NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

ACRES Commercial Realty Corp., a Maryland corporation, along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial real estate (“CRE”) mortgage loans and equity investments in commercial real estate properties through direct ownership and joint ventures. The Company’s manager is ACRES Capital, LLC (the “Manager”), a subsidiary of ACRES Capital Corp. (collectively, “ACRES”), a private commercial real estate lender exclusively dedicated to nationwide middle market CRE lending with a focus on multifamily, student housing, hospitality, office and industrial property in top United States (“U.S.”) markets.

The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a REIT.

The Company conducts its operations through the use of subsidiaries that it consolidates into its financial statements. The Company’s core assets are consolidated through its investment in ACRES Realty Funding, Inc. (“ACRES RF”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that holds CRE loans, investments in commercial real estate properties and investments in CRE securitizations, which are consolidated as VIEs as discussed in Note 3.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective February 16, 2021, the Company completed a one-for-three reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The accompanying financial statements and notes to the financial statements give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. In addition, the Company adopted articles of amendment to its charter, which provided that the par value of the Company’s common stock remained $0.001 immediately after effect was given for the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise held fractional shares of the Company’s common stock as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares.

In May 2021, the Company adopted articles of amendment to its charter to decrease its authorized shares of capital stock from 225,000,000 shares, consisting of 125,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock to 141,666,666 shares, consisting of 41,666,666 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

All adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made.

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 at the date of the financial statements and within the period of financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates affecting the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the net realizable and fair values of the Company’s investments and derivatives, the estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation, the expected lives over which to amortize premiums and accrete discounts, reversals of or provisions for expected credit losses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $57.3 million and $33.3 million, respectively, of the reported cash balances exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Securities Investor Protection Corporation deposit insurance limits of $250,000 per respective depository or brokerage institution. However, all of the Company’s cash deposits are held at multiple, established financial institutions, in multiple accounts associated with its parent and respective consolidated subsidiaries, to minimize credit risk exposure.

Restricted cash includes required account balance minimums primarily for the Company’s CRE debt securitizations, term warehouse financing facilities and repurchase agreements as well as cash held in the syndicated corporate loan collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”).

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets to the total amount shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

	September 30,
	2022		2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	60,971	$	109,949
Restricted cash		15,979		32,406
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows	$	76,950	$	142,355

Investment in Real Estate

The Company depreciates investments in real estate and amortizes related intangible assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category		Term
Building		35 to 40 years
Building improvements		8 to 35 years
Site improvements		10 years
Tenant improvements		Shorter of lease term or expected useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		3 to 12 years
Right of use assets		7 to 94 years
Intangible assets		90 days to 18 years
Lease liabilities		7 to 94 years

Income Taxes

The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets (tax effected expense of $21.6 million) at September 30, 2022, as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment was based on the Company’s cumulative historical losses and uncertainties as to the amount of taxable income that would be generated in future years by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Earnings per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.

Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2022

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that removes certain separation models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock that require the separation into a debt component and an equity or derivative component. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, if no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives and the convertible instrument is not issued with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing those separation models, the interest rate of convertible debt instruments typically will be closer to the coupon interest rate. The guidance also revises the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and improves the consistency of EPS calculations. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

In March 2022, the FASB issued an amendment eliminating certain previously issued accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and enhancing disclosure requirements surrounding refinancings, restructurings, and write-offs. Current GAAP provides an exception to general recognition and measurement guidance for loan restructurings if they meet specific criteria to be considered TDRs. If a modification is a TDR, incremental expected losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses upon modification and specific disclosures are required. The new amendment eliminates the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and requires the reporting entity to evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan, consistent with accounting for other loan modifications. The amendment also requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for certain financing receivables and net investments in leases. For entities that have adopted the previously issued guidance amended by this update, which the Company did during the year ended December 31, 2020, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the previously issued guidance amended by this update. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.

NOTE 3 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company has evaluated its loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes), securitizations, guarantees and other financial contracts in order to determine if they are variable interests in VIEs. The Company regularly monitors these legal interests and contracts and, to the extent it has determined that it has a variable interest, analyzes the related entity for potential consolidation.

Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company was the primary beneficiary of five and seven VIEs at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively (collectively, the “Consolidated VIEs”).

The Consolidated VIEs are CRE securitizations and CDOs that were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), syndicated corporate loans and corporate bonds and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of debt securities, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed.

In April 2022, the Company contributed an initial investment of $13.0 million for a 72.1% interest in Charles Street-ACRES FSU Student Venture, LLC (the “FSU Student Venture”). The FSU Student Venture, a joint venture between the Company and two unrelated third parties, was formed for the purpose of developing a student housing project. The FSU Student Venture was determined not to be a VIE as there was sufficient equity at risk, it does not have disproportionate voting rights and its members all have the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct activities (2) the obligation to absorb losses and (3) the right to receive residual returns. However, the Company consolidated the FSU Student Venture due to its 72.1% interest that provided the Company with unilateral control over all major decisions of the joint venture. The portion of the joint venture that the Company does not own is presented as non-controlling interest at and for the periods presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has exposure to losses on its securitizations to the extent of its investments in the subordinated debt and preferred equity of each securitization. The Company is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest on the debt securities it holds and, to the extent revenues exceed debt service requirements and other expenses of the securitizations, distributions with respect to its preferred equity interests. As a result of consolidation, the debt and equity interests the Company holds in these securitizations have been eliminated; and the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect the assets held, the debt issued by the securitizations to third parties and any accrued payables to third parties. The Company’s operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to the securitizations’ assets and liabilities as opposed to the Company’s net economic interests in the securitizations. Assets and liabilities related to the securitizations are disclosed, in the aggregate, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations see Note 10.

Creditors of the Company’s Consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, nor to each other. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not provide any financial support to any of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows from such investments to the Company. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its Consolidated VIEs.

The following table shows the classification and carrying values of assets and liabilities of the Company’s Consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(2)	Assets of each of the Consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of each respective VIE.

Unconsolidated VIEs (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest)

Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements at September 30, 2022. The Company continuously reassesses whether it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of its unconsolidated VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the “Maximum Exposure to Loss” column in the table below.

Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company has a 100% interest in the common shares of each of Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”), with a value of $1.5 million in the aggregate, or 3.0% of each trust, at September 30, 2022. RCT I and RCT II were formed for the purposes of providing debt financing to the Company. The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either trust because it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the trusts, which include the collection of principal and interest through servicing rights. Accordingly, neither trust is consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares of $774,000 each as investments in unconsolidated entities using the cost method, recording dividend income when declared by RCT I and RCT II. The trusts each hold subordinated debentures for which the Company is the obligor in the amount of $25.8 million for each of RCT I and RCT II. The debentures were funded by the issuance of trust preferred securities of RCT I and RCT II.

The following table shows the classification, carrying value and maximum exposure to loss with respect to the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

At September 30, 2022, 23.9%, 22.8% and 15.5% of the Company’s CRE loan portfolio was concentrated in the Southwest, Southeast and Mountain regions, respectively, based on carrying value, as defined by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries. At December 31, 2021, 28.4%, 18.4% and 15.2% of the Company’s CRE loan portfolio was concentrated in the Southeast, Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, respectively, based on carrying value. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no single loan or investment represented more than 10% of the Company’s total assets, and no single investor group generated over 10% of the Company’s revenue.

Principal Paydowns Receivable

Principal paydowns receivable represents loan principal payments that have been received by the Company’s servicers and trustees but have not been remitted to the Company. At September 30, 2022, the Company had no loan principal paydowns receivable. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $14.9 million of loan principal paydowns receivable, all of which was received in cash by the Company in January 2022.

NOTE 6 - FINANCING RECEIVABLES

The following table shows the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022			Year Ended December 31, 2021
Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period	$	8,805		$	34,310
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses, net		1,342			(21,262	)
Charge offs		(2,297	)		(4,243	)
Allowance for credit losses at end of period	$	7,850		$	8,805

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded provisions for expected credit losses of $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily attributable to the negative impact of macroeconomic factors focused on increases in inflation, energy costs and interest rates, and to a lesser extent, by an increase in portfolio credit risk indicated in property-level cash flows that collateralize the Company’s CRE loan portfolio.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a provision for expected credit losses of $537,000 in connection with an increase in the size of the CRE loan portfolio, offset by an improvement in macroeconomic conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a reversal of expected credit losses of $15.4 million in connection with declines in expected unemployment and continued improvement in macroeconomic factors, loan paydowns and improved collateral operating performance.

At September 30, 2022, the Company individually evaluated one retail loan in the Northeast region with a principal balance of $8.0 million and one office loan in the Southwest region with principal balance $21.8 million for which foreclosure was determined to be probable. Each loan had an as-is appraised value in excess of its principal and interest balances, and, as such, had no current expected credit losses (“CECL”) allowance at September 30, 2022.

At December 31, 2021, two loans in addition to the previously discussed retail loan in the Northeast region were individually evaluated for impairment: a retail loan in the Pacific region and a hotel loan in the East North Central region. Both loans were repaid in January 2022. The repayment of the retail loan in the Pacific region resulted in a charge off of $2.3 million against the allowance for credit losses. An individual CECL allowance was established for this loan during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Credit quality indicators

Commercial Real Estate Loans

CRE loans are collateralized by a diversified mix of real estate properties and are assessed for credit quality based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or re-underwritten loan-to-collateral value ratios, loan structure and exit plan. Depending on the loan’s performance against these various factors, loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with loans rated 1 representing loans with the highest credit quality and loans rated 5 representing loans with the lowest credit quality. Loans are rated a 2 at origination. The factors evaluated provide general criteria to monitor credit migration in the Company’s loan portfolio; as such, a loan’s rating may improve or worsen, depending on new information received.

The criteria set forth below should be used as general guidelines and, therefore, not every loan will have all of the characteristics described in each category below.




Risk Rating		Risk Characteristics

1		• Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high-quality tenant mix.

2		• Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting.

3		• Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some tenancy rollover.

4		• Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of tenancy rollover.

5		• Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and may be in default. Expected sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity.
		• The property has a material vacancy rate and significant rollover of remaining tenants.
		• An updated appraisal is required upon designation and updated on an as-needed basis.

All CRE loans are evaluated for any credit deterioration by debt asset management and certain finance personnel on at least a quarterly basis. Mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments may experience greater credit risks due to their nature as subordinated investments.

For the purpose of calculating the quarterly provision for credit losses under CECL, the Company pools CRE loans based on the underlying collateral property type and utilizes a probability of default and loss given default methodology for approximately one year after which it immediately reverts to a historical mean loss ratio. In order to calculate the historical mean loss ratio, the Company utilizes its full, 16-year underwriting history in the determination of historical losses, along with the market loss history from a selected population of loans from an engaged third-party provider’s database that were similar to the Company’s loan types, loan sizes, durations, interest rate structures and general loan-to-collateral value (“LTV”) profiles.

NOTE 14 - DISTRIBUTIONS

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income. In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income in order to not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained income. The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as provisions for loan and lease losses and depreciation) and tax loss carryforwards, in certain circumstances the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow funds to make sufficient distribution payments.

The Company’s 2022 distributions are, and will be, determined by the Board, which will also consider the composition of any distributions declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional shares of common stock.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared and subsequently paid its Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock distributions of $0.54 per share and $0.49 per share, respectively.

The Company did not pay any common share distributions for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company had no financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, principal paydowns receivable, accrued interest payable and distributions payable approximate their carrying values on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities are estimated as follows:

CRE whole loans. The fair values of the Company’s loans held for investment are measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Par values of loans with variable interest rates are expected to approximate fair value unless evidence of credit deterioration exists, in which case the fair value approximates the par value less the loan’s allowance estimated through individual evaluation. Fair values of loans with fixed rates are calculated using the net present values of future cash flows, discounted at market rates. The Company’s floating-rate CRE loans had interest rates from 5.38% to 11.13% and 3.01% to 9.00% at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

CRE mezzanine loan. This is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar instruments would be originated for the same remaining maturity. The Company’s mezzanine loan is discounted at a rate of 10.00%.

Loan receivable- related party. This is estimated using a discounted cash flow model.

Senior notes in CRE securitizations. These are estimated using a discounted cash flow model with implied yields based on trades for similar securities.

Senior secured financing facility. This is estimated by discounting the facility’s remaining contractual cash flows using the current interest rate at which a similar debt instrument would be issued for the same remaining maturity. The fair value of the senior secured financing facility is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that discounts the expected future cash flows at a rate of 5.75%. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding on the senior secured financing facility.

Warehouse financing facilities and mortgage payable. Both are variable-rate debt instruments indexed to either LIBOR or Term SOFR and reset periodically. As a result, their carrying value approximates their fair value, excluding deferred debt issuance costs.

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. These are estimated using a discounted cash flow model that discounts the issuance’s contractual future cash flows using the current interest rate on similar debt issuances with similar terms and similar remaining maturities that do not have a conversion option.

5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes and Junior subordinated notes. These are estimated by using a discounted cash flow model.

NOTE 18 - MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as “market risks.” When deemed appropriate, the Company used derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments were interest rate risk and market price risk.

The Company also historically managed its interest rate risk with interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are contracts between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices.

The Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate borrowings.

The Company historically classified its interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges, which are hedges that eliminate the risk of changes in the cash flows of a financial asset or liability.

The Company terminated all of its interest rate swap positions associated with its prior financed CMBS portfolio in April 2020. At termination, the Company realized a loss of $11.8 million. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had losses of $7.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which will be amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the debt. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $438,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded amortization expense of $489,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an unrealized gain of $279,000 and $347,000, respectively, attributable to two terminated interest rate swaps, in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets, to be accreted into earnings over the remaining life of the debt. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded accretion income, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, of $23,000 to accrete the accumulated other comprehensive income on the terminated swap agreements. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded accretion income, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, of $68,000 to accrete the accumulated other comprehensive income on the terminated swap agreements.

The Company’s prior origination of fixed-rate CRE whole loans exposed it to market pricing risk in connection with the fluctuations of market interest rates. In order to mitigate this market price risk, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts in which it paid a fixed rate of interest in exchange for a variable rate of interest, usually three-month LIBOR. Unrealized gains and losses on the value of these swap contracts were recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. In December 2020, these interest rate swap contracts were terminated.

NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may become involved in litigation on various matters due to the nature of the Company’s business activities. The resolution of these matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against the Company as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations. In addition, the Company may enter into settlements on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation. Except as discussed below, the Company is unaware of any contingencies arising from such litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2022.

The Company’s subsidiary, Primary Capital Mortgage, LLC (“PCM”), is subject to potential litigation related to claims for repurchases or indemnifications on loans that PCM has sold to third parties. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no such litigation demand was outstanding. Reserves for such litigation demands are included in the reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications that totaled $1.2 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The reserves for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications are included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company did not have any pending litigation matters or general litigation reserve at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Other Contingencies

PCM is subject to additional claims for repurchases or indemnifications on loans that PCM has sold to investors. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding demands for indemnification, repurchase or make whole payments totaled $3.3 million. The Company’s estimated exposure for such outstanding claims, as well as unasserted claims, is included in its reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications.

Unfunded Commitments

Unfunded commitments on the Company’s originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, the Company would receive additional interest income on the advanced amount. Whole loans had $193.7 million and $157.6 million in unfunded loan commitments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation and an externally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial real estate (“CRE”) mortgage loans and equity investments in commercial real estate properties through direct ownership and joint ventures. Our manager is ACRES Capital, LLC (our “Manager”), a subsidiary of ACRES Capital Corp. (collectively, “ACRES”), a private commercial real estate lender exclusively dedicated to nationwide middle market CRE lending with a focus on multifamily, student housing, hospitality, office and industrial property in top United States (“U.S.”) markets. Our Manager draws upon the management team of ACRES and its collective investment experience to provide its services. Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategies as well as to maximize long-term stockholder value by maintaining stability through our available liquidity and diversified CRE loan portfolio.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified. The resulting spread of COVID-19 throughout the globe led the World Health Organization to designate COVID-19 as a pandemic and numerous countries, including the U.S, to declare national emergencies. Many countries responded to the initial and ensuing outbreaks of COVID-19 by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel and limiting operations of non-essential offices and retail centers, which resulted in the closure or remote operation of non-essential businesses, increased rates of unemployment and market disruption in connection with the economic uncertainty. The aforementioned quarantines and travel restrictions contributed significantly to economic disruptions across the country that directly impacted our borrowers and their ability to pay and to stay current with their debt obligations in 2020 and 2021, causing significant increases in our provisions for credit losses. During the height of the pandemic, we used a variety of legal and structural options to manage credit risk effectively, including through forbearance and extension provisions or other agreements.

Due in large part to the development and distribution of vaccines and other treatments, the U.S. and other countries around the world have eased or removed restrictions entirely, financial markets are more liquid, collateral performance has improved and unemployment rates have stabilized to some degree; as such, at September 30, 2022, we have substantially reversed provisions for credit losses related to macroeconomic factors impacted by COVID-19. For additional discussion with respect to the potential impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity and capital resources, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Currently, domestic and global markets are grappling with managing rising inflation rates, supply chain disruptions and energy market dislocations. These additional market pressures are manifesting themselves in higher consumer prices and have led domestic and global monetary policy makers to raise historically low short-term interest rates at rates much faster than originally anticipated by domestic and global financial markets in hopes of containing inflation and staving off or tempering an economic recession. The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised the Federal Funds rate by 3.00% in five rate hikes between March 2022 and September 2022 to combat inflation, and more rate hikes are expected in the near future. These increases in the cost of capital and goods are expected to cause short-term dislocations in various investment and financing markets in which we participate as we and other market participants adjust to the new financing environment.

We continuously monitor the effects of domestic and global events, including but not limited to the current and expected impacts of inflation, labor shortages, supply chain matters and rising interest rates, on our operations and financial position to ensure that we remain responsive and adaptable to the dynamic changes in our operating environment. However, it is inherently difficult to

(Back to Index)

accurately assess the continuing impact of domestic or global macroeconomic events on our revenues, profitability and financial position. In response, we continue to actively and responsibly manage corporate liquidity and operations in light of changing macroeconomic circumstances, and our Manager continuously monitors for new capital opportunities and executes on agreements that are expected to enhance our returns.

We target originating transitional floating-rate CRE loans between $10.0 million and $100.0 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we originated six and 18 floating-rate CRE whole loans, respectively, with total commitments of $181.3 million and $592.8 million, respectively. We anticipate that our CRE loan originations, CRE debt securitizations and other CRE-related investments for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be between $600.0 million and $800.0 million.

Our CRE loan portfolio, which had $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion carrying values at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, comprised:

•

First mortgage loans, which we refer to as whole loans. These loans are typically secured by first liens on CRE property, including the following property types: multifamily, office, hotel, self-storage, retail, student housing, manufactured housing, industrial, healthcare and mixed-use. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our whole loans had a carrying value of $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, or 99.8%, of the CRE loan portfolio.

•

Mezzanine debt is senior to the borrower’s equity but is subordinated to other third-party debt. These loans are subordinated CRE loans, usually secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the entity that owns the property or by a second lien mortgage on the property. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our mezzanine loan had a carrying value of $4.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, or 0.2% of the CRE loan portfolio.

We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance our ownership of those assets, including corporate debt.

While the CRE whole loans included in the CRE loan portfolio are substantially composed of floating-rate loans benchmarked to market rates including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), asset yields are protected through the use of benchmark floors and minimum interest periods that typically range from 12 to 18 months at the time of a loan’s origination. Our benchmark floors provide asset yield protection when the benchmark rate falls below an in-place benchmark floor. Our net investment returns are enhanced by a decline in the cost of our floating-rate liabilities that do not have benchmark floors. Our net investment returns will be negatively impacted by the rising cost of our floating-rate liabilities that do not have floors until the benchmark rate is above the benchmark floor, at which point our floating-rate loans and floating-rate liabilities will be match funded, effectively locking in our net interest margin until the benchmark floor rate is activated again or the floating-rate loan is paid off or refinanced.

At September 30, 2022, our $2.1 billion floating-rate CRE loan portfolio, at par, which includes one whole loan without a benchmark floor, had a weighted average benchmark floor of 0.67%. At December 31, 2021, our par-value $1.9 billion floating-rate CRE loan portfolio, which included one loan without a benchmark floor, had a weighted average benchmark floor of 0.75%. The decrease in the weighted average benchmark floor was a result of older CRE floating-rate loans with higher floors paying off and being replaced with newer loans with lower floors. With the trend of rising benchmark rates in 2022 (both LIBOR and SOFR), we have seen the coupons on all of our floating-rate assets and debt rise accordingly. Because we have equity invested in each floating-rate loan, and because in all instances the benchmark rates are above our loan floors, the rise in interest rates expected by the market will result in an increase in our net interest income. See “Interest Rate Risk” in “Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Our portfolio comprises loans with a diverse array of collateral types. We increased our multifamily portfolio allocation to 75.0% at September 30, 2022 up from 69.7% at December 31, 2021. The following charts show our portfolio allocation by property type at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

All but two of our loans were current on contractual payments at September 30, 2022. Each of these two loans, which were in maturity default, had recent appraisals in excess of their par balances and, as such, did not require individual reserves for current expected credit losses (“CECL”). Additionally, we have executed extensions on six loans at a weighted average extension of two months in exchange for $254,000 of fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Our CRE mezzanine loan earns interest at a fixed rate.

From time to time, we may acquire real estate property through direct equity investments or as a result of our lending activities. At September 30, 2022, the total carrying value of our net real estate-related assets and liabilities was $82.6 million on four properties owned. The existence of net capital loss carryforwards available until December 31, 2025, allows for potential future capital gains on these investments to be shielded from income taxes. Additionally, at September 30, 2022, our investments in real estate comprise two hotel properties with a combined carrying value of $53.3 million classified as properties held for sale and offset by liabilities held for sale of $3.0 million.

We use leverage to enhance our returns. The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses. Our net interest income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. Our CRE loans may initially be financed with term facilities, such as CRE loan warehouse financing facilities, in anticipation of their ultimate securitization. We ultimately seek to finance our CRE loans through the use of non-recourse long-term, match-funded CRE debt securitizations.

Our asset-specific borrowings comprised term warehouse financing facilities, CRE debt securitizations, our senior secured financing facility and mortgage payable. We executed the optional redemptions on Exantas Capital Corp. 2020-RSO9, Ltd. (“XAN 2020-RSO9”) and Exantas Capital Corp. 2020-RSO8, Ltd. (“XAN 2020-RSO8”) in February 2022 and March 2022, respectively.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding balances on our CRE loan term warehouse financing facilities of $379.1 million and $66.8 million, respectively, or 19.8% and 3.7%, respectively, of total outstanding borrowings. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding balances of $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, on CRE debt securitizations, or 64.4% and 80.8%, respectively, of total outstanding borrowings. At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings on our senior secured financing facility of $85.5 million, or 4.5% of total outstanding borrowings. At September 30, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings on our mortgage payable of $18.2 million, or 1.0% of total outstanding borrowings. At December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings on our senior secured financing facility nor on our mortgage payable.

In February 2022, we repurchased $39.8 million par value of our 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2022 (“4.50% Convertible Senior Notes”). In conjunction with the repurchase, we accelerated $460,000 of the convertible note discount, which was recorded as an extinguishment of debt cost, and $114,000 of deferred debt issuance costs, which were recorded in interest expense. In August 2022, the remaining $48.2 million of outstanding notes were paid off upon maturity at par.

In January 2020, we adopted updated accounting guidance that replaced the incurred loss approach with the CECL model for the determination of our allowance for loan losses. We reevaluate our CECL allowance quarterly, incorporating our current expectations of macroeconomic factors considered in the determination of our CECL reserves. At September 30, 2022, the CECL allowance on our CRE loan portfolio was $7.9 million, or 0.37% of our $2.1 billion loan portfolio. At December 31, 2021, the CECL allowance on our CRE loan portfolio was $8.8 million, or 0.46% of our $1.9 billion of our loan portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses that reflected current macroeconomic expectations related to rising inflation, interest rates and expected unemployment. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded net reversals of credit losses, which at the time, reflected improvements in macroeconomic conditions, improved collateral operating performance and improvements in or resolutions of individually-evaluated loans.

Additionally, the steady decline in our CECL reserves from our highest reserve balance in June 30, 2020 of $61.1 million, or 3.44% of the par balance of our CRE loan portfolio, to our current reserve balance at September 30, 2022 of $7.9 million, or 0.37% of the par balance of our CRE loan portfolio, has been due to the following: the successful resolution of our individually evaluated loans with specific reserves, the overall newer vintage of our CRE loan portfolio (with 16.3% of the portfolio, at September 30, 2022, being originated prior to the fourth quarter of 2020) as well as the increasing percentage allocation of our CRE loan portfolio to multifamily loans over time. Multifamily loans have historically had the lowest credit losses of any asset class for us and as a sample population in the third-party model that we use to support our CECL reserves. Our percentage allocation of our CRE loan portfolio to multifamily has grown from 58.4% at June 30, 2020 to 75.0% at September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded no charge-offs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $2.3 million in charge-offs, primarily attributable to the discounted payoff of one loan that resulted in a realized loss of $2.3 million for which a CECL allowance was established at December 31, 2021.

We historically used derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. In April 2020, we terminated all interest rate hedges in conjunction with the disposition of our financed commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) portfolio. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had unrealized losses in connection with the terminated hedges of $7.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, which will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. We recognized amortization expense on these terminated contracts of $438,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Common stock book value was $25.08 per share at September 30, 2022, a $1.21 per share increase from December 31, 2021, primarily resulting from the accretive benefit of our board of directors, or our Board-approved common stock repurchase program, offset by net losses from operations incurred during the quarter.

Impact of Reference Rate Reform

As discussed in the “Overview” section above, our CRE whole loans and our asset-specific borrowings are primarily benchmarked to one-month LIBOR. In March 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would cease publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR immediately after December 31, 2021 and cease publication of the remaining tenors immediately after June 30, 2023.

While there is no consensus on what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprising large U.S. financial institutions, has identified SOFR, a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. All our underwritten loans contain terms that allow for a change to an alternative benchmark rate upon the discontinuation of LIBOR. In September 2021, January 2022 and February 2022, the term warehouse financing facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), respectively, were amended to allow for the transition to alternative rates, including rates tied to SOFR, subject to benchmark transition events. Beginning in January 2022, all loans are underwritten using SOFR as the benchmark rate.

The transition from LIBOR to SOFR or to another alternative rate may result in financial market disruptions and significant increases in benchmark rates, resulting in increased financing costs to us, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock. Further discussion of the risk related to ongoing reference rate reform is provided in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations

Our net income allocable to common shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $713,000, or $0.08 per share-basic ($0.08 per share-diluted). Our net loss allocable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.4 million, or $(0.15) per share-basic ($(0.15) per share-diluted), as compared to net (loss) income allocable to common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of ($9.8) million, or $(1.03) per share-basic ($(1.03) per share-diluted) and $10.7 million, or $1.09 per share-basic ($1.09 per share-diluted), respectively.

Net Change in Interest Income for the Comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Aggregate interest income increased by $10.1 million and $9.2 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We attribute the changes to the following:

CRE whole loans. The increase of $10.1 million for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in the benchmark rates and a net increase in the size of the total loan portfolio over the comparative periods. The increase of $11.0 million for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to a net increase in the size of the total loan portfolio period over the comparative periods. The aforementioned increase over the comparative nine months was partially offset by a net decline in loan yields attributable to a decline in the weighted-average rate floors on our total loan portfolio.

Legacy CRE loan. The decrease of $449,000 for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to the payoff of our remaining legacy CRE whole loan in January 2022.

CRE preferred equity investments. The decrease of $1.4 million for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was attributable to the payoffs of the preferred equity investments in March 2021 and April 2021.

CMBS. The decrease of $161,000 for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was attributable to the disposition of our two remaining CMBS securities in March 2021.

(Back to Index)

Net Change in Interest Expense for the Comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Aggregate interest expense increased by $8.4 million and $6.6 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We attribute the changes to the following:

Securitized borrowings. The net increases of $6.4 million and $5.4 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were primarily attributable to the issuance of ACRES Commercial Realty 2021-FL2 Issuer, Ltd. (“ACR 2021-FL2”) and an increase in benchmark rates over the comparative periods. These increases were partially offset by the liquidations of Exantas Capital Corp. 2019-RSO7, Ltd. (“XAN 2019-RSO7”), XAN 2020-RSO8 and XAN 2020-RSO9.

Senior secured financing facility. The increase of $502,000 for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was attributable to increased utilization of the senior secured financing facility in the third quarter 2022. The decrease of $803,000 for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable to overall lower utilization of the senior secured financing facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

CRE - term warehouse financing facilities. The increases of $3.3 million and $4.8 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were primarily attributable to the increased utilization of these facilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The decreases of $2.1 million and $5.0 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were primarily attributable to the partial redemption of $55.7 million of our outstanding 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes during the year ended December 31, 2021 and the redemption of the remaining $88.0 million of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes. The increases of $1.2 million and $5.8 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were attributable to the issuance of our 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes in August 2021.

12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027. The decreases of $1.0 million and $3.9 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were attributable to the redemption of the entire outstanding balance of our 12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes in August 2021.

Unsecured junior subordinated debentures. The increases of $280,000 and $383,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were attributable to an increase in the benchmark interest rate for our unsecured junior subordinated debentures, over the comparative periods.

Aggregate real estate income and other revenue increased by $7.2 million and $14.7 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We attribute the changes to the acquisition of two revenue-generating properties in the fourth quarter of 2021 and two additional revenue-generating properties in the second quarter of 2022. Real estate income at our hotel property acquired in 2020 additionally benefited from increased personal and business travel resulting from lifted COVID-19 restrictions that occurred late in the spring of 2022. In the third quarter 2022, we received the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a hotel property that also contributed to the increase in real estate income for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The decrease in general and administrative expense for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in professional services reimbursable to the Manager and (ii) a decrease in tax penalties, interest and franchise tax in connection with the receipt of approximately $123,000 of interest income in the third quarter 2022 related to the receipt of a 2017 federal tax refund.

The decrease in general and administrative expense for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses related to (i) a decrease in computer software fees, (ii) a decrease in printing fees and (iii) a decrease in operating expenses and professional services reimbursable to the Manager.

Real estate expenses. The increases of $7.7 million and $17.3 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were primarily attributable to the acquisition of two properties, a hotel and a student housing complex, in April 2022, as well as the acquisition of two office properties in October 2021. The increase for the comparative three and nine months was also attributable to increased operating expenses incurred on a hotel property acquired in November 2020 due to growth in its operations in the current year and due to the incremental operating expenses incurred on a hotel property on which we received the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in July 2022.

(Back to Index)

Management fees – related party. The increase of $618,000 for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in our base management fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of July 31, 2020, as part of the Fourth Amended and Restated Management Agreement, as amended (“Management Agreement”), the monthly base management fee payable to our Manager was amended to be the greater of 1/12th of the amount of our equity multiplied by 1.50% or $442,000 through July 31, 2022. In June 2021, the base management fee calculation exceeded the $442,000 for the first time since the execution of the Management Agreement in connection with the issuance of the 7.875% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”). As a result, the management fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were greater than those incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Equity compensation – related party. The increase of $1.7 million for the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was primarily attributable to shares granted in the second quarter 2022 and the second quarter 2021 under our Manager Incentive Plan, which will vest 25% for four years, on each anniversary of the issuance date.

Provision for (reversal of) credit losses, net. The provisions for credit losses of $2.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were primarily attributable to a general decline in macroeconomic conditions. The provision for credit losses of $537,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in the size of the CRE loan portfolio and the net reversal of credit losses of $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to overall, general improvements in expected macroeconomic conditions at the time and improvements in property-level operations on loan collateral at that time.

Aggregate other income increased $10.9 million and $10.1 million for the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We attribute the changes to the following:

Net realized and unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives. The decrease of $878,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable to the sale of our two remaining CMBS securities for proceeds of $3.0 million, which generated non-recurring gains of $878,000 in March 2021.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. The decrease of $8.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributable to the partial redemption of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes in February 2022, which resulted in $460,000 of non-cash losses in connection with the ratable acceleration of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes’ market discount, as well as the full redemption of our 12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes in the third quarter of 2021 which resulted in a loss of $7.8 million.

Gain on sale of real estate. The increase of $1.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is attributed to the sale of an office property in the Midwest Region that generated $1.9 million of non-recurring gains.

(Back to Index)

Other Income. The increase of $598,000 during the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was primarily attributable to a loan recovery received during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on a middle market loan that was previously charged off.

Investments in unconsolidated entities. Our investments in unconsolidated entities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 comprised a 100% interest in the common shares of Resource Capital Trust I (“RCT I”) and RCC Trust II (“RCT II”), with a value of $1.5 million in the aggregate, or 3.0% of each trust. We record our investments in RCT I’s and RCT II’s common shares as investments in unconsolidated entities using the cost method, recording dividend income when declared by RCT I and RCT II.

Investments in real estate and property held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired two new real estate properties through direct equity investments. We determined that the acquisition of the two properties should be accounted for as asset acquisitions. The combined acquisition-date fair value of $51.6 million was determined using third-party valuations.

In July 2022, we received the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a hotel property in the Northeast region. We determined that the acquisition of the property should be accounted for as an asset acquisition, and the acquisition-date fair value of $14.3 million was determined using a third-party valuation. The carrying value of the property was $13.4 million at September 30, 2022 and was reported as property held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. There was no gain or loss recognized on conversion of the loan to property held for sale.

In September 2022, we sold an office property in the Midwest region that we previously designated as a property held for sale. The office property sold for $19.3 million with selling costs of approximately $532,000, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.9 million

In September 2022, we reclassified one hotel property in the Northeast region with a carrying value of $36.9 million to property held for sale.

Financing Receivables

The following tables show the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022			Year Ended December 31, 2021
Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period	$	8,805		$	34,310
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses, net		1,342			(21,262	)
Charge offs		(2,297	)		(4,243	)
Allowance for credit losses at end of period	$	7,850		$	8,805

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded provisions for expected credit losses of $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily attributable to the negative impact of macroeconomic factors focused on increases in inflation, energy costs and interest rates, and to a lesser extent, by an increase in portfolio credit risk indicated in property-level cash flows that collateralize our loans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a provision for expected credit losses of $537,000 in connection with an increase in the size of the CRE loan portfolio, offset by an improvement in macroeconomic conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a reversal of expected credit losses of $15.4 million in connection with declines in expected unemployment and continued improvement in macroeconomic factors, loan paydowns and improved collateral operating performance.

At September 30, 2022, we individually evaluated one retail loan in the Northeast region with a principal balance of $8.0 million and one office loan in the Southwest region with a principal balance of $21.8 million for which foreclosure was determined to be probable. Each loan had an as-is appraised value in excess of its principal balance, and, as such, had no CECL allowance at September 30, 2022.

At December 31, 2021, two loans in addition to the previously discussed retail loan in the Northeast region were individually evaluated for impairment: a retail loan in the Pacific region and a hotel loan in East North Central region. Both loans were repaid in January 2022. The repayment of the retail loan in the Pacific region resulted in a charge off of $2.3 million against the allowance for credit losses. An individual CECL allowance was established for this loan during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Credit quality indicators

Commercial Real Estate Loans

CRE loans are collateralized by a diversified mix of real estate properties and are assessed for credit quality based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or re-underwritten loan-to-collateral value (“LTV”) ratios, loan structure and exit plan. Depending on the loan’s performance against these various factors, loans are rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with loans rated 1 representing loans with the highest credit quality and loans rated 5 representing loans with the lowest credit quality. Loans are rated a 2 at origination. The factors evaluated provide general criteria to monitor credit migration in our loan portfolio; as such, a loan’s rating may improve or worsen, depending on new information received.

(Back to Index)

The criteria set forth below should be used as general guidelines and, therefore, not every loan will have all of the characteristics described in each category below.


Risk Rating		Risk Characteristics

1		• Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high quality tenant mix.

2		• Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded.
		• Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting.

3		• Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some tenancy rollover.

4		• Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers.
		• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of tenancy rollover.

5		• Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and may be in default. Expected sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity.
		• The property has a material vacancy rate and significant rollover of remaining tenants.
		• An updated appraisal is required upon designation and updated on an as-needed basis.

For the purpose of calculating the quarterly provision for credit losses under CECL, we pool CRE loans based on the underlying collateral property type and utilize a probability of default and loss given default methodology for approximately one year after which we immediately revert to a historical mean loss ratio. In order to calculate the historical mean loss ratio, we utilize our full, 16-year underwriting history in the determination of historical losses, along with the market loss history from a selected population of loans from an engaged third-party provider’s database that were similar to our loan types, loan sizes, durations, interest rate structures and general LTV profiles.

(1)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized interest income of $409,000 and $985,000, respectively on one loan with a principal payment past due greater than 90 days at September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized interest income of $480,000 and $1.7 million on three loans with principal payments past due greater than 90 days at September 30, 2021.

(2)	Includes one whole loan with an amortized cost of $8.0 million in maturity default at December 31, 2021.

(3)	The total amortized cost of CRE loans excluded accrued interest receivable of $9.6 million and $6.1 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had two and three CRE loans in maturity default, with total amortized costs of $29.8 million and $27.9 million, respectively. In July 2022, we received the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a hotel property in the Northeast region that collateralized a whole loan with an amortized cost of $14.0 million and that was in maturity default at June 30, 2022.

(Back to Index)

At December 31, 2021, three whole loans, including two loans in maturity default, with total amortized cost of $30.4 million were past due on interest payments.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into nine agreements that extended six loans by a weighted average period of two months and, in certain cases, modified certain other loan terms. One formerly forborne loan was in maturity default at September 30, 2022.

No loan modifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 resulted in TDRs.

Restricted Cash

At September 30, 2022, we had restricted cash of $16.0 million, which consisted of $15.4 million of restricted cash held within our five consolidated securitization entities and $595,000 held in escrow for deposits or tax payments at our real estate properties. At December 31, 2021, we had restricted cash of $248.4 million, which consisted of $248.1 million held within our seven consolidated securitization entities and $360,000 held in various reserve accounts. The decrease of $232.4 million was primarily attributable to loan purchase activity within two of our consolidated securitization entities.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The following table summarizes our accrued interest receivable at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Net Change
Accrued interest receivable from loans	$	9,570	$	6,106	$	3,464
Accrued interest receivable from promissory note, escrow, sweep and reserve accounts		55		6		49
Total	$	9,625	$	6,112	$	3,513

The increase of $3.5 million in accrued interest receivable was primarily attributable to rising coupon rates and an increased loan portfolio balance.

Other Assets

The following table summarizes our other assets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Net Change
Tax receivables and prepaid taxes		210		2,120		(1,910	)
Other prepaid expenses		2,970		1,367		1,603
Other receivables		2,581		1,573		1,008
Other assets, miscellaneous		532		21		511
Fixed assets - non-real estate		342		401		(59	)
Total	$	6,635	$	5,482	$	1,153

The increase of $1.2 million in other assets was primarily attributable to incremental prepaid expenses and miscellaneous receivables from our real estate properties acquired in 2022 offset by the receipt of a $1.9 million tax refund that was previously receivable.

Deferred Tax Assets

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our net deferred tax asset was zero, resulting from a full valuation allowance of $21.6 million and $21.4 million, respectively, on our deferred tax asset as we believed it was more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred

(Back to Index)

tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.

Core Asset Classes

Our investment strategy targets the following core asset class:


Core Asset Class		Principal Investments
Commercial real estate-related assets		• First mortgage loans, which we refer to as whole loans;
		• First priority interests in first mortgage loans, which we refer to as A notes;
		• Subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, which we refer to as B notes;
		• Mezzanine debt related to CRE that is senior to the borrower’s equity position but subordinated to other third-party debt;
		• Preferred equity investments related to CRE that are subordinate to first mortgage loans and are not collateralized by the property underlying the investment; and
		• CRE equity investments.

Derivative Instruments

Historically, we sought to mitigate the potential impact on net income (loss) of adverse fluctuations in interest rates incurred on our borrowings by entering into hedging agreements. We classified our interest rate hedges as cash flow hedges, which are hedges that eliminate the risk of changes in the cash flows of a financial asset or liability.

We terminated interest rate swap positions associated with our prior financed CMBS portfolio in April 2020. At termination, we realized a loss of $11.8 million. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a loss of $7.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which will be amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the debt. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded amortization expense of $438,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded amortization expense of $489,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, on the consolidated statement of operations.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had unrealized gains of $279,000 and $347,000, respectively, attributable to two terminated interest rate swaps, in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets, to be accreted into earnings over the remaining life of the debt. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded accretion income, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, of $23,000 and $68,000, to accrete the accumulated other comprehensive income on the terminated swap agreements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded accretion income of $23,000, and $68,000, respectively.

The following tables present the effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

		Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) ⁽¹⁾

Securitizations

At September 30, 2022, we retained equity in two CRE loan securitizations that we executed, as follows:

ACR 2021-FL1

In May 2021, we closed ACR 2021-FL1, an $802.6 million CRE debt securitization transaction that provided financing for CRE loans. ACR 2021-FL1 includes a reinvestment period, which ends in May 2023, that allows it to acquire CRE loans for reinvestment into the securitization using uninvested principal proceeds. ACR 2021-FL1 issued a total of $675.2 million of non-recourse, floating-rate notes to third parties at par. We retained 100% of the Class F and Class G notes in addition to 100% of the outstanding preference shares. The preference shares are subordinated in right of payment to all other securities issued by ACR 2021-FL1.

At closing, the senior notes issued to investors consisted of the following classes: (i) $431.4 million of Class A notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.20%; (ii) $100.3 million of Class A-S notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.60%; (iii) $37.1 million of Class B notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.80%; (iv) $43.1 million of Class C notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.00%; (v) $50.2 million of Class D notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.65%; and (vi) $13.0 million of Class E notes bearing interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3.10%.

Corporate Debt

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes

We issued $143.8 million aggregate principal of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes in August 2017.

In February 2022, we repurchased $39.8 million of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, resulting in a charge to earnings of $574,000, comprising an extinguishment of debt charge of $460,000 in connection with the acceleration of the market discount and interest expense of $114,000 in connection with the acceleration of deferred debt issuance costs. In August 2022, the remaining $48.2 million of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes were paid off upon maturity at par.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, without consideration for incremental, accelerated amortization expense associated with the partial redemptions of our Convertible Senior Notes, the effective interest rate was 7.43%.

Senior Unsecured Notes

12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2027

On July 31, 2020, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”) with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) and MassMutual pursuant to which we may issue to Oaktree and MassMutual from time to time up to $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes. The 12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes had an annual interest rate of 12.00%, payable up to 3.25% (at our election) as pay-in-kind interest and the remainder as cash interest. On July 31, 2020, we issued to Oaktree and MassMutual $42.0 million and $8.0 million aggregate principal amount, respectively, of the 12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes.

On August 18, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Oaktree and MassMutual that provided for the redemption in full of the outstanding balance of the 12.00% Senior Unsecured Notes, including a waiver of certain sections of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. On August 20, 2021, the redemption was consummated and a payment to Oaktree and MassMutual was made for an aggregate $55.3 million, which consisted of (i) principal in the amount of $50.0 million, (ii) interest in the amount of $329,000 and (iii) a make-whole amount of $5.0 million. In connection with the redemption, we recorded a charge to earnings of $8.0 million, comprising an extinguishment of debt charge of $7.8 million in connection with (i) the $5.0 million net make-whole amount and (ii) the $2.8 million acceleration of the remaining market discount; and interest expense of $218,000 in connection with the acceleration of deferred debt issuance costs.

In January 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement that extended the time to July 2022 that we may elect to issue to Oaktree and MassMutual up to $75.0 million of principal of additional notes. We did not issue any additional notes under this agreement and it expired as of July 31, 2022.

Equity

Total equity at September 30, 2022 was $447.5 million and gave effect to $6.8 million of net realized losses on our terminated cash flow hedges, shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Equity at December 31, 2021 was $448.2 million and gave effect to $8.1 million of net unrealized losses on our terminated cash flow hedges shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The decrease in stockholders’ equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to common stock repurchases.

Per share calculations exclude unvested restricted stock, as disclosed on our consolidated balance sheets, of 583,333 shares at both September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 and 333,329 shares at December 31, 2021, and include warrants to purchase up to 391,995 shares of common stock at September 30, 2022 and 466,661 shares of common stock at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The denominators for the calculations were 8,615,031, 8,813,458 and 9,282,411 shares at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(2)

The per share amounts are calculated with the denominator referenced in footnote (1) at September 30, 2022. We calculated net income (loss) per common share-diluted of $0.08 and $(0.15), respectively, using the weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(3)

In November 2021, our Board authorized and approved the continued use of our existing share repurchase program to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding common stock. We purchased 1.0 million shares for $11.9 million through September 30, 2022. Because we repurchased our common stock at significant discounts to book value, these repurchases were accretive to per share book value since the inception of the program.

(4)	We calculated common stock book value as total stockholders’ equity of $442.5 million less preferred stock equity of $226.5 million at September 30, 2022.

Management Agreement Equity

Our monthly base management fee, as defined in our Management Agreement, is equal to the greater of (i) 1/12 of the amount of our equity multiplied by 1.50% or (ii) $442,000 through July 31, 2022 and is calculated and paid monthly in arrears.

The following table summarizes the calculation of equity, as defined in the Management Agreement (in thousands):

	Amount
Proceeds from capital stock issuances, net ⁽¹⁾	$	1,330,504
Retained earnings, net ⁽²⁾		(647,175	)

Total	$	444,902

(1)	Deducts underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses and costs relating to such issuances.

(2)	Excludes non-cash equity compensation expense incurred to date.

Earnings Available for Distribution

Commencing with our financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we replaced the term Core Earnings with the term Earnings Available for Distribution (“EAD”), and Core Earnings results from comparative reporting periods have been relabeled Earnings Available for Distribution. EAD is a non-GAAP financial measure intended to supplement our financial results computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and we believe EAD will serve as a useful indicator for investors in evaluating our performance and ability to pay dividends.

EAD excludes the effects of certain transactions and adjustments in accordance with GAAP that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current CRE loan portfolio and other CRE-related investments and operations. EAD excludes income (loss) from all non-core assets such as commercial finance, middle market lending, residential mortgage lending, certain legacy CRE loans and other non-CRE assets designated as assets held for sale at the initial measurement date of December 31, 2016.

EAD, for reporting purposes, is defined as GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shares, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) unrealized gains and losses, (iii) non-cash provisions for credit losses, (iv) non-cash impairments on securities, (v) non-cash amortization of discounts or premiums associated with borrowings, (vi) net income or loss from a limited partnership interest owned at the initial measurement date, (vii) net income or loss from non-core assets, ⁽²⁾ (viii) real estate depreciation and amortization, (ix) foreign currency gains or losses and (x) income or loss from discontinued operations. EAD may also be adjusted periodically to exclude certain one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items.

(Back to Index)

Although pursuant to the Management Agreement we calculate incentive compensation using EAD that excludes incentive compensation payable to our Manager, we include incentive compensation payable to our Manager in calculating EAD for reporting purposes.

In March 2021, the CMBS portfolio was sold for $3.0 million, representing a total realized loss of $5.2 million that was included in EAD during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Unrealized gain on core activities includes the unrealized gains and losses on the residual CMBS portfolio, which were previously excluded from EAD.

(2)	Non-core assets are investments and securities owned by us at the initial measurement date in (i) commercial finance, (ii) middle market lending, (iii) residential mortgage lending, (iv) legacy CRE loans designated as held for sale and (v) other non-CRE assets included in assets held for sale.

EAD in accordance with the Management Agreement, which excludes incentive compensation payable, was $3.5 million, or $0.40 per common share outstanding, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. There was no incentive compensation payable for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Incentive Compensation Hurdle

In accordance with the Management Agreement, incentive compensation is earned by our Manager when our EAD per common share (as defined in the Management Agreement) for such quarter exceeds an amount equal to: (1) the weighted average of (a) book value (as defined in the Management Agreement) as of the end of such quarter divided by 10,293,783 shares and (b) the price per share (including the conversion price, if applicable) paid for common shares in each offering (or issuance, upon the conversion of convertible securities) by us subsequent to September 30, 2017, in each case at the time of issuance, multiplied by (2) the greater of (a) 1.75% and (b) 0.4375% plus one-fourth of the ten year treasury rate, as defined in the Management Agreement, for such quarter (the “Incentive Compensation Hurdle”).

(Back to Index)

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our EAD, as defined in the Management Agreement, did not exceed the Incentive Compensation Hurdle.

Commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2022, incentive compensation will be calculated and payable in arrears in an amount, not less than zero, equal to:

(i)

for the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2022, the product of (a) 20% and (b) the excess of (i) our EAD (as defined in the Management Agreement) for such calendar quarter, over (ii) the product of (A) our book value equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) as of the end of such calendar quarter, and (B) 7% per annum;

(ii)

for each of the second, third and fourth full calendar quarters following the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2022, the excess of (1) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the excess of (i) our EAD (as defined in the Management Agreement) for the calendar quarter(s) following September 30, 2022, over (ii) the product of (A) our book value equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) in the calendar quarter(s) following September 30, 2022, and (B) 7% per annum, over (2) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to our Manager with respect to the prior calendar quarter(s) following September 30, 2022 (other than the most recent calendar quarter); and

(iii)

for each calendar quarter thereafter, the excess of (1) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the excess of (i) our EAD (as defined in the Management Agreement) for the previous 12-month period, over (ii) the product of (A) our book value equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) in the previous 12-month period, and (B) 7% per annum, over (2) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to our Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period; provided, however, that no incentive compensation shall be payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless EAD (as defined in the Management Agreement) for the 12 most recently completed calendar quarters (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters from September 30, 2022) in the aggregate is greater than zero.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to pay dividends, fund investments, repay borrowings and provide for other general business needs, including payment of our base management fee and incentive compensation. Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs is subject to our ability to generate cash from operating activities and our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to below.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were: (i) gross proceeds of $404.9 million from our CRE - term warehouse financing facilities, (ii) gross proceeds of $203.0 million from CRE whole loan purchases by our managed CRE securitizations ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2, (iii) proceeds of $98.6 million from our senior secured financing facility, (iv) net proceeds of $52.4 million from repayments on our CRE loan portfolio, (v) proceeds of $31.1 million from the purchase of loan advances by our managed CRE securitizations ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2, (vii) net proceeds of $18.7 million from the sale of a real estate property held for sale, (viii) net proceeds of $18.7 million for a mortgage payable for one of our real estate properties and, (ix) net proceeds of $13.7 million from the liquidation of one of our CRE securitizations. These sources of liquidity were offset by our deployments in CRE whole loans and real estate investments, payoffs and paydowns on our CRE – term warehouse and senior secured financing facilities, the payoff of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, repurchases of common stock, distributions on our preferred stock and ongoing operating expenses that substantially resulted in the $61.0 million of unrestricted cash we held at September 30, 2022.

In October 2021, we entered into a Preferred ATM Agreement with our Manager and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, as placement agent, pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time up to 2.2 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock. We have not issued any shares under this agreement in 2022.

In November 2021, our Board authorized and approved the continued use of our existing share repurchase program up to $20.0 million of our outstanding common stock.

The outstanding balance of our loan to ACRES Capital Corp., the parent of our Manager, was $11.4 million and $11.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 2021, respectively. The note bears interest at 3.00% per annum, payable monthly, and matures in July 2026, subject to two one-year extensions, at ACRES Capital Corp.’s option, and amortizes at a rate of $25,000 per month.

(Back to Index)

We utilize a variety of financing arrangements to finance certain assets. We generally utilize the following three types of financing arrangements:

Senior Secured Financing Facility: Our senior secured financing facility allows us to borrow against loans and investments in real estate that we own. During an initial revolving period, additional loans and investments in real estate may be financed on the senior secured financing facility. After the revolving period, the senior secured financing facility transitions to a term period over the remaining life of the facility. We pay a fixed rate of interest on the senior secured financing facility as well as an unfunded commitment fee when the facility has borrowings below a certain threshold as a percentage of the total commitment. As of November 7, 2022, we are working with MassMutual to document an amendment to the facility that will increase its borrowing capacity, extend its availability period and amend its interest rate, among other things. The amended facility is expected to be executed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Term Warehouse Financing Facilities (CRE loans): Term warehouse financing facilities effectively allow us to borrow against loans that we own. Under these agreements, we transfer loans to a counterparty and agree to purchase the same loans from the counterparty at a price equal to the transfer price plus interest. The counterparty retains the sole discretion over both whether to purchase the loan from us and, subject to certain conditions, the collateral value of such loan for purposes of determining whether we are required to pay margin to the counterparty. Generally, if the lender determines (subject to certain conditions) that the value of the collateral in a repurchase transaction has decreased by more than a defined minimum amount, we would be required to repay any amounts borrowed in excess of the product of (i) the revised collateral or market value multiplied by (ii) the applicable advance rate. During the term of these agreements, we receive the principal and interest on the related loans and pay interest to the counterparty.

Securitizations: We seek non-recourse, long-term financing from securitizations of our investments in CRE loans. The securitizations generally involve a senior portion of our loan but may involve the entire loan. Securitization generally involves transferring notes to a special purpose vehicle (or the issuing entity), which then issues one or more classes of non-recourse notes pursuant to the terms of an indenture. The notes are secured by the pool of assets. In exchange for the transfer of assets to the issuing entity, we receive cash proceeds from the sale of non-recourse notes. Securitizations of our portfolio investments might magnify our exposure to losses on those portfolio investments because the retained subordinate interest in any particular overall loan would be subordinate to the loan components sold and we would, therefore, absorb all losses sustained with respect to the overall loan before the owners of the senior notes experience any losses with respect to the loan in question.

The issuances of ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2 include 24-month reinvestment periods ending in May 2023 and December 2023, respectively, that allow us to reinvest CRE loan payoffs and paydowns into the securitizations upon the satisfaction of certain eligibility and reinvestment criteria along with rating agency approval. The reinvestment features of the securitizations will allow us to extend the securitizations’ financing capabilities at attractive weighted-average rates by increasing the useful lives of the senior notes through the reinvestment of loan proceeds into new loans. We are also able to acquire future funding participations of the collateral in the securitizations during the reinvestment period. We had $14.9 million ($6.9 million at ACR 2021-FL1 and $8.0 million at ACR 2021-FL2) of reinvestment proceeds available to purchase eligible CRE loans and participations at September 30, 2022.

We may also seek to enhance the returns on our investments in real estate through asset specific leverage. At September 30, 2022, we had a mortgage payable of $18.7 million on our student housing development project in Tallahassee, Florida. The mortgage note, has a maximum principal balance of $20.4 million, is interest only, bears interest of 30-day average SOFR plus a spread of 3.80% and matures in April 2025, subject to two one-year extensions.

We were in compliance with all of our covenants at September 30, 2022 in accordance with the terms provided in agreements with our lenders.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on us, the borrowers underlying our commercial real estate-related loans (and their tenants), our financing sources, and the economy as a whole. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, the pandemic’s impact on our operations and liquidity remains uncertain and difficult to predict. Further discussion of the potential impacts on us from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided in the section entitled “Risk Factors-Impact of Current Economic Conditions” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

(1)	Decreases in the maximum month-end outstanding principal balances for the periods presented resulted from the financing of CRE loans into our CRE securitizations.

Historically, we have financed the acquisition of our investments through collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations (sometimes collectively referred to as CLOs or CRE debt securitizations) that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. In the past, we have derived substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CLOs, which will cease if the securitizations fail to meet certain tests. Through September 30, 2022, we did not experience difficulty in maintaining our existing CLO financing and passed all of the critical tests required by these financings.

(1)	The remaining assets at the liquidation date were distributed to us in exchange for our notes owned and preference shares in the respective securitization.

(2)	Cash distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a principal distribution on our preference share at liquidation of $13.5 million for XAN 2020-RSO9.

At September 30, 2022, our liquidity consisted of $61.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $14.9 million of reinvestment cash at our CRE securitizations and $10.5 million of unlevered financeable CRE loans.

Our leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of borrowings to stockholders’ equity, may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our leverage ratio was 4.3 and 4.0 times, respectively. The leverage ratio increased during the period due to the net increase in asset specific borrowing while being offset by the payoff of our 4.50% convertible senior notes and leverage also increased due to the net decrease in stockholders’ equity primarily from our common stock repurchase program.

Net Operating Losses and Loss Carryforwards

The following table sets forth the net operating losses and loss carryforwards for the periods presented (in millions):

Tax Asset Item	Tax Year Recognized	REIT (QRS) Ordinary Losses		REIT (QRS) Capital Losses		TRS Ordinary Losses		TRS Capital Losses
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards:
Cumulative as of 2021	2021 Return	$	46.6	$	—	$	60.1	$	—
Estimated losses - realized in 2022	2022		6.8		—		—		—
Net Capital Loss Carryforwards:
Cumulative as of 2021	2021 Return		—		121.9		—		1.0
Total tax asset estimates		$	53.4	$	121.9	$	60.1	$	1.0
Tax asset useful life		Unlimited		5 years		Various		5 years

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we generated $1.0 million of taxable income which was offset by our cumulative net operating losses (“NOL”), leaving $46.6 million to carry forward to future years. NOL can generally be carried forward to offset both ordinary taxable income and capital gains in future years. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) along with revisions made by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”) reduced the deduction for NOLs to 80% of taxable income and granted an indefinite carryforward period.

Additionally, $15.1 million of net capital gains was reported on our tax return for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was offset with our cumulative total net capital losses, leaving $121.9 million to carry forward to future years. No capital losses expired during 2021.

(Back to Index)

We also have tax assets in our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). These tax assets are analyzed and disclosed quarterly in our financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, our TRSs have $39.9 million of pre-TCJA NOLs, some of which are set to expire beginning in 2044. The TRSs also have $20.2 million of NOLs with an indefinite carryforward period and net capital losses of $969,000.

Distributions

As a result of losses during the year ended December 31, 2020, we received significant NOL carryforwards and net capital loss carryforwards, as finalized in our 2020 tax return. Therefore, we did not pay, nor were we required to pay, distributions on our common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We intend to retain taxable income by utilizing our NOL carryforwards and expect to generate capital gains to use a portion of our net capital loss carryforwards, thereby growing book value and our investable equity base. As we continue to take steps necessary to stabilize our Earnings Available for Distribution, our Board will establish a plan for the prudent resumption of the payment of common share distributions. No assurance, however, can be given as to the amounts or timing of future distributions as such distributions are subject to our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

We intend to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our preferred stock.

U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating and debt service requirements on our repurchase agreements and other debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions, or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities.

(8)

Unfunded commitments on our originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (i) pre-approved capital improvement projects and (ii) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional interest income on the advanced amount. At September 30, 2022, we had unfunded commitments on 64 CRE whole loans.

(9)

Base management fees presented are based on an estimate of base management fees payable to our Manager over the next 12 months. Our Management Agreement also provides for an incentive compensation arrangement that is based on operating performance. The incentive compensation is not a fixed and determinable amount, and therefore it is not included in this table.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

General

At September 30, 2022, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities not established for those purposes. Except as set forth below, we had not guaranteed obligations of any unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities at September 30, 2022.

Unfunded CRE Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our CRE loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial investments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Whole loans had $193.7 million and $157.6 million in unfunded loan commitments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Unfunded commitments are not considered in the CECL reserve if they are unconditionally cancellable.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide guarantees and indemnifications that contingently obligate us to make payments to the guaranteed or indemnified party based on changes in the value of an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed or indemnified party. As such, we may be obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform or achieve specified performance criteria, or we may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At September 30, 2022, the primary components of our market risk were credit risk, counterparty risk, financing risk, and interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.

Credit Risks

Our loans and investments are subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon the sponsors’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due to us. To monitor this risk, our Manager’s asset management team reviews our investment portfolios and in certain instances is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary.

In addition, we are exposed to the risks generally associated with the CRE market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates, and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control. We seek to manage these risks through our underwriting and asset management processes.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the CRE markets as numerous state, local, and federal regulations were issued that imposed restrictions on travel and economic activity to contain the spread of the contagion, causing reduced occupancy, requests from tenants for rent deferral or abatement, and delays in construction and development projects. While many of these restrictions have been lifted, the reduced economic activity experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic could still severely impact borrowers’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may result in borrowers being unwilling or unable to meet their obligations to us in part or in full.

In addition to fluctuations in cash flows from operating activities, CRE assets serving as collateral for our loans and investments are subject to the risk of non-performance due to increases in interest rates on their financing arrangements. In a macroeconomic environment where interest rates are increasing significantly, cash flows of the CRE assets underlying our loans may not be sufficient to pay debt service on our loans, which could result in non-performance or default. We try to partially mitigate this risk by generally requiring our borrowers to purchase interest rate cap agreements with nonaffiliated, well-capitalized third parties and by selectively requiring our borrowers to have and maintain debt service reserves. However, when the initial terms of interest cap agreements for our borrowers mature, our borrowers may not be able to renew their agreements at favorable terms, which could also result in non-performance or default. At September 30, 2022, approximately 88.0% of our CRE loan portfolio had interest rate caps in place with a weighted-average maturity of 1.3 years.

(Back to Index)

These macroeconomic conditions may persist into the future and impair our borrowers’ ability to comply with the terms under our loan agreements. We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and have utilized these relationships to address the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates and other macroeconomic factors on our loans secured by properties experiencing cash flow pressure. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of certain investments. In order to mitigate that risk, we have proactively engaged with our borrowers, particularly with those with near-term maturities, in order to maximize recovery.

Counterparty Risk

The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents and obtain financing from various financial institutions. This exposes us to the risk that these financial institutions may not fulfill their obligations to us under these various contractual arrangements. We mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into financing agreements with high credit-quality institutions.

Financing Risk

We finance our target assets using our CRE debt securitizations, a senior secured financing facility and warehouse financing facilities. Over time, as market conditions change, we may use other forms of leverage in addition to these methods of financing. Weakness or volatility in the financial markets, the CRE and mortgage markets or the economy generally, such as through the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect one or more of our lenders or potential lenders and could cause one or more of our lenders or potential lenders to be unwilling or unable to provide us with financing, or to decrease the amount of our available financing, or to increase the costs of that financing.

Interest Rate Risk

Our business model is such that rising interest rates will typically increase our net income, while declining interest rates will typically decrease net income, subject to the impact of interest rate floors. At September 30, 2022, 99.8% of our CRE loan portfolio by par value earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that both pay interest at floating rates and that are fixed. Floating-rate loans financed with fixed rate liabilities have a negative correlation with declining interest rates to the extent of our financing. The remaining 0.2% of our CRE loan portfolio by par value earned a fixed rate of interest. Fixed rate loans financed with floating rate liabilities have a negative correlation with rising interest rates to the extent of our financing. To the extent that interest rate floors on our floating-rate CRE loans are in the money, our net interest will have a negative correlation with rising interest rates to the extent of those interest rate floors. Our floating-rate loan portfolio of $2.1 billion had a weighted-average benchmark floor of 0.67% at September 30, 2022, which excludes one floating-rate loan without a benchmark floor. Additionally, 3.4% of the interest rate floors in our CRE loan portfolio were in the money at September 30, 2022.

Our loans, securitizations and term warehouse financing facilities have historically been benchmarked to one-month LIBOR. In June 2021, two of our securitizations replaced LIBOR with compounded SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment, as the benchmark rate on the third-party owned notes.

The following table estimates the hypothetical impact on our net interest income assuming an immediate increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the applicable interest rate benchmark (in thousands, except per share data):

		Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
At September 30, 2022		100 Basis Point Decrease ⁽⁴⁾						100 Basis Point Increase
Net Assets Subject to Interest Rate Sensitivity ^(1)(2)(3)		Decrease to Net Interest Income			Decrease to Net Interest Income per Share			Increase to Net Interest Income		Increase to Net Interest Income per Share
$	465,000	$	(867	)	$	(0.10	)	$	1,141	$	0.13

(1)	Includes our floating-rate CRE loans at September 30, 2022.

(2)	Includes amounts outstanding on our securitizations, CRE term warehouse financing facilities, senior secured financing facility and unsecured junior subordinated debentures.

(3)	Certain of our floating rate loans are subject to a benchmark floor.

(4)	Decrease in rates assumes the applicable benchmark rate does not fall below 0%.

Risk Management

To the extent consistent with maintaining our status as a REIT, we seek to manage our interest rate risk exposure to protect our variable rate debt against the effects of major interest rate changes. We generally seek to manage our interest rate risk by monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, the reset index and interest rate related to our borrowings.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may become involved in litigation on various matters due to the nature of our business activities. The resolution of these matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against us as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations. In addition, we may enter into settlements on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation. Except as discussed below, we are unaware of any contingencies arising from such litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2022.

Our subsidiary, Primary Capital Mortgage, LLC (“PCM”), is subject to potential litigation related to claims for repurchases or indemnifications on loans that PCM has sold to third parties. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no such litigation demand was outstanding. Reserves for such litigation demands are included in the reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications that totaled $1.2 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The reserves for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications are included in liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2022, we have substantially completed disposing of PCM’s business.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) includes detailed discussion of our risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors”. Set forth below are certain additional factors related to our investments in real estate.

Real estate ownership is subject to particular conditions that may have a negative impact on our results of operations.

We are subject to all of the inherent risks associated with the ownership of real estate. We may not be successful in the development or redevelopment/expansion of the acquired properties. In addition, the real estate investments may not perform as well as expected, impacting our anticipated return on investment. We are subject to other risks in connection with any acquisition, development and redevelopment/expansion activities, including the following:

•

acquisition or construction costs of a project may be higher than projected, potentially making the project unfeasible or unprofitable;

•

development, redevelopment or expansions may take considerably longer than expected, delaying the commencement due to supply chain disruptions;

•

we may be unable to obtain zoning, occupancy or other governmental approvals; and

•

occupancy rates and rents may not meet our projections and the project may not be accretive.

We risk the loss of our investment if a development or redevelopment/expansion project is unsuccessful, either because it is not meeting our expectations when operational or was not completed according to the project planning.

For a discussion of additional risks associated with our investments in real estate, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 – “Risks Related to Our Investments – Our investments in real estate and commercial mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and CRE equity investments are subject to the risks inherent in owning the real estate securing or underlying those investments that could result in losses to us.”

Real estate property investments are illiquid. We may not be able to dispose of properties when desired or on favorable terms.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to quickly sell or exchange any of our properties in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited. No assurances can be given that we will recognize full value, at a price and at terms that are acceptable to us, for any property that we are required to sell for liquidity reasons. Our inability to respond rapidly to changes in the performance of our investments could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In March 2016, our Board approved our securities repurchase program. In November 2020, our Board authorized and approved the continued use of our existing share repurchase program in order to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. In July 2021, the authorized amount was fully utilized and in November 2021, our Board authorized and approved the continued use of our existing share repurchase program to repurchase an additional $20.0 million of our outstanding common stock.
