(1)Because there is no readily available market for these loans, these loans were valued using significant unobservable inputs under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and were approved in good faith by Terra REIT Advisors, LLC (“Terra REIT Advisors”), Terra Property Trust’s manager, pursuant to Terra Property Trust’s valuation policy.

(2)Amount represents the Company’s portion, or 76.5%, of the fair value or net investment value.

(3)Percentage is based on the Company’s pro rata share of the fair value or net investment value over the Company’s total members’ capital of $236.9 million at September 30, 2020.

(4)Terra Property Trust entered into a forbearance agreement with the borrower to allow for more time to make the interest payment.

(5)The loan participations from Terra Property Trust do not qualify for sale accounting and therefore, the gross amount of these loans remain in the consolidated balance sheets.

(6)Terra Property Trust sold a portion of its interest in this loan through a participation agreement to Terra Income Fund 6, Inc., an affiliated fund advised by Terra Income Advisors, LLC (“Terra Income Advisors”), an affiliate of our sponsor and Terra Property Trust’s manager.

(7)On June 27, 2018, Terra Property Trust entered into a participation agreement with Terra Income Fund 6, Inc. to purchase a 25% interest, or $4.3 million, in a mezzanine loan. As of September 30, 2020, the commitment was fully funded.

(8)In June 2020, Terra Property Trust amended the credit facility agreement to provide for interest at a fixed rate of 16.00% and to capitalize any unpaid interest to principal.

(11)These loans were used as collateral for $105.9 million of borrowings under a term loan payable.

(12)In March 2020, Terra Property Trust restructured the loan into A-note and B-note. In connection with the restructuring, Terra Property Trust sold the A-note to a third-party.

(13)Terra Property Trust acquired this property through foreclosure of a $54.0 million first mortgage.

(14)Terra Property Trust acquired the collateral for this loan via deed in lieu of foreclosure. On June 30, 2019, Terra Property Trust recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million on the land in order to reduce the carrying value of the land to its estimated fair value, which is the estimated selling price less the cost of sale.

(15)Percentage is based on Terra Property Trust’s net exposure on the property (real estate owned less encumbrance).

(16)From time to time, Terra Property Trust might invest in short-term debt and equity securities. These securities are comprised of shares of preferred stock and bonds.

Terra Secured Income Fund 5, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2020

Note 1. Business

Terra Secured Income Fund 5, LLC (the “Company”), is a real estate credit focused company that originates, structures, funds and manages high yielding commercial real estate investments, including mezzanine loans, first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans and preferred equity investments throughout the United States. The Company’s loans finance the acquisition, construction, development or redevelopment of quality commercial real estate in the United States. The Company focuses on the origination of middle market loans in the approximately $10 million to $50 million range, to finance properties in primary and secondary markets. The Company believes loans of this size are subject to less competition, offer higher risk adjusted returns than larger loans with similar risk metrics and facilitate portfolio diversification. The Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on April 24, 2013 and commenced operations on August 8, 2013. The Company makes substantially all of its investments and conducts substantially all of its real estate lending business through Terra Property Trust, which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s objectives are to (i) preserve its members’ capital contributions, (ii) realize income from its investments and (iii) make monthly distributions to its members from cash generated from investments. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in meeting its objectives.

In December 2015, the members approved the merger of Terra Secured Income Fund, LLC (“Terra Fund 1”), Terra Secured Income Fund 2, LLC (“Terra Fund 2”), Terra Secured Income Fund 3, LLC (“Terra Fund 3”) and Terra Secured Income Fund 4, LLC (“Terra Fund 4”) with and into subsidiaries of the Company (individually, each a “Terra Fund” and collectively, the “Terra Funds”) through a series of separate mergers effective January 1, 2016 (collectively, the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the Company contributed the consolidated portfolio of net assets of the 5 Terra Funds to Terra Property Trust, a newly-formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that elected to be taxed as a REIT, in exchange for the shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became the parent company of Terra Funds 1 through 4 and the direct and indirect sole common stockholder of, and began conducting substantially all of its real estate lending business through, Terra Property Trust.

On March 2, 2020, Terra Fund 1, Terra Fund 2 and Terra Fund 3 merged with and into Terra Fund 4, with Terra Fund 4 continuing as the surviving company (the “Terra Fund Merger”), and the Company consolidated its holdings of shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust in Terra Fund 4. Subsequent to the Terra Fund Merger, the legal name of Terra Fund 4 was changed to Terra JV. On March 2, 2020, Terra Property Trust engaged in a series of transactions pursuant to which Terra Property Trust issued an aggregate of 4,574,470.35 shares of its common stock in exchange for the settlement of an aggregate of $49.8 million of participation interests in loans that Terra Property Trust owned, cash of $25.5 million and other working capital. As of September 30, 2020, Terra JV held 87.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Terra Property Trust’s common stock with the remainder held by Terra Offshore Funds, and the Company and Terra Fund 7 owned an 87.6% and 12.4% percentage interest, respectively, in Terra JV (Note 4). The Company does not consolidate Terra JV because the Company and Terra Fund 7 share joint approval rights with respect to certain major decisions that are taken by Terra JV and Terra Property Trust (Note 4).

The Company’s investment activities are externally managed by Terra Fund Advisors, LLC (“Terra Fund Advisors”). The Company does not currently have any employees and does not expect to have any employees. Services necessary for the Company’s business are provided by individuals who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates or by individuals who were contracted by the Company or by the Manager or its affiliates to work on behalf of the Company pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement, as amended.

The Company’s amended and restated operating agreement provides that the Company’s existence will continue until December 31, 2023, unless sooner terminated. However, the Company expects that prior to such date it will consummate a liquidity transaction, which may include an orderly liquidation of its assets or an alternative liquidity event such as a sale of the Company or an initial public offering and listing of Terra Property Trust’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange. The Manager would pursue an alternative liquidity event only if it believes such a transaction would be in the best interests of the Company’s members.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and for the three and nine ended September 30, 2019 and the period from January 1, 2020 to March 1, 2020 included all of the Company’s accounts and those of its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions had been eliminated. As discussed in Note 1, on March 2, 2020, the Company’s subsidiaries completed the Terra Fund Merger. As a result of the Terra Fund Merger, the Company no longer consolidates the subsidiaries. The financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the period from March 2, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes all of the Company’s accounts only.

The accompanying interim financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company is an investment company, as defined under U.S. GAAP, and applies accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As of September 30, 2020, there has been a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which has spread to over 200 countries and territories, including the United States, and has spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization has designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading and operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of September 30, 2020, however uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of September 30, 2020 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Equity Investment in Terra JV or Terra Property Trust

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Income Taxes

No provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as individual members are responsible for their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. The Company, however, may be liable for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (the “NYC UBT”) and similar taxes of various other municipalities. New York City imposes the NYC UBT at a statutory rate of 4% on net income generated from ordinary business activities carried on in New York City. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, none of the Company’s income was subject to the NYC UBT.

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

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, its primary tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company’s 2015-2019 federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of information required by U.S. GAAP. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 added, removed and modified certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Company’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. Fair value for these investments are determined using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value

The following table summarizes the Company’s equity investment at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	September 30, 2020
	Fair Value Measurements
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investment:
Equity investment in Terra JV	$	0	$	0	$	236,758,305	$	236,758,305


	December 31, 2019
	Fair Value Measurements
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investment:
Equity investment in Terra Property Trust	$	0	$	0	$	247,263,245	$	247,263,245

Changes in Level 3 investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Equity Investment in Terra JV		Equity Investment in Terra Property Trust
	Period from March 2, 2020 to September 30, 2020		Period from January 1, 2020 to March 1, 2020		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Return of capital	(5,497,444)		(3,783,607)		(15,834,232)
Net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on investment	(1,751,141)		527,252		4,853,466
Ending balance	$	236,758,305	$	0	$	252,111,820
Net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on investment for the period relating to those Level 3 assets that were still held by the Company	$	(1,751,141)	$	527,252	$	4,853,466

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which transfers occur. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no transfers.

The Company estimated that its other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their short-term nature.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurement

Market quotations are not readily available for the Company’s investment in Terra Property Trust or Terra JV, which is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s sole investment takes into consideration the fair value of Terra Property Trust’s assets and liabilities which are valued utilizing a yield approach, i.e. a discounted cash flow methodology. In following this methodology, loans are evaluated individually, and management takes into account, in determining the risk-adjusted discount rate for each of Terra Property Trust’s loans, relevant factors, including available current market data on applicable yields of comparable debt/preferred equity instruments; market credit spreads and yield curves; the investment’s yield; covenants of the investment, including prepayment provisions; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its net operating income, debt-service coverage ratio; construction progress reports and construction budget analysis; the nature, quality, and realizable value of any collateral (and loan-to-value ratio); and the forces that influence the local markets in which the asset (the collateral) is purchased and sold, such as capitalization rates, occupancy rates, rental rates, replacement costs and the anticipated duration of each real estate-related loan.

The Manager designates a valuation committee to oversee the entire valuation process of Terra Property Trust’s Level 3 investments. The valuation committee is comprised of members of the Manager’s senior management, deal and portfolio management teams, who meet on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as needed, to review Terra Property Trust investments being valued as well as the inputs used in the proprietary valuation model. Valuations determined by the valuation committee are supported by pertinent data and, in addition to a proprietary valuation model, are based on market data, third-party valuation data and discount rates or other methods the valuation committee deems to be appropriate.

The following tables summarize the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used by the Company to value the Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead identify the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the determination of fair values.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in extreme volatility in a variety of global markets, including the real estate-related debt markets. U.S. financial markets, in particular, are experiencing limited liquidity and forced selling by certain market participants with insufficient liquidity available to meet current obligations, which puts further downward pressure on asset prices.

As the Company’s investment is carried at fair value with fair value changes recognized in the statements of operations, any changes in fair value would directly affect the Company’s members’ capital.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Operating Agreement

The Company has an operating agreement, as amended, with Terra Fund Advisors. The operating agreement, as amended, is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2023 unless the Company is dissolved earlier. Starting January 1, 2016, the Company conducts all of its real estate lending business through Terra Property Trust. As such, Terra Property Trust is responsible for management compensation paid and operating expenses reimbursed to its manager pursuant to a management agreement with the manager.

Dividend Income

As discussed in Note 3, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company received approximately $3.1 million and $7.6 million of distributions from Terra JV and/or Terra Property Trust as applicable, respectively, of which $0 and $4.6 million were returns of capital, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company received approximately $14.3 million and $22.8 million of distributions from Terra JV and/or Terra Property Trust as applicable, respectively, of which $9.3 million and $15.8 million were returns of capital, respectively.

TPT2 Merger

On February 28, 2020, Terra Property Trust entered into certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Terra Property Trust, Terra Property Trust 2, Inc. (“TPT2”) and Terra Fund 7, the sole stockholder of TPT2, pursuant to which TPT2 merged with and into Terra Property Trust, with Terra Property Trust continuing as the surviving corporation (the “TPT2 Merger”), effective March 1, 2020. In connection with the TPT2 Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TPT2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the TPT2 Merger was converted into the right to receive from Terra Property Trust a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Terra Property Trust equal to an exchange ratio, which was 1.2031. The exchange ratio was based on the relative fair value of Terra Property Trust and TPT2 as of December 31, 2019 as adjusted to reflect changes in net working capital of each of Terra Property Trust and TPT2 during the period from January 1, 2020 through March 1, 2020, the effective time for the TPT2 Merger. For purposes of determining the respective fair values of Terra Property Trust and TPT2, the value of the loans (or participation interests therein) held by each of Terra Property Trust and TPT2 was the value of such loans (or participation interests) as set forth in the audited financial statements of Terra Property Trust as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a result, Terra Fund 7 received 2,116,785.76 shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust as consideration in the TPT2 Merger and subsequently contributed these shares to Terra JV. The shares of Terra Property Trust common stock issued in connection with the TPT2 Merger were issued in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder

Issuance of Common Stock to Terra Offshore Funds

In addition, on March 2, 2020, Terra Property Trust entered into two separate contribution agreements, one by and among Terra Property Trust, Terra Offshore Funds and Terra Income Fund International, and another by and among Terra Property Trust, Terra Offshore Funds and Terra Secured Income Fund 5 International, pursuant to which Terra Property Trust issued 2,457,684.59 shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust to Terra Offshore Funds in exchange for the settlement of $32.1 million of participation interests in loans also held by Terra Property Trust, $8.6 million in cash and other working capital (“Issuance of Common Stock to Terra Offshore Funds”). The shares of common stock were issued in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. On April 29, 2020, Terra Property Trust repurchased, at a purchase price $17.02 per share, 212,691 shares of common stock that Terra Property Trust had previously sold to Terra Offshore Funds on September 30, 2019.

Terra JV, LLC

Prior to the completion of the TPT2 Merger and the Issuance of Common Stock to Terra Offshore Funds transactions described above, the Company owned approximately 98.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Terra Property Trust’s common stock indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, Terra JV, of which the Company was the sole managing member, and the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Terra Property Trust’s common stock were owned by Terra Offshore Funds.

As described above, Terra Property Trust acquired TPT2 in the TPT2 Merger and, in connection with such transaction, Terra Fund 7 contributed the shares of Terra Property Trust’s common stock received as consideration in the TPT2 Merger to

On March 2, 2020, Terra Property Trust, the Company, Terra JV and Terra REIT Advisors also entered into the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company assigned its rights and obligations under the Voting Agreement to Terra JV. Consistent with the original voting agreement dated February 8, 2018, for the period that Terra REIT Advisors remains the external manager of Terra Property Trust, Terra REIT Advisors will have the right to nominate two individuals to serve as directors of Terra Property Trust, until Terra JV no longer holds at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Terra Property Trust’s common stock, Terra JV will have the right to nominate one individual to serve as a director of Terra Property Trust.

As of September 30, 2020, Terra JV owns approximately 87.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Terra Property Trust common stock with the remainder held by Terra Offshore Funds, and the Company and Terra Fund 7 own an 87.6% and 12.4% interest, respectively, in Terra JV.

Overview

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

On January 1, 2016, Terra Secured Income Fund, LLC (“Terra Fund 1”), Terra Fund Secured Income Fund 2, LLC (“Terra Fund 2”), Terra Secured Income Fund 3, LLC (“Terra Fund 3”) and Terra Secured Income Fund 4, LLC (“Terra Fund 4”) merged with and into our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Terra Funds”) through a series of separate mergers (collectively, the “Merger”). Following the Merger, we contributed the consolidated portfolio of our net assets and the net assets of the Terra Funds to Terra Property Trust in exchange for all of the shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust. We elected to engage in these transactions, which we refer to as the “REIT formation transactions,” to make our investments through Terra Property Trust and to provide our members with a more broadly diversified portfolio of assets, while at the same time providing us with enhanced access to capital and borrowings, lower operating costs and enhanced opportunities for growth.

On March 2, 2020, Terra Fund 1, Terra Fund 2 and Terra Fund 3 merged with and into Terra Fund 4, with Terra Fund 4 continuing as the surviving company (the “Terra Fund Merger”), and we consolidated our holdings of shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust in Terra Fund 4. Subsequent to the Terra Fund Merger, the legal name of Terra Fund 4 was changed to Terra JV, LLC. On March 2, 2020, Terra Property Trust engaged in a series of transactions pursuant to which Terra Property Trust issued an aggregate of 4,574,470.35 shares of its common stock in exchange for the settlement of an aggregate of $49.8 million of participation interests in loans that Terra Property Trust owned, cash of $25.5 million and other working capital. On April 29, 2020, Terra Property Trust repurchased, at a purchase price of $17.02 per share, 212,691 shares of common stock that Terra Property Trust had previously sold to Terra Offshore Funds on September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, Terra JV held 87.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Terra Property Trust’s common stock with the remainder held by Terra Offshore Funds, and we and Terra Fund 7 owned an 87.6% and 12.4% percentage interest, respectively, in Terra JV. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2020, we indirectly beneficially owned 76.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust through Terra JV.

Recent Developments

As of September 30, 2020, there has been a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has spread to over 200 countries and territories, including the United States, and has spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization has designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading, and limiting operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, increasing rates of unemployment and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown.

While we believe that compelling opportunities for us will emerge as a result of the economic downtown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are in the early stages of assessing its full impact on the commercial real estate market. While it has had a demonstrable effect on employment, the economy and the national psyche, the impact of the pandemic on property values has yet to be fully realized. The reason is that property values are the result of slow moving forces, including consumer behavior, supply and demand for space, availability and pricing of mortgage financing and investor demand for property. As these factors become clear and commercial real estate is repriced accordingly, we believe there will be abundant opportunities available to experienced alternative lenders such as us to provide financing for property acquisition, refinancing, development and redevelopment on attractive terms that reflect the new realities of the economy.

(1)Other includes $7.5 million and $0.3 million of unused portion of a credit facility, $2.6 million and a $1.7 million of loans with collateral located in Kansas, and $3.0 million and $1.9 million of loans with collateral located in South Carolina at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Factors Impacting Operating Results

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

Market Risk

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

Credit Risk

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

The performance and value of Terra Property Trust’s loans depend upon the sponsors’ ability to operate or manage the development of the respective properties that serve as collateral so that each property’s value ultimately supports the repayment

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

In addition, Terra Property Trust is exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates, and other macroeconomic factors beyond its control. Terra Property Trust seeks to manage these risks through its underwriting and asset management processes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the commercial real estate markets, causing reduced occupancy, requests from tenants for rent deferral or abatement, and delays in construction and development projects currently planned or underway. These negative conditions may persist into the future and impair Terra Property Trust’s borrowers’ ability to pay principal and interest due to Terra Property Trust under its loan agreements.

We and Terra Property Trust maintain all of our cash at financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Concentration Risk

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

Liquidity Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

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

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

Prepayment Risk

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

Extension Risk

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

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial and residential mortgage assets are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; retroactive changes to building or similar codes; pandemics; natural disasters and other acts of god. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause Terra Property Trust to suffer losses. Market volatility has been particularly heightened due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. COVID-19 has disrupted economic activities and could have a continued significant adverse effect on economic and market conditions including limited lending from financial institutions, depressed asset values, and limited market liquidity.

Use of Leverage

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

Dividend Income

Dividend income associated with our indirect ownership of Terra Property Trust primarily represents our proportionate share of Terra Property Trust’s net income for the period. Any excess of distributions received from Terra Property Trust over its net income is recorded as return of capital. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we indirectly beneficially owned 76.5% through Terra JV and directly owned 98.6%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Terra Property Trust.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we received distributions of $3.1 million and $7.6 million, or $0.20 and $0.51 per share, from Terra Property Trust and/or Terra JV, as applicable, of which $3.1 million and $3.0 million was recorded as dividend income and $0.0 million and $4.6 million was recorded as return of capital, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we received distributions of $14.3 million and $22.8 million, or $0.96 and $1.53 per share, from Terra Property Trust and/or Terra JV, as applicable, of which $5.0 million and $6.9 million was recorded as dividend income and $9.3 million and $15.8 million was recorded as return of capital, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, Terra Property Trust’s net income decreased by $1.0 million, primarily due to an increase in fees paid and operating expenses reimbursed to Terra Property Trust’s Manager of $0.7 million as a result of an increase in assets under management and an increase in allocation ratio in relation to affiliated funds managed by Terra Property Trust’s Manager and its affiliates, and an increase in net operating loss of $0.2 million from its operating real estate as a result of a lease termination on September 4, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, Terra Property Trust’s net income decreased by $1.5 million, primarily due to (i) a decrease in net interest income of $2.0 million as a result of a decrease in the weighted average outstanding principal balance of net investments resulting from a higher volume of loan repayments than new loan originations and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on net investments driven by new loan originations having lower coupon rates than those of the loans that were repaid; (ii) a provision for loan losses of $1.4 million on four loans with a loan risk rating of “4” and a past-due loan; (iii) an increase in fees paid and operating expenses reimbursed to Terra Property Trust’s Manager of $1.8 million as a result of an increase in assets under management and an increase in allocation ratio in relation to affiliated funds managed by Terra Property Trust’s Manager and its affiliates; and (iv) a net loss of $0.3 million on extinguishment of obligations under participation agreement; partially offset by (i) a decrease in professional fees of $2.0 million as a result of $2.4 million of professional fees directly incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and which were previously deferred, in contemplation of Terra Property Trust becoming a public entity; (ii) a decrease in net real estate operating loss of $0.8 million primarily as a result of a $1.6 million of impairment charge recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on a piece of land in order to reduce the carrying value of the land to its estimated fair value, partially offset by a loss incurred in connection with a lease termination; and (iii) a gain on sale of marketable securities of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Net Loan Portfolio

In assessing the performance of Terra Property Trust’s loans, we believe it is appropriate to evaluate the loans on an economic basis, that is, gross loans net of obligations under participation agreements, term loan payable, revolving credit facility and repurchase agreement payable.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Terra Property Trust’s loan portfolio from a gross basis to a net basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

_______________

(1)Amount is calculated based on the number of days each loan is outstanding.

(2)Amount is calculated based on the underlying principal amount of each loan.

(3)The weighted average coupon rate represents net interest income over the period calculated using the weighted average coupon rate and weighted average principal amount shown on the table (interest income on the loans less interest expense) divided by the weighted average principal amount of the net loans during the period.

(4)Subordinated loans include mezzanine loans, preferred equity investments and credit facilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, the decrease in weighted average coupon rate was primarily due to a higher volume of loan originations with lower coupon rates.

Net Change in Unrealized (Depreciation) Appreciation on Investment

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment reflects the change in Terra Property Trust’s fair value during the reporting period. There may be fluctuations in unrealized gains and losses of the underlying portfolio as loans within the portfolio approach their respective maturity dates. In addition, the unrealized gains or losses in the portfolio may fluctuate over time due to changes in the market yields.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net change in unrealized depreciation on investment of $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to net change in unrealized appreciation on investment of $1.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase in unrealized depreciation on investment in the current periods was due to widening credit spreads partially offset by decreases in underlying index rates as a result of the macro-economic conditions impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The increase in unrealized appreciation on investment in the prior period was due to the fair value of the Company’s investment in Terra Property Trust went up as a result of higher fair values of the underlying loans and assets.

Net Increase in Members’ Capital Resulting from Operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, the net increase in members’ capital resulting from operations decreased by $3.2 million and decreased by $8.0 million, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including funding and maintaining our assets and operations, making distributions to our members and other general business needs. Our primary cash requirements for the next twelve months are making the discretionary recurring distributions to our members. We expect to use cash distributions received from Terra Property Trust to meet such cash requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Terra Property Trust paid distributions of $0.0805, $0.0738 and $0.0738 per share of common stock for each of the months of April, May and June, respectively, which translated to a distribution rate of approximately 5.5% of the fair value per share. Going forward, Terra Property Trust targets a distribution rate of approximately 5.0% of the fair value per share, which Terra Property Trust believes is more closely aligned with its earnings per share. Distributions are made at the discretion of Terra Property Trust’s board and will depend upon, among other things, its actual results of operations and liquidity.

A total of $26.3 million of Terra Property Trust’s obligations under participation agreements will mature in the next twelve months and Terra Property Trust expects to use the proceeds from the repayment of the corresponding investments to repay the participation obligations. Additionally, Terra Property Trust expects to fund approximately $60.6 million of the unfunded commitments to borrowers during the next twelve months. Terra Property Trust expects to maintain sufficient cash on hand to fund such commitments through matching these commitments with principal repayments on outstanding loans. Additionally, Terra Property Trust had $44.2 million of borrowings outstanding under a mortgage loan payable that bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.85% with a LIBOR floor of 2.23%, that is collateralized by an office building. The mortgage loan payable matures on September 27, 2022. Terra Property Trust may also issue additional equity, equity-related and debt securities to fund its investment strategies. Terra Property Trust may issue these securities to unaffiliated third parties or to vehicles advised by affiliates of Terra Capital Partners or third parties. As part of its capital raising transactions, Terra Property Trust may grant to one or more of these vehicles certain control rights over its activities including rights to approve major decisions it takes as part of its business.

On September 3, 2020, Terra Property Trust entered into an indenture and credit agreement that provides for a floating rate term loan of $103.0 million, $3.6 million of additional future advances, and may provide up to $11.6 million of additional future discretionary advances, in connection with certain outstanding funding commitments under mortgage assets owned by Terra Property Trust and financed under the indenture and credit agreement. The floating rate loan bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, and matures on March 14, 2025. As of September 30, 2020, the amount outstanding under the indenture and credit agreement was $105.9 million.

On June 20, 2019, Terra Property Trust entered into a credit agreement that provides for revolving credit loans of up to $35.0 million in the aggregate, which Terra Property Trust expects to use for short term financing needed to bridge the timing of anticipated loans repayments and funding obligations. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility can be either prime rate loans or LIBOR rate loans and accrue interest at an annual rate of prime rate plus 1% or LIBOR plus 4% with a floor of 6%. The credit facility matured on September 3, 2020; however, Terra Property Trust is currently negotiating with the lender to extend the maturity of the revolving credit facility by a year and the lender has waived the maturity default. As of September 30, 2020, the revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $25.0 million. Terra Property Trust has sufficient cash on hand to repay the amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

2020 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash flows provided by operating activities were $13.7 million, primarily due to $14.3 million of dividends received from Terra Property Trust and/or Terra JV, as applicable, of which $9.3 million was recorded as a return of capital.

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

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities

2020 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash flows used in financing activities were $13.5 million primarily related to distributions paid to members.

2019 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash flows used in financing activities was $22.4 million, primarily related to distributions paid to members.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As we execute our expected operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

◦Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

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

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

◦Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially full term of the asset or liability.

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

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

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

Income Taxes

No provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as individual members are responsible for their proportionate share of our taxable income. We, however, may be liable for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (the “NYC UBT”) and similar taxes of various other municipalities. New York City imposes the NYC UBT at a statutory rate of 4% on net income generated from ordinary business activities carried on in New York City. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, none of our income was subject to the NYC UBT.

We did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did we have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in our statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not incur any interest or penalties. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. Our 2015-2019 federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

___________________________

(1)In the normal course of business, Terra Property Trust enters into participation agreements with related parties, and to a lesser extent, non-related parties, whereby it transfers a portion of the loans to them. These loan participations do not qualify for sale treatment. As such, the loans remain on its consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are recorded as obligations under participation agreements. Similarly, interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within “Interest income” and the interest related to the participation interest is recorded within “Interest expense from obligations under participation agreements” in the consolidated statements of operations. Terra Property Trust has no direct liability to a participant under our participation agreements with respect to the underlying loan, and the participants’ share of the loan is repayable only from the proceeds received from the related borrower/issuer of the loans.

(2)Amount excludes unamortized origination and exit fees of $0.1 million.

(3)Amount excludes unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.4 million.

(4)Terra Property Trust’s revolving credit facility was scheduled to mature on June 20, 2020. Terra Property Trust amended the credit agreement to extend the maturity to September 3, 2020. Terra Property Trust is currently negotiating with the lender to extend the revolving credit facility by a year and the lender has waived the maturity default. Terra Property Trust has sufficient cash on hand to repay the amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

(5)Interest was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rate and balance outstanding at September 30, 2020. Amount represents interest expense through maturity plus exit fee as application.

(6)Certain of Terra Property Trust’s loans provide for a commitment to fund the borrower at a future date. As of September 30, 2020, Terra Property Trust had seven of such loans with total funding commitments of $262.1 million, of which $197.9 million had been funded.

(7)Represents rental obligation under the ground lease, inclusive of imputed interest, for Terra Property Trust’s office building that it acquired through foreclosure.

The table above does not include Terra Property Trust’s commitment under a subscription agreement with Terra Opportunities Fund to fund up to $50.0 million to purchase the limited partnership interests in Terra Opportunities Fund as the

subscription agreement does not have fixed or determinable payments. On November 5, 2020, Terra Property Trust funded $3.6 million of the commitment.

Management Agreement with Terra REIT Advisors

Terra Property Trust currently pays the following fees to Terra REIT Advisors pursuant to a management agreement:

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

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

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

Disposition Fee. A disposition fee in the amount of 1.0% of the gross sale price received by Terra Property Trust from the disposition of each loan, but not upon the maturity, prepayment, workout, modification or extension of a loan unless there is a corresponding fee paid by the borrower, in which case the disposition fee will be the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the principal amount of the loan and (ii) the amount of the fee paid by the borrower in connection with such transaction. If Terra Property Trust takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a loan, Terra Property Trust will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such property equal to 1.0% of the sales price.

Transaction Breakup Fee. In the event that Terra Property Trust receives any “breakup fees,” “busted-deal fees,” termination fees, or similar fees or liquidated damages from a third-party in connection with the termination or non-consummation of any loan or disposition transaction, Terra REIT Advisors will be entitled to receive one-half of such amounts, in addition to the reimbursement of all out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Terra REIT Advisors with respect to its evaluation and pursuit of such transactions.

In addition to the fees described above, Terra Property Trust reimburses Terra REIT Advisors for operating expenses incurred in connection with services provided to the operations of Terra Property Trust, including Terra Property Trust’s allocable share of Terra REIT Advisors’ overhead, such as rent, employee costs, utilities, and technology costs.

The following table presents a summary of fees paid and costs reimbursed to the predecessor to Terra REIT Advisors and Terra REIT Advisors in the aggregate in connection with providing services to Terra Property Trust:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Origination and extension fee expense (1)	$	285,205	$	270,036	$	973,423	$	1,070,588
Asset management fee	1,151,166		942,548		3,321,125		2,779,888
Asset servicing fee	258,860		220,881		746,384		652,122
Operating expenses reimbursed to Manager	1,719,767		1,308,453		4,781,831		3,636,971
Disposition fee (2)	95,889		721,612		391,833		1,358,636
Total	$	3,510,887	$	3,463,530	$	10,214,596	$	9,498,205

_______________

(1)Origination and extension fee expense is generally offset with origination and extension fee income. Any excess is deferred and amortized to interest income over the term of the loan.

(2)Disposition fee is generally offset with exit fee income and included in interest income on the consolidated statements of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We may be subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of September 30, 2020, Terra Property Trust had 13 investments with an aggregate principal balance of $274.3 million, net of obligations under participation agreements, that provide for interest income at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread, 11 of which are subject to a LIBOR floor. A decrease of 100 basis points in LIBOR would decrease Terra Property Trust’s annual interest income, net of interest expense on participation agreements, by approximately $0.1 million, and an increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR would increase Terra Property Trust’s annual interest income, net of interest expense on participation agreements, by approximately $0.6 million.

Additionally, Terra Property Trust had $44.2 million of borrowings outstanding under a mortgage loan payable that bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.85% with a LIBOR floor of 2.23%, that is collateralized by an office building; and $105.9 million of borrowings outstanding under an indenture and credit facility that bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 4.25% with a LIBOR floor of 1.0% collateralized by $181.0 million of first mortgages. A decrease of 100 basis points in LIBOR had no impact on Terra Property Trust’s total annual interest expense because the debts are protected by LIBOR floors and an increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR would increase Terra Property Trust’s annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would cease to compel banks to participate in setting LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021, or the LIBOR transition date. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve, has recommended Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a more robust reference rate alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. SOFR is calculated based on overnight transactions under repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. SOFR is observed and backward looking, which stands in contrast with LIBOR under the current methodology, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting panel members. Given that SOFR is a secured rate backed by government securities, it will be a rate that does not take into account bank credit risk (as is the case with LIBOR). SOFR is therefore likely to be lower than LIBOR and is less likely to correlate with the funding costs of financial institutions. Whether or not SOFR attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question. As such, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain.

Potential changes, or uncertainty related to such potential changes, may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based loans, including Terra Property Trust’s portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate loans, or the cost of its borrowings. In addition, changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for LIBOR-based loans, including the value of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate loans in Terra Property Trust’s portfolio, or the cost of its borrowings. The potential effect of the phase-out or replacement of LIBOR on Terra Property Trust’s cost of capital and net investment income cannot yet be determined.

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments, such as futures, options and forward contracts, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our Manager (performing functions equivalent to those a principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our company would perform if we had any officers), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our Manager concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under

Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Neither we, Terra Property Trust, Terra JV nor our Manager is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are material legal proceedings threatened against us, Terra Property Trust, Terra JV or our Manager. From time to time, we, Terra Property Trust, Terra JV and individuals employed by our Manager or its affiliates may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than as set forth below.

Major public health issues, including the current outbreak of COVID-19, and related disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and financial markets have adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition and results of operations.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries continues to adversely impact global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization publicly characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of the virus increased around the world, governments and organizations have implemented a variety of actions to mobilize efforts to mitigate the ongoing and expected impact. Many governments, including where real estate is located that secures or underlies a significant portion of Terra Property Trust's commercial real estate loans, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closures, bans on public events and on public gatherings, “shelter in place” or “stay at home” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, with exceptions, in certain cases, available for certain essential operations and businesses, and/or restrictions on types of construction projects that may continue. Further, such actions have created, and we expect will continue to create, disruption in real estate financing transactions and the commercial real estate market and adversely impacted a number of industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and continue to cause regional, national and global economic slowdowns and potentially trigger recessions in any or all of these areas.

In the United States, there have been a number of federal, state and local government initiatives applicable to a significant number of mortgage loans, to manage the spread of the virus and its impact on the economy, financial markets and continuity of businesses of all sizes and industries. On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Congress approved, and President Trump signed into law, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act provides approximately $2 trillion in financial assistance to individuals and businesses resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, provides certain measures to support individuals and businesses in maintaining solvency through monetary relief, including in the form of financing and loan forgiveness and/or forbearance. Although this action by the federal government,

together with other actions taken at the federal, regional and local levels, are intended to support these economies, there is no guarantee that such measures will provide sufficient relief to avoid continued adverse effects on the economy and potentially a recession. Similar actions have been taken by governments around the globe but as is the case in the United States there is no assurance that such measures will prevent further economic disruptions, which may be significant, around the world.

We believe that our and Terra Property Trust's ability, as well as that of Terra REIT Advisors, LLC ("Terra REIT Advisors"), the external manager of Terra Property Trust, and our Manager, to operate, our and Terra Property Trust's level of business activity and the profitability of our and Terra Property Trust's business, as well as the values of, and the cash flows from, the loan assets Terra Property Trust owns have been, and will continue to be, impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and could in the future be impacted by another pandemic or other major public health issues. While we, Terra Property Trust, Terra REIT Advisors and our Manager have implemented risk management and contingency plans and taken preventive measures and other precautions, no predictions of specific scenarios can be made with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic and such measures may not adequately predict the impact on our or Terra Property Trust's business from such events.

The effects of COVID-19 have adversely impacted the value of Terra Property Trust's loan assets, and our and Terra Property Trust's business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. Some of the factors that impacted us and Terra Property Trust to date and may continue to affect us and Terra Property Trust include the following:

•the decline in the value of commercial real estate, which negatively impacts the value of Terra Property Trust's loans, potentially materially;

•difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all;

•a severe disruption and instability in the financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect Terra Property Trust or its borrowers’ ability to make regular payments of principal and interest (whether due to an inability to make such payments, an unwillingness to make such payments, or a waiver of the requirement to make such payments on a timely basis or at all);

•government-mandated moratoriums on the construction, development or redevelopment of properties underlying our construction loans may prevent the completion, on a timely basis or at all, of such projects;

•unavailability of information, resulting in restricted access to key inputs used to derive certain estimates and assumptions made in connection with evaluating loans for impairments and establishing allowances for loan losses;

•Terra Property Trust's ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants under its borrowings, including in the event of impairments in the value of the loans it owns;

•a general decline in business activity and demand for mortgage financing, servicing and other real estate and real estate-related transactions, which could adversely affect Terra Property Trust's ability to make new investments or to redeploy the proceeds from repayments of its existing investments;

•disruptions to the efficient function of our or Terra Property Trust's operations because of, among other factors, any inability to access short-term or long-term financing for the loans it makes;

•Terra Property Trust's need to sell assets, including at a loss;

•Terra Property Trust’s loan origination activities;

•inability of other third-party vendors Terra Property Trust or we rely on to conduct Terra Property Trust's or our business to operate effectively and continue to support Terra Property Trust's or our business and operations, including vendors that provide IT services, legal and accounting services, or other operational support services;

•effects of legal and regulatory responses to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health issues, which could result in additional regulation or restrictions affecting the conduct of Terra Property Trust's or our business; and

•Terra Property Trust's or our ability to ensure operational continuity in the event our business continuity plan is not effective or ineffectually implemented or deployed during a disruption.

The rapid development and fluidity of the circumstances resulting from this pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19. There are no comparable recent events which provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and a pandemic on our business. Nevertheless, COVID-19 and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, volume of business, results of operations and cash flows. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We may receive distributions from Terra Property Trust on a delayed basis or distributions may decrease over time. Changes in the amount and timing of distributions Terra Property Trust pays or in the tax characterization of distributions Terra Property Trust pays may adversely affect the fair value of our units or may result in our members being taxed on their allocable share of distributions from Terra Property Trust at a higher rate than initially expected.

Our distributions are driven by a variety of factors, including Terra Property Trust's minimum distribution requirements under the REIT tax laws and Terra Property Trust's REIT taxable income (including certain items of non-cash income) as calculated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. Terra Property Trust is generally required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, although its reported financial results for GAAP purposes may differ materially from its REIT taxable income.

In the year ended December 31, 2019, Terra Property Trust paid $30.4 million of cash distributions on its common stock, representing total distributions of $2.03 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Terra Property Trust’s board of directors declared total cash distribution of $0.96 per share that were paid monthly in the same period in which each was declared.

Terra Property Trust continues to prudently evaluate its liquidity and review the rate of future distributions in light of its financial condition and its applicable minimum distribution requirements under applicable REIT tax laws and regulations. Terra Property Trust may determine to pay distributions on a delayed basis or decrease distributions for a number of factors, including the risk factors described in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

To the extent Terra Property Trust determines that future distributions would represent a return of capital to investors or would not be required under applicable REIT tax laws and regulations, rather than the distribution of income, Terra Property Trust may determine to discontinue distribution payments until such time that distributions would again represent a distribution of income or be required under applicable REIT tax laws and regulations. Any reduction or elimination of Terra Property Trust’s payment of distributions would not only reduce the amount of distributions you would receive as a holder of our units, but could also have the effect of reducing the fair value of our units and the ability of Terra Property Trust to raise capital in future securities offerings.

In addition, the rate at which holders of our units are taxed on their allocable share of Terra Property Trust’s distributions and the characterization of such distributions - be it ordinary income, capital gains, or a return of capital - could have an impact on the fair value of our units. After Terra Property Trust announces the expected characterization of distributions Terra Property Trust has paid, the actual characterization (and, therefore, the rate at which holders of our units are taxed on their allocable share of Terra Property Trust’s distributions) could vary from Terra Property Trust’s expectations, including due to errors, changes made in the course of preparing Terra Property Trust’s corporate tax returns, or changes made in response to an audit by the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with the result that holders of our units could incur greater income tax liabilities than expected.

The documents governing Terra Property Trust's indenture and credit agreement contain, and additional financing arrangements may contain, financial covenants that could restrict Terra Property Trust's borrowings or subject Terra Property Trust to additional risks.

Terra Property Trust has borrowed funds under its indenture and credit agreement. The documents that govern the indenture and credit agreement contain, and additional financing arrangements may contain, various financial and other restrictive covenants, including covenants that require Terra Property Trust to maintain a certain interest coverage ratio and net asset value and that create a maximum balance sheet leverage ratio. The guaranty relating to the indenture and credit agreement requires Terra Property Trust to maintain: (a) a minimum tangible net worth in an amount not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of its tangible net worth as of September 3, 2020, (b) a minimum liquidity of $10 million, and (c) an EBITDA to interest expense ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. If Terra Property Trust fails to satisfy any of the financial or other restrictive covenants, or otherwise defaults under these agreements, the lender will have the right to accelerate repayment and terminate the indenture and credit agreement. Accelerating repayment and terminating the indenture and credit agreement will require immediate

repayment by Terra Property Trust of the borrowed funds, which may require Terra Property Trust to liquidate assets at a disadvantageous time, causing it to incur further losses and adversely affecting its results of operations and financial condition, which may impair our ability to maintain our current level of distributions.
