B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of our significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change to the information disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2014 (the “2013 10-K”). The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed in our 2013 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim period. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Loan Participation Interest – Related Parties
As of September 30, 2014, the participations have terms ranging from 3 to 32 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 12%to 15%.
Notes Receivable and Notes Receivable – Related Parties
Notes receivable and notes receivable – related parties are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Although we may enter into unsecured loans, the notes are typically collateralized by one or more of the following: first or second lien deeds of trust, a pledge of ownership interests in the borrower, assignments of lot sale contracts, or reimbursements of development costs due to the borrower under contracts with districts and cities. None of such notes are insured or guaranteed by a federally owned or guaranteed mortgage agency. The notes may be paid off prior to maturity; however, we intend to hold all notes for the life of the notes. As of September 30, 2014, the notes have terms ranging from 3 to 84 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 11% to 15%.
Lot Inventory
Lot inventory is stated at cost, which includes costs associated with the acquisition of the real estate, unless it is determined that the value has been impaired, in which case the lot inventory would be reduced to fair value less estimated costs to sell the lots.
Lot inventory consists of finished single-family residential lots purchased by UDF IV LBI, UDF IV LBII, UDF IV LBIII, UDF IV LBIV and UDF IV LBV (collectively, the “UDF IV LB Entities”) from third-party builders. The UDF IV LB Entities have entered into lot option agreements with each builder whereby the builder will reacquire the lots in accordance with a takedown schedule for a pre-determined lot price (the “base lot price”) identified in the lot option agreement. In consideration for the right to repurchase the lots from the UDF IV LB Entities, each builder provided the UDF IV LB Entities a non-refundable earnest money deposit, a portion of which will be applied to the purchase price of each lot as it is repurchased. In addition, the builders have agreed to pay the UDF IV LB Entities a monthly option fee equal to one twelfth of 13% of the base lot price of the lots the builder has not yet reacquired from the UDF IV LB Entities. If the builder does not perform in accordance with the terms of the lot option agreement, the builder will forfeit the remaining earnest money deposit and the lots can be sold to another builder. As of September 30, 2014, the lot option agreements have terms ranging from 18 to 30 months.
Interest Income and Non-Interest Income Recognition
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we were accruing interest on all loan participation interest – related parties, notes receivable and notes receivable – related parties.
Commitment fee income and commitment fee income – related parties include non-refundable fees charged to borrowers for entering into an obligation that commits us to make or acquire a loan or to satisfy a financial obligation of the borrower when certain conditions are met within a specified time period. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of unamortized commitment fees are included as an offset of notes receivable. Approximately $153,000 and $164,000 of unamortized commitment fees are included as an offset of notes receivable – related parties as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Organizational and Offering Compensation
Various parties received compensation as a result of our initial public offering from December 2009 through May 2013, including the Advisor, affiliates of the Advisor, the dealer manager and soliciting dealers. The Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor funded organization and offering costs on the Trust’s behalf and our Advisor has been paid by the Trust for such costs in an amount equal to 3% of the gross offering proceeds raised by the Trust (the “O&O Reimbursement”) less any offering costs paid by the Trust directly (except that no organization and offering expenses were reimbursed with respect to sales under our distribution reinvestment plan). Payments to the dealer manager included selling commissions (6.5% of gross offering proceeds, except that no commissions were paid with respect to sales under our distribution reinvestment plan) and dealer manager fees (up to 3.5% of gross offering proceeds, except that no dealer manager fees were paid with respect to sales under our distribution reinvestment plan). All Offering costs are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.
Advisor Fees
Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement
In connection with the advisory agreement dated November 12, 2009, between the Trust and its Advisor, as amended by the first amendment dated June 2, 2010 (the “Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement”), the Trust was required to pay certain fees to its Advisor or an affiliate of its Advisor, as described below.
| · | An amount equal to 3% of the net amount available for investment in secured loans and other real estate assets (after payment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and O&O Reimbursement) (“Acquisition and Origination Fees”); provided, however, that we did not incur Acquisition and Origination Fees with respect to any asset-level indebtedness we incurred. Acquisition and Origination Fees were payable to UMTH LD, our asset manager. Acquisition and Origination Fees were expensed as incurred as we entered into new loan commitments and were paid to UMTH LD as we raised capital through our initial public offering and our distribution reinvestment plan, both of which are discussed further in Note C below. Acquisition and Origination Fees incurred are included in general and administrative – related parties expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition and Origination Fees payable to UMTH LD are included in accrued liabilities – related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |
| · | An amount equal to 2% per annum of the average of invested assets, including secured loan assets (“Advisory Fees”); provided, however, that no Advisory Fees were paid with respect to any asset-level indebtedness the Trust incurred. Advisory Fees were payable monthly to our Advisor in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 2% of the Trust’s average invested assets, including secured loan assets, as of the last day of the immediately preceding month. Advisory Fees associated with the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement were expensed as incurred and are included in management fees – related party expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
| · | An amount equal to 1% of the amount made available to the Trust pursuant to the origination of any line of credit or other debt financing, provided that the Advisor provided a substantial amount of services as determined by the Trust’s independent trustees and, on each anniversary date of the origination of any such line of credit or other debt financing, an additional fee of 0.25% of the primary loan amount (collectively, “Debt Financing Fees”) was paid if such line of credit or other debt financing continued to be outstanding on such date, or a prorated portion of such additional fee was paid for the portion of such year that the financing was outstanding. Debt Financing Fees associated with the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement were amortized into expense over the life of the related line of credit. Such expense is included in general and administrative – related parties expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
In addition to the fees described above, the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement would have required the Trust to pay the following fees and expenses to its Advisor under certain circumstances, although due to the entry of a new advisory agreement, as described below, the Trust did not incur any costs or make any payments to its Advisor in connection with these fees during the term of the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement:
| · | The Trust would have been required to reimburse expenses incurred by the Advisor in connection with its provision of services to the Trust, including the Trust’s allocable share of the Advisor’s overhead, such as rent, personnel costs, utilities and IT costs, although the Trust was not required to reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor or its affiliates received other fees. |
| · | Upon termination of the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement, the Trust would have been required to make an annual payment equal to 15% of the amount by which the Trust’s net income for the immediately preceding year exceeded a 10% annual cumulative, non-compounded return on aggregate capital contributions, as adjusted to reflect prior cash distributions to shareholders which constituted a return of capital. |
| · | Upon successful sales by the Trust of securitized loan pool interests, the Trust would have been required to pay an amount equal to 2% of the net proceeds realized by the Trust, provided the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor provided a substantial amount of services as determined by the Trust’s independent trustees. |
| · | For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, the Trust would have been required to pay an amount equal to the lesser of one-half of the reasonable and customary real estate or brokerage commission or 2% of the contract sales price of each property sold; provided, however, in no event would the disposition fees paid to the Advisor, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed 6% of the contracted sales price. |
| · | Upon listing the Trust’s common shares of beneficial interest on a national securities exchange, the Advisor would have been entitled to a fee equal to 15% of the amount, if any, by which (1) the market value of the Trust’s outstanding shares plus distributions paid by the Trust prior to listing, exceeded (2) the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate a 10% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. |
Advisory Agreement
On May 29, 2014, the Trust and the Advisor entered into a new advisory agreement, effective upon the completion of the Listing (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement automatically terminated upon completion of the Listing.
The Advisory Agreement changed the compensation arrangement with the Advisor. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Trust is required to pay the following fees to its Advisor or an affiliate of its Advisor:
| · | An amount equal to one-twelfth of 1.5% of the equity of the Trust (the “Base Management Fee”). The Base Management Fee is payable monthly in arrears and is expensed as incurred. The expense associated with the Base Management Fee is included in management fees – related party expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
| · | An amount equal to 20% of the amount by which the Trust’s core earnings (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) for the preceding 12 months exceeds the product of 8% and the weighted average shares outstanding for the preceding 12 months multiplied by the weighted average share price for the preceding 12 months (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) (the “Incentive Management Fee”), provided that no Incentive Management Fee is payable with respect to any quarter unless the amount of the Trust’s core earnings for the 12 preceding quarters is greater than zero. Prior to the completion of a 12 month period during the term of the Advisory Agreement, core earnings will be calculated on the basis of the number of days the Advisory Agreement has been in effect on an annualized basis. The Incentive Management Fee is payable in arrears in quarterly installments. The expense associated with the Incentive Management Fee is included in management fees – related party expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
| · | Debt Financing Fees equal to 0.5% of the amount made available to the Trust pursuant to the origination of any line of credit or other debt financing, provided that the Advisor provided a substantial amount of services as determined by a majority of the Trust’s independent trustees. This amount was reduced from 1.0%, per the terms of the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement. On each anniversary date of the origination of any such line of credit or other debt financing, the Trust will continue to pay an additional fee of 0.25% of the primary loan amount if such line of credit or other debt financing continues to be outstanding on such date, or a prorated portion of such additional fee was paid for the portion of such year that the financing was outstanding. Debt Financing Fees are amortized into expense over the life of the related line of credit. Such expense is included in general and administrative – related parties expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
| · | An amount equal to 1% of the par amount of the securities sold by the Trust in connection with the securitization and placement of any secured loans (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) (“Securitized Loan Pool Placement Fees”), if the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor provided a substantial amount of services as determined by the Trust’s independent trustees. No Securitized Loan Pool Placement Fees are included on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
| · | An amount equal to 15% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the Trust’s outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (measured by taking the average closing price for a single common share of beneficial interest over a period of thirty consecutive trading days commencing 180 days after Listing and multiplying that number by the total outstanding common shares of beneficial interest upon Listing) plus distributions paid by the Trust prior to listing exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) the total amount of capital raised from investors (after reduction of distributions attributable to net sales proceeds and amounts paid by the Trust to repurchase shares) and (B) the amount equal to a 10% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors from inception through Listing (the “Listing Fee”). The Listing Fee will be paid as follows: 50% will be payable in cash and 50% will be payable in the form of a three-year promissory note bearing interest at the applicable federal rate established by the Internal Revenue Service on the date of issuance, payable quarterly in arrears. If the promissory note has not been paid in full within three years from the date of issuance, then the Advisor, or its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the unpaid balance, including accrued but unpaid interest, into common shares of the Trust at a price per share equal to the average closing price of the shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election. No Listing Fees are included on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
In addition to the fees described above, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Trust will reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates for expenses they incur on behalf of the Trust, including expenses incurred by the Advisor in employing the Trust’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel (the “Advisor Expense Reimbursement”). The Trust will pay the Advisor Expense Reimbursement on a monthly basis, and costs incurred by the Trust in connection with the Advisor Expense Reimbursement will be expensed by the Trust as incurred.
Listing
The Trust incurred certain costs in connection with its Listing and Tender Offer. These listing costs consisted primarily of legal, investment banking, NASDAQ fees, share-based compensation, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in connection with our Listing and Tender Offer. We expensed Listing costs totaling approximately $77,000 and $5.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. We did not expense Listing costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Of the $5.1 million of listing expenses incurred through September 30, 2014, approximately $300,000 was attributable to share-based compensation, as discussed further in Note C.
Income Taxes
We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. As of September 30, 2014, tax returns related to fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2013 remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities. We did not incur any penalties or interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which may require more judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo.2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”). The update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition and, as a result, should not be included in the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periodstherein. Earlyadoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to havea material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees
From time to time, we enter into guarantees of debtor’s or affiliates’ borrowings and provide credit enhancements for the benefit of senior lenders in connection with our debtors and investments in partnerships (collectively referred to as “guarantees”), and account for such guarantees in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 460-10Guarantees.
Share-Based Compensation
We value all share-based payments at the estimated fair value on the date of grant and we expense these payments over the applicable vesting period in accordance with GAAP.
Reclassifications
We have renamed our real estate owned balance to lot inventory to more appropriately describe the nature of this asset. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with the current year presentation.
C. Shareholders’ Equity
Offering
On November 12, 2009, the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form S-11, covering an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of up to 25,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest to be offered in the primary offering at a price of $20 per share (the “Primary Offering”), was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On December 18, 2009, the Trust’s initial public subscribers were accepted as shareholders pursuant to the Offering, and the subscription proceeds from such initial public subscribers were released to the Trust from escrow.
The Offering also initially covered up to 10,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest to be issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) for $20 per share (the “Primary DRIP Offering”).We had the right to reallocate the common shares of beneficial interest registered in the Offering between the Primary Offering and the Primary DRIP Offering, and pursuant to Supplement No. 6 to our prospectus regarding the Offering, which was filed with the SEC on May 3, 2013, we reallocated the shares being offered to be 34,000,000 shares offered pursuant to the Primary Offering and 1,000,000 shares offered pursuant to the Primary DRIP Offering. The shares were offered to investors on a reasonable best efforts basis, which means the dealer manager used its reasonable best efforts to sell the shares offered, but was not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares and did not have a firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the offered shares. The Offering terminated on May 13, 2013.
On April 19, 2013, we registered 7,500,000 additional common shares of beneficial interest to be offered pursuant to the DRIP in a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-188045) for $20 per share (the “Secondary DRIP Offering”). We ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest under the Primary DRIP Offering upon the termination of the Offering on May 13, 2013, and concurrently began offering our common shares of beneficial interest to our shareholders pursuant to the Secondary DRIP Offering. Effective May 24, 2014, in contemplation of the Listing, we terminated our DRIP and ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Secondary DRIP Offering.
On August 4, 2014, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with theSEC that allows us to publicly offer and sell common shares of beneficial interest, preferred shares of beneficial interest and debt securities, from time to time, in one or more future offerings, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $750 million (the “Shelf Registration”). The Shelf Registration was declared effective by the SEC on August 27, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, no offerings have been commenced pursuant to the Shelf Registration.
On August 4, 2014, we filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Amended Secondary DRIP Offering”) to our Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on April 19, 2013, in which we originally registered 7,500,000 common shares of beneficial interest to be offered pursuant to our DRIP. Pursuant to our Amended Secondary DRIP Offering, we began offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our new distribution reinvestment plan (the “New DRIP”) in August 2014. The purchase price for shares under the New DRIP will be equal to the current market value of our shares, calculated based upon the average of the open and close prices per share on the distribution payment date, as reported by NASDAQ.
As of September 30, 2014, the Trust had issued an aggregate of 32,550,482 common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Primary Offering, Primary DRIP Offering, Secondary DRIP Offering and Amended Secondary DRIP Offering, consisting of 30,735,813 common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Primary Offering in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $614.7 million (approximately $535.0 million, net of costs associated with the Primary Offering), 723,617 common shares of beneficial interest in accordance with our Primary DRIP Offering in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, 1,087,543 common shares of beneficial interest in accordance with our Secondary DRIP Offering in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $21.7 million and 3,509 common shares of beneficial interest in accordance with our Amended Secondary DRIP Offering in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2014, the Trust had redeemed an aggregate of 2,030,453 common shares of beneficial interest at a cost of approximately $41.4 million, including shares repurchased pursuant to our Tender Offer, as discussed further below.
Distributions
We must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income each year in order to meet the requirements for being treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). In accordance with this requirement, we pay monthly distributions to our shareholders. In addition to the monthly distributions, in an effort to ensure we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income, our board of trustees has periodically authorized additional, special distributions. Our distribution rate and any special distributions are approved by our board of trustees and are dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of distributions, our financial condition, loan funding commitments and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
On May 30, 2014, in contemplation of the Listing, we announced the termination of our DRIP, effective ten days from the notice of such termination, pursuant to the terms of the DRIP. Upon termination of the DRIP, we ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Secondary DRIP Offering. On August 4, 2014, we created our New DRIP and began offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Amended Secondary DRIP Offering.
Our board of trustees authorized distributions payable to our shareholders on a monthly basis commencing on December 18, 2009. For distributions declared for each record date in the July 2011 through May 2014 periods, our daily distribution rate was $0.0044932 per common share of beneficial interest, which is equal to an annualized distribution rate of $1.64 per share. These daily distributions were aggregated and paid monthly in arrears on or about the 25th day of each month. Distributions for shareholders participating in our distribution reinvestment plan were reinvested into our shares on the payment date of each distribution prior to the termination of our DRIP.
From June 2014 through September 2014, our board of trustees authorized distributions of $0.1367 per common share of beneficial interest to be paid on or about the 25th day of each month to shareholders of record on or about the 15th day of each month, which is equal to an annual distribution rate of $1.64 per share. On October 2, 2014, our board of trustees authorized monthly distributions of $0.1367 per common share of beneficial interest (which is equal to an annual distribution rate of $1.64 per share) for the period from October 2014 through December 2014. See Note K – Subsequent Events for further discussion. All distributions are paid in cash and New DRIP shares as of September 30, 2014.
Our board of trustees did not authorize any special distributions to be paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition to the monthly distributions discussed above, the following table represents all special distributions authorized by our board of trustees that were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid distributions of approximately $38.7 million ($30.0 million in cash and $8.7 million in our common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Secondary DRIP Offering and our Amended Secondary DRIP Offering) and $31.6 million ($19.9 million in cash and $11.7 million in our common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Primary DRIP Offering and Secondary DRIP Offering), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we issued 435,250 and 587,020 common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to distributions that were reinvested.
We utilize cash to fund operating expenses, make investments, service debt obligations and pay distributions. We receive cash from operations (which includes interest payments), as well as cash from investing activities (which includes repayment of principal on loans we have made) and financing activities (which includes borrowing proceeds and additional capital from the sale of our shares). We have secured various lines of credit to manage the timing of our cash receipts and funding requirements. Over the long term, we expect that substantially all of our distributions will be funded from operating cash flow.
The following tables reconcile the total distributions paid to our calculation of distributions per weighted average share outstanding for the periods indicated:

Share Redemption Program
Prior to its suspension and ultimate termination, our share redemption program enabled our shareholders to sell their shares back to us in limited circumstances. On May 30, 2014, we announced the termination of our share redemption program, effective upon Listing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received valid redemption requests relating to 183,166 shares of beneficial interest and 106,018 shares were redeemed for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million (an average redemption price of $18.60 per share). For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received valid redemption requests relating to 74,556 shares of beneficial interest, all of which were redeemed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.4 million (an average redemption price of $19.41 per share). Shares redeemed are included in treasury stock in the consolidated balance sheet.
Tender Offer
Pursuant to our Tender Offer, on July 9, 2014, we purchased 1,707,317 common shares of beneficial interest at a purchase price of $20.50 per share, for an aggregate cost of $35.0 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer. In addition, on July 9, 2014, in connection with our Tender Offer, we eliminated 4,211 fractional common shares of beneficial interest (the “Fractional Shares”) for an aggregate cost of approximately $86,000 by paying each holder of a Fractional Share an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share being repurchased multiplied by $20.50 per share. Shares purchased pursuant to our Tender Offer and Fractional Shares purchased in connection with our Tender Offer are included in treasury stock in the consolidated balance sheet.
Adoption of Equity Incentive Plans
In connection with the Listing, on May 29, 2014, the Board, including a majority of the independent trustees, approved the adoption of equity incentive plans for its Advisor (the “Advisor Equity Plan”), its trustees, officers, advisors and consultants (the “Equity Plan”) and its non-executive trustees (the “Non-Executive Trustee Stock Plan”). These equity incentive plans (collectively, the “Equity Incentive Plans”) will be overseen by the Board’s compensation committee, which consists solely of non-executive trustees. Shares issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plans are subject to an aggregate limitation of 2,423,284 shares of beneficial interest (7.5% of the number of shares that are issued and outstanding immediately following the approval for listing and trading of the shares on NASDAQ).
The Advisor Equity Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted common shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to the Advisor. The Advisor may in turn issue such awards to its officers, employees or other consultants in order to promote the success of the Trust.
The Equity Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted common shares, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards to the trustees, officers and other employees and independent contractors, including employees or trustees of the Advisor and its affiliates who are providing services to the Trust.
The Non-Executive Trustee Stock Plan provides for the issuance of restricted common shares, restricted stock units, or other equity-based awards to the Trust’s non-executive trustees in order to provide incentives to such trustees to promote the success of the Trust.
Share Based Compensation
On February 3, 2014, our board of trustees appointed Stacey H. Dwyer as our Chief Operating Officer, effective February 17, 2014. In connection with this appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Dwyer effective as of February 17, 2014.
Pursuant to her employment agreement, Ms. Dwyer’s compensation includes (a) an initial equity award of 82,410 common shares, one-quarter of which will vest annually over four years, subject to Ms. Dwyer’s continued employment with us through such date and (b) an annual equity grant of 12,500 common shares on each anniversary date of the effective date of the employment agreement, with each annual equity grant vesting five years after the applicable grant date, subject to Ms. Dwyer’s continued employment with us through such date. From the date of grant until such time as they become vested and payable (the “Restricted Period”), the shares granted to Ms. Dwyer pursuant to her employment agreement (the “Restricted Shares”) may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of. Compensation expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each grant. In connection with Restricted Shares granted to Ms. Dwyer, approximately $103,000 and $258,000, respectively, in share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

A loan is placed on non-accrual status and income recognition is suspended at the date at which, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes more likely than not, but is no longer probable, based upon our review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Any payments received on loans classified as non-accrual status are typically applied first to outstanding loan amounts and then to the recovery of lost interest. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had not placed any loans on non-accrual status.
We evaluate our portfolio of notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties, and loan participation interest – related parties on a loan-by-loan basis quarterly or as circumstances or events arise that warrant more frequent review. In conjunction with this evaluation, we apply the guidance in FASB ASC 310-10-35,Receivables – Overall – Subsequent Measurement(“ASC 310-10-35”) in determining whether it is probable that we will be unable to collect all of the contractual principal and interest payments as scheduled in our loan agreements (i.e., whether the loan is impaired). In assessing the collectability of each portfolio loan, we conduct our detailed review on three levels: an economic fundamentals review, a submarket analysis, and active portfolio monitoring. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. If an individual loan is considered impaired, a specific valuation allowance may be allocated, if necessary, so that the individual loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Loans that are not individually considered impaired are collectively and qualitatively measured as a portfolio for general valuation allowance. In reviewing our portfolio for this valuation analysis, we use cash flow estimates from the disposition of finished lots, paper lots (residential lots shown on a plat that has been accepted by the city or county, but which is currently undeveloped or under development) and undeveloped land as well as cash flow received from the issuance of bonds from municipal reimbursement districts. These estimates are based on current market metrics, including, without limitation, the supply of finished lots, paper lots and undeveloped land; the supply of homes and the rate and price at which land and homes are sold; historic levels and trends; executed contracts, appraisals and discussions with third-party market analysts and participants, including homebuilders. We base our valuations on current and historic market trends and on our analysis of market events and conditions, including activity within our portfolio, and on the analysis of third-party services such as Metrostudy and Residential Strategies, Inc. Cash flow forecasts also are based on executed purchase contracts which provide base prices, escalation rates, and absorption rates on an individual project basis. For projects deemed to have an extended time horizon for disposition, we consider third-party appraisals to provide a valuation in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In addition to cash flows from the disposition of property, cost analysis is performed based on estimates of development and senior financing expenditures provided by developers and independent professionals on a project-by-project basis. These amounts are reconciled with our best estimates to establish the net realizable value of the portfolio.
Interest is recognized on an accrual basis for impaired loans in which the collectability of the unpaid principal amount is deemed probable. Any payments received on such loans are first applied to outstanding accrued interest receivable and then to outstanding unpaid principal balance. Unpaid principal balance is materially the same as recorded investments. Any payments received on impaired loans in which the collectability of the unpaid principal amount is less than probable are typically applied to outstanding unpaid principal and then to the recovery of lost interest on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
As of September 30, 2014, we had one matured loan with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $564,000. This loan was not considered impaired as the loan matured in September 2014 and payment in full on the unpaid principal balance was received in October 2014. As of December 31, 2013, we had no matured loans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not recognize any interest income associated with impaired loans.
As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, we periodically, but no less than quarterly, perform a detailed review of our portfolio of mortgage notes and other loans. The following is a general description of the credit levels used:
Level 1 – Full collectability of loans in this category is considered probable.
Level 2 – Full collectability of loans in this category is deemed more likely than not, but not probable, based upon our review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Interest income is suspended on Level 2 loans.
Level 3 – For loans in this category, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due.
As of the dates indicated, our loans were classified as follows:
| | September 30, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | |
Level 1 | | $ | 601,469,000 | | | $ | 514,993,000 | |
Level 2 | | | - | | | | - | |
Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | |
Total | | $ | 601,469,000 | | | $ | 514,993,000 | |
The allowance for loan losses is our estimate of incurred losses in our portfolio of notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties and loan participation interest – related parties. We periodically perform a detailed review of our portfolio of notes and other loans to determine if impairment has occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We charge additions to the allowance for loan losses to current period earnings through a provision for loan losses. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against (and decrease) the allowance for loan losses (“charged off”), while amounts recovered on previously charged off amounts increase the allowance for loan losses. The following table summarizes the change in the reserve for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, which is offset against notes receivable:
| | For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 | | | For the Year Ended December 31, 2013 | |

We have adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-02,A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.In accordance with ASU 2011-02, the restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have no loan modifications that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

G. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Trust may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material pending or threatened legal proceedings known to be contemplated against the Trust.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, we enter into guarantees of debtor’s borrowings and provide credit enhancements for the benefit of senior lenders in connection with our debtors and investments in partnerships (collectively referred to as “guarantees”), and account for such guarantees in accordance with FASB ASC 460-10Guarantees. Guarantees generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the debtor. A guarantee involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the guarantee.

H. Economic Dependency
Under various agreements, the Trust has engaged or will engage the Advisor and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Trust, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of the Trust’s common shares of beneficial interest available for issue, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Trust. As a result of these relationships, the Trust is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these entities were unable to provide the Trust with the respective services, the Trust would be required to find alternative providers of these services.
I. Related Party Transactions
Guarantees
From time to time, we enter into guarantees of our affiliates’ borrowings. For further discussion of related party guarantees, see Note G above.
O&O Reimbursement
We paid our Advisor an O&O Reimbursement equal to 3% of the gross offering proceeds raised by the Trust in the Offering (as discussed in Note B) for reimbursement of organization and offering expenses funded by our Advisor or its affiliates. The Offering terminated on May 13, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we reimbursed our Advisor approximately $8.2 million in accordance with the O&O Reimbursement.
Management Fees
Prior to the Listing, we incurred monthly Advisory Fees payable to our Advisor. Subsequent to the Listing, we incur monthly Base Management Fees and potentially Incentive Management Fees payable to our Advisor. The Advisory Fees, Base Management Fees and Incentive Management Fees (collectively, “Management Fees”) are discussed further in Note B above. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, is included in management fees – related party expense for Management Fees payable to our Advisor. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately $7.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, is included in management fees – related party expense for Management Fees payable to our Advisor.

Acquisition and Origination Fees
Prior to the Listing, we incurred Acquisition and Origination Fees equal to 3% of the net amount available for investment in secured loans and other real estate assets (after payment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and O&O Reimbursement) (as discussed in Note B); provided, however, that no such fees were paid with respect to any asset-level indebtedness we incurred. The fees were further reduced by the amount of any acquisition and origination expenses paid by borrowers or investment entities to our Advisor or affiliates of our Advisor with respect to our investment. These fees, including estimated fees on the entire registered amount of our Secondary DRIP Offering when it was established, were accrued and expensed as we entered into new loan commitments. Acquisition and Origination Fees were paid to UMTH LD, our asset manager, as we raised capital through our Primary Offering, Primary DRIP Offering and Secondary DRIP Offering. The general partner of our Advisor is also the general partner of UMTH LD.
In connection with our Listing, we ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Secondary DRIP Offering and concurrently reversed approximately $3.2 million in unpaid Acquisition and Origination Fees that remained in accrued liabilities – related parties. Since we ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Secondary DRIP Offering, the Acquisition and Origination Fees which had previously been accrued and expensed related to estimated Secondary DRIP Offering proceeds will not be paid.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 we do not have any general and administrative – related parties expense associated with Acquisition and Origination Fees payable to UMTH LD. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $2.7 million is included in general and administrative – related parties expense associated with Acquisition and Origination Fees payable to UMTH LD.

As of December 31, 2013, approximately $2.4 million is included in accrued liabilities – related parties associated with Acquisition and Origination Fees payable to UMTH LD. In accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement entered into on May 29, 2014, we do not pay Acquisition and Origination Fees to our Advisor. Therefore, as of September 30, 2014, there were no Acquisition and Origination Fees payable to UMTH LD.

J. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, loan participation interest – related parties, notes receivable and notes receivable – related parties. We maintain deposits in financial institutions that may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). We have not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
As of September 30, 2014, over 98% of our real property loans and investments are secured by properties located in Texas and approximately 1% of our real property loans and investments are secured by properties located in Florida. In addition, we have one real property loan secured by property in South Carolina which represents less than 1% of our real property loans and investments.
We may invest in multiple secured loans that share a common borrower. The bankruptcy, insolvency or other inability of any borrower that is the subject of multiple loans to pay interest or repay principal on its loans would have adverse consequences on our income and reduce the amount of funds available for distribution to investors. The more concentrated our portfolio is with one or a few borrowers, the greater credit risk we face. The loss of any one of these borrowers would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We did not have any individual loans to borrowers that accounted for over 10% of the outstanding balance of our portfolio as of September 30, 2014. Our largest individual borrower and its affiliates comprised approximately 63% of the outstanding balance of our portfolio.
K. Subsequent Events
On October 2, 2014, our board of trustees authorized monthly distributions of $0.1367 per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 payable on October 27, November 25 and December 26, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 17, November 14 and December 16, 2014, respectively.
On October 14, 2014, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Waterfall 3 Loan”) with Waterfall Finance 3, LLC (“Waterfall 3”) for a $15 million term loan. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 9.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1%. All accrued and unpaid interest is payable on the fifth day of each calendar month during the term of the loan. Principal is due at maturity. The Waterfall 3 Loan matures on October 14, 2015. However, if the Trust is in compliance with all financial covenants, it may choose to extend the Waterfall 3 Loan to March 31, 2016, with monthly principal payments payable by the Trust during the extension period. The Waterfall 3 Loan is secured by a first priority lien on the mortgage loans and other assets of the Trust.

Overview
United Development Funding IV is an externally-managed Maryland real estate investment trust formed on May 28, 2008 primarily to generate current interest income by investing in loans secured by residential real estate and by producing profits from investments in residential real estate. On May 30, 2014, in contemplation of the Listing, we announced the termination of our DRIP, effective ten days from the notice of such termination, pursuant to the terms of the DRIP. Upon termination of the DRIP, we ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Secondary DRIP Offering. On June 4, 2014, we listed our common shares of beneficial interest on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “UDF” and concurrently commenced our Tender Offer. On August 4, 2014, we established our New DRIP and filed a $750 million Shelf Registration. For further discussion of our DRIP, Secondary DRIP Offering, New DRIP and our Shelf Registration, see Note C to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We made an election under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as a REIT, beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010, which was the first year in which we had material operations. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our shareholders, although we are subject to U.S. federal income tax on income earned through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we later fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied, unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income. However, we believe that we are organized and we operate in a manner that will enable us to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
We primarily originate, purchase, participate in and hold for investment secured loans made directly by us or indirectly through our affiliates to persons and entities for the acquisition and development of parcels of real property as single-family residential lots or mixed-use master planned residential communities, for the construction of single-family homes and for completed model homes. We also make direct investments in land for development into single-family lots, home construction and portfolios of finished lots and model homes; provide credit enhancements to real estate developers, home builders, land bankers and other real estate investors; and purchase participations in, or finance for other real estate investors the purchase of, securitized real estate loan pools and discounted cash flows secured by state, county, municipal or other similar assessments levied on real property. We also may enter into joint ventures with unaffiliated real estate developers, home builders, land bankers and other real estate investors, or with other United Development Funding-sponsored programs, to originate or acquire the same kind of secured loans or real estate investments we may originate or acquire directly.
As of September 30, 2014, substantially all of our investments, including 128 loans, are in Texas. In addition, we have 2 loans in Florida and 1 loan in South Carolina. We monitor the fundamentals of supply and demand, such as demographics, job creation, home prices, rents and median incomes, in the markets and submarkets in which we make loans and where we may expand our operations in the future. We also monitor movements in home prices and the presence of market disruption activity, such as investor or speculator activity. Further, we study new home starts, new home closings, finished homes inventories, finished lot inventories, existing home sales, foreclosures, absorption, finished lots and land prices and changes in the levels of sales incentives and discounts in a market.
We believe that the overall housing market continues to recover and strengthen, and that the recovery will vary by market, led by those housing markets with stronger demand fundamentals and more balanced supplies of land and housing inventory relative to demand. We believe that the continued strengthening of the recovery depends on adequate supplies of both finished lots and homes available for purchase, as well as the continued recovery of the consumer. We believe consumers remain cautious due to the uncertainty still present in many economic indicators, such as elevated unemployment and under-employment, low wage growth, slow economic growth and events associated with tightened federal fiscal policy.
We believe that our continued revenue growth and improved financial performance will come from a greater presence in our established markets and from our entry into new markets. While the pace of improvement in those markets may be uneven, we expect demand to continue to rise at a moderate rate over an extended period of time, driven by economic improvement, job creation, historically low interest rates, attractive housing affordability levels, slow relaxation of the mortgage underwriting environment, low production of single-family homes and an expected rise in the number of household formations. We believe that we are well positioned to benefit from the opportunities arising from the diminished supply of debt capital and the substantial demand for new financings in the residential real estate sector. Nevertheless, the pace of the housing recovery and our future results could be negatively affected by weakening economic conditions, increases in unemployment or underemployment, decreases in housing demand or home affordability, significant increases in mortgage interest rates or tightening of mortgage lending standards. In some instances, the loans we make will be junior in the right of repayment to senior lenders. As senior lenders reengage or interest rates and advance rates available to our borrowers increase, demand for our mortgage loans may decrease, and vice versa.
We face a risk of loss resulting from adverse changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may impact demand for our real estate finance products, the rate of interest we receive on our loans receivable and the rate of interest we pay on outstanding loans. If interest rates increase or if mortgage financing underwriting criteria become more restrictive, demand for single-family residences may decrease, and developers and builders may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from the sale of land parcels, finished lots or homes to repay loans from us.
Our loan portfolio, consisting of notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties and loan participation interest – related parties, grew from approximately $297.2 million as of December 31, 2012, to approximately $508.5 million as of December 31, 2013, to approximately $593.4 million as of September 30, 2014. With the increase in our loan portfolio, our revenues, the majority of which is from recognizing interest income associated with our loan portfolio, also increased. Our expenses related to the portfolio also increased, including the provision for loan losses, which was approximately $774,000 and $549,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our working capital reserves may be invested in short-term, highly-liquid investments including, but not limited to, government obligations, bank certificates of deposit, short-term debt obligations and interest-bearing accounts.Our cash balances were approximately $12.0 million and $33.6 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
We may use debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition or origination of secured loans, acquisition of properties and the diversification of our portfolio. We may also use, when appropriate, leverage at the asset level. As of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we do not have any asset-level indebtedness. Interest expense associated with fund-level indebtedness was approximately $1.9 million and $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $2.9 million and $952,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest expense is a result of an increase in our aggregate borrowings to approximately $142.3 million as of September 30, 2014, from approximately $3.6 million as of September 30, 2013.
Net income was approximately $13.4 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $36.6 million and $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net income per share of beneficial interest was approximately $0.44 and $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $1.16 and $0.80 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our net income per share of beneficial interest is calculated based on net income divided by the weighted average shares of beneficial interest outstanding.
As of September 30, 2014, we had originated or purchased 164 loans, including 33 loans that have either been repaid in full by the respective borrower or have matured and have not been renewed, with maximum loan amounts totaling approximately $1.1 billion. Of the 131 loans outstanding as of September 30, 2014, 10 loans totaling approximately $47.2 million and 11 loans totaling approximately $40.2 million are included in notes receivable – related parties, net and loan participation interest – related parties, net, respectively, on our balance sheet.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform to GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Loan Participation Interest – Related Parties
As of September 30, 2014, the participations have terms ranging from 3 to 32 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 12% to 15%. The participation interests may be paid off prior to maturity; however, we intend to hold all participation interests for the life of the loans.
Notes Receivable and Notes Receivable – Related Parties
As of September 30, 2014, the notes have terms ranging from 3 to 84 months and bear interest at rates ranging from 11% to 15%. The notes may be paid off prior to maturity; however, we intend to hold all notes for the life of the notes.
Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses had a balance of $6.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, offset against notes receivable (see Note D to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
Organization and Offering Expenses
Offering costs related to raising capital from equity reduce equity and are reflected as shares issuance costs in shareholders’ equity. Further, offering costs related to raising capital from debt are amortized over the term of such debt. Certain offering costs were paid by our Advisor and, as discussed in Note I to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, our Advisor has been paid by the Trust for such costs in an amount equal to 3% of the gross proceeds raised by the Trust in the Offering (the “O&O Reimbursement”) less any offering costs paid by the Trust directly. The Offering terminated on May 13, 2013.
Acquisition and Origination Fees
As discussed in Notes B and I to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we reimbursed UMTH LD, our asset manager, for Acquisition and Origination Fees; provided, however, that no Acquisition and Origination Fees were paid with respect to any asset-level indebtedness we incurred. These fees, including estimated fees on the entire registered amount of our Secondary DRIP Offering when it was established, were accrued and expensed as we entered into new loan commitments. Acquisition and Origination Fees were paid to UMTH LD, our asset manager, as we raised capital through our Primary Offering, Primary DRIP Offering and Secondary DRIP Offering.
In connection with our Listing, we ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Secondary DRIP Offering and concurrently reversed approximately $3.2 million in unpaid Acquisition and Origination Fees that remained in accrued liabilities – related parties. Since we ceased offering common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to our Secondary DRIP Offering, the Acquisition and Origination Fees which had previously been accrued and expensed related to the estimated Secondary DRIP Offering proceeds will not be paid.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, we reimbursed UMTH LD approximately $259,000 and $8.0 million, respectively, for Acquisition and Origination Fees.
Revenue Recognition
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we were accruing interest on all loan participation interest – related parties, notes receivable and notes receivable – related parties.
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of unamortized commitment fees are included as an offset of notes receivable. Approximately $153,000 and $164,000 of unamortized commitment fees are included as an offset of notes receivable – related parties as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Lot Inventory and Loan Portfolio
Lot Inventory
Our lot inventory owned consists of finished single-family residential lots purchased from third-party builders. In some cases, we may use our lines of credit to finance these lots. For lots we intend to finance under a line of credit, a UDF IV subsidiary has originated a first lien on the lots which is assigned to the holder of the line of credit.
As of September 30, 2014, we have 116 finished single-family residential lots included in our lot inventory balance of approximately $13.6 million. We have option agreements in place to sell these lots with terms ranging from 18 to 30 months.
Loan Portfolio
For loans in which we are a subordinate lender, we are generally second in lien priority behind the third-party financing. In some cases, we permit builders to file performance deeds of trust in second priority behind the third-party financing. In such cases, we are generally third in lien priority behind the third-party financing and the builder performance deeds of trust. For loans in which we are a subordinate lender at origination, the aggregate of all loan balances, senior and subordinated, divided by the value of the collateral is 85% or less, unless substantial justification to exceed an 85% loan-to-value ratio exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria.
We may secure our loans with pledges of equity interests in lieu of, or in addition to, real property liens. Pledges of equity interests are documented by pledge agreements, assignments of equity interests, and uniform commercial code (“UCC”) financing statements. In some cases, we also secure assignments of distributions to secure our pledges of equity interests. Should a loan secured by a pledge of equity interests default, we may foreclose on the pledge of equity interests through a personal property foreclosure under the terms of the pledge agreement and the UCC.
We may also secure our loans with assignments of reimbursement rights in lieu of, or in addition to, real property liens. Assignments of reimbursement rights are documented by deeds of trust or by assignments and UCC financing statements. Should a loan secured by an assignment of reimbursement rights default, we may foreclose on the reimbursement rights either in conjunction with a real property foreclosure or through a personal property foreclosure under the terms of the UCC.
As of September 30, 2014, we had purchased or entered into 17 participation agreements with related parties (6 of which were repaid in full) with aggregate, maximum loan amounts of approximately $91.3 million (with an unfunded balance of approximately $17.4 million) and 13 related party note agreements (3 of which were repaid in full and one of which matured and was not renewed) with aggregate, maximum loan amounts totaling approximately $81.1 million (with an unfunded balance of approximately $4.7 million). Additionally, we had purchased or entered into 134 note agreements with third parties (24 of which were repaid in full) with aggregate, maximum loan amounts of approximately $906.6 million, of which approximately $175.2 million has yet to be funded.
The participation agreements outstanding as of September 30, 2014 are made to borrower entities which may hold ownership interests in projects in addition to the project funded by us and/or may be secured by multiple single-family residential communities. Certain participation agreements are secured by a personal guarantee of the borrower principal in addition to a lien on the real property or the equity interests in the entity that holds the real property. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of mortgage notes originated by us as of September 30, 2014 are secured by properties located in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Lubbock greater metropolitan markets in Texas as well as Tampa and Orlando, Floridaand Fort Mill, South Carolina. Security for such loans takes the form of either a direct security interest represented by a first or second lien on the respective property and/or an indirect security interest represented by a pledge of the ownership interests of the entity which holds title to the property.
89 of the 131 loans outstanding as of September 30, 2014, representing approximately 62% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding loans, are secured by a first lien on the respective property; 41 loans, representing approximately 42% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding loans, are secured by a second lien on the respective property; 24 loans, representing approximately 18% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding loans, are secured by a pledge of some or all of the equity interests in the developer entity or other parent entity that owns the borrower entity; 34 loans, representing approximately 43% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding loans, are secured by reimbursements of development costs due to the developer under contracts with districts and cities; and 110 loans, representing approximately 78% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding loans, are secured by a guarantee of the principals or parent companies of the borrower in addition to the other collateral for the loan.
As of September 30, 2014, we did not have any individual loans to borrowers that accounted for over 10% of the outstanding balance of our portfolio. As of September 30, 2014, our largest individual borrower and its affiliates comprised approximately 63% of the outstanding balance of our portfolio.
As of September 30, 2014, interest rates range from 12% to 15% on the outstanding participation agreements and from 11% to 15% on the outstanding notes receivable, including notes receivable from related parties. The participation agreements have terms ranging from 3 to 32 months, while the notes receivable have terms ranging from 3 to 84 months.
The following table summarizes our real property loans as of September 30, 2014:

Results of Operations
The three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013
Revenues
Interest income (including interest income – related parties) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $19.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively. The increase in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of our increased notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties and loan participation interest – related parties portfolio of approximately $593.4 million as of September 30, 2014, compared to approximately $448.5 million as of September 30, 2013 as proceeds raised from our Offering, combined with increased amounts of leverage, continued to be invested in revenue-generating real estate investments.
Commitment fee income (including commitment fee income – related parties) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $834,000 and $448,000, respectively. The increase in commitment fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of an increase in loan commitment fees and option fees associated with our lot inventory as proceeds raised from our Offering, combined with increased amounts of leverage, continued to be invested in revenue-generating real estate investments.
We expect revenues to increase as we grow our portfolio with capital from additional debt or possible future equity offerings and as we reinvest proceeds from loans that are repaid.
Expenses
Interest expense related to our notes payable and lines of credit totaled approximately $1.9 million and $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of the increase in our aggregate borrowings to approximately $142.3 million as of September 30, 2014, from approximately $3.6 million as of September 30, 2013. We increased our aggregate borrowings as of September 30, 2014 to fund the growth of our portfolio as well as our Tender Offer. Interest expense will fluctuate based on the timing of leverage introduced to the fund as well as the timing of draws and payments on our lines of credit. We expect interest expense to increase as we add additional debt to our balance sheet to grow our portfolio.
Management fees – related party expense represents the expense associated with the Management Fees discussed in Note I to our accompanying consolidated financial statements and was approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In connection with the Listing, we terminated the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement and adopted the Advisory Agreement, which became effective upon our Listing on June 4, 2014. Management Fees incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2014 include a combination of the Base Management Fees and Incentive Management Fees paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, while Management Fees incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013 include Advisory Fees paid pursuant to the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement. See Note B to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of Advisory Fees under the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement and Base Management Fees and Incentive Management Fees under the Advisory Agreement. We expect management fees – related party expense to increase as we grow our shareholders’ equity and as our returns increase, resulting in an increase to the Incentive Management Fees. The Incentive Management Fee may cause significant fluctuations in management fees – related party expense in the future.
We incurred listing expenses totaling approximately $77,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014, which were primarily for legal fees, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in connection with our Listing and Tender Offer.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1.2 million and $622,000, respectively. General and administrative expense consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees, transfer agent fees, insurance expense, compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily associated with an increase in compensation expense associated with our chief operating officer, who was hired in February 2014, and an increase in amortization of debt financing costs corresponding to an increase in borrowings on our note payable and lines of credit. We expect general and administrative expense to increase as our portfolio grows, although quarterly amounts may fluctuate significantly.
General and administrative – related parties expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $382,000 and $2.8 million, respectively. General and administrative – related parties expense consists of Acquisition and Origination Fees, amortization of Debt Financing Fees, expense associated with Credit Enhancement Fees and the Advisor Expense Reimbursement. The decrease in general and administrative – related parties expense is primarily due to the fact that we no longer incur Acquisition and Origination Fees in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement entered into on May 29, 2014. We expect general and administrative – related parties expense will decline from the historical run rate since we will no longer incur Acquisition and Origination Fees under the Advisory Agreement. Other components of general and administrative expense – related parties are expected to increase as our portfolio grows.
Comparison Charts
The table below summarizes the approximate expenses associated with related parties for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. We believe that these fees and reimbursements are reasonable and customary for comparable mortgage REITs.

The nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013
Revenues
Interest income (including interest income – related parties) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $54.5 million and $35.2 million, respectively. The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of our increased notes receivable, notes receivable – related parties and loan participation interest – related parties portfolio of approximately $593.4 million as of September 30, 2014, compared to approximately $448.5 million as of September 30, 2013 as proceeds raised from our Offering, combined with increased amounts of leverage, continued to be invested in revenue-generating real estate investments.
Commitment fee income (including commitment fee income – related parties) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase in commitment fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of an increase in loan commitments and option fees associated with our lot inventory as proceeds raised from our Offering, combined with increased amounts of leverage, continued to be invested in revenue-generating real estate investments.
We expect revenues to increase as we grow our portfolio with capital from additional debt or potential future equity offerings and as we reinvest proceeds from loans that are repaid.
Expenses
Interest expense related to our notes payable and lines of credit totaled approximately $2.9 million and $952,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily the result of the increase in our aggregate borrowings to approximately $142.3 million as of September 30, 2014, from approximately $3.6 million as of September 30, 2013. We increased our aggregate borrowings as of September 30, 2014 to fund the growth of our portfolio as well as our Tender Offer. Interest expense will fluctuate based on the timing of leverage introduced to the fund as well as the timing of draws and payments on our lines of credit. We expect interest expense to increase as we add additional debt to our balance sheet to grow our portfolio.
Management fees – related party expense represents the expense associated with the Management Fees discussed in Note I to our accompanying consolidated financial statements and was approximately $7.6 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in management fees – related party expense is primarily associated with the increase in our average invested assets as proceeds raised from our Offering continued to be invested in revenue-generating real estate investments, offset by a change in the calculation of management fees under the Advisory Agreement. In connection with the Listing, we terminated the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement and adopted the Advisory Agreement, which became effective upon our Listing on June 4, 2014. Management Fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include a combination of Advisory Fees paid pursuant to the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement and Base Management Fees and Incentive Management Fees paid pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. See Note B to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of Advisory Fees under the Pre-Listing Advisory Agreement and Base Management Fees and Incentive Management Fees under the Advisory Agreement. We expect management fees – related party expense to increase as we grow our shareholders’ equity and as our returns increase, resulting in an increase in the Incentive Management Fees. The Incentive Management Fee may cause significant fluctuations in management fees – related party expense in the future.
We incurred listing expenses totaling approximately $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which were primarily for legal, investment banking, NASDAQ fees, share-based compensation, consulting and other third-party service provider costs incurred by us in connection with our Listing and Tender Offer.
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $3.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. General and administrative expense consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees, transfer agent fees, insurance expense, compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily associated with an increase in legal and consulting fees, compensation expense associated with our chief operating officer, who was hired in February 2014, and an increase in amortization of debt financing costs corresponding to an increase in borrowings on our note payable and lines of credit. We expect general and administrative expense to increase as our portfolio grows, although quarterly amounts may fluctuate significantly.
General and administrative – related parties expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $(1.4) million and $6.3 million, respectively. General and administrative – related parties expense consists of Acquisition and Origination Fees, amortization of Debt Financing Fees, expense associated with Credit Enhancement Fees and the Advisor Expense Reimbursement. The decrease in general and administrative – related parties expense is primarily due to the fact that we no longer incur Acquisition and Origination Fees in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement entered into on May 29, 2014 and, in connection with the Listing, we reversed approximately $3.2 million in unpaid Acquisition and Origination Fees, as discussed further in Note I to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We expect general and administrative – related parties expense will decline from the historical run rate since we will no longer incur Acquisition and Origination Fees under the Advisory Agreement. Other components of general and administrative expense – related parties are expected to increase as our portfolio grows.

Cash Flow Analysis
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $30.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively, and primarily comprised net income offset partially by accrued interest receivable.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $91.4 million and $159.2 million, respectively, and primarily comprised originations of notesreceivable (including related party transactions) and loan participation interest – related parties, offset byreceipts from notes receivable (including related party transactions) and loan participation interest – related parties.
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were approximately $39.0 million and primarily comprised proceeds from notes payable and net borrowings on lines of credit offset by distributions to shareholders, purchases of treasury shares and an increase in restricted cash. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $186.9 million and primarily comprised proceeds from the issuance of common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to the Offering and shareholders’ distribution reinvestment, offset by payments of offering costs, net repayments of lines of credit, cash distributions to shareholders, a decrease in accrued liabilities – related parties and payments on notes payable.
Our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $12.0 million as of September 30, 2014, compared to approximately $64.4 million at September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity requirements will be affected by (1) outstanding loan funding obligations, (2) purchases of finished single-family residential lots, (3) our administrative expenses, (4) debt service on fund level and asset level indebtedness required to preserve our collateral position, (5) cash distributions (which have increased in connection with the termination of our DRIP, as discussed further in Note C to the accompanying consolidated financial statements) and (6) the completion of our Tender Offer. We expect that our liquidity will be provided by (1) loan interest, transaction fees and the receipt of credit enhancement fee payments, (2) loan principal payments, (3) sales of finished single-family residential lots, (4) credit lines available to us and (5) the Shelf Registration described further in Note K to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
There may be a delay in deploying cash on our balance sheet into real estate-related investments, which could result in a delay in our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences, if any. In addition, to the extent our investments are in development projects or in other properties that have significant capital requirements and/or delays in their ability to generate income, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted.
We may use debt as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition or origination of secured loans, acquisition of properties and the diversification of our portfolio. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for the purchase or origination of a single secured loan, the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Our board of trustees has adopted a policy to generally limit our fund level borrowings to 50% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. We may also use, when appropriate, leverage at the asset level. Asset level leverage is determined by the anticipated term of the investment and the cash flow expected by the investment. Asset level leverage is expected to range from 0% to 90% of the asset value.
Indebtedness will either be interest only or be amortized over the expected life of the asset. Our current typical indebtedness is a term loan or revolving credit facility permitting us to borrow up to an agreed-upon outstanding principal amount from senior commercial lenders who lend against a percentageof the fair market value of the assets which collateralize the loan. Indebtedness may be secured by a first priority lien upon specified assets or all of our existing and future acquired assets.
Our Advisor may, but is not required to, establish capital reserves out of cash flow generated from interest income from loans and income from other investments or out of non-liquidating net sale proceeds from the sale of our loans, properties and other investments. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for escrow of capital reserves.
Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the repayment of loans, sale of assets, undistributed funds from operations and proceeds from the Shelf Registration described further in Note K to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures. Although we believe that the resources stated above will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the near future, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose to raise funds through additional debt or equity offerings or other means.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, we enter into guarantees of debtor’s or affiliates’ borrowings and provide credit enhancements for the benefit of senior lenders in connection with our debtors and investments in partnerships (collectively referred to as “guarantees”), and account for such guarantees in accordance with FASB ASC 460-10Guarantees. Guarantees generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the debtor. A guarantee involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the guarantee.
Related Party Guarantees
In connection with the funding of some of our organization costs, on June 26, 2009, UMTH LD entered into the UMTH LD CTB LOC with CTB. Effective February 26, 2012, UMTH LD entered into a second loan modification agreement with CTB, which resulted in an extension of the maturity date on the UMTH LD CTB LOC to December 26, 2014. UMTH LD has a receivable from our Advisor for such costs. UMTH LD has assigned this receivable to CTB as security for the UMTH LD CTB LOC. In addition, the UMTH LD CTB LOC is secured by a collateral assignment of a first priority note and deed of trust held by a subsidiary of UMTH LD against a residential real estate project. As a condition to the modification entered into effective as of February 26, 2012, the Trust agreed to guaranty all obligations under the UMTH LD CTB LOC. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $4.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
Effective December 30, 2011, we entered into the Stoneleigh Guaranty for the benefit of Babson pursuant to which we guaranteed all amounts due associated with the Stoneleigh Construction Loan entered into between Stoneleigh and Babson. Pursuant to the Stoneleigh Construction Loan, Babson will provide Stoneleigh with up to approximately $25.0 million to finance the construction associated with a condominium project located in Dallas, Texas.UDF LOF owns a 75% interest in Stoneleigh. Our asset manager, UMTH LD, also serves as the asset manager of UDF LOF. The general partner of our Advisor also serves as the general partner of UMTH LD. UMTH LD controls 100% of the partnership interests of the general partner of UDF LOF. The Stoneleigh Construction Loan would have matured on December 31, 2014, but was paid in full on October 1, 2014. In consideration of us entering into the Stoneleigh Guaranty, we entered into a letter agreement with Stoneleigh which provides for Stoneleigh to pay us a monthly credit enhancement fee equal to 1/12thof 1% of the outstanding principal balance on the Stoneleigh Construction Loan at the end of each month as long as the Stoneleigh Guaranty remains outstanding. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $4.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Stoneleigh Construction Loan. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately $10,000 and $15,000, respectively, is included in commitment fee income – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the Stoneleigh Construction Loan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately $36,000 and $68,000, respectively, is included in commitment fee income – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the Stoneleigh Construction Loan.

Pursuant to the URHF Southwest Loan, Southwest will provide URHF with up to $15.0 million to finance the origination or acquisition of finished lot loans. In consideration of us entering into the URHF Guaranty, we entered into a letter agreement with URHF which provides for URHF to pay us a monthly credit enhancement fee equal to 1/12th of 1% of the outstanding principal balance on the URHF Southwest Loan at the end of each month. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $4.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was outstanding under the URHF Southwest Loan. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not recognize any commitment fee income – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the URHF Southwest Loan. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $12,000 and $24,000, respectively, is included in commitment fee income – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the URHF Southwest Loan. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $4,000 is included in accrued receivable – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the URHF Guaranty.
Effective July 18, 2014, we entered into the Rowe Lane Guaranty pursuant to which we guaranteed all amounts due associated with the RL Commerce Bank Loan entered into between Rowe Lane and Commerce Bank. Rowe Lane is a wholly owned subsidiary of UDF I. The general partner of our Advisor is the general partner of UMTH LD, our asset manager, and UMTH LD also serves as the asset manager of UDF I. The RL Commerce Bank Loan is secured by a first lien deed of trust on a 71.388 acre project. The RL Commerce Bank Loan matures on July 18, 2018. In consideration of us entering into the Rowe Lane Guaranty, we entered into a letter agreement with Rowe Lane which provides for Rowe Lane to pay us a monthly credit enhancement fee equal to 1/12th of 1% of the outstanding principal balance on the RL Commerce Bank Loan at the end of each month. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $3.2 million was outstanding under the RL Commerce Bank Loan. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately $8,000 is included in commitment fee income – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the Rowe Lane Guaranty. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $8,000 is included in accrued receivable – related parties in connection with the credit enhancement fee associated with the Rowe Lane Guaranty.
Effective August 29, 2014, we entered into the BRHG Guaranty pursuant to which we guaranteed all amounts due associated with the BRHG Sovereign Loan entered into between BRHG and Sovereign in connection with BRHG’s acquisition of Scott Felder Homes. BRHG is a wholly owned subsidiary of BR Homebuilding. John R. (“Bobby”) Ray, a trustee of UDF IV, Hollis Greenlaw, our Chief Executive Officer and a trustee of UDF IV, and Todd Etter, Chairman and partner of UMTH, each own approximately 25% of the common equityofBR Homebuilding and direct the management of BR Homebuilding. UMTH owns all of the limited partnership interests of UMTH LD, our asset manager. The Sovereign Guarantee was approved by a majority of our independent trustees on August 26, 2014. The BRHG Sovereign Loan matures on August 29, 2015, but may be extended under certain circumstances to August 27, 2020. The BRHG Sovereign Loan is secured by a pledge of all of BR Homebuilding’s interests in BRHG. In consideration of us entering into the BRHG Guaranty, we entered into a letter agreement with BRHG which provides for BRHG to pay us a monthly credit enhancement fee equal to 1/12th of 1% of the outstanding principal balance on the BRHG Sovereign Loan at the end of each month. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $25.0 million was outstanding under the BRHG Sovereign Loan.

Contractual Obligations
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we had no material changes to contractual obligations, other than loan commitments discussed above in “Lot Inventory and Loan Portfolio” and lines of credit discussed in Note F to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. A significant market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in interest rates may impact both demand for our real estate finance products and the rate of interest on the loans we make. Another significant market risk is the market price of finished homes and lots. The market price of finished homes or lots is driven by the demand for new single-family homes and the supply of unsold homes and finished lots in a market. The change in one or both of these factors can have a material impact on the cash realized by our borrowers and resulting collectability of our loans and interest.
Demand for our secured loans and the amount of interest we collect with respect to such loans depends on the ability of borrowers of real estate construction and development loans to sell single-family lots to homebuilders and the ability of homebuilders to sell homes to homebuyers.
The single-family lot and residential homebuilding market is highly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels. As interest rates available to borrowers increase, demand for secured loans decreases, and vice versa. Housing demand is also adversely affected by increases in housing prices and unemployment and by decreases in the availability of mortgage financing. In addition, from time to time, there are various proposals for changes in the federal income tax laws, some of which might remove or limit the deduction for home mortgage interest. If effective mortgage interest rates increase and/or the ability or willingness of prospective buyers to purchase new homes is adversely affected, the demand for new homes may also be negatively affected. As a consequence, demand for and the performance of our real estate finance products may also be adversely impacted.
We seek to mitigate our single-family lot and residential homebuilding market risk by closely monitoring economic, project, market and homebuilding fundamentals. We review a variety of data and forecast sources, including public reports of homebuilders, mortgage originators and real estate finance companies; financial statements of developers; project appraisals; proprietary reports on primary and secondary housing market data, including land, finished lot, and new home inventory and prices and concessions, if any; and information provided by government agencies, the Federal Reserve Bank, the National Association of Home Builders, the National Association of Realtors, public and private universities, corporate debt rating agencies, and institutional investment banks regarding the homebuilding industry and the prices of and supply and demand for single-family residential homes.
In addition, we further seek to mitigate our single-family lot and residential homebuilding market risk by having UMTH LD assign an individual asset manager to each secured note or equity investment. This individual asset manager is responsible for monitoring the progress and performance of the builder or developer and the project, as well as assessing the status of the marketplace and value of our collateral securing repayment of our loan or equity investment.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2014, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of September 30, 2014, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to, and none of our assets are subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a result of the termination of the Offering and the listing of our shares on NASDAQ, the following risk factors, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, are no longer material and are hereby deleted:
| · | The anticipated listing of our shares on NASDAQ is subject to certain conditions, and no assurance can be given that our shares will be listed. Until such time that our shares are listed, if ever, there is no public trading market for our shares. |
| · | We have suspended our redemption program, which limits our shareholders’ ability to sell their shares. |
| · | There is no public trading market for our shares; therefore, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their shares. If a shareholder is able to sell their shares, the shareholder may have to sell them at a substantial discount from the public offering price. In addition, we do not have a fixed liquidation date, and the shareholder may have to hold their shares indefinitely. |
| · | Shareholders are limited in their ability to sell their shares pursuant to our redemption program. |
| · | If shareholders are able to resell their shares to us pursuant to our redemption program, they will likely receive substantially less than the fair market value for their shares. |
| · | A shareholder’s interest in us may be diluted if the price we pay in respect of shares redeemed under our share redemption program exceeds the net asset value of our shares. |
| · | We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of the Offering. |
| · | Our Advisor’s subordinated incentive fee may create an incentive for our Advisor to make speculative investments. |
| · | Our declaration of trust includes a provision that may discourage a person from launching a tender offer for our shares. |
| · | If our shareholders fail to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code as a result of an investment in our common shares of beneficial interest, they could be subject to criminal and civil penalties. |
There have been no material changes to the remaining risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 except for the following:
Our share price may be volatile, and investors may be unable to sell their shares at or above the current public offering price.
The market price of our common shares of beneficial interest has been and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the following:
| · | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| · | decreases in market valuations of similar companies; |
| · | the failure of securities analysts to cover our common shares or changes in financial estimates by analysts who cover us, our competitors or our industry; |
| · | failure by us or our competitors to meet analysts’ projections or guidance that we or our competitors may give to the market; and |
| · | fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes. |
Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes and international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common shares.
In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have become subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business. All of these factors could cause the market price of our shares to decline, and shareholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Our Advisor and its affiliates will have equity interests and/or profit participations in developments we finance and may have a greater incentive to make loans with respect to such developments and/or provide credit enhancements to preserve and/or enhance their economic interest in such development.
We expect to make loans and/or provide credit enhancement transactions to affiliates of our Advisor or asset manager. In connection with making such loans or providing such credit enhancements, we will obtain an appraisal concerning the underlying property from an independent expert who is in the business of rendering opinions regarding the value of assets of the type held by us and who is qualified to perform such work. In addition, a majority of the trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, who are not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve all transactions with our Advisor or its affiliates as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. We also will obtain a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy or a commitment as to the priority of the secured loan as part of our underwriting process. If an affiliate of our Advisor has an equity interest or participation interest in a development that requires a loan or credit enhancement, our Advisor may have a greater incentive to make a loan with respect to such development to preserve and/or enhance its economic interest in such development. As of September 30, 2014, our 21 loans to related parties have an outstanding balance of approximately $87.4 million.
We will face risks relating to joint ventures with our affiliates and third parties that are not present with other methods of investing in properties and secured loans.
We may enter into joint ventures with certain of our affiliates, as well as third parties, for the funding of loans or the acquisition of properties. We may also purchase loan participation interests or loans through joint ventures or in partnerships or other co-ownership arrangements with our affiliates, the sellers of the loans, affiliates of the sellers, developers or other persons. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in secured loans, including, for example:
| · | that such affiliate, co-venturer or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or that become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, which may cause us to disagree with our affiliate, co-venturer or partner as to the best course of action with respect to the investment and which disagreement may not be resolved to our satisfaction; |
| · | that such affiliate, co-venturer or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives, which may cause us not to realize the return anticipated from our investment; or |
| · | that it may be difficult for us to sell our interest in any such participation, co-venture or partnership. |
Moreover, in the event we determine to foreclose on the collateral underlying a non-performing investment, we may be required to obtain the cooperation of our affiliate, co-venturer or partner to do so. We anticipate that we will participate with our affiliates in certain development projects where we and our affiliates make loans to the borrower, in which case we expect to enter into an inter-creditor agreement that will define our rights and priority with respect to the underlying collateral. Our inability to foreclose on a property acting alone may cause significant delay in the foreclosure process, in which time the value of the property may decline.
As of September 30, 2014, we have not entered into any joint ventures. As of September 30, 2014, we are participating in 11 loans originated by affiliates, with an outstanding balance of approximately $40.2 million.
Investment opportunities may not be allocated equitably among us and the other United Development Funding programs.
Our Advisor and our asset manager are affiliates of the other United Development Funding programs (UDF I, UDF II, UDF III, UDF LOF and United Development Funding Income Fund V, a Maryland real estate investment trust that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust under federal income tax laws (“UDF V”)), all of which engage in the same or similar businesses in which we engage. Our Advisor and our asset manager seek to equitably allocate among us and these other United Development Funding programs all investment opportunities of which they become aware. We have entered into an Allocation Policy Agreement pursuant to which we may invest in the same loans and transactions as the other United Development Funding programs, except that UDF V will not invest with us or other affiliates in the same loans. However, pursuant to the Allocation Policy Agreement, investment opportunities may be allocated among the United Development Funding programs based upon each fund’s risk profile and the cash available for investment in each fund. Circumstances may arise, due to availability of capital or other reasons, when our Advisor and our asset manager are not able to equitably allocate investments to us. Our Advisor and our asset manager may determine that we will not invest in otherwise suitable investments in which one or more of the other United Development Funding programs invest, in order for us to avoid unrelated business taxable income, or “UBTI,” which is generally defined as income derived from any unrelated trade or business carried on by a tax-exempt entity or by a partnership of which it is a member, and which is generally subject to taxation. We cannot assure our shareholders that we will be able to invest in all suitable opportunities of which our Advisor and our asset manager become aware.
Our Advisor, our asset manager and their affiliates may form other companies that will engage in the same businesses as we do, and investment opportunities may not be allocated equitably among us, the other United Development Funding programs and such other companies.
Our Advisor, our asset manager and their affiliates may engage in additional real estate-related activities in the future, including the activities in which we engage, and may form new entities to engage in these activities. When new companies are formed for the purpose of engaging in the businesses in which we engage, our Advisor and our asset manager intend to equitably allocate among us, the other United Development Funding programs, and such other companies all investment opportunities of which they become aware. We cannot assure our shareholders that the allocation of investment opportunities will be equitable.
Our Advisor faces additional conflicts of interest relating to management relationships with affiliated entities and may make decisions that disproportionately benefit one or more of our affiliated entities instead of us.
Our Advisor also serves as the advisor for UMT and is an affiliate of the other United Development Funding programs, all of which engage in the same businesses as us. Our asset manager also serves as the asset manager for the other United Development Funding programs, but does not serve as the asset manager for UMT. Because our Advisor or our asset manager have advisory and management arrangements with UMT and the other United Development Funding programs, it is likely that they will encounter opportunities to invest in or acquire interests in secured loans, participations and/or properties to the benefit of UMT or one of the United Development Funding programs, but not others. Our Advisor or our asset manager may make decisions to finance certain properties, which decisions might disproportionately benefit UMT or another United Development Funding program other than us. In such event, our results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our shareholders could be adversely affected.
Because our Advisor and its affiliates are affiliated with UMT, UDF I, UDF II, UDF III, UDF V and UDF LOF, agreements and transactions among the parties with respect to any loan participation among two or more of such parties will not have the benefit of arm’s length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. Under these loan participation arrangements, we may not have a first priority position with respect to the underlying collateral. In the event that a co-venturer has a right of first refusal to buy out the other co-venturer, it may be unable to finance such buy-out at that time. In addition, to the extent that our co-venturer is an affiliate of our Advisor, certain conflicts of interest will exist. As of September 30, 2014, we are participating in 11 loans originated by affiliates, with an outstanding balance of approximately $40.2 million.
Investments in land development loans present additional risks compared to loans secured by operating properties.
We may invest in loans to purchase unimproved real property. As of September 30, 2014, we have invested 0% of our assets in such loans. Unimproved real property is generally defined as real property which has the following three characteristics: (a) an equity interest in real property which was not acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other income; (b) has no development or construction in process on such land; and (c) no development or construction on such land is planned in good faith to commence within one year. Land development mortgage loans may be riskier than loans secured by improved properties, because:
| · | until disposition, the property does not generate separate income for the borrower to make loan payments; |
| · | the completion of planned development may require additional development financing by the borrower, which may not be available; |
| · | depending on the velocity or amount of lot sales to homebuilders, demand for lots may decrease, causing the price of the lots to decrease; |
| · | depending on the velocity or amount of lot sales to developers or homebuilders, demand for land may decrease, causing the price of the land to decrease; |
| · | there is no assurance that we will be able to sell unimproved land promptly if we are forced to foreclose upon it; and |
| · | lot sale contracts are generally not “specific performance” contracts, and the borrower may have no recourse if a homebuilder elects not to purchase lots. |
Investments in second, mezzanine and wraparound mortgage loans present additional risks compared to loans secured by first deeds of trust.
We expect that we will be the junior lender with respect to some of our loans. We may invest in (a) second mortgage loans (some of which are also secured by pledges), which investments represent approximately 42% of our outstanding loans as of September 30, 2014; (b) co-investment loans (which are secured by pledges and collateral-sharing arrangements permitting us to share in the proceeds of second liens held by affiliates), which investments represent 0% of our outstanding loans as of September 30, 2014; (c) mezzanine loans (which are secured by pledges), which investments represent approximately 2% of our outstanding loans as of September 30, 2014; and (d) wraparound mortgage loans, which investments represent 0% of our outstanding loans as of September 30, 2014. A wraparound, or all-inclusive, mortgage loan is a loan in which the lender combines the remainder of an old loan with a new loan at an interest rate that blends the rate charged on the old loan with the current market rate. In a second mortgage loan and in a mezzanine loan, our rights as a lender, including our rights to receive payment on foreclosure, will be subject to the rights of the prior mortgage lender. In a wraparound mortgage loan, our rights will be similarly subject to the rights of any prior mortgage lender, but the aggregate indebtedness evidenced by our loan documentation will be the prior mortgage loans in addition to the new funds we invest. Under a wraparound mortgage loan, we would receive all payments from the borrower and forward to any senior lender its portion of the payments we receive. Because all of these types of loans are subject to the prior mortgage lender’s right to payment on foreclosure, we incur a greater risk when we invest in each of these types of loans.
Many of our loans will require balloon payments, which are riskier than loans with fully amortized payments.
We anticipate that substantially all of our loans will have balloon payments or reductions to principal tied to net cash from the sale of developed lots and the release formula created by the senior lender (i.e., the conditions under which principal is repaid to the senior lender, if any), and as of September 30, 2014, 100% of our loans have balloon payments or reductions to principal tied to net cash. A balloon payment is a large principal balance that is payable after a period of time during which the borrower has repaid none or only a small portion of the principal balance. Loans with balloon payments are riskier than loans with even payments of principal over an extended time period, such as 15 or 30 years, because the borrower’s repayment often depends on its ability to refinance the loan or sell the developed lots profitably when the loan comes due. There are no specific criteria used in evaluating the credit quality of borrowers for mortgage loans requiring balloon payments. Furthermore, a substantial period of time may elapse between the review of the financial statements of the borrower and the date when the balloon payment is due. As a result, there is no assurance that a borrower will have sufficient resources to make a balloon payment when due.
The interest-only loans we make or acquire may be subject to greater risk of default and there may not be sufficient funds or assets remaining to satisfy our loans, which may result in losses to us.
We will make and acquire interest-only loans or loans requiring reductions to accrued interest tied to net cash, and as of September 30, 2014, 100% of the loans we have made and acquired are interest-only loans or loans requiring reductions to accrued interest tied to net cash. Interest-only loans typically cost the borrower less in monthly loan payments than fully-amortizing loans which require a payment on principal as well as interest. This lower cost may enable a borrower to acquire a more expensive property than if the borrower was entering into a fully-amortizing mortgage loan. Borrowers utilizing interest-only loans are dependent on the appreciation of the value of the underlying property, and the sale or refinancing of such property, to pay down the interest-only loan since none of the principal balance is being paid down with the borrowers’ monthly payments. If the value of the underlying property declines due to market or other factors, it is likely that the borrower would hold a property that is worth less than the mortgage balance on the property. Thus, there may be greater risk of default by borrowers who enter into interest-only loans. In addition, interest-only loans include an interest reserve in the loan amount. If such reserve is required to be funded due to a borrower’s non-payment, the loan-to-value ratio for that loan will increase, possibly above generally acceptable levels. In the event of a defaulted interest-only loan, we would acquire the underlying collateral which may have declined in value. In addition, there are significant costs and delays associated with the foreclosure process. Any of these factors may result in losses to us.
Larger loans result in less portfolio diversity and may increase risk, and the concentration of loans with a common borrower may increase our risk.
We intend to invest in loans that individually constitute an average amount equal to the lesser of (a) 1% to 3% of the total amount raised in the Offering, or (b) $2.5 million to $15 million. However, we may invest in larger loans depending on such factors as our performance and the value of the collateral. These larger loans are riskier because they may reduce our ability to diversify our loan portfolio. Our largest loan to a single borrower will not exceed an amount equal to 20% of the total capital contributions raised in the Offering, and as of September 30, 2014, our largest loan to a single borrower is equal to approximately 6% of the total capital contributions raised in the Offering.
The concentration of loans with a common borrower may increase our risks.
We may invest in multiple mortgage loans that share a common borrower or loans to related borrowers. As of September 30, 2014, we have invested approximately 63% of the outstanding balance of our portfolio in 76 loans to our largest group of related borrowers. The bankruptcy, insolvency or other inability of any borrower that is the subject of multiple loans to pay interest or repay principal on its loans would have adverse consequences on our income and reduce the amount of funds available for distribution to investors. In addition, we expect to be dependent on a limited number of borrowers for a large portion of our business. The more concentrated our portfolio is with one or a few borrowers, the greater credit risk we face. The loss of any one of these borrowers would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We have made a loan which is not secured by real estate or pledges of equity interests, and we may make additional unsecured loans in the future.
On August 29, 2014, we made an $11.5 million unsecured subordinate loan to BRHG, an affiliated party, for the purpose of partially financing the acquisition by BRHG of Scott Felder Homes, a homebuilder operating in the Austin and San Antonio, Texas markets. Our loan is not secured by real estate or by a pledge of the equity interest in the borrower. Loans that are not secured are inherently riskier than secured loans. In the event that Scott Felder Homes performs poorly, the borrower may be unable to repay our loan, and our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders could be adversely affected.
If we were found to have violated applicable usury laws, we would be subject to penalties and other possible risks.
Usury laws generally regulate the amount of interest that may lawfully be charged on indebtedness. Each state has its own distinct usury laws. We believe that our loans will not violate applicable usury laws (as of September 30, 2014, the highest interest rate we have charged on an annualized basis has not exceeded 18%). There is a risk, however, that a court could determine that our loans do violate applicable usury laws. If we were found to have violated applicable usury laws, we could be subject to penalties, including fines equal to three times the amount of usurious interest collected and restitution to the borrower. Additionally, usury laws often provide that a loan that violates usury laws is unenforceable. If we are subject to penalties or restitution or if our loan agreements are adjudged unenforceable by a court, it would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and we would have difficulty making distributions to our shareholders.
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to recover claims against our independent trustees are limited, which could reduce our and our shareholders’ recovery against them if they negligently cause us to incur losses.
Maryland law provides that a trustee has no liability in that capacity if he performs his duties in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our declaration of trust provides for indemnification of our directors to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. As a result, we and our shareholders may have more limited rights against our independent trustees than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our and our shareholders’ recovery from these persons if they act in a negligent manner. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our independent trustees (as well as by our other trustees, officers, employees of our Advisor and agents) in some cases, which would decrease the cash otherwise available for distributions to our shareholders.
Shareholders have limited control over changes in our policies and operations.
Our board of trustees determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of trustees may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the shareholders. Under our declaration of trust, the Maryland REIT Law and the Maryland General Corporation Law, our shareholders currently have a right to vote only on the following matters:
| · | the election or removal of trustees; |
| · | the amendment of our declaration of trust, except that our board of trustees may amend our declaration of trust without shareholder approval to: |
| · | increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares; |
| · | increase or decrease the number of the shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue; |
| · | effect certain reverse stock splits; or |
| · | qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code or the Maryland REIT Law; |
| · | certain mergers, consolidations and sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of our assets. |
All other matters are subject to the discretion of our board of trustees.
The market price for our common shares varies, and investors should view our common shares only as a long-term investment.
Although our common shares are listed on the NASDAQ, our common shares may not be actively traded. We cannot assure our shareholders that there will be an active trading market for our common shares at any time in the future. Even if there is an active trading market for our common shares, we cannot assure our shareholders that they will be able to sell all of their common shares at one time or at a favorable price, if at all.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On February 3, 2014, our board of trustees appointed Stacey H. Dwyer as our Chief Operating Officer, effective February 17, 2014 and in connection with this appointment, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Dwyer effective as of February 17, 2014.
Pursuant to her employment agreement, Ms. Dwyer’s compensation includes (a) an initial equity award of 82,410 common shares, one-quarter of which will vest annually over four years, subject to Ms. Dwyer’s continued employment with us through such date and (b) an annual equity grant of 12,500 common shares on each anniversary date of the effective date of the employment agreement, with each annual equity grant vesting five years after the applicable grant date, subject to Ms. Dwyer’s continued employment with us through such date. From the date of grant until such time as they become vested and payable (the “Restricted Period”), the shares granted to Ms. Dwyer pursuant to her employment agreement (the “Restricted Shares”) may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of. All Restricted Shares were issued in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The following table reflects Restricted Shares that have been granted to Ms. Dwyer and shares that have vested or have been forfeited by Ms. Dwyer for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
