In a nutshell there is a lot of debt here, and book represents an estimation of realizable values and when you are talking about residual interests in mortgages that is a highly volatile figure. Not only that but it looks like they missed the boat badly in their estimates last year. How do we know the estimate is going to be any better this year? You could make a bundle or lose everything but without a lot of anlaysis and accesss to an audit report I have no idea what the outcome for shareholders will be.

What about the billion dollars of debt? This one looks like it will either be a triple or a bankruptcy. A balance sheet full of spread lending and weird securities at a time when the yield curve is doing very strange things. Be careful.
