(the Fund). Founded in 1971, PIMCO manages assets on behalf of mutual fund and institutional clients located around the world.

For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2004, the PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (the Fund) returned 1.62% based on its NYSE share price and 9.07% based on its net asset value. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which is the Funds benchmark and considered a representative of the entire bond market, returned 4.34% for the same period. During the year 2004, concern about rising interest rates led to a decrease in investor demand, which contributed to the decline in the Funds NYSE share price. Net assets in the Fund stood at $140.2 million on December 31, 2004, the Funds fiscal year end.
The Funds long-term performance continued to be strong, as the Fund posted annualized returns of 11.53% based on its NYSE share price and 9.82% based on its net asset value for the ten-year period ended December 31, 2004. The Fund outperformed the Lehman Index return of 7.72% for the ten-year period.
All major fixed income sectors posted gains in fourth quarter 2004, capping a year in which bonds showed late strength. The 4.34% gain of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the year came despite several major headwinds. These issues included the further expansion of U.S. fiscal deficits, a declining U.S. dollar, and market perceptions when the year began that interest rates were bound to rise from levels that were near historic lows at that time.
In addition to these headwinds, fixed income markets weathered the tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve that began in June 2004. The central bank raised the federal funds rate five times during the year for a total increase of 1.25%. The most recent move came on December 14, 2004 with an increase of 0.25%, leaving the federal funds rate at 2.25% at the end of the year. Despite this tightening cycle, bond investors were encouraged by statements from the Federal Reserve that it would continue to move at a measured pace. Investors also understood that the Federal Reserve was lifting rates from unusually low levels that had originally been set to prevent deflation.
Yields on longer maturity Treasuries decreased in 2004. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury ended the year at 4.22%, which was down 0.03% for the year. However, yields on shorter maturity securities rose by more than 1% as a result of the Federal Reserve rate increases. The relatively steep two- to ten-year portion of the yield curve flattened during the year. The difference between yields on securities maturing in two years versus ten years narrowed from 2.43% at the beginning of 2004 to 1.15% by the end of the year.
On the following pages you will find details as to the Funds portfolio and total return investment performance, including PIMCOs discussion of those main factors that affected performance during the one-year reporting 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 bond 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, small company risk, non-U.S. security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. 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. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio. The credit quality of the investments in the Funds portfolio does not apply to the stability of the Fund.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank 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.
Information about how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2004 is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at 866-746-2606, visiting our website at http://www.pcmfund.com, and visiting the SECs website at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of the written Proxy Policy and the factors that PIMCO may consider in determining how to vote proxies for the Fund is available by calling the Fund at 866-746-2606 and on the SECs website at http://www.sec.gov.
The Fund files complete schedules of its portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-Q for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year, which are available on the SECs website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the Funds Form N-Q is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at 866-746-2606 or visiting our website at http://www.pcmfund.com. In addition, the Funds Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SECs Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. Holdings are subject to change daily.
On May 12, 2004, the Fund submitted a CEO annual certification to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on which the Funds principal executive officer certified that he was not aware, as of that date, of any violation by the Fund of the NYSEs Corporate Governance listing standards. In addition, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, the Funds principal executive and principal financial officers have made quarterly certifications, included in filings with the SEC on Forms N-CSR and N-Q, relating to, among other things, the Funds disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, as applicable.
2 PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Annual Report | December 31, 2004
Important Information (continued)
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Funds Expense Example, which appears on the Funds individual page in this 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 mutual 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 July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004.
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 Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.
Expense ratio may vary period to period because of various factors such as increase in expenses not covered by the advisory and administrative fees [such as expenses of the trustees and their counsel or litigation expense].

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The line graph depicts the value of a net $10,000 investment made at the Funds inception on September 2, 1993 and held through December 31, 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 Funds 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 net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). |
| For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2004, the Fund returned 1.62% based on its NYSE market price and 9.07% based on its net asset value, versus the 4.34% return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. |
| For the 12-month reporting period, investment grade CMBS outperformed U.S. Treasuries, but slightly underperformed investment grade corporate bonds. |
| The Funds curve structure was negative for returns, as the yield curve flattened during 2004. |
| An emphasis on BBB-rated bonds was positive, as this sector of the market outperformed higher-rated issues. |
| Leverage in the Funds portfolio earned a positive spread, which benefited performance. |
| The Fund continued to benefit from its modest investments in the corporate bond sector. |
| A modest allocation to asset-backed securities was positive for returns. |

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 Funds 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. |

14 PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Annual Report | December 31, 2004 | See accompanying notes
December 31, 2004
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 (NAV) is determined on each business day. The NAVs are now available on the Funds website at http://www.pcmfund.com, by clicking on the Daily NAV link. Prior to June 18, 2004, net asset value per share was determined as of 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time, no less frequently than Thursday of each week (except where such Thursday was 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 delayed 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 Fund 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 Funds net assets on the date the commitment is executed. Accordingly, any fluctuation in the value of such assets is excluded from the Funds 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, which 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 Statement 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
December 31, 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. If the counterparty should default, the Fund will seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.
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.
16 PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Annual Report | December 31, 2004
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.
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 years Statements 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. There was no effect on the Funds net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period. Reclassification from net investment income to net realized gain/loss and net change in unrealized gain/loss in the Statement of Operations and Statements of Changes in Net Assets is as follows:

Guarantees and Indemnifications. Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trusts investment manager) is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise our of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts, and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Manager Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P., formerly 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.

December 31, 2004
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 Funds 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 the 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 Funds performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

7. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On June 1, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey announced that it had dismissed PIMCO from a complaint filed by the New Jersey Attorney General on February 17, 2004, and that it had entered into a settlement agreement (the New Jersey Settlement) with PIMCOs parent company, Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (AGI, formerly known as Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P.), PEA Capital LLC (an entity affiliated with PIMCO through common ownership) (PEA) and PAD, in connection with the same matter. In the New Jersey Settlement, AGI, PEA and PAD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or conclusions of law, but did agree to pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further potential enforcement initiatives against unrelated parties. They also undertook to implement certain governance changes. The complaint relating to the New Jersey Settlement alleged, among other things, that AGI, PEA and PAD had failed to disclose that they improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in market timing in certain funds. The complaint sought injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties, restitution and disgorgement of profits.
Since February 2004, PIMCO, AGI, PEA, PAD, and certain of their affiliates, PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (the PIMS Funds), PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (the MMS Funds), and the directors of the Fund (in their capacity as Trustees of the PIMS or MMS Funds), have been named as defendants in 14 lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, the Central District of California and the Districts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Ten of those lawsuits concern market timing, and they have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; four of those lawsuits concern revenue sharing and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of the various series of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds during specified periods, or as derivative actions on behalf of the PIMS and MMS Funds.
The market timing actions in the District of Maryland generally allege that certain hedge funds were allowed to engage in market timing in certain of the MMS and PIMS Funds and this alleged activity was not disclosed.
December 31, 2004 | PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Annual Report 19
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
December 31, 2004
Pursuant to tolling agreements entered into with the derivative and class action plaintiffs, PIMCO, the PIMS Funds trustees, and certain employees of PIMCO who were previously named as defendants have all been dropped as defendants in the market timing actions; the plaintiffs continue to assert claims on behalf of the shareholders of the PIMS Funds or on behalf of the PIMS Funds themselves against other defendants. The revenue sharing action in the District of Connecticut generally alleges that fund assets were inappropriately used to pay brokers to promote the MMS and PIMS Funds, including directing fund brokerage transactions to such brokers, and that such alleged arrangements were not fully disclosed to shareholders. The market timing and revenue sharing lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution.
Under Section 9(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), if the New Jersey Settlement or any of the lawsuits described above were to result in a court injunction against AGI, PEA, PAD and/or their affiliates, PIMCO could, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), be barred from serving as an investment adviser, and PAD could be barred from serving as principal underwriter, to any registered investment company, including the Fund. In connection with an inquiry from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a), PEA, PAD, AGI and certain of their affiliates (including PIMCO) (together, the Applicants) have sought exemptive relief from the SEC under Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act. The SEC has granted the Applicants a temporary exemption from the provisions of Section 9(a) with respect to the New Jersey Settlement until the earlier of (i) September 13, 2006 and (ii) the date on which the SEC takes final action on their application for a permanent order. There is no assurance that the SEC will issue a permanent order.
None of the aforementioned complaints alleges that any improper activity took place in the Fund. PIMCO believes that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on PIMCOs ability to perform its investment advisory services on behalf of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Directors and Shareholders of PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows, and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the Fund) at December 31, 2004, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and cash flows, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2004, December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2000 were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated February 12, 2001, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to collectively as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and counterparties, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

22 PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Annual Report | December 31, 2004
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 Agents 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.
December 31, 2004 | PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. Annual Report 23
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 Funds 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.

(e) | Pre-approval policies and procedures | |||||||||||
(1) | The registrants Audit Committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures (the Procedures) to govern the Audit Committees pre-approval of (i) all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the registrant by its independent registered public accounting firm, and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by such independent registered public accounting firm to the registrants investment adviser and to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (collectively, the Service Affiliates) if the services provided directly relate to the registrants operations and financial reporting. In accordance with the Procedures, the Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to certify the registrants financial statements for each fiscal year. With respect to the pre-approval of non-audit services provided to the registrant and its Service Affiliates, the Procedures provide that the Audit Committee may annually pre-approve a list of types or categories of non-audit services that may be provided to the registrant or its Service Affiliates, or the Audit Committee may pre-approve such services on a project-by-project basis as they arise. Unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. The Procedures also permit the Audit Committee to delegate authority to one or more of its members to pre-approve any proposed non-audit services that have not been previously pre-approved by the Committee, subject to the ratification by the full Audit Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting. | |||||||||||
(2) | With respect to the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4, no amount was approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. | |||||||||||

(h) | The registrants Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrants investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrants which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence. |

Item 7. |
Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies. |
(a) | PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (Proxy Policy) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the registrant as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the registrant. Recognizing that proxy voting is a rare event in the realm of fixed income investing and is typically limited to solicitation of consent to changes in features of debt securities, the Proxy Policy also applies to any voting rights and/or consent rights of PIMCO, on behalf of the registrant, with respect to debt securities, including but not limited to, plans of reorganization, and waivers and consents under applicable indentures. | |||||||||||||
The Proxy Policy is designed and implemented in a manner reasonably expected to ensure that voting and consent rights are exercised in the best interests of the registrant and its shareholders. Each proxy is voted on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration any relevant contractual obligations as well as other relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote. In general, PIMCO reviews and considers corporate governance issues related to proxy matters and generally supports proposals that foster good corporate governance practices. PIMCO may vote proxies as recommended by management on routine matters related to the operation of the issuer and on matters not expected to have a significant economic impact on the issuer and/or its shareholders. | ||||||||||||||
PIMCO will supervise and periodically review its proxy voting activities and implementation of the Proxy Policy. PIMCO will review each proxy to determine whether there may be a material conflict between PIMCO and the registrant. If no conflict exists, the proxy will be forwarded to the appropriate portfolio manager for consideration. If a conflict does exist, PIMCO will seek to resolve any such conflict in accordance with the Proxy Policy. PIMCO seeks to resolve any material conflicts of interest by voting in good faith in the best interest of the registrant. If a material conflict of interest should arise, PIMCO will seek to resolve such conflict in the registrants best interest by pursuing any one of the following courses of action: (i) convening a committee to assess and resolve the conflict; (ii) voting in accordance with the instructions of the Board; (iii) voting in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third-party service provider; (iv) suggesting to the Board that the registrant engage another party to determine how the proxy should be voted; (v) delegating the vote to a third-party service provider; or (vi) voting in accordance with the factors discussed in the Proxy Policy. |
