Note 1. Business
 
Terra Secured Income Fund 5, LLC (and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a real estate credit focused company that originates, structures, funds and manages high yielding commercial real estate investments, including mezzanine loans, first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans and preferred equity investments throughout the United States.

The Company focuses on the origination of middle market loans in the approximately $10 million to $50 million range, to finance properties in primary and secondary markets. The Company believes loans of this size are subject to less competition, offer higher risk adjusted returns than larger loans with similar risk metrics and facilitate portfolio diversification. The Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on April 24, 2013 and commenced operations on August 8, 2013. The Company was formed to originate, acquire and structure real estate-related loans, including mezzanine loans, first and second mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, bridge loans, preferred equity investments and other loans related to high quality commercial real estate. The Company completed its original offering on January 31, 2015 and raised approximately $142 million in gross proceeds. The Company’s investment strategy is to investmakes substantially all of its investments and conducts substantially all of its real estate lending business through Terra Property Trust, which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s objectives are to (i) preserve its members’ capital contributions, (ii) realize income from its investments and (iii) make monthly distributions to its members from cash generated from investments. There can be no assurances that the net proceeds of membership interestsCompany will be successful in and manage a diverse portfolio of, real estate-related loans. The Company seeks to create and maintain a portfolio of investments that generates a low volatility income stream for attractive and consistent cash distributions. The real-estate loans are typically investments between $3 million and $25 million, with unlevered yields on subordinated positions and levered yields on senior positions ranging from 12% to 16% and maturities between one to ten years.meeting its objectives.

In December 2015, the members approved the merger of Terra Secured Income Fund, 1, LLC (“Terra Fund 1”), Terra Secured Income Fund 2, LLC (“Terra Fund 2”), Terra Secured Income Fund 3, LLC (“Terra Fund 3”) and Terra Secured Income Fund 4, LLC (“Terra Fund 4”) with and into subsidiaries of the Company (individually, each a “Terra Fund” and collectively, the “Terra Funds”) through a series of separate mergers effective January 1, 2016.2016 (collectively, the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the Company contributed the consolidated portfolio of net assets of the five Terra Funds to Terra Property Trust, a newly-formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”),REIT, in exchange for the shares of common sharesstock of Terra Property Trust. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became the parent company of Terra Funds 1 through 4 and the direct and indirect sole common stockholder of, and began conducting substantially all of its real estate lending business through, Terra Property Trust. As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned 14,912,990 shares, or 98.6%, of Terra Property Trust’s outstanding common stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of gains (losses), income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments.



its investment (Note 314).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Equity Investment in Terra Property Trust

Equity investment in Terra Property Trust represents the Company’s equity interest in Terra Property Trust, which was initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to the asset contribution, the equity investment is reported, at each reporting date, at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Change in fair value is reported in net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment on the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is accounted for under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, which provides among other things that revenue be recognized when there is persuasive evidence an arrangement exists, delivery and services have been rendered, price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Dividend Income: Dividend income associated with the Company’s ownership of Terra Property Trust is recognized on the record date as declared by Terra Property Trust. Any excess of dividends over Terra Property Trust’s cumulative net income are recorded as return of capital.

Other Operating Income: All other income is recognized when earned.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of ninety days or less when purchased, as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains all of its cash at financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
Income Taxes

No provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as individual members are responsible for their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. The Company, however, may be liable for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (the “NYC UBT”) and similar taxes of various other municipalities. New York City imposes the NYC UBT at a statutory rate of 4% on net income generated from ordinary business activities carried on in New York City. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, none of the Company’s income was subject to the NYC UBT.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities were not material.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, its primary tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company’s inception-to-date2015-2019 federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsPronouncement
    
In May 2014,February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 but does not currently believe that the application of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 retains many current requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments; however, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for

financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU 2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018. Management is currently
evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model under ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”), with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existingthe sale-leaseback guidance under ASC 840 with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 iswas effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application will be permitted for all entities.

The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method.amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-152018-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In October 2016,August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new rules and amended rules (together, “final rules”a final rule that eliminates or amends disclosure requirements that have become duplicative, overlapping, or outdated in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment (the “Final Rule”). The Final Rule is intended to modernizesimplify and update the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part,to investors and reduce compliance burdens for companies, without significantly altering the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivativestotal mix of information available to investors. Among other items, the Final Rule requires registrants to include in investment companytheir interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in net assets or stockholders’ equity in the notes or as well as other amendments.a separate statement. The Final Rule was effective for all filings made on or after November 5, 2018; however, the SEC would not object if a filer’s first presentation of the changes in net assets or stockholders' equity was included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the effective date of the Final Rule. The Company adopted the amendments to Regulation S-X on August 1, 2017.Final Rule in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of the Final Rule did not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 intends to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a “set,” that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this change will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and
disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the inputs as follows:

        Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

        Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

        Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Company’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. Fair value for these investments are determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment.
       
     In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

In following this methodology, investmentsloans are evaluated individually, and management takes into account, in determining the risk-adjusted discount rate for each of the Company’s investments,Terra Property Trust’s loans, relevant factors, including available current market data on applicable yields of comparable debt/preferred equity instruments; market credit spreads and yield curves; the investment’s yield; covenants of the investment, including prepayment provisions,provisions; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its net operating income, debt-service coverage ratio (“DSCR”),ratio; construction progress reports and construction budget analysis; the nature, quality, and realizable value of any collateral (and loan-to-value ratio); and the forces that influence the local markets in which the asset (the collateral) is purchased and sold, such as capitalization rates, occupancy rates, rental rates, replacement costs and the anticipated duration of each real estate-related loan investment.loan.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s investment in Terra Property Trust is highly illiquid and there is no assurance that the Company will achieve its investment objectives, including targeted returns. Terra Property Trust’s loans are highly illiquid. Due to the illiquidity of the loans, valuation of the loans may be difficult, as there generally will be no established markets for these loans. As the Company’s investment is carried at fair value with fair value changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, any changes in fair value would directly affect the Company’s members’ capital.

Note 5. Significant Risk FactorsTerra International 3

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions in various financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments are subject to, but are not limited to, the following risks:

Market Risk

The Company’s loans throughOn September 30, 2019, Terra Property Trust are highly illiquidentered into a Contribution and there is no assurance that the Company will achieve its investment objectives, including targeted returns. DueRepurchase Agreement with Terra International Fund 3, L.P. (“Terra International 3”) and Terra International Fund 3 REIT, LLC (“Terra International Fund 3 REIT”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Terra International 3.

Pursuant to the illiquidity of the loans, valuation of the loans may be difficult, as there generally will be no established markets for these loans. As the Company’s loans were carried at fair value with fair value changes recognizedthis agreement, Terra International 3, through Terra International Fund 3 REIT, contributed cash in the consolidated statementsamount of operations, all changes in market conditions would directly affect the Company’s members’ capital.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that$3.6 million to Terra Property Trust would incur if the borrowers failedin exchange for 212,691 shares of common stock, at a price of $17.02 per share. In addition, Terra International 3 agreed to perform pursuant to the terms of their obligationscontribute to Terra Property Trust. Thus, the value of the underlying collateral, the creditworthiness of the borrower or other counterparty,Trust future cash proceeds, if any, raised from time to time by it, and the priority of Terra Property Trust’s lien on the borrower’s assets are of importance. Terra Property Trust minimizes its exposureagreed to credit risk by limiting exposureissue shares of common stock to International Fund 3 in exchange for any one individual borrowersuch future cash proceeds, in each case pursuant to and any one asset class. Additionally, Terra Property Trust employs an asset management approachin accordance with the terms and monitorsconditions specified in the portfolioagreement. The shares were issued in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of loans, through, at a minimum, quarterly financial reviewthe Securities Act of property performance including net operating income, loan-to-value ratio, DSCR1933, as amended, and the debt yield. Terra Property Trust also requires certain borrowers to establish a cash reserve, as a form of additional collateral, for the purpose of providing for future interest or property-related operating payments.

Mezzanine loansrules and preferred equity investments are subordinate to senior mortgage loans and, therefore, involve a higher degree of risk. In the event of a default, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments will be satisfied only after the senior lender’s investment is fully recovered. As a result, in the event of a default, Terra Property Trust may not recover all of its investment.

The Company maintains all of its cash at financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Concentration Riskregulations promulgated thereunder.

Terra Property Trust holds real estate related loans. Thus,REIT Advisors also serves as adviser to the loan portfolioTerra International 3 and Terra International Fund 3 REIT. In addition, the general partner of Terra Property Trust may be subject to a more rapid change in value than would be the case ifInternational 3 is Terra Property Trust maintained a wide diversification among industries, companies and types of loans. The result of such concentration in real estate assetsInternational Fund 3 GP, LLC, which is that a loss in such loans could materially reduce Terra Property Trust’s capital.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk represents the possibility that the Company may not be able to sell its positions at a reasonable price in times of low trading volume, high volatility and financial stress.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk represents the effect from a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair valueaffiliate of Terra Property Trust’s interest-bearing financial instruments.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayments can either positively or adversely affect the yields on loans. Prepayments on debt instruments, where permitted under the debt documents, are influenced by changes in current interest rates and a variety of economic, geographic and other factors beyond Terra Property Trust’s control, and consequently, such prepayment rates cannot be predicted with certainty. If Terra Property Trust does not collect a prepayment fee in connection with a prepayment or is unable to invest the proceeds of such prepayments received, the yield on the portfolio will decline. In addition, Terra Property Trust may acquire assets at a discount or premium and if the asset does not repay when expected, the anticipated yield may be impacted. Under certain interest rate and prepayment scenarios, Terra Property Trust may fail to recoup fully its cost of acquisition of certain loans.

Use of Leverage

As part of Terra Property Trust’s investment strategy, Terra Property Trust may borrow and utilize leverage. While borrowing and leverage present opportunities for increasing total return, they may have the effect of potentially creating or increasing losses.

Property Acquisitions

Terra Property Trust may find it necessary to take possession of collateral including, without limitation, an asset or a business, through a purchase or foreclosure action. Borrowers may resist mortgage foreclosure or sales actions by asserting numerous claims and defenses, which delay both repayments of existing loan investments and acquisition of the collateral and add cost to such actions.

There can be no assurance that Terra Property Trust will be able to successfully operate, hold or maintain the collateral in accordance with its expectations.

Further, there can be no assurance that there will be a ready market for resale of foreclosed or acquired properties because investments in real estate generally are not liquid and holding periods are difficult to predict. In addition, there may be significant expenditures associated with holding real property, including real estate taxes and maintenance costs. The liquidation proceeds upon sale of the real estate may be less than the amount invested in the loan, and its fair value and such differences could be material.Fund Advisors, our manager.

Note 6.5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. The Manager has reviewed the Company’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to the Company to be remote.

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Company’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Company. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

We also originate first mortgage loans, bridgesubordinated mortgage loans and preferred equity investments in each case tothroughout the United States. Our loans finance the acquisition, construction, development or redevelopment of high quality commercial real estate in the U.S.United States. We focus on the origination of middle market loans in the approximately $10 million to $50 million range, to finance properties in primary and secondary markets. We believe loans of this size are subject to less competition, offer higher risk adjusted returns than larger loans with similar risk metrics and facilitate portfolio diversification. We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on April 24, 2013 and commenced operations on August 8, 2013. We make substantially all of our investments and conduct substantially all of our real estate lending business through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Terra Property Trust.Trust, which has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. Our objective isobjectives are to continue(i) preserve our members’ capital contributions, (ii) realize income from our investments and (iii) make monthly distributions to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns toour members primarily through distributions.from cash generated from investments. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in meeting our objective.objectives.

Following the Merger, we contributed the consolidated portfolio of net assets of the Terra Funds to Terra Property Trust in exchange for all of the common shares of Terra Property Trust. We elected to engage in these transactions, which we refer to continueas the “REIT formation transactions,” to make our business as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes,investments through Terra Property Trust and to provide our members with a more broadly diversified portfolio of assets, while at the same time providing us with enhanced access to capital and borrowings, lower operating costs and enhanced opportunities for growth.

Factors Impacting Operating Results

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors and primarily depend on, among other things, the level of the interest income generated by Terra Property Trust from targeted assets, the market value of our assets, and the supply of, and demand for, real estate-related loans, including mezzanine loans, first and second mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, bridge loans, preferred equity investments and other loans related to high quality commercial real estate in the United States, and the financing and other costs associated with our business. Interest income and borrowing costs of Terra Property Trust may vary as a result of changes in interest rates, which could impact the net interest we receive on our assets. Our operating results may also be impacted by conditions in the financial markets and unanticipated credit events experienced by borrowers under our loan assets.

Market Risk

Terra Property Trust’s loans are highly illiquid and there is no assurance that it will achieve its investment objectives, including targeted returns. Due to the illiquidity of the loans, valuation of Terra Property Trust’s loans may be difficult, as there generally will be no established markets for these loans.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the potential loss that Terra Property Trust would incur if the borrowers failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their obligations to Terra Property Trust. Terra Property Trust minimizes itsmanages exposure to credit risk by limiting exposure to any one individual borrower and any one asset class. Additionally, Terra Property Trust employs an asset management approach and monitormonitors the portfolio of loans, through, at a minimum, quarterly financial review of property performance including net operating income, loan-to-value ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and the debt yield. Terra Property Trust also requires certain borrowers to establish a cash reserve, as a form of additional collateral, for the purpose of providing for future interest or property-related operating payments.


28




The performance and value of Terra Property Trust’s loans depend upon the sponsors’ ability to operate or manage the development of the respective properties that serve as collateral so that each property’s value ultimately supports the repayment of the loan balance. Mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments are subordinate to senior mortgage loans and, therefore, involve a higher degree of risk. In the event of a default, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments will be satisfied only after the senior lender’s investment is fully recovered. As a result, in the event of a default, Terra Property Trust may not recover all of its investments.

In addition, Terra Property Trust is exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates, and other macroeconomic factors beyond its control. Terra Property Trust seeks to manage these risks through its underwriting and asset management processes.
We and Terra Property Trust maintain all of our cash at financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Concentration Risk

Terra Property Trust holds real estate-related loans. Thus, its loan portfolio may be subject to a more rapid change in value than would be the case if it were required to maintain a wide diversification among industries, companies and types of loans. The result of such concentration in real estate assets is that a loss in such loans could materially reduce Terra Property Trust’s capital.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to sell our positionsequity interest in Terra Property Trust at a reasonable price in times of low trading volume, high volatility and financial stress.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk represents the effect from a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of our interest-bearing financial instruments. With respect to Terra Property Trust’s business operations, increases in interest rates, in general, may over time cause: (i) the interest expense associated with variable rate borrowings to increase; (ii) the value of real estate-related loans to decline; (iii) coupons on variable rate loans to reset, although on a delayed basis, to higher interest rates; (iv) to the extent applicable under the terms of Terra Property Trust’s investments, prepayments on real estate-related loans to

25




slow, and (v) to the extent we enter into interest rate swap agreements as part of Terra Property Trust’s hedging strategy, the value of these agreements to increase. Conversely, decreases in interest rates, in general, may over time cause: (i) the interest expense associated with variable rate borrowings to decrease; (ii) the value of real estate-related loans to increase; (iii) coupons on variable rate real estate-related loans to reset, although on a delayed basis, to lower interest rates (iv) to the extent applicable under the terms of Terra Property Trust’s investments, prepayments on real estate-related loans to increase, and (v) to the extent Terra Property Trust enters into interest rate swap agreements as part of its hedging strategy, the value of these agreements to decrease.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayments can either positively or adversely affect the yields on Terra Property Trust’s loans. Prepayments on debt instruments, where permitted under the debt documents, are influenced by changes in current interest rates and a variety of economic, geographic and other factors beyond our control, and consequently, such prepayment rates cannot be predicted with certainty. If Terra Property Trust does not collect a prepayment fee in connection with a prepayment or are unable to invest the proceeds of such prepayments received, the yield on the portfolio will decline. In addition, Terra Property Trust may acquire assets at a discount or premium and if the asset does not repay when expected, the anticipated yield may be impacted. Under certain interest rate and prepayment scenarios Terra Property Trust may fail to recoup fully its cost of acquisition of certain loans.

Extension Risk

Extension risk is the risk that Terra Property Trust’s assets will be repaid at a slower rate than anticipated and generally increases when interest rates rise. In which case, to the extent Terra Property Trust has financed the acquisition of an asset, Terra Property Trust may have to finance its asset at potentially higher costs without the ability to reinvest principal into higher yielding securities because borrowers prepay their mortgages at a slower pace than originally expected, adversely impacting its net interest spread, and thus its net interest income.

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial and residential 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; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; and retroactive changes to building or similar codes. 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 Terra Property Trust to suffer losses.

Use of Leverage

Terra Property Trust may deploydeploys moderate amounts of leverage as part of ourits operating strategy, which may consist of borrowings under first mortgage financings, warehouse facilities, repurchase agreements and other credit facilities. While borrowing and leverage present opportunities for increasing total return, they may have the effect of potentially creating or increasing losses.

Dividend Income

Dividend income associated with our ownership of Terra Property Trust represents Terra Property Trust’s net income for the period. Any excess of distributions received from Terra Property Trust over its net income is recorded as return of capital.

For the three months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, we received distributions of $13.1$7.6 million and $9.6$8.1 million, respectively, or $0.88$0.51 and $0.65$0.54 per share, respectively, from Terra Property Trust, of which $4.4$3.0 million and $9.6$5.5 million was recorded as dividend income, respectively, representing Terra Property Trust’s net income for the periods presented, and $8.7$4.6 million and none$2.6 million was recorded as return of capital, respectively. The $5.4 million decrease in Terra Property Trust’s net income was primarily due to (i) $3.6 million of prepayment fee income received from one loan during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as the borrower repaid the loan two years before the scheduled maturity date; (ii) a decrease in net interest income of 0.8 million as a result of lower weighted average principal balance and lower weighted average coupon rate; and (iii) operating income of $0.5 million for three months ended September 30, 2016 from Terra Park Green Members, LLC (“Terra Park Green”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Terra Property Trust that owned two commercial office building parks and the related operations, which was subsequently sold in November 2016. The $8.7 million increase in return of capital was primarily due to the decrease in Terra Property Trust’s net income as well as additional cash needed to redeem Terra Fund 3’s Termination Units.

For the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, we received distributions of $29.7$22.8 million and $25.4$24.9 million, respectively, or $1.99$1.53 and $1.71$1.67 per share, respectively, from Terra Property Trust, of which $15.7$6.9 million and $25.0$17.8 million was recorded as dividend income, respectively, representing Terra Property Trust’s net income for the periods presented, and $14.0$15.8 million and $0.3$7.1 million was recorded as return of capital, respectively. The $9.3 million decrease in Terra Property Trust’s net income was primarily due to (i) $3.6 million of prepayment fee income received from one loan during

For the three months ended September 30, 20162019 as compared to the borrower repaid the loan two years before the scheduled maturity date; (ii)same period in 2018, Terra Property Trust’s net income decreased by $2.3 million, primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in net interest income of 3.7 million as a result of lowera decrease in the weighted average outstanding principal balance lowerof net investments resulting from a higher volume of loan repayments than new loan originations and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on net investments driven by new loan originations having lower coupon raterates than those of the loans that were repaid, and the suspension of $1.2a $0.5 million of net interest income accrual on two loans as discusseddecrease in Annualized Net Effective Yield” below; and (iii) operating income of $1.5 million forprepayment fee received.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from Terra Park Green which was subsequently sold in November 2016. The $13.7 million increase in return of capital was primarily due2019 as compared to the decreasesame period in 2018, Terra Property Trust’s net income decreased by $10.9 million, primarily due to (i) a $3.7 million decrease in net interest income as wella result of a decrease in the weighted average outstanding principal balance of net investments resulting from a higher volume of loan repayments than new loan originations and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on net investments driven by new loan originations having lower coupon rates than those of the loans that were repaid; and (ii) $2.4 million of professional fees directly incurred, and which were previously deferred, in contemplation of Terra Property Trust consummating an initial public offering which, in the second quarter of 2019, management decided to postpone indefinitely. Terra Property Trust’s net income also decreased as additional cash neededa result of a $2.2 million decrease in prepayment fee received and an $1.6 million impairment charge recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on a piece of land in order to redeem Terra Fund 3’s Termination Units.

(1)RepresentsAmount is calculated based on the number of days each loan is outstanding.
(2)Amount is calculated based on the underlying principal amount of each loan.
(3)The weighted average coupon rate represents net interest income over the period calculated using the weighted average coupon rate and weighted average principal amount shown on the table (interest income on the loans less interest expense) divided by the weighted average principal amount of the net loans during the period.
(4)Subordinated loans include mezzanine loans, preferred equity investments and credit facilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 as compared to the same periods in 2016,2018, the decrease in weighted average coupon rate was due to an increase in investments in senior loans, which are typically larger principal-balance loans paying lower levels of interest reflecting the lower perceived risk due to their senior position in the borrower's capital structure as compared to investments in subordinated loans, as well as the new subordinated loans we originated and purchased during the current periods have coupon rates that are lower than those of the maturing subordinated loans.

(1)The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in weighted average coupon rate (see “Net Loan Portfolio” above).
(2)The increase was primarily due to a decrease in amortization of net purchase premium as a result of the majority of the net purchase premium recognized in connection with the Merger in 2016 became substantially amortized.
(3)During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Terra Property Trust did not receive interest income payment of $1.2 million, net of interest expense on obligations under participation agreements, on a senior loan and a subordinated loan. In July 2017, the principal balances of these two loans were repaid in full.

Professional Fees

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016, professional fees decreased by $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily due to professional fees incurred in 2016 related to the additional SEC financial statement audit and reporting requirements in relation to the initial filinga higher volume of our registration statement on Form 10.loan originations with lower coupon rates.

Merger Transaction Fees

Merger transaction fees represent fees incurred in connection with the Merger. Terra Capital Markets, LLC, an affiliate of our Manager, served as the dealer manager for the consent solicitation and was paid a voting advisory fee of $750 per initial unit sold to members of the Terra Funds and a dealer manager fee of 0.5% of the aggregate offering price of the units originally issued by the Terra Funds. Most of these fees were re-allowed to participating dealers. The Terra Funds also incurred costs for legal, accounting, and other professional services in connection with the consent solicitation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the three months ended September 30, 2016, there were no merger transaction fees recorded. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded additional merger transaction fees of $0.4 million.
Net Change in Unrealized DepreciationAppreciation (Depreciation) on Investment

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment reflects the change in Terra Property Trust’s net loan portfoliofair value during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses, when gains or losses are realized.period. There may be fluctuations in unrealized gains and losses of the underlying portfolio as loans within the portfolio approach their respective maturity dates and fair value premiums are amortized or discounts are accreted to each loan’s respective collectible value.dates. In addition, the unrealized gains or losses in the portfolio may fluctuate over time due to changes in the market yields or carrying value adjustments such as the amortization or accretion of premiums, discounts, origination fees, and exit fees.yields.

20172019For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, we recorded a decreasean increase in unrealized depreciationappreciation on investmentinvestments of $0.4$1.7 million and $0.9$4.9 million, respectively, primarily due toas the amortization of a substantial portion of the net purchase premiums recognized in connection with the Merger in 2016, which reduced the carryingfair value of the loans.   Company’s investment in Terra Property Trust went up as a result of higher fair values of the underlying loans and assets.

20162018For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2018, we recorded an increasea decrease in the unrealized depreciationappreciation on investment of $0.7$0.2 million and $1.4$0.4 million, respectively, primarily due to amortization of fair value premiums on loans within the portfolio as they neared their respective maturity dates, which reduced the fair value of the loans.Company’s investment in Terra Property Trust decline at slightly less than the cost primarily due to higher discount rates applied to certain of the underlying loans during the periods.

Net Increase in Members’ Capital Resulting from Operations

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 as compared to the same periods in 2016,2018, the resulting net increase in members’ capital results from operations decreased by $4.1$0.7 million and $6.5$5.8 million, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including funding and maintaining our assets and operations, making distributions to our members and other general business needs. Our primary cash requirements for the next twelve months are making the discretionary recurring distributions to our members and, to a lesser extent, redeeming Terra Fund 4 Termination Units for approximately $2.1 million. “Termination Units” refer to the membership interest in our fund that were issued to members of Terra Funds 1 through 4 who chose to enter the liquidation phase of their investments.members. We expect to use cash distributions received from Terra Property Trust to meet such cash requirements. Terra Property Trust’s expected loan and liability maturities during the next twelve months include the sole mortgage loan payable with a principal amount of $34.0 million which matures in March 2018, assuming no extensions, and obligations under participation agreements totaling $43.6 million. The first mortgage loan held by Terra Property Trust has a coupon rate of LIBOR plus 8.5%,$22.1 million will mature in the borrowings under the mortgage loan incurred to finance the asset bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 5.25%, and the weighted average net interest spread

between the yield on the first mortgage loan and the cost of funds under the mortgage loan payable was 2.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.next twelve months. Terra Property Trust expects to use the proceeds from the repayment of the corresponding investments to repay the mortgage loan payable and participation obligations. Additionally, Terra Property Trust expects to fund approximately $27.4$83.7 million of the unfunded commitments to borrowers during the next twelve months. Terra Property Trust expects to maintain sufficient cash on hand to fund such commitmentcommitments through matching these commitments with principal repayments on outstanding loans. In addition, Terra Property Trust may also issue additional equity, equity-related and debt securities to fund its investment strategies. Terra Property Trust may issue these securities to unaffiliated third parties or to vehicles advised by affiliates of Terra Capital Partners or third parties. As part of its capital raising transactions, Terra Property Trust may grant to one or more of these vehicles certain control rights over its activities including rights to approve major decisions it takes as part of its business.

On December 12, 2018, Terra Property Trust entered into a master repurchase agreement that provides for advances of up to $150 million in the aggregate, which Terra Property Trust expects to use to finance certain secured performing commercial real estate loans, including senior mortgage loans. Advances under the master repurchase agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the 30-day LIBOR and (ii) the applicable spread, which ranges from 2.25% to 3.00%, and have a maturity date of December 12, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the master repurchase agreement was approximately 4.5%, calculated using the 30-day LIBOR of 2.02% as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the amount remaining available under the repurchase agreement was $98.7 million.
 
On June 20, 2019, Terra Property Trust entered into a credit agreement that provides for revolving credit loans of up to $35.0 million in the aggregate, which Terra Property Trust expects to use solely for short term financing needed to bridge the timing of anticipated loans repayments and funding obligations. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility can be either prime rate

29




loans or LIBOR rate loans and accrue interest at an annual rate of prime rate plus 1% or LIBOR plus 4% with a floor of 6%. The credit facility matures on June 20, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the amount remaining available under the credit facility was $35.0 million.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

20172019For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, cash flows provided by operating activities were $28.5$22.4 million, primarily due to $29.7$22.8 million of dividends received from Terra Property Trust, of which $14.0$15.8 million was recorded as a return of capital.

20162018 For the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2018, cash flows provided by operating activities were $2.7$24.6 million, primarily due to $25.4$24.9 million of dividends received from Terra Property Trust, of which $0.3$7.1 million was recorded as a return of capital, partially offset by (i) $10.0 million used to purchase shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust; (ii) the payment of $5.3 million related to merger transaction fees that were accrued; (iii) $5.0 million of cash transferred to Terra Property Trust in connection with the Merger; (iv) $0.7 million reimbursed to the Manager for merger transaction fees paid; and (v) a $0.6 million of state and local tax paid in connection with the filing of the 2015 tax returns.capital.

These cash outflows were partially offset by $25.6 million of proceeds from capital contributions from the offering concurrent with the Merger, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and cash of $3.5 million acquired in the Merger.3.6 continuing income units.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has utilized available information, including 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. As we execute our expected operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future consolidated financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Terra Property Trust’s investments are typically collateralized by either the sponsors’ equity interest in real estate properties or real estate properties. As a result, Terra Property Trust regularly evaluates the extent and impact of any credit migration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor on a loan by loan basis. The Manager employs an asset management approach and monitors the portfolio of investments, through, at a minimum, quarterly financial review of property performance including net operating income, loan-to-value, debt-service coverage ratio and the debt yield, supplemented by occasional site visits to evaluate the assets. The Manager also requires certain borrowers to establish a cash reserve, as a form of additional collateral, for the purpose of providing for future interest or property-related operating payments. The information gathered by way of the asset management process is sufficient in assessing collectability.



34



Using the information gathered by way of the asset management process, the Manager performs a quarterly, or more frequently as needed, review of Terra Property Trust’s portfolio of investments. In conjunction with this review, the Manager assesses the risk factors of each investment and assigns each investment a risk rating. Based on a 5-point scale, Terra Property Trust’s investments are rated “1” through “5”, from less risk to greater risk. For investments with a risk rating of “4” and “5”, the Manager assesses each investment for collectability. This includes the ability to realize the full amount of principal and interest in the event that Terra Property Trust needs to exercise its rights under the terms of the agreement and/or any other contemplated workout or modification. To the extent the net realizable amount analysis indicates the principal amount of the recorded investment as of the reporting date is in jeopardy, an appropriate allowance for loan losses will be recorded. Additionally, Terra Property Trust records a general allowance for loan losses equal to 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount of loans rated as a “4” and 5% of the aggregate principal amount of loans rated as a “5”. Loans on which a specific allowance is recorded are removed from the pool of loans on which a general allowance is calculated.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instrumentsour investment is categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Our financial assets and liabilities wereinvestment was recorded at fair value on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and were categorized based on the inputs valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1. Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets.

Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for

30




substantially full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Any changes to the valuation methodology will be reviewed by management to ensure the changes are appropriate. As markets and products develop and the pricing for certain products becomes more transparent, we will continue to refine our valuation methodologies. The methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we anticipate that our valuation methods will be appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. We will use inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocation, during which price transparency may be reduced.

Income Taxes

No provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as individual members are responsible for their proportionate share of our taxable income. We, however, may be liable for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (the “NYC UBT”) and similar taxes of various other municipalities. New York City imposes the NYC UBT at a statutory rate of 4% on net income generated from ordinary business activities carried on in New York City. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, none of our income was subject to the NYC UBT.



35



We did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did we have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, we did not incur any interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. Our inception-to-date2015-2019 federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(1)In the normal course of business, Terra Property Trust enters into participation agreements with related parties whereby it transfers a portion of the loans to them. These loan participations do not qualify for sale treatment. As such, the loans remain on its consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are recorded as obligations under participation agreements. Similarly, interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within “Interest income” and the interest related to the participation interest is recorded within “Interest expense from obligations under participation agreements” in the consolidated statements of operations. Terra Property Trust has no direct liability to a participant under our participation agreements with respect to the underlying loan, and the participants’ share of the loan is repayable only from the proceeds received from the related borrower/issuer of the loans.
(2)Terra Property Trust has an option to extend the maturity of the loan by two years subject to certain conditions provided in the loan agreement. Amount excludes unamortized origination and exit fees of $73,036.

Management Agreement with Terra REIT Advisors

As part of the Axar Transaction, Terra Income Advisors assigned all of its rights, title and interest in and to its current external management agreement with Terra Property Trust to Terra REIT Advisors and immediately thereafter, Terra REIT Advisors and Terra Property Trust amended and restated such management agreement. Such amended and restated management agreement has the same economic terms and is in all material respects otherwise on the same terms as the management agreement between Terra Income Advisors and Terra Property Trust in effect immediately prior to the Axar Transaction, except for the identity of our manager.
Terra Property Trust currently pays the following fees to the ManagerTerra REIT Advisors pursuant to a management agreement:

Origination Fee. An origination fee in the amount of 1.0% of the amount used to originate, acquire, fund, acquire or structure real estate-related loans, including any third-party expenses related to such loan. In the event that the term of any real estate-related loan is extended, the Manager also receives an origination fee equal to the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the loan being extended or (ii) the amount of fee paid by the borrower in connection with such extension. The origination fee is offset by the amount of any origination fee received by Terra Property Trust from borrowers.

Asset Management Fee. A monthly asset management fee at an annual rate equal to 1.0% of the aggregate funds under management, which includes the loan origination amount or aggregate gross acquisition cost, as applicable, for each real estate-related loan and cash held by Terra Property Trust.

Asset Servicing Fee. A monthly asset servicing fee at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the aggregate gross origination price or aggregate gross acquisition price for each real estate related loan then held by Terra Property Trust (inclusive of closing costs and expenses).

Disposition Fee. A disposition fee in the amount of 1.0% of the gross sale price received by usTerra Property Trust from the disposition of each loan, but not upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a loan unless there is a corresponding fee paid by the borrower, in which case the disposition fee will be the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the loan and (ii) the amount of the fee paid by the borrower in connection with such transaction. If Terra Property Trust takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a loan, Terra Property Trust will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such property equal to 1.0% of the sales price. In the event that the term of any real estate-related loan is extended, Terra REIT Advisors also receives an extension fee equal to the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the loan being extended or (ii) the amount of fee paid by the borrower in connection with such extension.

Transaction Breakup Fee.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 but do not currently believe that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 retains many current requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments; however, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU 2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existing sale-leaseback guidance with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. This ASU is not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures as we do not have any lease arrangements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, a Consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosure.

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X was August 1, 2017. We adopted the amendments to Regulation S-X on August 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.    
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 intends to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a “set,” that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We may be subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
As of September 30, 2017,2019, Terra Property Trust had one investment13 investments with aan aggregate principal balance of approximately $53.0$183.4 million, net of obligations under participation agreements, that providesprovide for interest income indexedat an annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread, 11 of which are subject to LIBOR, with a LIBOR floorfloor. A decrease of 0.5%.100 basis points in LIBOR would decrease our annual interest income, net of interest expense on participation agreements, by approximately $0.5 million, and an increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR would increase Terra Property Trust’s annual interest income, net of interest expense on participation agreements, by approximately $1.3 million. Additionally, Terra Property Trust had approximately $34.0$44.7 million of borrowings outstanding under a mortgage loan payable that bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 5.25%.3.85% with a LIBOR floor of 2.23%, that is collateralized by an office building; and $51.3 million of borrowings outstanding under a repurchase agreement that bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.25% to 2.35% with a LIBOR floor ranging from no floor to 2.49% and collateralized by $73.2 million of first mortgages. A decrease of 1%100 basis points in LIBOR would decrease ourTerra Property Trust’s total annual net interest expense by approximately $0.03$0.2 million and an increase of 1%100 basis points in LIBOR would increase ourTerra Property Trust’s annual net interest incomeexpense by approximately $0.2$0.8 million.

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. In addition, in April 2018, the Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, announced the replacement of LIBOR with a new index, calculated by short-term repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, called the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or the “SOFR.” At this time, it is not possible to predict whether SOFR will attain market traction as a LIBOR replacement. Additionally, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain. Potential changes, or uncertainty related to such potential changes, may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based securities, including Terra Property Trust’s portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities, or the cost of its borrowings. In addition, changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for LIBOR-based securities, including the value of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities in Terra Property Trust’s portfolio, or the cost of its borrowings. The potential effect of the phase-out or replacement of LIBOR on Terra Property Trust’s cost of capital and net investment income cannot yet be determined.

We may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments, such as futures, options and forward contracts, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risks regarding portfolio valuation. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies — Fair Value Measurements.”Measurements” in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including ourthe chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our Manager (performing functions equivalent to those a principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our company would perform if we had any officers), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017.2019. Based on that evaluation, ourthe chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our Manager concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
