NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a real estate finance company that primarily originates, acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments secured by properties located within and outside the United States. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on November 15, 2012 and commenced operations on May 14, 2013.

The Company made a tax election to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company believes that it has qualified as a REIT and intends to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. In addition, the Company, through a subsidiary which is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a "TRS") is indirectly subject to U.S federal, state and local income taxes. The majority of the Company's business is conducted through Benefit Street Partners Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP.

The Company has no direct employees. Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. serves as the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") pursuant to an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated January 19, 2018 (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. which, together with its various subsidiaries, operates as Franklin Templeton. The Advisor, an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm. Established in 2008, the Advisor's credit platform manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private / opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the platform. The Advisor manages the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of the Company's assets and the operations of the Company.

The Company invests in commercial real estate debt investments, which may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. The Company also originates conduit loans which the Company intends to sell through its TRS into commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") at a profit. The Company also invests in commercial real estate securities. Real estate securities may include CMBS, senior unsecured debt of publicly traded REITs, debt or equity securities of other publicly traded real estate companies and collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"). The Company also owns real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure and deed in lieu of foreclosure, and purchased for investment, typically subject to triple net leases.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 11, 2021.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the entire year or any subsequent interim periods.

(Unaudited)

In response to the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, numerous countries, including the U.S., have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19 and certain jurisdictions, including those where our corporate headquarters and/or properties that secure our investments, or properties that the Company owns, are located, have at times imposed “stay-at-home” guidelines or orders or other restrictions to help prevent its spread. The effects of COVID-19 may negatively and materially impact significant estimates and assumptions used by the Company including, but not limited to estimates of expected credit losses, valuation of our equity investments and the fair value estimates of the Company's assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the OP.

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") issued and securitized by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has determined the CLOs are VIEs of which the Company's subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the CLOs are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.

Acquisition Expenses

The Company capitalizes certain direct costs relating to loan origination activities. The cost is amortized over the life of the loan and recognized in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition expenses paid on future funding amounts are expensed within the acquisition expenses line in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts deposited with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to an insurance limit. Cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash pledged as margin on repurchase agreements and derivative transactions. The duration of this restricted cash generally matches the duration of the related repurchase agreements or derivative transaction.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Held for Investment - Commercial mortgage loans that are held for investment purposes and are anticipated to be held until maturity, are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition expenses, discounts or premiums and unfunded commitments. Commercial mortgage loans, held for investment purposes, are carried at amortized cost less allowance for credit losses. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Guaranteed loan commitment fees payable by the borrower upon maturity are accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of guaranteed loan commitment fees is recognized in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Held for Sale - Commercial mortgage loans that are intended to be sold in the foreseeable future are reported as held for sale and are transferred at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value with changes recorded through the statements of operations. Unamortized loan origination costs for commercial mortgage loans held for sale that are carried at the lower of cost or fair value are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the loans and recognized upon the sale of such loans. Amortization of origination costs ceases upon transfer of commercial mortgage loans to held for sale.

Held for Sale, Accounted for Under the Fair Value Option - The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, and written loan commitments. The Company has elected to measure commercial mortgage loans held for sale in the Company's TRS under the fair value option. These commercial mortgage loans are included in the Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income received on commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value is recorded on the accrual basis of accounting and is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs to originate these investments are expensed when incurred.

Real estate owned

Real estate owned (“REO”) assets represent real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or purchase. REO assets are carried at their estimated fair value at acquisition and are presented net of accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired real estate assets based on the fair value of the acquired assets such as land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Asset acquisitions in which monetary consideration is given generally include the transaction costs of the asset acquisition. Acquiring assets in groups requires not only ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net asset) group but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of a group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition shall be allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and shall not give rise to goodwill.

Real estate owned assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and improvements and up to 15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the real estate owned assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Real estate owned revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The Company is considered to have satisfied all performance obligations at a point in time.

Real estate owned assets that are probable to be sold within one year are reported as held for sale. Real estate owned assets classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Real estate owned assets shall not be depreciated or amortized while it is classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale shall continue to be accrued. Upon the disposition of a real estate owned asset, the Company calculates realized gains and losses as net proceeds received less the carrying value of the real estate owned asset. Net proceeds received are net of direct selling costs associated with the disposition of the real estate owned asset.

Leases

Operating right of use assets "ROU" represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Leases will be classified as either a finance or operating lease, with such classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. For leases greater than 12 months, the Company determines, at the inception of the contract, if the arrangement meets the classification criteria for an operating or finance lease. For leases that have extension options, which can be exercised at the Company's discretion, management uses judgment to determine if it is reasonably certain that such extension options will be elected. If the extension options are reasonably certain to occur, the Company includes the extended term's lease payments in the calculation of the respective lease liability. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate used to discount the lease liability is determined at commencement of the lease, or upon modification of the lease, as the interest rate a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate considers information at both the corporate and property level and analysis of current market conditions for obtaining new financings. All leases as of June 30, 2021 were operating leases.

Separately, on October 15, 2019, the Company acquired certain real estate assets which had an existing in-place lease asset. This in-place lease asset is recorded as an Intangible lease asset on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized using the straight-line method over the contractual life of the lease.

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amends the credit impairment model for financial instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.

The allowance for credit losses required under ASU 2016-13 is deducted from the respective loans’ amortized cost basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses attributed to unfunded loan commitments is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The guidance also required a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption.

The following discussion highlights changes to the Company’s accounting policies as a result of this adoption.

Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses for the Company’s financial instruments carried at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loans held for investment and unfunded loan commitments represents a lifetime estimate of expected credit losses. Factors considered by the Company when determining the allowance for credit losses reserve include loan-specific characteristics such as loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio, vintage year, loan term, property type, occupancy and geographic location, financial performance of the borrower, expected payments of principal and interest, as well as internal or external information relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist for multiple financial instruments. If similar risk characteristics do not exist, the Company measures the allowance for credit losses on an individual instrument basis. The determination of whether a particular financial instrument should be included in a pool can change over time. If a financial asset’s risk characteristics change, the Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to continue to keep the financial instrument in its existing pool or evaluate it individually.

In measuring the allowance for credit losses for financial instruments including our unfunded loan commitments that share similar risk characteristics, the Company primarily applies a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model for instruments that are collectively assessed, whereby the allowance for credit losses is calculated as the product of PD, LGD and exposure at default (“EAD”). The Company’s model principally utilizes historical loss rates derived from a commercial mortgage backed securities database with historical losses from 1998 to 2020 provided by a reputable third party, forecasting the loss parameters using a scenario-based statistical approach over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of twelve months, followed by an immediate reversion to average historical losses. For financial instruments assessed on an individual basis, including when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the full payment of principal and interest on the instrument, the Company applies a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology.

For financial instruments where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company’s assessment at the reporting date and the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the Company may elect to use as a practical expedient the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date when determining the allowance for credit losses.

In developing the allowance for credit losses for its loans held for investment, the Company performs a comprehensive analysis of its loan portfolio and assigns risk ratings to loans that incorporate management's current judgments about their credit quality based on all known and relevant internal and external factors that may affect collectability, using similar factors as those in developing the allowance for credit losses. This methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. Risk rating categories range from "1" to "5" with "1" representing the lowest risk of loss and "5" representing the highest risk of loss with the ratings updated quarterly. At the time of origination or purchase, loans held for investment are ranked as a “2” and will move accordingly going forward based on the ratings which are defined as follows:

1.Very Low Risk- Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable.

2.Low Risk- Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable.

3.Average Risk- Performing investments requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.

4.High Risk/Delinquent/Potential for Loss- Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.

5.Impaired/Defaulted/Loss Likely- Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

(Unaudited)

The Company also considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to, economic and business conditions, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, lending terms, volume and severity of past due loans, concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations in its determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the Company’s financial instruments are recorded in Provision/(benefit) for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding offset to the financial instrument’s amortized cost recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, or as a component of Accounts payable and accrued expenses for unfunded loan commitments.

The Company has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable as it is timely, following three months time, reversed against interest income when a loan, real estate security or preferred equity investment is placed on nonaccrual status. The Company did not record reversals of accrued interest receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Loans are charged off against the Provision/(benefit) for credit losses when all or a portion of the principal amount is determined to be uncollectible.

Past due and nonaccrual status

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered non-performing when full payment of principal and interest is unpaid for 90 days or more or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Interest received on nonaccrual status loans are accounted for under the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Upon restructuring the nonaccrual loan, the Company may return a loan to accrual status when repayment of principal and interest is reasonably assured.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”)

The Company classifies an individual financial instrument as a TDR when it has a reasonable expectation that the financial instrument’s contractual terms will be modified in a manner that grants concession to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions could include term extensions, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, forbearance, or other actions designed to maximize the Company’s collection on the financial instrument. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses for financial instruments that are TDRs individually.

Real Estate Securities

On the acquisition date, all of the Company’s commercial real estate securities were classified as available for sale and carried at fair value, and subsequently any unrealized gains or losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The Company may elect the fair value option for its real estate securities, and as a result, any unrealized gains or losses on such real estate securities will be recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. No such election has been made to date. Related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the specific identification method in determining the cost relief for real estate securities sold. Realized gains and losses from the sale of real estate securities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

AFS real estate securities which have experienced a decline in the fair value below their amortized cost basis (i.e., impairment) are evaluated each reporting period to determine whether the decline in fair value is due to credit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit-related is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, while credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment on the consolidated statements of operations. If the Company intends to sell an impaired real estate security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis.

The Company analyzes the AFS security portfolio on a periodic basis for credit losses at the individual security level using the same criteria described above for those amortized cost financial assets subject to an allowance for credit losses including but not limited to; performance of the underlying assets in the security, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, credit ratings, project economics and geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors.

The non-credit loss component of the unrealized loss within the Company’s AFS portfolio is recognized as an adjustment to the individual security’s asset balance with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

Repurchase Agreements

Commercial mortgage loans and real estate securities sold under repurchase agreements have been treated as collateralized financing transactions because the Company maintains effective control over the transferred securities. Commercial mortgage loans and real estate securities financed through a repurchase agreement remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset and cash received from the purchaser is recorded as a liability. Interest paid in accordance with repurchase agreements is recorded in interest expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Financing Costs

The deferred financing costs related to the Company's various Master Repurchase Agreements as well as certain prepaid subscription costs are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing cost on the Company's collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") are netted against the Company's CLO payable in the Collateralized loan obligations on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreement using the effective interest method and included in interest expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company has a Share Repurchase Program (the "SRP") that enables stockholders to sell their shares to the Company, subject to certain conditions. Refer to Note 9 - Stock Transactions for a description of the SRP. When a stockholder requests a redemption and the redemption is approved by the board of directors, the Company will reclassify such obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. Shares repurchased under the SRP will have the status of authorized but unissued shares.

Offering and Related Costs

Since 2018, the Company has from time to time offered, and may in the future offer, shares of the Company’s common stock or one or more series of its preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), including its Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock,”) and Series D convertible preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock,” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) in private placements exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with these offerings, the Company incurs various offering costs. These offering costs include but are not limited to legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, and diligence expenses of broker-dealers. Offering costs for the common stock are recorded in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, while the offering costs for the Preferred Stock are included within Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") stockholders may elect to reinvest distributions by purchasing shares of common stock in lieu of receiving cash. No dealer manager fees or selling commissions are paid with respect to shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP. The purchase price for shares purchased through the DRIP is the lesser of (i) the Company’s most recent estimated per share net asset value ("NAV"), and (ii) the Company’s most recently disclosed GAAP book value per share. There is no market for our common stock. The board of directors may designate that certain cash or other distributions be excluded from the DRIP. The Company has the right to amend any aspect of the DRIP or terminate the DRIP with ten days’ notice to participants. Shares issued under the DRIP are recorded to equity in the consolidated balance sheets in the period distributions are declared.

Income Taxes

The Company has conducted its operations to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, if the Company meets certain organizational and operational requirements and distributes at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders in a year, it will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of the income that it distributes. However, even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on income in addition to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company, through its TRS, is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. The Company’s TRS is not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but is instead taxed as a C corporation. For financial reporting purposes, the TRS is consolidated and a provision for current and deferred taxes is established for the portion of earnings recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in its TRS. Total income tax provision/(benefit) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was $0.3 million and

$(0.7) million, respectively. Total income tax provision/(benefit) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was $2.3 million and $(2.6) million, respectively.

The Company uses a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or to be taken in a tax return. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open tax years beginning with December 31, 2017 and concluded that there were no uncertainties to be recognized. The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties is to classify these amounts as provision for income taxes.

The Company utilizes the TRS to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax and to avoid penalty for the holding of assets not qualifying as real estate assets for purposes of the REIT asset tests. Any income associated with a TRS is fully taxable because the TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes as a domestic C corporation based upon its net income.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and may undertake a strategy to limit these risks through the use of derivatives. The Company uses derivatives primarily to economically hedge against interest rates, CMBS spreads and macro market risk in order to minimize volatility. The Company may use a variety of derivative instruments that are considered conventional, including but not limited to: Treasury note futures and credit derivatives on various indices including CMBX and CDX.

The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company does not designate derivatives as hedges to qualify for hedge accounting for financial reporting purposes and therefore any net payments under, or fluctuations in the fair value of these derivatives have been recognized currently in unrealized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company records derivative asset and liability positions on a gross basis with any collateral posted with or received from counterparties recorded separately within Restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Certain derivatives that the Company has entered into are subject to master netting agreements with its counterparties, allowing for netting of the same transaction, in the same currency, on the same date.

Per Share Data

The Company’s Preferred Stock is considered a participating security and the Company calculates basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The Company’s dilutive earnings per share calculation is computed using the more dilutive result of the treasury stock method, assuming the participating security is a potential common share, or the two-class method, assuming the participating security is not converted. The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income applicable to common stock for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares outstanding if potential shares of common stock with a dilutive effect have been issued in connection with the restricted stock plan or upon conversion of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive.

Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has four reportable segments based on how the chief operating decision maker reviews and manages the business. The four reporting segments are as follows:

•The real estate debt business which is focused on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgages, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans.

•The real estate securities business which is focused on investing in and asset managing commercial real estate securities primarily consisting of CMBS and may include unsecured REIT debt, CDO notes and other securities.

•The commercial conduit business in the Company's TRS, which is focused on originating and subsequently selling fixed-rate commercial real estate loans into the CMBS securitization market.

•The real estate owned business represents real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or purchase.

See Note 15 - Segment Reporting for further information regarding the Company's segments.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Subject to certain conditions, the outstanding Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock, outside of the control of the Company.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and on parity with all other outstanding classes of preferred stock of the Company (including the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock) with respect to priority in dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. The liquidation preference of each share of Series A Preferred Stock is the greater of (i) $5,000 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and (ii) the amount that would be received upon a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

Dividends are on the Series A Preferred Stock, which are typically declared and paid quarterly, accrue at a rate equal to the greater of (i) an annual amount equal to 4.0% of the liquidation preference per share (subject to a 1.0% increase in the event of the ratings for the Series A Preferred Stock decreases below a certain threshold) and (ii) the dividends that would have been paid had such share of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into a share of Common Stock on the first day of such quarter, subject to proration in the event the share of Series A Preferred Stock is not outstanding for the full quarter. Dividends are paid in arrears. Dividends will accumulate and be cumulative from the most recent date to which dividends had been paid.

Immediately prior to a “Liquidity Event,” each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into 299.2 shares of Common Stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments described in the Articles Supplementary (the “Conversion Rate”). A “Liquidity Event” is defined as (i) the listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or quotation on an electronic inter-dealer quotation system; (ii) a merger or business combination involving the Company pursuant to which outstanding shares Common Stock are exchanged for securities of another company which are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an electronic inter-dealer quotation system; or (iii) any other transaction or series of transaction that results in all shares of Common Stock being transferred or exchange for cash or securities which are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an electronic inter-dealer quotation system.

If there has not been a Liquidity Event by June 25, 2024 (six years from the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem its Series A Preferred Stock for cash at the liquidation preference, or such holder may convert all, but not less than all, of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into Common Stock at the Conversion Rate.

In the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company (by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise) or the acquisition by any person of more than 50% of the total economic interests or voting power of all securities of the Company (a “Company Change of Control”), other than a Liquidity Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right, prior to consummation of such transaction, to convert its Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Rate. In addition, in the event of a change of control of the Advisor (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) or a Company Change of Control that is not a Liquidity Event and that is related to the removal of the Advisor, both the Company and the holder shall have the right, prior to consummation of the transaction, to require the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock for the liquidation preference.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (voting as a single class with holders of Common Stock and other classes of voting Preferred Stock) are entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company upon which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. The number of votes applicable to a share of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock a share of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted into as of the record date set for purposes of such stockholder vote (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock). In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is required to approve the issuance of any equity securities senior to the Series A Preferred Stock and to take certain actions materially adverse to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Series C Preferred Stock

The Series C Preferred Stock is on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to preference on liquidation and dividend rights. Except as set forth below, the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock are substantially the same as the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock:

•The Series C Preferred Stock is not rated and its dividend rate is not impacted by changes in ratings.

•The are no anti-dilution adjustments to the Conversion Price based on share issuances at below GAAP book value.

•The Series C Preferred Stock will not immediately convert upon a Liquidation Event; the mandatory conversion will occur on the one-year anniversary of the Liquidity Event. The Company has the option to accelerate the mandatory conversion date to a date no earlier than six months after the Liquidity Event upon 10 days’ notice to the holders.

•A Company Change of Control that is also a Liquidity Event will trigger the Change of Control redemption right.

•The optional conversion and redemption provisions are effective on and after on October 18, 2025 (rather than June 25, 2024).

•With respect to voting rights on issuance of any equity securities senior to the Series C Preferred Stock and certain other actions materially adverse to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock holders will vote as a single class with other parity Preferred Stock (except the Series A Preferred Stock).

Series D Preferred Stock

The Series D Preferred Stock is on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock with respect to preference on liquidation and dividend rights. The terms of the Series D Preferred Stock are substantially the same as the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, except that the Series D Preferred Stock will not immediately convert upon a Liquidation Event; the mandatory conversion will occur on the one-year anniversary of the Liquidity Event. The holders have the option to accelerate the mandatory conversion date to a date no earlier than six months after the Liquidity Event.

The complete terms of the Company’s Preferred Stock are set forth in the Articles Supplementary applicable to each class, which have been filed as exhibits to the Company’s periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through June 30, 2021, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve.

________________________

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no interest income recognized on this loan.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had one loan with a total cost basis of $57.1 million and two loans with a total cost basis of $94.9 million, respectively, on non-accrual status for which there was no related allowance for credit losses.

Credit Characteristics

As part of the Company's process for monitoring the credit quality of its commercial mortgage loans, excluding those held for sale, measured at fair value, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its loans. The loans are scored on a scale of 1 to 5 as follows:


Investment Rating						Summary Description
1						Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable.
2						Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable.
3						Performing investments requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.
4						Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.
5						Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

All commercial mortgage loans, excluding loans classified as commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value within the consolidated balance sheets, are assigned an initial risk rating of 2.0. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the weighted average risk rating of the loans was 2.2.

The following table represents the allocation by risk rating for the Company's commercial mortgage loans, held for investment (dollars in thousands):

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, the activity in the Company's commercial mortgage loans, held for investment portfolio was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Balance at End of Period	$	3,109,111	$	2,693,848

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company wrote off a commercial mortgage loan, held for investment, with a carrying value of $37.8 million in exchange for the possession of a REO investment at a fair value of $37.5 million, comprised of $33.0 million of real property (land, building and improvements) and $4.5 million of personal property (furniture, fixture, and equipment) at the time of transfer. The transfer occurred when the Company took possession of the property by completing a foreclosure transaction in January 2021, resulting in a $0.3 million impairment loss at the time of transfer. Since the foreclosure was entered into due to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty and the recorded investment in the receivable was more than the fair value of the collateral collected, the transaction qualifies as a TDR. The Company accounted for the REO acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as an asset acquisition. The Company subsequently sold this REO asset during the six months ended June 30, 2021 for a $0.8 million gain, presented net of direct selling costs associated with the disposition of the asset, included within Realized gain/loss on sale of real estate owned assets, held for sale in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Note 4 - Real Estate Securities

As of June 30, 2021 the Company did not hold any real estate securities, CMBS. The following is a summary of the Company's real estate securities, CMBS, as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

The following table shows the amortized cost, allowance for expected credit losses, unrealized gain/(loss) and fair value of the Company's CMBS investments by investment type as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Total	$	179,392	$	—	$	—	$	(8,256)	$	171,136

As of December 31, 2020, the Company held 9 CMBS positions with an amortized cost basis of $179.4 million and an unrealized loss of $8.3 million, of which 7 positions had an unrealized loss for a period greater than twelve months. As of June 30, 2021 the Company did not hold any real estate securities, CMBS.

The following table provides information on the unrealized losses and fair value on the Company's real estate securities, CMBS, available for sale that were in an unrealized loss position, and for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, in each case as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):


	Fair Value				Unrealized Loss
	Securities with an unrealized loss less than 12 months		Securities with an unrealized loss greater than 12 months		Securities with an unrealized loss less than 12 months		Securities with an unrealized loss greater than 12 months

As of June 30, 2021 the Company did not hold any real estate securities, CMBS. As of December 31, 2020, there were 7 securities with unrealized losses for a period greater than twelve months reflected in the table above. After evaluating the securities, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses reflected above were noncredit-related and would be recovered from the securities’ estimated future cash flows. The Company considered a number of factors in reaching this conclusion, including that the Company did not intend to sell the securities, it was not considered more likely than not that we would be forced to sell the securities prior to recovering our amortized cost, the portfolio is made up of investment grade securities of recent originations and higher tranches, and that there were no material credit events that would have caused us to otherwise conclude that the Company would not recover our cost. The allowance for credit losses is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and is measured as the difference between the original cash flows expected to be collected to the revised cash flows expected to be collected discounted using the effective interest rate, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Significant judgment is used in projecting cash flows. As a result, actual income and/or credit losses could be materially different from what is currently projected and/or reported.

The following table provides information on the amounts of gain/(loss) on the Company's real estate securities, CMBS, available for sale (dollars in thousands):

Note 8 - Earnings Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. Net income/(loss) is allocated between our common stock and other participating securities based on their participation rights. Diluted net income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and other dilutive securities. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations and the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Distributions

In order to maintain its election to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, without regard to the deduction for distributions paid and excluding net capital gains. The Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to avoid paying corporate U.S. federal income taxes. Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The Company's board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time, and therefore, distributions payments are not assured.

In April 2020, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved a transition in the timing of the dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock from a monthly payment with daily accruals to a quarterly payment and accrual basis. The first quarterly dividend was the second quarter 2020 dividend payable in July 2020. Similarly, the Company began paying accrued and unpaid dividends on Preferred Stock on a quarterly basis.

The monthly distributions for the first quarter of 2020 were paid at a daily rate equivalent to $1.44 per annum, per share of common stock. Starting with the second quarter 2020 distribution, the 2020 quarterly distributions were paid at a quarterly rate of $0.275 per share of common stock (equivalent to $1.10 per annum). Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time, and therefore, distribution payments are not assured. Dividends on the Company’s Preferred Stock, to the extent not declared by the board of directors quarterly, will accrue, and dividends may not be paid on the Company's common stock to the extent there are accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock. The amount of dividends paid on the Company’s Preferred Stock are generally in an amount equal to the dividends a holder of Preferred Stock would have received if the Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock in accordance with its terms, except when the amount of common stock dividends are below the threshold stated in the terms of such Preferred Stock.

The Company distributed $24.4 million of common stock dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2021, comprised of $19.3 million in cash and $5.1 million in shares of common stock issued under the DRIP. On June 28, 2021, the Company temporarily suspended the DRIP and as a result, DRIP participants, along with all other holders of the Company’s equity securities, received their second quarter 2021 Company dividends (paid in July) in cash. The DRIP was also temporarily suspended for the March 2020 dividend due to COVID-19 related valuation volatility, but was reactivated for the second quarter 2020 dividend. The Company distributed $21.2 million of common stock dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2020, comprised of $17.7 million in cash and $3.5 million in shares of common stock issued under the DRIP.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock distributions of $12.2 million and $12.2 million, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had declared but unpaid Series A Preferred Stock distributions of $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively and $0.1 million and $0.1 million of Series C Preferred stock, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021 the Company had declared but unpaid common stock distributions of $1.7 million of Series D Preferred Stock. These amounts are included in Distributions payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's board of directors unanimously approved an amended and restated share repurchase program (the “SRP”), which became effective on February 28, 2016. The SRP enables stockholders to sell their shares to the Company. Subject to certain conditions, stockholders that purchased shares of the Company's common stock or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions and have held their shares for a period of at least one year may request that the Company repurchase their shares of common stock so long as the repurchase otherwise complies with the provisions of Maryland law. Repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder will not be subject to any minimum holding period.

The repurchase price per share for SRP repurchases is equal to the lesser of (i) the Company’s most recent estimated per-share NAV, as approved by the Company’s board of directors from time to time, and (ii) the Company’s book value per share, computed in accordance with GAAP, multiplied by a percentage equal to (i) 92.5%, if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than one year and less than two years; (ii) 95%, if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than two years and less than three years; (iii) 97.5%, if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than three years and less than four years; or (iv) 100%, if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than four years or in the case of requests for death or disability. The Company’s estimated per-share NAV as of June 30, 2021, as determined by the board of directors, is $17.88. The Company’s GAAP book value per share as of June 30, 2021 is $18.77.

Repurchase requests related to death or a qualifying disability must satisfy certain conditions, each of which are assessed by and at the sole discretion of the Company, including the following conditions. In the case of death, the shareholder must be a natural person (or a revocable grantor trust) and the Company must receive a written notice from the estate of the shareholder, the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, or the trustee in the case of a revocable grantor trust. In the case of a “qualifying disability”, the shareholder must be a natural person (or a revocable grantor trust) and the Company must receive a written notice from the shareholder, or the trustee in the case of a revocable grantor trust, that the condition was not pre-existing on the date the shares were acquired. In order for a disability to be considered a “qualifying disability”, the shareholder must receive and provide evidence (the shareholder application and the notice of final determination) of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment made by a government agency responsible for reviewing and determining disability retirement benefits (e.g. the Social Security Administration).

Repurchases pursuant to the SRP, when requested, generally will be made semiannually (each six-month period ending June 30 or December 31, a “fiscal semester”). Repurchases for any fiscal semester will be limited to a maximum of 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year, with a maximum for any fiscal year of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year. Funding for repurchases pursuant to the SRP for any given fiscal semester will be limited to proceeds received during that same fiscal semester through the issuance of common stock pursuant to any DRIP in effect from time to time, provided that the Company's board of directors has the power, in its sole discretion, to determine the amount of shares repurchased during any fiscal semester as well as the amount of funds to be used for that purpose. Any repurchase requests received during such fiscal semester will be paid at the price, computed as described above on the last day of such fiscal semester. Due to these limitations, the Company cannot guarantee that the Company will be able to accommodate all repurchase requests made during any fiscal semester or fiscal year. However, a stockholder may withdraw its request at any time or ask that the Company honors the request when funds are available. Pending repurchase requests will be honored on a pro rata basis. The Company will generally pay repurchase proceeds, less any applicable tax or other withholding required by law, by the 31st day following the end of the fiscal semester during which the repurchase request was made.

Note 12 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair values. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Table of Contents

BENEFIT STREET PARTNERS REALTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

•Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•Level II - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

•Level III - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.

The Company has implemented valuation control processes to validate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and the assumptions are reasonable.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

CMBS, recorded in real estate securities, available for sale, measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, and recent trades of similar real estate securities. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company obtains third party pricing for determining the fair value of each CMBS investments, resulting in a Level II classification.

Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value in the Company's TRS are initially recorded at transaction proceeds, which are considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value. The Company engaged the services of a third party independent valuation firm to determine fair value of certain investments held by the Company. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model that primarily considers changes in interest rates and credit spreads, weighted average life and current performance of the underlying collateral. Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value that are originated in the last month of the reporting period are held and marked to the transaction proceeds. The Company classified the commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value as Level III.

Other real estate investments, measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are valued using unobservable inputs. The Company engaged the services of a third party independent valuation firm to determine fair value of certain investments, including preferred equity investments, held by the Company. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model that primarily considers changes in interest rates and credit spreads, weighted average life and current performance of the underlying collateral. The Company classified the other real estate investments, measured at fair value as Level III.

The fair value for Treasury note futures is derived using market prices. Treasury note futures trade on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”). The instruments are a variety of recently issued 10-year U.S. Treasury notes. The future contracts are liquid and are centrally cleared through the CME. Treasury note futures are generally categorized in Level I of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value for credit default swaps and interest rate swaps contracts are derived using pricing models that are widely accepted by marketplace participants. Credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are traded in the OTC market. The pricing models take into account multiple inputs including specific contract terms, interest rate yield curves, interest rates, credit curves, recovery rates, and/or current credit spreads obtained from swap counterparties and other market participants. Most inputs into the models are not subjective as they are observable in the marketplace or set per the contract. Valuation is primarily determined by the difference between the contract spread and the current market spread. The contract spread (or rate) is generally fixed and the market spread is determined by the credit risk of the underlying debt or reference entity. If the underlying indices are liquid and the OTC market for the current spread is active, credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. If the underlying indices are illiquid and the OTC market for the current spread is not active, credit default swaps are categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are generally categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets or liabilities. The Company's policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no material transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy for the period ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The following table presents the Company's financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets by its level in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level III category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level III category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. The following table summarizes the valuation method and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s financial instruments that are categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):


Asset Category	Fair Value		Valuation Methodologies	Unobservable Inputs (1)	Weighted Average (2)	Range
June 30, 2021
Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value	$	77,031	Discounted Cash Flow	Yield	4.0%	3.2% - 17.6%
Other real estate investments, measured at fair value	2,547		Discounted Cash Flow	Yield	12.8%	11.7% - 13.7%

December 31, 2020
Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value	$	67,649	Discounted Cash Flow	Yield	16.6%	15.6% - 17.6%
Other real estate investments, measured at fair value	2,522		Discounted Cash Flow	Yield	13.2%	12.2% - 14.2%

________________________

(1) In determining certain inputs, the Company evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. The Company has determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments.

(2) Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.

Increases or decreases in any of the above unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement for such assets.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured using observable quoted market prices, or Level I inputs and their carrying value approximates their fair value. The fair value of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature, and are measured using Level II inputs.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The fair values of the Company's commercial mortgage loans, held for investment and collateralized loan obligations, which are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported below as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):


		Level	Carrying Amount (1)		Fair Value
June 30, 2021
Commercial mortgage loans, held for investment (1)	Asset	III	$	3,126,303	$	3,150,424

(1) The carrying value is gross of $17.2 million and $20.9 million of allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The fair value of the commercial mortgage loans, held for investment is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Advisor's experience with similar types of investments. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateralized loan obligations using external broker quotes. The fair value of the other financing and loan participation-commercial mortgage loans is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. At June 30, 2021, the Mortgage note payable was initially recorded at transaction proceeds, which are considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Pending Merger with Capstead Mortgage Corporation

As disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 26, 2021, the Company, Rodeo Sub I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Capstead Mortgage Corporation (“Capstead”) and the Advisor entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on July 25, 2021. Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Capstead will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub remaining as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (such transaction, the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Capstead will be converted into the right to receive:

•from the Company, (A) a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth) determined by dividing (i) Capstead’s adjusted book value per share by (ii) the Company’s adjusted book value per share (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”), and (B) a cash amount equal to the product of (rounding to the nearest cent) (x) Capstead’s adjusted book value per share multiplied by 15.75%, multiplied by (y) 22.5%, without any interest thereon (the “Per Share Cash Consideration” and together with the Per Share Stock Consideration, the “Per Common Share BSPRT Consideration”); and

•from the Advisor, a cash amount equal to the product of (rounding to the nearest cent) (A) Capstead’s adjusted book value per share multiplied by 15.75%, multiplied by (B) 77.5%, without any interest thereon (the “Advisor Cash Consideration” and together with the Per Common Share BSPRT Consideration, the “Total Per Common Share Consideration”).

Capstead’s outstanding equity awards under its equity compensation plans will also be converted into the right to receive the Total Per Common Share Consideration. In addition, each outstanding share of Capstead’s 7.50% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.10 par value per share, will be converted into the right to receive one newly-issued 7.50% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “BSPRT Series E Preferred Stock”) (the “Preferred Merger Consideration” and, together with the Per Common Share BSPRT Consideration, the “Total BSPRT Merger Consideration”). Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of the Company’s common stock that would otherwise have been received as a result of the Merger. Adjusted book value per share equals the respective company’s total consolidated common stockholders’ equity, less, in the case of the Company, the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration, divided by each respective company’s common stock issued and outstanding (excluding, in the case of Capstead, any cancelled shares), plus, in the case of Capstead, any shares of its common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding performance units, after giving pro forma effect to any additional dividends or other distributions on shares of the respective company’s common stock that are declared or are anticipated to be declared for which the record date is or will be prior to the Effective Time.

Under the Merger Agreement, each of Capstead and the Company will pay a special dividend to their respective stockholders in cash on the last business day prior to the closing of the Merger, with a record date that is three business days before the payment date.

The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by Capstead’s stockholders and the registration and listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of the Company’s common stock and BSPRT Series E Preferred Stock that will be issued in connection with the Merger.

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement has made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, among other things the Merger Agreement provides that each of Capstead and the Company will, until the Effective Time, operate their respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course and consistent with practice, and preserve substantially intact its current business organization and preserve key business relationships. Each of Capstead and the Company are subject to restrictions as specified in the Merger Agreement on certain actions each company may take prior to the Effective Time, including, among other things, actions related to amending organizational documents, declaring dividends, issuing or repurchasing capital stock, engaging in certain business transactions and incurring indebtedness.

Recapitalization

In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to take necessary corporate actions such that, prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company will effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock as of a date to be specified will automatically combine into 1/10th of a share the Company’s Common Stock, which will be renamed “Class A common stock” (the “Class A Common Stock”).

Following the Reverse Stock Split, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company has also agreed to effect a stock dividend on the Class A Common Stock (the “Stock Dividend”, and together with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Recapitalization”) wherein the Company will distribute nine shares of a newly designated series of Class B common stock of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”) to each holder of Class A Common Stock as of the record date to be specified by the Company’s board of directors. The Class B Common Stock will be identical to the Class A Common Stock except that the Class B Common Stock will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Class A Common Stock 180 days following the listing of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE. The Class B Common Stock will not be listed on the NYSE, and therefore holders of Class B Common Stock will not be able to sell their shares of Class B Common Stock on the NYSE until the automatic conversion of such Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock 180 days after the listing of the Class A Common Stock.

The Recapitalization will result in each stockholder of the Company’s common stock as of a date to be specified prior to the closing of the Merger having the same economic value of equity securities in the Company as such holder did prior to the Recapitalization, except that each such holder will have 10% of their holdings in Class A Common Stock and 90% of their holdings in Class B Common Stock.

Table of Contents

Overview

We were incorporated in Maryland on November 15, 2012 and have conducted our operations to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company, through a subsidiary which is treated as a TRS, is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. We commenced business in May 2013. We primarily originate, acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments secured by properties located within and outside of the United States. Commercial real estate debt investments may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP, a Delaware limited partnership. We are the sole general partner and directly or indirectly hold all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP.

The Company has no direct employees. We are managed by our Advisor pursuant to an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated January 19, 2018 (the "Advisory Agreement"). Our Advisor manages our affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of our assets and our operations.

The Advisor, an SEC-registered investment adviser, is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm. The Advisor manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private / opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the Advisor’s robust platform. On February 1, 2019, Franklin Resources, Inc. and Templeton International, Inc. (collectively, “Franklin Templeton”) acquired the Advisor (the “Transaction”). The Transaction did not impact the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Transaction did not result in any changes to the executive officers of the Company.

The Company also invests in commercial real estate securities. Real estate securities may include CMBS, senior unsecured debt of publicly traded REITs, debt or equity securities of other publicly traded real estate companies and CDOs.

Merger with Capstead Mortgage Corporation

On July 26, 2021, we announced that we had entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Capstead Mortgage Corporation (“Capstead”), a Maryland corporation that primarily invests in residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities, referred to as ARM securities, issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises. Upon closing of the merger, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions and is subject to the approval of Capstead stockholders, our Class A common stock will be listed on the NYSE.

For more detail about the merger, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 26, 2021 and Note 16 - Subsequent Events to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Estimated Per Share NAV

On November 2, 2020, our board of directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the board, unanimously approved and established the estimated net asset value ("NAV") per share of the Company’s common stock proposed by the Advisor of $17.88. The estimated per share NAV was based upon the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the Company’s liabilities as of September 30, 2020 (the “Valuation Date”). The valuation was performed in accordance with the provisions of Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, issued by the Investment Program Association in April 2013, including the use of independent third-party valuation firms to estimate the fair value of our loan portfolio, securities portfolio and real estate owned portfolio.

These valuation firms estimated the value of our loan portfolio using customary valuation methods, including a discounted cash flow analysis with respect to our loan portfolio, available market pricing information with respect to our securities portfolio, and real estate appraisals with respect to our real estate owned portfolio. Based on these methodologies these firms determined a range of estimated valuations. To estimate the Company’s NAV, the Advisor added the amounts of cash and other tangible assets reflected on our balance sheet (as computed in accordance with GAAP) and subtracted our liabilities as reflected on our balance sheet (computed in accordance with GAAP). Based on this the Advisor estimated that the Company’s NAV as of September 30, 2020 is $17.88 which is the midpoint of the valuation range of $17.14 to $18.62.

The Advisor recommended our board of directors approve the estimated per share NAV of $17.88. As with any methodology used to estimate value, the methodologies employed to estimate the NAV were based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. If different judgments, assumptions or opinions were used, a different estimate would likely result.

Table of Contents

We believe that the method used to determine the estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock is the methodology most commonly used by public, non-listed REITs to estimate per share NAV. The estimated per share NAV does not represent the per share amount a third party would pay to acquire us, or the price at which our common stock would trade in the event we were listed on a national securities exchange. For example, the estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock does not reflect a liquidity discount for the fact that the shares are not currently traded on a national securities exchange and other costs that may be incurred in connection with a liquidity event. Our estimated per share NAV does not reflect the conversion of any of our Series A convertible preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), Series C convertible preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) or Series D convertible preferred stock (“Series D Preferred Stock” and with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”).

The estimated per share NAV was determined at a moment in time and as of the Valuation Date and the values of our assets and liabilities have changed since then as a result of changes relating to the individual loans in our portfolio as well as changes and developments in the real estate and capital markets generally, including changes in interest rates. Therefore, stockholders should not rely on the estimated per share NAV in making a decision to buy or sell shares of our common stock.

________________________

(1) Our floating rate loan agreements contain the contractual obligation for the borrower to maintain an interest rate cap to protect against rising interest rates. In a simple interest rate cap, the borrower pays a premium for a notional principal amount based on a capped interest rate (the “cap rate”). When the floating rate exceeds the cap rate, the borrower receives a payment from the cap counterparty equal to the difference between the floating rate and the cap rate on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. When interest rates rise, the value of an interest rate cap will increase, thereby reducing the borrower's exposure to rising interest rates.

(2) Loan to value percentage is from metrics at origination.

Realized Gain/Loss on Commercial Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Realized gain on commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value at the TRS for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.5 million compared to a realized loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $6.7 million increase in realized gain was due to the fact that there had been one sale of fixed-rate commercial real estate loans into the CMBS securitization market during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to no such sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Proceeds from sale were $108.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Realized Gain/Loss on Real Estate Securities Available for Sale

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 our real estate securities, available for sale, measured at fair value had a realized loss of $0.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively, included within the consolidated statements of operations. The losses are attributable to one CMBS sale during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and six sales of CMBS securities during the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Unrealized Gain/Loss on Real Estate Securities Available for Sale

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 our real estate securities, available for sale, measured at fair value had an unrealized gain of $0.2 million included within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The increase in fair value of real estate securities for the three months ended June 30, 2021 can be attributed to the reversal of the unrealized losses on the one CMBS sale that occurred in the quarter.

Expenses from operations

Expenses from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Asset management and subordinated performance fee	$	6,001	$	3,738
Administrative services expenses	3,078		2,940

Depreciation and amortization	406		586
Other expenses	911		1,055
Total expenses from operations	$	13,342	$	12,812

The increase in our expenses from operations was primarily related to asset management and subordinated performance fee during the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase in asset management and subordinated performance fee is attributable to $2.1 million in incentive fees incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to no incentive fees incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This is partially offset by real estate owned operating expenses as there were no operating expenses on the real estate owned assets during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.1 million incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in other expenses was due to less travel and entertainment expenses for origination activities due to COVID-19.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for cash will be funding our loan investments, continuing debt service obligations, distributions to our stockholders and the payment of our operating and administrative expenses.

We expect to use additional debt and equity financing as a source of capital. Our board of directors currently intends to operate at a leverage level of between one to three times book value of equity. However, our board of directors may change this target without shareholder approval. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, we raised an additional $15.0 million through sales of preferred equity to an institutional investor. We anticipate that our debt and equity financing sources and our anticipated cash generated from operations will be adequate to fund our anticipated uses of capital.

In addition to our current mix of financing sources, we may also access additional forms of financings, including credit facilities, securitizations, public and private, secured and unsecured debt issuances by us or our subsidiaries, or through capital recycling initiatives whereby we sell certain assets in our portfolio and reinvest the proceeds in assets with more attractive risk-adjusted returns.

As discussed in detail in Note 16 - Subsequent Events, we recently entered into a definitive merger agreement with Capstead. We intend to transition the equity invested in the assets we will acquire from Capstead upon the closing of the merger into our business. Specifically, we intend to reinvest any dividend, interest and principal paid on such assets, and proceeds from the sale of such assets, into our current investment strategies. Until we fully transition this equity into our business, we expect that cash from the Capstead assets will be a significant source of capital.

Repurchase Agreements, Commercial Mortgage Loans

As of June 30, 2021, we have repurchase facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "JPM Repo Facility"), U.S Bank National Association (the "USB Repo Facility"), Barclays Bank PLC (the "Barclays Revolver Facility" and the "Barclays Repo Facility"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "WF Repo Facility"), and Credit Suisse AG (the "CS Repo Facility" and together with JPM Repo Facility, USB Repo Facility, WF Repo Facility, Barclays Revolver Facility and Barclays Repo Facility, the "Repo Facilities").

We expect to use the advances from these Repo Facilities to finance the acquisition or origination of eligible loans, including first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participation interests therein.

The Repo Facilities generally provide that in the event of a decrease in the value of our collateral, the lenders can demand additional collateral. Should the value of our collateral decrease as a result of deteriorating credit quality, resulting margin calls may cause an adverse change in our liquidity position.

Distributions

Distributions on our common stock are payable when authorized and declared by our Board of Directors. Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. Our Board of Directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time, and therefore, distributions payments are not assured.

Dividends payable on each share of Series A, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock are generally equal to the quarterly dividend that would have been paid had such share of Preferred Stock been converted to a share of common stock, except to the extent common stock dividends have been reduced below certain specified levels. To the extent dividends on shares of Preferred Stock are not authorized and declared by our board of directors and paid by the Company monthly, the dividend amounts will accrue.

In April 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a transition in the timing of its dividend payments, if any, to holders of the Company’s common stock from a monthly payment with daily accruals to a quarterly accrual and payment basis. Similarly, the Company began paying accrued and unpaid dividends on Preferred Stock on a quarterly basis.

In May 2021 the Company’s board of directors declared the following second quarter 2021 dividends: (i) a quarterly cash dividend of $0.275 per common share (equivalent to $1.10 per annum) which was paid in July 2021 to holders of record on June 30, 2021, and (ii) a quarterly cash dividend per share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock equivalent to the amount of distributions that would have been paid upon a conversion of such share of Preferred Stock into common stock, which was paid in July 2021 to holders of record on June 30, 2021. On June 28, 2021, the Company temporarily suspended the DRIP and as a result, DRIP participants, along with all other holders of the Company’s equity securities, received their second quarter 2021 Company dividends (paid in July 2021) in cash. The Company expects that the DRIP will be reactivated for the third quarter 2021 dividend.

Election as a REIT

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, if we meet certain organizational and operational requirements and distribute at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders in a year, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of the income that we distribute.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and the Investment Program Association ("IPA") industry trade groups, have each promulgated measures respectively known as funds from operations ("FFO") and modified funds from operations ("MFFO"), which we believe to be appropriate supplemental measures to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO and MFFO is recommended by the REIT industry as supplemental performance measures. However, FFO and MFFO are not substitutes to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") net income or loss. We believe our presentations of FFO and MFFO assist investors in analyzing and comparing our operating and financial performance between reporting periods.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, depreciation and amortization related to real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. Our business plan is to operate as a mortgage REIT with our portfolio consisting of commercial mortgage loan investments, investments in real estate securities and real estate owned assets.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010 - 01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the "Practice Guideline") issued by the IPA in November 2010. We define MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable: acquisition fees; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and other loan expenses on debt investments; fair value adjustments on real estate related investments such as commercial real estate securities or derivative investments included in net income; impairments of real estate related investments, gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses from fair value adjustments on real estate securities, including commercial mortgage backed securities and other securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives not deemed to be hedges and foreign exchanges holdings; unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and other loan expenses on debt investments, gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of our core operations.

Our MFFO calculation excludes impairments of real estate related investments, including loans. We assess the credit quality of our investments and adequacy of credit loss reserves on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. For loans classified as held for investment, we establish and maintain a general allowance for credit losses inherent in our portfolio at the reporting date and, where appropriate, a specific allowance for credit losses for loans we have determined to be impaired at the reporting date. An individual loan is considered impaired when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Real estate securities which have experienced a decline in the fair value below their amortized cost basis (i.e., impairment) are evaluated each reporting period to determine whether the decline in fair value is due to credit-related factors.

Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance on the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding adjustment on the consolidated statements of operations. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. We consider the estimated net recoverable value of the loan or security as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the prospects for the borrower and the competitive situation of the region where the borrower does business. Fair value is typically estimated based upon discounting the expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral taking into consideration the discount rate, capitalization rate, occupancy, creditworthiness of major tenants and many other factors.

Table of Contents

This requires significant judgment and because it is based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the loan, a specific allowance for credit losses is recorded. In the case of real estate securities, all or a portion of a deemed impairment may be recorded. Due to our limited life, any allowance for credit losses or impairment of real estate securities recorded may be difficult to recover.

The table below reflects the items deducted or added to net income or loss in our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Credit Risk

Our investments are subject to a high degree of credit risk. Credit risk is the exposure to loss from loan defaults. Default rates are subject to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, borrower financial condition, property performance, property management, supply/demand factors, construction trends, consumer behavior, regional economics, interest rates, the strength of the U.S. economy, and other factors beyond our control. All loans are subject to a certain probability of default. We manage credit risk through the underwriting process, acquiring our investments at the appropriate discount to face value, if any, and establishing loss assumptions. We also carefully monitor the performance of the loans, as well as external factors that may affect their value.

Capital Market Risk

We are exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under repurchase obligations or other debt instruments. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing and terms of capital we raise.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in extreme volatility in a variety of global markets, including the real estate-related debt markets. We have and may continue to receive margin calls from our lenders as a result of the decline in the market value of the assets pledged by us to our lenders under our repurchase agreements and warehouse credit facilities, and if we fail to resolve such margin calls when due by payment of cash or delivery of additional collateral, the lenders may exercise remedies including demanding payment by us of our aggregate outstanding financing obligations and/or taking ownership of the loans or other assets securing the applicable obligations and liquidating them at inopportune prices.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we may borrow funds at fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. We do not have any foreign denominated investments, and thus, we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our portfolio included 142 and 133 variable rate investments, respectively, based on LIBOR for various terms. Borrowings under our repurchase agreements are also based on LIBOR. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase by 50 or 100 basis points or decrease by 25 basis points, assuming that our current balance sheet was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.

For the LIBOR sensitivity range, a reduction in LIBOR results in an increase in our portfolio return. This is driven by the LIBOR floor in place for majority of our commercial mortgage loans, held for investment. In contrast, the majority of our financing instruments do not have LIBOR floors. The presence of a LIBOR floor on interest-bearing assets coupled with lack of LIBOR floor on the majority of interest bearing liabilities allows the portfolio to generate a higher return for a decrease in LIBOR rate compared to increase in LIBOR rate for the LIBOR range presented:


	Estimated Percentage Change in Interest Income Net of Interest Expense
Change in Interest Rates	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
(-) 25 Basis Points	1.71	%	2.16	%
Base Interest Rate	—	%	—	%
(+) 50 Basis Points	(4.76)	%	(5.87)	%
(+) 100 Basis Points	(7.21)	%	(9.86)	%

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial mortgage assets are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; and demographic factors. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of such period, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from these risk factors.

Risks Related to the Merger With Capstead Mortgage Corporation (“Capstead”)

The proposed merger is subject to a number of conditions which, if not satisfied or waived in a timely manner, would delay the merger or adversely impact the parties’ ability to complete the transaction.

The completion of the proposed merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions. In addition, under circumstances specified in the merger agreement, the Company or Capstead may terminate the merger agreement. In particular, completion of the merger requires the approval of the Capstead stockholders. While it is currently anticipated that the merger will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021, there can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, circumstance, occurrence, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. Accordingly, the Company and Capstead cannot provide any assurances with respect to the timing of the closing, whether the merger will be completed at all and when the Capstead stockholders would receive the consideration for the merger, if at all.

Failure to consummate the proposed merger with Capstead could negatively impact our future business and financial results.

If the proposed merger with Capstead is not consummated, our business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the potential benefits of having consummated the merger with Capstead, we will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•the Company’s stockholders would be prevented from realizing the anticipated benefits of the merger;

•reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully consummate the merger;

•being required, under certain circumstances, to pay to Capstead a termination fee or expense amount;

•incurrence of substantial costs relating to the proposed merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees; and

•the attention of our management may be diverted from the day-to-day business and operational matters as a result of efforts relating to attempting to consummate the merger.

Any delay in the consummation of the merger or any uncertainty about the consummation of the merger on terms other than those contemplated by the merger agreement, or if the merger is not completed, could materially adversely affect the business and financial results of the Company.

Risks Related to Our Business Following the Proposed Merger with Capstead

Following the Merger, the combined company may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger on the anticipated timeframe or at all.

The merger involves the combination of two companies that currently operate as independent public companies. The potential difficulties the combined company may encounter in combining the companies include, but are not limited to, the following:

•the inability of the combined company to successfully redeploy the capital acquired in connection with the merger into the Company’s investment strategies at values the Company expects or in the expected timetable;

•the complexities of combining two companies with different histories and portfolio assets;

•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or conditions associated with the merger; and

•performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the merger and integrating the companies’ operations.

Table of Contents

For all these reasons, you should be aware that it is possible that the combination process could result in the distraction of the combined company’s management, the disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business or inconsistencies in its operations, services, standards, controls, policies and procedures, any of which could adversely affect the combined company’s ability to deliver investment returns to stockholders, to maintain relationships with its key stakeholders, to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, or could otherwise materially and adversely affect its business and financial results.

We will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the proposed merger with Capstead

We will incur substantial expenses in connection with and as a result of completing the merger with Capstead and, following closing of the proposed acquisition, we expect to incur additional expenses in connection with combining the businesses of the two companies. Factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately.

Risks Related to Capstead’s Business

Consider risk factors specific to Capstead’s business that will also affect the combined company after the acquisition of Capstead. These risks are described in Part I, Item 1A of Capstead’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and in other documents filed with the SEC.
