Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc., (the "Company") is a real estate finance company that primarily originates, acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments secured by properties located within and outside the United States. The Company is a Maryland corporation and has made tax elections to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes since 2013.

The Company believes that it has qualified as a REIT and intends to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Benefit Street Partners Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP. In addition, the Company, through one or more subsidiaries which are treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”), is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes.

The Company has no employees. Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. serves as the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") pursuant

to an advisory agreement, as amended on August 18, 2021 (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Advisor, an investment adviser registered with the SEC, is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm.

Established in 2008, the Advisor's credit platform manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private/opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the platform. The Advisor manages the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation fees and reimbursements for services related to the investment and management of the Company's assets and the operations of the Company. The advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., which together with its various subsidiaries operates as "Franklin Templeton”.

The Company invests in commercial real estate debt investments, which may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. The Company also originates conduit loans which the Company intends to sell through its TRS into commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") securitization transactions. Historically this business has focused primarily on CMBS, commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation bonds ("CRE CLO bonds"), collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and other securities. As a result of the October 2021 acquisition of Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead"), the Company acquired a portfolio of residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) in the form of residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities ("ARM Agency Securities" or "ARMs") issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises or by an agency of the federal government. ~~Although~~As of September 30, 2023, the Company ~~continues to hold a small portion~~has fully disposed of ~~this portfolio it does not intend to do so long-term~~all of its ARM Agency Securities and ~~intends~~is continuing to reinvest the proceeds from ~~this portfolio~~the sale of these securities in its other businesses. The Company also owns real estate that was either acquired by the Company through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or that was purchased for investment, primarily subject to triple net leases.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

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

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of, and for the year ended December 31, 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.~~2023, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this report.

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.

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 sheets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. Our share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which was previously included as a component of Professional fees was reclassified to its own line item Share-based compensation on the consolidated statements of operations. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, $5.2 million related to the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs on the redemption of BSPRT 2018-FL4 during the second quarter of 2022 was reclassified from Interest Expense to Realized gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statement of cash flows, and ($4.0) thousand of Unrealized gain/(loss) on other real estate investments, measured at fair value and $33 thousand of ~~($4.0) thousand, was reclassified to Gain/(loss) on other real estate investments on the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2022,~~ Realized gain/(loss) on other real estate investments, measured at fair value ~~of $33 thousand was reclassified~~ were combined to be presented as a net result in Gain/(loss)on other real estate investments on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively was reclassified from Professional fees to Share-based compensation on the consolidated statements of operations.

~~Acquisition Expenses~~

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts deposited with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to an insurance limit. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at a limited number of banks and financial institutions, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates risk by investing in or through major financial institutions and primarily in funds that are currently U.S. federal government insured up to applicable account limits. Recoverability of investments is dependent upon the performance of the issuers. Cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.

~~Restricted Cash~~

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

~~Commercial Mortgage Loans~~

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

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

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

~~Real estate owned~~

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 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 capitalizes 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 June 30, 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:~~


~~Buildings~~			~~40 years~~
~~Furniture, fixtures, and equipment~~			~~15 years~~
~~Site Improvements~~			~~5 - 25 years~~
~~Intangible lease assets~~			~~Lease 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 be 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 assets 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 current 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 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.

The 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 the 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 commitments 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 is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist for multiple financial instruments. If similar risk characteristics do not exist, the Company measures the 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 Company’s assessment of the CECL allowance for loan losses. If the Company provides principal forgiveness, the amortized cost basis of the loan 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, using similar factors as those in developing the allowance for credit losses. This methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. Risk rating categories range from "1" to "5" with "1" representing the lowest risk of loss and "5" representing the highest risk of loss with the ratings updated quarterly. At the time of origination or purchase, loans held for investment are ranked as a “2” and will move accordingly going forward based on the ratings which are defined as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Changes in the 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 designated 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 securities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

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. Changes in market value are 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 security level using the same criteria described above for those amortized cost financial assets subject to a 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 geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors.

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

~~Trading~~

ARM Agency Securities are recorded at fair value and are classified as trading on the balance sheet with trading gains and losses due to fair value changes and sales of these securities recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company calculates trading gains and losses on the sales of ARM Agency Securities based on the specific identification method. Fair values fluctuate with current and projected changes in interest rates, prepayment expectations and other factors such as market liquidity conditions and the perceived credit quality of agency securities. Judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values, particularly in circumstances of deteriorating credit quality and market liquidity.

~~Repurchase Agreements~~

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

~~Deferred Financing Costs~~

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

~~Offering and Related Costs~~

Since 2018, the Company has from time to time offered, shares of the Company’s common stock or one or more series of its preferred stock, including its Series H convertible preferred stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) and former Series I convertible preferred stock (the “Series I Preferred Stock”) in private placements exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with these offerings, the Company incurred various offering costs. These offering costs include but are not limited to legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, and diligence expenses of broker-dealers. Offering costs for the common stock are recorded in the Company’s stockholders’ equity. Offering costs for the Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock were expensed to the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

~~Equity Incentive Plan~~

~~The~~ Company maintains the Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which the Company has granted and may in the future, from time to time, grant equity awards to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if it ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, or certain of the Company’s consultants, advisors or other service providers to the Company or an affiliate of the Company. The 2021 Incentive Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, provides for the grant of awards of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred share units, unrestricted shares, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares and other performance-based awards, other equity-based awards, long-term incentive plan units and cash bonus ~~awards.~~

~~In January 2022 and 2023, the Company issued under the 2021 Incentive Plan~~ ~~awards of restricted stock units ("RSUs") to its officers and certain other personnel of the Advisor who provide services to the Company.~~ These awards are service-based and vest in equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary of the date of grant over a period of three years, subject to continuing service. One share of the Company’s common stock is issued for each unit that vests. These awards also grant non-forfeitable dividend equivalent rights equal to the cash dividend paid in the ordinary course on a common share to the Company's common shareholders. Upon termination for any reason, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited by the grantee, who will be given no further rights to such RSUs. The fair value of the RSUs is expensed over the vesting period, which are included in Share-based compensation expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

~~Restricted Share Plan~~

The Company also had an Amended and Restated Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP"), which provided the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, the Advisor and its affiliates. ~~The RSP expired on February 7, 2023.~~

~~Distribution Reinvestment Plan~~

The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") pursuant to which stockholders may reinvest dividends into shares of common stock. Shares of common stock purchased through the DRIP for dividend reinvestments are supplied either directly by the Company as newly issued shares or via purchases by the DRIP administrator of shares of common stock on the open market, at the Company’s option. If the shares are purchased in the open market, the purchase price is the average price per share of shares purchased; if the shares are purchased directly from the Company, the purchase price is generally the average of the daily high and low sales prices for a share of common stock reported by the NYSE on the dividend payment date authorized by the Company’s board of directors. The Company may suspend, modify or terminate the DRIP at any time in its sole discretion.

~~Income Taxes~~

The Company has conducted its operations to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, if the Company meets certain organizational and operational requirements and distributes at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders in a year, it will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of the income that it distributes. However, even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on income in addition to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company, through its TRSs, is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. The Company’s TRSs are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes but are instead taxed as C corporations. For financial reporting purposes, the TRSs are consolidated and a provision for current and deferred taxes is established for the portion of earnings recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in its TRSs. Total (Provision)/benefit for income tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $(0.1) million and $0.6 million, respectively. Total (Provision)/benefit for income tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

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

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

~~Derivatives and Hedging Activities~~

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and may undertake a strategy to limit these risks through the use of derivatives. The Company uses derivatives primarily to economically hedge against interest rates, CMBS spreads and macro market risk in order to minimize volatility. The Company may use a variety of derivative instruments that are considered conventional, including but not limited to: Treasury note futures, 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 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 applicable to common stock for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares outstanding if potential shares of common stock with a dilutive effect have been issued in connection with the restricted stock plan or upon conversion of the outstanding shares of the Company’s ~~Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive.~~

~~Reportable Segments~~

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

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

•The real estate securities business focuses on investing in and asset managing real estate securities. This business has focused primarily on CMBS, CRE CLO bonds, CDO notes and other securities. As a result of the October 2021 acquisition of Capstead, the Company also holds a small portfolio of ARM Agency Securities. The Company has and intends to reinvest the cash and proceeds from dividends, interest, repayments and sales of our ARM Agency Securities into other segments and does not intend to continue to invest in ARM Agency Securities or RMBS in general.

•The commercial real estate conduit business in the Company's TRS, which is focused on generating risk-adjusted returns by originating and subsequently selling fixed-rate commercial real estate loans into the CMBS securitization market at a profit. The TRS may also hold certain mezzanine loans that don't qualify as good REIT assets due to any potential loss from foreclosure.

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

~~See Note 16 – Segment Reporting for further information regarding the Company's segments.~~

~~Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock~~

~~The Company’s outstanding classes of redeemable convertible preferred stock are classified outside of permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets.~~

~~Series H Preferred Stock~~

The Series H Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and on parity with the Series I Preferred Stock and the Company’s 7.50% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Stock") with respect to priority in dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. The liquidation preference of each share of Series H Preferred Stock is the greater of (i) $5,000 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and (ii) the amount that would be received upon a conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock into the Common Stock.

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

On January 19, 2023, the Series H Preferred Stock was amended such that the mandatory conversion date was extended by one year, to January 19, 2024. Unless earlier converted, the Series H Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock at a rate of 299.2 shares of common stock per share of Series H Preferred Stock (subject to adjustments as described in the Articles Supplementary for the Series H Preferred Stock) on January 19, 2024. The holder of the Series H Preferred Stock has the right to convert up to 4,487 shares of Series H Preferred Stock one time in each calendar month through December 2023, upon 10 business days’ advance notice to the Company.

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

~~Series I Preferred Stock~~

~~On January 19, 2023, all of the 1,000 outstanding shares of the Series I Preferred Stock converted by their terms into 299.2 shares of common stock per share of Series I Preferred Stock.~~

~~Perpetual Preferred Stock—Series E Preferred Stock~~

The Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. The Series E Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to the common stock and on a parity with the Series I Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock. The liquidation preference is $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends.

Holders of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by our board of directors and declared by the Company, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $1.875 per annum per share). Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.

Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared.

The Company may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. Upon a change of control of the Company, in the event the Company does not redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, a holder of Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to convert to Common Stock upon the terms set forth in the applicable Articles Supplementary.

~~The Series E Preferred Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FBRT PRE”.~~

The Company recorded an increase in its general provision for credit losses excluding the unfunded loan commitments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $10.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The primary driver for the higher reserve balance is the change in economic outlook since the end of the prior year offset slightly by the decrease in loan portfolio.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified a commercial mortgage loan, held for investment secured by 24 retail properties (the "Walgreens Portfolio"), that was assigned a risk rating of “5” due to certain conditions that negatively impacted the underlying collateral property’s cash flows. The loan was evaluated in accordance with ASC 310 - Receivables and was determined to be a TDR. ~~As of December 31, 2022, the specific allowance for current losses remaining was $14.2 million.~~ During the ~~six months ended June 30,~~first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an ~~additional~~ $0.8 million ~~to the~~ specific allowance for ~~current~~credit losses on the loan and ~~charged~~wrote off the remaining $15.1 million ~~which directly reduced~~specific allowance for credit losses for the ~~amortized cost basis~~Walgreens Portfolio, net of $0.7 million recoveries recorded. All remaining properties collateralized by the ~~loan. As~~senior mortgage notes were assumed by the Company through foreclosures and deeds-in-lieu of ~~December 31, 2022, ten retail properties~~foreclosure and correspondingly were ~~foreclosed upon~~transferred to Real estate owned, net of depreciation in the consolidated balance sheets. During the third quarter of 2023, the Walgreens Portfolio was actively marketed for sale and therefore, ~~transferred to real~~the Company classified the portfolio as Real estate owned, held for ~~investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the remaining 14 retail properties were transferred to real estate owned, held for investment as a result of foreclosures and deeds-in-lieu.~~sale. See Note 5 - Real Estate Owned.

(2) In February 2020, the Company originated a first mortgage loan secured by an office property in Portland, OR. In February 2023, the fully committed $37.3 million senior loan was restructured as a result of financial difficulty to a $25.0 million committed senior loan. In connection with the restructuring, the Company committed a $10.1 million mezzanine note. In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2022-02, ~~we classified~~ the restructuring was classified as a continuation of an existing loan on the senior loan and new loan for the mezzanine note. During the ~~three months ended June 30,~~second quarter of 2023, the Company assigned the senior and mezzanine notes a risk rating of "5" and placed the loan on cost recovery status. The Company elected to apply a practical expedient for collateral dependent assets in which the allowance for credit losses is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated cost to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. As a result, the Company recorded a specific allowance for credit losses of $11.9 million on this ~~loan.~~loan in the second quarter of 2023 and subsequently wrote off this specific allowance for credit losses in the same quarter. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company recorded ~~cost~~ recoveries of ~~$0.7~~$0.4 million and ~~charged off~~$1.1 million for the ~~specific allowance~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company foreclosed upon the mortgage notes through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The carrying value of the loan was $20.3 million. In connection therewith, the underlying collateral assets were reclassified to Real estate owned, net of depreciation in the consolidated balance sheets as a result of deed-in-lieu. The transfer was evaluated to be an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. See Note 5 - Real Estate Owned.

The Company recorded an increase in its general provision for credit losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of ~~$11.9~~$2.8 million ~~(comprised~~and $16.0 million, respectively.

Loan Credit Characteristics, Quality and Vintage

As part of the Company's process for monitoring the credit quality of its commercial mortgage loans, excluding those held for sale, measured at fair value, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its loans. The loans are scored on a scale of 1 to 5 as ~~described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.~~follows:


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

All commercial mortgage loans, excluding loans classified as commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value within the consolidated balance sheets, are assigned an initial risk rating of 2. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average risk rating of loans was 2.2 and 2.2, respectively.

Note 8 - Earnings Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. Net income/(loss) is allocated between our common stock and other participating securities based on their participation rights. Diluted net income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and other dilutive securities. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations and the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and ~~June 30,~~ 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 1312 - 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'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.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

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

CRE 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. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company obtains third party pricing for determining the fair value of each CRE CLO investment, resulting in a Level II classification.

~~Real estate securities classified as trading~~, RMBS, are measured at fair value by utilizing a third party pricing service to obtain a current estimated price of the securities. The third party pricing service utilizes relevant market information and interest rate movements and applies its internal pricing application to the evaluation to test against internal tolerances and parameters. The RMBS are classified in Level III of the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

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

The fair value for credit default swaps and interest rate swaps contracts are derived using pricing models that are widely accepted by marketplace participants. Credit default swaps and some interest rate swaps are traded in the over the counter ("OTC") market. The pricing models take into account multiple inputs including specific contract terms, interest rate yield curves, interest rates, credit curves, recovery rates, and/or current credit spreads obtained from swap counterparties and other market participants. Most inputs into the models are not subjective as they are observable in the marketplace or set per the contract. Valuation is primarily determined by the difference between the contract spread and the current market spread. The contract spread (or rate) is generally fixed and the market spread is determined by the credit risk of the underlying debt or reference entity. If the underlying indices are liquid and the OTC market for the current spread is active, credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. If the underlying indices are illiquid and the OTC market for the current spread is not active, credit default swaps are categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are generally categorized 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 ~~June~~September 30, 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.

The following table presents the Company's financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets by its level in the fair value hierarchy as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Real Estate Owned, held for sale, recorded in Real estate owned, held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets are valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820. Under ASC 820, the Company may utilize the income, market or cost approach (or combination thereof) to determine the fair value of real estate owned. The Company deems the inputs used in these approaches to be unobservable quantitative inputs. Therefore, the Company classifies the fair value of real estate owned, held for sale within Level II of the fair value hierarchy. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, ~~the Company~~we had ~~one office property located in St. Louis, MO~~assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets with aan aggregate fair value ~~less estimated costs to sell~~ of ~~$11.8 million.

(1) The carrying value is gross of ~~$38.9~~$37.5 million and $40.8 million of allowance for credit losses as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(2) Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs utilized in determining these fair values, our collateralized loan obligations are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the transfers from Level III to Level II were a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by third party pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilized observable inputs.

Repurchase agreements - commercial mortgage loans of ~~$695.0~~$249.3 million and $680.9 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and repurchase agreements - real estate securities of ~~$290.0~~$240.0 million and $440.0 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are not carried at fair value and does not include accrued interest expense, which are presented in Note 7 – Debt. For these instruments, carrying value generally approximates fair value and are classified as Level III.

The fair value of the commercial mortgage loans, held for investment is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Advisor's experience with similar types of investments. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateralized loan obligations using external broker quotes. The Mortgage note payable was recorded at transaction proceeds, which are considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value. The fair value of the ~~other financing and loan participation-commercial mortgage loans~~Other financings is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the ~~unsecured~~Unsecured debt is based on discounted cash flows using Company estimates for market yields on similarly structured debt instruments.

Note 1413 - Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments primarily to manage the fair value variability of fixed rate assets caused by interest rate fluctuations and overall portfolio market risk.

Interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level II Inputs in accordance with ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). In determining fair value estimates for swaps, the Company utilizes the standard methodology of netting the 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.

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 make 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. 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 in 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 ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(1)For a discussion of risk ratings, see Note 3 - Commercial Mortgage Loans in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

(2) Date loan was originated or acquired by us. The origination or acquisition date is not updated for subsequent loan modifications.

(3) Fully extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loans may be repaid prior to such date.

(4) 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”). 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.

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) interpreted this announcement to constitute a benchmark transition event. The benchmark index of LIBOR interest rate will convert from LIBOR to compounded SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment of 11.448 basis points.

Repurchase Agreements and Revolving Credit Facilities ~~Commercial Mortgage Loans~~

~~The Company has entered into repurchase facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "JPM~~ ("Repo Facility"), Barclays Bank PLC (the "Barclays Revolver Facility" and the "Barclays Repo Facility"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "WF Repo Facility"), and Atlas SP Partners (the "Atlas Repo Facility" and together with JPM Repo Facility, WF Repo Facility, Barclays Revolver Facility, and Barclays Repo Facility, collectively, the "Repo and Revolving Credit Facilities").

The Repo and Revolving Credit Facilities are financing sources through which the Company may pledge one or more mortgage loans to the financing entity in exchange for funds typically at an advance rate of between ~~65%~~60% to 75% of the principal amount of the mortgage loan being pledged.

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

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

~~Repurchase Agreements - Real Estate Securities~~

The Company has entered into various Master Repurchase Agreements (the "MRAs") that allow the Company to sell real estate securities while providing a fixed repurchase price for the same real estate securities in the future. The repurchase contracts on each security under an MRA generally mature in 30-90 days and terms are adjusted for current market rates as necessary. These agreements are floating rate at SOFR or LIBOR plus an applicable spread.

~~Below is a summary of the Company's MRAs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):~~

~~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 collateral type and remaining maturities, and related weighted average borrowing rates as of the indicated dates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Average repurchase agreements outstanding were $117.2 million and $220.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Average repurchase agreements outstanding differed from respective quarter-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 $1.74 million and $3.78 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 June 30, 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 Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, if we meet certain organizational and operational requirements and distribute at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders in a year, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of the income that we distribute.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and ARMs, including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) subordinated performance fee accruals/(reversal), (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment and CLO calls, and (viii) certain other non-cash ~~items, and (ix) impairments of acquisition assets related to the Capstead merger.~~items. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ARMs.

The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing 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 certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the 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 Mortgage Corporation, which the Company ~~is actively in the process of liquidating~~has liquidated from its portfolio.

Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (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. We do not have any foreign denominated investments, and thus, we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our portfolio included ~~152~~145 and 157 variable rate investments, respectively, based on LIBOR and SOFR (or "indexing rates") for various terms. As of June 2023, the Company has fully transitioned all loans on LIBOR indexing rates to SOFR indexing rates. Borrowings under our financing arrangements are based on SOFR. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase by 50 or 100 basis points or decrease by 25 basis points, assuming that our current balance sheet was to remain constant, and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. The changes in the portfolio for each basis points increase/decrease is a change from the base scenario.

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, national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; and demographic factors. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As described in more ~~particularly described under~~detail in Part I, Item ~~3. Legal Proceedings~~3, "Legal Proceedings" in ~~our~~the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the sponsor’s fraud and default under the loan the Company foreclosed on all of the Collateral Properties in 2022 and 2023. The Company is marketing the Collateral Properties for sale and is actively pursuing its civil remedies. Note that the collectability, if any, ~~of amounts~~ of legal judgments we have achieved to date and that we may achieve in the future is not currently determinable.

Williamsburg Hotel Bankruptcy Case

The sale of the Williamsburg Hotel, the Company’s Brooklyn hotel asset, by a trustee appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, was completed on April 18, 2023, after an extensive marketing process, pursuant to the Chapter 11 plan inIn re 96 Wythe Acquisition LLC, Case No. ~~21-22108~~.21-22108. The sale closed for a total sale price of $96 million, comprising cash and new indebtedness. As a result of the sale, the Company recovered the full principal amount of its loan (equal to the carrying cost of the loan as of December 31, 2022) and approximately $20 million of additional proceeds after the payment of all related closing expenses. ~~The~~Note that the Company may elect to pursue additional remedies available under the loan documents.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes from these risk factors.
