Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanyingCompany's unaudited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are unaudited and have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”("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, 2022, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2023.
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.

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, 2016, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2017. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current presentation. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods have been included. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
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. Non-controlling interest represents the equity of consolidated joint ventures that are not owned by the Company.
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 sheetsheets in accordance with ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.Consolidation.
Acquisition FeesCertain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. For the period ended March 31, 2022, Unrealized (gain)/loss on other real estate investments, measured at fair value of ($4.0) thousand, and Realized (gain)/loss on other real estate investments, measured at fair value of $33 thousand was reclassified to (Gain)/loss on other real estate investments on the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, $0.5 million was reclassified from Professional fees to Share-based compensation on the consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisition Expenses
The Company incurs acquisition fees and acquisition expenses payable to the Advisor. The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition fee based on the principal amount funded by the Company to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loan investments or on the anticipated net equity funded by the Company to acquire real estate securities. Acquisition fees and acquisition expenses paid to the Company's Advisor in connection with the origination and acquisition of commercial mortgage loan investments and acquisition of real estate securities are evaluated based on the nature of the expense to determine if they should be expensed in the period incurred or capitalized and amortized over the life of the investment. The Company capitalizes certain direct costs relating to the loan origination activities and theactivities. The cost is amortized over the life of the loan.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 Advisor receives an acquisition feeduration of 1.0%this restricted cash generally matches the duration of the principal amount funded by the Company to originaterelated repurchase agreements or acquire commercial mortgage loans (or anticipated net equity funded by the Company in the case of acquisition of real estate securities) and receives reimbursement for insourced acquisition expenses of 0.5%; provided, however, that if and when the aggregate purchase price for all investments acquired after the date of the Advisory Agreement reaches $600,000,000, the Company’s obligation to pay acquisition fees to the Advisor shall terminate. There is no such limitation on the acquisition expense reimbursements. In September 2017, the Company's aggregate purchase price for all investments acquired reached $600,000,000, and concurrently terminated the 1.0% acquisition fee payments to the Advisor for all investments subsequent to the limit being reached.derivative transaction.

Real estate owned
The Company classifies its real estate owned as long-lived assets held for investment or as long-lived assets held for sale. Held for investment assets are stated at cost, as adjusted for any impairment loss, less accumulated depreciation.
Real estate owned, held for investment - Amounts capitalized to real estate owned, held for investment consist of December 31, 2016,the cost of acquisition or construction, any tenant improvements or major improvements, betterments that extend the useful life of the related asset, and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of an individual asset that does not qualify as a business combination. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the Company didcapitalizes interest while the development, or redevelopment, of a real estate owned asset is in progress. No development or redevelopments of real estate owned assets are in progress as of March 31, 2023.
The Company’s real estate owned, held for investment assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Buildings40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment15 years
Site Improvements5 - 25 years
Intangible lease assetsLease term
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of either operating properties or properties under construction in which the Company has an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not accountbe recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses whether the respective carrying values will be recovered from the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition for anyassets held for use, or from the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that the expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the respective asset carrying value, management adjusts such assets to the respective estimated fair values and recognizes an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, depending upon availability, in order of preference: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated sales value (which is based on key assumptions such as estimated market rents, lease-up periods, estimated lease terms, and capitalization and discount rates) less estimated selling costs.
Real estate owned, held for sale - Real estate owned is classified as held for sale in the period in which the six criteria under ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" are met: (1) we commit to a plan and have the authority to sell the asset; (2) the asset is available for sale in its current condition; (3) we have initiated an active marketing plan to locate a buyer for the asset; (4) the sale of the asset is both probable and expected to qualify for full sales recognition within a period of 12 months; (5) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reflective of its commercial mortgage loans undercurrent fair value; and (6) we do not anticipate changes to our plan to sell the asset. Held for sale assets are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Real estate owned assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be accrued. Upon the disposition of a real estate owned asset, the Company calculates 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. Gains and losses on real estate owned, held for sale are included in (Gain)/loss on other real estate investments on the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities of Acquired Properties
Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company records the fair value option.of properties (plus any related acquisition costs) allocated based on relative fair value as tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based on their estimated fair values. Substantially all of the Company’s property acquisitions qualify as asset acquisitions under ASC 805, Business Combinations.
AllowanceThe estimated fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building based on management’s determination of the estimated fair value of these assets. Management relies on a sales comparison approach using closed land sales and listings in determining the land value and determines the as-if-vacant estimated fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates the cost to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs.
The estimated fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of market rates for Loanthe corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases, taking into consideration the probability of renewals for any below-market leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenues over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The estimated fair values of in-place leases include an estimate of the direct costs associated with obtaining the acquired or "in place" tenant and estimates of opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease. The amount capitalized as direct costs associated with obtaining a tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated based on management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct lease origination costs are included in deferred lease costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. These lease intangibles are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses required under ASU 2016-13 is deducted from the respective loan's amortized cost basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
General allowance for credit losses
The general 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 losses reflects management'scommitments represents a lifetime estimate of expected credit losses. Factors considered by the Company when determining the general 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 general allowance for credit losses inherentis 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 general 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 general 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 2001 - 2021 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.
When a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a loan is modified, the effect of the modification will be included in the loan portfolio asCompany’s assessment of the balance sheet date. The reserve is increased through the loan loss provision on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and is decreased by charge-offs when losses are confirmed through the receipt of assets, such as cash in a pre-foreclosure sale or upon ownership control of the underlying collateral in full satisfaction of the loan upon foreclosure or when significant collection efforts have ceased. The Company uses a uniform process for determining itsCECL allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses includes a general, formula-based component and an asset-specific component.
General reserves are recorded when (i) available information as of each balance sheet date indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred inIf the portfolio and (ii)Company provides principal forgiveness, the amountamortized cost basis of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates loss rates based on historical realized losses experienced in the industry, given the fact the Company has not experienced any losses, and takes into account current collateral and economic conditions affecting the probability and severity of losses when establishingloan is written off against the allowance for loan losses. Generally, when modifying loans, the Company will seek to protect its position by requiring incremental pay downs, additional collateral or guarantees and, in some cases, lookback features or equity interests to offset the effects of modifications granted should conditions impacting the loan improve.
Specific allowance for credit losses
For financial instruments where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company’s assessment at the reporting date and 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 a specific allowance for credit losses.
For financial instruments which the Company identifies reasonable doubt as to whether the collection of contractual components can be satisfied, a loan specific allowance analysis is performed. Determining whether a specific allowance for credit losses for a loan is required entails significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to have a specific allowance for current losses, the specific allowance for current losses is recorded as a component of our Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") reserve by applying the practical expedient for collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserve is assessed on an individual basis for such loans by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plans, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by the Company. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ materially from these estimates. The Company only expects to write-off specific allowances for current losses if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is generally determined at the time a loan is settled, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold. Non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in the Company's determination, it is deemed certain that all amounts due will not be collected. If a loan is determined to be impaired based on the above considerations, management records a write-off through a charge to the "Allowance for credit losses" and the respective loan balance.
Risk Rating
In developing the allowances 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. The Company considers, among other things, payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investmentcollectability, using similar factors as those in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors.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. RatingsRisk rating categories range from "1" to "5" with "1" representing the lowest risk of loss and "5" representing the highest risk of loss.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:

The asset-specific reserve component relatesCompany also considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to, reserves for losses on individual impaired loans. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current informationeconomic and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual termsbusiness conditions, nature and volume of the loan agreement. This assessmentportfolio, 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 allowances 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 balances are written off in a timely manner when loans, real estate securities or preferred equity investments are designated as non-performing and placed on non-accrual or cost recovery status within 90 days of becoming past due.
Non-performing status
The Company designates loans as non-performing when (i) full payment of principal and/or coupon interest components become 90-days past due ("non-accrual status"); or (ii) the Company has reasonable doubt as to whether the collection of contractual components can be satisfied ("cost recovery status"). When a loan is madedesignated as non-performing and placed on non-accrual status, interest is only recognized as income when payment has been received. Loans designated as non-performing and placed on non-accrual status are removed from their non-performing designation when collection of principal and coupon interest components have been satisfied. When a loan is designated as non-performing and placed on cost recovery status, the cost-recovery method is applied to which receipt of principal or coupon interest is recorded as a reduction to the amortized cost until collection of all contractual components are reasonably assured.
Real Estate Securities
Available For Sale
The Company’s real estate securities are classified as available for sale ("AFS") and carried at fair value. Changes in fair value of available for sale real estate securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized or accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization and accretion are 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 available for sale trading 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 real estate securities portfolio on a periodic basis for credit losses at the individual loan basis each quarter based on such factors as payment status, lien position,security level using the same criteria described above for those amortized cost financial assets subject to an provision 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 geographicalgeographic location as well as national and regional economic factors. A reserve is established for an impaired loan when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices or the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) is lower than the carrying value of that loan.
For collateral dependent impaired loans, impairment is measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less the estimated cost to sell. Valuations are performed or obtained at the time a loan is determined to be impaired and designated non-performing, and they are updated if circumstances indicate that a significant change in value has occurred. The Advisor generally will use the income approach through internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans. In more limited cases, the Advisor will obtain external "as is" appraisals for loan collateral, generally when third

The Company uses a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or to be written off when ittaken 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 no longer realizableto classify these amounts as provision for income taxes.
The Company utilizes the TRSs to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax and legally discharged.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, such asincluding but not limited to: Treasury note futures, interest rate swaps, 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 gain/(loss)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 Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock are each 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 attributableapplicable to the Companycommon 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 issuableoutstanding 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 Series H Preferred Stock and if convertible shares were exercised,Series I Preferred Stock, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had two loans with a total amortized cost basis of $83.5 million designated as non-performing status. One loan is for a hotel property located in New York City which was placed on non-accrual status in 2019 and had an amortized cost basis of $57.1 million as of March 31, 2023. No specific allowance for credit losses has been recorded on the loan. The Company did not recognize any interest income on the non-accrual loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In April 2023, the New York Hotel property was sold and as a result of the sale, the Company has recovered the full principal amount of its loan (equal to the carrying cost of the loan as of December 31, 2022) and approximately $20.0 million of additional proceeds after the payment of all related closing expenses. As of December 31, 2022, the hotel property in New York City, had a carrying value of $57.1 million, designated as non-performing, and no specific allowance for credit loss was recorded for the loan.
The second loan relates to a commercial mortgage loan with a fully funded outstanding principal balance of $38.4 million and an amortized costs basis of $26.4 million collateralized by a portfolio of retail properties (the "Walgreens Portfolio") in various locations throughout the United States. The loan has been assigned a risk rating of “5” and concurrently, the Company elected to apply a practical expedient for collateral dependent assets in which a specific allowance for credit loss was determined. The loan was evaluated in accordance with ASC 310 - Receivables and was determined to be a TDR. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company recorded an additional $0.8 million to the specific allowance for credit losses and charged off the remaining $15.1 million specific allowance which directly reduced the amortized cost basis of the loan. The Company designated the loan as non-performing and placed the loan on cost recovery status during the second quarter of 2022. Upon designation, the Company ceased the recognition of interest income. Any contractual amounts received are accounted for under the cost-recovery method, until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $2.6 million in cost recovery proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received $0.6 million additional cost recovery proceeds and $1.1 million was transferred to real estate owned in connection with the five properties foreclosed upon during the period. Cost recovery proceeds directly reduce the amortized cost of the loan. As of December 31, 2022, the retail portfolio had a carrying value of $46.0 million net of a specific allowance for credit losses of $14.2 million.

The Company invested a total of $109.8 million, made up of $88.7 million in debt and $21.1 million in equity, representing 79% of the ownership interest in the Jeffersonville JV. The affiliated fund made up the remaining $29.8 million composed of a $24.0 million mortgage note payable and $5.7 million in non-controlling interest. The Company has control of Jeffersonville JV with 79% ownership and, therefore, consolidates Jeffersonville JV on its consolidated balance sheet.

As disclosed in Note 3 - Commercial Mortgage Loans in April 2022, the Company fully funded a $113.2 million first mortgage loan, collateralized by the Walgreens Portfolio consisting of 24 retail properties with various locations throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2022, through foreclosures, the Company acquired ten of the 24 properties, and subsequently acquired an additional five of the properties during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As a result, the Company recorded at fair value $61.8 million and $40.1 million, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of real estate owned, held for investment. These properties are held through a joint venture entity, BSPRT Walgreens Portfolio, LLC (the "Walgreens JV"), formed by the Company and an affiliate of the Company. The Company has 75.618% ownership interest in the Walgreens JV, while the affiliated fund has 24.242% interest. The Company has control of 15 of the 24 Walgreens properties acquired through foreclosure as the majority owner in the joint venture and, therefore, consolidates these properties on its consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $13.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively, in non-controlling interest related to the Walgreens properties on its consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Walgreens JV obtained legal ownership of nine additional properties.
We are engaged in ongoing litigation relating to the loan secured by the Walgreens Portfolio, as more fully described in "Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings".
Real Estate Owned, Held for Sale
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into agreements with two borrowers to voluntarily transfer their assets in exchange for the removal of the borrowers' obligation to repay all of the associated commercial mortgage loans receivable with an amortized cost of $36.9 million, in aggregate, provided by the Company. One of the voluntary transfers collateralized by a multifamily portfolio was the result of the borrower experiencing financial difficulty and the recorded investment in the receivable was more than the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, for the collateral collected. Therefore, the voluntary transfer qualified as a TDR. The Company accounted for both voluntary transfers and the real estate owned acquired as asset acquisitions. The voluntary transfers resulted in a total realized loss of $0.4 million, in aggregate, and was recognized in Realized (gain)/loss on sale of commercial mortgage loan, held for sale in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has designated the properties included within the real estate owned business segment as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360. The properties are currently being marketed and sales are probable to occur within one year. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $1.3 million. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the carrying value on real estate owned, held for sale assets amounted to $35.2 million and $36.5 million, respectively, in aggregate.

Repurchase Agreements - Real Estate Securities Classified As Trading
The Company pledges its real estate securities classified as trading as collateral for repurchase agreements with commercial banks and other financial institutions. Repurchase arrangements entered into by the Company involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets at a future date and are accounted for as financings. The Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific securities pledged during the term of each repurchase arrangement and receives the related principal and interest payments.
The terms and conditions of repurchase agreements are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each such agreement is initiated or renewed. The amount borrowed is generally equal to the fair value of the securities pledged, as determined by the lending counterparty, less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a “haircut.” Interest rates are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Interest may be paid monthly or at the termination of an agreement at which time the Company may enter into a new agreement at prevailing haircuts and rates with the same lending counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different lending counterparty. None of the Company’s lending counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new agreements at the conclusion of existing agreements. In response to declines in fair value of pledged securities due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security pay-down factors, lending counterparties typically require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or fund cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements. These actions are referred to as margin calls. Conversely, in response to increases in fair value of pledged securities, the Company routinely margin calls its lending counterparties in order to have previously pledged collateral returned.
Repurchase agreements (and related pledged collateral, including accrued interest receivable), classified by remaining maturities, and related weighted average borrowing rates as of the indicated dates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Interest paid on repurchase agreements, including related derivative payments, totaled $2.0 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 6 - Net Income Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS, except the number of shares is increased to include additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Potential common shares consist primarily of share-based compensation awards calculated using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company did not have any anti-dilutive common shares outstanding. The following table is a summary of the basic and diluted net income per share computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

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.
On May 13, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized and declared a distribution calculated daily at a rate of $0.00565068493 per day, which is equivalent to $2.0625 per annum, per share of common stock. In March 2016, the Company's board of directors ratified the existing distribution amount equivalent to $2.0625 per annum for calendar year 2016. On November 10, 2016 the Company’s board of directors changed the DRIP offer price to $20.05, which is equal to the estimated per-share NAV as of September 30, 2016 approved by the board of directors. In August 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared a distribution calculated daily at a rate of $0.00394521 per day, which is equivalent to $1.44 per annum, per share of common stock. The price change was applied to the reinvestment of distributions commencing with the October 2016 distributions. On May 10, 2017, the Company’s board of directors changed the methodology used to determine the DRIP offer price to be 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. Based on this new methodology, the DRIP offer price for May 2017, June 2017 and July 2017 was $19.62 per share, which was the GAAP book value per share as of March 31, 2017. The DRIP offer price for September 2017, October 2017 and November 2017 was $19.29 per share, which was the GAAP book value per share as of June 30, 2017. Starting December 2017 the DRIP offer price will be $19.02 per share, which is the Company's estimated per share NAV as of September 30, 2017.
The Company's distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. 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.

Note 1013 - 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:
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’sentity'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
CMBSCRE CLO bonds, 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 and the spreads used in the prior valuation. 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 current market spread information where available and uses this information in evaluating and validating the market price of all CMBS.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. As of September 30, 2017 theThe Company had no CMBS. As of December 31, 2016, the Company obtained broker quotesobtains third party pricing for determining the fair value of each CMBSCRE CLO investment, used. Asresulting in a Level II classification.

The fair value for Treasury note futures is derived using market prices. Treasury note futures trade on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”). The deliverable 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 inas Level I of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value for a credit default swap contract isswaps and interest rate swaps contracts are derived using a pricing modelmodels that isare widely accepted by marketplace participants. Credit default swaps and some interest rate swaps are traded in the OTCover the counter ("OTC") market. The pricing model takesmodels take into account multiple inputs including specific contract terms, interest rate yield curves, interest rates, credit curves, recovery rates, andand/or current credit spreads obtained from swap counterparties and other market participants. Most inputs into the modelmodels 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 as Level II of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of exchange-traded swap agreements economically hedging RMBS repurchase agreements are calculated using the net discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts which are based on expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company also incorporates both its own nonperformance risk and its counterparties’ nonperformance risk in determining fair value. In considering the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considered the impact of netting and credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees, and has concluded that counterparty risk is not significant to the overall valuation. Interest rate swap agreements economically hedging the Company's RMBS repurchase agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level II inputs. The fair value of these derivatives is calculated including accrued interest and net of variation margin amounts received or paid through the exchange, resulting in a significantly reduced fair value amount representing the unsettled fair value of these derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets.
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 March 31, 2023. Material transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the period ended December 31, 2022 were specifically related to the transfer of ARM Agency Securities from Level II to Level III.

This valuation was performedMarch 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, would result 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. We believe that there have been no material changes between the Valuation Date and the date of this filing that would impact the estimateda fully-converted book value per share NAV.
With the unanimous approval of our board of directors, we engaged an independent third-party valuation firm to estimate the fair value of our loans. The valuation firm estimated the value of our loan portfolio by applying a discounted cash flow analysis to each loan to determine a range of estimated valuations. To estimate the Company’s NAV, the Advisor adjusted the loan portfolio valuation prepared by the valuation advisor by adding the amounts of cash$15.86 and other tangible assets reflected on our balance sheet (as computed in accordance with GAAP) and subtracting our liabilities as reflected on our balance sheet (computed in accordance with GAAP). Based in part on these valuation ranges, the Advisor estimated that the Company’s NAV$15.84 as of September 30, 2017 ranged from $18.56March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which requires us to $19.49, with a midpoint estimated NAV of $19.02 (the “Midpoint Valuation”). The Advisor recommended our board of directors approve the Midpoint Valuation as our estimated per share NAV. As with any methodology used to estimate value, the methodologies employed to estimate the NAV were based upon a number ofmake estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. If different judgments, assumptions or opinions were used, a different estimate would likely result.
We believe thataffect the method used to determine the estimated per share NAVreported amounts 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.
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 willat the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting estimates are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change over timein subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as a result of changes relatingcompared to the individual loanscritical accounting estimates disclosed in our portfolio as well as changesManagement’s Discussion and developmentsAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the real estate and capital markets generally, including changes in interest rates.

The commercial mortgage loans, held for investment as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 had a total carrying value, net of allowance for loancredit losses, of $1,285.1$5,022.8 million and $1,046.6 million.$5,228.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016, the Company's2022, our total commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value, were comprised of 4two loans with total fair value of $15.9 million and 0two loans with total fair value of $15.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022 we had real estate securities, trading, measured at fair values of $133.7 million and $235.7 million, respectively, due to the Company's total CMBSprogress in selling down the ARM Agency Securities portfolio acquired from Capstead. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $112.3 million and $221.0 million, respectively, of real estate securities, available for sale, measured at fair value. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our real estate owned, held for investment portfolio was composed of 16 and 11 investments, respectively, with carrying values of $148.6 million and $127.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had two properties classified as real estate owned, held for sale with a combined fair value of $0.0$35.2 million and $49.0$36.5 million, respectively. For
As of March 31, 2023, we had two loans with a total amortized cost basis of $83.5 million designated as non-performing status. One loan is for a hotel property located in New York City, which was placed on non-accrual status in 2019 and had an amortized cost basis of $57.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. No specific allowance for credit losses has been recorded on the loan. The Company did not recognize any interest income on the non-accrual loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, in April 2023, the Company received full principal repayment related to the New York City hotel property.
The second loan relates to a commercial mortgage loan with a fully funded outstanding principal balance of $38.4 million and an amortized costs basis of $26.4 million collateralized by a portfolio of retail properties in various locations throughout the United States. The loan has been assigned a risk rating of “5” and concurrently, the Company elected to apply a practical expedient for collateral dependent assets in which a specific allowance for credit loss was determined. The loan
was evaluated in accordance with ASC 310 - Receivables and was determined to be a TDR. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company recorded an additional $0.8 million to the specific allowance for credit losses and charged off the remaining $15.1 million specific allowance which directly reduced the amortized cost basis of the loan. The Company designated the loan as non-performing and placed the loan on cost recovery status during the second quarter of 2022. Upon designation, the Company ceased the recognition of interest income. Any contractual amounts received are accounted for under the cost-recovery method, until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $2.6 million in cost recovery proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $0.6 million of additional cost recovery proceeds was received and $1.1 million was transferred to real estate owned in connection with the five properties foreclosed upon during the period. As of March 31, 2023 the Company had $2.1 million in cost recovery proceeds. Cost recovery proceeds directly reduce the amortized cost of the loan. As of December 31, 2022, the retail portfolio had a carrying value of $46.0 million net of a specific allowance for credit losses of $14.2 million. See "Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about this loan and related litigation. Future developments relating to these legal proceedings could have a material impact on our future results.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 our commercial mortgage loans, held for investment excluding commercial mortgage loans accounted for under the fair value option, we currently estimate loss rates based on historical realized losses experienced in the industry and take into account current collateral and economic conditions affecting the probability or severity of losses when establishing the allowance for loan losses. We recorded a general allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in the amount of $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. There were no impaired or specifically reserved loans in the portfolio as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our commercial mortgage loans, excluding commercial mortgage loans accounted for under the fair value optionnon-performing status, had a weighted average coupon of 6.4%8.8% and 6.1%8.3%, and a weighted average remaining life of 1.51.2 years and 1.91.4 years, respectively. We had no CMBS
As of March 31, 2023, the value of the Company’s residential ARM Agency Securities portfolio was $133.7 million, compared to $235.7 million as of September 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, our CMBS investments had a weighted average coupon2022. The reduction in the value of 5.8%this portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2023, is due in part to (i) $7.5 million of principal paydowns and a remaining life(ii) $95.5 million of 3.1 yearssales and (iii) $3.0 million of trading gains related to principal paydowns, changes in market values, and sales of these securities.

(1) Our floating rate loan agreements generally 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"“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. Predevelopment construction loans at origination will not have an LTV and therefore is nil.

(3) Loan was designated as non-performing and placed on cost recovery status. In this instance, the assumed collateral value was less than the value of the loan, therefore the LTV at origination is not relevant.
(4) Commitment on the loan was unfunded as of March 31, 2023.
(5) Effective yield is calculated as the spread of the loan plus the higher of any applicable index or index floor.
(6) Includes $7.4 million of amortized cost of mezzanine note as a result of a loan modification accounted for as a continuation of an existing loan for GAAP purposes. Interest Rate, Effective Yield, and Loan to Value are shown blended based on the weighted average principal balances of the senior and mezzanine notes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the increase in specific reserve of $0.8 million is due to higher capitalization rates on the assumed fair value of the Walgreens properties which was partially offset by the cost recovery proceeds received during the quarter.

Unrealized (Gain)/Loss on Commercial Mortgage Loans, Held for Sale, Measured at Fair Value
Unrealized gain on commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value, at the TRS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.3 million compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Repurchase Agreements - Real Estate Securities Classified As Trading
The Company pledges its real estate securities classified as trading as collateral for repurchase agreements with commercial banks and other financial institutions. Repurchase arrangements entered into by the Company involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets at a future date and are accounted for as financings. The Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific securities pledged during the term of each repurchase arrangement and receives the related principal and interest payments.
The terms and conditions of repurchase agreements are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each such agreement is initiated or renewed. The amount borrowed is generally equal to the fair value of the securities pledged, as determined by the lending counterparty, less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a “haircut.” Interest rates are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Interest may be paid monthly or at the termination of an agreement at which time the Company may enter into a new agreement at prevailing haircuts and rates with the same lending counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different lending counterparty. None of the Company’s lending counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new agreements at the conclusion of existing agreements. In response to declines in fair value of pledged securities due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security pay-down factors, lending counterparties typically require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or fund cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements. These actions are referred to as margin calls. Conversely, in response to increases in fair value of pledged securities, the Company routinely margin calls its lending counterparties in order to have previously pledged collateral returned.

Average repurchase agreements outstanding were $149.4 million and $220.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Average repurchase agreements outstanding differed from respective period-end balances during the indicated periods primarily due to changes in portfolio levels and differences in the timing of portfolio acquisitions relative to portfolio runoff and asset sales. Interest paid on repurchase agreements, including related derivative payments, totaled $2.0 million and $1.26 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company finances its residential mortgage investments primarily by borrowing under repurchase arrangements, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis, when each such agreement is initiated or renewed.
Future agreements are dependent upon the willingness of lenders to participate in the financing of mortgage investments, lender collateral requirements and the lenders’ determination of the fair value of the investments pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates and liquidity conditions within the commercial banking and mortgage finance industries. None of our repurchase agreement counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new agreements at the conclusion of existing borrowings.
To help mitigate exposure to rising short-term interest rates, the Company may economically hedge the portfolio of repurchase agreements using derivatives supplemented with longer-maturity repurchase agreements when available at attractive rates and terms. As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not hold any derivative positions related to the trading securities.

Election as a REIT
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the JPM Repo Facility offset by $44.5 million fromInternal 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 paymentcapital 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. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our CMBS MRAS,income and property, and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Related Party Arrangements
We entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor on September 29, 2016.
The Advisor Agreement provides the Advisor shall receive an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the principal amount funded by usRefer to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loans and 1.0% of the anticipated net equity funded by us to acquire real estate securities; provided, however, that if and when the aggregate purchase price for all investments acquired after the date of the Advisory Agreement reaches $600,000,000, our obligation to pay acquisition fees to the Advisor shall terminate. We reimburse the Advisor for insourced expenses incurred by the Advisor on our behalf related to selecting, evaluating, originating and acquiring investments in an amount up to 0.5% of the principal amount funded by us to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loans and up to 0.5% of the anticipated net equity funded by us to acquire real estate securities investments. In no event will the total of all acquisition fees and acquisition expenses exceed 4.5% of the principal amount funded with respect to our total portfolio including subsequent funding to investments in our portfolio. In September 2017, the Company's aggregate purchase price for all investments acquired after the date of the Advisory Agreement reached $600,000,000, and therefore we will no longer be obligated to pay the Advisor acquisition fees in connection with acquisitions subsequent to that date.
We pay the Advisor, or its affiliates, a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.5% of stockholder’s equity as calculated pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. We will pay the Advisor, an annual subordinated performance fee calculated on the basis of total return to stockholders, payable monthly in arrears, such that for any year in which total return on stockholders’ capital exceeds 6.0% per annum, the Advisor will be entitled to 15.0% of the excess total return; provided that in no event will the annual subordinated performance fee payable to the Advisor exceed 10.0% of the aggregate total return for such year. We will reimburse the Advisor for expenses incurred related to administrative services such as accounting, legal and other services in accordance with the advisory agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from OperationsDistributable Earnings and Modified Funds from OperationsRun-Rate Distributable Earnings
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 MFFODistributable Earnings is recommended by the REIT industry as supplemental performance measures. FFO and MFFO are not equivalents to our net income or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent withwhich the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT,Company defines as revised in February 2004 (the "White Paper"). The White Paper defines FFO asGAAP net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, property and asset impairment write-downs, depreciation(loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our business plan is to operate as a mortgage REIT with our portfolio consisting of commercial mortgage loan investments and investments in real estate securities. We will typically have no FFO adjustments to our net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as a result of operating as a mortgage REIT. Although we haveover the ability to acquire real property, we have not acquired any at this time and as such have not had any FFO adjustments to our net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP.
Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically operate differently from exchange traded REITs because they generally have a limited life followed by a liquidity event or other targeted exit strategy. Non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation as compared to later years when the proceeds from their continuous public offering have been fully invested and when we are seeking to implement a liquidity event or other exit strategy. However, it is likely that we will make investments past the acquisition stage, albeit at a substantially lower level.
The origination and acquisition of debt investments is a key operating feature of our business plan that results in the generation of income and cash flows in order to make distributions to stockholders. Acquisition fees paid to our Advisor and acquisition expenses reimbursed to our Advisor in connection with the origination and acquisition of debt investments are evaluated in accordance with GAAP to determine if they should be expensed in the period incurred or capitalized and amortized over theexpected useful life of the investment. Acquisition fees and acquisition expenses that are deemed to be expensed in the period incurred are included in the computation of net income or loss from operations. The amortization of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses that are able to be capitalized are included in the computation of net income or loss from operations. All such acquisition fees and acquisition expenses are paid in cash when incurred that would otherwise be available to distribute to our stockholders. When proceeds from our equity offerings have not been sufficient to fund the payment of acquisition fees and the reimbursement of acquisition expenses to our Former Advisor or Advisor, such fees and expenses have been paid from other sources, including financings, operating cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of investments or from other cash flows. We believe that acquisition fees and acquisition expenses incurred by us negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which such investments are originated or acquired by reducing cash flows and therefore the potential distributions to stockholders.
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 (to the extent reflected in net income or loss from operations in the current period); 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,Company's CLOs, (ii) 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,loans, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealizedand ARMs, including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) non-cash subordinated performance fee accruals, (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well ason debt extinguishment, (viii) certain other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activitiesnon-cash items, and in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we will be responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we expect to retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. 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(ix) impairments of real estateacquisition assets related investments, including loans. We assess the credit quality of our investments and adequacy of loan 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 loan losses inherent in our portfolio at the reporting date and, where appropriate, a specific allowance for loan 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 termsCapstead merger. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ARMs.
78

The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in this analysis. We consider the estimated net recoverable value of the loan or security as well as other factors, including but not limitedaddition 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. 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 loan 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 loan losses or impairment of real estate securities recorded may be difficult to recover.
MFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure. Although management uses the MFFO metric to evaluate future operating performance, this metric excludes certain key operating items and other adjustments that may affect our overall operating performance. MFFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors.
We believe that FFO provides useful context for understanding MFFO, and we believe that MFFOdisclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful non-GAAP measurefinancial metric for non-listed REITs. It is helpfulexisting and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its taxable income, subject to managementcertain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in assessing our future operatingits common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance once our organizationexcluding the effects of certain transactions and offering and acquisition and development stagesGAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are complete, because it eliminates from net income non-cash fair value adjustments on our real estate securities and acquisition fees and acquisition expenses that are incurred as part of our investment activities. However, MFFO may not be a useful measure of our operating performance or as a comparable measure to other typical non-listed REITs if we do not continue to operate in a similar manner to other non-listed REITs, including if we were to extend our acquisition and development stage or if we determined not to pursue an exit strategy.
However, MFFO does have certain limitations. For instance, the effect of any amortization or accretion on investments originated or acquired at a premium or discount, respectively, is not reported in MFFO. In addition, realized gains or losses from acquisitions and dispositions and other adjustments listed above are not reported in MFFO, even though such realized gains or losses and other adjustments could affect our operating performance and cash available for distribution. Stockholders should note that any cash gains generated from the sale of investments would generally be used to fund new investments. Any mark-to-market or fair value adjustments may be based on many factors, including current operational or individual property issues or general market or overall industry conditions.
Neither FFO nor MFFO is equivalent to net income or loss or cash flow provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in evaluating our operating performance or our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Neither FFO nor MFFO is necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFOcurrent loan portfolio performance and MFFOthe Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. The Company believes Run-Rate Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric because it presents the Distributable Earnings of its core businesses, net of the impacts of the realized trading and derivative gain/loss on the residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities acquired from Capstead, which the Company is actively in the process of liquidating from its portfolio.
Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Furthermore, neither FFO nor MFFOnet income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or loss(loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

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.
Market uncertainty and volatility may cause fluctuation in market value of certain asset classes within our portfolio. 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.
Market Risk
As a result of the closing of the Capstead merger on October 19, 2021 we hold ARM Agency securities. Changes in the level of interest rates and spreads can significantly impact the value of these assets. We may utilize a variety of financial instruments in order to limit the adverse effects of interest rates on our results. Since the closing of the merger, we have made significant strides in unwinding our ARMs portfolio and expect to reduce this portfolio and thereby further mitigate our market risk.
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. During the periods covered by this report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign denominated investments, and thus, we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

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 1A. Risk Factors.
Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in theour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, we2022. There have identified the followingbeen no material changes from these risk factors which may potentially impact our business due to the conduit segment of the business.factors.

We may use warehouse facilities that may limit our ability to acquire assets, and we may incur losses if the collateral is liquidated.

We may utilize warehouse facilities pursuant to which we accumulate mortgage loans in anticipation of a securitization financing, which assets are pledged as collateral for such facilities until the securitization transaction is consummated. In order to borrow funds to acquire assets under any additional warehouse facilities, we expect that our lenders thereunder would have the right to review the potential assets for which we are seeking financing. We may be unable to obtain the consent of a lender to acquire assets that we believe would be beneficial to us and we may be unable to obtain alternate financing for such assets. In addition, no assurance can be given that a securitization transaction would be consummated with respect to the assets being warehoused. If the securitization is not consummated, the lender could liquidate the warehoused collateral and we would then have to pay any amount by which the original purchase price of the collateral assets exceeds its sale price, subject to negotiated caps, if any, on our exposure. In addition, regardless of whether the securitization is consummated, if any of the warehoused collateral is sold before the consummation, we would have to bear any resulting loss on the sale. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain additional warehouse facilities on favorable terms, or at all.

We directly or indirectly utilize non‑recourse securitizations, and such structures expose us to risks that could result in losses to us.

We utilize non‑recourse securitizations of our investments in mortgage loans to the extent consistent with the maintenance of our REIT qualification and exemption from the Investment Company Act in order to generate cash for funding new investments and/or to leverage existing assets. In most instances, this involves us transferring our loans to a special purpose securitization entity in exchange for cash. In some sale transactions, we also retain a subordinated interest in the loans sold. The securitization of our portfolio investments might magnify our exposure to losses on those portfolio investments because the subordinated interest we retain in the loans sold would be subordinate to the senior interest in the loans sold, and we would, therefore, absorb all of the losses sustained with respect to a loan sold before the owners of the senior interest experience any losses. Moreover, we cannot be assured that we will be able to access the securitization market in the future, or be able to do so at favorable rates. The inability to consummate securitizations of our portfolio investments to finance our investments on a long‑term basis could require us to seek other forms of potentially less attractive financing or to liquidate assets at an inopportune time or price, which could adversely affect our performance and our ability to continue to grow our business.

The securitization market is subject to an evolving regulatory environment that may affect certain aspects of these activities.

As a result of the dislocation of the credit markets, the securitization market has become subject to additional regulation. In particular, pursuant to the Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, various federal agencies have promulgated a rule that generally requires issuers in securitizations to retain 5% of the risk associated with the securities. To the extent we are required to buy significant B‑Pieces in our securitizations, this could reduce our returns in these transactions.


We enter into hedging transactions that could expose us to contingent liabilities in the future.

Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, part of our investment strategy involves entering into hedging transactions that require us to fund cash payments in certain circumstances (such as the early termination of the hedging instrument caused by an event of default or other early termination event, or the decision by a counterparty to request margin securities it is contractually owed under the terms of the hedging instrument). The amount due would be equal to the unrealized loss of the open swap positions with the respective counterparty and could also include other fees and charges. These economic losses will be reflected in our results of operations, and our ability to fund these obligations will depend on the liquidity of our assets and access to capital at the time, and the need to fund these obligations could adversely impact our financial condition.

Hedging may adversely affect our earnings, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we pursue various hedging strategies to seek to reduce our exposure to adverse changes in interest rates. Our hedging activity varies in scope based on the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, the types of assets held and other changing market conditions. Hedging may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:
interest rate, currency and/or credit hedging can be expensive and may result in us receiving less interest income;
available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought;
due to a credit loss, prepayment or asset sale, the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related asset or liability;
the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than hedging transactions that satisfy certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code or that are done through a taxable REIT subsidiary) to offset losses is limited by U.S. federal tax provisions governing REITs;
the credit quality of the hedging counterparty owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction; and
the hedging counterparty owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay.

We may fail to recalculate, readjust or execute hedges in an efficient manner.

Any hedging activity in which we engage may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. Therefore, while we may enter into such transactions seeking to reduce risks, unanticipated changes in interest rates, credit spreads or currencies may result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions or liabilities being hedged may vary materially. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio positions or liabilities being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss.
