Chairman’s Letter

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”) returned -6.64% based on its NYSE share price and 1.67% based on its net asset value. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark and generally regarded as representative of the bond market as a whole, returned 0.15% for the same period. It’s important to note that the second quarter 2004 was an unusual period for closed-end funds, as the prospect of rising short-term interest rates became imminent. As a result, share prices of closed-end funds were particularly negatively impacted, and the Fund’s share price decreased during the month of April. However, since June 30, the Fund’s share price improved.

 

The Fund’s longer-term performance continued to be solid, as the Fund posted annualized returns of 8.90% based on its NYSE share price and 8.46% based on its net asset value for the five-year period ended June 30, 2004. The Fund outperformed the Lehman Index return of 6.95% for the five-year period.

 

Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1. Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.

 

Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.

 

On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Fund’s portfolio and total return investment performance, including PIMCO’s discussion of those factors that affected performance during the six-month period.

 

We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs. If you have any questions regarding your PIMCO Funds investment, please contact your account manager or call one of our shareholder associates at 1-866-746-2606.

Important Information About the Fund

 

We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bonds funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.

 

The Fund may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk and high yield security risk. The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that the Fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Fund investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds.

 

The credit quality of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the Fund.

 

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund.

Important Information (continued)

 

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on the Fund’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Fund.

 

Example

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

 

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period from 01/01/04 to 06/30/04.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The line graph depicts the value of a net $10,000 investment made at the Fund’s inception on September 2, 1993 and held through June 30, 2004, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. Investment performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distribution, if any. The Fund’s NYSE Market Value performance does not reflect the effect of sales loads or broker commissions. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Investment return and share value will fluctuate so that Fund shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

 

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS

 

The PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

 

For the 6-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Fund returned –6.64% based on its NYSE market price and 1.67% based on its net asset value, compared to a 0.15% return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index during the same period.

 

For the first six months of 2004, investment grade CMBS outperformed U.S. Treasuries and slightly outperformed investment grade corporates.

 

The Fund’s curve structure was negative for returns, as the yield curve flattened during the period.

 

An emphasis on BBB rated bonds was positive, as this sector of the market outperformed higher rated issues.

 

Leverage in the Fund’s portfolio earned a positive spread, which benefited returns.

 

The Fund continued to benefit from its investments in the high yield sector.

(a) Total investment return on market value is the combination of reinvested dividend income, reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, and changes in market price per share. Total investment returns exclude the effects of sales loads.
(b) Total investment return on net asset value is the combination of reinvested dividend income, reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, and changes in net asset value per share.
(c) Indicates a period in which, as a result of a change in generally accepted accounting principles, the portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under certain derivative instruments, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. The effect of this reclassification was to increase the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by (0.05)% and the net investment income per share by $(0.01). For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.24)% and 0.01% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.03) and $0.00 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003 and 2001 respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

 

1. General Information

 

The PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”) commenced operations on September 2, 1993. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as a closed-end, non-diversified, investment management company organized as a Maryland corporation. The stock exchange symbol of the Fund is PCM. Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Directors, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, , or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Effective June 18, 2004, the net asset value per share is determined on each business day. Prior to June 18, 2004, net asset value per share is determined as of 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time, no less frequently than Thursday of each week (except where such Thursday is not a business day, then the first business day immediately succeeding such Thursday). Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delay delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are subject to market value fluctuations during this period. On the commitment date of such purchases, the Fund designates specific assets with a value at least equal to the commitment, to be utilized to settle the commitment. The proceeds to be received from delayed-delivery sales are included in the Fund’s net assets on the date the commitment is executed. Accordingly, any fluctuation in the value of such assets is excluded from the Fund’s net asset value while the commitment is in effect. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statements of Operations.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund intends to distribute all its net investment income monthly. Distributions, if any, of net realized short- or long-term capital gains will be distributed no less frequently than once each year. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.

 

14 PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Semi-Annual Report | June 30, 2004


Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Fund has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

 

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

 

Futures Contracts. The Fund is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

 

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of a portfolio-eligible security by the Fund, coupled with an agreement to repurchase the security at a specified date and price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities retained by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the securities sold by the Fund, which is obligated to repurchase. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowing by the Fund. To the extent the Fund collateralizes its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, such transactions will not be deemed subject to the 300% asset coverage requirements imposed by the Act of 1940. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.

 

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Fund may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBS). SMBS represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. SMBS include interest-only securities (IOs), which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs), which receive all of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated payments of principal, the Fund may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.

 

Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

June 30, 2004 | PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Semi-Annual Report 15


Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

 

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

 

As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Fund has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(68,060) and $(336,428), and net realized gain by $137,938 and $266,550 and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $(69,878) and $69,878 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Fund’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.

 

U.S. Government Agencies Or Government-Sponsored Enterprises. Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. GNMA, a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Manager Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) is a majority owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as investment manager (the “Manager”) to the Fund, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Manager receives a quarterly fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.725% based on average weekly net assets of the Fund.

 

Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Fund for which it receives from the Fund a quarterly administrative fee at an annual rate of 0.10% based on average weekly net assets of the Fund.

 

Expenses. The Fund is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Fund’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses and bank overdraft fees; (v) fees and expenses of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Fund, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) printing expense; (vii) proxy expense; (viii) legal fees; (ix) audit fees; (x) custodian fees and (xi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses. The ratio of expenses to average net assets, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual fund operating expenses as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. Each unaffiliated Director receives an annual retainer of $6,000, plus $1,000 for each Board of Directors meeting attended in person and $500 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities

 

The length of time a fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) may involve correspondingly greater expenses to a fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

 

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

U.S Government/Agency

  All Other

Purchases

  Sales

$    3,434   $     7,340   $     28,193   $     7,271

 

5. Borrowings under Reverse Repurchase Agreements

 

The average amount of borrowings outstanding during the period ended June 30, 2004 was $69,999,615 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.13%. On June 30, 2004, securities valued at $75,274,750 were pledged as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund is authorized to borrow funds and utilize leverage in amounts not exceeding thirty-three and one-third percent of its total assets. The Fund’s ability to leverage creates an opportunity for increased net income, but at the same time poses special risks. If the income from the securities purchased with borrowed funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of borrowing, the net income of the Fund will be less than if borrowing had not been used, reducing the amount available for distribution to shareholders.

 

6. Federal Income Tax Matters

 

At June 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of investments was the same for federal income tax and financial statement purposes. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments securities for federal income tax purposes were follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Aggregate Gross

7. Regulatory and Litigation Matters

 

On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.

 

On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.

 

On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

 

LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.

 

On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (“PVIT”), the Fund and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

 

The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, PVIT, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.

 

On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.

 

Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.

 

These legal and regulatory developments do not relate to closed-end investment companies such as the Fund. None of the aforementioned complaints alleges that any market timing activity took place in the Fund. PIMCO believes that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on PIMCO’s ability to perform its investment advisory services on behalf of the Fund.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Unaudited)

 

What is the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc.?

 

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan offers shareholders in the Fund an efficient and simple way to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, in additional shares of the Fund. Each month the Fund will distribute to shareholders substantially all of its net investment income. The Fund expects to distribute at least annually any net realized long-term or short-term capital gains. EquiServe acts as Plan Agent for shareholders in administering the Plan.

 

Who can participate in the Plan?

 

All shareholders in the Fund may participate in the Plan by following the instructions for enrollment provided later in this section.

 

What does the Plan offer?

 

The Plan offers shareholders a simple and convenient means to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.

 

How is the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions accomplished?

 

If you are a participant in the Plan, your dividends and capital gains distributions will be reinvested automatically for you, increasing your holding in the Fund. If the Fund declares a dividend or capital gains distribution payable either in cash or in shares of the Fund, you will automatically receive shares of the Fund. If the market price of shares is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share on the Valuation Date (as defined below), Plan participants will be issued shares valued at the net asset value most recently determined or, if net asset value is less than 95% of the then current market price, then at 95% of the market price.

 

If the market price is less than the net asset value on the Valuation Date, the Plan Agent will buy shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. If, following the commencement of the purchase and before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund at net asset value. Additionally, if the market price exceeds the net asset value before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the Plan Agent is permitted to cease purchasing shares and the Fund may issue the remaining shares at a price equal to the greater of net asset value or 95% of the then current market price. In a case where the Plan Agent has terminated open market purchases and the Fund has issued the remaining shares, the number of shares received by the participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares. The Plan Agent will apply all cash received to purchase shares as soon as practicable after the payment date of the dividend or capital gains distribution, but in no event later than 30 days after that date, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

 

The Valuation Date is the dividend or capital gains distribution payment date or, if that date is not a NYSE trading day, the immediately preceding trading day. All reinvestments are in full and fractional shares, carried to three decimal places.

 

Is there a cost to participate?

 

There is no direct charge to participants for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions, since the Plan Agent’s fees are paid by the Fund. There are no brokerage charges for shares issued directly by the Fund. Whenever shares are purchased on the NYSE or elsewhere in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, each participant will pay a pro rata portion of brokerage commissions. Brokerage charges for purchasing shares through the Plan are expected to be less than the usual brokerage charges for individual transactions, because the Plan Agent will purchase shares for all participants in blocks, resulting in lower commissions for each individual participant.

 

What are the tax implications for participants?

 

You will receive tax information annually for your personal records to help you prepare your federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions does not affect the tax characterization of the dividends and capital gains. Other questions should be directed to your tax adviser.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Unaudited) (Cont.)

 

How do participating shareholders benefit?

 

You will build holdings in the Fund easily and automatically at reduced costs.

 

You will receive a detailed account statement from the Plan Agent, showing total dividends and distributions, dates of investments, shares acquired and price per share, and total shares of record held by you and by the Plan Agent for you. The proxy you receive in connection with the Fund’s shareholder meetings will include shares purchased for you by the Plan Agent according to the Plan.

 

As long as you participate in the Plan, shares acquired through the Plan will be held for you in safekeeping in non-certificated form by State Street Bank & Trust Co., the Plan Agent. This convenience provides added protection against loss, theft or inadvertent destruction of certificates.

 

Whom should I contact for additional information?

 

If you hold shares in your own name, please address all notices, correspondence, questions or other communications regarding the Plan to:

 

PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc.

EquiServe

150 Royall Street

Canton, MA 02021

Telephone: 800-213-3606

 

If your shares are not held in your name, you should contact your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee for more information.

 

How do I enroll in the Plan?

 

If you hold shares of the Fund in your own name, you are already enrolled in this Plan. Your reinvestments will begin with the first dividend after you purchase your shares. If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to see if it will participate in the Plan on your behalf. If your nominee is unable to participate in the Plan on your behalf, you may want to request that your shares be registered in your name so that you can participate in the Plan.

 

Once enrolled in the Plan, may I withdraw from it?

 

You may withdraw from the Plan without penalty at any time by providing written notice to EquiServe. Elections to withdraw from the Plan will be effective for distributions with a Record Date of at least ten days after such elections are received by the Plan Agent.

 

If you withdraw, you will receive, without charge, a share certificate issued in your name for all full shares accumulated in your account from dividend and capital gains distributions, plus a check for any fractional shares based on market price.

 

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, either the Fund or the Plan Agent may amend or terminate the Plan. Participants will receive written notice at least 30 days before the effective date of any amendment. In the case of termination, participants will receive written notice at least 30 days before the record date of any dividend or capital gains distribution by the Fund.
