Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

FS Credit Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., or the Company, was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on November 7, 2016 and formally commenced investment operations on September 13, 2017. The Company is currently conducting an initial public offering of up to $2,750,000 of its Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on FormS-11 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, consisting of up to $2,500,000 in shares in its primary offering and up to $250,000 in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. The Company is also conducting a private offering of shares of its Class F common stock and previously conducted a private offering of its Class Y common stock. The Company is managed by FS Real Estate Advisor, LLC, or FS Real Estate Advisor, a subsidiary of the Company’s sponsor, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P., which does business as FS Investments, or FS Investments, a national sponsor of alternative investment funds designed for the individual investor. FS Real Estate Advisor has engaged Rialto Capital Management, LLC, or Rialto, to act as itssub-adviser.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017. The Company intends to be an investment vehicle of indefinite duration focused on real estate debt investments and other real estate-related assets. The shares of common stock are generally intended to be sold and repurchased by the Company on a continuous basis. The Company intends to conduct its operations so that it is not required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act.

The Company’s primary investment objectives are to: provide current income in the form of regular, stable cash distributions to achieve an attractive dividend yield; preserve and protect invested capital; realize appreciation in net asset value, or NAV, from proactive investment management and asset management; and provide an investment alternative for stockholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to commercial real estate debt with lower volatility than public real estate companies.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.

Use of Estimates:The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests its cash in an overnight institutional money market fund. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s investment in an overnight institutional money market fund was $2,020 and $599, respectively. The Company’s uninvested cash is maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Restricted cash represents cash held in a bank account related to one of the Company’s repurchase facilities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets to the total amount shown in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows:

	March 31,
	2019		2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,031	$	1,409
Restricted cash		2,050		2,373
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	4,081	$	3,782

Loans Receivable and Provision for Loan Losses:The Company originates and purchases commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term investments at amortized cost. The Company is required to periodically evaluate each of these loans for possible impairment. Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, the Company writes down the loan through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Impairment of these loans, which are collateral dependent, is measured by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto perform a quarterly review of the Company’s portfolio of loans.

In connection with this review, FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto assess the risk factors of each loan and assign a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation,loan-to-value ratio, or LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. Based on a5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5”, from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows:

Loan Risk Rating	Summary Description
1	Very Low Risk
2	Low Risk
3	Medium Risk
4	High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss
5	Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Mortgage-backed Securities:The Company classifies its mortgage-backed securities as available for sale. The investments are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC Topic 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP. Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination, as follows:

Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates.

Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management of third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2.

The estimated value of each asset reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs is determined by an internal committee composed of members of senior management of FS Real Estate Advisor.

Certain of the Company’s other assets are reported at fair value either (i) on a recurring basis, as of eachquarter-end, or (ii) on a nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. The Company generally values its assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from third-party dealers. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, the Company measures impairment by comparing FS Real Estate Advisor’s estimation of fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations may require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by FS Real Estate Advisor.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company is also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments that are not otherwise reported at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and allnon-financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

• Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash on deposit and in money market funds approximates fair value.

• Restricted cash: The carrying amount of restricted cash approximates fair value.

• Loans receivable, net: The fair values for these loans were estimated by FS Real Estate Advisor based on discounted cash flow methodology taking into consideration factors, including capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and indications of market value from other market participants.

• Mortgage-backed securities: The fair values for these investments were based on indicative deal quotes.

• Repurchase obligations: The fair values for these instruments were estimated based on the rate at which similar credit facilities would have currently been priced.

Deferred Financing Costs:The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets include issuance and other costs related to the Company’s debt obligations. These costs are amortized as interest expense using the straight-line method over the term of the related obligation, which approximates the effective interest method.

Revenue Recognition:Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. The Company records dividend income on theex-dividend date. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if there is reason to doubt the collectability of such income. Any loan origination fees, loan exit fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and such amounts are amortized as interest income over the respective term of the investment. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees to which the Company is entitled are recorded as fee income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts.

Organization Costs: Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of incorporating, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company’s organization. These costs will be expensed as incurred. During the period from November 7, 2016 (Inception) to September 13, 2017 (Commencement of Operations), the Company incurred organization costs of $243, which were paid on its behalf by FS Investments (see Note 6).

Offering Costs:Offering costs primarily include, among other things, marketing expenses and printing, legal and due diligence fees and other costs pertaining to the Company’s continuous public offering of shares of its common stock, including the preparation of the registration statement and salaries and direct expenses of FS Real

Estate Advisor’s personnel, employees of its respective affiliates and others while engaged in such activities. The Company will charge offering costs against additionalpaid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets as it raises proceeds in its continuous public offering. During the period from November 7, 2016 (Inception) to March 31, 2019, the Company incurred offering costs of $6,992, which were paid on its behalf by FS Investments (see Note 6).

Income Taxes:The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The Company evaluates each of its tax positions to determine if they meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax benefits or liabilities in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. During the period from November 7, 2016 (Inception) to March 31, 2019, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.

Stockholder Servicing Fees: The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 405,Liabilities, when accounting for stockholder servicing fees. The Company will pay stockholder servicing fees over time on its shares of Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M common stock as described in Note 6. The Company records stockholder servicing fees as a reduction to additionalpaid-in capital and records the related liability in an amount equal to its best estimate of the fees payable in relation to the shares of Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M common stock on the date such shares are issued. The liability will be reduced over time, as the fees are paid to the dealer manager, or adjusted if the fees are no longer payable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU2016-13,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), or ASU2016-13. ASU2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU2016-13 will replace the “incurred loss” model under existing guidance with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost and require entities to record allowances foravailable-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. For public entities, the new standard is effective during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU2016-13 on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On August 30, 2017, the Company’s indirect wholly owned, special-purpose financing subsidiary, FS CREIT FinanceWF-1 LLC, orWF-1, entered into a Master Repurchase and Securities Contract, or, as amended, theWF-1 Repurchase Agreement, and together with the related transaction documents, theWF-1 Facility, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or Wells Fargo, to finance the acquisition and origination of commercial real estate whole loans or senior controlling participation interests in such loans. The initial maximum amount of financing available under theWF-1 Facility is $75,000. This amount, with the consent of Wells Fargo, may be increased to $150,000 or, either directly or after an initial increase to a maximum amount of $150,000, to $200,000. Each transaction under theWF-1 Facility has its own specific terms, such as identification of the assets subject to the transaction, sale price, repurchase price and rate.

WF-1 remains exposed to the credit risk of each asset sold to Wells Fargo under theWF-1 Facility, becauseWF-1 must repurchase each asset on a date mutually agreed by the parties at the time of its sale to Wells Fargo, and in any event no later than such asset’s maturity date. The Company has accounted for these transactions as secured borrowings.

The initial funding period and term of theWF-1 Facility was one year. On July 24, 2018,WF-1 entered into an amendment to theWF-1 Facility to extend each of the funding period termination date and facility maturity date by one year to August 30, 2019. At the request ofWF-1, Wells Fargo may grant further extensions of the facility termination date (without extensions of the funding period) for threeone-year periods. In addition, at the request ofWF-1, Wells Fargo may grant a furtherone-year extension of the funding period.

The Company incurred $848 of deferred financing costs related to theWF-1 Facility, which is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility. As of March 31, 2019, $130 had yet to be amortized to interest expense. TheWF-1 Facility became subject to anon-utilization fee beginning on November 28, 2017. On April 26, 2018, theWF-1 Repurchase Agreement was amended to, among other things, cancel thenon-utilization fee from March 16, 2018 through the date on which the Company meets a certain equity capital threshold. On July 24, 2018, theWF-1 Repurchase Agreement was again amended to set October 22, 2018 as the date on which thenon-utilization fee will begin to accrue.

In connection with theWF-1 Repurchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a guarantee agreement, or theWF-1 Guarantee, pursuant to which the Company guaranteesWF-1’s obligations under theWF-1 Repurchase Agreement subject to limitations specified therein.

The maximum amount of financing initially available under theGS-1 Facility was $130,000. On February 20, 2019,GS-1 entered into an amendment to theGS-1 Facility to increase the maximum amount of financing available from $130,000 to $175,000. If the Company meets certain equity capital thresholds,GS-1, with the consent of Goldman Sachs, may elect to increase the maximum amount of financing available to $250,000. Each transaction under theGS-1 Facility has its own specific terms, such as identification of the assets subject to the transaction, sale price, repurchase price and rate.

GS-1 remains exposed to the credit risk of each asset sold to Goldman Sachs under theGS-1 Facility, becauseGS-1 must repurchase each asset on a date mutually agreed by the parties at the time of its sale to Goldman Sachs, and in any event no later than such asset’s maturity date. The Company has accounted for these transactions as secured borrowings.

The initial availability period of theGS-1 Facility (during which financing under theGS-1 Facility may be used for acquisition and origination of new assets) is two years.GS-1 may extend the availability period for up to twoone-year term extensions, so long as certain conditions are met. After the end of the availability period,GS-1 may exercise an option to commence aone-year amortization period, so long as certain conditions are met. During the amortization period, certain of the terms of theGS-1 Facility will be modified, including an increase to the rate charged on each asset financed under theGS-1 Facility.

In connection with theGS-1 Repurchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Guarantee Agreement, theGS-1 Guarantee, pursuant to which the Company guarantees 50% ofGS-1’s obligations under theGS-1 Repurchase Agreement, subject to limitations specified therein. TheGS-1 Guarantee may become full recourse to the Company upon the occurrence of certain events, including willful bad acts by the Company orGS-1.

TheGS-1 Repurchase Agreement andGS-1 Guarantee contain representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of their type. In addition, the Company is

Compensation of FS Real Estate Advisor and the Dealer Manager

Pursuant to the second amended and restated advisory agreement dated as of August 17, 2018, or the advisory agreement, FS Real Estate Advisor is entitled to a base management fee equal to 1.25% of the NAV for the Company’s Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares, payable quarterly in arrears. The payment of all or any portion of the base management fee accrued with respect to any quarter may be deferred by FS Real Estate Advisor, without interest, and may be taken in any such other quarter as FS Real Estate Advisor may determine. In calculating the Company’s base management fee, the Company will use its NAV before giving effect to accruals for such fee, stockholder servicing fees or distributions payable on its shares. The base management fee is a class-specific expense. No base management fee is paid on the Company’s Class F or Class Y shares.

FS Real Estate Advisor is also entitled to the performance fee calculated and payable quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company’s Core Earnings (as defined below) for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on average adjusted capital, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. As a result, FS Real Estate Advisor does not earn a performance fee for any quarter until the Company’s Core Earnings for such quarter exceed the hurdle rate of 1.625%. For purposes of the performance fee, “adjusted capital” means cumulative net proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s common stock other than Class F common stock (including proceeds from the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan) reduced for distributions fromnon-liquidating dispositions of the Company’s investments paid to stockholders and amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan. Once the Company’s Core Earnings in any quarter exceed the hurdle rate, FS Real Estate Advisor will be entitled to a“catch-up” fee equal to the amount of Core Earnings in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s Core Earnings for such quarter equal 1.806%, or 7.222% annually, of adjusted capital. Thereafter, FS Real Estate Advisor is entitled to receive 10.0% of the Company’s Core Earnings.

For purposes of calculating the performance fee, “Core Earnings” means: the net income (loss) attributable to stockholders of Class Y, Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares, computed in accordance with GAAP (provided that net income (loss) attributable to Class Y stockholders shall be reduced by an amount equal to the base management fee that would have been paid if Class Y shares were subject to such fee), including realized gains (losses) not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss) and excluding(i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the performance fee, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses or other similarnon-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period,

Note 6. Related Party Transactions (continued)

regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and(v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain materialnon-cash income or expense items, in each case after discussions between FS Real Estate Advisor and the Company’s independent directors and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. The performance fee is a class-specific expense. No performance fee is paid on the Company’s Class F shares.

Pursuant to the amended and restatedsub-advisory agreement dated as of August 30, 2017, as amended, or thesub-advisory agreement, Rialto will receive 50% of all base management fees and performance fees payable to FS Real Estate Advisor.

The Company reimburses FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for their actual costs incurred in providing administrative services to the Company. FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto are required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues and/or time allocations. At least annually, the Company’s board of directors reviews the amount of the administrative services expenses reimbursable to FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto to determine whether such amounts are reasonable in relation to the services provided. The Company will not reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor or Rialto for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for any administrative expenses allocated to employees to the extent they serve as executive officers of the Company.

FS Investments funded the Company’s organization and offering costs in the amount of $7,235 for the period from November 7, 2016 (Inception) to March 31, 2019.

Under the advisory agreement, FS Real Estate Advisor has agreed to advance all of the Company’s organization and offering expenses on the Company’s behalf until it has raised $250,000 of gross proceeds from its public offering.

The Company will reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor for any organization and offering expenses that it or Rialto has incurred on the Company’s behalf, up to a cap of 0.75% of the gross proceeds from its public offering in excess of $250,000. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has not reimbursed FS Real Estate Advisor for any organization and offering expenses.

The dealer manager for the Company’s continuous public offering is FS Investment Solutions, LLC, or FS Investment Solutions, which is an affiliate of FS Real Estate Advisor. Under the amended and restated dealer manager agreement dated as of August 17, 2018, or the dealer manager agreement, FS Investment Solutions is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 3.0%, and upfront dealer manager fees of 0.5% of the transaction price of each Class T share sold in the primary offering, however such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price (subject to reductions for certain categories of purchasers). FS Investment Solutions is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 3.5% of the transaction price per Class S share sold in the primary offering (subject to reductions for certain categories of purchasers). The dealer manager anticipates that all of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees will bere-allowed to participating broker-dealers, unless a particular broker-dealer declines to accept some portion of the dealer manager fee they are otherwise eligible to receive. Pursuant to the dealer manager agreement, the Company also reimburses FS Investment Solutions or participating broker-dealers for bona fide due diligence expenses, provided that total organization and offering expenses shall not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds in the Company’s public offering.

No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are payable on the sale of Class D, Class M, Class I, Class F or Class Y shares or on shares of any class sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

Subject to the limitations described below, the Company pays FS Investment Solutions stockholder servicing fees for ongoing services rendered to stockholders by participating broker-dealers or by broker-dealers servicing investors’ accounts, referred to as servicing broker-dealers:

• with respect to the Company’s outstanding Class T shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of its outstanding T shares, consisting of an advisor stockholder servicing fee of 0.65% per

18

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 6. Related Party Transactions (continued)

annum and a dealer stockholder servicing fee of 0.20% per annum; however, with respect to Class T shares sold through certain participating broker-dealers, the advisor stockholder servicing fee and the dealer stockholder servicing fee may be other amounts, provided that the sum of such fees will always equal 0.85% per annum of the NAV of such shares;

• with respect to the Company’s outstanding Class S shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of its outstanding Class S shares;

• with respect to the Company’s outstanding Class D shares equal to 0.3% per annum of the aggregate NAV of its outstanding Class D shares; and

• with respect to the Company’s outstanding Class M shares equal to 0.3% per annum of the aggregate NAV of its outstanding Class M shares.

The Company does not pay a stockholder servicing fee with respect to its Class I, Class F or Class Y shares. The dealer manager reallows some or all of the stockholder servicing fees to participating broker-dealers, servicing broker-dealers and financial institutions (including bank trust departments) for ongoing stockholder services performed by such broker-dealers, and waives (pays back to the Company) stockholder servicing fees to the extent a broker-dealer or financial institution is not eligible or otherwise declines to receive all or a portion of such fees.

The Company will cease paying stockholder servicing fees with respect to any Class D, Class M, Class S and Class T shares held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the total underwriting compensation from the upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees, as applicable, paid with respect to such account would exceed 1.25%, 7.25%, 8.75% and 8.75%, respectively (or a lower limit for shares sold by certain participating broker-dealers or financial institutions) of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such account. These amounts are referred to as the sales charge cap. At the end of such month that the sales charge cap is reached, each Class D, Class M, Class S or Class T share in such account will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share.

In addition, the Company will cease paying stockholder servicing fees on each Class D share, Class M share, Class S share and Class T share held in a stockholder’s account and each such share will convert to Class I shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of Class I shares on a national securities exchange; (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the Company’s merger or consolidation with or into another entity in a transaction in which holders of Class D, Class M, Class S or Class T shares receive cash and/or shares of stock that are listed on a national securities exchange; or (iii) the date following the completion of the Company’s public offering on which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources in connection with the Company’s public offering, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees and other underwriting compensation, is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from its primary offering.

The Company accrues future stockholder servicing fees in an amount equal to its best estimate of fees payable to FS Investment Solutions at the time such shares are sold. As of March 31, 2019, the Company accrued $1,500 of stockholder servicing fees payable to FS Investment Solutions. FS Investment Solutions has entered into agreements with selected dealers distributing the Company’s shares in the public offering, which provide,

The Company has entered into an amended and restated expense limitation agreement with FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto, or the expense limitation agreement, pursuant to which FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto have agreed to waive reimbursement of or pay, on a quarterly basis, the Company’s annualized ordinary operating expenses for such quarter to the extent such expenses exceed 1.5% per annum of its average net assets attributable to each of its classes of common stock. The Company will repay FS Real Estate Advisor or Rialto on a quarterly basis any ordinary operating expenses previously waived or paid, but only if the reimbursement would not cause the then-current expense limitation, if any, to be exceeded. In addition, the reimbursement of expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the end of the fiscal quarter in which the expenses were paid or waived.

During the period from September 13, 2017 (Commencement of Operations) to March 31, 2019, the Company accrued $3,349 for reimbursement of expenses that FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto have agreed to pay, including $537 in reimbursements for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the period from September 13, 2017 (Commencement of Operations) to March 31, 2019, the Company received $2,812 in cash reimbursements from FS Real Estate Advisor. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $537 of reimbursements due from FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto.

Capital Contributions and Commitments

In December 2016, pursuant to a private placement, Michael C. Forman and David J. Adelman, principals of FS Investments, contributed an aggregate of $200 to purchase 8,000 Class F (previously Class S) shares at the price of $25.00 per share. These individuals will not tender these shares of common stock for repurchase as long as FS Real Estate Advisor remains the Company’s adviser. FS Investments is controlled by Mr. Forman, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, and Mr. Adelman.

In addition, the Company is conducting a private placement of its Class F shares concurrent with the public offering, in which FS Investments and Rialto and certain of their respective directors, employees, partners, officers and affiliates, and other investors designated by FS Investments and Rialto collectively committed to purchase $50,000 of the Company’s Class F shares (the “Original Commitment”), of which approximately $49,025 has been purchased as of March 31, 2019. In addition to the Original Commitment, FS Investments and Rialto committed to purchase, or may cause or otherwise arrange for one or more of their respective directors, employees, partners, officers, affiliates, and other investors designated by FS Investments and/or Rialto to purchase or acquire, up to an additional $40,000 of the Company’s common stock, as notified by the Company that capital is required to fund additional investments (the “Additional Commitment”).

Commitment by its terms is currently set to expire in September 2019. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $8,535 of the Additional Commitment has been purchased. Rialto’s former parent, Lennar Corporation (“Lennar”), through Rialto Investments, LLC (“RI”), a subsidiary retained by Lennar following the sale of Rialto to Stone Point Capital in November 2018, holds the Class F shares issued in connection with the Original Commitment. Lennar, through RI, has also agreed to maintain the commitment to fund any amounts remaining under the Original Commitment and, subject to being notified by the Company that capital is required to fund additional investments, the Additional Commitment. Pursuant to the Original Commitment, each of FS Investments and RI or their respective affiliates shall maintain an investment of at least $10,000 in the Company’s common stock until such date as the Company reaches $750,000 in net assets.

Note 7. Stockholder’s Equity (continued)

(1) Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M shares. Under GAAP, the Company accrues future stockholder servicing fees in an amount equal to its best estimate of fees payable to FS Investment Solutions at the time such shares are sold. For purposes of NAV, the Company recognizes the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis. As a result, the estimated liability for the future stockholder servicing fees, which are accrued at the time each share is sold, will have no effect on the NAV of any class.

Share Repurchase Plan

The Company has adopted an amended and restated share repurchase plan, or share repurchase plan, whereby on a monthly basis, stockholders may request that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares. Class F shares and Class Y shares are not eligible to participate in the Company’s share repurchase plan until September 2019. The repurchase of shares is limited to no more than 2% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per month of all classes of shares then participating in the share repurchase plan and no more than 5% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per calendar quarter of all classes of shares then participating in the share repurchase plan, which means that in any12-month period, the Company limits repurchases to approximately 20% of the total NAV of all classes of shares then participating in the share repurchase plan. The Company’s board of directors may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of its stockholders.

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

Introduction

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on November 7, 2016 and formally commenced investment operations on September 13, 2017. We are currently conducting an initial public offering of up to $2,750,000 of our Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares of common stock pursuant to a registration statement on FormS-11 filed with the SEC consisting of up to $2,500,000 in shares in our primary offering and up to $250,000 in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We are also conducting a private offering of shares of our Class F common stock and previously conducted a private offering of shares of our Class Y common stock. We are managed by FS Real Estate Advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement between us and FS Real Estate Advisor. FS Real Estate Advisor is a subsidiary of our sponsor, FS Investments, a national sponsor of alternative investment funds designed for the individual investor. FS Real Estate Advisor has engaged Rialto to act as itssub-adviser.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We intend to be an investment vehicle of indefinite duration focused on real estate debt investments and other real estate-related assets, the shares of common stock are generally intended to be sold and repurchased by us on a continuous basis. We intend to conduct our operations so that we are not required to register under the 1940 Act.

Our primary investment objectives are to: provide current income in the form of regular, stable cash distributions to achieve an attractive dividend yield; preserve and protect invested capital; realize appreciation in NAV from proactive management and asset management; and provide an investment alternative for stockholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to commercial real estate debt with lower volatility than public real estate companies.

26

Our investment strategy is to originate, acquire and manage a portfolio of senior loans secured by commercial real estate primarily in the United States. We are focused on senior floating-rate mortgage loans, but we may also invest in other real estate-related assets, including: (i) other commercial real estate mortgage loans, including fixed-rate loans, subordinatedloans, B-Notes, mezzanine loans and participations in commercial mortgage loans; and (ii) commercial real estate securities, including CMBSs, RMBSs, unsecured debt of listedand non-listed REITs, collateralized debt obligations and equity or equity-linked securities. To a lesser extent we may invest in warehouse loans secured by commercial or residential mortgages, credit loans to commercial real estate companies and portfolios of single-family home mortgages.

During the period from April 1, 2019 through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued, we closed on one senior floating-rate mortgage loan of which $38,000 was funded at closing. We funded the purchase of the loan with cash on hand, proceeds from our public and private offerings and $28,500 in proceeds from one of our financing facilities.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is generated on our interest-earning assets less related interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income was attributable to an increase in the number of performing loans in our portfolio over the last twelve months. The increase in interest expense was attributable to an increase in borrowings in order to support our investment activities.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses include auditing and professional fees, independent director fees, transfer agent fees, loan servicing expenses and other costs associated with operating our business.

Expense Limitation

We have entered into an expense limitation agreement with FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto pursuant to which FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto have agreed to waive reimbursement of or pay, on a quarterly basis, our annualized ordinary operating expenses for such quarter to the extent such expenses exceed 1.5% per annum of our average net assets attributable to each of our classes of common stock. Ordinary operating expenses for each class of common stock consist of all ordinary expenses attributable to such class, including administration fees, transfer agent fees, fees paid to our board of directors, loan servicing expenses, administrative services expenses, and related costs associated with legal, regulatory compliance and investor relations, but excluding the following: (a) advisory fees, (b) interest expense and other financing costs, (c) taxes, (d) distribution or shareholder servicing fees and (e) unusual, unexpected and/or nonrecurring expenses. We will repay FS Real Estate Advisor or Rialto on a quarterly basis any ordinary operating expenses previously waived or paid, but only if the reimbursement would not cause the then-current expense limitation, if any, to be exceeded. In addition, the reimbursement of expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years from the end of the fiscal quarter in which the expenses were paid or waived.

During the period from September 13, 2017 (Commencement of Operations) to March 31, 2019, we accrued $3,349 for reimbursement of expenses that FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto have agreed to pay, including $537 in reimbursements for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the period from September 13, 2017 (Commencement of Operations) to March 31, 2019, we received $2,812 in cash reimbursements from FS Real Estate Advisor. As of March 31, 2019, we had $537 of reimbursements due from FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

We use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), a widely acceptednon-GAAP financial metric, to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. In addition, NAREIT has further clarified the FFO definition toadd-back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated entities that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate and to exclude the earnings impacts of cumulative effects of accounting changes. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.

Our business plan is to operate as a mortgage REIT with our portfolio consisting of senior floating-rate mortgage loans, including those that are secured by a first priority mortgage on transitional commercial real

29

estate properties. We will typically have no FFO adjustments to our net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP. Although we have the ability to acquire real property, we have not acquired any at this time and as such have not had any FFO adjustments to our net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP.

Due to the unique features of publicly registered,non-listed REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”), an industry trade group, published a standardizednon-GAAP financial measure known as Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”), which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registerednon-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of anon-listed REIT.

The IPA defines MFFO as FFO adjusted for acquisition fees and expenses, amounts relating to straight line rents and amortization of premiums on debt investments,non-recurring impairments of real estate-related investments,mark-to-market adjustments included in net income,non-recurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within thenon-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against othernon-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of investments.

Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to stockholders and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to “net income” or to “cash flows from operating activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.

Neither the SEC, any other regulatory body nor NAREIT has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, another regulatory body or NAREIT may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across thenon-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

We did not have any FFO or MFFO adjustments to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Net income (GAAP)	$	1,923	$	302
Funds from operations	$	1,923	$	302
Modified funds from operations	$	1,923	$	302

NAV per Share

FS Real Estate Advisor calculates our NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines approved by our board of directors for the purposes of establishing a price for shares sold in our public offering as well as establishing a repurchase price for shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase plan.

30

The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our total NAV as of March 31, 2019:

Components of NAV	March 31, 2019
Loans receivable	$	245,401
Mortgage-backed securities		1,911
Other assets		6,093
Repurchase agreements payable		(150,696	)
Other liabilities		(2,962	)
Net asset value	$	99,747

The following table provides a breakdown of our total NAV and NAV per share by share class as of March 31, 2019:

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our stockholders’ equity to our NAV as of March 31, 2019.

	March 31, 2019
Total stockholders’ equity under GAAP	$	98,257
Adjustments:
Accrued stockholder servicing fees(1)		1,490
Net asset value	$	99,747

(1) Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M shares. Under GAAP, we accrue future stockholder servicing fees in an amount equal to our best estimate of fees payable to FS Investment Solutions at the time such shares are sold. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis. As a result, the estimated liability for the future stockholder servicing fees, which are accrued at the time each share is sold, will have no effect on the NAV of any class.

Limits on the Calculation of Our Per Share NAV

Although our primary goal in establishing our valuation guidelines is to produce a valuation that represents a fair and accurate estimate of the value of our investments, the methodologies used are based on judgments, assumptions and opinions about future events that may or may not prove to be correct, and if different judgments, assumptions or opinions were used, a different estimate would likely result. Furthermore, our published per share NAV may not fully reflect certain extraordinary events because we may not be able to immediately quantify the financial impact of such events on our portfolio. FS Real Estate Advisor monitors our portfolio between valuations to determine whether there have been any extraordinary events that may have materially changed the estimated market value of the portfolio. If required by applicable securities law, we will promptly disclose the occurrence of such event in a prospectus supplement and FS Real Estate Advisor will analyze the impact of such extraordinary event on our portfolio and determine, in coordination with third-party valuation services, the appropriate adjustment to be made to our NAV. We will not, however, retroactively adjust NAV. To the extent that the extraordinary events may result in a material change in value of a specific investment, FS Real Estate

31

Advisor will order a new valuation of the investment, which will be prepared by the third-party valuation service. It is not known whether any resulting disparity will benefit stockholders whose shares are or are not being repurchased or purchasers of our common stock.

We include no discounts to our NAV for the illiquid nature of our shares, including the limitations on your ability to sell shares under our share repurchase plan and our ability to suspend or terminate our share repurchase plan at any time. Our NAV generally does not consider exit costs that would likely be incurred if our assets and liabilities were liquidated or sold. While we may use market pricing concepts to value individual components of our NAV, our per share NAV is not derived from the market pricing information ofopen-end real estate funds listed on stock exchanges.

We do not represent, warranty or guarantee that:

• a stockholder would be able to realize the NAV per share for the class of shares a stockholder owns if the stockholder attempts to sell its shares;

• a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to per share NAV upon a liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or upon any other liquidity event;

• shares of our common stock would trade at per share NAV on a national securities exchange;

• a third party in anarm’s-length transaction would offer to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock at NAV;

• NAV would equate to a market price for anopen-end real estate fund; and

• NAV would represent the fair value of our assets less liabilities under GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, we had $2,031 in cash and cash equivalents, which we and our wholly owned subsidiaries held in custodial accounts. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, we had $99,304 in borrowings available under our financing arrangements, subject to certain limitations. As of March 31, 2019, we had unfunded loan commitments of $46,562. We maintain sufficient cash on hand, available borrowings and undrawn capital commitments to fund such unfunded commitments should the need arise.

We will obtain the funds required to purchase or originate investments and conduct our operations from the net proceeds of our public offering, the private placement of our Class F Shares, which are not eligible to participate in our share repurchase plan until September 2019, and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured and unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders, and from any undistributed funds from operations. Our principal demands for funds will be for asset acquisitions/originations, the payment of operating expenses and distributions, the payment of interest on any outstanding indebtedness and repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase plan. Generally, cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions/originations will be met from operations, and cash needs for asset acquisitions/originations will be funded by public offerings of our shares and debt financings. However, there may be a delay between the sale of our shares and our purchase/originations of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders of returns generated from our investment operations. Our leverage may not exceed 300% of our total net assets (as defined in our charter).

If we are unable to raise substantial funds in our initial public offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our initial public offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

32

Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders or proceeds from the sale of assets or collection of loans receivable.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to FS Real Estate Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, the dealer manager for our public offering. During the offering stage of our public offering, these payments will include payments to FS Real Estate Advisor and its affiliates for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. We will reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor for the organization and offering costs it or Rialto incurs on our behalf only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, accountable due diligence expenses, stockholder servicing fees and the other organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the primary offering as the amount of proceeds increases. FS Real Estate Advisor has agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses on our behalf until we have raised $250,000 of gross proceeds in our public offering. From and after the date we have raised $250,000 in gross proceeds in our public offering, we will reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for any organization and offering expenses that FS Real Estate Advisor or Rialto has incurred and advanced, on our behalf, up to a cap of 0.75% of the gross offering proceeds of our public offering in excess of $250,000.

During our acquisition and development stage, subject to the limitations in the advisory agreement andsub-advisory agreement, we expect to make payments to FS Real Estate Advisor in connection with the management of our assets and costs incurred by FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto in providing services to us. The advisory agreement has aone-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successiveone-year periods upon the mutual consent of FS Real Estate Advisor and our board of directors. For a discussion of the compensation to be paid to FS Real Estate Advisor and FS Investment Solutions, see Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent 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 also will utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As we execute our expected operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Loans Receivable and Provision for Loan Losses:We originate and purchase commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term investments at amortized cost. We are required to periodically evaluate each of these loans for possible impairment. Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, we write down the loan through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Impairment of these loans, which are collateral dependent, is measured by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto perform a quarterly review of our portfolio of loans.

33

In connection with this review, FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto assess the risk factors of each loan and assign a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. Based on a5-point scale, our loans are rated “1” through “5”, from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows:

Loan Risk Rating	Summary Description
1	Very Low Risk
2	Low Risk
3	Medium Risk
4	High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss
5	Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss

Revenue Recognition:Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We record dividend income on theex-dividend date. We do not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if there is reason to doubt the collectability of such income. Any loan origination fees, original issue discount, market discount and exit fees are capitalized and such amounts are amortized as interest income over the respective term of the investment. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees to which we are entitled are recorded as fee income. We will record prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when we receive such amounts.

See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our significant accounting policies.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into an advisory agreement with FS Real Estate Advisor to provide us with advisory and administrative services. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, FS Real Estate Advisor receives payments for performing advisory services for us consisting of (a) an annual base management fee of 1.25% of our NAV for our Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares and (b) a performance fee equal to 10.0% of our Core Earnings, subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on average adjusted capital, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%. For purposes of calculating the performance fee, “Core Earnings” means: the net income (loss) attributable to stockholders of Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M, Class I and Class Y shares computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized gains (losses) not otherwise included in GAAP (provided that net income (loss) attributable to Class Y stockholders shall be subject to certain reductions) net income (loss) and excluding(i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the performance fee, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses or other similarnon-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and(v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain materialnon-cash income or expense items, in each case after discussions between FS Real Estate Advisor and our independent directors and approved by a majority of our independent directors. The base management fee and the performance fee are class-specific expenses. No base management fee will be paid on our Class F or Class Y shares and no performance fee will be paid on our Class F shares.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, FS Real Estate Advisor oversees ourday-to-day operations, including providing us with general ledger accounting, fund accounting, legal services, investor relations and other administrative services. We have agreed to reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for administrative expenses incurred on our behalf, subject to limitations set forth in our charter and the advisory agreement. See Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have nooff-balance sheet arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.

Related Party Transactions

Compensation of FS Real Estate Advisor and the Dealer Manager

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, FS Real Estate Advisor is entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 1.25% of the NAV for our Class T, Class S, Class D, Class M and Class I shares and a performance fee based on our performance. We also reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operations, including FS Real Estate Advisor’s allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of FS Investments providing administrative services to us on behalf of FS Real Estate Advisor. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we will reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and its affiliates for expenses necessary to perform services related to our organization and continuous public offering; however FS Real Estate Advisor has agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses until we have raised $250,000 of gross proceeds from our public offering.

The dealer manager for our continuous public offering is FS Investment Solutions, which is an affiliate of FS Real Estate Advisor. Under the dealer manager agreement, FS Investment Solutions is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees in connection with the sale of shares of common stock in our continuous public offering. FS Investment Solutions anticipates that all of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees will be reallowed to participating broker-dealers, unless a particular broker-dealer declines to accept some portion of the dealer manager fee they are otherwise eligible to receive. FS Investment Solutions is also entitled to receive stockholder servicing fees, which accrue daily and are paid on a monthly basis. FS Investment Solutions will reallow such stockholder servicing fees to participating broker-dealers, servicing broker-dealers and financial institutions (including bank trust departments) and will waive (pay back to us) stockholder servicing fees to the extent a broker-dealer or financial institution is not eligible or otherwise declines to receive all or a portion of such fees.

See Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding our related party transactions and relationships, including a description of the fees and amounts due to FS Real Estate Advisor, compensation of FS Investment Solutions, capital contributions by FS Investments and Rialto, our expense limitation agreement with FS Investments and our purchase of a mortgage loan from an affiliate of Rialto.

35

FS Investment Solutions also serves or served as the placement agent for our private offerings of Class F and Class Y shares pursuant to placement agreements. FS Investment Solutions does not receive any compensation pursuant to these agreements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2019, 100% of the outstanding principal of our debt investments were floating rate investments. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates applicable to any variable rate investments we may hold and to declines in the value of any fixed rate investments we may hold. To the extent that a substantial portion of our investments may be in variable rate investments, an increase in interest rates could make it easier for us to meet or exceed our performance fee hurdle rate and may result in a substantial increase to the amount of performance fees payable to FS Real Estate Advisor.

Pursuant to the terms of theWF-1 Facility and theGS-1 Facility, borrowings are at a floating-rate based on LIBOR. To the extent that any present or future credit facilities or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries enter into are based on a floating interest rate, we will be subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates, when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the extent we hold fixed rate investments.

We may seek to limit the impact of rising interest rates on earnings and cash flows through the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets.

The following table shows the effect over a twelve-month period of changes in interest rates on our interest income, interest expense, and net interest income, assuming no changes in the composition of our investment portfolio, including the accrual status of our investments, and our financing arrangements in effect as of March 31, 2019:

Basis Point Changes in Interest Rates	Increase (Decrease) in Interest Income			Increase (Decrease) in Interest Expense			Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income			Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Down 50 basis points	$	(1,068	)	$	(753	)	$	(315	)		(3.2	)%

Up 50 basis points	$	1,231		$	753		$	478			3.9	%

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required byRule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019.

Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer 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

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange ActRules 13a-15(f) or15d-15(f)) that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material adverse 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 onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Share Repurchase Program

We have adopted a share repurchase plan, whereby on a monthly basis, stockholders may request that we repurchase all or any portion of their shares. Class F shares and Class Y shares are not eligible to participate in

our share repurchase plan until September 2019. The repurchase of shares is limited to no more than 2% of our aggregate NAV per month of all classes of shares then participating in our share repurchase plan and no more than 5% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter of all classes of shares then participating in our share repurchase plan, which means that inany 12-month period, we limit repurchases to approximately 20% of the total NAV of all classes of shares then participating in the share repurchase plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased shares of our common stock in the following amounts, which represented all of the share repurchase requests received for the same period.
