Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc., (the "Company") is a real estate finance company that primarily originates, acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments secured by properties located within and outside the United States. The Company is a Maryland corporation and has made tax elections to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes since 2013.

The Company believes that it has qualified as a REIT and intends to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Benefit Street Partners Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP. In addition, the Company, through one or more subsidiaries which are treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”), is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes.

The Company has no employees. Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. serves as the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") pursuant

to an advisory agreement, as amended on August 18, 2021 (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Advisor, an investment adviser registered with the SEC, is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm.

Established in 2008, the Advisor's credit platform manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private/opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the platform. The Advisor manages the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation fees and reimbursements for services related to the investment and management of the Company's assets and the operations of the Company. The advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., which together with its various subsidiaries operates as "Franklin Templeton”.

The Company invests in commercial real estate debt investments, which may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. The Company also originates conduit loans which the Company intends to sell through its TRS into commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") securitization transactions. Historically this business has focused primarily on CMBS, commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation bonds ("CRE CLO bonds"), ~~unsecured REIT debt,~~ collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and other securities. As a result of the October 2021 acquisition of Capstead Mortgage Corporation ("Capstead"), the Company acquired a portfolio of residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) in the form of residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities ("ARM Agency Securities" or "ARMs") issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises or by an agency of the federal government. Although the Company continues to hold a small portion of this portfolio it does not intend to do so long-term and intends to reinvest proceeds from this portfolio in its other ~~businesses~~. businesses. The Company also owns real estate that was either acquired by the Company through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or that was purchased for investment, ~~typically~~primarily subject to triple net leases.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of, and for the year ended December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on ~~February 25, 2022.~~March 16, 2023.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the entire year or any subsequent interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the OP.

The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Non-controlling interest represents the equity of a consolidated joint ~~venture~~ventures that isare not owned by the Company.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") issued and securitized by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has determined the CLOs are VIEs of which the Company's subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the CLOs are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Unrealized gain/(loss) on other real estate investments, measured at fair value of ($4.0) thousand, was reclassified to Gain/(loss) on other real estate investments on the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Realized gain/(loss) on other real estate investments, measured at fair value of $33 thousand was reclassified to Gain/(loss) on other real estate investments on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively was reclassified from Professional fees to Share-based compensation on the consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition Expenses

~~The~~For commercial mortgage loans, held for investment the Company capitalizes certain direct costs relating to loan origination activities. The cost is amortized over the life of the loan and recognized in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition expenses paid on future funding amounts are expensed within the acquisition expenses line in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts deposited with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company up to an insurance limit. Cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash pledged as margin on repurchase agreements and derivative transactions. The duration of this restricted cash generally matches the duration of the related repurchase agreements or derivative transaction.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Held for Investment - Commercial mortgage loans that are held for investment purposes and are anticipated to be held until maturity, are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition expenses, discounts or premiums and unfunded commitments. Commercial mortgage loans, held for investment ~~purposes,~~ are ~~carried~~reported at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization or accretion is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Guaranteed loan commitment fees payable by the borrower upon maturity are accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of guaranteed loan commitment fees is recognized in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Held for Sale - Commercial mortgage loans that are intended to be sold in the foreseeable future are reported as held for sale and are ~~transferred at fair value and~~ recorded at the lower of cost or fair value with changes recorded through the statements of operations. Unamortized loan origination costs for commercial mortgage loans held for sale that are carried at the lower of cost or fair value are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the loans and recognized upon the sale of such loans. Amortization of origination costs ceases upon transfer of commercial mortgage loans to held for sale.

The Company has elected to measure commercial mortgage loans held for sale in the Company's TRS under the fair value option. These commercial mortgage loans are included in ~~the~~ Commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets.

Costs to originate these investments are expensed when incurred.

Real estate owned

The Company classifies its real estate owned as long-lived assets held for investment or as long-lived assets held for sale. Held for investment assets are stated at cost, as adjusted for any impairment loss, less accumulated depreciation.

Real estate owned, ~~is classified as~~ held for sale in the period in which the six criteria under ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" are met: (1) we commit to a plan and have the authority to sell the asset; (2) the asset is available for sale in its current condition; (3) we have initiated an active marketing plan to locate a buyer for the asset; (4) the sale of the asset is both probable and expected to qualify for full sales recognition within a period of 12 months; (5) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reflective of its current fair value; and (6) we do not anticipate changes to our plan to sell the asset. Held for sale assets are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

investment - Amounts capitalized to real estate owned, held for investment consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, any tenant improvements or major improvements, betterments that extend the useful life of the related asset, and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of an individual asset that does not qualify as a business combination. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the Company capitalizes interest while the development, or redevelopment, of a real estate owned asset is in progress. No development or redevelopments of real estate owned assets are in progress as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

The Company’s real estate owned, held for investment assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:


Buildings			40 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment			15 years
Site Improvements			5 - 25 years
Intangible lease assets			Lease term

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of either operating properties or properties under construction in which the Company has an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses whether the respective carrying values will be recovered from the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition for assets held for use, or from the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that the expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the respective asset carrying value, management adjusts such assets to the respective estimated fair values and recognizes an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, depending upon availability, in order of preference: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated sales value (which is based on key assumptions such as estimated market rents, lease-up periods, estimated lease terms, and capitalization and discount rates) less estimated selling costs.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities of Acquired Properties

Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company records the fair value of properties (plus any related acquisition costs) allocated based on relative fair value as tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based on their estimated fair values. Substantially all of the Company’s property acquisitions qualify as asset acquisitions under ~~Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")~~ASC 805, Business Combinations.

The estimated fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building based on management’s determination of the estimated fair value of these assets. Management relies on a sales comparison approach using closed land sales and listings in determining the land value and determines the as-if-vacant estimated fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates the cost to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs.

The estimated fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of market rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases, taking into consideration the probability of renewals for any below-market leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenues over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

The estimated fair values of in-place leases include an estimate of the direct costs associated with obtaining the acquired or "in place" tenant and estimates of opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease. The amount capitalized as direct costs associated with obtaining a tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated based on management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct lease origination costs are included in ~~deferred~~Deferred lease costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. These lease intangibles are included in ~~intangible~~Intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

General allowance for credit losses

The general allowance for credit losses for the Company’s financial instruments carried at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loans held for investment and unfunded loan commitments represents a lifetime estimate of expected credit losses. Factors considered by the Company when determining the general allowance for credit losses reserve include loan-specific characteristics such as loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio, vintage year, loan term, property type, occupancy and geographic location, financial performance of the borrower, expected payments of principal and interest, as well as internal or external information relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The general allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist for multiple financial instruments. If similar risk characteristics do not exist, the Company measures the general allowance for credit losses on an individual instrument basis. The determination of whether a particular financial instrument should be included in a pool can change over time. If a financial asset’s risk characteristics change, the Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to continue to keep the financial instrument in its existing pool or evaluate it individually.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

In measuring the general allowance for credit losses for financial instruments including our unfunded loan commitments that share similar risk characteristics, the Company primarily applies a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model for instruments that are collectively assessed, whereby the allowance for credit losses is calculated as the product of PD, LGD and exposure at default (“EAD”). The Company’s model principally utilizes historical loss rates derived from a commercial mortgage backed securities database with historical losses from ~~1998 to 2022~~2001 - 2021 provided by a reputable third party, forecasting the loss parameters using a scenario-based statistical approach over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of twelve months, followed by an immediate reversion to average historical losses. ~~For~~

Specific allowance for credit losses

For financial instruments where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company’s assessment at the reporting date ~~the~~and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the Company may elect to use as a practical expedient the fair value of the collateral ~~as of~~at the reporting date when determining a specific allowance for credit losses.

For financial instruments which the Company identifies reasonable doubt as to whether the collection of contractual components can be satisfied, a loan specific allowance analysis is performed. Determining whether a specific allowance for credit losses for a loan is required entails significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to have a specific allowance for current losses, the specific allowance for current losses is recorded as a component of our Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") reserve by applying the practical expedient for collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserve is assessed on an individual basis for such loans by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require ~~significant~~ judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plans, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by the Company. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ materially from these estimates. The Company only expects to write-off specific allowances for current losses if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is generally determined at the time a loan is settled, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold. Non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in the Company's determination, it is deemed certain that all amounts due will not be collected. If a loan is determined to be impaired based on the above considerations, management records a write-off through a charge to the ~~"Specific allowance~~"Allowance for credit losses" and the respective loan balance.

Risk Rating

In developing the allowances for credit losses for its loans held for investment, the Company performs a comprehensive analysis of its loan portfolio and assigns risk ratings to loans that incorporate management's current judgments about their credit quality based on all known and relevant internal and external factors that may affect collectability, using similar factors as those in developing the allowance for credit losses. This methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. Risk rating categories range from "1" to "5" with "1" representing the lowest risk of loss and "5" representing the highest risk of loss with the ratings updated quarterly. At the time of origination or purchase, loans held for investment are ranked as a “2” and will move accordingly going forward based on the ratings which are defined as follows:

1.Very Low Risk- Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable.

2.Low Risk- Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable.

3.Average Risk- Performing investments requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.

4.High Risk/Delinquent/Defaulted/Potential for Loss- Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.

5.Impaired/Loss Likely- Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

The Company also considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to, economic and business conditions, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, lending terms, volume and severity of past due loans, concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations in its determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Changes in the allowances for credit losses for the Company’s financial instruments are recorded in Provision/(benefit) for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding offset to the financial instrument’s amortized cost recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, or as a component of Accounts payable and accrued expenses for unfunded loan commitments.

The Company has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable as balances are written off in a timely manner when loans, real estate securities or preferred equity investments are designated as non-performing and placed on non-accrual or cost recovery status within 90 days of becoming past due.

Non-performing status

The Company designates loans as non-performing when (i) full payment of principal ~~and~~and/or coupon interest components become 90-days past due ("non-accrual status"); or (ii) the Company has reasonable doubt as to whether the collection of contractual components can be satisfied ("cost recovery status"). When a loan is designated as non-performing and placed on non-accrual status, interest is only recognized as income when payment has been received. Loans designated as non-performing and placed on non-accrual status are removed from their non-performing designation when collection of principal and coupon interest components have been satisfied. When a loan is designated as non-performing and placed on cost recovery status, the cost-recovery method is applied to which receipt of principal or coupon interest is recorded as a reduction to the amortized cost until collection of all contractual components are reasonably assured.

~~Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”)~~

The Company classifies an individual financial instrument as a TDR when it has a reasonable expectation that the financial instrument’s contractual terms will be modified in a manner that grants concession to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions could include term extensions, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, forbearance, or other actions designed to maximize the Company’s collection on the financial instrument. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses for financial instruments that are TDRs individually.

Real Estate Securities

Available For Sale

~~On the acquisition date, all of the~~The Company’s ~~commercial~~ real estate securities ~~were~~are classified as available for sale ("AFS") and carried at fair value. Changes in fair value ~~and subsequently any unrealized gains or losses~~of available for sale real estate securities are recognized ~~as a component~~in the consolidated statements of ~~accumulated other~~ comprehensive income or loss. The Company focuses on investing in and asset managing real estate securities. Historically this business has focused primarily on CMBS, CRE CLO bonds, unsecured REIT debt, CDO notes and other securities.income. Related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized or accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization isand accretion are reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the specific identification method in determining the cost relief for real estate securities sold. Realized gains and losses from the sale of ~~real estate~~available for sale securities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

If the Company intends to sell an impaired real estate security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis.

The Company analyzes the AFS ~~security~~real estate securities portfolio on a periodic basis for credit losses at the individual security level using the same criteria described above for those amortized cost financial assets subject to ~~an allowance~~a provision for credit losses including but not limited to; performance of the underlying assets in the security, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, credit ratings, project economics and geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors.

The non-credit loss component of the unrealized loss within the Company’s AFS portfolio is recognized as an adjustment to the individual security’s asset balance with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

Trading

ARM Agency Securities and are classified as "trading".

ARM Agency Securities are recorded at fair value and are classified as trading on the balance sheet with trading gains and losses ~~on the paydowns~~due to fair value changes and sales of these securities recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company calculates trading gains and losses on the sales of ARM Agency Securities based on the specific identification method. Fair values fluctuate with current and projected changes in interest rates, prepayment expectations and other factors such as market liquidity conditions and the perceived credit quality of agency securities. Judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values, particularly in circumstances of deteriorating credit quality and market liquidity.

Repurchase Agreements

Commercial mortgage loans and real estate securities sold under repurchase agreements have been treated as collateralized financing transactions because the Company maintains effective control over the transferred securities. Commercial mortgage loans and real estate securities financed through a repurchase agreement remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset and cash received from the purchaser is recorded as a liability. Interest paid in accordance with repurchase agreements is recorded in interest expense on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

In January 2022 and 2023, the Company issued ~~for the first time~~ under the 2021 Incentive Plan awards of restricted stock units ("RSUs") to its officers and certain other personnel of the Advisor who provide services to the Company. These awards are service-based and vest in equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary of the date of grant over a period of three years, subject to continuing service. One share of the Company’s common stock ~~will be~~is issued for each unit that vests. These awards also grant non-forfeitable dividend equivalent rights equal to the cash dividend paid in the ordinary course on a common share to the Company's common shareholders. Upon termination for any reason, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited by the grantee, who will be given no further rights to such RSUs. The fair value of the RSUs is expensed over the vesting period, which are included in Share-based compensation expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company also ~~has~~had an Amended and Restated Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP"), which ~~provides~~provided the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, the Advisor and its affiliates.

Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient’s employment or other relationship with the Company. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash distributions prior to the time that the restrictions on the shares have lapsed. Any distributions payable in common shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares. The fair value of the restricted share awards are expensed over the vesting period.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company may suspend, modify or terminate the ~~Amended~~ DRIP at any time in its sole discretion.

Income Taxes

The Company has conducted its operations to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, if the Company meets certain organizational and operational requirements and distributes at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders in a year, it will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of the income that it distributes. However, even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on income in addition to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company, through its TRSs, is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. The Company’s TRSs are not consolidated for U.S. federal income tax purposes but are instead taxed as C corporations. For financial reporting purposes, the TRSs are consolidated and a provision for current and deferred taxes is established for the portion of earnings recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in its TRSs. Total (Provision)/benefit for income tax ~~(benefit)/provision~~ for the three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 was $(0.1) million and $0.6 million, respectively. Total (Provision)/benefit for income tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 ~~and September 30, 2021~~ was ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million and ~~$1.1~~$0.1 million, respectively.

The Company uses a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or to be taken in a tax return. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open tax years beginning with December 31, 2017 and concluded that there were no uncertainties to be recognized. The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties is to classify these amounts as provision for income taxes.

The Company utilizes the TRSs to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax and to avoid penalty for the holding of assets not qualifying as real estate assets for purposes of the REIT asset tests. Any income associated with a TRS is fully taxable because the TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes as a domestic C corporation based upon its net income.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and may undertake a strategy to limit these risks through the use of derivatives. The Company uses derivatives primarily to economically hedge against interest rates, CMBS spreads and macro market risk in order to minimize volatility. The Company may use a variety of derivative instruments that are considered conventional, including but not limited to: Treasury note futures, interest rate swaps, and credit derivatives on various indices including CMBX and CDX.

The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company does not designate derivatives as hedges to qualify for hedge accounting for financial reporting purposes and therefore any net payments under, or fluctuations in the fair value of these derivatives have been recognized currently in unrealized ~~(gain)/loss~~gain/(loss) on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company records derivative asset and liability positions on a gross basis with any collateral posted with or received from counterparties recorded separately within Restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Certain derivatives that the Company has entered into are subject to master netting agreements with its counterparties, allowing for netting of the same transaction, in the same currency, on the same date.

Per Share Data

The ~~Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock (when it was outstanding), and~~Company’s Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock are each considered a participating security and the Company calculates basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The Company’s dilutive earnings per share calculation is computed using the more dilutive result of the treasury stock method, assuming the participating security is a potential common share, or the two-class method, assuming the participating security is not converted. The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income applicable to common stock for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares outstanding if potential shares of common stock with a dilutive effect have been issued in connection with the restricted stock plan or upon conversion of the outstanding shares of ~~Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock (when it was outstanding) and~~ the Company’s Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive.

Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has four reportable segments based on how the chief operating decision maker reviews and manages the business. The four reporting segments are as follows:

•The real estate debt business which is focused on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgages, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans.

Credit Characteristics

As part of the Company's process for monitoring the credit quality of its commercial mortgage loans, excluding those held for sale, measured at fair value, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its loans. The loans are scored on a scale of 1 to 5 as ~~follows:~~


~~Investment Rating~~						~~Summary Description~~
1						~~Very Low Risk~~ ~~- Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable.~~
2						~~Low Risk~~ ~~- Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable.~~
3						~~Average Risk~~ ~~- Performing investments requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration.~~
4						~~High Risk/Defaulted/Potential For Loss~~ ~~- Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.~~
5						~~Impaired/Loss Likely~~ ~~- Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.~~

described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

All commercial mortgage loans, excluding loans classified as commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value within the consolidated balance sheets, are assigned an initial risk rating of 2. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the weighted average risk rating of ~~the~~ loans was ~~2.1.~~2.2 and 2.2, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements - Real Estate Securities Classified As Trading

The Company pledges its real estate securities classified as trading as collateral for repurchase agreements with commercial banks and other financial institutions. Repurchase arrangements entered into by the Company involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets at a future date and are accounted for as ~~financings.~~financing agreements. The Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific securities pledged during the term of each repurchase arrangement and receives the related principal and interest payments.

The terms and conditions of repurchase agreements are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis when each such agreement is initiated or renewed. The amount borrowed is generally equal to the fair value of the securities pledged, as determined by the lending counterparty, less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a “haircut.” Interest rates are generally fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings. Interest may be paid monthly or at the termination of an agreement at which time the Company may enter into a new agreement at prevailing haircuts and rates with the same lending counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different lending counterparty. None of the Company’s lending counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new agreements at the conclusion of existing agreements. In response to declines in fair value of pledged securities due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security pay-down factors, lending counterparties typically require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or fund cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements. These actions are referred to as margin calls. Conversely, in response to increases in fair value of pledged securities, the Company routinely margin calls its lending counterparties in order to have previously pledged collateral returned.

(2) On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. (the “FCA”) announced that LIBOR tenors relevant to 2019-FL5 Issuer, 2021-FL6 Issuer, and 2021-FL7 Issuer would cease to be published or no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) interpreted this announcement to constitute a benchmark transition event. The benchmark index of 1M LIBOR interest rate will convert from LIBOR to compounded SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment of 11.448 basis points with a lookback period equal to the number of calendar days in the applicable interest accrual period plus two SOFR business days, conforming with the indenture agreement and recommendations from the ARRC. Compounded SOFR for any interest accrual period shall be the “30-Day Average SOFR” as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on each benchmark determination date. Subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company converted the indices for 2021-FL6 Issuer and 2021-FL7 Issuer to 1M Term SOFR + 11.448 basis points and the applicable spreads remains unchanged.

(3) On July 17, 2023, the Company called all of the outstanding notes issued by BSPRT 2019-FL5 Issuer, Ltd., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company.

Note 8 - Earnings Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. Net income/(loss) is allocated between our common stock and other participating securities based on their participation rights. Diluted net income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and other dilutive securities. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations and the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The Company’s board of directors has authorized a $65 million share repurchase program of the Company’s common stock.

Purchases made under the program may be made through open market, block, and privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any purchases by the Company will be determined by the Company in its reasonable business judgment and consistent with the exercise of its legal duties and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. The Company share repurchase program will remain open until at least December 31, 2023 or until the capital committed to the applicable repurchase program has been exhausted, whichever is sooner.

Note 13 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair values. 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 the hierarchy are described below:

•Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•Level II - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

•Level III - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.

The Company has implemented valuation control processes to validate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and the assumptions are reasonable.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

CRE CLO bonds, recorded in real estate securities, available for sale, measured at fair value on the consolidated balance

sheets are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, and recent trades of similar real estate securities. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company ~~utilizes a~~obtains third party pricing ~~service to obtain a current estimated liquid price~~for determining the fair value of ~~the securities,~~each CRE CLO investment, resulting in a Level II classification.

Real estate securities classified as trading, RMBS, are measured at fair value by utilizing a third party pricing service to obtain a current estimated ~~liquid~~ price of the securities. The third party pricing service utilizes relevant market information and interest rate movements and applies its internal pricing application to the evaluation to test against internal tolerances and parameters. The RMBS are classified in Level IIIII of the fair value hierarchy.

Commercial mortgage loans held for sale, measured at fair value in the Company's TRS are initially recorded at transaction ~~proceeds,~~price, which are considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value. The Company engaged the services of a third party independent valuation firm to determine fair value of certain investments held by the Company. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model that primarily considers changes in interest rates and credit spreads, weighted average life and current performance of the underlying collateral. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale, measured at fair value that are originated in the last month of the reporting period are held and marked to the transaction ~~proceeds.~~price. The Company classified the commercial mortgage loans held for sale, measured at fair value as Level III.

Other real estate investments, measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are valued using unobservable inputs. The Company engaged the services of a third party independent valuation firm to determine fair value of certain investments, including preferred equity investments, held by the Company. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model that primarily considers changes in interest rates and credit spreads, weighted average life and current performance of the underlying collateral. The Company classified the other real estate investments, measured at fair value as Level III.

The fair value for Treasury note futures is derived using market prices. Treasury note futures trade on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”). The instruments are a variety of recently issued 10-year U.S. Treasury notes. The future contracts are liquid and are centrally cleared through the CME. Treasury note futures are generally categorized inas Level III of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value for credit default swaps and interest rate swaps contracts are derived using pricing models that are widely accepted by marketplace participants. Credit default swaps and some interest rate swaps are traded in the ~~OTC~~over the counter ("OTC") market. The pricing models take into account multiple inputs including specific contract terms, interest rate yield curves, interest rates, credit curves, recovery rates, and/or current credit spreads obtained from swap counterparties and other market participants. Most inputs into the models are not subjective as they are observable in the marketplace or set per the contract. Valuation is primarily determined by the difference between the contract spread and the current market spread. The contract spread (or rate) is generally fixed and the market spread is determined by the credit risk of the underlying debt or reference entity. If the underlying indices are liquid and the OTC market for the current spread is active, credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are categorized in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. If the underlying indices are illiquid and the OTC market for the current spread is not active, credit default swaps are categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The credit default swaps and interest rate swaps are generally categorized inas Level II of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of exchange-traded swap agreements economically hedging RMBS repurchase agreements are calculated using the net discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts which are based on expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company also incorporates both its own nonperformance risk and its counterparties’ nonperformance risk in determining fair value. In considering the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considered the impact of netting and credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees, and has concluded that counterparty risk is not significant to the overall valuation. Interest rate swap agreements economically hedging the Company's RMBS repurchase agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level II inputs. The fair value of these derivatives ~~are~~is calculated including accrued interest and net of variation margin amounts received or paid through the exchange, resulting in ~~separately presenting on the balance sheet~~ a significantly reduced fair value amount representing the unsettled fair value of these ~~derivatives.~~derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets or liabilities. The Company's policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no material transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy for the ~~periods~~period ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 and~~2023. Material transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the period ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022 were specifically related to the transfer of ARM Agency Securities from Level II to Level III.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Real Estate Owned, held for sale, recorded in Real estate owned, held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets are valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820. Under ASC 820, the Company may utilize the income, market or cost approach (or combination thereof) to determine the fair value of real estate owned. The Company deems the inputs used in these approaches to be unobservable quantitative inputs. Therefore, the Company classifies the fair value of real estate owned, held for sale within Level II of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had one office property located in St. Louis, MO measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets with a fair value less estimated costs to sell of $11.8 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the office property was written down to its estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell utilizing the market approach with an unobservable input based on the purchase price defined in a purchase and sale agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $1.9 million included in Gain/(loss) on other real estate investments in the Company's consolidated financial statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets.

~~The Company did not hold any unsecured-debt related swaps at quarter-end September 30, 2022.~~

The Company's portfolio of derivatives additionally hedges the variability of the underlying benchmark interest rate of current and forecasted 30- to 90-day repurchase agreements. The Company attempts to mitigate exposure to higher interest rates primarily by entering into pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements for terms between eighteen months and three years. From an economic perspective, this hedge relationship establishes a relatively stable fixed rate on related debt because the variable-rate payments received on the swap agreements offset a significant portion of the interest accruing on the debt, leaving the fixed-rate swap payments as the Company’s effective borrowing rate. Additionally, changes in fair value of these derivatives tend to offset opposing changes in fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage investments that can occur in response to changes in market interest rates.

Interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily using Level ~~Two~~II Inputs in accordance with ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). In determining fair value estimates for swaps, ~~The~~the Company utilizes the standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted future variable cash receipts which are based on expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company also incorporates both its own nonperformance risk and its counterparties’ nonperformance risk in determining fair value. In considering the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company considered the impact of netting and credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and guarantees, and has concluded that counterparty risk is not significant to the overall valuation.

The fair value of exchange-traded swap agreements hedging repurchase agreements is calculated including accrued interest and net of variation margin amounts received or paid through the exchange, resulting in separately presenting on the balance sheet a fair value amount representing the unsettled fair value of these derivatives. Non-exchange traded swap agreements held as cash flow hedges of unsecured debt are reported at fair value calculated excluding accrued interest. As of September 30, 2022, cash collateral receivable from derivative counterparties includes initial margin for all derivatives and variation margin for non-exchange traded derivatives. Accrued interest for non-exchange traded swap agreements is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Note 16 - Segment Reporting

The Company conducts its business through the following ~~reporting~~ segments:

•The real estate debt business focuses on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first ~~mortgage loans,~~mortgages, subordinate mortgages, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans.

•The real estate securities business focuses on investing in and asset managing real estate securities. Historically this business has focused primarily on CMBS, CRE CLO bonds, ~~unsecured REIT debt,~~ CDO notes, and other securities.

The TRS may also hold certain mezzanine loans that don't qualify as good REIT assets due to any potential loss from foreclosure.

•The real estate owned business represents real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or purchase.

Table of Contents

Overview

The Company is a Maryland corporation and has made tax elections to be treated as a ~~REIT~~real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes since 2013. The Company, through one or more subsidiaries which are each treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), is indirectly subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. We commenced business in May 2013. We primarily originate, acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments secured by properties located within and outside of the United States. ~~Commercial real estate debt investments may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans.~~ Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP, a Delaware limited partnership. We are the sole general partner and directly or indirectly hold all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP.

The Company has no employees. We are managed by our Advisor pursuant to an Advisory Agreement ~~as amended on August 18, 2021~~ (the "Advisory Agreement"). Our Advisor manages our affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of our assets and our operations.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Advisor, an SEC-registered investment adviser, is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm. The Advisor manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private / opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the Advisor’s robust platform. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., which together with its various subsidiaries operates as ~~“Franklin Templeton.”~~"Franklin Templeton".

The Company invests in commercial real estate debt investments, which may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. The Company also originates conduit loans which the Company intends to sell through its TRS into commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") securitization transactions at a profit. Historically this business has focused primarily on CMBS, commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation bonds ("CRE CLO ~~bonds, unsecured REIT debt,~~bonds"), collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") and other securities. As a result of the October 2021 acquisition of Capstead Mortgage Corporation ~~(“Capstead”~~("Capstead"), the Company acquired ~~and continues to hold~~ a portfolio of residential ~~mortgage backed~~mortgage-backed securities ~~(“RMBS”~~("RMBS") in the form of residential adjustable-rate mortgage pass-through securities (“("ARM Agency ~~Securities”~~Securities" or "ARMs") issued and guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises or by an agency of the federal government. Although the Company continues to hold a small portion of this portfolio it does not intend to do so long-term and intends to reinvest proceeds from the remaining portion of the portfolio in its other businesses. The Company also owns real estate which it acquires through foreclosure and deed in lieu of foreclosure, and which it purchases for investment, typically subject to triple net leases.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Critical accounting estimates are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

(1)Our floating rate loan agreements generally contain the contractual obligation for the borrower to maintain an interest rate cap to protect against rising interest rates. In a simple interest rate cap, the borrower pays a premium for a notional principal amount based on a capped interest rate (the “cap rate”). When the floating rate exceeds the cap rate, the borrower receives a payment from the cap counterparty equal to the difference between the floating rate and the cap rate on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. When interest rates rise, the value of an interest rate cap will increase, thereby reducing the borrower's exposure to rising interest rates.

(2) ~~Loan~~On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. (the “FCA”) announced that LIBOR tenors would cease to be published or no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) interpreted this announcement to constitute a benchmark transition event. The benchmark index of LIBOR interest rate will convert from LIBOR to compounded SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment of 11.448 basis points. As of June 30, 2023, our commercial mortgage loans, held for investment which were indexed at LIBOR were converted to SOFR utilizing the 11.448 basis points adjustment and the applicable spreads remains unchanged. The loans which have the SOFR adjustment are indicated with "Adj. 1M SOFR Term."

(2) Effective yield is calculated as the spread of the loan plus the greater of the applicable index or index floor.

(3) Loan-to-value percentage ("LTV") represents the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value ~~percentage is from metrics~~of the property at the time of origination. ~~Predevelopment~~However, for predevelopment construction loans at origination, ~~will~~LTV is not ~~have an LTV~~applicable and is therefore is nil.

~~(3)~~(4) Loan was designated as non-performing and placed on cost recovery status. In this instance, the assumed collateral value was less than the value of the loan, therefore the LTV at origination is not relevant.

~~(4)~~Commitment on the loan was unfunded as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, revenue from real estate owned was $9.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The $5.2 million increase was primarily the result of the retail properties brought on as real estate owned, held for investment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in specific CECL reserve of $12.7 million was primarily related to the additional specific CECL provision on one office loan located in Portland, OR coupled with higher capitalization rates on the assumed fair value of the properties in the Walgreens Portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our expected material cash requirements over the next twelve months and thereafter are ~~comprised~~composed of (i) contractually obligated expenditures, including payments of principal and interest and contractually-obligated fundings on our loans; (ii) other essential expenditures, including operating and administrative expenses and dividends paid in accordance with REIT distribution requirements; and (iii) opportunistic expenditures, including new loans.

Our contractually obligated expenditures primarily consist of payment obligations under the debt financing arrangements which are set forth below, including in the table under “Contractual Obligations and Commitments.”

~~Table of Contents~~

We expect to use additional debt and equity financing as a source of capital. Our board of directors currently intends to operate at a leverage level of between one to three times book value of equity. However, our board of directors may change this target without shareholder approval. We ~~believe that the recent listing of our common stock will improve our access to capital through public offerings of our securities. We~~ anticipate that our debt and equity financing sources and our anticipated cash generated from operations will be adequate to fund our anticipated uses of capital.

Table of Contents

In addition to our current mix of financing sources, we may also access additional forms of financings, including credit facilities, securitizations, public and private, secured and unsecured debt issuances by us or our subsidiaries, or through capital recycling initiatives whereby we sell certain assets in our portfolio and reinvest the proceeds in assets with more attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Collateralized Loan Obligations

Repurchase Agreements and Revolving Credit Facilities, Commercial Mortgage Loans

~~As of September 30, 2022 we have~~The Company has entered into repurchase facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "JPM Repo Facility"), Barclays Bank PLC (the "Barclays Revolver Facility" and the "Barclays Repo Facility"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "WF Repo Facility"), and ~~Credit Suisse AG~~Atlas SP Partners (the ~~"CS~~"Atlas Repo Facility" and together with JPM Repo Facility, WF Repo Facility, Barclays Revolver Facility, and Barclays Repo Facility, collectively, the "Repo and Revolving Credit Facilities").

The Repo Facilities are financing sources through which wethe Company may pledge one or more mortgage loans to the financing entity in exchange for funds typically at an advance rate of between 65% to 75% of the principal amount of the mortgage loan being pledged.

We expect to use the advances from these Repo and Revolving Credit Facilities to finance the acquisition or origination of eligible loans, including first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participation interests therein.

The Repo and Revolving Credit Facilities generally provide that in the event of a decrease in the value of our collateral, the lenders can demand additional collateral. Should the value of our collateral decrease as a result of deteriorating credit quality, resulting margin calls may cause an adverse change in our liquidity position.

Future agreements are dependent upon the willingness of lenders to participate in the financing of mortgage investments, lender collateral requirements and the lenders’ determination of the fair value of the investments pledged as collateral, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates and liquidity conditions within the commercial banking and mortgage finance industries. None of our repurchase agreement counterparties are obligated to renew or otherwise enter into new agreements at the conclusion of existing borrowings.

Election as a REIT

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, if we meet certain organizational and operational requirements and distribute at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income" (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders in a year, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of the income that we distribute. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings

Distributable Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted for (i) non-cash CLO amortization acceleration and amortization over the expected useful life of the Company's CLOs, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on loans, derivatives and ARMs, including CECL reserves and impairments, (iii) non-cash equity compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) ~~non-cash incentive~~subordinated performance fee ~~accruals,~~accruals/(reversal), (vi) loan workout charges, (vii) realized gains and losses on debt extinguishment, (viii) certain other non-cash items, and ~~(vii)~~(ix) impairments of acquisition assets related to the Capstead merger. Further, Run-Rate Distributable Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, presents Distributable Earnings before trading and derivative gain/loss on ~~residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities.~~ARMs.

The Company believes that Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings provide meaningful information to consider in addition to the disclosed GAAP results. The Company believes Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric for existing and potential future holders of its common stock as historically, over time, Distributable Earnings has been an indicator of dividends per share. As a REIT, the Company generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its ~~net~~ taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, and therefore believes dividends are one of the principal reasons stockholders may invest in its common stock. Further, Distributable Earnings helps investors evaluate performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that the Company does not believe are necessarily indicative of current loan portfolio performance and the Company's operations and is one of the performance metrics the Company's board of directors considers when dividends are declared. The Company believes Run-Rate Distributable Earnings is a useful financial metric because it presents the Distributable Earnings of its core businesses, net of the impacts of the realized trading and derivative gain/loss on the residential adjustable-rate mortgage securities acquired from Capstead, which the Company is actively in the process of liquidating from its portfolio.

Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings do not represent net income (loss) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Run-Rate Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Credit Risk

Our investments are subject to a high degree of credit risk. Credit risk is the exposure to loss from loan defaults. Default rates are subject to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, borrower financial condition, property performance, property management, supply/demand factors, construction trends, consumer behavior, regional economics, interest rates, the strength of the U.S. economy, and other factors beyond our control. All loans are subject to a certain probability of default. We manage credit risk through the underwriting process, acquiring our investments at the appropriate discount to face value, if any, and establishing loss assumptions. We also carefully monitor the performance of the loans, as well as external factors that may affect their value.

~~Table of Contents~~

Capital Market Risk

We are exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under repurchase obligations or other debt instruments. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing and terms of capital we raise.

Market uncertainty and volatility may cause fluctuation in market value of certain asset classes within our portfolio. We have and may continue to receive margin calls from our lenders as a result of the decline in the market value of the assets pledged by us to our lenders under our repurchase agreements and warehouse credit facilities, and if we fail to resolve such margin calls when due by payment of cash or delivery of additional collateral, the lenders may exercise remedies including demanding payment by us of our aggregate outstanding financing obligations and/or taking ownership of the loans or other assets securing the applicable obligations and liquidating them at inopportune prices.

Market Risk

As a result of the closing of the Capstead merger on October 19, 2021 we hold ARM Agency ~~Securities.~~securities. Changes in the level of interest rates and spreads can significantly impact the value of these assets. We may utilize a variety of financial instruments in order to limit the adverse effects of interest rates on our results. Since the closing of the merger, we have made significant strides in unwinding our ARMs portfolio and expect to reduce this portfolio and thereby further mitigate our market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we may borrow funds at fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. We do not have any foreign denominated investments, and thus, we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, our portfolio included ~~163~~152 and ~~161~~157 variable rate investments, respectively, based on LIBOR and SOFR (or "indexing rates") for various terms. As of June 2023, the Company has fully transitioned all loans on LIBOR indexing rates to SOFR indexing rates. Borrowings under our financing arrangements are ~~also~~ based on ~~LIBOR and~~ SOFR. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase by 50 or 100 basis points or decrease by 25 basis points, assuming that our current balance sheet was to remain constant, and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity. The changes in the portfolio for each basis points increase/decrease is a change from the base scenario.

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial mortgage assets are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, ~~the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,~~ national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; and demographic factors. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Please refer to “Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings” in “Note 10 -– Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The Company believes that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

Loan Fraud Lawsuit

~~On July 26, 2022, the~~The Company ~~(through~~originated a subsidiary) filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, against, among others, the borrower, the individual sponsor of the borrower, and the guarantors under a first priority mortgage loan ~~that the Company, along with a separate fund affiliated with the Company's external manager, originated~~ in April ~~2022. The original principal balance of the Company’s loan is $113.2 million. The loan is~~2022 secured by a portfolio of ~~twenty-four~~24 properties ~~that are~~ net leased to Walgreens (the “Collateral Properties”). As more particularly described under Item 3. Legal Proceedings in ~~more detail in~~our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~complaint filed in Dallas County, in July~~year ended December 31, 2022, due to the sponsor’s fraud and default under the loan, the Company determined that the borrower had provided the Company with numerous falsified and forged documents in connection with the underwriting of the loan. Such documentation significantly and fraudulently inflated the purported valueforeclosed on all of the Collateral Properties ~~by misrepresenting~~in 2022 and 2023. Note that the rent rates and maturity dates of the Walgreens leases at the Collateral Properties, among other things. On July 27, 2022, the court issued a temporary restraining order freezing the assets of the borrower, the borrower’s sponsor and his parents, and any proceeds from our loan, pending the next scheduled legal proceeding in August 2022. The Company has also reported the fraud to criminal authorities and is assisting such authorities with their consideration of the matter. On October 10, 2022, the District Court of Dallas County entered a judgment in favor of the Company and its affiliated fund against the Borrower, the sponsor and certain of his family members, and certain related companies involved in the fraud, in the amount of $158.6 million, with $1.0 million of additional exemplary damages against the Borrower and $3 million of additional exemplary damages against the sponsor. In addition, the Company has commenced foreclosure proceedings against its collateral properties. As of the date of this filing, the Company has taken title to seven collateral properties in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. The Company intends to continue to pursue all available legal remedies as set forth in the complaint against any party determined to have been involved in, or that improperly benefited from, the scheme. The collectability, if any, of amounts of legal judgments we have achieved to date and that we may achieve in the future is not currently determinable.

Williamsburg Hotel Bankruptcy Case

The sale of the Williamsburg Hotel, the Company’s Brooklyn hotel asset, by a trustee appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, was completed on April 18, 2023, after an extensive marketing process, pursuant to the Chapter 11 plan in In re 96 Wythe Acquisition LLC, Case No. 21-22108. The sale closed for a total sale price of $96 million, comprising cash and new indebtedness. As a result of the sale, the Company recovered the full principal amount of its loan (equal to the carrying cost of the loan as of December 31, 2022) and approximately $20 million of additional proceeds after the payment of all related closing expenses. The Company may elect to pursue additional remedies available under the loan documents.

Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. There have been no material changes from these risk factors.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

The Advisor committed to a $35 million open market share purchase program in connection with the Capstead acquisition. As of July 8, 2022, the Advisor had purchased its entire $35 million commitment. The Company’s board of directors has authorized a $65 million share repurchase program that ~~has now become operative following the conclusion of the Advisor's purchase program. The Company’s share repurchase program authorizes~~permits share repurchases at prices below the most recently reported book value per share as determined in accordance with GAAP. Purchases made under the Company’s program may be made through open market, block, and privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any purchases by the Company ~~will be~~are determined by the Company in its reasonable business judgment and consistent with the exercise of ~~their~~its legal duties and ~~will be~~are subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The ~~Company~~Company's share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. The Company’s share repurchase program will remain open until at least December 31, 2023 or until the capital committed to the ~~applicable~~ repurchase program has been exhausted, whichever is sooner. Repurchases under the ~~Company’s~~ share repurchase program may be suspended from time to time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice.
