Note 1 — Organization and Operations | |
Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “CHMI”) was organized in the state of Maryland on October 31, 2012 to invest in residential mortgage assets in the United States. Under the Company’s charter, at December 31, 2012, CHMI was authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock. On June 6, 2013, the Company amended and restated its charter and increased its authorized capitalization. Accordingly, at December 31, 2013, the Company was authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per share. CHMI commenced operations on or about October 9, 2013. | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries, Cherry Hill Operating Partnership LP, Cherry Hill QRS I, LLC, Cherry Hill QRS II, LLC and Cherry Hill TRS, LLC. | |
On October 9, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 6,500,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The IPO and concurrent private placement resulted in the sale of 7,500,000 shares of common stock, at a price per share of $20.00. The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO and the concurrent private placement were approximately $148.1 million, after deducting offering-related expenses payable by the Company. The Company did not conduct any activity prior to the IPO and the concurrent private placement. Substantially all of the net proceeds from the IPO were used to invest in excess mortgage servicing rights on residential mortgage loans (“Excess MSRs”) and Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“Agency RMBS” or “securities”). | |
Prior to the IPO, the Company was a development stage company that had not commenced operations other than the organization of the Company. The Company completed the IPO and concurrent private placement on October 9, 2013, at which time the Company commenced operations. | |
Prior to the IPO, the sole stockholder of the Company was Stanley Middleman. On December 4, 2012, Mr. Middleman made a $1,000 initial capital contribution to CHMI in exchange for 1,000 shares of common stock, and, on October 9, 2013, CHMI repurchased these shares from Mr. Middleman for $1,000. | |
The Company is party to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Cherry Hill Mortgage Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company which is controlled by Mr. Middleman. For a further discussion of the Management Agreement, see Note 7. | |
The Company was taxed for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a Subchapter C corporation for the two month period from October 31, 2012 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012. On February 13, 2013, the Company elected to be taxed for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a Subchapter S corporation effective January 1, 2013, and, as such, all federal tax liabilities were the responsibility of the sole stockholder. In anticipation of the IPO, the Company elected to revoke its Subchapter S election on October 2, 2013 and will elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined under the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ended December 31, 2013. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income that will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. |

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and 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 CHMI and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. CHMI consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. | |||||||||
Emerging Growth Company Status | |||||||||
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. Because the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that it (i) is no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of this extended transition period. This election is irrevocable. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to those of other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that the Company is no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period, upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to the financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, the Company will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which it will adopt the recently issued accounting standard. | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates and assumptions. These include estimates of fair value of Agency RMBS, Excess MSRs, derivatives and credit losses including the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of securities sufficient to recover unrealized losses on those securities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature; actual results could differ from its estimates and differences may be material. | |||||||||
Risks and Uncertainties | |||||||||
In the normal course of business, CHMI encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on CHMI’s investments in Agency RMBS, Excess MSRs and derivatives that results from a borrower’s or derivative counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments in Agency RMBS, Excess MSRs and derivatives due to changes in interest rates, spreads or other market factors. | |||||||||
Additionally, CHMI is subject to the risks involved with real estate and real estate-related debt instruments. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, changes in the mortgage market, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, and the availability of financing. | |||||||||
Additionally, CHMI is subject to significant tax risks. If CHMI were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, CHMI would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, CHMI would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. | |||||||||
Agency RMBS | |||||||||
Classification – CHMI classifies its investments in Agency RMBS as securities available for sale. Although CHMI generally intends to hold most of its securities until maturity, it may, from time to time, sell any of its securities as part of its overall management of its portfolio. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent impairment losses, if any, are considered temporary. Unrealized losses on securities are charged to earnings if they reflect a decline in value that is other-than-temporary, as described below. | |||||||||
Fair value is determined under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). The Company determines fair value of its Agency RMBS investments based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing providers. The third-party pricing providers use pricing models that generally incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset period, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security. In determining the fair value of Agency RMBS, management judgment is used to arrive at fair value that considers prices obtained from third-party pricing providers and other applicable market data. The Company’s application of ASC 820 guidance is discussed in further detail at Note 9. | |||||||||
Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Purchases of newly-issued securities are recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the securities are removed, generally shortly before settlement date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in earnings. Approximately $7.2 million in Agency RMBS sold but not yet settled is receivable at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition – Interest income from coupon payments is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount of the Agency RMBS and their contractual terms. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of the Agency RMBS are accreted into interest income over the projected lives of the securities using the interest method. The Company’s policy for estimating prepayment speeds for calculating the effective yield is to evaluate historical performance, consensus prepayment speeds, and current market conditions. Adjustments are made for actual prepayment activity. Approximately $900,000 in interest income is receivable at December 31, 2013, and is classified as “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. | |||||||||
Impairment – CHMI evaluates its Agency RMBS, on a quarterly basis, to assess whether a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis is an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The presence of OTTI is based upon a fair value decline below a security’s amortized cost basis and a corresponding adverse change in expected cash flows due to credit related factors as well as non-credit factors, such as changes in interest rates and market spreads. Impairment is considered other-than-temporary if an entity (i) intends to sell the security, (ii) will more likely than not be required to sell the security before it recovers in value, or (iii) does not expect to recover the security’s amortized cost basis, even if the entity does not intend to sell the security. Under these scenarios, the impairment is other-than-temporary and the full amount of impairment should be recognized currently in earnings and the cost basis of the security is adjusted. However, if an entity does not intend to sell the impaired security and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell before recovery, the OTTI should be separated into (i) the estimated amount relating to credit loss, or credit component, and (ii) the amount relating to all other factors, or non-credit component. Only the estimated credit loss amount is recognized currently in earnings, with the remainder of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income. The difference between the new amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income in accordance with the effective interest method. | |||||||||
Investments in Excess MSRs | |||||||||
Classification – Upon acquisition, CHMI elected the fair value option to record its investments in Excess MSRs 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. Under this election, CHMI records a valuation adjustment on its investments in Excess MSRs on a quarterly basis to recognize the changes in fair value in net income as described below. Because valuation of Excess MSRs is not wholly based on listed price data, the fair value is based upon internally developed models that are primarily based on observable market-based inputs but also include unobservable market data inputs (see Note 9). | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition – 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 over 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 would be 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. The difference between the fair value of Excess MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded on the income statement as “Unrealized gain (loss) on 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. Approximately $2.8 million in Excess MSR cashflow is receivable at December 31, 2013, and is classified as “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. | |||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | |||||||||
Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions and TBAs. Swaps and swaptions are entered into by CHMI solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs are used for duration risk and basis risk management purposes. The decision of whether or not a given transaction/position (or portion thereof) is economically hedged is made on a case-by-case basis, based on the risks involved and other factors as determined by senior management, including restrictions imposed by the Code on REITs among others. In determining whether to economically hedge a risk, CHMI may consider whether other assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions already offset or reduce the risk. All transactions undertaken as economic hedges are entered into with a view towards minimizing the potential for economic losses that could be incurred by CHMI. Generally, derivatives entered into are not intended to qualify as hedges under GAAP, unless specifically stated otherwise. | |||||||||
CHMI’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. CHMI reduces such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one party resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties. CHMI’s major derivative counterparties include Citigroup, Wells Fargo Securities and Nomura. | |||||||||
Classification – All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value. Due to the nature of these instruments, they may be in a receivable/asset position or a payable/liability position at the end of an accounting period. Derivative amounts payable to, and receivable from, the same party under contracts may be offset as long as the following conditions are met: (i) each of the two parties owes the other determinable amounts; (ii) the reporting party has the right to offset the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party; (iii) the reporting party intends to offset; and (iv) the right to offset is enforceable by law. CHMI reports the fair value of derivative instruments gross of cash paid or received pursuant to credit support agreements, and fair value is reflected on a net counterparty basis when CHMI believes a legal right of offset exists under an enforceable master netting agreement. For further discussion on offsetting assets and liabilities, see Note 8. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition – With respect to interest rate swaps and swaptions that have not been designated as hedges, any net payments under, or fluctuations in the fair value of, such derivatives have been recognized currently in “Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives, net” in the consolidated statements of income. These derivatives may, to some extent, be economically effective as hedges. | |||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | |||||||||
CHMI 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. Restricted cash represents the Company’s cash held by counterparties as collateral against CHMI’s derivatives and/or repurchase agreements. | |||||||||
Due to Affiliate | |||||||||
This represents amounts due to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. For further information on the Management Agreement, see Note 7. | |||||||||

Total | $ | 2,279 | $ | — | |||||
Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense | |||||||||
CHMI finances its investments in Agency RMBS with short-term borrowings under master repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are generally short-term debt, which expire within one year. Borrowings under repurchase agreements generally bear interest rates of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR and are generally uncommitted. The repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest is recorded at the contractual amount on an accrual basis. | |||||||||
Dividends Payable | |||||||||
Because the Company is organized as a REIT under the Code, it is required by law to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, which it does so in the form of quarterly dividend payments. The Company accrues the dividend payable on the accounting date, which causes an offsetting reduction in retained earnings. | |||||||||
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 CHMI’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income, as presented in the consolidated statements of income, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on Agency RMBS, which are designated as available for sale. | |||||||||
Offering Costs | |||||||||
Offering costs of approximately $1.9 million incurred in connection with the Company’s IPO and concurrent private placement were reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital. Costs incurred which were not directly associated with the completion of the IPO and concurrent private placement were expensed as incurred. Offering costs incurred in connection with the IPO and concurrent private placement included, among others, the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, the costs of printing the prospectus for the IPO, the fees paid to apply to list the Company’s common stock and all filing fees paid in connection with the IPO. However, the Manager agreed to pay the underwriting discounts and commissions and a structuring fee of 0.375% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement without reimbursement from the Company. | |||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
The Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT, under the Code and the corresponding provisions of state law. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to stockholders within the time frame set forth in the Code, and the Company must also meet certain other requirements. | |||||||||
The Company assesses its tax positions for all open tax years and determines if it has any material unrecognized liabilities in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records these liabilities to the extent it deems them more-likely-than-not to be incurred. The Company classifies interest and penalties on material uncertain tax positions, if any, as interest expense and operating expense, respectively, in its consolidated statements of income. The Company has not incurred any interest or penalties. | |||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, which amends ASC 210, Balance Sheet. The amendments in this ASU enhance disclosures required by GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC 210, Balance Sheet, or ASC 815, Other Presentation Matters, or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to certain derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements. ASU 2013-01 is also effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adopting both ASU 2011-11 and 2013-01 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but did impact the related footnote disclosures. For further discussion on offsetting assets and liabilities, see Note 8. | |||||||||
Comprehensive Income – In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends ASC 320, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 provides disclosure guidance on amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income by component. The new guidance does not change the requirement to present items of net income and OCI and totals for net income, OCI and comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two consecutive statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Adopting ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Liabilities – In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-04 requires additional disclosures about joint and several liability arrangements and requires the Company to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements as the sum of the amount the Company agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the Company expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Adopting ASU 2013-04 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit – In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would not reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction, and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. ASU 2013-11 does not require any new recurring disclosures. It is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Early adopting ASU 2013-11 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

CHMI conducts its business through the following segments: (i) investments in RMBS; and (ii) investments in Excess MSRs. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, CHMI has capitalized a taxable REIT subsidiary, Cherry Hill TRS, LLC (“TRS”), for the purpose of obtaining mortgage servicing licenses. There have been no operations to date within the TRS, and the operations of the TRS are included in “All Other” until such time as the TRS becomes operational. | |||||||||||||||||
“All Other” consists primarily of general and administrative expenses including fees to the directors, and management fees pursuant to the Management Agreement (see Note 7). For segment reporting purposes, CHMI does not allocate interest income on short-term investments or general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||||||||||

At December 31, 2013, the Company pledged investments with a carrying value of approximately $261.3 million as collateral for repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any securities purchased from and financed with the same counterparty that did not meet the conditions of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, to be considered linked transactions and, therefore, classified as derivatives. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Unrealized losses that are considered other-than-temporary are recognized currently in earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2013, CHMI recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges (“OTTI”) of $0. Based on management’s analysis of these securities, the performance of the underlying loans and changes in market factors, management determined that unrealized losses as of the balance sheet date on CHMI’s securities were primarily the result of changes in market factors, rather than issuer-specific credit impairment. CHMI 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. Such market factors include changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, or certain macroeconomic events, which did not directly impact the Company’s ability to collect amounts contractually due. Management continually evaluates the credit status of each of CHMI’s securities and the collateral supporting those securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit of the issuer of the security (if applicable), the credit rating of the security, the key terms of the security (including credit support), debt service coverage and loan to value ratios, the performance of the pool of underlying loans and the estimated value of the collateral supporting such loans, including the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends and factors. In connection with the above, the Company weighs the fact that all of its investments in Agency RMBS are guaranteed by government agencies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
These factors include underlying loan default expectations and loss severities, which are analyzed in connection with a particular security’s credit support, as well as prepayment rates. The result of this evaluation is considered when determining management’s estimate of cash flows and in relation to the amount of the unrealized loss and the period elapsed since it was incurred. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. The following table summarizes CHMI’s securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In October 2013, CHMI entered into an agreement (“MSR Agreement 1”) with Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom Mortgage”), a leading residential mortgage servicer wholly-owned by the sole shareholder of the Manager, to invest in Excess MSRs with Freedom Mortgage. Freedom Mortgage originated the mortgage servicing rights on a pool of government sponsored enterprise residential fixed rate Ginnie Mae-eligible FHA and VA mortgage loans with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $10.0 billion (“MSR Pool 1”). Freedom Mortgage is entitled to receive an initial weighted average total mortgage servicing amount of approximately 28 basis points (“bps”) on the performing unpaid principal balance, as well as any ancillary income from MSR Pool 1. Pursuant to MSR Agreement 1, Freedom Mortgage performs all servicing functions and advancing functions related to MSR Pool 1 for a basic fee (the contractual amount the service is entitled to for performing the servicing duties) of 8 bps. Therefore, the remainder, or “excess mortgage servicing amount” is initially equal to a weighted average of 20 bps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
CHMI acquired the right to receive 85% of the excess mortgage servicing amount on MSR Pool 1 and, subject to certain limitations and pursuant to a loan replacement agreement (the “MSR Pool 1 — Recapture Agreement”), 85% of the Excess MSRs on certain future mortgage loans originated by Freedom Mortgage that represent refinancings of loans in MSR Pool l (which loans then become part of MSR Pool 1) for approximately $60.6 million. Freedom Mortgage has co-invested, pari passu with CHMI, in 15% of the Excess MSRs. Freedom Mortgage, as servicer, also retains the ancillary income and the servicing obligations and liabilities. If Freedom Mortgage is terminated as the servicer, CHMI’s right to receive its portion of the excess mortgage servicing amount is also terminated. To the extent that Freedom Mortgage is terminated as the servicer and receives a termination payment, CHMI is entitled to a pro rata share, or 85%, of such termination payment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The value, and absolute amount, of recapture activity tends to vary inversely with the direction of interest rates. When interest rates are falling, recapture rates tend to be higher due to increased opportunities for borrowers to refinance. As interest rates increase, however, there is likely to be less recapture activity. For MSR Pool 1, since we expect interest rates to rise relative to what they had been in the past, which is likely to reduce the level of voluntary prepayments, we expect recapture rates to be significantly lower than what they had been in the past and thus a lower market value for the related recapture agreement than when we purchased the pool. However, since prepayment rates are likely to decline at the same time, we expect overall prepayment rates to remain roughly constant. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
In October 2013, CHMI entered into an agreement (“MSR Agreement 2”) with Freedom Mortgage to invest with Freedom Mortgage. Freedom Mortgage acquired the mortgage servicing rights from a third-party seller on a pool of government sponsored enterprise residential Ginnie Mae-eligible VA hybrid adjustable rate mortgages with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $10.7 billion (“MSR Pool 2”). Freedom Mortgage is entitled to receive an initial weighted average total mortgage servicing amount of 44 bps on the performing unpaid principal balance, as well as any ancillary income from MSR Pool 2. Pursuant to MSR Agreement 2, Freedom Mortgage performs all servicing functions and advancing functions related to MSR Pool 2 for a basic fee (the contractual amount the service is entitled to for performing the servicing duties) of 10 bps. Therefore, the remainder, or “excess mortgage servicing amount” is initially equal to a weighted average of 34 bps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
CHMI acquired the right to receive 50% of the excess mortgage servicing amount on MSR Pool 2 and, subject to certain limitations and pursuant to a loan replacement agreement (the “MSR Pool 2 — Recapture Agreement”), 50% of the Excess MSRs on certain future mortgage loans originated by Freedom Mortgage that represent refinancings of loans in MSR Pool 2 (which loans then become part of MSR Pool 2) for approximately $38.4 million. Freedom Mortgage has co-invested, pari passu with CHMI, in 50% of the Excess MSRs. Freedom Mortgage, as servicer, also retains the ancillary income and the servicing obligations and liabilities. If Freedom Mortgage is terminated as the servicer, CHMI’s right to receive its portion of the excess mortgage servicing amount is also terminated. To the extent that Freedom Mortgage is terminated as the servicer and receives a termination payment, CHMI is entitled to a pro rata share, or 50%, of such termination payment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
MSR Pool 2 consists of adjustable rate mortgages, which have a higher prepayment speed than the fixed rate mortgage loans in MSR Pool 1. Our recapture percentage with respect to MSR Pool 2 has been higher than anticipated. This has resulted in a rise in market value of the recapture agreement related to MSR Pool 2. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The table below summarizes the geographic distribution for the top five states of the underlying residential mortgage loans of the Excess MSRs: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Percentage of Total Outstanding Unpaid Principal Balance | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
December 31, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
State Concentration | Percentage | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
California | 14.4 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Texas | 10 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Florida | 6.9 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Virginia | 6.6 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||
North Carolina | 5.6 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Geographic concentrations of investments expose CHMI to the risk of economic downturns within the relevant states. Any such downturn in a state where CHMI holds significant investments could affect the underlying borrower’s ability to make the mortgage payment and, therefore, could have a meaningful, negative impact on CHMI’s Excess MSRs. |

Equity Incentive Plan | |||||||||||||||||
During 2013, the Board of Directors approved and the Company adopted the Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, including long term incentive plan units (“LTIP-OP Units”) of the Company’s operating partnership, Cherry Hill Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). | |||||||||||||||||

LTIP-OP Units | 37,500 | 1,462,500 | |||||||||||||||
LTIP-OP Units (sometimes referred to as profits interest units) are a special class of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. LTIP-OP Units may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP-OP Units do not have full parity with the Operating Partnership’s common units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) with respect to liquidating distributions; however, LTIP-OP Units receive, whether vested or not, the same per-unit distributions as OP Units and are allocated their pro-rata share of the Company’s net income or loss. Under the terms of the LTIP-OP Units, the Operating Partnership will revalue its assets upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and any increase in the Operating Partnership’s valuation from the time of grant of the LTIP-OP Units until such event will be allocated first to the holders of LTIP-OP Units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of the holders of OP Units. Upon equalization of the capital accounts of the holders of LTIP-OP Units with the other holders of OP Units, the LTIP-OP Units will achieve full parity with OP Units for all purposes, including with respect to liquidating distributions. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP-OP Units may be converted into an equal number of OP Units at any time and, thereafter, enjoy all the rights of OP Units, including redemption/exchange rights. Each LTIP-OP Unit awarded is deemed equivalent to an award of one share under the 2013 Plan and reduces the 2013 Plan’s share authorization for other awards on a one-for-one basis. As of December 31, 2013, 1,462,500 shares remain for future issuance under the 2013 Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
During 2013 the Board of Directors approved a grant of 37,500 LTIP-OP Units upon the completion of the Company’s IPO on October 9, 2013 (the “grant date”). Of the total 37,500 LTIP-OP Units granted, 7,500 were granted to the Company’s independent directors, which vested immediately, and 30,000 LTIP-OP Units were granted to the Company’s executive officers and certain employees of Freedom Mortgage, which vest ratably over the first three year anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of each LTIP-OP Unit was determined based on the offering price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date (IPO date) of $20.00. The aggregate grant date fair value of the total 37,500 LTIP-OP Units was $750,000. | |||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, 7,500 LTIP-OP Units have vested, and the Company recognized $200,000 in share-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2013, there was $550,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to the 30,000 non-vested LTIP-OP Units. This unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of 2.75 years. The aggregate expense related to the LTIP-OP Unit grants is presented as “General and administrative expense” in the Company’s consolidated income statement. | |||||||||||||||||
Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership | |||||||||||||||||
Non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to LTIP-OP Units in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
Certain individuals own LTIP-OP Units in the Operating Partnership. An LTIP-OP Unit and a share of common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. LTIP-OP Units holders have the right to redeem their LTIP-OP Units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of common stock, cash, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, calculated as follows: one share of the Company’s common stock, or cash equal to the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption, for each LTIP-OP Unit. When an LTIP-OP Units holder redeems an OP Unit (as described above), non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and the Company’s equity is increased. | |||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, the non-controlling interest holders in the Operating Partnership owned 37,500 LTIP-OP Units, or 0.5% of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, regarding the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with non-controlling interest unit holders in the Operating Partnership) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest will be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
Earnings per Share | |||||||||||||||||
The Company is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect of common stock equivalents during each period. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, if there is a loss from continuing operations, the common stock equivalents are deemed anti-dilutive and earnings (loss) per share is calculated excluding the potential common shares. During 2013, the Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table presents basic net earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the two month period from October 31, 2012 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands, except per share data): | |||||||||||||||||

Manager | |||||
CHMI has entered into a management agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager provides for the day-to-day management of the Company’s operations (the “Management Agreement”). The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage CHMI’s business affairs in conformity with the policies and the investment guidelines that are approved and monitored by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Management Agreement will remain in full force until October 9, 2016 and provides for automatically renewing one-year terms thereafter subject to certain termination rights. The Manager’s performance is reviewed annually and may be terminated by the Company for cause without payment of a termination fee, or may be terminated without cause with payment of a termination fee, as defined in the Management Agreement, equal to three times the average annual management fee amount earned by the Manager during the two four-quarter periods ending as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the effective date of the termination, upon either the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, under the supervision of CHMI’s board of directors, formulates investment strategies, arranges for the acquisition of assets, arranges for financing, monitors the performance of CHMI’s assets and provides certain advisory, administrative and managerial services in connection with the operations of CHMI. For performing these services, CHMI pays the Manager a quarterly management fee equal to the product of one quarter of the 1.5% Management Fee Annual Rate and the Stockholders’ Equity as of the end of such fiscal quarter. | |||||
The Manager is a party to a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Freedom Mortgage, pursuant to which Freedom Mortgage provides to the Manager the personnel, services and resources as needed by the Manager to enable the Manager to carry out its obligations and responsibilities under the Management Agreement. CHMI is a named third-party beneficiary to the Services Agreement and, as a result, has, as a non-exclusive remedy, a direct right of action against Freedom Mortgage in the event of any breach by the Manager of any of its duties, obligations or agreements under the Management Agreement that arise out of or result from any breach by Freedom Mortgage of its obligations under the Services Agreement. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Manager will make certain payments to Freedom Mortgage in connection with the services provided. All of CHMI’s executive officers and the officers and employees of the Manager are also officers or employees of Freedom Mortgage. As a result, the Management Agreement between CHMI and the Manager was negotiated between related parties, and the terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to CHMI as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. Both the Manager and Freedom Mortgage are controlled by Mr. Stanley Middleman. | |||||
From October 31, 2012 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, CHMI shared office space with Freedom Mortgage. In accordance with the Management Agreement between CHMI and the Manager, for the period indicated above, the Manager did not allocate rent, overhead, reimbursable executives’ salaries, or other miscellaneous office expenses to CHMI, as it had not commenced operations as of September 30, 2013 and had not generated revenue during the period. The Manager commenced allocating expenses to the Company in October 2013, the first month during which the Company commenced operations. | |||||
The Management Agreement provides that CHMI will reimburse the Manager for various expenses incurred by the Manager or its officers, employees and agents on CHMI’s behalf, including costs of legal, accounting, tax, administrative and other similar services rendered for CHMI by providers retained by the Manager or, if provided by the Manager’s employees, in amounts which are no greater than those which would be payable to outside professionals or consultants engaged to perform such services pursuant to agreements negotiated on an arm’s-length basis.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Swaptions and TBAs | |||||||||||||||||
In order to help mitigate exposure to higher short-term interest rates in connection with its repurchase agreements, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements. These agreements establish an economic fixed rate on related borrowings because the variable-rate payments received on the interest rate swap agreements largely offset interest accruing on the related borrowings, leaving the fixed-rate payments to be paid on the interest rate swap agreements as the Company’s effective borrowing rate, subject to certain adjustments including changes in spreads between variable rates on the interest rate swap agreements and actual borrowing rates. A swaption is an option granting its owner the right but not the obligation to enter into an underlying swap. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements and swaptions have not been designated as hedging instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
In order to help mitigate duration risk and basis risk management, we utilize forward-settling purchases and sales of Agency RMBS where the underlying pools of mortgage loans are “to-be-announced” (TBAs). Pursuant to these TBA transactions, we agree to purchase or sell, for future delivery, Agency RMBS with certain principal and interest terms and certain types of underlying collateral, but the particular Agency RMBS to be delivered is not identified until shortly before the TBA settlement date. | |||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Fair Value | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Note 9 – Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||||||
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). Additionally, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability. | |||||||||||||||||
ASC 820 establishes a three level hierarchy to be used when measuring and disclosing fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Following is a description of the three levels | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date under current market conditions. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2 | Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full-term of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets and liabilities, including risk. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation. | ||||||||||||||||
Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized. | |||||||||||||||||
Agency RMBS | |||||||||||||||||
The Company holds a portfolio of Agency RMBS that are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company determines the fair value of its Agency RMBS based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing providers. The third-party pricing providers use pricing models that generally incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset period, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security. As a result, the Company classified 100% of its Agency RMBS as Level 2 fair value assets at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Excess MSRs | |||||||||||||||||
The Company holds a portfolio of Excess MSRs that are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Although Excess MSR transactions are observable in the marketplace, the valuation includes unobservable market data inputs (prepayment speeds, delinquency levels and discount rates). As a result, the Company classified 100% of its Excess MSRs as Level 3 fair value assets at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
The Company may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its economic hedging strategies. The Company principally executes over-the-counter derivative contracts, specifically interest rate swaps and swaptions. The Company utilizes third-party pricing providers to value its financial derivative instruments. The Company classified 100% of the interest rate swaps and swaptions as Level 2 fair value assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company also enters into certain other derivative financial instruments, such as TBAs. These instruments are similar in form to the Company’s Agency RMBS available for sale securities and the Company utilizes a pricing service to value TBAs. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company has netting arrangements in place with certain derivative counterparties pursuant to standard documentation developed by the ISDA. Additionally, both the Company and the counterparties are required to post cash collateral based upon the net underlying market value of the Company’s open positions with the counterparties. Posting of cash collateral typically occurs daily, subject to certain dollar thresholds. Due to the existence of netting arrangements, as well as frequent cash collateral posting at low posting thresholds, credit exposure to the Company and/or counterparties is considered materially mitigated. Based on the Company’s assessment, there is no requirement for any additional adjustment to derivative valuations specifically for credit. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company may be required to measure certain assets or liabilities at fair value from time to time. These periodic fair value measures typically result from application of certain impairment measures under GAAP. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures under ASC 820. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 Assets and Liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
The valuation of Level 3 instruments requires significant judgment by the third-party pricing providers and/or management. The third-party pricing providers and/or management rely on inputs such as market price quotations from market makers (either market or indicative levels), original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows to determine fair value. Level 3 instruments may also be discounted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the third-party pricing provider in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the third-party pricing provider due to lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management reviews all valuations that are based on pricing information received from a third-party pricing provider. As part of this review, prices are compared against other pricing or input data points in the marketplace, along with internal valuation expertise, to ensure the pricing is reasonable. | |||||||||||||||||
In connection with the above, CHMI estimates the fair value of its Excess MSRs based on internal pricing models rather than quotations, and compares these internal models against models generated by third-party valuation specialists. The determination of estimated cash flows used in pricing models is inherently subjective and imprecise. Changes in market conditions, as well as changes in the assumptions or methodology used to determine fair value, could result in a significant change to estimated fair values. It should be noted that minor changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these derived or estimated fair values, and that the fair values reflected below are indicative of the interest rate and credit spread environments as of December 31, 2013 and do not take into consideration the effects of subsequent changes in market or other factors. | |||||||||||||||||

(B) | Significant increases (decreases) in any of the inputs in isolation may result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A change in the assumption used for discount rates may be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the probability of delinquency and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. | ||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC 820, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which fair value can be estimated. The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
• | Agency RMBS available for sale securities, Excess MSRs, derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recurring fair value measurements; carrying value equals fair value. See discussion of valuation methods and assumptions within the “Fair Value Measurements” section of this footnote. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash have a carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. | ||||||||||||||||
• | The carrying value of repurchase agreements that mature in less than one year generally approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The Company does not hold any repurchase agreements that are considered long-term. |

Commitments and Contingencies | ' |
Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies | |
The following represents commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2013: | |
Management Agreement | |
CHMI pays the Manager a quarterly management fee equal to the product of one quarter of the 1.5% Management Fee Annual Rate and the Stockholders’ Equity as of the end of such fiscal quarter. Additionally, the Company does not directly employ any personnel. Instead, the Company relies on resources of Freedom Mortgage to provide the Manager with the necessary resources to conduct Company operations. For further discussion regarding the Management Fee, refer to Note 7. | |
Legal and Regulatory | |
From time to time the Company may be subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimable. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established for those claims. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, no accrual is required as of December 31, 2013. | |
Commitments to purchase Agency RMBS | |
In 2013, the Company entered into forward TBA purchase commitments with counterparties, which are forward Agency RMBS trades, whereby the Company committed to purchasing a pool of securities at a particular interest rate. As of the date of the trade, the underlying mortgage-backed securities underlying the pool that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not yet designated. The securities are typically “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. At December 31, 2013, the Company is obligated to purchase approximately $35.9 million of Fannie-Mae securities and is obliged to sell approximately $30.3 million of Fannie-Mae securities. | |
Acknowledgement Agreement | |
In order to acquire Excess MSRs related to FHA and VA mortgage loans that have been pooled into securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, we must enter into an acknowledgment agreement with Ginnie Mae and the Ginnie Mae-approved issuer/servicer for the mortgage loans if we want to have Ginnie Mae acknowledge our interest in the relevant mortgage loans. Under that agreement, if the issuer/servicer fails to make a required payment to the holders of the Ginnie Mae-guaranteed Agency RMBS, we would be obligated to make that payment even though the payment may relate to loans for which we do not own any Excess MSRs. | |
Our failure to make that payment could result in liability to Ginnie Mae for any losses or claims that it suffers as a result. In addition, under an acknowledgment agreement with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, we could be exposed to potential liability in the event of a payment default by an approved seller/servicer. However, the amount of the potential liability to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would be limited to the mortgage loans in the servicing portfolio identified in the acknowledgment agreement. | |
Management has determined, as of December 31, 2013, the risk of material loss to be remote and thus no liability has been accrued. |

Note 13 – Income Taxes | |
For the period October 31, 2012 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, the Company was taxable as a corporation and, as such, was subject to federal, state and local taxation. The Company incurred certain expenses during the period but had not commenced operations. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $10,000 related to these start-up expenses. Given that the Company was in its first year of operations and did not expected to realize the benefits of the deferred tax asset, management concluded that a full valuation allowance was required. | |
On January 1, 2013, the Company elected to be taxed as a Subchapter S corporation and, as such, all federal tax liabilities are the responsibility of the Company’s sole stockholder, Mr. Stanley Middleman. The Company had no state and local income tax liability for the period that it was taxed as a Subchapter S corporation. On October 2, 2013, the Company elected to revoke its Subchapter S election. | |
The Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its year ended December 31, 2013. As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent it annually distributes its net taxable income to stockholders, does not engage in prohibited transactions, and maintains its intended qualification as a REIT. The majority of states also recognize the Company’s REIT status. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2013, the Company met the conditions for REIT status set forth above, and, as such, did not produce income that is not qualifying income for REIT purposes. |

On March 18, 2014, the Company declared of $0.50 per share on the Company’s common stock payable in cash on April 29, 2014 to holders of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2014. | |
On March 20, 2014, the Company executed a bulk purchase agreement with Freedom Mortgage, for Excess MSRs on mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $161.1 million, which Freedom Mortgage purchased from a third party on January 31, 2014. The Company will acquire an approximate 70% interest in the Excess MSRs for approximately $966,600. This transaction is expected to close on March 31, 2014. The terms of the agreement are substantially similar to the previous agreements with Freedom Mortgage. |

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 CHMI and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. CHMI consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. | |||||||||
Emerging Growth Company Status | ' | ||||||||
Emerging Growth Company Status | |||||||||
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. Because the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that it (i) is no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of this extended transition period. This election is irrevocable. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to those of other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that the Company is no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period, upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to the financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, the Company will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which it will adopt the recently issued accounting standard. | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates and assumptions. These include estimates of fair value of Agency RMBS, Excess MSRs, derivatives and credit losses including the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of securities sufficient to recover unrealized losses on those securities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature; actual results could differ from its estimates and differences may be material. | |||||||||
Risks and Uncertainties | ' | ||||||||
Risks and Uncertainties | |||||||||
In the normal course of business, CHMI encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on CHMI’s investments in Agency RMBS, Excess MSRs and derivatives that results from a borrower’s or derivative counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments in Agency RMBS, Excess MSRs and derivatives due to changes in interest rates, spreads or other market factors. | |||||||||
Additionally, CHMI is subject to the risks involved with real estate and real estate-related debt instruments. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, changes in the mortgage market, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, and the availability of financing. | |||||||||
Additionally, CHMI is subject to significant tax risks. If CHMI were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, CHMI would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, CHMI would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. | |||||||||
Agency RMBS | ' | ||||||||
Agency RMBS | |||||||||
Classification – CHMI classifies its investments in Agency RMBS as securities available for sale. Although CHMI generally intends to hold most of its securities until maturity, it may, from time to time, sell any of its securities as part of its overall management of its portfolio. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent impairment losses, if any, are considered temporary. Unrealized losses on securities are charged to earnings if they reflect a decline in value that is other-than-temporary, as described below. | |||||||||
Fair value is determined under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). The Company determines fair value of its Agency RMBS investments based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing providers. The third-party pricing providers use pricing models that generally incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset period, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security. In determining the fair value of Agency RMBS, management judgment is used to arrive at fair value that considers prices obtained from third-party pricing providers and other applicable market data. The Company’s application of ASC 820 guidance is discussed in further detail at Note 9. | |||||||||
Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Purchases of newly-issued securities are recorded when all significant uncertainties regarding the characteristics of the securities are removed, generally shortly before settlement date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in earnings. Approximately $7.2 million in Agency RMBS sold but not yet settled is receivable at December 31, 2013. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition – Interest income from coupon payments is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount of the Agency RMBS and their contractual terms. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of the Agency RMBS are accreted into interest income over the projected lives of the securities using the interest method. The Company’s policy for estimating prepayment speeds for calculating the effective yield is to evaluate historical performance, consensus prepayment speeds, and current market conditions. Adjustments are made for actual prepayment activity. Approximately $900,000 in interest income is receivable at December 31, 2013, and is classified as “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. | |||||||||
Impairment – CHMI evaluates its Agency RMBS, on a quarterly basis, to assess whether a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis is an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The presence of OTTI is based upon a fair value decline below a security’s amortized cost basis and a corresponding adverse change in expected cash flows due to credit related factors as well as non-credit factors, such as changes in interest rates and market spreads. Impairment is considered other-than-temporary if an entity (i) intends to sell the security, (ii) will more likely than not be required to sell the security before it recovers in value, or (iii) does not expect to recover the security’s amortized cost basis, even if the entity does not intend to sell the security. Under these scenarios, the impairment is other-than-temporary and the full amount of impairment should be recognized currently in earnings and the cost basis of the security is adjusted. However, if an entity does not intend to sell the impaired security and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell before recovery, the OTTI should be separated into (i) the estimated amount relating to credit loss, or credit component, and (ii) the amount relating to all other factors, or non-credit component. Only the estimated credit loss amount is recognized currently in earnings, with the remainder of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income. The difference between the new amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income in accordance with the effective interest method. | |||||||||
Investments in Excess MSRs | ' | ||||||||
Investments in Excess MSRs | |||||||||
Classification – Upon acquisition, CHMI elected the fair value option to record its investments in Excess MSRs 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. Under this election, CHMI records a valuation adjustment on its investments in Excess MSRs on a quarterly basis to recognize the changes in fair value in net income as described below. Because valuation of Excess MSRs is not wholly based on listed price data, the fair value is based upon internally developed models that are primarily based on observable market-based inputs but also include unobservable market data inputs (see Note 9). | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition – 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 over 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 would be 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. The difference between the fair value of Excess MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded on the income statement as “Unrealized gain (loss) on 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. Approximately $2.8 million in Excess MSR cashflow is receivable at December 31, 2013, and is classified as “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. | |||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | ' | ||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | |||||||||
Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions and TBAs. Swaps and swaptions are entered into by CHMI solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs are used for duration risk and basis risk management purposes. The decision of whether or not a given transaction/position (or portion thereof) is economically hedged is made on a case-by-case basis, based on the risks involved and other factors as determined by senior management, including restrictions imposed by the Code on REITs among others. In determining whether to economically hedge a risk, CHMI may consider whether other assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions already offset or reduce the risk. All transactions undertaken as economic hedges are entered into with a view towards minimizing the potential for economic losses that could be incurred by CHMI. Generally, derivatives entered into are not intended to qualify as hedges under GAAP, unless specifically stated otherwise. | |||||||||
CHMI’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. CHMI reduces such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one party resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties. CHMI’s major derivative counterparties include Citigroup, Wells Fargo Securities and Nomura. | |||||||||
Classification – All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value. Due to the nature of these instruments, they may be in a receivable/asset position or a payable/liability position at the end of an accounting period. Derivative amounts payable to, and receivable from, the same party under contracts may be offset as long as the following conditions are met: (i) each of the two parties owes the other determinable amounts; (ii) the reporting party has the right to offset the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party; (iii) the reporting party intends to offset; and (iv) the right to offset is enforceable by law. CHMI reports the fair value of derivative instruments gross of cash paid or received pursuant to credit support agreements, and fair value is reflected on a net counterparty basis when CHMI believes a legal right of offset exists under an enforceable master netting agreement. For further discussion on offsetting assets and liabilities, see Note 8. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition – With respect to interest rate swaps and swaptions that have not been designated as hedges, any net payments under, or fluctuations in the fair value of, such derivatives have been recognized currently in “Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives, net” in the consolidated statements of income. These derivatives may, to some extent, be economically effective as hedges. | |||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | ' | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | |||||||||
CHMI 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. Restricted cash represents the Company’s cash held by counterparties as collateral against CHMI’s derivatives and/or repurchase agreements. | |||||||||

Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense | ' | ||||||||
Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense | |||||||||
CHMI finances its investments in Agency RMBS with short-term borrowings under master repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are generally short-term debt, which expire within one year. Borrowings under repurchase agreements generally bear interest rates of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR and are generally uncommitted. The repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest is recorded at the contractual amount on an accrual basis. | |||||||||
Dividends Payable | ' | ||||||||
Dividends Payable | |||||||||
Because the Company is organized as a REIT under the Code, it is required by law to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, which it does so in the form of quarterly dividend payments. The Company accrues the dividend payable on the accounting date, which causes an offsetting reduction in retained earnings. | |||||||||
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 CHMI’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income, as presented in the consolidated statements of income, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on Agency RMBS, which are designated as available for sale. | |||||||||
Offering Costs | ' | ||||||||
Offering Costs | |||||||||
Offering costs of approximately $1.9 million incurred in connection with the Company’s IPO and concurrent private placement were reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital. Costs incurred which were not directly associated with the completion of the IPO and concurrent private placement were expensed as incurred. Offering costs incurred in connection with the IPO and concurrent private placement included, among others, the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, the costs of printing the prospectus for the IPO, the fees paid to apply to list the Company’s common stock and all filing fees paid in connection with the IPO. However, the Manager agreed to pay the underwriting discounts and commissions and a structuring fee of 0.375% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and concurrent private placement without reimbursement from the Company. | |||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
The Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT, under the Code and the corresponding provisions of state law. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to stockholders within the time frame set forth in the Code, and the Company must also meet certain other requirements. | |||||||||
The Company assesses its tax positions for all open tax years and determines if it has any material unrecognized liabilities in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company records these liabilities to the extent it deems them more-likely-than-not to be incurred. The Company classifies interest and penalties on material uncertain tax positions, if any, as interest expense and operating expense, respectively, in its consolidated statements of income. The Company has not incurred any interest or penalties. | |||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, which amends ASC 210, Balance Sheet. The amendments in this ASU enhance disclosures required by GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC 210, Balance Sheet, or ASC 815, Other Presentation Matters, or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to certain derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements. ASU 2013-01 is also effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Adopting both ASU 2011-11 and 2013-01 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but did impact the related footnote disclosures. For further discussion on offsetting assets and liabilities, see Note 8. | |||||||||
Comprehensive Income – In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends ASC 320, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 provides disclosure guidance on amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income by component. The new guidance does not change the requirement to present items of net income and OCI and totals for net income, OCI and comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two consecutive statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Adopting ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Liabilities – In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-04 requires additional disclosures about joint and several liability arrangements and requires the Company to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements as the sum of the amount the Company agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the Company expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Adopting ASU 2013-04 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit – In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would not reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction, and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. ASU 2013-11 does not require any new recurring disclosures. It is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Early adopting ASU 2013-11 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
Transfers and Servicing | ' | ||||||||
At December 31, 2013, the Company pledged investments with a carrying value of $261.3 million as collateral for repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any securities purchased from and financed with the same counterparty that did not meet the conditions of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, to be considered linked transactions and, therefore, classified as derivatives. | |||||||||

Fair Value Measurements | ' | ||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). Additionally, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability. |
