NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1. Organization

RMR Mortgage Trust, or we, us, our, or the Trust, is a Maryland statutory trust. We were previously registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, as a closed-end management investment company. Our investment objective while we operated as a registered investment company was investing in equity securities of real estate companies.

On January 5, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, issued an order granting our request to deregister as an investment company under the 1940 Act, or the Deregistration. As a result, the Trust changed its SEC registration to a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The issuance of the deregistration order enabled us to proceed with full implementation of our new business mandate to operate as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that focuses primarily on originating and investing in first mortgage whole loans secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate, or CRE, or the Business Change.

On April 26, 2021, we and Tremont Mortgage Trust, or TRMT, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereof, TRMT has agreed to merge with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving entity in the merger, or the Merger. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, or the Effective Time, each common share of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of TRMT, or TRMT Common Shares, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 0.52, or the Exchange Ratio, of one newly issued common share of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share, of our common shares, or the RMRM Common Shares, subject to adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Under the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the market price of the RMRM Common Shares or the TRMT Common Shares prior to the Effective Time. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, any unvested TRMT Common Share awards outstanding under TRMT's equity compensation plan generally will be converted into an unvested RMRM Common Share award under our equity compensation plan, subject to substantially similar vesting requirements and other terms and conditions, determined by multiplying the number of unvested TRMT Common Shares subject to such award by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number). The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the other Transactions. We have incurred $2,183 of transaction costs related to the Merger that are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Following the consummation of the Merger, the combined company will continue to be managed by our and TRMT’s current manager, Tremont Realty Advisors LLC, or TRA or our Manager, pursuant to the terms of our existing management agreement with TRA. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we, TRMT and TRA entered into a letter agreement, or the TRA Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to conditions contained therein, we, TRMT and TRA have acknowledged and agreed that, effective upon consummation of the Merger, TRMT shall have terminated its management agreement with TRA, and TRA shall have waived its right to receive payment of the termination fee pursuant to such agreement. In consideration of this waiver, we have agreed that, effective upon consummation of the Merger and the termination of TRMT's management agreement with TRA, certain of the expenses TRA had paid pursuant to such management agreement will be included in the “Termination Fee” under and as defined in our existing management agreement with TRA. The TRA Letter Agreement further provides that such termination by TRMT and waiver by TRA shall apply only in respect of the Merger and will not apply in respect of any competing proposal or superior proposal (as those terms are defined in the Merger Agreement) or to any other transaction or arrangement.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a voting agreement with TRA, or the Voting Agreement, pursuant to which TRA has agreed to vote all of the TRMT Common Shares which it is entitled to vote in favor of approval of the Merger and the other Transactions to which TRMT is a party at the special meeting of TRMT's shareholders scheduled to be held on September 17, 2021 for that purpose and against any competing acquisition proposal.

Also contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, TRMT entered into a voting agreement with Diane Portnoy, pursuant to which Ms. Portnoy has agreed to vote all of our common shares which she is entitled to vote in favor of approval of the issuance of the RMRM Common Shares in the Merger, or the Merger Share Issuance, at the special meeting of our shareholders held for that purpose and against any competing acquisition proposal.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

The record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, our and TRMT's special meetings is July 14, 2021. Pending requisite approval by us and TRMT shareholders, the Merger is expected to close during the third quarter of 2021.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation.
Prior to the Business Change, the Trust was accounted for as an investment company in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, or the Predecessor Basis. Upon the Business Change, we discontinued the application of guidance in ASC Topic 946 and prospectively applied the guidance required under GAAP, applicable to companies that are not investment companies, or the Successor Basis. As a result of these changes, ourThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as ofare unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are presented separately from ourcomplete financial statements onhave been condensed or omitted. We believe the Predecessor Basis, as of and fordisclosures made are adequate to make the periods prior to December 31, 2020. The results of operations from January 1, 2021 through January 4, 2021 wereinformation presented not material tomisleading. However, the Trust'saccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and have not been presented separately, but they are includednotes contained in our condensed consolidated statement of operationsAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the six monthsyear ended June 30, 2021.

December 31, 2021, or our 2021 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the fair value of financial instruments.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly by us. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

For each investment we make, we evaluate whether consolidation of the borrower's financial statements is required under GAAP. GAAP addresses the application of consolidation principles to an investor with a controlling financial interest.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. We consider highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash primarily consists of deposit proceeds from potential borrowers when originating loans, which may be returned to the applicable borrower upon the closing of the loan, after deducting any transaction costs paid by us for the benefit of such borrower.
Loans Held for Investment. Generally, our loans are classified as held for investment based upon our intent and ability to hold them until maturity, or if earlier, repayment. Loans that are held for investment are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination and accreted exit fees that are required to be recognized in the carrying value of the loans in accordance with GAAP, unless the loans are deemed to be impaired. Loans that we have a plan to sell or liquidate are held at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell.
We evaluate each of our loans for impairment at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. Factors considered in these evaluations include, but are not limited to, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, risk of loss, current loan to value ratio, or LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (lower risk) through “5” (impaired/loss likely) as defined below:
"1" lower risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a strong financial condition and low credit risk and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance exceeding performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating stabilized occupancy and/or market rates, resulting in strong current cash flow and net operating income and/or having a very low LTV.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

"2" average risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a stable financial condition and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance meeting or exceeding substantially all performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating improved occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or having a low LTV.
"3" acceptable risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of repaying loans at maturity and meeting its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance expected to meet performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property having a moderate LTV. New loans and loans with a limited history will typically be assigned this rating and will be adjusted to other levels from time to time as appropriate.
"4" higher risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of unresolved missed or late payments, maturity extensions and difficulty timely fulfilling its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance failing to meet the business plan or credit underwriting; the existence of a risk of default possibly leading to a loss and/or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention; and/or the property having a high LTV.
"5" impaired/loss likely—Criteria reflects a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or having incurred a principal loss; a sponsor having a history of default payments, trouble fulfilling its credit obligations, deeds in lieu of foreclosures, and/or bankruptcies; collateral performance is significantly worse than performance metrics included in the business plan; loan covenants or performance milestones having been breached or not attained; timely exit via sale or refinancing being uncertain; and/or the property having a very high LTV.
See Note 5 for further information regarding our current loan portfolio’s assessment under our internal risk rating policy.
Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due under a loan according to its contractual terms. Impairment will then be measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's contractual effective rate and the fair value of any available collateral, net of any costs we expect to incur to realize that value. The determination of this estimated fair value involves judgments and assumptions based on objective and subjective factors. Consideration will be given to various factors, such as business plans, property occupancies, tenant profiles, rental rates, operating expenses and borrowers’ repayment plans, among others, and will require significant judgments regarding certain circumstances, such as guarantees, if any. Upon measurement of an impairment, we will record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan accordingly, and record a corresponding charge to net income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2021, we have not recorded any allowances for losses as we believe it is probable that we will collect all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of our loan agreements with borrowers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FASB ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands the required disclosure regarding fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for a financial instrument in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. GAAP establishes market based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
    Level I—Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
    Level II—Inputs include quoted prices in markets that are less active or inactive or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
    Level III—Inputs include unobservable prices and are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Loan Deferred Fees. Loan origination and exit fees are reflected in loans held for investment, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and include fees charged to borrowers. These fees are amortized and accreted, respectively, into interest income over the life of the related loans held for investment.
Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and recorded as an offset to the related liability and amortized over the respective financing terms and are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest and related expenses. At June 30, 2021, we had approximately $397 of capitalized financing costs, net of amortization.
Net Income Per Common Share. We calculate net income per common share, or EPS, by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 0 warrants, options or other types or classes of securities existed that could be potentially dilutive to our common shares outstanding.

Revenue Recognition. Interest income related to our first mortgage whole loans secured by CRE will generally be accrued based on the coupon rates applied to the outstanding principal balance of such loans. Fees, premiums and discounts, if any, will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans using the effective interest method, as adjusted for any prepayments.

If a loan's interest or principal payments are not paid when due and there is uncertainty that such payments will be collected, the loan may be categorized as non-accrual and no interest will be recorded unless it is collected. When all overdue payments are collected and, in our judgment, a loan is likely to remain current, it may be re-categorized as accrual.

For loans purchased at a discount, GAAP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. GAAP also requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected from such loans generally will be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected will be recorded as an impairment.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Under the Predecessor Basis, we recorded securities transactions on a trade date basis, dividend income on the ex-dividend date and any non-cash dividends at the fair market value of the securities received. We use the accrual method for recording interest income, including accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short term investments and identified cost basis for realized gains and losses from securities transactions. The difference between cost and fair value for investments we continue to hold is reflected as unrealized gain (loss), and any change in that amount from a prior period is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Note 4.2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. As a smaller reporting company, we expect to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The effect of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, if material, will be presented as a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminated the guidance for and recognitions of troubled debt restructurings for all entities that have adopted ASU No. 2016-13. Instead, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructure guidance in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 310, Receivables (Topic 310), to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan. If a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, enhanced disclosures are required. ASU No. 2022-02 also amended the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current period gross write-offs by year of origination. We expect to adopt ASU No. 2022-02 prospectively on January 1, 2023, concurrently with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2022-02 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 5.3. Loans Held for Investment
We originate first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate, or CRE, which are generally to be held as long term investments. We funded our existing loan portfolio using cash on hand and advancements under our master repurchase facilitysecured financing facilities. Additionally, we acquired the loan portfolio of Tremont Mortgage Trust, or TRMT, in the merger of TRMT with UBS AG,and into us on September 30, 2021, or UBS, orthe Merger, with our Master Repurchase Facility.common shares.

Loan Risk RatingsCredit Quality
We evaluate each of our loans for impairment at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. The higher the number, the greater the risk level. See our 2021 Annual Report for more information regarding our loan risk ratings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted some of our borrowers’ business operations or tenants, particularly in the cases of our retail and hospitality collateral, some of which are the types of properties that have been most negatively impacted by the pandemic. We expect that those negative impacts may continue and may apply to other borrowers and/or their tenants. Further, although economic activity in the U.S. has improved significantly from the low points during the pandemic to date, certain industries have not recovered to their pre-pandemic positions. Therefore, certain of our borrowers’ business plans will likely take longer to execute than initially expected and certain of our borrowers may be unable to pay their debt service obligations owed and due to us as currently scheduled or at all. As of March 31, 2022, we had 2 loans representing approximately 4% of the carrying value of our loan portfolio with a loan risk rating of “4” or “higher risk".

We may enter into loan modifications that include among other changes, extensions of maturity dates, repurposing or required replenishment of reserves, increases or decreases in loan commitments and required pay downs of principal amounts outstanding. Modifications that represent concessions to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulties are classified as troubled debt restructurings and considered impaired.

In February 2022, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property located in Yardley, PA. As part of this amendment, the loan commitment was increased by $1,600, or the Additional Advance, and may be used to finance debt service costs and operating costs of the borrower and the initial maturity date was extended by one year to December 19, 2023. For purposes of calculating interest due to us for this loan, the Additional Advance is deemed to be outstanding as of the date of the amendment, regardless of whether such amounts have been advanced, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or a replacement base rate determined by us if LIBOR is no longer available, plus 12.0%. As of March 31, 2022, this loan had a risk rating of 4. The modification of this loan resulting from the amendment was determined not to be a troubled debt restructuring. However, we accounted for this modification as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Receivables, because the changes to the terms were determined to be more than minor. As such, we recognized the related unaccreted purchase discount of $1,748 as interest income from investments in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

There were no other material modifications to our loan portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

We did not have any impaired loans or nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2020. See Note 3 for further information regarding our loan risk ratings.

2021. As of July 30, 2021,March 31, 2022 and April 25, 2022, all of our borrowers had paid all of their debt service obligations owed and due to us and none of the loans included in our investment portfolio were in default.

Note 4. Secured Financing Agreements
Our secured financing agreements at March 31, 2022 consisted of agreements that govern: our master repurchase facility with UBS AG, or UBS, or the UBS Master Repurchase Facility; our master repurchase facility with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, or the Citibank Master Repurchase Facility; our facility loan program with BMO Harris Bank N.A., or BMO, or the BMO Facility, and our master repurchase facility with Wells Fargo, National Association, or Wells Fargo, or the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility. We refer to the UBS Master Repurchase Facility, the Citibank Master Repurchase Facility and the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility, collectively, as our Master Repurchase Facilities. We refer to the Master Repurchase Facilities and the BMO Facility, collectively, as our Secured Financing Facilities. See our 2021 Annual Report for more information regarding our Secured Financing Facilities.
Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility

On March 11, 2022, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement with Wells Fargo, or the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement, for the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility. The Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility provides up to $125,000 in advances, with an option to increase the maximum facility amount to $250,000, subject to certain terms and conditions. We expect to use the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility to finance the acquisition or origination of floating rate, commercial mortgage loans. We refer to our loan investments that secure advances we receive under any of our Secured Financing Facilities as the purchased assets. The expiration date of the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement is March 11, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement.

Under the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility, the initial purchase price paid by Wells Fargo for each purchased asset is up to 75% or 80%, depending on the property type of the purchased asset’s real estate collateral, of the lesser of the market value of the purchased asset or the unpaid principal balance of such purchased asset, and subject to Wells Fargo’s approval. Upon the repurchase of a purchased asset, we are required to pay Wells Fargo the outstanding purchase price of the purchased asset, accrued interest and all accrued and unpaid expenses of Wells Fargo relating to such purchased asset. Interest on advancements under the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility will be calculated at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus a premium.

In connection with our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement, we entered into a guaranty, or the Wells Fargo Guaranty, which requires us to guarantee 25% of the aggregate repurchase price, and 100% of losses in the event of certain bad acts as well as any costs and expenses of Wells Fargo related to our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement. The Wells Fargo Guaranty also contains financial covenants, which require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum liquidity and a minimum interest coverage ratio and to satisfy a total indebtedness to stockholders’ equity ratio.

Our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility also contains margin maintenance provisions that provide Wells Fargo with the right, in certain circumstances related to a credit event, as defined in the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement, to redetermine the value of purchased assets. Where a decline in the value of such purchased assets has resulted in a margin deficit, Wells Fargo may require us to eliminate any margin deficit through a combination of purchased asset repurchases and cash transfers to Wells Fargo subject to Wells Fargo’s approval.
Note 6. Debt Agreements
In addition, our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement provides for acceleration of the date of repurchase of the purchased assets by us and Wells Fargo’s liquidation of the purchased assets upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a change of control of us, which includes Tremont Realty Capital LLC, or Tremont, ceasing to act as our sole manager or to be a wholly owned subsidiary of The RMR Group LLC, or RMR.

Citibank Master Repurchase Facility

On March 15, 2022, we amended and restated our master repurchase agreement with Citibank, or the Citibank Master Repurchase Agreement. The amended and restated Citibank Master Repurchase Agreement increased the maximum amount of available advancements under our Citibank Master Repurchase Facility to $215,000, extended the stated maturity date to March 15, 2025, and made certain other changes to the agreement and related fee letter, including replacing LIBOR with SOFR, for interest rate calculations on advancements under the Citibank Master Repurchase Facility and modifying certain pricing terms.

BMO Facility

On April 25, 2022, we amended our facility loan program agreement and the security agreement with BMO, or the BMO Loan Program Agreement, to increase the maximum principal amount available under our BMO Facility, from $100,000 to $150,000.

The weighted average interest rate for advancements under our Citibank Master Repurchase Facility, BMO Facility and UBS Master Repurchase Facility were 2.1%, 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

On February 18, 2021, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement, or the Master Repurchase Agreement, with UBS for our Master Repurchase Facility, pursuant to which we may sell to UBS, and later repurchase, commercial mortgage loans, or the Purchased Assets. The expiration date of the Master Repurchase Agreement is February 18, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement, we will pay UBS a non-refundable upfront fee that is equal to 0.50% of the applicable tranche amount on each Purchase Date (as each term is defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement). While the Master Repurchase Facility has no maximum facility amount, we expect the advancements under the Master Repurchase Facility to not exceed our equity, which, as of June 30, 2021, is $193,055. Our equity will change from time-to-time and may increase or decrease. We expect that the size of our Master Repurchase Facility may similarly change as our equity changes.

Under our Master Repurchase Facility, the initial purchase price paid by UBS for each Purchased Asset is up to 75% of the lesser of the market value of the Purchased Asset and the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset, subject to UBS’s approval. Upon the repurchase of a Purchased Asset, we are required to pay UBS the outstanding purchase price of the Purchased Asset, accrued interest and all accrued and unpaid expenses of UBS relating to such Purchased Assets. The pricing rate (or interest rate) relating to a Purchased Asset is equal to one month LIBOR plus a customary premium within a fixed range, determined by the debt yield and property type of the Purchased Asset’s real estate collateral. UBS has the discretion under our Master Repurchase Agreement to make advancements at margins higher than 75%. The weighted average interest rate for advancements under our Master Repurchase Facility was 2.39% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

In connection with our Master Repurchase Agreement, we entered into a guaranty, or the Guaranty, which requires us to guarantee 25% of the aggregate repurchase price, and 100% of losses in the event of certain bad acts as well any costs and expenses of UBS related to our Master Repurchase Agreement. The Guaranty also requires us to comply with customary financial covenants, which include the maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth, minimum cash liquidity and a total indebtedness to stockholders' equity ratio.

Our Master Repurchase Facility also contains margin maintenance provisions that provide UBS with the right, in certain circumstances related to a Credit Event (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) to redetermine the value of Purchased Assets. Where a decline in the value of such Purchased Assets has resulted in a margin deficit, UBS may require us to eliminate any margin deficit through a combination of Purchased Asset repurchases and cash transfers to UBS subject to UBS’s approval. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants and other terms under our Master Repurchase Agreement and the Guaranty.

As of June 30, 2021 and July 30, 2021, we had a $49,172 and a $69,172, respectively, aggregate outstanding principal balance under our Master Repurchase Facility.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded interest expense of $297 and $851, respectively, related to our former revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International Ltd. In November 2020, we repaid all outstanding amounts and terminated that facility.

Note 7.5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value MeasurementsMeasurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level I) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III). A financial asset’s or financial liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, theThe carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. At June 30, 2021, the outstanding principal balance under our Master Repurchase Facility approximated the fair value, as interest was based on floating rates based on LIBOR plus a spread, and the spread was consistent with those demanded by the market.
We estimate the fair values of our loans held for investment and outstanding principal balances under our Master Repurchase FacilitySecured Financing Facilities by using Level III inputs, including discounted cash flow analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date, determined by significant unobservable market inputs, which include holding periods, discount rates based on loan to value ratio, or LTV, property types and loan pricing expectations which are corroborated by a comparison with other market participants to determine the appropriate market spread to add to the one month LIBOR (Level III inputs as definedcurrent base interest.

The lawsuits were brought by the plaintiffs individually and are captioned Bishins v. Tremont Mortgage Trust, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05435 (S.D.N.Y., filed June 21, 2021), Lee v. Tremont Mortgage Trust, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05618 (S.D.N.Y., filed June 29, 2021), Merewether v. Tremont Mortgage Trust, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-13116 (D.N.J., filed June 29, 2021) and Parthenakis v. RMR Mortgage Trust, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05694 (S.D.N.Y, filed July 1, 2021), each, a complaint, and collectively, the complaints. The Bishins, Lee and Merewether complaints name as defendants TRMT and the TRMT board of trustees. The Bishins and Lee complaints also name RMRM as a defendant. The Parthenakis complaint names as defendants us and our Board of Trustees.

The plaintiffs generally assert claims under Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, contending that the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on June 9, 2021, and serving as the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus, omitted or misrepresented material information regarding the proposed merger between us and TRMT. The complaints generally seek injunctive relief preventing us and TRMT from consummating the Merger, rescission or rescissory damages, an award of plaintiffs’ costs, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and such other relief the court may deem just and proper. The Bishins complaint also seeks a declaration that the Merger Agreement was entered into in breach of the Bishins individual defendants’ fiduciary duties and is therefore unlawful and unenforceable. The Lee and Merewether complaints additionally seek a declaration that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and an order directing the defendants to disseminate a registration statement that does not contain any untrue or misleading statements of material fact. The Parthenakis complaint also seeks an order requiring the Parthenakis defendants to account to plaintiffs for all damages suffered as a result of their wrongdoing.

We and our Board of Trustees deny that we have violated any laws or breached any duties to our shareholders and believe the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q and in our 2021 Annual Report.
OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except share data)
We are a Maryland statutory trust. We were previously registered under the 1940 Act, as a closed-end management investment company.REIT. Our investment objective while we operated as a registered investment company was investing in equity securities of real estate companies.

On January 5, 2021, the SEC issued an order granting our request to deregister as an investment company under the 1940 Act. As a result, we changed our SEC registration to a reporting company under the Exchange Act. The issuance of the deregistration order enabled us to proceed with full implementation of our new business mandate to operate as a real estate investment trust that focuses primarilystrategy is focused on originating and investing in floating rate first mortgage whole loans secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate, or CRE. As a result of these changes to our business, we have not provided a comparison of our financial condition, any changes to financial conditions and results of operations to prior periods in which we were operating as a registered investment company because it would not be useful to our shareholders. The discussion herein is principally limited to our operations during the period following the SEC’s issuance of the deregistration order on January 5, 2021 to June 30, 2021. The results of operations from January 1, 2021 through January 4, 2021 were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements and have not been presented or discussed separately, but they are included in our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Under our new business strategy of originating and investing in first mortgage whole loans secured by middle market and transitional CRE, weWe define middle market CRE as commercial properties that have values up to $100,000 and transitional CRE as commercial properties subject to redevelopment or repositioning activities that are expected to increase the value of the properties. These assetsmortgage loans are classified as loans held for investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets. Loans held for investment are reported at cost, net of any unamortized loan fees, and origination costs, premiums or discounts, as applicable, unless the assets are deemed impaired.

Our ManagerTremont is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. We believe that our ManagerTremont provides us with significant experience and expertise in investing in middle market and transitional CRE.

We operate our business in a manner consistent with our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the IRC. As such, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that we meet certain distribution and other requirements. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act.

As noted earlier in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on April 26, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement with TRMT pursuant to which we have agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each of TRMT's common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the Exchange Ratio of one newly issued RMRM Common Share, subject to adjustment as described in the Merger Agreement, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Under the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the market price of our common shares or the TRMT Common Shares prior to the Effective Time. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, any unvested common share awards outstanding under TRMT's equity compensation plan generally will be converted into unvested RMRM Common Share awards under our equity compensation plan, subject to substantially similar vesting requirements and other terms and conditions, determined by multiplying the number of TRMT's unvested common shares subject to such award by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective upon consummation of the Merger, our Declaration of Trust will be amended to, among other things, change our name to "Seven Hills Realty Capital Trust” and provide our Board of Trustees authority to effect the conversion of us into a Maryland real estate investment trust without shareholder approval. Following the consummation of the Merger, our common shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol “SHRC”.

The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including, among other things: (1) approval of the Merger and the other Transactions to which TRMT is a party by at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by holders of its outstanding common shares at the special meeting of its shareholders scheduled to be held

on September 17, 2021 for that purpose; (2) approval of the Merger Share Issuance by at least a majority of all the votes cast by the holders of our outstanding Common Shares entitled to vote at the special meeting of our shareholders scheduled to be held on September 17, 2021 for that purpose; (3) the absence of any law or order by any governmental authority prohibiting, making illegal, enjoining or otherwise restricting, preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions; (4) the effectiveness of the Form S-4 filed by us with the SEC to register our Common Shares to be issued in the Merger; (5) Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of our Common Shares to be issued in the Merger, subject to official notice of issuance; and (6) the receipt of certain tax opinions from each party’s tax counsel. The Form S-4 was declared effective by the SEC on July 26, 2021. The record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, our and TRMT special meetings is July 14, 2021. Pending approval by our and TRMT shareholders at the special meetings of shareholders scheduled to be held on September 17, 2021, the Merger is expected to close during the third quarter of 2021.

The Merger Agreement provides that either party may terminate the agreement if the Merger is not consummated by December 31, 2021. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the IRC and to provide a tax-free exchange for TRMT's shareholders for our Common Share consideration they receive in the Merger, except that TRMT's shareholders generally may recognize gain or loss with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of our Common Shares.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of our and TRMT’s respective businesses prior to closing, subject to certain consent rights by us and TRMT, respectively, and covenants prohibiting us and TRMT from soliciting, providing information or entering into discussions concerning TRMT competing proposals (generally defined as proposals for 20% or more of the assets, revenues or earnings or equity of the applicable party), subject to certain exceptions.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both us and TRMT, including that under specified circumstances, either party is entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal (generally defined as proposals for 75% or more of the assets, revenues or earnings or equity of such party, which proposal such party’s board of trustees (or an authorized committee thereof) has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, (1) would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the shareholders of such party from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other Transactions, (2) for which the third party has demonstrated that the financing for such superior proposal is fully committed or is reasonably likely to be obtained, and (3) which is reasonably likely to receive all required approvals from any governmental authority and otherwise reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms proposed); provided that TRMT may only terminate the Merger Agreement after it has held the special meeting of its shareholders scheduled to be held on September 17, 2021 for the purpose of approving the Merger. Each party is required to pay the other party a termination fee of $2,156 plus the other party’s reasonable fees and expenses under certain circumstances related to such party’s change in recommendation, breach or termination in connection with a superior proposal. Except with respect to the foregoing, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions will be paid by the party incurring those expenses, except that we and TRMT will share equally any filing fees incurred in connection with the filing of the Form S-4 and the related joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Merger, the Merger Share Issuance and the other Transactions and the terms thereof were evaluated, negotiated and recommended, as applicable, to each of our and TRMT’s board of trustees by special committees of our and TRMT’s board of trustees, respectively, each comprised solely of our and TRMT’s disinterested, independent trustees, respectively, and were separately unanimously approved and adopted by our and TRMT’s independent trustees and by our and TRMT’s board of trustees, with independent trustees unanimously approving the Merger, the Merger Share Issuance and the other Transactions, as applicable. UBS Securities LLC acted as financial advisor to the special committee of our Board of Trustees and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as financial advisor to the special committee of TRMT's board of trustees.

COVID-19 Pandemic    
The COVID-19 pandemic and the various governmental and market responses intended to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus and its detrimental public health impact have had a significant impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy. Many of the restrictions that had been imposed in the United StatesU.S. during the pandemic have been lifted and commercial activity in the United StatesU.S. has increasingly returned to pre-pandemic practices and operations. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant impact on our business.

There remains uncertainty as to the ultimate duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, including risks that may arise from mutations or related strains of the virus, the ability to successfully administer vaccinations to a sufficient number of persons or attain immunity to the virus by natural or other means to achieve herd immunity or otherwise render the virus reasonably manageable, and the impact on the U.S. economy that may result from the inability of other countries to administer vaccinations to their citizens or their citizens’ ability to otherwise achieve immunity to the virus. As a result, we are unable to determine what the ultimate impact will be on our borrowers’ and other stakeholders’ businesses, operations, financial results and financial position. For further information and risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our business, and the various actions our Manager has takensee "Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" elsewhere in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, see our "Summary of Principal Risk Factors" included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, we had $250,710 in aggregate loan commitments, consisting of a diverse portfolio, geographically and by property type, of nine first mortgage loans. All of the loans in our portfolio are structured with risk mitigation mechanisms, such as cash flow sweeps or interest reserves, to help protect us against investment losses. In addition, we continue to actively engage with our borrowers regarding their execution of the business plans for the underlying collateral, among other things.
    As of July 30, 2021, all of our borrowers had paid all of their debt service obligations owed and due to us and none of the loans included in our investment portfolio were in default.
In July 2021, we originated a first mortgage loan of $27,385 which was used to refinance a multi-tenant office building located in Plano, TX. This loan requires the borrower to pay interest at the floating rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 475 basis points per annum. This floating rate loan includes an initial funding of $24,635 and a future funding allowance of $2,750 for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures and has a three-year initial term with two, one-year extension options, subject to the borrower meeting certain conditions.
Also in July 2021, we originated a first mortgage loan of $19,688 which was used to finance the acquisition of a 100-unit apartment building located in Portland, OR. This loan requires the borrower to pay interest at the floating rate of LIBOR plus a premium of 357 basis points per annum. This floating rate loan was fully funded at closing and has a three-year initial term with two, one-year extension options, subject to the borrower meeting certain conditions.
We did not have any impaired loans, non-accrual loans or loans in default as of June 30, 2021; thus, we did not record a reserve for loan loss as of that date. For further information regarding our risk rating policy, see Notes 3 and 5 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, depending on the duration10-Q and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting economic downturn, our borrowers' businesses, operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted. As a result, they may become unable to pay their debt service obligations owed and due to us, which may result in the impairment of those loans, and our recording loan loss reserves with respect to those loans and recording of any income with respect to those loans on a nonaccrual basis. For further information regarding the risks associated with our loan portfolio, see the risk factors identified in our "Summary of Principal RiskPart 1, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
As a result of the changes to our business, we have not provided a comparison of our financial statements to prior year periods in which we were operating as a registered investment company because it would not be useful to our shareholders. We have provided a 2021 sequential quarter comparison which we believe may be useful to investors because we have operated as a mortgage REIT since January 5, 2021. The discussion herein is principally limited to our operations during the period following the SEC's issuance of the deregistration order on January 5, 2021 to June 30, 2021.

Interest income from investments. The increase in interest income from investments was primarily the result of a full quarter of interest income from investments on two loan investments that were originated during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the interest income from the origination of two loan investments during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest and related expenses. The increase in interest and related expenses was primarily the result of advances made to us under our Master Repurchase Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

General and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to share-based compensation recognized as a result of trustee share grants awarded in May 2021, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.
Reimbursement of shared services expenses. Reimbursement of shared services expenses represents reimbursement of the costs for the services that our Manager arranges on our behalf from RMR LLC. The decrease in reimbursement of shared services expenses was primarily the result of decreased usage of shared services from RMR LLC during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax expense represents income taxes paid or payable by us in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.

We intend to elect to be taxedbelieve that Adjusted Book Value per common share is a meaningful measure of our capital adequacy because it excludes the unaccreted purchase discount resulting from the excess of the fair value of the loans TRMT then held for investment and that we acquired as a REIT underresult of the IRC, effectiveMerger over the consideration we paid in the Merger. Adjusted Book Value per common share does not represent book value per common share or alternative measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Book Value per common share may not be comparable to the adjusted book value per common share reported by other companies.

In order to qualifymaintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, we are generally required to distribute substantially all of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our shareholders.

In addition, Distributable Earnings is used in determining the amount of base management and management incentive fees payable by us to our ManagerTremont under our management agreement.

Distributable Earnings and Adjusted Distributable Earnings

We calculate Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings per common share as net income and net income per common share, respectively, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and excluding: (a) the management incentive fees earned by our Manager,Tremont, if any; (b) depreciation and amortization, if any; (c) non-cash equity compensation expense; (d) unrealized gains, losses and other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the period of the calculation (regardless of whether such items are included in or deducted from net income or in other comprehensive income under GAAP), if any; and (e) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items, if any. Distributable Earnings are reduced for realized losses on loan investments when amounts are deemed uncollectable.

(1)All in yield represents the yield on a loan, including amortization of deferred fees over the initial term of the loan and excluding any purchase discount accretion.
(2)Maximum maturity assumes all borrower loan extension options have been exercised, which options are subject to the borrower meeting certain conditions.
(3)    LTV represents the initial loan amount divided by the underwritten in-place value of the underlying collateral at closing.


As of March 31, 2022, we had $684,547 in aggregate loan commitments, consisting of a diverse portfolio, geographically and by property type, of 27 first mortgage loans. The impact from the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted some of our borrowers’ business operations or tenants, particularly in the cases of our retail and hospitality collateral, which are some of the types of properties that have been most negatively impacted by the pandemic. We expect that those negative impacts may continue and may apply to other borrowers and/or their tenants. Further, although economic activity in the U.S. has improved significantly from the low points during the pandemic to date, certain industries have not recovered to their pre-pandemic positions. Therefore, certain of our borrowers’ business plans will likely take longer to execute than initially expected and certain of our borrowers may be unable to pay their debt service obligation owed and due to us as currently scheduled. As of March 31, 2022, we had two loan representing approximately 4% of the carrying value of our loan portfolio with a loan risk rating of “4” or “higher risk”.

All of the loans in our portfolio are structured with risk mitigation mechanisms, such as cash flow sweeps or interest reserves, to help protect us against investment losses. In addition, we continue to actively engage with our borrowers regarding their execution of the business plans for the underlying collateral, among other things.

As of March 31, 2022 and April 25, 2022, all of our borrowers had paid all of their debt service obligations owed and due to us and none of the loans included in our investment portfolio were in default.

We did not have any impaired loans, non-accrual loans or loans in default as of March 31, 2022; thus, we did not record a reserve for loan loss as of that date. However, depending on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting economic downturn, our borrowers' businesses, operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted. As a result, they may become unable to pay their debt service obligations owed and due to us, which may result in the impairment of those loans, and our recording loan loss reserves with respect to those loans and recording of any income with respect to those loans on a nonaccrual basis. For further information regarding our loan portfolio and the risks associated with it, see Note 3 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our 2021 Annual Report.
Financing Activities
On March 11, 2022, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into our Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement for the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility. The Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility provides up to $125,000 in advances, with an option to increase the maximum facility to $250,000, subject to certain terms and conditions. We expect to use the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility to finance the acquisition or origination of floating rate commercial mortgage loans. The expiration date of the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement is March 11, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Agreement. The Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility acts in the manner of a revolving credit facility that can be repaid as our loan investments are repaid and re-drawn as we fund new or additional loan investments.

On March 15, 2022, we amended and restated our Citibank Master Repurchase Agreement, which governs the Citibank Master Repurchase Facility. The amended and restated Citibank Master Repurchase Agreement extended the stated maturity date of the Citibank Master Repurchase Facility to March 15, 2025, and made certain other changes to the agreement and related fee letter, including replacing LIBOR with SOFR for interest rate calculations on advancements under the Citibank Master Repurchase Facility and modifying certain pricing terms.

On April 25, 2022, we amended and restated our BMO Loan Program Agreement, which increased the maximum facility amount from $100,000 to $150,000.

Interest income from investments. The increase in interest income from investments was primarily the result of prepayment premiums and accelerated amortization of the deferred fees of $2,402 on two loans repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as well as a full quarter of interest income from investments on six loan investments that were originated during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and the interest income from the origination of three loan investments during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Purchase discount accretion. The fair value of the loans acquired in the Merger exceeded the purchase price of the loans. In accordance with GAAP, a purchase discount was recorded for the difference between the fair value and purchase price of the loans acquired. The purchase discount was allocated to each acquired TRMT loan and is being accreted into income over the remaining term of the respective loan. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, three loans acquired in the Merger were repaid, resulting in the respective allocated purchase discount being fully accreted. No loans acquired in the Merger were repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2022; therefore, purchase discount accretion decreased.

Interest and related expenses. The increase in interest and related expenses was primarily the result of an increase in advances made to us under our Secured Financing Facilities and an increase in interest rates on those advances during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

General and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation and professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021.
Reimbursement of shared services expenses. Reimbursement of shared services expenses represents reimbursement of the costs for the services that Tremont arranges on our behalf from RMR. The decrease in reimbursement of shared services expenses was primarily the result of an adjustment recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2021 to increase our estimate of costs for the usage of shared services from RMR for the year ended December 31, 2021 to reflect actual costs incurred.
Other transaction related costs. The decrease in other transaction related costs was primarily the result of a decrease in the costs associated with the final settlement of legal complaints filed in connection with the Merger and our conversion from a Maryland statutory trust to a Maryland REIT during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense represents income taxes paid or payable by us in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of income tax expense incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 on realized gains on the disposition of our securities portfolio upon our conversion from an investment company under the 1940 Act to a mortgage REIT.
Net income. The decrease in net income was due to the changes noted above.

Factors Affecting Operating Results

Our results of our operations are impacted by a number of factors and primarily depend on the interest income from our investments and the financing and other costs associated with our business. Our operating results are also impacted by general CRE market conditions and unanticipated defaults by our borrowers. For further information regarding the risks
associated with our loan portfolio, see the risk factors identified in "SummaryPart I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of Principal Risk Factors" included in our Current2021 Annual Report.
Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2021.

Table of Contents
Credit Risk. We are subject to the credit risk of our borrowers in connection with our investments. We seek to mitigate this risk by utilizing a comprehensive underwriting, diligence and investment selection process and by ongoing monitoring of our investments. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur that could adversely impact our operating results.

Changes in Fair Value of our Assets. We generally intend to hold our investments for their contractual terms, unless repaid earlier by the borrower.borrowers. We evaluate our investments for impairment at least quarterly. Impairments occur when it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the applicable contractual terms. If we determine that a loan is impaired, we will record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan to an amount that takes into account both the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's contractual effective interest rate and the fair value of any available collateral, net of any costs we expect to incur to realize that value.

Although we intend to generally hold our investments for their contractual terms or until repaid earlier by the borrower,borrowers, we may occasionally classify some of our investments as held for sale. Investments held for sale will be carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value less costs to sell within loans held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet,sheets, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. Fees received from our borrowers on any loans held for sale will be recognized as part of the gain or loss on sale. WeCurrently, we do not currently expect to hold any of our investments for trading purposes.

Availability of Leverage and Equity. We use leverage to make additional investments that may increase our returns. We may not be able to obtain the expected amount of leverage we desire or its cost may exceed our expectation and, consequently, the returns generated from our investments may be reduced. Our ability to further grow our loan portfolio over time will depend, to a significant degree, upon our ability to obtain additional capital. However, our access to additional capital depends on many factors including the price at which our common shares trade relative to their book value and market lending conditions. See " —Market"—Market Conditions" below.
Market Conditions.The outbreak CRE transaction total volume for 2021 exceeded the previous annual high watermark of 2019. Investor demand for CRE assets, historically low interest rates and strong property fundamentals, particularly for multifamily and industrial assets, have caused CRE valuations to continue to grow. These conditions continue to drive significant demand for CRE debt. CRE loan originations, driven by property acquisitions and refinancing activities of borrowers capitalizing on increasing property values, reached a record high in 2021. Investor demand for the relative risk adjusted returns offered by CRE debt investments has also contributed to the growth of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 led to a sharp decline in economic activity over the first half of 2020. The closing of non-essential businesses, "shelter-in-place" orders, restrictions on travel, cancellations of events and gatherings and limitations on building occupancies implemented to stop or slow the spread of the virus had a substantial negative impact on the CRE mortgage loan market. Many property owners granted lease forbearance to tenants unable or, in some cases, unwilling to make rent payments which, in turn,This increased the number of loan forbearance requests by property owners. In addition, volatility in the capital markets resulted in a substantial widening of credit spreads of commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, contributing to increased overall borrowing costs for banks and alternative lenders. Further, uncertainty surrounding the depth and duration of the economic downturn resulted in a severe decline in overall CRE transaction volume, and the financial burdens resulting from margin calls imposed on lenders, as a result of increased borrowing costs and declining collateral values, and many lenders’ shift in focus to manage large volumes of forbearance requests from borrowers caused new loan originations to significantly decline.

The CRE debt markets began to rebound in the third quarter of 2020 and are continuing to stabilize. CMBS credit spreads have declined such that newly issued AAA rated, investment grade bonds for conservatively underwritten loan pools with high quality collateral are trading at credit spreads less than those seen prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, issuance of CRE collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs (financial instruments secured by a pool of loans and used by lenders as a source of funding),demand has increased while CLO credit spreads have declined, providing additional liquidity to alternative lenders, like us.

While CRE transaction volume has improved recently, it has not returned to the average levels experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in property transaction volume and increased liquidity available to lenders has caused greater competition among lenders, including banks andallowed alternative lenders, like us, to fund new loans. We believe that this increased competition amongst lenders, along with significant declinescontinue to gain market share, as borrowers seek flexible capital to complete value add business plans to optimize property values or to have the option to sell or refinance in the LIBOR and U.S. treasury index rates, has benefited borrowers seeking loansshort to refinance high quality properties, particularly multifamily, industrial, life science or research and development/laboratory properties, that are either stabilized or near stabilization. Alternative lenders, like us, can provide flexible, shortermedium term financing to borrowers that may not be seeking longer term financing options because of economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the improvement of the securitization markets and the increase in lending activity, we believe challenges remain.time frames.

It is still unclear how the shift to flexible work-from-home schedules will impact the office sectorindustrial sectors. Transaction activity and demand for office space going forward. As such, lenders will continue to face underwriting challenges with respect to assumptions related to new leasing, tenant renewal probabilities and occupancy rates for office properties, especially assets located in downtown or central business district markets. As vaccination rates increase and companies re-evaluate their work-from-home policies, there should be increased clarity on the demand for office properties. Multifamily properties are expected toloan origination opportunities continue to be a preferred asset class by most lendersstrong, as CRE investors are seemingly willing to accept higher borrowing costs in the short term as they perceive longer term upside to rent growth resulting from continued demand for affordable rental housing and investors for the near term due to the stability of cash flows and the liquidity availableindustrial space.

Recovery from government sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; however, it is unclear what the impact of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moratorium on tenant evictions that expired on July 31, 2021 will have on the sector and how rent collections will be impacted. Industrial properties continue to perform well and benefit from the shift in consumers’ behavior to increased levels of e-commerce, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lastly, competition among lenders has caused alternative lenders, like us, to expand their loan portfolios to include certain asset types within these asset classes, such as data centers, manufactured housing, cold storage and self-storage, to achieve favorable yields on high quality properties that have been and may continue to be less susceptible to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.pandemic on the hospitality and retail sectors continues to improve. Hotels located in destinations that can be driven to, select service hotels that offer services and amenities in moderation and extended stay hotels continue to see improvements in performance, along with increased investor and lender demand. Retail has performed better than many expected and investors continue to favor grocery anchored, service oriented and neighborhood shopping centers over larger shopping centers anchored by big box retailers, regional malls or lifestyle centers. However, the office sector continues to pose underwriting challenges, especially for older suburban assets, and there continues to be uncertainty surrounding the long term impacts of work-from-home and flexible work schedules on demand for office space.

While the debt capital markets experienced strong performance in 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, we believe challenges remain. The longer-termlonger term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the risk of future variants of the virus is still uncertain. However,Supply chain issues remain and inflation has started to impact the broader markets. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in March 2022 and has indicated that it expects to raise interest rates several more times during 2022, which will continue to increase borrowing costs for property owners.

Despite these challenges, we believe that if and as the U.S. economy continues to improve and returns to a more stable state,grow, there will continue to be significant opportunities for alternative lenders like us to provide creative, flexible debt capital for a wide array of circumstances and business plans.

Changes in Market Interest RatesRates.. With respect to our business operations, increases in interest rates, in general, may cause: (a) the interest expense associated with our variable rate borrowings, if any, to increase; (b) the value of our fixed rate investments, if any, to decline; (c) the coupon rates on our variable rate investments, if any, to reset, perhaps on a delayed basis, to higher rates; and (d) it to become more difficult and costly for our borrowers, which may negatively impact their ability to repay our investments. See " —Market"—Market Conditions" above for a discussion of the current market including interest rates.

Conversely, decreases in interest rates, in general, may cause: (a) the interest expense associated with our variable rate borrowings, if any, to decrease; (b) the value of our fixed rate investments, if any, to increase; (c) the coupon rates on our variable rate investments, if any, to reset, perhaps on a delayed basis, to lower rates; and (d) it to become easier and more affordable for our borrowers to refinance, and as a result, repay our loans, but may negatively impact our future returns if any such repayment proceeds were to be reinvested in lower yielding investments.

The interest income on our loans and interest expense on our borrowings float with one month LIBOR.benchmark rates, such as LIBOR and SOFR. Because we generally intend to leverage approximately 75% of our investments, as LIBOR increases,benchmark rates increase above the floors of our loans, our income from investments, net of interest and related expenses, will increase. LIBOR decreasesDecreases in benchmark rates are mitigated by interest rate floor provisions in all but one of our loan agreements with borrowers; therefore, changes to income from investments, net, may not move proportionately with the increase or decrease in LIBOR. Based on our loan portfolio at June 30, 2021,benchmark rates. As of March 31, 2022, LIBOR was 0.08%and SOFR were 0.45% and 0.30%, respectively, and would have to exceed the floor established by any of our loans, which currently range from 0.50%0.10% to 1.00%2.32%, for us to realize an increase in interest income.

LIBOR is currently expected to be phased out for new contracts by December 31, 2021 and for pre-existing contracts by June 30, 2023. Our Master Repurchase Agreement, with UBS states that at such time as LIBOR shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, the replacement base rate shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein so that the resulting rate approximates LIBOR as close as reasonably possible) as determined by UBS under similar facilities for the financing of similar assets and is consistent with the pricing index of similarly situated counterparties. We also currently expect that, as a result of any phase out of LIBOR, the interestInterest rates under our loan agreements with borrowers wouldentered into prior to January 1, 2022 have been or are expected to be amended to replace LIBOR for an alternative benchmark rate (which may includewith SOFR prior to June 30, 2023, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR or another ratedate LIBOR is expected to no longer be available. Since January 1, 2022, interest rates under our new loan agreements with borrowers are based on SOFR) that will approximate the existingSOFR. Our Citibank Master Repurchase Agreement was amended and restated in March 2022 to, among other things, replace LIBOR with SOFR for interest rate as calculated in accordance with LIBOR.calculations on advances. Interest rates on advances under our BMO Facility and Wells Fargo Master Repurchase Facility have been based on SOFR since we entered into the agreements governing these facilities.

Size of Portfolio. The size of our loan portfolio, as measured both by the aggregate principal balance and the number of our CRE loans and our other investments, is also an important factor in determining our operating results. Generally, if the size of our loan portfolio grows, the amount of interest income we receive would increase and we may achieve certain economies of scale and diversify risk within our loan portfolio. A larger portfolio, however, may result in increased expenses; for example,
29

Table of Contents
we may incur additional interest expense or other costs to finance our investments. Also, if the aggregate principal balance of our loan portfolio grows but the number of our loans or the number of our borrowers does not grow, we could face increased risk by reason of the concentration of our investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Under the Merger Agreement, we have agreed to conduct our business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The Merger Agreement contains certain operating covenants that could affect our liquidity and capital resources, but we do not expect any material changes to our liquidity and capital resources prior to consummation of the Merger or, if applicable, the termination of the Merger Agreement, other than those which may occur in the ordinary course of our business. See Note 1 to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the Merger Agreement.

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund our lending commitments, repay or meet margin calls resulting from our borrowings, if any, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our shareholders and fund other business operating requirements. We require a significant amount of cash to originate, purchase and invest in our target investments, make additional unfunded loan commitment payments, repay principal and interest on our borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and fund other business operating requirements. The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath on financial markets is uncertain. To the extent that impact is significant, negative and sustained for an extended period, we expect that we may be challenged in accessing capital.
