This is a start-up REIT that acquired four mortgages from December, 2011 through March 2012, sponsored by an alternative investment manager with $46 billion in assets. It's not hard to acquire those kind of mortgages to put into a REIT, especially with assistance from IPO underwriters.

Manager, Joint Managers: Jefferies; Morgan Stanley; Citigroup.
Dull distributor to the energy market, cobbled together by private equity sponsored acquisitions. EDG plans on selling 62% of the company on the IPO - that's a bad sign. Profit margin for the March 2012 quarter is estimated to be .8%, very thin.
The organization structure is convoluted. IPOdesktop doesn't like complicated organizational structures. See the organization structurehere. S-1, page 12.
