The Company has elected the fair value option on the assets and liabilities held within the Consolidated K-Series, which requires that changes in valuations in the assets and liabilities of the Consolidated K-Series be reflected in the Company's statements of operations. Our investment in the Consolidated K-Series is limited to the multi-family CMBS comprised of first loss tranche PO securities and/or certain IOs issued by certain K-Series securitizations with an aggregate net carrying value of $240.0 million and $123.3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Note 7).  


During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company consolidated two additional Freddie Mac K-Series securitizations. The condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Consolidated K-Series at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
