Organization	READY CAPITAL CORPORATION NOTES TO the CONS OLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( Unaudited) Note 1 – Organization On September 26, 2018, Sutherland Asset Management Corporation filed Articles of Amendment to its charter (the “Articles of Amendment”) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, to change its name to Ready Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “Ready Capital” and together with its subsidiaries “we”, “us” and “our”), a Maryland corporation. In connection with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol on the New York Stock Exchange changed from “SLD” to “RC” for shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company is externally managed and advised by Waterfall Asset Management, LLC (“Waterfall” or the “Manager”), an investment advisor registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. Sutherland Partners, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company owned approximately 97.6% and 96.5%, of the operating partnership units (“OP units”) of the Operating Partnership, respectively. The Company, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the Operating Partnership, and the limited partners of the Operating Partnership, in such capacity, have no authority to transact business for, or participate in the management activities of the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership. The Company is a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances and services small to medium balance commercial (“SBC”) loans, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, residential mortgage loans, and to a lesser extent, mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) collateralized primarily by SBC loans, or other real estate-related investments. SBC loans represent a special category of commercial loans, sharing both commercial and residential loan characteristics. SBC loans are generally secured by first mortgages on commercial properties, but because SBC loans are also often accompanied by collateralization of personal assets and subordinate lien positions, aspects of residential mortgage credit analysis are utilized in the underwriting process. The Company reports its results of operations through the following four business segments: i) Loan Acquisitions , ii) SBC Originations , iii) SBA Originations, Acquisitions and Servicing , and iv) Residential Mortgage Banking, with the remaining amounts recorded in Corporate- Other . Our acquisition and origination platforms consist of the following four operating segments: · Loan Acquisitions . We acquire performing and non-performing SBC loans as part of our business strategy. We hold performing SBC loans to term, and we seek to maximize the value of the non-performing SBC loans acquired by us through borrower based resolution strategies. We typically acquire non-performing loans at a discount to their unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) when we believe that resolution of the loans will provide attractive risk-adjusted returns. · SBC Originations . We originate SBC loans secured by stabilized or transitional investor properties using multiple loan origination channels through our wholly-owned subsidiary, ReadyCap Commercial, LLC (“RCC”). Additionally, as part of this segment, we originate and service multi-family loan products under the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac” and the “Freddie Mac program”). These originated loans are generally held-for-investment or placed into securitization structures. · SBA Originations, Acquisitions, and Servicing . We acquire, originate and service owner-occupied loans guaranteed by the SBA under its Section 7(a) loan program (the “SBA Section 7(a) Program”) through our wholly-owned subsidiary, ReadyCap Lending (“RCL”). We hold an SBA license as one of only 14 non-bank Small Business Lending Companies (“SBLCs”) and have been granted preferred lender status by the SBA. In the future, we may originate SBC loans for real estate under the SBA 504 loan program, under which the SBA guarantees subordinated, long-term financing. These originated loans are either held-for-investment, placed into securitization structures, or sold. · Residential Mortgage Banking . In connection with our merger with ZAIS Financial on October 31, 2016, we added a residential mortgage loan origination segment through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GMFS, LLC ("GMFS"). GMFS originates residential mortgage loans eligible to be purchased, guaranteed or insured by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Freddie Mac, Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) through retail, correspondent and broker channels. These originated loans are then sold to third parties. On March 29, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Owens Realty Mortgageg, Inc. (“ORM”), through a merger of ORM with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for approximately 12.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued was based on an exchange ratio of 1.441 per share. The total purchase price for the merger of $179.3 million consists exclusively of the Company’s common stock issued in exchange for shares of ORM common stock and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock, and was based on the $14.67 closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 29, 2019. Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company’s historical stockholders owned approximately 72% of the combined company’s stock, while historical ORM stockholders owned approximately 28% of the combined company’s stock. The acquisition of ORM is expected to increase the Company’s equity capitalization, which will support continued growth of the Company’s platform and execution of the Company’s strategy, and provide the Company with improved scale, liquidity and capital alternatives, including additional borrowing capacity. Also, the stockholder base resulting from the acquisition of ORM is expected to enhance the trading volume and liquidity for our stockholders and support a greater level of institutional investor interest in our businesses. The combination of the Company and ORM can potentially create cost savings and efficiencies over time resulting from the allocation of operating expenses over a larger portfolio and allow the Company to potentially harvest significant value from ORM's real property assets The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), commencing with its first taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company distributes at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of distributions to shareholders.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)—as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Basis of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts and results of operations of the Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidations. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Reclassifications Certain amounts reported for the prior periods in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period’s presentation. As described in Note 4, the impact of the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash , resulted in revisions to prior period numbers to conform with the updated accounting standard and our current period’s presentation. As described in further detail below, effective during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company revised its presentation of residential mortgage banking activities and variable expenses on residential mortgage banking activities within our Consolidated Statements of Income and Note 10, which no longer presents these amounts as a net amount. Prior period numbers were revised to conform to the new presentation and to be consistent with our current period’s presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company has accounted for cash and cash equivalents in accordance with ASC 305, Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We deposit our cash with institutions that we believe to have highly valuable and defensible business franchises, strong financial fundamentals, and predictable and stable operating environments. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $0.6 million in money market mutual funds, and substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents not held in money market funds were comprised of cash balances with banks that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of March 31, 2019 this balance was zero. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents cash held by the Company as collateral against its derivatives, borrowings under repurchase agreements, borrowings under credit facilities with counterparties, construction and mortgage escrows, as well as cash held for remittance on loans serviced for third parties. Restricted cash is not available for general corporate purposes, but may be applied against amounts due to counterparties under existing swaps and repurchase agreement borrowings, or returned to the Company when the restriction requirements no longer exist or at the maturity of the swap or repurchase agreement. Loans, net Loans, net consists of loans, held-for-investment, net of allowance for loan losses and loans, held at fair value. Loans, held-for-investment Loans, held-for-investment are loans acquired from third parties (“acquired loans”), loans originated by ReadyCap that we do not intend to sell, or securitized loans that were previously originated by ReadyCap. Securitized loans remain on the Company’s balance sheet because the securitization vehicles are consolidated under ASC 810. Acquired loans are recorded at cost at the time they are acquired. Acquired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”) and referred to as “purchased credit impaired loans” (PCI loans) if both of the following conditions are met as of the acquisition date: (i) there is evidence of deterioration in credit quality of the loan since its origination and (ii) it is probable that we will not collect all contractual cash flows on the loan. Acquired loans without evidence of these conditions, securitized loans, and loans originated by ReadyCap that we do not intend to sell are accounted for under ASC 310-10, Receivables- Overall , (“ASC 310-10”) and are referred to as “Non-purchased credit impaired loans” (non-PCI loans). Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Loans The estimated cash flow expected for each loan is estimated at the time the loan is acquired. The excess of the cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans, measured as of the acquisition date, over the initial investment is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method of accretion. The difference between contractually required payments as of the acquisition date and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference and is not accreted over time. The Company estimates expected cash flows to be collected over the life of individual PCI loans on a quarterly basis. If the Company determines that discounted expected cash flows have decreased, the PCI loans would be considered impaired, which would result in a provision for loan loss and a corresponding increase in the allowance for loan losses. If discounted expected cash flows have increased, or improved, in subsequent evaluations, the increase in cash flows is first used to reverse the amount of any related allowance for loan losses before the yield is adjusted. Additionally, the Company will increase the accretable yield to account for the increase in expected cash flows. The estimate of the amount and timing of cash flows for our PCI loans is based on historical information available and expected future performance of the loans, and may include the timing of expected future cash flows, prepayment speed, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, extent of credit support available, Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, geographic concentrations, as well as reports by credit rating agencies, such as Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”), or Fitch, general market assessments and dialogue with market participants. As a result, substantial judgment is used in the analysis to determine the expected cash flows. Non-PCI Loans The Company uses the interest method to recognize, as a constant effective yield adjustment, the difference between the initial recorded investment in the loan and the principal amount of the loan. The calculation of the constant effective yield necessary to apply the interest method uses the payment terms required by the loan contract, and prepayments of principal are not anticipated to shorten the loan term. For non-PCI loans, recognition of interest income is suspended when any loans are placed on non-accrual status. Generally, all classes of loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest has been delinquent for 90 days or when full collection is determined not to be probable. Interest income accrued, but not collected, at the date loans are placed on non-accrual status is reversed and subsequently recognized only to the extent it is received in cash or until it qualifies for return to accrual status. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of loan principal, all cash received is applied to reduce the carrying value of such loans. Loans are restored to accrual status only when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. Loans, held at fair value Loans, held at fair value represent certain loans originated by ReadyCap for which the Company has elected the fair value option. Interest is recognized as interest income on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income when earned and deemed collectible. Changes in fair value are recurring and are reported as net unrealized gain (loss) on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is intended to provide for credit losses inherent in the loans, held-for-investment portfolio and is reviewed quarterly for adequacy considering credit quality indicators, including probable and historical losses, collateral values, loan-to-value ratio and economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses is increased through provisions for loan losses charged to earnings and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. We determine the allowance for loan losses by measuring credit impairment on (1) an individual basis for non-accrual status loans, and (2) on a collective basis for all other loans with similar risk characteristics. The allowance for loan losses on an individual basis is assessed when a loan is on non-accrual and the recoverability of the loan is less than its carrying value. The Company considers the loans to be collateral dependent and relies on the current fair value of the collateral as the basis for determining impairment. Loans that are not assessed individually for impairment are assessed on a collective basis. For the acquired loans we perform a historical analysis on both cumulative defaults and severity upon default for all loans that were current as of November 4, 2013 when the Company was formed or acquired thereafter. We calculated the cumulative default and loss severity on the acquired loans with delinquency statuses of 90+ days and applied those factors to the current acquired loan population. For the originated loans, our historical data shows a minimal number of defaults, therefore we used an analysis performed on the latest ReadyCap securitization to determine the likelihood of default and to determine loss severity we stressed collateral value to the current principal balance based on the total valuation decline of SBC properties from the peak valuation in 2007 through their post-crisis low in 2010. The determination of allowances for SBA loans is based upon the assignment of a probability of default on a rating scale. Each loan rating is re-evaluated at least annually for loan performance, underlying borrower financial performance or data from third party credit bureaus. The probability of default is compared to the underlying collateral value securing each loan and compared to each loan carrying value to calculate a loss estimate. Collectively the estimated probability of default and recovery value is compared to actual portfolio default and recovery rates as well as economic factors and adjusted when needed. The determination of whether an allowance for loan loss is necessary is based on whether or not there is a decrease in cash flows based on consideration of factual information available at the time of assessment as well as management’s estimates of the future performance and projected amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected on the loan. While we have a formal methodology to determine the adequate and appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, estimates of inherent loan losses involve judgment and assumptions as to various factors, including current economic conditions. Our determination of adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on quarterly evaluations of the above factors. Accordingly, the provision for loan losses will vary from period to period based on management's ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Non-accrual loans Non-accrual loans are the loans for which we are not accruing or accreting interest income. Non-accrual loans include non-PCI loans when principal or interest has been delinquent for 90 days or more or when it is determined that full collection of contractual cash flows is not probable. Additionally, PCI loans for which the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the timing and amount of expected cash flows are considered to be non-accrual loans. Troubled Debt Restructurings In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant concessions for a period of time to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider, the related loans are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). These modified terms may include interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, term extensions, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize our economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. For modifications where we forgive principal, the entire amount of such principal forgiveness is immediately charged off. Loans classified as TDRs, are considered impaired loans. Other than resolutions such as foreclosures and sales, we may remove loans held-for-investment from TDR classification, but only if they have been refinanced or restructured at market terms and qualify as a new loan. Generally, all loans modified in a TDR are placed or remain on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring. However, certain accruing loans modified in a TDR that are current at the time of restructuring may remain on accrual status if payment in full under the restructured terms is expected. Impaired loans The Company considers a loan to be impaired when the Company does not expect to collect all of the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreements. This includes certain non-PCI loans where we do not expect to collect all of the contractual interest and principal payments, as well as PCI loans, which experienced credit deterioration prior to acquisition. Loans, held for sale, at fair value Loans, held for sale, at fair value are loans that are expected to be sold to third parties in the near term. Interest is recognized as interest income on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income when earned and deemed collectible. For loans originated by our SBC originations and SBA originations segments, changes in fair value are recurring and are reported as net unrealized gain (loss) on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. For originated SBA loans, the guaranteed portion is held for sale, at fair value. For loans originated by GMFS, changes in fair value are reported as residential mortgage banking activities on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. Mortgage backed securities, at fair value The Company accounts for MBS as trading securities and are carried at fair value under ASC 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. Our MBS portfolio is comprised of asset-backed securities collateralized by interest in or obligations backed by pools of SBC loans. Purchases and sales of MBS are recorded on the trade date. Our MBS securities pledged as collateral against borrowings under repurchase agreements are included in mortgage backed securities, at fair value on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. MBS are recorded at fair value as determined by market prices provided by independent broker dealers or other independent valuation service providers. The fair values assigned to these investments are based upon available information and may not reflect amounts that may be realized. We generally intend to hold our investment in MBS to generate interest income; however, we have and may continue to sell certain of our investment securities as part of the overall management of our assets and liabilities and operating our business. Loans eligible for repurchase from Ginnie Mae When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase Ginnie Mae pool loans it has previously sold (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the Company then records the right to repurchase the loan as an asset and liability in its unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts reflect the unpaid principal balance of the loans. Derivative instruments, at fair value Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we utilize derivative financial instruments, currently comprised of credit default swaps (“CDSs”), interest rate swaps, and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) as part of our risk management. The Company accounts for derivative instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedges . All derivatives are reported as either assets or liabilities on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets at the estimated fair value with the changes in the fair value recorded in earnings, unless hedge accounting is elected. Although permitted under certain circumstances, generally the Company does not offset cash collateral receivable or payables against our gross derivative positions. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cash collateral receivable for derivatives is $7.0 million and $11.6. million, respectively, and is included in restricted cash on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. Interest Rate Swap Agreements An interest rate swap is an agreement between two counterparties to exchange periodic interest payments where one party to the contract makes a fixed-rate payment in exchange for a floating-rate payment from the other party. The dollar amount each party pays is an agreed-upon periodic interest rate multiplied by some pre-determined dollar principal (notional amount). No principal (notional amount) is exchanged between the two parties at trade initiation date. Only interest payments are exchanged. Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value adjustments are reported within net unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments, while the related interest income or interest expense, are reported within net realized gain (loss) on financial instruments in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) IRLCs are agreements under which GMFS agrees to extend credit to a borrower under certain specified terms and conditions in which the interest rate and the maximum amount of the loan are set prior to funding. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets and derivative liabilities, respectively, are measured based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted government-sponsored enterprise Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Government National Mortgage Association ((“Ginnie Mae”), collectively, “GSEs”) or MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The realized and unrealized gains or losses are reported on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income as residential mortgage banking activities. IRLCs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. CDS CDS are contracts between two parties, a protection buyer who makes fixed periodic payments, and a protection seller, who collects the premium in exchange for making the protection buyer whole in the case of default. The fair value adjustments are reported within net unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments, while the related interest income or interest expense, are reported within net realized gain/(loss) on financial instruments in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. CDS are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Hedge Accounting As a general rule, hedge accounting is permitted where the Company is exposed to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, that causes changes in the fair value of an asset or liability or variability in the expected future cash flows of an existing asset, liability, or forecasted transaction that may affect earnings. To qualify as an accounting hedge under the hedge accounting rules (versus an economic hedge where hedge accounting is not applied), a hedging relationship must be highly effective in offsetting the risk designated as being hedged. We use cash flow hedges to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows from forecasted transactions, including the anticipated issuance of securitized debt obligations. ASC 815 requires that a forecasted transaction be identified as either: 1) a single transaction, or 2) a group of individual transactions that share the same risk exposures for which they are designated as being hedged. Hedges of forecasted transactions are considered cash flow hedges since the price is not fixed, hence involve variability of cash flows. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss) ("OCI"), and is reclassified out of OCI and into the Consolidated Statements of Income when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. These amounts are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item, primarily interest expense (for hedges of interest rate risk). The ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. If the hedge relationship is terminated, then the value of the derivative recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) ("AOCI") is recognized in earnings when the cash flows that were hedged affect earnings, so long as the forecasted transaction remains probable of occurring. For hedge relationships that are discontinued because a forecasted transaction is probable of not occurring according to the original hedge forecast (including an additional two month window), any related derivative values recorded in AOCI are immediately recognized in earnings. Hedge accounting is generally terminated at the debt issuance date because we are no longer exposed to cash flow variability subsequent to issuance. Accumulated amounts recorded in AOCI at that date are then released to earnings in future periods to reflect the difference in 1) the fixed rates economically locked in at the inception of the hedge and 2) the actual fixed rates established in the debt instrument at issuance. Because of the effects of the time value of money, the actual interest expense reported in earnings will not equal the effective yield locked in at hedge inception multiplied by the par value. Similarly, this hedging strategy does not actually fix the interest payments associated with the forecasted debt issuance. Servicing rights Servicing rights initially represent the fair value of expected future cash flows for performing servicing activities for others. The fair value considers estimated future servicing fees and ancillary revenue, offset by estimated costs to service the loans, and generally declines over time as net servicing cash flows are received, effectively amortizing the servicing right asset against contractual servicing and ancillary fee income. Servicing rights are recognized upon sale of loans, including a securitization of loans accounted for as a sale in accordance with GAAP, if servicing is retained. For servicing rights, gains related to servicing rights retained is included in net realized gain/(loss) on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. For residential mortgage servicing rights, gains on servicing rights retained upon sale of a loan are included in residential mortgage banking activities on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. The Company treats its servicing rights and residential mortgage servicing rights as two separate classes of servicing assets based on the class of the underlying mortgages and it treats these assets as two separate pools for risk management purposes. Servicing rights relating to the Company’s servicing of loans guaranteed by the SBA under its Section 7(a) loan program and servicing rights related to the Freddie Mac program are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, while the Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights are accounted for under the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Servicing rights – SBA and Freddie Mac SBA and Freddie Mac servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost. We capitalize the value expected to be realized from performing specified servicing activities for others. Servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income, and are evaluated for potential impairment quarterly. For purposes of testing our servicing rights for impairment, we first determine whether facts and circumstances exist that would suggest the carrying value of the servicing asset is not recoverable. If so, we then compare the net present value of servicing cash flow with its carrying value. The estimated net present value of servicing cash flows is determined using discounted cash flow modeling techniques, which require management to make estimates regarding future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration historical and forecasted loan prepayment rates, delinquency rates and anticipated maturity defaults. If the carrying value of the servicing rights exceeds the net present value of servicing cash flows, the servicing rights are considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in earnings for the amount by which carrying value exceeds the net present value of servicing cash flows. We leverage all available relevant market data to determine the fair value of our recognized servicing assets. Since quoted market prices for servicing rights are not readily available, we estimate the fair value of servicing rights by determining the present value of future expected servicing cash flows using modeling techniques that incorporate management's best estimates of key variables including estimates regarding future net servicing cash flows, forecasted loan prepayment rates, delinquency rates, and return requirements commensurate with the risks involved. Cash flow assumptions are modeled using our internally forecasted revenue and expenses, and where possible, the reasonableness of assumptions is periodically validated through comparisons to market data. Prepayment speed estimates are determined from historical prepayment rates or obtained from third-party industry data. Return requirement assumptions are determined using data obtained from market participants, where available, or based on current relevant interest rates plus a risk-adjusted spread. We also consider other factors that can impact the value of the servicing rights, such as surety provider termination clauses and servicer terminations that could result if we failed to materially comply with the covenants or conditions of our servicing agreements and did not remedy the failure. Since many factors can affect the estimate of the fair value of servicing rights, we regularly evaluate the major assumptions and modeling techniques used in our estimate and review these assumptions against market comparables, if available. We monitor the actual performance of our servicing rights by regularly comparing actual cash flow, credit, and prepayment experience to modeled estimates. Servicing rights - Residential (carried at fair value) The Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights consist of conforming conventional residential loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or loans securitized in Ginnie Mae securities. Government insured loans serviced by the Company are securitized through Ginnie Mae, whereby the Company is insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Company has elected to account for its portfolio of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) at fair value. For these assets, the Company uses a third-party vendor to assist management in estimating the fair value. The third-party vendor uses a discounted cash flow approach which consists of projecting servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment rates, discount rates, default rates, and cost of servicing rates. Residential MSRs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, held for sale Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, held for sale, includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations, generally through foreclosure, that is being marketed for sale. Real estate, held for sale is recorded at acquisition at the property’s estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. After acquisition, costs incurred relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized to the extent they do not cause the recorded value to exceed the net realizable value, whereas costs relating to holding and disposition of the property are expensed as incurred. After acquisition, real estate held for sale is analyzed periodically for changes in fair values and any subsequent write down is charged through impairment. The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of real estate when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of real estate to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether the collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the real estate is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. This adjustment is based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the loan extended to the buyer to finance the sale. Intangible assets Intangible assets are accounted for under ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other . As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s identifiable intangible assets include SBA license for our lending operations as well as a trade name, a favorable lease, and other licenses relating to our residential mortgage banking segment, obtained as part of the ZAIS Financial merger transaction. The Company determined that its SBA license has an indefinite life, while the other intangibles acquired as part of the ZAIS Financial merger transaction are finite-lived. The Company amortizes intangible assets with identified estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company initially records its intangible assets at cost and subsequently tests for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible assets are included within other assets on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. Investment in unconsolidated joint venture According to ASC 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures , investors in unincorporated entities such as partnerships and unincorporated joint ventures generally shall account for their investments using the equity method of accounting if the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Under the equity method, we recognize our share of the earnings or losses of the investment monthly in earnings and adjust the carrying amount for our share of the distributions that exceed our earnings. Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, we determined our interest in the entity is a VIE, however, we do not consolidate the entity as we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary only when it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined as possessing both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Deferred financing costs Costs incurred in connection with our secured borrowings are accounted for under ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs . Deferred costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the respective

Acquisition of Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc
Acquisition of Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc	Note 5 – Acquisition of Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc. On March 29, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of ORM, through a merger of ORM with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for approximately 12.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued was based on an exchange ratio of 1.441 per share. The total purchase price for the merger of $179.3 million consisted exclusively of the Company’s common stock issued in exchange for shares of ORM common stock and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock, and was based on the $14.67 closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 29, 2019. Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company’s historical stockholders owned approximately 72% of the combined company’s stock, while historical ORM stockholders owned approximately 28% of the combined company’s stock. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the merger: (In Thousands) March 29, 2019 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,822 Loans, net 130,449 Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, held for sale 67,973 Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures 8,619 Other assets Deferred tax assets 4,660 Accrued interest 1,209 Other 379 Total assets acquired $ 224,111 Liabilities Secured borrowings 12,713 Other liabilities Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities 1,000 Due to Manager 228 Deferred tax liabilities 123 Total liabilities assumed $ 14,064 Net assets acquired $ 210,047 Total Consideration Transferred (in thousands, except share and per share data) FV of Net Assets Acquired $ 210,052 ORM shares outstanding at March 29, 2019 8,482,880 Exchange ratio x 1.441 Shares issued 12,223,830 Market price as of March 29, 2019 $ 14.67 Total consideration transferred based on value of shares issued $ 179,324 Bargain purchase gain $ 30,728 Based on the calculation, the Company has determined the transaction resulted in a bargain purchase gain, which is predominantly the result of changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock between the determination date and the closing date of the transaction. This gain is reflected separately within the unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Income under gain on bargain purchase. In a business combination, the initial allocation of the purchase price is considered preliminary and, therefore, is subject to change until the end of the measurement period. The final determination must occur within one year of the acquisition date. Because the measurement period is still open, certain fair value estimates may change once all information necessary to make a final fair value assessment has been received. Acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the ORM Merger, including legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees, totaling $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were expensed as incurred and are reflected separately within the unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Income. The following pro-forma income and earnings (unaudited) of the Combined Company are presented as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2018: For the three months ended (In Thousands) March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Selected Financial Data Interest income $ 51,543 $ 40,040 Interest expense (36,323) (23,202) Provision for loan losses (518) (87) Non-interest income 27,031 44,004 Non-interest expense (37,721) (39,021) Income before provision for income taxes 4,012 21,734 Provision for income (taxes) benefit 2,996 (2,746) Net income $ 7,008 $ 18,988 Non-recurring pro-forma transaction costs directly attributable to the merger were $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and have been deducted from the non-interest expense amount above. The Company excluded the bargain purchase gain of $30.7 million from the amount above.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses	Note 6 – Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses The accounting for a loan depends on management’s strategy for the loan, and on whether the loan was credit-impaired at the date of acquisition. The Company accounts for loans based on the following loan program categories: · Originated or purchased loans held-for-investment, other than PCI loans – originated transitional loans, originated conventional SBC and SBA loans that have been securitized, or acquired loans with no signs of credit deterioration at time of purchase. · Loans at fair value – certain originated conventional SBC loans for which the Company has elected the fair value option · Loans, held-for-sale, at fair value – originated or acquired that we intend to sell in the near term · PCI loans held-for-investment – acquired loans with signs of credit deterioration at time of purchase Loan Portfolio The following table summarizes the classification, unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), and carrying value of loans held by the Company including loans of consolidated VIEs: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Loans (In Thousands) Carrying Value UPB Carrying Value UPB Loans Acquired SBA 7(a) loans $ 117,876 $ 152,737 $ 264,308 $ 283,423 Acquired loans 156,343 164,871 206,983 215,213 Acquired Transitional loans 130,449 134,813 — — Originated Transitional loans 431,494 434,968 272,981 275,237 Originated SBC loans, at fair value 22,595 22,297 22,664 22,325 Originated SBC loans 110,265 109,251 345,100 342,751 Originated SBA 7(a) loans 91,892 96,474 85,569 89,733 Originated Residential Agency loans 2,818 2,868 1,899 1,900 Total Loans, before allowance for loan losses $ 1,063,732 $ 1,118,279 $ 1,199,504 $ 1,230,582 Allowance for loan losses $ (6,709) — $ (6,112) — Total Loans, net $ 1,057,023 $ 1,118,279 $ 1,193,392 $ 1,230,582 Loans in consolidated VIEs Loans Originated SBC loans $ 719,200 $ 709,287 $ 432,308 $ 422,897 Acquired loans 484,745 495,149 343,156 354,794 Acquired SBA 7(a) loans — — 55,966 74,554 Originated Transitional loans 300,333 301,330 391,752 393,116 Total Loans, in consolidated VIEs, before allowance for loan losses $ 1,504,278 $ 1,505,766 $ 1,223,182 $ 1,245,361 Allowance for loan losses on loans in consolidated VIEs $ (1,568) — $ (2,208) — Total Loans, net, in consolidated VIEs $ 1,502,710 $ 1,505,766 $ 1,220,974 $ 1,245,361 Total Loans, net, and Loans, net in consolidated VIEs $ 2,559,733 $ 2,624,045 $ 2,414,366 $ 2,475,943 Loans, held for sale, at fair value Originated Residential Agency loans $ 93,840 $ 90,435 $ 67,775 $ 65,586 Originated Freddie Mac loans 5,243 5,155 23,322 22,973 Originated SBA 7(a) loans 13,768 12,856 21,153 19,669 Acquired loans 2,927 2,828 3,008 2,935 Total Loans, held for sale, at fair value $ 115,778 $ 111,274 $ 115,258 $ 111,163 Total Loan portfolio $ 2,675,511 $ 2,735,319 $ 2,529,624 $ 2,587,106 Credit Quality Indicators The Company monitors credit quality of our loan portfolio based on primary credit quality indicators. Delinquency rates are a primary credit quality indicator for our types of loans. Loans that are more than 30 days past due provide an early warning of borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties and/or who may be unable or unwilling to repay the loan. As the loan continues to age, it becomes clearer that the borrower is likely either unable or unwilling to pay.

(2) Includes Loans, net in consolidated VIEs In addition to delinquency rates, the current estimated LTV ratio is another indicator that can provide insight into a borrower’s continued willingness to pay, as the delinquency rate of high LTV loans tends to be greater than that for loans where the borrower has equity in the collateral. The geographic distribution of the loan collateral also provides insight as to the credit quality of the portfolio, as factors such as the regional economy, property price changes and specific events such as natural disasters, will affect credit quality. The Company monitors the loan-to-value ratio and associated risks on a monthly basis.

Modified loans that are classified as TDRs are individually evaluated and measured for impairment. The following table summarizes the recorded investment of TDRs on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet dates by loan type.

(b) Represents the March 31, 2019 carrying values of the TDRs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that remained in default as of March 31, 2019. Generally, all loans modified in a TDR are placed or remain on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring. However, certain accruing loans modified in a TDR that are current at the time of restructuring may remain on accrual status if payment in full under the restructured terms is expected. For purposes of this schedule, a loan is considered in default if it is 30 or more days past due. The Company does not believe the financial impact of the presented TDRs to be material. The other elements of the Company’s modification programs do not have a significant impact on financial results given their relative size, or do not have a direct financial impact as in the case of covenant changes. Loans, held-for-investment are accounted for under ASC 310-10 or ASC 310-30 depending on whether there is evidence of credit deterioration at the time of acquisition. The outstanding carrying amount of our held-for-investment loan portfolio broken down by ASC 310-10 (non-PCI loans) and ASC 310-30 (PCI loans) is as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Non-PCI PCI Non-PCI PCI (In Thousands) Loans Loans Loans Loans Unpaid principal balance $ 2,512,982 $ 88,766 $ 2,361,155 $ 92,463 Non-accretable discount — (7,052) — (6,040) Accretable discount (35,189) (14,092) (31,533) (16,023) Loans, held-for-investment 2,477,793 67,622 2,329,622 70,400 Allowance for loan losses (4,098) (4,179) (3,925) (4,395) Loans, held-for-investment $ 2,473,695 $ 63,443 $ 2,325,697 $ 66,005 PCI Loans The following table details the activity of the accretable yield on PCI loans, held-for investment. The amount of accretable yield is affected by changes in credit outlooks, including metrics such as default and loss severities, prepayment speeds, which can change the amount and period of time over which interest payments are expected to be received, and the interest rates on variable loans.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement , which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available, actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the inputs as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs. Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Company’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. Fair values for these investments are determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the end of the period of the event or the date of the change in circumstances that caused the transfer. Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 generally relate to whether there were changes in the significant relevant observable and unobservable inputs that are available for the fair value measurements of such financial instruments. Transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at the end of the reporting period. Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurements The Company establishes valuation processes and procedures designed so that fair value measurements are appropriate and reliable, that they are based on observable inputs where possible, and that valuation approaches are consistently applied and the assumptions and inputs are reasonable. The Company has also established processes to provide that the valuation methodologies, techniques and approaches for investments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent and verifiable. The Company’s processes provide a framework that ensures the oversight of the Company’s fair value methodologies, techniques, validation procedures, and results. The Company designates a valuation committee (the “Committee”) to oversee the entire valuation process of the Company’s Level 3 investments. The Committee is comprised of various personnel who are responsible for developing the Company’s written valuation policies, processes and procedures, conducting periodic reviews of the valuation policies, and performing validation procedures on the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies and processes and that the assumptions and inputs used in valuation are reasonable. The validation procedures overseen by the Committee are also intended to provide that the values received from external third-party pricing sources are consistent with the Company’s Valuation Policy and are carried at fair value. To the extent that there is no exchange pricing, vendor marks or broker quotes readily available, the Company may use an internal valuation model or other valuation methodology that may be based on unobservable market inputs to fair value the investment. The values provided by a third-party pricing service are calculated based on key inputs provided by the Company including collateral values, unpaid principal balances, cash flow velocity, contractual status and anticipated disposition timelines. In addition, the Company performs an internal valuation used to assess and review the reasonableness and validity of the fair values provided by a third party. The Company also performs analytical procedures, which include automated checks consisting of prior-period variance analysis, comparisons of actual prices to internally calculate expected prices based on observable market changes, analysis of changes in pricing ranges, and relative value and yield comparisons using the Company’s proprietary valuation models. Upon completion of the review process described above, the Company may provide additional quantitative and qualitative data to the third-party pricing service to consider in valuing certain financial assets and liabilities, as applicable. Such data may include deal specific information not included in the data tape provided to the third party, outliers when compared to the unpaid principal balance and collateral value and knowledge of any impending liquidation of an investment. If deemed necessary by the third party and management, the investments are re-valued by the third party to account for the updated information. The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s financial instruments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2019 using third party information without adjustment: Predominant Weighted Valuation Average Price (In Thousands, except price) Fair Value Technique Type Price Range (a) Loans, held at fair value $ 22,595 Single External Source Third Party Mark $ 99.41 – 106.07 $ 101.34 Mortgage backed securities, at fair value 27,085 Broker Quotes Third Party Mark 79.50 – 97.50 85.50 Mortgage backed securities, at fair value 115 Transaction Price Transaction Price 99.00 – 99.00 99.00 Residential mortgage servicing rights, at fair value 88,218 Single external source Discounted cash flow N/A N/A (a) Prices are weighted based on the unpaid principal balance of the loans and securities included in the range for each class The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s financial instruments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018 using third-party information without adjustment: Predominant Weighted Valuation Average Price (In Thousands, except price) Fair Value Technique Type Price Range (a) Loans, held at fair value $ 22,664 Single External Source Third Party Mark $ 99.41 – 105.21 $ 101.52 Mortgage backed securities, at fair value (b) 12,033 Broker Quotes Third Party Mark 44.65 – 97.50 70.92 Mortgage backed securities, at fair value 115 Transaction Price Transaction Price 99.00 – 99.00 99.00 Residential mortgage servicing rights, at fair value 93,065 Single external source Discounted cash flow N/A N/A Contingent consideration 1,207 Single external source Discounted cash flow N/A N/A (a) Prices are weighted based on the unpaid principal balance of the loans and securities included in the range for each class (b) Price ranges and weighted averages exclude interest-only strips with a fair value of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2017. The fair value measurements of these assets are sensitive to changes in assumptions regarding prepayment, probability of default, loss severity in the event of default, forecasts of home prices, and significant activity or developments in the real estate market. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation may result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. Generally, an increase in the probability of default and loss severity in the event of default would result in a lower fair value measurement. A decrease in these assumptions would have the opposite effect. Conversely, an assumption that the home prices will increase would result in a higher fair value measurement. A decrease in the assumption for home prices would have the opposite effect.

On January 30, 2018 ReadyCap Holdings LLC, issued an additional $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2022, which have identical terms (other than issue date and issue price) to the notes issued during 2017 (collectively “the Senior Secured Notes”). The additional $40.0 million in Senior Secured Notes were priced with a yield to par call date of 6.5%. Payments of the amounts due on the Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries: Sutherland Partners LP, Sutherland Asset I, LLC, and ReadyCap Commercial, LLC. The funds were used to fund new SBC and SBA loan originations and new SBC loan acquisitions. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants with respect to the Senior Secured Notes. Convertible notes, net On August 9, 2017, the Company closed an underwritten public sale of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. During certain periods and subject to certain conditions, the notes will be convertible by holders into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 1.4997 shares of common stock per $25 principal amount of the notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $16.67 per share of common stock. Upon conversion, holders will receive, at the Company's discretion, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof. The Company may redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after August 15, 2021, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, holders may require the Company to purchase the Convertible Notes for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions: (1) the closing market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 120% of the conversion price of the respective Convertible Notes for at least 20 out of 30 days prior to the end of the preceding fiscal quarter, (2) the trading price of the Convertible Notes is less than 98% of the product of (i) the conversion rate and (ii) the closing price of the Company’s common stock during any five consecutive trading day period, (3) the Company issues certain equity instruments at less than the 10-day average closing market price of its common stock or the per-share value of certain distributions exceeds the market price of the Company’s common stock by more than 10%, or (4) certain other specified corporate events (significant consolidation, sale, merger share exchange, etc.) occur. At issuance, we allocated $112.7 million and $2.3 million of the carrying value of the Convertible Notes to its debt and equity components, respectively, before the allocation of deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants with respect to the Convertible Notes.

Variable Interest Entities and Securitization Activities
Variable Interest Entities and Securitization Activities	Note 14 – Variable Interest Entities and Securitization Activities In the normal course of business, we enter into certain types of transactions with entities that are considered to be VIEs. Our primary involvement with VIEs has been related to our securitization transactions in which we transfer assets to securitization trusts. We primarily securitize acquired SBC loans, originated transitional loans, and acquired SBA loans, which provides a source of funding for us and has enabled us to transfer a certain portion of the economic risk of the loans or related debt securities to third parties. We also transfer originated loans to securitization trusts sponsored by third parties, most notably Freddie Mac. Third-party securitizations are securitization entities in which we maintain an economic interest, but do not sponsor. The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. The majority of the VIEs in which we have been involved in are consolidated within our financial statements. See Note 3 for a discussion of our accounting policies applied to the consolidation of the VIE and transfer of the loans in connection with the securitization. Securitization-Related VIEs Company sponsored securitizations In a securitization transaction, assets are transferred to a trust, which generally meets the definition of a VIE. Our primary securitization activity is in the form of SBC and SBA loan securitizations, conducted through securitization trusts which we consolidate, as we determined that we are the primary beneficiary. For financial statement reporting purposes, since the underlying trust is consolidated, the securitization is effectively viewed as a financing of the loans that were securitized to enable the senior security to be created and sold to a third-party investor. As such, the senior security is presented on the consolidated balance sheets as securitized debt obligations of consolidated VIEs. The third-party beneficial interest holders in the VIE have no recourse against the Company, except that the Company has an obligation to repurchase assets from the VIE in the event that certain representations and warranties in relation to the loans sold to the VIE are breached. In the absence of such a breach, the Company has no obligation to provide any other explicit or implicit support to any VIE. The securitization trust receives principal and interest on the underlying loans and distributes those payments to the certificate holders. The assets and other instruments held by the securitization trust are restricted in that they can only be used to fulfill the obligations of the securitization trust. The risks associated with the Company’s involvement with the VIE is limited to the risks and rights as a certificate holder of the securities retained by the Company. The consolidation of the securitization transactions includes the senior securities issued to third parties which are shown as securitized debt obligations of consolidated VIEs on the consolidated balance sheets.

The actual cash flows from the securitized loans are comprised of coupon interest, scheduled principal payments, prepayments and liquidations of the underlying loans. The actual term of the securitized debt may differ significantly from our estimate given that actual interest collections, mortgage prepayments and/or losses on liquidation of mortgages may differ significantly from those expected. Third-party sponsored securitizations For Freddie Mac sponsored securitizations, we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Specifically, we do not manage these entities or otherwise solely hold decision making powers that are significant, which include special servicing decisions. As a result of this assessment, we do not consolidate any of the underlying assets and liabilities of these trusts, we only account for our specific interests in them. Other VIEs Other VIEs include a variable interest that we hold in an acquired joint venture investment that we account for as an equity method investment. We do not consolidate these entities because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, we only account for our specific interest in them.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments	Note 16 – Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to changing interest rates and market conditions, which affect cash flows associated with borrowings. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk and conditions in the commercial mortgage market and, as such, views them as economic hedges. Interest rate swaps are used to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates and involve the receipt of variable-rate interest amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making payments based on a fixed interest rate over the life of the swap contract. CDS are executed in order to mitigate the risk of deterioration in the current credit health of the commercial mortgage market. IRLCs are entered into with customers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and meet certain underwriting criteria. These commitments expose GMFS to market risk if interest rates change, and if the loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. For derivative instruments that the Company has not elected hedge accounting, the fair value adjustments on such instruments are recorded in earnings. The fair value adjustments for interest rate swaps and CDS, along with the related interest income, interest expense and gains/(losses) on termination of such instruments, are reported as a net realized gain on financial instruments on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. The fair value adjustments for IRLCs, along with the related interest income, interest expense and gains/(losses) on termination of such instruments, are reported in residential mortgage banking activities on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. As described in Note 3, for qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss) ("OCI") and recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item, primarily interest expense. The ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. The following tables summarize the Company’s use of derivatives and their effect on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Notional amounts included in the table are the average notional amounts on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet dates. We believe these are the most relevant measure of volume or derivative activity as they best represent the Company’s exposure to underlying instruments. As of March 31, 2019 the Company had one open CDS contract and 100 open interest rate swap contracts with counterparties. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had one open credit default swap contract and 64 open interest rate swap contracts with counterparties.

Following the initial term, the Management Agreement may be terminated upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors or the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock (excluding shares held by employees and affiliates of the Manager), based upon (1) unsatisfactory performance by our Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company or (2) a determination that the management fee payable to the Manager is not fair, subject to the Manager’s right to prevent such a termination based on unfair fees by accepting a mutually acceptable reduction of management fees agreed to by at least two-thirds of our independent directors. The Manager must be provided with written notice of any such termination at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then existing term and will be paid a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the average annual management fee during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. Expense Reimbursement In addition to the management fees and incentive distribution described above, the Company is also responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by our Manager on behalf of the Company and for certain services provided by the Manager to the Company. Expenses incurred by the Manager and reimbursed by us are typically included in salaries and benefits or general and administrative expense on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. The following table presents certain information on reimbursable expenses payable to our Manager: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Reimbursable expenses payable to our Manager - total $ 0.8 million $ 0.9 million Reimbursable expenses payable to our Manager - amount unpaid $ 1.0 million $ 0.8 million Other In March of 2018, the Company acquired 75 loans, net, from Waterfall Olympic Master Fund Grantor Trust, Series I, II, and III, which are also managed by our Manager for $51.6 million, including interest. The total unpaid principal balance of the loans was $51.8 million.

The liability is included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets and the provision for loan indemnification losses is included in variable expenses on residential mortgage banking activities, in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. In assessing the adequacy of the liability, management evaluates various factors including historical repurchases and indemnifications, historical loss experience, known delinquent and other problem loans, outstanding repurchase demand, historical rescission rates and economic trends and conditions in the industry. Actual losses incurred are reflected as a reduction of the reserve liability. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the loan indemnification reserve was $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Because of the uncertainty in the various estimates underlying the loan indemnification reserve, there is a range of losses in excess of the recorded loan indemnification reserve that is reasonably possible. The estimate of the range of possible losses for representations and warranties does not represent a probable loss, and is based on current available information, significant judgment, and a number of assumptions that are subject to change. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the reasonably possible loss above the recorded loan indemnification reserve was not considered material.

The 2012 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to approve grants of equity-based awards to our officers, directors, and employees of the Manager and its affiliates. The equity incentive plan provides for grants of equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. The Company’s current policy for issuing shares upon settlement of stock-based incentive awards is to issue new shares. The fair value of the RSUs and RSAs granted, which is determined based upon the stock price on the grant date, is recorded as compensation expense on a straight - line basis over the vesting periods for the awards, with an offsetting increase in stockholders’ equity. The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU and RSA activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019: Restricted Stock Awards (In Thousands, except share data) Number of Grant date fair value Weighted-average grant date fair value (per share) Outstanding, January 1 118,904 $ 1,661 $ 13.97 Granted 111,097 1,784 16.06 Vested (52,110) (733) 14.06 Forfeited — — — Canceled — — — Outstanding, March 31, 2019 177,891 $ 2,712 $ 15.25 At March 31, 2019, there were 23,104 fully vested RSUs that were not yet issued as common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.2 million of noncash compensation expense, respectively, related to its stock-based incentive plan in its unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $1.5 million and $1.5 million of noncash compensation expense related to unvested awards had not yet been charged to net income, respectively. These costs are expected to be amortized into compensation expense ratably over the course of the remainder of the respective vesting periods.

Earnings per Share of Common Stock	Note 22 – Earnings per Share of Common Stock The following table provides information on the basic and diluted earnings per share computations, including the number of shares of common stock used for purposes of these computations: Three Months Ended March 31, (In Thousands, except for share and per share amounts) 2019 2018 Basic Earnings Net income $ 30,450 $ 18,518 Less: Income attributable to non-controlling interest 983 664 Less: Income attributable to participating shares 82 61 Basic earnings $ 29,385 $ 17,793 Diluted Earnings Continuing Operations Net income $ 30,450 $ 18,518 Less: Income attributable to non-controlling interest 983 664 Less: Income attributable to participating shares 82 61 Diluted earnings $ 29,385 $ 17,793 Number of Shares Basic — Average shares outstanding 32,556,875 32,036,504 Effect of dilutive securities — Unvested participating shares 6,769 9,340 Diluted — Average shares outstanding 32,563,644 32,045,844 Earnings Per Share Attributable to RC Common Stockholders: Basic $ 0.90 $ 0.56 Diluted $ 0.90 $ 0.56 Participating unvested RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted shares as their effect was already considered under the more dilutive two-class method used above. Additionally, as of March 31, 2019, there are potential shares of common stock contingently issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes in the future. The Company has asserted its intent and ability to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to apply a method similar to the treasury stock method, such that contingently issuable common stock is assessed quarterly along with our other potentially dilutive instruments. In order to compute the dilutive effect, the number of shares included in the denominator of diluted EPS is determined by dividing the “conversion spread value” of the share-settled portion (value above accreted value of face value and interest component) of the instrument by the share price. The “conversion spread value” is the value that would be delivered to investors in shares based on the terms of the bond upon an assumed conversion. As of March 31, 2019, the conversion spread value is currently zero, since the closing price of our common stock does not exceed the conversion rate (strike price) and is “out-of-the-money”, resulting in no impact on diluted EPS. Certain investors own OP units in our operating partnership. An OP unit and a share of common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the operating partnership. OP unit holders have the right to redeem their OP units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of common stock or cash at the Company's option, calculated as follows: one share of the Company's common stock, or cash equal to the fair value of a share of the Company's common stock at the time of redemption, for each OP unit. When an OP unit holder redeems an OP unit, non-controlling interests in the operating partnership is reduced and the Company's equity is increased. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the non-controlling interest OP unit holders owned 1,117,169 and 1,117,169 OP units, respectively.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Note 23 – Offsetting Assets and Liabilities In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement with multiple derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement, published by ISDA, is a bilateral trading agreement between two parties that allow both parties to enter into over-the-counter (“OTC”), derivative contracts. The ISDA Master Agreement contains a Schedule to the Master Agreement and a Credit Support Annex, which governs the maintenance, reporting, collateral management and default process (netting provisions in the event of a default and/or a termination event). Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Company may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Company’s stockholders’ equity declines by a stated percentage or the Company fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Company to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the periods then ended, the Company was in good standing on all of its ISDA Master Agreements or similar arrangements with its counterparties. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are listed under the Credit Support Annex, which is the sum of the mark to market for each derivative contract, the independent amount due to the derivative counterparty and any thresholds, if any. Collateral may be in the form of cash or any eligible securities, as defined in the respective ISDA agreements. Cash collateral pledged to and by the Company with the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash. All margin call amounts must be made before the notification time and must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required. All margin calls must be responded to and completed by the close of business on the same day of the margin call, unless otherwise specified. Any margin calls after the notification time must be completed by the next business day. Typically, the Company and its counterparties are not permitted to sell, rehypothecate or use the collateral posted. To the extent amounts due to the Company from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, the Company bears exposure and the risk of loss from a defaulting counterparty. The Company attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by establishing ISDA agreements with only high grade counterparties that have the financial health to honor their obligations and diversification, entering into agreements with multiple counterparties. In accordance with ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities , the Company is required to disclose the impact of offsetting of assets and liabilities represented in the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets to enable users of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or ISDA Master Agreements or meet the following right of setoff criteria: (a) the amounts owed by the Company to another party are determinable, (b) the Company has the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the counterparty, (c) the Company intends to set off, and (d) the Company’s right of setoff is enforceable at law. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has elected to offset assets and liabilities associated with its OTC derivative contracts in the unaudited interim consolidated balances sheets.

Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk, Credit Risk, and Certain Other Risks
Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk, Credit Risk, and Certain Other Risks	Note 24 – Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk, Credit Risk, and Certain Other Risks In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions in various financial instruments that expose us to various types of risk, both on and off balance sheet. Such risks are associated with financial instruments and markets in which the Company invests. These financial instruments expose us to varying degrees of market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, off balance sheet risk and prepayment risk. Market Risk — Market risk is the potential adverse changes in the values of the financial instrument due to unfavorable changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or market values of the underlying financial instruments. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to market risk by entering into offsetting transactions, which may include purchase or sale of interest-bearing securities and equity securities. Credit Risk — The Company is subject to credit risk in connection with our investments in SBC loans and SBC MBS and other target assets we may acquire in the future. The credit risk related to these investments pertains to the ability and willingness of the borrowers to pay, which is assessed before credit is granted or renewed and periodically reviewed throughout the loan or security term. We believe that loan credit quality is primarily determined by the borrowers' credit profiles and loan characteristics. We seek to mitigate this risk by seeking to acquire assets at appropriate prices given anticipated and unanticipated losses and by deploying a value−driven approach to underwriting and diligence, consistent with our historical investment strategy, with a focus on projected cash flows and potential risks to cash flow. We further mitigate our risk of potential losses while managing and servicing our loans by performing various workout and loss mitigation strategies with delinquent borrowers. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur which could adversely impact operating results. The Company is also subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to derivative contracts. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligation under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, we may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in a dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding-up, bankruptcy, or other analogous proceeding. In the event of the insolvency of a counterparty to a derivative transaction, the derivative transaction would typically be terminated at its fair market value. If we are owed this fair market value in the termination of the derivative transaction and its claim is unsecured, we will be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the underlying security. We may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In addition, the business failure of a counterparty with whom we enter a hedging transaction will most likely result in its default, which may result in the loss of potential future value and the loss of our hedge and force us to cover our commitments, if any, at the then current market price. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that counterparties may fail to fulfill their obligations, including their inability to post additional collateral in circumstances where their pledged collateral value becomes inadequate. The Company attempts to manage its exposure to counterparty risk through diversification, use of financial instruments and monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company finances the acquisition of a significant portion of its loans and investments with repurchase agreements and borrowings under credit facilities. In connection with these financing arrangements, the Company pledges its loans, securities and cash as collateral to secure the borrowings. The amount of collateral pledged will typically exceed the amount of the borrowings (i.e., the haircut) such that the borrowings will be over-collateralized. As a result, the Company is exposed to the counterparty if, during the term of the repurchase agreement financing, a lender should default on its obligation and the Company is not able to recover its pledged assets. The amount of this exposure is the difference between the amount loaned to the Company plus interest due to the counterparty and the fair value of the collateral pledged by the Company to the lender including accrued interest receivable on such collateral. GMFS sells loans to investors without recourse. As such, the investors have assumed the risk of loss or default by the borrower. However, GMFS is usually required by these investors to make certain standard representations and warranties relating to credit information, loan documentation and collateral. To the extent that GMFS does not comply with such representations, or there are early payment defaults, GMFS may be required to repurchase the loans or indemnify these investors for any losses from borrower defaults. In addition, if loans pay-off within a specified time frame, GMFS may be required to refund a portion of the sales proceeds to the investors. Liquidity Risk — Liquidity risk arises in our investments and the general financing of our investing activities. It includes the risk of not being able to fund acquisition and origination activities at settlement dates and/or liquidate positions in a timely manner at reasonable prices, in addition to potential increases in collateral requirements during times of heightened market volatility. If we were forced to dispose of an illiquid investment at an inopportune time, we might be forced to do so at a substantial discount to the market value, resulting in a realized loss. We attempt to mitigate our liquidity risk by regularly monitoring the liquidity of our investments in SBC loans, MBS and other financial instruments. Factors such as our expected exit strategy for, the bid to offer spread of, and the number of broker dealers making an active market in a particular strategy and the availability of long-term funding, are considered in analyzing liquidity risk. To reduce any perceived disparity between the liquidity and the terms of the debt instruments in which we invest, we attempt to minimize our reliance on short-term financing arrangements. While we may finance certain investment in security positions using traditional margin arrangements and borrowings under repurchase agreements, other financial instruments such as collateralized debt obligations, and other longer term financing vehicles may be utilized to attempt to provide us with sources of long-term financing. Off‑Balance Sheet Risk —The Company has undrawn commitments on outstanding loans which are disclosed in Note 25. Interest Rate — Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control. Our operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income from our investments and our financing costs. Generally, our debt financing is based on a floating rate of interest calculated on a fixed spread over the relevant index, subject to a floor, as determined by the particular financing arrangement. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in credit losses to us, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. Furthermore, such defaults could have an adverse effect on the spread between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Additionally, non-performing SBC loans are not as interest rate sensitive as performing loans, as earnings on non-performing loans are often generated from restructuring the assets through loss mitigation strategies and opportunistically disposing of them. Because non-performing SBC loans are short-term assets, the discount rates used for valuation are based on short-term market interest rates, which may not move in tandem with long-term market interest rates. A rising rate environment often means an improving economy, which might have a positive impact on commercial property values, resulting in increased gains on the disposition of these assets. While rising rates could make it more costly to refinance these assets, we expect that the impact of this would be mitigated by higher property values. Moreover, small business owners are generally less interest rate sensitive than large commercial property owners, and interest cost is a relatively small component of their operating expenses. An improving economy will likely spur increased property values and sales, thereby increasing the need for SBC financing. Prepayment Risk — As we receive prepayments of principal on our investments, premiums paid on such investments will be amortized against interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates will accelerate the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the investments and this is also affected by interest rate movements. Conversely, discounts on such investments are accreted into interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates will accelerate the accretion of purchase discounts, thereby increasing the interest income earned on the investments. An increase in prepayment rates will also adversely affect the fair value of our MSRs.

Commitments, Contingencies and Indemnifications
Commitments, Contingencies and Indemnifications	Note 25 – Commitments, Contingencies and Indemnifications Litigation The Company may be subject to litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has entered into agreements, which provide for indemnifications against losses, costs, claims, and liabilities arising from the performance of individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to these agreements. The Company’s individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on history and experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. Management is not aware of any other contingencies that would require accrual or disclosure in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Unfunded Loan Commitments As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $179.0 and $161.7 million of unfunded loan commitments related to loans, held-for-investment, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $5.9 million and $4.9 million of unfunded loan commitments related to loans, held for sale, at fair value, respectively. Commitments to Originate Loans GMFS enters into IRLCs with customers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose GMFS to market risk if interest rates change, and the loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. GMFS is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the borrower does not perform. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total commitments to originate loans were $198.7 million and $124.0 million, respectively.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	Note 26 – Income Taxes The Company is a REIT pursuant to IRC Section 856. Our qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to meet various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, which relate to our organizational structure, diversity of stock ownership and certain requirements with regard to the nature of our assets and the sources of our income. As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, in order for U.S. federal income tax not to apply to our earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal income and excise taxes and state and local taxes on our income and assets. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any taxable year, we may be subject to material penalties as well as federal, state and local income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we would not be able to qualify as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we are in compliance with all REIT requirements. Certain of our subsidiaries have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). TRSs permit us to participate in certain activities from which REITs are generally precluded, as long as these activities meet specific criteria, are conducted within the parameters of certain limitations established by the Internal Revenue Code, and are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent these criteria are met, we will continue to maintain our qualification as a REIT. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRS’ for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our TRSs engage in various real estate related operations, including originating and securitizing commercial and residential mortgage loans, and investments in real property. The majority of our TRSs are held within the SBC Originations, SBA Originations, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Residential Mortgage Banking segments. Our TRSs are not consolidated for federal income tax purposes, but are instead taxed as corporations. For financial reporting purposes, a provision for current and deferred income taxes is established for the portion of earnings recognized by us with respect to our interest in TRSs. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $3.0 million and an income tax expense of $2.6 million, respectively. The income tax expense for the above periods primarily related to activities of our taxable REIT subsidiaries and various state and local taxes. There were no material changes to uncertain tax positions or valuation allowance assessments during the quarter.

Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting	Note 27 – Segment Reporting The Company reports its results of operations through the following four business segments: i) Loan Acquisitions , ii) SBC Originations , iii) SBA Originations, Acquisitions and Servicing , and iv) Residential Mortgage Banking . The Company’s organizational structure is based on a number of factors that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), uses to evaluate, view, and run its business operations, which includes customer base and nature of loan program types. The segments are based on this organizational structure and the information reviewed by the CODM and management to evaluate segment results. Loan Acquisitions Through the Loan Acquisitions segment, the Company acquires performing and non-performing SBC loans and intends to continue to acquire these loans as part of the Company’s business strategy. SBC Originations Through the SBC Originations segment, the Company originates SBC loans secured by stabilized or transitional investor properties using multiple loan origination channels. Additionally, as part of this segment, we originate and service multi-family loan products under the Freddie Mac program. This segment also reflects the impact of our SBC securitization activities. SBA Originations, Acquisitions, and Servicing Through the SBA Originations, Acquisitions, and Servicing segment, the Company acquires, originates and services loans guaranteed by the SBA under the SBA Section 7(a) Program. This segment also reflects the impact of our SBA securitization activities. Residential Mortgage Banking Through the Residential Mortgage Banking segment, the Company originates residential mortgage loans eligible to be purchased, guaranteed or insured by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, USDA and VA through retail, correspondent and broker channels. Corporate- Other Corporate- Other consists primarily of unallocated corporate financing, including interest expense relating to our senior secured and convertible notes on funds yet to be deployed, allocated employee compensation from our Manager, management and incentive fees paid to our Manager and other general corporate overhead expenses.

Supplemental Financial Data
Supplemental Financial Data	Note 28 – Supplemental Financial Data Summarized Financial Information of Our Unconsolidated Subsidiaries In November of 2017, the Company acquired an interest in an SBC loan pool through a joint venture, WFLLA, LLC, which the Company has a 50% interest. Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, we determined our interest in the entity is a VIE, however, we do not consolidate the entity as we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. WFLLA, LLC holds a 49.9% interest in another company, Girod HoldCo, LLC, whom owns and manages the day-to-day affairs and business associated with the SBC loan pool. In accordance with Regulation S-X section 10-01(b)-1, unconsolidated entities that meet certain significance tests are required to have supplemental disclosures included in our unaudited interim financial statements, including condensed financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts and results of operations of the Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidations. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts reported for the prior periods in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period’s presentation. As described in Note 4, the impact of the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash , resulted in revisions to prior period numbers to conform with the updated accounting standard and our current period’s presentation. As described in further detail below, effective during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company revised its presentation of residential mortgage banking activities and variable expenses on residential mortgage banking activities within our Consolidated Statements of Income and Note 10, which no longer presents these amounts as a net amount. Prior period numbers were revised to conform to the new presentation and to be consistent with our current period’s presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company has accounted for cash and cash equivalents in accordance with ASC 305, Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash, demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We deposit our cash with institutions that we believe to have highly valuable and defensible business franchises, strong financial fundamentals, and predictable and stable operating environments. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $0.6 million in money market mutual funds, and substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents not held in money market funds were comprised of cash balances with banks that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of March 31, 2019 this balance was zero.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents cash held by the Company as collateral against its derivatives, borrowings under repurchase agreements, borrowings under credit facilities with counterparties, construction and mortgage escrows, as well as cash held for remittance on loans serviced for third parties. Restricted cash is not available for general corporate purposes, but may be applied against amounts due to counterparties under existing swaps and repurchase agreement borrowings, or returned to the Company when the restriction requirements no longer exist or at the maturity of the swap or repurchase agreement.
Loans, net	Loans, net Loans, net consists of loans, held-for-investment, net of allowance for loan losses and loans, held at fair value. Loans, held-for-investment Loans, held-for-investment are loans acquired from third parties (“acquired loans”), loans originated by ReadyCap that we do not intend to sell, or securitized loans that were previously originated by ReadyCap. Securitized loans remain on the Company’s balance sheet because the securitization vehicles are consolidated under ASC 810. Acquired loans are recorded at cost at the time they are acquired. Acquired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”) and referred to as “purchased credit impaired loans” (PCI loans) if both of the following conditions are met as of the acquisition date: (i) there is evidence of deterioration in credit quality of the loan since its origination and (ii) it is probable that we will not collect all contractual cash flows on the loan. Acquired loans without evidence of these conditions, securitized loans, and loans originated by ReadyCap that we do not intend to sell are accounted for under ASC 310-10, Receivables- Overall , (“ASC 310-10”) and are referred to as “Non-purchased credit impaired loans” (non-PCI loans). Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Loans The estimated cash flow expected for each loan is estimated at the time the loan is acquired. The excess of the cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans, measured as of the acquisition date, over the initial investment is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method of accretion. The difference between contractually required payments as of the acquisition date and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference and is not accreted over time. The Company estimates expected cash flows to be collected over the life of individual PCI loans on a quarterly basis. If the Company determines that discounted expected cash flows have decreased, the PCI loans would be considered impaired, which would result in a provision for loan loss and a corresponding increase in the allowance for loan losses. If discounted expected cash flows have increased, or improved, in subsequent evaluations, the increase in cash flows is first used to reverse the amount of any related allowance for loan losses before the yield is adjusted. Additionally, the Company will increase the accretable yield to account for the increase in expected cash flows. The estimate of the amount and timing of cash flows for our PCI loans is based on historical information available and expected future performance of the loans, and may include the timing of expected future cash flows, prepayment speed, default rates, loss severities, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing loans, extent of credit support available, Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores at loan origination, year of origination, loan-to-value ratios, geographic concentrations, as well as reports by credit rating agencies, such as Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”), or Fitch, general market assessments and dialogue with market participants. As a result, substantial judgment is used in the analysis to determine the expected cash flows. Non-PCI Loans The Company uses the interest method to recognize, as a constant effective yield adjustment, the difference between the initial recorded investment in the loan and the principal amount of the loan. The calculation of the constant effective yield necessary to apply the interest method uses the payment terms required by the loan contract, and prepayments of principal are not anticipated to shorten the loan term. For non-PCI loans, recognition of interest income is suspended when any loans are placed on non-accrual status. Generally, all classes of loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest has been delinquent for 90 days or when full collection is determined not to be probable. Interest income accrued, but not collected, at the date loans are placed on non-accrual status is reversed and subsequently recognized only to the extent it is received in cash or until it qualifies for return to accrual status. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of loan principal, all cash received is applied to reduce the carrying value of such loans. Loans are restored to accrual status only when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. Loans, held at fair value Loans, held at fair value represent certain loans originated by ReadyCap for which the Company has elected the fair value option. Interest is recognized as interest income on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income when earned and deemed collectible. Changes in fair value are recurring and are reported as net unrealized gain (loss) on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income.
Allowance for loan losses	Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is intended to provide for credit losses inherent in the loans, held-for-investment portfolio and is reviewed quarterly for adequacy considering credit quality indicators, including probable and historical losses, collateral values, loan-to-value ratio and economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses is increased through provisions for loan losses charged to earnings and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. We determine the allowance for loan losses by measuring credit impairment on (1) an individual basis for non-accrual status loans, and (2) on a collective basis for all other loans with similar risk characteristics. The allowance for loan losses on an individual basis is assessed when a loan is on non-accrual and the recoverability of the loan is less than its carrying value. The Company considers the loans to be collateral dependent and relies on the current fair value of the collateral as the basis for determining impairment. Loans that are not assessed individually for impairment are assessed on a collective basis. For the acquired loans we perform a historical analysis on both cumulative defaults and severity upon default for all loans that were current as of November 4, 2013 when the Company was formed or acquired thereafter. We calculated the cumulative default and loss severity on the acquired loans with delinquency statuses of 90+ days and applied those factors to the current acquired loan population. For the originated loans, our historical data shows a minimal number of defaults, therefore we used an analysis performed on the latest ReadyCap securitization to determine the likelihood of default and to determine loss severity we stressed collateral value to the current principal balance based on the total valuation decline of SBC properties from the peak valuation in 2007 through their post-crisis low in 2010. The determination of allowances for SBA loans is based upon the assignment of a probability of default on a rating scale. Each loan rating is re-evaluated at least annually for loan performance, underlying borrower financial performance or data from third party credit bureaus. The probability of default is compared to the underlying collateral value securing each loan and compared to each loan carrying value to calculate a loss estimate. Collectively the estimated probability of default and recovery value is compared to actual portfolio default and recovery rates as well as economic factors and adjusted when needed. The determination of whether an allowance for loan loss is necessary is based on whether or not there is a decrease in cash flows based on consideration of factual information available at the time of assessment as well as management’s estimates of the future performance and projected amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected on the loan. While we have a formal methodology to determine the adequate and appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, estimates of inherent loan losses involve judgment and assumptions as to various factors, including current economic conditions. Our determination of adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on quarterly evaluations of the above factors. Accordingly, the provision for loan losses will vary from period to period based on management's ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Non-accrual loans	Non-accrual loans Non-accrual loans are the loans for which we are not accruing or accreting interest income. Non-accrual loans include non-PCI loans when principal or interest has been delinquent for 90 days or more or when it is determined that full collection of contractual cash flows is not probable. Additionally, PCI loans for which the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the timing and amount of expected cash flows are considered to be non-accrual loans.
Troubled Debt Restructurings	Troubled Debt Restructurings In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant concessions for a period of time to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider, the related loans are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). These modified terms may include interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, term extensions, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize our economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. For modifications where we forgive principal, the entire amount of such principal forgiveness is immediately charged off. Loans classified as TDRs, are considered impaired loans. Other than resolutions such as foreclosures and sales, we may remove loans held-for-investment from TDR classification, but only if they have been refinanced or restructured at market terms and qualify as a new loan. Generally, all loans modified in a TDR are placed or remain on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring. However, certain accruing loans modified in a TDR that are current at the time of restructuring may remain on accrual status if payment in full under the restructured terms is expected.
Impaired loans	Impaired loans The Company considers a loan to be impaired when the Company does not expect to collect all of the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreements. This includes certain non-PCI loans where we do not expect to collect all of the contractual interest and principal payments, as well as PCI loans, which experienced credit deterioration prior to acquisition.
Loans, held for sale, at fair value	Loans, held for sale, at fair value Loans, held for sale, at fair value are loans that are expected to be sold to third parties in the near term. Interest is recognized as interest income on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income when earned and deemed collectible. For loans originated by our SBC originations and SBA originations segments, changes in fair value are recurring and are reported as net unrealized gain (loss) on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. For originated SBA loans, the guaranteed portion is held for sale, at fair value. For loans originated by GMFS, changes in fair value are reported as residential mortgage banking activities on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage backed securities, at fair value	Mortgage backed securities, at fair value The Company accounts for MBS as trading securities and are carried at fair value under ASC 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. Our MBS portfolio is comprised of asset-backed securities collateralized by interest in or obligations backed by pools of SBC loans. Purchases and sales of MBS are recorded on the trade date. Our MBS securities pledged as collateral against borrowings under repurchase agreements are included in mortgage backed securities, at fair value on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. MBS are recorded at fair value as determined by market prices provided by independent broker dealers or other independent valuation service providers. The fair values assigned to these investments are based upon available information and may not reflect amounts that may be realized. We generally intend to hold our investment in MBS to generate interest income; however, we have and may continue to sell certain of our investment securities as part of the overall management of our assets and liabilities and operating our business.
Loans eligible for repurchase from Ginnie Mae	Loans eligible for repurchase from Ginnie Mae When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase Ginnie Mae pool loans it has previously sold (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the Company then records the right to repurchase the loan as an asset and liability in its unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts reflect the unpaid principal balance of the loans.
Derivative instruments, at fair value	Derivative instruments, at fair value Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we utilize derivative financial instruments, currently comprised of credit default swaps (“CDSs”), interest rate swaps, and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) as part of our risk management. The Company accounts for derivative instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedges . All derivatives are reported as either assets or liabilities on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets at the estimated fair value with the changes in the fair value recorded in earnings, unless hedge accounting is elected. Although permitted under certain circumstances, generally the Company does not offset cash collateral receivable or payables against our gross derivative positions. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cash collateral receivable for derivatives is $7.0 million and $11.6. million, respectively, and is included in restricted cash on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. Interest Rate Swap Agreements An interest rate swap is an agreement between two counterparties to exchange periodic interest payments where one party to the contract makes a fixed-rate payment in exchange for a floating-rate payment from the other party. The dollar amount each party pays is an agreed-upon periodic interest rate multiplied by some pre-determined dollar principal (notional amount). No principal (notional amount) is exchanged between the two parties at trade initiation date. Only interest payments are exchanged. Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value adjustments are reported within net unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments, while the related interest income or interest expense, are reported within net realized gain (loss) on financial instruments in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) IRLCs are agreements under which GMFS agrees to extend credit to a borrower under certain specified terms and conditions in which the interest rate and the maximum amount of the loan are set prior to funding. Unrealized gains and losses on the IRLCs, reflected as derivative assets and derivative liabilities, respectively, are measured based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan, quoted government-sponsored enterprise Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Government National Mortgage Association ((“Ginnie Mae”), collectively, “GSEs”) or MBS prices, estimates of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the probability that the mortgage loan will fund within the terms of the IRLC, net of commission expense and broker fees. The realized and unrealized gains or losses are reported on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income as residential mortgage banking activities. IRLCs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. CDS CDS are contracts between two parties, a protection buyer who makes fixed periodic payments, and a protection seller, who collects the premium in exchange for making the protection buyer whole in the case of default. The fair value adjustments are reported within net unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments, while the related interest income or interest expense, are reported within net realized gain/(loss) on financial instruments in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. CDS are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Hedge Accounting As a general rule, hedge accounting is permitted where the Company is exposed to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, that causes changes in the fair value of an asset or liability or variability in the expected future cash flows of an existing asset, liability, or forecasted transaction that may affect earnings. To qualify as an accounting hedge under the hedge accounting rules (versus an economic hedge where hedge accounting is not applied), a hedging relationship must be highly effective in offsetting the risk designated as being hedged. We use cash flow hedges to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows from forecasted transactions, including the anticipated issuance of securitized debt obligations. ASC 815 requires that a forecasted transaction be identified as either: 1) a single transaction, or 2) a group of individual transactions that share the same risk exposures for which they are designated as being hedged. Hedges of forecasted transactions are considered cash flow hedges since the price is not fixed, hence involve variability of cash flows. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss) ("OCI"), and is reclassified out of OCI and into the Consolidated Statements of Income when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. These amounts are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item, primarily interest expense (for hedges of interest rate risk). The ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. If the hedge relationship is terminated, then the value of the derivative recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) ("AOCI") is recognized in earnings when the cash flows that were hedged affect earnings, so long as the forecasted transaction remains probable of occurring. For hedge relationships that are discontinued because a forecasted transaction is probable of not occurring according to the original hedge forecast (including an additional two month window), any related derivative values recorded in AOCI are immediately recognized in earnings. Hedge accounting is generally terminated at the debt issuance date because we are no longer exposed to cash flow variability subsequent to issuance. Accumulated amounts recorded in AOCI at that date are then released to earnings in future periods to reflect the difference in 1) the fixed rates economically locked in at the inception of the hedge and 2) the actual fixed rates established in the debt instrument at issuance. Because of the effects of the time value of money, the actual interest expense reported in earnings will not equal the effective yield locked in at hedge inception multiplied by the par value. Similarly, this hedging strategy does not actually fix the interest payments associated with the forecasted debt issuance.
Servicing rights	Servicing rights Servicing rights initially represent the fair value of expected future cash flows for performing servicing activities for others. The fair value considers estimated future servicing fees and ancillary revenue, offset by estimated costs to service the loans, and generally declines over time as net servicing cash flows are received, effectively amortizing the servicing right asset against contractual servicing and ancillary fee income. Servicing rights are recognized upon sale of loans, including a securitization of loans accounted for as a sale in accordance with GAAP, if servicing is retained. For servicing rights, gains related to servicing rights retained is included in net realized gain/(loss) on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. For residential mortgage servicing rights, gains on servicing rights retained upon sale of a loan are included in residential mortgage banking activities on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. The Company treats its servicing rights and residential mortgage servicing rights as two separate classes of servicing assets based on the class of the underlying mortgages and it treats these assets as two separate pools for risk management purposes. Servicing rights relating to the Company’s servicing of loans guaranteed by the SBA under its Section 7(a) loan program and servicing rights related to the Freddie Mac program are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, while the Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights are accounted for under the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Servicing rights – SBA and Freddie Mac SBA and Freddie Mac servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost. We capitalize the value expected to be realized from performing specified servicing activities for others. Servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income, and are evaluated for potential impairment quarterly. For purposes of testing our servicing rights for impairment, we first determine whether facts and circumstances exist that would suggest the carrying value of the servicing asset is not recoverable. If so, we then compare the net present value of servicing cash flow with its carrying value. The estimated net present value of servicing cash flows is determined using discounted cash flow modeling techniques, which require management to make estimates regarding future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration historical and forecasted loan prepayment rates, delinquency rates and anticipated maturity defaults. If the carrying value of the servicing rights exceeds the net present value of servicing cash flows, the servicing rights are considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in earnings for the amount by which carrying value exceeds the net present value of servicing cash flows. We leverage all available relevant market data to determine the fair value of our recognized servicing assets. Since quoted market prices for servicing rights are not readily available, we estimate the fair value of servicing rights by determining the present value of future expected servicing cash flows using modeling techniques that incorporate management's best estimates of key variables including estimates regarding future net servicing cash flows, forecasted loan prepayment rates, delinquency rates, and return requirements commensurate with the risks involved. Cash flow assumptions are modeled using our internally forecasted revenue and expenses, and where possible, the reasonableness of assumptions is periodically validated through comparisons to market data. Prepayment speed estimates are determined from historical prepayment rates or obtained from third-party industry data. Return requirement assumptions are determined using data obtained from market participants, where available, or based on current relevant interest rates plus a risk-adjusted spread. We also consider other factors that can impact the value of the servicing rights, such as surety provider termination clauses and servicer terminations that could result if we failed to materially comply with the covenants or conditions of our servicing agreements and did not remedy the failure. Since many factors can affect the estimate of the fair value of servicing rights, we regularly evaluate the major assumptions and modeling techniques used in our estimate and review these assumptions against market comparables, if available. We monitor the actual performance of our servicing rights by regularly comparing actual cash flow, credit, and prepayment experience to modeled estimates. Servicing rights - Residential (carried at fair value) The Company’s residential mortgage servicing rights consist of conforming conventional residential loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or loans securitized in Ginnie Mae securities. Government insured loans serviced by the Company are securitized through Ginnie Mae, whereby the Company is insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Company has elected to account for its portfolio of residential mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) at fair value. For these assets, the Company uses a third-party vendor to assist management in estimating the fair value. The third-party vendor uses a discounted cash flow approach which consists of projecting servicing cash flows discounted at a rate that management believes market participants would use in their determinations of fair value. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include prepayment rates, discount rates, default rates, and cost of servicing rates. Residential MSRs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, held for sale	Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, held for sale Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, held for sale, includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations, generally through foreclosure, that is being marketed for sale. Real estate, held for sale is recorded at acquisition at the property’s estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. After acquisition, costs incurred relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized to the extent they do not cause the recorded value to exceed the net realizable value, whereas costs relating to holding and disposition of the property are expensed as incurred. After acquisition, real estate held for sale is analyzed periodically for changes in fair values and any subsequent write down is charged through impairment. The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of real estate when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of real estate to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether the collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the real estate is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. This adjustment is based on management’s estimate of the fair value of the loan extended to the buyer to finance the sale.
Intangible assets	Intangible assets Intangible assets are accounted for under ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other . As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s identifiable intangible assets include SBA license for our lending operations as well as a trade name, a favorable lease, and other licenses relating to our residential mortgage banking segment, obtained as part of the ZAIS Financial merger transaction. The Company determined that its SBA license has an indefinite life, while the other intangibles acquired as part of the ZAIS Financial merger transaction are finite-lived. The Company amortizes intangible assets with identified estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company initially records its intangible assets at cost and subsequently tests for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible assets are included within other assets on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.
Investment in unconsolidated joint venture	Investment in unconsolidated joint venture According to ASC 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures , investors in unincorporated entities such as partnerships and unincorporated joint ventures generally shall account for their investments using the equity method of accounting if the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Under the equity method, we recognize our share of the earnings or losses of the investment monthly in earnings and adjust the carrying amount for our share of the distributions that exceed our earnings. Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, we determined our interest in the entity is a VIE, however, we do not consolidate the entity as we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary only when it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined as possessing both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Deferred financing costs	Deferred financing costs Costs incurred in connection with our secured borrowings are accounted for under ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs . Deferred costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the respective financing term with such amortization reflected on our unaudited interim consolidated statements of income as a component of interest expense. Our deferred financing costs may include legal, accounting and other related fees. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2015-03, unamortized deferred financing costs related to securitizations and note issuances are presented on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the associated liability.
Due from Servicers	Due from Servicers The loan servicing activities of the Company’s SBC Loan Acquisitions and SBC Originations reportable segments are performed primarily by third-party servicers. SBA loans originated by and held at RCL are internally serviced. Residential mortgage loans originated by and held at GMFS are both serviced by third-party servicers and internally serviced. The Company’s servicers hold substantially all of the cash owned by the Company related to loan servicing activities. These amounts include principal and interest payments made by borrowers, net of advances and servicing fees. Cash is generally received within thirty days of recording the receivable. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent any servicer with whom the Company conducts business is unable to deliver cash balances or process loan-related transactions on the Company’s behalf. The Company monitors the financial condition of the servicers with whom the Company conducts business and believes the likelihood of loss under the aforementioned circumstances is remote.
Secured borrowings	Secured borrowings Secured borrowings include borrowings under credit facilities, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and promissory notes. Borrowings under credit facilities The Company accounts for borrowings under credit facilities under ASC 470, Debt. The Company partially finances its loans, net through credit agreements with various counterparties. These borrowings are collateralized by loans, held-for-investment, and loans, held for sale, at fair value and have maturity dates within two years from the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet date. If the fair value (as determined by the applicable counterparty) of the collateral securing these borrowings decreases, we may be subject to margin calls during the period the borrowings are outstanding. In instances where we do not satisfy the margin calls within the required time frame, the counterparty may retain the collateral and pursue collection of any outstanding debt amount from us. Interest paid and accrued in connection with credit facilities is recorded as interest expense on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. Borrowing under repurchase agreements Borrowings under repurchase agreements are accounted for under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing . Investment securities financed under repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized borrowings, unless they meet sale treatment or are deemed to be linked transactions. Through March 31, 2019, none of our repurchase agreements have been accounted for as components of linked transactions. All securities financed through a repurchase agreement have remained on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as an asset and cash received from the lender was recorded on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as a liability. Interest paid and accrued in connection with our repurchase agreements is recorded as interest expense on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income.
Securitized debt obligations of consolidated VIEs, net	Securitized debt obligations of consolidated VIEs, net Since 2011, we have engaged in several securitization transactions, which the Company accounts for under ASC 810. Securitization involves transferring assets to an SPE, or securitization trust, to convert all or a portion of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business, through the SPE’s issuance of debt instruments. The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. The consolidation of the SPE includes the issuance of senior securities to third parties, which are shown as securitized debt obligations of consolidated VIEs on the consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs related to securitizations are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method and are included in interest expense on the consolidated financial statements.
Convertible note, net	Convertible note, net ASC 470, Debt , requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. ASC 470-20 requires that the initial proceeds from the sale of these notes be allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the interest rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued by the Company at such time. We measured the estimated fair value of the debt component of our convertible notes as of the issuance date based on our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The equity components of the convertible senior notes have been reflected within additional paid-in capital in our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet, and the resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which the convertible notes are expected to be outstanding (through the maturity date) as additional non-cash interest expense. Upon repurchase of convertible debt instruments, ASC 470-20 requires the issuer to allocate total settlement consideration, inclusive of transaction costs, amongst the liability and equity components of the instrument based on the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to repurchase. The difference between the settlement consideration allocated to the liability component and the net carrying value of the liability component, including unamortized debt issuance costs, would be recognized as gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt in our unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. The remaining settlement consideration allocated to the equity component would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.
Senior secured notes, net	Senior secured notes, net The Company accounts for secured debt offerings under ASC 470, Debt. Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the Company’s senior secured notes are presented net of debt issuance costs. These senior secured notes are collateralized by loans, MBS, and retained interests of consolidated VIE’s. Interest paid and accrued in connection with senior secured notes is recorded as interest expense on the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income.
Corporate debt, net	Corporate debt, net The Company accounts for corporate debt offerings under ASC 470, Debt . The Company’s corporate debt is presented net of debt issuance costs. Interest paid and accrued in connection with corporate debt is recorded as interest expense on the unaudited consolidated statements of income.
Guaranteed loan financing	Guaranteed loan financing Certain partial loan sales do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing because these sales do not meet the definition of a “participating interest,” as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain as an investment on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds from the portion sold is recorded as guaranteed loan financing in the liabilities section of the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. For these partial loan sales, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded as interest income and the interest earned by the buyer in the partial loan sale is recorded within interest expense in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statements of income.
Repair and denial reserve	Repair and denial reserve The repair and denial reserve represents the potential liability to the SBA in the event that we are required to make the SBA whole for reimbursement of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. We may be responsible for the guaranteed portion of SBA loans if there are lien and collateral issues, unauthorized use of proceeds, liquidation deficiencies, undocumented servicing actions or denial of SBA eligibility. This reserve is calculated using an estimated frequency of a repair and denial event upon default, as well as an estimate of the severity of the repair and denial as a percentage of the guaranteed balance.
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; or (ii) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The entity that has a financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. An entity is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if the entity has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of our involvement with the VIE, such as our role establishing the VIE and our ongoing rights and responsibilities, the design of the VIE, our economic interests, servicing fees and servicing responsibilities, and other factors. We perform ongoing reassessments to evaluate whether changes in the entity’s capital structure or changes in the nature of our involvement with the entity result in a change to the VIE designation or a change to our consolidation conclusion.
Non-controlling Interests	Non-controlling Interests Non-controlling interests, which are presented on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets and the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income, represent direct investment in the Operating Partnership by Sutherland OP Holdings II, Ltd., which is managed by our Manager, and third parties.
Fair Value Option	Fair Value Option The guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments , provides a fair value option election that allows entities to make an election of fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain eligible financial assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the fair value option is determined on an instrument by instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to this guidance are required to be reported separately in our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets from those instruments using another accounting method. We have elected the fair value option for certain loans held-for-sale originated by ReadyCap that the Company intends to sell in the near term. The fair value elections for loans, held for sale at fair value originated by ReadyCap were made due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We have elected the fair value option for loans held-for-sale originated by GMFS that the Company intends to sell in the near term. We have elected the fair value option for certain residential mortgage servicing rights acquired as part of the merger transaction.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from our share-based compensation, consisting of unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), as well as “in-the-money” conversion options associated with our outstanding convertible senior notes. Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period. All of the Company’s unvested RSUs and unvested RSAs contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and, thus, are participating securities. Due to the existence of these participating securities, the two-class method of computing EPS is required, unless another method is determined to be more dilutive. Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings are reallocated between shares of common stock and participating securities.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes GAAP establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We assess the recoverability of deferred tax assets through evaluation of carryback availability, projected taxable income and other factors as applicable. Significant judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements or tax returns as well as the recoverability of amounts we record, including deferred tax assets. We provide for exposure in connection with uncertain tax positions, which requires significant judgment by management including determination, based on the weight of the tax law and available evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that a tax result will be realized. Our policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense on our unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we accrued no taxes, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. In addition, we do not anticipate a change in this position in the next 12 months.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, new accounting rules regarding revenue recognition became effective for public companies with a calendar fiscal year. Under the new accounting rules regarding revenue, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized through the following five-step process: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Since the updated guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest income, realized or unrealized gains on financial instruments, loan servicing fees, loan origination fees, among other revenue streams, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The revenue recognition guidance also included revisions to existing accounting rules regarding the determination of whether a company is acting as a principal or agent in an arrangement and accounting for sales of nonfinancial assets where the seller has continuing involvement. These additional revisions also did not materially impact the Company. Interest Income Interest income on non-PCI loans, held-for-investment, loans, held at fair value, loans, held for sale, at fair value, and MBS, at fair value is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the instrument. Discounts or premiums associated with the loans and investment securities are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method, based on contractual cash flows through the maturity date of the investment. On at least a quarterly basis, we review and, if appropriate, make adjustments to the accrual status of the asset. If the asset has been delinquent for the previous 90 days, the asset status will turn to non-accrual, and recognition of interest income will be suspended until the asset resumes contractual payments for three consecutive months. For PCI loans, the excess of the cash flows expected to be collected on these loans, measured as of the acquisition date, over the initial investment is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method of accretion. Realized Gains (Losses) Upon the sale or disposition (not including the prepayment of outstanding principal balance) of loans or securities, the excess (or deficiency) of net proceeds over the net carrying value or cost basis of such loans or securities is recognized as a realized gain/loss. Origination Income and Expense Origination income represents fees received for origination of either loans, held at fair value, loans, held for sale, at fair value, or loans, held-for-investment. For loans held, at fair value, and loans, held for sale, at fair value, pursuant to ASC 825, the Company reports origination fee income as revenue and fees charged and costs incurred as expenses. These fees and costs are excluded from the fair value. For originated loans, held-for-investment, under ASC 310-10, the Company defers these origination fees and costs at origination and amortizes them under the effective interest method over the life of the loan. Origination fees and expenses for ReadyCap loans, held at fair value and loans, held for sale, at fair value, are presented in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income in other income and operating expenses. Origination fees for residential mortgage loans originated by GMFS are presented in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income in residential mortgage banking activities, while origination expenses are presented within variable expenses on residential mortgage banking activities. The amortization of net origination fees and expenses for loans, held-for-investment are presented in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income in interest income.
Residential Mortgage Banking Activities	Residential Mortgage Banking Activities Residential mortgage banking activities, reflects revenue within our residential mortgage banking business directly related to loan origination and sale activity. This primarily consists of the realized gains on sales of residential loans held for sale and loan origination fee income, Residential mortgage banking activities also consists of unrealized gains and losses associated with the changes in fair value of the loans held for sale, the fair value of retained MSR additions, and the realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivative instruments. Gains and losses from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale are recognized based upon the difference between the sales proceeds and carrying value of the related loans upon sale and is included in residential mortgage banking activities, in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. Sales proceeds reflect the cash received from investors from the sale of a loan plus the servicing release premium if the related MSR is sold. Gains and losses also includes the unrealized gains and losses associated with the mortgage loans held for sale and the realized and unrealized gains and losses from IRLCs. Loan origination fee income represents revenue earned from originating mortgage loans held for sale and are reflected in residential mortgage banking activities, when loans are sold. Variable Expenses on Residential Mortgage Banking Activities Loan expenses include indirect costs related to loan origination activities, such as correspondent fees, and are expensed as incurred and are included within variable expenses on residential mortgage banking activities on the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated statements of income. The provision for loan indemnification includes the fair value of the incurred liability for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications recognized at the time of loan sale and any other provisions recorded against the loan indemnification reserve. Loan origination costs directly attributable to the processing, underwriting, and closing of a loan are included in the gain on sale of mortgage loans held for sale when loans are sold.
