The amount at risk is defined as the fair value of assets pledged as collateral to the financing arrangement in excess of the financing arrangement liability.

The financings under certain of our repurchase agreements are subject to margin calls to the extent the market value of the collateral subject to repurchase agreement falls below specified levels and repurchase may be accelerated upon an event of default under the repurchase agreements. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had assets available to be posted as margin which included liquid assets, such as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and unencumbered securities that could be monetized to pay down or collateralize the liability immediately. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $215.8 million included in cash and cash equivalents and $127.5 million in unencumbered investment securities available to meet additional haircuts or market valuation requirements.

(2)Costs related to the repurchase agreements, which include commitment, underwriting, legal, accounting and other fees, are reflected as deferred charges. Such costs are presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense using the effective interest method, or straight line-method, if the result is not materially different.
(3)The Company expects to roll outstanding amounts under these repurchase agreements into new repurchase agreements or other financings, or to repay outstanding amounts, prior to or at maturity.

During the terms of the repurchase agreements, proceeds from the residential loans will be applied to pay any price differential and to reduce the aggregate repurchase price of the collateral. The financings under the repurchase agreements with one of the counterparties with an aggregate outstanding balance of $245.0 million as of March 31, 2023 are subject to margin calls to the extent the market value of the residential loans falls below specified levels and repurchase may be accelerated upon an event of default under the repurchase agreements.

The Company, as required by a repurchase agreement with one counterparty, has entered into an interest rate cap contract that limits the indexed portion of the interest rate on the related repurchase agreement to a strike price of Term SOFR of 4.10% on the $111.0 million notional amount with an expiration date of November 17, 2024. The fair value of the interest rate cap contract of $1.2 million and $1.5 million is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized unrealized losses of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 which is included in non-interest (loss) income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company's repurchase agreements contain various covenants, including among other things, the maintenance of certain amounts of liquidity and total stockholders' equity. The Company is in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2023 and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Investment Securities

The Company has entered into repurchase agreements with financial institutions to finance certain investment securities available for sale, securities owned in Consolidated SLST and CDOs repurchased from our residential loan securitizations. These repurchase agreements provide short-term financing that bear interest rates typically based on a spread to SOFR and are secured by the investment securities which they finance and additional collateral pledged, if any. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had amounts outstanding under repurchase agreements with three counterparties.
