent to sell a given security in an unrealized loss position, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell such a security. Upon determination of impairment, New Residential establishes specific valuation allowances for loans or records a direct write down for securities based on the estimated fair value of the security or underlying collateral using a discounted cash flow analysis or based on an observable market value. New Residential also establishes allowances for estimated unidentified incurred losses on pools of loans. The allowance for each loan is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses, based on periodic reviews of actual and expected losses. It is New Residential’s policy to establish an allowance for uncollectible interest on performing securities or loans that are past due more than 90 days or sooner when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. Upon such a determination, those securities or loans are deemed to be non-performing and put on nonaccrual status. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting loss allowance, and actual losses may differ from New Residential’s estimates. New Residential may resume accrual of income on a loan or security if, in management’s opinion, full collection is probable. Subsequent to a determination of impairment, and a related write down, income is accrued on an effective yield method from the new carrying value to the related expected cash flows, with cash received treated as a reduction of basis.

On May 14, 2012, New Residential entered into definitive agreements to co-invest in Excess MSRs related to mortgage servicing rights that Nationstar proposed to acquire from Residential Capital, LLC and related entities (“ResCap”) in an auction conducted as part of ResCap’s bankruptcy proceedings. The auction commenced on October 23, 2012, and Nationstar did not submit the highest bid on October 24, 2012. Therefore, New Residential did not complete this co-investment and was entitled to its portion of the breakup fee of approximately $8.4 million, which was recorded as other income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Interest Expense

'

Interest Expense — New Residential finances certain investments using floating rate repurchase agreements and loans. Interest is expensed as incurred.

General and Administrative Fees

'

General and Administrative Expenses — General and administrative expenses, including legal fees, audit fees, insurance premiums, and other costs and are expensed as incurred.

Management and Incentive Compensation to Affiliate

'

Management Fee and Incentive Compensation to Affiliate — These represent amounts due to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. For further information on the Management Agreement, see Note 15.

Investments in Servicing Related Assets

'

Investments in Servicing Related Assets — Servicing Related Assets consist of New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs and Servicer Advances. Upon acquisition, New Residential has elected to record each of such investments at fair value. New Residential elected to record its investments at fair value in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors on Servicing Related Assets. Under this election, New Residential records a valuation adjustment on its investments in Servicing Related Assets on a quarterly basis to recognize the changes in fair value in net income as described in “Income Recognition — Investments in Excess Mortgage Servicing Rights” and “Income Recognition — Investments in Servicer Advances.”

Investments in Real Estate Securities and Residential Mortgage Loans

'

Investments in Real Estate Securities — New Residential has classified its investments in securities as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at market value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent impairment losses are considered temporary. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the amortized cost of the specific investments and is included in earnings. Unrealized losses on securities are charged to earnings if they reflect a decline in value that is other-than-temporary.

Investments in Residential Mortgage Loans — Residential mortgage loans are presented at cost net of any unamortized discount (or gross of any unamortized premium), including any fees received, and an allowance for loan losses. New Residential determines at acquisition whether loans will be aggregated into pools based on common risk characteristics (credit quality, loan type, and date of origination or acquisition); loans aggregated into pools are accounted for as if each pool were a single loan. Loans which New Residential does not have the intent or the ability to hold into the foreseeable future are considered held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of average amortized cost or market value. Loans for which New Residential has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are classified as held-for-investment. Other loans are classified as held-for-sale and recorded at the lower of their amortized cost basis or fair value. New Residential discontinues the accretion of discounts on loans if they are reclassified from held-for-investment to held-for-sale. To the extent that the loans are classified as held-for-investment, New Residential periodically evaluates such loans for possible impairment as described in “—Impairment of Securities and Loans.”

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

'

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — New Residential considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. New Residential held $33.3 million of restricted cash related to the financing of the servicer advances (Note 6) that has been pledged to the note holders for interest and fees payable.

Derivatives

'

Derivatives — New Residential financed certain investments with the same counterparty from which it purchased those investments, and accounts for the contemporaneous purchase of the investments and the associated financings as linked transactions. Accordingly, New Residential records a non-hedge derivative instrument on a net basis, with changes in market value recorded as “Other Income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, New Residential presents the linked transactions on a gross basis with the related asset purchased reflected as an investment activity and the related financing as a financing activity.

Income Taxes

'

Income Taxes — New Residential operates so as to qualify as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Requirements for qualification as a REIT include various restrictions on ownership of New Residential’s stock, requirements concerning distribution of taxable income and certain restrictions on the nature of assets and sources of income. A REIT must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders of which 85% plus any undistributed amounts from the prior year must be distributed within the taxable year in order to avoid the imposition of an excise tax. Distribution of the remaining balance may extend until timely filing of New Residential’s tax return in the subsequent taxable year. Qualifying distributions of taxable income are deductible by a REIT in computing taxable income.

Certain activities of New Residential are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and therefore are subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases upon the change in tax status. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

New Residential recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations.

(B)

Deferred financing costs consist primarily of costs incurred in obtaining financing, which are amortized into interest expense over the term of the financing generally using the effective interest method.

Repurchase Agreements and Notes Payable

'

Repurchase Agreements and Notes Payable — New Residential’s repurchase agreements and notes payable are generally short-term debt that expire within one year. Such agreements and notes payable are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified by each repurchase or financing agreement, and generally treated as collateralized financing transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

'

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The new guidance does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, it requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income if the item reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety during the same reporting period. Presentation should occur either on the face of the income statement where net income is presented, or in the notes to the financial statements. New Residential has adopted this accounting standard. Refer to Note 16 for this presentation.

The FASB has recently issued or discussed a number of proposed standards on such topics as consolidation, financial statement presentation, revenue recognition, financial instruments, hedging, and contingencies. Some of the proposed changes are significant and could have a material impact on New Residential’s reporting. New Residential has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact of these proposals, but will make such an evaluation as the standards are finalized.

	(A)	This amount is required to be recorded as other-than-temporary impairment through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, New Residential’s management estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows include management’s expectations of prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses are measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate.
	(B)	This amount represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors and recorded through other comprehensive income.
	(C)	Securities New Residential intends to sell have a fair value equal to their amortized cost basis after impairment, and, therefore do not have unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2013.
	(D)	New Residential may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, New Residential must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales.

Schedule of real estate securities valuation methodology and results	'
	As of December 31, 2013, New Residential’s securities valuation methodology and results are further detailed as follows:
									Fair Value
	Asset Type		Outstanding			Amortized			Multiple			Total			Level
			Face Amount			Cost Basis			Quotes (A)
	Agency ARM RMBS		$	1,314,130		$	1,403,215		$	1,402,764		$	1,402,764			2
	Non-Agency RMBS			872,866			566,760			570,425			570,425			3
	Total		$	2,186,996		$	1,969,975		$	1,973,189		$	1,973,189
	(A)	Management generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold New Residential the security) for Non-Agency RMBS. Management selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of the fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because management believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. Management believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential’s own fair value analysis, management selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value. New Residential never adjusts quotes received. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” — meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to actually purchase the security at the quoted price.

[1]	Securities New Residential intends to sell have a fair value equal to amortized cost basis after impairment, and, therefore do not have unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2013.
[2]	This amount is required to be recorded as other-than-temporary impairment through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, New Residential's management estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows include management's expectations of prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses are measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment's effective interest rate.
[3]	New Residential may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, New Residential must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales.
[4]	This amount represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors and recorded through other comprehensive income.

[1]	Management generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold New Residential the security) for Non-Agency RMBS. Management selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of the fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because management believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. Management believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential's own fair value analysis, management selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value.

[1]	The total outstanding face amount was $6.6 million for fixed rate securities and $2.2 billion for floating rate securities.
[2]	Management generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold New Residential the security) for Non-Agency RMBS. Management selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of the fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because management believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. Management believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential's own fair value analysis, management selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value.
[3]	Includes securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").
[4]	Amortized cost basis and carrying value include principal receivable of $10.6 million.
